# Stefan Dimle

**Stefan Dimle** (born 7 June 1967 in Köping, Sweden) is the bass player in the progressive band Morte Macabre and a former member of Landberk and Paatos. He is the driving force in the company Mellotronen who also is the organiser of the floating rock festival named the Melloboat which are held aboard the ship Galaxy. Mellotronen runs the community Mello-Club at a café in Stockholm.

## Career

During the 1980s Stefan Dimle was a member of several local rock bands in his former hometown Borlänge. One of the bands was Kajuku. Some members from that band are currently in Opeth and Anekdoten. 1986 Stefan Dimle started the rock club Mellotronen in Borlänge. The company existed on a parallel basis in Stockholm and Borlänge. The shop had a huge section of rare and hard to find CDs & LPs in the field of progressive rock. Mellotronen became an important headquarters for musicians and fans of progressive rock during the 1990s. The shop Mellotronen was located on the fashionable street Kåkbrinken in Gamla Stan in the center of Stockholm. Nowadays one can find Dimle and his company in the city of Gustavsberg.

Stefan Dimle was a member of the band Landberk between 1990 and 1997. They recorded three albums and two EPs on various record labels like Record Heaven, Mega Rock and the American label Laser's Edge. The progressive rock groups Landberk, Änglagård and Anekdoten co-operated a lot, and all three of them used the instrument Mellotron as a main instrument. These three groups led the way for many new bands in the progressive genre. All three of them were famous on an international level.

The label Mellotronen started 1991 with a CD reissue of Solid Grounds debut album from 1976. Since then has Dimle released around 50 different CD and vinyl albums. The latest ones are a double-CD with Trettioåriga Kriget and two albums with Sabu Martinez. Dimle and Mellotronen has co-operated a lot with labels like Universal, The National Swedish Radio, MNW, Sony and EMI.

Together with members from Landberk and Anekdoten, Dimle started the project Morte Macabre, who has made a career in film circuits with their repertoire of new versions of old soundtracks from mainly Italian horror movies. The band Paatos started in 1999 and Dimle performed with them til 2008. Paatos has released four albums and 7" inch vinyl single. Dimle has also performed with Emma Nordenstam, And the machine said behold, Turid and Onkel Kånkel and his kånkelbär.

In January 2007 organised Dimle a rock festival on board the ship Silja Festival to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mellotronen company. Among the many artists that performed on board can the following ones be mentioned, Fläsket Brinner, November, Asoka, Morte Macabre, Solid Ground and Emma Nordenstam. In March 2008 was it time for a 2nd rock cruise on the ship Silja Symphony. Many people came to see bands like Opeth, Katatonia and Comus. In April 2009 the third rock cruise was supposed to take place with the destination Finland, this time on board the M/S Galaxy. However, a few months before the date Dimle announced that Melloboat 2009 had been cancelled. Among the many artist that was supposed to perform on the cruise was Meshuggah, May Blitz and Steven Wilson.

# Thymoglobulin

**Thymoglobulin** (manufactured by Sanofi) is an anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin preparation made of purified polyclonal antibodies derived from rabbits. While these antibodies have a variety of specificities, their main mechanism of immunosuppression is through depletion of T cells. Thymoglobulin is currently approved for clinical use in Europe and the United States for renal allograft rejection, prevention of graft-vs.-host disease, and conditions involving bone marrow failure, including aplastic anemia and has additional off-label uses.

## History of antithymocyte globulin

Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) was originally developed as one of various tested preparations of antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) specifically generated against human lymphocytes within the thymus, or thymocytes. The purpose of this research was largely to produce an effective immunosuppressive agent safe for use in humans. Since the discovery of a link between antilymphocyte serum (ALS) and lymphocyte depletion by Metchnikoff in 1899, various studies have demonstrated the immunosuppressive ability of ALG and ATG. Experiments on ALS that confirmed its efficacy in lymphocyte depletion led to testing of different types of preparations including ALG, which were ALS produced against human lymphocytes, and ATG.

A number of studies conducted in the 1960s, including studies by Starzl et al. and Mathe et al., resulted in promising data for the clinical use of ALG for preserving short-term and long-term kidney function in patients immediately after human kidney transplantation. Use of equine ALG was also found to be efficacious in preventing acute graft-vs.-host-disease in patients’ post-allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Experimentation with ALG and ATG preparations from different sources followed, leading to testing of ATG derived from rabbit serum. Thymoglobulin was the first commercial rabbit-derived ATG to be introduced in Europe and the US in the 1980s. Due to its demonstrated efficacy as an immunosuppressive agent, it remains a commonly used ATG for induction therapy and treatment of other associated conditions, such as graft-vs.-host disease and aplastic anemia.

## Mechanism of immunosuppression

As an rATG, thymoglobulin consists of polyclonal antibodies, which, unlike monoclonal antibodies, target a large variety of immune cell surface proteins, including B and T lymphocyte, natural killer cell, and plasma cell surface antigens. However, its efficacy as an immunosuppressive agent is primarily through rapid induced apoptosis of CD3+ T cells present in the bloodstream. Even at low levels of concentration (up to 1 ug/mL), rATG T-cell depletive ability is still sound, but higher concentrations of ATG can induce lysis of T lymphocytes through the classical complement pathway along with B cell and NK cell depletion as well . Thymoglobulin has also demonstrated the ability to induce expression of a number of regulatory cell markers *in vitro*, including CD25, GITR, and CTLA-4 (aka CD152, functions as immune checkpoint, downregulates immune response). Recent research has suggested that Thymoglobulin may also contribute to T-cell anergy, in which T-cells remain inactive, though further research must be done to confirm this interaction.

