# Gold of Tolosa

The **Gold of Tolosa** (also the ***aurum Tolosanum***) was a treasure hoard seized by the ancient Roman proconsul Quintus Servilius Caepio from the Volcae town of Tolosa, modern-day Toulouse.

Near-contemporary Cicero briefly mentioned it in his philosophical dialogue *De Natura Deorum*, referencing political scandal in the late Roman Republic with the line "*Consider other judicial inquiries, the one in reference to the gold of Tolosa, and the one on the Jugurthine conspiracy...*" The treasure itself was discussed by several ancient historians, including Strabo and Cassius Dio.

## Greek origins of Gallic treasure

In a fragment from Cassius Dio's work, the historian asserted that the Gold of Tolosa had its origins in the Gallic invasion of Greece under Brennus.

In 280 BC, a great army of Gallic warriors invaded Macedon and central Greece. According to Pausanias, the Gauls were motivated by a desire for plunder. The success of the expedition was rich enough to prompt Brennus, who been one of the leaders of the 280 BC expedition, to persuade the Gallic tribes to launch another invasion. Brennus convinced the Gauls that the relative Greek weakness at the time and the great wealth of the Greek cities and temple sanctuaries were opportunities to be exploited. Strabo relates that the Volcae Tectosages were believed to have been amongst the tribes that joined Brennus in this invasion.

The campaign of 279 BC proved less successful than that of the previous year. While a Greek coalition force of Aetolians, Boeotians, Athenians, Phocians, and other Greeks north of Corinth mustered at the narrow pass of Thermopylae, on the east coast of central Greece, Brennus pushed southward with his warriors. A Greek attempt to delay the Gauls at the Spercheios failed when a Gallic force of ten thousand swam the river and moved to outflank the outnumbered Greeks.

At the Battle of Thermopylae, the Greeks initially managed to check the Gallic advance, inflicting heavy losses on Brennus' army. In an attempt to divide the Greek coalition force and thereby weaken it, Brennus detached approximately forty thousand of his warriors from the main army and dispatched them to Aetolia. This detachment sacked Callia and proceeded to brutally pillage the Aetolian towns and temples. Alarmed at the news, the Aetolian detachment left Thermopylae in order to defend their homeland.

The news from Aetolia undermined Greek morale and prompted the defection of the Heracleots and the Aenianians from the Greek coalition. Eager for the Gauls to leave their territories, the Heracleots and the Aenianians showed Brennus how to bypass the main pass at Thermopylae in order to outflank the Greek force. Brennus once again divided his army, leaving the main force under the command of Acichorius while he himself took a detachment through the same path used by the Persians some two centuries previously, defeating the Phocian attachment charged with guarding it.

Alerted by the Phocians, the Greek coalition force abandoned Thermopylae and were evacuated by the Athenian fleet. Unwilling to wait for Acichorius, Brennus marched his warriors to the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi and according to some sources, despoiled it.

The Greeks eventually succeeded in driving out the Gauls, wounding Brennus and causing his eventual death. At this point, the Gauls splintered. Some of them, including a part of the Tectosages, would cross the Hellespont and settle in Galatia. The rest were thought to have returned to their homelands in southern Gaul, bearing with them the treasures of Greece.

Junianus Justinus, excerpting the work of Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus, claims that those Tectosages who returned to Tolosa suffered "a pestilential distemper" that was not dispelled until after they had thrown their plunder into the lakes.

## Disappearance of the gold

During the latter part of the second century BC, a large coalition of German and Gallic tribes, which eventually included the Cimbri, the Teutones, the Boii, the Tigurini, and the Ambrones, undertook a mass migration. After inflicting several defeats on Rome, a Roman army under the command of the consul Lucius Cassius Longinus in 107 BC confronted the Tigurini near Burdigala, modern-day Bordeaux. The Romans were defeated badly and a number of Gallic tribes, including the Volcae Tectosages, revolted. A second force, under the command of the consul Quintus Servilius Caepio, was dispatched to Gallia Transalpina to restore order in 106 BC.

After subduing Tolosa, Caepio reported the discovery of a massive hoard of treasure. Strabo, citing Poseidonius, said the treasure amounted to some fifteen thousand talents of gold and silver bullion, while Justinus and Orosius reports the haul at 100,000 pounds of gold and 110,000 pounds of silver.

Despite orders to send the treasure to Rome, the gold never reached the city. Orosius recorded that Caepio had sent the treasure under guard to Massilia, a local Roman ally. However, the soldiers guarding the gold were slain, with the treasure itself never found again. Caepio was suspected of having stolen the gold in its entirety.

The theft of the gold was soon overshadowed by Caepio's prominent role in the defeat at the Battle of Arausio in 105 BC, the greatest Roman disaster since Cannae. Now proconsul and unwilling to cooperate with his superior, the *novus homo* consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus, Caepio, eager for glory, provoked a battle with the Cimbri. The end result was a rout, with at least 70,000 Roman legionaries dead, and total losses numbering over 120,000.

While Caepio survived the debacle, his career did not. He was quickly stripped of his proconsular imperium and his seat in the Roman Senate. He was soon brought up on charges by the tribune of the plebs Gaius Norbanus. Charged over the loss of his army, Caepio was stripped of his Roman citizenship, fined 15,000 talents, had his property confiscated, and forbidden fire and water within eight hundred miles of Rome. He died in exile in Smyrna.

## *Aurum habet Tolosanum*

The gold of Tolosa was never found, but was suspected to have remained in the custody of the Servilli Caepiones, who despite the total impoverishment of their patriarch, became immensely wealthy. Despite this, the heirs of Caepio also seemed to suffer from unlucky ends. During the Social War, Caepio's son, also called Quintus Servilius Caepio, was tricked by the Marsic general Quintus Poppaedius Silo and ambushed, which resulted in the destruction of his army and his own death. Caepio's grandson died young from an unnamed illness, while the last heir, Caepio's great-grandson Marcus Junius Brutus, would undertake the assassination of Julius Caesar, an action which eventually led to the rise of Octavian and the Roman Empire, and Brutus' death at the Battle of Philippi.

Perhaps as a consequence of these generational misfortunes, the sources make frequent allusions to the gold being cursed. The earliest, Strabo, says that due to "*having laid hands on \[the gold of Tolosa\]... Caepio ended his life in misfortunes*", while his near-contemporary Pompeius Trogus even suggested that the defeat at Arausio was punishment for the theft of the treasure. A Latin proverb, *Aurum habet Tolosanum* ("He has got the gold of Tolosa"; taken to mean “His ill-gotten wealth will do him no good.”) was even formed as a result.

