**Mobile National Cemetery** is a United States National Cemetery located in the city of Mobile, Alabama. It encompasses 5.2 acres (2.1 ha), and as of the end of 2005, had 5,326 interments. It is an annex to the larger Magnolia Cemetery. Mobile National Cemetery is administered by Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola, Florida, and is currently closed to new interments.

## History

Mobile National Cemetery was established in 1865, when Union troops occupied the city of Mobile after the Battle of Mobile Bay, during the Civil War. Initially, casualties of the battle were interred in a section of the city owned Magnolia Cemetery, but they quickly had a need for more space and a plot of 3 acres (1.2 ha) was granted to the Army by the city in 1866. By 1871, the cemetery had 841 interments, mostly soldiers whose remains were moved from other nearby battlefield sites.

Mobile National Cemetery was listed, along with the rest of Magnolia Cemetery, on the National Register of Historic Places on 13 June 1986.

**Missoni** is an Italian luxury fashion house based in Varese, and known for its colourful knitwear designs. The company was founded by Ottavio ("Tai") and Rosita Missoni in 1953.

## History

### Early beginnings

The business was founded in 1953, when Ottavio and Rosita Missoni set up a small knitwear workshop in Gallarate, Italy. They presented their first collection under the Missoni label in Milan in 1958. The business prospered, with the support of fashion editor Anna Piaggi, then at *Arianna* magazine. Rosita met the French stylist Emmanuelle Khanh in New York in 1965, which led to a collaboration and a new collection the following year. In April 1967, they were invited to show at the Pitti Palace in Florence. Rosita told the models to remove their bras, supposedly because they were the wrong colour, and showed through the thin lamé blouses. The material became transparent under the lights and caused a sensation. The Missonis were not invited back the following year, but the business grew; a new factory in Sumirago was built in 1969. Missoni designs were championed in the US by Diana Vreeland, editor of American *Vogue*, and a Missoni boutique was opened in Bloomingdales.

Missoni reached the peak of its influence in the fashion world in the early 1970s (though has since been the subject of revivals in interest as new generations of fashion writers discovered the appeal of its core knitwear). Tai Missoni then became more interested in other projects, designing costumes for La Scala, carpets, and tapestries.

### Second generation

Rosita Missoni lost interest in fashion in the 1990s and was succeeded by her daughter Angela in 1998 while Rosita took over Missoni Home.

In 1996 the Missonis transferred control of the business to their three children: Vittorio Missoni became marketing director; Luca (born 1956) was menswear designer until 2008; Angela (born 1958) was womenswear designer, and took over menswear in 2008 when Luca became responsible for the Archive and Events. By 2005, Missoni earned 60 to 70 per cent of its revenue from womenswear. From 2007 until 2009, Massimo Gasparini briefly served as the company's CEO, setting up a new organizational structure and streamlining its product offer.

On 13 September 2011, Missoni made headlines briefly when Target Stores offered low-cost variants of Missoni products in their stores and on their website. Most items sold out within 24 hours, there were long queues outside stores and the Target website was overloaded. Some items appeared at higher prices on eBay within hours and Target did not restock.

### Death of Vittorio Missoni

On 4 January 2013 a plane carrying Vittorio Missoni, then CEO of Missoni, went missing off the coast of Venezuela. On 27 June 2013, the Venezuelan government announced that remains of the aircraft had been found north of Los Roques archipelago. Vittorio's body was recovered along with those of the other passengers.

From 2013, designer Patricia Urquiola was responsible for redesigning the label's stores. In February 2014, Angela Missoni hired Rossella Jardini, former creative director of Moschino, as a consultant.

### 2018 sale

In 2018, the Missoni family sold a 41.2% stake in the company to investment fund Fondo Strategico Italiano (FSI) for €70 million ($82 million), putting the family's share at 58.8%. A year later, Angela Missoni announced plans to list the company at the Borsa Italiana within three years.

In 2021, Angela Missoni was succeeded at the helm of the women's line by Alberto Caliri. The following year, Missoni named Filippo Grazioli its new creative director, with Caliri overeeing Missoni Sport and Missoni Home.

In October 2024, Missoni announced the departure of Grazioli and the reappointment of Alberto Caliri to the creative director position.

## Other brands

### Missoni Sport

Missoni Sport was first launched in 1985 under the creative direction of Luca Missoni. It was initially licensed out to Malerba, brought in-house in January 2002 and eventually discontinued in 2007. It was relaunched in 2022, now produced in-house as a wellness and comfort line, retailing at around 20 per cent less than the signature brand.

Missoni Sport was revived in 2022. In 2023, it launched a capsule collection of tracksuits, cardigans, hoodies and sweatshirts in collaboration with soccer player Mike Maignan.

### M Missoni

M Missoni, a less expensive line, was introduced in 1998 and initially manufactured and distributed by Marzotto. Margherita Maccapani Missoni, granddaughter of Rosita Missoni, served as the label's creative director from 1998 until 2021.

In 2012, M Missoni launched its first accessories collection. Missoni later brought the M Missoni line in-house in April 2018, selecting Italian manufacturing company Gilmar SpA as a production partner for the line. This followed the expiration of the licensing agreement with Valentino Fashion Group, which had first been signed in 2005.

