title: Henry Wheeler (signalman)

text:
Henry Charles Edward Wheeler (29 July 1925 – 22 November 2004) was an English naval signalman during World War II.

Wheeler was born on 29 July 1925 in Bath, England, to Rose (née Snook) and Henry Arthur Wheeler, and was the eldest in a family of six. He was from Vernhan Grove in Bath, where his civilian role was as a tailor's assistant.

He joined the Royal Navy in 1943, and undertook his naval training at HMS Impregnable, a shore establishment at Plymouth. He went to France on 7 June 1944, the day after D-Day, and was later stationed in Rotterdam. While there, he began a romantic relationship with a Dutch woman, named Dine.

Shortly after the war's end, he appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs, on 24 November 1945, at the age of 20. He was chosen to appear as he was serving, as part of Naval Party 1745, on an unspecified "small island off the European coast" – the nearest thing available to a real castaway. His appearance came one week after that of film star Deborah Kerr. One of the recordings he selected was "If You Were the Only Girl (In the World)" sung by Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth, calling it "a song I find myself singing when I think about my girl [Dine]".

He married a Miss Denboer before 1947, outside the UK. They had two sons.

It was later revealed that the island on which Wheeler was serving was Norderney — one of the East Frisian Islands off the north coast of Germany, where the British Forces Network provided the live outside broadcast, via Hamburg.

He died on 22 November 2004 in Sodbury, South Gloucestershire. He was cremated at Westerleigh Crematorium.

title: Aldarháttur

text:
Aldarháttur ('signs of the times') is a seventeenth-century Icelandic poem by the famous poet and churchman Hallgrímur Pétursson. It is one of the first poetic examples of Icelanders regarding their medieval past as a golden age.

Origin

The poem was almost certainly composed in 1663, inspired by the Icelanders officially accepting the King of Denmark as their absolute monarch in 1662.

Form

The poem is hexametrical, written in leonine metre. It is the first example of the adaptation of this metre to Icelandic poetry, showing the influence of early modern humanism in Iceland. However, it also draws on the language of medieval Icelandic skaldic verse. Thus the poem combines Classical and indigenous traditions in a striking way.

Content

The poem is a polemic which compares the Iceland of Hallgrímur's own time with the Icelandic commonwealth (c. 930-1262, before Iceland came under foreign rule).

 In those days people were valiant, appreciated their freedom more than gold, and did not subit to oppression by threat. Here, Iceland's medieval past is for the first time glamorized in Icelandic poetry. The poet criticizes his own era for laziness, lack of solidarity, cowardice, and an unjust legal system.

Influence

The poem is the stated model for Bjarki Karlsson's 2013 heimsósómakvæði (lament on the state of the world), 'Þúsaldarháttur'.

title: Lyman S. Ayres

text:
Lyman Skinner Ayres I (September 4, 1824 – May 7, 1896) was the founder of  L. S. Ayres and Company, a regional department store chain whose flagship store and headquarters were located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The L. S. Ayres and Company name remained in use for 132 years.

Early life
Ayres was born on September 4, 1824, on a farm near Oswego, New York. He was one of six children born to Thomas Floyd and Marian Jones Ayres. (Thomas and his second wife had one child.) Lyman disliked farming and left home as a teenager to work as a peddler. He spent four to five years in Ashtabula, Lake, and Geauga counties in Ohio, and established a general store in Chardon, Ohio, with a business partner named John Murray.

Ayres met his first wife in Chardon, Ohio, but she died of consumption (tuberculosis) within a few months of their marriage. In 1862 Ayres married Maria Helen Murray, his business partner's sister. Ayres and his wife had three children: Frederick, Katherine, and Robert (died in infancy). The couple adopted Emma Murray, their niece, as an infant. She became known as Emma Murray Ayres.

L. S. Ayres and Company
Ayres sold his interest in the general store at Chardon in 1864 and moved to Geneva, New York, where he and his New York business partner, James G. Thomas, managed a dry goods business named Ayres and Thomas. In 1872 Ayres sold his interest in the firm and purchased controlling interest in the Trade Palace, an established dry goods store operated by N. R. Smith at 26–28 W. Washington Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. The store was renamed N. R. Smith and Ayres. James Thomas, Ayres's business partner in New York, acquired a 25 percent interest in the Indianapolis store. Ayres remained in New York for two years as the Indianapolis store's senior partner and its resident buyer. He took over active management of the Indianapolis store in 1874, when the store's name first appeared as L. S. Ayres and Company. Ayres and his family relocated to Indianapolis in 1875. The family lived at 656 N. Delaware Street and later moved to 1204 N. Delaware Street. Their second home was demolished in 1962 as part of the city's urban renewal efforts and highway construction projects.

In 1875, the Ayres department store was moved across the street to a larger three-story building at 33–37 W. Washington Street. Ayres became the sole proprietor of L. S. Ayres and Company in 1895, when Thomas retired from the business. Ayres was known for his generosity and friendliness to employees and customers. Under his management from 1874 to 1896, the store expanded its operations and the staff increased to 175 employees.

Death and legacy
Ayres died of chronic nephritis on May 7, 1896, in Indianapolis. The value of his estate at the time of his death was estimated at $600,000 to $700,000. He is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.

