# Joseph Cooper (pirate)

**Joseph Cooper** (died 1725) was a pirate active in the Caribbean and the American east coast. He was best known for sailing alongside Francis Spriggs, and for the manner of his death.

## History

Cooper's early life is not known. In 1718 he and six other pirates were tried in Philadelphia for capturing the 22-ton sloop *Antelope* in the Delaware River. They were released for lack of evidence.

By 1725 Cooper was captain of the sloop *Night Rambler.* On November 14 they captured the *Perry* near Barbados and a French sloop the next day. Cooper took both ships to Aruba to divide the plunder, forcing their crews ashore, where the ship's doctor interceded and gave them food. The *Perry’s* boatswain John Upton willingly signed the pirates’ Articles and joined them. Later Upton escaped and claimed he'd been forced to sign; witnesses contradicted him and he was hung for piracy in 1729.

Shortly after capturing the *Perry*, Cooper was sailing alongside Francis Spriggs and Captain Shipton in the Bay of Honduras; Cooper intervened when Spriggs’ men threatened to torture a prisoner. The warships *HMS Diamond* and *HMS Spence* had been hunting Shipton and Spriggs in the area for a year. Spriggs and Shipton were caught ashore, but the *Diamond* engaged Cooper's ship at sea. Rather than face capture, Cooper used a cask of gunpowder to blow up the cabin of his ship.

title: Sophie Kerr

abstract: Sophie Kerr was a prolific writer of the early 20th century whose stories about smart, ambitious women mirrored her own evolution from small-town girl to successful career woman. At a time when few women were financially self-sufficient, Kerr made her way from Maryland’s Eastern Shore to New York City, where she supported herself as a magazine editor and a writer of more than 500 short stories, 23 novels, several poems and a play that ran on Broadway. Her bequest to Washington College on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in 1965 stipulated that the proceeds of the $578,000 endowment be used to fund an annual literary prize and to support literary events and scholarships at the college. Since 1968, the college in Chestertown has awarded more than $1.4 million in prize money to promising young writers and has enabled Washington College to bring a succession of the nation’s literary luminaries to the small liberal arts college located just 30 miles from where she grew up. The childhood home of Sophie Kerr, a circa 1860 farmhouse on the corner of 5th and Kerr Avenues in Denton, Maryland, still stands. She specifically describes the house in her short story, “Coming Home for Christmas.”

# Sophie Kerr

**Sophie Kerr** (August 23, 1880 – February 6, 1965) was a prolific writer of the early 20th century whose stories about smart, ambitious women mirrored her own evolution from small-town girl to successful career woman. At a time when few women were financially self-sufficient, Kerr made her way from Maryland’s Eastern Shore to New York City, where she supported herself as a magazine editor and a writer of more than 500 short stories, 23 novels, several poems and a play that ran on Broadway.

Her bequest to Washington College on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in 1965 stipulated that the proceeds of the $578,000 endowment be used to fund an annual literary prize and to support literary events and scholarships at the college. Since 1968, the college in Chestertown has awarded more than $1.4 million in prize money to promising young writers and has enabled Washington College to bring a succession of the nation’s literary luminaries to the small liberal arts college located just 30 miles from where she grew up.

The childhood home of Sophie Kerr, a circa 1860 farmhouse on the corner of 5th and Kerr Avenues in Denton, Maryland, still stands. She specifically describes the house in her short story, “Coming Home for Christmas.”

## Life and career

Born in the Caroline County town of Denton, Maryland, in 1880, Sophie Kerr graduated from Denton High School in 1895 and went on to earn a bachelor's degree from Hood College and a master's degree from the University of Vermont. She married John DeLoss Underwood, a civil engineer, in 1904 and divorced him four years later.

In order to support herself, Kerr went into journalism, launching her career in Pittsburgh, Pa. as the women’s page editor at the *Chronicle Telegraph* and the *Pittsburgh Gazette*. Moving to New York, she became managing editor of *The Woman's Home Companion*. and published her fiction in other popular magazines of the day, including *Saturday Evening Post*, *Collier’s Saturday Review of Literature* and *McCalls*. From 1920 until her death in 1965 at age 84, Kerr lived in a brownstone residence at 115 East 38th Street, where she created something of a literary salon for her friends in publishing and theater. In 1942, as part of a celebration of the 50th anniversary of co-education at Washington College, she accepted an honorary degree along with Eleanor Roosevelt.

