title: Douglas Isaac Busch

text:
Douglas Busch (born 1951) is an American photographer, inventor, teacher, and architectural designer known for using the world's largest portable view cameras and negatives to produce the world's largest photographic contact prints. His photography encompasses an array of subjects, including landscapes, cityscapes, nudes, portraits, and color, and is in the collections of major institutions such as the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Busch's imaginative architectural work and drought-tolerant landscape designs have attracted celebrity clientele and have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Robb Report, Western Interiors and Design, Open House, and Distinctive Homes. His dedication to the principles of healthy design and sustainable building practices led him to launch pH Living: Healthy Housing Systems, with the goal of providing homes for people who suffer from environmental allergies and chemical sensitivities. He also developed a vertical herb and vegetable production system called Farm in a Box.

Early life and education
Busch was born in Miami Beach, Florida, to Jewish parents William Goldworn and Enid Gottlieb Goldworn. He was a photographer for his high school newspaper. At the University of Illinois, he majored in cinematography, photography, and graphic design; served as president of the photo-cine co-op; and participated in a newly created independent study program.

Career
After graduating from the University of Illinois in 1970, Busch moved to Carmel, California, where he worked as an assistant to Morley Baer and Al Weber. He assisted Ansel Adams on Portfolio VI, washing prints. He assisted his mentor, Al Weber, on workshops throughout the Four Corners area.

Busch took a job with Finlay Enterprises, a division of Seligman and Latz. He worked in the diamond department and then was promoted to assistant to the fine jewelry department before being placed in the Globe Store in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he ran the leased fine jewelry department. He received his diamond degree in 1973 from the Gemological Institute of America, and moved to Rockford, Illinois, to work in the family jewelry business, Busch Jewelers.

Busch published his first photography portfolio, Portfolio I, in 1974. In 1986, he left the jewelry business to pursue photography and established De Golden Busch Inc., a design and manufacturing company of SuperLarge™ cameras, lenses, film holders, print washers, and accessories. Over the next 50 years, Busch worked on numerous photographic series.

In the 1980s, he taught at the Victor School in Victor, Colorado, and produced the Victor Portfolio of ten 12x20" photographic contact prints, the Denver Portfolio, and the North Central IL Portfolio. His work was exhibited at the Rockford Art Museum, the Fallen Angels Project, and 510 E. State Street Gallery.

Busch moved to Los Angeles in 1992. That year, he produced his first book, "In Plain Sight," which received an award for the best book of the year from a small publisher. In 1994, he returned to the University of Illinois for one year of postgraduate study of photography, during which produced the Farmlands Project. During this time Busch traveled throughout the United States and Europe, partaking in visiting artist programs, teaching workshops, and lecturing.

Busch and his wife, Lori, started the No-Strings Foundation, a 501(c)(3) grant-making organization based in Malibu, California, in May 2005. Its primary mission was to provide direct financial support to individual photographers in the United States.

Busch began to design and build houses in the mid-2000s. He has completed over 30 projects to date. In 2009, he started ecoTECH Design Studio to design and build sustainable architecture and landscapes, to educate the public through the creation of the ecoPARK "Greenposium," and to design and build sustainable low-carbon products to reduce waste and grow food.

In 2011, Busch started pH Living: Healthy Housing Systems. Working with Lawrence Gust, a certified building biologist and chairman of the board of bau-Biologie and Ecology USA, Busch developed a healthy housing system for people who suffer from environmental allergies and chemical sensitivities and as a healthier alternative for people in general. He spoke at Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne’s international Ninth Annual Forum of the In2:InThinking Network in April 2010 on the importance of saving our planet for our children and future generations.

The R65s  are New York City Subway work service cars built around 1989 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan. They are similar-looking to the R62 and R62A passenger cars and built to IRT specifications, but can be found on either division. They are numbered PC01–PC03 and used to pump out water from flooded tunnels and open cut areas. Unlike their revenue service counterparts, the R65s cannot move under their own power; they are always propelled by diesel locomotives.

title: Daniele D'Anza

text:
Daniele D'Anza (20 April 1922 – 12 April 1984) was an Italian director, playwright and screenwriter.