## Clinical applications

Thymoglobulin is commonly used to prevent and treat acute rejection and increase graft survival in solid organ transplantation (SOT), especially kidney, liver, pancreas, and heart transplantation. As multiple studies have demonstrated both its efficacy and safety in a clinical setting, it is also used in different minimization regimens to reduce the application of higher risk immunosuppressive agents such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) in solid organ transplantation. Because both corticosteroids and CNIs have been found to potentially cause long-term adverse effects in the body, a multitude of studies have been conducted to examine the efficacy of thymoglobulin in SOT either with minimal usage or without the use of either agent. Findings have indicated that use of thymoglobulin alone minimizes risk of adverse effects and thus improves long-term outcomes for transplant patients.

Thymoglobulin is also an effective agent for preventing graft-vs.-host disease in patients receiving haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). GVHD is a condition in which immune cells within the graft attack host cells and cause tissue damage. It is considered a major obstacle to successful HSCT. The T-cell depleting activity of thymoglobulin has proved to be useful in preventing GVHD.

Multiple studies have indicated that thymoglobulin is favored in comparison to other induction agents for patients who have increased risk of developing post-transplant complications, such as elderly patients, patients undergoing a repeat transplantation, and patients in which minimization of use of steroids or CNIs post-operation is recommended.

# E86 cluster bomb

The **E86 cluster bomb** was an American biological cluster bomb first developed in 1951. Though the U.S. military intended to procure 6,000 E86s, the program was halted in the first half of the 1950s.

## History

The E86 cluster bomb was developed as a biological weapon by the United States Army Chemical Corps and the United States Air Force beginning in October 1951. The Ralph M. Parsons Company was contracted to produce the E86 in October 1952. In 1953 procurement began for 6,000 E86 cluster bombs, with their production expected no earlier than 1958. When U.S. military munition requirements were reviewed in the first half of the 1950s, production and further development of the E86 was halted. The E86 cluster bomb supplanted technologies such as the E77 balloon bomb.

## Specifications

The E86 was similar to the M115 biological bomb, except it was larger. While the M115 weighed 500 pounds (227 kg), the E86 was a 750-pound (340 kg) weapon. Regardless, operationally, the E86 was similar to the M115. It was designed as an anti-crop weapon; the U.S. biological weapons program produced three anti crop agents, wheat and rye stem rust and rice blast. The weapon was in a steel case and intended to be dropped from the exterior of an aircraft such as the B-47 or B-52. Sub-munitions included the E14 munition; the sub-munition was originally intended as anti-crop weapons as well, but was later altered and used in testing as the U.S. pursued an entomological warfare program.

# Tibor Wlassics

**Tibor Ivan Wlassics** (Hungarian pronunciation: \[ˈtibor ˈivaːn vlɒʃːit͡ʃ\]; 1936 – 28 October 1998) was a Hungarian scholar of Italian literature. He fled Hungary after the 1956 revolution and eventually settled in the United States, becoming a professor at the University of Virginia. He is most remembered for his research on the poet Dante Alighieri, though he also wrote about Italian figures such as Galileo Galilei and Cesare Pavese.

## Biography

Wlassics was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1936 to an aristocratic family. After World War II and the formation of the Hungarian People's Republic, his father was imprisoned for refusing to give up his title and mansion. Though Wlassics was well-educated, he was not allowed to attend university because of his upper-class status, instead working first in manual labour and then in translation. One of the works he translated into Hungarian during this time was Federico García Lorca's *Romancero gitano*.

After the Revolution of 1956, Wlassics fled to Austria and then settled in Italy. Despite not knowing any Italian upon arrival, he went on to receive a *laurea* in Italian literature from the University of Genoa. He earned money while studying by taking trips to Rhode Island to work with his uncle as an oxygen therapist. He eventually settled with his family in New Brunswick, New Jersey, enrolling at Columbia University and receiving a doctorate in 1967. He began working as a professor at the University of Pittsburgh the next year. In 1981, Wlassics became a visiting professor at the University of Virginia and a year later joined their staff full time. While there, he established their Master of Arts program in Italian studies.

## Work and reception

Much of the career of Wlassics was devoted to the study of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. While at the University of Virginia, Wlassics founded *Lectura Dantis*, a journal of "Dante research and interpretation" that ran twice a year and wrote an original translation of Dante's *Inferno*. From 1990 to 1995, Wlassics published a series of *Introductory Readings* for Dante's *Divine Comedy,* which was praised by a colleague as "the first complete, multivoice series in English of readings for the *Commedia.*"

Wlassics was also considered an expert on other Italian figures such as Galileo Galilei, Giovanni Verga, and Cesare Pavese. One academic wrote that his work on the latter "revolutionized the field of Pavese studies".

