Men knocking down acorns to feed swine, from the 14th century English Queen Mary Psalter, MS. Royal 2 B VII f.81v
Modern-day pannage, or common of mast, in the New Forest
Pannage is the practice of turning out domestic pigs in a wood or forest, in order that they may feed on fallen acorns, beechmast, chestnuts or other nuts. Pannage is no longer carried out in most areas, but is still observed in the New Forest of Southern England, where it is also known as common of mast. It is still an important part of the forest ecology, and helps the husbandry of the other New Forest livestock – pigs can safely eat acorns as a large part of their diet, whereas excessive amounts may be poisonous to ponies and cattle.
The minimum duration of the New Forest pannage season is 60 days, but the start date varies according to the weather – and when the acorns fall. The Court of Verderers decides when pannage will start each year. At other times pigs are not allowed to roam on the forest, with the exception that breeding sows (known as “privileged sows”) are by custom allowed out, providing that they return to the owner’s holding at night and are not a nuisance. The pigs each have several nose rings clipped into their noses to prevent them rooting too much and causing damage to grassland.

History
Kenthurst is derived from the English County of Kent and hurst meaning a woody hillock or clearing. The original inhabitants of the Dural area were the Darug people. Originally known as Little Dooral and later Little Dural. In 1886 a public meeting was held to discuss a change of name. Charles Gibb was the main agitator who declared that the settlement needed a more elegant title.
Kent Forest was suggested as an appropriate name for the area where settlers from Kent County that had settled in the area, but it wasn’t popular and eventually Kenthurst was chosen. The meeting applied to the government ministry for permission to change the name, which was successful and was in general use from 1887.
Shopping complex
The Kenthurst shopping complex features a post office, supermarket, butcher, newsagent and bottle shop, hairdresser and other shops.

(Redirected from Jake Golos)
Jump to: navigation, search
Jake Golos (birth name Jacob Golosenko) (1890 - November 27, 1943), was a Ukrainian-born Bolshevik revolutionary and Soviet secret police operative in the USSR and of Jewish heritage. He was also a longtime senior official of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) involved in covertwork and cooperation with Soviet intelligence agencies. He changed his name to Golos because of his involvement with a pro-Bolshevik daily newspaper published in New York, Russky Golos or The Russian Voice. During World War II, he developed several large espionage networks of secret Communist party members who worked for the United States Government and linked them to the Soviet intelligence. He inherited at least one spy network from Earl Browder, the CPUSA General Secretary. They are collectively referred to as the “Golos ring” of Soviet espionage agents.

Biography
Jacob Golos was the “main pillar” of the NKVD intelligence network. He had worked with Soviet intelligence from the mid 1930s, and probably earlier. He held official rank in the NKVD, claiming to be an oldtime Chekist. Golos headed the Central Control Commission, which planned the execution of Juliet Poyntz, an American defector from the GRU.
The code name “Sound” appears in the Venona decryptions as a Soviet source and was identified as Jacob Golos. . The reference to Golos in the Venona decrypts as an “illegal colleague” corroborates Elizabeth Bentley’s testimony. The term “nelegal’ny sotrudnik,” can be translated as “illegal colleague,” “illegal associate” or “illegal operative”. That was Soviet espionage terminology for a Soviet officer or professional agent who operated without the protection of diplomatic or official status with a Soviet embassy, consulate or agency and usually with false documents. Soviet officers with the latter status were said to be “legal.” Golos worked for the Society for Technical Aid to Soviet Russia. Cover name “Zvuk” (”Sound”) is from Latin “Vox”, or “Voice”.
Jacob’s brother, Jack, established a company called World Tourists with money from Earl Browder, General Secretary of the CPUSA. The firm, which posed as a travel agency, was used to facilitate international travel to and from the United States by Soviet agents and CPUSA members. World Tourists was also involved in manufacturing fake passports. Golos frequently met Bernard Schuster at World Tourist. In March 1940, Jack Golos pled guilty to being an unregistered foreign agent and paid a $500 fine and served probation, in lieu of a four month prison sentence. also operated as an underground railroad to bring Russian Jews into the United States fearing persecution from the Soviets].
Soviet intelligence did not like Golos’ refusal to allow Soviet contact with his sources. The NKVD suspected Golos of Trotskyism and tried to lure him to Moscow, where he could be arrested. The US government got to him first. But even then, he would not surrender his agents. After Browder went to prison in 1940, Golos took over running Browder’s agents.
In 1941, Golos had set up a commercial forwarding enterprise, called the U.S. Shipping and Service Corporation, with Bentley, his lover, as one of its officers.
In the fall of 1942, a Communist cell of engineers was turned over to Golos for Soviet espionage purposes and Julius Rosenberg was the contact between Golos and the group. Golos believed this cell, the XY Line of engineers was capable of development. The XY Line began enormous efforts to penetrate the Manhattan Project, code-named ENORMOUS (ENORMOZ).
Sometime in November 1943, Golos met in New York with key figures of the Perlo group, a group working in several government departments and agencies in Washington, D.C. The group was already in the service of Browder. Later that same month, after a series of heart attacks over the previous two years, Golos died in bed in Bentley’s arms. Bentley then took over his operations (thus the reference in the decrypts to him as a “former” colleague).

