Sonny Boy Williamson and the Yardbirds
Sonny Boy Williamson & the Yardbirds is a live album by Chicago blues veteran Sonny Boy Williamson II backed by English rock band the Yardbirds. It was recorded at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, Surrey on December 8, 1963. However, the performances were not released until early 1966, after a string of Top 40 hits by the Yardbirds.
Williamson sings and/or plays the harmonica on all of the songs. Although they are in a supporting role, the album also presents some of the earliest recordings by the Yardbirds, whose members included Eric Clapton on lead guitar. Numerous reissues have appeared over the years, sometimes with additional tracks recorded around | 6,135,622 |

the same time.
# Background.
German music impresarios Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau organized the first annual American Folk Blues Festival in 1962. They arranged for several well-known American blues artists to perform in concert in several European cities. Sonny Boy Williamson participated during the second festival tour in 1963 and his performances are identified as some of the most memorable of the festival. At the conclusion of the festival, he returned to England for a more extensive club tour.
The Yardbirds' manager, Giorgio Gomelsky, who promoted some of the early American Folk Blues Festivals in England, persuaded Lippmann to attend one of the group's shows (by another account, Williamson | 6,135,623 |
12330122 | Sonny Boy Williamson and the Yardbirds | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sonny%20Boy%20Williamson%20and%20the%20Yardbirds | Sonny Boy Williamson and the Yardbirds
also saw one of their performances). A deal was struck and the Yardbirds backed Williamson for several English dates between December 1963 and February 1964. Part of the arrangement included that Lippmann and Rau record some live performances (as they had done for the festival tour) and finance a solo studio demo by the group.
# Recording.
December 7, 1963 at the Star Hotel, Croydonbr
Gomelsky indicates that two songs were recorded, however, Yardbirds' chronicler Gregg Russo notes that this was a rehearsal and that attendees have stated that the only recordings took place the following night.

Releases.
Over two years after it was recorded, "Sonny Boy Williamson & the Yardbirds" was first released in the UK by Fontana Records on January 7, 1966. With a somewhat different running order, it was released in the US a month later by Mercury Records on February 7, 1966. The album coincided with a string of successful singles by the Yardbirds, that led music critic Richie Unterberger to label it "an exploitative album". Although Williamson's photo and name were prominently displayed on the album cover, a more recent photo of the Yardbirds with Jeff Beck (who replaced Clapton in March 1965) in the foreground was used. In Germany, the album was released by Star-Club Records, that had a connection | 6,135,625 |

to Lippmann and Rau.
# Critical reception.
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Unterberger gave the album three out of five stars. He notes that Sonny Boy Williamson sings well and that the album should be seen as a Williamson release "in the manner of the sides the Beatles cut in Hamburg supporting Tony Sheridan." He describes the Yardbirds' and Clapton's playing as "extremely green" and "tentative". The album did not appear on the record charts in the UK or US.

Boy Williamson & the Yardbirds" has been reissued numerous times. Sometimes the tracks were resequenced and the cover art was updated with photos of the later period Yardbirds. Questions over the ownership of the master tapes and the rights to authorize their release has led to many competing and overlapping albums. Beginning in 1981, Lippmann and Rau began releasing other material recorded around the same time. These albums sometimes included various combinations of additional recordings with Williamson, the Yardbirds' December 8, 1963, solo set, and early group demos. In 1984, Gomelsky released the first of several box sets by the group, "Shapes of Things", which also combined these tracks. | 6,135,628 |

12330197 | Carlo Zeno | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carlo%20Zeno | Carlo Zeno
Carlo Zeno
Carlo Zeno (or Zen) (1333 – March 8, 1418) was an Italian admiral from Venice, who is considered a hero of the War of Chioggia against the Republic of Genoa.
# Early life.
Destined for an ecclesiastical career, Zeno studied at Padua, but dedicated himself instead to pursuing women and the good life. He thus ran out of money and enlisted in a band of mercenaries, returning to Venice after four or five years.
# Career.
While at Patras, the city was attacked by Turkish forces. Zeno distinguished himself in battle, but later made himself a hunted man after he killed a Christian knight with whom he had had an argument.
He traveled to Constantinople, was married, and lived like a merchant. | 6,135,641 |
12330197 | Carlo Zeno | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carlo%20Zeno | Carlo Zeno
He was at Tenedos, a Venetian possession, when it was attacked by the Genoese. As the bailiff and captain of Negropont, Zeno found himself in command of eighteen galleys, which he employed in raiding expeditions in the Mediterranean.
Carlo Zeno had long since been ordered to return to Venice, but the slowness and difficulty of communication and movement under 14th century conditions delayed his reappearance. He returned to Venice with this fleet on January 1, 1380, just in time to save the city in the pivotal Battle of Chioggia. The battle took place in June 1380 in the lagoon off Chioggia, resulting in a victory for Venice. The Genoese surrender allowed the Venetians to regain control of the | 6,135,642 |

