Athanasius V Gabriel Matar was Patriarch of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church for a few months in 1813.

Life
Gabriel Matar was born in Damascus. He was the brother of patriarch Agapius II Matar and, as his brother, he too entered in the religious order of the Basilian Salvatorians. Gabriel Matar studied in Rome for a short period and was ordained priest in 1782. In 1798 he was consecrated bishop of Hauran by his brother patriarch Agapius II Matar, and in 1800 he was transferred to the diocese of Saida.

On 14 August 1813 Gabriel Matar was elected patriarch, under the name Athanasius, by a synod of bishops held at Ain Traz Seminary. His election had no time to be confirmed by the Roman Congregation of Propaganda Fide because he died on 20 November 1813.

Wolverine: Weapon X is a 2009 comic book series published by Marvel Comics starring the superhero Wolverine. The series is written by Jason Aaron, writing his first ongoing series starring Wolverine after writing several one-shots and limited series featuring the Marvel mainstay character. The series lasted sixteen issues.

Publication history
While Weapon X is not published under Marvel's MAX imprint of Marvel, writer Jason Aaron has stated his intent to differ this title from the more mainstream Marvel series in which Wolverine is regularly featured.

In an interview, Aaron explained, "Basically, I'm approaching this like Garth Ennis did the Punisher MAX series. Obviously, this won't be a MAX book in terms of content, but we will see arcs that are stand-alone and feature lots of new characters and new villains. We'll really be working to establish our own continuity, instead of mining Logan's past. Daniel Way is already doing a great job of dealing with the ins and outs of Logan's history over in Wolverine: Origins, so I want to focus on telling new stories for people who maybe aren't as familiar with Wolverine continuity. We'll still be dealing with his past at times, just like how the first arc involves the legacy of Weapon X, but in a way that's still easily accessible."

Aaron also indicated that the series would not tie into the ongoing events of the Marvel Universe, such as "Dark Reign" storyline at least at first: "You'll see plenty of references to the big events of the Marvel U in these pages, but at least initially, you won't see us doing any crossovers or tie-ins...Again, I want this to be a series that anybody can step right into and enjoy, regardless of how many Wolverine comics they've read before."

Plot summary

The Adamantium Men (Issues #1–5)
The first arc deals with a private security organization called Blackguard obtaining files on the Weapon X procedure that transformed James Howlett into Wolverine. It leads into a tale of corporate espionage, with Wolverine attempting to single-handedly dismantle the organization trying to create their own versions of Weapon X soldiers, featuring artificially-enhanced senses, strength, agility, reflexes, stamina, an accelerated-healing factor, laser claws and adamantium-laced skeletons.

Insane in the Brain (Issues #6–9)
The second arc features Wolverine awaking in a mental asylum, where it is quickly realized that a psychopath is passing himself off as a psychiatrist to perform twisted experiments on inmates that he has captured and is keeping against their will. Wolverine, an apparent amnesiac, is having nightmares of his life as Wolverine as the "doctor" tries to reawaken the beast within Logan.

Love and the Wolverine (Issue #10)
An interlude story featuring a large cameo cast, as Wolverine comes to terms with falling in love again, despite the fact everyone he's ever loved before has either died or been killed as a result of his violent lifestyle.

Tomorrow Dies Today (Issues #11–15)
The third arc of the series features Wolverine teaming up with Captain America to fight a new generation of the killer cyborgs: Deathlok.

The End of the Beginning (Issue #16)
An independent closing tale for the series, where Wolverine deals with the death of his friend and fellow X-Man, Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler). Wolverine has to fulfill Nightcrawler's last request to him, and while doing so, remembers some of the interactions they had over the years.

Reception
Reviewers IGN gave a positive review to the series' first two issues.

Richard Wagner's works for the stage, representing more than 50 years of creative life, comprise his 13 completed operas and a similar number of failed or abandoned projects. His first effort, begun when he was 13, was a prose drama, Leubald, but thereafter all his works were conceived as some form of musical drama. It has been suggested that Wagner's wish to add incidental music to Leubald, in the manner of Beethoven's treatment of Goethe's drama Egmont, may have been the initial stimulus that directed him to musical composition.

Wagner's musical education began in 1828, and a year later he was producing his earliest compositions, writing words and music, since lost, for his first opera attempt, Die Laune des Verliebten. During the subsequent decade he began several more opera projects, none of which was successful although two were completed and one was staged professionally. His first commercial success came in 1842 with Rienzi, by which time he had completed Der fliegende Holländer, in which for the first time he used the device of the leitmotiv, a characteristic that became a feature of all his later works.

After accepting the post of Kapellmeister at the Dresden court of the King of Saxony in February 1843, Wagner continued to compose operas and plan various large-scale projects. His political activities forced him to flee the city in 1849, beginning a long period of exile. In Zurich, his first refuge, he wrote the essay Die Kunst und die Revolution ("Art and the Revolution"), in which he introduced the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), or "drama-through-music". This idea was developed in the extended discourse Oper und Drama ("Opera and Drama"), 1850–51. A different form of verse-setting, which Wagner termed Versmelodie, was proposed, in which the music would grow out of the verse, this unification overriding such traditional operatic considerations as display arias written as showcases for the talents of individual singers. According to Wagner historian Robert Gutman: "The orchestra with its many tongues would take over the traditional operatic tasks of the chorus". Beginning with Das Rheingold (1853–54), the principles of Gesamtkunstwerk became the basis of all Wagner's stage work, in which, quoting Wagner chronicler Charles Osborne, "the drama presented on a conscious level by the words [...] would be pursued on a deeper, unconscious level in the orchestra."

Librettist

From his first attempt in the opera genre, Die Laune des Verliebten, Wagner became his own librettist and remained so throughout his creative career. His practice was to create music and text simultaneously; in biographer Robert Gutman's words: "as the music proceeded it drew forth the words." While working on Tannhäuser Wagner explained his technique in a letter, saying: "before starting to create a verse or even outline a scene, I must first feel intoxicated by the musical aroma of my subject."

Cataloguing Wagner's works
Unlike the works of many composers, those of Richard Wagner were not identified by opus numbers, and no proper attempt to create a complete catalogue was made until the 1980s. In 1983 the Wagner scholar John Deathbridge, in an article in The Musical Times, outlined the need for a reliable catalogue. Two years later, in conjunction with Martin Gech and Egon Voss, he produced Wagner-Werk-Verzeichnis, described by fellow-scholar Michael Saffle as "perhaps the single finest and most useful of all Wagner reference works." Each of Wagner's known works, whether finished or unfinished, is listed in a number sequence running from 1 to 113. The list includes all compositions and all prose drafts where the music is either lost or unwritten.

George Lindsay Stewart (11 December 1882 – 10 November 1962) was a Scottish professional footballer, who played for Hibernian, Manchester City, Partick Thistle and the Scotland national team.

