Zerah Eidlitz
Moses Zerah Eidlitz (Hebrew: אברהם משה זרח איידליץ; before 1725 – May 17, 1786) was an Austrian Talmudist. Eidlitz operated a Talmud school from his residence. Besides teaching his pupils free of charge, he extended financial assistance to them, ultimately leading to his own impoverishment. Still, Eidlitz continued to pay the same Jew-tax assigned to him when he was more prosperous. It was only when he became actually unable to pay the required sum that he relented to the pleas of his friends, and stated his case to the primator Israel Frankl. Eidlitz, however, declined the roll of ducats that Frankl sent him. To compel the rabbi to accept the financial aid, Frankl asserted that he could not waive the tax if Eidlitz could afford to reject such a sum, and the rabbi ultimately acquiesced. After his death, a roll of ducats was discovered among his possessions, accompanied by a note instructing his family to return the money to Frankl. Eidlitz wrote מלאכת החשבון (Prague, 1775), a manual of arithmetic in Hebrew, and אור לישרים (Prague, 1785), a collection of haggadic discourses.

Stanley Draper
Stanley Carlisle Draper (November 21, 1889 – January 8, 1976) was an American community leader responsible for the growth of Oklahoma City into a regional power during the mid-20th century. Together with Edward K. Gaylord, and other prominent members of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, he was able to shape the city into its present form. He was instrumental in the creation of Tinker Air Force Base, the Federal Aviation Administration Center, Will Rogers World Airport, Lake Hefner, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, and many infrastructure projects key to establishing Oklahoma City as a transportation hub. Lake Stanley Draper holds his namesake after his plan for a reservoir near Tinker Air Force Base came to fruition. He was known for his sometimes utopian and superfluous ideas on city planning, resulting in massive annexations of the area surrounding the city. One of his failed visions included an attempt to expand the city borders across the state to Tulsa, Oklahoma creating an Oklahoma megalopolis. This led to Oklahoma City growing to become one of the largest cities in the United States by land area. Draper was born on a farm in Lasker, North Carolina. His family was of Scotch-Irish descent and he was one of nine children. He earned a certificate of teaching before attending Shenandoah University. After graduation, he enrolled at The University of Chicago before dropping out to enlist in the United States Army during World War 1. Draper arrived in Oklahoma City after being discharged from the Army in 1919. His arrival in the city was prompted by a job offer to help lead the struggling Chamber of Commerce. One of his first matter of business was relocating the cluttered railroad tracks downtown and securing funds to build a grand Union Station. This station still stands on the grounds of the modern-day Scissortail Park. He further expanded Oklahoma City's access to other major cities by securing federal funds to build freeways through the city. One such freeway was a route from El Paso, Texas to Buffalo, New York, today's U.S. Route 62, which would become the basis for two future cross-country interstate highways. He spent many of his summers living in Washington D.C. lobbying for federal funds and establish connections with Washington elites. His connections were used to great effect as he nearly singlehandedly convinced the Federal Government to change aviation routes to fly through Oklahoma City's new airport. While the United States Air Force was deciding between Wichita, Kansas, and Oklahoma City for the site of a new base just after the conclusion of World War 2. Draper used private and public funds to buy land around Midwest Air Depot while offering massive incentives to the Air Force. Reports state that he was even responsible for bailing out unruly Air Force officials from prison and ensuring records of their offenses were erased from the public record. Oklahoma City ultimately won the bid to build the new base. Today, Tinker Air Force Base is the largest single-site employer in Oklahoma with over 55,000 jobs that can be attributed to the base. Draper was known as a master of publicity who would stage public stunts such as the New Land Run which was a demonstration of the Land Rush of 1889 to draw in tourism. Such demonstrations were vital in the establishment of Oklahoma City as a convention hub during the mid-20th century. One of his wilder ideas for the city was to make an artificial mountain near downtown that would serve as a focal point for the city's image. He retired from the Chamber of Commerce in 1968 after several decades and positions within the organization. He continued to advocate for the city until his death. Draper died of heart failure on January 8, 1976, at St. Anthony's Hospital in Oklahoma City. His half-century-plus dedication to Oklahoma City was instrumental in the massive growth that the city saw during the middle part of the 20th century. The city nearly quadrupled during his life with much of today's growth being directly attributed to his labor and ruthless dedication to improving the economic opportunities of the city. Many critics accuse Draper of using dictatorial tactics to supersede the state and municipal governments to accomplish his visions. He used his political and media connections to raise funds that government entities couldn't while suppressing any negative discourse about his actions in the papers and radio. His supporters claim these tactics were essential in the creation of a modern metropolitan area and are the sole reason for Oklahoma City's current cultural and economic stature within the United States.

Thorium(IV) bromide
Thorium(IV) bromide is an inorganic compound, with the chemical formula of ThBr4. Thorium(IV) bromide can be obtained by reacting thorium dioxide, bromine and carbon at 800~900 °C. This method produces a mixture of alpha and beta forms of thorium bromide. The pure α-form product is obtained by heating the mixture at 330~375 °C for a long time. The pure β form is obtained by heating the product to 470 °C and then rapidly cooling it in ice water. Thorium(IV) bromide can also be produced by the reaction of thorium and bromine. Thorium hydroxide reacts with hydrobromic acid to crystallize hydrates from the solution. Thorium(IV) bromide exists in low-temperature α-type and high-temperature β-type. They are both white deliquescent solids and are easily soluble in water, ethanol and ethyl acetate. It reacts with fluorine gas under standard conditions and with chlorine or oxygen when heated. The beta form of thorium bromide is metastable at room temperature and converts to the alpha form over 10 to 12 weeks, with the conversion from alpha to beta occurring at around 420 °C. The α-type thorium(IV) bromide is an orthorhombic crystal, while the β-type thorium(IV) bromide is a tetragonal crystal with space group I41/amd. Some of its hydrates are known, and these hydrates form thorium oxybromide on heating.

Paisley Fields
James Wilson, known professionally as Paisley Fields, is a queer country music artist based between Brooklyn, NY and Nashville, TN. Wilson grew up in Hudson, Iowa where his grandparents owned a farm. They grew up listening to country music, but resisted performing in the genre until they reconnected with their country roots while living in Japan. Wilson is queer and non-binary. Wilson assembled an alt-country band which performed their first show as the Paisley Fields in Brooklyn on New Year's Eve 2013. After the release of their first EP Oh These Urban Fences in 2015, Wilson adopted the name Paisley Fields as a stage name. His first full-length album Glitter & Sawdust, released in 2018, is an exploration of the duality of the masculine and feminine. The next two albums Electric Park Ballroom and Limp Wrist were released on Don Giovanni Records. Electric Park Ballroom is named after a dancehall they visited in childhood but the songs center on present-day urban narratives while Limp Wrist focuses on the realities of rural queer life. In 2019, Paisley Fields toured with queer country pioneers Lavender Country and Lavender Country later guested on Paisley Fields' "Stay Away From My Man." They played keyboards on Lavender Country's 2022 album Blackberry Rose. "Burn This Statehouse Down," a duet with Mya Byrne protesting Tennessee's anti-trans legislation, was chosen as one of NPR music critic Ann Powers' favorite songs of 2023. As a songwriter, Wilson has written with Bob the Drag Queen ("Purse First") and Scarlet Envy ("Feeling Is Mutual," "Press On," "Is It Me?"). Paisley Fields combines country, rock, pop, and disco while their lyrics include explicit queer themes, ranging from gay sex ("Ride Me Cowboy") to being outed ("Blackhawk County Line") to referencing Matthew Shepard ("Iowa").

Monte Castelvecchio
Monte Castelvecchio is a mountain of Lombardy, Italy, with an elevation of 623 metres (2,044 ft). It is located in the Varese Prealps, in the Province of Varese, in the municipality of Cunardo. Due to its commanding position over the Valcuvia and Val Marchirolo, Monte Castelvecchio has been fortified since the Early Middle Ages. In 900 Liutprand, King of the Lombards, built a fort (later a castle) atop the mountain, which later came under the control of the House of Visconti; the castle, from which the mountain derives its current name (Castelvecchio meaning "old castle"), was burned in 1164, 1447 and 1517. In the 18th century, the ruins were dismantled and the material used to build Cunardo's parish church.

Pedro Rocamora y García (11 February 1832 – 19 January 1925) was a Spanish Roman Catholic bishop and senator. His parents were called José and Josefa. He was born at the Granja de Rocamora village in the province of Alicante, and was baptized the 12th February 1832. He passed the first three years of a philosophy degree from 1845 to 1848, at the local institute of Orihuela. In October 1848 he entered the diocesan seminary of the municipality, where he finished his philosophy studies and was educated in Sacred Theology and Canon Law, obtaining the highest degrees of the course. In 1855 he obtained a bachelor's degree in Theology, and in July 1857 he became a doctor of Theology at Valencia. He started teaching philosophy at the seminary in 1854, and was appointed as full professor of Dogmatic Theology and Moral Theology the following year, a position he held until 1860. He was ordained the 16 February 1856. In January 1860 he became oikonomos of the minor basilica of Santa María, at Elche. In 1864 he was examined to enter the Penitenciaría de Valencia, and in 1866 for the Cathedral of Orihuela. In 1869 he became a candidate for the Penitenciaría of Orihuela, a position he held from 5 May 1867. In 18 December 1893 he was proposed by the Queen Regent as Bishop of Tortosa, and the 21 May 1894 he was approved by papal consistory. Rocamora carried out his pastoral work in various positions and places: he was in charge of the cemetery of Orihuela; held a directive position at the Confraternity of Our Lady of Montserrat, he served as local president of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul and was president and director of a local confraternity for women called "Las Mónicas". Rocamora was deeply commited to the ministry of penance and served as confessor for the local religious orders. The bishop started administering confessions at dawn and remained at the confessionary most of the day. A contemporary newspaper described his actions writing that: Amidst his multiple works, he did not stop to frequently make use of his teaching powers, in which he made manifest his deep knowledge, his simplicity, his virtue and his evangelical spirit, as the only objective of his preaching was giving consolation to people's hearts and conquering their souls for heaven. During his leadership of the Diocese of Tortosa, he travelled around it many times and preached at all its parishes. According to the Correo de Tortosa newspaper, Rocamora would experience health problems due to his exhausting activities. Rocamora introduced in his diocese the practise of reading religious meditations at the churches during Lent, using a series of spiritual exercises written by the bishop of Orihuela Félix Herrero Valverde which were popular at Spain by that time. On a diocesan encyclical, he stressed the importance of teaching Christian doctrine to the locals. Rocamora was particularly noted for his preaching, and wrote numerous pastoral letters during his term. In August 1919, there were celebrations on the whole diocese organized to commemorate his 25 years as bishop. An extraordinary edition of the local ecclesiastical bulletin was published with the occasion of the festivity, in which many members of the local clergy praised his figure. He was renowned for his deep scholarship and modesty. He collaborated with El Siglo Futuro newspaper, of which he was also a reader and subscriber. He praised Ramón Nocedal, its director and founder of the Integrist Party, as a «distinguished confessor of Christ and ornament of Religion and the Fatherland».

Reichs-Kredit-Gesellschaft
The Reichs-Kredit-Gesellschaft (RKG, lit. 'Credit Company of the Reich') was a significant state-owned German bank, located in Berlin. The RKG originated in the war economy of Germany during World War I. In 1917, the Reich Treasury established a Statistical Office for War Companies (German: Statistisches Büro für Kriegsgesellschaften) for the purpose of financing companies that had been set up to support the war effort. to balance the surplus and need for money in the war societies. After the war's end, the corresponding assets and liabilities were transferred to a "cxredit and control entity" (German: Reichs-Kredit- und Kontrollstelle GmbH), a limited-liability company owned by the German government. On 7 March 1923, the government-owned VIAG company founded the Reichs-Kredit-Gesellschaft mbH (private limited company) to take over the Reichs-Kredit- und Kontrollstelle GmbH, and transformed it the next year into a joint-stock company, with Samuel Ritscher [de] as its general manager. The RKG was principally active in the areas of industrial and commercial credit, securities, asset management, and trade finance. In the 1930s it became one of Germany five major banks, even though, similarly as the Berliner Handels-Gesellschaft, it had no branches outside of Berlin.

Face (Brockhampton song)
"Face" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American boy band Brockhampton and the lead single from their debut studio album Saturation (2017). The music video premiered on May 6, 2017, before the song was released to streaming services on May 18, 2017. Joe Price of Complex gave a positive review of the song, writing "The Kiko-handeled [sic] production is minimal but hypnotic, providing plenty of space for each of the vocalists. Joba, who handles the hook of the song, shines in particular atop the serene instrumental, which twinkles and stutters. Dom McLennon, Ameer Vann, and Matt Champion all make brilliant contributions to the song, too." Matthew Strauss of Pitchfork wrote in a review of Saturation, "No member is a particularly good rapper, but they make up for their weakness when they ride the pristine beats with exuberance. 'FACE,' for example, is so clean that a clunker like Champion's 'New times are coming just like a virgin' easily skates by unnoticed amid Vann and McLennon's superior verses and JOBA's gentle hook." Variety ranked "Face" at number 12 on their list of Brockhampton's 15 best songs. The music video was directed by Kevin Abstract and shot by Ashlan Grey. It sees the members of Brockhampton lying down and trashing the front of their house.

