# Miriam Michael Stimson

**Miriam Michael Stimson**, OP (born **Marian Emma Stimson**, December 24, 1913 – June 15, 2002 in Chicago) was a member of the Adrian Dominican Sisters and a chemist. She was the second woman to lecture at the Sorbonne and taught at Siena Heights University. She is noted for her work on spectroscopy, and played a role in the history of understanding DNA.

## Early life

Stimson grew up in a Catholic family of English with an Irish descent, where she was the third child of Mary Holland and Frank Stimson. Throughout childhood, Stimson's family encountered several illnesses. Her older brother had polio, and her younger sister contracted a bacterial infection that affected her heart. Complications from the birth of twins left her mother with high blood pressure that affected her memory. Stimson helped raise her younger siblings, and taught her younger sister how to read. This experience shaped her personality as an educator.

## Education and career

Stimson's family was Catholic. Her parents encouraged her siblings and her to learn about their religion; Stimson took an interest in science early on. Frank and Mary Stimson supported their children in their desire for education. When Stimson reached the age of fourteen, her parents sent her to St. Joseph College and Academy, a Catholic academy in Adrian, Michigan, run by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. She worked on "wound-healing hormones" and helped to create a new hemorrhoid cream (preparation H)" before studying DNA bases and structure.

After graduating, she worked at St. Joseph College. She joined the Adrian Dominican Sisters and completed her education at Siena Heights College. Later she taught at Siena Heights College in Adrian and attended graduate school at the Institutum Divi Thomae.

Stimson taught chemistry at Siena Heights University and served as an academic advisor.

## Structure of DNA

There is a book for Dr. Jun Tsuji under the title *The soul of DNA* is the story of Sister Miriam Stimson and her knowledge about DNA and double helix, and she illustrated the structure of DNA in an easy-to-understand way. She also explained the relationship between cells and chemical instructions.

Sister Miriam's developed the 'KBr (potassium bromide) disk technique in which she mixed samples with KBr and compressed it into a little disk. Potassium bromide was a reasonable substance that would not interfere with the infrared light, and furthermore, it is ready to meld effectively with the example. Sister Miriam's technique was demonstrated to be superior to the previously-used oil method in a number of ways; "there was an absence of interfering bands, lower scattering losses, higher resolution of spectra, better control of concentration and homogeneity of sample, ease in examining small samples, and possibility of storing of specimens for further studies". This sort of method would have the capacity to accomplish a more exact spectrum of the compounds inside a substance and their position, which would alter infrared spectroscopy for quite a while, and furthermore affirm the Watson - Crick Model of the double helix for DNA. Because of her discoveries, Sister Miriam added to one of the best discoveries in her century, and in this way facilitated examinations including DNA structure and cancer, giving different researchers a more precise view on how DNA framed and worked.

# Foes of Ali

***Foes of Ali*** is a boxing video game that was developed by Gray Matter and published by EA Sports. It was released near the end of 1995 exclusively for the 3DO system. It was one of the first boxing games to render matches using 3D graphics. Thus, boxers in the game could be shown to move 360 degrees around the ring in a more convincing fashion than had previously been possible using 2D sprites. The gameplay bears many similarities to that featured in 4D Sports Boxing.

## Overview

The game features Muhammad Ali, as well as nine of his real life opponents: George Chuvalo, Henry Cooper, Jimmy Ellis, Bob Foster, Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston, Ken Norton, Leon Spinks, Chuck Wepner. The most notable of Ali's opponents not to be included are Larry Holmes, Antonio Inoki and George Foreman.

There are three game modes: 'exhibition', 'tournament', and 'career'. In 'exhibition' mode, the player can choose to fight as any boxer in the game, against any boxer in the game. It is possible to assign control of either boxer to a player or the 3DO. In 'tournament' mode, one or two players fight their way through a tournament of boxers from the game. In 'career' mode, the player plays as Ali, and fights each of the other fighters in the game, in the same order that Ali did during his career. For the early fights in this mode, Ali is known by his original name, which he used during these fights in real life (Cassius Clay). Before each fight, a photo of the original fight is displayed, and an audio segment voiced by Tim Gammon outlines what happened.

