**Wirt Clinton Rowland** (December 1, 1878 – November 30, 1946) was an American architect best known for his work in Detroit, Michigan.

## Biography

Rowland was born December 1, 1878, in Clinton, Michigan, to Clinton Charles and Melissa Ruth Rowland. In 1901, he landed a job as an office boy for the Detroit firm of Rogers and MacFarlane, quickly moving on to the prestigious George D. Mason firm. In 1909, he joined the office of Albert Kahn Associates, who had also apprenticed under Mason. In 1910, with the encouragement of both Mason and Kahn, Rowland attended the Harvard Graduate School of Design in Cambridge, for a year.

The combination of Rowland's natural design talent, Harvard education, and Detroit's healthy economy positioned him to make major contributions to the city's architecture. Rowland is a case study in design attribution. In 1911, in the office of Kahn, he and Ernest Wilby are said have been primarily responsible for the Hill Auditorium at the University of Michigan. Through 1915, Rowland worked for the local firm of Malcomson & Higginbotham. He then returned to Kahn's office, contributing to the firm's classic projects, namely the Harland Hatcher Graduate Library at the University of Michigan, the Detroit News Building, the First National Building (1922), and the General Motors Building (1922).

Rowland's career peaked as Head Designer (1922–1930) of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls (SmithGroup). There, he designed a dozen major structures in downtown Detroit; among these are a number of the city's most accomplished and evocative buildings. To a large extent, Rowland helped define Detroit's architectural genre. Of the Guardian building Rowland said, *We no longer live in a leisurely age, . . What we see we must see quickly in passing, and the impression must be immediate, strong, and complete. Color has this vital power.* For the Guardian Building, he had assembled a multitude of artisans, mosaicists, sculptors, painters, and tile manufacturers including sculptor Corrado Parducci, muralist Ezra Winter, and tile from the Rookwood and Pewabic pottery companies. He thus recreated the architectural synthesis of a medieval cathedral. Hence, Rowland had reached a climax, when his Union Trust/Guardian Building became known as *the Cathedral of Finance.*

The Guardian Building opened in 1929. With the onset of the Great Depression, most of the employees of Smith Hinchman & Grylls were laid off, including Rowland. In January 1931, he joined in a partnership with his long-time friend, Augustus (Gus) O'Dell. The firm secured a small number of important commissions, including the Victor Vaughan House dormitory at the University of Michigan, Maire Elementary School in Grosse Pointe, and the Mark Twain Branch Library in Detroit, supplemented with reconstruction necessitated by the widening of Woodward Avenue, and by insurance re-valuations of existing buildings.

Beginning in 1935, Rowland was hired by Edwin S. George to design a Gothic cathedral, later known as Kirk in the Hills. The church was to have been constructed on land owned by George adjoining his suburban home in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, however, the funds available were insufficient to proceed with construction. In 1946, George realized that by incorporating his existing suburban home into the church to house administrative activities, the cost of construction would be greatly reduced. Rowland approved of this revision, but died before he could redraw the plans. The firm of George D. Mason & Co. was hired in 1947 to draw new plans for the church and oversee construction and the church was completed in 1958.

Rowland was a member of the Chandler Park Partnership, a group of nineteen architects and engineers that designed Parkside housing project (1935–1938) in Detroit. During World War II, Rowland was employed by the firm Giffels & Valet in their office at Naval Station Norfolk. Among the structures he designed during that period was the David Adams Memorial Chapel and Our Lady of Victory Chapel in the base chapel building.

title: Greenpoint Reformed Church

abstract: Greenpoint Church is a Reformed Church in America and United Church of Christ church at 136 Milton Street in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. As of March 2012, it had a congregation of 80 people. Its fireplace tilework includes historic porcelain plaques depicting Robert Fulton and Robert Livingston. According to a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Union Porcelain Factory in Greenpoint probably manufactured the plaques in the 1870s. The Milton Street building had been a private residence built for Thomas C. Smith, owner of Brooklyn Union Gas Company, and later was home to the Greenpoint YMCA. The congregation has used the current building since it purchased it in 1942. Prior to that, the church was located in its original location 145 Kent Street, a structure dating to 1869 and which later became St. Elias Melkite Catholic Church. The Reverend Ann Kansfield has been one of the church's pastors since 2003. Her wife, the Rev. Jennifer Aull, has been co-pastor since 2006. Kansfield and Aull were cofounders of the group Room For All. The church hosts a dinner and soup kitchen for its local community. The church's food pantry program began in October 2007; it offers groceries to individuals and families, most of whom live in northern Brooklyn. A homeless shelter briefly opened at Greenpoint Reformed Church in November 2012, but a few months later moved to another neighborhood church.