By 2019, M Missoni's sales amounted to around 30 million euros. Also in 2019, Margherita Missoni presented her first full collection as the label's creative director. By 2021, M Missoni was discontinued.

### Missoni Home

Missoni Home has its roots in furnishing fabrics produced in 1981 in collaboration with Rosita's family firm.

In 2012, Missoni Home launched its cooperation with the 645-unit Acqua Livingstone tower in Manila, as the first residential building in the world for the brand to fully equip.

In 2021, Missoni signed an agreement with Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development Company to use its Missoni Home line to decorate the apartments and penthouses of the Urban Oasis, a 38-floor waterfront building under construction by the Dubai Canal. As part of Missoni Home, the company launched the Missoni Resort Club project in 2022, customizing the Le Carillon beach club in Paraggi and the One&Only Reethi Rah resort in the Maldives. By 2023, a Missoni Resort Club outpost opened in collaboration with Nikki Beach Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo.

### Hotel Missoni

In November 2005, Missoni and the Rezidor Hotel Group signed an agreement to create Hotel Missoni, with plans to have 30 hotels open or in development by 2012. Two Hotel Missoni branches eventually opened in Edinburgh (2009) and Kuwait City (2011). The hotel agreement ceased in 2014, and the Edinburgh hotel was rebranded as Radisson Collection.

### Missoni Kids

Missoni operated a licence with Children Worldwide Fashion until early 2000s, when it was brought in-house with a more restricted product offer. In 2022, Missoni signed a multiyear licensing agreement with Italian manufacturing company Simonetta for the development, production and worldwide distribution of the Missoni Kids line, starting from the spring 2023 collection.

### Other activities

The company launched its first perfume – manufactured by Charles of the Ritz and developed and distributed by Max Factor – in 1982, although the license is now held by Estée Lauder.

In 2011, Target offered *Missoni for Target*, a limited-edition collection including home goods; accessories; and apparel for women, men, girls, and babies both in stores and online.

In 2017, Missoni Baia, Missoni's first venture into residential real estate development, broke ground in the Edgewater neighborhood of Miami, Florida. The 249 unit complex will be completed by the end of 2022.

In 2018, Missoni and Safilo entered into a five-year global licensing agreement for the production and distribution of prescription eyewear and sunglass collections for both the main label and M Missoni. In 2019, the company signed a global licensing agreement for the design, production and distribution of watches with Timex Group.

## Campaigns

Over the years, Missoni has commissioned various notable photographers for its ad campaigns, including Juergen Teller (2010) and Alasdair McLellan (2013).

## Sponsoring and philanthropy

In 2017, Jennifer Lopez teamed up with Missoni along with Women's Cancer Research Fund and Saks Fifth Avenue to set a fund raise for cancer research. Lopez helped promote the $35 limited-edition Missoni tees, and the profits went to 12 different cancer charities.

# Misson, Nottinghamshire

**Misson** is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 12 miles north of Retford, and not directly accessible from the rest of Nottinghamshire, as it is on the north bank of the River Idle. Misson Springs, which lie north of the village itself, is the northernmost place within the county. The parish also includes the hamlet of Newington, at its western edge. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 698, increasing to 711 at the 2011 census, and marginally more to 713 residents at the 2021 census.

The parish church of St John the Baptist was rebuilt after extensive damage by lightning in 1894. RAF Misson was located about a mile to the north-east of the village.

Permission was granted in 2016 to test for shale gas in Misson.

## Toponymy

The place-name Misson is possibly a derivative of an Old English word, *mos*, 'moss, marsh, bog', hence 'mossy or marshy place'. Alternatively the name may contain Old Norse *mysni*, 'a water-plant’, perhaps the water-arum.

Misson appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as *Misna* and *Misne*.

## History

When the Domesday survey was completed in 1086, Misson was mentioned, but there was no church building at that time. The first church building was constructed around 1150, and was made of limestone, probably shipped in on the River Idle, since this stone does not occur locally. The building belonged to Welbeck Abbey, but a Gilbertine Priory was established at Mattersey, around 1185, and the Canons argued that the church should belong to them. It is not clear what the grounds for this argument were, but the dispute was eventually referred to Pope Celestine III, who passed the decision back to local authorities. A meeting at Blyth in 1192 decided in favour of Mattersey Priory owning it. One hundred years later, John Clarell was the vicar, who as well as also being vicar of Babworth, East Bridgford, Lowdham and Harworth, found time to be chaplain to the Pope and to King Edward I.

The church was visited by the Archbishop of York, Thomas Wolsey, in 1530, after he fell out of favour with the king and was stripped of his other offices. Henry VIII's split with Rome and the Dissolution of the Monasteries led to Mattersey Priory being dissolved in 1538, and although most of its property was sold off, the church came under the patronage of the king from then onwards, and was valued at a little over £6. The village was devastated by fire on 8 August 1652, when 48 buildings were destroyed by the blaze, but most of the villagers were attending church, which was not affected by the fire.

