Ernst Wachter

Ernst Wachter (19 May 1872 – August 1931) was a German operatic bass and music educator.

Life and career

Born in Mülhouse, Wachter, real name Wächter,Marie Caroline,Alsace because of the father's job. After attending school, Wachter became a trainee in a Leipzig shop, as he was to take up a commercial profession. After the death of the shop owner and the dissolution of the company, the aspiring merchant reoriented himself professionally.

Vocal training in Leipzig

Following on from his low voice, with which he had "attracted attention in family and club circles" as a youth, he now endeavoured to give it "an artistic education".Kammersänger and chief director of the Leipzig Stadttheater Albert Goldberg (1847-1905), who was also a "teacher of the art of singing", and trained with him to become a bass.

On 12 April 1893, he began his one-year singing training with Goldberg and on 12 April 1894 he auditioned at the Court Opera in Dresden.

Singing in Dresden

In Dresden, the young singer immediately received a five-year contract at the Semperoper. On 10 May 1894, he made his first public appearance as Captain "Ferrando" in the opera Il trovatore. He then took on the role of Hermit in Der Freischütz by Weber on 19 May 1894 and the role of the character "Sarastro" in the opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on 7 June of the same year.Neue Freie Presse in Vienna by the correspondent Paul Lindau (1839-1919), who was then a resident of Strehlen near Dresden (1891-1895).

Ferdinand GleichDresdner Anzeiger as a music critic, using the example of the part of Sarastro in The Magic Flute, which he had taken on. Gleich especially praised how skilfully the bass performed the arias O Isis und Osiris, welche Wonne! as well as In diesen heiligen Hallen in the performance of the opera Die Zauberflöte. The newspaper Das Journal was also pleased that the Court Theatre had found "the long-sought serious deep bass."


Ernst Wachter

Wachter was admitted to the Tonkünstler-Verein zu Dresden in 1897/98.pianoforte for the first time at the public "Neunten Übungs-Abend" of this association on 4 March 1898. The Lieder had been composed by Georg Pittrich to texts by four poets, including Emanuel Geibel (1815-1885), "Du bist so still".accompanied by the composer at the piano during his performance.

Wachter first sang Kaspar, the first hunter boy in Der Freischütz, at the Dresden Opera on 7 June 1900. The music critic Edgar Mansfield Pierson (1848-1919) regretted at this musical performance that the richly gifted singer did not make serious vocal and declamatory studies.Amelia oder Un ballo in maschera, Verdi's opera in three acts.Irene Abendroth (1872-1932), coloratura soprano; Irene von Chavanne (1863-1938), soprano and Erika Wedekind (1868-1944), soprano. The male roles were played and sung by the bass Ernst Wachter and the opera singers Karel Burian (1870-1924); tenor, Karl Scheidemantel (1853-1923) baritone; Franz Nebuschka, (1857-1917) bass-baritone and Leon Rains (1870-1954), bass. In the premiere of the one-act opera Salome, performed by soprano Marie Wittich (1868-1931),Richard Strauss, Wachter took on the role of a "Cappadocian" (bass) under Ernst von Schuch's direction at the Dresden Hofoper on 9 December 1905.

Guest performance in Munich

Wachter sang at the Hofoper Munich in the period from "1 November 1900 to 1 November 1901" with the status of a guest.

Guest appearances in Bayreuth

Guest appearances in Bayreuth

Wachter accepted several invitations to take part in the Bayreuth Festival. At the Bayreuth Festival he made his debut on 24 May 1896 with Wagner's character Fasolt in Das Rheingold and he sang Hunding in Die Walküre in 1897 and also the knight "Gurnemanz" in Parsifalfull euphony and impeccable purity of his beautiful and powerful bass voice were emphasised. Wachter's distinctive bass voice was included in the album "100 Years of Bayreuth on Record" along with other vocal ranges of early Festival singers.

Opera premieres

Wachter performed at the Dresden Court Opera on 20 March 1901 together with the singers Friedrich Plaschke (1875-1952), Charlotte Huhn (born 1865), Marie Wittich (1868-1931), Rudolf Jäger (born 1875), Karl Scheidemantel (1859–1923), Erika Wedekind (1868–1944), Irene von Chavanne (1863-1938) and Mathilde Fröhlich (b. 1867) in the performance of the tragedy Nausikaa by August Bungert (1845-1915) from the cycle Homeric World under the conductor Ernst von Schuch.Odysseus Homecoming, the third part of the multi-part opera tetralogy Homeric World.

Dora Emilia Mora de Retana

Dora Emilia Mora de Retana (24 August 1939 – 12 July 2001) was a noted Costa Rican botanist, known primarily for her work with orchids. She compiled an extensive catalogue of the variations of the flower found in Costa Rica which became the seminal reference work on the family Orchidaceae in the country for over a decade. There are at least five species of orchids named in her honor and in 2011, a plaque bearing her name was installed at the Lankester Botanical Garden to recognize her contributions to its development.

French cruiser Suchet

Suchet was a protected cruiser of the French Navy built in the late 1880s and early 1890s. The ship was ordered during the tenure of Admiral Théophile Aube as the French Minister of Marine, who favored a fleet centered on large numbers of cruisers of various types. Suchet and the similar vessel Davout were ordered to fill the role of a medium cruiser in Aube's plans; the two cruisers were meant to be identical, but problems during Davout's construction forced design changes to Suchet, resulting in two unique vessels rather than a single class. Suchet was armed with a main battery of six 164 mm (6.5 in) guns in individual mounts and had a top speed of 20.4 knots (37.8 km/h; 23.5 mph).

After completing her sea trials in 1894, Suchet was assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron the next year. She took part in the opening ceremonies for the Bizerte Canal later that year. She continued to operate with the unit through early 1897, when she was sent to the Levant Division in the eastern Mediterranean. The ship was reassigned to the Naval Division of the Atlantic Ocean in 1900, and she was one of the first responders to the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée in May, helping to rescue survivors from Saint-Pierre and its harbor, along with other towns on the island of Martinique. In total, she evacuated around 1,200 people to Fort-de-France. The next month, she was involved in a minor diplomatic incident with Venezuela, where six Frenchmen had been arrested; Suchet's intervention secured their release. The ship returned to France later in 1902, where she was placed in reserve. Struck from the naval register in 1906, Suchet was broken up for scrap.

