Jakob Glanzer Shul

The Jakob Glanzer Shul, or the former Chasidim Synagogue, is a synagogue at the Vuhil'na (Coal) Street Nr.3 in Lviv, Ukraine.

History

The synagogue was built from 1841 to 1844 in a Baroque Revival style. Its construction was financed by Lvov merchant Jacob Glanzer, and in his honor named the "Jacob Glanzer Shul". In 1844 Jacob Glanzer's synagogue was the second-largest synagogue, after the Great city synagogue. The synagogue has been constructed in a complex with two stores. There was a prayer hall and two tiers of galleries for women were attached. And two tiers of balconies over the west side of the Shul which was destroyed by the Soviets in the years 1959/60 (Noted by Rabbi B.Vernik) It was also the location (only*) of a mikveh. Noted rabbi David Kahane, author of a memoir about the Holocaust, worked in the synagogue. During the Soviet period, ( after 1960 ) it was used as a gym.

On the end of year 1958 a few months before we left Lvov my parents donated our own bath tub from our home on the Kalinina Street -(today Zamarstunivska Street) *helping to build a mikveh, at this time there wasn't a mikveh on the premises, - ( The mikveh was on Pidval’na Street ) right afterwards the Soviets closedown the Shul! ( Noted by Rabbi B. Vernik ).


Jakob Glanzer Shul

After the Second World War in this Synagogue served as a Rabbi Yaakov Gur-Aryeh which was the main spiritual leader of the Jewish community in Lvov. After the death of Rabbi Yaakov Gur-Aryeh Soviets closed the synagogue took literally everything and removed all the Sifrei Torah. that was considered to be in the hundreds and were in the synagogue, not only in the Aron Kodesh but also in the cabinets below each window of the synagogue were these all Sifrei Torah were accommodate. ( Torah Scrolls ) from all destroyed synagogues of the city and they have moved them directly to Moscow and the premises handed over to an Institute. The main prayer hall was converted to a Sports Hall, the western two tiers of galleries for women were dismantled, the beautiful murals on the walls and ceiling were over painted, the Aron Kodesh ( Torah Ark ) dismantled. Wall cabinets and all the nice furniture of the synagogue was dismantled. (( Amended by Rabbi B. Vernik who lived, grew up and studied in 58, then in 19 schools in Lviv after the war, until the day of the opening of the TV station on the High Castle Mount in the end of year 1958. )) The Synagogue was the main concourse despite of all this horror of Stalin's and after Stalin's dark days - a lot of people disappeared send to Siberia and have been killed.


Jakob Glanzer Shul

The Prayers in this Shul were very, very warm with a lot of hope for much better times ! On the High Jewish holidays in the synagogue were thousands of people, but on Yom Kippur, it was just impossible to move, not only in the synagogue, as well as in the hallway and even a lot more of this, the Street of the Shul on afternoon so many people arrived and congregate, mainly students, who stood and talked quietly among themselves and waited for the Blow of the Shoifor, listening to the sound of the Shoifor which symbolized the end of Yom Kippur. In the great Hall of the synagogue could be heard "the thundering " wonderful voice of the 85 years old a famous **Cantor Boruch Leib Shulman. In the small Hall across the corridor were praying the Talmidej Chahomim and many Chasidim of different backgrounds and mostly were without a beard. On Saturdays there were three praying groups (Minion), one early morning at five o'clock in the morning, because they have to go to work early, a second group at seven o'clock in the morning, and the third group the talmidej chachomim and a lot of the Hasidim on nine o'clock Minion. On the weekdays there were every day Minyanim. On the Shul back yard were working two Shochatim for chicken. On the Succoth holiday there were a Suka - this all was happened in a horrible Stalin's and after Stalin's days between the years of 1946 -1958 – ( this is my testimony and a witness from my very young age. )

  * Chazan Boruch Leib Shulman was a Professional Cantor (1870-1963 in 1946, lived in Lviv, and was the Cantor of this synagogue until its closure in 1961 Boruh Leib Shulman (1870, Township of Kalinkovichi, Minsk guberniya, 1963), Cantor, singer (tenor).

By Rabbi B. Vernik.

Since 1989 it has been used as a center of Jewish culture, the "Sholom Aleichem Jewish Culture Society". External walls of a building were repaired in 1990. (The window immured on the left side is the external indicator of the location of the Holy Ark.)

Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven

"Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" is a country music song co-written by American songwriters Jim Collins and Marty Dodson. The song was initially to have been recorded by George Strait for his 2008 album Troubadour, but after Strait decided not to include the song on this album, it was recorded by Kenny Chesney instead. Released in August 2008, Chesney's rendition is his thirty-eighth Top 40 country hit and his fifteenth Number One hit. Chesney's version is the first single from his album Lucky Old Sun, which was released on his own Blue Chair label in association with BNA Records.

History

"Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" was co-written by Marty Dodson and Jim Collins, the latter of whom has previously co-written two other singles for Chesney: "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" from late 1999-early 2000, and "The Good Stuff" from mid-2002.George Strait had recorded the song for his 2008 album Troubadour.Lucky Old Sun, his first project for his personal Blue Chair label (in association with BNA Records, the label to which he has been signed since 1995).

Chesney's rendition of the song is a mid-tempo, set in a calypso orchestrationThe Wailers, who also sing the final chorus on the album version.

Content

The song is about a man detailing his life to a preacher who has told him to forgo a lifestyle of drinking alcohol and pursuing sexual desires, in favor of a more religious-oriented style.

Critical reception

Matt C. of Engine 145 gave the song a "thumbs down" rating. Although his review makes note of the song's "carefree sentiment that characterizes standards like 'Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young'", he considered the calypso orchestration "patently offensive".

Alison Bonaguro, who contributes to the blog for the television network CMT, gave the song a more positive review. Although she referred to the instrumentation as "not-so-country", she described the song's sentiment favorably, comparing it to Tim McGraw's 2004 single "Live Like You Were Dying", but without a "preachy feel".


Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave it a B grade. He said that the only problem with the song was the production, and that "the calypso trimmings used to be a distinctive trademark of Kenny Chesney records, but by now, they’re a crutch."

Music video

In August 2008, Chesney traveled to Jamaica to film the song's music video. The Wailers are featured in the video as well.

Charts

"Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" debuted at number 22 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated for the week of August 16, 2008.

Located on a beach next to the Pacific Ocean and near Sharp Park Golf Course, Hazel's Inn became known as a beach escape for San Franciscans during World War II.

In the 1950s, a socially conservative anti-gay moral panic known as the Lavender Scare resulted in widespread police raids of "homosexual gatherings" in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area.

Shortly after midnight on February 20, 1956, Whitmore's raid began, with the Sheriff jumping on the bar and shouting "This is a raid!"

Aftermath

In an interview with the San Mateo Times, Sheriff Whitmore stated, "The purpose of the raid was to let it be known that we are not going to tolerate gatherings of homosexuals in this county."

During the trials, San Mateo County Sheriff's officers testified against the patrons, stating they had witnessed a white man kissing a Filipino man, and another white man briefly fondling an African-American man.

Nickola v. Munro

Hazel Nickola, meanwhile, lost her liquor license as a result of the raid.Nickola v. Munro, was heard in the California Courts of Appeal and was argued by Nikola's attorney John A. Putkey on one side and California's Attorney General Pat Brown on the other.

The case focused on California Business and Professions Code 24200(e), which allowed the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to regulate bars that catered to or allowed the presence of "sex perverts."

The court decision affirmed the revoking of Nickola's license and ultimately empowered the State of California to broaden its definition of "illicit behavior."right to assembly and bolstered the state's ability to permanently shut down gay bars and taverns."

Similar cases

The Bay Area Reporter noted similarities between the raid on Hazel's Inn with 1960s raids in San Francisco's Tenderloin District, such as the Compton's Cafeteria riot.Cooper Do-nuts Riot was sparked after police harassment of young LGBT people.

Hazel Nickola

While fighting for her license in court, Hazel Nickola's business suffered dramatically, and she was forced to sell her car, piano, and property to pay for her legal fees. She stated, "It's like a strike. Nobody [comes] near me any more. And after all I've done for this town."

Johann Franz Xaver Sterkel

Johann Franz Xaver Sterkel.

Johann Franz Xaver Sterkel (3 December 1750 in Würzburg – 12 October 1817 in Würzburg) was a German composer and pianist in the 18th and early 19th centuries.

He was educated at the University of Würzburg and in 1778 he became chaplain and musician at the court in Mainz. He lived in Regensburg (from 1802 to 1810), then in Aschaffenburg, and finally retired to Würzburg in 1815.

