SunButter

SunButter is a brand of sunflower seed butter. It is an edible food paste similar to peanut butter, mainly used as a sandwich spread by people with peanut allergies and/or tree nut allergies. SunButter is manufactured by SunGold Foods, Inc. in Fargo, North Dakota.

History

Beginning in 2000, in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, SunGold Foods' parent company, Red River Commodities, began a two-year project to develop a substitute for peanut butter that would be made from sunflower seeds.

At that same time, Red River Commodities invested in new sunflower seed hybrids and specialized production areas, formed SunGold Foods, Inc. and created a peanut-free and tree-nut free food processing, packaging, distribution and shipping environment at both companies' locations.

The substitute for peanut butter, introduced in 2002, became known as SunButter.

Health benefits

Sunflower seeds are a good source of protein, fiber, vitamin E, zinc and iron. SunButter is currently used as an added ingredient in a variety of foods, including energy bars from Enjoy Life Foods and EnerPro, granola, premade sandwiches and a no-peanut peanut sauce.

Distribution

SunButter is now available in a variety of flavors, and is found in grocery chains and health food stores. It is used in many institutional foodservice programs, including public and private schools and school districts that have become peanut-free and tree-nut free as part of the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Management Act (FAAMA), which calls for voluntary national guidelines to help schools manage students affected by food allergy and anaphylaxis.

Ramruma

Ramruma (foaled 17 February 1996) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse who was bred in the United States, but trained in the United Kingdom during a racing career which lasted from September 1998 until September 2000. In 1999, Ramruma won five of her six races including three Group One races: The Oaks and the Irish Oaks against other three-year-old fillies and the Yorkshire Oaks in which she also defeated older fillies and mares. Her performances led to Ramruma being named European Champion Two-Year-Old Filly at the Cartier Racing Awards. She was retired after failing to win in three starts as a four-year-old in 2000.

Background

Ramruma, a small,star,Kentucky branch of her owner, Fahd bin Salman's Newgate Stud,Diesis out of the mare Princess of Man.Middle Park Stakes and the Dewhurst Stakes in 1982, before becoming an "excellent" sire, producing the winners of at least 25 Group One races including Halling, Diminuendo and Elmaamul.Musidora Stakes in 1978. In addition to Ramruma she was the dam of the Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Ausherra.

The filly was sent into training with Henry Cecil at the Warren Place stable at Newmarket, Suffolk.

"Ramruma" was the pet name of Fahd bin Salman's youngest daughter Reema.

Racing career

1998: two-year-old season

Ramruma's career began with two runs in one mile maiden races in the autumn of 1998. At Sandown in September, she ran third to the odds-on Social Scene, staying on steadily in the last two furlongs and looking as though she would be "better for the race".

Three weeks later Ramruma was made 11/8 favourite for a similar event at Nottingham. She disappointed her backers, however, appearing to lack pace at a crucial stage and never getting on terms with the outsider Magda, who led from the start and won by three lengths.

1999: three-year-old season

1999: three-year-old season

Spring

On her three-year-old debut, Ramruma was matched against colts in a one and a half mile maiden race at the Craven meeting at Newmarket. Ramruma showed the first signs of her true ability, taking the lead two furlongs out and pulling well clear to win by three and a half lengths from the future Singapore Derby winner All The Way, despite being eased down in the closing stages.Listed class for the Lingfield Oaks Trial for which she was made odds-on favourite. Kieren Fallon sent the filly into the lead three furlongs out, and she ran on strongly to go clear in the final furlong and win by one and a half lengths.Racing Post called the performance "unspectacular" but the bookmakers responded by cutting her odds for the Oaks to 3/1.

Summer

Following her trial win, Ramruma was sent to Epsom for the Oaks, in which she started the 3/1 second favourite behind the Godolphin filly Zahrat Dubai, winner of the Musidora Stakes. Fallon settled the filly just behind the leaders before moving her up to take the lead two furlongs out. Ramruma accelerated clear of her the field and was never in danger of defeat,

The ground for the Irish Oaks at The Curragh a month later was significantly firmer, but the opposition was not particularly strong and Ramruma was made 4/9 favourite. Fallon sent Ramruma into the lead entering the straight and she soon went well clear of the field. She was eased down towards the finish but still crossed the line seven lengths in front.St Leger and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe were suggested as possible targets, with the bookmakers offering her at 4/1 and 16/1 for the races respectively.