While her fiction is largely unknown to contemporary readers and her books are long out of print, her stories dealt with class and gender issues at work in the first half of the 20th century. “Kerr wrote stories about plucky heroines, young women who rose to the challenge and went for the gusto. They had big dreams and lots of charm and tons of blond curls. For the most part, they were smart and unassuming and hopelessly, wonderfully, kind, but they had ambition. Even her seemingly vapid heroines had hearts of gold and wills of iron hidden under all their finery.”

In her will, she left the bulk of her estate to Washington College, with the stipulation that half its income would be awarded annually to the senior showing “the most ability and promise for future fulfillment in the field of literary endeavor.” The other half funds scholarships, student publications and a series of visits by renowned writers.

## The Sophie Kerr Prize

The Sophie Kerr Prize is awarded each year to a graduating senior at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland who has demonstrated the best ability and promise for future fulfillment in the field of literary endeavor. The prize is announced at Washington College just prior to the senior commencement ceremony. Valued at $65,768 in 2016, it is the nation's largest undergraduate literary prize. Indeed, it is among the largest in the world, exceeding the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, and National Book Critics Circle.

Applicants submit portfolios of what they deem to be their best writing, which may include critical essays, creative nonfiction, poetry, fiction, journalism, stage plays, screenplays, blogging, graphic novels, or other hybrid forms. In a typical year, between 20 and 30 seniors submit portfolios for consideration. In the past, the prize has been awarded for both creative and critical writing. The 2011 Sophie Kerr Prize was awarded to Lisa Jones, an anthropology major who wrote about her life-changing trip to Tanzania. In a break from tradition, Washington College announced the winner at the Poets House in New York City where Sophie Kerr lived for more than 40 years.

The first Sophie Kerr Prize, valued at $9,000, was awarded to a Washington College senior in 1968. The exact value varies according to the return on the endowment. Since its inception, the Sophie Kerr Endowment has provided more than $1.4 million in prize money to promising young writers and has brought literary stars such as Toni Morrison, Katherine Ann Porter, Edward Albee, Natasha Trethewey, and Colum McCann to the Washington College campus.

title: Chamberlain Brown

abstract: Chamberlain Brown was a theater impresario in the United States. He acted, produced Broadway plays, represented actors as a casting agent, published theatrical publications, and hosted radio shows about the theater with guest stars in each episode. His brother Lyman joined him in the business. Chamberlain and Lyman were born to George M. Brown and Delorius (Chamberlain) Brown, daughter  of Samuel E. Chamberlain. The Brown boys began collecting theater mementos and autographs while still young and their father, a department store owner, helped launch and fund Chamberlain's career in the theater business. The New York Public Library has a collection of their papers. A diary of their theater goings kept by the two brothers documents vaudeville and theater in Boston and New York City from 1909 until 1914. One of his radio shows, Stars of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, featured celebrity guests. Brown reportedly refused to meet with Mary Orr, but had a role in her being cast by Preston Sturges. He helped Jean Arthur get a part in a production in New York City. Their firm had many prominent clients including Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. Chamberlain Brown's Scrapbook (1932) was a musical revue set in vaudeville style. Ina Hayward gave her last performance in it.

The Brown boys began collecting theater mementos and autographs while still young and their father, a department store owner, helped launch and fund Chamberlain's career in the theater business. The New York Public Library has a collection of their papers. A diary of their theater goings kept by the two brothers documents vaudeville and theater in Boston and New York City from 1909 until 1914.

One of his radio shows, *Stars of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow,* featured celebrity guests. Brown reportedly refused to meet with Mary Orr, but had a role in her being cast by Preston Sturges. He helped Jean Arthur get a part in a production in New York City.

Their firm had many prominent clients including Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy.

Chamberlain Brown's Scrapbook (1932) was a musical revue set in vaudeville style. Ina Hayward gave her last performance in it.

# Dorothy Kuhn Oko

**Dorothy Kuhn Oko** (July 22, 1896 – July 17, 1971) was an American librarian who was a pioneer in establishing library services for the labor union movement.

## Early life and education

Dorothy Kuhn was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 22, 1896. She graduated from Radcliffe College in 1918, received a bachelor of science from Columbia University in 1947, and earned a master's degree in sociology from the New School for Social Research in 1955.

