# Cora Scott Pope

**Cora Scott Pope** (née **Pond**; March 2, 1856 – unknown) was an American professor, a scenario writer, and a real estate developer. She was also a women’s rights activist, suffragist, and militant prohibitionist.

Trained in oratory, she taught in the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, before taking on suffrage work. In Massachusetts, she organized 87 woman's suffrage leagues, speaking in public and raising money to carry on the work in that state. As a fundraiser, she originated a dramatic entertainment called "The National Pageant", which she gave with great success for the benefit of the various societies of women. With Charlotte Harris Allen and Aimee Stanwood Bigelow, Pond was also editor and publisher of the children's monthly magazine, *The Young Idea*.

## Early life and education

Cora Scott Pond was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, March 2, 1856. She was a second cousin on her father's side of General Winfield Scott. Her father, Levi Wesley Pond (1827–1908) born in Calais, Maine, was a successful inventor of machinery and booms for milling and logging purposes, and one of the early pioneers in Wisconsin. Her mother, Mary Ann (McGowan) pond (1835–1913), was born in Saint John, New Brunswick. After they married, they went immediately to the West, settling first in Sheboygan, in 1850, and then moved to Two Rivers, Wabasha County, Minnesota, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and finally settled in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Cora had many siblings including, Mary Jane, Charles, Emeline, Edward E., Edward W., George W., Eugene L., Gilbert A., Katherine, and Gilbert A. II.

She attended the public schools regularly and added to her already robust constitution by outdoor games. There were no books or libraries in the town, and from 15 to 21 years of age, she devoted herself to music and social Interests. She desired above all things to finish her education in the University of Wisconsin. The question of expense was a crucial one, with so large a family to support, but at the age of 22, Pond was able to enter the state university. She lacked particular interest in mathematics or foreign languages, but whatever related to English and to history, literature, rhetoric and oratory did interest her.

She decided to fit herself as a teacher of oratory and, not wishing to finish any prescribed course in the university, after studying there three years, she set out for Boston alone in 1880, one of the first young women in her city, in those days, to go away from home, and adopt a profession. She entered the department of oratory of the New England Conservatory of Music. In 1883, she was graduated first in her class.

## Career

For one year after graduation, she taught with her professor in the conservatory. While there, she was interested in woman's work at the polls, in woman suffrage and temperance, and because of special work done alone in the hardest ward of the city, where no woman had ever labored before, she was invited by Lucy Stone to help them organize the State of Massachusetts for woman suffrage. Pond had intended to teach for ten years and then go West and take up the work for women, but she decided to accept the proposition. She continued the work and organized 87 woman suffrage leagues in Massachusetts, more than had ever been organized before, arranged lectures, spoke in the meetings and raised money to carry on the State work for six years.

Although engaged in that work, she was interested in every reform. Pond's first great effort in raising money was in 1887, when she organized a woman suffrage bazaar. It was held in Music Hall, Boston, for one week. Over US$6,000 were cleared. After that, most of her time was spent in raising money for State work.

While teaching in the conservatory, Pond arranged five-minute sketches from Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, and other authors, and presented them with her scholars to the public in the conservatory.

In 1886, Pond began investing in real estate in Los Angeles, California. She was traveling in that state in 1897 and also went to Portland, Oregon, Tacoma, Washington, and Seattle, Washington.

In 1889, she arranged national historical events in the same as her conservatory oratory work to raise money for the State suffrage work. The inventive mind of her father showed itself in that. The pictures for dramatic expression arranged themselves, in one evening, spontaneously in her mind. She called it "The National Pageant Tableaux of American History" and copyrighted her programme. The idea did not initially have an enthusiastic reception by some of the prominent women of Boston. Two only stood by her and said "Go on". The National Pageant was given in Hollis Street Theatre, May 9, 1889. The house was crowded at US$2 per ticket. It was a grand success. Over US$1,000 were cleared at one matinee performance.