After Fallon was sacked from his job as Cecil's stable jockey,Pat Eddery took over the ride on Ramruma for the Yorkshire Oaks at York in August. The early pace was slow and Eddery sent Ramruma to the front after three furlongs.Lancashire Oaks winner Ela Athena with the Princess Royal Stakes winner Silver Rhapsody in third.

Autumn

The male opposition did not appear to be particularly strong, and Ramruma was made odds-on favourite ahead of the King Edward VII Stakes winner Mutafaweq. Ramruma raced prominently and took the lead three furlongs out to the delight of the crowd but she was soon challenged and headed by Mutafaweq. The filly rallied "valiantly"

2000: four-year-old season

Ramruma was made favourite for her four-year-old debut in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket in May. After racing prominently she weakened badly in the closing stages and finished lame.

In August Ramruma returned to attempt a second win in the Yorkshire Oaks.

On her final start, Ramruma was dropped down to Listed class for the Harvest Stakes at Ascot in September 2000. She was made odds-on favourite, but failed to recapture her old form, finishing four and a half lengths third behind Riyafa.

My Lady Molly

Richard Green (left) as Captain Harry Romner, Walter Hyde as Lionel Bland, Sybil Arundale as Lady Molly, and Decima Moore (right) as Alice Coverdale in My Lady Molly (1903)

My Lady Molly is a 'comedy opera' in two acts with a libretto by George H. Jessop, with additional lyrics by Percy Greenbank and Charles H. Taylor, and music by Sidney Jones. The story centers around Lady Molly Martingale, a vivacious young woman, who disguises herself as a man to win the man she loves.

The piece opened at the Theatre Royal in Brighton, England, on 11 August 1902 and then at Terry's Theatre in London on 14 March 1903, under the management of Frederick Mouillot, running for 342 performances. It starred Sybil Arundale and featured Decima Moore. It also enjoyed tours and had a brief Broadway run.

My Lady Molly was the last successful English comic opera in the tradition of Alfred Cellier's Dorothy and Arthur Sullivan's Haddon Hall, as distinguished from the style of the lighter Edwardian musical comedies of the period. A review in The Daily Mail stated:

The audience rejoiced over a departure from the stereotyped, and often vulgar, methods of so-called "musical comedy," and gladly welcomed a clever and artistic comic opera ... brim full of humour and melody. ... Mr. Sidney Jones's pre-eminence among the lighter musical composers [is] amply reflected. ... My Lady Molly is very handsomely and elaborately dressed. ... Miss Sybil Arundale ... is literally as pretty as a picture, playing and singing with a modesty and refinement worthy all praise. The audience showered favours upon her, and her triumph was undoubted. [Hyde, Green and] Moore effectively assisted to procure the general success, and Mr. Bert Gilbert made a great hit as the Irish servant. ... The book ... has been neatly written. ... Great enthusiasm reigned at the fall of the curtain, and Mr. Jones had a fine reception.

MIT Chrysalis

The Chrysalis was a human-powered biplane, designed and built by graduates and undergraduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with Professor Eugene Larabee acting as Project Adviser.BURD and BURD II, both of which were unsuccessful.

Design work began in late 1978, with a 1/8th scale flying model being built to verify aspects of the design.Chrysalis was a biplane of conventional configuration, fitted with a tractor propeller. The biplane's wire-braced wings were unstaggered, and the outboard panels of the lower wing were set with a 6° dihedral. The fuselage was of the pod-and-boom type. The aircraft had a primary structure of aluminum tubing, and a secondary structure made of styrofoam, balsa, and carbon fibre.

Construction of the aircraft took 91 days, and involved 20 people and 3,500 hours of work.Hanscom Field airport in Bedford, Massachusetts with designer Harold Youngren piloting the craft.Chrysalis made a total of 345 flights, with 44 different pilots.

The Chrysalis was notable for being the first aircraft to use a 'minimum induced loss' propeller, the design of which was based on the work of Professor Eugene Larrabee.MacCready Gossamer Albatross.

