# Willem Huyssen van Kattendijke

Willem Johan Cornelis, Ridder Huijssen van Kattendijke (22 January 1816 – 6 February 1866) was a career officer of the Royal Dutch Navy and a politician. As an officer, he reached the rank of Commander. He was Dutch Naval Minister from 1861 to 1866, and interim Dutch Foreign Minister in 1864.

## Biography

van Kattendijke was born in Princenhage, Netherlands, as the son of Jan Willem Huyssen van Kattendijke, foreign minister of the Netherlands from 1841 to 1843. He entered the Royal Dutch Navy, becoming a midshipman in 1831, and attended the KIM (Royal Naval Institute) in Medemblik from 1831 to 1839. He became a lieutenant 2nd class in 1839 and served on various vessels until 1842. From 1842 to 1846, he was adjutant to the Director-General of the Navy, and aide to the Minister of the Navy from 1846 to 1849, and as an aide to King William III of the Netherlands from 1846 to 1851. He was promoted to lieutenant-commander 1st class in January 1851.
In 1859, van Kattendijke replaced Pels Rijcken as commandant of the Nagasaki Naval Training Center, teaching the principles of a modern naval science (navigation, cannonry, ship-handling) to samurai including Katsu Kaishu. He arrived as captain of the Kanrin Maru, a steam warship that had been purchased by the ruling Tokugawa shogunate of Japan.
He was promoted to commander on 1 May 1858. On the closure of Nagasaki Naval Training Center in 1859, he returned to the Netherlands. In 1860 he published a memoir of his experiences in and around Nagasaki in 1857-59, the last years of the isolationist Sakoku policy. A Japanese translation of his memoir was published in 1964.
From 14 March 1861 until 6 February 1866 he was Navy Minister for the Netherlands, first in the cabinet of Jacob van Zuylen van Nijevelt and then in the second cabinet of Prime Minister Johan Rudolph Thorbecke. In the latter he also served as interim Foreign Minister from 2 January 1864 to 15 March 1864. He died in The Hague as Navy Minister at the age of 50.

# Philipp Franz von Walther

Philipp Franz von Walther (3 January 1782 – 29 December 1849) was a German surgeon and ophthalmologist.

## Biography

He was born in Burrweiler. He studied medicine in Vienna under Georg Joseph Beer and Johann Peter Frank, obtaining his medical doctorate in 1803 from the University of Landshut. He subsequently served as a professor at the Universities of Bamberg, Landshut, Bonn (1818–1830), and Munich. Among his better known students were Johannes Peter Müller (1801–1858) at Bonn, and Johann Lukas Schönlein (1793–1864) and Cajetan von Textor (1782–1860) at Landshut.
Walther is best known for his pioneer work in ophthalmology and ophthalmic surgery. In 1826 he described the first tarsorrhaphy for closure of a portion of the eyelids for partial ectropion. In the treatise Ueber die Hornhautflecken, he gave an early account of corneal opacity.
With Karl Ferdinand von Gräfe (1787–1840), he was co-editor of Journal der Chirurgie und Augenheilkunde, an influential journal of surgery and ophthalmology. Walther is credited with performing numerous experiments involving medical galvanism.
He died in Munich.

# Philipp Forchheimer

Philipp Forchheimer (7 August 1852 – 2 October 1933) was an Austrian engineer, a pioneer in the field of civil engineering and practical hydraulics, who also contributed to the archaeological study of Byzantine water supply systems. He was professor in Istanbul, Aachen, and Graz.
Forchheimer introduced mathematical methodology to the study of hydraulics, thus establishing a scientific basis for the field. He graduated as engineer from the Technische Hochschule Zürich in 1873, received his doctoral degree from the University of Tübingen, and completed habilitation at the Technische Hochschule Aachen. He was the rector of the Graz University of Technology until 1897. In addition to his teaching, he worked as a consultant for underground construction projects. He made proposals for the construction of a tunnel under the English Channel.
In 1891, he took up a parallel appointment in Constantinople at the Ottoman School of Engineering, which he successfully re-organised in 1914. His work in Turkey led to a study of the Byzantine cisterns with the archaeologist Josef Strzygowski. In 1897 or 1898, he spent a month researching aqueduct systems at the Austrian excavations in Ephesus.

