Shevchenkivskyi Raion (Ukrainian: ?????????????? ?????, translit. Shevchenkivs’kyi raion) is a administrative raion (district) of the city of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. It was established on April 4, 1937. In 2001 was increased with an annexation of the Radiansky and Starokyivsky districts.

The district is considered as the most sacred to all eastern Slavs. It was here on the Starokyiv mount where the apostol Saint Andrew erected the cross. It is here where the nationally famous Golden Gates are located, the main entrance to the medieval Kyiv-city. It is in this district where the Tsentralna Rada was presided and where Pavlo Skoropadsky became the Hetman of the Ukrainian State.

The district also has the local opera house and several universities. It also houses the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on the Volodymyr Street. There also is located a local zoo, Kiev Zoo. The other no less important landmarks of the district are historic historic monuments such as churches and cathedrals: Sophia Cathedral, Volodymyr Cathedral, and others. Also the place where the Orange Revolution took place, Maydan Nezalezhnosti is in the district and is adjacent to Khreschatyk.

Location

Main streets are: Khreschatyk, Volodymyr Street, Viktory Parkway/Shevchenko Boulevard, Dehtiariov Street, Olena Teliha Street, Melnykov Street, and others. The district borders Podil to the north; Pechersk, Holosiivskyi Raion, and Solomianskyi Raion to the south; and Sviatoshyn to the west.

In June 2008 the Kiev city council renamed Kominterna Street (located in this raion) into Symon Petliura Street to commemorate the occasion of his 130th birthday anniversary.

Cutter Laboratories

Jump to: navigation, search

Cutter Laboratories was a pharmaceutical company located in Berkeley, California. They were bought by the Bayer pharmaceutical company in the 1970s.

Contents 1 The Cutter incident 1.1 Numbers affected 2 Other incidents 3 References 4 External links

The Cutter incident

In 1955 Cutter Laboratories was one of several companies licensed by the United States government to produce Salk polio vaccine. In what came to be known as the Cutter Incident, a production error caused some lots of the Cutter vaccine to be tainted with live polio virus.

The Cutter incident was one of the worst pharmaceutical disasters in U.S. history and caused several thousand children to be exposed to live polio virus upon vaccination.

Numbers affected

The mistake resulted in the production of 120,000 doses of polio vaccine that contained live polio virus. Of the children who received the vaccine 40,000 developed abortive poliomyelitis (a form of the disease that does not involve the central nervous system), 56 developed paralytic poliomyelitis and of these 5 children died as a result of polio infection.

Other incidents

In the 1980s Cutter Laboratories produced unsafe blood products to treat hemophilia. The pharmaceutical product, which was produced from blood given by donors all across the US, was contaminated with HIV. These problems were the subject of lawsuits over the next twenty years.

Fort Burgoyne

Jump to: navigation, search

Fort Burgoyne, originally known as Castle Hill Fort, was built in the 1860s to guard the high ground northeast of Dover, England. Built to a polygonal system with detached eastern and western redoubts, the fort is named after the 19th century General John Burgoyne, not the more famous John Burgoyne of the American Revolutionary War.

The central part of the fort is still under Army occupation as Connaught Barracks and cannot be visited, but the eastern and western outworks are accessible, if heavily overgrown.

The Barracks are now vacant, and plans to use them as an open prison were dropped in November 2006.

Wayne Bennett (blues guitarist)

Jump to: navigation, search

This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2009)

Wayne Bennett (December 13, 1931 – November 28, 1992), was an American blues guitarist. He was born on in Sulphur, Oklahoma, and died in New Orleans Louisiana. He worked with prominent blues musicians such as Bobby Bland, Boxcar Willie, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker and Elmore James, as well as with renowned jazz musicians, including Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Stitt and Dexter Gordon. In 1990, Bennett played on Willy DeVille’s album Victory Mixture. Wayne also played with such R & B acts as the Chi-Lites, the Lost Generation, the Hues Corporation; among many others and even cut his own record in 1968, an instrumental called “Casanova, Your Playing Days are Over” on the now defunct Brunswick label.