Giacomo Foscarini
Giacomo Foscarini (5 April 1523 – 25 January 1603), also spelled Jacopo Foscarini, was a merchant, statesman and admiral of the Republic of Venice. He made his fortune as a trader in Paris and London before entering politics in 1559. During the Ottoman–Venetian War (1570–1573), he served as governor of Dalmatia and Albania and then Captain General of the Sea. From 1574 to 1578, he was the governor of Crete with extraordinary powers. He reached the peak of his influence in Venice after his election as a Procurator of Saint Mark in 1580. He served a second term as Captain General in 1594. Foscarini was born on 5 April 1523 in Santa Sofia, Venice. His father, Alvise di Andrea Foscarini, belonged to the Santa Fosca branch of the patrician Foscarini family [it]. His mother, Marietta, belonged to the Donà family. He was the firstborn of fifteen children. On 26 November 1556, Foscarini married Elena Giustinian, whose dowry was 5,000 ducats and whose family had close connections with the church. They had three sons and four daughters: Foscarini's primary residence was the Palazzo Foscarini [it] across from the church of the Carmini. He built it himself, substantially completing it by 1574. In 1539, Foscarini accompanied Antonio Cappello and Vincenzo Grimani on an embassy to France. He spent the next sixteen years abroad, mainly on business in Paris and London. During this time he befriended the Venetian diplomat Daniele Barbaro. He also saw firsthand the effects of the English Reformation. He entered into a joint enterprise with fellow merchant Giacomo Ragazzoni. Their ships travelled between the North Sea and the Mediterranean. In 1544 and 1557, they suffered serious losses, but mostly they made enormous profits. Foscarini continued to be involved in trade after returning to Venice in the mid-1550s. He left his brother Girolamo in charge of his affairs in London. He also opened a bank, although this closed in 1568. Foscarini was elected savio alle Acque in 1559 and provveditore alla Sanità in 1561. In August 1564, he joined the 60-member zonta of the Senate. He was a regular member of the Senate in 1565–1566. In 1566–1568, he served two terms as savio alla Mercanzia. He served a stint as podestà of Rovigo and was elected podestà of Verona in February 1569 and rewarded for his good administration by election as savio di Terraferma in September 1570. A war with the Ottomans over Cyprus broke out in 1570. As it damaged Venice's seaborne trade, Foscarini turned to property speculation in the Domini di Terraferma, jointly with his son Giambattista and daughter Foscarina. On 20 November 1570, he was appointed provveditore generale in Dalmatia and Albania [it]. He landed in Zadar in the spring of 1571. He took part in the Battle of Lepanto on 7 October 1571. On 3 February 1572, he was appointed Captain General of the Sea. On 3 April, he sailed for Corfu. His caution and conservatism contrast with the audacity of his predecessor, Sebastiano Venier. He returned to Venice in May 1573, after the signing of a peace treaty. On 15 May 1574, Foscarini was named provveditore generale, sindaco, captain general and inquisitor general of Crete with extraordinary powers. Before embarking, he escorted King Henry III of France on his visit to Venice in July and hosted the king in his own house. He received a knighthood from the king. Foscarini arrived in Crete in September or October 1574. With extraordinary temporal and spiritual powers, he was, as his funerary inscription indicates, the "dictator" of Crete. His administration of 27 months was one of radical reform. He maintained the feudal system, but improved the lot of the peasantry by putting more land under wheat cultivation at the expense of vineyards. He rearranged the island's defences and improved its fortifications, commissioning the fortress at Spinalonga. He also sought to manage religious differences between Catholics and Orthodox. In 1577, Foscarini commissioned the local scholar Francesco Barozzi to take a census of the island. He also commissioned him to translate the Oracles of Leo the Wise from Greek into Latin. He commission the local scribe and artist Georgios Klontzas to produce two lush illuminated manuscripts of the text, the Bute Manuscript (today in a private collection) and Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Barocci 170. The former, the apparently unfinished presentation copy, was made in Heraklion between April 1577 and March 1578. The unfinished presentation miniature is missing Foscarini's portrait, but does include an angel holding the ducal hat positioned above the blank space, a strong indication that Foscarini had ducal aspirations. He had been a candidate for doge in 1578 and would be again in 1585 and 1595. The whole project of translating and illustrating the Oracles was a work of propaganda that altered the meaning of the text to prophesy Christian victory against the Ottomans. Foscarini's Cretan policies earned him many enemies among the local elite and he returned to Venice early in 1578. Assessments of his rule in Crete have been divergent. To Johann Wilhelm Zinkeisen [de] he was man of "deep insight, a strong sense of justice and a spirit of clemency and reconciliation" who led the "last futile attempt to relieve the basic evils of Venetian rule ... and save the power of the Republic." To Joshua Starr he was "an intolerant fanatic" whose rule "was a dark period for Jews and Greeks alike." In the 1580s and 1590s, Foscarini was one of the most prestigious Venetian statesmen, alongside the future doges Leonardo Donà and Marino Grimani. On 8 March 1580, Foscarini was elected Procurator of Saint Mark. In 1580–1581, he sat on the zonta of the procurators. He was a member of the three-member committee that oversaw the renovation of the Doge's Palace after the fire of 1577. In 1584, he was elected to the commission overseeing the construction of the Rialto Bridge in stone. In 1596, he supported the construction of the Procuratie Nuove designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi, probably on account of its triumphalism. The master builder Baldissera Drachio dedicated his Visione to Foscarini. Foscarini was elected provveditore all'Arsenale [it] four times between 1582 and 1590. He was provveditore all'Artigliere, commissioner of artillery, in 1588–1589. He led embassies to congratulate the newly elected popes Sixtus V (1585), Urban VII (1590), Gregory XIV (1590) and Innocent IX (1591). He was one of the riformatori (reformers) of the University of Padua in 1588 and 1600, in which capacity he fought for the restoration of the Jesuit schools. He served the Zecca (mint) as depositario (1592), provveditore (1596) and conservatore (1601). In 1594, he was again Captain General of the Sea. In 1595, he was sopraprovveditore alla Sanità. He played a major role in the construction of the fortress of Palmanova. He is usually seen as a conservative in the context of Venetian politics at the time, favouring alliance with the Papacy and Spain. Nevertheless, he supported the reform of the savi all'Eresia in 1595 to give the laity a greater role and asked Pope Clement VIII to postpone the enforcement of the Index of Prohibited Books in Venice. Likewise, in 1600 he supported the election of Matteo Zane as patriarch of Venice over Clement's objections. In 1598, he led an embassy to congratulate Clement on the acquisition of the Duchy of Ferrara. In 1601, he was a savio all'Eresia. In January 1602, Foscarini was still fighting to reopen the Jesuit schools in Padua. Although he was a recognized expert in economic matters, a letter he wrote concerning the Bank of Venice on 28 August 1602 sparked a controversy that marred his last months. He died in Venice on 25 January 1603 after eleven days of fever. He was buried in the Carmini. His funerary monument depicts him as a Captain General of the Sea. In his will, he divided his property between his two eldest sons, favouring the second. He also made bequests to the Jesuits. He left a table to his old friend Giacomo Ragazzoni. Giovanni Antonio Ridolfi Sforza wrote a biography of Foscarini in Latin, Iacobi Foscareni equitis et D. Marci procuratoris vita, printed at Venice in 1623. An Italian translation, Vita di Giacopo Foscarini, Cavaliere e Procuratore di S. Marco, appeared the following year.

Heat (Brockhampton song)
"Heat" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American boy band Brockhampton and the second single from their debut studio album Saturation (2017). The music video premiered on May 16, 2017, before the song was released to streaming services on May 18, 2017. Matthew Strauss of Pitchfork commented that the song, "with its blown-out bass and frantic vocals, explodes with id—a moment of catharsis for both the rappers and the listener. McLennon's 'I hate the way I think, I hate the way it looms' sounds more proud than afraid." Live365 placed "Heat" at number eight on their list "Top 10 Brockhampton Songs". Variety ranked it as the band's fifth best song. The music video was directed by Kevin Abstract and filmed in a neighborhood in South Los Angeles with a single camera that has been described as "old school-esque filtered".

Polly Parsons (producer)
Polly Parsons (born 1967) is an American producer, entrepreneur, and performer. She is the daughter of singer-songwriter Gram Parsons and Nancy Ross. Parsons made her first documented appearance in 2003, accepting the President's Award on behalf of the late Gram Parsons at the Americana Music Awards ceremony in Nashville. In 2004, she produced two tribute concerts titled "Return to Sin City: A Tribute to Gram Parsons". Artists included: Keith Richards, James Burton, Lucinda Williams, Norah Jones, Dwight Yoakam, John Doe, Steve Earle, Jim Lauderdale, Kathleen Edwards, Jay Farrar, Jim James, Raul Malo, Susan Marshall, and the Sin City All Stars. The concert produced a DVD. 100% of the proceeds from the tribute concerts were donated through the newly formed Gram Parsons Foundation to the Musician's Assistance Program (now MusiCares Foundation) which aids musicians in crisis. Parsons would go on to relaunch the Gram Parsons Foundation in 2012 to support musicians and artists worldwide with addiction and recovery services by hosting a launch event at SXSW March 14, 2012. The event featured performances by Brendan Benson, Eric Burdon, Blitzen Trapper, Alberta Cross, Great Lake Swimmers, Jenny O and Poor Man (Christian Wargo and Casey Wescott from Fleet Foxes). Dave Prinz, a co-founder of Amoeba Music, was a collector of Gram Parsons archival material. During a move of the L.A. Amoeba record store, Prinz rediscovered a series of Gram Parsons “Last Roundup” tapes. With no interest to involve a bigger record company, Prinz decided to initiate a Kickstarter campaign to fund the release independently, in partnership with Polly Parsons. The campaign launched November 17, 2022, and was fully backed. Gram Parsons & The Fallen Angels' "The Last Roundup: Live from The Bijou Café in Philadelphia 3/16/73" featuring Emmylou Harris was released Friday November 24, 2023 and was considered one of the record store hits of 2023. On November 15, 2023, the Grammy Museum hosted a panel titled Celebrating Gram Parsons, Amoeba Music, and RSD Black Friday. The commemorative panel was moderated by Variety Chief Music Critic Chris Willman, Gram Parsons' daughter Polly Parsons, and Amoeba Music Co-founder David Prinz detailing the discovery of a never-before-heard 1973 recording The panel wrapped up with a performance from the 35-year-old West Virginia-born Sierra Ferrell, who paid homage to Parsons with renditions of “She,” “Return of the Grievous Angel” and “Streets of Baltimore.” In 2021, Polly Parsons launched a desert and community inspired goods and Gram Parsons merchandise brand called Sound As Ever with 2 partners. Self-described as "fine goods for the mindful", the products have a distinctive boho, Joshua Tree aesthetic. Parsons co-founded and is the former managing partner of Daddy Van Productions, producing video content design for live events and world tours. They produced tours for Bruce Springsteen, and Maroon 5 among others as well as producing with major companies like Nike and Warner Brothers. Parsons adapted and then produced the multimedia rock opera Taking the Jesus Pill. The play ran through 2006 and produced an album. Through Gram Parsons tribute concerts, Parsons raised funds for a series of organizations that support artist and musician addiction and recovery services including Gram Parsons Foundation, Musician's Assistance Program (now MusiCares Foundation), and SIMS Foundation. In 2009, Polly Parsons opened Hickory Wind Ranch, a sober living environment for women in entertainment and the arts who are in recovery from substance abuse. It was the first holistic sober living environment in Austin for musicians and artists. In 2013, Parsons expanded Hickory Wind to include substance abuse treatment, with a unique 90-day treatment and extended care program customized for male residents. Polly Parsons is the goddaughter of Pamela Des Barres.

