# Robert Hoey

Robert Alexander Hoey (September 12, 1883—November 15, 1965) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1921 to 1925, served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1927 to 1936, and was a cabinet minister in the government of John Bracken.
Hoey was born in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland, and came to Canada in 1909. He was educated at Wesley College and Manitoba College in Winnipeg and became a pioneer worker in the farmer's movement. He served as provincial director of the United Farmers of Manitoba (UFM) in 1918, and worked as the UFM's field secretary from 1919 to 1921.
He was elected to the House of Commons in Canada's federal election of 1921 as a Progressive candidate, defeating Liberal candidate Thomas Molloy by 1,397 votes in the riding of Springfield. He served on the opposition benches of parliament for the next four years, and did not seek re-election in 1925. He returned to farm organization after leaving the House of Commons in 1925, taking part in the organization of the Western Wheat Pools.
The United Farmers of Manitoba unexpectedly won a government majority in the 1922 provincial election, and formed government as the Progressive Party of Manitoba. Hoey was asked to become Premier of Manitoba but declined. John Bracken was then selected in his place.
On April 28, 1927, Hoey joined Bracken's provincial government as Minister of Education. He did not hold a seat in the legislature at the time but was a prominent campaigner for the Progressive Party in the 1927 provincial election, and defeated independent incumbent Donald A. Ross by 710 votes in the St. Clements constituency. He was easily returned in the 1932 election and served as Minister of Education until the end of his nine-year tenure in the legislature. He also served as acting Attorney General from February 22 to May 18, 1929.
In 1932, Hoey played a prominent role in negotiations between Manitoba's Progressive and Liberal parties, which resulted in a Liberal-Progressive electoral alliance. The alliance eventually became a permanent partnership, and government members became known as "Liberal-Progressives."
Hoey was defeated in the 1936 provincial election, losing to Independent Labour Party candidate Herbert Sulkers by 665 votes.
After his electoral defeat in 1936, he became Superintendent of Welfare and Training in the Indian Affairs Branch of the federal Department of Mines and Resources. He served in that position until March 1945, when he became Director of the Indian Affairs Branch, a position that he held until 1948.
Hoey was appointed to a seat on the Northwest Territories Council in 1946, and served to 1951.
# Robert T. Beyer

Robert Thomas Beyer (January 27, 1920 – August 20, 2008) was an American physicist, best known for his work in acoustics, and for his translations of Russian and German physics books and journals into English.

## Early life and education

Beyer was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on January 27, 1920. He received his A.B. in Mathematics from Hofstra in 1942, and his doctorate in physics from Cornell University in 1945, with a dissertation focused on magnetic amplifiers.

## Career

Beyer was hired as an instructor at Brown University in 1945, where Robert Bruce Lindsay quickly persuaded him to join the physical acoustics laboratory. He spent his entire career at Brown, being appointed assistant professor in 1947, associate professor in 1951, and full professor in 1958, serving as chairman of the physics department from 1968-74.
He co-wrote the book "College Physics" in 1957, followed by the advanced treatises "Physical Ultrasonics" and "Nonlinear Acoustics" in 1969 and 1976, respectively. In 2000, his book "Sounds of Our Times", a history of the science of acoustics since 1800, was published by Springer Science+Business Media.

## Translations

Beyer translated John von Neumann's Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics from German into English, in 1955, for Princeton University Press.

## Personal life

Beyer was afflicted with severe rheumatic fever as a teenager, which damaged his heart, and later by multiple sclerosis.
He married the former Ellen Fletcher on Valentine's Day in 1944, and they remained devoted to each other until Ellen's death in 2005. They had four children: Catherine Beyer Hurst, Margaret Beyer, Rick Beyer, and Mary Beyer Trotter.
He died in August 2008.
# Robert T. Ball Jr.

Robert T. Ball Jr. is a public health and infectious disease specialist who discovered the first case of AIDS in South Carolina.

## Personal life and education

Ball was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He attended the College of Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina, studying internal medicine. He completed his medical residency at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. During his college years, he was conservative in his views, participating in the John Birch Society. Ball was drafted during the Vietnam War and sent to work at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center for two years.

## Medical research

Ball opened a private practice in the Charleston neighborhood of West Ashley in 1977, where he diagnosed the state's first recorded case of Legionnaires' disease and was one of the first physicians in South Carolina to diagnose a case of toxic shock syndrome.
In 1982 Ball made the first formal AIDS diagnosis in the state of South Carolina. This patient, known as Patient No.1, donated blood that was used as a national positive control sample for AIDS testing until 1983. He became known as the "AIDS doctor," and while AIDS patients sought him out for treatment, non-AIDS patients left, bankrupting his practice. Many of Ball's medical partners refused to treat patients with AIDS. In 1987 he was forced to sell his practice and leave Charleston for Columbia, South Carolina where he earned a Master's degree in Public Health. While working for the Department of Health and Environmental Control, Ball led a state task force, creating the South Carolina Ryan White Care Act which provided service and care for South Carolina patients with AIDS.
Despite retiring from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) in 2012, Ball continues to be active in the state's response to COVID-19.

