Franziska "Franzi" Stern Groszmann (December 27, 1904 – September 20, 2005) was possibly the last surviving mother of the Kindertransport. She sent her daughter (born 1928), now a writer known as Lore Segal, to England following Kristallnacht. Groszmann's husband, Ignatz, a Vienna accountant before the Holocaust, died at the end of World War II following a series of strokes.

Segal, with her mother and grandmother, emigrated to New York City from the Dominican Republic in 1951 and lived together in a small apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Media
Groszmann served as a  consultant on the documentary Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport. Groszmann and Segal also appeared in Melissa Hacker's Academy Award-winning 1996 film My Knees Were Jumping.

Death
Groszmann died on September 20, 2005, aged 100. She was survived by her daughter, two grandchildren, two great-grandsons and a brother, Paul Stern.

Warren S. Brown (born September 8, 1944) is a professor of psychology in the Graduate School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary and the founding director of the Travis Research Institute.  Brown received his doctorate in Experimental Physiological Psychology from the University of Southern California (1971).  Prior to Fuller, Brown spent 11 years as a research scientist at the UCLA Brain Research Institute.  He was a founding member of the National Organization for Disorders of the Corpus Callosum, the International Research Consortium on the Corpus Callosum and Cerebral Connectivity (IRC5), and the International Society for Science and Religion.The "Warren and Janet Brown Scholarship", given annually at Fuller to support students in neuropsychological research, was created to honor Brown and his wife.

Neuropsychological research
Warren Brown is involved in experimental neuropsychological research related to functions of the corpus callosum of the brain and its relationship to higher cognitive processes in humans. In particular, he has been studying the implications of agenesis of the corpus callosum (i.e., congenital absence of the corpus callosum, the pathway that connects the right and left hemispheres).  Brown has been interested in the implications of this disorder for mental abilities and social awareness. Over the last 30 years his lab has conducted one of the largest studies accomplished thus far (both in number of subjects and depth of testing) on cognitive and social disabilities of individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum. He has authored or coauthored over 100 scholarly articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals; 60 other articles and chapters in edited scholarly books; and over 200 presentations at scientific meetings. Over the last 5 years, Brown and his students have also studied of the cognitive and psychosocial abilities of adults who had a hemispherectomy in childhood.

Texas Citizens for Science (TCS) is a Texas-based advocacy group that works to protect the accuracy and reliability of science education in Texas. Its main activity is to oppose organized creationism in Texas, especially at the Texas State Board of Education, Texas Education Agency, Texas Legislature, and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

TCS was formed in January 2003 as the successor to the Texas Council for Science Education that was active during 1980-1994.

Steven Schafersman, the president of the organization, is a geologist and former university professor.

In 2003, TCS was involved in opposing the introduction of creationism in hearings conducted by the Texas State Board of Education on biology textbooks. Schafersman testified before the board.

In 2007-2008, TCS provided information to the public about the forced resignation of Christine Comer from the Texas Education Agency and the attempt of the Institute for Creation Research to win Texas certification to offer master's degrees in science education.

Chrystal Falls is a novel series that was written over seven books by various ghost writers dealing with the residents of a fictional (and fiercely divided) Pennsylvania town. The books were published by Scholastic in the mid-1980s.

Plot summary

Chrystal Falls is a mill community in Pennsylvania which is bisected by the Rapid River.  The community was divided along class and economic strata lines, between the "Hill" where all the mansions were and the well-to-do lived; and the "Mill" area, the slightly more depressed area where the people who are employed by the Chrystal Mills live.

The town's richest family was the Chrystal Family, whose ancestors founded the community and the mills.  Alexander, a prominent attorney, his socialite wife Elizabeth; his parents; and their children, Chelsea and Amy.  They also had a son, Montgomery, called Monty, who was away at a reform school for arson.

Recently widowed doctor, Barbara Newhouse (née Barbara Gilbert) had just moved to Chrystal Falls, with her two children, Dawn and Josh.  She joined the hospital staff, along with her brother, Walter, who was Chrystal Falls' most beloved physician.  The family had lived in an apartment near the hospital for the first few months, until they moved into a larger house.

Most of the conflict in the story was between the populace over their location.  It was often dealing with the Hill vs. Mill situation.  Dawn, although she was related to someone who lived in the Hill section (because her uncle and mother were doctors) and was later classified as being part of the Hill crowd, had friends on both sides of the fence.  To her, it mattered not who was Hill or who was Mill, she liked them basically as they were.

Dawn's best friend was Chelsea Chrystal, who had fallen in love with her brother, Josh. Not liking this choice of friendship was Chelsea's former steady date, Ryan Simpson, nicknamed Simp the Wimp, who was also a crack Tennis player, but was dethroned in that sport by Josh,  also, Alexander Chrystal didn't like the idea of Chelsea dating Josh, although he enjoyed Dawn's company.  Dawn got along wonderfully with the rest of the Chrystal family as well as with Chelsea.

Chelsea's other friend, Perky Palmer, the daughter of one of her father's law partners, was a vicious schemer whose constant lies had almost sent some of the Mill kids to jail. She was often derisively called the "Palmer Witch".  However, eventually, Perky and Ryan began to unbend to Dawn and somewhat welcomed her into their circle of friends.  Another friend was Ian McFarland, a young cultured man, who was friends with both Chelsea and Dawn.