The USAT Meigs (sometimes incorrectly called USS Meigs) was a United States Army transport ship that was built in 1921 and sunk in Darwin Harbour in the first Japanese air raid against the Australia mainland on 19 February 1942.

The ship's keel was laid 30 July 1920Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company (later Todd Pacific Shipyards) at San Pedro, CaliforniaUnited States Shipping Board as West Lewark. She had a steel hull, measured 7,358 GRT (also cited as 11,358 DWT),430.7 ft (131.3 m), 54.3 ft (16.6 m) beam and 26.2 ft (8.0 m) depth.

Peacetime service

After delivery the ship was operated by the Williams, Diamond & Company, Pacific Coast shippers for the Pacific Coast-European trade.West Lewark and sister ship, West Faralon were placed in the company's Pacific Coast-European trade with West Lewark making an initial port call at Glasgow, Scotland.Meigs.

USAT Meigs was one of the small fleet the Army maintained during the inter-war years and operated in the PacificLudington, Meigs was one of only two Army owned freight transports.Meigs found an oil slick along the course of the lost Pan American flying boat Hawaii Clipper about 500 miles from Manila, took samples and stood by for further investigation.

War service

Shortly before the US entry into World War II, the ship was given the tentative Navy hull number AK-34 under an agreement that Navy would take over then commission and crew any Army transports operating in areas of potential naval opposition. The reality of war resulted in a December 1941 Presidential order suspending that agreement and the hull number is listed by Navy as "not used."


USAT Meigs

USAT Meigs was part of the Pensacola Convoy attempting to reinforce the Philippines in the early stages of the Pacific War and held at Fiji when it was evident the Japanese were already invading the Philippines. Despite a military decision to bring the convoy back to Hawaii or the West Coast, a presidential decision routed the ships to Australia to attempt Philippine support from there.USS Houston and smaller escorts, that had departed on 15 February 1942 in an attempt to reinforce the island of Timor, she returned to the Australian town of Darwin, Northern Territory.

On 19 February 1942 Japanese aircraft attacked Darwin's land and shipping targets in two waves.Meigs was one of six ships sunk, with one of its crew of 66 killed, after being struck by a number of bombs and aerial torpedoes.

Wreck

Although the superstructure of the wreck was salvaged after the war by Fujita Salvage of Osaka, Japan, the cargo of munitions, railway rails, Bren gun carriers and trucks intended for Allied forces in Portuguese Timor remains. The Meigs is now a dive site, where the remnants of the cargo are as visible as the remains of the vessel itself.

Namesakes

The name USS Meigs is incorrectly applied to the USAT Meigs and also, properly, to the USS General M. C. Meigs (AP-116), which served in the Korean War.

There was also a small Quartermaster Corps passenger and freight steamer built in 1892 by John H. Dialogue & Son, Camden New Jersey, and serving in the early 20th century named General Meigs.

SunRocket

SunRocket was a U.S.-based VoIP provider established in early 2004 by Joyce Dorris and Paul Erickson, former MCI executives. Sunrocket was one of several companies to offer an inexpensive telephone service that competed against the traditional phone companies by using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.

Dorris and Erickson departed the company in February 2007 along with roughly 30 other employees based at SunRocket's corporate headquarters in Vienna, Virginia.

On August 23, 2007, SunRocket filed a lawsuit against Vonage for violating a confidentiality agreement, by using SunRocket's customer lists. Vonage claims to have bought the customer lists from a third party, Paradysz Matera. In the complaint, SunRocket claims that Vonage has exposed them to privacy related lawsuits from customers.

In early 2009 the SunRocket.com domain and related trademarks were purchased from the estate of SunRocket, Inc. by a private equity firm in San Diego, California. As of mid-2011 the new firm is providing wireless and VoIP services, online and mobile gaming, on-demand video, and music streaming and downloading under the SunRocket name.


The Child's Bath

The Child's Bath (or The Bath) is an 1893 oil painting by American artist Mary Cassatt. The painting continues her interest in depicting bathing and motherhood, but it is distinct in its angle of vision. Both the subject matter and the overhead perspective were inspired by Japanese Woodcut prints and Edgar Degas.

It was bought by the Art Institute of Chicago in 1910, and has since become one of the most popular pieces in the museum.

