# Love me Licia

***Love me Licia*** is an Italian television series. It is the first of the four live adaptations of the Japanese manga *Ai Shite Knight* (known in Italy as *Kiss Me Licia*). Its sequels are *Licia dolce Licia*, *Teneramente Licia*, and *Balliamo e cantiamo con Licia*.

## Plot

Bee Hive, a musical group that left for the United States at the end of the animated series, return from America and then go on tour followed by their girlfriends. Licia suspects that Mirko, her boyfriend and frontman of the Bee Hive, has fallen in love with Mary, the group's foreign manager, but in reality the one who falls in love with her is Marrabbio, Licia's father; Marrabbio will literally lose his head for Mary and will do his best to conquer her, often offering her inviting food cooked by him, but will have to measure himself against the younger and more beautiful Vilfredo, whom he nicknamed "Boiled Artichoke"; Vilfredo, however, will also have a negative role in the series, because he will kidnap the cat Giuliano in order to obtain the formula of Marrabbio's meatballs, to be later forgiven in the following series.

Miss Mary will have the power to sweeten the grumpy Marrabbio, to such an extent that he will be convinced to let Lycia go to the sea with Mirko and the Bee Hives, in order to be able to take care of Andrea, even if the grouch will still follow his daughter to the beach anyway, where new adventures and comic skits will take place.

## Production

Aishite Knight was very successful in Italy, so broadcasting company Fininvest decided to make, with the consent of the original producers, the show  *Love me Licia*  as a sequel of the anime.

Cristina D'Avena, who had sung the Italian opening of the original anime, would play Yakko, while Pasquale Finicelli was chosen for Go Kato. Although the two were both singers, Finicelli's voice is never heard in the show while D'Avena's voice was only used for one song. This is because all the actors of the show were voiced by the voice actors of the characters they played, so Cristina D'Avena was dubbed in the parts spoken by Donatella Fanfani, while Finicelli was voiced by Ivo De Palma in the dialogues and, in the sung parts, by Enzo Draghi. The character of Lauro was played by his voice actor (Antonio Paiola), so he was not dubbed. Characters invented specifically for the show were also equally voiced except for Lucas (Bee Hive's new manager) and Hildegard (a German girl) who were voiced by their actors. The interpreters of Shigemaro and Grandpa Sam (Salvatore Landolina and Sante Calogero respectively), despite being both professional voice actors, were voiced by Pietro Ubaldi and Riccardo Mantani.

The show is affected by the influence of the original anime much more than the other three future ones, especially for the look of the characters (Yakko, for example, had bobbed hair like in the anime, although in later series they will become smooth).

## Differences from the original anime

* *Aishite Knight* is set in Japan, while from the dialogues of Grandpa Sam and Hildegard it is understood that the TV series is set in Italy.
* All the places that appear in the series (Shigemaro's restaurant, Yakko's house, the Bee Hive rehearsal room, Go's house and the kindergarten where Hashizo, Kaoru and Gonta go) are different from the anime.
* Hashizo and Satomi have blue and purple hair in the anime, respectively; in *Love me Licia* both have brown hair.
* Go does not wear earrings unlike in the anime, where he wore them very often.
* Shin'ichi looks totally different from that of the anime and has a bigger role alongside Hiroyuki.
* In Love me Licia Go, Satomi and Shigemaro do not smoke.
* Grandpa Sam and Lauro have a major role in *Love me Licia*.
* Eiji in *Love me Licia* never wears sunglasses.
* Hashizo's birthday in Aishite Knight is July 7 while in *Love me Licia* it is December.
* At the end of the original anime Yakko and Go promise to get married when the latter returns from United States, having also had the consent of Shigemaro. in the show Shigemaro is opposed to the marriage between the two.
* Juliano has a very comedic role in *Aishite Knight*, often resulting in wacky comic relief; in *Love me Licia* he is a more normal cat who rarely talks.
* The TV show is less dramatic, more sentimental and child-friendly.

## Soundtrack

The initial and final theme song of the show was written by Giordano Bruno Martelli and Alessandra Valeri Manera and sung by Cristina D'Avena.

## Filming

The interiors of the series were shot in the former studios of Merak Film S.r.l. while the exteriors in the park of Brugherio both in Cologno Monzese.

The Bee Hive concerts were shot in a former disco in Jesolo and Igloo in Varallo.

## New characters

The show features new characters invented specifically for it.

* Lucas: the manager of Bee Hive, replacing Yamadazaka. Played and voiced by Augusto Di Bono.
* Miss Mary: the foreign manager by Bee Hive. Shigemaro falls in love with her and tries to make him eat her meatballs. Played by C. Brambilla Pisoni and voiced by Valeria Falcinelli.
* Vilfredo María: initially introduced as a Spanish womanizer, he turns out to be an industrial informant of a company who will try to find out Shigemaro's secret recipes then being unmasked. As a result, he kidnaps the cat Juliano promising to give him back if he is told the recipe but he will be stopped. Played by Federico Danti and voiced by Franco Gamba.
* Hildegard: a friend of the protagonists from West Germany, with a talent for mimicking voices. Played and voiced by Debora Magnaghi.
* Giovanni: a war veteran who will help the protagonists in finding Juliano. The actor who played it he's unknown.

### Existing characters

* Corrado: a TV host who hosts the show where Bee Hive perform. Played by himself
* Kim Basinger: an actress who should have had a pool date with Shin'ichi. She is mentioned only by Shin'ichi.

