## Professional career

### Atlanta Braves

Minor was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the first round (seventh overall) in the 2009 Major League Baseball draft and represented the United States in the 2010 All-Star Futures Game.

Minor made his major-league debut on August 9, 2010, against the Houston Astros. He recorded his first strikeout against Chris Johnson. On the night, he went six innings giving up five hits and four runs (three earned) while walking one and striking out five batters; he got a no-decision. In his next start, on August 17, Minor went six innings, giving up five hits and two earned runs, and earned his first major league victory. In his third career start, against the Chicago Cubs, Minor went six innings, giving up three earned runs while striking out 12, picking up his second career victory. Those 12 strikeouts set an Atlanta Braves rookie strikeout record in a single game; surpassing Tommy Hanson's 11 strikeouts in 2009. On August 18, 2011, in a game against the San Francisco Giants, Minor pitched six scoreless innings, including facing the minimum number of batters over the last four innings. This victory was the first time in 17 major league starts that Minor did not give up a run.

On May 25, 2013, Minor hit his first career home run off Dillon Gee of the New York Mets in a 6–0 Braves win.

On August 22, 2014, Minor pitched 7+23 no-hit innings, before giving up an RBI single to the Reds' Billy Hamilton. The Braves eventually won the game in the 12th inning on Justin Upton's two-run home run. Minor finished the 2014 season with a 6–12 record and 4.77 ERA, pitching most of the year with a sore shoulder.

In 2015, Minor became the first Brave since John Rocker in 2001 to challenge the team in an arbitration hearing. He won, and was awarded $5.6 million. On March 3, 2015, Minor again began feeling tightness in his shoulder and was diagnosed with rotator cuff inflammation. As a result, he was placed on the disabled list on March 10. Minor attempted to start throwing programs in mid-March and early April, but felt discomfort both times. He was moved to the 60-day disabled list on May 2. Eleven days later, Minor underwent surgery for a torn labrum, and missed the rest of the season.

Minor became a free agent on December 2, 2015, when the Braves opted not to tender him a contract.

### Kansas City Royals

On February 19, 2016, Minor signed a two-year contract with the Kansas City Royals. It contained a base salary of $7.25 million, with a club option worth $10 million for the 2018 season. Minor started the 2016 season on the disabled list. The Royals planned for Minor to return in the second half of the season, but persistent fatigue and discomfort in his shoulder forced Minor to stay on the disabled list for the rest of the season.

Because of his troubles staying healthy, the Royals announced that Minor would pitch out of the bullpen in 2017. A move to relief brought tremendous results for Minor, who saw his average fastball velocity climb to nearly 95 miles per hour, compared to 91 miles per hour as a starter. Minor would emerge as one of the Royals best relievers, finishing with a 2.55 ERA and six saves, with 88 strikeouts in 7723 innings.

After the season was over Minor announced his intention to return to starting in 2018, despite his 2017 success as a reliever.

### Texas Rangers

On December 4, 2017, Minor signed with the Texas Rangers to a three-year, $28 million deal. In 2018, Minor went 12–8 with a 4.18 ERA and 110 strikeouts in 157 innings.

In 2019, after posting an MLB-leading 2.40 ERA in his first 17 starts, Minor was selected as an American League pitcher for the 2019 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. However, because he was scheduled to start the Sunday before the All-Star Game, he did not play. Minor finished the 2019 season with a record of 14–10, a 3.59 ERA, and 200 strikeouts, over 208+23 innings. Minor finished 8th in the 2019 AL Cy Young Award voting.

### Oakland Athletics

On August 31, 2020, Minor was traded to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Dustin Harris and Marcus Smith.

### Return to Kansas City

On December 1, 2020, Minor signed a two-year, $18 million contract to return to the Kansas City Royals, with a $13 million club option for the 2023 season and a $1 million buyout.

In 2021, Minor posted an 8–12 record with a 5.05 ERA and 149 strikeouts over 158+23 innings in 28 starts.

### Cincinnati Reds

On March 16, 2022, Minor was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for LHP Amir Garrett.

On November 8, 2022, the Reds declined Minor's mutual option for the 2023 season, and he became a free agent.

## Pitch repertoire

Minor leads with a four-seam fastball at 89–93 mph, a pitch he throws more than half the time. In relatively equal amounts he throws a slider (83–86), a circle change (82–84), and a knuckle curve (77–80). Left-handed hitters rarely see the changeup, especially with two strikes. The curve has a whiff rate of 39% over Minor's career. He has produced one of the league's lowest ground ball/fly ball ratios since he debuted.