Subject matter

Bathing

Workshop of Giovanni Bellini, Madonna and Child, 1510, oil on wood, 34.3 x 27.6 cm, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City

In the mid-1880s, there were several cholera outbreaks in France, and public health campaigns called on people to bathe regularly.

Mother-child relationship

Cassatt's interest in portraying the mother-child relationship first became clear when she started specializing in drypoints and pastels after 1887, and she intended to bring out the “psychological, sociological, and spiritual meaning” from everyday routines and subjects.

Mary Cassatt, Mother and Child, 1890, oil on canvas 64.26 x 89.66 cm, private collection.

The mother-child relationship was a common theme among French artists in 1890 and popularized through several influential artists at the time.Correggio and other Italian and Spanish masters, especially their traditional portrayals of Madonna and Christ Child.Impressionist, she hoped to discover new techniques and approaches to the theme by bringing it into the contemporary context.

Cassatt's depiction of mother and child relations in the 1890s revolutionized traditional religious subjects by casting them in a “secular and naturalistic” context.Renaissance art, she was called “la sainte famille modern” by her dealers such as Paul Durand-Ruel.

In the depiction of mothers, Cassatt consciously avoided using the female nude, which she considered as an appeal to men's treatment of women as erotic objects. Rather, she wished to emphasize the “moral sensibility and totality” of women's lives and only to suggest their sexuality through maternal relationships. The act of touching between the mother and the child in her works serves to indicate emotional and physical gratification as well as a feeling of protection and intimacy.

Description


The Child's Bath

Description

The genre painting depicts a mother bathing a young child: an everyday scene that is "special by not being special".

The woman is sitting on an oriental carpet, with the child on her knees. The child has a white cloth swathed around its abdomen, and the woman is wearing a dress with strong vertical stripes of green, pink and white. The woman holds the infant firmly and protectively around its waist with her left hand while the other hand carefully washes the child's bare limbs in a basin of water, resting on the floor beside a jug decorated with a floral pattern. The chubby left arm of the child braces against the mother's leg, while its other hand grips the child's own right thigh. The mother's right hand presses firmly but still gently on the child's right foot in the basin, mimicking the child's own pressure on her thigh. In the background are floral patterns of painted furniture and wallpaper.

To indicate depth, Cassatt painted the faces receding into space. The paint strokes are layered and rough, creating thick lines that outline the figures and make them stand out from the patterned background. The hand of the artist is evident through the roughness of the strokes.

Stylistic analysis

Patterns and colors

Many scholars have noted that The Child’s Bath recaptures the qualities present in her previous work by utilizing similar techniques. The composition is divided into two parts: the patterned area in the background and the pink and white area of the figure.

Angle of vision

The most distinctive feature of the painting is the angle of vision, which creates the sense of hovering above the scene. This perspective draws the viewer's attention to the two figures while giving a complete view of the surrounding space,

Composition

Cassatt also created a cohesive composition through the gestures of the figures and geometrical resonances. The stripes of the mother's dress echo her straight arms, coinciding with the child's linear limbs.


The Child's Bath

Overall, art historian Griselda Pollock suggests that unlike Cassatt's previous works, in which these formal devices were used to convey “unexpected symbolic meaning” within an ordinary action, The Child’s Bath underscores the actions of the mother and child rather than their relationship in particular.Nancy Mowll Mathews suggests that the two figures appear to be serious and solemn, rather than playful and fully relaxed; this formality of the scene makes the mother and her child seem to be “engaging in a sacred site” and resembles “Madonna washing the feet of the Christ Child”.

Influences

Both the subject matter and the unusual perspective of the painting, viewing the foreshortened subjects from above, were inspired by Japanese prints and Degas. "Japanese printmakers were more interested in decorative impact than precise perspective."

Edgar Degas, Woman at Her Toilette, 1900-1905, pastel on tracing paper, 75 × 72 cm, The Art Institute of Chicago

Comparison with Edgar Degas

Cassatt was heavily influenced by some of her Impressionist peers, especially Edgar Degas. The first Impressionist painting to travel to the United States was a pastel by Degas in 1875 that she purchased. Cassatt began to exhibit with the Impressionists in 1877, where she met other fellow Impressionists such as Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot.

