This is an informational page devoted to owners and users of these loudspeakers and those interested in history and construction of electronic sound reproduction. These loudspeakers were manufactured at Rank Hi-Fi, Wharfedale Works in West Yorkshire by Wharfedale Loudspeakers in England (UK). They were featured in the Gramophone magazine in July 1982.
This range of high-efficiency (hi-fi) loudspeakers were released to replace their "E" Series of loudspeakers. They were originally launched with prices from £200 to £430 per pair. The drive units boasted a high sensitivity due to care in design and construction. The tweeters use horn-loaded compression. The woofers and mids use lightweight fibre cones with ceramic magnets and ventilated aluminium coils. The cabinets were made out of wood and were marketed for bass reflex. The cabinets have modular front baffles made from styrofoam (polystyrene) with open-weave steel-mesh grilles. Opaque clip-on grilles were also supplied and all the speakers have LED power displays and re-settable overload protection. There are adjustable dials to control the midrange 100mm driver

# Norman Wray

**Norman Wray** (February 18, 1923 – December 23, 2014) was an American Catholic religious brother who worked in Sindh, Pakistan, to rehabilitate drug addicts.

## Early life

Wray was born in 1923 in Chicago, Illinois. His mother was his role model for going out to the poor. During the depression in the 1930s his family saw children eating out of the garbage and his mother would say, "that child could be you." He joined the de La Salle brothers at the age of 19. Wray obtained his FSC from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota in 1946.

## Career

He dedicated his life to missionary work in Sri Lanka, India, Guatemala, and Pakistan. In 1967 he was sent to Karachi to work as an instructor at the St. Patrick's Technical School. He helped set up the St. Patrick's Technical School in Karachi and ran the program for 15 years. He became concerned at the number of boys with drug addictions and started working with them. The Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step programme was initiated with drug users in the school.

In 1982, he founded the Marie Adelaide Rehabilitation Center, a rehabilitation center where men with drug addictions could seek professional help to rebuild their lives. When Brother Norman started the center, he worked with eight drug-dependent men. The centre was opened by Bishop Anthony Theodore Lobo. In 2012 there were around 250 drug users at the centre, while hundreds have been rehabilitated.

He was also involved with paramedical work among the prisoners in Karachi Prison, teaching Hindu and Christian children in the slums and a home for abandoned children.

In 2003, Br. Norman celebrated his 80th birthday and the Diamond Jubilee of Religious life as a de La Salle brother. He also established a Rehabilitation Centre for drug and substance abusers in Sinjoro in the Sindh Province. He was a member of the Governing board of this centre known as the House of Hope. The project includes a Halfway House in Catholic Colony in Karachi to help recovering addicts transition to a life of sobriety. Alarmed that HIV infection was rapidly increasing among drug users in Karachi and had reached 9% in 2004–5, Br. Norman stepped up his work with the Marie Adelaide Rehabilitation Center, with drug users by introducing harm reduction programmes in Karachi.

In 1984, a Drop-In Centre and a Mobile Clinic were also started by him to cater to the needs of those addicts who are on the streets because they don't have a place to stay. The cost of running these programs is 1 million rupees per month for the Rehabilitation Centre in Sinjoro, the Half Way House, Drop-In Centre and Mobile Clinic in Karachi. Donations and patient fees cover around 50 percent of the expenses locally. The other 50 percent came from foreign donors.

On August 15, 2012, Brother Norman completed 70 years of humanitarian service and a special thanksgiving Mass was held in St. Lawrence's Church, Karachi, presided over by Archbishop Joseph Coutts.

## Death

Wray died of Alzheimer's disease on December 23, 2014, aged 91, after having worked in Pakistan for the under-privileged for 47 years.

## Postseason

In the off season Davey O'Brien turned down a salary raise and retired from the NFL.

