Biography
Flati is born in L'Aquila, in the region of Abruzzo in central Italy. His artistic production began in 1964.

Since 1972 he has been doing artistic and biomedical research in several European Countries (University of L'Aquila, University of Rome "La Sapienza" Rome (Italy), University of Lund (Sweden), Karolinska–Sjukhuset / Karolinska Institutet – Stockholm (Sweden), University of Bergen (Norway), University of Ulm – Marienhospital – Stuttgart (Germany), Gdańsk (Poland), Fords, New Jersey (US). Currently he is active as a painter and writer in L'Aquila, Rome, New Jersey (US).

He has performed exhibitions in several European countries, in cultural institutions, in museums and private art galleries. Private and public collections of his works exist in Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Spain, Australia and US.

He has been working, until 2009, in the field of Microsurgery and General Surgery. Flati has been docent in Scientific Methodology in the University of Rome "La Sapienza". He is author and coauthor of several surgical books and scientific articles, published worldwide in the fields of microsurgery, male infertility, hepato- pancreatic, gastrointestinal and endocrine surgery.

In 2009, after an earthquake struck and destroyed his hometown of L'Aquila, Flati founded the Cultural Association "Cantiere Aquilano di Cultura Creativa ai Margini della Coscienza", which is now active as a "Think tank" group dedicated to creative consciousness, with a particular attention to the aesthetic implications of the holographic paradigm proposed by Itzhak Bentov, David Bohm and Karl H. Pribram.

In 2017, within the artistic movement of “heavenly aesthetics” theorized by Daniele Radini Tedeschi he has been invited at the Triennial Exhibition of Visual Arts in Rome, Complex of Vittoriano, Ala Brasini.
In 2017 he has been invited to participate as a member of “El Circulo Magico” at the National Pavilion of Guatemala - 57.International Art Exhibition - Venice Biennale. On the occasion of the Theme “The Edge” of Guatemala Pavilion Flati has published the book “On the edge of creative mind” (Preface of Daniele Radini Tedeschi) describing the concepts and theoretical foundations of the works exposed: “I the tree of the Edges” and "From the silence of leaves”.

In 2020 he founded a new artistic movement, theorising its foundations in the manifesto "The Tree of the Mabits. Manifesto for a new Artistic and Human Renaissance in the Time of Super Intelligent Clouds", published by Aracne Editrice in 2020.

In 2021 he participated in the Triennial Exhibition of Visual Arts in Rome at the Palazzo Borghese - Galleria del Cembalo.

title: Arionellus

text:
Arionellus Barrande, 1850, is a disused name for a genus of trilobite.  The name Arionellus was a replacement for Arionides Barrande, 1847, itself a replacement for Arion Barrande, 1846, which was preoccupied because Férussac had already used it in 1819 for a genus of slugs.

Agraulos had already been proposed as replacement for Arion by Hawle and Corda in 1847, but Barrande unjustly considered it a homonym of Agraulis, a butterfly named by Boisduval in 1836.

The species of Arionellus have now been reassigned to the following genera.
 A. bipunctatus = Croixana bipunctata
 A. ceticephalus = Agraulos ceticephalus
 A. convexus = Camaraspis convexa
 A. cylindricus = Keithiella cylindrica
 A. oweni = Modocia oweni
 A. primaevus = Strenuaeva primaeva
 A. pustulatus = Glaphurus pustulatus
 A. texanus = Tricrepicephalus texanus
 A. tripunctatus = Tricrepicephalus tripunctatus

title: HHVM

text:
HipHop Virtual Machine (HHVM) is an open-source virtual machine based on just-in-time (JIT) compilation that serves as an execution engine for the Hack programming language. By using the principle of JIT compilation, Hack code is first transformed into intermediate HipHop bytecode (HHBC), which is then dynamically translated into x86-64 machine code, optimized, and natively executed.  This contrasts with PHP's usual interpreted execution, in which the Zend Engine transforms PHP source code into opcodes that serve as a form of bytecode, and executes the opcodes directly on the Zend Engine's virtual CPU.

HHVM is developed by Meta, with the project's source code hosted on GitHub; it is licensed under the terms of the PHP License and Zend License.

Overview
HHVM was created as the successor to the HipHop for PHP (HPHPc) PHP execution engine, which is a PHP-to-C++ transpiler also created by Facebook.  Based on the gained experience and aiming to solve issues introduced by HPHPc, Meta decided in early 2010 to create a JIT-based PHP virtual machine.  Issues associated with HPHPc included reaching a plateau for further performance improvements, a fundamental inability to support all features of the PHP language, and difficulties arising from specific time- and resource-consuming development and deployment processes.  In Q1 2013, the production version of the facebook.com website stopped using HPHPc and switched to HHVM.

Following the JIT compilation principle, HHVM first converts the executed code into an intermediate language, the high-level bytecode HHBC.  HHBC is a bytecode format created specifically for HHVM, appropriate for consumption by both interpreters and just-in-time compilers.  Next, HHVM dynamically ("just-in-time") translates the HHBC into x86-64 machine code, optimized through dynamic analysis of the translated bytecode. Finally, it executes the x86-64 machine code.  As a result, HHVM has certain similarities to the virtual machines used by other programming languages, including the Common Language Runtime (CLR, for the C# language) and Java virtual machine (JVM, for the Java language).

HHVM brings many benefits in comparison with HPHPc.  HHVM uses the same execution engine when deployed in both production and development environments, while supporting integration between the execution engine and the HPHPd debugger in both environment types; as a result, maintaining HPHPi (HipHop interpreter) separately as a development utility is no longer needed as it was the case with HPHPc.  HHVM also eliminates the lengthy builds required by HPHPc to run programs, resulting in much simpler development and deployment processes than it was the case with HPHPc.  Finally, versions of HHVM before 4.0 have almost complete support for the entire PHP language (as defined by the official implementation of PHP version 5.4), including the support for the create_function() and eval() constructs, which was impossible with HPHPc.

