# Fort Beggs

**Fort Beggs** was an impromptu fort used one week in May during the 1832 Black Hawk War. Word about Indian attacks and massacres from the frontier led the residents of Plainfield, Illinois to convert the house of Rev. Stephen R. Beggs (1801–1895) into a makeshift fort. It was located in Plainfield, Illinois on the DuPage River and a monument was erected by the Will County Centennial Committee in 1936 to mark its location.

## Panic at Fort Beggs

Rev. Beggs' cabin was converted to a fort on a Thursday when logs from Rev. Beggs' barn and shed were used for a makeshift breastwork around the cabin and the entire structure housed 125 individuals. Rev. Beggs later explained their dire situation if attacked:

> We had four guns, some useless for shooting purposes. Ammunition was scarce. All of our pewter spoons, basins, and platters were soon molded by the women into bullets. As a next best means of defense, we got a good supply of axes, hoes, forks, sharp sticks, and clubs...

By Sunday a group from Chicago being led by Captain Naper and composed of both settlers and Native Americans had come to rescue them. On Monday, the group had split up with some reconnoitering along the Fox River and the others (mostly Native Americans), led by Mr. Lorton (possibly David Lawton), going to meet up with General Brown, Colonel Hamilton and their men near Aurora, Illinois. This never happened because they were captured en route but the Native Americans were "on good terms with Black Hawk" and were allowed to go free. Mr. Lorton, while on his way back to Chicago, briefly returned to Fort Beggs, told them what had happened and explained that an attack would come later that night. Those events are what set off the panic as described by Rev. Beggs:

> Such a scene as then took place at Fort Beggs was seldom witnessed, even in those perilous times. The stoutest hearts failed them, and strong men turned pale, while women and children wept and fainted, till it seemed hardly possible to restore them to life...

It was at this moment that they resolved to leave as soon as possible and were in the midst of deciding whether to flee to Ottawa, Illinois or Chicago, Illinois when James Walker (now elected as Captain) urged them to wait until the rest of the men returned. During this wait the settlers had built a wall around the fort out of old fencing and set it on fire so that they might see an attack coming during the night. Captain Naper returned with his men on Wednesday evening, brought word of a massacre on Indian Creek and advised them to leave immediately for either Ottawa or Chicago. The settlers chose the latter, made preparations, and left the next day (Thursday).

# Peery's Egyptian Theater

**Peery's Egyptian Theater** is a movie palace located in Ogden, Utah, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

## History

Peery's Egyptian Theater was built after the fiery demise of the Arlington Hotel in 1923. Harman and Louis Peery devised a plan to build a grand theater, "The Showplace of the West". The architectural firm of Hodgson & McClenahan, notable for many important Wasatch Front landmarks, was hired for the task. They took cues from many of the most famous western theaters, including Grauman's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, and settled upon an Egyptian-themed showhouse.

Construction began in 1923 on the cleared area left from the Arlington Hotel, and incidentally, the location of the Peerys' first Ogden home. Ten months passed, and on July 3, 1924, the Egyptian opened. The first feature played at the new theater was Zane Grey's *Wanderer of the Wasteland*. This "natural color" silent film was accompanied by the Mighty Wurlitzer, the Egyptian's famous pipe organ.

The first "talking picture" was *In Old Arizona*, shown in 1929. This downgraded the role of the house pipe organ, which was occasionally used during intermissions and other programs. In 1960, the organ was removed and put into storage.

Twentieth Century-Fox, the chain to which the Egyptian belonged, incorporated in 1935. Both of the Peery's theaters, the Egyptian and the Ogden, were leased by Fox Inter-Mountain Theaters as a result. A renovation of the theater's entrance increased the marquee size fourfold and added new box office and a new ceiling to the lobby. In 1951, Fox refurbished the Egyptian, adding many new and more splendid details to the theater.

1953 saw the arrival of two new and important events for the theater. The 3-D movie *It Came from Outer Space* was shown, a first of that type for the house, and then *The Robe*, a CinemaScope film, debuted. The format of CinemaScope, of more than two-to-one ratio in width versus height, necessitated the removal of two of the inner-proscenium columns. A four-channel high-fidelity system was also installed to accommodate the increasing significance of stereophonic sound in movies.

The subsequent remodeling in 1961 was met with mixed reactions. Many of the details of the original theater were painted over or removed. Pink curtains were accompanied by pink auditorium walls. A new, wider and larger screen was installed in front of the proscenium. Seating was also reconfigured, reducing capacity from 1,200 to 850 in an effort to increase the legroom and comfort of patrons. A reconditioning of the seats also occurred, further updating the standards.

In the following years, many different iterations of what was known as the Fox Inter-Mountain Corporation would keep the Egyptian at the forefront of the local theater scene. It showed first-run movies well into the early 1980s, when management passed to a smaller local chain. Lacking the presence and funding needed for first-run movies, the theater progressed to a second-run theater shortly before it was closed in 1984, due to a health code violation.

