Andrea Nye

Andrea Nye (born 1939) is a feminist philosopher and writer.  Nye is a Professor Emerita at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater for the  Philosophy and Religious Studies Department and an active member of the Women's Studies Department. In 1992, Nye received the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater Award for Outstanding Research.

Life and career
Andrea Nye was born on October 22, 1939, in Philadelphia to attorney Hamilton Connor and home-maker Florence Deans. Nye received  a B. A. in philosophy from Radcliffe College (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study) in 1961 and a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Oregon in 1977. Nye has been affiliated with the University of Wisconsin—Whitewater for decades; first as an assistant professor from 1978 to 1985, then as an associate professor from 1985–1990, followed by a position as a professor of philosophy from 1990–2002. Nye has been a  professor emeritus for the philosophy and religious studies department since  2002. Andrea Nye is also a member of the Liberal Studies Division at the Boston Conservatory teaching interdisciplinary courses in the Humanities.

Nye's early work in philosophy of language included a thesis on private language and a monograph on the history of logic from a feminist perspective. In subsequent work, Nye turned more specifically to issues related to gender in language, the place of women in the history of philosophy, and feminist theory. Reviving the work of neglected or misinterpreted women thinkers was of special interest in later work, including translations and commentary on the letters of Elisabeth of the Palatinate to René Descartes (The Princess and the Philosopher), the political thought of Rosa Luxemburg, Hannah Arendt, and Simone Weil (Philosophia) and most recently, Diotima’s teaching on erotic desire in Plato’s Symposium (hl)(Socrates and Diotima).

2007 Peel state by-election

The 2007 Peel state by-election was held in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly district of Peel on 3 February 2007.

The by-election was triggered by the resignation of Labor MP Norm Marlborough. Labor candidate Paul Papalia was elected to fill the vacancy.

Background

Norm Marlborough was appointed to cabinet in 2006 as Minister for Small Business, Minister for the Peel and the South West, and Minister Assisting the Minister for Education and Training. This followed the replacement of Geoff Gallop by Alan Carpenter as Premier and Labor leader. Carpenter relaxed the previously existing ban on ministerial contact with disgraced former Premier turned lobbyist Brian Burke. Marlborough, a friend of Burke's, would prove an embarrassment to the government when it was revealed by the Corruption and Crime Commission that he had deliberately passed on confidential cabinet information to Burke.

Marlborough resigned from parliament on 10 November 2006, following his sacking from the ministry. On 21 November 2006, the Speaker of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly issued a writ directing the Electoral Commissioner to proceed with an election in the district.

Timeline

Results

Despite the controversy surrounding Marlborough's resignation, the government went unpunished at the ballot box. Instead, the by-election produced an increased two-party preferred majority for Labor.

Konstantin Somov

Konstantin Andreyevich Somov (Russian: Константин Андреевич Сомов; November 30, 1869 – May 6, 1939) was a Russian artist associated with the Mir iskusstva. Born into a family of a major art historian and Hermitage Museum curator Andrey Ivanovich Somov, he became interested in 18th-century art and music at an early age.

Biography
Somov studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts under Ilya Repin from 1888 to 1897. While at the Academy, he befriended Alexandre Benois, who would introduce him to Sergei Diaghilev and Léon Bakst. When the three founded the World of Art, Somov liberally contributed to its periodicals. Somov was homosexual, like many of the World of Art members.

Inspired by Watteau and Fragonard, he preferred to work with watercolours and gouache. For three years he worked upon his masterpiece, Lady in Blue, painted in the manner of 18th-century portraitists.

During the 1910s, Somov executed a number of rococo harlequin scenes and illustrations to the poems by Alexander Blok. Many of his works were exhibited abroad, especially in Germany, where the first monograph on him was published in 1909.

Following the Russian Revolution, he emigrated to the United States, but found the country "absolutely alien to his art" and moved to Paris. He was buried at the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Cemetery.

On June 14, 2007, Somov's landscape "The Rainbow" (1927) was sold at Christie's for US$7.33 million, a record for a work at an auction of Russian art.

John Cogswell

John Cogswell (1592-1669) was a leading figure and large landowner in the early history of Ipswich, Massachusetts and a deputy for the General Court of Massachusetts. He is the immigrant ancestor to an astonishing number of notable Americans.

Biography
John Cogswell, born in Westbury Leigh, Wiltshire, England, was a successful merchant in London, England before migrating to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635. Cogswell married Elizabeth, the daughter of Rev. William Thompson, vicar of Westbury in 1615. Twenty years later, in 1635, Cogswell and his family embarked on the unlucky ship, the Angel Gabriel, for Massachusetts. However, the ship crashed off of the coast of Maine during the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635. Cogswell salvaged most of what he lost from the wreck and headed south for Boston, Massachusetts before settling in Ipswich.

In Ipswich, Cogswell was granted 300 acres of land now known as Cogswell's Grant and he received freeman status to allow him to run for public office. He eventually became a deputy to the General Court for Ipswich, in addition to fulfilling functions for the town. Cogswell died in 1669. He was honored with a five-mile long funeral procession followed by a service conducted by Rev. William Hubbard. The historian Darrett B. Rutman states that Cogswell's will is "exceptional in providing for the formal education of a daughter." Although he was a man of reputation in his time, his greatest legacy for posterity is surviving the great hurricane and leaving many celebrated descendants.