Together with HHVM 3.0, Meta also released Hack, a derivative of PHP that allows programmers to use both dynamic typing and static typing (a concept also known as gradual typing), and allows types to be specified for function arguments, function return values, and class properties.  However, Hack does not provide complete backward compatibility since it removes several PHP features, such as the goto statement and dynamic variable names.

In September 2017, it was announced that version 3.30 would be the last version of HHVM to officially support PHP, and that HHVM will only support Hack going forward.  This was due to differences and incompatibilities in PHP 7. HHVM 4.0, released in February 2019, was the first version without support for PHP.

Performance
As a process virtual machine that provides the execution environment, HHVM has the ability to use live type information to produce more efficient native code, leading to a higher web server throughput and lower latency.  In Q4 2012, the execution of facebook.com's source code on HHVM achieved performance parity with HPHPc, and in December 2013 HPHPc was even surpassed by around 15%.

title: QubicaAMF Worldwide

text:
QubicaAMF Worldwide is a bowling equipment provider. The company has U.S. headquarters in Richmond, Virginia and European headquarters in Bologna, Italy.

The company's mascot is an animated anthropomorphic bowling pin character named Qupee.

History

Qubica S.p.A. was founded in Italy in 1993 by Roberto Vaioli, Luca Drusiani, and Emanuele Govoni to "bring amusement innovations to bowlers and center proprietors worldwide."

In 2003 Qubica acquired the Mendes company, a maker of pinsetters, ball returns, and automated scoring systems.

QubicaAMF Worldwide was formed in July 2005 when AMF Bowling Worldwide contributed the assets of its Bowling Products Division and Qubica Lux S.à r.l. (successor owner of Qubica) contributed Qubica S.p.A. to a new joint venture of which each company retained 50% interest.

In March 2012 the joint venture entered into a non-binding offer with Bowltech International B.V. for the possible acquisition of the joint venture.

On July 1, 2013, AMF Bowling Worldwide was reorganized out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy and combined with Strike Holdings LLC (doing business as Bowlmor Lanes) to form Bowlmor AMF (now known as Bowlero Corporation). On July 31, 2013, QubicaAMF Worldwide announced that it was no longer for sale, stating that, “Under the circumstances a year ago, a transaction with Bowltech presented a great opportunity for QubicaAMF. However, with the full support of our new ownership team a transaction is no longer needed.”

In September 2013 the Qubica founders, as well as legacy partners Guido Sorba, Pat Ciniello, Frank Mascadri and Rich Albright, bought the remaining shares from the European private equity fund that co-owned Qubica, giving them 50% ownership of QubicaAMF. In December 2014 the Qubica founders and partners acquired the 50% owned by Bowlmor AMF (Bowlero), giving them 100% ownership of QubicaAMF.

In November 2016 QubicaAMF acquired CDE Software, a major developer and marketer of software to track leagues and tournaments.

title: Fujiwara no Nagate

text:
was a Japanese court noble and statesman of the Nara period. He was the second son of the founder of the Hokke House of the Fujiwara clan, the sangi Fujiwara no Fusasaki. He achieved the court rank of Senior First Rank and the position of Minister of the Left, and posthumously of Chancellor of the Realm. He was also known as .

Life

With the early death of his older brother Fujiwara no Torikai, Nagate became the effective leader of the Hokke. In 737, he was promoted from  to , but the emperor of the time, Shōmu, favored Nagate's younger brother Yatsuka. Nagate was not promoted again until 749, immediately before the emperor's abdication, when he gained the rank of .

He was more highly valued in the court of the new ruler Empress Kōken, where he was promoted to  in 750 and again in 754 to , marking him among the ranks of the kugyō. Immediately after the death of ex-emperor Shōmu in 756, Nagate was promoted directly to chūnagon, skipping sangi entirely.

On the other hand, he remained in conflict with his powerful relative Fujiwara no Nakamaro. After the disinheritance of Crown Prince Funado in 757, he joined with Fujiwara no Toyonari in supporting Prince Shioyaki as Empress Kōken's new heir, but Nakamaro's favored candidate Prince Ōi, the future Emperor Junnin, won out. In 758, Nagate was the only member of a committee to sit out a daijō-kan meeting called by Nakamaro. After 757, Nakamaro controlled the court, and this bad relationship left Nagate in an uncomfortable political position, despite his status as the third most powerful man in the Daijō-kan after Ishikawa no Toshitari and Fun'ya no Kiyomi.

In 764, Fujiwara no Nakamaro rebelled, and Nagate supported the side of Empress Kōken and Dōkyō. He was promoted to  and dainagon and conferred honors, second-class. After Dōkyō established his power, and after Toyonari's death in 765, Nagate held his position as the most powerful kugyō in the daijō-kan until his death. In 766 he was promoted to udaijin and then sadaijin, and obtained the rank of .

Empress Kōken died in 770, and in the ensuing dispute over the heir, Nagate supported Prince Shirakabe, the future Emperor Kōnin. He was rewarded for his efforts with a promotion to  by the new sovereign.

Nagate died of sickness on March 11, 771, at the age of 58. He was posthumously granted the position of Daijō-daijin on the same day.

title: French cruiser Guichen (1897)

text:
Guichen was a large protected cruiser built in the 1890s for the French Navy, the only member of her class. She was intended to serve as a long-range commerce raider, designed according to the theories of the , which favored a strategy of attacking Britain's extensive merchant shipping network instead of engaging in an expensive naval arms race with the Royal Navy. As such, Guichen was built with a relatively light armament of just eight medium-caliber guns, but was given a long cruising range and the appearance of a large passenger liner, which would help her to evade detection while raiding merchant shipping.

The predicted Anglo-French war that spurred Guichens design never came, and so her early career passed uneventfully. She initially served with the Mediterranean Squadron during her lengthy sea trials, followed by a stint in the Northern Squadron. She was sent to the Far East in response to the Boxer Uprising in Qing China by early 1901, returning to France the following year. Another deployment to East Asian waters came in 1905 and ended in 1907 with her return to France. She had been reduced to reserve by 1911 and saw little further activity in the following three years.

