# Gemeenlandshuis

A Gemeenlandshuis, or Waterschapshuis is a building that is (or was formerly used as) the headquarters of one of the Waterboards of the Netherlands.

## History

Early flood control in the Netherlands is often called the Teerschouw, which loosely translated means "consumption during observation". This technique was a periodic check of the local dike system by the Dike-reeve and his men. If they found a problem, they would simply go to the nearest house or inn, and stay there for free until the problem was fixed. This was a fairly direct and simple form of water management. These measures were rarely necessary, since the local people took water management very seriously. The Dike-reeve and his men (themselves local representatives of smaller water board agencies) mostly met to discuss major issues and water improvements, and though they met at each other's homes until the 16th century, as the country grew and the water management issues became more complex, halls were purchased to meet each other regularly.
The Water Boards became governing bodies much like a town hall became a meeting place for the city council. In most Dutch cities, especially those on a river or located at a seaside port, the Gemeenlandshuis was the same size as the Town Hall. Examples can be seen today in Leiden, home to the Gemeenlandshuis van Rijnland, and Delft, home to the Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland.
The Gemeenlandshuis in Delft houses the main office of the Delfland Water Board. The Late-Gothic building, situated on the Oude Delft 167, was built in 1505. The first owner was Jan de Huyter, bailiff of Delft and steward of Delfland. Later occupants were Philips, Count of Hohenlohe who was married to Maria of Nassau, a daughter of Willem of Orange. The Delfland Water Board has been established here since 1645. The building contains a large collection of old maps of Delfland. A large number of Coats of Arms (or heraldic shields) cover the sandstone façade . Fortunately the façade was spared during the fire of 1536 which burned through the city of Delft. The main entrance to the Delfland Water Board is now situated on the Phoenixstraat where more recently buildings been added on.

## Borders of jurisdiction

The Water Boards governed territories that spanned several municipalities. Because of the complications this extra dimension gave to local governance, city planning was done as much as possible in accordance with water management plans. To save time, the meetings were done as much as possible near to the areas in question. This meant that the Dike-Reeve and his men needed to travel a lot. Since the Water Boards received their own income from taxes, they had enough money to spend on meeting halls, and they built meeting halls for convenience in out-of-the-way places. For this reason many meeting halls were unusually large that were located in very small towns, such as the Gemeenlandshuis Zwanenburg in Halfweg, or the Waterschapshuis in Onderdendam. These were locations that were strategically suited for meetings when the waterworks were being inspected.

# Gerald Bertram Webb

Gerald Bertram Webb (September 24, 1871–January 27, 1948) was an English-born American physician who became the first president of the American Association of Immunologists, as well as president of the American Clinical and Climatological Association, National Tuberculosis Association, and Association of American Physicians.

## Early life and education

Webb was a native of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. After three years of study at Guy's Hospital in London, he came to the United States in 1893. He and his American-born wife settled in Denver, in the hope that the mountain air would prove beneficial to the tuberculosis with which she had been diagnosed. They remained in Denver for several years, with Webb receiving his M.D. degree from the University of Denver in 1896 and subsequently working in private practice.

## Tuberculosis research

Webb's wife finally succumbed to her tuberculosis, dying in 1903, and he himself suffered a near-fatal bout of sepsis leading him to return to Europe to further his medical education. He spent two years pursuing postgraduate work, first in Vienna and later in London. In the latter, he worked in the laboratory of the pioneering British immunologist Almroth Wright. When he returned to the United States in 1907, he opened a specialized practice limited to the research and treatment of tuberculosis.
Webb spent more than forty years working against tuberculosis. At first, he believed that inoculation with virulent tuberculosis was the only path towards immunity, but a long series of inoculation experiments convinced him of the impracticality of this approach. He then moved towards other methods, researching the effects of altitude on the blood of tuberculosis sufferers and refining existing methods of pneumothorax treatment. During World War I, he volunteered for service with the U.S. Army Medical Corps; he helped to organize the military's tuberculosis screening program, and was appointed one of the tuberculosis consultants for the American Expeditionary Forces. During the war, he spent much of his time in France, performing clinical examinations as well as lectures and other educational programs. After the war's end, he designated several hospitals for the treatment of TB-infected soldiers returning to America. In 1924, Webb founded the Colorado Foundation for Research in Tuberculosis, which was renamed in his honor following his death.

