title: Michael Achmeteli

abstract: Michael Achmeteli (1895–1963) was a Georgian émigré scholar, an expert on Soviet agriculture and sometime chief of Wannsee Institut, the SS-controlled research institute of Soviet studies in Nazi Germany. Born in Borjomi, south-central Georgia, then part of the Russian Empire, Achmeteli studied at the University of Kharkiv between 1915 and 1917 and was sponsored by the government of the newly independent Georgia to continue his studies at the University of Jena in 1919. The Soviet takeover of Georgia precluded him from returning to his homeland. Achmeteli obtained a doctorate at Jena in 1925 and joined the Institute of Eastern Europe in Breslau in 1926. In 1937, the Nazi leadership transformed part of this institute into its own research institution located near Berlin, the Wannsee Institut. Achmeteli was made the director of this new institute. He was initially on friendly terms with Alfred Rosenberg and the authorities expected him to provide the expertise on Soviet economy. Under the pseudonym Konstantin Michael, he wrote a book on Soviet agriculture and forced collectivization. He was dismissed as the chief of Wannsee Institut in 1940. During the World War II years, he chaired a Berlin-based Georgian National Committee, which focused on delivering Soviet Georgian POWs from the Nazi concentration camps through recruiting them into the Georgian Legion. After the war, Achmeteli settled in Munich and worked as professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University. He remained in opposition to the Soviet rule in Georgia and participated in the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations.

**Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe sp. z o.o.** (abbreviated **PEJ**) is a developer of nuclear power plants in Poland. It is a special purpose vehicle 100% owned by the State Treasury. The company is specifically charged with developing 6 to 9GWe of proven, large-scale, Generation III(+) pressurized water reactors such as the AP1000, APR-1400, and EPR.

Until March 2021, the functions of PEJ were a part of the PGE Group (Polska Grupa Energetyczna).

## Proposed Nuclear Power Plant at Lubiatowo-Kopalino site

On December 22, 2021, PEJ announced the preferred location for Poland's first commercial nuclear power plant as the Baltic Sea coastal commune of Choczewo in Wejherowo County, Pomeranian Voivodeship at a site called Lubiatowo-Kopalino.

The siting investigation conducted by PGE and PEJ included screening 92 potential locations before detailed studies were conducted two final candidate sties. Two sites in Pomorskie – Żarnowiec and Lubiatowo-Kopalino – were subject to more detailed scrutiny and the results published in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report submitted to the General Director for Environmental Protection on March 29, 2022. The EIA considered multiple reactors generating up to 3,750MWe at the site. On August 22, 2023 PEJ submitted an application to the Head of Pomorskie Voivodeship for issuing a location decision for Poland’s first nuclear power plant, to be built in Pomerania, in Choczewo commune – it is one the key milestones in the administrative process leading to the start of construction of a nuclear facility.

In November 2022, the Polish government selected the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor design for the proposed nuclear power station. In October 2023, the Pomeranian Voivodeship regional authority authorised preparatory work at the site; a construction permit would still be required later.

## Proposed Inland Nuclear Power Plant

A second nuclear power plant at an inland location is being explored to follow the proposed first nuclear power plant on the Baltic Sea coast.

**Geoffrey Lawton Courtnall** (born August 18, 1962) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1983 to 2000. He was the head coach of the Victoria Grizzlies of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) and for the Victoria Vikes of the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL).

## Playing career

Geoff Courtnall was signed by the Boston Bruins of the NHL as an undrafted free agent on July 6, 1983. He played for the Bruins from the 1983–84 season to March 8, 1988, when he was traded, along with Bill Ranford, to the Edmonton Oilers for Andy Moog. While in Edmonton, he helped the Oilers win the Stanley Cup in 1988, after facing his old team the Bruins in the finals. About four months later, the Oilers traded Courtnall to the Washington Capitals for Greg Adams. After two seasons in Washington, Courtnall requested a trade, which was granted in the 1990 off-season when he was sent to the St. Louis Blues for Mike Lalor and Peter Zezel.

After less than a season in St. Louis and at the trade deadline, Courtnall, along with Robert Dirk, Sergio Momesso, Cliff Ronning, and future considerations, was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Garth Butcher and Dan Quinn. This trade marked a major turning point for the Canucks as these players were among the core that would lead the Canucks on their run to the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals. Courtnall then played one more season in Vancouver after the Cup run of 1994 and went back to the St. Louis for the start of the 1995–96 season. Courtnall, in his second tenure with the Blues, scored almost 80 goals over five seasons, but only played 30 games over his final two seasons as the result of several concussions, but reached the 1,000 game mark during the 1997–98 season, in which he scored 31 goals in his last full season. After sitting out the last half of the 1998–99 season with a concussion he returned to the lineup the next season. A few games into the 1999–2000 season, he suffered another concussion, which forced his retirement as a result of post-concussion syndrome.