Pasquale Leonardi Cattolica
Count Pasquale Leonardi Cattolica (Naples, 12 February 1854 – Rome, 26 March 1924) was an Italian admiral and politician. He was Minister of the Navy of the Kingdom of Italy during the Italo-Turkish War. Pasquale Leonardi Cattolica was the son of Edoardo Leonardi Cattolica and his wife and Giulia Vacca. He enrolled in the Royal Naval School of Naples in 1868, graduating from the University of Naples in engineering with a specialisation in mathematics in 1872, with the rank of ensign. He was to marry Agata, daughter of his mathematics professor Emanuele Fergola. He dedicated himself to the nautical sciences and in particular to hydrography, navigation and nautical astronomy, being a frequent visitor to the Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte. He was promoted to second lieutenant in 1876 and lieutenant in 1883, meanwhile becoming a freelance lecturer in astronomy at the University of Naples. He also taught at the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno. In 1897 he was appointed director of the Hydrographic Office of Genoa. As such he directed numerous scientific expeditions on the ship Scilla. The Scilla undertook survey work along the Adriatic coast, as well as making a study of the currents along the coast of Apulia. In 1899 the Hydrographic Office was upgraded and renamed the Hydrographic Institute of the Regia Marina. Under Cattolica’s direction it took on the task of preparing nautical charts, books and instruments for navigation, compiling and publishing hydrographic records. In 1900 he also began to publish the first Annali Idrografici for general use by both the navy and the merchant marine. In addition to the publications of the Institute, Cattolica also published a number of technical and scientific works, and was awarded the teaching position in astronomy at the University of Genoa. His work was widely recognised and he became a corresponding member of the Accademia dei Lincei and of the Accademia Pontaniana. As had a similarly impressive active service career, commanding the battleship Saint Bon for two years. He was promoted to rear admiral in 1907, and vice admiral in 1911. He served as a member of the Superior Council of the Navy and was appointed commander of a naval division in the Mediterranean, a position which he was unable to carry out because on 2 April 1910 he was appointed senator of the Kingdom. In 1910 he was appointed senator of the Kingdom of Italy, and became Minister of the Navy under the Luzzatti and fourth Giolitti governments. An area of controversy during Leonardi Cattolica’s term in office was Italy’s struggling battleship building programme. Italy was engaged in a race for superiority at sea with France and Austria, both of which were able to build ships faster. Italy’s first dreadnought the Dante Alighieri had been ordered before he joined the cabinet, and while he was Navy Minster in 1910 the three battleships of the Conte di Cavour class were also ordered and laid down. In 1911 two additional Andrea Doria - class battleships were also ordered. The constant delays in finishing these vessels caused a heated argument in parliament between Leonardi Cattolica and his predecessor Giovanni Bettolo over who was responsible. Cattolica blamed the practice of subcontracting, while Bettolo blamed poor coordination between technical and administrative departments. While Italy laboured to built a fleet that would outclass Austria’s, tensions between the two countries were high in 1911 following the outbreak of the Italo-Turkish War, and the Battle of Preveza in particular. Some navy commanders were keen on looking for a confrontation with Austria, and to prevent hostilities from breaking out Cattolica had to personally intervene and meet the Duke of the Abruzzi, fleet commander in chief, to direct him not to engage Ottoman ships without explicit orders. His efforts were not confined to naval matters. To support Italy’s merchant marine he introduced to parliament in December 1910 a bill to establish a state-subsidised shipping line to serve the Canada route. This became law in December 1912. It not only provided for increased trade but transported emigrants to North America. While he was minister Cattolica attempted to reform many aspects of Italy’s naval infrastructure, from shipbuilding and the management of arsenals to the recruitment and training of seamen. Inevitably his drives for reform made him enemies, particularly as he attempted to implement many without consultation. On 29 July 1913 Cattolica resigned from the cabinet and was immediately replaced by Enrico Millo. After he left government he was appointed commander of the Maritime Department of Naples; from 1916 he was president of the Superior Council of the Navy until 1 February 1917, when he was moved into the reserve and awarded the title of country king Victor Emmanuel III. A major challenge facing Italy after the First World War was the losses suffered by its merchant navy, with 57% of all vessels requisitioned during the war sunk by enemy action. There was an urgent need to train up anew generation of seamen, so the then Minister of the Navy Alberto del Bono decided to bring all the nautical schools in the country under the jurisdiction of his department. He asked Cattolica to head a commission to look into the state of nautical training. Among the recommendations of Cattolica’s commission were that the course of study at the Naval Academy should be reduced from five years to two; giving the Academy the status of a Higher Technical Professional School, and that it should admit only students who had graduated from the nautical institutes. Following this, Cattolica promoted the first higher institute of nautical studies in Italy, the Royal Naval Institute of Naples which was founded in 1920 and which he directed until his death in 1924. The Institute undertook both teaching and research. This institution evolved into today’s Parthenope University of Naples. In 1919 a magazine was launched, the Rassegna Marittima Aeronautica illustrata (Illustrated Maritime and Aeronautical Review), for an audience interested in the theoretical and technical details of ships and aircraft in military use. With Cattolica as its founder and director, the magazine appeared monthly from 2919 to 1921, when it merged with L’Aeronautica and continued under the title L’Aeronautica e la Marina until 1930.

Márta Korbonits
Márta Korbonits FRCP is a Hungarian physician, Professor of Endocrinology and deputy director of the William Harvey Research Institute at the Queen Mary University of London. She is an internationally recognised expert in pituitary tumorigenesis. She was elected President of the Endocrine Society and awarded their Laureate Award in 2023. Korbonits studied medicine and completed her early training in Budapest. She was first introduced to endocrinology during her fourth year of medical school, where she was inspired by Edit Gláz. She moved to the United Kingdom for her specialist training, and joined Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. At Barts her medical doctorate looked at the growth of secretagogues on hypothalamic hormone release. She also completed a doctorate, which considered the mechanisms that underpin pituitary tumorigenesis. During her Medical Research Council Clinician Science Fellowship she started investigated ghrelin physiology and genetics. Her demonstration of AMPK regulation by ghrelin helped people better understand hormonal regulation of metabolism. Korbonits has dedicated her career to translational medicine: using clinical questions to design research experiments and using the outcomes of medical research for new diagnostics and treatment. She has focussed on understanding the mechanisms that underpin familial pituitary adenomas and tumorigenesis. She discovered the genetic link for the AIP ("Irish Giant") gene. Alongside her research, Korbonits is a clinician who cares for patients with endocrine diseases.

Leamouth Lifting Footbridge
51°30′51″N 0°00′24″E / 51.5142°N 0.0068°E / 51.5142; 0.0068 The Leamouth Lifting Footbridge or Leamouth North Bridge is a steel lifting arch bridge for pedestrians over Bow Creek, the estuary of the River Lea. It connects Leamouth in the Blackwall area of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to Canning Town in the London Borough of Newham. Leaside Regeneration set up a competition, which was won by Whitbybird in or before 2004. The bridge was budgeted at £3.5M and would have a 45m mast, that tilted and lowered the bridge at the north side of the river. The bridge was due for completion in 2007, but in 2005 the funding was withdrawn for the Thames Gateway Delivery Unit. In 2008 SOM designed a new bridge as part of a master plan for the area, and in 2011 it won the planning. The bridge was ordered by Ballymore Group. Bridge engineering was done by Davies Maguire, with consulting on the mechanical design by Eadon consulting In August 2014, the pre-fabrigated bridge was lifted into place. The bridge can rise 4 metres on hydraulic pistons on both bridge ends. The Bridge headway is 5.2m above MHWS when closed, and 9.4m when opened.

Pembroke Town Hall, Dublin
Pembroke Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Pembroke) is a municipal building in Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin, Ireland. The building currently accommodates the offices of the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee. After significant population growth, largely associated with its development as a residential suburb of Dublin, the township of Pembroke appointed town commissioners in 1863. The town commissioners established their first town hall at Ballsbridge Terrace but, in the early 1870s, decided to erect a more substantial building. The site they selected on the southwest side of Merrion Road was donated by the principal landowner in the area, George Herbert, 13th Earl of Pembroke. He also provided some £2,000 of the finance for the construction costs. The new building was designed by Edward Henry Carson in the Gothic Revival stye, built by Gahan & Sons in Ballyknockan granite with red sandstone dressings at a cost of £3,300 and was completed in 1880. The original design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto Merrion Road. The central bay featured an arched opening flanked by polished marble colonnettes supporting an architrave, which was surrounded by voussoirs. The other bays on the ground floor were fenestrated by pointed sash windows, while the first floor all three bays were fenestrated by bi-partite mullioned windows with quatrefoils in the heads, and surmounted by gables. There was a clock in the central gable and roundels in the others. Internally, the principal rooms were the various municipal offices on the ground floor, and the boardroom, which was 45 feet (14 m) long and 21 feet (6.4 m) wide, on the first floor. Ornate chairs, designed by James Hicks, were installed in the boardroom. There was an elegant staircase with a fine stained glass window at the top of the first flight. In 1899, the town commissioners were replaced by an urban district council, with the town hall becoming the offices of the new council. The building was extended to the southeast by three extra bays to create a fire station in the early 20th century. The works were carried out by G. & T. Crampton to a design by Charles Herbert Ashworth and were completed in 1902. The extension contained three round headed openings on the ground floor. On the first floor, the central bay was fenestrated by another bi-partite mullioned window with a quatrefoil in the head, and surmounted by a gable, while the outer bays were fenestrated by three tall casement windows in each bay. During the Easter Rising, the commander of the 177th (2/1st Lincoln and Leicester) Brigade, Brigadier-General Lancelot Richard Carleton, established a temporary headquarters in the town hall. The building was used as a place to hold and interrogate political prisoners. The Irish republican, Éamon de Valera, who had commanded the 3rd Battalion, Irish Volunteers at Boland's Mill on the Grand Canal Dock during the fighting and was the last commander to surrender, was arrested by British soldiers and taken to the town hall, where he was held under armed guard. The building ceased to be the local seat of government in 1930 when Rathmines was annexed by Dublin in accordance with the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930. It subsequently served as the home of Ringsend Technical School until 1951, when it became the offices of the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee.

Michelle McManus' Winter Wonderland
Michelle McManus' Winter Wonderland is the second studio album, and first Christmas album, by Scottish singer Michelle McManus, featuring the SoundSational Community Choir. The album was released on 1 December 2019 via McManus' own independent record label, McMannii. Prior to the recording and release of the album, McMannii had been performing the annual Michelle McManus' Winter Wonderland show since 2016, and featuring the SoundSational Community Choir, a 50 piece choir. The show featured a mix of comedy, as well as McManus performing various Christmas songs from other artists. The live Winter Wonderland shows were written by McManus, in collaboration with comedian Bruce Devlin, and musical directors Tommy Chambers and Jen Phee. SoundSational Community Choir, from Glasgow, was established in 2010, and have also collaborated with Scottish recording artist Amy Macdonald. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland, the choir raised £500,000 for various charities, and in 2023, MSP Monica Lennon wishes the choir well and offered her congratulations to the group on the release of their album, Evolution, in a parliamentary motion in the Scottish Parliament. On December 1, 2019, McManus released the album via her own independent record label, McMannii, which she originally established in 2007 after being dropped by her previous record company, Sony BMG, following the poor sales of her debut album The Meaning of Love (2004). The record label was founded in order for McManus to self–release her second studio album, Dancing to a Different Beat which was scheduled for released in 2008, but the release was eventually shelved. McManus' vocals on the album tracks, as well as at the live Winter Wonderland shows, were highly praised by music critics and members of the public alike.

Archerus
Archerus is a genus of extinct marsupials from Miocene Australia. It is known from jawbones and partial skulls from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in Queensland, dated to between 18 to 12 million years ago. These are sufficient to identify it as a phalangerid, perhaps more closely related to the brushtail possums than to the cuscuses, but with many distinctive skeletal features that make the latter relationship uncertain; it may have lived before the two branches of the living family diverged from one another. It is estimated to have weighed around 1.3 kg (2.9 lb), similar to the living scaly-tailed possum, and the shape of its teeth suggest that it had a similarly omnivorous diet.

