the Raschau sequence, about 530 to 540 million years old. Feldspar-bearing muscovite mica-schist forms the basis of this sequence in which thin lenses of amphibolite are interspersed. The stratum of dolomitic marble has an average thickness of 50 to 90 metres. Host rocks include garnet-bearing and quartzitic muscovite mica-schist as well as interleaved strata of quartzite schist ("Quarzitschiefer"). As a result of the Variscan mountain building the once compact body of marble was split into five blocks known as the "Altes Lager" ("Old Deposit"), "Neues Lager" ("New Deposit), "Tiefes Lager" ("Deep Deposit"), "Lößnitz-Lager" ("Lößnitz Deposit") and "Weißer Ofen" ("White Kiln").

mining of lime from this deposit was first mentioned in a deed of enfeoffment dated 1528. This was a result of lease agreements or was a fiscal deed produced under the direction of the Royal Saxon Forestry Offices. In 1567, the existence of a quarry and two kilns is recorded in a deed of sale by the Barony of Rauenstein to Prince-Elector Augustus.
The rated quantity of lime produced per firing was 280 tons for one of the kilns, and 260 tons for the others. Lime from Lengefeld was used "inter alia" by the architect ("Baumeister"), Hans Irmisch, for the construction of Freudenstein Castle in Freiberg.
In the final years of the 17th century, the Scheibenberg pastor and chronicler, Christian Lehmann, | 6,131,901 |

John McTammany
John McTammany (1845–1915) was a Scottish-born American inventor who is credited with a number of patents. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager and served in the Civil War.
From 1880 through 1892, he focused on automatic player piano mechanisms, the free reed organette.
After 1892, McTammany's focus shifted to voting machines and automatic vote tabulators. His first voting patent was for a "pneumatic registering ballot box" that counted individual punched-card ballots as they were deposited in a ballot box, with a pneumatic mechanism very similar to the pneumatic mechanisms used in player pianos. This machine was comparable in its intended use to a precinct-count | 6,131,911 |
37321465 | John McTammany | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John%20McTammany | John McTammany
optical scan voting system. Some have described this the first voting machine based on perforations of paper. This is not the case; Kennedy Dougan patented a punched card voting system in 1890. It appears likely that McTammany's machine could tabulate votes recorded using Dougan's ballot punch.
McTammany's later voting machines and vote tabulators recorded votes on rolls of paper much like a player piano roll instead of having a separate ballot for each voter. His first efforts in this direction involved marking the vote recording roll with a pencil and then hand counting the tick marks. Within a month, he filed a patent for an improved machine with push-button punches by each candidate's name, | 6,131,912 |
37321465 | John McTammany | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John%20McTammany | John McTammany
He patented several alternatives for supporting large numbers of candidates and offices. Votes cast on all of his punched machines could be tabulated on a pneumatic tabulator.
In 1897, McTammany filed a patent for a method of detecting overvotes during the tabulation of player-piano-roll voting records, along with an improved vote tabulator.
In their mature form, McTammany voting machines were used in a number of jurisdictions in the United States. McTammany received legislative approval for limited use of his machines in Massachusetts in 1893, but it was not until 1896 that his machines saw widespread use in that state. Connecticut approved use of the McTammany machine in 1895. In Rhode Island, | 6,131,913 |

Connecticut approved use of the McTammany machine in 1895.