Adriatic.
In 1400, he was considered as a candidate for the office of doge, but Michele Steno was elected instead. In October 1403, as captain-general of the Sea, he led the Venetians to a victory over the Genoese in the Battle of Modon. In 1405, as commander of the Venetian army, Zeno and the Venetians overthrew the ruling Carrara family. During the course of this attack, the 72-year-old Zeno heroically led his men across a river through water up to his neck. But on his return to Venice he was in for a shock when the Venetian bureaucracy began poring through the Paduan account ledgers, they discovered an entry apparently recording a payment to Zeno.
# Later life.
Charged with treason, he | 6,135,643 |
12330197 | Carlo Zeno | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carlo%20Zeno | Carlo Zeno
was called before the council of 10 which stripped him of all his offices and sentenced him to a year in prison. His career compromised, Zeno then traveled throughout the Mediterranean as a mercenary-for-hire and married again (he was thrice widowed). He returned to Venice aging and infirm and died in 1418 at the age of 85. He was given a public funeral, which was attended in large numbers by the genuinely grateful Venetian people.

All Star Pro-Wrestling
"All Star Pro-Wrestling" was released in a period in which Square sought to diversify its catalog by producing various non-role-playing games for the PlayStation 2. The game's control relied entirely on the DualShock 2's analog sticks, although a second mode using the normal buttons was also available.
While the quality of the game's graphics was lauded and sales were good during its month of release, the control was received negatively by critics, who felt it was awkward and unintuitive. Nevertheless, the game spawned two sequels, released in 2001 and 2003.
# Gameplay.
"All Star Pro-Wrestling" is based on Japanese wrestling rather than American. The game can be played | 6,135,647 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
in several modes selected in the "Match Make" menu; these include exhibition matches, championships, tournaments, or leagues separated by weight. Depending on the mode chosen, different wrestling rings can be chosen to battle, as well as the referee and the time limit. 26 real-life wrestlers are initially available, notably Jyushin Thunder Liger, The Great Muta, Don Frye, Koji Kanemoto, Antonio Inoki, and Masahiro Chono.
Each battle begins with the wrestlers' entrance sequence. Two types of controls can be chosen to fight. The default one uses the DualShock 2's analog sticks exclusively; the left one being pressed for movements and the right one for attacks. Pins are executed by tilting both | 6,135,648 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
sticks up; and pressing both sticks grabs the opponent, who can then be attacked or thrown depending on the way the right stick is tilted. The second type of controls, called "Type B", is closer to other fighting games and assigns pinning to the triangle button, grabbing to the square button, and punches and moves to the cross button. With Type B, the power of each move is determined by the level of pressure applied on the buttons. In both modes, the precise techniques available depend on the position and distance of the opponent, as well as a personal "tension meter" which builds up during battle. At any time, the D-pad can be used to change the angle of the camera.
Wrestlers return to full | 6,135,649 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
health after each match, and the game keeps track of the time of victories and records with the PlayStation 2 internal clock. A memory card can be used to save progress, battle snapshots, and match videos; the latter of which can either be ten-second long instant replays or up to three entire "Best Bout" matches. Hidden features include collectible autograph pictures of the defeated wrestlers; and a few unlockable characters, among whom are two female models in bikinis.
# Development.
"All Star Pro-Wrestling" was announced in January 1999 as part of Square's desire to expand into more diverse game genres on the PlayStation 2 than their usual role-playing games. While DreamFactory developed | 6,135,650 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
most of Square's previous fighting games (namely "Tobal No. 1", "Tobal 2", and "Ehrgeiz"), Square decided to develop a wrestling game internally as Dream Factory was already working on "The Bouncer", another Square title. The game was produced by Yusuke Hirata of "Parasite Eve 2" fame, head of Square's Osaka-based fifth production team. The score, which was never released in album form, consists mostly of rock music and was composed by Tsuyoshi Sekito, Kenichiro Fukui, and Kumi Tanioka.
Square's aim with the title was to create some of the most realistic wrestlers seen in video games, with accurate details such as a faithful replication of body-muscle physics and facial expressions. Screenshots | 6,135,651 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
