Founderism

Founderism (being a Founderist) is an intellectual outlook that has a strong "reverence for the founders" of the United States. The term is viewed as a pejorative epithet, accusing those so labeled as having a worldview that sacrifices historical accuracy for turning the "founding into a fetish".

The antonym "anti-founderism" is applied to those who "seem convinced that there was something profoundly wrong with the origins" of the state.

Shinpei Ogura

Shinpei Ogura (小倉進平) was a Japanese linguist who studied the Korean language.

Ogura is well-known in Korea for his contributions to Korean linguistics, with much of his field work and studies considered invaluable resources even in recent years. Ogura made a number of landmark firsts in the field; he was the first person to decipher hyangga poetry documents. He is also considered the first modern researcher of Korean dialects, and traveled throughout the peninsula doing field research. The data he collected on dialects are still widely referred to, especially because the division of Korea in 1945 has made it difficult to study dialects on opposite ends of the peninsula.

Ogura, while teaching high school, was called by his students Soch'ang Chinp'yŏng, the Hanja Korean reading of his name.

Biography
Ogura was born in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Empire of Japan into a family of scholars. After graduating from the Second Tertiary School (predecessor to the modern Tohoku University ), he entered Tokyo Imperial University, where he majored in linguistics. He graduated in 1906, with a thesis on the phonology of Japanese during the Heian period. After graduating, he performed research under the guidance of notable Japanese linguist Ueda Kazutoshi. During this period, he planned to continue studying Japanese, but in 1911, ended up moving to Korea at the age of 29 to serve as an official under the Japanese Governor-General of Korea. He would end up spending 20 years on the peninsula.

Researching Korean
During this time, he held a number of academic and teaching positions, including at the Keijō Medical School (a predecessor to Seoul National University). He also taught Japanese to students and edited textbooks. By June 1919, his rank in the government was Vice-Chancellor. While working in the colonial government, Ogura contributed to the development of a Korean dictionary, which was eventually published in 1920.

Researching dialects
Ogura travelled the peninsula and performed extensive research on the various Korean dialects, making him the first modern researcher to do so. While his interest in dialects was initially more of a hobby (he even used his own vacation time to make these trips), he eventually devoted more attention in it, as he saw studying texts alone as insufficient to deciphering hyangga. He visited Jeju Island in 1912, Hwanghae Province in 1913, South Gyeongsang Province in 1915, North Gyeongsang Province in 1916, South Chungcheong and South Jeolla Province in 1918, South Hamgyong Province in 1920, North Jeolla and North Chungcheong Province in 1921, North Gyeongsang Province in 1922, and Gangwon Province in 1923.

Throughout his surveys, he studied dialects at 259 points throughout the peninsula. He began at each regional county office and branched out from there. For much of this work, he traveled on horseback, as there was a significant lack of infrastructure in rural areas. The colonial government actively supported his research; he was assigned a police officer for protection when he worked in Jeju. The result of this work was around 40 papers on Korean dialects.

Hyangga and idu
During this time, he also studied old Korean books and documents. This includes his now famous research on hyangga in the 1920s, which he eventually published in 1929. In 1927, he received a doctorate in literature, with his thesis on hyangga and idu. His work in this area inspired the Korean academic Yang Ju-dong to research hyangga as well.

Later career
From August 1924 to April 1926, he studied abroad in Europe as an overseas researcher and professor at an overseas branch of Keijō Imperial University. Following this, he returned to Korea and was made a professor of linguistics at Keijō. There, he trained a number of Korean linguists. He also opened the first university library in Korea in 1926. A significant number of the notable Korean linguists and librarians from around this period were his former students.

In 1933, he was appointed professor of linguistics at Tokyo Imperial University, although he visited Korea annually to lecture. During this time, he continued publishing on Korean dialects. In 1935, he received an Imperial Prize of the Japan Academy for his contributions to East Asian linguistics and his exploration of the relationship between the Korean and Japanese languages. In 1938, he served as the first vice president of the Linguistic Society of Japan.

He retired in 1943 due to poor health, although he continued his research on Korean. He died on February 8, 1944. At the time of his death, he had been in the final stages of preparing a book of his life's research. The book was subsequently posthumously published that May by one of his students, Shibata Takeshi. Many of the old books that he collected throughout his research are now held in the Ogura Collection at Tokyo University.

Legacy
Amongst Korean linguists, Ogura is well-known but has a mixed legacy. While he made significant contributions to the study of Korean and was sympathetic to the plight of the peninsula under the Japanese Empire, he also considered the Korean culture and civilization to be inferior to those of Japan, and saw their subjugation as a natural outcome of that.

[ RESPONSE: Lorain City was not "originally" named 'Charleston'; it was originally named Black River Village beginning in the 1820s.

Ryan Brown (comics)

Ryan Brown (born May 2, 1962, in Lodi, Ohio) is a comic book writer and artist and toy designer best known for his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the animated series Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa.

Early life
Ryan Brown is a 1980 graduate of Norwayne High School, in Creston, Ohio.

Career
Brown created Ninja April O'Neil in a 1985 pin-up published in the fourth printing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. He would later bring his interpretation of the character to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures title published by Archie Comics. Brown began inking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title in 1985 and continued until 1988, when he and partner Steve Lavigne began producing artwork for licensed TMNT products. Brown worked primarily as inker over Lavigne's pencils.

In 1986 Brown and writer Doug Brammer published (under the company name Rion Productions) two issues of Rion 2990, a proposed four-issue limited series which was a tribute to Japanese comics. As such, it was one of the first examples of Original English-language manga.

