# Lars Amund Vaage

Lars Amund Vaage was born in 1952 at Sunde, Kvinnherad on the west coast of Norway, and studied classical piano at the Bergen Music Conservatory. He made his literary debut in 1979 with the novel Exercise Cold Winter, and has since published award-winning novels, short stories and collections of poetry, and a long essay on the art of storytelling, Sorrow and Song, 2016. In 1995 he had a definitive breakthrough in Norway with the Critics’ Prize-winning novel Rubato. In 2012, his acclaimed novel Sing, based on his experience of being the parent of a severely autistic child, was a national bestseller, winning the national Brage Prize and nominated for the Critics’ Prize. It has since become a classic.
“The one to whom I write this cannot read.” That is the opening sentence of Sing. It is also the key to the way this established novelist needs to find in order to tell his life-changing story, which for many years and many different reasons he did not think would be possible. In Sorrow and Song he expands on this decisive moment and sheds light on other insights into the art of writing, such as the relevance of music and rhythm in prose, and how fiction offers a certain freedom of speech which confessional literature does not.
His latest book The Little Pianist (2017) is a collection of short stories about love, longing and the lack of love. The children and adults here are looking for a language of their own, something that will connect them to others and provide some kind of redemption. They face great challenges. Art seems to offer the hope of insight and understanding, but its gatekeepers can be implacable; and how do you find love, and live with it, if you have never known it at home? If you venture to leave home, you may discover on your return that you have become a stranger to yourself and those who first knew you.
His work has been translated into English, German, Swedish, Russian, Polish and Hindi.
He was the festival writer with Bergen International Festival in 2001, and Dei nynorske festspela (The New Norwegian Festival) in 2008.
Vaage is the grandson of the Norwegian author Ragnvald Vaage (1889–1963).

# Frownland (film)

Frownland is a 2007 American independent film written and directed by Ronald Bronstein. It stars Dore Mann as Keith, a self-described "troll", who sweats and stutters his way through his job as a door-to-door salesman, dubiously selling coupons to assist people affected by multiple sclerosis. The film is populated by a cast of characters as dysfunctional and full of neuroses as Keith. The title comes from the song "Frownland" off the album Trout Mask Replica, by Captain Beefheart (who suffered from multiple sclerosis).
It premiered at South by Southwest in 2007, where it won the Special Jury Prize, and was self-distributed in New York City on March 7, 2008.

## Plot summary

The story centers on Keith (Dore Mann), a socially challenged yet self-aware and lonely young man in his late 20s, to get through his days and nights. He is a chain-smoker, a shabby dresser, sleeps in the kitchen of his cramped 2 room New York apartment, and makes his living as a door-to-door salesman for dubious coupon booklets. His girlfriend, Laura (Mary Wall), arrives sobbing at his tiny room, sleeps with her face to the wall, sticks him with a push-pin. His flatmate, Charles (Paul Grimstad), agrees to pay the electric bill but doesn't, and verbally abuses him. His "friend" Sandy (David Sandholm) doesn't want Keith to visit and once tricks him into leaving and the other time forces him to.
The film details Keith's ineptitude to the daily life in a span of a few days. "It is full throttle all the way with insecurity, needfulness, loneliness, mistrust, desperation, self-hate, apology and despair."

## Awards

Frownland Special Jury Award at the important SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas and Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You at the Gotham Awards in 2007.

## Release

Frownland opened on March 7, 2008, at the IFC Center in New York City, where it was introduced by Lodge Kerrigan, who had previously seen the film at the Maryland Film Festival.
Richard Brody of the New Yorker highly praises the film: " This amazingly accomplished first feature by Ronald Bronstein, made with a crew of four on a scant budget, throbs with energy and vision.... Mann, a distant cousin of Bronstein’s, delivers a transfixing performance; his clenched jaws, squinting eyes, and stifled speech avoid all stereotypes as he brings the character to life from within." Roger Ebert gives the film 3.5 stars out of 4, saying "It centers on an extraordinary performance that plays like an unceasing panic attack. To call it uncompromising is to wish for a better word.... It is full throttle all the way with insecurity, needfulness, loneliness, mistrust, desperation, self-hate, apology and despair."

