# Moccasin Bill Perkins

**William Henry Perkins**, better known as "Moccasin Bill" Perkins (December 24, 1825 – November 13, 1904), was a frontiersman, scout, and hunter. Born in Indiana, he learned to trap and hunt as a child when the area was a wilderness. He continually moved west to Missouri, Kansas, central Colorado, and ultimately the Western Slope of Colorado. During the American Civil War, he was a government scout out of Fort Scott and was injured by Native American arrows. He tried his hand at farming in Kansas, but yearned for the frontier where he was a hunter, trapper, and miner. He was particularly known for his skill as a bear hunter. He was a friend of Buffalo Bill (William Frederick Cody).

## Early life

William Henry Perkins was born December 24, 1825 near Princeton in Gibson County, Indiana. He began trapping animals in the forests around his house as a child. He developed his own traps and became known as the boy trapper in southwestern Indiana. When he was seven, he was allowed to carry a gun to protect himself against wild animals in the forests. One day he had captured a turkey and was walking through the forests at the confluence of the Wabash and White River when he found that he was followed by a large panther. He threw the turkey on the ground, which was quickly devoured by the cat, and Perkins quickly got into his boat and rowed across the water. The panther swam after him. He completed his 10 miles (16 km) trek back home during which the panther gave up chasing him. In the morning, he and a trapper set out with the trapper's dogs to find the panther. After catching sight of him, Perkins killed the panther, known as the "Terror of the Wabash", with one shot to the heart.

Throughout his childhood, the forests were thinned by settlers who built houses and established themselves on the land. At the age of nineteen, he left Indiana for western Missouri, which was wilderness at the time.

## Marriage and family

Perkins married Mary Ann Hart in Missouri about 1858. His wife, born about 1839 in Pennsylvania, was 19 at the time of their marriage. They lived with their first four daughters in Bourbon County, Kansas, in 1875. Perkins was a widower and a rancher in 1880, living in Texas Creek and Ula, Colorado. In 1885, he was living in Costilla, Colorado.

Their children were: Elenora (born about 1860), Rosa (born about 1864), Mary (born about 1866), Martha (born about 1873), Maggie (born about 1873), Willie (born about 1880) and Almeda (born about 1880). Willie and Almeda were twins. Mary and his daughter Martha were not on the 1880 census. Over the course of their marriage, they had six daughters and four sons.

He played the fiddle at local dances in Colorado.

## Frontiersman and miner

Perkins, a 200 pounds (91 kg) man who was 6 ft 7+14 in (201.3 cm) tall in his boots, settled in western Missouri. He built a cabin and was married. He and his wife had sons and daughters. Perkins hunted deer and trapped animals. He was also a farmer.

While living at Fort Scott in eastern Kansas, he built a house for his family and farmed. Working as a government scout, he went west into what is now Fremont County, Colorado, to watch the movements of Native Americans beginning in 1860. He was among the first Anglo-Americans to locate in the area. He was also a government scout during the American Civil War, working out of Fort Scott. During skirmishes with Plains Native Americans, Perkins sustained numerous wounds from arrows. He claimed that he was so large that he made an easy target.

In 1865, he mined at what is now Cripple Creek near Pikes Peak. He dug a lot of prospect holes there. In 1868, he went to Rosita, Colorado, where he mined and hunted. He and his companions mined above the timberline. When their provisions were low, the other men left Perkins to guard the claim and set out for supplies but did not return. After he ran out of food, Perkins set out during a bad snowstorm for the town of Rosita. He wore a pair of thin moccasins which became frozen to his feet. Unable to get the moccasins off without damaging his frost-bitten feet, he encased his feet in larger moccasins and waited until his feet healed. This is how he received the soubriquet of Moccasin Bill.

His family followed him to Rosita, and again to Leadville, Colorado. He was among the first to come to the mining camp and he built the second house in Leadville. In 1880, Perkins was living on his ranch 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Silver Cliff in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. He was said to have lived in the Hardscrabble area. His daughter Eleanor married John "Jack" Mullins on August 23, 1880. A few days after the marriage, Mullins was killed. There are two theories. One was that Billy Toil, who had earlier courted Eleanor, killed Mullins out of jealousy. Another was that there was a conspiracy involving Eleanor, her father, and others to get access to bullion that Mullins had saved.

He lived on the western slope of Colorado where he hunted big game. He often went on hunting trips by himself, sometimes with his daughter Ella, and his burro. He killed 149 or more bears and was hired by Big Muddy Cattle Company to kill bears and mountain lions that threatened the livelihood of its stock. He killed 40 bears over his five year period of employment for the company. In 1902, he killed a bear that weighed more than 1,100 pounds (500 kg) near Montrose. The hide was exhibited in St. Louis as part of the Colorado collection at the time of his death in 1904.

