The contest has been credited with making high-quality self-published novels discoverable, and with boosting the careers of the winners. Though not the primary purpose, it has helped several authors find publishing contracts. These include Jonathan French, the 2016 winner, and Josiah Bancroft, whose book "Senlin Ascends", despite losing out before the semi-final stage of the same competition, was reviewed so positively that it gained widespread attention in the fantasy community. |
George Allan (1864-1930) was a composer and arranger of music for brass bands who was born, and resided for most of his life, in New Shildon, County Durham, United Kingdom. As a composer he was a contemporary of William Rimmer and J. Ord Hume. |
He was born on March 21, 1864 to parents John James Allan, a Tailor and Draper, and his wife Hannah, at their home in Chapel Street, New Shildon. As a youth he was a choirboy at All Saints Church in Shildon having learned to sing as a child through the Tonic Sol-fa method. His choirmaster suggested that he find out what he could learn by joining a brass band, resulting in his joining the New Shildon Juvenile Brass Band under the tutelage of Edward Dinsdale (Uncle to New Shildon's other notable composer/arranger Thomas Edward Bulch 1862-1930). He initially learned to play baritone horn, before gradually progressing to become a solo tenor horn player. Allan eventually was promoted from the juvenile band into the senior New Shildon Saxhorn Band, under bandmaster Francis Dinsdale (Grandfather of Thomas Bulch). |
When Francis Dinsdale relinquished the post of bandmaster of the New Shildon Saxhorn Band prior to his death in December 1884, George Allan inherited the role. This opportunity arose in part through Thomas Bulch having already become bandmaster of a breakaway New Shildon Temperance Brass Band a few years earlier. |
On reaching working age George Allan initially worked as a labourer, before taking up a post as a Blacksmith's Striker at the North Eastern Railway wagon works at Shildon, where for a short while he worked alongside Thomas Bulch before the latter emigrated to Australia in 1884. He was also a subscribing member of the local Mechanics Institute which had been founded in the town by the railway pioneer Timothy Hackworth. |
Between the mid 1880s and his death in 1930, George Allan composed and/or arranged a considerable repertoire of pieces of music for brass band, with some being also published as military band arrangements that included additional reed instruments. Many of these were published initially by T. A. Haigh's "Amateur Brass Band and Military Journal" based in Hull. Later compositions were published by Fred Richardson's "The Cornet Brass and Military Band Journal". This latter journal, and rights to all the pieces featured therein, were later acquired by music publishers Wright and Round who continue to publish a selection of George Allan compositions as part of their archive catalogue. Allan also self-published compositions, particularly in later life from his home at 2 Pears Terrace, New Shildon up until the end of 1924 and then from 4 Osbourne Terrace, Leeholme from 1925 onwards; these addresses being generally always printed at under the title of the piece on each sheet. |
From 1896, until the year of his death, George Allan also offered his services, and was engaged, as an adjudicator for brass band contests around the North-East of England, and Southern Scotland. In July 1902, Allan changed occupation to that of Wagon Painter, which he maintained until his retirement in Feb 1925 after which he moved from Shildon to nearby Leeholme. |
He was married to Elizabeth Willoughby on 16 August 1887 at St Anne's Church, Bishop Auckland. The couple had 3 children; Beatrice, William Willoughby and Lillie. Elizabeth passed away in August 1911 leaving George a widower. He did not remarry. |
Between 1917 and 1929, George Allan was the conductor of the orchestra for the New Shildon All Saints Amateur Operatic Society. |
Allan died on 16 March 1930, and was interred alongside his wife in the churchyard at All Saints Church in Shildon. A commemorative stone was unveiled opposite Shildon's town square during the 1970s. |
During his lifetime, George Allan wrote at least 70 marches, as well as some concert pieces and pieces of dance music. He is best known today for his contests marches (pieces designed to show every section of a brass band at its best) a number of which continue to be played. These include "Knight Templar", "Senator" and "The Wizard". |

Phospholipase A2 group IVE is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLA2G4E gene. |
