# Nils August Johanson

Nils August Johanson (1872–1946) was a Swedish-born American surgeon, who founded the Swedish Medical Center, the largest nonprofit health provider in the greater Seattle area.

## Biography

Nils August Johanson was born in Lund, Sweden. Johanson immigrated to the United States from Sweden in 1893. He enrolled in the University of Denver and completed his medical degree in 1903. He subsequently moved to the Pacific Northwest, first to Tacoma then to Seattle in 1907. In 1908, a group of 10 area businessmen joined Johanson in signing incorporation papers for Swedish Hospital. The hospital's incorporation papers stipulated that only Swedish Americans could be trustees, a requirement that would remain in place until 1967. Dr. Johanson led the hospital until the mid-1940s. As of 2014, the Swedish Medical Center operates five hospital campuses and a network of more than 100 primary-care and specialty clinics, 9,450 employees and 6,023 credentialed physicians.
Dr. Johanson was married to Katharine Brown (1876-1944). Dr. Johanson died on 7 March 1946 in Seattle. Their only daughter, Katharine "Kitty" Johanson, married Elmer Nordstrom (1904–1993), co-president of Nordstrom and they had two sons: James Nordstrom and John Nordstrom.

# Philo D. Beckwith

P.D. (Philo D.) Beckwith (1835–1889) was the founder of Round Oak Stove Company (later officially known as the Estate of P.D. Beckwith Inc.) and Mayor of Dowagiac, Michigan.
Born in 1835 in New York City, Philo D. Beckwith settled in Dowagiac, Michigan in 1854 and opened a foundry. His experiments with heating stoves in the 1860s led to the reshaping of his foundry business from the roller grain drill to the heating stove. Beckwith cast his first stove around 1867 to heat his struggling foundry and shortly after, the Michigan Central Railroad ordered the heaters for its depots between Detroit and Chicago. By 1871, Beckwith had made heating stoves his primary product (though he would continue manufacturing grain drills until his death) and the Round Oak Stove Company was born.
Beckwith's company provided relatively high wages for the times and the, then, nearly unheard of benefit of sick pay. The town was, as a result, relatively insulated from the labor struggles occurring in the larger cities at the time.
Beckwith, was a committed freethinker who wanted to "make the townsfolk aware and appreciative of those his personal pantheon of heroes and heroines whom he considered to be the true benefactors of the human race".$^1$ The theater busts included (extraordinary for the times) women and freethinkers such as Thomas Paine, Robert Ingersoll, Walt Whitman, Victor Hugo, George Sand and Voltaire among others.$^2$
The company expanded and Beckwith became a very popular man in town. He served as mayor for much of the 1880s and he invested a great deal of money and energy into various philanthropic activities. Beckwith died in January 1889 at the age of 54, leaving the management of the firm to his son-in-law, Fred E. Lee.
Round Oak Stove Company officially became the Estate of P.D. Beckwith Incorporated after Beckwith’s death and continued expanding into the early 1900s. The company added new products, like furnaces and cooking stoves, and Round Oak produced a wide array of advertising materials. The success of the firm can be attributed to solid products and quality advertising.
Round Oak stayed strong into the 1920s and survived the Great Depression, though greatly damaged. World War II government contracts helped the company stave off elimination, but once the war ended, Round Oak was a troubled company. In 1947, the company sold its buildings to Kaizer-Frazer for the production of automobile engine parts and the Round Oak name was sold to Peerless Furnace, which continued to make repair parts for furnaces and stoves. A Round Oak comeback in Dowagiac in the early 1950s was short lived and Round Oak was left to history.
Today, Beckwith Estate or "Round Oak" Stoves are widely sought after collectibles.

# Poulsbo Bread

Poulsbo Bread is the name of a proprietary variety of multigrain bread that originated in Poulsbo, Washington, United States, in the 1970s, and which was distributed internationally until the 2000s. The creation of the bread was inspired by a Bible passage. As of 2018 it is sold only at a single retail location in Poulsbo.

## History

Poulsbo Bread was developed by Marion Sluys, the owner of Sluys' Bakery in Poulsbo, from a biblical recipe. In 1974, after reading a passage in the Book of Ezekiel directing the baking of a specific type of multigrain bread, Sluys claims he decided to attempt to prepare the recipe in his Poulsbo bakery, naming the resulting product Poulsbo Bread. The passage in question, Ezekiel 4:9, reads:
   Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
According to Sluys' Bakery, the bread was licensed to Franz Family Bakeries in the early 1980s for national and international distribution, with the license terms requiring Ezekiel 4:9 be imprinted on all packaging. In 2011, Franz discontinued mass production of Poulsbo Bread due to lagging demand for the product, however, as of 2018 the bread continues to be hand-mixed at Sluys' Bakery for local sale. Sluys' Bakery produces Poulsbo Bread in three varieties: regular, dark, and raisin.

