title: Nach Bach

text:
Nach Bach (German for "After Bach", subtitled Fantasia for harpsichord), is a composition for harpsichord or piano by American composer George Rochberg, written in 1966 and dedicated to his friend Igor Kipnis, who premièred the work in Annenberg Auditorium at the University of Pennsylvania on 27 January 1967.

History

Rochberg composed this piece while still serving as chairman of the music department at the University of Pennsylvania. He had just abandoned serialism three years previously in 1963, the year before his father died, in the spring, and in November of the same year his teenage son, Paul, died because of brain tumor. The composer said it was after his son died that

He also said he had found serialism to be a style incapable of expressing "serenity, tranquility, grace, wit, energy and perhaps most importantly, joy". His last serial work was the Trio for violin, cello, and piano, written in 1963.

Rochberg composed the work at Tanglewood in the summer of 1966, on a commission from the harpsichordist Igor Kipnis. At the time, Rochberg knew virtually nothing about the technical problems of the harpsichord, so before setting to work had a long discussion with Kipnis who demonstrated the use of pedals, the attack and timbral characteristics of the instrument, which enabled the composer to incorporate every possible color combination available on Kipnis's custom-built instrument into the structure of the piece. The manuscript score is dated July 6, 1966, and at that point was designated only for the harpsichord. The score was revised for publication, to include registration markings for the harpsichord added by the dedicatee, Igor Kipnis, and accommodations for performance on the piano, including dynamic markings, indications for pedaling, and ossia passages (on pages 4.1, 4.2, and 8.2) in which some notes are to be played an octave higher on the piano than in the version for harpsichord.

Structure

This work is in free form, like many other fantasias, with long sections with durations in unmeasured notation. The composer describes this form as "open, asymmetrical and progressive, i.e., non-repetitive, and so akin, in spirit at least, to the old 'fantasia' idea of Bach and Mozart". In the score, according to the composer, passages marked in boxes are direct quotes from J. S. Bach's Partita No. 6 in E minor, BWV 830, and should be played as dramatic "inserts". In addition to these direct quotations, all of which occur in the second of its five main sections, there are many non-literal quotations and pitch segments derived from Bach's composition. There is also a quotation from a Brahms Intermezzo on the last page.

The general texture of the work is freely atonal, with rhythms written in indeterminate notation. One of the most striking features of the work is the contrast between this predominant texture and the quotations from Bach. A free-form composition with an improvisatory character, the work nevertheless falls into five large sections, with a transitional passage between sections two and three. The sections are discriminated by the use of strong cadences, long pauses, and changes in texture, density, tempo, mood, and dynamics. Dissonances are also used to differentiate the sections.

Although it does not employ twelve-tone technique, several twelve-tone sets occur in the piece, including one that opens the work: B, E, B, C, D, C, E, F, G, A, A, G, which divides into a pair of [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6] hexachords. Many of the main pitch elements of the piece are derived from this set. Three further twelve-tone sets occur in the second main section, and two in the third.

title: Stage3D

text:
Stage3D (codenamed Molehill) is an Adobe Flash Player API for rendering interactive 3D graphics with GPU-acceleration, within Flash games and applications. Flash Player or AIR applications written in ActionScript 3 may use Stage3D to render 3D graphics, and such applications run natively on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Apple iOS and Google Android. Stage3D is similar in purpose and design to WebGL.

Stage3D was introduced in Adobe Flash Player 11.0 and AIR 3.0 in order to facilitate GPU-acceleration of 3D content in Flash applications In Flash Player 10 and earlier, 3D Flash applications had to render 3D graphics completely on the CPU. Flash Player 10 supported a limited form of GPU acceleration support for materials, in an API called Pixel Bender.

GPU Shaders in Stage3D are expressed in the Adobe Graphics Assembly Language (AGAL). Stage3D objects depart from the traditional SWF rendering model in that they cannot be added to SWF's display lists; instead they must be instantiated via ActionScript.

Because Stage3D is a low-level library that may be tedious to use directly, it has seen some higher-level 3D and 2D libraries built on top of it in order to benefit from the higher performance that it provides. An incomplete list of libraries and game engines using it includes: Unreal Engine 3, Away3D 4, CopperCube, Flare3D, Starling, ND2D or Adobe Labs' Proscenium. Similarly, WebGL 3D applications may be built with three.js, a higher-level library similar to these. Away3D and Starling have been christened as official components of the Adobe Gaming SDK.

