title: Julius Kahn (inventor)

text:
Julius Kahn  (March 8, 1874 – November 4, 1942) was an American engineer, industrialist, and manufacturer. He was the inventor of the Kahn system, a reinforced concrete engineering technique for building construction. The Kahn system, which he patented in 1903, was used worldwide for housing, factories, offices and industrial buildings. He formed his own company, Trussed Concrete Steel Company, as a manufacturing source for his inventions. He also founded United Steel Company and was chairman of Truscon Laboratories.

Early life and education
Kahn was born in Münstereifel, Germany, March 8, 1874. He immigrated to the United States with his family in 1880, entering at the port of Baltimore, Maryland, where they briefly lived.  They continued to Detroit, Michigan, where he was raised, along with five brothers and two sisters.

Their father Joseph (1860–1924) was a rabbi and ran a restaurant where Julius worked; he also sold newspapers. Mother Rosalie was skilled in music and art. Kahn's elementary education was in Detroit Public Schools. He completed the normal four-year high school curriculum in three years.

Kahn, assisted financially by his older brother, architect Albert, attended the University of Michigan. He received a Bachelor of Science and a degree in Civil Engineering in 1896.

Career

Reinforced concrete and Truscon
After graduating from the University of Michigan, Kahn began his career as an engineering draftsman for the Union Bridge Company of New York. He worked as an engineer for both the United States Navy and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1896 to 1903. Kahn also was employed by C. W. Hunt Company of New York. In 1900, Kahn moved to Japan for two years, laboring in engineering, construction, and maintenance of iron and sulfur mines.

Kahn returned to Detroit in 1903, joining Albert Kahn Associates, an architectural firm founded by his brother Albert in 1895. Kahn's first assignment was collaborating with key architect Ernest Wilby in Ann Arbor on the University of Michigan's new College of Engineering building. Kahn's focus was testing specific materials for sufficient strength in supporting the new building.

Kahn and Wilby wanted to use reinforced concrete for the building's floors, in place of traditional wood supports. Kahn had previous experience in reinforced concrete with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. During the construction of U.S. War College building in Washington, D.C., he initiated methods improving the then existing technology of reinforced concrete by beginning work developing the Kahn system of steel bars. This new concept for reinforced concrete steel bars was the basis of the steel production company he later founded.

Kahn understood the structural challenges inherent in the existing method of concrete reinforcement used at the end of the nineteenth century. The main problem was slippage of the steel within the hardened concrete, which weakened the structure. He experimented in his brother's basement, where he developed an improved type of reinforced beam called "the Kahn Bar". Kahn patented his invention in 1903, the first of more than 75 patents awarded to him.

The Jordahl (Jordahl GmbH) Company’s founders, Norwegian Anders Jordahl and his Swedish partner Ivar Kreuger, acquired the marketing rights to the Kahn system in Europe in 1907. Today, the company attributes the “… seeds of its founding …” to Albert and Julius Kahn’s passion for concrete. Kahn formed Trussed Concrete Steel Company (Truscon) to manufacture his beams. He was the president, but spent much of his time in the design room. The company was headquartered in Detroit, with manufacturing in Youngstown, Ohio. Kahn chose Youngstown in 1907 as the ideal location because the city's proximity to steel production in Mahoning County and reduced shipping costs.

Management
Kahn served as a director of the Mahoning Bank, the First National Bank, and Dollar Bank. In 1927, he was elected chairman of the Youngstown Chamber of Commerce grade elimination committee, and a director of the street car committee in 1928. He was the president of an eponymous realty firm in Detroit. In 1930, Kahn was honorary chairman of the Allied Jewish financial campaign. He was also a member of several committees in metal-related industries as well as a member of the proxy committee that opposed the merger of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company with Bethlehem Steel.

Kahn was the founder of United Steel Company in Wooster, Ohio and chairman of Truscon Laboratories in Detroit. He was president of Truscon Steel Company from its inception in 1905 until 1935, when it was taken over by Republic Steel Corporation. He then became a vice president for Republic, serving until 1939.

Writing and publishing
Kahn wrote several published articles on engineering and on the steel business. One article titled "Confidence and cooperation", discussed the ills of industry. Kahn was also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, which awarded him The Collingwood Prize for his paper "The Coal Hoists of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company" in 1889.

Inventions and impact

Kahn experimented and developed reinforced concrete construction materials, with at least 75 patented inventions in the field by 1934. His first patent was "Kahn Trussed Bar", also called "the Kahn Bar" or "Kahn Bar System", patented in 1903. The Kahn bar was a straight steel beam whose edges were slightly bent, resulting in improved stress distribution "wings" that increased tension strength. It was the principal product of the Trussed Concrete Steel Company, although the company manufactured many prefabricated steel products, as well as complete buildings — all used in construction around the world. Kahn's co-workers noted that he would stop whatever he was doing to write down an idea immediately, no matter what else was engaging him. Additionally he encouraged Truscon employees with financial incentives to develop new and improved ideas to benefit the company. For example, employee David H. Morgan was financially rewarded for inventing a new type of airplane hangar door, subsequently manufactured by Truscon.

The Kahn system of reinforced concrete was adapted by his brother Albert Kahn, an architect, for design and construction of industrial buildings. By 1939, Kahn's system was used in 134 U.S. cities and was adopted by builders in Africa, Europe, Canada, China, Brazil, and Mexico. The system was used in the first two automobile factories in the U.S., Packard and Cadillac, progenitors of the most prodigious industry of the 20th century. His unique engineering and construction method was also found in airplane plants, warehouses, docks, foundries, creameries, filtration plants, rubber factories, steel plants, silos, distilleries, smelters, and textile mills.

The steel-reinforced concrete automobile factory has been heralded as one of the architectural breakthroughs of the 20th century. Many named the 1905 Packard Motor Car Company’s building No. 10 in Detroit as the first edifice built for the largest and most swiftly growing industry in the early 1900s. Albert Kahn was the designer and architect for this use of the Kahn system in construction devoted entirely to the car. However, the first was actually the Cadillac Motor Car plant in Detroit. Ironically, Julius Kahn supervised the engineering and construction of both buildings, using his patented system to make essential contributions to the construction and automotive industries in the US.

There were two significant construction accidents in buildings using the Kahn system in the early 20th century. The first, in November 1906, occurred in Long Beach, California, when parts of the Bixby Hotel collapsed during construction. Also, that November, the Eastman Kodak Building in Rochester, New York, gave way. Investigations of both accidents found the quality of workmanship seriously at fault. Both queries came to the conclusion that the Kahn system was not to blame for either faulty design or errors; rather, poor construction techniques were responsible.

