Carol Ng Man-yee (, born 24 October 1970) is a Hong Kong political figure, former chairman of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions, and former member of the Labour Party. She has been actively involved in labor movements over the years, including the "Baggage Gate" incident and the establishment of the British Airways Union. She ran in the 2020 pro-democracy primaries for the Labour Party, losing in the New Territories West constituency. Carol was arrested on 6 January 2021, accused of violating the Hong Kong national security law, after participating in the 2020 Legislative Council primary election, and has been remanded in custody since the end of February. Biography Rookie Singing Contest In 1990, she participated in the 9th TVB New Talent Singing Competition and was a finalist, performing the song "This is Love" by Lam Cho Kei. British Airways Hong Kong Staff Union In 2003, British Airways unilaterally decided to deduct one-third of the staff's double pay, and after repeated unsuccessful negotiations, the company finally declared: "See you in court, you can go to court if you have the ability." The same year, Ng Man-yee founded the British Airways Hong Kong Cabin Crews Union (BAHKICCA) to claim back the salary deductions from British Airways. British Airways Discrimination Transoceanic Class Action The British Airways Hong Kong Cabin Crew Union was dissatisfied with the employer's unwritten rule that local flight attendants should "retire" at the age of 45. The judge ruled that British Airways' Hong Kong aircrews were working on the aircraft and that the aircraft and its company were registered in the United Kingdom, so British Airways' Hong Kong employees should be protected by British law. After six years of litigation, British Airways finally yielded before the final appeal and extended the retirement age of Hong Kong aircrew to 65. British Airways Hong Kong ended operations at its Hong Kong base in October 2018, with all 85 employees, including Ng Man-yee, having their contracts terminated immediately. Baggage Gate Incident In the evening of 27 March 2016, Leung Chung Yan, the youngest daughter of then Chief Executive Leung Chun Ying, left her hand luggage outside the restricted area of the airport, and was later allowed by the Airport Authority to be taken into the restricted area by airline staff without the need for "co-passenger inspection". On 17 April, Ng Man-yee, who was the Chairman of the Airport at the time, staged a sit-in at the airport to demand that the "co-passenger" rule be upheld. Around 2,500 people participated. On 23 August 2018, the High Court ruled in favor of the Airport. When she met with reporters on the day of the ruling, Carol was moved to tears and said that the "peer-to-peer inspection" rule must be strictly enforced and that no one should be allowed to make exceptions, thanking the people of Hong Kong for their concern and support for the incident. August 2019 general strike On 5 August 2019, people in Hong Kong launched the "three strikes", with an estimated 350,000 people taking part and in which the Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU) helped organize. Among them was Carol, then chairwoman of the HKCTU, who said that 95 of its affiliates had launched strikes, and that industries participating in the strikes included the airline industry, buses, retail, catering, financial services and civil servants in the transport sector. In the airline sector, Cathay Pacific Airways needed about 3,000 staff to work every day, and more than 1,500 of them did not attend work, resulting in a large number of flight cancellations; Dragonair needs about 900 people a day, and 500 to 600 of them did not work. There were also no staff at the control tower. Ng described the strike as a new form of protest for the whole movement, using "peace and reason, not superiority" to continue the movement and bring new thinking to the movement. Anti-amendment campaign Since the 5 August general strike, more and more people in the community organized and participated in unions on their own initiative. Man-yee said the CTU received many inquiries, including finance, new civil servants, non-contract civil servants, medical, construction and other industries. Carol said that the CTU would help organize more new unions to defend the political and labor rights of Hong Kong's working women. February 2020 health care workers strike The "HA Staff Front" held a strike for five days since early February 2020, demanding the Hong Kong government to close the border completely to fight against the epidemic Wen Wei Da Gong criticized Carol and the former chairman of the Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Flight Attendants' Association, Anna Shih, for mobilizing health care workers to go on strike. Carol said that the health care workers were not personal interests, but the lives of Hong Kong people, and that the health care workers on strike were not "deserters", but "deserters" from the Mainland. Subsequently, on 4 March 2020, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority declared that it was "considering follow-up action" against the health care workers who had participated in the February five-day strike. Man-yee responded that the Hong Kong government's move was nothing more than an attempt to "destroy" Hong Kong people's legitimate right to strike under Article 27 of the Basic Law, "which will trigger more people to stand up and resist, and the resistance will be more fierce than ever. Pro-democracy Legislative Council primaries and detention She ran in the 2020 pro-democracy Legislative Council primaries for the Labour Party, losing in the New Territories West constituency. Carol was arrested on 6 January 2021, accused of violating the Hong Kong national security law, after participating in the primaries, and has been remanded in custody since the end of February. Man-yee applied for bailed at least twice, withdrawing her application by June 2021.

