# Roger de Bryon-Faes

Roger August Alfred Faes de Bryon-Faes OAM (2 October 1914 – 12 October 2001) was an Australian politician. He was a Liberal member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1961 until 1981.
He was born in Sydney to Roger August Faes, Count de Bryon Faes, who was with the Belgian diplomatic service, and Louisa Martha Clark. He was educated at St Aloysius' College in London and then Temple University in Pennsylvania, receiving his PhD in 1938 as a chemist and chiropodist; he qualified as a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago in 1943. On 24 December 1941 he married Mary Doreen Harding, with whom he had a daughter, Monica Mary (born 5 July 1943, died 21 September 2016).
De Bryon-Faes was a foundation member of the Liberal Party's Manly branch. He continued to be active in his various medical positions until 1960, when he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council. He was made party whip in 1970.

# Moldy figs

Moldy figs are purist advocates of early jazz, originally those such as Rudi Blesh, Alan Lomax, and James Jones, who argued that jazz took a wrong turn in the early 1920s with developments such as the introduction of printed scores. Blesh, for example, dismissed the work of Duke Ellington as "tea dansant music" with no jazz content whatever.
The term was later used by the beboppers with reference to those who preferred older jazz to bebop. During the post-World War II era there was something of a revival of "traditional" jazz, and bebop displaced swing as the "modern" music to which it was contrasted. More recently, Gene Santoro has referred to Wynton Marsalis and others, who embrace bebop but not other forms of jazz that followed it, as "latter-day moldy figs", with bebop now lying on the side of "jazz tradition".
Although the term was originally a pejorative, it has at times been embraced by trad jazz fans and players.
In Stan Freberg's recorded comedy sketch "Yankee Doodle Go Home", the fife player isn't happy with the drummer. "No, I mean when I accepted the gig I didn't know I was going to play fife with the kind of moldy fig drumming like what is going on up ahead there, man."
Early uses of the phrase can be cited as starting in 1945, as part of an article published by Esquire magazine about the first wave of jazz traditionalists and their non-acceptance of the bebop style. From 1945 to 2010 the appearance of the phrase had just more than doubled in the common language of all musicians, but in the slang of jazz musicians in particular.
Outside of the musical context, the term "moldy figs," sometimes spelled "mouldy figs" or "mouldy figges," can refer to an individual who is generally conservative and old-fashioned.
# Franco Evangelisti (composer)

Franco Evangelisti (January 21, 1926 – January 28, 1980) was an Italian composer specifically interested in the scientific theories behind sound.

## Biography

Born in Rome, Evangelisti abandoned engineering studies in order to dedicate himself to musical composition. In 1948 he became a composition student of Daniele Paris in Rome, where he also studied piano with Erich Arndt. In 1952 he moved to Germany, where he pursued advanced composition studies with Harald Genzmer at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg. Starting in 1952 he took part in the Darmstädter Ferienkurse, where he had the opportunity of meeting Werner Meyer-Eppler of the University of Bonn, thanks to which he began to be interested in electronic music. At the invitation of Herbert Eimert, in 1956–57 he worked in the electronic studio of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk in Cologne.
In 1957, the orchestral conductor Hermann Scherchen invited him to work in the Studio of Experimental Electroacoustics of UNESCO in Gravesano, where he became involved with biophysics and explored the possibility of directly translating brain impulses into sonic vibrations.
In 1960, together with other musicians such as Francisco Pennisi and Aldo Clementi, he founded the Nuova Consonanza association and, in 1964, the improvisation group of the same name.
In 1980, after nearly twenty years' work, he finished his book Dal silenzio a un nuovo mondo sonoro (From Silence to a New Sonorous World), which has come to be regarded as "an important record of one of the most radical minds of the Italian postwar avant garde". He died in Rome on 28 January 1980.

# Twentyfourseven

Twentyfourseven is a documentary-style reality show on MTV that documented the lives of seven male friends seeking fame and fortune in Hollywood. The show was described as a "real" version of Entourage, in the same manner that Laguna Beach is the "real" version of The O.C.. The show aired for eight episodes from December 6, 2006 to February 21, 2007.
twentyfourseven aired on Wednesday nights in the Ten Spot block after The Real World. The show faced low ratings and critical derision, and some viewers were suspicious that certain portions of the show were staged for dramatic effect; for instance, Greg Cipes was described as a singer new to the Los Angeles music scene, despite his acting in small live-action roles and voicing characters for animated series for several years.
In a rare move, MTV canceled the series without explanation after three episodes. Though the network refrained from airing any repeats, the series' subsequent episodes premiered each Wednesday afternoon on MTV.com. The iTunes Store hosted the show as well, but iTunes did not post any new episodes after its cancellation.

