# Wallace Carlson

**Wallace A. Carlson** (March 28, 1894 – May 9, 1967) was a pioneering American animator and comic strip artist based in Chicago. Known to his friends as **Wally Carlson**, he usually signed his work as **Wallace Carlson**.

## Biography

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Carlson moved with his family in 1905 to Chicago, where he took a job at the *Chicago Inter Ocean* newspaper as a copy boy. Soon he was contributing cartoons to the paper. Some time after the newspaper folded, Carlson created his first animated cartoon, *Joe Boko Breaking Into the Big League* (1914) completely on his own, the same year as Winsor McCay's *Gertie the Dinosaur*. The success of this short gained the attention of the Essanay Film Manufacturing Company, who engaged Carlson to create a series, *Canimated Nooz Pictorials*, that was combined into their newsreels. At first the character Joe Boko continued from the older subject, but shortly Carlson introduced Dreamy Dud, a winsome lad whose daydreams gets him into various troublesome situations. Carlson's Dreamy Dud pictures remain his best known work in posterity.

In 1917, Carlson began to work for John Randolph Bray and developed other characters, including Otto Luck and Goodrich Dirt, the latter being a short, squat bearded hobo in ragged clothes who seemed to have perpetual bad luck. When Carlson introduced the *Us Fellers* series at Bray in 1919, it provided him the opportunity to bring back Dreamy Dud, who was the main focus of these subjects.

## *The Nebbs*

Carlson took over animating the popular strip *The Gumps* for Bray in 1919, and while the series was not successful, Carlson struck up a friendship with writer Sol Hess, a close friend to *The Gumps'* cartoonist Sidney Smith. Carlson's career as animator ended with his last *Gumps* short, *Fatherly Love* (1921). In the spring of 1923, he and Hess rolled out *The Nebbs*, a strip modeled very closely on *The Gumps*, although Junior Nebb bore an uncanny resemblance to Dreamy Dud. Although not as well remembered today as *The Gumps*, *The Nebbs* was an extremely successful strip and ran in more than 500 newspapers, spawning a short-lived radio series in the 1940s.

With Hess' death in 1941, the scripts for *The Nebbs* were taken over by his daughter, Betsy Hess and her husband, Stanley Baer. They ran another strip called *The Toodle Family*, and by 1947, *The Nebbs* had been folded into the newer comic as subsidiary characters. Shortly before that, Carlson had gone into retirement. He died in Chicago in 1967.

## Legacy

Although Wallace Carlson's early and late careers as a newspaper cartoonist added up to some 30 years of activity, it is for his animation that he is remembered; in just seven years Carlson made over 100 cartoons, albeit short ones of the split-reel variety. Most of these are either lost or otherwise unaccounted for, though several of his titles were circulated in the home 16mm market of the 1920s and 30s and newly discovered ones continue to be located periodically. The earlier, freely drawn Essanay titles tend to be more interesting than later Bray subjects as the recycled cel backdrops and the demand of producing cartoons at the rate which Bray preferred tended to compromise their quality. Nevertheless, Carlson belongs to the first generation of American animators and his work retains considerable interest in its close visual relationship to comic strip art and imaginative flights of fancy, particularly in the *Dreamy Dud* series.

# Waldorf Music

**Waldorf Music** is a German synthesizer company. They are best known for the Microwave wavetable synthesizer and Blofeld virtual analogue synthesizer.

## History

Waldorf Electronics GmbH was founded in 1988 by Wolfgang Düren, who at the time was the German distributor of PPG. The Waldorf name refers to the German town of Waldorf (near to the former capital of West Germany: Bonn) where the company was founded. Later, the company was headquartered in Schloss Ahrenthal.

On 5 February 2004, Waldorf declared insolvency at a German court. Shortly before, the company was turned into an Aktiengesellschaft called *Waldorf Music AG*, but to no avail.

In Summer 2006, a new company Waldorf Music GmbH was officially established, although it is not a legal successor to the original company. Waldorf's headquarter has now moved to Remagen and is led by CEO Joachim Flor.

After the demise of PPG in 1987, Waldorf took over the heritage of wavetable synthesis. Based on an ASIC designed by Wolfgang Palm, the Microwave, and later the **WAVE**, were built. However, Palm never functioned as an employee of Waldorf.

Over the years, Waldorf continuously adapted new technologies. While the **Microwave I** (released 1989) was based on ASICs and a Motorola MC68000 micro processor, **Microwave II** (1997) was driven by a DSP. In 2013, **NAVE**, a synthesizer app for iOS was released. Their **Kyra** (2019) is the first fully FPGA-powered synthesizer.