History
In 2011, Flash Player 11 was released, and with it the first version of Stage3D, allowing for GPU-accelerated 3D rendering for Flash applications and games, on desktop platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

In March 2012, Flash Player 11.2 was released, which enabled Stage3D/GPU support on Android and iOS platforms. Games utilizing Stage3D APIs would work with no changes on these mobile platforms.

In June 2012, Flash Player 11.3 was released, enabling progressive streaming of Stage3D texture maps, allowing for faster performance and startup times for games and applications utilizing Stage3D.

In August 2012, Flash Player 11.4 was released, which raised the supported hardware-accelerated video cards count to 2006, and allowed alpha-channels for Stage3D compressed textures.

In March 2012, Adobe announced that Stage3D will be part of the premium features of the Flash Player (stating with Flash Player version 11.2), and thus not available completely free of charge to developers, but based on a revenue sharing scheme. Various notable members of the Flash community objected to the change, referring to it as a "speed-tax".

In January 2013, Adobe classified all premium features as general availability, and could be freely used by Flash applications, without requiring a license or royalty from developers or publishers.

In September 2012, Flash Player 11.4 was released allowing games to target "constrained profiles" which included older graphics chips, that did not support all the features of Stage3D.

In April 2013, Flash Player 11.7 was released, which supported 16-bit texture maps for Stage3D content, which allowed reduced memory usage and improved memory management.

In July 2013, Flash Player 11.8 was released, which increased the maximum texture map size to 4096 x 4096, in addition to supporting rectangular (non-square) texture maps for Stage3D content. This allowed for greater detail in texture maps, and larger texture atlases to be created enabling better performance.

As of 2014, GPU acceleration was removed in Flash Player 11.8 onwards for Pixel Bender scripts. Pixel Bender was an older technology for writing high-performance CPU-based image processing filters. This has disrupted a number of less well-endowed projects, including MIT's Scratch, which could not find the manpower to rapidly recode their applications.

Features
Stage3D consists of the following components:
Unified API - Unified ActionScript 3 API for managing texture memory, vertex shading, pixel shading, and mesh rendering. Transparently executed using OpenGL (on Mac OS X and Linux) and DirectX (on Microsoft Windows).
Accelerated GPU Rendering - Integrated support for graphic cards built by NVidia, AMD and Intel, Blacklist for incompatible graphic cards.
Accelerated CPU Rendering - Integrated software renderer fallback using SwiftShader, for systems with missing/incompatible graphics cards.
AGAL (Adobe Graphics Assembly Language) - A language for writing Shaders (programs that run on the GPU) such that they can be converted to OpenGL GLSL Shaders and DirectX HLSL Shaders by Flash Player.
ATF (Adobe Texture Format) - A texture format such that textures can be converted to appropriate platform-specific texture formats such as DXT on Windows and MacOS, PVRTC on iOS.

Stage3D is supported by the following components:
XC APIs - the "premium features" for Flash Player, consisting of high-speed memory manipulation opcodes (known as "Alchemy") and Stage3D APIs.
CrossBridge - A cross-compilation toolkit to compile OpenGL-based 3D games or game engines to run within Flash Player.
Adobe Scout - A visual profiler for Flash content running on desktop or mobile. Scout enables in-depth profiling of Stage3D content with the following integrated features:
Stage3D Preview - View the current back-buffer of executed Stage3D Content
Stage3D Recording - Capture every Stage3D command executed by the Flash content, and replay/step through executed commands
GPU memory usage - Profile texture memory usage with a real-time breakdown
Stage3D Program Editor - Interactively modify recorded Stage3D commands and see what effect this has on rendering. Edit the AGAL code for the vertex and fragment programs executed by each draw call.

AGAL
Adobe Graphics Assembly Language (AGAL) is an assembly language for writing GPU Shaders. AGAL was invented by Adobe to provide a unified shader language for all platforms. AGAL programs are written by hand with low-level opcodes and registers. AGAL programs are compiled into bytecode which is then embedded into Flash SWF movies. This AGAL bytecode is automatically compiled into OpenGL GLSL Shaders and DirectX HLSL Shaders by Adobe Flash Player, depending on the platform.

With AGAL, developers can write shaders that transform 3D models on the GPU (vertex shader), and shaders that render complex dynamic lighting effects on the GPU (pixel shader). AGAL also allows high-quality texture rendering with mip-mapping. AGAL is used extensively in Flash game engines such as Away3D and Flare3D for various effects. AGAL is commonly used to provide dynamic lighting, high dynamic ranging (HDR), alpha masking, multipass rendering, displacement mapping, and environment mapping. Flare3D extends AGAL with a proprietary Shader language called FLSL (FLare3D Shader Language), that makes writing Shader programs easier. HLAG is another example of a high-level Shader language that compiles into AGAL.

