# Mozart (horse)

**Mozart** was an Irish champion Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was named European Champion Sprinter as a three-year-old in 2001, when his victories included two Group One races in England, the July Cup and the Nunthorpe Stakes. He was retired to stud but died as a four-year-old in May 2002 after siring one crop of foals.

## Background

Mozart was bred in Ireland by Fahd Salman's Newgate Stud. His sire Danehill was one of the most successful stallions of his era, producing the winners of more than a thousand races including one hundred and fiftty-six at Group One/Grade I level. Among the best of his offspring have been Dylan Thomas, Rock of Gibraltar George Washington, Duke of Marmalade and North Light. Mozart's dam, Victoria Cross was an unraced daughter of the highly successful broodmare Glowing Tribute, making her a half sister of the Kentucky Derby winner Sea Hero.

Mozart was sent as a yearling to the Tattersalls Houghton Sale in September 1999 where he was bought for 340,000gns by the bloodstock agent Dermot "Demi" O’Byrne on behalf of John Magnier and the Coolmore organisation. Mozart was sent into training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle and was ridden in eight of his ten races by Michael Kinane.

## Racing career

### 2000: two-year-old season

Mozart made his first appearance at the Curragh in July, when he started at odds of 2/9 for a seven furlong maiden race. Ridden by Seamus Heffernan he moved into the lead at half way and soon went clear, winning easily by eight lengths from Speirbhean, a filly who went on to win a Group Three race and became the dam of Teofilo. Mozart was then sent to England for Europe's most valuable two-year-old contest, the £400,000 Tattersalls Houghton Sales Stakes at Newmarket, a race restricted to two-year-olds sold at the previous year's Houghton sale. Mozart started the 11/10 favourite in a field of twenty-six and justified his position by taking the lead inside the final furlong and winning by a length from the previously unbeaten Norwegian-trained filly Pretty Girl. After the race his joint-owner Sue Magnier called him "a very smart horse" who would "definitely stay a mile" and the bookmakers offered him at odds of 20/1 for the following year's 2000 Guineas.

On his third and final start of the year Mozart returned to Newmarket for the Group One Dewhurst Stakes, for which he started 11/4 second favourite. The colt failed to settle and raced prominently to dispute the lead two furlongs out but weakened in the closing stages to finish fourth of the ten runners, beaten just under two lengths behind Tobougg.

### 2001: three-year-old season

Mozart disappointed on his first start of 2001, when he started 1/4 favourite for the 2000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown in April, but finished third after leading in the early stages. Mozart was reported to be working "exceptionally well" at home but a second successive odds-on defeat followed three weeks later. In the Group Three Tetrarch Stakes at the Curragh, he started at 2/5 and finished third to his stablemate Modigliani in a three way photo-finish. Mozart's reputation had fallen by the time of the running of the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the end of May and he started at odds of 20/1. The fact that Kinane chose to ride his stable companion Minardi suggested that Mozart was not expected to win and could be being used as a pacemaker. He was sent into the lead by Seamus Heffernan and opened up a clear lead before being caught inside the final furlong and beaten by another Ballydoyle colt, Black Minnaloushe, with Minardi third.

At Royal Ascot in June Mozart recorded his first Group race win in the Jersey Stakes. Kinane sent him into the lead from the start and he ran on strongly in the closing stages to hold off the sustained challenge of Aldebaran by a neck. After the race O'Brien praised the colt and said that "the plan has always been to go back to sprinting."

From this point on Mozart was campaigned over sprint distances and had his two most important successes, beginning with the July Cup at Newmarket. Before the race he narrowly missed being kicked in the head by another runner in the paddock and then almost ran away with Kinane when being ridden down to the start. Once the race began however, he was never in any danger as he led from the start before going clear inside the final furlong to win by three and a half lengths from the mare Cassandra Go The *Racing Post* called him a "flying machine" and compared his performance favourably with that of Stravinsky in 1999. The *Telegraph* described it as "one of the finest sprinting performances in the modern era" and reported that the colt was being "hailed as the new Dayjur."

A month later he moved down to the minimum distance of five furlongs (1000m) for the first time for the Nunthorpe Stakes at York. Mozart stumbled as the stalls opened causing his saddle to slip back over his hindquarters and making it impossible for Kinane to ride a normal race. Despite this handicap, Mozart was prominent throughout the race and moved into the lead two furlongs out. He ran on strongly in the closing stages to beat the reigning Champion Sprinter Nuclear Debate by two lengths. O'Brien called it an "amazing performance" and praised Kinane, saying that the slipped saddle must have made the experience "like riding a camel."