Life and career
Born in Milan, D'Anza started his career on stage, in which he is best known for the direction of the antimilitarist play Venticinque metri di fango that he presented in Milan in 1946 raising several controversities as well as critical appreciation. Another of his works, the rivista  Tempo di musica, a satire of Italian history from the 19030s to the 1950s, was heavily censored, being first banned and later allowed only after having received heavy cuts.

He is regarded as a pioneer of Italian television, for which he worked since the early 1950s, when RAI started experimental broadcasting before starting the regular TV service. He directed several successful TV-series, in particular Il segno del comando (1971) and L'amaro caso della Baronessa di Carini (1976).  His last work, the TV miniseries La ragazza dell'addio was broadcast on RAI posthumously, two months after his dead. He was also active on films, notably working on the screenplay of Michelangelo Antonioni's Story of a Love Affair (1950).

Personal life
D'Anza was first married to Edith Malanesan, a British woman, and they had a daughter, Cristina. The couple separated (divorce not yet existing in Italy) in 1950 and in 1967 he was prosecuted for concubinage with the actress Luisella Boni, with whom he had had a second daughter, Vittoria Michaela.

text:
Arch Street is a major east-west street in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Location
Arch Street runs from the Delaware River one way westbound through Old City, where landmarks include the Arch Street Friends Meeting House, the Betsy Ross House, Girard Fountain Park, the U.S. Mint, and Christ Church Burial Ground. It crosses Independence Mall at 5th and 6th Streets, and traverses Philadelphia's Chinatown neighborhood.

The tourist areas around Logan Square and the museum district are just north of Arch Street, which ends just east of the Schuylkill River at 23rd Street. West of the river, there is a block of Arch Street between 30th Street Station and Cira Centre. Arch Street also runs eastbound one-way from 49th Street to 63rd Street.

History
The street was called Mulberry Street in William Penn's original city grid, but it was renamed Arch in 1854. Other parts of the street were once called Holme and Tioga streets.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Arch from 6th to 11th Streets was known as Radio Row, after its extensive number of electronic goods stores.

title: Causal layered analysis

text:
Causal layered analysis (CLA) is a technique used in strategic planning, futures studies and foresight to more effectively shape the future. The technique was pioneered by Sohail Inayatullah, a Pakistani-Australian futures studies researcher.

Theory

Causal layered analysis works by identifying many different levels, and attempting to make synchronized changes at all levels to create a coherent new future. Inayatullah's original paper as well as his TEDx talk identify four levels:

 The litany: This includes quantitative trends, often exaggerated and used for political purposes. The result could be a feeling of apathy, helplessness, or projected action. Inayatullah calls this "the conventional level of futures research which can readily create a politics of fear."
 Social causes, including economic, cultural, political, and historical factors.
 Structure and the discourse that legitimizes and supports the structure.
 Metaphor and myth

History of research

CLA was first introduced explicitly as a futures research technique by Sohail Inayatullah in a 1998 article for Futures that would come to be widely cited. Later, Inayatullah would edit the CLA Reader, that featured chapters from a number of futurists and practitioners describing their experience with CLA.

Inayatullah's work on CLA was examined in a book by Jose W. Ramos in 2003.

A 2008 article by Chris Riedy examined the similarities, differences, and possible combinations of CLA and Ken Wilber's integral theory.

A 2010 article by Gary P. Hampson explored the relationship between integral futures and CLA further, and also considered Richard Slaughter's critique of CLA.

Sohail Inayatullah and Ivana Milojevic have published an update in 2015. With various authors, they investigate topics such as:
 The Global Financial Crisis
 Terrorism futures
 Global governance
 Ageing and the changing workforce
 Educational and university futures
 Climate change
 Water futures in the Muslim world
 The alternative futures of China
 Agricultural policy in Australia
 The new national narrative in Singapore

title: Thank You a Lot

text:
Thank You a Lot is a 2014 American drama film directed by Matt Muir. Set in Austin, Texas, the film stars Blake DeLong as a struggling music manager who is forced to sign his estranged father, country music singer James Hand (played by the eponymous country musician).

