title: Frances Adams Le Sueur

text:
Frances Adams Le Sueur née Ross (6 August 1919 – 17 May 1995) was a botanist, ornithologist, and conservationist on the Channel Island of Jersey. Her interest in ornithology began due to her extensive birdwatching. She also began to study the plants in Jersey, leading her to meet T.W. Attenborough, a senior pharmacist who provided invaluable knowledge of Jersey's flora that later helped her career. She did most of her work at her local natural science society, Société Jersiaise. She was key to the ornithology section of Société Jersiaise, and also key to documenting various flora of the Jersey area in her book Flora of Jersey (1985). Along with her research work, Le Sueur worked hard for conservation of Jersey's flower population, campaigning to keep their flora alive to the planning authorities of the Jersey area.

Le Sueur undertook research on the specimens collected in Jersey in the herbarium of the Canadian-French priest Frère Louis-Arsène.

Her work made her an honorary member of the Société Jersiaise, and a study centre in Saint Ouen's Bay is named in her honour.

title: Eduard Schleich the Elder

text:
Eduard Schleich (14 October 1812 in Vilsbiburg – 8 January 1874 in Munich) was a German painter. He is generally referred to as The Elder to distinguish him from his son Eduard, who was also a painter.

Biography

Schleich was the illegitimate son of the judicial administrator at Schloss Haarbach. In 1833, after the death of his father left him destitute, he went to Munich with the intention of enrolling at the Academy of Fine Arts, but was told he had no artistic talent and was rejected. As a result, he began to paint landscapes on his own, modelling them on the works of Christian Etzdorf, Christian Morgenstern and Carl Rottmann.

He then took inspiration from the Dutch Masters, and strove for a greater expression of mood  rather than pictorial representation. Travels in Germany, France and Italy broadened his horizons, but he still mostly painted Bavarian landscapes. He increasingly focused on the play of atmospheric processes and objects became the mere carriers of light and color. He often finished a canvas in a single day.

In 1851, he took a study trip to Paris, together with Carl Ebert, Dietrich Langko and Carl Spitzweg. He not only wanted to study the old masters in the Louvre, but discover the latest styles then being developed there as well.

Eventually, Schleich became a professor at the Academy which had spurned him. He was also a member of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the Academy of Fine Arts Stockholm. In 1850, he was elected to the board of the Munich Kunstverein and oversaw the First International Exhibition at the Glaspalast. Many of his best paintings are in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich. From the 1840s until his death (from cholera), he stayed sporadically at the village of Dachau outside Munich, which was becoming popular with landscape artists and would later have a full-fledged art colony.

title: Eomysticetus

text:
Eomysticetus is an extinct genus of baleen whale from the late Oligocene (Chattian) Chandler Bridge Formation of South Carolina.

Taxonomy
Eomysticetus is a member of the family Eomysticetidae, which also includes Micromysticetus, Tohoraata, Tokarahia, and Yamatocetus. There are two species of Eomysticetus, E. whitmorei and E. carolinensis, both from the Chandler Bridge Formation of South Carolina.

Physical characteristics
The skull was around  in length. Like more evolved baleen whales, its jaws had baleen instead of teeth, meaning that it could filter plankton with its baleen plates. However, primitive baleen whales may have retained enamel coated teeth embedded in the gums, similar to modern sperm whales. Baleen whales, as a group, may be sensitive to low-frequency sounds.

Unlike modern baleen whales, Eomysticetus had a blowhole that was positioned ahead of the eyes, and the characteristics of its vertebrae and flipper bones are akin to those of archaeocetes like Basilosaurus.

The press was co-founded by Lisa Bowden (publisher) and poet Karen Falkenstrom. Shannon Cain was its Executive Director from 2004 to 2009. Kore Press publishes manuscripts accepted through general submission and annually awards prizes for a first book of poetry, a single short story and a memoir or a memoir-in-essays.