In December 1940, Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney sold the Steelers to Alexis Thompson and used half of the proceeds to buy a half interest in the Philadelphia Eagles from his friend Bert Bell. Before the start of the 1941 season Rooney, Bell, and Thompson swapped city and NFL rights for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Steelers players of 1940 and before thereby became Philadelphia Eagles and the Philadelphia Eagles players of 1940 and before likewise became members of the Pittsburgh Steelers – with the exception of several players who were traded between the two teams.

# Lord George Hill

**Lord George Augusta Hill** (9 December 1801 – 6 April 1879) was an Anglo-Irish military officer, politician and landowner.

Hill was the posthumous son of the 2nd Marquess of Downshire and his wife Mary, Marchioness of Downshire, granddaughter of the 1st Baron Sandys. Lord George was born three months after his father's death by suicide.

## Military and political career

He entered the British Army in May 1817, initially a cornet in the Royal Horse Guards, promoted to lieutenant in 1820. He transferred to the Royal Irish Dragoons as a captain in 1825. In April 1830 he became aide-de-camp to Sir John Byng, Commander-in-Chief of the forces in Ireland, at the rank of major, but on 6 July he took half-pay.

In the 1830 general election, Hill was elected MP for Carrickfergus, unseating Sir Arthur Chichester, Bt. Hill's brother, the 3rd Marquess of Downshire, was a minor landowner in Carrickfergus; Lord George had been proposed as a candidate there in the 1826 general election, but had withdrawn in Chichester's favour, stating that he had been unaware of the nomination.

Although he was considered a friend to the Duke of Wellington's Tory government when elected, he was absent from the vote of confidence on 15 November 1830 which caused the government to fall, and thereafter supported the 2nd Earl Grey's government and its Reform Bill, like his brothers. Due to ill health, he did not contest the 1832 general election, instead supporting his brother Lord Marcus Hill, who was elected for Newry.

Lord George served as Comptroller of the Household to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1833–34, and as High Sheriff of Donegal in 1845.

## Gweedore

In 1836, His mother died and left him enough money to purchase his own estate and land.

In 1838, Hill bought land in Gweedore (Irish: *Gaoth Dobhair*), a 'district' in the north-west of County Donegal in the west of Ulster, and, over the next few years, he expanded his holdings to 23,000 acres. Hill himself described the condition of the local population as "more deplorable than can well be conceived"; according to the schoolmaster Patrick McKye, they were in the "most needy, hungry and naked condition of any people". Among other improvements, he built a port, Bunbeg Harbour, to encourage fishing, improved the roads and other infrastructure, and constructed The Gweedore Hotel to attract wealthy tourists.

However, his attempts to reform local farming practices, in particular, his suppression of the rundale system of shared landholding, proved unpopular and controversial. While his reforms may have protected Gweedore from the worst effects of the Great Famine of the 1840s – the local population did not decrease, as it did elsewhere in Ireland – Hill's attitude to the famine was uncompromising and unsympathetic:

> The Irish people have profited much by the Famine, the lesson was severe; but so were they rooted in old prejudices and old ways, that no teacher could have induced them to make the changes which this Visitation of Divine Providence has brought about, both in their habits of life and in their mode of agriculture.

Hill's book *Facts from Gweedore* (1845) provides an account of conditions in Gweedore and seeks to explain and justify Hill's agricultural reforms. It ran to five editions and played a large part in the bitter public debates about the effects of Irish landlordism. In June 1858, Hill gave evidence to a House of Commons select committee on Irish poverty; the committee was critical of Hill's actions.

He died at his residence, Ballyare House in Ramelton, in April 1879. He was buried at Conwal Parish Church in Letterkenny, alongside the first Austen to whom he was married.

## Family

Hill was twice married, to two sisters, daughters of Edward Austen Knight (brother of Jane Austen). Hill previously met Cassandra Knight when she was 20 and he was 25. He proposed and she had accepted, but his mother Marchioness of Downshire intervened and forbade the marriage, declaring of her son's poor choice as "No money: all charms!" so their engagement was cancelled. Eight years passed and Cassandra was about to marry another man whom she didn't love when his mother finally yielded and allowed her favorite son to marry Cassandra.

