Felix Wolfes (September 2, 1892 in Hannover – March 28, 1971 in Boston) was an American educator, conductor and composer.

Biography
Felix was born to Jewish parents in Hannover, Germany. After graduating from high school, he attended the Leipzig Conservatory, where he studied music theory with Max Reger and piano with Robert Teichmüller. He also studied with Richard Strauss and later in Strasbourg with Hans Pfitzner. His conducting debut was in Breslau in 1923. He then worked as musical director and opera conductor in Essen (1924–31) and Dortmund (until 1933).

In Dortmund he had to leave his position in the spring of 1933 due to the Nazi rise to power. He emigrated first to France and later to the US. He conducted the Monte Carlo opera in 1936 and 1937. While in France, he was also the teacher of composer Lukas Foss, who studied orchestration with him.

In 1938 he moved to New York city, where he worked as an assistant conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, where he stayed until 1947. In 1948 he followed a call to the New England Conservatory in Boston, where he taught for two decades. He died in Boston, aged 78.

Musical compositions and editing
Wolfes composed at least 140 songs that are published.  Most were composed after he moved to Boston, but he continued to set German poetry.  There are a few songs in English, however.  As a disciple of Strauss and Pfitzner, Wolfes composed vocal works using similar complex rhythmic and harmonic materials.

He was also highly skilled in editing and preparing the vocal scores for operas from the full orchestral score.  Some of his important work in this area was for the Strauss opera Arabella and the Pfitzner opera Palestrina.  He also prepared vocal scores for Strauss's opera Die schweigsame Frau and Pfitzner's operas Das Herz and Die Rose vom Liebesgarten.

Shudi Atiya ash-Shafi () was an Egyptian communist theoretician and activist. Ash-Shafi studied in Britain, and returned to Egypt in 1942 with a Master of Arts degree from Exeter College. After his return to Egypt he was employed at the Ministry of Education as an English-language supervisor. He joined the communist Iskra group, of which he became a prominent member. He went on to become director of the House of Scientific Research (a Marxist study centre set up by Iskra) for a period. In 1947 he became editor of the newspaper of the group, al-Jamahir. In the same year Iskra merged into the Democratic Movement for National Liberation (HADITU).

As HADITU passed through inner-party conflicts, ash-Shafi resigned from the movement towards the end of 1947. After leaving HADITU, ash-Shafi became an active advocate for greater unity in the Egyptian communist movement.

Ash-Shafi was arrested in a crackdown on leftist intellectuals, which had begun in January 1959. In 1960 he was beaten to death in the Abu Zabal prison camp.

Bibliography
In 1957 a major work by authored by ash-Shafi was published, Tatawarah al-harakah al-wataniyah al-misriyah, 1882-1956 ('Development of the Egyptian Nationalist Movement, 1882-1956'). It was republished in 1983.

The Museo de las Casas Reales (English: Museum of the Royal Houses) is one of the important cultural monuments built during the colonial era in Hispaniola, now the Dominican Republic. It is located in the Colonial district of Santo Domingo.

It was the Palace of the Real Audiencia of Santo Domingo, called then Edificio de las Casas Reales, and it is the first (oldest) headquarters of Spanish power in the New World.

The building dates back to the sixteenth century, and was built to house the administrative offices of the Spanish colonies in the Americas, at the time any trespassers would be sentenced to death.

It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site called Colonial City of Santo Domingo.

History

The palace was built by orders of the Spanish Crown, represented by King Ferdinand II of Aragon, on October 5 of 1511 to house the main government offices of the colony in two interconnected buildings (hence the plural Casas Reales). In the first (South) section was the Royal Audiencia, the first court of the New World, as well as the office of the Comptroller General. The second (North) section was used by the successive Viceroys, Governors and Captains-General.

The original architectural structure has undergone a number of changes through the country's history. In 1807, during the period of French sovereignty over the Eastern part of Hispaniola, French general Louis Ferrand gave the facade a classical architectural style. During the last year of government of President Carlos Felipe Morales, some changes were made to use the building as the Governmental Palace. The Presidency later moved to a mansion on the site of today's Palacio Nacional. During the government of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo other modifications were made in order to house government offices.  Trujillo's office, and an extensive collection of arms and armor that he purchased, remain on display.

The building was later restored to its original 16th-century appearance and was established on October 18, 1973, during the administration of President Joaquín Balaguer, as a museum to highlight the history, life and customs of the inhabitants of the Spanish colony. However, it was not officially opened until May 31, 1976. Attending the opening ceremony was King Juan Carlos I of Spain. A self-guided tour giving a sequential history of the island includes a portable audio speaker that is available in various languages.  It is currently one of the most visited sites in Santo Domingo.

The United Hebrew Congregation (or Congregation Achdut Yisroel) at 13788 Conway Road in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, is a Reform Jewish synagogue.  It was the first Jewish Congregation established west of the Mississippi River.

History

19th century
The United Hebrew Congregation formed on Erev Rosh Hashannah 1837 (the evening of September 29, 1837) in St. Louis when ten members rented a room for services. The location was either above a store called "Max’s Grocery and Restaurant" at Second and Spruce Streets, or an "R.A. Mack's" grocery store at 54 N. Front Street. The exact year this minyan was organized has not been definitely determined.

Abraham Weigel, who was to become United Hebrew Congregation's first president, and Nathan Abeles, the first secretary, rented a room over a grocery and held the first minyan in St. Louis.  Louis Bomeisler, a German from Philadelphia, probably conducted the first service in St. Louis for Rosh Hashanah on September 29.  He proceeded to order a Torah, prayer books, and Taleisim for the new group.

Twelve men met four years later at the Oracle Coffee House at 2nd and Locust to write the constitution for Achdut Yisrael, the United Hebrew Congregation.  In 1841, a constitution was adopted based on the laws of Shulhan Aruch, which governs Orthodox synagogues, and United Hebrew was formally founded, the first Jewish congregation west of the Mississippi.