At the start of World War I in July 1914, the ship was mobilized into the 2nd Light Squadron and tasked with patrolling the western end of the English Channel. Guichen was transferred to the Mediterranean Sea in May 1915, serving initially with the main French fleet that blockaded the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Adriatic Sea. Later in the year, she was reassigned to the Syrian Division that patrolled the coast of Ottoman Syria, where she helped to evacuate some 4,000 Armenian civilians fleeing the Armenian genocide. By 1917, she had been reduced to a fast transport operating between Italy and Greece. After the war, she continued transport duties, but after her crew mutinied in 1919, she was recalled to France, where she was eventually struck from the naval register in 1921 and broken up.

Background and design

In the mid-1880s, elements in the French naval command argued over future warship construction; the  advocated building long-range and fast protected cruisers for use as commerce raiders on foreign stations while a traditionalist faction preferred larger armored cruisers and small fleet scouts, both of which were to operate as part of the main fleet in home waters. The latter course required a direct challenge to the larger British Royal Navy, and the proponents of the  hoped to avoid the significant expense of an arms race by attacking Britain indirectly, by way of attacks on her merchant shipping. By the end of the decade and into the early 1890s, the traditionalists were ascendant, leading to the construction of several armored cruisers of the , though the supporters of the  secured approval for one large cruiser built according to their ideas, which became .

These debates took place in the context of shifting geopolitical alliances and rivalries. The early 1890s was marked by serious strategic confusion in France; despite the Franco-Russian Alliance of 1891, which should have produced friction between the two countries and their imperial rival Britain, the French Navy was still oriented against the German-led Triple Alliance. This outlook was cemented in the naval program of 1894, but even the Navy's strategic planning remained muddled. The program authorized the large protected cruisers Guichen and , both of which were intended as long-distance commerce raiders. These vessels were ideally suited to attack the extensive merchant shipping network of Britain, not the continental powers of Germany or Austria-Hungary.

In the early 1890s, the United States Navy built two very large and fast cruisers intended to raid merchant shipping in the Atlantic, the . These ships greatly impressed many senior officers in the French Navy, including the French Naval Minister, Félix Faure, who issued requests for design proposals in late 1894. the chief characteristics were very high speed and great cruising range on a displacement of around . Because the vessel was not intended to engage enemy cruisers, armament and armor could be kept light for a ship of this size. The  (Council of Works) issued its more detailed list of specifications to shipyards on 18 December 1894 to solicit design proposals.

Three shipyards submitted designs by early 1895, and on 15 January, the  evaluated the submissions; they selected two, one from  (which became Guichen) and one from  (which became Châteaurenault). The design for Guichen had been prepared by Marie de Bussy, who based the hull form on his earlier designs,  and , both of which had met their design speeds. He had originally intended for Guichen to have an inverted bow like Dupuy de Lôme, but the  requested a straight bow instead.

Both ships were intended to resemble passenger liners, which would help them evade discovery while conducting commerce raiding operations. The French cruisers suffered from several defects, however, including insufficient speed to catch the fast transports that would be used to carry critical materiel in wartime and their vast expense militated against their use to attack low-value shipping. Additionally, their weak armament precluded their use against enemy cruisers.

Characteristics

Guichen was  long both at the waterline and overall, with a beam of  and an average draft of . She displaced . Her hull featured a straight stem and a pronounced tumblehome shape, as was typical for French warships of the period. She had a spar deck that extended for most of the length of the vessel. Guichens superstructure consisted of a main conning tower forward with a small bridge structure atop it and a smaller secondary conning tower aft. She was fitted with three light pole masts for signaling purposes, though the center mast, serving as a support to Temperley coaling booms, was damaged in an accident in 1906 and was cut down an converted into a ventilation shaft. She was equipped with six searchlights. Her crew ranged from 594 to 604 officers and enlisted men.

The ship's propulsion system consisted of three vertical triple-expansion steam engines driving three screw propellers; she was the first French protected cruiser to adopt a three-shaft arrangement. Steam was provided by thirty-six mixed oil- and coal-burning, Lagrafel d'Allest water-tube boilers. These were divided into two widely-spaced groups and both groups were ducted into a pair of funnels. It was further development of an arrangement first used in , and symmetrical silhouette became a trademark of most following French large cruisers. Her machinery was rated to produce  for a top speed of , and she reached  for  during her initial speed tests. Coal storage amounted to , which provided her a cruising radius of  at a speed of .

Despite her large size, Guichen carried a relatively light armament, since she was intended to engage unarmed merchant vessels, not other cruisers. Her main battery consisted of two  M1893 45-caliber (cal.) quick-firing (QF) gun in single pivot mounts, fore and aft on the centerline, which fired a variety of shells, including solid cast iron projectiles, and explosive armor-piercing (AP) and semi-armor-piercing (SAP) shells. The muzzle velocity ranged from . These guns were supported by a secondary battery of six  M1893 45-cal. QF guns carried in sponsons, three guns per broadside. They were also supplied with cast iron, AP, and SAP projectiles, firing with a muzzle velocity of . For close-range defense against torpedo boats, she was armed with a battery of ten  3-pounder Hotchkiss guns and five  1-pounder guns. The ship was also armed with a pair of  torpedo tubes in her hull above the waterline. The torpedoes were the M1892 variant, which carried a  warhead and had a range of  at a speed of .

Armor protection consisted of Harvey steel. Guichen had a curved armor deck that was  thick on the flat portion, which was about  above the waterline. Toward the sides of the hull, it sloped downward to provide a measure of vertical protection, terminating at the side of the hull about  below the waterline. The sloped portion increased in thickness to , though toward the bow and stern, it was reduced to . An anti-splinter deck was above the flat portion of the main deck with a cofferdam connecting it to the main deck. The forward conning tower was protected by  on the sides; an armored supporting tube protected by  of armor connected it to the interior of the ship. The ship's main guns were each fitted with gun shields that were 55 mm thick.