# Mike Minter

**Michael Christopher Minter** (born January 15, 1974) is an American football coach and former player. He is the former head football coach at Campbell University, a position he held for eleven seasons. Minter played professionally as a safety in the National Football League (NFL) for ten seasons, from 1997 to 2006, with the Carolina Panthers. He played college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and was selected by the Panthers in the second round of the 1997 NFL draft.

## Early life and college

Minter attended Lawton High School in Lawton, Oklahoma where he started as running back and free safety. As a running back, he led the state with 1,589 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns on 187 carries as a senior. Minter also averaged 21 points per game in basketball. Minter then attended the University of Nebraska, where he was a member of both national championship teams of 1994 and 1995. He redshirted as a true freshman, and played backup safety his freshman year despite recording 21 tackles, two forced fumbles, and one sack. Sophomore year, Minter started the first two games of the season at free safety before tearing his left ACL, which took him out for the rest of the season. He played a key role as the starting strong safety for the 1995 national championship winning team, the first to win consensus back-to-back national championships in 40 years. He recorded 53 tackles, two interceptions, and deflected six passes. This earned him All-Big Eight second-team recognition. In his senior season, Minter started and played the first ten games at safety before moving to linebacker for the final two. He amassed 51 tackles, five interceptions, six deflected passes, and five quarterback rushes, which earned him All-Big 12 first-team honors.

Minter was selected 56th overall by the Carolina Panthers in the second round of the 1997 NFL draft. He became the starter in the team's sixth game of his rookie season, and remained there until his retirement. In his rookie year he posted 11 starts and finished second among defensive backs with 83 tackles, and also recorded 3.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles, 10 passes defensed and four quarterback hurries. In 1998, Minter missed ten games because of a staph infection that developed as a complication of surgery on his left knee. Following that season, Minter started every game of each year, except in 2001, when he missed the first two games because of an injury. In Carolina's appearance in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots in 2003, Minter ranked second on defense and equaled a career-high of 18 tackles. Despite breaking his left foot in the third quarter, he stayed in the rest of the game.

In his 10 years in the NFL, all with the Panthers, Minter made 790 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, 8 fumble recoveries, 15 interceptions, a franchise-record 421 return yards, and 4 defensive touchdowns, including a franchise-record-tying 2 in 2003.

On March 27, 2007, the NFL Network reported that the 2007 season would be Minter's last. ESPN.com reported that Minter retired after 10 seasons.

On August 7, 2007, Minter announced his retirement, effective immediately (as reported in *The Charlotte Observer*). His decision to retire early was attributed to continuing problems with his knees. Minter retired with team records for game starts (141) and consecutive starts (94), as well as for fumble recoveries and interceptions resulting in touchdowns.

## After the NFL

Minter declared in 2009 that he was considering a run for the United States House of Representatives in 2010 as a Republican against incumbent Larry Kissell; however, he decided against running.

Minter had shown interest in being the first head coach of the Charlotte 49ers football team, which began play in 2013. The position, however, went to Brad Lambert, who previously served as an assistant coach at Oklahoma, Marshall, and Georgia. After spending one season as an assistant coach at Johnson C. Smith University in 2011, Minter was hired to serve as the special teams coach at Liberty University in January 2012. On November 26, 2012, Minter became the head football coach at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina.

Minter also coached three seasons at First Assembly Christian School in Concord, North Carolina, where he won two state championships.

# Mike Missanelli

**Mike Missanelli** is an American sports radio personality, who most recently served as the afternoon host for ESPN affiliate, 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia. He previously served as a sports journalist for *The Philadelphia Inquirer* and a sports radio personality for 610 WIP.

## Early life

Missanelli was born and raised in Bristol, Pennsylvania. He attended Pennsylvania State University where he played college baseball as a second baseman for the Penn State Nittany Lions. He graduated from Penn State in 1977 and in 1986 graduated from Widener University Delaware Law School.

## Career

### WIP

Missanelli started his career working as a writer for *The Philadelphia Inquirer*. He eventually moved over to radio working on-air at 610 WIP. During his tenure at WIP, Missanelli was engaged in controversy after criticizing Philadelphia Eagles kicker David Akers during an interview. Missanelli called Akers a "girl" and criticized him for not being "a real athlete" and referred to him as "just a kicker". He was fired from 610 WIP in 2006 after an altercation with an on-site producer in which it was alleged that he hit the producer. Missanelli then began a show with comedian Joe Conklin on 93.3 WMMR.

### 97.5 The Fanatic

In January 2010, he signed a multi-year deal at ESPN affiliate, 97.5 The Fanatic, to host their midday show.