When porting C++ 3D video games for playback in Adobe Flash Player, developers must translate traditional HLSL and GLSL shaders into AGAL. The C++ video game code can be converted into Flash-compatible code using CrossBridge.

title: Brazilians in France

text:
Brazilians in France number approximately 153,700 and form the largest immigrant group from Latin America in France. Nearly half of them live in French Guiana, including many who have crossed the border illegally.

History

Background
The ancestral origins of the Brazilian nation show recent ancestors of generations predominantly as Italians and Portuguese, but with strong  African, Spanish, Japanese, German, British, French, Native American, Slavic and Semitic components, making most Brazilians able to join the European Union. However, they faced very different legal circumstances that Portugal and Italy had long before they joined the EU migration policy, thousands of people a day come to the consulates of Portugal to process the new nationality or obtain a visa; nevertheless, they are not the most numerous among Latin American immigrants in Europe.

title: My Little Pony Collectible Card Game

text:
The My Little Pony Collectible Card Game (abbreviated as MLPCCG) is a two-player collectible card game based on the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It is produced by Enterplay LLC under license from Hasbro, and follows from Enterplay's previous work to produce a trading card series based on the same show.

The game requires each player to form a deck with one "Mane" character, 10 Problem cards that earn the players points when solved, and many other cards representing Friends, Resources, and other concepts; these cards are based on characters and other elements from the series. The goal is to play cards from one's hand to face off against any Problems put forth by either player, scoring points for doing so. The player to score a set number of points first is declared the winner. The game is distributed in pre-made one- or two-deck starter packs, and booster packs to expand a player's library. Since its release, the game has received seven major expansions and several themed decks.

The game has generally been well-received, providing an easy-to-learn experience for both the younger demographic of the show as well as the older players including the adult and male fans of the series. Enterplay has stated the game has sold well in the hobby store market and have arranged for various tournaments in such stores and fan conventions.

Gameplay
MLPCCG is a two-player game, with each player using a set of cards. One card is a Mane character printed on both sides, exactly 10 cards are Problem cards which are kept in a separate draw pile, and the remaining are various Friends, Resources, Events, and Troublemakers; there must be a minimum of 45 of these cards for a legal deck. Each Mane and Friend card are associated with one of six colors, representing the show's six main characters – Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy – and their respective Elements of Harmony, and a numerical power value. Friends, Resources, Events, and Troublemakers have various power costs associated to play or face those cards, a combination of action tokens (earned during play) and colored power required (based on what cards the player has in play already). Problems have two sets of values, one based on colored power requirements representing what the owner needs to face the Problems, and general power that their opponent needs to face the Problem. Both Problems and Troublemakers include point values representing scoring elements for the game.

Players set up the game by placing their Mane character in their Start state, drawing and placing a Problem card from that pile, and dealing themselves their hand from the remaining deck. On each turn, players earn a number of action tokens (at least 2) based on their current score. They can then play cards from their hand to their "home" space (not challenging any Problem) with what action tokens they have, and then move any of their Mane or Friends to one of the Problem cards, as long as they have met the specific requirements. As long as a player has faced a problem unopposed, they earn a point towards their score, as well as bonus points if they are first at a problem. If a player moves their Mane or Friends to a Problem that is already challenged, a face off occurs between the two sides, the winner determined by the combined value of the cards on both sides. The winner earns additional points, and the Problem is then subsequently removed and replaced by the owner with a new Problem. The first player to earn 15 points is the winner.

Additional cards and abilities can be used to influence the results of facing against Problems. The Mane character has a specific condition that allows the player to flip the card to its Boosted side that provides improved abilities and bonuses for that player. Resources can modify the power and abilities of a given Friend card. Events can be used to perform one-time actions that can include playing additional cards, gaining action tokens, or "exhausting" an opponent's Friend to remove that card from a Problem. Troublemakers are played onto Problems that prevent the opponent from facing the Problem until they win a faceoff against the Troublemaker card.

As a collectible card game, MLPCCG is shipped as a number of pre-made decks with 59 cards, each focused around one of the main characters, and 12-card booster packs. Cards have various rarities, included limited foil editions of some cards. Players can construct their deck from all available cards with some restrictions on including duplicate cards.

