# Minnesota Fats (character)

Minnesota Fats, or George Hegerman, is a fictional pool hustler created by American novelist Walter Tevis.
The character appears in Tevis' novels The Hustler (1959) and The Color of Money (1984). Jackie Gleason portrayed him in the 1961 film adaptation of The Hustler. Though a real pool hustler, Rudolf Wanderone, who began calling himself "Minnesota Fats" in 1961, claimed to be the inspiration, Tevis denied that claim and insisted that Minnesota Fats was fictional.

## Film

Jackie Gleason played Minnesota Fats in the 1961 adaptation of The Hustler. His performance earned Best Supporting Actor nominations for the Academy Award and the Golden Globe, and the Best Supporting Actor award by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures. Although Minnesota Fats was a secondary character in the Color of Money novel, he did not appear in the 1986 film of that name, which had an entirely different storyline from the novel.

## Wanderone

Real-life pool hustler and entertainer Rudolf Wanderone was known as "New York Fats" (among other nicknames) when the book was published. Realizing there was money to be made from being associated with the success of the book and subsequent film, he changed his nickname to match the fictional name and later went on to play himself as the character "Minnesota Fats" in the film The Player (1971). Tevis consistently denied that Wanderone had anything to do with the author's character, writing in a subsequent printing of The Hustler: "I made up Minnesota Fats—name and all—as surely as Disney made up Donald Duck." However, Derek Kirunchyk examined the pages of Tevis' original manuscript and discovered that Tevis had changed the character's nickname from "New York" to "Minnesota" in one of the original manuscript pages, lending credence to Wanderone's claim that he was the inspiration for the character.
Wanderone's association with the name started in 1961. That year, while at a drive-in movie theater owned by a friend of Wanderone's (George Jansco), in Johnston City, Illinois, showing The Hustler, Wanderone boasted that the author had based the character upon him, a story which was picked up by local news and subsequently by the national press outlets. Willie Mosconi – famed as the 19-time winner of the World Straight Pool Championship and technical adviser for The Hustler – disputed the claim, which had the paradoxical effect of giving it more notoriety. Wanderone capitalized on this, threatening to sue Tevis and 20th Century Fox. Tevis responded by denying he had ever met Wanderone. Meanwhile, the press covered it all, and the association became fixed. Wanderone's second wife later claimed that a financial settlement had been made by Tevis to avoid a lawsuit, which Wanderone's first wife denied.
# Steven D. Tanksley

Steven Dale Tanksley (born April 7, 1954) is the Chief Technology Officer of Nature Source Improved Plants. Prior to founding Nature Source Improved Plants, Tanksley served as the Liberty Hyde Bailey professor of plant breeding and biometry and chair of the Genomics Initiative Task Force at Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He is currently a Professor Emeritus at Cornell University.

## Education

Tanksley received a bachelor's degree in agronomy from Colorado State University in 1976 and a doctorate in genetics from the University of California, Davis in 1979.

## Career and research

Tanksley joined the faculty at Cornell in 1985 as an associate professor of plant breeding, and became full professor in 1994. He led the development of the first molecular maps of tomato and rice. In 1993, Tanksley was the head of a Cornell research group that isolated and subsequently cloned a disease-resistance gene in tomato plants. The research is believed to be the first successful DNA map-based cloning in a major crop plant.
Much of Tanksley's work focused on identifying alleles from wild relatives of crops that could be useful in improving cultivated varieties, for example fruit size and shape in tomato, using the technology Marker-assisted selection (MAS). He led work developing the advanced backcross Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) method, facilitating the introgression of new alleles into cultivated breeding lines. His team also spearheaded using genetic markers in comparative mapping among Solanaceae species and others.
Tanksley has co-authored more than 200 scientific publications and has mentored dozens of graduate students including Susan McCouch.
In 2006, Tanksley co-founded Nature Source Genetics, a company based in Ithaca, NY, conceived to work on creating new computer algorithms to improve the efficiency of using natural genetic diversity in crop improvement. In 2016, Nature Source Genetics merged with the In Vitro division of Agromod, a Mexican company specializing in plant propagation, to form Nature Source Improved Plants, LLC, a US-based company dedicated to the genetic improvement, propagation, and sales of high performing plant materials. The company has one division in Ithaca, NY and one in Tapachula, Mexico.

### Awards and honors

Tanksley was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in 1995. He has received the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Award, the Martin Gibbs Medal of the American Society of Plant Biologists, and the Wolf Prize in Agriculture. Tanksley was also awarded the Kumho International Science Award in 2005 for his work in molecular genetics. In 2016, he won the Japan Prize. He was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) of London in 2009.