Dawn's other friends included Mill kids, Karen Pickett; her boyfriend, Mitch; and her nascent love interest, Pete Carter, the son of a union leader at the mill.  To quote Karen, whenever any of her Mill friends cut down Dawn, she would say that "Dawn's not a nut case, she's a very nice, decent person, and if the Hill had more of her, Chrystal Falls would be a better town." (quote from book #3 The Bad and the Beautiful)  This stems from Dawn's stubbornness and her insistence that there was good in everyone, which explains why she is friendly with students from both factions.

What made it worse, was that the Hill vs. Mill conflict also entered into some of the adults lives and judgments.  Some of the teachers and administrators blatantly gave the Hill kids preferential treatment, whilst the Mill kids got punished more harshly, and also on the flip side, people would gossip more harshly about the Hill people when they get away with something that the Mill people couldn't get away with.

Dawn, because of her neutrality, was punished in variable states, until she got more acclimated into the school and community life. To the administrators, she was later considered to be part of the Hill group because of her family's status as doctors.

The one member of their extended family that really had a lot of animosity towards them was Walter's wife, Victoria (called Aunt Vicki).  At first, the Newhouses thought that their son, Tim, was bad, but it shocked them all that Tim was very nice and unpretentious, like his father, while his mother was hell-bent on making her sister in-law and her niece and nephew Hill people.  Even Perky Palmer, at her worst, was more tolerable compared to Dawn's Aunt Vicki.

Much of the stories centered around the students at Chrystal Falls high school; and the requisite romances.  Other situations include where Dawn was either kidnapped or injured; had to testify in court, or had to referee squabbles between her diverse set of friends, due to their prestige, or lack thereof.

Mannheim Road, also known as La Grange Road from Cermak Road to U.S. Route 30 (US 30; Lincoln Highway), is a north–south major street in the near-western suburbs of Chicago. It carries US 12 from Des Plaines to 95th St near Hickory Hills, US 45 between Des Plaines on southwards past Frankfort, Illinois and carries US 20 between Lake Street in Stone Park, Illinois and 95th St. near Hickory Hills.

The road is named after a former town called Mannheim that was founded by German farmers in what is now Franklin Park. From Cermak Road on the Westchester–La Grange Park border and points to the south, it is known as La Grange Road. On some small intersections on the part named La Grange Road, the street signs still call the road Mannheim or Manheim.

Mannheim Road skirts the eastern edge of O'Hare International Airport; numerous airport hotels and rental car services are located on the street near the airport. One major landmark of Mannheim Road is the Allstate Arena at the intersection of Mannheim Road and Lunt Avenue in Rosemont.

There is also a Metra station on the Milwaukee West Line at Mannheim Road; in addition, Metra's BNSF Railway Line has a stop on La Grange Road in La Grange. Also, there is an overpass that carries Mannheim Rd over Union Pacific's Proviso rail yard. There is another overpass that carries the street over CPKC's Bensenville railroad yard. At the descent of that overpass the road goes under the Tri-State Tollway.

There's also a school district on the left side of the street named Mannheim School District 83 on the intersection of Grand Avenue and Mannheim Road itself in Franklin Park. North Avenue also dips under Mannheim Road in Melrose Park.

In the southwest suburbs, the street (under the name LaGrange Road) acts as the main commercial street for the suburb of Orland Park, the area's major commercial center. The road continues as a major commercial arterial for Frankfort, where it veers southwest past Route 30 and continues south through Green Garden Township under various signage before picking up Route 52 south of Andres, in Peotone Township, from where it continues to its final termination at IL Route 102 in Bourbonnais.

Conan, the sword-and-sorcery character created by Robert E. Howard, is the protagonist of seven major comic series published by Dark Horse Comics. The first series, titled simply Conan, ran for 50 issues from 2004 to 2008; the second, titled Conan the Cimmerian, began publication in 2008 and lasted 25 issues until 2010; the third series, titled Conan: Road of Kings, started publishing in December 2010 and ended in January 2012 after 12 issues; a fourth series, titled Conan the Barbarian, continuing from Road of Kings, lasted 25 issues from February 2012 to March 2014; a fifth series, titled Conan the Avenger, started publishing in April 2014 and ended in April 2016 after 25 issues; a sixth and final series, titled Conan the Slayer lasted 12 issues from July 2016 to August 2017.

Another series, titled King Conan, which takes place during Conan's time as king, ran in parallel for 24 issues from February 2011 to March 2016. Dark Horse also published half a dozen one-shots and almost a dozen mini-series.

Dark Horse also published collections of the original Marvel Comics Conan the Barbarian, The Savage Sword of Conan [the Barbarian] and King Conan series in graphic novel format.

The publishing rights for Conan the Barbarian returned to Marvel Comics in 2018.

Overview
Dark Horse Comics began their take on Conan in 2003 with a one-shot prologue, Conan #0: Conan the Legend.

The Conan, Conan the Cimmerian, Conan: Road of Kings, Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Avenger and Conan the Slayer series incorporate both new material and adaptations of stories by Robert E. Howard, with no other connection to Marvel Comics series or other post-Howard material. An ongoing dialogue between two characters, the Prince and the Wazir, living in an age centuries in Conan's future, is often used as a framing device for the stories.

Each issue also contains "The Adventures of Two-Gun Bob (True Stories from the Life of Robert E. Howard)" by Jim & Ruth Keegan.

Conan
The six main Dark Horse Conan series, Conan, Conan the Cimmerian, Conan: Road of Kings, Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Avenger and Conan the Slayer make up a larger continuous storyline. This is indicated by numbering on the inner cover of these books with the text, "Number [#] in a series".