The game was also announced for PlayStation and Sega Saturn but these were never released.

The game was followed by *Knockout Kings* in 1998.

## Gameplay

The game simulates a wide variety of boxing punches; jabs, hooks, and uppercuts can be thrown (and faked) with either hand. Defensive techniques consist of blocking, clinching and leaning. Fatigue is not simulated; that is, throwing punches or moving about the ring does not cause a boxer to tire. However, receiving large quantities of punishment does cause a boxer to slow down, both in terms of movement and punching speed.

Though throwing large volumes of punches does not affect a boxer's punching or movement in any way, it does negatively affect his ability to withstand punches. A fighter is significantly easier to knock out if they have already thrown large numbers of punches.

Although there is the option to turn off TKO based stoppages, this option has no effect. If a fighter's face is beaten into enough of a bloody mess, fights will be stopped regardless of whether it is selected or not. Regardless of whether the option is turned on or not, the game does not consider other factors when judging whether to stop a fight. As a result, it is possible for one boxer to pummel another for 15 rounds with no punches being thrown in response. Subsequently, unlike in real boxing matches, it is not uncommon to have rounds scored 10–6 or lower. By knocking an opponent down around 10 times, it is even possible to win rounds by a 10–0 margin.

The boxers in the game reflect characteristics of the real-life fighters who they are based upon. For example, Henry Cooper, who had a tendency to get cut easily in real life, receives cuts after taking fewer punches than other fighters. Similarly, reflecting the fact that George Chuvalo was renowned for his ability to take punches (he was not once knocked down in his career), it is physically impossible to knock him down in the game (even if the player continuously punches him in the stomach for 15 rounds).

## Presentation

The animations for the boxers were created using motion capture. Pre-rendered sequences show a ring announcer introducing the start of the fight or announcing the outcome (only the ring announcer is seen/ heard during such scenes). Like most boxing games, a referee is not seen during the matches.

It is possible to injure an opponent's face in a variety of ways that lead to visible damage effects such as a bloody nose or black eyes. Decals are used to simulate blood effects on the ring floor- such blood remains for the duration of the fight. The amount of blood that comes out of fighters' faces can be set to 'none', 'normal', and 'gallons'.

The game allows the player to choose from 21 camera angles, including first person views (similar to that seen in *4D Sports Boxing*). When playing the game using the first-person view, damage to the eyes affects the view in appropriate ways; for example, if a boxer's eye takes enough damage so that it becomes swollen shut, that side of the view will be replaced by blackness. The view will also flash back when the player takes a hard shot, or red when they are hit by a punch that makes their face bleed. Taking substantial numbers of punches to the head will even result in simulated double vision. Other camera views include a bird's-eye view and a free-roaming camera that can be positioned at an angle and distance of the player's choosing.

Depending on the action in the ring, the crowd responds with different speech effects; for example, someone might shout "Good shot!" when a punch is landed, or "Fight, you bum!" if there is little action taking place. There is also some limited commentary by Tim Gammon.

## Reception

*Foes of Ali* received mostly mediocre reviews. *GamePro* called it "one of the lamest boxing games", citing poor control and "lifeless" polygon graphics. The two sports reviewers of *Electronic Gaming Monthly* praised the multiple camera angles and blurred vision, but felt the game fails to hold the player's interest due to its dull gameplay. They gave it scores of 6.0 and 6.5 out of 10. *Maximum* similarly found that the game's highly detailed texture-mapped polygon graphics are impressive given the limitations of the 3DO, but that the fights often boil down to a tedious exchanging of blows. They concluded that "This is a well-crafted and solid 3DO release that should suit boxing simulators' needs adequately, but didn't have the necessary excitement to hold our interest in an increasingly expansive sea of next generation software." Edge (UK) awarded the game 4 out of 10, saying: "Bung this motley collection of elements together - slow fighters, a finicky punch and block system, clumsy graphics - and you have one shabby game".

In a 2006 article, *GameSpot* described *Foes of Ali* as the most accurate representation of boxing for its time.