Club career
An outside right, Stewart began his professional career with Hibernian in 1904, replacing John Stewart (no relation) who had been part of the squad that won the Scottish Football League in 1903.

After two good years in Leith, Stewart was transferred to Manchester City at the end of the 1905–06 season for £650, which was a substantial transfer fee (the record fee at the time, for the transfer of Alf Common, was £1000). He made over 100 league appearances for City, experiencing a relegation in 1909 followed by promotion as winners of the 1909–10 Football League Second Division, before ending his career with short spells at Partick Thistle, Stalybridge Celtic and Merthyr Town, settling in the Manchester area.

International career
While playing for Hibs at club level Stewart made his Scotland debut in a 2–0 defeat by Wales at Tynecastle in the 1906 British Home Championship, and then also played in the 2–1 victory against England in the same tournament. He won two further international caps during his time with Manchester City.

Red Raven Comics was a title of Timely Comics (the predecessor of Marvel Comics). Only a single issue was published, cover-dated August 1940. It was replaced by the title The Human Torch, which began with issue #2 (Fall 1940), continuing the numbering inherited from Red Raven Comics. According to the Grand Comics Database, Red Raven Comics issue #1 contained no advertisements for issue #2 (instead, other titles were advertised), suggesting that the decision to cancel the title may have been made before the first issue went to press.

After this issue, the title character, avian superman Red Raven, did not appear in print again until 1968. The first Human Top was also introduced in this issue, as was a character named Mercury, presented as the Roman god but later retconned to be Makkari, one of the Eternals. Also introduced were Magar the Mystic, the all-seeing Eternal Brain, space adventurer Comet Pierce, and hapless policeman Officer O'Krime. None of these characters were continued in the Human Torch title. The Human Top had one other appearance, in 1942 in Tough Kid Squad.

Red Raven Comics #1 figured in the documentary Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope, part of which follows comic-book vendor Chuck Rozanski's futile quest to sell a copy for $500,000.

The Boeing Model 64 was an American single engine biplane training aircraft built by Boeing in the 1920s that failed to gain any orders.

Development and design

The Model 64 was built by Boeing at their own expense, and submitted to both the US Army and US Navy as a primary and gunnery training aircraft. The fuselage and tail was constructed of welded steel tubing, with wood wings spars and ribs. The wings used reverted to an earlier two bay design, due to aerodynamic problems with the Model 21/NB. For gunnery training a removable rear cockpit structure was built to carry a gun ring and flexible machine gun. A fixed synchronized gun could also be mounted to fire through the propeller.

The Model 64 first flew in February 1926. Later, the wings were replaced with ones using the thicker NACA Munk M-12 airfoil and which required only one set of struts. The updated plane first flew on 31 August 1926.

The aircraft was sold to Pacific Air Transport, later fitted with a Wright J-5 engine and resold to a private owner.

Sean A. Moore (April 20, 1964 – February 23, 1998) was an American fantasy and science fiction writer, and computer programmer. His primary significance as a writer is for his three pastiche novels featuring Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery hero Conan and for his work on the screenplay of the movie Kull the Conqueror, and novelization of the same film.

Life
Moore was a resident of Boulder, Colorado, where he worked in the field of computer programming in a number of different capacities, including programmer, systems operations specialist, and writer of computer games. He was employed as a programmer by Aspen Systems, Inc. He was also a designer of board games. His hobbies included playing computer games and fencing.

Moore died in a car crash in Boulder. He was survived by his wife. Services were held five days after his death in Denver.

Writing career
Moore was active as both a fan and a professional writer in the community of Colorado fantasy and science fiction enthusiasts. Initially writing part-time, he had become a full-time writer at the time of his death, primarily for Tor Books. His last work was an unfinished science fiction horror novel, provisionally titled Diggers. He was a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).

Works
Among Moore's works are three Conan novels and the novelization of the film Kull the Conqueror, all published by Tor Books. He also contributed in an uncredited capacity to the screenplay of the film, and wrote the novelette "10585," published in the anthology It Came from the Drive-In (DAW Books, 1996).

Reception
Moore has been both praised for his "strengths ... in crafting a clever, dense plot with immense, epic scope, and populating it with an imaginative flood of action and monsters," and criticized for "overwrit[ing] to an incredible degree" and "choppy ... start-and-stop structure."

Benjamin Jason Parris is an American author, educator, and museum planner best known as the creator of Wade of Aquitaine.  As an educator and technology consultant, he has won national awards.  In their August 19, 2005 edition, Long Island Business News placed Ben Parris in the Top Ten of their Who's Who in Technology list.

Education

Ben Parris graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn; did coursework in English from Columbia University in the 1980s; received his B.S. in Accounting from Brooklyn College in 1983; graduated from the U.S. Treasury Department's Advanced Business Communications program in 1985; and received his M.S. in Computer Science from Brooklyn College in 1987, passing his CPA exam in the same year.

Biography

After college, Parris became a tax expert and technology consultant in preparation for a career in museum administration.

At the United States Department of Treasury, he co-created with Juan Rivera the first procedures and public contact training program for Taxpayer Service Division in 1985, originating in Brooklyn District.  This was used as the national model after 1987.  Also in 1985 at Treasury, he implemented the pilot program for the nation's first semi-automated telephone information system known as TeleTax.  It is fully automated at this time.  In 1990, he wrote the first in-house financial statement software for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

As the executive director of the Long Island Museum of Science & Technology, Ben Parris led the organization in partnership with Nassau Technology Educators and Long Island University to the Unisys Prize for Online Science Education in 2002. His methods became the subject of a best practices seminar at the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Parris conceived an annual astronomy day at Long Island's Museums at Mitchel brought two Sky & Telescope Astronomy Day Awards in 2005: Overall Winner, and Best New Idea for the team of Long Island Museum of Science and Technology, Nassau County Firefighter's Museum and Education Center, and Cradle of Aviation Museum preceded by Honorable Mention for a larger team in 2003.

In his program for disadvantaged students at Alverta B. Gray Schultz Middle School in Hempstead, New York, he devised a method for scaling classic school science experiments up to real-world engineering budgets and materials.  This technique was widely disseminated and became standard practice in several of Long Island's leading schools.

Parris has been an educator for NASA in the Solar System Ambassador Program since its inception in 2002, and was periodically engaged by NASA TV to help train its management and consulting scientists and engineers in media exposure.

Author

Ben Parris incorporates his science fiction and fantasy heroes with his own afflictions discovering even greater strengths emerging to compensate for their original limitations.  At a young age, Ben Parris battled severe dyscalculia to tackle physics and calculus. Themes also include astral projection, and the multiverse.  His work is influenced by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Stephen R. Donaldson, John E. Stith, Orson Scott Card, Arthur C. Clarke, Nancy Kress, Ursula K. Le Guin, Anne McCaffrey, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Novels
 Wade of Aquitaine
 Mars Armor Forged
 Kreindia of Amorium

Non-fiction

A one-time columnist for Scholastic Administrator, a publication of Scholastic Corporation, Parris has published a variety of articles and award-winning short stories on music, science, education and business as well as humor.  The most cited of his short works is "The Other Mr. Nedzi."  In addition to a Wade of Aquitaine sequel, he is currently working on a book about fundraising called The Nonprofit Breadwinner.

