title: Hasaan Ibn Ali

text:
Hasaan Ibn Ali (born William Henry Langford, Jr.; May 6, 1931 – 1980) was an American jazz pianist and composer.

Ibn Ali was strongly influenced by Elmo Hope, and his playing was rapid and intense, retaining a sense of rhythm even when his style became increasingly unconventional. Only one recording of his playing – The Max Roach Trio Featuring the Legendary Hasaan – was released in his lifetime. Ibn Ali built a reputation in Philadelphia, where he influenced musicians including John Coltrane, but he remained little known elsewhere.

Life and career
Hasaan Ibn Ali was born William Henry Langford, Jr. in Philadelphia on May 6, 1931. His mother was a domestic worker. In 1946 (aged 15), he toured with trumpeter Joe Morris's rhythm and blues band. In 1950, he played locally with Clifford Brown, Miles Davis, J. J. Johnson, Max Roach, and others. Based in Philadelphia, Ibn Ali freelanced and acquired a reputation locally as "an original composer and theorist", in musicologist Lewis Porter's words. The pianist performed with Horace Arnold in New York City in 1959, and again in 1961–62, in a trio with Henry Grimes.

According to Roach, while visiting New York, Ibn Ali went from club to club to play, and sometimes at the drummer's home in the middle of the night continued to play unaccompanied on the piano there. The drummer routinely recorded Ibn Ali's playing in this way when the pianist visited. The Library of Congress has a 1964 recording of an Ibn Ali solo improvisation, recorded at Roach's home. John Murph in JazzTimes described it in 2014: "Thoroughly modern with a whimsical rhythmic undertow and wayward melodic passages, it sounds like a new Jason Moran composition."

An album, The Max Roach Trio Featuring the Legendary Hasaan, was recorded on December 4 and 7, 1964, and released six months later. The trio also featured Roach and bassist Art Davis, and the album consisted of seven tracks, all written by Ibn Ali. The recording opportunity was initiated by Roach, who used his influence with Nesuhi Ertegun of Atlantic Records to secure the session for Ibn Ali. Alan Sukoenig, in his liner notes to the album, wrote: "For a while it appeared that it was Hasaan Ibn Ali's destiny to be known – to those who had heard of him at all – as the extraordinary jazz pianist from Philadelphia who had never made a record." After the album, Ibn Ali's profile receded once more.

According to music journalist Tom Moon, Ibn Ali was "Described by (usually tolerant) jazz musicians as eccentric and/or unstable". Saxophonist Odean Pope, who was mentored by Ibn Ali, stated that the pianist "was so advanced that musicians shied away from him. [...] He was very dedicated, very sincere, but also very outspoken [...] If he were in a club, and the pianist wasn't making it, Hasaan would push him right off the bench and start playing himself." Pope also described the times that they practised together, over a period of several years, in the house that Ibn Ali lived in with his parents. Pope arrived at the house in the morning, and they played from 9:30 until 12:00, had a break for lunch and to play chess, then continued practising until four or five o'clock. Ibn Ali then got dressed, having been in his bathrobe, and they went out to play in the homes of people nearby, for "a couple dollars and some hot tea".

Ibn Ali had further studio sessions, with Pope, Art Davis and drummer Khalil Madi, on August 23 and September 7, 1965. The master tapes were destroyed in the fire at Atlantic's warehouse at Long Branch, New Jersey in 1978. Pope believed that the recordings were not released by Atlantic because the label found out that the pianist had been imprisoned shortly after the sessions for drug offences. A copy of the recording was uncovered decades later; CD and LP versions were released as Metaphysics: The Lost Atlantic Album by Omnivore Recordings in 2021. A 2-CD set featuring Hasaan, Retrospect in Retirement of Delay: The Solo Recordings {Omnivore), was released later in 2021. These recordings from 1962–65, according to Richard Brody in The New Yorker, "reveals his profundity, his overwhelming power, his mighty virtuosity. It does more than put him on the map of jazz history—it expands the map to include the vast expanse of his musical achievement."

"Reckless with his health, Hasaan died young", commented writer Geoffrey Haydon in 2002.
The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz states that Ibn Ali died in Philadelphia in 1980 (aged 48 or 49). Ibn Ali's parents had been killed in a fire that destroyed their home at 2406 North Gratz Street on October 24 that year. He went to a recreation centre for homeless people after the fire.

Playing style and influences
A reviewer for The Glasgow Herald in 1965 commented on Ibn Ali's playing on the Atlantic album with Roach that "One's first reaction is astonishment at the blazing finger technique, [...] and the complete individuality of his harmonics [sic]". AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow described Ibn Ali's playing on the album as "intense, somewhat virtuosic and rhythmic, yet often melodic in a quirky way".

Drummer Sherman Ferguson said of Ibn Ali, "he was a prime example of somebody that was very avant-garde in some ways, but he was always musical. So people of all ages liked his music, even when he played out. [...He] had that thing, where he had a natural feeling. He got to the thing where it swung no matter what he was doing." Saxophonist Benny Golson commented that Ibn Ali "became very skilled at the modern sounds, and then went right past them into something very esoteric. He went way out there. I guess you could say his brakes didn't work."

Jazz critic Kenny Mathieson described Ibn Ali as "An Elmo Hope acolyte with a rhythmic quirkiness that had him compared with [Thelonious] Monk and [Herbie] Nichols". Ibn Ali himself credited Hope with being his main inspiration: "by meeting Mr Hope it was like talking to and having acquaintance with the mystery of music, who explained not by the ruler or lip but with music. So from him I heard how to learn."

Legacy
Pope credits Ibn Ali with influencing saxophonist John Coltrane's sheets of sound approach. Ibn Ali examined the possibilities of playing fourths, and of using "chord progressions that moved by seconds or thirds instead of fifths, in playing a variety of scales and arpeggios against each chord" – features later used extensively in Coltrane's playing. A home recording of Ibn Ali playing with Coltrane and others in 1952 may exist.

Pope also commented that "every important musician who came out of this area [Philadelphia] in the fifties and sixties, including McCoy Tyner, learned from him."

title: Feathered Dreams

text:
Feathered Dreams is a 2012 Nigerian-Ukrainian drama film, directed by Andrew Rozhen, who also stars in the film with Omoni Oboli. The film which is the first collaboration between Nigeria and Ukraine tells the story of a young Nigerian medical student in Ukraine, Sade (Omoni Oboli) who dreams of becoming a singer, but she's faced with several difficulties associated with being a foreigner. Feathered Dreams is also the first Ukrainian English-language feature film.