## Modification to Darcy's Law

Forchheimer proposed a modification to Darcy's Law, describing fluid flow through packed beds in 1901. This also had a significant influence on the development of the Ergun equation.
$-{dP \over dx}={\mu \over K}u+b\rho |u|u$
where:
$dP$ is the pressure drop across the bed, $\mu$ is the viscosity of the fluid, $K$ permeability (const.), $u$ is the (area-averaged) velocity of the fluid, $b$ is an empirical constant, $\rho$ is the density of the fluid.
A more general expression of the friction factor follows from Forchheimers modification:
$f={1 \over Re}+C$
where $Re$ is the Reynolds number and C is a constant.

# Bob Marcucci

Robert Phillip Marcucci (February 28, 1930 – March 9, 2011) was an American lyricist, talent manager, film producer, and the owner of Chancellor Records and Robert P. Marcucci Productions. He discovered and managed the careers of Fabian and Frankie Avalon, among others. The 1980 movie, The Idolmaker, is loosely based on his life in the record industry.

## Early life and career

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Bob Marcucci started in the music industry at age 25, as a songwriter, and subsequently borrowed $10,000 from his father to launch Chancellor Records.
He signed Frankie Avalon as one of his first acts, but by the time Frankie had reached the age of 19, his appeal as a recording artist had begun to wane and Marcucci was in need of a new star.
His next act was his neighbor's 14-year-old son. Marcucci's neighbor had suffered a heart attack, after which Marcucci went to help the family. He spotted the neighbor's young son and after the father had recovered, inquired as to whether the youngster would be interested in a career in music. Fabian initially declined but, because his family needed the money, eventually signed on as Marcucci's next act. After two years Fabian bought out his contract.
Marcucci was the long-time manager of Hollywood gossip columnist Rona Barrett. He was co-producer of the 1984 version of The Razor's Edge, starring Bill Murray in a rare dramatic role. The following year, he produced A Letter to Three Wives for television.

## Later years

In his later years, Marcucci continued to manage artists such as Danielle Brisebois, Ami Dolenz, Michael T. Weiss, Ron Moss and Cheryl Powers through his production companies.
Marcucci died on March 9, 2011, at a hospital in Ontario, California, of respiratory complications and severe infections.
# John (Jack) Todd

John Todd (May 16, 1911 – June 21, 2007) was a Northern Irish mathematician most of whose career was spent in England and the USA; he was a pioneer in the field of numerical analysis.
He was born in Carnacally, County Down, Ireland, and grew up near Belfast. He attended Methodist College Belfast after winning a scholarship. In his final year at the College he only studied maths as a result of his desire to become an engineer. He received his BSc degree from Queen's University in 1931, and went to St. John's College at Cambridge University, studying for 2 years with J. E. Littlewood, who advised him against getting a doctorate and just to do research.
He taught at Queen's University Belfast 1933-1937, and was an invited speaker at the 1936 ICM in Oslo on "Transfinite Superpositions of Absolutely Continuous Functions"
He worked at King's College in London for the years 1937–1939 (and again 1945–1947), where he met Olga Taussky, a matrix and number theorist (she had also been an invited speaker in Oslo). They were married in 1938. Todd returned to Belfast to teach at Methodist College Belfast 1940-1941. As part of the war effort, he had worked for the British Admiralty 1941-1945. One of Todd's greatest achievements was the preservation of the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach in Germany at the end of the war.
In 1945 the Todds emigrated to the United States and worked for the National Bureau of Standards. In 1957 they joined the faculty of California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
Todd retired from the faculty, and in May, 2001 was honored by a symposium at Caltech in honor of his 90th birthday. He was called Jack Todd by all who knew him. He died at his home in Pasadena, California on June 21, 2007.