Mozart was off the course for more than two months, bypassing the usual sprinters' targets such as the Haydock Sprint Cup, before being sent to the United States for the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Belmont Park for which he was reportedly well-fancied. Racing on dirt for the first time, Mozart started slowly and was never in contention, finishing eleventh of the fourteen runners behind Squirtle Squirt.

## Assessment

As a two-year-old, Mozart was given a rating of 115 by the International Classification, making him the fourteenth best colt of his generation, eight pounds behind his stable companion Minardi. In 2001 his rating of 125 was the second highest for a European three-year-old colt and the highest for any European sprinter by a margin of six pounds.

In the 2001 Cartier Racing Awards he was named European Champion Sprinter.

## Stud career

Mozart was retired to stand as a stallion at his owners’ Coolmore Stud. On 11 May 2002 the colt fell ill, and "acute non-responsive colitis" was diagnosed. He received intensive veterinary treatment but his condition worsened and he died the following morning. His only crop of foals produced more than fifty runners who won over a hundred races. His most notable progeny were Amadeus Wolf, Dandy Man (Palace House Stakes) and Rebellion (Commonwealth Stakes, Stratham Stakes winner in USA and sire in Argentina). His stud fee at the time of his death was IR£30,000.

## History

The historical centre of the region was the castle of Plassenburg in the city of Kulmbach. In 1135 this castle was first mentioned. The rulers of the castle and the surrounding lands were the counts of Andechs (1135–1248, from 1135 to 1180 Dießen-Andechs, from 1180 to 1248 Andechs-Meranien) and the Thuringian counts of Orlamünde (1260–1340). After the death of the last count of Orlamünde the region fell to the Hohenzollern state.

In 1398 the Hohenzollern state was divided, and in the Franconian area the two states of Ansbach and Kulmbach were founded. When the Hohenzollern family was awarded the margravate of Brandenburg, these states were called Brandenburg-Ansbach and Brandenburg-Kulmbach, but not united with Brandenburg proper. In 1603 the castle of Plassenburg was abandoned, and the capital was moved to the city of Bayreuth. The importance of the city of Kulmbach declined hereafter, although the margraves (and sometimes the population of Kulmbach) often used to take shelter on the castle during the years of the Thirty Years' War.

The last margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (as Brandenburg-Kulmbach was called now) abdicated in 1792 in order to cede his property to his cousin, the king of Prussia. However, this was a short episode. In 1806 Kulmbach surrendered to Napoleon, who ordered the razing of Plassenburg castle. In 1810 the region fell to Bavaria and remained so to date.

The district of Kulmbach was founded soon after. The city of Kulmbach did not belong to the district until 1972, when city and district were merged.

According to a tour guide in Kulmbach, the castle Plassenburg was used by Adolf Hitler as the headquarters for his Highway Department. The highway "A9" was built under Nazi rule, connecting Berlin and Munich, and running past Kulmbach.

After the Second World War, the castle was used as a camp for German prisoners of war under the US military control. One of those stayed employed later as a keeper of natural and biological resources of the castle.

The city is also known for a brewery, producing the strongest beer (11.8% alcohol) available in Germany.

## Events

Kulmbach features a series of established periodics:

* Kulmbacher Volksfest, May
* Classic Car Festival 'Kulmbacher Oldtimer Treffen', June
* Old Town Festival 'Altstadtfest' taking place in vast areas of the historic city center, July
* Beer Festival 'Kulmbacher Beer Week', established 1939, largest of many beer festivals in northern Bavaria with approximately 120,000 visitors in 2018, spans nine days end of July/beginning of August
* Christmas market 'Weihnachtsmarkt', 3 days, Friday through the first Sunday in Advent
* 'Heiliger Frühschoppen' - morning get-together of former and current citizens at Christmas Eve in the historic town. Streets are closed for traffic and several thousand people take a chance to meet long-time-not-seen friends and find new ones.
* 'Mönchshof Triathlon', sports event established 1984, May/June

## Geography

The district, surrounding the ancient city of Kulmbach, is located on the southern edge of Franconian Forest and Fichtel Mountains. The two headstreams of the river Main, White Main and Red Main, meet in the centre of the district.

