# Life on Mars (poetry collection)

Life on Mars is a poetry collection by Tracy K. Smith for which she won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. The collection is an elegy for her father, a scientist who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope.

## Publication

Smith published the 88-page collection with Graywolf Press in 2011.

## Content

Writing in The Washington Post, Troy Jollimore advised readers "had better be prepared to face some stark metaphysical questions...An awareness of death permeates Life on Mars." In The New Yorker, Dan Chiasson described Life on Mars as "Smith’s wild, far-ranging elegy" for her father who died in 2008. Her father had been a scientist who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope and "Smith cannot think about [him] without thinking in galactic dimensions, which, paradoxically, minimize him: drawn to that scale, individual lives (even his) can seem puny, and private traumas (even hers) inconsequential."
Chiasson also points to the Martian reference's callback to the culture of the 1950s. "The issues of power and paternalism suggest the deep ways in which this is a book about race. Smith’s deadpan title is itself racially freighted: we can’t think about one set of fifties images of Martians and sci-fi comics, without conjuring another, of black kids in the segregated South."

## Reception

Reviewing the collection for The New York Times, Joel Brouwer said Life on Mars shows Smith "to be a poet of extraordinary range and ambition...and the early successes of this collection far outweigh its later missteps. As all the best poetry does, Life on Mars first sends us out into the magnificent chill of the imagination and then returns us to ourselves, both changed and consoled." Jollimore praised the poem "My God, It’s Full of Stars" as "particularly strong, making use of images from science and science fiction to articulate human desire and grief."
Life on Mars was named to The New York Times list of "100 Notable Books of 2011".

## Awards

* 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, with the citation reading: "A collection of bold, skillful poems, taking readers into the universe and moving them to an authentic mix of joy and pain."
# Lelia Masaga

Lelia Tony Corona Masaga (born 30 August 1986) is a New Zealand international rugby union player. He plays for Glasgow Warriors. Masaga plays on Wing.

## Rugby Union career
### Amateur career

Masaga was drafted to Marr in the Scottish Premiership for the 2017–18 season.
Masaga has been drafted to Glasgow Hawks in the Scottish Premiership for the 2018–19 season.

### Professional career

Masaga played for the Chiefs in New Zealand.
After the 2013 Super Rugby season, he moved to play rugby in Japan.
On 12 May 2017 Glasgow Warriors confirmed a 2-year signing of Masaga beginning for the 2017-18 season.
Masaga played his first match for the Warriors on 25 August 2017 coming on as a substitute against Dragons in a 40–23 away win.

### International career

Masaga was selected for the New Zealand U21 side for the 2006 Under 21 Rugby World Cup in France. Masaga was the top try scorer in the tournament with 7 tries.
The NZRU's controversial decision to 'recondition' established All Black test players including Chiefs anchors Sitiveni Sivivatu and Mils Muliaina allowed Masaga to cement his position in the side. Despite early losses in the 2007 season, coaches Ian Foster and Warren Gatland showed patience and trust in the young winger who has performed remarkably well, co-leading the tournament as top try scorer with 8 tries going into the last round. He was included in the All Blacks squad for the 2009 Iveco Series to cover for injuries when he earned his first test cap against Italy on 27 June 2009.

He was an opponent of blood sports. In 1927, he wrote a letter to the League for the Prohibition of Cruel Sports commenting that "blood sports are atrociously cruel and unfair to the animal, and degrading to those who take part in them".

# Anna Dorothea, Abbess of Quedlinburg

Duchess Anna Dorothea of Saxe-Weimar (12 November 1657 – 24 June 1704) reigned as Princess-Abbess of Quedlinburg from 1684 until her death.
Born in Weimar, Duchess Anna Dorothea was the daughter of John Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, and Princess Christine Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg.
Her father decided she should pursue an ecclesiastical career when she was still a child. From 1681 until 1684, Anna Dorothea was provost of the Quedlinburg monasteries. Upon the death of Princess-Abbess Anna Sophia II, Anna Dorothea was chosen to succeed her, though not without difficulties that required the intervention of the abbey-principality's guardian and fellow Wettin, John George III, Elector of Saxony. The Elector consented to her election on 4 September 1684 and Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I confirmed it on 29 January 1685.
In 1698, Frederick Augustus I, who had succeeded to the Electorate of Saxony in 1694 and had been elected King of Poland in 1697, found himself in need of money as the election had cost him a fortune. The King of Poland therefore decided to sell his rights of guardianship of the abbey-principality to Elector Frederick III of Brandenburg. The change was not welcomed by the citizens of Quedlinburg nor by the Princess-Abbess, as it led to diminishing of her power and loss of many of the abbey-principality's possessions. The Princess-Abbess protested against the sale and refused to recognise the Elector of Brandenburg as the abbey-principality's new guardian until military occupation the same year forced her to do so. As many of her predecessors, she often came into conflicts with the Council of the City of Quedlinburg and her guardian.
Anna Dorothea suffered poor health in 1703 and went to Carlsbad to recover, but without success. She died the next year. She is buried in Weimar.
# Anna Gutu

