Jean-Baptiste Paulin Guérin

Self-portrait (c.1817)

Jean-Baptiste Paulin Guérin (25 March 1783, in Toulon – 19 January 1855, in Paris) was a French portrait and history painter.

Biography

He was born into a working-class family that moved to Marseille when his father acquired a locksmithing business there in 1794. During his apprenticeship in that trade, he also studied drawing at a local school and displayed some talent for it.Augustin Aubert, who he joined in Paris in 1802, financing the trip by selling works to a local Baron who was an amateur art enthusiast. After that point, he devoted himself exclusively to painting.

Portrait of Jean Lannes (1835)

For a short time, he was employed as an assistant to François Gérard while serving as an unpaid apprentice in the studios of François-André Vincent.Salon where they were generally well received.

Vivant Denon asked him to help decorate the ceiling at the Tuileries Palace, but the project was never finished due to the Bourbon Restoration. After that, he helped to renovate the Palace of Versailles and restore the paintings there.Baltimore Basilica, the oldest major Catholic structure in the United States.

Portrait of Charles Nodier (1844)

In 1822 his tableau "Anchise et Vénus" attracted the attention of King Louis XVIII, which earned him the Légion d'honneur and, two years later, the honor of painting the King's portrait. In 1828, he was appointed the Director of drawing and painting at the Maison d'éducation de la Légion d'honneur. He also gave private lessons. During the reign of King Louis Philippe, he continued to receive numerous public commissions.

A few months after his death, a major exhibition of his paintings was given at the Exposition Universelle (1855). Some of his works have been mistakenly attributed to Pierre-Narcisse Guérin or Jean-Urbain Guérin, and vice versa. Neither of them were related to him.

LIFSE

Laboratorio Industrial Farmacéutico Sociedad del Estado or LIFSE (English: Pharmaceutical Industrial Laboratory, State Society) is a state-owned enterprise that is producing and distributing pharmacy.

History

Santa Fe Province starts with the proceedings for the installation of a medicine plant, to supply the Hospital Pharmacies, which became part of the Ministry of Health National Policies. It was called: Pharmaceutical Industrial Laboratory.

By 1987 The Honorable Legislature of the Province passed the 10.069 Law. This Law states the official creation of the Medicinal Drugs Producing Laboratory (MDPL).

By 1989 The MDPL starts its role as General Direction of Medicinal Drugs Production. It has its own staff, including a Functional Organic Structure and it takes part in the budget of the Ministry of Health as an independent program.

The 11.657 Law authorizes the Executive to transform the MDPL into a State Society.

By 2007 Tha last transformation of MDPL takes place during year 2007. It becomes again the Pharmaceutical Industrial Laboratory.

In April 2008, the Ministry of Health passes the 286 Resolution to create the National Program for the Public Production of Medicines, Vaccines and Medical Products. In this context LIF SE became the first Public Laboratory to provide the Nation with the beta lactam antibiotic Cefalexin Tablets 500 mg. This was carried through the REMEDIAR Program. Continuity in supplying the Nation with Cefalexin during year 2009 was established, as well as the incorporation of the anti diabetics Glibenclamide 5 mg and the Amoxicillin 500 mg.

The constant evolution in building-technological matters, as well as in staff training, makes LIF SE to be prepared to answer to the demands of the Provincial and National Ministry of Health.

Actual LIFSE management focuses on a policy to potentiate production and make itself a variant to solve the many difficulties that may arise on Public Provincial Health. A good example of this is that the Province of Santa Fe is the only one in Argentina that will have a state trademark of its own on contraceptives and that will distribute them for free in Hospitals and to affiliated to provincial social security IAPOS.

Writings

  * Description du Royaume Thai (Thai: เรื่องเล่ากรุงสยาม)

The government of Siam is despotic in the full significance of the term. The King is feared and respected almost like a God. Nobody dares look him in the face. When the courtiers attend audiences they remain prostrated on their knees and elbows. When His Majesty passes somewhere, everybody throws himself to the ground and those who would not do this surely risk to have their eyes punctured by the archers who precede and who launch quite skillfully earthen balls with the bow they always hold ready flexed.