# Milt Shefter

**Milton R. Shefter** is a Los Angeles-based film and media-asset archivist and preservationist. He is best known for the creation, design, and management of the extensive Paramount Pictures Asset Protection Program, and for co-authoring the 2007 report from the Science and Technology Council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, *The Digital Dilemma*, as well as its 2012 followup, *The Digital Dilemma 2*.

## Early life and career

Shefter was born in Reading, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Syracuse University in New York. He moved to California to work for Consolidated Film Industries, eventually becoming Vice President of CFI's Video Division. He then worked at Bonded Services, an international media storage and distribution company, where he created a computerized tracking system that enabled studios and other content owners to inventory and track their films, television programs, and other moving image assets.

## Paramount Pictures

In 1987, Paramount Pictures retained Shefter as Director of Library Resources to build an archive to preserve Paramount's extensive library of motion picture and television programs. Paramount recognized that it needed “asset protection” when it realized that "all its holdings were in Los Angeles, and if a big earthquake came along, it could lose everything."

Shefter created a plan and supervised the design and construction of a new four-story 40,000 square foot archive building on Paramount's Hollywood studio lot, featuring environmentally-controlled vaults. Several hundred thousand cans of film and tape, some dating back to Paramount's inception, were located worldwide, identified, bar-coded, and consolidated in this one central location. Shefter also implemented a “protection-by-separation” strategy for archiving Paramount's valuable and irreplaceable film and video assets. Mirror-image archival vaults were built at an underground facility in Pennsylvania and in London, England. This was the very first motion picture studio worldwide with a total Asset Protection Program.

Shefter has performed similar services for other major studios and other organizations with large libraries of moving images and recorded sound content in the United States and Europe.

## Subsequent preservation work

In 1994, Shefter headed the Task Force on Public Awareness for the National Film Preservation Board, which led to the formulation of the NFPB's National Film Preservation Plan. Shefter was also on the original design team for the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center of the Library of Congress, located in Culpeper, Virginia.

Shefter testified before the National Fire Protection Association for revisions in their storage standards on nitrate film. According to his company website, he has also testified as an expert witness on nitrate film for the United States Department of Justice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C.

## *The Digital Dilemma*

In 2006, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences asked its Science and Technology Council to study the state of digital preservation worldwide. The Council created a Digital Motion Picture Archival Project, and appointed Shefter as its Lead. Together with Andy Maltz, Director of the Council, Shefter co-authored and co-edited *The Digital Dilemma*, the very first "white paper" from the Academy. Published in November 2007, *The Digital Dilemma* addressed the effects of digital technology on the motion picture industry.

*The Digital Dilemma* won the 2008 Outstanding Preservation Publication Award from the Society of American Archivists, the oldest and largest archivist association in North America. As a result of *The Digital Dilemma*, the Academy partnered with the Library of Congress on the Digital Motion Picture Archive Framework Project.

In 2012, Shefter and Maltz co-authored a follow-up report, *The Digital Dilemma 2*, produced in partnership with the Academy and the Library of Congress, and focusing more on independent filmmakers and small archives.

## Other achievements and awards

Shefter is a former Governor of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. SMPTE has elevated him to Fellow membership status, "awarded to individuals who have, by proficiency and contributions, attained an outstanding rank among engineers or executives in the motion-picture, television or related industries." In 1992, Shefter received SMPTE’s Citation for Outstanding Service to the Society. In 2013, he received The Archival Technology Medal from SMPTE "in recognition of his long-standing and continued leadership contributions to the motion picture and television industry in defining practices for the storage and archive of the industry’s film legacy and digital media content."

Shefter is a past President of the Association of Moving Image Archivists, and served as Chair of the International Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations. He served on the Library of Congress's National Film Preservation Board. He is an associate member of the American Society of Cinematographers, and directs and narrates their annual awards show. He is also a member of the Writers Guild of America and of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

# Patrick Laidlaw

**Sir Patrick Playfair Laidlaw** FRS FRCP (26 September 1881 – 20 March 1940) was a Scottish virologist.

## Biography

Laidlaw was born in Glasgow, the son of Robert Laidlaw, M.D., at that time Superintendent of the Glasgow Medical Mission. He was educated at Leys School, Cambridge and St. John’s College, Cambridge.