Conan
Conan was Dark Horse Comics' first series about Conan the Cimmerian. The comic's art consists of only color and pencilwork, with no inkwork, providing a painterly aesthetic. The series follows Dale Rippke's "Darkstorm" chronology.  The story "Helm" in Conan #18 addresses one of the major "faults" in that chronology.

Controversy

Starting at issue #24, Tony Harris became the cover artist.  One of the first pieces of art Harris submitted to Conan editor Scott Allie was a fully nude version of the cover of #24.  Allie inserted the artwork in a blurb at the back of Conan and the Demons of Khitai #3.  This displeased some comic store owners, and Conan and the Demons of Khitai #3 was reprinted with a censored cover in the blurb.  Even so, 4,000 copies of Conan #24 were printed with the nude cover, and distributed through the Diamond Dateline retail newsletter shrink-wrapped in black plastic.

Paso Doble is a German Neue Deutsche Welle (new German wave) band that formed in 1983. Their songs "Computerliebe", "Herz an Herz" and "Fantasie" have appeared on several Best of NDW/new wave compilations. They are well known for their unique sound as well as their unusual style and choreography, which have a Spanish style to go with the band's name, Paso Doble.

Career
In 1979, Rale Oberpichler, a young singer who worked mainly as a background vocalist, wanted to go solo and was looking for a songwriter. She met Frank Hieber, a pianist, keyboarder and composer who had worked with various groups and singers including Rio Reiser, Nena and Peter Schilling on his international hit "Major Tom (Coming Home)". Together, they formed Paso Doble.

In 1985, they released their first single "Computerliebe" ("computer love", not to be confused with the Kraftwerk song of the same name), which debuted on the TV show Extratour and hit number 1 on the charts for several weeks. They also had a very well received appearance in the Hitparade in March 1985. The first album they released was Fantasie and the title track also spent several weeks at number 1.

What would have been their second album, Versunkener Schatz, which they produced in 1986, was never released. Two of the songs were published as singles: "Herz an Herz" and "Magische Nacht". The album was eventually made available to the public via downloads on AOL, iTunes and MusicLoad.

The band decided to shift their work to a production and publishing side, while still releasing the occasional single and remixes. In 1992, they founded the Paso Doble Music Publishing House.

They returned to the stage after having some hiatus. A new 12" single, "Message angekommen", was released in 2005. Their two most famous songs, "Computerliebe" and "Herz an Herz", have been covered by Das Modul and Blümchen, respectively. 2020 marked a comeback, and a new album was released.

Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye (CLBA) is a Santería church in Hialeah, Florida. The church practices Cuba's  Santería or Lucumí tradition / Regla de Ocha.

CLBA was founded and incorporated in 1974 by Oba Ernesto Pichardo and his associates. In the 1980s, the church decided to begin public services in Hialeah. The city of Hialeah responded by passing four ordinances which outlawed animal sacrifice. The dispute between the church and Hialeah went to the Supreme Court of the United States; the case, Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, was resolved in CLBA's favor.

Scydrothemis (r. 301-280 BC) was a ruler of the Greek colony of Sinope on the southern shore of the Black Sea (modern day Sinop, Turkey). Scydrothemis was a tyrant. His name has a barbarian, perhaps a Paphlagonian, sound and Tacitus gives him the title of king, which is in fact more accurately descriptive than tyrant.

Ptolemy I sent ambassadors to visit the shrine of Pythian Apollo at Delphi. They took with them gifts for Scydrothemis. The leader was afraid of this embassy, at the same time fearing divine will as well as the threats from his own people who opposed the transaction, although he found the gifts tempting. Years passed and Ptolemy continued his appeals to Scydrothemis, upgrading his gifts all the time. A terrible apparition confronted Scydrothemis in a dream, forbidding him to delay further the purposes of the god. When he still hesitated, he was plagued by all manner of disasters, by plague and by the manifestation of a divine wrath which became daily more grievous. Then he called his people together and explained to them the orders of the deity, his own vision and that of Ptolemy, and their ever-growing afflictions. The common folk, turning a deaf ear to their king and jealous of Egypt, staged a sit-down strike around the temple in self-defence.

The Miroir or Glasse of the Synneful Soul is a manuscript book that was given to Katherine Parr by her stepdaughter, the future Elizabeth I of England in 1544, when Elizabeth was eleven years old. Elizabeth translated the poem from the French work Miroir de l'âme pécheresse by Marguerite de Navarre, into English prose and wrote the manuscript with her own hand, dedicating it with the words, "From Assherige, the last daye of the yeare of our Lord God 1544 ... To our most noble and vertuous Quene Katherin, Elizabeth her humble daughter wisheth perpetuall felicitie and everlasting joye," Elizabeth probably also embroidered the bookbinding. This book is now owned by the Bodleian Library.

Prayers of Queen Katherine Parr

A second embroidered manuscript book, entitled Prayers of Queen Katherine Parr, is also attributed to Elizabeth as a gift to the queen dated 20 December 1545. It contains prayers or meditations the queen had originally composed in English, which the princess had translated into French, Latin and Italian, handwritten in the princess's hand on vellum. The inscription reads "Precationes ... ex piis scriptoribus per nobiliss. et pientiss. D. Catharinam Anglie, Francie, Hibernieq. reginam collecte, et per D. Elizabetam ex anglico converse." It is, moreover, dedicated to Elizabeth's father Henry VIII, the wording being, "Illustrissimo Henrico octavo, Anglie, Francie, Hibernieq. regi," etc.

