# Edward Griffin Parker

Edward Griffin Parker (November 16, 1825 – March 30. 1868) was a United States lawyer, editor and author.
He entered College from Boston, where he was born, and graduated from Yale College in 1847. On graduating studied law in the office of the Hon. Rufus Choate. Being admitted to the bar in 1849, he commenced practice in the same city, where he continued until the war. He was prominent in state politics, and a member of both houses of the Massachusetts Legislature. During his residence in Massachusetts, he published The Golden Age of American Oratory (Boston, 1857), and Reminiscences of Rufus Choate (N. Y, 1860). He was also a contributor to some of the leading literary journals. On the breaking out of the American Civil War, Col. Parker (having acquired his title from his position on the staff of Gov. Nathaniel P. Banks) entered the service as captain on Gen. Butler's staff. Later he was adjutant general and chief of staff of Gen. Martindale during the time that the latter commanded the Department of Washington. At the close of the war he settled in New York, and went into business in Wall St. Not being particularly successful, he took charge of the American Literary Bureau of Reference, and was thus engaged at the time of his death, at the Everett House in New York City, March 30, 1868, aged 42 years. He left a wife.

# Perilous Pond

The Perilous Pond, sometimes spelt Perelous, was an ancient pond fed by a spring in London located near the junction of modern-day Old Street and City Road. It gained its name from many tragic drownings there of people using it as a swimming hole. It was also used by fishermen and wildfowlers .
In 1743 the pond was purchased by William Kemp, a jeweller, who developed it by enclosing it in stone edging and adding marble steps and a gravel bottom. He built a separate pond for fishing and renamed the site the more enticing Peerless Pool. The grounds were screened by trees and the pool was used as an ice rink in winter. Kemp imposed an annual admission charge of £1 10s. (or 1s. for day visitors). The pool was 170 ft long x 108 ft wide and from 3–5 feet deep. It was London's first outdoor public swimming pool.
From 1790 there was also a small library and a bowling green attached.
Around 1805, the lease was acquired by Joseph Watts, who drained the fish pond and constructed Baldwin Street on that part of the site. The business provided the family with a comfortable living. Richard Garnett mentions that his colleague Thomas Watts (1811-1869), "keeper of printed books at the British Museum" (i.e. what would now be a senior position at the British Library), had his education paid for by the profits from the family business.
William Hone, the satirist, visited the pool in 1826 and described it thus:-
   “Trees enough remain to shade the visitor from the heat of the sun on the brink. On a summer evening it is amusing to survey the conduct of the bathers; some boldly dive, others timorous stand and then descend step by step, unwilling and slow; choice swimmers attract attention by divings and somersets, and the whole sheet of water sometimes rings with merriment. Every fine Thursday and Saturday afternoon in the summer columns of Bluecoat boys, more than a score in each, headed by their respective beadles, arrive and some half strip themselves ‘ere they reach their destination. The rapid plunges they make into the Pool and their hilarity in the bath testify their enjoyment of the tepid fluid.”
The pool was closed in 1850 and built over. Its gives its name to the nearby Peerless Street and Bath Street and obliquely to the Old Fountain public house.

# Astrid Schirmer

Astrid Schirmer (born 8 November 1942) is a German operatic soprano and an academic teacher. She sang mostly dramatic roles at major German opera houses and appeared at the Bayreuth Festival.

