Victorian houses on lots 17 and 18, Nos. 137 and 135 Macquarie Street, were demolished in 1929 and the BMA commissioned the winners of a vigorous competition, Fowell and McConnel, and their contractors, Hutcherson Bros, to erect a prestigious high-rise building on the double site. The new building was completed in April 1930, acclaimed, along with Grace Bros' new store in King Street, as "the first two local examples that can be said to really follow the dictates of skyscraper and modern American architecture generally". Its qualities of design were recognised when in 1933 its architects were the first recipients

of the Royal Institute of British Architects Street medal and diploma. The faience terracotta panelling of the exterior by Wunderlich was matched in the principal public interior spaces and the six full-size medieval knights in armour along with two koalas perched high on the facade were manufactured by the same firm. The spectacular assembly hall was panelled with Queensland maple and with Colotex, which was affixed to battens on the concrete walls to give the best acoustics and insulation. Dr Todd died just a year after the building was completed and the hall became the Robert H. Todd Assembly Hall.

The offices and library of the BMA were on the first floor, the offices in room 101 now occupied by Dr Duke, the library in room 104 with the sign of Aesculapius guarding the entrance still. In 1972 the BMA became the Australian Medical Association and in the 1980s the new body moved to a new AMA House in St Leonards. The original building is now entirely leased to professional people, mainly doctors and dentists.

Engineers for original building were Watson & White. The terracotta faience was manufactured locally by Wunderlich. The building won the RIBA Award for Street Architecture in 1935 and RIBA Bronze Medal. The AMA House has high aesthetic significance as a particularly fine and rare example of early Sydney "skyscraper" designed in an exuberant and idiosyncratic Inter-war Art Deco style embellished with "Medieval" and "Gothic" decoration. While providing important evidence of the strong influence of American styles and building techniques on Sydney's interwar commercial buildings, AMA House is notable for its use of both local materials and technologies - including particularly

returned to Balmain but was limited to 6 appearances over the final two seasons of his playing career due to injuries. Sinclair intended to play on beyond 1999 but was forced into early retirement after being unable to recover from chronic knee problems. Sinclair attempted to resurrect his career by coming out of retirement to play with South Sydney once again when the club was on the verge of readmission to the league but this never came to fruition. On December 9 2010, Sinclair was found dead at his apartment in Woolwich, Sydney. NSW Police stated that Sinclair had not

been seen for a number of days leading up to his death. Former players who knew Sinclair spoke to the media in the wake of his death. Former Balmain player Steve Roach said "He could play, don't worry about that". Former Canberra player Laurie Daley said "I know when I played against Jacin it was always a tough game, He was ultra-competitive and a gifted player. It is very sad news". Paul Sironen said of Sinclair "All of the old Balmain players are very upset, Jacin was always easy to get on with, he was a terrific footballer, but he

was compared to some greats of the past when he was young and that pressure made it hard for him". Australian Rugby League chairman John Chalk said '"He was a champion bloke and a champion footballer, He just had talent to burn. He didn't quite fulfil his promise as a player, because he got a number of injuries as his career went on, and like a lot of young people who are thrust into the limelight because they are good at something, he found it hard to handle all of the attention".

Maltôte In medieval French law, a maltôte is an extraordinary tax that applied to everyday consumer goods (wine, beer, wax ...), raised to cope with unusual expenses. In general, it was to finance the cost of wars or fortification works. The term "malatolta" was used for it from the 10th century. The first mention of the term "maltôte" seems to be in the "registre des olim " in 1273 Philip the Fair made himself unpopular by raising maltôte in 1292 to finance the Flanders War: the tax of the denier per pound was payable by both the seller and the

Maltôte

purchaser. Because of its unpopular character it was quickly named by the people by the pejorative name of "maltôte". The maltöte was, indeed, frequently badly perceived by the populations who were put at contribution for purposes sometimes very far from their daily concerns. The war in Flanders was thus at the origin of a popular revolt in Rouen, which aimed to oppose the maltôte. By extension, the word "maltôte" quickly was used to mean any extraordinary taxes. The use of maltôtes lasted until the eighteenth century. The French word "maltôtiers" has been applied to officers or other persons engaged in

Stone High School (Mississippi) Stone High School is a public secondary school in Wiggins, Mississippi, United States. It is the only high school in the Stone County School District. Prior to federally mandated integration in 1969, Stone County maintained separate schools for white students and black students. Stone High School served the white students, while Stone County Training School, built in 1955 and renamed W.P. Locker High School in 1959, served the African-American students. After integration, Locker was used as a middle school. Locker's principal, Needham Jones, a former Tuskeegee airman, was demoted to assistant principal at the middle school,

In 2016 a group of white students at Stone High School put a noose around the neck of a black student. Local law enforcement discouraged the student's family from filing a report. The student was disciplined by the school and was removed from the football team by coach John Feaster, the school's first African-American coach in any sport. In 2016, 75% of the schools 800 students were white. A 2017 report showed

and state policymakers to, among other things, overhaul teacher education programs, establish state boards of professional teaching standards, strengthen teacher licensure standards, implement teacher mentoring programs, and create teacher compensation policies that reward knowledge and expertise. The report had wide-reaching impact, with seven states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio, signing on to be partners in implementing the report's recommendations. In 2001, the NCTAF appointed former US federal election official Tom Carrol its executive director. Carroll announced his retirement in 2014. He was succeeded by Melinda George.