He was known for his marksmanship on the western slope, as he proved at contests at the Delta, Mesa, and Montrose County Fairs. During his life, he hunted, fished, and trapped with Buffalo Bill.

## Later years and death

Perkins lived in later years near Crawford, Colorado, and he died November 13, 1904, at his ranch. His funeral was held at Fort Crawford, after which he was interred at the Garden of Memories Cemetery in Crawford.

# Will Strand

**William Thomas Strand** MBE (1877 – 10 August 1960) was a New Zealand politician. He was Mayor of Lower Hutt on two occasions.

## Biography

### Early life and career

Strand was born in 1877 in his family's farm cottage at Boulcott. His father was an early settler to Port Nicholson, originally from Kent. He had no formal education and worked on his family farm growing vegetables and raspberries, which were sold at the market gardens in Taitā. At the age of 19 he left to travel overseas, working on a ship and later at the London docks. He later recounted "That was my university education; I learned not to judge a man by the suit he wears".

He returned to the Hutt Valley and became a builder and built two cottages. He entered the employment of Edward "King" Riddiford who advised him that buying assets in land would be a prosperous investment. He purchased large areas of land (most of which is now Hutt Valley High School) from Riddiford and managed Riddiford's Woburn farm. After several years in farm management he returned to the building trade, starting his own saw-milling and timber trade business with his two brothers. Later he managed a pipe and steel company.

### Political career

In January 1921, Strand was elected to the Hutt River Board, and was elected chairman in his first term after all but one of the incumbents failed to be re-elected. He initiated a system for shingle extraction from the river bed, which led to a new revenue source for the region. He also approved the deepening of the river bed as a flood protection measure. He remained a board member until 1929, with a subsequent term as a member from 1933 to 1935.

In April 1921, Strand was elected to the Lower Hutt Borough Council. In December 1921, Strand and the Mayor, Percy Rishworth, disagreed with the erection of a gasworks in Lower Hutt. The public supported a new gasworks in a plebiscite but Strand and the Ratepayers' Association opposed it. Strand made a speech to the Ratepayers' Association accusing Rishworth of a 'breach of faith' which was later leaked and published in newspapers. At the next council meeting Rishworth addressed the matter and challenged Strand to resign along with himself and contest an election for mayor. Strand accepted the challenge and defeated Rishworth in the by-election. In 1923, Strand secured possession of land in the Hutt Valley and handed over ownership to central government. Working with the government he worked to have the land used for constructing state houses. In 1926 they opened and were sold specifically to people unable to afford State Advances Corporation loans. This led to the new suburb of Moera with new homes erected. New railway lines were also constructed in the land, changing the lines from the eastern to western side of the Hutt River. His term as mayor also saw the purchase of the civic centre and construction of a larger Ewen Bridge in 1929.

Strand served as mayor until 1929 when he declined to seek re-election. He was touted as a potential candidate for the Reform Party at the 1929 Hutt by-election by media, however he declined to become a candidate. Two years later, his successor as mayor, Sir Alex Roberts, also declined to seek another term and Strand was persuaded to stand again, succeeding him unopposed. He retired in 1933.

### Later life and death

In 1949, he made a grant of 150 acres of land in Naenae to the Methodist Board of Trust, on condition for the construction of new houses and required amenities. A further 50 acres was given to the Hutt Rotary Club to build a youth centre. In the mid-1950s, Strand suffered an illness that reduced his mobility, after which he spent much time at his home in Melling. He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1957 New Year Honours for his services to local government, the award being presented at his home by the Governor-General as a result of Strand's illness.

Strand died in 1960 at Hutt Hospital aged 85.

## Personal life

Strand's first wife, Catherine Margaret Sheil, died on 18 October 1930 aged 55. In 1936, he remarried to Myrtle Katherine Hughes.

Their son, engineer William Charles Strand, was killed is a plane crash in 1931 at the North Clyde railway yards in Wairoa. The accident occurred while performing a mail drop to the town, which was cut off after damage to roads due to the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake. Strand sued Dominion Airlines for £5000 in damages for his son's death, arguing negligence on the basis that the pilot, Ivan Kight, did not possess the necessary licence required to fly either passengers or goods. The judge found that the cause of the crash was negligence on the part of the pilot and awarded Strand £3000 plus costs. Dominion Airlines was awarded costs by the Court of Appeal, but the airline was eventually forced into liquidation.

# Will Strickler

**William Belden Strickler** (born January 15, 1986) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour, Web.com Tour and PGA Tour Canada.

## Early life

Strickler was born in Bronxville, New York. He is the son of Diana and Richard S. Strickler Jr. His father served as managing director for mergers and acquisitions of financial companies at Morgan Stanley in New York until his retirement in 1989.