Tooned
Tooned is an animated cartoon by McLaren starring Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and comedian Alexander Armstrong; and formerly, Lewis Hamilton, Kevin Magnussen and Sergio Pérez. It was aired on Sky Sports F1 before the start of each Formula One race. The first season, which starred former McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton aired from the 2012 British Grand Prix onwards. The second season aired from the 2013 British Grand Prix onwards. All episodes can be watched on McLaren's YouTube channel and the Sky Sports F1 website any time after the premiere. The episodes are a little more than 3 minutes long. On 16 May 2014 it was announced on McLaren's YouTube channel that a season 3 was in progress. | 6,131,920 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
It was announced when Jenson Button was shown a picture of his 2014 team mate Kevin Magnussen's character on "Tooned" and also added that 'the production of Season 3 was going well'. It was announced by McLaren on 19 October 2016 that "Tooned" would be making a return, featuring Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne (and possibly Button).
# Development.
"Tooned" was developed from the extensive media research carried out by John Allert, the McLaren Group brand director which was analysed by Ron Dennis. The show is written, directed and animated by Chris Waitt and Henry Trotter and visual effects house Framestore.
# Characters.
## Main characters.
- Season One (2012)
- Lewis Hamilton as | 6,131,921 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
Lewis, one of McLaren's star racing drivers. He loves racing, finds engineering and testing boring, and rarely listens to Professor M. He appears in episodes 1–7, picture appearance in episode 8, 9-10, makes his final appearance in episode 12.
- Jenson Button as Jenson, McLaren's other star driver. Like Lewis, he loves racing and is bored by testing, and is amused by Lewis' antics. He appears in episode 1–10 and 12.
- Alexander Armstrong as Professor M, McLaren's head of engineering. He has little patience for Lewis and Jenson, and is completely oblivious to the way they find his testing programmes boring. Armstrong described M as a blend of Steve Jobs and Q but not anyone specific. He appears | 6,131,922 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
in every episode of the series.
- Season Two (2013)
- Jenson Button as Jenson, now McLaren's star driver following the departure of Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes.
- Sergio Pérez as Sergio. He joined the team and the cast of "Tooned" from 2013. Lewis' departure to Mercedes and replacement by Pérez was written into the final episode of the first season. He left the team and the cast at the end of the 2013 season.
- Alexander Armstrong as Professor M, McLaren's head of engineering.
- Brian Cox as The Mechanic with No Name, a little old Scotsman who tells the people at the McLaren Technology Centre 'The Real Story of McLaren' which Professor M disapproves of. He appears in every episode of series | 6,131,923 |

37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
Mobil 1-sponsored Stewart-Haas Racing.
## Other characters.
- The Mechanics appear in almost every episode. They are always kept occupied by Professor M, but never speak. The head mechanic is Charlie McRae. They appear in episodes 1–11.
- The Tour Guide appears in the first four episodes of the first season, showing tour groups around the McLaren team headquarters. She often shows off memorabilia from some of the team's famous drivers.
- Baron von Richtmacher was Professor M's rival when M was racing. While von Richtmacher was the faster driver, M's intelligence and appreciation for engineering saw him win. He appears in episode 5.
- The Mayoress of Woking is the mayor of Woking, the town | 6,131,925 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
in which McLaren is based. She appears as a little old lady, and Professor M wrongfully assumes that she knows nothing of engineering. She appears in Episode 6. However if the Tooned DVD is bought, an episode hidden in the extra features portrays exactly the same episode on with the Mayoress replaced by the Queen of the UK.
- MP4 RTD-1 (also known as the McLaren Project 4 Robot Test Driver) is a robot developed by Professor M to be the perfect test driver. RTD-1 appears in episode 7, along with MP4-RPM1 (a robot avatar of Professor M sent along because the real M expected Lewis and Jenson's antics to have something go wrong).
- Nyck de Vries as Nyck, a member of the McLaren driver development | 6,131,926 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
programme. He is young and eager to drive a Formula One car, but is often forced to sit through M's lessons, which he finds boring. Nyck appears in episodes 8 and 11.
- Mika Häkkinen as Mika, the 1998 and 1999 Formula One World Drivers' Champion. Mika insists that he is retired from racing, but it does not take much persuasion from Lewis and Jenson to convince him to start racing again. He appears in episode 10. It is revealed in Season 2 that he is an Intergalactic Super Hero from planet Sisu; at the end of the season 2 episode fellow Finnish McLaren driver Kimi Räikkönen is assumed to be the same.
- Ron Dennis as Ron Dennis, the Executive Chairman of the McLaren group. He is styled as a | 6,131,927 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
faceless James Bond villain, with a talking parrot, Cosworth. He appears in episode 12.
# Series overview.

