title: Christen Mule

text:
Christian or Christen Mule (died 1589) was a merchant and Mayor of Oslo, Norway. He was probably a member of the family Mule from Denmark. Mule's parents have not been identified, but claims that he was the illegitimate son of the unpopular bishop Hans Mule, this were disputed by Edvard Bull the elder. Christian was the father of Thomas, Severin (Soren), Kristen, Bertel, and possibly Niels Mule.

Mayor

The first mention of Mule is in 1555, when he is already a central figure in Oslo. He was an advocate for Oslo to the king in connection with the equipment of a warship. He appeared to have close ties to the Governor-general of Norway, Christen Munk, and was appointed mayor of Oslo by him in 1567. In 1579, king Frederick II gave the site of the ruins of the old Bishop's residence in Oslo to Mule, and Mule erected a new building there. Accommodation of prominent guests was a key aspect of belonging to the city's elite. The highlight in this respect was undoubtedly when the retired mayor hosted on 23 November 1589 the wedding of Christian IV's sister Anne of Denmark and James of Scotland.

Mule shared the mayoral office first with Niels Stub and later with Oluf Eriksson Glad, and is noted as mayor for the last time in 1585. One of Mule's sons Niels Kristensson Mule was Bailiff from 1572 to 1578. Another son, Bertel Mule was mayor of Oslo from 1605 to 1610, when he was appointed lawspeaker of the Uplands. He is the only example known of a father and son in the mayoral chair in Oslo before the fire in 1624.

Seven Years' War

The favors that Mule received were largely motivated by his work during the siege of Akershus in 1567 during the Nordic Seven Years' War. Mule probably played a key role in the city's citizen militias and the funding of the defense of Akershus. Among other things, Mule's debt of 1000 krone to a Swede transferred to the Crown and after the war a loan to the lord of 250 krone. He took large losses when the city was burnt during the siege, and estimated the damage to house and property alone at 7000 krone.

Trading

Details of Mule's trading activities are limited but it is known that he bought salt for 30 krone in 1557 and, in partnership with several others, bought hides and skin for 436 valleys and 20 shillings. During and after the war he claimed to have lost three large ships, respectively 100, 200 and 300 lasts.  Mule was involved in the import of German beer. During the war he got a tariff exemption on imports of up to 2 lasts (24 barrels) tystøl. A few years later he asked the King for favor for his four sons, in the form of duty-free import of 6.4 lester Rostockerøl for each man.

title: George A. Dickel

text:
George Augustus Dickel (February 2, 1818 – June 11, 1894) was a German-born American businessman best known for his namesake brand of whiskey, George Dickel, one of two major brands of Tennessee whiskey. Though he was not the distiller of the whiskey, which was originally sold under the brand name "Cascade", his wholesaling firm played an important role in its distribution and marketing, and his name appeared on its labels throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. When Cascade's new owners reopened the original Cascade Hollow distillery in the 1950s, they renamed the whiskey for Dickel.

Though he valued anonymity and preferred to work in the background in business dealings, Dickel was a prominent resident of his adopted hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. He owned a number of smaller business enterprises, at various times, in addition to his liquor wholesaling business.

Early life
Dickel was born out of wedlock to Elisabeth Dickel in Grünberg, Hesse (in modern Germany). He is believed to have been the illegitimate son of Anton Fischer, who lived in Marktheidenfeld. He was named after his godfather (and probable uncle) Georg Adam Fischer. Anton Fischer's father, Adam Fischer, was a Würzburg-area master cooper who specialized in wine casks. Dickel migrated to the United States in 1844, and relocated to Nashville in 1847.

By the mid-1850s, Dickel was operating a boot and shoe manufacturing business on Union Street in Nashville. He continued in this line of work until about 1860.  During this period, he married Augusta Banzer, who was twenty years his junior. Dickel first began selling liquor in 1861.

During the Civil War, rampant smuggling took place in Nashville after Union soldiers occupied the city in 1862 and banned the sale of liquor. While there is no direct evidence linking Dickel to wartime smuggling, the Schwabs, a family of Alsatian immigrants with whom Dickel would long be associated, were heavily involved in Nashville's illicit whiskey trade. A son-in-law of Abram Schwab, Meier Salzkotter (1822–1891), who had been a business associate of Dickel since 1859, was caught by Union authorities in possession of a large quantity of contraband liquor. Salzkotter argued that his in-laws had saddled him with the whiskey, but was nevertheless arrested and jailed. Upon his release, he divorced his wife, Cecilia Schwab.

