# Sydney Smith (composer)

Sydney Smith (14 July 1839 – 3 March 1889) was an English pianist and composer in Victorian England.

## Life

Born in Dorchester, Dorset, Smith grew up in a family of musicians. His father, Fredrick William Sydney Smith (married to Helen Boyton), was the head of a music school and often gave concerts with his two sons Sydney and Boyton. Smith studied piano in Leipzig with Ignaz Moscheles and Louis Plaidy, cello with Friedrich Grützmacher, and composition with Julius Rietz. He returned to England in 1858, settling the following year in London, where he married Annie Birch and remained until his death, highly regarded as a teacher and composer. He died due to an illness and spent all his wealth in an attempt to fix it. He composed or transcribed about 400 works for the piano. These were extremely popular in salons in England in the 19th century, particularly the early works. Many pieces were issued both as solo pieces and as piano duets.

## Music

Smith's earliest compositions are piano accompaniments to three concertina pieces by Richard Blagrove. Apart from these, he composed only for solo piano until the last years of his life, when he also wrote a small handful of songs.
Amongst his best known works are
* Tarantelle brillante, Op. 8
* La Harpe aeolienne, Op. 11
* Lily of the Valley, Op. 14
* Le Jet d'eau, Op. 17
* Gaîeté de coeur, Op. 24
* Chanson russe, Op. 31
* The Fairy Queen, Op. 42
* I Puritani, Op. 85
Le Jet d'eau was used as the theme for The Foley Family, a drama serial about the comic lives of a Dublin family, which ran on Radio Éireann (the former name of the Irish national radio service) from 1952 to the late 1960s. It was written by David Hayes and starred George Green and Peg Monaghan.
He wrote many other morceaux de salon for piano solo and made many arrangements from popular operas. In addition to the works published under his own name, he also published a number of piano works under the names Paul Beaumont and Victor Delacour.
# Deworski Odom

Deworski Odom (born April 11, 1977) is a former American sprinter who specialized in the 100 metres. As a 17-year-old, he won a bronze medal in the 100 metres at the 1994 World Junior Championships, surpassing Henry Thomas's World Youth Best over this distance.
Odom was born in Cordele, Georgia, to Lessie Odom, then 16. When he was 4 years old, he moved with family to Philadelphia. He began running as a sixth-grader at Shoemaker Middle School. He later attended Overbrook High School. In the 1995 National Scholastic Indoor Track and Field Championships in Syracuse, New York, Odom set three national records.
Although recruited by every major track program in the United States, Odom did not meet the academic requirements to attend college. He went to Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, Alabama, where his career derailed. He eventually attended St. Augustine's University in Raleigh, North Carolina, for one season before turning professional.

# Markarian 876

Markarian 876 (Mrk 876) known as PG 1613+658, is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation of Draco. With a velocity relative to the cosmic microwave background of 36,302 ± 60 kilometers per seconds, the galaxy is located 1.75 billion light years from Earth. It is a Seyfert galaxy.

## Characteristics

Markarian 876 is classified as a large galaxy with a distorted morphology. It has tidal tails extending out from the galaxy by more than 50 arcsecs or 85 kiloparsecs (kpc). The structure of the galaxy appears lopsided and complicated with a secondary nucleus or knot of light located 1.6 arcsec west of the main nucleus. A barred spiral galaxy companion is found lying at the same redshift, indicating the peculiar structure in Markarian 876 might be directly caused by a strong gravitational interaction with the object. However the companion galaxy is located 23 arcsecs north and doesn't seem to tidally connect with Markarian 876, therefore the latter's distorted morphology is likely caused by a galaxy merger.
The mass of the black hole in the center of Markarian 876 is estimated to be (2.2 ± 1.0) x 10$^8$ M$_ʘ$ based on an optical reverberation campaign.
An emission line is found connected with the source of the galaxy with a rest-frame energy of 4.80$^{+0.05}$$_{-0.04}$ keV.
# Democracy at Home Party

The Democracy at Home Party (Romanian: Partidul Democrația Acasă) or Democracy at Home Political Party (Partidul Politic Democrația Acasă; PPDA) is a populist political party in the Republic of Moldova.