Many thought that the glory days of the Egyptian were over, and that there was no future for a classic, single-screen theater in Ogden. The theater was threatened on many occasions with demolition, as it sat, boarded up and unused. Rumors abounded until the theater was finally purchased, in the eleventh hour, for the original 1924 construction price of $250,000. Facilitated by the Weber County Heritage Foundation, the building was handed over to the Egyptian Theater Foundation, which was created as a means to facilitate the refurbishment of the classic showhouse. First Ogden City, then Weber County were given ownership of the building.

A complete restoration was accomplished with the partnership of Weber County, Ogden City, Weber State University, the Egyptian Theater Foundation, and the Ogden/Weber Chamber of Commerce. Major donations and contributions from Dr. Louis S. and Jan Peery, the George S. and Delores Dore Eccles Foundation, and the Utah State Legislature were received among hundreds of other smaller gifts. The adjoining David Eccles Conference Center and the Weber County government office, located in a renovated department store, were built and completed during this period.

The rescued Egyptian Theater reopened on January 17, 1997. Its role was expanded from a movie house to that of a community theater/performing arts house. A Wurlitzer pipe organ was reinstalled in 2004, completing the historic atmosphere of the theater.

In its more recent history the theater has shown classical plays and live musical performances; many Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ performances, classic and documentary films as well as children's films. Annual performances of *The Nutcracker* ballet during the Christmas season are very popular. The Sundance Film Festival has screened movies at Peery's Egyptian Theatre since 1998. Several community events are held regularly at the theater.

## Significance

The 800-seat showhouse used a solid, poured concrete construction. This measure was meant to increase the safety of the occupants, and resist fire, which has been a historically efficient killer of theaters and their patrons. In a test of the building's strength, over 70,000 lbs. of gravel were put onto the top of the auditorium. Such a load barely flexed the strong roof, and is a testament to the construction quality. So proud of the safety of the theater were the owners that they informed the public that the Egyptian was "Ogden's Only Fireproof Theater ... A Safe Place for the Kiddies," in large letters on the rear of the building.

The Egyptian is one of a few theaters to incorporate an "atmospheric" ceiling, where a daytime or dusk ambiance can be smoothly changed into one of a star-filled nighttime sky. This effect remains in operation at the present. The terra cotta facade, with its intricate colors and details intact, remains in excellent condition after over 80 years.

The seating area comprises one level, steeply raked for a nearly ideal viewing angle without resorting to steps. The seats are split into three parts, with a wide center and two smaller side seating areas to either side. Foot and knee room are comfortable, and the seats are comfortably reclined. The seating area also clings to its roots by using wood-backed seats and no modern-era cupholders.

The theater is one of fewer than fifty Egyptian-style theaters that were constructed in the country; only a dozen or so still stand. The "atmospheric" ceiling is likely one of two that currently exist in use throughout the United States. The Egyptian remains Utah's only bona fide "movie palace."

title: Forterre

abstract: The Forterre is a small natural region on the western edge of the French region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

text:
# Forterre

The **Forterre** (French pronunciation: \[fɔʁtɛʁ\]) is a small natural region on the western edge of the French region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

## Name

The name Forterre is a contraction of *forte terre*, "strong earth".

## Geography

The Forterre is neighbored by the Puisaye to the west and northwest, the Auxerrois to the northeast, the Yonne river valley to the east, and the hills of Nivernais to the south.

Its main town is Courson-les-Carrières. Significant villages include Bouhy, Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines, Etais-la-Sauvin, Ouanne, and Thury.

It is traversed by the water divide between the respective catchment areas of the Loire and the Seine. The Loing, a significant tributary of the Seine, has its source in the Forterre, in Sainte-Colombe-sur-Loing.

Today Forterre is bypassed by major infrastructures, but that was not always the case. The local topography still has traces of the Roman road between Auxerre (*Autissiodorum*) and Entrains-sur-Nohain (*Intaranum*), and of a 19th-century railroad, the Triguères-Surgy Line, most of which was dismantled in 1943 by German occupation forces to supply rails to the Russian front. The viaduct of Druyes is the railroad's most spectacular local legacy.

Forterre's terrain is comparatively dry and stands in contrast to the neighboring Puisaye with its lakes, rivers and forests.

Lying mid-way between Sancerre and Chablis, it used to be a wine-producing region. One late-medieval chronicle records a vineyard planted in the 1450s in Perreuse by Antoine de Chabannes, lord of Puisaye. The Forterre's grapevines, however, were ravaged by the early-20th-century outbreak of phylloxera. Recent attempts have been made to revive wine production, with grapes including Pinot noir, César, Pinot gris, Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Sauvignon blanc.

