Herbert Stone MacDonald Herbert Stone MacDonald (February 23, 1842 – January 8, 1921) was an Ontario lawyer, judge and political figure. He represented Leeds South in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Conservative member from 1871 to 1873.
He was born in Gananoque in 1842, and attended Queen's University. He studied law, first articling with Albert Norton Richards, was called to the bar in 1863 and practiced law in Brockville. In 1864, he married Emma Matilda, the daughter of David Jones. He was a lieutenant in the local militia. MacDonald was a member of the Orange Order, serving as grand |
master for Ontario East. He introduced a bill in 1873 to incorporate the Orange Order, which was passed in the legislature but the Lieutenant Governor, William Pearce Howland, held the bill for consideration by the federal parliament and it was replaced by a later more general bill in 1874. In October 1873, MacDonald resigned his seat in the legislative assembly to become junior judge in the county court for Leeds and Grenville. In 1878, he was named senior judge in the county court. He served on the council for Trinity College, Toronto and as director for Bishop Ridley College |
and the Brockville General Hospital. |
Herbert Vilakazi Herbert W. Vilakazi (May 18, 1943 in Nongoma–January 26, 2016 in Pretoria) was a South African sociologist. He was known for his opposition to South Africa's apartheid system, which motivated him to try to dismantle it from the inside by becoming a professor at the University of Transkei, despite the protests of the African National Congress. He was also a prominent critic of Western medicine, and promoted ubhejane as a treatment for HIV/AIDS. Biography Vilakazi was born on May 18, 1943, in Nongoma, Zululand District Municipality, South Africa. In 1957, he moved to Hartford, Connecticut after his father |
accepted a teaching position there. In 1958, at the age of 15, he wrote a letter to Martin Luther King, Jr., in which he praised King's then-recently published book Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story.
He was educated at Columbia University (B.A., 1966; M.A., 1968), and then taught sociology at Essex County College from 1969 to 1980. He then left Essex County College to become a professor at the University of Transkei, remaining on their faculty until 1984. During his tenure at the University of Transkei, he and several of his colleagues were deported for alleged subversive activities. His subsequent |
positions included stints teaching at the University of Cape Town from 1985 to 1986, at Wits University during the 1987 academic year, and at the University of Zululand from 1988 to 1998. From 1997 until his retirement in 2004, he was the Deputy Chair Person of the Electoral Commission of South Africa.
He died on January 26, 2016 of prostate cancer. |

Herman Stegeman Early years and playing career Stegeman was born and raised in Holland, Michigan, and was of Dutch descent. He attended the University of Chicago, where he starred in many sports, including track and field and football under the direction of the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg. Stegeman played on the school's 1913 National Championship football squad, and was hailed by his coach, Stagg, as one of the finest athletes he had ever had the privilege of coaching. After playing football for another season in 1914, Stegeman graduated from Chicago with a Bachelor of Philosophy (Ph.B.) in 1915. Coaching career |
During the end of World War I, the United States Army stationed Stegeman in Athens to create physical training courses for the UGA Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. After arriving, he was hired by UGA's football coach, W. A. Cunningham, as an assistant for the 1919 season. When Cunningham returned to the Army after that season, Stegeman became the head coach of the football team and served in the position from 1920 to 1922. In addition, he also became the head coach of the basketball, baseball and track and field teams in 1920. His career football record stands at 20–6–3 |
(.741). He stepped down as baseball coach after one year.
After the 1922 football season, Stegeman stepped down from that position to become the UGA athletics director. He remained as head coach of the basketball and track and field teams. As head coach of the Georgia basketball team from 1920 until 1931, he still owns the second-best winning percentage (.686) of any Georgia coach with more than 50 games. His final group of Bulldogs won 23 of 25 games and Stegeman was regarded by many as one of the first great basketball "gurus."
