    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS WEDNESBURY (Inc. Kings Hill, Mesty Croft) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

Skorton. Now+Next Few events in my life have been as uplifting and humbling as that of Oct. 19, 2015, the day I was honored to become the 13th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. The Installation ceremony began with a procession of the institution’s scholars, curators and scientists, representing not only the more than 6,000 staff who dedicate themselves to the Smithsonian’s mission today, but also the many thousands more who have advanced the fields of history, art and science since the institution’s founding in 1846. In 2015 alone we welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the newly renovated Renwick Gallery (p. 6), our scientists peered to the edge of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way (p. 18) and our anthropologists helped identify the remains of leaders of the Jamestown colony (p. 28). The theme of this year’s annual report is “Now+Next” because the work we do today leads to the innovations of tomorrow. Thanks to the support of many generous private donations, Congress and the American people, we will continue to increase our understanding of the world, and to share that understanding with you.

Each life view is written and represented by a The Seducer pseudonymous author, with the prose of the work reflecting and depending on The Seducer life view being discussed. For example, the aesthetic life view is written in short essay form, with poetic imagery and allusionsdiscussing aesthetic the such as musicseductiondramaand beauty. The ethical life view is written as two long letters, with a more argumentative and restrained prose, discussing moral responsibilitycritical reflectionand marriage. The book's central concern is the primal question asked by Aristotle"How should we live? The aesthetic is the personal, subjective realm of existence, where an individual lives and extracts pleasure from life only for The Seducer own sake. In this realm, one has the possibility of the highest as well as the lowest. The ethical, on the other hand, is the civic realm of existence, where The Seducer value and identity are judged and at times superseded by the objective The Seducer. In simple terms, one can choose either to remain oblivious to all that goes on in the world, or to become involved. More specifically, the ethic realm starts with a conscious effort to choose one's life, with a choice to choose.

  • Supreme Court, Appellate Division First Department
    SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION FIRST DEPARTMENT JANUARY 26, 2015 THE COURT ANNOUNCES THE FOLLOWING DECISIONS: Gonzalez, P.J., Renwick, DeGrasse, Manzanet-Daniels, Gische, JJ. 14015N In re Pedro Luis Sosa, Index 300415/13 Petitioner-Respondent, -against- The City of New York, Respondent-Appellant. _________________________ Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Dona B. Morris of counsel), for appellant. Pena & Kahn, PLLC, Bronx (Diane Welch Bando of counsel), for respondent. _________________________ Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Larry S. Schachner, J.), entered March 19, 2013, which granted petitioner Pedro Luis Sosa’s motion for leave to serve a late notice of claim, unanimously affirmed, without costs. In this action for personal injuries allegedly suffered by petitioner when he was involved in a multi-vehicle accident, although petitioner failed to proffer a reasonable excuse for his delay in timely serving a notice of claim, he has demonstrated that respondent had actual notice of the essential facts constituting his claim (see Thomas v City of New York, 118 AD3d 537 [1st Dept 2014]; Porcaro v City of New York, 20 AD3d 357, 358 [1st Dept 2005]). The accident reports of the police department and the records from its Accident Investigations Squad, which include a witness statement from a Department of Sanitation supervisor, sufficiently connected the accident to the City's negligence in maintaining the road. The reports, which show that the incident was caused by an icy condition on the roadway, sufficiently apprised the City of petitioner’s negligence claim against it (see Matter of Strauss v New York City Tr. Auth., 195 AD2d 322, 322-323 [1st Dept 1993]; Matter of Gerzel v City of New York, 117 AD2d 549, 551 [2d Dept 1986]; Matter of Annis v New York City Tr.