## Personal life

Courtnall was born in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and raised in Duncan, British Columbia. His father, Archie, had played professional hockey, and worked in the forestry industry on Vancouver Island. Archie had depression, and in 1978 killed himself. He is the brother of another former NHL player, Russ Courtnall. Geoff's son, Justin, was drafted 210th overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

After retiring Courtnall moved back to Victoria, though later moved to Vancouver. He estimated that during his playing career he had at least 20 concussions, and it had an effect on his post-playing career. He began to drink heavily, reaching a point where his former teammate Cam Neely discussed Courtnall's drinking while at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. This led Courtnall to quit drinking; to take his mind off that Courtnall would run. He also invested in a gold mining venture in Peru, as well as commercial real estate and construction. Along with his brother, Russ, Courtnall established the Archie Courtnall Centre for emergency psychiatric care at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria.

## Sexual assault allegation

In May 1990, while playing for the Capitals, Courtnall was accused of raping a 17-year-old girl outside a bar, alongside teammates Dino Ciccarelli, Scott Stevens, and Neil Sheehy. The court case fell apart, though a spokesperson for the Metropolitan police at the time  with no supporting evidence available for use at trial  stated that the police "have sufficient grounds to believe that a criminal offense did occur."

# George A. McCall School

**General George A. McCall School** is a public K–8 school in the Society Hill section of Center City, Philadelphia. The McCall School, located at 325 S. 7th Street, serves Society Hill, Chinatown, and Old City. The school, a part of the School District of Philadelphia, is named after George A. McCall. On September 28, 2017 McCall was named a National Blue Ribbon School.

## History

The official opening of McCall occurred in February 1911; the construction of the building had been awarded on October 26, 1909. It relieved Horace Binney School, and the first principal of McCall, Louis Nusbaum, was previously Binney's principal.

McCall, in the 1920s and 1930s, was known for its "Continuation School", a program for students aged 14 and up, until age 16, where they attend school once per week while finding work. At the time compulsory school attendance was until age 14.

In the 1950s McCall introduced a program of English as a second language for students, the first of its kind offered by a U.S. public school. In 1953 the students in its ESL program numbered over 200 and originated from over 20 countries.

*Black Enterprise* stated that circa 1964 McCall "was mostly Black, neglected and hardly deserved to be called an institution of learning." This reflected the state of the neighborhood which the same magazine described back then as "one of the city's most depressing slums". Around that period wealthier residents began sending their children to other schools. By 1976 the neighborhood gentrified and became heavily white.

In the mid-1960s it received an auditorium and gymnasium, and prior to 1976 it received a renovation. By then the neighborhood became mostly white and wealthy. By 1976 the school became one of the highest-ranked schools in Philadelphia; the student body of McCall reflected the wealthier and white majority demographics. According to *Black Enterprise*, the demographic and academic transformation of McCall was a demonstration of the phrase "The better the neighborhood, the better the schools."

By September 1998 the school, which had 650 students, established a bilingual English-Chinese program to serve Chinese American students, and that month it began hiring teachers fluent in both languages to teach core subjects. At the time 25% of the students were Chinese, and the number of Chinese students had doubled in the previous two-year period. Russell Scott Smith of *Edutopia* wrote that in 2004, compared with other schools in Philadelphia, "McCall already had a fairly good reputation for academic rigor and safety" and that by 2009 it had improved even more. In 2012 Kristen A. Graham of *The Philadelphia Inquirer* stated that McCall was one of "the district's stronger neighborhood schools".

## Operations

The school's parent–teacher association is the McCall Home and School Association.

## Student body

As of 2009 the racial percentages of McCall's student body were 55% Asian, 27% black, 11% white, 4% from other racial backgrounds, and 1.7% Hispanic and Latino. In 2012 about 50% of the student body was below the poverty line.

As of 2005 most Chinatown residents who are unable to afford tuition to send their children to private school send their children to McCall.

In 1975, the student enrollment was 713, with white students being 49%, black students being 45%, and Asian students being 6%.

## Campus

In 1976 *Black Enterprise* stated that there is more emphasis on saving historical buildings in Philadelphia compared to other major American cities; it stated that "in any other large American city it would probably have been torn down by now."

The school received a "cybrary" in 2007a library facility with 22 computers and materials in Mandarin Chinese financed by fundraisers and bake sales.

## School uniforms

Its mandatory school uniform policy went into effect in 2001 when the school district required all schools to have strict dress codes.

## Transportation

In 1993 the school district began a school bus route between Chinatown and McCall. The school is 1.4 miles (2.3 km) away from the furthest point of Chinatown. The district was not required to install the route, but parents advocated for the route because they believed that traffic at Market Street and Washington Square endangered their children. When the district proposed to eliminate the route in 1994, parents complained.

## Feeder patterns

All persons zoned to McCall are also zoned to Benjamin Franklin High School. Previously Furness High School was the zoned high school for McCall zone residents.