Outer Manchuria is in light red on this map. Some also consider the island of Sakhalin to be part of Outer Manchuria.
This article contains Chinese text. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Chinese characters.
Outer Manchuria (Chinese: ???), known in China as Outer Northeast (Chinese: ???), and Priamurye (Cyrillic: ??????????) in Russia, is the territory ceded by China to Russia in the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 and the Treaty of Peking in 1860. See Amur Annexation. The northern part of the area was also in dispute between 1643 and 1689 (see Russian-Manchu border conflicts). The area comprises the present-day Russian areas of Primorsky Krai, southern Khabarovsk Krai, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and Amur Oblast. Another interpretation also adds the island of Sakhalin.
In contrast to Outer Manchuria, the part of Manchuria that is still part of China is referred to as “Inner Manchuria”.
According to the Treaty of Nerchinsk in 1689, the Sino-Russian border was the Stanovoy Mountains and the Argun River, establishing Outer Manchuria as a part of Qing Dynasty China. After losing the Opium War, a series of treaties were forced upon the Qing Dynasty gave away land and ports to the European powers, these were known as the Unequal Treaties. Starting with the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 and the Treaty of Peking in 1860, the Sino-Russian border was realigned on the Amur and Ussuri rivers, in Russia’s favour. As a result, China lost Outer Manchuria, as well as access to the Sea of Japan.

Place names
Today there still exist certain reminders of the ancient Manchu domination in English-language toponyms: for example the Sikhote-Alin, the great coastal range; the Khanka Lake; Amur and Ussuri Rivers; Yam Alin; Miao-Shan Alin; Il-Kuri Alin; the Greater Khingan, Lesser Khingan and others small ranges and the Shantar coastal archipelago.

