# Walter Taussig

Walter Taussig (February 9, 1908 – July 31, 2003) was an Austrian orchestra conductor. He was born in Vienna, and died in New York, New York, US.
A member of the music staff at the Metropolitan Opera since 1949, Taussig was the company's associate conductor at the time of his death. Taussig was a 1928 graduate of the Music Academy in Vienna, where he studied composition with Franz Schmidt and conducting with Robert Heger. The political climate of Europe in the late 1930s caused Taussig to emigrate to the United States (along with his mother and sister, the acclaimed mathematician Herta Freitag), by way of Havana (where he conducted the Havana Philharmonic).
The conductor worked at the Chicago Opera, the Montreal Opera and San Francisco Opera before being hired by the Met as its assistant chorus master. He established himself as a coach, especially in German repertoire, serving as mentor to several generations of Met singers, from Birgit Nilsson, who called him "the father" of her Elektra, to Plácido Domingo, who coached the role of Parsifal with him, and Deborah Voigt. His principal conducting credits with the Met numbered fewer than a dozen performances, among them La Traviata on the company's 1975 tour of Japan - but in Der Rosenkavalier and in other operas, Taussig was a frequent leader of the Met's offstage instrumentalists, nicknamed "The Taussig Philharmonic" by James Levine.
Taussig was also a coach for Deutsche Grammophon recordings and, beginning in 1964, had an eighteen-year association with the Salzburg Festival as an assistant conductor and coach.
Ira Siff wrote an interview with Maestro Taussig entitled "The Associate" in the April 2001 issue of Opera News.

# R. J. Reynolds (baseball)

Robert James Reynolds (born April 19, 1959) is a former outfielder in Major League Baseball. He played with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates, from 1983 to 1990. He also played in Japan for the Yokohama Taiyo Whales and Kintetsu Buffaloes, from 1991 to 1993.

## Career

Reynolds broke in as a September call-up with the Dodgers in 1983. On September 11, Reynolds' suicide squeeze bunt in the bottom of the ninth inning helped the Dodgers defeat the Atlanta Braves amid the pennant race. The Dodgers finished three games ahead of the second-place Braves.
Reynolds spent 1984 and most of 1985 with the Dodgers, playing in more than half the team's games. On August 31, 1985, just before the trade deadline, the Dodgers obtained third baseman Bill Madlock from the Pirates to shore up their run for the playoffs. Three days later, Reynolds was sent to Pittsburgh (along with Cecil Espy and Sid Bream) as a player to be named later.
Leading off the Pirates 1986 season opener, Reynolds hit a home run off of the New York Mets' Dwight Gooden. He played in all six games of the 1990 NLCS, getting two hits and two walks in ten at-bats as the Pirates fell to the eventual champion Cincinnati Reds.
After the 1990 season, Reynolds did not re-sign with the Pirates or any other Major League team. He played for three years in Japan before retiring at age 34.
In 786 games over eight seasons, Reynolds posted a .267 batting average (605-for-2270) with 288 runs, 35 home runs, 294 RBIs, 109 stolen bases and 190 bases on balls. He finished his career with a .973 fielding percentage playing at all three outfield positions.

# Caroline Hopwood

D. Caroline Hopwood born D. Caroline Skene (1700s – 1801 at the latest) was a British autobiographer and schoolmistress of Leeds.

## Life

Hopwood came from Leeds where her family were Anglicans. Her mother's father was Dr. Law and her mother brought up in Carlisle. Her father was a lieutenant in the army from Scotland. She had an elder sister who she felt her mother thought of as her favourite. The times and places of her life are vague as the oblt record of her life comes from her own autobiography. This was not published until 1801 by her family who survived her. Sho wrote particularly about her own religious concerns. For instance she records that at the age of seven she was "convicted of sin" and in the following year her father died and she recorded that she was "afraid to die".
By 1768 she had married and in that year she left the Presbyterians to join the Methodists even though she initially thought them "low mean people" and after further investigation of their "studied serrmons" and questioning their unsatisfying "Methodist principles she decided that their aim was "outward atonement only". She and Mr Hopwood had two daughters and at some point his business failed to keep them. Caroline opened a school to make money where she taught pastry, needlwork and drawing.
Her religious search saw her read John Woolman's treatise "Some Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes" which he had completed in 1762. The treatise was a well argued argument for the abolition of slavery and in the interim the abandonment of sugar and textile dyes that resulted from slavery. He died in nearby York in 1772. The other significant influence of her religious life was the leading Quaker Edmund Gurney from Norfolk. She heard his preach at the request of her eight-year-old child and then went on to join the Society of Friends.
In 1781 she began her life story which was the same time that she decided to join the Society of Friends despite the disapproval of her Methodist community.
Hopwood died in Leeds and her family arranged for her life story, which she had completed in 1788, to be made into a book that included some of her poems and prose. In 1801 her autobiography was published.