Embroidery

The Miroir or Glasse of the Synneful Soul
The Miroir or Glasse of the Synneful Soul measures about  and has an identical design on both covers, worked in blue silk in a tapestry stitch over canvas with interlacing scrollwork of gold and silver braid that joins the queen's initials K.P. in the center. Each corner of the front depicts a heartsease (Viola) in purple, green and yellow silk with gold thread. The back cover is well worn; its corner embroidery is difficult to identify, but was probably floral.

Prayers of Queen Katherine Parr
The second book is smaller than the first, only , and is also bound in canvas. The background is red silk worked in a similar stitching method to the Miroir cover. Most of the design is a large monogram in blue silk and silver thread that contains the letters K, A, F, H, and R. The K refers to Katherine and the other letters probably signify Latin initials for rulership (actual or claimed) of England, France and Ireland. Like the first book, heartsease flowers decorate the corners. The back cover is worn beyond recognition.

Similarities
Both book dedications declare that the written content is the work of Elizabeth. Although no written record definitively affirms the tradition that Elizabeth also worked these embroideries, experts affirm that both covers are the handiwork of the same craftswoman. They use similar heavy grades of silk and silver thread, with thematically similar motifs and similar stitching. Elizabeth is known to have made and embroidered a shirt for her brother Edward when she was six years old. She was an accomplished needlewoman in an era when needlework was held in high esteem.

Cyril Davenport particularly notes the canvas covers as evidence that these embroideries were worked in Elizabeth's own hand. "Canvas bindings were rare – most of the embroidered work on books of that period were splendid works on velvet...instead of very elementary braid work." Canvas is easier to embroider than velvet and there could have been little other reason to use a cheap material for a royal gift, except to facilitate a child's handiwork.

The 76th Infantry Brigade Combat Team ("Night Hawks") is a modular infantry brigade of the United States Army National Guard of Indiana. It is headquartered in Lawrence Readiness Training Center, on the grounds of Fort Benjamin Harrison.

History
In the buildup to World War I, the United States Congress approved the formation of seventeen new National Guard divisions, numbered 26 through 42. The states of Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia were chosen to provide units for the 38th Infantry Division. Indiana's 151st and 152nd Infantry regiments formed the new 76th Infantry Brigade. One field artillery regiment from the 38th Division served in combat in France as part of the new 42nd (Rainbow) Division. The rest of the 38th Division arrived in France in October 1918 and Julius Penn was assigned to command the 76th Brigade. The division's organization and training were still in progress during the war's final offensive, so it was used to provide replacement soldiers for front line units.

The 38th Division was activated for federal service again in 1941, with the same organizational structure that had been used in World War I. However, in 1942, the Army reorganized its structure, and the 76th Brigade ceased to exist as an identifiable military organization.

On 1 March 1963, as part of the Army's Reorganization Objective Army Division (ROAD), the Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the 1st Brigade, 38th Infantry Division was born. Less than 20 months later, it was restored to its 1917 designation of 76th Infantry Brigade, known as the "Blue Devil" Brigade. Since the creation of the 76th Brigade at Indianapolis on 1 November 1965, the unit has moved to Columbus, to Camp Atterbury and to Bedford, with units located throughout southern Indiana.

Out of the ashes of the Blue Devil Brigade, the Nighthawk Brigade was formed. The 76th Infantry Brigade (Separate) was formed on 1 September 1994 at Indianapolis, Indiana this time with units located throughout the state of Indiana. The Nighthawk Brigade was selected to be one of the 15 enhanced brigades with a charter to achieve and maintain a higher state of readiness than previously expected of National Guard brigades. The unit relied heavily on the existing infantry regiments. The lineage of each combat regiment still in Indiana can be found within the brigade.

Under a plan approved by Army Chief of Staff General Eric K. Shinseki, in December 2000 the Army announced which active and reserve forces will see service in Bosnia and Kosovo through May 2005. Under the plan, units from the active Army and reserve forces supported the Stabilization Force mission, known as SFOR, in Bosnia or the Kosovo Force, known as KFOR, for six-month periods. SFOR 11 (April 2002 – October 2002) consists of the 116th Cavalry Brigade (enhanced separate brigade), Idaho Army National Guard; 76th Infantry Brigade (enhanced separate brigade), Indiana Army National Guard. Units from the 34th Infantry Division, Minnesota Army National Guard, also supported SFOR 11.

Late 2002 the 76th BDE was called on to provide a Separate Infantry Battalion to provide support for an escalating campaign in the Middle East. The 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry Regiment was mobilized to camp Arifjan Kuwait on 2 January 2003. The "Nightfighters" set up security for the newly constructed support base. On D+5 the 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry Regiment was called on to move north to support Operation Iraqi Freedom, with the attachment of Company A, 1st Battalion 152nd Infantry, to the vicinity of Tallil Air Base near the city of An Nasiriyah, Iraq.  1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry subsequently returned to Kuwait in the summer and redeployed to Indiana in October 2003. The 1st Battalion, 152nd Infantry "Predators" were mobilized at Camp Atterbury, Indiana on 2 January 2003 and deployed to Kuwait in mid-February 2003.  The 1st Battalion, 152nd Infantry employed companies in Baghdad (initially in support of 5th Special Forces Group), Forward Operating Base Kalsu (approximately 30 miles south of Baghdad in the "Sunni Triangle"), and Convoy Service Center Scania, both of which were along Main Supply Route (MSR) Tampa.  In January 2004, 1st Battalion 152nd Infantry was replaced by 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment and redeployed to Indiana in February 2004.