United Hebrew established its first home in 1848 in the former North Baptist Church on Fifth Street near Green Street (now Broadway) between Washington and Lucas.

United Hebrew Congregation nearly merged with B'nai El in 1852, but the merger was called off when B'nai El received an unanticipated gift from the estate of Judah Touro, a Jewish philanthropist from New Orleans. The bequest totaled $3,000 (). In 1855, B'nai El used the funds to build a synagogue at Sixth and Cerre, which may have been the first synagogue building constructed west of the Mississippi River.

In 1854, United Hebrew Congregation hired the first documented rabbi to serve in St. Louis, Rabbi Bernard Illowy. His term of service lasted about one year, and in 1856, he left for Syracuse.

On June 11, 1853, United Hebrew Congregation formed plans for the construction of a new building. B'nai El's new building probably encouraged the construction, but perhaps more important was the expiration of United Hebrew Congregation's lease. On August 10, 1855, United Hebrew Congregation bought a  lot near the corner of Sixth and St. Charles for $6,240 (). At the time, United Hebrew Congregation not only had a cantor but it also employed a shohet to slaughter animals in accordance with kashrut so that local Jewish families would have kosher meat available to eat. In 1857, the congregation moved to a new building next to the Benton Public School on Sixth Street between Locust and St. Charles. The building was built by Joseph Hodgeman, who had recently built a new hospital wing. It had a circular-shaped skylight in its center with a star of David in its designs. The building was ultimately built for $22,000 (. It was consecrated on June 17, 1859, with Rabbi Morris J. Raphall of New York officiating. At the time, there were approximately 600 to 700 Jewish people living in St. Louis, of which about 150 to 200 were members of United Hebrew Congregation.

In 1880, United Hebrew Congregation's moved the dead bodies buried at its original burial ground at Jefferson Avenue and Gratiot Street to a new cemetery at Mount Olive near Clayton. The old burial ground had been established in 1837 and was a small lot of approximately , with relatively shallow graves that often contained multiple dead bodies.

20th century
United Hebrew moved steadily westward, next to Twenty-first and Olive Streets in 1879, and then in 1903 into a remodeled Mount Cabanne Church at the southwest corner of Kingshighway and Von Versen (after 1917, Enright).

In 1927, the United Hebrew Congregation dedicated a new home at 225 S. Skinker. Designed by the architectural firm of Maritz and Young with consulting architect Gabriel Ferrand, the notable, Byzantine revival structure was said to be one of the three largest synagogues in the nation. The United Hebrew Congregation worshiped there for 62 years until 1989. An educational building, also designed by Maritz and Young, was added in the early 1950s.  The Missouri Historical Society purchased the historic Skinker building in early 1989.  It is now the Society's library and research center.

As its membership continued to move to the suburbs, United Hebrew Congregation purchased land at Conway and Woods Mill Roads in the West St. Louis County suburbs of Town and Country and Chesterfield, Missouri.  The Religious and Hebrew schools began operating there in 1977.  The administration and sanctuary moved to the Conway site after the construction (1986–1989) of a notable Pietro Belluschi building.

21st century
The United Hebrew Congregation is a member of the Union for Reform Judaism.  It is the furthest west large reform congregation in Greater St. Louis.  The congregation contains a religious school, Hebrew school, early childhood center, and summer camp.  Programs include youth (including a North American Federation of Temple Youth group called UHTYG, adult education, and bible study.  The congregation is a member of the Synaplex initiative.

The senior rabbi is Brigitte Rosenberg.  Ronald Eichaker serves as cantor.  Rick Recht is the artist in residence.  The rabbi emeritus is Howard Kaplansky. The cantor emeritus is Murray Hochberg.

Torah
In 2006, United Hebrew Congregation commissioned a Torah to be written by a woman soferet.  On September 9, 2007, the Torah was dedicated, and Jen Taylor Friedman became the first woman known to have written a complete Torah scroll.

Rabbinic leaders
United Hebrew Congregation's rabbinic leaders have been as follows.

The Wooldridge Monuments are a series of historical monuments located in Maplewood Cemetery of Mayfield, Kentucky.  They were built for Colonel Henry G. Wooldridge, to commemorate family members and other loved ones of his life, from 1892 until Wooldridge's death on May 30, 1899.  Wooldridge is the only one buried at the site.  The lot has been called "The Strange Procession Which Never Moves".

History
In 1892, Wooldridge lost the last of his sisters, leaving him with no immediate family; he was a lifelong bachelor.  This prompted him to buy a lot at Maplewood Cemetery.

The monuments were gaining attention even in Wooldridge's lifetime, as represented in the November 7, 1897 issue of Republic.  Stories told of the monuments include the Minnie statue actually representing a childhood sweetheart whose early death due to horse riding prompted Wooldridge's bachelorhood (family records say it was of a niece) and that Wooldridge was such a miser that money was buried with him in his tomb.

Description

The total area of the monuments are .  All eighteen monuments face east, like most of the gravestones in Maplewood Cemetery.  The most prominent is a life-size likeness of Wooldridge himself, a  marble statue in the center of the site, made in Italy.  Fourteen other monuments surrounding Wooldridge are made of limestone, and have more rigid poses.  The largest of these represent Wooldridge on his horse, named "Fop".  The other limestone statues are  tall on  bases, and represent family members.  Behind these are replicas of a fox, a deer, and two hounds chasing them; the dogs are unidentified on the statue but represent Wooldridge's dogs "Towhead" and "Bob".  The statue makers, who hailed from Mayfield and Paducah, Kentucky, never before or after had a more "complex" or "ambitious" project.