The film premiered at the 2014 South by Southwest Film Festival as part of the Narrative Spotlight Section.

Plot
Jack Hand (Blake DeLong) is a  hustling music manager of a hip-hop artist and an indie rock band. Jack’s  estranged musician father, James Hand, is a respected but reclusive songwriter living and working in  Austin. Jack is pressured by his management company to sign his musician father to a deal or lose his job there.

Cast

Background and production
Muir began writing the script for actor and long-time friend Blake DeLong. After seeing James Hand perform in Austin, Muir said he decided to base a character on him:
 With the script completed, Muir reached out to Hand, who agreed to play the fictionalized version of himself.
Principal photography took place over eighteen days in August, 2012, after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Most of the film was shot in and around Austin, Texas, and features appearances by various locals, including David Wingo, Andy Langer, Sam Wainwright Douglas, and Zell Miller III. All musical performances  were captured live.

Release and reception
The film has screened at South by Southwest Film Festival, Dallas International Film Festival and others, receiving mostly positive reviews. Austin Film Society-published site, Slackerwood, praised writer/director Muir and noted that DeLong and Hand had a chemistry that was "hilariously realistic". D Magazine and other outlets commended Hand on his performance despite a lack of acting experience. Truth On Cinema praised  first-time director Muir and the "immersive on screen experience" he delivered.

For his work on this and other films, producer Chris Ohlson received the Independent Spirit Piaget Producers Award.

With like-minded individuals and organizations as well as concerned government department and agencies, Poudyal played a key role in the Campaign.  The Campaign has already completed 170 weeks (by August 2016) and has been instrumental in raising public awareness and removing garbage from the holy river, pressing government for sewerage treatment plants, making gardens in the river banks  and plantation of trees.

title: Johnsonville Village, Connecticut

text:
Johnsonville Village, once a thriving mill community, then a Victorian Era tourist attraction, was an abandoned ghost town in East Haddam, Connecticut, United States. On July 7, 2017, the property was acquired by the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), an independent, nontrinitarian Christian denomination based in the Philippines.

Mill community
Harnessing power from the abundant water sources of the Moodus and Salmon rivers, the little hamlet became the center of twine production in Connecticut. The twine was primarily used for fishnets, and was sold on both coasts and the Great Lakes.

In 1832, the Neptune Mill was constructed beside a dam just north of the Salmon River Cove. The Card Company, as it was then known also made stocking yarn and carpet warp. New cord wrapping machines filled these mills and twine was produced on a massive scale. Over the years, the Neptune Mill expanded until it reached its 100x100 ft dimensions. Three stories tall, it was a massive edifice, architecturally resembling a church with its steeple and bell that would call workers into the factory each morning.

In 1862, Emory Johnson built the Triton Mill at the northern end of the Millpond; tenements and worker housing soon cropped up in the ensuing years, and Johnsonville was born. The Neptune Mill also came into Johnson's possession in 1867. The Triton Mill was destroyed in a fire in 1924.

One of the jewels of Johnsonville is the Emory Johnson homestead. Built in 1846, the four-bedroom house has three fireplaces, pillared porches, a formal garden and original Victorian-era details.

Tourist attraction
In 1965, Raymond Schmitt, the controversial owner of AGC Corporation, an aerospace equipment manufacturer, bought the Neptune Mill from the Johnson family. He also purchased other vintage buildings and had them moved to Johnsonville, including a Victorian stable and chapel, which hosted weddings.

Nostalgic for the bygone modes of transit of the 19th century, Schmitt brought a sternwheeler to Johnsonville in 1966. For many years, the boat was reported to be "The American" from the Freedomland U.S.A. theme park (1960-1964) in New York City. This has proven to be an error. Research by Freedomland historians discovered that the boat was the twin sternwheeler from Freedomland known as "The Canadian." Connecticut newspaper articles include pictures of "The Canadian" on the millpond. Schmitt bought it at auction and had it towed up the Connecticut River and then carried by truck to Moodus, where it would sit in the Johnson Millpond for more than thirty years. In 1972, the Neptune Mill was struck by lightning and burned to the ground.