Production
The Co-production of Feathered Dreams came as a result of the need for Ukrainian filmmakers to get into the Nigerian market and the African market at large. The Ukrainian film industry was facing funding difficulties and lack of state's support, so filmmakers were sourcing for alternatives by collaborating with thriving industries. Igor Maron, one of the producers stated that he was inspired to be part of the project after he visited Abuja, Nigeria and he could find so many Nigerians who could speak Russian and Ukrainian because they'd studied in the former Soviet Union, so he thought it'd nice to have a film that focuses on the foreign community in Ukraine. The director Andrew Rozhen had to travel twice to Nigeria to familiarize with the methods of film production in Nollywood. The film was shot on location in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2011 and it marks the first collaboration between Nigeria and Ukraine. It is also the first Ukrainian English-language feature film. Omoni Oboli travelled twice to Ukraine during the duration of filming, spending six weeks and two weeks respectively. the director, Rozhen, who also played the male lead role in the film had no prior acting experience. His decision to act in the film was due to the lack of English speaking actors in Ukraine.

Music and Soundtrack

Music for Feathered Dreams was composed by Sergey Vusyk. The song "My Everything" was penned by Natalia Shamaya and performed by Gaitana. The Original Soundtrack was released under Lavina music label and Highlight Pictures.

title: Albert Glinsky

text:
Albert Glinsky (born December 9, 1952) is an American composer and author.  His music has been performed internationally by soloists, ensembles, and dance companies.  His book, Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage won the 2001 ASCAP Deems Taylor Award, and is regarded as the standard work on the life of Leon Theremin.  In 2009 Glinsky was invited by the family of synthesizer pioneer, Bob Moog (who wrote the foreword to Glinsky's Theremin), to create Moog's biography.  Switched On: Bob Moog and the Synthesizer Revolution, with a Foreword by Francis Ford Coppola, was released by Oxford University Press on September 23, 2022.

Life
Glinsky is the son of American sculptors, Cleo Hartwig and Vincent Glinsky.  He grew up in Greenwich Village, attended the High School of Music and Art (now the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School), and studied composition with Joan Tower and Otto Luening.  He received his bachelor and master of music degrees in composition from the Juilliard School where his principal teacher was David Diamond.  He earned his Ph.D. in composition from New York University, specializing in electroacoustic music.  Glinsky has served on the faculty of Montclair State University, was BMI Composer-in-Residence at Vanderbilt University, and is currently Professor Emeritus and Director of the Composition program at Mercyhurst University in Pennsylvania. He is married to harpsichordist/pianist Linda Kobler. They have two children, son, Luka Glinsky, and daughter, Allegra Glinsky.

Musical works
Glinsky's music has been recorded on the RCA Red Seal, Koch International Classics, Centaur, BMG Catalyst, and Leonore labels.  His work is published by C.F. Peters, E.C. Schirmer, and Hinshaw Press.

Since his earliest student days at Juilliard, Glinsky forged a style based on the melding of contemporary popular musics with classical traditions—one of the first composers to cross-pollinate such radically different musical styles.  The American writer and music critic, Tim Page observed that, “Glinsky's work is generated by American popular music, and is cast in a traditional framework of gesture and form.”  The first piece to fully incorporate this idea was the Rhapsody for Solo Violin, Flute, Strings, and Timpani (1971-1974), described variously by critics as evoking, “the hoedown sound of Kentucky bluegrass,”  and employing, “pentatonic, a dash of Blues, Country, pop and quartal harmonies...skillfully and organically mixed."The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the Rhapsody, “effectively translates…‘folk-rock music and other popular musics’ into an orchestral format.”

In a similar vein, the composer's piano Elegy (1976) was noted by The Washington Post as “a rhapsodic, syncopated classical jazz ballad that is splendidly crafted.” Allan Kozinn, writing in The New York Times, termed the Elegy, “…a beautifully wrought fantasy, in which diverse influences (from Debussy to Cecil Taylor, with a touch of Rachmaninoff) show through but never dominate. Its central section is full of fascinating and unpredictable harmonic turns.”  Another early work to make significant use of pop idioms was the Mass for Children's Voices (1978), a piece which the composer stated, “is set in a contemporary folk/rock style, yet at the same time has traditional overtones of chorale writing and unison chant.”

American Record Guide remarked on Glinsky's success in combining disparate styles in Sunbow (1983), which “reflects the world of unmeasured preludes beloved by his wife, Linda Kobler (the harpsichordist for whom the work was written) and his own zest for rock music (he cites Stevie Wonder as the inspiration . . .) Believe it or not, the combination works and the results are a lot more sophisticated than you'd think.”  Glinsky's blending of pop and classical influences has also been noted in Toccata-Scherzo (1988), defined by American critic Alex Ross as “an encore-like showpiece driven by a pop pulse.”  Similarly, Glinsky's Piano Concerto (1993) was characterized as “a modern classical work heavily influenced by contemporary pop and rock music. The synthesis of styles—a Glinsky trademark—provides not only an overall, idiomatic effect but specific musical nuggets—points of inspiration drawn from contemporary performers such as folk rocker Suzanne Vega... or British concept rocker Kate Bush.”

Glinsky's Canandaigua Quartet (1996), which opens the Oregon String Quartet's CD, All That Jazz; Jazz and Rock Influences in the Contemporary American String Quartet, prompted the Journal of the Society for American Music to comment: "If we may indeed interpret this recording as a melding of two worlds, this selection is a perfect one with which to raise the curtain.” The review likened portions of the first movement to “a back-beat rhythm in a rock band,” while the last movement, "Spin Out", was noted for “especially interesting ponticello, tremolo, and glissando effects that simulate an electric guitar or synthesizer.” Fanfare magazine remarked on the “folk elements in the already heady jazz and rock mix.”

Another compositional area Glinsky has explored is electronic music, prompted by the work he did at the New York University studios in the mid-1980s with a variety of digital and analog synthesizers including the alphaSyntauri, Voyetra-8, Serge, Buchla, Moog, McLeyvier, Aries, Yamaha DX7, and the Fairlight CMI. His interest in ‘art rock’ artists, some of whom were using these instruments on their albums, sparked a series of short compositions created entirely in the studio. The composer's 1995 piece on the subject of homelessness, Day Walker, Night Wanderer, is a 45-minute dramatic work for chamber ensemble, solo vocalist, and an electronic score. It was commissioned for the Philadelphia-based new music ensemble, Relâche, which created the premiere. In his program notes for the first performance, Glinsky wrote, “Stylistically, the work draws upon many resources: the integration of rock and jazz elements which characterize my work as a whole; an interest in electronic sound collage from my days at the electronic music studios of New York University; and a long standing fascination with the music of such ‘concept rockers’ as Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. In short, I have attempted to join together ‘art song’ and ‘art rock’ in an amalgam which draws the deeper levels of psychological exploration from the one, and weds it to the spontaneity and directness of the other.”

Among Glinsky's recent works are his Allegheny Quartet (2009), commissioned for the 250th Anniversary of the city of Pittsburgh—described by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review as “an immediately appealing work,” incorporating “the very effective setting of Native American, French and English folk tunes,” and his Sun Chanter (2013), commissioned for the 100th Anniversary of the Erie Philharmonic—a piece which, according to the composer, integrates influences of musical theater into the harmonic language.