Trussed Concrete Steel Company manufactured a product with a brand name of Hy-Rib starting in 1909. It was a steel meshed sheathing with deep stiffening ribs. It was filled with cement or plaster and used for floors, walls, and ceilings of houses, factories, and commercial buildings. It was a product derived from the Kahn Trussed Bar for beams and columns of reinforced concrete. Hy-Rib products were also used in the construction of tunnels, conduits, flumes, culverts, silos, cisterns, chimneys, and water tanks. Its technology cut down on labor time in construction.

Personal life and death

Kahn married Margaret K. Kohut, daughter of rabbi Alexander Kohut, on December 23, 1903. Margaret was born in Hungary in 1876; later, her family immigrated to the US. The Kahns had three children: Gisela Kahn Gresser (1906–2000), Katherine Kay (1909–1954), and Julius Kahn Jr. (1912–2009), all born in Detroit. Kahn enjoyed a one-year retirement "to private life" in 1939. In 1940, he exited retirement and became an executive of another steel fabricating company. Kahn died at the age of 68 of pneumonia on November 4, 1942 in Cleveland, Ohio.

title: Lemurs' Park

text:
Lemurs' Park (also known locally as Parc de lémuriens à Madagascar) is a small botanical garden and lemur reserve covering , and is located  southwest of Antananarivo, Madagascar.  It was founded around 2000 by Laurent Amouric and Maxime Allorge.  Most of its nine lemur species are free-ranging within the park, which also contains more than 70 of Madagascar's endemic plant species.  The park is open to the public, offering guided tours as well as standard amenities, a gift shop, and a restaurant.  Visitors can arrange transportation between downtown Antananarivo and Lemurs' Park on a private park shuttle.

Most of the park's lemurs were confiscated pets, entrusted to the park by the Ministry of Water and Forests.  The lemurs are rehabilitated and bred for reintroduction into the wild.  The park also collaborates with Colas Madagascar and TOTAL Madagascar to provide environmental education to local primary school children and to plant native trees as part of a reforestation program.  Most of the park's staff come from the neighboring communities.

History
Established around 2000, Lemurs' Park is a private,  botanical park situated next to the Katsaoka River and between the villages of Fenoarivo and Imerintsiatosika,  southwest of Antananarivo along Route Nationale 1 (RN1) in the direction of Ampefy.  It functions as a lemur reserve that gradually reintroduces captive-born lemurs back into nature.  The park was founded by Laurent Amouric and Maxime Allorge, the grandson of Pierre Boiteau, Founding Director of the Tsimbazaza Zoo (Parc Botanique et Zoologique de Tsimbazaza) in Antananarivo.

Attractions

The park, which primarily consists of pine forest and bamboo vegetation, contains nearly 6,000 trees and more than 70 plant species endemic to Madagascar, all of which are segregated into separate climatic zones throughout the park.  Lemurs' Park also has a vivarium which houses chameleons, radiated tortoises, iguanas and other lizards.

The main attraction, for which the park is named, is its free-ranging lemurs.  Featured daily feeding times occur every two hours between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.  There are nine species, seven of which are active during the day (diurnal) and two are active at night (nocturnal).  Many of the lemurs are confiscated pets, and the staff work towards rehabilitating them for reintroduction into the wild.

Conservation
Confiscated pet lemurs are entrusted to Lemurs' Park by the Ministry of Water and Forests (Ministère des eaux et Forêts) for ex situ conservation.  This allows the urban population near Antananarivo to see free-ranging lemurs in a natural environment.  In addition to rehabilitation, Lemurs' Park has also successfully bred Coquerel's sifakas (Propithecus coquereli) since 2007.

Because many of these lemurs have become endangered as a result of deforestation in Madagascar, Lemurs' Park participates in a reforestation program supported by Colas Madagascar and Total Madagascar.  Between December 2008 and May 2013, approximately 37,163 students and 1,270 teachers from the public primary schools around Antananarivo have helped plant 170 native trees and participated in environmental education at Lemurs' Park.  For many of the children, this program has allowed them to see free-ranging lemurs for the first time.  In total, more than 11,000  trees have been planted as part of this collaborative project, including rosewood, Terminalia, and amontana as of May 2013.  Saplings of endemic plants, including baobabs, from the Madagascar spiny thickets in the southern part of the island have also been transported to the park and planted with the help of Colas.

According to the park, the partnership with Colas Madagascar and TOTAL Madagascar has also helped prevent layoffs of its staff during difficult economic times, over 90% of whom come from the surrounding communities.

Business details
Lemurs' Park (Parc de lémuriens à Madagascar) is open all year, seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., and the latest admission into the park is at 4:15 p.m.  As of March 2015, the admission price was 25,000 ariary for adults and 10,000 ariary for children ages 4–12, while admission for children under the age of 4 is free.  Entrance fees also cover a required tour with a park guide.  Stays are limited to 1 hour and 30 minutes.  The park provides standard amenities, and has a restaurant that requires 48-hour advance booking.  Between January and April, both the restaurant and gift shop are closed on Mondays.

Visits to the park do not require advance booking, although reservations are required to take the park's minibus from the heart of Antananarivo (Analakely) to the facility.  The cost of the shuttle includes the admission into the park.  The shuttle departs at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each day.

Lemurs' Park also has a liaison office in Antananarivo that is only open on Monday.

title: 1980 Turkish presidential election

text:
The 1980 Turkish presidential election refers to the unsuccessful elections to choose the country's seventh president, to succeed Fahri Korutürk. The first round of the elections held on 12 March 1980. There were 115 unsuccessful rounds until 12 September 1980. The elections ended with a coup d'état on that date.

History
The election agenda began as incumbent president Fahri Korutürk's 7-year term was to finish, in April 1980. According to the 1961 constitution, the winning candidate needed two thirds of the votes of the total members of parliament. Faik Türün was the Justice Party's (AP) candidate and Muhsin Batur was Republican People's Party's candidate; both were retired army generals. During the five and a half months of elections İhsan Sabri Çağlayangil, an AP member, was acting president. Neither of the candidates reached the 2/3 of votes required to become president. The last round was held on 11 September 1980, and the speaker of the parliament scheduled the next session for 12 September 1980 at 15:00 hours. The next session was called off because of the coup d'état.

title: Truscon Laboratories

text:
Truscon Laboratories was a research and development chemical laboratory of the Trussed Concrete Steel Company ("Truscon") of Detroit, Michigan. It made waterproofing liquid chemical products that went into or on cement and plaster. The products goals were to provide damp-proofing and waterproofing finishing for concrete and Truscon steel to guard against disintegrating action of water and air.

