It is set in the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with the other television series of the universe. The episode was written by showrunners Marc Guggenheim and Beth Schwartz, and directed by James Bamford. Stephen Amell stars as Oliver, and is joined by principal cast members David Ramsey, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Katherine McNamara, Ben Lewis, Joseph David-Jones, LaMonica Garrett and Katie Cassidy.

In 2019, Mar Novu / the Monitor sends Oliver Queen to Earth-2 to retrieve a rare element, Dwarf Star particles, which are only native to that Earth. Oliver arrives on Lian Yu and is taken to Starling City. He is greeted by the doppelg\u00e4ngers of his mother Moira, Malcolm Merlyn and Malcolm's son Tommy. Oliver steals Moira's key card to infiltrate Queen-Merlyn Enterprises as the Green Arrow, only to find out the particles were already stolen by the Dark Archer. He is then attacked by The Hood, who on this Earth is the doppelg\u00e4nger of Adrian Chase, only to be saved by Laurel Lance who takes Oliver to her bunker. Oliver assumes the Dark Archer is Malcolm, whom he confronts, only to be attacked again by the Dark Archer, who is revealed to be Tommy. The following day, sergeant Dinah Drake interrogates Oliver and his family about the incident, but is interrupted by Malcolm's bodyguard, Rene Ramirez.

The team returns to the bunker, where Adrian deduces that Oliver is from a parallel universe. Before Oliver and Diggle return to Earth-1, Earth-2 comes under attack. Laurel escapes with Oliver and Diggle before Starling City and the rest of Earth-2 is mysteriously vaporized.

The episode's first few minutes, which show Oliver running on Earth-2's Lian Yu before being discovered by sailors and taken to this Earth's Starling City, emulate a similar scene from the pilot episode. The scene which Guggenheim said would be a \"throwback\" shows Oliver approaching a woman who he initially mistakes for this Earth's Felicity, at the offices of Queen-Merlyn Enterprises. Though many other scenes, such as Oliver uniting with the Earth-2 versions of his family are near-verbatim homages to the pilot, the denizens of Earth-2 differ from their Earth-1 counterparts in many ways. Among them, Moira Queen is married to Malcolm Merlyn instead of Walter Steele like her Earth-1 counterpart; Tommy Merlyn is the Dark Archer instead of Malcolm; Rene Ramirez and Dinah Drake are corrupt; and Adrian Chase is a vigilante known as the Hood.

On this subject, Gretillat writes for example in his Systematic Theology: The doctrine of predestination has presented the most strange and contradictory phenomena over the centuries.

And this doctrine, which made God a liar and the author of sin, has not less marked the great awakenings and the great regenerations of the Church. In this regard, neo-calvinist Henri Blocher notes that Gretillat leaned toward Arminianism: Augustin Gretillat, the last author close to orthodoxy who left a Systematic Theology in French, strongly affirms his Arminianism: the particular predestination is conditional, \"relative to the acts of the human will\"; \"This human conditionality, in fact, is"}, {"text": "realized in two opposite alternatives, both precognized and not predetermined, which are designated in Scripture by the terms of faith and unbelief.\" Assessment and legacy.

The operation targeted Obersalzberg, a complex of residences and bunkers in Bavaria which had been built for Adolf Hitler and other key members of Germany's leadership. Many buildings in the complex were destroyed, though Hitler's residence and the bunker network were only slightly damaged. Two Allied bombers were shot down with the loss of four airmen, and 31 Germans were killed. Historians have identified several motives for the attack on Obersalzberg. These include supporting Allied ground forces, demonstrating the effectiveness of the British heavy bomber force, convincing die-hard Germans that the war was lost and obscuring the memory of pre-war appeasement policies. The attack was conducted by a large force of 359 heavy bombers in an attempt to destroy the bunkers located below Obersalzberg, from which the Allies feared that senior members of the German Government would command an Alpine Fortress. After difficulties locating and marking the targets were overcome, the bombers attacked in two waves.

Hitler was in Berlin at the time of the attack and Hermann G\u00f6ring, the only senior Nazi at Obersalzberg, survived. While the raid on Obersalzberg was celebrated at the time, it is little remembered today. Most of the Allied personnel involved in the operation took satisfaction from attacking Hitler's residence, and it received extensive media coverage. As the Alpine Fortress proved to be a myth, most post-war histories made little mention of the operation. Background. During the period in which Germany was ruled by the Nazi Party, the Obersalzberg complex of chalets and mountain lodges was constructed near the Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden. This complex was used by Adolf Hitler and other members of the Nazi Party's elite. Hitler usually spent more than a third of each year at Obersalzberg. Prior to the outbreak of World War II, he hosted many international leaders at his residence there, the Berghof. Hitler and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain met at the Berghof on 15 September 1938 as part of the negotiations that led to the Munich Agreement. Nazi propaganda publicised the Berghof, and it became an important symbol of Hitler's leadership in the eyes of most Germans. Hitler"}, {"text": "continued to frequently visit Obersalzberg during World War II, and it was one of his main command centres. He spent most of early 1944 there, and left for the final time on 14 July. A sophisticated network of bunkers and tunnels was constructed under Obersalzberg during the war in response to the intensifying Allied air raids on Germany. The complex was defended by anti-aircraft guns as well as machinery capable of covering the area in a smoke screen. All of its buildings were camouflaged during early 1944 to make them difficult to locate from the air. The Allies considered attacking Obersalzberg prior to April 1945, but decided against doing so. Obersalzberg's location was well known, and in June 1944 Allied intelligence confirmed that Hitler was directing the resistance to the Normandy landings from the Berghof. The Royal Air Force (RAF) developed a plan to attack Obersalzberg that was designated \"Hellbound\". United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) reconnaissance aircraft photographed the area between 16 and 20 June, and the American Fifteenth Air Force prepared flight routes to attack it from bases in Allied-controlled areas of Italy. The head of the USAAF, General \"Hap\" Arnold, decided against conducting the attack on 20"}, {"text": "June. Arnold made this decision on the grounds that it was unlikely that Hitler would be killed, and attempting this was undesirable anyway as his inept leadership of the German military was to the Allies' advantage. Arnold was also concerned that the attack force would suffer heavy casualties as the area was believed to be strongly defended. He recorded in his diary \"Our secret weapon is Hitler, hence do not bomb his castle. Do not let him get hurt, we want him to continue making mistakes\". The British Special Operations Executive also developed plans designated Operation Foxley during mid-1944 to assassinate Hitler in the Obersalzberg area using special forces personnel. This operation was never attempted. The Fifteenth Air Force proposed bombing the Berchtesgaden area in February 1945, but this was blocked by the USAAF's high command due to the difficulty of accurately hitting the target and a continuing belief that the Allies were better off with Hitler still in command of the German military. Shortly afterwards, plans for an attack on bridges in the Berchtesgaden area by both the Eighth and Fifteenth Air Forces were developed. These plans were never acted on.

