History of slavery in North Carolina

Slavery was legally practiced in the Province of North Carolina and the state of North Carolina until January 1, 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.  Prior to statehood, there were 41,000 enslaved African-Americans in the Province of North Carolina in 1767.  By 1860, the number of slaves in the state of North Carolina was 331,059, about one third of the total population of the state.  In 1860, there were nineteen counties in North Carolina where the number of slaves was larger than the free white population.  During the antebellum period the state of North Carolina passed several laws to protect the rights of slave owners while disenfranchising the rights of slaves.  There was a constant fear amongst white slave owners in North Carolina of slave revolts from the time of the American Revolution.  Despite their circumstances, some North Carolina slaves and freed slaves distinguished themselves as artisans, soldiers during the Revolution, religious leaders, and writers.

Growth of the slave population in North Carolina

The Lord Proprietors encouraged importing of slaves to the Province of North Carolina by instituting a headright system that gave settlers acreage for the number of slaves that they brought to the province. The geography was a factor that slowed the importation of slaves.  Settlers were forced to import slaves from Virginia or South Carolina because of the poor harbors and treacherous coastline.  The enslaved black population grew from 800 in 1712 to 6,000 in 1730  and about 41,000 in 1767.

In the early years, the line between white indentured servants and African laborers was vague, as some Africans also arrived under an indenture, before more were transported as slaves. Some Africans were allowed to earn their freedom before slavery became a lifelong racial caste. Most of the free colored families found in North Carolina in the censuses of 1790-1810 were descended from unions or marriages between free white women and enslaved or free African or African-American men in colonial Virginia. Because the mothers were free, their children were born free. Such mixed-race families migrated along with their European-American neighbors into the frontier of North Carolina. As the flow of indentured laborers slackened because of improving economic conditions in Britain, the colony was short on labor and imported more slaves. It followed Virginia in increasing its controls on slavery, which became a racial caste of the foreign Africans.

The economy's growth and prosperity were based on slave labor, devoted first to the production of tobacco. The oppressive and brutal experiences of slaves and poor whites led to their using escape, violent resistance, and theft of food and other goods in order to survive.

The number of slaves in North Carolina increased from 100,783 in 1790 to 351,059 in 1860.  The percentage of population that was slaves varied by county.  There were 19 counties in 1860 where the slave population was greater than the free white population in 1860.   These counties were in agricultural areas producing cotton, tobacco, rice and naval stores and where larger plantations and farms existed in the coastal plains, Piedmont, and counties bordering Virginia.  There were more slaves in both Virginia and South Carolina in 1860.  The Appalachian mountain counties had a lower percentage of slaves.  The number of slaves in the western North Carolina counties (Davidson, Washington, Tennessee, Sullivan) that became part of Tennessee in 1796 had relatively few slaves.

Slave owners

African American slaves were owned by white men and engaged in work as house servants, as skilled craftsmen, and as workers on small farms and large plantations.  Plantations were characterized as large farms that produced cash crops beyond subsistence requirements.  The number of slaves on a plantation would vary from tens to over one thousand at larger plantations.  Early 1900 efforts to document the number of plantations in North Carolina indicate that there were at least 328 plantations in the state.

Slaves were personal property of their owners and could be sold at the discretion of the owner.   Slaves were also conveyed in personal wills of the slave master to heirs.  Through records of slave auctions and estate records, the value of slaves were recorded.  The value of a slave depended on the gender and age with able bodied male slaves and especially artisans being the highest.   The value of a slave was between sixty and eighty pounds at the time of the French and Indian War  (17541763).  The value of a slave increased to about 180 pounds in 1780 and to about 800 dollars in 1840.  At the onset of the Civil War, the value of a prime field hand was $1,500 to $1,700, a women $1,300 to $1,500 and an artisan slave as much as $2,000.

Slave religions
The religion amongst slaves was diverse.  Some twenty to thirty percent of slaves that came to America were Muslim.  A few had heard of Christianity but many followed traditional African religions.

During the 1700s, most slaves held on to their native religions and customs from Africa.  However, by the early 1800s, slaves were converting to Protestant religions--most notably Baptist and Methodist.  Some white churches had balconies where slaves were allowed to attend services with their masters.  Fear of slave revolts did not allow slaves to organize churches until after the Civil War.

Notable slaves and freed slaves

Alice Vickery

Alice Vickery (also known as A. Vickery Drysdale and A. Drysdale Vickery; 1844 – 12 January 1929) was an English physician, campaigner for women's rights, and the first British woman to qualify as a chemist and pharmacist. She and her life partner, Charles Robert Drysdale, also a physician, actively supported a number of causes, including free love, birth control, and destigmatisation of illegitimacy.

Education and marriage

Vickery was born in Devon in 1844 to a piano maker and organ builder. By 1861, she had moved to South London. Vickery began her medical career at the Ladies' Medical College in 1869. There she met the lecturer Charles Robert Drysdale and started a relationship with him. They never married, as they both agreed with his brother George (also a neo-Malthusian physician) that marriage was "legal prostitution". The society, however, generally presumed that the pair were married; had their contemporaries known that they were in a free union, their careers likely would have suffered. Vickery sometimes added Drysdale's name to her own, referring to herself both as "Dr. Vickery Drysdale" and as "Dr. Drysdale Vickery".

In 1873, Vickery obtained a midwife's degree from the Obstetrical Society. On 18 June the same year, she passed the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's exam and became the first qualified female chemist and druggist. Afterward, Vickers went to study medicine at the University of Paris, as women were not allowed to attend any British medical school. There she gave birth to her first child, Charles Vickery Drysdale. The UK Medical Act 1876 allowed women to obtain medical degrees, and Vickery returned to England in 1877. In 1880, she became one of five women who qualified as physicians in the kingdom, obtaining her degree from the London School of Medicine for Women, and started practising medicine. In August 1881 her second son, George Vickery Drysdale was born.

Activism

Vickery became a member of the Malthusian League and an outspoken supporter of birth control after the trial of Annie Besant and Charles Bradlaugh, who were arrested for publishing a book about contraception in 1877. When she was called to testify at the trial, she spoke about the dangers of too frequent childbirths and of using over-lactation as a contraception method. She had to temporarily withdraw from the League, however, because the London Medical School for Women did not approve of her activities. She resumed membership in 1880, when she obtained her degree, and spent the following decade lecturing about birth control as a key element to the emancipation of women. At the same time, she actively opposed the Contagious Diseases Acts.