Liquor wholesaling and other endeavors
At the end of the war in 1865, Dickel opened a liquor store on South College Street in Nashville. He had relocated to South Market Street (modern Second Avenue) by the following year. He hired Salzkotter as a superintendent, and Salzkotter's former brother-in-law, Victor Emmanuel Shwab (1847–1924), as a bookkeeper. Shwab, who had dropped the "c" from his surname in an attempt to Americanize it, would eventually marry Emma Banzer, a sister of Dickel's wife, Augusta.  In 1867, Dickel began blending whiskey, and was arrested and charged in federal court for rectifying liquor without a license.  In spite of these charges, Dickel's liquor retail continued to thrive.

By 1870, Dickel had established a liquor wholesaling firm, George A. Dickel and Company, which was headquartered at 2 North Market Street.  Typical of liquor wholesalers of the day, Dickel and Company purchased whiskey directly from distillers from around the region, and sold it in barrels, jugs and bottles.  The company also sold beer from Nashville-area brewers, including ales and lagers produced by South Nashville brewer Stifel and Pfeiffer, as well as wines and brandies.  The company was one of the first in Nashville to directly import liquor, including Scottish and Irish whiskeys, Dutch gin, and champagnes.  An 1875 advertisement described the company's specialties as "copper distilled sour mash whiskies" and imported champagnes, and noted the company shipped nationwide.

On March 17, 1874, a fire swept through Market Street, destroying the Dickel and Company headquarters, and just missing its large warehouse, which was filled with $60,000 worth of whiskey.  Another fire in May 1881 destroyed the warehouse, however, which represented for the company a $75,000 loss (though partially insured). In reporting on this second fire, one newspaper described Dickel as "the great whiskey dealer".  In 1882, Dickel and Company built a new five-story headquarters on Market Street.

While it's unknown when exactly Dickel and Company began distributing whiskey produced at the Cascade Hollow distillery near Tullahoma, there is no evidence to support the oft-told story that Dickel established the distillery while on a trip to the area in 1870.  John F. Brown and F.E. Cunningham were operating a distillery in the valley by 1879, when Brown sold his shares to Matthew Sims.  In 1883, McLin Davis became the Cascade operation's distiller, and instituted a number of innovations that greatly increased the whiskey's quality.  Shwab, who had become a full partner in Dickel and Company in 1881, purchased Sims's share of the distillery in 1888.  With this purchase, Dickel and Company became Cascade's sole distributor.

Along with his successful liquor enterprise, Dickel was engaged in a number of endeavors in Nashville. He lived just outside the city in a home on Dickerson Pike, where he operated a sizable pear orchard. He was also a volunteer fireman with Nashville's Deluge Company No. 3. Dickel became a Master Mason in 1852, and was a member of the Knights Templar.  He endorsed photographer and fellow German-American Carl Giers for the state legislature in 1874.

In 1886, Dickel was badly injured in a horse-riding accident, and never fully recovered.  His health declined rapidly during the last two years of his life, and he died on June 11, 1894.  He is interred in Nashville's Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Legacy
As Dickel's health declined, Shwab gradually took over Dickel and Company's daily operations.  Dickel's will left his share of the company to his wife, Augusta, with instructions to sell it at the first opportunity.  While she declined to sell, she took no active part in the company's operations, and spent her later years dividing her time between Nashville, her summer home in Charlevoix, Michigan, and annual trips to Europe.  Upon her death in 1916, she left her share of the company to Shwab.

As the distributor of the increasingly popular Cascade brand, Dickel and Company's name appeared on the Cascade label into the 20th century, when the operation was forced to close with the onset of prohibition.  In the late 1950s, Schenley Industries, which had bought the Cascade brand from Shwab's descendants, rebuilt the Cascade Hollow distillery, and renamed the brand "George Dickel".  A bust and monument to Dickel now stands outside the general store and visitors' center at the new distillery.

Dickel and Company's headquarters, built in 1882, still stands at 201–203 Second Avenue in Nashville.

title: Ignatius bar Wahib

text:
Ignatius bar Wahib (, ) was the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Mardin from 1293 until his death in 1333.