## Administration

Apart from its southwestern tip (Bouhy) in the département of Nièvre, the Forterre's territory is overwhelmingly in the Yonne département, and within it in the Canton of Vincelles since the latest cantonal redistricting took effect in 2015. The same Canton also includes parts of the Puisaye to the west of the Forterre, and of the Yonne valley to its east including its seat in Vincelles.

All of Forterre lies within the Communauté de communes de Puisaye-Forterre, established on 1 January 2017, of which it constitutes the southeastern third.

Together with neighboring Puisaye, Forterre has always been a borderland between different counties, provinces and later administrative regions within France. In the High Middle Ages it was on the border between the counties of Nevers and Auxerre. During the Hundred Years' War it found itself between the warring duchies of Berry and Burgundy in the Armagnac–Burgundian Civil War, then at the intersection between the respective domains of Charles VII and Henry VI as rival claimants to the French throne and of Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy. By the end of the Ancien Régime the Forterre was divided between Orléanais, Nivernais and the Duchy of Burgundy, with Champagne immediately to the north.

## History

The territory of the Forterre was Christianized in late antiquity. Some villages are traditionally associated with late-Antiquity saints, e.g. Mamertinus or Mammert in Perreuse and Romanus or Romain in Druyes. A Carolingian manuscript lists several Forterre parishes on the itinerary of Saint Aunarius, Bishop of Auxerre in the late 6th century, namely Courson-les-Carrières (*Curcedonus*), Druyes (*Drogia*), Bouhy (*Balgiacus*), Thury (*Tauriacus*), Levis (*Livadiacus*), and Ouanne (*Odona*).

In 841, the Battle of Fontenoy was fought mostly in western Forterre. Memories of the battle survive in a number of local place names. One example is the wood of *Roichat* near Thury, named after King Charles the Bald (*roi Charles*) who stayed there before the battle. A memorial obelisk was erected in 1860 near the village of Fontenoy at the initiative of local scholar Claude-Étienne Chaillou des Barres.

In the 12th and early 13th century, the Forterre was dominated by the Capetian House of Courtenay, a branch of France's royal family. The Courtenays, several of which became Emperors of Constantinople, built the Château de Druyes in Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines, now one of the region's foremost landmarks.

The Forterre suffered severe depopulation and decline during the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages, and renewal from the second half of the 15th century. Many village churches were entirely rebuilt at that time, which now constitute what is arguably the region's most characteristic architecture. Several of these churches have ornate portals and/or prominent towers, e.g. in Charentenay, Ouanne, Sainpuits, Sougères, Taingy, and Thury. This period of dynamism and prosperity, however, ended in the time of the French Wars of Religion.

The Forterre was briefly occupied by Coalition forces in the summer of 1815, and more durably by German forces in 1940–1944. An armed *résistance* group or *maquis* was established on the *Montagne des Alouettes* near Sougères-en-Puisaye, for a month between late July 1944 and the region's liberation in late August. About 250-strong, the group had weapons parachuted by Allied planes.

The history of the Forterre, especially its western part, is interwoven with that of the neighboring Puisaye. In the 15th and early 16th centuries, some of its villages such as Thury belonged to the Lordship of Puisaye. In 1955, the village of Sougères-les-Simon changed its name to Sougères-en-Puisaye, despite this being a misnomer if Puisaye is taken as the distinct geographical region to the northwest.

**Forterra Systems, Inc.** was a 3D graphics software company headquartered in San Mateo, California that produced private and secure massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) virtual worlds for corporate, government, defense, medical and educational clients. Forterra Systems also shared a close history with the MMOG *There*. On February 1, 2010, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced its acquisition of the company's simulation & collaboration product line, including all names, trademarks and licenses.

Founded in 1998 as **There, Inc.**, Forterra Systems built private and secure distributed virtual worlds using their OLIVE (On-Line Interactive Virtual Environment) technology platform and industry-standard PC server and client hardware. OLIVE virtual environments typically are deployed within a client's existing IT and network security systems. Optionally, OLIVE could be hosted externally by Forterra, depending upon the customer's preferences.

## On-Line Interactive Virtual Environment

On-Line Interactive Virtual Environment (OLIVE) customers rapidly generate realistic, three-dimensional virtual environments that scale from single user applications to large-scale simulated environments that support a vast number of concurrent users.

The virtual worlds produced or hosted by Forterra Systems and their clients appear to function similarly to public, open-invitation MMOGs (e.g., *There*, *Second Life*, *Active Worlds*). OLIVE environments differ from consumer-based MMOGs in that access to the virtual world is privately managed, and granted only to specific groups of users. OLIVE applications typically focus on employee or staff training, and secure collaborative business decision-making, for example, rather than focusing on entertainment or broadly-defined social networking purposes.