These aircraft struck the area after being unable to complete a mission in Italy, and their commander, Major John L. Beck, was initially unaware of its importance. The Thunderbolts attacked a train, and encountered heavy anti-aircraft fire. When the attack was reported, there was disappointment among the public in Allied countries that the Berghof had not been damaged. By April 1945, the Allies had near-complete air superiority over Germany. As a result of the weakening of the German air defences and the availability of long-ranged Allied escort fighter aircraft, the RAF's Bomber Command had been making occasional daylight raids on targets in Germany in addition to its usual night operations since late 1944. The frequency with which it conducted daylight attacks increased over time. The British Chiefs of Staff Committee directed that the area bombing of German cities cease on the 16 April, with the bombers instead focusing on providing \"direct support to the allied armies in the land battle\" and continuing their attacks on the remnants of the German Navy. In line with this order, Bomber Command attacked German cities"}, {"text": "that lay in the path of the Allied armies and made precision bombing raids against other targets until 25 April. Planning. As the war in Europe neared its end in 1945, the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) became concerned over intelligence reports that indicated senior members of the German Government as well as Waffen-SS units would assemble at Berchtesgaden to prolong the fighting from an \"Alpine Fortress\". This was an intelligence failure, as the Germans made few attempts to prepare defensive positions in the Alps until the last weeks of the war. Hitler sent most of his personal staff to Berchtesgaden in April, but remained in Berlin. Most of the other senior ministers fled to other parts of Germany. The former \"Reichsmarschall\" Hermann G\u00f6ring was the only highly-ranked member of the government at Obersalzberg at the time of the attack. G\u00f6ring had been stripped of all his positions and was being held under house arrest on Hitler's orders as punishment for sending a telegram on 23 April seeking permission to assume Germany's leadership.

Harris specified that the goal of the raid was to support the United States Army's XV Corps, which was rapidly advancing towards Munich from whence it would attack Berchtesgaden. The US Army opposed the attack, however, due to concerns that the complex's rubble would be easier for the Germans to defend than undamaged buildings. Two historians have stated that other factors motivated the raid. Oliver Haller has written the real reason Bomber Command conducted the attack was that Harris wanted to demonstrate that his forces could conduct precision bombing after he was criticised for terror bombing attacks on cities in early 1945. Despina Stratigakos has stated that the Allies hoped that the destruction of the Berghof would convince fanatical Nazis that the war was lost. She has also suggested that the attack aimed to \"wipe from memory\" the humiliation of the pre-war appeasement policies, including the Munich Agreement, which were associated with the Berghof.

They were accompanied by 16 de Havilland Mosquito light bombers from No. 8 Group whose role was to guide the bombers to the target using the Oboe navigation system. The bombers were escorted by 13 British fighter squadrons and 98 North American P-51 Mustang fighters from the Eighth Air Force. After leaving the UK, the bombers passed near Paris.

The first wave of bombers arrived in the Berchtesgaden area at 9:30 am, but were unable to attack immediately. The Mosquito crews had difficulty spotting the targets due to the presence of mist and snow in the area. Obersalzberg's defenders were unable to generate a smoke screen as they had exhausted their supplies of the necessary chemicals. The Mosquitos' Oboe equipment proved ineffective, as the radio signals it used were blocked by mountains. The bombers orbited until the Mosquito crews marked the target. During this period some of the aircraft flew near Salzburg and were fired on by the city's strong anti-aircraft defences. Several bombers also came close to colliding.

His employment history record is also dubious, as it was initially claimed that he had been a mortuary assistant across many countries around Africa and the Middle East, but a letter from the Sudanese Ministry of Interior rebuked this: in it, it was revealed that Omar never worked in that field, and had instead been employed as a watchman, cleaner and gravedigger"}, {"text": "at a cemetery in Khartoum.

Omar expressed his desire to be punished for his crimes, saying that he wouldn't be able to control himself if let go, even denying an attorney for his trial.

Together they served in several locations ultimately in Dagshai, India, in the far north in the border range of mountains before the Himalaya where both daughters were born. This was during the British Raj amidst the period of the Great Famine of 1876\u20131878 which began in regions to the south and west and spread north. Their second daughter, Alice Beatrice Simpson, later known as Beatrice Irwin, was baptized in nearby Kasauli in August, 1877, born July 16. Around the time of her birth William was appointed to serve in Roorkee, out of the foothills along the Himalayas and then in 1879 he retired though it is not clear where the family lived until they are known in Scotland in 1886 towards the end of the Victorian era with the birth of their last child Arthur John Simpson.

The organization was about to splinter and Crowley's actions involved mother and daughter Elaine, sister to Beatrice, and various expulsions took place in 1900 following which daughter Elaine was to be wed but their communications continued between them.

Perhaps as a beginning of her career Beatrice is visible with her stage name on a boat trip November 1897 from London to Canada.

The play had been staged in London - at the Haymarket Theatre - and there was a picture published of the play including Irwin in the Garrick Theatre.

The play continued to make news in September partly with notice of the debut of the Earl of Rosslyn as an actor with positive comment of Irwin's acting by Kate Carew and others.

Amidst this period, \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1, then head of the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Faith was known in his first journeys to the West and already in communication with theosophical circles while in Britain.

His reply was guarded, but on the whole he was not in favour of mystic experiments, as he pointed out that, in order to be valuable, such experiments must be profound, and that the practical conditions of life in the West did not usually afford the time and patience necessary to such researches. Again, it was the practical note that dominated the discourse of this Eastern seer, for he insisted that, at the present juncture, general spiritual development was more needed than individual psychic culture, and that those who could grasp and spread the Bahai teachings would be paving the way to conditions whose outcome will be the universal psychic unfoldment towards which humanity is trending. \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 was in Paris August to December, 1911. By December she is credited with being in audience of presentations of \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 in Paris.

Writing. In January, 1912, Irwin published her book of poetry as \"Pagan Trinity\" and it was advertised in Britain. It has sections \"Plastic poems\", \"Colour poems\", \"Tone Poems\", \"The Music of Japan\", and \"Songs of the Elements\". She also then worked with Inayat Khan - a Sufi leader. He credits her with introducing him to literary circles \u201cat Monico by the Port's Club\u2026 (and) Lord Dunsany\u2026 who was very much interested in the symbology of Sufi poetry.\u201d She, in turn, referenced Sufi ideas about color in 1915 saying \"the Persian Sufis had four 'Schools of Color,' in which they developed their perceptions.

So, through varying ages and lands, we find man possessing a subconscious and a conscious knowledge of the value of color, and modern science is daily proving the truth of the ancient hermetic teachings.\" This also may be when she worked with Axel Wachtmeister, a Swedish composer who was living in Paris, on some projects in a Theosophical light including the lyrics she wrote for a work of his published in 1914. Irwin mentions \"I have also met a composer who has entered into the color thought in relation to music, and with whom I have collaborated on as score which is now complete\"(ed: by 1915).