At first Sterkel was an organist in Neumünster. In 1774 he was ordained a priest. He moved to Mainz and became court chaplain, but toured Italy as a pianist from 1779 to 1782. After a visit to Italy in 1782, where he met Padre Martini, he returned to Mainz, becoming music director to the Electoral orchestra in 1793.

From 1793 to 1797 he was court Kapellmeister at Mainz. When the capella was disbanded, he went to Würzburg, Regensburg and later Aschaffenburg, where he served the Grand Duke of Frankfurt.

From 1810 to 1814, as a prolific and successful composer he wrote mostly instrumental music, including symphonies and concertos, chamber works with keyboard solo, piano sonatas and piano duets.

Many of the sonatas have a lyricism and loose-knit structure pointing towards Franz Schubert. Among his vocal works are the Italian opera Farnace (Naples, 1782), Italian arias, songs and ensembles and German lieder. His works as well as his distinctive playing style (which impressed Beethoven in 1791) contributed to the development of a pianistic idiom.

Jakob Friedrich Caflisch

Jakob Friedrich Caflisch (3 March 1817 – 9 May 1882) was a German botanist born near Memmingen.

He spent the years 1836–1838 at a teaching seminar in Altdorf, followed by teaching assignments in Leipheim, Neu-Ulm and Augsburg. He prematurely retired from teaching in 1861 due to problems with eyesight.

With Otto Sendtner (1813–1859), a professor of botany at the University of Munich, he participated in scientific excursions in the vicinity of Augsburg and throughout the mountains of Allgäu. Caflisch's botanical research included studies on the effects that climate, altitude and soil conditions had upon the geographical distribution of plants.

He was a founding member of the Naturhistorischen Vereins in Augsburg (Natural History Society in Augsburg) and until his death in 1882, was in charge of the botanical collections at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Augsburg.

Hospitalité Notre Dame de Lourdes

The Hospitalité Notre Dame de Lourdes (HNDL) a Roman Catholic religious confraternity under the spiritual authority of the Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, and works closely with the Rector of the Sanctuaries and his pastoral team. The HNDL (and each of its sections) is governed by a President and a council. It is active in Lourdes during the main pilgrimage season (which normally lasts from Easter until November), and it also provides people to welcome pilgrims at the Piscines (Baths) during the winter. The HNDL was founded in 1885, and through its work aims to pass on the ‘message of Lourdes’. Members, known in French as hospitaliers, strive to do this not only in Lourdes but also in their home parishes and institutions, for the good of the church and the world.

Background

Six million visitors a year are welcomed by the volunteers who work in the sanctuaries of Lourdes. Some of these volunteers work in the Forum-Information Centre welcoming individual pilgrims and small groups. Other volunteers work in the Youth service, or give of their time and talent in one of the pavilion tents around the Domaine. However, the largest group of volunteers (16,000 of them) is known as the Hospitalité Notre-Dame de Lourdes (Hospitality of Our Lady of Lourdes). In the past a ‘Hospitality’ was a charitable organisation whose aim was to gather, accommodate and feed the less fortunate in a hostel or hospital. Today the Hospitalité Notre-Dame de Lourdes (HNDL) builds on that tradition, welcoming pilgrims to Lourdes (especially, but not only, the sick and disabled), and assisting at religious ceremonies. It is an organisation of pilgrims at the service of other pilgrims and Our Lady.

All Hospitalités around the world are connected to the HNDL.

Stage

Basilica at night, during the Torchlight Procession

A period of service with the Hospitalité Notre-Dame de Lourdes is known as a ‘Stage’. The name 'Stage' comes from the French for 'work experience'. Those on Stage are often known as ‘stagiaires’ or more recently ‘hospitaliers auxiliaries’. The HNDL encourages people to do a Stage lasting at least 6 days.


Hospitalité Notre Dame de Lourdes

The Stage is open to new helpers aged between 18 and 75 (though 65 is the maximum age for someone to do their first Stage with a view to making their ‘engagement’ as a member of the Hospitalité on their fifth Stage). Doing a Stage requires dedication, a willingness to serve, and a certain maturity of character (though that doesn’t mean dullness). Stage offers tremendous satisfaction and opportunities to enjoy life in a group.