In 1890, at the urging of Mary A. Livermore, who had always been to Pond as a godmother in her Boston work, and by Amanda Melvina Lougee, a prominent business woman of Boston, Pond gave up her State work, and devoted herself to "The National Pageant", giving it for various charities and societies of women to help them raise money to carry on their work. Pond made her venture and carried it into the large cities of the country, and gave one performance each month for local societies, and raised many thousands of dollars for charitable purposes. She gave it in Chicago, in the Auditorium, the first historical work given after the decision by U.S. Congress to hold the Columbian Exposition in that city. In one night US$6,250 were cleared. For 15 years, she gave these entertainments in most of the large cities of the United States.

While in Chicago, Pond met a businessman, John T. Pope, who assisted her in the pageant for over a year. They were married December 20, 1891, and made their home in Chicago. He had three young sons, (Lester, b. 1883; Marshall, b. 1885; Clarence, b. 1889), who lived with Pond's mother for 12 years, while Mr. and Mrs. Pope continued the work that Cora had begun.

In 1905, the Popes removed to Los Angeles where she continued her real estate work. In what is now the Highland Park neighborhood, she purchased land from the Garvanza Land Co., named it Mt. Angelus, subdivided it, and sold lots to individuals. She also owned a home nearby in the Garvanza neighborhood with Anna Howard Shaw before they joined Susan B. Anthony in Los Angeles's suffrage movement.

In 1924, Pond-Pope divorced her husband on the grounds that she maintained a home for him and his three minor children by a former marriage until August, 1917, paying all the expenses from an income she received from her labors.

## Death

Her year of death is unknown, but occurred in 1932 or later.

# Rothley railway station

**Rothley railway station** is a heritage railway station on the preserved section of the Great Central Railway's *London Extension*. Built to the standard island platform pattern of country stations on the line, it originally opened on 15 March 1899 and has been restored to late Edwardian era condition, circa 1910.

## Route description

Climbing south from milepost 97, the formation of the Mountsorrel quarry branch joins the line from the east, crossing over the quadruple spanned bridge 352 to reach *Swithland Sidings*. Here, the up and down lines have parted as this site was originally to be the location of a projected Swithland station. The entrance archway from the road below can still be seen from passing trains, even though a platform was never built. Swithland has been redeveloped from a single track back into a four-track main line with a number of exchange sidings. Resignalling of the area using Great Western equipment to represent the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway is ongoing.

Shortly south of Swithland the summit is reached, and the line drops sharply again at a gradient of 1 in 176 into *Rothley station*. The station consists of a single island platform on which the station buildings sit, with original access from the road passing above. Beneath the stairway from the road is a museum, and beyond the booking hall there is a tea room. *Rothley* has been restored to its late Edwardian condition to represent the line during Great Central days. It is lit entirely by gas and never had mains electricity before closure by British Rail. The station's goods yard now forms the car park, at one end of which is a miniature railway, family picnic area, and historic stores room. At the other is a modern carriage repair works.

Overseeing railway traffic movements in the area is *Rothley Cabin*, a signal box recovered from Blind Lane Junction in Wembley and erected facing the station on the west side of the line. This signal box controls entry and exit to the southern end of the Great Central Railway's unique double track. In 2009 it was joined by an ex-GCR lamp hut taken from Whetstone railway station.

After falling to the bridge over Rothley Brook (structure 355), the line begins climbing again towards the summit at Birstall.

The station is grade II listed.

## Current services

* Heritage steam and diesel train services operate to *Rothley* from *Loughborough Central* every weekend and bank holiday of the year.
* Additional services operate on selected weekdays throughout the year.

## History

### Rothley GCR

Rothley station was built as a part of the Great Central Railway's *London Extension* and opened to passengers on 15 March 1899. The station was built to the standard *London Extension* country station pattern of a single large 'island' platform between the two running lines, on which stood the station buildings, including ticket office and waiting rooms. The platform at Rothley measures 441 feet (134 m) long and 33 feet (10 m) wide at its widest point. Access is made by descending a flight of stairs from a road bridge (structure number 354) that crosses the line.

Rothley station was built partly in a cutting at the north end (across which the bridge 354 crosses) and on an embankment at the south end. A modest goods yard with a goods shed, weighbridge and coal store were provided on the east side of the station, with train and shunting movements controlled from a signal box a little to the south of station on the west side of the main running lines. A stationmaster's house at the north eastern corner of the site watches over the station from on top of the banks.

