# Louis Schneider (actor)

Louis Schneider (born Ludwig Wilhelm Schneider: 29 April 1805 – 16 December 1878) was a German actor and author.

## Biography

Schneider was born in Berlin, the son of George Abraham Schneider (1770–1839). At an early age he was engaged at the Royal Theatre, Berlin, where he soon rose to play leading comedy parts. His reputation as a comedian grew with his success in such roles as Zierl in the Einfahrt vom Lande, Peter in the Kapellmeister von Venedig, Schikaneder in his own revision of Mozart's Der Schauspieldirektor and Basilio in Le Nozze di Figaro, and he became the favourite of Berlin.
In 1845 he was appointed head of the Royal opera in Berlin. The same year he adapted Mozart's singspiel Der Schauspieldirektor, replacing Gottlieb Stephanie's libretto with his own which included the characters of Mozart, Emanuel Schikaneder, Mozart's sister-in-law Aloysia Lange among others. Schneider's version was first performed in Berlin on 25 April 1845. Ludwig's bold patriotic couplets and impromptus during the revolutionary year 1848 necessitated his retirement, and thereafter he translated and adapted for the stage Mozart's Cosi fan tutte; published, under the pseudonym “L. W. Both,” Das Buhnenrepertoire des Auslandes; and founded, as a result of his experiences as a soldier in the Danish war of 1849, the periodical Der Soldatenfreund.
He also wrote Geschichte der Oper und des Opernhauses in Berlin (1845–1852). Soon after his retirement he was appointed reader to Frederick William IV of Prussia, and subsequently he received the title of Geheimen Hofrat. He continued to enjoy the favour of the court, and, as correspondent of the Staatsanzeiger, was attached to the headquarters staff of the Prussian army during the campaign of 1866; and, by special invitation, accompanied the emperor William during the war of 1870. Schneider also wrote a novel, Das böse Glück, and several volumes of reminiscences: König Wilhelm (1869), Kaiser Wilhelm, 1867–1871 (1875). He died at Potsdam.

# Albrecht Tischbein

Johann Heinrich Albrecht Tischbein (15 November 1803 in Sternberg – 22 March 1881 in Rostock) was a German engineer and shipbuilder; one of the designers of the first German iron screw steamers.

## Biography

His father was the painter and art teacher, August Albrecht Christian Tischbein. His youth was spent in the port of Rostock, where he developed his interest in ships. With help from his cousin, the naval officer and engineer Gerhard Moritz Roentgen, he was able to train as an engineer in Seraing with John Cockerill. In 1821, he completed his course and worked in Rotterdam as a mechanical engineer, building steamships. In 1837, he constructed a wooden steamship for the Elb-Dampfschiff-Fahrts-Compagnie [de] in Magdeburg. From 1838 to 1849, he was the company's Technical Director. Under his leadership, the company produced 33 ships; 14 of iron.
1850 saw the creation of the "Rostocker Dampfschiff-Fahrt-Gesellschaft", with the goal of creating two iron steamships to provide regular service between Rostock and Saint Petersburg. After studying the situation there, Tischbein returned to Rostock and, together with the master shipbuilder Wilhelm Zeltz (1814-1864), established a shipyard and machine works. Their first iron ship, the "Grand Duke Friedrich Franz", was completed in 1851. It had 60 hp and could reach a speed of 9.25 knots. After only four years of service on the route, it was sold for financial reasons. Their second iron ship, the "Grand Duke Constantine", was completed in 1852. After that, Zeltz left to build wooden sailing ships. Tischbein remained as the Director until 1876. After several mergers and a buyout, his company became part of the "Actien-Gesellschaft Neptun" in 1890. The firm is still in business under the name Neptun Werft GmbH.
In addition to his ships, he also designed gas processing plants and steam pumps.
# Simone Mary Bouchard

Simone Mary Bouchard (1912–1945) was a Canadian painter and textile artist. She was known for her primitive style of painting.

## Early life

Simone Mary Bouchard was born in 1912 in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec. She began her career creating hooked rugs for the tourist trade.

Subsequently, Bouchard repaired textiles for Barbeau and produced rugs for Palardy.