Development and release
Prior to developing the game, Enterplay was licensed by Hasbro to print a series of standard trading cards based on the Friendship Is Magic property. The trading cards were popular particularly with the older brony fandom creating high aftermarket value, leading to the development of a second and third series of the cards.

Enterplay announced the CCG in August 2013, with the first premiere sets and boosters shipping on December 13, 2013. Enterplay also published additional material for the card game, such as binders and playmats. Since its release, Enterplay has released nine major expansions, several themed packs, and promotional cards available through conventions and tourneys.

Enterplay has collaborated with various hobby and game stores and conventions such as GenCon and BronyCon to host MLPCCG tournaments, with special cards and prizes for the winners.

Reception
U.S. Gamer rated the game four out of five stars, calling the game an "enjoyable and solid two-player game" with good flexibility and accessible for players of all ages, with their primary criticism about the poor instruction booklet included with the game. Kotaku editor Mike Fahey stated that the game is "not Hearthstone, but it's pretty damn entertaining once you know what's going on".

Enterplay's President Dean Irwin stated that the sales of the premiere releases were very positive, selling well within the hobby game market, in contrast to the trading cards which did well in the mass retail store market. The popularity of the premiere release forced Enterplay to reprint the set by mid-February 2014.

title: Touch Me (Willie Nelson song)

text:
"Touch Me" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer Willie Nelson. Leveraged by the success of his songs, Nelson moved to Nashville in 1960. Through songwriter Harlan Howard, Nelson was signed to write for Pamper Music, and to a recording contract with Liberty Records.

Nelson recorded the song during his first recording session with producer Joe Allison in August 1961. "Touch Me" was released as his second single for the label. Following the success of his previous top-ten duet with Shirley Collie, the song reached number seven on Billboard's Hot Country Singles, becoming Nelson's first solo chart success.

Background
During his time in Houston, Nelson sold his original "Family Bible", that turned into a hit for Claude Gray. Despite that he was not credited as the songwriter on the record, he took advantage of the recognition that the song granted him, and moved to Nashville in 1960. While he joined Ray Price's band as a bass player, his songs became hits for other artists, including "Funny How Time Slips Away" (Billy Walker), "Pretty Paper" (Roy Orbison), and, most famously, "Crazy" by Patsy Cline.

Leveraged by his prominence as a songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee. Nelson met songwriters Harlan Howard and Hank Cochran at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. After hearing original songs by Nelson, including "Touch Me", Howard convinced his superiors at Pamper publishing to hire Nelson as a songwriter for US$50 a-week. Howard later also forwarded Nelson originals producer Joe Allison, who signed Nelson to Liberty Records in 1961.

Recording and release
Nelson entered his first session at Liberty's Nashville studio on August 22, 1961, at Quonset Hut studio. Nelson was backed by guitarists Kelso Herston, Ray Edenton (who also played fiddle), Harold Bradley and Grady Martin; drummer Buddy Harman, pianist Hargus "Pig" Robbins, bassist Joe Zinkan and the Anita Kerr singers. During the night, until the early hours of the following day Nelson recorded "Touch Me", for a later single release. Allison was not pleased with the results of the session.

Following the success of his top-ten duet "Willingly", "Touch Me" was released in May 1962, coupled with "Where My House Lives" on the B-side. The single entered Billboard's Hot Country Singles, and peaked at number seven. Billboard's April review described the song as an "Interesting country-styled tune with good lyrics [...] warbled with quiet charm by Nelson". The publication rated it with four stars, declaring that the  release had "appeal for both pop and country & western".

"Touch Me" was the same year included on Nelson's debut album ...And Then I Wrote. The single release became Nelson's first chart success as a solo artist, while it would become Nelson's last top ten hit in thirteen years until the release of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" in 1975.

Chart performance

Cover Versions
The song was subsequently covered by Dottie West in 1963 and released as a single the same year. It was her first single release with RCA Victor Records and was produced by Chet Atkins. West's version did not enter any Billboard charts nor did it originally appear on an album.

title: Falubaz Zielona Góra (football)

text:
KS Falubaz Zielona Góra was a football team founded by speedway fans of Falubaz in 2010. They started from the bottom of the football pyramid in the local amateur divisions. However, they have been promoted every year since their existence, four promotions in a row and started the 2014–15 season in IV liga, the fifth tier.