The station closed on 4 March 1963 although trains continued to pass through until the line closed in 1969.

# Bukitan people

**Bukitan** (also known as **Baketan**) are the indigenous people native to the Nanga Palin in Embaloh Hilir of Kapuas Hulu Regency, Indonesia. Nowadays, the Bukitan diaspora can be found in the neighbouring Nanga Palin as well; including the district of Bintulu in Sarawak.

## History

### Origin

The origin of the Bukitan is from the Nanga Palin in Embaloh Hilir of Kapuas Hulu Regency in West Kalimantan. Due to the tribal conflict with its neighbouring tribe (Iban people), some of Bukitans have to migrate out of their homeland. However, significant population of Bukitan people can still be found in their ancestral territory.

### Diaspora

Some of the Bukitan fled to Saribas which is what is now in the Betong Division. There, they settled and built their community. During those years, they co-existed with another diaspora of Ibans there, after a peace sealed by the marriage of the daughter of their leader Entinggi to the son of the Iban chief Tindin. Some of them also moved into Sarawak via Lubok Antu and settled there in the 19th century.

After many years, due to some misunderstandings, war broke out with the Ibans and they lost. They again fled to various places before settling in Merit River, a tributary of Batang Tatau river in Bintulu division and its vicinity until today.

Evidence of Bukitan existence can be found in areas such as the Saribas (Paku, Layar and Rimbas) and Lubok Antu in the form of burial grounds, name of places and ancient orchards.

# Feature detection (web development)

**Feature detection** (also **feature testing**) is a technique used in web development for handling differences between runtime environments (typically web browsers or user agents), by programmatically testing for clues that the environment may or may not offer certain functionality. This information is then used to make the application adapt in some way to suit the environment: to make use of certain APIs, or tailor for a better user experience.

Its proponents claim it is more reliable and future-proof than other techniques like user agent sniffing and browser-specific CSS hacks.

## Techniques

A feature test can take many forms. It is essentially *any* snippet of code which gives some level of confidence that a required feature is indeed supported. However, in contrast to other techniques, feature detection usually focuses on performing actions which directly relate to the feature to be detected, rather than heuristics.

As JavaScript is the most prevalent scripting language in web browsers, many feature detection techniques use JavaScript to inspect the DOM and local JavaScript environment.