Different ancient nations lived in this area. The original inhabitants apparently were the Mohe and other Tungus tribes. Others were the ancient tribes of Goguryeo and Balhae, whose territories extended from the Korean peninsula to inner and outer Manchuria.
According to the Treaty of Nerchinsk in 1689, the Sino-Russian border was the Argun River and the Stanovoy Mountains until the Pacific coast. This latter was defined differently in the three versions of the Treaty, viz. Latin, Russian and Manchu. The eastern end of the boundary was generally held to be the Uda river, so leaving Outer Manchuria to China. However, Outer Manchuria was ceded by the Qing Dynasty to Russia in the Treaty of Aigun of 1858 and the Treaty of Peking of 1860. A small region to the north of the Amur known as the Sixty-Four Villages, east of the Heilongjiang river, was kept by China according to the Treaty of Aigun, but invaded and annexed by Russia in 1900. From 1860 to 1920 Outer Manchuria was part of the Russian Empire. From 1918 to 1925 Outer Manchuria was occupied by the Japanese and briefly united with Inner Manchuria under Japanese domination. This temporary control included East Transbaikalia (the Ulan Ude-Chita sector). Some sources indicated that Japanese units patrolled to the eastern slopes of the Urals and to Central Asia. North Sakhalin was finally returned during 1925.
During the 1930s and World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army, Kwantung Army and other members of the Strike North Group (Japanese supporters of conquest of lands in Siberia) outlined the “Ohtsu” or “B” Operation, a plan to invade the Soviet Far East. The plan implied the occupation of Khabarovsk and the Primorsky Krai, the Okhotsk Sea coast, Kamchatka Peninsula, Ulan Ude (East Baikal area), and Outer Mongolia. The concept was of occupation, or a defensive buffer against the USSR.
The Battle of Lake Khasan (”Changkufeng incident”), the Battle of Halhin Gol (”Nomonhan incident”), and some smaller Japanese land, sea and air incursions were part of an ambitious large-scale strategy. Ultimately, when the Japanese Army evaluated its outcomes against the Red Army and its Mongol allies, these plans were dropped. The Japanese Navy’s strategy to strike south prevailed, leading ultimately to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
As Soviet Manchuria, Outer Manchuria formed part of the Far Eastern provinces of the USSR and was used as the launch-pad for the Soviet assault on Japanese occupied Inner Manchuria in 1945. During the Chinese Civil War Chinese communist forces began the war with large amounts of Inner Manchuria already in their hands; in 1949 the victorious communists established the People’s Republic of China.
In 1959 tension arose between Chinese Inner Manchuria and Russian Outer Manchuria over the interpretation of the treaties of Aigun and Peking. This was as much an attempt to undo European colonialism as an ideological split between Mao Zedong and Nikita Khrushchev. In 1969, tensions led to considerable loss of human lives in an open military conflict for control of the Damansky Island.
In 2004, Russia agreed to transfer Yinlong Island as well as one half of Heixiazi Island (zh:????) to China, ending a long-standing border dispute between Russia and China. Both islands are found at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri Rivers, and were until then administered by Russia and claimed by China. The event was meant to foster feelings of reconciliation and cooperation between the two countries by their leaders, but it has also sparked different degrees of discontents on both sides. Russians, especially Cossack farmers of Khabarovsk who would lose their plowlands on the islands, were unhappy about the apparent loss of territory. The transfer has been ratified by both the Chinese National People’s Congress and the Russian State Duma, but has yet to be carried out to date.
Disputes
Outer Manchuria is regarded by some Manchu, and for that matter Han Chinese, as territory that was unfairly taken away. However, outstanding boundary issues between China and Russia have been officially settled and relations are cordial. Article 6 of the 2001 Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship provides that the contracting parties, the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation, have no territorial claims. One concern of Russia are large numbers of Chinese immigrants pouring into relatively empty Outer Manchuria from crowded Inner Manchuria.
As the Republic of China now based in Taiwan has never recognized the People’s Republic of China or its border treaties with other countries, some Chinese maps published in Taiwan still consider the entire Heixiazi Island and the Sixty-Four Villages East of the Heilongjiang River to be Chinese territories, although these maps do show Outer Manchuria, sometimes called “lost territories in the Northeast (China)” (????), to be Russian territory.

Blenk/Immaculata merge
The Archdiocese of New Orleans has announced that after the 2006-2007 school year, Archbishop Blenk and Immaculata High School, both located on the westbank, will merge. The new school will be called The Academy of Our Lady. Alumni, parents of students, and students have protested against this merger. One group of concerned parents, students and alumni have created a web site called Stop The Merger to pass along information in the hope of preventing the merger of Archbishop Blenk and Immaculata. http://www.stopthemerger.net/ The new school, like Immaculata, will be run by the Salesian Sisters.
The Times-Picayune reported on January 4, 2007: “Reversing course for the third time in less than a year, the Archdiocese of New Orleans will close the 46-year-old Archbishop Blenk High School in Gretna at the end of the school year and shift its students to Immaculata High in Marrero. Under a plan announced last spring, students at both schools would have been consolidated at Blenk’s Gretna Boulevard campus, and Immaculata closed, until construction of a new all-girls Catholic school on the West Bank. Then, a second plan to retain both campuses under a new name was announced in October.”
The Blenk building will be remodeled and used for a new magnet school. Since the magnet school is public, all religious figures and statues will be removed from campus. The incoming school is Thomas Jefferson Senior High School, a magnet school for advanced studies.
Awards and recognition
During the 1994-98 period, Archbishop Blenk High School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.
