paragraph: Megan Jill Russell

paragraph: Megan Jill Russell is a Biomedical and Electrical engineer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. She is popularly known for inventing an artificial larynx which was featured by MIT Technology Review, but perhaps more importantly, she is involved in the development of methods of Computer-assisted detection of Tuberculosis.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Russell was born into a scientific family. Her father and two brothers are engineers and her mother a chemist. She was given further inspiration to study in the sciences when she received a hand-written letter from James Watson (of DNA fame) in her final year at school. She studied at the University of Cape Town and completed her BSc in Electrical Engineering followed by an MSc in Biomedical engineering in 2007. Her masters project involved the development an automated microscope with a built-in digital camera to assist in the detection of tuberculosis (TB). She completed her PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2011.

paragraph: From 2012 she has lectured at the faculty of engineering and the built environment of the University of Johannesburg and was an ambassador of their "Women in Engineering and the Built Environment" project. One of her first post-graduate projects was a mobile laboratory allowing for the testing for TB, CD4 counts (for HIV) and blood-glucose levels (for diabetes).

paragraph: Section::::Tuberculosis detection.

paragraph: Tuberculosis can be detected by lung x-rays but requires skilled interpretation of the x-rays. Computer assisted detection (CAD) can assist where there is a shortage of skilled x-ray interpreters. Russel was involved in the development of a CAD system at the University of the Witwatersrand using a mathematical modelling technique called Autoregressive-Moving-Average.

paragraph: Section::::Artificial larynx.

paragraph: Russell developed a tongue-tracking artificial larynx which is used to facilitate speech in patients who have had a laryngectomy, often as a result of cancer. This was not the first such device to have been invented, although many such devices are not ideal solutions as the patients who use them still have difficulty speaking.

paragraph: Russel's device detects the position of the tongue against the palate using a system manufactured by two companies called Logometrix and Complete Speech. The customised "palatometer" detects the tongue position during speech. This information is fed to a machine learning algorithm that interprets what the patient is saying and a voice synthesiser produces the speech.

paragraph: According to Russel, the system can recognise 50 words and identifies the correct word 94.14% of the time but also skips words that it can't identify 18% of the time.

paragraph: The intention in 2009 was to miniaturise the system, which at that time was linked to a desktop PC.

paragraph: Eugène Le Roy

paragraph: Eugène Le Roy (; 29 November 1836, Hautefort – 6 May 1907, Montignac, Dordogne) was a French author.

paragraph: Section::::Early Life.

paragraph: Eugène Le Roy was born in 1836 in Hautefort, a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. His parents were servants to Ange Hyacinthe Maxence de Damas de Cormaillon, Baron de Damas, a former minister who owned the Château de Hautefort. The circumstances there forced them to leave Le Roy with a nurse at a peasant's house in the neighborhood. His childhood memories strongly influenced his future work, which featured many storylines with abandoned children. This was an undeniable social reality of the time that later became one of the clichés of the era's popular romances.

paragraph: From 1841 to 1847, Le Roy studied at a rural school in Hautefort at a time when most children remained illiterate. He moved to Périgueux in 1848 for further studies at École des Frères. One prominent memory of his childhood was the planting of a tree of freedom ("Arbre de la liberté") to celebrate advent in the Second Republic.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1851, he refused to join a seminary and became a grocer in Paris. He joined the socialists, as described in his novel "Le Moulin du Frau", and assisted with the establishment of the Second Empire. In 1855, he enlisted in the 4th regiment of the French cavalry and participated in military campaigns in Algeria and Italy. He served for 5 years, but then resigned after being demoted in rank for insubordination.

paragraph: In 1860, after passing the entry exam for the civil service, he became an assistant tax collector in Périgueux. During the Franco-German War of 1870, he joined the francs-tireurs, an irregular military force deployed by France during the early stages of war. Following the final French defeat in 1871, he rejoined the tax collection service in Montignac. He subsequently fell very ill and spent the best part of a year recovering from his illness.

paragraph: In 1877, Le Roy applied for admission to the Masonic lodge "Les Amis Persévérants et l'Étoile de Vesone Réunis" in eastern Périgueux, but the Prefect of Dordogne was ordered by the Minister of the Interior, Oscar Bardi de Fourtou, to close some Masonic Lodges, including the one Le Roy had joined. Le Roy was reinstated as a tax collector during 1878 after Mac Mahon lost the elections of October 1877.

paragraph: He retired to Montignac at the beginning of the 20th century. He was offered the Légion d'honneur in 1904, however, he declined it .