## Disagreements in the ancient sources

As is common, the ancient sources frequently contradict each other. Cicero is the earliest author whose extant writings mention the Gold of Tolosa, referencing the inquiry into its disappearance in *De Natura Deorum*, which was written in the two years before his death in 43 BC. Cicero does not mention its provenance, but at least establishes that it was believed to exist. A fragment from the history-book written by Cassius Dio between 200 and 222 AD, asserts the hoard's origin as that of treasure looted from Delphi.

Strabo, writing as late as 17 AD, also mentions the account of the treasure's origin as the plunder of Delphi, but prefers Poseidonius's account, now lost. Quoting Poseidonius, Strabo asserts that "the temple at Delphi was in those times already empty of such treasure, because it had been robbed at the time of the sacred war by the Phocians." Poseidonius did not believe that the Tectosages successfully brought away the plunder of Delphi to Tolosa, as they had "suffered wretchedly" during the retreat and gone in different directions. Instead, Poseidonius wrote that the origin of the hoard was in Gaul itself, "since the country was rich in gold, and also belonged to people who were god-fearing and not extravagant in their ways of living, it came to have treasures..."

The only extant sources to mention the Gallic attack on Delphi are the second-century AD travelogue of Pausanias and the history of Justinus, the latter of which excerpts the first century BC works of Pompeius Trogus. Pausanias states that the Gauls did not sack the temple sanctuary and that none of the Gauls survived the retreat, while Justinus's summary states that the attack was a disaster and resulted in the fragmentation of the Gallic force, with some settling in Anatolia, others in Thrace, and a third contingent that returned to Tolosa.

While Strabo argued that the Temple of Apollo at Delphi lacked the treasure to be plundered as the Phocians had already taken it in during the Third Sacred War (356–346 BC), Philip of Macedon's settlement of that conflict had included the stipulation that the Phocians repay what they had plundered from the temple of Delphi at the rate of 60 talents a year. Excluding Phocian reparations, Pausanias' account describes a number of expensive artistic votive offerings made to the sanctuary from all over the ancient Greek world in the years preceding the invasion.

# The Fontenay

**The Fontenay** is a luxury hotel in Hamburg, Germany. The hotel is part of the consortium The Leading Hotels of the World.

## Hotel

Builder and owner is Klaus-Michael Kühne. The building is located in Hamburg-Rotherbaum on the road *Fontenay* on the southwestern shores of Außenalster and offers 131 guest rooms and suites, some with Alster view. The organic architecture was designed by the architect Jan Störmer. The lobby, called *Atrium Lounge*, has a room height of 27 meters.

For the lobby William Brand of the atelier Brand van Egmond was commissionend to create the light installation, with a height of 6 meters.

## History

The hotel is named after the shipbroker John Fontenay, who acquired a large plot of land in front of the Dammtor at the Aussenalster in 1816, through which today the street Fontenay runs. The building stands on the site of the former InterContinental hotel, also called *InterConti*. It had to close in February 2013 due to bankruptcy. In March 2013 it was announced that Klaus-Michael Kühne had acquired the hotel for around 20 million euros, who demolished it in February 2014.

The cornerstone ceremony for The Fontenay Hamburg took place on 14 August 2014. Originally the hotel opening was planned for the summer of 2016. In November 2015, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated and announced that there were delays. Due to a water damage in the summer of 2017, the appointment was again postponed several times. The Fontenay was officially opened on 19 March 2018.

# Quest for Camelot Nights

***Quest for Camelot Nights*** was a stage show performed on Switlik Lake at Six Flags Great Adventure from May 9, 1998 through 2001. The show told the story of the 1998 Warner Bros. animated film *Quest for Camelot*, featuring music and lyrics by Patrick Doyle as well as fireworks, lasers, and water projections.

## Development and history

Warner Bros. began developing live productions based on Quest for Camelot in 1996 while the film was still in production, the first of which was Quest for Camelot Nights.

For Quest for Camelot Nights to occupy the same space as the Lethal Weapon: Water Stunt Spectacular! on Switlik Lake, Lethal Weapon's boat and garage were modified and made double-sided so that they could be reversed every night in under an hour. At night, The boat became Merlin's castle, and the garage became a platform. A floating iceberg was also re-used from a previous show and re-painted to look like a rock jutting out of the water, which was hidden behind the boat during the day.

The show premiered at the start of the 1998 season, and was originally only intended to run through Labor Day, but its popularity ended up making Six Flags have it return for three more seasons, with the show's final performance happening in 2001.

## Cancelled tour

Other than Quest for Camelot Nights, Warner Bros. was also planning a touring live production to coincide with the release of *Quest for Camelot*. The tour was supposed to debut at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 1998, and then travel to different renaissance fairs throughout the United States. The project was cancelled soon after the film underperformed at the box office. *Quest for Camelot* only made back $38 million of its $40 million budget, making it a box office bomb.

# Friedrich von Hassel

**Friedrich Julius von Hassel** (11 October 1833 – 14 October 1890) was a Lieutenant general in the Prussian army. He spent most of his life as **Friedrich Julius Hassel**, but was raised to the Nobility by the emperor in 1887. His grandson, Kai-Uwe von Hassel, served as the West German Minister of Defence between 1963 and 1966.

## Provenance

Friedrich Julius Hassel was born in Hamm, a flourishing town in the western part of Prussia, with strong mining and manufacturing sectors. Friedrich Julius was the son of the lawyer Heinrich Wilhelm Hassel and his wife, Marianne Friederike (born Marianne Friederike von Rappard). Heinrich Wilhelm Hassel was a senior legal official *(Geheimer Justizrat)* at the Hamm District Court.