# CJWE-FM

CJWE-FM (88.1 MHz) is a radio station in Calgary, Alberta. Owned by the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society, it broadcasts programming targeting southern Alberta's First Nations communities, including mainstream country music, and specialty shows featuring indigenous music or presented in native languages such as Stoney. It is similar in format to its sister radio network CFWE, which focuses primarily on northern Alberta's First Nations communities.

## History

Following the collapse of the Aboriginal Voices Radio Network (which broadcast on 88.1 MHz in Calgary as CKAV-FM-3), the CRTC pursued new applicants for indigenous radio stations to fill its frequencies. The Aboriginal Multi-Media Society (owner of the indigenous network CFWE) was granted stations in Calgary and Edmonton.
The Calgary station, named CJWE-FM, began testing its signal in April 2018, and officially launched in June. The station features similar programming to its Edmonton-based counterpart CFWE, including a mix of mainstream country music, and specialty programs targeting Southern Alberta's indigenous communities in the Blackfoot, Cree, Nakoda, and T'suutina languages.
In December 2018, the CRTC granted approval for the AMMSA to convert the CFWE rebroadcaster CFWE-FM-2 (Piikani 147) to a rebroadcaster of CJWE, as it would broadcast content of greater relevance to the region.
In May 2022, the CRTC granted approval for the AMMSA to add a new, 100,000-watt rebroadcaster in Lethbridge on 103.5 FM.

# Airborne Laser

An airborne laser (ABL) is a laser system operated from a flying platform, as in the:
* Soviet/Russian Beriev A-60 (1981, active)
* American Boeing YAL-1 (2002-2012, scrapped)
* An American modified NKC-135A unit (1975-1984, in storage.)

## Development

Development of airborne lasers in the United States began with the Airborne Laser Laboratory (ALL) developed at the USAF Weapons Lab (AFWL), now known as Phillips Laboratory, in the late 1970's and early 1980's. The ALL was based on a carbon dioxide gas dynamic laser (GDL), operating at the infrared wavelength of 10.6 microns, and mounted on a modified Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker (NC-135). It was successfully tested, and in 1983 destroyed five AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and a simulated cruise missile (BQM-34).
Of note is that the ALL demonstrated one of the early uses of deformable mirror technology. To compensate for various atmospheric aberrations arising from turbulence and absorption of energy from the beam itself, it was necessary to modify the wavefront of the beam after it emerged from the laser resonator in order to ensure it would arrive at the target as a tightly focused spot.
Subsequent to the Gulf War, in 1996 the Airborne Laser (ABL) program was begun using a Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL), also developed at AFWL in the 1970's and 1980's. The ABL was mounted on a modified Boeing 747. See Boeing YAL-1 for further discussion.

## Functionality

The original ALL, being a relatively long wavelength, sub-megawatt laser, killed its targets via two mechanisms. One was by direct illumination and heating of the guidance sensor of an air-to-air missile, which defeated its tracking system. The other was by heating a cruise missile or similar vehicle to the extent that the fuel tank exploded and destroyed the vehicle. Tracking used a conical scanning technique, which employed the beam of the boresighted high-energy laser to acquire and track the target vehicle via its illuminated infrared return.
The newer ABL had enough energy when fired to vaporize the metal of the missile that it was currently targeting. "It deposits enough heat to laze a hole through it. It's like taking a magnifying glass and burning a hole through a piece of paper, but we do it through metal," said Dr. Keith Truesdell, Phillips Lab chief of the applied laser technology branch. To help with firing, newer ABL systems utilize tracking lasers which have been tested recently in 2007 when the US Missile Defense Agency tested the track illuminator laser (TILL). The TILL is a solid state laser and is a key part of the fire control of the ABL system.

## Issues

Operational costs of an airborne laser are quite high. The projected cost of the ABL program was listed as 5.1 billion USD in 2009 according to the US Department of Defense.
