title: Tom Rolf

text:
Ernst Ragnar Rolf (December 31, 1931 – July 14, 2014), better known as Tom Rolf, was a Swedish-born American film editor who worked on at least 48 feature films in a career spanning over fifty years. Most notable among these films are Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, for which he was nominated for the 1976 BAFTA Award for Best Editing, and Philip Kaufman's The Right Stuff, for which he and his editing team won the 1983 Oscar for Best Film Editing. Other notable films he edited include WarGames, Jacob's Ladder, Heat and The Horse Whisperer.

A member of the American Cinema Editors (ACE) since the mid-1950s, Rolf served two terms as president of that guild. He also served on the Board of Governors at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for five terms (15 years), representing the editing branch from 1992 through 2007. He received the ACE Career Achievement Award in 2003.

Personal life
Ernst R. Rolf was born in Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden on New Year's Eve, 1931, the son of actor Ernst Rolf and Norwegian-born actress Tutta Rolf. After his father's death in 1932, Tutta married American director and choreographer Jack Donohue, who advised the young Ernst to go into film editing.

Rolf worked as a ski patrolman and was a seaman for the Norwegian Merchant Marine before emigrating to the United States, after which he spent three years in the United States Marine Corps. He considered pursuing a career as a film director like his step-father, but Donohue convinced him to first try his hand at film editing, telling him he would "learn everything about directing by being a film editor first."

On July 14, 2014, Rolf died at his home in France due to complications following hip surgery. He was 82.

Editing career

Early years, Levy-Gardiner-Laven and first films of the '70s
At the start of his career, Rolf spent a then-required eight years serving as an apprentice and assistant editor. One of Rolf's earliest jobs as an editor was the 1959 Swedish-American co-production Space Invasion of Lapland. Among the films he worked on as an assistant editor was Levy-Gardner-Laven's 1962 Western Geronimo. Levy-Gardner-Laven later made Rolf one of the head editors of their 1965 Western, The Glory Guys; Rolf's editing partner on this film was Melvin Shapiro, with whom Rolf would work again on Taxi Driver over ten years later.

When Levy-Gardner-Laven began production on the Western television series The Big Valley, they brought in Rolf to serve as one of the editors of the show. He edited nine episodes of the first season, which ran from 1965 to 1966. At the start of the second season, in 1966, he became the show's editorial coordinator, a position he held until the series ended in 1969. In 1967, starting with the third season of The Big Valley, he took on the name "Tom Rolf."

Rolf's first feature film as a solo editor was another Levy-Gardner-Laven production, the 1967 Elvis Presley picture Clambake. Rolf worked on a few more Levy-Gardner-Laven productions, including the 1970 releases Underground (which, like Clambake, was directed by Arthur H. Nadel) and The McKenzie Break. The latter was the first of four films Rolf would edit for director Lamont Johnson; their subsequent collaborations were The Last American Hero (1973), Visit to a Chief's Son (1974) and the 1975 TV movie Fear on Trial. Rolf also edited two 1973 releases for Richard C. Sarafian: Lolly-Madonna XXX and The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing.

Mid-to-late 1970s: Scorsese, Schrader and Frankenheimer
The turning point in Rolf's career came in 1975 when he and Melvin Shapiro were recruited by director Martin Scorsese to edit his crime drama Taxi Driver. Released in 1976, Taxi Driver was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and has come to be considered one of the greatest films of all time. The film also received three BAFTA Awards and  four BAFTA nominations, including one for Rolf, Shapiro, and Marcia Lucas for Best Editing. Scorsese hired Rolf again for his next film, the 1977 musical New York, New York, before Scorsese began working with his regular editor, Thelma Schoonmaker.

Paul Schrader, the writer of Taxi Driver, was so impressed with Rolf that he hired him for his directorial debut, the 1978 drama film Blue Collar, and recruited Rolf again for his second feature, Hardcore. Rolf also edited three films for director John Frankenheimer in the mid-to-late 1970s: French Connection II (1975), Black Sunday (1977) and Prophecy (1979).

The 1980s and beyond
After co-editing Michael Cimino's infamous box office flop Heaven's Gate, Rolf joined the editing team of Philip Kaufman's space race drama The Right Stuff. The film was a critical (if not commercial) success and picked up four Academy Awards, including Best Editing for Rolf and his fellow editors, Glenn Farr, Lisa Fruchtman, Stephen A. Rotter and Douglas Stewart.

Rolf and the Right Stuff editing team were also nominated for an "Eddie" Award from American Cinema Editors (ACE). Although they did not win the award, Rolf himself won that year for his solo work on John Badham's WarGames. According to editor Mark Goldblatt, Rolf's very first cut of WarGames so satisfied Badham that the director signed off on it immediately with no additional notes for the editor. Badham later recruited Rolf for his 1987 crime-comedy Stakeout, though this time the editor was paired up with Michael Ripps.

