# Shlomo Polachek

Shlomo Polachek (Hebrew: שלמה פוליצ'ק; 1877 – July 9, 1928) known as "the Meitscheter Illui" was born in Sinichinitz, near Meitchet, Grodna. He was an important Talmudic scholar and one of the earliest roshei yeshiva in America.

## Biography

He entered the Volozhin yeshiva when he was only twelve years old, and remained there until its close in the winter of 1892. He then went to learn with his mentor, Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, in Brisk for the next four years. Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman attested that he personally heard from Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, regarding Polachek in 1896, “Aza meshunediger illui vi der Meitsheter hob ich in leben nit gezen — I’ve never met a genius like the Meitscheter in my entire life.”
Polachek went on to become the rosh yeshiva in yeshivos in Lida and Białystok. At the invitation of Rabbi Dr. Dov Revel, Polachek arrived in America in 1922 to become a rosh yeshiva at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) the rabbinical school of Yeshiva University and its Yeshiva College, America's first yeshiva. He taught at RIETS for six years until his sudden passing in 1928.

## Views

Polachek held some broad-minded views relative to some of his contemporaries. For example, Jeffrey S. Gurock writes in Judaism's Encounter with American Sports (Indiana University Press):
   ...Polachek was silent on the importance of gyms and teams within the school [Yeshiva University]. But reportedly he did harbor a positive view of yeshivas encouraging students physical fitness. It was a Maimonidean-style point of view that [Bernard] Revel could have counted upon if he were ever challenged about what was going on in his Torah school...
Following the sudden passing of Polachek in 1928, more than 15,000 people at gathered at his funeral outside the Yeshiva on the Lower East Side. Among those who eulogized him were Rabbi Boruch Ber Lebowitz.
Rabbi Shimon Shkop was persuaded to replace him for a short period of time.

## Family

His children were notable in their own right, including daughter Rebbetzin Libby Mowshowitz (married to Rabbi Dr. Israel Mowshowitz), a son who received a PhD, and another son who became a doctor .

## Prominent Students

Some of Polachek's prominent students included:
* Rabbi Menachem Perr
* Rabbi Nosson Meir Wachtfogel
* Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg
* Rabbi Isaac Tendler
* Rabbi Zalman Levine
* Rabbi Mordechai Stern
* Rabbi Nisan Waxman

## Observance of his Yahrtzeit

Each year on the 21st of Tammuz, there is a pilgrimage to his grave at the Mount Judah Cemetery in Ridgewood, Queens.

# Hello America (song)

"Hello America" is a 1980 song by the English rock band Def Leppard from their debut album, On Through the Night. The lyrics and title of the song are about the fantasies the band had about touring in America.

## Background

The single's B-side, "Good Morning Freedom" has only been released on CD in 2018 on the Rarities: Volume One CD which was part of the Collection Part One box set. The song was featured on a BBC studio session recorded in 1979 and the show has since been bootlegged. A live version of the song is also included on Viva! Hysteria, released in October 2013, although Def Leppard have all but disowned On Through the Night and "Hello America" was one of the first songs to leave the setlist, having never been played live since the release of High 'n' Dry.
An alternate recording of the song "Hello America" appeared as a B-side on the "Wasted" single, also an alternate recording. Both were recorded a few months earlier than the main album sessions.

## Video

When the song was within the Top 50 in the UK Singles Chart, Mercury Records had the band record a performance for BBC's Top of the Pops, provided that the song advanced the following week. However, the song slipped off the charts, and the video never aired. It is, however, included in the band's video Historia. What makes this video unique is that Rick Allen's drum kit is placed in the front of the stage, while the rest of the band performs behind him. Joe Elliott is wearing a patriotic outfit because of the red and white striped shirt and his blue jeans.

# St. Laurence O'Toole Pipe Band

The St. Laurence O'Toole Pipe Band is a Grade 1 pipe band based in St. Mary's Hospital Campus, Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland. The band was established in 1910, and won the World Pipe Band Championships in 2010.
The band's Pipe Major is Alen Tully and Pipe Sergeant is Brendan Murphy. The lead drummer is Stephen Creighton.