Misson was the location for one of the first schools in Nottinghamshire, when in 1693 Thomas Mowbray and John Pinder sponsored the construction of a building in the churchyard. It was granted an income of £5 per year, raised from some land in the parish, and was to teach six children at a time to read. In 1745, the vicar John Foss reported to the Archbishop of York that there were 70 families in the village, 50 people who took communion, and over 20 children in the school. The population had increased to 99 families by 1764. More detailed figures are available for 1832, when 841 people lived in the village, although this had reduced to 719 people by 1912. In 1832 there were eight public houses in the village: The Green Dragon, Ferry Boat Inn, The White Horse, The Red Lion, The Globe, The Golden Ball, The Oddfellows Arms and Bull Hill.

A directory of 1853 stated that the village contained 5,783 acres (2,340 ha) of good sandy soil, and that most of this had previously been common land, but had been enclosed in 1769. However, the Inclosure Act was awarded on 11 June 1762, and a copy of it is held in the archive at the University of Nottingham . A map produced in 1761 shows that Misson was surrounded by three fields, East Field to the east, Butt Field to the west and Mill Field to the north-west. It shows how these were sub-divided as a result of the enclosures. To the north of them, the area remained common land, and was used for the grazing of animals, the production of hay, and probably also reeds for thatching. Part of Misson was in Nottinghamshire, and part was in Lincolnshire, but the boundary between the two counties was not well defined in 1853. There was a ferry across the River Idle, which ran from the bottom of Water Lane on the north bank to a point a little further downstream on the south bank. The ferry allowed villagers to reach Everton, and is thought to have operated from the 16th century until the mid-20th century. The Misson hub has images of two different boats used for the service, one a simple punt with four passengers, and one a steam boat, with large paddle wheels and a crew of three.

Significant repairs were carried out to the fabric of the church in 1882 and 1886, but on 23 September 1893 the tower was hit by lightning. Large pieces of masonry crashed down through the building, and four fires started, which caused considerable damage. The quick-thinking parish clerk, Robert Pinder, entered the building to rescue a chest of documents, including the parish registers and the insurance policy. Most of the building, apart from the chancel, was too damaged to be usable, but enough repairs had been made by June 1894 to allow the Bishop of Southwell to reopen it, although reconstruction continued for another two years.

Herbert H Skinner was the vicar from 1927 to 1933, and early in his term of office, the county council threatened to take over the Misson Church of England School because it did not meet the education authority's standards. This move seemed to be favoured by many in the village, but Skinner insisted that he was in the process of improving standards. In 1930 he was given a three-month ultimatum by many parents, who said they would withdraw their children from the school if things did not improve, but the threatened strike was called off at the last minute.

As well as the parish church, there were a significant number of Methodists within the village. A Methodist Society was first formed in 1793, although they did now have a building in which to meet. They built a chapel in 1818, although its site is not known, and the Primitive Methodists built one in 1822, again at an unknown location. A survey conducted in 1851 showed that 140-160 people attended the parish church, 100 adults plus 25 children formed the congregation of the Wesleyan Methodist chapel, while the Primitive Methodists attracted 15 people on Sunday morning and 69 in the evening. A new Primitive Methodist chapel was built close to the parish church in 1873, and a new Wesleyan Methodist chapel was constructed on Top Street in 1897. Both buildings have since been converted to houses. There was also a Primitive Methodist chapel at Misson Springs between the 1890s and the mid-20th century, when it was demolished.

During the First World War, a camp for prisoners of war was established to the north of the village, just to the south of the railway line. They were a 'migratory gang', who worked within the agricultural sector. During the Second World War, another camp was established at the site of the present Misson Mill, which housed prisoners of war and displaced people.

### Drainage

Misson lies on the north bank of the River Idle, and at the southern edge of Hatfield Chase, a large flat area of land which prior to the 17th century was mainly marshland, with a few isolated settlements where the ground was slightly higher. The character of the area changed significantly when Cornelius Vermuyden was appointed by Charles I to drain the chase in 1626. He changed the courses of the River Don and the Torne, while the course of River Idle, which had formerly turned to the north at the eastern edge of the parish, was blocked off by a dam, and the waters diverted along Bycarrs Dyke to enter the River Trent at West Stockwith. The point at which the dam was constructed is now known as Idle Stop. A series of straight ditches were cut across the landscape, to enable the marshland to be used for agriculture. Vermuyden's original scheme had been funded by selling the land he would have gained by carrying out the work to a number of participants, who were mostly Dutch. The land they then owned was called *scotted land*, and required them to pay *scots* or taxes to fund the ongoing maintenance of the drainage.

Some 60,000 acres (24,000 ha) had been affected by the works, of which Vermuyden and the Participants received one third, the king received one third, and the local commoners received the final third. In Misson, Vermuyden and his daughters Sarah and Catherine were granted half of the 2,600 acres (1,100 ha) which comprised Misson Waters and Commons for their lifetimes. They paid ground rent of £180 per year. Drainage work in the parish of Misson had been largely funded by a grant of £10,000 from the Crown. Other Participants had also been granted land in Misson, and there was unrest among the locals in this and other local villages. Although Vermeuden had been successful in carrying out similar works in the Low Countries, there were issues with those on Hatfield Chase, and remedial action was taken over the next few years. The onset of the English Civil War created confusion, and enabled locals to sabotage the works, re-flooding parts of the Chase by raising flood gates and breaking down banks and sluices. Riots broke out in 1650, and there was general unrest until matters were resolved in 1719.