## Legacy

Wlassics died on 28 October 1998. He received in-depth obituaries in the Dante Society of America's journal *Dante Studies* and in the journal *Italica*. The University of Virginia's Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese has held an ongoing *Tibor Wlassics Faculty Lecture Series* since 1984.

## Plot

Unscrupulous smugglers are attempting to steal the "Magic Muffler," a device that can make an aircraft practically silent. Flying at night would make the smugglers and their forays across the border, impossible to detect.

The smugglers led by rancher Paul Murdock (Earl Metcalfe), capture the inventor, Professor Payson (Josef Swickard), holding him hostage until they get the secrets to his invention. Unable to get Payson to make another device, the gang then kidnaps Professor Payson's daughter (Shirley Palmer) to force her father to work for them. Even faced with torture, she refuses to help the smugglers.

Secret Service Agent Frank Boyd (Frank Clarke) is called in to confront Murdock and his gang. With the Professor and his daughter on a speeding train, Frank manages to land his Curtiss "Jenny" aircraft on a flat car of the moving train, in time to effect a rescue and win the girl in the end.

## Cast

## Production

Aviation historian and author Don Dwiggins observed that the "Undisputed king of the Hollywood stunt pilots when Mantz arrived was Frank Clarke, a tall, handsome, part-Indian ex-cowboy who melted the hearts of women and froze the hearts of men. A 'born' pilot, Clarke was hopping passengers at Venice Field in 1918 on the same day he soloed. His good looks won him the lead role in the flying film serial *Eagle of the Night* (1928) at Pathé Studios."

"In addition, Clarke insisted on writing his own scripts, calling for such suicidal stunts as landing on top of a speeding passenger train. He came closer to disaster on this one, when a wheel stuck between two cars; it came free when the train rounded a curve."

Principal photography on *Eagle of the Night* took place over Baja California with Clarke and his friend, Roy Wilson, doing all the aerial stunts. The aerial sequences in the serial included many of Clarke's most famous stunts.

## Reception

Aviation film historian James Farmer in *Celluloid Wings: The Impact of Movies on Aviation* (1984) considered *Eagle of the Night*, a "... vehicle for Clarke's aerial stunting which lacked any real aerial appeal."

# E. J. Jones

**Earnest Christopher "E. J." Jones** (born February 1, 1962) is a former American football fullback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Kansas City Chiefs, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at the University of Kansas.

## Early life

Jones attended Chicago Vocational High School, where he was a starter at running back. He accepted a football scholarship from the University of Kansas. As a senior, he was named a starter at fullback, registering 98 carries for 417 yards (4.3-yard avg.) and 2 rushing touchdowns.

## Professional career

Jones was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Kansas City Chiefs after the 1984 NFL draft on May 5. He was waived before the start of the season. In 1985, he was signed for training camp and was later released on August 26. On September 16, he was re-signed. He appeared in 5 games, registering 12 carries for 19 yards. On October 23, he was released to make room for the signing of running back Mike Pruitt.

On July 9, 1986, he was signed by the Chicago Bears as a free agent. He was waived on August 24 and placed on the injured reserve list the next day. He was released after the fourth regular season game.

In 1987, he was signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys. He was waived on August 31. After the NFLPA strike was declared on the third week of the season, those contests were canceled (reducing the 16-game season to 15) and the NFL decided that the games would be played with replacement players. He was re-signed to be a part of the Dallas replacement team that was given the mock name "Rhinestone Cowboys" by the media.

# Thrichittatt Maha Vishnu Temple

The **Thrichittatt Mahavishnu Temple** (also called **Thiruchenkundrur** and **Imayavarappan temple**) is a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu, located in Chengannur, Alappuzha District, Kerala, South India. Constructed in the Kerala style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the *Nalayira Divya Prabandham*, by Nammalvar, one of the Sri Vaishnava saint-poets of the 8th century called the Alvars. It is one of the 108 *Divya Desams* dedicated to Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, who is worshipped as Imayavarappan. The nearest railway station to the temple is located in Chengannur, while the nearest airports are Trivandrum International Airport and Cochin International Airport Ernakulam.

It is one of the five ancient shrines in the Chengannur area of Kerala, connected with the legend of Mahabharata, where the five Pandavas are believed to have built one temple each; Thrichittatt Maha Vishnu Temple by Yudhishthira, Puliyur Mahavishnu Temple by Bhima, Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple by Arjuna, Thiruvanvandoor Mahavishnu Temple by Nakula and Thrikodithanam Mahavishnu Temple by Sahadeva.

The temple is open from 5:00 am to 11:00 am and 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm and is administered by Travancore Devaswom Board of the Government of Kerala.

## Legend

It is one of the five ancient shrines in the Chengannur area of Kerala, connected with the legend of Mahabharata. Legend has it that the Pandava princes, after crowning Parikshit as king of Hastinapura left on a pilgrimage. On arriving on the banks of river Pamba, each one is believed to have installed a tutelary image of Krishna; Thrichittatt Maha Vishnu Temple by Yudhishthira, Puliyur Mahavishnu Temple by Bhima, Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple by Arjuna, Thiruvanvandoor Mahavishnu Temple by Nakula and Thrikodithanam Mahavishnu Temple by Sahadeva.

