  Pitcairn's islanders confront lasting culture of rape - The Boston Globe
Now the Pitcairn way of life is under challenge by a modern world that believes basic legal standards, including laws against rape, sex with underage girls, and child molestation, should be enforced in even the most inaccessible places on earth.
Eight accusers, who all moved away from the island, portray Pitcairn as a closed society in which the most vulnerable members were easy prey and had nowhere to turn for help.
As the trials began, some island women called a news conference to support the men and make the case that sex between men and girls on the island is consensual.

 Norfolk Island - Bloodless Genocide
Norfolk Island was henceforth to be a seperate and distinct colony for the former inhabitants of Pitcairn Island.
Much of the vice-regal dissatisfaction seems to stem from the cheerful willingness of the Norfolk Islanders to admit oursiders to their ranks as residents of the Island, usually through marriage to Pitcairn girls.[c] It was felt that the isolation of the islanders and their morals were being corrupted by these outside influences.
The offenders were the new Chief Magistrate, his son the new Registrar, and one of the two police constables, all sent from New South Wales to administer and regulate the Island.

 Horseshoe Curve, NRHS - Pitcairn Yards
Pitcairn was named for Robert Pitcairn, the superintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Pittsburgh division, when it was incorporated in 1894.
The Pitcairn yard complex consisted of fanning out the four track main line into about three dozen tracks, which had the facility to assemble extensive freight trains, areas for classifying and receiving and humps for westbound (constructed in 1903) and eastbound (built in 1907) traffic.
The Pitcairn yards were the first to use the new Westinghouse system of automatic switching to slow down the trains and move them to other tracks (presumably in the hump yards).

 Plan to double Pitcairn population - World - www.theage.com.au
Pitcairn's New Zealand-based commissioner Leslie Jacques, who is en route to the island for a month's visit, believes it can cash in on its notoriety.
Before leaving New Zealand, he said the island's website was still getting 1,000 hits a week generated by the publicity and this awareness would attract more tourists to the island.
The new breakwater would make it safer for small vessels to dock in Bounty Bay and thus easier for tourists, many of whom are elderly people off cruise ships, to visit the island.

In the late 1700s, Glover Perrin, his family, and his six siblings and their families settled an area of Western New York which became known as Perinton when it was officially established by the New York State Legislature on May 26, 1812.
The Village of Fairport, an approximately one square mile area within the Town of Perinton, was drained of its unhealthy swamps by the new canal, and the north-south route through the village served as a natural highway for farmers to bring produce to the canal.
The new buildings do, however, maintain the ambiance of a canal village, and allow Fairport to capitalize on the recreational aspects of the canal that have superseded its commercial use.

 May 31, 1889 Johnstown Flood by The New York Times
For days after the disaster, The New York Times ran articles spotlighting the flood itself and the predicament of those who survived it: members of a community whose understanding of disease and contamination was still rudimentary.
The scene of the disaster is cut off entirely from all manner of communication and has been since 6 o'clock this evening, and fragmentary details of the character and extent of the calamity only have come to hand from various places in the valley.
About 6 o'clock Superintendent Robert Pitcairn of the Pennsylvania Rialroad telegraphed from Sang Hollow, at the gap in the Laurel Ridge mountains west of Johnstown, that he he had seen about two hundred persons afloat on gondola cars, shanties, andc., and that the disaster was appalling.