LIBOR market model

The LIBOR market model, also known as the BGM Model (Brace Gatarek Musiela Model, in reference to the names of some of the inventors) is a financial model of interest rates.interest rate derivatives, especially exotic derivatives like Bermudan swaptions, ratchet caps and floors, target redemption notes, autocaps, zero coupon swaptions, constant maturity swaps and spread options, among many others. The quantities that are modeled, rather than the short rate or instantaneous forward rates (like in the Heath–Jarrow–Morton framework) are a set of forward rates (also called forward LIBORs), which have the advantage of being directly observable in the market, and whose volatilities are naturally linked to traded contracts. Each forward rate is modeled by a lognormal process under its forward measure, i.e. a Black model leading to a Black formula for interest rate caps. This formula is the market standard to quote cap prices in terms of implied volatilities, hence the term "market model". The LIBOR market model may be interpreted as a collection of forward LIBOR dynamics for different forward rates with spanning tenors and maturities, each forward rate being consistent with a Black interest rate caplet formula for its canonical maturity. One can write the different rates' dynamics under a common pricing measure, for example the forward measure for a preferred single maturity, and in this case forward rates will not be lognormal under the unique measure in general, leading to the need for numerical methods such as Monte Carlo simulation or approximations like the frozen drift assumption.

Model dynamic

The LIBOR market models a set of [n] forward rates [L_{{j}}], [j=1,\ldots ,n] as lognormal processes. Under the respective [T_{j}] -Forward measure [Q_{{T_{{j+1}}}}]

[{\displaystyle dL_{j}(t)=\mu _{j}(t)L_{j}(t)dt+\sigma _{j}(t)L_{j}(t)dW^{Q_{T_{j+1}}}(t).}]


LIBOR market model

Here we can consider that [{\displaystyle \mu _{j}(t)=0,\forall t}] (centered process). Here, [L_{{j}}] is the forward rate for the period [[T_{{j}},T_{{j+1}}]]. For each single forward rate the model corresponds to the Black model.

The novelty is that, in contrast to the Black model, the LIBOR market model describes the dynamic of a whole family of forward rates under a common measure. The question now is how to switch between the different [T]-Forward measures. By means of the multivariate Girsanov's theorem one can show

[{\displaystyle dW^{Q_{T_{j}}}(t)={\begin{cases}dW^{Q_{T_{p}}}(t)-\sum \limits _{k=j+1}^{p}{\frac {\delta L_{k}(t)}{1+\delta L_{k}(t)}}{\sigma }_{k}(t){\rho }_{jk}dt&j<p\\dW^{Q_{T_{p}}}(t)&j=p\\dW^{Q_{T_{p}}}(t)+\sum \limits _{k=p+1}^{j}{\frac {\delta L_{k}(t)}{1+\delta L_{k}(t)}}{\sigma }_{k}(t){\rho }_{jk}dt&j>p\end{cases}}}]

Canadian Coast Guard College

The Canadian Coast Guard College (CCGC) is a maritime training college and Canadian Coast Guard facility located in Westmount, Nova Scotia—a suburb of the former city of Sydney in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

The CCGC core training program revolves around a 4-year Officer Cadet program that prepares navigation and engineering officers for service on Canadian Coast Guard ships. These cadets receive a Bachelor of Technology (Nautical Science) that is granted in collaboration with Cape Breton University. Other training programs include a 6-month program for Marine Communications and Traffic Services Officers that specializes in radiotelephony procedures for marine safety and vessel traffic services to co-ordinate and monitor vessel movements in Canada's territorial waters. Canadian Coast Guard officers that work in the nation's Joint Rescue Coordination Centres (JRCCs) also undertake advanced training at CCGC where a mock-up of a JRCC exists for simulation and training purposes. Additionally, various courses and training programs exist for specialized positions in CCG, including administrative courses, search and rescue, and environmental response.

