# Ben Zion Shenker

**Ben Zion Shenker** (1925–2016) was a world-renowned American Hasidic composer and hazzan (cantor), associated with the Modzitz hasidic dynasty. Shenker was born in the heyday of the American hazzan. He became interested in the art as a child, and was performing on radio by his early teens. Soon after, he became close to Rabbi Shaul Taub, the Holocaust-surviving Modzitz Grand Rabbi, who was known for his mystical Hasidic compositions. He dedicated much of his life to recording and publishing the large stock of pre-war Modzitz songs, as well as Taub's post-war work. Shenker created a music label, *Neginah*, for the purpose of recording those songs, and himself became a composer of hundreds Modzitz moded songs.

## Early life

Shenker's parents were Mordechai and Miriam Shenker, Polish hasidim who came to America about 1921. Their son was born four years later, and they raised him in Williamsburg. He had two brothers and a sister: Chaim Baruch, Nachman, and Rose.

Even as a child, he showed interest in cantorial music, preferring to listen to greats such as Yossele Rosenblatt rather than play with toys. Joshua Samuel Weisser (originally Pilderwasser), known as the leading New York cantor of the 1930s, took Shenker into his choir at age 12. Weisser had a Yiddish-language radio program at the time, and Shenker was a soloist on it, with his own 15-minute weekly segment. In performance, mostly during prayers, he was described as having a reedy tenor and perfect pitch. Shenker also studied with teacher and conductor Seymour Silbermintz.

He attended Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, where he received weekly leave to go to the radio studio for his show, so long as he returned in time for the next study session.

He recorded an album at age 13.

When he was about 14 or 15 he visited Rabbi Shaul Taub's house. Taub was the leader of the Modzitz Hasidim, who were known for their often lengthy and sophisticated musical compositions. While there, the young Shenker sight-read some of Taub's sheet music, which surprised Taub, who asked him to serve as a music secretary. Part of Shenker's job was to write musical notation for Taub, including early drafts of unrecorded compositions.

## Adulthood

Shenker continued his studies in Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, and was ordained a rabbi. He married Dina Lustig, a Cincinnati native, in the late 1940s.

### Music preservation

He started the *Neginah* label in 1956. The name is Hebrew for "playing of music." For its first album, Shenker trained a choir at the residence of the Bessers in Manhattan, former members of the congregation in Crown Heights. The selections consisted of devotional songs for the Saturday night meal known as *Melave Malka*.

*Neginah* eventually recorded a total of ten albums, including the most important songs in the traditional Modzitz repertoire, as well as Rabbi Taub's later works and many of Shenker's own 500-plus compositions. However, the main purpose was to record the legacy, over which Shenker was very concerned. Once, he became upset when he heard a rendition of an early Modzitz tune that he felt had become distorted; he felt the producers "had a lot of nerve" to make such changes. The *Neginah* catalog inspired other hasidic sects to similarly record their own musical history. Shenker's personal tape library of over 600 cassettes and reel is held at the Institute for Preservation and Documentation of Modzitz Music

Though Hasidic songs starting in the late 20th century began to absorb American popular music styles, Shenker's songs are fully rooted in ancient Hasidic tradition, and show little American influence. On the other hand, his influence extended outwards, to the Klezmer scene (secular Ashkenazi music), and to recordings by Itzhak Perlman, Andy Statman, and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. He was known as the leading composer of music across the Hasidic spectrum.

### Career and artistry

Velvel Pasternak, a Jewish music producer and historian, described Shenker's own melodies as "singable" by the masses. Many of Shenker's songs have become so much a part of the fabric of Ashkenazic Jewish Orthodox life that they are erroneously thought to be much older songs whose authorship is unknown. Shenker, a humble man, did not mind the anonymity, and was typically surprised when approached as a celebrity. Two songs in particular became global Sabbath meal standards (even in Sephardic homes, unusual for Ashkenazi material): *Eishes Chayil* (1946) on Friday nights, and variations of his *Mizmor LeDovid* (Psalm 23, 1953) on Saturday afternoons. His *Yossis Alayich* (1965) is also the most commonly used song for Jewish weddings, typically used as the opening song to the first dance at Orthodox weddings throughout the world.

Hankus Netsky compared the Modzitz music to symphonies, and stated that Shenker treated them with appropriate gravitas. Statman described the melodies as powerful enough to purify and to reach the stars, and Shenker's mastery of music color and ornamentation as incredible.