The first wave of these ethereal inquiries was embodied in the sciences of hypnotism and animal magnetism; these were succeeded by spiritualism with its trickeries, its"}, {"text": "truths and its sensational phenomena. This somewhat imbalanced manifestation was superseded by the Theosophical movement, which, though not devoid of phenomena, expounded the austere philosophy of the Buddha through its teachings, and through a literature which is considerable and full of interest. Then followed the Psychical Research Society, which aims at testing and verifying psychic progress along scientific lines. One might almost call the New Thought, Higher Thought, and Christian Science movements the practical aftermath of hypnotism, spiritualism, and theosophy, since these latest, and essentially practical, western cults have concerned themselves with the tangible results of occult force upon the material plane. Along with these movements there came to us, from the East, an influx of Yogi philosophers, who taught that the secret of truth and psychic development lay in the science of breathing after certain methods of which they had the knowledge. And so we find the Bahai[sic] Movement coming to the West amidst a veritable Babel of beliefs! The rapid succession and diversity of these various movements clearly indicates that we are athirst for a wider horizon, for some spiritual certitude that shall have a profound bearing not only upon individual, but upon universal growth and jurisdiction. The"}, {"text": "conflicting cries of these various cults have left us bewildered and restless. Can the Bahai[sic] Movement give us what we need? Is it, as it were, the root of the tree that we are becoming conscious of, the tree of which these other movements have been but waving branches that have cast a grateful shadow upon the heat and burden of our quest? Since we are clamouring for spiritual certitude and repose, it will do our tired eyes no harm to rest awhile upon the self-poised serenity of this majestic Cause, for it has an outlook that is penetrating and vast enough to answer all our needs. A letter to the editor responded critiquing her history and tried to distinguish theosophic efforts and those with devotion to Jesus, though the writer credits \"The Bahai[sic] movement is undoubtedly ethically valuable, and all its main points are excellent. It is still, as far as one can tell, on a so-called spiritual, which is really a material basis. The leaders may, however, be on a truly spiritual basis. If so, directly they have the key to the miracles of Jesus they will at once begin to get wonderful results themselve.\" before proceeding on"}, {"text": "his ideas on the science behind the mystic. She later said: \"Abdul-Baha, the great Persian seer and the present leader of the Bahi(sic) movement, has said that we should live in our bodies as in a crystal case, through which we can see clearly on all sides; but, he pithily adds, 'No one can dust the outside of this case but ourselves!'\" A poem of Irwin's is used in a book \"Wild honey\" by Cynthia Stockley published in 1914. War, London, and America; the New Science of Colour. In early 1914 Irwin's brother was sent to West Africa, returned in 1915 and was a soldier fighting in Belgium and France but from May 1917 he a gunnery instructor and then in November he was sent to Italy. A three page letter from \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 to Irwin in London in October was published in \"Star of the West\" in December 1914 in response to a letter she wrote earlier. It speaks of encouraging her to publish the letter he wrote saying in part about the burgeoning war: \"O people!\u2026 Hasten ye, hasten ye, perchance ye may become able to extinguish with the water of the new-born ideas of spiritual democracy and celestial"}, {"text": "freedom, this many-flamed, world-consuming fire, and through your heaven-inspired resolution you may usher in the golden era of international solidarity and world confederation.\" A poem was also published during the year. In January 1915 a poem \"Lotus\" was published in New York state, and another poem of hers was also published in Sacramento in April, and May. By July 31 she was among several writers invited from wide geographies for a reception in San Francisco. This was followed in October\u2013November by notices that she was giving demonstrations of her studies on the art and science of color at the Norway pavilion of the San Francisco Panama\u2013Pacific International Exposition across 3 days and included promoting her new book \"The New Science of Color\". She won a bronze medal for her presentations. This is the beginning of many presentations and reaching engineers and technicians and marketing people with her work on color technology. By this time she could say she was \"Born in India, the nomadic spirit of the Orient is strong in my veins.

National publicity specifically on \"The New Science of Color\" occurred in March and carried on into early 1917. Some time between February and November Irwin went to Central America for a time promoting the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Faith, in response to some of the early parts of the \"Tablets of the Divine Plan\" by \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 which had been published about promoting the religion around the world. In June a poem was published and by November she was in Paternson, New Jersey, presenting at a silk convention. Coverage continued sporadically of her work and calling her a \"Color Scientist\" and of her \"\u2026 she doesn't merely do the usual things in a different way.

Her earlier work in \u201cColor Poem\u201d was more often called pioneering in spring 1917 and thereafter. Some of her written poems were published too. She presented at the New York Eclectic Club for women on \"Color Hygiene in the home\" in mid-February, and by later April advertised for students of her work, and gave a Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed talk about timed with the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed observance of Ridv\u00e1n. While some coverage of her work associated her book with occultists and clairvoyants others commented about her showing up in the summer technical/engineering meetings, which then became specific applied technologies of hers for which she had applied for patents that were eventually granted refining the technology of Chinese and Japanese colored lanterns. Others picked up her concern about color in the treatments of disease in Britain, as well as further coverage in the news back in California. Irwin debuted her (patent pending) Colour Filter Illumination at the Color Symposium in New York on October 11, 1917, Papers collected for the symposium were later published. And these included a panel of the contributors to share comments about"}, {"text": "various aspects of the field including Color psychology. In particular there was an exchange between Matthew Luckiesh and Irwin: In March, 1918, after Rodin's death she had published an article \"Rodin as Colourist and Mystic\" in a periodical \"The International Studio\", the American edition of The Studio. Irwin wrote of his art experienced partly from her visit to his home, specifically his Man with the Broken Nose, Monument to Balzac, and The Gates of Hell but mentioned others as well, \"all massed together in diversity whose underlying unity was overwhelming, complete, the unity of new art, of spiritual beauty.\u2026 It is the balanced expression of these seemingly divergent qualities, the saintly fervour and the pagan calm, that constitutes the keynote, the power, the wonder of Rodin's art, and that reveal the man himself as a great pagan mystic.\" She went on to note her sense of what creativity does: \"The materialisation of anything, be it sculpture, poem, song or scientific discovery, in measure the result of the impact of man's consciousness with the universal ether. In other words, the result of vibration, and the accomplished work of art or of science man's remembrance of that vibration, or set of vibrations,"}, {"text": "which he has experienced vividly. These formless messages of light, or vibration, he then imprisons in the forms that delight our eyes, and which we call works of art.\u2026 he (Rodin) translated his perceptions of occult truth so forcefully in many of his works\u2026\" She sees his work both in pagan and Christian thinking and herself was encouraged in her work by Rodin whom she quotes saying: \"This is certainly a thing that we should study and know more about. Doubtless there are healing and hidden properties in colour.\" She speculates that wings might be the symbol that most represents the new appreciations in art. Irwin's speaking out for the need of new symbols for new age was quoted at the time, and it has been mentioned many decades later. Meanwhile her work on color also was being picked up by others. Irwin was a \"special lecturer\" with the Chalif Normal School of Dancing in New York, (see Louis Harvy Chalif,) since May 1918 and on through December 1919. Irwin also appeared photographed in the \"Ladies Home Journal\" in a staged piece entitled \"the after-the-war woman in a new field\". There was also coverage in San Diego that she had"}, {"text": "opened a studio in New York, and the repeat of a talk referencing her work was noted too. In 1919 she noted she had done lighting for a couple events: an unnamed event at the Ritz-Carlton Ballroom and another at the Hotel McAlpin which hosted the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Convention using her \"Irwin Color Filter System\". This would have been the convention that hosted the presentation of the whole set of the Tablets of the Divine Plan to the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed community in America. Irwin also joined in the mass August letter to \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 for a return to America where she is noted from Brooklyn. Her work advancing into the profession of lighting including coverage of her work and another presentation at an Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) conference in October. In January 1920 she attended a reception in her honor in Washington, D.C., by early DC Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Louise Dixon Boyle, wife of building engineer Eldridge Roger Boyle. Irwin also joined in a women's chapter of the American Association of Engineers meeting in New York at the Cosmos Club in the spring.