For director Adrian Lyne, Rolf edited 1986's 9½ Weeks and 1990's Jacob's Ladder. The latter is considered by some, including author and film scholar Vincent LoBrutto, to be a landmark in film editing due to the intricacies and complexities involved in cutting the picture and because it "furthered the montage style of editing and allowed filmmakers to strive for new forms." In 2010, Rolf told The Hollywood Reporter that Jacob's Ladder was the film he enjoyed working on the most, stating he was "very proud of that one."

Rolf also edited or co-edited two films each for Douglas Day Stewart (Thief of Hearts and Quicksilver) and Alan J. Pakula (The Pelican Brief and The Devil's Own). Additionally, he edited two television productions for Lawrence Schiller: the 1981 movie The Executioner's Song and the 2000 miniseries Perfect Murder, Perfect Town. Other notable films which were edited or co-edited by Rolf include Ridley Scott's Black Rain (1989), Michael Mann's Heat (1995), Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer (1998), John Woo's Windtalkers and Kurt Wimmer's Equilibrium (both 2002).

In 2003, Rolf re-teamed with Blue Collar and Hardcore director Paul Schrader to work on Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. It was released in 2005, though Rolf did not receive on-screen credit. The last film Rolf edited was the Russian Alexander Kolchak biopic Admiral, released in 2008.

title: Donald Green

text:
Donald Philip Green (born June 23, 1961) is a political scientist and quantitative methodologist at Columbia University. Green's primary research interests lie in the development of statistical methods for field experiments and their application to American voting behavior.

Biography
In 1983, Green graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in political science and history from UCLA. In 1984 he earned an M.A. and in 1988 a Ph.D. in political science at the University of California, Berkeley for thesis titled Self-interest, public opinion, and mass political behavior.

Green's career in academia began in 1989, when he became an assistant professor in the department of political science at Yale University. He was there until 2011, when he moved to Columbia University. At Yale, he also served as the director of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, Yale's center for interdisciplinary research in the social sciences and public policy, from 1996 to 2011.

To date, Green has authored or coauthored four books and over 100 journal articles and book chapters. The varied topics of his scholarship include experimental research methods, voter turnout and persuasion, political party identification, prejudice and hate crime, rational choice theory, public opinion, and statistical methods.

He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and was awarded the Heinz I. Eulau Award for best article published in the American Political Science Review during 2009. He is an affiliate of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab.

In December 2014, Green and UCLA graduate student Michael LaCour published a highly publicized study, When contact changes minds, on attitudes towards same-sex marriage, in Science. In May 2015, however, Green requested that the article be withdrawn after colleagues and former students identified misrepresentations and data "irregularities" in the paper.

In 2016, Green was appointed the John William Burgess Professor at Columbia University. He was named Faculty Advisor of the Year by Columbia's Political Science Graduate Student Council.

Inventions
Donald Green has designed several boardgames. Green has invented OCTI, OCTI-for-Kids, Jumpin' Java, Mouse Island, Razzle Dazzle, Knight Moves, Fishpond Mancala, and Dupe. In 1999, OCTI was named "Best Abstract Strategy Game of the Year" by Games magazine.

title: Ilir Latifi

text:
Ilir Latifi (born July 28, 1983) is a Swedish mixed martial artist who fights in the Heavyweight division, most recently in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A two-time national wrestling champion and a professional MMA competitor since 2008, Latifi has also competed in Shark Fights, Rumble of The Kings, and GLORY.

Mixed martial arts career

Background
With a considerable number of wrestlers in his family, Latifi began wrestling at a young age. Latifi continued to wrestle in order to pursue his dream of one day being world champion. In 2005, he began to follow in his older brother's footsteps by training MMA as a result of his dissatisfaction with the constant rule changes in wrestling. Latifi competed at the 2005 ADCC European trials, where his division was won by Alistair Overeem, but he did not earn a spot at the 2005 ADCC championships. Although Latifi did not compete at the 2009 ADCC European Trials, he was invited to the 2009 ADCC Championships, where he lost in the first round to Alexandre Ribeiro via points (2–0).

Early career
Latifi started his career as a heavyweight. His first professional MMA fight was on May 17, 2008, with the Real Pain Challenge promotion against future Bellator fighter and WSOF Heavyweight champion Blagoi Ivanov. However, the fight was ruled a no contest 55 seconds into the first round, as Latifi drove Ivanov into one of the posts on the ring and destroyed it.

Next he fought future UFC heavyweight Christian Colombo on September 6, 2008. The bout was first booked as a professional contest, but would later be changed to an amateur or semi-pro bout which is not listed on the fighters professional records. Latifi won the fight by submission due to a north–south choke in the first round. Back in professional competition Latifi had his last fight as a heavyweight, before dropping down to light heavyweight, on October 25, 2008, at Superior Challenge 2, where he defeated Roman Mihocka by knockout in the second round.