In 2016, it was revealed that a longtime caller by the name "Dwayne from Swedesboro" was actually a character created by his producer. Missanelli apologized for having a fake caller and for the racial stereotypes of the character, but he denied having knowledge that the caller was fake.

Starting in 2018, the show began being simulcasted on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

In May 2020, while on the air, Missanelli got into a heated debate with producer Tyrone Johnson and sports update anchor Natalie Egenolf, about an incident in Central Park where a white woman called the police on a black man, who was birdwatching. Right before cutting to commercial, Missanelli could be seen throwing his headset in anger. When the show came back onto television, Missanelli and Johnson could be seen yelling at one another and Missanelli appeared to be cursing at Johnson.

In January 2022, Missanelli gave an interview where he said he has no plans to retire. On May 31, 2022, Missanelli announced on air that it would be his last show. Missanelli's contract was set to expire and 97.5 The Fanatic opted to go in a different direction.

### The Mike Missanelli Podcast

In September 2022, Missanelli announced that he had joined the Chicago-based gaming company Rush Street Interactive to represent its brand Bet Rivers Network. Missanelli has a biweekly podcast on Philadelphia sports that is distributed via multiple outlets.

### TV work

In addition to his work on the radio, Missanelli joined PHL 17 in 2000 where he worked as sports director and anchor. He left the station in 2003 when his contract expired.

Missanelli was fired in 2017 from a weekly gig he had on 6 ABC after he made he said it was "unnatural" for a female broadcaster to call an NFL game.

Starting in 2022, Missanelli began serving as a panelist on the Jakib Sports Pond Lehocky Postgame Show that is broadcast live from the Ocean Casino Resort and show on 6ABC.

### Personality

Missanelli has repeatedly battled the negative perception that exists surrounding Philadelphia sports. Missanelli has written, "Let me assure that when I tear into a guest, like Michael Wilbon or a Skip Bayless or a Keith Law, it’s for a good reason that has absolutely nothing to do with me personally and everything to do with having the backs of the people, who have had to tread the filthy water of Philly fan perception, fostered by lazy national media nitwits, way too long."

## Other ventures

Missanelli has worked as a professor at Saint Joseph's University.

In June 2021, Missanelli launched his first off-air business entity, MikeMiss Ventures, that focuses on his interests outside of sports radio. Missanelli also launched "MikeMiss: The EveryDay Cook" show, based on his longtime passion for food and cooking and started "Behind the Mic", in which he evaluates aspiring broadcasters reels and provides feedback in a one-on-one call session and offers "MeetMike", a virtual meet and greet. In 2022, he released a children's book called "Shima the Shiba", which he details the human-like behavior of his Shiba Inu dog and how the dog can lay down valuable lessons in life for young children.

In September 2023, Missanelli launched a weekly sports video blog called "Mike Speaks". Released every Friday on YouTube, Missanelli wraps up the week with insights and analysis of sports and life. Segments include: SOUND OFF (Listeners e-mail their thoughts of the week with Missanelli responding); QUIRKY STORY OF THE WEEK (Missanelli riffs off something unusual that happened during the week); WHAT'S BUGGIN MIKE (Missanelli talks about something that really bugs him); LOCAL SPORTS SPOTLIGHT (Missanelli scans the region for a local sports standout story of the week - viewers also send in nominations). Missanelli also offers one-on-one video chats with fans called, *Take 5 with Mike*. Viewers will be able to speak with Mike about selected subjects including sports, broadcasting, wine - among other subjects.

# Mike Minor (actor)

**Michael Fedderson** (December 7, 1940 – January 28, 2016), known as **Mike Minor**, was an American actor best known for his role as Steve Elliott on *Petticoat Junction* (1966–1970).

## Early life

Minor was born on December 7, 1940, in San Francisco to newspaper advertising man Don Fedderson, who would later become a leading television producer, and Helen Macie "Tido" Minor.