This gene encodes a member of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 group IV family. Members of this family are involved in regulation of membrane tubule-mediated transport. The enzyme encoded by this member of the family plays a role in trafficking through the clathrin-independent endocytic pathway. The enzyme regulates the recycling process via formation of tubules that transport internalized clathrin-independent cargo proteins back to the cell surface. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]. |

Wilhelm Stier (born May 8, 1799 in Błonie near Warsaw, died September 19, 1856 in Schöneberg, full name: Friedrich Ludwig Wilhelm Stier) was a German architect and university teacher at the Berlin Bauakademie. |
Wilhelm Stier was born the son of a German warrant officer in the then Prussian province of South Prussia. When this was dissolved in 1807, Wilhelm's family moved to Silesia. From 1812 on Wilhelm lived with relatives in Berlin and attended high school at the Gray Monastery. |
Wilhelm studied at the Bauakademie and passed a first exam in 1817. |
After four years of compulsory further education in the Rhineland, Wilhelm did not sit for the second exam. Instead he set off on foot via France to Italy where he joined a circle of German artists in Rome, became friends with Schnorr von Carolsfeld and accompanied Hittorff in the study of Greek antiquities in southern Italy. He also participated in publications by the Prussian envoy Bunsen on the history of Rome. |
In October 1824 Wilhelm Stier got to know Schinkel on the latter's second trip to Italy. Schinkel felt Stier's artistic talent, wanted to win him over as a teacher for the Bauakademie, and arranged for him a Prussian state scholarship, which enabled Stier to continue his studies of ancient architecture for another two years. |
After five years in Italy, Stier started to teach design and later art history at the Bauakademie around Easter 1828, although he had passed only one very junior exam. After some pressure, he took a simplified second exam and as a result received the title of professor. From 1841 he was a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts. In 1842 he became a member of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin and 1853 in Munich. In 1847 Stier, who was a charismatic teacher, became the center of a circle of student admirers which exists to this day and cultivates Stier's memory. |
Stier created numerous study and teaching designs, inter alia for the Berlin Cathedral. He rejected the imitation of historical styles. He lived since 1837 in the popularly called "Stierburg" house, the only house he actually ever built. |
On January 18, 1851 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Red Eagle Order. |
His grave monument created by Friedrich August Stüler carries the inscription "To the friend, to the teacher - by the architects of Germany". |
Wilhelm Stier was the father of the architect Hubert Stier (1838 - 1907), grandfather to landscape architect Rudolf Stier (1890 - 1966), Director of Parks & Gardens in Kassel, Germany and Vienna, Austria, and great grandfather of architect and urban planner Hubert Hoffmann (1904 - 1999), professor at the Technical University of Graz in Austria. |
Cousin to Professor of architecture Gustav Stier. |

Alice Moderno (11 August 1867 – 20 February 1946) was a Portuguese writer, feminist and animal rights activist. An active campaigner for women's rights, she also founded the first association dedicated to animal welfare in the Azores. Early biographies ignored that she was an open lesbian. |
Alice Augusta Pereira de Melo Maulaz Moniz Moderno was born in Paris on 11 August 1867 to Celina Pereira de Melo Maulaz and João Rodrigues Pereira Moderno. Her father was a physician trained at the University of Paris, while her mother, a polyglot and pianist was trained at the Paris Conservatory. Both of her parents were born in Rio de Janeiro to Brazilian mothers, but her paternal grandfather was from Madeira and her maternal grandfather was French. In 1867, the couple moved briefly to Terceira Island, but returned to Paris after a year. When she was seven years old, her father moved out of the family home, because of an affair with a clerk from a fashion house. When her grandfather died a year later, the father returned and moved Moderno and her mother back to the Azores, where they lived in Angra do Heroísmo. While they lived there, her siblings Luís (born 1877), Vitor (born 1881), and Maria do Carmo (born 1882) joined the family. |
