Wesley Ernest Brown (June 22, 1907 – January 23, 2012) was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. At his death at age 104, he was the oldest person to serve as a federal judge in the history of the United States, actively hearing cases until approximately one month before his death.

## Education and career

Born on June 22, 1907, in Hutchinson, Kansas, to Morrison (Morey) Houston Heady Brown and Julia Elizabeth Wesley Brown, Brown received a Bachelor of Laws in 1933 from the Kansas City School of Law (now the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law). He entered private practice in Hutchinson from 1933 to 1944, concurrently serving as county attorney of Reno County, Kansas from 1935 to 1939. He was the secretary of corporation and an attorney for Aircraft Woodwork Manufacturers from 1942 to 1944. He served as a lieutenant in the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. He returned to private practice in Hutchinson from 1946 to 1958.

## Federal judicial service
### Bankruptcy court service

Brown served as a Referee in Bankruptcy for the District of Kansas from 1958 to 1962.

### District court service

Brown was nominated by President John F. Kennedy on March 8, 1962, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Kansas vacated by Judge Delmas Carl Hill. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 2, 1962, and received his commission on April 4, 1962. He served as Chief Judge from 1971 to 1977 and as a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 1976 to 1979. He assumed senior status on September 1, 1979.

# Beauty School Dropout

"Beauty School Dropout" is a song from the musical Grease. It was written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, and was performed by Frankie Avalon for the film version and soundtrack album.

## Overview

In the musical, the song is the showcase piece of the Teen Angel, a phantom teen idol who makes his only appearance in the musical to sing the song. The Teen Angel is Frenchy's guardian angel, and script notes specifically identify him as a Fabian look-alike, dressed in all-white. The Teen Angel appears to Frenchy, who, having recently dropped out of beauty school out of frustration with her teachers, asks for a guardian angel in the mold of those seen in Debbie Reynolds movies. The Angel descends from the heavens, then pointedly sings to her that she lacks work ethic and suggests that she return to high school so that she might eventually qualify for a career as a stenographer later in life. Frenchy silently refuses and walks away, leading the Angel to close his number by lamenting her refusal to listen and ascending back to the heavens. (The lyrics are adjusted in the film version to leave Frenchy's decision unstated; the character's cameo in Grease 2 implies that she does not return until years later.)
Alan Paul, later a member of The Manhattan Transfer, originated the role on Broadway. It is not uncommon for the role of the Teen Angel to be held as a dual role by one of the other characters in the cast during stage adaptations (in Paul's case, he also appeared as bandleader Johnny Casino). Frankie Avalon (who, like Fabian, was a client of Bob Marcucci's during his heyday) filled the role for the 1978 film adaptation of Grease, a role he reprised on stage through the 1990s and early 2000s. Allan Carr, the film producer, did not seriously consider Fabian for the part mainly because Carr's earlier effort to manage Fabian's lounge act in 1974 left Carr unimpressed with his talent as a musician. The Wild Angels recorded an earlier version for Decca Records in 1972.

## Other versions

In the Noddy episode "The Tooth Fairy", a parody of the song entitled "Tooth Fairy" is performed by Johnny Crawfish, Whiny, Whimper and the Ruby Reds, with the lyrics altered to be about Johnny's first childhood encounter with the Tooth Fairy.
In 2012, the song was featured in an episode of the TV musical series Glee and in the related extended play soundtrack in a version sung by Darren Criss.
In 2016, Randy Rainbow parodied the song for six candidates for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination.
From 1972 through 1976, The New Dimensions, a group from the Chicago area, performed a '50s show featuring "Teen Angel" and the music of that era. Teen Angel, played by Pat Hysell, was a ghost of the '50s who reminisced of his days at the malt shop with Betty Sue and their dates at the drive-in theater. The band, led by Gordon Prigge included Hysell, Dick Gerlach and Jim Lyons performed throughout the Midwest for more than 25 years.
Sandy and Richard Riccardi parodied the song as "Tiki Torch Nazis", in reference to the neo-Nazi rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.

# (416400) 2003 UZ117

(416400) 2003 UZ$_{117}$ (provisional designation 2003 UZ$_{117}$) is a trans-Neptunian object and suspected member of the Haumea family, located in the Kuiper belt in the outermost region of the Solar System. It was discovered on 24 October 2003, by astronomers of the Spacewatch survey project at Kitt Peak Observatory, Arizona. The object may also be a non-resonant cubewano.

