# David Gottfried (politician)

David Gottfried is an American politician. A member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, he has served in the Minnesota House of Representatives since March 18, 2025, representing parts of Ramsey County. Gottfried was first elected by special election.

## Early life, education, and career

David Gottfried was born in Roseville, Minnesota, and attended Roseville public schools. He received a bachelor's degree in vocal performance from St. Olaf College and a Masters of Public Policy from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. Before entering electoral politics, Gottfried worked as a pro bono specialist at a local legal firm.

## Minnesota House of Representatives

After Representative Jamie Becker-Finn announced her retirement from Minnesota House of Representatives, two candidates emerged for the seat: Gottfried and Curtis Johnson. After the DFL endorsed Johnson, Gottfried withdrew from the race and did not appear on the primary ballot that August. Johnson was elected in November 2024 by over 7,000 votes, but after a judge ruled he did not meet residency requirements in the district, Johnson's election was invalidated and the seat remained vacant.
Governor Tim Walz called a special election for January 28, 2025, and amid a crowded field of candidates, Gottfried won the DFL endorsement. The other candidates then withdrew from the race. After the writ of election was ruled invalid, a new date was set for March 11, 2025, and Gottfried defeated Republican nominee Paul Wikstrom by a 40-point margin. His election returned the Minnesota House of Representatives to a tie between DFL and Republican control after the vacancy had given Republicans a one-seat majority.
Gottfried was sworn in on March 18, 2025. He sits on the Agriculture Finance and Policy, Education Policy, and Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy committees.

## Personal life

Gottfried lives in Shoreview, Minnesota, with his wife, Haylee.

# Naomi Overend

Naomi Overend (19 August 1900 – 24 October 1993) was an Irish philanthropist, filmmaker and motor enthusiast.

## Early life and family

Naomi Overend was born at Airfield House, Dundrum, Dublin on 19 August 1900. She was the youngest daughter of a solicitor, Trevor Overend and Bessie Anna "Lily" Overend (née Butler). She had two older sisters, Letitia born in 1880, and Constance born in 1894 who died in infancy. Initially Overend was educated at home by a governess, then went on to Alexandra College, Dublin.

## Philanthropy

Her philanthropy started at a young age, when at age 8 she organised a fete in aid of the Children's League of Pity, the junior division of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children which had been established by her mother. Overend worked alongside her mother at the Dundrum and Ballinteer District Nursing Association, taking over as president when her mother retired in 1962.
She also supported the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and helped her mother to set up the Women’s National Health Association.

## Filmmaking

Overend travelled extensively throughout her life, and documented her travels in film and photography. She was present in Kitzbühel, Austria, when the Nazis invaded in 1938, and she documented the event in photographs.
The Irish Film Archive in Dublin currently holds the Overend film collection, containing 38 films (some of which are promotional material not filmed by the sisters). The University of East Anglia has included Naomi and Letitia Overend as part of their 'Women in Focus' project, which highlights female filmmakers within archives.

## Motoring

Along with her older sister, Overend was a motor car enthusiast. In 1936 her mother gave her an Austin Tickford which she kept for the rest of her life, and a car that became well known around Dundrum and Dublin. Both sisters were members of the Irish Veteran and Vintage Car Club and the Leinster Motor Club. Overend developed an interest in cattle breeding at Airfield, particularly Jersey cattle. Her cattle were regular winners at the Royal Dublin Society annual spring show, with the cattle being recognisable by their Gilbert and Sullivan inspired names. Alongside her sister, Overend established the Airfield Trust to care for the farm and house, initially known as The Dromartin Trust. Overend travelled extensively with her sister, in Europe and internationally to India, Australia, and America. She was a keen skier, visiting Austria annually with friends until she was in her 60s.

## Death and legacy

Overend died at Airfield House on 24 October 1993. In 2006 Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council renamed Wyckham Way as Overend Way in recognition of the contribution of both the Overend sisters. The Airfield Estate archive, including Overend papers, from 1805 to 2001 is housed at the OPW-Maynooth University Archive and Research Centre at Castletown House.