A special series of "Tooned" was produced in partnership with Mobil 1. It stars Jenson, Checo, Professor M and a new character, Smoke (three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers' (2002, 2005, 2011) and 2011 owners' champion Tony Stewart. In this series, Professor | 6,131,928 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
M is hired in by Mobil 1 to explain the history of oil and lubricants and Jenson, Checo, and Smoke are used as demonstrators. The episodes are available on YouTube, and six episodes have been developed.
# Promotion.
The "Tooned" logo was added to the back of the McLaren MP4-27 and McLaren MP4-28's rear wings from the 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix to the 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix. A DVD of series 1 was released on 10 December 2012.
# Errors.
In Episode 3 "Track to the Future", in the entrance lobby after Professor M, Lewis and Jenson pass through, there is a recurring joke of a tour guide showing visitors items in the trophy cabinets. In the long-shots, the white-suited American businessman is | 6,131,929 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned
not present, but suddenly appears in the close-up shot at the end when the tour guide delivers the punch-line.
When Lewis scans Professor M through the futuristic helmet display, his own race statistics are displayed, not those of Professor M.
After sliding around on the oil and coming together setting off the helmet air bags, Jenson is to the right and Lewis to the left. When Professor M approaches them and the camera views them all from the other direction, Jenson is then to Professor M's left and Lewis to his right.
The blue and red karts exchange colours, briefly in episode 10 "Photo Finnish".
In Episode 1 of season 2, while Jenson, Sergio and Professor M are waiting to go onto the stage, | 6,131,930 |
37321426 | Tooned | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tooned | Tooned

Giorgi Kalandadze
Giorgi Kalandadze () (born June 24, 1980) is a retired Georgian Brigadier General who was the Chief of Joint Staff of the Georgian Armed Forces from October 8, 2012 to November 11, 2012.
# Career.
Kalandadze studied at the Cadets' Corps of the Ministry of Defense of Georgia from 1995 to 1997 and at the United Military Academy of the Ministry of Defense from 1997 to 2001. He received further training in the United States in 2005 and Estonia in 2007. From 2007 to 2009, he was the commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade, which suffered the heaviest casualties of all Georgian military units in the 2008 South Ossetia War with Russia.
In 2009 Kalandadze was promoted to the position | 6,131,932 |
37321447 | Giorgi Kalandadze | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Giorgi%20Kalandadze | Giorgi Kalandadze
of deputy commander of the Georgian Land Forces and became first deputy chief of joint staff. Simultaneously, from 2010 to 2011, he served as acting commander of the land forces. In October 2012, President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili appointed him Chief of Joint Staff of the Georgian Armed Forces. The appointment came a week after Saakashvili's United National Movement suffered defeat in the parliamentary election. Critics said Kalandadze's promotion was a "political decision". The Georgian media speculated that the appointment was likely to be reconsidered by the incoming government of the Georgian Dream coalition, which favored the candidacy of Vakhtang Kapanadze, a veteran officer and | 6,131,933 |
37321447 | Giorgi Kalandadze | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Giorgi%20Kalandadze | Giorgi Kalandadze
ex-Chief of the General Staff of the Georgian Armed Forces (2004–2005).
# Arrest and dismissal.
In November 2012, Kalandadze was briefly arrested by Georgia's new government on criminal charges related to exceeding official powers in two separate cases and illegal confinement. He was released on bail and, despite President Saakashvili's support, was suspended from his office by the court on November 11, 2012. Saakashvili's UNM party claimed persecution of Kalandadze was politically motivated as the new Defense Minister "failed to replace him with his loyal figure". Due to these events, a planned NATO Military Committee visit to Georgia was postponed and would not be held until February 2014.
After | 6,131,934 |

as suspended from his office by the court on November 11, 2012. Saakashvili's UNM party claimed persecution of Kalandadze was politically motivated as the new Defense Minister "failed to replace him with his loyal figure". Due to these events, a planned NATO Military Committee visit to Georgia was postponed and would not be held until February 2014.
After his dismissal, Kalandadze left Georgia. In 2014, he volunteered to advise the military of Ukraine during the War in Donbass.
# Awards.