Design

Davout; Suchet began as a direct sister ship to this cruiser


French cruiser Suchet

Suchet was originally intended to be a sister ship to the protected cruiser Davout, which was designed during the tenure of Admiral Théophile Aube, who had become the French Minister of Marine in 1886. The ships trace their origin to design specifications issued by Aube's predecessor, Charles-Eugène Galiber, in December 1885. Galiber requested a ship of 2,600 t (2,559 long tons; 2,866 short tons) with a speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) with forced draft. Aube, who replaced Galiber in January 1886, was an ardent supporter of the Jeune École doctrine, which envisioned using a combination of cruisers and torpedo boats to defend France and attack enemy merchant shipping.

By the time Aube had come to office, the French Navy had laid down three large protected cruisers that were intended to serve as commerce raiders: Sfax, Tage, and Amiral Cécille.Conseil des Travaux (Council of Works), and that prepared by Marie de Bussy was selected. The required speed had by that time been increased to 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph); the naval historian Stephen Roberts states that Aube was probably responsible for the change. Aube ordered three ships to the design on 1 March 1887: Suchet, Davout, and Chanzy, though the contracts were not finalized by the time Aube left the ministry, being replaced by Édouard Barbey.

On reviewing Aube's plans and the French naval budget, Barbey decided that the proposed cruiser program would have to be reduced. In May 1887, when the budget was approved, the plan was modified to three large cruisers: the Alger class; six small cruisers: the Forbin and Troude classes; and two medium ships. Chanzy was cancelled and Suchet and Davout filled the requirement for the two medium ships. During construction of Suchet at Toulon, a number of changes were made to the original design, beginning with the addition of a torpedo tube to the bow, which was approved on 28 March 1887. As work continued, Delphin Albert Lhomme, the supervisor of construction at the shipyard, decided that the ship's engine room lacked sufficient ventilation and did not permit easy maintenance of the propulsion system. Lhomme therefore ordered work to stop on 20 March 1888 to allow him time to prepare alterations to correct the deficiencies.


French cruiser Suchet

Lhomme completed the new design in 1890, which he submitted to Barbey on 16 August. He proposed lengthening the hull by 7 m (23 ft); the additional space would be used to enlarge the engine room by 2.16 m (7 ft 1 in), with the remainder to be used as a fourth boiler room with two more fire-tube boilers. On 13 September, Barbey approved the proposal, which allowed work to resume four days later. To accommodate for the lengthened hull, some of the superstructure was rearranged slightly and the forecastle was extended by 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in). Further changes were made once construction resumed; after experience with Davout showed that the heavy military masts hampered stability, Suchet's masts were shortened to reduce weight high in the ship. The four 65 mm (2.6 in) anti-torpedo boat guns mounted aboard Davout were replaced with 100 mm (3.9 in) guns for Suchet, and on 28 January 1893, a new quick-firing version of the 164.7 mm (6.48 in) main battery guns were ordered to be installed instead of the original slow-firing guns that had been allocated to the ship.

General characteristics and machinery

Suchet early in her career

Suchet was 95 m (311 ft 8 in) long between perpendiculars, 97.7 m (320 ft 6 in) long at the waterline, and 98.95 m (324 ft 8 in) long overall. She had a beam of 12.12 m (39 ft 9 in) and an average draft of 5.35 m (18 ft), which increased to 5.9 m (19 ft 4 in) aft. She had a designed displacement of 3,440 t (3,390 long tons; 3,790 short tons). Her hull featured a pronounced ram bow, an overhanging stern, and a flush deck. The bow could not actually be used for ramming attacks, in part due to the presence of the bow torpedo tube.tumblehome shape. Her superstructure was minimal, consisting primarily of a small conning tower forward and a pair of heavy military masts with fighting tops that housed some of her light guns. Her crew consisted of 335 officers and enlisted men.


French cruiser Suchet

The propulsion system for Suchet consisted of two horizontal triple-expansion steam engines that drove a pair of screw propellers. Steam was provided by twenty-four coal-fired fire-tube boilers that were ducted into two widely spaced funnels located amidships. The power plant was rated to produce 9,500 indicated horsepower (7,100 kW) for a top speed of 20 knots. During speed tests in 1894, the ship reached 9,504 ihp (7,087 kW) for a speed of 20.41 knots (37.80 km/h; 23.49 mph). Coal storage amounted to 529 t (521 long tons; 583 short tons) normally and up to 663 t (653 long tons; 731 short tons). Like Davout, the ship's propulsion system proved to be unreliable in service. Neither the boilers or their uptakes could be cleaned while the ship was steaming, so speed could not be kept up after a few days of operation, rendering her unreliable on long-distance cruises. During voyages overseas, she could only steam at a speed of 13 or 14 knots (24 or 26 km/h; 15 or 16 mph), which allowed her crew to alternate sets of boilers so they could clean half of them at a time.

Armament and armor


French cruiser Suchet

Armament and armor

Suchet was armed with a main battery of six 164 mm (6.5 in) M1884 30-caliber (cal.) guns carried in individual pivot mounts. Four of the guns were mounted in sponsons on the upper deck, two on each broadside. One gun was placed in the bow and the other was at the stern as chase guns. These were supported by a secondary battery of four 100 mm M1881 26.2-cal. guns, also in individual pivot mounts. These were placed close to the chase guns, two just aft of the bow gun and the other pair directly ahead of the stern gun. For close-range defense against torpedo boats, she carried eight 47 mm (1.9 in) M1885 3-pounder Hotchkiss guns and eight 37 mm (1.5 in) M1884 1-pounder guns, all in individual mounts. In addition, she carried a pair of 65 mm field guns that could be sent ashore with a landing party. She also carried seven 356 mm (14 in) torpedo tubes in her hull, six above the waterline and the last submerged. The submerged tube was placed in the bow, two were further aft in the bow, two on each broadside, and the remaining pair were in the stern.