In 1883, the family moved to Ponta Delgada on São Miguel Island. Missing her friends and family in France, Moderno spent hours in her room writing poetry, an activity her father scorned. Her first published work, "Morreu!" (Died!), written as a memorial to the Viscountess da Praia da Vitória, was published in the newspaper "Açoriano Oriental" in that same year. Two years later, in 1885, she produced "A ti" (To You) in the "Almanaque Luso-Brasileiro de Lembranças" (Portuguese-Brazilian Almanac of Souvenirs), a major literary vehicle for Brazilian and Portuguese writers until 1932, in which Moderno published frequently until 1889. She was the first woman to enroll in high school in the Azores and attended the Lyceum Antero de Quental attached to the Convent of Grace (). In 1886, she completed the book "Aspirações" (Aspirations), a collection of French and Portuguese verses, which garnered praise from Camilo Castelo Branco. Suffering from migraines, her father recommended cold compresses, but headstrong Moderno, caused a scandal by cutting off her hair. She was still in high school, when her father moved his practice to Achada in the Nordeste Municipality in 1887. The following year, she published "Trilos" and moved out of her father's house, determined to earn her own living by teaching French and Portuguese. |
In November 1888, Moderno founded the magazine "Recreio das Salas" (Recreation of the Salon) which published works from Portuguese literary figures. She continued to publish her own works in the "Almanaque", such as the poems, "Dois sóis" (Two suns) and "Adeus!" (Goodbye!). In 1889, she began to work as a journalist for the "Diário de Anúncios" (Advertising Diary), and serialized her first novel, "Dr. Luís Sandoval" within its pages. By 1892, she was directing the "Diário" and editing the novel to be published as a book. That same year, she began a courtship by correspondence with the intellectual, Joaquim de Araújo, but made it very clear to him that she was not an adherent to the Victorian values of women's domesticity. She explained that she taught 20 students and when she was not teaching, she was writing and was completely uninterested in sewing or domestic activity, having hired someone to do those tasks. The relationship flourished through romantic letters, but when de Araújo came in 1893 to Ponta Delgada and the couple met for the first time, they realized that the relationship would never progress. Moderno published "Os mártires do amor" (The Martyrs of Love) in 1894, dedicating it to de Araújo and then broke off their relationship. |
Around this time, in 1893 Moderno's father moved to the United States, leaving debts behind. Her literary output declined as she had to work to pay off his obligations and she moved into the home of a friend, Maria Emília Borges de Medeiros. In 1901, she produced "Açores, pessoas e coisas" (Azores, people and things) and the following year founded the journal "A Folha" (The Leaf), which she published among other items from the business "Tipografia A. Moderno". In 1904, returned to the "Almanaque", publishing the sonnet "Camões" to the memory of the poet, Luís de Camões. Moderno and Borges opened their home in 1906 to Maria Evelina de Sousa, a fellow teacher and writer. Sousa and Moderno lived openly as lesbians, though after their deaths, biographers focused on Moderno's heterosexual long-distance relationship with de Araújo. |
In addition to her writing, Moderno ran a variety of businesses. In 1907, she purchased a bookstore and sold international volumes. Two years later, she purchased a pineapple farm in Fajã de Baixo, where she grew produce to export to the United States. She also served as an insurance agent for several national and international commercial enterprises. In 1908, Moderno and Sousa created the first animal welfare organization in the Azores, establishing the Micaelense Society for the Protection of Animals (). She favored the establishment of the Portuguese Republic and supported the coup d'état which replaced the monarchy. In the constitutional discussions that followed, she contributed numerous articles in favor of divorce to protect women, advocated for women's education and pressed for women's rights. She joined the Republican League of Portuguese Women and participated in many activities of the association. In August 1912, while on a visit in Lisbon, de Sousa and Moderno were honored by the Republican League for their efforts in being the primary agitators for women's rights and education in the Azores |
Moderno edited the journal "Revista Pedagógica" (Pedagogical Magazine) founded by Sousa and Sousa worked on the editorial staff of Folha. Throughout the 1940s, the couple were often seen walking their dog around Ponta Delgada, with Moderno dressed in men's attire using a walking stick and smoking a cigar. |