No special skills are required to be on stage, just a willingness to serve, and a desire to enter into the 'spirit of Lourdes'. Note that if you have specific restrictions which for example may not enable you to lift someone, this is not a problem, as there are plenty of other things to do; just make sure your "limitations?!" are known. (Some of the best hospitaliers are physically disabled in some way)

It is also not necessary to speak French, though a basic knowledge of that or any other language is of course useful. Any languages that a stagier feels confident about speaking can be indicated on their badge by flags. The first flag on the badge will generally match the nationality of the individual with other badges denoting languages spoken with some level of fluency. It is for this reason that while Irish, Americans, and many Canadians will use English as their first language, the first flag will be their national flag and thereafter, the language flags.

During the first four years, stagiaires must take part in the 'Formation' (a type of Stage training, formerly known as ‘école’ or school) twice in the week. This provides both practical training, and an overview of the spirituality of Lourdes. The Formation classes are taught in English, when an English speaking formateur is present (which is usually the case). There are no exams and plenty of opportunity for interaction and discussion. Usual topics for discussion include: our attitudes to the sick; the symbolism of the grotto and its water; a tour of the places where Bernadette lived; the history of the domain; Christian approaches to suffering; etc.


Hospitalité Notre Dame de Lourdes

The first Stage is known as the 'année d’accueil’ (reception year). After this volunteers become a 'hospitalier auxiliaire’, for years 2, 3 and 4. After the reception year and three stages of formation Christians can apply in their 4th year to make an engagement into the Hospitalité. The following year (5th), after approval from the Council, volunteers are presented with the silver medal on blue ribbon. This is a sign that the volunteer has made a promise to commit to the service of the sick, specifically by coming on stage regularly. This medal is a dedication, not a decoration, and a sign that the volunteer is at the service of anyone who may visit Lourdes. This isn’t the end of the service, but the beginning of a deeper commitment.

Once a volunteer has become a ‘titulaire’ member of the HNDL, they are asked to pay an annual €15 ‘cotisation’ to help cover administrative costs and pay for the Lettre de l’Hospitalité which members receive three times a year. New member in Great Britain may also become a member of the British Hospitality Trust and be invited to an annual reunion in the winter. The "cotisation" in Britain may be paid to the British Hospitality Trust, which is a charity, so any tax may be reclaimed. The money gained is used to pay for things of use to the Hospitalite at Lourdes.

Many pilgrimages from across the world have their own stage groups. In Britain, for example the Catholic Association Pilgrimage who run two groups in May and August, Ampleforth, whose Stage group give service in June, Hexham, which has a stage group in May, and SOLL, a stage group in September. There is also an Oxford and Cambridge stage group.

American hospitalite groups come over in ever increasing numbers with the North American Volunteers, or with the order of the Knights of Malta.

Anyone who wishes to become a stagiaire as a step towards becoming a hospitalier needs only get a letter of introduction from his or her parish priest, or any hospitalier, and send it to HNDL Lourdes complete with a completed Request for Stage form (in French, demande de stage).

In an interview with the TVB television show, "Jade Solid Gold" (劲歌金曲), Shila said that the reason she enlisted help from Jun Kung was because she had always wanted to work with a Hong Kong artists and she knows that Kung has a good relationship with the people from her record company, Shilala (HK) Limited.

Michel Wibault

Michel Henri Marie Joseph Wibault (born 5 June 1897, died 23 January 1963) was a French aircraft designer. He was a strong advocate of metal construction, and his airliners were important in the development of French commercial aviation in the 1930s. He is especially known for his invention of vectored thrust for aircraft, which led to the development of the V/STOL Hawker Siddeley Harrier.

Early life

Michel Wibault was born in Douai, near Lille, France, on 5 June 1897 to Achille and Madelaine Wibault. Achille owned a chain of about a hundred grocery shops. They had three sons and three daughters.

At the age of four, Michel was disabled by polio affecting all his limbs. As a result, he did not attend school, and was entirely home- and self-educated. He also had a German nanny. His disability precluded him from military service. During his childhood he often visited La Brayelle Airfield, where the world's first aviation meeting took place. It was home to the workshops of Louis Breguet whom he met and with whom he later formed a lasting acquaintance.

In August 1914 Douai was captured by the Germans, and German officers occupied the family mansion. Michel made visits to the occupied La Brayelle airfield. The Germans took little notice of the disabled young man and, understanding German, he was able to observe the activities and take extensive notes. He also met Anthony Fokker, who was staying with family friends while demonstrating his designs to the Germans. Michel built his own wind tunnel for testing models. Disliking the Germans, he was able to move to Belgium and then to Switzerland where he developed his ideas.

