# New York University College of Dentistry

The New York University **College of Dentistry** is the dentistry school of New York University. As the third oldest dentistry school in the United States, it offers both graduate programs and clinical training in oral healthcare.

## History

The College of Dentistry was founded in 1865 as the "New York College of Dentistry." It merged with NYU in 1925. NYU Dentistry is the third oldest continuously operating and the largest dental school in the United States. In 1957, the College moved into its present home on First Avenue, which in 1965 was named the *K. B. Weissman Clinical Science Building*. In 1978, the *Arnold and Marie Schwartz Hall of Dental Sciences* was completed. In 1987, New York University dedicated the David B. Kriser Dental Center. In 2002, the *Leonard I. Bluestone Center for Clinical Research* opened - the only dental school-based research center that provides beds for 24-hour patient monitoring. In fall of 2005, NYU's Division of Nursing moved from the Steinhardt School of Education to form the College of Nursing within the College of Dentistry. In 2015, a new joint 170,000 square foot building for Dentistry, Nursing, and the Bioengineering Institute was opened. In aggregate, the College of Dentistry occupies 27 floors distributed among five buildings.

## Facilities

The College of Dentistry is located on First Avenue between East 24th and 26th Streets, about 6 blocks south of the NYU School of Medicine. The College's facilities include the *Schwartz Hall of Dental Sciences,* the *K. B. Weissman Clinical Science Building*, the new 13 floor interdisciplinary building at 433 First Avenue, four newly renovated floors at 137 25th Street, and one floor at 380 First Avenue. These house classrooms, patient clinics, research and teaching facilities, and administrative offices, as well as a state-of-the-art Learning Commons for dentistry, dental hygiene, nursing, and engineering students and an Executive Conference Suite. Clinical facilities include 506 dental operatories. The operatories are designed in modules, each containing a waiting room, offices, X-ray facilities, and a seminar room for instruction and consultation. These facilities enable the College to provide oral health care for thousands of New Yorkers. The address shown in the caption for the figure below is incorrect, the building shown is on East 24th street, not East 25th street.

## Library

The College of Dentistry maintains one of the largest rare book dental libraries, close to 1000 volumes, the legacy of Dr. Bernhard Wolf Weinberger, a dental historian, orthodontist and a faculty member in the 1930s. Its collection includes a first edition of the Pierre Fauchard *Le Chirurgien Dentist* (1728), one second edition (1746) and a third edition (1786). Other volumes include works by Bartolomeo Eustachio, 1563 edition of *De Libellus de Dentibus*, 1546 and 1547 editions of Artzneybuch (The Little Medicinal Book for All Kinds of Diseases and Infirmities of the Teeth), one of the first German dentally-related book. The original library, founded in 1909 and named the *Waldmann Memorial Library* in 1978 was digitized and modernized in 2015. The College of Dentistry has moved its "library" into the newly opened Dental-Nursing-Biomaterials joint interprofessional building at 433 First Avenue. The building has a large study area for all students but it no longer houses books. The students have 24 hour access to the study area.

## E-Curriculum

Since 2001, NYU Dentistry has replaced traditional textbooks with a collection of digitalized textbooks. All required materials are available to students through a computer-enhanced curriculum. The new technology gives each student a license for all of the textbooks in the curriculum. In addition to traditional textbook content, students are able to view slide presentations and video streams of lab and clinical procedures and do full text searches on their materials.

# Smart highway

**Smart highways** and **smart roads** are highways and roads that incorporate electronic technologies. They are used to improve the operation of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), for traffic lights and street lighting, and for monitoring the condition of the road, as well as traffic levels and the speed of vehicles.

## Intelligent transportation systems

Intelligent transportation systems usually refer to the use of information and communication technologies (rather than innovations in the construction of the roadway) in the field of road transport, infrastructure, vehicles, and users, and in traffic management and mobility management, as well as for interfaces with other modes of transportation.

## Vehicle infrastructure integration

## Structural health monitoring

## Solar road panels

### Purpose

The principal idea of solar road panels is to utilize the space occupied by the roads to generate electricity via photovoltaic panels installed in place of a conventional concrete or asphalt road surface. Other functions for solar road panels have since then been proposed. One proposition is its use to power LED lights for creating dynamic road markings, such as lane markings, or warning messages such as “Reduce Speed” signs. Another function that has been proposed is using it to power heating elements that produce sufficient energy to clear ice and snow from roadways. It has also been suggested that they could power wireless charging technology to recharge the batteries of electric vehicles that drive over the panels.

### Criticism

Critics have highlighted that solar roadways would be more expensive, due to the cost of panels and the required extensive maintenance associated. Furthermore, they have argued they are less productive than more conventional forms of solar power infrastructure, as the panels cannot be angled towards the Sun, requiring thicker glass to withstand the weight of traffic and lack of cooling of the panels.

### Tests

An experimental 1-kilometer road in France called Wattway, the longest solar road in the world, inaugurated in December 2016 by Segolene Royal, the Minister of the Environment, fell apart by August 2018. Described as a fiasco by *Le Monde*, it produced half of the electricity expected, created bothersome noises from traffic, and deteriorated substantially over two years.

## Vehicle charging

### Conductive

Electric road technologies which power and charge electric vehicles while driving were assessed in Sweden from 2013. The assessment was scheduled to conclude in 2022. The first standard for electrical equipment on board a vehicle powered by a rail electric road system (ERS), CENELEC Technical Standard 50717, has been approved in late 2022. Following standards, encompassing "full interoperability" and a "unified and interoperable solution" for ground-level power supply, are scheduled to be published by the end 2024, detailing complete "specifications for communication and power supply through conductive rails embedded in the road". The first permanent electric road in Sweden is planned to be completed by 2026 on a section of the E20 route between Hallsberg and Örebro, followed by an expansion of further 3000 kilometers of electric roads by 2045.