Shenker was the primary cantor at the Modzitz synagogue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and later in Midwood, Brooklyn. In the 1980s, he left the established Modzitz synagogue to form a second one, also in Midwood. He regularly composed new songs each year for the High Holidays. He was the rabbi of that synagogue until his death on November 20, 2016, of heart disease. He continued to record music until the last days of his life.

Shenker did not make a living from music, rarely collecting royalties. His family owned a sweater manufacturing business, and he was partner in a diamond dealership.

## Legacy

For his *shloshim* (ritual event on the 30th day of passing), Cantor Chaim Dovid Berson of New York's Jewish Center and musicians Shim Craimer and Yitzy Spinner performed some of Shenker's work.

He had three daughters: Esther Reifman, Adele Newmark, and Brocha Weinberger. When he died, he had 24 grandchildren and 90 great-grandchildren.

Shenker was a prolific artist, with his voice and compositions appearing on dozens of albums.

On February 27, 2022, Ben Zion Schenker was posthumously inducted with the inaugural class of the Jewish Music Hall of Fame.

## History

Benjamin Obdyke Incorporated was started in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1868 by Benjamin P. Obdyke after he returned from serving the Union Army in the American Civil War. Obdyke invented and patented the round corrugated downspout, beginning a long tradition of manufacturing innovative quality building products. The company and product line grew over the years to include a variety of rain carrying equipment, roof edging and trims. The manufacturing process included roll formers and various stamping dies. The products were manufactured from Galvanized steel, copper and later aluminum (both pre painted and mill finish). By 1997 the company was operating 26 roll formers in a 200,000 sq. ft. manufacturing and distribution facility located in Warminster, Pennsylvania. In 1988 BOI acquired the patent for a rolled ridge vent, which began a new era of innovative products such as Roll Vent, Rapid Ridge, Cedar Breather, and eventually Home Slicker.

In the late nineties the company was approached by another old line gutter manufacturer, Berger Brothers located in Feasterville, Pennsylvania with interest to acquire the metal manufacturing portion of the business. Based on the growth of the newer innovative products, the company decided to sell the metal business to Berger and did so in December 1997. Today, the company actively markets its ridge ventilation and moisture management products under the Benjamin Obdyke brand to professional contractors all over North America through their diverse network of wholesale distributors.

# Bieke Depoorter

**Bieke Depoorter** (born 1986) is a Belgian photographer. The relationships she establishes with her subjects lie at the foundation of her practice. Depoorter is a member of Magnum Photos and has published the books *Ou Menya* (2011), *I am About to Call it a Day* (2014), *As it May Be* (2017), *Mumkin. Est-ce possible?* (2018), *Sète#15* (2015), and *Agata* (2021). She has won the Magnum Expression Award, The Larry Sultan Award, and the Prix Levallois. She was one of four photographers shortlisted for the 2022 Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize.

## Early life and education

Depoorter was born in Belgium. She received a master's degree in photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent in 2009.

## Life and work

The relationships Depoorter establishes with the subjects of her photographs lie at the foundation of her artistic practice. Accidental encounters are the starting point, and how these interactions naturally develop dictates the nature of Depoorter's work. Many of her self-initiated projects are about intimate situations in families and in peoples' homes. For her graduation project and her first book, *Ou Menya* (2011), she made three trips to Russia, photographing people in their homes that she met whilst travelling around. The series won the 2009 Magnum Expression Award. Depoorter made the work for her second book, *I am About to Call it a Day* (2014) in a similar way whilst hitchhiking and driving around the U.S.A.

However several recent projects have been the result of Depoorter questioning the medium. In *As it May Be*, she gradually became more aware of her status as an outsider, both culturally and as a photographer. So, in 2017, she revisited Egypt with the first draft of the book, inviting people to write comments directly onto the photographs. In *Sète#15*, and also *Dvalemodus*, a short film she co-directed together with Mattias De Craene, she began to see her subjects as actors. Although she portrayed them in their true environments, she tried to project her own story onto the scenes, fictionalizing the realities of her subjects in a way that blurred the lines between their world and hers.

In *Agata*, a project about a young woman Depoorter met at a striptease bar in Paris in October 2017, she explores her interest in collaborative portraiture. It is an example of Depoorter's interest in finding people that can work with her in telling a story. These stories are always partially hers, and partially theirs.

Depoorter became a nominee member of Magnum Photos in 2012, an associate member in 2014, and a full member in 2016.

Depoorter directed a music video for Bolis Pupul's song "Completely Half" from his debut album *Letter to Yu*. The song and video were released on 29 November 2023.

