I believe a Gladys Sequoia (nee DeSouza) learnt in the late 20's / early 30's at Bombay Flying Club, Santa Cruz, Bombay. She was a catholic and whilst not the first Hindu woman, was the first native Indian woman if indeed she flew in the late 20's.

names such as Li, Wu, Hong, Wen, Zhi, Ming, and Ya were popular names back then

Jim Jarvis was a street urchin in the East End of London in the late 19th Century.He had a best freind called Jack Summers also now as carrots who died of starvation behind some crates. In 1866 Thomas Barnardo (who was only 20 years old) arrived in London, from his home in Dublin, to study medicine at the London Hospital before going to work as a missionary in China.

Whilst waiting to take up his studies, Barnardo helped out at a Ragged School (a place where anyone and everyone who wanted to 'learn' was welcome). One evening, as the school was closing, one of the young boys lagged behind. This was Jim Jarvis who, on questioning by Thomas, was found to have no mother or father and was sleeping rough on the rooftops along with hundreds of other children. Inititally, Barnardo didn't believe this - until Jim took him to some of the many 'lays' where children slept huddled together for warmth.

Seeing this, Thomas realised that there was plenty to be done to help these youngsters and all plans for going to China were abandoned.

The following year, Thomas was invited to speak at a Missionary Conference at the Agricultural Hall in Islington. He told of Jim and of the plight of the destitute children. His speech was well received and printed in the Times. Lord Shaftesbury heard the speech and invited Thomas to dine. Together they went out at night to see these waifs and Shaftesbury offered his support.

Jim Jarvis went on to become a very successful businessman - but never forgot his debt to Barnardo.

So the short answer is that Jim Jarvis was the catalyst for the setting up of the Dr Barnardo's Homes charity which, by the time of Barnardo's death (from angina) in 1905 had rescued some 60,000 children from a life of poverty and destitution.

The United States pushed forward economically due to industrialization. Companies were able to produce an excess of products, and needed to move beyond the borders of the country. In addition, the country began to push forward its democratic ideology and warned that while it was willing to do so diplomatically, it would have no problem using its military strength to back it up.

The Cherokee legends state they were there since the earth was formed. There are legends that talk of 'the great flood' (if this was the glacial runoff from the ending of the ice age) then 20,000 years. Scientists have carbon dated items in that area back to 4,000 BC. So, take your pick; 4,000 to 20,000 years.

The main reason the United States put an embargo on Cuba was because of pressure from US business whose property had been nationalized by the Cuban government without payment. Another reason for the embargo was pressure from refugees and immigrants from Cuba, who favored actions taken against Castro's government.

There is a link below to an article on the embargo.

Toronto was the first Canadian city to have a subway.

The proposal for a subway was overwhelmingly approved by Toronto's voters in a 1946 plebiscite. The federal government had originally promised to pay for 20% of the project, but later reneged. As a result, construction did not begin until September 8, 1949.

Toronto's subway was officially opened on March 30, 1954, by Toronto Mayor Allan Lamport and Ontario Premier Leslie Frost.
