# Walter, Conston, Alexander & Green

Walter, Conston, Alexander & Green (officially Walter, Conston, Alexander & Green, P.C.) was a mid-sized full service New York–based law firm that existed from 1843 to 2001 when it merged with Atlanta-based Alston & Bird to launch the New York office of that national firm. The firm was formed with the merger of Walter, Conston & Schurtman established in 1955 by Otto Walter and Alexander & Green, an old-line firm established in 1843.

## History

Alexander & Green was the launchpad for three former law clerks who went on to establish Simpson Thacher & Bartlett in 1884. It has been claimed that Henry Alexander of legacy firm Alexander & Green represented Samuel Clemens in a contract dispute but this incorrect. It was attorney Daniel Whitford of Alexander & Green that represented Clemens' publishing Company Charles L. Webster Co. in 1885 and 1890. In a letter dated December 27, 1890, to Fred J. Hall, Clemens wrote "The real mistake was in trusting law business to an ignorant, blethering gas-pipe like Whitford. He is simply a damned fool-in Court-and will infallibly lose every suit you put into his hands." Alexander & Green later represented Mount Morris Bank in a collection action against Charles L. Webster Co. as part of the company's Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors filed in April of 1894. Clemens despised Mount Morris Bank and Whitford. In the later action Alexander & Green, through Whitford, was suspected of taking advantage of previous knowledge of Charles L. Webster & Company affairs in negotiations against his old client. It was a white shoe firm that was one of the first of such historically Protestant institutions to accept Catholic attorneys and graduates from non-Ivy League law schools in the 1920s. Walter, Conston & Schurtman was a firm with an international orientation. Otto Walter was a German-born Jew who was prohibited from practicing law in Germany upon graduation due to Nazi restrictions. He fled to the United States and studied law at New York Law School. In the post-World War II years, Walter assisted in German-American reconciliation as an adviser to the German Ministry of Finance on various taxation and legal issues. Later his law firm went on to establish a strong German, Austrian and Swiss practice with a roster of bluechip German clients including Bertelsmann and Beiersdorf. It also had special expertise in e-commerce law, pharmaceutical, intellectual property, and telecommunications. The firm numbered some 54 attorneys in its New York headquarters and branch offices in Darien, CT and Munich, Germany.
For a short time subsequent to the merger with Alston & Bird, in an attempt to preserve some of the name recognition of the well-regarded Walter, Conston firm, the New York office operated under the moniker "Walter, Conston, Alexander & Green, the New York Office of Alston & Bird." Since the 2001 merger, many of the attorneys that practiced in the international area during the Walter, Conston era have left the firm.
# Sutton Scarsdale

Sutton Scarsdale is a village in Derbyshire, England. It is in the North East Derbyshire district. It is very close to the M1 motorway. It is in the civil parish of Sutton cum Duckmanton.
The settlement is notable for a large, ruined former stately home called Sutton Scarsdale Hall. Near to the settlement are the villages of Heath, Temple Normanton and Arkwright Town. Scarsdale, New York is named after the village.

## Early history

This manor was in the Domesday book in 1086. Under the title of “The lands of Roger de Poitou” it said:
   In Sutton Scarsdale Stenulf had four carucates of land to the geld. Land for five ploughs. The lord has there one plough and six villans and one bordar with one plough, There is a mill rendering two shillings and eight acres of meadow. Woodland pasture half a league long and three furlongs broad. TRE worth forty shillings now twenty shillings.

## Bess of Hardwick

Bess of Hardwick built a house, "Oldcotes" or "Owlcotes", where Arbella Stuart stayed in 1603, south of Sutton Scarsdale. The building was completely demolished.

# Waldemar Christofer Brøgger (writer)

Waldemar Christofer Brøgger (5 December 1911 – 14 August 1991) was a Norwegian novelist, journalist, translator and editor.