The ship was protected by an armor deck that consisted of mild steel. Amidships, the deck was 82 mm (3.2 in) thick on the flat portion over most of the width of the hull, where it covered her propulsion machinery spaces and magazines. Forward and aft, the deck was reduced in thickness to 30 mm (1.2 in). Toward the sides of the ship, the deck sloped down to provide a measure of side protection; the sloped side was 80 mm (3.1 in) thick. All areas of the deck were layered on 20 mm (0.79 in) of hull plating. The machinery spaces received a second layer of protection against shell splinters. Above the armor deck was a closely subdivided cellular layer that was 460 mm (18 in) deep, which was intended to contain flooding by preventing it from penetrating far into the ship. The conning tower had 40 mm (1.6 in) thick sides. Suchet's main battery guns were fitted with 54 mm (2.1 in) gun shields to protect the crews from shell fragments.

Modifications


French cruiser Suchet

Modifications

Suchet underwent two refits and alterations during her career. In 1896, the stern torpedo tubes were removed to provide space for accommodations for naval cadets. The following year, she began a more substantial refit. Her military masts were replaced with lighter pole masts, the two forward torpedo tubes were removed, and the four 37 mm guns that had been mounted in the fighting tops were removed as well. The ship was slated for a third refit in 1902 that would have seen her fire-tube boilers replaced with new Belleville-type water-tube boilers, but the proposal was cancelled in 1905 after the boilers had already been ordered and delivered from the manufacturer.

Service history

Suchet passing through the Bizerte Canal on 4 June 1895

Construction and early career

Suchet was ordered on 1 March 1887, and her keel was laid down in Toulon on 1 October. Work on the ship was delayed considerably to address Lhomme's concerns about the ship, work stopping on 10 March 1888 and not resuming until 17 September 1890. Installation of the ship's machinery began on 26 September 1892, and she was launched on 10 August 1893, before the work was completed on 20 November;commissioned to begin sea trials on 1 January 1894, which were carried out between 20 March and 24 April,18.2 knots (33.7 km/h; 20.9 mph) under normal conditions and 20.4 knots using forced draft.Mediterranean Squadron on 1 October, replacing Davout.

In 1895, she remained in service with the Mediterranean Squadron, serving as part of the cruiser force for France's primary battle fleet. At that time, the fleet consisted of seven ironclads, the cruiser Tage, and the three Troude-class cruisers, among other smaller vessels.Bizerte Canal, which connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Lac de Bizerte; the work was completed in June 1895, and Suchet was among the first vessels to pass through after its opening on 4 June.

In 1896, Suchet was nominally part of the Mediterranean Squadron, but she was used as a training ship for naval cadets.Suchet nevertheless operated with the squadron that year, taking part in that year's maneuvers as part of the cruiser screen for the 2nd Division. The maneuvers for that year took place from 6 to 30 July.Bugeaud, which was suffering from engine problems.

Atlantic deployment

In 1900, Suchet joined the Naval Division of the Atlantic Ocean, which also included the protected cruisers Amiral Cécille, D'Assas, and Troude.Pierre Le Bris that year; over the next two years, Suchet was tasked with protecting French interests in Colombia and Venezuela during domestic unrest in both countries.Suchet, Amiral Cécille, and the cruiser D'Estrées in 1901.Suchet went to Colon, Colombia along with United States and British warships, where they were present during unsuccessful negotiations to bring the Thousand Days' War to an end.D'Estrées, Tage, and the cruiser Descartes.

The merchant ship SS Roraima, badly damaged and burning

Suchet was among the vessels to respond to the eruption of Mount Pelée on the island of Martinique that had begun in early 1902. She arrived off the city on 6 May, two days before the main eruption that destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre. She rescued thirty people, all of whom were badly burned, who were able to escape from the city. The British merchant ship SS Roraima caught fire in the harbor, and Suchet came alongside and to help suppress the blaze, but it could not be put out; she instead evacuated the surviving twenty-five of her crew of sixty-eight. Suchet then took the survivors to Fort-de-France and returned to join the evacuation effort for other towns in the area, including Le Prêcheur, over the following days. During these operations, Suchet picked up around 1,200 people and brought them to Fort-de-France by 11 May. Suchet remained in Fort-de-France and her crew helped to unload the supplies that had been sent from other countries in response to the disaster. Le Bris was promoted to the rank of captain for his actions during the disaster.


French cruiser Suchet

In June 1902, while Suchet was still engaged with the relief effort for Martinique, the German unprotected cruiser SMS Falke met Suchet in Carúpano, Venezuela. The German commander informed Le Bris that the Venezuelans had arrested seven French merchants over customs duties. Le Bris demanded that they be released, but the local Venezuelan authorities refused. At the same time, the Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador was leaving the harbor. Le Bris trained his guns on the vessel, ordered her to come alongside, and sent an officer to reiterate his demands. This action secured the release of the Frenchmen.

Later in that year, Troude was recommissioned to replace Suchet in the division, allowing the latter to return to France, where she was reduced to reserve status on 20 November to be reboilered.Suchet was struck from the naval register on 24 April 1906, but continued on in her role through 1914, during which period she was allocated as an annex to the old floating battery Embuscade. On 28 August 1917, the ship was assigned to support the French merchant marine and was probably used as a mooring hulk at Rochefort through 1927. After salvaging non-ferrous metals from the ship, the Navy sold Suchet in November 1927 to Société Goldenberg.

Listening Booth: 1970 is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, released in 2010.

The album was a collection of Cohn's favorite songs from 1970, when he was aged 11. He explained: "It was the beginning of me really falling in love with records and albums and becoming obsessed as a fan. I was a little kid dreaming to find a way to make that a career, and that was the music that started me on that path."