Service history

Guichen was built at the  shipyard in Saint-Nazaire; the order was placed on 9 October 1895 and her keel was laid down there in late May 1896. The ship was launched on 26 October 1897, and she was commissioned for sea trials on 10 October 1898. On 4 December, she left Saint-Nazaire for Toulon, where she was to conduct her trials; she arrived there five days later, and began her evaluations in January 1899. Troubles during her sea trials necessitated alterations to the ship, which delayed her joining the fleet. After tests in June 1899 where she failed to meet her design speed, the decision was made to replace her screws, along with other corrections. She completed full-power trials in November, where she made a top speed of . Though she was still not in full commission in 1899, Guichen was assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron, France's primary battle fleet. At that time, the unit consisted of six pre-dreadnought battleships, three armored cruisers, seven other protected cruisers, and several smaller vessels. Further evaluations were carried out through early 1900, including a test on 10 February to determine the speed developed using only the outboard propellers. Finally, on 9 March, she was placed in full commission.

On 17 April, Guichen was transferred to the Northern Squadron, based in the English Channel, though she remained there only briefly. On 23 June, she was ordered to East Asia in response to the Boxer Uprising in Qing China. By early 1901, eight other cruisers were assigned to the station. Fighting continued in Zhili province into February. With the fighting in China having been suppressed by late in the year, Guichen returned to France, arriving on 17 October, having traveled in company with the armored cruiser .  In 1902, Guichen took part in a visit of President Émile Loubet in Petersburg in Russia (along with Montcalm and smaller ships), and in 1903 she carried President Loubet to Dover. She returned to service with the Northern Squadron in 1903, which was kept in commission for six months of the year. She remained in the unit in 1904, but later that year, she was decommissioned so her crew could be used to commission the new armored cruiser .

The ship returned to service for another tour in East Asia in 1905; during this period, her crew observed the Russian Second Pacific Squadron pass through Cam Ranh Bay in French Indochina in May on its way to the Battle of Tsushima of the Russo-Japanese War. By 1906, Guichen had become the flagship of the Naval Division of the Far East and Western Pacific. She lost her center mast, broken on 25 June, during coaling in Chefoo. She served as the flagship until 15 August, when D'Entrecasteaux arrived to relieve her. Guichen returned to France later that year. By 1911, Guichen had been assigned to the Reserve Division of the Northern Squadron, along with the armored cruisers , , , , and . The unit was based in Brest. Guichen served as a training ship for sail makers and carpenters at Brest in 1912 and 1913.

World War I

After the start of World War I in August 1914, Guichen was assigned to the 2nd Light Squadron, which at that time consisted of the armored cruisers , Amiral Aube, Jeanne d'Arc, ,Gueydon, and Dupetit-Thouars. The unit was based in Brest, and was strengthened by the addition of several other cruisers over the following days, including the armored cruisers Kléber and , the protected cruisers Châteaurenault, , , and , and several auxiliary cruisers. The ships then conducted a series of patrols in the English Channel in conjunction with a force of four British cruisers.

The French began withdrawing cruisers from the Channel over the following year, particularly after the British erected the Dover Barrage, a barrier of naval mines and nets patrolled by destroyers. Guichen was among the vessels transferred to the Mediterranean in May 1915. She initially joined the main fleet, based at Malta; toward the end of the month, Italy entered the war on the side of France and the Triple Entente. The Italian fleet took over responsibility for blockading the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Aegean Sea and the French fleet was then charged with patrolling the area between Malta and Bizerte in French Tunisia. Guichen and the armored cruiser Amiral Charner were sent to join the 1st Light Division to patrol the area between Sardinia and Capo Colonna; the unit at that time consisted of the armored cruisers , , and . In late July, the ships were transferred to Algiers in French Algeria.

She was then transferred to the 3rd Squadron in the eastern Mediterranean and took part in a blockade of the Syrian coast, then part of the Ottoman Empire. During these patrols, she cruised with Desaix and the seaplane carrier  on the northernmost section of the blockade in the vicinity of Latakia. The ships had little success, as most Ottoman shipping in the region consisted of small sailing vessels. The squadron's base at Port Said on the Suez Canal was deemed to be too far for Guichen, Desaix, and Foudre, so the French occupied the small island of Arwad to secure a closer anchorage. On 12 and 13 September, Guichen participated in the evacuation of some 4,000 Armenians from the city of Antioch, along with Amiral Charner, Desaix, D'Estrées, Foudre, and the British seaplane carrier . Guichen under Commander Jean-Joseph Brisson was the first vessel to observe distress signals that had been sent by the Armenians, who had been pursued by Ottoman forces during the Armenian genocide and besieged on Musa Dagh mountain. The French and British ships transported the evacuees to Port Said. Guichen herself transported almost half the overall number: 1,941 or 1,952 refugees.

In late 1915, the 3rd Squadron was reorganized and new ships replaced Guichen. In April 1916, Guichen and Desaix were sent to Dakar in French Senegal to replace the 3rd Light Division. Guichen remained on the station only briefly, as a reorganization of the fleet's cruisers saw her replaced by the armored cruisers  and Kléber by July. In August, Guichen was outfitted at Brest for use as a troop transport, the primary alterations being the installation of additional cooking spaces and the fitting of more lifeboats. The following month, she began carrying troops around the Mediterranean, including Russian and Serbian soldiers to Salonika, Greece. She also brought troops to Itea and Corfu in Greece, among other locations. These duties continued through the end of the war.

Postwar
Following the war, she continued her troop transport duties, but by 1919, the conditions aboard the ship had become serious. In June, Guichen had withdrawn to the Gulf of Patras in western Greece, where her crew mutinied over the seemingly endless monotony and the poor conditions aboard the ship; Charles Tillon, who later led the Communist Party of France, played a significant role in the mutiny. Unrest also broke out among numerous French vessels, including in home ports, the North Sea, and elsewhere, owing to war weariness, a desire to return home, dissatisfaction with inequality aboard the ships, and anger with the fleet's anti-communist operations. The French authorities resorted to sending a battalion of Senegalese Tirailleurs to board Guichen and restore order. The ship thereafter returned to Brest, where she was laid up for boiler repairs, but by November 1920, she had been allocated to the reserve fleet in Landévennec. Guichen was decommissioned in March 1921 and condemned for disposal on 12 November. She was struck from the naval register on the 29th before being sold on 11 March 1922 at Brest.

title: Werner Keller (writer)

text:
Werner Keller (13 August 1909 in Gut Nutha, Anhalt – 29 February 1980 in Ascona) was a German civil servant, journalist, nonfiction author and anti-Nazi resistance fighter.