History

Established in 1965 as a residential college on the site of the former navy base HMCS Protector located at Point Edward along the western shore of Sydney Harbour, CCGC's first mandate was to train young men in 4-year diplomas of Marine Engineering or Marine Navigation for the Coast Guard's Officer Training Program. The Officer Training Program expanded in 1973 to include women.

In 1981, CCGC moved from its location on the former Point Edward naval base to an adjacent custom-built 120 acre (486,000 m²) campus in neighbouring Westmount. The campus, designed by Nova Scotia Architect Keith L. Graham is located in a wooded area immediately south of Point Edward and adjacent to Petersfield Provincial Park. It consists of a variety of interlinked residential, training, administration, and health/fitness facilities. CCGC also has simulators for depicting the navigation of vessels in a variety of scenarios, dry-land mock-ups of vessel engine rooms, and a simulator for a rescue coordination centre (RCC).

CCGC has a small fleet of training vessels ranging from sail boats and rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIB) and one 47-foot (14 m) motor life boat- all housed in a custom-built boathouse on the college's waterfront along a small cove.

Mausoleum of Mateiaș

Mausoleum of Mateiaș

Heroes' Mausoleum, in the commune of Valea Mare-Pravăț, Argeș County, Romania, also known as the Mausoleum of Mateiaș, is a historic monument dedicated to the heroes of the war of 1916–1918, considered by Romanians as the War for National Integration. It is located on the European Route E574 (DN 73), 11 km from Câmpulung towards Brașov, on Mateiaș Hill.

The monument is listed at position no. 1010, with the code AG-IV-m-A-14017, in the "List of historical monuments", updated by the Order of the Minister of Culture and Religion no. 2314/July 8, 2004.

History

Here in the Mateiaș area, Nămăiesti Group, led by General Traian Găiseanu and comprising the 22nd and 12th Infantry Divisions, succeeded in resisting a clearly better-equipped and much better prepared enemy, during the period 8 October to 23 November 1916 (New Style). Through the fighting here, the advance of the Central Powers towards the Wallachian Plain was stopped, but due to the breakthrough of the front on Jiu, the soldiers of the 2 divisions were ordered to withdraw - undefeated - on November 16/29, 1916, towards Târgoviște.

Osuarry in the Mausoleum of Mateiaș

The mausoleum was built between 1928 and 1935, according to the plans of the architects Dumitru Ionescu-Berechet and State Baloșin, by the builder De Nicolo. Limestone from Albești was mainly used in the construction.

The building is composed of two parts: a horizontal one (the ossuary) which houses the bones of over 2,300 Romanian soldiers in 31 crypts, and a vertical one, in the shape of a tower with a spiral staircase leading to a pavilion. Due to the infiltration of water through the limestone walls, between 1945 and 1976 the Monument to the Heroes of Mateiaș was subjected to repair works. The earthquake of March 4, 1977 caused numerous cracks, so in 1978 consolidation work was undertaken.

History

False Bay High SchoolSouth Africa. By the end of the year, there were 26 students in the school. The original name of the school was Helderberg Private School.

Musicology in Cuba

Throughout the years, the Cuban nation has developed a wealth of musicological material created by numerous investigators and experts on this subject.

Early 20th century

Apart from the work of some authors who provided information about the music in Cuba during the 19th century, that was usually included in chronicles covering a more general subject, the first investigations and studies specifically dedicated to the musical art and practice did not appear in Cuba until the beginning of the 20th century.

At that time, musicological research and documentation in Cuba was not undertaken by professionals fully dedicated to that subject, but instead it was conducted by historians, ethnologists or composers such as polymath Fernando Ortiz (b. 1881) or composer Eduardo Sánchez de Fuentes (b. 1874). The controversy sustained by these distinguished personalities in reference to the possible African (or indigenous) roots of Cuban music spanned several decades, from the 1930s to the 1950s.

Another important personality, María Muñoz (b. 1886), a Galician pianist, professor and choir conductor that graduated at the Madrid Conservatory under the guidance of Manuel de Falla, developed an outstanding musical activity in Cuba. Together with her husband Antonio Quevedo, she co-founded the Society of Contemporary Music in 1929, promoted the cultural journal “Musicalia” and founded the Havana Choral Society.Havana University from the 1930s. Those courses nurtured and stimulated the careers of some future outstanding musicologists such as María Teresa Linares Savio (b. 1920).

