Official Congressional portrait
Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn (October 1, 1838 – September 12, 1918) was a Democratic Representative and Senator from Kentucky. He was the younger brother of Kentucky governor Luke P. Blackburn. Blackburn, a skilled and spirited orator, was also a prominent trial lawyer known for his skill at swaying juries.
He was born near Spring Station, Kentucky. He attended Sayres Institute in Frankfort and graduated from Centre College in Danville in 1857. He studied law in Lexington and was admitted to the bar in 1858. He practiced in Chicago until 1860 when he returned to Woodford County, Kentucky and entered the Confederate Army as a private in 1861.
A staff officer, by the end of the Civil War Blackburn had attained the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war he settled in Arkansas where he was engaged as a lawyer and a planter in Desha County until 1868 when he returned to Kentucky and opened law offices in Versailles.
Blackburn, by Mathew Brady
He was a member of the State house of representatives from 1871 to 1875. He was then elected as a Democrat to the Forty-fourth and to the four succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1875 - March 3, 1885). He was the chairman of the Committee on the District of Columbia (Forty-fifth Congress) and the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of War (Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth Congresses).
In 1885, Lt. Henry T. Allen of the U.S. army named a mountain after Joseph Blackburn. Mount Blackburn is the highest peak in the Wrangell Mountains of the state of Alaska and the fifth highest peak in the United States.
He was elected to the United States Senate in 1885, was reelected in 1890, and served from March 4, 1885, to March 3, 1897. He failed to be reelected in 1896. He was the chairman of the Committee on Rules (Fifty-third Congress). He was once again elected to the United States Senate in 1900 and served from March 4, 1901 to March 3, 1907, but failed in his next election bid in 1906. Loosely associated with the free-silver wing of the Democratic party, he was well-known nationally and his name was placed in nomination for the presidency in 1896.
He was appointed Governor of the Panama Canal Zone by President Theodore Roosevelt on April 1, 1907. He resigned in November 1909 and returned to his estate in Woodford County.
He died in Washington, D.C. and was interred in the State Cemetery in Frankfort.

List of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons episodes
“Point 783” is the 13th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. It was first broadcast in the UK on December 22, 1967 (1967-12-22) on ATV Midlands, was written by Peter Curran and David Williams and directed by Robert Lynn.
In this episode, the Mysterons attempt to kill the Supreme Commander of Earth Forces.
Plot
The episode begins with a demonstration of the latest in computer-controlled weaponry — the Unitron, an unmanned tank impervious to almost all weapons. It is controlled by an operator or can be pre-programmed to attack a designated target until it is totally destroyed.
Two army officers (Major Brooks and Colonel Storm) are killed in a car crash engineered by the Mysterons and re-created to assassinate the Supreme Commander. At a conference headed by the Commander and Captains Scarlet and Blue, in which Scarlet’s “sixth sense” for Mysterons is evident, the Mysterons use Brooks as a walking bomb to try and kill the Commander in the same way they had tried to kill the World President. However this attempt is foiled when Scarlet trips the emergency system in response to his sixth sense. This leaves the second Mysteron agent Colonel Storm to kill the commander.
The Supreme Commander is taken by Captain Blue to Point 783, a military blockhouse on a test range in the Sahara Desert to observe the demonstration of the Unitron. The meeting is also attended by Storm. The demonstration initially proceeds according to plan with the vehicle swiftly destroying a selection of targets. This is until the Commander decides to step outside the bunker, at which point the Unitron starts to attack the building by firing shells from its main gun and then a flamethrower at the blockhouse which starts to weaken under heavy fire. Undamaged by attacks from the Spectrum Angels, the tank moves in for the kill.
Captain Scarlet requisitions a Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle to remove the Commander from the danger. Blue is left in the blockhouse and leaves the Commander in the care of Storm. The SPV speeds away from the building as the Unitron closes in, however after ramming the bunker the tank turns off in pursuit of the SPV. It is then revealed that Storm has programmed it to attack himself rather than just the blockhouse.
Scarlet reasons that this is the case and is held at gunpoint by Storm who shoots him several times at point-blank range. Despite this, Scarlet still manages to eject both himself and the SupremeCommander to safety, leaving Storm in the SPV. The SPV, with Storm still in it, is chased by the Unitron until both vehicles are destroyed when they plummet over a cliff. The Supreme Commander is rescued by Spectrum agents while the wounded Scarlet is taken away for treatment. At the end of the episode Captain Blue explains that the Mysterons will stop trying to kill the Supreme Commander because their agents have been killed.

The procurement of external resources is an important tenet of both the strategic and tactical management of any company. Nevertheless, a theory of the consequences of this importance was not formalized until the 1970s, with the publication of The External Control of Organizations: A Resource Dependence Perspective (Pfeffer and Salancik 1978). Resource Dependence Theory (RDT) has implications regarding the optimal divisional structure of organizations, recruitment of board members and employees, production strategies, contract structure, external organizational links, and many other aspects of organizational strategy.
Resource Dependence Theory is one of many theories of Organizational studies regarding the behavior of organizations. In many ways, the predictions of Resource Dependence Theory are similar to those of Transaction cost economics, but it also shares some aspects with Institutional theory.

The hamsa (Arabic: ???? ?, khamsa, lit. five, also romanized khamsa and chamsa) is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The hamsa is often incorporated in jewellery and wall hangings, as a defence against the evil eye. It is believed to originate in ancient practices associated with the Phoenicians of Carthage.

Symbolism
Another Arabic name for the hamsa (or khamsa) Hamsa hands often contain an eye symbol. Depictions of the hand, the eye, or the number five in Arabic (and Berber) tradition is related to warding off the evil eye, as exemplified in the saying khamsa fi ainek (”five in your eye”). Another formula uttered against the evil eye in Arabic is khamsa wa-khamis.
The khamsa is the most popular of the different amulets to ward off the evil eye in Egypt—others being the Eye, and the Hirz (a silver box containing verses of the Koran). The Hand (Khamsa) has long represented blessings, power and strength and is thus seen as potent in deflecting the evil eye. It’s one of the most common components of jewellery in the region.
Archaeological evidence indicates that a downward pointing hamsa used as a protective amulet in the region predates its use by members of the monotheistic faiths. It is thought to have been associated with Tanit, the supreme deity of Carthage (Phoenicia) whose hand (or is some cases vulva) was used to ward off the evil eye.
The hamsa’s path into Jewish culture, and its popularity particularly among the Sephardic Jewish community, can be traced through its use in Islam. Jews sometimes call it the hand of Miriam, referencing the sister of the biblical Moses and Aaron. Five (hamesh in Hebrew) represents the five books of the Torah for Jews. It also symbolizes the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, “Heh”, which represents one of God’s holy names. Many Jews believe that the five fingers of the hamsa hand remind its wearer to use their five senses to praise God.

Usage
There are two main styles of a hamsa hand: the stylized hamsa hand with two symmetrical thumbs, and hamsa hands that are not symmetrical and shaped like actual hands. Either hamsa hand can be worn with the fingers pointing up or down.
The hamsa is popular as a charm most often worn as a necklace, but can be found as a decorative element in houses, on key chains, on other jewellery items. Many artists use the image of the hamsa hand in jewelry, paintings, sculptures, wall decorations, and amulets.
The renewed interest in Kabbalah and mystical Judaism is a factor in bringing the hamsa pendant back into vogue. In Jewish mysticism, fish are a symbol of good luck, so many hamsas are also decorated with fish images. Sometimes hamsas are inscribed with Hebrew prayers, such as the Sh’ma, Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler’s Prayer).
