Friedrich Etzkorn
Friedrich Etzkorn (13 April 1874 – 14 January 1946) was a German trade union leader.
Born in Kaiserslautern, Etzkorn completed an apprenticeship as a hairdresser, then travelled as a journeyman to the Rhein-Main area. In 1892, he joined the Union of German Barbers, Hairdressers and Wig Makers, and in 1893, he moved to Pforzheim, and formed a branch of the union there. Over the next two years, he was repeatedly sacked for union activity, and moved to new cities. In 1896, he was appointed as the editor of the union's newspaper, the "Barbier- und Friseur-Zeitung", and moved to Berlin to undertake the role.
While Etzkorn was based in Berlin, the union's leader, Carl Wesche, was in Braunschweig, and at the end of the year, Etzkorn also moved there. The union steadily lost members, and by 1898 was in serious financial difficulties. Etzkorn returned to Pforzheim, and focused his time on the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). Wesche was in serious disagreement with Etzkorn over the direction of the union, and in 1899, he had Etzkorn expelled.
Etzkorn remained a popular figure among union members, and was admitted to the Stuttgart branch, in defiance of Wesche. In 1900, Wesche was voted out of office, and Etzkorn was narrowly elected as his successor. He moved the union's headquarters to Hamburg, and polled 300 young union members on their experiences and priorities for the union. He focused on keeping the union united, and restricting the number of apprentices.
The union grew steadily under Etzkorn's leadership, from 869 members in 1905, to 2,500 in 1914. In 1907, Etzkorn persuaded members to move the headquarters to Berlin. That year, he also founded the International Union of Hairdressers, serving as its general secretary. He kept the union together during World War I, although the union had to give up its headquarters and make all its paid staff redundant. From 1916, he supported himself by working as a clerk for the General Commission of German Trade Unions, although after the November Revolution, he was again able to work full-time for the union.
Etzkorn resigned as president of the union, now called the Union of Hairdressers and Assistants, in 1921, and became the trade union editor of "Vorwärts", the SPD newspaper. He remained secretary of the international federation, and in 1928 was made honorary vice president of his old union. In 1932, it merged into the General Union of Public Sector and Transport Workers, and Etzkorn became an honorary president of its municipal section.
In 1933, the Nazi government banned trade unions, and Etzkorn lost his job. He was unemployed until 1938, when he finally found work as a registrar. He survived World War II, and at the end of the war joined the refounded SPD, dying early in 1946.

Lake Hancock (Washington)
Lake Hancock is a coastal lagoon (and estuary) and former lake on Whidbey Island in the U.S. state of Washington. The elevation reported by United States Geological Survey is . According to some conservationists, it is "the most well preserved estuary on the island". It was a U.S. Navy bombing range between 1943 and 1971, and legally is part of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The lake is in Greenbank, Washington about halfway down the length of 55-mile long Whidbey Island and nearly bisects it; the lake has contacted Admiralty Inlet on the island's west side since 1934, and from the east shore of the lake to Saratoga Passage on the east shore of the island near Greenbank Farm is less than one mile. Washington State Route 525 runs about from the lake's eastern shore, down the narrow strip between the two bodies of water.
The area is designated by Washington State Department of Ecology as the "Lake Hancock Munitions Response Site". In 2006, 120 tons of contaminated material including creosote coated logs was removed by helicopter from the lake. The Navy held public hearings in 2016 to determine if further cleanup of unexploded material should be undertaken.