He began voice lessons in 1953 at the age of 13. His first singing job was at Ye Little Club in Beverly Hills, where he was engaged for two weeks and held over for ten. He attended University High School in Los Angeles and Brown Military Academy in San Diego. After that he appeared at Bimbo's 365 Club in San Francisco, the Rat Fink Room in New York City, the Elegante in Brooklyn, Izzy's Supper Club in Vancouver and the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

## Career

### Television

In 1961, Minor played the character Ray in an episode of *My Three Sons*, a show produced by his father. Before he played Steve Elliott on *Petticoat Junction* in seasons four through seven (1966–70), two years earlier, Mike Minor played as Dan Plout, the son of Kate rival Selma Plout who Kate thought older daughter Billie Jo was going to marry in 11 episode of the second season (Mother Of The Bride, December 15, 1964). Two years later, in the second show of season four, Elliott, a pilot, crashed his airplane in Hooterville, then recovered and eventually married the character Betty Jo Bradley, though two seasons earlier, he portrayed the character of Dan Plout, and married a friend of Billie Jo’s in an episode titled “Mother of the Bride” which aired on December 15, 1964. Seasons 6 and 7 of the series focused on the newlywed couple of Betty Jo and Steve, and their newborn daughter Kathy Jo Elliott. Many sources erroneously reported that Minor sang the series' title song; in fact, it was sung by Curt Massey, the series' music composer, who co-wrote the song with show creator and producer Paul Henning.

Among Minor's other television credits were *The Donald O'Connor Show* (1968 version), *The Beverly Hillbillies*, *CHiPs*, *Vega$*, and *L.A. Law*.

In the 1970s, Minor made brief appearances on daytime shows *The Edge of Night* and *As the World Turns*. In the 1980s, he appeared as Brandon Kingsley on *All My Children* (1980–1982) and as Dr. Royal Dunning on *Another World* (1983–1984).

### Stage

In 1968, Minor made his stage debut, playing the romantic lead in *The Impossible Years* with Ozzie and Harriet Nelson.

### Music

Minor recorded two albums, including *This Is Mike Minor* (1966), and numerous singles, including the successful "Silver Dollar" and "One Day at a Time".

Minor sang the theme song ("Primrose Lane") on season one of the Henry Fonda television series *The Smith Family*.

## Personal life

title: Georgia–Florida League

abstract: The Georgia–Florida League was a minor baseball league that existed from 1935 through 1958 and in 1962–1963. It was one of many Class D circuits that played in the Southeastern United States during the postwar period—a group that included the Georgia State League, Georgia–Alabama League, Florida State League, and the Alabama State League. The GFL's longest-serving clubs represented Moultrie, Thomasville and Albany, all in Georgia. While it managed to survive the downturn in minor league baseball attendance through 1958 and experienced only a handful of in-season franchise shifts, its member clubs frequently switched affiliations and identities. In 1963, the minor leagues reorganized and the Georgia–Florida League was designated Class A. But there were only four teams in the '63 GFL, and its champion, the Thomasville Tigers, a Detroit affiliate, attracted only 7,234 fans over the entire course of a home schedule of over 60 games—an average of about 120 fans per game. Attendance woes such as that sealed the league's fate; it folded that autumn and has not since been revived.

title: Georgia–Hong Kong relations

abstract:
Georgia–Hong Kong relations are bilateral relations between Georgia and Hong Kong. Georgia and Hong Kong bilateral relations could be traced back to 1991 when Georgia became independent from the Soviet Union and established diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom. Hong Kong, by then a dependent territory of the United Kingdom, followed the British in diplomacy and immediately recognized the independence of Georgia as well as established relations with the nation. The friendly relations have continued even after the United Kingdom withdrew from Hong Kong in 1997. Free Trade Agreements were negotiated between the two on May 9, 2016. The agreements with Georgia cover, among others, several key elements, including (a) elimination or reduction of tariffs, (b) liberalisation of non-tariff barriers, (c) flexible disciplines on rules of origin which would facilitate bilateral trade, (d) customs facilitation procedures, (e) liberalisation as well as promotion and protection of investment;
(f) liberalisation of trade in services, and (g) the legal and institutional arrangement and dispute settlement mechanism for the FTA. The Government spokesman of Hong Kong suggested that Georgia was an emerging market and that the Free Trade Agreements will help expand Hong Kong's Free Trade Agreements network into the respective regions including Eurasia. Both nations coexist in several international organizations. The relations between the two focus on economic, social and cultural aspects because Hong Kong is restricted by Hong Kong Basic Law from concluding military bilateral agreements with foreign countries.

# Tuổi thơ dữ dội

***Tuổi thơ dữ dội*** is a Vietnamese war novel written by Phùng Quán from 1968 to 1986 and published in 1988. The book takes place in Thừa Thiên - Huế Province during the First Indochina War. It follows the tales of young teenagers who volunteered for the Viet Minh, operating as recons and scouts.

The novel is a major success in Vietnam, receiving many positive reviews. In 1990 it was adapted into a film.

## Plot

The story is set during the first years of the First Indochina War. Mừng, a 12-year-old boy, illegally enters the war-torn city of Huế and sneaks into the then-Trần Cao Vân Regiment consisting of 30 boys around the same age as him, training to be spies and scouts. His purpose was to support the resistance, thus curing his mom, whom he deliberately ran away from in order to join the combat, from her terminal asthma.