Albert Glinsky's works have been heard throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Far East in such venues as Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, the Aspen Music Festival, Wolf Trap, Tokyo's Suntory Hall, and the Salle Cortot in Paris.  His works have been commissioned, performed, and recorded by such organizations as the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, the Cavani String Quartet, the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, Relache, the Boys Choir of Harlem, the Erie Philharmonic, the Westmoreland Symphony, the Oregon and Biava String Quartets, Concerto Soloists of Philadelphia, the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society, and by pianists Greg Anderson, Neil Rutman, Tibor Szasz, and Leslie Spotz, violinist Maria Bachmann, and conductors Walter Hendl, Eiji Oue, Edmond de Stoutz, Ignat Solzhenitsyn, and Daniel Meyer, among others.  Glinsky's music is frequently choreographed, and has been presented by the Joffrey II Company (three-season international tour), Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Marin Ballet, Lexington Ballet, Wilkes Barre Ballet, and at universities across the U.S. He has been granted awards and honors from the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Hinrichsen Award), the Jerome Foundation, the Astral Foundation, Meet the Composer (now New Music USA), the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York State CAPS Fellowship program.  Glinsky received two awards from the Alienor International Harpsichord Competition (1986, 2004), and was a Ucross Foundation Resident Artist in Wyoming.   He is a member of the American Composers Alliance.

Recognized by The American Academy of Arts and Letters, Glinsky's Hinrichsen Award citation calls his music, “vibrantly American in rhythm, accent, and in its soaring lyricism.”  Summing up Glinsky's work, the American conductor, Walter Hendl wrote in 1994, “I consider Albert Glinsky to be one of the finest young American Composers. . . . I performed the world premiere of his symphonic poem, ‘Throne of the Third Heaven’ in 1989. I have heard and seen the score of his piano concerto, and consider it to be a major contribution to the concerto literature. In my estimation, it compares most favorably with the Samuel Barber piano concerto.” Glinsky's Throne of the Third Heaven is referenced in the book, Weird Virginia, which includes a section on the visionary sculpture of the same name, created by James Hampton, that inspired the composer's orchestral work.

Books
Glinsky is the author of Switched On: Bob Moog and the Synthesizer Revolution, with a Foreword by Francis Ford Coppola (Oxford University Press, 2022).  Switched On is the first definitive biography of the American inventor, the result of 12 years of research and exclusive access to the Moog family archives.  Shortly after publication, James Hall of The Telegraph [London] called it, "[an] absorbing new biography.... a towering tribute," and the book was named a Telegraph Editorial Pick. Andy Hamilton of The Wire described it as, "a book to savour and return to," Electronic Sound called it "an inspiring read,"  and DownBeat included it in its Top Seven recommended holiday books of 2022. In connection with the book, Glinsky has appeared on such programs and podcasts as Echoes (PRX), Talk Radio Europe (Spain), and New Books Network.

Albert Glinsky's biography, Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage, with a Foreword by Robert Moog, was published in 2000 by the University of Illinois Press, and received positive worldwide press coverage in both print and broadcast media, ranging from the Toronto Star and The Weekly Standard to Electronic Musician magazine, Computer Music Journal, and Performance Today (National Public Radio). The London Times called it, "a fascinating rediscovery of a forgotten man, and a valuable contribution to the history of the future."  The Washington Post found it,  “exhaustively researched and revealing,” and Larry Lipkis wrote in the Library Journal that it “approaches the writings of Alexandr Solzhenitsyn in its intensity."  The American critic and composer, Kyle Gann wrote, “Albert Glinsky's Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage is the most exciting music biography I’ve ever read.”   The Wire magazine called it, "a top-flight biography destined to remain the defining portrait of its subject,” and since its publication the book has become the primary resource on Leon Theremin and his work in both academic and popular spheres.  The American musicologist, Richard Taruskin, referenced and quoted from Theremin in his book, Music in the Late Twentieth Century: The Oxford History of Western Music, and the book is referenced in such volumes as Cambridge Introductions to Music: Electronic Music, Electronic and Experimental Music by Thom Holmes, Analog Days by Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco, and in numerous masters theses, doctoral dissertations, and academic papers around the world on topics ranging from electronic music histories to sensor technology and scientific and musical applications of electromagnetic fields.  Theremin has also been used in required reading lists for various courses on electronic music.

The Czech playwright and director, Petr Zelenka has cited Glinsky's Theremin as a major source for his play, Teremin; American poet, David Wojahn has credited Theremin as the inspiration for his poem,Theremin: Solo and Command Performance; and Canadian author, Sean Michaels has stated that his novel Us Conductors drew its major source material from Glinsky's book.  Moscow's Theremin Center director, Andrey Smirnov, quotes from Theremin in the introduction to his Generation Z exhibition which has toured in Russia, Hungary and Germany.  Theremin continues to receive published reviews, the most recent appearing in Russian Life magazine.

Theremin has elicited interest from the intelligence community in connection with Leon Theremin's espionage activity.  The biography is cited in the book Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America; the author was interviewed on the podcast, Spycraft 101; and Glinsky was invited to lecture at the CIA in Langley, Virginia on Leon Theremin's Great Seal Bug, also known as The Thing.

Theremin received the 2001 ASCAP Deems Taylor Award, and since the book's publication, Glinsky has been invited to present lectures on Leon Theremin and his work at many venues in the U.S. and abroad, including at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, Katonah, New York, the Encuentro de Vanguardias 1er Tecnologicas y Culturales in Madrid, Spain, the Moogfest in Asheville, North Carolina, the Pittsburgh Symphony, and at American and Canadian colleges and universities.  In December, 2000, Albert Glinsky appeared in a joint presentation with Bob Moog at the University of Buffalo.

Glinsky has been interviewed and featured on many nationally and internationally syndicated radio and television programs, including CBS Sunday Morning, PBS History Detectives, the Science Channel, the Discovery Channel, A&E, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service radio, Canada's CBC Radio and CBC Television, Public Radio International (PRI), and on theremin-related videos.

From 1997-1999, Gibson was a research associate to Harrison White and Kathryn Neckerman for the project funded by the Citigroup Behavioral Sciences Research Council (chaired by James March) entitled, “Conflict and Cooperation in Work Groups.” He completed a PhD with distinction, in 1999, also from Columbia. Under the supervision of Peter Bearman along with advisors Randall Collins, and Harrison White, he completed his dissertation entitled Taking Turns and Talking Ties: Conversational Sequences in Business Meetings. For his doctoral research, Gibson:

Funded by a National Science Foundation grant, Gibson joined the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy as a post-doctoral fellow under the direction of Harrison White for the project titled: “Dynamics From Social Settings: Representations of Interdependent Social Forms”.