## Personal life

Depoorter lives in the Muide neighborhood of Ghent with her boyfriend Boris Zeebroek, better known as the musician Bolis Pupul.

title: Robert Baker (explorer)

abstract: Robert Baker, was an English voyager to Guinea. Nothing is known of Baker's family, but according to Hair he may have been related to the Bakers of Sissinghurst. Baker started on his first voyage "to seek for gold" in October 1562. The expedition consisted of two ships, the Minion and the Primrose, and was "set out by Sir William Garrard, Sir William Chester, Mr. Thomas Lodge, Anthony Hickman, and Edward Castelin". Baker's efforts to traffic with the natives on the Guinea coast were not very successful, and he was wounded in a fight. But he returned home in safety early in 1563. In November of the same year he made a second voyage to "Guinie and the river of Sesto" as factor in an expedition of two ships, the John Baptist and the Merlin, sent out by the same London Merchant Adventurers. On arriving in Guinea, Baker landed with eight companions to negotiate with the natives, but a storm drove the ships from their moorings, and Baker and his companions were abandoned. After suffering much privation six of the nine men died. The three survivors were rescued by a French ship, and imprisoned in France as prisoners of war; but they appear to have been subsequently released. Baker wrote an account in verse of both voyages. It was printed by Richard Hakluyt in the first edition of his Voyages in 1589, but was not included in the second edition, with the result that it was 'long overlooked in studies of the period'.

# Earl Forest

**Earl Forest** (December 1, 1926 – February 26, 2003) was an American musician and a member of the Memphis-based R&B coalition called the Beale Streeters, which included Johnny Ace, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, B.B. King, and Roscoe Gordon. Forest had a hit record in 1953 with "Whoopin' And Hollerin'" on Duke Records. He also recorded for Meteor Records and Flair Records.

## Life and career

Forest was born in Memphis, Tennessee on December 1, 1926.

By the late 1940s Forest was part of the network of musicians performing around Beale Street known as the Beale Streeters. These musicians included Johnny Ace, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, B.B. King, and Roscoe Gordon. They weren't a formal band, but they played at the same venues and backed each other during recording sessions. Scout and program director of WDIA, David James Mattis, would attend local shows and have musicians perform live at the radio station. Forest, pianist John Alexander, and saxophonist Adolph "Billy" Duncan backed B.B King during broadcasts at WDIA. "I guess you can say this was the first little bitty B.B. King band," King recalled in his autobiography.

In 1951, Ike Turner, who was a talent scout and producer for the Bihari brothers at Modern Records, arranged for the Beale Streeters to record for Modern. Forest backed Bobby Bland on his sessions for Modern, which produced the single "Crying All Night Long" / "Dry Up Baby." That session also included musicians Ike Turner on piano, Billy Duncan on tenor saxophone, and Matt Murphy on guitar.

In 1952, WDIA program director David James Mattis founded Duke Records and signed many of the Beale Streeters to the label. Forest played drums during a session for Bobby Bland at WDIA studios in 1952. Soon after, Forest recorded his first record, "Whoopin' And Hollerin'," with Johnny Ace on piano. It reached No. 7 on the *Billboard*'s R&B chart (Most Played in Juke Boxes) in April 1953. To capitalize off the success of the record, the Bihari brothers released a single by Forest on their sublabel Meteor Records, credited as Earl (Whoopin' & Hollerin') Forrest. Later that year, Forest's "Trouble And Me" was issued as a split single with Johnny Ace's "Mid Night Hours Journey" on Flair Records. Forest continued to record, releasing more singles on Duke Records until the 1960s.

As a songwriter, Forest co-wrote the blues standard "Next Time You See Me" which was recorded by Junior Parker, Frankie Lymon, James Cotton and many others. He co-wrote "Morning After" by the Mar-Keys, released on Stax Records in 1961. In the 1980s, Forest recorded with one-time Beale Streeter Bobby Bland, backing him on his 1987 album *Blues You Can Use*. He also co-wrote two songs on that album, "Spending My Life With You" and "For The Last Time." Forest co-wrote two songs on Little Milton's 1987 album *Movin' To The Country*, "Just Because You See Me Smilin'" and "Room 244."

Forest died from cancer at the Memphis Veterans Administration Medical Center on February 26, 2003.

abstract: The Driving Instructors (Registration) Act 2016 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that amends certain sections of the Road Traffic Act 1988, in respect of the registration of driving instructors. The act provides for measures to simplify the registration and deregistration of driving instructors from the Approved Driving Instructor register. Prior to the amendments made by this act a driving instructor was added to the register on qualification and remained on the list for a period of 4 years at which point they would be required to undertake a quality check to ensure they had retained the approved standard. The issue that this act sought to overcome was that a person could only be removed from the register if their registration expires or they were removed from the register for conduct, competence or disciplinary reasons. The act sought to amend the original legislation in the Road Traffic Act 1988 to allow for voluntary deregistration from the register.