As a Mirage Studios staff artist, Brown designed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure Farmer Mike for Playmates Toys. According to credits included on the back of turtles action figures, Brown also created Hothead, Scratch, Monty Moose, King Lionheart, Halfcourt, Wyrm, Scumbug, Leatherhead, Doctor El, Wingnut, Ray Fillet, Sandstorm, Mondo Gecko and Rock'N Roll Mondo Gecko. Scratch and Farmer Mike are un-credited on the back of the toy packaging, but Brown has confirmed at different convention appearances that he did create the cat burglar as well as designed Farmer Mike. Brown's comic book series The Selected is populated with his old unused TMNT toy designs.

In the late 1980s, Brown, with partner Stephen Murphy, created the Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures universe for Mirage Studios. The team of Brown and Murphy created the Mighty Mutanimals as a spin-off of the Adventures title. Brown inked over 80 covers for the Archie TMNT Adventures title.

His character Motorhead appeared in an issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine.

Brown created his concept the Hallowieners in 1984. Mirage Studios published a comic book about the giant mutant monster Halloween hot dogs in 1989.

Brown was a participant in the drafting of the Creator's Bill of Rights in 1988.

Brown also created the ABC Saturday morning animated television series Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa (which debuted in 1992), and helped with development on its corresponding video game for the arcade by Konami. The game itself easily compared to Konami's own Western game Sunset Riders.

From 1995 to 2000, Brown's character Bog Swamp Demon appeared in a number of titles: first with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vol. 2, then in a limited series published by Hall of Heroes, and later comics published by Image Comics and Numbskull Press.

Brown appears in the 2014 documentary film, Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, from Paramount Pictures.

File:ANOES Blackthorne.png

Licensing
This is merely concept art, and Blackthorne Publishing folded in 1990 without the comic ever being released. The Blackthorn logo is visible on the page. No copyright should exist for this. It's hard to imagine this not being in the public domain for those reasons. See explanation below.

Fair use rationale for A Nightmare on Elm Street

 * This is from Blackthorne Publishing which folded in 1990 without being bought by a parent company. Though the uploader at Comicartfans never figured it out, this is obviously the concept art done by Andy Mangels for the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3d comic book adaption that never came to be. How the original uploader at that site came by this is anyone's guess. See the Adaptions and literature section for an explanation.
 * To be used for the Adaptions and literature to show what remains of a "lost comic".
 * No resizing should be necessary, as the art is most likely free due to the bankruptcy of Blackthorne Publishing and since it's merely an early concept art of a comic that was never released.

Portal:Structural biology

Welcome to the Department of Structural Biology!

Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology concerned with the study of the architecture and shape of biological macromolecules—proteins and nucleic acids in particular—and what causes them to have the structures they have. This subject is of great interest to biologists, because macromolecules carry out most of the functions of a cell, and because typically it only is by coiling into a specific three-dimensional shape that they are able to perform their functions. This shape, which is called the "tertiary structure" of a molecule, depends in a complicated way on the molecule's basic composition, or "primary structure."

Biomolecules are too small to see in detail even with the most advanced light microscopes. The methods that structural biologists use to determine their structures generally involve measurements on vast numbers of identical molecules at the same time. These methods include crystallography, NMR, ultra fast laser spectroscopy, electron microscopy, electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM), and circular dichroism. Most often researchers use them to study the static "native states" of macromolecules. But variations on these methods are also used to watch nascent or denatured molecules assume or reassume their native states (see e.g. protein folding).

A third approach that structural biologists take to understanding structure is bioinformatics to look for patterns among the diverse sequences that give rise to particular shapes. Researchers often can deduce aspects of the structure of integral membrane proteins based on the membrane topology predicted by hydrophobicity analysis. See: protein structure prediction.

In the past few years it has become possible for highly accurate physical molecular models to complement the in silico study of biological structures. Rapid prototyping technologies such as those used by 3D Molecular Design, or the creation of molecular models in glass by Luminorum Ltd, are notable examples of recent advances in this field.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar (the best I see are two short mentions in two interviews in google books, but neither goes beyond a one-sentence plot summary or such). The PROD was removed without any rationale, so here we go. There is no referenced content to merge, and no valid redirect target (the author is not notable, and the topic is not mentioned in the publication in which the character reportedly appeared in).

 * Keep There's a good account of the subject here. As it was optioned for a movie and several scripts were written, there's a fair amount of buzz out there.  It's at the low end of notability but having been published by National Lampoon is good enough for me.  Andrew🐉(talk) 10:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * How is the webpage at https://comixjoint.com/ reliable? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:26, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: I added several references to the article. Larry McMurtry discusses his movie script for Honkytonk Sue for about a page in his book Hollywood: A Third Memoir (Simon and Schuster, 2010). There are several pages in the book The Complete Book of Country Swing & Western Dance, and a Bit about Cowboys. There is also coverage of the lengthy attempts to make a Sue movie in The Arizona Republic, in a 1986 article and 1987 article. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I am sorry but what we get is just a few sentences in passing, not even a paragraph, and they are mostly from the author or other involved people from the newspaper (so not-idependent/WP:INTERVIEW). And they boil to the fact that "Columbia Pictures bought the rights to Honkytonk Sue". That's it. They didn't do anything with it. The entire non-PLOT coverage of this comic is just that. I am sorry, but this still fails GNG by a long-short. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:29, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 05:20, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - It is impressive this was considered for a movie script, but the newspaper articles and book excerpts presented are one-two sentences long. This seems too little to build an article on, in my humble opinion. GizzyCatBella  🍁  07:25, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Eddie891 Talk Work 12:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: There's some sources mentioned here, but it doesn't seem like they impressed other reviewers. There's also an appeal to WP:HEY, but no explanation of how the article was improved. If people could provide solid analysis of sources one way or the other, whoever closes this in a week will appreciate it.
 * Delete based on the current sources being rather weak. Is there a place this could be merged? It seems like something that could be discussed on a list much more easily than a standalone. TTN (talk) 14:33, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- RoySmith (talk) 00:10, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Based on WP:HEY and can be improved further. I also find it a case of Deletionism, which I personally don't support. - The9Man  ( Talk ) 06:48, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - I don't find the deletion arguments convincing. I wonder how debates of like subject matters would go if the core contributors were hard-core comic book fans who would have access to more appropriate sourcing for something of this nature. Especially if they were even marginal feminists. The deletion argument offered here doesn't do it for me. Honkytonk Sue had a lengthy enough run, even on and off, to inspire scripts for Goldie Hawn. — Maile  (talk) 14:28, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article is sufficiently well-sourced to pass the general notability guideline. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:35, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Portadown railway station

Portadown Railway Station serves the town of Portadown in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.