One of the earliest contribution to musicological studies in Cuba was provided by Emilio Grenet, brother of the famous Cuban composer Eliseo Grenet.

Emilio Grenet was born in Havana in 1901 and passed away in the same city, in 1941. He studied Sight-reading and Music theory with professor Armando Laguardia and worked as a pianist in New York City in 1923. After returning to Cuba he traveled to Spain where he met composer Joaquín Turina who introduced him to his professor of Harmony, Conrado del Campo.

Grenet returned again to Cuba where he worked in the Education Ministry Radio Station, started his investigations about the genres of Cuban popular music and travelled to New York City to record with the orchestra of his brother Eliseo Grenet. He taught Musical composition to the renowned Cuban conductor Enrique González Mántici and Harmony to the composer and guitarist Vicente González Rubiera (Guyún).


Musicology in Cuba

In 1939, Grenet published his important work "Cuban popular music", which represented a serious study of the Cuban popular music genres, and a thorough insight into the most important aspects of the musical creation in Cuba, from the 19th Century until that time. The book also included 80 scores of representative compositions.

1940s and 1950s

Alejo Carpentier.

In 1946, the famous Cuban writer, art critic and musicologist Alejo Carpentier (b. 104) established a benchmark with his work “La música en Cuba” (1946), an attempt to put together a comprehensive history of Cuban music from the 16th century until his time. Although the work presented as facts some controversial historical issues, such as the origins of the well known “Son de la Mateodora” and the “Cuban Contradanza”, this important study (based on extensive investigations conducted by Carpentier) offered a deep insight into Cuban music history never witnessed before.

Coincidentally, young composers and musicologists such as Argeliers León (b. 1918) and Hilario González (b. 1920) were diligently working along with José Ardévol at “Grupo de Renovación Musical” to improve and renovate the Cuban musical panorama.Argeliers León continued offering the musicology summer courses started by María Muñoz and Fernando Ortiz at the Havana University and served as a professor of such prominent students as pianist and professor Ana Margarita Aguilera Ripoll (b. 1903), author of the important compilation of children songs “Cancionero Infantil de Hispanoamérica.” Other contemporary Cuban musicologists were María Antonieta Henriquez, founder of the National Museum of Music, and Lydia Cabrera, an anthropologist renowned for her studies of Afro-Cuban music.

Post revolutionary period (1959)


Musicology in Cuba

Post revolutionary period (1959)

After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Pablo Hernández Balaguer (b. 1928) was teaching musicology at the Oriente University, an educational institution that offered the first Music Degree in the history of Cuba. Balaguer conducted an important study about the work of composer Esteban Salas and published the Music Catalog from the archives of the Santiago de Cuba Cathedral. He was a professor of several distinguished musicologists such as Virtudes Feliú Herrera (b. 1941), who conducted a thorough research into Cuban historical ritual and festive traditions. Her work has been compiled in the “Ethnographic Atlas of Cuba,” which received an award from the Cuban Academy of Science.

Argeliers León and his wife María Teresa Linares Savio were the leading figures of Cuban musicology during the early decades after the Cuban Revolution (1959). Between 1961 and 1970, León was de director of the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore at the Academy of Sciences of Cuba and he also headed the Folklore Department at the National Theater of Cuba, the Music Department of the José Martí National Library and the Music Department at Casa de Las Américas. He served as professor at the Havana Municipal Conservatory, taught African cultures in Cuba at the Havana University and musicology at the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA). As a musicologist he published several books which included Del Canto y el Tiempo (1974), where he proposed a subdivision in “generic complexes” to study the musical styles in Cuba.

María Teresa Linares conducted extensive investigation on several areas of Cuban music history and published numerous books and articles. She worked as a professor at the Alejandro García Caturla Conservatory, the Havana University and the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore at the Academy of Sciences. Until year 2000 she was the director of the Museum of Music, and at a later time she was affiliated to the Fernando Ortiz Foundation.


