# Alex Glegg

Alexander Kenneth Lindsay Glegg (born 9 August 1971) is a Canadian former cricketer. He represented the Canadian national side in several competitions during the 1990s.
Born in Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe), Glegg made his List A debut for Canada in October 1996, during the 1996–97 Shell/Sandals Trophy (the West Indian domestic one-day competition). The tournament featured teams outside the scope of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for the first time, with Canada and Bermuda participating as invitational teams. Glegg, a right-handed wicket-keeper, featured in the last four of Canada's six games, missing out on the first two matches (against Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago). However, he was only wicket-keeper for the final match, against the Leeward Islands, with Shiv Seeram instead used as the team's primary keeper. Glegg opened the batting in every match he played, with his opening partners including Latchman Bhansingh (one game), the team's captain Ingleton Liburd (two games), and Brian Rajadurai (one game). His best performance came against Trinidad and Tobago, when he scored 37 before being bowled by West Indies international Phil Simmons. Against Jamaica, he and Liburd put on a 69-run opening stand, while on debut against the Leeward Islands he was the only Canadian top-order batsman to pass double figures, with the side bowled out for 74.
Glegg's next appearances for Canada came at the 1997 ICC Trophy, played in Malaysia in March and April. With Danny Ramnarais preferred as wicket-keeper, he played in only two matches, against East and Central Africa in the group stages and against Hong Kong in the seventh-place playoff. Glegg's batting performances (opening with Latchman Bhasingh and Desmond Chumney) were lacklustre, but he recorded three dismissals in each game, with three stumpings effected (off three different bowlers). One of the batsmen he stumped was Hong Kong's Rahul Sharma, an ex-Ranji Trophy and future ODI player. Glegg's last recorded matches for Canada came in October 1997, at the 1997–98 Red Stripe Bowl (the renamed Shell/Sandals Trophy). Featuring in all four of Canada's matches, he twice recorded ducks, against Guyana and the Leeward Islands. However, against Guyana in the quarter-final (in what was to be his last list-A match), he scored 47 runs coming in fifth in the batting order, his highest list-A score. This included a 105-run fourth-wicket partnership with Paul Prashad. Canada's wicket-keeper at its next international tournament, the 1998 Commonwealth Games, was Danny Ramnrais. Glegg remained involved in Canadian cricket after finishing his playing career, as evidenced by his role as match referee at a 2006 international fixture between the Bermudian and Canadian women's national sides, played in Victoria, British Columbia. His club cricket was played for the Meraloma Cricket Club, based in Vancouver.
# Alex Giuliani Plaza

Alex Giuliani Plaza is a park surrounding a vacant building in downtown Hayward, California. The building was Hayward's first city hall. It is located on Mission Boulevard and D Street.

# Double Concerto (Previn)

The Double Concerto for Violin, Violoncello, and Orchestra is a 2014 composition by the German-American composer André Previn. The work was co-commissioned by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Linton Music with financial support from Ann and Harry Santen. It was additionally commissioned by the Austin Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Kansas City Symphony, the Pacific Symphony, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The world premiere was given by the husband/wife duo of the violinist Jaime Laredo and the cellist Sharon Robinson with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Louis Langrée in Cincinnati on November 21, 2014. The concerto is dedicated to Jaime Laredo and Sharon Robinson.

## Composition

The concerto has a duration of roughly 20 minutes and is composed in three numbered movements cast in the standard fast–slow–fast form.

### Instrumentation

The work is scored for a solo violin and cello and an orchestra consisting of three flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, timpani, percussion, harp, and strings.

## Reception

The concerto has been praised by musicians and critics alike. Reviewing the world premiere, Janelle Gelfand of The Cincinnati Enquirer opined, "Sophisticated and well-crafted, Previn's new work [...] is a terrific addition to the double concerto repertoire." She added, "The heart of the concerto was the slow movement, where Previn's gift for melody was on display. Here the soloists performed its romantic theme seamlessly, and with beauty of phrasing. The movement included a soaring melody for the strings and evocative writing for horns and winds. The finale was bright, syncopated and witty, and sometimes reminiscent of Bernstein. Laredo and Robinson brought it to a stirring conclusion with deeply expressive dialogue." Libby Hanssen of The Kansas City Star said the work "leapt and crackled with unexpected colors and design" and wrote:
   The thematic material of the first movement had a mercurial quality, starting angular then suddenly turning grandiose, with pockets of romanticism and more familiar-sounding resolutions. Frequent, fast tempo meter changes created evident concern for the orchestra, though the soloists’ virtuosity persevered. The second movement ("Slow") had a lovely sepia-toned quality, as though from another era, with a gorgeous simultaneous statement from the soloists. The pastiche effect returned in the final movement with aggressive strikes from brass and percussion, playful cello line and triumphant strings, culminating in a reverberant final chord.
The dedicatees Jaime Laredo and Sharon Robinson also praised the work, particularly the second movement. Laredo referred to it as "gorgeous" and "ravishing," while Robinson said, "It's a real gift, this movement. I think it's just so beautiful."