Before his death Ayres had begun to acquire property at the intersection of Washington and Meridian streets, where he intended to build a new store. Frederic M. Ayres took over the business following his father's death and completed construction of an eight-story building that opened in 1905. The Ayres family retained ownership of the department store after Frederic's death in 1940. Several family members served the business in executive positions. Theodore B. Griffith succeeded Frederic Ayres, his father-in law, as head of the company. Lyman S. Ayres II, Fredric's son and grandson of the store's founder, followed Griffith as president and later became chairman of the board. L. S. Ayres and Company was acquired by Associated Dry Goods in 1972. Lyman S. Ayres II retired the following year and the company was dissolved. Associated Dry Goods was acquired by The May Company in 1986, which merged with Federated Department Stores (now Macy's, Inc.) in 2005.

title: Blériot XXI

text:
The Blériot XXI was an early French aircraft built by Blériot Aéronautique.

Design
The aircraft was a shoulder-wing monoplane powered by a 52 kW (70 hp) Gnome Gamma 7-cylinder rotary engine driving a two-bladed propeller. The pilot and passenger were seated in side-by-side configuration: the control column was centrally mounted and there were two sets of rudder pedals, so that it could be flown from either seat. The shallow section rectangular fuselage tapered to a horizontal knife-edge at the tail, with the elongated triangular horizontal stabiliser mounted in the middle, its covering blending into that of the upper and lower fuselage surface. A semi-elliptical elevator was mounted on the trailing edge, and a triangular balanced rudder was mounted above the rear fuselage. Lateral control was effected by wing-warping, the wires leading to a single inverted V-strut cabane above the fuselage and a similar V strut beneath. Petrol was stored in three tanks: a pair of gravity tanks were located under the top decking in front of the cockpit, pressure-fed from a larger tank under the seats.

The undercarriage was a variant of the well-proved pattern used on the Blériot XI, with the wheels mounted on a trailing arm free to slide up and down and sprung  by bungee cords.  Unlike that of the Blériot XI, the main vertical members terminated in a crossbar below the fuselage rather than one attached to the upper longerons, and it was also braced by a pair of diagonal struts either side, the front pair leading to the front of the upper longerons and forming the front of the raked engine cowling. The tailskid was made of two U-shaped pieces of rattan cane.

A Type XXI was one of the two Blériot designs entered for the 1912 British Military Aeroplane Competition.

title: 1872 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1872 State of the Union Address was given by Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th United States president, on December 2, 1872. He did not speak it to the 42nd United States Congress, because that was the custom at the time. He said, "In transmitting to you this my fourth annual message it is with thankfulness to the Giver of All Good that as a nation we have been blessed for the past year with peace at home, peace abroad, and a general prosperity vouchsafed to but few peoples."   It was given during the Reconstruction Era, when African Americans were freed.

title: Bhanja virus

text:
The Bhanja virus is a tick-borne virus first discovered in a tick (Haemaphysalis intermedia) taken from a paralyzed goat in Bhanjanagar, India in 1954. Bhanja virus in humans was first documented in 1974 when Charles Calisher was working with the virus in a lab and contracted it himself. His experience with the virus was mild and included symptoms of mild aching in muscles and joints, moderate headache, slight photophobia. The Bhanja virus is a member of the Bhanja virus serocomplex and is a member of the Bunyavirales order.

Transmission
The Bhanja virus is transmitted from ticks and has furthermore mainly been isolated from the ticks of the genera Dermacentor and Haemaphysalis, although it can be transmitted by any Ixodidae ticks. Bhanja virus is not known to be transmitted between humans.

Hosts
The Bhanja virus has been found in vertebrate animals, most commonly in sheep, goats, cattle, African hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris), and African ground squirrels (Xerus erythropus). It has been known to be pathogenic in small animals and children and can also affect adult humans.

Symptoms
The Bhanja virus produces febrile illness in humans with symptoms including photophobia, vomiting, meningoencephalitis, and slight or partial paralysis.

Treatment
Treatment is dependent upon the severity of the symptoms.  Due to viral infections not responding to antibiotics, treatment is mainly to reduce the signs and symptoms; for which acetaminophen is suggested.

Prevention
Prevention is that of any tick bite, avoid excessive foliage and bushy areas. If you do come in contact with these areas, wear long sleeves and pants to cover as much skin as possible. Be specifically careful in areas used to graze or feed goats or sheep.

Location
The Bhanja virus has been isolated in Europe, including: Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Eastern Slovakia, in Asia, including: India, Kirghizia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia and in Africa, including Senegal, Guinea, Nigeria, Cameroon, Central Africa, Kenya, Somali. There is a possibility that migratory birds play a role in spreading the virus by carrying infected ticks on them to new regions.

title: Frank Kingston Smith Sr.

text:
Frank Kingston Smith Sr. (1919-2003) was a criminal attorney in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but is best known as the author of several books and articles on aviation. His first book, Week-end Pilot, helped to bring the joys of flying to the attention of the general public.  His eldest son, Frank Kingston Smith is a well-known radio personality and is an aviation enthusiast himself.

Career

Early career
After serving in World War II in naval intelligence and on a P.T. Boat, Smith graduated from law school, became a criminal trial attorney and later, a partner in a Philadelphia law firm. Smith used the joys of flying as a way to relax from the stresses of his job.  Although Smith gave up law in 1965 to become the executive director of the National Aviation Trades Association (NATA), he returned to law ten years later specializing in aviation matters for a Washington, D.C. law firm.

Pilot
His first airplane lesson was on June 2, 1955 at Wings Field located in suburban Northwest Philadelphia. Smith was an instrument as well as multi-engine rated pilot with over 10,000 hours of flight time.  He finally gave up flying in 1995.

Author
Smith was the author of several books and articles on general aviation.  His first book, Week-end Pilot, was published in 1957.  Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Smith wrote a column for Flying Magazine as well as articles for AOPA Pilot and Sports Aviation.

