# Marvin Borowsky

Marvin Borowsky (September 28, 1907 – July 5, 1969) was an American novelist and a screenwriter of movies for RKO Studios, Columbia Pictures, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, and others.

## Early life and career

Marvin Sidney Borowsky was born on September 28, 1907, in the Atco neighborhood of Waterford Township, New Jersey. His parents were Abraham Borowsky and Rae Borowsky (née Friedman). During his early years, he grew up in Waterford Township; and later in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After finishing his schooling, Borowsky entered as an English major at Lehigh University. However, his passion lay in the arts, specifically the theater. This led to him direct plays during his summer vacations and under his direction, "the Arden Theater developed into a highly successful professional theater."
When he finished his bachelor's degree in 1929, Borowsky went to the Yale School of Drama (since renamed as the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University) and majored in play writing for two years. Then, he moved to New York, where he worked in different jobs throughout the years such as special lightning consultant, play reader and stage manager. In addition, "he wrote and sold two plays". "While impatiently awaiting their production, he developed an interest in writing for motion pictures, and fed up with the procrastination of New York producers, he and his wife went to Hollywood" in 1940.

## Later career

The two plays he sold in New York were never produced, but it did lead for him to get his first job at MGM Studios as a screenwriter. In the following years, he wrote around seven screenplays for different studios. Moreover, he also helped other screenwriters solve "their script problems", which led him to the decision of wanting to teach others "the art of screenwriting." Borowsky first "lectured on play writing" at the University of Southern California and then joined the "UCLA's Theater Arts Department as professor of creating writing" in 1961.
In addition, Borowsky was "a member of the board of directors of the Writers Guild of America and the Motion Picture Relief Fund" for many years. Aside from being a screenwriter, he was also a novelist as he wrote an Arthurian novel titled The Queen's Knight in 1955; and he was a "talented painter" whose art works were exhibited in several museums in California. On 1968, Borowsky took a sabbatical and traveled throughout Europe and Israel. During that period of time, he gathered material for a book he was writing, did interviews and lectured in "at the Tel Aviv Screen Center, and acting as a consultant to Israeli screenwriters."

## Personal life and death

In 1931, Borowsky married Maxine Levy, and they had a daughter and a son.
Borowsky died on July 5, 1969, in Los Angeles, California after a "two-month illness."

# Bon Air (Elkton, Virginia)

Bon Air, also known as the Adam and Susan Bear House and Bear Lithia, is a historic home located near Elkton, Rockingham County, Virginia. It was built about 1870, and is a two-story, central-passage plan brick dwelling with Italianate and Greek Revival style decorative details. It has a metal-sheathed, hip-and-deck roof, a rear two story ell, front and back porches, and two one-story bay windows on the front facade. Also on the property is a contributing two-level meat house/storage building. The house stands next to Bear Lithia Springs, a boldly flowing water source acquired by the Bear family during the colonial period and commercially exploited in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
# François Rousseau

François Rousseau is a professional French painter and photographer born in 1967.
He started in painting for almost ten years, before turning to photography in 1995. The link started when he discovered Patrick Grainville's novel, L'Atelier du Peintre (The Painter's Studio) when it came out in 1988 about the relationship of the painter to his models, of different backgrounds, who posed in the studio. It was as if the models had waited to be born and even chosen by the master. This resulted in Rousseau's work Atelier. Mikael Karlsson composed Life Class, a 25-minute musical work accompanying Atelier that became a vital part of the project. Photos from Atelier became a part of an exhibition at the Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris until April 2009.
He has photographed the 2004, 2011 and 2012 annual issues of Dieux du Stade, a popular series of nude and semi-nude calendars based on members of Stade Français, a Paris-based French rugby team. His work was also documented in famous Dieux du Stade book Locker Room Nudes.
He has photographed other athletes, most notably Olympic athletes Steeve and Christophe Guenot in 2004, many models and a number of Out magazine covers (like John Barrowman) and Vampires in L.A feature and major articles features like Chad White in the magazine. ORA was a successful photo book project in 2008 and the Wet Men book project.
François Rousseau's photos were used for the promotional launching poster of French gay Pink TV channel. His Habibi NYC and Amor Causa Brazilian shoots of individuals picked from the street gave him an independent profile.
On 5 October 2012 L'Express.FR and a top Parisian writer Isabelle Aithnard compared Têtu 2013 Calendar by Lope Navo to the longest running Les Dieux du Stade by the veteran French photographer François Rousseau's 2013 Calendar. Aithnard concluded she prefers Têtu Lope Navo 2013 Calendar for casting an exotic variety of exquisite Brazilian men who don't only appeal to gay men but also to straight women.