### Inductive

The Online Electric Vehicle developed by KAIST, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, uses inductive vehicle charging. Its system has inductive coils built into the road that delivers power to receivers mounted on the underside of electric vehicles. Commercialization of the technology has not been successful, leading to a controversy over the continued public funding of the technology in 2019. The German company IAV developed similar technology in 2009. As of 2021, companies such as Magment, Electreon, and IPT are currently developing dynamic inductive coil charging technologies. Additionally, IPT is developing a system that uses inductive rails instead of coils, as the current standards which use coils that were deemed "extremely expensive" for dynamic charging, according to its CEO.

## Usage for road markings

The *Smart Highway* concept developed by Studio Roosegaarde and the infrastructure management group Heijmans in the Netherlands incorporated photo-luminescent paint for road markings, which absorb light during the day then glow for a period up to 10 hours. In its first design, the *Glowing Lines* charge during the daytime and glows for several hours at night to create a positive highway experience and increase safety. In April 2014, a pilot stretch of highway in Brabant, Netherlands was officially opened, demonstrating the technology. After two weeks, the paint had stopped glowing due to damage from moisture.

### Frost protection and melting snow, ice

Snowmelt systems using electricity or hot water to heat roads and pavements have been installed in various locations.

Solar Roadways has proposed including a snowmelt system with their photovoltaic road panels, since the panels already have electrical power connections for harvesting photovoltaic power. Critics point to the very large energy requirements of such a system (much greater than the energy collected by the roadway in ideal conditions).

ICAX Limited of London's "Interseasonal Heat Capture" technology captures solar energy in thermal banks and releases it back under a roadway, heating it and keeping the asphalt free of ice.

# Émilienne Moreau-Evrard

**Émilienne Moreau-Evrard** (4 June 1898 – 5 January 1971) was a French heroine of World War I, a high-profile female member of the "Brutus" Resistance network during World War II and later, a member of the Provisional Consultative Assembly. Moreover, she is one of only six women recipients of the Ordre de la Libération.

## Life

Émilienne Moreau was born on 4 June 1898 at Wingles, in the Pas-de-Calais département.

Shortly before the Germans invaded France in August 1914, her father Henri, a recently retired coal mining foreman, opened a grocery store in Loos, close to Lens. Émilienne, then 16 years old, was studying for her teacher's certification.

## World War I

Émilienne Moreau witnessed the German invasion and the subsequent takeover of Loos. The French tried to take back the town but gave up in October 1914. After her father was arrested by the Germans for violating their strict curfew, Émilienne managed to get him released, but he died in December.

In February 1915, she created an improvised school for the local children in an abandoned house.

On 25 September 1915, Scottish soldiers of the Black Watch counter-attacked her village. Émilienne, only 17 years old, met with them to give soldiers the precise location of the Germans' position in a small, impregnable fort. Thanks to this information the Scottish soldiers were able to avoid the fort, which reduced the German effectiveness in this area of the battlefield and resulted in only a few casualties. Further to this attack, Émilienne organised a first aid post in her house, with the help of a Scottish doctor, to take care of the wounded.

As the Germans tried to retake the village, Émilienne saved a British soldier who was under fire. With the help of some wounded British soldiers, she threw grenades into the cellar of a neighboring house and killed the German soldiers who were hiding there. She later also shot two German soldiers. Eventually the village came under the sole control of the Allies.

After being evacuated, she was awarded the Croix de guerre with an army acknowledgement given directly by Marshal Ferdinand Foch, as well as the Croix du Combattant, given by the French Army.

She was also recognised by the British Army, who awarded her the Military Medal, the Royal Red Cross (first class), and the Venerable Order of Saint John. The Venerable Order of Saint John has only rarely been given to a woman.

Émilienne was personally invited to meet the President of the French Republic Raymond Poincaré, as well as the King of the United Kingdom, King George V.

The French newspaper *Le Petit Parisien* wrote about her exploits in detail, which made her a national hero. The army and the press used her image, along with descriptions comparing her to Joan of Arc to improve the morale of both civilians and soldiers.

An Australian-made movie entitled *The Joan of Arc of Loos* (1916) also recounted her accomplishments, but it received much criticism for the title's use of such a revered name.

After she graduated, she ended the war with a teaching position in a boys' school in Paris.

After the war had ended, she returned to Pas-de-Calais in the north of France, where she married socialist activist Just Evrard in 1932. In 1934 she was appointed as the General Secretary of the Women's Socialist Movement, in Pas-de-Calais.

## World War II

When World War II was declared, Émilienne was living with her husband, Just Evrard, and their two children, Raoul and Roger, in the French commune of Lens. They fled from the war zone, as did many others in northern France, but after the French Armistice she and her family returned to Lens.

Émilienne, who was famous for her former military actions during World War I, was placed under house arrest in Lillers. She was, however, eventually permitted to return home to Lens, where she started to distribute propaganda brochures against Marshal Philippe Pétain and his capitulation. She also made contact with the British Intelligence Service, providing them with crucial information. At the end of 1940, Emillienne and her husband created a secret section within the socialist party in Lens.

Émilienne Moreau is known in the French resistance under two names: “Jeanne Poirier” and “Émilienne la Blonde”. She was in charge of linking “Brutus” in Switzerland with the French *Comité d'action socialiste*, known as CAS (in English: Socialist Action Committee), combining this with specific missions in Paris.

She then joined the French Resistance movement named the *“France au Combat”* (in English: “The Fighting France”), which was founded in 1943 by André Boyer. While there she worked with other famous resistance members, such as Augustin Laurent, André Le Troquer, and Pierre Lambert.