As a writer, his output was prolific, writing a total of 16 books and well over 1,000 articles.

Personal life and Death
Smith is survived by three sons, Frank, Doug and Greg, all of whom are pilots.  He was married to Marianne (née Hiller) until his death in 2003 of Alzheimer's disease. At his request, Smith's ashes were spread over Wings Field exactly 50 years to the day after he had his first airplane lesson.

Lawyer-Pilots Bar Association
In 1959, Smith was one of nine lawyers to sign the articles of incorporation to create the Aviation Lawyer-Pilots Bar Association, a New Jersey non-profit corporation dedicated to bringing together lawyers who also happen to be pilots. This association still exists.

title: Maine State Route 220

text:
State Route 220 (SR 220) is a state highway located in central coastal Maine.  It begins at State Route 97 in Friendship on the Atlantic coast and runs for  north to Palmyra, where it ends at State Route 11 and State Route 100.  SR 220 runs through a series of small towns, with connecting routes leading to larger population centers such as Augusta, Waterville, and Bangor to the east and west.

Route description
SR 220 begins in Friendship at SR 97 (Shipyard Road) and Harbor Road, near the southern tip of the mainland at Friendship Harbor.  This intersection is also the southern terminus of SR 97.  SR 220 proceeds north along the western coast until reaching the town of Waldoboro in Lincoln County, where it enters the town center before turning northeast and crossing US 1.  Continuing north, SR 220 enters the town of Washington (re-entering Knox County) and intersects with SR 126 and SR 17 before reaching the center of town.  In downtown Washington, SR 105 joins SR 220 and the two routes head north out of town.

The highways cross into the town of Liberty in Waldo County, where SR 105 splits off to the southeast after a  concurrency.  SR 220 continues northeast until meeting SR 173 near Saint George Lake, then turns northwest to cross SR 3 at Clark's Corner.  The highway continues north through the town of Montville, crosses SR 137 in western Knox, and intersects with SR 139 in western Thorndike.  SR 139 and SR 220 are cosigned for  into the town of Unity, where SR 139 splits off just east of the town center.  SR 220 intersects with US 202 / SR 9 at Unity Pond and turns north onto Bangor Road forming a three-route concurrency for .  The road enters the town of Troy and SR 220 splits off to the north, turning briefly east before returning to a northerly heading.

SR 220 enters the town of Detroit in Somerset County and has a brief  with SR 69 in the downtown area, splitting just after crossing the East Branch Sebasticook River.  SR 220 continues northwest, crosses into the town of Palmyra and immediately terminates at SR 11 / SR 100 (Hurd's Corner).

History
As originally designated in 1929, SR 220 ran from US 1 in Warren southwest to Friendship, then turned north and followed its modern routing as far as SR 139 in Thorndike.  In the 1930s, the route was extended to SR 9 in Unity, then again through Troy and Detroit to its modern terminus at Hurd's Corner in Palmyra, to a total length of .

The southernmost portion of the route between Warren and Waldoboro formed a "V" shape, and was potentially confusing in that a motorist traveling north on SR 220 from Warren to Friendship was actually driving southwest, and vice versa.  This was remedied in 1949 when SR 220 was truncated to Friendship at the southern tip of the "V," cutting  from its length.  The eastern leg of the "V" was redesignated as SR 97 and directional banners changed to reflect the actual direction of travel.  The alignment of SR 220 has not changed since.

title: Immigration Wars

text:
Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution is a 2013 non-fiction book about immigration in the United States co-written by Jeb Bush, who served as the governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007, and Clint Bolick, who serves as the vice president of litigation at the Goldwater Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.

Background
The book was co-written by Jeb Bush and Clint Bolick. Bush is the son of the 41st president of the United States, George H. W. Bush and the brother of the 43rd president of the United States, George W. Bush. He served as the governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. He is the founder and chairman of the Foundation for Florida's Future, a conservative think tank, and chairman of Foundation for Excellence in Education. Bolick is an attorney, former Libertarian candidate, and founder of the Institute for Justice, a libertarian public-interest law firm. He serves as the vice president of litigation at the Goldwater Institute, another conservative think tank in Phoenix, Arizona.

The book was announced in the fall of 2012 and released in March 2013 by Simon & Schuster.

Content
The book starts with a preface written by Jeb Bush, followed by another preface written by Clint Bolick. In his, Bush reminds the reader that the issue of immigration is close to home for him, as his wife, Columba Bush, was born in Mexico. Bolick, on the other hand, explains that he often had to deal with immigration cases as an attorney.

Chapter 1, 'A Proposal for Immigration Reform,' lays out a new vision for immigration policy, including encouraging a demand-driven system as opposed to national quotas, and teaching civics to new immigrants.
 Chapter 2, 'The Immigration Imperative,' argues that immigration is a positive good for the United States.
 Chapter 3, 'The Rule of Law.' talks about the necessity to enforce the law to legal immigrants.
 Chapter 4, 'An Enduring Debate,' presents a history of discrimination against immigrants to the United States, from the Germans to the Chinese.
 Chapter 5, 'The Human Dimension,' presents seven biographical sketches of immigrants who have lived the American Dream.
 Finally, Chapter 6, 'Immigration and Education,' is on education and immigration, and they champion charter schools and digital education.

The book ends with a "post-script", 'Postscript: A Prescription for Republicans.' It presents some advice to presidential candidate Mitt Romney, counseling him to be more pro-immigration.