## Military career

Hassel attended the Secondary school in Hamm (*"Gymnasium Hammonense"*), passing his school final exams in 1853. In October of that same year he joined the Second Battalion of the "Prince Frederick of the Netherlands" (2nd Westphalian) Infantry regiment of the Prussian army as a musketeer. The battalion was based at this time at Wesel, a garrison town near the western edge of Prussia's Rhine Province. In 1855 he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. A few years later, reflecting a favourable performance evaluation, he was given command of the Prussian Military Academy between 1858 and 1861. Further commands took him successively to Halberstadt and Erfurt following which he was promoted to the rank of Oberleutnant and transferred to the Fusilier Battalion of the 15th Infantry Regiment in Bielefeld in the middle of January 1863. The regiment took part in the Second Schleswig War against Denmark in 1864, during which Hassel distinguished himself on 17 April 1864: together with a Captain von Hoffmüller he managed to get his unit across the Alssund, render Danish canon on the Island of Als inoperable, and return with equipment and munitions undamaged. The next day he was decorated for this exploit with the Order of the Red Eagle (with military swords). The heroic deed was later recalled by the inclusion of the image of a boat when the family received a coat of arms in 1887.

In the Austro-Prussian War Hassel took part, as a member of the Elbe Army in the Battles of Hühnerwasser and the Münchengrätz. On 28 July 1866 he became a Captain and was decorated with the Order of the Crown. In March 1870, now a Company commander, Hasel was transferred again, this time to the 35th Brandenburg Fusilier regiment. With the mobilisation that year against France, he joined the General Staff of the 16th Division. In this position he participated in the Battles of Spicheren, Mars-la-Tour, Gravelotte, Amiens, Hallue and St. Quentin. He also took part in the successful Siege of Metz. Hassel was promoted again on 22 December 1870, now becoming a Major, and awarded the Iron Cross. After the war was formally concluded by the Treaty of Frankfurt (1871), he was transferred to the General Staff of the 8th Army Corps.

In February 1877, now an Oberstleutnant, he was sent to Königsberg as a representative of the Chief of the General Staff of the 1st Army Corps. However, serious illness forced his removal from the General Staff in October 1878. On his recovery he was given an à la suite General Staff appointment and given a teaching post at the Military Academy. In 1881 Hassel was made Chief of Department 1 of the Army General Staff and promoted to the rank of colonel. His department focused on strategic intelligence regarding the Russian army.

He returned to field service on 23 September 1883 as commander of the Magdeburg 36th "Count Blumenthal" Regiment, and was then on 25 April 1885 ordered to represent the Chief of the General Staff of the 4th Army Corps. On 24 June 1885, now with the rank and remuneration of a Brigade Commander, Friedrich Hassel was appointed Chief of this General Staff, and on 4 December 1885 he became a Major general.

On 22 March 1887 Friedrich Hassel was ennobled by the emperor, in recognition of his long service. One result was that his family name changed from "Hassel" to "von Hassel". Between 16 May 1888 and 21 March 1889 he commanded the 15th Infantry Brigade, based in Erfurt. After that, promoted again, now to the rank of Lieutenant General, he was given command of the 6th Division, based in Brandenburg an der Havel. However, he was pensioned out of the army, with the usual ceremony, on 12 August 1890 due to illness. Two months later he died at a sanatorium in the Harz mountain region.

## Personal

Friedrich Hassel married Elise Helene Christiane Thormann (1846–1896) on 11 November 1866 at Rendsburg. The marriage produced three recorded children as follows:

# Friedrich von Hagedorn

**Friedrich von Hagedorn** (23 April 1708 – 28 October 1754) was a German Rococo poet. He was born in Hamburg, where his father, a man of scientific and literary taste, was the Danish ambassador. His younger brother, Christian Ludwig, was a well known art historian and collector.

## Biography

### Life

He was educated at the *Gymnasium* of Hamburg and in 1726 became a student of law at the University of Jena. Returning to Hamburg in 1729, he obtained the appointment of unpaid private secretary to the Danish ambassador in London, where he lived until 1731. Hagedorn's return to Hamburg was followed by a period of great poverty and hardship but, in 1733, he was appointed secretary to the so-called "English Court" (*Englischer Hof*) in Hamburg, a trading company founded in the 13th century. He shortly afterwards married, and from this time had sufficient leisure to pursue his literary occupations until his death.

### Career

The first collection of Hagedorn's poems was published at Hamburg shortly after his return from Jena in 1729, under the title *Versuch einiger Gedichte* (reprinted by A. Sauer, Heilbronn, 1883). *Versuch in poetischen Fabeln und Erzählungen* appeared in 1738 a collection of his lyric poems, under the title *Sammlung neuer Oden und Lieder* in 1742 and his *Moralische Gedichte* in 1750. A collection of his entire works was published at Hamburg in 1757 after his death. The best is J.J. Eschenburg's edition (5 vols., Hamburg, 1800). Selections of his poetry with an excellent introduction appear in F. Muncker's *Anakreontiker und preussisch-patriotische Lyriker* (Stuttgart, 1894).

Mozart set his poem *Die Alte* (*The Old Woman*) to music in his song of the same name (K. 517) in 1787. Joseph Haydn used two of his poems in his canons (*a capella* songs) (Hob. XXVIIb).

# Friends (Easybeats album)

***Friends*** is the sixth and final studio album by Australian rock band the Easybeats. It was released in early 1970 as part of the group's new recording contract with Polydor Records. It would be the only album Polydor released of the band as they broke up before its release.

## History & Production

In 1969, the group parted ways with their production company Albert Productions and their international record company United Artists Records. After signing with Polydor Records, the Easybeats teamed up with producer Ray Singer for the single "St. Louis" and its B-side "I Can't Find Love". The single failed to chart in the UK, but reached #21 on the Go-Set Charts in their home country of Australia.

In August the band's key songwriters, Harry Vanda and George Young, took over a small recording studio located in an apartment in Moscow Road, London. The studio was previously used for recording jingles for pirate radio. The pair used the studios to record various demos for other artists, sometimes using other members of the Easybeats to contribute instrumentation and vocals. These demo recordings, along with the two songs recorded with Ray Singer were released by Polydor as *Friends* in the UK and Australia.

## Release

The album was originally advertised in the Australian music magazine, Go-Set during the group's 1969 Australian tour as a yet untitled upcoming release from Polydor Records. However, the band disbanded at the end of the tour. In February 1970 the album was listed on the new release schedule as being the group's final album.

Between Australia and the UK there are two different versions of the song "Friends". On the Australian LP, the song is a faster-paced version sung by George Young (titled "Friends") while in the U.K. it is a slower ballad sung by Harry Vanda titled "Who Are My Friends". Vanda's "Who Are My Friends" was released as a single in the UK and Australia (under the same title as George's "Friends"). The album was released in Europe and Canada as *Holding On* and was due for U.S. release under the title *Easy Ridin'* through Rare Earth Records. This release would be canceled.

