title: Biking for Babies

text:
Biking for Babies is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that orchestrates an annual long-distance bike ride, aimed at both fundraising and increasing awareness for crisis pregnancy centers. These centers, nonprofit organizations, are dedicated to offering support and guidance to pregnant women, encouraging alternatives to abortion. The active involvement primarily draws from young adults, including college students and recent graduates. They embark on journeys spanning hundreds of miles while concurrently securing financial support for their cause prior to the ride itself. Notably, Biking for Babies has effectively generated over $100,000 in donations, benefiting pregnancy centers across the entire nation.

History
The concept of a long-distance bike ride serving as a fundraiser for this cause originated with Mike Schaefer and Jimmy Becker during the summer of 2008.

Initially launched as a project under Students for Life of Illinois in 2009, the organization subsequently evolved into an independent non-profit entity by 2011.

The inaugural journey spanned from Carbondale, IL to Chicago, IL. Each successive year witnessed an extension of the route, with subsequent paths commencing from New Orleans and culminating in Chicago. Presently, the initiative boasts four distinct routes originating from various locations (Green Bay, WI; Columbus, OH; Tylertown, MS; Holly, CO), all converging in St. Louis, MO. Remarkably, participants maintain an impressive daily average of over 100 miles.

The land was either purchased directly by the city fathers or was bought by Willis E. and Laura Barnum and turned over to city officials.  The L-shaped park, which is one mile in width and length with a half-mile-square neighborhood in its northwest corner, was named for prominent railroad executive and Tucson citizen Epes Randolph, who died in 1921.

In 1978 the western third of Randolph Park was renamed for the City of Tucson’s first parks director, Gene C. Reid, upon his retirement.  In over thirty years as director Reid expanded Tucson's park system from 8 to 84 parks and made significant additions to Randolf.  Reid oversaw the addition of the DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center, the zoo, the expansion and renovation of Randolf Golf Course, and the excavation of two lakes which doubled as irrigation reservoirs.  The zoo and lakes also bear Reid's name.  The recreation center and golf complex remain named after Randolph.

Sports and performance venues

Hi Corbett Field
Randolph Municipal Baseball Park opened in 1928 near Randolph Park's center.  A baseball stadium constructed at the site in 1937 was later named for Hiram Corbett, who worked with Cleveland Indians owner Bill Veeck to bring the Indians to Tucson for spring training.  The Indians used Hi Corbett Field from 1945 until 1992.  From 1969 until 1997, the stadium was also used by the Triple-A Tucson Toros.  In 1993 the expansion Colorado Rockies began using the stadium for spring training, staying through 2010.  The stadium became home to the University of Arizona Wildcats in 2012.  In their first season at Hi Corbett, the Wildcats won the 2012 College World Series.

DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center

Located on the park's west side, the DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center or OPC is a large grass amphitheater around a covered stage with integrated lighting and sound.  Host to open-air concerts, festivals, theater productions, and movie screenings, its official capacity is 7,000.

Reid constructed a bandshell at the site in 1964 to give conductor Georges DeMeester's "Pops" orchestra a permanent home, using surplus corrugated steel from Davis Monthan Air Force Base.  The amphitheater was created using dirt from University of Arizona basement excavations.  In 1974 the City replaced the original bandshell with the current stage.  The performance center was named for DeMeester in 1987.  In 1997, the street leading to it was named for Charles "Bucky" Steele, who conducted the Pops Orchestra for nearly twenty-five years after DeMeester's retirement.   The Tucson Pops Music Under the Stars concert series continues to be held at DeMeester Center each spring.

A cast-concrete sculpture panel entitled "Celebrate The Arts" was added to the stage enclosure in 1986.  The 8'-by-16' panel by Carole Hanson and Guillermo Esparza depicts six performers: a dancer, an actor with a comedy mask, an actor with a tragedy mask, a singer, a guitarist, and a wind musician.  Catalogued in the Smithsonian Art Inventory, the work was the first Percent for the Arts commission in the City of Tucson.

Attractions

Reid Park Zoo

Founded in 1965 with the donation of a pair of peacocks, Reid Park Zoo has grown into a 24-acre city-owned non-profit zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.  Located in the southeast corner of the park, it features more than 100 species and 500 animals.  The zoo most recently expanded in 2012 with the addition of a 7-acre African elephant exhibit.  Its breeding herd, on loan from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, includes the first African elephant born in the state of Arizona.