Kore Press titles are distributed by Independent Publishers Group. The press has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and awards including the National Book Foundation's Innovations in Reading Prize.

Notable authors published by Kore Press include Alison Hawthorne Deming, Carolyn Hembree, Ofelia Zepeda, Linda Hogan, and Jennifer Barber. Author Kelcey Parker's book For Sale by Owner was the 2011 recipient of the Next Generation Indie Book Award in Short Fiction.

In 2010, Kore Press produced a one-woman play titled "Coming In Hot," depicting women's accounts of military service in recent conflicts around the world. The play was based on the press's 2008 anthology Powder: Writing by Women in the Ranks from Vietnam to Iraq, co-edited by Lisa Bowden and Shannon Cain.

As part of their commitment to social activism, in 2011 Kore Press began a series of justice programming. Their first project, Big Read Tucson 2011, was held in conjunction with the National Endowment for the Arts’ literacy initiative Big Read. Kore's 10-week community engagement program involved 40 local partners and celebrated the life and work of poet Emily Dickinson with a variety of events. For their 2014 cross-generational program The Listening Project, teenage girls interviewed female service members and veterans about their lives and experiences serving in the military. Their radio stories were broadcast publicly and were used to create an on-line, audio archive on civil discourse. In 2016, in conjunction with over 25 health, cultural and justice organizations, Kore Press organized Unsilencing Anatomies, a two-month, community-wide event that looked at the ways ethnicity, sexuality and gender affect people’s experiences with health and the medical system. In 2017, the press hosted poet, experimental vocalist and scholar Tracie Morris for a local performance to address the issues of race, gender and class.

title: Celso Camacho Quiroz

text:
Celso Camacho Quiroz is a fourth-generation Mexican potter who works in Metepec, in the State of Mexico. His specialty is the making of large cooking vessels called “cazuelas,” traditionally used to cook mole and rice, but he also makes a number of other utilitarian and decorative pieces. His work has been recognized with awards such as the Gran Premio de Arte Popular from FONART in 1999 and being named a “grand master” by the Fomento Cultural Banamex in 2003.

Life
Camacho Quiroz is a fourth generation potter, learning the craft from his parents. Both his parents worked in clay, with his father specializing in the making of incense burners and small items such as cups. His mother specialized in large cooking pots called “cazuelas,” traditionally used for making mole and rice. He began working in clay as a small child, helping his mother create cups and other small vessels which provides most of the family's income at the time. They shaped pieces from Monday to Friday, with firing done on weekends and sell and even trade them for other goods at the traditional “tianguis” market in Metepec. Camacho Quiroz continued working in ceramics even though he attended university. He left school when his parents died, first his father and soon after, his mother. All of his siblings also learned to work in clay and relied on it for income at some point in their lives, but today only the boys of the family are still potters.

Today, the artisan works with his wife and children. His wife, Ivette Camacho Rodriguez, studied ceramics at the Centro Cultural MOA. She makes pieces in Talavera style and has won awards in competitions in Metepec and with FONART. She also teaches her techniques to pre schoolers. His two children also work in ceramics and have participated in artistic competitions for youth organized by the government of Metepec.

Career
Camacho Quiroz is best known for his large cazuela cooking pots, which are a traditional ware in Metepec. Most of his income derives from them, but most are not sold for cooking but rather as decorative elements and can be found on walls in homes, restaurants and offices. He also makes large and small flowerpots, jugs for serving pulque and various other utilitarian and decorative pieces. Certain pieces, such as trees of life, are made only to order.

His work can be found part of the collections of the Frankfurt Museum and other museums in Europe.  He regularly competes in Metepec's most important competition, the Leyendas Vivientes de FONART.

The artisan has won various important recognitions for his work such as the Gran Premio de Arte Popular from FONART in 1999, and awards at the Premio Nacional de Arte Popular in Oaxaca and the Concurso Nacional de Cerámica in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco. He was named a “grand master” by the Fomento Cultural Banamex in 2003.