The station is located on the Belfast-Dublin railway line. The original station opened in 1842, and the present station opened in 1970. It is currently NI Railways 6th busiest station with over 1.1 million passengers in the 2023/24 financial year

History
The original Portadown station was sited half a mile east of the present station and opened on 12 September 1842, replacing a temporary station at Seagoe that had opened the preceding year. The Portadown station was moved to the present location in 1848 then reverted to its original site between 1863 and 1970. Goods traffic ceased on 4 January 1965. The present station opened in 1970, replacing a large and largely redundant station.

At the time (1970) the station was called Portadown - Craigavon West, a title that was quietly dropped after the "new city" Craigavon failed to materialise. The layout of the 1970 station was modified in 1997 to allow bi-directional working on all three platforms. The lines to Cavan via Armagh (closed 1957), and Derry via Dungannon and Omagh (closed 1965) diverged immediately west of the present station. In 2012, work began on a major refurbishment of the station. A new, modern building was constructed and a footbridge replaced the subway. The refurbishment was completed in 2013.

Layout
The station has three platforms. After the station upgrade being completed in late May 2013 both platforms 1, 2 and 3 have lifts and have disability access. Platform 3 is usually used for storage of a NIR train but one departs from this platform occasionally towards Belfast. Platform 1 is for all trains south, to destinations such Dublin Connolly, Dundalk Clarke and Newry while Platform 2 and 3 are used for Belfast & Bangor bound services, both express and stopppers.

Service
This is the terminus for most services from Bangor or Belfast but there are 4 services which continue to Newry Mondays to Saturdays only. There is a half-hourly service to Belfast  and. There is a two hourly Enterprise service to or Belfast Lanyon Place. On Sundays there is an hourly service to Bangor and no NIR services at all to Newry, although five Enterprise services still operate between these two stations.

This line can be popular with rugby fans connecting at for the DART to Lansdowne Road. The line is also used by rail passengers changing at Dublin Connolly onto the DART to Dún Laoghaire for example or travelling to Dublin Port for the Irish Ferries or Stena Line to Holyhead, and then by train along the North Wales Coast Line to London Euston and other destinations in England and Wales.

Link to Armagh City
There is a possibility of re-opening of the line from Portadown to Armagh railway station. Government Minister for the Department for Regional Development, Danny Kennedy MLA indicates railway restoration plans.

The Armagh railway line has been listed in proposed plans to reopen the line.

All-Island Rail Review
The all-island rail review draft suggested that Portadown become a major interchange between the current Dublin-Belfast Main line, proposed lines such as the single tracked Mullingar-Portadown Line via Armagh, Monaghan, Clones, and Cavan and the dual tracked Derry~Londonderry-Portadown Line via Dungannon, Omagh and Strabane. Portadown would also become an inland freight terminal serving connections to Rosslare Europort, Dublin Port and Larne Harbour.

The All-Island Rail Review draft also includes 29 other recommendations for railways across the Island of Ireland and it is said that it will take a least 25 years to competed. It would cost in the range of €36.8bn/£30.7bn (as of 2023) and be split between both regions. 75% by the Republic of Ireland and 25% by Northern Ireland.

No plans as of May 2024, have gone about implementing this review.

Draft:Archive/2024/Ontosomose of Gender

The world of evidence - or the onto-somatic reality - reproduces itself by means of info-somatic embodiment of limited entities (information), and the energy secures validity, which realizes itself as continuous self-being of the particular existence. The evident genders are info-somatic constructs. Their self-being is based on info-somatic splitting: When terms communicate, they split a unit, which is not medialised therefore and no own spatiotemporal evidence attained. It lasts and is experienced, because it serves a synthetic purpose. It donates energy for the synthesis of the self-unity. Their experiencing bases on those physicalness, which correspond self-its to the spatiotemporal reality. The Ontology of the original unit lies outside of our experience world, which to us only temporal and causal appears, because we can exist only by the self-its in reality. Genders are embodied in reality, which emerges physical evidence. They appear to us therefore separately and physically evidently. In the reason Entities become only then material if they are onto-somatic designed by our brains. Genders develop, if splitting their former unit achieves the energetic mode of the reproduction, which makes the particularity possible of the other one. The reproduction of the physical evidence is function of the sexualness; the Metagender does not reproduce, because he exists not in our world. Its info.-somatic potential unfolds itself in a time-spatial world as binary evidence of the sexes. (By Leon R. Tsvasman)

Cell Biology/Energy supply/Krebs cycle

The Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle or Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle and occurs within the Matrix of the Mitocondria.