In March 1944, in Lyon, she was almost arrested following the case of the *“85 de l’Avenue de Saxe”*. During this incident, seventeen of her friends in the resistance network were arrested by the Gestapo. Two months later, while still in Lyon, she escaped again from further series of raids carried out by the Gestapo. In one of these raids, Nazi soldiers waited for her near her house, and upon seeing her fired in her direction, but missed. She quickly escaped by using a basement in the neighbourhood.

While the Germans attempted to capture Émilienne she tried several times to escape to England, finally succeeding on 7 August 1944. However, she returned to France soon after, in September 1944, to sit on the *“Assemblée consultative provisoire”* (in English: Provisional Consultative Assembly), where she embodied the French female way.

For her work in the French resistance Émilienne was awarded the rare *Compagnon de la Libération*, also known as the *Ordre de la Libération*, which is second in France only to the Legion of Honour. She was awarded in August 1945 by Général Charles de Gaulle, in Béthune. She was one of only six women given the award, and one of only two women to receive it whilst still alive.

After World War II ended, Émilienne became a politician, joining the French Socialist Party.

Émilienne Moreau-Evrard died on 5 January 1971, aged 72 years old, and was buried in Lens, France.

## Reception

Morgan Holmes, reviewing the volume on castaliahouse.com, calls it "\[a\]n interesting anthology of sword and sorcery" and "a good little book as an introduction to foundational sword and sorcery fiction" for which "\[t\]he making of \[the\] *Conan the Barbarian* movie in the early 1980s appears to be the stimulus." He notes that "My main quibble ... is it could have been bigger. The addition of a Clark Ashton Smith and Nictzin Dyalhis story would have gotten it over the 200 page mark. There is even a Robert Bloch sword and sorcery story that keeps eluding anthologers that could have been used." In addition to comment on the individual stories, he observes that "Peter Haining’s nine page introduction is a good one with some discussion on what sword and sorcery is, and information on the stories and authors."

**Vassalli Fabril S.A.** is an Argentina-based company that produces combine harvesters and farm implements, including the brands *Vassalli* and *Don Roque*. It has three manufacturing plants located in Firmat, Santa Fe Province, occupying a total area of 99000 m² with a production capacity of 600 units a year. At the regional level, Vassalli Fabril competes with international producers based in Brazil and Argentina.

## History

In 1949, Roque Vassalli established Vassalli Fabril S.A., originally called Vassalli Roque S.A.**,** in Firmat, Santa Fe Province. Within a few years, the Firmat plant produced its first model of a combine harvester, the *Super Vassalli*. The company eventually launched more than 20 different models.

In the economic uncertainty of 1987, Vassalli sold Vassalli Roque S.A. and kept Vassalli Fabril S.A. Within the next few years, the company began to re-fabricate collectors and produce a combine harvester called *Don Roque*. The company also expanded its product line to include a light truck with a cargo payload of 4.5 tons, a minibus for 18 passengers and a utility vehicle type jeep for civil and military use.

In 1988, the factory was bought by Grupo Koner Salgado, in association with Zanello. The company split in two as Roque Vassalli S.A., in the hands of Salgado, took the old plant, and Vassalli Fabril S.A. took "Don Roque".

In 2003, the Vassalli family recovered the combine harvester factory after paying 6 million pesos as part of a judicial bidding. Don Roque Vassalli's nephews announced that the production of combine harvesters would restart with over two hundred workers employed at the time of bankruptcy. By 2016, the Vassalli family sold Vasalli Fabril S.E. to a dealer network.

On January 1, 2018, Vassalli Fabril announced the dismissal of 52 workers for "lack and reduction of work". The owner, Néstor Girolami, said that the Firmat plant would diversify with the production of mowers and self-unloading machines to improve revenues.

# Murders of Noel and Sophia Weckert

The **murders** of **Noel Milton Weckert** and his wife **Sophia Janine Weckert** occurred in two separate locations on the Bruce Highway, between the cities of Rockhampton and Mackay, in Queensland, on 22 March 1975. At the time of the murders, the couple was en route to the Capricorn Coast village of Emu Park, where Noel Weckert had intended to take part in an organised skydiving event.

They had departed from Townsville the previous afternoon. It is believed that they had pulled over next to the Connors River, between the towns of Sarina and Marlborough with the intention of taking a short break, when Noel Weckert was shot and Sophia Weckert was abducted.

## Murders

### Discovery of Noel Weckert's body

Noel Weckert's body was discovered by a truck driver at around 6 am on 22 March 1975. Shortly thereafter, the police released the statement that he had been shot twice from close range sometime between 4 am and 4:30 am, while seated at the steering wheel of his stationary vehicle, still strapped into his seat belt.

### Search for Sophia Weckert

There was no trace of Sophia Weckert at the scene of her husband's murder. The police believed that she might have been abducted by her husband's killer, and hence began a thorough search of the portion of the highway stretching between Townsville and Maryborough. They commenced by setting up roadblocks in the hope that she may still be alive.

An old grey and white station wagon, similar to the one sighted in the Connors River area, was seen crossing over the Queensland/New South Wales border at Wallangarra. When a pool of blood was discovered in the same area, a search was conducted in the adjoining bush-land. The blood was later discovered as being that of a cow.

A man and a woman, driving an old station wagon, were apprehended stealing fuel from a Brunswick Heads service station. The yellow drum that they had left behind in Brunswick Heads was similar to a yellow drum that the couple had used on the morning of the murder, three kilometers away from where Noel Weckert had been found. As time passed, the police became more convinced that Sophia Weckert was no longer alive, and believed that her body had been dumped in the Connors River. Police divers were dispatched from Mackay to search waterholes along the Connors River.