# Today Will Be Different

***Today Will Be Different*** is a comedy novel by Maria Semple. It was first published on October 4, 2016 by Little, Brown and Company. The novel follows a day in the life of Eleanor Flood. A television adaptation of the novel, also written by Semple and starring Julia Roberts, is being developed for HBO.

## Synopsis

The entire book takes place in a single day in Eleanor Flood's life. Eleanor is a beleaguered woman living in Seattle with her husband Joe, a renowned hand surgeon, and her son Timby, a third-grader at the Galer Street School that was first introduced in Maria Semple's preceding novel *Where'd You Go, Bernadette*. At the start of the book, Eleanor decides to improve herself by adopting the mantra that "today will be different" and setting attainable goals for the day. However, things do not go according to plan in Eleanor's day, and she finds herself having to deal with a missing husband, a sick son and a mystery lunch date.

## Reception

The novel was well received. The *Los Angeles Times*' Maris Kreizman described the novel as "truly smart and deep and funny — worthy of laughing out loud rather than merely saying LOL." Comparing *Today Will Be Different* with Semple's previous novel *Where'd You Go, Bernadette*, *The New York Times*' Janet Maslin noted that: "it cuts closer to the bone than *Bernadette* did, and its main character's problems feel more real. This time Ms. Semple delivers less satire and more soul."

*The Guardian*'s Suzi Feay commended the book's narrative voice and "memorable, monstrous" characters. Also writing for *The Guardian*, Lucy Scholes noted that "nobody depicts \[white-people problems\] better, with tongue-in-cheek humour and genuine warmth".

Isabella Biedenharn of *Entertainment Weekly* gave the novel a "B+" grade, concluding that: "*Today*'s tone veers wildly from satire to tragedy, but Semple is such a deft observer of human foibles that she glues it all together with wit and glitter — a master fabulist, just like Eleanor." Writing for *USA Today*, Steph Cha gave the book three stars out of four, noting that it is "unrelentingly entertaining" despite being "a bit messy".

title: Mozart 252

abstract: Mozart 252 is a 2008 album by Michael Nyman with the Michael Nyman Band, Hilary Summers, and Andrew Slater, celebrating the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birth. Although "Revisiting the Don," one of only two newly written works on the album, was commissioned and performed in 2006, the album's title is a joke on its lateness as an album, released 252 years after Mozart's birth. The album also includes "In Re Don Giovanni," Nyman's first composition for the band, which is based on the first fifteen bars of "Madamina, il catalogo è questo" from Don Giovanni, six selections from Peter Greenaway's film, Drowning by Numbers, in which he was instructed to base the music on the slow movement of Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante K. 364, and two duets and an aria from Nyman's television opera, Letters, Riddles and Writs, in this recording featuring bass Andrew Slater as Leopold Mozart and contralto Hilary Summers as Wolfgang. The album appears on emusic's list of The Best Albums of 2008.

***Mozart 252*** is a 2008 album by Michael Nyman (his 58th release) with the Michael Nyman Band, Hilary Summers, and Andrew Slater, celebrating the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birth. Although "Revisiting the Don," one of only two newly written works on the album, was commissioned and performed in 2006, the album's title is a joke on its lateness as an album, released 252 years after Mozart's birth ("it seemed more appropriate to miss the beat by two years"). The album also includes "In Re Don Giovanni," Nyman's first composition for the band, which is based on the first fifteen bars of "Madamina, il catalogo è questo" from *Don Giovanni*, six selections from Peter Greenaway's film, *Drowning by Numbers*, in which he was instructed to base the music on the slow movement of Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante K. 364, and two duets and an aria from Nyman's television opera, *Letters, Riddles and Writs*, in this recording featuring bass Andrew Slater as Leopold Mozart and contralto Hilary Summers as Wolfgang.

The album appears on emusic's list of The Best Albums of 2008.

## The music

Nyman's liner notes are relatively brief and refer the reader to Pwyll ap Siôn's *The Music of Michael Nyman: Texts, Contexts and Intertexts* for an extensive analysis of the relationship of Mozart's music to Nyman's. Nyman notes that "Not Knowing the Ropes" is the piece erroneously titled "Knowing the Ropes" on the original *Drowning by Numbers* soundtrack. The piece "Knowing the Ropes" is a sort of "list" in the way that "Trysting Fields" is a list, but he is unclear on the relationship of the two pieces, which are similar to one another. "Trysting Fields" is built out of every appoggiatura from the movement in order (each repeated three times), and ends with a bit of "rock and roll". "Knowing the Ropes" is based on a "wiggly" semiquaver in the piece.

