# Aino Ackté

Aino Ackté (originally Achte; 24 April 1876 – 8 August 1944) was a Finnish dramatic soprano. She was the first international star of the Finnish opera scene after Alma Fohström, and a groundbreaker for the domestic field.

## Biography

Ackté was born in Helsinki. Her parents were mezzo-soprano Emmy Achté (née Strömer) and the conductor-composer Lorenz Nikolai Achté.
The young Ackté studied singing under her mother's tutelage until 1894 when she entered the Paris Conservatory, studying under Edmond Duvernoy and Alfred Girodet. Her debut at the Paris Opera was in 1897 in Faust and she was signed on for six years as a result. Ackté's coterie included among others Albert Edelfelt, who painted two famous full portraits of her in 1901 and 1902.
Aino Ackté married a lawyer, Heikki Renvall, in 1901 and gave birth to a daughter, Glory, the same year. She officially adopted the surname Ackté-Renvall. Their son, Mies Reenkola, was born in 1908.
In 1904 Ackté was engaged by the New York Metropolitan Opera where she remained until 1906. She performed the title role of Richard Strauss's Salome at its local premieres in Leipzig (1907) and London (1910). The Covent Garden premiere was an enormous success and Strauss himself proclaimed Ackté the "one and only Salome". Ackté considered the London performances her real breakthrough.
In 1911, Ackté, Oskar Merikanto, and Edvard Fazer founded the Kotimainen Ooppera (renamed in 1914 Finnish Opera, and then in 1956 the Finnish National Opera). She was to act as its director in 1938–1939.
After parting ways with the National Opera, Ackté organized an international Savonlinna Opera Festival beginning on 3 July 1912; it was held 1912–1914, 1916 and 1930.
Jean Sibelius dedicated his tone poem Luonnotar to Ackté and she premiered the work on 10 September 1913 at the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester, England. She also sang in the first performance of Luonnotar in Finland, in January 1914.
Ackté ended her international travels in 1914 and returned to Finland, where she gave her farewell performance in 1920. She married Bruno Jalander, the governor of Uusimaa, in 1919, changing her name to Ackté-Jalander.
Her final public performances took place at the Savonlinna Opera Festival in 1930. She provided the libretto for Juha, and opera that received two treatments: the first by Aarre Merikanto (1922) and the second by Leevi Madetoja (1934). She died of pancreatic cancer in Nummela, Vihti in August 1944.

## Legacy

She has a park road named after her, near the Olavinlinna in Savonlinna and another street in Helsinki, Finland. Her old summerhouse, Villa Aino Ackté [fi], located in Helsinki is being rented by the city for cultural activities and meetings.
Ackté is theorized to have most likely been the original model for the opera diva character Bianca Castafiore in comics books of "Adventures of Tintin" by Belgian Hergé.

# Ahora Castilla

Ahora Castilla (Castile now in English) was a political pact signed by a string of Castilian nationalist political parties and associations whose primary aim was to found a political platform. The signatory groups were: Tierra Comunera (currently Castilian Party), Castilian Left, Castilian Soup and Castilian Land. This pact was embodied in form of a manifesto known as The Manifesto of Alcalá de Henares, because it was publicly presented in the city of Alcalá de Henares, (Spain).
These political parties and associations intended to bring Castilian nationalism together in order to advance to their basic political goals, in fact the manifesto only expounds the basic principles of Castilian nationalism to rally all Castilian nationalistic groups. This pact intended to be a kind of milestone to create a political platform to run for the regional election in 2007. Nowadays this political initiative is no longer active.

## Ideology

The manifesto is a summary of the basic principles of the Castilian nationalism ideology. Actually they did not offer anything new to the movement, they just wanted to make an agreement in order to run for the regional election in some Spanish regions in 2007. The main ideas of the manifesto were:
* Contriving political initiatives and projects intending to achieve the unification of Castile (the fundamental idea of Castilian nationalism)
* Reactivating the project of Council of Castilian Autonomous Communities signed in 2000 by the following former Spanish regional presidents (Mr Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón from the region of Madrid, Mr Juan José Lucas from the region of Castile and León, and Mr José Bono from the region of Castile-La Mancha).The original idea was to create a Council intending to foster inter-regional cooperation, however this project never materialized.
* Recovering the old historic regional boundaries and repealing the current provincial ones. They thought this idea could be helpful to achieve the unification of Castile.
* Recovering, publicizing, fostering the Castilian regional identity to thence foment a Castilian national awareness in the Castilian Autonomous Communities.
* Recovering Castilian culture and folklore as well as protecting the historic and cultural heritage and the environment.
* Giving Castile as a whole its importance within Spain
* Creating a political platform to bring all Castilian nationalism together to reach these objectives, but at the same time respecting the ideologic plurality of the coalition members.
# Ajax Attack

The Ajax Attack were a Junior "A" ice hockey team from Ajax, Ontario, Canada. They were a part of the Central Canadian Hockey League. They used to be known as the Axemen. In the Summer of 2010, the Attack merged with the Pickering Panthers and left Ajax.

