# Thomas Shearer

Thomas Shearer (fl. 1788) was an 18th-century English furniture designer and cabinet-maker.
Shearer was a craftsman and the author of most of the plates in The Cabinet Maker's London Book of Prices and Designs of Cabinet Work, issued in 1788 "for the London Society of Cabinet Makers." The majority of these plates were republished separately as Designs for Household Furniture. They exhibit their author as a man with an eye at once for simplicity of design and delicacy of proportion; some of his pieces possess a dainty and slender elegance which were a high mark in the history of English furniture.
There can be little doubt that Shearer exercised considerable influence over George Hepplewhite, with whom there is reason to suppose that he was closely associated, while Thomas Sheraton has recorded his admiration for work which has often been attributed to others. Shearer, in his turn, owes something to the Adam brothers, and something, no doubt, to the stock designs of his predecessors.
There is every reason to suppose that he worked at his craft with his own hands and that he was literally a cabinet-maker—so far as we know, he never made chairs. Much of the elegance of Shearer's work is due to his graceful and reticent employment of inlays of satinwood and other foreign woods. But he was as successful in form as in decoration, and no man ever used the curve to better purpose.
In Shearer's time the sideboard was in process of evolution; previously it had been a table with drawers, the pedestals and knife-boxes being separate pieces. He would seem to have been first to combine them into the familiar and often beautiful form they took at the end of the 18th century. The combination may have been made before, but his plate seemed to have been the first published document to show it.
Shearer, like many of his contemporaries, was much given to devising "harlequin" furniture. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, "[h]e was a designer of high merit and real originality, and occupies a distinguished place among the little band of men, often, like himself, ill-educated and obscure of origin, who raised the English cabinet-making of the second half of the 18th century to an illustrious place in artistic history."
# Mark Stoddart

Mark Stoddart (born 1960) is a Scottish sculptor and furniture designer. He is known for his glass topped coffee and dining tables which incorporate bronze sculptures. Having had a difficult schooling until his severe dyslexia was picked up, he has become an ambassador for those affected by the condition.

## Early life

Born in 1960 in Troon, he attended various schools until, at the age of twelve, teachers discovered he was dyslexic. He was then sent to Frewen College, a school in Sussex which offered specialised teaching.

## Career

After leaving school he returned to Scotland and in 1994 set up his own business, Sculpt Art Creations where he began to produce works inspired by his travels. After some success, Sculpt Art gave way to the company that bears his name today, Mark Stoddart International Designer.
He has produced several table designs which feature a bronze cast sculpture acting as the base, appear to be emerging from the water surface, created by the glass. Some of his designs were made to a limited edition of only 99.
In 2008 Sultan bin Mohammed bin Saud Al Kabeer purchased three tables that had horse-themed designs.
Stoddart produced tables which featured a bronze sculpture of the Apollo Lunar Module as the base and a glass top inscribed with the words spoken by Neil Armstrong as he stepped onto the lunar surface in 1969. One of these tables is kept in the Scottish Parliament, others were purchased by astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and American astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
Other high-profile clients include, Eric Clapton, the jockey Frankie Dettori and Elton John.
In 2014 he retrieved a sculpture after a dispute over ownership with a local hotel.

## Charity connections

The 99th piece of his "Walk on the Wildside" table was auctioned in 2007 and the proceeds donated to a wildlife charity. He has donated the sale price of seven works to the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
He has worked as a dyslexia ambassador and his story was included in the book "Dyslexia and Us: A collection of personal stories".

## Personal life

Stoddart now lives in Turnberry in Ayrshire. Stoddart owns a Gordon Keeble car, of which only 99 were ever produced.

# Photoanimation

Photoanimation is a filmmaking technique in which still photos, artwork or other objects are filmed with the use of an animation stand.
Photoanimation techniques have been used from the very early days of motion pictures. Hollywood often leaned on this less expensive technique for some of its movie trailers in the classical era.

## Usage

In making such films the soundtrack is first produced, analyzed and bar sheets made depicting the soundtrack details. Exposure sheets for filming (camera exposures) are then abstracted from the bar sheets.
From the 1980s on, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns popularized a simpler, less complex form of photoanimation later called the Ken Burns effect.

# Reichsliga

The Reichsliga (German:, Reich League) was a proposed nationwide German association football league. First suggested in 1932 by German Football Association (DFB) president Felix Linnemann, the Reichsliga was essentially a forerunner of the Bundesliga, established as a national league (originally for West Germany) in 1963.

## History

Football in Germany after the First World War was very regionalised, leading to the top clubs in the German Reich playing in weak local competitions with clubs well below their own strength. Those clubs would then only truly be challenged during the German finals round. Linnemann wished to achieve a concentration of those clubs by forming a Reichsliga, like it existed in other countries, in which those clubs could play together. This however was vetoed by the powerful regional associations in 1932.
The discussion about the Reichsliga went hand in hand with the question of professionalism in Germany, with the DFB being a strong advocate for keeping the game amateur in the country. In October 1932 however, the federation made a sudden, unexpected turnaround and legalised professionalism. Before steps could be taken, in January 1933, the Nazis came to power and paid football was moved off the DFB agenda again.
From 1933, instead of the Reichsliga, the Nazis introduced 16 regional Gauligas. In 1938 however, the Reichsliga was once more contemplated after the freshly unified German-Austrian team, playing with high expectations at the 1938 FIFA World Cup was a complete disappointment, being knocked out in the first round. The embarrassment to Germany and its Nazi government caused the latter to approve plans for the consolidation of German football. The Reichsliga or, as an alternative, the reduction of the number of Gauligas from 16 to five was envisioned. The events of the Second World War however put a stop to all these plans and by the time the regime fell in 1945 the number of Gauligas had increased greatly in response to travel difficulties caused by the war and Nazi expansionism.
After 1945, the Oberligas were gradually formed in Allied-occupied Germany, first in the South and Berlin, later in the West and North, too, which had suffered greater damage to its infrastructure through strategic bombing during the war and was consequently slower to rebuild. Travel between occupation zones was difficult and the new leagues followed in their boundaries the limits of the Allied zones, putting a nationwide league out of question. In any case, such a league would not have been able to be called the Reichsliga anymore, as the German Reich had ceased to exist.
With the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, soon requests for the Bundesliga were voiced and a national league was finally established in 1963.

# Leucosyrinx iwaensis

Leucosyrinx iwaensis is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.

## Description

The length of the shell attains 25 mm, its diameter 8.3 mm.
(Original description) The shell is of medium size moderately slender. The spire is fusiform. The whorls are subangulate. The protoconch consists of 1½ smooth whorls, the first full turn slightly tilted and moderately small. The aperture is about half as long as shell, moderately narrow. The outer lip is thin and rounded, recurving sharply to the anal sinus. The columella is of moderate length and straight. The anal sinus is moderately broad and deep, adjacent to the suture and showing only a slight amount of recurving from the apex of the sinus to the suture. The sculpture consists of inclined axials, about eight visible from an angle on the young whorls but becoming obsolete on the body whorl. Medium textured raised spiral lines below the periphery, extending with about equal strength to the tip of the columella. The subsutural slope is sculptured with similar lines which are weaker immediately above the periphery, but stronger near the suture.
There seems to be no relative of this species described from the western Pacific region. It differs from the type of Leucosyrinx in being slenderer and having more regular spiral markings, those of L. verrilli being discontinuous near the periphery. The axial nodes of L. verrilli are shorter and somewhat stronger.

## Distribution

Fossils of this marine species were found in Miocene strata of Okinawa.