Descendants
John Cogswell and Elizabeth Thompson had many children; however, the following children left notable descendants:

William Cogswell (1619-1696). He married Susannah Hawkes. He and his son, Jonathan, signed a petition to protect John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth during the Salem witch trials. An influential citizen of Ipswich, he acquired the Rev. John Wise to be the first pastor of Chebacco Parish. Descendants include Princess Diana. Prince William, Prince Harry, Prince George of Cambridge, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr and Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Charles Francis Adams, Sr., Henry Adams, Brooks Adams, Margaret Mead, Tennessee Williams, William Cogswell, Thomas Pynchon

John Cogswell Jr (1622-1653). He died of a snake bite on a return voyage from London, a year after his wife, Elizabeth Thoth's (of England) death. He left behind three children, John, Samuel and Elizabeth Cogswell - the youngest but a year old. Descendants include Henry D. Cogswell

Hannah Cogswell (1626-1704). She married Deacon Cornelius Waldo. Descendants include Ralph Waldo Emerson, E. A. Robinson, Calvin Coolidge, Lamar Hunt, William Bart Saxbe

Abigail Cogswell (1641-1728). She married Thomas Clarke. Descendants include Nathaniel Hawthorne, Julia Ward Howe

Sarah Cogswell (1645-1692). She married Simon Tuttle. Descendants include William Hickling Prescott, Erskine Hamilton Childers

Notes


Johannes Fedé

Johannes Fedé (also Jean Sohier) (c. 1415 – 1477?) was a French composer of the early Renaissance.  While he was mentioned by Eloy d'Amerval as one of the greatest composers of the age, and resident in Paradise, relatively few of his works have survived.  He was a contemporary of Johannes Ockeghem, and spent his life in the Burgundian Netherlands, France and Italy.

Life
Fedé was probably from the region of Artois, most likely from Douai, based on the presence of several possible relatives of his at Cambrai Cathedral, several of whom had "of Douai" appended to their names.  From 1439 to 1440 he was vicar at St. Amé in Douai.  By 1443 he had gone to Italy, a region which was to become a common destination for composers from northern Europe for the next one hundred fifty years:  Fedé sang in the papal chapel in Rome.  From July 1445 to March 1446 he worked in Ferrara, at the court chapel of Leonello d'Este.  Fedé thus was one of the earliest composers from northern Europe to work in Ferrara, a rich center of artistic patronage, which was to become a center of musical innovation for the remainder of the Renaissance.

Later in 1446 he was back in Cambrai, working as "petit vicar" at the cathedral there.  He did not stay long, for by 1449 he was in Paris, employed by the Ste Chapelle as a chaplain, where he stayed until 1450, and in 1451 he was part of the chapel of Charles VII (Charles d'Orléans).  After the death of Charles in 1461 (and a 10-year gap in his record), Fedé served in the chapel of Queen Marie d'Anjou, until she died in 1463.  In 1466 he likely returned to Italy briefly, for his name appears in the rolls of the singers at St. Peter's in Rome, but he probably returned to France shortly thereafter.  Three other employment records remain in France:  a payment note at Ste Chapelle in Bourges in 1472-1473, another at the royal chapel of Louis XI in 1473, and a series of payments between 1472 and 1477 at the Ste Chapelle in Paris.  Fedé probably died in Paris in 1477, since the payments stopped then, but no exact record of his death remains.

Music and influence
Fedé wrote both sacred and secular music, but only a few pieces have survived of what may have been a substantial output, based on his reputation, and his appearance as one of the great composers of the age in Eloy's massive 1508 poem, which listed the composers resident in Heaven.  Several two-voice settings of the Magnificat by Fedé survive in manuscripts preserved at Ferrara.  Some of his secular pieces, a rondeau and two virelai, survive in a chansonnier from Nivelles, but were not recovered until the development of ultraviolet document-recovery technology in 1984, for most of them had been carefully erased.  The apparent deliberate eradication of only Fedé's music from this collection suggests that the original owner of the book either did not care for the composer or the music.

Stylistically his music is typical of French music of the middle 15th century, including the use of fauxbourdon, but no focused scholarly analysis has yet been performed on his five compositions with reliable attribution.

Jacob Levy

Jacob Meyer Levy (Hebrew: יעקב מאיר לוי Ya'akov Me'ir Levi; May 14, 1894 – September 8, 1956) was an Israeli educator, historian, translator and writer.

Biography

Born in the Ukrainian village of Nesolon (then in the Russian Empire) to a religious Jewish family.  At the early age of 12 he was studying at the Novograd-Volynsky Yeshiva (usually attended by much older students) but at the age of 19 he became an ardent Zionist and immigrated to Ottoman Palestine.
In 1914 he enrolled at the Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium, where he studied for two years (grades X and XI).  In 1916, presented with the choice of becoming an Ottoman citizen or being deported back to Ukraine, he chose the former and was promptly drafted into the Ottoman army and sent, along with his classmates, to officers' school in Istanbul. Following World War I he led a school for abandoned children, war orphans in Turkey. In 1925, after completing his studies at the Sorbonne in Paris, he was invited by the Jewish Consistory of Bulgaria to be the superintendent of the Jewish schools in Bulgaria. At the end of his term he returned to Paris to continue his studies and in 1935 received his PhD in educational psychology from the Sorbonne.  In addition to education-related essays published in professional journals such as "Hed Hachinuch" (הד החינוך), he published short stories (under the pseudonym "Aaron Aharoni") in the most important Hebrew periodicals of the period: Y.H. Brenner's "HaAdamah" (האדמה), Joseph Klausner's "HaShiloach" (השילוח) and Jacob Fichman's "Ma-abarot" (מעברות).

Between 1938 and 1956 he was the editor of "Hachinuch" (החינוך) –  the Pedagogy and Psychology quarterly of the Israeli Teachers Association and during that time he published many books, including "Israel Ba-Amim" ("Israel Among the Nations") – a series of history textbooks used extensively in Israeli schools, especially in the kibbutz movement.  He was an editor of the Encyclopedia Chinuchit" (Educational Encyclopedia אנציקלופדיה חינוכית) and published a series of teacher training books – "Guides" to elementary school grades.
His children:  From his first wife Shoshana Taborovsky-Tavor) a son: Amnon (1918–1995) and from his second wife Shoshana Itygin a son: Avinoam (B. 1945).

His work

Dr. Jacob Levy published numerous books. The most important ones among them: a series of history textbooks (in five volumes) and the translation of four of French-Jewish philosopher Henri Bergson's books into Hebrew.

In writing his history textbooks, Dr. Levy's viewpoint was that studying historical dates is less important that learning the processes that led to historical events.  Indeed, in his series "Israel among the nations" one could hardly find dates and history is told in a narrative, compelling way.