Stegeman coached UGA's track and field team for 17 |
years and was the personal coach of Forrest "Spec" Towns, who won a gold medal at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Stegeman led the UGA track team to its only SEC men's team conference championship in 1937 with Towns as the star of the squad. Later life and honors In 1946, Stegeman Hall was named in honor of Stegeman and initially served as the home of the University's athletic and physical education departments; however, that building was demolished in the early 1990s in preparation for events hosted by UGA during the 1996 Summer Olympics. As a result, Charles Knapp, UGA's president |
at the time, led the effort to rename Georgia Coliseum as Stegeman Coliseum in Stegeman's honor on March 2, 1996.
Stegeman died of a heart attack in Athens, Georgia in 1939. |

Heroes (season 4) Plot New characters are introduced in this season, mostly centred around a carnival troupe and their leader. |
Heroes of the Valley Development Development for the book began in 2006, following the end of Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy, and finished in the summer of 2008. Stroud has stated that:
"I’ve always liked reading Norse myths and legends, and the Icelandic Sagas, written in the Middle Ages by the descendents of Vikings. The Sagas are interesting because they mix ordinary domestic stories about farms and families with sudden bits of supernatural stuff, featuring ghosts and trolls. The fantasy never takes over, but it never goes away either; it’s just taken for granted by the people as something on the margin |
of their lives. I was keen to try a saga of my own, which would explore themes of story-telling and family life, and began jotting down a few fragments of story." Plot Halli Sveinsson loves to hear stories from the days when the valley was a wild and dangerous place, besieged by the bloodthirsty Trow. Now farming has taken over from fighting Trows, and to Halli's disappointment, heroics seem a thing of the past. But when a practical joke rekindles an old blood feud, he sees a chance for a daring quest of his own.
The tale begins with the Battle |
of the Rock being told to a child. This was when twelve heroes of the valley joined together to fight the ruthless Trows (man eating monsters) who were devastating the land. Taking up positions on a large rock, they were finally attacked at dusk by the Trows, who they fended off all night. In the morning, when the people returned to see what had happened, all were dead, Trows and Heroes, including Svein, their leader.
The heroes were buried under cairns along the borders of the valley with their swords, so that, even in death, they could guard the boundaries from |
the Trows. As long as no one crosses the cairn border, the legends say, no Trows can enter the Valley.
Many years later, Halli is born. He is a very short, stout, and headstrong boy who longs for the days of the Heroes, when a man could fight for what he wanted and take what he could win. He longs to leave the valley, which is now ruled by a Council of women who demand peace and equality in the land. They have outlawed swords and other weapons to discourage wars. Halli looks very much like his uncle Brodir, whom |
he adores. He is the third and last child in his family, who are Arnkel, his father and Arbiter of Svein's House, Astrid, his mother and Law-Giver of Svein's House, Leif, his older brother who is immediately in line for the Arbiter after Arnkel, Gudny, his sister and Brodir, who is the only relative who seems to get along with him.
When his uncle is murdered by the rival house of Hakonssons, Halli sets off to avenge him. Finally, he thinks that he will have a hero's quest of his own.
But during his journey, Halli realizes that he isn't the pitiless |
avenging killer that he thought he could be. His interference and thirst for revenge leads two men to their deaths, and he becomes sick with guilt. He returns home to his relieved yet angry family, and his distrusting and fearful fellow villagers. His actions eventually lead to an attack by the House of Hakon, and he alone can accept responsibility and take charge of his defenseless village.
The enemy arrives and they have an obvious advantage—swords. Halli realizes that his peoples' only hope is if he lures the enemy in the dark past the cairn boundaries. He does so |
with the help of his friend, Aud Arnsdottir, and to his relief, it works. The Hakonssons are eaten by monsters in the moorlands. However, Halli and Aud also come under attack. Much like the heroes of old, they take their last stand on a large rock and await the unseen monsters. |
Hesket Newmarket Economy Hesket Newmarket was the original base of Carlisle based haulage giant Eddie Stobart Logistics.
The village has two social enterprises, a co-operatively owned pub, the Old Crown Inn and a co-operatively owned brewery, the Hesket Newmarket Brewery. Etymology The name is recorded in 1227 as Eskeheued, pointing to Old Norse eski = ash (tree) + Anglo-Saxon hēafod = "ash-head" = "hill with ash trees on", and not the usual origin of placenames Hesket and Hesketh. Governance The village is in the parliamentary constituency of Penrith and the Border. Rory Stewart is its Member of parliament.