Promotional efforts
On March 04, 2013, Bush and Bolick gave a question-and-answer session about the book at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank in New York City. They were introduced by Daniel Henninger, the Deputy Editorial Page Editor at The Wall Street Journal. The co-authors were also scheduled to appear at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, D.C., on March 06, 2013, but their engagement was canceled due to "inclement weather." Later that month, Bush presented the book at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.  The talk was broadcast on C-SPAN's Book TV five times in March and April 2013. In November 2013, Bush talked about the book at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side in New York City.

Critical reception
Critical reception of the book in the press was mixed and at times controversial.

Prior to its release date, the Huffington Post published a review of the book written by a journalist who had read the book, suggesting Bush supported "self-deportation" even though he had derided presidential candidate Mitt Romney for it in his 2012 campaign. In an update added to the review, former Romney advisers suggested this had been unfair on Romney, but Bush retorted that this was a misunderstanding of his views on letting undocumented immigrants return to their home countries and apply for citizenship there; he added that it was not present in the book. Writing for the Miami Herald, Marc Caputo suggested this might have been a marketing ploy for Bush to attract more readers. In the National Review, Reihan Salam suggested Bush's idea bore "close resemblance to" the ideas of Peter Skerry, a professor of political science at Boston College and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and expressed his approval of the notion, adding that its implementation may prove difficult. However, Peter Skerry, in his review for The Weekly Standard, did not acknowledge this. Instead, he argued that they misunderstood a study by the Brookings Institution they use as a citation on the burden that immigrants impose on welfare programs. He added that it would be preferable to train low-skilled workers already on U.S. soil rather than bring in new ones, both for skilled and unskilled work.

Writing for The Washington Post, Manuel Roig-Franzia suggested Bush had flipflopped on immigration. Indeed, he writes that Bush supported the DREAM Act in 2002 while he takes a more conservative stance in the book. However, Roig-Franzia, who is bylined as the author of The Rise of Marco Rubio, notes that Bush and Marco Rubio, a Republican senator from Florida, are both potential contenders for the 2016 presidential election. In a review for The New Republic, Nate Cohn argued that the book presented an immigration policy unlikely to appeal to Hispanic voters. In The Wall Street Journal, Vincent J. Cannato, a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts Boston, wrote that it was "about as sensible a look at immigration policy as one will find these days". However, he added that the co-authors failed to give precise answers about specific "caps or yearly quotas". Moreover, he argued that their disavowal of family reunification in favor of skilled migrants would appear unattractive to Hispanic voters. In the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, John F. Rohe of the anti-immigration Colcom Foundation agreed with Cannato that Bush and Bolick failed to give specific quotas for legal immigration. He went on to argue their pro-immigration stance would lead to "resource depletion," including "more water shortages, sprawl, farmland intrusion, wetland losses, biodiversity casualties, gridlock, toxins, energy demands, health care challenges and social safety net gaps," among other things. In a scathing review for The Guardian, Michael Wolff wrote that it was "a book without real thought, or information, or meaning, besides self-promotion, which exists only to provide a pretext to get the politician-author on television".

In another review published in The Washington Times, David DesRosiers, the former executive vice president of the Manhattan Institute and current publisher of RealClearPolitics, wrote that it was, "a must-read for every citizen, wannabe citizen, legal working resident and those illegally working in the shadows of our economy". Another glowing review came from Anneke Green of the White House Writers Group in June 2013, who argued in U.S. News & World Report that the United States Senate should be looking at Immigration Wars for solutions to immigration reform.

In July 2014, the co-authors published an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal about the children's immigration crisis, where many children from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have come into the United States territory illegally, highly solutions  found in Immigration Wars.

title: Ernest Lindner

text:
Ernst Friedrich Lindner  LL. D. (1 May 1897 – 4 November 1988) was an Austrian-born Canadian painter. He moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in 1926, where became a self-taught commercial artist. He soon was recognized locally and then nationally and was active in several art organizations. He is known for his meticulous watercolors of natural woodlands depicting the cycle of decay and regeneration.

Early years
Ernst Friedrich Lindner was born on 1 May 1897 in Vienna, Austria.
He was the thirteenth child of a German family. His father Karl Oswald Lindner (1844-1919)  ran a business that made stylish canes and parasol handles, and employed almost 300 craftsmen.
Ernst caught diphtheria as a child of seven, and drew and painted during his long convalescence.
During World War I (1914–1918) Lindner volunteered in 1915 to join a mountaineer regiment of the Austrian army.
He was wounded, but recovered and was back in service before the end of the war.
After the war he worked as a bank clerk in Innsbruck, Austria.
He also helped in the family firm  and engaged in a mineral water and sugar confectionery company with his brother Paul that failed.

1921 he married Hertha Liebenberger. One year later, their only son Herbert (1922-1995) was born. In order to collect money for his trip to Canada, he obtained expensive cameras per delivery note and cashed them in a pawn shop. His siblings had to buy the cameras back and return them to the camera shop. From the train window of a train departing to London, he informed his wife Hertha that he would not return. He boarded the ship "Melitta" from Antwerp to Canada, where he arrived with only $5 in his pocket.

Artistic career

In 1926 Lindner immigrated to Canada and settled in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
At first Lindner found work as a farm laborer.
He attended night classes at the University of Saskatchewan under Augustus Kenderdine.
He became a freelance commercial artist and illustrator, largely self-taught.
He had become recognized as an artist in Saskatchewan by 1931, and by 1933 was starting to exhibit in eastern Canada.
Lindner began to teach at the Saskatoon Technical Collegiate in 1931, first giving a night course and then became a full-time instructor.
He headed the Art Department at the Collegiate from 1936 until 1962.

