Josiah Brown of the town and county of Madison, being duly sworn deposith and saith ”That he was a volunteer soldier in the militia of the State of Connecticut and entered the service of the United States in that capacity immediately on the alarm of the Battle of Lexington which was in the year One thousand and seventy-five—that he continued in that serve in the capacity of sargeant until the next year when he was appointed by Governor Trumbull an Ensign in which capacity he continued to serve his country until the winter of seventeen hundred and seventy seven, when he was appointed by the Continental Congress of the United States, a Lieutenant in the half battalion in the Connecticut line, which half battalion was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Miegs in a Regiment under the command of Colonel Henry Sherburne—that his captain was Elijah Blackman, in which capacity he served in the army of the United States until the spring of the years seventeen hundred and eighty at which time an application to General George Washington, he received by his order an honorable discharge at Morristown in the state of New Jersey.
The deponant further saith that in the year of 1796, while living near where he now resides his dwelling house accidentally caught fire, which together with its contents was consumed, that in it were his commissions, militia and continental, together with his discharge and all his military papers, consisting of journals, copies of orders, notes and memoranda of dates and every paper relating to his service in the Army of the United States, all of which were destroyed so that this deponant is unable from any document in his possession to be precise as to dates. Deponant is however from his recollection confident that he is correct as to years and seasons from his recollection. He is further confident that his continental commission was signed by John Hancock, president of congress.
This deponant further saith that he is now seventy-three years of age, is infirm and unable to support himself—that he has a second wife by whom he has four children, the oldest of whom is but fourteen years of age—that he has no property whatever and that for his own support and that of his family he has no reliance but upon his own labor and the assistance of his children by his first marriage, all of whom are in indigent circumstances and that he needs the sustenance of his country for his support. This deponant further saith that he has never received a pension from the United States nor has he ever until now applied for one and further saith not sworn and subscribed before me on this 9th day of April 1818

This antique hand-painted document box, circa late 18th to early 19th Century, might have been part of a dowry. It ended up back where it came from, at the Allis Bushnell House. It was originally Chloe Scranton’s (Bushnell) box. We have a picture of her at flic.kr/p/SbCgS5.

Blocked with no opportunity for defense or recourse. Facebook's reporting policy sucks & that's why people abuse it daily. Violence is OK but a burlesque performer doing a tribute at an anti-violence public rally is not OK. Fuck that. I'm not staying quiet about your BS protection of cyber bullies. It's wrong & I stand up to that kind of injustice. I'm well known for my bold, hard stances on issues that are important to me.
They blocked me after a prude reported several of my pics as being obscene. It's a huge double standard on that site & there's zero recourse for photogs or other creative artists if anyone finds your work "offensive".
FB allowed a vid of a woman being beheaded, that was up for over a month. They won't remove pages that show animal or child abuse with graphic images. However if an empowered woman does a burlesque tribute performance at a public annual rally on government grounds (BC Legislature Building), photos of that are deemed obscene. I was blocked for that BS. I am not staying quiet either.
Their site allows bullies to sit behind computers & abuse the report feature. If you ask them for help if someone is harassing you or clearly attacking you from multiple accounts - they refuse to help unless you have a court order. Can we say FUCKED UP?
I document real life & if that is offensive, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What happened to me, can happen to anyone who uses that site if you dare to take a stand on your beliefs & values. I am not bowing down to a social media site that gives more power to bullies, than they do to the people being targeted by anon cowards.
The text of the large letters is taken from the Prophets, specifically Amos. The right column is cropped text from the 7th word of 2:9 through the first word of 2:12. The left column picks up at the fifth word of 2:15 and continues through chapter 3:1. [See related images below]

Continuation of poem from document MM00041905a Louise Curry Hart Scrapbook. Convent of Mary Immaculate Class of 1929. Louise Curry Hart Scrapbook. Convent of Mary Immaculate Class of 1929. Poem about car wreck on Duval Street involving Wilhelmina Goehring (Harvey)
This early fourteenth century English manuscript is an example of Henri de Gauchy’s French translation of De regimine principum. Giles of Rome first composed the text in Latin for Philip of the Fair around 1277, and it was soon translated into several vernacular languages. Henri de Gauchy’s was the most prolifically copied of the French translations, and remains extant in thirty-one copies, only six of which are of English origin. The quality of the illumination in Walters 144 suggests that this book was destined for a king or member of the nobility, though it has no evidence of ownership prior to 1463. The text is divided into three books, intended to instruct princes on his ethical, economical and political responsibilities: the conduct of the individual, the rule of the family and household, and the governance of the kingdom. Scenes of princes and scholars conversing, and princes instructing their subjects are among the ten miniatures and historiated initials. The book is a member of the Queen Mary Psalter group (BL Royal 2 B VII).