She married Leonard Minster in 1918. Divorcing him, she then married Adolph S. Oko in 1933.

## Work in libraries

In the 1940s United States labor union members and officials required well-researched information from the perspective of labor and relied on public libraries to provide resources and advice in selecting program labor training materials. Dorothy Kuhn Oko began the labor education service of the New York Public Library in 1947, providing leadership in the adaptation to the changing needs of union members and leaders. Oko directed the NYPL labor education service until 1961.

She was a member of the Committee for the Preservation of Labor Reports and, after the AFL–CIO and the American Library Association formed the Joint Committee on Library Service to Labor Groups in 1945, Oko was for many years the "guiding force" of that group.

In 1963 Oko co-edited a volume of works reflecting on the relationship between libraries and labor, *Library Service to Labor*. The book included historical background, theory, and case studies of libraries reaching out to and serving labor organizations.

Oko died July 17, 1971, in New York City.

# Claude-Adrien Nonnotte

**Claude-Adrien Nonnotte** (born in Besançon, 29 July 1711; died there, 3 September 1793) was a French Jesuit controversialist, best known for his writings against Voltaire.

## Biography

At nineteen he entered the Society of Jesus and preached at Amiens, Versailles, and Turin. When Voltaire began to issue his *Essai sur les moeurs* (1754), which the Catholic Church considered an attack on Christianity, Nonnotte published, anonymously, the *Examen critique ou Réfutation du livre des moeurs*; and when Voltaire finished his publication (1758), Nonnotte revised his book, which he published at Avignon (2 vols., 1762). He dealt with what he saw as historical and doctrinal errors contained in Voltaire's work. Nonnotte's work reached the sixth edition in 1774. Voltaire retorted in his *Eclaircissements historiques*, and the back and forth attacks continued for twenty years.

Nonnotte's publication continued to circulate, and was translated into Italian, German, Polish, and Portuguese. After the suppression of the Jesuits by king Louis XV, Nonnotte withdrew to Besançon. In 1779 he added a third volume to the *Erreurs de Voltaire*, namely, *L'esprit de Voltaire dans ses écrits*, for which he could not obtain the approval of the Paris censor. Against the *Dictionnaire philosophique*, in which Voltaire had recapitulated all his attacks on Christianity, Nonnotte published the *Dictionnaire philosophique de la religion* (Avignon, 1772), in which he replied to all the objections then brought against religion. The work was translated into Italian and German.

Towards the end of his life Nonnotte published *Les philosophes des trois premiers siècles* (Paris, 1789), in which he contrasted the ancient and the modern philosophers. The work was translated into German. He also wrote *Lettre à un ami sur les honnêtetés littéraires* (Paris, 1766), and *Réponse aux Éclaircissements historiques et aux additions de Voltaire* (Paris, 1774). These publications obtained for their author a eulogistic Brief from Pope Clement XIII (1768), and the congratulations of St. Alphonsus Liguori. The latter declared that he had always at hand his "golden works" in which the chief truths of the Faith were defended with learning and propriety against the objections of Voltaire and his friends. Nonnotte was also the author of *L'emploi de l'argent* (Avignon, 1787), translated from Maffei; *Le gouvernement des paroisses* (posthumous, Paris, 1802). All were published under the title *Oeuvres de Nonnotte* (Besançon, 1819).

# Chambersburg, Greencastle and Waynesboro Street Railway

The **Chambersburg, Greencastle & Waynesboro Street Railway**, now defunct, was an American railroad of south central Pennsylvania built in the 19th and 20th centuries.

## Origins

Tracks were first laid in Greencastle in 1903, with operations beginning in December along Baltimore Street and Carlisle Street. The line was extended to Shady Grove by 1906 and Chambersburg in 1908. A line from Waynesboro met the Greencastle line at Shady Grove. The Waynesboro line was extended to Pen Mar and Blue Ridge Summit. The Pen Mar line was noted for its steep grades and sharp curves.

The CG&W met the Hagerstown Railway, later the Hagerstown & Frederick Railway (H&F) at Shady Grove next to the current post office. Since the H&F was 4 ft 8+12 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge, there could be no exchange of equipment.