## Home media

The film was released on DVD by Factory 25 on September 29, 2009. The film was released as part of the Criterion Collection in August 2022.
# John Raines

John Raines (May 6, 1840, in Geneva, Ontario County, New York – December 16, 1909, in Canandaigua, Ontario County, New York) was an American lawyer and politician from New York. He authored the 1896 Raines Law, which prohibited liquor sales on Sundays, except in hotels, which had the unintended consequence of fostering prostitution.

## Life

He was born on May 6, 1840, in Geneva, Ontario County, New York, the son of Rev. John Raines II (1818–1877) and Mary (Remington) Raines (1815–1889). His father was a circuit rider clergy.
He was educated at Canandaigua Academy and Albany Law School, from where he graduated in 1861. Admitted to the bar upon graduation, Raines set up a law practice in Geneva, New York.
During the American Civil War, Raines formed and served as captain of Company G, 85th New York Volunteer Infantry and served in both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of North Carolina.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Ontario Co.) in 1881, 1882 and 1885; and of the New York State Senate (28th D.) from 1886 to 1889, sitting in the 109th, 110th, 111th and 112th New York State Legislatures. In addition he was President of the Board of Education for the Canandaigua school district from 1887 until his death. He was a delegate to the 1888 Republican National Convention.
He was elected to the 51st and 52nd United States Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1889, to March 3, 1893. Afterwards he returned to the State Senate where he sat from 1895 until his death, being a member of the 118th (26th D.), 119th, 120th, 121st, 122nd, 123rd, 124th, 125th, 126th, 127th, 128th, 129th, 130th, 131st and 132nd New York State Legislatures (all 42nd D.); and was President pro tempore from 1903 until his death. He was an alternate delegate to the 1900 and 1904 Republican National Conventions.
On December 5, 1906, he became Acting Lieutenant Governor of New York for the remainder of the month after the resignation of M. Linn Bruce who was appointed to the New York Supreme Court by Governor Frank W. Higgins.
Raines died on December 16, 1909, in Canandaigua, Ontario County, New York. Raines was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Canandaigua.
New York State Treasurer Thomas Raines (1842–1924) and State Senator George Raines (1846–1908) were his brothers.

## Legacy

Two of Raines' houses in Canandaigua still stand. His primary home, on the corner of Wood and Gorham Streets, was an Octagon house. His summer home, "Thendara", sat along the eastern shore of Canandaigua Lake at Deep Run Cove and is operated today as a restaurant and inn.

## Mechanism of action

ZTX is an extremely potent sodium channel blocker. It has been shown to block the voltage-gated sodium channels at picomolar concentrations. It is about 580 times more potent than saxitoxin.

## Toxicity

ZTX is an extremely potent neurotoxin. The LD$_{50}$ of ZTX in mice is 11 μg/kg.
# Sammy Herman

Samuel Herbert Herman (7 May 1903, in Bronxwood Park, New York – 23 April 1995, in Fishkill, New York) was an American xylophonist at NBC radio and television.
According to Randall Eyles:
   "Sammy Herman's radio debut was on WEAF in New York City in 1922. This was the beginning of a long career as a xylophone soloist on radio. He played on the "Lucky Strike Hit Parade" in the orchestras of Carl Hoff, Al Goodman, and Leo Reisman. In 1931 he played with Bing Crosby in Paul Whiteman's "Rhythm Boys" on the "Old Gold Hour". Perhaps most significant, Sammy performed every morning (with Frank Banta accompanying on piano) on N.B.C. radio."
Herman was inducted into the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame in 1994.

# Danielle Frenkel

Danielle Frenkel (Hebrew: דניאל פרנקל; born September 8, 1987) is an Israeli high jumper. She was the first female Israeli to clear 1.90 meters, and the only woman who cleared more than 1.90 meters in international competition.

## Biography

Danielle Frenkel was interested in being a professional dancer, and trained for years as a teenager with the Bat-Dor Dance Company. Two months after she began her army service, as a guide at Yad Vashem (a memorial to Jewish victims of the Holocaust), Israeli high jump coach Anatoly Shafran, who had seen her jump in a high school competition when she was 14, began an effort to convince her to jump competitively. She is a law student at the Interdisciplinary Center. Her nickname is the “Gravity Bender”.