# Spent shale

Spent shale or spent oil shale (also known as retorted shale) is a solid residue from the shale oil extraction process of producing synthetic shale oil from oil shale. It consists of inorganic compounds (minerals) and remaining organic matter known as char—a carbonaceous residue formed from kerogen. Depending on the extraction process and the amount of remaining organic matter, spent shale may be classified as oil shale coke, semi-coke or coke-ash residue, known also as oil shale ash. According to the European Union waste list all these types of spent shale are classified as hazardous waste.
Oil shale coke is created by chamber ovens which were used for oil shale gas production. Vertical retorts create mainly semi-coke. Most solid heat carrier processes create coke-ash residue as the semi-coke created during the process is combusted for the process's energy needs.
Spent shale can be used as ingredients in cement or brick manufacture. In Jordan, usage of spent shale for the production of sodium carbonate, ammonium sulfate, and potassium sulfate has been studied.
# Fintona Pearses GAC

Fintona Pearses (Irish: Fionntamhnach Na Piarsaigh) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Fintona, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is a member of the Tyrone GAA county board and is named after the Irish poet and revolutionary, Patrick Pearse.
The club primarily concentrates on Gaelic football for both men and women, with boys hurling teams fielded at youth level. Its home venue is called St Lawrence's Park, located just outside the village on the Tattymoyle Road.
As of 2025, the senior Gaelic football team competes in Division 2 of the Tyrone All-County Football League as well as the Tyrone Intermediate Football Championship.

## History

Fintona Pearses was founded in 1917 and, despite some stop-starts in the 1920s, the club has been continuously active since 1932. At the time of founding, there was already a club in the village, Fintona Davitts, which had been in existence since 1907. The two sides met each other in competition twice in 1917. The Davitts club, however, went out of existence shortly afterwards. The club won the Tyrone Senior Football Championship in 1938, defeating Cookstown in the final. The last appearance in the senior club final was in 1979 when they lost out to Carrickmore.
A Tyrone Intermediate Football Championship title was claimed in 1978 defeating Killyclogher in the final. The club also won the Tyrone Junior Football Championship title in 1975 after beating Gortin in the decider.
In 2023, the senior men again won the Junior championship, defeating neighbouring parish Drumragh by a point after extra time and bridging a 45 year gap from their last championship win. This win meant promotion to the Intermediate league and championship for the first time since 2008. After the 2023 junior championship win, they represented Tyrone in the Ulster Junior Club Football Championship, a first foray into Ulster football for the club. After wins against Ballyhegan (Armagh) and Drumaness (Down), they were eliminated at the semi final stage by Blackhill (Monaghan). Also in 2023, the club's minor team won the grade 2 minor championship beating a Gortin/Glennelly amalgamation.
Fintona Pearses is the only club in Tyrone to have won the Senior, Intermediate, Junior, and all three Reserve Football Championships in its existence.

## Ladies Football

A separate Ladies Gaelic football club, of the same name, was founded in 1996 and competed in Tyrone competitions in 1997. In 2022, separate votes among the members of both the GAA & LGFA clubs approved a merger of the two clubs. As of 2024, the Ladies and Mens Gaelic football teams compete under a single Fintona Pearses GAA club banner.

## Camogie

Fintona was also home to the first camogie club in Tyrone, called Fintona Rose Kavanaghs which was founded around the same time as Fintona Davitts.

## Honours

* Tyrone Senior Football Championship (2): 1914, 1938
* Tyrone Intermediate Football Championship (1): 1978

# Bonde Farmhouse

The Bonde Farmhouse is a historic farmhouse located in Wheeling Township in Rice County, Minnesota, United States, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from Nerstrand. The private home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on April 6, 1982. The farmhouse is significant both for its association with a prominent Norwegian immigrant family as well as its local limestone construction and outstanding integrity.