# Renaissance Learning

Renaissance Learning, Inc. (also known simply as Renaissance) is a software as a service and learning analytics company that makes Pre-K–12 educational software and adaptive assessments. Renaissance employs about 1,000 employees in nine U.S. cities and subsidiaries in Canada, the United Kingdom, Korea, and Australia. The company is known for creating Accelerated Reader and Star computer-adaptive assessments.

## History

The company was founded in 1986 by Judith and Terrance Paul after Judith developed Accelerated Reader, originally named Read Up!, in the basement of her home in Port Edwards, Wisconsin. Judith designed Accelerated Reader to encourage her children to read more books. Read Up! changed its name to Advantage Learning Systems, Inc., in 1991. On September 25, 1997, the company had its initial public offering and was traded on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker ALSI. It adopted the name Renaissance Learning in 2001. In 2005, Renaissance acquired AlphaSmart for $57 million in cash and stock.
The company was publicly traded until October 2011, when Permira purchased all outstanding shares and maintained ownership of Renaissance until selling the company in 2014 to Hellman & Friedman for $1.1 billion. CapitalG, a sister company to Google and subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., became an equity investor in Renaissance in 2014.

## Reviews

In June 2016, the United States Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences in What Works Clearinghouse found Accelerated Reader to have mixed effects on comprehension for beginning readers. Some critics have observed that the company's programs limit a student's recreational reading to a list of books that fall in their book level, in order to accrue "points", and that the system trivializes books and undermines reading by reducing it to a competitive game. Susan Straight in The New York Times says, "the passion and serendipity of choosing a book at the library based on the subject or the cover of the first page is nearly gone, as well as the excitement of reading a book simply for pleasure. This is not all the fault of Renaissance, which I believe is trying to help schools encourage students to read."

# No, Not Much

"No, Not Much" is a popular song published in 1955. The music was written by Robert Allen Deitcher, the lyrics by Al Stillman. The most popular version was recorded by The Four Lads. It was one of a large number of Stillman-Allen compositions that were recorded by the quartet.

## Background

The song is an ironic protestation of love, in which the lover rhetorically denies his devotion, but then continually undercuts and enfeebles the denial, until the exact opposite is conveyed.

## The Four Lads recording

* The recording by The Four Lads was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 40629. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on January 28, 1956. On the Disk Jockey chart it peaked at No. 2; on the Best Seller chart, at No. 4; on the Juke Box chart, at No. 4; on the composite chart of the top 100 songs, it reached No. 3. It became a gold record.

## Cover versions

* Bing Crosby recorded the song in 1956 for use on his radio show and it was subsequently included in the box set The Bing Crosby CBS Radio Recordings (1954-56) issued by Mosaic Records (catalog MD7-245) in 2009.
* In 1969, the song was recorded by The Vogues. In the Vogues' version the lyric line: "Like a ten-cent soda doesn't cost a dime", was replaced by: "Like the song I'm singing doesn't mean a rhyme," because the former line was considered outdated.
* Also in 1969, The Smoke Ring recorded their version.
* Both of these versions, recorded in 1969, charted on the US Easy Listening and Hot 100 chart. In both renditions, the first two lines of the second verse are omitted and replaced by an instrumental.
* British singer Robert Palmer also recorded it for his 1992 studio album 'Ridin' High'.

## In popular culture

* This song also appeared in an episode of the TV show Scrubs. It was sung by Ted Buckland's hospital employee a capella band "The Worthless Peons" in the 4th-season episode "My Ocardial Infarction".
* It is also one of the songs of its era included in the Broadway musical Forever Plaid.
# Sarah Wynn-Williams

### Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

In 2025, she released a book about her career at Facebook. Facebook threaten legal action and an arbitrator prohibited Williams from promoting the book. Facebook is attempting to enforce a non-disparagement agreement.