This was held amidst a series of Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed meetings held from December 1920 to October 1922 or so, with among others Mary Hanford Ford. She may have found a kindred spirit on the importance of color, and in general in painting, in Ford as well as a circumstance of community engagement. Ford had joined the religion some 20 years earlier and long been a speaker on paintings and the use of color. Another early American Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed who explored interests in color, and also one using a stage name, was Orcella Rexford. Irwin could have also been aware of or met the early and prominent Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Lua Getsinger who also had had a profound interest in color. In July a newspaper covered Irwin's color technology. Meanwhile she wrote an article published in \"The Occult Review\" reviewing her own work in the engineering societies, her thoughts on the medical applications of colored illumination, and the importance of it in hospital settings.

This presentation was noted especially: \"For the first time in the history of the Association a convention was addressed by a woman when Miss Beatrice Irwin, an Associate in Arts of Oxford University in England, a member of the IES and the author of several books, one of which is entitled \"The New Science of Color\", spoke on 'Color Effects in Lighting.' Miss Irwin has made a scientific study of all forms of color and is now applying the results of her knowledge to electric lighting. The main features of her talk appear elsewhere in this issue.\" Irwin was introduced to the convention by William L. Goodwin, a major figure in the National Electric Light Association and the resulting crowd at her demonstrations \"elbowed their way\" to watch. She was credited with an Associate degree of Arts of Oxford"}, {"text": "and a Fellow of the Illuminating Engineering Society. Her book \"New Science\" was in its fourth edition. Goodwin underscored her work partly because it was a new entry into the discipline and necessarily brought innovation in styles where most practitioners tended to imitate each other. \"Miss Irwin's work has reached the point where she now has something definite...\" And this kind of coverage was echoed in other trade journals including ones authored by her or quotes from her talk. By 1922 she was publicized as a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. That and her production of colored light shades was echoed. Amidst that she also continued to present at meetings like in early April 1922 at an opera trust. That year she also attended some of the later events of Arthur Conan Doyle's work in spiritualism, and a book by the Earl's now divorc\u00e9 notes his persistence and other qualities. Irwin made reference to giving exhibitions in Paris and would have been later 1922 and into 1923.

A collection of letters from \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 to Dr. Susan Moody was given to Irwin in later summer 1924. Mention of her \"Irwin Color Filter System\" had made it to the attention of Wellesley Tudor Pole, another early person with strong Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed and theosophic interests who shared her work with a friend. On 12 November 1924 Irwin spoke at the founding meeting of the British Electrical Association for Women held at 1 Upper Brook Street, the home of Lady Katharine Parsons, and organised by Caroline Haslett. Attendees were leading figures in the world of engineering and women's organisations, and Irwin is quoted as giving \"a delightful picture of the American Labour-saving home\" as part of the discussion. In 1925 she was noted \"of Paris\" or \"of Greece\" now returned and come to California where she gave a few talks through the fall and winter, while again a newspaper article reviewed her work in color illumination technology.

Meanwhile she was traveling to Europe where she performed her \"Colour Poem\" in the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition which closed in January, 1930. Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed pilgrimage and color illumination. Irwin went on Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed pilgrimage to Haifa, then of Mandatory Palestine, in early 1930, of which she wrote in August. She arrived on the original RMS Mauretania, which left New York about February 20, and arrived in Haifa March 10. In her text \"Gates of Light\" she includes a picture of the Shrine of the B\u00e1b taken in April. She reflected on her time with \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 in Paris with \"many commands and prophecies on travel\" for her which she has seen fulfilled \"in unexpected ways and places\". She was there 19 days including into April and observed a"}, {"text": "kind of miracle, as she termed it, of international presence and deeds that created an atmosphere \u2026 \"a kinship with a larger life, more abstract, and the same time more intimate.\" She also remarked that some 2500 trees had been added to the landscape plus flowers by donations of pilgrims forming \"a new memorial to Death, and an interpretation of its meaning at the portal of larger life and creative growth.\" Her thoughts were reprised and extended noting six nationalities of visitors and stopped to inquire with her about the gardens and Shrine of the B\u00e1b while she sat there reading - Russian, German, Arabs, Turkish, Jewish, and American - in the space of one hour; the place of the Holy Land in the tides of history now including the harbor in the bay being modified by the British. \"In spite of modernization and colonialization the Holy Land still exhales an ineffable calm, and the deep gladness of unutterable things.

A night view with illumination is included but it is unstated if the picture was hers or with her illumination technology. At the time the three back chambers of the Shrine of the B\u00e1b were being worked on. She noted the growth of the gardens under the leadership of Shoghi Effendi, then head of the religion, and the sight towards Akka \"running out its white arm of remembrance in the blue distance.\" Following her return and writing of her pilgrimage, and before the year was out, she published her next book, \"The Gates of Light\", after July. In it she refers to the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00eds directly and includes pictures of two Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed-related installations she did in Haifa.

She had constructed a portable version of the Irwin Colour Filter specifically for use at the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Shrines she named \"The Gate\". She also included an outdoor picture uphill towards the front of the Shrine of the B\u00e1b as it stood in April 1930 with lighting she supplied,(though the picture itself as published in the book was black-and-white.) She also speaks of the difficulties of the burgeoning field of illumination saying \"I voice the feeling of many comrade and creative engineers when I say that the art of illumination cannot come into robust existence until the Illuminating Specialist is recognized as an independent authority, whose scheme, though co-operative, is based upon a deeper and more detailed study of Colour and Light than architects or decorators usually have time to afford to these subjects.

In November she was noted in the journal \"Nature\" giving a talk for the Electrical Association for Women in New York; she also aided founding a chapter in England. In February 1931 an article of hers was published in \"Star of the West\" entitled \"Cooperation - Spiritual and Material\". \"One of the most revivifying and vitalizing aspects of the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Revelation is its presentation of religion as a cooperative liberator into a larger life, a constant invocation to the 'investigation of reality,' and to a fuller self-expression, through the use of the word \"do\" rather than the \"dont\" which is usually associated with religious ceremonial.\u2026 the B\u00e1b, Bah\u00e1\u02bcu'll\u00e1h and \u02bbAbdu'l-Baha (sic), have provided us with a magic lamp of guidance with which to illumine the obscure and arduous road!