BlueLeaks
BlueLeaks, sometimes referred to by the Twitter hashtag #BlueLeaks, refers to 269 gigabytes of internal U.S. law enforcement data obtained by the hacker collective Anonymous and released on June 19, 2020, by the activist group Distributed Denial of Secrets, which called it the "largest published hack of American law enforcement agencies."
The data — internal intelligence, bulletins, emails, and reports — was produced between August 1996 to June 2020 by more than 200 law enforcement agencies, which provided it to fusion centers. It was obtained through a security breach of Netsential, a web developer that works with fusion centers and law enforcement.
The leaks were released at hunter.ddossecrets.com and announced on the @DDoSecrets Twitter account. The account was banned shortly after for "dissemination of hacked materials" and "information that could have put individuals at risk of real-world harm". "Wired" reported that Distributed Denial of Secrets attempted to remove sensitive information from the data before publication. National Fusion Center Association (NFCA) officials confirmed the authenticity of the data, according to documents obtained by security journalist Brian Krebs; the organization warned its members that hackers may use the leaked information to target them.
The documents have not shown police misconduct, but have been considered valuable for how they demonstrate the attitudes of law enforcement and their response to the Black Lives Matter movement, George Floyd protests, and COVID-19 pandemic.
The Blue Leaks data comes largely from the intelligence gathered by fusion centers. After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the United States government sought to improve communication between different levels of law enforcement to better discover and prevent terrorist attacks. They encouraged state and local governments to create fusion centers: physical locations where representatives of different law enforcement agencies share and collectively analyze intelligence before distributing reports back to their respective agencies. Fusion centers have since begun working with private "data brokers" with little public oversight.
Fusion centers have been criticized as privacy-invading, ineffective, and targeted at political groups. In 2012, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations found that over the 13 months of review, fusion centers did not contribute to the identification or prevention of a terrorist plot, and that of the 386 unclassified fusion center reports it reviewed, three-quarters had no connection to terrorism at all. In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security identified a number of privacy-related concerns created by fusion centers. The Department noted that the excessive secrecy of fusion centers led to comparisons with COINTELPRO, and that fusion center reports sometimes distribute inaccurate or incomplete information. The 2012 Senate report points to a report issued by an Illinois fusion center in 2011. The report wrongly claimed that Russian hackers were to blame for a broken water pump, and despite the Department of Homeland Security publicly stating the report was false, its Office of Intelligence and Analysis included the claims in its report to Congress.
After the killing of George Floyd and other instances of police violence in 2020, law enforcement in the United States came under renewed scrutiny. In early June, the hacker collective Anonymous announced its intent to expose police misconduct. The collective did high-profile hacks in the 2000s and early 2010s. In 2011, Antisec, a subgroup of Anonymous, released law enforcement information in support of Occupy Wall Street protestors, but the collective had few significant operations within the United States since then.
Reports leaked found that the police were aware of the potential for their surveillance to violate the Constitution.

Cross That Bridge (song)
"Cross That Bridge" is a song by British pop-rock band The Ward Brothers, which was released in 1986 as the second single from their debut studio album "Madness of It All". It was written by Graham Ward, and produced by Don Was and Phil Brown.
"Cross That Bridge" reached No. 32 on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for ten weeks. It was the band's only UK Top 40 hit. The song's music video was directed by Meiert Avis.
In a review of "Madness of It All", Robin Denselow of "The Guardian" commented: "The Ward Brothers are best-known for their light and tuneful single "Cross That Bridge", which is the best song here. The rest of the LP sounds classy but anonymous." Jack Lloyd of "The Philadelphia Inquirer" described the song as an "above-average number".

11th Massachusetts Battery
The 11th Massachusetts Battery (or 11th Battery Massachusetts Light Artillery) was an artillery battery that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It was formed in response to President Abraham Lincoln's August 1862 call for 300,000 men to serve for nine months. Several months after completing their first term of service, the battery was reorganized for a second term of three years (though the war ended before they could complete this term). It was recruited by Captain Edward J. Jones of Boston and consisted almost entirely of men from that city. The battery served a largely uneventful first term as garrison troops mostly in Centreville, Virginia. During their second term they were involved in heavy combat being part of the Army of the Potomac during Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign.
The 11th Massachusetts Battery trained for their nine-month term of service at Camp Meigs in Readville, Massachusetts in August 1862. The unit was mustered into federal service on August 25. It was the only Massachusetts unit of artillery mustered in under the nine-months call, the other 18 Massachusetts nine-months units being infantry regiments. The men were recruited in Boston and mostly came from that city and the immediate vicinity. The unit left Boston by train on October 3, 1862 and reported to Washington, D.C. on October 6. For their first two months of service, they served garrison duty as part of the defenses of Washington at Camp Barry and later at Hall's Hill in Arlington, Virginia. On November 28 they were transferred to the brigade commanded by Francis Randall garrisoned in Centreville, Virginia. During the winter and early spring of 1864, the unit was frequently used as cavalry, conducting picket and reconnaissance duty between Centreville and Union Mills, Virginia. In April the battery was transferred to the brigade commanded by Daniel Sickles and conducted garrison duty at Fort Ramsay in Arlington County, Virginia and Fort Buffalo, Virginia, both part of the defenses of Washington. At the close of their term of service, the unit departed Washington on May 23, 1863 and arrived in Boston on May 28. They were mustered out on May 29. The unit did not have any men killed in action or by disease during its first term.
The battery was reorganized during December 1863 to serve a new term of three years. Reenlisted members of the 11th Massachusetts Battery formed the core of the new iteration. They were joined by new recruits to fill out the ranks. Capt. Edward Jones again served as commanding officer. The members of the battery were mustered in on January 2, 1864, trained at Camp Meigs, and departed Massachusetts on February 5. Reaching Washington, the battery was attached to the Second Division (commanded by Major General Robert B. Potter) of the IX Corps, assigned to the Army of the Potomac. The battery took part in the major battles of the Overland Campaign, though they were not heavily engaged until moved to the front lines on June 19 during the start of the Siege of Petersburg. On August 21 and 22, the battery took part in the Battle of Weldon Railroad while temporarily attached to the II Corps. The battery was in action at various points on the siege line at Petersburg during the fall and winter. On March 25, 1865, the battery played an important role during the Battle of Fort Stedman. As Confederate troops overtook Fort Stedman and temporarily broke through Union siege lines, the 11th Massachusetts Battery, posted in nearby Fort Friend, rendered key service in pushing back the assault. When the Confederate abandoned Petersburg and retreated towards Appomattox Court House, the 11th Massachusetts Battery joined other elements of the Army of the Potomac in pursuit. They were present for the surrender at Appomattox and were detailed with other artillery units to take charge of surrendered Confederate cannons.
The 11th Massachusetts Battery took part in the Grand Review of the Armies in Washington after the close of the war. In June they were ordered home to Boston and were mustered out at Camp Meigs on June 16, 1865. The battery lost three men killed in action and twelve by disease.