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Writing.

paragraph: On 14 June 1877, Le Roy married his mistress Marie Peyronnet, with whom he already had a three-year-old son, in a civil ceremony, His non-conformity and his republicanism resulted in his dismissal, along with (and for the same reason) thousands of other government officials, by the government of Mac-Mahon. Soon after his dismissal, he began to write abundantly.

paragraph: Beginning in 1878, Eugène Le Roy wrote many republican and anti-clerical articles for local newspapers, notably "Le Réveil de la Dordogne". As an advocate of the separation of Church and State, he wrote in the political and philosophical vein of radical Freemasonry during the latter half of the nineteenth century. His first novel "Le Moulin du Frau" was published in 1890 and was politically biased in favour of radicalism. He then published "Traditions et Révolutions en Périgord pendant la seconde moitié du XIX siècle".

paragraph: From 1891 to 1901, Eugène Le Roy wrote a 1086 page manuscript entitled "Études critiques sur le christianisme". In 1899, he published the novel Jacquou le Croquant, which tells the story of a peasant revolt against the social injustices of his time, from the restoration era until the end of the nineteenth century. This was made into a television series in 1969.

paragraph: Lyndon Rush

paragraph: Lyndon Rush (born November 24, 1980) is a Canadian retired bobsledder who has competed since 2004. Rush took up bobsleigh after spending five years playing Canadian football for the University of Saskatchewan. He initially trained as a brakeman before switching to driving due to a hamstring injury.

paragraph: Rush won a bronze medal in the four-man event at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He won the silver medal in the mixed bobsleigh-skeleton team event at the 2008 FIBT World Championships in Altenberg, Germany.

paragraph: Born in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Rush made his first breakthroughs in Bobsleigh during the 2009-10 Bobsleigh World Cup winning the opening 4 man event in Park City, Utah. Lyndon Rush also finished 3rd at the 4-man event in Cesana, Italy all of which contributing to his current ranking of third in the 4-man event. Rush, together with Lascelles Brown managed a tie for the victory with André Lange at the 2-man event in St-Moritz, this was their first victory and podium in the 2-man.

paragraph: After his runs in both two-man and four-man bobsleigh at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Rush openly mused about retiring. Rush is a deeply religious and devoted family man and following the four-man bobsleigh run in Whistler in which he lost out on silver by 1/100th of a second. Rush said that "It makes me feel like I don't want to retire. I like racing bobsled. It's fun. But I think I might have to move on. I'm 29 years old. I'm not a kid. I can't go touring all over Europe all the time."

paragraph: He became partners with Jesse Lumsden at the beginning of the 2012 season and the duo won their first World Cup Gold medal together in the two-man event on February 3, 2012. It was Rush's second victory in two-man event and his eighth medal in his career on the World Cup circuit. Rush then built on his successes with Lumsden to win a silver medal at the 2012 World Championships. There, despite battling through a stomach virus on his last two runs, as he was in second through the first two runs, he was eventually overtaken by Steven Holcomb pushing him to the silver by 1/100th of a second. In 2013 the duo of Rush and Lumsden won the overall World Cup two-man bobsleigh title.

paragraph: Rush retired from the sport after the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Since retiring he has taken up a role as assistant coach of WinSport Academy's bobsleigh programme, training developing bobsledders.

paragraph: Rush married Krista in 2003, and the couple have two daughters. Rush currently resides in Sylvan Lake, Alberta where he works as a real estate agent.