Strickler grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia and Madison, Connecticut. Strickler was the MVP for the varsity tennis team at St. Anne's-Belfield School in Charlottesville as a freshman. He transferred to Woodberry Forest School in \[Madison County, Virginia\] beginning his sophomore year. Strickler found similar success on the golf course as the 2003 Virginia Prep League Individual Champion, and Strickler also led Woodberry Forest's golf team to the 2003 and 2004 Prep League Championships. Strickler served as the golf team's captain as a senior. His sister, Meggie, played lacrosse at Harvard University.

## Amateur career

Strickler received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Buddy Alexander's Florida Gators men's golf team in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition in 2005 and from 2007 to 2009. During his career as a Gator golfer, he was a four-time letter winner and a senior team captain in 2008–2009. In tournament play, Strickler earned medalist honors at the 2009 Golden Ocala Collegiate, along with top 10 finishes at the 2009 Azalea Invitational, 2008 Monroe Invitational, 2008 Northeast Amateur, 2008 John Hayt Collegiate Invitational and 2008 New Year's Invitational.

Strickler graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree, in both anthropology and economics in 2009.

Strickler also won the Connecticut Amateur in both 2007 and 2008, becoming the first repeat winner since J. J. Henry in 1994 and 1995. He tied for second in stroke play qualifying at the 2009 U.S. Amateur, with a two-round total of 141 at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He won one match before dropping his second round (round of 32) contest.

## Professional career

He turned professional shortly after the 2009 U.S. Amateur. He placed second at the Canadian Tour fall qualifying school in September, earning tour privileges for the 2010 season. He made 7 cuts in 10 tournaments on the Canadian Tour in 2010, with his best finish a fourth-place tie at the Desert Dunes Classic in November.

In December 2010, Strickler successfully gained a 2011 PGA Tour card through the qualifying school. Strickler entered the 6th and final round tied for 4th, but struggled, finishing with a last-hole bogey to make the cut on the number. Strickler's bogey on the 18th, plus Nationwide Tour graduates Michael Putnam and Justin Hicks placing in the top 25, allowed Scott Gordon and Billy Horschel (Strickler's friend and former Florida teammate) to earn their tour cards as well. Shortly after earning his PGA Tour card, he signed with TaylorMade-adidas for endorsement and sponsorship.

In January 2011, Strickler made his first career PGA Tour start at the Farmers Insurance Open. In May 2011, Strickler contended for the lead at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. He posted a 4-under-par 66 in the opening round, carding an eagle and five birdies along the way, including an impressive 52-foot putt at the 15th hole. In December 2011, Strickler made his first appearance at the Australian Masters.

Strickler failed to retain his tour card and returned to the Canadian Tour in 2012. During the 2012 Canadian Tour season, he made six of eight cuts and posted three top-10 finishes. His best finish came at the Dakota Dunes Casino Open in July where Strickler shot -19 to force a playoff in which he narrowly lost to Matt Hill in a sudden-death playoff.

Strickler returned to the renamed PGA Tour Canada in 2013, making six of nine cuts with his best finish coming at The Great Waterway Classic (T-4) where he shot -18. In September 2013, Strickler made his first European Tour appearance where he finished T-11 in the first stage of qualifying school. To wrap up the 2013 season, Strickler successfully advanced through qualifying school to earn conditional status on the Web.com Tour for 2014. He was fully exempt on PGA Tour Canada in 2014 after finishing 35th on the 2013 Order of Merit.

In 2014, Strickler returned to the PGA Tour at the Farmers Insurance Open after earning a spot in the Monday qualifier where he shot 6 under par with one eagle and six birdies. On May 13, 2014, Strickler earned medalist honors at the HP Byron Nelson Championship qualifier after posting a 4-under-par 68, which included six birdies and an eagle on the par-5 18th hole at The Lakes at Castle Hills in Lewisville. He placed second at the 2014 Southern Ontario Open in Burlington, Ontario (a Great Lakes Tour/NGA Tour event) after shooting 16 under par.

# Walnut Park Historic District

The **Walnut Park Historic District** is located in the University Hill neighborhood of Syracuse, New York, adjacent to the Syracuse University campus. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

## Walnut Park

The park was deeded to the city in 1870 by prominent citizen George F. Comstock. Walnut Park is itself a three-block long park. The long sides of the park are bordered on the west by Walnut Place, on the east by Walnut Avenue. Cross streets are Harrison Street, Adams Street, Marshall Street, and Waverly Avenue from north to south. The park was originally landscaped with shade trees, but the Dutch Elm disease wiped out that overall effect in the 1950s. In 1972, new trees were planted. These trees have reached maturity and restored some of the original atmosphere to the park.

## Establishment of the neighborhood

The neighborhood surrounding Walnut Park was originally established by some of the social elite of Syracuse. Community leader and banker George Comstock, after donating the property for the park, chose carefully the people to whom he sold building lots.