Fusgeyer
The Fusgeyers (Yiddish: פֿוסגײער pedestrian or wayfarer) were a movement of Romanian Jews who emigrated in an organized manner from Romania from 1900 to 1920. The name refers to the fact that they were often too poor to even purchase a train ticket to a port city. Roughly 60,000 Jews left the country during that time period, going to Austria and Germany and then onwards via port cities to Canada and the United States. The number of specifically "fusgeyer" emigrants may be lower, perhaps a few thousand.
"See: History of the Jews in Romania"
The 1866 Constitution of Romania barred citizenship for non-Christians, meaning that most Jews in the country lived with severely reduced rights. Various attempts at mass Jewish emigration happened between that year and 1900, often in the face of resistance from the Romanian government After a famine in 1899, and outbreaks of antisemitic violence, many young Romanian Jews developed a new practice of emigration: banding into disciplined groups which would share resources and leave the country together. The first such group was created in May 1899 in Bârlad. A man named Ginsburg recruited 94 people who started calling themselves the 'Wayfarers from Bârlad'. This group was the inspiration for a number of other groups from other cities, which either named themselves after their city, the name of their occupation, or by a romantic name such as One Heart or The Wandering Jew.
After they reached the Austro-Hungarian border they were often provided funds for rail passage by charitable Jewish organizations.
Many of the current-day articles about the "fusgeyers" cite Jill Culiner's 2004 book "Finding Home: In the Footsteps of the Jewish Fusgeyers" for most of their factual information. Her book in turn was inspired by the Yiddish language memoir of one of the original "fusgeyers", Jacob Finkelstein's “Zikhroynes fun a fusgeyer fun rumania kayn amerika,” which won a contest by YIVO in 1945 and was printed in their journal, "YIVO Bleter".

Lighthouse Point Lighthouse
The Lighthouse Point Light is an active lighthouse in Beaver Harbour, New Brunswick on "Drews Head", as it was known, on the western side of the bay.
The first lighthouse was inaugurated on 15 January 1876 and consisted of a white wooden quadrangular tower with balcony and red lantern attached to the keeper's house; the light was at of height above sea level and emitted a fixed white light. In 1900 was activated a hand foghorn and in 1905 a seventh-order lens and lamp substituted the original lamp and reflectors; the new fixed white light was visible up to . In 1915 a fourth-order lens was set up and in the 1960s a new metal square pyramidal skeletal tower was built to substitute the older.
The current lighthouse was erected in 1984 and consist of a fiberglass cylindrical tower with balcony and lantern. The light is positioned at above sea level and emits one white flash 6 seconds long in a 6 seconds period visible up to a distance of . The lighthouse is completely automated and managed by the Canadian Coast Guard with the identification code number CCG 83.