The one song on the album not originally released in 1970 was The Box Tops' 1967 hit "The Letter". Cohn said the song was included on the basis of Joe Cocker's 1970 version.

Flag of Flintshire

The Flintshire flag (Welsh: Baner Sir y Fflint) is the flag of the county of Flint. A campaign was launched in September 2012 to have the flag recognised by the Flag Institute,

Design

Arms of the Flintshire County Council

The flag is the banner of the arms anachronistically attributed to Edwin, ruler of the former kingdom of Tegeingl that covered much of the territory of Flintshire.

Those arms bore a black engrailed fleury cross (i.e. a cross capped with fleur-de-lis ends and scalloped edges) on a white field between four choughs, a bird once likely to have been widespread in the area, in black and red. These arms, in a slightly amended form, had been used by the former Flintshire County Council.

The council arms are differenced by the addition of discs on the arms of the cross and a voided diamond (mascle) at the centre. The flag simplifies the design but retains much of the basic symbolism and essential charges of the original arms in a way more suitable for use as a flag.

Carl Friedrich von Gerber

Carl Friedrich von Gerber, at an unknown date

Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Gerber, since 1859 von Gerber (11 April 1823 – 23 December 1891) was a Saxon politician and one of Germany's leading jurists of his time.

Born to a Thuringian family in Ebeleben, Schwarzburg-Sondershausen , Gerber studied law in Jena and taught it in Erlangen after 1847, in Jena in 1862 and in Leipzig after 1863. He is often mentioned as a leading scholar of civil law together with his friend Rudolf von Jhering, and his views also helped shape the development of constitutional law in Germany.

In 1867, he was elected to the North German Reichstag, and became North German minister of culture in 1871. He held that post until in 1891, shortly before his death, he was appointed chief minister of the Saxon government.

Gerber married Rosalie von Bloedau in 1848, with whom he had three children. After her death in 1859, he married her sister Helene von Bloedau, with whom he had two children.

French cruiser Latouche-Tréville

For other ships with the same name, see French ship Latouche-Tréville.

Latouche-Tréville was one of four Amiral Charner-class armored cruisers built for the French Navy (Marine Navale) in the 1890s. The ship spent the bulk of her career in the Mediterranean and was assigned to the International Squadron off the island of Crete during the 1897–1898 uprising there and the Greco-Turkish War of 1897 to protect French interests and citizens. Latouche-Tréville spent most of the first decade of the 20th century as a training ship or in reserve. The ship was recommissioned before World War I began in 1914, and escorted convoys for several months before she was assigned to the eastern Mediterranean to support Allied operations and bombard the Ottoman-controlled coast. She was lightly damaged in 1915 by an Ottoman shell while providing naval gunfire support during the Gallipoli Campaign. Latouche-Tréville became a training ship in late 1917 and was decommissioned in 1919. She was stricken from the navy list the following year and was sold for scrap in 1926.

Design and description

Line drawing from Brassey's Naval Annual 1902

The Amiral Charner-class ships were designed to be smaller and cheaper than the preceding armored cruiser design, the Dupuy de Lôme. Like the older ship, they were intended to fill the commerce-raiding strategy of the Jeune École.

The ship measured 110.2 meters (361 ft 7 in) long overall, with a beam of 14.04 meters (46 ft 1 in). Latouche-Tréville had a forward draft of 5.55 meters (18 ft 3 in) and drew 6.06 meters (19 ft 11 in) aft. She displaced 4,748 metric tons (4,673 long tons) at normal load and 4,990 metric tons (4,910 long tons) at deep load.


French cruiser Latouche-Tréville

The Amiral Charner class had two triple-expansion steam engines, each driving a single propeller shaft. Steam for the engines was provided by 16 Belleville boilers and the engines were rated at a total of 8,300 metric horsepower (6,100 kW) using forced draught. Latouche-Tréville had a designed speed of 19 knots (35 km/h; 22 mph), but during sea trials on 28 December 1894 the engines produced 8,276 metric horsepower (6,087 kW), although the ship only reached a maximum speed of 18.16 knots (33.63 km/h; 20.90 mph). She carried up to 535 metric tons (527 long tons; 590 short tons) of coal and could steam for 4,000 nautical miles (7,400 km; 4,600 mi) at a speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).

The ships of the Amiral Charner class had a main armament that consisted of two Canon de 194 mm Modèle 1887 guns that were mounted in single gun turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure. Their secondary armament comprised six Canon de 138.6 mm Modèle 1887 guns, each in single gun turrets on each broadside. For anti-torpedo boat defense, they carried four 65 mm (2.6 in) guns, four 47-millimeter (1.9 in) and eight 37-millimeter (1.5 in) five-barreled revolving Hotchkiss guns. They were also armed with four 450-millimeter (17.7 in) pivoting torpedo tubes; two mounted on each broadside above water.

Unlike her sister ships, Latouche-Tréville's gun turrets were electrically powered by two dynamos, each rated at 20.8 kilowatts (27.9 hp). While they performed well during trials, the electrical installation proved to be unreliable in service. The electromagnetically operated friction clutch tended to burn out at normal operating voltages, the direct current components often caused arcing and the mechanical components wore out more quickly than anticipated. In addition the system was not water resistant and often malfunctioned when water entered the turrets, a not uncommon occurrence. It was replaced by a more reliable system in 1905.


French cruiser Latouche-Tréville

The side of the Amiral Charner class was generally protected by 92 millimeters (3.6 in) of steel armor, from 1.3 meters (4 ft 3 in) below the waterline to 2.5 meters (8 ft 2 in) above it. The bottom 20 centimeters (7.9 in) tapered in thickness and the armor at the ends of the ships thinned to 60 millimeters (2.4 in). The curved protective deck of mild steel had a thickness of 40 millimeters (1.6 in) along its centerline that increased to 50 millimeters (2.0 in) at its outer edges. Protecting the boiler rooms, engine rooms, and magazines below it was a thin splinter deck. A watertight internal cofferdam, filled with cellulose, ran the length of the ship from the protective deck1.2 meters (4 ft) above the waterline.bulkheads, with five more above it. The ship's conning tower and turrets were protected by 92 millimeters of armor.