"O my Dear Papa" (also referred to as "O My Dear Son") is translations of letters between Wolfgang and Leopold by Emily Anderson and "I Am an Unusual Thing" her translation of a riddle and a reported conversation with Constanze Mozart, while the text of "Profit and Loss", describing Mozart's earnings and expenses, is written by Jeremy Newson, co-librettist and director of the television opera. "O My Dear Son" is based on "O Osiris und Isis" from *Die Zauberflöte*, and "I Am an Unusual Thing" draws music from Mozart's "Haydn Quartets," while "Profit and Loss" overlays "In Re Don Giovanni" and then goes in a darker direction based on the same material.

title: Generic access profile

abstract: The Generic Access Profile (GAP) describes a set of mandatory requirements to allow any conforming DECT Fixed Part (base) to interoperate with any conforming DECT Portable Part (handset) to provide basic telephony services when attached to a 3.1 kHz telephone network. The objective of GAP is to ensure interoperation at the air interface and at the level of procedures to establish, maintain and release telephone calls. GAP also mandates procedures for registering Portable Parts to a Fixed Part. A GAP-compliant handset from one manufacturer should work, at the basic level of making calls, with a GAP-compliant base from another manufacturer, although it may be unable to access advanced features of the base station such as phone book synchronization or remote operation of an answering machine. Most consumer-level DECT phones and base stations support the GAP profile, even those that do not publicize the feature, and thus can be used together. However some manufacturers lock their systems to prevent interoperability, or supply bases that cannot register new handsets. The GAP does not describe how the Fixed Part is connected to the external telephone network.

The **Generic Access Profile** (**GAP**) (ETSI standard EN 300 444) describes a set of mandatory requirements to allow any conforming DECT Fixed Part (base) to interoperate with any conforming DECT Portable Part (handset) to provide basic telephony services when attached to a 3.1 kHz telephone network (as defined by EN 300 176-2).

The objective of GAP is to ensure interoperation at the air interface (i.e., the radio connection) and at the level of procedures to establish, maintain and release telephone calls (Call Control). GAP also mandates procedures for registering Portable Parts to a Fixed Part (Mobility Management). A GAP-compliant handset from one manufacturer should work, at the basic level of making calls, with a GAP-compliant base from another manufacturer, although it may be unable to access advanced features of the base station such as phone book synchronization or remote operation of an answering machine.

title: Noggerup, Western Australia

abstract: Noggerup is a rural town and locality of the Shire of Donnybrook–Balingup in the South West region of Western Australia. A large portion of the Greater Preston National Park is located within Noggerup. Noggerup was once a siding on the Donnybrook–Katanning railway, but the railway line ceased operation in 1982. The Noggerup siding, which opened in 1908 as the Preston Valley siding, was soon renamed and eventually closed in 1985. The origin of the townsite of Noggerup dates back to the arrival of the railway, when a request for a terminus at the Sexton & Drysdale's Mill was made in 1907. Noggerup's location was fixed and surveyed the following year and gazetted in 1909. Initially, the town was spelled Noggerupp, in accordance with spelling requirements for Aboriginal place names in the state. The second p at the end of the name was omitted in 1915, but the meaning of the name is not known. Noggerup and the Shire of Donnybrook–Balingup are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi people of the Noongar nation.

title: Gypsonictops

abstract: Gypsonictops is an extinct genus of leptictidan mammals of the family Gypsonictopidae, which was described in 1927 by George Gaylord Simpson. Species in this genus were small mammals and the first representatives of the order Leptictida, that appeared during the Upper Cretaceous. The genus is thought to have gone extinct before the Cenozoic began, but there are indications that it may have survived into the early Paleocene. Fossils have been found in the United States, Belgium, and Uzbekistan. Like Cimolestes or Daulestes, it is possible that they had some distant relationship with the ungulates. It is one of the few eutherians that existed in North America during the Campanian, a period in which the multituberculates and the metatherians were the dominant ones on the continent.

# Gypsonictops

***Gypsonictops*** is an extinct genus of leptictidan mammals of the family **Gypsonictopidae**, which was described in 1927 by George Gaylord Simpson. Species in this genus were small mammals and the first representatives of the order Leptictida, that appeared during the Upper Cretaceous.