Lindner was very active in the arts community.
He started a weekly discussion group called "Saturday Nights" that met in the private homes of local artists, often in his own home.
He was a member of the Prospectors, the first society of professional artists in the province.
He became president of the Saskatoon Art Association.
When the Federation of Canadian Artists was formed in 1941 Lindner was made responsible for the Saskatchewan region.
He was one of the first members of the Saskatchewan Arts Board.

It was through the influence of Lindner and Kenderdine that the University of Saskatchewan began to run its annual Emma Lake Artist's Workshops.
Lindner participated in these workshops in 1955–57, 1960–64 and 1966.
Some of the prominent Modernist painters of New York were guests at the Emma Lake Workshops in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and influenced Lindner's style.
The formalist Jules Olitski, known for his color-field abstractions, was a significant influence.
In 1959 Lindner returned to Vienna and attended the Akademie der Angewandten Kunst, where he took a master's course in etching and stone lithography.

In 1962 Lindner left the Technical Collegiate and devoted himself to art for the remainder of his life.
Ernest Lindner died in Saskatoon on 4 November 1988, aged 91.
The Ernest Lindner Park is the Erindale suburb of Saskatoon in named in his honor.

Work

Lindner is known for his many watercolors inspired by the natural beauty of the wooded country around his summer home at Emma Lake.
He also made etchings, lithographs, linocuts and wood block prints.
Lindner has been called a Late Modernist and also a Magic Realist.
Lindner depicted the forest floor from close quarters, with highly textured patterns of surface detail from the fallen branches, tree stumps, moss and lichen.
His work reveals a fascination with the natural cycle of decay and regeneration.
His watercolors of the tangled forest interior were sharply focused, highly keyed and executed with great skill.
In his later work human and plant forms often overlap and blend into each other.
Clement Greenberg conducted an Emma Lake Artists' Workshop in 1962 in which Lindner participated. Greenberg wrote in an introduction to an exhibition of Linder's work in Regina in 1962–63,

Lindner's work was widely exhibited in Canada and was also shown at the Canada House Gallery in London, England, and the Canadian Cultural centers in Paris and Brussels.
His work is held in many important public or private collections.
Examples are held in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Glenbow Museum in Calgary and the Winnipeg Art Gallery.
The University of Saskatchewan gave him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1972.
He was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1977.
In 1979 he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.

Studio

Lindner visited Emma Lake in the summer of 1935 and stayed at Murray point, the site of the University art school camp and later the location of the Emma Lake Artists’ Workshops. Just across the lake Lindner and his wife Bodil found a densely wooded uninhabited island that they called Fairy Island.
Lindner built a studio and summer cottage on the northeast shore of the island on what is now called Lindner Point.
The studio was a spruce log cabin. A large corner window facing northwest gave natural light. Lindner often sat there to paint views of the landscape.
Lindner  sold the property to the University of Saskatchewan in 1961. It has since been used as a base of researchers into the local botany, zoology and limnology.
From April 2007 the studio, surrounded by a  mixed wood forest, has been recognized as a Provincial Heritage Property.

Personal life
His first marriage in Austria with Hertha Liebenberger lasted from 1921 to 1936. Neither she nor their son Herbert (1922-1995) wanted to come to Canada on Lindner's several invitations.

1937 he married his student Bodil Brostrom von Degen (born 1911 in Denmark)  and had a daughter Degen, born in 1943. They divorced in 1952. During his stay in Vienna 1959 he was accompanied by his daughter Degen.

He was not interested in his two grandsons Michael and Andreas (from his son Herbert) and declined their wish to visit him in Saskatoon in the 1970s. His daughter Degen has two children, his grandchildren.

title: Peder Vognsen

text:
Peder Vognsen (died 11 April 1204) was bishop of the Diocese of Aarhus from 1191 until his death in 1204. He belonged to the nobility as a member of the Hvide clan and was related to Archbishop Absalon (his mother's cousin). He used his extensive private means to found Aarhus Cathedral. He established several prebends for the cathedral which were authorized by Pope Celestine III in 1197 and confirmed by Pope Innocent III in 1198. From the deed of his donation to the cathedral in 1203, it can be seen he owned a large estate in Zealand including four churches. Peder Vognsen is entombed in Aarhus Cathedral. He is commemorated by a black marble slab in the chancel.

title: Polvorín de Miraflores

text:
The Polvorín de Miraflores is an 18th-century structure in San Juan, Puerto Rico, specifically in the island of Miraflores, that served as an ammunition storage place for the Spanish military. The site was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its historic importance.

History

The Polvorín was built on orders of Field Marshal Alejandro O'Reilly, who visited the island in 1765 to gauge the status of the island defenses on a request of King Charles III. Among O'Reilly's recommendations was the construction of five ammunition storage (or polvorín) to support the other artillery structures on the island. Some accounts state the specific construction date as 1770 and others as 1776.

When the Spanish–American War ended in 1898, United States took control of the island. From that time until the 1930s, the Polvorín de Miraflores was used as a quarantine station under the administration of the United States Public Health Service. Ship passengers and immigrants were inspected here and, if necessary, were isolated from the population.

Since the 1940s, the building was repurposed as a chapel for the Isla Grande Naval Base. As a result, some changes were made to the structure, like the replacement of the chimney with a bell tower. The structure was then renamed Santa Bárbara Chapel.

When the Naval Base closed in 1971, the structure was handed to the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. During this time, it was used as the setting for the San Juan Ballets and the San Juan Children’s Choir. Since 1984, it became part of the National Register of Historic Places.