Musicology in Cuba

During the first decade of the Cuban Revolution (1960 to 1970) an emerging generation of musicologists started to acquire recognition within the Cuban musical scene. We should mention, in first place, two humble and dedicated investigators that had certain common characteristics. They both had university backgrounds and worked for many years at the José Martí National Library as researchers; also their main subjects of investigation were somewhat related to the musicological work of Alejo Carpentier. Alberto Muguercia (b. 19280), a lawyer from Santiago de Cuba holds the honor of having refuted one of the greatest myths in the history of Cuban music: The “Son de la Ma Teodora” origins. In his famous book “La música en Cuba”, Alejo Carpentier categorically attributed a 16th-century origin to a popular melody called Son de la Ma Teodora without conducting a thorough investigation about the subject, thus establishing an erroneous fact as a popular tradition. In a brilliant article about this subject: “Teodora Ginés: ¿Mito o realidad histórica? Muguercia demonstrated the inaccuracy of this theory.

In turn, Zolia Lapique (b. 1930), a librarian and historian, refuted a theory formulated by Carpentier in reference to the French-Haitian origin of the “Contradanza Cubana”. She attributed an earlier development and other possible origins (Spanish and English) to this musical style in her outstanding article: “Aportes Franco-Haitianos a la contradanza cubana: mitos y realidades.” Danilo Orozco (b. 1944) and Alberto Faya (1944).

The second generation (1970s) and beyond

The members of the second generation of Cuban musicologists that appeared during the Cuban Revolution period, graduated in their great majority either from the Havana Municipal Conservatory or the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA), which from 1976 offered the first Musicology Degree in the history of Cuba. Many of them worked at a later time at the newly created Centro para la investigación y desarrollo de la música cubana (CIDMUC), founded in 1978.

Rolando Antonio Pérez Fernández, musicólogo, violonchelista y profesor cubano.


Musicology in Cuba

Two other important musicologists from this generation are: Alberto Alén Pérez (b. 1948) and Rolando Antonio Pérez Fernández (b. 1947). Alberto Alén applied his extensive knowledge of psychology and statistics to musical form analysis as well as music pedagogy, in publications such as: “La forma de las formas musicales” and “Diagnosticar la musicalidad”. Rolando Pérez developed extensive investigations about Afro-Cuban music and is well known for having documented and analyzed the process of transition from ternary rhythms to binary rhythms of the Cuban and Latin American popular music, during the 18th and 19th centuries, in his book: “Proceso de binarización de los ritmos ternarios africanos en América Latina (1987).”

Olavo Alén (b. 1947) has closely followed the steps of Argeliers León in his studies of Afro-Cuban music and, most importantly, has elaborated and expanded León's theory of “generic complexes”, in works such as: “Géneros de la música cubana” from 1976.

Those theories have been strongly refuted by other musicologists such as Leonardo Acosta, who explains in his article “De los complejos genéricos y otras cuestiones”:

“Fortunately, the theology [sic] of generic complexes has been viewed with skepticism in musicological circles of several countries, including Cuba, where quite a few musicologists have oscillated [in his opinion]

Other members of this Group are renowned musicologists Martha Ezquenazi (1949), Jesús Gómez Cairo (1949) and Dora Ileana Torres (1956).

Most recently, a group of young Cuban musicologists have earned a well deserved reputation within the international academic field, due to their solid investigative work. Some of the most prominent members of this group are: Miriam Escudero Suástegui, Liliana González Moreno, Iván César Morales Flores

  * Music of Cuba


Luis Zubillaga

Luis Zubillaga (1928–1995) was an Argentine composer and educator. He was born in Flores, Buenos Aires and was the lifelong partner of artist Elda Cerrato. As an adolescent, he felt that music, especially jazz, was his calling. From 1948 to 1952, he studied trumpet, theory and harmony with Bernardo Barbará; piano, harmony and composition with Cayetano Marcolli; and from 1955 to 1959, he studied composition with Juan Carlos Paz.