The Wollaston disaster was a railway accident that occurred on October 8, 1878, in the Wollaston neighborhood of Quincy, Massachusetts. 19 people were killed and 170 were injured when an incorrectly placed switch caused the derailment of a excursion train returning from a sporting event. The conductor who placed the switch was convicted of manslaughter, however the conviction was overturned on appeal. Silver Lake special A special train had been prepared for spectators returning from the well-attended Reagan-Davis sculling race on Silver Lake in Plympton, Massachusetts. The train was made up of two locomotives, a baggage car where the racing shells were stored, a compartment coach where race officials, journalists, and one of the principals of the race, Patrick Reagan, were seated, and twenty passenger cars. In total the special contained 1,600 to 1,800 passengers. The train was not running on a set schedule and as was the case with late-running special trains, a notice was sent to railroad employees giving the train the right-of-way after 4 pm. It did not depart Silver Lake until around 6:30 pm. Newport freight train At 6:30 pm, the regularly-scheduled Newport local freight train departed Boston. The train, which consisted of an engine and 15 freight cars, was short-staffed as one of the brakemen had gone home sick earlier that day. It was against the rules of the road for the train to go out, however the conductor, Charles H. Hartwell incorrectly assumed that the Silver Lake special had already reached Boston and he was not informed to the contrary. He was instructed to pick up five empty flat cars from the Wollaston Foundry siding. Upon reaching the foundry, two switches were opened and the train was divided to put the cars in the center. Accident Around 7:30 pm, the foundry car was moved across the inward track to the outward track and put in place. At this time, the excursion train approached on the inward track. The freight train's engineer was able to move his engine and all of the cars attached to it out of the way of the Silver Lake special, however there was not enough time between the crossing of the foundry car and the arrival of the Silver Lake special to close the switches. With both switches set wrong, the special should have stayed on the rails and stopped on the siding. However, one of the switches was out of line, causing the special to strike the end of the rail and derail. Several of the excursion train's cars telescoped, the compartment car was smashed, and three or four cars mounted on top of each other. The two locomotives, baggage car, compartment car, and four passenger cars came off the track. The cylinder of the second locomotive entered the side of the compartment car, killing all but one of its occupants. A total of 17 passengers and two railroad employees died and 166 passengers and 4 railroad employees were injured. Investigation and trial The Massachusetts Railroad Commission's investigation into the accident found the engineer and conductor of the freight train to be "guilty of gross and criminal negligence" and called for the arrest of the conductor, Charles H. Hartwell. On October 11, 1878, Massachusetts Attorney General Charles R. Train asked the Massachusetts State Police to arrest Hartwell. Hartwell made a statement to police claiming that he had written orders from his superior to act in the manner he did when the accident occurred. The following day he was arranged on the charge of manslaughter and held on $10,000 bail. A formal inquest was conducted by Judge Everett C. Bumpus. Hartwell's attorney blamed the accident on the Newport train's headlight, which prevented the engineer of the excursion train from seeing the switch and danger signals until it was only a few hundred feet away. The defense counsel contended that had the engineer seen the red switch lights and the signal lantern, the accident would have been prevented. Bumpus found Hartwell was guilty of gross negligence for running short-staffed and not notifying his managers, allowed his train to stand on the outward track unsignalled, and directed his engine to occupy the inward track, and caused the switches to be changed and remained unlocked without leaving the inward track singalled. He also found the engineer of the freight train, Charles H. Hurlburt, to be negligent for occupying the inward track without a signal. As for the excursion train, he concluded that Charles Westgate should not have been engineer of the lead locomotive due to his inexperience with the road. Lastly he criticized the lack of communication, stating that if either the freight train or excursion train had been notified of the other's presence, the accident would have been avoided. Hartwell's trial began on April 22, 1879. On April 24 the jury found him guilty after one hour of deliberation. According to the New York Times, the jurors "would have liked to return a different verdict, but it was impossible" based on the instructions given by the Judge. The Times also noted that "the public sympathy for Hartwell appears to be very general and the feeling that he is made a scapegoat is wide-spread". On February 27, 1880, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court overturned the verdict, holding that the lower court had erred by not requiring the prosecution to prove that Hartwell knew that the arrival of the excursion train was imminent and that there was no evidence to prove this allegation.

Gwinyai Chingoka (27 September 1982 – 27 January 2022) was a former Zimbabwean tennis player. He represented Zimbabwe at the Davis Cup. He was affectionately known as Shumba in the sporting circles due to his stamina and strength while playing tennis. His father Paul Chingoka was a former President of the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee and former President of Tennis Zimbabwe. His uncle Douglas Chingoka was a basketball player and football player who also turned up in the position as a striker for club Dynamos. Career He was introduced to the sport of tennis at a young age by his father and soon rose to prominence at junior level and was also considered as one of the top junior tennis players in Zimbabwe. He reached his highest career ITF junior ranking of 112 in April 2000 and has recorded a winning percentage of 74 in his junior career. Due to his emergence as a junior level tennis player, he received a tennis scholarship from the Southern Methodist University in Texas, United States. He was adjudged as the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year for 2001–02 season for his commendable performances in sports. He was subsequently named in the Zimbabwean Davis Cup squad for the 2003 Davis Cup. However, he made only one appearance in the team competition at the 2003 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I round in a men's doubles match teaming up with Genius Chidzikwe against Israel which eventually ended up in a losing cause. He also featured in one singles match in the tournament but lost it in straight sets to Israel's Jonathan Erlich. In August 2003, he took part in the Dairibord Zimbabwe Open and reached semi-final round of the tournament after creating a huge upset victory in the quarter-finals over Peter Nyamande who was one of the hot favorites of the tournament. He turned the game on his head and found himself as the top seed in the 2003 Zimbabwe Open with many high-profile local tennis players being absent from the competition owing to various reasons. He also went onto pursue a degree in Economics in the Southern Methodist University in 2001 and graduated from the university in 2005. Once he completed his tennis scholarship in 2005, he returned to his home country Zimbabwe and played tennis for over six years. He later retired from the sport as of late 2011 and then began focusing on coaching junior tennis players. He also worked at Telecel Zimbabwe as a sales representative during his latter part of his life while also being committed as a coach at the Harare Sports Club. Death He sustained severe fractures on his left leg and elbow during a road accident which took place on a late night in Harare on 16 January 2022 when he was on his way to home after attending a private function at the Harare Sports Club. It was reported that he was hit by a car which was incidentally driven by Zimbabwean cricketer Tarisai Musakanda. It was also later revealed that Musakanda had immediately stopped his car at the scene of the accident and had rushed to the West End Hospital taking injured Chingoka in his car. Chingoka died on 27 January 2022 after spending 10 days in the Intensive Care Unit at the age of 39 and the post-morterm report ruled that the road accident was the root cause for his death. Musakanda was later charged with culpable homicide and for failure to report the accident to the police preceding 24 hours of the incident.