Ae Bonny Romance
"Ae Bonny Romance" is the eighth episode of the thirty-fifth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 758th episode overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on December 3, 2023. The episode was directed by Matthew Nastuk and written by Michael Price. In this episode, the Simpson family goes to Scotland to find Groundskeeper Willie and learns he is about to be married. Karen Gillan, Paul Higgins, and David Tennant guest star. The episode received positive reviews. At Springfield Elementary School, the fourth-grade boys are learning to dance with girls. To prevent them from touching hands, Bart goes to the nurse's office to get bandages to wear on their hands. After applying them, they begin to feel intoxicated, and Bart sees that he had obtained nicotine patches. Although he claims innocence, Principal Skinner sends him to Groundskeeper Willie for punishment. When he learns what happened, Willie tells Bart about Maisie, whom Willie loved but did not join Willie in coming to America. They become friendly over their hatred of girls. Meanwhile, Homer and Marge receive an invitation to a destination wedding. Homer protests, but Marge accepts, and they plan to use their accumulated flyer miles to pay for airplane tickets. When Willie goes missing, Bart receives a phone call from him in Edinburgh asking for help. He convinces Homer and Marge to take the family to help Willie with their flyer miles. In Edinburgh, the family finds Willie, who is about to get married to Maisie. Willie says that his phone call was misleading because it was interrupted by Maisie asking for a kiss. They explain that Maisie's family told her that Willie had been killed by a sheep, which is why she did not join him. She found Willie after she saw a video of him and Bart that they posted online. After talking, they decided to get married. Bart feels betrayed because he thought Willie hated girls. As they participate in wedding activities, Homer and Marge argue because Homer dislikes destination weddings. At the wedding rehearsal, Lisa tells Bart to be happy for Willie while Marge tells people how Homer is not romantic. Although Bart tries to be happy for Willie, he asks Bart to dance with girls, which causes Bart to throw the wedding cake out of a window. Bart hears that Maisie's family is allowing Willie to get married to use his smelling ability to make them rich. Meanwhile, Homer is angry at Marge for talking about him. Later, Homer sends Marge a video that he thinks that she would like. This causes the two to forgive each other. At the wedding, Bart interrupts and tells Willie about Maisie's family's plans. Maisie says she did not know. To prove her love, she breaks Willie's nose to ruin his smelling ability. They get married and move into Willie's shack. Karen Gillan guest starred as Maisie, a love interest for Groundskeeper Willie. She described the character as the role she "was born to play." Gillan previously expressed interest in appearing on the series. Paul Higgins guest starred as Hamish. Higgins also played the Ticket Booth actor. David Tennant was cast as Pa MacWeldon. The Scottish band Belle and Sebastian appeared as themselves, playing their song "If You Find Yourself Caught in Love" during the wedding activity montage. They also performed the original song "Willie And The Dream Of Peat Bogs" over the end credits. The episode aired live in all time zones in the United States at 8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM PT following a special episode of Krapopolis. The episode earned a 0.59 rating with 2.04 million viewers, which was the second most-watched show on Fox that night. John Schwarz of Bubbleblabber gave the episode a 7.5 out of 10. He liked the Scottish jokes and guest stars. However, he thought the subplot of Homer and Marge's marital problems were repeats of previous stories. Cathal Gunning of Screen Rant highlighted Bart's story of being blamed for a prank he unintentionally caused followed by his redemption. He also highlighted the mostly accurate depiction of Edinburgh. Scottish viewers thought that the portrayal of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was accurate.

Casey was born in Leeton in the Riverina region of New South Wales and attended St Patrick's College, Goulburn from 1950 to 1955, making the first XV at age 15. A goal-kicking fullback, Casey played first-grade for Sydney club St. George. Capped six times by the Wallabies, Casey debuted on the 1963 tour of South Africa, featuring in all three of the four Test matches. He was one of Australia's best players in the 3rd Test at Ellis Park, with a drop goal, try and sideline conversion, helping them to a 11–9 win. His other three caps came on the 1964 tour of New Zealand and he accumulated 11 points in a win over the All Blacks in Wellington. A knee injured caused him to withdraw from the 1966–67 tour of Britain and France, after he had been picked in the squad subject to fitness tests.

William Wayne Babcock
William Wayne Babcock (born June 10, 1872 in East Worcester, New York; † February 23, 1963) was an American physician and scientist. He developed a method of vein stripping to treat varicose veins . Babcock was born on June 10, 1872 in East Worcester, New York and received his medical degree in Baltimore. He received his doctorate in 1893 at the age of 21. He then began training in surgery at St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City, but soon moved to Philadelphia, where he worked in various institutes. In 1903 he became chair of surgery and the head of the Women's Clinic and the Surgical Clinic at Temple University. He held this position until his retirement in 1943. During his medical career, Babcock published more than 350 scientific publications. Babcock was married and had three daughters. He died at the age of 90 on February 23, 1963. Among other things, Babcock developed a surgical procedure for the surgical removal of the saphenous veins of the legs in cases of varicose veins. This operation was carried out using a probe that is inserted into the vein at the ankle, passed through to the groin and then pulled out of the leg again, with the glans-shaped probe taking the vein along with it. Babcock's method represented an alternative to the surgical procedures common at the time, in which the entire length of the leg was opened. Almost at the same time as Babcock, a method was developed at the Johanniter Hospital in Stendal, Germany that was described by Gotthold Friedel in 1908, in which a circular incision over one and a half meters long was intended to destroy the varix. This became an established practice of the time. In German-speaking countries, the chief physician of the Hamburg Harbor Hospital, Karl Lauenstein, first introduced Babcock's method at the surgeons' congress in Berlin in 1911. The Babcock operation was slow to gain acceptance and was only included in surgical textbooks around 1930. Developed in collaboration with Dr. Charles M. Bacon, this procedure aimed to treat rectal and sigmoid colon cancer while preserving the anal sphincters. Prior to this technique, radical surgery often resulted in permanent colostomies, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. The Babcock-Bacon operation involved a meticulous dissection and mobilization of the rectum and colon, allowing for resection of the cancerous tissue while preserving the sphincter muscles and blood supply. This innovative approach improved both oncological outcomes and patient well-being, and remains a cornerstone of colorectal cancer surgery today. This technique, named for its resemblance to the shape of a marrow-filled bone, addressed skull defects resulting from trauma or tumor removal. Babcock pioneered the use of autologous bone grafts, harvested from the patient's own ribs, to reconstruct the missing skull. The curved shape of the rib provided a natural contour for the cranial vault, offering both structural support and aesthetic improvement. The "soup bone" technique marked a significant advancement in cranioplasty, offering a safe and effective method for skull reconstruction with minimal donor site morbidity. Babcock recognized the role of nerve entrapment and inflammation in contributing to pain and paralysis. He developed a technique for dissecting and separating affected nerves from surrounding tissues, alleviating pressure and promoting nerve recovery. This "nerve disassociation" approach proved effective in treating various conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and meralgia paresthetica. Babcock's technique laid the foundation for modern nerve decompression surgeries, offering relief to patients suffering from chronic pain and sensory disturbances. Babcock invented the Babcock forceps, the Babcock probe, the sump drain, and the lamp chimney sump drain. Babcock received the American Medical Association Gold Honorary Meritorious Service Medal. In addition, the surgical clinic at Temple University was named after him after his retirement. As early as 1905, a group of students at Temple University inspired by Babcock had formed the Babcock Surgical Society. This society continues to exist today.

Jiří Ovčáček
Jiří Ovčáček (born 13 January 1979) is a Czech journalist and columnist. He was best known as the spokesman of Miloš Zeman during Zeman's presidency. Ovčáček was born on 13 January 1979. He studied at the Archbishop's High School in Prague, but was dropped out at 16 years old after dying his hair green as a small provocation against the school environment. Ovčáček graduated from Ecological Gymnasium. In February 2015, a user named GhostBuster on Echo24 that Ovčáček wrote 443 articles in two years between 2002 and 2004 during his tenure as an editor of Haló noviny, which testified his fascination with communism. In April 2023, he started working as an editor and commentator for the social website Život v Česku. At the beginning of social democratic governments era, he moved to the press department of the Government Office of the Czech Republic. During Jiří Paroubek's tenure as prime minister, Ovčáček served as the deputy director of this department and became his press spokesman, but was dismissed in 2007 due to a loss of trust. Ovčáček published his first book titled Plnou parou v politice (lit. 'Full steam in politics'), in which he was accused by Paroubek of slandering him in the tabloid media. On the other hand, commentators pointed to Ovčáček's problematic journalistic directly to his alleged bias extending to expressions of personal revenge. During the 2013 Czech presidential election, Deník Referendum editor Patrik Eichler accused Ovčáček of bias against Jiří Dienstbier Jr. as a ČSSD candidate. Ovčáček was appointed press spokesman for Miloš Zeman in December 2013, replacing Hana Burianová, who initially remained in the position of director of the press department of the presidential office. In May 2014, Ovčáček replaced her in this position. In 2015, Ovčáček became one of the central figures in the "Hitler is a Gentleman" case. He aimed to prove moral misconduct alongside Zeman and at the same time question the seriousness of one of the leading Czechoslovak journalists, Ferdinand Peroutka. In an interview with Martin Veselovský on 2 November 2016, Ovčáček stated that he was still looking for Peroutka's whereabouts. With Petr Pavel taking office as president of the Czech Republic, Ovčáček resigned as presidential spokesperson and was replaced by Markéta Řeháková. Ovčáček has been married to a Ukrainian woman since November 2022. The couple met when he took her in as a refugee from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ovčáček has been the subject of criticism for the way he works. In September 2021, executive board of the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA), Patrik Schober, stated that he would dismiss him. According to Schober, Ovčáček's average salary of 106,000 CZK as of 2020 corresponded to the position of an experienced director of communications in the commercial sphere. However, Ovčáček "lies, divides society and deliberately labels." On 16 December 2021, Ovčáček was taken to the detention station after he allowed himself to be taken by a taxi, refused to pay and fell asleep drunk. He did not pay for the transport costing CZK 350 to Dělnická Street in Holešovice. Ovčáček subsequently apologised for his behavior, citing "various dramatic circumstances surrounding the formation of the government" as the reason. The next day, Zeman appointed the Cabinet of Petr Fiala, whose members he expressed reservations about, should not appoint it against the constitution.

Vilnius Central Business District
The Central Business District (abbreviated Vilnius CBD) is a rapidly developing business district in Šnipiškės eldership of Vilnius, Lithuania. It is Lithuania's most important business district and the largest of its kind in the Baltic States. Since year 2000, more than 480,000 square metres (5,200,000 sq ft) of floor area was added to Vilnius CBD. Most of the growth occurred after 2010, with intense growth continuing after 2020. Vilnius government has created a virtual 3D map of the area where present and future buildings can be seen. This area is called Naujasis miesto centras and abbreviated Vilniaus NMC in Lithuanian. The White Bridge connects the area with the Naujamiestis eldership. Many of Lithuania's high-rise office buildings are located here, including Europa Tower, the tallest office building in the Baltic states. As of December 2023, Vilnius CBD has about a dozen high rises designed by local and foreign architecture firms including Daniel Libeskind, Lund + Slaatto Arkitekter [no], Audrius Ambrasas [lt], RSHP and others. Large multinational corporations have their local or regional headquarters here, for example Nasdaq, Revolut, Swedbank, SEB Group, Luminor Bank, Unity Technologies, Huawei, Yara International, and Johnson & Johnson. The area is especially popular with banks and financial institutions. Two large shopping centers are located in Vilnius CBD – VCUP and Europa. There is a White Bridge sports field next to the bridge, which hosts 9 beach volleyball courts, 3 double-sided basketball courts, a park for roller skaters and skateboarders, outdoor training grounds and children playgrounds. Various sports competitions are organised here. Concerts, festivals and other entertainment activities are regularly hosted in a field near Vilnius CBD and the White Bridge. Annual laser show, part of "Sostinės Dienos" (English: "Capital City Days") is held here. As of late 2023, multiple high-rise buildings planned in the area, many of which have been approved by the city government. Most notable buildings include: In a ranking with 9 other comparable central business districts, Vilnius came 7th. The others in the ranking were Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki, Warsaw, Malmö, Tallinn, Copenhagen, Gdansk and Riga.

Crump attended private school in Carrollton, Arkansas until his education was cut short by the start of the American Civil War. He enlisted in the Confederate Army in 1861 at Carrollton, Arkansas, and during the war he served with Company E of the 16th Arkansas Infantry Regiment.

Logan's Run (game)
Logan's Run is a closed-end, computer moderated, play-by-mail role-playing game. It was published by Sanctuary Games and based on the 1967 book Logan's Run. Logan's Run was a closed end, computer moderated PBM game. Bob McLain described it as a "conflict interactive simulation". It was based on the 1967 book Logan's Run. The game was published by Sanctuary Games. It was programmed on an Apple II in Pascal. In a 1984 issue of Paper Mayhem, the editors noted that the publisher had apparently ceased communicating with players. 20–30 players started each game. Players have two available roles: Runner and Sandman. Runners attempted to escape the city that all players begin in. Sandmen attempted to prevent escapes. Once a Runner escaped, the player with the most victory points won. The Editors of The Nuts & Bolts of PBM reviewed the game in a 1983 issue. They stated that it was an "introductory level game which an old 'die hard PBM gamer' might use to entice non-PBM friends into the hobby. It would not hold the interest of an experienced PBM gamer for very long". Bob McLain reviewed the game in the November–December 1983 issue of PBM Universal. He stated that it was "Fun, though rather limited, with the potential for some exciting turns. Most people who have tried the game admit they'd go back for seconds."

'Peru' and Green Galaxy Monstera, but may also be seen listed as Monstera karstenianum or Epipremnum pinnatum 'Marble Planet'; E. pinnatum is an accepted species by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew though refers to a different plant entirely. If intended to be grown outdoors in the United States, a region outside it's native range, it's recommended it be grown in USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12. The species opacum is named from the Latin word for "dark", "dull", or "shade". This member of the arum family (Araceae) has been described as both an epiphyte and hemiepiphyte that exhibits an upward vining growth habit. The lamina surface is classically dark green or gray-green in color, though varieties with yellow variegations exist, ranging from 17.7-43.4 cm long and 7.8-18.8 cm wide. The texture of the lamina surface has been described as thinly coriaceous to subcoriaceous, matte or velvety to semiglossy in appearance. The coloration of the underside may be weakly to conspicuously bicolored (yellow-green) and appear matte to semiglossy. Leaf shape has been described as having considerable variability including: Narrowly to broadly ovate, broadly or ± narrowly lanceolate, elliptic, and oblong or broadly oblanceolate (usually broadest below the middle). The leaf attaches to the stem via a 16.6-29.5 cm long petiole.