title: Gaut of Mel

abstract: Gaut of Mel was a powerful Norwegian nobleman, Chief, and Liegeman who was lord of Mel and Ænes. He was the son of Jon Gautson på Ornes and the older brother of Arnbjorn Johnson and Askel Johnson Bishop of Stavanger. He was part of the larger Ænes-Mel Noble family, one of the most prestigious in Norway. He was also the father of Baron Finn Gautsson. He was one of the six liegeman listed as in attendance of the meeting to determine king Haakon IV of Norway's legitimacy in 1223. In the early years of Haakon IV of Norway he was one of the chief officers of the royal government. In 1235 he is included in the list of Liegemen who were with the king during the conflict escalation with Skule Bårdsson. In 1239 he is considered by Snorri Sturluson to have purposely soured relations between the King and Duke Skule Bårdsson thus leading to the conflict escalating between the King and Duke. Skule Bardsson is famous for having made a jest that Odin who used to set kings against each other was actually known as Gaut. When Snorri agreed with Skule, the duke told him to compose a verse on the spot and Snorri said; "The Charm Creator called to war Bing and Wartusk rival kings, Gaut stirred up that rush of strife, Odin-Gaut I meant to say" The verse is meant to be comedic but it also shows some respect for Gaut by comparing him to the god of war. In 1240 when the Wolfskins were calling king Haakon Haakon sleepy-head Gaut was with the king along with Peter Paulsson, Asolf Earlkin, Gunnar Kingskin, and Issac of Bræ. Gaut was an important commander during the Battle of Oslo in 1240 April 21. He was the banner bearer and when he chased Olaf of Vigdeild into the Church of Saint Laurence in Oslo he asked if Olaf wanted peace; Olaf replied he did, to which Gaut said to stay in the church if he wanted peace. After the victorious battle Gaut let Arfin Thiof be slain in 1241. Later in 1247 Gaut was listed first among the liegemen who attended Haakon IV of Norway's recoronation. During the invasion of Halland in 1253 Gaut showed up to the levy and was listed as the third most noble of the liegemen. Considering he showed up to the levy it is likely that he fought in the coming conflict. During the Shetland Campaign by Haakon IV of Norway in 1263 Gaut stayed behind in Norway to help govern the country. He died in the year 1270 AD.

# Gaut of Mel

**Gaut of Mel** (a.k.a Lendmann Gaut Johnsson) (c. 1190-1270) was a powerful Norwegian nobleman, Chief, and Liegeman who was lord of Mel and Ænes. He was the son of Jon Gautson på Ornes and the older brother of Arnbjorn Johnson and Askel Johnson Bishop of Stavanger. He was part of the larger Ænes-Mel Noble family, one of the most prestigious in Norway. He was also the father of Baron Finn Gautsson.

He was one of the six liegeman listed as in attendance of the meeting to determine king Haakon IV of Norway's legitimacy in 1223 (along with Paul flida, Peter Flida, Brynjulf Canutesson, John Steel (Liegeman), and Ivar Nosy). In the early years of Haakon IV of Norway he was one of the chief officers of the royal government.

In 1235 he is included in the list of Liegemen who were with the king during the conflict escalation with Skule Bårdsson.

# Vera Paunović

**Vera Paunović** (Serbian Cyrillic: Вера Пауновић; 15 December 1947 – 21 February 2020) was a politician in Serbia. She served in the National Assembly of Serbia as a member of the Party of United Pensioners of Serbia (PUPS) on an almost continuous basis from 2012 until her death.

## Early life and private career

Paunović completed Belgrade's Higher School of Economics program in 1974–75 and subsequently worked for RB Kolubara in her home community of Lazarevac, Belgrade as a financial services manager.

## Political career

Paunović was a founding member of the PUPS in 2006. She became party secretary for Lazarevac in 2009 and a member of the PUPS executive committee at the republic level in 2010, serving in both roles until her death.

She was first elected to the National Assembly in the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election, which the PUPS contested in an alliance with the Socialist Party of Serbia. Paunović received the twenty-third position on the Socialist-led electoral list and was elected when the list won forty-four mandates. After the election, the PUPS joined a coalition government led by the Serbian Progressive Party and the Socialists, and Paunović served with the ministry's parliamentary majority. She again received the twenty-third position on the Socialist list in the 2014 election and was re-elected when the list again won forty-four mandates. The governing alliance of Progressives and Socialists continued after the election, and the PUPS assembly members continued to support the government.

In early 2016, the PUPS ended its electoral alliance with the Socialist Party and formed a new alliance with the Progressive Party, contesting the 2016 parliamentary election on the latter's *Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning* list. Paunović received the 228th list position (out of 250). This was too low a position for direct election to be a realistic prospect, and she was not initially re-elected even as the list won a majority victory with 131 out of 250 seats. She was, however, awarded a mandate on 5 October 2016, as a replacement for party leader Milan Krkobabić, who resigned from parliament after being appointed as a government minister.

During her final parliamentary term, Paunović was a member of Serbia's parliamentary friendship groups with Belarus, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Switzerland. She served two terms as coordinator of the women's parliamentary network in Serbia in the course of her career.

# Mike Tyson vs. Clifford Etienne

**Mike Tyson vs. Clifford Etienne**, billed as ***Back to Business***, was a professional boxing match contested on February 22, 2003.

## Background

In his previous fight on June 8, 2002, Mike Tyson had met WBC and IBF heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis. In what would prove to be the final title match of Tyson's career, he was thoroughly outboxed by Lewis, who from the second round on, won every round on the judge's scorecards before knocking out Tyson in the eighth. Though Tyson's plans were not immediately known after his defeat, he announced in November that he would return to boxing on February 22, 2003 to take on fringe contender Clifford Etienne, with the fight taking place at the site of his previous fight with Lewis, the Pyramid Arena in Memphis. Etienne began his professional career with 19 consecutive victories and was named 2000's "Most Exciting Fighter to Watch" by *The Ring* magazine, but a loss to Fres Oquendo, in which Etienne was knocked down seven times in eight rounds, halted his progress. Only days before the fight was to take place, however, Tyson's new trainer Freddie Roach announced that he didn't think Tyson was ready for the fight and advised him to not go through with it, citing Tyson's lack of condition, as well as the fact that a loss to a journeyman like Etienne could end Tyson's career. Two days later, the fight was cancelled after both the fight's promoters and Tyson's team failed to hear back from Tyson about whether or not he would go through with the fight. However, Tyson arrived in Memphis the following day, seemingly putting the fight back on, but the fight was again held up as Etienne pulled out because several members of his camp had already left Memphis after the first cancellation. The following day, Etienne had a change of heart and stated "This morning, I woke up and I thought about it. I realized that I've worked all these weeks for this. I weighed everything out again. The fight is on."