Samuel Hentges is an American ice hockey right wing currently attending St. Cloud State University. He was a member of United States national team at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Playing career Hentges was a star forward for his high school team, Totino-Grace High School, averaging more than two points per game as a senior. He was less effective during his only season of junior hockey, which was split between two teams, but was still thought of well enough for the Minnesota Wild to select him in the NHL Draft. The following year he debuted for St. Cloud State. While providing secondary scoring for the Huskies, he helped the team finish atop the NCHC standings. While the team lost in the conference championship game, they still received the top overall seed and were set against the lowest-ranked team for their first game in the NCAA Tournament. Hentges wasn't able to stop one of the more stunning's upsets in NCAA history when St. Cloud State fell to American International, 1–2. Hentges increased his standing on the Huskies during his sophomore season, though the team wasn't nearly as dominant. St. Cloud finished 5th in the conference, however, before their postseason began, the entire college hockey season was ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the start of the following season was delayed for the same reason, Hentges didn't get off to a great start offensively. He did, however, help lead the team through an uncertain season and finish 2nd in the NCHC. After finishing as the NCHC runner-up, St. Cloud received a second seed and made up for their dismal performance in 2019 by reach their first championship game. Hentges only recorded a single assist in the four games. For his senior season, Hentges missed the first two months of the year with upper- and lower-body injuries. His first game action came on the final day of the year and, even after the NHL announced that they wouldn't be sending any players to the Winter Olympics, Hentges didn't think he had a chance to make the team. However, after his head coach, Brett Larson, was named as an assistant coach for the United States national team, Hentges was invited to join the squad. He played in two games while the team finished in a disappointing 5th place.

The Works of art in The Aesthetics of Resistance are those included in Peter Weiss' novel The Aesthetics of Resistance. They form a kind of musée imaginaire (imagined museum) with more than a hundred named artists and just as many artworks, mainly of the visual arts and literature, but also of music and the performing arts. Peter Weiss wrote the three-volume novel, which runs to around 1000 pages, between 1971 and 1981. The plot is set between 1936 and 1945, that is located in Nazi Berlin, Spain during the civil war, Paris before the World War II and Stockholm as one of the places of refuge for the German exiles. The characters are based on real personalities, the main protagonists organising themselves in the resistance group known as the Red Orchestra. Representations of artists, works of art, their contexts and backgrounds are included in the plot line and form a web of mutual interconnections. The reception takes place in multi-layered reflections by the protagonists of the novel, through the reference to historical and political events, to mythological set pieces, to artists' biographies, to dream images or in critical questioning. List of artworks The following list contains about one hundred works of art in the visual arts, literature and music that are extensively discussed, named, enumerated or included in Aesthetics of Resistance. In addition, motifs of mythology as well as events and places directly related to Peter Weiss' reception of art are included in the list. The artworks and backgrounds are largely arranged in the order in which they appear in the book. Exceptions are motifs that receive a more detailed description after a brief mention on later pages. The hundred or so artists featured in the novel can be found in the list of artists in Aesthetics of Resistance.

Prize is an album by the American musician Arto Lindsay, released in 1999. Lindsay considered it an attempt at pop music; it is one of a number of his solo albums inspired by the Brazilian music he heard while growing up in the country. Production The album was produced by Lindsay, Melvin Gibbs, and Andres Levin. It was recorded in Bahia and New York. Five of the songs are sung in Portuguese. Vinicius Cantuaria and Skoota Warner contributed to the album; Beans rapped on "Prefeelings". Critical reception Robert Christgau stated that the songs float by "on the sinuous current and spring-fed babble of a Brazilian groove bent, folded, spindled, and mutilated by the latest avant-dance fads and electronic developments." The Riverfront Times wrote: "Sensuous and ripe, exotic and incandescent, Prize pulsates along rhythms whose headwaters are found in the airy heights of Brazilian tropicalia jazz." Newsday thought that "the disc has the soft, understated swing of bossa nova—even Lindsay's occasionally skronk guitar doesn't much disturb its romantic patina." The Los Angeles Times noted that "this master alchemist likes to offset his love of lush, tropical music with sharp, modernist accents." The Orlando Sentinel determined that "Lindsay's slightly out-of-focus singing has a dreamy gentleness that helps unite the strikingly disparate elements on Prize ... the bossa nova and samba prove perfectly compatible with elements of avant-electronica and obstreperous art-rock." AllMusic wrote that "the drum'n'bass textures that lay on the surface of his last album like laminate are more fully integrated this time out: 'Prefeelings' combines a fractured breakbeat with salsa-fied acoustic guitar and saxophones." The Independent listed Prize as one of the 15 best pop albums of 1999. Track listing References Arto Lindsay albums 1999 albums

