## Establishment

In 2016 the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA), the Committee on Teaching about Asia (CTA) of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS), and Asia for Educators (AFE) at Columbia University announced the establishment of the annual Freeman Book Awards for new young adult and children’s literature. The awards recognize quality books for children and young adults that contribute meaningfully to an understanding of East and Southeast Asia. Awards are given in two categories: Children’s and Young Adult on the several countries of East and Southeast Asia. The awards were inaugurated in 2016. They are named for the Freeman Foundation.

The Freeman Foundation was established in 1994 through the bequest and in memory of the businessman and benefactor Mansfield Freeman, a co-founder of the international insurance and financial conglomerate American International Group, Inc., better known as AIG. It is dedicated to "augmenting international understanding between the United States and the nations of East Asia.

# Harrison & Harrison

**Harrison & Harrison Ltd** is a British company based in Durham that makes and restores pipe organs. It was established in Rochdale in 1861. It is well known for its work on instruments such as King's College, Cambridge, Westminster Abbey, and the Royal Festival Hall.

## History of the firm

Thomas Harrison established an organ building company in 1861 in Rochdale, then moved to Durham in 1872. The company was moderately successful but did not achieve real success until 1896 when Thomas's sons Arthur and Harry took over. Harry designed the organs and Arthur proved to be a particularly gifted voicer, resulting in commissions for rebuilds of several great organs including Durham Cathedral, the Grand Organ at the Royal Albert Hall and new commissions including Westminster Abbey, and Rossall School (1925). Between 1890 and 1996, Harrisons was located on Cross Street (now Hawthorn Terrace), Durham in a former paper mill. The building is now called Harrison House.

Arthur Harrison died in 1936 and Harry retired in 1946. The company passed to Harry's son Cuthbert. The firm was led by Mark Venning from 1975. David Hirst joined as Deputy Managing Director in 2008 and led the firm as Managing Director from 2009. In 2010, Mark Venning returned to maintain operations until the arrival of Dr Christopher Batchelor in 2011. The firm was run by Dr Batchelor from 2011 to June 2017. In October 2017, Andrew Reid left his job as Director of the Royal School of Church Music and joined Harrisons as the new managing director. In 2022, Andrew Scott took over as managing director, the first to work his way up through the firm from an apprenticeship. Mark Venning remains active as chairman.

In the postwar period Harrisons contributed significantly to the renaissance of classical organ building; their instruments for the Royal Festival Hall (designed in close collaboration with Ralph Downes) and St Albans Abbey (for Peter Hurford) are of particular importance. To those two landmark instruments may be added the organs of Coventry Cathedral, the chapel of Somerville College, Oxford and St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, all of these instruments being built during the tenure of Cuthbert Harrison and under his direction.

Harrisons continued to innovate and push the boundaries of organ building, even as they maintained their traditional craftsmanship. In the late 20th century, the firm expanded its operations to include electronic and digital organs. They also worked to adapt their instruments to modern performance styles and spaces, designing organs for concert halls and recording studios.

Under the leadership of Mark Venning, the company continued to receive numerous commissions for high-profile instruments. These included the organs of several British cathedrals, and of King's College Chapel in Cambridge. Harrisons also worked on international projects, including the restoration of the organ in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, and the construction of a new organ for the National Concert Hall in Dublin. These builds were detailed in "*The Harrison Story",* recounting the history of the firm, was published in 1974 by Laurence Elvin.


title: Pinguipes brasilianus

abstract: Pinguipes brasilianus, commonly known as the Brazilian sandperch, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Pinguipedidae. It is found in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Brazil and Argentina. It was first described in 1829 by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier.

# Pinguipes brasilianus

***Pinguipes brasilianus***, commonly known as the **Brazilian sandperch**, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Pinguipedidae. It is found in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Brazil and Argentina. It was first described in 1829 by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier.

## Description

Charles Darwin records the crew catching this fish with hook and line off the coast of northern Patagonia, at a time when the *Beagle* was anchored during bad weather. He described it as being chestnut brown above, banded transversely with black on the head, flanks and fins. The lower lip was pink and the underside of the fish was white. The eyes had yellow irises and black pupils.