George H. Bond had the house at 304 Walnut Place built in 1899. He was Onondaga County District Attorney, and founder of the still existent law firm of Bond, Schoeneck and King. The house reflects elements of both the Queen Anne style popular up to that time and the Georgian Revival style becoming popular. The house was later owned by Syracuse University and known as "Blackwell Cottage". It is now the home of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.

The house at 701 Walnut Place is now owned by Syracuse University and utilized as the Chancellor's residence. It was built for attorney William Nottingham in 1901. The house was designed in the Jacobethan Revival style by architects Brockway and Benson of New York City. Leather lines the library walls. The living room ceiling is decorated with Gothic tracery. The central staircase is carved. A ballroom graces the third floor.

The chateauesque house next door at 703 Walnut Avenue was built for Crucible Steel owner and president Horace Wilkinson in 1905. Gaggin and Gaggin architects of Syracuse designed it. The interior woodworking is various and impressive. Theodore Roosevelt, while engaged in the Barnes-Roosevelt libel case, stayed there as a guest of the family for a month. The house belonged to Phi Delta Theta Fraternity for many years and now belongs to Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, of which American radio and television personality Dick Clark was a member.

Other notable Syracusans who built their homes in the neighborhood included clergyman and archbishop the Reverend Huntington, A. E. Nettleton, of the Nettleton Shoe Company and Paragon Plaster, and the Denison family.

## Fraternity-sorority row

In 1915 the Alpha Phi sorority bought the house at 308 Walnut Place. Around 1921 the houses at 208 and 210 Walnut Place and the one at 901 Walnut Avenue all became sorority or fraternity houses. In 1923 house at 300 Walnut Place was sold to the Delta Delta Delta sorority. The house at 310 Walnut Place was built around 1925 for the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and the house at 803 Walnut Avenue was built for Gamma Phi Beta sorority. In 1928, Kappa Alpha Theta sorority had local architect Marjorie Wright design their Tudor style house at 306 Walnut Place. In 1937 the house at 907 Walnut Avenue also became the Kappa Delta sorority house. Over the following decades, more fraternities and sororities moved in, making the area the Fraternity/Sorority Row of Syracuse University.

## Block party

Walnut Park was the traditional home of Syracuse University's "block party", an event celebrating the coming of spring with live entertainment in an outdoor setting. In 1993, amid concerns of over-crowding and excessive drinking, the University moved the event to a more readily controllable indoor venue.

title: William Suhr

abstract: William Suhr was an American art conservator who led the conservation department of the Frick Collection from 1935 to 1977.

text:
# William Suhr

**William Suhr** (March 31, 1896 in Kreuzberg (Ahr) – January 19, 1984 in Mt. Kisco, NY) was an American art conservator who led the conservation department of the Frick Collection from 1935 to 1977.

## Early life

Born to Midwestern American citizens living in Germany, William Suhr began his career as an apprentice to a stonemason, "specializing" in stone Madonnas. After three years there, he began studying at the Prussian Academy of Arts, where he met and befriended art historian Max Deri, who introduced him to the art of conservation and restoration. Since there were no formal restoration schools at the time, he was essentially self-taught. Working independently in Berlin, he built up his reputation through collaborations with art dealing firm Thomas Agnew & Sons.

## Career

Suhr's success in Berlin caught the attention of Wilhelm Valentiner, formerly of the Kaiser Friedrich Museum, who became director of the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1924. In 1927, Suhr accepted Valentiner's invitation to join him in Detroit, where he continued his conservation practice. He worked there until 1935, at which time Frederick Mortimer Clapp offered him a job as permanent conservator at the Frick Collection in New York City. In this role, he was able to take commissions from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including an extensive restoration of Robert Campin's Mérode Altarpiece, now housed at The Cloisters.

According to his Frick Collection colleague Edgar Munhall, Suhr's clients included Jules Bache, Alfred Barnes, Mildred Barnes Bliss, Walter Chrysler, Kenneth Clark, Stephen Clark, Chester Dale, Joseph Duveen, 1st Baron Duveen, Edsel Ford, Helen Clay Frick, William Randolph Hearst, Edward James, Samuel Henry Kress, Paul Mellon, John D. Rockefeller Jr., and Georges Wildenstein. Though he dealt primarily with artwork by Old Masters, he also helped conserve works by contemporary artists Salvador Dalí and Lyonel Feininger. Throughout his forty years at the Frick Collection, he kept meticulous records of the conservation procedures he performed, including more than 95 cleaning reports complete with treatment plans, thorough descriptions, and before-and-after photographs.

Suhr retired from the Frick Collection in 1977. He died in 1984, survived by his wife Henriette. His papers are held at the Getty Research Institute. His letters are held at the Archives of American Art.

# William de la Roche (lord of Veligosti)

**William de la Roche** was a Baron of Veligosti and Damala in the Principality of Achaea, and a relative of the ruling Dukes of Athens of the de la Roche family.