## Principal cast

* Matt Baker – actor
* Chris Carney – lead singer, The Prom Kings
* Greg Carney – club promoter, executive producer
* Greg Cipes – musician/surfer
* Frankie Delgado – club promoter/musician

# Twist of Fate (2011 TV series)

Twist of Fate is an American documentary television series that airs on The Weather Channel. It premiered on June 1, 2011.
The series follows survivors of natural disasters who were in severe danger at one point. In each episode, it details the split-second choices and twists of fate that got them to and out of those situations.

## Production

The series was put together using interviews with the survivors intermingled with actor portrayals of what approximately happened. An exception to this rule was an episode in season 2 which included footage from one of the survivors' helmet camera.

## Reception

The New York Daily News's David Hinkley gave Twist of Fate a generally positive review, stating that the series had "drama that feels so tense you'd almost think it was scripted". However, he didn't like that "the narration in "Twist of Fate" is turned up to full volume almost all the time", because "the stories don't need that kind of rhetoric to be compelling."
# Oliver Fernández (tennis)

Oliver Fernandez (Orizaba, 7 December 1972) is a former professional tennis player from Mexico. He was captain of Mexico's Davis Cup side. Today he is a businessman.

## Career

Fernandez had a good year on the juniors circuit in 1990, finishing the season as the number three junior in the world. He was runner-up to Andrei Medvedev in the Orange Bowl and made the semi-finals of the boys' singles event at the 1990 Australian Open. The man who beat him in the semi-final, Dirk Dier, had been his doubles partner when he made the 1989 US Open boys' doubles quarter-finals.
Also in 1990, Fernandez represented the Mexico Davis Cup team for the first time. He managed to defeat Marcelo Filippini of Uruguay in Mexico's World Group player-off win and appeared in three further ties during his career, from which he had two wins, over Diego Pérez and then Jaime Yzaga.
The Orizaba born player was a semi-finalist at his home event, the Mexican Open, in 1993. Fernandez defeated Franco Davín, Agustín Moreno and Alberto Berasategui, before falling to Thomas Muster. He was also a doubles semi-finalist at the 1993 International Tennis Championships in Florida, with Juan Garat as his partner.

# OpenWebGlobe

OpenWebGlobe was a project and technology for processing and interactively visualizing vast volumes of geospatial data in a 3D virtual globe, even the forks on GitHub are rather dead . The OpenWebGlobe virtual globe can have several data categories like image data, elevation data, points of interest, vector data, and 3D objects. Before streaming such massive and complex data over the internet, this data must be pre-processed. Such pre-processing usually comprises a transformation from a local to a global reference system, creation of pyramid layers or levels of detail (LOD), tiling of the data, and optionally compression and encryption. Recently, these algorithms were ported to high performance compute cluster using OpenMP and MPI and are also released as open-source. Because data sets are usually large, containing several terabytes, advanced out-of-core rendering mechanisms with a level of detail approach are used for visualization.
OpenWebGlobe is an open-source project. It is written in WebGL. The lead developer is the Institute of Geomatics Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (German: Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz).

## Developing Globe Applications

The OpenWebGlobe SDK is also a 3D engine on top of WebGL. With the OpenWebGlobe SDK it is possible to create custom virtual globe applications. This JavaScript "Hello World" example creates a virtual globe and adds an image and elevation layer:

# Ora F. Porter

Ora Frances Porter (1879–1970) was an influential figure in Bowling Green's African-American community, one of the earliest registered nurses in Warren County, Kentucky, and was the first African American Butler County native to earn a college degree. She is memorialized on a Kentucky historical marker.

## Biography

She was born October 15, 1879, the daughter of Sarah J. Porter in Sugar Grove, Butler County, Kentucky. She moved to Bowling Green at the age of 10. Her long-time residence there was a home located between 7th and College Streets across from Cecilia Memorial Presbyterian Church.
She earned her nursing degree in Alabama at the Tuskegee University School of Nursing. By doing so, she became "the first African American Butler County native to earn a college degree."
Earning a nursing education was difficult for African Americans at that time, according to Sowada.
   "During an era when jobs for African American women were primarily limited to domestic service, Porter graduated from Tuskegee Institute’s School of Nursing in 1904. Tuskegee’s School of Nursing opened in 1892, shortly after the first nursing schools for white women were founded in 1873 and the first nursing school for African American women was founded in 1881."
Following graduation, she returned to Bowling Green to serve as one two registered nurses at the private St. Joseph Hospital, which was operated by the McCormack brother doctors. She became an employee of the State Board of Health Laboratory, directed by Dr. Lillian South. Finally, she became a private care nurse.
She retired in 1960 but even after that, she continued to offer substitute care for registered nurses at Bowling Green's City-County Hospital as needed.
She was an organizer of the George Washington Carver Community Center, a local Interracial Commission after World War II. Porter also helped found the 1949 Interracial Commission. She died on February 4, 1970, and was buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery.