of the game were shown during the Square Millennium Event in Japan in 2000; and a battle was played in demonstration by Yusuke Hirata and a young Japanese idol later in the same year at the Tokyo Game Show.
# Reception.
"All Star Pro-Wrestling" topped the Japanese sale charts in its week of release with 107,331 copies sold, and continued to top the charts for the rest of the month of June. It was the 63rd best-selling video game of 2000 in Japan, with 185,616 copies. The game scored 31 out of 40 in the Japanese gaming magazine "Famitsu", with the four reviewers highly praising the graphics but feeling that the controls, while not bad, could have been better implemented.
Jeff Gerstmann of | 6,135,652 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
GameSpot rated the game 4 out of 10, and criticized the battle system more severely along with IGN, which stated that the default analog controls are "mind-boggling"; with pins being very difficult to execute whereas some other maneuvers can be chained with single button presses. The second type of controls was judged easier to play with by IGN, although one reviewer felt that it wears out the thumb quickly. On the contrary, Gerstmann felt that the second type is even more difficult to use than the default one. The number of moves available has been described as low even compared to lackluster titles such as "WWF Attitude". Regarding the game's fluidity, Gerstmann and one IGN critic compared | 6,135,653 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
it to the speed of an "underwater soccer match", with smooth moves coexisting with simple, three-second long movements. The second IGN critic noted that the game is more of a wrestling simulation than an arcade title focused on entertainment.
Still, both GameSpot and IGN lauded the realism of the wrestlers' appearances, their faithfulness to those of their real-life counterparts, and the efficient use of the PlayStation 2 Emotion Engine. The spectacular ring entrance scenes and the amount of blood visible during battles was also appreciated. One IGN critic noted that the referee is always present on-screen, unlike many other wrestling games. However, the other one stated that the outdoor arenas | 6,135,654 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
"look like they were ripped out of a [Sega] Saturn game". He also criticized the presence of only two facial expressions for each wrestler; and both IGN reviewers criticized the inconsistent collision detection and the lack of diversity in the crowd, who sometimes "look like they were made out of Legos". Gerstmann added that the walking looks particularly unrealistic, in contrast with the other animations.
While both IGN reviewers noted the sparcity of the audio commentary and crowd shouting, one critic felt the sound was adequate albeit less impressive than the graphics. GameSpot called the sound decent and well executed. Finally, the omission of features such as weapons and modes such as | 6,135,655 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
"create-a-wrestler", steel cage match, battle royal, and multiplayer tag team, was felt as a very noticeable weak point compared to American wrestling games present on the market (WWF SmackDown! are example).
# Sequels.
A sequel titled "All Star Pro-Wrestling II" was released on November 22, 2001 for the PlayStation 2. It addressed the controls issue by replacing it with a new, more standard battle system, and included wrestlers from three real-life Japanese wrestling federations: New Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Noah, and Pro Wrestling Zero-One. The game also scored 31 out of 40 in "Famitsu". A third installment, "All Star Pro-Wrestling III" was released by Square Enix on August 7, | 6,135,656 |
12330231 | All Star Pro-Wrestling | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%20Star%20Pro-Wrestling | All Star Pro-Wrestling
2003 for the same platform. It included a create-a-wrestler feature.
Both sequels added multiplayer tag team and battle royal modes, playable using a multitap with up to 5 players at a time (4 wrestlers and the referee). Tsuyoshi Sekito returned to score the two soundtracks. The "All Star Pro-Wrestling II Original Soundtrack" was published by DigiCube on January 23, 2002, while the third game's soundtrack was not published in album form.

Protected procedure
In computer science, the concept of protected procedure, first introduced as protected service routine in 1965, is necessary when two computations "A" and "B" use the same routine "S"; a protected procedure is such if makes not possible for a malfunction of one of the two computation to cause incorrect execution to the other.
One of the most important aspects of Dennis and Van Horn (hypothetical) system "supervisor" was the inclusion of a description of protected procedure.

