# András Fejér

András Fejér (born 1955) is a Hungarian cellist. He is a member of the Takács Quartet, having founded it with three classmates at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest in 1975.
He was born into a musical family and became familiar with the chamber music repertoire at an early age, as his parents would spend the weekends playing music with their friends. András himself began playing the cello at age seven, and legend has it that he originally wanted to play violin, but his father, unwilling to listen to the terrible scratching sounds produced by beginning violinists, forbade it.
In 1974, he entered the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, where he studied with Ede Banda, András Mihály, Ferenc Rados and György Kurtág. Notably, he studied Bartok’s music with the violinist Zoltán Székely, to whom Bartok dedicated his Second Violin Concerto. In 1982, he and his colleagues in the Takács Quartet moved to Boulder, Colorado and took up the position of quartet-in-residence at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Delicate Edible Birds is a short story collection written by Lauren Groff. Groff was born and raised in Cooperstown, New York, home of American writers James Fenimore Cooper and W. W. Lord. Several of the stories take place in Upstate New York. Before its release, Groff had also authored a best-selling novel, The Monsters of Templeton.

## Summary

The anthology comprises nine dramatic stories, taken together, spanning a century. In each story, a slice of life of various American women is revealed.
* "Lucky Chow Fun" takes place in the mythical Templeton (Cooperstown, New York), the setting of her first novel. In this tale, seventeen-year-old Lollie hopes to leave for college without looking back, but sinister events end up causing her to fear for the safety of her little sister and the future of her once-safe little town.
* "L. Debard and Aliette" is a crafty re-telling of the story of Abelard and Héloïse in New York amidst the 1918 flu pandemic.
* "Majorette" is a story of a young woman's personal growth in Hershey, Pennsylvania and the events that make her more worldly and the father and grandfather that always hold their little girl in deep affection.
* "Blythe" is the story of a bored, introverted Philadelphia attorney who has turned into a stay-at-home mom whose life changes when she takes a night class and meets an extroverted and eccentric woman who draws her out.
* "The Wife of the Dictator" is a character study of a simple American girl who marries a Latin American dictator. Her fate is inexorably bound up with his.
* "Sir Fleeting" is a story where a Midwestern farm girl on her honeymoon in Argentina falls into lifelong lust for a French playboy.
* "Watershed" is a tragedy, between a husband and a wife, which proves the maxim "don't say things you'll later regret".
* "Delicate Edible Birds" takes place during the fall of France. A disparate, but close group of War correspondents are held against their will by an evil French farmer who exacts a steep price in exchange for not turning them over to the Nazis.

# Clarence H. Burns

Clarence Henry "Du" Burns (September 13, 1918 – January 12, 2003) was a Democratic politician and the first African American mayor of Baltimore, Maryland in 1987.

## Early life

Burns was born in Baltimore on September 13, 1918. One of his first jobs was locker room attendant at Dunbar High School, one of the others being picking up newspapers. He got the nickname "Du" for what he would "do" for his community.

## Career

Du Burns was first elected to the Baltimore City Council in 1971. He was later elected City Council President in 1983, defeating Mary Pat Clarke in the election. In January 1987, the then-Mayor William Donald Schaefer resigned after being elected Governor of Maryland. As City Council president, Burns was elevated to mayor, becoming the first black mayor in the city's history.
In the 1987 city elections, Burns ran for a full term but was defeated in the Democratic primary by Kurt Schmoke. He ran again in 1991, once more falling second to Schmoke for the primary.
In 1991, a new arena on the waterfront near the neighborhood of Canton and Chestertown was named in Burns's honor. In 2014, the field received a renovation deal of 20 years, worth up to $1.5 million.

## Personal life

Burns was Catholic, an active member of Historic St. Francis Xavier Church.
# Abendgymnasium

An Abendgymnasium or "evening gymnasium" is a German class of secondary school for adults over the age of 18 which allows them to gain the Abitur. They were started in the 1920s as an opportunity for working class adults to improve their career options.

## Access and cost

To gain access to these schools, the pupils need to be at least 18 years old, needs to have finished at least nine years of school before, and need to have completed vocational training or two years of being a stay-at-home parent. Anyone not fulfilling these requirements would usually attend a standard, day-time gymnasium to gain the Abitur. Evening schools are focused on providing further education for adults who do not have the time to attend during the day. Classes are usually held after 17:30, although some classes may be held in the mornings for parents with school-age children. Lessons are taught in a similar fashion to those at a typical German gymnasium and students will often remain at the school for four years before taking their final exams. Some institutions allow for online learning whereby students can complete the coursework for the Abitur at home and only need attend the school two nights a week.
Tuition is typically free of charge for Germans at these schools. If the attendee has indirect costs, like having to reduce their work hours to attend school, they can get financial aid through BaföG. These financial aids are not repaid after graduation.
In some federal states of Germany, private schools offer Abendgymnasium courses, too. They usually charge between €50 per month and €800 per year.

## Abendgymnasien in Austria

Abendgymnasien exist in Austria as well as Germany, preparing students for the Matura.
Abendgymnasium Wien [de], in Vienna, was founded in 1925, with the involvement of Wanda Lanzer, and was reopened in 1945 after having been closed by the Nazi government. Since 2014, the school has been located at Brünner Straße 72 in the Floridsdorf district, and about 2,000 students attended classes there in 2022.
Abendgymnasium Salzburg [de] was founded in 1957. It is located on Franz-Josef-Kai, in the Lehen district [de].

## Courses

The courses consist of three main fields:
* Language: German, or German as a second language; English, French, Latin or Spanish
* History and politics: history, philosophy, economics, social sciences
* Science: mathematics, biology, chemistry, computer science
Additional sports courses are voluntary.
The attendees of evening schools write the same final exams as pupils of all other public schools. The leaving certificate Abitur then allows them to attend universities.