## The fight

Despite concerns about Tyson's condition, the fight would prove to be one of his quickest victories. Tyson would start the match aggressively by throwing powerful combinations at Etienne, causing Etienne to clinch with Tyson, though the combined momentum of the two fighters caused both men to stumble to the mat and the referee then called a brief timeout to allow the fighters to regroup from the fall. After the fight was resumed, Tyson continued to throw wild power punches at Etienne, though none connected. Etienne responded by throwing several power punches of his own which caused Tyson to clinch. After being separated, Etienne missed Tyson with a left jab–right hand combination. Tyson then missed with a left hook, but rebounded with a strong right hand that sent Etienne down. Etienne laid flat on his back and made no attempt to get back up as the referee counted him out. Tyson was then awarded the knockout victory at 49 seconds of the first round. The victory would be the 50th and final one of Tyson's professional career.

## Aftermath

Prior the fight, there had been preliminary discussions about a possible rematch between Lewis and Tyson that would take place during June 2003 depending on how well Tyson performed against Etienne. Immediately after his impressive victory over Etienne, Jim Gray conducted an interview with Tyson and asked him if the rematch with Lewis was next. However, after being dominated by Lewis in the previous fight, Tyson was reluctant to face Lewis so soon and said he would need at least two more tuneup bouts before he would consider fighting Lewis again. However, with both men in their mid 30s and near end of their careers, Lewis insisted that the match take place in June and gave Tyson an April 15 deadline to accept the match, but Tyson passed on the match and instead agreed to face Oleg Maskaev on the undercard of Lewis' title defense against Vitali Klitschko, which was scheduled for June 21. However, Tyson pulled out of the deal and would not fight for the remainder of 2003 due in large part to Tyson filing for bankruptcy and subsequently filing a $100 million lawsuit against Don King. After a 17-month layoff, Tyson would finally return to boxing on July 30, 2004 to take on Danny Williams. Though he came into the fight as a 9–1 underdog, Williams would upset Tyson by knocking him out in the fourth round.

title: WWE Great Balls of Fire

abstract: WWE Great Balls of Fire was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division. The event took place on July 9, 2017, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The event's title referenced Jerry Lee Lewis' song of the same name, which was used as the event's theme song. It was a one-off event by WWE, as following WrestleMania 34 the following year, brand-exclusive PPVs were discontinued, resulting in WWE reducing the amount of yearly PPVs produced.

This date's event was originally announced to revive the Bad Blood PPV and be held at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, which would have been the first Bad Blood since 2004 and the fourth Bad Blood event overall. However, these plans were scrapped in favor of Great Balls of Fire. Bad Blood would instead later return in 2024, 20 years after the last Bad Blood.

## Production

### Background

On March 21, 2017, WWE announced that it would be reviving the Bad Blood pay-per-view (PPV) to be held on July 9, 2017, from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. This would have been the fourth Bad Blood event, the first held since 2004, and the first Bad Blood to livestream on the WWE Network. On April 28, however, the company announced that these plans were scrapped in favor of a new event titled Great Balls of Fire which would instead be held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on July 9. Tickets went on sale on May 5 through Ticketmaster. To coincide with the brand extension that was reintroduced in July 2016, in which the promotion again split its main roster between the Raw and SmackDown brands where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform, the event was held exclusively for the Raw brand.

The event's title referenced Jerry Lee Lewis' song of the same name, which was ultimately used as the event's theme song. WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler stated that his personal attorney, who also represented Lewis, had asked him about pursuing legal action over the title, but that he "called them and got everything worked out", including securing rights to use the song itself as part of the event. The name received negative criticism on social media.

### Storylines

The event comprised nine matches, including one on the Kickoff pre-show, that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw brand, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows, *Monday Night Raw* and the cruiserweight-exclusive *205 Live*.

After Brock Lesnar won the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 33, Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman teased a match between Lesnar and Roman Reigns as they were the only two men to have defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania in the following episode of *Raw*. Lesnar was notably absent from *Raw* for several weeks due to his status as a part-time wrestler. During this time, Reigns, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Bray Wyatt, and Samoa Joe each expressed their desire to challenge Lesnar for the Universal Championship. Due to Strowman being sidelined from an arm injury, General Manager Kurt Angle scheduled an extreme rules fatal five-way match at Extreme Rules between the remaining five, with the winner earning a title match at Great Balls of Fire. Joe won the match and confronted Heyman the following night on *Raw*, stating that he did not fear Lesnar and wanted to face him. Joe then applied the "Coquina Clutch" on Heyman to send a message to Lesnar, who returned the following week and got into a brawl with Joe, which was broken up by the Raw locker room. On the June 26 episode, as Lesnar was making his entrance, Joe ambushed Lesnar from behind and applied the "Coquina Clutch" on him three times, nearly causing Lesnar to pass out. Joe stopped the third attempt only after some other wrestlers pulled him off of Lesnar. On the final *Raw* before Great Balls of Fire, the two had a live split-screen interview. They taunted each other and an enraged Joe left to find where Lesnar was. He eventually found him, but was held back by security.

On the April 3 episode of *Raw*, Braun Strowman, who had been feuding with Roman Reigns since the Royal Rumble, interrupted Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and indicated his desire to face him for the title, but left before a fight could occur. Strowman then continued his feud with Reigns, defeated him at Payback, and assaulted him after the match and again on *Raw Talk*, when Reigns was about to be taken to a medical facility. However, Reigns retaliated by slamming an ambulance door against Strowman's arm multiple times. The next night on *Raw*, General Manager Kurt Angle informed the audience that both men were injured. The following week, Strowman, wearing a sling on his arm, indicated that he would target the Universal Champion after finishing off Reigns. Later that night, Reigns attacked Strowman during the latter's match, targeting his arm with a steel chair. Strowman required surgery and was expected to be inactive for up to six months. On the June 19 episode of *Raw*, Reigns proclaimed himself to be the number one contender for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. Later that night, Strowman returned in an ambulance, costing Reigns his match against Samoa Joe. Strowman attacked Reigns and challenged him to an ambulance match at Great Balls of Fire. The following week, Reigns accepted the challenge and an ambulance appeared at the stage; Reigns went to investigate, but Strowman attacked him and put him into the ambulance. On the final *Raw* before Great Balls of Fire, Strowman attempted to put Apollo Crews, who he had just defeated, in an ambulance, but as he opened the door, Reigns was in the ambulance and attacked Strowman. The two brawled that ended with Reigns executing a spear on Strowman off the stage and both crashed through a table and boxes.