Cele Peterson Rose Garden
The Reid Park Rose Garden, created in 1960, exhibits more than 100 cultivars of rose and 800 individual plants.  Planting beds radiate out from a large gazebo at the garden's center.  In 2019 the garden was named for Tucson business owner and philanthropist Cele Peterson.

Miko's Corner Playground Dog Park
Named after a Tucson Police Department police dog that lost its life in the line of duty, Miko's Corner Playground is a lighted, two-acre, off-leash dog park with separate areas for large and small dogs.

Reid Park Ponds and Barnum Hill

The park features two man-made ponds, home to a variety of bird species.  The north pond, the larger of the two with an area of 2.2 acres, was used for paddle-boating until 1998, when both ponds were dredged and island features were removed.  Water pumped to the top of a hill between the lakes feeds two man-made streams: one returns to the north pond via a series of waterfalls; the other winds its way down to the south pond before continuing on to the north.  In 1993 the hill was named for Willis E. Barnum Sr., a civic leader who was connected with the park.

Sports and recreation facilities

Edith Ball Adaptive Recreation Center
The Adaptive Recreation Center has two swimming pools.  One is a shaded outdoor recreation pool used for fitness classes, lap swim, and open swim.  The pool includes a walking channel, play features, and a zero-depth entry.  The other is an indoor warm-water therapy pool.

Emil Bossard Annex Fields
Also called the Reid Park Annex, the Emil Bossard Annex Fields are named after a longtime groundskeeper for the Cleveland Indians who retired to Tucson to become groundskeeper for Hi Corbett and the Annex.

Horseshoe Pits
The park's twelve horseshoe pits, home to the Tucson Horseshoe Pitchers' Club, are located on Lakeshore Way at 22nd Street, just south of the zoo.

Randolph Park
Although the recreation center, tennis center, and golf complex are not officially part of Reid Park, the full complex of facilities located on what was originally Randolph Park is often referred to as a whole using either the Reid or Randolph name.

Randolph Golf Complex
The first golf course in Randolph Park was built in 1925.  Now administered by Tucson City Golf, Randolph has two 18-hole golf courses, a driving range, a pro shop, and a clubhouse.  In 1996 what until that time was known as Randolph South was rebuilt and named Dell Urich Golf Course.

Randolph Recreation Center
Randolph Recreation Center is located on the west side of Alvernon centered between Broadway and 22nd Street.  The facility is equipped with a skate park, a pool, courts configurable for either basketball or volleyball, a weight room, an auditorium, and dedicated classrooms for aerobics, dance, gymnastics, pottery, jewelry-making, and photography.

Jim Reffkin Tennis Center
The Jim Reffkin Tennis Center, located in the northeast corner of the original Randolph Park, has 25 lighted tennis courts, 10 lighted racquetball Courts, and a pro shop.  It was honored as the "Outstanding Facility of the Year" in 1993 by the United States Tennis Association.

title: Embedded controller

text:
An Embedded Controller (EC) is a microcontroller in computers that handles various system tasks. Now it is usually merged with Super I/O, especially on mobile platforms (such as laptop).

Tasks

An embedded controller can have the following tasks:
Receiving and processing signals from the keyboard and the touchpad (including touchpad disable)
Other buttons and switches (e.g., power button, laptop lid switch (received from hall sensor))
Controlling access to the A20 line
Thermal measurement (CPU, GPU, Motherboard) and response including fan control, CPU and GPU throttling, and emergency shutdown in response to rising temperatures
Controlling indicator LEDs (e.g. caps lock, scroll lock, num lock, battery, ac, power, wireless LAN, sleep)
Managing the battery charger and the battery
Allowing remote diagnostics and remediation over the network
Performing software-requested CPU reset
Controlling the watchdog timer
System Management Interrupt (entry to System Management Mode)
Bluetooth toggle
Display backlight toggle
USB OC (overcurrent) (USB disable)
Display power toggle
Controls RGB lighting
eSATA toggle
Wake-on-LAN
Debug Card Interface (Enables repair centers to monitor the boot process with a special device in an attempt to fix problems)
SCI from the Embedded Controller to inform the ACPI driver (in the ) of an ACPI Event

As a core system component, the embedded controller is always on when power is supplied to the mainboard. To communicate with the main computer system, several forms of communication can be used, including ACPI, SMBus, or shared memory.

The embedded controller has its own RAM, independent of that used by the main computer system, and often its own flash ROM on which the controller's software is stored. Many BIOS updates also include upgrades for the embedded controller firmware.