In the 2014–15 season, the club took first place in IV liga but formally resigned from the promotion and the club was withdrawn from all competitions.  The club was reformed on the basis of UKP Zielona Góra which was already in that league and therefore Falubaz de facto kept its league place and continued its existence, despite formally reforming on the basis of another club. They continued until 2019, after winning the league  when the club was handed over and formed the basis of the revival of the city's historic team Lechia Zielona Góra, itself the original basis of UKP Zielona Góra; Lechia continued Falubaz's place in the league pyramid.

title: 64 Serpentis

text:
64 Serpentis is a single, blue-white hued star in Serpens Cauda, the eastern segment of the equatorial constellation of Serpens. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.56, it is a dim star but visible to the naked eye in good seeing conditions. Based upon an annual parallax shift of , it is located roughly 1,100 light years away. It is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of about −10 km/s. It is one of the brightest stars in front of the Great Rift.

Over time this star has received a range of stellar classifications, which varied considerably in the determined luminosity class. Houk and Swift (1999) have it classified as B8/9 II, Slettebak (1982) listed a class of B8 IV, Cowley (1972) has , while Frémat et al. (2006) gave it a classification of B8 III. Despite these assignments, it is still considered to be in the main sequence phase. An overshoot of the convective core due to internal waves and rotational effects are believed to be mixing in fresh hydrogen and removing helium ashes, which is extending the duration of its stay on the main sequence. It may be chemically peculiar, displaying an overabundance of mercury (Hg) in its outer atmosphere.

64 Serpentis was observed extensively during the CoRoT mission, which allowed highly accurate monitoring of its brightness. This revealed that the star displays low-amplitude variations with the main frequency being 1.56 days long, while it has smaller variations with other frequencies. These variations may be due to rotational modulation of spots or clouds in the photosphere, or possibly from non-radial pulsations. It does not exhibit the signature of a significant magnetic field.

This is a classical Be star – a rapidly rotating B-type main sequence star that has formed an orbiting gaseous disk through a mass ejection process. The circling gas is heated by the star, creating the Balmer line emission that overlays the stellar spectrum. The rapid rotation gives the star an oblate shape with a prominent equatorial bulge. 64 Serpentis is about 170 million years old with roughly 4.4 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 724 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 12,000 K.

title: Andrés Goddzer

text:
Andrés "Andy" Goddzer is a fictional character in the 2012 Argentine telenovela Graduados (Graduates). He is played by Daniel Hendler, both as an adult and, in flashbacks, as a teenager. Hendler won two awards for his work as the character.

Fictional biography
Andrés Goddzer attended high school in the 1980s, graduating in 1989. He had fallen in love with fellow student María Laura Falsini (Nancy Dupláa), the girlfriend of Pablo Catáneo (Luciano Cáceres). Catáneo cheated on Falsini during their graduation party, so she broke up with him and left with Andrés. They had sex in his car and she became pregnant. As everybody assumed that María Laura was pregnant with  Catáneo's child, her father forced them to get married and get jobs; Andrés, the real father of María Laura's child did not know about this. Andrés stayed friends with fellow students Benjamín "Tuca" Pardo (Mex Urtizberea) and Verónica Diorio (Julieta Ortega), who ran a radio station that played 1980s Argentine rock music.

Andrés met María Laura again 18 years later. A DNA test confirmed that he was the biological father of Martín (Gastón Soffritti), María Laura's son. The plots involving Goddzer usually focused on his newly discovered paternity, his renewed love for María Laura, his rivalry with Pablo Catáneo, his passion for rock music and his lack of interest in working.

Character creation
Initially, Andrés Goddzer was meant to be the main character of Graduados, and the name of the telenovela in the early production stages was "El paseaperros" (). Andy Kusnetzoff was initially cast to play the character, but he left the project to concentrate on his work as a radio host. Mike Amigorena was offered the roles of either Andrés Goddzer or Pablo Catáneo, but rejected both. Daniel Hendler, who had already joined the cast as Benjamín Pardo, eventually switched roles to play Goddzer. Mex Urtizberea joined the cast to play Pardo instead, and Kusnetzoff eventually joined the cast anyway to play another character.

The telenovela includes several flashbacks to the times when the characters attended high school. As with the other characters, Hendler played Andrés Goddzer both as an adult and as a teenager, for comic effect.

Awards
Hendler won the 2012 Tato Award as best actor in daily fiction, and the 2012 Martín Fierro Award as best lead actor in daytime fiction for his work as the character.

title: Leptura quadrifasciata

text:
Leptura quadrifasciata, the longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

Adult beetles are 11–20 mm long, black with four more or less continuous transverse yellow bands. In extreme cases the elytra may be almost entirely black. It is found throughout the northern and central Palaearctic region.