In 1993, Billy Joel filmed part of his "River of Dreams" music video at the village.

Ghost town
In 1994, Schmitt got into a disagreement with local zoning officials and shut down the attraction, putting the property up for sale. Schmitt died in 1998, and his estate started selling off many of the antiques and other pieces of the property, including some of the buildings. Some suggest that the ghost of Schmitt roams the grounds of Johnsonville.

A hotel developer, MJABC LLC, bought the 64-acre property in 2001. In 2004, MJABC filed plans for a mixed-use development on the site that included 133 upscale, single-family houses and townhouses, all built in Victorian style and with an age restriction for owners, and for keeping and restoring most of the original dozen or so buildings. That proposal fell apart, however, because the housing component was deemed too high-density. As of October 2014, MJABC LLC still owned the property and continued to pay taxes on it. As of April 2013, Chozick Realty, Inc. of Hartford had listed the village for just under $3 million.

The village, which has now fallen into disrepair, was featured in an episode of the National Geographic TV series Abandoned.
The village went up for sale at an online auction on 28 October 2014. The winning bid was US$1.9 million on October 30, 2014, but the deal fell through. On July 7, 2017, the Philippine-based independent Christian Church, Iglesia ni Cristo bought the village for $1.85 million.

title: Frederico Fischer

text:
Frederico Fischer (born 6 January 1917) is a Brazilian athlete. He is the current Masters M95 world record holder in the 100 metres.

Early life
Fischer was born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo on 6 January 1917. He was of German ancestry, with his father moving to Brazil in 1909, becoming successful in selling prepared meats. His older brother was born in Germany (and lived to almost 100 years old). Fischer also has a sister who, as of the last report, was still alive at age 99 in 2012.  During World War I his family was ostracized when Brazil joined the war, causing a move to Jaguariaíva where his father drowned in the river.  Frederico grew up in Pompeia, São Paulo, taking care of the family while his mother worked in a factory.  As he got older he played football as a goalie with the club in Santo Amaro and rode bicycles.  When his brother built a boat, he joined and took up sailing joining the Club de Regatas Tietê.  Frederico got his first job in a pig iron factory at age 15, but studied to be an accountant which became his career.

Athletics
In his mid 20s he drifted into the sport of Athletics, became the regional champion in the 400 metres hurdles and decathlon, chasing the records of Sylvio de Magalhães Padilha training two to three times a week.  But when he asked for time off work to compete at a higher level, his boss gave him the ultimatum, "You choose, your enjoyment or your job," he chose his job.

He married his wife, Teresa in 1947.  She still supports his endeavors.  In that era, athletes were expected to stop playing sports by age 40, "because it was too dangerous for the heart."  But he remained active with his athletics club.  While working as a director of a ceramics factory in Mauá, his club sponsored a run for distance runners.  Frederico joined in.  Sitting in a car after the run he realized perspiration, getting the blood circulating, all of problems he wanted to solve became clearer.  He got more active.  His group was approached by a group from Chile led by Hernán Figueroa, who were trying to start a veteran athlete group.  Frederico joined in 1973, by 1975 he was president of the  Athletic Association Veterans of São Paulo.

Fischer began attending the World Masters Athletics Championships starting in 1979, in Hannover, Germany.  He says he has become addicted to the competition.  It was fourteen years later in Carolina, Puerto Rico when his gold medal haul started with five wins at 100 metres, 200 metres, 400 metres, shot put and discus. Fischer's last participation at the World Masters Athletics Championships was in 2015, at 98. He received worldwide media attention due to the 100 meters race in which he narrowly lost against his 96-year old rival Charles Eugster. He turned 100 in January 2017.

title: Nathif Jama Adam

text:
Nathif Jama Adam, EGH, (, ) is a Kenyan banker, writer and politician. Adam has served as the Governor of Garissa County since August 2022. He was initially elected to the position in March 2013 to become the pioneer Governor of Garissa County and served until 2017. After failing to win the 2017 elections, he was elected once again in August 2022. Prior to joining politics, he was the Managing Director of First Community Bank. He was also previously a Senior Vice President and the Head of Sharjah Islamic Bank's Investments & International Banking Division. He co-authored the first book on sukuk investments.

