# Charles Loeser

Charles Alexander Loeser (January 11, 1864 – March 15, 1928) was an American art historian and art collector.

## Life

Charles Loeser was born in New York City on January 11, 1864, into a family of German origin: his father, Frederick Loeser (1833-1911), founded Frederick Loeser & Co. After completing his Master of Arts degree in Philosophy at Harvard University in 1888, Charles Loeser decided to travel to Europe and visit his friend and fellow Harvard alumnus, George Santayana.
Loeser settled in Florence in 1890, where he met and married German pianist Olga Lebert Kaufmann. He spent the rest of his life here collecting and studying Medieval and early Renaissance art and furniture. Loesser purchased his Villa Torri Gattaia, nestled in the Florentine hills behind San Miniato al Monte, around 1908 and started on renovations. In Florence, Loeser devoted himself to his studies and the collecting of works of art, and furniture that was flooding the market at the turn of the century.

## Collection

At his death, Loeser's collection totalled over 1,000 pieces. it contained over two hundred and fifty Old Master prints and drawings, numerous period furnishings, paintings, sculptures and works of applied art. Most were works of Italian Medieval and Renaissance art, but there were also contemporary works, such a collection of Cézanne paintings. Loeser was one of the first collectors to appreciate Cézanne. The whole collection was characterized by the austere sobriety with which these precious antiques and works of art furnished the various rooms of the villa.
Loeser died at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel during a visit to New York on March 15, 1928, and was buried at Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori in Florence. In his will, he directed that the collection of Old Master prints and drawings go to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, that the President of the United States would be able to choose eight of his prized Cézannes "to adorn the White House", and that the selection of over thirty works of art and period furnishings indicated by him should be bequeathed to the Florence City Council.
The Palazzo Vecchio took this collection which would later be known as the "Loeser Bequest". The Bequest still adorns the rooms of the Quartiere del Mezzanino of Palazzo Vecchio, laid out in line with aesthetic canons similar to those that characterized the interiors of the aristocratic mansions of Renaissance Florence, and which the collectors of Loeser's time tended to reproduce in their private residences. The collection was originally set up in the Mezzanino by curator Alfredo Lensi. He had the same vision that Loeser had arranged the space in the Florentine style which kept chronology and style separate from the aesthetic value of the works together. This collection can still be seen in the Palazzo Vecchio set up similarly to how Loeser would have lived with the pieces in his Villa.

## Breganze DOC

The area around Breganze is permitted to produce red and white Italian DOC wine. To be included in the DOC wine, the grapes must be harvested up to a maximum yield 14 tonnes/hectare (13 tonnes for the varietals) with the finished wine fermented to a minimum alcohol level of 11% (11.5% for varietals). A Superiore designation can be added if the wine attains a minimum alcohol level of 12%.
Red Breganze is composed of a minimum 85% Merlot with Marzemino, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rossignola, Pinot noir and/or Freisa permitted to make up to 15% of the remaining blend. For the white Breganze, a minimum of 85% Friulano can be blended with Vespaiolo, Pinot bianco, Pinot grigio, Riesling Italico, Marzemina bianca and Sauvignon blanc also potentially included in the blend to fill in the remainder. Varietal wines can also be produced, provided that the grape variety makes up 100% of the wine (the only exception are the two Cabernets which can be a blend of both) with the grapes held to a more limited yield restriction and higher minimum alcohol content. Most of these wines are produced dry, with the exception being Vespaiolo that can be produced in both a dry and sweet passito style wine. When Vespaiola is used to produce a dessert style wine from partially dried grapes it may be labeled as Torcolato.

# Charles Shaw (potter)

Charles Shaw (1832 – 5 March 1906) was an English potter, born in Tunstall, Staffordshire.
He is notable for his autobiography (When I was a Child), published by Methuen in March 1903 under the name "An Old Potter". Shaw was a staunch Liberal and believer in free trade, who intended to warn of the dangers of protectionism. Fellow Liberal Robert Spence Watson wrote the book's introduction, calling it a reminder of the condition of child labour in the 1840s and as an inspiration to improve children's conditions. However, despite Watson financing 1500 copies, Shaw's autobiography did not sell well. The novelist Arnold Bennett used the book as a source for Clayhanger (1910) and it was republished in 1969, since when it has received more attention and is
   ...now valued both as a moving firsthand account of child labour in the pottery industry, and as a narrative of his ‘pursuit of knowledge under difficulties’, inspired by the values of self-help and his religious faith, which enabled him to escape from a life of manual labour. The book vividly illuminates many aspects of Potteries social history, such as popular recreations, life in the workhouse, and the riots of 1842, in a way unequalled by any other source. The popularity of ‘history from below’, and academic interest in working-class autobiographies, have established When I was a Child as not only an essential source for Potteries history, but also a classic of its kind and a memorial to its otherwise obscure author.