On 6 April 2004 elements of the 76th Infantry Brigade were ordered to mobilize for deployment to Afghanistan. Three hundred soldiers from the 113th Support Battalion, and an unidentified number of soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 151st Infantry Regiment, the 38th Military Police Company, and the 1438th Transportation Company began deploying in July 2004.

The unit suffered at least four casualties, on 26 March 2005, four soldiers, Captain Michael T. Fiscus, Master Sergeant Michael T. Heister, Specialist Brett M. Hershey, and Private First Class Norman K. Snyder were killed when a mine detonated near their vehicle as they were traveling near Kabul.

In October 2004, the 376th Engineer Company was mobilized for duty in Mosul, Iraq, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

In December 2007, the Brigade was activated again to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Brigade trained for 1 month at Camp Atterbury, Indiana and then on 3 January 2008 moved to Fort Stewart, GA to conduct an additional 2 and 1/2 months training before deploying to Iraq.  Once in Iraq, the Brigade HQ assumed duties of the Garrison Command at Joint Base Balad. The 1st BN 293rd Infantry, also at Balad, was under the Operational Control of the 55th Sustainment Brigade and conducted convoy security missions throughout Central Iraq.  The 1st BN 151st Infantry conducted a similar mission out of Camp Spicher (Tikrit, Iraq). 1–163 FA was assigned Convoy Security duties operating out of Mosul. The 1–152 Cavalry was under the Operational Control of 17th Sustainment Brigade and provide Convoy Security from Q-West.  Other elements of the Brigade were assigned across the country. The Brigade returned to Indiana in December 2008 after a successful mission.

In November 2012, Headquarters Company returned from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Cromer is a railway station in the English county of Norfolk. Because the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GNJR) line approached Cromer from the west, following the coastal clifftops, it avoided the steep escarpment which had prevented the earlier line from Norwich running all the way into the town. Consequently, it became possible to build a far more conveniently located station, near to the town centre and the beach. The station opened as Cromer Beach on 16 June 1887 and was renamed Cromer on 20 October 1969, following the closure of Cromer High station in 1954. It is  down the line from .
Cromer is one of only two former Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway stations to remain operational on the National Rail network; the other being the neighbouring West Runton. Sheringham and Weybourne are the other two surviving M&GNJR stations; both are still served today on the heritage North Norfolk Railway.

Buildings
To cater to the heavy leisure traffic at the end of the 19th century, Cromer Beach had a large station building in a half-timbered style, and a large goods yard. The station originally included a bar, which was closed in 1966. Following the introduction of conductor-guard working, the ticket facilities were no longer needed and the building fell into disuse; it was renovated and reopened as a public house in 1998. A large supermarket was built on the site of the goods yards in 1991.

Services
The station is served by local services operated by Greater Anglia on the Bittern Line from Norwich to Sheringham.

Trains run hourly between Norwich and Sheringham. On weekdays the first train of the day to Norwich starts at Cromer (all other up trains start at Sheringham).
There are fewer services on Sundays, which alternate every hour between a stopping service (calling at all stations) and a semi-fast service that only calls at North Walsham and Hoveton & Wroxham. All of these services are run by bi-mode Class 755 units.

In 1997 a single daily through train to and from London Liverpool Street to Sheringham via Cromer was introduced; it was not heavily used and the service was consequently discontinued.

Because of its historical position as the terminus of the line from Melton Constable and Sheringham to the west, trains running via Cromer reverse direction on leaving the station.

The following services currently call at Cromer:

The Bank of America Building, also known as 10 Light Street and formerly as the Baltimore Trust Company Building, is a 34-story,  skyscraper located at the corner of East Baltimore and Light Streets in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.

Description
10 Light Street was the tallest building in the state, and the tallest office building in the United States south of New York City when constructed in 1929. The Art Deco building was designed by the firm of Taylor and Fisher, and completed in eighteen months, fashioned from Indiana sandstone and local brick over a steel frame at a cost of (U.S.) $3 million.

The building's exterior is decorated with carved Romanesque human and animal images, stylized eagles, and is capped with a copper and gold roof. The ornate, two-story main banking lobby is highly decorated with mosaic floors designed by Hildreth Meiere, and historic murals by Griffith Baily Coale and McGill Mackall on historic themes:  the Baltimore fire of 1904, and the writing of the National Anthem at the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. These mosaics are planned to be covered by artificial turf, so that the historic lobby can be used as an Under Armour gym.

History
Shortly after the Baltimore Trust Company moved into the building in 1929, the Great Depression began and the company floundered. The building was essentially vacant within a year, as the bank went into bankruptcy in 1933 and receivership in 1935. The empty building was subsequently used by the New Deal's Public Works Administration in Maryland.

From the 1940s into the 1960s, the building was first known as the Mathieson Building and then the O'Sullivan Building, reflecting its then-current major tenants.  In 1947, the building housed the transmitter and antenna of WMAR-TV, the first TV station in Maryland and 14th overall in the country and the 3rd CBS affiliate. At that time, just down the Street was Sun Place, the headquarters of the Baltimore Sun who founded the TV station. That top floor is now a private lounge for tenants of the building, but the TV tower atop the building is still there unused to this day.