An embedded controller is sometimes known as a "Keyboard Controller BIOS", which comes from the fact that the embedded controller evolved from the keyboard controller and often still is used as a keyboard controller. Even today, an ACPI embedded controller communicates with the CPU by using the same I/O ports that keyboard controllers used in the past.

Ergonomics

Although the embedded controller is very "deep" in the system, it is important to the user because it performs functions such as fan control and thermal management. Computer systems such as laptops often produce large amounts of heat which must be dissipated. This is typically done by activating a fan to blow air over the components that are producing heat; the fan is not simply turned on or off, but is driven at high speed by the embedded controller for a short time and then left running at low speed until the temperature has decreased sufficiently. Such a control scheme can be uncomfortable from an ergonomic point of view, as the change in fan speed is noticeable to the user, especially if this occurs regularly and if the fan is clearly audible.

To prevent this, some embedded controllers are designed to run the fans at a constant speed over a larger range of temperatures and will only increase fan speed when the system is close to overheating. In this case, the ergonomics of the system are improved because the fan is quieter, as it is controlled to rotate at a lower speed and does not change speed as often. However, when the temperature does cross the controller's threshold, it will take much longer to reduce the temperature to safe levels.

To change the fan control policy, updates to the embedded controller's firmware are usually necessary.

title: Exoglossum laurae

text:
Exoglossum laurae (common name tonguetied minnow) is a species of minnow found in North America.

Description
The color of the fish ranges from dark gray to brown-black, with purple specks located throughout its body and a white belly. The fish ranges from three to five inches long. The minnow is named for its mouth. The lower mouth is only partially covered with its lips, leaving part of the minnow's jaw exposed. The mouth is horizontal and small.

The minnow has eight dorsal fin-rays, seven anal fin-rays, eight pelvic fin-rays and thirteen to seventeen pectoral fin-rays.

Habitat
The minnow lives throughout Ontario and the Northeastern United States. In the state of Ohio, the minnow is only confirmed to inhabit the Great Miami and Little Miami rivers. The Ohio population of Exoglossum laurae, which is separated from more Eastern populations by several hundred miles, is considered a subspecies.

The minnow is unable to live in murky waters and requires a clean rock river bottom. It also requires a forested river bank. The minnow needs somewhat cool water temperatures to survive.

Behavior

Hunting
The minnow has been categorized as an active hunter of prey, meaning that it will actively leave the safety of natural shelter to hunt prey. The hunting may occur alone or in groups. The primary prey of the minnow is aquatic invertebrates.

Reproduction
The minnow reproduces around the month of May. Male minnows construct a nest of pebbles, which are then used to protect spawned eggs. These nests are actively defended by males. Mating likely occurs over an extended period of time as minnow spawn in various stages of development have been observed in the nests.

Conservation status
Exoglossum laurae has a large population size and is considered common in its range. However, the minnow has experienced habitat loss due to water pollution and the channelization of rivers. The total population of the minnow has declined as a result of these threats. However, it is not deemed to be at risk due to its overall stable population trends and large population size.

title: Eugênia Álvaro Moreyra

text:
Eugênia Álvaro Moreyra (née Eugênia Brandão; March 6, 1898, Juiz de Fora — June 16, 1948, Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian journalist, actress and theater director, who became president of the professional theater union. A feminist pioneer, she was a leader of the suffrage campaign in Brazil. She was also linked to the Brazilian modernist movement and was a staunch defender of Communist ideals. She was married to the poet and writer Álvaro Moreyra, who played a major role in the renewal of the Brazilian theater, organizing cultural popularization campaigns and working as an actress, director, translator, declaimer and later president of the union of theater professionals.

Biography

Early life and career
Eugênia Brandão was born in Juiz de Fora in 1898. Daughter of Dr. Armindo Gomes Brandão and Marie Antoinette Armond Brandão, and granddaughter of Baron Pitangui, she had a comfortable childhood in her hometown, but with the death of Armindo, her family began to face financial difficulties. As her mother could not claim the inheritance left by her husband, which by law should be under the responsibility of her sons, she moved with Eugênia to Rio de Janeiro in the mid-1910s in search of employment. She found work at a branch of the Post Office nearby Lapa, while her daughter, autodidact, learned to read and write in Portuguese and French while reading newspapers, books and dictionaries.

Eugênia got her first job at fifteen as seller of male and female articles at Magazin Parc Royal store, downtown Rio. Shortly after, she began working as clerk at Freitas Bastos, a bookstore located at Largo da Carioca. It is there, amongst the beautiful works of national and international authors, that she became fond of theater and literature.

