# Thomas Howe Scanlan

Thomas Howe Scanlan (November 10, 1832 – July 9, 1906) was a mayor of Houston, Texas. He supported the Union during Reconstruction, and was installed as an alderman and mayor during that period. As well as investing in real estate, he owned stakes in local companies, including rail transportation and utilities.

## Early life and family

Thomas Howe Scanlan was born on November 10, 1832, in Castle Mahon, County Limerick, Ireland. He moved to New York at the age of seven. Scanlan married Harmena Ebert on April 28, 1861. They raised seven daughters who survived into adulthood.

## Career

Scanlan moved to Houston to work as a merchant in 1853.
Scanlan joined the Republican Party at the dawn of Reconstruction, then two years later, accepted a position on Houston City Council representing the Third Ward. The Reconstruction Governor appointed him mayor of Houston in 1870. After collecting opinions among financiers regarding Houston's good credit standing, Scanlan recommended issuing more bonds for capital projects, such as for paving, drainage, and a new city hall complex. He characterized his own approach to public spending as prioritizing function over aesthetics, and evaluated many materials and processes to street improvement. However, his critics noted the extravagant design and cost of the Houston building housing city hall, the market house, and theater.
Scanlan advocated for the purchase of lands for three parks, later indebting the city by constructing a City Hall and Market House in 1872.
Scanlan invested in rail ventures, including the Texas Western Railroad and an early streetcar enterprise, the Bayou City Street Railway Company. His business activities included utility companies, such as the Houston Water Works Company and the Houston Gas Company, where he served as Vice-President. He was Houston Postmaster General from 1875 through 1879.

## Death and legacy

Scanlan died in Chicago on July 9, 1906. He is interred at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston.
The Scanlan Building, a NRHP-listed property in Downtown Houston, is located on land he purchased in 1865. His seven surviving daughters hired Daniel Burnham to design the building and named it in their father’s honor. They donated proceeds from the building to charities. One of his surviving daughters, Lillian, established the Scanlan Foundation upon her death in 1947. Catholic institutions were the beneficiaries of the foundation.

# Vitja (band)

Vitja was a German metalcore band with members from Münster and Cologne, formed in 2013. Vitja is Russian for Viktor, which means winner, but according to the band, the sound and aesthetics of the word were key to the naming. The band later disbanded in 2022.

## Biography

The group was formed in 2013 by former musicians from the bands Disposed to Mirth, Shake the Pagoda Tree, Progress Utopia and Myterror. The group quickly got a recording contract with Redfield Records, which resulted in the debut album Echoes was released. Vitja played in August 2013 as a substitute for Silent Screams on the For Those About to Mosh Tour with Martyr Defiled. In July and August 2014, Vitja toured several places in Europe supporting Texas in July and Iwrestledabearonce.
In February and March 2015 the band played a German tour supporting Annisokay and Callejon. The band has been confirmed for Summer Breeze and Vainstream in summer 2015.
On 6 February 2015, the group's first EP, Your Kingdom, was released via Redfield Records.
In 2017 they supported Emil Bulls on their tour. In the same year her album Digital love was released, which represented a change in style towards more melodic Metalcore with a higher proportion of clear vocals.
The following year Vitja's next album Mistaken was released. However, very shortly after the release, the band canceled their planned "Mistaken" tour and kept quiet about the reasons for several months until May 2019 when a new singer was presented with the release of the latest single "Back". Singer David Beule, founding member of the band, had been replaced by Gabriel Spigolon, who like him performs the metal band's guttural vocals.
The band finally broke up in April 2022. The main reason given is the lack of a common basis after many years of change.

## Musical style

The interviewer at Dearly Demented attributed the group to the metalcore scene, but also to the djent scene. Andreas Kuhlmann of the Ox-Fanzine describes the music as comparable to Veil of Maya and Volumes. Rock Hard magazine's Volkmar Weber describes Vitja as one of many "Metalcore/Djent hybrids".

# World Latin Dance Champions

This page lists the official World Champions – Professional Latin of the World Dance Council (WDC). The championships are authorized and organized under the auspices of the WDC, and held annually in the last quarter of each year. The competition comprises five dances: Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive, as defined in ballroom dancing terms.
Official World Championships have been held in the Latin section of ballroom dancing since they were organised by the ICBD in 1959. The ICBD was renamed WD&DSC and has been renamed again to its present title. The WDC represents all the major professional DanceSport countries. Unofficial world championships were held, usually in Paris, by several organisers pre-World War II. Some of these events included one or two Latin dances in the same competition as ballroom dances. As these events had no official standing, they are not noticed here. There is one earlier international Latin dance championship; it started in 1953 at the Elsa Wells International Dance Championships in London (see International Latin American Dance Champions). Both series have continued annually.