The female statues represent Wooldridge's mother Keziah, his sisters Minerva, Narcissa, and Susan, and his nieces Maud and Minnie.  The male statues that are not of Wooldridge are of his brothers Alfred, John, Josiah, and W.H.  There is no statue depicting Wooldridge's father.

The fence around the lot was placed there by the Mayfield Masonic lodge, replacing the old iron fence.  Wooldridge was a Freemason.

Modern times

In September 1984 the monuments were featured on the TV show Ripley's Believe It or Not.

To gain access to the monuments, one must go through another item on the National Register to get there, the Confederate Memorial Gates in Mayfield.

On January 27, 2009, the monuments were damaged when a large tree in the cemetery fell as a result of an ice storm, breaking several of the heads.  Only the statues of Wooldridge's sisters and a dog remained standing.  City and County officials considered what to do to repair the damage to the monuments, one of the few tourist attractions for the city.

Over the summer of 2010 all the monuments were restored on site by Monument Conservation Collaborative, a historic monument restoration firm based in Connecticut.

On October 21, 2010, there was an official rededication of the monument as over a year's worth of repairs have been completed and all the statues are back in place.

Joseph Barrell (December 15, 1869 – May 4, 1919) was an American geologist who developed many ideas on the origins of the Earth, isostasy and ideas on the origins of sedimentary rocks. He suggested that they were produced by the action of rivers, winds, and ice (continental), as well as by marine sedimentation. He also independently arrived at the theory of stoping as a mechanism for igneous intrusion. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1915.

Life and career
The Barrell family originated from a family that migrated from Suffolk in Britain to Boston in 1637. Joseph was born at New Providence on December 15, 1869. His father Henry Ferdinand and his mother Elizabeth née Wisner, of Swiss descent, had owned a farm in Warwick, Orange County, New York before moving to a new farm in New Jersey. Henry Ferdinand was a trustee at the local public library and for the public school and Joseph, the fifth of nine children, grew up in a home surrounded by books. He took a great deal of interest in natural history and astronomy. Joseph went to the local public school until the age of sixteen. he then earned some money teaching at school and later joined Stevens Preparatory School at Hoboken before moving to Lehigh University in 1888. He graduated there and continued studies leading to an MS in 1897. He joined work in the University as an instructor in mining and metallurgy. Barrell taught Geology at Lehigh for three years. He spent a summer in Europe with Herbert E. Gregory and Charles Hyde Warren, travelling on foot, bicycle and third-class trains so as to be able to observe the land and geology with little interest in cities. He married Lena Hopper Bailey in 1902, and in 1903 he was invited by Yale University to develop a course in structural geology. Most of Barrell's key contributions to geology were possible during his time at Yale.

Contributions to geology
Some of Barrell's early work was in applied geology, dealing with the problems of measuring and estimating coal yields in the Lehigh Valley Coal Company (1894). He also worked with the United States Geological Survey to study the Elkhorn Mining
District of Montana (1899). Some of the work done here became part of his doctoral dissertation. In 1900 he again worked with the USGS and produced a study "Geology of the Marysville Mining District, Montana: a Study of Igneous Intrusions and Contact Metamorphism." The study of rock metamorphism became a major interest and in 1914 he wrote about the "Relations of Subjacent Igneous Invasions to Regional Metamorphism." Another major advance he made was in the production of marine sediments and his ideas on how to determine ancient shore lines.
Another area that he took an interest in was in the origin of the earth. He examined the theories of Chamberlin–Moulton planetesimal hypothesis and questioned the idea that planetesimals grew by very gradual accretion of dust. Barrell suggested that most of the finer sediment on the surface of the earth or under the ocean had been produced by weathering. Barrell's approach to scientific questions was to collect all evidence, generate multiple hypotheses and argue through all hypotheses to look for consistency or the lack of it in explaining other observations. An example of his original thinking was in his examination of the evolution of air-breathing in fishes in the light of evidence for climatic and environmental changes.

Patrick Maher ( – 7 June 1921) was a member of the Irish Republican Army executed in Mountjoy Prison. He was 32 years old at the time of his death.

Background
A native of County Limerick, Maher was hanged along with Edmond Foley for his alleged involvement in the rescue of Seán Hogan at Knocklong Railway Station on 13 May 1919 in which two Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) officers were killed.

Trial and Execution
Unlike Foley, Maher had no direct involvement in the rescue. He merely worked at the station grading poultry and eggs and he was at a crossroads three miles away at the time of the ambush. Maher strongly protested his innocence. Two civilian juries failed to reach a verdict. He was finally convicted of involvement by a military court-martial and sentenced to death.

In a final message to other members of the IRA, Foley and Maher wrote:

Reinterment
Maher is one of a group of men hanged and buried in Mountjoy in the period 1920–21, commonly referred to as The Forgotten Ten. In 2001 Maher and the other nine, including Kevin Barry, were exhumed and given a full State funeral. He is the only one of the Ten not to be buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin. In accordance with his wishes and those of his family, he is buried at Ladywell Graveyard in Ballylanders, County Limerick.

Everglades Airpark  is a public-use airport located  southwest of the central business district of the city of Everglades City in Collier County, Florida, United States. The airport is publicly owned.

The airport was constructed in the 1940s by the Collier family and was used by the Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force, and private pilots.  The runway was initially a 1,000 foot paved strip with 500 feet of grass on either end. President Harry Truman dedicated the Everglades National Park at the airport in December 1947.

On September 9, 1960, Hurricane Donna destroyed the airport's hanger, office, fuel station, and other buildings. In 1968, Collier County purchased Everglades Airpark from the Collier family for $125,000. In 1993, the  Collier County Airport Authority was created oto manage the development and operations to three local, publicly owned airports—Everglades Airpark, Immokalee Regional Airport, and Marco Island Executive Airport.