She underscored the cooperation of the body, mind, and spirit as each necessary though also that the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed assemblies and individuals could not avoid the unrest in the world. \"\u2026 I believe that as intimate a knowledge as possible is essential to the correct basic understanding from which thorough cooperation develops.\" In later May she took part in the funeral of a Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed in New York, in June is noted returning from London with her home listed in Hollywood, California, in October was in a New York exhibition, and then in the New York Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Center giving a talk with Martha Root. Irwin was also recalled in early theatre development. Books and lectures.

In March 1934 Irwin was noted giving talks about the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed House of Worship on radio stations in Chicago, Cleveland and New York across a few weeks, and is noted returned from Bermuda in late February. In April she was giving a Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed talk in Brooklyn. In early May she is noted returning from Bermuda. Irwin was in a list of speakers on the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed House of Worship in the Chicago area during the year. In 1935 Irwin's mother who had been chronically and acute ill some time died in January.

It outlines the condition of Palestine through recent history and the arrival and lives of Bah\u00e1\u02bcu'll\u00e1h and the burgeoning community and takes it up into the 1930s and the transformation of agriculture, turning the Dead Sea into a source of potash and bromine used in products and dyes, industrialization and buildings, universities, the port at Haifa and oil pipelines, doubling populations, electrification and museums.

However Shoghi Effendi wrote a telegraph cable on May 1, 1936, to the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Annual Convention of the United States and Canada, and asked for the systematic implementation of \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1's vision from the \"Tablets of the Divine Plan\" to begin. In his cable he wrote: \"Appeal to assembled delegates ponder historic appeal voiced by \u02bbAbdu'l-Bah\u00e1 in \"Tablets of the Divine Plan\".

The Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed National Spiritual Assembly of the United States and Canada appointed the Inter-America Committee to take charge of the preparations. In later 1936 Irwin joined in these plans of promulgating the religion first by giving talks on the religion in Southern California and then going on into Mexico. Irwin initially teamed up with Marion Holley, and then left for Mexico near February, 1937, where she was noted by May in Mexico City, and spent some six months. See Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Faith in Mexico. All this despite not being fluent in Spanish, but at the suggestion of Shoghi Effendi.

In 1937 the \"First Seven Year Plan\" (1937\u201344), designed by Shoghi Effendi, gave the American Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00eds the goal of establishing the religion in every country in Latin America. With the spread of American Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00eds communities and assemblies began to form in 1938 across Latin America. Upon her return from Mexico Irwin gave many presentations on the religion through the summer highlighting Mexico, and wrote an article \"Mexico's peace-poet and king\" published in the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed magazine \"World Order\" lauding Nezahualcoyotl and the native preservation of arts against mass production however much the town of Texcoco was itself plain. She mentioned having visited in June and then on into the more beautiful Texcotzingo. Then she quotes a translated native poem found which she compared to the Psalms of David and chants of Akhnaton. She also extended talking of Mexico starting in January 1938 into April in San Francisco. She remained in the area giving talks as well as writing articles, amidst which she also published a booklet \"Heralds"}, {"text": "of Peace\". A reviewer in San Francisco called it \"a melange of brief essays and verse on the general subject of peace as illuminated by the teachings of the Persian, Abdul Baha[sic].\" But the reviewer is confused by Irwin's use of the term \"planetary issues\" which, according to the reviewer. she linked to horoscopes. \"Just the same, the author is honest in her desire that more people think about peace and stop thinking about war, and sincere in her belief that somehow this might help things.\" Irwin went to the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Summer School at Geyserville in later June, which was the establishment before the Bosch Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed School. A poem she wrote about the B\u00e1b was published in \"World Order\" that summer as well, while another was published in a Missouri newspaper. She had also taken the opportunity around then to visit several California cities, going back to London in August during which point she was interviewed by BBC Radio where she was able to comment about the Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed Temple, before returning to the US in mid-November.

Meanwhile she traveled around in New England, the Wilmette area, and then back to California, where she arrived by November and gave a talk on Mexico. In October 1940 Irwin was in Albuquerque with a model of the Temple giving a talk, and was soon visible in several California cities. In later December she was visible in back in Phoenix. She managed to visit an Inter-American conference at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles in January, 1941, but largely was in the Phoenix area through December. Meanwhile she was naturalized as a citizen of the US back in March, and her work on \"Heralds of Peace\" was among the materials encouraged in a Bah\u00e1\u02bc\u00ed project in the southwest. But in the middle of 1941 she went to Rio de Janeiro in June, returned from Santos in early October, and wrote about her visit.

From at least 2005 a number of publications have picked up Irwin's effect on Australian art. It begins with the interests of Australian academics Deborah Hart and Jenny McFarlane. In 2006 McFarlane wrote a PhD dissertation with extensive review of Irwin's effect on Australian art. In 2008 some symposium papers were presented by Hart and McFarlane, where it was published that Deborah Hart traced the source of Australian artist Roy de Maistre thoughts on color to Irwin. In 2009 another Australian academic Andrew McNamara picked up the theme. de Maistre had led a 1919 \"Colour in art\" exhibition in Australia which also brought in the interests of Charles Webster Leadbeater who had moved to Australia in 1914 and died in 1934.

In 1924 Cossington Smith transcribed Irwin's \"The New Science of Colour\" probably from a copy her local library had and was called a mentor of Cossington Smith by McFarlane. McFarlane associates Irwin's ideas on color coming from Theosophy but distinguishes that Irwin was not a member of the British Theosophical Society, though seeing Irwin's use of the word \"Science\" in the title as an occult use of the word and not a mainstream one. McFarlane sees some of Cossington Smith's paintings are strongly affected by Irwin's ideas. While Cossington Smith was closely referring to Irwin's work in 1924 it wasn't until 1926 Cossington Smith was visible connecting with Theosophy in Australia.