Description of water resistant products

From Truscon laboratories viewpoint waterproofing was considered methods and means of protecting underground construction like foundations and footings. It also pertains to structures intended for retaining water like water tanks and containing water under hydrostatic conditions like in water pipes, tunnels, reservoirs, and cisterns. Damp-proofing was considered the methods of keeping dampness out of the main part of concrete buildings. It involves the methods of treating exposed walls above ground level to avoid the entrance of moisture into the building. These definitions then qualified their various products as servicing particular needs.

From the initial idea of protecting against water damage developed the science of integral waterproofing—the introduction of some element into the wet cement during the process of making causing a high degree of impermeability and imperviousness. Water in masonry does harm structurally because of its solvent properties and because it expands when frozen breaking concrete. Water is observed into concrete walls like a sponge absorbs water through capillary action. A wet wall produces damp and clammy conditions that promote and spread disease. While structural damp-proofing and waterproofing to prevent decay was a motive of the Truscon laboratories chemicals, the side benefit was that it provided better hygienic conditions.

Some of the products developed for damp-proofing was Por-Seal, Stone-Tex, Stone-Backing, and Plaster Bond. Water Proofing Paste, an ingredient used in the making of stucco cement and plaster, was developed for waterproofing. Another waterproofing product was named Water Proofed Cement Stucco.

Surface protection products

Truscon laboratories waterproofing protection products were for residential housing, apartment buildings, office buildings, hotels, hospitals, and manufacturing plants. They involved enamels and interior finishes. The products were coatings to provide a dustless waterproof washable surface for cement floors and walls. The Truscon laboratories slogan was Waterproof is Weatherproof. Some of the brand names of these specialized products were Asepticote, Sno-Wite, Industrial Enamel, Hospital Enamel, Dairy Enamel, Floor Finish, Edelweiss and Alkali-Proof Wall Size. Its Asepticote waterproofing product was used in houses, hospitals, and hotels for its eye-soothing finish. Truscon's "Waterproofing Paste" was an integral part of cement and used in floors, plaster, and stucco to waterproof walls and floors. "Industrial White" was used in the interiors of mills and factories because of its white brightness qualities. Truscon's "Granatex Floor Varnish", a stain-resistant product, was a transparent waterproofing agent that was used on concrete and wood floors.

Truscon's Agatex was a chemical that hardened cement floors that was popular. It was a wet liquid that was applied on the surface of concrete like a paint or varnish. The product interacted with concrete and its dust chemically to resemble that of agate resulting in a hardened dustless surface when dry. The company claimed that the resultant treated surface was so hard that it would ring under a hammer like an anvil.

Truscon's "Stone-Tex" product was used on all kinds of masonry building exterior walls as a water-resistant protective coating. It was used on concrete blocks, cement walls, stucco and brick. It was also used for making the building more attractive looking.

Some of the thousands of Truscon laboratories product users were The Cincinnati Enquirer, American Tobacco Company, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Atlantic Petroleum, Haynes Automobile Company, Pennsylvania Railroad, E. W. Bliss Company, United States Military Academy, United States Marine Barracks, United States Shipping Board, Ferry-Morse Seed Company, Lowell Mills, Arlington Mills, H. J. Heinz Company, Dow Chemical laboratories, Winterhaven Citrus Growers' Association, Savage Arms, Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, Liggett-Myers Tobacco Company and Sinclair Oil Corporation. St Johns County School District on Fullerwood Grade School building.

Buildings that used Truscon's products were the Packard automobile factory plant building number 10, Highland Park Ford Plant, Fisher Building,  Fisher Body, Frederick Stearns Building, Youth's Companion Building, Midland Packing Building, Majestic Theater (Detroit, Michigan), Beech-Nut, Waco High School, Kalamazoo Paper, Detroit Crosstown Garage, Pennsylvania Rubber Company building, Minneapolis High School, Detroit Athletic Club, Detroit News building, and Milton Bradley building.

Iron and steel protection products
Truscon laboratories iron and steel protection products were for priming structural steel like in structures iron industrial building frames, factories, bridges, viaducts, stacks, and boilers. They were also used with brewing coils, ice making coils, fireproofing, and acid-proofing.  These paint on products were waterproofing and rust preventing agents. Many of these products went under the brand name of Bar-Ox and were given numbers that related to specific applications. Examples were Bar-Ox No. 7 for coating on exposed structural steel, Bar-Ox No. I4 for brine and condenser pipes, Bar-Ox 21 for stack enamel and boiler front enamel, Bar-Ox No. 28 for acid-proofing, Bar-Ox No. 35 for guarding against alkaline conditions, Bar-Ox No. 42 for conduit coating, and Bar-Ox No. 49 for gas holder tanks.

Labor relations
The Detroit operation's employees were organized by District 50 of the United Mine Workers.

title: Lloyd Rudolph

text:
Lloyd Irving Rudolph (November 1, 1927 – January 16, 2016) was an American political economist, political scientist, author, political thinker, educationist and the Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Chicago, known for his scholarship and writings on the India social and political milieu. The Government of India, in 2014, honored Lloyd Rudolph and his wife, Susanne Hoeber Rudolph, for their services to literature and education, by bestowing on them the third highest civilian award, the Padma Bhushan.

Biography

Lloyd Rudolph was born on November 1, 1927, to Norman Charles Rudolph and Bertha Margolin. He graduated with a BA in 1948 from Harvard University and continued at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government to secure his MPA in 1950. Six years later, in 1956, he obtained his PhD from Harvard University, itself, based on his thesis, The Meaning of Party: From the Politics of Status to the Politics of Opinion in Eighteenth Century England and America.

Rudolph joined the University of Chicago in 1964, where he served in various capacities for 34 years. He retired from the university and became professor emeritus in 2002.

Rudolph married Susanne Hoeber, his longtime friend, co-author and colleague, on July 19, 1952. The couple has three children, Jenny, Amelia and Matthew. The couple, after their retirement from the University of Chicago, alternates their residence in their homes in the US and  Jaipur, India, where they have found a home in Jaipur. He died from prostate cancer on January 16, 2016.