"Union Station" was the junction of the Greencastle and Waynesboro trolley lines and the Hagerstown line in Shady Grove. The Hagerstown line approached Shady Grove from the south and ended along the east side of the building which is now the Shady Grove post office where it met the Greencastle and Waynesboro lines. The "Union Station" ticket office and building was a small white building right beside and on the east side of the Hagerstown tracks.

Because of the broad gauge, it could not carry rail freight, so it was denied a revenue source available to standard gauge systems. Service on most of the system ended on July 31, 1928. The Rouzerville-Chambersburg section finally ended service on January 13, 1932, a victim of the Depression and the automobile.

## Gauge

The CG&W used a 5 ft 2+12 in (1,588 mm) broad gauge, similar to other Pennsylvania interurban lines.

## Company history

### Founding

Founded in 1989, the company was the brainchild of Henrik and Charlotte Jorst, who had moved from Denmark to the US in 1986 when Henrik was appointed U.S. sales manager for Danish brewery Carlsberg. The couple decided to establish their own business as U.S. representative for a Danish manufacturer of corporate branded business gift watches, and for exclusive Jacob Jensen designer watches.

After locating the Danish-owned clock and watch manufacturer, Comtech Watches, a supplier that could manufacture watches at a lower price through its Hong Kong factory, the Jorsts began designing their own watches, which they showed at a corporate gift fair in New York 1991. At that fair, they were encouraged by several retailers to market the watches under their own brand, which they chose as Skagen Denmark, Skagen (Danish pronunciation: \[ˈskɛˀjn̩\]) for the Danish fishing village (and peninsula) of that name. The company logo symbolizes the meeting of the Skagerrak and the Kattegat bodies of sea water at Skagen, Denmark's northernmost settlement and port, in Jutland.

### Development

# Simon Isaacs

**Simon Isaacs** QC (9 April 1905 – 17 June 1987) was an Australian barrister and judge. He served on the Supreme Court of New South Wales from 1964 to 1975.

## Early life

Isaacs was born in London on 9 April 1905. He was one of five children of Herman and Elizabeth Isaacs, Dutch Jews from "impoverished families" who had arrived in England in the 1890s and worked as domestic servants.

Isaacs spent his early years in Edmonton and Hackney. His father immigrated to Australia in 1910 and the rest of the family joined him in Sydney in 1914. He was educated at Bourke Street Public School in Surry Hills and Hurstville Public School, before winning a scholarship to attend Sydney Boys' High School. He went on to study law at the University of Sydney, graduating Bachelor of Laws with first-class honours.

Isaacs practised as a solicitor for six years before being admitted to the New South Wales Bar in 1934. He "practised extensively in common law, Commonwealth industrial law and criminal law".

In 1948 Isaacs appeared for Jock Garden in the royal commission chaired by G. C. Ligertwood into the New Guinea timber scandal. Garden, a former federal MP and convicted fraudster, had alleged corruption on the part of government minister Eddie Ward. Isaacs and Ward came into conflict over allegations Isaacs repeated during the trial, with Ward publicly labelling Isaacs a liar and Prime Minister Ben Chifley making unfavourable remarks of Isaacs in federal parliament, leading to a protest by the New South Wales bar council. Ward subsequently reported Isaacs to the bar council for misprofessional conduct, with an investigation clearing him of any wrongdoing.

Isaacs was appointed King's Counsel in 1950. In the same year he represented five trade unions in *Australian Communist Party v Commonwealth*, appearing alongside H. V. Evatt as they successfully challenged the Menzies government's attempt to ban the Communist Party.

In 1964, Isaacs was appointed to the Supreme Court of New South Wales. He retired from the court in 1975. In 1979, Premier Neville Wran appointed Isaacs to lead an inquiry into logging at Terania Creek.

## Personal life

In 1929, Isaacs married Maria "Ria" Israel, with whom he had four children. They settled in Strathfield in 1942. He died in Sydney on 17 June 1987, aged 82.

Isaacs was active in Sydney's Jewish community as a board member of the Great Synagogue and a founding member of the Strathfield Synagogue in western Sydney. He was also treasurer of the Sir Moses Montefiore Home.

# Siona Benjamin

**Siona Benjamin** (born 11 December 1960) is an Indian-American artist originally from Mumbai, India and now residing in the New York City area.

