# Ray Shannon

Raymond Thomas Shannon (1 July 1917 – 7 June 2008) was a New Zealand butterfly collector who at one point had New Zealand's largest collection in private hands. His collecting began while on military service in WWII in the Solomon Islands, and continued for over fifty years. On his death his specimens were donated to the Auckland Museum.

## Life

Shannon was born in Ngāruawāhia, New Zealand, to Gertrude and Thomas Shannon. His childhood was spent in Hamilton, where he attended Whitiora Primary School and Hamilton High School, and later Wellington Technical College. As a young man he was a keen sportsman, excelling in rowing, swimming, rugby, and hunting. He graduated in 1940 from Victoria University College of the University of New Zealand with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Shannon joined the New Zealand Air Force in June 1942 as a radio mechanic, and served in Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. After the war he worked as an engineer in the Post and Telegraph Department for the rest of his career. He never married, retired to Birkdale, North Shore, and died in Tauranga in 2008.

## Butterfly collecting

As a young man, Shannon was an avid butterfly collector, and before his posting in the Solomon Islands in World War II he consulted with entomologists at the Plant Diseases Division of the DSIR, who supplied him with cyanide for killing insects. He converted large biscuit tins for butterfly storage by installing racks of card on which to pin his collections. On one occasion he observed a male birdwing butterfly from a sandbagged radar station 15 feet above ground. Shannon jumped off the embankment, net in hand, and caught the butterfly before hitting the ground. "The bruises were worth it," he later said. On the island of Malaita he observed one species, Mynes woodfordi, that congregated only in the tops of papaya trees, and constructed a special net with several bamboo pole extensions to capture one; the specimen many years later became the holotype of a new subspecies, which was named Mynes woodfordi shannoni in his honour. The butterflies Shannon collected were preserved in his storage tins, which were carried on boats and though surf from island to island throughout his military service.
After the war, he continued collecting well into his 80s, making expeditions to many tropical countries including Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Guinea, Japan, and Costa Rica. He eventually amassed 400 drawers of butterflies, approximately 13,000 specimens: possibly the largest private butterfly collection in New Zealand. Shannon was also an assiduous collector of reference books about Lepidoptera, and continued to purchase butterfly specimens from dealers after his declining health prevented further expeditions. On his death, his papers and butterfly collection were donated to Auckland Museum, and became the centrepiece for the 2018 exhibition The Secret World of Butterflies.

# Mac Hyman

Mac Hyman (born Mackenzie Hooks Hyman; August 25, 1923 – July 17, 1963), was an American fiction writer who is known for his best-selling novel No Time for Sergeants, which was adapted into a popular Broadway play and a motion picture.

## Early life and service

Hyman was born in Cordele, Georgia, where he discovered his passion for writing as a student in high school, and first displayed his skill in a humorous article published in the school newspaper. Following a year at North Georgia College and State University, he attended Duke University starting in 1941. He interrupted his studies to serve in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II as a photo navigator Lieutenant on B-29's and flew 29 combat missions over Japan.
When he returned to Duke in 1946 under the G.I. Bill, his talent was recognized by his creative writing professor, William Blackburn, who became his mentor and lifelong friend, and who eventually edited his collected letters. Just before graduating from Duke in February 1947, Hyman married his high school sweetheart, Gwendolyn Holt. In 1949, after the first of his three children was born, he reenlisted in the air force and served until 1952.

## Writing debut

Between 1947 and 1954, drawing heavily on his personal experiences from the army, Hyman worked on No Time for Sergeants, the misadventures of a country bumpkin draftee named Will Stockdale, whose hometown of Callville closely resembles Cordele, and who narrates his own story in an uneducated southern dialect. Several publishers rejected the manuscript before it was finally accepted by Random House and published in 1954. The popularity of the book resulted in a Broadway show and a film, which launched the career of Andy Griffith.