Eventually, the building was taken by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works and the property was used for the storage of vehicles. With time, the property became abandoned and deteriorated. Recently, the structure was handed to the Convention Center District which prompted the removal of the abandoned vehicles from the property.

title: Covered Bridges Today

text:
Covered Bridges Today is a non-fiction book on the architecture of covered bridges in the United States. The book was written by Brenda Krekeler and published by Daring Books in 1989. Covered Bridges Today is a frequently cited source on the topic of covered bridges and serves as a record of numerous covered bridges that have since been dismantled or demolished since the book's publication. Krekeler's text includes 412 covered bridges in fourteen states with a complete record of all 142 covered bridges in Ohio during its writing in 1986 and 1987. The work has been utilized in numerous citations by later publications including Historic American Engineering Record surveys and New England's Covered Bridges: A Complete Guide, Indiana Covered Bridges and Covered Bridges in Virginia.

Background
Covered bridges are timber-truss bridges with a roof and siding which, in most covered bridges, create an almost complete enclosure. The purpose of the covering is to keep snow from accumulatingwinter snow accumulation could easily collapse a bridge, and the steep roof would tend to shed snow to either side. As of 2014, the United States has more than 800 extant covered bridges with more than 10,000 lost and historical bridges recorded by the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges.  Krekeler became interested in studying covered bridges, their lore and their history, while in college. Krekeler obtained her master's degree in Historical Geography from the University of Cincinnati.

Contents
Covered Bridges Today provides information on 412 bridges in the states of Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. The book is geographically focused on Krekeler's home state of Ohio and includes all 142 remaining covered bridges in the state at the time of writing. However, the book is not a complete inventory of each state's extant bridges. When it was written, 76 of an estimated 228 Pennsylvania's bridges were included, 68 of Indiana's 98 covered bridges, and 43 of Vermont's estimated 100 bridges were also featured. Krekeler's use of estimations stems from the facts that covered bridges are lost periodically and that the bridges detailed include those restored or in immediate danger of collapse. Within a year of the publication of the book, 30 bridges were lost. Known bridges in states that are not in the listing are not named or cited. For example, West Virginia had 17 remaining bridges at time of publication, but the book only covers 10 of them.

The book includes detailed information on each state's historic bridges before providing an individual listing of surveyed bridges. Each entry includes a description of the bridge, its history, a black and white photograph, and a local street map with directions. Interspersed throughout the book is a collection of color photographs ranging from a full page to a quarter page in size. Krekeler states that construction dates prior to 1850 are often questionable because of an absence of records and that these early sources would often contradict one another. Krekeler's bibliography cites an extensive collection of state maps, numerous local newspaper sources and works like World Guide to Covered Bridges by Richard Donovan. The information and sources used are cited at the end of each entry listing in the book, directly following the directions to the bridge. The book does not contain a typical index and instead favors a listing of bridges after the introduction of the state. The book was published in 1989 by Daring Books.

Impact
Larry Hart's review of the work focused on Krekeler's basic explanation of the various types of covered bridges from the early 1800s to the 1920s and the historical facts and trivia contained within about the distribution and surviving covered bridges. Hart recounts the claim that it is the "only complete pictorial study of covered bridges in the United States". Though Hart's review incorporates much of the book's text, Hart shares an affinity for covered bridges and relates to the destroyed Batchellerville Bridge. Krekeler writes that she wished the Batchellerville Bridge had been preserved instead of being torched. Dr. Roger A. McCain notes that Krekeler's book "includes a number of states with pictorial coverage, including some really exquisite color photographs. It is not comprehensive in most cases[,] but is especially strong for Ohio and Indiana. Pennsylvania bridges are pretty extensively documented in[.]" Paul Grondahl refers to the book as an "encyclopedic, definitive work" in an article in the Times Union. Historic American Engineering Record surveys have cited Krekeler's work numerous times, ranging from the estimations of the surviving truss types of covered bridges to more general and unspecific references. Covered Bridges Today has been cited by later books on the subject of covered bridges including New England's Covered Bridges: A Complete Guide, Indiana Covered Bridges and Covered Bridges in Virginia.

title: Golf book

text:
The Golf Book (British Library Add MS 24098) is the common name for an illuminated manuscript Book of Hours in the Use of Rome dating from the 1540s. Only 23 pages remain of the original created by the illuminator Simon Bening and his studio in Bruges. It owes its popular name to one illustration in the calendar, with people playing a game resembling that of golf. It is presumed to have been made for a Swiss patron as the book includes a miniature painting of St Boniface of Lausanne.

Description
The extant folios of the Golf Book are decorated with 21 full-page miniatures and a number of smaller paintings. In its current state the book opens with a page belonging to the suffrages of the saints, which depicts a bishop, probably St Boniface of Lausanne. The next section (folios 2v–17v) features fragments of the Little Office of the Virgin illustrated with the cycle of the Passion of Christ. The main miniatures are influenced by a series of engravings of a Passion attributed to the Master of the Gardens of Love.

 Matins: Agony in the Garden
 Lauds: Kiss of Judas
 Prime: Christ brought before Pilate
 Terce: Flagellation
 Sext: Jesus nailed to the cross
 None: Crucifixion
 Vespers: Deposition
 Compline: Burial of Jesus

The last section (folios 18v–30r) features the calendar. The representation of each month covers two facing pages, with a full-page illustration on the left-hand page showing the occupations of the months.