During those years, Semmes, Bowen and Semmes, a major Maryland law firm with origins in the 19th century, occupied the twenty-first floor, and later as many as four whole floors (when the firm employed almost 150 attorneys), remaining in 10 Light Street until approximately 1990, at what was called the "Baltimore Trust Building", according to the 1952 memoir of Whittaker Chambers, whose Semmes attorneys were Richard F. Cleveland (youngest son of President Grover Cleveland) and William D. Macmillan.

In 1961, the building was purchased by Maryland National Bank, successor of Baltimore Trust, and the building name was changed to "Maryland National Bank Building". Maryland National was itself purchased by NationsBank in 1993, and the name of the building was changed again, to "NationsBank Building". The structure then obtained its current name following the NationsBank merger with BankAmerica in 1997. Major portions of the building were restored, including the copper-clad dome, which is once again floodlit at night.

In December 2012, the building was acquired by a Virginia firm, Metropolitan Partnership Ltd., which plans to convert all floors above the fourth into 445 residential apartments. The lower floors of the building remained available for retail tenants. Bank of America announced that it would close the ground floor banking center in May 2013. Miles & Stockbridge, a prominent Baltimore law firm, had maintained offices in the building since 1932 when one of the firm's founders, Clarence Miles, moved into the building. Now a portion of the ground floor is occupied by the FX Studios & Under Armour Performance Center while the majority of its remainder is employed as apartments or office space, the building now also features a penthouse.

Intense Tropical Cyclone Gamede was among the wettest tropical cyclones on record, dropping more than  of rain in a nine-day period on Réunion island in the southwest Indian Ocean. The seventh named storm of the 2006–07 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Gamede formed south of Diego Garcia on February 19 as a tropical disturbance. It tracked generally westward and steadily intensified, reaching tropical cyclone status on February 23. For two days, Gamede stalled northwest of the Mascarene Islands as an intense tropical cyclone, during which it reached 10 minute maximum sustained winds of winds of , according to the Météo-France meteorological office in Réunion (MFR). The American-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimated peak 1 minute winds of , equivalent to a Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. For four days, Gamede remained within  of Réunion before accelerating southward. On March 2, Gamede transitioned into an extratropical cyclone to the southeast of Madagascar. The MFR tracked the storm for four more days.

Cyclone Gamede first passed near St. Brandon, where its  wind gusts damaged a few windows. When the storm stalled for a few days, it resulted in a prolonged period of heavy rainfall and high tides for the Mascarene Islands. A pluviometer at Commerson Crater recorded worldwide record rainfall amounts over a period of 3–9 days, with a total of . Only Cyclone Hyacinthe in 1980 had a higher recorded rainfall total. The deluge from Gamede caused flooding damage across Réunion, washing out a bridge in the southern portion of the island. Monetary damage on Réunion was estimated at over €165 million (US$120 million). Two people each were killed on Réunion and nearby Mauritius. The storm's outer rainbands affected southeastern Madagascar, becoming the fourth tropical cyclone to affect the country in two months. Later, high waves from Gamede flooded coastal portions of the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Meteorological history

The Intertropical Convergence Zone was active across the Indian Ocean in the middle of February 2007, which spawned a low-pressure area southeast of Diego Garcia on February 18. The system developed convection, or thunderstorms, over a weak, but well-defined low-level circulation. The MFR first began tracking the system as a tropical disturbance on February 19. An anticyclone over the nascent system provided weak wind shear and outflow to the north and east, both favorable conditions for development. With a subtropical ridge to its south, the disturbance tracked generally westward for the first few days of its duration. By late on February 20, the system had organized enough for the MFR to upgrade the disturbance to a tropical depression, and for the JTWC to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert. On the next day, the MFR upgraded the depression to Moderate Tropical Storm Gamede, and the JTWC began issuing advisories on the storm as Tropical Cyclone 15S. At that time, the storm was located about  south-southwest of Diego Garcia, or about  northeast of Rodrigues.

As Gamede continued to intensify, its track shifted to the west-southwest. On February 22, the MFR upgraded the system to a severe tropical storm, and the JTWC upgraded Gamede to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane. An eye became evident on satellite imagery, a sign of the storm's development. The MFR upgraded Gamede to tropical cyclone status on February 23, noting that the system was "very broad". Soon after, the cyclone moved over St. Brandon, one of the Outer Islands of Mauritius; the island recorded a minimum barometric pressure of , and estimated the eyewall diameter at . On February 24, Gamede passed north of Mauritius and Réunion, approaching within  of the latter island. The storm later slowed and stalled, trapped between the subtropical ridge to the south and a ridge to its northeast. For over 90 hours, the cyclone remained within  of Réunion, resulting in torrential rainfall in the island's mountainous region. During this time, Gamede executed a small loop, and the cyclone attained its peak intensity. The MFR estimated peak 10 minute winds of  late on February 25. At the same time, the JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of .

While remaining nearly stationary northwest of the Mascarene Islands, Gamede lost some of its deep convection due to upwelling, the process in which a stationary storm causes the water temperatures to decrease by bringing the cooler, deeper waters to the surface. Early forecasts suggested the possibility that the cyclone would turn westward and strike Madagascar near Toamasina. Instead, a passing trough steered the system to the south-southwest. On February 27, Gamede passed west of Réunion, about halfway between the island and Madagascar. On the next day, the convection near the eye increased slightly. This trend was temporary, as cooler waters and stronger wind shear began affecting Gamede on March 1, leaving the center exposed from the convection. That day, the MFR downgraded Gamede to a severe tropical storm. On March 2, the JTWC discontinued advisories, and the MFR reclassified the storm as an extratropical cyclone. A ridge to its south caused the remnants of Gamede to slow again and execute a small loop southeast of Madagascar. The MFR discontinued advisories on March 4, and the agency tracked the weakening low for two more days at it drifted westward.