Career

Lloyd Rudolph started his career in 1948 when he was chosen as the group leader for a summer camp, Experiment in International Living, in France, which he attended once again in 1951. On his return from France, he enrolled as the research assistant to Bertram Gross, the executive director of Council of Economic Advisers, Executive Office of the President and worked there till 1949.

title: Aziz Ahmad (writer)

text:
Aziz Ahmad (11 November 1914 in Hyderabad, India – 16 December 1978 in Toronto, Canada) was a Pakistani-Canadian academic who worked as a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Toronto and is best known for his work in Islamic history with a focus on South Asia. In addition, he was a noted Urdu poet, novelist, translator, Iqbal scholar and literary critic.

Life
Aziz Ahmad was born on 11 Nov 1914 in Hyderabad, India. He was educated at the Osmania University, Hyderabad (BA, 1934) and in London (BA Honours, English Literature 1938). From 1938 to 1941, he was a lecturer in the Department of English at Osmania University. In 1941, he entered service for Princess Durr-e-Shahwar as her private secretary. From 1946 to 1948, he was a reader at Osmania University. He spent 9 years thereafter in Pakistan, working for the Department of Advertising, Films and Publications. From 1957 to 1962, he was employed by the London School of Oriental and African Studies as a teacher of Urdu. In 1962, he relocated to the University of Toronto first as an associate professor of Islamic Studies before becoming full professor in 1968. He died of cancer on 16 Dec 1978 in Toronto.

Works
Apart from Urdu, Ahmad spoke English, French, German, Arabic, Persian, Italian and Turkish fluently and focused on translation early in his career. Later he started writing short stories, of which he would publish five collections, and novels, authoring ten. He penned a number of non-fiction works about history and culture and two books of literary criticism.

Writing Style

The Canadian Encyclopedia notes that "Aziz Ahmad's writings, in general, have been very critical of the feudal system and of social injustices resulting in degrading, inhuman exploitation of the underprivileged, oppressed sectors of the society at large." Syed Ehtesham Hussain in Urdu Adab ki Tanqeedi Tareekh (1983) wrote, "Like his short stories, his novels are replete with hide-and-seek with the deity of sex. Almost all characters of his, are overwhelmed by libido. Undoubtedly, he is a master of the art of novel writing. Owing to his knowledge of many European languages, he has been influenced from better European literary styles but his biggest mistake is that he closes his eyes from life's other big issues while analyzing sexual life"

Significance
Ahmad is regarded as an important Urdu short-story writer and novelist. Histories of Urdu literature mention him as a famous and eminent writer of his time. However, Aazam Raahi in his book on Ahmad notes that he was not accorded the respect commensurate with his contributions. He writes, "Despite his extraordinary works in research, criticism and fiction, he was ignored by the critics and was not given the honour that he deserved" The Canadian Encyclopedia indicates that his 1946 critical assessment of the Progressive Writers Movement in Urdu, Taraqqi Pasand Adab, "is considered one of the few authentic books on the subject."

title: Herbert Cecil Potter

text:
Brigadier-General Herbert Cecil Potter,  (10 October 1875 – 11 June 1964) was a senior British military officer, 'Military Chief' of Belfast and Colonel Commandant of the 3rd Indian Infantry Brigade, Peshawar. A catalogue of Potter's papers described him as a 'quintessential member of the British officer class'.

Early life
Hebert Cecil Potter was born in Nagasaki in Japan on 10 October 1875, the son of Frederick Anthony Potter and Florence Bessie Marshall (née Higgins). He was educated at Bedford Modern School and Sandhurst.

Career
After Sandhurst, Potter joined the King's Liverpool Regiment as a second lieutenant on 29 February 1896, was promoted to lieutenant on 2 March 1899 and to captain on 5 December 1900. He was seconded for service in South Africa in November 1901, during the Second Boer War, and served there with a Mounted Infantry column. Staying in South Africa until after the end of the war in June 1902, he left Cape Town on the SS Orient in October that year.

He later served in Sudan (1908) and throughout World War I on the Western Front.

At the start of the war Potter was under no illusion about the task ahead writing to his mother on 16 August 1914 that he hoped 'to come home safe and sound from the war although many will not, very many.  The Germans seem to have gone mad and appear to wish to fight everyone at once'. Within a month of writing that letter he was 'temporarily out of action slightly wounded thro' both legs'.

Potter was again on active service at the Battle of the Somme, where he commanded the 9th Brigade, the Battle of Arras and the 3rd Battle of Ypres. He was twice wounded at the Somme in August 1916, the second time by a 'large shell which sat down beside me and made me stone deaf for some days'. At the end of the war, Potter expressed his joy of Allied Victory in a letter written to his wife dated 16 November 1918: 'We can scarcely realise yet what a wonderful victory God has given us. And it all came almost like a miracle. I've never waivered [sic] in my belief that God would not allow the Bosches to win'.

In February 1922, Potter was made 'Military Chief' in Belfast. On his appointment Potter commented: ‘My advent here was heralded by newspaper posters all over the place.  ‘’New Military Chief For Belfast’’.  I Crept past these as, I imagine, a murderer does past the posters of his crime!’ He was later Colonel Commandant, 3rd Infantry Brigade, Peshawar.

Potter retired from the army on full pay in 1927.

Awards and honours
Potter received the Queen's medal and three clasps in the Second Boer War (1901–02). He was awarded a medal and clasp, 4th Class Osmanieh, 3rd Class Mejidieh in Sudan (1908). During World War I Potter was mentioned in despatches, decorated with the Legion of Honour by Sir Douglas Haig in November 1915, made DSO in 1917 and CMG in 1918 . On the reason for his award of the Legion of Honour he wrote '…for trying to do my job, I suppose'.

Potter was made Companion Order of the Bath in 1927.

Family life
In 1913 at Temple Church, Bristol, Potter married Mary Kingston (née Griffith) who predeceased him. There was one son (Cecil) and two daughters (Eileen and Joan) from the marriage. Potter's brother, Frederick William Potter, was also born in Nagasaki and became Chief Engineer of the Shanghai Gas Company.

Potter died on 11 June 1964 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

The 10th (Magdeburg) Hussars Regiment () were a Prussian Light cavalry regiment of the IV Corps that was formed in late 1813 during the War of the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon after the Battle of Leipzig. The Hussars were a distinctively dressed light cavalry of East European origin. The 10th Hussars were stationed from 1814 to 1884 in Aschersleben and after 1884 in Stendal. They fought in 1866 at the Battle of Königgrätz and later in World War I.

