# Alexander MacPherson (explorer)

Alexander MacPherson (1835–96) was on the Burke and Wills expedition support expedition from the Murray River to Coopers Creek, in September 1860.
He and Trouper Lyons became lost in the stoney desert south of Coopers Creek and were saved by a Barkinji guide called Dick. When they became lost and desperately short of provisions and water, Dick conveyed them to the care of local Aborigines (probably relatives) walked for eight days after having run his horse into the ground, and called for help.
# Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act

The Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act (FLCRA) — P.L. 88-582 (September 7, 1964, as amended) — regulated the activities of farm labor contractors, that is, agents who recruit and are otherwise engaged in the transport, housing, and employment of migratory agricultural workers. Under FLCRA, farm labor contractors were required to secure certification through the United States Department of Labor.
Strengthened by amendment in 1974, the Act became a target of growing criticism and, in 1983, was repealed and replaced with the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act (P.L. 97-470).

# Farrell Houses

The Farrell Houses are a group of four houses on South Louisiana Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. All four houses are architecturally significant Bungalow/Craftsman buildings designed by the noted Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson as rental properties for R.E. Farrell, a local businessman, and built in 1914. All were individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their association with Thompson. All four are also contributing properties to the Governor's Mansion Historic District, to which they were added in a 1988 enlargement of the district boundaries.
The house at 2109 South Louisiana is a two-story frame structure, its exterior finished in dark brown brick and stucco, with a large projecting gable section at the right front. Its roof has exposed rafter ends, and its recessed porch is supported by large Craftsman brackets. 2111 South Louisiana, also two stories, has an exterior of red brick and stucco, with three smaller gabled dormers, and a shed-roof porch. 2115 South Louisiana is differentiated from the first two by having a front-facing gable roof, with a clipped top, and a projecting gabled section on the left. The entrance is to its right, set under a shed-roof porch. The main house finish is red brick, with half-timbered stucco in the gables. 2121 South Louisiana is finished in dark brown brick, with brown-stuccoed half-timbered gable ends, and a cross-gabled tile roof with clipped gable ends that also featured exposed after ends and large Craftsman brackets.
# Alette Schreiner

Alette Schreiner, née Falch (18 May 1873 – 26 December 1951) was a Norwegian researcher.

## Personal life

She was born in Christiania as a daughter of district stipendiary magistrate Ingvald Falch (1825–1909) and Alette Louise Aubert (1850–1916). She was a great-granddaughter of Benoni Aubert. Falch grew up in Eidsvoll. Her brother Ingvald Falch, Jr. (1884–1962) followed their father in becoming a district stipendiary magistrate.

## Marriage and family

In September 1900 Falch married Kristian Schreiner, a civil servant. Their son Johan Schreiner became a noted historian.
Their son Fredrik Schreiner became a civil servant. His son Per Schreiner became an economist and civil servant.

## Career

She took her examen artium at Ragna Nielsens skole in 1892 and graduated with the cand.med. degree in 1899. She was also an intern at the hospital Rikshospitalet in 1900, before studying children's and women's illnesses abroad. She was never hired in an academic position, but conducted research together with her husband, who was a professor. They released textbooks on the human organism for university students in three volumes between 1918 and 1921, and a textbook for school students in 1923. Her most read book was Slegtslivet hos menneskene.
In the 1920s the couple became more involved in physical anthropology. She released Antropologische Studien an norwegische Frauen in 1924, Die Nord-Norweger. Anthropologische Untersuchungen an Soldaten in 1929 and two books under the moniker Anthropologische Lokaluntersuchungen in 1930 and 1932. Neither of them delved into the Nazi type of racial hygiene. Her husband and son were even imprisoned by Nazis in Grini concentration camp. However, Alette Schreiner held that all races contained elements with unsatisfactory genetics.
Schreiner also helped establishing Blindern studenthjem, the sole students' dormitory at Blindern. She died in December 1951 in Oslo.

# Alexander Goss

Alexander Goss (5 July 1814 — 3 October 1872) was the second Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Liverpool.

