# Eamon Morrissey (actor)

Eamon Morrissey (born 25 January 1943) is an Irish actor, best known for his comic performances on stage and television. He currently plays Cass Cassidy in Fair City.

## Early life

An only child, Morrissey was born in Dublin and grew up in the suburb of Ranelagh. His parents encouraged his early interest in stage performance and he won several medals for his recitations at the Feis Ceoil. While still in his teens and a pupil at Synge Street CBS, Morrissey worked part-time as a stage manager in various Dublin theatres. He left school before sitting the Leaving Certificate in order to try his hand at acting in London. After spending several years there doing odd jobs, he was chosen for the part of Ned, the emigrant, in the 1964 world première of Brian Friel's Philadelphia, Here I Come!.

## Career
### Stage

Philadelphia, Here I Come! later became a huge success on Broadway and Morrissey enjoyed a lengthy sojourn in the United States as a member of the cast. In July 1967, another Friel play, Lovers, opened at the Gate Theatre in Dublin with Morrissey in the leading role of Joe.
In 1974, Morrissey adapted the satirical writings of Brian O'Nolan into a successful one-man show entitled The Brother. In his two-hour solo performance, Morrissey portrays a "porter-swilling, nose-picking pub philosopher with ingenious solutions to the world's problems". The Brother continues to be an enduring hit with audiences throughout the world. Morrissey went on to create two more one-man shows, Patrick Gulliver, drawn from the works of Jonathan Swift, and Joycemen, which features various characters from James Joyce's Ulysses.

### Television

In 1977, Morrissey won a Jacob's Award for his performances in Frank Hall's long-running satirical TV series, Hall's Pictorial Weekly. Each week he appeared as a variety of grotesque characters, most notably The Minister for Hardship (based on the then-Finance Minister, Richie Ryan). Two decades later, he appeared as Father Derek Beeching in "Speed 3", an episode of Channel 4's sitcom Father Ted.
In 2009, Morrissey returned to prime-time Irish television as Cass Cassidy in the RTÉ One soap opera, Fair City. In 2011, Morrissey was among the nominees for Best Supporting Actor at the annual Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs) for his role in Fair City.

### Film

Morrissey's most significant movie appearance to date came in 1986 when he took the central role of Arthur in Peter Ormrod's Eat the Peach.
# Abu Mohammad Jawad Walieddine

Sheikh Abu Mohammad Jawad Walieddine (1916 – April 27, 2012) was regarded as the highest spiritual authority amongst the Druze community encompassing Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel from 1988 up to his death in 2012.

# St Barnabas, Windhoek

St Barnabas was an Anglican mission station, church, and school in Windhoek, the administrative centre of South West Africa. The school was situated in the Old Location suburb. When Old Location was closed for blacks in 1968 the existing buildings and institutions, among them St Barnabas, were destroyed.

## St Barnabas Anglican Mission School

The Anglican Mission St Barnabas was located in the Old Location suburb of Windhoek, an area exclusively for black people. The primary school at St Barnabas was founded in 1923. It was, at that time, the only school in the territory of South West Africa where teachers were black.
In the 1950s, the school had classes from grades 1 up to 12 (matric), and it also accommodated people that could only attend in the evenings. During the same period the Windhoek municipality and the South African colonial administration decided to forcefully move the residents of the Old Location 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the north of the city to gain more land for settlement by white people. In 1968, the Old Location was officially closed and whites began to settle while the forced removal prompted the evicted people to give the new location the name Katutura (Otjiherero: The place where we do not want to live). With the new designation for the suburb as an area exclusively for whites St Barnabas, and with it the school, was destroyed.

### Notable alumni

A number of prominent Namibians attended St Barnabas, among them:
* Clemens Kapuuo (1923–1978) – paramount chief, OvaHerero
* Mburumba Kerina – co-founder, SWAPO (SWAPO Party of Namibia), the National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO), and the Federal Convention of Namibia (FCN)
* Sam Nujoma – founding president of Namibia; attended St Barnabas as from 1949
* Kuaima Riruako (1935–2014) – paramount chief, OvaHerero; president, National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO)
* Tjama Tjivikua – rector, Polytechnic of Namibia; attended St Barnabas from 1967 until the closure of the Old Location
# San Giuseppe, Grosseto

San Giuseppe (St. Joseph) is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Grosseto, Tuscany. Located in the western part of the city on Via Sauro, in the Barbanella neighborhood, it is the first parish church built in Grosseto outside the historic center.