The simplest technique is to check for the existence of a relevant object or property. For example, the Geolocation API (used for accessing the device's knowledge of its geographical location, possibly obtained from a GPS navigation device) exposes a `geolocation` property on the `navigator` object in the DOM; the presence of which implies the Geolocation API is supported:

```

if ('geolocation' in navigator) {
  // Geolocation API is supported

For a higher level of confidence, some feature tests will attempt to invoke the feature then look for clues that it behaved properly. For example, a test for support for cookies might attempt to set a value as a cookie and then verify it can be read back.

## Undetectables

Some browser features are considered *undetectable*, because no clues are known to give sufficient confidence that a feature is supported. These are often because limited information available to the JavaScript environment in the browser; generally features must be exposed via the DOM in some way in order to be detectable using JavaScript.

When undetectables are encountered, it is common to turn to user agent sniffing as an alternative mechanism, or to employ defensive coding to minimise the impact if the feature turns out not to be supported.

The Modernizr project maintains a record of known undetectables on their wiki.

title: Georg Bochmann

abstract: Georg Bochmann was a high-ranking commander and Oberführer in the Waffen-SS who commanded the SS Division Götz von Berlichingen and the SS Division Horst Wessel. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.

# Georg Bochmann

**Georg Bochmann** (18 September 1913 – 8 June 1973) was a high-ranking commander and Oberführer in the Waffen-SS who commanded the SS Division Götz von Berlichingen and the SS Division Horst Wessel. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.

## Early career

Bochmann was born in Albernau, in Saxony on the border with Bohemia. His family were textile workers of modest means. He studied at the University of Leipzig. After joining the Hitler Youth, Bochmann joined the Nazi Party in 1933 (Membership Number: 1,907,565) and the SS the following year (Membership Number: 122,362), working at the Dachau concentration camp. In 1936, he was appointed to the "SS-Totenkopf Standarte *Oberbayern*".

## World War II

In November 1939 he was appointed SS Obersturmführer and "was a prime mover in the creation and outfitting of the SS Totenkopf Division, 1939-1940." In 1940, he assumed command of an armoured unit within the SS Division Totenkopf and during the French campaign the division fought at Cambrai, Arras, Dunkirk, and participated in deep thrusts into southwestern France. For his successes Bochmann received the Iron Cross, second class. A little later he was promoted to SS-Hauptsturmführer. The 3rd SS Division Totenkopf remained in France until April 1941 when it was transferred east to prepare for Operation Barbarossa.

On the eastern front the Totenkopf fought as part of the German Army Group North. Bochmann fought in the Baltic to Leningrad and was cited for his performances at Kaunas and Dünaburg in Latvia. In July 1941 Bochmann received the Iron Cross, first class, and in August 1941 the division reached Ilmen lake.

In January 1942 3rd SS Division Totenkopf was formally transferred to the German *Second Army Corps* and during the Soviet winter offensive there was a particularly savage battle at Demyansk. Nearly 100,000 German soldiers were surrounded for three months and were mostly supplied by Luftwaffe air drops. For his actions, Bochmann was awarded the Knight's Cross. A little after that he received the Demyansk Shield. On 2 April 1942 Bochmann was promoted to SS-Sturmbannführer (Major).

On 21 October 1942 Bochmann was appointed commander of the 2nd Motorised Battalion of the Regiment "Thule" (within the 3rd SS Division Totenkopf). In late October the division was withdrawn to France for refitting. After returning to the eastern front, Bochmann assumed command of the 3rd Motorised Battalion and participated in the battles for Kharkov. He was awarded the Oak Leaves to Knight's Cross on 17 May 1943.

Later Bochmann was appointed to command the Panzer Regiment in the division; on 9 November 1943 he was promoted SS-Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant Colonel). He commanded the "Totenkopf's" Panzer-Regiment through the Battle of Kursk and the subsequent battles along the Mius. Following fresh injuries he was withdrawn from the front and sent home. In Germany he was appointed head of SS Officer's School for Administration in Arolsen, Hesse. On 9 November 1944 he was promoted to SS-Standartenführer and transferred to 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich. However, after only a few weeks he was hastily transferred to command the 9th SS armored regiment in the 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen on 20 November.

Bochmann actually only returned to combat on 2 January 1945 when he was appointed commander of the 18th SS Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division Horst Wessel. After a brief stint fighting in the west, the division was moved to the eastern front, where it was decimated and quickly surrounded by the Red Army in Oberglogau, Silesia. Although wounded, Bochmann led a successful breakthrough and was awarded the Swords to the Knight's Cross (becoming the 140th recipient), Oak Leaves and the prestigious Wound Badge in Gold. Also he was promoted to SS-Oberführer on 20 April 1945.