## Distribution and habitat

*Pinguipes brasilianus* occurs in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Its range extends from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil southwards to Golfo Nuevo in Argentina. It has been reported twice in the central Mediterranean Sea. It is a demersal fish and its depth range is between 10 and 135 m (30 and 440 ft).

## Reproduction

Breeding takes place over an extended period of spring and summer, peaking between October and February. Females reach 50% maturity at an average total length of about 15 cm (6 in) and have a fecundity ranging from 2 to 44 oocytes per gram for medium size fish. The gonadosomatic index for males ranges between 0.11% and 0.75%. Both these figures are low and necessitates the pair being in close proximity when spawning takes place. The female releases several batches of eggs during the breeding season in a cycle involving courtship and pair bonding, the egg release sometimes taking place in a crevice in the reef.

# Hazel Sewell

**Hazel Mae Sewell** (*née* **Bounds**; 1 May 1898 – 22 January 1975), later **Cottrell**, was American animation artist and the first head of Walt Disney Studio's Ink and Paint Department. (It was earlier known as the Tracing & Opaquing Department.)

Born in Spalding, Idaho, she was hired shortly after her sister Lillian Bounds, also known as Lillian Disney, began working at the studio as an artist. Some of Sewell's primary responsibilities as the head of the Ink and Paint Department included: developing new techniques in the inking and painting processes, creating new divisions at the Walt Disney Studio, and overseeing the hiring and training of new artists. Sewell worked with the studio for 11 years until resigning in May 1938. She was the first woman to serve as the head of a major division at Disney Studios. She is known for her work on Disney animated shorts such as *Plane Crazy* and the feature film *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.*

## Biography

Sewell was born Hazel Bounds on May 1, 1898, and she was one of ten children. She grew up on the Nez Perce Native American Reservation in Lapwai, Idaho, and though poor, her family was described as "happy." Before working for Walt Disney as a young adult, she married her husband Glenn O. Sewell, and they continued to reside in Lapwai. (Glenn Sewell was the brother of Blanche Sewell, a film editor in classic Hollywood.) After her husband found work in Los Angeles, the couple moved there with their only daughter Marjorie Sewell.

After moving to Los Angeles, Sewell's sister Lillian Bounds moved in with Sewell and her husband. Bounds began working at the Walt Disney Studio as an artist after being referred by Sewell's friend, Kathleen Dollard. While working at the studio, Bounds started a relationship with Disney, whom she eventually married. After her sister's marriage, Sewell spent more time with Disney which led to her recruitment at the studio.

In the late 1920s, Sewell divorced her husband. Shortly after, she and her daughter moved in with her sister and brother-in-law. Several years after her divorce, Sewell began dating William H.D. Cottrell, who had started working for the Walt Disney Studio as a cameraman in 1929. The couple got married in 1938 and Sewell left the Walt Disney Studio around the same time. Cottrell continued to work at the studio after Sewell's departure. The two remained married until Sewell's death in 1975.

## Career

The Walt Disney Studio had been recruited by Universal Studios to create short cartoons revolving around a character Disney had created, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Shortly after this deal had been made in 1927, Disney recruited Sewell as the head of the Ink and Paint Department. This made Sewell the first woman in the animation industry to serve as the head of a major division. (At the time, the inkers were known as "the Blackeners" due to the lack of colors, which could not be used in the film process until 1932.) In 1928, Charles Mintz took the rights to the Oswald character along with several people who had been working at the Walt Disney Studio at the time. Sewell was one of the few employees who stayed after the loss of Oswald.

After losing Oswald, Disney created the idea for a cartoon character known as Mickey Mouse. The first Mickey Mouse cartoon was created by a small group of Disney employees. Sewell, Bounds, and Edna Disney were responsible for inking and painting the cels used for the first Mickey Mouse cartoon ever created. The cartoon was titled *Plane Crazy* and it was released in 1928. While *Plane Crazy* struggled to achieve success, the creation of Mickey Mouse led to the release of more cartoons, such as *Steamboat Willie*, that performed successfully.