Childhood and education
Klaus Agthe grew up in Apolda in the province of Thuringia, Germany, went to school in Weimar and studied business administration at the Humboldt University in Berlin under Professor Konrad Mellerowicz. Agthe had not been admitted to the university but travelled to Berlin anyway and, without an appointment, introduced himself to Mellerowicz, who organized his matriculation, though he had never met Agthe before. In the course of his studies, he eventually followed Mellerowicz to the Technical University of Berlin where he received his doctorate in 1958 with the work "Die Abweichungen in der Plankostenrechnung." He was sponsored by Professor Mellerowicz.

In the interim, Agthe had spent a year studying at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The experiences and perceptions he gained during this time would shape his life significantly.

Career
After finishing his studies, Agthe initially worked at Standard Elektrik Lorenz in Stuttgart, where he was mentored and significantly influenced by Harold Geneen, who was at that time the chief executive officer of SEL's parent company, ITT Corporation, In 1966 he moved to Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany, to take up a position with the Schmalbach-Lubeca company, where he ascended to the Executive Board of the company.
In 1976, following the acquisition of Schmalbach-Lubeca by the American Continental Can Company, Agthe moved to the United States to become a Vice President of Continental Can, with responsibility for operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

In 1983 Agthe left CCC (which had been renamed to Continental Group) and moved to the U.S. subsidiary of Brown, Boveri & Cie. to become its chief executive officer, a post he retained after Brown Boveri's merger with ASEA, from which Asea Brown Boveri emerged.  After ABB merged with Combustion Engineering Agthe considered retirement, but, subsequent to German reunification, he was asked to represent ABB in its transactions with the Treuhandanstalt, the trust which had been set up by the German government to facilitate the reprivatization of the numerous enterprises formerly owned by East Germany. Agthe moved to Berlin and spent the next two years acquiring several former state owned companies.

In 1992, back in the United States, Agthe finished out his career as an independent Consultant and a member of various Boards. He was elected to the Board of Directors of Yellow Freight and VIAG North America, among others Since 2005, Agthe lives in retirement. He has been a citizen of the United States since 1984.

On 1 August 2020 Klaus Rehkugler will take over as Head of Sales & Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Vans and will answer personally to Marcus Breitschwerdt, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans. He is currently the Head of Sales Operations and Communications for Europe Area at Mercedes-Benz Cars Rehkugler.

Activity as an Author
Agthe is the author and co-author of various books and articles about cost planning and business administration. One of his articles, published in the German Zeitung für Betriebswirtschaft in 1959, is considered groundbreaking in business circles.

In November 2008, Agthe published an autobiography entitled Shadows of War: A German Life in the Century of Extremes in the United States.

The Battle of Mount Gindarus or battle of Cyrrhestica in 38 BC was a decisive victory for the Roman general Publius Ventidius Bassus over the Parthian army of Pacorus, son of King Orodes, in the Greater Syria district of Cyrrhestica.

Prelude

After the defeat of the Roman army under Crassus at the Battle of Carrhae, Parthian forces made a number of raids into Roman territory. The Romans under Gaius Cassius Longinus, a survivor of the battle of Carrhae who had become proquaestor, defended the border against these incursions.

However, the Parthians returned in 40 BC with an even larger force, along with the rebel Roman Quintus Labienus in their service. This force defeated the Roman governor of Syria and proceeded to overrun the province. Many of the Roman troops in Syria at the time were former Republicans who had once fought against Mark Antony in the service of Brutus and Cassius, and many may have gone over to their fellow Republican Quintus Labienus in joining the Parthian invaders, further weakening the Roman position in the east.

In order to counter the Parthian gains, Mark Antony gave Publius Ventidius Bassus command of several legions. Ventidius learned from Crassus' errors and made sure that his forces had sufficient firepower in the form of archers and slingers, for heavy infantry by itself was vulnerable to the mobile Parthian horse-archers. He also recognised that flat ground favoured the Parthian cavalry, whereas hilly terrain would nullify this advantage.

Ventidius Bassus fought and defeated Quintus Labienus and the Parthian general Phranipates in Asia Minor; Labienus attempted to disguise himself and flee, but he was caught by Ventidius' forces and executed. The Parthians were forced to retire to the Amanus Pass, where they once again met Ventidius' forces. The Romans emerged victorious and the Parthians withdrew from Syria.

The battle
After this setback the Parthians launched another invasion into Syria in 38 BC, led by Pacorus, son of King Orodes. Ventidius, in order to gain time, leaked disinformation to Pacorus implying that he should cross the Euphrates River at their usual ford. Pacorus did not trust this information and decided to cross the river much farther downstream; this was what Ventidius hoped would occur and gave him time to get his forces ready.

The Parthians faced no opposition to their river crossing and proceeded to the town of Gindarus in Cyrrhestica, confident in their belief that their Roman foes were weak or cowardly, since they did not attempt to prevent the river crossing.

When the Parthians got to the town, which sat on a small hill, they encountered Roman legions confidently formed in battle order on the slopes. The Parthians rushed to attack - whether this order came from Pacorus or was a spontaneous charge is unknown. In any case, Ventidius ordered his troops, who had the advantage of high ground, to attack the horse-archers advancing up the slope. The horse-archers were forced into close-quartered combat against the legionaries and suffered heavily for it, for they were unsuited for such combat. The Parthian cavalry's will eventually broke and panic spread, many of the horse archers being driven down the slope where they crashed into their fellows in their desperation to escape. The horse-archers eventually fled or fell. Parthian heavy cavalry, which was stationed at the bottom of the hill, was enveloped and surrounded by the legionaries. Instead of immediately attacking with the legionaries, Ventidius made use of his slingers to rain down projectiles on the Parthian heavy cavalry, which included Pacorus himself. After the barrage was lifted the legionaries moved in and were quickly able to identify Pacorus because of his standard and expensive armour. Pacorus was eventually slain along with his bodyguards, and the remaining cavalry broke and attempted to flee from their entrapment, which not all managed to do. Overall the Roman army had achieved a complete victory.

Aftermath
Ventidius had anticipated that the Parthians, if defeated, would attempt to flee by the way they had come and so he had Roman infantry and cavalry lie in wait for them as they made their way back towards the Euphrates. The fleeing Parthians that were caught were destroyed. Ventidius, by meeting Pacorus' large army in Cyrrhestica and inflicting an overwhelming defeat on the Parthians, had succeeded in securing Rome's eastern provinces. Ventidius, if he wished, could have pursued the Parthians even further, but since he did not want to incur Antony's jealousy, he instead subdued those who had rebelled against Rome.