Joseph Genualdi

Joseph Genualdi is an American violinist.

Early life and education
The son of professional musicians, Genualdi was born in Clinton, Iowa, and grew up in Connecticut. His formal training began at age 11 with Broadus Erle. Three years later he enrolled at The North Carolina School of the Arts studying violin with Vartan Manoogian. Upon graduation, he was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music where he continued his violin studies with Jascha Brodsky and Ivan Galamian. During his years at Curtis he formed a lifelong friendship with Felix Galimir.

Career
At age 22 Genualdi won an audition to serve as associate concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony; it was during this time that he became a founding member and first violinist of the Muir Quartet. Under the aegis of the Wardwell Fellowship at Yale University, the Muir captured international attention by winning first prize in 1980 at Le Concours d'Evian and also the 1981 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award. Their performance at the White House was featured on national television. With pianist Jean-Philippe Collard, the Muir Quartet (with Genualdi as first violin) won the Grand Prix du Disque for their recording of the César Franck piano quintet.

In addition to his participation in the Muir Quartet, Joseph Genualdi has been violinist of the Los Angeles Piano Quartet, a founding member of the Chicago String Quartet, and artistic director for seventeen years of the Chicago Chamber Musicians, with which organization he remains an active member.

Genualdi has participated in many festivals including Spoleto (Italy), Ravinia, Taos, Affinis (Japan), Kneisel Hall, Euro Arts, Bravo Colorado, Angel Fire, Nîmes (France), and Cheltenham. But his most enduring affiliation was with the Marlboro Festival and Rudolf Serkin, a guiding influence on his career. His other mentors have included Menahem Pressler, Oscar Shumsky, Raphael Hillyer and Mieczysław Horszowski.

An enthusiastic and devoted teacher, Genualdi has served on the faculties of Yale University, the University of Oregon, DePaul University, California State University—Northridge  – The University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He has taught summers at the Taos School of Music, Kneisel Hall, and the Euro Arts Festival in Leipzig, Germany. He is currently Professor of Violin at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance.

A longtime supporter of new music, Joseph Genualdi has worked closely with numerous composers: Pierre Boulez, George Perle, John Harbison, David Del Tredici, Ned Rorem, William Bolcom, Ellen Taaffe Zwillich, Aaron Jay Kernis, Steven Stucky, Richard Wilson, Bernard Rands, John Corigliano, and Peter Lieberson – among many others. He is featured on twelve commercially available CDs on such labels as EMI, Musical Heritage Society, Sony Classics, Albany Records, Cedille Records, Music Masters-Pickwick, and Naxos.

Genualdi, who won first prize in the Hudson Valley Philharmonic International String Competition, continues his career as soloist in frequent concerto performances and duo recitals.

In August, 2012, Genualdi joined the faculty of the University of Missouri - Kansas City Conservatory as Professor of Violin.


Johann Jacob Friedrich Krebs

Johann Jacob Friedrich Krebs, commonly known as Friedrich Krebs (c.1749 - 1815) was an American fraktur artist. He was the most prolific of the Pennsylvania German fraktur artists.

Born in Zierenberg, Hesse, Krebs was one of the Hessians who fought under the British crown during the American Revolutionary War. It has been reported that he returned to Germany, but this is uncertain, and it seems more likely that he remained in the United States at the conclusion of the war. In 1787 he established a business purchasing pre-printed baptismal records which he would then further embellish for sale; eventually he had forms of his own printed, many in Reading, Pennsylvania. He painted many handmade examples as well. The majority of his work consists of baptismal certificates, but he produced many other pieces as well. These include drawings of various sacred and secular subjects; broadsides of Adam and Eve, used as marriage certificates; mazes; a clock face; and handboxes. During his career he was also active as a Lutheran schoolmaster in the vicinity of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He died in Dauphin County, in Swatara Township, leaving behind hundreds of blank forms for his executors to sell, as well as others that he had himself decorated.

Examples of frakturs by or attributed to Krebs may be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Winterthur Museum; the Library of Congress; and the Phillips Museum of Art at Franklin and Marshall College.

Mesurado River

Mesurado River is a river of Liberia. It flows through the capital of Monrovia and is crossed by the People’s Bridge, built in the 1970s.


The Paper Province

The Paper Province is a business cluster for the pulp and paper industry in Värmland, northern Dalsland and the county of Örebro in central Sweden. It is focussed on encouraging collaboration on marketing, skills development, procurement, project development and regional growth. The cluster organization is owned and operated by its 90 member companies, from global giants to local suppliers, representing the entire value chain.

History
Business history in Värmland and the surrounding area is strongly influenced by the region's natural wealth. Successful exploitation of the forest started early, and already in the mid-19th century there were more than 50 pulp and paper mills in the region. This attracted both skills and suppliers to the region. Much the technology used and installed in pulp and paper mills throughout the world still originates here.

At the end of the 1990s the pulp and paper industry was facing severe structural challenges. To meet these needs, seven companies, together with Karlstad’s county and other public bodies, formed the cluster organization 'The Paper Province'. The number of member companies has grown to 90 with over 9,000 employees and annual sales of approximately SEK 17 billion, of which 13.5 billion contributes to Sweden’s net exports. In this, the member companies represent a significant part of the region's economy, with effects on both the regional and national economy.

Milestones
 In 1999 the cluster organization The Paper Province was established.
 In 2004 The Paper Province established The Packaging Greenhouse, an independent and commercial R&D centre featuring a pilot machine and laboratories. Companies from across the world apply to the centre to test new products and services within the packaging industry. The research resources within the region is strengthened by Karlstad University and seven businesses operated R&D centres focusing on pulp and paper.
 In 2007, The Paper Province launched The Energy Square, the world’s first international centre for energy efficiency in the pulp and paper industry. Its aim is to simplify the process for developing new products and services that reduce energy consumption within the global pulp and paper industry. The Energy Square has a strong international appeal and co-operates with, among others, the China National Pulp & Paper Research Institute (CNPPRI).
 In 2007 The Paper Province was appointed one of Europe's most innovative clusters in a survey including more than 2,100 European clusters. The survey was conducted by the European Cluster Observatory, which works on behalf of the European Commission).