Around 1910, he and Henry H. Dale studied the properties of histamine (then called β-imidazolylethylamine) at the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories after which he went to Guy's Hospital as a lecturer in experimental pathology. As a virologist at the Medical Research Council in 1922 his researches on dog-distemper led to two ways of immunisation against it, which achievement earned him the award of a Royal Medal by the Royal Society in 1933. In 1927 he had been elected a fellow of the Royal Society.

He was one of the scientists working at the Medical Research Council (NIMR Farm Laboratories) at Mill Hill who first isolated influenza virus from humans. This happened when ferrets they were working on to develop a distemper vaccine caught influenza from one of the scientists in the laboratory.

He was knighted in the 1935 Birthday Honours for distinguished service to medical science.

He died unmarried at the age of 58.

# John Atkinson, Baron Atkinson

**John Atkinson, Baron Atkinson**, PC (13 December 1844 – 13 March 1932) was an Irish politician and judge. He was a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary from 1905 to 1928.

## Early life and career

Atkinson was born at Drogheda, County Louth, the eldest son of Edward Atkinson, a physician, of Glenwilliam Castle, County Limerick and Skea House, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, and his wife Rosetta.

He was educated at the Belfast Academy and later at Queen's College Galway, which he attended from 1858 to 1865. He won Junior Scholarships in the Science Division of the Faculty of Arts, 1858–9, 1859–60 and 1860–1. He was awarded the B.A. degree in mathematics with first-class honours in 1861, and pursued a varied postgraduate career – from initial study of the sciences (with Senior Scholarships in Mathematics, 1861–2, and Natural Philosophy, 1862–3) he moved into Law, gaining a first-class Diploma in Elementary Law in 1864. A further Senior Scholarship, this time in Law, followed, and he graduated with a first-class LL.B. in 1865. Throughout his university career, he was noted as an orator of distinction, and served as Auditor of the college's Literary and Debating Society for the 1862–63 session.

Atkinson was called to the Irish Bar in 1865 and appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1880 at the early age of 35. He practised as a QC on the Munster Circuit. He was elected a Bencher of the King's Inns in June 1885. In 1890, he was called to the English Bar by the Inner Temple, and was elected a Bencher there in 1906. Atkinson represented the Times Newspaper before the Parnell Commission in 1888.

## Political life

Atkinson was politically active throughout his career at the Bar, and in 1889 was appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland. He became Attorney-General for Ireland in 1892, and later that year was appointed a Privy Councillor. In January 1893, having left the office of Attorney-General, he called a motion at a Unionist meeting in County Fermanagh declaring renewed opposition to Home Rule. At a meeting in March of that year (1893) at Leinster Hall Atkinson declared that a breach in the Union between the United Kingdom and Ireland would mean an end to civil and religious liberty. In December 1893 he was selected to represent the Unionist Party in North Londonderry. His candidature was endorsed by Arthur Balfour, then leader of the House of Commons, with the words –"it is important that the loyalists of Ulster be represented by eloquent and able men". Atkinson was elected a Conservative M.P. for North Londonderry in 1895; upon his election, he was again appointed Attorney-General, an office he held for the next ten years. During this time, he was closely involved in the framing of many significant pieces of legislation, including the Irish Land Act, 1896, and the Local Government Act, 1898.

## Appointed as a law lord

On 19 December 1905, he was appointed to the House of Lords as a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary and life peer under the title **Baron Atkinson**, *of Glenwilliam in the County of Limerick*, the first Irish barrister to be appointed as a Law Lord directly from his practice at the bar – Judges John Fitzgerald and Michael Morris had served on the Irish Bench for many years before their respective appointments. For the title of his life peerage, he chose Glenwilliam, after Glenwilliam Castle in County Limerick, the home of his father. Atkinson's appointment, however, was not met with universal approval by his profession. As a former member of the cabinet he was seen as a political judge, however his industry and keen sense of justice came to be seen as a valuable addition to the bench. On his appointment as a Law Lord, he withdrew from active politics, limiting his contributions on political matters in the House of Lords to the discussion of Irish matters, such as the Irish Land Bill in 1909, to which he tabled several amendments. Atkinson retired as a judge in 1928, and died at his home at 39 Hyde Park Gate, London on 13 March 1932. A portrait by John St Helier Lander hangs in the Bar Room of King's Inns, Dublin.