According to the 2011 Canadian census, 599,225 people (around 7.7% of the population) in Quebec declare English as a mother tongue. When asked, 834,950 people (about 10.7% of the population) reported using English the most at home. The origins of English-speaking Quebecers include immigration from both English-speaking and non English-speaking countries, migration from other Canadian provinces, and strong English language education programs in Quebecois schools. This makes estimating the population of those who identify as English-speaking Quebecers difficult. Population. Statistics Canada uses census data to keep track of minority language communities in Canada. It has recorded \"mother tongue\" (the first language learned as a child and still spoken) since 1921, \"home language\" (language spoken at home) since 1971, and \"first official language learned\" (English or French) since 1991. In addition, conversational knowledge of English and French is documented. A considerable number of census respondents in each category cite equal proficiency, knowledge, and use of different languages. In this case, census respondents are divided"}, {"text": "evenly among the language groups involved. As allophone immigrants (mother tongue other than English or French) generally arrive with knowledge of either English or French and eventually integrate into these two linguistic groups, \"first official language learned\" is used to determine the Official Language minority population. It is used by the federal government and Quebec anglophone community organizations to determine the demand for minority language services. Specifically, it classifies members of immigrant groups who learn English before French as English-speaking. Half of the people equally proficient since childhood in both English and French are placed into each linguistic community. The English-speaking population has shown an accelerated decline in population between 1971 and 2001. During this interval, the number of mother tongue anglophones decreased from 788,830 to 591,365, representing a drop in its share of the Quebec population from 13.1% to 8.3%. This is attributed primarily to an exodus of anglophones to other provinces and raised questions about the sustainability of the community. Immigration from other countries and integration of allophones helped to partially alleviate the impact of this trend. In 2001, one in three immigrants to Quebec was English-speaking and settled in Montreal. This made the decrease in home-language anglophones"}, {"text": "less pronounced, particularly in the Montreal area. This situation is rapidly changing as the vast majority of immigrants now adopt French as their first language: three quarters of linguistic transfers of allophones arriving between 2001 and 2006 allophones arriving have been towards French instead of English. The 2006 census showed an increase of the Anglophone population in Quebec. The rise of 16,000 people (from 591,000 in 2001 to 607,000 in 2006) represents a growth rate of +2.7%, which is higher than that for the Francophone population (+2.0%) for the same period. This increase is attributed to a much reduced net outmigration of Anglophones, with some 34,000 departures vs 26,000 arrivals (primarily from Ontario). Emigration to other Canadian provinces was perceived as the biggest challenge facing the continued presence of English-language communities in Quebec, particularly outside Montreal, during the 1976 to 2001 period. English-speakers accounted for half the out-migrants from Quebec as they are extremely mobile compared to their francophone neighbours because they share a language and cultural identity with most other Canadians and North Americans. In a survey on the matter, English-speaking Quebecers cited limited economic prospects and politics (Quebec's language policies and the Quebec independence) as primary reasons for"}, {"text": "leaving. These political factors are also cited as having led to fewer Canadians from other provinces settling in Quebec. Anglophones are also less likely to migrate within the province than Francophones and Allophones. This is due to a strong sense of belonging among those in the Montreal area, the relative lack of English-language services and institutions outside Montreal, and a weak sense of identification with Quebec. Despite a lull in this outflux during an economic boom and break from separatist governments in 2003, this outmigration had returned to established levels by 2006 and is projected to continue at these rates over the next five years. At the time, this forecast made researcher Jack Jedwab predict a continued long term decline of the community. Locations. Montreal. Most of Quebec's English-speaking population resides in the Montreal region on the Island of Montreal. The population is concentrated in the West Island and in the western half of Montreal's urban core, where there is a large network of English-language educational, social, cultural, economic, and medical institutions. However, there are smaller English-speaking communities in the east end as well, notably Saint-Leonard and Rivi\u00e8re-des-Prairies.

By 1831 the majority of the population were of British origin. American merchants, United Empire Loyalists and Anglo-Scot Protestants founded Quebec's public and private English-language institutions and would represent Quebec's elite merchant and financial classes up until the 1960s; the heritage of this era remains in neighbourhoods such as Westmount and the Golden Square Mile. Irish Quebecers established their schools, churches and hospitals in the mid-19th century in traditionally working-class neighbourhoods such as Point St. Charles and Griffintown. Separate English-language confessional (Protestant and Catholic) school systems emerged, in the religious-based Montreal Catholic School Commission and Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal, and would be guaranteed in the British North America Act 1867 thanks to D'Arcy McGee, a prominent Irish Montrealer. Prior 2000, these school systems were merged into linguistic English-language boards. An English-speaking Black Canadian community grew in the 1860s with the coming of the railway industry centred in Montreal, settling in Little Burgundy and Saint-Henri.

In the 1950s, more immigration from Europe again changed the face of Montreal. Immigrants flocked to Montreal from all across Europe, bolstering the numbers of established cultural communities, with a Greek community planting strong roots in the English-speaking community. Immigrants of today come from all over the world (some have argued that they are largely more secular than members of the established English-speaking communities). Also, a larger proportion are French-speaking than before. However, immigrants from English-speaking countries such as Britain, the United States, and Jamaica usually come with a knowledge of English; Asians account for the fastest growing segment of the population, with over 26,000 Asians coming to Quebec between 1996 and 2001 and having English as their first official language spoken in 2001; as a result, over a quarter of anglophones now come from visible minority groups."}, {"text": "Some First Nation peoples such as the Mohawk, the Cree, and Inuit also use English in their day-to-day lives.

Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie and Estrie. In the late 18th century and the early 19th century, the Eastern Townships and the Chateauguay Valley were pioneered by English-speaking settlers who moved north from the United States; the first were Loyalists (Tories in the U.S.) wishing to remain British subjects after The American Revolution. Very few of these Loyalists were allowed to stay in the Eastern Townships and were in fact forced by the British to move from the lands that they were squatting on because the British desired to keep the Eastern Townships as an unpopulated buffer zone between the Canadians and the Americans.

Many American and Anglo-Scottish merchants settled in Quebec City in the nineteenth century; however, the majority of anglophones were working-class Irish immigrants. In the 1860s, the proportion of English-speakers reached a historic high of 40%. The population gradually dwindled as Montreal replaced Quebec City as a centre of commerce and industry.

Migration to larger cities in Canada (including Montreal) has since reduced the English-speaking population in these regions, but sizeable English-speaking communities remain in Sherbrooke (Lennoxville), North Hatley, Richmond, Ayer's Cliff, Brome Lake (Knowlton), and Sutton. The English-speaking population is anchored by such institutions as Bishop's University in Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships School Board. There has been English-speaking settlement or immigration to some degree in almost all areas of Quebec at one time or another.

Having no distinct political representation in Quebec, they tend to vote for the federalist Liberal Party of Canada federally and for the Quebec Liberal Party at the provincial level. In 2001, English-speaking Quebeckers viewed provincial language legislation as the principal challenge facing their community and more generally look to the federal government to protect their individual and collective rights from provincial government limits on access to English education, health care, government services, and visibility on public signs. The Canadian constitution protects the language rights of English-speaking communities and individuals in Quebec; however, since 1867, the Quebec provincial government has had full jurisdiction over schools, with only section 93 of the British North America Act 1867 (the Constitution Act,"}, {"text": "1867) guaranteeing Protestant confessional boards the right to administer most English schools. Section 133 still allows French and English to be used in the Parliament of Canada and the Legislature of Quebec and makes both languages mandatory for the laws, records, and journals of those houses. It also gives any person the right to plead in either English or French in any of the Courts of Quebec. In 1982, Section 23 of the Constitution Act, 1982 guaranteed the right of Canadian citizens educated in English in Canada to attend English schools. This paved the way for the Constitutional Amendment, 1999 (Qu\u00e9bec) which was passed unanimously by the federal Parliament and the National Assembly of Quebec that transformed Protestant confessional school boards into English linguistic school boards. The federal government also maintains the Official Languages Act of 1988 that ensures equality between English and French in the federal civil service and ensures that official minority language groups in Canada receive service in their language where numbers warrant and that supports the development of communities of speakers of official languages when they constitute a minority in a province or territory.