Biography
Joseph Badr al-Din Zakhi bar Wahib was born at Korinsha in the Tur Abdin in the 13th century, and was the son of Abraham. He was raised at Mardin, and became a monk at the nearby monastery of Saint Ananias. Patriarch Philoxenus I Nemrud consecrated bar Wahib as archbishop of Mardin in 1287, upon which he assumed the name Ignatius.

He was elected as the patriarch of Mardin at a synod at the monastery of Saint Ananias at the beginning of January 1293, and was consecrated by Ignatius, archbishop of Qartmin. In 1303 or 1304, he convened a synod at the monastery of Saint Ananias, in which he issued ten canons, and was attended by five bishops. He was credited with performing three miracles at Mardin that were reportedly recognised by both Christians and Muslims. Bar Wahib served as patriarch of Mardin until his death in 1333. As patriarch, Bar Wahib ordained twenty bishops.

Works
Bar Wahib wrote two books on Syriac and Arabic phonetics, and a liturgy in 1304. As well as this, he wrote a treatise on the definition of prayers and rituals.

title: Campbell Douglas

text:
Archibald Campbell Douglas (usually simply referred to as Campbell Douglas) (14 June 1828 – 14 April 1910) was a Scottish architect based primarily in Glasgow. He designed many churches in Glasgow and Edinburgh, especially those for the Free Church of Scotland.

He was three times President of the Glasgow Architectural Association and in 1891 was the Vice President of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

He was active in politics, and was a member of the Scottish Liberal Club, Glasgow Liberal Club and National Liberal Club (in London). He was also a Justice of the Peace in Argyllshire.

Early life
Douglas was born at Kilbarchan in 1828, the son of Janet Monteath and the Rev. Robert Douglas, minister in the parish of Kilbarchan in Renfrewshire.

He attended the University of Glasgow at the age of 13.

In 1842, he was articled to John Thomas Rochead, architect, who was based in Glasgow.

In 1843, together with his father, they left the established Church of Scotland and joined the Free Church, following the Disruption of that year. This led to many later commissions. After a time in England he set up his own practice in Glasgow in 1855. It seems he may have had an office in Fife, where his brother Robert Douglas was an iron founder and engineer.

Works

He came to early fame with the designs of Briggate Free Church in Glasgow and North Leith Free Church in Edinburgh. At this time he employed the talented draughtsman Bruce Jones Talbot.

In 1860 he took John James Stevenson (b.24 August 1831) into partnership and they set up office at 24 George Street in Edinburgh. This lasted until the death of Stevenson's father in 1866 at which point he inherited a large sum of money and drifted out of the profession.

From 1868 to his retiral in 1906 Douglas's principal office was in Glasgow where he and James Sellars  formed the architectural firm of Campbell Douglas & Sellars which expanded to include large commercial. educational and municipal projects. During this period employees included Charles Alfred Chastel de Boinville, a talented Anglo-French architect, who brought a European flavour to the designs. Douglas helped Colin Alexander McVean, a chief surveyor of Japan's Public Works, to build first technical school building, later Imperial College of Engineering.

In 1865, he married Elizabeth Menzies, the granddaughter of Alexander Cowan. This led to his commission to build the Cowan Institute, now known as Penicuik Town Hall, in Cowan's memory.

In 1903 he merged with the much younger Alexander Nisbet Paterson to create "Campbell Douglas & Paterson", probably to give more kudos to the blossoming young architect.

He died of bladder disease in 1910, aged 81, at his house 25 Braid Avenue, Edinburgh, leaving the then-substantial sum of over £8,000.

He was cremated and his ashes were buried in Morningside Cemetery against the south wall, towards the south-west corner. His wife Elizabeth Menzies (1837–1923) lies with him.

title: John Alexander Carfrae

text:
John Alexander Carfrae (1868–1947) was a Scottish architect of particular note in the field of innovative school design. He was considered one of the best architects of his generation, but his works were rather limited as he was constrained to the standard board school formats.

Life

Born in Edinburgh the son of Thomas Carfrae, a civil engineer. He was the younger brother of George Somervil Carfae, also a civil engineer. The family lived at 9 Osborne Terrace in Edinburgh's West End. He was educated at James Gillespie's High School.

Carfrae was articled in 1881 to Robert Wilson, architect for the Edinburgh School Board. In 1889 he moved to London to be an assistant to Arthur Cawston, but transferred to HM Office of Works to work under Henry Tanner. In June 1892 Carfrae returned to Edinburgh to work in Sydney Mitchell and Robert Wilson's practice. Six months later, Carfrae became Wilson's principal assistant and he took over most design work.