While many other synth manufacturers aimed to recreate previously existing hardware in software, Waldorf went the other way and presented the **RackAttack**, a hardware drum synth in 2002. The synth engine had been published as a VST instrument a year before. Nevertheless, the **Streichfett** came up in 2014: a synth that recreated the sound of vintage string machines.

abstract: Walter Smith Baldwin Jr. was an American character actor whose career spanned five decades and 150 film and television roles, and numerous stage performances. Baldwin was born January 2, 1889, in Lima, Ohio, into a theatrical family: his father Walter S. Baldwin Sr. and mother Pearl Melville were both actors. He joined his parents' stock theatre company, and in 1915 married fellow actress Geraldine Blair. He was probably best known for playing the father of the disabled sailor in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). He was the first actor to portray the town character "Floyd the Barber" on The Andy Griffith Show starring Andy Griffith and Don Knotts.on television, 1960 to 1968. Prior to his first film roles in 1939, Baldwin had appeared in more than a dozen Broadway plays in New York City. He played "Whit"/ in the first Broadway production in 1938 of Of Mice and Men, based on famous author John Steinbeck's best-selling novel published the previous year of 1937, ànd also appeared in the original Grand Hotel (1931) play in a small role, as well as serving as the production's stage manager. He originated the role of "Bensinger", the prissy 'Chicago Tribune' reporter, in the 1928 Broadway production in New York City of The Front Page. In the 1960s he had small acting roles in television comedy shows such as Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. In 1967 he portrayed a stable owner in the "Fandango" episode on the famous long-running of TV Western series on Gunsmoke. He continued to act in motion pictures, and one of his last roles was in Rosemary's Baby. (1968). Baldwin was known for playing solid middle class burghers, although sometimes he gave portrayals of eccentric characters. He played a customer seeking a prostitute in The Lost Weekend (1945), and the rebellious prison trusty "Orvy" in Cry of the City (1948). Walter Baldwin was featured in a lot of "John Deere Day" movies during the 1950s, from 1949 to 1959 where he played the farmer "Tom Gordon". In this series of Deere Day advertising / marketing movies for over a decade shown as short subjects between usually two other major feature films along with cartoons, newsreels and previews of coming attractions (trailers) such as in a "double feature" program shown in local neighborhood movie theatres. This was in the early television broadcasting era. He helped to introduce to rural country movie theatre audiences about many new pieces of John Deere farming / agriculture machinery and equipment year-by-year. In each yearly movie along with an interesting short story line, he would be shown in a "Tom Gordon Family Film" where he would always be buying new John Deere farm equipment or a new green and yellow tractor in the traditional John Deere colors. A picture of Walter Baldwin playing "Tom Gordon" can be found on page 108 of Bob Pripp's farm equipment history book "John Deere: Yesterday & Today" Hal Erickson writes in the AllMovie Internet website / database on films: "With a pinched Midwestern countenance that enabled him to portray taciturn farmers, obsequious grocery store clerks and the occasional sniveling coward, Baldwin was a familiar presence in Hollywood films for three decades."

# Nammane Yuvarani

***Nammane Yuvarani*** was an Indian Kannada language television drama that premiered on Colors Kannada and digitally streams on Voot. The show premiered on 14 January 2019. It has been titled as the Best Serial in 2020

Nammane Yuvarani is the story which reveals the amount of trust two brothers, Saketh and Aniket and their childhood friend, Meera share with each other. Each one of them is ready to sacrifice their lives for each other. The sacrifices made by Meera to protect the house from Saketh's wife Ahalya's evil plans, ever growing and eternal love between Aniket and Meera and the family bonding of Rajgurus forms the rest of the story.

## Plot

Nammane Yuvarani (Our House Queen) is the story of two daughters -in - law – Meera and Ahalya. The story opens with the welcoming ceremony of Aniketh, son of the Rajguru family who has come from London after completing his studies in business. Saketh, Aniketh and Pranam are three brothers who have lost their parents and other family members during their childhood. They are taken care of by their grandfather, Vasudhendra Rajguru and a cook named Shambhavi who has a daughter, Meera who resides at the Rajguru. The first few episodes deal with selecting a bride for Saketh's marriage. After selection, Ahalya and Saketh's marriage is fixed. At the wedding place, Meera and Aniketh are shocked to hear that Ahalya had married someone beforehand (later it was known to be Rajath) and share this with Saketh. Saketh shocks everyone by telling that he knows this information and the marriage takes place without any constraints. Having created a ruckus in the hall, Meera and Aniketh decide to apologise to Ahalya. While it's Meera's turn, she learns from Ahalya herself that Ahalya has come to the house with evil intentions. Shocked, Meera tries to confront others, but all in vain.

Meera tries to expose Ahalya's misdeeds before the family but before she could do so, Ahalya comes up with plans. Although Meera is the daughter of a cook, she mingles with the family so much that Aniketh falls in love with her. Ahalya realises that Meera is an obstacle to her goal and decides to marry her off to Prateek who is Meera's college friend and teaches her Maths which Aniketh does not like. Everyone is happy at Meera's wedding proposal except Saketh and Aniketh because they know how Aniketh is madly in love with her. Saketh asks Aniketh to propose to Meera even after her marriage is fixed, but Aniketh does not want to break the marriage. On the wedding day, Ahalya reveals to Meera that her intention is to remove Meera from the house and then destroy the family for some reason later known in the story. With the help of Saketh's friend, Mayuri, Meera comes up with a plan to marry Aniketh and keep a close eye on Ahalya. Meera reveals that she loves Aniketh and would only marry him. Happy, Saketh and Aniketh also support her decision and the marriage happens. Still, Meera does not realise that Aniketh loved her beforehand.