Gumpy Gumpy is a open source Python 3 python software package for BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) developing and researching. This BCI toolbox could be used for EEG and EMG analysis, visualization and decoding, and it is suitable for performing online hybrid BCI experiments. More than that, Gumpy implements deep learning techniques such as CNN to enhance EEG/EMG decoding. Gumpy is not that independent: it heavily relies on other numerical and scientific libraries, for instance numpy, scipy, or scikit-learn. BCI researchers rely highly on EEG/EMG decoding, signal processing, feature extraction, etc. Thus, gumpy grasps things that researchers/developers need together in order to

Gumpy

alleviate them from the pain of repeatedly code searching or 'reinventing wheels'. As a matter of fact, gumpy wraps existing functions mostly in such a way that researchers/developers can swiftly perform data analysis and implement new classifiers.

supervision of Prof. Wiktor Marek. The dissertation title was: 'Combinatorial Aspects of Information Retrieval'. His habilitation was granted by the Institute of Computer Science of Polish Academy of Sciences. Lipski spent academic year 1979/1980 at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, and the last two years before his death, at the University of Paris. Jointly with his doctoral student, Tomasz Imielinski, Lipski investigated foundations of treatment of 'Incomplete Information in Relational Databases'. The results of these investigations were published in the bibliographical items Again, in collaboration with Imielinski, Lipski studied the semantical issues of relational databases. These investigations were based

on the theory of cylindric algebras, a topic studied within Universal Algebra. According to Van den Bussche, the first people from database community to recognize the connection between Codd's relational algebra and Tarski's cylindric algebras were Witold Lipski and Tomasz Imieliński, in a talk given at the very first edition of PODS (the ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems), in 1982. Their work,"The relational model of data and cylindric algebras" was later published in 1984. Additionally, Lipski contributed to the research in the are of algorithm analysis, specifically - by discovering a number of efficient algorithms applicable in the

analysis of VLSI devices (collaboration with Franco P Preparata), time-sharing in database implementations (collaboration with Christos Papadimitriou), computational geometry (as applied to shape recognition, again, in collaboration with Franco Preparata). Lipski was an author of a book on combinatorial algorithms, Combinatorics for Programmers ("Kombinatoryka dla Programistow", in Polish). This book has had two editions (one of these posthumous) and it was also translated in Russian. Additionally, jointly with Wiktor Marek, Lipski published a monograph on Combinatorial analysis. Father of Witold was a well-known economist and politician . Lipski died in Nantes, France, after a long battle with cancer. He is

His thesis was focused on the Tropical-Colonial State Household with Cornelis van Vollenhoven as his mentor. In his dissertation, he describes how the Indian population responds differently to economic incentives coming from the West. On 1 September 1910 he traveled to the Dutch East Indies as an official (whose services were made available to the Governor-General), not knowing where exactly he was to be put to

work. He ended up working at the General Secretariat. He worked there for a few months after which he transferred to the Gymnasium Willem III in Batavia where he taught state design and economics. In 1914 he was assigned a position as acting advisor for the Volkskredietwezen and in 1919 he was promoted to being an advisor. This was the highest position at the Volkskredietwezen at the time. In addition, he received a position as a full professor of colonial economics at the Nederlandsche Handels-Hoogeschool that year and was offered a position as extraordinary professor of tropical colonial economics at

He gave his first lectures during the academic year 1926-1927, but the following year he traveled to India and then returned to the Netherlands. In 1929, Leiden University again offered him a professorship, which he accepted. This time it was a full professorship with the task of tropical colonial economics. The year before he argued during his inaugural lecture for the introduction of a dualistic economic system in the Dutch East Indies. He contended during this speech that

the Western theoretical economy was not applicable to Asian village communities. During his first years as a professor he was able to focus undisturbed on science and he expanded his research field to Japan and India. In 1940 his work Indian Economics (renamed as "Economy of Indonesia" in 1951) was published. When the Second World War broke, Boeke took part in the Leiden resistance. In 1941 he published his work National Socialist State Household in which the National Socialist Movement was criticized. Because of this publication he was fired and deported to the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. He was released again