The species is distributed in northern and central regions of Europe and Asia. It is particularly common in Scandinavia, Finland and Great Britain and is typically seen during the summer months.

Larvae make meandering galleries in various trees, including oak, beech, birch, willow, alder, elder and spruce; typically in dead and decaying wood, with a preference for damp areas. The life cycle lasts two or three years.

title: Hybristica

text:
Hybristica was a solemn feast among the Greeks of ancient Argos, with sacrifices and other ceremonies, at which either sex appeared in the dress of the other to do honor to Aphrodite in quality of a god, a goddess, or both. The Hybristica was celebrated at Argos, upon the new moon of the month called by the Argives Hermeas, wherein the women being dressed like men insulted their husbands and treated them with every mark of inferiority, in memory of the Argian defence of their country made by the females under the conduct of Telesilla, against Cleomenes I and Demaratus at the head of the Spartan army.

Plutarch observes that the word hybristica signifies infamy, and adds that it well became the occasion, the women strutting in cloaks, while the men dangled in petticoats.

title: McVicker's Theater

text:
McVicker's Theater (1857–1984) was a playhouse in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Built for actor James Hubert McVicker, the theater was the leading stage for comedic plays in Chicago's early years. It often hosted performances by Edwin Booth, who married McVicker's daughter and was once targeted there in an attempted murder. Adler & Sullivan designed a remodel in 1883. Although destroyed in two fires, including the Great Chicago Fire, McVicker's remained an operating theater until 1984. It was demolished the next year.

History

James Hubert McVicker was born in New York City, New York on February 14, 1822. His father James died shortly after his birth, so he was raised by his mother Nancy and two siblings. He attended some public school before apprenticing as a printer when he was ten. For the next five years, he operated machines in New York printing houses. In October 1837, he was hired as an apprentice for the Republican in St. Louis, Missouri, and was named a journeyman three years later. However he found little enjoyment in the trade and he decided to acquire a classic education.

In 1843, he entered a production at the St. Charles Theater in New Orleans, Louisiana. McVicker traveled to various cities around the country to perform. In April 1848, he settled in Chicago, Illinois. The comedian who had worked at John Blake Rice's theater was just about to leave and Rice offered his position to McVicker. His first performance there was on May 2, 1848, in My Neighbor's Wife. His wife also performed, starring in Hue and Cry. McVicker starred opposite Rice's wife in Lend Me Five Shillings on April 27, 1849.

Two years after the death of Dan Marble, McVicker purchased the right to use his plays from the family estate. He went on a national tour and then toured England in 1855. The next year, McVicker became manager of the People's Theater in St. Louis. The playhouse was very successful and in March 1857 he used the proceeds to establish a new theater in Chicago. McVicker's Theater opened on November 5, 1857, featuring its own stock company performing the comedic plays Honeymoon and Rough Diamond.

Edwin Booth starred in A New Way to Pay Old Debts on May 31, 1858. He would later perform Richelieu, Richard III, and Brutus there, and he married one of McVicker's daughters in 1869. The theater was remodeled in 1864. James Henry Hackett performed as Falstaff in 1865. It was again extensively remodeled in August 1871, but was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire weeks later. However, it was rebuilt, and reopened on August 15, 1872. Mark Gray fired two bullets in an unsuccessful attempt to murder Edwin Booth on April 23, 1879, while the actor was performing Richard II.

Actors and actresses who performed in McVicker's company over the years included James O'Neill, Rossini Vrionides and Robert B. Mantell. McVicker's was remodeled again in 1885 by Adler & Sullivan, but again destroyed in a fire in 1890. The rebuilt theater, designed by the same, opened on March 31, 1891, with a performance of The Rivals featuring Joseph Jefferson, William J. Florence, Louisa Lane Drew, and Viola Allen. McVicker died on March 7, 1896. His widow assumed management until she sold the theater to Jacob Litt on May 1, 1898. The theater was demolished and rebuilt in 1922. Balaban & Katz purchased the building in 1926. It later showed films until it was shut down in 1984. It was demolished the next year.