I Guess This Is Goodbye is the fifth installment in The Emo Diaries series of compilation albums, released October 24, 2000 by Deep Elm Records. As with all installments in the series, the label had an open submissions policy for bands to submit material for the compilation, and as a result the music does not all fit within the emo style. As with the rest of the series, I Guess This Is Goodbye features mostly unsigned bands contributing songs that were previously unreleased.

Reviewer Johnny Loftus of Allmusic remarks that "Sonically, this volume of the series doesn't tread too far from the emo feedbag. The set vacillates between a rawer, post-hardcore sound (Cast Aside) and the drifting and/or driving traditional emo of groups like [Kerith] Ravine and Benji. This is not the strongest chapter of the Emo Diaries, but it will certainly offer enough thrills and chills for Deep Elm faithful."

Allison Williams (born c. 1981) is a beauty queen from Morgantown, West Virginia who was crowned Miss West Virginia 2003. She competed in the Miss America 2004 pageant but was unplaced.

Sex tape lawsuit
Williams sued 59 defendants in countries such as the United States, Australia, South Africa, and The Netherlands for posting a sex video allegedly showing her in the back of a WVEC news van. She first discovered the video in August 2004 during her first week at law school. Her spokeswoman Lavinia Mann Cummings said, "These Web sites allege that the woman in the video is Miss West Virginia, but it's not", adding, "Some sites even had her pageant picture next to the video."

Williams won a $7.2 million verdict against nine Internet companies and individuals who tried to sell pornographic videos they falsely claimed featured her.

The Cinnamon Budgerigar Mutation is one of approximately 30 mutations affecting the colour of budgerigars.  It is the underlying mutation of the Cinnamon variety and, with Ino, a constituent mutation of the Lacewing variety.

Appearance

All the markings which appear black or dark grey in the corresponding Normal appear brown in the Cinnamon, of a shade similar to that of white coffee.  The Cinnamon markings on cocks tend to be considerably darker than on hens.  The long tail feathers are lighter than Normals.  The body colour and cheek patches are much paler, being about half the depth of colour of the Normal.  The feathers of Cinnamons appear tighter than Normals, giving a silky appearance.  It is these quiet pastel shades and the sleekness of the plumage that give the variety its appeal.

The eyes of the newly hatched Cinnamon are not black like the eyes of Normals, but deep plum-coloured.  This colour can be seen through the skin before the eyes open, and immediately after opening a reddish-brown gleam can be seen.  A few days later the eye darkens and is then barely distinguishable from that of a Normal chick, but by this time the difference in down colour is visible: Normal chicks have grey down, but Cinnamon (and Opaline and Ino) chicks have white.

The skin of Cinnamon chicks is also redder than Normal's, and this persists into adulthood: the feet of Cinnamons are always pink rather than bluey-grey.  The beak tends to be more orange in colour.

Superficially, the Cinnamon is very like the two types of Fallow, the German Fallow and the English Fallow, but the eye of the Cinnamon is dark brown with white iris (except for the first few days after hatching, when it is purplish or plum-coloured) whereas the eyes of both varieties of Fallow are red at all ages.  The body colour of the Cinnamon is also a rather deeper shade of green or blue than that of the Fallows.

Historical notes

Cinnamon specimens of many species have been observed in the wild.  A stuffed Cinnamon Light Green budgerigar hen owned by Mrs Ellis of Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, in 1935 and said then to be at least 50 years old was thought by Cyril Rogers to be wild-caught when he examined it.

The first Cinnamon to be reported in Britain was a Cinnamon White Blue hen bred in 1931 from a pair of Light Green split blues by Miss M E J Hughes and her brother Mr G N Hughes of Hampton Hill, Middlesex.  This bird was exhibited in 1931 and 1932, although not described as a Cinnamon as that name had not then been adopted.  The mutant hen and its sire died without further issue.  I J J Symes gave a description of what he called "the brown factor" in this bird, saying the wing markings varied from raw umber to burnt sienna.

A D Simms, of Potter's Bar, also in Middlesex at the time, paired together several Dark Green split greywing siblings in 1931 bred from an Olive cock and a Greywing Light Green hen.  Among other, eight Greywing Greens, all hens, were bred which showed a "rather peculiar colour in their nest feathers".  These hens were probably Cinnamons or Greywing Cinnamons, but as the Cinnamon variety was not known at the time they were regarded as slightly strange Greywings.

G F Porter of Codicote, near Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, obtained a pair of Dark Green split greywings from Simms, and he too bred what he called Greywing Green hens.  One of these he paired to a Cobalt split dilute cock and this pairing produced, among other progeny, a Cobalt cock which was later found to be split for Cinnamon and Dilute.  This cock, paired to a Dark Yellow split blue hen, bred a Cinnamon Skyblue hen in early 1933.  Other pairings of descendants from Simms' Dark Green split greywings produced a Cinnamon Olive and a Cinnamon Cobalt for Porter, also in 1933.  Towards the end on 1933 M Porter bred a Dark Green Cinnamon cock—the first Cinnamon cock to appear in Britain.

A Collier of Luton also bred two Cinnamon hens in 1933, a Mauve and an Olive, but as these were both from stock obtained from Porter, these were almost certainly the same mutation.  Collier was the first to report the characteristic plum-coloured eyes of the very young Cinnamon chick, perhaps being prompted to look for this as it was already a known characteristic of the Cinnamon Canary.

Further Cinnamons appeared in 1933 in the aviaries of G Hepburn of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.  These Cinnamons were bred from a pair of Light Greens obtained from a dealer in Aberdeen, but the ring on the cock showed it came from a Mr Banham, who lived near Victoria Station in London.  Hepburn attempted to trace the origin of his birds but was unable to establish a firm link to Simms' birds.  Nevertheless, all three Cinnamon mutations, those of Messrs Hughes, Simms and Hepburn, originated within a circle of 15 miles radius and within two years of each other.  This strongly suggests the importation of a single Cinnamon carrier cock into the Middlesex area around 1930.

S E Terrill reported that the first Australian Cinnamon appeared about August, 1931, near Adelaide.  In 1934 Terrill said he had "four or five cock Cinnamons of two, probably three, generations and about 36 Cinnamon hens of at least three generations."  Schumacher, of Magdeburg, Germany, also bred budgerigars with brown wings in 1932, but he disposed of them the year after and it is not known if these were Cinnamons.

Towards the end of 1934 the Budgerigar Society recognised the Cinnamon variety for exhibition purposes and published its show standard.