**Wirt Dexter Walker** (September 1, 1860 – April 24, 1899) was a Chicago lawyer. He was the son of successful Chicago attorney James M. Walker and Eliza M. Walker, and was named after Wirt Dexter, the junior partner at his father's firm, Walter VanArman & Dexter.

## Biography

Wirt Dexter Walker was born in Chicago on September 1, 1860.

After his graduation from Yale University he inherited a large sum of money upon his father's death. He began his own practice in 1883, and was secretary of the University Club of Chicago in 1887. He had health problems and became blind, at which point he retired from office work to travel.

He married Marie Winston in 1894.

He died at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City on April 24, 1899. He was buried at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago.

## Blythewood Farms summer cottage

He purchased land in the Berkshire County in 1888 and hired local architect H. Neill Wilson to design a large summer cottage retreat in 1890, hoping a residence in the area would help his health improve. Blythewood was constructed, but Walker died a year later leaving no children. Wilson went on to design several other mansions for wealthy persons establishing summer retreats in the area, including Shadowbrook.

His wife was left with a $15,000 annual inheritance and the Blythewood "cottage" on 450 acres (1.8 km2) after his death. Speculation on whether she would lose the income was reported in newspapers as she prepared to marry another lawyer, Victor Elting. She did not lose her income, but the property went to Wirt D. Dexter Art Gallery in Chicago whose trustees "sold it in 1905 to a Chicago tycoon, John Alden Spoor". Spoor was chairman of the board of the Union Stockyards and Transit Company in Chicago, and sold Blythewood to a group of local investors two years before his death in 1926.

Producer Madlib stated in an interview that Marley was the first producer who inspired him to make beats. *Vibe* magazine wrote that he, "forever changed the sound of hip-hop with his unique beat barrages."

## Early career

Marley's career started with an interest in electronica. As a young intern at Unique Recording Studios in the early 1980s, he had an opportunity to experiment with very expensive samplers like the Fairlight CMI. One day during a studio session with an artist named Captain Rock he discovered sampling by accident.

> "I was actually trying to get a riff off of a record. I made a mistake and got the snare in there before the sound came. I was truncating the vocal part but the snare was playing with the beat — we was truncating while the beat was playing. Thank God the beat was playing, because it probably wouldn't have happened if the beat wasn't playing. So I was playing it and the snare sounded better than the snare that I had from the drum machine when I was popping it."

A short time later pioneering hip-hop radio DJ Mr. Magic heard Marley Marl's remix of Malcolm McLaren's Buffalo Gals, leading to Marley becoming his DJ. They eventually started the hip-hop collective the Juice Crew together in 1983. 1986 saw the foundation of Cold Chillin' Records, where Marley served as in-house producer for many projects. He earned $250,000 per year for his production work. The label was also home to many Juice Crew artists.

Marley caught his big break in 1984, with artist Roxanne Shante's hit "Roxanne's Revenge". In a 2008 interview Shante noted how seriously he took recording despite his limited setup. "We'd be recording in his living room on a reel-to-reel and four-tracks. I really just wanted to go to the mall after one take, but Marley always made me do it again."

Another significant early record was 1985's "Marley Marl Scratch" featuring MC Shan. The song was recorded on a four-track cassette recorder and Shan used a mic with a missing ball to record his lyrics.