## Background

Siona Benjamin (Kasukar) is originally from Bombay, now living in the New York City area. Her signature work as a multicultural artist reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim in India. In her paintings, she combines the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today, making a mosaic of underlying meaning inspired by both Indian miniature paintings and Sephardic icons. She has her first MFA in painting and a second MFA in Theater set design. She has exhibited in the US, Canada, Europe, India, and Asia.

Siona has been awarded two Fulbright Fellowships: in Fall 2016, Siona embarked on a new project to take place in Israel titled *Motherland to Fatherland: Indian Transcultural Jews;* in 2010-11, Siona was awarded an art project titled *Faces: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives*. Research for this project was conducted in India, and the first exhibition took place in October 2013 at the Prince of Wales museum in Mumbai, India.

Her work has been featured in a variety of media including: The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Financial Times, The Jewish Week in NYC and NJ, The Boston Globe, The St. Louis Gazette, Art in America, Art New England, Art and Antiques, ArtNews, and Moment magazine. In March 2024, her art was also featured in a new book called The Blue Butterfly of Cochin https://jewishdiversitystories.org/identity/the-blue-butterfly-of-cochin-a-story-of-history-identity-israel-and-home/, written by author Ariana Mizrachi, edited by the Indian Jewish Heritage Center, http://www.indianjews.org/en/, and published by Kalaniot Books.

Siona's original paintings are available and represented by ACA Galleries in New York City.

## Themes

Growing up in India, assimilation was expected in much of her daily life, and so "identity" and "mutual understanding" became major themes in Benjamin’s art. Her culturally diverse background informs her approach to art. Her work is influenced by biblical subject matter, reflections on gender and an interest in Midrashic process. Much of her imagery reflects Indian mythology in an effort to reveal what shapes both physical and spiritual identity. In her series "Finding Home", begun in the late 1990s, and in other work, Benjamin colors figures blue. Ori Soltes, professor and curator, comments, "She applies a skin color most frequently associated with a male--the Hindu god, Krishna--to female figures, forcing the viewer to stop and rethink whatever she thought she knew about that association." Also at the core of her work is an ecumenical and empathetic spirit that comes from the very core of Jewish experience. Stylistically amalgamating Indian/Persian miniatures with pop culture, Christian and Jewish illuminated manuscripts, and Jewish and Hindu mythology, Siona also brings her canvas characters to life through animation and performance dance artists. The multicultural, syncretic quality of her art is underlined in the film *Blue Like Me*, directed by Hal Rifken.

### Depictions of Women

Most of the figures in Benjamin's work are women. A subgroup of the Finding Home series is subtitled "Fereshteh," which means "angel" in Urdu. The major characters in the Fereshteh series are women of the Bible. However, when men appear in this series, they are actually women in the guise of men. Miriam is seen in three works. In one, she is carrying a suitcase and walking—possibly out of Egypt—dressed in traditional Indian attire; in a second, she is ill and surrounded by demons, and in the third, she is shown as a Persian angel caught in a spider's web. Lilith, on the other hand, is shown in three pop art versions. Lilith is traditionally seen as a seductress and a destroyer, but Benjamin views Lilith, Adam's first wife, as also being the first feminist. In one of the works (Finding Home #74 (Fereshteh) "Lilith"), she is wearing a protective amulet that might normally be worn as protection from her, and Lilith's speech balloon says "A thousand of years have I waited keeping the embers of revenge glowing in my heart." She is shown with angel wings and a background of flames. Rachel, Leah, and Esther are amongst others included in the series.

Her 2014 gouache on paper series, *The Four Mothers Who Entered Pardes*, includes works showing Rachel, Sara, Leah, and Rebecca entering paradise, rather than the four wise men who, according to a Jewish legend, entered Pardes, or Paradise, in the first century C.E.

### Tikkun olam

Few things are more cherished in Jewish tradition than tikkun olam, which translates to "mending the world". Observant Jews practice tikkun olam every day in their thoughts and actions. As Abraham Joshua Herschel has posed when asked, "Who is a Jew?" he replied: "A Jew is a person whose integrity decays when unmoved by the knowledge of wrong done to other people." Through study and reflection, Benjamin has made tikkun olam central to her art.