After living in Venezuela from 1960–1963, Zubillaga returned to Argentina and took up lectureship at the National University of Tucuman in 1964. Further appointments were held at the National University of La Plata, the Central University of Venezuela and the Conservatory of Music in Moron, Argentina. Awarded with the grant by the Centro Latinoamericano de Altos Estudios Musicales (CLAEM) for the period 1969-70. In 1973, he served as Artistic Director of Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires.

Zubillaga as composer

Zubillaga's passion and uniqueness as a composer is inseparable from his spiritual search. As a youth, he felt deeply moved by the music of George Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann. Gurdjieff’s teachings remained with him through his entire life. Nevertheless, Zubillaga’s music does not only intend to re-enact highly charged emotional inner landscapes, but also envelops his political militancy and the cultural struggle of 20th-century Latin America.

A composer of more than 30 works, Zubillaga himself divides his output into three stages. Notable works from his first period (1961–1966) include "Haiku", "Passages in Fluctuation", both for solo piano, "Directions" for String Quartet, as well as "Music for 10 Instruments" for the film El Huerco (Hell). The turning point arrived in 1967, with his music taking on more expressive nuances of the imagery, such as the effects of "Ambientes" for solo piano, composed in 1967. In 1968, he became a member of the New Music Group (Agrupacion Nueva Musica) presided by his teacher Juan Carlos Paz.


Luis Zubillaga

His third period began from 1970 when his music becomes more improvisatory, perhaps due to his experiences playing in the Group of Improvisation (Grupo de Improvisacion) with Enrique Gerardi and Jorge Blarduni. Representative pieces include "Cuando estamos, cuando no estamos" for 8 instruments including the sitar and "Todos los dias… ninguno" for chamber ensemble, which won the composition award at the Simon Bolivar University in 1978.

Sounds of the trumpet and brasses continue to be featured in his compositions from the 1980s, cumulating in the piece "Trumpets in September", composed in 1991. Music from this final period often reminiscence on events or places from the past with titles like "That Afternoon in That House" and "Once…" Two other pieces were dedicated to his wife and one to his son; the latter has yet to be performed.

Zubillaga as educator

As the founding member and artistic director of the Young Symphonic Orchestra (Orquesta Sinfonica Juvenil) at the University of La Plata, he organised the Second Meeting of Latin American Young Symphonic Orchestras, Critics and Composers, in 1985. He further established a couple of associations, becoming the president of CULTRUN Composers Association in 1989 and vice president of the Argentine Federation of Composers in 1991.

His son, the filmmaker Luciano Zubillaga, based his short film entitled Music for a Missing Film (Musica para un film perdido) on the 1962 film score for El Huerco. The short film was presented the London Artists Film and Video Awards (LAFVA) in 2008 and debuted at the 48th Ann Arbor Film Festival in April 2010.

The piece Ongilash (1964) will receive her posthumous premiere on Friday 5 October 2012 by the National Symphony Orchestra (Orquestra Sinfonica Nacional) at the Auditorio de Belgrano, Buenos Aires. Dedicated to his newborn son, the short piece is included in a programme along with Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 K491 and Rachmaninov's The Bells Op. 35.

Daniel Angelocrator

Daniel Angelocrator (1569 – 1635), real surname Engelhardt, was a German Reformed minister.

Life

He was born on 19 October 1569 in Korbach. He studied theology at the University of Marburg and University of Franeker from 1588 to 1589. Angelocrater then took a job accompanying two young aristocrats to the Universities of Marburg and Helmstedt. In 1594 he clashed with his father over his Calvinism, moved to Geneva and stayed with a former pupil.

Angelocrater then was employed in the High School of Stade. From 1597 to 1606 he was a prominent minister in Hesse-Kassel, in various cities. Maurice, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel in 1607 made him Archdeacon of Marburg, and 1614 the Superintendent. He was one of the delegates to the Synod of Dort in 1618.