# John Bermyngham

John Bermyngham or Bermingham (died 1415) was an Irish barrister and judge. He was one of the first Crown Law officers to be referred to as the King's Serjeant. He was later appointed Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, but did not take up the office.
He belonged to the prominent Anglo-Irish Bermingham dynasty, which acquired the titles Earl of Louth and Baron Athenry. In 1248 the Crown granted to Peter Bermingham and his heirs the lands at Esker, Lucan, Dublin to hold as tenant in chief. He and his heirs were required to perform knight-service in return.
He was appointed King's Serjeant in 1388; he was one of the first Irish law officers to be described as Serjeant, although the office itself dates from 1261. His appointment was limited to Dublin and the counties of the Pale. Hart notes that such local appointments were common at the time, reflecting the disturbed state of English rule in Ireland, when no one travelled from Dublin to County Cork without an armed escort, and at a time when Carlow, the seat of the Exchequer of Ireland and the Royal Courts, had recently been burnt. In 1391 he is found pleading a case between the Crown and the Prior of the Priory of All Hallows, which was situated just outside the walls of Dublin, as to the ownership of lands at Clonturk (corresponding with present-day Drumcondra), which the Prior claimed as lands of the Priory, but which Bermingham argued had reverted to the Crown.
He went to England to further his law studies in 1392 (Ireland at that time had no law school), having obtained the requisite official permission, along with his colleagues William Tynbegh and John Fitzadam. Hart believes that he acted as Serjeant until 1402, when he became second justice of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland). In 1404 he was one of four judges who tried an action for novel disseisin between Nicholas Crystor and the Stokes family concerning lands at Siddan, County Meath. He was chosen as Chief Justice in 1407 but he cannot have taken up office, since Stephen de Bray, appointed in 1403, remained Chief Justice until 1426. The two judges sat together the same year on an inquisition, requested by the Abbot of St. Mary's Abbey, Dublin to determine the boundaries of the township of Kilternan, which was the Abbey's property. John died in 1415.
He was probably the grandfather of Philip Bermingham (died 1490), Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. Richard Bermingham, who was appointed second Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland) in 1420, may also have been a relative.

# Philippe Vergne

Philippe Vergne (born 1966) is a French curator who has been serving as director of the Serralves Contemporary Art Museum since 2019.
From 2014 to 2019, Vergne was director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). He was the director of the Dia Art Foundation, New York from 2008 to 2014 and the deputy director and Chief Curator of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, from 2005 to 2008.

## Early life and education

Vergne was born in Troyes, France in 1966. He received a BA in law from Panthéon-Assas University, Paris, in 1988, a BA in archeology and the history of modern art from Paris-Sorbonne University, Paris, where he also got a MA in 1991 and a MAS in 1992.

## Career

Vergne became director of the newly created Mac (Musée d’Art Contemporain, Marseille) in 1994 until 1997.
Vergne then was hired by the Walker Art Center as a senior curator from 1997 to 2005. Francois Pinault then hired him to head the François Pinault Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris, but resigned the next year when the foundation decided to open its first space at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice instead. He came back to the Walker in 2005 as a deputy director and was the co-curator with Chrissie Iles of the Whitney Biennial in 2006. In collaboration with Yasmil Raymond at the Walker, Vergne arranged an award winning exhibition of the work of Kara Walker which traveled on to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. The exhibition titled Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love was awarded the 2008 Best Monographic Museum Show Nationally from the International Association of Art Critics. He was also responsible for the Walker’s acquisitions of works by popular living artists, including Doug Aitken, David Hammons, Thomas Hirschhorn, Pierre Huyghe and Luc Tuymans.

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles appointed him director in January 2014. In March 2018, Vergne fired Chief Curator Helen Molesworth. The New York Times reported that Vergne's action "became an embarrassment for the museum. Known for her acclaimed shows of Kerry James Marshall and Anna Maria Maiolino (and for not supporting an upcoming show of Mark Grotjahn, a board favorite), Ms. Molesworth was fired suddenly, for reasons that were never made clear, with the media spreading the news of her departure before a short official museum statement was made. Mr. Vergne never issued a public statement on the decision." In May 2018, it was announced that Vergne's MoCA contract was not renewed, and he departed the role in March 2019. Before his departure, and despite the controversy surrounding it, by February 2019 Vergne had already been hired as director of the Serralves Museum in Porto, Portugal.