Cuties Island (also known as Vincent Island) is a small, formerly inhabited island off the coast of Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Background and history
In 1945, a lawyer and sailor named Paul Hurlburt Smart (1915–1979) from Darien, Connecticut, purchased the island. He began building a cottage, which was completed in 1950. Fishermen and campers would use the island regardless of not having Smart's permission. Smart spent several months away from the house, and it burned down in 1959. The island was sold to Paul and Diane Daddona in 1965.

The stone base of the house and several stone fireplaces that were inside the house still remain on the island and can be accessed by a clear-watered beach on its north shore. Its south shore is very rocky and slippery, it is very easy to slip and not be able to get up. The island is located between Cove Island and Cummings Park, both of which are in Stamford.

The Blood Confession is a 2006 historical fiction novel written by Alisa M. Libby. The novel is a revisionist telling of the legend of Countess Elizabeth Báthory, with elements of the fairy tale Snow White.

Plot

The book follows the character of Countess Erzebet, a young noblewoman held prisoner while being charged with murder. As the book unfolds, Erzebet tells her life's story, from her ill-omened birth to the crimes she is charged with.

Reception
The Blood Confession received a positive review from Strange Horizons, stating that while "first half of the book does wander... it is in its modern connotations that Libby's book really soars and disturbs". Kirkus Reviews praised "Libby’s combination of history, fairy tales and the Bible" but stated that it was "a conceptually interesting but sluggishly paced gothic horror". The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books wrote that the book was "not for the faint of heart" and that "this first person narrative doesn’t leave out any of the gory details." The School Library Journal praised the book's characterizations while stating that the book's "depiction of Erzebet's descent into madness is overly lengthy".

The steam locomotives of Südbahn Class 23 (old) were goods train engines worked by the Austrian Southern Railway (österreichische Südbahn).

History
The precursors to the Austrian Southern Railway had a very disparate fleet of goods locomotives.
The Southern Railway therefore had a six-coupled freight locomotive developed which was based the French Bourbonnais prototype.
This series was initially given the designation 23, but was reclassified to 29 in 1864. The Lokomotivfabrik der StEG engine works delivered 20 units in 1860, which proved themselves so well that a total of 205 were built up to 1872 by this factory along with the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik and Maschinenfabrik Esslingen.

Modifications
In the course of time there were naturally several modifications: in 1861 to the driver's cab, in the 1880s a vacuum brake with sound absorbers, new boilers, etc...

Dispersal
After nationalisation in 1924 the Federal Railway of Austria (BBÖ) took over 47 units, that were grouped into BBÖ Class 49. After the Second World War a few engines, classified by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as DRB 53.7111–7116, remained in Austria. Of these, the ÖBB only took over number 153.7114 but withdrew it in 1953.

Yugoslavia
Yugoslavia designated the locomotives that it received as JŽ 124.

Hungary
In Hungary they became MÁV 332.

Italy
In Italy they became FS 193.
Locomotives in FS Class 193

Preservation
Amazingly, five of them are preserved.

During the 1920s the BBÖ sold several engines to the Graz-Köflacher Bahn (GKB). Three of them, built in 1860, were preserved alongside two other Class 23 :

 One of them, number GKB 671, is still working today, albeit with some small modifications such as compressed-air brakes thanks to the work of the Steirischen Eisenbahnfreunde (Styrian Railway Society). Built in 1860, the Austrian-made Südbahn Class 23 (old) locomotive on the Graz-Köflach railway (GKB), is the longest serving steam engine in the world. It is frequently on duty and is used to haul steam specials.
GKB 674 ex Südbahn 674, has been preserved by the Budapest transport museum and restored with its early roofless drivers cab.
GKB 680 now belongs to the German Museum of Technology in Berlin.
 Südbahn 718, used by Yugoslav railways, resides in the Slovenian Railway Museum. Built in 1861, was restored with Südbahn livery and an open-top cab.
 Südbahn 852, used by ÖBB until 1958, is awaiting restoration, tenderless, at heizhaus Strasshof.

Captain John Guy Dollman BA, FLS (4 September 1886 – 21 March 1942), known as Guy Dollman, was a British zoologist and taxonomist. Dollman's tree mouse and Dollman's vlei rat are named after him.

Life and work

Elder son of the artist John Charles Dollman, Guy Dollman was born on 4 September 1886 and attended St Paul's School, winning a scholarship to study at St John's College, Cambridge. In February 1907, while still a student, he was employed by the Department of Zoology at the British Museum (Natural History), where he spent most of his working life as Assistant Keeper of Mammals.

In 1912, on an expedition to Vietnam, he discovered and named the Tonkin snub-nosed langur. He joined the British Army in 1915, and obtained a commission in the 19th London Regiment. He did not see active service abroad during World War I as he was injured in a bomb accident.
He returned to the museum in 1919. He was a member of the panel of advisers to the British delegation to the 1933 International Conference for the Preservation of the Flora and Fauna of Africa, said to have been "the high point of institutionalised global nature protection before the Second World War", and, according to his obituary in The Times, Dollman "had a decisive voice on the animal species to be scheduled for total or partial protection".
He travelled and wrote extensively with Walter Rothschild; their publications included New mammals from Dutch New Guinea (1932) and a study of tree kangaroos The Genus Dendrolagus (1936). He was also an accomplished artist, exhibiting pictures at the Royal Academy, and illustrated many of his own scientific writings.

Dollman died on 21 March 1942, aged 65.

Gerald Joseph Constable Maxwell  (8 September 1895 – 18 December 1959) was a British First World War flying ace credited with twenty-six aerial victories.

Background
Maxwell was born in Beauly near Inverness, Scotland, to the Honourable Bernard Constable-Maxwell (son of William Constable-Maxwell, 10th Lord Herries of Terregles) and the Honourable Alice Fraser (daughter of Simon Fraser, 13th Lord Lovat), both of whom were scions of notable Scottish recusant families. He was educated at Downside School.

