13161723 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picumnus%20%28bird%29 | Picumnus (bird) | Picumnus is a large genus of piculets. With a total length of 8–10 cm (3–4 in), they are among the smallest birds in the woodpecker family. All species are found in the Neotropics except the speckled piculet (Picumnus innominatus) that has a wide distribution in China, India and Southeast Asia.
Species limits in this genus are doubtful, and the rate of interbreeding is "inordinately high" (Remsen et al. 2007). As defined by Winkler and Christie (2002), it contains the 27 species listed below, all from the Neotropics except the speckled piculet, which is Asian (and sometimes placed in a monotypic genus, Vivia).
Their upperparts are brownish, greyish or olive, in some species with darker barring or white or yellowish spotting on the mantle. The underparts vary greatly among the species, ranging from all rich brown in the chestnut piculet, to whitish in the plain-breasted piculet, white with dark bars in the white-barred piculet, and pale yellowish with dark bars on the chest and dark spots and streaks on the belly in the bar-breasted piculet. They have black crowns with red, orange, or yellow marks in the male and white dots in the female, except that the male speckled piculet has brown crown marks and the female lacks white dots. Most have rather short black tails with white stripes down the edges and the center (Blume and Winkler 2003). In two species, the rufous-breasted and the chestnut piculets, the white is largely replaced by rufous.
While the individual species often are habitat specialists (as evident by a number of highly restricted species such as the rusty-necked and ochraceous piculets), members of this genus range from dry Caatinga woodland to humid Amazonian and Atlantic Forest. They are generally found in pairs or small groups. The Neotropical species fall into two broad song groups, with the first having a song consisting of a long trill, and the second a song consisting of series of two or more descending notes.
Taxonomy
The genus Picumnus was introduced in 1825 by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck. He listed three species in the genus but did not specify the type. In 1840 George Gray designated the type as Picumnus minutissimus Temminck, 1825. This is now preoccupied in Picumnus by Picus minutissimus Pallas, 1782. The genus name was coined by Temminck from the French piculet for a little woodpecker.

The genus contains the following 25 species:
Speckled piculet, Picumnus innominatus (or Vivia innominata)

13161732 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus%20Porcius%20Latro | Marcus Porcius Latro | Marcus Porcius Latro (died 4 BC) was a celebrated Roman rhetorician who is considered one of the founders of scholastic rhetoric.
He was born in Roman Spain, and is mentioned often in the works of his friend and contemporary Seneca the Elder, with whom he studied under Marillius.
In 17 BC, Latro declaimed before Augustus and Agrippa. His school was one of the most frequented at Rome, with the poets Ovid and Abronius Silo among its students. Latro is said to have possessed an astonishing memory, and displayed the greatest energy and vehemence, not only in declamation, but also in his studies and other pursuits. He is described as being invariably occupied in speaking, or preparing to speak, and he was considered by some to be the "manliest" of declaimers. He would study constantly and work himself to the point of exhaustion, after which he would restore himself with a holiday in Tuscany of hunting and farming, during which he never touched a book or pen.
It was a peculiarity of Latro's that he would seldom, if ever, listen to his students declaim. They were there to listen and learn, to the declamations of Latro himself, or to his ironical comments on his rivals. His students therefore received the name of auditores ("listeners"), which word came gradually into use as synonymous with discipuli ("learners").
His declaiming style was against unreality, and he avoided the fantastical displays of ingenuity which tempted most speakers on unreal themes. He always tried to find some broad simple issue which would give sufficient field for eloquence instead of trying to raise as many questions as possible.
But great as was the reputation of Latro, he did not escape severe criticism on the part of his contemporaries: his language was censured by Messalla, and the arrangement of his orations by other rhetoricians. Though eminent as a rhetorician, he did not excel as a practical orator; and it is related of him that, when he had on one occasion in Spain to plead in the forum the cause of a relation, he felt so embarrassed by the novelty of speaking in the open air, that he could not proceed until he had induced the judges, through his friend the propraetor of Hither Spain, to remove from the forum into the basilica.
Latro died in 4 BC, as we learn from the Chronicon of Eusebius. Many modern writers suppose that Latro was the author of the Declamations of Sallust against Cicero, and of Cicero against Sallust.

Production
In an interview with IndieWire, director Brian Sloan said, "I wrote a ten page treatment first and from there I started writing the script. It took me about three weeks to get the first draft. I get very nervous sitting at the computer and not doing anything, so I work very fast when I actually sit down to work. Then in the course of three years, I went through ten drafts. The hardest thing about going through ten drafts during that time was to get all the characters to connect. To find a balance between all the couples and to make the different story lines work together." Filming would take place in New Jersey and Washington, D.C.
Reception
I Think I Do grossed $345,478 while in theaters during 1998, only having been released in 10 theaters. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 42% from 31 reviews. In her review, Anita Gates of The New York Times claimed that the film requires "a taste for pointed, topical humor and a particular brand of clever conversation" and that "The characters are uniformly funny and sympathetic, and you want all of them to find the right person and be happy."

13161814 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyticeros | Rhyticeros | Rhyticeros is a genus of medium to large hornbills (family Bucerotidae) found in forests from Southeast Asia to the Solomons. They are sometimes included in the genus Aceros. On the other hand, most species generally placed in Aceros are sometimes moved to Rhyticeros, leaving Aceros as a monotypic genus only containing the rufous-necked hornbill.
All species generally placed in Rhyticeros have relatively low, conspicuously wreathed casques and a mainly dull whitish horn-colored bill. Both sexes have mainly black plumage, but the head and neck of the males are white or rufous. The tail is white except in the black-tailed Sumba hornbill. They have conspicuous inflatable skin on the throat, which is blue in all except the males of the plain-pouched and wreathed hornbills, where it is yellow.
Species
The following six species are placed in the genus:
An undescribed extinct hornbill species from Lifou in the Loyalty Islands, living until at least some 30,000 years ago, was initially placed in Aceros, but its biogeography places it with the species now in Rhyticeros (Steadman, 2006).

13161819 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dy%C5%8D%20Mitsunobu | Tōyō Mitsunobu | was a captain of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Mitunobu worked in the Japanese naval command in China.
Biography
He attended secondary school in Osaka and then the Japanese Imperial Navy Academy graduating in 1919. He later entered active service in the Japanese navy. In 1929 he was transferred to the command of the imperial fleet.
In 1934 he was part of the staff of Isoroku Yamamoto during the preparation of the Japanese delegation for the London naval conference in which he participated as an attendant. He was probably chosen as a participant because he was aware of the European mentality with which he had become familiar as early as the 1930s when he was a naval attache at the Japanese Embassy in Paris. Following this, he participated as a ship's officer in the Second Japanese-Chinese War.
During the later stages of World War II Mitunobu was posted to Italy as a naval attaché to the Japanese embassy. There he contributed to an Italian propaganda magazine, Yamato, which was started in 1941 to improve the political alliance of Italy and Japan. According to some sources, he is also pursued secret service duties and held the role of deputy secret service chief for the Mediterranean of the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
On 8 June 1944 Mitunobu was travelling to Merano for a naval conference of the Axis governments, together with his assistant head Yamanaka. In Pianosinatico (close to Abetone pass) along the Gothic Line, his car was stopped by Italian partisans, commanded by Manrico "Pippo" Ducceschi, and was killed as he tried to escape. Important documents concerning the War in the Pacific were found, which helped to enable the United States and the Allies in their later manoeuvers. He was buried in Königstein. His remain was brought back to Japan in 1994.
His son Oyo Mitsunobu (1934–2003) was a chemist and discovered the Mitsunobu reaction.