After being accepted in the military, Mừng soon finds himself familiarized with fellow soldiers, notably Quỳnh, Lượm, Tư, Kim, Bồng. They take part in a series of battles in Huế, crippling French lines. Despite suffering casualties, the boys don't appear to be affected by PTSD. In fact, they seem to embrace the war. Mừng is later offered a trip to visit his mom on horseback. However, he didn't have the bravery to meet her, leaving the job to his comrade, who also sends her the herbs that Mừng gathered at the camp to improve her condition.

French reinforcements pour into Huế, forcing the Việt Minh to withdraw and set up a base in the mountainous region of Hoà Mỹ (now in Phong Điền).

A team consisting of Kim, Lượm, Tư and leader Đồng re-enters Huế to distribute revolutionary propaganda and newspapers to Huế citizens. Hence, French forces had to strengthen their positions in the city by putting it under martial law. The mission, nonetheless, carried on successfully until Kim encounters Trì, a former Viet Minh and close friend who betrayed the revolution and joined the French forces. Trì captures Kim and has him tortured, the latter succumbed to pain and reveals the entire mission to the enemy. Thus, Đồng was killed, Lượm was captured. Tư managed to run back to the base.

Lượm was imprisoned alongside Thúi, an innocent orphan around the same age as him who was mistaken for Tư. He attempted to escape prison twice, but failed, causing him to be jailed in Thừa Phủ - an infamous prison in Huế. Here, he befriends fellow guerillas and captured fighters and flung into conflict with a gang of pickpockets and thieves, led by the infamous Lép. All hopes of fleeing seem to be fading for Lượm until he is selected to work in a French post office in Huế, thanks to his relatively good French. He plans to flee by replacing Thúi with a sympathetic worker. In addition, he cures Lép from cholera and makes friends with him. In return, Lép gets rid of Lượm's dangerous co-worker Tụng, (who had been trying to do the same to Lượm) and replaces him. Together, at noon break, they drug the guard, steal an M1911 and an SMG, kill Trì (who spotted them en route) and plan to return to the base. Afterwards, their fates remain unknown.

Meanwhile, the resistance base in Phong Điền is still very busy. Mừng, despite being quite illiterate, is very good at maps and directions and provided a good position for the army that can see the entire Hòa Mỹ-on a very high tree. He takes care of Quỳnh, who still needs medical attention from his infected wound. The latter appears to be a very good composer. Other members of the squad, such as Bồng, also scout other parts of Huế, raiding French strongholds and camps.

Quỳnh, whose father is, ironically, a very high-ranking official of Annam, is offered the chance to return home for a better life (Quỳnh was fascinated by revolutionary songs, much to his father's anger, thus he joined the Viet Minh). Despite a very promising and lucrative deal, Quỳnh pledged his loyalty to the Viet Minh. At the exact moment that he does so, which some of his relatives are present, he suffered a stroke from his wounds and dies. He was given a very large funeral.

Kim returns to the base. He betrayed the Viet Minh and now returns as a mole, using Mừng's naïve nature to cover up his actions of espionage. But at the end, Mừng learned of Kim's activities and fights him in the jungle, while Kim was deserting. However, Kim overpowers Mừng, knocks him out and brings him to the enemy.

Mừng was able to re-enter Hòa Mỹ, but is captured immediately as he has been wanted for treason. In spite of solid evidence that he was indeed abducted by Kim, his cases are denied and he is jailed.

French forces gather outside of Hòa Mỹ and besiege the base. After relentless fighting, the entire army had to withdraw southwards, leaving only a few men behind to hold off the enemy. Viet Minh forces intend to detonate a large land mine that could wipe out a large amount of French infantry and vehicles as they enter a pre-planned area. The boy scouts are ordered to watch the fight from the position that Mừng provided to give the signal.

Mừng meets his mother in the base's makeshift hospital after she had volunteered to supply the army with rations and been shot by the French. She had searched for Mừng around the province, only to find out in the end that her son is rumored to be an enemy spy. About to succumb to bleeding and wounds, she confesses to Mừng everything that she had hidden from him: that they are actually from Quảng Trị, Mừng was actually born out of wedlock, and his biological father had died before he was born – the abusive, treacherous man that he calls father is just a bully to his mom. Just as she finished, she passes away, and the hospital is bombed.