Another difference between conventional MMO virtual environments and OLIVE environments is that real-world locations are replicated in an OLIVE virtual world, as opposed to fantasy-based worlds or hypothetical "islands".

*There* is based on shared technology with Forterra Systems that was initially developed in conjunction with a US Army project. The *There* service was spun off to Makena Technologies in 2005. *There'*s operations remained uninterrupted during the various corporate changes. Since then, two additional instances of *There* have been created, both owned and administered by Makena Technologies.

title: Fortescue, New Jersey

abstract: Fortescue is a community and census-designated place (CDP) in Downe Township, Cumberland County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The community is located on the state's southern coast, on the Delaware Bay, surrounded on three sides by marshland. The area was named for John Fortescue, a local property owner at the time of American independence. As of the 2020 United States census, the CDP's population was 189. During the late 1970s and mid 1980s, Fortescue experienced the best fishing it had ever seen. Anglers were catching enormous numbers of weakfish every summer. Fortescue was the self-proclaimed "weakfish capital of the world". Overfishing led federal authorities to establish limits in the mid-1970s on the weakfish catch, though by 1990 the fish population had crashed, severely impacting the commercial fishing economy in the area. Fortescue is part of the Fortescue State Wildlife Management Area which covers 1,311.92 acres (530.92 ha).

**Pearl Lang** (May 29, 1921 – February 24, 2009) was an American dancer, choreographer and teacher renowned as an interpreter and propagator of the choreography style of Martha Graham, and also for her own longtime dance company, the Pearl Lang Dance Theater. She is known for *Appalachian Spring* (1944), *American Masters* (1985) and *Driven* (2001)

## Career

A native of Chicago, Lang began her dance training as a child and studied acting at the Goodman Theatre. Her dance teacher was Frances Allis who taught movement for actors as well as her own modern dance technique which has many similarities to Graham's. Lang studied Allis technique and performed with her company in Chicago. In 1938, at the age of 17, she enrolled in a program for gifted students at the University of Chicago, where she remained until 1941, the year of her move to New York. Born Pearl Lack, she adopted the stage name, "Pearl Lang", she studied with Martha Graham and Louis Horst and joined the Martha Graham Dance Company where she remained as a soloist from 1942 to 1952, and as a guest artist from 1954 through the late 1970s. She was the first woman to dance Martha Graham's roles in seven dances of Graham repertoire which she performed intermittently for thirty years to critical and audience acclaim. She was an original cast member in *Deaths and Entrances*, *Punch and the Judy*, *Land Be Bright*, *Imagined Wing*, *Diversion of Angels*, *Canticle for Innocent Comedians*, *Ardent Song*, *Dark Meadow*, *Night Journey*, *Eye of Anguish*, and *Appalachian Spring*. She was also a featured dancer in Broadway productions of *Carousel* (1945–47), *Finian's Rainbow*, and *Peer Gynt*.

In 1952, she founded her own company, Pearl Lang Dance Theater, for which she choreographed sixty-three works, thirty-six of which were based on Jewish themes. She choreographed for film, opera, and television and her works have been performed by the Dutch National Ballet, Boston Ballet, and the Batsheva Dance Company of Israel. In 1970, she invited Alvin Ailey and his company to share a three-story building with her dance company at 229 East 59th Street in Manhattan where, together, they co-directed the American Dance Center as a joint school. Pearl Lang Dance Theater's last New York season was held at the Danny Kaye Playhouse in 2001.

Among the many citations and awards that Lang received are two Guggenheim Fellowships for Choreography; the Martha Graham Award for Performance and Choreography; The Workmen's Circle Award for her contribution to Jewish Culture through Dance; the Achievement Award from the Artists and Writers for Peace in the Middle East; the Achievement Award from the Congress for Jewish Culture; the Cultural Achievement Award from the National Foundation for Jewish Culture; Queens College Award for Excellence in Jewish Art, and from the Juilliard School, an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts on May 19, 1995. In 1997, she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the International Committee for The Dance Library of Israel. In 2001 at the American Dance Festival she received the award for "Lifetime Distinguished Teaching".

As a teacher, Lang reached generations of young dancers. She served on the faculties of Yale University from 1954 to 1968, Juilliard School of Music from 1952 to 1969, Connecticut College and Neighborhood Playhouse from 1963 to 1968, and the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance up until shortly before her death. Among her many students were singer Madonna and choreographer Pina Bausch.

Lang was recuperating from hip surgery when she died of a heart attack in Manhattan, at age 87. She lived on the Upper West Side with her husband, actor Joseph Wiseman, to whom she had been married since 1964. Wiseman himself died less than eight months later, on October 19.