13161836 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klipfolio%20Inc. | Klipfolio Inc. | Klipfolio Inc., is a Canadian software company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. The company initially focused on the consumer market, and later moved into the dashboard and business intelligence space. On Feb 25, 2015 they announced a series A round of $6.2 million and in 2017 they raised $12M Series B Funding.
Products
Klipfolio offers an online dashboard platform for building real-time business dashboards. It allows business users to connect to many data services, automate data retrieval, and then manipulate, and visualize the data. Klipfolio uses a schema-less architecture that allows non-technical end users to more easily connect to data sources, and separates data from presentation to more efficiently use and reuse data sources throughout the platform.
Klipfolio has built-in formula editing, allowing end-users to transform, combine, slice, and filter any data before visualizing it. Users are able to access the dashboard from their desktop, tablet, TV, and mobile phone, and share it with colleagues by granting access to the dashboard, or by scheduling email reports.
History
Serence is the former name of the Canadian corporation, which was formed in 2001 when Allan Wille (CEO) and Peter Matthews (chief experience officer – CXO) pursued their vision of a simple application that assembles current information from multiple sources into a single, consistent, and coherent presentation format. Wille and Matthews were joined by James Scott (CTO).
The first version of Klipfolio Dashboard appeared later that year as a desktop application. As an early RSS reader, it used the technology to populate various "Klips".
In 2002, the application evolved to include a JavaScript-based semantic markup language which created relationships among disparate bits of data, presented data more consistently, and allowed a developer to create and modify Klips. Additionally, the company adopted a clean design philosophy. Some of the technology used for "Klips" was patented.
To avoid various integration and performance challenges associated with off-the-shelf code, the research and development team opted for proprietary internal systems including an XML parser, HTTP stack and novel CSS-based matching architecture. These developments were all designed to fit within a core code package less than 500 KB.
By 2007, the company's primary focus had shifted to the operational business intelligence market. For enterprise, Klipfolio Dashboard is used to increase the visibility of business-critical information of key performance indicators (KPI) from different corporate databases and applications.
In 2008, Serence rebranded the company as Klipfolio Inc. to take advantage of brand recognition of Klipfolio Dashboard in the marketplace. The move reflected an increased emphasis by the firm on the enterprise or business dashboard market.
In late 2011, Klipfolio launched Klipfolio Dashboard as a cloud-hosted service.
In January 2017, Klipfolio successfully raised $12 million CDN in a Series B funding round. This investment was led by OMERS Ventures, with participation from all investors from Klipfolio's 2015 Series A and 2014 seed rounds. This funding brought the company's total funding to $19.4 million. The capital infusion aimed to fuel the company's growth, focusing on enhancing its cloud-based dashboard capabilities and expanding its customer base, which had doubled annually since its first round of funding. By this time, Klipfolio was serving over 7,000 customers globally and planned to use the new funds to invest in product development, build new mobile experiences, and deliver a variety of pre-built visualizations and dashboards.

13161951 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish%20poor%20laws | Irish poor laws | The Irish poor laws were a series of acts of Parliament intended to address social instability due to widespread and persistent poverty in Ireland. While some legislation had been introduced by the pre-Union Parliament of Ireland prior to the Act of Union, the most radical and comprehensive attempt was the Poor Relief (Ireland) Act 1838 (1 & 2 Vict. c. 56), closely modelled on the English Poor Law Amendment Act 1834. In England, this replaced Elizabethan era legislation which had no equivalent in Ireland.
Pre-Union
In 1703, the Irish Parliament passed an act, 2 Anne c. 19 (I), for "Providing the erection of a workhouse and for the maintenance and apprenticing out of foundling children" establishing the House of Industry in Dublin.
By 1771, there were Houses of Industry in every county and by 1833, the total cost was £32,967.
Post-Union
Until 1838, the use of 'Houses of industry' was on a much smaller scale than in England and Wales.
Poor law unions
The report of the Royal Commission on the Poorer Classes in Ireland 1833 led to the Poor Relief (Ireland) Act 1838 (1 & 2 Vict. c. 56), under which three "poor law commissioners" divided Ireland into poor law unions, in which paupers would receive poor relief (either workhouse or outdoor relief) paid for by a poor rate based on a "poor law valuation". The name "union" was retained from the English "union of parishes" model although the Irish union boundaries diverged greatly from those of the civil parishes. A union was named after the town on which it was centred, where its workhouse was located. Unions were defined as groups of poor law electoral divisions, in turn defined as groups of townlands. Electoral divisions returned members to the board of guardians, with voters who paid higher rates having more votes. During and after the Great Famine, boundaries in the impoverished west were redrawn to create more and smaller union for easier administration. When the Irish General Register Office was established in 1864, each union became a superintendent registrar's district, with groups of electoral divisions forming a dispensary or registrar's district. The Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 divided administrative counties into urban and rural districts, with each rural district corresponding to the non-urban portion of a poor law union within the county.
Emigration
During the Great Famine, workhouses became so overwhelmed that large numbers of paupers were assisted to emigrate. This had the effect of permitting more to enter the workhouse in the hope of escaping starvation and disease. In response, Guardian-assisted emigration was reserved only for those who had received indoor relief for over two years.
After partition
Following the Partition of Ireland, in the independent Irish Free State, poor law unions and rural districts were abolished in 1925 and the powers of boards of guardians transferred to the county councils' County Boards of Health or County Boards of Public Assistance.
In Northern Ireland, poor law unions survived until the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Service in 1948.

Both artists retain their pen names when working on solo projects.
Their music has been described as exceptionally irreverent and humorous and though experimental in nature, with heavy glitch influences, never pretentious and always rhythmic.

13161965 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaan%20Laaman | Jaan Laaman | Jaan Karl Laaman (born March 21, 1948) is an Estonia-born American political activist, most known for his conviction and imprisonment related to various charges including a 1982 attempted murder of a police officer. He was a member of the United Freedom Front.
Laaman grew up in Roxbury, Massachusetts and Buffalo, New York. His family emigrated to the United States from Estonia when he was a child. He had a son who died in 2011.
Laaman served a major portion of a 53-year prison sentence for his role in the bombings of United States government buildings while a member of the United Freedom Front, an American leftist group in the 1980s.
In the 1960s, Laaman worked in Students for a Democratic Society and community organizations and advocated against the Vietnam War and racism. As a student at the University of New Hampshire, he was a leader in the SDS. He was also a leader in the student strike in May 1970 in reaction to the bombing of Cambodia and the killing of six students during protests at Kent State University and Jackson State College.
He facilitated youth development in the Black Panther Party and the Puerto Rican Young Lords street gang. In 1972, he was arrested and charged with bombing a Richard Nixon re-election headquarters building and a police station in New Hampshire and was sentenced to 20 years. However, he was released in 1978. In 1979, he and Kazi Toure helped to organize the Amandla Festival of Unity to support an end to apartheid in Southern Africa, which featured musician Bob Marley.
He was eventually caught with several other members of the United Freedom Front, referred to as the Ohio 7, including leader Tom Manning, in 1984. While originally charged with seditious conspiracy, Laaman was found guilty of five bombings, one attempted bombing, and criminal conspiracy, and sentenced to 53 years in prison.
In 1977, an important New Hampshire State Supreme Court case was won by Laaman. Raymond Helgemoe was the warden of the New Hampshire State Prison. Laaman sued to receive reading material which he was refused. Helgemoe claimed that the material was radical, seditious, and even included bomb-making instructions. The New Hampshire Supreme Court, in a decision written by Hugh Bownes, decided in favor of Laaman, and this case eventually was used as a justification for offering college-level education in New Hampshire prisons for the first time.
Laaman was released on May 15, 2021.

Geography
The rivers are the Zapardiel River [es], a tributary of the Douro (Duero) and Valtodano [es], a tributary of the Zapardiel. Camilo José Cela, in his book Jews, Moors and Christians , narrates a trip he made through the lands of Segovia and Ávila, between 1946 and 1952. One of the places he passed through was Barromán.
According to popular tradition, the place name is a contraction of the word "Lugar de Román" in old Castilian. It was incorporated into Castile and repopulated by Castilian settlers in the 11th century , with no known settlement prior to the reconquest, although remains of Roman buildings have been found in two nearby municipalities (Palacios de Goda and Bercial de Zapardiel) that probably continued to be used in Visigothic times and were finally abandoned after the Islamic invasion.
Heritage
Church of the Assumption, in Mudejar style (apse-tower) from the 12th or 13th centuries, possibly the remains of a castle or a watchtower, and main nave from the 16th century. The entire church is built on a gentle hill or mound from which it dominates almost the entire town.

13162023 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter%20Thorup | Peter Thorup | Peter Eiberg Thorup (14 December 1948 – 3 August 2007) was a Danish guitarist, singer, composer and record producer. He was one of the most important blues musicians in Denmark, and he was known outside his own country, when in the late 1960s he met Alexis Korner and the two formed the bands New Church, The Beefeaters, CCS, and later Snape.
Career
Thorup played at the age of 18 in the Danish band, Beefeaters, and he met Korner on his concert tour in Scandinavia. They formed New Church, and then in 1970 CCS around Korner and Thorup, the rest of the line-up was rather loose and depended on the availability in the schedules of many musicians. Frequent performers within the band included Tony Carr (drums), trumpeter Harold Beckett, Herbie Flowers on bass guitar, Henry Lowther (trumpet) and Harold McNair with woodwind instruments. They were among the first groups to record on Mickie Most's RAK Records and John Cameron arranged their albums. They had several hit singles, commencing with a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love", which was used as the theme for BBC Television's Top Of The Pops.
Their music was characterised by Korner's growling vocals and Thorup's higher tones. They split in 1973 to create a band, Snape, that Korner and Thorup formed when on tour with King Crimson in the United States. King Crimson members Boz Burrell, Mel Collins, and Ian Wallace left Robert Fripp in New Orleans to continue on tour with Korner. Thorup appeared on Korner's 1972 studio album Accidentally Born in New Orleans. A live album from this band was released in Germany. During this period, Thorup frequented London's nightclubs, performing with Korner and Colin Hodgkinson on bass.
In 1976, Thorup returned to Denmark to work with Danish musicians including Sebastian.
Thorup mostly played rock or blues, but he also got a local pop hit, recording a Danish version of Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's "Islands in the Stream" with Anne Grete in 1984. In the last couple of decades of his life he lived a quiet life, playing small concerts in Denmark and recording a few albums.

