# Bruce Holsinger

Bruce W. Holsinger is an American author, novelist, and an academic and literary scholar. Currently, he is professor of English at the University of Virginia.

## Academic career

   Bruce Holsinger, a professor at the University of Virginia, started a hashtag called #Thanks for typing, collecting a series of notes by men in academia thanking their wives for typing their manuscripts, but rarely including their names...revealing an archive of unpaid and unrecognised academic labor hidden in the acknowledgments section.
He is considered an expert on the use of parchment in medieval English manuscript production, and organized, with bioarchaeologists from the University of York, the research project into uterine vellum which established the precise composition for the material used in for the creation of the earliest bible manuscripts.

## Novelist

The New York Times described him as "gamekeeper turned poacher", due to the fact that Holsinger, a professor at the University of Virginia, specializing in medieval English literature, turned to writing fiction based around his academic interests. His first novel was A Burnable Book in 2014. This was set in fourteenth-century England during the reign of King Richard II, and has Holsinger's protagonist John Gower—at the instigation of Geoffrey Chaucer—hunt down a supposedly revolutionary book, in which a series of poems predict the deaths of the kings of England. One of the most prominent characters is one Edgar Rykener—who is in-universe also called Eleanor—a man who dresses as a woman and has sex for money. This inclusion, says Holsinger, is directly based on the real-life case of John Rykener, which also occurred in 1394, the year Holsinger sets the events of his book.
In February 2018 Holsinger was appointed editor of the University of Virginia's peer reviewed journal, New Literary History; he is the third member of staff to take the position since the journal's foundation in 1969. He has written for the New York Review of Books, The Washington Post and op-eds for The New York Times.

# Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau

Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau is a German organ-building company based in Hamburg. It was founded in 1949 by Rudolf von Beckerath (born 19 February 1907 in Munich, died 22 November 1976).

## History

Rudolf von Beckerath was born in 1907 in Munich, the son of Willy von Beckerath, a painter, and Luise née Schultz, a pianist. Soon after his birth his parents moved to Hamburg. There he went to school and began training as a mechanical engineer, but then switched to organ building, being impressed by organs built by Arp Schnitger. On the recommendation of Hans Henny Jahnn, he finally went to France in 1929 to put the necessary finishing touches on his training at Victor Gonzales' organ-building in Châtillon-sous-Bagneux, near Paris. After completing his apprenticeship, he worked for a brief time with Frobenius Orgelbyggeri in Denmark, where he took part in building the great organ of the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen.
In 1931 Gonzales asked him to return, and he became a partner in the company. However, in 1935, as a result of the French sanctions against German businesses and business people, he parted amicably from the Paris company and returned to Germany. There he initially worked as an independent consultant in Hamburg, designing the organ for the Christuskirche (Christ Church) in Othmarschen.
In 1938 he was appointed to an official position advising on organs and bells for the Reich Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs and in 1939 moved to Berlin.
In 1941 he was called up for military service in the Wehrmacht and in 1945 was captured by the Americans. Released in May 1946, he first returned to Munich, and resumed working as an organ consultant. His reports on numerous organs in North Germany in the post-war period are valuable documentation.
However, in 1949, he finally succeeded after many difficulties in passing his master's examination, required for him to work independently as an organ builder. His international career began in the 1950s.
Rudolf von Beckerath died in 1976 and the business was converted into a limited liability company headed by his wife and closest associates. Managing directors Helmut Kleemann and Herta Deichmann retired in 1987 and 1990 respectively, and Timm Sckopp, a former apprentice of von Beckerath, took over the management of the company. In 1995, von Beckerath's widow Veronika gave up control of the company: Sckopp handed over the organ-building division to Rolf Miehl, and Holger Redlich took over the business aspect. Both had been members of the board since 1995. In 2001, with assistance from the investor Whitney Reader, they bought out the business.