Genetics

The Cinnamon mutation is sex-linked, the locus of its gene being carried on the Z chromosome, and recessive to wild-type.  This was determined first by Cyril H Rogers working with Simms and Porter.  It was reported in the Budgerigar Bulletin as early as August 1933, and in more detail in September 1934.  At the time of the first report a Cinnamon cock had never been bred.  The first cock appeared late in 1933 as a result of a deliberate mating by  Porter of a Cinnamon hen and a split Cinnamon cock.

Cinnamon-like mutations are known in many other bird species, including the canary, greenfinch, peach-faced lovebird and cockatiel.  All these Cinnamon mutations are sex-linked recessives.

The gene locus has the symbol cin.  The wild-type allele at this locus is notated cin+ and the Cinnamon allele is notated cin.

In birds, the cock has two Z chromosomes and the hen has one Z and one W chromosome.  So in hens whichever allele is present on the single Z chromosome is fully expressed in the phenotype.  Hens cannot be split for Cinnamon (or any other sex-linked mutation).  In cocks, because Cinnamon is recessive, the Cinnamon allele must be present on both Z chromosomes (homozygous) to be expressed in the phenotype.  Cocks which are heterozygous for Cinnamon are identical to the corresponding Normal.  Such birds are said to be split for Cinnamon, usually written '/cinnamon'.

The adjacent table shows the appearance of all possible genetic combinations involving the Cinnamon mutation.

The Cinnamon gene is linked to other genes located on the X chromosome, i.e. to the genes of other sex-linked mutations.  These sex-linked mutations include the Opaline, Ino and Slate mutations.  The cross-over or recombination values between Cinnamon and these linked genes has not been measured accurately, but results collected by C Warner and T Daniels found 41 crossovers in 113 between Cinnamon and Opaline, giving a recombination ratio of 36±6%.  The Ino gene is known to be very close to the Cinnamon gene; for details see the Ino budgerigar mutation.

C H Rogers, reporting early breeding results in 1939, notes the breeding of Cinnamon Slates by G W Roderick, of Purley and L Trevallion of Loughton, Essex.   The appearance of two Cinnamon Slates by 1939 suggests these two genes are not closely linked.

Cocks split for both Cinnamon and Opaline have one Cinnamon allele and one Opaline allele together with one each of the corresponding wild-type alleles.  The linkage between the Cinnamon and Opaline genes gives rise to two types of split cinnamon opaline cocks, both visually identical.

 Type I split cinnamon opalines cocks are bred by mating Cinnamon Opalines to Normals and have the two mutant alleles on the same chromatid, symbolised as cin+-op+/cin-op.  Geneticists call this 'coupling' rather than 'Type I'.  Because of the linkage, the Cinnamon and Opaline alleles from Type I cocks tend to be inherited together in their progeny.  When mated to Normal hens, Type I cocks produce predominantly Cinnamon Opaline and Normal hens, with Cinnamon and Opaline hens resulting rarely from a cross-over.  Roughly one third of the hens will be Cinnamon-Opaline, one third Normal, one sixth Cinnamon and one sixth Opaline.
 Type II split cinnamon opaline cocks are bred by mating Cinnamons to Opalines and have the Cinnamon and Opaline mutant alleles on opposite chromatids, symbolised as cin+-op/cin-op+.  Geneticists call this 'repulsion' rather than 'Type II'.  Because of the separation, the Cinnamon and Opaline alleles from Type II birds tend to be inherited separately in their progeny.  When mated to Normal hens, Type II cocks produce predominantly Cinnamon and Opaline hens, with Cinnamon Opaline and Normal hens resulting rarely from cross-overs.  Roughly one third of the hens will be Cinnamon, one third Opaline, one sixth Cinnamon Opaline and one sixth Normal.

Hens cannot be split for any sex-linked gene, so only cocks exist in Type I and Type II form.

Wilno Land was a district of Poland, with capital in Vilnius, that existed from 13 April 1922 until 20 January 1926. The territory was formed in 1922 from territories of the Republic of Central Lithuania incorporated into Poland, and a 3 counties from Nowogródek Voivodeship. In 1926, the territory was transformed into the Wilno Voivodeship, becoming the last voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic to be formed. It had an area of  and in 1925, it was inhabited by 973,404 people.

History

Wilno Land was formed on 13 April 1922, from territories of Republic of Central Lithuania, following its incorporation by Second Polish Republic. The annexation itself was decided in the bill signed on 6 April 1922. The annexed lands included the city of Vilnius as well as the territories of Brasław, Oszmiana, Święciany, Troki and Wilno Counties. Additionally to territory were added Duniłowicze, Dzisna and Wilejka Counties from neighbouring Nowogródek Voivodeship. Between 1923 and 1924, Wilno and Troki Counties were combined into Wilno-Troki County, tough de facto they acted as singular county since 1921. On 1 January 1926, Duniłowicze County was transformed into Postawy County.

On 20 January 1926, following the bill from 22 December 1925, Wilno Land was transformed into the Wilno Voivodeship, becoming the last voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic to be formed.

Administrative division
Wilno Land was divided into 8 counties that were divided into the 118 municipalities, 13 of which were cities.

Waldschmidt Hall (originally West Hall) is an academic building at the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon, United States. Constructed in 1891 as West Hall, the building was originally part of the now defunct Portland University located in North Portland overlooking the Willamette River. The Romanesque style structure built of brick and stone stands five stories tall. The hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and renovated in 1992, the same year it took the current name. Waldschmidt, the oldest building on campus, now houses the school's administration offices and some classrooms.

History

Members of the Methodist Episcopal Church founded Portland University in 1891 in Portland and began raising funds to open the school. That year the university built a five story tall brick building at a cost of $32,500. Named West Hall when it opened, it first was used as a residence hall, the school's chapel, and for classrooms, as it was the only building on campus. While a companion building was never constructed, the name "West Hall" was selected with the possibility of a future "East Hall" in mind. Portland University suffered financial problems and had to abandon the campus after defaulting on loans in 1896. The campus and West Hall then became the property of the prior owners.

In 1901, Archbishop Alexander Christie purchased the campus and building in a trade of two properties the church owned plus $1 in an effort to start a Catholic affiliated school. In September 1901, Christie opened Columbia University with West Hall as the sole building on campus. A student at the school apparently drowned in the Willamette in 1911 and is believed to haunt the building. In 1916, West Hall's appearance was enhanced with the inclusion of flowers around the building, as well as with ivy covering parts of the exterior. The task to decorate the building was promoted by Holy Cross Brother Tobias O'Brien, C.S.C., in which his stated goal was to present West Hall as looking "more attractive and picturesque." Within eighteen years, the ivy had grown above the level of West Hall's fourth story. The ivy would remain on West Hall until 1958, when it was determined that the weight of the heavy ivy curtains was accelerating the decay of the building's brick structure.

The school changed its name to the University of Portland in 1935.