## Biography

Alexander Goss was born on July 5, 1814 at Ormskirk, Lancashire of recusant background, connected on both sides with old Lancashire families who had always been Catholics; his father was descended from the Gooses or Gosses, his mother from the Rutters. His maternal uncle, the well-known priest, Rev. Henry Rutter, sent him to Ushaw College, 20 June 1827, where he distinguished himself as a student. When he had completed his philosophy course he was appointed as a "minor professor" to teach one of the classes in the humanity schools. On the death of his uncle, he spent the legacy he received, in going to Rome, where he studied theology at the English College, and was ordained priest on 4 July 1841.
On his return to England, early in March, 1842, he was sent to St. Wilfrids Church, Manchester, but in the following October he was appointed vice-president of the newly founded college of St. Edward, Everton, near Liverpool. Fr. Goss held this office until he was chosen coadjutor-bishop to Dr. Brown, ten years later. He was consecrated by Cardinal Wiseman, at Liverpool, 25 September 1853, and as there was no pressing need of his services, he took the opportunity to pay a long visit to Rome. From 1853 he was Titular Bishop of Geras until, on 25 January 1856, he became Bishop of Liverpool by the death of Dr. Brown.
In politics, he followed the Conservative Party. Under his firm administration, Catholicity made great advances, many churches and schools were built, and the bishop proved an unflinching champion of Catholic education. His fearless denunciation of social evils, and his outspoken expression of opinion attracted the notice of the Press, and even The Times devoted special attention to his speeches.

## Affiliations

He was an accomplished scholar, not only in theology, but also in archæology, and he was an active member of the Chetham Holbein and Manx societies. For the first he edited "Abbott's Journal" and "The Tryalls at Manchester in 1694" (1864); for the Manx Society, Chronica Regum Manniæ et Insularum, with P. A. Munch, to which he made valuable additions. An account of Harkirke burial-ground for recusants, and an introduction written by him were published by the Chetham Society in Crosby Records (M.S., 12, 1887).
He collected materials for a history of Catholicity in the north, and edited Claude-Joseph Drioux's "Sacred History, comprising the leading facts of the Old and New Testament". For many years he suffered so much that his friend, Rev. T.E. Gibson, wrote of him (Lydiate Hall and its Associations, Introd.): "A prey to disease during the greater part of his episcopate, his life was the struggle of a fearless soul with bodily ailments and with the harassing mental anxieties incidental to his position."
Bishop Goss died suddenly at St. Edward's College on 3 October 1872, aged 58.
There are two paintings of the bishop at St. Edward's College, Liverpool.
# Farschweiler

Farschweiler is a municipality in the Trier-Saarburg district, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
# Alexander Kellas

Alexander Mitchell Kellas (21 June 1868 – 5 June 1921) was a British chemist, explorer, and mountaineer known for his studies of high-altitude physiology.

## Biography

Kellas was born in Aberdeen, Scotland on 21 June 1868.
Himalayan Club Vice President Meher Mehta characterized Kellas' papers A Consideration of the Possibility of Ascending the Loftier Himalaya and A Consideration of the Possibility of Ascending Mt Everest as "key catalysts in driving scientific thinking into climbing big peaks. His studies included the physiology of acclimatization in relationship to important variables like altitude, barometric pressures, alveolar PO2, arterial oxygen saturation, maximum oxygen consumption, and ascent rates at different altitudes. He had concluded that Mount Everest could be ascended by men of extreme physical and mental constitution without supplementary oxygen if the physical difficulties of the mountain were not too great."