Wayne Bennett was a guitarist originally known for his jazz-tinged blues guitar work with Bobby “Blue” Bland. He worked with Bland for a long time, and his solo on “Stormy Monday” on Bland’s album “Here’s The Man” is still considered by many guitarists to be a classic, drawing both from T-Bone Walker and jazz influences. Bennett himself never liked to claim to be a blues player, preferring instead to be as versatile as he could be, and taking pride in being able to quote from a wide variety of popular music, including TV theme songs. In his earlier years he played a Gibson Byrdland hollow-body, but in later years he was also seen playing a custom Tom Holmes Cadillac solid-body.

At one time or another Wayne had also been a member of the house orchestra at the Apollo in New York City, the Regal Theatre in Chicago, the Howard in Washington, D.C., the Uptown Theatre in Philadelphia and the Royal Theatre in Baltimore.

Some of Wayne’s training included studying guitar with Harry Volpe in N.Y.C. for 2 years. Studying harmony with Nate Griffin in Chicago for one year. Studying harmony with Junior Mance in Chicago for two years, and studying harmony and ear training with Tony Hanson in Cleveland for one year.

Great Western Arcade, Temple Row entrance

Great Western Arcade

The Great Western Arcade (grid reference SP070871) is a covered Grade II listed Victorian shopping arcade lying between Colmore Row and Temple Row in Birmingham, England.

It was built (1875-6) over the Great Western Railway line cutting on the London (Paddington) side of Birmingham Snow Hill station. The cutting was covered in 1874. Originally the broad gauge Paddington line ran through a tunnel which stopped at Temple Row and then an open cutting to Snow Hill station. The cutting was roofed over in 1874 and the Great Western Arcade built on top, the line of the new ‘tunnel’ being offset slightly to the north of the centre of the arcade. The extended tunnel has a length of 596 yards (545 m). The arcade was designed by W. H. Ward of Paradise Street, Birmingham.

The arcade has entrances at each end: that at Temple Row being ornate, unlike the modern reworking at Colmore Row, opposite the entrance to the station. The arcade’s roof was originally a glazed semi-circular barrel vault with a glazed central dome, similar to that of the Gallerio Vittoria Emmanuele in Milan which was constructed at the same time. It was destroyed during World War II and has been replaced. The arcade, containing shops on both sides, has a clock which strikes the quarters on a set of five exposed bells.

Zhang Zuo

Jump to: navigation, search

(Qian) Liang Weiwang ((?)???)
Family name:	Zhang (?; zh?ng)
Given name:	Zuo (?, zuò)
Posthumous name:	Wei (?, we?), literary meaning: “aggressive”

Zhang Zuo (??) (died 355), courtesy name Taibo (??), formally Prince Wei of (Former) Liang ((?)???) was a ruler of the Chinese state Former Liang. He was the only ruler of Former Liang to formally declare a break from Jin Dynasty (265-420), and historical sources variously report him as having declared himself an emperor (per Jin Shu) or a prince (per Zizhi Tongjian). He was commonly viewed as a usurper (having seized the throne from his nephew Zhang Yaoling after his brother Zhang Chonghua’s death) and initially not acknowledged as a Former Liang ruler, but his brother Zhang Tianxi later nevertheless gave him the posthumous name of Wei.

During the reigns of Zhang Chonghua and Zhang Yaoling

Little is known about Zhang Zuo’s personal background, other than that he was Zhang Jun’s oldest son, but was not designated heir apparent. His younger brother Zhang Chonghua was, even though neither was born of Zhang Jun’s wife Princess Yan. Neither his mother nor his birth year was recorded in history. He was praised for being knowledgeable, and either Zhang Jun or Zhang Chonghua created him the Marquess of Changning.