After a few days of Anira's marriage, Aniketh reveals Meera that he loved her before marriage with a romantic proposal in the temple, as he could not resist Shambhavi's torture to Meera for having married above her status. Shocked, Meera slowly falls in love with him. It is at this point of time, Shambhavi and Ahalya get to know about Meera's false claims at the wedding. But Aniketh completely misunderstands the situation and feels that Shambhavi is torturing Meera for her status and not for the lie she omitted. While Meera apologises to Aniketh who did not know the truth yet, she feels reassured that Aniketh has forgiven her. For the next few episodes, Aniketh reveals in front of all the family members that he loved Meera before marriage as well. Shambhavi and Meera unite. Prateek, with the help of Ahalya tries to create a scene and break the strong tie between Meera and Aniketh, but later is exposed when he pulls Meera's mangalsutra from her neck. Aniketh and Meera remarry.

While Ahalya tries to carry on her sinister plans, Namratha, her sister, gets to know all her intentions. She pleads with her not to do so but all in vain. Chandrakantha (Ahalya's younger father) is exposed with the help of Ahalya for having played a major role in Meera and Aniketh kidney transplant.

When Ahalya reveals her vengeance's reason (Rajguru family is responsible for her father's life imprisonment), Namratha feels sorry and joins her evil ploy. Ahalya reveals to Meera that Aniketh still believes Meera loved him before marriage and Meera is dumbstruck when she observes his activities. Saketh overhears this conversation. With the help of Saketh, Meera decides to speak out the truth to Aniketh and does so on a date. Aniketh lashes out at her but they decide to live as if nothing has happened in front of the family. On Meera's birthday, Meera in her intoxicated state, asks Aniketh why he had a sudden hatred for her for a few days. Aniketh's heart melts and he forgives Meera. But Ahalya and Namratha try to show how Ani and Meera lived life fakingly through a puppet show, which enrages Saketh as he feels they played with his emotions. After apologising, Meera, Saketh and Aniketh reunite as before with help of Ahalya. While Ahalya is happy, Namratha is not. Ahalya reveals to Namratha that this would suppress the suspicion Meera had on her and she would realise that Ahalya has changed as a part of their plan.

As designed, Meera starts to remove her suspicion on Ahalya, but not for many days. By this time, Saketh and Aniketh are also suspecting Ahalya. To clear their confusions, they confront Ahalya's childhood teacher, neighbours but all in vain. Ahalya brings Rammana and falsely designs him as her father. While Lakshmi (Ahalya's mother) is reluctant to approve him as her husband, Ahalya forces her to do so. But again she is exposed with the help of Meera in front of the family. Aniketh's suspicion on Ahalya increases after a couple of events in the story and he decides to follow Ahalya to a remote place. But, much to his shock, he is hit hard with a stick by Ahalya. Having not returned, Meera and Saketh are disappointed. Ahalya reveals that Aniketh is no more and they should perform his last rituals. Meera breaks all the rituals and Aniketh makes his entry. Ahalya is dumbstruck as it is not only Meera, but Aniketh too who are sure of her evil intentions.

Ani repeatedly gives threats to Ahalya to stop her activities. Ahalya makes a smart plan and reveals in front of the family that the person is disguised as Aniketh but is not himself. Dumbstruck, Meera confronts him at a date and clears all her confusions when she sees the tattoo made on his chest at the date specially for her a few days after their marriage in a fair. Upon asking the reason for his sudden disappearance for some days, he reveals that he has learnt of Ahalya's evil ploy. Both Ani and Meera are thrilled as they are now together to expose her. Ahalya gets to know the truth that Meera has learnt that her Aniketh is the Aniketh beforehand and no one has disguised him. Namratha slowly changes and turns good. After successfully handing Pranam and Shambhavi to Chandrakanth as a case of kidnap, Ahalya threatens Ani to handover the house papers. After getting the house papers, she reveals her intentions herself, how her family had to live because of the Rajguru family which is entirely a misunderstanding, and mocks Meera for not being able to protect her family. But she is shocked to hear from Saketh that the house papers were fake. Meera reveals that Pranam and Shambhavi are safe because of the help of Agastya (from Nannarasi Radhe). Ahalya is imprisoned.

Ani feels bad for having played with Saketh by choosing Ahalya as a perfect bride for him in the first episodes of the story. But Meera and Saketh reassure him. Ahalya reveals that she is pregnant at the jail and so is bailed with an emotional reunion with her father, Sankar Murthy. Meera tries her best to bring back Ahalya, because she feels that she might have changed but she goes into a coma after an accident. Changed, Ahalya now brings back Meera's life. At the Ganesh Chaturthi celebration, Ahalya reveals that she can't keep her child away from a good family and so asks Meera to bring up her child. After a couple of episodes, Ahalya learns that she was only a pawn to her father and all those events she had thought of were not true. She thinks of all the evil ploys she did at the Rajguru house. While Sankar Murthy tries to kill Ahalya's unborn child, Meera protects Ahalya and brings her home back. Saketh forgives Ahalya after the family members assure him. The entire family reunites.