Both Vickery and Drysdale joined the Legitimation League, set up in 1893, and campaigned for equal rights for children born out of wedlock. Vickery felt that the organisation "did not go far enough" until it started advocating free love. She was successively a member of the National Society for Women's Suffrage, the Women's Social and Political Union, and the Women's Freedom League. After Drysdale's death in 1907, Vickery continued practising as a physician and succeeded him as president of the Malthusian League, while their elder son Charles and daughter-in-law Bessie became the new editors of the journal Malthusian. Soon afterward, she became one of the first members of the Eugenics Education Society.

Later years

Vickery moved to Brighton in 1923 to be near her elder son. She regularly addressed meetings of the local branch of the Women's Freedom League. She died of pneumonia on 12 January 1929, a few days after delivering an address that became her final public presentation. She was buried with Charles Robert Drysdale in Brookwood Cemetery.

Family

Her life-partner was Dr Charles Robert Drysdale. Their sons were Charles Vickery Drysdale FRSE (1874-1961) and George Vickery Drysdale (1881).

Informationsdienst Wissenschaft

Informationsdienst Wissenschaft e.V. or idw (The Science Information Service) operates an Internet platform, which bundles the press reports and dates of important events from about 1,000 scientific institutions, including universities, technical colleges, governmental and non-governmental research institutes and institutes to support research or scientific administration. idw (a registered charitable society) also operates an expert broker, the idw expert finder, which is exclusively for journalists. This makes idw one of the most comprehensive sources of science news in the German-speaking area. Foreign journalists and institutions (mostly European) now use idw as well.

The two main objectives of idw are:
 To provide the public with a comprehensive picture of science in the German-speaking area.
 To create a close network between the linked (research) institutions.

Services
The information in idw can be accessed free of charge - either directly on idw’s www pages, or by using an individually configurable RSS feed or as an e-mail subscriber. Any user can request the information covering the topics and regions which interest him. All idw services can be used free of cost - the current news ticker, the science calendar, research in the archive (which contains more than 375,000 press releases), and the list of institutions linked to idw. idw also provides journalists with instruments for contacting experts, and maintains a database with science photos.
The members' press offices have various possibilities of communicating with journalists. Membership is only offered to German or foreign institutions which perform research or teaching, or which support science or are active in science in some other way.

Idea and Foundation
The original idea of idw was to provide experts for journalists. Using the American ProfNet as example, the press officers of Universitaet Bayreuth, the Ruhr University Bochum and the Clausthal University of Technology, in collaboration with Computing Centre of Clausthal University of Technology/TU Clausthal, developed a concept for a German language network, by means of the new media. The concept was technically implemented by the staff of the Computing Centre of the Clausthal University of Technology. A total of nine staff members in Bayreuth, Bochum and Clausthal are responsible for programming, maintaining and developing the idw operating system, for user services and further development of the content.

Financial Support and Development
The initial phase (1996–1999) was guaranteed by project support from the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). The technical development of the idw was supported by the Ministry, together with the Stifterverband fuer die Deutsche Wissenschaft (Donor Association for German Science). idw has been working closely for years with the initiative Wissenschaft im Dialog (Science in Dialogue). idw has been economically independent since 2000 and is financed by contributions from member institutions. It has been organised as a registered charitable society (gemeinnütziger e. V.) since 2002. As part of its quality control, since 2009 idw awards the annual idw Award for Science Communication for the best year's best press releases.

Significance and Scope
idw has developed as a recognised and accepted source for German language science and for science journalism. It has become an instrument for public relations work for scientific institutions.
About 38,000 subscribers (figure for July 2019) receive regular reports from idw, including some 8,000 journalists. About 1,000 institutions publish their press reports and dates of important events via idw.

He has also been used as a source for the Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, National Interest Online, and Roll Call for stories ranging from the Obama administration's foreign policy to Donald Trump, ISIS, and the 2016 Presidential Election.

In the policy realm, he has served as an advisor to several presidential campaigns, to the State Department, and to the drafters of U.S. National Intelligence Estimates. In early 1991, Lieber participated in a debate with Christopher Hitchens at Georgetown over the merits of the First Gulf War. Lieber supported the war while Hitchens opposed it.

Publications

Lieber has authored nine books since 1970, mostly on international relations theory, U.S. foreign policy, petroleum politics and European affairs. He has been the editor or co-editor of eight other books in the field. Most recently he has authored a series of books on American engagement and retrenchment in the 21st century, published by Cambridge University Press.

He has written pieces for the Washington Post, New York Times, National Interest, Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun, Christian Science Monitor, Harper's, and Salon.

His three most recent books, collectively referred to as the "American Futures Trilogy," including Retreat and Its Consequences: American Foreign Policy and the Problem of World Order (2016), Power and Willpower: Why the United States is Not Destined to Decline (2012), and The American Era: Power and Strategy for the 21st Century (2005) were published by Cambridge University Press.

"Reductio ad Iraqum"
In his 2005 book, The American Era: Power and Strategy for the 21st Century, Lieber coined the neologism "Reductio ad Iraqum," to refer to the contentious political climate after the 2003 Invasion of Iraq where debate on major foreign policy dilemmas often devolved into the blame game and reducive arguments over the consequences of the war. The phrase has continued to circulate around foreign policy analysis for at least a decade after its inception.

Personal life

Lieber appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 thriller North by Northwest as an extra.

Will Magnus

Doctor Will Magnus is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Publication history
He first appeared in Showcase #37 alongside his creations, the Metal Men and was created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru.

Fictional character biography
One of the most impressive geniuses of the DC Universe with doctorates in theoretical mathematics, mechanical engineering, and particle physics, William Maxwell "Will" Magnus often offers scientific advice to other characters. His greatest achievement is the one for which he first received renown: the creation of the Metal Men. The method through which Doc Magnus created the Metal Man has varied over years with various writers. At first they were just blank slate robots with responsometers, devices which generated their intelligence and personalities which just happened to be evocative of the metals from which they were formed.