At Extreme Rules, Alexa Bliss retained the Raw Women's Championship against Bayley. The following night on *Raw*, General Manager Kurt Angle scheduled Bliss to defend the title against Nia Jax, as Bliss had said that she would give Jax a shot after she was through with Bayley. Bliss won the match by disqualification after getting Mickie James and Dana Brooke, who were at ringside, to attack her. On the June 12 episode, Sasha Banks, Brooke, and James defeated Bliss, Jax, and the returning Emma after Bliss abandoned her partners. The following week, during a match between Jax and Banks, Emma confronted Bliss, and a brawl broke out also involving Brooke, James, and Bayley, who came out to help Banks. Angle then scheduled a six-woman gauntlet match for the June 26 episode where the winner would face Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship at Great Balls of Fire. Jax eliminated Bayley, James, Brooke, and Emma before being eliminated by Banks via submission. Bliss then came out to confront her, but Banks attacked her and posed with the title belt.

On the May 15 episode of *Raw*, Seth Rollins was scheduled to face Bray Wyatt as part of the buildup to their fatal five-way match at Extreme Rules. Wyatt and Rollins insulted each other prior to their match which Rollins won by disqualification after Samoa Joe interfered. On the June 5 episode of *Raw*, Rollins wrestled Joe. During the match, Wyatt's music played and distracted Rollins, allowing Joe to win. The following week, Rollins confronted Wyatt, called him a coward, and wondered if the reason Wyatt cost him his match was due to Rollins previously calling him gutless. Wyatt, claiming himself to be a god, said that although Rollins slayed a king (referring to Rollins' victory over Triple H at WrestleMania 33), he cannot slay a god. The next week, as Rollins introduced himself as the cover star of the *WWE 2K18* video game, he was interrupted by Wyatt. Wyatt accused Rollins of contradicting the video game's tagline "Be Like No One" by having conformed to the expectations of the audience. Rollins then attacked Wyatt. On the June 26 episode, Wyatt challenged Rollins to a match at Great Balls of Fire, which Rollins accepted. The two cut promos on each other the following week, with Wyatt's promo emanating from a desert.

On the June 6 episode of *205 Live*, Titus O'Neil attempted to get Akira Tozawa to join his stable of wrestlers, "The Titus Brand" (later named "Titus Worldwide"). O'Neil continued to try and recruit Tozawa on the June 12 episode of *Raw*, the following night on *205 Live*, and the following week on *Raw*, after Tozawa defeated TJP. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville then complained about being disrespected by Tozawa. O'Neil responded that Tozawa could beat Neville and, with his help, would become Cruiserweight Champion. On the June 26 episode of *Raw*, O'Neil informed both Neville and Tozawa that he had negotiated a title match between the two at Great Balls of Fire. The following week on *205 Live*, O'Neil hyped the Cruiserweight Championship match. Neville interrupted and said that Titus was only concerned with making money, and not the safety of his own clients, as demonstrated by the loss Titus Worldwide member Apollo Crews received from Braun Strowman on the previous night's episode of *Raw*.

On the May 22 episode of *Raw*, Enzo Amore was found unconscious backstage after being attacked from behind by an unknown assailant, and again the following week, where The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) became suspects. Raw commentator Corey Graves suggested that Big Cass, Amore's tag team partner, may have behind the attack, which Cass denied, saying that he would never hurt Amore. The following week, Cass was found backstage knocked out. Big Show, in Cass' place, teamed with Amore in a victory over Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Later backstage, Cass confronted Show. The following week, Cass was again found unconscious, but still competed with Amore against Gallows and Anderson in a losing effort. Gallows and Anderson tried to attack Amore, but Show made the save while Cass watched. Amore confronted Show regarding Cass being attacked, which Show took offense to and walked away. On the June 19 episode of *Raw*, General Manager Kurt Angle held a meeting about the attacks on Amore and Cass. After being questioned, Big Show took offense and said that he would not compete on *Raw* again and left. After Angle cleared The Revival of any wrongdoing, Graves showed video surveillance of Cass staging his own attack from the previous week. Cass admitted that he was behind the attacks on Amore. Cass said that he was tired of Enzo and blamed the fact they never won a championship on him. Cass broke up the team before kicking Amore in the head. The following week, Cass said that he was ashamed of himself for what he did. The two embraced in the ring, but on the stage, Cass attacked Amore. On the July 3 episode, Amore said that he would fight back and the two brawled until Angle separated them and made a match between them at Great Balls of Fire.

At Extreme Rules, The Miz defeated Dean Ambrose to win his seventh Intercontinental Championship. The following night on *Raw*, Ambrose wanted a rematch, but Miz denied him. Later, Maryse threw Miz a celebration party which consisted of champagne, a bear mascot, and a huge red gift. Miz attacked the mascot because he thought it was Ambrose. Miz also thought that Ambrose was hiding in the gift and he knocked it over and proceeded to destroy it. Maryse said that it was a grandfather clock that he had always wanted, which caused Maryse to run to the back upset. Miz apologized to Maryse for destroying the clock and for accidentally knocking her off the apron the previous week. Maryse accepted the apology, but after Ambrose interrupted, the clock was accidentally broken again by Miz, and Maryse left the ring in tears. Following this, Ambrose was attacked by two men dressed in bear costumes who were revealed to be Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, who Miz had earlier invited to be part of his entourage. The following week on *Raw*, Ambrose teamed with Heath Slater and Rhyno in a losing effort against The Miz and his Miztourage (Axel and Dallas). The following week, Miz retained his title in a match against Slater. Ambrose was then granted his rematch for the Intercontinental Championship at Great Balls of Fire.

At Extreme Rules, Cesaro and Sheamus defeated The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) in a Steel Cage match to win the Raw Tag Team Championship. The Hardy Boyz invoked their championship rematch for the June 12 episode of *Raw* in a two out of three falls match, which ended in a no contest after the deciding fall ended in a double-countout. On the June 26 episode, The Hardy Boyz teamed with Finn Bálor and defeated the team of Cesaro, Sheamus, and Elias Samson. On the July 3 episode, General Manager Kurt Angle announced that The Hardy Boyz would face Cesaro and Sheamus in one final match for the titles in a 30-Minute Iron Man match at Great Balls of Fire.