With only a few weeks of the war left, Bochmann was appointed commander of the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division Götz von Berlichingen. After retreating through Bavaria he refused suicidal orders from Generalfeldmarschall Ferdinand Schörner to attack Allied troops, was dismissed from his post and plans were started to court martial him.

He would then lead SS troops from the Berlichingen at the Battle of Castle Itter. In its aftermath, on 9 May 1945 Georg Bochmann surrendered to United States troops in the Rottach-Egern region.

Georg Bochmann died in 1973.

# Feature data

In geographic information systems, a **feature** is an object that can have a geographic location and other properties. Common types of geometries include points, arcs, and polygons. Carriageways and cadastres are examples of feature data. Features can be labeled when displayed on a map.

## Feature types

The definition of features that share membership of a common theme is a *feature type*, though there are a number of terms for this characteristic, including *category*, *feature class*, *group*, *layer*, *level*, *object*, and *theme*.

*Layer* served as the traditional term of choice, but use of this word has declined as data has become more object-oriented and less concerned with cartographic layering.

Data modelers can use *feature types* to create a hierarchical structure. For example, a dataset may consist of types called highways, streets and lanes. The system may group these particular types together under a category called "Roads".

# Canda (automobile company)

The **Canda Manufacturing company** based in Carteret, New Jersey, produced cars from 1900-1902.

## History

The company was originally founded in 1896 as a producer of railroad hand cars.

It started in the automobile business when it acquired the rights to produce the gasoline engine invented by the Duryea brothers. At first Canda produced these engines for the Duryeas, but the deal fell through when Charles Duryea (who, in the deal, was superintendent of the factory) left to pursue his own ventures.

In 1900, the company decided to make their own cars, starting with the Auto-Quadricycle, which was powered by an Otto type 1¾ hp engine. It included a bell and lamps. However, in the summer 1902, the company folded, with its remaining stock being acquired by a man named George Condon of Newark.

# ¡Forward, Russia!

**¡Forward, Russia!** are an English rock band from Leeds, active between 2004 and 2008, before re-forming in 2013. The band's debut album, *Give Me a Wall*, was released in 2006. Until 2006, the band only named tracks with numbers, in the order that they were written. The band had used faux Cyrillic, with its name occasionally typeset as **¡FФЯWДЯD, RUSSIД!**.

They re-formed in 2013 for a show at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds in November 2013 for its 10th anniversary, and then played the Live at Leeds Festival at Leeds Town Hall in 2014.

## History

### Formation and early singles

¡Forward, Russia! were formed in early 2004 by Tom Woodhead and Rob Canning, formerly of Leeds band The Black Helicopters, and siblings Katie Nicholls and Whiskas (Sam Nicholls), previously of Leeds band Les Flames!, amongst others. The band performed their first gig in April, closely followed by demos which received reviews from prominent music magazines such as *Drowned in Sound* and *NME*, who called it "Convulsing punk-funk brilliance from Leeds".

In April 2005, ¡Forward, Russia! released "Nine", a split 7-inch single with This Et Al, released on guitarist Whiskas' label Dance to the Radio. This single was reviewed by the *NME*, who put it on their 'Radar'. The single sold out within a week.

By summer 2005, Nicholls had finished college and others had quit their jobs to take up the band full-time.

Single "Thirteen"/"Fourteen" was released in August 2005 on White Heat Records, accompanied by a UK tour. Also during 2005, the band was featured in *NME* as one of Leeds' forerunners in the so-called 'New Yorkshire' scene (alongside The Research, The Sunshine Underground, The Ivories and Black Wire). This was followed by several support slots and culminated in the band's first headline UK tour, which took the band to 37 different venues.

The band's next release, "Twelve" appeared in January 2006, on Dance to the Radio, entering the UK Top 40 at 36.

### *Give Me a Wall*

Their next single, a new version of "Nine", was released in May, and preceded the debut album *Give Me a Wall*, produced by Paul Tipler and released on 15 May 2006 in the UK. Around this time they toured with We Are Scientists, and played alongside The Automatic, The Long Blondes, Howling Bells and Boy Kill Boy on the 2006 *NME* New Music Tour.