# Driving Instructors (Registration) Act 2016

The **Driving Instructors (Registration) Act 2016** (c. 16) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that amends certain sections of the Road Traffic Act 1988, in respect of the registration of driving instructors.

The act provides for measures to simplify the registration and deregistration of driving instructors from the Approved Driving Instructor register.

Prior to the amendments made by this act a driving instructor was added to the register on qualification and remained on the list for a period of 4 years at which point they would be required to undertake a quality check to ensure they had retained the approved standard.

The issue that this act sought to overcome was that a person could only be removed from the register if their registration expires or they were removed from the register for conduct, competence or disciplinary reasons.

The act sought to amend the original legislation in the Road Traffic Act 1988 to allow for voluntary deregistration from the register.

## Content of the Act

### Amendments to existing regime

Section 1 introduced a new section, section 126A to the Road Traffic Act 1988 to deal with re-entry to the register following the expiry of registration where an application is made within one year or removal or four years of removal subject to passing a fitness test.

Section 2 introduced a new sections, section 128AZA in respect of voluntary removal from the register and section 128AZB in respect of re-entry to the register following voluntary removal. Section 128AZA required to Registrar to remove a person's name from the register where a person had requested it to be removed. Section 128AZB allowed for re-registration following voluntary deregistration under similar terms to those brought in under Section 1 following expiry.

Sections 3 and 4 made amendments to the Road Safety Act 2006 to bring this act in line with the amendments made to the Road Traffic Act 1988 as a result of sections 1 and 2.

### General Provisions

Sections 5,6 & 7 of the Act included general provisions relating to consequential amendments, transitional provisions, the territorial extent of the act and its commencement date.

# Popeye Meets the Man Who Hated Laughter

***Popeye Meets the Man Who Hated Laughter***, also known as ***The Man Who Hated Laughter***, is a 1972 American animated one-hour television special that was part of *The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie*. This film united characters from almost every newspaper comic strip then owned by King Features Syndicate in one story. The show aired on October 7, 1972, and was repeated in February 1974.

This film marked the first time that Steve Canyon, The Phantom, Tim Tyler, or Flash Gordon appeared in animation. In the 1980s, the cartoon series *Defenders of the Earth* would feature Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, and The Phantom as freedom fighters united against a common enemy, Ming the Merciless.

## Plot

Professor Morbid Grimsby is an evil genius who has won the prestigious "Meanie" award six years in a row; to guarantee a seventh, he plots to eliminate all laughter by getting rid of the Sunday funnies, with the aid of his henchman Brutus.

Popeye is given a job as captain of the Professor's yacht, the *SS Hilarious*, and all the characters from the humorous comic strips are informed that they have won a free ocean voyage upon this boat. Once out at sea, the boat is pulled to a remote island by the Professor's tractor beam, and in the chaos Popeye's stash of spinach is lost at sea; thus, he and all the passengers are prisoners of the Professor.

Being a huge fan of the Sunday funnies, the President of the United States takes action by calling together the heroes of the adventure comics to rescue the prisoners. The rescue attempts go wrong, and the adventure characters also end up as prisoners.

The prisoners eventually decide that the only way to free themselves is to make the Professor laugh, to convince him that the world needs laughter. They put on a talent show which fails to have an effect, but then the younger characters get him to laugh by showing him his own reflection in a mirror while he's trying to scare them; the Professor has a change of heart, and decides to let everyone go.

At that moment, however, a volcano on the island begins to erupt; the Professor uses his submarine to get the comic characters off the island, but it gets stuck in a cavern. Popeye finds his spinach in the water, eats it, and frees the submarine. The story ends with the comic characters and the Professor being treated to a party on the White House lawn; they're told that the President will join them shortly. Unbeknownst to the guests, he is actually at that moment enjoying the comics page of his newspaper.

***City of Caterpillar*** is the debut studio album by American band City of Caterpillar, which was released on May 1, 2002 on LP and CD formats through Level Plane Records. Since its release, critics have praised its sound, which combines elements of screamo with post-rock, and it is now seen as an essential recording of early 2000s screamo. The album would eventually become out-of-print for years, however Repeater Records reissued a remastered version of the album on LP format on May 27, 2016.