At sixteen, she was fully integrated into the Bohemian life of the city, including behavior and costumes - smoking cigarillos, she walked by the streets dressed in a suit, tie, and fedora. It is like this that she introduced herself at the newspaper Última Hora, looking for a job as journalist. Hired by her well-written text and daring attitude, her recruitment caused bewilderment and admiration in a society hitherto accustomed to seeing females presented by the media only as poetesses, feuilletists, and columnists. A woman practicing journalism was even more unusual, up to the point that even the term "reportess" had to be coined to describe her role.

Shortly after, the journal prematurely reported the end of her career as a young journalist, who had decided to seek refuge in a boarding school for girls in an orphanage called Asilo Bom Pastor. The mystery and the reason for such decision were unraveled only months later, when a report signed by her was published on the front page of the Journal A Rua. As a matter of fact, Eugenia asked to be interned with the sole intention of interviewing Albertina do Nascimento Silva, the sister of a murdered woman in a widely reported crime which became known as "The Tragedy of  Dr. Januzzi Street, 13." The woman, however, had already been removed from the asylum, but Eugênia continued living on the site in an attempt to obtain information from other inmates. Not being successful, she took the opportunity to report the everyday life of those people in their restrictive confinement. The resulting series of articles, published in chapters for five days in a row, snatched a large number of readers, yielding to the author the deserved recognition from colleagues, competitors and the general public, which would come to nickname her as "the first reporter of Brazil". Before getting married and temporarily abandon her profession, Eugênia circulated by the newsroom of two other famous newspapers of that time, A Notícia and O País.

Marriage and political and cultural life

At the height of her career as a street reporter, Eugênia met the poet Álvaro Moreyra, who attended the same intellectual and bohemian circles. In love, they got married in 1914. Eugênia then adopted her husband's name and surname, and left her journalistic career on hold to devote to her new family life. The couple had eight children, four of which survived infancy: Sandro Luciano, João Paulo, Álvaro Samuel and Rosa Marina. She participated in the Modern Art Week of 1922, and founded with him in 1927 the Teatro de Brinquedo (Toy Theatre Group), whose intent was to manifest modernist ideas. Between 1928 and 1932, she made several excursions to the countryside and outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, introducing the public to modern European authors.

With the fragmentation of the Brazilian modernist movement after the Revolution of 1930, Eugênia went on to defend along with Alvaro Moreyra, Pagú and Oswald de Andrade, leftist positions, actively participating in the Aliança Nacional Libertadora (National Liberation Alliance), consequently being persecuted by the Vargas government. Influenced by Carlos Lacerda, Eugênia and Alvaro affiliate themselves to the Communist Party of Brazil (PCB), and in May 1935 she joined the group of founders of the União Feminina do Brasil (Women's Union of Brazil), an organization promoted by women members or sympathizers of the PCB. Her house at that time had become a meeting place for bohemians and intellectuals, and among the many attendees were Di Cavalcanti, Vinicius de Morais, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Graciliano Ramos and Jorge Amado.

In November 1935, after the Communist Conspiracy movement, Eugênia was detained and accused of involvement with the PCB. She remained about four months in the House of Detention on Frei Caneca street, where she shared the cell no. 4 with communist militant Olga Benário Prestes, Maria Werneck de Castro, Nise da Silveira, Beatriz Bandeira, Armanda Álvaro Alberto and Eneida de Moraes. She was released for lack of evidence on the morning of February 1, 1936. She then returned to political activism, engaging herself, among other activities, in a campaign for the release of Anita Leocadia, Olga Benário's baby, who was born after her deportation to a concentration camp in Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.
In 1937, Álvaro presented to the theater department commission of the Ministry of Education and Culture his plan for the organization of a "Brazilian Dramatic Company", which was approved. He and his wife then toured the states of Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul, subsequently performing a three-month season at Teatro Regina, in Rio de Janeiro.

Unionist activity and death
Between 1936 and 1938, Eugênia was president of Casa dos Artista, the union of the theatrical class in São Paulo. Elected for a new term in February 1939, she was prevented from taking office by Filinto Müller, who filled to the Ministry of Labour and Employment a complaint that she was a "communist person mentioned at the Police Department of Security and Social Policy". The election was overruled by direct order of Minister Valdemar Falcão. She even ran for congresswoman in the general elections of 1945, but at the time no woman could be elected to represent women's interests during the drafting of the Brazilian Constitution of 1946.