Several of his early records featured inventive use of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. On MC Shan's 1986 Pop Art single "The Bridge', which later appeared on his 1987 album *Down By Law*, Marley used the 808 pulse to trigger different samplers. According to Biz Markie, the button on Marley's 808 stuck during the recording of his hit "Make the Music with Your Mouth, Biz", leading to sound heard on the record today. Juice Crew member Big Daddy Kane praised his ability to pair 808 drum sounds with sampled drums. "Regardless of how clean or brand-new the record was that he was sampling, or light the production may have been, he always gave it a really gritty feel when he sampled it. He always put the 808 to it and gave it a heavy bottom and warm feel."

In the late 1980s, the Juice Crew gained increased attention from mainstream publications. *Spin* magazine wrote, "they've produced some of the genre's toughest, most uncompromising music." At the time Marley began a streak of producing entire albums for several Juice Crew members. He produced all of the tracks on Craig G's *The Kingpin* (1989), Big Daddy Kane's *Long Live The Kane* (1988)*,* Biz Markie's *Goin' Off* (1988), Kool G Rap & DJ Polo's *Road to the Riches* (1989), MC Shan's *Down By Law* (1987) and *Born to Be Wild* (1988), and Roxanne Shante's *Bad Sister* (1989).

In 1988, he produced the Juice Crew posse cut "The Symphony" by using a Hal Jackson record from the WBLS record library as a sample source.

## Post-Juice Crew and Cold Chillin'

In 1996, Marley filed a suit against Cold Chillin' for unpaid royalties.

In 2007 he produced the entire *Hip Hop Lives* album for former rival KRS-One.

title: OR7A17

abstract: Olfactory receptor 7A17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OR7A17 gene. Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.

# Mozhi (transliteration)

The **Mozhi** is a popular romanization scheme for Malayalam script. It is primarily used for Input Method Editors for Malayalam and loosely based on ITrans scheme for Devanagari.

## Inventory

This system does not need the use of diacritics; instead, uses letter case distinction to indicate difference in vowel lengths and different groups of consonants. However, Mozhi has additional mappings to allow input using only the lowercase letters.

## Features

Since Mozhi is targeted for input, it has features tuned for that:

title: Marshal of the Russian Federation

abstract: Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest military rank of Russia, created in 1993 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It ranks immediately above Army general and Admiral of the fleet, and is considered the successor to the Soviet-era rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union. A Marshal of the Russian Federation outranks Generals of the Army, Colonel-Generals, Lieutenant-Generals and Major-Generals. It is roughly equivalent to American General of the Army and the British Field Marshal. The only officer so far to have held the rank was Igor Sergeyev, the former Minister of Defence, who had been elevated from the General of the Army of the Strategic Rocket Forces. Sergeyev was a Marshal of the Russian Federation from 1997 until his death in 2006. The insignia for Marshal of the Russian Federation is similar to the one for the Marshal of the Soviet Union, with the Soviet emblem replaced by the Russian coat of arms. An officer who is given this rank would also wear the Marshal's star.

## Focus

The Everglades Foundation is dedicated to restoring and protecting America's Everglades through science, advocacy, and education, thereby advancing an understanding of the Greater Everglades ecosystem and its irreplaceable environmental and economic value. The organization is funded primarily from private donations. The Foundation’s Board covers administrative and fundraising expenses separately each year. This allows the Foundation to state that 100 percent of each donation goes directly to support programs to restore the Everglades. Donations provide scientists, policy analysts, researchers, communications experts and other professionals with funding to address complex issues involved in saving the River of Grass. The Everglades Foundation directs some of its resources toward organizations that hold congruent philosophies on Everglades restoration. Foundation-supported grant programs allow collaboration instead of competition with several non-profit organizations to focus efforts instead of working individually on like-minded environmental concerns.

The organization employs Ph.D-level scientists who work to promote the understanding of the greater Everglades ecosystem. The Foundation provides its expertise and research to partner organizations in addition to grant funding. This is one of the strengths of the organization, and as such, The Everglades Foundation is often called on to provide expertise on policy issues impacting the Everglades with local governments such as Miami-Dade County, Florida, as well as the federal Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) project.