title: Marine Isotope Stage 5

abstract: Marine Isotope Stage 5 or MIS 5 is a marine isotope stage in the geologic temperature record, between 130,000 and 80,000 years ago. Sub-stage MIS 5e corresponds to the Last Interglacial, also called the Eemian or Sangamonian, the last major interglacial period before the Holocene, which extends to the present day. Interglacial periods which occurred during the Pleistocene are investigated to better understand present and future climate variability. Thus, the present interglacial, the Holocene, is compared with MIS 5 or the interglacials of Marine Isotope Stage 11.

# Marine Isotope Stage 5

**Marine Isotope Stage 5** or **MIS 5** is a marine isotope stage in the geologic temperature record, between 130,000 and 80,000 years ago. Sub-stage MIS 5e corresponds to the Last Interglacial, also called the Eemian (in Europe) or Sangamonian (in North America), the last major interglacial period before the Holocene, which extends to the present day. Interglacial periods which occurred during the Pleistocene are investigated to better understand present and future climate variability. Thus, the present interglacial, the Holocene, is compared with MIS 5 or the interglacials of Marine Isotope Stage 11.

## Substages

MIS 5, is divided into substages, divided alphabetically or with a numeric system for referring to "horizons" (events rather than periods), with MIS 5.5 representing the peak point of MIS 5e, and 5.51, 5.52 etc. representing the peaks and troughs of the record at a still more detailed level.

### Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e

Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, called the Eemian (Ipswichian in Britain) around 124,000–119,000 years ago, was the last interglacial period before the present (Holocene), and compared global mean surface temperatures were at least 2 °C (3.6 °F) warmer. Mean sea level was 4–6 m (13–20 ft) higher than at present, following reductions of the Greenland ice sheet. Fossil reef proxies indicate sea level fluctuations of up to 10 m (33 ft) around the mean. Based on the data obtained from stable oxygen isotopes of planktonic foraminifera and age constraints from corals, estimates suggest average rates of sea-level rise of 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) per century. The findings are important to understand current climate change, because global mean temperatures during MIS-5e were similar to the projected climate change today.

A 2015 study by sea level rise experts concluded that based on MIS 5e data, sea level rise could accelerate in the coming decades, with a doubling time of 10, 20 or 40 years. The study abstract explains:

> We argue that ice sheets in contact with the ocean are vulnerable to non-linear disintegration in response to ocean warming, and we posit that ice sheet mass loss can be approximated by a doubling time up to sea level rise of at least several meters. Doubling times of 10, 20 or 40 years yield sea level rise of several meters in 50, 100 or 200 years. Paleoclimate data reveal that subsurface ocean warming causes ice shelf melt and ice sheet discharge. Our climate model exposes amplifying feedbacks in the Southern Ocean that slow Antarctic bottom water formation and increase ocean temperature near ice shelf grounding lines, while cooling the surface ocean and increasing sea ice cover and water column stability. Ocean surface cooling, in the North Atlantic as well as the Southern Ocean, increases tropospheric horizontal temperature gradients, eddy kinetic energy and baroclinicity, which drive more powerful storms.

A 2018 study based on cave formations in the Mediterranean Sea found sea level rise of up to 6 meters, noting "The results suggest that if the pre-industrial temperature will be surpassed by 1.5 to 2°C, sea level will respond and rise 2 to 6 meters (7 to 20 feet) above present sea level." Evidence from Bahamas and Bermuda suggest powerful storm activity at the time, strong enough for wave-transported megaboulders, lowland chevron storm ridges, and wave runup deposits.

### Other sub-stages

The Eemian was followed by a sharp decline in temperature around 116,000 years ago and the warmer MIS 5c, from around 100,000 years ago, probably the period known as the Chelford Interstadial in Britain. Cooling from around 90,000 years ago was followed by the warmer MIS 5a, around 80,000 years ago, called in Britain the Brimpton Interstadial.