## Reception

The bread has been variously described as "famous" and "world famous". According to Sea Magazine, Poulsbo Bread is the "best-known concoction" of Sluys' Bakery, and few boaters visiting Poulsbo leave the town "without carrying home a loaf or two". In 2008, a student of Libby High School in Libby, Montana, credited his decision to move to Kitsap County and attend Olympic College on an athletic scholarship to his affinity for Poulsbo Bread, saying he regularly purchased the product at his local grocery store and, after reading a description of the town of Poulsbo on the packaging of the bread, thought "it would be a cool place to live".
# Giuseppe Recco

Giuseppe Recco (1634 – 29 May 1695) was an Italian painter in the Baroque style. He specialized in a variety of still lifes.

## Career

Born in Naples, he likely apprenticed with his family, including his father Giacomo Recco and uncle Giovanni Battista Recco. Later, he perfected his technique with Paolo Porpora, who had been one of his father's students. During a stay in Lombardy, from 1644 to 1654 with his uncle, he was influenced by the works of Evaristo Baschenis.
As his fame spread, he was invited to come to Spain by King Charles II. His assemblies of victuals, both vegetable and animal, were very popular there. His style is often compared to that of Giovan Battista Ruoppolo, who was also a student of Porpora. Early in his career, he went from painting flowers to more varied assemblies and was among the first Italian painters to do so.
Recco may have died at Alicante, Spain, before reaching Madrid, although contemporary sources indicate that he lived there for seven years and became a Knight in the Order of Calatrava.
His children Nicolo and Elena also became painters. In 1989, the art historian, Federico Zeri, raised questions concerning his father's true identity.

In mid-1862, Milton returned home on sick leave, resigned his command, and re-enlisted in the Ninety-seventh Regiment as lieutenant colonel. He was twice wounded severely, and mustered out June, 1865.
In 1867 and 1869 Barnes was elected prosecuting attorney of Guernsey County. In 1876 the Republican Party nominated him for Ohio Secretary of State, and he defeated William Bell Jr. in the general election. He won re-election with a plurality over David R. Paige and two others in 1878, and did not run again.

# Soft Focus (novel)

Soft Focus is a contemporary romance written by Jayne Ann Krentz. It was released in hardcover by Putnam on January 3, 2000, and reached number 12 on The New York Times Best Seller list.

## Background

Jayne Ann Krentz is a prolific author, releasing books under three pseudonyms. As Amanda Quick, she writes historical romance; as Jayne Castle she writes paranormal romance, and under her own name she releases contemporary romance novels. Krentz sold her first novel in 1979, and since then writes between two and four novels a year. Soft Focus was published in hardcover on January 3, 2000, by Putnam and released in paperback later that year. It was also a Doubleday Book Club selection.

## Plot summary

The heroine, Elizabeth Cabot, is the head of a venture capital firm. She begins a relationship with Jack Fairfax, who specializes in turning around failing businesses. After a single night together, she learns information that turns her against him, and she ends the relationship. Six months later, they are forced to work together when a new product is stolen from a company in which she has invested, that Jack is attempting to bring back to profitability.
Together, they trail the thief to a film noir festival in Colorado. As they work to solve the mystery, they fall in love.

## Themes

Critic Erin Young believes this novel, along with Krentz's other novels Flash and Sharp Edges, are carving out a new subgenre of the romance novel, the corporate romance. In these works, the hero and heroine are professional equals. In Soft Focus, the protagonists each own their own successful companies. Unlike in many earlier contemporary romance novels, the central conflict is a battle for control of work-related endeavors. They form a partnership not because they like each other, but because they cannot achieve their professional goals alone.
As in Flash, Krentz uses the theme of family ties helping to ease business life. Unlike in Flash, heroine Elizabeth is not working directly with her family members, yet her secretary Louise is described as such a close friend that she is family-like. Louise uses her personal connections to help Elizabeth and Jack enter a closed location, so that they could pursue their business goals. This reiterates Krentz's frequent plot point that family, or those considered so, can be an asset at work.
The novel is partially set at a film noir festival. Krentz brings this theme through the novel. The book references many classic noir films, and the plotting essentially puts the characters in a real film noir situation.

## Reception

Romantic Times named Soft Focus one of its Top Picks, giving it a 4.5 out 5 of star rating. Reviewer Jill Smith praised the "immensely entertaining" novel for its unique settings. A review in Kirkus criticized the underlying mystery plotline but praised the "flirtatious banter and steamy sex" as well as the characterization of the hero and heroine.
The novel reached number 12 on the New York Times Bestseller list for hardback fiction and number 15 on the New York Times Bestseller list for paperbacks in November 2000.