Gibson then accepted a position of assistant professor at Harvard University, where he taught from 2001 to 2005, and then moved to the University of Pennsylvania, also as an assistant professor. He was briefly a lecturer at Princeton University before accepting a position as associate professor of sociology at the University of Notre Dame in 2013.

He has served on the editorial boards of the journals Social Psychology Quarterly (2007–2009) and Sociological Theory (2011–2012).

Contributions

According to Douglas Brinkley, in Gibson's 2012 publication Talk at the Brink: Deliberation and Decision during the Cuban Missile Crisis, "the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962 is reinterpreted in this brilliant, analytic exposé... [and] sheds landmark new light on the terse diplomacy between Kennedy and Khrushchev." Likewise, Jane Mansbridge argues that Talk at the Brink "makes a major intellectual and scholarly contribution to our understanding of human behavior...The book's strongest lesson is how open and nonlinear important decisions can be." The book won the 2013 Melvin Pollner Prize for Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis. The book received additional reviews in the American Journal of Sociology by Phaedra Daipha, in The 49th Parallel by Scott Midgley, in Perspectives on Politics by Frank Harvey, and in Social Forces by Erik Schneiderhan. In 2012, Gibson published a summary of this research in Nature, called "Decisions at the Brink."

His research has been covered by The New York Times, NPR, and Business Insider.

Ronald Breiger is an American sociologist and a Regents Professor, a professor of sociology and (by courtesy) government and public policy, an affiliate of the interdisciplinary graduate program in statistics and data science, and an affiliate of the interdisciplinary graduate program in applied mathematics at the University of Arizona. Prior to coming to Arizona he served on the faculties of Harvard University (assistant to associate professor) and Cornell University (professor to Goldwin Smith Professor of Sociology). He is well cited in the fields of social networks, social stratification, mathematical sociology, organizational sociology and cultural sociology and, with Linton Freeman, edited the influential academic journal Social Networks from 1998 to 2006. In 2005 he was the recipient of the Georg Simmel Distinguished Career Award of the International Network for Social Network Analysis,. In 2018 he received the James S. Coleman Distinguished Career Achievement Award of the American Sociological Association (ASA) Section on Mathematical Sociology. In 2020 he was the recipient of the Paul F. Lazarsfeld Award of the ASA Section on Methodology, recognizing a scholar who has made a career of outstanding contributions to methodology in sociology.

Early life and career

Ronald Breiger grew up in Englewood, New Jersey. He received his AB Summa cum Laude at Brandeis University in 1970 with a thesis entitled: Value Conceptions in Early American Sociology. In 1975 he received a PhD from Harvard University. His dissertation was on "Dual and Multiple Networks of Social Structure". His committee consisted of Harrison White(chair), Mark Granovetter and Thomas F. Pettigrew.

In 1985-86, Breiger was a fellow of the Stanford Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and he was named a Fulbright Senior Scholar for 1987-88. He is also a national affiliate of the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality.

Major contributions
Breiger's primary contributions have been to the field of social network analysis. The most widely cited are, with co-authors Harrison White and Scott A. Boorman, "Social Structure from Multiple Networks. I. Blockmodels of Roles and Positions" published in 1976. and "The Duality of Persons and Groups" published in 1974.

Beginning in 2000, Breiger devoted considerable attention to elucidating the mutual implications of social network analysis and the sociology of culture. In recent years, he and colleagues have turned regression analysis and many of its generalizations "inside out" by showing how regression modeling rests on a dual network of profile similarity among the cases.

Breiger has played an important role in applying network analytic techniques to the study of terrorism. For instance, in November 2002, Breiger chaired a workshop on dynamic social network modeling and analysis for the Committee on Human Factors of the National Academy of Sciences convened at the request of the Office of Naval Research. He is also a Research Affiliate with the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, one of the Department of Homeland Security Centers of Excellence.

In 2005 Breiger received the Georg Simmel Distinguished Career Award from the International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA). In 2018 he was the recipient of the James S. Coleman Distinguished Career Achievement Award given by the American Sociological Association Section on Mathematical Sociology. In 2020 he was the recipient of the Paul F. Lazarsfeld Award of the ASA Section on Methodology, recognizing a scholar who has made a career of outstanding contributions to methodology in sociology.

title: Monte Sano Railroad Workers' House

text:
The Monte Sano Railroad Workers' House is a historic boarding house in Huntsville, Alabama, United States. Built in 1888, it is the only remaining building relating to the Monte Sano Hotel and Railroad.  The North Alabama Improvement Company built the three-story, Queen Anne hotel on Monte Sano Mountain in 1887.  The following year, construction began on a rail line connecting the hotel with the Memphis and Charleston Depot downtown.  The house was constructed to house workers building and later operating the railroad.

The workers' house was originally a saddlebag plan building, consisting of two rooms sharing a central chimney.  A shed roofed, two-room addition was added in 1925.  The façade has two doors, flanked by two-over-two sash windows.  The house is clad with board-and-batten siding, and topped with a gabled metal roof.  The structure was modernized after 1997, and a shed-roof front porch added.

The hotel and railroad venture was not a financial success, and the railroad shut down in 1895, followed by the hotel in 1904.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

title: Alauddin Mahmud Syah II

text:
Sultan Alauddin Mahmud Syah II (died 28 January 1874) was the thirty-fourth sultan of Aceh in northern Sumatra. He reigned from 1870 to 1874 and was the last sultan to rule Aceh before the colonial invasion.

Rivalries at the court

He was the son of Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman Ali Iskandar Syah (d. 1857) and a commoner wife. When his granduncle Alauddin Ibrahim Mansur Syah died in 1870 without living sons, Alauddin Mahmud Syah was enthroned, still a minor. He married Pocut Meurah Awan as his main wife. His main councilors were Panglima Tibang and the Arab Habib Abdurrahman Az-Zahir. The latter had exerted influence on the late sultan and was appointed guardian to the young successor who greatly admired his tutor. The two councilors were at odds with each other; Habib Abdurrahman realized that Aceh could not stay isolated from the world and favoured an understanding with the Dutch colonial state, while Panglima Tibang was averse to any compromise with Aceh's independent position.

The Sumatra Treaty

The independence of Aceh had been granted by the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, but it was obvious that the old state of things would not last long. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 meant that the Melaka Straits became one of the world's most important sea routes. It was therefore highly desirable for the Dutch to gain control over northern Sumatra, and to secure that no other power gained foothold there. Negotiations with the British proceeded and an agreement was finally signed on 2 November 1871, the Sumatra Treaty. The Netherlands removed restrictions on British trade on Sumatra. In a separate but related treaty it ceded the Dutch Gold Coast in Africa. In return it gained free hands to expand in northern Sumatra - there was no more guarantee for an independent Aceh. Through a particular treaty the Dutch also got the right to recruit indentured labour from British India for Surinam. All this was done entirely over the head of the Acehnese sultan who was not consulted.