This article outlines the grammar of Evenki language in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts. Morphology notes Vowel harmony Like other Tungusic languages, Evenki employs vowel harmony. There are two rows ("first and second row") with two effectively neutral vowels, (i) and (u). Syllables containing first row vowels can only be followed by another syllables that contain first row vowels ( (anaktad’aran) "pushes") Nouns Pluralization There are some rules of forming Evenki plurals: The plural suffixes -л (-l) after vowels or -ил (-il) after consonants are usually used. бур (bur) : бурил (buril) "islands" дю̄ (ʒū) : дю̄л (ʒul) "yurts" However, after -н (-n), -р (-r) is used instead and the final consonant before the suffix is removed. орон (oron) : орор (oror) "deers" Some nouns use -сал (-sal) in addition to the previous two suffixes. Notice that this suffix also removes -н (-n) from the stem. киран (kiran) : кирасал (kirasal) "eagles" There are also some irregular plurals of kinship terms: амын (amin) : амтыл (amtil) "fathers" эмын (emin) : эмтыл (emtil) "mothers" акин (akin) : акнил (aknil) "older brothers" экин (ekin) : экнил (eknil) "older sisters" нэкун (nəkun) : нэкнил (nəknil) "younger brothers, younger sisters" аса (asa) : асил (asil) "women" хунаг (hunag) : хунил (hunil) "girls" Cases Evenki nouns are inflected for 13 cases: nominative, accusative, accusative indefinite, dative, illative, locative, prosecutive (longitudinal), directional locative, directional prosecutive, deferred, initial, instrumental, and joint cases. Possession Evenki nouns can also inflected for possession. References Grammars of specific languages Tungusic languages
Robert Whittey, or Whitty (1370–1458) was a fifteenth century Bishop of Ferns in Ireland, notable for his long tenure of the see, and his great age at death. He was the son of Sir Richard Whitty of Ballyteige Castle, outside Kilmore Quay, County Wexford. The Whittys were early Anglo-Norman settlers in Wexford. Ballyteige was burnt around 1408 but quickly rebuilt: one tower of the castle still stands. Robert himself was in residence at Ballyteige in 1425. The Whittys retained possession of Ballyteige until they were expelled by Cromwellian forces in 1654. Robert was precentor of Ferns Cathedral, and was appointed bishop in February 1418. At that time the town of New Ross, the effective centre of the diocese, had long been under a papal interdict, as a punishment for a riot which resulted in the killing of the monks of the Order of Crutched Friars by the townspeople. The Bishop worked hard to have the interdict lifted, and was finally successful in 1435 in persuading Pope Eugenius IV to grant absolution to the townspeople of New Ross. As his age grew, his health began to fail, and he is said to have been bed-ridden in his last years. Accordingly, a statute of 1450 excused him from any further attendance at sessions of parliament or meetings of the Great Council, due to his "age and infirmity". He resigned the see in 1457, after a forty-year tenure, and died the following year, aged eighty-eight. Sources Grattan-Flood, W.H.

Panta Rhei is a Dutch short documentary film by Bert Haanstra, first shown in 1952. It portrays the motions of nature, edited rhythmically with alternating footage of water, clouds and vegetation, sometimes using time-lapse photography. It was Haanstra's fourth film as director and like many of his early films it does not feature any humans. The title is a Greek phrase associated with the philosopher Heraclitus and the concept that everything is in a constant state of becoming something else. The film competed at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival. Critics have highlighted its rhythmicality and vision of nature. Synopsis The black and white, eleven minutes long film is a poetic and partially abstract portrayal of motion in nature. The sun rises and shines through a forest grove, creating moving shadows and reflections in pools of water. Footage of flowing water and fast-moving clouds dissolve into each other. Floating foam and glittering water surfaces interplay with time-lapse footage of clouds and opening flowers. Shallow waves on a beach alternate with crystals. Fast clouds alternate with winds blowing through vegetation and waves in slow motion. There is a single lightning strike. Clouds move over land and a town, partially blocking the sunlight. Swirling leaves fall to the ground and alternate with a large swarm of birds that fills the sky and moves in wavy patterns. As the sun sets, shadows from trees move across the ground, a low wave hits a beach and clouds move rapidly in the sky. It is dark for a moment before the sun rises again and a sunflower opens. Production Panta Rhei was the fourth film Bert Haanstra directed and it was made right after his film Mirror of Holland had won the Short Film Grand Prix at the 1951 Cannes Film Festival. Like several of Haanstra's early films, it is based on rhythms, patterns and associations. Haanstra later explained this by saying he was not yet ready to cope with humans. Haanstra was the writer, director, cinematographer and editor of Panta Rhei. was producer and the production company was Forum Film. Haanstra and Van Mock nearly fell out at the start of production when Haanstra found out the latter had discussed the film at the without bringing him along. The title is the Greek phrase which means "everything flows". It comes from Plato's dialogue Cratylus where it is associated with the philosopher Heraclitus. Haanstra did not study Heraclitus' philosophy but was fascinated by the concept that everything continuously becomes something else. He thought cinema suited this concept by being able to capture natural movements at unusual speeds, allowing the filmmaker to compose movements into a flowing rhythm. Haanstra made a distinction between movement and film movement, inspired by the filmmaker collective that had been active in the Netherlands two decades earlier. Panta Rhei had the working title Vier dansen (), which referred to its movements and its originally conceived four themes: nature, animals, city and labour. The city and labour themes were