David Grimmond
David Noel Grimmond (born 25 December 1943) is an Australian former rugby union international. Grimmond, born in Narrandera, was educated at Canberra's St Edmund's College. He was a speedy winger, who in 1963 recorded a 10 seconds flat 100 yards run, while competing at the Country Athletics Championships. A Queanbeyan Whites first-grade player, Grimmond gained Wallabies selection in 1964 for the tour of New Zealand. He was capped in the 2nd Test at Lancaster Park in Christchurch, playing on the left wing. The following year he was restricted by injury, then in 1966 he was considered unfortunate to miss selection for the British Lions Tests, with the uncapped George Ruebner preferred due to his goal-kicking skills. Grimmond switched to rugby league in 1968 and played for the Queanbeyan Blues, later turning down an offer to join Penrith. He made the New South Wales state team in 1970 and had a two-try performance in a win over Queensland in Sydney, putting him in contention for national selection.

J. Kirk Wiebe
John Kirk (J. Kirk) Weibe is a former intelligence official with the United States National Security Agency, conspiracy theorist, and whistleblower. Kirk managed data programs and criticized the NSA's data-collection policies during the Barack Obama administration. He made the false claim that Russia interfered with the 2016 US election was not true. Weibe argued Russia was not behind the hacked the DNC server. Weibe would go on to spread conspiracies about QAnon and claims of election fraud in 2020 United States presidential election Born in Chicago, Illinois, Kirk grew up in northern Indiana, near Lake Michigan. After graduating high school Weibe enlisted in the United States Air Force and spending four years with the intelligence branch from 1963 – 1967. After the Air Force Kirk attended Indiana University, receiving a master's degree in the Russian language in 1974. Kirk then took a position in the National Security Agency (NSA), retiring in October 2001 In September 2002, Kiebe, along with William Binney and Edward Loomis, filed a request for the U.S. Defense Department Inspector General (DoD IG) to investigate the NSA for allegedly wasting "millions and millions of dollars" on Trailblazer Wiebe developed a competing system, ThinThread, which was shelved when Trailblazer was chosen instead. The Whistleblower's complaint noted Trailblazer's ineffectiveness and unjustified high cost compared to their alternative ThinThread. As a member of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity Kiebe would claim that U.S. intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election was falsifed, and that the Democratic National Committee e-mails were leaked by an insider instead. Kiebe and VIPS colleagues argued argued that the metadata in files associated with the DNC Hack were altered to add Russian fingerprints, and that file transfer rate proved they were transferred locally The memorandum from Kiebe et al. were promoted by Breitbart and Fox News. PresidentDonald Trump would then request Mike Pompeo to meet report authors. The theory was later debunked and it was proved VIP's director Blinney was given fabricated data from a Pro-Russian outlet. Kirk Wiebe was a major voice in spreading QAnon. He would appear on podcasts spreading QAnon theories like movies such as I am Legend were really secret documentaries. According to David Troy many members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity were essential in spreading QAnon lies. J. Kirk Wiebe was very involved in spreading false conspiracies about election fraud in the 2020 United States presidential election. Wiebe would appear with Larouche members in Stop the Steal round tables Conspiracy conspirasists would insist in court filings that tools developed by Wiebe proved massive voter fraud. Wiebe would go on to work with Mike Lindell to prove election fraud. Wiebe would state that Lindell did not have evidence to back up his claims.

Tetouan Archaeological Museum
The Tetouan Archaeological Museum in Tétouan is considered one of the most prominent cultural and historical museums in Morocco, as its historical legacy extends back more than a century. It is located in the heart of the city of Tetouan in the northwest of the country. The Tétouan Archaeological Museum was established in 1939 as a step towards preserving the cultural and historical heritage of the region. The historic building that hosts the museum has been renovated and restored to be suitable for displaying and displaying cultural relics and artifacts. The Tetouan Museum includes a collection of archaeological and historical pieces dating back to various time periods. The exhibits range from ancient pottery, jewelry, stone engravings, ancient coins, and daily tools that reflect the development of society in ancient times. Many of the objects on display come from the Roman city of Lixus. The museum also received items from the Punic-Mauri site of Tamuda, excavated by César Luis de Montalbán [es] from 1921 onward. In 2019 five items from the museum were added to the Moroccan list of national heritage museum objects. In 2022 the museum was one of nine in Morocco to send some of its objects on loan to the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid for a binational exhibition.

Florian Wieder
Florian Andreas Wieder (born 27 February 1968) is a German production designer, set designer and creative producer. He is based in Los Angeles and Munich. Wieder began his career studying music in the United States as a guitarist and musician. Inspired by the set design of Prince's Sign o' the Times Tour, he later pursued stage design at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich from 1988 to 1992. He founded the Munich-based production company Wieder Design in 1990, where he primarily designs sets. Wieder is one of the most famous television set designers in Germany. From 2001 until 2007, he worked as a production designer for TV total, and re-designed the set of Wetten, dass..? in 2008. He received the German Television Award for Best Studio Design for his work on Sabine Christiansen, Deutschland sucht den Superstar and Let's Dance. He made his international breakthrough in 2004 when he began work as a production designer for The X Factor. He was scouted by producer Simon Cowell after his work on Deutschland sucht den Superstar and was hired to work on the inaugural series. He worked on the show until its fifteenth and final series in 2018, and was awarded the Judges Award by the Royal Television Society for his "outstanding work" and "[continued] innovation" on the series. He has since worked on numerous Syco Entertainment operations such as Britain's Got Talent, America's Got Talent and its spin-off series America's Got Talent: The Champions and America's Got Talent: All-Stars. Wieder's success led him to an extended collaboration with MTV, where he worked as designer and creative producer for six consecutive editions of the MTV Video Music Awards and eight editions of the MTV Europe Music Awards. For his work on the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, he was awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Production Design for a Variety or Reality Series. He has worked as a production designer for many American television specials, such as the 2010 Pro Bowl, the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards and the 2011 CMT Music Awards, as well as reality competition and game shows like American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Million Dollar Password, Spin the Wheel and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. As production designer, he has worked with ABC and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on three consecutive editions of the Primetime Emmy Awards. Since 2019, he has worked on the Masked Singer franchise in Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2022, he worked as production designer for the opening ceremony of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Wieder has acted as production designer of the Eurovision Song Contest for seven editions since 2011. He received the German Television Award for Best Entertainment Show for his work on the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Wieder's work on the Eurovision Song Contest has made a transformative impact in the contest's direction. Through the use of stage elements such as a catwalk, which has been prominent in many of his designs, and a proscenium arch, used decoratively in 2017 and 2019 to mark boundaries between artists and spectators, Wieder emphasises an intimate connection between artists and attendees . Scholars argue his work has influenced subsequent contest productions, but that there is a risk of standardisation, stereotyping, and loss of national identity by regularly employing the same designers. Wieder has also helped create multiple stage performances for the show, including German entries "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang" and "Sister" and the live-on-tape performance for the Austrian entry "Amen". He was responsible for the stage design of the German pre-selection shows Unser Lied für Lissabon and Unser Lied für Israel. Wieder has worked on set design for artists such as Adele, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and U2. Wieder is the designer and producer of the ongoing Rammstein Stadium Tour. His stage design was shortlisted for the Concert Production Design Award at the 2020 Design Achievement Awards. In 2022, he was responsible for the stage design of the Bavaria Sounds concert series featuring Andreas Gabalier, Helene Fischer and Robbie Williams. The 150-metre wide diamond-shaped stage was the biggest Wieder had ever designed and was labelled "the wildest stage for a concert since Rock in Rio".