Acetyl-Coenzyme A produced from the Link Reaction is synthesised into Citric Acid by the action of citrate synthase and its combination with Oxaloacetate. The citric acid, known as Citrate in its ionised form is then converted into Isocitrate by aconitase. This is then converted to Alpha-Ketoglutarate by citrate dehydrogenase in an oxidative decarboxylation reaction, in which one molecule of CO2 is given off and one molecule of NAD+ is oxidised to NADH. Another oxidative deecarboxylation converts the alpha-ketoglutarate to Succinyl Coenzyme A with the addition of CoA-SH and again the loss of a CO2 and the oxidation of NAD+ is seen. Succinyl CoA is then converted into Succinate by the action of Succinyl CoA Synthetase, the addition of water, the loss of CoA-SH and the substrate level phosphorylation of one molecule of ADP to ATP. Succinate is then converted to Fumarate by Succinate Dehydrogenase, a dehydrogenation reaction which results in the reduction of FADH+ to FADH2. Fumarate is, in turn, hydrated by the addition of one water molecule by Fumarase to Malate which is finally converted back to Oxaloacetate by Malate Dehydrogenase in a dehydrogenation reaction that oxidises one NAD+ to NADH. The cycle can then begin again.

There are many products of, and substrates for the Krebs cycle: for instance, amino acids can be metabolised to or catabolised from Acetyl CoA, Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Succinyl CoA, Malate and Oxaloacetate, depending which specific amino acid. Pyruvate can be re-synthesised by Pyruvate carboxylase from Oxaloacetate, which can either replenish the Krebs Cycle or make glucose by Gluconeogenesis. Citrate can be used for fatty acid (fat) or cholesterol synthesis. Succinyl CoA can be used to make Haem for Red Blood Cells.

NADH and FADH2 are then used in the electron transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Net gain for the Krebs Cycle: 2 Carbon Dioxide, 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 per molecule of Acetyl CoA

James Hamilton (Pennsylvania politician)

James Hamilton (1710 – August 14, 1783), son of the American lawyer Andrew Hamilton, was a lawyer and governmental figure in colonial Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. He served two terms as deputy governor of the Province of Pennsylvania from 1748 to 1754 and from 1759 to 1763. From 1745 to 1747, he was the mayor of Philadelphia

Early life and education
Hamilton was born in Philadelphia in 1710, in what was then the colonial-era Province of Pennsylvania. He was educated in Philadelphia and England before becoming a practicing lawyer in 1731.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
On December 28, 1733, his father resigned as prothonotary of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and Hamilton was appointed to the office.

In May 1734, James's father, Andrew Hamilton, sold him the town that is present-day Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for 5 shillings. Later that month, on May 21, the younger Hamilton secured a patent from the Penn family for his grant on the Lancaster land.

After the death of his father on August 4, 1741, Hamilton inherited his 150-acre estate known as Bush Hill north of the city. He assisted his brother-in-law William Allen in the administration of lands purchased by his father to be used for the state house and surrounding public space.

Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly
Hamilton was a member of the provincial assembly from 1735 to 1740.

Mayor of Philadelphia
He served as mayor of Philadelphia for one year from 1745 to 1746. During his tenure as Philadelphia mayor, Hamilton kept a record of servants and apprentices bound before him, which historians have used to gauge the nature and extent of indentured servitude in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania since Philadelphia was then an entry-point for indentured servants entering the Province of Pennsylvania from Europe.

Lieutenant governor of the Province of Pennsylvania
Hamilton became a member of the provincial council in 1746. He was commissioned by the sons of William Penn to serve as lieutenant governor of the Province of Pennsylvania, serving in that capacity until 1754, then again from 1759 to 1763, and briefly in 1771 and 1773.

On September 13, 1761, Hamilton and William Allen conveyed Lot no. 1 and the other pieces of property obtained by Andrew Hamilton and Allen to Isaac Norris II and the other trustees in charge of purchasing property for the Philadelphia State House, which was later renamed Independence Hall. The conveyance of this land completed the area of the yard: property that contained the state house and the public spaces surrounding it.

During the period when Philadelphia was the federal capital of the United States, prior to its relocation to Washington, D.C., in 1800, Hamilton was on an extended stay in England. He rented Bush Hill to the federal government for residential use by the vice president.

Hamilton was visiting London in 1748, when he received the commission of deputy governor for the province from the Penns. Upon his return to Philadelphia, Hamilton faced unrest from the Native American population. Their territory north of the Blue Mountain, west of the Susquehanna River, was being encroached upon by settlers illegally. Hamilton authorized Richard Peters and Conrad Weiser to assist in removing these squatters after the provision in the Land Purchase of 1749, which authorized their removal by force if necessary.

Other issues Hamilton confronted included:
 * Encroachment of the French Military into forts in the land of the Pennsylvania Charter at Presque Isle, Venango, La Boeuf and Du Quesne.
 * Organizing and funding a defense against the French in opposition to the pacifist Quaker element in the Assembly
 * Friction between the Assembly and Proprietors on taxing Proprietary land holdings
 * Assembly discontent over the Proprietors' refusal to hear appeals from them about the Deputy Governor's decisions
 * Failure to disclose to the Assembly, the Proprietors' directive concerning the financial interest of pecuniary bills which Hamilton would approve
 * Albany Congress attended by John Penn and Benjamin Franklin, who proposed a colonial union for defense against the French and Indians

Hamilton resigned due to his deteriorating relations with the Assembly in the attempt to follow the proprietors' instructions.

Hamilton's second turn as deputy governor followed the recall of William Denny. The French and Indian War was coming to its conclusion. However, the Province of Pennsylvania was then facing Pontiac's War. The Lenape and Shawnee tribes raided deep into frontier Pennsylvania, taking captives and killing settlers. An uprising led by a vigilante group, known as the Paxton Boys, erupted in Province of Pennsylvania. Hamilton was replaced by John Penn, William Penn's grandson.

President of Provincial Council
Hamilton assumed the role of chief executive from May 4 to October 16, 1771, when John Penn left Philadelphia to return to England when his father died.