In an attempt to boost sales of the comic book, the characters underwent vast changes. The Metal Men all assumed human alter egos, while Doc Magnus became a fugitive scientist dedicated to global conquest. His personality change was credited to having been kidnapped, reawakened, and brainwashed by a mad dictator. Sales plunged instead and the comic was not printed for a few years. Eventually Metal Men was picked up again with Doc's sanity restored and he returned to assist his Metal Men.

At one point he saved Doom Patrol's Robotman, whose original body had been destroyed by Madame Rouge. Doc Magnus recovered Robotman's brain and built him a new cybernetic body.

In 1993, a four-part Metal Men miniseries retconned much of their backstory. It was revealed that the responsometers were not responsible for the Metal Men's sentience and that the Metal Men actually were imprinted with the intellects and personalities of real people: Magnus' own brother Mike, his fiancee Sharon, two lab workers Redmond Wilde and Randy Pressman, a janitor named Thomas Tinkham, and a pizza-delivery man named Jack. These unfortunate personalities were accidentally transferred to blank robots in a lab accident. At the climax of the miniseries, Gold, one of his robots, was permanently killed and Doc Magnus mortally wounded. Doc permanently transferred his personality into a blank robot known as Veridium, made of a green alien metal, becoming the new robotic leader of the Metal Men.

52
With the advent of Identity Crisis, Gold is back and Doc Magnus is once again human and played an active role in the series 52.

As revealed during Infinite Crisis, when Superboy-Prime pounded on the walls of reality, he caused the very fabric of reality to shift, changing and merging histories. The "blank robots with responsometers" origin is said to be the definitive origin while the "human personalities" origin and the 1993 miniseries has been described as the byproduct of a mental breakdown suffered by Magnus. When Booster Gold visited, asking for help with Skeets, Magnus commented that the Metal Men "don't quite work anymore."

The responsometers are now described as containing an "artificial soul" invented by Doc Magnus, as inspired by T. O. Morrow, who is revealed to have taught him at college and to have been the only one not to laugh at Magnus's theories. After the unexplained dismantling of the Metal Men, Doc Magnus is unable to recreate these souls and restore their personalities. He now takes Prozac for the bipolar disorder which caused his nervous breakdown and the depression which led to the creation of the Plutonium Man, a tremendous, nearly indestructible superweapon based upon the Metal Men, but with Magnus' then-own deranged, twisted worldview as its operating system. It is implied that although the medication is keeping Magnus from doing anything irrational, it is also deadening his imagination and creativity and that this is the reason he can not recreate the Metal Men.

Magnus is approached by government agents hoping to use the Metal Men as soulless smart weapons, an offer Magnus rejects. Through all of this, Magnus visits Morrow in his cell in Haven. Morrow warns Magnus that there have been numerous abductions of "mad" scientists, including Doctor Sivana, whose lair Magnus investigates.

Eventually Morrow himself disappears, leaving a note for his former student with a string in machine code. Using the code, Magnus is able to revive Mercury, but his robotic friend and creation is apparently destroyed again while trying to save him from the conspiracy trying to kidnap every mad scientist in the DCU.

During Week 22, mindless replicas of the Metal Men force Magnus to escape from his burned house before he is captured by what is revealed to be a separate group "Chang Tzu's Science Squad". This would be the second time Magnus has confronted Chang Tzu. A previous incarnation of the villain once managed to brainwash the Metal Men, but their loyalty to Magnus restored their rightful minds.

This group is based on Oolong Island (said to be part of the territory of China) and has been responsible for the disappearing scientists (including Professor Morrow). The group is being financed by Intergang with the collusion, it is implied, of the Chinese government. The assembled scientists have been given unlimited budgets to invent various super weapons including, in particular, various types of robots.

During Week 23, a giant robot, piloted by animals from Intergang, delivers Doc Magnus to Oolong Island.

Magnus is assigned to design and construct a new Plutonium Man robot, but deliberately makes little progress, saying to Morrow that the original Plutonium Man was an expression of his pain and rage brought on by his mental illness and that the reason he takes his medication is to prevent himself from doing something like that again. Morrow reveals this to the Island's leaders and Magnus's medication is confiscated.

Magnus then proceeds to work on Plutonium Man, saying this time he will "do it right". Though he is unstable due to his lack of medication, Magnus is not fully co-operating with Chang Tzu. Magnus goes about scavenging materials from various items (gold from a gold watch, lead from lead shielding, mercury from thermometers, and tin from cans of baked beans which he adopts as his sole diet - presumably in order to ensure the other scientists will not want to spend too much time with him, as well). This allows him to reconstruct his Metal Men, albeit only a few inches high. These new Metal Men are shown to help Magnus remain sane despite being off his pills, such as when they persuade him to deactivate the now completed Plutonium Man after he turns it on during a period of depression.

Ooolong Island is attacked by the JSA seeking to rescue Black Adam, and Chang Tzu orders the Plutonium Man activated. Chang notes that he has been spying on Magnus and knows that several metals have entered the lab and not come back out. The Metal Men attack Chang Tzu, allowing Magnus to escape and switch off the Island's defenses. While he does this Morrow confronts Magnus and destroys Mercury, yet again. Magnus explains to Morrow why it's pointless to stop him from deactivating the shields as the JSA will get in eventually, and instead offers him the chance to teleport out, saying that Morrow was "the best teacher I ever knew" and that he tries "to over look the psychopathic super villain thing". Morrow accepts the offer.

Magnus is then confronted by Chang Tzu whom he apparently kills with the aid of Lead and what he describes as a particle wave ray gun. Magnus also indicates this shooting was a result of his irrationality, brought on by the lack of his medications. Magnus then surrenders to the JSA.

With all charges against him dropped, due to being coerced into collaboration, Will Magnus returns to his home and laboratory. There, when Booster Gold visits him again, exactly one year after their last meeting, with a salvaged responsometer containing Skeets' "memself", asking him to somehow restore the robot destroyed by Mister Mind, Magnus agrees. He reveals to have in his possession a copy of Skeets' memories, and so he is able to rebuild him as a security droid 2.0, slightly more advanced, but oblivious of the events of the past years.

Now sane again, he returns to working on his Metal Men.