### Honors

A historical marker #2149 was erected in Bowling Green on College Street. At the dedication, 35 years after her death, the president of the Warren County Medical Society said, "We in the medical community think she is the first (registered) nurse ever in the state of Kentucky."

### Legacy

Robert J. Gates conducted an oral history interview with Porter's nieces, Alice Ruth and Shella Proctor. The file and recordings are available at Western Kentucky University, Manuscripts and Folklife Archives.
# Tyler's Ultimate

Tyler's Ultimate is a television show on Food Network hosted by Tyler Florence. The show focuses on making "ultimate" versions of popular or common dishes.
The show began as a secondary show for host Tyler Florence who was still making episodes of his original show, Food 911. At the time of its conception, Food Network became very active in creating traveling food shows. Tyler's Ultimate was unique in the regard that the host himself usually cooked on the program in addition to traveling. The original format of the show featured Tyler focusing on a particular dish for each episode. He would travel around the world to discover different versions of that dish, as well as its origins, in an attempt to discover the ultimate version of that dish. At the end of the episode, Florence would combine the recipes he learned through his travels and adding his own spin to create "the ultimate recipe," though some episodes simply had him eating the dish, not preparing it at all.
The show's format has changed; the traveling is removed as well as where the inspiration of the ultimate recipe came from, and Florence simply presents his version for the entire program, typically with more side dishes.

# Carl Christian Nicolaj Balle

Carl Christian Nicolaj Balle (1806–1855) was a Danish composer and editor of church music; he is noted for his Christmas compositions, including the hymn tune "Det kimer nu til julefest". He was born in Copenhagen, and served as a pastor in Vesterbølle and Nebsager.
# More Like Her

"More Like Her" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Miranda Lambert. It was released in September 2008 as the fourth single from her album Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It is the only single from the album to be written solely by Lambert.

## Content

"More Like Her" is a love ballad in the key of B major backed primarily by an acoustic guitar. In it, the narrator describes the details of a woman whose lover returns to his old girlfriend, who takes him back despite his cheating. The woman realizes she "should've been more like her" to keep him, but she could not, because she does not forgive him ("I should have never let you lie").

## Critical reception

Brady Vercher of Engine 145 gave the song a "thumbs-up" and said, "Lambert sounds great and sells the song with her performance, making for a worthwhile release." He also considered the song different from mainstream country music, saying "[I]t’s nice to see something sent to radio for its artistic quality rather than its commercial viability."
In November 2008, Lambert appeared on the CMA Awards to perform "More Like Her". The performance was well received by music critics. LA Times gave her the only A rating of the night's performances, saying that, "With just Lambert and her guitar, she was pure late-night resignation as she opened the song, turning bitterness into pure reflection." Chet Flippo of CMT.com spoke positively of the performance. "For me, it was watching Miranda Lambert sing an original song with her own guitar accompaniment. [...] That song contained what I wasn't hearing a lot of on the CMA Awards show: substance. And style. And personality. And grit." Country Universe stated that Miranda Lambert's performance (along with Carrie Underwood's "Just a Dream") was the best performance of the night. "With understated brilliance, Lambert shifted gears by offering her Texas twang on the stripped-down ballad."
"More Like Her" was nominated for Female Video of the Year in the 2009 CMT Music Awards.

## Music video

A music video was released along with the song, which was directed by Randee St. Nicholas. In the video, Lambert receives a pair of yellow canaries in a bird cage which she carries up the stairs. She sings in front of the stairs and in the attic of her apartment. Throughout the video, there are intimate close-ups of Lambert performing the song with an acoustic guitar. In the video, several positions of Lambert are shown at once, fading in an out to show a lapse in time. Behind her, people can be seen moving furniture into the attic. The video comes to an end when Lambert enters an elevator and the door closes.

## Charts

A week before its release, "More Like Her" debuted at number 54 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. On its twenty-second week on the charts, the song entered the Top 20 and debuted at number 99 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. After 27 weeks on the country charts, it peaked at number 17 in March 2009.