Dara Norman
Dara J. Norman is an astronomer and the Deputy Director of the Community Science and Data Center at the National Science Foundation's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRlab) in Tucson, Arizona. She is also the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Diversity Advocate at NOAO. Her research centers on the influence of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) on the evolution of galaxies. In 2020, she was inducted into the inaugural cohort of American Astronomical Society Fellows in recognition of her leadership and achievements.
Norman grew up on the south side of Chicago, Illinois where she developed a love of astronomy, influenced by her mother, who was a fan of science fiction and the United States Space program. As a child, she wanted to grow up to be an astronomer before attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There, she studied under the mentorship of James Elliott, who was known for his leadership of the team that discovered Uranus's rings. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1988 in Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science.
After completing her undergraduate studies, Norman worked at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center for three years. While presenting her research at the 1992 American Astronomical Society meeting, she met Bruce Margon, the chairman of the University of Washington's Astronomy department where she had recently applied to attend graduate school. The two had recently observed the same active galaxy using the Hubble Space Telescope, which they discussed during Norman's poster presentation. Norman was ultimately admitted to the University's graduate program and began in the Fall of 1992.Norman received her Doctorate degree in 1999, becoming the first African American woman to earn her Ph.D. in astronomy at the university. During her doctoral work, she specialized in gravitational lensing studied quasars. Following her doctoral work, she became a National Science Foundation Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellow, working at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) with the Deep Lens Survey team. In that role, she worked to understand how observed galaxies are magnified by gravitational lensing and how this so-called "magnification bias" affects our view of the universe.
Norman is now an associate scientist and the Deputy Director of the Community Science and Data Center (CSDC) at the National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab), which operates NOAO as of October 1, 2019. Her research interests have evolved to focus on Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), which are compact regions at the center of galaxies that are thought to be powered by supermassive black holes. AGN, which can be more luminous than an entire galaxy of stars, form as stars and gases are accreted through the activity of a supermassive black hole. Norman's research seeks to understand how these active galaxies form and why some of them are brighter than others.
Norman is recognized as a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion, serving as the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Diversity Advocate at NOAO. In this role, she works on establishing and implementing recruitment and retention initiatives for minorities and women in astronomy. She also serves as a member of the American Astronomical Society's Committee on the Status of Minorities in Astronomy. She has served as an expert panelist in a number of National Academy of Sciences studies, which have culminated in the Academies' 2013 report on advancing women of color in academia and a 2018 report on sexual harassment in the sciences"."Her advocacy efforts around inclusion focus on two areas of access: (1) access to sitting on advisory committees and leadership boards, ensuring that these groups are representative of the communities they seek to serve, and (2) access to large datasets, ensuring that the requisite training and infrastructure is available. In order to address the latter, she and her colleagues have advocated for making coding and development training widely available across the astronomy and astrophysics workforce, regardless of academic affiliation or career stage. She has noted that data access is becoming a prerequisite for telescope access, which is an essential component in advancing astronomers' research and careers.

Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland
The following is a timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland.
The NPHET, a group within the Department of Health, began monitoring the spread of the virus before it was confirmed to have reached Ireland. According to "The Irish Times", the NPHET for COVID-19 was created on 27 January 2020. NPHET continued to meet after the virus had arrived in Ireland to co-ordinate the national response to the pandemic. The Coronavirus Expert Advisory Group—a subgroup of NPHET chaired by Dr Cillian de Gascun, the UCD-based Director of the National Virus Reference Laboratory – met for the first time on 5 February in Dublin.
On 29 February, the first confirmed case in the Republic of Ireland was announced involving a male student from the east of the country, who had arrived there from Northern Italy. Authorities shut a secondary school linked to the case as a precautionary measure. The State did not name the school involved, but—shortly afterwards—the "Irish Examiner"'s Political Editor, Daniel McConnell, tweeted a copy of the letter it had sent to parents informing them it would close.
On 3 March, a second case was confirmed of a female in the east of the country who had been to Northern Italy. She had no contact with the first case. On 4 March, four more cases were confirmed, two females and two males in the west of the country who travelled from northern Italy, bringing the total to six. On 5 March, seven more cases were confirmed, bringing the total to 13. Four of the cases were related to travel from Northern Italy—four males from the east of the country—one of these four cases was connected to Trinity College Dublin. Two of the seven cases were associated with close contact with a confirmed case—two females in the west of the country. One of the seven cases was a male in the south of the country who had no history of travel abroad.
On 6 March, it was reported that more than 60 staff at Cork University Hospital would have to self-isolate following a case of community transmission of COVID-19 at the hospital. The same day brought confirmation of five more cases, bringing the total in the country at that time to 18.
On 7 March, one more case was confirmed bringing the total to 19. On 8 March, two more cases were confirmed bringing the total to 21. On 9 March, three more cases were confirmed bringing the total to 24. On 10 March, ten more cases were confirmed bringing the total to 34.
On 11 March, an elderly patient in Naas General Hospital in County Kildare (south-west of the country's capital city, Dublin) became Ireland's first fatality from the virus; nine new cases were announced. This brought confirmed cases to 43. Cork University Hospital discharged a patient who had been admitted for coronavirus disease after they made a full recovery.
On 12 March, 27 new cases were confirmed, bringing the total cases in the country to 70. In response to the increase of cases, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced the closure of all schools, colleges and childcare facilities until 29 March. The announcement, which came one day after the World Health Organization formally declared that the outbreak was pandemic, also marked Ireland's movement from the Containment Phase in its strategy to combat the spread of the virus (a strategy which the Department of the Taoiseach had reaffirmed just three days earlier) towards the Delay Phase.
On 13 March, 20 new cases were confirmed, bringing the total cases in the country to 90. On 14 March, 39 new cases were confirmed and another death announced of a man in the East of the country with underlying medical conditions. This brought the total cases to 129, with 2 deaths in total.
On 15 March, 40 new cases were confirmed. The total number of cases stood at 169 with 2 deaths. University Hospital Limerick discharged four patients. The Government ordered bars and public houses to close and advised against house parties.
On 16 March, 54 new cases were confirmed. The total number of cases stood at 223 with 2 deaths. On 17 March, 69 new cases were confirmed, bringing total cases in the country to 292 with 2 deaths
On 18 March, 74 new cases were confirmed, bringing total cases in the country to 366 with 2 deaths.
More detailed information about hospital statistics, age range affected, how COVID-19 was spreading, healthcare workers and cases by county was published by the National Public Health Emergency Team starting on this day. It showed that the virus was present in 23 of the 26 counties, with Laois, Leitrim and Monaghan the only three yet to record a case.
On 19 March, 191 new cases were confirmed, bringing total to 557. 1 new death was recorded, bringing the total to 3 deaths. The woman died in an isolation ward in St Vincent's Hospital. Her daughter later spoke to the media and urged the public to protect themselves from the virus.
On 20 March, 126 new cases were reported, bringing the total to 683. It was also confirmed that the virus had since infected Laois and Leitrim, leaving Monaghan as the last of the 26 counties. On 21 March, 102 new cases were reported, bringing the total to 785.
On 22 March, 121 new cases were announced, bringing the total to 906. A fourth death was also announced, bringing the total number of deaths to 4. The man, who died at the Mater Hospital, was musical director of a choir in Dublin and former Head of Vocal Studies at the Royal Irish Academy of Music.
On 23 March, a further 219 cases and 2 more deaths were announced, bringing the totals to 1,125 cases and 6 deaths. Of those then diagnosed, 208 were health care workers. On 24 March, a further 204 cases and one more death were announced, bringing the total number of cases to 1,329 and 7 deaths. On 25 March, 235 cases were confirmed, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 1,564. Two deaths also occurred, bringing the total number of deaths to 9. On 26 March, 255 cases and 10 deaths were confirmed, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 1,819, and the total number of deaths to 19, more than double the previous day's total. According to Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan, most of the deaths occurred in "institutional settings", i.e. hospitals and nursing homes. At this point, deaths began to accelerate rapidly.
On 27 March, 302 new cases as well as 3 new deaths brought the total number of confirmed cases and deaths to 2,121 and 22, respectively. Among the deaths was the country's first healthcare fatality, who was based in the east. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced a series of measures which he summed up as: "Stay at Home" (subject to certain exemptions). Merrion Street described it as "a more intensive phase in our response to COVID-19". The measures, which coincided with an escalating death toll, were also a response to increased reliance on intensive care units (ICUs) to treat critically ill patients, and an attempt to lower this number before capacity was reached.
On 28 March, 294 new cases, as well as 14 new deaths, brought the total number of confirmed cases and deaths to 2,415 and 36, respectively. On 29 March, 200 cases and 10 deaths were reported, bringing the total number of confirmed cases and deaths to 2,615 and 46, respectively. On 30 March, 295 cases and 8 deaths were reported, bringing the total number of confirmed cases and deaths to 2,910 and 54, respectively.

On 2 April, a further 402 cases and 13 deaths were announced, bringing the totals to 3,849 cases and 98 deaths. Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan said of the intensive care unit (ICU) figures: “Of 148 cases admitted to ICU, 25 of those cases have been discharged, sadly there have been 14 deaths from ICU and 109 remain in ICU. The median age of ICU admission is 62.”