World War I service
Maxwell was commissioned in the Lovat Scouts on 4 August 1914 and fought at Gallipoli.  He then served in Egypt before returning to the UK, where he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in September 1916. Maxwell completed final pilot training at Central Flying School, Upavon and joined No. 56 Squadron in London Colney in March 1917.  He was attached to 'A' Flight, commanded by Captain Albert Ball, flying SE5 aircraft.  In April 1917, Maxwell's squadron was sent to France and he achieved a victory on his first patrol. Four days later he was hit by anti-aircraft fire and crashed unhurt.

On 26 July 1917, Maxwell was appointed a flight commander, by which time he had been credited with eight victories.  He was awarded the Military Cross on 18 October and was posted back to the UK. After instructing at the School of Aerial Fighting at Turnberry, he returned to No. 56 Squadron, where in six weeks he claimed six more victories.

His confirmed 26 victories consisted of 12 enemy aircraft destroyed (including two shared wins), and 14 "out of control" victories, six of which were shared. In scoring the shared victories, he teamed with such other aces as Cecil Lewis, Edric Broadberry, Charles Jeffs, and Cyril Crowe.

Maxwell was granted a permanent commission as a captain in the Royal Air Force on 1 August 1919, relinquishing his commission in the 1st Lovat's Scouts, Territorial Force, the same day. On 29 August 1919 he was appointed a temporary Staff Officer, 3rd Class (Air), to serve at the Air Ministry. He was placed on the half-pay list between 1 February and 1 April 1920, and on 14 February 1921 resigned his permanent commission, and was granted the rank of major.

He later became a director of Maxwell-Chrysler Motors.

World War II service
He was called up in the next war, becoming station commander at RAF Ford from 1941 to 1945. Maxwell was a member of the Royal Company of Archers, a Knight of Malta and Privy Chamberlain of the Pope. He was also a deputy lieutenant for Hampshire.

Family and personal life
Maxwell married Carolyn Carden in 1920 and they had two sons and four daughters.
Flight Lieutenant William Michael Constable Maxwell (17 September 1926 – 29 March 1950); killed during flying duty, unmarried.
Ann Mary Teresa Constable Maxwell (30 August 1927 – 8 April 2013)); married The Honourable Miles Fitzalan-Howard (1915–2002) who became the 17th Duke of Norfolk in 1975, had five children, including the 18th Duke of Norfolk and actress Marsha Fitzalan.
Veronica Diana Margaret Constable Maxwell (b. 15 December 1930); married with three children.

Honours and awards
Military Cross
Captain Gerald Joseph Constable Maxwell, Yeomanry and R.F.C.
"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on many occasions. He has taken part in forty-three offensive patrols, in fourteen of which he acted as leader. He has destroyed at least three enemy aircraft, and driven down nine others completely out of control. He has consistently shown great skill in aerial combats, and his fearlessness and fine offensive spirit have been a splendid example to others."

Distinguished Flying Cross
Captain Gerald Joseph Constable Maxwell, M.C.
"This officer has at all times shown exceptional skill and gallantry and on numerous occasions has fought against greatly superior numbers. During the last six weeks he had brought down five enemy aeroplanes. Recently, he approached unobserved to within ten yards of three Fokker triplanes, one of which he shot down. He was chased for about nine miles by the remaining two until he met a formation of six Camels, these he led to attack some enemy aircraft, although he had only twenty-five minutes' petrol left."

Allan Rosenfield (April 28, 1933 – October 12, 2008) was an advocate for women's health during the worldwide AIDS pandemic as dean of the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.

Early life
Rosenfield was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on April 28, 1933. He received a B.A. in biochemistry from Harvard College in 1955. In 1959, he graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons with his M.D. degree.

Career
After receiving his medical degree, he worked in Thailand with the Population Council in the 1960s, in a country with a severe lack of physicians and a 3.3% annual population growth rate, providing advice to the ministry of public health on reproductive, maternal and child health issues. In the six years he spent in Thailand, he started a family and learned the Thai language. At the time, IUDs and birth control pills were only available by prescription from a doctor. This meant that the most effective types of birth control were not available to 99% of the Thailand population. The national family planning program Rosenfield helped develop trained auxiliary midwives to prescribe birth control. Thailand's annual population growth rate dropped to 0.8% by the year 2000. His work with the Population Council also took him to other countries in Asia and Africa, where he first realized the difficulties of lowering birthrates in poor countries. He was a leader in promoting the view that necessary steps for controlling population growth and achieving economic development were the provision of reproductive health programs and the raising of the status of women.

Columbia University hired him in 1975 as a professor of public health and obstetrics and gynecology, and as director of the university's new Center for Population and Family Health. In this role, he focused the Center both on efforts in establishing community-based programs in the Upper Manhattan surrounding the school and in programs with a global reach. Until he was appointed dean of the Mailman School of Public Health in 1986, Rosenfield worked on a hands-on basis on the programs he had initiated, including the clinics for adolescent men and women, and clinics in local intermediate and high schools.

In 1985, Rosenfield and Deborah Maine had the article Maternal Mortality — A Neglected Tragedy: Where is the M in MCH? published in The Lancet, drawing attention to deaths of women in the third-world in pregnancy and childbirth. Efforts were made to improve access to health care for pregnant women in response to the article by international health groups. Rosenfield worked with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to create more than 85 "safe motherhood" programs worldwide.

In 2000, at the International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa, Rosenfield followed up on his calls for improved access to maternal care, leading to the creation of the MTCT-Plus Initiative to help prevent mother-to-child transmission of AIDS. By the time of his death, the initiative had brought comprehensive health care to hundreds of thousands of women and infants throughout the world.

Rosenfield was national chairman of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1985 and 1986. In 2006, he received the "Maggie" Award, highest honor of the Planned Parenthood Federation, in tribute to their founder, Margaret_Sanger.  He also served as chairman of the Program Board of the American Foundation for AIDS Research.