Artistry
Camacho Quiroz works with red and yellow clays mined from the nearby town of Ocotitlán. He cleans the masses and along with others in this town, engages in the tradition of laying the clays on the street to be pulverized by passing cars. The final grinding to a powder is done by hand with a heavy stone in small quantities. To work the clay into forms, it is first wetted and then “plumilla” cattail fluff is added as a temper. Certain pieces, such as flowerpots are made using molds, pressing thin “pancakes” of clay into shape. Then pieces are dried in the sun before being smoothed with stones and other tools. Firing is done in a circular kiln. The first time is done terra cotta and the second is done after painting and glazing.

His specialty is the making of large, heavy cooking vessels called “cazuelas.” As many of his pieces are used for decoration, motifs are important.  Turkeys appear frequently as a decorative element in his work, “as a traditional sign of America.” He also paints butterflies, as symbols of perfection and strength. Other designs include various plants, animals and flowers.

He changed to non-leaded glazes in order to be able to sell his ware more widely in Mexico and abroad. He has been experimenting with ceramics of higher temperatures and other techniques, combining them with more traditional ones.

title: Port of Zarubino

text:
Port of Zarubino () is a sea port situated in Zarubino on the south of Primorsky Krai in the Trinity Bay, northwestern part of the Sea of Japan. The port is  from the border with China and close to the border with North Korea.  A railway line from the port connects to railway lines running north to Vladivostok, west to Hunchun of Jilin Province in China where a high speed rail terminus is operational, and south to Rajin in North Korea via Khasan, respectively. It is ice-free year round.

History
Port of Zarubino originated from the construction of a fishing industry sea port which began in 1972.

In June 1973, the Order of " Primorrybproma " from 06.01.1973 Direction was formed under construction fishing port "Trinity". In July 1981, the Order of the All-Union Association of the Far Eastern fishery basin ( VRPO " Dalryba ") dated 01.06.1981 in the village formed the Zarubino enterprise Sea Fishing Port Trinity.

In December 1988, in accordance with the order of the USSR Ministry of Fisheries from 01.12.1988 №450 Enterprise "Sea Fishing Port " Trinity " " was renamed "Khasan fishing port".

In April 1992, the Order of the Government of Russia from 15.04.1992 № 739- p Khasan sea commercial port Trinity Bay was opened to foreign vessels.

A railway line from the port connects to the railway line from Vladivostok to Khasan on the border with North Korea and the line to Jilin Province in China.

In May 2013 Order of the Russian Ministry of Health of 12.11.2012 № 904n cancelled orders from the Health Ministry of Russia 7.03.2012 № 207n that point through the state border of the Russian Federation in the seaport Zarubino was included in the list of checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation, especially equipped and intended for import of goods, chemical, biological and radioactive substances, waste and other goods that are hazardous to human food products, materials and articles in contact with food.

Development

There are prospects of development of the Zarubino seaport through either the construction of new or expansion of existing port infrastructure. In February 2014 plans were announced for construction of a grain terminal with capacity of 5 million tons in a joint venture of United Grain Company with Dalport, an affiliate of multi-industry holding Summa Group of Russia. It is planned to bring the total volume of cargo handling in the seaport to 10 million tons and to supply grain to the Asia-Pacific region, including by increasing the processing of rolling cargo (cars and other equipment), fish and containers not only Russian export-import, but also for the purposes of transit, from north to south China and from China to Korea.

In May 2014 Jilin province of China and the Summa Group signed a cooperative agreement about development of the port at the fourth Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA), held in Shanghai.  The scheme would expand port capacity to 60 million tonnes of cargo per year.  The first phase is due to be completed by 2018 allowing for 500,000 twenty foot equivalent units containers and 10 million tonnes of grain and cargo per year.

title: History of Russians in Baltimore

text:
The history of Russians in Baltimore dates back to the mid-19th century. The Russian community is a growing population and constitutes a major source of new immigrants to the city. Historically the Russian community was centered in East Baltimore, but most Russians now live in Northwest Baltimore's Arlington neighborhood and in Baltimore's suburb of Pikesville.