## Life

William's exact parentage and position within the de la Roche family is unknown. The 19th-century scholar of Frankish Greece, Karl Hopf, proposed that he was a brother of the second Duke of Athens, Guy I de la Roche, who at the time was supposed to be the nephew of the duchy's founder, Otto de la Roche. More recent research has established that Guy was in fact Otto's son, leaving William's identity open to question. He may indeed have been a son of Ponce de la Roche, Otto's brother, who was once believed to have been Guy's father, or alternatively a son of Otto like Guy, or a descendant of another branch of the family altogether.

Whatever his origin, William by 1256 became the lord of the Barony of Veligosti (*Miser Guglielmo de Villegorde* in Marino Sanudo's history) in the Principality of Achaea. The exact manner of his acquisition of this fief is unknown. The barony originally belonged to the Mons family, but was probably ceded to William after Matthew of Mons married a Byzantine princess and left the principality. Hopf hypothesized that William may have married a sister of Matthew of Mons. William also held the region of Damala in the Argolid as a fief—apparently detached from the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, which was held by Guy—and the two domains of Damala and Veligosti became united under the same title.

In 1257–58 he became involved in the War of the Euboeote Succession, siding with the Lombard triarchs of Euboea and the Republic of Venice against his suzerain, Prince William II of Villehardouin. As he was likely to lose his domain as a result of this act of rebellion, he was promised by the Venetians territory in the value of 1,000 *hyperpyra* in compensation. In the event, despite William II's victory in the war, he was pardoned and allowed to retain his barony in the peace treaty of 1262.

William was succeeded by James de la Roche, evidently his son, while in the early 14th century, Renaud "de Véligourt", son of James and Maria Aleman, daughter of the Baron of Patras William Aleman, is mentioned as "lord of Damala" (*sires de Damalet*), after the family had lost Veligosti (*Véligourt* in French) to the Byzantines.

title: Windows Activation Services

abstract: - Windows Process Activation Service is the process activation mechanism introduced within Internet Information Services v7.0. Windows Activation Service builds on the existing Internet Information Services v6.0 but is more powerful because it provides support for other protocols besides HTTP, such as TCP and Named Pipes. Windows Activation Service extends the ASP.NET HTTP hosting concept. As a standalone Windows component, Windows Activation Service is completely separated from the IIS hosting environment and provides a protocol-agnostic activation mechanism not limited to HTTP. Windows Activation Service allows the developers to choose the most appropriate protocol for their needs. For HTTP, data transfer relies on the ASP.NET HTTP. For protocols such as TCP and Named Pipes, Windows Activation Service leverages the extensibility points of ASP.NET for transferring data. These capabilities are implemented in the form of protocol handlers, which manage communication between the worker process and the Windows service. There are two types of protocol handlers loaded when the WAS activates a worker process instance: Process Protocol Handler (PPH) and App Domain Protocol Handler (ADPH).

# Windows Activation Services

**Windows Process Activation Service** (also known as **WAS**) is the process activation mechanism introduced within Internet Information Services v7.0.

Windows Activation Service builds on the existing Internet Information Services v6.0 but is more powerful because it provides support for other protocols besides HTTP, such as TCP and Named Pipes. Windows Activation Service extends the ASP.NET HTTP hosting concept (ASMX Web Services). As a standalone Windows component, Windows Activation Service is completely separated from the IIS hosting environment and provides a protocol-agnostic activation mechanism not limited to HTTP.

Windows Activation Service allows the developers to choose the most appropriate protocol for their needs. For HTTP, data transfer relies on the ASP.NET HTTP. For protocols such as TCP and Named Pipes, Windows Activation Service leverages the extensibility points of ASP.NET for transferring data.

These capabilities are implemented in the form of protocol handlers, which manage communication between the worker process and the Windows service. There are two types of protocol handlers loaded when the WAS activates a worker process instance: Process Protocol Handler (PPH) and App Domain Protocol Handler (ADPH).

title: Wishing well (wedding)

abstract: A wedding wishing well is a fancy donation box that gained popularity among bridal couples of certain countries, who have often lived together before marrying, or who have been previously married, and do not need any of the traditional wedding gifts. They are also sometimes found at showers to collect monetary gifts for the guests of honor, as well as wedding wishes or marriage quotes, poems and messages of congratulations. Wishing wells at bridal showers are popular in the NYC/NJ area. Most people bring small gifts, such as spatulas or pot holders, to place in the wishing well. Wishing well gifts could be in addition to gifts bought from the bride’s registry.

A **wedding wishing well** is a fancy donation box that gained popularity among bridal couples of certain countries (with one survey done in 2004 on Australia allegedly stating that up to 60% of weddings had them), who have often lived together before marrying, or who have been previously married, and do not need any of the traditional wedding gifts. They are also sometimes found at showers to collect monetary gifts for the guests of honor, as well as wedding wishes or marriage quotes, poems and messages of congratulations.