On June 16, 1948, Eugênia was home in Rio playing cards when she felt sick. She died shortly after in her bedroom, next to her children, as a result of a stroke. She was then 50 years old.

Legacy

In a statement published in the newspaper Correio da Manhã after Eugênia's death, the writer Oswald de Andrade said that "what is due to her one day will be calculated". In reality, however, is that over the years the important and disruptive activities of Eugênia in a hitherto male-dominated society, specially in places such as the political and unionist sectors, became increasingly underestimated, and like this she remains a character still out of the history books — remembered, if at all, only by her pioneering altruism.
After Alvaro's death in 1964, a significant number of photographs and clippings from newspapers and magazines about his wife were found in his personnel files. The collection was partly used by him as a reference in the composition of the autobiographical book As Amargas, Não subsequently donated by his relatives to the Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa (House of Rui Barbosa Foundation).

title: Wes Wise

text:
Wes Wise (November 25, 1928 – December 9, 2022) was an American journalist and politician who served from 1971 to 1976 as a three-term mayor of Dallas, Texas.

Early life and TV news career
Wise was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on November 25, 1928. Wise dropped out of high school at the age of fifteen upon the death of his father and begin work at a local radio station in Monroe, Louisiana. Although Wise earned a diploma by passing the high school equivalency test, he never graduated from college. He served in the United States Army for two years.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Wise was a play-by-play sports announcer for Gordon McLendon's Liberty Broadcasting System radio network, which mainly broadcast live recreations of Major League Baseball games by means of broadcasters like Wise following the action via Western Union ticker tape reports, and then relaying the plays to the listening audience in a more lively style that included studio sound effects meant to simulate the ballgames.

Wise went on to work for many years as a sports director at KRLD-TV, a Dallas CBS television affiliate. In 1960, he teamed with Davey O'Brien to call Dallas Cowboys games for CBS.

Kennedy assassination
During his CBS years, Wise also occasionally covered hard news. In particular, Wise provided on-the-spot coverage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy at the Dealey Plaza in Downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963.

On November 23 at the Texas School Book Depository where Lee Harvey Oswald had worked, Wise encountered Jack Ruby who expressed concern that Jackie Kennedy might be required to return to Dallas if Oswald were tried for Kennedy's murder. Wise was present in the Dallas Municipal Building when Oswald was shot dead. Wise testified as a witness for both the defense and the prosecution at Jack Ruby's trial for the murder of Oswald.

Wise was a co-author of the 2004 memoir When the News Went Live: Dallas 1963. Of Dallas during Kennedy's visit, Wise has said, "Let's face it: At the time, Dallas was considered a hotbed of right-wing hysteria. It served as the regional headquarters of the John Birch Society, and Gen. Edwin Walker - whom many considered a far-out extremist - had moved here. You might remember that Lee Harvey Oswald took a shot at him, too. H.L. Hunt's right-wing radio program originated here. So it was hardly a haven for liberals."

During his two terms as mayor of Dallas, Wise guided Dallas from under the cloud of the assassination and at the same time saved the Texas School Book Depository from imminent destruction, preserving it for further research into the president's murder.

Political career
Wise was elected to the Dallas City Council in 1969 and then was elected mayor two years later; both are nominally nonpartisan positions. Wise did "much during his term to eradicate the bad image Dallas had nationally after the [Kennedy] assassination." Wise resigned midway when he resigned to run for the Democratic nomination in , losing to State Representative Jim Mattox.

Personal life and death
Wise died on December 9, 2022, at the age of 94.

title: Bernhard Pauss

text:
Bernhard Cathrinus Pauss (born 6 April 1839 at Tangen, Drammen, died 9 November 1907 in Christiania) was a Norwegian theologian, educator, author and humanitarian and missionary leader, who was a major figure in girls' education in Norway in his lifetime.

He was headmaster and owner of Nissen's Girls' School (1872–1907/1903) and head of its affiliated women's teachers college, the first higher education institution open to women in Norway. He was also a lecturer at the Norwegian Military Academy. He was chairman of the Norwegian Santal Mission (1887–1907), in succession to Oscar Nissen, and founded and edited the journal Santalen. He also wrote and edited several schoolbooks in Norwegian and German, including the reading book series Læsebog i Modersmaalet, that was one of the most widely used schoolbooks in Norway for over half a century. A village in India, Pauspur (Pausspur), was named in his honour. He was a member of the government-appointed committee which proposed the Higher School Act, adopted in 1896.