## Background and recording

The band recorded the album in Maryland between the years 2001 and 2002, hiring Mark Smoot to record and master it. According to guitarist/vocalist Brandon Evans, the band frequently listened to The Cure's album *Pornography* during the recording sessions, and most of the mixing decisions were influenced by the album. Of the recording sessions, only one track was left off the final album, titled "As the Curtains Dim (Little White Lie)". Originally intended to appear on a 10" split with Pg. 99, which would eventually go unreleased, the track would later be released as a digital single in 2016, as well as being released as the b-side to the group's 2017 "Driving Spain Up a Wall" 12" single.

## Critical reception and legacy

*City of Caterpillar* is now seen by critics as one of the best screamo albums from the early 2000s. Named as one of Treble Zine's ten essential screamo albums in 2014, A.T. Bossenger called it "consistently unpredictable" and "an irresistibly thrilling ride". In Blake Butler's review of the album for the Allmusic Guide, he rewarded the album a near-perfect four and a half stars out of a possible five, stating that the group's "moody, sometimes spastic, sometimes brooding breed of dark rock is both well-written and timeless", concluding his write up by stating "albums of this breed only come along a few times in a genre." Punknews.org staff member Jordon Rogowski similarly rated the album four and a half stars out of five, calling it "one of the most promising releases \[he has\] heard in years." In an article for *Vice* about both the album and the band, Jason Heller states that *City of Caterpillar* is "something we'll never stop being in awe of."

The album is now seen to of help influence the post-rock-meets-screamo style that is sometimes called "post-screamo". The album has helped influence artists such as Envy and Circle Takes the Square.

# Katharine Wright Haskell

**Katharine Wright Haskell** (August 19, 1874 – March 3, 1929) was an American teacher, suffragist, and the younger sister of aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. She worked closely with her brothers, managing their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio when they were away; acting as their right-hand woman and general factotum in Europe; assisting with their correspondence and business affairs; and providing a sounding board for their ideas. She pursued a professional career as a high school teacher in Dayton and became an international celebrity. A significant figure in the early-twentieth-century women's movement, she worked on behalf of woman suffrage in Ohio and served as the third female trustee of Oberlin College.

## Early years

Katharine Wright was born in Dayton, Ohio, on August 19, 1874, exactly three years after Orville Wright. She was the youngest of five surviving children of Bishop Milton Wright and Susan Koerner Wright. Her mother died of tuberculosis in 1889. Throughout her teenage years and early adulthood, she pursued her education and teaching career while managing the home she shared with her father, an itinerant preacher, and older brothers. She was close to Wilbur and Orville, providing moral and material support as they worked in aviation. (The two oldest Wright brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin, left home while she was growing up.)

Katharine attended Central High School in Dayton and completed her secondary education at Oberlin Academy in 1893–94. After two years at what was then Oberlin's preparatory division, she attended Oberlin College, one of the few coeducational institutions in the United States at the time. The only Wright sibling to earn a college degree, she graduated in 1898.

Katharine was intellectually curious and determined to become financially independent. Upon graduating from Oberlin, she took a position teaching Latin and English at Steele High School in Dayton. Although she found the work rewarding, she complained of earning less than her male colleagues and being assigned less desirable courses to teach. This early experience of gender inequality in the workplace led to a lifelong commitment to women's rights and education. She hired a teenage maid, Carrie Kayler, for assistance with housework and who would remain with the family for decades.

## Collaboration with brothers

The Wright Brothers, having neither independent resources nor government support, funded their aeronautical endeavors with earnings from their bicycle shop. After they began spending summers at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1901, Katharine helped run the shop, pack supplies for their experiments and handled their official correspondence and relations with the press. As Wilbur and Orville's efforts to market the Wright Flyer took them to Washington, D.C., and Europe, Katharine wrote them letters in which she kept them abreast of the progress of the family businesses, as well as personal and hometown news. She often scolded her unmarried brothers when they failed to keep up their end of the correspondence and warned them against amorous liaisons and other “distractions” that lay in wait for them abroad. Many of Katharine's letters from this and later periods are available as digital scans on the Library of Congress website. (See external links section).

In 1908, after nearly three years of trying, the brothers convinced the U.S. Signal Corps to allow them to test their Flyer for possible sale to the U.S. government at Fort Myer, Virginia. Orville was the pilot for the demonstrations. After a week of successful and record-breaking flights, on September 17, the plane crashed due to a split propeller, killing the passenger, U.S. Army Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, and seriously injuring Orville, who suffered broken ribs and a broken leg. Katharine took emergency leave from her teaching job to be at his bedside at an Army hospital in northern Virginia. She rarely left Orville's room during his seven-week recuperation and never returned to her career. Orville later said that he would have died without his sister's aid. In the aftermath of the crash, Katharine helped her brothers negotiate a one-year extension of their contract with the Signal Corps.