When Robert Wilson died in 1901, Carfrae inherited both his office and the full role as architect to the Edinburgh School Board. In 1918 local government practices changed, and the City Architect became responsible for school design, resulting in Carfrae losing his practice. However, the city architect Ebenezer James MacRae still passed him two commissions: for Balgreen and Stenhouse schools.

From 1907 until death he lived in Polwarth, Edinburgh, at 3 Gillsland Road. He lived here with his wife, Augusta Wilkes Henderson, and their two sons. Carfrae retired completely in 1939. He died on 11 July 1947.

Works
Carfrae worked largely for the Edinburgh School Board. Even before he completely took control of this design function, his style is clear, acting as Chief Assistant within the office.

title: Iván Calero

text:
Iván Calero Ruiz (born 21 April 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays as either a right back or a right winger for FC Cartagena.

He began his career at Atlético Madrid, playing in its third and second teams before joining Derby County in 2014. He had two years at the English club, and spent a short loan at Burton Albion. Calero has represented Spain internationally, up to under-19 level.

Club career

Atlético Madrid
Born in Parla in the Community of Madrid, Calero graduated from local Atlético Madrid's youth system, and made his senior debut with the C-team in the 2011–12 campaign, in Tercera División. He appeared regularly in the following season, also making his senior debut with the reserves in Segunda División B on 9 September 2012, replacing Pedro Martín after 60 minutes of a 1–3 loss at CD Leganés.

On 20 February 2013 Calero was called up to the main squad by manager Diego Simeone for a UEFA Europa League match against Rubin Kazan. However, he remained unused in the eventual 1–0 away win.

On 19 May 2013, in only his second match with the reserves, Calero scored his first senior goal, netting the last of a 4–1 win at Rayo Vallecano B. He was definitely promoted to the B-team in the 2013 summer, and scored four goals in 29 matches in 2013–14.

Derby County
In July 2014, Calero went to Championship club Derby County, and signed a two-year deal with the Rams on 18 July. Manager Steve McLaren said "He's a young player with excellent pedigree. We are really pleased that he sees his future at Derby County."

Calero played his first match as a professional on 26 August, replacing Simon Dawkins for the last 20 minutes of a League Cup victory over Charlton Athletic at Pride Park, netting the game's only goal in the 87th minute. On 14 September he played in the league for the first time, replacing John Eustace for the final 13 minutes of a 1–1 draw away to rivals Nottingham Forest.

After spending time training there, Calero was loaned to nearby League Two club Burton Albion for a month on 2 February 2015. He was signed by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, whom he had watched play for Atlético Madrid in 1999–2000, and said "He was a big hero because of his goals. He's one of the reasons I came...I can learn many things from him. It's a great opportunity for my development and to get some experience". Five days after signing he made his debut, replacing Adam McGurk for the last two minutes of a 3–1 win at Cheltenham Town. On 10 February he made his first start in his first match at the Pirelli Stadium, playing the first 64 minutes of a goalless draw against Wimbledon before being replaced by Abdenasser El Khayati.

After Calero returned to Derby, Burton were promoted to League One at the end of the season as champions, while Derby missed out on the play-offs with a 0–3 home defeat to Reading on the last day.

After appearing on the bench only once in the 2015–16 season, Calero was one of five Derby youngsters released at the end of the campaign.

Sparta Rotterdam
On 2 June 2016 Calero signed a two-year contract with Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam.

Elche
On 8 July 2017, Calero signed for Elche CF in the third division. On 27 July of the following year, after achieving promotion to Segunda División, he was loaned to fellow third division side Salamanca CF for one year.

title: La Route impériale

text:
La Route impériale ("the imperial road") is a 1935 French film directed by Marcel L'Herbier. It combines a romantic drama with a military adventure story, set against the contemporary background of British operations against a rebellion in the kingdom of Iraq.