## Orbit and physical characterization

2003 UZ$_{117}$ orbits the Sun at a distance of 38.3–49.8 AU once every 292 years and 5 months (semi-major axis of 44.05 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic. Precovery images have been identified back to 2002.
Estimates for its diameter range between 138 and 423 kilometers. Two rotational lightcurves of the object gave a rotation period of 6 and 10.61 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.1 and 0.09 in magnitude, respectively (U=1/2). It has a spectral type of BB, with a grey/blue rather than red color.

## Origin

Based on their common pattern of infrared water-ice absorption and the clustering of their orbital elements, the other KBOs, 2003 UZ$_{117}$ appears to be one of the collisional fragments broken off the dwarf planet Haumea. The neutral color of the spectrum of these objects in the visible range evidences a lack of complex organics on the surface of these bodies that has been studied in detail for the surface of Haumea.
# Josef Bradl

Josef "Sepp" / "Bubi" Bradl (8 January 1918 – 3 March 1982) was an Austrian ski jumper who competed during the 1930s and 1950s. He was born in Wasserburg am Inn, Bavaria.

## Career

on 15 March 1936, he became the first man in history to stand to stand on feet a "flight" of more than one hundred meters at 101.5 m (333 ft) on Bloudkova velikanka hill in Planica, Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
On 15 March 1938, exactly two years later after historic jump, he set another world record at 107 m (351 ft), this time again on Bloudkova velikanka hill in Planica, Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
He won the ski jumping gold medal at the 1939 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Zakopane while competing under Nazi Germany in the wake of Austria being annexed in late 1938.
Following World War II, Bradl wasn't allowed to compete in 1948 Olympics because he was a Sturmbannführer in the paramilitary Nazi organization Sturmabteilung.
He returned to competition in the early 1950s and was the first winner of the Four Hills Tournament in 1952/53, this time representing his home country of Austria. He would earn one of his post-war victories at the Olympia hill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, West Germany in 1953 as part of the Four Hills tournament, then earn his final career victory the following year in Bischofshofen, Austria.
On 3 March 1951, at the International Ski Flying Week competition, he set his personal best at 130 metres (430 ft) on Heini-Klopfer-Skiflugschanze hill in Oberstdorf, West Germany.
After retiring, he became a ski jumping coach, coaching the national teams of Germany and Austria. He lived in Mühlbach am Hochkönig in the province (state) Salzburg where he died in March 1982.

Through People's Connected Earth, partners also collected stories and memories from the general public and people who worked in the industry.
# Grace Malie

Grace Malie (born c.1999) is a Tuvaluan climate activist. She has been quoted before the International Court of Justice, and she has presented her country's concerns before the United Nations. She is a youth delegate for the Rising Nations Initiative.

## Life

Malie was born in about 1999. She, and her family, lived on one of the islands that make up Tuvalu. She went to school on Fiji where the children, from Tuvalu, were teased as being from the "sinking island".
Malie is outspoken concerning the effect of climate change on her country. At the end of 2023, she was at COP28 in Dubai when she lobbied the British King Charles III. She was introduced to him by the secretary general of the commonwealth, Patricia Scotland, and Malie said she received the King's support.
Tuvalu's case against the countries who created climate change was being presented before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in December 2024 by Tuvalu's attorney general, Laingane Italeli Talia. A case was being made regarding the rising sea levels threatening Tuvulu and other members of the Alliance of Small Island States. Vanuatu had arranged for the ICJ to advise on the legal position of the countries who caused this damage. The court was told that this was the largest threat to the existence of the islands of Tuvalu. Professor Phillipa Webb quoted Malie as saying, "Tuvalu will not go quietly into the rising sea", and this was reported on by the media.
Tuvalu is preparing for the worst, as they are told, that their country may not exist in the future. One of the mitigations organised by the Rising Nations Initiative (RNI) is to make a digital record of everything on Tuvalu. RNI is concerned with preserving the sovereignty of the small nations at threat and their heritage project is intended to digitally capture a record of these communities. Malie is a youth delegate for the Rising Nations Initiative.
Malie has presented at TEDx London, and in September 2024 she and the prime minister Feleti Teo addressed a special U.N. General Assembly summit on sea level rise. She told them that Tuvalu had done little to cause climate change but it was being asked to take the most pain. She had three minutes and she was pleased that she received some clapping.
One of Tuvalu's concerns was the country's future status. Would the country exist after its islands were submerged? Malia's concern is what she will do. She says may have children in the future and then she thinks she would need to move to Australia as that country has agreed to give shelter to the people of Tuvalu. However, if she remains childless then she would be tempted to stay despite the risks and hardship. Decisions like hers are being shared by other families in her country.