Demographics
In 1920, 4,632 foreign-born White people in Baltimore spoke the Russian language, many of them being Russian-speaking Jews. Russian was the second most widely spoken Slavic or Eastern European language in the city after the Polish language.

In the 1930 United States Census, Russian-Americans were the largest foreign-born group in Baltimore. In that year 17,500 Russian-born immigrants lived in the city and more than 24,000 Baltimoreans were of Russian parentage.

In 1940, 14,670 immigrants from the Soviet Union lived in Baltimore, many of whom were of Russian descent. These immigrants comprised 24.1% of the city's foreign-born white population.

During the 1990s around 8,208 immigrants settled in Baltimore from Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the former Soviet Union.

The Russian community in the Baltimore metropolitan area numbered 35,763 as of 2000, making up 1.4% of the area's population. In the same year Baltimore city's Russian population was 5,526, 0.8% of the city's population. 19,430 Russians live in adjacent Baltimore County and in total 7.2% of the Baltimore metropolitan area's foreign-born population is Russian-American.

According to the 2000 Census, the Russian language was spoken at home by 1,235 people in Baltimore.

As of 2005, the Baltimore region had the 15th-largest Russian-speaking population in the United States.

In 2013, an estimated 5,647 Russian-Americans resided in Baltimore city, 0.9% of the population.

As of September 2014, immigrants from Russia were the twenty-sixth largest foreign-born population in Baltimore and the Russian language was the seventh most spoken language other than English.

History

Most Russian immigrants to Baltimore have been Russian Jews. In the 1930 United States Census there were 17,000 Russians living in the city, most of whom were Jewish. In comparison to Baltimore's wealthy and assimilated German Jews, Russian Jews were largely poor and lived in slums with other Russians. The German-Russian divide among Baltimore's Jewry lead many Jews from Russia to associate more with the Russian community than the wider Jewish community. Baltimore's Russian community, including Russian Jews, was originally centered in Southeast Baltimore. The largest wave of Russian-Jewish immigrants to Baltimore occurred during the 1880s. A second wave of Russian-Jewish immigrants came during the 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

During the 1920s, a number of Russians in Baltimore were involved in the Communist Party of Maryland. The Communist Party in Baltimore had a Russian branch. With the approval of the national Russian-language organization of the Communist Party USA, members of Baltimore's Russian Communist branch often attended the Independent Russian Orthodox Church in Baltimore. Prokope Suvorov, the leader of the Russian Communist branch, taught the Russian language at the church. Another Russian Communist staged the congregation's plays, while other members sold Communist literature at the church. The Russian-American Communist Alex Bail was concerned by the religiosity of Baltimore's Russian Christian Communists, but his concerns were somewhat abated due to the portrait of Vladimir Lenin hanging inside the Russian Orthodox church.

During the 1930s, Russians were the largest foreign-born population in Baltimore.

In the 1960 United States Census, Russian Jews comprised 18.2% of Baltimore's population. By 1940, Russian Jews were the majority in 13 of Baltimore's census tracts.

Russian Jews helped establish several synagogues in Baltimore, including the B'nai Israel Synagogue and the Shaarei Tfiloh Synagogue.

While most people of Russian descent in Baltimore are Jewish, a significant minority are Christians, mostly from the Russian Orthodox Church. Ethnic Russians from Belarus established the Transfiguration of our Lord Russian Orthodox Church in 1963 in order to serve the needs of the Russian Orthodox community. Russian Orthodox Christians also established the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church.

To facilitate the integration of Russian immigrants into American society, the Baltimore branch of the HIAS established a bilingual Russian-English newspaper titled The News Exchange in May, 1978.