## Career

Schirmer studied voice at the Musikhochschule Berlin with Johanna Rakow and Elisabeth Grümmer. She made her debut at the Landestheater Coburg in 1967 as Senta in Wagner's Der fliegende Holländer. She was a member of the Staatsoper Hannover, the Essen Opera and the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
Her roles were mostly leading roles as a dramatic soprano, such as Leonore in Beethoven's Fidelio and Wagner's Sieglinde in Die Walküre, Brünnhilde in Siegfried, and both Elisabeth and Venus in Tannhäuser. She also appeared in Verdi operas, in the title role of Aida, as Amelia in Un ballo in maschera, and as Leonore in La forza del destino. She performed the title roles of Ariadne auf Naxos and Arabella by Richard Strauss, and of Puccini's Tosca and Turandot. At the Staatsoper Hannover, she appeared as Miss Wingrave in Britten's Owen Wingrave, conducted by George Alexander Albrecht, with Gerhard Faulstich in the title role. A versatile singer, she also appeared as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni, Santuzza in Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana, Bess in Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, and Lady Billows in Britten's Albert Herring. She also sang concerts and oratorios.
Schirmer sang as a guest at major opera houses in Germany such as the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Oper Frankfurt, the Cologne Opera and the Stuttgart State Opera. She performed at the Teatro Liceo in Barcelona and the Opernhaus Zürich.
She appeared at the Bayreuth Festival, in 1977 as Ortlinde in Wagner's Die Walküre, and in 1978 in the same work in the leading part of Sieglinde. Both performances were part of the production Jahrhundertring, staged by Patrice Chéreau and conducted by Pierre Boulez.

### Personal life

Schirmer is married to the conductor Carl von Pfeil; their son Alexander von Pfeil became an opera director.
# LZX

LZX is an LZ77 family compression algorithm, a slightly improved version of DEFLATE. It is also the name of a file archiver with the same name. Both were invented by Jonathan Forbes and Tomi Poutanen in the 1990s.

## Instances of use of the LZX algorithm
### Amiga LZX

LZX was publicly released as an Amiga file archiver in 1995, while the authors were studying at the University of Waterloo in Canada. The software was shareware, which was common for compression software at the time. The registered version contained fixes and improvements that were not available in the evaluation version. In 1997, the authors gave away a free keyfile, which allowed anyone to use the registered version, as they had stopped work on the archiver and stopped accepting registrations.

### Microsoft Cabinet files

In 1996, Forbes went to work for Microsoft, and Microsoft's cabinet archiver was enhanced to include the LZX compression method. Improvements included a variable search window size; Amiga LZX was fixed to 64 KB, and Microsoft LZX could range on powers of two between 32 and 2048 kilobytes (32,768 to 2,097,152 bytes). A special preprocessor was added to detect Intel 80x86 "CALL" instructions, converting their operands from relative addressing to absolute addressing, thus calls to the same location resulted in repeated strings that the compressor could match, improving compression of 80x86 binary code. (This technique is later generalized as Branch-Call-Jump [BCJ] filtering.)

### Microsoft Compressed HTML Help (CHM) files

When Microsoft introduced Microsoft Compressed HTML Help, the replacement for their classic Help file format, they chose to compress all of the HTML data with the LZX algorithm. However, in order to improve random access speed, the compressor was altered to reset itself after every 64 kilobyte (65,536 bytes) interval and re-align to a 16-bit boundary after every 32 kilobyte interval. Thus, the HTMLHelp software could immediately seek the nearest 64 kilobyte interval and start decoding from there, rather than decoding from the beginning of the compressed datastream at all times.

### Microsoft Reader (LIT) files

Microsoft LIT files for Microsoft Reader are simply an extension of the CHM file format, and thus also use LZX compression.

### Windows Imaging Format (WIM) files

Windows Imaging Format, the installation/drive image file format of Windows Vista and Windows 7, uses LZX as one of the compression methods.

### CompactOS NTFS file compression

In Windows 10, LZX compression from Windows Imaging Format is used for the new CompactOS NTFS file compression.

### Xbox Live Avatars

Microsoft uses LZX compression on Xbox Live Avatars to reduce their disk and bandwidth requirements.