Rosenfield was an honorary member of the National Board of Public Health Examiners, an entity that provides the first and only core certification for public health professionals and graduates of CEPH-accredited institutions.

The main building of the Mailman School of Public Health on West 168th Street was named for Rosenfield in 2006, with Columbia's president, Lee C. Bollinger, noting that "over the last three decades at Columbia, Allan has not only inspired and trained generations of public health leaders, he has helped define what a school of public health should be."

Personal life
Rosenfield had been diagnosed with both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and myasthenia gravis in 2005, two separate diseases that affect motor nerve functions. After he received these diagnosis, tributes came from around the world, including a song dedication by Bono at a U2 concert.

Rosenfield died of ALS at age 75 on October 12, 2008 at his home in Hartsdale, New York, and is survived by his daughter, his son, and his wife Clare.

The Radio Éireann Players (RÉP) were a repertory company for radio in Ireland, formed in 1947, which performed in regular drama productions for Irish broadcaster, Radio Éireann. After the depredations of the war-time years and a devastating fire in the Abbey Theatre in 1951, the Radio Éireann Players' powerful weekly performances inspired interest in drama throughout the country. Their effect has been compared to an effort at national re-invention, in the same way that the national theatre fifty years earlier had been an attempt to redefine Irish identity.

History
Under Director Dr. T. J. Kiernan (husband of Delia Murphy, appointed 1935), Radio Éireann had already started broadcasting plays from the Abbey and Peacock theatres in Dublin and the Taibhdhearc in Galway. Roibeard Ó Faracháin, a published poet, who set up the RÉP, became the first Radio Éireann Talks Officer in 1939 (his title changed to General Features Officer in 1945). In 1939 the station broadcast over 80 plays. During the Christmas holidays of 1942, Ó Faracháin drew up his plans to ensure the radio drama, as well as other radio activities, should be served by professionals. He also fostered Irish writers such as Kate O'Brien, Edna O'Brien, James Plunkett and Francis MacManus, among many others.

The formation of a full-time theatre company for a radio station was something new — no English-speaking country possessed one. Many questions were asked, including in the Dáil and Department of Finance, before the station won approval to establish the company. Micheál Ó hAodha became the company's first producer and Roibeárd Ó Faracháin with Ria Mooney of the Abbey recruited. All its members were from Ireland, many being native Irish speakers.

Founding actors
The founding actors (plus three who joined the following year) were:  Tom Studley, George Greene, Éamonn Kelly, Joe Lynch, Arthur O'Sullivan, Pegg Monahan, Laurence O'Dea, Frank O'Dwyer, Christine Spencer, Ginette Waddell, Marie Mulvey, Gerard Healey, Leo Leyden, Charles McCarthy, Deirdre O'Meara, Una Collins, Seamus Forde, Charles Davis, Ronald Ibbs, Florence Lynch, Mairín Ní Shuilleabháin, Joseph O'Dea, Christopher Casson, John Stephenson and Aiden Grennell. These "temporary, unestablished Civil Servants" started work at the studios on 18 August 1947.

Dramatists
Plays were written by writers such as Michael Farrell, Padraic Fallon, Benedict Kiely, Frank O'Connor and Seán Ó Faoláin.  This was a convenient income for these writers during the hard economic times of the 1940s and 1950s and also provided them a large audience. Another contributor was Brendan Behan, who made his debut with two plays for radio. Between plays, the players acted in radio variety programmes and read pieces on the radio as necessary.

Prix Italia
In 1961, the players performed The Weaver's Grave. Adapted and produced by Mícheál Ó hAodha, it was written by Galway author Seamus O'Kelly, and won the coveted Prix Italia for Radio Drama. The cast was: Frank Dwyer (story-teller), Eamon Kelly (nailmaker), Thomas Studley (stone-breaker), Pegg Monahan (weaver's widow), Brendan Cauldwell (grave digger), Henry Comerford (grave digger), Arthur O'Sullivan (cooper), Maura O'Sullivan (weaver's daughter). The players also won this award in 1965 with Dan Treston's "Piano in the River".

Jacob's Award
The players attracted international attention in 1982 when they broadcast an uninterrupted, unabridged, 30-hour dramatised performance of James Joyce's epic novel Ulysses, to commemorate the centenary of the author's birth. The record-breaking marathon broadcast was carried by live relay internationally and won a Jacob's Broadcasting Award, which were instituted in December 1962 as the First Irish Television Awards, in recognition of its achievement.

MS Nieuw Amsterdam is a  sailing for Holland America Line. The 81st ship to enter Holland America's fleet, she is the fourth ship to bear the name Nieuw Amsterdam in the line's history.

Service history
Nieuw Amsterdam was laid down on 15 July 2008, launched on 30 October 2009 and completed on 30 June 2010.

The ship was christened by Princess Maxima of the Netherlands in Venice, Italy on 4 July 2010 before embarking on its maiden voyage from Venice on 5 July 2010.

On 10 October 2017, Nieuw Amsterdam was driven ashore at Santa Cruz Huatulco, Mexico. Strong winds blew her from her mooring, snapping her lines. She was freed and returned to her berth, but required an extra night of examination for hull damage. She was cleared to sail safely the next day.

On 4 May 2019, Nieuw Amsterdam was struck by fleet-mate  while docking stern-to-stern in Vancouver, British Columbia. No injuries were reported, and disembarkation on both ships proceeded as usual.

On 15 May 2020, Nieuw Amsterdam aided a sailing vessel in distress in waters off of Cape Town, South Africa. The vessel had lost its mast and was in need of fuel, and Nieuw Amsterdam was directed to its aid by the Cape Town Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre. Following a successful rendezvous, she continued on to Jakarta, Indonesia on a crew repatriation effort due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mechanics
Nieuw Amsterdam has dynamic positioning abilities, and is powered by six diesel generators and propelled by Azipod propulsion technology .