He holds a notable win over MMA- and kickboxing veteran Tony Lopez. Lopez came in to the fight on a 7-fight winning streak. Latifi used his superior wrestling and also his improved striking to shut Lopez down to win a unanimous decision. He has also fought against former Bellator Light Heavyweight champion and former MFC Light Heavyweight Champion Emanuel Newton and Tatsuya Mizuno. His early career success has led to Latifi being ranked as one of the top Light Heavyweights in Europe.

He became the first Superior Challenge Light Heavyweight Champion after defeating Jorge Oliveira for the vacant belt on October 6, 2012, at Superior Challenge 8.

Ultimate Fighting Championship
Latifi made his UFC debut against at the time #10 ranked, former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Gegard Mousasi on April 6, 2013, at UFC on Fuel TV 9, on four days notice, reportedly cutting weight from 105 kg (231 lbs) to 93.4 kg (206 lbs), replacing his injured training partner Alexander Gustafsson. Latifi lost the fight via unanimous decision. After the fight UFC President Dana White praised Latifi for taking a fight against a top 10 fighter like Mousasi on such short notice and promised that Latifi would get another fight in the promotion.

In his second fight for the promotion, Latifi fought MMA- and kickboxing veteran Cyrille Diabaté on March 8, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 37. Latifi won the fight via submission in the first round. His opponent, Diabaté retired from MMA and the UFC following his loss to Latifi.

Latifi was later expected to face Tom Lawlor on July 19, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 46. However, Lawlor later had to withdraw from the bout citing an injury, and was replaced by promotional newcomer Chris Dempsey. Latifi effectively used leg kicks to disable his opponent, before finishing him with punches, ending the fight via first-round knockout.

Latifi faced promotional newcomer Jan Błachowicz on October 4, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 53. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.

Latifi next faced Hans Stringer on July 18, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 72. He won the fight by knockout after dropping Stringer with an overhand right and following up with punches on the ground, stopping the fight 56 seconds into the first round.

Latifi faced Sean O'Connell on January 17, 2016, at UFC Fight Night 81. He won the fight by knockout, having landed a vicious overhand right that wobbled O'Connell, followed by a right hook that dropped him to the canvas, 28 seconds into the first round. Following the fight, Latifi expressed his desire to fight in a main event in his hometown Malmö.

Latifi faced Gian Villante on March 5, 2016, at UFC 196. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Latifi next faced Ryan Bader on September 3, 2016, at UFC Fight Night 93. He lost the fight via knockout in the second round.

Latifi was expected to face Antônio Rogério Nogueira on June 25, 2017, at UFC Fight Night 112. However, on May 17, it was announced that Nogueira pulled out due to a neck injury. Subsequently, despite having six weeks to secure a replacement opponent, promotion officials elected to remove Latifi from the event entirely.

Latifi faced undefeated prospect Tyson Pedro on September 9, 2017, at UFC 215. He won the fight via unanimous decision, handing Pedro the first loss of his career.

Latifi was expected to face Ovince Saint Preux on January 27, 2018, at UFC on Fox 27. However, he was injured during a training session and was forced to pull from the event, and the bout was cancelled. The pair was rebooked and took place on February 24, 2018, at UFC on Fox 28. Latifi won the fight via submission in the first round. This win earned him the Performance of the Night bonus.

Latifi was expected to face Glover Teixeira on July 22, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 134. However, on July 5, 2018, it was announced that he was pulled from the event, citing injury.

Latifi faced Corey Anderson on December 29, 2018, at UFC 232. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Latifi was expected to face Volkan Oezdemir on June 1, 2019, at UFC Fight Night 153. On May 30, 2019, it was reported that Latifi was forced to pull out of the event due to back injury and the bout was cancelled. The pair was rebooked at UFC on ESPN 5 on August 3, 2019. In turn, due to Oezdemir having visa issues to enter United States, the bout was moved to August 10, 2019, at UFC Fight Night 156.  He lost the fight via knockout in the second round.

Move up to heavyweight
On October 14, 2019, news surfaced that Latifi will be moving up to heavyweight division.

Latifi faced Derrick Lewis on February 8, 2020, at UFC 247. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Latifi faced Tanner Boser on June 5, 2021, at UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai. He won the fight via split decision.

Latifi was next expected to face Alexander Romanov at UFC Fight Night 202 on February 19, 2022. However, the bout was cancelled for undisclosed reasons.

Latifi was scheduled to face Alexey Oleynik on March 26, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 205. However, the day of the event, Latifi withdrew due to illness and the bout was cancelled. The pair was rescheduled to meet on two weeks later at UFC 273 on April 9, 2022. In turn, Latifi withdrew again for unknown reasons and was replaced by Jared Vanderaa. The pair was yet again rescheduled for UFC Fight Night 211 on October 1, 2022. Latifi won the bout via unanimous decision. In the post-fight interview he said that, having reached the age of 40 and the end of his UFC contract, he was unsure of his future in the sport, and that it might have been his last fight. In the same interview he revealed fighting with possible staph infection which he didn't disclose to the athletic commission and was later suspended for three months, making him eligible to return on January 1, 2023.

Latifi faced Rodrigo Nascimento on May 20, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 223. He lost the fight via split decision.