Eight days after the death of her partner of forty years, Alice Moderno died on 20 February 1946. She was buried in the Cemetery of São Joaquim in Ponta Delgada in a crypt with Sousa. After their deaths, biographers attempted to hide their lesbian lives. In 2015, an exhibit honoring Moderno which ran for six months was hosted by the Public Library and Regional Archive of Ponta Delgada. |

Tom Sharp (May 30, 1838 – November 26, 1929), a former Confederate soldier and explorer, operated a trading post on the Taos Trail and founded the now extinct town of Malachite, Colorado. It was located on the Huerfano River in Huerfano County, Colorado. He became a nationally known horse and cattle breeder. |
William Thomas Sharp was born in Hannibal in Marion County, Missouri on May 30, 1838. Sharp was a Confederate soldier during the American Civil War, serving under Major General Sterling Price. Early in the war, he received numerous wounds and was paroled from the army. He was then put in a wagon for the far west. |
Beginning with a trip Pikes Peak in 1859, and sandwiched around his service during the Civil War, Sharp traveled across the American West and British Columbia until 1868. He was a prospector and railroad worker. He also supplied meat to mining camps in California and Oregon with an Anglo-Native American named "Old Tex". By 1867, he was in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he supplied telegraph poles to the Union Pacific Railroad and was a deputy sheriff. |
Sharp arrived in the Huerfano Valley in the fall of 1868 with John Williams and John White, and was persuaded to stay by Captain Charles Deus. He first had a small cabin where he initially lived with his wife. Sharp built a log and adobe trading post called Buzzard's Roost Ranch in the Upper Huerfano Valley (on present-day County Road 570) in 1870 and later took up residence in the trading post. He purchased furniture in Missouri for his residence. The trading post got its name for the hundreds of buzzards that would roost in the stream-side cottonwood trees by the post. |
It was located very near the ancient trail over Mosca Pass and east to Badito, Colorado and Greenhorn Mountain, all within the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range. Apache, Comanche, and Utes had used the areas trails that then began to be used by French trappers. It was a route that continued to be used by Utes for travel to and from hunting grounds and by raiding parties in the 19th century. Sharp traded with the Utes, who liked the "flashy" military uniforms that he imported from Union Army and English warehouses. Chief Ouray and his wife Chipeta were regular visitors, who had their winter camped near the post and along Huerfano River and had close relationships with family members. European settlers also used the Trapper's Trail to travel through Sangre de Cristo Pass to the San Luis Valley and Taos, New Mexico. Sharp sold goods brought to the post via wagon train. He hosted horse races for Native Americans and settlers. |
After flakes of gold were found in Pass Creek, Sharp established the town of Malachite (at County Roads 550 and 570), expecting a gold rush to the area. It was built in 1870 on his land, one mile from the post, and had several wood and adobe houses. Although the gold rush did not occur, the gold flakes were in sufficient quantity to support a stamp mill, which, along with a flour mill, was operated by Deus. The settlement was a thriving community for a time. It had a post office from 1880 to 1915 and was on an 85-mile post road between Walsenburg and Alamosa. Malachite was abandoned after business became centered in nearby Gardner, Colorado. |
The Utes were removed to reservations (Southern Ute Indian Reservation and Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation) by 1876, which changed the nature of his business. He began to imported purebred horses from France, England, and Kentucky to cross-breed with "rugged" ponies that had been owned by Native Americans. He received national attention for his bred horses and cattle. His white-faced Hereford cattle were branded with the Lazy S Bar and Reverse S Bar brands. Sharp was active in the Cuerno Verde Livestock Association, including being its president for a time. He was also active with the Colorado State Fair as superintendent of the horse department and promoting the fair. |
His wife, Katherine Durrette was born in Marion County, Missouri in 1844. They were married in Missouri in 1871 and had three children, William, Emma, and Elizabeth. He received the Third Degree in Masonry at the Huerfano Lodge in Walsenburg. Sharp died on November 26, 1929. |