## Decompressing LZX files

The unlzx program and XAD can unpack Amiga LZX archives. The cabextract program can unpack Microsoft cabinet files using the LZX method. There are a multitude of cross-platform tools for decompiling or viewing CHM files, as stated in the CHM article. LIT files can be unpacked using the Convert LIT software.
# Ward V. Tolbert

Ward Vanderhoof Tolbert (April 28, 1877 – April 11, 1946) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

He taught school in 1898, and in 1899 he was deputy sheriff of Schuyler County. He graduated from the University of Rochester with an A.B. in 1902 and from Columbia Law School with an LL.B. in 1905. He was admitted to the bar in 1904, and after receiving his law degree he joined the law firm Wilder & Anderson in New York City, later known as Wilder, Ewen & Patterson. After Wilder died in 1925, the firm became Tobert, Ewen & Patterson. Tolbert was the senior member of the firm, working with John Ewen and William M. Patterson. He specialized in corporate and tax law, and was retained as counsel by a number of business organizations, including the H. Clay Glover Co., which he was also a director of. He was also president of N. B. Investment Corps. and Delas Investment Corp., vice president and a director of the Frances Investment Corp., and a director of several real estate companies.

In 1906, he married Edith Laura Williams of Rochester. They had a daughter, Kathryn.
Tolbert died at home on April 11, 1946. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.
# Log area ratio

Log area ratios (LAR) can be used to represent reflection coefficients (another form for linear prediction coefficients) for transmission over a channel. While not as efficient as line spectral pairs (LSPs), log area ratios are much simpler to compute. Let $r_{k}$ be the kth reflection coefficient of a filter, the kth LAR is:
    $A_{k}=\log {1-r_{k} \over 1+r_{k}}$
Use of Log Area Ratios have now been mostly replaced by Line Spectral Pairs, but older codecs, such as GSM-FR use LARs.
# Viggo Jensen (footballer, born 1921)

Hans Viggo Jensen (29 March 1921 – 30 November 2005), known simply as Viggo Jensen, was a Danish football (soccer) player in the midfielder position, who played professionally for English club Hull City from 1949 to 1956. He started his playing career with Danish amateur team Esbjerg fB. Jensen played 15 games and scored one goal for the Denmark national football team and won a bronze medal for Denmark at the 1948 Summer Olympics.

## Biography

Jensen was born in Skagen, but made his senior level break-through with Danish club Esbjerg fB in the amateur-only Danish football. He made his debut for Esbjerg in September 1939, and played at least 195 official games for the club until 1948, including 68 games in the Danish top-flight championship from 1941 to 1945. Viggo Jensen was a physically strong player with a great fitness and tackling ability, as well as flair and technique.
Jensen got his international debut in June 1945, and was a part of the amateur-only Danish national team until October 1948. He was one of only a few players from outside the Copenhagen area able to force his way into the national team, and was most often the only provincial player in the starting line-up. Jensen's versatility saw him deployed in a number of positions for the national team, as injury or bad form among his teammates dictated, though usually as a wing half back. According to then-captain of the national team, Knud Lundberg, Jensen's best position was as central half back, a position he was only allowed to play once for Denmark; leading the team to an 8-0 win against the Poland national football team. Following the game, Jensen was criticized by the Danish Football Association for successfully dribbling and passing the ball to his teammates instead of doing as he had been instructed; to hoof the ball away whenever he came under pressure. Even though Esbjerg were demoted to the Danish 2nd Division in 1945, Jensen kept his place in the national team squad, and was the only player from a non-Copenhagen team selected to represent his country at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London. Here he filled in for injured Poul Petersen as right full back, and played all four games as Denmark won bronze medals.
After the London Olympics, Jensen moved to play for English 2nd Division team Hull City from October 1948 to November 1956, appearing in 308 Football League matches and scoring 51 goals. Jensen played the two first years as an amateur, before signing a professional contract with the club. His early appearances were at inside-right, but he demonstrated great versatility, playing in every outfield position except on the wings. His later appearances were mainly as a left-back.
In December 1956, he returned to Denmark to coach Esbjerg fB, and he later coached lower-league team Varde Boldklub. Upon his return to Denmark, he worked 23 years at the Esbjerg public power plant.