It was reissued on vinyl in 1980 in Australia as part of the *Rock Legends* series. Repertoire Records released the album on compact disc twice (1992 and 2006). The band's Australian record company, Albert Productions, left the album out of their *The Complete Easybeats* box set.

## Reception

In a contemporary review *The Sun Herald'*s Gil Wahlquist noted the "commercial English sound" of the album and that "everything is energy and vocal power from the opening "St. Louis" through to "Woman, You're On My Mind"". In an article in *Go-Set*, singer Stevie Wright noted the band were disappointed in the Ray Singer's production of the lead single St. Louis, saying "It ended up nothing like we envisaged it" and that they wanted it more "funky with lots of ad-libs".

Retrospective reviews have been less kind to the album. Pointing out the short comings of the demo recordings. AllMusic's Ritchie Unterberger noted that " The least successful songs are the forced rock & roll boogies, with overwrought vocals from lead singer Stevie Wright. The more pensive tracks, like the title tune, have an oddly compelling, hollow feel of resignation bordering on gloom that starkly contrasts with their more well-known mid-'60s material."

# Tim Ward (musician)

**Timothy Christopher Ward** is an American musician best known as the bassist and co-lead vocalist for the Mukilteo, Washington based prog-rock band The Fall of Troy and as a singer and guitarist for the band Trash Kids.

## Early life and career

Ward attended Kamiak High School and graduated in 2003. He met his bandmates Andrew Forsman and Thomas Erak while there, and they began a band called The 30 Years War with another member, Mike Munro. The 30 Years War independently released two EPs. In late high school Munro left the band, and the trio decided to continue their music, calling their new group The Fall of Troy.

## The Fall of Troy

In May 2003, just before their high school graduation, The Fall of Troy entered the studio to record their first full-length album, which was released on Lujo Records and Equal Vision Records. He chipped a tooth during a stage diving incident in Detroit.

However, he was not mentioned in the liner notes for The Fall of Troy's record, *In the Unlikely Event*.

### 2013 return

In 2010, The Fall of Troy announced a hiatus. When they returned in 2013, Ward rejoined his once former bandmates, and his replacement Frank Ene was no longer with the band.

**Friedrich Gustav Piffl** (15 October 1864 – 21 April 1932) was a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and Archbishop of Vienna.

## Early life and education

Gustav Piffl was born in Lanškroun, Bohemia, in what was then the Austrian Empire. His father, Rudolf Piffl, was a bookseller and shopkeeper. He volunteered for a year in the Austrian army as a young man. After deciding to become a priest he enrolled in the Teutonic College of Santa Maria in Camposanto in Rome and later became an Augustinian canon at the Abbey of Klosterneuburg, Austria, in 1883. His name in religion was **Friedrich**. He finished his theological studies at the University of Vienna.

## Priesthood

He was ordained on 8 January 1888 and served afterwards as a priest in various parishes of the Archdiocese of Vienna. He was the pastor of Klosterneuburg's abbey church until 1913 and led the community as its provost from 1907 to 1913.

## Episcopate

Pope Pius X appointed him Archbishop of Vienna on 2 May 1913. He was consecrated on 1 June 1913. Pope Pius raised him to the cardinalate, creating him Cardinal-Priest of *S. Marco* on 25 May 1914. He participated in the conclaves of 1914 that elected Pope Benedict XV and 1922 that elected Pope Pius XI. Piffl presided at the funeral of Austria's Emperor Franz Josef.

Piffl visited the United States in 1926, giving the opening address (in German) at Chicago's Eucharistic Congress.

He was not born an aristocrat (his father was a book-binder), but received the title of prince-archbishop of Vienna, holding office at the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918. When he died in 1932 in Vienna at the age of 67, he was the last to hold the title.

# Timberlea, Nova Scotia

**Timberlea** is a community located within the Municipality of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada.

class=notpageimage|Timberlea in Nova Scotia

## History

The community was first known as Nine Mile River after the river in the centre of the community which fed several early mills. In the mid-19th century, the St. Margaret's Bay Road was routed through the community. Several hotels were established to cater to travelers and later sportspeople and the Nine Mile River was crossed by an arched stone bridge, which survived until 2014 as one of the only surviving stone bridges in Nova Scotia.

After the arrival of the Halifax and Southwestern Railway in 1904, the community was referred to as Bowser's Station; after Angus Bowser. Angus Bowser ran a hotel near the area's train station near present-day Greenwood Heights.

In 1922, the community was renamed Timberlea to reflect the importance of the forest and lumbering. Aubrey Fraser was an early settler in the area, and he, his father and brothers stationed a saw mill along the Nine Mile River. Almost a decade following the Halifax Explosion, the Bowser's Hotel was sold to Mr. and Mrs. William Miller. It had been a frequent stop for people traveling along the St. Margaret's Bay Road, between the former City of Halifax and Yarmouth. On the night of 12 December 1947, the hotel was leveled in a fire.

Until the early 1990s, the community was a semi-rural, fairly close-knit community. Subsequently, several large developments such as Greenwood Heights have substantially increased the population, and it is now mostly a suburban community.

On 1 April 1996, Halifax County was dissolved and all of its places (cities, suburbs, towns, and villages) were turned into communities of a single-tier municipality named *Halifax Regional Municipality*. Subsequently, Timberlea was turned into a community within the new Municipality of Halifax.

In 2013, Iain Rankin of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party was elected as the member of the Legislative Assembly for Timberlea-Prospect. Iain won the seat in the 2013, 2017, and 2021 provincial elections.

Since 2020, Councillor Iona Stoddard has represented Halifax Municipal District 12, which includes the community of Timberlea.

## Geography

The community of Timberlea corresponds to Census Tract 2050142.01, and covers approximately 672 hectares (6.72 km2) of land area. From 2016 to 2021, Timberlea's landmass increased by approximately 3 ha (7.4 acres).

Geographically, Timberlea is located approximately 15.2 km (9.4 mi) from Downtown Halifax, and it is bounded by Hubley to the west-northwest, and Lakeside to the east-southeast.

Politically, Timberlea is a part of the Halifax Municipal District 12, and the Provincial Electoral District of Timberlea-Prospect.

