  Battle of Fort Henry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first objective, Fort Henry, a Confederate earthen fort on the Tennessee River with outdated guns, was partially inundated and the river threatened to flood the rest.
On February 4–5, Grant landed his divisions in two different locations, one on the east bank of the Tennessee River to prevent the garrison’s escape and the other to occupy the high ground on the Kentucky side, which would ensure the fort’s fall; Flag-Officer Andrew H. Foote’s seven gunboats began bombarding the fort.
Lloyd Tilghman, commander of the fort’s garrison, realized that it was only a matter of time before Fort Henry fell.

Lloyd: It was the biggest school in that part of the country in the sense that it was the only school.
Grant was the editor of the school paper in Logan, and that seemed to be where his interests lay, and that was the start of his writing, and that's the career he elected to follow, which he did.
Grant and I talked for a couple of days, and Grant said flatly, "No, and the only thing I want to do is write." He said, "I've come up on several occasions to help you out for a month or so." He said, "I don't like it.

Grant, the only physical education teacher at MEDC, was in charge of and responsible for the training of the team in its preparation for regional competition...
First, Grant and Gray's duty was to have an adequate number of supervisory personnel accompany the team to assure that the youngsters were kept under control and protected from hazards that might be encountered going to and coming from the park.
To summarize, the defendant teachers [Grant and Gray] owed Foster a legal duty, the nature of which was determined by their relation to him, his mental retardation and the hazards to which he would be exposed on the walking trip.

 TIME Europe | Special Report - The Decline and Fall of Lloyd's of London - Page Four | 2/21/2000
Lloyd's North American reserves, then worth about $4 billion, were on deposit at Citibank, and Thomas Hitchcock, who was in charge of the bank's international insurance business and was the bank's point man for the Lloyd's American Trust Fund, had concluded that the fund was not enough to cover Lloyd's asbestos exposure.
"Lloyd's was bust and had to disguise its problems by false accounting," concluded Anthony John South, a British insurance expert and member of Lloyd's from 1968 to 1994, in a sworn affidavit prepared for the West case in Los Angeles.
At a meeting at Lloyd's on Jan. 15, 1982, they told senior officials informally that if Lloyd's were to set aside sufficient reserves to properly anticipate asbestos claims, the marketplace would be "effectively bankrupt." A formal written warning--less blunt--followed a few weeks later, on Feb. 24, 1982.

The Victorian, Graeme Lloyd, was representing the Kansas City Royals, while the New South Welshman, Grant Balfour, had received a recent call-up to the Minnesota Twins pitching roster.

 George Grant
Although he loved the game, he grew frustrated trying to keep the ball from rolling away from him as he attempted to tee off and did not want to swing at the ball while it was moving, thus sending off a wild shot.
On December 12, 1899, Grant patented a golf tee which raised the golf ball (made of rubber at that time) slightly off of the ground, enabling the player greater control with his wooden club and therefore of the direction and speed of the drive.
The tee was made of a small wooden peg with a concave piece of rubber on top to hold the ball and in addition to helping with control over the direction of the shot, it also aided in promoting longer drives.

Lloyd's lawyers said after confronting each other, Lloyd showed Stowers his badge and told him he was a federal officer.
Lloyd then pivoted about 45 degrees, "calmly turned and fired a gun" three times at the moving car, according to Leonardi.

Grant emerges in this nuanced portrait as a quintessential American: he is depicted as a restless rover perpetually in search of "movement, drama, adventure." Firmly situated in his time, he nonetheless seems a strikingly modern man. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Grant's administration was not any more corrupt than the ones that succeeded it, but the fact that it was more corrupt than the ones that preceded it has caused it to be seen as extraordinarily scandalous.
Grant did no less than win the most complex war yet fought by humanity, managing (a word that immediately comes to mind in regard to Grant) in the process unprecedented numbers of troops and mastering the deployment of new weapons systems - such as the river gun-boats - that emerged during the conflict.

Labor, on Wednesday, accused Mr Lloyd of fraud after his office advised Wyong Shire Council to keep quiet about no longer needing all of a $1.5 million federal grant to dredge the silted-up Tumbi creek after heavy rains flushed it open naturally.
Mr Lloyd's special adviser Graeme Hallett wrote an email to the local Liberal MP and some Wyong councillors suggesting they keep their counsel about the rain because any changes to their grant application would mean less money from the commonwealth.
Mr Lloyd rejected any claims of wrongdoing in a late-night address to parliament, saying no money had changed hands and the matter had been dealt with properly.

 Long Island History: Lloyd Harbor
The Lloyds were preceded initially by the Matinecock Indians, who in 1654 sold 3,000 acres on what became Lloyd Neck to three English settlers from Oyster Bay.
The last Lloyd to own the estate was Henry IV, who acquired it in 1841 and built a dock in 1852 as a stop for Oyster Bay-to-New York steamboats.
Matheson's daughter, Anne Wood, leased the Joseph Lloyd Manor House to Charles Lindbergh in 1940-41 and in 1968 donated it to the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities.