## Art career

In 1937 her work was included in and exhibition of North American primitives.
Barbeau and Palardy became aware of Bouchard's paintings, which were naive genre scenes. The men brought her work to the attention of other artists and collectors.
In 1941 Bouchard was included in the Première exposition des Indépendants exhibition at Palais Montcalm in Quebec City. This exhibition was organized by Marie-Alain Couturier and included eleven members of the Contemporary Arts Society; Bouchard, Paul-Émile Borduas, Stanley Cosgrove, Louise Landry Gadbois, Eric Goldberg, John Goodwin Lyman, Louis Muhlstock, Alfred Pellan, Goodridge Roberts, Jori Smith, and Philip Surrey. The exhibition traveled to Montreal.

Bouchard died in 1945 of a lung ailment.
# Du Yu

Du Yu (223 – January or February 285), courtesy name Yuankai, was a Chinese classicist, military general, and politician of the state of Cao Wei during the late Three Kingdoms period and early Jin dynasty.

## Life

Du Yu was from Duling County (杜陵縣), Jingzhao Commandery (京兆郡), which is located northwest of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi. He married Princess Gaolu, a sister of Sima Zhao, the regent of the Cao Wei state from 255 to 263 and the father of Sima Yan (Emperor Wu), later the first emperor of the Jin dynasty (266–420).
A prolific author, Du Yu was a self-proclaimed addict of the Zuo Zhuan and wrote an influential commentary to it. He was one of the most important commanders under the Wei general Zhong Hui during the conquest of Wei's rival state, Shu. He also followed in leading an army in the Jin dynasty's conquest of the state of Eastern Wu. Du Yu managed to lay waste to the Wu army with great force within a few months, and received the surrender of Sun Hao, the last Wu emperor. His military achievements were all the more remarkable due to his physical weaknesses; it was recorded that he was unable to ride a horse or shoot an arrow with significant force.
Du Yu was also an ancestor of the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu, and his grandfather Du Shenyan. Unlike his predecessors, Du Yu used the Zuo Zhuan to comment on the Chunqiu Classic. He therefore combined the two books in one, which has been the common practice since.

The bank was able to distribute new notes and recalled the old one rendering a portion of the stolen money useless. Many people suspected IRA of being involved in the robbery and the peace talks that led up to Good Friday Agreement almost broke down as a result.

# The Gap in the Curtain

The Gap in the Curtain is a 1932 borderline science fiction novel by the Scottish author John Buchan. Part of the action is autobiographical, featuring the agonies of a contemporary up-and-coming politician. It explores the theory of serial time put forward by J W Dunne: Buchan had been reading An Experiment with Time.

## Plot

Buchan's novel opens with the narrator, Sir Edward Leithen, being introduced at a house party to the brilliant physicist and mathematician professor Moe. Moe has been working on a new theory of time, and believes he has found a way of enabling people to see, as if through a 'gap in the curtain', details of a future event. He enlists several of the house party guests into an experiment. For several days, each has to apply his whole concentration to anticipate what will be printed on a chosen page of The Times newspaper exactly one year hence. The subjects' efforts are to be supported by mental and physical preparation and by the taking of an unspecified drug.
The professor gathers his subjects together and urges them to 'turn their eyes inwardly' as they stare at a blank sheet of paper. He explains that they will each see some text which will appear in that future copy of The Times. Arnold Tavenger, a city magnate, sees a note of a great combine of all the michelite producing interests of the world; David Mayot MP sees a report of a speech in the House by a member who, completely unexpectedly, has become prime minister; Reginald Daker sees his name as a member of an archaeological expedition to the Yucatán; and Sir Robert Goodeve and Captain Charles Ottery both read the announcements of their own deaths. The effort of bringing this about proves too much for Moe and he dies on the spot.
The remaining chapters of the book follow the fortunes of the experimental subjects over the next 12 months. In each case the prediction comes true, though in an unexpected way. After a year of anticipation, Charles Ottery discovers that, as a result of a publishing error, the report he took to be of his own death is in fact a report of the death of another man of the same name.

## Critical reception

Writing in The Spectator, L. A. G. Strong called the book "confident, assured, and, within its chosen limits, masterly." JB Priestley for the Evening Standard suggested that Buchan's 'grand theme' would have been better as a single big novel with all the strands woven together, rather than what amounts to a series of short stories – "But I admire gallant versatility (which Mr Buchan has in abundance) and so I must not grumble. His Gap in the Curtain can be read with excitement and profit."
In The Interpreter's House (1975), David Daniell noted that this is a Huxleyish, complicated book which is heavy with satire about politics in England, international finance, and even about the motives behind interpretation. He considered it, like Buchan's The Dancing Floor, to be about insight, death and resurrection. The story of Charles Ottery is in his view "the one triumphant success in the book."