### Discovery of Sophia Weckert's body

A woman's body was found on 27 March 1975. It was quickly confirmed to be that of Sophia Weckert, after a Townsville dentist was able to identify her through dental x-rays.

Sophia Weckert's body was found near Kennedy Creek, approximately 30 kilometers north of where her husband had been shot dead. The person who found her body was a local Sarina man, who had stopped on the highway due to car trouble. At the time of discovery, her body was face down, and was lying at a distance of fifty meters from the highway. Police said they believed that she had been shot in the back while attempting to run for her life.

## Investigation

Within a week of Noel Weckert's murder, police said that they suspected a prison escapee was responsible for this crime. The escapee had been last seen driving a white 1974 Holden Belmont station wagon, which had been stolen from Victoria two months prior. Police said that they believed him as being armed, and also suspected him for the attempted rape of a hitchhiker on 14 March 1975.

After Sophia Weckert's body had been found, police continued looking for a "jockey-sized" man who had escaped from the Palen Creek Correctional Centre near Brisbane.

On 30 March 1975, police conducted an early morning raid on a house in Wavell Heights, after having spotted the Holden Belmont station wagon at Caboolture. They arrested the man whom they believed as having escaped from Palen Creek, and who they believed had committed the murders of Noel and Sophia Weckert. However, police soon confirmed that they were unlikely to lay any charges against him in connection with the murders as he was believed to have been in Brisbane on the day of the crime.

Police confirmed they were also extending their inquiries to the Northern Territory, after six men had escaped from Fannie Bay Gaol, which had been severely damaged by Cyclone Tracy on 25 December 1974.

The Queensland Government announced on 1 April 1975, that they had approved a $20,000 reward for any information that led to a conviction for the murders of Noel and Sophia Weckert. Minister of Police Max Hodges confirmed that the reward would include a pardon to any accomplice not directly involved with committing the offences.

### Breakthrough

Police made a breakthrough in June, 1975, when they began questioning the two inmates at the Goulburn Jail in New South Wales. A police spokesperson in Goulburn said that the two men had made "certain admissions".

During an appearance at the Sydney Central Court, a magistrate ordered the two prisoners, Raymond John Wylie (aged 21) and Maxwell John Harper (aged 24), to be extradited to Queensland to face murder charges.

Previously, Janice Christine Anne Payne, a 17-year-old girl from George Town, Tasmania had also been served with an extradition order during a court appearance in Launceston after being charged with the murder of Noel Weckert.

## Initial Court Appearances

Maxwell John Harper, Raymond John Wylie and Janice Christine Anne Payne all appeared in Mackay Magistrates Court on 9 July 1975, and were charged with murder. All three were remanded in custody.

Committal proceedings began in Mackay on 5 September 1975, during which Wylie's defence lawyer complained about Wylie and Harper having been handcuffed together, and requested that they be uncuffed. The magistrate refused and said that the two men would remain handcuffed throughout the proceedings.

On the fifth day of committal proceedings, the magistrate committed Wylie, Harper and Payne to stand trial for the murders of Noel and Sophia Weckert. The magistrate formally charged them with having murdered Noel Miltern Weckert at Connors River on 22 March 1975, and having murdered Sophia Janine Weckert at Kennedy Creek later on the same day. All three pleaded not guilty to the murders.

## Trials

Two separate trials were held in Rockhampton for the murders of Noel and Sophia Weckert.

### First Trial

Trial for the murder of Noel Weckert began in the Rockhampton Supreme Court on 26 February 1976. This trial continued for two weeks.

At the conclusion of the trial, the jury deliberated for four hours before returning their verdicts. Raymond John Wylie was found guilty of murdering Noel Weckert. Maxwell John Harper and Janice Christine Anne Payne were found guilty of manslaughter. Wylie was sentenced to life imprisonment. Harper and Payne were sentenced to seven years jail.

### Second Trial

Trial for the murder of Sophia Weckert was held in Rockhampton in February, 1977. After hearing the evidence, the jury deliberated for five hours before returning their verdicts on 23 February 1977.

Raymond John Wylie and Maxwell John Harper were both found guilty of murdering Sophia Weckert. Janice Christine Anne Payne was found guilty of manslaughter. Wylie and Harper were sentenced to life imprisonment. Payne was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment, partly concurrent with the original seven years that she had received at the previous trial.

### Appeals

Harper and Payne appealed against their respective convictions for the murder and manslaughter of Sophia Weckert, but their appeals were unanimously dismissed by the Queensland Court of Criminal Appeal in May 1977.

Payne then sought special leave in November, 1978, to again appeal against her manslaughter conviction but her application was unanimously refused by the Full High Court.

## Bruce Highway safety concerns

The murders of Noel and Sophia Weckert prompted public concerns about the safety of Bruce Highway, particularly the portion of the highway stretching between Marlborough and Sarina. Graziers on properties between Rockhampton and Mackay called for better police protection following numerous violent incidents.

After the reports of Noel Weckert's murder, Minister for Northern Development Rex Patterson publicly stated that he always traveled along the highway with a loaded rifle to ensure his own protection. It was a statement similar to the one he had originally made in 1967, wherein he had said that the stretch of road between Marlborough and Sarina was becoming renowned as "death alley" owing to the frequent occurrence of murders, shootings and ambushes.

In response to these concerns, the police in Rockhampton said that they had received orders to maintain patrols for at least 18 hours a day on the highway between Marlborough and Sarina. A police officer would be sent to Marlborough to patrol the highway between Marlborough and Lotus Creek, while another police officer from Sarina would patrol the northern section.