Historic landmark designation and renovations

West Hall was designated a historic landmark by Portland in 1970, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1977. Seven months prior, on February 18, 1977, a ceremony was held at the entrance of West Hall to reveal the commemorative plaque for the building's designation. University of Portland president Paul E. Waldschmidt, C.S.C. held the honors of unveiling the plaque during the festivities. Close to this time period, measures were being taken in order to preserve West Hall. In 1975, a fresh layer of mortar was applied between many of the bricks in the building to guard West Hall from deleterious weather effects.

In 1990, the school embarked on a three renovation project of the structure to bring it up to code and prevent it from falling apart. Repairs included fixing sagging walls and floors, as well a retrofitting the building to meet modern seismic standards and other building codes, such as the AVA, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC building codes. However, West Hall's recent designation on the National Register of Historic Places called for a challenging renovation process. Utilizing the design from Soderstrom Architects, the $5.5 million project utilized the original blueprints and old pictures to maintain the original look and feel of the building. Other work included making it accessible to the handicapped, replacing windows, restoring the hardwood floors, and re-creating the front entrance. The renovations also enhanced the technological capabilities of the classrooms housed in West Hall with the addition of computer classrooms. Paid for in part by private donations, the project was completed in October 1993.

Renaming to Waldschmidt Hall
In October 1992, the University of Portland renamed the building as Waldschmidt Hall in honor of former school president and Roman Catholic bishop Paul E. Waldschmidt, following his retirement from his position as auxiliary bishop of Portland two years prior. The ceremony for the renaming of the building was the conclusion of a four-day celebration to honor the 150th year of the Congregation of the Holy Cross in America, in addition to the celebration of University of Portland's 90th year as an academic institution. The commemoration also included a painted portrait of Waldschmidt, which was commissioned to artist Wayne Chin. The portrait is housed on the northeast interior wall near the building's main entrance.

After renovations were completed in 1993, the hall housed the administrative offices of the university, including student services, and some classrooms. On May 1, 2001, the United States Postal Service dedicated a commemorative postcard in honor of the university's 100 anniversary that featured Waldschmidt Hall. Part of the Postal Services Historic Preservation series, the computer generated image of the building was created by John Pirman.

Architectural details

Frederick Manson White, Richard H. Martin, Jr., and William F. McCaw served as the three original architects for the building. Romanesque in architectural style, the five story structure has stone, brick, and cast iron on the exterior. The hall was patterned after Harvard University's Sever Hall and includes a wide, domed entrance. The abundant use of brick on the building's exterior is also indicative of a Sever Hall inspiration. As a result, Waldschmidt Hall's design is similar in style to buildings modeled after the Collegiate Gothic style, an architectural style that was commonly associated with private colleges in the eastern United States during the late 19th century, but, nevertheless, found its way to the Pacific Northwest. The red brick exterior used for Waldschmidt Hall also marks a hint of Richardsonian Romanesque inspiration, a style that White could be associated with in the Pacific Northwest, for buildings such as the Hotel Vintage Plaza in Portland. Measuring , Waldschmidt is the oldest building the University of Portland campus.

The interior of the building features walls paneled with cherry wood, oak flooring, a carpeted stairway, large windows, modern furnishings, and old photographs of the hall hung on some walls. As of 2009, Waldschmidt Hall houses the university's administrative offices including admissions and the registrar, as well as some classrooms. Some of the red bricks outside of the top floor have initials carved into them by former students.

Henry Storms (c. 1795 – 1874 in Tarrytown, Westchester County, New York) was an American merchant and politician from New York.

Life
He was an Assistant Alderman from the Twelfth Ward in 1826 and 1827.

He was Commissary General of the New York State Militia from 1842 to 1847. In 1847, he was the President of the Monument Association which was to build a George Washington Monument in New York City. The cornerstone of the monument was laid with a great celebration on October 19, 1847, and then abandoned. On December 15, 1847, an Act was passed by the State Legislature "to pay Henry Storms a compensation for extra services rendered to the State". The Act was repealed on April 11, 1848, by the next State Legislature.

From 1852 to 1854, he was an Inspector of State Prisons, elected in 1851 on the Democratic ticket. His corrupt administration at Sing Sing was denounced in a report published in 1855.

Dennis John Fidler (22 June 1938 – 2 June 2015) was an English footballer. A winger, he scored 59 goals in 229 league appearances in an 11-year career in the Football League.

A two-time FA Youth Cup winner with Manchester United, he turned professional at Manchester City in 1957. He joined Port Vale in May 1960, before being sold on to Grimsby Town for £2,000 in October 1961. He was promoted out of the Third Division with the "Mariners" in 1961–62, before joining Halifax Town. He spent five years at the club, playing 143 league games, before transferring to Darlington in 1967. The next year he signed with Macclesfield Town, and won the Northern Premier League twice as well as the FA Trophy.

Career
Fidler was born in Stockport in 1938. He played for Manchester United as a youth, but never played first team football. He played alongside names such as Duncan Edwards, Wilf McGuinness and Bobby Charlton as Jimmy Murphy led the United youth side to two successive FA Youth Cup final victories, beating West Bromwich Albion in 1955 and Chesterfield in 1956.

He signed amateur forms with cross-town rivals Manchester City in 1956, and turned professional at Maine Road the following year. Les McDowall gave him his senior debut in October 1957, as he played outside-forward in a 2–2 draw with Luton Town. Fidler took the place of Paddy Fagan, who had been away on international duty. Fagan returned in the next match, and Fidler had to wait over a year to receive another opportunity, a four-game run in place of Bobby Johnstone. During this spell he scored his first senior goal in a 4–0 win over Leeds United in a First Division match at Elland Road. In February 1959 he made his final appearance for the club, against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Fidler joined Norman Low's Port Vale in May 1960. He scored on his debut, in a 3–1 defeat to Bury at Gigg Lane on 27 August. He scored again two days later, in a 4–1 win over Shrewsbury Town at Vale Park. He ended the 1960–61 season with 11 goals in 34 Third Division appearances, and also shot two goals in five FA Cup and League Cup games. He opened the 1961–62 season with a goal in a 4–2 defeat to Shrewsbury Town at Gay Meadow, but played just three further games before being dropped in September.

He was sold on to Tim Ward's Grimsby Town for £2,000 in October 1961. He scored three goals in nine Third Division games, as the "Mariners" won promotion in second place behind Portsmouth in 1961–62. However his stay at Blundell Park was brief, and he moved on to Halifax Town. Don McEvoy's "Shaymen" finished bottom of the Third Division in 1962–63, and then finished tenth in the Fourth Division in 1963–64. Under Willie Watson's stewardship, Halifax dropped into the re-election zone in 1964–65, before rising up to 15th spot in 1965–66. Alan Ball then took the club to 12th place in 1966–67. Fidler scored 40 goals in 143 league games during his time at The Shay. He then joined Ray Yeoman's Darlington, and scored three goals in 34 Fourth Division games in the 1967–68 season. He then departed Feethams, and joined Macclesfield Town of the Northern Premier League. Whilst with the "Silkmen" he won the league in 1968–69 and 1969–70, and also won the first ever FA Trophy final at Wembley in 1970 with a 2–0 victory over Telford United.