The council was prohibited to approve any act of the Assembly so the role was strictly ceremonial or administrative until October when Richard Penn, Jr., (John's brother) was appointed as the province's deputy governor. Hamilton was acting governor of the Pennsylvania Province from July 19 to August 30, 1773.

Death
Hamilton died in New York City on August 14, 1783, at age 72 or 73.

Legacy
He was active in founding several institutions in Philadelphia, serving as president of the board of trustees of the College of Philadelphia, which is now the University of Pennsylvania, and as the head of the American Philosophical Society.

Since Hamilton did not have a surviving son, his nephew William Hamilton inherited his estate at Bush Hill. During the 1793 Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic, the Bush Hill estate was adapted for several months for use as a yellow fever hospital.

Hamilton Street, a main thoroughfare in the Center City section of Allentown, Pennsylvania, is named in Hamilton's honor. Hamilton's brother-in-law, William Allen, founded the city in 1762.

Erotic Art depicts sexual acts quintessential to human nature across the world, specifically in Japan, Greece, and Italy.

In Japan during the Edo period (1600-1869), Shunga, translated to "spring pictures," was a series of sexually explicit paintings created with ink or woodblock works that became printed onto paper scrolls as an introduction to sexual education. Shunga, embraced by individuals apart of the Shinto Religion, focused on liberating the innate sexual beings that are within all humans, including women and homosexual sexuality. Couples engaging in sexual acts were shown laughing and enjoying the sexual encounter with their partner; this focused on the positivity of sex. Around 1700, Shunga was met with opposition and banned in Japan, but the circulation of this prominent Erotic Art continued. Shunga could be found in local libraries and homes of many Japanese citizens.

Erotic Art in Italy took on many forms but was most famously encaptured by artist Guilio Romano for his famous I Modi sketches. Pope Julius II commissioned Raphael to decorate rooms in the Vatican, which exclusively housed the religious elite. His death left Romano responsible for completing his final installation in the Vatican housing quarters in the Sala. The Sala was a gathering place for the religious elite. Paintings in this room depicted Emperor Constantine in a manner that illustrated scenes of victorious spiritual conquests of Christianity over Paganism. During the time of finishing these works, Romano sketched sexually explicit scenes between mythological famous historical couples. These sketches were made to elicit the simplistic nature of sex between individuals. I Modi gave the public the power to gaze upon material which was banned by the clergy members of the Vatican. The sketches eventually landed into the hands of Marcantonio Raimondi, an engraver who was also classically taught by Raphael. Raimondi published and distributed these prints made by Romano. The drawings quickly gained popularity amongst non-elite people in society and were scattered around Italy's Vatican City. This taboo subject matter in Italy was ordered to be destroyed by Pope Clement. Marcantonio Raimondi was arrested for this reproduction and distribution of I Modi.

Martha Edelheit was a female artist known for her contributions to erotic Art as a rebellious stance against typical gender roles, which excluded women artists from participating in free sexual expression. This limited women to often be the subject of many famous Erotic Art pieces which catered to men. Edelheit was criticized for being a female artist who created erotic artwork during a time where men were main contributors in this art. Edelheit was a pioneer in the feminist art movement because she was a woman who created Erotic Art and also depicted herself in many of her works, which paved the way for women's equality in sexual expression. Edelheit confronted the common stereotype that this art was pornographic by offering an alternative view of oneself. Her works paved the way for women to openly express sexual desires. Painting nude male subjects were uncommon in the 1970s; her Art turned the tables and allowed for women to be at the forefront of this fem expression revolution that occurred in the 70s.

Edward Perry Warren adapted a love for Greek Art during college. An Erotic Art collector, specifically inclined to gather Greek Erotic Art pieces that often represented gay sexual relationships. Warren acquired the famous Warren Cup in 1911. The Warren Cup features scenes of anal sex between men. Many of Warren's eclectic pieces collected over the years are primarily featured in the Boston Museum of Fine Art.

The Great Lakes Myth Society
This was tagged for speedy deletion, but has enough going for it that I listed it here instead (mostly because I noticed I had done some formatting on it before, and since I hadn't tagged it then, I figured there had to be a reason).

Captain Spaulding (Rob Zombie character)

Captain Spaulding (born Johnny Lee Johns and also known as "Cutter") is a fictional character created by Rob Zombie. The character first appeared in Zombie's 2003 horror film House of 1000 Corpses, portrayed by Sid Haig. Haig reprised his role as Spaulding in the sequels The Devil's Rejects (2005) and 3 from Hell (2019). Haig also voiced Spaulding in the 2009 animated film The Haunted World of El Superbeasto. The character is depicted as a vulgar and murderous clown.

In House of 1000 Corpses, Spaulding is portrayed as the proprietor of a gas station and fried chicken eatery that also houses a roadside attraction known as Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen. In The Devil's Rejects, he is revealed to be the patriarch of the Firefly family. The character, and Haig himself, have been called icons of modern horror cinema.

Fictional character biography
Captain Spaulding has a lengthy criminal history, and earned the nickname "Cutter" for stabbing a man to death. Spaulding met Eve Wilson, also known as Mama Firefly, in 1947, and they had a daughter named Vera-Ellen (also known as Baby Firefly). Years later, Spaulding met Otis B. Driftwood and invited him to become a member of their family.

In House of 1000 Corpses, Spaulding is portrayed as the proprietor of a gas station in Texas that also sells fried chicken. The establishment also harbors a roadside haunted house attraction known as Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen. At the beginning of the film, the establishment is targeted by robbers, whom Spaulding kills. Later in the film, when a group of four people visit his establishment and learn of the local legend of Dr. Satan, Spaulding directs them in the path of the murderous Firefly family. Spaulding's ties to the Firefly clan are kept ambiguous throughout most of the film.