## Key personnel

* Carlos de la Cruz Jr. - Chairman
* Eric Eikenberg - CEO

## Fundraising

The Everglades Foundation holds annual benefits known as the ForEverglades Benefit in Palm Beach, Florida, in February, and the ForEverglades Naples Benefit in Naples, Florida, in March, to increase awareness and funding to support scientific research and other programs related to Everglades restoration. The Everglades Foundation also dedicates funds for legal action to ensure the protection of the Everglades if needed.

# Oudelande

**Oudelande** is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Borsele, and lies about 19 km southeast of Middelburg.

## History

The village was first mentioned in 1312 as "in Badickendorpe ende in Oudelant aen die zuudtzyde", and means "old land", because it was not flooded in 1014. Oudelande is a church village which developed on a ridge which was elevated to a *terp* (artificial living hill) in the 13th century. The circular structure was not completed on the northern side.

The Dutch Reformed church was originally dedicated to Saint Eligius. The large tower dates from the 14th century. In 1769, a part of the church was demolished and rebuilt.

Oudelande was home to 547 people in 1840. In 1927, a railway station was built on the Goes to Hoedekenskerke railway line. The station closed down in 1934.

The village was severely damaged during the North Sea flood of 1953. Oudelande was a separate municipality until 1970, when it was merged with Borsele.

After running a test for one year, the city council decided to remove all traffic signs in the beginning of 2007 to improve the look of the historical village.

# A Simple Wedding

***A Simple Wedding*** is a 2018 American romantic comedy film directed by Sara Zandieh and starring Tara Grammy, Christopher O'Shea, Rita Wilson, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Maz Jobrani and Houshang Touzie.

A young Iranian-American woman, while trying to appease her parents and their need to see her settled down, unexpectedly finds love.

Wilson also served as an executive producer of the film.

## Plot

Iranian-American Nousha Hassani is a successful LA housing attorney in her early 30s, disinterested in marriage. However, she tries to appease her parents Ziba and Reza and their need to see her settled down with the perfect Persian husband. They regularly introduce her to conservative Iranian bachelors with the expectation that Nousha will enter into an arranged marriage.

Their plans are soon derailed when Nousha meets Alex Talbot, a charming bisexual artist/DJ. They both participate in a public protest against sexism and misogyny. Starting to fall in love, she worries whether her parents will accept their relationship.

When her traditional Muslim parents see Alex through a video call with Nousha, then at dinner discover they are living together as domestic partners, they insist they officially get married. Reza bullies Alex into agreeing, and the Talbots and Hassanis come together for dinner.

Alex isn’t Muslim, and he has an unconventional family. His parents divorced when he was 16, and his father Bill married another man, Stephen. Alex’s mother, Maggie Baker, is still bitter about it and has given up on love.

During the wedding organizing, Nousha’s Uncle Saman comes to visit the family from Tehran. He is a war veteran who has never married and doesn’t have kids, and gets pulled into the rehearsals as Alex’s mother Maggie needs a partner for the procession. They hit it off.

The night before the ceremony, Nousha, showing signs of cold feet, asks Alex if they’re making a mistake. He brushes her fears aside. However, on the day she panics, the dress catches fire, and she extinguishes it in the pool.

One week later, Nousha’s friends Lynne, Tessa, and daughter Lulu show up to get her out of her funk. Finally, a few weeks later, she uses the excuse of wanting to return Alex’s toothbrush to go to his gig. He won’t accept her apology because he’s still really upset she left him at the altar.

Maggie and Saman bump into Nousha at the gig, and outside tell her and Alex they’ve been together since the wedding and now are getting married. In the days leading up to the ceremony, Nousha does some soul searching, learning to enjoy her own company.

At the wedding, in the Housanis’ back yard, Saman encourages Nousha to keep fighting and not give up. She seranades Alex with Celine Dion’s voice and they finally make up.

## Plot

Explorer Tony Cooper and homesick trader Norton find a skeleton in the African jungle with a package intended to be delivered to Victor Wilkins in London. Cooper takes it there and it proves to be from Wilkins' brother - the skeleton was his - with a map showing where he left £100,000 in diamonds for Victor. Cooper agrees to accompany him to Africa and they hire pilots John Trevor and Carol Reed, who all agree to a cut of the profits. On arrival in Africa, they're challenged by three men - Redfern, Collins and Quincey - who claim to have the mineral rights to all gems found in the area, and by Norton, who also wants a share. But Norton is stabbed to death and Trevor fatally wounded: suspicion falls on Cooper, who's in love with Carol. Carol investigates and finds the weapon in the possession of Wilkins, who wanted the diamonds all for himself. He tries to flee in one of the planes but crashes and is killed.