Later in the story, we are introduced to Kalpana (an enemy of the Rajguru family) who creates problems for the family and even buys their house. With the help of Varudhini, the Rajguru family is able to get their house back. Ani and Meera perform a ritual for bearing a child, but when Ani sees Meera so thrilled for a baby, he thinks of her possibility of not bearing a child due to problems. But after Sridevi's blessings at a temple, Ani gets a call from a nurse, revealing Meera whose baby is healthy. Aniketh and Meera are thrilled and regularly get appointments with the doctor. Once, Kalpana threatens them and after they go for a check up they do not return. This brings an end to their character.

Ahalya and others are shocked to hear this. Ardent prayers are made for their coming back and seven years are spent in finding them but all in vain. The show features a leap of seven years now.

**7 YEARS LATER**

Pranam has grown up. While finding Ani and Meera, the family confronts a girl named Ganga. Immediately Pranam falls in love with her, proposes to her and the marriage takes place after a lot of ruckus created by Kalpana and Navya. Later, Kalpana creates problems which makes the family members angry with Ganga. Pranam and Ganga now are separated. Ganga goes to her village where she encounters another enemy, Raje Gowda. With help of Ahalya, Ganga and Pranam reunite and Ganga confesses her love to Pranam. Annoyed, Pranam admonishes Ganga for manipulating the family into believing that they consummated their marriage. However, Ganga's grandmother notices him shouting at her. After a couple of episodes, problems arise where Pranam begins to suspect and dislike Ganga, creating a rift between them. Ganga's humiliation makes her come at a decision to leave the house. After efforts by Ahalya and Saketh, both of them reunite. Ganga comes with a plan to trap Kalpana by disguising herself at her home. She reveals to Kalpana that she has broken her ties with the Rajguru family and watches her intentions.

After arresting Kalpana, the Rajgurus hire a detective to search her home. They are startled to find Meera's diary which makes Saketh emotional. They get a clue that their baby is alive and hire a detective in search of her. Will the Rajgurus finally unite with the long-lost Meera, Aniket and their baby?

With help of Arun, Saketh is able to retrieve his daughter, Kinnari. His daughter comes to Rajguru family and Ahalya is overwhelmed to find her child back. Kinnari is not able to develop a good relation with her father and stays away from him. Ahalya even keeps her child away from Saketh in many episodes.

In a series of events, Meera's diary is burnt to ashes, while Ganga suspects that it has been done by someone knowingly. Kinnari gets closer to his father, Saketh with help of Pranam. Ganga makes her wish to bail out Kalpana from the prison to Saketh, and he follows her wish. In a series of events, Kalpana absconds her house far. Ganga notices Kinnari's photograph with her grandfather, Shankar Murthy (Ahalya's father) and confronts Ahalya. Later, Rajgurus find a threatening letter about the danger on Kinnari. Ahalya decides to send her to boarding school back. As Ganga takes her to the school, she is surprised to know that Kinnari was already in the school before hand. What is Ahalya hiding from the family about Kinnari's past?

The story introduces a new character, Chinni, who is shown in utmost poverty. While she lands at the Rajguru house at Gowri Ganesh Puja, she requests the family to provide her shelter. In the initial days, she reminds the family of Meera, as she imitates all her activities. Is Chinni related to Meera? In the later series of events, it is revealed that Ahalya is the master mind behind Aniketh and Meera's disconnection with the family for many years. She is also the murderer of Kalpana, which is revealed by Navya when she narrates the story to the Rajgurus. Ganga and Pranam visit Chinni's ashram and get to know that she is none other than Aniketh and Meera's daughter. Overwhelmed, they announce the family. Also, Saketh shares a good news that he has found Aniket and Meera.

Dumbstruck Ahalya, now decides to show her climax to the family. While Saketh goes to an isolated house where Meera and Aniketh live, he is held at gunpoint by Chandrakanth. In a shocking turn of events, he holds the gun on Chandrakanth's forehead and asks him to help him fool Ahalya. The Rajgurus reach a place where Ahalya celebrates her victory. Soon, Chandrakanth arrives with Saketh and his plan. Shambhavi and Lakshmi shoot Ahalya as a punishment to her misdeeds and for sending Aniketh and Meera far from them for many years. Ahalya gloats her victory before the dead Saketh, Aniketh and Meera, but it was a plan of Saketh. Shooted Ahalya, gets to know that Saketh had saved Aniketh and Meera, and then breathes her last. While the dead body of Ahalya is taken for cremation, Chandrakanth and Lakshmi are arrested.

The Rajguru family welcomes Aniketh and Meera back home after many years of grief and the title track of Nammane Yuvarani tunes with the photo album of the Rajguru family.

title: HMS Guerriere (1806)

abstract: Guerrière was a 38-gun frigate of the French Navy, designed by Forfait. The British captured her and recommissioned her as HMS Guerriere.

# HMS Guerriere (1806)

***Guerrière*** was a 38-gun frigate of the French Navy, designed by Forfait. The British captured her and recommissioned her as **HMS *Guerriere***. She is most famous for her fight against USS *Constitution*.