Bill 63, introduced by the Union nationale government in 1969, required that English schools provide all students with a working knowledge of French. In 1974, the Liberal government of Robert Bourassa passed Bill 22 and restricted access to English schools to children who could pass a language test. In 1977, the separatist Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois passed the more intensive Charter of the French Language (Bill 101). This law made French the sole language of the civil service and of business in private workplaces with over 50 employees and established the right of all Quebeckers to work solely in French, now the sole official language of the province; it also favoured a demographic shift towards more francophones in Quebec by restricting access to English-language schools to children whose parents had attended Quebec English grade schools or high schools. The Charter is generally seen as emancipatory and a protector of culture and is immensely popular among Quebeckers. Other Charter provisions, though, deeply alienated English-speaking Quebeckers. The Charter cut"}, {"text": "off access to English schools to all but children who had parents who had received their education in English in Quebec. The Charter also eliminated the Constitutional guarantee to English legal proceedings and eliminated English translations of Quebec laws. It banned all languages other than French on all public signs, both inside and outside. (The regulations for signs would be modified in 1988 and 1993.) The law has therefore polarized Quebec along linguistic lines to this day. Legal challenges by English-speaking Quebeckers using provisions of the Canadian constitution and international law overturned some of these provisions, forcing subsequent Quebec governments to blunt these Charter provisions many times. The Charter coupled with the looming 1980 Referendum on Sovereignty triggered an exodus of English-speaking Quebeckers between 1976 and 1980, exacerbating the already existing demographic decline. Head offices that employed anglophones moved mostly to Toronto, taking their employees with them. Structural unemployment in the private sector with the mass hiring of francophones in an expanding civil service limited the economic opportunities of especially young non-bilingual anglophones in Quebec leading them to search for work elsewhere.

By 2001, 50% of mother-tongue anglophones had left the province. Faced with increasing marginalization from the political process in Quebec, English-speaking community groups across the province banded together to form Alliance Quebec, a provincial lobby group that would advocate for English-language education, health, and social services. It was supported by the federal Commissioner of Official Languages and members worked with provincial administrations to maintain and increase access to English government services across the province. Sign laws governing language are a particular irritant to English-speaking Quebeckers. When the original Charter provision requiring French only on commercial signs and in trade names was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1988, the Liberal government of Robert Bourassa passed Bill 178 that made French the only language that could be used on outdoor commercial signs. This required invoking the notwithstanding clause in the Canadian Constitution, which overrode the Supreme Court decision. Discontent with the Liberals led anglophones in Western Montreal to form the Equality Party in protest, which surprised many by electing 4 candidates in the 1989 provincial election.

As recommended by the Supreme Court, this law allowed other languages on the sign, as long as French was predominant. Although this law stands up to Supreme Court challenges, many anglophones refer to the inspectorate that enforces the law as \"tongue troopers\" and \"language cops\". In addition to the rights guaranteed by the constitution of Canada, the various regulations outside the Charter recognise other linguistic rights of Quebec anglophones. Quebeckers have the right to receive services in English from all public health care and social service institutions in Quebec. The charter also permits bilingual status to cities, but only those with a majority of English mother-tongue residents; other cities are not required to provide services in English but usually do if a significant minority of the population is English-speaking. Ninety-three municipalities offer bilingual services in Quebec. In 2002, Quebec's French Language Charter was amended with \"Bill 104\", which aims to prevent education received in fully private English schools or through temporary certificates from producing constitutional education rights. Several court cases are still pending.

It is generally understood that this happened because of the concentration of the Liberal vote in the Centre and Western part of Montreal, where English speakers are often a majority. Education. In 2001, Quebec had 340 primary and secondary English-language schools administered by nine English-language school boards. As in French-language schools, elementary education goes from Kindergarten to Elementary 6 (K-6), while high school goes from Secondary 1 to 5 (grades 7-11). The curriculum is strictly controlled by the Minist\u00e8re de l'Education, Quebec's provincial education ministry, and is generally identical to that offered in the French-language public school system.

English immersion programs are not common in French-language public schools. Some English-speaking Quebecers also opt to send their children to French-language schools. As a result, programs to integrate English-speaking children into a French-speaking milieu (particularly in English-speaking areas on the West Island) are increasingly popular in French school boards, and have used in French-language private school for years. In an addition to the public system, many private schools provide instruction in English, including schools serving religious and cultural communities. Quebec subsidizes a large portion of the tuition on the condition that they teach the provincial curriculum; almost all private schools accept these conditions and the accompanying subsidy. Access to English-language public and semi-private education is restricted by provincial law to children who have at least one parent educated in English in Canada.

Symbols of English-speaking Quebecers. Jacques Viger, the first mayor of Montreal, created the city's first coat of arms in 1833. The arms consisted of a red saltire surrounded by heraldic symbols to represent the cultural makeup of the municipality at the time. While a beaver represented the French community, he added a rose to represent those of English descent, a shamrock for the Irish, and a thistle for the Scottish. Current and former towns with sizeable Anglophone populations such as Sherbrooke, Lachine, Saint Michel, and Sainte-Cun\u00e9gonde (now called Little Burgundy) also incorporated some or all of these same Anglophone symbols into their own respective arms. Subsequently, the beaver has usually been replaced by the fleur-de-lis to represent French-speakers.

The article noted that Francophone minority populations outside Quebec in the rest of Canada all had their own unique cultural identity flags and that the English-speaking community of Quebec should do the same.

However, Ptolemy I had the ascendancy during this period, since Antigonus\u2019 demoralized troops complained that Ptolemy was \"dominating the sea\".

Proceeding west through central Toronto, Dundas Street East originates near the Beaches neighbourhood at Kingston Road, itself a historic route to eastern Lake Ontario and the town of Kingston. Originally, the street began at today's Queen and Ossington intersection, and incorporated today's Ossington Street north to the current Dundas intersection, then proceeded west along the route still used today.

The City of Toronto demolished the interchange and replaced it with a new at-grade intersection. A new routing of Dundas Street to the south of the former interchange was opened in February 2019, connecting via Dunbloor Road (which was rechristened to be a part of Dundas for continuity) to the section east of Kipling.

Dundas Street was developed in different time periods and in different sections. The section of the street near Dundas Valley, today known as Governors Road and earlier as Governor's Road, was surveyed by Augustus Jones and constructed by the Queen's Rangers from 1793 to 1794 as a military supply route at the direction of John Graves Simcoe, first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada. It connected Coote's Paradise, which was later renamed Dundas in reference to the road, which in turn was named after Simcoe's friend Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, to London, the planned capital at the time, and around Lake Ontario to Newark, today Niagara-on-the-Lake.

The road was constructed away from the"}, {"text": "lake shore, and the American border, so a communication link could be maintained in the event of an invasion. This new section of the street to York was detached from the section from London to Dundas.