During the Kurukshetra War, Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pandavas, who never before uttered a lie, lied in one instant to defeat his guru, Drona. To overcome the sin of the lie, according to this temple's regional legend, he underwent penance worshiping Vishnu here. The (devas) came to this place prior to Yudhishthira and hence the deity here is referred as Imayavarappar. There is another version that the Pandavas worshipped the idols during the reign and started installing them in different places during the end of the reign.

Thiruchittattu temple, is considered to be one among the 108 most sacred place of worship, where it is believed Vishnu himself resides.

The temple is believed to have been built by devas along the banks of Chittar, a tributary of holy river Pampa, before mankind was born. The temple, was then renovated, by Yudhishthira in Dvapara Yuga. The temple is considered to be the primary temple among the five Mahavishnu Temples built by Pandavas.

In Dvapara Yuga, the Pandavas resided at present day Chengannur for a large duration of their exile, hence, after the passing of deity Krishna, Sage Bhrigu persuaded the Pandavas to consecrate four sacred temples in the vicinity, to the deity, who was their guide and protector in Mahabharata

This would allow daily offerings and pooja to be carried out on the benevolent deity, in the form of the Thevaram, not only by Pandavas but also all the people who helped Pandavas survive during the exile. The Pandavas, maintained and performed puja in the five temples till their svargarohanam (Auspicious journey to Vaikuntham)

Yudhishthira on renovation of the temple, installed the Thevara Moorthy of Vishnu with a tutelary image of the deity Krishna. This unique idol, is facing east in a standing posture, with four arms, holding the - Panchajanya (conch) in the upper right hand, Sudarshana Chakra (discus) in the upper left hand, and a lotus in the lower right hand. The lower left hand is free, however Vishnu idols generally have the Kaumodaki (mace) in this hand.

Yudhishthira after having a holy bath, installed the idols after immersing it in the Pushkarani (Pond), filling the Conch with its water and performed the first Pooja after installation

Hence, the pond at Thrichittat is named as - Amurtha Pushkarani, since the idol was immersed in it and as - Shankha Tirtham, on the occasion of the pond's water filling the Conch, therefore, worshipping at Shankha Tirtham, is considered equivalent to that of Sree Kovil (Sanctum Sanctorum of the Temple), and full darshanam is complete when both places are worshipped

## History

Earliest references to this temple appear in the poems and hymns composed by the greatest of Alvar saints - Nammalvar, in circa 800 CE. Stone inscriptions in the temple date it back to the Second Chera Empire (800 - 1102 CE). In modern times, the temple is administered by Travancore Devaswom Board of the Government of Kerala. There are no historical records to indicate when the temple was built. As per local legend, the temple was believed to have been built by devas.

## Architecture

The temple is built in Kerala style architecture, common in all temples in the South Indian state of Kerala in Eastern axis. The temple has no gateway tower and has an arch from the main road. A rectangular wall around the temple, called *Kshetra-Madilluka* pierced by the gateways, encloses all the shrines of the temple. The metal plated flagpost or *dvajasthambam* is located axial to the temple tower leading to the central sanctum. *Chuttuambalam* is the outer pavilion within the temple walls. The central shrine and the associated hall is located in a rectangular structure called *Nallambalam*, which has pillared halls and corridors. Between the entrance of *Nallambalam* to the sanctum, there is a raised square platform called *Namaskara Mandapa* which has a pyramidal roof. *Thevrapura*, the kitchen used to cook offering to the deity is located on the left of *Namaskara Mandapa* from the entrance. *Balithara* is an altar is used for making ritualistic offering to demi-gods and the festive deities. The central shrine called *Sreekovil* houses the image of the presiding deity. It is on an elevated platform with a single door reached through five steps. As per Kerala rituals, only the main priest called Thantri and the second priest called Melshanthi alone can enter the *Sree Kovil*. The central shrine has a circular plan with the base built of granite, superstructure built of laterite and conical roof made of terrocata tile supported from inside by a wooden structure. The image of the presiding deity is 4 ft (1.2 m) tall. Krishna is in his vishvarupa pose, the one he depicted to Arjuna during the Kurukshetra War. In the second precinct, there are shrines of Sastha, Yakshi, Nagaraja and Erangavil Bhagavathy Balarama in the lower shrine.

# Biddlestone Chapel

**Biddlestone Chapel** is a redundant Roman Catholic chapel in Biddlestone, Northumberland, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II\* listed building, and it is owned by the Historic Chapels Trust. The lower parts of the structure, a former pele tower, are designated as a Scheduled Monument. The chapel is located on the slopes of the Cheviot Hills in the Northumberland National Park.

## History

Biddlestone Chapel was built in or about 1820 for the Roman Catholic Selby family of Biddlestone Hall, the architect probably being John Dobson who designed the now demolished Selby mansion in a severe Greek revival style. It is constructed on the site of a 13th-century pele tower, which was attached to the hall, and incorporates some of its fabric. Alterations were made to the interior of the chapel in 1862 by William Selby. The Biddlestone estate was sold in 1914, and the chapel became the responsibility of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. During the Second World War the basement was converted into an air raid shelter. The chapel became redundant in 1992, and transferred to the ownership of Historic Chapels Trust in 1996. The Trust carried out a programme of restoration and repair in 2008. The rest of the hall was demolished circa 1960.