E-class blimp
The E class of US Navy blimps comprised a single airship, built during World War I by Goodyear as one of a group of three small blimps offered to the US government. Two were purchased for the US Navy and one for the US Army. The Navy blimps were designated E-1, F-1, and the Army airship A-1. These airships had identical envelopes but different cars. The E-1 was delivered to Pensacola, Florida in December 1918. It was flown only at Pensacola serving as a trainer at the Airship School. A new envelope was provided in December 1920. E-1 was retired from service sometime in 1924.

Nicholas O'Shea
Nicholas O'Shea (25 April 1864 – 1912) was an Irish hurler who played as midfielder for the Dublin senior team.
O'Shea joined the team during the ill-fated 1888 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1890 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal and one Leinster medal. O'Shea captained the team to the All-Ireland title in 1889.
At club level O'Shea was a two-time county club championship medalist with Kickham’s.
# Playing career.
## Club.
After moving to Dublin O'Shea started hurling with the Kickham’s club and enjoyed much success. In 1889 he won a county senior championship title as Kickham's emerged | 6,135,672 |
12330360 | Nicholas O'Shea | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nicholas%20O'Shea | Nicholas O'Shea
as the top club in the capital. O'Shea added a second county title to his collection in 1890 when Kickham's retained their county champions status.
## Inter-county.
O'Shea was a key member of the very first Dublin team to represent the county in 1888. That year "the Metropolitans" reached the final of the very first Leinster Championship with Kilkenny providing the opposition. A low-scoring game developed over the course of the hour, with victory going to 'the Cats' by 0-7 to 0-3.
In 1889 O'Shea was appointed captain of the Dublin senior hurling team. That year his team only had to play one game to be declared provincial champions. After defeating Wexford O'Shea's team were give a walkover | 6,135,673 |
12330360 | Nicholas O'Shea | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nicholas%20O'Shea | Nicholas O'Shea
by Laois in the Leinster final. Dublin's next game was an All-Ireland final meeting with Clare. All did not go to plan as O'Shea's side trailed by 1-5 to 1-0 at the interval. Heavy rain spoiled the match and made the surface very slippery as the Clare men played in their bare feet. Dublin fought back in the second-half with three goals by W.J. Spain. A full-time score of 5-1 to 1-6 gave Dublin the title and gave O'Shea an All-Ireland winners' medal.
O'Shea played with Dublin again in 1890 as his team set out to retain their title. 'The Dubs', however, made an early exit from the provincial championship.
# Personal life.
Nicholas O'Shea was born in Tullohea, South Lodge just outside Carrick-on-Suir, | 6,135,674 |

# Personal life.
Nicholas O'Shea was born in Tullohea, South Lodge just outside Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary in 1866. Born of farming stock, he received a brief education at the local national school before moving to Dublin. After working in the capital city for some time O'Shea accumulated enough money in 1893 to buy a pub in Clonskeagh. As of 2014 the pub is still in existence and is still in the ownership of the O'Shea family.
Nicholas O'Shea died at the young age of forty-six in 1912. | 6,135,675 |

Edmond "Ned" Hayes (1875 - 30 December 1945) was an Irish hurler who played as a forward for the Tipperary senior team.
Hayes made his first appearance for the team during the 1899 championship and was a regular member of the starting for the next few seasons. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal and two Munster medals. In 1900 Hayes captained the team to the All-Ireland title.
At club level Hayes was a multiple county championship medalist with Moycarkey-Borris. | 6,135,676 |

Erwin Stein (born 10 June 1935) is a former German football player.
# Career.
As a ten year old boy, Stein started to play football at SG Bornheim. Later he moved to Olympia 07 and then, from 1954, played at SpVgg Griesheim 02. With 24 years, the striker was capped by Bundestrainer Sepp Herberger and his assistant Georg Gawliczek for the match of the German amateur national team against the Netherlands on 15 April 1959 in Enschede. The pacy attacker played well and netted twice in the 2–0 win. Due to the final round of the German championship starting on 16 May, national team manager Herberger, picked the Hessian amateur player for the friendly match against Poland | 6,135,677 |
12330368 | Erwin Stein (footballer) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Erwin%20Stein%20(footballer) | Erwin Stein (footballer)
in Hamburg. Coming on in the 63rd minute, Stein scored the equaliser in the 81st minute, the final result. On 27 May, he was capped for the second time for the amateur national team. He netted both goals in a 2–0 victory against England. When Luxembourg celebrated its 50th anniversary a match was scheduled between a Belgian and a German XI. Belgium won 3–1 but Stein scored the only goal for the DFB squad. In the final of the German championship, Eintracht Frankfurt played on 28 June 1959 against Kickers Offenbach. Eintracht won in overtime 5–3 with Eckehard Feigenspan scoring three times for Frankfurt. With Feigenspan moving to TSV 1860 Munich, the Eintracht board negotiated intensely with the | 6,135,678 |