Preparations

On St. Brandon, the meteorological staff on the island rode out the storm in the Coast Guard office. In Mauritius, a total of 200 people evacuated to storm shelters due to the cyclone. The Mauritius Meteorological Service issued various tropical cyclone warnings for 66 hours, ultimately raising it to a Class IV warning for 6 hours, the highest warning in which gusts of 120 km/h were recorded and expected to continue.

Officials in Réunion closed schools and also issued a temporary driving ban. Due to the threat of the storm, several flights in and out of Mauritius, Réunion, and Rodrigues were canceled. Fishermen were banned from sailing out to sea.

Impact

With its large circulation, Cyclone Gamede's rainbands affected islands in the south-west Indian Ocean for several days. The storm first affected St. Brandon, where its high tides caused severe beach erosion. The cyclone produced wind gusts of over , strong enough to damage window panes and part of an anemometer. Rainfall on the island reached . Gamede passed south of Agaléga, dropping  of rainfall over a four-day period. The storm's rainfall reached  on Rodrigues.

Rough waves and strong winds affected a cruise ship to the east of Madagascar; several windows were broken, though no serious injuries were reported. Gamede lashed Madagascar's east coast with squalls of heavy rainfall and gusty winds, affecting areas struck by Tropical Storm Clovis two months earlier. Gamede had followed shortly after Tropical Cyclones Bondo, Clovis, and Favio, being the fourth tropical cyclone to impact Madagascar in two months. High waves also struck the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, forcing the temporary closure of beaches, roads, and the Port of Durban.

Mauritius
Remaining near the Mascarene Islands for several days, Gamede dropped heavy rainfall on Mauritius, reaching . Winds on the island reached  at Fort Williams in Port Louis.

Gamede killed two on Mauritius, one of whom drowned in high waves. The storm damaged crops and infrastructure, with power knocked out to 70% of the island's population. Despite warnings to remain inside, several people ventured outside during the storm.

Réunion
The large size of the cyclone resulted in several days of very heavy, continuous rainfall in the mountainous region on Réunion island. The heaviest totals occurred from February 24 through February 28, with a nine-day total of  at Commerson Crater. Several locations on the island reported great totals. In a 24‑hour period, Hell-Bourg reported , and in a 72-hour period, Cilaos reported . A peak wind gust of  was reported on the island. Gamede produced the highest waves along the north and west coast of Réunion in 50 years, with a maximum wave heights of  at Pointe du Gouffre. The prolonged high waves eroded beaches and washed away the promenade at Le Port.

Monetary damage on Réunion from Gamede was at least €165 million (US$120 million). Two people died on the island after attempting to cross rivers during the storm. At least 90 people were injured due to the storm, including two who were seriously injured. The passage of the cyclone left about 100,000 homes without power or water on Réunion. High floodwaters damaged a dyke along the north bank of the Rivière des Galets. Gamede caused heavy crop damage, including to the sugar cane and banana crops. Several roads and bridges were damaged on the island. Floods damaged roads in Saint-André and Salazie, and washed out a  bridge over the Saint Etienne River, part of Route nationale 1 connecting Saint-Louis and Saint-Pierre. The bridge outage left the two towns temporarily isolated.

Aftermath and records

On June 13, 2007, the government of France provided a relief fund to Réunion of €17.6 million (2007 EUR) in aid, including €9.6 million for farmers affected by the cyclone. The assistance provided €7.7 million for repairing roads and infrastructure, including rebuilding the destroyed bridge over the Saint Etienne River. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, officials deployed army resources to establish a temporary aerial bridge while a new bridge was built. The replacement bridge was opened in June 2013.

Réunion island is the location for several tropical cyclone rainfall records; due to the orography of the island, tropical moisture will travel upward to the volcanic peaks, where it cools and codifies into rainfall. Commerson Crater, located at an elevation of , recorded historic rainfall accumulations during the passage of Gamede. The location reported  in 48 hours, which is just short of the worldwide record set by an unnamed tropical cyclone in April 1958. Over 72 hours, Commerson Crater recorded , which surpassed the previous worldwide record for that duration, set by Cyclone Hyacinthe in 1980. The station also broke rainfall records for precipitation totals between four and nine days, with a storm total of  in Commerson Crater. Hyacinthe in 1980 dropped  over 14 days, also at Commerson Crater.

Leon David Black (born July 31, 1951) is an American private equity investor. He is the former CEO of Apollo Global Management, which he co-founded in 1990 with Marc Rowan and Josh Harris. Black was the chairman of the Museum of Modern Art from 2018 to 2021.

Early life and education
Black is a son of Eli M. Black (1921–1975), a Jewish businessman who emigrated from Poland as a child (surname, "Blachowitz") and was known for owning and being chairman of the United Brands Company. His mother, Shirley Lubell (sister of Tulsa oil executive Benedict I. Lubell) was an artist. In 1975, his father committed suicide, jumping out of a window in his 44th floor office in the Pan Am Building in New York City. It was later made public that, at the time, federal regulators were investigating allegations that United Brands was bribing Honduran government officials with Black's authorization to gain a major reduction in banana export taxes paid by the company; United Brands contended that it was a victim of extortion in Honduras.