From MIS 5c to MIS 5a, or from about 104,000 to 82,000 years ago, the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) declined in overall intensity.

# Mirza Rida Quli Shari'at-Sanglaji

**Ayatollah Muhammad Hassan Mirza Rida Quli** (1891 – 1944), was an Iranian reformer, theologian, philosopher, and scholar. He was an opponent of Ruhollah Khomeini. He was considered a Qurʾan-oriented Scholar or Qurʾanist among Iranian Shias. He was the theologian who, unlike the majority of Shia Scholars, called for Ijtihad, and rejected Taqleed. Sangalli was a preacher in the Sepahsalar Mosque. He publicly declared that Shiaism required reformation. Besides, he preached that Islam is not against modernity.

## Life and education

Ayatollah Muhammad Hassan Mirza Rida Quli Shari'at-Sanglaji was born in 1891 in Sangelaj, Tehran. His father's name was Shaykh Hasan Sangalaji (d. 1931). He received his early education from his father.

He obtained his Islamic Education from the following scholars:

1. Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) from Shaykh Abdul nabi Nuri
2. Philosophy (Hikmat) from Mirza Hasan Karmanshahi
3. Scholastic Theology (Kalam) from Shaykh Ali Mutakallim
4. Mysticism (Irfan) from Mirza Hashim Ishkivari

In 1917, Muhammed traveled to Najaf with his brother Muhammad Sanglaji, where he spent four years. In Najaf, he wrote his first book, which was positively received by Ayatollah Kazim Yazdi. Yazdi gave Mirza Rida Quli the surname of Shariat, or "sacred law." In 1921, he returned to Tehran.

He died in January 1944 at the age of 53 due to typhus.

## Teachings and Beliefs

The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Theology states:

"Modernist tendencies were not limited to Sunni scholars: in Iran, Ayatollah Muhammad Hasan (Riza Quill) Shariat Sangalaji (1890 or 1892-1944) called for Ijtihad instead of Taqlid. And advocated a strictly rational approach to Islam, and prompted his fellow believers to return to the pure origins of their religion by combating superstitions that had distorted its strict monotheism over time. What brought him into fierce conflict with his conservative colleagues was his assessment that also some beliefs traditionally regarded as belonging to the core of Imami Shi'ism are superstitious and must do. For instance, he rated the idea that the Twelfth Imam will return before resurrection to establish justice on earth as an illegitimate addition to Islam (Richard 1988: 166). He condemned the belief that the prophet and the imams are closer to God than ordinary people and can hence you may ask for intercession (shafa't). He also rejected the popular idea that al-Husayn's suffering and death were expiatory self-sacrifices, denouncing it as un-Islamic (Shariat Sangalaji, Tawhid, 63f., 140; Richard 1988:167; for Shi' I modernism in Iran and elsewhere, cf. Nasr 1993)."

Shariat Sanglaji had the following teachings and beliefs:

1. He emphatically rejected the Return of the Twelfth Imam and wrote the book "Islam wa Rajat" to refute this particular Shiite belief.
2. He was not in favor of sacred intermediaries and considered it polytheism.
3. He was against tomb worship, and in his book Tawhid-i ibaadat - Yaktaparasti, he quoted narrations that prohibited building on graves and taking them as places of worship.
4. While some Muslim scholars held the view that prophets like Jesus, Isa, and Khidr are alive, Sanglaji wrote a book Mahwo al Mawhoom to refute this belief. He stated that no prophet, including Jesus, is alive.

## Students

The main attendants of Sanglaji's lectures and Quranic exegesis were highly educated Iranians, amongst the most famous where:

## Books

* Kilid-i Fahm-i Qur'an (Key to the Understanding of the Qur'an)
* Tawhid-i ibadat - Yaktaparasti (The Unity of Worship- Monotheism)

# Miners' institute

**Miners' institutes**, sometimes known as *workingmen's institutes*, *mine workers' institutes*, or *miners' welfare halls* are large institutional buildings that were typically built during the height of the industrial period as a meeting and educational venue. More commonly found in Britain, miners' institutes were owned by miner groups who gave a proportion of their wage into a communal fund to pay for the construction and running of the building. The institutes would normally contain a library, reading room and meeting room.