Her career with the French included a sortie with *Duguay-Trouin* in 1803, in which the two vessels were forced to make an escape from a British ship. They were harried by British forces of varying strengths during their journey back to port and only just reached the safety of Corunna, with *Guerrière* being engaged by the 74-gun HMS *Culloden* until she reached the entrance to the port. She sailed in 1806 with several other French ships to attack British and Russian whalers, but was chased and brought to action by HMS *Blanche*. After a hard-fought battle, *Blanche* forced *Guerrière* to surrender, and brought her back to Britain.

Now commissioned as HMS *Guerriere*, she went out to the West Indies and served off the American coast for a number of years. She captured a number of privateers, and was still in American waters after the outbreak of the War of 1812. On 19 August 1812 *Guerriere*, under Captain James Richard Dacres, sighted the American frigate *Constitution*, under Isaac Hull. The two ships closed and after a fierce engagement the American managed to shoot away *Guerriere*'s fore and main-masts, leaving her un-manoeuvrable. Dacres struck his colours to avoid further bloodshed; the Americans then transferred her crew to *Constitution* and set fire to the badly damaged *Guerriere*.

## Career with the French

### Sailing with *Duguay-Trouin*

*Guerrière* served with the French Navy during the Napoleonic Wars under Commander Louis Alexis Baudoin, initially trapped in harbour by the Blockade of Saint-Domingue. She was with the 74-gun *Duguay-Trouin* on 24 July 1803, when the latter ship was spotted by a British ship off Cape Picolet. The 74-gun HMS *Elephant*, under Captain George Dundas gave chase, and the two ships exchanged several broadsides. The 18-gun sloop HMS *Snake* appeared on the north-west quarter, but the *Elephant*, either because of the appearance of *Guerrière* to windward, or for another unexplained reason, failed to maintain her position alongside *Duguay-Trouin*. Consequently, both French ships were able to escape. However, *Duquesne*, a 74-gun armed en flûte (removing some or all of her armament), was captured.

*Duguay-Trouin* and *Guerrière* made for the European coast, eventually making the port of Ferrol in Spain. On 29 August they were spotted by the 38-gun frigate HMS *Boadicea*, under the command of Captain John Maitland. Unable to make out what the unknown ships he had sighted were, he gave chase. Before nightfall he had discerned that the ships were enemies, but heavy fog made it impossible to determine their disposition until just after midday on 31 August, when it became clear that one of them was a 74 gunner and together, they were more than a match for *Boadicea*. He nevertheless continued to close and tested the Frenchmen's resolve with a broadside. After an ineffectual but vocal reply had revealed to him that the French ships were fully manned and armed, Maitland brought his ship about and began to escape. The French attempted to pursue but were unable to catch *Boadicea*, eventually returning to their original course.

The two ships arrived off Cape Prior on 2 September, when they were again spotted, this time by a British squadron under the command of Commodore Sir Edward Pellew. The only ship ready and able to pursue the French was HMS *Culloden*, under the command of Captain Barrington Dacres. He immediately began a pursuit and after a chase, managed to close the French and open fire. *Duguay-Trouin*, being the weathermost ship, got into Corunna first. The forts defending the port opened fire on *Culloden*, but she continued to engage *Guerrière*, until almost within the port, at which point she hauled off and returned to the squadron. *Culloden* suffered four men wounded, whilst *Guerrière* had suffered considerable damage to her masts and rigging and had lost six men killed and 15, including her captain and first lieutenant, wounded.

### Battling HMS *Blanche*

*Guerrière* was despatched from Lorient on 28 March 1806 in company with the frigates *Revanche* and *Sirène*, and the brig-corvette *Néarque*, with orders to attack and destroy British and Russian whalers in the Arctic, off Greenland. She became separated from the rest of the squadron, but was able to capture and burn several whaling vessels. By 16 July, news of her activities, including a recent sighting off the Faroe Islands reached Captain Thomas Lavie aboard the frigate HMS *Blanche*, then off the Shetland Islands. *Blanche* quickly sailed to the reported area and on 18 July, sighted *Guerrière*. At this point *Guerrière* was carrying 50 guns, to *Blanche'*s 46.

*Blanche* quickly closed the distance, but *Guerrière*, perhaps mistaking the British frigate for one of her squadron, did not initially take action. *Blanche* opened fire at about 15 minutes past midnight, firing two broadsides before *Guerrière* could respond. A fierce fight followed, with *Guerrière* eventually surrendering at half past one that morning, having lost her mizzenmast. *Blanche* had suffered light damage and four men wounded out of her complement of 265. *Guerrière* had suffered considerable damage to her lower masts, as well as to her hull, both above and below the waterline. Out of her complement of 350, 20 of her officers, seamen and marines had been killed, whilst another 30 were wounded, ten of them seriously. Many of the French crew had been ill below decks during the engagement. *Guerrière* had been aiming to cripple *Blanche* by firing to bring down her masts, so that *Guerrière* might escape. When this failed, *Guerrière* was eventually worn down and forced to strike.