Failed diplomacy

The Netherlands now exerted diplomatic pressure on the Aceh court to accept a satisfactory treaty. The officer Krayenhoff visited Aceh in May 1872 but was not allowed to meet the sultan since Habib Abdurrachman was away. Shortly afterwards Alauddin Mahmud Syah commissioned Habib Abdurrachman to seek political support from the Ottoman Empire whose ruler was still revered by the Acehnese as the Lord of the Faithful. Meanwhile Panglima Tibang proceeded to Riau where he asked the Dutch authorities for a delay of further negotiations for six months, which was granted. The idea was to win time pending the possibility of a positive Ottoman reply. After two months Panglima Tibang headed back to Aceh on the Dutch ship Marnix. On the way he called at Singapore where he entered into secret negotiations with the American and Italian consuls. The American and Italian home governments were not involved, but as news about the negotiations leaked out the Dutch authorities were greatly alarmed. The prospect of getting a Western neighbour on Sumatra was deeply disturbing for the colonial policy of the Netherlands. The Ottoman involvement turned out to be less of a problem; although the mission of Habib Abdurrachman gained some sympathies at the Porte, Turkey was too weak to undertake anything.

The Aceh War

The Governor-General in Batavia, James Loudon, considered that the Acehnese sultan must be given the choice of acknowledging Dutch supremacy or face war. He held on to this even after it appeared that Alauddin Mahmud Syah was not personally involved in the Singapore negotiations. The official J.F.N. Nieuwenhuyzen was dispatched to Aceh in March 1873. Arriving to the roadstead outside the capital he issued an ultimatum. The reply was evasive and on 26 March war was declared. This was the start of the Aceh War that would keep the Dutch colonial army busy for the next four decades. Some days later an army of 3,600 men under General J.H.R. Köhler arrived by sea. The troops landed and the fortified Baiturrahman Grand Mosque was taken. However, General Köhler was killed in the process and an attempt on the sultan's palace failed. The expedition returned to Java in April after having utterly failed. A second expedition under Jan van Swieten, almost twice as strong, landed in December 1873. This time it was well prepared. The mosque was again taken on 6 January 1874, and the palace was occupied on 24 January after the defenders had deserted it. Sultan Alauddin Mahmud Syah, who was sick with cholera, had been evacuated on 15 January and brought to Luëng Bata. He died there on 28 January 1874. However, the idea held by the Dutch military leadership that the fall of the capital would make an end to the war, proved entirely false. A new sultan, Alauddin Muhammad Da'ud Syah II, was proclaimed in the next year and would symbolize resistance against the intruders until 1903.

title: Mississippi baby

text:
The Mississippi baby (born 2010) is a Mississippi girl who in 2013 was thought to have been cured of HIV.  She had contracted HIV at birth from her HIV-positive mother.  Thirty hours after the baby was born, she was treated with intense antiretroviral therapy.  When the baby was about 18 months old, the mother did not bring the child in for scheduled examinations for the next five months.  When the mother returned with the child, doctors expected to find high levels of HIV, but instead the HIV levels were undetectable. The Mississippi baby was thought to be the other person, after the "Berlin patient," to have been cured of HIV. As a result, the National Institutes of Health planned to conduct a worldwide study on aggressive antiretroviral treatment of newborn infants of mothers with HIV infections. It was thought that aggressive antiretroviral therapy on newborn infants might be a cure for HIV. On July 10, 2014, however, it was reported that the child was found to be infected with HIV.

The worldwide study planned by the NIH continues in 2023 at 50 sites as clinical trial NCT02140255 under the same principal investigator.

Background
In 2010, the "Mississippi baby" was a girl born by spontaneous vaginal delivery to an HIV infected mother at University of Mississippi Medical Center.  The mother had received no prenatal care.  During labor, the mother was tested for HIV and found to be positive.  She gave birth to the baby before antiretroviral therapy could be delivered to prevent the transmission of HIV from the mother to the baby.  When the baby was 30 hours old, Dr. Hannah Gay made the decision to begin aggressive antiretroviral therapy before the test results were available.  The baby was tested for HIV at 30 and 31 hours of age and found to be infected.

Antiretroviral therapy was continued and the baby was tested at 6, 11, and 19 days of age.  All three tests were positive for HIV.  At age 29 days, she was tested again and HIV levels were found to have dropped below detectable levels. During the girl's first year, she was not breast fed and adherence by the mother to the antiretroviral therapy was determined by examining pharmacy records and by HIV testing. During this time, adherence to the therapy regimen was determined to be adequate.

At 18 months of age, there was concern about adherence to the therapy regimen, but HIV levels remained below detectable levels.  Between 18 and 23 months of age, the infant missed all clinical visits and the mother reported that she had stopped the antiretroviral therapy when the child was 18 months old—normally therapy would not have been stopped.  The infant was tested and HIV levels were unexpectedly below detectable levels.  Antiretroviral therapy was therefore not restarted.

The mother of the Mississippi baby tested positive for HIV 24 months after delivery.  She began antiretroviral therapy 26 months after delivery and was still positive for HIV 28 months after delivery.

As of July 2014, the child was 46 months old.

Reported cure
In October 2013, the physicians in charge of the Mississippi baby's antiretroviral therapy reported that at 30 months, 12 months after antiretroviral therapy stopped, HIV levels in the child were found to be below detectable levels. They first reported these results at 2013 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta and subsequently published them in The New England Journal of Medicine.  Tests showed that the HIV DNA was still present but at levels similar to those in the only other person thought to be "functionally" cured of HIV (i.e., "control of viral replication and lack of rebound once they come off antiretroviral medications"), the "Berlin patient".

Robert F. Siliciano hypothesized that the infant girl received antiretroviral therapy before producing memory T cells, which are immune cells that can serve as a viral reservoir for HIV. If treatment is received before they develop, there may be no place in the body for HIV to hide from antiretroviral drugs.

HIV re-emergence
On July 10, 2014, at a news conference held at the National Institutes of Health, health experts announced that detectable levels of HIV had been found in the child in tests conducted a week earlier. In two separate tests, they found that her blood levels of HIV had gone from undetectable to 10,000 copies of HIV per milliliter. According to Anthony Fauci director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, this result "is a disappointing turn of events for this young child, the medical staff involved in the child's care and the HIV/AIDS research community". Hannah Gay told NPR that the re-emergence of the virus "felt very much like a punch to the gut". The Mississippi baby had been off her strong antiretroviral therapy for 27 months.  Her HIV status was monitored every 6 to 8 weeks during that time with regular clinical visits.

After her HIV status was confirmed by testing, she was placed back on antiretroviral therapy.  By July 10, there were clinical indications that the therapy was working and reducing her viral load.