Efforts to improve the drainage of the area were made in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The engineer John Smeaton was asked to advise on improvements in the 1760s and 1770s. He declared that Misson Deeps and the land near Bull Hassocks were the most difficult to drain, because of the remoteness from an outfall. From Misson, the water was carried by the Snow Sewer to an outfall at Ferry Sluice on the River Trent, but Smeaton's recommendations for improvements to the Snow Sewer were not implemented. The Participants continued to manage the drainage scheme until 1862, when an Act of Parliament was obtained to create the Corporation of the Level of Hatfield Chase. Although owners of *scotted* land were still required to pay *scots* and other rates, the Act enabled the Corporation to collect rates from all areas which benefitted from the drainage, but where the land was not *scotted*. Misson was one of 21 townships or parishes which were then required to pay drainage rates.

Following the passing of the Land Drainage Act 1930, responsibility for the management of drainage passed to Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs), and in Misson's case, this was the Finningley IDB. They managed the drainage of most of the parish, although not the slightly higher ground on which the village centre stands. In 2012, Finningley IDB merged with six other internal drainage boards to form the Doncaster East IDB. Water levels are maintained largely by pumping stations. Idle Stop pumping station is located on the banks of the River Idle on the eastern border of the parish, and pumps water from the Cow Pasture Drain, which runs west to east, and the South Idle Drain, which runs north to south. Austerfield Drain runs along the western edge of the parish, and is pumped into the Idle by Newington Pumping Station. Further north, the parish is crossed by Snow Sewer, Owl Drain and Sanderson's Bank South Drain, which are pumped into the Warping Drain by Park Drain Pumping Station, located just to the east of the parish boundary.

### Railways

Misson has been served by two railways in the past. The first was the Gainsborough to Doncaster line of the Great Northern Railway. This opened in 1867, and crossed the northern tip of the parish. There were level crossings at Beech Hill, on the road northwards from Misson Springs, and at Park Drain, on the road to Idle Stop. There was no passenger station, but there were sidings at the latter, which were known as Park Drain Sidings. In 1893, exploratory borings to test for coal were made near Idle Stop by George Dunston, and coal seams were found at depths of 3,142 feet (958 m) and 3,185 feet (971 m). A passenger station opened at the site three years later, and is shown on the 1899 map. Dunston was a Colliery proprietor and mining engineer, and in 1897 applied for a licence to serve alcohol at a hotel he was planning to build at Park Drain. The initial exploration had been undertaken by Dunston, Arthur Wilson and the Duke of Portland, and the application was supported by 65 local landowners, just five of whom owned 2,500 acres (1,000 ha) near the site of the hotel. The licence was granted on the basis that coal mining was expected to start almost immediately.

The Park Drain Hotel was completed by 1899, when Dunston held a dinner there, to outline his plans for the future. A local newspaper noted that the hotel stood in an isolated position, with only some railway men's cottages and a signal box nearby. Dunston expected that a large village or small town would soon be developed near the hotel, as coal mining began. The station served the people of Westwoodside, and the hotel was owned by Whitworth Breweries. It is not clear whether the station was in full operation at that time, as Dunston noted that some of his friends were missing from the dinner, because the railway company would not stop the train on which they were travelling at Park Drain. The start of the First World War and issues with drainage meant that the mining scheme was abandoned. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1955, and freight followed in 1964, but the hotel continued to trade until the 1990s, despite its isolated location. Since 2003, it has been used as offices.

The second railway was the Bawtry to Haxey railway line, which had originally been proposed as the Tickhill Light Railway in 1901. However, that scheme foundered, and when the Great Northern Railway built it, the link to Tickhill was omitted. The ambitions for it to be a major route for the transport of coal were replaced by it being little more than an agricultural siding, usually known as the Misson Branch. The line was a little under 8 miles (13 km) long, with a goods depot at Misson, and opened on 12 August 1912. At some point prior to 1923, much of the line to the east of Misson was lifted, and there are stories that the materials were shipped to France during the First World War, but no hard documentary evidence to prove it. There was a private siding at the goods station, for Yorkshire Amalgamated Products, and another private siding to the west of the village centre, serving William Oates's sand quarry.

The branch became part of the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923, and a speed limit of 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) was enforced. By 1960 this had been reduced to 15 miles per hour (24 km/h). There were several ungated level crossings between Bawtry and Misson, and only Station Road at Misson had the benefit of gates. Drivers were told to slow down to 10 miles per hour (16 km/h) at them, and to be prepared to stop if necessary. Misson had a simple loop line, and Squires says that this usually meant that the train, which had arrived with the engine at the front, would be propelled back to Bawtry, with the engine at the rear. However, the 1964 map shows a much longer loop to the north of the tracks as well as the short loop to the south. Prior to the nationalisation of the railways in 1948, agricultural and sand traffic was sufficient that two return trips were made on most days, but by the 1960s, trains were operated "as required" and were fairly infrequent. Soon afterwards, the line slipped into oblivion, and even the date of its closure is uncertain, with some sources quoting 7 December 1964, and others 1 April 1965. In May 1966, the Eastern Ragion of British Railways produced a plan of parts of the line, when they were about to sell 2 miles 77 chains (4.8 km) of it to Nottinghamshire Crop Driers of Misson.