He studied engineering and medicine, and then jurisprudence, in Berlin, Rostock, Zürich and Jena. In 1933 he became a Doctor of Jurisprudence.

While working as a senior staff member in Albert Speer's Ministry of Armaments, he saved the lives of many Jews. In 1945 Keller organized an anti-Nazi resistance group in Berlin which briefly ran a pirate radio station and which planned a rather foolhardy attempt on Hitler's life.

He was caught and sentenced by the Nazi Volksgerichtshof  ("People's Court") to death by hanging. In February 1945 high-ranking friends managed, possibly by a bribe, to get his execution put off at the last moment and get him transferred to Fort Zinna, the Wehrmacht prison in Torgau. There, Keller was liberated by American troops of the 69th Infantry Division at the end of April 1945.

After the Second World War, Keller worked as a journalist and a science writer in Hamburg. He has worked for Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (The North West German Broadcasting Corporation) and for such papers and magazines as Die Welt, Die Zeit, Stern,  and Neue Illustrierte. He sometimes used the pseudonym "Norman Alken".

In 1955 he published The Bible as History, his best-known and most successful book, which correlated the text of the Bible with the results of archaeological diggings in the Middle East, providing, according to Keller, a confirmation for the Bible's veracity which was not dependent on religious faith. It had a circulation of over one million in Germany and has been translated into more than 20 languages, and in 1957 gained him the Italian Literary Prize Premio Bancarella. Among others, it was successfully translated into Hebrew at a time when cultural relations with Germany were far from taken for granted in Israel; the Davar Labour daily in Tel Aviv in 1958 distributed free copies of Keller's book to its subscribers.

Among his other works, the socio-historical book East Minus West Equals Zero, in which the author asserts that all political, scientific and cultural achievements of Russians from medieval times to the onset of the Space Race had their origin in the West, from where they were imported and copied, gained the attention of the Western public. Notion rather contradicted by Ibn-Roshd (Averroes).

Later books by Keller dealt with the history and culture of the Etruscans.

title: Anyer Antonio Blanco

text:
Anyer Antonio Blanco is a Cuban dissident, whose anti-regime activities are based in his hometown of Santiago, where he was born July 28, 1987. He has served six years as a self-described political prisoner in Cuban jails until his release in 2012.  Blanco is one of the few users of Twitter in Cuba. Havana-based fellow dissident Yoani Sánchez's Twitter account has been "certified" and who constantly tweets and uploads videos from within Cuba against the regime, activity which has been recognized outside Cuba.

Born in 1987 in Santiago, he was sentenced to six years in jail after an illegal attempt to leave the country. While in prison, he survived two self-imposed hunger strikes. Dissident groups demonstrated near his prison while he was on hunger strike. Karen Caballero, of TV Martí, describes him as one of the highest profile Cuban dissidents at this time. Pro-Cuban regime bloggers single him out and criticize his activities and he has been described by one as "the most promising young man in the internal counterrevolutionary movement" in Cuba. These bloggers follow and describe in detail Anyer Antonio Blanco's extensive travels throughout the world.

In June 2013, Blanco, National Youth Coordinator for the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU), met with former Polish President Lech Walesa in Warsaw and in October of that year was invited by the Vaclav Havel Institute to speak about democracy-building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  In October 2014, Blanco participated in the Rising Star Program sponsored by International Republican Institute held in Prague, Czech Republic. He also represented UNPACU at the World Movement for Democracy 8th Assembly held in Seoul, Korea in 2015, and represented UNPACU at the Organization of American States (OAS) meeting held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in June, 2016.  He has also traveled several times to the United States, including the nation's capital, the Miami, Florida area and San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he now spends several months of the year studying as a senior at Sacred Heart University, when not residing in Santiago de Cuba.  During his travels, he has met with several prominent figures, including Walesa, U.S. representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Díaz-Balart, Pedro Pierluisi and Joe García, Obama administration official Ben Rhodes, former representative Lincoln Díaz-Balart, former Puerto Rico Secretaries of State David Bernier and Kenneth McClintock.

During the civil unrest in several Venezuelan cities in February 2014, pro-Castro bloggers identified Yoani Sánchez, former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe, UNPACU leader Jose Daniel Ferrer and Anyer Blanco as being allies of Venezuelan dissidents. Mr. Blanco adopted a moderate response to the first steps to reestablish diplomatic relations with Cuba announced by U.S. President Barack Obama on December 17, 2014, in keeping with UNPACU's policy.

title: Discourse on the Tides

text:
"Discourse on the Tides" () is an essay written by Galileo Galilei in 1616 as a letter to Alessandro Orsini that attempted to explain the motion of Earth's tides as a consequence of Earth's rotation and revolution around the Sun. The same ideas form an important part of Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. Galileo's theory was in fact erroneous, as proven by future scientific research and contemporary observations.

Background

Galileo composed "Discourse on the Tides" while in Rome and appealing for papal acceptance of the teaching of Copernican theory. The letter is thus not just an explanation of tidal phenomenon but also a private confirmation and defense of Galileo's ideas on heliocentrism, which are discussed completely in his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. Galileo's ideas for tidal theory may have begun during 1595. While aboard a ferry carrying freshwater to Venice, Galileo noticed that the ship's cargo would undulate in accordance with the rocking of the ship.

Galileo wished to present a convincing argument for heliocentrism. He was aware that all the astronomical arguments in the Dialogue were also consistent with the Tychonic system. Hence, his desire to present his theory of the tides which, he believed, provided clear evidence for the motion of the Earth.