Black received an AB in philosophy and history from Dartmouth College in 1973 and a MBA from Harvard University in 1975. He served on the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth College from 2002 to 2011. In 2012, Black gave US$48 million toward a new visual arts center at Dartmouth College.

Career
Black started out as an accountant at Peat Marwick (which later became KPMG) and with the publisher Boardroom Reports. He also interviewed at Lehman Brothers but was told he did not have the brains or personality to succeed on Wall Street. From 1977 to 1990, Black was employed by investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert, where he rose to  managing director and head of the Mergers & Acquisitions Group, and co-head of the Corporate Finance Department. At Drexel, Black was regarded as "junk bond king" Michael Milken's right-hand man.

In 2009, Black contributed $60 million in a settlement with Huntsman Corporation after Apollo was sued for backing out of a merger the previous year. In 2021, Black stepped down as CEO and chairman after Dechert LLP, which had been retained several months earlier by Apollo to investigate Black's dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, published a report finding that Black had paid $158 million to Epstein between 2012 and 2017 for advice on taxes and estate planning. In 2022, Black included Josh Harris in a civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuit, alleging that he led a group within Apollo attempting to tarnish his reputation after his ties to Epstein were reported. Federal judge Paul Engelmayer dismissed the suit for lack of evidence, with an appeals court upholding the decision in 2023.

Personal life
Black is married to Debra Ressler, a 1976 Barnard College graduate and Broadway producer and sister of Ares Management co-founder Antony Ressler. They have four children. One of their children, Ben, runs an investment fund. Debra Black is a melanoma survivor. In 2007, the couple donated $25 million to form the new Melanoma Research Alliance. Leon and Debra both serve on the board of the organization.

In 2018, he was elected chairman of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. His term commenced on July 1, 2018. His term as chairman ended on July 1, 2021, and he did not seek re-election, in the wake of protests from  dozens of artists and activists over his financial ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein relationship
Black stated initially that he maintained a "limited relationship" with Jeffrey Epstein.

In 1997, he made Epstein one of the original trustees of what is today the Debra and Leon Black Foundation. In his 2020 letter to Apollo investors, Black said that Epstein provided him with "estate planning, tax and philanthropic advice" to his "family partnership and other related family entities". The New York Times reported that Black had paid Epstein at least $50 million for such services from 2012 to 2017. Black did not at the time confirm the $50 million sum reported by The New York Times, but did say that he paid Epstein "millions of dollars annually for his work". In October 2020, Black requested that the Apollo board conduct an independent review of his relationship with Epstein, and it retained the law firm Dechert LLP to do so. Black has said that he "deeply regrets" his relationship with Epstein.

The review conducted by Dechert LLP was released on January 25, 2021. It showed that Black had paid Epstein around $158 million from 2012 through 2017 for financial services. Using Epstein's tax avoidance strategies, Black claims he saved at least $1.3 billion. Black pledged his intention to donate $200 million to women’s initiatives.
In 2023, Black paid $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to be released from claims related to Epstein. In July 2023, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee made public that it is investigating Black’s tax strategies and dealings with Epstein.

On July 25, 2023, a lawsuit was filed against Black, alleging that he raped a 16-year-old girl with autism and Down syndrome in Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in 2002.

Sexual misconduct accusations
In March 2021, Guzel Ganieva claimed in a series of tweets that "I was sexually harassed and abused by [Black] for years [and ultimately] forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement under duress". Black stated that he had engaged in what he called a "consensual affair" with her.  The matter has resulted in lawsuits and countersuits. Ganieva also claimed that Black also introduced her to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and tried to force her to have sex with them.

The law firm that represented Ganieva also represented another accuser, Cheri Pierson, who accused Black of raping her in 2002 in Jeffrey Epstein's mansion in New York City. Black denied these claims.

In July 2023, Black had another lawsuit filed against him, by a woman diagnosed with Down syndrome and autism only identified in the complaint as "Jane Doe". Black's attorney called the accusations "frivolous and sanctionable".

Book publisher
In 2012, Black acquired Phaidon Press, a fine art books publishing house.

Art collection

Two months after the May 2012 anonymous purchase of one of four versions of Edvard Munch's The Scream, The Wall Street Journal reported that Black had been the one who had paid $119.9 million for the pastel, the highest price ever paid for a work of art at auction as of that time. In September 2012, the Museum of Modern Art announced the painting would go on view for a six-month period starting in October.

In June 2013, it was revealed that Black had purchased Head of a Young Apostle, an  work by Raphael for £29 million after a four-party bidding war.

On December 22, 2015, it was reported that Black purchased at auction a complete set of the Daniel Bomberg Babylonian Talmud for $9.3 million. According to a press release from the Sotheby's auction house, the sale was "a new world auction record for any piece of Judaica."

In June 2016, a lawsuit over the Picasso sculpture Bust of a Woman (Marie-Thérèse) between the advisory firm Pelham Europe and art gallery owner Larry Gagosian was settled. Pelham Europe, an agent for a member of Qatar's royal family, and Gagosian, who had resold the bust to Black, both claimed ownership. The case was settled by Maya Widmaier-Picasso, the owner of the sculpture. The settlement included Black getting the sculpture and Widmaier Picasso paying Pelham an undisclosed amount.