eventually removed entirely and the animal theme reduced to a swarm of birds. The soundtrack consists of a modernist chamber music score by Max Vredenburg. The music involves a harp arpeggio when water reflects the sun, a solo flute and bassoon lines accompanying natural sounds, an oboe motif to footage of opening flowers and a harpsichord ostinato during close-ups of streaming water. Reception Panta Rhei premiered on 8 March 1952 during the opening event of the Netherlands Film Museum in Amsterdam. It was shown in the short film competition programme of the 1952 Cannes Film Festival. The media historian Erik Barnouw stressed how Panta Rhei consists of elements of nature that rhythmically dissolve into each other, which he said reveals "a surpriseing identity" between them. According to Barnouw, the film shows how Haanstra from the start of his career assumed the role of "the perspective observer, coaxing the viewer into sharing his vision". The film historian Peter Cowie writes that despite its title, Panta Rhei does not have any of the gloom associated with Heraclitus, but engages in "extolling nature" and "showing the sensuous undercurrent of life itself". Hans Schoots writes in his doctoral dissertation that Panta Rhei is similar to Mirror of Holland in its form, motifs and alternating tempo, and it features the same effect of sunlight through a forest as Haanstra's first short film, The Muider Group Revived (1948). Schoots says the editing and frequent use of "image rhyme" in Panta Rhei suggest that the different elements of nature form one whole, which is in constant motion and framed in the film by the "primeval fire" of the rising and setting sun. In an essay about the film, the media studies scholar Anke Steinborn writes that it on its basic level reproduces nature's rhythms. She discusses its aesthetics in relation to how Martin Heidegger interpreted the philosophy of Heraclitus, and the film's place in the history of rhythmic cinema, comparing it to the silent film Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis (1927) and other films from the Weimar Republic. The musicologist Emile Wennekes says Vredenburg's music score strengthens the visual impressions, creating an "unpretentious and organic unity" of images and sound.

Charles Atherton (1805 – 24 May 1875) was a British scientific engineer from Calne, Wiltshire. He was appointed as Chief Engineer and Inspector of Steam Machinery at Her Majesty's Woolwich Dockyard in 1847; and a second time between 1851 and 1862. He served in the same capacity at Her Majesty's Devonport Dockyard between 1848 and 1851. Early life Atherton was born into a wealthy landowning family from Wiltshire. He was the third son of Nathan Atherton (1775–1831), a solicitor who practiced in his home town of Calne, Wiltshire. His mother was Charlotte Adam (1776–1826). Atherton attended Queens' College, Cambridge from the age of nineteen and undertook a four-year course fit for the engineering profession. Career Atherton became a scientific engineer, at a time when the practice of the profession was not formalised, and exact principles were still to be laid down. His focus was marine engineering, when steamships were comparatively in their infancy. After graduation he entered the employ of the engineer Thomas Telford as a wrangler, on St Katharine Docks in London. Upon these works being completed in 1830, he was sent to Edinburgh, to superintend the erection of the Dean Bridge. He contributed an account of its construction to the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is quoted by Thomas Telford in his "Life and Works". During 1832, Atherton transferred to Glasgow, initially to superintend as resident engineer the construction of Glasgow Bridge by John Gibb. Subsequently, upon recommendation of James Walker, he was appointed by the Trustees of the River Clyde as their resident engineer. He prepared a plan for extending a wooden wharf on the south side of the Broomielaw Harbour. However, in 1834, he resigned from his appointment under the Trustees of the River Clyde, to take on the management of the old-established business of Claude Girdwood and Co, iron founders and engineers, in Glasgow, where he remained until 1837. It was here that Atherton was able to focus on steam machinery design and build. He was responsible for several marine engines, notably for the steamer RMS Don Juan, being constructed in Liverpool for the Peninsular Steam Company. Atherton collaborated on an infrastructure engineering project on the Dyle River in Mechelen, Belgium. Thereafter, he relocated to North America, and was engaged for two years under the Canadian Colonial Government, conducting operations for the improvement of the navigation of the St. Lawrence River, along with deepening of the Lachine Canal, to allow heavier ships to pass through, since hydraulic power was introduced to the industries located on its banks. Atherton also carried out surveys and investigations of Lake Saint Pierre. It was during this time that Canada was established under the Act of Union. Upon leaving Canada, he spent a year working in the United States, returning to England in 1845. In 1846 he was appointed Assistant to the Chief Engineer in Woolwich Dockyard, and assumed the role of Chief Engineer on 6 April 1847. In the preceding decade the dockyard had found a new lease of life as a specialist yard for marine steam engineering (a relatively new technology which was being developed commercially at nearby Millwall). Immediately prior to Atherton’s tenure, new buildings were constructed for steam manufacturing and maintenance, including a boiler shop for manufacturing boilers, foundries for brass, copper and iron work, and an erecting shop for assembling the steam engines; by 1843 all had been integrated into a single factory complex, with a single large chimney drawing on all the various forges and furnaces by way of underground flues. Integral to the creation of the steam factory was the conversion of two mast ponds (which lay to the north of what is now Ruston