On 21 October 1834, he married Cassandra Jane Knight. They had four children:

* Norah Mary Elizabeth Hill (12 December 1835 – 24 April 1920)
* Captain Arthur Blundell George Sandys Hill (13 May 1837 – 16 June 1923)
* Augustus Charles Edward Hill (9 March 1839 – 9 December 1908)
* Cassandra Jane Louisa Hill (12 March 1842 – 16 August 1901)

On 11 May 1847, he married Louisa Knight, niece and god-daughter of Jane Austen. She had moved to Ulster after her sister Cassandra's death to look after her children; the marriage prompted a parliamentary investigation into the legality of a marriage between a widower and his deceased wife's sister. They had one son:

* George Marcus Wandsbeck Hill (9 April 1849 – 22 March 1911)

In 2018, the branch recorded an annual ridership of 4,849,085 based on ticket sales, down 1% from 2017.

## History

### Origins

The Long Beach Branch began as the **New York and Long Beach Railroad** (NY&LB) Company, operating from Lynbrook to Long Beach in 1880. The railroad's original southern terminus was along the Atlantic Ocean. The LIRR, which had just recently been acquired by entrepreneur Austin Corbin, operated the NY&LB from its inception until 1904, when it was merged with the other lines of the LIRR. At Lynbrook, trains continued west to Hunters Point, Queens, operating on tracks built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island (which had merged with the LIRR prior to the NY&LB service). In 1909, Long Beach station was moved 1,000 feet (300 m) north from the oceanfront to Reynolds Channel, where it remains today.

A five-mile (8 km) extension to Point Lookout, New York owned by the **Long Beach Marine Railway Company** existed between 1881 and 1895. The LIRR bought the line in 1886 and continued to operate passenger service until 1895.

### Pennsylvania Railroad ownership

The LIRR had planned to extend the Atlantic Branch north into Manhattan to meet the New York Central Railroad (NYCRR) at what is now Grand Central Terminal, while at the same time, NYCRR competitor Pennsylvania Railroad was planning to build a tunnel to a new Manhattan terminal from New Jersey. Following negotiations, the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) acquired a majority stake of the LIRR in 1900, allowing the railroads to jointly build the New York Tunnel Extension and share a Manhattan terminal at Pennsylvania Station, which opened in 1910. Also in 1910, the Long Beach Branch was extended westward from Lynbrook to Valley Stream, further integrating it with the LIRR Atlantic Branch and the PRR's new Manhattan terminal. The line was double-tracked from Valley Stream to Lynbrook in late 1910, then from East Rockaway to Wreck Lead ("WL") on January 15, 1927. Electrification of the main tracks from Valley Stream to Long Beach was finished in September 1910, with the freight sidings being electrified between 1928 and 1930. This upgrade coincided with the PRR's electrification and grade separation of multiple suburban lines. Color light signals were installed in January 1927; they were later replaced by PRR-style position light signals.

### MTA takeover

On January 20, 1965, the State of New York announced its intentions to purchase the LIRR from the PRR. The LIRR was to be operated by the newly-formed Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority, today's current MTA. The MTA began operating new M1 electric coaches in 1968, which resulted in the upgrading of every station on the line to high-level platforms.

The Long Beach Branch's familiar orange color scheme ( ) was first implemented on May 20, 1974 as part of the MTA's Form 8 timetable.

### Hurricane Sandy and infrastructure modernization

Hurricane Sandy struck Long Island on October 29–30, 2012, and the Long Beach Branch was the most seriously affected of all the LIRR lines despite a full systemwide shutdown on October 29. Third rail power was lost, as three of the four substations on the line were knocked out. The line between Island Park and Long Beach was strewn with debris, and switch motors at Long Beach station, along with other signal and communications components on the line, were rendered inoperative due to immersion in salt water. Bus service began between Lynbrook and Island Park on November 7. Partial rail service was restored on November 14, when a diesel-operated shuttle began operating between Lynbrook and Long Beach on a modified weekday schedule. Connecting electric service was available at Lynbrook and shuttle buses were operated on weekends and Thanksgiving in place of train service. Full electric service, initially not expected to return until January 2013, was restored much earlier than anticipated, on November 25, 2012.