# Little Egypt, Texas

Little Egypt was an African-American community in Texas which was founded after the Civil War and continued until the sale of the land in 1962. The roughly thirty-five acre neighborhood was located within Dallas city limits, north of Northwest Highway. Large homes and the Northlake Shopping Center currently occupy the site. Professors Clive Siegle and Tim Sullivan of Richland College led a project to discover what happened to the families after they left Little Egypt. Some of the original settlers were tracked to an neglected and vandalized cemetery in the area. The project also included an archeological survey of the only lot that had not been built over since the two houses that once there were bulldozed away. Siegle has found a few artifacts on the site.

## History

The land was originally deeded to newly freed forced laborers after the end of the Civil War. Jeff and Hanna Hill, the former slaves receiving the land, were released from chattel slavery when the Emancipation Proclamation was read out in Galveston on June 19, 1865. The community's name alludes to the Biblical story of the Exodus of Jews from Egypt where they had been slaves. The Little Egypt Baptist Church was built in 1870. The community's single school taught all grade levels. From early on, people in the community farmed as sharecroppers or worked on nearby plantations. The McCree Cemetery served the residents of Little Egypt.
As time went on and other neighborhoods got services like municipal or county services like running water, waste disposal systems, gas lines, paved roads and electricity, Little Egypt only got electricity. Rain could make the roads impassible, even though residents hauled discarded rocks in the attempt combat the mud. The church had no central heating or restrooms. Eventually, a wealthy white neighborhood surrounded Little Egypt and in November 1961, Little Egypt was rezoned for retail use.
In 1962, a consortium that wanted to build a shopping center on the land paid residents cash for their ramshackle homes. The group also paid for the residents' moving costs. Sarah Robinson, a trustee of the Little Egypt Baptist Church, advised residents to sell their homes in order to get a better deal than if they held on until they were forced out. The real estate deal took a year to finalize. All 200 residents moved away in a single day in 1962. Because race-based housing discrimination was still legal and barred them from moving to white neighborhoods, residents either moved to the nearby Cedar Crest neighborhood in Dallas, to Oak Cliff or into Rockwall County. Many residents apparently left eagerly because they were able to purchase modern homes with the money given them by the development group.

# Nowruz Khani

Nowruz Khani, or singing for Nowruz, is a Tabari Gilani tradition in which in the latest days of the year before the Persian New Year (Nowrooz), people go at the door of their neighbors and sing songs about the impending coming of the spring. According to this tradition, people hold lanterns and pay visit to all the houses in their neighborhood, while clattering two piece of wood together. When they come at a door they take permission for Nowruz Khani by singing: "O my sire, first I say you hail, O good-thought person, grant us an opportunity to sing some words to you". And if they get permission, which is usually the case except when the household visited is mourning for a deceased person or facing other extenuating circumstances, they sing songs eulogizing the Imams of Shiite Muslims. In return, they will be given a gift such as money, rice, or eggs.
Usually Nowruz Khans or singers, give a green stick of "shamshad" tree as a symbol for fortune to the household, and if they were not at home, put it in the porch of the house.
# Temiya Line

The Temiya Line (手宮線, Temiya-sen) was a local freight narrow gauge railroad in Otaru, Hokkaidō, Japan, connecting Minami-Otaru Station and Temiya Station. The line was a state-owned enterprise, originally established in the late 19th century to transport coal and marine products, and closed in 1985.

## History

The line was originally constructed as a part of the Horonai Railway, the first railway in Hokkaidō, and began operations in 1880. Like many other Meiji period railroad enterprises, the line uses 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge track over its 2.8 km route, in order to lower the cost of the original project. Though it was originally intended to extend from the seashore to the colliery at Temari-mura Kayanuma, this was deemed inefficient, as ships could do the same work. The Horonai Railway was sold to the Hokkaidō Colliery and Railway Company in 1889, and by 1906 the Temiya Line had come under government control, officially inaugurated under that name three years later. It carried both cargo and passengers, for nearly a century. Elements of service in the area, on the Temiya Line and other related lines, were discontinued in 1962, and the line formally closed in 1985.
Today, parts of the line still remain, along with signage in some places. The local Otaru Memorial Museum is caretaker of the remains.