13162059 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%20Michael%20Lennon | J. Michael Lennon | J. Michael Lennon is an American academic and writer who is the Emeritus Professor of English at Wilkes University and the late Norman Mailer’s archivist and authorized biographer. He published Mailer's official biography Norman Mailer: A Double Life in 2013. He edited Mailer's selected letters in 2014 and the Library of America's two-volume set Norman Mailer: The Sixties in 2018.
Early life
Lennon, a native of Cape Cod, grew up in Somerset, Massachusetts.
He graduated from Stonehill College, a Catholic school south of Boston, in 1963 and became a U.S. Navy officer during the Vietnam War. After sea duty on the USS Uvalde for 30 months, he taught military law and history at Naval O.C.S. Newport in the late 1960s. He served five years on active duty (1964-1968).
He first encountered the work on Norman Mailer when he read The Naked and the Dead as a fifteen-year-old: "The language was uninhibited, the sexual descriptions, the descriptions of war. ... It's really an odyssey of suffering."
He earned his M.A. (1969) and Ph.D. (1975) in English at the University of Rhode Island, where he began his scholarly work on Mailer in the classes of Dr. Nancy Potter, who directed his dissertation on Mailer's Armies of the Night.
Lennon and Mailer
While working on his dissertation in 1971, Lennon watched Gore Vidal and Mailer's altercation on The Dick Cavett Show. Lennon wrote a letter of support to Mailer who then invited Lennon to hear him speak. Afterward, they met at a bar and began their long friendship and collaboration. Mailer enjoyed the Irish "bravura" and sense of humor, so he took an immediate liking to Lennon.
Lennon and his wife Donna and their sons became friendly with Mailer's family, including all nine children, and his sister Barbara Wasserman and her son Peter Alson, and enjoyed regular visits in the summers. Lennon became Mailer's literary executor in 1981 and proposed a collection of Mailer's essays and interviews which became the 1982 collection, Pieces and Pontifications, which Lennon edited.
Mailer would later add: "Sometimes I think Mike Lennon and I were as designed for each other as some species of American Yin and Yang, as hot dogs, perhaps, and mustard. His talents, his discipline, and his ambition form a complement to all the slacks, voids, and indolences of my nature."
In 1988, Lennon edited Conversations with Norman Mailer, a collection of 34 of his interviews and a key source for those writing about Mailer. By this time, Mailer had begun sharing drafts of his books with Lennon, who began assembling a collection of his books, his uncollected reviews, essays, poems and letters to the editor, and everything in print he could find about Mailer.
At Lennon's suggestion, in 1994 the Mailer papers, previously housed in Manhattan, were moved to a large professional storage facility in Pennsylvania. This arrangement made it more convenient for Lennon and Mailer's current biographer and archivist Robert F. Lucid to have access. Lennon and his wife began to re-organize the papers, sifting and sorting through 500 cubic feet of paper. This led to work on a comprehensive annotated listing of Mailer's writings, and those about him. Norman Mailer: Works and Days, compiled by the Lennons, was published in 2000, with a preface from Mailer, and is the standard Mailer bibliography. Three years earlier, Lennon and Lucid assisted Mailer in putting together a mammoth collection of his writings, The Time of Our Time. Mailer's archive found its permanent home at the University of Texas' Harry Ransom Center in 2005. Lennon helped broker this $2.5 million deal.
In 2000, Lennon began the task of reading and selecting Mailer's letters. It took him almost three years to read all 45,000 letters (25 million words), and he remains the only person, save Mailer, who has read them all. Since Mailer was open and frank in his letters, Lennon explains to Sipiora, they became the most important sources for the biography.
In 1997, the Lennons purchased a condo in Provincetown a short walk from the Mailer house, and spent weekends and summers there. The Lennons often played Texas Hold'em with Mailer, enjoying the play, friendly banter, and Jameson's. In Mailer's later years, the Lennon's would become honorary members of the Mailer family.
In 2003, a volume of Mailer's insights on writing, The Spooky Art, was published, edited by Lennon. It contains excerpts from previously published items by Mailer, excerpts from interviews Mailer had given, and fifty original pieces written for the book.
When Lucid died unexpectedly in December 2006, Lennon, always Lucid's understudy, took over as authorized biographer—what he called "a comfortable job" after their 35-year acquaintance. A year later Mailer died. Lennon, Lawrence Schiller and Mailer's widow, Norris Church Mailer, produced the memorial to Mailer at Carnegie Hall in the spring of 2008.
In 2008, Lennon signed a contract with Simon and Schuster for the biography. He also entered into an agreement with the Mailer Estate granting him full access to the Mailer letters and unpublished manuscripts. Lennon and his wife moved full-time to their condo in Provincetown where Mailer had begun writing his final novel, The Castle in the Forest (2007), in fall of 2000.
Lennon had kept extended notes on Mailer's table talk, and also interviewed him on many aspects of his public and private life. Lennon's unpublished "Mailer Log," his record of Mailer's last three years, runs to 150,000 words. The summer before Mailer died, he and Lennon completed work on a series of interviews on Mailer's theological ideas and theories. The ten long discussions were published as On God: An Uncommon Conversation just days before Mailer died.
Over the next four years Lennon interviewed 86 people, including his ex-wives, children, cousins, sister, nephew, and many close personal and literary friends, including Don DeLillo, Gay Talese, Robert Silvers, Barbara Probst Solomon, David Ebershoff, Ivan Fisher, Eileen Fredrikson, Lois Wilson, Carol Holmes, Tina Brown, Harry Evans, James Toback, Nan Talese, Dotson Rader, Doris and Dick Goodwin, William Kennedy, Richard Stratton, Mickey Knox, and Lawrence Schiller, Mailer's most important collaborator. Schiller gave Lennon access to all of his interviews with Lawrence Grobel which became important for understanding the Schiller-Mailer relationship.
Schiller also enlisted Lennon to edit four new editions of Mailer books, including The Fight, Marilyn, and Of a Fire on the Moon for Taschen books. The Lennons made several month-long visits to the Mailer archives in Texas, in 2008 and 2009, and in the fall of 2009, he began writing, breaking his daily routine only to conduct interviews. At the end of October 2012, after six years of writing and research, he submitted the biography to Simon and Schuster.
In 2018, Lennon was criticized for asserting in an interview that Mailer "was never accused of hurting any women", before being reminded by the interviewer that Mailer had stabbed his wife.
Academic life
Lennon got his first teaching job at the University of Illinois at Springfield in 1972. Lennon moved into academic administration in the late 1970s, and became publisher of Illinois Issues magazine, and the director of what is now WUIS-FM. These and other units (a public TV station and small press later on) were eventually combined into the University's Institute of Public Affairs, and he became its first executive director in 1988. He continued to teach and assisted University of Pennsylvania professor, Robert F. Lucid, then Mailer's authorized biographer and archivist. In 1992, Lennon was appointed Vice President for Academic Affairs at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
While at Wilkes, Lennon also served as co-director of the Wilkes University low-residency MA/MFA in Creative Writing, a program which he founded in 2004, along with current Program Director Bonnie Culver. In 2000 after nine years on the job, Lennon stepped down from the V.P. position. He moved to the English Department which he chaired for two years. He is Emeritus Vice President for Academic Affairs and Emeritus Professor of English at Wilkes University. He continues to teach in the Wilkes M.F.A. Program and The Mailer Colony, and serves on the advisory boards of both. He served from 2005-2007 as a literary consultant at the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin, where he assisted in the cataloging of Mailer's papers, and was a Fellow there in 2009.
Research and publications
Norman Mailer: A Double Life was published on October 15, 2013, seven years after Lennon took the mantle from Lucid.
Lennon based his 320,000-word biography primarily on Mailer's prodigious epistolary output and a series of over-200 interviews with family, friends, and collaborators of Mailer's.
Early on, Mailer granted a score of interviews with Lennon and encouraged him to "put everything in," warts and all, censoring nothing.
Lennon chose the title Double Life because he saw that Mailer had two minds about most anything of consequence, reflecting his belief that everyone's psyche has two separate personalities.
"Every identity that he had—and he had dozens of identities, occupations and avatars, whether he was playing author, playwright, politician or raconteur—always had another half to it", Lennon states. "I think part of it was because he was always interested in 'The Other,' the minority of good in evil people and the minority of evil in good people. He was always looking for that minority that would help define and give personality to other people".
An aspect of Mailer's double life also includes his being born between two generations: one as part of the post-World War II writers like James Jones and the other as participant of the sixties' New Journalism.
Lennon's challenge included adding as much information about Mailer's private life as he did about Mailer's well-known public exploits.
"Mailer knew me as an archivist and a bibliographer and a fact fetishist who collected the bits of his life and work", Lennon says; "I really tried to bring in material that no one had ever seen before, and God knows I had plenty of it".
Reviews of A Double Life have been mostly positive and enthusiastic.
O'Hagan states that "Lennon often puts his finger on the kind of detail that makes sense of Mailer's character" and "Lennon's biography is dense with careful detail" presenting "more of Mailer than we’ve had from anyone other than Mailer".
French calls it "a riveting blow-by-blow account of a vigorous life", and Elliott avers that Lennon "does an admirable job of allowing Mailer's various iterations of himself to emerge without judgment or apology".
Elliott calls Double Life an "excellent academic resource with over 100 pages of endnotes—a treasure for literary scholars" that is "enlightening, lively, and a pleasure to read, it is almost certain to become the standard Mailer biography".
LaRoche suggests that DL "may be the definitive biography of one of the most important writers of the second half of the 20th century." Moore adds that the biography is a "behemoth of appropriate scope to frame a man who led a big life," and Pritchard writes that DL "won't be improved upon" as it "is a feat [Lennon] performs with care and without pomposity." Margulies writes of A Double Life: "Lennon manages to resist inserting a personal agenda into the biography and, as such, it reads as a rare and true portrait of the writer, who insisted that his biographer 'put everything in'".
In 2014, Lennon published a volume of Mailer's letters in The Selected Letters of Norman Mailer. Including 714 letters, this volume published by Random House includes an introduction, 90 pages of notes, and a bibliography. It's a comprehensive volume of letters spanning 1940–2007, giving readers a glimpse into Mailer's dressing room. It includes letters to celebrities like James Baldwin, Saul Bellow, Jorge Luis Borges, Fidel Castro, Martin Luther King Jr., Kate Millett, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and also personal missives to fans, critics, editors, friends, family and ordinary people. Dwight Gardner calls it a collection of "mostly minor gleanings from a major writer" that, however, has "umpteen pleasures to pluck out and roll between your teeth, like seeds from a pomegranate". It's a "scintillating read," reviews John Winters, that gives readers a glimpse into Mailer's "extraordinary candor". John R. Coyne opines that Selected Letters is a "well-written and thoughtful study so comprehensive that it seemed to obviate the need for any further biographical data," and Ronald Fried states that his letters shows Mailer's almost innocent notion that he could make the world better and they emerge "as essential to the work that would become his indelible contribution to America literature."
Norman Mailer: Works and Days (2000) received a Choice magazine award for "outstanding scholarly title" in 2001, and has recently been expanded for a digital humanities project and a new edition, published by the Norman Mailer Society. Books he has edited include Critical Essays on Norman Mailer (1986), Conversations with Norman Mailer (1988), The James Jones Reader (1991, with James Giles), The Spooky Art: Some Thoughts on Writing (2003), and Norman Mailer’s Letters on An American Dream, 1963-69 (2004). His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The Mailer Review, James Jones Literary Society Journal, Playboy, Creative Nonfiction, New York, Modern Fiction Studies, Modern Language Studies, The Chicago Tribune, Narrative, and The Journal of Modern Literature, among others. He co-authored with Mailer On God: An Uncommon Conversation (2007). Most recently, he edited Moonfire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11 (Taschen 2009), an abridged version of Mailer's 1971 narrative, Of a Fire on the Moon, with hundreds of NASA photographs; and Norman Mailer/Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe (Taschen 2011).
Lennon also wrote about James Jones and edited (with James Giles) a collection of Jones' war writings, The James Jones Reader in 1991. He also co-produced (with Jeffrey Davis) a 1985 PBS documentary on Jones, James Jones: From Reveille to Taps, in which Mailer gave a key interview. Lennon and Davis assembled a 1987 piece on Jones for The Paris Review titled “Glimpses: James Jones, 1921-1977,” drawn from the documentary.
Lennon, along with co-author Donna Pedro Lennon and editor Gerald R. Lucas, won the Robert F. Lucid Award for Mailer Studies in 2019 for the revised edition of Norman Mailer: Works and Days.