The total cost of post-Sandy restoration projects on the branch is expected to cost $68.6 million and be completed by September 2021. The projects also include the raising of the Oceanside, Oil City, and Long Beach substations 15 feet (4.6 m) off the ground and an emergency generator for the Wreck Lead Bridge over Reynolds Channel.

Positive train control, a federally-mandated technology to improve railroad safety, was implemented on the line on October 30, 2019.

# Long Beach City College

**Long Beach City College** (**LBCC**) is a public community college in Long Beach, California, United States. It was established in 1927 and is divided into two campuses, the Liberal Arts Campus in Lakewood Village and the Pacific Coast Campus in central Long Beach on Pacific Coast Highway. It is the only college in the **Long Beach Community College District**.

LBCC serves San Pedro, Catalina Island and the cities of Long Beach, Lakewood and Signal Hill. During the 2015–2016 academic year, the college had an enrollment of 33,818 students.

## History

Founded in 1927, Long Beach City College was initially housed at Wilson Classical High School in southeast Long Beach. The 1933 Long Beach earthquake resulted in classes being held at Recreation Park until 1935, when the college moved into its Liberal Arts Campus in Lakewood Village at Carson Street and Clark Avenue.

During and after World War II, the college increased so rapidly that a new campus had to be established. This was realized in 1949 with the establishment of the Pacific Coast Campus, occupied on the former site of Hamilton Junior High School. As Long Beach City College grew in the 1970s, state law separated the college from the Long Beach Unified School District. In that decade and the 1980s, Proposition 13 signaled retrenchment for the college, with many popular classes and services folding.

Also during the 1980s, the arrival of refugees from Southeast Asia resulted in the need for extensive courses in the ESL program. This program became the largest at the college due to a later wave of amnesty applicants.

1987 saw the college acquire neighboring Veterans Memorial Stadium from the City of Long Beach. Even before it acquired the stadium, as far back as the early 1970s, the college was allowed to use its facilities as a practice field and to provide several hundred much-needed parking for students of the college. In recent years, the college has upgraded the stadium playing surface, its swimming pool facility, as well as established wireless internet and e-mail services in 2005.

Bond Measure E has seen the construction of a Child Development Center at the PCC, and construction for new buildings on both campuses are underway, including a new South Quad Complex Building on the formers LAC golf mall, a new Industrial Technology Building at the PCC, and a new East Campus for the Culinary Arts Program.

## Name

Long Beach Junior College opened its doors at Woodrow Wilson High School in 1927 to 503 students, and in 1935, the college moved to the campus on the corner of Carson and Clark. Reorganization brought together all post-high school education in 1944, resulting in the name becoming Long Beach City College, and splitting into the Liberal Arts Division, the General Adult Division, and Technical Institute Division. The Liberal Arts Division remained on the original Junior College campus, and became known as the Liberal Arts Campus. The General Adult Division and Technical Institute Division offered courses at surrounding educations centers, until a second LBCC campus was opened on the former site of Hamilton Junior High School in 1949 as a result of increased enrollment after World War II. This campus was originally called the Business and Technology Division Campus and eventually became known as the Pacific Coast Campus while the Liberal Arts Campus remained the same.

At this time a survey is being conducted to inquire with the Faculty, Staff and Students if they feel that the two campus names should be changed to reflect the current curriculum of each campus.

## Campuses

The campuses are located in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California. The Liberal Arts Campus is situated north of Interstate 405 and south of State Highway 91, along the major roads of Carson Street, which divides the campus in two portions, Lakewood Boulevard, which borders the campus to the west, and Clark Avenue, which borders the campus to the east.

The Pacific Coast Campus is situated north of Pacific Coast Highway, bordered by Orange Avenue to the west, Walnut Avenue to the east, and Mary Butler School to the north. Year round, there is a mild climate moderated by ocean breezes from the Pacific.