Aircraft development

In March 1917 Wibault presented a fighter design to Lieutenant-Colonel Émile Dorand, Director of the Technical Section of Military Aeronautics (STAé) in Paris, and with financial assistance from his maternal uncle, made in December 1917, built a model which was successfully tested in the Eiffel aerodynamic laboratory.


Michel Wibault

With French engineer Paul Boccaccio, in 1918 he designed and built his first aeroplane, the Wibault-Boccaccio & Cie C.1 fighter powered by a 220hp Hispano-Suiza engine. Tests were very successful, achieving a top speed of 237km/h and an altitude of 7,500m, but development was abandoned at the end of the war.

The company's first aircraft, the Wibault 2 night bomber - only one built

In 1919 Wibault founded Société des Avions Michel Wibault at Billancourt, with various aircraft, mostly parasol monoplanes of Duralumin construction, flying from 1920. At first the aircraft were all military types, with Wibault turning to civil transports from 1930.

Wibault became a consulting engineer for Vickers, starting in 1922. As a pioneer of metal construction for which he held patents,Hugo Junkers and Caudius Dornier. Wibault and Vickers jointly developed more metal construction patents.Vickers Wibault Scout (based on the Wibault 7) - 26 of which were bought by the Chilean Air Force - the Vickers Vireo and Jockey fighters, and the Viastra, Vellore and Vellox civil transports.

Wibault-Penhoët 281T F-ADEK, the prototype 280T with Hispano-Wright engines replaced by Gnome-Rhônes

In 1930 French shipbuilders Penhoët (Chantiers St. Nazaire) funded construction of the Wibault-Penhoët 280-T low-wing trimotor transport.Breguet, which went on to produce several Wibault designs.

In 1937 the French Air Ministry awarded Wibault a contract for a large four-engined double-deck airliner carrying up to 72 passengers. An early version, carrying 25 passengers in some luxury, including a lower deck bar and restaurant was named the Air-Wibault 1.00.Arsenal works at Villacoublay on 3 June 1940. It is said that Wibault himself set fire to it to stop it falling into German hands.


Michel Wibault

On 17 June 1940 Wibault escaped with his wife Marie-Rose from Paris to London where Charles de Gaulle appointed him as technical director of France Forever, a support organisation for de Gaulle in the USA, and he was very active in the group.Republic Aviation where he worked with the company’s major driving force and chief designer Alexander Kartveli. Kartveli, a Soviet émigré, had trained at an aviation school in Paris and then worked for Louis Bleriot, and for the Wibault company,XF-12 Rainbow, and the RC-3 Seabee.

VTOL development

While in New York in 1940, Wibault met Winthrop Rockefeller, the billionaire politician and philanthropist, who was to finance Wibault for the rest of his career, mainly through an entity called the Vibrane Corporation which supported him and sponsored his US patent applications. After the war, Wibault divided his time between New York and Paris. He became increasingly interested in vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, with projects ranging from interceptors to large airliners, most of which he classified as a “Gyropter” (French – “Gyroptère”). His starting point was a circular aircraft comparable to the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar.

The first prototype Hawker P.1127 XP831 which made its first vertical take-off on 21 October 1960, over two years before Wibault's death

In 1954, one of his projects was for a vertical take-off and landing ground-attack Gyropter using the most powerful turboshaft engine then available, a Bristol Orion, driving four centrifugal compressors mounted on the sides of the airframe around the centre of gravity. The compressor outlet nozzles were able to swivel between pointing straight down for take-off and landing, and pointing horizontally backwards for forward flight. He obtained patents for his vectored thrust design.

Unable to interest the French government or industry in the idea, in 1955 Wibault submitted it to the NATO Mutual Weapons Development Programme and was subsequently introduced to Stanley Hooker who was then technical director of Bristol Engines.Gordon Lewis.


Michel Wibault

Meanwhile, Hawker’s chief designer Sidney Camm, noting the success of the Ryan X-13 Vertijet, had developed an interest in VTOL aircraft, which he expressed in a letter to Hooker, and thus the scene was set for the development of the Bristol Siddeley Pegasus engine. This was at the heart of the Hawker P.1127 design that evolved into the Hawker Siddeley Harrier.