Abdulkadir Nur Farah
Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah or Sheikh Abdul Qadir Nour Farah (Somali: Shiikh Cabdulqaadir Nuur Faarax; born 1940—2023, Arabic: الشيخ عبدالقادر نور فارح) was a Somali cleric, preacher, and Islamic scholar of Dawah. Sheikh Abdulkader was assassinated by Al-Shabab in Garowe, on 15 February 2013. Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah was born in the Canjeel Teelawaa in 1940, nearly the town of Eyl in the Nugal region of Puntland, Somalia. Sheikh Abdulkadir, as recounted in his memoirs compiled by Tutor Judge Mohammed Omar, states: At my birth, during the outbreak of the Second World War around 1940, I entered the world in a place called 'Canjeel Teelawaa,' near Eyl, under the rule of Mohamed Abdullah Hassan, the leader of the Dervish movement. My father, Nur Farah, was present during my upbringing. Unfortunately, he passed away when I was twenty-one. He wasn't the one who imparted life hacks to me, and we were a financially struggling family. Our possessions were limited to a small herd of sheep. He has been devoted to Islamic knowledge since his early years, despite the challenges of pursuing education while also tending to the family's sheep. He moved to the town of Eyl to receive primary education and later traveled to the Somali capital, Mogadishu, in 1960. There, he joined a school affiliated with Al-Azhar Sharif, where he acquired Islamic sciences, graduating in 1967. Following that, he moved to the Saudi Arabia to enroll in the Institute of Islamic Solidarity. Sheikh Abdulkadir quoted again in his memoir: Since my early childhood, I was imbued with a desire of knowledge and religion, and my mother noticed this. When a cleric visited us in our home - and I was only seven or six years old at the time - I would sit with him and listen to what he said and read with interest and listening. When she saw this keenness on my part, She said: Oh my Lord, if my son had learned, I would call him Sheikh Abdulqadir - she meant Sheikh Abdulqadir Al-Jilani. Despite my passion for knowledge, I faced challenges in seeking it. At the age of 13, I had not yet begun to learn the Arabic alphabet. My desire to seek knowledge grew stronger, and when I reached 13 years of age, I took a wooden tablet and a pencil that I sharpened from wood through my personal efforts. Unfortunately, I did not find a teacher to help me memorize the Qur’an, especially since my family led a nomadic lifestyle. Despite my passion for knowledge, I lost the means to pursue it. By the age of 13, I hadn't even started learning the alphabet. My desire to seek knowledge grew, and at the age of 13, I took a wooden board and a pen that I crafted from wood with my personal effort. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a teacher to help me memorize the Quran, especially since my family lived in a nomadic setting. Sheikh Abdulkadir joined the Islamic University of Medina, Saudi Arabia, in the early 1970s, in 1975 he studied from the Faculty of Dawah and Asciddin, and After graduating, he was appointed as a dawah cleric and sent to West Africa with Sheikh Yusuf Adam. After a period that coincided with President Mohamed Siad Barre's visits to Africa in the mid-1970s, he persuaded the Sheikhs that the country needed them and brought them to Somalia, where they were served as two judges. Sheikh Abdulkadir quoted in his memoir: Immediately after graduating from the Islamic University in mid-1974 AD, the Fatwa Presidency assigned my lifelong friend Sheikh Yusuf and me to preach in Niger. Initially, the Nigerian president rejected our presence, deemed our entry illegal, and ordered our immediate expulsion. However, the Saudi government intervened through one of its African embassies. We stayed there for approximately two months, hosted by the religious attaché at the Saudi embassy in Niger. Meanwhile, Muhammad Siad Barre, the head of the Organization of African Unity, was touring many African countries—about 14 countries, at least. When he arrived in Niger, we visited him, and he asked, 'Do you want to stay in Niger or return to Somalia?' We expressed our desire to return to our country. After returning to Mogadishu, I worked in a court for five months after completing a training course. Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah was actively engaging Dawah, and was known for his jurisprudence in scientific seminars in mosques. When we returned from the Islamic University in late 1974, my colleague Sheikh Abdullah Mahmoud Issa began giving lessons from the book 'Riyadh Al-Salehin' at the Al-Maqam Mosque. The lessons stopped, so I continued them. Later, I started teaching 'Terminology of Hadith.' This might be one of the first books on terminology taught in Somalia, selected from the curricula of institutes affiliated with the Islamic University. During my teaching episodes, I covered another book on the principles of jurisprudence. Unfortunately, the book wasn't available to the students, so I had to dictate it to them and then provide explanations. Alhamdulillah, I succeeded in effectively conveying the information to their minds. Students understood and benefited. At a later time, I met Sheikh Mustafa Ismail Harun, a renowned preacher, during one of the Hajj seasons. He informed me that he was among the group to whom I taught the two mentioned books, 'Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence' and 'Terminology of Hadith.' He mentioned that after moving to Burao in northern Somalia, he taught the two books 13 times. He also noted that 'Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence,' for which Sheikh Abdul Karim Hassan Housh (a prominent Usuli figure in the city of Burao in northern Somalia) was known, had its roots in the treatise 'Usul' that I had taught. Siad Barre's regime arrested several Ulama after the killing of clerics who opposed the Personal Status Law, sparking much controversy. Among those arrested was Sheikh Abdul Qadir, who remained in prison for two years without a court trial. Sheikh Abdulkadir said in his memoirs:: There were notorious prisons established by the regime to incarcerate political opponents and public figures, located on the road between the cities of Marka and Afgooye for over two years. In October 1978, we were released. The days of imprisonment were challenging, yet our conviction remained unwavering, and our determination did not falter. During my time in prison, I conducted lessons in interpretation, Nahwa, and biography. Most detainees were political figures and former statesmen. The government arrested numerous young people, bringing them together, while many preachers managed to escape. I recall individuals such as Abdul Qadir Sheikh Mahmoud, the head of the Al-Ahl movement, and Abdul Qadir Ghari, among others, who fled towards Kenya and later moved to Saudi Arabia. There, they joined universities and were warmly welcomed by Saudi Arabia, which understood the plight of Somali scholars and Ulama under the brutal communist regime. Sheikh Abdul Kadir is one of the prominent pioneers of the Islamic movements in Somalia. He was a member of the family movement that engaged in clandestine activities during the communist regime of Somalia, initiated by Sheikh Mohamed Moallim Hassan's episodes. However, the movement faced severe disruption after the arrest of prominent scholars in 1975, leading to the emergence of a Takfiri stream. Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah quoted: The killing of scholars at the beginning of 1975 marked a blatant war against preaching in general. The regime's suspicions towards preachers increased, intensifying the campaign of arrests under various flimsy excuses. This compelled (Al-Ahli) to continue secret work and protect themselves before their names appeared on the list. During our arrest in 1977, the idea spread. Takfir was forcefully advocated by some who had escaped arrest and returned, determined to propagate it. They took advantage of the absence of scholars from the scene, either in prison or in exile, creating an empty atmosphere for them. Upon my release from prison, Takfir had gained control of the scene. After Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah was released from prison, he was offered the opportunity to join the Al-Islamiya community established by some dissidents of the Al-Ahli Movement The founding of the Al-Islah and Al-Jama 'a movements was almost simultaneous, Jama' a Al-Islamiya was an extension of the Al-Ahl movement, and its ruins were founded after its prince, Abdul Qadir, deviated and embraced Takfiri thought, and this was close to the days of our release from prison, Sheikh Yusuf and I were ostensibly numbered among the men of Al-Ahly, when we resolved to fight against the takfiri thought, and later, Abdulaziz Farah and Mohamed Abdi Dahir came to us and told us that there was a group that had formed, offering us to join the fledgling movement. Sheikh Abdulkadir also co-founded Al-Itihaad al-Islamiya in 1984, which originated from the Jemaah Islamiya coalition in southern Somalia and Unity in northern Somalia. Sheikh Ali Warsame was selected as the movement's head. I personally know Sheikh Ali Warsame on a personal level since we were classmates, and our fellowship was formed during our days of study at the Islamic University. Warsame appears to be a consensus figure accepted by both the northern and southern Somali communities, as he is trusted by all. I had the opportunity to meet him in Mecca, where we participated in preliminary integration discussions. Many individuals, including Abdulkader Mohamed Abdullah, Abdelkader Garre, and Dr. Ahmad Haji Abdirahman, were part of these discussions and others. After the collapse of the Central Government of Somalia in 1991, Islamist groups persisted in their demand for Sharia Law, advocating for its implementation in all aspects. Al-Itihad Al-Islam (Salafism) expressed a keen interest in establishing military camps and Islamic courts to govern Somali regions. This pursuit led to conflicts with Somali warlords. Since the establishment of the Al-Etihad Al-Islami Group in Somalia, its main stated objective has been to pursue the establishment of an Islamic State. And when the regime fell, When the regime fell, it facilitated the acquisition of weapons and the State that prevented the arms from reaching our hands fell, there was nothing to justify that devastating war but miscalculation of the nature of things, poor political perception of reality, and when you are dominated by illusions you lose the right perception of things and hide your real weight. In the circumstances of wars that followed temporary control of a number of areas in Somalia, most notably the city of Bosaso, the capital province of Bari, and after the subsequent pursuit of the President of Puntland, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, narrowed the clampdown on the Al-Itihaad al-Islamiya Movement, inflicted successive defeats on the Movement's leaders, gathered and declared the status of arms and demobilized combatants. At the beginning, we faced overwhelming defeat, nearly pushed to the crushed courtyard of Garowe's battles, and the camps, once filled with men, now stood vacant. However, we emerged victorious in the final round of the war. Upon relocating to the Slate of Las Qorey, community leaders engaged in numerous consultations and deliberations about the future. The plan was to staunchly defend with all available strength, avoiding succumbing to the enemy's onslaught. Simultaneously, if successful in defense, we aimed to prevent expansion and persist in the fight. This decision and vision held sovereignty, despite disagreements from some. The situation demanded unwavering opinions and resolutions, even from a purely legitimate perspective. The war yielded no beneficial outcomes, necessitating a change. In fact, our inclination was towards peace and impactful reconciliation, avoiding defeat on the ground. However, considering the advocacy's interest, societal concerns, and rectifying the initial mistake, the transformation imposed significant hardships and difficulties upon us. After that, Sheikh Abdulqadir Nur Farah participated in founding of the group (Jama'at Al-Itisam) in 1996, and he continued his advocacy efforts in the Garowe, in particular Puntland, Somalia. He was among those who participated in the founding of the East Africa University and also served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. After the assassination of Dr. Ahmed Haji Abdirahman in 2011. On February 15, 2013, Sheikh Abdulkadir was assassinated while performing the Al-Asr prayer at Al-Badar Mosque in Garowe, Somalia. The assassination was perpetrated by the Al-Shabaab terrorist group, which had been sending threatening SMS messages indicating their intent to kill him. On July 23, 2013, Puntland Forces executed Abdirahman Hussein Jama Bile and Abdullahi Osman Ahmed 'Aynte' by firing squad for the assassination of Sheikh Abdulqadir. Both individuals were sentenced to death by the Puntland Military Court, with Bile identified as the assailant who killed Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah, and Aynte as the organizer of the act of terrorism. Aynte had fled to Las Anod, but was later brought back to Puntland. This incident followed the assassination of Sheikh Dr. Ahmed Haji Abdirahman, who was also killed after the Fajr prayer at Al-Rawda Mosque in Bosaso on December 4, 2011. Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah says about Al-Shabaab Militant: The jihad, carried under the banner of those who identified themselves as 'young Mujahideen,' seemed to be directed towards Muslims. They perpetrated numerous assassinations and bombings that claimed the lives of hundreds of Muslims. They rejoiced in this, thanking God who enabled them! Many people were killed in Bosaso, Mogadishu, Garowe, and Galkayo—all of them Muslims. Most of them lost their lives on the doorsteps of mosques. Among the latest victims was Dr. Ahmed Haji Abdirahman. Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah was buried in Garoowe, and his funeral was attended by a large number of citizens، Many entities and institutions condemned the assassination of the sheikh, most notably the Jama'at Al-itisam group The Somali Scholars Association The International Union of Muslim Scholars, and the United Nations The perpetrator of the assassination was arrested and executed, and another young man with whom he participated in the crime was sentenced to death by the military station in Puntland.

Hand of Fate 2
Hand of Fate 2 is a 2017 video game developed and published by Defiant Development. It combines action role-playing games with deck-building video games. It is the sequel to Hand of Fate. Players progress through an overworld consisting of twenty-two levels, each of which has different goals. Each level must be cleared by facing challenges posed by cards dealt by the Dealer, a mysterious antagonist. Players also have their own deck of cards, as in deck-building games. Players can augment their decks with recruited companions, each of whom has their own story and associated quests. When cards indicate combat, players engage in third-person action sequences, as in action role-playing games. If players die, they must start the level over from the beginning. Defiant Development released it for Linux, macOS, Windows, and PlayStation 4 on November 7, 2017; for Xbox One on December 1, 2017; and for Switch on July 17, 2018. Hand of Fate 2 received positive reviews on Metacritic. Although PC Gamer felt the combat was weak and repetitive, they said the strategic elements and storytelling make up for it. IGN called it a major improvement over Hand of Fate and praised the added depth, though they said it can still be repetitive. GameSpot said it is "a realization of the first game's promise" and praised the combination of genres. However, they said some quests rely too much on luck, and dying during a quest can be frustrating. Game Informer said the combat is "often boring or laborious", but they called the gameplay otherwise "fantastic and unique". Rock Paper Shotgun said it has more variety than Hand of Fate, but they said they missed that game's larger role for the Dealer.