# Taavo Virkhaus

**Taavo Virkhaus** (29 June 1934 – 10 February 2021) was an Estonian-American conductor, composer, and violinist.

## Biography

Virkhaus was born on 29 June 1934, in Tartu, Estonia. He was the son of conductor-composer Adalbert Virkhaus and Helene Virkhaus (née Sild). Adalbert is said to be Estonia's first professional conductor, having studied with Arthur Nikisch and Max Reger at Leipzig. Virkhaus's grandfather, David Otto Virkhaus, was a composer regarded as the father of Estonian band music.

Virkhaus attended elementary school at Tartu Teachers' Seminary, and showed musical talent at a young age. At the age of four, he appeared as a "guest conductor" for a summer community band, reportedly delighting the audience. He began playing piano before he could read music, and would listen in on his sister's piano lessons, sometimes learning by ear the repertoire she was taught. During World War II, Soviet forces occupied Estonia and began political repression of suspected dissidents. One day in 1944, Virkhaus's father was warned by a former student that the Soviets were planning a mass deportation, and his family might be among those targeted. The Virkhaus family then fled to the countryside, and from there to refugee camps throughout Europe. They were subsequently able to emigrate to the United States, after Adalbert was offered a job in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1949.

While taking refuge with his family throughout Europe, Taavo made time to study the violin, practicing repertoire that his father wrote down from memory. After moving to the United States, Virkhaus attended and graduated from Fort Lauderdale High School, and earned a violin scholarship to the University of Miami, where he graduated with honors. He spent three summers at the Tanglewood festival, receiving instruction from Pierre Monteux and Seymour Lipkin. He attended the Eastman School of Music, earning master's and doctoral degrees in conducting and composition. During his graduate studies, Virkhaus taught strings in the Penfield, NY school district and conducted the Penfield Community Orchestra (now the Penfield Symphony).

In 1966, after defending his doctorate, Virkhaus was named to the faculty of Eastman, where he taught conducting and served as Director of Music at the University of Rochester. In 1977, he was named music director of the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra in Duluth, Minnesota, where he served until 1994. From 1989 until 2003, he was the music director of the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra in Huntsville, Alabama.

Virkhaus was an active composer, with a body of work including six symphonies, two violin concertos, and a number of solo and chamber works. He guest-conducted orchestras throughout the United States, Canada, and Russia, including the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, with whom he premiered his own First Symphony, and gave the American premiere of Eduard Tubin's Ninth Symphony. In 1987, he conducted the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in a program of all Estonian composers, including works by Rudolf Tobias, Eduard Tubin, and Arvo Pärt. Virkhaus made several return trips to Estonia over the course of his career. In 1978, he was invited by fellow Estonian conductor Neeme Järvi to conduct the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, and guest-conducted that ensemble frequently on future return trips. He participated in numerous Estonian music festivals, including the Estonian Song Festival, at which he served as chief conductor in 1990. He remained affiliated with the festival until his final appearance, at age 80, in 2014.

In 2009, Virkhaus was awarded the Tartu Medal by his home city.

Virkhaus died from complications of COVID-19 in Huntsville, on 10 February 2021, at age 86, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Alabama. He is survived by his wife, Nancy (née Herman), whom he met while teaching conducting at Eastman.

The **Taichung Time Square CBD** (Chinese: 興富發CBD時代廣場; pinyin: *Xìng fù fā CBD shídài guǎngchǎng*) is a skyscraper office building located on 213 Chaofu Road, Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan. Construction of the building started in 2013 and it was completed in 2015. The height of the building is 149 m (489 ft), with a floor area of 66,660 m2 (717,500 sq ft), and it comprises 34 floors above ground, as well as seven basement levels. The building is 22nd tallest building in Taichung. The building is similar in appearance to Sompo Japan Building. The 34th floor of the building houses the American steakhouse restaurant Smith & Wollensky, which opened on 12 June 2024.

## Location

The building is located in Taichung's 7th Redevelopment Zone, which is central business district of Taichung and houses many tourist attractions, such as Huilai Monument Archaeology Park and National Taichung Theater.

## Design

Due to height restriction in the area, the volume of the building gradually retreats to form a setback, which forms a terrace space. The building and the terrace overlap to the roof garden, forming a forest in the sky. The terrace space is surrounded by green trees with vertical glass grids, allowing this green forest glass box to be integrated with the exterior of the building, which presents a novel look in the exterior design.

# Taiwan Major League

The **Taiwan Major League Professional Baseball** (**TML**; Chinese: 臺灣大聯盟; pinyin: *Táiwān Dà Liánméng*) was a professional baseball league in Taiwan that operated from 1996 to 2003. It was established by TV tycoon Chiu Fu-sheng after a row over the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) broadcasting rights. The CPBL absorbed the TML in 2003.