Plot
In the Kingdom of Iraq in 1935, British troops are stationed to protect the convoy route to India from rebel incursions. After spending three years in under-cover activities in the region, Lieutenant Brent, a British officer, has fallen under suspicion of treacherous dealings with the enemy but has been cleared by a military tribunal. He joins the garrison in Iraq commanded by Colonel Stark, but is embarrassed to meet there his former lover, Joyce, who is now the colonel's wife. During an operation to recapture the rebel stronghold of Ksour, Brent is inadvertently compromised with Joyce, and when he and her brother Dan attempt to protect her reputation, Brent becomes suspected of treason by the cynical Major Hudson. Brent escapes during a rebel attack, and using his experience to infiltrate the enemy fortress he disables its armaments and facilitates its capture.

 Jean Forest, as Lieutenant Drake

Production
The subject of the film was proposed to Marcel L'Herbier by the producer Pierre O'Connell, of Film Union. It came as part of a wave of enthusiasm for colonial adventures on film, such as The Lives of a Bengal Lancer and La Bandera. The play from which the film was adapted was La Maison cernée by Pierre Frondaie, written in 1919 and staged in Paris soon afterwards; it was a romantic melodrama set in Palestine during World War I. L'Herbier revised the plot, renamed the characters, and relocated the story to Iraq in 1935, where the recently independent kingdom was still under British influence, with British troops stationed in the country.

Filming took place in May and June 1935, at the Billancourt studios in France and in Algeria at Bou Saâda and Boghari for exterior scenes. At Bordj El Kiffan, on the outskirts of Algiers, they used the remains of a film set built for Julien Duvivier's biblical film Golgotha; it now served to represent the rebel fortress of Ksour and was blown up in the final scenes of the film.

L'Herbier's assistant director was Ève Francis who had previously worked on many films with him both as actress and assistant. The music for the film was composed by Marius-François Gaillard who had written the orchestral score for L'Herbier's silent film El Dorado. Another regular collaborator with the director was the costume designer Jacques Manuel, who created several elegant gowns to be worn by the leading actress Kate de Nagy (introducing an element of luxury and glamour in the stark setting of an army garrison in the desert).

Reception
The film was released in September 1935 and had some commercial success. It was shown in various countries across Europe and in Quebec. Critical responses were generally favourable, but there was some adverse comment among French reviewers that it should not be the business of the French to make films which glorified the British Empire. It was also noted that the film held echoes of another contemporary conflict in the developing Abyssinia crisis and its implications for British control of the Suez Canal zone.

The film's later survival was threatened when the original negative was burned by the German occupying forces in 1940. After the war, a surviving interpositive copy was discovered, from which further prints could be made.  A digital restoration of the film was made in 2014.

text:
Robert Mahealani Ming Seto (born Robert Ming Seto in 1936) is a law professor, and a former judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims from 1982 to 1987.

Born in Canton, China, Seto received a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from Saint Louis University in 1962, and a Juris Doctor from the Saint Louis University School of Law in 1968. He later received an LL.M. in Government Contract Law from the George Washington University Law School.

Seto was an assistant circuit attorney for the Felony Division of St. Louis, Missouri from 1968 to 1969, then became patent counsel to Monsanto Chemical Co. from 1969 to 1970, and deputy corporation counsel in the Division of Legal Memorandums and Opinions for the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, from 1970 to 1971. Seto then held several staff positions in the United States Senate, serving as  Republican Minority Counsel to the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging from 1971 to 1973, then as legislative counsel to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary in 1974, and then chief patent counsel to U.S. Sen. Hiram Fong of Hawaii, for the Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights, U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, from 1975 to 1976.

Seto was a senior patent litigation attorney for the United States International Trade Commission from 1976 to 1981. He became a trial judge of the United States Court of Claims in 1981, and on October 1, 1982 he was elevated by operation of law to a new seat on the United States Court of Federal Claims authorized by 96 Stat. 27. He resigned on June 20, 1987, to become an administrative judge for the Board of Contract Appeals of the United States Department of Agriculture, a position he held until 1998. Since 1998, Seto has been a professor at Regent University School of Law.

In 2005, Seto "suffered a debilitating stroke that impaired him both physically and emotionally". In a disciplinary action in 2011, Seto agreed to be voluntarily suspended from practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office for four years for misconduct in connection with the practice of his son, Jeffrey. The settlement stipulated that Seto had "assisted his son in the unauthorized practice of patent and trademark law while his son was employed as a patent examiner at the Office", a position that precluded the son from practicing before the office. Seto was reciprocally suspended from practice by the Supreme Court of Hawaii on January 5, 2012, and by the Supreme Court of the United States on April 30, 2012.