Road) into steam basins, where ships could moor alongside the factory while their engines and boilers were fitted. One of these basins was provided with its own dry dock (No. 1 Dock). Although the steam factory was part of the dockyard, it had a high degree of independence: it was accessed by its own gate (known as the West Gate or Steam Factory Gate) and overseen by its own official, the Chief Engineer. As Chief Engineer of Woolwich Dockyard, Atherton was called upon to give evidence before various Parliamentary Committees appointed to inquire into Dockyard affairs. Records show that his recommendations in 1847 were proposed to George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland and subsequently endorsed, making way for expansion in build capacity and use of new technology at the dockyard. The Illustrated London News reported on 19 June 1847, complete with illustrations of Atherton hosting the visit of the Russian Royal tour party to Woolwich Dockyard, where he demonstrated British steam technological advancements to the Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia (1827–1892). During 1848, Atherton made improvements to a Minx class steam vessel, an iron half-sister to wooden Teazer. The screw propeller submitted by a Mr. B Woodcroft was slightly altered on the suggestion of Atherton, in his capacity as chief engineer and inspector of steam machinery at the dockyard. Woodcroft's screw propelled the vessel at the rate of nine knots per hour, and when at its greatest velocity the engines performed about three revolutions per minute more than with any of the other screws. Atherton had considerable influence within the British government, and reported his professional views to the Admiralty throughout his employ. His reports were not confined merely to matters of engine detail, but engineering processes and improvements in the safety of steam ships, which included Engine Classification (1846); Proposal for making the Government Factories Practical Training schools for Naval Engineers (1847); Marine Boiler Classification (1847 and 1848); Steam-ship Ventilation by the Agency of the Funnel, and Proposed Boiler Arrangement for Ships of War (1849 and 1850). His patent of "Steam Engine" (No. 12,960) was registered on 7 February 1850. Atherton made an impact during a period of rapid industrialisation and exhibited his inventions at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Atherton's scientific, architectural, engineering and educational works were published by John Weale and John Grant of Woolwich on the following subjects: Marine Engine Construction and Classification (1851); Steam-ship Capability (1853), and a second edition, with Appendix on the Capability of large Ships (1854); and Capability of Steamships for Mercantile Transport Service, a paper for which he received the medal of the Royal Society of Arts in 1855. In mercantile shipping, he was recognised during his lifetime for having published papers on Tonnage Registration, Mercantile Steam Transport Economy, and Freight Charges as affected by Differences in the Dynamic Properties of Steamships; the three last having been communicated to the British Association in Cheltenham in 1856. He transferred to Her Majesty's Devonport Dockyard in December 1848, as Chief Engineer and Inspector of steam machinery and remained in this role until 8 September 1851, when he was re-transferred to Woolwich Dockyard, where he remained until 26 July 1862, upon retirement from service to Her Majesty's Government. Atherton established himself as a consulting engineer in Whitehall, for which his broad range of construction and mechanical engineering experience suited him. He pursued this career path for a further eight years until retirement. During this time he continued to register patents for buoys, pontoons and beacons in multiple countries. His final registered patent was related to steering ships. Legacy His influence on improving safety of all types of ships – mercantile, passenger and Royal Navy – has been significant and will have saved multiple lives by way of a reduction in the risk of accidents, often arising from gross negligence and human error. During his lifetime, the Officers of the Board of Trade had a duty of surveying passenger steamers periodically and reporting that the "Hull & Machinery" of the vessel was safe before issuing a Certificate or License. If it was withheld, then the vessel was prohibited from carrying passengers. Thomas Farrer, 1st Baron Farrer included Atherton's detailed reports and recommendations when corresponding with Michael Faraday in 1859. He was a prolific author of articles in The Times, Mechanics Magazine and the Journal of the Society of Arts. He also assessed those wishing to pursue their careers in a specialist field of study. The National Portrait Gallery, London has a silhouette by Auguste Edouart, from 1830 that includes Atherton whilst a bachelor. Memberships Atherton was a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, founded in 1818, having been elected a Member on 19 February 1828, when Thomas Telford was president of the body, and he is said to have acted for some time as its Secretary. He was a frequent attendant at the meetings of this Institution, and used it as a platform for enforcing his views on the subject he had most at heart; the improvement of the marine steam engine. Personal He married Christina Ferrie (1813–1862), the daughter of Robert Ferrie of Blairtummock, Glasgow. His brother, Nathan Atherton (1798–1885) married Sabina Bernard and had a law practice in London, following his father's footsteps. Sabina Atherton was recorded as a visitor at his Devonport home in the 1851 census, months before their return to London. In 1870, Atherton retired to Sandown in the Isle of Wight, where he passed the last five years of his life in seclusion, his chief recreations being the care of an orchard-house, and taking astronomical observations with a 3-inch telescope. He died at the age of 75, on 24 May 1875, at his home on the Isle of Wight.