13162074 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%20Townsend%20%28soldier%29 | Richard Townsend (soldier) | Richard Townesend (as he spelt his name) was a soldier and politician in England. He was born in 1618 or 1619. Much research has been undertaken by various members of the Townsend family to trace Richard's origins but nothing is known about him before 1643 when he was appointed to command a company, as a captain, in Colonel Ceely's Regiment, which had been raised to garrison Lyme Regis. Richard was engaged in several skirmishes, most notably on 3 March 1643 when he surprised and routed 150 Royalist cavalry at Bridport. Later, he was present during the defence of Lyme Regis 20 April – 13 June 1644 where he distinguished himself and was promoted to Major ("he was shot in the head but still lives"). In 1645 he assumed command of Colonel Ceely's Regt when Colonel Ceely was returned to Parliament as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bridport.
Richard took part in the siege of Pendennis Castle in August 1646 and afterwards wrote to Colonel Ceely to report on the siege and "to receive directions how to dispose of the regiment, and positively what employment and future maintenance we may expect". This letter is preserved in the Tanner MS in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Following the siege, Richard was made Colonel of a regiment of 1000 men, raised for service in Ireland, with Robert Phayre as his Lieutenant Colonel and they remained camped near Bath until 19 June 1647 when Parliament ordered that "Colonel Townesend and his regiment ... be transported to Ireland" to join the Parliamentary Army in Ireland under the command of Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin.
Ireland
On 13 November 1647, Richard commanded the main body of the infantry at the Battle of Knocknanauss, near Mallow under Lord Inchiquin against the Irish army led by Theobald Taaffe, 1st Earl of Carlingford. Subsequently, Richard and others, in dire need of fresh supplies, joined with Lord Inchiquin in a Declaration of Remonstrance, which was submitted to Parliament in early 1648. Shortly after this Lord Inchiquin renounced his allegiance to the English Parliament and joined forces with Lord Taaff. Richard and several other officers disagreed with this and there followed a period of complex political and military intrigue during which loyalties to the Parliamentary cause and the Royalists were in a state of flux.
The execution of Charles I on 30 January 1649 united all the factions in Ireland against Cromwell, but Richard and a number of other officers in Inchiquin's army (notably Colonel Gifford and Colonel Warden) were unable "to endure the thought of joining with the Irish against their own countrymen" and declared for Cromwell, who, having suppressed the uprisings in Kent, Wales and Scotland, was now in Ireland and marching on Munster. As Richard and the other Colonels were preparing Youghal to receive Cromwell, they were betrayed to Lord Inchiquin who arrested and imprisoned them in Cork. They were freed when the garrison in the town rose up in support of Cromwell on 16 October 1649, Later that month the 'Protestant Army of Munster' based in Cork drew up a Resolution to send to Cromwell pleading that they had been forced by Lord Inchiquin to serve the Irish cause. The first signature on the Resolution is that of Richard and Cromwell, on 14 November 1649, wrote to Speaker Lenthall that Colonel Townesend had been "an active instrument for the return of both Cork and Youghal to their obedience".
Post-military life
Richard retired from service sometime before 1654 and made extensive purchases of land; in all about . Following the restoration of Charles II in 1666 he was pardoned and hence escaped the forfeitures placed on many Cromwellian soldiers. His purchases of land were subsequently confirmed by royal patents in 1666, 1668 and 1680. He lived for a time at Kilbrittain Castle, near Courtmacsherry before finally settling at Castletown in about 1665. Castletown later came to be called Castle Townsend and from about 1870 Castletownshend.
Richard was elected MP for Baltimore in the Irish Parliament, which met at Chichester House, Dublin in 1661. His appearances in the Parliament were infrequent and he was fined for non-attendance.
In 1666, under threat of invasion by the French, the Duke of Ormonde, at the insistence of the Earl of Orrery, appointed Richard Commander of Militia in County Cork. Subsequently, he was appointed High Sheriff of County Cork on 12 March 1671 and Sovereign of Clonakilty on 18 October 1685. From the time that he moved from Kilbrittain Castle to Castletownshend until his death Richard sought to consolidate his estates in West Carberry and to lead the settled life of a landowner. However, these were unsettled times, particularly after the accession of James II in 1685, and Richard was frequently engaged in various armed skirmishes with Irish rebels. In 1690, under the command of Colonel O'Driscol, the rebels unsuccessfully besieged Castletownshend but soon after it was attacked again by about 500 of them led by MacFineen O'Driscoll and Richard was forced to surrender. He was subsequently paid £40,000 in compensation for the destruction of his home.
Richard signed his will on 21 June 1692 "being sick in body but in perfect sense and disposing memory". He died on 26 September 1692 and was buried in the old churchyard at Castlehaven; his tomb lies in the chancel of the old church and is marked by a slab bearing the words 'This is the burial place of the Townesends'.
It has always been the belief that Richard's first wife, Hildegardis Hyde, was a close kinswoman of Lord Clarendon; if this is correct it might help to explain how Richard's life and lands were spared during these troubled times when many of his friends and acquaintances fared very badly. The surname of Richard's second wife cannot be confirmed but there are good reasons to believe it to be Kingston; the Kingston family were settled near Bandon and Richard named his fifth son Kingston.
Richard had a large family of which there were seven surviving sons. Of these, it is only through his son Colonel Bryan Townsend that survivors in the male line exist today.