## Miners' institutes of North and South Wales

During the late 19th century, with the population growth seen in former rural communities, many industrialised areas saw workers contributing to funds to build institutes. This was typified in the southern coalfield of Wales, which by 1910 saw institutes built in most towns and villages. The first to be built in Wales was 'The Working Men's Club' on Alexandra Road in Swansea in 1874. The institutes were of socialist and altruistic nature and would include small libraries and reading rooms, whose books would lean towards history and politics, in an attempt to allow the working class man to better himself. Aneurin Bevan attributed his intellectual training to the Tredegar miners' library.

While the library and reading room took care of the intellectual needs of the population the larger institutes often catered for the social side by providing a billiards hall, a refreshment room, and a large hall which could be used for meetings or entertainment. The 'Stute, as it was popularly known, soon became the heart of the community.

The institutes were normally run by committee chosen by the workers, and a nominal fee was required from members to pay for the running costs, though some philanthropic coalowners would financially support the local institute. Following the Royal Commission for Coal in 1919, a Miners' Welfare Fund was established to provide amenities for the miners, such as communal baths, scholarships and welfare halls. This in turn led to the construction of welfare halls in the areas which to this date had no miners' institutes.

By the eve of the Second World War there were more than a hundred miners' institutes, those of note include 'Y Stiwt' in Rhosllannerchrugog, the Oakdale Miners' Institute, the Parc and Dare in the Rhondda and the Abercynon Miners' Institute. Most of the institutes survived into the 1970s but with the decline of coal many of the buildings were left to ruin. Slowly returning prosperity to former mining communities has witnessed a revival of some of the institutes, such as those at Blackwood, Llanhilleth and Newbridge, which have rebranded themselves as entertainment or arts centres.

The South Wales Miners' Library in Swansea keeps many of the collections from the institutes intact, and the Oakdale Institute has been reconstructed at St Fagans National History Museum.

**Rick Charls** is an American former high diver who held the world record for the highest dive of 172 feet (52 meters).

## Background

Charls, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, was a high school and collegiate All-American and a two-time Mid-American Conference diving champion at Ohio University.

## Career

Charls made his record-breaking dive at SeaWorld San Diego, which was viewed by millions of people on ABC's *Wide World of Sports*. The dive was performed in conjunction with the Guinness World Records and the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Since 1983, many divers have tried to break this record, but sustained injuries upon impact with the water and had to be rescued.

Charls, Rick Winters, Bruce Boccia, Mike Foley and Dana Kunze were the only divers to receive credit for the 172 feet (52 m) dive. Charls also earned honors as the 1980 world tandem high diving champion, along with third-place finishes and bronze medals at the 1982 World Target High Diving Championships in Hawaii and the World Acrobatic High Diving Championships at SeaWorld in Florida.

title: Mario Prestifilippo

abstract: Mario Prestifilippo was a member of the Sicilian Mafia. He was briefly the boss of the Ciaculli Mafia Family after Giuseppe Greco was murdered in 1985. He played a significant role as a hitman in the Second Mafia War of the early 1980s orchestrated by Salvatore Riina. He was supposedly under the orders of Michele Greco but Greco was himself regarded as little more than a puppet of Riina. He was a member of the death squad of the Corleonesi clan that was commanded by Greco and took part in many significant murders during the war from 1981–1982 including the Circonvallazione massacre on June 16, 1982. Prestifilippo was shot to death by two killers armed with a shotgun and an AK-47 as he sped through the streets of Bagheria on September 29, 1987 on a motorbike, moving from one hiding place to another. He was killed because he protested against the execution of Pino Greco, who was a close friend of his. At the time of his death he was a fugitive, suspected of dozens of murders, and was being tried in absentia at the Maxi Trial.

# Patrick Wilkinson (scholar)

**Lancelot Patrick Wilkinson** (1 June 1907 – 23 April 1985) was an English classical scholar, a don at the University of Cambridge and Dean of King's College.

During the Second World War, Wilkinson worked for Bletchley Park, the Allied code-breaking centre, and was posted overseas.

## Early life

Wilkinson was educated at Charterhouse School and King's College, Cambridge, and not long after graduating was elected as a fellow of his college.