The genus is thought to have gone extinct before the Cenozoic began, but there are indications that it may have survived into the early Paleocene. Fossils have been found in the United States, Belgium, and Uzbekistan.

Like *Cimolestes* or *Daulestes*, it is possible that they had some distant relationship with the ungulates. It is one of the few eutherians that existed in North America during the Campanian, a period in which the multituberculates and the metatherians were the dominant ones on the continent.

## Description

Like other prehistoric mammals of the Upper Cretaceous in North America, *Gypsonictops* had a particular dentition, with five premolars double-rooted in the lower jaw, while the vast majority of mammals only had four. On the other hand, the five premolars also were a very typical feature of the most primitive eutherians.

In the same way as the species of the genus *Leptictidium*, the P4 premolar was highly molarized, which caused confusion when analyzing a specimen of *G. petersoni* between P4 and molar M1. Eventually, P4 was found to be a paraconid-free premolar.

## Taxonomy

The genus *Gypsonictops* was first classified within the family Leptictidae, by Simpson, along with all Leptictida of North America. This classification was maintained until 1967, when Leigh Van Valen created the family Gypsonictopidae for the genus. In 1997, Malcolm C. McKenna and Susan K. Bell suggested the possibility that this family contained up to seven different genera, but documents published since then have shown a high degree of skepticism about the proposal. An additional genus within the family, *Sikuomys*, was named in 2023.

It is known that *Gypsonictops* were eutherians and that they could be placentals, as they show very typical characteristics of these animals, although they belong to the Leptictida group, which includes some of the few non-placental eutherians. Furthermore, the line between placental and non-placental eutherians is very thin, so the classification of *Gypsonictops* with precision is a very complicated task.

## Species

The genus *Gypsonictops* contains six species:

### *Gypsonictops clemensi*

Described by J. K. Rigby and D. L. Wolberg in 1987. It inhabited the planet during the Campanian and Maastrichtian periods. Its description was made from a molar M3 found in New Mexico. The name of the species is dedicated to the American paleontologist William A. Clemens.

### *Gypsonictops dormaalensis*

Described by G. E. Quinet in 1964. The name of the species refers to the Belgian population of Dormaal, a city in which there is an important fossil deposit in which fossils of *G. dormaalensis*.

### *Gypsonictops hypoconus*

Described by G. G. Simpson in 1927. It lived during the Campanian and Maastrichtian periods, and fossils have been found in the Hell Creek Formation and other sites in the United States. When Simpson created the genus *Gypsonictops* to define this species, placed it within the family Leptictidae, which was then part of the Insectivara order, now obsolete. The name of the species refers to its hypocone, the lower cusp of the molar teeth.

### *Gypsonictops illuminatus*

Described by J. A. Lillegraven in 1969. It lived during the Maastrichtian, and fossils have been found in the Hell Creek Formation, in the United States, as well as in various paleontological sites in Canada.

### *Gypsonictops lewisi*

Described by A. Sahni in 1972. It lived during the Campanian. Fossils of the species have been found in the Judith River Formation, Montana. *G. lewisi* is one of the species with more typical characteristics of the placental s of the genus, such as the fusion of a small metaconid with a long protoconid, or a small talonid with two cusps. On the other hand, the premolar es are not as molarized as in other species of the genus. They usually used to weigh over fifty gram s. The species name is dedicated to the Captain Meriwether Lewis, a celebrated American explorer.

### *Gypsonictops petersoni*

Described in 1929 by G. G. Simpson, who named the species "Euangelistes petersoni" and wrongly classified it within the infraclass Marsupialia. It is known with certainty that they inhabited the planet during the Maastrichtian, but it is possible that they could have survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction and lived until the Danian. The holotype of this species is in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and it is a lower jaw that had been badly damaged. Another specimen, preserved at Yale University, has been described by up to five different names. In case there was not enough controversy on the subject, in 1973, Clemens stated that *G. petersoni* was the same species as *G. hypoconus*.

# No Man's Woman (album)

***No Man's Woman*** or ***No Man's Woman: Tribute to Women in Voice*** is a tribute album to female musicians by various Australian male musicians performing cover versions to recognise the contributions that female artists have made to the international music industry. It was released in Australia on 20 October 2007 via Dew Process, and was introduced to radio on 17 September of the same year. *No Man's Woman* peaked in the top 50 of the ARIA Albums Chart.