# Wittusen House

The **Wittusen House** (Danish: Wittusens Gård) is a former merchant's house situated at the corner of Brogade and Møllegade in central Næstved, Denmark. The complex was constructed in 18421864 for Christian Martin Wittusen, a grain and timber merchant and Næstved's largest taxpayer in the years 18591871. It comprises a two-storey residential building in Brogade and a former warehouse in Møllegade as well as an actagonal grain kiln for drying the grain prior to storage. The three buildings were listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.

## History

### Christian Martin Wittusen

Martin Wittusen (1804-1882) was born at Ravnstrup to Christian and Arntgott Margrethe Wittusen. His father leased the estate from the owner. Wittusen was apprenticed to a merchant in Oræstø. In January 1833, he was able to buy the property at the corner of Brogade and Møllegade in Næstved. He mainly traded in grain and timber. In 1840, he constructed a new warehouse at Karrebæksminde. In 1842, he expanded his house in Brogade with a new warehouse in Møllegade. In 1845, he also bought the building to the left of his house in Brogade. He subsequently replaced the two buildings with the present building on the site. The house in Brogade was constructed in 1849. It is possible that the building was designed by Georg Kretz. Kretz had participated in the planning of the new harbour development in Karrebæksminde in 1838. The grain kiln was not constructed until 1864. In 1951, in search of more space for his expanding business, he started renting Kompagnihuset. In 1843, he bought the building.

Wittusen's household consisted of 18 people in 1850. Himself, three daughters, two employees, an apprentice, three male caretakers, a housekeeper, five maids, a governess from Copenhagen and a *husjomfru*.

Wittusen 's trading house developed into the largest of its kind in Næstved. He was a member of the town council from 1846 to 51. In 1856, he succeeded Hatting as Swedish-Norwegian Vice-Consul. In 1859–1870, he was Næstved's largest tax-pauer. In around 1879, he was the owner of three schooners and a yacht.

Several of Wittusen's former employees would later start their own businesses and become prominent merchants in their own right. F. E. Sander started his own business on 27 May 1853 in Ringstedgade. H. V. Tolderlund established his own business on 18 October 1862 in Østergade. Carl E. Bergen partnered with Chr. S. Larsen in 1863.

### 2nd generation, 18711893

In 1863, Wittusen ceded part of his activities to his employee Carl E. Bergen. Berg's business was initially based in Witusen's building. In 1871, he moved the operations to new premises at Brogade 6. In 1871, Wittusen left the management of the firm in the hands of his nephew and his employee P.J. Abildgaard. Witusen remained the owner of the buildings until his death in 1882. They were then passed to his three daughters /two of them married).

### Hans Olsen Birksted, 18731978

On 1 May 1893, Eitusen's heirs rented the buildings out to Hans Olsen (from 1908: Hans Olsen Birksted). In 1890, 1890. he had established a grain and animal feed wholesale business in Bryggergården im Ringstedgade. In 1028, he converted his business into a limited company /*aktieselskab*) under the name Hans Olsen Birksted A/S. In 1928, it bought the buildings at the corner of Brogade and Møllegade from Wittusen's heirs. The firm specialized in timber and buildings materials. A large warehouse was constructed on the baks of Susåe.

### Næstved Municipality, 19782000

On 1 September 1976, Næstved Municipality acquired the buildings with effect from no later than September 1978. In January 1978, Birksted's timber business relocated to Holsted Nord. The buildings were subsequebtly refurbished. The first tenant was Bygningsinspektoratet(from October 1978). Birksted's large timber warehouse at Sisåen was demolished in 1982. In 1882–83, the buildings was again subject to restoration work under supervision ofn Flemming Mejneche. In 2000, Næstved' administration moved out of the buildings when a new offie building was inaugurated. The buildings were subsequently sold,

title: Witty (computer worm)

abstract: The Witty worm was a computer worm that attacked the firewall and other computer security products written by a particular company, the Internet Security Systems (ISS) now IBM Internet Security Systems. It was the first worm to take advantage of vulnerabilities in the very pieces of software designed to enhance network security, and carried a destructive payload, unlike previous worms. It is so named because the phrase "(^.^) insert witty message here (^.^)" appears in the worm's payload. The Witty worm incident was unique in that the worm spread very rapidly after announcement of the ISS vulnerability, and infected a much smaller and presumably harder-to-infect host population than previous worms.

# Witty (computer worm)

The **Witty worm** was a computer worm that attacked the firewall and other computer security products written by a particular company, the Internet Security Systems (ISS) now IBM Internet Security Systems. It was the first worm to take advantage of vulnerabilities in the very pieces of software designed to enhance network security, and carried a destructive payload, unlike previous worms. It is so named because the phrase "(^.^) insert witty message here (^.^)" appears in the worm's payload.