Personal life

In March 1930 he married Marie-Rose Boistel.Legion of Honour.16th arrondissement of Paris on 23 January 1963.

Nothin' But Trouble (Nia Peeples album)

Nothin' But Trouble is the debut studio album by American singer and actress Nia Peeples. It was released on August 30, 1988 by Mercury Records. Peeples decided to venture into the music industry after she came to recognition as a regular cast in the musical television series Fame. She worked with Steve Harvey, Howard Hewett, Doc Powell and Tony Prendatt on the album. Musically, Nothin' But Trouble is a dance-pop and R&B album with influence of other popular genres at the time, such as freestyle and new jack swing.

Nothin' But Trouble did not receive positive reviews from music critics who compared Peeples' style to Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson. The album spawned one hit single with a track originally recorded by La Toya Jackson. It was not a commercial success as it didn't receive any certifications. It peaked at number ninety-seven on the Billboard 200.

Three singles were released from the album. The lead single "Trouble" peaked at number thirty-five on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart. The album's following singles "High Time" and "I Know How (to Make You Love Me)" were less successful but managed to peak into the Hot Dance Club Songs chart at number ten and twenty-eight respectively.

Background

Another singer and Peeples' labelmate Vanessa Williams was also working on her debut album The Right Stuff (1988) at that time. She later commented that the label's focus was on Peeples because of her high-profile role on the television series Fame, so they invested their sales and marketing efforts in her album.

Ron Wynn from AllMusic mistakenly gave the album four and a half out of five stars and wrote: “Nia Peeples did a creditable job as an actress on the Fame television show, and later hosted a couple of short-lived music programs, including one produced by Arsenio Hall's company. But she never demonstrated on any project that she was a good singer, and her faults were glaring on this late-'80s work. Operating on the premise that they could make Peeples a second-level Paula Abdul, the producers gave her the same type of dance-pop bubblegum fodder, but didn't make it as hook-laden or catchy as Abdul's songs. The results were predictable."

Everybody Wants You (Johnny Orlando song)

Everybody Wants You is a song by Canadian singer Johnny Orlando. It was released on September 10, 2020, as a single from his third EP It's Never Really Over.

Background

Orlando leaked his 15-second video singing on his electric guitar which was later a hint for his forthcoming EP on his Instagram account last July 17, 2020, stating his caption: "soo wants new music¿"

The song title was officially revealed on his Instagram live last August 2020, but some rumors say that the title leaked posted on his Instagram stories doing his carpool with his fans, then gave more internet attention that he will release his single next month.

The background of the song was in dedication to his father who was his inspiration on behind tracks as his supportive mentor in his career, another statement is about a five-year-old kid sitting alone at the bench which he saw on his purpose in the first verse but some other people know when to get through and knowing he was about to drive a car after school but catches a kid to find a way home. Also, Orlando first used the explicit word meaning, they are a metaphor for clearing his mind while writing his music.

Music video

The music video was shot in Toronto on September 2, 2020. The video was directed by Alex Smith and coordinated with animations by Gabe Sapienza. The locations were shot in Polson Pier. He stated that the shooting of the video was late at night and that shots of him driving around may not appear to have context however they are based on personal self-reflection.

He was the first to receive a PhD from UC Berkeley School of Optometry. It was he who gave the name electrooculogram, a technique for measurement of nerve impulse in the eye.

He developed an improved tonometer that avoided use of anaesthetics for the first time in optometrical diagnosis. With his wife he established a non-profit neuroscience organisation, the Minerva Foundation in 1983.

Early life and education

Joint Operations Division

The Joint Operations Division is a component of the South African National Defence Force tasked with conducting Joint Operations involving the various arms of the SANDF.

History

The Joint Operations Division was established on 1 August 1997 during a major reorganisation of the armed forces.

Before the re-organisation each arm of Service had an operations staff responsible for deploying its units as directed by the Service chief and the Chief of the SANDF. The Chief of the SANDF had an operations staff, playing a co-ordinating role.

Following the re-organisation, each arm of service had to provide properly trained and equipped forces to Joint Operations. Joint Operations would then deploy these forces as necessary and revert to their parent service following the mission. The exception is the Special Forces Brigade, which is directly under the command of the Chief of the SANDF

There are nine joint operational-tactical headquarters (HQ) under the SANDF Chief of Joint Operations, under which many Army units operate. For example, Regional Joint Task Force North (RJTFN) is situated in Pietersburg, commanded by a major-general.Musina is called the Soutpansberg Military Area. The other areas are Group 33, Nelspruit; Group 12, Ermelo; and Group 14, Pietersburg.