### Pre-show

During the Great Balls of Fire Kickoff pre-show, Neville defended the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Akira Tozawa (with Titus O'Neil). In the end, Neville performed a Spinning Back Kick on Tozawa to retain the title.

### Preliminary matches

The actual pay-per-view opened with Bray Wyatt facing Seth Rollins. Wyatt poked the eye of Rollins and executed "Sister Abigail" on Rollins to win the match.

Next, Enzo Amore faced Big Cass. After dominating the entire match, Cass performed a Big Boot on Amore for the win.

After that, Cesaro and Sheamus defended the Raw Tag Team Championship against The Hardy Boyz in a 30-minute Iron Man match. At the start of the match, after Cesaro distracted Matt, Sheamus performed a "Brogue Kick" on Matt to make the score 1–0. Sheamus and Cesaro performed a "White Noise/Diving Neckbreaker" combination on Jeff to advance the score to 2–0. Jeff performed a "Twist of Fate" on Cesaro to make the score 2–1. After Cesaro threw Matt into the ring post, causing him to bleed, Matt was counted out, making the score 3–1. With the aid of Matt, Jeff pinned Cesaro with a split-legged pin to make the score 3–2. Matt performed a Super "Twist of Fate" on Sheamus to even the score 3–3. Thinking Sheamus was the legal man, Jeff performed a "Swanton Bomb" on him, but was quickly pinned by Cesaro, who was the legal man, to make the score 4–3. Jeff performed a "Twist of Fate" on Cesaro, but during the pin, the time-limit expired, meaning Cesaro and Sheamus retained the titles.

Later, Alexa Bliss defended the Raw Women's Championship against Sasha Banks. Banks applied the "Bank Statement" but Bliss touched the ring rope. Bliss was then counted out, meaning Banks won the match, but Bliss retained the title. After the match, Banks fought with Bliss on the stage and performed a "Meteora" on Bliss off the English announce table.

Next, The Miz (with his "Miztourage": Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, and Maryse) defended the Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose. Ambrose executed "Dirty Deeds" on Miz, only for Maryse to place Miz's foot on the rope at a two count. In the end, Axel distracted the referee, allowing Dallas to attack Ambrose. Miz then performed a "Skull Crushing Finale" on Ambrose to retain the title.

After that, Roman Reigns faced Braun Strowman in an ambulance match. In the climax on the stage, Strowman attempted to throw Reigns into the LED light board but Reigns pushed Strowman into it, destroying a section of the LED light board. As Reigns then attempted a spear on Strowman, Strowman avoided it and Reigns fell into the ambulance. Strowman then quickly closed the doors to win the match. After the match, Reigns left the ambulance, performed a spear on Strowman, and threw him into the ambulance. Reigns then drove the ambulance into the parking garage, reversed the ambulance, and crashed it into a production truck, trapping Strowman inside. Reigns then left as General Manager Kurt Angle appeared in shock.

Whilst backstage personnel and emergency services attended to Strowman, Heath Slater defeated Curt Hawkins in an impromptu match off-screen. After Strowman was freed from the ambulance with the jaws of life, he refused medical treatment and stumbled away.

### Main event

In the main event, Brock Lesnar (accompanied by Paul Heyman) defended the Universal Championship against Samoa Joe. Before the match, Joe attacked Lesnar and performed a "Uranage Slam" on Lesnar through an announce table. After Lesnar recovered, the match officially started and Joe applied the "Coquina Clutch" on Lesnar, who escaped and performed three German Suplexes on Joe. Whilst the referee was distracted, Joe attacked Lesnar with a low blow and applied a second "Coquina Clutch" on Lesnar, who countered into a Sidewalk Slam. Lesnar attempted an "F-5" on Joe, who countered into the "Coquina Clutch" for the third time. However, Lesnar escaped and performed an "F-5" on Joe to retain the title.

## Reception

Though the name of the event received massive criticism on social media, the card and presentation were well-received, with the event being considered one of the better WWE pay-per-views of 2017.

## Aftermath

Roman Reigns' post-match attack on Braun Strowman was widely described as attempted murder. The following day, it was reported that Strowman was in the care of his personal physician, but the severity of his injuries were undisclosed.

On the post-Great Balls of Fire episode of *Raw*, General Manager Kurt Angle congratulated Brock Lesnar on retaining the Universal Championship. As Angle was about to reveal his plans for Lesnar's championship match at SummerSlam, they were interrupted by Roman Reigns. Reigns said that he took care of Braun Strowman, since Angle could not and Lesnar was never around to be able to. Reigns then said he wanted Lesnar at SummerSlam, but Lesnar said he did not deserve it. They were then interrupted by Samoa Joe. He claimed that Lesnar did not beat him, but escaped him at Great Balls of Fire. Angle then scheduled Reigns to face Joe the following week where the winner would face Lesnar for the title at SummerSlam, however, the match ended in a no-contest after Strowman returned and attacked both, and Angle scheduled a fatal four-way for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam.

The Hardy Boyz addressed the Iron Man match. They said that due to their loss, other tag teams on Raw thought that they were done, but they said that they were not. They were then interrupted by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, who defeated The Hardys in an ensuing tag match. After that match, The Revival came out and also attacked The Hardy Boyz.

The Miz hosted his own award show, The Mizzies, in response to retaining the Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose. Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas tied for "Best Supporting Actor", Maryse won "Most Gorgeous Sexy Leading Lady", and The Miz won "Greatest Man in WWE". Ambrose then came out and immediately attacked Miz, but Axel and Dallas made the save. As Ambrose was getting beat down, Seth Rollins came out to help Ambrose, and the two cleared the ring. Later that night, Rollins faced Bray Wyatt in a rematch that Wyatt won. After the match, The Miztourage came out and attacked Rollins, who was saved by Ambrose.

In the women's division, Sasha Banks and Bayley teamed up to face Nia Jax and Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss in a rematch from the previous week. Bayley rolled up Bliss for the win. Bayley defeated Bliss the following week in a singles match, and then defeated Banks to become the number one contender for the title at SummerSlam. However, Bayley suffered an injury during a match against Jax on the July 31 episode, removing her from the title match. On the August 7 episode, Banks and Jax won their respective triple threat matches, and Banks defeated Jax to earn a rematch against Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam.