Most students, faculty and staff commute to campus. Long Beach Transit serves both campuses, with routes 93, 101, 103, and 112 serving LAC, and routes 71, 171, 172, 173, 174, and 175 serving PCC. Due to the increasing student enrollment, there have been issues regarding parking, and as a consequence, those with parking permits usually arrive early during the first few weeks of each semester to avoid traffic. Recent construction projects from Bond Measure E have aggravated the parking situation, but this will be temporary upon completion.

## Student life

Long Beach City College is populated with many student-run clubs and organizations. The Associated Student Body (ASB), is the largest group on campus, and is the organization that funds most of the events geared toward students at the college. The ASB Student Senate overlooks the independent clubs as well as the men's and women's social service clubs that used to be under the now-defunct Associated Men's Students (AMS) and Associated Women's Students (AWS). LBCC is also known for having a nationally renowned volunteer service program, as well as the oldest community college intramural athletics program in the nation.

There are campus-run radio and television stations, as well as a campus-run newspaper, named the Viking.

Traditional events include Homecoming Week, the Spring Sing variety show, and Mini Grand Prix, a three-man push-cart race tournament.

Each of the campuses has its own Alpha Gamma Sigma chapter.

The campuses were well known for their high populations of resident domestic rabbits, though since 2011 the population has diminished substantially. The rabbits were humanely trapped and spayed or neutered. Over 200 rabbits were happily adopted, while around three dozen of the now-fixed animals were too wild to become pets and have been allowed to continue roaming the campus.

## Athletics

Long Beach City College has 21 athletic programs for men and women. The teams are known as the Vikings, and they have won 16 national and 84 state championships as of Spring 2006.

title: Lophomyrtus

abstract: Lophomyrtus is a genus of the myrtle family described as a genus in 1941. The entire genus is endemic to New Zealand. It consists of evergreen shrubs or trees, noted for their colorful leaves, which are purple, chocolate, red or bronze-green. There are also a number of cultivars. Planting in full sun aids the leaf color to develop. In cool climates, the plant may need to be placed in a sheltered area. They will also grow in semi shade. This genus is closely related to the Australian Lenwebbia which also has four petals and similar though less colourful leaves.

***Lophomyrtus*** is a genus of the myrtle family described as a genus in 1941. The entire genus is endemic to New Zealand. It consists of evergreen shrubs or trees, noted for their colorful leaves, which are purple, chocolate, red or bronze-green. There are also a number of cultivars. Planting in full sun aids the leaf color to develop. In cool climates, the plant may need to be placed in a sheltered area. They will also grow in semi shade. This genus is closely related to the Australian *Lenwebbia* which also has four petals and similar though less colourful leaves.

## Species

| Image | Scientific name | Common name | Description | Distribution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | *Lophomyrtus bullata* | Ramarama | Evergreen shrub or small tree up to 5 m tall.It has glossy, heavily puckered (bullate) leaves and small creamy white flowers in summer that are followed by small, fleshy fruits that mature to a black-red shade. 'Maitai Bay' is a cultivar with especially showy red-brown foliage. | North Island of New Zealand and in the north of the South Island. |
|  | *Lophomyrtus obcordata* | Rōhutu | Grows to around 8 m tall but is more tree-like in form. It has very small inversely heart-shaped (petiole at the pointed end) leaves and produces clusters of tiny white flowers in summer that are followed by small dark red to purple-red berries. The cultivars 'Dainty' and 'Microphylla' have pink-tinted leaves. | It occurs throughout New Zealand except for much of Southland. |
|

## Hybrids

Most *Lophomyrtus* in gardens are hybrids between the two species. This cross, *Lophomyrtus bullata* × *Lophomyrtus obcordata*, is known as *Lophomyrtus × ralphii* and has produced many popular cultivars in a range of plant sizes and foliage colours. Among the most popular are: 'Kathryn', up to 3 m tall, deep purple-bronze foliage; 'Indian Chief', red-brown foliage that darkens in winter; 'Pixie', a compact form with small, bright, red-brown leaves; 'Little Star', a compact plant with small, rounded, cream-edged green leaves that are suffused with pink; 'Gloriosa', an upright cultivar to 2 m tall, cream-edged green leaves that develop pink tones, especially in winter; 'Black Beauty', narrow upright growth habit to 2 m tall, very dark red-brown foliage; and 'Red Dragon', up to 1.8m tall, narrow red leaves tapering to a point mature to a dark chocolate shade.

