# Hermann Steudner

Carl Theodor Hermann Steudner (1 September 1832 – 10 April 1863) was a botanist and an explorer of Africa.

## Education and early work

Steudner was born in Greiffenberg, located in Silesia, but grew up in Görlitz. He studied botany, mineralogy, and medicine in Berlin and Würzburg. Among his professors were Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, and Carl Ritter in Berlin; and Rudolf Virchow, Franz von Rinecker, and Albert von Kölliker in Würzburg, where he began his friendship with Ernst Haeckel.
Having returned to Berlin, Steudner devoted himself to botany and published on Marantaceae. He was elected a member of the Berlin Society of Friends of Natural Science.

## Expedition to Africa

Heinrich Barth of the Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin convinced Steudner to participate in an African expedition to search for Eduard Vogel, whose traces had been lost in the Ouaddai Empire. This expedition was initiated by Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The expedition was led by Theodor von Heuglin and started on 4 March 1861 in Alexandria. After sailing over the Red Sea they landed at Massawa on 17 June 1861 and observed birds on Dahlak Archipelago. Their way through the Ethiopian Highlands led them to Keren in the country of the Bilen people, from where Werner Munzinger came to join them, and afterwards to Adwa, where they met Wilhelm Schimper. Here the expedition split into two parties. Steudner remained at Heuglin. They made a wide detour through the Galla country in order to search for Tewodros II of Ethiopia. After visiting Gondar and Magdala they came to Edschebet, where they were guests of Tewodros. From Lake Tana they turned north. By way of the Blue Nile, they reached Khartoum in July 1862.
Because of this detour, the leadership of the expedition was taken from Heuglin. They used the break to visit Kurdufan, where they followed the traces of Theodor Kotschy. On 25 January 1863 they joined Alexine Tinne on her tour up the White Nile to the Bahr el Ghasal. Steudner died of fever on 10 April 1863 in Waw near the Jur River.

## Honors

Steudner visited regions which had never been explored by a botanist before. Hence, his careful reports were of high importance. Renowned herbariums, such as Kew Royal Botanic Gardens London, Natural History Museum London, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle Paris, Swedish Museum of Natural History Stockholm, and South African National Biodiversity Institute National Herbarium Pretoria, keep specimens that he collected.
The Steudner's dwarf gecko (Tropiocolotes steudneri) is named after Steudner. Also, Karl Koch, a friend of Steudner, named the plant genus Steudnera (subfamily Aroideae, family Araceae) in honor of Steudner.
In Görlitz, a monument was erected, but it was largely destroyed in World War II to use the metal for military purposes.

The AllAboutJazz reviewer commented on the inevitable lack of tightness in some of the band performances, given a likely lack of rehearsal time, but summarized that "this is a very solid, solid outing". Herbie Hancock won the Best Jazz Instrumental Solo Grammy for "Speak Like a Child".

## Life

Born Gostyń, Stiller studied at the Bauakademie and was there, among other things, a pupil of Friedrich Adler. He received the State Prize of the Academy in 1875 – presumably for his Entwurf zu einer Kunst-Academie. He used the associated bonus for a study trip to Italy in 1876/77. Between 1878 and 1880, he worked under Wilhelm von Mörner on the planning and execution of the new building for the Reichsjustizamt in Berlin, Voßstraße 4/5.

In 1882, he became director of the Kunsthochschule Kassel, and from 1884 to 1903, he was the first director of the newly founded Kunstgewerbeschule Düsseldorf. He then settled in Cologne as an independent architect.
Stiller was a member of the Architekten- und Ingenieurverein Düsseldorf, where he served as chairman in 1893 and at times served as Vice-Chairman. After moving to Cologne, he transferred to the local Architekten und Ingenieur-Verein für Niederrhein und Westfalen. He became a member of the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA), and the local group of the BDA in Cologne later appointed him an honorary member.
Stiller was married to Erminia née Bumiller. Their common daughter Maria married the composer and conductor Rudolf Siegel and was the mother of the composer Ralph Maria Siegel [de].

# Kent Branstetter

Kent Branstetter (born February 3, 1949) is a former American football tackle. He played college football for the Tyler Apaches and Houston Cougars and later was a member of the New Orleans Saints, Houston Oilers and Green Bay Packers.

## Early life

Branstetter was born on February 3, 1949, in Galveston, Texas. He attended La Marque High School and is one of 11 of their alumni to play in the NFL. He played on the ninth grade football team as a freshman before being named starting fullback as a sophomore.
Branstetter also played linebacker, earning second-team All-District honors on defense as a junior while being first-team All-District on offense that year. In his senior season, he was described as "probably the finest defensive lineman in the conference," although he was limited due to injury and only named honorable mention All-District–South Zone at the position that year, additionally earning a second-team All-District selection at fullback.

## College career

Branstetter signed to play college football for the Houston Cougars but spent his first year at Tyler Junior College, starting for their football team at tackle. He joined the Cougars in 1969 as a sophomore and saw very limited action while playing as a linebacker, only playing for 12 minutes. He moved to defensive end in 1970 and ended up starting eight games at the position, helping them compile a record of 8–3.
Prior to the 1971 season, Branstetter was moved from his position at defensive end to defensive tackle. He started the whole season as their right defensive tackle and helped them compile a record of 9–3, being their second-leading tackler with 95 by the time they played Colorado in the season finale. Considered "the strongest Cougar of them all," according to the Tampa Times, Branstetter played in the Bluebonnet Bowl and was invited to the North vs. South Lions American Bowl, starting for the south team.

## Professional career

Branstetter was selected in the ninth round (216th overall) of the 1972 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints. He signed his rookie contract in April, two months after having been drafted. At the start of his professional career, his height was 6 ft 3 in, and his weight was 255 lb. He left the team's training camp in July. In mid-August, he was signed as a free agent by the Houston Oilers. Branstetter was released at roster cuts later that month.
Branstetter received interest from the New York Jets, New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers after his release by the Oilers, and signed with the Packers in April 1973. He switched positions to playing on the offensive line with Green Bay. Playing offensive tackle, he was released at the final roster cuts but was subsequently re-signed to the taxi squad. He was waived from the taxi squad on September 13 but returned about two weeks later and was activated in October. He made his NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs on October 14 and ended up appearing in a total of nine games as a reserve. Branstetter was released at the final roster cuts in 1974, ending his career.
