...began planning an attack on England. When the Lancastrians renewed their efforts to build a fleet at Sandwich, Warwick attacked and occupied the town in May 1460. Leaving a small Yorkist force in Sandwich, he returned to Calais to prepare his army. On June 26, he returned with 2,000 men. Marching on London, the Yorkist ranks quickly swelled to 20,000-30,000 men. Alerted to Warwick's arrival in England, King Henry VI elected to move his 10,000-15,000-man army from Coventry to Northampton. Commanded by the Duke of Buckingham, the king's army occupied a defensive position along the River Nene. Placing the river at their back, they dug a water-filled ditch across their front and topped it with pointed stakes. Though the bulk of Henry's army consisted of men-at-arms, he did possess some field artillery. Informed that Henry's army had shifted, Warwick moved north from London towards Northampton. While his army was on the march, Warwick dispatched a messenger asking to meet with the king. Arriving at Northampton, this messenger was denied access to Henry by Buckingham and told that "The Earl of Warwick shall not come to the King's...

In connection with this, the management of NGI is considering several means of increasing the shareholders value.

...proceedings, except for the actual symptoms and the witches themselves, were controlled by God. From the identification of witches to the executions of the sorcerers, numerous, if not all, of the individuals involved justified their actions by saying that they were doing God’s work. In 1734, almost 40 years after the Salem trials, people in Northampton, Massachusetts began to exhibit symptoms similar to those of the allegedly afflicted girls in Salem. Similar to Salem, the individuals affected in Northampton were a group of young friends. However, the places differed with how the officials of each town decided to interpret the events. In Salem, the high-ranking residents blamed witchcraft for the unexplainable behaviors of the girls. The inhabitants of Northampton placed fault with the opposite force. Instead of the religious leaders construing the symptoms as demonic like in Salem, the church community of Northampton concluded that the behaviors of the young residents were caused by God. Rather than turning to trials and executions as a solution for the mysterious behaviors, Northampton found inspiration in God and the Bible. While Northampton serves as an example where the entirety of events was interpreted as divine, Salem was home to a few isolated cases that caused similar conclusions to be drawn. Included amongst these instances was the situation of Mercy Short. Short, a servant girl from Boston, encountered Sarah Good after running an errand at the Boston jail, which served...

...Creating the American Republic: Caleb Strong The Strong family had been in Massachusetts since the late 1600’s. Caleb’s ancestor, Elder John Strong came to America from Somerset, England in 1659. As soon as he arrived he settled in Northampton, Massachusetts and established a tannery. He bought and granted land throughout Western Massachusetts, became a leader of the town, and was ordained as an elder in 1663.

...contract. A well-known principle of the law of contract holds that consideration must be sufficient but does not need to be adequate. It means that consideration must be of identifiable value whatever how small it is but cannot be as same valuable as the other party’s one. (Nicola, 2010 P44) However, when the duty arose under a previous contract with the same person, it is an existing duty also an insufficient consideration. Similarly, when the duty arose under the general law of the land or when the duty arose under a previous contract with a third party, it performs as an existing duty. (Nicola, 2010 P45) Is there any sufficient consideration provided by Jack for the promise of￡2,000 by Northampton Town FC or is he just carrying out his contracted duty? Jack made a contract with Northampton Town FC to lay new turfs so it is an existing duty for Jack.He is just carrying out his contracted duties to finish the job. In another word, it is an insufficient consideration of him to create a new contract. It was not possible to create two contracts by giving the same person the same consideration twice. E.g. in the case Stilk v Myrick (1809), the captain refused to paid the sailors the wages which he promised in the case of two sailors had deserted. It is a similar example to prove the principle. (Nicola, 2010 P46) Conversely, the case Hartley v Ponsonby (1857) were similar to Stilk v Myrick except that half of crew had deserted. It is dangerous to continue the voyage so the sailors...

...Volume 97 Page 25 Bangladeshi Leather Industry: An Overview of Recent Sustainable Developments H. L. PAUL1, A. P. M. ANTUNES1, A. D. COVINGTON1, P. EVANS1 and P. S. PHILLIPS2 Institute for Creative Leather Technologies, School of Science and Technology, University of Northampton, Boughton Green Road, Northampton, NN2 7AL, U.K. 2 Environmental and Materials Sciences, School of Science and Technology, University of Northampton, Avenue Campus, Northampton, NN2 6JD, U.K. Abstract The Government of Bangladesh has indentified the leather sector as one with considerable growth and investment potential ranked fifth in the export earning sector. Currently Bangladesh produces and exports quality bovine and ovine, caprine (buffalo and cow; sheep and goat) leathers that have a good international reputation for fine textured skins. However, the entire leather sector meets only 0.5% of the world’s leather trade worth US$75 billion. There are about 113 tanneries in Bangladesh that produce 180 million square feet of hides and skins per year. In addition there are about 30 modern shoe manufacturing plants engaged in the production of high-quality footwear, with over 2500 smaller footwear manufacturers also present in the sector. There are around 100 small-to-medium leather goods manufacturers, and a small number of niche larger manufacturers. The sector directly employs approximately 558 000 people. Most of the tanneries do not have proper effluent plants and generate 20 000m3 tannery effluent...

...During the birth of many nations, the founding governments struggle to find a perfect balance of economic stability and political bliss. It was no different after the American Revolutionary War ended in the United States. The Revolutionary War had a devastating economic impact on the newly established country ("Shay's Rebellion - Historic Northampton Museum and Education Center"). With the large acquired debt, the first thing the new government decided was to raise taxes on its citizens to make up for their economic loss. When most people gain a position in any government system they quickly forget that it was the so called, “little people” that got them there ("Daniel Shays"). This very idea of ignoring a group of individuals needs is what...

...Her older kids had to stay behind and her son was sold to another slave owner in Alabama. This had been an illegal trade and Truth ended up finding out about what her old slave owner did to her son.

...itinerant preacher, Charles Wesley, loaned him a book called “The Life of God in the Soul of Man”. This book was the impetus that led Whitefield to craft his inspirational sermons about the “new birth”. It was to lead to the modern renewal of the religious concept of being “born again”. From that time forward Whitefield dedicated his life to preaching this “gospel” to whoever would listen. Thousands did, first in England, and then in every colony in America. Individual Freedom Although Whitefield had already preached with profound effect to thousands in Philadelphia and New York, this spiritual awakening was to explode when he made a trip to New England in the fall of 1740. He preached to thousands in Boston and spent four days at the Northampton Congregationalist church where Jonathon Edwards was the pastor. He only spent a month in New England but his message...