# South African Touring Cars

**South African Touring Cars** (formerly the **Global Touring Car Championship**) is a South African touring car series co-founded by Gary Formato and Vic Maharaj in 2016 and sanctioned by Motorsport South Africa. Sasol has been the series' title sponsor and sole fuel supplier since its inaugural season. It has dubbed itself South Africa's "premier motorsport championship".

The series is divided into two classes, namely GTC (which runs silhouette racing cars) and GTC Supacup.

## History

Following the folding of the National Production Car Championship in late 2015, South Africa lacked a premier touring car racing series. The Sasol GTC Championship (which had been in development for nearly four years), spearheaded by Vic Maharaj and Gary Formato, was given the green light by Motorsport South Africa in March 2015.

The new series was set to be attractive due to its lower costs (reportedly ZAR200,000 less for a season than the NPCC). All the cars would run identical six-speed Albins sequential gearboxes (identical to those used in the Supercars Championship), shock absorbers, suspension and brakes in order to aid cost-saving. The car regulations would be frozen for the series's first five seasons, and car development was banned. Originally slated to consist of four manufacturers (Audi, Ford, Nissan and Jaguar) fielding 12 cars between them, there were only 10 cars fielded in the inaugural race at Zwartkops Raceway. With Nissan and Jaguar completely pulling out before the championship even began, the series attracted Volkswagen and BMW to also enter two and four cars respectively.

The inaugural season calendar consisted of seven rounds with two races each, except for the rounds at Killarney Race Track and Aldo Scribante, of which each had three races. It kicked off at Zwartkops Raceway on the 9th of August, seeing South African racing veteran Michael Stephen take the series' first ever victory. The season finale was staged at Prince George Circuit in East London, with Stephen being crowned the first Sasol GTC champion. Gennaro Bonafede finished as championship runner-up with five victories to his name.

## Cars

### GTC

The cars consist of a single-specification tubular chassis with metal bodywork, supplied by the manufacturer. Each manufacturer also provides a turbocharged 2-litre petrol engine which produces a maximum of 436 bhp and 600 nm of torque. All cars are rear-wheel drive. The gearboxes are standardised Albins six-speed sequential gearboxes, the same gearboxes used in the Australian Supercars Championship. Suspension parts, dampers and brakes are also standard across all cars, and all cars run slick tyres provided by Dunlop. Traction control and Anti-lock braking systems are banned. Sasol provides fuel to all cars. The cars were anticipated to reach up to 280 km/h prior to the first season.

Following a series of engine issues during the first round of the 2017 season, changes had to be introduced to lessen stress on the engines. This included setting an RPM-limit of 7200, as well as decreasing the absolute boost pressure of the turbochargers to 2100 millibar.

### GTC2/GTC Supacup

The GTC2 class allows for production racing cars only, also with 2-litre turbocharged petrol engines, but instead capped to 281 bhp. The cars have to be front-wheel drive and must keep their factory engines, gearboxes and dashboards. Limited-slip differentials are permitted in order to aid traction. They use steel tube roll cages built by South African ex-racing driver Etienne van der Linde. Unlike in the GTC Class, aftermarket shock absorbers are permitted, but are cost-capped at R50 000 per set. Each car is given one set of Dunlop slick tyres at the beginning of a season, and then two fresh tyres at each race.

# Douglas XA-2

The **Douglas XA-2** was an American prototype attack aircraft converted from a Douglas O-2 observation aircraft in the spring of 1926 by Douglas Aircraft. Only one prototype aircraft was built and the type was not ordered into production.

## Design and development

One Douglas O-2, serial number *25-380*, was modified for the new role as an attack aircraft. While the basic structure of the aircraft remained, there were several modifications made. The water-cooled Liberty engine (V-1650) of the O-2 was replaced by an inverted air-cooled Allison VG-1410 engine. The lower engine cowlings were omitted to allow for more cooling air flow over the engine.

Second, the XA-2 was more heavily armed than the O-2. It had six forward-firing .30-caliber Browning machine guns \- two in the nose forward of the cockpit, and two each in the mid-upper and lower wings. Two .30-caliber Lewis guns were put on a flexible mount for use by the observer-gunner in rear defense of the aircraft. The aircraft also had the capacity for a small bomb load of 100 lb (45 kg).