Construction and career

Latouche-Tréville, named in honor of Vice Admiral comte de Latouche-Tréville,laid down on 26 April 1890 at the Granville shipyard of Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée. She was launched on 5 November 1893 and commissioned for sea trials on 16 October. While initial trials were successful, further testing revealed multiple problems that required over a year and a half of work before she was commissioned for service on 6 May 1895.


French cruiser Latouche-Tréville

Latouche-Tréville was initially assigned to the Northern Squadron (Escadre du Nord), and participated in a fleet review by President Félix Faure on 6 August 1895, before she was transferred to the 2nd Light Division of the Mediterranean Squadron on 11 January 1896. The ship was briefly assigned to the Higher Naval War College (École supérieure de guerre de la marine), with her sister Amiral Charner and the protected cruiser Suchet until she was transferred to the Reserve Squadron on 20 October. Latouche-Tréville was sent to Souda Bay, Crete, on 17 March 1897, at the outbreak of the Greco-Turkish War, and stayed there until 24 June. On 18 October the ship rejoined the light division and remained with the Mediterranean Fleet until 22 July 1904. During this time, she participated in a fleet review by King Umberto I of Italy at Cagliari, Sardinia, in April 1899, the combined fleet maneuvers with the Northern Squadron during June–July 1900 and another Presidential fleet review on 19 July. During gunnery training on 24 January 1901, her forward turret was damaged. While under repair from 1 February to 1 May, bilge keels were installed. In October 1901, Latouche-Tréville was one of the ships ordered to proceed to the port of Mytilene.marines that occupied the major ports of the island on 7 November, Sultan Abdul Hamid II agreed to enforce contracts made with French companies and to repay loans made by French banks.

During a gale on 18 December 1902 in Toulon, the small cargo liner SS Médoc was blown onto the ram of Latouche-Tréville and had to be run aground lest she sink, although the cruiser was barely damaged in the incident. The ship was based at Syra in the Cyclades for duty in the eastern Mediterranean from 7 May to 16 December 1903, and then visited Naples in April 1904 together with the entire Mediterranean Squadron. Latouche-Tréville participated in the spring cruise to the eastern Mediterranean shortly thereafter, before she was placed in reserve on 22 July when the new armored cruiser Kléber replaced her in the light division. During this time, all of her 37 mm guns were removed and the number of her 47 mm guns was increased from four to eight. In addition, the electrical system for her turrets was upgraded and various other minor modifications were made.


French cruiser Latouche-Tréville

Latouche-Tréville was recommissioned on 15 February 1907 and assigned to the gunnery school. The following month, her torpedo tubes were removed. On 22 September 1908, her aft turret was badly damaged when one of her loaded guns misfired when the breech was opened. The ignition of the propellant blew the breechblock through the turret door and threw the sighting hood onto the ship's deck. The ship was saved from being lost by a crewman who closed the door between the magazine and the ammunition hoist. Fourteen crewmen were killed and five were wounded in the incident. Repairs took until the end of the year to complete, and she resumed her duties until she was again placed in reserve on 1 January 1912. Latouche-Tréville was recommissioned on 20 November for service in the Levant; she departed Toulon on 10 December and arrived in Port Said, Egypt on 16 December. The ship was refitted in Bizerta, Tunisia, from 8 November 1913 to 26 December, during which time her military masts were replaced by light pole masts. She arrived back in Egypt on 30 December and resumed her duties.


French cruiser Latouche-Tréville

Latouche-Tréville was recalled to Bizerta on 29 July 1914, where she unloaded surplus equipment as tensions rose shortly before the outbreak of the First World War. The ship was assigned to escort convoys between Morocco and France together with her sisters Amiral Charner and Bruix, and then blockaded the Strait of Otranto until 5 February 1915, when she was transferred to the Dardanelles. She was then transferred to the Syrian squadron on 20 March, and later bombarded Ottoman installations at Gaza and a railroad bridge at Acre in Palestine. Latouche-Tréville rejoined the Dardanelles squadron on 25 April and was providing fire support there on 4 June when her aft turret was struck by a 210-millimeter (8.3 in) shell. It killed two men and wounded five others. She was transferred to the Aegean to conduct anti-submarine patrols from 17 June to 20 August before repairs were made at Toulon from 27 August to 21 September. The ship was then returned to the Aegean to support Allied forces near Salonica, Greece, until she was ordered home on 5 January 1916 to be disinfected and refitted. After its completion on 9 February, Latouche-Tréville spent most of the next year and a half in the central and eastern Mediterranean performing a variety of missions. The ship was placed in reserve on 18 December 1917, and served as a gunnery training ship until she returned to Toulon on 31 December 1918. Latouche-Tréville was decommissioned on 1 May 1919 and condemned on 21 June 1920. Her hulk was used by the company salvaging the wreck of the battleship Liberté as accommodations and a workshop from 4 September 1920 to 1925. She was sold for scrap in 1926.

Barmen lace machine

Barmen machine lace

The Barmen lace machine makes perfect copies of torchon lace and the simpler hand-made bobbin lace. Its bobbins imitate the movements of the bobbins of the hand-made lace maker.

History

The Barmen machine was developed in the 1890s in the Prussian city of Barmen, now part of Wuppertal, Germany, from a braiding machine. The Barmen laces were derived from solid braids later pieced with openwork.

Design of machine

Barmen lace machine, showing its workings
A.	Spindle set in top plate
B.	Yarn threaded up to mandrill
C. 	Beater dome
C1.	Beater knives
D. 	Mandrill (variable settings)
E. 	Finished Lace
F. 	Jacquard
G. 	Pulley for drive belt
H.	Hand wheel
K. 	Beater cams
L. 	Take-up rolls
M.	Handle to engage drive belt

The Barmen machine has its spindles arranged in a circle, each one carrying a large bobbin of thread. These can pass each other, so their threads twine together in a complex way. The threads run towards the centre, where the finished lace appears, rising upwards. The machine can only make one width at a time, and has a maximum width of about 120 threads. The lace is made as a cylinder. When finished, threads are removed to allow the flat strip to appear.