During the reign of his brother Zhang Chonghua, Zhang Zuo was trusted by his brother, and despite warnings by Chang Ju (??) and Xie Ai, Zhang Chonghua, for a long time, intended for Zhang Zuo to serve as regent for his son Zhang Yaoling. Late in 353, however, as Zhang Chonghua was gravely ill, he ordered that Xie be recalled to be warrant — but Zhang Zuo and Zhang Chonghua’s attendants Zhao Zhang (??) and Wei Qi (??), who had conspired to take over power, blocked Zhang Chonghua’s order and instead forged an order making Zhang Zuo regent. Zhang Chonghua soon died, and he was succeeded by Zhang Yaoling, at age nine, but real power was in Zhang Zuo’s hands.

Zhang Zuo, who had by this point engaged in an affair with Zhang Chonghua’s mother Princess Dowager Ma, soon made his move to formally take over. With Princess Ma’s approval, Zhang Yaoling was deposed in early 354 and replaced with Zhang Zuo, who soon showed his cruel side, as he put Xie Ai and Zhang Chonghua’s wife Princess Pei to death.

Reign

Early in 354, Zhang Zuo declared a clear break from Jin — a move that none of his predecessors had dared to do. He completely repudiated the Jin era name Jianxing (declared by Emperor Min of Jin and used in at least some facility by every Zhang patriarch since his grandfather Zhang Shi (??)) and changed the era name to Heping. He also declared himself a greater title than the Jin-bestowed Duke of Xiping — although what that title was is a matter of historical controversy, as Jin Shu indicated that he declared himself emperor (and created his wife Lady Xin empress and his sons princes) and Zizhi Tongjian indicated that he declared himself Prince of Liang, although the inclusion by Jin Shu of a declaration of independence by Zhang Zuo appears to lend credibility to the Jin Shu account.

Later that year, Zhang Zuo nevertheless sent his general Wang Zhuo (??) to assist the Jin general Sima Xun (???), who was commanding an auxiliary force in conjunction with the main force commanded by Huan Wen against Former Qin. Wang submitted a report to Zhang Zuo stating that Huan was capable of commanding large armies and had great ambition, which caused Zhang Zuo to panic. Oddly, he decided to assassinate Wang, but failed. He then mobilized his troops, ready to resist Huan or to flee in case Huan destroyed Former Qin and then turned his attention on him. After Huan was forced to withdraw after his food supplies ran out, however, Zhang Zuo attacked Wang, forcing Wang to surrender to Former Qin.

Zhang Zuo’s rule, according to traditional accounts, was one filled with debauchery, cruelty, and extravagance. He was said to not only had an affair with Princess Dowager Ma, but committed incest with all of Zhang Chonghua’s daughters. He became apprehensive of his general Zhang Guan (??), so he sent Zhang Guan on an expedition, but sent another army to ambush him. The news leaked, however, and Zhang Guan turned his army against the capital Guzang (??, in modern Wuwei, Gansu). He declared that Zhang Zuo should be deposed and Zhang Yaoling should be restored. He was soon joined by another major general, Song Hun (??). In response, Zhang Zuo had his young nephew put to death by beating.

That action could not save him, however, as Zhang Guan and Song continued their advances on the capital. Zhang Zuo ordered that Zhang Guan’s brother Zhang Ju (??) and son Zhang Song (??) be arrested and executed, but instead Zhang Ju and Zhang Son started an uprising within Guzang and opened the city gates to welcome in Song’s forces. Zhang Zuo’s former coconspirators Zhao Zhang and Wei Qi became apprehensive and forced Princess Dowager Ma to declare Zhang Chonghua’s younger son Zhang Xuanjing as the new ruler. Guards still loyal to Zhang Zuo killed Zhao and Wei, but soon fell apart in the confusion, and Zhang Zuo was killed. Song cut off his head and put his two sons to death.
