# Blossom Seeley

Blossom Seeley (July 16, 1886 — April 17, 1974) was an American singer, dancer, and actress.

## Biography

Seeley was born Minnie Guyer (or Guiger) in New Haven, Connecticut, to photographer William F. Guyer (or Guiger) and his wife, Mertle F. "Minnie" Winson, who had married in 1880. In her teens, she was billed as "The Little Blossom" when she appeared at Sid Grauman's San Francisco, doing specialty acts. A top vaudeville headliner, she was known as the "Queen of Syncopation" and helped bring jazz and ragtime into the mainstream of American music. She introduced the Shelton Brooks classic "Some of These Days" in vaudeville in 1910, before Sophie Tucker recorded it in 1911.
Seeley was a major recording star, with a series of solo records in the 1920s, and her biggest hits included, "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans", "Rose Room", "Lazy", "Yes Sir, That's My Baby", and her signature song, "Toddling the Todalo". She was featured in singing roles in two pre-Code films in 1933, Blood Money (with George Bancroft, Judith Anderson (in her film debut), and Frances Dee), and Broadway Through a Keyhole (with Russ Columbo and Texas Guinan).
Seeley was one half of the vaudeville team of Blossom Seeley and Benny Fields. When they played the Palace Theatre in its Golden Era, they always had the number-one spot, even when sharing the bill with such stars as Jack Benny, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and George Jessel. In 1927, they filmed one of the first Vitaphone sound shorts, Blossom Seeley and Benny Fields in which Blossom introduced the song "Hello, Bluebird", later repopularized by Judy Garland in the movie I Could Go On Singing. The story of their marriage and career was made into the movie Somebody Loves Me (1952) with Betty Hutton and Ralph Meeker, which revived their careers and led to a string of TV appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Seeley and Fields also recorded three LP records in the 1950s for the Decca, MGM, and Mercury labels. Seeley continued to perform as a solo after Fields' death in 1959, and was one of the legends who starred on the 1961 CBS special Chicago and All That Jazz. She also sang on the accompanying Verve album, which was her first in stereo. She made two appearances on The Garry Moore Show and sang her version of the Frank Sinatra hit "My Kind of Town" on a 1966 Ed Sullivan Show. Her last TV appearance was with Mike Douglas, which he taped at the nursing home where she was living.

## Personal life

Blossom Seeley was married three times: to Joe Kane (né Joseph Cahen); to Baseball Hall of Famer Rube Marquard (né Richard William Marquard) of the New York Giants (a book by Noel Hynd detailing their relationship, Marquard and Seeley, was published in 1996); and to Benny Fields. She had one child, Richard William Marquard II.
On April 17, 1974, Seeley died at the DeWitt Nursing Home in New York City. She was 87 years old.
# Hibbertia cistiflora

Hibbertia cistiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a small, erect to low-lying shrub with linear to lance-shaped leaves and yellow flowers usually with four or six stamens arranged in a single cluster.

## Description

Hibbertia cistiflora is an erect to low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of 30 cm (12 in) and has wiry branches. The leaves are linear to lance-shaped, 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) long and 0.8–1.2 mm (0.031–0.047 in) wide on a petiole 0.2–1 mm (0.0079–0.0394 in) long. The flowers are arranged singly on the ends of branchlets and are sessile and there are usually three or four triangular bracts 1.0–1.3 mm (0.039–0.051 in) long. The sepals are joined at the base, the outer lobes oblong, 4.5–5.1 mm (0.18–0.20 in) long, the inner lobes egg-shaped and 4.2–4.5 mm (0.17–0.18 in) long. The petals are yellow, broadly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 4.5–12.4 mm (0.18–0.49 in) long with two lobes. There are usually four or six stamens in a single cluster on one side of the glabrous carpels.