Collaboration
The Paper Province collaborates with a variety of partners to retain and enhance the competitiveness of the pulp and paper industry. In addition to the member companies, this includes universities and a variety of public actors, such as municipalities, 'Region Värmland', VINNOVA and the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket).

For several years, 'Region Värmland' has carried out independent surveys measuring the performance of The Paper Province and its impact on member companies. The 2009 survey showed that the member companies found that their participation resulted in increased collaboration, new products and services, increased sales and new job creation.


Brian MacArt O'Neill

Brian MacArt O'Neill was a member of the O'Neill Dynasty, the leading Gaelic family of Ulster. He was the son and heir of Art MacBaron O'Neill of Oneilland and a grandson of Matthew O'Neill, 1st Baron Dungannon. He may have taken part in Tyrone's Rebellion, a conflict in which several of his brothers were killed. Along with the rest of his family he was pardoned as part of the Treaty of Mellifont in 1603.

In 1607 he was arrested on a charge of murder. Because it was unlikely that a jury in County Armagh, where many people remained frightened of the O'Neills, would convict him it was decided to try him in Dublin instead. Despite attempts by his powerful and influential uncle Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone to have him pardoned the sentence was still set to be carried out. Tyrone reportedly offered a bribe of £500 to secure his release, which was refused.

The steadfast refusal of the Viceroy of Ireland Sir Arthur Chichester to overturn the death sentence, convinced Tyrone that his power was being weakened despite his generally good relations with James I in London. This was a factor in his decision to take part in the Flight of the Earls which took him into exile in Italy. The Earl's departure sealed the fate of Brian who was hanged on the reduced charge of manslaughter.

Three of his brothers served as mercenaries in the Spanish Army. The best-known of them was Owen Roe O'Neill.

Charlotte Riefenstahl

Charlotte Houtermans  born: Charlotte Riefenstahl (24 May 1899 in Bielefeld, Germany – 6 January 1993 in Northfield, Minnesota, United States ) was a German physicist.

Education
Riefenstahl began her studies at the Georg-August University of Göttingen in 1922, where her teachers included, among others, Max Born, Richard Courant, James Franck, David Hilbert, Emmy Noether, Robert Pohl, and Carl Runge.  She received her doctorate under Gustav Heinrich Johann Apollon Tammann in 1927, the same year as Robert Oppenheimer, under Born, and Fritz Houtermans, under Franck.  She was courted by both Oppenheimer and Houtermans.

Career
Riefenstahl taught and was a research assistant at Vassar College, later at Winthrop College.

In 1930, Riefenstahl left Vassar and went back to Germany. During a physics conference at the Black Sea resort of Batumi, Riefenstahl and Houtermans were married in August 1930, with Wolfgang Pauli and Rudolf Peierls as witnesses to the ceremony. (Three other references cite the year as being 1931.)
After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, Charlotte Houtermans insisted that they leave Germany.  They went to Great Britain, near Cambridge. Max von Laue was the last to send them off, as he entrusted Charlotte with messages for friends abroad. In 1935, Charlotte and Fritz left England for the Soviet Union, as Fritz accepted a job in Khar’kov.  In 1937, he was arrested by the NKVD and imprisoned. Charlotte managed to escape to Denmark and eventually went back to England and then on to the United States.

From 1940 she taught at Wellesley College.

Charlotte was the first and third wife to Fritz Houtermans in four marriages.  They were divorced in 1943, due to a new law in Germany and enforced wartime separation.  They were again married in August 1953, with Pauli again standing as a witness; the marriage ended after only a few months. They had two children during their first marriage, Giovanna and Jan.

Japanese white crucian carp

The Japanese white crucian carp, also known as Japanese carp, white crucian carp, or gengoro-buna  (Carassius cuvieri), is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family (family Cyprinidae). It is found in Japan and, as an introduced species, in several other countries in Asia. This fish is closely related to the commonly known goldfish.

Description
This is a medium fish, growing up to 50 cm, with a broad head and a blunt snout. The lips are fleshy, and lacking barbels. The body is deep and laterally compressed, with a distinctly humped back. The scales are large and cycloid in shape, with a complete lateral line. Serration is present on the last ray of the dorsal and anal fins, and the caudal fin is forked.

Taxonomy
The Japanese white crucian carp was formerly considered a subspecies of wild goldfish, and was classified as C. auratus cuvieri. It has now been elevated to species rank, however some authors are in disagreement. Genetic studies using mitochondrial DNA indicate that this species diverged from the ancestral form approximately one million years ago, during the early Pleistocene.

The original wild species unique to Lake Biwa is called . Fossil pharyngeal teeth that appear to belong to ancestral form of Japanese white crucian carp have been found in the upper part of the Katata Formation, derived from sediment layers of the former Paleo-lake Katata, on the southwest shore of Lake Biwa.

Distribution and habitat

Historically, the Japanese white crucian carp was endemic to Lake Biwa, as well as the connected Yodo River system, in Japan. However, it has been introduced to Taiwan and Korea. In South Korea initial introductions were the result of stocking by government agencies. Subsequently, the species has also been spread through the Buddhist practice of "life releasing", in which animals destined for slaughter are instead released into the wild.

Possession of this species without a permit is prohibited in the state of Vermont.

It is a freshwater fish, preferring still or slow moving waters, and occurs at depths up to 20 meters. Typical habitats include lakes, canals, and backwaters.

Feeding, diet, and related information

An omnivorous species, Japanese white crucian carp feed on a variety foods, including algae, phytoplankton, macrophytes, and invertebrates, such as insects and crustaceans. During the larval stage, zooplankton comprise the primary food source. Upon reaching 1.8 cm the young fish form schools and move offshore to feed on phytoplankton. Phytoplankton remains the primary food source through adulthood. This is reflected in the unique structure of their pharyngeal teeth, which are specialized to feed on phytoplankton.