## After No Time for Sergeants

Hyman, who was living in Cordele with his wife and three children, had published just three short stories and was struggling with his second novel when he died of a heart attack in 1963, at age 39. That second novel, Take Now Thy Son, and a collection of Hyman's letters entitled Love, Boy: The Letters of Mac Hyman were both published posthumously.

## Other works and facts

His short story "The Hundredth Centennial" was published by The Paris Review in 1954. Another short story, "The Dove Shoot", was published in a collection of works by Duke authors in 1963.
Hyman's daughter Gwyn Hyman Rubio is the author of Icy Sparks and The Woodsman's Daughter.

# Razor's Edge: The Legacy of Iranian Actresses

Razor's Edge: The Legacy of Iranian Actresses is a 2016 documentary written and directed by Bahman Maghsoudlou. The film examines the Iranian film industry, starting in the 1930s and through the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The film features extensive interviews many with the actresses themselves, and clips from films.

## Background

The film focuses on the dual issues of the general attitude towards women (particularly women in the arts) in Iranian society and problems with censorship, the latter often arising from the former. The actresses and their male counterparts were so thoroughly blackballed by the Islamic government that it was even forbidden for the media to mention their names in print.
This film is the second in Maghsoudlou's series on Iranian cinema and the seventh in his series on important Iranian cultural figures.
The film is particularly notable for the number of actresses from the period in question who agreed to be interviewed for it, as well as the rare film clips that Maghsoudlou assembled to give non-Iranians the chance to glimpse a national cinema that has not been seen in many parts of the world.

# Machrihanish Farm Halt railway station

Machrihanish Farm Halt was a railway station situated at the road crossing near East Trodigal Farm and close to Machrihanish, Argyll and Bute. The Argyll Colliery with its rail connection was nearby. The Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway was a 2 ft 3 in (686 mm) narrow gauge railway in Kintyre, Scotland, between the towns of Campbeltown and Machrihanish.

## History

The station had no platforms and was located at a site where the train had to slow before crossing the road.
Upgraded from a coal carrying mineral lined and opened for passenger traffic in 1906, the railway did not have stations as such, just places where the train halted to pick up passengers. Many of the passengers were day trippers from Glasgow as a turbine steamer would bring passengers to Campbeltown early enough to catch a train to Machrihanish and allow a return journey all in one day.
Only three other passenger-carrying lines in the UK operated on the same gauge, all of them in Wales - the Corris Railway, the short-lived Plynlimon and Hafan Tramway and the Talyllyn Railway.

# Rayleigh interferometer

In optics, a Rayleigh interferometer is a type of interferometer which employs two beams of light from a single source. The two beams are recombined after traversing two optical paths, and the interference pattern after recombination allows the determination of the difference in path lengths.

## Principle of Operation

Light from a source (left) is collimated by a lens and split into two beams using slits. The beams are sent through two different paths and pass through compensating plates. They are brought to a focus by a second lens (bottom) where an interference pattern is observed to determine the optical path difference in terms of wavelengths of the light.

## Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of the Rayleigh interferometer is its simple construction. Its drawbacks are (i) it requires a point or line source of light for good fringe visibility, and (ii) the fringes must be viewed with high magnification.

# Saint Candidus (Ayne Bru)

Saint Candidus is a painting by Ayne Bru, conserved at the National Art Museum of Catalonia.

## Description

The knight, standing, is dressed in dark armour with a shield, halberd and sword, a fur-lined green tabard, a purple stole and a red cap with a medal featuring the bust of Christ. This is Saint Candidus, a warrior in the Theban legion who was martyred along with Saint Maurice. Like the panel of the Martyrdom of Saint Cucuphas, this painting was part of the old high altarpiece in the monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallès. Ayne Bru, one of the most important names from the Catalan Cinquecento, was a painter of Central-European origin and training whose work speaks for the influence of Flemish culture and of the art produced in Venice in the period straddling the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
