# Theodor Förster

Theodor Förster (15 May 1910 – 20 May 1974) was a German physical chemist known for theoretical work on light-matter interaction in molecular systems such as fluorescence and resonant energy transfer.

## Education and career

Förster was born in Frankfurt am Main and studied physics and mathematics at the University of Frankfurt from 1929 to 1933. He received his Ph.D. at the age of only 23 under Erwin Madelung in 1933. In the same year he joined the Nazi Party and the SA. He then joined Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer as a research assistant at the Leipzig University, where he worked closely with Peter Debye, Werner Heisenberg, and Hans Kautzky. Förster obtained his habilitation in 1940 and became a lecturer at the Leipzig University. Following his research and teaching activities in Leipzig, he became a professor at the Poznań University in occupied Poland (1942).
From 1947 to 1951 he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry in Göttingen as a department head. In 1951, he became a professor at the University of Stuttgart. He died due to a heart attack in 1974.

## Research

Among Förster's greatest achievements is his contribution to the understanding of FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer). The term Förster radius, which is related to the FRET phenomenon, is named after him. He also proposed the Förster cycle to predict the acid dissociation constant of a photoacid. He also discovered excimer formation in solutions of pyrene.

# Notre-Dame-du-Portage

Notre-Dame-du-Portage (French pronunciation:) is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec located at the edge of the Saint Lawrence River in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. It is part of the Rivière-du-Loup Regional County Municipality and home to the Riviere-du-Loup Golf Club.

## History

The municipality of Notre-Dame-du-Portage was officially created on July 19, 1856, by merging two sections of Rivière-du-Loup and Saint-André.
Construction of the first chapel began on May 30, 1855, under the supervision of Rivière-du-Loup priest Narcisse Beaubien. The first mass was celebrated there on November 1, 1855, by priest Beaubien, while the chapel received his blessing. The parish was canonically erected on March 1, 1856, while the parish municipality was officially created on July 19 of the same year from territories of the parishes of Saint-Patrice de Rivière-du-Loup and Saint-André-de-Kamouraska. A small Stations of the Cross given free of charge at the chapel was blessed by Father Michaud on March 10, 1857. Father Beaubien is often considered to be the founder of the parish of Notre-Dame-du-Portage, but the first resident priest was Father Esdras Rousseau, from 1858 to 1860. Construction of the current church, in Romanesque art, began in 1859 with two contractors, Charles Bernier of Cap-Saint-Ignace and Philippe Fortin of Montmagny; the cornerstone was blessed on July 21, 1859. Construction of the church was completed in 1863, but the first mass was celebrated there in 1862. The chapel was transformed into a clergy house. In 1889, a carillon of three bells was added to the church by Father de la Chevrotière; The bells were made in Villedieu, France, by Maison Havard and imported by J.-A. Langlais, of Quebec City. The carillon was blessed by Cardinal Elzéar-Alexandre Taschereau on June 16, 1889. The first Stations of the Cross in the church were purchased in September 1892 by Father Girard; it was painted on canvas. In September of the same year, Father Girard also purchased a white Madonna placed in the façade of the church. In 1906, a second Stations of the Cross was purchased; it was composed of a series of oil-painted canvases. It was blessed and installed by Father Taschereau on October 27, 1907. In 1983, a Casavant pipe organ dating from 1906 was purchased from the Franciscan monastery of Quebec for $2,000. It was inaugurated in February of the following year. On November 19, 2005, Notre-Dame-du-Portage changed its status from parish municipality to municipality. In the summer of 2006, the municipality celebrated its 150th anniversary of founding.
In 2005, Notre-Dame-du-Portage changed status from a Parish municipality to become a regular municipality.

## Attractions

Notre-Dame-du-Portage is a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of Quebec. Its Roman Catholic Church was constructed in 1859.
# John Cronin (horticulturist)

John Cronin (born 1865) was an Australian botanist and horticulturist active in Victoria. He directed the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne until his death.

## Career

Born in 1865 in Clunes, Cronin began working as a miner in the area, before relocating to Melbourne in 1886 where he found a job at the Royal Botanic Gardens. His mentor at the Botanic Gardens was W. R. Guilfoyle. After ten years with Guilfoyle, Cronin was hired by the Department of Agriculture as an orchid inspector. In 1908, he took over Charles Luffman as Principal of the Burnley Horticultural College, Richmond in 1908. During his two-year term, Cronin focused on pruning and hybridisation. One of his students here was Olive Mellor, who became a prominent landscape architect and gardening writer. Cronin resigned as Principal in mid-1909 to become Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, succeeding Guilfoyle. Unlike his predecessor, Cronin was strictly a horticulturist and did not concerned himself with other matters like landscape design. During this period he built strong links with the gardening public, and carried out experimental breeding of ornamental flowers including tree dahlias and Watsonia plants. Many of the flowers that Cronin bred, which bloomed in spring and were named after places in Australia, were released in the 1920s, most of which remain extant, albeit nameless. He was also President of the Victorian Horticultural Society.

## Later years and death

Cronin remained as Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens until his death. After a brief illness in early 1922, Cronin relapsed and died in July 1923. He was survived by his wife and their three daughters and two sons.