Superman/Batman
In the Superman/Batman series Doc Magnus is shown working again with his Metal Men. He has even built a new one, the spunky and wisecracking gynoid Copper. Despite contrary advice from his fiancée he asks Bruce Wayne for a tryout of his Metal Men as security guards. The trial is successful, but the Metal Men fail on the field, due to mistrust by the human personnel and Brainiac's influence, leaving Doc Magnus the responsibility of saving the day.

JLA
Magnus has recently assisted the Justice League of America with the rebuilding of Red Tornado. After Red Tornado's first intended body is stolen by Amazo, he is called on again to provide Red Tornado with yet another new body, more powerful and advanced than the previous one. Despite his good intentions, the attempts comes to another downfall, and almost spells his death, when Amazo returns to claim the newer and stronger body for himself.

Metal Men (2009)
The Metal Men are later restored as a second feature in the revamped Doom Patrol (5th series), written by Keith Giffen. Now living in simple suburbia in Kanigher Street, the Metal Men seem to be affected by his currently, partly deranged, state of mind. Iron seems unaffected, Gold is now humorously self-obsessed and magniloquent, Platina is lovesick, Lead is dimwitted and prone to errors, Tin is always scared and affected by chronic self-esteem issues, and Mercury, once brilliant and humorous, has now developed the same bipolar disturbance affecting Will Magnus himself, and refuses to take medications. Copper, the newest and seventh member, is disturbingly ignored by her teammates, who often refuse to acknowledge her presence despite being side by side with her.

The New 52
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Will Magnus is first mentioned in the Forever Evil storyline. A rebuilt Cyborg heads out to find Will Magnus so that he can learn about his "Metal Men" project. Meeting with Will Magnus, Cyborg learns that he can not help him. Magnus tells him the history of the Metal Men project, how they were built to execute search and rescue missions that humans could not tackle. After he was able to get them online, the government went back on their word and chose to have the Metal Men become assassins. The Metal Men hid at Magnus' apartment where they help protect Magnus and the population from an experiment gone wrong, destroying themselves in the process. Seeing their responsometers that control them in Magnus' lab, Cyborg senses that their minds and hearts are still active encouraging Magus to activate them once more to help him.

Powers and abilities
 While human, Doc Magnus had no special abilities aside from his great intellect. His vast intelligence was responsible for the creation of the Metal Men, along with various other robots.
 While he was Veridium, Magnus was the most powerful of the Metal Men. He could store and channel heat and energy.

Other versions
Will Magnus is featured in the Smallville Season 11 digital comic based on the TV series.

In other media

Television
 His character was alluded in The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. In the episode "The Twenty-Third Dimension", a Magnus Labs building is seen in the Midway City skyline (referred to by the narrator as the Magnus Building) and Hawkman's pet hawk Screal is on the top of it.
 The character appears as Dr. William Milton Magnus in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by Corey Burton. In the episode "Clash of the Metal Men", he shows up with the title characters to help Batman defeat Chemo. Later, he shows Batman how he created the Metal Men as a step to a new tomorrow. The Gas Gang kidnap him and take him to their base, where they reveal their identities as Magnus' assistants who were presumed killed in a lab explosion when in reality, they were transformed into gaseous forms. They force him to build them robot bodies because their gaseous forms are fading away. Dr. Magnus complies just as Batman and the Metal Men arrive to save him. After a fierce fight, the heroes triumph in the end. Dr. Magnus reappears again with the Metal Men in the episode "The Super-Batman of Planet X" while helping Batman stop Kanjar Ro and a group of Space Pirates. Magnus reappears in the episode "The Siege of Starro" [Part 2] when Booster Gold needed the Metal Men to fight Starro's giant composite titan form. Unfortunately, Dr. Magnus was under Starro's control and tried to use the Metal Men to work for the space invader. Skeets managed to stop him, enabling the Metal Men to help Batman fight the giant composite monster in their combined form, Alloy.
 Dr. Will Magnus appears in the Metal Men shorts of DC Nation Shorts, voiced again by Corey Burton.
 Magnus is mentioned in the Arrow episode "Spartan". He is described as a pioneer in robotics engineering and the head of Magnus Labs, offering Felicity Smoak a lot of money to use her Archer identification program as part of some AIs he is building.

Film
 Dr. Will Magnus appeared in Warner Premiere's animated feature Justice League: The New Frontier, voiced by Townsend Coleman.
 An alternate reality version of Will Magnus appeared as the main antagonist in Justice League: Gods and Monsters, voiced by C. Thomas Howell. He first appears as an ally of Kirk Langstrom, having helped devise Kirk's serum that transformed him into a pseudo-vampire (and later Batman) as part of an attempt to cure his cancer. However, it is later revealed that a year after Kirk's accident, he accidentally beat his wife Tina to death after he realized that she preferred Kirk over him. This prompted him to set out to try and end all human conflict as he felt that his actions, committed by himself as a particularly rational, intelligent, and benevolent man, proved that there was no hope for humanity. To this end, he frames the Justice League members Superman (Hernan Guerra), Batman (Kirk Langstrom), and Wonder Woman (Bekka of New Genesis) for the deaths of various scientists like Ray Palmer, Silas Stone, Victor Stone, and Victor Fries. This is meant to drive them out of their base so he can use Superman's old ship as a power source for a series of miniature Boom Tubes which will plant nanites in the minds of every human on the planet in order to connect them into a collective consciousness. Although Superman and Bekka are kept occupied by various human troops who believe that the League were responsible for Magnus' murders, Kirk manages to keep Magnus occupied long enough for Lex Luthor to reveal the truth, allowing the League to destroy Magnus' equipment. With his plan foiled and regretting his actions, Magnus commits suicide by apparently destroying his organic nanites.

Video games
 Will Magnus is featured in DC Universe Online. He appears as a vendor in the Watchtower's Tech Wing.

Muntazah Oryx Investments

Muntazah Oryx Investments is a Qatari private company headquartered in Doha, Qatar, that invests in foreign start-ups and a wide range of businesses within Qatar. The company is fully owned by its founder Mark Dossa, a Sydney-based Saudi Arabian financier who started the firm in July 2010. The stated goal of the company is to "Invest in the future of Qatar by bringing important services provided by foreign companies to Doha." In just over a year, the company has invested in a number of Qatari sports and recreational clubs and hotels. The firm is also planning to introduce three new dental practices to Doha by 2015 based on leading foreign dental technologies and services.