13162100 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish%20poor%20laws | Scottish poor laws | The Scottish poor laws were the statutes concerning poor relief passed in Scotland between 1579 and 1929. Scotland had a different poor law system to England and the workings of the Scottish laws differed greatly to the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 which applied in England and Wales.
In 1579, the Scottish Parliament passed an act which made individual parishes responsible for enumerating their own poor. More than merely enumerate, the purpose of the law was an "inquisition" into the circumstances of the individual poverty, so as to determine whether the poor were able to work, whether they had any other means of subsistence, and whether there were other persons, family or others, who might assist them. The laws at that time codified the need to assist the poor—but at the same time as outlawing what were apparently considered public nuisances: begging and vagrancy. In 1595, Buttock Mail, a Scottish poor rate began to be levied. There was further legislation in 1597 which made the parishes rather than the church responsible for the administration of poor relief. In 1672, magistrates were ordered to build correction houses or workhouses so that beggars could be made to work. In most of Scotland no Poor Rate (local property tax for the relief of the poor) was levied under the old system.
In 1843, a commission of inquiry was set up to suggest improvements to the Scottish poor law system. Proposals suggested included:
Setting up a board of supervision and parochial boards
The levying of a poor rate
Joint poorhouses in urban areas
An Inspector of the Poor who could examine requests for relief.
Scottish Poor Law Act
After the Act of Union, Scotland retained its distinct legal system and the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 was not applied to Scotland. As in England, it was necessary to reform the poor laws. A commission of inquiry was established in 1843 to determine system reform. This resulted in the Poor Law (Scotland) Act 1845 being passed. This act established parochial boards in parishes and towns and a central Board of Supervision in Edinburgh.
In Scotland the able-bodied poor had no automatic right to poor relief as in England. The Poor Law (Scotland) Act 1845 created a central Board of Supervision which had the ability to raise local taxes to cover poor relief costs. Unlike in England, the Scottish pauper had a legal right to appeal if they were denied poor relief. Outdoor relief was common; however, mismanagement of the system meant that a more restricted system after 1868 which relied more on the poorhouse.
The Archives and Special Collections at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow hold more than 1,000,000 applications for poor relief made by residents of Glasgow and the west of Scotland. These records can prove extremely useful for the family historian, and contain detailed notes and information about the applicants, their families and life.

13162108 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavenbaby | Shavenbaby | The shavenbaby (svb) or ovo gene encodes a transcription factor in Drosophila responsible for inducing cells to become hair-like projections called trichomes or microtrichia. Many of the major developmental signaling pathways converge at the shavenbaby locus, which then regulates over 150 downstream target genes. The "hourglass" shape of this gene regulatory network makes shavenbaby the master regulator of trichome formation. The unique setup of the gene regulatory network made trichomes an excellent readout to identify important developmental genes during the forward genetics Heidelberg Screen. Additionally, shavenbaby is considered to be an "evolutionary hotspot", and experiments have shown that changes in this gene cause the loss of dorsal cuticular hairs in Drosophila sechellia larvae.
Trichomes likely serve a variety of purposes. In larvae, trichomes likely help with larval locomotion. By alternating between bands of trichomes and naked cuticle, larvae can tread across different surfaces. Additionally, trichomes may contribute to hydrophobicity and even stabilize adult flight.
Transcriptional inputs for svb
The shavenbaby locus is regulated by multiple signaling pathways, including the HOX factors, Wingless, EGF-R, Hedgehog, and Notch signaling. Additionally, the transcription factors SoxNeuro, Pointed, and Dichaete regulate shavenbaby expression.
Engrailed and Hedgehog activate EGFR
During stage 12 of embryonic development, Engrailed is expressed in a subset of cells, which activates the hedgehog signaling pathway. The Hedgehog signal is received by cells expressing Patched, which induces expression of rhomboid (rho) with Serrate-Notch signaling, which activates the EGFR signaling pathway. The drosophila EGF receptor (DER) is responsible for activating shavenbaby both directly and by driving expression of the factors SoxNeuro and Dichaete. Other transcription factors such as Ultrabithorax and its cofactor Homothorax also interact with the different shavenbaby enhancers to activate expression.
Wingless signaling represses shavenbaby
During stage 12, the Hedgehog signaling pathway induces expression of the Wingless signal. The Wingless signaling pathway is responsible for repressing shavenbaby activity, and cells expressing Wingless have naked cuticle. Furthermore, mutations to the Wingless gene produce a lawn of trichomes in the naked region. Wingless signaling has been characterized to specifically integrate at the shavenbaby E3 enhancer, which also produces a lawn of expression in Wingless mutants. Wingless signaling is repressed by both SoxNeuro and Dichaete, products of the EGFR signaling pathway.
Developmental enhancers of svb
Developmental enhancers are DNA sequences which control the spatial-temporal patterning of genes during development to set up the bodyplan of an organism. Developmental enhancers are thought to be the main drivers of phenotypic evolution. There are currently seven putative developmental enhancers in the shavenbaby locus: DG2, DG3, Z1.3, A, E3, E6, and 7H. All of these enhancers are pleiotropic, expressing shavenbaby across different developmental stages. The enhancers are somewhat modular, where different patterning components are partitioned to different enhancers. However, many of the expression patterns overlap with each other making the enhancers seemingly redundant.
Enhancer redundancy is a commonly observed phenomenon. Why would evolution evolve redundant enhancers? The mystery of enhancer redundancy was partially resolved by studying the shavenbaby locus in 2010. Frankel et al. found that the redundant enhancers help maintain proper shavenbaby expression under different temperature stresses, canalizing its expression. This finding was also observed eight years later for redundant mammalian enhancers, suggesting that this observation is not limited to Drosophila. Redundant enhancers have also been observed to use different transcription factors, incorporating a diverse set of signaling inputs to canalize gene expression under different environmental stresses.
The E3 enhancer
The E3 enhancer is a 1,042 base-pair (bp) enhancer which drives shavenbaby on the ventral side of stages 15 and 16+ embryos and larvae. E3 is also expressed pleiotropically in the pharynx and esophagus or third-instar larvae. In adult Drosophila, E3 is expressed in the abdomen, head, legs, and wing. The E3 fragment has been tested as smaller fragments such as E3-14 and E3N. Unlike the other shavenbaby enhancers, E3 activity is maintained in Drosophila sechellia.
E3N was first described in Crocker et al., 2015, and was found to encode "homotypic clusters" of binding sites for the transcription factor: Ultrabithorax (Ubx). These binding sites, however, were non-canonical, and Ubx binds to E3N at a very low-affinity. Mutations to increase the affinity of these binding sites caused the ectopic binding of other Homeobox (HOX) factors, resulting in ectopic enhancer expression. HOX factors license the identity of cells, locking them into a fate to produce a particular structure such as wings, halteres, antennae, abdomen, etc. All of the HOX factors are evolutionarily related, and bind to the same homeodomain sequence: TAAT. How enhancers encode the specific binding of certain HOX factors and prevent the ectopic binding of others is called the "Hox Paradox". The E3N study from Crocker et al., 2015 provided an answer to the "Hox Paradox", by suggesting that low-affinity binding sites would provide the specificity, and encoding clusters of the sites would account for the potential weak activation. Low-affinity transcription factor binding sites have also been observed in other enhancers.
In a follow-up study, Fuqua et al. created a library of random mutants to the E3N enhancer to study the enhancer grammar and how enhancers can evolve. The study revealed that even single point mutations had a significant effect on the enhancer expression pattern. Furthermore, the mutations affected multiple components of the pattern. This pleiotropic nature of the mutations was demonstrated when the emergence of novel salivary gland or mouth hook expression was linked with the nearly complete loss of the original embryonic expression pattern. Additionally, changes to the low-affinity Ultrabithorax binding sites resulted in pleiotropic effects modulating the timing, pattern intensity, and ectopic expression. The authors concluded that enhancers are densely encoded with regulatory information and enhancer mutations are usually pleiotropic. Other recent studies in the yellow spot enhancer and the Sonic Hedgehog ZRS enhancer also support this claim. These findings may even suggest that the underlying cis-regulatory logic of an enhancer may constrain its evolution, a claim also made my Preger Ben-Noon et al.
The E6 enhancer
The E6 enhancer is expressed in the dorsal and quaternary cells of Drosophila embryos, larvae, and in the pupal epidermis. The E6 enhancer is one of the five enhancers that contributed to the loss of the larval dorsal trichomes in Drosophila sechellia. The molecular mechanism for this loss of expression was resolved by Preger Ben-Noon et al., where sechellia-E6 consecutively accumulated mutations in activator sites for Arrowhead and Pannier and gained a binding site for the repressor Abrupt. These mutations contributed to a 46% decrease in total embryonic shavenbaby expression, and affected the pleiotropic expression in the pupal epidermis.
The Z1.3 enhancer
The Z1.3 enhancer is a minimalized fragment of the Z enhancer, and drives expression in the embryonic quaternary cells, the larval pharynx and proventriculus, and the pupal epidermis. The Z1.3 enhancer contributed to an estimated 28% loss of total embryonic expression in Drosophila sechellia. However, unlike in E6, the mutations that affected the embryonic pattern of Z1.3 had no effect on its pleiotropic pupal epidermis expression. Preger Ben-Noon et al. further dissected the Z1.3 enhancer and were able to minimalize the pleiotropic activity into two separate enhancers: Z0.3 and Z1.3R.
The DG3 enhancer
The DG3 enhancer is primarily expressed in the ventral embryonic epidermis along with E3N and 7H. In larvae, DG3 is expressed in the dorsal and ventral regions, in the pharynix, esophagus, and proventriculus, and in the pupal epidermis. A closer look at the ventral nuclei reveals that the shavenbaby gene physically colocalizes with higher concentrations of the Ultrabithorax protein and its cofactor Homothorax. Additionally, the Drosophila line Df(svb)108 contains a deletion in the DG2, DG3, and Z enhancers. Heat shocking these lines does induce a slight decrease in the number of ventral trichomes. A closer look at the nuclei of these individual cells reveals both lower quanitifiable levels of the shavenbaby transcript and weaker nuclear microenvironment interactions between the ventral enhancers . Interestingly, transcript levels and the microenvironment can be stabilized by crossing flies carrying the deletion with flies carrying an artificial BAC of the shavenbaby locus. The studies from Tsai et al. reveals microenvironments and potentially transvection to be potential mechanisms for how redundant enhancers canalize gene expression.
The 7H enhancer
The 7H enhancer drives expression in both the ventral and dorsal embryonic and larval epidermis, the larval pharynx, and the pupal epidermis. Deletion of the 7H enhancer results in a 38% decrease in total embryonic shavenbaby expression. 7H, DG3, and E3N are the primary ventral enhancers in the embryo.
Trichome formation
Shavenbaby activates over 150 different downstream targets to express actin-remodeling proteins to form the denticle. Some of these factors include forked, shavenoid, singed, wasp, yellow, and miniature. Activation of these target genes is also dependent on SoxNeuro, one of the regulators of shavenbaby. Together, SoxNeuro and Shavenbaby act cooperatively to shape the denticles.