## Ideas

According to Principles of Secondary Education, three aims of secondary education are:
   * Social-Civic Aim – The preparation of the individual as a prospective citizen and cooperating member of society.
   * Economic-Vocational Aim – The preparation of the individual as a prospective worker and producer.
   * Individualistic-Avocational Aim – The preparation of the individual for those activities … primarily involving individual action, the use of leisure, and the development of personality.
He summarized his position of what the intent of secondary education should be thusly:
   Many important functions are therein involved, e.g., means of adjusting the individual and his social environment, the development of a "social mind" and social cohesion among groups of individuals, the adjustment of individual differences to the differentiated needs of society, control of the factor of selection in secondary education, educational, moral, social, and vocational guidance.

## Influence

The Harvard Graduate School of Education established the Inglis Lectureship in Secondary Education in his honor.
His work was referenced by John Taylor Gatto in his essay, "Against School".
His thought inspired Ellwood Patterson Cubberley and James Bryant Conant.

# Dresden Coinage Convention

The Dresden Coinage Convention of 1838 was a multilateral treaty that attempted to bring some degree of standardisation to the currencies used in the Zollverein.
The convention was agreed to at the General Mint Convention of the States of the German Customs Union or Zollverein, held at Dresden. The conference had been prompted in part by the Munich Coin Treaty of 1837, by which the south German states adopted a unified currency. The Dresden Treaty was concluded on 30 July 1838 and was ratified by the States of the Zollverein at a follow-up meeting on 7 January 1839. The contracting parties to the convention agreed to use either the Prussian thaler or the gulden; the treaty established permanently fixed exchange rates between the two currencies. The thaler was agreed to be equal to 1.75 gulden and thus the gulden was agreed to be equal to 4/7 thaler.
The parties to the treaty were the states that at the time were members of the Zollverein: Baden, Bavaria, Frankfurt, Hesse-Darmstadt, Hesse-Homburg, Hesse-Kassel, Nassau, Prussia, Reuss-Gera, Reuss-Greiz, Saxe-Altenburg, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Saxe-Meiningen, Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Saxony, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, and Württemberg.
Further standardisation came in 1857, when the Zollverein states and Austria agreed to the Vienna Monetary Treaty. By 1857, the Dresden Convention had also been accepted by Brunswick, Hanover, and Oldenburg. Luxembourg did not accept the Dresden Convention, even though it joined the Zollverein in 1842.

# Alexander Walker Scott

Alexander Walker Scott (10 November 1800 – 1 November 1883) was an Australian entomologist mainly interested in butterflies.
Scott was the son of Dr Helenus and Augusta Maria Scott. He was born in Bombay, India and was educated at Bath Grammar School and Peterhouse, Cambridge, receiving a BA in 1822 and an MA in 1825. Scott was elected to the new Legislative Assembly, representing Northumberland and Hunter from 1856 to 1859, Northumberland 1858 to 1859 and Lower Hunter from 1860 to 1861. He supported the secret ballot and franchise extension. In 1861 he was nominated to the Legislative Council for life, but he took no part in it and resigned in 1866.
A failed entrepreneur, he later became a prominent figure in the commercial establishment of the Newcastle region. He lived at Ash Island on the Hunter River with his wife, formerly Harriet Calcott, a seamstress, and his two daughters Harriet (1830–1907) and Helena Scott (1832–1910), both born in Sydney. At Ash Island the sisters helped their father in his entomological work, collecting, preparing and drying specimens of plants and insects, and also accepted painting, drawing and lithography commissions from Australian naturalists including Gerard Krefft, William Macleay, Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, Edward Pierson Ramsay, William Woolls and Ferdinand von Mueller.
The Scott sisters became established with the publication of Australian Lepidoptera and their transformations, drawn from the life by Harriet and Helena Scott which illustrated insects in the stages of metamorphosis, in the environment in which they lived and fed. This work, published in 1864, was time-consuming and expensive and publication was delayed for 12 years. Although published (in London : John van Voorst) under Alexander Walker Scott it was an entirely collaborative work as its title states.
Alexander Walker Scott was a trustee of the Australian Museum 1862–79 and a Fellow of The Entomological Society of New South Wales, founded in 1862, as were both Helena and Harriet, though in their case it was honorary, a rare distinction. He died in Paddington.
The Scott collection is conserved in the Australian Museum in Sydney.
In 1842 Scott invited French explorer and artist Fredrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichardt to stay at his house and arrived on 23 September and spent 3–4 days there.