## History

Throughout the TML's history, all four teams were directly owned and managed by the **Naluwan Corporation**, a subsidiary of the TVBS media group, both of which were then chaired by Chiu Fu-sheng. TVBS held the broadcasting rights for CPBL games from 1993 to 1996 during the CPBL's heyday, but lost them in August 1995 to Videoland Television Network, a subsidiary of the Koos Group, whose baseball team the Koos Group Whales later joined the CPBL in 1997. Chiu therefore established TML in December 1995 in anticipation to maintain advertisement revenue. The TML's other keyman was local **Sampo Corporation**(聲寶企業)'s then chairman Chen Sheng-tian(陳盛沺); his amateur baseball team the **Sampo Giants** had been requesting to join the CPBL since 1992, but was repeatedly rejected by the CPBL for unexplained reasons. Chen later decided to join forces with Chiu and turned the Sampo Giants into Taipei Gida, and sponsored this team until the end of 2000, when he realized there was no possibility for the TML to make a profit. TML's first historical game was played by the visiting Taipei Gida and Chiayi-Tainan Luka at Chiayi County Baseball Stadium on February 28, 1997.

Throughout the TML's history, the TML, often with considerable incentives, had been attracting active CPBL players to break their CPBL contracts and join the TML. Nearly 30 CPBL players, both Taiwanese and foreign, broke from the CPBL and joined the TML. The TML also had a much looser policy on international players, such as allowing a team to register eleven international players in the 1997 season and seven in the 1998 season.

Chiu annually leased the teams' logos and naming rights to different sponsors for advertising purposes, so every year each team would bear a different name from different sponsors, while the home city and mascot remained the same. Also, players were sometimes shuffled after a season to "balance each teams' strength"; all TML players' were directly signed by the Naluwan Corporation and not the team they played for. These circumstances prevented the TML from gaining popularity comparable to the CPBL, and the TML also had difficulty in opening new markets in the aftermath of the Black Eagles Incident.

In January 2003, Chiu finally agreed to a government-brokered merger with CPBL, and reorganized his four teams to two. Chiu also resigned from his chairperson position in TVBS. President Chen Shui-bian, who acted as the middle person in the merger agreement, asked First Financial Holdings to purchase one of the teams, while Macoto Bank voluntarily took over the other.

Before the CPBL's 2003 season started, the CPBL decided to fine each former "traitor", or those who broke their contracts with the CPBL, who returned with the former TML teams because of their previous contract-breaking. Both Macoto Bank and First Financial Holdings originally refused to pay the fine, and the players were banned from playing in the 2003 season. In 2004, Macoto Bank and La New Corporation, who purchased the team from First Financial Holdings, gave in to CPBL demands and paid the fine by adding extra restrictions in these players' contracts. The ban was subsequently lifted.

## Mascots

The mascots Agan, Fala, Gida and Luka originated from Taiwanese aboriginal symbols that mean suns, robots, braves, and thunder gods respectively. This is contrary to the standard practice of the CPBL, whose member organization all chose animals as their mascots. When the merger took place, the two former TML teams changed their mascots to meet the standard CPBL practice.

Other than the member teams' home cities, games were also held in minor cities, although at a less frequently. The TML also suggested a Taiwan championship series between the TML and the CPBL, but was rebuffed.

# Emanuel Howe (British Army officer)

Lieutenant-General **Emanuel Scrope Howe** (c. 1663 – 26 September 1709), of The Great Lodge, Alice Holt Forest, Hampshire, was an English diplomat, army officer, and Member of Parliament.

## Life

He was the fourth son of John Grubham Howe (1625–1679) of Langar Hall in Nottinghamshire, the younger son of Sir John Howe, 1st Baronet. His older brother, Scrope Howe, 1st Viscount Howe, was a prominent Whig politician, raised to the peerage in 1701. Emanuel Howe was appointed a Groom of the Bedchamber in 1689 as reward for his support for William III, and held the office throughout the king's reign. Howe was also given a commission in the 1st Foot Guards, and served in Flanders where he was wounded at the 1695 Siege of Namur. He purchased a colonelcy in 1695, and was Colonel of the 15th Regiment of Foot until his death. He was promoted to Brigadier-General in 1704, Major-General in 1707 and Lieutenant-General in the year of his death, 1709. He was First Commissioner of Prizes from 1703 to 1705, and envoy-extraordinary to the Elector of Hanover between 1705 and 1709, successfully overcoming the strained relations between the English and Hanoverian reigning families to keep Hanover in the Grand Alliance.

He entered Parliament in 1701 as member for Morpeth, elected as a placeman on the Earl of Carlisle's interest to support the Court Whigs, and in 1705 also represented Wigan. He is recorded as taking part in only one debate.

## Ranger of the Royal Forest of Alice Holt

He married Ruperta Hughes, the natural daughter of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, in 1695. They were jointly appointed "Rangers of Alice Holt Forest" from 1699 onwards, a grace-and-favour sinecure. They had three sons and two daughters. After Howe's death, Ruperta continued as "Ranger of the Holt" until 1740.

Scrope-Howe was not pleased when, having spent £1,200 on repairs to the Great Lodge as requested by King William, the King repeatedly refused to repay him.

