> Harry Smith, who has been working dark matches as a tag team with Austin Theory, actually signed with the company in April but everyone was told to keep it quiet until he debuted. He was told to stop working indie dates. John Laurinaitis recruited him heavily. He had met with Tony Khan at a party and Jim Ross has always been a big proponent of his. The original idea was for the NXT U.K. brand and be the top U.K. babyface and feud with Walter over the title, but COVID changed all that. Laurinaitis pushed hard for him to be on the main roster and Vince wanted him on Smackdown.

The only trades which it seems possible for a joint stock company to carry on successfully, without an exclusive privilege, are those, of which all the operations are capable of being reduced to what is called a routine, or to such a uniformity of method as admits of little or no variation. Of this kind is, first, the banking trade; secondly, the trade of insurance from fire, and from sea risk and capture in time of war; thirdly, the trade of making and maintaining a navigable cut or canal; and, fourthly, the similar trade of bringing water for the supply of a great city.

Stumbled across this while researching Mormon irrigation, apologies if this already widely known. Phrenology was/is a mostly abandoned pseudo-science popular in the 19th century which analyzed character by examining the skull.
βOn 2 July 1842 the Nauvoo Wasp contained a letter from A. Crane, M.S., pro- fessor of phrenology, alluding to the "large number of persons in different places" who wished to know "the phrenological development of Joseph Smith's head." Having examined the Prophet and obtained his permission to publish the results, Crane gave his analysis under the usual phrenological categories. The Prophet rated high in Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, Approbativeness, and Self-esteem; in other words, he was "passionately fond of the company of the other sex," exhibited "strong parental affection" and "ambition for distinction," and possessed "highmindedness, independence, self-confidence, dignity (and) aspira- tion for greatness."