The band signed to Mute Records in North America, where *Give Me A Wall* was released on 19 September 2006. A digital single of "Thirteen", as well as two EPs with lead tracks "Nine" and "Eighteen", were released to support the album. ¡Forward, Russia! have visited America four times, all in 2006, to play South by Southwest, the CMJ Music Marathon and tours with Scanners and Snowden. In Japan the band signed to Vinyl Junkie Recordings. Dance to the Radio distributed *Give Me a Wall* for the rest of the world, through an agreement with Cooperative Music. The album was on the most part released in late September/early October, with the band touring most of Europe around the period.

"Eighteen", the fourth track to be lifted from the album in the UK, was released in July on CD and two 7-inch single formats, reaching number one in the UK Indie Chart. The video for "Eighteen" features cameo appearances from members of The Pigeon Detectives, This Et Al and The Playmates.

"Nine" was featured on the soundtrack to the 2007 PSP game *Burnout Dominator*. The original version of "Nine" was produced by Richard Green, previously of Ultrasound and The Somatics.

2006 included a short UK tour and numerous UK and European festival appearances, as well as performances in the United States. The band played at the Reading and Leeds and Carling Weekend festivals, appearing on the NME/BBC Radio One Stage. The band played the MTV2 Spanking New Music Tour in November 2006 alongside Wolfmother, The Maccabees and Fields. "Nineteen" was released as the final single from the album to support this tour.

At Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival, the band debuted their first post-GMAW material – "Don't Be A Doctor" – also the first song with a non-numerical title. "Doctor" was recorded by GMAW producer Paul Tipler in September 2006 and released as a white-label one-sided etched ten-inch single on 12 February 2007. The track was released digitally for the first time ever as part of Dance to the Radio's compilation *Out of the Woods and Trees*. The compilation also features rare tracks from Howling Bells and The Pigeon Detectives.

The band headlined a short UK and Irish tour in February and March 2007 to wrap up domestic promotion for the debut album.

### *Life Processes*

Following a secret show to preview new material, the band recorded new material with producer Matt Bayles in Seattle, US. On their blog of studio updates, numerous working titles for the songs were mentioned, including three songs previewed on the early 2007 tour. A single taken from the album, "Breaking Standing", was the first material from these sessions to be released. The album was entitled *Life Processes* and was released by Cooking Vinyl in the UK on 14 April 2008, Mute North America in June 2008, and Vinyl Junkie in Japan on 26 March 2008. The Japanese release includes exclusive bonus tracks "Reflection Symmetry" and "Don't Be A Doctor". The album, which according to *Spin* writer Josh Modell explored "more expansive, proggier territory" than its predecessor, met with a positive critical reception with Drowned in Sound describing it as "peppered by moments of brilliance" and *The Independent* stating that the album "skilfully combines punk rock ferocity with melodic ingenuity".

### Current status

In 2008, the band announced that they had "decided to take a break from doing ¡Forward, Russia!", and that the band would not be playing or recording "for the foreseeable future". Their statement said "The idea of doing another tour with nothing new to offer was something that enthused none of us." Katie Nichols had moved to Nottingham to undertake an art course, while Woodhead had worked as a producer. The last known show or performance was held at the Brainwash festival, at the Brudenell Social Club, on 17 October 2008. In February 2009, it was announced that Whiskas was joining Duels as a full-time member. On 30 March 2013, the band re-emerged on Twitter, starting rumours of a reunion or re-formation, which were confirmed on 9 September in the form of a one-off gig at Brudenell Social Club to take place on 30 November 2013, followed by a second gig at Leeds Town Hall as part of Live at Leeds Festival on 3 May 2014.

## Musical style

The band's music has been described as "art rock", "contemporary agit-punk", and "high-octane dance-punk". When *Give Me a Wall* was released, the band received comparisons with Bloc Party, while the *NME* described them as sounding "like a peculiarly English take on emo". The band's second album was described by *Pitchfork* as "a curious mélange of studied dance-punk and flailing hardcore".

Jon Pareles, reviewing a live performance from 2006 in *The New York Times* stated "\[their\] songs aren't content with verse and chorus; they're packed with incident, and they're propelled by the indefatigable drumming of Katie Nicholls. Instruments unite for muscular, danceable funk, then splay apart like a fist suddenly opening."

Woodhead's vocals were described as "post hardcore operatic screeching".

## Band members

* Tom Woodhead – vocals, synth
* Rob Canning – bass, guitar
* Katie Nicholls – drums, vocals, shouts
* Whiskas – electric guitar, shouts, synth

### Work outside the band

Katie remixed I Was a Cub Scout's "I Hate Nightclubs"; her remix was released as a bonus single available exclusively online. She has also been nominated for the Peta 2's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) 'World's sexiest Vegetarian' in 2007, 2008, and 2009, but did not win.