Due to the high frequency of crime, the highway also earned the nickname "The Badlands". The highway between Marlborough and Sarina was realigned in 1982, and the sealed road which had served as the Bruce Highway at the time of the Weckert murders is now known as Marlborough-Sarina Road.

text:
# Zilveren Kruis-class corvette

The ***Zilveren Kruis* class** was a class of two steam-powered corvettes of the Royal Netherlands Navy. The class comprised *Zilveren Kruis* and *Van Galen*.

## Background

The career officer Willem Huyssen van Kattendijke became Secretary for the Navy on 14 March 1861. He wanted to have a fleet centered on screw frigates. The March 1862 Battle of Hampton Roads then showed that these were defenseless against armored ships. It put a temporary an end to plans to build new wooden steam frigates. In the 1864 Shimonoseki Campaign unarmored Dutch ships then performed quite well. It led some to believe that armored ships might not be that important in the colonies.

The secretary for the navy therefore started the first ship of the *Anna Paulowna* class in 1864. It was supposed to be a class of *Kuilkorvetten*, a corvette that had its main battery below the upper deck. Later on these would be dubbed as "steam frigates". Considering that their size of 3,398 t made them bigger than most frigates in the Royal Netherlands Navy, this was a better designation. On 1 June 1866 G.C.C. Pels Rijcken became the new secretary for the navy. He made a radical choice to build an armored fleet.

As a consequence of the choice for an armored fleet the new secretary for the navy canceled the *Anna Paulowna* class and the *Watergeus* class. This meant that of the former only one ship would be finished, and that the third ship of the *Watergeus* class would be canceled. In the meantime, many ships of the previous classes that were stationed in the Dutch East Indies would become unfit for service. Therefore, the secretary had to order some new ships. For this he fell back on the design of the *Djambi* class. He ordered some ships of the type "improved *Djambi*".

## Characteristics

The *Zilveren Kruis* class were a class of steam corvettes. The official Dutch classification was *Schroefstoomschip 1e klas*. It translates as screw steam ship 1st class, and was an administrative designation that could be changed as other types of screw steamships (dis)appeared. The *Zilveren Kruis* was the last class of wooden corvettes that the Dutch navy would build.

### An improved *Djambi*

The *Zilveren Kruis* class was based on the design of the *Djambi* class. The *Zilveren Kruis* class was therefore also called "type *Djambi*", or more often "type improved *Djambi*". There were some very solid reasons to do this. Naval Secretary Lotsy had ordered the construction of the *Djambi*s. His successor Huyssen van Kattendijke had stopped the *Djambi* program and started the *Anna Paulowna* and *Watergeus* classes. When Pels Rijcken succeeded to the office it was obvious that he would not make himself popular if he started yet another type of ship.

The discontinuation of the *Djambi* class by Huyssen van Kattendijke alone is enough to classify the *Zilveren Kruis* as a separate (sub)class of ships. A closer look at the *Zilveren Kruis*' armament and propulsion shows a clear difference between the classes. While the *Djambi* was outrun and outgunned by English steam corvettes, the same could not be said about the *Zilveren Kruis*. Her propulsion and armament were almost in line with the ships of the Great Powers. In 1873 an anonymous writer stated:

> The screw steam ships 1st class, type 'Zilveren Kruis' are excellent sailing ships, and good steamers. They are heavily armed, and have a medium sized crew of 225 men. All these characteristics make them very suitable to represent the Netherlands on all seas of the world. Composite construction would be very desirable for these kind of ships.

### Dimensions

The *Zilveren Kruis* class was 59 meters (193 ft 7 in) long, one meter (3 ft 3 in) longer than the *Djambi* class. The draft of 5.5 m (18 ft 1 in) was the same, but had more to do with being able to enter the harbor at Surabaya in all tides. The width was 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) wider, probably to prevent the problems the *Djambi* had with having enough space to use her guns. With 2,160 t vs 2,030 t the *Zilveren Kruis* class was not that much larger than the *Djambi*s.

### Propulsion

The first real improvement that the *Zilveren Kruis* brought was in its machinery. With 280 nominal horsepower *Zilveren Kruis* had only 30 nominal horsepower more than the *Djambi* or the *Vice-Admiral Koopman* class. In indicated horsepower however, the difference was dramatic: 1,480 ihp (1,100 kW) verus 700 ihp (520 kW). The effect was that the *Zilveren Kruis* had a maximum speed of 10.5 knots (19.4 km/h; 12.1 mph), two knots (3.7 km/h; 2.3 mph) more than the *Djambi*.

This success came at a price for the factory Van Vlissingen en Dudok van Heel, later Koninklijke Fabriek van Stoom- en andere Werktuigen. While testing the machine, the screw did not achieve the projected number of turns per minute. The *Zilveren Kruis* did attain the designed speed, but the factory was nevertheless forced to pay a fine of 22,000 guilders When a machine for the *Van Galen* had to be acquired, the navy decided to transplant the machines of the *Zoutman*. This brought the speed of *Van Galen* down to the 8.5 knots (15.7 km/h; 9.8 mph) of the *Djambi*s.

### Armament

The *Zilveren Kruis* class was armed with four Armstrong 18 cm RML guns, and eight rifled muzzle loaders of 16 cm. The 18 cm (7.1 in) guns were positioned aft on pivots. The 16 cm (6.3 in) guns more forward. The 18 cm Armstrong guns were able to penetrate armored ships. For the 16 cm guns this was rather doubtful.

The arms of the *Zilveren Kruis* were later replaced. When she was retired in October 1888 she had ten 12 cm breech loaders. *Van Galen* also started with four Armstrong 18 cm RMLs, and eight rifled muzzle loaders of 16 cm.

## Construction

Both ships were built at the *Rijkswerf* in Amsterdam.

