# Joshua Kunitz

Joshua Kunitz (December 18, 1896-March 2, 1980) was an American professor and journalist.

## Biography

Kunitz was born in Russia, where he was educated at the Slonimskoye Realnoye Uchilishche. After immigrating to the United States, Kunitz received his doctorate from Columbia University, entitled Russian Literature and the Jew. By the 1930s, Kunitz was active in the Communist Party. He was briefly expelled from the Communist Party because of his opposition to the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers, but was reinstated in 1932.He visited Moscow in the spring of 1930 and again five years later, describing his second trip as "one continuous gasp of wonderment" The first trip was as a participant in the 1930 Kharkov Conference of Revolutionary Writers, organized by the International Union of Revolutionary Writers. He was part of a group of international writers touring Central Asia, with Kunitz and Louis Lozowick the only Americans invited.
Kunitz taught courses in Marxism and literature at a school organized by the John Reed Clubs. Kunitz was critical of the presence of party functionaries in the Clubs, who he thought did not contribute to the intellectual activities. Due to his academic background, Kunitz was regarded as the American Communist Party's expert on Russian literature. He served on the editorial board of New Masses. He covered the Moscow Trials in a 1936 series of four articles for the magazine. In his reporting, Kunitz expressed some skepticism about the Trials, and the subsequent controversy lead to the expulsion of New Masses editor Joseph Freeman from the Party. Kunitz published Dawn Over Samarkand in 1935, a book based on his travels to Russia and describing the emergence of Communism in the Far East after the Russian Revolution. He was also a member of Partisan Review's editorial board on its first issue.
Kunitz was appointed as a Russian teacher at Cornell University's Intensive Russian Language and Culture Program, a move that attracted criticism because of his Communist sympathies. He replaced Vladimir Kazakevich in the role, after Kazakevich was deported to the Soviet Union. In 1948, after breaking with the Communist Party, he was appointed to the Middlebury Russian School as the assistant to the director.In 1953, Grace Lumpkin testified that Kunitz had threatened to "break [her] as a writer" if she wrote anything the contradicted the Communist Party's line. Kunitz died in Rochester, New York on March 2, 1980.

Granville Hicks described Kunitz as "quiet and scholarly, gentle and dependable". Kunitz was also the uncle of journalist Edith Efron.

# Dionisio Gil

Juan Dionisio "Noni" Gil de la Rosa (December 5, 1852 in Concepción de la Vega, Dominican Republic – December 9, 1899 Cienfuegos, Cuba) was a brigadier general in the Cuban Army of Independence, and fought in the Cuban War of Independence.

## Biography

Gil led the Yateras combatants (sympathizers who were indigenous to the land) and formed the "Regimiento Hatuey" to fight against the Spanish, defeating them with machetes, and guerrilla tactics in the forgotten battle of August 31, 1895 dubbed "Sao del Indio". This regiment soon after was one of many other regiments to fight under General Antonio Maceo. Maceo's army of 600 plus men marched to his brother Jose Maceo's rescue in a forty-mile trek through the mountains, and fought the 1,200 Spanish men for thirty six hours. Antonio Maceo ordered then Commander Gil and subsequently the Hatuey Regiment to assault the Spanish armaments, the Spanish were then driven off with a machete storm. In recalling the battle Cuban Colonel Manuel Piedra wrote that he saw the "Dominican General Dionisio Gil flirt with death by prancing on his horse against the enemy lines". The first Dominican to whom a statue has been erected outside their country, and he also has the honor of being the first foreign born person to have a monument in Cuba. Made of bronze, and standing 6 meters high, Gil's statue is in the center of a local park in Cienfuegos, Cuba known as the Panteón de Gil (Pantheon of Gil) sculpted by Jose Villalta Saavedra and inaugurated on May 28, 1911.
Gil was a legitimate son of Dominican hero General Basilio Gil who lost his life while leading the historic uprising, on the night of August 26, 1863 and assaulted the Spanish Garrison in the La Vega Province, Dominican Republic. Dionisio Gil had no known interests in Cuba, and was seen as an "adventurer". He was known as the right-hand man to Antonio Maceo Grajales. Dionisio Gil was assassinated in Cienfuegos, Cuba by the local police, in an attempt of resisting arrest, and his murder was not believed to be politically motivated.
# PKP class ET42

The Soviet-made ET42 (also manufactured as NEWZ 112E) is PKP's (Polish National Railways) most powerful standard gauge electric freight locomotive. Due to its provenance, it is often referred to by its nickname of Rusek (Polish derogatory word for a native of Russia) or Czapajew (Chapayev) (Russian: Чапаев).