Katharine was not the only woman contributing important assistance to the brothers. In 1910 they advertised for someone to do 'plain sewing'. They actually meant 'plane sewing' as they needed someone to stitch the fabrics to cover their planes, but the newspaper which published the advert assumed a misspelling and changed the vowel. They hired Ida Holdgreve. When the company closed in 1915 she went on to work as forewoman overseeing many other women sewers at the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company.

## Celebrity

Shortly after Orville's hospitalization, Wilbur asked Katharine to sail to France with their recuperating brother. She and Orville joined Wilbur in Pau in early 1909. Katharine dominated the social scene in Europe, considered more outgoing and charming than her described shy brothers. She used French when liaising with European royalty and influential dignitaries like Alfonso XIII, King of Spain, Georges Clémenceau, Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe, and Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia. She also made three flights with Wilbur while they were in Pau, becoming one of the first women to go up in an airplane.

French journalists wrote extensively about her, in one instance concocting a story that the “Wright sister” had assisted Wilbur and Orville with their mathematical computations. Katharine would attempt to refute it in later years. In recognition of Katharine's importance to the Wright family team, the French government honored her as an Officier de l’Instruction Publique — one of France's highest academic distinctions — when her brothers received the prestigious Légion d’Honneur in 1909.

The three Wrights returned to the United States as national heroes and international celebrities. Back home in Dayton, Katharine took on formal business responsibilities, serving briefly on the board of the Wright Company before Orville sold the family airplane business in 1915. At the same time, she became an outspoken supporter of the woman suffrage movement in Ohio. In anticipation of an unsuccessful attempt to amend the state constitution, she marched in a suffrage parade in Dayton on October 24, 1914, along with her father and brothers Orville and Lorin. A pioneering feminist, Katharine would later write: “I get all ‘het up’ over living forever in a ‘man’s world,’ with so much discussion about what kind of women men like and so little concern over what kind of men women like, that it's a good deal like the particular subject of woman suffrage used to be with me. Orv always teased me about that. When we were working for it, he used to say that woman suffrage was like Rome, in one respect: all roads led to it, with me.” Katharine traveled to Columbus to lobby state legislators on behalf of woman suffrage. In 1919, Ohio became the fifth state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment.

## Life after the deaths of Wilbur and Bishop Milton Wright

In 1914, two years after Wilbur’s death, Katharine, Orville, and Bishop Milton Wright moved to Hawthorn Hill, a newly constructed mansion in the Dayton suburb of Oakwood. Bishop Wright died three years later. Carrie Kayler and her husband, Charles Grumbach, also had an apartment in the house. As his scientific career wound down, Orville became increasingly dependent on Katharine. While continuing to manage the household, she looked after his social schedule, correspondence, and business engagements along with his salaried secretary, Mabel Beck. She played an active behind-the-scenes role in Orville’s decades-long struggle with the Smithsonian Institution to gain appropriate recognition for the Wright Brothers’ invention.

As Orville's consort, Katharine attended many formal ceremonies and aviation events, such the International Air Races in St. Louis in 1923 and Dayton in 1924. In September 1922, they helped the Wright Aeronautical Company christen the *Wilbur Wright* flying boat, designed by aviation pioneer Grover Loening, and participated in its maiden flight over the Hudson River. At the launch, Katharine and Orville were photographed standing beside Arctic explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson, whose professional relationship with the youngest Wright brother led to a brief but intense emotional relationship with Katharine in the early 1920s, as documented in their extensive correspondence. Prominent in Dayton society, Katharine was a member of the Helen Hunt Club, a women's literary group; president of the Young Women's League; and a supporter of other civic organizations. She was the moving force behind the Oberlin Alumni Association in Dayton and served as her class secretary for many years. In 1923, she was elected to the Oberlin College board of trustees and served from 1924 until her death in 1929. As only the third female trustee in Oberlin's history, she exerted a strong influence in areas such as faculty and presidential appointments, building plans, and academic freedom.