### *Zilveren Kruis*

The *Zilveren Kruis* was laid down on 18 June 1865 as the *Anna Paulowna*, the second ship of the *Anna Paulowna* class. In July 1865, the *Anna Paulowna* was mentioned as being 80 m (262 ft 6 in) long. In the first half of 1866, the construction of the *Anna Paulowna* was stopped. In February 1867 the secretary for the navy mentioned that the *Anna Paulowna* could perhaps be made into a somewhat altered *Djambi*, especially because the wood that had been used would otherwise go to waste.

On 20 March 1867, the name of the first ship of the *Anna Paulowna* class, that is the *Van Galen*, was changed to 'Anna Paulowna', before the ship was launched at Amsterdam. On 11 April 1867 the second ship of the *Anna Paulowna* class was renamed to *Zilveren Kruis* In September 1867, there was an announcement that the "*Van Galen* type ship" that had been laid down earlier, would not be finished, but that later in 1867 a "changed type *Djambi*" would be laid down. The name would be *Zilveren Kruis*, and its construction would include the scantlings of the ship that had been laid down earlier. The re-use of the scantlings is in line with the earlier story. As yet there is no confirmation of a new Zilveren Kruis being laid down in late 1867.

On 18 June 1869, the *Zilveren Kruis* was launched. On 21 August 1870 she was commissioned.

# New York Executive Council

The **New York Executive Council** (also known as the **King's Council** or **Governor's Council**), was the upper house of the supreme legislative body of the Province of New York during its period of proprietal colonialship while it was a crown colony. It was in effect until April 3, 1775, when the government disbanded after the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.

## History

The Governor's Council was first convened in 1683 during the governorship of Thomas Dongan, 2nd Earl of Limerick, which passed an act entitled "A Charter of Liberties" that decreed that the supreme legislative power under the Duke of York (later King James II) shall reside in a governor, council, and the people convened in general assembly.

The council, when full, consisted of twelve members, who were appointed by the King, and who enjoyed the same authority as the lords in parliament. Together with the governor, the council had an unqualified veto upon the acts of the general assembly. They acted as a privy council to the governor in matters of civil government, and held their office at the will of the Crown. Privy councils were held at the fort in New-York, at which the governor was always present, but their legislative sessions were held without his presence, at the city hall. The senior member was speaker of their house; their proceedings were not published, and in their formalities they closely imitated the English House of Lords. Messages to the assembly were carried by one of their members, and the house always arose at his entrance and received him standing. Councilors received no salary. The council exercised judicial authority upon writs of error and appeal (which was composed of the Governor and the council).

From 1692 forward, the English Privy Council administered the Province of New York, appointed the royal officials (Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Attorney-General and members of the Governor's Council) and served as the court of final appeal for the Province. In 1735, the New York Governor ceased to participate in Council meetings and from then on the Province's government took the familiar form of an executive (Governor), upper chamber (the Council) and lower chamber (the Assembly). Towards the close of the colonial period, "their duties had devolved upon a few, and were very great."

title: 1991 Ingush referendum

text:
# 1991 Ingush referendum

A referendum on creating the Republic of Ingushetia within Russian Federation was held in Ingushetia on 30 November 1991.

## Question

> Are you in favor of the establishment of the Ingush Republic within the Russian Federation with the return of the seized land and with the capital in the city of Vladikavkaz?

## Background

Chechnya and Ingushetia were part of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. On 7 September 1991, the pro-independence Chechen National Congress came to power in the republic. On 15 September 1991, the Assembly of Ingush Deputies passed a resolution, announcing secession from Checheno-Ingushetia to remain within the RSFSR. On 15 October, a referendum was announced to confirm this decision. The Ingush secession was accepted by the Chechen leadership and finalized on 4 June 1992 with the Russian law "On the Creation of the Ingush Republic in the Russian Federation".

The Ingush feared that joining the independent Chechnya would have meant compromising the territorial claims on Prigorodny District, which is a subject of a dispute between the Ingush and Ossetians. The Ingush lost the land following their deportation to Central Asia in 1944, and then recent Russian law On the Rehabilitation of Repressed Peoples, passed in April 1991, gave them hopes of returning the territory. However, the Russian law "On the Creation of the Ingush Republic in the Russian Federation" did not include the disputed lands within the newly created Republic of Ingushetia. The dispute remained unresolved and this soon led to the armed conflict in the region.

title: Tupla (chocolate bar)

abstract: Tupla is a Finnish chocolate bar made by Cloetta. It consists of milk chocolate with a nougat-flavoured filling, coated with bits of almond. The name "Tupla", meaning "double", comes from the fact that there are always two Tupla bars in a single wrapper. The bars are placed end-to-end. The original Tupla dates back to the 1960 and is still one of the most popular chocolate bars in Finland. In the 1990s and 2000s two variants have been introduced: Tupla White, with a coating of white chocolate instead of milk chocolate, and Tupla Black, with bits of liquorice added into the filling. There were even Tupla Easter eggs available in the 1990s. Despite the name, however, there weren't two chocolate eggs nested inside each other.

# Éric Laurrent

**Éric Laurrent** (born 1966 in Clermont-Ferrand) is a contemporary French writer.

## Work

His work, begun in 1995 with *Coup de foudre*, is distinct from other works of the postmodern generation by a style that could be described as manierist or baroque. Like other postmodern authors, Eric Laurrent practices intertextuality abundantly, using each of his novels not as a rewriting of a classical work, but more as a burlesque tribute to the world's literary heritage. Thus, for example, the spy novel *Les atomiques*, his second novel (1996), plays on a re-reading of the Divine Comedy by Dante. Intertextuality can, in some cases, come more from intermediality, as in the case of his first novel, built around the presence in the hollow of the painting *The Birth of Venus* by Botticelli.