## History

In 1910 a meeting was organised by the St. Laurence O'Toole Gaelic Athletic Association Club in the CBS school, Seville Place, Dublin. The main mover in forming the band was Frank Cahill who was also a founder of the GAA Club and Drama Club. Frank was for many years an Alderman of Dublin Corporation, and later became a member of the new Irish Parliament (Dáil Éireann). Amongst those present at the meeting were Irish republicans Pádraig Pearse, Thomas Clarke, Sean McDermott, Arthur Griffith, Douglas Hyde (later to become the first President of Ireland), and the Irish playwright Seán O'Casey. The band clashed with police at a rally during the Dublin Lock-out of 1913, when leading a group of protesters to Liberty Hall and during the Irish War of Independence the band headquarters were attacked on several occasions by the army. The band ceased any political affiliation after the Irish Civil War, which ended in 1923.
The band won the All Ireland Championships in 1958, and also won two first prizes in Scotland, under the leadership of pipe major John Duggan and drum sergeant Frank Saunders. After a drop in membership, Duggan resigned in 1967 and was not replaced as pipe major, but Tommy Tully was acting pipe major at public engagements, although the band did not compete at this time. During this period the band had been demoted to Grade 3, but won the All Ireland Championships in 1974 and were promoted to Grade 2.
Tommy Tully died in 1984, and his son Terry took over as pipe major, having assumed an increasing role in running of the band in the previous years. In its 75th anniversary in 1985, the band won the Champion of Champions award in Grade 2.
In 1988, the band were again placed second at the Worlds and were subsequently upgraded to Grade 1. In the band's first outing in Grade 1 in 1989, they beat Field Marshal Montgomery into second place.
The band won prizes in Ireland, but not in Scotland in 2002, and in 2004 placed in all five Major championships. In 2008, the band won the Scottish and British Championships, and was runner-up in the European and Cowal Championships and placed 5th overall at the World Championships, winning the Champion of Champions in Grade 1. In 2010, the band's centenary year, the band won the World, European and All-Ireland Championships. Terry's son Alen Tully took over as pipe major for the 2014 season.

# Fiambre

Fiambre is a traditional Guatemalan salad that is prepared and eaten yearly to celebrate the Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) and the All Saints Day (Spanish: Día de Todos los Santos). It is served chilled and may be made with dozens of ingredients.

## History

Fiambre started out from the tradition in Guatemala of taking dead family members their favorite dishes to the cemeteries for the Day of the Dead. As all different families brought food to the celebrations, they became mixed, eventually mixing them together to this all-encompassing salad. Ingredients usually include numerous sausages and cold cuts, pickled baby corn and onion, beets, pacaya flower, different cheeses, olives, chicken, and sometimes even Brussels sprouts.
This dish varies from family to family, recipes traditionally passed on to younger generations. Because of this, on the Day of the Dead, it is customary to share fiambre with other families and relatives.

## Variants

Some variants are:
* Fiambre from Antigua
* Fiambre rojo (with beets)
* Fiambre blanco (no beets)
* Fiambre desarmado (traditional of the department of Jalapa)
* Fiambre verde (no cold cuts, vegetarian)
# Villanuco de Las Encartaciones

The Villanuco de Las Encartaciones (Basque: Enkarterriko Billanuko, Cantabrian: Villanucu) is a Spanish breed of small dog of ratter type. It originates in the comarca of Enkarterri (Spanish: Las Encartaciones) in the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain. It is one of five Basque breeds of dog, the others being the Basque Shepherd Dog, the Erbi Txakur, the Pachón Navarro and the Villano de Las Encartaciones, and one of fourteen animal breeds native to the País Vasco.
It is critically endangered: in 2009 there were fewer than fifty examples.$^{:599}$

## History

The Villanuco originates in the comarca of Enkarterri/Las Encartaciones in Bizkaia, in the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain. It is one of five Basque breeds of dog, the others being the Basque Shepherd Dog or Euskal Artzain Txakurra, the Erbi Txakur, the Pachón de Vitoria and the Villano de Las Encartaciones or Enkarterriko Billano. Of these, all but the Pachón de Vitoria are indigenous to the Basque Autonomous Community, and were recognised as traditional Basque breeds by government decree in 2001.$^{:599}$ It was among the fourteen indigenous animal breeds included in the rural development plan for the País Vasco for 2007–2013.
The Villanuco is critically endangered: in 2009 the total number for the breed was reported to be below fifty. Almost all are in the comarca of Enkarterri/Las Encartaciones – in Artzentales, Balmaseda, Güeñes, Karrantza, Sopuerta and Trucios-Turtzioz.$^{:599}$

## Characteristics

The Villanuco is one of several ratting breeds in Spain. It shows some similarity to the Ca Rater Mallorquí of Mallorca and to the Gos Rater Valencià,$^{:600}$ but is phenotypically less similar to them than they are to each other.
It is a small breed: dogs stand 30–40 cm at the withers, bitches a little less. The skin is fine and close-fitting, and the coat is short, little more than 1 cm long. It is most often black and white or black and tan, less frequently black and cinnamon, white and cinnamon, or tri-coloured; the nose is usually black, but may also be chocolate-coloured. The ears are usually upright.$^{:600}$

## Use

The Villanuco was traditionally used for ratting. It is a good watchdog, alert to the presence of strangers or intruders, and may be kept for that reason or as a companion dog.