## Marriage, later life, and death

Over the years, Katharine stayed in touch with newspaperman Henry (Harry) J. Haskell, a close friend from her college days who had once tutored her in math. Associate editor (later editor) of the Kansas City Star, Haskell lived in Kansas City, Missouri, where Katharine and Orville visited him on several occasions (their older brother Reuchlin and his family also lived in Kansas City.) Haskell was one of a handful of influential journalists who spearheaded the campaign to vindicate the Wright brothers in their dispute with the Smithsonian. After his wife's death in 1923, he and Katharine began a long-distance romance that was conducted primarily through letters. Although her secret fiancé and Orville had long been friends, Katharine was apprehensive about her brother's likely reaction to their marriage. Haskell belatedly broke the news to Orville: the surviving Wright brother was devastated and virtually stopped speaking to his sister.

Katharine finally married Harry on November 20, 1926, in a small private ceremony at the Oberlin home of their mutual friend Professor Louis Lord, a well-known classicist. Orville, convinced that his sister had violated a family pact to remain unmarried, refused to attend the wedding and severed all contact with his sister. Other family members were more supportive, however, and one of Katharine's nieces even attended the ceremony with her husband. Leaving Hawthorn Hill in secret and with a heavy heart, Katharine made her new home with Harry in Kansas City. Although they enjoyed a happy marriage, she continued to grieve over her relationship with Orville.

In early 1929, as the Haskells were preparing to embark on their belated honeymoon in Europe, Katharine contracted pneumonia. When Orville found out, he still refused to contact her. Their brother Lorin, who had enthusiastically supported Katharine's marriage plans, prevailed on Orville to visit her, and he was at her bedside when she died on March 3, 1929, at age 54.

## Legacy

In a posthumous citation, Katharine's fellow Oberlin trustees described her as “a world figure who emerged from and dwelt in a model American home.” In 1931 Haskell donated a fountain to the college in her memory. Featuring a replica of a bronze sculpture by Verrocchio, it stands near the entrance to the Allen Memorial Art Museum, a short distance from the college's Wilbur and Orville Wright Laboratory of Physics.

For decades historians and biographers of the Wright Brothers ignored or downplayed Katharine's role as an integral member of the family team. Only with the surge of interest in women's history in the late twentieth century, and the concomitant discovery of previously unknown letters and other documents, did she come to be recognized as both Wilbur and Orville's unsung partner and a significant figure in the women's movement.

Richard Maurer's *The Wright Sister* and Ian Mackersey's *The Wright Brothers,* both published to coincide with the centenary of the first flight in 2003, and David McCullough's *The Wright Brothers* (2015) reflect the ongoing effort to restore Katharine Wright Haskell to her rightful place in the Wright brothers’ saga. In 2017, Henry J. Haskell's grandson published *Maiden Flight*, a work of creative nonfiction about her late-life marriage, followed by a three-part biographical podcast titled *In Her Own Wright*. Novelist Patty Dann adopted a less rigorously source-based approach in *The Wright Sister* (2020). Dramatic treatments of Katharine's life range from one-woman shows to the 2022 opera *Finding Wright* by composer Laura Kaminsky and librettist Andrea Fellows Fineberg. In 2022 the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum unveiled a new Wright Brothers exhibit in which Katharine's role is highlighted.

title: Beveled glass

abstract: Beveled glass is usually made by taking thick glass and creating an angled surface cut (bevel) around the entire periphery. Bevels act as prisms in sunlight creating an interesting color refraction which both highlights the glass work and provides a spectrum of colors which would ordinarily be absent in clear float glass. Beveled glass can be obtained as clusters which are arranged to create a specific design. These can vary from simple three or four piece designs, often used in top lights of windows and conservatories, to more complex combinations of many pieces, suitable for larger panels such as doors and side screens. Beveled glass has also been used with clear and colored textured glass to create designs. Textured glass is typically 1⁄8 inch (3 mm) thick and has a distinct visible texture. Beveled glass is typical made from 1⁄4 inch (6 mm) float plate glass but thicknesses up to 1⁄2 inch (10 mm) have been used for larger windows. The width of the bevel also can vary depending on the desired effect. The combination of beveled glass is juxtaposed to the textured glass creating dramatic visual effects. Beveling was traditionally done manually by grinding and polishing operations: The bevel is obtained by holding the glass against a horizontal roughing wheel, sand and water also playing an important part in the operation. The bevel, like the surface, must also be polished. An emory wheel is used to remove the sand and clean the surface. Then after being held against a horizontal grindstone, a polishing wheel with pumice stone is used. To brighten the glass, a buffing wheel with rouge upon it is employed. Modern beveled glass is machine made. The automation of this traditionally hand made craft was facilitated by the development of plastic based metal deburring wheels which provided adequate smoothing of the ground glass face without the difficulties involved with traditional aluminum oxide and natural sandstone smoothing stones. The best natural smoothing stones came from a quarry in Newcastle, England and would be round wheels with a central hole several feet in diameter and 8 inches (200 mm) thick. The stone's quality was dictated by the consistency of the sandstone, as any imperfection would scratch the glass being smoothed. These large stones would smooth the rough scratches created by the grinding process. The type of grinding and smoothing equipment depended upon whether one was creating straight line, outside or inside curved bevels. Outside curves and straight lines are ground on a flat rotating platter covered in a thin slurry of silicon carbide and water. Inside curves were ground on a silicon carbide grinding wheel of appropriate grit with water running on the wheel. Smoothing the ground face was done using the Newcastle stone for outside curves and straight line bevels and a cone shaped polishing wheel of relatively fine grit aluminum oxide. Despite the advantages of the plastic smoothing wheels, the crispness of the bevel edge is superior on the stone smoothed traditionally beveled pieces and can distinguish hand made beveled glass. The final step was polishing the beveled face using a felt covered wheel with a slurry of water and optical polishing powder. It was not uncommon to have pieces with a combination of outside and inside curve as well as straight line bevels. The objective was to have an even bevel width, even edge thickness with no facets in the bevel face and a crisp bevel edge. In the early 1900s in USA it was not uncommon to see beveled oval door glass 5 feet (1.5 m) in length with 2-inch (50 mm) wide bevels on 3⁄8-inch (10 mm) thick plate glass. Creating such bevels required two craftsmen working as a team.