History
This hussar regiment is first mentioned as the Volunteer Elbe National Hussars Regiment. On 25 May 1814, the regiment's former militia status was cancelled and it was designated the 10th Hussars Regiment (1 Magdeburg), also popularly referred to as the Green Hussars from Aschersleben, and transferred to active status in the Prussian Army.

The regiment was assigned to Aschersleben as a garrison.  At the time of the reform of the army under King William I on May 7, 1861, the regiment already held its final name of 10th (Magdeburg) Hussars Regiment, in German (Magdeburgisches Husaren Regiment Nr. 10). The regiment took part in the Battle of Königgrätz as part of the IV Corps of the First Army on 3 July 1866 when the Prussians defeated the Austrian Empire. Between 1866 and 1870, a fifth squadron was established. The regiment was relocated to Stendal in 1884, and in 1905 it could move into a newly built barracks.

Formation of the Elbe National Hussar Regiment

On October 17, 1813 Senior Inspector (Amtsrat) Breymann of Anhalt-Bernburg and other patriotic former Prussian officers submitted an appeal to King Friedrich Wilhelm III. They wanted to form a volunteer hussar regiment. On the 28 of October the officers gained the final approval of the king. By a Supreme Cabinet Order (Allerhöchste-Kabinetts-Ordre) (A.K.O.) the establishment of the regiment was ordered for 19 November 1813.

The uniform was determined by the military government of Halle/Saale. Each volunteer who joined the "Green Hussars" had to supply a horse to the regiment from his own resources. Those who could not had to pay at least 25 Thalers. Amtsrat Breymann put 20,000 talers at the disposal of the regiment.

The plan was a regiment consisting of four squadrons with 150 horses each. Three of these squadrons were to be organized in Aschersleben, and the fourth one in Salzwedel. These squadrons were also formed relatively quickly, since the Green Hussars had a brisk flow of recruits, so that after a short time the establishment of the unit was completed.

On November 25, 1813, 324 volunteers had already assembled, and at the end of year the Aschersleben squadrons were complete. Rittmeister Wilhelm von Breymann was appointed as interim commander. By a cabinet order of 20 February Major August Ludwig von Ledebur of the Garde du Corps was appointed regimental commander. At this time the regiment numbered 750 volunteers. After its complete outfitting with English arms, the regiment reported itself ready for action on April 1, 1814. A short time later it had already participated in the siege of Magdeburg.

1814

The newly formed regiment had its first test in the operation in front of Magdeburg. The regiment was organized into five squadrons of hussars and two of jägers. The two jäger squadrons found themselves in February 1814 along with other Prussian troops in front of the city, which was still held by the French.

In the morning of April 2, the French pushed back the two squadrons and the other outposts. The villages on the highway from Magdeburg to Halle were all occupied by French troops. Now more Prussian troops, among them the five Aschersleben hussar squadrons, were alerted. They managed to expel the French from the villages and take some prisoners. In addition, the Aschersleben squadrons took a share in the further siege of Magdeburg. After the abdication of Napoleon on 6 April 1814, it was not until 27 April 1814 that the city of Magdeburg was surrendered by the French. The Elb National Hussar Regiment then marched into the city. The two jäger squadrons were then disbanded and the rest of the regiment again withdrew into garrison.

In June 1814, the regiment was assigned to Westphalia, where it came under the command of General von Tauentzien. It was stationed in the area of Minden, Ravensberg and Lippstadt. Later it moved to the neighborhood of Höxter and Herford. From November on, the regiment was located in the Kingdom of Saxony. The 5th Squadron was transferred to Cuirassier Regiment No. 8 in April 1815. The transfer of the regiment to the standing army followed on 25 May 1815 and it then received the name 10th Hussars Regiment (1 Magdeburg).

1815
After Napoleon's renewed seizure of power in France on 1 March 1815, the mobilization of the hussar regiment followed on 15 April 1815, which was assigned to the reserve cavalry of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia as part of the IV Corps, under the leadership of General of Infantry Bülow. The Prussian corps marched through Wetzlar and Koblenz into Belgium.

On 14 June 1815, the IV Corps was ordered by Field Marshal Prince Gebhard von Blucher to march from Liege, twenty miles westward to set up new headquarters  at Hannut. Bulow however failed to detect the need for haste and failed to obey the order until the morning of the 16 June. As a result, he did not arrive in time to receive a second urgent order commanding him to continue his march westwards to join the rest of the Prussian army in battle on 16 June, when the Prussian I, II and III Corps met the French army at Ligny. Bulow's IV Corps was noticeably absent.

It was not until 17 June at Gembloux, that the fresh IV Corps met up with Thielmann's retreating, but intact, III Corps moving from Ligny to the rallying point at Wavre.  The 10th Hussars along with two battalions and two guns commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel von Lebedur formed the rearguard of the IV Corps, They reached the village of Mont-Saint-Guibert without enemy contact and took up positions to defend the defile with the 3rd and 5th Squadron forming the most advanced outposts. The 14th brigade of Bulow's IV Corps was positioned three miles south east of Wavre at Vieux Sart while the bulk of the IV Corps camped at Dion le Mont further to the East. By around midnight on the 17/18, Bulow's IV Corps   had received orders to march at dawn (around 0400) to Chapelle-Saint-Lambert. where if battle had commenced between the Allied Forces and Napoleon's army,  they would "vigorously attack the enemy's right flank". The 10th Hussars however, together with 2 infantry battalions and two guns were ordered to remain in position and hold the defile of Mont St Guibert against any French cavalry trying to cross the River Dyle. Thus the regiment was not engaged in the Battle of Waterloo. Nevertheless, there were some losses: three sergeants, 18 Hussars and 28 horses.

The reserve cavalry later received orders to maintain the connection to the 1st Army with a battalion and to push forward to Paris. On 1 July, they crossed the Seine and camped at Versailles. After the armistice with France on 9 July 1815, the Allied troops entered Paris. The duties of the regiment were to disarm the National Guard and maintain order.

The march back followed at the beginning of November, and on 28 December, Aschersleben was reached. For their behavior during the fighting Captain von Hagen, a sergeant and four hussars were awarded the Iron Cross Second Class.

The 2nd Squadron was assigned Egeln and Tarthun as temporary quarters and the 4th Squadron received Cochstedt, Börnecke and Schneidlingen. The 1st and 3rd Squadrons were again housed in Aschersleben.

1816–1866
In 1816, in appreciation for outstanding service against the armies of Napoleon, the 10th Hussars received the distinction of a gold-embroidered regimental flag. Furthermore, the same year the 2nd Squadron was transferred to Aschersleben and the 4th squadron went to Oschersleben as a garrison for the fortress, which is the present castle of Oschersleben.

