That pleasure is the greater because of my belief that through the neglect of some of Vermont's historians as well as through the enter­ prise of others who, like myself, have had their own towns or group of individuals to serve and honor, the place of Windsor in Vermont's written history is not what the town deserves and because your invitation gives me an opportunity to show some forgotten parts of Windsor's claim to historic impor­ tance. Today I shall not describe the three celebrated conven­ tions held in this town in 1777, the first of which gave to the State its name, while the second and third created the State and gave to it its corporate existence and its first constitution; nor shall I touch upon the first session of Vermont's legislature held here in 1778, although upon these several events mainly hangs Windsor's fame as far as printed history is concerned. Nor shall I dwell upon Windsor as the first town of Vermont in culture and social life through the last decade of the eigh­ teenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth, nor yet upon the extraordinary influence which the early artisans and inventors of this town have had upon industries in various parts of the world.

  • A History of the Town of Keene [New Hampshire] from 1732, When The
    CHAPTER X. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE GRANTS. 1741-1782. When the south boundary line of New Hampshire was established, in 1741, it was supposed that that line ex­ tended the same distance west as the north line of Massa­ chusetts, and New Hampshire claimed what is now Ver­ mont as a part of her territory. In 1749, Gov. Benning Wentworth granted the town of Bennington, naming it for himself, and not long afterwards he granted other townshipst as his commission from the king authorized and commanded him to do. After the last French and Indian wart 1 755-1760, the demand for those lands was so great thatt in 1 764, he had granted 138 townships west of the Connecticut river; and that territory was called the New Hampshire Grants. But New York also claimed that territory, and its gov­ ernor issued grants to its lands, in many cases the same that Gov. Wentworth had granted. In 1764, upon an ap­ peal to the king, the west bank of the Connecticut river was declared to be the "boundary line between New York and New Hampshire. But the language of the decree was slightly ambiguous, and Gov. Wentworth and his grantees claimed that his grants were legal, and that the titles of those grantees to the lands were still valid; while the New Yorkers claimed that they were illegal and void. The con.. troversy became a very lively and serious one. New York sheriffs were sent to dispossess the New Hampshire settlers -in some cases the New York grantees drove them off and burned their log-eabins-but those settlers banded together, appointed committees of safety, formed a corps of "Green Mountain Boys" under energetic officers, with Ethan Allen for their colonel, and resolutely determined to defend their rights.

Noted as one of the world's greatest tiger trainers, Bale was also known as a gifted clown, acrobat, trick bicyclist, vaudevillian and ringmaster. Bale's unpublished and unedited autobiographical manuscript ( written under the guidance of famed ghostwriter and editor Walter B.

  • Military History of Fort Constitution (Fort William and Mary)
    Military History of Fort Constitution (Fort William and Mary) A. If you had visited Portsmouth in 1632, you would have come by sea. Whether you came to stay, to fish, or even as an enemy to attack the town, you would have passed the very spot you are standing on now (Fort Constitution), and sailed along the shore towards Strawbery Banke. Those were the days of Indians, pirates, and attacks by sea, and the townspeople would have felt dangerously unprotected without some kind of fort guarding the entrance to the harbor. They intended the principal fort to occupy the high rock you pass as you approach, where today the remains of a Second World War gun emplacement can be seen; but in the meantime they placed four great guns at the end of the point, which they named Fort Point. The kind of fort they had in mind would have been familiar to Shakespeare, or even Henry the Fifth: an imposing, obvious structure like a warning frown at the harbor entrance – for those days it occurred to no one to hide fortifications, as was done in World War Two. For instance, as nearby as Rye, New Hampshire, there were invisible batteries sunk in the earth, many times more dangerous to invaders than a grand, minatory castle. B. But seventeenth century war was still a kind of game, in which rival armies swapped forts and positions, and left it to the diplomats to settle the issue. Seventeenth century books on warfare were full of theoretical soldiers, like the ones you see in the Images section, drawn up in toy-soldier ranks.

  • Modern Fat Technology: What Is the Potential for Heart Health?
    Proceedings of the Nutrition Society (2005), 64, 379–386 DOI:10.1079/PNS2005446 g The Authors 2005 Modern fat technology: what is the potential for heart health? J. E. Upritchard*, M. J. Zeelenberg, H. Huizinga, P. M. Verschuren and E. A. Trautwein Unilever Health Institute, Unilever Research and Development, PO Box 114, 3130 AC Vlaardingen, The Netherlands Saturated and trans-fatty acids raise total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and are known to increase the risk of CHD, while dietary unsaturated fatty acids play important roles in maintaining cardiovascular health. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet often involves many complex dietary changes. Modifying the composition of foods high in saturated fat, particularly those foods that are consumed daily, can help individuals to meet the nutritional targets for reducing the risk of CHD. In the 1960s the Dutch medical community approached Unilever about the technical feasibility of producing margarine with a high-PUFA and low-saturated fatty acid composition. Margarine is an emulsion of water in liquid oil that is stabilised by a network of fat crystals. In-depth expertise of fat crystallisation processes allowed Unilever scientists to use a minimum of solid fat (saturated fatty acids) to structure a maximum level of PUFA-rich liquid oil, thus developing the first blood-cholesterol-lowering product, Becel. Over the years the composition of this spread has been modified to reflect new scientific findings and recommendations. The present paper will briefly review the developments in fat technology that have made these improvements possible. Unilever produces spreads that are low in total fat and saturated fat, virtually free of trans-fatty acids and with levels of n-3 and n-6 PUFA that are in line with the latest dietary recommendations for the prevention of CHD.