It was reported that there was a discrepancy between the number of cases confirmed by Ireland's Department of Health and the ECDC, due to swab tests sent to Germany for analysis to clear the backlog and testing in Ireland. 14,000 samples returned from German labs, of which 1,035 tested positive, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 8,089. 62 patients admitted to ICU were discharged as of that date. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced that measures introduced on 27 March would be extended until at least 5 May.
On 11 April, a further 553 cases, together with an additional 286 cases from previous samples sent to Germany, and 33 deaths were reported, bringing the totals to 8,928 cases and 320 deaths. Minister for Health Simon Harris said between 25,000 and 30,000 tests had been sent to Germany and "well over" half of the results had been returned, with the remainder due back by next week. On 12 April, a further 430 cases, together with an additional 297 cases from previous samples sent to Germany, and 14 deaths were reported, bringing the totals to 9,655 cases and 334 deaths.

It was also announced that one previously reported death was no longer classified as related to COVID-19.
On 22 April, a further 631 cases and 49 deaths were reported, and 10 deaths previously reported were reclassified as unrelated to COVID-19, bringing the totals to 16,671 cases and 769 deaths. On 23 April, a further 936 cases and 28 deaths were reported, and 3 deaths previously reported were reclassified as unrelated to COVID-19, bringing the totals to 17,607 cases and 794 deaths. Chief Medical Officer Holohan said that above 45% of deaths in the country until this time had been among residents of nursing homes.
On 24 April, a further 577 cases and 37 deaths, and 185 probable deaths were reported, and 2 deaths previously reported were reclassified as unrelated to COVID-19, bringing the totals to 18,184 cases and 1,014 deaths.

Central Union of Masons
The Central Union of Masons () was a trade union representing bricklayers in Germany.
Regular conferences of masons were held in Germany in the 1880s. With the repeal of the Anti-Socialist Laws, it was possible to form legal trade unions, and at the 8th Congress of Masons, in Gotha, in May 1891, the Central Union of Masons was established. It adopted "Der Grundstein" as its journal.
The union gradually built up international contacts in the late 19th-century. In 1903, it called a conference in Berlin, to formalise these relationships by establishing the International Federation of Building Workers.
The union affiliated to the General Commission of German Trade Unions, and by 1904, it was the second largest in Germany, with 128,850 members. By 1910, this had risen slightly, to 169,645. At the start of 1911, it merged with the Central Union of Construction Workers, to form the German Construction Workers' Union.

Hisao Niura
Hisao Niura, also known as Kim Il-young (Hangul: 김일영) (born May 11, 1951, in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan), is a Japanese former professional baseball pitcher who played Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan and KBO League baseball in South Korea. Over a 22-season career, he was a five-time champion, four times with the Yomiuri Giants and once with the Samsung Lions. He was a two-time ERA champion of Japan's Central League. A workhorse during much of his career, he had success as both a starter and a reliever.
Although born in Japan, Niura is of Korean descent, part of the Zainichi community.
Niura was born in Japan and attended Shizuoka Shogyo High School, but technically held Korean citizenship. As a 17-year-old in the summer of 1968, Niura announced his intention to drop out of high school and turn pro, but as a "foreign player" was ruled ineligible even though he had attended a Japanese high school. Niura then became the subject of intense bidding in excess of the draft-restricted contract bonus of ¥1,000,000, with six NPB teams and even some Major League Baseball teams involved. As a result, Niura joined the Yomiuri Giants outside of the draft. This became a key case to change the ruling on NPB draft eligibility from "those with Japanese citizenship" to "those that are registered with Japanese schools."
Niura made it to the top level of NPB in 1971, and ended up pitching for the Yomiuri Giants for 13 seasons. The Giants won the Japan Series championship each of Niura's first three years in the league (this was during the Giants' record nine straight championships), although he did not pitch in any Series games.
Niura's best stretch in NPB was from 1976 to 1979, when he won a total of 52 games, with a winning percentage of .619, with 32 complete games. Niura appeared in 50 games in 1976, half as a starter and half as a reliever. He tied for the league lead in shutouts with three, and finished third in ERA behind Takamasa Suzuki and Shigeru Kobayashi. That year he made his first Central League All-Star team. He finally appeared in a Japan Series game, pitching two innings in Game Two (Yomiuri ended up losing in seven games to the Hankyu Braves).
In 1977, his 2.32 ERA was the best in the Central League; his nine saves also were tied for the league lead. Hisao again pitched in the Japan Series (again against the Braves), appearing in Games One, Two, and Four, and taking the loss in the clincher Game Five.
Niura won 15 games and saved 15 more in 1978, both career highs; his 63 appearances led the Central League. He repeated as ERA champion with a 2.81 mark, made his second All-Star team, won both Fireman of the Year and Middle Reliever of the Year, and was given a Best Nine Award as the Central League's best pitcher. In 1979 Niura went 15–11 with 5 saves, a 3.43 ERA and 223 strikeouts in 236-1/3 innings, leading the Central League in strikeouts. He made his third All-Star team.
Elbow problems in the period 1980 to 1983 reduced his workload.
Niura transitioned to the Samsung Lions of the nascent KBO League in 1984, playing under his Korean name Kim Il-young. He was 16–10 with a 2.27 ERA in 1984. In 1985 Niura/Kim went 25-6 for the Lions, with a 2.79 ERA and 11 complete games to help lead the Lions to the KBO League championship. (Under the format the league played during that era, because the Lions finished first in both half-seasons, no Korean Series was played and Samsung was declared champion outright.) Kim won ten games in his first 12 starts that year, a KBO record for the fastest time to ten wins. Kim's 25 wins that year are still good for third-place in KBO single-season victories; he was beaten out for the 1985 KBO League Golden Glove Award by his teammate Kim Si-jin, who also won 25 games. He continued his KBO success in 1986, going 13–4 with a 2.53 ERA.
Niura was diagnosed with diabetes in 1986; that combined with the language barrier (Niura did not speak Korean), led to him returning to Japan.
Niura's three years in the KBO resulted in a 54–20 record (a .730 winning percentage), a 2.53 ERA, 32 complete games, and 8 shutouts.
Niura returned to NPB in 1987, having added a screwball and changeup to his pitching repertoire, which previously had been limited to a fastball and a curveball. Now playing for the Yokohama Taiyō Whales, Niura ended up winning 11 games in 1987, along with 7 complete games and 4 shutouts, and won the NPB Comeback Player of the Year Award (an honor he shared with Tōru Sugiura of the Yakult Swallows). He made his fourth All-Star team in 1987 and his fifth (and final) one in 1988.
On August 4, 1989, he shut out his old team Yomiuri on 13 hits, the most hits ever allowed by an NPB pitcher in a shutout.
Niura's 22-season career ended in 1992, playing with the Yakult Swallows.