For Local Government purposes |
the village straddles the Warnell Ward of Allerdale Borough Council and the Skelton Ward of Eden District Council. It also straddles the Thursby and Greystoke & Hesket Electoral Divisions of Cumbria County Council.
Hesket Newmarket along with neighbouring village Caldbeck, has its own parish council, Caldbeck Parish Council. Brewery The village has its own brewery; Hesket Newmarket Brewery which was founded in 1987, at the back of the Old Crown Inn. Chris Bonington sent a message from Kathmandu to officially open the pub.
The first beer, Blencathra Bitter, was launched in March 1988, other beers include Doris' 90th Birthday Ale.
Today |
the brewery is owned by Hesket Newmarket Brewery Co-operative Ltd, which was established to acquire ownership of the brewery. The Prince of Wales visited the pub in 2004 to honour its achievements. |
Hessle High School History and location The school, originally located over two sites – Heads Lane and Boothferry Road – became one site at Heads Lane, in January 2016, as part of the Priority Schools Building Programme. Hessle High School originally centred on Tranby House, which was built in 1807 by a local Kingston upon Hull merchant who made his fortune in the shipping industry. The house was inherited and lived in by successive generations of Barkworths until Algernon Henry Barkworth, who survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic. After Algernon Barkworth's death in 1945, the house was bequeathed to |
the local education authority to become a school, which it did in 1947 as Tranby High School. The house is an almost exact duplicate of the now-demolished Tranby Lodge, and Hessle Mount, now an independent private preparatory school. In 1967, Tranby House became a Grade II listed building to ensure its history and architecture are protected.
In August 2011, the school was granted academy status. In October 2016, following a refurbishment, Tranby House opened as the Hessle Sixth Form College. The sixth form remains part of a consortium with Wolfreton School and Cottingham High School, which was established in 2009. The |
consortium allows pupils to study post-16 courses at the partnership schools. In January 2017, Penshurst Primary School became a through school with Hessle High School and Sixth Form College – before that the schools were federated. |
Hetzner History Hetzner Online GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) began operations in Germany in 1997 under the name Hetzner Online Services. Between 2000 and 2015, Hetzner Online in Germany operated under the legal status AG ("Aktiengesellschaft"). In 2015, it changed its legal status to GmbH. In addition, Hetzner Online expanded its chief executive team with Stephan Konvickova and Günther Müller at the beginning of the year 2019.
The company is named after its founder Martin Hetzner. Hetzner Online owns and operates three data center parks in Nuremberg and Falkenstein/Vogtland (Germany), and Helsinki (Finland). In addition, Hetzner Online is a co-investor in |
the Cinia C-Lion1 project, which connected Helsinki and Rostock, Germany together with a 1,100 km long submarine fiberglass cable. The cable provides a high-speed connection between Hetzner's German and Finnish data centers.
In 2017, Hetzner Online celebrated its 20th anniversary with a multi-day event at its data center park in Falkenstein. The event, "Willkommen im Internet", included technical workshops, a tour of the facility, and a public, open-air concert by Austrian singer, Christina Stürmer.
The head office of Hetzner Online is based in Gunzenhausen, Bavaria, in Germany. It has a partner company in South Africa: xneelo (formerly Hetzner (Pty.) Ltd. which operates data |
centers in Midrand and Cape Town (South Africa). Services Hetzner Online provides dedicated hosting, shared web hosting, virtual private servers, managed servers, domain names, SSL certificates, storage boxes, and cloud solutions. At the data center parks located in Nuremberg, Falkenstein and Helsinki/Finland, customers can also connect their hardware to Hetzner Online's energy-efficient and state of the art infrastructure and network with the company's colocation services. The company operates a server auction site online where older servers are auctioned off in the form of a Dutch auction.