The Douglas XA-2 was evaluated against the Curtiss XA-3 (a conversion of the Curtiss O-1B observation plane). The Douglas Aircraft won the initial competition, but the Army realized that the Liberty engine was both underpowered and in dwindling supply. It ordered a second competition with both models upgraded with Packard 1A-1500 engines. The Curtiss aircraft won this time and became the U.S. Army Air Corps' frontline attack aircraft (Curtiss A-3 Attack Falcon) from 1928 to 1935.

# Sigma 300–800mm f/5.6 EX DG HSM lens

The **Sigma 300 – 800 mm** lens is a professional-level supertelephoto zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation from 2002 to 2019 for use with analog and digital SLRs. Due to its massive size and weight, the lens has been nicknamed the "Sigmonster"

## History

The first model, named **300-800mm F5.6 EX IF APO HSM** (manufacturer code 594) was announced on 4 October 2002 at that year's Photokina and first delivered on 29 January 2003. The construction of the lens has 18 optical elements in 16 groups including 2 ELD (extra-low dispersion) elements. Versions for Sigma SA, Canon EF and Nikon AF-S mounts were available. This lens was in production between 2003 and 2005. In a review, *Popular Photography* noted "the focus \[was\] surprisingly fast for such a big lens" and praised the full-time manual focusing ring, enabled by Sigma's ultrasonic ring focusing motor, but criticized the lack of a focus limiting switch.

On 14 February 2005, the DG variants of several Sigma lenses have been announced, including an updated version of the 300-800mm lens, now named **300-800mm F5.6 EX DG APO HSM** (manufacturer code 595). The new lens has a better coating designed to reduce flare from digital SLRs sensors. Since 29 April 2005, the lens was available for customers, replacing the previous model. For the DG lens, the Nikon version lost an aperture ring so the lens can be equated to Nikon G lenses in this aspect. In addition to the Sigma, Canon and Nikon versions, the Four Thirds version was announced on 26 September 2006 and produced for several years. The FT version is slightly longer (549.4mm) and heavier (5915g) than the other mount versions; data for Sigma SA mount is shown.

Sigma discontinued production of the Sigmonster in all mounts before 2022, as part of a larger discontinuation of lenses with dSLR mounts.

# Leyland Lynx

The **Leyland Lynx** was a step-entrance integral single-deck bus manufactured by Leyland in Workington, England between 1986 and 1992. After the takeover by Volvo, it was succeeded by the Volvo B10B.

## Background

The Leyland Lynx (B60) was designed in 1984 as a replacement for the ageing Leyland National, being unveiled at the 1985 International Bus & Coach Exhibition at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. Although the B60 was the first bus to carry the Lynx brand, Leyland had previously used it on truck chassis between 1936 and 1940, and again between 1968 and 1979. The Lynx name has since been revived by Ashok Leyland for use on a midibus.

## History

Production vehicles began to enter service in 1986, the majority were bodied by Leyland at its Workington factory where the underframe was produced. All have a step entrance, Leyland offered the option of a floor with a step in the middle or one that gently ramped from aft of the front platform to the rear. A plan for offering this bus with a single-piece flat windscreen was considered, but was not carried out. A common feature, therefore, is that the Lynx has two separate windscreens and has the driver's windscreen raked back, resembling 1950s single-decker buses and the Wright Handybus.

Engines offered were the Leyland TL11, Gardner 6HLXCT and Cummins L10, while the Lynx II was also available with the Volvo THD102KF.

In 1990, the updated Lynx Mark II version was introduced. It could be recognised easily by its protruding front dash/grille panel, whilst the original design was flat. Additionally, a select few of the 140 vehicles produced featured Volvo engines, which drastically reduced performance in pursuit of more environmentally friendly engines.

The Mark II was also available as a bus underframe for other coachbuilders to body. Although the large majority of Lynxes carried the Leyland body, seven chassis were bodied by Alexander with N-type bodywork for Citybus (Belfast), including the first prototype. Northern Counties also catalogued bodies for the Lynx but none were built.

The type saw service all over the United Kingdom, with the largest fleet owned by West Midlands Travel. A total of 258 were purchased, including six demonstrators, delivered early in 1986 equipped with Gardner engines and semi-automatic Leyland Hydracyclic gearboxes (which were later converted to ZF automatic). They were gradually withdrawn from 2000 onwards, with the last three withdrawn from passenger service in March 2009, although 10 remained in the driver training fleet until March 2010.