The son of shipowner from Drammen Nicolai Nissen Pauss, he was married in his first marriage to Augusta Thoresen, a daughter of the timber merchant Hans Thoresen, and in his second marriage to Anna Henriette Wegner, a daughter of the industrialist Benjamin Wegner and Henriette Seyler, a member of the Berenberg banking dynasty of Hamburg. He was the father of the surgeon and President of the Norwegian Red Cross Nikolai Nissen Paus, of the industrial leader Augustin Paus and of the director at the Norwegian Employers' Confederation George Wegner Paus.

Education and early career

He attended Drammen Latin School, where he was one of the first known members of the literary fraternity Silentium, and graduated with the examen artium university entrance exam in 1857. He then studied philosophy and theology (that is, Lutheran theology, the state religion of Norway) at the Royal Frederick University and obtained the cand.theol. degree in 1865. As a student, he worked as a teacher at Christiania Burgher School, a private middle school serving the affluent, from 1860. From 1862 he worked as a private tutor.

Nissen's Girls' School and other schools

Upon graduating from the university in 1865, he became a teacher at Nissen's Girls' School, a private girls' school in Christiania. In 1872 he succeeded the school's founder Hartvig Nissen as one of three co-owners and joint headmasters, and he ultimately became the sole owner and headmaster. In 1903, the school was sold to the company that owned the neighbouring Frogner School, but Nissen's Girls' School was managed independently and he remained as headmaster until his death four years later.

During his time as headmaster, the school became the first in Norway to offer examen artium, the university entrance exam, for women. Nissen's Girls' School was also the first institution—ahead of the University—to provide tertiary education for women in Norway, through its affiliated teachers college, headed by Pauss. During the late 19th century, the college educated a significant proportion of all female teachers in the country. He bought the property where the school is now located in Niels Juels gate 56 in 1897 and commissioned the construction of the school's new building, designed by Henrik Nissen.

He lectured in German and religion at the Norwegian Military Academy from 1868 to 1882. He was also a member of the board of directors of the School for Young Ladies in Christian Augusts Gade.

He was described as a very kind man who was well liked by his pupils and staff. Former pupils erected a grave monument for him at Vår Frelsers gravlund.

From 1890, he was a member of the government-appointed committee which proposed the Higher School Act, adopted in 1896, and served in the sub-committee tasked with matters relating to girls' schools, with Ragna Nielsen og Henriette Wulfsberg.

Books
Bernhard Pauss published numerous schoolbooks. Together with Hartvig Lassen, he edited the reading book series Læsebog i Modersmaalet (from 1884), which became one of the most widely used in Norway over a period of around 80 years. It was published eight years before Nordahl Rolfsen's Læsebog for Folkeskolen, and was more strongly characterized by the continuity from the Danish literary heritage, although it also featured the first contours of the Norwegian literary golden age.

Chairman of the Norwegian Santal Mission
Bernhard Pauss was chairman of the Norwegian Santal Mission, a humanitarian and missionary organisation that was active among the Santhal people of India, from 1887 to 1907, in succession to Oscar Nissen. He was also the first editor of its journal, Santalen ("The Santal"), from 1883 to 1907. After his death, his wife Henriette Pauss succeeded him as editor of the journal and board member of the Norwegian Santal Mission.

A village in Assam, India, Pauspur (also spelled Pausspur), was named in his honour by missionaries of the Santal Mission. The village received this name in the late 19th century and still carried the name as of the 1950s.

Personal life

A member of the Norwegian patrician Paus family, he was a son of shipmaster and ship-owner from Drammen Nicolai Nissen Pauss (1811–1877) and Caroline Louise Salvesen (1812–1887), a daughter of the shipmaster and privateer Bent Salvesen and a granddaughter of the major Drammen timber merchant Jacob Fegth. He was of no relation to either Hartvig Nissen or Oscar Nissen, but was descended from district judge of Upper Telemark Hans Paus (1721–1774) and Danish-born Andrea Jaspara Nissen (1725–1772), a descendant of Nikolaj Nissen and whose family were estate owners in Jutland. He was a male-line descendant of the priests Peder Paus, Povel Paus and Hans Paus, and was also a descendant of the Danish war hero Jørgen Kaas, of the topographer Arent Berntsen, and of statesmen such as Eske Bille, Claus Bille, Jørgen Lykke and Mogens Gyldenstierne.