*Lophomyrtus × ralphii* cultivars are valued in gardens for their foliage and their ability to withstand regular trimming and shaping. Their flowers and fruit, while attractive and sometimes quite showy, are ornamentally incidental to the foliage.

title: Long Grass Quarry

abstract: Long Grass Quarry is a small, disused slate quarry between Tintagel and Trebarwith on the north coast of Cornwall, South West England, which was worked up until 1937. It was the last of the slate quarries on this stretch of coast to be abandoned.

# Long Grass Quarry

**Long Grass Quarry** (also known as Cliff Quarry) is a small, disused slate quarry between Tintagel and Trebarwith on the north coast of Cornwall, South West England, which was worked up until 1937. It was the last of the slate quarries on this stretch of coast to be abandoned.

## Location

The quarry site occupies the stretch of coastline immediately north west of the Tintagel youth hostel and just to the south of the abandoned Gillow Slate Quarry. The quarry workings extend for around 70m in length and reach a height of 59m.

## Quarrying

Men would use flights of wooden ladders to climb down the sheer rock face to the left of a small "box cave" that had been tunnelled at the foot of the cliff. Quarrying here was hazardous: in 1886, three workers lost their lives when the rock they were drilling fell into the sea and a quarryman named Reuben Tinney died in 1936 shortly before the quarry closed.

## Industrial remains

The youth hostel building is associated with nearby Lambshouse Quarry where it served as offices, powerhouse and smithy. The remains of a strip of ten small buildings can still be seen; these were possibly sheds where slate was dressed. There are possibly ruins of some splitting sheds at the extreme south of the quarry which were destroyed as the quarry expanded some time after 1907. Remains of iron handrails, chains and rusty stanchions in the cliff face are evidence of aids for the men climbing down the cliffs on ladders.

## Stone

The quarry provided a source of Upper Devonian slate and Lower Carboniferous slates of a greyish green colour used predominantly for roofing. Slate from inside the box cave provided exceptionally good quality slate.

## History

The quarries on this stretch of coast possibly date back to the 17th century and Long Grass remained operational until 1937. It features as a site on the 1884 OS map and was expanded considerably between 1907 and 1937. During this time, many of the earlier quarry buildings were destroyed. An archaeological survey conducted by the Cornwall Archaeological Unit in 1990 recorded traces of splitting huts and a tramway, as well as ruins of a small 20th-century concrete structure. By the time the quarry closed in 1937, it will have been used for little more than extraction and dressing stone.

## Charles Hambly

Hambly was a "rockman" at Long Grass Quarry- one of the workers suspended by rope against the rock face. On 20 December 1893, Hambly led a party of four men in the rescue of eleven crew from the Italian barque, Iota. The ship had struck a nearby pinnacle known as Lye Rock. Coastguards scaled Lye Rock and Hambly was lowered down the rock face on a rope. Despite strong gusts of wind and hail, he secured ropes to seven of Iota's crew who were then brought to the mainland by breeches buoy. For his efforts, Hambly was awarded the Testimonial on Vellum as well as the Italian Silver Medal for Bravery.

Hambly was also responsible for rescuing some of the crew of the wrecked French ship *Gazelle* in April 1899. For this he received the French Silver Medal for Bravery. In the early days of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Hambly was a correspondent for the Society.

# Loretta Fahrenholz

**Loretta Fahrenholz** (1981) is a contemporary artist working in experimental film and photography. She is based in Berlin, Germany.

## Early life and education

Fahrenholz graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, Germany in 2007.