## Architecture

### Exterior

Medieval masonry from the pele tower has been retained in the lower parts of the chapel, clearly seen on the exterior. This extends up to the eaves on the north side, with walls up to 6 feet (1.8 m) high, and as a result, the chapel appears tall for its footprint. The rest of the chapel is constructed in random rubble ashlar. It has a Lakeland slate roof. The chapel has three bays. At the east end is an entrance and a three-light window with Y-tracery. There are three more windows on the south side. The west end was formerly attached to the hall. It is irregular and patched, and contains parts of blocked mullioned windows. There is also a doorway leading to a stairway to the upper floor; this was initially external, but has been closed in. On the east gable is a foliated cross finial.

### Interior

Inside, the basement is the tunnel vaulted lower part of the tower. At the east end of this is a corrugated iron air raid shelter. Upstairs is the chapel proper, with plastered walls, a timber roof, and Gothic Revival fittings. Originally the walls were decorated with stencilling. There are heraldic crests in stained glass of the Selby family. The walls at the east end are inscribed with quotations from the Psalms. Flanking the altar are statues of Mary and Joseph. The Stations of the Cross are represented by photographs. The stained glass in the east window is attributed to William Wailes, and depicts the Crucifixion.

# Rincon 1

**Rincon 1** was a CubeSat built by the Student Satellite Program of the University of Arizona. The primary payload was furnished by Rincon Research, hence the name. Rincon 1 was the product of the work of about 50 students, ranging from college freshmen to Ph.D. students, over the course of several years. It was launched, after being postponed several times, on board a Dnepr on July 26, 2006, but the rocket failed and the satellite was destroyed.

## Listening

If the launch had been successful, persons on the ground would have needed this information to be able to hear the beacons from the satellite.

1. The keplerian elements, in order to know where the satellite is pointed.
2. A radio capable of operating on 436.870 MHz, which will change with doppler shifting. There is also a beacon operating on 437.345 MHz. It is a very weak signal.
3. A 1200 baud AFSK modem, preferably a very low-end, that does no modulation on its own. Cubesat Ground Station uses a custom-built hardware modem, and possibly a software modem (using the sound card as an Analog-to-Digital converter).
4. The Cubesat GS software would help, however, it is not currently available to the public.
5. A good antenna system, the design of the antennas is not optimal.

## Components

Rincon 1 had the following components included:

* 6 solar cells
* Aluminum frame - built to spin-stabilize through sunlight
* Power board (used to hold batteries, maintain 5V and 3.3V charges, measure voltages and currents in several spots, and convert the power from the solar cells to usable power.)
* 16-bit microcontroller board with PIC16C277 microchip, which is used to gather and transmit telemetry
* Radio board, which is used for 2 way communication
* Experiment - Contains a 10 mW beacon board, which is being used by Rincon Research to prove new technologies

## Specifications

These specifications are without respect to the payload:

* Dimensions - 10 cm×10 cm×10 cm
* Mass - max 1 kg (Actual ~900 grams)
* Power Generation - Optimum ~2 W, average on sun side ~1.5 W
* Max power output - 3W when transmitting data
* Min power output - 400 mW when in a quiet state

## Current status

Rincon 1 was launched with UA's satellite, SACRED on a Dnepr rocket on July 26, 2006 at 19:43 UTC. The launch failed shortly after takeoff.

title: Biddleville Quintette

abstract: The Biddleville Quintette was a vocal group from the Biddleville neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, who recorded traditional black gospel for Paramount Records between 1926 and 1929. Although little information is available about the ensemble, the group is thought to have been led by a laborer, Adam Brown, and comprised four male singers and one woman. Their 36 recordings, released by Paramount on 78 rpm records, have become prized by collectors for their "passionate intensity and soulful delivery", featuring "call and response sanctified singing and sermons peppered with emphatic shouts and hollers. The 1929 recordings include instances of shape-note singing and progressive congregational polyphony...". The group's 1926 recording of "Way Down in Egypt Land" has been cited by researcher Steven Baur as an early forerunner of rock and roll, for its consistently sustained and forceful handclapped backbeat. A later recording of the song, in 1929, was among the first gospel recordings to feature percussion instruments, thought to be a tambourine and washboard. The group's complete recordings have been released on two albums by Document Records.

# Robert Bell Wheler

**Robert Bell Wheler** (1 January 1785 – 15 July 1857) was an English antiquarian.

## Biography

Wheler was born at Stratford-on-Avon on 1 January 1785, was son of Robert Wheler (1742–1819), a solicitor of that town. His mother was Elizabeth Loder of Meon Hall, Lower Quinton, Gloucestershire. His Christian name was derived from his godfather, Robert Bell, who belonged to an old Worcestershire family. Robert Bell Wheler was educated at Stratford, and was subsequently articled to his father. He appears scarcely to have left his native town, except when he went to London for a month at the date of his formal admission as a solicitor. He practised his profession at Stratford until his death, residing continuously in a pleasant old house (Avon Croft 2), part of a mansion formerly belonging to the Clopton family, in Old Town, near the parish church.