Uses

Barmen machines can make laces, trimmings, elasticated and rigid braids, cords and ric-racs. Barmen lace is still produced in Britain by Malmic Lace Limited, in Nottingham.

French cruiser Rigault de Genouilly

Rigault de Genouilly was the lead ship of the Rigault de Genouilly class of unprotected cruisers built for the French Navy in the 1870s. The ships were intended to fill multiple roles, including as scouts for the French fleet, and to patrol the French colonial empire; as such, they were given a high top speed of 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph) and were optimized to use their sailing rig for long voyages abroad. They were armed with a main battery of eight 138.6 mm (5.46 in) guns.

Design

Main article: Rigault de Genouilly-class cruiser

Plan and profile sketch of the Rigault de Genouilly class

The two ships of the Rigault de Genouilly class were ordered under the auspices of the naval plan of 1872, which was laid out to modernize the French Navy in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. The plan called for large numbers of cruisers of three different sizes: first-, second-, and third-class cruisers, the bulk of which were to be smaller and cheaper second- and third-class vessels. The third-class unprotected cruisers were to fulfill multiple functions, including fleet scouts in home waters and as patrol vessels for the French colonial empire abroad. These new ships required high speed and good sailing qualities, though a powerful armament was not needed. The design for the ships was drawn up by Arthur Bienaymé in 1872–1873.


French cruiser Rigault de Genouilly

Rigault de Genouilly was 71.9 m (235 ft 11 in) long at the waterline, with a beam of 10.8 m (35 ft 5 in) and an average draft of 4.7 m (15 ft 5 in). She displaced 1,769 t (1,741 long tons; 1,950 short tons) as designed. The ship had a ram bow and an overhanging stern. Her crew amounted to 195 officers and enlisted men. The ship's propulsion system consisted of a single compound steam engine driving a screw propeller. Steam was provided by six coal-burning fire-tube boilers that were ducted into a single funnel placed amidships. Her machinery was rated to produce 2,000 indicated horsepower (1,500 kW) for a top speed of 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph). At a more economical speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph), the ship could steam for 3,130 nautical miles (5,800 km; 3,600 mi). She had a full ship rig to supplement her steam engine on long voyages overseas.

The ship was armed with a main battery of eight 138.6 mm (5.46 in) M1870M 21.3-caliber guns. One was placed atop the forecastle as a chase gun, one was on the stern, and the remainder were placed in an amidships battery on the upper deck, three guns per broadside. A pair of 37 mm (1.5 in) Hotchkiss revolver cannon provided close-range defense against torpedo boats. She also carried four 86.5 mm (3.41 in) bronze cannon that could be sent ashore with a landing party or used to arm the ship's boats.

Modifications

Rigault de Genouilly received a series of alterations throughout her career. In 1883, three more 37 mm Hotchkiss guns were installed. She underwent a more significant modification in 1886–1889. Three more 37 mm gun were added, bringing the total to eight. She also received eight Belleville boilers of the water-tube type. A new, larger funnel was installed in place of the original funnel. By 1897, she also had one 65 mm (2.6 in) gun installed. At some point during her career, her rigging was reduced to a barque plan.

Service history


French cruiser Rigault de Genouilly

Service history

Rigault de Genouilly was laid down at the Arsenal de Brest shipyard in Brest, France, on 31 July 1873. She was launched on 19 September 1876, and was commissioned to begin sea trials on 15 June 1878. These were completed in early November, and on the 8th she was reduced to the 3rd category of reserve at Brest. She was then decommissioned on 1 December. On 10 March 1882, she was recommissioned for a deployment to the Antilles. By 1884, Rigault de Genouilly had been transferred to the Levant station. As the tensions between France and Qing China over the former's intervention in Vietnam during the Tonkin campaign escalated into the Sino-French War in mid-1884, the French began sending forces to strengthen their position in East Asia. In October that year, Rigault de Genouilly arrived in the region. By then, the Far East Squadron, commanded by Rear Admiral Amédée Courbet, that time, also included the ironclad warships La Galissonnière (the flagship) and Triomphante, the unprotected cruisers Duguay-Trouin, Villars, D'Estaing, Volta, Nielly, and Champlain, and the gunboat Lutin. While at Keelung in November, the ship suffered a boiler explosion that killed thirteen men.

Rigault de Genouilly joined the blockade of Formosa; the cruisers committed to the blockade included her sister Éclaireur, and Villars, Champlain, Lapérouse, and D'Estaing. The ships were based at Tainan, toward the southern end of the island. In March, Courbet sent Rigault de Genouilly, Nielly, Champlain, Lapérouse, and the gunboat Vipère to blockade the mouth of the Yangtze river on mainland China. The French blockade effort, which included other ports, proved to be effective at interrupting the movement of rice crops from southern China north. By this time, secret negotiations between French and Chinese representatives had already begun, as both countries were losing patience with the costly war, and in April, an agreement was reached that was formally signed on 9 June, ending the war.Rigault de Genouilly was detached to return to the Levant station.


French cruiser Rigault de Genouilly

The ship was taken out of service later in 1886 for a reconstruction of her propulsion system; work lasted into 1889.Rigault de Genouilly was stationed at Brest, along with the protected cruiser Sfax and the unprotected cruiser Primauguet. The three cruisers were mobilized on 20 June to take part in the fleet maneuvers held that year. Rigault de Genouilly was assigned to the 4th Division of the 2nd Squadron of the Mediterranean Fleet, along with the ironclads Bayard, Vauban, and Duguesclin. The ships concentrated off Oran, French Algeria on 22 June and then proceeded to Brest, arriving there on 2 July for combined operations with the ships of the Northern Squadron. The exercises began four days later and concluded on 25 July, and during part of the maneuvers, Rigault de Genouilly and Primauguet represented the hostile fleet.