# Minolta AF Zoom 70-210mm f/4

The Minolta AF Zoom 70–210mm f/4 lens (colloquially known as the "beercan") is an autofocusing telephoto photographic lens compatible with cameras using the Minolta AF lens mount.
It was introduced in 1985 at the launch of the Minolta Maxxum/Dynax/Alpha 7000 camera (the first widely successful autofocus SLR) and remained in production for many years. Two years earlier, the lens had been introduced as a one-touch zoom in the manual-focus Minolta SR mount (as a "plain" MD lens). However, production slowed and then eventually stopped for both the AF and MD versions; its successors, the 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 and 70-210mm f/4.5-5.6 had none of the qualities of the original and build and image quality decreased.
It remains popular, however, for use on digital single lens reflex cameras using the AF system, such as the Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D or the Sony α. Although relatively bulky and weighty, the lens is valued for its solid build, sharpness, constant maximum aperture and smooth bokeh effect, though it suffers from more pronounced aberrations than equivalent modern designs. It provides a 1:4 magnification (at minimum focus, an object records at 1/4 its size on film or sensor).
# Minolta AF Macro 50mm f/2.8

Originally produced by Minolta, and later produced by Sony, the AF Macro 50mm f/2.8 is a macro prime photographic lens compatible with cameras using the Minolta A-mount and Sony A-mount lens mounts.

## History and design

The 50mm f/2.8 was one of the lenses introduced with the Maxxum 7000 in 1985. It later was updated in a second version with an identical optical design and restyled cosmetics, which added a focus hold button. A third version was released in 2001 with a larger rubber focus ring and an 8-pin electronic interface for use with "D" series flashes and bodies; this was subsequently adopted and re-released by Sony after it acquired the camera division of Konica Minolta in 2006.

The optical design for the 50mm f/2.8 macro lens was credited to Sho Tokumaru, featuring a "double floating" element design, which incorporated zoom lens technology to move three groups independently at slightly different rates during focusing to improve lens performance over a wide range of focusing distances.
# Joe Thomas (clarinetist)

Joseph William "Brother Cornbread" Thomas (December 3, 1902 – February 18, 1981) was an American jazz clarinetist and singer, closely associated with the New Orleans jazz scene.

## Career

Thomas's first professional gig was in New Orleans with trombone player Joe Harris in 1923. Soon after that, he worked with Jack Carey, Chris Kelly, and Kid Rena. He recorded with Charles Derbigny in 1941, but the recordings were not publicly released until the 1960s, by which time Thomas had become a figure in the Dixieland revival movement. He led his own ensemble at New Orleans's H&J Tavern for much of the 1940s, then, in 1951, became a sideman for Papa Celestin. He worked with this ensemble for years, including after Papa French and Eddie Pierson had taken over as leader. Other associations in the 1950s and 1960s included work with Freddie Kohlman, Punch Miller, the Olympia Brass Band, and on Swedish television with Sweet Emma Barrett in 1968. In the 1970s he worked with the Legends of Jazz, replacing Joe Darensbourg.

# Cheshire dialect

The Cheshire dialect is a Northern English dialect spoken in the county of Cheshire in North West England. It has similarities with the dialects of the surrounding counties of Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Derbyshire.

## History

The dialect has existed for centuries and is distinct from what became standard British English. The works of the 14th century poets, including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the religious poem St. Erkenwald, and other works of the Gawain poet, are written in this dialect. Cheshire author Alan Garner states "Of course [the Cheshire dialect] has changed, as all living language changes, since the time of the Gawain poet. But when I read sections of the poem aloud to my father, he knew, and used, more than 90% of the vocabulary; and the phonetics of the vowels have scarcely changed."
Early references include English proverbs and dialect words collected by John Ray in the 17th century, and a glossary of Cheshire words compiled by Roger Wilbraham in 1817 and expanded in 1826. These sources were expanded by Egerton Leigh in a glossary published posthumously in 1877, which was an attempt to preserve a way of speech that was already under threat from "emigration, railways, and the blending of shires." Leigh notes that some words collected by Ray had already disappeared. Later reference works include Thomas Darlington's Folk-speech of South Cheshire (1887) and Peter Wright's The Cheshire Chatter (1979).

## Characteristics and usage

Cheshire dialect contains some words that are distinct from standard English, such as "shippen" for cow shed. According to Leigh, most unique Cheshire words derive from Anglo-Saxon; "shippen" is from scypen. Other words derive from transposition, for example, "waps" for "wasp" and "neam" for "name". The British Library Sound Archive contains recordings of the dialect from various parts of the county. A number of authors have written in Cheshire dialect, including poetry by H. V. Lucas (Homage to Cheshire; 1939–60) and Rowland Egerton-Warburton (Hunting Songs; 1877), and prose by Beatrice Tunstall.

## Phonology

Like most dialects in Northern England and the Midlands, Cheshire English lacks both the trap-bath and foot-strut splits. Words with the bath vowel like castle or past are pronounced with [a] instead of [ɑː] while words with the strut vowel such as cut, up and lunch are pronounced with [ʊ] instead of [ʌ] like in most of Southern England. H-dropping is another feature which occurs in Cheshire English, in which the [h] sound is usually omitted from most words, while NG-coalescence is also absent, with the ng in words like sing or thing being pronounced as [ŋɡ] instead of just [ŋ] like in most English dialects. Some areas in the north-west of Cheshire such as Runcorn or Ellesmere Port share phonological similarities with Merseyside English, with features such as [k] being fricatised into [x], along with the dental fricatives [θ] and [ð] being realised as dental stops [t̪] and [d̪], being present in some cases.
