  • Monck's Corner, Berkeley County, South Carolina
    Monck's Corner, Berkeley County, South Carolina by Maxwell Clayton Orvin, 1951 In Memoriam John Wesley Orvin, first Mayor of Moncks Corner, S.C., b. March 13, 1854, d. December 17, 1916.He was the son of John Riley Orvin, a Confederate States Soldier in Co. E., Fifth S.C. Cavalry and Salena Louise Huffman, South Carolina. Transcribed by D. Whitesell for South Carolina Genealogy Trails PREFACE The text of this little book is based on matter compiled for a general history of Berkeley County, and is presented in advance of that unfinished undertaking at the request of several persons interested in the early history of the county seat and its predecessor. Recorded in this volume are facts gleaned from newspaper articles, official documents, and hitherto unpublished data vouched for by persons of undoubted veracity. Newspapers might well be termed the backbone of history, but unfortunately few issues of newspapers published in Berkeley County between 1882 and 1936 can now be found, and there was a dearth of persons interested in ''sending pieces" to the daily papers outside the county. Thus much valuable information about the county at large and the county seat has been lost. A complete file of The Berkeley Democrat since 1936 has been preserved by Editor Herbert Hucks, for which he will undoubtedly receive the blessings of the historically minded. Pursuing the self-imposed task of compiling material for a history of the county, and for this volume, I contacted many people, both by letter and in person, and I sincerely appreciate the encouragement and help given me by practically every one consulted.

Several documentation projects have emerged in re- sponse to this presidency to track attacks on the press.8 * Executive Director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP).

  • When Comedian/Actor Aziz Ansari Was Accused of Sexual Harassment On
    ANDREA BOWERS Open Secret June 22 – August 11, 2018 Opening: Friday June 22 6 - 8.30 pm When comedian/actor Aziz Ansari was accused of sexual harassment on January 14, 2018 by an anonymous 23-year-old woman, the story was met with a mixed response from the media and public, some of whom believed the details of the account to be too consensual to be considered misconduct. Feminist writer Jessica Valenti tweeted, "A lot of men will read that post about Aziz Ansari and see an everyday, reasonable sexual interaction. But part of what women are saying right now is that what the culture considers ‘normal’ sexual encounters are not working for us, and oftentimes harmful." In her second solo show at Capitain Petzel titled Open Secret, Andrea Bowers focuses on aspects of the women’s movement over the past year. Bowers participated in the #DisruptJ20 protests and the Women’s March during the presidential inauguration on January 20 and 21, 2017 in Washington D.C. The influence and energy of the Women’s March continues to manifest in many ways, but for this exhibition Bowers focuses on the #MeToo and Times’s Up movements. #MeToo, an international movement against sexual harassment and assault, spread virally in October 2017 following the public revelations of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein. The main work in the show, Open Secrets (Part One), 2018, consists of 100 photographic prints covering both sides of a 19 by 4-meter wall. Each print lists the name and occupation of an accused person in the #MeToo movement, followed by their "apology" and an up-to-date summary including details of the accusations, job status of the accused, legal actions, and other pertinent details.

At the end of the Obama administration, following Russia’s alleged cyberattack campaign and intrusions at two state election offices, DHS designated election systems as "critical infrastructure," on par with hospitals and the power grid. In making its designation, DHS created a new election subsector under the existing government facilities sector, one of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors. Sectors and subsectors are managed through coordinating councils, which include representatives from affected critical infrastructure operators, technical experts and consulting federal agencies. DHS and state officials will meet several times in the next few weeks to begin planning an election security coordinating council, Jenkins said at the NIST meeting. “We’re starting to engage with them more robustly.” The department will spend the next few months showing state election officials how coordinating councils work in the private sector, Jenkins said.

The undertaking grew out of the writer’s intense interest in religious history and the absence of any general account of the Baptists of this State; the effort throughout has been to treat Baptist history alone, and to give only enough political and religious background to present a clear view of the Baptists themselves.