Tūrongo was a Māori rangatira (chief) in the Tainui confederation of tribes, based at Rangiātea, near Waikeria, New Zealand. He quarrelled with his brother, Whatihua, and as a result Tainui was split between them, with Tūrongo receiving the southern Waikato region. He probably lived in the early sixteenth century. Life Tūrongo was a male-line descendant of Hoturoa, leader of the Tainui waka through his father Tāwhao. Tāwhao married two daughters of Te Aorere, another descendant of Hoturoa, Pūnui-a-te-kore and Maru-tē-hiakina. Tūrongo was born to the senior wife, Pūnui-a-te-kore, but his half-brother Whatihua was born before him to Maru-tē-hiakina. As a result, the relative status of the two sons was unclear and they competed for pre-eminence. As youths, Whatihua and Tūrongo went hunting kūaka (Bar-tailed godwits) on Kaiwhai island off Kāwhia. At first all the birds came to Tūrongo and he caught great numbers, but while he was focussed on cooking the birds, Whatihua snuck up behind him and "snatched the hau" (the spiritual essence) from Tūrongo's head. After that all of Tūrongo's mana passed to Whatihua. Courtship of Rua-pū-tahanga When the two brothers reached adulthood, Tūrongo travelled south to Patea and got engaged to Rua-pū-tahanga, a descendant of Turi, leader of the Aotea canoe. He then returned to Kāwhia and began to build a house at Te Whare-o-Ngarue in Kāwhia in preparation for her arrival. As he was working on the house, Whatihua came and advised him that the planned house was too big, convincing him to shorten the tāhuhu (ridge beam) in order to complete the task on time. He also convinced him to plant huge gardens, using up all of his kumara, so that he had none remaining in his storerooms. Meanwhile, Whatihua built his own house at Te Wharenui ('The Big House') on the Aotea Harbour, where it is said that the outline of the house is still visible in the grass in the summer. While Tūrongo was waiting to harvest his kumara, Whatihua summoned Rua-pū-tahanga from Patea. Rua-pū-tahanga made the journey up the Whanganui River, through Tāngarākau, and Ōhura, into the Mokau Valley. The places Te Umu-Kaimata, Taorua, and Te Puna-a-Rua-pū-tahanga are named after events that took place on her journey. When she arrived at Kāwhia, Tūrongo had no food for her and his house was too small to fit all the people whom she had brought along with her, while Whatihua had plenty of food and space, so she married him instead. Beaten, Tūrongo left Kāwhia. The sad song, Hei konā ra, e whare kikino, tū mai ai ("Farewell, evil house, remain there") that Tūrongo sung as he departed is preserved in Āpirana Ngata's collection of Māori songs, Nga Moteatea. Courtship of Māhina-o-rangi Tūrongo travelled east, seeking to marry Māhina-o-rangi, daughter of Te Angiangi (also called Te Angi-o-tū). When he arrived at her village near Pukehou in Hawke's Bay, he found the people building a house and joined in the work, impressing the people with his skill at splitting timber. Privately Te Angiangi encouraged his daughter to take him as a husband. For a number of nights, Māhina-o-rangi covered herself in raukawa perfume and met Tūrongo as he was heading to sleep, without revealing who she was. Eventually, this became public knowledge and the pair were married. Return to Waikato After the marriage had taken place, Tūrongo's elderly father, Tāwhao, travelled to Pukehou and invited Tūrongo to return to Kāwhia. There he divided his lands between Whatihua and Tūrongo, roughly along the aukati line that later formed the northern boundary of the King Country. The north went to Whatihua, who remained at Kāwhia, while the south went to Tūrongo, who was sent inland and settled at Rangiātea, near Waikeria and Otorohanga. Tūrongo had told Māhina-o-rangi to come to join him when she was ready to give birth. When that time approached, she went with a party of her people via Lake Waikaremoana, Te Wairoa, and Rotorua, before heading west. At Ōkoroire and the hot spring where she bathed afterwards is now known as Te Wai Takahanga a Māhina-o-rangi. She named the son Raukawa, after the perfume she had worn when giving birth. Then she carried on, crossing the Waikato River north of Cambridge. At this point her dog ran off to Tūrongo and brought him to meet Māhina-o-rangi. Tūrongo led her and her people to Rangiātea, and carried out the tohi baptismal ritual for Raukawa. The family are mentioned in a nineteenth century song, Te pātere a Ngoki. The official residence of the Maori king and the meeting house at Turangawaewae marae in Ngaruawahia are Turongo House and Mahinarangi meeting house, named in honour of the couple. The names were suggested by Sir Āpirana Ngata, to commemorate the links between Tainui and Ngāti Porou, which had supplied funding and carvers for the construction of the buildings. Family Tūrongo and Māhina-o-rangi had two offspring: Raukawa, the ancestor of Ngāti Raukawa, who had four sons, with Turongoihi: Rereahu Kurawari, who married a distant cousin, Wharerere, and had several children: Whāita Korokore, who married Parahore and whose death sparked the Ngāti Raukawa-Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga War Whakatere Takihiku, Tama-te-hura Upoko-iti, who joined the war against Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga and was father of Te Ata-inutai, who led a raid against Tuwharetoa. Wairangi, the ancestor of Ngāti Wairangi Pipito, an ancestor of Te Rauparaha. Hinewai, who married Mōtai, a son of Tūrongo's brother Whatihua, and had a son Kura-nui, whose daughter Rerei-ao married Pikiao, ancestor of Ngāti Pikiao, creating a link between Tainui and Te Arawa that was considered very important in Tainui whakapapa.