A devastated Mừng is freed from his escort as the latter took cover when a bomb struck nearby. Suddenly knowing what to do, Mừng ignores his feelings and rushes to the watchtower. The entire crew sacrificed in a bombing. Hearing the noises from the radio above, Mừng climbs up the tree and gives the decisive signal that ignited the Vietnamese land mine, destroying large quantities of French troops. In the chaos, Mừng is suddenly sniped and critically wounded. As he was dying, he pleaded his commander to “stop suspecting” him, before finally collapsing.

In the end, the French had to abandon their positions in Hòa Mỹ. The Viet Minh also withdraw this base and head for Dương Hòa (now in Hương Thủy). Mừng is buried next to his mother on a mountain, which is named after them.

## Reception, adaption

In Vietnam, the book received mostly positive reviews and is regarded as one of the best military fictions of the country, comparable to *The Sorrows of War.* Despite this, there has not been any foreign translations of it.

It received the Vietnamese Children's Literature Prize from the Vietnamese Writers' Association in 1990, the book was adapted into a film in the same year.

The Georgia State University Library has two primary locations, Library North and Library South. In addition to hundreds of thousands of pieces of print media, the library also has online databases for electronic articles, as well as an electronic catalog for looking up media within the library’s many floors. The media found in the library includes novels, journals, newspapers, government documents, archives, DVDs, CDs, video tapes, audio cassette tapes, and periodicals. The University Library is located in the middle of Georgia State's main campus near Gilmer St. and Courtland St.

## Collections

The library features over 1.5 million volumes which consist of 28,000 electronic journals, 2,800 periodicals over 820,000 government documents along with general texts. The Georgia State University Library includes 400 computer stations, 55 group study rooms, a quiet study room, and Saxbys Coffee Shop. The library is free and open to all Georgia State University Students, and costs $50 a year for the general public.

The library also allows access to the GALILEO network which connects students to a much larger network of journals, periodicals, magazines, etc. through a system of online sources.

## History

The Georgia State University Library was established in 1948 as a branch of the University of Georgia Library. In 1951, the library purchased over 2,000 volumes from James Walter Mason. The original library staff only had three trained employees. After seven years of expansion, the library found a home on the second floor of Sparks Hall in 1955. The Sparks Hall facility contained a reading area and over 150,000 books. In comparison, the modern facility has its own building and is made up of multiple floors and has more than ten times as much media as the Sparks Hall location had.

The present Assembly Hall (registration) area on the second floor of Sparks Hall became the library's home in 1955. The library traces its origins to a number of books that Dr. George Sparks donated from his personal collection to the Georgia Tech Evening School of Commerce in downtown Atlanta. Additional donations followed and included the commerce library of Professor Wayne S. Kell, and a collection of city reports owned by former mayor James S. Key. The library soon required a building of its own to house its burgeoning collections. The first phase of construction resulted in a two-story building, which was completed in 1966. Three additional floors were added to the new library building during the second phase of construction in 1968. The building was completed in 1969, and the surrounding plaza was eventually landscaped.

## Special Collections and Archives

The Georgia State University Library also contains the Special Collections and Archives Department which collects and preserves rare historical materials in designated special subject areas. These are open to view by students and the public but cannot be checked out. Unique records and artifacts in the trust of the Special Collections Department & Archives, Georgia State University Library, may be loaned for the purpose of exhibits to educational and cultural institutions.

## Carl and Gretchen Patton Children's Collection

Carl Patton, once the president of Georgia State, and his wife Gretchen donated a large collection of children's books to the library's existing children's section on the fourth floor of library north in 2003. The collection consists of about 13,000 titles. "The Pattons’ gift represented an initial step toward raising $20 million to transform the main library into a 21st-century learning command central — a place where students routinely gather to conduct research, work on group projects, receive tutoring, study and socialize."

# Mile in These Shoes

**"Mile in These Shoes"** is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her sixth studio album *Brave* (2007).

## Background and media usage

Following the release of her first Spanish-language album *Como Ama una Mujer* (2007), Lopez began working on her sixth studio album, which she confirmed would return her to the pop, R&B and hip-hop music of her previous English studio album *Rebirth* (2005); promising fans "dance-able music". The album was later announced to be *Brave*. Of the concept behind the album, Lopez stated: "When I was making the music and listening to it, I realized I am looking at my own experiences, and to me that is a very brave thing to do, to put that out there. This is what I've been about, not just in love and relationships, but also in life. Not being afraid, just going for it". "Mile in These Shoes", one of the songs on the album, was used for promotion for the popular American ABC television series *Desperate Housewives*.