At present, the extant folios of the book are in the wrong order; the suffrages of the saints and the Office of the Virgin are placed before the calendar.

title: Ella Austin Orphanage

text:
Ella Austin Orphanage is an orphanage in San Antonio, Texas.  It grew out of the home of Ella and Edward Austin, moved to larger premises, and became established in 1897. As well as serving children in need it became a hub for local community and philanthropic endeavors. It closed in 1968, but the Ella Austin Community Center continues to honor her legacy.

Ella Austin
Born in Ohio on February 17, 1856, Ella Stephens married Edward Austin, a man from South Carolina, in Washington, Ohio on June 29, 1879. However, by 1890 Ella and Edward had moved to San Antonio and opened their West side home to children in need.  By 1897 they had taken in so many children that their home officially became an orphanage.  Eventually the overcrowded conditions led to the purchase of a two-story structure on the East Side at 1920 Burnet Street.

Orphanage
From the very beginning the orphanage developed as a center point of community involvement and support. Within the first years of Ella Austin’s Orphanage the Progressive Women’s Club, a leading black philanthropic organization in San Antonio, became involved as caretakers and fundraisers.  Members of this organization describe how Mrs. Austin founded the Progressive Women as a group that would support philanthropic endeavors in the community, particularly the work of the children’s home. Their work paved the way for the continuation of the orphanage even after Ella Austin died as a result of heart disease on November 5, 1902. She was 46 years old.

Despite Mrs. Austin’s death her vision lived on through the support the orphanage received from the community. In the years that followed, the Progressive Women worked to develop the shelter, among other things providing blankets and food.  During this time, the home’s physical structure began to deteriorate and community members began to worry about the building. In response, the Progressive Women’s Club began a fundraiser to raise money for the necessary renovations.  Unfortunately, as a San Antonio Light article described, the fears about the building proved well-founded when the orphanage became damaged by a fire in 1932.  After the fire, the Club increased their efforts and led a community wide drive to raise funds for a new building.  Soon the money was raised and a new orphanage was built, becoming a day center for community seniors in addition to remaining a home for orphans.

Accounts of the orphanage describe how the home was known as a safe place with good care. Parents would even pay a bit of money to leave their children at the home when they traveled out of the city, demonstrating not only the trust the community placed in this organization but high standards of Ella Austin’s orphanage. The orphanage continued to serve the community providing both orphan care and facilities for senior activities until its closing in 1968.

Continuing legacy
Soon after the orphanage closed, in order to meet new and changing needs of the neighborhood, the Ella Austin Community Center was opened November 1, 1968, at the same location on Burnet Street. Although now in a different location, today the community center continues to honor the legacy of Ella Austin and her orphanage by serving San Antonio. In recent years Ella Austin Community Center has been the site of numerous activities and programs that offer resources to the surrounding neighborhood and the entire city. As  continues to grow the agency seeks to build off of the historical significance of Mrs. Ella Austin’s orphanage while remaining an important source of social services for San Antonio.

title: Jonathan Falconbridge Kelly

text:
Jonathan Falconbridge Kelley (August 14, 1817 - July 21, 1855?) was an American journalist and humorist.  He published under a number of pseudonyms, including "Falconbridge", "Jack Humphries", "O.K.", "Cerro Gordo", and "J.F.K."

Kelley was born in Philadelphia in 1817, and later moved west.  He started to publish humorous pieces as "Falconbridge" in Spirit of the Times newspaper, and which proved to be popular, in 1844.  A posthumous collection of his work containing 111 of his sketches, The Humors of Falconbridge, was published in November 1856.  He also wrote a biography of comedic actor Dan Marble in 1851, and briefly published a comedic journal in Boston called The Aurora Borealis.  He also had brief attachments to a number of other newspapers.  His body of work is largely forgotten today.

Kelley died perhaps of cholera in Cincinnati in 1855 and buried at Spring Grove Cemetery.

The lightweight boxing competition at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland was held from 26 July to 2 August at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. Lightweights were limited to those boxers weighing less than 60 kilograms (132.28 lbs).

Like all Commonwealth boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. Both semifinal losers were awarded bronze medals, so no boxers competed again after a loss. Bouts consisted of three rounds of three minutes each, with one-minute breaks between rounds. Punches scored only if the front of the glove made full contact with the front of the head or torso of the opponent. Five judges scored each bout; three of the judges had to signal a scoring punch within one second for the punch to score. The winner of the bout was the boxer who scored the most valid punches.

title: Roadkill Ghost Choir

text:
Roadkill Ghost Choir was an American alternative rock band from DeLand, Florida.

In January 2014, they performed on Late Night with David Letterman, and  had notable appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Governors Ball festivals. In August 2014, the band released their debut full-length album In Tongues, produced by Doug Boehm (Powderfinger, The Vines, Booker T. Jones).

Their sound was once described as "combining the experimental edge of Radiohead and the dusty roots-rock of Tom Petty, tailor-made for arena-sized, prog-rock festivals and grassy, pastoral stages alike."

Overview
Forming in 2011, the band released their debut EP, Quiet Light, in 2012. Self-released, the mastering and printing of the record was supported by a successful Kickstarter campaign. “Quiet Light” premiered on Consequence of Sound and received positive critical acclaim from outlets such as Absolute Punk and The Dropp. In January 2014 the band was invited to perform on Late Night with David Letterman, where they performed standout track “Beggar’s Guild.” They also were one of the bands handpicked to join the inaugural Communion Presents Tour Dates, an artist showcase curated by Mumford and Sons' Ben Lovett.