Topographically, Timberlea is fairly flat on the northern side of the St. Margaret's Bay Road and the topography rises on the southern side to Highway 103. The community is situated mostly within the watershed of Nine Mile River, which empties into Shad Bay, near Peggy's Cove on the St. Margaret's Bay. The western portion of Governor's Lake, and all of Fraser's Lake are with the community. The flora is predominantly softwood and mixed Boreal Forest, and the bedrock is granite throughout, with many outcrops including several areas of barrens which offer good blueberry and huckleberry picking.

## Demographics

According to the 2021 Census Tract Map jointly released by the Government of the Municipality of Halifax—and—Statistics Canada, the population of the community of Timberlea was 5,627 people.

An increase of 130 people (approximately 2.4%) from the 2016 population of 5,497 people, the community's population density increased from 821 people per km2 to 838 people per km2. Compared to the municipal average of approximately 80 people per km2, Timberlea is over 10 times as dense as the average municipal population density.

## Parks, trails, and recreation

The Beechville Lakeville Timberlea (BLT) Rails to Trails Association (see link below) has turned its 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) of the old Halifax and Southwestern Railway bed from Beechville to Hubley into a ATV/cycling/hiking rail trail which connects with a similar 32 kilometres (20 mi) stretch maintained by the similar St. Margaret's Bay organization.

The Bluff Trail, a 30 kilometres (19 mi) network of non-motorized wilderness trails, branches off the BLT Trail at Cranberry Lake. Swimming is available at Governor's Lake.

The community has good outdoor recreational facilities and opportunities. Greenwood Heights has a baseball diamond, basketball and tennis courts. At the Beechville Lakeside Timberlea Junior Elementary School there are several basketball nets and a well-build playground. At the Lakeside Community Centre there are a skateboard facility and tennis courts.

## Amenities

Timberlea is home to Beechville Lakeside Timberlea Elementary School which serves those three communities. The school is located between the Greenwood Heights and Glengarry Estates subdivisions.

In early 2018 it was announced Sobeys would open a new store at Exit 3 along Highway 103 to service Timberlea. In winter of 2019, the store opened—which raised the issue of the lack of public transit service to the store.

## Contemporary issues

There is discussion over preserving a substantially large area of crown land for a park near the lakes. Tentative plans are being discussed over the prospect of a community library, and construction and restoration of a "Fraser's Mill Museum", commemorating the saw mill at the source of Nine Mile River, which was once owned by the Fraser family. Loss of wilderness area and increasing suburban burdens have also fed opposition to Highway 113, a proposed highway connector from Timberlea. Currently, Timberlea can be considered a "bedroom community", since there are a very limited number of business and services in the immediate area.

## Newspaper

The *BLT Insider* monthly newspaper serves Beechville, Lakeside, Timberlea and surrounding communities. Combining local features, news, and sports that support the region's reliable local advertising source.

# Meconopsis lancifolia

***Meconopsis lancifolia*** is a plant species in the genus *Meconopsis*, in the family Papaveraceae. *M. lancifolia* is monocarpic, meaning that it flowers only once before dying.

## Description

**Height:** Though often only 8–20 cm high at maturity, some plants may reach 35 cm while flowering, and up to 42 cm tall while fruiting.

**Stems:** Erect stem 3.7–25 cm long, 5–13 mm in diameter near the base. Ascending to patent-reflexed, tawny-coloured, soft bristles typically cover the stems, sometimes densely, though occasionally stems may be more or less glabrous.

**Leaves:** Entire to slightly sinuate or pinnately lobed leaves are borne in a basal rosette, are green or greyish-green above and are a paler, somewhat glaucous colour beneath, and measure between 2–16- 25 cm in length, and 0.5-2.2 cm in width, tapering gradually at the base. Leaves are sparsely bristly or have a variable number of bristles; bristles are not dark at the base. Lamina are elliptic-lanceolate to elliptic-oblanceolate, narrow-oblanceolate, or more rarely linear-lanceolate. Petioles are 1.5–9 cm in length.

**Flowers:** 2.6–8.2 cm across, with 4– 8– 11 satiny deep-blue to violet, to indigo-purple, more rarely pinkish, or very rarely light blue petals. Petals measure 13–32 mm x 10–32 mm. Flowers June–early August.

Flowers are typically significantly darker than those of *Meconopsis grandis* or *Meconopsis horridula*.

**Fruit:** oblong-ellipsoid to subcylindric green capsules with purple ribs ripening to brown.

## Cultivation

*Meconopsis lancifolia* does not appear to have ever been in cultivation, or is rare in cultivation despite substantial efforts by Forrest. Taylor considered that the generally weak characteristics of the bulbous root implied that it was a difficult plant. However, as it is so widespread, it is genetically quite variable, and so perhaps some forms are more adaptable than others. The standard well-fed, winter dry, summer wet may require some modification for success, with less emphasis on the summer wet.

## Habitat

In the wild, it is particularly associated with limestone habitats, including stony alpine meadows, rocky slopes, screes, moraines, stony and rocky pastures, open low moorland scrub, and alpine moorland. Prefers less sunny exposures.

## Distribution

Widespread across China, specifically in western China, from southwest Gansu to northwest Yunnan, east and southeast Tibet, western Sichuan; the Cangshan, Yulongxueshan, and the mountains of the Mekong-Salween and Mekong-Yangtze divides.

Also native to north Myanmar.

## Etymology

*Meconopsis* is derived from the Greek for 'poppy-like' (μήκον *mēkon*, ‘poppy’; ὄψις *ópsis*, ‘aspect’), while *lancifolia* is from the Latin for 'with sharply pointed leaves' (lancea ‘poppy’; folia ‘leaves’).

# Media in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is home to the first commercial radio station in the United States, KDKA 1020AM, the first community-sponsored television station in the United States, WQED 13, the first "networked" television station and the first station in the country to broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, KDKA 2, and the first newspaper published west of the Allegheny Mountains, the *Pittsburgh Post-Gazette*.

## History

Until 2016, Pittsburgh was one of the few mid-sized metropolitan areas in the U.S. with two major daily papers; both the *Pittsburgh Post-Gazette* and the *Pittsburgh Tribune-Review* have histories of breaking in-depth investigative news stories on a national scale. In 2016, the Tribune-Review moved to an all-digital format.

The Post-Gazette moved to publishing five print editions a week in 2018, three print editions a week in 2019, and two print editions a week in 2021.

The alternative papers in the region include the *Pittsburgh City Paper*, the *Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle*, *The New People*, which is published weekly by the Thomas Merton Center for Peace and Social Justice, the *New Pittsburgh Courier*, which is one of the larger ethnic publications in the region, and Zajedničar, the only Croatian-language newspaper that is currently published in the United States.