Reproduction

Spawning occurs from April to June, and takes place in areas of aquatic vegetation, including reed beds. Some individuals will migrate into connected satellite water bodies in order to spawn. Larvae and juveniles tend to remain close to spawning areas.

Importance to humans

Japanese white crucian carp, as well as other crucian carp species, are the target of an established local fishing industry on Lake Biwa. It is being used as a substitute for the depleted stock of nigoro-buna in the preparation of the intense-smelling fermented local dish funazushi due to the nigoro-buna's falling numbers.

A larger cultivated variant, with a taller body depth known as , was  developed from the original species, cultured in the Osaka area and now released in many areas of Japan for sport fishing. It is enjoyed for catch-and-release. It is a major carp species in Chinese aquaculture, where it is raised for food.

This species has been identified as an intermediate host of Clinostomum complanatum, a parasitic fluke capable of infecting humans.

Conservation status

The wild species in Lake Biwa is listed as an endangered species in the Japanese Red Data Book. Factors in its decline include water pollution, invasive species, and overfishing.


Seal River (Manitoba)

The Seal River is a river in the Northern Region of Manitoba, Canada.  It travels  from Shethanei Lake to the Hudson Bay. The river was nominated for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System in 1987 and was officially listed in 1992.

Geography
At a length of 260 kilometers (162 mi), the Seal River is one of the four major rivers in Northern Manitoba, and it is the northernmost and only one that contains no dams. Its drainage basin is  in area. The river is far removed from any human populations in the isolated wilderness.  The nearest settlements are Churchill and the small Tadoule Lake.  Churchill is about  south of the mouth of the river along the Hudson Bay, while Tadoule Lake is far inland near the source.  There are no actual settlements or permanent human inhabitants along the Seal River.  The nearest permanent road to connect Seal River to the rest of the Canadian populace is  southwest of the river. While the source of the Seal River is Shethanei Lake, that water comes from the North Seal River and South Seal River, which empty into the lake.  Those two rivers are actually much longer and contain more water than the Seal River.

The river flows through a mix of boreal forests at the southernmost edge of Canada's tundra.  Because it travels through this transition zone, the river travels through dense forests, as well as portions of the barren and rocky subarctic wilderness.  The course of the river is inconsistent and very dangerous to navigate.  The river has no human uses, except for the very few skilled travelers on rafts or canoes who brave the treacherous waters each year.

History
Seal River was nominated for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System in 1987 because of its natural and ecological importance, not its importance to people in the development of the area.  The whole course of the river is entirely undeveloped and far removed from any regular human intervention.  The river is considered one of the last great wild rivers of Canada.

While the river served little use to the early European colonizers of the Hudson Bay region, the river itself served more importance for First Nations many centuries ago.  The first European to navigate the Seal River was Samuel Hearne, who walked the route of the river in 1771.  Early Europeans themselves saw no use for the river, while the only traces of their existence in the area were short-lived mining camps near the mouth of the river that date back only to the 1940s.  While there are few historical remnants of European existence in the area, there are many artifacts belonging to the Chipewyan and even earlier Talteilei tribes.  They regularly came to the river to hunt the vast amounts of caribou.  Traces of First Nation presence in the area dates back up to 7,000 years ago.

Because there are no public travel accommodations near the river, access to the river can only be provided through various far-off airports— in which Churchill Airport and Tadoule Lake Airport are the closest.  The rest of the journey to the river must be hiked.  Charter tour groups of the river and the surrounding area are rare and very expensive.  Because of the extreme isolation of the river and its dangerous topography, very few adventurers travel to the river on a yearly basis.  The rivers owes its preservation to the harsh wilderness, infertile soil, and very cold climate, which have made the area very inhospitable to even the most experienced travelers.

Mitcham Library

Mitcham Library is a public library in Mitcham, England, being one of the libraries of the London Borough of Merton.  It was built in 1933 on land donated by a local builder, Mr Joseph Owen. In April 1932 he donated £4,025 towards its construction.

The original building was  wide and  long, and was built on the London Road in Mitcham, opposite the Holborn Schools. The reference library itself was  by , and the lending library 66 by . Multi-coloured brick with stone facings was used throughout. Over the main entrance are the words, "Mitcham Public Library", neatly carved in the stonework, with stone cornice. Three steps lead to the approach, and a pillar is placed on either side of the entrance. The doors of the library were of Austrian oak. On the left hand side of the vestibule was the newspaper room,  by .

The initial stock of the library consisted of: lending department, 10,000 volumes costing £2,250; reference department, 1,500 volumes costing £750; junior department, 1,000 volumes costing £200.


Brenton Lawrence

Brenton Lawrence (born 29 December 1984) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer. His position of choice was .

Background
Lawrence was born in Mackay, Queensland, Australia.

Early career
Lawrence moved to Adelaide in South Australia when he was only 4 after his father Marty, was posted to the Edinburgh RAAF base in the cities northern suburbs. His family settled in the newly built northern suburb of Andrews Farm and Brenton went on to attend Smithfield Plains High School.

After ignoring calls from his primary school friends to play Australian rules football (the leading winter sport in Adelaide), Lawrence began playing rugby league at the age of nine for the northern Adelaide based club Central Districts Roosters in the South Australian Rugby League. He attributes this decision to his league-loving dad, and because of rugby league's advertising campaign which at the time was led by international pop music artist Tina Turner and her hit song Simply The Best.

Brenton Lawrence was selected to the South Australian Under-15 team in the late 1990s, and in 2002 he toured England and France with the Australian Schoolboys while attending Erindale College in Canberra. The tour was ultimately unsuccessful as the Schoolboys lost a test series on tour to the England Academy for the first time. Among his teammates on tour were a number of future NRL players including Michael Weyman, Keith Galloway, Ben Hannant, Ryan Hoffman, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs, Heath L'Estrange and Jacob Lillyman.