Hetzner Online has a domain name registrar arrangement with ICANN (for registering domains under .com, |
.net and .org and others), DENIC (for .de), and nic.at (for .at). Infrastructure Hetzner Online's datacenter projects are coordinated and implemented in-house with as little outsourcing as possible. Data center units served by multiple redundant uplinks, including 300 Gbit/s to DE-CIX and fiber optic links to Nuremberg and Frankfurt. Colocation facilities are sited at all data center parks in Nuremberg, Falkenstein/Vogtland in Germany and Helsinki in Finland. Energy usage Energy for normal operations at the data center parks is used exclusively from renewable sources, in Germany from hydropower and in Finland from wind power. In the German data center parks, |
this energy is provided by Energiedienst AG. In addition the company strives to conserve energy with its use of direct free cooling, double-height raised floor, components selected on the basis of energy-consumption, waste heat recycling, and intelligent lighting solutions. In 2011, TÜV SÜD certified Hetzner's data centers as an "Energy Efficient Enterprise".
To prevent possible faults caused by problems with the electrical network, Hetzner Online obtains its power in a redundant manner from the network provider. The current is fed from the neighbouring transformer station to the redundant transformers via two separate lines. The A/B busbar concept, in conjunction with the |
use of static transfer switches (STS), ensures a higher availability of the power supply. The redundant modular UPS system is able to secure the complete power supply in case of a module failure. In the event of a longer power failure, a diesel generator takes over the entire power supply of the data center. In addition, a battery monitoring system permanently monitors the condition of the battery blocks. Cooling system Direct free cooling is used for cooling IT hardware. In contrast to conventional systems, this method uses outside air for cooling. If the outdoor temperature rises, the system automatically switches |
to mixed operation and cools the air via compressors. The cold air is then directed to the air intakes of the servers via the raised floors. This is made possible by cold aisle containment, in which the currents of cold and warm air are separated and deliberately channeled in specific directions. The warm air in the corridors and near the ceiling of the data center are channeled out through the roof in a concentrated manner. The remaining "waste heat" is not wasted. In fact, it is used to heat offices. This system, which was designed in house, not only effecitvely |
cools the hardware; it also reduces the use of cold air and increases the efficiency of cooling, thereby reducing energy consumption. Energy Efficiency Monitoring System An extensive array of measuring devices enables the Hetzner Online team to closely monitor energy consumption and analyze the quality of the power network in real time. The system measures power consumption 24/7 at different intervals at all levels in the data center and sends warnings if it finds of anomalies. A remote-readable software calculates important key figures, such as PUE/EER, and identifies optimization potentials. Certification The internationally recognized standard for information security certifies that |
Hetzner Online GmbH has established and implemented an appropriate information security management system (ISMS). Hetzner Online utilizes the ISMS in its infrastructure and complete operations for the data center parks in the Nuremberg and Falkenstein locations. FOX Certification, a third party certification authority, audited Hetzner Online's data center parks for the certification process. The datacenter parks are thus certified in accordance to ISO/IEC 27001.
This certification confirms that Hetzner Online will uphold strict information security standards. It states that Hetzner Online provides up-to-standard systems for security management, data security, data confidentiality and availability of IT systems. The certificate proves adequate security |
management, data security, confidentiality of information and availability of IT systems. It also confirms that the safety standards are continuously improved and sustainably monitored. Charity Hetzner Online is a sponsor of a variety of humanitarian and educational charity organizations. Sponsoring activities in the past include Habitat for Humanity Germany and their building projects in Africa. In 2010, Hetzner Online donated setup fees received from new orders during the football World Cup 2010 to the Youth Build Project 2010. In 2012 Habitat for Humanity Germany patron, actress Alexandra Neldel travelled to Mozambique and South Africa to learn more about Hetzner Online's |
projects. The company received the Habitat for Humanity Corporate Partnership Award in 2012. In addition, Hetzner Online has sponsored several non-profit organizations located in the communities near its data center parks. Hacking In June 2013, Hetzner Online suffered from a security breach where customer information was exposed to attackers who had compromised Hetzner Online's monitoring systems. Russian complaints about Glavcom.ua In early August 2014, the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) sent a demand to many news agencies, including BBC, prohibiting any mention of the demonstration that was being arranged in the Siberian |