*The Pitt News*, a financially independent, student-produced newspaper of the University of Pittsburgh, has operated for roughly a century. The University of Pittsburgh School of Law also hosts JURIST, the world's only university-based legal news service.

## Radio

Pittsburgh radio has long been dominated by KDKA 1020 AM. However, as of early 2006 the station is no longer No. 1 in the ratings. KQV 1410 AM, now an all-news outlet, was Pittsburgh's dominant Top 40 station throughout the 1960s. On the FM dial, album-rock WDVE (102.5 DVE), modern rock WXDX (105.9 The X), adult contemporary WBZZ (Star 100.7), pop and hip-hop WKST-FM (96.1 KissFM) and Pittsburgh Sports Talk on (93.7 The Fan) KDKA-FM FM talk radio is available in the Pittsburgh market at WPGB (104.7 FM NewsTalk). Pittsburgh is also home to three public radio stations: WESA, the local NPR station; WQED-FM, a listener-supported commercial-free classical music station; and WYEP 91.3FM, the nation's third-largest independent "adult album alternative" (AAA) station, which hosts the locally produced environmental radio show *The Allegheny Front* and also carries some NPR programming. The Radio Information Service, broadcasting on a subcarrier of WESA provides special programming for the blind and print impaired. Additionally, Pittsburgh hosts the non-commercial radio stations WRCT (affiliated with Carnegie Mellon University) and WPTS (affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh).

## DMA

In 2010, Nielsen will continue to rank Pittsburgh as the 23rd largest television Designated Market Area (DMA) in the country, with 1,154,950 households. That is a drop from Nielsen's 2009 estimate of 1,156,460. Despite the decline in households, Pittsburgh still has 22,090 more households than the next closest television DMA which is Charlotte, NC.

In 2004 Pittsburgh was the 24th largest DMA in the U.S. as ranked by population, with a population of 2,881,200. Pittsburgh's DMA covers a land area of 10,083 square miles (26,110 km2) in three states.

Other definitions of the "Pittsburgh region" extend into Ohio border counties with some sources including several Ohio counties and as far south & west as the Kentucky border and north into the extreme southwest of New York State.

The Pittsburgh DMA includes the following counties:

title: GATA6

abstract: Transcription factor GATA-6, also known as GATA-binding factor 6 (GATA6), is protein that in humans is encoded by the GATA6 gene. The gene product preferentially binds (A/T/C)GAT(A/T)(A) of the consensus binding sequence.

text:
# GATA6

**Transcription factor GATA-6**, also known as **GATA-binding factor 6** (GATA6), is protein that in humans is encoded by the *GATA6* gene. The gene product preferentially binds (A/T/C)GAT(A/T)(A) of the consensus binding sequence.

## Clinical significance

Mutations in the gene have been linked with pancreatic agenesis and congenital heart defects.

### Lung Endodermal Epithelial Development

GATA-6, a zinc finger transcription factor, is important in the endodermal differentiation of organ tissues. It is also indicated in proper lung development by controlling the late differentiation stages of alveolar epithelium and aquaporin-5 promoter activation. Furthermore, GATA-6 has been linked to the production of LIF, a cytokine that encourages proliferation of endodermal embryonic stem cells and blocks early epiblast differentiation. If left unregulated in the developing embryo, this cytokine production and chemical signal contributes to the phenotypes discussed further below.

Upon the disruption of GATA-6 in an embryo, the distal lung epithelial development is stunted in transgenic mice models The progenitor cells, or stem cells, for alveolar epithelial tissues develop and are specified appropriately, however further differentiation does not occur. Also the distal-proximal bronchiole development is affected, resulting in a reduced quantity of airway exchange sites.

This branching deficit, which will cause bilateral pulmonary hypoplasia after birth, has been locally associated with areas lacking differentiated alveolar epithelium, implicating this phenotype as inherent to endodermal function, and thus may be indirectly linked to improper GATA-6 expression. That is, a deficit of bronchiole branching may not be a result of direct transcriptional error in GATA-6, but rather a side effect of such an error.

## Features

### Grand Temple

The Grand Temple is for the worship of Taishang Laojun (太上老君), Lü Dongbin (呂洞賓) and Qiu Chuji (丘處機). The middle one is Laojun. Laojun is one of the three highest deities of Daoism. According to Daoist classics, Laojun manifested himself in the form of Laozi, the Great philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Daodejing (道德經). Lü Dongbin is one of the Five Patriarchs (五祖) in the Quenzhen School. He is one of the earliest masters of the tradition of Internal alchemy (內丹). Qiu Chuji was a great disciple of Wang Chongyang (王重陽), the founder of Quanzhen School. He was also referred to as the founder of Longmen Sect.

### Guanyin Temple

The Guanyin Temple was established to worship Guanyin (觀音大士). Guanyin is deity of mercy and compassion.

### Yuen San Temple

The Yuen San Temple was established to worship Doumu (斗姆) and the sixty Great Generals of the Chinese sexagesimal cycle (六十太歲大將軍). Doumu is the mother of deities of the stars of the Northern Dipper (北斗). She is referred to as a deity of medicine, healing, fertility and nurture. The Chinese sexagesimal cycle corresponding to a person’s year of birth are considered to denote his or her fundamental destiny. The sixty Great Generals alternately govern and act as the patron deities.

### The Colorful Sculpture of "Yellow Emperor Inquires After the Tao"

This painting depicts the Yellow Emperor's visit to the hermit Guangchengzi (廣成子) of Mt. Kongdong (崆峒山), who discovered the secrets of immortality and the Dao. The scene demonstrates that the legendary first emperor of China set the precedent for seeking advice from wise Daoist hermits.

### The Carving of "The Scroll of Eighty-Seven Immortals"

The scroll depicts 87 immortals paying homage to the supreme deity. The picture is considered as a representative of China's best achievement in line drawing techniques of classical portraits. Xu Beihong (徐悲鴻, 1895-1953) attributed it to a 7th century painter Wu Daozi (吳道子) and even stamped a seal on it reading "Beihong's Life". The scroll is now in the collection of the Xu Beihong Memorial Museum.

### Vegetarian canteen

The vegetarian canteen provides vegetarian food for tourists, disciples and the public. Most of the food is also vegan. On walking up the main stairs the General Office is on the left. Diagonally behind the office is a Yin and Yang carving. The restaurant is signposted in the corner past the Yin and Yang carving.