Summary

The letter compares the ocean's waves to the disturbances in a vase of water, which move for three reasons: the slope of the vase, external forces exerted on the vase-water system, and the possible acceleration of the vase itself. Comparably, the ocean's tides are due to Earth's terrain, wind currents, and circular accelerations. In Galileo's understanding, Earth's rotation and simultaneous orbital revolution dictate that half of the Earth's rotational arc is in concordance with the direction of revolution and the other half is opposed to the direction of revolution. He reasoned that by sometimes matching and sometimes counteracting the motion of orbit, positive and negative acceleration is generated that influences bodies of water to rock back and forth, creating the tides. Though these opposing acceleration cannot be observed, large bodies of water containing points of location far away enough to experience significantly different vectors of acceleration would necessarily contour into waves.

Criticism
Galileo's theory of the tides could not account for one of the two daily occurrences of high tide observed along most coastlines. He countered that the totality of Earth's water system contains an extenuating amount of variables, such as Earth's tilt, uneven surface and coastline, oceanic depth, and inclement winds, that can explain the second high tide. Also, Galileo argued that most natural scientists were examining and basing theories on the tides of the Mediterranean Sea, a microcosm compared to the ocean that may be idiosyncratic. Historical writer E. J. Aiton states that the discourse "is among the least successful of [Galileo's] investigations and completely misrepresents the phenomena it is supposed to explain," and served mainly as an impetus for continued research by Galileo's followers. Aiton reveals that Galileo erred in choosing two different frames of reference: the tide is the motion of water relative to the Earth, but annual revolution is the motion of the Earth, and its water, relative to the Sun. Annual revolution results in a force that accelerates the Earth-water system but does not accelerate the water relative to the Earth, in the same way that an observer standing on Earth's surface does not feel the gravitational attraction of the Sun because the observer and Earth are moving together around the Sun.

Retrospect
The discourse does not include gravitational forces in its theory to explain the Earth's orbit and does not consider the relation between the ocean and gravitational forces, like that of the Moon. Occurring invisibly, gravity was far too mystic for Galileo's consideration. Galileo did end the "Discourse on the Tides" with reservations that his theory may be incorrect and the hope that further scientific investigation will confirm his proposal. Still, his 1632 Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems omitted gravitational forces and included a reprisal of his tidal theory in its fourth section.

title: Cello Concerto No. 1 (Penderecki)

text:
Krzysztof Penderecki's Cello Concerto No. 1, also known by its original Italian title Concerto per violoncello ed orchestra, Nr. 1, is a revised version of Penderecki's Concerto per violino grande e orchestra, which was never published nor recorded. It was transcribed for cello in 1973.

Composition and premiere

The concerto, which was commissioned by Bronisław Eichenholz, was initially conceived for a violino grande, an instrument with five strings which combines the ranges of the violin and the viola. It was finished in 1967 and first performed in Östersund on July 1, 1967. Eichenholz played the violino grande on this occasion, and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra played under the baton of Henryk Czyż. However, this version of the concerto was only performed twice and never received much attention. After this performance, it was only performed again once in the Hopkins Center Congregation of the Arts, during the Fourth International Webern Festival, held at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.

Five years afterwards, Penderecki decided to transcribe the concerto, replacing the violino grande with a cello. It was dedicated to Siegfried Palm, who also premiered it on September 7, 1972, in the Edinburgh Festival. This transcribed version of the concerto was published by the Polish Music Publishing House and the Moeck Musikinstrumente + Verlag.

Analysis

The original version of the Concerto consisted of two movements, namely, Quasi purgatorio and Suoni celeste. However, the final version is in one movement only. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to perform. It features a lento introduction with an initial cadenza, which was composed ex professo for some of its performances.

Reception

Despite the fact that the first version was only performed twice, it garnered positive reviews from critics. Shirley Fleming, from High Fidelity, called it a fascinating piece.

Following are some of the most well-known recordings of this piece:

title: Ruth Bré

text:
Elisabeth Bonnes (Bouness), best known under her pen name Ruth Bré (1862 – 7 December 1911 in Herischdorf, today Jelenia Góra), was a German advocate for matrilineality and women's rights, a writer, journalist, playwright and radical critic of patriarchy. Bré was the founder of the Bund für Mutterschutz, an organization that aimed to improve women's standing in law, economics, and society.

Life
Ruth Bré was born out of wedlock. The names of her parents were kept a secret. She had at least one brother. Bré worked as a teacher, engaged in public debates on children's education, and wrote plays that were publicly performed.

The name Ruth Bré was a pseudonym. The word Bré is thought to be the initial letters of the last name Elisabeth-Rothmund-Bonnes, in reverse. Rothmund was the name of her biological mother. She published her earliest writings under the pseudonym Elisabeth Bouness (alternate spelling Bouneß), and her writings on the women's movement under the pseudonym Ruth Bré.

Bré's grave, on the Cavalier-Berg in Herischdorf (today Jelenia Góra), no longer exists.

Advocate for women's and mothers' rights
Following her early retirement she became active in the women's movement in Germany, of which she belonged to the radical wing. From this point on she wrote treatises on the rights of mothers, a novel and articles, and tried her hand as the editor of a newspaper. She impressed her listeners with, among other qualities, her fiery rhetoric.

Ruth Bré devoted her life to improving the situation of single mothers and their children. In her writings she criticized the conditions of motherhood in patriarchal society and urged: "Women, give birth not to others...but to yourselves! […] The woman can exist without the state, but not the state without the woman." Among other causes, Bré fought against the firing of married female civil servants (the so-called Lehrerinnenzölibat, prescribed celibacy for female teachers) and for freely chosen motherhood. In Bré's view, motherhood was not the precondition for a woman's psychological and physical health. Her aim was the reintroduction of matrilineality, and her writings expressed a veneration for the mother, in physical as well as spiritual form.

In Leipzig on 12 November 1904, Bré founded the Bund für Mutterschutz (Society for the Protection of Mothers). Among the signatories of the Bund's founding document were reformer Friedrich Landmann and local official and writer Heinrich Meyer. The Bund für Mutterschutz quickly became successful, finding many prominent supporters. Yet relatively swiftly, following conflicts over the direction of the organization, Bré was defeated by her opponent Helene Stöcker, who usurped her position and pushed the Bund in the direction of sexual reform, reflected in the name Deutscher Bund für Mutterschutz und Sexualreform, adopted in 1908. Bré and her comrades accused Stöcker of having stolen Bré's intellectual property.