Analysis
If a mother is known to have HIV, she is given antiretroviral therapy during her pregnancy, which reduces the transmission of HIV to her baby to less than 2 percent (if a mother is untreated, transmission rates range from 15 to 45 percent).  Although it is not common in the United States, some mothers do not know their HIV status and are not treated with antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy.  In 2011, 127 babies were born HIV positive in the United States, but an estimated 330,000 babies per year are infected at birth by HIV around the world.

Before the news of the re-emergence of the virus in the Mississippi baby, the National Institutes of Health had planned to conduct a worldwide study (using 17 hospitals in the US and hospitals in 11 other countries) of 54 infants that tested positive for HIV and to treat them with aggressive antiretroviral therapy within 48 hours after birth.  If the infants subsequently had undetectable levels of HIV, the therapy would be stopped at 24 months.  They would then be monitored for at least five years to see whether detectable levels of HIV re-emerged, as with HIV patients who stop taking their drugs. The study also planned to include two groups: infants breast fed by mothers who are receiving antiretroviral therapy and babies fed only infant formula. Fauci stated that the planned study would likely continue, but modifications would be made. In particular, it is ethically unclear whether antiretroviral therapy should be stopped after 24 months to see whether viral loads rebound. George J. Annas told NPR that he did not think that this aspect of the proposed study would pass "ethical muster".

As a result of the re-occurrence of the virus in the Mississippi baby, researchers are now asking whether fragments of the virus, which were still detectable, managed to recombine into a whole virus, or whether the virus managed to hide somewhere in the body that rendered it undetectable in testing. One hypothesis had been that babies might be born without viral reservoirs in which the virus could hide. Anthony Fauci told USA Today that it had long been hypothesized that a cure for HIV was possible "if you can get somebody treated before the reservoir of virus forms in the body, and before the immune system has been damaged by months or years of viral replication." For instance, healthcare workers exposed to HIV immediately receive therapy, which almost always prevents infection by HIV.

Nevertheless, Deborah Persaud told USA Today that

Sarah Fidler of Imperial College London believes, despite the Mississippi baby setback, that early treatment could prevent the virus from taking hold.  Babies born of untreated HIV mothers become infected during the first hours of birth, and Fidler believes that effective treatment may have to begin within this brief window; this would require having antiretroviral drugs immediately available at the time of birth.

Related cases
There is a second baby infected with HIV in California who received antiretroviral therapy four hours after birth.  The baby will not be taken off antiretroviral drugs to determine whether she is cured for ethical reasons. , the baby was in foster care because her mother was in an advanced stage of AIDS.

title: Jakey Hollow Natural Area

text:
The Jakey Hollow Natural Area is a natural area in Jakey Hollow in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. The natural area has an area of 59 acres. A hiking trail known as the Ward Crawford Trail is in the area and hunting is also permitted there. Part of the natural area is old-growth forest and recognized by the Old-Growth Forest Network. Some logging was historically done in portions of Jakey Hollow. The area was purchased by Ward Crawford and his brother in the 1950s. They sold it to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in 1990.

Location and description

The Jakey Hollow Natural Area is located in Hemlock Township, Madison Township, and Mount Pleasant Township, in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. A small portion of Jakey Hollow is in the northeastern corner of Hemlock Township and the southeastern corner of Madison Township. The vast majority of the hollow is in Mount Pleasant Township, which is also where the entirety of the natural area is located. With an area of , the natural area is one of the smallest natural areas in Pennsylvania.

The Jakey Hollow Natural Area is located on a small tributary of Little Fishing Creek. It is near the community of Mordansville and  north of Bloomsburg. A glen is also located in the natural area. The area is accessed via Crawford Road.

Two cornfields lie next to the Jakey Hollow Natural Area and the area in the vicinity of it is being developed. Some of the woods surrounding the natural area is privately owned. Some timber is cut in these woods, but no logging has been done in the upper half of Jakey Hollow. Additionally, a stone quarry is found near the natural area. It is possible that in the future, it could become fully surrounded by developed land, specifically housing developments. Runoff from nearby agricultural lands is also found in the natural area.

Biology
The Jakey Hollow Natural Area is considered to be a Northern Conifer Forest Natural Community. Approximately half of the natural area is old-growth forest. The main tree species in the natural area are second-growth eastern hemlock, a small amount of virgin hemlock, and hardwood trees. Additionally, numerous other tree species inhabit the area. There are three oak species: chestnut oak, red oak, and white oak. Other tree species include American beech, black birch, black cherry, white pine, and white ash. The white pine population in the natural area consists of dozens of individuals, some of which more than  high.

There is also a layer of herbs and shrubs in the Jakey Hollow Natural Area. Three species of ferns inhabit the area, as do plants such as Virginia creeper, goldenrod, Indian cucumber, foamflower, skunk cabbage, and others. Clubmosses also inhabit the area in the summer.

A number of bird species inhabit the Jakey Hollow Natural Area. These include the cedar waxwing, the ovenbird, the barred owl, several species of thrushes and warblers, and others. A large population of bluejays also lives in Jakey Hollow.

A number of invasive species inhabit the Jakey Hollow Natural Area, including garlic mustard. Large populations of deer also over-browse in the area. A pest known as the hemlock wooly adelgid is found there as well.

History
The Jakey Hollow Natural Area was originally part of a larger forest that covered the region. The hardwood trees in the natural area are 200 years old. Historically, timbering was done in the hollow and former logging grades are still present.

In the 1950s, Ward Crawford and his brother purchased the land that the Jakey Hollow Natural Area is on and protected it. The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources purchased the land from Ward Crawford in 1990. It remains a protected area. In the 1990s, the natural area was part of the Wyoming State Forest.

Recreation

Hunting is permitted in the Jakey Hollow Natural Area. The trail system of the natural area is not formal or well-established. However, there is an unblazed trail known as the Ward Crawford Trail. This trail starts at the parking lot for the natural area and climbs down into Jakey Hollow, where it crosses the stream at the bottom of the hollow and climbs up the other side, reaching a field. There are also footpaths that run parallel to the stream. The paths in the natural area were created by previous visitors.

The Ward Crawford Trail is  long and takes one hour to complete. The elevation change is . Jeff Mitchell describes the trail as easy in his book Hiking the Endless Mountains: Exploring the Wilderness of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

title: Tomb of Bruno the Priest

text:
The Tomb of Bruno the Priest (German: Grabmal des Priesters Bruno) is grave monument, which is an outstanding example of Romanesque stonework and composition. It was set up after 1194 and is located on the south wall of the choir of Hildesheim Cathedral not far from the Thousand-year rose.

Bruno is found in the records as a member of the Hildesheim cathedral chapter in the role of steward and as a donor for the years 1181–1194. Nothing further is known of his life.

The more than two metre high grave plaque of unusual liveliness and vitality is divided into three scenes full of figures.