## Taxonomy

This species was described in 1826 by Kurt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel in Systema Vegetabilium and given the name Pleurandra cistiflora from an unpublished description by Franz Sieber, but the name was illegitimate because it had already been used by Ludwig Reichenbach for a different species. In 1956, Norman Wakefield changed the name to Hibbertia cistiflora in The Victorian Naturalist.
In 1995, Hellmut R. Toelken described two subspecies, cistiflora and rostrata and in 2012, a third - subsp. quadristaminea. All three were published in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens and are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
* Hibbertia cistiflora N.A.Wakef. subsp. cistiflora has flowers with six stamens and leaves with scattered tubercles and a central vein not protruding and the tip of the leaf, flowering mainly from August to October;
* Hibbertia cistiflora subsp. quadristaminea Toelken has flowers with four, sometimes five stamens, and leaves with few tubercles and a central vein that does not protrude at the tip of the leaf, flowering from August to October;
* Hibbertia cistiflora subsp. rostrata Toelken has six stamens and a central vein that protrudes up to 0.6 mm (0.024 in) beyond the tip of the leaf, flowering mainly from September to November.

## Distribution and habitat

Subspecies cistiflora is widespread in the Sydney district and the Blue Mountains where it grows in heath, but has been recorded as far north as Werrikimbe National Park and from Braidwood to Nerriga in the south of New South Wales. Subspecies rostrata grows in heath on or near the tops of ridges in the Grampians of Victoria. Subspecies quadristaminea is found in low heath on the Central Tablelands of New South Wales.
# Eure Canal

The Canal de l'Eure (French pronunciation:), made necessary by the insufficient water supply for the Château de Versailles and the water features of its gardens, was designed for Louis XIV of France by his military engineer Vauban, based on preliminary surveys by Philippe de La Hire. The population of the town of Versailles multiplied by a factor of ten during the first decade or so of the court's residence. Having exhausted all the nearer water sources, Louvois, at the king's command, organized the planning of this "Canal Louis XIV", which was never in fact intended to be navigable. Its length was over 80 kilometers.
Waters of the Eure were diverted somewhat downstream from Pontgouin and were led to the Etang de la Tour, today in the department of Yvelines. The ruinously expensive project, worked on from 1685 to 1690, was never completed. Passing through the gardens of the château de Maintenon, purchased by Madame de Maintenon in 1675, its arches ranging in three colossal tiers, nevertheless seemed to François-René de Chateaubriand "a work worthy of the Caesars".

# Scott Yearwood

Scott Yearwood is a Canadian retired ice hockey goaltender who was an All-American for St. Lawrence.

## Career

Yearwood began attending St. Lawrence University in 1983 but didn't play with the ice hockey team until the following year. He was a serviceable goaltender in his first two seasons as a starter but the team improved mightily in his senior season. Yearwood's goals against average dropped by more than a full point and he finished in the top 5 in the nation. He was named an All-American while helping the Saints to their best finish in decades. In the ECAC Tournament, St. Lawrence made the championship game for the first time in 22 years and, though they lost, the team earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Larries had the misfortune to be set against the #1 seed and fell to eventual champion North Dakota. While Yearwood still have a year of eligibility left, he graduated in 1987 and was invited to Montreal's training camp. Nothing came to fruition and he retired as a player.
He moved to Ontario and began working as a sales representative. He spent several years as a senior account manager and eventually worked his way up to becoming a Vice President for Redwolf Security.

# SS Hansa (1899)

The Hansa was a Swedish passenger ship, in use on the route between the Swedish mainland and Visby. She was torpedoed and sunk by a Soviet submarine in 1944, during World War II.