13162118 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted%20Snyder%20%28economist%29 | Ted Snyder (economist) | Edward Adams "Ted" Snyder (born 1953) is currently the William S. Beinecke Professor of Economics and Management at Yale School of Management. He has held two other business school deanships (University of Chicago Booth School of Business and University of Virginia Darden Graduate School of Business Administration) and was Senior Associate Dean at University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
Snyder is a strong defender of management education, having stated that the MBA is the most successful professional degree in modern history based on its general value in developing an understanding of (i) markets and competition and (ii) organizations, networks, and leadership. He foresees a greater weight going forward on a “third competency”, i.e., the ability to navigate the complexities within and across societies.
Snyder has been critical of the “students are customers” view of education, and has articulated an alternative view that sets expectations and emphasizes feedback.
Snyder has had extraordinary success with various business school rankings. At Michigan, when he was Senior Associate Dean in charge of the MBA program and part of a team led by B. Joseph White, the school rose to the No. 2 spot on the BusinessWeek rankings. While at Virginia, Darden reached No. 9 in BusinessWeek. When Snyder arrived at Chicago in 2001, the school never had had a No. 1 ranking and was ranked No. 10 in BusinessWeek. In 2006, during his tenure at Chicago, the school moved to No. 1 in BusinessWeek and has continued to hold the position. Chicago also gained two No. 1 rankings in The Economist during his tenure.
Snyder also is a prolific fundraiser. He first developed a reputation for fundraising at Darden, and later was called a business school turnaround specialist by The Wall Street Journal based on his performance at Darden and Chicago Booth.
Early in his career, Snyder worked as an economist for the United States Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division.
Yale University
On July 1, 2011, Snyder became Dean and William S. Beinecke Professor of Economics and Management at Yale School of Management.
In naming him to this position in January 2010, Yale University President Rick Levin stated: "Ted Snyder is widely regarded as the most successful business school dean in the nation. He brings experience, enthusiasm, and vision to the Yale School of Management, and he looks forward to maintaining the school’s tradition of preparing students for leadership in business and society by raising their awareness of the context in which business operates. Ted especially appreciates Yale’s openness to collaboration across its schools and departments and its strong institutional commitment to infusing its educational programs with global experiences and global awareness. Ted is also committed to advancing the curricular innovations begun by the SOM faculty three years ago."
Jim Baron, chair of the faculty search committee, stated said that more than 30 business school deans around the world were called for advice on whom to consider and Mr. Snyder's name was the only one that kept popping up. According to Baron, Ted Snyder "was widely regarded by his peers as having done the best job in the last decade or so."
Snyder's stated aspirations for Yale School of Management are to have the school become recognized as:
1. The business school that is the most involved with its home university: eminent and purposeful Yale University.
2. The most global U.S. business school in ways that are differentiating and meaningful given how the world's economy has developed.
3. The best source of elevated leaders for escalating complexity in all sectors.
Snyder's focus on globalization dates back to his appointment as the inaugural director of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan, whose founding mission was to engage the university in transition economies such as China, India, Russia, and South Africa. During the early and mid-1990s the Davidson Institute worked directly with enterprises in these regions.
Global Network for Advanced Management
In his first year as Dean of Yale School of Management, Snyder significantly increased the global reach of the school through a number of innovative initiatives. These include Snyder's conceiving of and convening the Global Network for Advanced Management, a network of 29 top business schools from a spanning set of countries. The Global Network's implementation reflects the extreme fragmentation of the management education industry, with over 13,000 business schools in operation worldwide, and the limitations associated with the partnership model by which individual schools work with others on particular programs. The Global Network creates the infrastructure to connect top talent in a flattening world and enables the member schools to collaborate in numerous ways including co-developing cases on global enterprises, project courses, and student projects. The Global Network was officially launched in April 2012.
During his first year at Yale School of Management, the school's faculty and the Yale Corporation approved a new Master of Advanced Management degree program. The one-year program draws applicants exclusively from the Global Network for Advanced Management who have completed at least the core of their MBA or equivalent, for an advanced degree at Yale.
Both the Global Network and the Master of Advanced Management program have broadened the global diversity of the school, incorporating perspectives from countries on the horizon of economic development, including Indonesia, Turkey, Ghana, Ireland, and Brazil.
Snyder also has strengthened the already strong connections between Yale School of Management and Yale University. For example, the business school offers joint courses with the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and Yale Law School, and the Master of Advanced Management students meet regularly with participants in the Yale World Fellows Program, a complementary group of high-caliber international leaders on campus.
In December 2013, Snyder led the school's move into Edward P. Evans Hall, the current home of Yale School of Management. The campus provides the school with outstanding classroom and function space, as well as state-of-the-art technological capabilities. It also enables the school to grow its three master-level programs (full-time MBA, executive MBA, and Master of Advanced Management) by 70%, which will help the school expand the scope of its programming.
University of Chicago
Snyder served as dean of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business from 2001 until 2010 and as George Shultz Professor of Economics from 2001 until 2011.
During Snyder's time as Dean, Chicago's positioning became clear as a high integrity institution, known for its commitment to the hierarchy of ideas and the extraordinary professional development of its students. Positive outcomes in terms of financial performance, programmatic initiatives, and rankings followed naturally.
Financial performance
In November 2009, Snyder was on the receiving end of his second record-setting gift to a business school, the $300M gift from David Booth of Dimensional Fund Advisors to name the University of Chicago Booth School. During the announcement, Snyder identified David Booth as a great marketer, superb entrepreneur, and an extraordinary financial thinker. Snyder's remarks also quoted George Shultz and paraphrased Bob Dylan.
The school's endowment grew from $197M at the start of his tenure to $475M at the end date, not including the effects of David Booth's gift. During his deanship, the cumulative operating surplus at Chicago Booth was $100.4M. This reflected strong performance in terms of program execution, overall management, and development.
The PhD program endowment went from $2.7M in 2001, to over $15.0M as of June 2010. With the help of an array of committed donors, the school increased the MBA student scholarship budget by an average annual increase of 17.1% over nine budget cycles. It also more than doubled number of endowed professorships, and during Snyder's deanship, Chicago Booth enjoyed the highest retention of senior faculty in five decades.
Programmatic initiatives
During his tenure, Chicago Booth opened a permanent campus in London, was ready for the expansion of its Singapore campus, and opened the $125M Harper Center in Hyde Park, Chicago. The Becker Center and the Initiative on Global Markets were established during his deanship. The school launched the CRSP indices project, which should generate substantial guaranteed license revenues, and also launched the Nielsen Marketing database projects.
Rankings
Chicago Booth moved from 10th in the Businessweek rankings to 1st, and has held the No. 1 ranking since 2006. The school ranked in the top 10 in 74 of 78 rankings during his deanship. The Economist also ranked it No. 1 twice during his tenure. These rankings were significant for the school; while it had been well-ranked prior to his tenure, it never had received a No. 1 ranking.
University of Virginia
Snyder was the Dean and Charles C. Abbott Professor at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business from 1998 to 2001.
At Darden, he directed an expansion of the school's MBA program, worked to improve the diversity of the student body, and significantly increased the school's executive education offerings. In his decanal role, Snyder was on the receiving end of what was at the time the largest gift in business school history, Frank Batten Sr.’s $60M gift in December 1999 to establish the Batten Institute.
Other
Snyder received his MA in public policy in 1978 and PhD in economics in 1984 from the University of Chicago. After a professional start as an economist with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, Snyder joined the faculty at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business in 1982. He served as a faculty member and later as Senior Associate Dean, and was also the founding director of the Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan, which studies emerging markets.
His research interests include industrial organization, antitrust economics, law and economics, and financial institutions. He has published in many academic journals, and at Chicago Booth he co-taught "Economic Analysis of Major Policy Issues" with fellow economists Gary Becker, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1992, and Kevin Murphy, a 2005 MacArthur Fellow. He serves on the Colby College Board of Trustees.
Family
Snyder's father was a World War II bomber pilot and his mother was a high-school teacher.