In 1865, he married Augusta Thoresen in Geneva; she was a daughter of the Christiania timber merchant Hans Thoresen. Their only son Evald Pauss died as a medical student from diphtheria, a disease contracted as a student. Augusta died in 1875.

In 1876, he married Anna Henriette Wegner (1841–1918) in Christiania; she was the youngest daughter of the industrialist Benjamin Wegner and Henriette Seyler, and a granddaughter of the prominent Hamburg banker L.E. Seyler, co-owner of Berenberg Bank. They were the parents of the surgeon, hospital director and President of the Norwegian Red Cross Nikolai Nissen Paus, the engineer and CEO of Akershus Energi Augustin Thoresen Paus and the lawyer and Director at the Norwegian Employers' Confederation George Wegner Paus, as well as the daughters Henriette Wegner Paus, married to private school owner (Frogner School, Nissen's Girls' School, Haagaas School) Theodor Haagaas, and Karoline Louise Paus, married to barrister Thorleif Ellestad.

Bernhard Cathrinus Pauss was the grandfather of, among others, the surgeon, humanitarian and Grand Master of the Norwegian Order of Freemasons Bernhard Cathrinus Paus (1910–1999), of the industrial leader Bernhard Paus (1909–1970), of the diplomat and industrial leader Vilhelm Paus (1915–1995) and of the humanist Henriette Bie Lorentzen (1911–2001).

His second wife was a goddaughter of Countess Karen Wedel-Jarlsberg, Prime Minister Nicolai Johan Lohmann Krog, President of the Parliament Søren Anton Wilhelm Sørenssen, banker Johannes Thomassen Heftye, Prime Minister Frederik Stang, the King's aide-de-camp Hans Christian Rosen, Marie Schjøtt and Henriette Benedicte Løvenskiold.

He was the brother of ship-owner and merchant in Svelvik Ismar Mathias Pauss (born 1835) and Nicoline Louise Pauss, married to ship-owner, Member of Parliament and Norway's largest sail manufacturer Peter Hannibal Høeg. He was a godfather to his nephews Alf and Nicolay Nissen Paus, who founded the Paus & Paus industrial company.

In his lifetime, the family name was spelled Pauss, but his children reverted to the older spelling Paus, used by other family branches.

title: 1995 Brownlow Medal

text:
The 1995 Brownlow Medal was the 68th year the award was presented to the player adjudged the fairest and best player during the Australian Football League (AFL) home-and-away season. Paul Kelly of the Sydney Swans won the medal by polling twenty-one votes during the 1995 AFL season. For the first time, the State Government legalised betting on the Brownlow Medal, a move which concerned some due to the high potential for corruption. The pre-count favourites for the medal were Wayne Carey (3/1), Wayne Campbell (7/2), Peter Matera (10/1), James Hird and Craig Bradley (each 12/1). Eventual winner Paul Kelly was considered a 25/1 outside chance.

Leading vote-getters

* The player was ineligible to win the medal due to suspension by the AFL Tribunal during the year.

title: Donegan Block

text:
The Donegan Block is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama.  Built in 1870, it and the adjacent building, the Rand Building, represent a simplified Italianate architecture style common in smaller towns in the late 19th century.  It is one of few remaining Italianate buildings which once were prevalent on Courthouse Square.  The -story building is divided into four units, each three bays wide.  The units are divided on the façade by brick pilasters, which were originally faced with cast iron on the ground floor.  The two eastern units are combined, and share an entrance flanked by two multi-paned fixed windows on each side.  The other two units have central entrances with one window on each side.  The three eastern units are treated similarly, with triangular pediments and pilasters surrounding each door and window.  The western unit had been modified with a recessed entry and windows, but these were later returned flush with the building and are topped with fanlights and segmental brick arches.  Second floor windows on all four units are tall and narrow with arched tops and roll moldings with keystones.  The attic level has short vents treated similarly to the second floor windows.  A bracketed and denticulated metal cornice projects from the top of the building.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

title: SS Haiti

text:
SS Haiti was a passenger and freight ship built for the Colombian Mail Steamship Company built at Newport News Shipbuilding, Newport News, Virginia and delivered 15 December 1932. The ship was renamed briefly Puerto Rico in 1938 and Monterey in 1939 to operate for the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Company until requisitioned with transfer of title to the War Shipping Administration (WSA) on 25 September 1942. The ship was then allocated to the U.S. Army for operation under a bareboat agreement as USAT Monterey. In 1943 the ship was assigned to the command at Trinidad to supply bases in Brazil and Ascension Island. After layup in the reserve fleet the ship was sold to Turkey.