## Marriages and family

Webb married twice, both times to Americans. His first wife, Jenny Raphael Kenny, died in 1903 after suffering several years of tuberculosis. He remarried in 1904 to Varina Hayes, a granddaughter of Confederate president Jefferson Davis and his second wife Varina. He and his second wife had five children: Varina Margaret Webb, Frances Robine Webb, Eleanor Leila Constance Webb, Joel Addison Hayes Webb, and Gerald Bertram Webb Jr. (who died before his father, in 1947). His second wife predeceased him as well, leaving him her interest in Brierfield Plantation. Webb died of a heart attack at his home in Colorado Springs on January 27, 1948.

# Luciano Serra pilota (Righeira song)

"Luciano Serra pilota" is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira, included on their debut studio album, Righeira (1983). Johnson Righeira, the writer of the song, was inspired to write the song after an Italian war drama film of the same name.

## Composition

Johnson Righeira wrote "Luciano Serra pilota" with inspiration from the 1938 Italian war drama film Luciano Serra, Pilot starring Amedeo Nazzari as Luciano Serra. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Righi commented, "The song was mainly based on D.A.F. and Kraftwerk, one of my favourite bands."
"Luciano Serra pilota" was one of five songs from Righeira to be written solely by Righi (the other four being "Tanzen mit Righeira", "Gli parlerò di te", "Disco Volante" and "Kon Tiki").

## Critical reception

In a review of the Righeira album, the song was described, along with "Gli parlerò di te" and "Kon Tiki", as a "hidden pearl of dance and pop music".
According to the staff from the Obscure Music Club, it's a "true electrosynth masterpiece".

## Music video

Pierluigi de Mas directed the music video for "Luciano Serra pilota", which was filmed in Italy. It premiered on MTV in Italy in 1983 together with the duo's hit single "Vamos a la playa" from the same album, followed by "No Tengo Dinero" in 1984.
In the music video, Righi and Rota, dressed in pilot uniforms, sings and dance in front of a greenscreen with an image of a biplane as background. In addition to the song, the editors added sounds of machine guns, aircraft and military trumpet signals. The singing has a robotic and tight rhythm, heavily inspired by German music productions.

### Reception and analysis

Rolling Stone's Eric Pfeil described the music video for "Luciano Serra pilota" as "[a] parody of fascist heroes". Pfeil added that "paying homage to the Italian fighter pilot Luciano Serra wouldn't have been necessary [...] The Italian propaganda film of the same name from 1938 goes back to the ideas of Benito Mussolini".

# Frances Deborah Levvy

Frances Deborah Levvy (November 14, 1831 – November 29, 1924) was an Australian animal protection advocate who was involved with establishing the RSPCA and Bands of Mercy in Australia.

## Life

Levvy was born in 1831 in Penrith. Her parents were Sarah Emma (born Wilson) and Barnett Levey and she was the last of their four children. Her father founded the first theatre and made watches until he died in 1837. He was said to be the first Jew to voluntarily emigrate to Australia and his wife had too. Levvy, her mother and her three siblings were poor and they became Christians. Levvy was content as a Christian and she gave money later in life to encourage other Jews to follow her.
In 1874 she moved to Newtown with her sister Emma Clarke after her husband, Dr George Thomas Clarke, died. She had lived with them before this.
A Women's section of the RSPCA in Australia was formed by Levvy in 1882. However the British organisation disowned the connection after an Australian staff member was found guilty of extortion in 1896. Levvy persevered and the organisation was rebranded as the Women's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The British Bands of Mercy movement spread to Australia, Canada and the US. The Australian first Band of Mercy was founded on 4 January 1884 by Levvy and her sister Emma. Frances' efforts resulted in her reporting that were 446 similar groups by 1889. The public schools in New South Wales supported her efforts to expand even more and she was paid to create new Bands of Mercy in Schools by the Department of Public Instruction. In return for the fifty pounds she was paid she visited dozens of schools and handled a voluminous correspondence.
Levvy's relationship with the British RSPCA became difficult, but she persevered. She published the Band of Mercy and Humane Journal of New South Wales from July 1887 to 1923. This was one of her major contributions. It was created every month and Levvy wrote a lot of the content. The journal created offshoots including the Band of Mercy Advocate NSW. In 1920 the Bands of Mercy had 60,000 members organised in 131 different bands.
Levvy died in 1924 at her home in Waverley.
# Gemeenlandshuis Zwanenburg

The Gemeenlandshuis Zwanenburg (Dutch pronunciation:), located on Haarlemmerstraatweg in Halfweg, is a former Gemeenlandshuis of the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland designed by Pieter Post and built 1645–1648.