> The bevel is obtained by holding the glass against a horizontal roughing wheel, sand and water also playing an important part in the operation. The bevel, like the surface, must also be polished. An emory wheel is used to remove the sand and clean the surface. Then after being held against a horizontal grindstone, a polishing wheel with pumice stone is used. To brighten the glass, a buffing wheel with rouge upon it is employed.

Modern beveled glass is machine made. The automation of this traditionally hand made craft was facilitated by the development of plastic based metal deburring wheels which provided adequate smoothing of the ground glass face without the difficulties involved with traditional aluminum oxide and natural sandstone smoothing stones. The best natural smoothing stones came from a quarry in Newcastle, England and would be round wheels with a central hole several feet in diameter and 8 inches (200 mm) thick. The stone's quality was dictated by the consistency of the sandstone, as any imperfection would scratch the glass being smoothed. These large stones would smooth the rough scratches created by the grinding process. The type of grinding and smoothing equipment depended upon whether one was creating straight line, outside or inside curved bevels. Outside curves and straight lines are ground on a flat rotating platter covered in a thin slurry of silicon carbide and water. Inside curves were ground on a silicon carbide grinding wheel of appropriate grit with water running on the wheel. Smoothing the ground face was done using the Newcastle stone for outside curves and straight line bevels and a cone shaped polishing wheel of relatively fine grit aluminum oxide.

Despite the advantages of the plastic smoothing wheels, the crispness of the bevel edge is superior on the stone smoothed traditionally beveled pieces and can distinguish hand made beveled glass. The final step was polishing the beveled face using a felt covered wheel with a slurry of water and optical polishing powder. It was not uncommon to have pieces with a combination of outside and inside curve as well as straight line bevels. The objective was to have an even bevel width, even edge thickness with no facets in the bevel face and a crisp bevel edge.

In the early 1900s in USA it was not uncommon to see beveled oval door glass 5 feet (1.5 m) in length with 2-inch (50 mm) wide bevels on 38-inch (10 mm) thick plate glass. Creating such bevels required two craftsmen working as a team.

## Story

Baijnath alias Baiju is a slacker, trouble-maker, unemployed, and a flirt. The villagers rally together and force his father to ask him to leave the village, which Baiju does. Baiju's travels take him to the castle of a king, who has a beautiful daughter named Ratnavali. When he sees Ratnavali, he is smitten by her beauty and falls head over heels in love with her. He parks himself opposite her room, and awaits the time when she will make a presence on the balcony, so that he can get an eyeful of her beautiful self. This enrages the King, and he orders his men to thoroughly beat up Baiju and throw him in the sea, which they do. But Baiju survives, recovers, and gets back to wooing the beautiful Ratnavali. This time the King challenges Baiju to accumulate ten lakh rupees in three months, and he will then give his consent to marrying Ratnavali. The King further adds that if Baiju fails, he will be hanged. Baiju accepts the challenge, and brags that he can accumulate not ten lakhs, but fifteen lakhs within that time period. With no survival nor job skills, and no one to even loan him the fifteen lakh rupees, how is Baiju going to escape from the death-trap that the King has prepared for him?