Intelsat 23
Intelsat 23 is a communications satellite run by Intelsat which will provide communications services for the Americas, Western Europe and Africa. It is in a geosynchronous orbit located at 307° east and will replace Intelsat 707. It was built by Orbital Sciences and has a designed life of 15 years.
# Satellite.
Intelsat 23 is one of a series of Intelsat communications satellites which are in geosynchronous orbit so that they are always located over the same part of the earth. It will be located over the equator at 53° west and is intended to replace Intelsat 707, which was launched in 1996.
The satellite was built by Orbital Sciences using their GEOstar-2 bus. It has 24 C band | 6,131,936 |
37321453 | Intelsat 23 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Intelsat%2023 | Intelsat 23
circular polarized transponders covering the Americas and Western Europe, and 15 linear polarized Ku band transponders covering Latin America. The satellite has 32 C band transponders and 19 Ku band transponders in total to provide for redundancy. Both antennae are 2.5m x 2.7m.
# Launch.
Intelsat 23 was launched by International Launch Services on 14 October 2012. It was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome launchpad 81/24 by a Proton-M rocket with a Briz-M upper stage. The Briz-M upper stage used was the Phase III type with two 80 litre fuel tanks. It was launched at 08:37 UTC, which is an unusual daytime launch for a Proton, and is intended to deliver the satellite to the correct orbit in nine | 6,131,937 |

and a half hours.
The first stage of the Proton burned for two minutes before being jettisoned. The second stage then burned for three and a half minutes. The third stage of the Proton burned for 4 minutes and 14 seconds delivering the satellite and the Briz-M upper stage into a sub-orbital trajectory. The Briz-M made four scheduled burns with coasting stages in between to transfer the satellite into circular orbit, then an intermediate orbit, then Geostationary transfer orbit before delivering it to the correct orbit.
The launch was the first Proton-M/Briz-M launch since the failed launch of Ekspress-MD2 and Telkom-3 on 6 August 2012. Those satellites were lost due to a problem with the Briz-M | 6,131,938 |

St Mary's Church, Anstey
St Mary's Church is the Church of England parish church in Anstey, Leicestershire, in the Diocese of Leicester.
# The church.
The church is situated in the medieval heart of Anstey.
Built from Mountsorrel granite and Swithland slate, with a Westmorland slate roof, the church is of Norman origin from the 14th or 15th century, although much of the church was rebuilt at a cost of £4,000 by Broadbent & Hawley between 1845 and 1846 at the expense of the then Rector, Revd. Richard Waterfield, B.D. A Norman doorway remains on the North side of the church. Some of the gargoyles, which are placed on three sides, are Early English. The church is a grade II listed building. | 6,131,947 |
37321561 | St Mary's Church, Anstey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=St%20Mary's%20Church,%20Anstey | St Mary's Church, Anstey
Records show that in 1220 a chapel in Anstey was annexed to the parish of Thurcaston; Anstey became a parish in 1867.
The windows include memorials to the Revd. Richard Waterfield (East chancel) and Elliot John Norman Galer (South aisle), and one commemorating those who lost their lives in World War I.
The tower contains eight bells, the tenor bearing the inscription "Recast in the year of the accession of King Edward VIII", believed to be the only one in Britain to bear such an inscription, due to Edward's short reign. The church organ was built by Taylors of Leicester in 1926. In the South wall of the tower is a clock made by W. Jolley of Leicester, which was given to the church in 1772 | 6,131,948 |

List of cities in the European Union by Muslim population
Islam is the fastest-growing major religion in Europe, primarily due to immigration.
Muslims in Europe are not a homogeneous group. They are of various national, ethnic and racial identities. The top regions of origin of Muslims in Western Europe are Turkey, the Maghreb (including Morocco and Algeria), and South Asia (including Pakistan and Afghanistan).
In Western Europe, Muslims generally live in major urban areas, often concentrated in poor neighborhoods of large cities.
According to the Pew Forum, the total number of Muslims in Europe in 2010 was about 44 million (6%). The total number of Muslims in the European Union in 2010 was | 6,131,950 |

about 19 million (3.8%). The French capital of Paris and its metropolitan area has the largest number (up to 1.7 million according to "The Economist") of Muslims out of any city in the European Union. London also has a substantial community of Muslim origin, numbering about 1 million within the limits of Greater London and exceeding this figure when the entire metropolitan area is taken into account.
By 2030, people of Muslim faith or origin are predicted to form about 10% of the population of France and 8% of the population of Europe.