## Composition

"Mile in These Shoes" is sung by Lopez through a nasal vocal tone. The song's lyricism refers to Lopez's her hardships as a celebrity; she sings lines such as "Honey, these pumps are too big to fill" and "My strut's so fierce" over a syncopated electronic melody. It has been noted by *The New York Post* to be an autobiographical song. PopMatters noted the track to autobiographical to be "rock-etched".

## Chart performance

Despite never being issued as an official single, "Mile in These Shoes" experienced strong digital downloads in Finland, resulting in a debut on the Finnish Singles Chart at number 20 for the week beginning April 13, 2008. The following week, the song peaked at number 16, before falling out of the chart the next week. In addition, "Mile in These Shoes" spent over four weeks on the Official Finnish Download List, where it peaked at number 14. In fact, the song performed better in Finland than *Brave*'s lead single, "Do It Well".

## Critical response

Joey Guerra of *The Houston Chronicle* praised the song and stated that Lopez "keeps the eye-rolling at bay with her slinky delivery of the tongue-in-cheeky lyrics", noting the track to be a "requisite poor-me, diva declaration". Dan Aquilante of the *New York Post* also positively reviewed the song, stating that it is one of the "winner" tracks on *Brave*, with lyrics that project Lopez's "tough broad" attitude. Mike Joseph of the website PopMatters, however, on the other hand gave the song negative feedback, labeling it "embarrassing".

# Mike Stilkey

**Michael James Stilkey Jr.** (born October 15, 1975) is an American artist known for his book sculpture paintings.

## Early life

Mike Stilkey was born in Tarzana, California, and spent his childhood moving from city to city primarily in the Los Angeles area. From age 8 to 14, Stilkey attended a different school each year. Most of his childhood was spent in Malibu Lake, a small town Stilkey describes as a "hippy party community". The son of addict parents, Stilkey found himself at a very early age immersed in a world of drug culture, parties and a life without discipline. "I was allowed to do anything I wanted. There were no rules."

In his teenage years, Stilkey picked up skateboarding. He described skateboarding as a retreat away from his dysfunctional family. Stilkey claims his artwork was partly inspired by the spirit of skateboarding which taught him how to take a different perspective on life and living. "When people are looking ahead, I'm looking at the details of the curb…looking at different things." Stilkey's dream of becoming a professional skateboarder was crushed at age 20 after a series of injuries.

With his injury sidelining him from skateboarding, Stilkey turned to drawing and painting. "My family never talked about feelings. I was not allowed to express myself as a kid. Skateboarding was where I let out my emotions, but since I couldn't skate anymore, I picked up a pencil and expressed what was inside…the good, the bad and the unknown. This was the only way I could let it out." Stilkey has described going into a fantasy world while creating art: "I was doing drugs, I had addicts for parents and a messed up family. Art saved my life".

## Career

Stilkey's first encounter with art came at age 18 with mutual friends that were a part of the AWR and MSK Graffiti crews in Los Angeles. He did not produce graffiti but was influenced by the culture and enjoyed the rebellious spirit of their work.

After painting for a few years, working odd jobs, and dealing with a recent suicide attempt by his father, the 24-year-old Stilkey fell into a major depression and had what he called a "mental breakdown". He donated his car, quit his job and promised himself never to work for anyone ever again. "Why would I struggle doing something I hated. I'd rather struggle doing something I love." Within a week, Stilkey met Markus Brandley, the owner of Artpiece gallery in Los Angeles. Brandley was inspired by Stilkey's free spirit and invited him to use Artpiece as a studio space. One of Stilkey's first solo shows at Artpiece was entitled *100 Portraits*. Stilkey painted 100 portraits on book pages. *100 Portraits*, a limited edition book of the portraits was published.

In 2006 gallery owners Jana DesForges and artist Dave Kinsey (original partner with Shepard Fairey) discovered Stilkey's work. Later that year BLK/MRKT invited Stilkey to be a part of a group show. Stilkey debuted his first book sculpture while exhibiting work at BLK/MRKT.

> It was sort of an accident. I was painting on book pages for forever. At the time, I was drawing on books, records or anything else I could find at a thrift store. Eventually, I started drawing on the books themselves. I was going to do a project where I just drew on the covers of the books, and as I finished them I would stack them against the wall. It dawned on me that it might be a good idea to paint down the spines of the books instead of just on the covers. The first one I did I didn't really think much of, but I brought it down to BLK/MRKT, and I remember Jana going crazy over it. We showed it at the second Artists' Annual group show where it got quite a bit of attention, including attention from Kim Davenport, the director of Rice Gallery in Houston.