## Personal life

He was born in Stavanger as a son of Anton Wilhelm Brøgger (1884–1951) and Inger Ursin (1882–1941). He was a great-grandson of the book printer Anton Wilhelm Brøgger, a grandson of geologist Waldemar Christofer Brøgger and a brother of writer Niels Christian Brøgger.
Between 1933 and 1941 he was married to Elin Amalie Thon, and between 1942 and 1948 he was married to Mai Lindegård. Finally, between 1948 and 1976 he was married to nurse Enid Wesenlund. He is the father of the geneticist Anton Brøgger, born 1934, the anthropologist Jan Brøgger, born 1936 and Inger Vibeke Brøgger Langfeldt, born 1940.

## Career

Brøgger took his examen artium in 1930, and took the examen philosophicum at the Royal Frederick University before taking up a career in writing. His début novel was Den evige vilje ('The Eternal Will', 1932). In the following years he lived in London, Capri, Paris and Berlin, but he moved back to Norway in 1937 due to the harsh political climate. He was hired as a journalist in Tidens Tegn, to which he previously had contributed from abroad. He became a theatre critic in 1938, but resigned in 1940.
During the Norwegian Campaign, as a part of World War II, he participated in the armed resistance that followed the German invasion. During the subsequent occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany he joined the civil resistance. He was arrested by the Nazi authorities on 15 September 1941. After spending five days at Møllergata 19, he sat at Grini concentration camp until 14 March 1942. Both his father and brother spent time at Grini as well. After his release, Brøgger fled to Sweden in 1943. Here he published books under the pseudonyms Carsten Frogner and Peter Valentin. The book Den osynliga fronten ('The Invisible Front', 1943) became controversial, as it was published in German language in Switzerland, and information in it could be used to crack down on Norwegian resistance fighters. Brøgger was acquitted during the legal purge in Norway after World War II, but sharply criticized in the Norwegian Authors' Union.
Nonetheless, Brøgger continued his writing career, releasing mainly historical novels and crime novels. He translated dozens of books to Norwegian, including One Thousand and One Nights which was released in six volumes in 1950. He edited or contributed to the encyclopedias Cappelens ettbindsleksikon (1955), Gyldendals navneleksikon (1958), Combi. Visuelt leksikon (1969–1970), Refleks leksikon (1972), and Cappelens leksikon (1983–1985). He worked for the publishing house J.W. Cappelens Forlag in this period. In his older days he retreated to Tjøme, where he died in August 1991.

# Whiskey thief

A whiskey thief is a tool that master distillers use to extract small portions of whiskey from an aging barrel for sampling or quality control. The old-fashioned ones are made typically of copper and resemble a drinking straw in design. It has a coned narrow hole at the bottom and a vent hole at the top in which a distiller can cover with the thumb once the device is inserted in the barrel to trap and lift the whiskey out. By removing the thumb from the upper vent hole, the whiskey is released to drain into drinking glasses for tasting.
This same tool can be used for sampling other distilled spirits or wine from large vessels, hence it can also be used as a wine thief. Newer models may be made of clear plastic or glass with the larger models having the capability of accepting a hydrometer for testing purposes.

# Suzanne Girault

Suzanne Girault (28 July 1882 – 20 September 1973) was a Swiss-born French politician. From 1923 to 1925, with Albert Treint [fr], she was one of the main leaders of the French Communist Party. She served in the French Senate from 1946 to 1958 as a member of the Communist Party.
She was born Suzanne Depollier in La Chaux-de-Fonds. She was officially the daughter of François Dépollier and Louise Tissot-Daguerre, but her biological father, who also would raise her, was Auguste Spichiger [fr], a Swiss watchmaker and anarchist. She left Switzerland for Moscow in the winter of 1899. She worked as a teacher there. She subsequently married a Russian Nicolas Frenkel and settled in Odessa; the couple had two children. At the start of World War I, the family moved to Kiev. During the October Revolution, she worked with the Bolshevik party without actually becoming a member. She joined the French Communist Group in Moscow and worked as a translator for the Communist International. She also was personal secretary for Angelica Balabanoff.
In the early 1920s, she was sent to France. She became a leader of the Seine Federation of the French Communist Party, serving until she was removed by Joseph Stalin in 1926. She remained head of the Women's Commission.
From 1946 to 1958, she was senator for the Seine department. She did not run for reelection in 1958.
In 1967, she was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by the Soviet government.
Girault died in Paris at the age of 91.