## Legacy

In 1978, Kellas' suggestion was verified by Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler when they made the first ascent of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. However, Kellas was also one of the earliest scientists to suggest use of supplemental oxygen on high mountains such as Mount Everest; the first ascent of Everest and most subsequent ascents (as well as some ascents of lower peaks) have done so.
Kellas was a noted mountaineer. He had made at least ten first ascents of peaks over 6,100 m (20,000 ft) including Pauhunri, 7,128 m (23,386 ft), in Sikkim, which was the highest peak climbed up to that point, although this was only discovered 80 years later. He reached the summit on 14 June 1911, and this world summit record was only broken in September 1928 with the ascent of Lenin Peak.
Kellas died of a heart attack in 1921 near the village of Kampa Dzong, Tibet, on his way from Sikkim to the first expedition to Everest. He had had only a brief rest of 9 days after an arduous expedition to Kabru and was only a day's hike away from seeing Mount Everest for the first time.

# Fay Hield

Fay Hield (born 4 February 1978) is a traditional English folk singer and a Professor of Music at the University of Sheffield.

## Career

Looking Glass, released September 2010, was Hield's debut solo album. The material consists mainly of traditional songs and ballads. She started gigging her new album as the Fay Hield Trio, made up of Rob Harbron (English Acoustic Collective) and Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead). Hield was nominated for the Horizon Award at the 2010 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Hield was part of The Witches of Elswick, with whom she recorded two CDs in their six years together.
As researcher, Hield completed her PhD thesis "English Folk Singing and the Construction of Community" in 2010 at the University of Sheffield, then becoming a lecturer in ethnomusicology and music management in 2012 and Professor of Music in 2023. In 2021 she was awarded a Future Leaders Fellowship by UK Research and Innovation, to carry out a four-year research programme titled "Defining ethnomusicological Action Research through the regeneration of English folk clubs."
Along with her ex-partner Jon Boden, Hield helped to run two folk clubs – Royal Traditions (Dungworth) and Bright Phoebus (Sheffield). She also established a community music organisation in 2010, and ran the first Soundpost Singing Weekend in 2011.

In 2013 Hield in conjunction with the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) put together The Full English band to promote the launch of the society's on-line publication of their archive search engine. The band issued an eponymous album and toured providing a showcase for both the band and the archive.

## The Full English

Folk singer and scholar Fay Hield was commissioned by the EFDSS to create new musical arrangements, drawing on the archive material, to accompany the project. She assembled a collective of musicians to perform at the launch party in June 2013, but after creating a set the musicians decided to extend the collaboration by producing an album and touring under The Full English name in order to promote the archive. The tour visited 11 English towns and cities in autumn 2013. Alongside Hield, other musicians involved included Seth Lakeman, Martin Simpson, Nancy Kerr, Sam Sweeney, Rob Harbron and Ben Nicholls.
On the tour, The Full English group performed folk songs from the archive and other traditional sources. They subsequently won two awards at the 2014 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for best group and best album.

# Feather flowers

Feather flowers are artificial flowers created using feathers that are dyed, cut and shaped to resemble petals. Some artists are able to create very realistic looking flowers and leaves using feathers.

## History

The art of creating feather flowers was mentioned as early as 1873 in a book called Art Recreations published by Shepard and Gill in Boston.

## Mythology

The name of Xochiquetzal, the Aztec god of beauty, sexual love, and household arts, is translated from Nahuatl as "Precious Feather Flower".
# Felippe Cioffi

Felippe Cioffi was an American trombone soloist in the 19th century. He began a solo career in New York City and later moved to New Orleans and then to London, England.
"Cioffi appeared regularly at Niblo's Garden when he was in New York. In these settings [he] played arrangements of popular songs and operatic excerpts, among other lighter fare". By 1848 he was in London, playing as a member of Berlioz's orchestra at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, but he reputedly did not play the solo in the middle movement of the composer's Symphonie Funèbre et Triomphale because it was supremely taxing for the technique of the day.
Speaking of his earlier London performances, the British Musician and Orchestral Times in 1894 described Cioffi as "a marvelous player on the slide trombone. His silk hat was lined with newspaper cuttings relating to his performances, and he would sometimes give us a taste of his quality which would rather open our eyes." Louis Jullien employed Cioffi as a solo trombonist with his popular London dance orchestra, and Cioffi was professor at the Military Music Class at Kneller Hall, near London, from 1860 to 1866.