The company made drinking glasses, bar goods, and novelties. Organization of the firm began late in 1890, with banker Rawson Crocker as president and veteran glass man Henry Crimmel as plant manager. Production started in February 1891. The plant was built on the site of the former Buttler Art Glass Company, which had been destroyed by fire in 1889.
During the early 1890s, many manufacturers were producing novelties that honored the 400th anniversary of the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Novelty | 6,131,962 |

Glass Company's contribution included commemorative punch bowl sets and salt shakers. Some of this glassware displayed Columbus with a beard—which was rarely done. This commemorative work has subsequently become valuable to collectors.
Like many companies during northwest Ohio’s brief Gas Boom, the Novelty Glass Company was short-lived. The plant was shut down in January 1892, with a restart planned for April. The April restart did not happen, and plant manager Henry Crimmel left the firm for the Sneath Glass Company in Tiffin, Ohio. In October of the same year, the Novelty plant was leased to the United States Glass Company, who also purchased the company's inventory of molds and related equipment. | 6,131,963 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
Production began again, and the Novelty works became known as Factory T in the United States Glass Company conglomerate. Approximately 100 people were employed making drinking glasses and stemware. The restart did not last long, however. The plant was destroyed by fire in April 1893.
# History.
## Northwest Ohio gas boom.
In early 1886, a major discovery of natural gas occurred in northwest Ohio near the small village of Findlay. Although small natural gas wells had been drilled in the area earlier, this well (known as the Karg well) was much more productive than those drilled before. Soon, many more wells were drilled, and the area experienced an economic boom as gas workers, businesses, | 6,131,964 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
and factories were drawn to the area. In 1888, Findlay community leaders, assuming the supply of natural gas was unlimited, started a campaign to lure more manufacturing plants to the area. Incentives to relocate to Findlay included free natural gas, free land, and cash. These incentives were especially attractive to glass manufacturers, since the glass manufacturing process was energy-intensive, and natural gas was a source of energy that was superior to coal in the glassmaking process.
Ohio already had a glass industry located principally in the eastern portion of the state, especially in Belmont County. The Belmont County community of Bellaire, located across the Ohio River from Wheeling, | 6,131,965 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
West Virginia, was known as "Glass City" from 1870 to 1885. The gas boom in northwestern Ohio enabled the state to improve its national ranking as a manufacturer of glass from 4th in 1880 to 2nd in 1890. Over 70 glass companies operated in northwest Ohio between 1880 and 1920. However, northwest Ohio’s gas boom lasted only five years. By 1890, the region was experiencing difficulty with its gas supply, and many manufacturers were already shutting down or considering relocating.
## Fostoria.
Fostoria, Ohio, is located 12 miles east of Findlay, and straddles three Ohio counties: Hancock, Seneca, and Wood. The high-output gas well that changed the area’s economy was drilled on Karg property in | 6,131,966 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
Hancock County. After the Karg well discovery, geologists determined that natural gas would not be found in the immediate area around Fostoria. However, Fostoria government leaders constructed a pipeline from a nearby well in Wood County, and this enabled Fostoria to participate in the rush to lure manufacturers to the area. Fostoria also had a transportation advantage: five railroad lines ran through the city at that time.
The first three glass factories established in Fostoria were the Mambourg Glass Company, the Fostoria Glass Company and the Buttler Art Glass Company. Eventually, Fostoria had 13 different glass companies at various times between 1887 and 1920.
# Organization.
Events at | 6,131,967 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
two other Fostoria glass factories led to the creation of Novelty Glass Company. First, the Buttler Art Glass plant, located at the corner of Buckley and Sandusky streets in Fostoria, burnt to the ground in November 1889. Owners of the plant decided to rebuild elsewhere, since the site had few fire hydrants and inferior water pressure. The second event involved the Fostoria Glass Company. Owners of this company began planning to move to Moundsville, West Virginia in 1890. Plant manager (and shareholder) Henry Crimmel was involved in a lawsuit that sought to prevent the move. Although a temporary restraining order was granted, the company moved to Moundsville during December 1891.