The Walt Disney Studio began to grow after the creation of Mickey Mouse. In the Ink and Paint Department, Sewell led the animation industry's first team entirely composed of women. For example, Sewell and her team inked and painted cels for Mickey Mouse cartoons and for the *Silly Symphonies* short films in 1932. As the head of the Ink and Paint Department, Sewell was responsible for establishing new techniques used in the process of creating animations. These techniques were often used to target problems that would arise while creating cels for Disney's animations such as finding ways to get paint to dry faster as production demand increased. Within her department, she established two separate divisions for inking and painting to better define each discipline. Sewell was also responsible for overseeing the hiring and training of new artists in the department. She and her team established a list of criteria that assessed the painting, accuracy, cleanliness, ability to follow instructions, organization, and productivity of potential hires. Additionally, Sewell established training classes for artists at the studio to refine their inking and painting skills as the demand for animations grew.

Sewell's responsibilities continued to grow as the Walt Disney Studio began to work on colour animation. Sewell's frequent experimentation with cels allowed her to work with manufactured materials to create colour animations. With the creation of colour animation, Disney decided to create a full-length animated motion picture, leading to the beginning of the production process for *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*. During the process, Sewell set up new departments responsible for cel cutting, cel washing, and paper punching. Sewell was also put in charge of securing materials for *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*. The movie's high demand for high-grade celluloid sheets led to constant correspondence between Sewell and the studio's celluloid manufacturers. The final product of *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* used 362,000 cels.

Shortly after the release of S*now White and the Seven Dwarfs*, Sewell resigned from the Walt Disney Studio in May 1938 after 11 years with the company. While working for Disney, Sewell suffered a nervous breakdown and went on leave. During this time, she was not provided pay. According to a letter Sewell wrote to Disney, her frustration and the lack of appreciation she felt led to her departure from the company.

Despite her resignation, Sewell remained involved with the studio because of her familial relationships with the Disneys and her husband's employment at the studio. In 1941, Sewell accompanied the Disneys, Cottrell, and several other notable Disney artists, who referred to themselves as El Grupo, on a trip to South America. The trip had been ordered by the US government to improve the relationship between the United States and South American countries during the Second World War. The trip was a goodwill tour as Disney's presence incited excitement from South American Disney fans. In addition, the group used the tour as inspiration for animations they hoped to produce featuring South American culture. The tour inspired the famous *Saludos Amigos* and *Three Caballeros* cartoons.

She died in Los Angeles in 1975.

# Petiveria

***Petiveria*** is a genus of flowering plants in the pigeonberry family, Petiveriaceae. The sole species it contains, ***Petiveria alliacea***, is native to Florida and the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and tropical South America. Introduced populations occur in Benin and Nigeria. It is a deeply rooted herbaceous perennial shrub growing up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in height and has small greenish piccate flowers. The roots and leaves have a strong acrid, garlic-like odor which taints the milk and meat of animals that graze on it.

## Common names

It is known by a wide number of common names including: *guinea henweed*, *guiné* (pronounced \[giˈnɛ\]) in Brazil, *anamú* in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Brazil, *apacin* in Guatemala, *mucura* in Peru, and *guine* in many other parts of Latin America, *feuilles ave*, *herbe aux poules*, *petevere a odeur ail*, and, in Trinidad, as *mapurite* (pronounced *Ma-po-reete*) and *gully root*, and in Jamaica as *guinea hen weed* and many others.

## Description

*Petiveria alliacea* is a herbaceous shrub. Leaves are simple, alternate, pinnate in the first order and netted the second order. It has determinate inflorescences. Although the plant is capable of reproducing throughout the year, reproductive activity peaks during a portion of the year that is dependent on geography. For example, in Mexico this period is from September to October, while in Central America it is from July to January.

## Range and habitat

This plant is native to the United States (southernmost Florida and Texas), the West Indies, Mexico, Central America and South America. In southern Florida it has been reported in disturbed areas, maritime, mesic, prairie and tropical hardwood hammocks and shell mound. In Mexico, *P. alliacea* is widely present in corn, coffee and apple plantations.

## Uses

*Petiveria alliacea* is used as a bat and insect repellent.