*Blanche* escorted *Guerrière* back to Britain, arriving with her prize on 26 July in Yarmouth Roads. *Guerrière* was commissioned into the Royal Navy, after a repair and refit which brought her to 48 guns. The captain of *Blanche* was knighted and the first lieutenant was promoted.

## As HMS *Guerriere*

*Guerriere* spent 1807 fitting out at Chatham Dockyard, and entered active duty in 1808 under the command of Captain Alexander Skene. She was based in Jamaica and on 15 February she captured the French privateer brig *Malvina*, of Nantes. *Malvina* was commanded by René Salaun and carried 14 guns and 60 men. She had been travelling with her prize, the British ship *Juliana*, which *Guerriere* recaptured.

In July 1808, the master of an American brig claimed the protection of a convoy from Jamaica, which was being escorted by the 64-gun HMS *Veteran*. The American traveled with the convoy for part of its journey, but twenty four hours after leaving its protection, he betrayed the strength and course of the convoy to the French. The French privateer cutter *Peraty*, under the command of M. Maurison, took up position in the convoy's path, hoping to capture some of the ships. *Guerrière* surprised and captured the privateer after a chase lasting 24 hours. The privateer was found to be the former HMS *Barbara*, which the French privateer *General Ernouf* had captured on 17 September 1807. The prize crew had sailed *Barbara* to Charlestown, where she had been refitted. As *Peraty*, she had sailed again on 10 September, having been furnished with supplies and provisions for three months of raiding. *Peraty* was armed with twelve 18-pounder carronades and had a crew of 80 men.

In 1809 *Guerriere* was under the command of Captain Robert Lloyd, formerly of HMS *Hussar*. He was replaced in 1810 by Captain Samuel John Pechell, and in October that year, *Guerriere* sailed to Halifax.

On 1 May 1811 *Guerriere* stopped the brig USS *Spitfire* off New Jersey's Sandy Hook, impressing the apprentice sailing master of *Spitfire* (and citizen of Maine), John Diggio. Fifteen days later, the frigate USS *President* mistook the sixth-rate HMS *Little Belt* for *Guerriere* and attempted to recover Diggio, leading to the Little Belt affair. The incident provoked a diplomatic furor and contributed to the tense atmosphere prior to the War of 1812. Pechell stayed with *Guerriere* until July 1811, when he returned to his previous ship, HMS *Cleopatra*. He was replaced by Captain James Dacres, and in April 1811, she sailed for the Halifax Station.

In August 1811 she detained the American brig *New Orleans Packet*.

### Fighting USS *Constitution*

During the afternoon of 19 August 1812, 41°42′N 55°33′W / 41.700°N 55.550°W / 41.700; -55.550 about 400 miles (640 km) southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a sail was sighted on the weather beam bearing down on them. She was soon made out to be a man-of-war and *Guerriere* prepared for action, mustering 244 men and 19 boys at quarters. When the enemy hoisted American colours, Captain Dacres permitted the Americans in his crew to quit their guns.

The two ships exchanged broadsides for half an hour before the American ship closed her starboard beam and sent HMS *Guerriere*'s mizzenmast overboard. Switching to the other bow, the American ship raked HMS *Guerriere*, which included sweeping her decks with grapeshot and musket fire, and then attempted to board. Samuel Grant, master's mate commanding the forecastle, was badly wounded and at about the same time Robert Scott, the master, was shot through the knee and the Captain severely wounded. Captain Dacres ordered Lieutenant Bartholomew Kent to lead the marines and boarders from the main deck towards the forecastle, but the two ships parting at that moment meant that they were able to bring some of the bow guns to bear on the *Constitution*. William J. Snow, master's mate, commanded the fore-most main deck guns and John Garby, acting purser, the after quarterdeck guns.

The two ships were clear of each other when *Guerriere*'s foremast and mainmast went over the side, leaving her an unmanageable wreck. The crew managed to clear the debris, but while they were rolling enough to put the main deck guns under water, the American ship came within pistol range to rake them. At this point, Captain Dacres called his remaining officers together and they agreed to strike the colours to avoid further loss of life. Fifteen men had been killed, including the second lieutenant, Mr Henry Ready; six were mortally wounded, 39 severely and eighteen slightly. Lieutenant Kent was wounded by a splinter early on.

They found that the enemy was the heavy frigate USS *Constitution* under Captain Isaac Hull armed with thirty 24-pounders on the main deck, twenty-four 32-pounders and two bored-out 18-pounders on the upper deck. Out of 476 men, nine were killed and thirteen were wounded. Captain Dacres was surprised and shocked to find a large proportion of British seamen amongst her crew, a number of whom had joined in the boarding party.

Hull wanted to take *Guerriere* as a prize but by the next morning it was clear that the ship was too badly damaged to salvage. The next day, she was set on fire by her captors; *Constitution* returned to Boston, Massachusetts. Dacres wrote a report of the action to the commander of the North American Station, Vice-Admiral Herbert Sawyer. A court-martial was held on board HMS *Africa* at Halifax on 2 October. It found that Captain Dacres was justified in surrendering his ship to save the lives of his remaining crew. The court also found that the masts going overboard was due more to their defective nature than the fire of the enemy. Captain Dacres was later given command of the 38-gun fifth rate HMS *Tiber*.