## Notable Projects

### Tai Ping Kindergarten

Tai Ping Kindergarten was established in October 1989 to promote positive children education.

### Taoist Orchestra

Fung Ying Seen Koon has set up the Taoist musical orchestra in July 1996, with the purpose to promote Taoist culture through traditional music.

### Taoist TV Channel

The first 24 hours Taoist television channel was established by Fung Ying Seen Koon in 2004, the channel is also available online in 2006.

# Tiny Masters of Today

**Tiny Masters of Today** are an American indie punk rock band, consisting of siblings Ivan (born February 21, 1994) and Ada Wolin (born March 4, 1996) and their friend Jackson Pollis. All members are from Brooklyn, New York.

## History

### The early years

The adolescent punk group came to international attention after putting some of their homemade recordings on a Myspace page in the spring of 2005. Before they had even performed their first live show, they were featured in *Newsweek*, who called their "brief, bratty" songs "remarkable".

Shortly thereafter, British independent label Tigertrap Records, compiled three songs from the home recordings as the EP *Big Noise*. The entire pressing sold out almost immediately and influential UK music tastemakers Artrocker Magazine featured them on the cover proclaiming them "the future of rock and roll." Influential rocker David Bowie praised the band in several media outlets, declaring their first single "Genius." A second home-recorded EP *K.I.D.S.* was released in December 2006 and also sold out immediately.

The earliest incarnation featured Ivan and Ada accompanied by a laptop computer. Russell Simins, drummer for the Blues Explosion, contacted the band after hearing their demos and began a lengthy stint as their live drummer. The trio played nearly 60 shows together, including tours of the UK and Europe. Simins also co-produced (with Phil Hernandez and Chris Maxwell aka The Elegant Too) the band's first full-length album, *Bang Bang Boom Cake* (2007).

### Bang Bang Boom Cake

The critical response to their first singles led to significant label interest in the band although the band remained unsigned during the recording of *Bang Bang Boom Cake*. Upon completion, the album was licensed to Great Society/World's Fair for North America and Mute Records for the rest of the world.

The album featured thirteen songs and included writing collaborations with Kimya Dawson and Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Guest performers included Karen O and Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Kimya Dawson (Moldy Peaches), Russell Simins (Blues Explosion), Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), Fred Schneider (The B-52's) and turntablist DJ Atsushi Numata. In a video interview by VidoCity, Ivan mentioned that Blues Explosion drummer Russell Simins showed interest in working with the band on their debut album. In a mix-up, a photo of Def Jam pioneer Russell Simmons splashed onto the screen instead. The band appeared with Simins on the Public Radio International program *Fair Game* in December 2006, performing the songs "Stickin' It to the Man" and "Tooty Frooty". Simins went on to tour with the band in 2007 but was replaced by Jackson Pollis in 2008.

On March 31, 2009, Tiny Masters announced the April release of their single "Skeletons" in the UK and US, supported by a ten-concert ten-day tour of Europe and England and an already widely seen video. A new album was announced for June.

## Sound

Their songs usually feature a simple structure and repetitive lyrics and are frequently less than two minutes long. Some of the songs consist solely of a single chord. They also make ample use of technology, incorporating loops and samples and programmed drums into many of their songs. Much of their recording is done using a home computer with GarageBand.

Many critics have compared them to punk forefathers The Ramones and The Stooges. Their music has also been described as simple, repetitive, shallow and unengaging.

Before playing professional football, Maxwell played at the college level while attending the University of Chicago. He played for the Maroons in 1902, under coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, who recruited Maxwell for his size and style of play. Maxwell weighed 240 pounds, in an era when the average offensive lineman weighed under 200 pounds. Maxwell's struggle with a speech impediment made his physical presence less intimidating and in fact increased his popularity. He played guard for the Maroons in 1902 and 1903. He also competed for the school as a boxer and in track and field, later set the school's record in the hammer throw. On July 4, 1904, Maxwell set the school's shot put record, when he recorded a 42'9" throw.

In the fall of 1904, Maxwell transferred to Swarthmore College. There he prompted the interest of the school's president, who personally encouraged him to improve his studies and even directed the college treasurer to send his tuition bills to a member of the Swarthmore College Board of Managers. It was around this time that he was given the nickname "Tiny". According to Amos Stagg, Maxwell was called "Fatty" while attending the University of Chicago. During his two years at Swarthmore, the school's football team went 6–3 in 1904 and 7–1 in 1905, losing only to Penn.

#### The bloodied face photo

In 1905, 18 players died playing college football and 159 were seriously injured. During an October 7, 1905 game between Swarthmore College and Penn, played at Franklin Field, Maxwell's nose was broken, his eyes were swollen nearly shut and his face dripped with blood. However Maxwell reportedly continue to play until near the end of the game, when his face was so bloody and swollen that he could no longer see, yet he never complained of the physical beating. Because of his size, Penn had three linemen block Maxwell. Swarthmore lost the game to Penn 11–4.

According to legend, a newspaper photo was taken of his face. The photo then found its way to President Theodore Roosevelt. The photograph of Maxwell's face shocked and enraged the President into threatening to abolish football, if the colleges themselves did not take steps to eliminate the brutality and reduce injuries.

> "Swarthmore College stands for clean manly sport, shorn of all unnecessary roughness. President Roosevelt should have and I believe will have, the cordial support of the colleges and universities of the country... Let dangerous plays and ungentlemanly players be eliminated or let the game be eliminated from college life. Let college authorities see that only gentlemen are permitted to coach the teams and act as officials at the game. Football properly played and controlled is a good college recreation and sport, and it should be saved from its enemies. Swarthmore College will cooperate with others to secure clean college athletics."

Joseph Swain, *Swarthmore College President* on President's Roosevelt's request

##### Fact vs. fiction

Several writers and scholars have made exhaustive searches for the photo of Maxwell's battered face, but none has ever been found. Though the events surrounding the Roosevelt-Maxwell story supposedly occurred in 1905, the story didn't appear until it was mentioned in the second edition of Frank G. Menke's *Encyclopedia of Sports* published in 1944, 22 years after Maxwell's death. The 1960s and 1970s update of the *Encyclopedia* also continued to run the Maxwell-Roosevelt story. The Maxwell Football Club, formed by sportswriters and athletic officials to honor Maxwell, picked up the story and made it more credible. As a result, it became the official account of 1905 and was enshrined in Jack Falla's history of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and is mentioned at the College Football Hall of Fame.