Following the 2002 Schoolboys tour he was signed to a youth contract by the Canberra Raiders at the age of 17. He stayed with the Raiders for five seasons, playing under 18s, under 20s and Reserve Grade, though he did not play first grade for the club.

In 2008 Lawrence captained Woden Valley Rams in the Canberra District Rugby League competition. 2009 saw Lawrence take on the role as Captain/Coach as he led the Rams to the preliminary finals, the team's highest placing in 10 seasons.

Playing career

Gold Coast Titans
After a chance phone call from mate and Burleigh Bears captain Scott Smith, Lawrence relocated to the Gold Coast and played out the remainder of the 2010 Queensland Cup season for the Bears. His impressive form caught the attention of the Gold Coast Titans and he was invited to train with them during the off-season. Brenton begun 2011 back playing with the Burleigh Bears but finally made his NRL debut in round 16 of the 2011 NRL season against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at Skilled Park. Only days later he signed a two-year deal with the Gold Coast Titans. He went on to play nine games for the Gold Coast in his debut season where the club finished with the Wooden Spoon, and doubled that tally by playing a further nine games for the club in 2012.

Manly-Warringah Sea-Eagles
Lawrence signed a two-year deal with Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles from the 2013 NRL season. He made his debut for Manly-Warringah in their 22-14 win over the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium in round 1 of the season. He proved to be a revelation for Manly in his debut year with the club, playing 27 games including the 26-18 loss in the 2013 NRL Grand Final to the Sydney Roosters. His form up front for Manly saw him talked about as a possible selection in Australia's 2013 Rugby League World Cup squad, though he ultimately missed selection.

In early 2014, despite being 29 years of age, he was included in Queensland's emerging talent squad and he has been touted as a possible State of Origin selection for the Maroons in 2014. Queensland born Lawrence, who spent most of his time growing up in Adelaide, declared himself a Queenslander in 2013 and this was confirmed when he met the NRL's new criteria for Origin selection which states a player had to be born in either state or living in either before the age of 13.

Lawrence, who at the time was reportedly the fastest player at Manly-Warringah over 40 metres, scored his first try for the club in their round 6 win over the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at Brookvale Oval on 13 April 2014. His performances for Manly in 2014 saw him win the club's Best and Fairest and Clubman of the Year awards. He was also rewarded with selection in the Prime Minister's XIII for their annual end of season clash with the Papua New Guinea Kumuls.

Lawrence's 2015 NRL season proved to be a disaster both personally and for Manly who missed the finals for the first time since 2004. A back injury suffered early in the opening round against Parramatta saw him sidelined for much of the season. He returned late in the year to play a few games for Manly in the NSW Cup competition (reserve grade), though a knee injury and further injury to his back required season ending surgery.

Return to the Gold Coast
At the beginning of the 2017 NRL season, Lawrence was released by the Manly club forcing him into free agency, however he quickly attracted the attention of the NRL with the Newcastle Knights and his former club the Gold Coast Titans both approaching him with promising deals. Despite Newcastle having the advantage for most of the race, Lawrence agreed to join the Titans on a two-year deal that began in the 2018 NRL season.  In November 2017, Lawrence announced his retirement from rugby league.

António Inocêncio Moreira de Carvalho

António Inocêncio Moreira de Carvalho CvA • GOC (Lisbon, 6 January 1894 — Lisbon, 12 September 1942) was Portuguese military officer, whose military career propelled him into various political positions within the Estado Novo of Portugal, including specifically the Civil Governor of the District of Horta.

Biography
Although born in Lisbon, António de Carvalho was linked by familial descent to the island of Faial.

Career
He began his military career as a volunteer in 1911, joining the 4th Cavalry Regiment in Lisbon. By 1916 he was promoted to militia ensign, concluding the course in the Practical School of Militia Officers () and participated in classes in the Instituto Industrial e Comercial de Lisboa (Lisbon Industrial and Commercial Institute).

In 1918, during a period in the Guarda Nacional Republicana (National Republican Guard) he was involved in the maintenance of the regime of the First Portuguese Republic, and was promoted by 1919 to the position of lieutenant in the militia.

He became adjunct-to-camp of various generals, and in 1926 became an attaché. Following 1929 he was involved in the Polícia de Segurança Pública commission, and nominated commandant of the police for the District of Setúbal, a position he held from 1 April 1929 to 21 March 1939. During this time he was responsible for repressing labour movements in Setúbal and other localities in the district, particularly in 1939, when he pursued fugitives from the Spanish Civil War. He was decorated for his services and in 1938 he was promoted to captain in the Portuguese Military.

Civil Governor
For his loyalty to the Estado Novo regime, he was nominated to the position of Civil Governor to the District of Horta after a visit by Marcelo Caetano to the Azores, at the time responsible for elaborating a new political status for the autonomous districts of the Ilhas Adjacentes. By 1940, the districts were transformed into autonomous districts, an privileging the westernmost islands with the administrative autonomy that already existed in the other islands.

He was installed in the position on 17 March 1939, a few months before the outbreak of the Second World War in the Ministry of the Interior, in the presence of Dr. Mário Pais de Sousa. The islands position was central in external politics during this period, to the point that an Expeditionary Corp was sent to secure the sovereignty of Portuguese territory. He arrived on board the packet steamer Carvalho Araújo and received in a formal reception on 29 April.

Of his term as civil governor there is a general consensus that he was a positive successor of the previous politician in the position, as noted in the opinion piece "Dois Homens" (Two Men), M.  da Costa Melo:
"...Moreira de Carvalho was a dignified successor to captain Silva Mendes. In his path in Work, Justice and Truth, he completed the work started and completed his own...[accomplishing]...a weighted pacification policy".
His functions as Civil Governor occurred during a period of great change in the administrative district, a period of great social tension and politics that resulted in Horta becoming a strategic point for the submarine cables and a port for international replenishment. This opinion that governor Moreira de Carvalho was a pacificator in a district that lived in a period of tension was reinforced by Dr. José Joaquim Gomes Belo, then rector of the Horta Lyceum, when he took up his post:
"...does not offset the assertion that for this peace [which you can enjoy here now] and who all play an active role, we must not fail to recognize that it was he your great worker. It was he who was able to bring together and give conscience to our desires and to live without hardships that overlapped the saturation and fatigue brought on by struggles woven of a lack of understanding, of injured vanities or malnourished pride."
As Gomes Belo put it, Carvalho' s three years in office were "three years of peace", and that they "require our gratitude", referring to the populous of the district. His term occurred following the outbreak of the Second World War, and Portuguese neutrality meant that Horta acted between Allies and Axis forces (and their forces regularly transited the waters or competed in anti-submarine tactics). At the same time, an influx of Portuguese troops on the islands meant that economic conditions worsened, driving a wedge between locals and continentals.  He was able to maintain the peace and stability that allowed President Óscar Carmona to visit the district.