Les murailles de Samaris is a graphic novel by François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters, the first volume of their ongoing Les Cités Obscures series. It was first published in serialized form in 1982 in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine À Suivre (#53-56), and as a complete volume first in 1983 by Casterman. In English, it was published as The Great Walls of Samaris (Stories of the fantastic) as a serial in Heavy Metal from November 1984 to March 1985, then in 1987 as a complete volume by NBM Publishing.

In 1988, Schuiten and Peeters took the opportunity of the second French edition to revise their story, adding content tying into subsequent Les Cités Obscures publications, and clarifying ambiguities of the original. In 2007, a new French printing was further appended with Les Mysterères de Pȃhry, a collection of four previously published story fragments relating to the city of Pâhry. In 2017, IDW Publishing released a new English translation of the revised French edition, re-titled Samaris, and newly translating the appended content as The Mysteries of Pâhry.

Plot
The city of Xhystos is gripped by rumours about the distant city of Samaris, from which all Xhystos diplomatic missions have failed to return. The ruling council of Xhystos offers Franz Bauer wealth and power to investigate Samaris, promising an uneventful mission, though Franz's friends and girlfriend are certain that he, too, would never return.

To reach Samaris, Franz travels for many weeks by train, aviation, and boat. Franz spends weeks more documenting unremarkable observations in Samaris, meeting a woman named Carla every day. The governor of Samaris denies the arrival of any previous envoys. Franz is increasingly disturbed by many oddities: a constant whistling noise with no obvious source, suspicious behaviour from his hotel's desk clerk, inconsistencies in the city's layout, doors and windows that lead nowhere, the absence of children, and the unchanging daily routine of the city's inhabitants. When he finally decides to leave Samaris with Carla, she implores him to depart by himself.

Attempting to break into another hotel room, Franz discovers that all buildings and streets in Samaris are actually mechanized façades automated on rails, and that all the people he met were lifeless dummies. He falls into an engine room and finds a book that seemingly describes the nature of Samaris, comparing the city to a carnivorous plant that sustains itself by capturing visitors and creating "effig[ies]" in their image.

Franz escapes Samaris and returns to Xhystos on foot. In the revised ending, Franz cannot prove his identity, find any of his associates, or even recognize the city, whose very architectural style has changed. He is assaulted by a vision of Carla, and, when he is finally granted an audience with the council by mentioning Samaris, he sees the council members as lifeless cutouts. As the council demands answers about his mission from an age long past, Franz declares Xhystos a fake and sets out to return to Samaris.

Quentin Fiore (February 12, 1920 – April 13, 2019) was a graphic designer, who worked mostly in books.

Early life and education
Quentin Fiore was born on February 12, 1920, in the Bronx, New York to Antonino, a tailor, and Bice (née Bononi) Fiore and was raised in Brooklyn. Fiore was a self-taught designer. His visual education came from a short period of painting and drawing classes in New York in the late 1930s at the Art Students League of New York with George Grosz and, later, Hans Hoffmann. Fiore later studied at the "New Bauhaus" in Chicago.

He was a conscientious objector during World War II along with two of his four brothers. They were assigned to camps around the country fighting forest fires and rescuing lost or injured skiers. After the war in 1946, Fiore married Jeanne DeWolfe Raseman.

Career
In the late 1940s, Fiore turned to graphic design and worked as an art director for Christian Dior and Bonwit Teller, later moving on to more corporate work for Ford Foundation, Bell Laboratories and RCA in the 1950s.

Fiore is noted especially by his designs of the 1960s, where he mixed text and images, different sizes of type and other unconventional devices to create dynamic pages that reflected the tumultuous spirit of the time. In the words of critic Steven Heller, Fiore was "as anarchic as possible while still working within the constraints of bookmaking". Of particular interest are his collaborations with media theorist Marshall McLuhan, such as The Medium is the Massage (1967). Initiated by Fiore, The Medium is the Massage didn't have a manuscript but was an amalgamation of McLuhan's previous works 1962 Gutenberg Galaxy and 1964 Understanding Media in an attempt to popularize McLuhan. The book has been described as the seed from which the idea that "consciousness can be affected by the knowing collision of verbal and visual information" sprouted. The style Fiore implemented in the book is a kinetic interpretation of the philosophy so that the complex ideas could be understandable to a visual audience. The typography within was at all different angles, superimposed on images, and meant to be read in a mirror. The book received mixed reviews with its disregard of typographic rules, while others thought "it promoted illiteracy, encouraged drug use, it corrupted the morals of the American youth." The initial print run by Bantam consisted of 5,000 paperback copies, with a hardbound edition from Random House. The book was wildly successful with subsequent print runs and translations in German, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese and Italian. Worldwide circulation was close to a million and McLuhan's largest-selling publication.

The style was pushed further in DO IT!: Scenarios of the Revolution (1970), the controversial yippie manifesto by social activist Jerry Rubin. Rubin collected most of the material for the book, working with Fiore when he was available and was later described as an important political statement.

In 1968 The Medium is the Massage was made into an LP (Columbia, CS 9501, CL 2701), combining readings of excerpts of the book with musical samples and original musical accompaniments. In 1999, a remastered version was released in CD format by SME Japan.

He died in North Canaan, Connecticut, on April 13, 2019, at the age of 99.

The Pasadena Short Line was a passenger railway line of the Pacific Electric Railway. It ran between Downtown Los Angeles and Downtown Pasadena, California, through Eastside Los Angeles along the foot of the eastern San Rafael Hills to the western San Gabriel Valley. It was in service under the company between 1902 until 1951, though it had operated under different companies back to its beginnings as a horsecar line. The route, designated by the company as line 2, was the key component of the company's Northern Subdivision.