Griesheim 02 striker. Stein signed for the Riederwald club for the 1959–60 season and was therefore not eligible for the German amateur national team. Since the qualification matches for the 1960 Summer Olympics took place in November 1959 against Finland and Poland, it was a blow for the DFB's plans to take part at the Olympics. Stein debuted for the "Eagles" on 23 August 1959 at Eintracht's first season match against SpVgg Fürth. He contributed two goals in a 53 victory against Frankfurt. He carried on showing his scoring qualities in the Oberliga Süd but Sepp Herberger never called him up again. At the end of the 1959–60 Oberliga season he had scored 24 goals, plus, in the European Cup final | 6,135,679 |
12330368 | Erwin Stein (footballer) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Erwin%20Stein%20(footballer) | Erwin Stein (footballer)
on 18 May 1960 at Glaswegian Hampden Park against Real Madrid, he scored two goals in the 3–7 loss against legendary José Santamaria (nickname "the wall"). His sportive performances were great, but Herberger never forgave him his "escape" from the amateur national team.
## Eintracht Frankfurt, 1959–66.
In seven years at Eintracht, Stein appeared 342 times (friendlies included) and netted 267 times. In the Oberliga Süd, he played from 1959 until 1963 in 107 matches and managed to score 75 goals. Between 1961 and 1962 he became runner-up in the Southern Oberliga and played in the final round with Eintracht. In the Bundesliga he had two more good seasons between 1963 and 1965. He bid farewell | 6,135,680 |

From 1963 until 1966, he contributed 14 goals in Bundesliga 41 matches for the Hessian team. Which that team he reached the DFB-Pokal final against 1860 Munich on 13 June 1964 which the Eagles lost 0–2 to the Lions.

# Political career.
He was Tory Member of Parliament (MP) for Chippenham from 1818 to 1820, for New Romney from 1830 to 1832, and sat for East Somerset from 1834 to 1865 as a Conservative. During his time as MP for East Somerset, he was returned unopposed at all elections bar one. He voluntarily retired his seat in 1865 and it was subsequently held from 1878 by Sir William's son, Sir Philip Miles. | 6,135,687 |

He served a total of 35 years 7 months and 30 days, making him one of the longest serving MPs in the UK's parliament.
Sir William was a staunch Conservative, opposed to the Reform Act and was a protectionist who favoured the Corn Law and supported the Duke of Richmond's Central Agricultural Protection Society (known as the "Anti-League"). A great supporter of the protectionist instincts of Benjamin Disraeli whose sympathies lay with the landowning interest in the Party, Miles supported Disraeli's early career and was described in The Athenaeum as "chiefly responsible for his appointment". The two shared extensive correspondence and visited each other's houses over many years. It was his actions | 6,135,688 |

as a leader of the protectionist faction of the Conservative Party in parliament and support for Lord Derby's Prime Ministership that saw him elevated to the Baronetage.
He supported amendments to the Poor Law to ensure that the responsibility for a bastard was not left solely upon the mother, as originally proposed, but would "place some portion of the responsibility on the head of the father".
Miles supported Enclosure, maintaining that "Allotments of land under enclosures were much more beneficial to the poor than a common right of pasture. Not one inhabitent in ten of a parish made use of a common for purposes of pasturage; but when Allotments were made, every inhabitent participated in | 6,135,689 |

the benefit."
He was deeply religious, at one stage putting forward an amendment in Parliament to prevent trains running on the then newly proposed Great Western Railway on Sundays.
# Other roles.
Sir William was chairman of Somerset Quarter Sessions for 35 years, partner in the family's bank, Miles & Co (which later became part of NatWest) from 1845 to his death in 1878 and commanded the North Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry as its Colonel.
When the parish church at Abbots Leigh burned down in 1847, he paid for its rebuilding from his own pocket.
This afternoon while the bells were chiming for divine service, a fire broke out in the rafters of the roof on the north side of the Church, it was | 6,135,690 |