Beyond York, Dundas Street was extended further eastwards as a part of what later became Highway 2. In York, the road ended at the Humber River at Old Mill Road, following the path of today's Bloor Street within Etobicoke. A bridge was built in 1811 to cross the Humber, followed by a series of other bridges over the years. Dundas was re-routed in 1928, which resulted in what is now Old Dundas Street on either side of the Humber. The western section of Old Dundas Street becomes Home Smith Park Road. The current bridge over the Humber opened in 1957 (repaired in 1973 and 2009) to replace the 1907 iron trestle that lost approaches on both ends during Hurricane Hazel in 1954 and resulted in the old bridge being demolished in 1955."}, {"text": "An 1800 map shows Dundas connecting with the newly built Yonge Street, although the map does not show the route of this section within Toronto with any detail.

It connected today's intersection of Queen Street and Ossington Avenue to Lambton Mills. It was constructed by the militia under the supervision of George Taylor Denison. The section of today's Ossington Avenue from Queen Street north to the intersection of Dundas Street was also known as Dundas. At the time, the district along Dundas was not cleared.

His family left India and arrived to Tanganyika in the early 20th century as part of the British colonial campaign to explore its colonial labour policy following its indentured labour policy. The South Asian labour was sent to East Africa to assist the further urbanisation and industrialisation of the East African territories. Merali's mother was born in Mombasa, Kenya, and his father was born in Mwanza, Tanganyika. A decade after the independence, Merali's family came to the UK as British subjects.

After graduating, he attended Gwent College of Education, now known as Gwent College, Newport, where he did his undergraduate in sculpture. After graduating, Merali continued to live in Newport for a further year during which he worked with young adults on community based projects, focusing on housing estates. Career. Merali emerged as an artist in the 1980s. In his early artistic practice his medium of choice was drawing, collage and batik. Work with batik enabled the artist to question the conventional distinction between \"art\" and \"craft\", by bringing the latter into the space of gallery exhibition dedicated to 'fine art'. Another convention that Merali battled with was one of batik's decorative functions: his artistic practice consistently revolved around personal, social and political narratives. From batik work, Merali shifted towards mixed media, video and installation art. Upon his return to London, Merali continued to work with young adults and children in formal and informal education sectors, including schools, community services and young offenders' centres. Eventually, with support of Haringey Arts Council, he organised a flexible workshop and gallery called \"One Spirit Batik Centre\" in Wood"}, {"text": "Green specialising in working with young adults with disabilities who had English as the second language.

He was consequently invited to exhibit his own work at the University of West Indies, where his one-person exhibition was programmed alongside a concert by Don Cherry. In early 1989, Merali met the curators and the directors of the forthcoming 3rd Havana Biennale, including Geraldo Mosquera and Liliane Llanes. They implemented Merali's proposal of participation of five Black and Asian artists, living in Britain but coming from a global diaspora, to be included in what was, until then, the dedicated Southern World biennale. Returning from Cuba in 1988, Merali organised the works of the five artists, Sonia Boyce, Allan de Souza, Pitika Ntuli and Keith Piper alongside his own work to be exhibited in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana, as well as at the Institute of Education, London. The experience in Havana formalised the working relationship of exhibition making and the possibility of archiving through curating.

Merali and de Souza volunteered and became the responsible administrators of the Panchayat Arts Education Resource Centre. The organisation was involved with publishing, exhibitions and workshops, alongside its principal function of collecting the material as a record of those times. Panchayat focused on the growing connection of Black and Asian artists with a globalising art world, as well as documenting their expression relating to intersection between race, class, gender, policed sexualities and (dis)ability. In 2015, the Collection was donated as a gift to the Tate Library. Parallel to the research and archive activity, Merali curated \"Crossing Black Waters\" at the City Gallery, Leicester, which then toured to South London Gallery, Cartwright Hall, Bradford, Oldham Gallery and Museum, making it the first time that these spaces exhibited works by artists from India, Pakistan and its diaspora in the UK.

Following a decline in migrants crossing the border during the first Trump administration, illegal border crossings surged during the Biden administration, with over 7.2 million migrants encountered between January 2021 and January 2024, not counting gotaways.

The typical age of onset is around adolescence and may occur as early as 8\u201315 years old.

One case study suggested that neck tongue syndrome has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Eight patient cases were examined: 5 adolescents and 3 adults with NTS. All of the adolescents had normal neurologic examinations and no evident anatomical defects. The adults, who were the parents of three of the adolescents, all had symptoms during adolescence but were asymptomatic as adults.

Some of these differences include the age of onset, the side"}, {"text": "of the neck/face where the pain is located and the frequency of attacks. Diagnosis. There are two known types of NTS: complicated and uncomplicated. Complicated NTS is secondary to another disease process while uncomplicated NTS is either hereditary, related to physical trauma, or is idiopathic, meaning that it arises spontaneously with no known cause. Due to the fact that complicated NTS is often correlated with an underlying disease, it is important to have a differential diagnosis. Diseases often related to NTS include cervical artery dysfunction, vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI), ligamentous insufficiency, Chiari-1 malformation, and transient ischemic attack. However, it is thought that the majority of NTS cases are due to genetics, in which loose ligaments cause temporary misalignments with the atlanto-axial joint while the neck is rotating. Subsequently, numbness of the tongue is due to either subluxation of the atlanto-axial joint or restriction of the second cervical nerve. In accordance with the International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition (ICHD-3), diagnostic criteria for NTS are the following: A. at least two episodes fulfilling criteria B-D B. sharp or stabbing unilateral pain (there may or may not be simultaneous dysesthesia) C. precipitated by sudden turning of the neck D. lasting from seconds"}, {"text": "to several minutes E. not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis. Treatment. Due to the rarity of this syndrome, treatments have been decided on a case-by-case basis.

Other methods of symptom management have included: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gabapentin, steroid injections and cervical collars. One case report of a 54 year old woman with persistent symptoms, who did not respond to use of a cervical collar or pharmacological pain management treatments, underwent a bilateral C2 spinal nerve resection. She experienced partial relief of symptoms after recovery. Examination of the resected nerve fibers showed loss of both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers, this is a possible explanation for the symptoms associated with NTS, however, further study is needed for a definitive answer. Since NTS is a rare disorder, prognoses differ for each individual based on the suggested cause of NTS symptoms and the form of treatment used.

Rouse, who knew he was dying after an eight-year bout of renal cancer, composed the work as a personal epitaph. Referring to a set of compositions known as his \"Death Cycle,\" he wrote from hospice in a pre-performance statement, \"One final time my subject is death, though in this event it is my own of which I write.\" The symphony has a duration of roughly 26 minutes and, unlike Rouse's previous symphonies, is cast in the standard four-movement form.

Despite occasional rhythmic references, however, Rouse did not quote any of Mahler's music, as he wanted to end his symphony \"in a mood markedly"}, {"text": "different from [Mahler's].\" The composer continued: Under the final bar of the symphony, where the composer would usually sign his scores \"\"Deo gratias\", he instead signed \"Finis\".\" Instrumentation.

[...] Mr. Rouse's final symphony is often tonal, directly stated and taut, with an uncanny timelessness.

The first church building was in the block that is currently between 3rd and 4th Streets and between Washington and Monroe Streets in downtown Springfield. That building served the church from 1830 until 1843, when it could no longer accommodate the growing congregation. A new church building was built just north of the original building, at what is now the southwest corner of 3rd Street and Washington.