## Phytochemistry

*Petiveria alliacea* has been found to contain a large number of biologically active chemicals including benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, benzyl 2-hydroxyethyl trisulphide, coumarin, isoarborinol, isoarborinol acetate, isoarborinol cinnamate, isothiocyanates, polyphenols, senfol, tannins, and trithiolaniacine.

The plant's roots have also been shown to contain cysteine sulfoxide derivatives that are analogous to, but different from, those found in such plants as garlic and onion. For example, *P. alliacea* contains *S*-phenylmethyl-L-cysteine sulfoxides (petiveriins A and B) and *S*-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteines (6-hydroxyethiins A and B). These compounds serve as the precursors of several thiosulfinates such as *S*-(2-hydroxyethyl) 2-hydroxyethane)thiosulfinate, *S*-(2-hydroxylethyl) phenylmethanethiosulfinate, *S*-benzyl 2-hydroxyethane)thiosulfinate and *S*-benzyl phenylmethanethiosulfinate (petivericin). All four of these thiosulfinates have been found to exhibit antimicrobial activity. Petiveriin also serves as precursor to phenylmethanethial *S*-oxide, a lachrymatory agent structurally similar to syn-propanethial-S-oxide from onion, but whose formation requires novel cysteine sulfoxide lyase and lachrymatory factor synthase enzymes differing from those found in onion.

Domestic animals that consume *P. alliacea* can pass the garlic-like odor characteristic of the plant to their meat, eggs and milk. In addition, nitrates in the plant can cause toxicosis in cattle.

# Robin Miller (nurse)

**Robin Elizabeth Miller** (born 8 September 1940 – 7 December 1975), known as "The Sugarbird Lady", was an Australian aviator and nurse. The name "The Sugarbird Lady" was given to her by outback Aboriginal children during her work combatting polio. She died of cancer at the age of 35.

## Biography

Robin Elizabeth Miller was born on 8 September 1940 in Subiaco, Perth. Her mother was the writer Dame Mary Durack, and her father was an aviator, Captain Horrie Miller.

After obtaining a private pilot licence and a commercial flying licence while training as a nurse, she approached the Western Australian Department of Health to ask permission to fly to northern Western Australia to carry out a vaccination programme. Permission granted, she borrowed money for a Cessna 182 Skylane and set out on her first flight on 22 May 1967. Travelling to remote communities, she would treat children with the Sabin vaccine in sugar lumps. She later flew with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (RFDS).

In 1973 she married Harold Dicks, the director of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and became **Robin Miller Dicks**. Later that year she was sponsored along with Rosemary de Pierres to compete in the 1973 All Women's Transcontinental Air Race across the United States, also known as the Powder Puff Derby, finishing sixth past the finishing post.

Miller died of cancer on 7 December 1975 in South Perth, aged 35. Following her death, her husband set up a A$50,000 memorial foundation to help nurses acquire flying licences.

She is remembered fondly in Perth, Western Australia; as well as the large memorial in Jandakot Airport, there is also a seminar room in the Royal Perth Hospital named after her, in addition to a road at Perth Airport: Sugarbird Lady Road.

## Quotes

Two quotes from ABC's "George Negus Tonight" described her flying prowess:

Nancy Bird (a friend):

> "One was a solo flight from Paris to Australia. And in another one, I think she actually came across the Pacific. Later, did a copilot flight across the Atlantic. So she circumnavigated the world. She was one of the outstanding women pilots of the 20th century and we should recognise her as such."

Michael Page (publisher):

> "She was so used, for example, to doing things like flying in through a thunderstorm to an outback station where there was nothing you could really call a landing ground, and getting down there and then picking up someone who had perhaps been gored by a bullock, you know, with a great wound in the abdomen, getting them into the aircraft, and flying back to Perth or Broome or wherever it was where the nearest hospital was. But she was, er ... 'Well, you know, what's so interesting about that?'"

## Awards

* Diploma of Merit — Associazione Nazionale Infermieri, Italy (1969)
* Nancy Bird (Walton) Award — Australia's woman pilot of the year (1970)
* Paul Tissandier Diploma — Federation Aeronautique Internationale (posthumous)
* Brabazon Cup — Women Pilots' Association of Great Britain (posthumous)

# Allan Sutter

**Allan Sutter** (June 14, 1914 – July 12, 1988) was a highly decorated United States Marine Corps colonel. He was awarded the Navy Cross at the battle of Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War.