ascertained the next day that the fire was caused by a crack in the chimney of the Store which was most negligently & stupidly built of only one brick thick and placed in immediate contact with the wall plate upon which the feet of the rafters rested. The fire, not withstanding the most active exertions of all the male inhabitants headed by William Miles Esq., whose exertions were almost incredible; the aid of the powerful engine from Leigh Court and after an interval of an hour and a half the assistance of three engines from Bristol, consumed the whole of the roof of the nave and south Aisle, the gallery, pulpit, reading desk and nearly all the pews leaving the tower and chancel uninjured.

William was Vice-President of the Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes which sought to improve housing for working families. It eventually became part of the Peabody Trust.
# Royal Agricultural Society.
A prominent agriculturalist and one of the founding fathers of the Royal Agricultural Society, he was chairman of the local committee who "contributed to the excellence of the arrangements" for the Bristol Country Meeting. He took a practical interest in experiments on his farms.
He regularly hosted the Society and served on its Management Committee as well as being Chairman of the Local Committee at Bristol in 1842 when he judged the trials at Pusey. He lent his own | 6,135,692 |

steam engines at Leigh Court for experiments following an anti-modernisation protest in 1847. He was the Royal Agricultural Society's Steward of Implements from 1841–1847 and during his Stewardship, the Exhibition of Implements grew from "a couple of sheds to an extend which even then gave promise of the vast proportions which the Shows have attained in recent years".
He was then a member of the Council and, from 1852 until his death in 1878, one of the 12 Vice-Presidents. Upon his death, his place as Vice-President was taken by Lord Skelmersdale and the President was HRH The Prince of Wales, a shooting companion of Sir William's son.
Sir William served also as President in 1854-5 when he | 6,135,693 |

headed the Society's deputation to the Universal Exhibition in Paris when he was "received, both by the Emperor, the Ministers, and the learned Societies of that Capital with marked courtesy."
In his obituary, it was said that
"...ample testimony should be borne to the unwearied energy which Sir William Miles displayed in everything he undertook. No day was too long for him and no obstacle too great to be surmounted... He was endowed with great promptitude of decision and although he required his decisions to be carried out to the very letter, and enforced them where necessary, there always predominated a frankness and manliness of character which won the confidence of all with whom he came | 6,135,694 |
12330338 | Sir William Miles, 1st Baronet | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sir%20William%20Miles,%201st%20Baronet | Sir William Miles, 1st Baronet
nkness and manliness of character which won the confidence of all with whom he came in contact and endeared him to those who had the advantage of being associated with him as colleagues."
"A keen sportsman, he was a hard rider with Sir Richard Sutton, Bt, at Lincoln in his youth (see Burton Hunt), an earnest politician, an able magistrate , and enlightened agriculturalist and a warm-hearted friend."
# Death and succession.
Sir William was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Philip (1825–1888), who was later an MP for East Somerset. He was uncle of Philip Napier Miles.

Chief Official of the Western Regions
The Chief Official of the Western Regions was a Chinese military official in charge of the Western Regions during the Eastern Han, Cao Wei and Jin dynasties.
Since the Eastern Han no longer maintained the post of Protector General, the duty was assumed by the Cief Official in the course of his management of the Western Regions during the period of the Qiang's attacks towards the end of the Eastern Han dynasty in the latter part of the 2nd century CE.
Unlike the Protector General of the Western Regions, the Chief Official (sometimes referred to as the 'Chief Scribe') did not have a regular office or seat. It corresponded to that of the Assistant (郡丞) for | 6,135,696 |

the commandery, who received orders from the Governor of Dunhuang. So in certain extent, the various statelets of Indo-European in the possession of the chief official would be under the jurisdiction of Governor of Dunhuang.
The first to assume the duty was Ban Chao in 83, and subsequently was Xu Gan (徐干), after Ban became Protector General in 91. The post was roughly equal to the secondary position in support of the protector general. It was later assumed as the Protector General in 119 under the impulse of the Governor of Dunhuang to disengage the leftover Xiongnu from the Western Regions. Only 5 of their titles were known: Suo Ban (索班), Ban Yong (班勇), Zhao Ping (赵评), Wang Jing (王敬) and Zhang | 6,135,697 |