## History

*No Man's Woman* was developed out of a desire by fans to hear Australian rock group You Am I perform a cover of a Patti Smith song. While that group did not contribute to the tribute album, the wish from music fans was the basis for its formulation, which was released on Australia's Dew Process record label. It was named for Sinéad O'Connor's track of that name from her June 2000 album, *Faith and Courage*; however that track is not covered for this tribute.

*No Man's Woman* was released in Australia on 20 October 2007 via Dew Process, and was introduced to radio on 17 September of the same year. It comprises two discs, with the second one having nine tracks as performed by the female artists who popularised each one. It peaked at No. 42 on the ARIA Albums Chart in its first week. According to *The ARIA Report*'s writer it "is chock-full of male Aussie artists doing covers of songs made famous by female artists."

The United States version, *No Man's Woman: Tribute to Women in Voice*, appeared on 22 October 2007. The A&R and concept is credited to Graham Ashton.

# Nadia Hashimi

**Nadia Hashimi** (born December 12, 1977) is a pediatrician, novelist, and a former Democratic congressional candidate for the United States House of Representatives for Maryland's 6th congressional district. Hashimi is the author of three international bestselling novels, *The Pearl that Broke Its Shell,* *When the Moon Is Low, and A House Without Windows.*

## Early life

Hashimi was born on December 12, 1977, in Queens, New York, to Afghan parents. Her parents immigrated to the United States in the early 70's. Her mother obtained a master's degree in civil engineering in Holland.

Her parents intended to return to Afghanistan after a few years, but the country became unsafe as a result of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. They remained in New York and became entrepreneurs.

Nadia Hashimi and her brother were raised in both New Jersey and upstate New York.

## Education and medical career

Hashimi attended Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, where she obtained degrees in Middle Eastern Studies and Biology. She went on to obtain her medical degree from SUNY Downstate. She completed her pediatric training at NYU/Bellevue hospitals in New York City.

In 2008, Hashimi began her medical career working in the emergency department at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

In 2011, she began managing her husband's neurosurgery practice in Maryland.

## Literary accomplishments

In 2014, Hashimi released her debut novel, *The Pearl that Broke Its Shell*. It is the story of two women in Afghanistan, living a century apart but tied by legacy. In the contemporary storyline, Rahima is made to dress as a *bacha posh*, a girl dressed as a boy in order to help provide for her family and escort her sisters to school. Shekiba's story lends a historical fiction bend to the novel, as she dresses as a man to guard King Habibullah's harem.

*The Pearl that Broke Its Shell* is an international bestseller and was a 2014 Goodreads finalist in the categories of Debut Author and Fiction. It has been translated into multiple languages, including: French, Italian, Norwegian, German, Turkish and Hungarian.

Hashimi's second novel, *When the Moon Is Low* was released in 2015 and is her second international bestseller. It was hailed by *O, the Oprah Magazine* as "A must-read saga about borders, barriers, and the resolve of one courageous mother fighting to cross over."

Hashimi's third novel, *A House Without Windows* was released in 2016 and is Hashimi's third international bestseller.

Hashimi has also published two children's books.

Hashimi is also known for her book *Sparks Like Stars*, which was released in 2021.

## Political career

On October 4, 2017, Maryland political reporter Ryan Miner of *A Miner Detail* blog had an off-the-record conversation with Hashimi and said that soon she may officially declare her candidacy for Maryland's 6th congressional district. During the evening of October 8, Hashimi posted her first campaign advertisement on Facebook, officially declaring her candidacy. She then hosted a Facebook Live forum to explain her policies in detail and take questions from viewers.

Hashimi has received the official endorsement of the Feminist Majority. The endorsement was announced at the 2018 Women's March in DC by Eleanor Smeal, president and co-founder of Feminist Majority Foundation. Smeal introduced Hashimi as the first Afghan-American woman and pediatrician to run for Congress. Addressing the crowd, Hashimi stated, "I attended this march last year. I was outraged. I stood with fellow physicians, ready to demand change, and this year I stand in front of this crowd as a candidate because I decided, like so many of you, that enough is enough, and if we are the majority then we should look like it." She then noted that she was the daughter of Afghan decedents, who are from a place that "could be classified as one of those 'bleep hole countries,'" a reference to Trump's "s—hole countries" comment, reportedly made to a group of senators discussing immigration legislation.

