Louis Guillaume de Parscau du Plessix (Saint-Malo, 1725 — 1786) was a French Navy officer. He served in the War of American Independence, earning membership in the Society of the Cincinnati.

## Biography

Parscau was born to the family of a navy Ensign. He joined the Navy as a Garde-Marine in 1743.
During the Seven Years' War, Parscau served on the 64-gun Brillant under Conflans. Parscau was promoted to Lieutenant in 1756.
In 1762, Parscau had a son, Hervé Louis Joseph Marie de Parscau du Plessix.
Parscau was promoted to Captain in 1772. In 1777, he commanded the 64-gun Roland in Brest. Navy Minister Sartine had chosen her to be one of the six ships held ready for immediate departure at all times.
In 1779, he was flag captain to Orvilliers on the 110-gun Bretagne.
In 1780, he was given command of the 74-gun Intrépide in the squadron under Guichen. He took part in the Battle of Martinique on 17 April 1780, and in an expedition against British interests in Florida. He took part in the Siege of Pensacola in May 1781. On 22 July 1781, as the squadron was anchored at Cap français, a barrel of local rum caught fire, and Intrépide exploded. De Grasse wrote that Parscau was not to be blamed for the incident, and requested he be given a new command.
Parscau was then given command of the 80-gun Languedoc. He took part in the Battle of the Chesapeake on 5 September 1781, as flag captain to Monteil, commander of the French rear.
After the battle, Parscau ferried Lauzun back to France and brought the news of the outcome of the battle.

# Ouvrage Village Coume

Ouvrage Village Coume is a lesser work (petit ouvrage) of the Maginot Line. Located in the Fortified Sector of Boulay, the ouvrage consists of three infantry blocks, and is located between petits ouvrages Bovenberg and Coume Annexe Nord, facing Germany. The position saw little action in World War II. It was sold in the 1970s and stripped by salvagers.

## Design and construction

The site was surveyed by CORF (Commission d'Organisation des Régions Fortifiées), the Maginot Line's design and construction agency; Village Coume was approved for construction in May 1931. It was completed at a cost of 12 million francs by the contractor Duval-Weyrich of Nancy. The petit ouvrage was planned for construction in two phases. The second phase was to provide a separate entry block less than 100 metres (330 ft) behind the ouvrage.

## Description

Village Coume comprises three infantry blocks. A separate entrance block was planned for a second phase of construction which was never undertaken. The blocks are linked by deep underground galleries, which also provide space for barracks, utilities and ammunition storage. The galleries are excavated at an average depth of up to 30 metres (98 ft).
* Block 1: Entry/infantry block with two automatic rifle cloches (GFM), one twin machine gun cloche (JM) and one machine gun/anti-tank gun embrasure (JM/AC47).
* Block 2: Infantry block with two GFM cloche and two twin machine gun embrasures.
* Block 3: infantry/observation block with one GFM cloche and one twin machine gun turret.

## Manning

The 1940 manning of the ouvrage under the command of Lieutenant Lussus comprised 135 men and 2 officers of the 161st Fortress Infantry Regiment. The units were under the umbrella of the 3rd Army, Army Group 2. The Casernement de Ban Saint-Jean provided peacetime above-ground barracks and support services to Village Coume and other positions in the area.

## History

    See Fortified Sector of Boulay for a broader discussion of the Boulay sector of the Maginot Line.
Village Coume played no significant role in either the Battle of France in 1940 or the Lorraine Campaign of 1944.

## Current condition

Village Coume has been stripped by salvagers and is largely buried.

# László Paál

László Paál (30 July 1846, Zám, Transylvania, Austrian Empire - 4 March 1879, Charenton-le-Pont, France) was a Hungarian Impressionist landscape painter.