## Description

The locomotive's construction is based on that of the Soviet VL10 and VL11 (Russian: ВЛ10 & ВЛ11, respectively) and is characterised by its straightforward design as well as ease of use and reliability. The ET42 was designed to be a dual section locomotive from the outset, as opposed to the remaining dual section locomotives operated by PKP, such as the ET41 or ET40. For this reason a "single version" of the ET42 doesn't exist; nor is it possible to modify one of the sections to run as an independent unit. Since there aren't any empty spaces left by surplus cabs, the locomotive is much shorter than other dual section locomotives built from single units. The ET42 is also equipped with facilities for heating carriages and can therefore be used for hauling passenger trains. Moreover, it has five positions of excitation attenuation (from 83% to 36% of full field) which allows for higher speed on the track after the train accelerates.

## History

In 1969, the electrification of Polish Coal Trunk-Line between Upper Silesia and Gdańsk was completed, which made it possible to run freight trains with electric locomotives from Silesia to ports along the Baltic. Yet at the time, Polish State Railways did not have sufficiently strong locomotives in its stock that could handle the increasingly heavy trains on the route. The initial decision to serve this route by ET21 with multiple tractions resulted in shortages of locomotives. In the early 1970s, stronger two-unit locomotives were ordered independently from two suppliers: one in Czechoslovakia (ET40) and the other in the Soviet Nowocherkas Electric Locomotive Construction Plant (ET42). Originally, the Soviet locomotives were to receive the designation ET41, but their delivery was delayed and the designation was given to the new ET41 locomotive, constructed in Poland on the basis of the EU07 locomotive .
Fifty ET42s were purchased between 1978 and 1982 and were all based at the Zduńska Wola Karsznice depot. They were all built at the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Factory in the former Soviet town of Novocherkassk (Russian: Новочеркасск). The ET42's main role is hauling very heavy coal trains (up to 4,000 tonnes) along the routes leading from Silesia to the ports of Gdańsk and Gdynia. Four locomotives are no longer in PKP's inventory: ET42-003, ET42-033, ET42-043 and ET42-045 due to a rail accident. Now all locomotives are based in Zakład Taboru Tarnowskie Góry.
# Altaher Sharqawi

Altaher Sharqawi, (Arabic: الطاهر شرقاوي) Altaher Muhammad Hussein Sharqawi, an Egyptian novelist, graduated from the Faculty of Commerce Al-Azhar University. He was born in Armant, Luxor Governorate.

## Origin and beginning

The writer grew up in a simple environment and was influenced by this environment and by his mother. He was the son of a small village, in south of Egypt. He read books and magazines that he exchanges with his friends. He began his first attempts at writing in high school, where he composed poetry, imitating the poems he was studying, and their topics mostly revolved around the homeland, his beloved, and some religious poems. Then he discovered that poetry was unable to express what he had in mind, or perhaps it was because, he was unable to master the science of prosody perfectly, according to the writer. His Arabic teachers reviewed and corrected him, and they always encouraged him to continue with poetry, although there were many syllables with broken rhyme scheme in his pomes. Back then, the writer was not able to determine his destination, or what he wants to write, and he thinks he needs another type of writing more openness, at the same time gives him the ability to express himself, so they were primitive attempts in the short story. It developed into short story collections and then turned to writing the novel because he saw it is more comfortable than the short story and gives him more space and freedom to express. The short story is close to poetry with certain rules, while the novel has a space to highlight his skills as a writer and create a world and animate it at the same time.