During 1890, | 6,131,968 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
planning began to organize a new glass works that would be built on the site of the former Buttler Art Glass Company. The new glass works was to be called Novelty Glass Company. The seven incorporators of the company were Rawson Crocker, Andrew Emerine, Charles Olmsted, C. German, George Flechtner, A. Clyde Crimmel, and Henry Crimmel. The company’s directors were Crocker, Olmsted, Emerine, Henry Crimmel, and Charles Foster. The Crimmels provided the glass making expertise, and worked (and were shareholders) at the Fostoria Glass Company. Crocker, Olmsted (Foster’s brother-in-law), and Emerine were prominent Fostoria capitalists. Charles Foster was a former governor of Ohio, and son of Fostoria’s | 6,131,969 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
namesake. Rawson Crocker was Foster’s cousin, an officer of a local bank, and president of the Crocker Window Glass Company.
Rawson Crocker was named president of the new company, and Andrew Emerine was treasurer. A. C. Crimmel was company secretary, while Henry Crimmel was plant manager. The company was expected to employ about 150 people, and produce blown glassware. Pressed glassware was also part of the planning. In late 1890, Henry Crimmel made a trip to Bellaire, Ohio, where he purchased some molds from the Belmont Glass Company. The Belmont works had shut down earlier in the year, and Crimmel had been a manager at that plant before leaving for the Fostoria Glass Company.
# Production.
Plans | 6,131,970 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
for the new glass works included a medium-sized furnace and three lehrs for cooling the glass. Production began in early February 1891. Advertising by the new glass works called the company “The Fostoria Novelty Glass Company”, and news articles called the new company both “Fostoria Novelty Glass Company” and “Novelty Glass Company. (An unrelated company called Fostoria Glass Novelty Company started about 25 years later.) The company’s products were described in advertisements as “fine lead blown tumblers, bar goods, stemware, and novelties”.
At the time the Novelty Glass Company began production, the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America (in 1492) was only a year | 6,131,971 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
away. The World’s Fair, also called the Columbian Exposition, was being held in Chicago to celebrate this occasion, and many manufacturers were producing items to commemorate both Columbus and the World’s Fair. The Novelty Glass Company produced punch bowl sets and salt shakers honoring Columbus and Queen Isabella, who financed the expedition. Some of the Columbus novelties featured the explorer with a beard—which was unusual at that time. Because of the short life of the Novelty Glass Company, and the uniqueness of its Columbus glass novelties, those products are valuable to collectors. Typical of many valuable collectibles, potential buyers should be alert for forgeries.
Novelty Glass continued | 6,131,972 |
37321544 | Novelty Glass Company | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Novelty%20Glass%20Company | Novelty Glass Company
production until the summer, when glass factories traditionally closed for two months. After the end-of-summer startup, the factory closed again in January 1892, with a restart planned for April.
# Decline.
This U.S. economy suffered through multiple recessions during the 1890s, making life difficult for manufacturing firms. After a January 1892 shutdown, the Novelty Glass Company did not receive enough new orders to justify reopening. During May 1892, plant manager Henry Crimmel left town to become the manager of Sneath Glass Company in Tiffin, Ohio. In October, shareholders sold Novelty’s equipment to the United States Glass Company. The conglomerate also leased Novelty’s glassmaking plant. | 6,131,973 |

Novelty’s equipment to the United States Glass Company. The conglomerate also leased Novelty’s glassmaking plant. The plant began operating as Factory T of the United States Glass Company, and had 100 employees. On April 1, 1893, like the Butler Art Glass plant a few years earlier, the glass works was destroyed by fire. Management at the U.S. Glass Company decided not to continue operations. Shareholders of the Novelty Glass Company still owned the land and the ruins of the plant, and voted to liquidate the property in 1896.