# Wallace D. Hayes

Wallace Dean Hayes (September 4, 1918 – March 2, 2001) was a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University and one of the world's leading theoretical aerodynamicists, whose numerous and fundamental contributions to the theories of supersonic and hypersonic flow and wave motion strongly influenced the design of aircraft at supersonic speeds and missiles at hypersonic speeds. This greatly enhanced the development of supersonic flight and supersonic aircraft design.
In a series of publications beginning in 1947 with his Ph.D. thesis under Theodore von Kármán at the California Institute of Technology , he developed a theory of supersonic flow called the area rule which strongly influenced the design of high-speed aircraft. His work also provided the first understanding of the behavior of delta wing aircraft flying just above the speed of sound.
He followed his work in supersonic flow with groundbreaking studies in the late 1940s and early 1950s in hypersonic flow, which is considered to begin at about five times the speed of sound, or Mach 5. He developed the Hayes similitude principle, which enabled designers to take the results of one series of tests or calculations and apply them to the design of an entire family of similar configurations where neither tests nor detailed calculations are available. Many of his developments appeared in his book Hypersonic Flow Theory, co-written with Ronald Probstein and first published in 1959.
He made important contributions to the understanding of sonic booms and served on numerous NASA advisory committees on the subject.
Hayes was born in Beijing, China and educated in California where he received his B.S. in physics in 1941 and his Ph.D. in physics, magna cum laude, in 1947 from the California Institute of Technology. His work in the aircraft industry began in 1939 with Consolidated Aircraft and continued during World War II as an aerodynamicist with North American Aviation. From 1952 to 1954 he was scientific liaison officer with the Office of Naval Research in London. In 1954, he came to Princeton University, where he taught until 1989. He also taught at the California Institute of Technology, Brown University, Delft Technical University, and the University of New Mexico at Holloman Air Force Base.
He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Physical Society(Fellow, 1986) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which honored him in 1965 with its Research Award.
Hayes was an active member of the Sierra Club since 1942 and an avid outdoor sports enthusiast enjoying rock-climbing, hiking, water sports, and skiing. He was also a glider and small airplane flight instructor.
He died on March 2, 2001, in Hightstown, New Jersey at age 82.

# Walsrode Abbey

Walsrode Abbey (German: Kloster Walsrode) in Walsrode, Germany, is one of the historic monasteries of Benedictine nuns on the Lüneburg Heath in North Germany which are collectively known as the Lüneklöster. Today it is a Lutheran women's convent that is maintained by the Hanover monastic chamber (Klosterkammer Hannover).

## History

The monastery was founded in 986 by Count Wale and his wife Odelint according to a decree by King Otto III and is by far the oldest in the former Principality of Lüneburg. Its patron saint is John the Baptist.
In 1482 a large part of the monastery was burned down following a lightning strike. Part of the brick walls and stained glass windows of the chapel are products of the subsequent late Gothic restoration. In 1626, during the Thirty Years War, it was plundered by Tilly's troops. During the period 1812-1815 the convent was closed and the monastery occupied by Napoleon for 3 years. Its chequered history ensured that many art treasures and the original structure of the building were destroyed, so that today it mainly comprises buildings from the 18th century, like the well-known Long House (Lange Haus) of 1720. The impressive refectory was an endowment from the last German emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II and his empress.
The introduction of the Lutheran Reformation in the 16th century into all six Lüneburg communities of nuns took several decades.