## History

The team originated as a member of the Central Junior C Hockey League in 1986. In 1991 they made the jump to the Central Junior "B" league, despite limited success in the Central Junior "C" league, and stayed with the league in 1993 when it became the OPJHL. Since 1987, the Attack have only had one winning season and two .500 records.
After the 2004-05 season, one of the worst seasons in OPJHL history, the Axemen changed their name to the Attack. Despite their name change, their woes continued in 2005-06 finishing out of the playoffs in a league that allows 32 teams into their playoffs every year. In 2006-07, the Attack managed to make the playoffs with a wildcard spot, but bowed out in the first round. In 07/08 the Attack failed to make the post season posting a 12-34-3 and again it was very frustrating year for the franchise.

# Ajax-class ironclad

The Ajax class of ironclad battleships consisted of two ships, HMS Ajax and HMS Agamemnon, serving in the Victorian era Royal Navy. Their main armament was turret-mounted.

## Design

These two ships were built to the same concept as Inflexible - a heavily armoured citadel carrying four heavy guns mounted 'en echelon' in turrets to achieve all-round fire - but were required to be of lighter draught, and to displace 3,000 tons less. It was therefore necessary to arm them with guns of 12.5 inch calibre, as against 16 inch in Inflexible, and to accept a maximum speed of nearly two knots less. Also, unlike the Inflexible, these ships were dependent upon the integrity of their unarmoured ends to maintain buoyancy; should the ends have been damaged enough to become waterlogged, the ships would have sunk.
This class were the last ships in the Royal Navy to be armed with muzzle-loading rifles, and the first to carry any form of secondary armament. They were designed from the start not to carry any form of sailing rig.

## Ships

| Name | Builder | Laid down | Launched | Completed |
| Ajax | Pembroke Dockyard | 21 March 1876 | 10 March 1880 | 30 March 1883 |
| Agamemnon | Chatham Dockyard | 9 May 1876 | 17 September 1879 | 1883 |

# Airmail (fresco)

Airmail is a 4-by-8-foot (1.2 × 2.4 m) fresco painting by American artist Edwin Boyd Johnson. Located in Melrose Park, Illinois, it was painted in 1937, in what was then the village's post office, and has since become its public library.
The fresco features a giant barefoot and bare-chested male mailman flying over a town scene whilst holding a winged letter. An airplane is seen in the skies behind him. This was chosen as Melrose Park was one of the first airmail facilities used by the United States Post Service and the fresco was painted to commemorate it.

## History

Airmail was created as part of a New Deal program to help unemployed artists. The United States Post Office commissioned around 100 pieces of art in Illinois under this scheme. Edwin Boyd Johnson painted Airmail, finishing it in 1937. Between 1937 and 1971, it was located in the postmaster's office. When the post office closed, it was renovated to become the public library, during which time the fresco was lost and presumed destroyed.
The mural was rediscovered in 2007 following a man named Richard Grunt investigating Johnson's work after remembering seeing Airmail at the post office when he was a child. When he contacted the library about it, the librarian explored behind a drop ceiling and rediscovered it. Airmail was in bad condition, with the center piece being "punched out", and the top and bottom of the fresco being chipped. It is believed to have been damaged following removal to install new air ducts during the transformation from post office to library. Appeals were made to cover the $50,000 bill for restoration. The money was raised by a combination of local societies and Fifth Third Bank in 2010. After a six-month restoration, it was unveiled at Melrose Park Historical Center before being returned to the library for permanent display.

# Lalla Rookh (1825 ship)

Lalla Rookh was a wooden sailing vessel, 333 tons, built by Thomas Metcalfe & Son in South Shields, "rigged as a Snow", meaning that, unlike a normal brig, she had an extra lower square sail on the main mast, which provided additional power. She was completed in March 1825 and owned by Thomas & John Fenwick of North Shields.
On 12 August 1825 Lalla Rookh, under Captain B. R. Jones arrived at Liverpool from Quebec with cargo of timber and wheat. In early October, she was bound for Miramichi, and on 24 December arrived back at Liverpool, under Jones, from Miramichi, described as "of North Shields".
On 19 April 1826 she sailed for Miramichi under Jones, and on 19 July 1826 arrived back in Liverpool.
From November 1826 to August 1827 there were further trips between Liverpool and Quebec under Jones.
In 1828 she trades at Malta and Smyrna under Captain Jones, carrying goods such as berries, currants and cotton.
On 23 October 1829 she sailed from Trieste under Green.
On 9 April 1831 she was at sea en route from Mobile to Liverpool.
On 15 May 1832 Lalla Rookh "of Newcastle" arrives in Liverpool from Alexandria, Virginia(?), under Captain Green.
On 8 April 1833, she returns to Liverpool from New Orleans under Green. On 26 April she is loaded for a voyage to Charleston. On 13 November 1833 she sails for Mobile under Green. On 8 February 1834 "the brig Lalla Rookh", under Green, anchored at Port Antonio, Jamaica, for a few days en route to Mobile, 57 days after leaving Liverpool. She had picked up passengers from an American brig, who had rescued them from the wreck of the Sneaton Castle.
On 14 May 1835 Lalla Rookh under Captain Green was reported to be "from Mobile at the Clyde". On 21 September 1835 she arrived at Kingston upon Hull from Quebec under Captain Green, having sustained damage after striking the pier, with "ten feet water in her hold".
Lalla Rookh was wrecked near Wick, near the northern tip of mainland Scotland, around midnight on 11 or 12 April 1836. She was sailing from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Quebec in ballast under the command of Captain Green, during a severe easterly gale, and was driven onto rocks at Elzy, a couple of miles east of Wick. The ship was described as "of and from Newcastle". The crew were all saved.