Trapherinae
Trapherinae is a subfamily of flies (Diptera) in the family Platystomatidae (Signal flies), which currently includes 11 genera.
The Platystomatidae were comprehensively divided into five subfamilies, but more recent reviews of morphology suggest that some aspects of this classification are unsatisfactory. This led to reducing the number of subfamilies to four, being the Plastotephritinae, Platystomatinae, Trapherinae and Trapherinae - Angitulinae being subsumed into Platystomatinae.
Nonetheless, definition of the subfamily Trapherinae is still open to debate and requires phylogenetic confirmation. At present, genera assigned to the subfamily are considered as having the following subset of characters: distiphallus terminating in terminal filaments, but no glans, tergites 4 and 5 unreduced in female and tergite 6 in the female abdomen well developed. Although McAlpine rejected the use of the presence of an anepisternal (=sternopleural) seta, Whittington more recently continued to use it as it provides an additional character besides those given above, all of which are transitional to some extent in the other subfamilies of the Platystomatidae. In particular, head and genitalic morphology, and perhaps larval biology once more of this is known, should play a role in the definition of the subfamilies, the debate for which remains open.
Seven of the eleven genera in the Trapherinae are monotypic: "Aglaioptera", "Eopiara", "Phasiamya", "Phlyax", "Piara", "Traphera" and "Xiriella".
Little is known of the biology of Trapherinae. Larvae of "Poecilotraphera" were recorded from guava, sugar cane, rice and maize. and adults have been observed on the under surface of leaves..
Without doubt, the largest concentration of species of Trapherinae occurs in the Oriental region.The subfamily is entirely absent from the Americas and the Palaearctic and by only one genus ("Phlyax") in Australasia. There are four genera known from the Afrotropical region, only one of which also occurs in the Oriental region ("Lule").