Investments
As a private company, Muntazah Oryx has not fully disclosed its investment information, but it is noteworthy for its support of five recreational clubs across Doha and its financial backing of part of new developments at Doha International Airport. Muntazah Oryx is committed to increasing education and health services in Qatar, and has developed plans for dental facilities and a new international high school in Doha. The company came under much controversy after a failed attempt to expand the Bahrain supermarket chain Al Muntazah (which was entirely unrelated despite its name) into Doha, when the firm failed to follow through on any of its payments to Al Muntazah's parent company, the Almeer Group, when negotiating for the brand name rights in Qatar. Construction on what was to be Qatar's first Al-Muntazah supermarket was indefinitely halted in May 2012, and finally cancelled in November of the same year. After Muntazah Oryx failed to follow through on its contractual obligations to pay the licensing fee to the Almeer Group, Muntazah Oryx was taken to court in a major case for Qatar's financial sector. Eventually, the parties settled out of court.

In February 2014, expansions of Al-Dawat Sports Club, one of Muntazah Oryx's largest holdings, began.

Importance
Muntazah Oryx Investments is noteworthy in Qatar and the surrounding region in particular for its role in the Al-Muntazah Licensing Scandal and subsequent court action against MOI by the Almeer Group. The company owns the most recreational clubs across Doha and has sponsored Q-League club El Jaish SC. MOI's investment was key in renovating the Doha Plaza Hotel and Doha International Airport. MOI has announced plans for three new health and dental education centers in Doha and has expressed a desire to eventually fund an international high school in Doha.

Notoreas simplex

Notoreas simplex is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand.

Taxonomy
This species was first described in 1898 by George Hudson using material he collected on Mount Arthur in January. Hudson also discussed and illustrated this species in his 1928 book The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand. The genus Notoreas was reviewed in 1986 by R. C. Craw and the placement of this species within it was confirmed. In 2010 Brian Patrick, Robert Hoare and Birgit Rhode synonymised Notoreas regilla with N. simplex. Although they retained the species N. simplex this status was regarded by them as tentative. Species within the genus Notoreas are currently regarded as being in need of revision and in particular this species is regarded as needing more taxonomic work. The holotype specimen is held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Description
Hudson originally described the species as follows:

However the holotype specimen Hudson used for this description is regarded as diverging from the normal appearance of this species. Also Philpott's specimen used for the first description of Lythria regilla is a distinctive form of N. simplex.

Distribution
N. simplex is endemic to New Zealand. This species is found in the mountains of Nelson, Marlborough and Canterbury and also on the Kaikoura and Canterbury coast as far south as Kaitorete Spit.

Life cycle and behaviour

The female moth lays her eggs within the flower buds of their host plant. When the larvae emerge from their eggs, they eat into the leaves or buds of their host, hiding from predators. Once they are large enough, they emerge to feed from the fresh growth of the plant. N. simplex pupate in a loose cocoon on the ground under their host. N. simplex likely has two generations each year with adults on the wing in the months of late September until April. N. simplex are day-flying moths. They are low but fast flyers and constantly vibrate their wings to enable them to take off rapidly.

Host species
The host plants for the larvae of N. simplex are endemic species of Pimelea including Pimelea prostrata at Kaitorete Spit.

Northwest Harvest

Northwest Harvest is a non-profit organization supporting food banks in Washington State. Northwest Harvest distributes food to a network of more than 370 food banks, meal programs, and high-need schools throughout Washington State.

History

In 1967 a group of Seattle community leaders formed The Ecumenical Metropolitan Ministry (EMM), an interfaith organization committed to identifying and addressing the primary problems of the poor and disadvantaged. Shortly after the formation of The EMM, Boeing's workforce dwindled from more than 100,000 employees to 32,500. By June 1971, unemployment in the Seattle area spiked from 2.9% to 13.1%.

Realizing that hunger was one of the most significant problems facing Seattle and beyond, The Ministry partnered with two other organizations to organize a food bank system, originally known as Neighbors in Need. In October 1970, they opened 34 food banks, originally conceived as "a short-term immediate response to the immediate crisis".

Even as the Seattle area recovered from its employment crisis, widespread need for food assistance remained. By early 1972, the network found itself serving 70,000 people per month. The Reagan administration's 1982 cuts to federal food stamp programs exacerbated this need, and led to further expansion of the food bank system.

In 1980, Northwest Harvest distributed just over 1 million pounds of food. By 2013 the amount of food distributed by Northwest Harvest increased to 32 million pounds.

Source of Food

All of the food and operating funds received by Northwest Harvest comes from individuals, businesses, foundations, and other organizations. Approximately 25% of the food distributed by Northwest Harvest is purchased staples, such as rice, beans, pasta, canned fruit and vegetables, and protein. The other 75% comes from in-kind donations, mostly from businesses and institutions. The food received from food drives "provides… variety… [and] helps break the monotony of the staple food items".

Distribution

Northwest Harvest operates their own distribution centers in Kent, Spokane, and Yakima. These warehouses allow Northwest Harvest to handle large quantities of food, including perishable items such as fruits, vegetables, and meat. They also partner with distributors in Grays Harbor, Lewis County, Wahkiakum County, and the Emergency Food Network of Tacoma. These organizations often support one another with staff and transportation services to maximize their efficiency.

Cherry Street Food Bank

Northwest Harvest's Cherry Street Food Bank in the First Hill Neighborhood of Seattle is the one of the busiest in Washington, providing nearly 1.5 million meals annually.

Story
Real crimes such as the spider robber, VCD piracy, juvenile delinquency, gangsterism and cybercrime have been woven into this 25-episode action story. The police officers in the story stay alert daily to provide security to the civilians, making them the "True Heroes".

Chen Junhao (Christopher Lee) is a righteous and courageous cop who was born into a family of police officers. Junhao graduated with top honours from the police academy and harbours the ambition to follow his father's footsteps into the elite Criminal Investigation Department. He is sorely disappointed when he learns that he has been assigned to a neighbourhood police centre. At the NPC, Junhao and his colleague Wang Feng (Allan Wu) do not see eye to eye and their relationship further deteriorates when Junhao accidentally mistakes Wang Feng's father for a robber and "arrests" him.