Part of *Guerriere*'s crew returned to Plymouth on 16 January 1813 aboard HMS *Spy*. The French had captured and released *Spy* on 20 December 1812.

title: HERmione

abstract: HERmione is an autobiographical novel written by the poet H.D. It forms part of what she refers to as her Madrigal cycle, which also includes Bid Me to Live, Paint it Today and Asphodel. Although written in 1927, it was not published until 1981; this may be due to a lack of confidence in her own writing quality, as H.D. suggested was true of Asphodel, or due to the centrality of her homosexual relationship with Gregg represented in the novel. While there is no evidence that H.D. attempted to publish the novel, it, along with another autobiographical work The Gift were being prepared for publication at the time of her death in 1961. Her literary executor, Norman Holmes Pearson, had created a typescript of HER which had been heavily revised by H.D. In the novel, she represents herself as Hermione Gart, a woman in her twenties, shortly after failing at Bryn Mawr.

# HES1

**Transcription factor HES1** (hairy and enhancer of split-1) is a protein that is encoded by the *Hes1* gene, and is the mammalian homolog of the hairy gene in *Drosophila.* HES1 is one of the seven members of the Hes gene family (HES1-7). Hes genes code nuclear proteins that suppress transcription.

This protein belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors. It is a transcriptional repressor of genes that require a bHLH protein for their transcription. The protein has a particular type of basic domain that contains a helix interrupting protein that binds to the N-box promoter region rather than the canonical enhancer box (E-box). As a member of the bHLH family, it is a transcriptional repressor that influences cell proliferation and differentiation in embryogenesis. HES1 regulates its own expression via a negative feedback loop, and oscillates with approximately 2-hour periodicity.

## Structure

There are three conserved domains in Hes genes that impart transcriptional functions: the bHLH domain, the Orange domain, and the WRPW motif. Hes genes differ from other bHLH factors in that they have a proline residue in the middle of the basic DNA binding region. This proline has been proposed to give Hes proteins unique DNA binding capacity. While most bHLH factors bind to the E-box consensus sequence (CANNTG) that is present in the promoter region of target genes, Hes factors bind more preferentially to the Class C site or N box (CACNAG). The Orange domain serves to regulate the choice of bHLH heterodimer partners. The C-terminal WRPW domain inhibits transcription.

## Interactions

Similarly to other HES proteins, Hes1 has been shown to interact with the co-repressors encoded by the Transducin-like E(spl) (TLE) genes and the Groucho-related gene (Grg), both homologs of the *Drosophila groucho*. Because Groucho in *Drosophila* inhibits transcription by recruiting histone deacetylase, it is likely that a Hes-Groucho complex actively blocks transcription by disabling chromatin. Hes proteins also heterodimerize with bHLH repressors such as Hey1 and Hey2, a process which also blocks transcription. Hes factors also heterodimerize with bHLH activators such as E47, also known as Tcfe2a, and Mash1, also known as Ascl1, both of which are the mammalian homologs to proneural genes in *Drosophila*. The E47-Hes and Mash1-Hes heterodimer complexes cannot bind DNA, and therefore repress transcription. Hes1 also interacts with TLE2 and Sirtuin 1.

## HES1 and stem cells

HES1 influences the maintenance of certain stem cells and progenitor cells. Specifically, HES1 influences the timing of differentiation by repressing bHLH activators, and determines binary cell fate. HES1 has been shown to play a large role in both the nervous, and digestive systems. HES1 has been shown to influence these two systems partially through the Notch signaling pathway.

### Neural development

HES1 is expressed in both neuroepithelial cells and radial glial cells, both neural stem cells. *Hes1* expression, along with that of *Hes5*, covers the majority of the developing embryo at embryonic day 10.5. After this point, expression of *Hes1* is limited to the subventricular zone. In HES1 knockout (KO) mice, Mash1 is compensatorily upregulated, and neurogenesis is accelerated. Indeed, if the expression of *Hes1*, *Hes3*, and *Hes5* genes is inhibited, the expression of proneural genes increases, and while neurogenesis is accelerated, neural stem cells become prematurely depleted. Contrariwise, if these HES genes are overexpressed, neurogenesis is inhibited. Thus HES1 genes are only involved in maintaining, not creating, neural stem cells.

Additionally, HES1 can guide neural stem cells down one of two paths of differentiation. HES1 can maintain neural stem cells expressing Pax6, but leads cells that are Pax6-negative to an astrocyte differentiation fate. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation also influence HES1's ability to direct differentiation. Demethylation of HES1 target sites in the promoter region of astrocyte-specific genes hastens astrocyte differentiation. The oscillatory nature of *Hes1* expression has a role in determining differentiation fate as well. HES1-high embryonic stem cells that received a differentiation signal often adopted a mesodermal fate, while HES1-low cells that received a differentiation signal differentiated into neuronal cells. These results were confirmed using quantitative PCR which showed that HES1-high cells showed high levels of *Brachyury* and *Fgf5* expression (both of which are expressed highly in mesodermal cell types) with comparatively low levels genes expressed in neural cells such as *Nestin*. By contrast, HES1-low cells showed high levels of expression of genes involved in neural induction and low levels of expression of genes involved in mesodermal differentiation. Cycling HES1 levels also contribute to the maintenance of neural progenitor cells by regulating Neurogenin2 (Ngn2) and Dll1 oscillations. *Hes1* levels fluctuate at different frequencies in different parts of the central nervous system: *HES1* is continuously expressed at high levels in the boundaries, but vacillates in the compartments. This suggests that alternating HES1 levels may prompt differences in characteristics between anatomical elements of the central nervous system.