In The Devil's Rejects, Spaulding is revealed to be the patriarch of the Firefly family. In the film's opening sequence, Mama Firefly is taken into custody when the Firefly home is subjected to a search and destroy mission by Sheriff John Wydell and a number of state troopers, but Spaulding is elsewhere during the raid. In prison, Wydell stabs Mama Firefly to death as revenge for the murder of his brother George Wydell, whom she fatally shot in the previous film. Spaulding, Otis, and Baby are eventually captured by Wydell and brought to the Firefly house, where Wydell tortures them. Wydell sets the house on fire and leaves Otis and Spaulding to die, while he hunts Baby for sport outside. Tiny, another member of the Firefly clan, intervenes, killing Wydell and saving the trio. Spaulding, Otis, and Baby escape in a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado belonging to Spaulding's half-brother Charlie Altamont, and are shot by authorities while speeding towards a police barricade.

In 3 from Hell, Spaulding, Otis, and Baby are revealed to have just barely survived the shootout with the police, and are put on trial and imprisoned shortly after their recovery. A decrepit Spaulding is executed by lethal injection sometime later, leading to Otis and Baby attempting an escape.

Development
Spaulding was originally supposed to have a bigger role in 3 from Hell, but Sid Haig's real-life health issues stopped him from completing the role as it was written, forcing Zombie to greatly reduce his role.

Concept and characteristics
In the commentary for House of 1000 Corpses, director Rob Zombie describes Spaulding as a "lovable asshole", and ensured that the character's motivations and connection to the Firefly family would be ambiguous in the film. Spaulding is described in the script for House of 1000 Corpses as a "crusty-looking old man in a filthy clown suit and smeared make-up". Just as several characters from the series are named after characters from Marx Brothers films, Spaulding is named for Groucho Marx's character Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding from the 1930 film Animal Crackers.

Reception
Captain Spaulding has been referred to as a modern icon of horror cinema, and Haig himself has been called a "horror icon" for his portrayal of Spaulding.

In describing Spaulding for his review for The Devil's Rejects, film critic Roger Ebert wrote: "He is a man whose teeth are so bad, they're more frightening than his clown makeup. He plays such a thoroughly disgusting person, indeed, that I was driven to www.sidhaig.com to discover that in real life Sid looks, well, presentable [...] This was a relief to me, because anyone who really looked like Captain Spaulding would send shoppers screaming."

The Sirens and Ulysses

The Sirens and Ulysses is a large oil painting on canvas by the English artist William Etty, first exhibited in 1837. It depicts the scene from Homer's Odyssey in which Ulysses (Odysseus) resists the bewitching song of the sirens by having his ship's crew tie him up, while they are ordered to block their own ears to prevent themselves from hearing the song.

While traditionally the sirens had been depicted as human–animal chimeras, Etty portrayed them as naked young women, on an island strewn with corpses in varying states of decay. The painting divided opinion at the time of its first exhibition, with some critics greatly admiring it while others derided it as tasteless and unpleasant. Possibly owing to its unusually large size, 442.5 by, the work initially failed to sell, and was bought later that year at a bargain price by the Manchester merchant Daniel Grant. Grant died shortly afterwards, and his brother donated The Sirens and Ulysses to the Royal Manchester Institution.

The Sirens and Ulysses was painted using an experimental technique, which caused it to begin to deteriorate as soon as it was complete. It was shown in a major London exhibition of Etty's work in 1849 and at the 1857 Art Treasures Exhibition in Manchester, but was then considered in too poor a condition for continued public display and was placed in the gallery's archives. Restoration began on the work in 2003, and in 2010 the painting went on display in the Manchester Art Gallery, over 150 years after being consigned to storage.

Background
York-born William Etty (1787–1849) had originally been an apprentice printer in Hull, but on completing his apprenticeship at the age of 18 moved to London to become an artist. Strongly influenced by the works of Titian and Rubens, he became famous for painting nude figures in biblical, literary and mythological settings. While many of his peers greatly admired him and elected him a full Royal Academician in 1828, others condemned the content of his work as indecent.

Throughout his early career Etty was highly regarded by the wealthy lawyer Thomas Myers, who had been educated at Eton College and thus had a good knowledge of classical mythology. From 1832 onwards Myers regularly wrote to Etty to suggest potential subjects for paintings. Myers was convinced that there was a significant market for very large paintings, and encouraged Etty to make such works. In 1834, he suggested the theme of Ulysses ("Odysseus" in the original Greek) encountering the sirens, a scene from the Odyssey in which a ship's crew sails past the island home of the sirens. The sirens were famous for the beauty of their singing, which would lure sailors to their deaths. Ulysses wanted to hear their song, so had his crew lash him to the ship's mast under strict orders not to untie him, after which they blocked their ears until they were safely out of range of the island.

The topic of Ulysses encountering the sirens was well suited to Etty's taste; as he wrote at the time, "My aim in all my great pictures has been to paint some great moral on the heart ... the importance of resisting SENSUAL DELIGHTS". In his depiction of the scene, he probably worked from Alexander Pope's translation, "Their song is death, and makes destruction please. / Unblest the man whom music wins to stay / Nigh the curs'd shore, and listen to the lay ... In verdant meads they sport, and wide around / Lie human bones that whiten all the ground. / The ground polluted floats with human gore / And human carnage taints the dreadful shore."

Composition and reception
The Sirens and Ulysses shows three sirens singing on an island, surrounded by the rotting corpses of dead sailors. Ulysses is visible in the background tied to the mast of his ship, while dark clouds rise in the background.