During a big fire, Junhao saves the life of an old lady, earning the adoration of the old lady's granddaughter, Irene (Yvonne Lim), who is the neighbourhood "ah lian". Much to Junhao's annoyance, Irene tries to come between him and his colleague-cum-love-interest, Kexin (Phyllis Quek).

Wang Feng falls for Junhao's sister Huimin (Jeanette Aw), who attempts to patch up his relationship with his younger brother Wang Wei (Zzen Zhang). He eventually changes his mind about Junhao when the latter saves him during a mission. Junhao also accepts Wang Feng after uncovering his troubled and complex family life.

Junhao's best friend uses his identity to commit multiple sex crimes and Junhao ends up taking the rap and is jailed. Kexin's younger sister has been kidnapped as revenge against her. Wang Feng witnesses the stabbing of his own younger brother, who eventually dies in his arms. Each officer is tested as their jobs soon catch up with their personal lives.

At the end, Huimin (Jeanette Aw) joins the Police Force as a Sergeant, whereas Kexin gets promoted to Staff Sergeant

EasyBCD

EasyBCD is a program developed by NeoSmart Technologies to configure and tweak the Boot Configuration Data (BCD), a boot database first introduced in Windows Vista and used in all subsequent Windows releases. EasyBCD can be used to set up multi-boot environments for computers on which some versions of Windows, Linux, BSD and Mac OS X can be simultaneously installed; EasyBCD can also be used for adding entries to bootable tools and utilities, as well as modifying and controlling the behavior of the Windows boot menu. EasyBCD 2.3 introduced additional support for creating and managing entries for UEFI-based Windows entries in the boot menu. As of June 20, 2011 with the release of EasyBCD 2.1, it is no longer free for use in commercial environments which require the purchase of a paid license, however it remains free for home and non-profit use without limitations.

Supported operating systems
EasyBCD runs on Windows and modifies the Windows Boot Configuration Data (BCD) to add support for other operating systems. Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP are supported by handing off the control of boot to either NTLDR or the EasyBCD-specific EasyLDR, which bypasses NTLDR and boots directly into the OS. MS-DOS, Windows 3.x and Windows 9x can be chainloaded via modified versions of IO.sys and the Windows 9x boot sector. Linux and BSD are loaded either by handing off control of the boot process to GRUB or LILO or by using EasyBCD's own NeoGrub module (which is based on GRUB4DOS). Mac OS X is loaded via the Darwin bootloader. Other operating systems are also supported by means of chainloading their specific loader environments.

Features

Bootloader configuration

EasyBCD has a number of bootloader-related features that can be used to repair and
configure the bootloader.
From the "Manage Bootloader" section of EasyBCD, it is possible to switch between the bootmgr bootloader (used since Windows Vista) and the NTLDR bootloader (used by legacy versions of Windows, from Windows NT to Windows XP) in the MBR from within Windows by simply clicking a button. EasyBCD also offers a feature to back up and restore the BCD (boot configuration data) configuration files for recovery and testing purposes.

In the "Diagnostics Center," it is possible to reset a corrupt BCD storage and automatically create the necessary entries for the current operating system, as well as search for and replace missing/corrupt boot files. This latter feature can be taken advantage of to install the Windows Vista BCD bootloader.

EasyBCD can be used to change the boot drive, rename or change the order of any entries in the bootloader, and modify existing entries to point to a different drive.

Newer versions of EasyBCD also support creating bootable USB disks, by deploying BOOTMGR and the BCD onto a removable disk and performing the necessary actions to make the drive bootable, after which it can be loaded into EasyBCD to add and remove the various supported entry types in order to create bootable repair USB sticks.

EasyBCD also supports changing the boot partition/drive that PC boots from, changing the default boot entry, re-ordering menu entries, and modifying the timeout behavior of the boot menu.

Windows
EasyBCD supports a number of different Windows entries, and can be used to install and configure the following:
 MS-DOS 6.x
 Windows 95-ME
 Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
 Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
 Windows 7
 Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
 Windows 10

Depending on the version of Windows being added in EasyBCD, certain other options may be available. These include enabling support for unsigned drivers on 64-bit Windows installations, booting into the various flavors of safe mode, limiting Windows to a certain amount/number of memory or CPU cores, verbose boot logging, and enabling/disabling of both PAE and DEP/NoExecute.

As of version 2.0, EasyBCD uses a new method for booting into Windows NT/2000/XP that does not use NTLDR in order to avoid a two-level boot menu (the BCD boot menu followed by the NTLDR/BOOT.INI boot menu for cases where multiple legacy NT operating systems are installed). Instead, EasyBCD uses a boot-time helper developed by NeoSmart Technologies called EasyLDR, which replaces NTLDR and bypasses boot.ini entirely, directly loading the operating system in question without showing the user a second selection menu.

Windows PE
Windows PE 2.0 through 5.1 are supported under a separate module in EasyBCD. EasyBCD can boot into two different Windows PE systems:
 Compressed Windows PE WIM images
 Windows PE partitions

EasyBCD supports booting into WinPE 2.0+ WIM images stored on any local partition by providing the path to the WIM file. It automatically re-configures the BCD to add support for the WIM format. It can also boot into a Windows PE filesystem extracted to the root of a mounted drive letter.

Linux
EasyBCD can boot into Linux by one of two means:
 Chainloading GRUB/GRUB2/LILO/etc.
 NeoGrub

The traditional chainloading method creates an image of the GRUB/LILO bootsector on the local disk and loads this image during boot-time in order to chainload the second bootloader which should already be configured to boot into Linux or BSD. EasyBCD has profiles for and officially supports the chainloading of GRUB (Legacy), GRUB2, LILO, eLILO, and Wubi (for Ubuntu).

EasyBCD also ships with NeoGrub, a customized build of Grub for Dos, which can be configured by editing C:\NST\menu.lst with the standard Legacy GRUB syntax for directly booting into the needed Linux or BSD partitions, or chainloading another bootloader to load the OS in question.