After the loss, Latifi completed his UFC contract and was not re-signed.

Personal life
Of Albanian origin, Latifi's parents emigrated from Kosovo in the 1960s. Latifi was raised in Rosengård, where he befriended football player Zlatan Ibrahimović. His brother Arben, who Ilir has described as his greatest influence in life, is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and was one of the pioneers of Swedish MMA in the early days, winning both the championship in European Open BJJ and the Panamerican Championship during his active career.

In 2016, Latifi was awarded role model of the year and received the most votes for the people's choice award in the annual Swedish martial arts awards ceremony Kampsportsgalan.

The Master of the Small Landscapes (in Dutch: Meester van de Kleine Landschappen) was a Flemish artist from the mid-16th century known for his landscape drawings.  The name of this unidentified artist is derived from a series of 44 prints of landscapes that were created after the artist’s drawings, some of which have been preserved.  Together with the work of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the drawings of the Master played an important role in the evolution of Northern Renaissance landscape art from the world landscape into an independent genre.

Publication history
The prints were published by Hieronymus Cock in Antwerp in two series.  The first series was published in 1559 with the title Multifarium casularum ruriumque lineamenta curiose ad vivum expressa (translated as: 'Many and very beautiful places of diverse village dwellings, homesteads, files, streets, and such like, and furnished with all sorts of small animals. Altogether drawn from life and primarily located around Antwerp').  The first series contained 14 sheets.

The second series was published in 1561 with the title Praediorum villarum et rusticarum caularum icons elegantissimi ('Elegant pictures of country manours, villas and cottages drawn from life in copper plates'). The second series contained 30 sheets.  An edition of both volumes together also appeared 1561.

A third edition was published by Philips Galle in 1601 in Antwerp under the title  Regiunculae et villae aliquot ducatus Brabantiae a. P. Breughelio delineatae et in pictorum gratiam a Nicolao Joannis Piscatore excusae et in lucem editae, Amstelodami ('Small Counties and Villages primarily in the duchy of Brabant').  His son Theodoor Galle published the series again a few years later (probably in 1610).  In 1612 Claes Jansz. Visscher published a further edition of 26 of the original 44 views in Amsterdam.   Visscher created a new title page and added two additional prints at the end of the series.

The first two editions by Cock were not particularly successful but the 1601 Galle edition, on the other hand, was quite successful.

Attribution of the drawings and prints
The publications of Cock did not name the artist responsible for the designs.  The original title page only stated that the landscapes were drawn from nature in the vicinity of Antwerp.  Philips Galle's 1601 edition attributed the designs to Cornelis Cort while Claes Jansz. Visscher described them as 'some country farms and cottages of the duchy of Brabant, drawn by P. Bruegel'.  These attributions to Cort and Bruegel are now generally regarded as unsubstantiated.

The following candidates have been proposed for identification with the Master of the Small Landscapes: Hieronymus Cock, Cornelis van Dalem, Hans Bol and .   Some scholars have divided the authorship of the Small Landscapes drawings between two or more artists.  Others believe the artist to be an unknown, independent master.

The original prints were probably engraved by Jan and Lucas van Doetechum. The later Dutch reprint contained engravings by Claes Jansz. Visscher himself as the original plates for the series had remained in Antwerp in the possession of the Galle publishing house.  Visscher made changes to the original prints by reducing their size, cropping the images and making alterations to the staffage.  He changed or moved the original figures and added new figures.

The drawings

Many of the drawings that formed the basis for the series of prints have been preserved and are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Harvard Art Museums, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and Chatsworth House.

Art historical significance

The works of the Master of the small landscapes constitute an important link in the evolution of the landscape into an independent genre.  The landscape as developed in the first half of the 16th century by Netherlandish artists such as Joachim Patinir is referred to as 'world landscape'.  These world landscapes represented imaginary panoramic landscapes seen from an elevated viewpoint and usually included a Biblical or historical narrative.  Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s 'Large Landscapes' published by Hieronymus Cock in the mid 1550s included non-narrative world landscapes as well as religious subjects.  A further evolution was the series of 'Landscapes with Biblical and Mythological Scenes' published in 1558 by Hieronymus Cock after designs by his brother Matthys Cock.  This series showed that there was an increased interest in landscapes with serious subjects but without any need for consistency of either religious or mythological themes.

The series of the Small Landscapes was published the next year.  Rather than the imaginary, distant landscapes with religious content of the world landscape, the series consisted of close-up renderings at eye-level of identifiable country estates and villages populated with figures engaged in daily activities.  By abandoning the panoramic viewpoint of the world landscape and focusing on the humble, rural and even topographical, the Small Landscapes set the stage for Netherlandish landscape painting in the 17th century.  The Small Landscapes depicted real rather than imaginary landscapes and some of their subjects have been identified.  After the publication of the Small Landscapes, landscape artists either continued with the world landscape or followed the new mode presented by the Small Landscapes.