Cesar Chavez (film)
Cesar Chavez is a 2014 Mexican-American biographical film produced and directed by Diego Luna about the life of American labor leader Cesar Chavez, who cofounded the United Farm Workers. The film stars Michael Peña as Chavez. John Malkovich co-stars as the owner of a large industrial grape farm who leads the opposition to Chavez's organizing efforts. It premiered in the Berlinale Special Galas section of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival.
# Plot.
The film follows Cesar Chavez's efforts to organize 50,000 farm workers in California. Some of them were braceros—temporary workers from Mexico permitted to live and work in the United States in agriculture, and required | 6,131,983 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
to return to Mexico if they stopped working. Working conditions are very poor for the farmworkers, who also suffer from racism and brutality at the hands of the employers and local Californians.
To help the workers, Cesar Chavez (Michael Peña) forms a labor union known as the United Farm Workers (UFW). Chavez's efforts are opposed, sometimes violently, by the owners of the large industrial farms where the farmworkers work. The film touches on several major nonviolent campaigns by the UFW: the Delano grape strike, the Salad Bowl strike, and the 1975 Modesto march.

# Production.
## Screenplay and production staff.
Although numerous books, magazine articles, and scholarly studies have been written about Cesar Chavez, "Chavez" is the first feature film about the labor leader. Keir Pearson, who wrote the Academy Award-nominated screenplay for the 2004 film "Hotel Rwanda", | 6,131,985 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
wrote "Chavez". Many writers and producers had tried for years to obtain the rights to Chavez's life story, but failed. Pearson negotiated for two years with Chavez's heirs before he and production partner, television producer Larry Meli, were able to secure the rights to Chavez's life in 2011. Pearson says his script focuses on the positive aspects of Chavez's personality, family life, and public accomplishments, but it is not a whitewash. Pearson and the producers reviewed the script with the Chavez family. Many of the comments made by the family, as well as anecdotes told by them, made it into the script. Pearson also relied heavily on archival material held by the Cesar Chavez Foundation. | 6,131,986 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
The script focuses primarily on the grape boycotts and strikes of the 1960s and early 1970s.
The producers of "Chavez" include Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal, and Pablo Cruz (all principals of Canana Films); John Malkovich, Lianne Halfon, and Russell Smith (principals in Malkovich's production company, Mr. Mudd); writer Keir Pearson; and TV producer Larry Meli. In June 2012, production company Participant Media purchased the North American distribution rights to the film, and Participant Media's Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King were added as executive producers.
"Chavez" is directed by Diego Luna. The film is only Luna's second motion picture, and is his first film whose primary language is English. | 6,131,987 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
Luna said that directing in both English (for the main actors) and Spanish (for the extras) was a struggle.
## Casting.
Chicago-born Michael Peña stars as Chavez, the Mexican American labor leader born in Yuma, Arizona, in 1927. Peña says he knew almost nothing about Cesar Chavez prior to taking the role. His father, a Mexican farmer who emigrated to the United States, almost wept when Peña told him that he was going to play Cesar Chavez. Peña says he extensively studied historical records to gain a better understanding Chavez. Because Peña keeps his hair very short, he had to wear a wig during the production.
America Ferrera was cast as Helen, the wife of Cesar Chavez who played a quiet, | 6,131,988 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
behind-the scenes role in Chavez's work. In contrast to Michael Peña, Ferrera (who was born in Los Angeles, California, to parents who had emigrated from Honduras) said she had learned a great deal about who Cesar Chavez was while growing up and in school. Ferrera said she met several times with Helen Chávez to learn more about her role in the farmworker movement. Ferrera says that she learned that Helen Chávez pushed her husband hard to keep the farmworker movement alive, all while raising eight children. Ferrera called the role daunting.
Rosario Dawson was cast as Dolores Huerta, the New Mexico-born daughter of a union activist and New Mexico state assemblyman who co-founded the United Farm | 6,131,989 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
Workers with Chavez. Dawson admitted that she did not know much about Dolores Huerta when she took the role. But, she says, she spoke with Huerta to research the role, and the more she learned the more impressed she was. She also admitted to being "a little frightened about making sure that I get it right." Huerta has expressed her happiness that Dawson took the role.
John Malkovich became involved with "Chavez" through his role as producer. Diego Luna convinced him to take the role of an abusive grape-grower. Malkovich agreed to the role because he admired Luna's previous film, and wished to take part in telling an important story about fairness. Actor Gabriel Mann plays another abusive agricultural | 6,131,990 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
producer. Mann says he took the role because he felt it was a timely story that spoke to what happens when workers lack union protections.
## Production locations and notes.
Most of "Chavez" was shot in Mexico. In part, Mexico offered much lower production costs, and was where most of the producers lived and worked. But many rural and urban parts of Mexico still look as California did in the 1960s, which proved critical in obtaining a sense of visual realism for the film. A portion of the picture was filmed in Hermosillo. The city, which is ethnically diverse, was able to provide a large number of Anglo-looking actors to portray non-Hispanic Americans. Workers in Hermosillo's numerous Chinese | 6,131,991 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
restaurants were recruited to portray the Filipino agricultural workers whom Chavez also sought to organize. The city's Art Deco public library served as the headquarters of one of the large agricultural companies that Chavez dealt with, and a field outside Hermosillo served as a farm near Delano, California. Scenes in grape fields were filmed in vineyards in the Mexican state of Sonora, where grape-growers still drape grape vines over wooden crosses, as Californians did in the 1960s. The production built shacks in the Sonoran grape fields to replicate the housing of migrant workers in California in the 1960s. The shooting in the Sonoran grape fields was difficult. The production was afflicted | 6,131,992 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
with dust storms and a tremendous number of insects. It was also terribly hot, and several actors collapsed on the set from dehydration.
Historical accuracy was important to the filmmakers. In addition to choosing locations which looked like California in the 1960s, actors were taught to speak in a Chicano dialect typical of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Dialect coach Claudia Vazquez says that dialect is very different from the Spanish and Spanish-inflected English spoken by many Mexican Americans in California today.
The film has a production budget of $10 million, nearly all of which came from Mexican investors.
# Reception.
"Cesar Chavez" received a mixed reception from critics upon | 6,131,993 |

