# Wilhelm Keim

Wilhelm Keim (1 December 1934 – 30 September 2018) was a German chemist and professor of chemistry at the Technical Chemistry and former director of the Institute for Technical and Petrol Chemistry at RWTH Aachen in Germany.
Wilhelm Keim was one of the key figures in the development of the SHOP – process (Shell higher olefin process). SHOP-olefines have a broad range of applications in industrial chemistry, e.g. for the modification of polyethylene as ethylene-alpha-olefine-copolymere, as source for synthetic fatty alcohols or olefine sulfonates.
    The first step in Keim's SHOP process is the conversion of ethylene to a mixture of even-numbered α-olefins, which ultimately are converted to surfactants.
He studied chemistry at the Münster and Saarbrücken University. He earned his PhD degree from Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim an der Ruhr, having studied under Karl Ziegler. After several years in the chemical industry he became professor at the RWTH Aachen, where he was the director of the Institute for Technical and Petrol chemistry. He retired in 2001.
Keim has received numerous prestigious honours including member of board of the Degussa AG, member of the board of directors of the GDCh (Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker) till 1996, chairman of the board of the DGMK Deutsche Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Erdöl, Erdgas und Kohle e.V., honorary professor of the technical university in Dalian (China), honorary professor of the university in Hangzhou (China), adjunct professor Dharan King Fahd University (Saudi Arabia), Dr. Honoris Causa Université Lille Nord de France, Dr. Honoris Causa, member of Academia Europaea, and honorary member of the DECHEMA.

# Lincoln Park Jewish Center

The Lincoln Park Jewish Center is a Modern Orthodox synagogue located in 311 Central Park Avenue in the Lincoln Park section of Yonkers, in Westchester County, New York, United States.
The originally Ashkenazi congregation was founded in 1938. Elliott Palais, a former president of the Lincoln Park Jewish Center said that the synagogue building "was designed by Eli Rabineau, the same architect who designed the Grinton I. Will Library in Yonkers and Bet Torah in Mount Kisco."
The Lincoln Park Jewish Center revitalized in the early 21st century by Rabbi Rigoberto Emanuel Viñas, a Cuban-American Jew. According to the New York Times, Viñas attracted a large number of Hispanic Jews to the congregation, including Holocaust survivors who had settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Jews with roots in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Spain. He was particularly noted for performing "ceremonies of return" for anusim.
In early 2017 the synagogue building was sold to Brooklyn congregation Vayetar Yitzchok, after the Lincoln Park Jewish Center's membership declined from 350 to 65 families. Vayetar Yitzchok had about 200 member families and shared a synagogue in Brooklyn with another congregation, according to Lazar Lieberman, Vayetar Yitzchok's rabbi.

# Mathieu de Foix-Comminges

Mathieu de Grailly or Mathieu de Foix (died 1453) was Count of Comminges between 1419 and 1443.
He was the fourth son of Archambaud de Grailly, captal de Buch and Isabella, Countess of Foix.

## Biography

He was knighted in 1413 and became a member of the entourage of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. For his loyalty, King Charles VI of France, allied with Philip the Good Duke of Burgundy, gave him Narbonne, of which he couldn't take possession, because it was under control of Dauphin Charles, then at war with his father and Burgundy.
At that time, he married Marguerite de Comminges, twenty years older than him, an authoritarian woman who allegedly had her second husband killed in prison. Fearing a similar fate, Mathieu had his wife locked up a few months later in the castle of Bramevaque and governed Comminges alone. Following his brother, he defected from the Burgundian camp to King Charles VII of France, who rewarded him by making him governor of the Dauphiné between 1426 and 1428.
After the death of his brother John I, Count of Foix, Matthieu became regent of his nephew Gaston IV and in 1439 he bought off Rodrigo de Villandrando and his raiders to leave the County of Foix. Meanwhile, the unsatisfied people of Comminges petitioned the return of their Countess Marguerite from King Charles VII, who ordered her release. Mathieu refused and transferred his wife to Foix. Again allied with Burgundy, he became a Knight in the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1440. Charles VII put the County of Comminges under guardianship of John IV, Count of Armagnac and in 1441 war broke out between Foix and Armagnac, only interrupted in 1442 by a campaign against the English. After this campaign, Charles VII again ordered the liberation of Marguerite on 17 January 1443 and now, Mathieu was forced to obey. Marguerite was released on 9 March but died shortly after, leaving Comminges to the Crown.
In 1449 Mathieu accompanied Gaston IV to besiege Mauléon. He died 4 years later.

## Marriage and children

On 16 July 1419 he married Marguerite de Comminges (died 1443), no issue.
He remarried, in 1446, Catherine de Coarraze, and had two daughters Jeanne and Marguerite.
Mathieu had also two illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:
* Jean de Foix, Bishop of Dax and Comminges.
* Jeanne Catherine de Foix, married Jean de Château-Verdun

# Women's Rights Recovery Association

The Women's Rights Recovery Association (simplified Chinese: 女子复权会; traditional Chinese: 女子復權會; pinyin: Nǚzǐ fùquán huì) was a Tokyo-based political movement founded in 1907, by anti-Qing members of the Chinese diaspora. It was an anarcha-feminist group, one of the earliest Chinese organizations adhering to anarchism and feminism alike. The Association, which opposed the Qing dynasty and Confucianism, advocated the end of male privileges in traditional Chinese culture, and prohibited female submission to men. Its members were forbidden to become concubines or secondary wives. In return, it promised to help all members in their fight against individual and societal oppression.
Ideologically left-wing, unlike others at the time in China, the Women's Rights Recovery Association identified the cause of women's oppression as the economic systems of feudalism and capitalism, rather than in a perceived weakness in national character and culture. Most of its ideology was formulated by its founder, He-Yin Zhen – a Jiangsu-born anarchist, who had gone into Japanese exile together with her husband Liu Shipei. She also published the newspaper Natural Justice, and contributed to the Paris-based Xin Shiji. Unusually for her time she focused on the exploitation of the class-based exploitation of women, singling out prostitutes, domestic servants and female factory workers as the most oppressed. She condemned the unequal distribution of wealth, and refused to subordinate this women's class struggle to any other ideological cause. Writing that "the goal of equality cannot be achieved except through women's liberation", He-Yin – and the Association – viewed female freedom as something that women must accomplish on their own, since no one would give them their rights. Revolutionary change, not reform, was seen as the only way forward.
While little is known about the exact workings of the Women's Rights Recovery Association, it is probable that the group was dissolved after He-Yin Zhen and her husband left Tokyo in 1909, returning to China.
# Sebastian Leitner

Sebastian Leitner (1919 in Salzburg – 1989) was a German commentator and science popularizer.
As a student in Vienna, he was briefly kept in custody by the Nazis in 1938 because of his opposition to the annexation of Austria into Greater Germany. Later he moved to Frankfurt to study law, but he was recruited by the Wehrmacht in 1942. After spending several years in a Soviet POW camp, he returned to Germany in 1949 and started a career as a commentator. His wife was the Austrian journalist and author Thea Leitner.
At first, he focused on legal and sociological topics, but later he took medical and psychology-related subjects as his theme. His book So lernt man lernen (How to learn to learn), a practical manual on the psychology of learning, became a bestseller. In this often-cited book he described his Leitner System which uses flashcards for accelerated and increased learning by spaced repetition.