中国国家主席胡锦涛先生
全国人大常委会委员长吴邦国先生
国务院总理温家宝先生：
我是中华人民共和国公民，持有中华人民共和护照，户口居住地是上海市。今年4月1日合法出国来日本短暂休养，6月7日回国遭到上海浦东机场的警察的禁止入境，继而连续7次回国都遭非法阻止。更严重的是，2009年11月3日我第八次回国，我已回到上海浦东，在浦东国际机场宾馆住了一宿，第二天上海警察伙同日本全日空航空公司上海支店的职员动用暴力手段，将我强行拖上日本飞机，绑架至日本。因此，我拒绝入境日本，坚守一个中国人的尊严，至今已露宿日本国门外第44天。
我相信，您们已知道这起事件。现在全世界主要媒体都在报道，国内的网络也在传播，一个中国公民不能回国的悲哀故事。以前每次回国之前，我都向中国政府的相关部门告知，2009年9月1日致国家主席胡锦涛的信也转发给中共政治局常委。而且，《中国公民冯正虎第八次回国的公告》已写明：“如果上海浦东的边防警察再次拒绝我入境回国，强行“遣返”我回日本，这是给日本制造麻烦，最后日本政府会依据国际公约及中日法律强迫中国政府负起责任，必须接受本国公民。这个结局的发生是中国威信危机的开始，中国将蒙受最大耻辱，我作为一个中国人是不愿接受这种羞辱的，但我已别无选择。”
为什么我的一再劝告，这些当官的视而不见呢？或许他们除了自己的私利和乌纱帽之外，根本不顾国家的利益与声誉，也不尊重其他公民的权利，终于制造了一个中国公民八次被拒绝回国、露宿日本国门外43天的世界奇闻，让一个合法的中国公民遭受精神上的羞辱与身体上的折磨，让中国蒙受耻辱，给日本的入境审查处添加很大麻烦。现在，我已与美国好莱坞影片“The
Terminal”（中文译名为“幸福终点站”）的维克多一样，已经适应在机场里的生活，等待回国。
我在这里只生活了一个多月，日本官员就没有耐心了。从12月3日起，每天发一个中日文的文件给我，还拍照为证。他们知道，这个文件发给我没有什么用处，或许是让我转交给中国政府。其实，我一回国，就不会妨碍他们工作了。现在很滑稽，日本的政府没有向中国政府或中国驻日大使馆提出抗议，而将日本官方的文件直接发给一个在日本国门外的中国公民，或许这是中日外交的新形式。一个中国公民四十几天露宿日本门外，中国政府漠不关心，中国驻日大使馆官员也不履行看望自己国民的责任，去沟通一个解决的方案。因此，日本政府对私下沟通已失去信心。
现在，我却暂时成了中国方的代表，接受日本政府部门的文件。与其是发给我，还不如说是发给中国政府。我收到一份，就会转呈中国政府。每天同一时间送达的日本政府部门文件，内容一样，仅是日期更改一下。我也按日本的要求，我致中国政府领导人的信件内容一样、日期改一下，并附上新日期的日本政府的部门文件。
今天转呈12月17日的日本官方文件，这是第15份。希望您们这些中国的最高领导人能关注，督促中国政府履行保护国民的责任，尽快结束我们中国人的国耻，让我回国，不要让日本政府为难了。
此致
敬意
中华人民共和国公民

请网络上网友与警察多多关照：
我这里不通邮政，只有靠现代化的网络技术传递文件。请帮助我传送文件的网络媒体，天天帮我刊登一下，这是官方文件，内容一样，日期不同，就是新文件。也请国内高层次的网络警察，尽快向中央报送。

冯正虎先生：
自从您于11月4日到达成田机场后，由于没有提出入国申请，而一直停留在入境审查处。入境审查处是来日外国人进行入境审查的场所，所以您不能长期在此停留。
由于您的行动，妨碍了本支局正常的业务工作，本支局工作人员已多次对您进行了提出入境申请，从而离开入境审查处的劝告。
在此，再一次以文件的形式通知您，请您提出入境申请，离开入境审查处。

The BBC was the Borrowing Book Club, a club started by me, the President was me, the rules were made and enforced by me. I was a budding dictator. The club disbanded when my club members informed me that they wanted new elections and someone else to have a turn as President. Well!! I am chagrined whenever I remember that.
Anyway, here was my 5th grade newsletter. And I don't recall either the Pink or the Red jacket.

"For heads that are disposed unto Schism and complexionally propense to innovation, are naturally indisposed for a community, nor will be ever confined unto the order or economy of one body; and therefore, when they separate from others, they knit but loosely among themselves; nor contented with a general break or dichotemy with their Church do subdivide and mince themselves almost into Atoms."

Astronauts from five space agencies around the world take part in ESA’s CAVES training course– Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills.
The three-week course prepares astronauts to work safely and effectively in multicultural teams in an environment where safety is critical.
As they explore caves they encounter caverns, underground lakes and strange microscopic life. They test new technology and conduct science – just as if they were living on the International Space Station.
The six astronauts have to rely on their own skills, teamwork and ground control to achieve their mission goals – the course is designed to foster effective communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and team dynamics.
The six cavenauts of this edition of CAVES are ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Jeanette Epps, Roscosmos’ cosmonaut Nikolai Chub, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Josh Kutryk and Japan’s space agency Takuya Onishi.