The Witty worm incident was unique in that the worm spread very rapidly after announcement of the ISS vulnerability (a day later), and infected a much smaller and presumably harder-to-infect (because the administrators had taken security measures) host population than previous worms.

## Propagation

On March 19, 2004, the 'Witty' worm began infecting hosts connected to the Internet (and running the vulnerable ISS software) without any seed population. Within a half-hour it infected 12,000 computers and was generating 90 Gbit/s (gigabits per second) of UDP traffic.

## Effect of worm

Once Witty infects a computer by exploiting a vulnerability in the ISS software packages (RealSecure Network, RealSecure Server Sensor, RealSecure Desktop, and BlackICE), it attempts to infect other computers using the same vulnerability.

Witty launches these attacks as fast as possible, attacking a pseudo-random subset of IP addresses as quickly as allowed by the computer's Internet connection. It repeats these attacks in groups of 20,000, alternately launching attacks and overwriting sections of the computer's hard disk(s).

# Wine rack

A **wine rack** is a set of shelves for the organized storage of wine. Wine racks can be built out of a number of different materials. The size of the rack and the number of bottles it can hold can vary widely. Wine racks can be located in a winemaker’s professional wine cellar as well as private homes for personal collections.

## Materials

### Wood

Wood is the most popular medium when it comes to wine rack construction. It is easily obtainable and very workable.

Many types of wood are used. Premium Redwood, All Heart Redwood, Mahogany, Pine, Red Oak, Cedar, and Fir are just a few of the various options. Cedar is popular choice because of the aroma it gives off. This aroma is also its downfall — it can penetrate the wine via the cork. Fir is another popular choice — it also is very strong and comes in a natural cream colour.

### Plastic

Plastic is the most modern material to create designer wine rack. It can be stacked to any shape.

### Metal

Metal is another popular choice for wine racks. Although it is not as easy to work with as wood, metal pieces tend to have greater variety. With metal, more fluid and flowing shapes can be made, which is impossible with wood. Metal can also be painted to match any decor.

Metal racks are a good idea for both short- and long-term wine storage. There are metal wine rack options that focus on more aesthetic, minimalist design that hold fewer bottles than wood counterparts as well as metal wine rack configurations that can store the same number of bottles per square foot as the wood counterpart.

### Stainless steel

Stainless steel wine racks are commonly placed in the kitchen. In fact, stainless steel wine racks have become a complementary accessory to today's modern living as with the abundance of stainless steel kitchen packages and appliances which gained favor in the modern market.

Wine racks made of stainless steel are perfect to store wine bottles in the kitchen due to the material's resistance to corrosion and staining. Stainless steel can be easily cleaned and it may also be 100% recycled. This material has the greatest resistance to oxidation and so it does not rust. Stainless steel wine racks are increasing in popularity because of their ability to maintain the quality and appearance for longer periods of time, especially in a humid space such as the kitchen.

Stainless steel wine racks are passivated in order to get a dull, mat look and electropolished with a reflective sheen, and bead blasted which leaves a texture look behind.

Stainless steel wine racks also come in a variety of shapes, designs and sizes and although they are commonly used in kitchens, they may be placed in any other room of the house. They may also be used as ornaments, for cellaring, or in commercial or industrial operation. Some double as both racks and coolers, with temperature controlled, vacuum sealed glass doors which are tinted to keep out unnecessary light and regulate temperatures .

### Wrought iron

Wrought iron is a good choice for wine racks as it is durable and long lasting. There are many different styles of wrought iron wine racks manufactured, ranging from contemporary and modern to the traditional and antique. Wine racks made of this material are normally used as ornamental pieces as they come in fluid shapes and can become real pieces of art.

Wine racks made of wrought iron can store wine bottles safely at the same time with changing the look of one's home, office or bar. Many of these wine racks may be wall mounted and often they are designed as forms of sculpture.

Due to the properties that wrought iron has, wine racks that are made of this material are the most surprising and innovative in shape and design and as a result, they are often used more for decorative purposes than for storing wine. They come in various sizes and yet it is common that a wine rack made of wrought iron holds only one bottle of wine.

## Specialty Racks

Most wine racks are constructed to hold the standard 750 ml bottles. To hold oversize or different shaped bottles special wine racks needs to be constructed.

Wine racks have increased in popularity among the wine consumers and, therefore wine racks manufacturers have come up with more daring and innovative designs, shapes and functionality of these furniture pieces. Many buyers use wine racks as pieces of ornament and not only as a storage method. Hence, the industry of wine racks has developed, bringing more wine racks with improved functionality.

