# Proverbs and Songs

Proverbs and Songs is a live album by the English saxophonist John Surman recorded at Salisbury Cathedral on June 1, 1996 with organist John Taylor and the 75-strong Salisbury Festival Chorus and released on ECM the following year, consisting a suite of choral settings of Old Testament texts.

## Background

It was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 1998. Surman performed the suite several times after the 1996 performance.

## Reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings | |
The AllMusic review awarded the album 2.5 stars. Alyn Shipton wrote that Surman's "unaccompanied choral writing was rich and unusual and elsewhere the sense of jazz rhythm and forward motion came almost exclusively from his saxophone, creating rich ostinatos, or swirling aggressively among the choral parts."

# Schanuel's lemma

In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as module theory, Schanuel's lemma, named after Stephen Schanuel, allows one to compare how far modules depart from being projective. It is useful in defining the Heller operator in the stable category, and in giving elementary descriptions of dimension shifting.

## Statement

Schanuel's lemma is the following statement:
Let R be a ring with identity. If 0 → K → P → M → 0 and 0 → K′ → P′ → M → 0 are short exact sequences of R-modules and P and P′ are projective, then K ⊕ P′ is isomorphic to K′ ⊕ P.

## Proof

Define the following submodule of $P\oplus P'$, where $\phi \colon P\to M$ and $\phi '\colon P'\to M$:
    $X=\{(p,q)\in P\oplus P':\phi (p)=\phi '(q)\}.$
The map $\pi \colon X\to P$, where $\pi$ is defined as the projection of the first coordinate of $X$ into $P$, is surjective. Since $\phi '$ is surjective, for any $p\in P$, one may find a $q\in P'$ such that $\phi (p)=\phi '(q)$. This gives $(p,q)\in X$ with $\pi (p,q)=p$. Now examine the kernel of the map $\pi$:
    ${\begin{aligned}\ker \pi &=\{(0,q):(0,q)\in X\}\\&=\{(0,q):\phi '(q)=0\}\\&\cong \ker \phi '\cong K'.\end{aligned}}$
We may conclude that there is a short exact sequence
    $0\rightarrow K'\rightarrow X\rightarrow P\rightarrow 0.$
Since $P$ is projective this sequence splits, so $X\cong K'\oplus P$. Similarly, we can write another map $\pi '\colon X\to P'$, and the same argument as above shows that there is another short exact sequence
    $0\rightarrow K\rightarrow X\rightarrow P'\rightarrow 0,$
and so $X\cong P'\oplus K$. Combining the two equivalences for $X$ gives the desired result.

## Long exact sequences

The above argument may also be generalized to long exact sequences.

## Origins

Stephen Schanuel discovered the argument in Irving Kaplansky's homological algebra course at the University of Chicago in Autumn of 1958. Kaplansky writes:
    Early in the course I formed a one-step projective resolution of a module, and remarked that if the kernel was projective in one resolution it was projective in all. I added that, although the statement was so simple and straightforward, it would be a while before we proved it. Steve Schanuel spoke up and told me and the class that it was quite easy, and thereupon sketched what has come to be known as "Schanuel's lemma."

# Kent Rathbun

Kent Rathbun (born William Kent Rathbun on April 17, 1961, in Kansas City, Missouri) is a four-time Beard Award-nominated American chef and restaurateur. His restaurants included Abacus, in Dallas, Texas, an upscale restaurant chosen as most popular in Dallas by the 2007 edition of the Zagat Survey; Jasper's, in the Texas cities of Dallas, Plano(closed), Richardson, The Woodlands, and Austin(closed); and Hickory (closed), his upscale burger and bbq concept in Plano. He also catered in Dallas/Ft Worth, Houston and Austin with his entity Kent Rathbun Catering.
In February 2008 he and his brother, fellow chef Kevin Rathbun, appeared as contestants on Iron Chef America. They beat Bobby Flay on the "elk" episode. The scene where Chef Kent carries the elk appeared on Iron Chef's Greatest Moments.