# Pearl Louise Weber

**Pearl Louise Hunter Weber** (18781975) was an American philosopher and educator.

## Biography

Weber was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1878. Her maiden name was Pearl Louise Hunter. She earned a philosophy degree from the University of Chicago in 1899, where she was the first woman to graduate with Phi Beta Kappa honors. Weber entered Cornell University in 1901 with a Sage Fellowship in philosophy and ethics. She married in 1902, and had four children, but eventually separated from her husband and returned to her career. Weber conducted graduate work under John Dewey and received a masters degree in philosophy from the University of Chicago in 1920.

Weber became a department head at Illinois Woman's College and various scattered academic posts before taking a faculty position at the University of Nebraska Omaha in 1923, where she was the head of the philosophy department from 1929 to 1946. She was paid less than half what her male counterparts were paid throughout her career in Omaha. She retired in California, where she died in 1972. In old age, Weber often wore her Phi Beta Kappa key as a necklace.

## Philosophy

Weber criticized John B. Watson's psychological theory of behaviorism. A biographer of Weber, Lara Handsfield of Illinois State University, has written that Weber made use of emotionality that society would accept from women of the day as a philosophical example to challenge assertions of Watson's about how the mind works, a clever yet socially acceptable means of critiquing one of the world's foremost psychologists.

## Personal life

Weber was a feminist who supported women's suffrage. She enjoyed bicycling and basketball.

title: Pearl Laska Chamberlain

abstract: Pearl Laska Chamberlain was an American woman pilot. She learned to fly in a Kinner Fleet bi-plane in 1933 and held a pilot’s certificate until she was 97. Prior to World War II, the federal government established the Civilian Pilot Training Program, a back-door method to train pilots for military service. One of eight children born to John W. and Lanie C. Bragg, she joined the WASPs during WWII and was honorably discharged. In 1944, following her dream to be a full-time pilot, Pearl moved to Nome, Alaska and worked as a flight instructor and bush pilot. Her adventures as a pilot involved everything from Powder Puff Derbies to filling her tank with water instead of gasoline. The next year she became the first woman to solo a single-engine airplane up the Alaska Highway. The FAA recognized her achievements as a pioneer Alaska aviator in 2006. Scorning the belief that Alaska Natives were unable to learn flying, she taught many, including Holger Jorgensen, who became the first Native hired as a pilot by a scheduled airline. She held a pilot's certificate until she was 97 and was a lifetime member of the Ninety Nines. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Alaska in 1955, and her master's degree from Miami University of Ohio in 1959.

# Forgotten Toys

***Forgotten Toys*** is the debut studio album by David Paich, keyboardist/vocalist of the American rock band Toto. In 2022, Paich announced his debut solo album and it was released by the Players Club (Mascot Label Group) on August 19, 2022. On June 9, 2022, he released the first single titled "Spirit of the Moonrise". Paich said he plans to release more in the future and he has "some stuff lying around here", and is often "slow" because he is "methodical and a perfectionist, sometimes too much...".

## Background

During the initial COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, Paich revisited some old songs and ideas that he had "carried in his head for years". This is where the title of the album comes from. This album features Joseph Williams as co-producer and sometimes co-vocalist, Steve Lukather, Brian Eno, Michael McDonald, Ray Parker Jr., Don Felder, and Steve Jordan. "All the Tears That Shine" was originally featured on the 2015 Toto album *Toto XIV*, which featured David Paich on vocals. This version of the song features co-writer Michael Sherwood on vocals. Paich said that the album art was done by his wife, Lorraine, who was inspired after hearing Paich's original title for the album, 'Broken Toys'. She has previous experience in tabletop design for food commercials and was previously a food stylist.

title: Fort Horsted

abstract: Fort Horsted is a scheduled monument that lies in the Horsted Valley to the South of Chatham, Kent, England. It is a late 19th-century Land Fort, and one of six constructed around Chatham and Gillingham, Kent to protect HM Dockyard Chatham from attack. Originally proposed in the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom Report, published in 1860, it and the other land defences were omitted as part of general cost cutting with only the coastal defences on the River Medway being retained and completed under the original 1860 proposals. It was not until the mid-1870s that a revised programme was accepted, which included the construction of a convict prison at Borstal, Rochester, to provide low cost labour for the construction of a line of four forts, Fort Borstal, Fort Bridgewood, Fort Horsted and Fort Luton. Its construction started in 1879 and was complete by 1889 after much delay.

**Fort Horsted** is a scheduled monument (Monument Number 416040) that lies in the Horsted Valley to the South of Chatham, Kent, England. It is a late 19th-century Land Fort, and one of six constructed around Chatham and Gillingham, Kent to protect HM Dockyard Chatham from attack. Originally proposed in the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom Report, published in 1860, it and the other land defences were omitted as part of general cost cutting with only the coastal defences on the River Medway being retained and completed under the original 1860 proposals. It was not until the mid-1870s that a revised programme was accepted, which included the construction of a convict prison at Borstal, Rochester, to provide low cost labour for the construction of a line of four forts, Fort Borstal, Fort Bridgewood, Fort Horsted and Fort Luton (a further three forts were constructed with the use of convict labour). Its construction started in 1879 and was complete by 1889 after much delay.