The day after the show, Rice University contacted Stilkey about a large-scale installation. Within the week Stilkey was in Houston and in discussions about creating a piece that would consist of 5,000 books. The exhibition opened in the summer of 2007. Rice University bought the piece, where it is now on permanent display.

Since 2007, Stilkey's work has been exhibited throughout the United States as well as internationally, at galleries and museums such as: the Bristol City Museum in the UK, Mesa Contemporary Art Museum in Mesa, Arizona, Bakersfield Museum of Art in Bakersfield, California, the Arne Nixon Center at California State University, Fresno, the Andrea Schwartz Gallery in San Francisco, the Kinsey/DesForges Gallery in Culver City, California, the David B. Smith Gallery in Denver, the Gilman Contemporary Gallery, Ketchum, Idaho, and LeBasse Projects in Culver City, California. He has also created numerous large-scale installations internationally in: Bordeaux, France; Hong Kong, China; Turin, Italy; Manila, Philippines; and Bern, Switzerland.

Stilkey's largest installation entitled *Discarded Romance* debuted in Hong Kong Times Square in 2012. The 24 foot high by 14 foot wide installation consisting of more than 5,000 books was the centerpiece of a solo show in Hong Kong entitled *Full of Smiles and Soft Attentions*. This show propelled Stilkey's international profile. Andrew Hosner of *Arrested Motion* wrote: "Stilkey's work features a melancholic and at times whimsical cast of characters, with an aesthetic reminiscent of Weimer-era German expressionism. Inhabiting an ambiguous environment, his subjects convey a lingering sense of loss and longing. Stilkey's work reinvents the canvas to push boundaries between words, visual art and music".

Jenna Krajeski of The New Yorker wrote: "His work on stacked spines and covers reworks books into a beautiful, albeit unreadable, library".

For the 50th Anniversary of John F. Kennedy's death, the Washington Post commissioned Stilkey to paint a portrait of Kennedy on books that were written about Kennedy. A photo of the portrait garnered the front page of the Washington Post on October 27, 2013.

## Personal life

Stilkey is an avid pool player and can be commonly found in pool tournaments where other contestants only know him by his nickname "Red."

Stilkey is an animal lover and vegetarian. "I love the fact that animals have such strong personalities. In the end we're all the same. We're all alive in this weird place".

Stilkey lives in a suburb of Los Angeles with his wife and son. His wife Elizabeth has been the inspiration for many of Mike's works.

title: Gerard Smith (governor)

abstract: Lieutenant Colonel Sir Gerard Smith,, a member of the Smith and Carington family, was a business leader, politician, and Governor of Western Australia from 1895 to 1900.

# Gerard Smith (governor)

Lieutenant Colonel **Sir Gerard Smith**, KCMG (12 December 1839 – 28 October 1920), a member of the Smith and Carington family, was a business leader, politician, and Governor of Western Australia from 1895 to 1900.

## Early life

Gerard Smith was born on 12 December 1839 in Pimlico, London. He was the third son of Martin Tucker Smith (1803–1880), politician, banker and director of the East India Co., and Louisa (Ridley) Smith. His paternal grandfather was John Smith (1767–1842), a banker and Tory Member of Parliament, and his maternal grandfather was Matthew White Ridley, a baronet.

## Career

Smith joined the Royal Scots Fusiliers as an ensign in 1857 and briefly saw service in Canada, retiring from the army in 1874. He joined the family bank, Samuel Smith, Bros. & Co., and went on to become a business leader in Kingston-upon-Hull, being instrumental in the formation of the Hull and Barnsley Railway in 1880. He succeeded his second cousin William Carington as a Liberal MP for Wycombe from 1883 to 1885, and was a Groom in Waiting to Queen Victoria in the same period.

In 1895, Smith was appointed Governor of Western Australia and knighted. He served as Governor until 1900.

## Freemasonry

Smith was a Freemason, being initiated into Studholme Lodge No. 1591 on 4 May 1880 at the age of 41. He was subsequently passed to the Second Degree and raised to the Third Degree within two months, and on 17 January 1890, became Worshipful Master of the Lodge. As was usual, when he was appointed Governor of Western Australia he was also appointed Past Junior Grand Warden of United Grand Lodge of England.

In 1898 he was appointed District Grand Master of the District Grand Lodge of Western Australia. He was a supporter of the Grand Lodge movement then active in the colony, allowing his lodges to discuss the question. When the Grand Lodge of Western Australia was consecrated on 27 February 1900, he was elected as its first Grand Master.

However, as his term as Governor was rapidly drawing to a close, he remained Grand Master for only one year.

## Death

Smith died in London on 28 October 1920. His wife predeceased him in 1915.