Ulysses appears larger than his fellow sailors, while the sirens hold out their arms in traditional dramatic poses. The three sirens are very similar in appearance, and Etty's biographer Leonard Robinson believes it likely that Etty painted the same model in three different poses. Robinson considers their classical poses to be the result of Etty's lifelong attendance at the academy's Life Classes, where models were always in traditional poses, while former curator of York Art Gallery Richard Green considers their pose a tribute to the Nereids in Rubens's The Disembarkation at Marseilles, a work Etty is known to have admired and of which he made a copy in 1823.

The physical appearance of the sirens is not described in the Odyssey, and the traditional Greek representation of them was as bird-lion or bird-human chimeras. Etty rationalised the fully human appearance of his sirens by explaining that their forms became fully human once out of the sea, an approach followed by a number of later painters of the subject.

Etty put a great deal of effort into the painting, including visiting a mortuary to sketch the models for the dead and decaying bodies on the sirens' island. His use of real corpses became publicly known, causing complaints from some critics. Although he visited Brighton in 1836 to make studies of the sea in connection with the painting, Etty had little experience of landscape and seascape painting, and the painting of the sea and clouds is rudimentary in comparison with the rest of the work.

The painting was Etty's largest work to that time, measuring 442.5 by 297 cm. The work was completed in 1837 and exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts later that year, and hung in the Academy's new building at Trafalgar Square (now the National Gallery). The work, and Etty's methods in making it, divided opinion: The Gentleman's Magazine considered it "by far the finest [painting] that Mr. Etty has ever painted ... it is a historical work of the first class, and abounds with beauties of all kinds", while The Spectator described it as "a disgusting combination of voluptuousness and loathsome putridity—glowing in colour and wonderful in execution, but conceived in the worst possible taste".

Possibly because of its size, The Sirens and Ulysses failed to sell at the 1837 Summer Exhibition. In October 1837 wealthy Manchester cotton merchant Daniel Grant, an admirer of Etty who had already commissioned Venus and her Doves from him, met Etty at Heaton Park races and offered to buy The Sirens and Ulysses and Etty's smaller Samson Betrayed by Delilah unseen for a total of £200. Etty was hoping for £400 for the two paintings, but on being told by Grant that his firm had lost £100,000 that year offered a price of £300 for the pair. Grant counter-offered £250 (about £0 in today's terms), which Etty refused. On leaving at the end of the evening, Grant suddenly said, "Will you take the money?", startling Etty, who in his surprise agreed. Grant died shortly afterwards, leaving the painting to his brother William, who in turn gave it to the Royal Manchester Institution in 1839.

Etty considered the painting to be his best work, insisting that it form the centrepiece of his 1849 Royal Society of Arts solo exhibition. The Royal Manchester Institution was concerned that the painting would be damaged if moved, refusing to allow it to be used in the exhibition until Etty, and a number of influential friends, visited Manchester to beg them to release it. Etty died later that year, and his work enjoyed a brief boom in popularity. Interest in him declined over time, and by the end of the 19th century, the cost of all his paintings had fallen below their original prices. As it was rarely exhibited, The Sirens and Ulysses had little influence on later artists, although it is credited as an influence on Frederic Leighton's 1858 The Fisherman and the Syren. "Ulysses and the Sirens is one of those great efforts of my Art achieved in the vigour of my life, I can never make again."

Removal and restoration
Etty had used experimental techniques to make The Sirens and Ulysses, using a strong glue as a paint stabiliser which caused the paint to dry hard and brittle, and to flake off once dry, a problem made worse by the painting's large size causing it to flex whenever it was moved. From the moment it was complete it began to deteriorate. After it was exhibited at the 1857 Art Treasures Exhibition it was considered in too poor a condition for public display, and it was placed in long-term storage in the archives of the Royal Manchester Institution and its successor, the Manchester Art Gallery. In the mid-20th century there were a number of unsuccessful attempts to repair The Sirens and Ulysses, but an attempt to clean the painting unintentionally damaged the paint further.

In 2003, Manchester Art Gallery staff determined that if conservation work were not undertaken, the painting would soon be beyond repair. The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and AXA Art Insurance provided funding for the restoration. A replacement canvas to which the painting had been attached in the 1930s was removed. Following this, a mixture of isinglass adhesive and chalk was used to restore the surface of the painting, and the paint added during the earlier attempted restoration was removed. A new double layer of canvas was added to the back of the painting, and the three layers were glued together.

In 2006 the repaired painting was moved back from the conservation studios to the Manchester Art Gallery. The Gallery Nine section of the MAG was converted into a temporary studio, open to the public to watch the final retouching work until it was completed in 2010, and The Sirens and Ulysses currently hangs in Gallery Three.

Larkin v. Grendel's Den, Inc.

Larkin v. Grendel's Den, Inc., 459 U.S. 116 (1982), was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with the enforcement of liquor laws by a non-government entity. Massachusetts had established a law that allowed any church or school located within 500 ft of an establishment seeking a liquor license to object to that license. The Supreme Court, in an 8–1 decision, ruled that Massachusetts' law violated the Establishment Clause as it delegated powers normally reserved to the government to non-government entities and would allow decisions to be made along religious lines, effectively advancing religious purposes.

Background
Massachusetts' liquor laws are overseen by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC). Many of these laws are based on "blue laws", designed to prevent people from drinking on Sundays due to the state's Puritan heritage. After the end of Prohibition in the 1930s, the state began loosing liquid laws but still kept numerous blue laws on the books. One such law was Section 16C, first introduced in 1954, which prohibited any establishment within 500 ft of a church or school from having a liquor license. The absolute ban on liquor licenses was amended in 1968 and 1970, allowing intuitions near churches or schools to have a license, but only if no church or school within that distance filed a formal objection to the license with the ABCC.

