# August Kastra

August Eduard Kastra (17 October 1878 – 21 October 1941) was an Estonian journalist and a trade union leader. He was the first chair of the Confederation of Estonian Trade Unions in Estonia and a member of the Reval (Tallinn) Committee of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) in early 20th century. Imprisoned during Joseph Stalin’s great purge in 1936, he died in the Gulag concentration camp in October 1941.

## Early life

Kastra was born on 17 October 1878 in Dorpat (Tartu) into a family of a horse carriage driver. He attended the Hugo Treffner Gymnasium, but was expelled as the family could not afford the tuition. He then started working as a telegraph operator at Vegovo train station. During 1905 revolution, Kastra was a member of the city committee of the RSDLP, so he was arrested in 1907. Following the release from prison in 1908, August moved to Tallinn.

## Journalistic and political career

In Tallinn, Kastra worked in several newspapers (Trud, Tallinna Teataja), attending meetings of the then-illegal Bureau of Reval Trade Unions. In 1910, Kastra became a voting member of the Reval Committee of the RSDLP. In 1912, he became an editor of a worker’s newspaper, Kiir, in Narva.
Following a conflict with Jaan Anvelt, who wrestled the control of Kiir from Kastra in 1913, he was expelled from RSDLP in June 1917, however the workers of Reval still elected him to the Reval Council of Workers and Soldier Deputies, and then as chair of the Confederation of Estonian Trade Unions.
In August 1919, Kastra moved to the Soviet Union, where he re-joined the RSDLP. He continued his work in the Soviet trade union movement.

## Purges

In October 1936, Kastra was arrested by the NKVD. Following his arrest, Jaan Anvelt sent a letter to the NKVD accusing Kastra of being an Okhranka agent. On 1 June 1937, NKVD sentenced Kastra to 8 years in prison.
Kastra died on 21 October 1941, in the Sorok concentration camp “Shiznya” which was located in the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic.

## Rehabilitation

On the appeal of Kastra’s second wife, I. L. Kharitonova, Kastra was rehabilitated in February 1956 and then restored posthumously to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

# (In My) Solitude

"(In My) Solitude" is a 1934 composition by Duke Ellington, with lyrics by Eddie DeLange and Irving Mills. It is considered a jazz standard and has been recorded numerous times by artists such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.
Ellington reportedly composed it in a recording studio in 20 minutes, as his orchestra had arrived with only three pieces to record and required another. It is in D♭ major and follows an AABA form (although "the IV chord in measure 3 is replaced by a II7 the second time"). According to Ellington, the title was suggested by trumpeter Arthur Whetsel.

## Reception and analysis

An AllMusic writer describes the composition as "at once optimistic in its tone but somber in its pace, conflicted with the emotions of bitter loneliness and fond remembrance". The mood of the song is set "in the very first phrase of the melody, with its ascent to the leading tone of the scale falling just short of the tonic, and in the seemingly unremarkable chord progressions that nevertheless manage to transform harmonic resolution into wistful resignation."

## Recordings

The first recording of the song was by Ellington on January 10, 1934. His second version, from September of the same year, reached No. 2 on the charts in 1935. The Mills Blue Rhythm Band's rendition reached No. 8 that year. "Solitude" was recorded at least 28 times between 1934 and 1942. Vocalist Billie Holiday recorded the song several times in the 1940s and 1950s, "with the world-weariness of the words matching to an almost disturbing degree her late-career persona". One of her renditions was added to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2021. Writing in 2012, Ted Gioia commented that "for the most part, 'Solitude' serves as a tribute piece nowadays, often played in an overly respectful manner that captures more the sound than the spirit of [Ellington]".
# Lennik

Lennik (Dutch pronunciation:) is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Flemish Brabant. The municipality comprises the towns of Sint-Kwintens-Lennik, Sint-Martens-Lennik, Eizeringen and Gaasbeek. It is also situated in the Pajottenland. On January 1, 2006, Lennik had a total population of 8,694. The total area is 30.80 km$^2$ which gives a population density of 282 inhabitants per km$^2$.

# Li Tournoiement as dames

Li Tournoiement as dames (The Ladies' Tournament) is part of a medieval German short story collection called Mären. This collection was written (or at least composed), by an anonymous author shortly before 1300. While scholars have featured it as a type of French fabliau (being contested due to the varying ownership of Alsace-Lorraine), it has stood out as a "unique" or "experimental" text for its time. It is studied as a text in German and French Medieval literature.

## Plot

The characters in the story come from an elite/upper class status. Their society is composed of knights and is heavily involved in battle. Chivalry and honor are held in high regard. When their land is attacked the men are forced to leave for war, leaving the women behind in a community of their own. In this new society the women settle disputes by holding discussions among themselves, and leadership is won by developing the best rhetorical skills. During a debate on whether or not women gain or share the same honor as men a challenge is presented to the group, "the women are to put on the men's armor, mount the men's warhorses, and joust against each other in the pursuit of honor." In the battle the woman who wins is deemed the poorest among them, being forced to ride bearing the name of a famous knight, rather than a familial one. Once their victory story has traveled through the land and reached the famous knight, he comes to meet this poor maiden, pities her, gives her a dowry and marries her off to a rich man.

## Scholarly importance

This text gives insight to the marriage system present in medieval central European society, and its closes tie with the importance of status. It also reveals to what degree women may have been involved in medieval French militancy.
# Euphrasia stricta

Euphrasia stricta, the drug eyebright, is an annual forb in the genus Euphrasia.
It has been introduced in northeastern North America, where it is found in New England (except Connecticut), New York, Pennsylvania, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Quebec, the upper peninsula of Michigan, northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois. It is also found in Central Europe and Pyrenees
The preferred growing location is on moist, calcareous sands, such as those on some moors and dunes. The plant is a hemiparasite and can steal water and salts from grasses.

## Uses

Euphrasia stricta is used in herbal medicine to treat inflammatory eye conditions, most notably allergic conjunctivitis. The German Commission E did not consider there to be sufficient evidence to prove eyebright is useful for any condition. Human clinical trials are lacking to support traditional claims, though absence of evidence is not proof of inefficacy.