paragraph: María Josefa García Granados

paragraph: María Josefa García Granados y Zavala (10 July 1796 - 28 July 1848) was a Guatemalan intellectual, writer, journalist and poet of Spanish origin, and one of the greatest intellectual exponents of the independence of Guatemala in 1821. She was also a feminist ahead of her time, who with her strong and dominant character prevailed in Guatemalan society. She was the sister of General Miguel García Granados, who was the first liberal president of Guatemala, and Adelaida García Granados, who was tutor of Petrona Álvarez, wife of General Rafael Carrera, lifelong conservative president of Guatemala. As his family was part of the Aycinena clan, they suffered exile and dispossession of their property by Francisco Morazán in 1829.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: María Josefa García Granados came from an aristocratic family who had traveled to Spain, but decided to return to Guatemala, after the French invasion of the Iberian Peninsula.Her penchant for literature and journalism led her to participate in gatherings, get to know intellectuals and writers and even publish book of different genres. She was the sister of Miguel García Granados and Adelaida García Granados. Best known to her friends and acquaintances as "Pepita", she married Ramón Saborio de la Villa from Nicaragua, with whom she shared marriage until death and bore him six children. She was known for her strong character and authority; because of this, María Josefa had friendships with the most influential men of her time, even before 1821 she was attending famous gatherings at the home of José María Castilla, a priest born in Madrid, Spain.

paragraph: Her brother was also her son-in-law, for it was customary at that time that among upper-class families, there were intermarriages; her brother Miguel married her eldest daughter, Cristina.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: About her literature, Ana María Urruela de Quezada -member of the Guatemalan Language Academy- said that "her literary body of work is historically significant , because her portraits, satirical pieces, and letters were able to portray, without romanticisms those characters and episodes related to the cultural and political elite of that forgone era". To García Granados, poetry was an instrument that she used to leave behind live testimonials of that turbulent time of bitter rivalry between the liberal criollos led by Francisco Morazán and the peasant revolts led by Rafael Carrera and unwillingly supported by the conservative criollos. Poetry allowed her to talk about love and romantic topics, while at the same time, she was able to talk about certain symbolic elements.

paragraph: Rubén Darío in 1887 declared her "the most ingenious woman Central America has produced."

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Poetry.

paragraph: She also wrote and read poetry; among her works are: "A la ceiba de Amatitlán", "Hymn to the Moon" (1830), "The Resolution", "To a Beautiful Girl -- Unfortunately Engaged to an Old Man", "To a Bee", "Plegaria", and "Farewell". She also translated some of Byron's verses and worked on historic poetry.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:"Cien veces una" ("A hundred times one").

paragraph: During Dr. Mariano Galvez tenure as head of the Guatemalan State, some liberals in El Salvador wrote in a newspaper called "Ten times ten"; in turn, García Granados and her friend José Batres Montúfar created a newspaper called "A hundred times one" ("Cien Veces Una").

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: According to what is said by textbooks and critics, there is a legend about Josefa and Montufar's death: both were firm believer in life after death and therefore, they made a pact and agreed that the first one to die would come back and tell whoever was left behind whether there was or not a hell. Allegedly, they made the pact in 1844, a few months before Batres died. It has been said that Batres did come back and told María Josefa: "There is indeed a hell, Pepita!" This would explain why she quit writing in her latest years and withdrew from social life, living instead a very pious life. Four

paragraph: She died four years later, on 28 September 1848. Curiously, she was buried in a tomb separated only by a wall to that of Ignacio Gómez, bitter enemy of García Granados in life.

paragraph: Section::::Additional information.

paragraph: BULLET::::- She was a personal friend of Pedro Molina, José Francisco Barrundia, Dieguez, José Cecilio del Valle, Mariano Gálvez, Cordova, several Aycinena clan members, José Milla y Vidaurre and Rafael Carrera.

paragraph: BULLET::::- She was aunt -and also grandmother- of María García Granados y Saborío, whom the famous Cuban poet José Martí immortalized in his poem of 1891: "La Niña de Guatemala". Because of their similar name, they are often confused, but her niece, although educated, did not have the intellectual capacity of María Josefa.

paragraph: Galeria Valeria

paragraph: Galeria Valeria (died 315) was the daughter of Roman Emperor Diocletian and wife of his co-emperor Galerius.

paragraph: Born as Valeria to Diocletian and Prisca, she married Galerius in 293, when her father elevated him to the position of Caesar. This marriage was clearly organized to strengthen the bonds between the two emperors.