13162175 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall%20from%20Grace%20%28band%29 | Fall from Grace (band) | Fall from Grace was an American alternative rock band formed in 2004 in Seattle, Washington.
Born in 2004, the original lineup "rose from the ashes" of 3 other local Seattle bands: The Highsiders, Capacity 3, and 3 Deuces.
Tryg and Brian (Btown) started working on the framework of Fall From Grace's (FFG's) first EP Rise From The Ashes in May 2004, and put together a makeshift practice space in the back room of a warehouse in Auburn, where Btown worked. Kenny Bates (KennyB) had just been discharged from the Army, and was looking for a band to hang his hat with. Tryg and KennyB went way back, and had always dreamed of playing together. Seemed like the time had come to make that dream a reality. Ken (Big Ken) was Btown's brother, and had been playing in bands with Btown since high school. It was the perfect lineup at the perfect time.
Upon their release of Rise From The Ashes, the band quickly gained steam by DIY (do it yourself) touring full time to start spreading the word of FFG. From the punk rock ethics of doing it themselves, they created their own merch, street teams, ran their own shows, paid the local bands in each market, and made tons of friends along the way.
In 2005 FFG began working on the first Full Length album Covered in Scars. This album was a culmination of several songs they'd been writing in the road and locally in Seattle. Covered in Scars was, what friends referred to as, "the album where FFG found their sound". Tryg had been writing poetry as a therapeutic coping mechanism to get through some hard times, and those writings are what became the lyrics for Covered in Scars. Quickly they saw venues filling up with friends to see them play, and before they knew it, people were even singing their songs. The 4-piece knew that something was clicking, and were having a blast growing their band and their following in the process.
In 2006, Tryg had added FFG into a Battle of the Bands as a joke when Bodog Music added him on Myspace. Tryg was well aware that battle of the bands usually consisted of a promoter who would "sell" young bands on a grand prize that was generally very unworthy of the income they'd make from attendance and alcohol sales at the club. However, with the buzz that was surrounding FFG at the time, he also thought it would be a lot of fun for him and the guys to blow the doors off of the other bands competing, while making some new fans as well. What he didn't know, was what was in store for the battle, nor what the grand prize was.
Just before the 3rd round of the Battle of the Bands was to commence, it was announced that the winner of this round would be going to star in a reality TV show! Nerves were high, the competition was strong, but in classic FFG style, they drank heavily, and enjoyed every second. Roughly 1,500 fans showed up for this round from all over Washington State, fighting 70 mph winds in the process, to see FFG give a stellar performance! KennyB proposed to his soon-to-be wife on stage, and Tryg called out the judges, telling the crowd to yell obscenities at them. Despite all Tryg's efforts, they still won and ended up going to Cleveland to be on Fuse TV's reality show Bodog Music's Battle of the Bands.
From there, the band traveled from Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to Memphis' Graceland and Gibson Guitar Factory, to New Orleans' Tipitina's and 9th Ward, to Austin's 6th Street, to Los Angeles then Canada and BACK to Los Angeles. FFG competed in immunity challenges like a photoshoot challenge, a music video challenge, raising money for charity, eating food and drink and playing songs while running and puking, etc.
FFG is best known for winning said Fuse TV's reality show Bodog Music Battle of the Bands and winning that $1mm dollar recording contract with Bodog Music. FFG beat out over 7,000 bands in the end, the top ten of which they toured with for the prize. Those 10 bands included Boston's "Fear Nuttin' Band", Miami's "Big Bang Radio", Dallas's "Ashmore", Houston's "Subversa", Atlanta's "The Mood", Minneapolis's "Leroy Smokes", Los Angeles's "Blaxmyth", Phoenix's "Idle Red", San Francisco's "Strifer", and Philadelphia's "Burn Down All Stars".
Upon returning home, FFG self-released Covered in Scars before they let the ink dry from signing their newfound record deal with Bodog Music and did what they do best: went on their last DIY tour.
The band released their first major label album, Sifting Through the Wreckage, in 2009, and toured with Alesana, Protest the Hero, CKY, and Graveyard to support the album. The album includes the singles "Burned", "Hated Youth", "King of Lies" and "Pictures on the Wall".
Upon returning from the 2009 tour, playing over 285 shows in 14 countries abroad, KennyB and Big Ken hung up their hats from FFG, and Tryg and Btown found themselves at the writing table, once again.
In 2010, Tryg and Btown spent the better part of that year writing and recording the framework for what would become The Romance Years, FFG's final album, while negotiating their release of Bodog Music. They started their own label, Road to Hell Rekkids, and put a new lineup together. The band now included brothers Cotton and Ty McDonald from another popular local band, The Jet City Fix and Jesse Smith, a local Seattle drummer who'd been friends with Tryg for a longstanding time.
FFG set out for their final tour in 2012 with Eve-6 and Saving Abel. They played the majority of the biggest cities in the lower 48 states, once again, and knew that it had been a great ride, with some of the greatest friends anyone could ask for.
Fall From Grace had never intended for the success they experienced, and certainly not to become TV celebrities. They just wanted to do it their way, from day 1. They accomplished that, and made some amazing relationships along the way.
On November 5, 2012, Fall From Grace announced their split after their final tour.

13162206 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor%20Jenks | Tudor Jenks | Tudor Storrs Jenks (May 7, 1857 – February 11, 1922) was an American writer, poet, artist and editor, as well as a journalist and lawyer. He is chiefly remembered for the popular works of fiction and nonfiction he wrote for children and general readers.
Life and family
Jenks was born on May 7, 1857, in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Grenville Tudor Jenks and Persis Sophia (Smith) Jenks. His older brother was Almet F. Jenks, presiding justice of the appellate division of the New York Supreme Court. His younger brother Paul E. Jenks served as American vice consul in Yokohama, Japan. He was a grand-nephew of Wendell Phillips. He married, October 5, 1882, Mary Donnison Ford. They had three daughters, Dorothy, Pauline, and Amabel, the last of whom Jenks collaborated with on a play. He lived in Bronxville, New York, where he died at his home, of apoplexy, on February 11, 1922. He was survived by his wife and daughters.
Education
Jenks graduated from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute in 1874, Yale University in 1878, and Columbia Law School in 1880. He studied art in Paris in the winter of 1880–1881. Among his classmates at Yale were William Howard Taft, afterwards president of the United States, and Arthur Twining Hadley, later president of the university. During his attendance there he became a member of Skull and Bones and Delta Kappa Epsilon.
Career
Jenks practiced law in New York City from 1881 to 1887, following which he served on the staff of St. Nicholas Magazine as an associate editor from November 1887 – October 1902. Afterwards he resumed law practice with the firm of Jenks & Rogers, of which his brother Almet was the senior partner. He was also a professional writer throughout his working life. His shorter works appeared in numerous magazines, including The American Magazine, Art World and Arts and Decoration, Book Buyer, The Bookman, The Century, Chautauquan, The Critic, Current Opinion, The Era, Everybody's Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar, Harper's Monthly Magazine, Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Harper's Weekly, International Studio, Journal of Education, Ladies' Home Journal, Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, Living Age, Munsey's Magazine, Outing, St. Nicholas, The Cosmopolitan, The Independent, The Outlook, Woman's Home Companion, and World's Work. They were extensively anthologized during his own time. His books, almost all of them juveniles, were published by the Henry Altemus Company, A. S. Barnes & Company, Thomas Y. Crowell & Company, Doubleday, and F.A. Stokes Co., among others. Several were illustrated by John R. Neill. Jenks was a member of the Authors' Club.