Later life
Shortly after the President's visit to the district, Moreira do Carvalho began to journey between Lisbon and Terceira due to ailments, which were respectively reported by the local newspapers. By 23 July 1942, he embarked on a Pan American flight with his family for Lisbon, "...searching for the best treatments for his failing health...": at the time of his absence was considered a permanent. He died in Lisbon shortly after (on 12 September 1942) from his continuing medical condition: he was only 48 years old. A year earlier, his administration named a group of residential homes alongside the public garden as Bairro Moreira de Carvalho, that then pertained to the Albergue de Mendicidade da Horta  . Although constructed of wood, the small neighbourhood survived until the 20th century, and later became a reference in the local toponymy.

For his efforts to squelch the labour movement in Setúbal and capture of Spanish republican fugitives, he was awarded Knight in the Military Order of Avis (5 October 1929) and Grand-Official in the Military Order of Christ (19 November 1941).


Jean Ure

Jean Ure (1943) is an English children's author.  Her first book, Dance For Two (1960) was published by John Goodchild Publishers when she was sixteen and still at school. Since then she has published over 170 children's books., including the stories of Frankie Foster.  She lives with her husband in Croydon, Surrey.

Background
Jean Ure was born and brought up in a suburb of London and attended school in Croydon. She wrote her first book when she was six years old and had her first book, Dance For Two published when she was sixteen.  Having decided to make a career as a writer, she ran away from school and spent the next few years in a variety of jobs just to make a living.  She waited tables, scrubbed floors, sold bread at Woolworths, did "...a bit of nursing, a bit of translating, a bit of cooking..." before enrolling to study drama at the Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art (1965-8). She married a fellow student, Leonard Gregory, in 1967.

She lives in a 300-year-old house in Croydon, south of London. Her most famous novel is the Point Crime novel Dance with Death. Her other novels include Plague 99, After the Plague (previously published as "Come Lucky April"), Big Tom, Family Fan Club and Shrinking Violet as well as the fantasy novel The Wizard In the Woods. Jean has now become very popular with female teenage readers around Britain with novels such as Shrinking Violet, Family Fan Club and Passion Flower, as well as many other novels.

Ure's novel, Secret Meeting, publicises the danger of chat rooms and the internet. Another of her novels, Is Anybody There? talks about the danger of going off with strangers. In a 2006 survey in UK girls magazine Mizz, they noted that Jean Ure, Jacqueline Wilson and J. K. Rowling were the most famous female authors in the United Kingdom. Ure has no children and lives with her partner and many animals in her London home. She says that writing her stories on her computer, drives her 'bonkers'.

Ure has written several books for teenage girls about boys, such as 'Love and Kisses' which is about a sensible girl who falls for an unsuitable boy and starts lying to her parents in order to see him. Also, many of her books deal with divorce, such as Passion Flower, a book about two girls who are sent to stay with their dad for the summer holidays.

Ure also translated novels of World War II writer Sven Hassel from his Danish to English.

Gebeachan

Gebeachan (died 937), also known as Gébennach, and Gebechán, was a tenth-century King of the Isles. He seems to have been a subordinate to Amlaíb mac Gofraid, King of Dublin, and is recorded to have fought and died at the Battle of Brunanburh in 937.

Career

Gebeachan was slain in 937 at the Battle of Brunanburh, a remarkably bloody affair fought by Æðelstan, King of the English on one side, and Amlaíb mac Gofraid, King of Dublin, Custantín mac Áeda, King of Alba, and Owain ap Dyfnwal, King of Strathclyde on the other. According to a poem preserved by the ninth to twelfth-century Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Æðelstan's opponents suffered greatly, with five kings, seven earls, and "countless of the raiding-army of Seamen and Scots" amongst their dead. As for Gebeachan, his fall in this conflict is attested by a single source, a seventeenth-century translation of the now lost Annals of Clonmacnoise. The original translator of this source, Conall Mac Eochagáin, is known to have incorporated his own comments and material into his translation. Since the original version no longer exists, it is uncertain what information is accurately interpreted and what originates from Mac Eochagáin himself. Nevertheless, this source styles Gebeachan "king of the Islands", a royal title that appears to be a translated form of the Gaelic rí Innse Gall, and is otherwise first recorded in 989.

"Gebeachan", the name that the Annals of Clonmacnoise ascribes to him, seems to represent either the Gaelic Gebechán, Giblechán, or Gébennach (the latter two attested by the fifteenth- to sixteenth-century Annals of Ulster in 890 and 973 respectively). Another possibility is that the name is derived from gebech, a word for a type of craftsman. Alternately, Gebeachan's name could be derived from a nickname referring to fetters or bondages. Whatever the case, the name is clearly Gaelic, which indicates that Gebeachan was unlikely to have been from Orkney, and more probably centred in the southern Hebrides.

There is reason to suspect that Gebeachan may have been a subordinate of Amlaíb, a monarch styled "king of the Irish and the many islands" by the twelfth-century Chronicon ex chronicis. If so, Gebeachan's obituary would be evidence of Uí Ímair authority in the Isles in the 930s and 940s. In fact, Gebeachan's attested title suggests that he was one of the five reguli, noted by the Chronicon ex chronicis, who are stated to have fallen supporting Amlaíb at Brunanburh. Amlaíb himself died in 941. In an entry following his death, the twelfth-century Chronicon Scotorum records that Muirchertach mac Néill, King of Ailech raided "the Isles of Alba" in an annal-entry that seems to refer to the southern Hebrides. This notice may have bearing on Gebeachan's apparent cooperation with Amlaíb, and appears to show that opponents of the Uí Ímair seized the initiative on his death.