The bottom scene, which takes up about half of the plaque, shows the dead man, already wrapped in the funerary shroud with his eyes closed, but with a smile on his face. He is surrounded by six small people depicted in profile, who mourn him: two clerics affectionately lay him to rest, four penitents (including a woman) participate in the funeral, bowing and touching him out of gratitude and reverence. Above the scene is written BRVNO.PR[ES]B[YTE]R – "Bruno the Priest".

The middle scene shows the soul of the deceased in the form of a naked child with a blissful expression and hands opened forwards in adoration. He is borne away to Heaven in a piece of cloth by two angels floating on either side of him.

The upper scene shows Jesus Christ as judge and saviour, covered by a trefoil arch whose central arch forms his halo.  Jesus welcomes the deceased with a gesture of blessing and speaks the words which can be read in the book in his left hand: VENITE BENED[ICTI] PATRIS MEI "Come, blessed by my father" (Mt. 25.34).

Further Latin inscriptions surround the images:
 Below Christ:QD.VNI.EX.MI.M.FE.MI.F(quod uni ex minimis meis fecistis, mihi fecistis) "What you have done to the least of my people, you have done to me" (Mt. 25,40).
 Surrounding the plaque (two  rhyming hexameters):+BRVNONI.CVIVS.SPECIEM.MONSTRAT.LAPIS.ISTEQVI.SVA.PAVPERIBVS.TRIBVIT.DA GAVDIA.CHRISTETo  Bruno, whose face this stone displays, who left his things to the poor, Christ give joy.

title: Castle of Mytilene

text:
The Castle of Mytilene, also Fortress of Mytilene, is located in Mytilene on the Greek island of Lesbos, North Aegean. It is maintained in good condition and is one of the largest castles in the Mediterranean covering an area of 60 acres.  The first castle on the site may have been erected during the time of Justinian I (ruled 527–565). The 6th-century castle may have been built on top of an already existent fortress. In the late Middle ages, the castle was the residence of Francesco I Gattilusio and his successors, especially the tower known today as the Queen's Tower. There is also strong evidence that the original acropolis on the site may have included a sanctuary to Demeter, Kore and Cybele.

History of the castle

The Mytilene castle fortress sits on a hill between the city’s northern and southern ports. From the writing of Homer, the island of Lesbos has been an organized city since 1054 BC.  The early harbor of Mytilene was united during ancient times with a channel 700 meters long and 30 meters wide.  The Greek word Εύριπος or Euripus is a commonly used term when referring to a strait.  The strait allowed ancient 3 rower or more sail boats called Trireme.  The boats that passed were 34 meters and had depth of 4 meters. The castle at this point was east of the island. Castle island was inhabited by people.

The areas of the city that were densely populated connected the two bodies of land with marble bridges, one of which can still be seen under a modern building.  They usually followed a curved line.  The straight begin at the old market called Epano Skala.  It was also close to Metropolis Street and ended at the Southern Harbor.  One could argue that the channel transversed what is now called Ermoo Street.  By the 16th century, if not earlier, the channel was filled in.

The original nucleus of the fortress, designed in Byzantine times, is believed to have been built on top of the ancient acropolis.  According to an old text found in the language Aeolic of Lesbos.  Mytilene was spelled in many different styles two such examples were Mytileanaean and as referenced by Aristotle Maloeis, which was a harbor in Lesbos. According to the same text a Temple of Apollo existed in Maloeis as we learn from Thucydides.  Temples usually were erected at the Acropolis.  A Temple of Apollo may have existed within the Castle infrastructure. Another Case was made by Susan-Marie Cronkite in her Doctoral thesis that a Sanctuary of Demeter may have rested at the Acropolis throughout Mytilene's history.

The city flourished and was in League with the King of Macedon, Lesbos joined a revolt against Rome in the Mithridatic Wars and in 88 BC the Romans destroyed Mytilene and the Temple of Mytilene assumed Apollo's Temple.  They extended domination over the whole island. Pompey later gave Mytilene autonomy, which Emperor Vespasian revoked in 70 AD but Emperor Hadrian Later restored. Theophanes of Mytilene lived in the 1st century, he was a historian and intellectual who was friends with Pompey according to Plutarch he granted freedoms to Mytilene for Theophanes sake.  According to excavations both in the Castle of Mytilene and elsewhere in the town archeologists have uncovered a variety bronze coins Commemorating Theophanes portrait.

The first significant alterations to the fortress were made by Francesco I Gattilusio in 1373. The castle was bombarded and captured by the Ottomans in 1462. In 1501, Sultan Bayezid II repaired the damage suffered by the Castle during the Ottoman–Venetian War (1499–1503), and built two large round towers with cannon and developed new walls.

New construction to modernize the castle was undertaken in 1643-1644 by Bekir Pasha, in the days of Sultan Ibrahim Khan, perhaps in view of the Cretan War (1645–69) or because of destruction by earthquake. They carried out repairs to the walls, erecting a new wall in front of the existing medieval wall. In front of these new structures a deep wide moat was created.

Other changes and additions followed, the most important of which was made in 1677 by the Ottomans.  The lower north sections of the fortifications were added. The Ancient Theatre of Mytilene was used for construction materials. In 1756 Admiral Kuramadji added a polygonal tower near the harbor of Epano Skala.

During the 19th century the function and character of the castle changed. The castle exhibited a more military character, as indicated by the barracks built near the madrasa and the neighboring gunpowder vault.  Its walls, however, were not thick or strong enough to withstand attack by cannons, especially from the seaward side.

The island was captured by Greece during the First Balkan War, on November 8, 1912. After 1912 the castle was used as a source of building material to construct refugee housing which gradually brought about its ruin. The intramural segment continued to be inhabited until shortly after the Second World War. The locals also established brothels (closed since the 1980s) in the Lower Castle.

The castle is currently used for local festivals in the summer and tourist tours it is declared a historical site.

Architecture

From a morphological perspective, the castle is divided into three sections:

 The Acropolis or Upper Castle lies in the north and is the highest point of the hill, there is a Thesmophorion and the Castle of Francesco I Gattilusio
 The Middle Castle, mostly built by Francesco I Gattilusio but was modified by the Ottomans.
 The Lower Castle on the northwest side was added by the Ottomans in 1644, the lower portion has a Turkish bath

In the Upper Castle, Francesco Gattilusio's additions included square stone tower, decorated with the family coats of arms of the Gattilusi and the Palaiologoi. It was also known as the Queen’s Tower. The middle Castle was changed by Francesco I Gattilusio.  During the Ottoman period there were several additions, including Kulé Mosque; an Ottoman Seminary; Tekke Islamic Monastery, the Madrasa, an imaret, a bath-house, the gunpowder store, Cistern, and a Fountain which survive to the present day.  The Ottomans also added the Orta Kapu (Ottoman gate).