In the Thirty Years' War the neighbouring Lutheran state of Hesse-Darmstadt was opposed to Hesse-Kassel, and in 1624 Angelocrator had to leave to escape its troops. As minister of Gudensberg, and supervising Obervorschütz, he then lost everything in 1626 to the pillaging Imperial troops of Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly. He was appointed to the consistory at Kassel, and then went in 1627 to Köthen, where he died on 30 July 1635.

Bye, Bye Bluebeard

Bye, Bye Bluebeard is a Warner Brothers cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series released on October 21, 1949.Arthur Davis and stars Porky Pig. The title is a play on the song "Bye Bye Blackbird". It is the final Looney Tunes entry directed by Davis before his animation unit was dissolved by Warner Bros and also a rare example of a Warner Brothers short in which a character (apparently) dies without a comic postscript (for example, reappearing as an angel or a ghost).

Plot

Porky Pig is eating large amounts of food to the rhythm of an exercise radio broadcast. A mouse then proceeds to sneak up and makes a sandwich out of Porky's finger by accident. Porky then tries to drive the mouse off, but then he is suddenly startled by a radio announcement that a Russian serial killer nicknamed “Bluebeard” is at large and Porky frantically bars and locks up his house. The mouse then decides to take advantage of Porky's fear by disguising himself as Bluebeard (causing Porky to literally jump out of his skin) and threatening Porky until he offers him some food. As Porky is busy getting the mouse a drink, he is alerted by a radio newsflash that gives Bluebeard's height as 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m). Realizing he was tricked, Porky then measures the rodent as 0 ft 3 in (0.08 m), confirming his suspicions. The rodent unsuccessfully tries to scare Porky with a few evil laughs, each now meeker than the last, and Porky then pursues the mouse with a meat cleaver. Spotting what appears to be the mouse's fake beard under the table, Porky yanks at it to force the mouse out but ends up pulling out the real Bluebeard (who had been apparently hiding underneath the table the whole time) by accident. An oblivious Porky sees the mouse in front of him, who points to Bluebeard behind Porky. Porky realizes the character whose beard he had been yanking on correctly matches the description from the radio broadcast, terrifying the pig.


Bye, Bye Bluebeard

Bluebeard then straps Porky to a rocket before proceeding to eat his food. He spots the mouse—who pretends to be Bluebeard's conscience—and tries to eat him, resulting in a chase that ends with Bluebeard getting hit five times by the mouse with pies to the face in various containers. Meanwhile, Porky manages to stop the fuse on the rocket and Bluebeard, deciding to ignore the mouse, builds a guillotine to kill Porky instead. Just as Porky is about to be executed by Bluebeard, the mouse decides to help Porky by tricking Bluebeard into eating some bombs, which the murderer mistakes for popovers. After consuming them, Bluebeard sees smoke emitting from his mouth and frantically takes to the medicine cabinet, mixing together every drug in it. Before he can administer the resulting concoction, however, the bombs inside him explode, killing him. In the final scene, Porky happily shares a meal with the mouse in gratitude for saving his life. The mouse indicates his fat stomach to the audience and pats it contently.

The memorial has its origins in the will of Henry Harteau, a notable citizen of Brooklyn who died in 1895. Harteau had served in numerous government positions in the city throughout his life, including as a parks commissioner under Brooklyn Mayor Daniel D. Whitney. In his will, he stipulated that, after the death of his wife, $35,000 would be allocated to the city of Brooklyn to fund the erection of a statue in honor of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette in the city's Prospect Park. Despite legal challenges to the will and the consolidation of New York City, when his widow died in 1913, efforts were made to erect a monument for the Marquis de Lafayette.painting Lafayette at Yorktown by Jean-Baptiste Le Paon.

Identity of the groom

Lafayette at Yorktown by Jean-Baptiste Le Paon, c. 1783

According to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, there is some debate among scholars as to the identity of the figure alongside Lafayette in the painting that the memorial is based upon, with some positing that it is James Armistead Lafayette, an enslaved African American who served under Lafayette during the American Revolutionary War. After the war, Lafayette helped him gain his freedom, leading to Armistead adopting the last name "Lafayette" as a sign of respect.Intelligencer claims definitively that the painting depicts Armistead,