### Interactions with the Notch pathway

HES1 also plays an important role in the Notch signaling pathway. In the absence of Notch signaling, RBPJ inhibits the expression of HES1. After Notch signals have been processed within the cell, however, the plasma membrane releases the intracellular domain of Notch, which moves to the nucleus where it associates with RBPJ. The binding causes a conformational change which leads co-repressors to disassociate and allows co-activators to bind. The new activating complex then prompts HES1 expression. Notch signaling activates HES1 expression. HES1 has been shown to target at least Notch ligands: *Dll1*, *Jagged1 (Jag1)*, and Neurogenin-2., *Dll1*, as with other Notch ligands, has been shown to induce neural differentiation, and HES1 binding of Dll1 blocks neural differentiation and leads to the maintenance of the neural stem cells and neural progenitor cells. Notch signaling also occurs in the intestinal crypt cells. Hyperactivated Notch causes a reduction in the number of secretory cell types (i.e. goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, and Paneth cells). Deletion of the Notch pathway by removing the Notch expression controller, *Rbpsuh*, causes the production of nearly only goblet cells.

### Digestive system

HES1 has been shown to influence the differentiation decision of cells in the gastrointestinal tract. In pancreatic progenitor cells, HES1 expression inhibits the expression of *Ptf1a*, which controls exocrine cell differentiation, and Ngn3, which drives differentiation of endocrine cell types that will form the islets of Langerhans. The absence of *Hes1* in the developing intestine of mice promotes the increase of Math1 (a protein required for the production of intestinal secretory cell types), which leads to an increase of goblet, enteroendocrine, and Paneth cells. When *Hes1* is deleted in mouse and zebrafish, surplus goblet cells and enteroendocrine cells are made while few enterocytes are made., Liver progenitor cells differentiate into two different cell types: hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells. When *Hes1* expression is low, hepatocytes form normally, but bile ducts are completely absent. This phenotype resembles Alagille syndrome, a hallmark of which is mutations in *Jagged1*. Therefore, Hes-Notch interactions also play a role in digestive organ development.

**Walter Lübcke** (22 August 1953 – 2 June 2019) was a German local politician in Hesse and a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). On 2 June 2019, he was assassinated at his home by a neo-Nazi extremist. Stephan Ernst was arrested on 15 June 2019 and confessed to the crime on 25 June 2019. The Federal Prosecutor's Office classified the murder as a political assassination.

## Early life and education

After attending primary and secondary school in Edertal, Lübcke finished a two-year vocational training in Bad Wildungen in 1969 to briefly work in a local bank afterwards. During his voluntary military service between 1975 and 1983, he completed his human resources management training and later worked as an assistant in the press office of the art exhibition documenta 7. Concurrently, Lübcke studied at the University of Kassel from 1981 to 1986, graduating with a degree in economics. In 1991, he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on "The early economic planning attempts in the Soviet Union: 1924–1928; Socialism between utopia and pragmatism".

## Career

Lübcke served as the municipal-oversight president of the governmental district (*Regierungsbezirk*) of Kassel, one of three in the federal state of Hesse, for 10 years.

He was known for his pro-migrant views. He received death threats after stating at a public gathering that people were free to leave the country if they opposed helping those claiming asylum.

## Death

On 2 June 2019, Lübcke was found dead on the terrace of his residence in the village of Istha. He had been shot in the head with a Rossi revolver at close range. On 15 June 2019, 45-year-old suspect Stephan Ernst was arrested. Ernst was known to have held extreme right-wing political views and had links to the far-right National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) and the German branch of the British neo-Nazi terrorist group Combat 18 (C18). Ernst had been previously convicted for knife and bomb attacks against targets connected to ethnic minorities in Germany.

### Aftermath

Following the death of Lübcke, the city of Kassel held a rally with up to 10,000 people attending who held banners that said in German "#FlagForDiversity" and "Together we are strong" with the following statements delivered by Bishop Martin Hein and Thomas Bockelmann, director of the Staatstheater Kassel that said "Whoever violates the dignity of people, in violence or in words, puts himself outside our democratic community, there are no ifs, ands or buts" and "cowardly people who in the anonymity of the internet wanted to feel powerful". Two others, Elmar J. and Markus H. were arrested on suspicion of ties to the killer.

An investigation by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) found that a doomsday prepper network *Nordkreuz* (German: Northern Cross) had ammunition, firearms, and body bags, as well as "kill lists" for politicians after acquisition of a database of 25,000 names, which they shared on the messaging app Telegram.