## Early life and World War II

Allan Sutter was born on June 14, 1914, in Mount Holly, New Jersey. After graduating from Valley Forge Military Academy, Sutter attended Dartmouth College and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1937. He then completed the Platoon Leader Program at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia in July and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps.

Sutter received additional training at The Basic School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His first assignment was as the assistant communications officer in the 5th Marine Regiment. He then attended Communications Officers School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, before he served as the aide to the commanding general of the 1st Marine Division.

Sutter led the 1st Signal Company during the battle of Guadalcanal from August to December 1942. He later served as the executive officer of the III Amphibious Corps Signal Battalion during the battle of Guam in July and August 1944, and during the battle of Okinawa from April to June 1945. Sutter participated in the occupation of Northern China after the war, returning to the United States in 1946.

## Korean War

### Inchon-Seoul campaign

When the Korean War started, Lieutenant Colonel Sutter was given command of 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. Sutter led his battalion during the amphibious assault at Blue Beach One at Inchon on September 15, 1950. His first wave of Marines landed at 1730 hours, followed shortly after by a second wave. However, the next three waves from his battalion drifted off course and mistakenly landed on Blue Beach Three.

By the afternoon of September 16, Sutter's battalion had pushed two miles inland and had taken Hill 117 which overlooked the highway toward Seoul. Later that night, his battalion helped repel a North Korean counterattack. Early on the morning of September 20, his battalion destroyed another enemy counterattack which was composed of five tanks and 300 men outside of Yongdung-po. Private First Class Walter C. Monegan Jr. personally destroyed two T-34s before he was killed. Later that day, Sutter requested an artillery fire mission which took seven hours to be approved.

On the morning of September 21, Sutter's battalion took particularly heavy casualties while attacking Yongdung-po. After reaching the Han River outside of Seoul on September 22, his battalion was placed in the regimental reserve. 2/1 had sustained 116 casualties as a result of seven days of aggressively assaulting "without the required artillery preparation."

On September 26, Sutter continued to lead 2/1 in urban combat during the recapture of Seoul. The house-to-house fighting was agonizingly slow for the Marines, who would typically spend one hour clearing each position. While the city was effectively secured by September 28, there were still enemy pockets of resistance for the next few days. On September 29, an observation post occupied by Company E on Hill 132 was attacked by approximately 100 of the enemy. Private First Class Stanley R. Christianson remained in a listening post where he personally killed seven of the enemy before he himself was killed and bought time for his platoon to mount a defense which repelled the attack.

### Chosin Reservoir campaign

At the conclusion of the Inchon-Seoul campaign in the first week of October, the entire 1st Marine Division embarked on Navy ships and sailed around South Korea and landed at Wonsan on October 26. The division then marched 70 miles north to the Chosin Reservoir area. As Sutter's battalion arrived at Koto-ri on November 24, the Chinese Communist military encircled the entire division and the coldest winter in 50 years descended on Korea. Temperatures fell as low as −35 °F as a blizzard swept the area.

On the night of November 29, a large enemy force assaulted 2/1's entrenched position outside of Koto-ri. Lieutenant Colonel Sutter skillfully directed his Marines in repulsing the attack, killing 175 of the enemy and wounding several hundred more. On December 10, Sutter led his Marines in an attack toward Sudong-ni. He attained his objective with minimal losses despite suffering from a fever. The Marines reached Hungnam by December 11 and were evacuated by ships by December 24. For his actions during the Chosin Reservoir campaign, Sutter was awarded the Navy Cross.

Sutter continued serving in Korea and eventually became the executive officer of the 1st Marine Regiment. He returned to the United States in May 1951 and was awarded the Legion of Merit for his service.

## Later career and life

After the war, Sutter served as the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-3 for the Fleet Marine Force, Pacific. From August 1961 to June 1962, he served as the commanding officer of the 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade, at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.

Colonel Sutter retired from the Marines in 1964. He died on July 12, 1988, in Orange, Virginia.