On 10 March 1823, the regiment officially received the name "10 Hussar Regiment", while the addition "Magdeburg" was lost. During the years of peace around 1827, Captain Thadden applied himself to intensive improvements in Aschersleben and the vicinity, and was consequently named the first honorary citizen of the town. When a devastating flood struck the town of Aschersleben in 1830, many people were saved by the efforts of the hussars. As of 1843, Wilhelm, the reigning Duke of Brunswick, was appointed by King Frederick William IV as honorary commander of the regiment.

In 1845, the light blue markings on the caps and uniforms, as well as the inner lining of the furs, were changed to "pompadour" red.

To restore internal order and security, the regiment was sent to Magdeburg during the 1848 March Revolution. After the revolutionary uprisings in the Electorate of Hesse, the regiment marched to Hesse in 1850 under Prince Radziwill without the affair coming to fighting.

In 1860, the addition "Magdeburg" was again applied to the 10th Hussar Regiment.

In 1862 the town of Aschersleben established a canteen in the existing armory, which later became the officers' mess. The city henceforth felt itself closely associated with its Green Hussars, and so in 1863, a grand celebration was held in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the regiment's stationing in Aschersleben.

When war came between Prussia and Austria in 1866, the hussars marched out with the strong sympathy of the population. Under Colonel Besser the regiment distinguished itself in the battles of Münchengrätz, Gitschin, Königgrätz and Pressburg.

After this campaign against Austria, the regiment was solemnly decorated on 3 March 1867 with the 'Ribbon with the Memorial Cross'. In the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, the regiment participated in numerous skirmishes (Wissembourg, Woerth and Spichern). In the Battle of Mars-la-Tour, it made a charge at Vionville. When the German troops had surrounded Paris, the regiment was assigned to the besieging troops. On 20 June 1871, the hussars returned to Aschersleben.

Until its disbanding on 15 June 1882 and transfer on 12 December 1882 to the 13th Hussars, the first squadron of the regiment was led by Captain Gerd von Rundstedt, the father of the later Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt.

In 1884, the regiment was relocated to Stendal.

In 1900, members of the regiment were assigned to the East Asian Expeditionary Corps in China during the Boxer Rebellion. A detachment of the regiment likewise strengthened the German troops in German South-West Africa in 1903–1904 in response to the uprising that had broken out there.

1914–1920

In the mobilization of July 1914, the regiment was increased to six squadrons, and divided into two half regiments of three squadrons each. After initial skirmishes in the area of the Belgian border, the hussars advanced into the interior of the country and took part in the capture of Brussels on 20 August 1914. During the general forward movement of the German army, the regiment reached the Marne river, but beginning on 9 September, it had to be withdrawn back along the Aisne to Soissons. Subsequently, the regiment took part in the so-called "Race to the Sea", then already from mid-October 1914, chiefly without giving up its horses, it was employed in trench warfare. The units of the regiment spent the whole year 1915 on the Western Front in the zone of the IV Army Corps. In 1916, the half regiments were again dissolved and the individual squadrons distributed among infantry divisions, where they fulfilled their original function of reporting and reconnaissance. The year 1917 brought the loss of the regiment's horses and its conversion to a Cavalry Rifle Regiment. The 3rd and 6th Squadrons had previously been moved temporarily to the eastern front, however. There the hussars fought in eastern Galicia, Bucovina and the Carpathians. In 1918, the individual squadrons fought, distributed among different infantry units, in the defensive battles on the Western Front. In December 1918, the remnants of the regiment arrived in their garrison city of Stendal, where the 1st, 3rd and 5th Squadrons were disbanded in February 1919. The 2nd and 4th Squadrons were converted to volunteer squadrons, which were to fight in Upper Silesia against Polish insurgents. This was not necessary, however, and the two squadrons were again dissolved in 1920.

In the Reichswehr, the 3rd Squadron of the 3rd (Prussian) Cavalry Regiment in Stendal took over the regimental tradition.

Uniform
The Magdeburg hussars wore a dark green atilla with yellow lacing and a fur busby of sealskin with a pompadour-red bag of cloth. The cap had a brass chin-strap and a loose bandeau on the front with the inscription: Mit Gott für König und Vaterland (With God for King and Country). There was also a white bandoleer with a black cartridge case, sabretache and lance. The lance pennons of the soldiers were black and white, those of the NCOs white with a black Prussian eagle.

The field-gray field service uniform (M 1910), already ordered by an A.K.O. on 14 February 1907 and introduced gradually from 1909/1910, first replaced the colored uniforms on the occasion of the Imperial maneuvers of 1913. The peacetime uniform was exactly the same as the old ones, except that the laces stayed gray. The leather equipment and the boots were natural brown, and the fur cap was covered by a fabric case in what was called reed-color. The bandoleer and cartridge case were no longer used with this uniform.

Inclusion in the Prussian army march Collection
Since 1843, the regiment has been represented in the army march collection with march No. III, 32: "Trotting march of Hussar Regiment 10" which was composed by F. Münter. Münter was staff trumpeter of the regiment from 1841 to 1871, to which he presented this trotting march in 1843. Münter engaged several times in composing for his regiment and after leaving the service, he worked as a music director in Aschersleben. Certainly Wilhelm Wieprecht as a native Ascherslebener contributed to his becoming known and inclusion in the army march collection.

Until 1914, Field Artillery regiments 35 in Deutsch-Eylau and 54 in Küstrin used the march when trotting on parade. The military music historian Joachim Toeche-Mittler (1906–1996) described the piece as "a magnificent rhythm for official use".

title: A Second Chance (2014 film)

text:
A Second Chance () is a 2014 Danish thriller film directed by Susanne Bier. The film stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Ulrich Thomsen, Maria Bonnevie, Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Lykke May Andersen. It was screened in the Special Presentations section of the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

Plot
Police detective Andreas and his partner Simon are called to investigate an argument in a junkie couple's badly rundown flat, where they discover a child in a wardrobe lying in its own excrement. The seven-week-old child Sofus is dirty and hungry but after he has been examined by Social Services they realize he is in good health. Because of that he cannot be taken from his parents Tristan and Sanne, despite the fact that they are well-known drug addicts.