Grendel's Den, a restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, opened in 1971 and became a popular spot for students and professors of nearby Harvard University. In 1977, the owners applied for a liquor license through the local Cambridge License Commission. Holy Cross Church, which shared a 10 ft-wide alley with the restaurant, filed an objection to the license, stating that there already too many establishments with liquor licenses in the area as part of their rationale. Pursuant to Section 16C, the Cambridge License Commission denied Grendel's Den the license due to the church's objection.

The owners appealed to the ABCC, addressing that numerous other establishments within the 500-ft range of Holy Cross Church had successfully received licenses. The ABCC upheld the Cambridge License Commission's decision. The owners then took their case to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, claiming that Section 16C violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and antitrust components of the Sherman Act. The District Court found in favor of Grendel's Den in 1980, ruling that Section 16C was unconstitutional and violated the Establishment Clause. The judge used a three-pronged test that the Supreme Court had previously established in Everson v. Board of Education (330 U.S. 1 (1947)) and later enumerated in Lemon v. Kurtzman (403 U.S. 602 (1971)). In the decision, the judge determined that Section 16C had the primary effect of advancing religion, with the objection power one that could be misused, such as if a church did not objected to establishments where the owners shared the same faith or had made a significant donation to the church.

The state appealed to the First Circuit Appellate Court, which initially the three-judge panel decided to reverse the District Court's ruling. The restaurant owners requested an en banc hearing at the First Circuit, and the full panel of judges reversed the three-panel decision, again ruling that Section 13C violated the Establishment Clause.

Supreme Court
The state petitioned to the Supreme Court, which the Court granted certiorari and heard during the 1982 term.

The Court gave its decision on December 13, 1982, upholding the en banc decision of the First Circuit that Section 16C was unconstitutional. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger wrote the majority opinion, joined by all but Justice William Rehnquist. Burger's opinion reviewed only the Establishment Clause considerations that had been at review at the First Circuit and applied the Lemon three-pronged test to determine if Section 16C was unconstitutional. Judge Rehnquist, in his dissent, agreed that Section 16C would be better implemented by an absolute ban on liquid licenses within a certain distance from the church, but disagreed with the remaining three-pronged analysis that the law violated the Establishment Clause, particularly that he did not believe the law was advancing any religious interest.
 * 1) Section 16C was considered to have a secular purpose, as it was in the state's interest to regulate liquor use, though Burger wrote that the state could implement this through other means such as absolute bans of liquor licenses near churches, or to allow churches to voice objections during a license hearing.
 * 2) Section 16C failed the second prong of the Lemon test in Burger's opinion as the law advanced religious interest, giving churches a standardless veto power on a function normally performed by the government, and had made no assurance that churches would object in a neutral manner.
 * 3) Section 16C also failed the third prong of the Lemon test because it created entanglement between church and state. Besides granting a veto power to the church, Burger stated that the law could also lead to "political fragmentation and divisiveness" along the lines of the church's faith.

Peter Frohmader

Peter Frohmader (9 May 1958 – 2 May 2022) was a German electronic composer, musician and visual artist. He was also known by the pseudonym Nekropolis, a name under which he released several early works. Taking cues from Carl Orff, Magma, Glenn Branca, and Black Sabbath, Frohmader was recognized for his nightmarish and gothic compositions and as an important figure on the European progressive electronic scene.

Biography
Peter Frohmader was born on 9 May 1958 in Munich, Germany, and began listening to electronic music such as Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel when he was twelve years old. He quickly began composing music of his own and started several bands such as Alpha Centauri, an avant-garde band; Electronic Delusion, a Tangerine Dream-inspired electronic band; and Kanaan, which was an electronic music outfit with jazz rock leanings.

In 1979 he formed a rock band, CIA, and began working as Nekropolis on more experimental projects. Some of his music was performed on industrial and domestic tools, as well as on self-made instruments and electronic media. His influence was noted by bands such as The Sisters of Mercy, Throbbing Gristle, and Deine Lakaien, and he became better known in Japan, the U.S. and Britain than in Germany. His music was "characterized by a fondness for the nightmarish and the fantastic".

He died on 2 May 2022, at the age of 63.

The Parisian Woman

The Parisian Woman is a 2013 play by Beau Willimon. It premiered at the South Coast Repertory in April 2013 and centers on Chloe, a socialite armed with charm and wit, coming to terms with politics, her past, her marriage and an uncertain future. The play opened on Broadway on November 30, 2017. The play is inspired by Henri Becque’s La Parisienne (fr).

Production history
Its premiere production was at the South Coast Repertory, Costa Mesa, California, from April 19 to May 5, 2013, with previews from April 14, directed by Pam MacKinnon.

The play opened on Broadway for a limited engagement at the Hudson Theatre starting November 30, 2017, following previews which began November 7. The play closed on March 11, 2018. The play, directed by Pam MacKinnon, starred Uma Thurman in her Broadway debut.

The Parisian Woman went through significant rewrites since its first production at South Coast Repertory. Willimon said: “When [the election] did happen—this cataclysmic shift in the country,” says the playwright, “I felt that if I didn’t address it, the play would instantly feel anachronistic. It would be disingenuous to the here and the now to not acknowledge the fact that we’re living in a very different landscape.”

Critical response
Marilyn Stasio, in her review for Variety wrote of Thurman that "the effort to play the naughty heroine in a drawing room comedy (which is how director Pam MacKinnon has misdirected her) is beyond her skill set....he [Willimon] fails to draw on any of the many issues bedeviling the president and his minions, missing his chance to turn this mannered trifle into a substantive political drama."

The Guardian reviewer wrote: "The play’s at its best when characters trade wisecracks about Beltway politics and make shrewd observations about what motivates its power-hungry practitioners; it’s at its worst when it reaches higher, for emotional beats that feel clunky and strained..." and noted Thurman's "electric presence".