What is absolutely certain is that on October 9, 1905, Teddy Roosevelt held a meeting of football representatives from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Though he lectured the group on eliminating and reducing injuries, he never threatened to ban football or mentioned the Maxwell injury. He also lacked the authority to abolish football and was in fact, a fan of the game. The President's sons were playing football at the college and secondary levels at the time.

By December, sixty-two colleges agreed on a set of innovations that significantly changed the game of football. Yardage for a first down was changed from five to 10 yards; a neutral zone was established between opposing lines, and the time of the game was reduced from 70 to 60 minutes. The year also saw the legalization of the forward pass.

#### All-American honors

At the end of 1905 season two Swarthmore players were selected on Walter Camp's All-American team. One was their quarterback Wilmer Crowell, and the other was Maxwell. However Bob left Swarthmore in 1906 without receiving his degree.

### Pro football

In the fall of 1906 Maxwell played professional football for the Massillon Tigers, later moving to the Canton Bulldogs of the *Ohio League* He then played for the Pittsburgh Lyceums after pro football disappeared from Ohio after the 1906 season. During this time, Maxwell insisted on wearing his Swarthmore jersey with its big "S" in all team pictures during his pro career.

#### 1906 Canton-Massillon Scandal

In 1906 Maxwell was a figure in a betting scandal between the Massillon Tigers and the Canton Bulldogs. The Canton Bulldogs-Massillon Tigers Betting Scandal was the first major scandal in professional football. It was the first known case of professional gamblers attempting to fix a professional sport. A Massillon newspaper alleged that Bulldogs coach Blondy Wallace and Tigers end Walter East conspired to fix a two-game championship series between the two clubs. When the Tigers won the second and final game of the championship series and were named pro football's champions, Wallace was accused of throwing the game for Canton.

However E. J. Stewart, the Tigers' coach and the editor of the *Massillon Independent*, charged that an actual attempt was made to bribe some of the Tiger players and that Wallace had been involved. His accusation was that an attempt had been made to bribe some Massillion players before the first game. According to Stewart, Tiny Maxwell and Bob Shiring of Massillon had been solicited to throw the first game by East. Maxwell and Shiring then reported the offer to the Tigers' manager and the scandal ended before it began. The scandal was said to have ruined professional football in Ohio until the mid-1910s.

### Coach

In 1909, Maxwell became an assistant coach for Swarthmore College. He later accepted an assistant coaching job at Penn. While coaching, Maxwell also enrolled at Jefferson Medical College, located in Philadelphia where he completed his pre-clinical studies. However, he withdrew from the school after two years. As a student at Jefferson, Bob again played guard on the school's football team.

### Referee

Because of his tremendous size, quickness, and knowledge of the rules, Maxwell was soon in demand to officiate major games as Harvard-Yale, Army-Navy and Pitt-Penn State. Walter Camp later said that Maxwell set the standard for fairness and competence. He also officiated several professional football games as well. Bob worked the famed Penn-Dartmouth game at the Polo Grounds in 1919, referred to as "The Bloodiest Battle of World War I". Lou Little, a Penn tackle who later coached at Georgetown and Columbia, said Maxwell alone prevented an open riot.

In 1921, Maxwell served as the referee for a game between the Union Quakers of Philadelphia and the pre-National Football League, Frankford Yellow Jackets.

#### Notable officiating experiences

* During a Yale-Harvard game, Maxwell obstructed a Harvard tackler, preventing him from bringing down a Yale ball carrier. As Yale's players celebrated the resulting big gain, Maxwell told them, "Gentlemen of Yale, I fully expect to be invited to your annual banquet and be awarded my varsity 'Y.' I have j-just turned in the best Yale play of the day."
* During a Pitt-Penn State game, after Maxwell had followed a Pitt runner for the length of the field in a breakaway play against Penn State, the Nittany Lions' captain insisted that the Pitt back had stepped out of bounds at his own 10-yard line. He then asked Tiny to come back with him to Pitt's 10 yard line, he'd point out the cleat mark. Maxwell responded by saying as he panted "Young man," if y-you want me to go back and look at that cleat mark, you'll have to hire me a t-taxi."
* During a match-up involving a Catholic and non-Catholic college, a lineman for the Catholic institution bit the finger of one of the players from the non-Catholic school. When the bitten player complained, Maxwell replied, "I'll tell you what to do. Next year schedule the game on a Friday, because they don't eat meat then."

### Reporter

In 1914, after a journalistic apprenticeship in Chicago as a reporter for the *Chicago Record Herald*, he began writing a sports column for the *Philadelphia Public Ledger*. Two years later Maxwell became sports editor of the *Public Ledger*, a position he held until his death. Maxwell's column was reported as being stylish and good humored. In friendly bet between *Record Herald* and a rival newspaper, Maxwell defeated his colleague in an eating contest.

## Death and legacy

> "He was one of the finest football officials in the game and personally an ideal type of sportsman. I enjoyed his friendship and I believe that his writings have had a great influence upon athletics, especially for the promotion of cleaner athletics. The sports world can ill afford to lose him."

Walter Camp, on the news of Maxwell's death

Early in the summer of 1922, Maxwell and some friends went for a drive in the countryside north of Philadelphia. As they were returning that night, Maxwell noticed a car stopped directly in front of him on the road. Fearing a holdup, he sped up to go around the car and ran head-on into a truck that was taking a group of Boy Scouts home from a picnic. According to Nan Pollock, one of those in Maxwell's party, Maxwell was pinned beneath the wreckage. He told his friends to "Help the others! I can wait."

Maxwell spent the next few days in a hospital located in Norristown, Pennsylvania, where he was suffering from seven broken ribs, a punctured lung and a dislocated hip. Pneumonia developed, and delirium soon followed. On the night of June 29, Maxwell was visited by his neighbor and close friend, Charles Heeb. Emerging from his delirium he talked of packing his bags and going home. "Take two hours' sleep, and I'll go with you," Heeb told him. Maxwell agreed and he drifted off to sleep where he later died.

In 1937, the Maxwell Football Club was founded in Philadelphia to award trophies in his name and promote football safety. The club also annually awards the Maxwell Award to the best college football player in the nation, as determined by a panel of sportscasters, sportswriters, and NCAA head coaches and the membership of the Maxwell Football Club.

He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1974.