In the 1990 United States Census over 30,000 people of Russian descent lived in Baltimore and Baltimore County. At the time, over 400 Russian-speaking people settled in the Baltimore area each year.

Ze Mean Bean Café in Fell's Point opened in 1995. It is a restaurant which offers Russian cuisine, as well as other Slavic and Eastern European fare.

Culture

In 1995 a biweekly Russian language newspaper titled Kaskad (Cascade) was founded by a Russian-speaking Jewish immigrant from Belarus.

As of 1995, the Baltimore area was home to several Russian grocery stores, a Russian language magazine, and a Russian language radio program.

An annual Russian Festival is held at the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church in October. The festival celebrates Russian heritage, history, and cuisine.

The National Slavic Museum opened in 2012. The museum focuses on the Slavic history of Baltimore, including Baltimore's Russian history.

The Lemko House, an apartment complex on South Ann Street, provides housing for Eastern European immigrants. Founded in 1983 by Ivan Dornic, an Eastern Rite priest, the complex is named after Dornic's ethnic group, the Lemkos. The Lemkos are a Rusyn ethnic group inhabiting Lemkivshchyna, a part of Transcarpathia that spans parts of Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine. Lemko House has opened its doors to low-income residents of any ethnicity, but is still home to many Slavic and Eastern European immigrants, including Russians.

Perry County Correctional Facility is a privately owned and privately operated prison facility about  east of Uniontown in Perry County, Alabama, and operated by LCS Corrections Services.

Despite its name the prison has never been operated by, or housed prisoners of, Perry County. It opened in April 2006. A contract with the Vermont Department of Corrections for the housing of 80 offenders ended in April 2009 amid allegations of understaffing and inmates being injured. It was Vermont's first private-prison contract.

On May 25, 2009, prisoners Ashton Mink and Joshua Southwick escaped and were re-captured after a 14-hour shootout in Gladstone, North Dakota. Shortly thereafter Alabama removed its 250 prisoners from the facility, citing money concerns, although state Prison Commissioner Richard Allen noted that LCS had taken eleven and a half hours to notify officials of the Memorial Day escape.

The facility continues to house federal inmates of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the United States Marshals Service.  only about 30 federal prisoners were held in Perry even though the Alabama state system was running at an average 192% capacity.

title: Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen

text:
Hot Tub is a weekly variety show hosted by Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal. The show features a mix of alternative comedy from unknown performers to more established comedians. In 2005, Hot Tub was voted “Best Variety Show” by Time-Out New York’s reader poll and has quickly become one of L.A.’s most popular live comedy events. During the first seven years the show saw considerable success at The PIT in Manhattan and Littlefield in Brooklyn, New York. In 2013, under the helm of The Super Serious Show producers CleftClips, Hot Tub relocated to the West Coast at The Virgil in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. In January, 2023, the show again relocated to Permanent Records Roadhouse in the Cypress Park neighborhood of Northeast Los Angeles.

Style

Hot Tub harbors comedy acts that are unusual, odd, experimental, and generally free-wheeling. The show is also a venue in which well-known comedians try out new material and more eccentric bits. There is a great deal of improv, absurd performance art, and audience interaction in many performances. Much of Braunohler and Schaal’s material is fostered by the chemistry that developed from their friendship and extensive professional relationship.

title: Minnie Abercrombie

text:
Minnie Abercrombie (14 November 1909 – 25 November 1984), also known as M. L. J. Abercrombie, was a British zoologist, educationalist and psychologist. She was known for her work on invertebrates and her work in the publishing industry, conducted with her husband, Michael Abercrombie. She also contributed to the theory and practice of education through her teaching, research, lecturing and writing. In particular, she carried out pioneer psychological research into the use of groups in learning with medical, architectural and education students, and she shared with diverse audiences in many countries her extensive knowledge and expertise as a teacher who used the methods and principles of group analytic psychotherapy.