# Battle of Valencia de Alcántara

The Battle of Valencia de Alcántara took place in August 1762 when an Anglo Portuguese force led by John Burgoyne surprised and captured the town of Valencia de Alcántara from its Spanish defenders during the Seven Years' War. The town was taken on 27 August as part of the defence against the Spanish invasion of Portugal.
The force that captured Almeida was part of a significant Spanish offensive to overrun Portugal. A northern pincer invaded Portugal from Galicia crossing the Douro and threatening Porto while the southern force crossed the border from Ciudad Rodrigo. With Spain invading Portugal in support of France, Britain sent reinforcements to aid the Portuguese; in total around 8,000 men led by John Burgoyne.
On 24 August, Count of Lippe decided to attack the Spanish town of Valencia de Alcántara, a central supply base for the invasion. He sent John Burgoyne, a colonel of the 16th Light Dragoons now local rank of brigadier general with an Anglo-Portuguese contingent of around 2,800 men (400 light dragoons, six British infantry companies of the 3rd Regiment of Foot, eleven Portuguese grenadiers companies, two howitzers and two light guns). Burgoyne passed the Tagus at Abrantes. At Castelo de Vide, Burgoyne was joined by 100 Portuguese foot, 50 irregular cavalry, and about 40 armed peasants.
On 27 August, after a forced march totalling 45 miles, they attacked and captured the town, surprising the Spanish defenders; Burgoyne led his cavalry with effect. Once the town had been captured, the British and Portuguese quickly cleared the neighbourhood of the Spanish troops, taking several prisoners, including a Spanish general. In addition, the town was left undamaged and had to pay a ransom of a year's taxes in corn.
This little victory raised Portuguese morale. Burgoyne was given a large diamond, and the Spanish Colours were captured. The victory also set back the invasion and contributed to the general victory that year. Two months later he defeated the Spanish again at the battle of Vila Velha.

# 't Nupke, Geldrop

't Nupke is a windmill located on Molenakker 3 in Geldrop, North Brabant, Netherlands. Built in 1843 on a hill, the windmill functioned as a gristmill. The mill was built as a tower mill, and its sails have a span of 25.20 metres (82.7 ft). The mill has been a national monument (nr 16032) since 15 May 1968. The name of the mill comes from the piece of land it is located on.

## Etymology

The mill was named in the 1970s after the piece of land the mill was built on, which was locally called Het Nupke. 't is short for het which is Dutch for the article "the". Nupke is a Brabantian dialect word for "button" or "bump", indicating there was a small hill at this location.

## History

't Nupke was built by miller Anthonij Sevens and was completed in 1843. Before building the mill Sevens was miller, in cooperation with Dirk Verbeek, at the watermill in Geldrop and the windmill in Zesgehuchten. For unknown reason he broke this cooperation in 1841 and started the work to build 't Nupke. After he passed away in 1849 his son Anthonius took over. Theodorus Verbeek bought the mill in 1870, and was succeeded by his sons who would work the mill until it was sold to Paulus Joseph Rooymans in 1920.
In 1933 Johannes Bernardus Obbing bought the mill, which gave the mill its nickname De Obbing. At his passing in 1967 the mill was inherited by his daughters. The mill would not be used for the next 10 years and came into disrepair. Having been declared a national monument on 15 May 1968, the mill was bought by the municipality of Geldrop in 1978 and restored.
On 10 May 1980, National Mills Day, the mill was officially taken into use again by volunteer millers.

## Description

Round stone mill covered in white plaster.

## Location

't Nupke is on a small elevation, on the west end of a dead end street, Molenakker, south west of the center of Geldrop.

## Owners

The mill has had the following owners.
* Anthonij Sevens (1843-1849)

# Sven Vintappares Torg

Vera Siöcronas Torg (Swedish "Square of Vera Siöcrona") is a small public square in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. North and south of the square are the alleys Sven Vintappares Gränd and Didrik Ficks Gränd, both leading to Västerlånggatan and Stora Nygatan.
Like the neighbouring square Gåstorget situated a block further north and several other small open spaces in the old town, Sven Vintappares Torg, which was its name before 2018, was created during the 18th century as a turning space for horse-drawn vehicles, which was badly needed in the narrow medieval urban throng.
Presumably, the square remained nameless for many years, before the current name was proposed in 2002.
