# Mary Hamman

Mary Hamman (August 2, 1907 – November 18, 1984) was an American writer and editor. She was an editor for Pictorial Review, Good Housekeeping, Mademoiselle, as well as the modern living editor for LIFE and editor-in-chief for Bride & Home.

## Biography

She was born in Baltimore, Maryland, a daughter of Johns Hopkins clinician, Dr. Louis Hamman. Her move to Manhattan was during prohibition, which fueled many stories.
She was one of a "trio of formidable and colorful women", the other two being Mary Letherbee, movie editor, and Sally Kirkland, fashion editor. Together they led the "back of the book" at LIFE and were given free rein by Ed Thompson as managing editor and later editor in chief. When Thompson went on to found the Smithsonian Magazine Hamman would often write the humor page inside the back cover.
Jack Coggins, a friend from the days of LIFE and later a neighbor, said:
    I've never laughed more than at some of Mary's stories — they came out visually like comic strips. You could see her father's Christmas turkey from a grateful patient, safely anaesthetized, plucked and put over-night in the ice-box — until it leaped out at the first early riser and ran naked and squawking through the startled house...
Sho Sho (Mrs Colin MacLeod), a childhood friend from Baltimore, who with her husband was a neighbor in Manhattan and Bucks County, remembered a trip returning from New Hampshire:
    Mess loved her 1941 Buick — she kept it well into the 1960s. One summer she and I bought a flock of antiques in New Hampshire — so many that we had to buy an old trailer to get them to Bucks county. On the road down we were stopped twice by troopers and at every toll booth. "No trailers allowed, lady!" Each time she'd bat her eyes and smile, "But sir, this isn't a trailer — it's a furniture van."Either the rules didn't mention furniture vans or her smile was irresistible, because we made it to the farm by 3:00 a.m.
Hamman liked nothing better than a good prank or joke, as did her father. There are many stories similar to this one from her brother Louis Hamman, Jr., a surgeon:
    Years ago, I did a number of breast enhancement operations on go-go dancers (to help pay my daughter's tuition bills, I explained). Later, I received a letter from a Lydia Thomas of Philadelphia complaining that her breasts had continued to grow to their present monstrous size (photo enclosed, showing unbelievable mammaries) and that I had to do something to stop it. I wrote back, telling her to come in for an antidote shot, warning her not to smoke pot because it reacts with the Silastic to form an unusual growth hormone. The letter came back, "No such address." The photo, I later discovered, was cleverly mounted to look like a Polaroid, but actually was a ckip from a skin magazine. Mess said later that she felt I'd eventually smell a rat but concocting the letter had been such fun.

# Small nucleolar RNA SNORD64

In molecular biology, SNORD64 (also known as HBII-13) is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule which functions in the biogenesis (modification) of other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). This type of modifying RNA is located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA.
SNORD64 belongs to the C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.
snoRNA HBII-13 is expressed mainly in the tissues of brain, but is also in the lungs, the kidneys and muscle; however HBII-13 has no identified target RNA. The HBII-13 gene is located in a 460 kb intron of the large paternally-expressed transcription unit (SNURF-SNRNP-UBE3A AS) along with several other snoRNAs HBII-436, HBII-437, HBII-438A/B and the clusters of HBII-85, HBII-52. This host gene is an antisense transcript to maternally expressed UBE3A gene.

# Anta da Barrosa

The Anta da Barrosa, also known as Dolmen da Barrosa and Lapa dos Mouros, is located in the freguesia of Vila Praia de Âncora, municipality of Caminha, Viana do Castelo District, in Portugal.

## History

This is a megalithic monument constructed at the end of the 4th millennium BC (Neolithic period).
It has been classified as a National Monument of Portugal since 1910.

## Current status

Despite being a national monument, the Dolmen da Barrosa was located on private land and was practically hidden behind the high walls of a private estate.
The land where the monument is located was under legal dispute, and in 2016, the Caminha City Council paid a compensation of 240,000 euros.
The city council plans to remodel the entire surrounding area, planting native trees and removing an old skate track. The remodeling project arose from a proposal in the first Participatory Budget of Caminha. The investment is around 28,000 euros.
In a second phase, a Megalithic Museum Center will be constructed. The application for the Megalithic Center was submitted in 2016 to the 'Norte 2020' program, but the proposal has not yet been approved.