In youth he joined the Stratford volunteer corps, and afterwards became a lieutenant and quartermaster in the 3rd regiment of Warwickshire militia, which was stationed at Stratford under Colonel Sheldon. But his main interest through life was in Shakespearean research and local topography. He had scarcely attained his majority when he published his first book, ‘The History and Antiquities of Stratford-upon-Avon,’ 1806. This accurate and careful compilation remains a standard work of reference. The eight plates illustrating the ‘History’ were engraved by F. Eginton of Birmingham from Wheler's own sketches. In 1814, was published Wheler's ‘Guide to Stratford-upon-Avon,’ a useful volume, which was reprinted in 1850. Although the ‘Guide’ excludes documents, it contains more information on some points than the ‘History.’ Wheler's last publication was a large quarto pamphlet, now very scarce, entitled ‘Historical and Descriptive Account of the Birthplace of Shakespeare’ (1829); it was illustrated with a plan and nine lithographs by C. F. Green. The work supplies an accurate and minute description of Shakespeare's birthplace as it stood in the beginning of the nineteenth century. Wheler also contributed articles, chiefly on Shakespearean subjects, to the ‘Gentleman's Magazine.’ He was a friend of Britton, author of the ‘Cathedrals of England,’ and corresponded with him.

Wheler died unmarried on 15 July 1857, and was buried beside his father in the churchyard of his native town.

Wheler left a quarto autograph manuscript volume of ‘Collectanea de Stratford.’ This, together with a portion of his library, his collection of local deeds and original documents, coins, and other relics local and Shakespearean, including a gold signet-ring believed to have belonged to Shakespeare, were given by his sister, Anne Wheler (1783–1870), to the trustees of Shakespeare's Birthplace, and are now located in the Birthplace museum. J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps privately printed a hand-list of Wheler's collections in 1863, with a biographical preface.

# Robert Kaufelt

**Robert Ian Kaufelt** (October 7, 1947) is a "pioneer" in upscale supermarkets and specialty foods and the former owner of Murray's Cheese who is credited with turning Murray's into the "Apple Store of fromage." In 1991, he bought Murray's Cheese, the oldest cheese shop in New York City, founded by Murray Greenberg. He turned the store into a nationally recognized "gourmet destination". Kaufelt is an "important presence in the specialty food industry" as an innovative retailer, author of The Murray's Cheese Handbook, educator and "sought-after speaker".

## Early life

Kaufelt was born in Highland Park, NJ to a family of grocers. His paternal grandfather, Irving, was a Polish immigrant who opened Kaufelt Brothers Fancy Groceries in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, in 1920. Kaufelt's father, Stanley P. Kaufelt, owned Mayfair Supermarkets Inc., which operated a chain of 28 groceries trading under the banner of Foodtown. In 1995, Stanley Kaufelt sold Mayfair Supermarkets to the Dutch supermarket company Ahold.

## Career

### Early career

After graduating from Cornell University in 1969 with a BA in government, Kaufelt joined Mayfair Supermarket Inc. and eventually became president. He left Mayfair in 1985 to open two specialty stores in Princeton and Summit, NJ, called Kaufelt's Fancy Groceries which was named after the original family grocery in Perth Amboy, NJ. These stores "innovated supermarket quality and service." When the Princeton shop failed in 1987, Kaufelt sold the Summit location and moved to Greenwich Village.

### Murray's Cheese

Upon arriving in New York, Kaufelt approached Louis Tudda, who had bought Murrays from Greenberg in the 1960s and was now losing the lease. He acquired the name and remaining stock. Throughout the 90s, Kaufelt worked behind the counter and did "whatever it took to succeed".

During his tenure as owner, Kaufelt built Murray's Cheese into a "national enterprise", "representing a large share of the specialty cheese market". Three times, Murray's Cheese was named "one of the best cheese shops in the world". In 2005, Kaufelt was on the cover of Cornell Alumni Magazine and was credited as "leading a cheese revolution". Murray's is noted in the *Oxford Companion to Cheese* as "worldwide reputation for outstanding quality."

In addition to the flagship location on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, Kaufelt opened a branch in Grand Central Terminal in 2002 and a restaurant, Murray's Cheese Bar, in 2012.

#### Innovations

After buying in 1991, he added temperature-controlled aging caves in the basement (with a sidewalk window for customers to watch cavemasters practice affinage, or cheese aging). Kaufelt opened a classroom to instruct professionals and the public in cheese and cheese pairings, including a 3-day Cheese U Boot Camp. Nationally, Kaufelt developed the Murray's Certified Cheese Professional (CCP) program, which brought cheese in line with other professional food credentials, such as pastry chefs and sommeliers. Students must pass a rigorous test from the American Cheese Society, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1983 to support the North American artisanal and specialty cheese industry. More than 5,000 attendees have completed the training; hundreds of Murray's Cheese staff in New York and in Kroger supermarkets are certified cheese professionals. According to Edible Manhattan, Murray's was “a launchpad for many of the most important businesses in the current good food movement.”