Career

Banking
Adam is an authority on the global Islamic financial industry. He has over two decades of work experience in the Islamic banking, diversified retail, wholesale and investment sectors.

He began his banking career with the Kenya Commercial Bank based in Nairobi. In 1985, Adam joined the Al Rajhi Banking & Investment Corporation in Saudi Arabia. He subsequently worked as an Executive Manager for the Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), where he oversaw QIB's sizable real estate, leasing, trade and securities foreign investment portfolios.

In 2002, Adam joined the National Bank of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. The bank was at the time in the midst of restructuring its services to focus on Islamic banking. Now known as the Sharjah Islamic Bank, Adam served as a Senior Vice President and the Head of its Investments & International Banking Division.

Adam later became the founding managing director of the First Community Bank (FCB) in Nairobi. He was also a member of its board of directors.

Besides executive duties, Adam is an author, frequently writing on Islamic banking and financial issues. He co-wrote the first book on sukuk investments, Islamic Bonds: Your Issuing, Structuring and Investing in Sukuk, published in 2004.

Additionally, Adam has served as a keynote speaker at various finance and Islamic banking conferences and seminars around the world. He also regularly undertakes training courses on different aspects of the industry.

Governorship
In 2013, Adam ran for Governor of Garissa County. He was elected to the position on 10 March on a Wiper Democratic Movement ticket. In February of the year, Adam also became a member of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy.

The High Court later upheld his election victory in September 2013. In April 2014, acting on a petition by two plaintiffs citing voting irregularities, the Court of Appeal issued a directive nullifying the result. The Supreme Court overturned the decision the following month, directed the court registrar to prevent the county's assembly speaker from occupying Adam's seat, and barred the IEBC from declaring the governorship vacant until Adam's appeal was heard and ruled within a two-month period. On 9 July, the Supreme Court officially reinstated Adam as Governor of Garissa County.

After failing to win the Garissa gubernatorial seat at the 2017 elections, Adam once again ran for Governor in 2022 on an Orange Democratic Movement ticket. He beat incumbent Governor Ali Korane and successfully recaptured the seat.

title: Pepe Julian Onziema

text:
Pepe Julian Onziema (born November 30, 1980) is a Ugandan LGBT rights and human rights defender and trans man.  He began his human rights work in 2003.  He has since participated in organizing LGBT pride celebrations in Uganda.

In 2014, Onziema formed a coalition of 55 Ugandan civil society organizations to protect LGBT rights in the country. That year, UK-based charity Stonewall named Onziema Hero of the Year.

Onziema is the Director of Programs at Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), an LGBTI advocacy organization. SMUG provides research, documentation, and evidence to advocate for policy change in Uganda. They also provide LGBT+ members with safety and protection from discriminatory hate crimes.

In 2012, he was named a Global Citizen by the Clinton Global Initiative for his work in human rights advocacy.

As of 2019, Onziema was arrested or detained seven times, incurring violence for which he lost hearing in his left ear and needed to be hospitalized.

Personal life
He was aware of his male gender by the age of 6, and began questioning more at the age of 9. By puberty, he expressed himself in ways that "affirmed [him] as a male person." Although he could have transitioned anywhere, he chose to stay in Uganda and transition there to affect the country's culture.

He came out in the 1990s, and his mother was supportive throughout his life, including his advocacy work.

As of 2020, he has found acceptance throughout his community, attending village elder meetings being embraced as "the son [he] truly [is]."

Morning Breeze interview
On December 18, 2012, he was invited on the Ugandan television show Morning Breeze hosted by Simon Kaggwa Njala, to join a debate about sexual minorities and their situation in Uganda.