The interior of the fortress is being excavated by the Canadian Archaeological Institute, which has unearthed buildings from the Archaic and Classical periods as well as remains dating from medieval times. In 2000, reconstruction began on the Orta Kapi (west-central gate) and the Cistern, and restoration is currently underway on the monument’s interior.  In recent years, a space was created inside the fortress to host summer cultural events.

title: Di L'Aquila

text:
The Di L'Aquila or Capra di L'Aquila is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from the province of L'Aquila, in Abruzzo in southern Italy. It is raised only in that province. It is a heterogeneous breed with variable characteristics, showing the influence of introductions of Alpina Comune, Girgentana, Maltese and Toggenburg stock. It is large, hardy and productive. Management is extensive: the animals are kept on mountain pasture, and brought under cover for protection from the snow only in the winter months.

The Di L'Aquila is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herd-book is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders. In 1983 the total population was estimated at 5000–6000. The herd-book was activated in 2002, but no stock has been recorded in it for many years; in 2007 the population was reported as 590.

Use

The Di L'Aquila yields about  of milk per lactation, which in pluriparous nannies lasts on average 210 days.

Kids are slaughtered at a weight of .

title: Grotta Azzurra (restaurant)

text:
Grotta Azzura, named for the Blue Grotto on the Isle of Capri is an Italian restaurant on the corner of Mulberry Street and Broome Street in the Little Italy section of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The dining establishment was founded in 1908 by the Davino family and reopened in October 2003 in its original space after having been shut for six years. It is noted for having been a frequent haunt of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack as well as Enrico Caruso.  In its later incarnation, it was a hangout for Heath Ledger, the young actor who spent some of his final days living in a rented loft space at 41 Broome street just down the street from the eatery.

Grotta Azzura was one of the first places to serve "Lobster Fra Diavolo" (brother devil in Italian), an Italian American dish rather than a continental Italian one. Wine expert Victor Hazan and his wife the chef Marcella Hazan once told The New York Times that they first remembered eating it there circa 1940. Marcella went on to say "You brought me to that restaurant. I remember the dish clearly because it was so heavy and typical of Italian cooking in America. We don't eat like that in Italy".

In 1977, a member of the restaurant's founding family, John Davino published a book of recipes associated with the establishment called The Recipes of the Grotta Azzurra.

In 2019 Bob Dylan depicted the restaurant in a painting he titled  "Litte Italy".

title: Haystack Island

text:
Haystack Island is an island located in Investigator Strait off the south coast of Yorke Peninsula in the Australian state of South Australia about  south-west of Stenhouse Bay.  Since 1972, it has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park.

Description

Haystack Island is about  south-west of Stenhouse Bay.  It is described as ‘a narrow wall of sheer cliffs, undermined, indented and marked by fresh scars and rockfalls’ and that ‘has been eroded to a series of tall lobes connected by thin necks of rock that narrow to an almost knife-edge ridge’.  It is surrounded by a ‘fringing wave-cut reef’.  The island is about  long by a maximum width of about  and with the tallest lobe having a height of .  Its long axis is aligned in a north-west to south-east direction.

Access is reported as best done in calm seas and that the summit ridge can be reached from the island’s east coast via a rubble cone of rubble, taking care when climbing the slope’s ‘loose and crumbling’ surface.  A survey carried out in 1982 by the responsible government agency used a helicopter to access the island’s summit.
A number of sources consider Haystack Island along with the Althorpe Islands and Seal Island to be a group of islands known as the Althorpe Islands Group.

Formation, geology and oceanography

Haystack Island was formed about 7350 years ago after sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene thereby separating Yorke Peninsula from Kangaroo Island.
Haystack Island consists of a seam of Bridgewater Formation calcarenite that sits on a largely submerged ridge of Gleesons Landing Granite.
Haystack Island rises from a depth of  within  from its southern shore.

Flora and fauna

Flora

A survey carried out in November 1982 found 11 species of plants making up a shrubland covering the island’s ridge including Grey Samphire, Marsh saltbush, and Nitre-bush in the deeper soils, and Cushion-bush, Round-leaved Pigface and Southern Sea-heath in the shallower soils.

Fauna

A survey carried out in November 1982 reported evidence of the presence of the following vertebrate animals - the White-faced storm petrel by the presence of ‘shallow burrows’ used during the ‘summer breeding season’, Pacific gull by the existence of a ‘large midden of shell fragments was found on the highest dome, indicating a feeding site…’, and the White-bellied sea eagle by the presence of a ‘maintained nest’.

Protected areas status

Since 1972, Haystack Island has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park.  Since 2007, it has been a prohibited area where access is only allowed by permit in order to protect the breeding population of seabirds.  Since 2012, the waters surrounding its shores are part of a habitat protection zone located within the boundaries of the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park.

title: Schiffman Building

text:
The Schiffman Building is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama.  The main structure of the building was built in 1845.  Originally, it was a three-bay brick building divided by large, flat pilasters.  The southern bay, at the corner of East Side Square and Eustis Avenue, was remodeled in the Richardsonian Romanesque style in 1895.  The other two bays were demolished in the 1970s.  Future Speaker of the U.S. House William B. Bankhead used the building as an office while he was Huntsville's city attorney from 1898–1902; his daughter, actress Tallulah Bankhead, was born in the second floor apartment. Issac Schiffman, a businessman and banker, purchased the building in 1905 and it has remained in the family since.

The façade is of rough limestone blocks, and is dominated by turrets on the corners that extend above the cornice.  The arched entry sits beside a large, arched window on the first floor.  The window's keystone acts as a corbel for a massive bay window on the second floor.  Above the door is a stone panel, flanked by turrets and marked with "I. Schiffman".  Above the panel are two small windows and a smaller version of the cornice.  Three windows on the third floor, two above the bay window and one above the door side, each have a decorative stone arch above a single lintel.  The stone cornice has large dentils; the same design is carried down the Eustis side of the building on a pressed metal cornice.  The side is faced with stuccoed brick and divided into five bays by protruding pilasters.  Each bay has a one-over-one sash window on each floor, with the final bay containing a door surrounded by a stone arch.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

title: Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques

text:
The Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques (subtitled Journal des candidats aux écoles polytechnique et normale) was a French scientific journal in mathematics. It was established in 1842 by Olry Terquem and Camille-Christophe Gerono, and continued publication until 1927, with later editors including Charles-Ange Laisant and Raoul Bricard. Initially published by Carilian-Goeury, it was taken over after several years by a different publisher, Bachelier.

Although competing in subject matter with Joseph Liouville's Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (with which Terquem had previously been associated), and initially published by a different publisher than Liouville's journal, the editors of the Nouvelles Annales cooperated with Liouville in directing papers between the two journals. As well as publishing new results in mathematics, the Nouvelles Annales included pedagogical material, and extracts from papers published in other journals.