By 1893, Rigault de Genouilly had joined the Atlantic squadron, which also included the cruisers Naïade and Nielly. In September, the three ships visited Boston in the United States.Amiral Rigault de Genouilly.Roland on the North American station, serving alongside the cruiser Dubourdieu, the station flagship.Santiago de Cuba in May 1898 during the Spanish-American War, when the city's coastal defenses were bombarded by a squadron of United States ships; errant American fire fell into the harbor, and Amiral Rigault de Genouilly was struck in her rigging and her funnel.Sfax arrived to take her place in the unit. By that time, Amiral Rigault de Genouilly had been cruising in the West Indies.naval register on 3 February 1899 and was renamed Rumengol later that year. She was then converted into a coal storage hulk and used at Brest into 1914. She was condemned on 16 June 1914 but lay at Landévennec during World War I; after the United States entered the war in 1917, she was used as a depot ship for the US naval forces stationed at Brest. According to French naval records, she was sold on 14 June 1919, but records listing her for sale at Brest existed as late as 1922.

Daniel Anthony Overbeek

Daniel Anthony Overbeek (6 February 1765 – 25 September 1840) was the last resident of Dutch Bengal between 1817 and 1825.

Biography

Daniel Anthony Overbeek was born to Daniel Overbeek (1727–1770) and Theodora Petronella Immens.Dutch East India Company, with the brother of his grandfather Nicolaas Overbeek, who was also called Daniel Overbeek, even serving as governor of Dutch Ceylon. Like his father, Daniel Anthony Overbeek made a career in Dutch Bengal, until in 1795 the Dutch possessions were ceded to the British by instruction of Dutch stadtholder William V, who wanted to prevent revolutionary France from taking possession of the Dutch holdings in Asia.

Under the terms of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814, Dutch Bengal was to be restored to Dutch rule, and a commission under the leadership of Jacob Andries van Braam was installed by the Dutch East Indies government on 28 June 1817 to effect the transfer of the Dutch possessions on the Indian subcontinent.

In 1822, Overbeek laid the foundation stone for the spire of the Armenian Church of St. John the Baptist in Chinsurah.Royal Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences, to which he donated a silver Vishnu from Birma.

In 1824, the Dutch conceded to relinquishing all their possessions on the Indian subcontinent in return for control over Bencoolen.Batavia when the transfer was supposed to take place, leading acting resident B. C. D. Bouman to effect the transfer of sovereignty on 7 May 1825.

Daniel Anthony Overbeek returned to Chinsurah after the transfer of sovereignty and lived there until his death on 25 September 1840. He is buried in the Dutch cemetery of Chinsurah.

Personal life

Daniel Anthony Overbeek married Sarah Leonora Jacoba Eilbrecht, with whom he had three daughters and one son. His daughter Johanna Leonora Christina Overbeek was the mother of orientalist William Wright.

Fossombrone

Fossombrone is a town and comune in the province of Pesaro e Urbino, Marche, central Italy.

History

The ancient Roman colony of Forum Sempronii took its name from Gaius Sempronius Gracchus.

Near the Furlo Pass, during the Gothic War, was fought in 552 the Battle of Taginae, in which Totila was overcome by the Byzantine general, Narses.

Fossombrone was included in the Donation of Pepin, but remained subject to the Duchy of Spoleto until 1198, when it passed under Papal rule. The Malatesta sold it to the famous Federico III da Montefeltro, under whom the city flourished. Also positive for the city was the reign of the della Rovere dukes, who enlarged it (in particular, Francesco Maria II expanded the settlement in the lower area up to the Metauro river). In 1631 it returned to the Papal States, and was annexed to Italy in 1860.

Main sights

The city and its environs abound in antiquities, especially inscriptions. Noteworthy remains are the statue of the god Vertumnus; the Furlo Pass, constructed by the Emperor Vespasian to shorten the passage of that mountain; the bridge of Trajan (115) near Calmazzo, and the bridge now called Ponte della Concordia, originally built in 292 by Diocletian, both over the Metaurus.

George Aikman

George Aikman ARSA (1830–1905) was a Scottish painter and engraver.

Life

Aikman's home, 22 Scotland Street, Edinburgh

Born at the top of Warriston Close, in the High Street, Edinburgh, on 20 May 1830, was the ninth child of George Aikman (1788-1865) and his wife Alison McKay. The father, after employment by William Home Lizars the engraver, started business for himself about 1825 in Warriston Close, where he produced the plates and illustrations for the Encyclopædia Britannica seventh edition. Many of these were drawn and engraved by his son George.

From a private school Aikman was sent to Edinburgh High School, where he was for three sessions in the class of Dr. James Boyd. He was then apprenticed to his father, who had moved his business to 29 North Bridge, and after a journeyman period, during which he worked in Manchester and London, he was admitted a partner. As an apprentice he had attended the classes of the Trustees' Academy, then directed by Robert Scott Lauder, and the Royal Scottish Academy life-class.

By 1850 Aikman was showing work at the Scottish Academy exhibitions, but it was not until 1870 that he abandoned business for painting. In 1880 he was elected an A.R.S.A. Between 1874 and 1904 he exhibited at nine of the Royal Academy exhibitions in London.

In his final years Aikman was living in a flat at 22 Scotland Street in Edinburgh's New Town.

Aikman died in Edinburgh on 8 January 1905, and was buried in Warriston cemetery.