## Materials

The fort was constructed almost entirely of concrete, topped with chalk and earth with no visible concrete exposed from the outside, except from the gorge or rear of the fort. The ditch was protected by two single and one double counterscarp galleries.

## Armaments

Although the original plans of the fort proposed fixed armament, by its completion there had been a shift away from fixed armament to moveable guns. The fort would not been armed, unless actual threat materialised and then with moveable field artillery. In the event of actual invasion and an attack on HM Dockyard Chatham, additional field defence would have augmented the forts, with trenches and battery positions. In fact in 1907 during summer manoeuvres such defences were probably constructed.

## World wars

Deemed to have become obsolete by 1910, the fort formed part of Chatham's land defences in both World Wars. In World War I brick emplacements and a pillbox were built on the ramparts, and fixed anti-aircraft guns of an early type were installed (possibly 12-pdr coastal defence guns on improvised high-angle mountings, not be confused with the later naval version).

## The name

The fort was named after a local hamlet. Horsted is speculated to have been named after the legendary Saxon warrior Horsa, who was killed at nearby Aylesford while fighting the Britons.

## The fort today

The fort survives relatively intact and is currently in use as a business park. While it is in relatively good condition, its commercial use has seen some new construction and modification which has seen the significant loss of the original structure and features.

# Peary Rader

**Peary Rader** (October 17, 1909 – November 24, 1991) was an American early bodybuilder, Olympic lifter, writer, and magazine publisher from Nebraska. He was the founding publisher of *Iron Man* from 1936 to 1986.

## Early life

Rader was born on October 17, 1909, in Peru, Nebraska. He grew up near Hemingford in Box Butte County, Nebraska. He started lifting weights as a teenager and later shifted his emphasis to heavy, high repetition squats, building his bodyweight up to 210 pounds within about a year (he eventually reached 220 pounds).

## Career

Rader was victorious in a number of local and regional weightlifting contests, and also became proficient at a number of other lifts (such as the one-hand clean) and feats of strength. Rader was the Midwestern Heavyweight Champion for seven years, with official lifts of 220 pounds in the one-hand clean and jerk, 280 pounds in the two-hand clean and jerk, and a squat of 450 pounds (without support gear).

Rader founded *Iron Man*, a bodybuilding magazine, in 1936. It was initially called *Your Physique*. At its peak, the magazine had a circulation of 40,000. Rader published *Iron Man* through the September 1986 issue, which included a number of letters from prominent people in the field to celebrate the magazine's fiftieth anniversary. In 1986, Rader sold the magazine to John Balik, who repositioned it as a hard-core bodybuilding magazine. Rader also published *Lifting News* for many years. He authored approximately 1,300 magazine articles; most were in *Iron Man*, but some were also published in *Strength Athlete*.

Rader was the chairman of the National Body Building Association. He was inducted into the Body Building Hall of Fame and the Power Lifting Hall of Fame. In the 1950s, alongside Bob Hoffman and Joe Weider, Rader was a "pioneer" in the commercialization of protein as a bodybuilding supplement.

## Personal life and death

Rader married the former Mabel Kirchner in 1936; they had two sons, Jack and Gene.

Rader died on November 24, 1991, in Alliance, Nebraska, at the age of 82.

In 1999 she took on the leadership of the newly created Henry Moore Institute and devised an innovative programme combining collections, research and exhibitions. i. Here, Curtis notably supervised the development of the archive collections of sculptors' papers as well as the acquisition of significant works by Rodin, Epstein and Calder, among many others. As well as presenting solo shows of contemporary artists the Institute became known for thematic exhibitions examining material and cultural histories, including 'Bronze', 'The Colour of Sculpture', 'Depth of Field' and 'Wonder'. Curtis also confronted sculpture's links with Fascism in two exhibitions: 'Taking Positions' and 'Scultura Lingua Morta'.

Curtis left the Henry Moore Foundation in 2010 to take on the direction of Tate Britain. She worked with architects Caruso St John on the Millbank project and oversaw the acclaimed new hang, entitled a 'Walk through British Art', and the related Spotlight galleries, each with a different focus on the collection. Other exhibitions drawing on the collection included 'Migrations', 'Kenneth Clark', 'Artist & Empire' and 'Queer British Art'. As Director of Tate Britain Curtis was chair of the Jury of the Turner Prize. She has also served on the Advisory Committee for the Government Art Collection, the Art Commissions Committee for the Imperial War Museum and the Faculty of the British School at Rome. She recently completed two terms as a member of the Conseil d'Administration of the Rodin Museum in Paris. She is on the Advisory Board of the Museo d'arte della Svizzera italiana and of the Sculpture Journal.