paragraph: Valeria was raised to the title of Augusta and "Mater Castrorum" in November 308. Since Galerius fathered no child with her, Valeria adopted her husband's illegitimate son, Candidianus, as her own.

paragraph: When Galerius died, in 311, Licinius was entrusted with the care of Valeria and her mother Prisca. The two women, however, fled from Licinius to Maximinus Daia, whose daughter was betrothed to Candidianus. After a short time, Valeria refused the marriage proposal of Maximinus, who arrested and confined her in Syria and confiscated her properties. At the death of Maximinus, Licinius ordered the death of both women. Valeria fled, hiding for a year, until she was found in Thessaloniki. She was captured by the mob, beheaded in the central square of the city, and her body thrown in the sea.

paragraph: Valeria was sympathetic towards Christians, while Galerius persecuted them. She was canonized as a Christian saint with her mother (see Saint Alexandra).

paragraph: Mark Eitzel

paragraph: Mark Eitzel (born 30 January 1959) is an American musician, best known as a songwriter and lead singer of the San Francisco band American Music Club.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Eitzel spent his formative years in a military family living in Okinawa, Taiwan, Ohio and the United Kingdom. He moved to America in 1979, and came out as gay in 1985.

paragraph: He started making music while he was a teenager in Southampton, England. His first band was a punk band called the Cowboys when he moved to Columbus, Ohio, at 19. They released one single in 1980. His second band was called The Naked Skinnies and they released one single in 1981. He moved to San Francisco with The Naked Skinnies in 1981 where they disbanded in 1982. Eitzel formed American Music Club (AMC) in San Francisco in 1982. The band performed and created albums for twelve years. At one point, Eitzel also sang with San Francisco's Toiling Midgets, and often recorded solo work while involved in AMC.

paragraph: American Music Club disbanded in 1994, and Eitzel focused on his solo career, releasing "60 Watt Silver Lining" in 1996. It was a surprisingly smooth, jazz-pop departure. Also in 1996, Eitzel contributed to the AIDS benefit album "" produced by the Red Hot Organization. Following this, he released "West" in 1997, co-writing all of the songs with the R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, with whom he also toured. He followed up with "Caught in a Trap and I Can't Back out 'Cause I Love You Too Much, Baby", assisted by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth and the Yo La Tengo bass guitarist James McNew.

paragraph: Eitzel released more music in 2001, beginning with a more electronic turn in "The Invisible Man" on Matador Records. This was followed by two covers projects in 2002: "Music for Courage and Confidence", which was material written by other songwriters, and "The Ugly American", an album which included reinterpretations of American Music Club songs performed with a band of traditional and non traditional Greek musicians.

paragraph: American Music Club reformed in 2003 for a sold out show at the South Bank Centre in London. In the following year, they released "Love Songs For Patriots" and toured both the United States and Europe several times. The album received glowing reviews across the world. In 2008, the band line-up changed again and the band released "The Golden Age" which "Uncut" magazine said was their best since Mercury with a 5 star album of the month review.

paragraph: Eitzel released a compilation album of electronic soundtrack material in 2005, "Candy Ass". In 2009, "Klamath" was released on Decor Records. "Uncut" magazine said it was his best solo album yet. In 2010, the musical "Marine Parade" was premiered in the 2010 Brighton Festival. The musical was written by Simon Stephens and Eitzel wrote all of the music and used two of the songs from "Klamath". It received good reviews. He also contributed a cover version of the Ira Gershwin song "'S Wonderful" to the soundtrack of "Vidal Sassoon - The Movie". The film was directed by Craig Teper, and the soundtrack was produced by David Spelman. The soundtrack also included music by the post-rock chamber ensembles Clogs (featuring Padma Newsome and Bryce Dessner of The National), Redhooker, and the Arcade Fire side project Bell Orchestre. The film had its premiere at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival.

paragraph: In addition to the above albums, Eitzel has also released many mail order tour CDs, his most recent being the limited edition (500 copies) "Brannan St.", which is available at his concert dates and at the Decor records website. His eleventh solo studio album, "Don’t Be a Stranger", was released in October 2012 on Merge Records and produced by Sheldon Gomberg.