Hashimi's campaign has focused on bringing her medical expertise into Congress. If elected, she would be the first female Democratic physician to serve as a voting member of Congress. She was soundly defeated by David Trone (40%-10%)

## Personal life

In 2008, Hashimi and her husband moved to Potomac, Maryland. Her husband, a Maryland-based neurosurgeon, arrived in the United States as a refugee, a fact she shared when speaking against the Travel Ban 3.0 at a protest in front of the Supreme Court. The protest was also attended by Congresswoman Judy Chu and Congressman Dan Kildee.

Hashimi has stated that "The Afghan culture has always been part of my daily life". She has repeatedly joked about her traditional Afghan wedding, with the *Washington Post* reporting, "'It was a medium-size wedding by Afghan standards,' Hashimi said, recalling the reception with a mere 200 guests." She has described it as "the Afghan equivalent of *My Big Fat Greek Wedding.*"

Hashimi and her husband have four children and a parrot named Niles.

# Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association

The **Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association** is a trade group serving newspapers in Pennsylvania. The PNA seeks to "advance the business interests of Pennsylvania news media companies" and protect the "free and independent press." It represents Pennsylvania newsmedia interests in the legislature, provides public educational services, and acts as an information clearinghouse.

## Background

It was founded in 1925 as the **Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association (PNPA)** by John L. Stewart, the publisher of two newspapers in Washington, Pennsylvania.

The name was changed to **Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA)** in the late 1990s to deemphasize the association's relationship with publishing management. In November 2012, the name was changed to the present **Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association (NPA)**, "to better represent our membership and reflect the media companies that many of our members have already become." It is affiliated with the National Newspaper Association (NNA) and the Newspaper Association of America (NAA).

The organizational structure is threefold, with two other entities complementing the association itself. The *PNA Foundation*, an independent, non-profit corporation organized as a public foundation, provides PNA members with a wide range of low-cost and innovative training opportunities, typically offering as many as 40 seminars per year and training nearly 800 newspaper staffers in Harrisburg and around the state. *Mid-Atlantic Newspaper Services, Inc*. (MANSI), the PNA's wholly owned, for-profit subsidiary, sells classified and display advertising into PNA-member newspapers.

## Public advocacy

PNA is involved in promoting access to public records in Pennsylvania. The PNA helped advocate for recent changes to Pennsylvania's Freedom of information legislation.

## Awards

PNA presents the "Keystone Press Awards" every year during the Keystone Awards Banquet. PNA bestows annual "Newspaper of the Year" awards, among other honors.

When merited, PNA presents the "Bill Northrop Award for distinguished work supporting freedom of information." In 2002, PNA honored retired Publisher Bill Northrop of the Observer Publishing Co. in Washington, Pa. by naming this freedom of information award after him. The first recipients were state Representatives John Maher and Chuck McIlhinney.

The annual Lifetime Achievement Award honors an individual who has "outstanding service and accomplishment spanning a career in journalism".

title: Henry Muddiman

abstract: Henry Muddiman was an English journalist and publisher active after the restoration of the monarchy, in 1660. Muddiman was born in the Strand, London. He was educated in St Clement's Temple and at St John's College, Cambridge, after which he worked as a school teacher. He began producing two regular newsbooks – Parliamentary Intelligencer and Mercurius Publicus – in late 1659 on the proceedings of the newly reconvened Rump Parliament. This seems to have been at the suggestion of George Monck, who also received good publicity. On 16 April 1660 this role was secured when all other such journals were banned particularly those of Marchamont Needham the chief Cromwellian publisher. Muddiman received a monopoly of print along with arch-royalist John Birkenhead as a supervising editor. Muddiman lost the right to publish the journals three years later when it was handed to Roger L'Estrange. He would transform the subtle propaganda of the newsbooks into heavy-handed political polemics leading to the rights being returned to Muddiman in 1665. By that time, Muddiman had established a good business distributing hand-written details of parliamentary proceedings which he was not allowed to print. Once the rights were returned he began publishing The London Gazette which remains the oldest surviving English newspaper. With a short hiatus over the Exclusion crisis, when there were attempts to suppress all publications, he retained exclusive rights until the Glorious Revolution of 1688. At the change of regime he was considered too close to the previous incumbents and retired, dying in 1692.