## History and sinking

The Hansa was a passenger steamship built in Stockholm in 1899 for Ångfartygs AB Gotland, of Visby. She was built along luxury yacht lines and had dining room for 40 guests. In addition to sailing between the Swedish mainland and Visby, she also called at a number of other ports in the Baltic such as Danzig, Tallinn and Riga during the 1930s.
At 05.57 on 24th November 1944, the Hansa was torpedoed by the Soviet submarine L21 . The Hansa was sailing between Nynäshamn and Visby, and had clearly illuminated side markings in the Swedish colours, designating it a neutral ship, and was torpedoed in Swedish territorial waters. The Soviet submarine had followed the Hansa for more than two hours before firing three topedoes. One of these caused a large explosion, and the ship sank within a few minutes; 84 people died and two survived, including Swedish Army captain Arne Mohlin. The two survivors were rescued by the Swedish minesweepers Landsort and Arholma. Investigations after the war pointed to the Soviet submarine L-21 and its captain Sergey Mogilevskiy as being responsible for the sinking. In 1992, information uncovered in Russian archives confirmed the Hansa was sunk by the L-21.
The wreck of SS Hansa lies 44 km (27 mi) north of Visby at a depth of 100 m (330 ft). It was found in 1988.

## Commemoration

A memorial plaque in Visby Cathedral commemorates the sinking of the ship and the loss of innocent lives. The ship's bell of the Hansa is also preserved in the cathedral.

Born on 30 June 1916, to Agnes and James Douglas, who was a fishmonger. She was educated at Broughton School and the University of Edinburgh, where she was one of only five women in her class taking Law (out of 50 students), and was also caring for her mother.
In World War II, Douglas volunteered as a first-aider with the Women's Voluntary Service and later in the Auxiliary Fire Service.
Her career began with the legal firm, GW Tait & Sons and then was appointed to the Law Society of Scotland, the professional body, as assistant secretary responsible for legal education. She visited schools and universities across Scotland, assisting students. Her contribution was recognised by the President of the Law Society when she retired thirty years later:
   "Ethel’s work with the Law Society is well known. She has always been concerned with the examination and admission of entrants and her sympathy and understanding of their difficulties endeared her to all who came in touch with her. No one has been more ready to help and encourage so many entrants to the profession. The profession, and particularly the entrants who have qualified since the last war, owe her a deep debt of gratitude."
Colleagues in large numbers wrote on her retirement to the society, one saying 'no name in the whole legal profession so well-known and more affectionately remembered by generations of students.'

## Church service

Her father was a church elder, and in her youth, Douglas attended the Greenside Parish Church and became a girl guide and eventually guide captain. She first taught in the Sunday School, when she was seventeen years old and continued for twenty-five years.
She became the first woman elder at the church, in 1970 and served representing the parish for 31 years on the presbytery until retiring from the role when she was eighty-five years old. She had served as an elder for 50 years. She was the link person to St Columba's Hospice for twenty-seven years.
Douglas became president of the Woman's Guild in 1970.
Her death in a care home, was on 5 June 2020, aged 103.

# Cliff Abrecht

Clifford H. Abrecht is a Canadian retired ice hockey defenseman who was an All-American for Princeton.

## Career

Abrecht began attending Princeton University in the fall of 1982. The Tigers weren't very good in those years but, despite the team's lack of success, Abrecht played well enough to get selected in the NHL Draft. He was a solid player for Princeton over his first three seasons but Abrecht had a tremendous finale. While serving as team captain, Abrecht set new program records for defensemen with 15 goals, 26 assists and 41 points. He also became the program's all-time leader for goals, assists and points by a defenseman (he was surpassed in assists in 2019). He did all of that in just 30 games and was named an All-American, the first for the program in 33 years. However, because the Tigers finished 9th in the ECAC Hockey standings, they weren't even allowed to participate in the conference tournament. Abrecht signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs after the season, playing 1 game for the St. Catharines Saints.
The next season, Abrecht moved to Newmarket along with the team and played the entire season in the AHL, posting modest numbers on a team that finished dead-last in the league. His second full professional season went much better though he ended up splitting time between AAA and AA hockey. Rather than continue his career, Abrecht retired after the 1988 season.
Having earned a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Abrecht received an MBA from Babson College in 1990 and began his second career. By the 21st century, Abrecht had risen to the position of Vice President in the Merck Millipore company and continues to work as an executive in the field as of 2021.

## Personal life

Abrecht's daughter, Charlotte, played college hockey at Holy Cross, graduating in 2020.
