# Lowell B. Mason

Lowell Blake Mason (July 25, 1893 – July 9, 1983) was the chair of the Federal Trade Commission from January 1, 1949, to May 23, 1950. Mason was the last FTC chair to be selected by the Commissioners, rather than being designated by the President of the United States.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Mason received an LL.B. from Northwestern University in 1916, and gained admission to the bar in Illinois the same year. From about 1916 to 1922, he served as Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Chicago, and from 1922 to 1930, he served in the Illinois Senate, to which he was elected as a Republican. He was elected to the first Illinois State Aviation Commission in 1927, and became General Counsel to the National Industrial Review Board in 1934, and counsel to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee investigating the National Recovery Act the following year. Around 1938, he began to represent the Washington Senators baseball team.
In 1945, President Harry S. Truman appointed Mason to the Federal Trade Commission, where he served until 1956. On June 14, 1954, Mason received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Northwestern University. After leaving the FTC, he practiced law until 1970.
Mason died at Birch Manor Nursing Home in Oak Park, Illinois, at the age of 89.
# Kollerschlag

Kollerschlag is a municipality in the district of Rohrbach in the Austrian state of Upper Austria.
In July 1934, Kollerschlag made headlines with a failed Putsch. After 30 to 40 men from the Austrian Legion approached the border to free the way for 500 fellow fighters who were operating in Bavaria, thirty went to Kollerschlag, where they hoisted a Swastika flag and killed a police officer. After two rebels were killed as well, and at least five others were wounded, the SA troopers hurried back to Bavaria. One of them was Robert Haider, who had fled there after an anti-Jewish action in 1933.
# John Henry Vaughan

John Henry Vaughan MC KC (Fiji) (9 February 1892 – 16 April 1965) was a lawyer and ornithologist who served as Attorney General of Zanzibar and later as Attorney General of Fiji.

# Anse Intendance

Anse Intendance is a beach situated in the southwest coast of Mahé island, Seychelles.

## Location

The beach is situated in the Takamaka district of the island, roughly 30 km from the capital city, Victoria.
To reach Anse Intendance from the West Coast Road, also known as Latanier Road, head south towards the South Coast Road (Route 5) until you reach the Quatre Bornes police station. From the East Coast Road, also known as Grand Anse Road, drive south until you reach the same police junction. From the Quatre Bornes police station, take the 1.7 km concrete road to the beach.

## Flora and fauna

The beach is a significant nesting site for Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata). In 2006, Cyclone Bondo caused severe erosion, destroying nearly 90% of the turtle nests at Intendance.
In 2021, the Marine Conservation Society Seychelles proposed designating Anse Intendance as a protected area on Mahé Island to safeguard hawksbill sea turtles during their nesting season, from September 1 to March 31.

## In media

* In 2018, CNN listed this beach among the best in Seychelles.
* In 2024, The Times listed this beach at number 4 out of the 14 best beaches in Seychelles.
# The Voice of Christmas

The Voice of Christmas: The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook is a two-disc collection of Christmas music recorded by Bing Crosby for the Decca label between 1935 and 1956, released by Universal Music Group on October 6, 1998. Crosby was the first popular singer to record Christmas songs, and his 1942 recording of "White Christmas" for the movie Holiday Inn is the best-selling single of all time. The most prolific period for his Christmas recordings was between 1942 and 1955, including his Christmas songs recorded with The Andrews Sisters. Crosby continued to record Christmas titles for other labels later in his career.

## Content

Most of the tracks included were originally issued on 78 RPM records. This collection contains all of Crosby's Decca label Christmas recordings, including some duplications of titles recorded at different times. The 1947 recording of "White Christmas" is the most played and considered the "standard" version; this re-recording was made due to the acetate of the 1942 version, and its flip side "Silent Night," becoming too degraded in quality to reproduce further copies.
Tracks are presented in loose chronological order, with collaborations appearing in chronological order on disc two from tracks nine through twenty. Two tracks are previously unreleased songs: an alternate version of his original May 29, 1942, recording of "White Christmas"; and a February 21, 1935, recording of "Silent Night." The 1935 version of "Silent Night" was not released due to Crosby's feelings that a popular entertainer should not profit on such a religion-based song; however, once the proceeds were arranged to be donated to charity, a second recording of the song was released as a single in 1935 and was later packaged as part of a 1940 album.

# LaFayette Motors

The LaFayette Motors Corporation was a United States–based automobile manufacturer. Founded in 1919, LaFayette Motors was named in honor of the Marquis de la Fayette, and LaFayette autos had a cameo of the Marquis as their logo.