In the cruiserweight division, Akira Tozawa and Cedric Alexander teamed up and faced Noam Dar and WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville where Tozawa pinned Neville to win the match. The following night on *205 Live*, Neville attacked Tozawa during Tozawa's match against Ariya Daivari.

Big Cass gloated about defeating Enzo Amore. He said that he was the future of WWE and will eventually become Universal Champion. He was then interrupted by Big Show, who attacked Cass and threw Cass out of the ring. Cass and Enzo had a rematch on the July 24 episode that was again won by Cass. After the match, Cass attacked Enzo further, but was saved by Big Show. However, Cass also took out Show.

Great Balls of Fire would be a one-off event for WWE, as following WrestleMania 34 the following year, brand-exclusive PPVs were discontinued, resulting in WWE reducing the amount of yearly PPVs produced. While the date for Great Balls of Fire had originally been intended to revive Bad Blood, the company would in fact reinstate Bad Blood for October 2024, 20 years after the last Bad Blood event in 2004.

# WJDX-FM

**WJDX-FM** (105.1 MHz) is a mainstream urban radio station licensed to Kosciusko, Mississippi, but located in Jackson, Mississippi. It is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. (formerly Clear Channel Communications until September 2014). Its studios are located in northwest Jackson, and its transmitter site is east of Canton.

## History

From October 1998 to March 2003 WQJQ was a Jammin' Oldies station.

On January 24, 2011, WQJQ relaunched as "Oldies 105.1" and in the process changed its call letters to WJDX-FM. The original WJDX-FM call letters were on a progressive rock station at 102.9 (now WMSI-FM) from the late 1960s through the early 1970s. The station changed its calls to WZZQ in 1973 and would evolve from progressive rock to a locally produced AOR music format.

WJDX-FM's oldies format includes some of the songs that were popular on WJDX (AM) when that station played Top 40 music during the 1970s.

In November 2013, WJDX-FM flipped to its usual Christmas music format for the holidays. However, it changed its name to "FM 105.1: The Christmas Station". On December 26, 2013, WJDX-FM rebranded as "105.1 The River" and became a classic hits station (playing the hits of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s).

On September 1, 2014, the station ditched 1960s music to fully concentrate on 1970s and especially 1980s music. The station even had a slogan indicative of the change: "Jackson's Greatest Hits of the '70s and '80s."

On February 11, 2019, the station made the switch from classic hits to adult hits (but still heavily concentrated on 1980s music). Since then, the station's slogan has been "Jackson's Greatest Hits of the '80s and More."

On May 22, 2020, at noon, after stunting with music from different genres, WJDX-FM flipped to urban, branding itself as “Real 105.1”.

# Plop!

***Plop!***, "The New Magazine of Weird Humor!", was a comic book anthology series published by DC Comics in the mid-1970s. It falls into the horror / humor genre. It lasted 24 issues and the series ran from Sept./Oct. 1973 to Nov./Dec. 1976.

## Background and creation

According to Steve Skeates, *Plop!* was based around a horror / humor story he wrote called "The Poster Plague", which was published in *The House of Mystery*.

The title initially was intended to be called *Zany*. A number of the one-panel cartoons published in the comic included the visible prefix ZA, in reference to the originally intended title. Sergio Aragonés credits publisher Carmine Infantino with coming up with the final title: "Joe Orlando and I were sitting in a restaurant talking with Carmine Infantino. They wanted a magazine that was different, something about black humor. Carmine came up with the name. We were talking about it and he said, 'What will we call it?' And I said, 'We can call it anything, because if the magazine is good, then it will stay'. And he said, 'No, we can't call it, for instance...PLOP!' And I said, 'Yes, we can'. And so I started making sketches of things going PLOP! and they laughed and decided the name was good".

## Contents

Each issue was centered on a frame story starring three ghoulish characters with Biblical names: Cain, Abel (previously introduced in *The House of Mystery* and *The House of Secrets*, respectively) and Eve. An issue would typically contain a story told by each of the characters, each bidding to outdo the others in fiendishness.

Stories for *Plop!* were generally created in one of three ways. The most common was that Steve Skeates would write the stories himself, using the full script method. Due to a brief feud with editor Joe Orlando, for a time Skeates' stories were written under the pseudonym Chester P. Hazel. The second way was using plot ideas submitted by readers of the anthology. Orlando would select which plot ideas would be used and Skeates would then write the full story. The third way was that Aragonés would write the plot, and someone else would write the script once the story was fully drawn.

An illustrative tale drawn by Berni Wrightson involved a gourmet diner whose love for frog legs leads to a predictable amphibian revenge: he is left without lower limbs and is doomed to negotiate the world on a trolley.

Basil Wolverton and Wallace Wood provided covers for the first 19 issues, each depicting a freakish character of some kind. The cover borders hosting a plethora of creatures, however, were drawn by Sergio Aragonés. All three artists worked on *MAD*, and the logo of *Plop!* is reminiscent of the early logo of that magazine. Wolverton's covers were not drawn for *Plop!*; they were inventory pieces which he sent to DC Comics as a general submission. When all of the drawings he submitted were found suitable for use in *Plop!*, Wolverton briefly came out of retirement so that he could continue drawing covers for the magazine. After he had a stroke, the magazine turned to Wood as the new cover artist.

Aragonés drew most of the frame stories. Later MAD contributor Dave Manak also did art.

The magazine was first published without ads but, when sales proved insufficient, advertisements were brought in for later issues. The magazine sold so poorly that, even with the added advertising revenue, DC Comics lost money on each issue, leading to its cancellation.

## Awards

The series received a number of awards, including the Shazam Award for Best Humor Story in 1973 for "The Gourmet" in issue #1, and another nomination for the same award for "The Escape" in the same issue. Steve Skeates also won the Shazam Award for Best Writer (Humor Division) in 1973 for his work on the series. The comic was nominated for the Eagle Award for Favourite Comic (Humour) in 1977.

## Collected editions

* ***The Steve Ditko Omnibus Volume 1*** includes *Plop!* #16: "Love is a Dandy!" by Steve Skeates and Steve Ditko, 480 pages, September 2011, ISBN 1-4012-3111-X

# Martha Craig Daughtrey

**Martha Craig** "**Cissy**" **Daughtrey** (/ˈdɔːtri/; née **Kerkow**; born July 21, 1942) is a Senior United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

## Early life and education

Daughtrey was born in Covington, Kentucky. Her father, Spencer Emil Kerkow, a Kentucky state amateur golf champion, died from an infection following wisdom teeth extraction when she was barely a year old. Her mother took her to live in Franklin, Kentucky. Her mother remarried in 1947 when Martha was about five years old. Daughtrey received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vanderbilt University in 1964, and a Juris Doctor from Vanderbilt University Law School in 1968.