Headquarters Regional Joint Task Force West is located in Cape Town, while HQ Regional Joint Task Force East is in Durban.

His buildings, many of which are located along Chicago's North Shore, reflect a wide range of styles from English Tudor to Mediterranean and Spanish. Among his best known works is the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois, which was the first zoo in the United States to display animals in simulated natural environments rather than behind bars.Thorne Rooms, commissioned by Narcissa Niblack Thorne, which are on permanent display at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Early life

Edwin was the youngest of four children born to a well-to-do Chicago family. His father, raised on a poor Vermont farm, became a very successful commodities broker after the Civil War. In 1889 his father quit the commodities business and took the family to live in Europe for two years. When the family returned to the United States, his father purchased the Chicago branch of the Wadsworth Holland paint company.Phillips Andover Academy Edwin went on to major in chemistry at Yale in preparation to becoming the company's technical expert.

Edwin Hill Clark

Clark's architecture has been described as eclectic, imaginative, traditional, solid, and practical. His buildings reflected a wide range of styles from English Tudor to Mediterranean and Spanish. He designed his buildings to work well for their owners and to last—demolishing one of his buildings has often turned out to be very expensive. He is mainly remembered for his residential buildings, public buildings, schools, zoo designs, and for the Thorne rooms. He also designed some commercial buildings.

Residences

He designed numerous luxurious residences, primarily in Winnetka and Lake Forest, Illinois.10,000-square-foot (930 m2) mansion, that he designed for the James Ward Thorne family (Montgomery Ward heirs) overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara, California, and Knollwood, a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) mansion designed for Marjorie Montgomery Ward in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

Public buildings

Aside from his zoos, his best known public buildings are the Winnetka Village Hall and the Lake Forest Library.Lincoln Park,Chicago Tuberculosis Sanatorium,preventorium near Lake Forest,First World War he was responsible for designing and overseeing the substantial expansion of the Great Lakes Naval Station.

Schools

He designed buildings for several schools in Chicago and along the North Shore. These include the Latin School of Chicago,North Shore Country Day School,Ferry Hall School (now merged with Lake Forest Academy),

Zoos

His major zoo project was the Brookfield Zoo, operated by the Chicago Zoological Society in the suburb of Brookfield. This was the first zoo in the United States to display animals in simulated natural environments rather than behind bars.National Zoological Park in Washington, DC, and at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.

Commercial buildings

He did not design many commercial buildings, but one of his most successful projects was the Spanish Court, now called the Plaza del Lago, on the north side of Wilmette, Illinois.

The Thorne Rooms


Edwin Hill Clark

The Thorne Rooms

He was at loose ends during the 1930s because of the severe downturn in housing and other construction.Narcissa Niblack Thorne hired him to design some of the original Thorne box rooms, a collection of 68 miniature rooms reflecting a wide range of different architectural styles, that are now on display at the Art Institute of Chicago and several other locations. The rooms and all of their contents were meticulously designed and built at a scale of one inch to one foot.

Death and afterward

Clark died in 1967 at the age of 89. He was remembered for his sense of humor and his quiet, reserved kindness.

Kobyłka

Kobyłka [kɔˈbɨu̯ka] is a town of almost 22,000 inhabitants in Poland within the Warsaw metropolitan area, located right outside of the Warsaw, near Wołomin in the Wołomin County in the Masovian Voivodeship.

History

Located in a densely forested area, Kobyłka has been a village at least since the 15th century. In the 18th century the village was one of the main centres of production of Kontusz Belts. In 1751 the village was granted with a royal city charter, as an effect of extensive efforts of its owner, Bishop Marcin Załuski, who wanted to turn it into a large centre for pilgrims. However, the plan failed in the effect of the Kościuszko's Uprising and the Partitions of Poland, during which the town was severely damaged by Russian forces during their march towards the Warsaw's suburb of Praga.

Transport

There are two railway stations in the town (Kobyłka and Kobyłka Ossów), located on the Polish Rail Line No. 6 connecting Warsaw with Białystok and the border crossing at Kuźnica.

Sports

The local football club is Wicher Kobyłka.