Early life and education
Minnie Louie Johnson was born on 14 November 1909. She attended Waverley Road Secondary School in Birmingham, where she completed the higher school certificate in chemistry, zoology, botany, and history. Influenced by her biology teacher she stayed in education and went to university. She was awarded her B.Sc. (Zoology, First Class) and Ph.D from the University of Birmingham in 1930 and 1932, respectively, for studying respiration control in invertebrates.

Career
In 1932, she was appointed as a lecturer in the Zoology Department at University of Birmingham, and during World War II was promoted to acting head. She married Michael Abercrombie 17 July 1939 and collaborated with him extensively on both scientific and outreach work. In 1947 she moved with her husband to University College, London. Among her work to popularise science was the New Biology journal aimed at young people published by Penguin Books from 1945 until 1960.  It was highly popular, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. It was co-edited by Abercrombie, using her name M. L. Johnson, and she also wrote some of the earlier articles. She also collaborated with Michael Abercrombie and C. J. Hickman on the Penguin Dictionary of Biology.

She worked on the selection and pre-clinical training of medical students, based in the Anatomy Department. This prompted her interest in group discussion, perception and reasoning so students learned from their peers as well as teachers, a precursor to problem-based learning later adopted in medical education.  She also spent 5 years working at Guy's Hospital on a project about cerebral palsy. Abercrombie then was appointed as Reader in Architectural Education at the Bartlett School in University College and able to take full control of her research and teaching.

After her formal retirement, she continued to work and research on small-group education, first with a grant-funded research project about medical education in the Radiology Department at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge where she was then living, followed by a project at the Cambridge Institute of Education with a group of primary school headteachers and Cambridge Group Work, a regional branch of the Institute of Group Analysis based in London. She was also involved with the University of the Third Age. As a consequence, she was considered an authority on medical education and continuing education of school teachers. She published several books. She was among the founders of the Group Analytic Society and its president from 1980 - 1983.

Abercrombie was a Visiting Professor at universities in Australia and at McMaster University, Ontario in Canada because of her expertise with small groups.

Research into education methods
Abercrombie investigated and developed improved methods of small-group teaching in higher education. Examples were why medical students, who were able to solve problems when presented in a familiar format, were unable to do so when the same problems were presented in a slightly different way. She brought out that most people rarely reflect upon their initial judgements, which were embedded in their own personality. Abercrombie found that group discussion helped these students solve such problems and, in particular, improved the ability of the students to discriminate between facts and opinions, to resist false conclusions and to bring fresh strategies to their attempts to solve new problems without being adversely influenced by past failure. The ideas she put forward about the development of small group interactive learning pedagogies in the 1960s in the UK had an almost immediate impact on the primary and tertiary education. Her Anatomy of Judgement: an investigation into the process of perception and reasoning resulted from ten years of research on the selection and training of medical students at University College London. This research suggested that the art of medical judgement, diagnosis and other key elements of medical practice, were better learned in small groups of students arriving at a diagnosis collaboratively than by students working individually. Her finding was that group discussion, properly directed, could do much to eliminate faults in the teacher and to make the student think instead of learning. Concepts of problem-based learning used in many medical schools in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries are based on these ideas.

There was a clear line of development in her work that was always underpinned by her interest in educational work. She progressively developed her research and thinking from her early years as a zoology teacher through her growing involvement in Group Analysis and its application in education. Throughout her work, three themes – the selective and projective nature of perception and reasoning; the difficulty that human beings experience in changing; the subtlety and complexity of communication – continually interact with and enrich one another. She increasingly concentrated on group analysis and its relevance to and use in higher education involving "free" or "associative" group discussion as she used it in her own work with students.