### Wine glass rack

Many wine rack manufacturers include a wine glass rack in their final product. This makes it possible and aesthetic to store both wine bottles and glasses in the same place. There is a wide variety of products build this way, and as they are made of different materials they may be placed in all rooms of the house, office or bars.

The wine glass racks come in different shapes and designs and they can be hanging or wall mounted or they can take the shape of a wine cabinet.

### Wall mounted racks

These are the wine racks that can be placed on the wall. They can be made of different materials, including wood and metal and they come in various shapes and designs that will fit any decor. The wall mounted wine racks are great space savers and are typically used for decoration and not for wine storage. They generally hold only one or just few bottles of wine since their main purpose is to give elegance to a certain space. The wall mounted wine racks may also have wine glass racks incorporated.

### Big bottle

To accommodate wine bottles that are larger than the norm, big bottle wine racks must be used. The construction of these racks must be stronger because of the added weight. Usually regular bottles can be put on these wine racks as well.

### Cubes

Wine cubes are a versatile type of wine storage. Since you just stack bottles on top of each other, any type of bottle can be stored. This is convenient if many different types of bottles are being used. These cubes are small but can fit a large number of bottles.

# Wittig reagents

In organic chemistry, **Wittig reagents** are organophosphorus compounds of the formula R3P=CHR', where R is usually phenyl. They are used to convert ketones and aldehydes to alkenes:

## Preparation

Because they typically hydrolyze and oxidize readily, Wittig reagents are prepared using air-free techniques. They are typically generated and used in situ. THF is a typical solvent. Some are sufficiently stable to be sold commercially.

### Formation of phosphonium salt

Wittig reagents are usually prepared from a phosphonium salt, which is in turn prepared by the quaternization of triphenylphosphine with an alkyl halide. Wittig reagents are usually derived from a primary alkyl halide. Quaternization of triphenylphosphine with secondary halides is typically inefficient. For this reason, Wittig reagents are rarely used to prepare tetrasubstituted alkenes.

### Bases for deprotonation of phosphonium salts

The alkylphosphonium salt is deprotonated with a strong base such as *n*-butyllithium:

\[Ph3P+CH2R\]X \+ C4H9Li → Ph3P=CHR + LiX + C4H10

Besides *n*-butyllithium (*n*BuLi), other strong bases like sodium and potassium *t*-butoxide (*t*BuONa, *t*BuOK), lithium, sodium and potassium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS, NaHMDS, KHDMS, where HDMS = N(SiMe3)2), or sodium hydride (NaH) are also commonly used. For stabilized Wittig reagents bearing conjugated electron-withdrawing groups, even relatively weak bases like aqueous sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate can be employed.

The identification of a suitable base is often an important step when optimizing a Wittig reaction. Because phosphonium ylides are seldom isolated, the byproduct(s) generated upon deprotonation essentially plays the role of an additive in a Wittig reaction. As a result, the choice of base has a strong influence on the efficiency and, when applicable, the stereochemical outcome of the Wittig reaction.

### Substituent effects

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) enhance the ease of deprotonation of phosphonium salts. This behavior is illustrated by the finding that deprotonation of triphenylcarbethoxymethylphosphonium requires only sodium hydroxide. The resulting triphenylcarbethoxymethylenephosphorane is somewhat air-stable. It is however less reactive than ylides lacking EWGs. For example they usually fail to react with ketones, necessitating the use of the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction as an alternative. Such stabilized ylides usually give rise to an E-alkene product when they react, rather than the more usual Z-alkene.

## Reactions

### Olefination

Wittig reagents are used for olefination reactions, i.e. the Wittig reaction.

### Protonation

Wittig reagents are prepared by deprotonation of alkyl phosphonium salts, and this reaction can be reversed. The methodology can be useful in the preparation of unusual Wittig reagents.

### Alkylation

Alkylation of Ph3P=CH2 with a primary alkyl halide R−CH2−X, produces substituted phosphonium salts:

Ph3P=CH2 \+ RCH2X → Ph3P\+ CH2CH2R X

These salts can be deprotonated in the usual way to give Ph3P=CH−CH2R.

### Deprotonation

Although ylides are "electron-rich", they are susceptible to deprotonation of alkyl substituents. Treatment of Me3PCH2 with butyl lithium affords Me2P(CH2)2Li. Having carbanion-like properties, lithiated ylides function as ligands. Thus Me2P(CH2)2Li is a potential bidentate ligand.

## Examples

## Structure

Wittig reagents are usually described as a combination of two resonance structures:

Ph3P+CR2 ↔ Ph3P=CR2

The former is called the **ylide** form and the latter is called the **phosphorane** form, which is the more familiar representation.

Crystallographic characterization of methylenetriphenylphosphorane shows that the phosphorus atom is tetrahedral. The PCH2 centre is planar and the *P=C*H2 distance is 1.661 Å, which is much shorter than the other P-C distances (1.823 Å).