Works

Weighing the Anchor by George Aikman

Aikman's theme as a painter was landscape, particularly in the Perthshire Highlands and Warwickshire. He practised etching during most of his life, and towards the end he engraved mezzotints. Impressions of some of these were exhibited, but only a few of them were published. The engraved plates included:

  * Robert Burns (etching), after Alexander Nasmyth, and
  * Sir Douglas Maclagan (etching), after Sir George Reid;

and among his original plates were:


George Aikman

and among his original plates were:

  * Carlyle in his Study (etching);
  * Sir Daniel Macnee, P.R.S.A. (etching);
  * Norham Castle (etching);

Carreau Block

The Carreau Block is a historic Classical Revival apartment block at 640-642 Chicopee Street in Chicopee, Massachusetts. It was built in 1912 by Louis Carreau, a locally notable builder of French Canadian extraction, and is his only known surviving building of this type. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

Description and history

The Carreau Block is located in Chicopee's Willimansett neighborhood, at the southwestern corner of Chicopee and Walter Streets. It is a roughly L-shaped brick building, three stories in height, presenting finished facades to both streets. It is built out of red-brown brick with trim that is either yellow brick or sandstone. Undulating rounded window bays mark the main building corner and flank the two entrances facing Chicopee Street, and also on that facing Walter Street. Bands of yellow brick separate the first and second floor, and also the third floor from the cornice, which is a slight concrete projection. The building houses fifteen residential units.

The block was built in 1912, a period in which Willimansett was growing rapidly as a housing area serving the industries of adjacent Holyoke. The area had benefited from the construction of a bridge across the Connecticut River in 1893, followed by the introduction of streetcar service two years later. Most of the early residents of this block shared the ethnic affiliation of its builder, the French Canadian Louis Carreau. Carreau was a prominent builder in Chicopee and Holyoke, but most of his residential buildings were wood-frame single or multiunit buildings. It is the only building attributable to Carreau still standing in the city.

Tom Hull – on the Web  B+

In a review for The Guardian, John Fordham called the album a "fiery jazz tribute" and a "raucous, rousing set" that "fizzes with powerful themes." He commented: "Wild but still songlike collective thrashes swell out of catchy hooks...; the street-brass sound of the old Brotherhood of Breath big band is echoed in struts like 'Irmite is Right'; the sonorous chant 'Dikelelu' has a rumbling, Coltranesque undertow; and bassist John Edwards' crunching basswalk under Hawkins' zig-zagging piano solo on 'Sonke' is awesome.

Kevin Le Gendre of Jazzwise noted that many of the songs on the album "are steeped in the kind of pathos that would melt the hardest of hearts yet crucially they steer clear of any facile sentimentality." He praised the ensemble work, remarking: "this is very much a unified, cohesive group, that, much like a Mingus band or a version of the Messengers, creates a very sophisticated orchestral groove."

JazzWord's Ken Waxman wrote: "It's bassist John Edwards' solid time-keeping and pianist Alexander Hawkins' kinetic chording that drive the undertaking as much as the keening solos from saxophonist Jason Yarde and Ntshuks Bonga. Closer to the American rather than the Canadian concept here, the ancestral background of the players hardly influences the notable sounds issuing from their instruments."


For the Blue Notes

Writing for The Quietus, Sean Kitching stated: "Although Moholo-Moholo has worked with a number of uniquely talented piano players... there's something really magical about the reciprocity that occurs when he plays with Alexander Hawkins. The way they lock into each other's playing, Hawkins delivering fast, almost percussive keyboard runs describing the melodic line of the tune emerging from the near chaos of group interplay, his attention perfectly attuned to Moholo-Moholo's mesmerisingly fluid drumming, is truly something special."

Writer Richard Williams included the album in his list of the top releases of 2014.

Ernst Bertram

Not to be confused with Ernest Bertram.

Ernst August Bertram (27 July 1884 – 3 May 1957) was a German professor of German studies at the University of Cologne, but also a poet and writer who was close to the George-Kreis and the lyricist Stefan George.

Life

Bertram was born the son of Evangelical Lutheran Church Overseas merchant Ernst Bertram and his wife Johanne Müller in Elberfeld (today Wuppertal). He passed the Abitur in the spring of 1903 at the Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Gymnasiumhistory of literature, modern history of art and philosophy in Berlin, Munich and Bonn. On 9 July 1907, he received his doctorate from the University of Bonn with a dissertation written under Berthold Litzmann on Adalbert Stifter's novella technique.

The year 1906 was marked by two central encounters for him: on the one hand, he found access to Stefan George through Saladin Schmitt.Du-Tag with Beethoven's music and Thomas Mann reading.

In terms of works, various essayistic writings on Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Stefan George, Theodor Fontane, Gustave Flaubert, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer and Thomas Mann followed. Bertram was a close friend of the latter for a long time and even became godfather to his daughter Elisabeth.

In 1918, Bertram's book Nietzsche - Versuch einer Mythologie was published, with which he quickly became known in literary circles. Mann's preserved letters to Bertram (256 documents in the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach) as well as Mann's Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen (Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man), which appeared almost at the same time, bear witness to his influence on Thomas Mann during that time. The writing of these letters was accompanied by an intensive exchange of ideas. In 1919 Bertram was appointed lecturer at the University of Bonn, and in 1922 he received a professorship at the University of Cologne. In his poems in the Nornenbuch, he emphasised the inequality of peoples.


Ernst Bertram

After the seizure of power by the Nazis, Bertram greeted the Nazi book burnings on 10 May 1933 with consecration verses: "Verwerft, was euch verwirrt, / Verfemt, was euch verführt! / Was reinen Willens nicht wuchs, / In die Flammen mit was euch bedroht“." (Reject what confuses you, / Condemn what seduces you! / What pure will did not grow, / Into the flames with what threatens you".)

In September 1945, an internal denazification commission at the university concluded that Bertram was "proven to be a man who belongs to the nourishers of National Socialism".lecturer.

Bertram also appeared as a poet throughout his life. Most of his volumes of poetry (including The Rhine, Strasbourg, Patenkinderbuch, Griecheneiland) were published by Insel Verlag. In addition, he wrote various so-called Spruchdichtungen, i.e. aphorisms that follow one another and stand in a certain context (Der Wanderer von Milet, Sprüche aus dem Buch Arja, Deichgrafensprüche), which in this form have a unique position in the German literature of the 20th century.

Bertram died in Cologne at the age of 72.