The interview later turned into a wild dispute when pastor and anti-gay activist Martin Ssempa came into the show trying to discredit Onziema, with fruits and vegetables, while shouting in both English and Luganda over Njala. The interview itself was uploaded to the internet and became the subject of various internet memes, commonly titled "Why Are You Gay?"

Advocacy
In 2014, Onziema denounced a local tabloid list of "200 Top Homo" Ugandans, many of whom did not identify as gay. The tabloid was released just one day after the president enacted the Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014 that included life imprisonment. Onziema criticized the article for directly inciting hate crimes, such as violence and murder, against members of the LGBT community. One of these occurred to David Kato, his coworker in Sexual Minorities Uganda, who had been murdered following his publication in an article titled "Hang Them."

That year, Onziema "led a successful challenge of Uganda's infamous law that made homosexuality a crime punishable by death." He united 55 Ugandan civil society organizations including parents, educators, and caregivers to "form a coalition to fight the law." CBC Radio reported, "Six months after the bill was passed, Onziema's coalition scored a court victory, striking the law down on a technicality."

Awards and other media appearances
In 2013, Pepe was shortlisted for the David Kato Vision and Voice Award, an award in honour of his murdered friend and colleague, and fellow advocacy officer for Sexual Minorities Uganda, David Kato.

In 2014, he was interviewed by John Oliver on the American television series Last Week Tonight about the human rights situation for LGBT people in Uganda. Initially, Onziema was "very skeptical" and did not want to be on the show, as Onziema felt "done with media." However, Oliver made Onziema feel very comfortable and respected, particularly Oliver introducing Onziema as a trans man. The episode positively affected Onziema's reputation in Uganda, causing him to receive more support than before from locals.

In 2016, Onziema was one of multiple activists arrested at Uganda's 5th gay pride event in Kampala, Uganda. The police put Onziema in police custody and ordered other inmates to beat him up so severely that he had to be hospitalized, losing hearing in his left ear. Ugandan police claim no one was injured, while Onziema claims they are not listening to members of the community who remained as survivors or victims. He claims the police not only administer physical violence to members of the queer community, but also psychological trauma.

In Uganda Pride 2022, when asked how the week's events fit into the global struggle for LGBT equality, Onziema replied: Uganda has been named as one of the worst places to be gay, which means that all eyes are on Uganda. For us to celebrate our visibility [amidst all the hositality] is very important.Despite the hardships he faced in Ugandan prisons, Onziema has stated,I love this country to bits, and my work is to make it the kind of place that it really is. It's beautiful. It has beautiful people, and I'm just doing my ounce of something to preserve it for people who will come after me.

title: Amelia Robertson Hill

text:
Amelia Robertson Hill (15 January 1821 – 5 July 1904), birth record Emmilia McDermaid Paton, was a prominent Scottish artist and sculptor throughout the 19th century and one of the few with  public commissions. Her most noteworthy works are the statue of David Livingstone in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh and statue of Robert Burns in Dumfries. She was the main female contributor to the statues on the Scott Monument, contributing three figures.

Life
Hill was born in Wooer's Alley, Dunfermline, the daughter of Catherine McDiarmid (d. 1853) and Joseph Neil Paton (1797–1874), a damask designer. Her sister Jemima, born on 11 November 1823. Her brothers were artists Joseph Noel Paton (1821–1901) and Waller Hugh Paton (1828–1895). She appears to have trained as a sculptor under William Brodie in Edinburgh.

In 1862 she married the pioneer photographer David Octavius Hill. She was his second wife. They lived in Edinburgh. His role as secretary of the Royal Scottish Academy played a part in this. In 1861 they moved to George Square, and in 1863 to Calton Stairs. In 1868 they set up home at Rock House, on the south-west corner of Calton Hill near the southern entrance steps to the hill. Although they are famously connected with this address they lived here only two years. He died in 1870 and Amelia moved out of the house, to Newington Lodge. She placed a bronze bust of his likeness, sculpted by her own hands, on his grave.