In March 2015, Curtis announced that she would leave London's Tate Britain to take up an invitation to create one museum from the amalgamation of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum with the Modern Art Centre. As the first non-Portuguese Director of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum she worked to increase its international profile, while creating dialogues between the Middle Eastern collections, contemporary artists, and new audiences. .

Commenting on her reasons for moving to Lisbon, Curtis said that she was attracted by the 'Gulbenkian's exceptional architecture, landscaped setting and museography', which led to her exhibition and catalogue 'Art on Display' (2019). (The Gulbenkian Museum has eleven curators and around half a million visitors a year. Its smaller scale than the Tate makes it easier to effect changes, even if the Gulbenkian Foundation occupies an almost governmental position within Portuguese society. The amalgamation of the two museums vastly increased the numbers going to the ex-Centro de Arte Moderna and helped with cross-fertilisation.)

Responding to the fact that a small number of male art critics took against her in London, Curtis commented that 'Nick Serota and other people saw it as misogyny'. Tate Britain has also suffered in general from priority being given to Tate Modern.

Curtis used her time in Lisbon to appoint a curator of the Middle Eastern Collections and to integrate works from Syria, Jordan and Turkey with works from Western Europe in a new "crossings gallery". She also programmed 'The Rise of Islamic Art' to deal with the founder's close interaction with the rise of the oil industry. Curtis noted that even this small new gallery would be a significant change for the museum which was founded in 1969 and changed little thereafter. Contemporary shows have also been curated in and with the founder's collection, and other 'Conversation' exhibitions have sought to open up new dialogues. Curtis noted that with an annual acquisitions budget of 500,000 Euros for the acquisition of new art it would be necessary for the museum to concentrate primarily on Portuguese art and to place it within a wider context. This has meant looking also at Portugal's colonial links and wider diaspora.

Curtis concluded her term as director in 2020. and in the spring of 2021, took up the Edmund J. Safra Visiting Professorship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art in order to develop her research into the crossovers between sculpture and architecture in the later 20th century.

Curtis has a particular interest in inter-war art and architecture and contemporary art, on which she has written widely. She is a regular speaker, delivering the 2015 Paul Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery and Yale (published 2017 by Yale) and has also spoken at the Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim and at universities in the UK and abroad.

# Foster's Daily Democrat

***Foster's Daily Democrat*** is a six-day (Monday–Saturday) morning broadsheet newspaper published in Dover, New Hampshire, United States, covering southeast New Hampshire and southwest Maine.

In addition to its Dover headquarters, *Foster's* maintains news bureaus in Rochester and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

## History and politics

Founded by Joshua L. Foster on June 18, 1873, the paper was named after the U.S. Democratic Party, which then was the conservative and less-popular party in New England. Foster was already known, by then, as a political firebrand and an explicit opponent of President Lincoln; one of his previous publishing ventures had been the *States and Union*, a pro-slavery paper in nearby Portsmouth, New Hampshire, during the American Civil War.

*Foster's Daily Democrat* for most of its history was a right-leaning paper but in recent years it has gone far to the left, endorsing Democratic candidates and supporting left-leaning political issues. As recent as 2000, however, *Foster's* endorsed George W. Bush in the New Hampshire primary, although the paper backed no one in the general election. It also endorsed District 1 Congressman Jeb Bradley on a number of occasions and it is considered rare for a Democratic candidate to get an endorsement from *Foster's*. Foster's is in favor of the death penalty.

In the 2004 New Hampshire Democratic primary, the paper endorsed Joe Lieberman, generally considered a more conservative Democrat. Yet its editorial stated that readers should be "absolutely clear on one thing. *Foster's Daily Democrat* remains fully supportive of President Bush."

In 1988, editor Rodney G. Doherty described himself as a "black sheep" of journalism and said he edits "a blue-collar paper." He said he prefers a hard-news, top-down style of newsroom management, with young reporters filing several quick stories based on assignments from editors, rather than longer, more analytical pieces. He said likes to see reporters write about "what *is* news, rather than what they think is the news."

Colin Manning, who wrote *Foster's* statehouse notebook, later went on to be New Hampshire governor John Lynch's communications director.

As of 2009, Doherty is the executive editor of the paper. The managing editor is Mary Pat Rowland. The assistant managing editor is Mike Gillis. The editorial page editor is Jon Breen.

*Foster's Daily Democrat* was an afternoon publication for 135 years until November 26, 2007, when it switched to morning publication. At the time, Doherty said morning publication would be more convenient for readers, and would allow the paper to update its Website earlier in the day.

In 2014, the Geo. J. Foster Company sold its assets, including *Foster's*, to Local Media Group. Local Media Group was later merged into GateHouse Media.