## History

The Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland built this building as a meeting hall to use for water management of the IJ and the Haarlem Lake in 1645. They had previously built a similar meeting house in 1641 to oversee the dam in Spaarndam. Since 1518 when the Hoogheemraadschap sent men to defend the dam at Spaarndam from troops sent by the rebellious city of Haarlem, the Hoogheemraadschap had met for water management on neutral ground in Leiden. To be able to meet more efficiently during yearly inspection of the dikes, they built meeting halls in strategic locations outside the Haarlem city limits on their own terrain. The Hoogheemraadschap privileges were considered a higher form of government than the Haarlem city rights (awarded to Haarlem in 1245), and were described in a document that was given to the dike wardens at Spaarndam in 1255. This granting of privileges by Count William II of Holland was the subject of a painting by Caesar van Everdingen that was painted as decoration for the meeting hall in Halfweg, and which hangs today in the Gemeenlandshuis van Rijnland, the meeting hall purchased in 1578 on the Breestraat in Leiden.
This building was also the permanent residence of the Halfweg dijkgraaf (official). The duties of the dike warden changed over time and Zwanenburg evolved into a weather station. The Zwanenburg resident Jan Noppen (1706–1734) and his friend and Spaarndam water board colleague Nicolaas Kruik were inspired by the British Royal Society to measure the temperature, air pressure, humidity, and rainfall 3 times daily. They decided to measure wind as well and it was Jan Noppen who invented the Dutch windspeed standard based on the amount of sail in use on windmill sails. For example, when it was too dangerous to run the mill, it was considered "molenwind 13", which today is "windkracht 8" or gale force on the Beaufort scale.
The location was later in use by the town hall and chamber of commerce of Halfweg, and eventually in 1919 the newly formed N.V. Centrale Suiker Maatschappij, or CSM Suiker fabriek, set up headquarters there.

# Point Pleasant, Indiana

Point Pleasant was a small village (now extinct) in Pine Township, Warren County, Indiana, located about a mile and a half southwest of Rainsville near the confluence of Big Pine Creek and Mud Pine Creek, a site currently known as Rocky Ford. It was laid out by one John H. Bartlett and platted July 14, 1830, but never grew, and consisted only of Bartlett's residence, a liquor store and perhaps a saw mill. An 1883 county history describes Point Pleasant, but notes that "this was a paper town only."

## Geography

Point Pleasant is located in the northwest half of the northeast quarter of section 33, township 23, range 8.
# Rhein–Main (train)

The Rhein–Main was an express train that linked Frankfurt am Main with Dortmund in Germany and later with Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The train was named after the two rivers, the Rhine and the Main, that join west of Frankfurt. For most of its life, it was a Trans Europ Express (TEE).

## F-Zug

The Rhein–Main was launched in May 1953 as train number F 31 northbound and F 32 southbound. The service was operated by Deutsche Bundesbahn (German Federal Railways) with Class VT 08 [de] diesel multiple units.

## Trans Europ Express

On 2 June 1957, the Rhein–Main was one of the initial TEE services. The rolling stock was given TEE signage on front but the use of VT 08 continued for a few months, because the German TEE trainsets planned for it were not available for the Rhein–Main until 1 December 1957. With the start of the TEE network the northern terminus was changed from Dortmund to Amsterdam, and the Cologne – Dortmund portion of the Rhein–Main became part of the TEE Saphir. During the summer of 1958 and the winter of 1958–59 the Rhein–Main and Saphir ran coupled between Frankfurt and Cologne after the Saphir's eastern terminus was changed from Dortmund to Frankfurt. After 31 May 1959, the Saphir, using the east bank of the Rhine, and the Rhein–Main using the west bank of the Rhine calling at the West-German capital Bonn, ran as separate trains again.
On 28 May 1967, the Oberhausen–Arnhem railway electrification works were completed and Rhein–Main's rolling stock was replaced by electric-locomotive-hauled trains. Because of poor loading figures on the evening service between Bonn and Frankfurt the southbound service was shortened to Bonn on 26 September 1971. The northbound route continued to start in Frankfurt. On 28 May 1972, the service was renamed TEE Van Beethoven.