Also in 941, the seventeenth-century Annals of the Four Masters reports that a chieftain named Áed Albanach was slain amongst a vast host of Dublin Vikings by the invading forces of Amargein mac Cináeda, overking of Uí Failge. The fact that Áed bore a Gaelic personal name, died with the Dubliners, and bore an epithet referring to a Scotsman, could be evidence that he was a successor of Gebeachan. Further evidence of this may be the record of Mór, a woman attested by the twelfth-century pseudo-historical Caithréim Chellacháin Chaisil, which identifies her as a daughter of a certain Áed mac Echach, and describes her as the daughter of a King of the Hebrides.

Kamroze Mohammed

Kamroze Mohammed (born 6 January 1951) is a former Guyanese cricketer who played a single first-class match for Essequibo in the final of the 1980–81 inter-county Jones Cup.

Born in Vergenoegen in what was then British Guiana (now part of Guyana's Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region), Mohammed opened the batting with Fitz Garraway in both innings of the match, played against Berbice at the Kayman Sankar Cricket Ground in Hampton Court (on the Atlantic coast). He scored seven runs in the first innings, before being dismissed by Reginald Etwaroo leg before wicket. In the second innings, he was out for a duck, caught by Amarnauth Ramcharitar off the bowling of Kamal Singh. Mohammed was one of only two Essequibo players to record ducks in the match, with the other being fast bowler and number-eleven batsman Courtney Gonsalves, who recorded a pair. He was one of two players from Vergenoegen in the match, the other being Malcolm Williams.

Berbice won the match by nine wickets in what was Essequibo's only first-class match – only the final of the three-team Jones Cup (later the Guystac Trophy) was accorded first-class status, and Essequibo made the final only once, having defeated Demerara in an earlier match. The scorecards of the non-first-class matches played by Essequibo are not available before the late 1990s, and it is therefore uncertain how Mohammed played for Essequibo (if at all) in earlier matches.

AU (band)

AU was a Portland, Oregon experimental pop group established by multi-instrumentalist Luke Wyland.  Wyland started AU in 2005 while completing a degree at the Massachusetts College of Art. He later moved cross-country to Portland and established a base in its music community. Now a working live band, AU features an ever-changing roster of players, recently including Jonathan Sielaff (Parenthetical Girls, Nick Jaina) on guitar, clarinets and saw; and Dana Valatka (Mustaphamond) on drums.  Contributors to AU's recordings included Mark Kaylor (Hamor of Hathor, CexFucx), Becky Dawson (Saw Whet, Ah Holly Fam’ly), and Sarah Winchester (A Weather).

Its self-titled debut album was praised by such media centers as Pitchfork and Stereogum, and was named #2 Portland Album of 2007 by The Portland Mercury, which said AU “manages to erase the high art/low art boundary between American contemporary classical music and American pop music, blending them into a simple, compelling, verse-chorus celebration... (and) is the rare band that can reinvent its songs live and still manage to match their recorded quality."

Wyland has recorded, produced and released 4 recordings as AU. AU - Au (2007). AU - Verbs (2008). AU - Versions (2009). AU - Both Lights (2012).

Royal Guard of Albania

The Royal Albanian Guard () was from 1928 till 1939 and was part of the Royal Albanian Army.

Structure

In April 1939 this reportedly had a strength of 926 officers and men.
"ceremonial" company
infantry battalion
Hqs
4 rifle companies
artillery battery
cavalry squadron (extrapolated from a film footage of a parade about 1938)
Hqs
3-4 troops
officer
2 sections
9 troopers
Royal Band
Depot

The infantry battalion was reported as having 21 officers, 37 officers and 422 corporals and guardsmen, but note this is the strength of the light establishment infantry battalion. A strength of 562 was reported in the late Thirties. In April 1939 the Italians found in five companies (including the ceremonial?)
28 officers (4 Italian)
6 senior NCO ("marescialli")
48 sergeants
522 corporals and guardsmen

The artillery battery is given in Albanian sources as
4 officers
8 NCO
140 guardsmen
59 horses
4 x  Skoda 75mm L/13 mountain guns

The cavalry squadron is given in various sources as 71-91 officers and men, up from a single troop of about 32 in the late Twenties.

When the band was incorporated into the Italian army it had 34 members and the depot, 1 officer and 39 men.

Half the army appeared to be deployed around Tiranë to protect the central government from civil unrest, and the Royal Guard to protect the King from assassination and military coups. Different sources report that the guard was recruited in the south (Greek Orthodox, as opposed to the Muslims that inhabited the Tiranë region), or in the north (the Mahti region, Muslim, but also King Zog's home and power base), and the Italians re-organized the Guard into a battalion with two oversize companies ("North" in trousered uniforms and "South", kilted as the Greek Evzones).  It is probable that two infantry companies were from the south and two from the north, with the ceremonial company having contingents from both.

Whatcom Peak

Whatcom Peak () is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. Whatcom Peak is  north of Challenger Glacier and the Whatcom Glacier descends from the northeast slopes of the peak. An unnamed hanging glacier descends along the northwest flank of the peak.

Climate
Whatcom Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades. As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Due to its temperate climate and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, areas west of the Cascade Crest very rarely experience temperatures below  or above . During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high avalanche danger.

Geology

The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, spires, ridges, and deep glacial valleys. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.

The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.

During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris. The "U"-shaped cross section of the river valleys are a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

History
Established in early 1942 as a C-47 Skytrain transport squadron under First Air Force, later trained under I Troop Carrier Command in the eastern United States. Deployed to England in December 1942, being assigned to VIII Air Support Command, Eighth Air Force to provide transport and resupply support to the buildup of the heavy bomber force in England.