#### Kroger partnership

In 2005, Kaufelt entered a partnership with Ohio-based Kroger Company. By 2016, the partnership helped expand Murray's Cheese shops to 350 locations in Kroger's across the country. There are currently over 800 Murray's cheese shops in Kroger chains including King Soopers, Ralph's, Fry's, Fred Meyer and others.

In 2017, Kroger purchased Murray's Cheese with Kaufelt, who stayed affiliated as a "strategic advisor." At the time of sale, related businesses included classroom; caves, import company; early online website ('89); catalogue; restaurant; private label; mac and cheese concept.

## Awards

## Personal life

Kaufelt's previous two marriages ended in divorce. A previous relationship, with the Anglo-Irish food writer Tamasin Day-Lewis, was chronicled in recipes & narrative by Day-Lewis in *Where Shall We Go for Dinner?* and goes into great detail about Kaufelt's travel around the world to find the finest cheeses.

In 2010, Kaufelt married Nina Planck, a Virginia-born food writer, farmers’ market entrepreneur, founder of London Farmers' Markets and author of The Real Food Cookbook." The couple lives in New York City and in Stockton, NJ, with their children: Julian, born October 24, 2006, and twins Jacob and Rose, born August 4, 2009. In 2010, Kaufelt released an album dedicated to Planck called Sweet Virginia Girl.


title: Robert Kautsky

# Robert Kautsky

**Robert Kautsky** (26 October 1895 – 18 June 1963) was an Austrian theatre painter, stage and costume designer, who worked for many years at the Vienna State Opera and at the Salzburg Festival.

## Life and work

Born in Vienna, Kautsky came from a family of theatre painters and actors. His grandfather Johann Kautsky (1827–1896) was a painter and stage designer in Prague, his grandmother was the actress and writer Minna Kautsky (1837–1912). His father, Hans Joseph Wilhelm Kautsky (1864–1937), was a royal Austrian and royal Prussian court theatre painter in Vienna and Berlin. His eldest brother Hans Kautsky (1891–1966) became a famous chemist, and his second brother Fritz worked as a geologist in Sweden. His uncle was the social democratic theorist Karl Kautsky (1854–1938), married to Luise Kautsky.

Kautsky graduated from the Gymnasium in Vienna and then went to the academy in Berlin-Charlottenburg. After the end of the First World War, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

His grandfather Johann Kautsky was a highly respected stage painter who decorated numerous new productions of the Vienna Court Opera in the 1870s and 1880s. For example, he designed the sets for the Vienna premiere of Meyerbeer's *L'Africaine* in 1870 and, together with Carlo Brioschi and Hermann Burghart, designed the scenery for two other important Viennese premieres: Verdi's *Aida* in 1874 and Wagner's *Siegfried* in 1878. The sets of *L'Africaine* could still be seen at the Vienna Opera until 1903, those of *Aida* until December 1931. The grandson followed in his grandfather's footsteps and worked for the Vienna State Opera already in 1920, at the age of 25. He was in charge of the "Decorative set with use of the original Italian designs" for Puccini's comic opera *Gianni Schicchi*. In 1921, he became director of the painters' hall at the Vienna State Opera. In the same year he married Rosa Krupha. In 1924 he became a member of the Kunstgemeinschaft Wien.

For many years he assisted the legendary set designer Alfred Roller and was jointly responsible for the decorations for *Feuersnot* by Richard Strauss in March 1922. In December of the same year, his first independent set had its premiere, Engelbert Humperdinck's fairy-tale opera *Hänsel und Gretel*, staged by Woldemar Runge and conducted by Richard Strauss. He had a long-standing collaboration with the composer and conductor, both in Vienna, where Kautsky set *Arabella*, *Ariadne auf Naxos* and the *Der Rosenkavalier*, among others, and in Salzburg. Like Strauss, Kautsky was active in Vienna and Salzburg throughout all the system changes – from the first Austrian Republic to the Ständestaat and the Anschluss to the Second Austrian Republic. It is not known how far he came to terms with the Nazi regime.

He debuted at the Salzburg Festival, again with Roller, in 1933 for another Richard Strauss premiere, *Die ägyptische Helena*. He worked with a number of renowned conductors and directors in Salzburg, most recently with Oscar Fritz Schuh for a new *Così fan tutte* in 1947. Kautsky's most successful productions were created in the post-war years at the Staatsoper's temporary quarters, at the Volksoper and at the Theater an der Wien. The sets for Beethoven's *Fidelio* were used in 145 performances, those for Offenbach's *The Tales of Hoffmann* 216 times. Both productions were made in 1945, the *Fidelio* was directed by Erich von Wymetal, the Offenbach opera by Oscar Fritz Schuh. His *Aida* production from 1946 reached 290 performances, the new production of *the magic flute* from 1948 was shown 239 times, *Der Rosenkavalier* from 1955 a total of 175 times.

Three quite different works are recorded in the archives as the last stage sets at the State Opera in 1960: *Andrea Chénier* in May, *Capriccio* in June and *Der Wildschütz* in October. The decorations of *Capriccio* remained in the State Opera's repertoire until 1997, 33 years after Kautsky' death in Leoben at the age of 67.