This evolution in the representation of the landscape reflected a shift in the clientele for art towards the urban middle-class, who regarded both the countryside and its peasants from a hierarchical distance as well as a pleasurable condescension and even humor.  It also represented a philosophical move towards a humanist view of the world as reflected by the humanist philosopher Desiderius Erasmus in his work the 'Antibarbarians', which glorified the enjoyment of a 'sancta rusticitas' (holy rusticity) in the countryside as a means to cultivate true wisdom.

title: John Metcalfe (librarian)

text:
John Metcalfe (16 May 1901 – 7 February 1982) was an Australian librarian, educator and author. He was the Principal Librarian at the Public Library of New South Wales (now State Library of New South Wales) from 1942 until 1958 and University Librarian at the University of New South Wales from 1959–1966. He was involved in the establishment and development of the Australian Institute of Librarians (AIL), the Free Library Movement and education for librarianship in Australia.

Early life
John Wallace Metcalfe was born on 16 May 1901 at Blackburn, Lancashire to Henry Harwood Metcalfe, a paper-bag maker, and his wife Lilian, née Wilcock.  The family migrated to Australia, via New Zealand, settling in Sydney in 1911. Metcalfe attended Marrickville Superior Public School and Fort Street Boys High School he later attended the University of Sydney. Metcalfe married Thelma Constance Vagg on 3 March 1934 at St Matthew's Church of England, Manly.

Career
Metcalfe began his career working in the New South Wales State Department of Taxation in 1917 for a few weeks before taking a position as a junior library assistant in the Fisher Library at the University of Sydney.

The Public Library of New South Wales
In 1923 Metcalfe was appointed to the Public Library of New South Wales. William Ifould, the Principal Librarian, took an interest in Metcalfe's career and mentored him. Metcalfe was promoted to the newly created position of deputy principal librarian in 1932.

In November 1933 John Metcalfe presented a paper about the state of libraries in Australia to the Federal Library Conference held in Melbourne. This paper was given to Ralph Munn and Ernest Pitt who had been funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1934 to tour and inspect Australian libraries and to publish their report. In July 1934 Metcalfe was offered a travel grant of £2,000 by the Carnegie Corporation which allowed him to inspect libraries in the USA and Great Britain. The report from his trip was widely circulated.

Metcalfe contributed to the development of free public libraries in New South Wales, providing technical advice to the Free Library Movement (FLM), a citizens' lobby group advocating for free public libraries. As secretary for the Libraries Advisory Committee, established by the New South Wales government, Metcalfe helped to draft a bill, which became the basis for the New South Wales Library Act, 1939.

In 1937 Metcalfe helped found the first local professional association of librarians, the Australian Institute of Librarians (AIL), drafting much of its constitution, and was its first honorary general secretary. He designed the AIL examinations that set the first national professional standards for librarianship in Australia. The Public Library of New South Wales provided the first formal Australian library school, commencing in 1939, Metcalfe wrote most of its textbooks.

In 1942 Metcalfe succeeded William Ifould as Principal Librarian at the Public Library of New South Wales and from 1944 he was the executive member of the Library Board of New South Wales.

In 1947 Metcalfe represented Australia at the second United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization general conference in Mexico City, chairing a working party on public libraries.

Metcalfe opposed censorship, appearing before the Supreme Court of Queensland in a case involving 'objectionable' comics in 1955.

In October 1956, Metcalfe was seconded to the University of Sydney to review its library.

University of New South Wales
On 10 November 1958 John Metcalfe was invited to accept the position of University Librarian at the University of New South Wales.  His duties would involve being responsible for the organisation and management of the University's library and the establishment and supervision of courses in library training at the University. Metcalfe was also made a member of the Professorial Board. On 2 February 1959 Metcalfe commenced as the University Librarian a role he held until May 1966.  He oversaw the establishment of the first library school at an Australian university which opened in 1960 and he remained Director of the School of Librarianship until his retirement in 1968.

Later life
Following his retirement, Metcalfe continued to write about subject indexing and information retrieval.
John Metcalfe died on 7 February 1982 at Katoomba.

Works

Honours and awards
 In 1936 Metcalfe was awarded a fellowship of the Library Association of the United Kingdom.
 Metcalfe was made a fellow of the Library Association of Australia in 1964.
 In 1973 he was awarded the H.C.L. Anderson award by the Library Association of Australia.
 The Metcalfe Auditorium at the State Library of New South Wales is named in his memory.
 The Metcalfe Medallion (now known as the Metcalfe Award) is awarded in his honour by the Australian Library and Information Association for outstanding student work.

title: Cyclone Connie

text:
Intense Tropical Cyclone Connie was a strong tropical cyclone that affected both Mauritius and Réunion in late January 2000. On January 24, 2000, a tropical disturbance developed well east of Madagascar. Despite moderate wind shear, it gradually strengthened while stalling offshore, and late on January 25, was believed to have attained tropical storm status. After turning generally southeast, Connie attained cyclone intensity on January 27. Rapid intensification ensued. Shortly after developing a well-defined eye, Connie attained peak intensity at 0000 UTC on January 28 as an intense tropical cyclone. Thereafter, Connie slowly weakened due to increased wind shear as thunderstorm activity quickly diminished around the eye. After threatening Mauritius, Connie then turned southwest, passing very close to Réunion late on January 28. After briefly leveling off in intensity that evening, Connie soon became less organized, and midday on January 29, the eye became less defined. The next day, Connie weakened to a severe tropical storm. Despite forecasts of additional weakening, Connie maintained its intensity for most of January 31. However, weakening resumed on February 1 and the storm transitioned to an extratropical cyclone on February 2. Two days later, Connie merged with another low-pressure area.

