Wichita City Council fails to elect new member
Wichita City Council members failed Tuesday to select a new council member to represent District 3 in the south part of the city.
The council heard from five finalists for the position formerly held by James Clendenin, who resigned in December. Statements were made by Jared Cerullo, Cindy Miles, Virgil Miller, Joseph Shepard, and George Theoharis.
The council had five ballots that ended with the same results. Cerullo had three votes, Shepard had two and Miles had one. Four votes were needed to select the new council member.
By city ordinance, the council will conduct another five ballots at its next meeting on March 16th. If there is no winner at that time, the vote goes to the next council meeting and if there is no clear winner again, a coin flip will be held to decide.

Sir Charles Wilkins (1749 – 1836) was an English typographer and Orientalist. He is notable as the creator (assisted by engraver Panchanan Karmakar) of the first Bengali typeface., Source: British Library
While in London about the year 1770, William Bolts required some types for printing in Bengali. Such types were non-existent, and the type foundry of Joseph Jackson was engaged to prepare a font. In I773 or I774 he suddenly left for India, and the types remained behind. Some years later the font, still incomplete, found its way to the establishment of William Caslon III. They were museum pieces

Farther Afield: Art the Old-Fashioned Way Brian Allen

I’ve been intrigued by the Florence Academy of Art in Italy for years. It’s a small, prestigious art school that revived the kind of education Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent, Abbott Handerson Thayer, and George de Forest Brush had, as well as hundreds of other Americans who studied in Paris in the late nineteenth century. It’s an atelier and draws on teaching principles once used in the best French art schools but also by the Old Masters. I visited in September. There are 130 students from thirty-five countries occupying what was once an old customs house a short walk from the Arno River and the historical center of Florence. This year is its thirtieth anniversary.