Bré founded at least one mothers' colony on the model of matriarchal societies.

title: Bell-Bottom George

text:
Bell-Bottom George is a 1943 black and white British comedy musical film, directed by Marcel Varnel, starring George Formby and Anne Firth. A wartime morale booster, it features the songs, "Swim Little Fish", "It Serves You Right", "If I Had A Girl Like You" and "Bell Bottom George." Future Carry On star Charles Hawtrey appears in a small role.

The film title derives from the Bell bottom trousers which form part of the Royal Navy uniform.

Plot
Anti-British agents plan an attack on a Royal Navy ship.

Jim Bennett is a sailor who has overstayed his shore leave. He explains he was a boxer and if hit in one side he sleeps for 24 hours but if hit on the other he wakes.

Meanwhile, George Blake (Formby) serves drinks to officers in a gentlemen's club. They chastise him for his poor service and say he should join the Navy. George retires to his room in the club where he chats to his goldfish Egbert.

During an air raid George is out with Jim and for various reasons is wearing his uniform. Jim gets knocked out and is trying to "revive" him by hitting him on the other side. The military police spot him and think he is both attacking Jim and that he is absent without leave. From then he is mistaken for the absent Jim. He has borrowed his to go to a Lock-in at a pub. George is spotted by military police who think he is AWOL and escort him back to Naval barracks.

He impresses the sailors there with his song "It Serves You Right - You Shouldn't Have Joined" whilst playing ukulele, and is chosen to play at the "Spick and Span" troop radio concert in London. He meets Pat, a Wren, here, and they start to fall in love. He takes her to a dance and sings "If I Had a Girl Like You" to her.

In the same period, he stumbles on the aforementioned pair of Nazi spies using a taxidermists shop as a front, and foils their plot to blow up a British submarine, "The Firefly". He also impresses and wins the heart of Pat (Anne Firth), the Wren he has fallen for.

When the real Bennett fully recovers in hospital ne panics that he is absent without leave and runs into the two military police who have been harassing the false Bennett. George passes and they give chase. He meets Pat in a car and they think they have escaped, but the group chasing them flag down a police car. They drive to harbour and steal a small launch but the others also steal a boat and the chase continues until George's boat is wrecked.

Sample gag
George is reduced to his underwear by the bad guys and complains he cannot walk around the streets like that as he would be mistaken for Gandhi.

title: Moss Wood

text:
Moss Wood is an Australian winery based at Wilyabrup, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia.  It is widely regarded as one of the best estates in the region.

History
The first vines were planted at Moss Wood by obstetrician Dr Bill Pannell and his wife Sandra.  The Pannells picked, pressed and bottled the early harvests by hand.  Sandra Pannell tended vines and carted cases of wine to the railhead. Bill Pannell pruned and harvested, sometimes by moonlight.

The 1975 vintage was a major success.  Bill Pannell later described the Cabernet Sauvignon 1975 as "a little miracle".

title: Carl S. Herz

text:
Carl Samuel Herz (10 April 1930 – 1 May 1995) was an American-Canadian mathematician, specializing in harmonic analysis. His name is attached to the Herz–Schur multiplier. He held professorships at Cornell University and McGill University, where he was Peter Redpath Professor of Mathematics at the time of his death.

Education and career
Herz received his bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 1950 and continued on as a mathematics graduate student at Princeton University. There he received a Ph.D. under the supervision of Salomon Bochner in 1953 with the dissertation "Bessel Functions of Matrix Argument". According to Tom H. Koornwinder, Herz's dissertation (published in the Annals of Mathematics in May 1955) "was a pioneering paper in the field of special functions in several variables associated with Lie groups and with root systems." Herz returned to Cornell as an instructor, rising in rank to assistant professor in 1955, associate professor in 1958, and full professor in 1963. He remained at Cornell until 1969. During the academic year 1969–1970 he worked at Brandeis University and then in 1970 joined the faculty of McGill University as full professor, where he remained until his death in 1995. During the academic year 1962–1963 Herz was a Sloan Fellow at Université de Paris-Sud at Orsay, where he established close ties with mathematicians there that led to frequent academic visits at Orsay of a month or two each year. In the academic years 1957–1958 and 1976–1977 he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study.

Herz did mathematical research on spectral synthesis, positive-definite functions, Fourier transforms on convex sets, potential theory, Hp, and BMO. According to Nicholas Varopoulos, Herz made contributions "to the theory of symmetric spaces, Lie groups and the heat kernel on these; among other things he succeeded in classifying all faithful representations of Lie groups by contact transformations of a compact manifold."

In 1978 he was elected of a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 1986 he was awarded the Jeffery–Williams Prize by the Canadian Mathematical Society. He was the president of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 1987–1989. The Institut des sciences mathématiques, a consortium of eight Quebec universities of which Herz was Director at the time of his death, established the Carl Herz Prize in his honor.

Personal life
Herz met Judith Scherer, a Professor of English, while teaching at Cornell. They were married in 1960. They had two children, Rachel and Nathaniel. Rachel is a psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, specializing in the psychology of smell. Nathaniel is a trained lawyer working as web developer.

title: Ponticulomyces

text:
Ponticulomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus was described by American mycologist Ron Petersen in 2010. It includes the type species Ponticulomyces kedrovayae, known from Pacific maritime Russia, and the Chinese species P. orientalis, originally described as a member of Oudemansiella in 2000. Both species were reported from Japan in 2012. The generic name, which derives from ponticulus ("to build a bridge"), and myces ("fungus"), suggests a bridge between taxonomic characters common to the genera Oudemansiella and Hymenopellis.

title: Patrick Carey (cinematographer)

text:
Patrick Carey (1916 – 1994) was an Irish–British filmmaker. His mother, May Carey, was an actress. His siblings were sister, Sheila Carey, brother Denis Carey and twin brother, the actor Brian Carey. He was born in London; the family moved to Ireland in 1923 when his father, William Denis Carey, took up a government post in the Department of Finance.