Despite passing well offshore Mauritius, both the airport and the port were closed due to lack of certainty in the storm's path. Connie brought several days of heavy rains and gusty winds to the island. One person was killed there and power was briefly disconnected. Overall, damage on Mauritius was minor. While passing near Reunion, Cyclone Connie brought heavy rains to the island nation. Power was knocked out to around 40,000 individuals. Roughly 100 homes were destroyed, leaving 600 people were homeless. Another 300 sought shelter.  Two people were killed, but damage in Reunion was minimal. The extratropical remnants of the system later brought flooding to Mozambique, where 20,000 people were listed as homeless.

Meteorological history

On January 22, an area of disturbed weather developed around 10°S to 15°S, a prime location for tropical cyclone formation within the basin. Although the system gradually became better organized, moderate easterly wind shear prevented significant development. By January 24 this area was located approximately  east of the northern tip of Madagascar. Following a significant increase in organization due to decreased wind shear, the Météo-France office in Reunion (MFR) upgraded the system into Tropical Disturbance 4. At 1100 UTC on January 25, MFR upgraded the disturbance into a tropical depression while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) for the system. At 1800 UTC that day, the MFR upgraded the system into Moderate Tropical Storm Connie while the JTWC also upgraded Connie into a tropical storm.

Situated in an environment of favorable wind shear, Connie steadily became better organized. It quickly developed rainbands and good outflow. At first, Connie was nearly stationary but on January 26, moved northeastward under the influence of a subtropical ridge. Tropical Cyclone Connie slowly strengthened, although this process was slowed due to upwelling of cold ocean waters. That morning, the JTWC upgraded Connie to a  hurricane. At 0703 UTC, satellite imagery dedicated a  wide eye. Despite the eye feature, MFR assessed the intensity at . Early the next day, however, MFR classified Connie as a severe tropical storm following satellite data, which suggested that Connie had developed an 80% closed eyewall. Moving east-southeast, Connie was upgraded to cyclone intensity at noon on January 27. Meanwhile, the JTWC revised the storms intensity to , equivalent to a low-end Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS) roughly  north-northwest of Mauritius.

With an upper-level high located near the cyclone, the tropical cyclone steadily became better organized and thus Connie began to strengthen rapidly, as previously indicated by many tropical cyclone forecast models. The system then began to slowly turn southeast in the general direction of Mauritius and Réunion. By 1800 UTC on January 27, Tropical Cyclone Connie developed a very well defined eye; based on this, MFR upgraded Connie to a very intense tropical cyclone. Around this time, the JTWC raised the intensity of Connie to , equal to a borderline Category 4 hurricane on the SSHWS, based on Dvorak intensity estimates of T5.5 and T6.0. After passing around  north-northwest of Mauritius, Connie then decelerated east-southeast. At 0000 UTC on January 28, MFR estimated that Connie attained its peak intensity of . Despite this cloud tops associated with Connie began to warm, even though the eye remained well-defined. Thus, the JTWC lowered the intensity of Connie to , based on a blend of satellite intensity estimates.

Early on January 28, Connie made its closest approach to St. Brandon and initially appeared to be approaching Mauritius. However, many computer models correctly predicted Connie to turn southwest and threaten Reunion. Throughout the day, Connie maintained its intensity, but by the evening on January 28, thunderstorm activity diminished and the cloud structure became less organized, though the storm maintained a small eye. Increased southerly wind shear from a tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT) took toll on the system. During the morning hours of January 29 both agencies reduced the intensity to  as the storm began to encounter dry air. By the afternoon, MFR downgraded Connie to tropical cyclone status; the eye had become cloud-filled, although it was still visible on radar. That night, the storm passed  northwest of Reunion. Early on January 30, MFR downgraded Connie to a severe tropical storm. Later that day, the JTWC estimated that Connie lost hurricane-force winds roughly  east of the southern tip of Madagascar; all of the storm's deep convection by this time was displaced to the south.