## Career

Rathbun entered the food industry at age 14, washing dishes at a local Sambo's, a job for which he had lied about his age, claiming to be one year older. By the end of his first day as a dishwasher, he had asked to help the night cook, who within three weeks recommended that Rathbun be promoted to the cooking station. At age 17, he was working as an apprentice in the 5-star dining room of Kansas City's La Bonne Auberge restaurant, where his mother worked as a maitre d'. The fine dining experience changed his culinary tastes, causing him to come home determined to educate the experienced cooks in his household: "When I started learning how to work with fresh vegetables and snails and foie gras, that's when my taste just exploded. I told my mother, `I can't believe it. All those things you and Grandma have been cooking all these years - you've been overcookin' 'em.'"
After running a catering service for the Dallas Museum of Art and serving as sous chef in Dallas' The Mansion on Turtle Creek, Rathbun decided in 1999 to open his own restaurant Abacus. Shortly thereafter, in 2003 he opened Jasper's in Plano. Both establishments were opened as smoke-free restaurants prior to Dallas' enacting a ban on public smoking, and Rathbun has been active in efforts to ban smoking in restaurants statewide. Zagat rated Abacus highly in 2008 as well as in 2007, granting the restaurant a rating of 28 points (on a scale of 30) for its food and 27 for its decor and service — a rating range that the guide describes as denoting "extraordinary to perfection" — and quoting survey respondents who called Rathbun a "genius." Abacus has been awarded the Forbes Four-Star and the AAA Four Diamonds for over 14 years. Jasper's was awarded NRN Hot Concept Award and was named as having some of the top ribs in America by Bon Appetit.

## Personal life

Rathbun is currently married to fellow restaurateur Tracy Rathbun, co-owner of Dallas' Lovers Seafood and Shinsei restaurant with Lynne Fearing. The close ties among the four restaurateurs were highlighted in media coverage when chefs Tre Wilcox of Abacus and Casey Thompson of Shinsei were selected as contestants in the third season of the reality television program Top Chef.
# Marquis of Vila Viçosa

The title Marquis of Vila Viçosa (in Portuguese Marquês de Vila Viçosa) was created by royal decree, dated May 25, 1455, by King Afonso V of Portugal), to Fernando of Braganza, second son of Afonso, 1st Duke of Braganza.
Dom Fernando, was already 3rd Count of Arraiolos when he got the new title of Marquis of Vila Viçosa. Later, in 1460, as his older brother Afonso, died without legitimate issue, he became the House of Braganza heir and, one year later, following his father’s death (1461), he also became the 2nd Duke of Braganza.
That’s why the title Marquis of Vila Viçosa became associated with the title Duke of Braganza.
The Queen consort Amélie of Orleans, while in exile (20th Century), also used the title of Marchioness of Vila Viçosa.

## List of marquesses of Vila Viçosa

* Ferdinand I of Braganza (1403–1478), 2nd Duke of Braganza;
* Ferdinand II of Braganza (1430–1483), 3rd Duke of Braganza;
* James of Braganza (1479–1532), 4th Duke of Braganza;
* Teodósio I of Braganza (1520–1563), 5th Duke of Braganza;
* John I of Braganza (1543–1583), 6th Duke of Braganza;
* Teodósio II of Braganza (1568–630), 7th Duke of Braganza;
* John II of Braganza (1604–1656), 8th Duke of Braganza, crowned King as John IV of Portugal, on December 1, 1640
After the accession of the House of Braganza to the Portuguese throne in 1640, this title became linked to the Crown.

# King Street Barracks

The King Street Barracks is a former military installation in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is a Category C listed building.

## History

The building, which was designed by William Ramage in the Scottish baronial style as a militia barracks, was completed in 1863. It was first used by the Royal Aberdeenshire Highlanders in 1862. It was enlarged in 1880 and the Royal Aberdeenshire Highlanders evolved to become the 3rd Battalion, the Gordon Highlanders in 1881. After training moved to Fort George, the site was decommissioned by the army and acquired by Aberdeen Corporation Tramways in 1914. Following the privatisation of Grampian Regional Transport in 1989 and the formation of FirstBus in 1995, the site became the head office of FirstGroup.