General Bronze Corporation
The General Bronze Corporation (also known as General Bronze or GBC) was an American metals fabricator, and the most recognized company in the architectural bronze and aluminum industry during the first half of the 20th century. It was known for New York City's Seagram Building on Park Avenue designed by Mies van der Rohe, the Atlas and Prometheus bronze sculptures in Rockefeller Center, the bronze doors for the United States Supreme Court, Commerce, and Department of Justice Buildings in Washington, DC, the aluminum windows for the United Nations Secretariat Building and Chase Manhattan Bank Building, and for the design of the Arecibo Radio Telescope suspension system. As American cities evolved, the need for architectural and sculptural bronze increased. An innovative and progressive company, General Bronze Corporation stepped up to supply that demand. It became the dominant leader in the architectural bronze industry for both bronze fabrication and bronze sculpture, and aluminum fabrication in the United States for over three decades. In the early 1950s, General Bronze was also at the forefront of the fledgling television radio industry as a major manufacturer of radio antennas, and one of the first to introduce automatic motorized antennas for the automobile industry. General Bronze's Brach Manufacturing subdivision offered electronics to the early radio telescope field, such as the Green Bank Telescope of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia and the Arecibo Radio Telescope. Overextending their resources by diverting capital from bronze manufacturing to antenna and radio telescope research, concomitant with the declining use of bronze in the construction industry due to changes in architectural style, eclipsed General Bronze's main focus leading to their ultimate demise. In 1967, they were acquired by Allied Products of Chicago, IL, and ceased to exist. General Bronze Corporation was founded as a reorganization of the John Polachek Bronze and Iron Company, founded in 1910 by John Polachek, a Hungarian immigrant. He became a supervisor overseeing bronze manufacturing at the Tiffany Glass Studios in Corona, Queens New York, which served as the basis for his future enterprise in bronze fabrication. Tiffany Glass Studios, made famous by Louis C. Tiffany commonly referred to his product as favrile glass or "Tiffany glass," and used bronze in their artisan work for his Tiffany lamps. In 1910, Polachek left Tiffany Glass Studios and opened his own bronze architectural company called the John Polachek Bronze Company. In 1912 he purchased a 1.75 acre site in Long Island City, Queens at 34–19 Tenth Street and grew it into one of the most important bronze fabricators in the field. In 1927, Polachek merged his new company with another metals fabricator, the Renaissance Bronze and Iron Works located in Long Island City, Queens. The new company became known as the General Bronze Corporation. In 1934, General Bronze Corporation was the largest company in the architectural bronze industry in the United States, employing 600 workers with assets over $5 million. Polachek's grand idea was to become the leader in the use of bronze for metal fabrication as he foresaw the worldwide demand for the metal alloy would only increase. This was due to a rise in the use of bronze in the architectural and art world, and Polachek leaped at the opportunity. The sought-after metal coincided with the timing of the art-deco, art nouveau, and international art movements, in which it became popular to use bronze. Polachek's intuition paid off, as he cornered the bronze fabrication market. Bronze and aluminum became popular to use and were implemented in art, architecture, and the construction industry by artists, architects, and construction companies respectively. As General Bronze gained notoriety, the company quickly became the forerunner. General Bronze's most acclaimed entry to the construction industry was the bronze mullion I-beams for the Seagram Building, the no-set-back windows clad in aluminum for the United Nations Secretariat Building, and the Chase Manhattan Bank Building. The company purchased the Brach Manufacturing Company of Newark, New Jersey, as one of its subsidiaries in the 1950s. General Bronze (GBC) intended to become a pioneer in the development of TV antennas. During this period, GBC was closely identified with the leadership of Aaron Saphier. He became general manager after the company's founding, and served as president from 1931 to 1959, remaining active as chairman of the board until the end of 1960. During the 1930s through 1950s, the General Bronze Corporation's leadership as one of America's leaders in metals and especially the architectural bronze industry began to weaken as General Bronze expanded beyond their main focus with their developing interest in marketing consumer communications with antennas, as well as aluminum-manufactured products. As General Bronze began to face increasing domestic competition from international electronics firms like RCA, Sony, Philips, Matsushita and Mitsubishi, they continued primarily manufacturing aluminum windows, that which they were known for on prior construction projects, such as the Tripler Army Base Hospital in Hawaii. Although General Bronze's division for manufacturing aluminum windows for the American construction industry climbed after World War II, they suffered enormous financial losses and other failed projects including the loss of existing contracts with metal fabrication partners. This occurred simultaneously with the waning use of architectural bronze and the failed attempts to secure a bid for both the Arecibo Radio Telescope and the Green Bank Telescope in Green Bank, WV. The company slowly rebounded by the early 1960s, but never regained its former status. General Bronze was eventually acquired by Allied Products Corporation of Chicago in 1967, a company which was once owned by Jay Pritzker, the uncle of present Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker. The General Bronze Corporation, with the acquisition of the Roman Bronze Works, became the primary company behind many of America's most famous buildings and sculptures. Early man has used bronze throughout history. In the ancient Mayan, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman ruins, bronze tools, instruments, statues, and weapons has always been found in an almost perfect state of preservation. "Centuries hence there will undoubtedly be many fine works of bronze that will bear eloquent testimony to craftsmanship of our day." The world's most acclaimed sculptors produced some of the finest works seen in the United States by General Bronze. "Many visitors to Rockefeller Center have always admired the bronze statuary which helped make it one of the wonders of the modern world, such as the art deco Atlas by Lee Lawrie, and the Prometheus by Paul Manship." Other well-known and exceptional Rockefeller Center sculptures admired worldwide are on display for visitors to marvel and take photographs. These include the whimsical fountain figures by Rene Chambellan adorning the fountain flanking Manship's Prometheus statue; Lawrie's Atlas sculpture in the plaza of Rockefeller Center's International Building at its 5th Avenue entrance; and the aluminum "Spirit of the Dance" of William Zorach at Rockefeller Center's Radio City Music Hall, New York. The General Bronze Corporation became the leader of the most famous bronze sculptures of the 20th Century, most notably after its acquisition of the Roman Bronze Works. The Roman Bronze Works "had seen many of America's greatest sculptors." The General Bronze Corporation purchased the Roman Bronze Works in 1928. This ownership lasted for twenty years, up until 1948. General Bronze's newly purchased foundry produced “virtually all of the sculpture for Rockefeller Center, numerous national monuments, and many sculptures for the W.P.A, in addition to its usual complement of private commissions." The Roman Bronze works excelled in the lost-wax casting method and permitted large works to be cast in one piece. Most of the sculptures at Rockefeller Center, like the statues of Prometheus and Atlas, were cast at the Corona, Queens building. Early on, the Roman Bronze Works’ use of the lost-wax casting technique, was eyed by Polachek as he once worked there. Begun in 1899 by Riccardo Bertelli, an immigrant who attained technical knowledge of European methods of casting bronze in wax from his native Genoa, Italy, flourished under his management while casting primarily art sculpture. In 1928, the prized foundry was purchased by John Polachek of General Bronze, not only for its workers and workmanship but for the sizable physical plant in Corona, Queens. It was then purchased by General Bronze Corporation and became a subsidiary. Under General Bronze's leadership, Roman Bronze Works produced America's finest patriotic monuments, statues, and most ornate public doors. The factory was the old Tiffany Studios in Corona, Queens, at the southwest corner of 43rd Avenue and 97th place, where it was used to cast art sculptures of bronze designs for sculptors, and bronze architectural elements such as floor registers, door jambs, window casings, lamps, and sconces, most notably for Tiffany. The building had undergone a metamorphosis of name changes, beginning with the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company, in 1892. Arthur J. Nash, apparently became Tiffany's partner, as Nash applied the favrile glass technique learned from his hometown of Stourbridge, England to the glassworks produced by Tiffany. Thereafter, its name evolved from being called the Stourbridge Glass Company in 1893 (in deference to the technique learned from Nash's hometown), to the Tiffany Glass Furnaces, and finally to the Tiffany Studios. Stourbridge Glass Company was absorbed by Tiffany into the Tiffany Furnaces in 1902. "Within this complex, Tiffany carried out experiments in glass colors and pottery glazing, perfected techniques of assembling stained glass windows." “By 1901, Tiffany was at the peak of his profession. But Tiffany’s glass fell out of favor in the 1910s, and by the 1920s a foundry had been installed for a separate bronze company. In 1932 Tiffany Studios filed for bankruptcy. Ownership of the complex passed back to the Roman Bronze Works, which had served as a subcontractor to Tiffany in prior years.” In 1948, General Bronze relinquished ownership of the Roman Bronze Works foundry and was brought back under family control rather than remaining corporate. General Bronze Corporation sold off the subsidiary to a family member of a prior employee of the Roman Bronze Works to the Schiavo family, who had once been employed by Roman Bronze Works. The largest and most ornate bronze fountain known to be cast in the world was by the Roman Bronze Works and General Bronze Corporation in 1952. The material used for the fountain, known as statuary bronze, is a quaternary alloy made of copper, zinc, tin, and lead, and traditionally golden brown in color. This was made for the Andrew W. Mellon Memorial in Federal Triangle in Washington, DC. Another example of the massive, ornate design projects attributed to General Bronze/Roman Bronze Works were the massive doors to the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, DC. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, the federal government required metal for use in the war effort. General Bronze Corporation began assisting in the manufacture of weapons, such as machine gun emplacements. General Bronze became a major manufacturer to the American war effort. Upon its founding, General Bronze Corporation was one of the largest metal fabricators in New York City. The Seagram Building on New York City's Park Avenue remains the "iconic glass box sheathed in bronze, designed by Mies van der Rohe." To supply the demand for bronze required for the construction, the General Bronze Corporation fabricated 3,200,000 pounds (1,600 tons) at its plant in Garden City, New York. The building "exuded transparency, as an expression of Mies van der Rohe’s near-mystic faith in structure as the foundation of architecture." The Seagram Building is a 38-story, 516-foot bronze-and-topaz-tinted glass slab, in the purest expression of Mies van der Rohe style, where 27-foot bays or recessed areas offer the eye a perfect Cartesian grid. The building looks like a "squarish 38-story tower clad in a restrained curtain wall of metal and glass." Structural columns form bays that are divided by "extruded bronze-covered I-beam mullions, which run the entire length of the façade." The most interesting fact about the Seagram Building is that it was the first time that an entire building was sheathed in bronze. Another interesting fact was that New York City's zoning laws were reconfigured for the Seagram Building, so that setbacks were no longer required. "This proved to be a no-setback building but a building all set back," since the entire building was set back 100 feet from Park Avenue. "Bronze was selected because of its color, both before and after aging, its corrosion resistance, and its extrusion properties." The extrusion process, where malleable metal is "forced through dies by pressure produced the bronze mullions — vertical lines between windows," set the Seagram Building apart from all other buildings worldwide. The effect Mies van der Rohe obtained was the "sharp edges" between the glass and the bronze. "One is as much aware of the metal as of the glass that forms most of the building’s walls." This produced the desired design by Mies van der Rohe. It was not only the most expensive building of its time — $36 million — but it was the first building in the world with floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Mies van der Rohe achieved the crips edges that were custom-made with specific detailing by General Bronze and "even the screws that hold in the fixed glass-plate windows are made of brass." William Jordy, an acclaimed architectural historian, said that the Seagram Building was "the first metal-and-glass skyscraper consciously designed to age as masonry buildings age—as appropriate for Seagram's whisky, as sheen to Lever's soap." It was remarked early on that the United Nations Secretariat Building was the world's largest window. It was 287 feet wide and 544 feet tall, described as "two great windows (front, or western exposure, and back, or eastern sides of the building), framed in Vermont marble." General Bronze Corporation manufactured and supplied the building with 5400 individual windows, spandrel frames, louvers, and architectural metalwork since at that time it was the world's largest fabricator of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The land had been donated by the Rockefeller family, the old slaughterhouse district along the East River bordered by First Avenue between East 41st and East 47th Streets. The most important building in the UN Plaza was the UN Secretariat Building, overshadowing the UN General Assembly Building. The group of architects, overseen by a lead architect, was Wallace Harrison. He coordinated an international group of designers which included Sven Markelius, Le Corbusier, and Oscar Niemeyer. The East River site for the U.N, extending some 1500 feet from 42nd to 48th Streets, from First Avenue to the edge of the East River, had a "sufficient scale for applying the fundamental elements of modern urbanism, sunlight, and verdure. Protected, yet given spaciousness by the wide expanse of the East River, the site has breadth enough to be made a living unit of strength, dignity, and harmony, befitting a building which embodied the world." Although located in New York City, the land the U.N. rents is strictly under the administration of the U.N. and extraterritorial by a treaty with the U.S. Government. The Secretariat Building dwarfs the General Assembly Building and contains executive offices for the Secretary General, the Deputy Secretary General and the Under-Secretary-General of the U.N.; offices for the major U. N. Councils; many general business offices: legal department, public information, transportation, translators, interpreters, typing pools, dining rooms, places of worship, etc. The vast aluminum windows manufactured by General Bronze on the east and west building walls are cantilevered beyond the structural steel columns and are supported within the light aluminum framework on double-hung aluminum sashes and fitted with blue-green heat-absorbing plate glass. The iconic building sits as a testament to world unity. Wallace Harrison "insisted that air-conditioning was its cornerstone, unlike Le Corbusier, who wanted windows that could be opened. General Bronze manufactured the windows from Harrison's innovative design, "a curtain wall catilevered two feet, nine inches, in front of the steel structure so that it formed a flush skin of blue-green Thermopane heat-absorbing glass, painted black on the inner face." The International Style design, much like the Seagram Building, "represented postwar (World War II) prosperity; for Europe it was a chance to rebuild; and for developing countries it stood for a brighter future. The Chase Manhattan Bank Building, once known as One Chase Manhattan Plaza, at 28 Liberty Street, is a "sheer, 60-story, 813-foot-tall aluminum-and-glass-sheathed tower which contains 1.8 million square feet." "The General Bronze Corporation engineered and manufactured the ¼ inch-thick aluminum panels — some as tall as 13 feet — which enclose the perimeter piers, as well as the extruded H-shaped aluminum mullions that flank the windows. General Bronze assured that the "aluminum panels would be recessed flush with the inside faces of the huge (2-foot, 10-inch by 4-foot, 11-inch) aluminum-sheathed columns." The curtain wall consists of a 4-foot 7-inch-high, two-tone aluminum spandrel and sill panel and an 8-foot-high window of clear glass. All of the natural-finished aluminum has a matte texture, as does the narrow black-anodized aluminum sill panel. Each bay is subdivided by five extruded aluminum mullions which are spaced 4 feet, 10 inches on center concerning each other and to the structural columns." Skidmore, Owings & Merrill built the present structure, where the "shining, anodized-aluminum skin stood out among the dark towers of Wall Street like a newly minted coin." The Chase Manhattan Bank Building was built on the first commercial "superblock" in New York ever since John D. Rockefeller Jr. developed Rockefeller Center. It was Rockefeller's money that "revitalized New York's financial district and paved the way for other Lower Manhattan projects like the World Trade Center and the South Street Seaport." The building was constructed after a change in New York City's building and zoning laws so that the area was large enough for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to accommodate the building. The political method employed was a "demapping" (literally, removing a street from the city plan) of Lower Manhattan." The building sits on a two-and-a-half-acre plot after Cedar Street was removed, "to form a superblock, bordered by Pine, Liberty, William, and Nassau Streets. The Chase Manhattan Building, the trademark for David Rockefeller and the empire forged by his grandfather John D. Rockefeller, rise "60 steel-ribbed stories out of the dark canyons of the financial district, the great glass and aluminum slab of the Chase Manhattan Bank stands at 813 feet, the sixth tallest building in the city and the world," in 1961. There are 2,239,530 square feet of gross floor area, and "is the largest banking operation ever assembled under one roof, costing $813 million, the largest total investment in a building of its type, and detail for detail, in overall quality as well as outright size, one of the most remarkable planning, architectural, and engineering accomplishments," at the time it was built. The radio industry had been making technical advances, particularly in the area of antenna technology, and instituted antenna design/model production for the MIT Lincoln Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, NASA, and the Bureau of Standards. Since General Bronze has enormous access to the aluminum industry, it pursued the acquisition of L.S. Brach Manufacturing Corporation in 1948 to gain a foothold in the field of radio technology and Brach's patents. Ira Kamen became the director of the Brach Manufacturing Corporation, while George Doundoulakis became the Director of Research. Kamen had hired Doundoulakis at the RCA Institutes in New York City. Doundoulakis had experience working on the DEW Line system earlier. Kamen believed that with his expertise and Doundoulakis' energy, they both would forge ahead and seek to gain contracts in the expanding field of radio telescopes. Doundoulakis had been tutored by Kamen, an electrical engineer, in New York City who taught at the RCA Institutes. Doundoulakis, a physicist, had gained a solid foothold in the field of electronics and was encouraged by Kamen to also teach at the RCA Institutes. Subsequently, in 1956, both Doundoulakis and Kamen filed their first US patent. Later, Doundoulakis and Kamen co-authored a book on "Scatter Propagation." Doundoulakis hired Stanley Gethen, and together, both filed patents for antenna designs and radar-related projects for General Bronze. Brach Electronics had developed antennas for the automobile industry, which included motorized antennas. General Bronze Corporation's (GBC) Brach subsidiary had been interested in radio telescope research in addition to automobile and boat antennas. GBC was requested, and then bid for the construction of the 90-foot and the 140-foot radio telescopes in Green Bank, VA, for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). The plans submitted from General Bronze include details of the bid. The Green Bank, WV, antennas were managed by the Associated Universities Incorporated (AUI), a consortium of scientists, initially from nine northeastern universities, dedicated to developing and building scientific tools for the community. GBC submitted design proposals for both the 85-foot and 140-foot radio telescopes. Ira Kamen, as director of the Brach subdivision was in direct communication with Richard Emberson, who was the assistant to the president of AUI at the founding of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. In 1957, he became the project manager for the development of Green Bank, West Virginia radio telescopes. Kamen worked with the AUI, the overseeing entity between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NRAO at Green Bank. General Bronze's technical drawings, photographs, and correspondence in 1957–58, at the outset of the design and construction of the Green Bank Telescopes are referenced. However, GBC's bid was not accepted as a contractor for either the 85-foot or the 140-foot radio projects. On the day the project for the design and construction of the Arecibo Radio telescope was announced at Cornell University, Professor William Gordon of the electrical engineering department envisioned a 133 m (435 ft) single tower centered in a 305 m (1,000 ft) reflector to support an antenna feed. He proposed that this antenna would "be fed from a horn on a high tower." Gordon also suggested a tripod or four-legged design similar to the arches of the St. Louis Gateway Arch to suspend the antenna feed. Subsequently, Cornell University and Zachary Sears published a request for proposal (RFP) requesting a design to support an antenna feed moving along a spherical surface 133 metres (435 ft) above a stationary reflector. The RFP recommended to those chosen antenna companies that a tripod or a tower in the center to support an antenna feed was conceptualised by Gordon. The RFP was mailed out to all major antenna companies/researchers in the field. George Doundoulakis received the RFP from Aaron Saphier, CEO of General Bronze Corporation. GBC had previously submitted proposals for the radio telescope at Green Bank, WV under the auspices of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory from GBC's Brach subdivision. General Bronze presented their proposal in the final round in December 1959, in Ithaca, New York at Cornell for their antenna suspension design RFPs. Doundoulakis had studied the idea of suspending the feed with his brother, Helias Doundoulakis, a civil engineer who received his master's thesis in bridge suspension from Brooklyn Polytechnic. George Doundoulakis recognised that Gordon's idea of supporting the proposed radio telescope's antenna feed from a tower, tripod, or four-legged structure around the center, (the most crucial area of the reflector), would severely limit the reception of radio waves. George Doundoulakis thought of a more practical way of suspending the antenna feed — by cables from four towers – thereby eliminating the problem of a "high" tower in the center of the reflector. Both George and Helias Doundoulakis told professors Gordon and Gold at the RFP meetings on 14 December 1959 "General Bronze Corporation proposes a radical departure from the other companies: two suspension bridges perpendicular to one another which will double for an antenna." He presented this proposal to Cornell University for his idea for three-and-a-half hours, while other companies were given 45 minutes. They explained how the antenna feed would hang at the intersection of two suspension bridges — in turn, supported by four towers — by a doughnut or torus-type truss attached to the antenna feed." Doundoulakis informed Professors Gordon and Gold that the tower/tripod/four-legged designs, compared to his towers/suspension bridge idea, were major engineering challenges with high construction costs. Helias Doundoulakis designed the cable suspension system – with assignees William J. Casey and Constantine Michalos – that was finally adopted. It is essentially the same design as in the original drawings by Doundoulakis – although configured with three towers rather than four towers in Doundoulakis, Michalos, and Casey's patent. Controversy arose after Helias Doundoulakis, Constantine Michalos, and William J. Casey (CIA director under President Ronald Reagan) discovered the suspension design was used by Cornell University without their permission as exclusive patent holders. They subsequently filed a lawsuit, originally for $1.2 million but was settled for $10,000 because "the defense in a court trial would cost far more than the $10,000 for which the case was settled," and accordingly, on April 11, 1975, Doundoulakis v. U.S. (Case 412–72) had been ruled in plaintiff's favor by the United States Court of Federal Claims, that "(a) a judgment has been entered in favor of the plaintiffs Helias Doundoulakis, William J. Casey, and Constantine Michalos against the United States and (b) in consideration of the sum of $10,000 to be paid by the United States Government to the plaintiff, the plaintiffs grants to the United States Government an irrevocable, fully-paid, non-exclusive license under the aforesaid U.S. Patent No. 3, 273, 156 to Cornell University."