Andreas himself has a seven-week-old child called Alexander with his wife Anne. They love him dearly and he is well looked after, but he is not an easy child. Soon Anne is unable to cope with Alexander because of her own mental instability. One early morning Andreas wakes up with Anne crying and a dead Alexander. A distraught Anne threatens to kill herself should Andreas call an ambulance – who'd take Alexander from her. After he has calmed down his wife and convinced her to take sleeping pills, Andreas takes the dead baby to the hospital. Waiting in the hospital's parking lot, he then decides to swap the babies and breaks into Tristan and Sanne's flat, where the parents are sleeping off a high. Anne is distraught. She refuses to accept the baby Andreas brings as her own.

The next morning Tristan notices that Sofus is dead. Sanne tells her husband that the dead baby is not her son. Tristan fears that he and Sanne will go to prison and takes their stroller to a busy street, where he pretends that someone has abducted his child from it. Andreas and Simon, who are ordered to investigate, repeatedly interrogate Tristan and Sanne concerning the whereabouts of the dead baby (Alexander).

Anne seems to have come to terms with the new situation. On one of her nightly walks she parks the stroller in the middle of the road on a bridge. This forces a trucker to stop. After she convinces him to take the baby and keep it warm in his cabin, she jumps into the freezing river, committing suicide. In the wake of Anne's death Andreas and his mother care for the baby (Sofus).

In ensuing interrogations, Andreas and his partner try to get Tristan to talk. Andreas slips up when he calls the baby "Alexander" instead of "Sofus". After Tristan is told that Sanne has testified and that they'd have to find the baby to prove cot death, he comes clean. Andreas reacts with an outburst of rage, hitting and kicking Tristan, whereupon his superior sends him home and orders a meeting with the police psychologist. Tristan leads the police to a remote area in a forest, where he buried the baby.

Sanne has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She insists that the dead baby was not Sofus.

At Alexander's autopsy it is revealed that he died due to a cerebral haemorrhage caused by shaken baby syndrome and that he had several older bleeds and rib fractures. Andreas realizes that Anne is responsible for the maltreatment. In a knee-jerk reaction, he heads for his mother's holiday home with Sofus. Meanwhile, his police partner Simon has figured out that Andreas must have swapped the babies. He looks for him at the holiday home and gets it across to Andreas that to turn himself in, is the only right choice. He'd be dismissed from his job in law enforcement but be let-off on a suspended sentence because of significant mitigating circumstances.

Andreas takes Sofus to the psychiatric clinic and returns him to Sanne, who is overjoyed. Some years later Sanne goes shopping at a hardware store, where Andreas works after leaving the police. When she leaves the child alone for a moment, Andreas talks to him and learns his identity.

Themes
The film raises the question of ethical boundaries if a child is in distress or being abused. If social services appear to be unable or unwilling to help, where is the boundary?

title: Lisa Armstrong (writer)

text:
Lisa Armstrong  is a British author and journalist. She is Head of Fashion of The Daily Telegraph.

Early life and education
Born in the UK, Armstrong grew up in Dorset in the sixties and seventies, where she says that "fashion didn’t really exist". She graduated in 1984 from the University of Bristol, where she studied English and French Literature, then journalism at City University London. In 2011, she was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of the Arts London. In 2002, Armstrong was awarded with Fashion Journalist of the Year at the Fashion Awards. In 2017, she was presented with the Fashion Journalist of the Year award by the Press Association, which she was also presented with in 2019.

Journalism
After graduating, Armstrong was offered a job at Elle UK after her freelance writing work was spotted by the then-editor Sally Brampton. From there, she moved to British edition of Vogue, working under Liz Tilberis, and made her way from fashion writer to fashion features director. She was Fashion Editor of The Independent before returning to Vogue under Alexandra Shulman.  Prior to her role at the Telegraph, she held the fashion editor post at The Times. Armstrong is a contributor to Harper's Bazaar, for whom she published her 2011 style manual.

In 2000, Armstrong was the fashion journalist chosen by the Fashion Museum, Bath to choose that year's most representative outfit for their Dress of the Year collection. She decided on the green chiffon dress designed by Donatella Versace and famously worn by Jennifer Lopez. Armstrong used her expertise to argue that this dress, which received a great deal of media attention through being worn by Lopez, Geri Halliwell, and others, represented "some kind of high water mark in the current symbiosis between fashion and celebrity." She is known for accessibly written articles which show a keen eye and a sense of wit, and for being unafraid to express controversial opinions, such as criticising the Yves Saint Laurent brand for its multiple name changes. Since 2015, she has also written a beauty column in The Telegraph.

Armstrong was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to fashion.

Novels
Armstrong has written four novels. ELLE reviewed her first novel, Front Row, as "Has all the juice of a Jackie Collins plus the kind of fash pack details that Armstrong, as fashion features director at Vogue, knows all about." In contrast, the Birmingham Post thought it was amusing, affectionate and indulgent. Armstrong herself commented on Front Row: "It would've been hypocritical of me to do a complete annihilation job. I still work in that world and although it can be absurd and stupid sometimes I just found it funnier the more I observed and wrote about it."

Her other novels are Dead Stylish (2001), Bad Manors (2004) and Déjà View (2005).

Personal life
Armstrong has two grown up children with her husband, Paul. She also has a long haired dog of Cuban origin.

title: Gliceria Marella de Villavicencio

text:
Doña Gliceria Legaspi Marella de Villavicencio (May 15, 1852 – September 28, 1929), also known as Aling Eralian, is acknowledged as one of the famous Filipinos who gave her own wealth, time, knowledge and effort to help the Revolutionaries during the Philippine Revolution.

She is also recognized as a heroine of the Revolution, an ardent sympathizer and supporter of the Filipino struggle for freedom from colonial rule.

During the proclamation of the Philippine Independence on June 12, 1898, Gliceria Marella Villavicencio was given the name "godmother of the revolutionary forces".

Biography

Gliceria Marella Villavicencio was born on May 13, 1852, in Taal, Batangas. She was the third child of seven children and
the daughter of Vicente Marella and Gertrudis Legaspi. They were a wealthy family. At the age of 12 she attended the Santa Catalina College in Intramuros. When Gliceria's elder sister died, she had to take on the responsibility of managing the family estate.

In October 1871, Gliceria married Eulalio Villavicencio, a wealthy ship owner, who also came from a rich family. Together, Eulalio and Gliceria contributed a large portion of their fortune and effort to reinforce the Philippine Revolution. Casa villavicencio, a house on the hill top, was gifted to her as a wedding gift by her husband. The house is used as a place for refuge and as a secret meeting site for revolutionary leaders. When the Spaniards found out about the couples revolutionary activities, their house was frequently searched by the Guardia Civil, where later Eulalio was arrested on charges of sedition and inciting rebellion. Gliceria pleaded in Manila for her husband's release. Gliceria was given the offer from the Spaniards of having her husband released from prison in exchange for any secrets. However, she refused the offer despite her love for her husband. Eulalio was later finally released in 1898, but died after 3 months due to his degraded health in February 1898. The death of her husband had inflamed her passion for supporting the revolution against the Spaniards.

