# Lazar Lagin

Lazar Iosifovich Lagin (Russian: Ла́зарь Ио́сифович Лагин), real name Lazar Ginzburg (4 December 1903, Vitebsk – 16 June 1979, Moscow), was a Soviet author of children's and science fiction books.
Lagin is best known for his ever-popular book Starik Hottabych (Старик Хоттабыч, Old Man Hottabych, 1938), a fairy tale telling the story of a genie who is freed from captivity by a Soviet schoolboy. The genie, as is to be expected, has some trouble in adapting to modern life values and technological development. The book was recommended to school libraries by Ministry of general and professional education of Russian Federation; it was made into the film Old Khottabych in 1956.
Lagin's science fiction novels are set in imaginary Western "capitalist" countries and satirize misuse of scientific inventions in bourgeois society. His novella Major Well Andyou (Майор Велл Эндъю) is a satiric sequel to H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds.
Lagin was also a screenplay writer, producing, for instance, the screenplay for the 1967 animation film Passion of Spies.

## Early life

# Shomrim Society

The Shomrim Societies are fraternal organizations of Jewish members of police departments, such as the New York City Police Department and the Chicago Police Department.

## NYPD Shomrim

The first Shomrim Society was established in 1924 with 240 of the 700 Jewish members of the New York Police Department with the approval of New York City Police Commissioner Richard Enright. Lieutenant Jacob Kaminsky was the NYPD Shomrim Society's first president, and the society was announced by Dr. Isidore Frank, the Jewish chaplain of the NYPD. It is rumored that a comment made to a young Kaminski, while on patrol, was the spark that started this fraternal and charitable organization. It was suggested that he might feel more at home with a salami, rather than a nightstick, under his arm. At that time only 1% of the department was Jewish.
Shomrim blossomed in New York during the depression years. Civil service jobs provided the only secure means of making a living in those days. The civil service lists of 1935-37 added 400 new Shomrim members. One of Shomrim's early presidents, Max Finkelstein, became famous in 1938 when he was selected by New York Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia to oversee security for visiting officials from Nazi Germany and to guard the German consulate.
The Shomrim Society is not affiliated with the Shomrim neighborhood watch groups in many Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods.
In 2023, Shomrim Society member Samuel Winsbacher graduated as valedictorian New York Police Department’s training academy.
Today, Shomrim Society members hold many different positions in the NYPD, including almost every rank. The highest ranking uniformed female police officer is a three star chief and she is also the current highest-ranking member of the Shomrim Society.
# Apex, Arizona

Apex was a lumber town on the Grand Canyon Railway situated in Coconino County, Arizona. Founded as company town on a wye on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, the community was dissolved when lumbering activity ceased in 1936.

## Geography

Apex was located near the junction of Forest Service Road 335 and the rail line.

## History

Apex was a company town founded on a spur track of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad in the late 1920s by the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company of Arizona, which built a headquarters for their milling operations. In addition to the headquarters building, the community originally consisted of "seven houses perched on the east slope and seven more and the school on the west, along with two oil tanks and a water tank for the locomotives." There were also several sheds and other buildings used to service the train and support mill operations.
The houses in Apex rested on temporary foundations. The company maintained a commissary.
Men without families would typically live in camps moving with the cutting activity, while families lived in a community at Apex station. The settlement had its own school and telephone service. Many of the workers and their families were from Sweden and Norway. Lumber operations by the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company ended in 1936 and it was abandoned.
Apex School District #3 opened in fall 1929 in a boxcar converted into a one-room schoolhouse. The school at Apex, along with the neighboring one at the mining town of Anita, were at one time the only racially integrated schools in Arizona. The school never exceeded 15 pupils, and closed in spring 1936.
In May 1936, the community was disbanded when logging activities ceased. After removal, the houses were removed, leaving only the foundations. Shacks on boxcars were burned in bonfires. The schoolhouse was one of the last buildings in Apex; it, too, was removed.
Northern Arizona University maintains the Apex, Arizona Archaeology Project, educating the public on life in Apex during the Great Depression.

# Samp

Samp is a food made from dried corn kernels that have been pounded and chopped until broken, but not as finely ground as mealie-meal or mielie rice. The coating around the kernel loosens and is removed during the pounding and stamping process. It is eaten across South Africa and by the Lozi and Tonga people of Zambia with sugar and sour milk. It can also be served with gravy and various additives. It is cooked with beans in the Xhosa variant of umngqusho and sometimes eaten with chakalaka. It can also be served with beef, lamb, poultry and in stuffings.
"Samp" is of Native American origin, coming from the Narragansett word "nasàump." New Englanders since early colonial times have referred to cornmeal mush or cereal as "samp."
Like hominy, samp is prepared from groats (dehulled kernels) of maize, but the two are produced by different processes.
Unbroken and unhusked maize (corn) kernels can also be cooked (boiled) until tender. This food is called "stampmielies" in Afrikaans. Samp is often served with beans, as in "samp and beans".

# 2011 Games of the Small States of Europe

# GURPS Mixed Doubles

GURPS Mixed Doubles is a sourcebook for GURPS.

## Contents

GURPS Mixed Doubles is a collection of characters intended for use with the GURPS role-playing game accessory Supers. Each superhero or supervillain character entry in the book is paired with another one, often with an enemy or a rival, but sometimes with a partner, a relative and, in two cases, lovers.

## Reception

Shane L. Hensley reviewed GURPS Mixed Doubles in White Wolf #35 (March/April, 1993), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "Overall, the characters are original and well fleshed out. Each entry has a detailed history, ways to fit it into a campaign, a discussion of his or her abilities, and battle tactics. If the character is too powerful or too weak for a particular campaign, there is even a power variations section to beef up or tone down the offending super."