# Lightning machine

A lightning machine was a special effects device used in the film industry to simulate lightning flashes. It is part of the array of devices used to reproduce weather, exterior scenes, and other natural phenomena. These include the fog machine, wind machine, and storm towers. These devices were also employed in live showings of some cinemas, and in popular science exhibits. Accounts cited that the lightning machine requires a considerable amount of electricity, causing a noticeable drain on the lights. There was an incident when the enormous flashes it produced was interpreted as desperate calls for assistance by the fire department.
One of the earliest forms of lightning machines was recorded in ancient Greece. A list of stage contraptions, for instance, was described by Julius Pollux in his Onomasticon and part of this was the keraunoskopeion, which was a lightning machine.
# Konrad von Bussnang

Konrad von Bussnang (died December 20, 1239) was abbot of the Abbey of Saint Gall from 1226 to 1239. He descended from the barons von Bussnang from the Canton of Thurgau. He is first mentioned in records as provost in 1221.

## Works

Konrad was elected the new abbot by the conventuals of Saint Gall immediately after they had received the news of Abbot Rudolf von Güttingen's death (1226 in Rome). The rapid electoral procedure should prevent the interference of the ministeriales. Abbot Konrad had his election confirmed by King Henry VII in Überlingen. He purchased the lien for the monastery's bailiwick for 600 mark, whereby he wanted to prevent Count Hartmann von Kyburg's buying parts of it. He concentrated his duties on reducing the debt from his predecessor's, Rudolf von Güttingen's, reign. By means of an enforced additional tax, he was able to satisfy the creditors, a consortium of Italian merchants.
Being a loyal supporter of the Staufer family, Konrad became one of the most important advisers to King Henry VII after 1228, who, in thanks, gave him a farm near Kriessern. The bonds of loyalty were broken when Henry VII challenged Emperor Frederick II. Henceforth, Abbot Konrad belonged to the party that was loyal to the emperor. As a reward, the emperor supported Konrad's ambitions as heir of Friedrich von Toggenburg. Since the latter had been killed by his brother Diethelm II von Toggenburg, his parents transferred the property of Toggenburg and the city of Wil to the Abbot of Saint Gall. A conflict ensued about the heritage of Toggenburg that lasted for years and was finally, in 1236, decided by Emperor Frederick II in favour of the abbot .
Konrad von Bussnang maintained a costly household that, together with his war against Count Diethelm II von Toggenburg, devoured a considerable amount of money. He collected the necessary means from his subjects. When a number of Saint Gall's discontented citizens wanted to unite with the people from Appenzell, he had the houses of fifteen citizens torn down. Due to this uncompromising tax policy and his skilful acquisition policy, which was legally secured by a papal document on 5 May 1234, the abbey was free from debt at the end of his reign. Abbot Konrad died on 20 December 1239 and was entombed in Salem Abbey.

# List of Légion d'honneur recipients by name (X)

The French government gives out the Legion of Honour awards, to both French and foreign nationals, based on a recipient's exemplary services rendered to France, or to the causes supported by France. This award is divided into five distinct categories (in ascending order), i.e. three ranks: Knight, Officer, Commander, and two titles: Grand Officer and Grand Cross. Knight is the most common and is awarded for either at least 20 years of public service or acts of military or civil bravery. The rest of the categories have a quota for the number of years of service in the category below before they can be awarded. The Officer rank requires a minimum of eight years as a Knight, and the Commander, the highest civilian category for a non-French citizen, requires a minimum of five years as an Officer. The Grand Officer and the Grand Cross are awarded only to French citizens, and each requires three years' service in their respective immediately lower rank. The awards are traditionally published and promoted on 14 July.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of recipients of the Legion of Honour awards, since the first ceremony in May 1803. 2,550 individuals can be awarded the insignia every year. The total number of awards is close to 1 million (estimated at 900,000 in 2021, including over 3,000 Grand Cross recipients), with some 92,000 recipients alive today. Only until 2008 was gender parity achieved amongst the yearly list of recipients, with the total number of women recipients since the award's establishment being only 59 at the end of the second French empire and only 26,000 in 2021.