The book The Anatomy of Judgement is an edited selection from her educational writings and is her best known book. It is essentially an analysis of the process of learning as a summation of judgements when information is presented, showing how emotion and preconceptions influence this judgement. The extracts are arranged in four parts. The first gives an overview of the development of her research and thinking from her early years as a zoology teacher to her growing involvement in group analysis and its application in education. The second part illustrates the way in which, throughout her work, three themes interact: the selective and projective nature of perception and reasoning; the difficulty that human beings experience in changing; the subtlety and complexity of communication. The third part focuses in greater detail upon group analysis, its relevance to and use in higher education.

Group learning
She carried out pioneer research into the use of groups in learning with medical, architectural and education students, and she shared with diverse audiences in many countries her extensive knowledge and expertise as a teacher who used the methods and principles of group analytic psychotherapy. Abercrombie came to these views through her contact with the psychoanalyst and group analyst S. H. Foulkes and in 1952 she was a founder member of the Group Analytic Society, and president of the society in 1981. This society still awards a prize in her name, the Jane Abercrombie Prize, in recognition of the importance of her ideas.

Later life
When her husband got a job at University of Cambridge, she moved with him to live in Cambridge but commuted to continue to work in London. They had one son, Nicholas. She died suddenly on 25 November 1984.

title: Bentley Fortissimo

text:
The Bentley Fortissimo tennis racquet of 1972 was the first oversize tennis racquet to be produced and demonstrated publicly. Prior to its introduction, all tennis racquets were much smaller in terms of the stringbed size, measured in square inches. Today, that size, known as standard, is not used by any professional player for professional match play.

The Fortissimo was shown in 1972 at the "Spoga", a sporting goods show in Germany. Its designer is Kurt Klemmer, who made the racquet with an epoxy fiberglass process. The Fortissimo was not produced on a commercial scale. Racquet engineer Siegfried Kuebler stated that it did not create a favorable impression with tennis players but was positively received by racquet designers.

The Fortissimo emerged two years prior to the filing of the influential and lucrative patent for racquets sized 95-135 square inches by Prince Sporting Goods (now Prince Sports and commonly called Prince). This resulted in the disqualification of the patent by the German patent authority. The Prince patent was upheld elsewhere and the company became the only highly-successful seller of oversize racquets in their early history. The first was the very flexible aluminum Prince Classic of 1976. Tad Weed introduced the first super-oversize in 1975, to start a line that continues to be sold today.

Materials Shift Impact
Although metal racquets became popular in the 1970s, beginning with the invention of the 1963 Lacoste steel racquet that became the extremely successful Wilson T2000, synthetic materials, beginning with fiberglass and culminating in graphite, would eventually completely displace them from all but the low-budget recreational line sold in generalist stores such as Walmart.

The Yamaha Corporation saw success in the marketplace in the 1970s and early 1980s with fiberglass racquets made with the small "standard" head size such as the YFG 10. Several other companies introduced racquets made just with fiberglass as well, such as Caldon and Head. As with the Yamaha, these were made with the standard head size. The Fortissimo, however, was made with the new oversize head size, using the improved resistance to warpage (when compared with wood) and lighter weight (when compared with metal) of fiberglass. Fiberglass never achieved market dominance, though, as wood racquets with graphite layering and metal racquets, including oversize models, continued to find popularity. Graphite, which offered better stiffness and resistance to cracking than fiberglass, eventually displaced all other materials as the primary constituent material of a tennis racquet.

The change from the "standard" (the smallest) racquet head size, which was used until the 1970s by all tennis players, to larger sizes is considered to be the most dramatic in terms of tennis racquet technology change by some tennis historians. However, the materials shift from soft wood to stiffer, lighter, and more warp-resistant materials (culminating in graphite), which generally accompanied the transition to larger head sizes, also is paramount in terms of impact.

As oversize wooden racquets have a strong tendency to warp and also lack solidity when produced at a playable weight, only one was produced, the Prince Woodie, which had many layers of graphite to improve its stability. That racquet was used successfully by male and female professionals, such as Gabriela Sabatini and professionals in development, such as Tommy Haas. Although it offered very little power, when compared with a graphite racquet, due to its flexibility, it absorbed ball shock well due to its wood construction, making it an excellent racquet for training. Similarly, fiberglass was quite flexible, like wood. The desire for more power led to graphite eventually completely displacing fiberglass, although graphite racquets with approximately 20% fiberglass were produced long after 100% fiberglass racquets disappeared from the market.