After retiring from football at Moss Rose he worked in the family wholesale fish business and emigrated to Italy in 1990. He died in Italy in 2015.

The NTA Film Network was an early American television network founded by Ely Landau in 1956 that operated on a part-time basis, broadcasting films and several first-run television programs from major Hollywood studios. Despite attracting more than 100 affiliate stations and securing the financial support of Twentieth Century-Fox (which purchased a 50% share of NTA in November 1956), the network proved unprofitable and was discontinued by 1961. The NTA Film Network's flagship station WNTA-TV is now WNET, one of the flagship stations of the Public Broadcasting Service.

Origins
Parent company National Telefilm Associates was founded by producers Ely Landau and Oliver A. Unger in 1954 when Landau's film and television production company Ely Landau, Inc. was reorganized in partnership with Unger and screenwriter/producer Harold Goldman. NTA was the successor company to U.M. & M. TV Corporation, which it purchased in 1956.

In October 1956, the NTA Film Network was launched with more than 100 affiliate stations. It was a syndication service that distributed films and television programs to independent television stations and stations affiliated with NBC, CBS or ABC. The network's flagship station was WNTA-TV Channel 13 in New York. Trade papers called the NTA Film Network a new television network.

Unlike the Big Three television networks, the local stations in the NTA Film Network were not connected via coaxial cable or microwave relay. Instead, NTA Film Network programs were mailed to each station, a method used by other television syndicators in the 1950s and 1960s. However, many local stations agreed to broadcast NTA Film Network programs simultaneously. Landau's claim to network status was based on the simultaneous airing of the programs.

In November 1956, Twentieth Century-Fox announced its 50% purchase of the NTA Film Network and its plans to produce original content for the network. The film network grew to 128 stations. In September 1957, the network purchased KMGM-TV (now KMSP-TV) in Minneapolis.

Affiliates

The following is a list of NTA Film Network affiliate stations in November 1956.

Later affiliates included KOOK-TV in Billings, Montana (c. 1958-1959), KONO-TV in San Antonio (c. 1958–1959), WISH-TV in Indianapolis (c. 1958–1959) and KTVU in San Francisco (c. 1959–1960). The network purchased KMGM-TV in Minneapolis in September 1957.

Programs

The NTA Film Network aired both films and television series. Among its 1956–1957 offerings were 52 Twentieth Century-Fox films. Premiere Performance, a prime-time block of Twentieth Century-Fox films, aired from 1957 to 1959. Other film blocks included TV Hour of Stars and The Big Night (both 1958–1959).

The network's television programs included:

 How to Marry a Millionaire (1957–1959), based on the popular 1953 film of the same name.

 Man Without a Gun (1957–1959), a Western series about a newspaper editor who brings criminals to justice without the use of guns.

 This Is Alice (1958–1959)

 The Play of the Week (1959–1961), a series of 67 televised plays.

Other lesser-known NTA series included:

 The Bill Corum Sports Show (1957)
 Man's Heritage (1957)
 The Passerby (1957)
 Official Detective (1957–1958)
 Open End (1958–1961)
 William Tell (1958–1959)
 Assignment: Underwater (1959–1960)
 Q. T. Hush (1960–1961)
 The Sheriff of Cochise (1956–1958)
 Alex in Wonderland (1959)
 Newsbeat (1959–1961)
 Juke Box Jury (1958–1959)
 The Best of Bishop Sheen (1958–1963)
 Danger Is My Business (1958)
 Divorce Court (1958–1961)
 Glencannon (1959)
 Grand Jury (1959)
 Mantovani (1959)
 Henry Morgan and Company (1959)
 George Jessel's Show Business (1959)
 The Mike Wallace Interview (1959–1961)
 The Third Man (1960–1961)
 The Oscar Levant Show (1960)
 Confidential Portrait (1962)
 Crime Reporter (1962)
 Probe (1962)

In October 1956, the NTA Film Network also announced provisional plans to telecast live sporting and special events (using network relays) by the 1959–1960 television season.

Timeline of programs
This timeline shows the airdates of the NTA Film Network's programs and later NTA offerings. The number of episodes aired for each series is noted in parentheses. Some dates are tentative, as accurate records for filmed television series were not always maintained.

Schedule
Friday 1958–1959

Note: This schedule was announced in May 1958. According to the announcement, 17 television stations would follow this schedule for the 1958–1959 television season; other NTA Film Network affiliates aired the programs out of pattern.

End of network
In January 1959, Ely Landau was succeeded by Charles C. Barry, who assumed the role of president of network operations. Landau continued to chair National Telefilm Associates. Despite Twentieth Century-Fox's 50% ownership, the film network never developed into a major commercial television network on a par with the "Big Three" television networks. Several modern television historians regard the NTA Film Network as a syndication service rather than a major television network.

By 1961, WNTA-TV was losing money, and the network's flagship station was sold to the Educational Broadcasting Corporation that November. WNTA-TV became WNDT (later WNET), flagship station of the National Educational Television network, a forerunner of PBS. NTA network operations did not continue without a flagship station, although parent company National Telefilm Associates continued syndication services. Four television series (Probe, Tintin, The Fair Adventure and A Day with Doodles) were syndicated by NTA between 1962 and 1966.

Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 17 June 2001. The result was a victory for the National Movement – Simeon II, which won 120 of the 240 seats. Following the elections, Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the country's last Tsar, who was deposed by the Bulgarian Communist Party in 1946, became Prime Minister.

Background
The elections came four years after the last parliamentary elections in 1997, marking the first occasion since the fall of communism that a full term had been completed. A total of 65 parties registered for the elections, together with eleven independents.

National Movement – Simeon II was originally prevented from registering by Sofia City Court as it failed to meet the Central Election Committee's requirements. However, after forming an alliance with the Bulgarian Women's Party and the Movement for National Revival, the party was allowed to register.

Results

Aftermath
Following the elections, Simeon Sakskoburggotski became Prime Minister and formed the Sakskoburggotski Government.

A study in the context of the election investigated which societal groups contribute to electoral volatility on the individual level. The findings described that voters belonging to the Turkish minority contribute to party system stability because they were less likely to switch their vote than their Bulgarian or Roma peers. The authors argue that "ethnic socialization provides information shortcuts for vote choice in low-information environments of new democracies." The case is considered evidence that ethnic minorities with relevant ethnic-linguistic parties in new democracies contribute to party system stability.

Detective Story is a 1949 play in three acts by American playwright Sidney Kingsley. The play opened on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre on March 23, 1949 where it played until the production moved to the Broadhurst Theatre on July 3, 1950. The production closed on August 12, 1950 after 581  performances. The cast notably included Lydia Clarke who won a Theatre World Award for her performance.