## Life

He was descended from a noble family and his father was a postmaster, which resulted in frequent moves for the family. He displayed an early talent for art and his first lessons came from Pál Böhm in Arad. Upon his father's request, he went to Vienna in 1864 to study law, but began preparatory studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and became a student of Albert Zimmermann in 1866. Three years later, he participated in a major exhibition in Munich, where he first came into contact with painters of the Barbizon school.
In 1870, he and Eugen Jettel took a study trip to the Netherlands and, later that same year, he entered the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf on the recommendation of his boyhood friend, Mihály Munkácsy. This was followed by an invitation to London, made by a major art dealer there, and his discovery of the works of John Constable.
After 1873, he married and lived at the Barbizon art colony, was a regular participant in the Salon and won a medal at the Exposition Universelle (1878). By this time, his health had noticeably deteriorated (possibly from tuberculosis) and he suffered an accident at home, which resulted in a serious brain injury. He was placed in a nursing home, but never recovered, dying in the spring of 1879 at the age of 33.

# Christian Landenberger

Christian Adam Landenberger (7 April 1862, Ebingen - 13 February 1927, Stuttgart) was a German Impressionist painter and a professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart. He is especially known for his landscapes.

## Life

He was the second in a family of nine children. His parents operated a haulage business. He began his art studies at the Royal Art School of Stuttgart in 1879. From 1883 to 1887, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, where he had his first exposure to the new ideas in art that were circulating there.
In 1890, he had his first public display at the Munich International Art Exhibition in the Glaspalast and, two years later, became one of the founding members of the Munich Secession. He exhibited regularly until 1916. In 1895, he started a private art school and taught drawing at the Munich Association of Women Artists from 1899 to 1905. At that time, he became a professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.

## Style and technique

At first, he created realistic canvases using a dark palette. After 1890, he used brighter colors with lighting effects and broad brushstrokes. He is considered to have been one of the pioneers of German plein-air painting. From 1893 to 1915, he worked on a themed series of paintings he called "Bathing Boys". His landscapes were accomplished in Norway and along the Dutch sea coast as well as in Southern Germany. After 1919, he began to produce etchings of a religious nature.

## Selected works

The municipal art museum in Albstadt, Germany (Kunstmuseum Albstadt) has the largest collection of his work, with over 70 paintings, 200 drawings and 160 pages of print graphics.

# Oboe Sonata (Saint-Saëns)

Camille Saint-Saëns's Oboe Sonata in D major, Op. 166 was composed in 1921, the year of the composer's death.
This sonata is the first of the three sonatas that Saint-Saëns composed for wind instruments, the other two being the Clarinet Sonata (Op. 167) and the Bassoon Sonata (Op. 168), written the same year. These works were part of Saint-Saëns's efforts to expand the repertoire for instruments for which hardly any solo parts were written, as he confided to his friend Jean Chantavoine in a letter dated to 15 April 1921: "At the moment I am concentrating my last reserves on giving rarely considered instruments the chance to be heard."
The piece is dedicated to Louis Bas, first solo oboe with the Societé du Conservatoire de l'Opéra.

## Structure

It is written in three movements:
* Andantino in D major
* Ad libitum – Allegretto – Ad libitum in B flat major
* Molto allegro in D minor - D major
The movements are not ordered according to the traditional fast-slow-fast sonata system. The tempo of the movements increases successively.
The first movement, Andantino, is music of a pastoral kind, in ternary form ABA. The opening theme of the oboe solo is an echo of the Westminster Quarters.
The core of the second movement is a Romance, marked Allegretto. It is preceded by an introduction and followed by an epilogue. The introduction and epilogue are marked ad libitum - that is, the performer is free to choose the tempo considered most appropriate.
The last movement, titled Molto allegro, short and brilliant, has passages of great difficulty and virtuosity.

# Owen Owen (school inspector)

Owen Owen (1850 – 14 March 1920) was a Welsh schoolteacher who, after being headmaster of a successful private school for boys in Oswestry, Shropshire, became the first Chief Inspector of the Central Welsh Board for Intermediate Education.