History

The route began as a horsecar line. In 1894, the Pasadena & Los Angeles Electric Railway purchased, re-gauged, electrified, and double-tracked a section of the line for streetcar use. Service began on May 6, 1895. Pacific Electric acquired the route in 1898. The line was again rebuilt to standard gauge with service between Pasadena and Los Angeles beginning in December 1902. Negotiations to cross the existing roads — the Santa Fe Railway, Terminal Railway, and California Cycleway — led Pacific Electric to build a bridge over the right of ways shortly after their service commenced. In 1908, double tracking was completed throughout.

Peak service frequency was likely reached around 1917 or 1918, with 90 trains operating daily in each direction. Two years later, Pacific Electric had cut that number to 59. Starting November 1926, some morning rush hour trains originated at Mariposa and Lake in Altadena. Service reductions continued throughout the late 1920s and 1930s. A complimenting outbound trip to Altadena began in 1938. Minor reroutes near the line's terminals occurred in 1940 and a reroute to accommodate the rebuild of the Aliso Street bridge also began that year, lasting until 1943.

The Altadena runs ended in January 1941. The line was rerouted to no longer serve the Pacific Electric Building in 1942 as buses had begun operating from the street-level concourse there. Cars thereafter loop around via San Pedro, Sixth, Main, First, and Los Angeles except on New Years Day to serve the Tournament of Roses until 1947 when they began serving the elevated concourse. One-man operation of cars began on October 22, 1950. The last trains ran over the line in the early morning of September 30, 1951, at the end of service from the previous day. A railfan excursion run after normal service that day became the last trip via electric railway between Los Angeles and Pasadena until the construction of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Gold Line in the early 2000s. Service was promptly replaced by buses.

Caltrans noted that all tracks had been removed along the route by 1981.

Route
The Pasadena Short Line followed the Monrovia–Glendora Line (Huntington Drive) to Fair Oaks Avenue in South Pasadena (Oneonta Junction). Here, the line branched north along double tracks in the pavement of Fair Oaks Avenue to California Boulevard. It then ran east one block on California Boulevard to Raymond Avenue and then north in the pavement of Raymond Avenue, past Colorado Street several blocks to the North Fair Oaks Carhouse (Located between Raymond and Fair Oaks Avenues). It then exited out the west side of the Carhouse on to Fair Oaks Avenue for its return trip. The Raymond Avenue track was abandoned in 1940 and Fair Oaks Avenue was used in both directions thereafter.

List of major stations

Southern Pacific depot service

Starting on May 1, 1912, some trips along the line began originating at the Los Angeles Southern Pacific station or the Pasadena Southern Pacific station. The Pasadena SP station was closed in 1927, thus the terminus was moved to the Pacific Electric Depot on Raymond Avenue. By August 11, 1932, frequency had been reduced to a single daily franchise car and the service was entirely eliminated on July 30 the following year.

Sheridan Tongue is an EMMY-winning and BAFTA-nominated television and film music composer from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He has written and produced soundtracks for many television series including the BBC's Wonders of the Universe and Wonders of the Solar System, Silent Witness (Series 9 – 20), Into The Universe with Stephen Hawking],.   Sheridan Tongue's score for Spooks (Series 3), achieved a BAFTA Television Craft nomination for Best Original Television Music.

Sheridan composed all the music for all five seasons of ITV's crime drama 'DCI Banks (Series 1–5)' produced by Left Bank Pictures'.

In 2020 Sheridan Tongue wrote the soundtrack for the BBC series Spotlight On The Troubles: A Secret History, for which he received a Royal Television Society Award NI Nomination for Best Original Music Score.

He has also engineered and mixed records for artists such as Blur, The Verve and received a Gold Record for his work with Beverley Knight

Early career
As a schoolboy he went to the Royal Belfast Academical Institution (RBAI) and the City of Belfast School of Music (CBSM) and enjoyed musical studies before going on to university at Surrey University. He graduated in 1989 with a BMus in Music and Sound Recording from the Tonmeister course at the University of Surrey, Tongue spent several years working in many commercial studios around London as a programmer, engineer, session musician and songwriter for recording artists including Blur, Beverly Knight, The Verve and Jocelyn Brown before setting up as a freelance film and television composer.

Live appearances
Sheridan has spoken at conferences around the world about music composing for television including SXSW.

IN-IS
Writing music under the pseudonym IN-IS, Sheridan has released two critically-acclaimed albums Seven Days and 2068. Hot Press described IN-IS's single Broken Ones feat. Haula as showcasing Sheridan's talent for "sleek electronic production and beautiful construction of sound".

IN-IS: 2068

2068 is the artist’s second IN-IS album was released in October 2020. It explores what the world will look like in fifty years.

Drawing upon Sheridan’s wide range of musical experiences, from orchestral and electronic to folk-influenced global music, IN-IS shows us a much more personal style to the artist and his craft.  2068 unlocks Sheridan’s musical voice from beyond his screen work, as his modern classical sound creates an intimate backdrop for the seven featured artists he introduces to his music for the first time. Written two years ago, it’s eerily apt for the strange times in which we now find ourselves.

Irish folk singer Ailbhe Reddy wrote the lyrics and performs 2068’s first single ‘Daydream’, with Tom Adams, Ává Bowers, Johny Satellitesister, David Gledhill, Haula, and Alev Lenz collaborating with Sheridan on other tracks.

Sheridan Tongue says: “2068 is a very personal project, borne out of my desire as an artist to explore what the world would look like many years from now. Back in 2018, I felt that we were living through such a period of intense growth with all the rapid advances in technology, whilst also becoming painfully aware of the effect our modern lifestyles were having on our planet and our wellbeing.”

Sheridan’s whole approach with 2068 is unconventional, writing his music first with the lyrics inspired by the individual singers and then woven into the tracks, almost like another instrument designed to elevate each piece.