Gliceria Marella Villavicencio used up many of her wealth to extend material aid to the insurrectos . Out of the many she had given, the most notable was the donation of her Ship, the SS Bulusan, which was used in transporting Filipino soldiers, armaments, ammunition, and food supplies for the maintenance of the revolutionary forces. It was the first warship made available to the revolutionaries.

She was a founder of the Batallon Maluya, gave financial and moral support to the revolutionaries and continually provided food, clothing and ammunition to the soldiers. Her house became the secret meeting place of revolutionary leaders including Andres Bonifacio, General Miguel Malvar and General Marasigan.

Gliceria Marella Villavicencio died on September 25, 1929. She had six children.

title: Composition of Connacht

text:
The Composition of Connacht, or Composition of Connaught and Thomond, was a 1585 agreement between, on the one hand, the Gaelic and Gaelicised chiefs of Connacht and Thomond and, on the other hand, the English Dublin Castle administration of the Kingdom of Ireland, which replaced the multiple existing levies with a single tax on land holdings. The Composition was a form of surrender and regrant, a part of the Tudor reconquest of Ireland. The English leaders were Sir John Perrot, as Lord Deputy of Ireland, and Sir Richard Bingham, as Governor of the Presidency of Connacht.

Connacht was made a Presidency in 1569 and divided into counties afterwards, but the county administration did not function efficiently until the Composition. In 1577, Lord Deputy Henry Sidney instigated a first Composition, which collapsed when President Nicholas Malby died. Under the 1585 Composition, the "countries" (cantreds or trícha céts) of the chiefs became baronies of the counties. The counties affected by the composition included Clare, which, under the name Thomond, was part of the Presidency of Connaught from 1569 until about 1600.

Charges
Prior to the composition, a landholder was liable to pay various charges: to the English a cess to cover the cost of the garrisons; and to the Gaelic chief coyne and livery for his private army, and "cuttings" and "coshery" for his household. These were to be replaced with a fixed annual rent of 10 shillings per quarter of inhabited land payable to the Presidency, plus a variable Composition rent payable to the local chief. Some lands, termed "freedoms", were exempt from Composition rent.

Title
The Composition book recorded the names of the holders of many quarters, together with the amount of rent to which they would be liable. Later generations assumed that this amounted to a proof of title to the land for the heirs of those named. This assumption was denied in the 1630s by Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford. Following the Civil wars of the 1640s, land in Connacht was again reassigned as part of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland.

The following people were either members of the Commission, signatories of the composition, or both:

title: Rüsumat No 4

text:
Rüsumat No. 4 was a former Turkish trawler, which is known for her resupply missions in along the Black Sea coast of Turkey during the Turkish War of Independence.

History
She was built in 1891, and purchased by the Ottoman government in 1913. During World War I, she served in the Ottoman navy, first as a minesweeper and then as a coastguard vessel. After the end of the war, in which the Ottoman Empire was defeated, she anchored in Karadeniz Ereğli, a port on the western Black Sea.

In the Turkish War of Independence
In 1919, the ship was seized by the nationalists and beginning by 12 November 1920 she began serving as a military cargo ship to transfer artillery from the East Anatolia and Batumi to West Anatolia ports. The Allies naval ships tried to catch her. However, she managed to escape every time. Consequently, she was nicknamed the "ghost ship".

Last two voyages
On 17 July 1921 during her ninth voyage, while carrying two British made 88 mm guns and 354 ammunition boxes from Batumi, she was spotted by two Greek warships. She could escape to Ordu, which was then a port without harbor facilities. The citizens of Ordu helped to unload the artillery before the Greek ship  showed up and the captain Mahmut, who later adopted the surname Gökbora, shipwrecked Rüsumat. To fool the chasers, he also set fire on the board. The Greek torpedo boat Dafni arrived; but seeing the fire they quickly left Ordu. After the fire was extinguished, the captain cleaned the ship, managed to float the ship, used hazelnut oil to  activate the engines and sailed to Batumi for repairs.  After repairs, she began her tenth and last voyage on 25 September 1921. She successfully reached Samsun port. But during her return voyage, she was spotted again by the Dafni and this time she was shelled, hit 13 times and sunk off Eynesil, Giresun Province, on 14 October 1921.

Gennady Chibisov (; September 23, 1946 – August 7, 2008) was a Soviet/Russian cosmologist. He obtained his PhD in 1972, from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, with a thesis entitled "Entropy perturbations in cosmology". He is best known for his 1981 paper
on the origin of cosmological density perturbations from quantum fluctuations, coauthored with Viatcheslav Mukhanov. This is the earliest of a number of calculations addressing the origin of density fluctuations in inflationary cosmology, which is the most common hypothesis for the origin of the expanding universe and the structure within it.
The Mukhanov-Chibisov paper was part of the work honoured by the 2013 Gruber Prize in Cosmology.

title: Kemsley-Winnick Television

text:
Kemsley-Winnick Television was a consortium formed in 1954 to bid for the new commercial television broadcasting licences in the United Kingdom.

The consortium was made up of producer Maurice Winnick, newspaper publisher Lord Kemsley, and the owner of Great Universal Stores, Isaac Wolfson. Their general manager was John McMillan, formerly Chief Assistant on the BBC's Light Programme.

In October 1954, the ITA announced that Kemsley-Winnick had been successful in obtaining the initial franchises for weekend television in the North and the Midlands.

The company collapsed in 1955, shortly after the award of the contracts, when Lord Kemsley's concerns about the potential financial exposure led to him withdrawing from the consortium. Disagreements with Winnick led to Wolfson also leaving. The departure of so many senior figures led the ITA to declare the company was now different to that which submitted the bid, and they re-advertised the contract. The contract was eventually awarded to ABC, who had previously been offered the 7-day Midlands contract, but ABC's board refused. After Kemsley-Winnick's collapse, ABC were awarded the North and Midlands Weekend contract on 21 September 1955, the day before ITV started broadcasting, and ABC started broadcasting the following year. ABC also bought the camera and broadcasting equipment that Kemsley-Winnick had planned to use.