The devices Cassatt deployed in The Child’s Bath were influenced by Degas: particularly, the subject of bathing and the acute angle of vision. However, Cassatt's manipulation carries a different focus and evokes more heightened emotions. Both artists often depicted their bathers with "a lack of self-consciousness”,

Comparison with Japanese woodcuts


The Child's Bath

Comparison with Japanese woodcuts

Cassatt was struck by the Japanese ukiyo-e woodcut prints exhibited at the Beaux-Arts Academy in Paris in 1890, three years before painting The Child's Bath. Cassatt was drawn to the simplicity and clarity of the Japanese art, and the skillful use of blocks of color, such as the c.1801 print "Woman Washing a Baby in a Tub" or "Bathtime" (行水, Gyōzui) by Kitagawa Utamaro. Not only did Utamaro's techniques speak to Cassatt, his depiction of the mother and child relationship, conveying intimacy and sympathy, also inspired her.The Child’s Bath resembles the shape of Japanese prints by utilizing an “extended vertical format” along with the long straight limbs of the figures.

Provenance

During the late 1880s to 1890s, France favored domestic artists, and this made Cassatt feel excluded, prompting her to turn her attention back to her native country, the United States. Even though she was initially met with ambivalence from critics, the assistance of Paul Durand-Ruel was able to assure her success and status as an American artist.


The Child's Bath

The artist sold the painting to Durand-Ruel and it was exhibited at the Durand-Ruel gallery in Paris in late 1893 under the title La Toilette de l'Enfant. It was sold to Connecticut industrialist and art collector Harris Whittemore in 1894, but lent back to Durand-Ruel for an exhibition at their New York gallery in 1895 under the title La Toilette. In order to help Cassatt achieve her goals in the U.S., Durand-Ruel explored new ways to expand Cassatt's American audience: through museums and institution exhibitions. When the artist returned home in 1897, Durand-Ruel first submitted The Child’s Bath and Reverie (Also known as Woman with a Red Zinnia) to the annual exhibition at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in early 1898.The Child’s Bath along with her other works in multiple major cities in the U.S. from 1897 to the early 1900s, and this successfully established Cassatt as an American artist.

The painting was sold to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1910.

Verville Sport Trainer AT

The Verville Sport Trainer AT was a two-seat tandem biplane designed by Alfred V. Verville as a civilian version of the YPT-10 primary trainer, intended to appeal to the wealthy private owner.

The White Aircraft Company bought the rights to the AT in 1939.

Civilian version

The Sportsman, as it was also known,

One AT was built for NACA testing in 1930, and was designated the AT-4. It had modified wide landing gear with added fittings for pontoons, which may or may not have been used. The colors were a blue fuselage, silver wings, yellow stripe. Special equipment included: EDO pontoon fittings with structural bearing, steel interplane struts.

One AT was modified in 1931 for Lycoming Manufacturing Company of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It was designated the LT Sportsman. It was fitted with a 210 hp Lycoming R-680.

Kenneth Parker, the son of George Safford Parker, founder of Parker Pen Company owned an AT.

Military version - trainer

The USAAC purchased 4 YPT-10's and tested with 5 different engine versions resulting in YPT-10 thru YPT-10D designations. It had a 165 hp engine and could produce top speed of 120 mph, which was not faster than other aircraft of that era, but was more than adequate for the flight training purposes of the Army.

San Vitale, Sala Baganza

Facade and belltower.

San Vitale is a Roman Catholic parish church located in the San Vitale neighborhood of Sala Baganza, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The Neoclassical church houses altarpieces by Giuseppe Peroni, including a Madonna between Santi Gregorio and Vitale.

A small parish church at the site is first mentioned by the year 1005. By 1142, the church and the nearby castle and hamlet belonged to the Abbey of San Giovanni Evangelista of Parma. In the 18th century, a bell-tower was erected, but this and the church were partially ruined by an earthquake on 14 February 1834. The church was rebuilt using designs of Lorenzo Raschi; work completed by 1841. The facade was designed by Luigi Bianchi, and completed in 1868. The facade statuary, attributed to Agostino Ferrarini, was added in 1885. In 23 December 2008, an earthquake again damaged the building, and restructuring and restoration was completed in 2012.