After moving away from Reunion, Connie accelerated towards the south around a subtropical ridge situated near Amsterdam Island. On January 31, Connie turned southeast, steered about a trough to the southeast. Contrary to forecasts which predicted continued weakening, MFR kept the intensity at  for most of January 31. Based on satellite derived intensity estimates, the JTWC briefly re-upgraded Connie to a Category 1 hurricane equivalent on the SSHWS at 1800 UTC. However, the re-strengthening trend was short lived due to increased northwesterly wind shear. Satellite imagery early on February 1 revealed an exposed circulation and a rapid decreased of thunderstorm activity in bothy coverage and intensity. Based on this and the fact that the storm appeared to be losing tropical characteristics, MFR issued its final advisory on Connie. However, the JTWC continued to track Connie until February 2, when it merged with an extratropical low. At the time of dissipation, the JTWC assessed the intensity of Connie at .

Impact
Despite large uncertainty in the storm's path, the international airport on the eastern side of Mauritius and all ships within the Port Louis harbor had departed. A cyclone warning was declared and 165 shelters were opened. As a precaution, power was turned off. However, on the afternoon  of January 29 all sea and airports were re-opened and power was turned back on as the storm moved away.

While making its closet approach to Mauritius on January 28, Connie brought heavy rains and strong winds to the archipelago. Winds greater than  were recorded through much of the island, including a peak of  in Médine. During a six-day period from January 26 to January 31, many locations along the eastern portion of the island received , equivalent to approximately a month's worth of rainfall, including a maximum rainfall of . These rains helped relieve extreme drought conditions. Offshore, waves up to  in height were reported. One man perished on his roof while trying to fix his antenna. Two rivers were flooded but all in all, damage was minimal.

Due to its slow motion, Intense Tropical cyclone Connie deluged Reunion with heavy rains for several days before suddenly tampering off on January 29. Throughout the passage of the cyclone, many locations recorded wind gusts in excess of , highlighted by  in Le Port,  in Peite France, and  in Maida. Moreover, a peak rainfall total of  was measured in Commerson,  of which occurred in a 24-hour time frame. Many roads across Reunion were damaged. Power was knocked out to 40,000 customers while more than 100 homes were demolished. Two persons were killed, including a young man that fell while trying to observe the cyclone. A total of 600 people were reported homeless; roughly 300 people were evacuated. Although the agriculture sector suffered the most significant damages, overall, damage was minor. However, the French government later provided relief aid to Reunion as a result of the damage.

The non-tropical remnants of Connie brought flooding to Southern Africa for several days. In Maputo,  of rain fell within a day. Large sections of many neighborhoods were inundated. Roughly 20,000 people were rendered homeless. The road that linked Maputo to South Africa was cut. The Ministry of Education was forced to delay the start of the school year. Following the floods, roughly 20 emergency shelters were opened. These rains help set the stage for additional flooding caused by Cyclone Leon–Eline and Cyclone Hudah.

title: Mohamedali Tramways Company

text:
Mohamedali Tramways Company (MTC) was a transport network of rail vehicles in Karachi, Pakistan.

History
The idea of a tramway system for Karachi was conceived and a tender for its construction was first made in 1881. On February 8, 1883, a plan for a tramway was drawn up and permission obtained from the government for the use of steam-powered trams. In October 1884 construction was started. John Brunton was the Chief Engineer of the project. The tramway was opened on April 20, 1885, employing steam-powered cars. The opening ceremony took place near St Andrew's Church (Abdullah Haroon Road and Sharah-e-Liaquat).

Steam Trams
The steam trams were replaced by horse-drawn ones in 1886. In 1902 the East India Tramways Company Limited was responsible for running the trams in Karachi.

By March 23, 1905, petrol-powered tram were introduced. By 1909 the entire fleet was replaced by petrol-powered trams, unlike Europe which had switched to electric trams. Each car had a capacity of 46 passengers and could travel at speeds of up to 18 mph. New tracks had to be re-laid for the petrol driven trams. The trams now ran on inverted U-shaped grooved-bridge rail with a four-foot gauge. The first two petrol-engined tramcars were designed by John Abbott and his son John Dixon Abbott, incorporating the Dixon-Abbott patent gearbox. They were built in England. By 1914, there were 37 petrol-powered tramcars running. 1945 saw the introduction of the first diesel-powered trams. Until 1955 there were still 64 petrol-powered trams in Karachi numbered from 94 to 157. These were single deck 4-wheeled cars  with back-to-back cross benches. They had an 8 ft wheel base, and were 28 feet long, and 6 feet 8 inches wide. These cars were built between 1924 and 1948  with Perkins P.4 Diesel Engines and Simplex (Dixon-Abbott) Gearboxes. Cars number 145 to 157 were built as new diesel cars, while the rest of the cars were converted from petrol to diesel.

Mohamedali Tramways Company
In 1949 the whole tramway system was sold to the Mohamedali Tramways Company (MTC) owned by Sheikh Mohammad Ali.

The tram was a common mode of transport as was the horse-drawn carriage. Only the elite had cars. A few young men owned motorcycles. Both men and women went about on bicycles, for this was the most common type of transport. According to the nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan who lived in Karachi at the time, the tram fare in the 1950s was one anna (less than one cent). Another user  Ian Vaughan-Arbuckle says  “You could use the trams without being jostled.”