In 2016, the paper endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

## News and features

*Foster's* news focus is mainly on local public meetings and police reporting with community features and local sports also included. Regular features include advice columns, stock tables, classified advertising, comic strips, obituaries, television listings and local lottery numbers. The newspaper also carries entertainment, world and national news from the Associated Press, as well as both AP and locally generated sports stories.

Sections and pullouts for the daily paper include main news and an award-winning sports section every day, plus:

* *Local* page, every day, which includes Tri-City (Dover, Rochester and Somersworth area news) This page, following a redesign that was completed in November 2007, now constitutes Page B1 daily (Mon-Sat)
* *Coast* page, every day, which covers the greater Portsmouth area. This page was also part of the redesign in 2007 and runs on Page A3 daily (Mon-Sat)
* *Education* page, Thursday, with local education news and honor rolls
* *Community Weekend*, Friday, with event and religion listings
* *Showcase*, Thursday, with local arts and entertainment news
* *Your Home*, a local real estate section

## Sisters and competitors

*Foster's* competed head-to-head with *The Portsmouth Herald*, a daily newspaper based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In response to the *Herald* taking a chip out of Foster's Portsmouth market, *Foster's* printed a *Portsmouth Region* page on page A3 or A5. The parent company of the *Herald* acquired *Foster's*. *Foster's* also competes with the statewide daily *New Hampshire Union Leader* and its sister Sunday paper, *New Hampshire Sunday News*.

In the late 1990s, the Geo. J. Foster Company launched *Foster's Sunday Citizen* to compete with *Herald Sunday* and the *New Hampshire Sunday News.* The Sunday paper was a joint venture by *Foster's* and its sister paper in Laconia, New Hampshire, *The Citizen*, also owned by Geo. J. Foster Company. The Foster company sold *The Citizen* to Eagle Publishing in June 2010.

# Fort Massac

**Fort Massac** (or **Fort Massiac**) is a French colonial and early National-era fort on the Ohio River in Massac County, Illinois, United States.

Its site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

## History

The Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto and his soldiers may have built a fort nearby as early as 1540. Maps from the early 18th century show an "Ancien Fort" ("Old Fort") near this location.

Fort Massac was built by the French in 1757, during the French and Indian War and was originally called "Fort de L’Ascension." The name was changed in 1759, to honor of Claud Louis d'Espinchal, Marquis de Massiac, the French Naval Minister. Massiac is a French town in the Cantal department.

The French left the fort at the conclusion of the war, and it was destroyed by the Chickasaw sometime after 1763. In 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, Colonel George Rogers Clark led his regiment of "Long Knives" into Illinois near the site of the fort at Massac Creek. The fort was rebuilt in 1794, during the Northwest Indian War.

In the fall of 1803, the Lewis and Clark Expedition stopped at Fort Massac on its way west, recruiting two volunteers.

In 1805, General James Wilkinson and Vice President Aaron Burr held discussions at the fort. It is unclear, what connection this meeting may have had to the unfolding Burr Conspiracy (1806–1807), but as an important river fort in what was then the western United States, the fort was connected to several events related to the conspiracy.

The Fort was repaired after being damaged in the 1811–12 New Madrid earthquakes, but it was decommissioned in 1814.

## State park and historic site

The Fort Massac site became the first Illinois state park in 1908. In the 1970s, a partial reconstruction of the 1794 U.S. Army fort was built, but in 2002, it was torn down, and a smaller but more detailed version fort as it appeared in 1802 was reconstructed.

Each fall, reenactors gather for the Fort Massac Encampment, which interprets life in the 18th century. A visitor center just north of the reconstruction includes a museum with Indian artifacts, mannequins in period clothing, and other exhibits that explain the history of the fort.

The tunnel was constructed in 1913 and opened to rail traffic in 1914. The east portal is near the north end of Van Ness Avenue; the west portal feeds onto Marina Boulevard at Laguna Street.

## History

The tunnel's construction served several purposes. The rail link supplied goods and mass transit to the Panama Pacific International Exposition the following year; the U.S. Army utilized the line for construction of the port of embarkation at Fort Mason. The tunnel operated as part of the State Belt Railroad until the route's suspension in 1993. A portion of the movie *Dirty Harry* was filmed on either side of the tunnel in 1971.

title: Yituanheqi

abstract: Yituanheqi (simplified Chinese: 一团和气; traditional Chinese: 一團和氣; pinyin: Yītuán Héqì) is a gongbi picture by Chenghua Emperor. The painting depicts Tao Yuanming, Lu Xiujing, and Zen Master Hui Yuan embracing each other, with the three, together, looking like Maitreya. This painting reflects the traditional Chinese syncretic concept of the amalgamation of the three teachings. In concept, it was similar to the anecdotal tale of Three laughs at Tiger Brook.