## High jumping career

In 2007, when Frenkel began her training with Shafran, she jumped 1.69 meters. In each of the next two years, she improved her personal best by 6 centimeters, jumping 1.81 meters in 2009.
Her breakthrough year was 2010, in which she improved her personal best by 11 centimeters. After several improvements of her personal best, she won the national championships title for the first time, and also became the Israeli record holder with a jump of 1.89m, and few minutes later improved the fresh record to 1.91m. By this achievement, she qualified for the European Championships, held in Barcelona in late July. In the qualifying, she cleared every height in the first attempt, until she set another national record with a jump of 1.92m, and qualified for the Final, becoming the first ever Israeli female athlete to do so. Two days later in the final, her mediocre jump of 1.85m left her in 12th and last place.
In January 2011, Frenkel twice set a new Israeli national indoor record, at 1.87 meters and 1.90 meters. In March, at the European Indoor Championships in Paris, she set an Israeli record of 1.94 meters in qualifying. In the final, she reached fourth place with a jump of 1.92m, another best ever achievement for an Israeli woman. In July 2011, she became Israeli national champion for the second consecutive year, with a jump of 1.89 m. In August, she had a disappointment at the World Championships in Daegu, as she jumped only 1.85m and failed to qualify. Her season best outdoors was 1.90m, set in June at Neurim.
In June 2011, Frenkel finished fourth in the triple jump at 12.24 meters at the European Team Championships group three in Iceland.

# Mahlagha Mallah

Mahlagha Mallah (Persian: مه‌لقا ملاح‎; 21 September 1917 – 8 November 2021) was an Iranian environmental activist and librarian, who founded the Women's Society Against Environmental Pollution. She was referred to as the "Mother of Iran's Environment".

## Early life

Mallah was born on 21 September 1917, in a caravanserai close to Now Kandeh, whilst her parents were travelling to Mashhad on a pilgrimage. Her mother Khadijeh Afzal Vaziri, and her grandmother Bibi Khanoom Astarabadi, were both women's rights activists in Iran. Her father, Aghabzorg Mallah, worked for the government and lived in several cities. At age 17, Mallah married Hossein Abolhasani.

## Education and career

After studying philosophy, social sciences and sociology at the University of Tehran, Mallah was awarded an MA in social sciences in 1958. In 1966, she moved to Paris to study for a PhD at the University of the Sorbonne, where she graduated in 1968. During her time in Paris, she also studied librarianship at the National Library of France.
After graduation, Mallah returned to Iran and began work as a librarian at the Psychology Research Institute Library at the University of Tehran. It was only after her retirement from librarianship that Mallah and her husband began their environmental campaigning.

## Activism

Mallah's interest in environmental activism was fostered growing up as her mother, Khadijeh Afzal Vaziri, was an environmentalist too. However her interest grew when she was working as a librarian and, in 1973, read a book on pollution in order to understand how to catalogue it.
After Mallah retired in 1977, she began work researching pollution in Tehran, and started by visiting houses and knocking on people's doors to talk to them about pollution and other environmental issues. She founded the organisation the Women's Society Against Environmental Pollution, which was the first non-governmental environmental organisation in Iran. It was founded in 1993 and registered with the Ministry of the Interior in 1995. As a campaigning organisation, by 2012 it had become the largest environmental group in Iran. It has branches in 14 Iranian cities and has enabled over 25,000 families to recycle. In 2011, it was reputedly the most popular environmental group in the country.
In 2009, the Society published a report entitled "Water Rights" and stressed the urgent need for the conservation of wetland habitats in Iran. This includes work in the Zayandeh Rud region.

## Awards

* Personality of the Year – "Natural Heritage and Environment" (2010)

## Legacy

As a result of her activism, Mallah became known as the "Mother of Iran's Environment". She has been described as an ecofeminist, since her outlook on environmental issues emphasises that women need to be central in any kind of environmentalism.
The 2015 documentary All My Trees, directed by Rakhshān Banietemad, featured Mallah's life story.
Mallah died on 8 November 2021, at the age of 104.