Decor

The theater's decor, interior design work, steelwork, terracotta and other features were designed by many of Chicago's leading firms including Structural steel work by Albert H. Wolf; mason work by William D. Price; carpentery by Thos. Clark & Sons; ventilation and galvanized iron work by Jas. A. Miller & Bro.; plumbing and electric light fixtures by E. Baggot; painting and decorating by Healy & Millet; carpets and draperies by Marshall Field & Co.; seating by A. H. Andrews & Co.; electric lighting by Chicago Edison Co.; ornamental plasterwork by Schneider & Kline; ornamental iron work by W. H. Cheneworth Co.; tile work and fire-proofing by Illinois Terra Cotta, plain plasterwork by The Mackolite Plaster Co. and Michael Cyr; and bas-relief panels, by I^aSalles. The curtains March Through Illinois and The Fort Dearborn Massacre were by Johannes Gelert; and the principal curtain, Chicago in 1833, by Walter Burridge. The act drop curtain, Reverie of the Future, was by Ernest Albert.

title: Louis Paul Jonas

text:
Louis Paul Jonas (July 17, 1894 – February 16, 1971) was an American sculptor of wildlife, taxidermist, and natural history exhibit designer.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, Jonas moved to the United States at the age of 12 and went to work at his brothers' taxidermy studio, Jonas Brothers, in Denver, Co.  Later he moved to New York City, where he studied under Carl Akeley, a noted field naturalist, taxidermist, and animal sculptor.  There, they created the African elephant group in the center of Akeley Hall at the American Museum of Natural History, in New York.

Jonas opened Louis Paul Jonas Studios, Inc in Mahopac, NY, and eventually moved to Hudson, NY.  The studio was known for its miniature and full size animal sculptures, taxidermy, and natural history exhibits featured in over 50 museums worldwide.

The company created the first full sized dinosaur sculptures for the 1964 New York World's Fair in the "Dinoland" area, which was sponsored by the Sinclair Oil Corporation. Jonas consulted with noted paleontologists Barnum Brown, Edwin H. Colbert and John Ostrom in order to create sculptures that were as accurate as possible. After the Fair closed, the dinosaur models toured the country on special flatbed trailers as part of a company advertising campaign. Many of the statues are now on display at various museums and parks

Sculptures on display
In 1932, Louis Paul Jonas and his brothers created the taxidermy model of the famous Australian race horse Phar Lap that is now on display at the Melbourne Museum.

In 1983, the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. hosted an exhibition of 75 wildlife miniatures created by Jonas.

Dinosaurs

Life-sized fiberglass models of dinosaurs created by Jonas Studios for the 1964 New York World's Fair are on display at:
 The Houston Museum of Natural Science houses a life-sized ankylosaurus statue.
 Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas features the tyrannosaurus rex and brontosaurus models.
 The Quarry Visitor Center at Dinosaur National Monument in Jensen, Utah features a stegosaurus statue.
 The Milwaukee Public Museum houses a struthiomimus statue in its The Third Planet dinosaur display.
 The Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois includes a trachodon sculpture.
 "Uncle Beazley", a model of a triceratops that Jonas designed and constructed for the 1964 New York World's Fair and that appeared in The Enormous Egg television movie in 1968, is on display at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. From the 1970s to 1994, the statue was located on the National Mall in front of the National Museum of Natural History. (Some sources state that the Kentucky Science Center in Louisville (formerly named the "Louisville Museum of Natural History and Science" and the "Louisville Science Center") now owns the triceratops model).

A Jonas Studios sculpture of a stegosaurus, "Steggie II", is located in front of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Another copy, known as "Wally", is located at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Still another is on display at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta.

title: House of Caracciolo

text:
The House of Caracciolo () is a prominent aristocratic family from the city of Naples. The Caracciolos are considered one of the most important families in the history of the Kingdom of Naples, and also held relevant posts in the Spanish Empire.

History
According to a tradition based on the writings of Agatharchides of Cnidos and Sergius the Confessor, the family is of Greek descent, originating from the Byzantine nobility. The first documented mention of the family date back to the 10th century with the progenitor Teodoro Caracciolo, who was reported in ancient documents as Theodorus Caracziolus, of which only archival information is available; he was buried together with his wife Urania in the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary in Naples. He is reported to have died on 20 March 976, the date of a document in which it is learned that in this period his daughter Theodonanda made a donation to the Monastery of Saints Sergius and Bacchus in Naples.

At the time of the Duchy of Naples, the family enjoyed nobility during the reign of the Sergian dynasty, benefiting from special privileges granted by Sergius VII of Naples. The family then divided into numerous lines, including the ancient lines of the likes of Caracciolo Canella, Caracciolo Ugot, Caracciolo Viola, and Caracciolo Ciccola, then into the lines of the likes of the del Sole, Bianchi, Rossi, and Pisquizi. Specifically, Riccardo Caracciolo, son of Landolfo, who lived in the early 12th century, was the progenitor of the Caracciolo Rossi. Caracciolo Pisquizi Filippo, also son of Landolfo, was the progenitor of the branch of the Caracciolo del Sole and that of the Caracciolo di Pisciotta.