Other cast members included Ralph Bellamy as Detective Jim McLeod, Meg Mundy  as Mary McLeod, James Westerfield as Detective Lou Brody, Joan Copeland as Susan Carmichael, Harry Worth as Dr. Kurt Schneider, and Maureen Stapleton as Miss Hatch.  The burglars were played by Joseph Wiseman and Michael Strong, who repeated their performance in the 1951 film version. Kingsley was awarded an Edgar from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Mystery Play.  The play was selected as one of the best plays of 1948-1949, with an excerpted version published in "The Burns Mantle Best Plays of 1948-1949."

In April 1950 the play opened at London's Prince's Theatre.  with George Margo, Ronan O'Casey and Douglass Montgomery.

In 1951, a short-lived production was staged at Harlem's Apollo Theater, with Sidney Poitier as Detective McLeod. A reviewer writing for Variety thought that Poitier lacked the maturity to play a grizzled detective and that the actor's goatee beard was "more suited to a be-bop musician than a gumshoe."

Another short-lived production was presented at the Ivar Theater and starred Allen Jenkins, Frank Fiumara, and Suzanne Alexander. It opened on June 4, 1951 and concluded the following month.

Adaptations
Detective Story was presented on Broadway Playhouse January 7, 1953. The 30-minute adaptation starred Van Johnson. The play was adapted into a 1951 film of the same name.

John Thistlewood Davenport (1817–1901) was an English pharmacist and businessman.  He was the founder of J. T. Davenport & Sons, a pharmaceuticals company based in Great Russell Street, London which bought the patent for Dr. John Collis Browne's 'chlorodyne' and sold the famous drug for ailments including headache, stomachache, insomnia, and cholera. Davenport served as Vice-President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (formerly the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain) from 1853–55 and as its President, 1855-56. An obituary for him in the Society's Pharmaceutical Journal gave this credit to him: “the first official recognition of the Society in connection with the British Pharmacopoeia may be said to date from the time of Mr. Davenport’s presidency.”

Personal life
Davenport was nephew of Arthur Thistlewood, the leader of the Cato Street conspiracy. He married  Cecilia Hopgood, daughter of Thomas Burn Hopgood (1785–1860), the London silvermaker. His second wife was Eliza Clarendon Forbes, daughter of Captain John Forbes. Amongst his children were Horace Davenport the athlete and Cambridge University's one time representative in the 'mile dash' and Rev. John M. Davenport. Davenport's grandson was Hayward Davenport who later took over the business.

Rocky Fortune is an American radio drama that aired weekly on NBC Radio beginning in October 1953. The series ended its run in March 1954 after 25 episodes. The program was created by George Lefferts. Frank Sinatra voiced the title role of Rocky Fortune for the entire series.

Rocky Fortune aired Tuesday nights on NBC at 9:35 pm Eastern, immediately following Dragnet (and a five-minute John Cameron Swayze newscast). It was a sustaining series, meaning that NBC presented the program without corporate sponsorship. The premiere episode, "Oyster Shucker", originally aired on October 6, 1953.

Characters and story
Frank Sinatra portrayed Rocco Fortunato, also known as Rocky Fortune, a young man of several talents constantly in need of employment and who accepts odd jobs from the fictitious Gridley Employment Agency, often referred to simply as "the Agency." During the course of the series, he would work as a process server, museum tour guide, cabbie, bodyguard, chauffeur, truck driver, social director for a Catskills resort and a carny, in addition to various musical jobs. These assignments typically led Rocky into situations where he would track down criminals, often rescuing people (especially women) in need of help, and ultimately needing to find yet more work. Rocky made many wise remarks, using "hep" slang of the times, and seemed to attract trouble wherever he went.

Sinatra infused the role of Rocky with a witty, tongue-in-cheek quality that acknowledged Sinatra's own career. For example, in the episode "Football Fix", Rocky begins to sing "I've Got the World on a String" while walking down the street, a song Sinatra had performed prior to playing the role of Rocky.

Aside from Sinatra, the only other recurring role on the series was that of Hamilton J. Finger, a solid and dependable (though not very intelligent) police sergeant voiced by Barney Phillips. Other guest roles on Rocky Fortune were voiced by actors such as Raymond Burr, Ed Begley and Jack Kruschen.

Creator of the show George Lefferts was also one of the primary scriptwriters, along with Ernest Kinoy. The two had previously collaborated on other radio programs such as X Minus One and Dimension X:  in the episode "Rocket Racket", Fortune's job is apparently to fly a prototype spaceship. An eccentric oil millionaire tells of his fascination with science fiction and space travel, to which Rocky knowingly acknowledges, "Dimension X." Lefferts and Kinoy would go on to become award-winning writers and producers in the years that followed.

Edward "Eddie" King was the show's narrator, who began each episode by stating, "NBC presents Frank Sinatra, starring as that footloose and fancy-free young gentleman, Rocky Fortune!" (though it was "footloose and frequently unemployed..." for the first two episodes).

The final episode, "Boarding House Doublecross", aired on March 30, 1954, less than a week after Sinatra won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Private Angelo Maggio in the 1953 film, From Here to Eternity. As a running gag towards the end of the show's run, Sinatra would work the phrase "from here to eternity" into the script as a reference to his film role in almost every episode.

Olga M. Madar (May 17, 1915 – May 16, 1996) was the first woman to serve on the United Auto Workers (UAW) International Executive Board.

Early life
Born in Sykesville, Pennsylvania, Madar moved to Detroit, Michigan during the Great Depression. After graduating from Northeastern High School School in 1933, Madar started her career in the auto industry in 1933 on the Chrysler assembly line. In 1938, she graduated from Eastern Michigan University (formerly Michigan Normal School) with a degree in physical education. In 1941, she joined the UAW Local 50 while working at Ford’s Willow Run bomber plant. Her brother was Elmer Madar.

Union work
According to Doug Fraser, former UAW president, Madar “was a trailblazer in the struggle for equal rights,” fighting to end racial discrimination and a champion of women’s rights. In 1947, Madar led a crusade to end racial discrimination in the men and women’s bowling association.  Victory came in 1952 when the white-only membership policy was removed. She was also active in organizing community recreation programs.

Madar was named to the UAW International Executive Board in 1966. She was also the first woman elected as the union’s vice president in 1970. In 1974, Madar was the force behind the creation of the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW), a nonprofit organization for trade union women affiliated with AFL-CIO.  The CLUW was composed largely of women who felt disempowered in their individual unions.  During the organization's first convention in 1974, Madar was elected its national president.

Environmentalism
In 1972, Madar said, "The chief victims of pollution are the urban poor, Blacks and workers who cannot escape their environment. Unless we join together now to stop those who pollute for profit, our cities will become ugly cesspools of poisonous pollutants.”