its release. It currently holds a 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 73 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The website's critical consensus states: "Too in awe of its subject's great works to present him as a human being, "Cesar Chávez" settles for trite hagiography." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 51 out of 100, based on 26 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews" from critics. One negative review, from historian Matt Garcia, expressed that the film concentrates too much on hero-making and avoids criticism and complexity, but offers that this is a limitation of the biopic genre. However, critic Owen Gleiberman, in his positive review of the film, stated that it "couldn't | 6,131,994 |
37321559 | Cesar Chavez (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cesar%20Chavez%20(film) | Cesar Chavez (film)
trates too much on hero-making and avoids criticism and complexity, but offers that this is a limitation of the biopic genre. However, critic Owen Gleiberman, in his positive review of the film, stated that it "couldn't be more timely."
The movie was panned by the Filipino American National Historical Society, for diminishing the role of Filipino American agricultural workers. Matt Garcia, in the "Smithsonian Magazine", went further in his criticism of the movie for diminishing the role of other Mexican-American labor activists, as well as the many white volunteers and organizers who assisted Chavez and the strike. Another criticism levied at the film was that it was insufficiently Chicano. | 6,131,995 |

Norris Green Park
Norris Green Park in Norris Green, Liverpool, England is a city park situated between Broad Lane and Lorenzo Drive.
The park contains the ruin of Norris Green, the original name of the grand mansion built by the Norris family in the fields and pastureland near West Derby. The park was created from the gardens and grounds of the mansion, although the garden is now overgrown. Norris Green gave its name to the vast, council estate built to ease the housing crisis of the 1920s on land given to the city by Lord Derby of Knowsley Hall. He donated the land on the provision that no public houses were to be built within the estate.
The park was transferred to council ownership in | 6,131,996 |

The ruins of Norris Green are all that remains of the mansion built in 1830 to replace the original mansion built in the 17th century by the Norris family. The building itself was demolished in 1931 leaving just one wall of sandstone blocks as the only remaining example of the classical architecture. Above the arch is a crest with the Latin inscription ALTE VOLO ("I fly high").
The standing remains, described as a stable block, are of Grade II listed building status. | 6,131,997 |