The 1891 census describes Hill as "sculptor, retired" but she exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy until 1902, aged 82. She died at her house, Newington Lodge, 38 Mayfield Terrace on 5 July 1904 aged 83. She was buried next to her husband in Dean Cemetery, beneath her own sculpture of 34 years earlier.

Bicentenary
A walking tour of her Edinburgh works was instigated as 'The Amelia Tour' in her bicentenary year, 2021.

title: Raymond K. Shepardson

text:
Ray Shepardson (January 13, 1944 – April 14, 2014)  was a theatre restoration specialist and theatre operator credited by many with beginning the trend toward restoring old unused movie theaters into economic engines for their communities. He is the founder of the Playhouse Square association in Cleveland and is recognized as the visionary that helped motivate the creation of one of the nation's largest performing arts districts. He was involved in forty restorations throughout his career and operated several theaters after their restoration.

Notably, Shepardson was instrumental in saving the Chicago Theatre which was weeks away from the wrecking ball before he managed to work with others to develop a funding scenario that would save and restore the building. The grand re-opening featured Frank Sinatra singing My Kind of Town.

Shepardson was then called upon to oversee the largest restoration of his career; the 5000 seat Fox Theater in Detroit. The multimillion-dollar restoration was heralded as one of the anchors that revitalized the downtown area throughout the 1990s. A 2016 republican debate was held in the Fox, which is used in commercials and film because of its magnitude and opulence.

Shepardson was an avid photographer and photographed almost every stage of his later restorations. The Shepardson digital photo archive is currently under construction.

Shepardson's career as a theatre restoration specialist was almost an accident as the biography by John Vacha describes.  He is recognized as the father and founder of the  Playhouse Square Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, saving the four theaters in Cleveland's Playhouse Square from 1970 to 1979. Raised funds, planned and began renovations. Operated theaters and produced more than 2,000 performances. This effort merited many preservation, restoration and development awards. Currently second largest Performing Arts Center in the country presenting over 1,000 performances per year and attracting over 1,200,000 people annually.

In 2004 Shepardson was featured in the book Cleveland Classics, Great Stories from the north coast, for his work in saving Playhouse Square.

In 2012 he was awarded an honorary doctorate for his economic development efforts through theater restoration.

In 2013 he was awarded the Ohio Governor's Award for economic development.

title: Astroblepus chapmani

text:
Astroblepus chapmani is a species of catfish of the family Astroblepidae. It can be found in the Magdalena River in Colombia.

Although the patronym was not identified; Eigenmann mentioned a “Dr. F. M. Chapman” in a later (1942) publication, who was a traveling companion in South America; this may have been ornithologist Frank M. Chapman (1864-1945), American Museum of Natural History.

title: Jim Patton (brewer)

text:
Jim Patton (February 24, 1953—October 23, 2012) was an anthropologist and craft beer brewer.  He was considered one of the pioneers in the craft beer brewing industry.  He was one of the founders of the Abita Brewing Company in Abita Springs, Louisiana.  He also brewed beer for Key West Brewery and Wynwood Brewing in Miami, Florida

Patton's first career was as a cultural anthropologist.  He received a doctorate in the subject from Washington and Lee University.  His specialty was Andean agricultural economics.  Patton taught at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana and Xavier University of Louisiana.  He eventually quit those jobs to become a full-time brewer.

Patton co-founded the Abita Brewing Company in 1986.  The first Abita Beer debuted  on July 4 that same year in New Orleans and Mandeville, Louisiana.  Abita Brewing Company was the first craft brewery to open in the South.  Patton was instrumental in creating many of the recipes for the beers that Abita still produces today.

Patton sold his share in the Abita Brewing Company in 1997 and co-founded the Zea Rotisserie and Brewery where he was also the brewmaster.  Later, he would brew beer for Key West Brewery and Wynwood Brewery in Miami, Florida.  Patton was also interested in wine making and worked for wineries in California and Oregon.

Jim Patton died in Miami on October 23, 2012.