Whiskas remixed Howling Bells' "Low Happening" under the name '¡Constructicons Form Devastator!' and his remix was released as a bonus single available online and on a 7-inch single.

Woodhead has an electronic side-project AnteAter, with one release to date, "Final Lekky" on DTTR's 3rd compilation *Something I Learned Today* – released March 2007. He also performed the vocals in the chorus of the Yes Boss song "Tongues in Knots" from their album *Look Busy*.

# Ellen von Unwerth

**Ellen von Unwerth** (born 1954) is a German photographer. She began her career as a fashion model, before becoming a fashion, editorial, and advertising photographer.

## Early life and education

Von Unwerth was born in Frankfurt, West Germany. As an orphan, during her early childhood, she often ended up in Bavarian foster care systems. Eventually, von Unwerth was able to graduate high school in Munich, where she would work as a circus magician's assistant for three years.

## Modelling

At the age of twenty while walking down the street, von Unwerth was asked by a photographer if she ever thought about having a modeling career. She decided to give modeling a chance and moved to Paris where she had a successful modeling career for 7 years.

## Photography

However, von Unwerth felt that as a model, she did not have the freedom to decide where and how her image would be used. Her boyfriend at the time gave her a camera, leading to an impromptu photo shoot in Kenya by her of her model colleagues. When the photos were published, von Unwerth decided that this was the new path she would take in life, as the demand for her photography skills outgrew her demand as a model.

Von Unwerth's first notable work was when she first photographed Claudia Schiffer in 1989. Her work has been published in *Vogue*, *Vanity Fair*, *Interview*, *The Face*, *Arena*, *Twill*, *L'Uomo Vogue*, *I-D*, and *Playboy*, and she has published several books of photography.

Von Unwerth did promotional photography for Duran Duran from 1994 to 1997 and did some photography for their 1990 album *Liberty* and 1997 album *Medazzaland**.* Her work has been used on other album covers including Bananarama's *Pop Life* (1991), Belinda Carlisle's *A Woman and a Man* (1996), Cathy Dennis' *Am I the Kinda Girl?* (1996), Janet Jackson's *The Velvet Rope* (1997), All Saints' *Saints & Sinners* (2000), Dido's *Life for Rent* (2003), Britney Spears' *Blackout* (2007), Christina Aguilera's *Back To Basics* (2006) and *Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits* and Rihanna's *Rated R* and *Talk That Talk.* She also shot the cover of Hole's album Live Through This (1994).

She shows women in enticing ways without objectifying them. In an interview with *V Magazine*, she said: "I never force women to do anything, but I give them roles to play so they are always active and empowered. In a 2018 interview with *Harper's Bazaar*, she explained her feminist approach to photography: "The women in my pictures are always strong, even if they are also sexy. My women always look self-assured. I try to make them look as beautiful as they can because every woman wants to feel beautiful, sexy and powerful. That's what I try to do."

## Filmmaking

Von Unwerth has directed short films for fashion designers, and music videos for several pop musicians. She has directed commercials and web films for Revlon, Clinique, L'Oreal and Equinox.

# Cyrus Nutt

**Cyrus Nutt** (September 4, 1814 – August 24, 1875) served as the fifth president of Indiana University.

## Biography

Cyrus Nutt was born in Southington Township, Trumbull County, Ohio on September 4, 1814. His father was James Nutt and his mother was Mary Viets who married in 1806. Cyrus was the second son, with one brother and two sisters who all lived in a log cabin on a piece of land next to a large farm belonging James father-in-law.

Cyrus Nutt graduated from Allegheny College (B.A. 1836). and became a professor of languages at Asbury (now DePauw) University (1837-1845), pastor of Methodist Episcopal church in Bloomington (1845), professor of Greek at Asbury University (1846-1849), president of Fort Wayne Female College (1849-1850), president of Whitewater College (1850-1855), professor of mathematics and acting president at Asbury University (1857-1860).

In 1860, Nutt was elected president of Indiana University. During his presidency, the University attempted to create an agricultural and mechanical school under the terms of the Morrill Act, though by 1869 Purdue was established as the land grant college of Indiana. In 1867, the board of trustees voted to admit women to classes, and around the same time the university experienced the beginning of organized athletics with students embracing the game of baseball. The junior and senior-class-controlled newspaper The Student also was founded that year.

The final years of Nutt’s presidency saw growing tensions with students, though the reasons are unknown. Students published a bogus newspaper in March 1873 titled The Dagger in which they attacked Nutt. In June 1875, Nutt retired from his position at the university and died on August 24, 1875, from remittent fever. He was buried in the Forest Hill Cemetery in Greencastle, Indiana.

## Works

Several of Nutt's baccalaureate sermons were published.