He attempted some ambitious re-introductions in the Forest, including wild boar and, moving beyond simple re-introductions, even buffalo, but these succumbed to the poaching which was endemic in Alice Holt and neighbouring Woolmer Forest at the time. Ruperta planted an oak tree near the Lodge in memory of her late father, Prince Rupert, which was replaced in the 1960s by a memorial stone. The present Lodge building dates from the 1810s but stands on the site of the Great Lodge occupied by Emanuel and Ruperta.

text:
# Emanuel Howe, 2nd Viscount Howe

**Emanuel Scrope Howe, 2nd Viscount Howe** (c. 1700 – 29 March 1735), of Langar Hall, Nottinghamshire, was a British politician and colonial administrator.

## Life

His father was Scrope Howe, a Whig Member of Parliament from whom he inherited the viscountcy and the Langar estate in 1713. In 1730 he inherited the Howe baronetcy, which merged with the viscountcy.

He was elected Member of Parliament for Nottinghamshire, in 1722. By 1732 he had encountered financial difficulties and the Duke of Newcastle suggested he resign his seat and take up the governorship of the West Indian colony of Barbados which was worth around £7,000 a year. He accepted the duke's advice and from 1733 served as governor of Barbados until dying there of disease in 1735.

## Family

In 1719 he married Mary Sophia Charlotte von Kielmansegg, daughter of Johann Adolf von Kielmansegg and Sophia von Kielmansegg, Countess of Darlington, illegitimate daughter of Ernest Augustus, Elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and his mistress Clara Elisabeth von Platen. In March 1720, her naturalisation as a British subject was approved by the House of Lords.

Emanuel Howe is probably best known as the father of four sons, three of whom served in the British military and the fourth as a ship's commander. The eldest George Howe, was an innovative army officer, killed at the opening of the Battle of Carillon in 1758. Richard Howe joined the navy, and rose to be an Admiral. William Howe became noted for his part in the capture of Quebec in 1759 and became a prominent soldier. During 1776–1778 his sons William and Richard commanded, respectively, the British army and naval forces in North America during the American War of Independence. They simultaneously served as peace commissioners to the Second Continental Congress. Richard Howe later won greater fame on the Glorious First of June in 1794. Thomas Howe commanded ships for the East India Company and made observations on Madeira and the hitherto little known Comoro Islands.

### Contributions

In 1888 Lubarsch provided the first detailed description of carcinoid tumors during autopsies of two male "patients", however it wouldn't be until 1907 that the term *karzinoid* was applied by Siegfried Oberndorfer. Lubarsch also discovered tiny crystals in the epithelial cells of the testis that resemble sperm crystals. These structures are now known as "Lubarsch' crystals".

With Friedrich Henke (1868–1943), he was editor of the *Henke-Lubarsch Handbuch der Speziellen Pathologischen Anatomie und Histologie*, which was a massive reference book containing information germane to pathology. It was founded in 1924, and produced over a forty-year span. After World War II, it was continued and edited by Robert Rössle. With veterinarian Robert von Ostertag, he collaborated on the journal *Ergebnisse der allgemeinen Pathologie und pathologischen Anatomie der Menschen und der Tiere*.

# James Stout (rackets)

**James Stout**, born 16 August 1984, is a world-ranked professional squash, rackets and real tennis player from Bermuda.

Stout was the World Champion of Rackets between 2008 - 2017, and is also ranked within the top ten in the world in Real Tennis and Squash Doubles.

He previously played professional squash on the Professional Squash Association (PSA) world tour, achieving a career high ranking of world #116 in 2004.

Alongside his pro athlete career, he has been a teaching professional at the New York Racquet and Tennis Club since 2006.

## Career

Stout began playing squash in Bermuda at the age of 4. At 13, Stout moved to England to attend boarding school at Cheltenham College, where alongside squash he also began playing the sport of rackets, coached by Mark Briers.

Stout’s early promise in rackets was shown when he won both the esteemed Foster Cup and the First Pairs Cup two years in succession, in 2000 and 2001.

In 2003, at the age of 19, he moved to Belgium to pursue his professional squash career, basing himself in the city of Antwerp and competing on the PSA tour internationally. The same year, Stout was part of the Bermuda National Team to compete at the World Team Squash Championships in Vienna, Austria.

In 2006 he represented Bermuda in squash at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne Australia, and later that year at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Cartagena, Colombia. He moved to the United States in late 2006 after being offered a teaching professional position at the New York Racquet and Tennis Club. The same year he also won the US Professional singles rackets championship and the Western Open rackets championship. In 2007, Stout represented Bermuda at the Men’s World Open Squash Championships, and again won the rackets titles at the US Professional singles and Western Open.

He defeated former world champion Neil Smith 3-0 in the U.S. Open rackets final in January 2008, and the following month won the British Open rackets championship defeating Alex Titchener-Barrett 4-1. By virtue of those two victories he was granted the right to challenge then world champion Harry Foster. The World Championship match against Foster was held in late 2008; Stout defeated Foster by a score of 6-1 (4-1 in the first leg in New York, and 2-0 in the second leg in London) becoming the second youngest ever rackets World Champion at the age of 24.

In 2009, Stout was awarded Bermuda Male Athlete of the Year in the Bermuda Government Sports Awards, and again became the British Open rackets champion.