In 1869, the family was enrolled in the Libro d'Oro, the Golden Book of the Italian nobility. Thanks to the great importance of the Caracciolo family, most of the most important events of the Kingdom of Naples had various members of the family as protagonists, sometimes even on opposing fronts.

title: Zenevisi family

text:
The Zenevisi () ( 1304–1460), were a Albanian noble family. They governed territories in Epirus and were centred in Gjirokastër.

Gjon Zenebishi was one of the most notable members of this family. Between 1373 and 1414, he controlled Gjirokastër and its surroundings. After the Ottomans captured the region of Epirus, some members of the family fled to Morea, while other members held high positions within the Ottoman hierarchy.

History

Early history

The "Zenevias", probably the Zenebishi, are mentioned in 1304 as one of the families that were granted privileges by the Angevin Philip I, Prince of Taranto. According to Robert Elsie, the family originated from the Zagoria region between Gjirokastër and Përmet, in modern-day southern Albania.

In 1381 and 1384, the Catholic lords of Arta asked the Ottoman troops for protection against the invading Albanians under the Zenebishi; the Ottomans routed the raiders and restored order in Epirus.

Gjon Zenebishi is one of the most notable members of this family. Like many contemporary Balkan rulers who were under the cultural influence of the Byzantine Empire, he adopted a title from the Byzantine court hierarchy for himself, that of sevastokrator.

In 1399, during the battle of Mesopotamos, the Zenebishi defeated the army of Esau Buondelmonti. The Zenebishi captured the archontes of Ioannina and took Esau Buondelmonti hostage. This victory would mark the heyday of the Zenebishi clan, which would last until 1418. During this time, the Zenebishi clan annexed Saiata and Dryïnoupolis and made Gjirokastër the capital of their territory.
During the Ottoman Interregnum (1402–13), Zenebishi lost territory to the Republic of Venice; most of the mainland territories across from the Venetian possession of Corfu were taken.

Ottoman period
Members of this family (as well as of the Arianiti and Muzaka clans) that initially resisted Ottoman expansion converted to Islam, while some of them rose to high positions within the Ottoman military and feudal hierarchy. The Ottomans besieged and took control of Gjirokaster, the capital of the Zenebishi lands, in 1418, and Gjon Zenebishi was killed in 1418 or 1419 by the Ottomans. The territory that the Zenebishi controlled before their submission to the Ottomans was registered in an Ottoman defter (tax register) of 1431 as "the lands of Zenebishi" ().
After the annexation of their territories by the Ottomans, the remaining members of the Zenebishi clan emigrated to Morea.

In 1443, Simon Zenebishi, Gjon's grandson, built the Strovili fortress with Venetian approval and support. In 1454–55, Simon Zenebishi was recognized by Alphonso V as a vassal of the Kingdom of Naples.

Gjon's son, known after his conversion to Islam as Hasan Bey, was a subaşi in Tetovo in 1455. The other son of Gjon, whose Muslim name was Hamza Zenebishi, was an Ottoman military commander who defeated the forces of the Despots of the Morea besieging Patras in 1459. In 1460, following the Ottoman conquest of the Morea, he became a sanjakbey of the Sanjak of Mezistre.

Members
John Zenevisi had the following descendants:

 A1. Anna ("Kyrianna"), Lady of Grabossa; married Andrea III Musachi (fl. 1419)
 A2. Maria, +after 1419; married Perotto d'Altavilla, the Baron of Corfu (+1445)
 A3. Thopia Zenevisi (d. 1435), Lord of Gjirokastër (1418–34), deposed by the Ottomans
 B1. Simone Zenevisi, Lord of the Strovilo (1443–61), deposed by the Ottomans
 C1. Alfonso (fl. 1456), an Ottoman political hostage who fled to Naples and became a Napolitan vassal
 C2. Alessandro ("Lech"), Lord of Strovilo, which he then sold to Venice in 1473
 C3. Filippo served Alessandro
 A4. Hamza Zenevisi ("Amos", fl. 1456-60), an Ottoman political hostage, he was converted into Islam and entered Ottoman service. In 1460, he became a sanjakbey of the Sanjak of Mezistre.
 A5. Hasan Zenevisi , subaşi in Tetovo in 1455.