Anna Gutu (1990 or 1991 – October 7, 2023) was a Ukrainian-American climber and high-altitude mountaineer. She is known for her pursuit to become the first American woman, and the third overall American climber, to climb all 14 of the eight-thousanders (which are peaks above 8,000 meters in elevation).

## Climbing

In 2023, Gutu summited Dhaulagiri (June), Kangchenjunga (September), and Cho Oyu (October). In October, she was climbing her final ascent, Shishapangma in Tibet, with Mingma Sherpa, her Nepalese guide, when she was killed in an avalanche. Gina Marie Rzucidlo, who was also in the last leg of competing for the title of the first American woman to climb all 14 summits, died in the avalanche shortly afterwards.

## Personal life

A U.S. citizen, Gutu was born in Odesa, Ukraine in 1990 or 1991. Gutu recorded many of her climbs on social media. Near the time of her death, she had 38 thousand followers on Instagram.

# Nissan Spivak

Nissan Spivak (1824 – 1906, born Nissi Belzer) was a Jewish cantor and composer.

## Career

Born in Novaya Mysh [be], he was cantor in Bălţi (Beltsy), Bessarabia, and was generally known as ‘Nisn Beltzer’. Later he was cantor at Kishinev (Bessarabia) and from 1877 at Berdychiv (now in Ukraine).
In his childhood he had an accident which damaged his voice but he had an extensive reputation primarily as a composer and choir conductor. It was his vocal handicap that led him to develop original synagogue music in which the choir, instead of being merely an accompaniment or used for responses, was assigned lengthy ensembles - with solos and duets - reducing the role of the cantor. Spivak attracted many students to Berdychiv, including Boris Thomashefsky and Lipa Feingold, and took his choirs to other centers, including Hasidic courts.
Spivak died in Ukraine and was survived by his son Joseph Spivak.

# Fiber network mechanics

Fiber network mechanics is a subject within physics and mechanics that deals with the deformation of networks made by the connection of slender fibers. Fiber networks are used to model the mechanics of fibrous materials such as biopolymer networks and paper products. Depending on the mechanical behavior of individual filaments, the networks may be composed of mechanical elements such as Hookean springs, Euler-Bernoulli beams, and worm-like chains. The field of fiber network mechanics is closely related to the mechanical analysis of frame structures, granular materials, critical phenomena, and lattice dynamics.

# Midwest Hiawatha

The Midwest Hiawatha was a passenger train on the Milwaukee Road, one of many Milwaukee Road trains with a Hiawatha name. The service began December 11, 1940 between Chicago's Union Station and Omaha, Nebraska, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, through northern Illinois and Iowa and South Dakota.
Initially the train used Atlantic 4-4-2 steam engines and cars freed by the 1938 re-equipping of the Twin Cities Hiawathas, including the distinctive Beaver Tail parlor-observation cars.$^{:97}$ In 1940 the train covered 488 miles (785 km) between Chicago and Omaha in 480 minutes. Unlike the competition between Chicago and the Missouri River, the Midwest Hiawatha was scheduled during daylight, which helped boost patronage. For most of its history, it carried coaches for both Omaha and Sioux Falls with tap-diners and parlor services generally run between Chicago and Sioux Falls. The two sections of the train split at Manilla, Iowa.$^{:91}$
The final trips for the Midwest Hiawatha were on October 29, 1955. The next day the Milwaukee Road assumed operation of Union Pacific Railroad's City of San Francisco, City of Los Angeles, City of Denver, City of Portland and Challenger trains. The Midwest Hiawatha became two Sioux Falls–Chicago coaches which combined with the Challenger in Manilla. The Milwaukee Road dropped the name altogether in April 1956,$^{:91–92}$ when the eastward was rescheduled to leave Omaha at 2:45 AM CST.