## Career

Fahrenholz is primarily known for the filmic works she calls "performative documentaries." These films frequently meld genres, and she frequently works in collaboration with her actors. Her work thematically unpacks the contradictions of various social milieus, everyday habits, and contemporary urban life.

She is best known for her video *Ditch Plains* (2013) which depicts the East New York dance group The Ringmasters Crew as they perform among the post-apolcalyptic landscape of Brooklyn following Hurricane Sandy.

## Work

### Major exhibitions

Fahrenholz's first institutional solo exhibition entitled *3 Frauen* was held at the Kunsthalle Zürich in 2015. The exhibition included, among others, her well-known experimental video *Ditch Plains* (2013), along with *Implosion* (2011), a film that adapted poet Kathy Acker's play of the same name. It also featured her recent experiments producing photographs using various technologies such as smartphones and 3-D point scanners. Cultural theorist Sadie Plant writes that Fahrenholz's works in this exhibition "...conjure up a sense of terrible emptiness as they explore the horrors of disembodiment, domestic and urban disconnection and the disquieting limits of role-play and make-believe."

Fahrenholz has had numerous solo exhibitions since, among other at Reena Spaulings Fine Art (2011, 2013), Galerie Buchholz (2015, 2018), Midway Contemporary Art (2015), Fridericianum, Kassel / Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2016), mumok (2018), Company Gallery (2020), Neuer Berliner Kunstverein and Lumiar Cité (2021), Kölnischer Kunstverein (2022).

### Public collections

## Recognition

Fahrenholz was awarded the Villa Romana Prize in 2014.

title: Trinity house (Philadelphia)

abstract: A Trinity house, also known as a band-box house or a Father, Son & Holy Ghost house, is a small townhouse, principally found in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Trinity houses are characterized by small size, with three or four floors vertically stacked, each usually consisting of one principal room, many of which were built in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are joined by small, winding stairways, and have few or no interior doors. The "Trinity" name is derived from three floors, three rooms. Kitchens are usually in the basement, with very low headroom. Houses are typically smaller than 1,000 square feet (93 m⁲), and about 14 feet (4.3 m) wide. The selection of furnishings for such houses is strictly limited by the difficulty of moving furniture between floors. Trinity houses were typically located on alleys behind main streets, to be found in Philadelphia's deep blocks. A notable concentration of trinity houses is on Elfreth's Alley, a National Historic Landmark district. Due to their size and the inconvenience of their arrangements and their survival in affluent neighborhoods, trinity houses are often far more affordable than other houses in the same neighborhood. The houses have enjoyed a revival in interest as a by-product of the tiny-house movement.

# Trinity Lutheran Church (St. Louis, Missouri)

**Trinity Lutheran Church** is a Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) congregation in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S. It is considered the "mother church" of the LCMS.

## History

Located at 812 Soulard Street in the Soulard neighborhood, it is the oldest Lutheran church of the contiguous United States west of the Mississippi River. Its architectural style is Gothic revival.

The church was founded in 1839 by German Lutheran immigrants from Saxony who had arrived in the United States in 1838. They traveled by boat from New Orleans to St. Louis. Much of their party soon traveled south to Perry County, Missouri; those who remained in St. Louis started a church that went for three years with neither name nor dedicated worship facility. The congregation first met at an Episcopal church at Broadway and Walnut Streets.

The Saxon Lutherans brought with them a library, church organ, and church bells. The congregation's school had roots dating to the 1830s when the Saxon children studied on their journey to the United States.

Otto Hermann Walther was inducted as the first pastor on June 9, 1839. When he died in 1841, his brother Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther accepted the call to lead Trinity Lutheran. C. F. W. Walther's tenure at Trinity lasted from May 1841 until his death in 1887, during which time he also served as president of the LCMS and president of Concordia Seminary.

The first building, on Lombard Street, was dedicated in 1842. A new church at Eighth and Soulard streets was built in 1865. That building was destroyed by the 1896 St. Louis tornado. The congregation rebuilt the sanctuary on the same property and was able to incorporate the pulpit and baptismal font that had survived the tornado.