Museo Vostell Malpartida
The Museo Vostell Malpartida in the Spanish village Malpartida de Cáceres west of the provincial capital Cáceres in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura is dedicated to the work of the German painter, sculptor, Fluxus and Happening artist Wolf Vostell. The museum is under the artistic direction of Mercedes Vostell and under the general direction of José Antonio Agúndez García.. The Museo Vostell Malpartida was founded by Wolf Vostell and Mercedes Vostell in 1976.
In 1976 Wolf Vostell created a sculpture in Los Barruecos with his automobile, a black Opel Admiral from 1970 with which he had travelled with his family through Extremadura. The title of the sculpture is "VOAEX (Journey in the Upper Extremadura)" and in 1978 he created the sculpture "The dead who is thirsty (El Muerto que tiene Sed)". The 30th of october 1976 was the inauguration of the "VOAEX" sculpture and the foundation of the Museo Vostell Malpartida.
The floor space of the museum is about 14.000 m². The washhouse was operated in the 18th and 19th centuries; it is an interesting trade in which the wool was washed by the animals of the migratory herds with water from the pond Barruecos de Abajo of Extremadura. The house consists of several rooms in which different activities were carried out: Shearing sheep and weighing.
Since 1988 the german Goethe-Institut is collaborating with the museum. The collaboration started when Manuel Heredia (former Head of Technology of the Goethe-Institut Madrid) supported Wolf Vostell in the 1980s in finding the 20 motorcycles of the brand Sanglas for Salvador Dalí's sculpture "The end of the Parzival (El fin de Parzival)". Since then the Goethe-Institut is part of selected exhibitions, concerts and book releases.
In 1994 the government of Extremadura took over the complete renovation of the buildings. After Vostell's death in 1998, Mercedes Vostell became the artistic director of the museum. In 2005 the state government acquired the Vostell-archive for the museum. The Vostell-archive became an integral part of the Museo Vostell Malpartida. It serves art historians, journalists, students and all other people interested in art as a source of information.
The Museo Vostell Malpartida had 47,376 visitors in 2016 and was number 10 of 30 must-see museums in Spain, according to the National Geographic Society in Spain 2017. The Museo Vostell Malpartida was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts in 2018 by the Spanish Government.
The museum consists primarily of four parts. Three parts are permanent exhibitions from the collection of Wolf and Mercedes Vostell, as well as from the collection of the Italian art collector Gino Di Maggio, who specifically collected the art of the Fluxus artists. The third part contains temporary exhibitions of changing conceptual artists. The museum also includes the outdoor exhibition in the nature reserve Los Barruecos. The outdoor exhibition includes the sculptures "VOAEX" (1976) and in "El muerto que tiene Sed" (1978).
The opening collection Wolf and Mercedes Vostell offers an extensive and varied tour through the selection of cycles by the founding artist. It consists of five works, which make up the special reference of this museum: "Automobile-Fever (Auto-Fieber)" (1973), "Fluxus-Buick-Piano" (1988)", Endogene Depression" (1975 - 1978), "Requiem for the forgotten (Réquiem por los olvidados)" (1986), "The Breakfast of Leonardo da Vinci in Berlin (Das Frühstück von Leonardo da Vinci in Berlin)" (1998)
As objects, most of these parts contain elements of the fetishistic symbolism of the 20th century.
To all this belong five sculptures "The Concrete Bulls (Los Toros de Hormigón)" (1990), four large reliefs ("Trashumancia") (1993) and paintings such as "The Burial of the Sardine (El Entierro de la Sardina)" (1985), "The Billard Girls (Las Chicas del Billar") (1986), "Mythos Berlin" (1987) and "Estrella Seelenfreund" (1994).
In addition, the Wolf and Mercedes Vostell Collection has a large number of paintings like the cycles "El muerto que tiene Sed" and "VOAEX" and the sculpture projects "Icarus" and Tanit", which attempt to offer a comprehensive tour of a selection of the artist's cycles. Also worth mentioning are the works "Transmigration III" (1958-1959), in which a television set is integrated, and "Foreign mountain" (Montaña extranjera)" (1958), with which Wolf Vostell began his production in Extremadura.
In the garden of the museum there is a 16 meter high sculpture by Wolf Vostell with the title "Why did the process between Pilate and Jesus take only two minutes? (Por qué el proceso entre Jesús y Pilatos duró solamente dos minutos?)" (1996), consisting of the fuselage of a Russian Mig-21 airplane, two automobiles, computer monitors and three pianos.
The Fluxus collection was donated to the museum by the Italian art collector "Gino Di Maggio" in october 1996. Di Maggio established a personal relationship with the Fluxus artists, took care of their works and exhibited them first in the multipurpose room "Multhipla" and later in the "Mudima Foundation".
The donation consists of a series of works, most of which are Fluxus actions and interventions, so that the photographs, videos, manifestos and various texts are the necessary additions to these bundles of files.
The exhibition comprises 250 works, installations, paintings and sculptures by 31 artists of European, North American and Asian origin who, since the late 1950s and 1960s, have synthesized the upheavals in all areas of culture in the Happening and Fluxus movements in favour of a renewal of the artistic field in an interdisciplinary and intermediary manner, transcending everyday life and as the seed of a fundamental social transformation.

One of the plots to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I was to be launched on Midsummer Day 1570 at the Harleston Fair by proclamations and the sound of trumpets and drums. The Elizabethan play "Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay" features this in one of its scenes.
The right to hold an eight-day fair during the period of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist was granted to Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk by Henry III in 1259.