# Charlie at the Sydney Show

Charlie at the Sydney Show is a 1916 Australian short film starring Charlie Chaplin impersonator Ern Vockler directed by John Gavin.
Unlike many Australian films from the silent era, a copy of this survives almost in its entirety.

## Plot

A series of adventures happen to "Charlie" as he visits the Sydney Royal Easter Show: he chases a couple of larrikins who have picked the pocket of a man visiting the show, encounters various side-show acts, fights a boxing lady, meets a confidence man, and chases girls. The movie ends with a chance and Charlie driving off with a couple in a motor car.

## Cast

* Ern Vockler

## Production

The film was announced in May 1916. Vocker was a Chaplin impersonator who had been doing a "Chaoplin stunt" in Sydney for the past ten months.
The movie was shot at the Sydney show. It contains the first film appearance of Arthur Tauchert, who was almost killed in an accident during filming.

## Reception

The critic from Punch praised the film saying:
   Mr. Gavin had unearthed a comedian of undoubted talent, who, with only slightly more experience in "Movie" acting, will soon eclipse the majority of the efforts, of comedians playing in imported films, and even aspire to be the equal of the great Charlie Chaplin himself. Mr. Gavin is to be congratulated on giving the public a decided novelty in films, and also on the extraordinarily heavy bookings he had already received for the exhibition of the picture in the N.S.W. shows. The scenario... contains many humorous situations... whilst the photography... is quite equal to anything yet screened in Sydney.

# Charm of Sound

Charm Of Sound association (Äänen Lumo) is the name of a Finnish association for Electronic Music and Sound Art, founded by Petri Kuljuntausta in 1995.
Petri Kuljuntausta's "Charm of Sound" is a 1997 text-based environmental composition in three parts, which is composed for the environment of outer space. It invites the living creatures of Saturn's moon, Titan, to perform this work by using all the suitable material, solid and liquid, found on the ground of Titan.

## Background

In 1997, the Cassini–Huygens spacecraft (Titan-IVB/Centaur) was launched from Kennedy Space Center, United States, and reached its destination, Saturn's moon Titan, on 14 January 2005. Inside the Huygens probe, stored on the CD-ROM, was Kuljuntausta's "Charm of Sound".
Petri Kuljuntausta has stated: "If we suppose that there is somebody in outer space who could find the Huygens probe and understand how the CD-ROM works, signs of English language and meaning of artwork, then the composition is possible to realise with very basic elements, liquid and solid materials (objects), which might be available on Titan's ground".
# Charmadi Ghat

Charmadi Ghat (Charmady) is a ghatti beginning from Belthangady taluk of Dakshina Kannada and ending in Mudigere taluk of Chikmagalur. It is one of the points in Western ghats through which motorable road passes connecting Dakshina Kannada with Chikmagalur district. The section of ghat is known by the name of Charmadi Ghat. It lies on National Highway 73 which connects Mangalore to Tumkur. The nearest places are Charmadi village, Ujire, Belthangady, Puttur, Kottigehara, Balur and Kalasa and Banakal.
Charmadi Ghat starts from Charmadi village (153 metres (502 ft) above the MSL) (11 km from Ujire) and ends near Kottigehara (970 metres (3,180 ft) above MSL)(16 km from Mudigere). Charmadi Ghat connects the north eastern part of Dakshina Kannada to Chikmagalur district and the prominent highway is connecting Ujire (9 km from Dharmasthala) to Kottigehara (about 50 km from Chikmagalur). Ballarayanadurga is a fort atop a hill located about 10 km from Sunkasale, on the Kottigehara - Kalasa route.
Ballarayanadurga fort can be accessed from 2 sides - the shorter route from Sunkasale, located on the way from Horanadu or the longer route from Bandaje. In the Charmadi ghat, there is a waterfall named Bandaje Arbi (arbi in Tulu means 'waterfall') which falls from a height of 200 feet. Gadaikallu peak has an elevation of 1700 feet.

## National Highway 73

The National Highway 73 (previously national highway 234) climbs the Western ghats from Charmadi. This ghat section has 12 Hairpin curves and receives very heavy rainfall of over 7000 mm during the monsoon. Some of the prominent peaks in this region include Jenukallu Gudda, Baalekallu Gudda and Kodekallu Gudda. In Kannada and Tulu, kode means 'umbrella', kallu means 'rock' and gudda means 'hill'. The roads in this ghat section are very narrow. Baalekallu Gudda is located at the 11th hairpin curve. On a clear day, the Mangalore coastline is visible from the top of Charmadi ghat. This ghat section is very deep compared to the other Ghat sections of Karnataka. Compared to other places in Dakshina Kannada, the winter is quite chilly in Charmadi because of the elevation.