## Career

She was briefly in private practice in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1968, then became an Assistant United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, stationed in Nashville, from 1968 to 1969. She was an assistant district attorney for the Tenth Judicial Circuit of Tennessee, also in Nashville, from 1969 to 1972. She was a member of the faculty of the Vanderbilt University Law School, as an assistant professor of law from 1972 to 1975 and as a lecturer in law from 1975 to 1982, returning as an adjunct professor from 1988 to 1990. She was an Associate Judge of the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals, Middle Division from 1975 to 1990, becoming an associate justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court. She was the first woman to serve on this court, from 1990 until her appointment to the federal bench in 1993.

## Federal judicial service

On August 6, 1993, Daughtrey was nominated by President Bill Clinton to a new seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, created by 104 Stat. 5089. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on November 20, 1993, and received her commission on November 22, 1993. She assumed senior status on January 1, 2009.

## Notable case

On November 6, 2014, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in *DeBoer v. Snyder*, upholding same-sex marriage bans in four states in which Daughtrey dissented. This ran counter to rulings by the United States Courts of Appeals for the 4th, 7th, 9th and 10th circuits.

Daughtrey wrote:

> Because the correct result is so obvious, one is tempted to speculate that the majority has purposefully taken the contrary position to create the circuit split regarding the legality of same-sex marriage that could prompt a grant of certiorari by the Supreme Court and an end to the uncertainty of status and the interstate chaos that the current discrepancy in state laws threatens.

The United States Supreme Court later granted writ of certiorari to the case to review same-sex marriage bans when it previously declined to do so.

## Personal life

She is married to Larry Daughtrey, a journalist, and is a lifelong Democrat. Her daughter, S. Carran Daughtrey (b. 1964), her only child, is an Assistant United States Attorney, appearing in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (one of the subordinate courts to the Sixth Circuit) and currently teaches at Vanderbilt University Law School.

# Triple harp

The **triple harp** is a type of multi-course harp employing three parallel rows of strings instead of the more common single row. One common version is the **Welsh triple harp** (Welsh: *telyn deires*), used today mainly among players of traditional Welsh folk music.

## Italian *arpa tripla*

The triple harp originated in 16th-century Italy. To enable chromatic playing required by late-Renaissance music, a second row of strings containing the pentatonic scale (the accidentals) was added in parallel to the first row, which contained the diatonic scale. These harps were called *arpa doppia* or double harp and allowed for fully chromatic playing for the first time in the history of the harp. Later, a second diatonic row of strings was added on the other side of the pentatonic row of strings, creating the *arpa tripla* or triple harp. Double and triple harps continued to be the norm throughout the Baroque era in Italy, Spain, and France and were employed both as solo and continuo instruments.

The most famous surviving example of an Italian triple harp is the Barberini harp. The instrument was built between 1605 and 1620 for the Barberini family and was played by Marco Marazzoli. It features prominently in Giovanni Lanfranco's painting *Venus plays the harp*.

## Welsh *telyn deires*

### History

The triple harp appeared in the British Isles early in the 17th century. In 1629, the French harpist Jean le Flelle was appointed "musician for the harp" at the court of King Charles I. Flelle played the Italian triple harp with gut strings.

The triple harp was quickly adopted by the Welsh harpers living in London during the 17th century. It was so popular that by the beginning of the 18th century the triple harp became generally known as the "Welsh harp". Charles Evans was the first mentioned Welsh triple harpist. He was appointed harper to the court in 1660, where his official title was ‘His Majesty's harper for the Italian harp’. As late as the 1680s, Talbot was describing the triple harp as the English harp, and the Welsh harp he describes appears to be a large, diatonic gothic-style harp, with bray pins.

A description of the Welsh triple harp is given by the harpist John Parry (Bardd Alaw) (1776–1851) in the preface to the second volume of his collection, The Welsh Harper (London 1839):

The compass of the triple harp is about five octaves, or thirty-seven strings in the principal row, which is on the side played by the right hand, called the bass row. The middle row, which produces the flats and sharps, consists of thirty-four strings; and the treble, or left hand row, numbers twenty-seven strings. The outside rows are tuned in unison, and always in the diatonic scale, that is, in the regular and natural scale of tones and semitones, as a peal of eight bells is tuned.

When it is necessary to change the key, for instance, from C to G, all the F's in the outside rows are made sharp by raising them half a tone. Again, to change from C to F, every B in the outside rows is made flat, by lowering them by a semitone. When an accidental sharp or flat is required, the performer inserts a finger between two of the outer strings, and finds it in the middle row. Many experiments have been made, with a view of obviating the necessity of tuning the instrument every time a change in the key occurred. Brass rings were fixed near the comb, but those rattled and jarred. Every attempt failed until the invention of the pedal harp.

The skill of harp making in Wales had all but been lost for some 60 years until John Weston Thomas (MBE), a talented wood and metal worker, revived the craft, making Celtic, chromatic and triple harps until his death in 1992. A memorial prize, "Tlws Coffa John Weston Thomas" was subsequently instigated at the National Eisteddfod, to encourage competition in the traditional folk style. He passed on his skills to three apprentices: Allan Shiers, Brian Blackmore and Alun Thomas, his son.

Alun still makes triple and Celtic harps in his workshop in Fishguard. Brian Blackmore no longer makes triple harps, but Allan Shiers has continued the tradition in Wales and founded Teifi Harps in Llandysul, Ceredigion.

### Playing techniques

Among the most important and characteristic playing techniques for the Welsh triple harp is that of *unisons* or "Split doubling". The effect of unisons is obtained by playing the same note on both the outside rows using the right and left hands in rapid succession. Thus a progression of *e.g.*, C-D-F-E, is achieved by playing CC-DD-FF-EE.

From medieval times Welsh harpists played with the harp placed on the left shoulder, contrary to continental practice.