## Life

Owen was born in the parish of Llaniestyn, on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales. He was educated at Botwnnog grammar school (as was his cousin John Owen, who later became Bishop of St Davids). From there, he proceeded to Jesus College, Oxford where he matriculated in 1873. In 1877, he graduated with a B.A. degree in Literae Humaniores, obtaining his M.A. in 1882. In about 1878, he became headmaster of the Willow Street Academy, a private school in Oswestry, Shropshire. In the 1881 census, the school was recorded as having fourteen boarders aged from ten to twenty four, and a schoolmaster and a housekeeper in addition to Owen. The school’s success led, in 1883, to the purchase of new premises—a house called The Lawn, on Church Street, Oswestry, that had previously been the residence of members of a local wealthy family—and the school was known as Oswestry High School, or the Boys High School. Owen remained as headmaster and the excellent record of the school led to it drawing pupils from across Wales.
The Welsh Intermediate Education Act was passed in 1889, and Owen was co-secretary of the joint conferences set up to establish the schemes to be implemented at county level. In 1896, the Central Welsh Board for Intermediate Education was established, with Arthur Humphreys-Owen (Member of Parliament for Montgomeryshire) as its first chairman and John Viriamu Jones (the first vice-chancellor of the University of Wales) as vice-chairman. The Board had the responsibility of overseeing the Welsh Intermediate Schools, and this was done through an annual examination and inspection. Owen was appointed as the Board’s first chief inspector in 1896. He held the position until 1915, when illness compelled his retirement, and was regarded as having held the office "with exceptional ability and conscientiousness". He was succeeded in the post by William Edwards, a former fellow of Jesus College. After his enforced retirement, he moved to Colwyn Bay on the coast of North Wales, where he died on 14 March 1920; he was buried in the cemetery at Llandrillo-yn-Rhos.
As well as educational matters, his interests included music and politics, with a particular interest in the movement for disestablishment of the Anglican church in Wales. He also served as a justice of the peace in Oswestry from 1893.

# Parsissaet

The parsissaet, (sometimes translated as local councils or guardian councils) were a form of local council in Greenland between 1857 and 1911. They were created by the Royal Greenland Trading Department (KGH).

## 1840 Commission

In 1840, a government commission investigating the Greenland trade issued a report proposing that the KGH be operated on a non-profit basis, reïnvesting any surplus towards benefiting the native Greenlanders; this was accepted, although the company reserved the right to interest on the government's investment into Greenland. The prices paid for native goods – principally sealskins and whale blubber – were raised and expenditures on education (two teacher training colleges and scholarships for study in Denmark) and health care (an additional doctor) increased.

## Parsissaet established

The parsissaet, headed by the local Lutheran priest and KGH factor and composed of appointed Greenlanders, were established experimentally in 1857 and permanently in 1861. The councils were granted control of one-fifth of the area's profits and in exchange took over poor relief, which had previously been the responsibility of the KGH. Profits left unspent by the parsissaet were divided among the local Inuit hunters on the basis of their catch.

## Jurisdiction

The parsissaet also had jurisdiction over local civil suits and misdemeanors among Greenlanders, although felonies were simply investigated and left for the royal governor to decide. The only written laws were that the following actions were illegal:
   1. Unauthorized use of property belonging to others, such as using their tools without permission; damaging such tools; keeping other hunters' catches without payment; taking possession of driftwood which another person had already dragged above the high water mark;
   2. Simple theft and evident disobedience to the authorities;
   3. Capital crimes such as manslaughter and other serious offenses such as the concealment of births.
In other cases, the law was customary, following Inuit traditions or decisions made by the administrators to address some new problem (for instance, the 1890 banning of Greenlandic women from boarding visiting ships after severe venereal disease outbreaks).

## Parsissaet dissolved

The parsissaet were dissolved in 1911 during the process of the Danish Ministry of the Interior taking over colonial administration from the KGH; in their place, local municipal councils were created.