Their debut full-length album, In Tongues, was released 19 August 2014 to wide critical acclaim. Recorded in their home studio and produced by Doug Boehm, the album received exclusive streams on Consequence of Sound and Paste Magazine, as well as positive reviews from Rolling Stone, SPIN, Relix and In Your Speakers. Rolling Stone's Cady Drell noted that Andrew Shepard's vocals on the opening track "make him sound like the latter-day Tom Petty he's been pitched as”, and that "synths and roiling surf rock guitars illuminate fans' flattering comparisons of Shepard to My Morning Jacket's Jim James”. Similarly, Justin Jacobs of Relix magazine stated “Roadkill Ghost Choir hit the sweet spot between Mumford & Sons’ power-folk and My Morning Jacket’s passionate post-Southern rock.”

The band split in May 2019, playing a farewell show at the Caledonia Lounge in Athens, Georgia.

Touring
The band toured with Band of Horses performing opening slots in 2013, and were featured at Austin City Limits, New York's Governors Ball and Shaky Knees. 2014 saw festival inclusions at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Electric Forest and SXSW, among others. They also joined the inaugural Communion Presents tour, alongside Willy Mason, Yacht Club DJs and Rubblebucket, stopping at nine cities in one month.

title: She Must Be Seeing Things

text:
She Must Be Seeing Things is a 1987 lesbian feminist film directed by Sheila McLaughlin and starring Lois Weaver and Sheila Dabney. It was the film debut of both Lois Weaver and Peggy Shaw. It was controversial when first released.

Plot

The film focuses on the relationship between filmmaker Jo (Lois Weaver) and her girlfriend, lawyer Agatha (Sheila Dabney). While tidying the books and papers in Jo's flat, Agatha finds suggestive photos of Jo and her former (male) lovers. She also finds a diary, with more photos and pages about men that Jo has known in the past. Agatha becomes suspicious that Jo is seeing a man as well as her, and even appears to follow her.

The film is ambiguous about whether Agatha is imagining events, or whether there really are things going on that she must be seeing. Despite the strains of an arduous filming schedule for Jo's low-budget film, they are happily reconciled by the end, although  the issue of whether Agatha was imagining things is apparently left unresolved. Jo's film-within-a-film involves the life of Catalina de Erauso (c. 1592–1650), a semi-legendary personality from 17th century Spain. Catalina was given a special dispensation by Pope Urban VII to live, work and dress as a man.

The Catalina story to some extent mirrors the butch-femme aspect of Jo and Agatha's relationship.

Cast
 Lois Weaver as Jo
 Sheila Dabney as Agatha
 Kyle deCamp as Catalina

 Ed Bowes as Richard
 Peggy Shaw as Jewelry Saleswoman

Critical reception
The film has elicited a wide range or responses, from delight to revulsion and outrage.

Janet Maslin, writing in The New York Times, notes that "sexual jealousy is the main force at work ... but you'd never know it from the film's amiable, even dispassionate mood", and called it "a modest, agreeable and doubtless very personal film".

Teresa de Lauretis considers the film to be about "lesbian sexuality and its relations to fantasy". De Lauretis also notes the ambiguity inherent in the title: is she imagining things, or is it that she must be seeing things – are there things that she ought to be seeing?

Alison Darren's Lesbian Film Guide notes that it was a "deeply controversial film on release ... upset a wide section of the lesbian community by being a lesbian film largely concerned with heterosexuality ... dismissed outright by some as pornography".

title: Henry Wiggen

text:
Henry Wiggen was a fictional baseball player who was the subject of four novels by Mark Harris: The Southpaw (1953), Bang the Drum Slowly (1956), A Ticket for a Seamstitch (1957), and It Looked Like For Ever (1979). Wiggen, who was born on July 4, 1931 in Perkinsville, New York, joined the fictitious "New York Mammoths" in 1952 as a pitcher. His teammates nicknamed him "Author", because he was always writing.

Critical reception

The Columbia Daily Spectator has described Wiggen as having a "complex character", saying that he "epitomizes the American spirit of 'never say die,'" while Gerald Peary says that of all the fictional baseball players in American literature, Wiggen is the only one who "matters beyond the page" and "hangs on in the reader's thoughts, season after season;" he also notes Wiggen's propensity for malapropisms and poor grammar, comparing him to "Dizzy Dean with a typewriter".

Media portrayals

Henry Wiggen has been portrayed on television by Paul Newman (in the 1956 United States Steel Hour adaptation of  Bang the Drum Slowly), and on film by Michael Moriarty (in the 1973 film adaptation of the same novel).

It was then described in Curtis's Botanical Magazine 7097 in 1890 again by Mr Foster.

It was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 4 April 2003 and then updated on 2 December 2004.

Distribution and habitat
Iris boissieri is native to Europe.

Range
It was originally found in the Serra do Gerês (a mountain range in Portugal), Northwest Spain, within (Galicia).

Habitat
It likes to grows in rocky shallow soils, at an altitude of  above sea level.

Conservation
It was on the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants. It was listed on the European Red List of Vascular Plants in 2011 as Data Deficient (DD).

Very few plants (less than a 1000) were found in Spain in 2004 and less than a 10,000 plants were found in Portugal. Also these numbers were gradually going down as well.

Iris boissieri was listed on Annex IV of the Habitats Directive (of the European Union). It was therefore assessed as 'Critically Endangered'.

Cultivation
It is best grown in a bulb frame.

There is a specimen in the Kew herbarium, collected by Winkler in 1876.
There is also a specimen in the 'Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques' in Genève, collected in 1899.

Hybrids and cultivars
Emily Jean Stevens (1900–1967) was a hybridiser of Iris boissieri and Iris juncea in the 1950s.