BSD
As of version 2.1.1, EasyBCD contains a module specifically tailored for booting into BSD-based operating systems which was developed in cooperation with the PC-BSD team. This module works in tandem with the BTX bootloader to support booting into BSD systems in both BIOS (MBR) and UEFI (GPT) environments, and the PC-BSD setup wizard has been developed with this capability and module of EasyBCD in mind.

Mac OS X
EasyBCD can chainload the Mac OS X Darwin bootloader in order to boot into OS X on another partition or physical disk. It doesn't require that Darwin be installed to the bootsector of the OS X partition. This facilitates multi-boot installation in OSX86 setups, and can currently be used with either MBR or EFI configurations.

Removable devices

In conjunction with EasyBCD's ability to create bootable USB drives, it also has the option of creating portable entries that can be used on the normal PC bootloader or more practically on bootable external media.

EasyBCD can create entries that boot into hard disk images (both VHD and raw disk image formats), ISO images, WinPE 2.0+ WIM files, floppy disk images, and BIOS extenders.

List of federal judges appointed by Jimmy Carter

Following is a list of all Article III United States federal judges appointed by President Jimmy Carter during his presidency. In total Carter appointed 262 Article III federal judges, including 56 judges to the courts of appeals, 203 judges to the United States district courts, 1 judge to the United States Court of Claims and 2 judges to the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Later presidents have exceeded Carter's total number of judicial appointments, which had itself surpassed the previous record of 231 set by Richard Nixon, but Carter retains the record for the largest number of judicial appointments in a single term.

Although Carter made no appointments to the Supreme Court of the United States, two of his Court of Appeals appointees—Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—were later appointed to the Supreme Court by Bill Clinton.

Only one of Carter's appointees, Carmen Consuelo Cerezo of the District of Puerto Rico, remains on active status in the role to which Carter appointed her.

Bony Moronie

"Bony Moronie" was the third single by Larry Williams, released in 1957.

Original version
Williams' original peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #4 on the U.S. R&B chart. Since then the song has been covered many times.

Hush version

In April 1975, Australian glam rock band Hush released a version, which peaked at number 4. The band performed the song on Countdown. Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane said that  "One of the defining moments of Australia's 1970s pop legacy was undoubtably Hush performing "Boney Moroney" (on Countdown)" He described how "Keith Lamb wiggled his satin flares-encased bum, thrust out his crotch and leered at the camera with a mischievous look in his eyes (and all the little girls understood). Les Gock dashed around the set in stack-heeled boots and glam threads, with peroxided streaks in his flowing, jet-black hair. Rick Lum hammed it up in a serious kind of way. Chris Pailthorpe cheerfully revealed his goofy, gap-toothed grin whenever the camera panned across his face."

The song was the first single from the albums fourth studio album, Rough Tough 'n' Ready.

Charts

Other cover versions
Several early rock singers recorded their own versions of the song, notably Johnny Burnette, The Standells, Bill Haley and Ritchie Valens. Dick Dale and his Deltones included a version on their 1965 album Rock Out With Dick Dale & His Del-Tones Live At Ciro's. Among others who have used the song are The Cyrkle on their 1966 debut album, Red Rubber Ball, Joni Mitchell during her 1970 concert in Amchitka for Greenpeace, pairing the song with Big Yellow Taxi in a medley.The Who included a 1971 live performance on their 1994 compilation Thirty Years of Maximum R&B; Dr. Feelgood included it on their 1974 album Down by the Jetty; Johnny Winter included it on his 1974 album Saints and Sinners and on his 1975 album Captured Live!; Showaddywaddy and Julie Covington recorded for the 1977 Amnesty International benefit show The Mermaid Frolics, Gram Parsons performed it live in 1973, the performance was released in 1982 on Live 1973. James Booker covered the song on his album Resurrection Of The Bayou Maharajah (1993) as part of a medley with "Slow Down", "Knock On Wood", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", and "Classified".

French and Spanish versions
Les Habits Jaunes made a French cover version entitled "Miss Boney Maronie" in 1965.

The song was translated into Spanish by Enrique Guzmán and Manny Martinez, who renamed it "Popotitos".

Originally released as a single in 1961 by Guzman's and Martinez's band Los Teen Tops, "Popotitos" was also covered by a wide range of Spanish-speaking artists such as Ricky Martin and Miguel Ríos. The song was recorded by Argentinian rock/pop group Serú Girán in 1982, which introduced "Popotitos" to younger generations, and made it a hit again across Latin America.

Rumoured Beatles versions
According to biographer Mark Lewisohn, the Beatles (first as the Quarrymen) regularly performed the song, from 1957 until 1961 with John Lennon on lead vocal, but there is no known recorded version. Lennon himself recorded it for his 1975 album, Rock 'n' Roll. Roy Young recorded a single version in 1972 (liner notes CD set Roy Young The Best of 50 Years). Additionally three of Lennon's original Quarrymen cut a version during rehearsal in 1993 that came out on CD as The Quarry Men - The Rehearsal Tapes, copyrighted and privately released in 2004 (only via website sales, now out of print).

In popular culture
 The song was featured, among others, in the 1980 film Up The Academy, and the 1983 movie Christine.

Chart performance

Take Control (horse)

Take Control (February 14, 2007 – October 17, 2013) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.

Take Control was the son of two Horses of the Year: A.P. Indy and Azeri. In September, Azeri's A.P. Indy yearling colt, Vallenzeri (his previous name), was bought back by the trust for a Keeneland-record $7.7 million. Take Control was bought by Kaleem Shah, CEO of CALNET, from the Keeneland 2 year old in Training Sale in 2009.

He was trained by Bob Baffert.

Breeding and early life

Take Control was born on February 14, 2007, at Hill N Dale Farm in Lexington, KY. He was previously named Vallenzeri - the "V" referring to Valentine's Day (the day he was born), "allen" referencing Allen Paulson and "zeri" referencing his mother, Azeri. He was consigned to the yearling sale, where he was bought back for $7.7 million by his previous owner, the Allen Paulson trust. Later he was sold at the Keeneland 2 year old in Training Sale to Kaleem Shah, CEO of Calnet.

Racing career
Take Control won his career debut at Santa Anita Park, running over one mile. The chestnut colt rallied from last in his debut race on December 30, 2009, earning $27,000 for the win. He was then sidelined shortly after with a front shin injury and pointed towards a summer campaign. Bob Baffert said he was pointing him towards Saratoga's Travers Stakes.