The following year, Alex Titchener-Barrett challenged Stout for the rackets World Championship title which Stout successfully defended, winning 4-0 in the first leg in New York, and 1-1 in the second leg at the Queens Club in London.

In 2010, Stout also became the US Open rackets champion and US Open real tennis champion, defeating several higher seeds, including the defending champion, to win the title.

Stout retired from competitive singles Rackets following the 2019 season and relinquished his world title. Stout continued to play competitive doubles and won the World Championship with Jonathon Larken in 2016 and again in 2018 before losing it to Tom Billings and Richard Owen in 2021. Recently Stout has played with new partner Peter Cipriano and they were the holders of the US open doubles where they defeated Benjamin Cawston and Mike Bailey 3-1 in New York, losing to the same pair in Detroit in 2023.

Stout began playing professional squash doubles on the Squash Doubles Association tour in 2012, and won the Graham Cup with his partner Greg McArthur and the William White tournament during the 2012-2013 season.

# The Higher Infinite

***The Higher Infinite: Large Cardinals in Set Theory from their Beginnings*** is a monograph in set theory by Akihiro Kanamori, concerning the history and theory of large cardinals, infinite sets characterized by such strong properties that their existence cannot be proven in Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZFC). This book was published in 1994 by Springer-Verlag in their series Perspectives in Mathematical Logic, with a second edition in 2003 in their Springer Monographs in Mathematics series, and a paperback reprint of the second edition in 2009 (ISBN 978-3-540-88866-6).

## Topics

Not counting introductory material and appendices, there are six chapters in *The Higher Infinite*, arranged roughly in chronological order by the history of the development of the subject. The author writes that he chose this ordering "both because it provides the most coherent exposition of the mathematics and because it holds the key to any epistemological concerns".

In the first chapter, "Beginnings", the material includes inaccessible cardinals, Mahlo cardinals, measurable cardinals, compact cardinals and indescribable cardinals. The chapter covers the constructible universe and inner models, elementary embeddings and ultrapowers, and a result of Dana Scott that measurable cardinals are inconsistent with the axiom of constructibility.

The second chapter, "Partition properties", includes the partition calculus of Paul Erdős and Richard Rado, trees and Aronszajn trees, the model-theoretic study of large cardinals, and the existence of the set 0<sup>#</sup> of true formulae about indiscernibles. It also includes Jónsson cardinals and Rowbottom cardinals.

Next are two chapters on "Forcing and sets of reals" and "Aspects of measurability". The main topic of the first of these chapters is forcing, a technique introduced by Paul Cohen for proving consistency and inconsistency results in set theory; it also includes material in descriptive set theory. The second of these chapters covers the application of forcing by Robert M. Solovay to prove the consistency of measurable cardinals, and related results using stronger notions of forcing.

Chapter five is "Strong hypotheses". It includes material on supercompact cardinals and their reflection properties, on huge cardinals, on Vopěnka's principle, on extendible cardinals, on strong cardinals, and on Woodin cardinals. The book concludes with the chapter "Determinacy", involving the axiom of determinacy and the theory of infinite games. Reviewer Frank R. Drake views this chapter, and the proof in it by Donald A. Martin of the Borel determinacy theorem, as central for Kanamori, "a triumph for the theory he presents".

Although quotations expressing the philosophical positions of researchers in this area appear throughout the book, more detailed coverage of issues in the philosophy of mathematics regarding the foundations of mathematics are deferred to an appendix.

## Audience and reception

Reviewer Pierre Matet writes that this book "will no doubt serve for many years to come as the main reference for large cardinals", and reviewers Joel David Hamkins, Azriel Lévy and Philip Welch express similar sentiments. Hamkins writes that the book is "full of historical insight, clear writing, interesting theorems, and elegant proofs". Because this topic uses many of the important tools of set theory more generally, Lévy recommends the book "to anybody who wants to start doing research in set theory", and Welch recommends it to all university libraries.

# Tom Hiariej

**Tom Jan Hiariej** (/ˈtɒm hˈɑːr/; born 25 July 1988) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder or right-back. He is of Moluccan descent.

## Club career

The son of a Moluccan father and a Dutch mother, he made his professional first team debut in 2007 with Eredivisie side FC Groningen under long-time head coach Ron Jans. Hiariej scored his first professional goal on 23 January 2008 in a match against NEC.

During his time at Groningen, Hiariej was sent on loan twice; to Emmen and Cambuur. In May 2017, he moved to Australia to play in Gosford for the Central Coast Mariners. After practicing with the first team for a few weeks, he signed another one-year contract with Emmen in July 2019. He left the club at the expiration of his contract, after losing his starting spot to Hilal Ben Moussa.

## International career

Hiarej is also a Dutch youth international; he played a number of matches for several youth teams. He was also part of the Netherlands under-17 team, who ended up third in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship.

Netherlands under-17 coach, Ruud Kaiser was very impressed by the young defender. Before the youth FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru, Kaiser said about Hiariej: "When Hiariej plays for his club, he plays central defender, but here he plays right-back. He is talented and quick. He also has the qualities to come up in attack; he sees the chances".

Hiariej would also make appearances for the Netherlands under-21 team.