# Municipal Buildings, Oldbury

The **Municipal Buildings** are in Oldbury town centre, West Midlands, England. The structure served as the headquarters of Oldbury Borough Council.

## History

In the late 1880s the local board of health decided to procure municipal buildings for the town. The chosen site, on the corner of Halesowen and Freeth Street, adjoined an existing public hall and was next to the site previously occupied by the old chapel of St Nicholas which, after having become very dilapidated, had been demolished.

The new building was designed by Wood and Kendrick of West Bromwich in the Renaissance style, built by John Dallow and Sons of Blackheath in brick with terracotta facings and was officially opened as "the Public Buildings" in 1891. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Freeth Street; the second bay from the left featured an arched doorway flanked by pilasters supporting an entablature. The other bays contained mullioned windows on the ground floor and round headed windows on the first floor. At roof level the second and fourth bays featured shaped gables containing small mullioned windows. The building also featured a prominent tower at its southeast corner with a clock, octagonal cupola and spire. The clock was designed and manufactured by Clement Pass of Oldbury. The principal rooms were the council chamber in the tower corner on the first floor and the public library on the ground floor. The public offices were accessed from Freeth Street whilst the public library had a separate entrance in Halesowen Street.

Following population growth, largely associated with the local railway carriage works and iron manufacturing, the area became an urban district with the municipal buildings as its headquarters in 1894. A war memorial, to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the First World War was established outside the town hall. It initially took the form of a Mark IV tank which had been manufactured by Oldbury Carriage Works and donated by the War Office. A permanent war memorial, in the form of a cenotaph, was erected by John Dallow and Sons and unveiled by General Sir Ian Hamilton on 4 November 1926. The council was advanced to the status of municipal borough with the municipal buildings as its headquarters in 1935.

The municipal offices continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the new Warley County Borough was formed at Smethwick Council House in 1966. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, which was formed in 1974, was initially based at West Bromwich Town Hall but moved to modern facilities at the new Sandwell Council House on the east side of Freeth Street, Oldbury in 1989. The municipal buildings in Oldbury went on to serve as the local offices of Citizens Advice.

# Zuñi sequence

The **Zuñi sequence** was the major cratonic sequence after the Absaroka sequence that began in the latest Jurassic, peaked in the late Cretaceous, and ended by the start of the following Paleocene. Though it was not the final major transgression, it was the last complete sequence to cover the North American craton; the following Tejas sequence was much less extensive.

## Cause and progression

Like other sequences, the Zuñi was probably caused by a mantle plume \- more specifically, the *Mid-Cretaceous Superplume* event. A mass of unusually hot rock rose from the lower mantle to the base of the lithosphere, fueling a dramatic increase in seafloor spreading rates; this caused the hotter mid-ocean ridges to increase in volume, thus displacing the oceans onto the continents.

Sea level rose in earnest beginning in the early Cretaceous, until by Cenomanian time it was roughly 250 metres (800+ feet) higher than today. This was the time of the great Western Interior Seaway and the widespread continental deposition of carbonates and shale elsewhere. There were also intervals where black shale accumulated in abundance on the continents, indicative of a stagnant water column; apparently water in the polar oceans was too warm to sink and oxygenate the deep-sea, as it does today. Many of these black shales are now rich in petroleum sources.

The waters of the Zuñi sequence began to subside late in the Cretaceous period, and by the early Cenozoic a new craton-wide unconformity in North America indicates a complete regression before the Tejas sequence of the late Paleogene.

# New York Life Insurance Building (Montreal)

Montreal's **New York Life Insurance Building** (also known as the **Quebec Bank Building**) is an office building at Place d'Armes in what is now known as Old Montreal, erected in 1887–1889. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest commercial building in Montreal with the first eight floors were designed for retail office space, that quickly filled with the city's best lawyers and financiers. When the clock tower was completed, the owner filled the ninth and tenth floors with the largest legal library in the entire country as a gift to tenants. The building is next to another historic office tower, Aldred Building.

## History

The New York Life Insurance Building was built by architects Babb, Cook and Willard and contractor Peter Lyall for the New York Life Insurance Company as its office in Canada. The final cost was $750,000. The Old Red Sandstone used in the construction was imported from Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

New York Life selected the site on Place D’Armes because it was near the Montreal business hub. Before construction began, crews demolished l’Hotel Compain and another 2 story building that occupied the lots. The building first appeared on 1890 insurance map.

Quebec Bank purchased the building in 1909 and occupied the ground floor before being absorbed into the Royal Bank of Canada in 1917. The structure still bears the bank's name carved over the entrance.

The building is near Place-d'Armes Metro, and is adjacent to other prominent Montreal landmarks, such as the Aldred Building (1931), the Bank of Montreal Building (1859/1901), the Place d'Armes Hotel, Notre-Dame Basilica and 500 Place D'Armes.

## Architecture

The New York Life Building was inspired by Italian Renaissance and buildings in New York and was one of the first major Montreal buildings which did not use the local grey stone but instead used imported red sandstone. The stone required cutting which was done in Lyall workshop located on Bishop Street. The building has a “hybrid structure combining a frame - iron beams, girders and two sets of columns per floor - and bearing walls brick.” Architects used steel to construct the floors and the roof but employed masonry walls to support the structure. Henry Beaumont carved the significant external decorative elements such as the arabesque in the entrance archway, spandrel panels and pilaster capitals. The ornamental iron gate is by the E. Chanteloup workshop in Montreal.

The building contains eight floors and has a height of 46.3 metres (152 ft) including the clock tower. It has a quasi-rectangular shape and has a land area of 705 m2 (7,590 sq ft) Total floor area including all floors is 6,890 m2 (74,200 sq ft) Interior walls in the small vestibule and the halls are covered in marble and the ceiling has a decorative plaster resembling Renaissance ornamentation. The staircase railing consists of ornamental iron with a finished wood banister.