## History

The Democracy at Home Party was established on 31 July 2011, but it was officially registered on 2 September. It is the legal successor of the "Democracy at Home" Youth Movement (Mișcărea de Tineret "Democrația Acasă"). Its president is Vasile Costiuc and it is a party with a populist ideology. It is also a "syndicalist" party, meaning that it supports the unification of Moldova and Romania.
The party participated in the 2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, obtaining the 11th place with a total of 4,463 (0.32%) votes. This represented an increase of 0.17% from the 2014 Moldovan parliamentary election, but this was not enough to exceed the minimum of 6% of the votes to enter the Parliament of Moldova. Its slogan during this election was #FărăFoști.
The PPDA was part of the Mișcarea Politică Unirea (MPU), a political party established on 15 January 2020 to unite Moldova with Romania together with four other Moldovan political parties. At the time of its establishment, Costiuc declared that this was the first step towards "the constitution of a large movement, with national support" and that its aim was "to stop the expansionism of the Russian Empire". The MPU participated in the 2020 Moldovan presidential election through its candidate Dorin Chirtoacă. However, on 30 April 2021, the PPDA left the coalition composing the MPU as Costiuc considered the trajectories and objectives of both were not the same.

# Nuremberg Mahzor

The Nuremberg Mahzor is a 14th-century manuscript of the siddur according to the 'Eastern' Ashkenazi rite. Written in 1331, the ornamental manuscript includes the Jewish services for all occasions throughout the year, together with commentaries (in the margins) which have never been published.
The manuscript was written on parchment and, at 20 inches high by 14 inches wide, and weighing more than 57 pounds (26 kilograms), is one of the largest and heaviest codices to have survived anywhere. It contains 521 folios.
The illuminated Nuremberg Mahzor contains prayers and piyyutim for the whole year according to the Eastern Ashkenazi (Austrian) rite, the five Megillot and the Haftarot.
The Nuremberg Mahzor got its name from its home for more than 300 years – the Nuremberg municipal library in Germany.
The manuscript was originally commissioned for private study and synagogue use by a Jewish patron, probably in Regensburg. Its early history is not known. From the middle of the 17th century until 1951 the manuscript was in the possession of the Nuremberg Municipal Library.
In 1951, Salman Schocken, a German-Jewish publisher and book collector, purchased the Nuremberg Mahzor and brought it to Israel. The Nuremberg municipality used the money paid for the manuscript to replenish its municipal library after World War II. Since then it was stored for 50 years in the Schocken Institute for Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. During that time it went only once on public display. In 2007 the manuscript was purchased by the private collector Dr. David Jeselsohn, Zurich.
In the 19th century, 11 leaves were removed from the prayer book, probably for sale. Modern scholarship does not follow the 19th century assumption that soldiers from Napoleon’s army committed the theft. Schocken acquired four of the missing leaves in the 1930s after he fled Nazi Germany. One leaf, who was in a private collection, has been purchased by Jeselsohn in 2010. Six leaves are still missing.
Immediately after the purchase of the Nuremberg Mahzor by Dr. Jeselsohn, the whole book has been scanned by the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem. and after a six-months restoration at the Israel Museum laboratories it went on display at the Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book in Jerusalem from September 2009 through February 2010.
Thereafter it became part of the permanent exhibits of the Israel Museum until 2023, when a court decided against the Israel Antiquities Authority that the Mahzor must be returned to its owner outside Israel.

## Style and importance

The Nuremberg Mahzor is described as a "unique cultural object from the Middle Ages". It was written in calligraphic script by a scribe who is assumed to be a professional artist. The style of illumination is that of the Upper Rhine valley.