## History

LaFayette was originally headquartered in Mars Hill, Indianapolis, Indiana, and made luxury motor cars, beginning in 1920. LaFayette innovations include the first electric clock in an auto. However, the V8-powered LaFayette cars had low sales given their price of $5,000 when introduced in 1920, equal to $76,047 today.
In 1921, Charles W. Nash became president of LaFayette. Nash was already president of Nash Motors, but for a time the two brands remained separate companies, although Nash Motors was the principal LaFayette Motors stock holder. The LaFayette was considered a halo marque.
In early 1920s, there was speculation about a merger of Pierce-Arrow with LaFayette, Rolls-Royce, or General Motors. A proposed merger with LaFayette did not occur in 1924. Ultimately, Studebaker took control of Pierce-Arrow in 1928.
In 1922, LaFayette's facilities were moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In 1924, Nash Motors became full owner of LaFayette Motors, and the name was retired soon after. Its factories were quickly put to a new, more profitable use: the manufacture of Ajax motor cars.
In 1934, Nash re-introduced the LaFayette name, this time for a line of smaller, less expensive models. Marketed at as “LaFayette Built By Nash", the cars included some Nash high-end features. They were well-engineered with "conservatively attractive" styling by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. However, sales of the popular-priced cars did not meet expectations due to the general economic situation during the Great Depression.
In 1935, Nash introduced a series known as the "Nash 400" to fill the perceived price gap between the LaFayette and the Nash.
It was determined that this perceived gap was not so important, and that Nash Motors was marketing too many models. The LaFayette and the Nash 400 were combined into a single model called the Nash LaFayette 400 for the 1937 model year. The LaFayette ceased to be regarded as a separate make of car. The base price of $595 (equal to $12,611 today) was competitive to Ford and Plymouth models. The Nash LaFayette 400 featured a 5-inch (127 mm) longer wheelbase compared to the competition and included an advanced I6 engine with seven main bearings, larger brakes than even the Packard 6, as well as a "seamless one-piece all-steel body" which was the precursor to unitized-construction introduced to the mass-market by the 1941 Nash 600. The 400 was available a four-door sedan, two-door Victoria sedan, three- or (with rumble seat) five-passenger coupe, and a three-passenger Cabriolet.
For 1938, the model became simply the "Nash LaFayette", and the LaFayette line continued as Nash's lowest-priced offering through 1940.
For 1941, the LaFayette was replaced by the all-new unibody Nash 600.
# Double Bass Concerto No. 2 (Bottesini)

Double Bass Concerto No. 2 in B Minor is a work for double bass and orchestra by Giovanni Bottesini. The piece runs approximately 20 minutes.

## Background

Double Bass Concerto No. 2 has become one of the most performed works for double bass, dated to 1845 but would not be published until 1925. The composer, having learned bass out of convenience, was heavily inspired by Italian operas and wrote six of his own.
The concerto is composed in the typical romantic style with the orchestra and soloist playing equal rolls, switching between melody and support. The first movement consists of a short introduction, after which the bass takes on a lyrical bel canto style. Bottesini imitates the human voice closely, utilizing both soprano and bass ranges. The second movement is characterized by dramatic, unexpected dynamic changes and the incorporation of the Italian lament style. The third movement is a bravura with an excited temperament.

## Structure

As is typical of concertos, the work contains three movements:
* Allegro
* Andante
* Allegro

# Yate (volcano)

Yate Volcano is a large, glaciated stratovolcano located in the southern Andes, in the Los Lagos Region of Chile, south of the Reloncaví Estuary. Yate lies on the major regional Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone, and is located 10 km north-east of the smaller Hornopiren volcano. The last known eruption occurred in 1090 CE. There are no historical records of recent volcanic activity, but there is strategic evidence of smaller eruptions sometime in the Holocene. The volcano is named after Juan Yates, also known as John Yates, a settler of Puerto Americano who played a significant role in the exploration and colonisation of Patagonia.

## 1965 Landslide and Tsunami

On February 19, 1965 a non-eruptive landslide of ice and rock caused by unusually heavy summer rains slid rapidly into a narrow gully, descended around 1500 meters in elevation, and crashed into Lake Cabrera below. This triggered a tsunami that thundered across the lake and swept through the lakeside community of Lago Cabrera just moments later. There was virtually no warning and the community was caught by surprise. The entire village was destroyed, killing twenty-seven people. It is considered the worst volcano-related loss of life in Chile since the Villarrica eruptions of 1948–1949. The debris field left behind by the tsunami is still visible today, and the people of nearby Hornopirén commemorate the tragedy every year with a pilgrimage to the site and the memorial chapel.

## Future Dangers

With a warming climate, increased rain and increasing glacial meltwater may accelerate edifice collapse. This has potential implications for more landslide hazards in the area of the volcano, and tsunami risks in the lake area.