Routes
The original line which started operating on April 20, 1885, ran from Saddar to Kemari.
Between 1891 and 1900 the Lawrence Road (in 2014 Nishtar Road) route was constructed.
On September 30, 1911, the line was extended to Frere Street (in 2014 Dr. Daud Pota Road).
On February 17, 1916, the Soldier Bazaar route was introduced via Mansfield Street (in 2014 Syedna Burhanuddin Road). October 22, 1928 saw the introduction of the Chakiwara route.
In 1929 the line going to Soldier Bazaar from Mansfield Street was diverted to Bunder Road (in 2014 M.A. Jinnah Road).

Closure
The trams in Karachi closed down on April 30, 1975. It is not clear whether the MTC was a victim of the Karachi Circular Railway which started in 1969 with 14  trains or of the transport mafia.

Possible revival
In 2017, a proposed plan for the renovation of the Saddar area in Karachi, has included the reintroduction of trams to ease the city's transport problems. Elsewhere in the world too trams are seeing a comeback.

title: Wegmann & Co.

text:
The form coach factory of Wegmann & Co. was founded in 1882 in Kassel (then Cassel) by Kommerzienrat, Peter Wegmann, and Richard Harkort as the Casseler Waggonfabriken von Wegmann, Harkort & Co. In 1886 it changed its name to Wegmann & Co.

In 1912 the company was taken over by engineer, August Bode, and businessman, Conrad Köhler. Towards the end of the First World War, in 1917, the firm was given an order for the construction of the first German tank, the K-Wagen. In the 1920s the construction of railway wagons was the focus of the company.

The firm became known in the 1930s as the manufacturer of passenger coaches for the Henschel-Wegmann train. In 1936 Wegmann & Co supplied the prototypes of the so-called Schürzenwagen. In addition, Wegmann built some of the state coaches of the special train for the Führer, which were used by Adolf Hitler.

In 1925 the 4/20 PS sports car was displayed at the German Automobile Exhibition in Berlin. The vehicle was designed with a streamlined wooden body that was covered with artificial leather. It had seating for two to three people. It had a wheelbase of 260 cm. It had various engine options. One source mentions a four-cylinder boxer engine from the Steudel-Werke with exactly 1016 cm³ displacement. A second source confirms the four-cylinder engine but does not provide any information on its origin. Another source states that it was a proprietary four-cylinder, four-stroke engine with water cooling. Werner Oswald and Ulrich Kubisch mention a two-cylinder boxer engine that was mounted in the rear. A displacement of about 1000 cm³ and power of 20 hp are confirmed. A three-speed gearbox and Cardan shaft are also mentioned. It is not known how many were built. In addition, a van with 2/10 hp has survived. It had a two-cylinder two-stroke engine by DKW with a choice of 412 cc displacement, 10 hp and air cooling or 389 cc displacement, 14 hp and water cooling. The transmission had two gears. The wheelbase was 165 cm. The kerb weight was given as 400 kg and the payload as 750 to 1000 kg. At the time, the company had the legal form of a Kommanditgesellschaft (limited partnership).

The company became known in the 1930s as a manufacturer of passenger carriages for the Henschel-Wegmann Train. Wegmann & Co delivered the six prototypes of the Schuurzenwagen in 1936. In addition, Wegmann built some of the saloon cars of the Führer's special train, which was available to Adolf Hitler.
During the time of the Nazi dictatorship, the exploitation of forced labourers, prisoners of war and political prisoners was part of the corporate policy of the Wehrwirtschaftsführer, August Bode. Armoured combat vehicles were assembled and, above all, tank turrets were produced.

Even after the Second World War, Wegmann initially produced wagons and trams again. In 1950, under the direction of Fritz Bode, a battery electric bus was constructed, which was presented at the IAA in 1951 on a shortened Krauss-Maffei chassis of the KMO 133 type. Six AFA batteries were carried in a single-axle trailer. In 1959, Wegmann, in cooperation with Schaltbau and AFA, built the Kar 6209 the tunnel inspection vehicle for the Deutsche Bundesbahn.

In the early 1960s, the company participated in the development and production of the Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 main battle tanks. Later, the Light Artillery Rocket System (LARS), which was used by the Bundeswehr from 1969 to 2000, was added to their armament production range.

In 1960, August Bode's sons, Engelhard and Fritz, took over the management. Eight years later the company was split into two independent companies - Wegmann & Co. and Bode & Co. In 1979 Wegmann & Co.  passed on to Fritz's sons, Manfred and Wolfgang Bode.

In 1999, Wegmann & Co. was incorporated into the armaments company of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), with 51% of the company shares being owned by Wegmann and Co. Unternehmens-Holding KG in Kassel. The remaining shares in KMW were acquired from Siemens by the Wegmann Group in 2010. The Wegmann Group, which has been based in Fürstenfeldbruck since 2019, is controlled by the Bode family.

The street name of KMW's Kassel company location recalls former owner and honorary citizen of Kassel, August Bode.