Another significant operator of Leyland Lynxes were Caldaire Group companies West Riding and Yorkshire Woollen. The companies purchased 129 Mk1 and Mk2 Lynxes new or second-hand until late 1991, replacing former National Bus Company vehicles as part of a yearly fleet replacement programme. Other Caldaire Group operators who purchased Leyland Lynxes included Tees & District and United Automobile Services, while elsewhere in the North East of England, Cleveland Transit, Busways Travel Services and Go-Ahead Northern also took delivery of Lynxes.

Other operators of Leyland Lynxes included municipally-owned operators Lothian Regional Transport, who in 1991, took delivery of twelve Lynxes uniquely built with dual doors, Isle of Man Transport, who took delivery of two Lynxes in 1989, and Nottingham City Transport. Lynxes were also ordered by former municipals and National Bus Company subsidiaries such as Brighton Transport, Boro'line Maidstone and Merthyr Tydfil Transport. The AJS Group also purchased Lynxes for its Harrogate & District and Keighley & District operations.

The last two Lynxes to roll off the production line entered service with Halton Transport in August 1992. The Lynx was the core of Halton Transport's fleet for over 10 years; the company was the first municipal operator to order Lynxes and took delivery of the first Mk2 Lynx in 1990, with the operator owning a total of 36 Lynxes at the end of production. In later life at Halton, they were used on a number of school contracts and the occasional regular service. In October 2010, all of Halton's remaining Lynxes were sold, the last Lynx produced going into preservation, with the penultimate Lynx used to donate spares.

Following the takeover of Leyland by Volvo in March 1988, the Lynx was superseded by the Volvo B10B in 1992. Total production of Lynxes was approximately 1,060 vehicles, including six prototypes (one of which was not bodied) and several development vehicles. About 140 of the total were Lynx Mark IIs.

## Exports

A small number of Lynxes were exported as demonstrators, but no sales ever resulted.

In 1984, a framed chassis was sent to Australia. After being completed by JW Bolton in Perth, it operated for Transperth, ACTION and Hornibrook Bus Lines before being sold to Lever Coachlines in 1987. In 1989, two were bodied by Pressed Metal Corporation as demonstrators for the State Transit Authority, but the trial never occurred and they were sold to John J Hill, Wollongong.

In 1988, Singapore Bus Service took delivery of an Walter Alexander bodied Leyland Lynx. Originally serving feeder bus routes in Ang Mo Kio, it eventually ended up on employee bus services between Ang Mo Kio Bus Depot and Yishun. It was involved in an accident in August 2001 and had its original Lynx-style front replaced with an Alexander PS type style. It was eventually withdrawn and scrapped in 2005. Conversely one Leyland Tiger received a Lynx-style Leyland body for export to New Zealand, initially being operated by Newmans Coach Lines and later Go Bus Transport.

In 1990, three of the order being built for West Midlands Travel were sent to Australia as demonstrators. Two operated with ACTION, while the third was demonstrated to the State Transport Authority and State Transit Authority, before all three were sold to Southtrans.

## Preservation

Several Lynxes have now entered preservation, with some requiring extensive rebuilding to bring them back to original condition, due to body corrosion, as well as reversing modifications made by operators during their history. One such example is the removal of all of the patterned body skirts, combined with the replacement of the square wheel arches with non-patterned round ones. Both of these modifications were made to make it easier to replace such parts in the event of an accident.

In Australia, the JW Bolton bodied demonstrator has been preserved by the Sydney Bus Museum.

The **JungdemokratInnen/Junge Linke** (German: JD/JL, Junge Demokraten, JuDos) is a left-leaning political youth organization in Germany, founded in 1919. It was the youth wing associated with the German Democratic Party (DDP) and, after the Second World War, of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) until 1983, after which it became party-independent.

## History

The Young Democrats or JuDos, in German, were founded in 1919. They were the official youth wing of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) until 1983. In 1980 the Young Liberals (JuLis) were founded and the two youth organizations existed side by side. The JuLis benefitted from the Wende with the election of CDU party chairman Helmut Kohl as the new Chancellor in October 1982, after which the FDP recognized the JuLis as the official FDP youth wing in 1983. The Young Democrats split from the FDP and became a party-independent youth organization.