### Modern players

After the early 20th century, triple harps were almost completely abandoned in Wales in favour of the modern pedal harp. Preservation of the instrument and the playing style has been attributed to Nansi Richards (1888–1979), who learnt to play from Romani harpists in the Bala area at the turn of the century.

Subsequently, Nansi Richards was the harp teacher of the brothers Dafydd and Gwyndaf Roberts. The brothers went on to become founder members of Wales' most prominent folk group, Ar Log. While both brothers are proficient triple harpists, it became customary in the Ar Log line-up for Dafydd to play triple harp (and flute), with Gwyndaf playing the knee harp and clarsach (and bass guitar).

Today's leading exponent of the triple harp include Robin Huw Bowen, who was influenced by the music of Ar Log to the extent that he switched to the triple harp. Llio Rhydderch, another of Nansi Richard's pupils, has concentrated on teaching a new generation of as many young harpers as possible. A triple harp group called *Rhes Ganol* (Middle Row) was formed in 2000.

Other triple harpists include Rhiain Bebb, Huw Roberts, Gareth Swindail-Parry, Steffan Thomas, Wyn Thomas, Eleri Turner, Elonwy Wright, Carwyn Tywyn, a long-standing street busker, Sioned Webb and Bethan Nia. The triple harp is also played by a minority of classical harpists in Wales, including Angharad Evans, Elinor Bennett, Meinir Heulyn and Eleri Darkins.

Some non-Welsh players perform on the instrument, freeing it from total connection with the Welsh repertoire, which actually consists of 'art music' variations on Welsh tunes. These players notably include Maria Christina Cleary, Cheryl Ann Fulton, Maximilian Ehrhardt, Frances Kelly, Mike Parker, Robin Ward and Fiona Katie Roberts, who has worked with the BBC on some special projects including different designs for the harp and the design and manufacture of a quad harp.

Modern composers have displayed an interest in the triple harp; e.g. Richard Barrett, who includes the instrument in the diverse ensemble of his massive multipartite work, *Construction*.

# Mary C. Seward

**Mary Holden Coggeshall Seward** (July 9, 1839  circa September 1, 1919), commonly known as **Mary C. Seward**, was an American poet, composer, and prominent parliamentarian serving humanitarian and woman's club movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A number of her works were published under the pseudonym **"Agnes Burney"** , including several developed in collaboration with her spouse, Theodore F. Seward, an internationally known composer and music educator in his day. She became a groundbreaking advocate for the care and education of blind babies and young children during her later years, serving as president of the department for the blind of the International Sunshine Society (I.S.S.).

## Early years

Seward was born Mary Holden Coggeshall in New London, Connecticut. Her father, William Holden Coggeshall, was a veteran of the War of 1812 and a descendant of John Coggeshall, first president of the colony of Rhode Island. She was educated at the New London Female Academy where she studied under Hiram Warner Farnsworth. In 1860 she married Theodore F. Seward, a composer and music teacher who had previously worked as organist of a New London church. They lived in Rochester and Brooklyn in New York before relocating to East Orange, New Jersey in 1868.

## Poet and composer

Though not prolific, her poems and tunes appeared in numerous periodicals and music books. They were published under her name, her pseudonym **Agnes Burney**, or anonymously on occasion. Her carol *The Christmas Bells* (circa 1869) has been set to music by at least five different composers. She produced tunes for her own lyrics as well as those of other poets; one of the most widely published was her setting of Mary A. Lathbury's *Easter Carol* (circa 1883).

She had a long creative relationship with her composer husband and wrote verses for many of his songs. The 1867 collection *The Temple Choir*, one of Theodore F. Seward's most successful hymnbooks, contained both words and music credited to her pseudonym. She frequently accompanied him on business trips, including the second European tour of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in 1875 for which he was voice trainer and musical director.

## Club woman and parliamentarian

Seward was involved with the woman's club movement for forty-seven years. She was a member of Sorosis, the first American club dedicated to the improvement and advancement of professional women, and an organizer of the National Society of New England Women which she served twice as president. She belonged to the Woman's Club of Orange since its inception where, as president, she made the motion calling for the formation of the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs. She was a charter member of the International Sunshine Society founded by Cynthia W. Alden and served it many years as first vice president.

She identified herself as a “parliamentarian”, one proficient with “the minute details of presiding, of debating, of making motions, of conducting meetings.” Fellow “club women” described her as follows:

> She is an able parliamentarian and presides at meetings with ease and grace. She has the qualities of a good speaker, expressing herself clearly and fluently. ... \[S\]he has always been identified with those who did something that stood for an ideal or a purpose.
>
> E. Marguerite Lindley and Juanita Leland, The National Society of NE Women

## Philanthropy and later years

The I.S.S., of which Seward was an officer, supported "Sunshine Homes" for the care and education of young children with a variety of disabilities. A Branch for the Blind was created in 1904 to provide services for blind children below the age of eight that existing public programs either ignored or had been housing with the mentally challenged. The society opposed the then broadly held misconception that blind babies were "feeble-minded". A preliminary Sunshine Home for blind babies was established in a three-room New York City flat and other donated space. Founder Cynthia W. Alden described the approach:

> Our Society takes the blind babies and keeps them normal by seeing that as they grow they do what a seeing baby or child of that age should do. This means constant training all their waking hours.

In 1905, the I.S.S. Department (originally Branch) for the Blind was separately incorporated with Seward serving as president. It acquired property in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, New York for a larger facility to function as a combined home, nursery, hospital, and kindergarten. They petitioned the New York City Board of Education for support and in 1907 the Dyker Heights Home for Blind Babies became the site of the first public kindergarten for blind children in the United States operated by a major board of education. Seward subsequently became president of the Arthur Home for Blind Babies in Summit, New Jersey when it was established as a second combined facility in 1909.

The Department for the Blind also pursued critical legislative support. New York City passed the first legislation addressing the education and training of blind babies and young children in 1908. Thirteen states implemented relevant laws during the decade that followed, including New Jersey in 1911 and New York in 1912. Seward reported that "legislation in behalf of the blind baby was conceded by all members to be the greatest work of the society."

Seward continued to work as an advocate for blind babies and director of Arthur Home for the remainder of her life. As an officer of the I.S.S., she performed these tasks without pay or other compensation. She died suddenly on board a train bound for Buffalo, New York a few days before September 3, 1919.