Construction and design
Haiti's keel was laid 4 April 1932 at Newport News Shipbuilding with launch on 17 September and delivery on 15 December, less than a month after delivery of her sister ship  on 17 November 1932. The ships were designed by Theodore E. Ferris, the noted naval architect and marine engineer for the Emergency Fleet Corporation/United States Shipping Board responsible for that organization's designs. Construction of both Haiti and Colombia was financed by the United States Shipping Board's Bureau of Construction and Finance with a loan of $1,687,500 for each ship with the total cost of Haiti being $2,343,162.07.

Cargo and engineering
The ship was designed for a normal speed of 16 knots, having refrigerated cargo capacity of , ventilated cargo capacity of  and general cargo capacity of  for a total of  with a crew of 95. Propulsion was by three in series Newport News impulse turbines delivering up to a continuous 7,500 shaft horsepower through reduction gears to a single screw of  diameter. Electricity for extensive use throughout the ship, including deck windlass, capstans, winches and watertight doors was supplied by three 250 kilowatt General Electric generator sets which also charged a storage battery bank for emergency power in case of main plant failure. Six cargo holds were served by cargo side ports for No. 3 and No. 4 with hatches for the balance with each of the two masts having four 5 ton booms and the foremast an additional 25 ton boom.

Passenger accommodations
Capacity was for 134 first and 24 tourist class passengers with first class spaces done in a "modern Spanish" motif with first class accommodations having twin beds and designed to meet hotel standards of the time. All had telephones and most were outside rooms with sliding glass windows or ports. A swimming pool was located on the bridge deck partially open and partially inside a verandah.

Service history

Commercial 1932–1942
Haiti and sister ship Colombia provided scheduled commercial service on a route from New York to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Kingston, Jamaica, Puerto Colombia and Cartagena, Colombia and Cristobal, Panama. After the ship's 1938–1939 transfer to the New York & Cuba Mail Steamship Company's Cuba Mail Line
and renaming to Puerto Rico and then Monterey service included New York, Havana, Cuba and Vera Cruz, Mexico.

War Shipping Administration
Monterey was delivered by the New York & Cuba Mail Steamship Company to the War Shipping Administration on 14 February 1942 under a bareboat charter and operated by Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Lines (AGWI Lines) acting as agent for WSA to meet Army transport requirements. On 6 August 1942 the ship was allocated to Navy under a sub-bareboat charter for "Repairing" while Navy was acquiring a group of commercial type vessels to modify into combat loaders for the North African campaign. Title to the ship delivered to WSA on 25 September. Conversion of the ship to Navy requirements as prospective Alameda (AP-68) was cancelled when Navy found the ship unsuitable for the mission. Other possibilities were explored, including conversion to a combined operations flagship, but those were abandoned and Monterey returned to Army support. On 16 January the ship was delivered to the War Department for Army operation as USAT Monterey.

Army operations in the West Indies and South Atlantic had been hampered by port congestion and transportation problems at the base in Trinidad into the spring of 1943 when a new 1,202-foot Army wharf, port and railway equipment improved operations. Along with the improvements the Transportation Corps command at Trinidad was assigned the USAT Monterey for direct support of Trinidad and bases in the West Indies, at Ascension Island and in Brazil.

On 20 March 1946 the ship was again delivered to AGWI Lines for operation for WSA until laid up in the Reserve Fleet at Lee Hall, Virginia on 26 June and sale for $650,000 on 14 August 1947 to the Republic of  with delivery to the buyer on 16 April 1948.

Turkish service
The ship was renamed Cankiri and then Adana after sale.

title: 1964 WCHA men's ice hockey tournament

text:
The 1964 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 5th conference playoff in league history. The tournament was played between March 12 and March 14, 1964. All games were played at home team campus sites. By reaching the title game both Denver and Michigan were invited to participate in the 1964 NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.

Format
The top four teams in the WCHA, based upon the conference regular season standings, were eligible for the tournament and were seeded No. 1 through No. 4. In the first round the first and fourth seeds and the second and third seeds were matched in two-game series where the school that scored the higher number of goals was declared the winner. The winners advanced to the title game which was to be played at the higher remaining seed's home venue. Due to the ongoing dispute between Minnesota and Denver the Golden Gophers refused to participate in the tournament and were replaced by 5th-place North Dakota.