As American cities evolved, the need for architectural and sculptural bronze increased. An innovative and progressive company, General Bronze Corporation stepped up to supply that demand. It became the dominant leader in the architectural bronze industry for both bronze fabrication and bronze sculpture, and aluminum fabrication in the United States for over three decades. In the early 1950s, General Bronze was also at the forefront of the fledgling television radio industry as a major manufacturer of radio antennas, and one of the first to introduce automatic motorized antennas for the automobile industry.

The sought-after metal coincided with the timing of the art-deco, art nouveau, and international art movements, in which it became popular to use bronze. Polachek's intuition paid off, as he cornered the bronze fabrication market. Bronze and aluminum became popular to use and were implemented in art, architecture, and the construction industry by artists, architects, and construction companies respectively.

As General Bronze began to face increasing domestic competition from international electronics firms like RCA, Sony, Philips, Matsushita and Mitsubishi, they continued primarily manufacturing aluminum windows, that which they were known for on prior construction projects, such as the Tripler Army Base Hospital in Hawaii. Although General Bronze's division for manufacturing aluminum windows for the American construction industry climbed after World War II, they suffered enormous financial losses and other failed projects including the loss of existing contracts with metal fabrication partners.

Later, Doundoulakis and Kamen co-authored a book on \"Scatter Propagation.\" Doundoulakis hired Stanley Gethen, and together, both filed patents for antenna designs and radar-related projects for General Bronze. Brach Electronics had developed antennas for the automobile industry, which included motorized antennas.", "title": "L.S. Brach Manufacturing Corporation and Antennas" }, { "paragraph_id": 21, "text": "General Bronze Corporation's (GBC) Brach subsidiary had been interested in radio telescope research in addition to automobile and boat antennas. GBC was requested, and then bid for the construction of the 90-foot and the 140-foot radio telescopes in Green Bank, VA, for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). The plans submitted from General Bronze include details of the bid. The Green Bank, WV, antennas were managed by the Associated Universities Incorporated (AUI), a consortium of scientists, initially from nine northeastern universities, dedicated to developing and building scientific tools for the community. GBC submitted design proposals for both the 85-foot and 140-foot radio telescopes. Ira Kamen, as director of the Brach subdivision was in direct communication with Richard Emberson, who was the assistant to the president of AUI at the founding of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. In 1957, he became the project manager for the development of Green Bank, West Virginia radio telescopes. Kamen worked with the AUI, the overseeing entity between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NRAO at Green Bank. General Bronze's technical drawings, photographs, and correspondence in 1957–58, at the outset of the design and construction of the Green Bank Telescopes are referenced. However, GBC's bid was not accepted as a contractor for either the 85-foot or the 140-foot radio projects.", "title": "L.S. Brach Manufacturing Corporation and Antennas" }, { "paragraph_id": 22, "text": "On the day the project for the design and construction of the Arecibo Radio telescope was announced at Cornell University, Professor William Gordon of the electrical engineering department envisioned a 133 m (435 ft) single tower centered in a 305 m (1,000 ft) reflector to support an antenna feed. He proposed that this antenna would \"be fed from a horn on a high tower.\" Gordon also suggested a tripod or four-legged design similar to the arches of the St. Louis Gateway Arch to suspend the antenna feed. Subsequently, Cornell University and Zachary Sears published a request for proposal (RFP) requesting a design to support an antenna feed moving along a spherical surface 133 metres (435 ft) above a stationary reflector. The RFP recommended to those chosen antenna companies that a tripod or a tower in the center to support an antenna feed was conceptualised by Gordon.", "title": "L.S. Brach Manufacturing Corporation and Antennas" }, { "paragraph_id": 23, "text": "The RFP was mailed out to all major antenna companies/researchers in the field. George Doundoulakis received the RFP from Aaron Saphier, CEO of General Bronze Corporation. GBC had previously submitted proposals for the radio telescope at Green Bank, WV under the auspices of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory from GBC's Brach subdivision. General Bronze presented their proposal in the final round in December 1959, in Ithaca, New York at Cornell for their antenna suspension design RFPs. Doundoulakis had studied the idea of suspending the feed with his brother, Helias Doundoulakis, a civil engineer who received his master's thesis in bridge suspension from Brooklyn Polytechnic. George Doundoulakis recognised that Gordon's idea of supporting the proposed radio telescope's antenna feed from a tower, tripod, or four-legged structure around the center, (the most crucial area of the reflector), would severely limit the reception of radio waves. George Doundoulakis thought of a more practical way of suspending the antenna feed — by cables from four towers – thereby eliminating the problem of a \"high\" tower in the center of the reflector. Both George and Helias Doundoulakis told professors Gordon and Gold at the RFP meetings on 14 December 1959 \"General Bronze Corporation proposes a radical departure from the other companies: two suspension bridges perpendicular to one another which will double for an antenna.\" He presented this proposal to Cornell University for his idea for three-and-a-half hours, while other companies were given 45 minutes. They explained how the antenna feed would hang at the intersection of two suspension bridges — in turn, supported by four towers — by a doughnut or torus-type truss attached to the antenna feed.\" Doundoulakis informed Professors Gordon and Gold that the tower/tripod/four-legged designs, compared to his towers/suspension bridge idea, were major engineering challenges with high construction costs. Helias Doundoulakis designed the cable suspension system – with assignees William J. Casey and Constantine Michalos – that was finally adopted. It is essentially the same design as in the original drawings by Doundoulakis – although configured with three towers rather than four towers in Doundoulakis, Michalos, and Casey's patent.", "title": "L.S. Brach Manufacturing Corporation and Antennas" }, { "paragraph_id": 24, "text": "Controversy arose after Helias Doundoulakis, Constantine Michalos, and William J. Casey (CIA director under President Ronald Reagan) discovered the suspension design was used by Cornell University without their permission as exclusive patent holders. They subsequently filed a lawsuit, originally for $1.2 million but was settled for $10,000 because \"the defense in a court trial would cost far more than the $10,000 for which the case was settled,\" and accordingly, on April 11, 1975, Doundoulakis v. U.S. (Case 412–72) had been ruled in plaintiff's favor by the United States Court of Federal Claims, that \"(a) a judgment has been entered in favor of the plaintiffs Helias Doundoulakis, William J.

The General Bronze Corporation was an American metals fabricator, and the most recognized company in the architectural bronze and aluminum industry during the first half of the 20th century. It was known for New York City's Seagram Building on Park Avenue designed by Mies van der Rohe, the Atlas and Prometheus bronze sculptures in Rockefeller Center, the bronze doors for the United States Supreme Court, Commerce, and Department of Justice Buildings in Washington, DC, the aluminum windows for the United Nations Secretariat Building and Chase Manhattan Bank Building, and for the design of the Arecibo Radio Telescope suspension system. As American cities evolved, the need for architectural and sculptural bronze increased. An innovative and progressive company, General Bronze Corporation stepped up to supply that demand. It became the dominant leader in the architectural bronze industry for both bronze fabrication and bronze sculpture, and aluminum fabrication in the United States for over three decades. In the early 1950s, General Bronze was also at the forefront of the fledgling television radio industry as a major manufacturer of radio antennas, and one of the first to introduce automatic motorized antennas for the automobile industry. General Bronze's Brach Manufacturing subdivision offered electronics to the early radio telescope field, such as the Green Bank Telescope of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia and the Arecibo Radio Telescope. Overextending their resources by diverting capital from bronze manufacturing to antenna and radio telescope research, concomitant with the declining use of bronze in the construction industry due to changes in architectural style, eclipsed General Bronze's main focus leading to their ultimate demise. In 1967, they were acquired by Allied Products of Chicago, IL, and ceased to exist.

Lockwood Town Hall
Lockwood Town Hall is a former municipal building in the Lockwood suburb of Huddersfield, in England. The Lockwood Local Board was formed in 1863, and it is believed to have been the first small local authority to decide to build a town hall. It demolished an old school on Swan Lane, and completed the new building in 1866. However, in 1868, the township was merged into the County Borough of Huddersfield. The building was converted into a police station and also used for public meetings. It later became an ice cream factory, the base of Dixon's Milk Ices. The building's stonework became discoloured over the years, but it was cleaned in the 1990s. The building was grade II listed in 1978. The two-storey building is built of sandstone, with a hipped slate roof. The ground floor is rusticated, with a cornice above. The building is six bays wide, and two bays deep, with a later single-storey extension on the North Street side. The windows are round-headed. The two central bays come slightly further forward, and are topped by a pediment inscribed "Town 1866 Hall", and a tympanum with sculpted foliage.