He is known for the publication Musicalisches Gesang-Buch, a collection of sacred songs to which Johann Sebastian Bach contributed. Born in Herzberg, Schemelli was from 1695 to 1700 a student at the Thomasschule in Leipzig. From 1707, he held the position of church musician in Treuenbrietzen. From 1727 he was Hofkantor at the court of Zeitz, retiring in 1758. He died in Zeitz.

# Georg Christian Schemelli

**Georg Christian Schemelli** (born 1676 or 1678 or 1680 – 5 March 1762) was a German Protestant church musician. He is known for the publication *Musicalisches Gesang-Buch*, a collection of sacred songs to which Johann Sebastian Bach contributed.

Born in Herzberg, Schemelli was from 1695 to 1700 a student at the Thomasschule in Leipzig. From 1707, he held the position of church musician in Treuenbrietzen. From 1727 he was *Hofkantor* at the court of Zeitz, retiring in 1758. He died in Zeitz.

## *Musicalisches Gesang-Buch*

In 1736, Schemelli published in Leipzig his *Musicalisches Gesang-Buch* (Musical song book), also known as *Schemellis Gesangbuch*, a collection of 954 sacred songs with texts in the tradition of pietism, and probably intended for private contemplation. Only 69 of the songs come with music, a melody and a bass line. The melodies are often like simple arias, rather than like chorales.

Bach contributed to the collection, but musicologists debate to what extent. Schemelli's son Christian Friedrich was a student of the Thomasschule from 1733 to 1735, and later studied at the Leipzig University, which explains the contact. In the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV), numbers 439 to 507 list songs from the Gesangbuch, but his authorship is certain only for three of them, "Dir, dir Jehovah, will ich singen", BWV 452, "Komm, süßer Tod", BWV 478, and "Vergiss mein nicht, vergiss mein nicht", BWV 505. Bach probably wrote the bass lines for the others, and modified some of the melodies.

# George C. Northrop

**George Chester Northrop** (April 1, 1819  July 13, 1874) was an American lawyer, banker, and Wisconsin pioneer. He was an early mayor of Racine, Wisconsin, and established the first bank in Racine. He also represented the city in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1864. His last name is sometimes spelled **Northrup**.

## Biography

George C. Northrop was born April 1, 1819, in Galway, New York. He received a liberal academic education and then went on to study law at Ballston Spa. He was admitted to the bar and opened a law office in Medina, New York. After a period of poor health, he moved west to Racine, Wisconsin, in 1849, and was admitted to the Wisconsin bar.

In 1853, he formed a partnership with Horatio B. Munroe, Reuben M. Norton, and Henry S. Durand to organize the Racine County Bank, the first bank in Racine. Northrop worked for several years as the first cashier and manager of the bank, which was later converted to the First National Bank of Racine. During these years, he also became one of the founding shareholders and directors of the Racine Gas-Light Company. In 1859, Northrop also became an investor in a new bank formed by his younger brother, Byron Booth Northrop, known as the "Bank of B. B. Northrop & Co."

He was elected mayor of Racine with large majorities in 1861 and 1863. During the American Civil War, he gave notable speeches in support of the Union cause and advocated for emancipation. He was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1863, running on the National Union Party ticket, and was nearly elected speaker for the 17th Wisconsin Legislature.

He suffered poor health for most of his life and died of jaundice on July 15, 1874.

## Personal life and family

George C. Northrop was the fourth of six children born to Dr. Booth Northrop and his wife Huldah (*née* Shepard). His younger brother, Byron Booth Northrop, also came to Racine and was a prominent citizen in the early years of the city. His older brother, Henry H. Northrop, was a Presbyterian minister in Michigan and served as a chaplain with the 13th Michigan Infantry Regiment in the Civil War. The Northrops were descendants of Joseph Northrop and his wife Mary (*née* Norton), English colonists who settled in New Haven, Connecticut Colony, in 1638. Stiles Northrop, who also served in the Wisconsin State Assembly in the 1860s, was a distant cousin.

George C. Northrop married twice. His first wife was Sarah Wortser; they had three children who all died in infancy, before her death in 1854. He then married Mary Wortser, the sister of his first wife. They had another son who died in infancy, then had a daughter, Sarah, who survived them. Sarah married William Rochester Banks of Lamar, Missouri, and had at least two children.

Their friendship continues as they grow up, but as adults they start to drift apart. Mina becomes an artist and although she finds men attractive, she is afraid to approach them.

## History

In the early 70s, the State administrative apparatus was regulated by Decree No. (1) of 1970 establishing the State Council, which was then the cabinet. The State Council was mandated to carry out all tasks and responsibilities relating to the administration and organization of all executive affairs of the country, including State finance affairs, namely the preparation of the State budget as well as State public plan for the development of national economy and taking the necessary measures to implement them in accordance with the provisions of the laws-in-force. That Decree was subsequently followed by the issuance of many decrees and resolutions that regulate the Government executive apparatus.
