 he was having financial difficulties (his previous works were not paid royalties);  

his father had died recently; 

 and he had witnessed a public execution, which had disturbed him."

"Mahala means "tenderness" in Hebrew, and is a form of Mahalah or Mahlah, found in the Old Testament as one of the five daughters of Zelophehad in the Book of Numbers. It was often used in colonial New England."

_____ 

'The Daughters of Zelophehad (Hebrew: בְּנוֹת צְלָפְחָד Bənōṯ Ṣəlāfəḥāḏ) were five sisters – Mahlah (מַחְלָה Maḥlā), Noa (נֹעָה Nōʿā), Hoglah (חָגְלָה Ḥoglā), Milcah (מִלְכָּה Mīlkā), and Tirzah (תִרְצָה Ṯīrṣā) – mentioned in the Biblical Book of Numbers. 

 They lived during the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt as they prepared to enter the Promised Land 

 and who raised before the Israelite community 

 the legal case of a woman's right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male heir in the family."

By Spring of 1776 he was a Captain of the Riflemen Rangers with 100 men under his command.  

They fought the Cherokee Indians for 3 months and 16 days. 

 In Fall of 1780 Francis and his riflemen marched from Mecklenburg to Rugley's Mill in SC where he, at the request of Colonel William Washington  

made a wooden cannon about the size of a six pounder  

and when drawn up in sight of the fort held by the British, they surrendered without firing a gun.  

This episode is confirmed The Pictorial Field-Book of The Revolution by Benson J. Lossing in 1855.  

The Captain also fought in two other important battles in the Southern Campaign: the Battle of Hanging Rock fought in SC on August 6, 1780 and at the Battle of Guilford Court House in Guilford County, NC on March 15, 1781.

Sam Wheeler, misogynistic liar

 

 'I’m stepping away to look after my health, period,” Adams, 59, said in his first interview since resigning Tuesday. 

"The only person who put their foot down and said I had to leave my job was my husband.”

_____ 

"the city’s most influential business lobbying group, Portland Business Alliance, praised Adams for the work he accomplished."

"There’s no question that Sam Adams’ tenure in the mayor’s office made a positive impact,” said Jon Isaacs, the group’s vice president for public affairs. 

("At least seven city employees complained to the mayor’s office or human resources about Adams’ conduct — 

 particularly toward women)

"Adams leaves with  

a city aligned behind a clear plan  

to end unsanctioned camping, incentivize the production of thousands of units of badly needed housing and  

improved strategies for taming our city’s rise in crime.”

____

After his departure, Wheeler issued a statement praising Adams as “a hard worker with a strong vision for Portland.” 

"This was one of the most unprofessional experiences I’ve had, not just at the city, but in my career,” an employee in the city attorney’s office wrote. '

He earned $154,000 a year. 

Complaints against Adams provided by the city stretch back to August 2021, 

 just six months after the former mayor returned to City Hall.

"In a nutshell, busking and begging may be alike for that they both solicit donations in public space, but at the same time busking should be distinguishable from begging in that it additionally provides performance and entertainment which have the potential to make public space more favorable.Dec 2, 2021"

_____

"Street performing is legally considered to be artistic free speech and is protected, just as is panhandling or begging."

_____ 

"Subsistence strategies such as panhandling (begging for money, food or other items), busking (providing entertainment for money), and squeegeeing (washing car windshields for money) are 

 informal economic activities commonly associated with homelessness" 

_____ 

"Performances are anything that people find entertaining, including acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street art such as sketching and painting, street theatre, sword swallowing, ventriloquism and washboarding. "

"Some of the bands that performed in this manner were Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Country Joe and the Fish, Moby Grape and Jimi Hendrix. "

"Joshua Bell, a noted classical violinist, posed as a busker in the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station in Washington, D.C. at rush hour in 2007, as part of a feature in The Washington Post.  

In the 45 minutes that Bell played, only seven people out of over a thousand who passed by stopped to watch, and he took in just over $32.

Al Bloodgood NFL

  

Bloodgood made his professional debut in the NFL playing two years with the Kansas City Cowboys in 1925-1926.  

On December 12, 1926 against the Duluth Eskimos he tied an NFL record (with Paddy Driscoll) of  

4 drop-kicked field goals in a single game. 

 The drop kick is significantly more difficult; as Jim Thorpe once explained, "I regard the place kick as almost two to one safer than the drop kick in attempting a goal from the field."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bloodgood

____ 

 

"In both American and Canadian football, one method of scoring a field goal, fair-catch kick (American Football only), or extra point is by drop-kicking the football through the goal, although the technique is very rarely used in modern play."  

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_kick#American_and_Canadian_(gridiron)_football 

the only successful drop kick in the NFL since 1941 was by Doug Flutie, the backup quarterback of the New England Patriots, against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006, for an extra point after a touchdown. 

 Flutie had estimated "an 80 percent chance" of making the drop kick,  which was called to give Flutie, 43 at the time, the opportunity to make a historic kick in his final NFL game;  

the drop kick was his last play in the NFL.

         *.    

On October 24, 2020, Iowa State University backup punter Corey Dunn attempted a surprise on-side drop kick off against Oklahoma State University.  

It was nearly successful as the Cowboys failed to cleanly field the kick, but Oklahoma State recovered the ball in the ensuing scrum.