## History

The church was built in the 1930s to address the needs of residents in the western part of the city, beyond the Tirrenica railway, in the developing Barbanella neighborhood.
The project was designed by engineer Ernesto Ganelli, and the laying of the cornerstone was blessed by Bishop Paolo Galeazzi on 27 April 1935. The parish of Saint Joseph was officially established on 19 March 1938. The establishment of the parish was intended by the bishop to commemorate the event involving Pope Innocent II, who, on 19 March 1133, issued the papal bull Iustus Dominus in Grosseto, which mediated peace between Pisa and Genoa. Construction lasted five years, culminating in the solemn consecration of the church on 14 April 1940.
In 1988, the church underwent a major restoration, which included removing the vaulted ceiling, restoring the wooden trusses, and refurbishing the presbyteral area according to designs by architect Father Angelo Polesello.

## Description

The church of San Giuseppe is built in a Romanesque Revival style. Bishop Paolo Galeazzi aimed to use an architectural style that stayed as close as possible to the medieval form, which he considered the epitome of "spiritual" architecture. The bishop rejected an initial design by Ganelli presented in 1934, as it was deemed too "modern". This first proposal gave the building an "abstract appearance, characterized by the striking verticality of the high openings in the bell tower and façade, which might have been inspired by Angiolo Mazzoni's Post Office building".
Its façade is organized into three sections that align with the three internal naves, each featuring an architraved entrance with a decorated lunette and a full arch. The central section of the façade is taller and includes a prominent circular rose window, topped by a decorative crown.
The sides of the church, corresponding to the lateral naves, have a series of circular rose windows similar to the central one and biforate windows with columns and arches, which help illuminate the central nave. A central mosaic shows Saint Joseph between Pope Innocent II and Pope Pius XI.
The bell tower, located on the right side of the church, has five tiers with proportionate openings, columns, and arches. The top tier, which houses the bell chamber, features a pentafore, and the tower is capped with a gently sloping four-sided roof.
Inside, the church is divided into three naves by columns made of trachyte and red marble, adorned with detailed capitals in high relief designed by Tolomeo Faccendi. The stained glass windows are a notable feature, harmoniously integrated into the Romanesque Revival design. Each nave concludes with a semi-circular apse.

# Wolverton Works canal bridge

The Wolverton Works canal bridge, or Bridge no. 171C, is a bridge over the Grand Union Canal in Wolverton, Milton Keynes in south-eastern England. It carries a spur from the West Coast Main Line into Wolverton Works. It was built in 1834–1835 for the London and Birmingham Railway under the supervision of Robert Stephenson and has been little modified since. It is a grade II* listed building.

## Background

Wolverton Works, opened in 1838, was built by the London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) as its main locomotive maintenance depot. Wolverton, now part of Milton Keynes, was chosen because it was the approximate half-way point of the line. Just to the south is Old Wolverton Road bridge and Blue Bridge and to the north is Wolverton Viaduct, both original to the L&BR. Immediately north of the bridge is the Royal Train Shed.

## Design

The bridge carries the tracks across the Grand Union Canal. It consists of 16 cast-iron I-beams supporting the track, with a stone bearing. The abutments are in a combination of red and blue brick. One of the girders contains the manufacturers' mark "Butterley" in relief, referencing the Butterley Company of Derby. The original girders are all cross braced; one, probably the original eastern face, is decorated with moulded timber. When the bridge was widened, steel or wrought iron girders were added on the eastern side. The deck was built from cast iron plates, most of which survive. As built, the bridge had two sections, each eight beams wide, with a gap between them, but the gap was later filled with steelwork. The original balustrades were replaced in the 20th century with timber parapets and steel railings.

## History

The bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, opened in 1838 when the LBR began running train services. The section of line carried by the bridge was originally four tracks wide and part of the LBR's main line. The main line (now known as the West Coast Main Line) originally passed through Wolverton works but in 1882, a new section of line was built to allow trains to bypass the works. Thereafter, traffic over the bridge reduced and it ceased to carry passenger services, possibly explaining why it was never replaced. The bridge was widened in 1889, by which time the LBR had been amalgamated into the London and North Western Railway, using wrought iron instead of cast iron.
Following several failures, many cast-iron beam bridges were replaced and Wolverton's is now a rare survivor, and possibly the only such bridge of its size remaining. The bridge now carries a single track, which is supported on the steel plate across the centre of the structure which was added in the 20th century. Although modified and widened the bridge is still substantially the same structure as when it was built. The bridge, along with the adjacent reading room building, is the oldest intact part of the works. It is a grade II* listed building.