Trinity was known as the "mother church" to three other early Lutheran congregations in St. Louis; this group was called the *Gesammtgemeinde*, or "general congregation". The others were Immanuel (1848 – 2012) in the Greater Ville neighborhood, Holy Cross Lutheran (1858) in the Gravois Park neighborhood, and Zion Lutheran (1860) in the St. Louis Place neighborhood.

The 150th anniversary of the LCMS was celebrated at Trinity in 1997. Restoration work on one of its mahogany window frames was completed in 2008.

# Marqués de Alta Villa

**José Ramiro de la Puente y González Nandín, Marqués de Alta Villa** sometimes **Altavilla** (28 April 1845 in Reina del Bétis, Séville  16 December 1909 in Madrid) was a Spanish grande and writer on Madrid, exiled for much of the later part of his life in Paris.

## Exile in Paris

He acquired the château of Savigny-sur-Orge on the death of the former owner maréchale Davout, and there received from 1869 to 1876 the court of Isabella II in exile. He also frequented the Queen's own property, the former Hôtel Basilewski on avenue Kléber, renamed the Palais de Castille, which was the centre of the Bourbon Spanish exile community in Paris. Increasingly he came to serve as a powerful secretary to the exiled court of Queen. It was during this period, he became interested in various topics such as agricultural science, opera singing, as well as continuing more conventional aristocratic pursuits such as fencing and hunting. The Queen returned to Spain in 1874-1876 following the Bourbon restoration of her son Alfonso XII but Alta Villa continued to serve the Queen in Paris.

He was granted the papal title of marchese de Alta Villa del Casale Monferrato Piedmont, on October 9, 1880.

## Fencing

He was a noted fencer and *espadachín* and wrote the preface for C. Leon Broutin's guide *El arte de la esgrima* of 1894.

## Music

He took music lessons from Giovanni Lucantoni and singing lessons from Anna de La Grange and Madame Ferrari.

# Obertagstein Castle

**Obertagstein Castle** is a ruined castle in the municipality of Thusis of the Canton of Graubünden in Switzerland.

## History

The castle was probably built in the 13th century by the Masein/Rialt family near Untertagstein Castle. In 1316 Margareta von Rialt left all her properties in Tagstein to her nieces. The first mention of a castle in the area is in 1322, but it probably refers to Untertagstein in Masein. In 1322 the male line of the Rialt family died out and it was inherited by the Bärenburg family. The Bärenburg family were ministerialis, or unfree knights in service to a higher noble, to Vaz family. After the extinction of the Vaz family in 1337, they became vassals of the Counts of Toggenburg and the castle was given to the Tumb family. They began to refer to themselves as von Tagstein, but again probably referring to Untertagstein. In 1385 and 1387 Untertagstein is specifically mentioned.

The castle was originally built with an outer gate at the south-west corner of the castle. This gate led to narrow path that wrapped around the southern side of the castle, passed through a middle gate and then led to an inner gate on the east side. At some point in the castle's history the western wall at the main cistern collapsed. The cistern was abandoned and the hole in the wall became a new gate. The old outer gate was then walled up.

In the 15th century the castle was gutted by a fire and abandoned. In 1512 the ruins of Obertagstein were recorded in the property of Cazis Priory. As early as the 16th century the castle was visited by hikers who carved their initials and dates into the plaster walls.

## Castle site

The castle occupies the entire top of a small rock outcropping south of Thusis. The castle complex is about 15 m × 15 m (49 ft × 49 ft). Storage buildings and workshops were probably built on the mountain side of the outcropping and were separated from the castle by a ditch. Above the ditch was a ring wall that is mostly still standing. During construction the trunks of two trees were left standing and incorporated into the wall. Across a small courtyard, the palas filled the eastern end of the complex. The original entrance into the castle was on the east side of the palas, but after the cistern collapse the outer gate was sealed. The new western entrance had a wooden bridge over the ditch.