# Marlborough House, Brighton

**Marlborough House** is a mansion at 54, Old Steine, Brighton on the south coast of England. It is a Grade I listed building. Initially it was built for Samuel Shergold in the 1760s. It was sold to its second owner, 4th Duke of Marlborough, in 1786 it was bought by William G. Hamilton and altered to a neoclassical house by Robert Adam. After being owned by the Brighton School Board and Brighton and Hove City Council, it was sold to a local businessman in 1999. Since then, the building has stood empty and original features have been destroyed, leading to several courtcases. Marlborough House in Brighton is the second most important historic property after the Royal Pavilion.

## History

A red-brick building was constructed on the site in the 1760s by local inn owner Sam Shergold. In 1786, the building was bought by statesman William Gerard Hamilton from the Duke of Marlborough. It was Hamilton who employed Robert Adam to change the house drastically into neoclassical style. Marlborough House was then known as Grove House and the Prince of Wales stayed here in 1783, 1789, and 1795, whilst his Royal Pavilion was being renovated by John Nash. The Prince of Wales (later King George IV) stayed with his friend Hamilton for three days in 1789, and in June 1795 stayed there for three weeks with his new wife, Princess Caroline of Brunswick.

Following Hamilton's death in 1796 his house was auctioned, all the lots together was purchased for 4000 guineas by anonymous buyer, the house emerged again with unpaid mortgage of £7575, this was settled by Lady Anne Murray (sister to 2nd Earl of Mansfield, previously residing at Kenwood House), when she purchased the property in 1801.

Lady Anne was said to have run a popular and fashionable circle during the season. She was also very charitable to the poor. When she died in July 1817, she bequeathed the house to her niece Lady Elizabeth Finch-Hatton, not needing another home she decided to sell, the interested buyer was Prince Leopold, husband of Princess Charlotte, for her to spend some time in after birthing, but as she died during negotiations, it did not proceed. Instead it was sold to Thomas Harrington Esq for £9500.

Harrington lived in the house until his death in 1843, his widow, Martha purchased it for £6900. In 1849, she gave the house to her nephew Charles George Taylor. In 1868, he sold it to Francis Henry Beidenbach, a perfumer in Bond Street, for £9500, his family were the last private residents.

In the second half of the 1870s the property was bought by John Beal, a well-known stationer of East Street, who used the basement rooms for storage. Between 1876 and 1879 he entered into an agreement with the Brighton School Board, which let the ground and upper floors as offices, which then the school board bought in 1891 for £7000 and since in the ownership of the local authority.

In the 1990s, Brighton and Hove City Council used Marlborough House as a tourist information centre before selling it to local businessman Tony Antoniades for £500,000 in 1999. Since then, the building has stood empty, occasionally being squatted.

## Deterioration

Antoniades at first intended to live at Marlborough House but he never moved in. Initial optimism about the planned renovations faded. By 2015, the building was badly water damaged and the original fireplaces had been removed to a warehouse in London, where they perished in a fire. The building was placed on the English Heritage "at risk" list. A representative of Historic England said "Our hands are tied to some extent if a private owner cannot or will not maintain the building – we are an advisory body."

By 2017, the Regency Society noted that 18th century roof lights had been taken out and mahogany doors had been destroyed. Further, an oil-based render pioneered by John Liardet had been painted over on the front of the building without an application for Listed Building Consent. Brighton and Hove City Council issued an enforcement notice for the paint to be removed, only to be overruled by the Planning Inspectorate in 2018.

By 2019, the Council confirmed it was dropping its legal actions against Antoniades because a new planning application had been made which would correct the illegal changes to the building. Antoniades announced his new plan to turn the building into a wine bar. He had previously stated regarding Marlborough House that "it needs an expert. And that’s not me."