Carey became well known in the genre of short documentary films, with a gift for dramatic visualization of natural scenery: his two best-known films being Yeats Country (1965), exploring the relationship between the vision of poet W.B. Yeats and the landscape of County Sligo, and Oisin (1970) a film which focuses entirely on the imagery created by the natural world, without words or music.
At the 38th Academy Awards, Yeats Country received a nomination for Best Documentary Short; Oisin was nominated in the same category at the 1971 Academy Awards.  In Errigal (1970) a brilliant weave of folklore and narrative featuring Brian Carey and Niall Tóibín, is set against the stunning dominance of the Derryveagh Mountains. Of Errigal,  Carey wrote "The mountains are the characters in the story, the drama is in the battle of the elements. I have tried to convey the feeling of personality in a landscape, supported only by music and natural sounds."

Carey had earlier achieved considerable success with his Journey into Spring (1958) which was set in England, with a commentary by Gloucestershire poet Laurie Lee. The film won the 1958 BAFTA Award for Best Documentary, and received two nominations at the 31st Academy Awards. He went on to work for the National Film Board of Canada; memorable is the lyrical realism of Kay Mander's The Kid from Canada (1958) and the haunting textures of John Feeney's Arctic Outpost: Pangnirtung, N.W.T. (1960). Carey's poetry is evident in the minimalist title of Feeney's wonderful Sky (1963), which was shot in Canada. Perhaps most outstanding was his work on multiple award-winning The Living Stone (1959), also directed by John Feeney.

Carey returned to Britain where he made the magnificent Wild Wings (1965), in the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust Reserve, which won the 1967 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. His last documentary short was Beara (1979), depicting the rich desolation of the barren West Cork peninsula.

Much of the dramatic cinematography in the film Ryan's Daughter (1970), directed by David Lean, is due to Carey's work on the film.  In the early 1970s Patrick Carey returned to live in Canada. He died in 1994.

title: Frances Marshall Eagleson

text:
Frances Marshall Eagleson (17 July 189818 May 1987) was an American education administrator and the first Black woman to graduate from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.

Early life and education
Frances Marshall was born in Elizabeth, Kentucky, on July 17, 1898 and raised in Rushville, Indiana. Her father, Clinton B. Marshall, was a brick mason, and her mother was a homemaker.

Marshall was the only "colored" student in her graduating class at Rushville High School in 1915. She enrolled at Indiana University in the fall of 1915, following the recommendation of her high school principal. At this time, Black students were not allowed to live on campus. Marshall initially lived with the Evans family, who had previously provided housing for Black students matriculating at the university. She was later able to subsidize the cost of her education by living with limestone executive Hiram P. Ridley and his family, where she cooked and cleaned in exchange for room and board. Tuition at the time was a $7.50 per semester contingency fee and a $1.50 per semester library fee for Indiana residents.

As a student, Marshall spent her free time and had social activities on the west side of Bloomington, where much of the city's African American population lived. There, she attended church, took in movies, and attended events help by Kappa Alpha Psi, a historically African American fraternity that had established a Indiana chapter for Black students in 1911. She described the atmosphere on campus as mostly segregated, with no interaction between Black and white students.

Marshall graduated in 1919 with an associate degree in English and a teaching certificate. Upon her graduation, she became the first Black woman to graduate from Indiana University.

Career
Marshall began her career with a brief period teaching in Cincinnati, Ohio, before moving on to teach at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Florida.

After a year of teaching in Florida she began teaching English at what is now North Carolina Central College at Durham, North Carolina, in 1921. The College was previously a private high school for Black students called the National Training School at the time of Marshall's hiring. The College went through multiple names and administrative iterations during Marshall's career, as the Durham State Normal School for Negroes (1923–1925); the North Carolina College for Negroes (1925–1947); and finally, North Carolina Central College at Durham (1947–1969); before taking its current name. She spent most of her career at North Carolina Central College, which is a historically Black college.

During her career, she also went on to earn a graduate degree in educational administration from the University of Chicago and Columbia. Eventually working as a registrar and admissions officer for North Carolina Central University from 1928 to retirement in 1964 (Currently has co-ed dormitory named in her honor - Eagleson Hall). After retirement, Marshall worked as the registrar for two other colleges: Florida Memorial College in St. Augustine, Florida, and Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.

After retiring from her post at Spelman, Eagleson lived with her daughter in Hampton until her death on May 18, 1987.
Eagleson remained active in the Indiana University alumni category, mentoring and housing students,

Personal life and family
She was married to Wilson Vashon Eagleson (1898-1933), another Indiana University graduate who taught chemistry and coached football at North Carolina Central University. The couple had met at Indiana while Eagleson was living in the campus Army barracks. Eagleson was the son of Preston Eagleson (1876–1911) became the first African American intercollegiate athlete at Indiana University, the second Black student to receive a degree, and the first Black student to earn a master's degree from the university.

They were the parents of 2nd Lt. Wilson V. Eagleson II, a fighter pilot who flew with the Tuskegee Airmen's 99th and 32nd Pursuit Squadron during the Second World War. Their daughter is Rosalind M. Exum, who became an associate professor of mathematics at Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia.

Legacy
She has been honored by Indiana University beside Marcellus Neal for their scholastic and social achievements. The Neal-Marshall Alumni Club was founded in 1981 as a means of meeting the needs of Black students, faculty, and staff, while also promoting African-American history at Indiana University. The organization was actually founded in Jackson, Mississippi, but Indiana chapters soon followed in Gary and Indianapolis.  The Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center opened on the Indiana University campus in 1969. The center was originally called the "Black House," but renamed the Black Culture Center in 1972. The center was located in various buildings on campus, but moved into its new home at 275, previously 109, North Jordan Avenue in 2001 after years of effort by students, alumni, and administration. In January 2002, the NMBCC was officially dedicated to Marcellus Neal and Frances Marshall, who were respectively the first African American man and woman to graduate from Indiana University.

"When I said I was going to college, people thought I was crazy," she said. "It was unusual for a woman to go to college, especially a black woman."