Size Shift Impact
No professional tennis player has used the small "standard" racquet head size since the 1980s for a professional match, with nearly all players having switched to a midsize or larger frame by 1984. However, even today, few professionals use an oversize racquet, preferring a midplus or super midplus. That size is smaller than that of an oversize (which is typically 110 square inches) and larger than that of a midsize (which is typically 90 square inches). The only active professional player to use a midsize recently is Roger Federer, who switched to a larger racquet at the end of 2013.

Oversize and larger racquets are generally used by older recreational players, as a way to reduce the impact of aging on their tennis competitiveness. The largest legal racquets, which are known as super-oversize frames, have proven extremely rare in professional competition, with only Monica Seles being a top 10 or higher ranked player who used one (a 125 square inch Yonex) during her career at any time. Andre Agassi achieved considerable success with an oversize racquet, a fact that was often noted due to his rivalry with Pete Sampras, a player who used a much smaller midsize frame. Oversize racquets are generally considered to offer more power but less control, a trend that exists from the smallest racquet size ("standard") to the largest legal size, which is 135 square inches.

Rarity and Mind Share
There were twelve Fortissimo racquets produced and only two are reportedly still extant, both of which are possessed by Siegfried Kuebler, the designer notable for creating widebody racquets. Those led to the very popular and extremely influential Wilson Profile racquet of 1987. Kuebler's first widebody racquet emerged in 1984.

As few were produced and the two that were submitted to the German patent authority disappeared for many years, little is known in the tennis world about the Fortissimo. Howard Head and the company formerly known as Prince Sporting Goods (not Prince Sports) received the mind share and market success for oversize racquets in their early years. The article that appeared on the sporting goods company Tennis Warehouse's website in 2005, in which Kuebler provides the historical details regarding the Fortissimo, is now only available via one of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine snapshots.

title: Ranales

text:
The Ranales are an obsolete taxon of the Dicotyledons, with rank of order typified by Ranunculus (Ranunculaceae).

Description
The Ranunculaceae were included directly in the Thalamiflorae by de Candolle (1819-1824) as an order within that subclass. They were paraphyletic and considered a very primitive group with a key position in angiosperm phylogeny. In the Bentham and Hooker classification they were characterised as having "stamens usually many, carpels free, endosperm conspicuous, embryo small". The term may be qualified by using its broader circumscription (sensu lato), i.e Ranales s.l..

In the Bentham and Hooker system (1862-1883), the Ranales were the first cohort of the Thalamiflorae with eight families:
 I. RANUNCULACEÆ
 II. DILLENIACEÆ
 III. CALYCANTHACEÆ
 IV. MAGNOLIACEÆ
 V. ANONACEÆ [sic]
 VI. MENISPERMACEÆ
 VII. BERBERIDEÆ
 VIII. NYMPHÆACEÆ

Bessey (1915) made it a much larger entity within the Strobiloideae with twenty four families. Later, Hutchinson (1959) circumscribed the Ranales more narrowly with only four families (Ranunculaceae, Cabombaceae, Ceratophyllaceae, Nymphaeaceae) within the Archychlamydeae. Melchior (1964) preferred the term Ranunculales to include the Ranunculaceae within Archychlamydeae, the term which is still in use including seven families but little overlap with Hutchinson. Cronquist (1968-1981), one of the more influential twentieth century classifications had eight families and placed the Ranunculales in the larger Magnoliidae. Ranunculales has been used by most subsequent systems with the exception of Thorne (1992), with Berberidales, but with widely varying numbers of families.

The current APG system uses Ranunculales in the Eudicot clade with seven families.