The origin of Mingorría is quite obscure; its names has, or it seems to have, some Basque roots: from Mendigorría, red hill in Basque language, but there are not definitive signs of that origin.
Landscape of Mingorría shows granite blocks and evergreen oaks in an open field. Climate is typically interior Mediterranean with cold winters (negative temperatures are very common), warm summers, and a very dry atmosphere.
As in other areas of Castile and León this place has lost its population since the 1960s, when rural life started to decline in mainland Spain.
Farming was a part of traditional economy, but stonework was the most prevalent activity until the early 1890s. This sector emerged after the opening of railway in 1870 allowing to export granite stonework to other regions.

13162274 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl%20O%27Brien | Daryl O'Brien | Daryl Ernest O'Brien (born 10 September 1941) is a former Australian rules footballer and coach who played 135 games for the North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1960s.
A tenacious utility player who often started on the half-back flank, he was also considered one of the toughest and most effective "taggers" of the period and one of the hardest men to beat one-on-one in the league. O'Brien's tagging role embodied a who's who of top players of that era, including Ron Barassi, Bobby Skilton, Peter Hudson, Alex Jesaulenko, Peter Crimmins, Darrel Baldock, Roger Dean, John Sharrock, Des Tuddenham, Ted Whitten and John Northey.
Recruited from West Coburg, O'Brien captained North Melbourne's under-19 side for two years before playing a handful of senior games as a half-forward flanker in the 1960 season. He was dropped to the reserves for the whole of 1961. In the lead-up to the 1962 season, O'Brien was invited to train by both Essendon and Footscray. O'Brien formally requested a clearance to Footscray, seeing that as an opportunity to again play at the senior level. This prompted a re-think by North Melbourne; O'Brien was retained, reinventing himself as a half-back flanker and utility player. He excelled in these roles, justifying North's decision to turn down the transfer. O'Brien became a stalwart in the Kangaroo side for the next eight seasons, and in 1964 was runner-up to Noel Teasdale in the Syd Barker Medal, North Melbourne's best and fairest award.
In 1968, O'Brien was selected to represent Australia as part of the Australian Football World Tour, the second of the international rules football series against Ireland.
In 1970, O'Brien joined Victorian Football Association (VFA) team Brunswick, and was appointed the dual role of captain-coach at the end of the 1971 season. He led the side to a Second Division Grand Final appearance in 1973, after which he announced his playing days were over.
O'Brien went on to serve in the North Melbourne match committee as a team selector under premiership coach Ron Barassi.
While playing senior football, O'Brien studied to become a licensed realtor and auctioneer, eventually becoming a director and later partner of a real estate business in Melbourne, Victoria. He is now retired and lives in Gowanbrae, Victoria.

13162307 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light%20Cavalry%20HAC | Light Cavalry HAC | The Light Cavalry HAC is a Ceremonial sub-unit of the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC). Established in 1861 as an active military unit, the Light Cavalry was reestablished in 1979 as a uniformed civilian ceremonial unit for special events. The Light Cavalry are primarily based at Armoury House in London with horses stabled in Windsor Great Park.
History
The Light Cavalry were originally formed in 1861 to act as mounted reconnaissance for the gun batteries. Apart from its military duties, the Light Cavalry formed the official mounted escort for the Lord Mayor of the City of London. The Light Cavalry paraded for Princess Alexandra's visit to the city in 1861, the state visit of Tsar Alexander II in 1874 and was reviewed by Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace and in Windsor Castle in the 1880s.
In 1890 the Light Cavalry Troop were converted into a unit of Horse Artillery by order of the War Office and was renamed A Battery HAC, taking precedence over the HAC's existing field Battery.
Current incarnation
In 1979 a new ceremonial Light Cavalry unit was formed within the HAC. Its chief proponent was Major Gerald Flint-Shipman, an officer in the Territorial Army Royal Green Jackets and non-regimental member of the HAC, who became its first commander. The Light Cavalry was awarded the Royal Warrant from HM Queen Elizabeth in 2004. In 2020 the Light Cavalry comprises a headquarters and two Troops, each of three sections.
The Light Cavalry wear full dress in the patten of a 19th century Hussar uniform with silver facings. A busby, traditional hussar headdress, is worn with ceremonial mounted and dismounted review order. In addition, members may also be seen in frock order, mess kit and barrack dress on drill nights.
Duties
A Royal Warrant granted by HM The Queen in 2004 tasks the Light Cavalry with providing a ceremonial bodyguard for the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of the City of London. The Light Cavalry escorts the Lady Mayoress’s Coach during the annual Lord Mayor’s Show. Other duties include providing mounted and dismounted guards of honour for members of the Royal Family, Civic dignitaries including the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, City of London Livery Companies, as well as other institutions, equestrian events, balls, dinners, and film premieres.
Military equestrian skills are taught and practiced by the Light Cavalry, preserving military drills of a Victorian cavalry unit. Members regularly participate in skill-at-arms and military equestrian events. Full instruction is given in the use of traditional cavalry weapons of the era, the sword and lance.
Membership
Membership of the Light Cavalry is open to all ranks of any Service. Members are unpaid but give freely of their own time for drill practice and rehearsals as well as for official duties.
Supporting Riders Club
The Light Cavalry also has a Supporting Riders Club based at their stables in Windsor Great Park. Here lessons and hacks are available to members of the club which is open to both members and non-members civilians as well as military. Supporting Riders also assist the Light Cavalry on parades such as the Lord Mayor’s Show.

13162310 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonaparte%27s%20parakeet | Bonaparte's parakeet | Bonaparte's parakeet (Pyrrhura lucianii), also known as Deville's parakeet, or in aviculture as Deville's conure, is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is restricted to the Brazilian state of Amazonas south of the Solimões river.
Description
Total length c. . As other members of the Pyrrhura picta complex, it is a long-tailed mainly green parakeet with a dark red belly, rump and tail-tip (tail all dark red from below), pale grey scaling to the chest, a whitish or dull buff patch on the auriculars and bluish remiges. The cheeks and crown are dark dusky-maroon (often appears almost blackish). Unlike other members of the P. picta complex, it lacks any bright red or blue to the head (but see Taxonomy). The legs are dark greyish.
Habitat and behavior
It occurs in tropical humid lowland forest and adjacent habitats. It is social and typically seen in pairs or groups. It feeds on fruits, seeds and flowers. The nest is placed in a tree cavity. It is likely to be fairly common within its range, but generally very poorly known, as the remote region where it occurs rarely is visited by ornithologists.
Taxonomy
It has typically been considered a subspecies of Pyrrhura picta. As with most other taxa in the P. picta complex, Joseph (2002) recommended that lucianii should be recognized as a monotypic species, P. lucianii. Ribas et al. (2006) did not include lucianii in their study, but did find that P. picta (sensu stricto) was closer to some members of the P. leucotis complex than to the various taxa found mainly south of the Amazon River and traditionally considered as subspecies of it. Consequently, Ribas et al. recommended that the west Amazonian taxa (roseifrons and peruviana) and the east Amazonian taxa (amazonum and snethlageae) should be considered two separate species. Based on biogeography, it therefore becomes unlikely that P. lucianii is a subspecies of P. picta, but the possibility that it is better regarded as conspecific with either P. amazonum or P. roseifrons cannot be discounted on basis of current knowledge. P. lucianii was described before both P. amazonum and P. roseifrons, meaning that they, if one of these scenarios was found to be correct, would become subspecies of P. lucianii (i.e. P. lucianii amazonum or P. lucianii roseifrons). SACC voted to recognize P. lucianii as a species.
Another problem relates to the population of the P. picta complex from far north-eastern Peru. These individuals with red to the forecrown have often (e.g. Juniper and Parr, 1998) been regarded as typical of P. lucianii. Joseph (2002) found that this was incorrect, with true P. lucianii being restricted to Brazil and lacking any bright red to the head. The taxonomic position of the population in far north-eastern Peru, labelled as "group 6" by Joseph (2002), therefore remains unclear, it having been speculated that it could be a distinct species, a subspecies of either P. roseifrons or P. lucianii, a hybrid between the P. roseifrons and P. lucianii (which, if found to be true, could indicate that P. lucianii and P. roseifrons are better considered conspecific), or a hybrid between the currently recognized subspecies of P. roseifrons. Arndt (2008) recently argued for treating it as a distinct species, which he described as P. parvifrons, but this has yet to receive widespread recognition (e.g. by SACC).