## Structure

The Bonde Farmhouse is located off County Road 27 and Minnesota State Highway 246, just outside the town of Nerstrand. The building's siting on a hilltop location, alongside its stone masonry construction, make it a focal point for the farmstead and landmark in the area. The 2+1⁄2-story house is constructed of Nerstrand and Faribault limestone and its two sections form an L-shape. All windows and door opening on the west (front) side of the north ell are located below the central cabled roof while wider spaces are located between other openings. The two-over-two windows have stone sills and lintels. Small, slightly arched windows are centered in the gable ends. The front porch features turned posts, turned brackets and spindles along the porch frieze and is topped by a metal railing; it extends across the west side of the north ell. In 1960 a basement garage and 1-story addition were added to the rear of the building.
Four of the farm buildings located near the house comprise the core of structures built by Tosten Bonde during the 1870s and 1880s; Bonde's journal recorded the construction dates. These structures include a gambrel-roofed barn, built in 1870 and remodeled at the turn of the 20th century; an 1883 machine shed that was later turned to a garage; an 1886 granary; and an 1887 milk house. These buildings were included in the original nomination to the NRHP.

## History and significance

The site was originally homesteaded by Einer Bonde, who emigrated from Norway with his family in 1854 to farm in the Midwest. After a year in Iowa, in 1855 the family settled among the loosely organized Norwegian settlers in Wheeling Township. Einer's son Tosten acquired the farm in 1865 and built the large farmhouse in 1875, the same year his father, Einer died. Tosten Bonde kept thorough records of farm statistics, building improvements and family and local notes in a journal he kept in the 1880s. Tosten Bonde was a successful farmer and figured prominently in the history of the Norwegian community centered on Nerstrand. He founded the Wheeling Mutual Insurance Company in 1876 and served in the Minnesota State Legislature for two terms as a Representative and two terms as a State Senator.
The Bonde Farmhouse reflects the success of early Norwegian farmers who cleared and farmed the land of the area. The area surrounding Nerstrand and Wheeling Township became a close-knit Norwegian American community. At the time of its listing on the NRHP, Bonde family descendants still headed the Wheeling Mutual Insurance Company, farmed the original homestead and resided in the stone house.
# Frank Noble

Frank Noble (born 26 October 1945) is a former footballer who played as a full back in the Football League during the 1960s and 1970s, mainly with Peterborough United. He was born in Sheffield.
He started as a junior with Sheffield Wednesday, although he only made two Football League appearances for them, with his last appearance in 1965/66.

# Rudolf Kingslake

Rudolf Kingslake (born Rudolf Klickmann; August 28, 1903 – February 28, 2003) was an English academic, lens designer, and engineer.

## Early life and education

Kingslake was born in London, England in 1903 as Rudolf Klickmann. The latter is in all probability a re-transcription from Cyrillic of the traditional German-Jewish "Glückmann" meaning "lucky man". Kingslake studied optical design at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, under the eminent optical designer and theoretician Alexander Eugen Conrady, earning a master's degree, subsequently marrying Professor Conrady's eldest daughter, Hilda Conrady Kingslake, herself a prominent English-American researcher in the field of optics.

## Career

In 1929, Kingslake was invited to the United States to teach at the University of Rochester, where he founded the Institute of Applied Optics, now known as The Institute of Optics. In 1937, Kingslake became the head of Optical Design department of Eastman Kodak while continuing his teaching at the university.
In 1958, Kingslake and wife Hilda edited an unfinished manuscript by Conrady and published a sequel to Conrady's book, Applied Optics and Optical Design.
Since 1974, SPIE has awarded the Rudolf Kingslake Medal to recognize the most noteworthy original paper published in the society's journal, Optical Engineering.
Kingslake was active in The Optical Society, and served the Society's president in 1948-49. He received the Frederic Ives Medal in 1973 and was elected an Honorary Member of OSA in 1984. Both he and his wife were made Fellows of the Society; he was in the inaugural class of Fellows in 1959, and she was elected in 1966.
Rudolf Kingslake died on February 28, 2003, in Rochester, NY, at age 99, two weeks after the death of his wife, Hilda.