Sore shins and assorted other problems had kept the chestnut away from the races throughout 2010 and for much of 2011. On June 30, 2012, Take Control won his first start back in a $52,000 Allowance Optional Claiming race at Betfair Hollywood Park. Take Control defeated 9 other horses in 1:45.24 winning by a length and half margin.  In July 2012, Take Control placed fourth in the Grade 2 Del Mar Handicap.

After another long layoff, he returned to the track in September 2013.  He ran in the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes, finishing 10th and last.

On October 17, 2013, Take Control broke down during a workout at Santa Anita Park, and was euthanized as a result of the injury.

Fincastle County, Virginia

Fincastle County, Virginia, was created in 1772 from Botetourt County. At the time the colony believed its boundaries extended west all the way to the Mississippi River.

In 1776 the Virginia General Assembly abolished Fincastle County, organizing three new counties:Montgomery, Washington, and Kentucky. (In 1792 the latter jurisdiction was admitted as the 15th state, the Commonwealth of Kentucky.)

Although no county seat was designated by the act creating the county, the colonial governor ordered it to be placed at the "Lead Mines" of Wythe County. Austinville, Virginia, developed here.

Botetourt County may have been named for the English home of Norborne Berkeley, 4th Baron Botetourt, a very popular governor of the Colony of Virginia. He died just before the tensions of the impending American Revolution made the job much more difficult. John Murray, Earl of Dunmore and Viscount of Fincastle, succeeded Lord Botetourt. Fincastle County may have been named in his honor, or for his son Lord Fincastle.

If so, it was clear why the new rebel Americans changed the name in 1776. At that time, Lord Dunmore was leading the military opposition to the rebels in Virginia. He had already issued Dunmore's Proclamation offering freedom to any slaves of rebels who fled their Virginia masters and joined the British forces; this was much resented by rebel planters and slaveholders.

The name is represented on Virginia maps by the town of Fincastle, the county seat of the original Botetourt County.

Heat (Buffy/Angel novel)

Heat is an original novel based on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Tagline: "An original crossover novel based on the hit television series created by Joss Whedon & David Greenwalt"

Plot summary
Buffy and Angel both battle the same ancient evil, a Possessor who was once Qin, First Emperor of China. As a Possessor, Qin's body loses its temperature fast and he is forced to jump from body to body through the ages, rendering him immortal. In present-day Sunnydale and Los Angeles, Qin is attempting to usher in the Year of the Hot Devil and drive humans out of his dimension by resurrecting an ancient dragon frozen in ice from centuries before.

Continuity
Set during Buffy season 7, and Angel season 4.  References in the book place it after the sixth episode of each series ("Him" and "Spin the Bottle" respectively).
Buffyverse canon characters include: Buffy, Angel, Cordelia, Spike, Jhiera
Jhiera, who previously appeared in Angel episode She, appears throughout.

Canonical issues
Buffy/Angel books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy/Angel merchandise.  Yet, in light of the verbal ret-con given by George Lucas, when Marvel/Disney bought the rights to the Star Wars film franchise, the permanence of such officiality is understandably dubious.

Live! (The Police album)

Live! is a live album by The Police, released in 1995 on compact disc and cassette tape. It is the first live album of the band, and the only one covering the period when it was active. (A live album from the reunion tour, Certifiable: Live in Buenos Aires, would be released in 2007).

Contents
According to Andy Summers, the idea of releasing an album of live material by The Police went back as far as 1982. Up until that point, a few live tracks had only surfaced on B-sides and compilations such as Urgh! A Music War (1980). The plan was to have a new album of the band to act as a stopgap between Ghost in the Machine (1981) and Synchronicity (1983). The record was mixed and mastered in Canada but never released.<ref>Andy Summers, One Train Later, Piatkus, London, 2007</ref> Similar plans took place in 1984 at the tail of the band's Synchronicity tour, but the project was shelved again, this time in favour of a greatest hits album (Every Breath You Take: The Singles). In 1995, thanks to the technical possibilities and greater running time offered by the CD format, the idea regained momentum and Summers was invited to produce. The album features the band performing at two very distinct periods of its career. Disc one contains almost the complete concert on 27 November 1979 at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. It features mostly material from the first two albums, Outlandos d'Amour and Reggatta de Blanc, as well as songs only released as singles or B-sides such as "Fall Out" and "Landlord". The performance was broadcast by the WBCN (FM) radio in Boston. Disc two contains excerpts from two concerts on 2–3 November 1983 in Atlanta, Georgia at The Omni during the Synchronicity tour for the album of the same name. On this occasion the band was augmented by three backing vocalists. Both shows were widely known to fans as they have been circulating in bootleg format for many years. The 1983 shows were also featured in the 1984 Synchronicity Concert VHS and the 2005 DVD release, and a live version of Tea in the Sahara has been released as the B-side of King of Pain in 1984. Live! contributed to refresh the popularity of The Police about a decade after their break-up, at a time when all the three members were enjoying successful solo careers. It also had the merit of showcasing the band's live activity, and their propensity for rearranging and extending known songs such as "Roxanne" and "Walking on the Moon". An edited version of "Can't Stand Losing You" from the Boston performance was released as a single and reached number 27 in the UK charts, while the album itself reached number 25.

ReceptionLive! was generally well received. David Sinclair in Q magazine noted how the album added an important dimension to the band's recorded legacy by offering a reminder of why The Police were one of the great performing acts of their day. Paul Colbert from Encore Magazine wrote: "It may have taken 10 years for a live album to materialise, but these two CDs were worth the wait, capturing two essential periods, two indispensable sets of material". Andrew Abrahams emphasised the difference between the two performances, observing how the one in Boston "captures a hungry rock band on its ascent" while the one in Atlanta "is more predictable, revealing a super-group that has settled into fame and commercial acceptability". In an interview in Q'' Magazine, Sting seemed to agree with this point. "I remember those small gigs so much better than the stadium shows. I can remember pretty well every night of the first tour: which gigs had tricky stairs to negotiate with the gear; what was said in the dressing room; which encores we did. But a stadium just looks like a stadium".