Leon Weinstein Leon Chaim Lazer Weinstein (May 13, 1910 – December 28, 2011) was the oldest surviving resistance fighter of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. A member the Jewish Combat Organization and later the Home Army during the later parts of World War II, Weinstein previously served in the Polish Army in the early 1930s and again during the German invasion of Poland in 1939. Leon Chaim Lazer Weinstein was born on May 13, 1910, part of a Jewish family in the village of Radzymin, 20 miles outside of Warsaw, Poland. At twelve years old, Weinstein became an apprentice to

a local tailor. But he would soon run away from his family's village to Warsaw seeking better opportunities for employment. Continuing to work as a tailor, Weinstein saved a healthy sum to help his family and returned to Radzymin to rejoin his family by the age of 18. He began working as a foreman for a clothing manufacturer. Weinstein joined the Polish Army and served two years in the cavalry. As WWII broke out, Weinstein rejoined the Army in early September 1939 to fight with the Polish cavalry during German invasion of Poland. Captured near the Polish-Russian border, he was

sent to a prison camp in Kovel, Ukraine. He escaped two months later and traveled the 600 miles to Radzymin by foot, arriving in September 1940. He took an active part in the Jewish Combat Organization () under the leadership of Mordechai Anielewicz and Yitzhak Zuckerman. He obtained forged papers to regularly work outside his Jewish neighborhood. From there, he smuggled food, arms, and would recruit and train volunteers to fight. In October 1942, through a tip, he found out that Jews in Radzymin were going to be taken. He tried to convince his extended family to run away but

Leon Weinstein

to no avail. On October 4, Weinstein escaped with his wife Sima and his 15-month-old daughter Natalie. Thousands of Jews from Radzymin were rounded up and sent via rail transport to Treblinka, a Nazi concentration camp in the northeast of Poland. This included the rest of his entire family including his grandparents, parents, sisters, and brothers, none of whom survived. The Weinsteins headed for Warsaw. Life was not safe for their daughter. So her parents bundled her up, hung a gold cross around her neck, hoping Polish authorities would believe she was a Christian. They left her on the doorstep

of an attorney who immediately took her to the Warsaw Police Station. Sima went into hiding, and Leon went back to fight with ŻOB in the Warsaw Ghetto. Weinstein was responsible for smuggling weapons into the ghetto. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19 when German tanks began rolling into the Ghetto. The resistance lasted for 27 days. Weinstein survived and escaped through the Warsaw sewage system. He crawled through the sewers for three days and managed to escape the Ghetto with six others who scattered in the non-Jewish part of the city. Weinstein was able to stay at

a friend's house for the remainder of the war and worked for the Polish Underground Army. He would pose as a railroad worker to smuggle supplies and sabotage the rail system. After the war, he learned that his first wife Sima and all his relatives had died. He eventually found his daughter in a convent in Poland and was able to recognize her from a birthmark above her hip. The family moved to France in 1947, and Weinstein married Sophie, a survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp. They had a son named Michael. Eventually, the family emigrated to the United States

Democratic Republic (East Germany). Schroeder grew up in a politically engaged family near the increasingly impermeable - and later heavily fortified - internal border which till 1989/90 separated two versions of Germany. There were nevertheless school trips which enabled pupils to obtain a glimpse of life in The East. He would later recall a school trip for which the class was accommodated at a hostel which was also hosting East German school children who were unable to tear themselves away from the television advertisements transmitted from across the border by West German television. Schrieder attended the prestigious Katharineum (secondary school)

in Lübeck, passing the necessary school final exams (Abitur) in 1969. Instead of attending a nearby university he now moved to West Berlin, "attracted by the political climate there", where he studied biology, and political sciences at the Free University. He emerged in 1975 with a first degree in Political Sciences. He next accepted a bursary for a doctorate and, from the winter term of 1975/76, a teaching contract at the FUB. Between 1978 and 1982 Klaus Schroeder worked as a research assistant at the university Institute of Sociology. His focus was on government, organisation and planning. This provided the

An empirical study on economic developments and policies in West Germany from 1967 to 1982"". This was accepted as a doctoral dissertation. In 1984, two years after it earned him his doctorate, Schroeder published it in West Germany. Then, in 1994, he obtained his habilitation, a higher academic qualification which cleared the way for a life-time career in the universities sector. His work was again in the field of political

sciences, and the award again came from the FUB. His publications and lectures dealt with themes in contemporary history along with the welfare state, extremist movements, processes of societal modernisation, social movements more generally, and with the social and political systems of Germany and, before 1990, East Germany. Between 1982 and 1987 Klaus Schroeder worked in the Presidium Office at the Free University, supporting the First Vce-President and then for Gerlach's successor. Schroeder's responsibilities in this administrative role covered the interface between then University Presidency and the Political Sciences section. After undertaking a project leadership role, he took over the

leadership of the Politics and Technology department in 1995. Meanwhile, in 1992 he teamed up with the historian and the sociologists , and to create the research group devoted to "the SED state" (described elsewhere as "the East German one-party dictatorship"), which has become a permanent high-level working and research group, mostly funded by third parties, devoted to Germany's post-1945 division and the reunification project on which the country was able to embark forty-five year later. Since then Schroeder has headed up the research group under the auspices of the Free University. In 2013 the magazine Cicero listed the 500