# Stanley Thomas

Sir Gilbert Stanley Thomas OBE is a British businessman and property developer. He founded the catering company Peter's Food Services and also owned a 20% stake in TBI Airports, until it was sold in 2004.
Thomas was knighted in the 2006 birthday honours for "services to Business and to Charity in Wales".
In 2019 the Sunday Times estimated his net worth jointly with his brother Peter Thomas CBE at £228 million. Peter died in 2023.

## Controversy over land sales

In 2015 the Wales Audit Office reported that taxpayers may have lost out on millions of pounds in the sale of government-owned land to companies owned by Thomas, through sales not advertised on the open market.
Andrew RT Davies, leader of the Welsh Conservatives, commented, "It's an absolute disgrace... millions of pounds [have] been lost to the public purse as a result of this land sale." He commented that it may have been the biggest-ever financial loss to the taxpayer in a single transaction.
The Wales Audit Office reported that the government-owned Regeneration Investment Fund for Wales sold 15 pieces of land in 2012 for £21.7 million to South Wales Land Developments (SWLD), a firm financed by a Guernsey-based company owned by Thomas. But the district valuer estimated that the individual pieces of land were in fact together worth £36 million.
In addition, around 120 acres of farmland in Cardiff were sold privately to SWLD for £2 million, while the land's value on the open market should have been around £20 million. Just four months after the sale, Cardiff Council published a planning blueprint that increased the market value of the same land to £120 million - 60 times the original sale price of the land.
The Wales Audit Office report concluded that there were significant flaws throughout the sale process. Thomas refused to be interviewed for the report.
# Joseph Wilson Ervin

Joseph Wilson Ervin (March 3, 1901 – December 25, 1945) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from North Carolina.

## Family background, education and early professional life

He was the younger brother of a more famous politician, Sam Ervin.
Ervin was born in Morganton, Burke County, North Carolina. He attended the public schools, was graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1921 where he was a member of the Dialectic Society and from its law school in 1923, was admitted to the bar in 1923 and commenced practice in Charlotte, North Carolina.

## U.S. Congressman

He was elected as a Democrat to the Seventy-ninth Congress and served from January 3, 1945, until his death in Washington, D.C., on December 25, 1945, nearly a year after entering Congress. Ervin was a staunch opponent of the Fair Employment Practice Committee.

## Suicide

He killed himself by inhaling gas from a kitchen stove. This was said to be due to the pain from osteomyelitis from which he was suffering. His brother Sam Ervin was elected to finish his term. Joseph Ervin was interred in Forest Hill Cemetery, Morganton, North Carolina.
# Rate-of-living theory

The rate of living theory postulates that the faster an organism's metabolism, the shorter its lifespan. First proposed by Max Rubner in 1908, the theory was based on his observation that smaller animals had faster metabolisms and shorter lifespans compared to larger animals with slower metabolisms. The theory gained further credibility through the work of Raymond Pearl, who conducted experiments on drosophila and cantaloupe seeds, which supported Rubner's initial observation. Pearl's findings were later published in his book, The Rate of Living, in 1928, in which he expounded upon Rubner's theory and demonstrated a causal relationship between the slowing of metabolism and an increase in lifespan.
The theory gained additional credibility with the discovery of Max Kleiber's law in 1932. Kleiber found that an organism's basal metabolic rate could be predicted by taking 3/4 the power of the organism's body weight. This finding was noteworthy because the inversion of the scaling exponent, between 0.2 and 0.33, also demonstrated the scaling for both lifespan and metabolic rate, and was colloquially called the "mouse-to-elephant" curve.

## Mechanism

Mechanistic evidence was provided by Denham Harman's free radical theory of aging, created in the 1950s. This theory stated that organisms age over time due to the accumulation of damage from free radicals in the body. It also showed that metabolic processes, specifically the mitochondria, are prominent producers of free radicals. This provided a mechanistic link between Rubner's initial observations of decreased lifespan in conjunction with increased metabolism.

## Current state of theory

Support for this theory has been bolstered by studies linking a lower basal metabolic rate (evident with a lowered heartbeat) to increased life expectancy. This has been proposed by some to be the key to why animals like the giant tortoise can live over 150 years.
However, the ratio of resting metabolic rate to total daily energy expenditure can vary between 1.6 and 8.0 between species of mammals. Animals also vary in the degree of coupling between oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production, the amount of saturated fat in mitochondrial membranes, the amount of DNA repair, and many other factors that affect maximum life span. Furthermore, a number of species with high metabolic rate, like bats and birds, are long-lived. In a 2007 analysis it was shown that, when modern statistical methods for correcting for the effects of body size and phylogeny are employed, metabolic rate does not correlate with longevity in mammals or birds.