The office building is located on a corner lot and has façade on Place D’Armes as well as on rue Saint-Jacques. The original address was 13 Place d’Armes Hills but was later changed to its current address 511 Place D’Armes.

Owners modernized the third, fourth and fifth floors in 1952, and renovated the basement in 1970. In 1971, they added stairs between fifth floor and the roof. Subsequent owners completed further renovations in the 1980s and undertook an additional restoration project in 2006-2007 which included adding two residential penthouses on the roof. One of these is occupied by the current building owner.

## Owners

The building’s original name was New York Life Building but in 1909 became home of Quebec Bank. The building was also known as Bank of Quebec building and Montreal Trust building but still is referred to by its original name. The building has changed hands many times and had a number of notable tenants, including the Montreal Real Trust Company, London and Lancashire Insurance Co., the National Bank of Canada and the Société de Fiducie du Quebec. The Société de Fiducie du Quebec occupied the building for six years and sold it to Les immeubles Bona Ltée who performed many upgrades to the building. Akelius Montreal Ltd. acquired the property on January 31, 2020 and are the current owners.

# Municipal Buildings, Helensburgh

The **Municipal Buildings** are based on the north side of Princes Street East in Helensburgh, Scotland. The structure, which served as the meeting place of Helensburgh Burgh Council, is a Category B listed building.

## History

Following significant population growth, largely associated with the pioneering work of Henry Bell to develop local tourism and shipbuilding initiatives, the area became a police burgh in 1846. The new burgh commissioners acquired an old theatre on the corner of Princes Street East and Sinclair Street for use as a burgh office in 1850. With further growth driven by the arrival of the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway in 1858, the burgh commissioners decided to demolish the old theatre and to erect a purpose-built structure on the site.

The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the former member of parliament, Alexander Smollett, on 15 August 1878. It was designed by John Honeyman in the Scottish baronial style, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £4,454 and was officially opened on 13 July 1879. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with four bays facing onto Princes Street East; the left hand bay, which was slightly projected forward and was gabled, was fenestrated with a three-light window on the ground floor, a cross-window on the first floor and a single casement window on the second floor and was flanked by bartizans. The second bay featured a doorway with a fanlight and a round headed surround decorated with a keystone bearing a bust of Henry Bell; the doorway was flanked by pilasters and brackets supporting an entablature bearing a coat of arms. The other bays were fenestrated with sash windows on the ground floor and the first floor and, at roof level, there were two dormer windows. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber.

The complex was extended to the north by twelve extra bays, to a design by Alexander Nisbet Paterson, to accommodate a fire station, a courthouse and a police station in 1906. Unusual features introduced by the architect included carvings of handcuffs above the entrance to the police station and, because he liked cats, a carving of a cat at roof level high above the entrance to the courthouse. A plaque to commemorate the life of the locally-born inventor, John Logie Baird, was unveiled on the front wall of the building by the provost, William Lever, in May 1952.

Following an extensive programme of restoration works costing £1 million, Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, re-opened the building and then met with the burgh officials in June 1965. The police service moved to a new police station on East King Street in the late-1960s and the fire service moved to a new fire station on South King Street in the mid-1970s.

The building continued to serve as the headquarters of the burgh council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Dumbarton District Council was formed in 1975. It was subsequently used for the delivery of local services by Dumbarton District Council, but after Argyll and Bute Council became the unitary authority for the area in 1996, the new council found structural problems in the building and it was left empty and deteriorating. The council had no further use for the building anyway after it co-located its local services at a new civic centre in Clyde Street in June 2015. In 2019, the building was sold to a developer who commenced works to convert it into a restaurant. In 2023 Peckham's opened a bar and restaurant in the building.

# North American Racing Academy

The **North American Racing Academy** (**NARA**) is an accredited college in Lexington, Kentucky. It offers the only college degree program in the United States focused on producing jockeys.

## History

Hall of Fame jockey and two-time Kentucky Derby winner (1987 and 1994) Chris McCarron is credited with the idea of the school's creation in 1988 after he addressed a school for professional riders in Japan. Chris McCarron played a hands-on role in the school until his retirement in December 2014. He continues to be involved in NARA providing a capstone class to the graduating class.

Many countries that have Thoroughbred racing require anyone applying for a jockey's license to have completed a course at a recognized school for jockeys, but the United States does not. In 2006, the North American Racing Academy was formed as part of the Bluegrass Community and Technical College, which is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

While the program is the only college level program in the United States for jockeys, there are programs in racetrack management at the University of Louisville and the University of Arizona.

## Mission

The goal of the school is to provide the Thoroughrbed racing industry with a competent trained workforce. While initially focusing on jockey training and development, the school has expanded with the horseman pathway that provides graduates with the skills to work in training barns, farm management, and breeding operations. The mission statement is: "The mission of the North American Racing Academy is to develop and operate a world-class racing school that will provide students with the education, training and experience needed to become skilled in the art of race riding, proficient in the care and management of racehorses, and knowledgeable about the workings of the racing industry as a whole."

## Facilities

The equine part of the curriculum is taught at the Thoroughbred Training Center, and coursework is taught at the Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) in Lexington, Kentucky. The main offices of NARA are also located at the Thoroughbred Training Center, which is owned and operated by Keeneland.

## Curriculum

Coursework includes riding and horse care as well as with courses in nutrition, fitness, finance, communication, rules of racing, and technology. The students aren't allowed to bring their own horse, instead everyone rides retired Thoroughbred racehorses provided by the school. The program lasts two years and graduates are awarded an associate degree in Equine Science.