# St. Adalbert's Basilica, Buffalo

Saint Adalbert Basilica, (referred to in Polish as Bazylika Swietego Wojciecha) is a historic Roman Catholic church located on Buffalo, New York's East Side within the Diocese of Buffalo. It is a prime example of the Polish Cathedral style of church architecture in both its opulence and grand scale. A rare and special designation bestowed on the parish occurred in 1907, when the Vatican proclaimed St. Adalbert a basilica, the first in the USA. The proclamation, as well as its English translation, can be viewed to this day in the basilica's museum room.

## History

Built by Huber and Company in 1890, it was built by Polish immigrants. The building itself is brick, its dimensions are 240 feet (73 m) long, 118 feet (36 m) wide, nave 70 feet (21 m) high, the two towers are 150 feet (46 m) high with a dome 40 feet (12 m) wide and soaring 125 feet (38 m) above the main nave. At that time it was the largest church in Western New York and cost $63,000 without the furnishings. The 36 stained glass windows of the Basilica were produced by Franz Mayer & Co. of Munich, Germany. The interior was decorated by Jozef Mazur.

## Community

The St. Adalbert's Response to Love Center, run by Sister Mary Johnice, is located next to the Basilica and provides services for the poor of Buffalo, such as hot meals, a food pantry, toys and clothing for children, GED classes, and basic career-related computer training. In 2016, St. Adalbert's former rectory was transformed into the Mother Teresa Home, a haven for pregnant women operated by the Diocesen Office of Pro-Life Activities.

## Current status

The last mass was scheduled for November 25, 2007, but had been put on hold due to the parish having filed an appeal to the Vatican. In February 2008 the Vatican's highest Canonical Court upheld Bishop Edward Kmiec's decision to close the church. An appeal was made by the "Save St. Adalbert" committee, and the process was delayed. Again revisited, The Vatican Congregation for the Clergy has upheld the decision to merge St. Adalbert Parish into St. John Kanty Parish, with St. Adalbert's remaining open for worship. The final weekly Mass at St. Adalbert's was celebrated on Sept. 18, 2011, marking the end of the yearlong observance of the 125th anniversary of the parish. St. Adalbert Basilica remains open to this day for four yearly special masses plus weddings, funerals, baptisms, tours, and other occasions.

# Church of St. Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr (Buffalo, New York)

St. Stanislaus - Bishop & Martyr Church is located at 123 Townsend Street, Buffalo, New York on the city's east side. The Church is the oldest Polish church in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo and holds the title of "Mother Church of Polonia" for western New York.

## History

The parish was established on June 8, 1873, by Rev. Jan Pitass and the Society of Saint Stanislaus. The original church was a two-story, wood-frame church that was built in 1874. That church was converted to a school shortly after the present-day church was completed in 1886. In 1904, the church's parish was among the largest in the U.S. with close to 20,000 parishioners and nearly 2,000 children were enrolled in the school. The church contains an 1893 Johnson & Son pipe organ in the choir loft. There are three carrara marble altars in the sanctuary and the main altar is 34 ft high. In 1889, St. Stanislaus Bishop & Martyr Cemetery was established in nearby Cheektowaga, NY. The cemetery occupies 20 acres of land. In 1965, St. Stanislaus social center was constructed near the church.

## Church Building

Ground breaking began on the present day church on August 10, 1882, and took nearly 4 years to complete. In 1908, the church steeples, bells, Cupolas, and 6.5 ft diameter clocks were installed at a cost of €40,000. The massive church towers rise to a height of 217 ft.

### Restoration

On November 20, 2000, a storm with severe winds resulted in the removal of the cross and cupola on the left tower of St. Stanislaus. Restoration of the cupola was completed on July 11, 2003, at a cost of $300,000. Of that cost, only one third was covered by insurance. As a result of this restoration, the left and right cupola are no longer matching in color. In 2005, the church underwent its most extensive restoration and renovation in the churches history. The work included 8 new clock faces and 4 new clock bells in the clock towers. Restoration work to the church's 1893 Johnson pipe organ, maintenance to the stained glass and handmade wooden doors, a gold-leaf frieze applied to the vestibule and new lighting for the fountain statue. The total cost approached US$2 million.

## Present day

In 2009 Thaddeus Bocianowski was named only the seventh pastor of the historic parish. As part of the Roman Catholic Church's ongoing downsizing campaign, the church was re-designated "a shrine to St. Stanislaus and all Polish martyrs" and a Polish cultural center on October 11, 2009, ostensibly due to the declining populace, which had impacted attendance at the church. In 2008, the school on Wilson street was closed after enrollment fell to only 75. The school had lasted 127 years and was staffed by Felician sisters for its entire history.

J. D. Chakravarthy who played lead the lead role also provided the story, screenplay and dialogues for the film. But, he was not credited for his writing work in the movie credits. Producer Tammareddy Bharadwaja attributed this to him lacking the required money to put the movie titles or even marketing the film in newspapers.

## Soundtrack

## Release

The film released on 28 December 2000.

## Reception

A critic from Indiainfo wrote that "The photography is good. J.D. is okay as ever and the new face Priyanka is also okay. Watch the movie only if you have too much time to waste." A critic from Sify found Suri to be an underwhelming experience, overly reliant on familiar gang war themes, with a predictable climax and underdeveloped love story, despite some decent performances.
A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "If only the makers had done a little homework on the screenplay, it would have made an interesting movie." Andhra Today wrote "As the story lacks any novelty, the director's effort doesn't yield desired result. A good story would have won the director accolades. Choosing a subject similar to Ram Gopal Verma's "Satya" proves a minus point for the director".