It is located about three miles from Sidmouth, in Devonshire. It had been in the East Budleigh Hundred.

## Manor

### 12th and 13th centuries

This manor was held in demesne by William Portitor, the king's door-keeper, at the time of the taking the Domesday Survey. It was held as the king's gaol for the county of Devon. The manor of Bicton was granted by King Henry I to John Janitor. In 1229, Ralph Balistarius, or Le Balister (the cross-bow-bearer), occupied the manor. His descendants, the Alabasters, a corruption of Le Balister, held the manor for five generations. It then was passed to the Sacheville, or Sackville, and Copleston families through female heirs.

### 16th to 18th centuries

The lord of Bicton held responsibility for managing the gaol, but it was removed from Bicton House to Exeter. It was purchased in the 16th century of the Coplestones by Sir Robert Denys (1525–1592) of nearby Holcombe Burnel, who built a new manor house and created one of the county's first enclosed deer parks. Sir Robert Denys's son, Sir Thomas Denys died and his daughter Anne Denys received the manor. She had married Sir Henry Rolle (d.1616) of Stevenstone, Devon and the estate was conveyed to her husband. Henry was the son of John Rolle, and great grandson to the founder of the Rolle family of Stevenstone, George Rolle (died 1552). Henry and the former Miss Deny's son, Dennis Rolle, Esquire died in 1638, leaving a son who died in his infancy and a daughter named Florence.

Henry's nephew, also named Henry, of Beam near Torrington, inherited the estate, but died without a living heir in 1647. The manor was then passed to John Rolle through marriage to his cousin Florence Rolle, co-heiress of Dennis Rolle, Esquire of Bicton, who at the time of his death in 1706 held nearly 40 manors in Devonshire and estates in Cornwall, Somersetshire, and Northamptonshire. John had married the heiress of Marrais and settled there. He was made Knight of the Bath (K.B.) and was a representative for the county. John and Florence had four sons, the eldest son was the grandfather of Henry was made Baron Role in 1748 and died in 1750 without issue and the title became extinct. In 1787 the lord of the manor was exonerated from the superintendence of the county gaol. The title Baron Rolle was revived in 1796, when Henry Rolle's nephew, John Rolle, Esquire was created a peer by the same style and title.

### 19th and 20th centuries

In about 1800 John Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle (d.1842), son of Dennis Rolle (d.1797), replaced the old manor house with the existing three-storey mansion, designed by architect James Wyatt and built in red brick and limestone. Wyatt also designed the Lodge, built at the same time.

The site was described about 1820 to have a "commanding full view of the British Channel" and ancient beech and oak trees within the estate's park. The mansion, with two extensive wings, held an extensive collection of art, including works by Rembrandt and Ruysdael. It looked over the village of Otterton, with its little church, and the "lovely peep" between the Saltern and the ocean. A Gothic lodge is located at the main entrance, followed by a rustic inner lodge. Another entrance is by a "neat cottage-lodge." An obelisk is seen from most parts of the ground.

John Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle married the Hon. Louisa Trefusis, a relative and second daughter of Robert Trefusis, 17th Baron Clinton. He died without issue in 1842. The Stevenstone and Bicton estates, amounting to some 55,000 acres (220 km2), devolved by his will to Hon. Mark George Kerr Trefusis (1836–1907), then aged 6, the nephew of his second wife Louisa Trefusis (1794–1885) (daughter of Robert George William Trefusis, 17th Baron Clinton (1764–1797)), and second son of the 19th Baron Clinton. On his inheritance in 1852 he changed his surname to Rolle; he died without issue in 1907, his heir being his nephew Charles John Robert Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis, 21st Baron Clinton (1863–1957).

## Agricultural college

In 1947 the 21st Baron Clinton leased (and later in 1957 sold) the house and part of the grounds to Devon County Council for the creation of Bicton Farm Institute, which later became Bicton College. In 1957 the same property was sold to the council. The present Baron Clinton continues to own part of the grounds and Bicton Arena, used for equestrian events, and the headquarters of the Clinton Devon Estates Company, which owns 25,000 acres (100 km2) of agricultural land in Devon (167th of the county), is nearby.

During the Second World War it housed St Ronan's School, which is now based near Hawkhurst in Kent.

title: Big Bend, South Australia

abstract: Big Bend in South Australia is the longest single bend in the Murray River. The area is known for its spectacular riverside cliffs, which are the tallest along the Murray River. The limestone cliffs are rich with millions of ocean fossils and are home to colonies of bats. Caves in the area have been continuously occupied for at least 8,000 years and are sacred to the local aboriginal community. There is a collection of holiday shacks located on the banks. The gazetted locality of Big Bend is on the left bank of the Murray River, upstream of the actual big bend in the river. The opposite bank is in the locality of Sunnydale. The locality is named for the row of shacks on some low ground near river level downstream of the town of Swan Reach. Views of the bend in the river are observed from near the road between Swan Reach and Nildottie which runs along the top of the cliffs. The river turns northwest just past the southeastern end of the row of shacks, passes a lagoon, then makes the sweeping Big Bend to the right through approximately 180 degrees. Then after an almost straight section, continues the right turn through another 90 degrees before the left turn round Ngaut Ngaut Conservation Park.