The Neue Wiener Tagblatt was a daily newspaper published in Vienna from 1867 to 1945. It was one of the highest-circulation newspapers in Austria before 1938. History The newspaper was founded by Eduard Mayer as a successor to the Wiener Journal. The first issue appeared on March 10, 1867, the year of the Compromise with Hungary and the enactment of the so-called December Constitution, valid until 1918. As early as July 13, 1867, the publisher Moritz Szeps, who had left the Morgen-Post newspaper in a dispute, took over. From 1870 he supported Josef Schöffel with a campaign in his successful fight for the Vienna Woods. Szeps' connection to Crown Prince Rudolf meant that anonymous political texts by the crown prince could repeatedly appear in the paper, in which he advocated the liberal, progressive development of Austria. Szeps remained the sole owner and publisher of the paper until May 15, 1872, then contributed the paper to the Steyrermühl-Verlag publishing house, which he had co-founded in 1872, and remained the paper's publisher as a shareholder until October 15, 1886. From 1874 onward, the newspaper was Vienna's highest-circulation paper. It was German liberal and anti-Marxist, but did not develop a clear stance on the emerging mass parties of the Christian Socialists and the Social Democrats in the monarchy. In the First Republic, the paper published by the Steyrermühl Group became the political mouthpiece of Rudolf Sieghart, the autocratic head of the Bodencreditanstalt, which Steyrermühl financed. The paper's line supported the Heimwehren and the policies of the Christian Social Party. This did not change even after the collapse of the Bodencreditanstalt in October 1929 and Sieghart's withdrawal. The newspaper welcomed the shutdown of parliament in March 1933, although it expressed concerns about the preservation of freedom of expression.. Expropriation and restructuring 1938 After Austria's annexation by Nazi Germany in March 1938, the newspaper was immediately put at the service of the Nazi propaganda apparatus. Editor-in-chief Emil Löbl was replaced by a Nazi party member on the evening of March 11, 1938, before the Wehrmacht marched in. On July 27, 1938, the owners of the newspaper were forced to sell the paper to a Berlin trust company, which on September 15, 1938, incorporated it into the new Ostmärkische Zeitungsverlagsgesellschaft, behind whose straw man was the Nazi publishing house, Franz-Eher-Verlag. On January 31, 1939, the Neue Wiener Journal was discontinued and, together with the traditional paper Neue Freie Presse, was incorporated into the Neue Wiener Tagblatt. The last issue of the newspaper appeared on April 7, 1945, when the Battle of Vienna bega.. Tagblatt-Archives The extensive Tagblatt archive was the only Viennese newspaper archive to survive the war. It was first taken over in 1945 by the communist Globus publishing house, which was designated by the Soviet occupying power as the user of Steyrermühl structures, and then by the Vienna Chamber of Labor. Since 2002, the Tagblatt archive has been part of the holdings of the Vienna Library in City Hall.

The Tietz department store in Wuppertal-Elberfeld (today Galeria Kaufhof) is a historically significant department store building. Early history The Tietz department store was cofounded by Hermann Tietz (1837-1907) in 1882. The building was designed by Wilhelm Kreis, one of the leading architects of the time, who also designed the Bismarck Tower in Wuppertal, on behalf of Leonhard Tietz AG as a multi-department store based on the French model. It was built in 1911/1912 and opened on April 24, 1912 at Neumarkt in Elberfeld (today No. 26). The immense variety of goods under one roof offered the population of the time a completely new shopping experience. Prior to this, a first branch existed on Herzogstrasse from 1885, which was considered Germany's first department store. Nazi-era seizure When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, the Tietz were persecuted because of their Jewish heritage. The store was boycotted. All businesses of the Tietz family were "Aryanized" (i.e., seized from Jews and transferred to non-Jewish owners) and the family members emigrated. The Tietz department store was "aryanised" in 1934. Oscar's son Martin Tietz migrated with his wife to Liechtenstein in 1939 and his assets were seized by the Gestapo.[3] In 1933, Georg Karg, the new non-Jewish owner, changed the company’s name to "Hertie Department Stores" as an abbreviation of Hermann Tietz. Oscar Tietz's son-in-law, Hugo Zwillenberg was arrested by the Gestapo in 1938, imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp for three weeks after which he and emigrated to the Netherlands. Postwar The department store, which was partially destroyed during the war, was rebuilt after 1945. The striking sandstone facade on Neumarkt had to give way to a steel construction, but the north facade on today's Neumarktstrasse was preserved. The implementation of the Galeria concept of the Kaufhof company took place in 2000. Literature Max Creutz: Das Warenhaus Tietz in Elberfeld, von Prof. Wilhelm Kreis …. X.

Jean-Joseph Sanfourche was a French painter, poet, designer and sculptor. Biography He was born in Bordeaux on June 25, 1929. When Jean-Joseph was 4 years old, the family moved to Rochefort, Charente-Maritime department. Arthur - the father of Jean-Joseph, was a mechanic and draftsman, it was he who gave him the first lessons in artistic skills. In 1942, after the outbreak of World War II and the occupation of France by the Nazis, the family was arrested by the Gestapo. In 1943, his father was shot, and Jean-Joseph and his mother were released and deported to the city of Limoges. Here he lived until he came of age, studying accounting, and at the same time carving wood and drawing at a state vocational school. Despite a progressive eye disease that eventually made him visually impaired, he also began to paint. Having reached the age of majority, he moved to Paris, where after some time he became the technical director of a textile factory, and at the age of twenty-five, he became the head of a garment production. After 20 years in the industrial sector, he moved to the civil service and worked for some time in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Later he lived in the city of his childhood - Limoges, and since 1975 - in the small town of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat nearby. In 1992, French President François Mitterrand made him a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. He died on March 13, 2010, at the age of 80 in the hospital of the town of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat. Work Jean-Joseph Sanfourche did not have an art education and said about himself: “I am not an artist, but a person who makes things on the verge of art”. He was a prominent representative of the artistic direction of art brut. From the age of 6, he began to draw, and later turned art into the main occupation of his life. Sanfursh was a multifaceted author - he is the author of graphic and pictorial works, sculptures made of stone, wood and bronze. Beginning in the late 1960s, he used unusual materials, such as flint and bone, on which he depicted little people of color. Santurs' works are in many museums and private collections, including the Collection de l'art brut in Lausanne, the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris in Paris, the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels and others. Jean-Joseph Sanfourche collaborated and closely communicated with many famous artists, including the artist Gaston Chaissac, the writer Antonin Artaud, the sculptor Jean Dubuffet.
