	George Biddell Airy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In June 1835 Airy was appointed Astronomer Royal in succession to John Pond, and began his long career at the national observatory which constitutes his chief title to fame.
		The condition of the observatory at the time of his appointment was such that Lord Auckland, the first lord of the Admiralty, considered that "it ought to be cleared out," while Airy admitted that "it was in a queer state." With his usual energy he set to work at once to reorganize the whole management.
		He remodelled the volumes of observations, put the library on a proper footing, mounted the new (Sheepshanks) equatorial and organized a new magnetic observatory.

	Florien Freestate Festival - Sabine Parish Louisiana
		The Sabine Free State Festival celebrates the period in Western Louisiana's history when, in 1806, this region was declared a "neutral ground" pending settlement of a dispute between Spain and the U. as to the location of the western boundary of the Louisiana Purchase.
		The Sabine Neutral Strip Historical Foundation and the Sabine Freestate Festival were organized to commemorate the great historical events leading to the establishment and termination of the "neutral ground" between the territory of the United States and the territory of his Catholic Majesty (Spain) west of the Mississippi River.
		The greatest concern of the United States at this time was not the precise location of the western boundary of this territory but was the French possession of New Orleans by which they could control the Mississippi River and the Gulf.

		We now see that the French state, one of the most expensive, intrusive and arrogant there is, falls on its face when it is asked to perform its core function of providing physical security to lives and property.
		Spain eventually settled on the Arroyo Hondo (and by extension the Calcasieu River as the boundary) and the U.S. claimed the Sabine River as the boundary.
		Thus, an area from the Calcasieu River on the east, the Sabine River on the west and from near Natchitoches in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south, containing approximately 5000 square miles, was in dispute.

	Historic Information - Sabine Parish Louisiana on Toledo Bend Lake
		Following the Louisiana Purchase between the U.S. and Spain, Sabine Parish became neutral ground or "No Man's Land" as it was home to outlaws and renegade Indians, having no law or enforcement agencies.
		The "Neutral Strip" or "Sabine Free State", was a demilitarized zone provided for by the Neutral Ground Treaty between the United States and Spain in 1806.
		A government survey in 1831 laid out the Sabine area in townships and sections and this, together with the clearing of the Red River "raft" by Henry Miller Shreve opened the Red River to steamboat traffic and gave impetus to the colonization of the area.

		Transmission in the population of the Free State is low, possibly due to the success of the DOTS programme and the absence of the Beijing family of strains.
		On the basis of a literature study and the initial examination of empirical material gathered in three high-burden areas of the Free State, they came to the conclusion that a broad conceptualisation of deprivation, and not a standard measurement of poverty, is pivotal in explaining noncompliance with DOTS.
		The study was conducted at nine clinics in the Free State province (South Africa) in three high-burden (rural and urban) areas.