In 1938, F. E. Adcock introduced Wilkinson to Alastair Denniston, head of the Government Code and Cypher School, and when Britain declared war on Germany in October 1939, Wilkinson was one of the first new recruits to GC&CS, together with another Cambridge man, Harry Hinsley. When seeking to recruit more suitably advanced linguists, John Tiltman turned to Wilkinson for advice, and he suggested asking Lord Lindsay of Birker, of Balliol College, Oxford, S. W. Grose, and Martin Charlesworth, of St John's College, Cambridge, to recommend classical scholars or applicants to their colleges.

Until 1943, Wilkinson worked in the Italian naval subsection. In March 1943, after the success of Operation Torch, he was posted to Algiers in French North Africa, and then to Malta, where he worked in the Lascaris Battery.

After the war, Wilkinson returned to Cambridge as a Fellow of King's College and was also Reader in Latin Literature in the university. His major publications include *Horace and his Lyric Poetry* and *The Georgics of Virgil*. He published a memoir of Sir John Sheppard.

A reviewer said of his *Ovid Recalled* (1955) “Mr Wilkinson’s approach is almost unfashionable. It is purely literary; he offers no glittering fantasies or jerks of invention, but is content to let Ovid be his own interpreter.”

In 1963, Wilkinson wrote the libretto in Latin for Benjamin Britten’s *Cantata Misericordium*, having been suggested to Britten by L. P. Hartley, who was also a fellow of King's.

With his friend Robert Bolgar, between 1969 and 1977 Wilkinson organized a series of international conferences at Cambridge with the title "Classical Influences on European Culture". He became Dean of King's College.

Wilkinson died in Cambridge in April 1985, leaving an estate valued at £97,206.

# Richard Grant (writer)

**Richard Grant** (born 1963) is a freelance British travel writer and memoirist based in Arizona.

## Life and career

He was born in Malaysia, lived in Kuwait as a boy and then moved to London. He went to school in Hammersmith and received a history degree from University College, London. After graduation, he worked as a security guard, a janitor, a house painter and a club DJ before moving to America where he lived a nomadic life in the American West, eventually settling in Tucson, Arizona, as a base from which to travel. He supported himself by writing articles for *Men's Journal*, *Esquire* and *Details*, among others. Grant and girlfriend Mariah, moved to New York City briefly, before relocation to Pluto, Mississippi in August 2012. They got married there, then moved to Jackson, Mississippi in 2015. As of 2022, Richard Grant is again living in Tucson.

Grant's first book *American Nomads* (2003, UK: *Ghost Riders*) looks at nomadism and people who choose to live on the road in America. It won the 2004 Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. Grant wrote the script for a BBC documentary called *American Nomads*, based in part on the book, which aired in the fall of 2011.

*God's Middle Finger* (UK: *Bandit Roads*, 2008) is about the lawless region of the Sierra Madre mountains in northwestern Mexico through which Grant travelled. It was nominated for the 2009 Dolman Best Travel Book Award. Grant co-wrote a screenplay about the Mexican border with Johnny Ferguson and Ruben Ruiz entitled *Tres Huevos/A Burning Thing*.

*Crazy River: Exploration and Folly in East Africa* (2011) is about Grant's travels in harrowing situations around East Africa, including an attempt at the first descent of the Malagarasi River in Tanzania.

*Dispatches from Pluto*, released in October 2015, describes his move to Pluto, Mississippi, with his then girlfriend Mariah, and their life and impressions about the Mississippi Delta. Tom Zoellner in the *New York Times* observed "Grant's British accent doubtlessly served him well, allowing him to move through the tradition-bound society of the Mississippi Delta like a neutron, without obvious allegiances or biases." It was the best-selling book in Mississippi for two years and won a Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize.

*The Deepest South of All: True Stories from Natchez, Mississippi*, sought to explore the contradictions and eccentricities of a complex city.

*A Race to the Bottom of Crazy: Dispatches from Arizona* (2024) is about Grant's return to Arizona with his wife Maria. It is a mix of memoir, research, and reporting about Arizona's culture of individualism and anecdotal stories.
