# Michelangelo Pittatore

Michelangelo Pittatore (12 February 1825, Asti - 24 March 1903, Asti) was an Italian painter who specialized in portraits and religious paintings.

## Biography

His father originally wanted to be a painter, but gave it up to support his family, becoming a framer and decorator instead. When he saw that his son had some artistic talent, he sent him, at the age of eleven, to study with Agostino Cottolengo, who he remained with until 1838. When he turned fourteen, his father decided that he needed more formal instruction and enrolled him in classes at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. He also copied works by the Old Masters and created some original works inspired by theirs.
In 1845, he received his first commission, from the knights of the Supreme Order of the Most Holy Annunciation, for portraits that would be presented to Queen Maria Cristina. The Queen was impressed and, two years later, commissioned him to do decorations for the Sanctuary of Oropa (designed by Canina), as well as some private residences. He remained in Rome until 1848, when political events made it wiser to go back home.
Thanks to commissions from the Vicar of Costigliole, he was able to return to Rome in 1852. He soon became an habitué of the Antico Caffè Greco, where he became a lifelong friend of Rudolf Lehmann. For a time, he concentrated on works that combined traditional still-lifes with elements of genre painting, although continuing to do his usual portraits. He made occasional trips home, where he created some religious works, then returned there in 1859.
In 1868, possibly at the prompting of his friend, Lehmann, he moved to London. Once there, he became part of the city's Italian community and made the acquaintance of Giuseppe Mazzini, who gave him a letter of introduction that gained him entry to the upper echelons of Victorian society. The high point of his career there was an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts.
He returned to Italy in 1872 where, after 1880, his portraits began to show the influence of photography. He died peacefully at home in 1903. In his will, he left 10,000 Lire to the city of Asti, to be used for art education.

# 7545 Smaklösa

7545 Smaklösa, provisional designation 1978 OB, is a stony background asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 4 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 28 July 1978, by Swedish astronomer Claes-Ingvar Lagerkvist at Mount Stromlo Observatory in Canberra, Australia. The asteroid was named for the Swedish band Smaklösa.

## Orbit and classification

Smaklösa orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.7–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 5 months (1,242 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.23 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic. As no precoveries were taken, the asteroid's observation arc begins with its discovery in 1978.

## Physical characteristics
### Lightcurves

In August 2012, a rotational lightcurve of Smaklösa was obtained at the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in Coonabarabran, Australia. The photometric observation showed a well-defined rotation period of 14.322±0.004 hours with a brightness variation of 0.75 in magnitude (U=3). Similar periods of 14.330±0.220 and 14.3002±0.0218 hours were derived at the U.S Palomar Transient Factory in 2014 (U=2/2).

### Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Smaklösa measures 4.1 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.24, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 4.3 kilometers.

## Naming

This minor planet was named after the Gotlandic music group Smaklösa. (Literally "Flavourless", but also "Tasteless" or "Tacky". The latter meaning is intended here as indicated by the name of their own record label "Tasteless Records").
The Swedish band gave a number of concerts on the island of Gotland. They are known for their cleverly phrased lyrics mixed with the local humor of the island. The discoverer of this minor planet has named it after the band, grateful for having attended their concerts in 1998, which are unforgettable to him. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 8 December 1998 (M.P.C. 33387).
# 9th Coast Regiment, Royal New Zealand Artillery

The 9th Coast Regiment, Royal New Zealand Artillery was a territorial coastal artillery regiment of the New Zealand Army. The regiment was formed in 1940 as 9th Heavy Regiment, New Zealand Artillery and controlled the coastal defence batteries around Auckland. The regiment was progressively expanded and by the end of the war had batteries all over the upper North Island. The regiment was reduced to a cadre in 1957 and disbanded in 1967, along with the other coastal artillery regiments (10th and 11th).

## History

Since the First World War, the coastal defences of Auckland had come under a single battery, 13 Heavy Battery (13 Coast Battery prior to 1934). In March 1940, 13 Heavy Battery was broken up into three batteries and the overall force increased in manpower. The 9th Heavy Regiment was formed in July 1940 to command the Auckland defence batteries, which included both coastal artillery and anti-aircraft artillery. In 1941, the regiment was expanded to include the coastal artillery batteries which covered other ports in the upper North Island. At its peak size in 1943, the regiment consisted of nine batteries:
* 60 Battery (Motutapu Island: three 6" Mk XXI guns)
* 61 Battery (Fort Cautley: two 4" Mk VII, two 12-pounder and four 6-pounder guns; Bastion Point: two 12-pounder and one twin 6-pounder guns; Great Barrier Island: one 6" Mk VII, one 4" Mk VII and four 40 mm Bofors guns. Manukau: one 4.7" gun; Motuihe Island: two 4" Mk VII guns)
* 62 Battery (Fort Takapuna: two 4" Mk VII guns)
* 63 Battery (Castor Bay: two 6" Mk VII Guns)
* 64 Battery (Whangaparaoa: two 6" Mk VII guns)
* 68 Battery (Bay of Islands: four 6" Mk VII and eight 40-mm Bofors guns; Whangaparaoa: one 6" Mk VII gun)
* 139 Battery (Whangārei: one 5" Mk VIII gun)
* 163 Battery (Whangaparaoa: two 9.2" Mk XV guns)
* 164 Battery (Waiheke Island: two 9.2" Mk XV guns)
The name of the regiment was changed to 9th Coast Regiment in October 1944 and in the same year, the coastal defences were effectively mothballed. After the war it was decided that only the defences at Auckland should be kept in an operational state by a small peacetime garrison. In 1948 the territorial force was reorganised. All the New Zealand Artillery became part of the Royal New Zealand Artillery and the batteries were renumbered as:
* 91 Battery (North Head)
* 93 Battery (Motutapu)
* 94 Battery (Castor Bay)
* 95 Battery (Whangaparoa)
* 96 Battery (Waiheke)
It was decided in 1957 that the coastal artillery regiments were no longer necessary. That decision may have been connected to the British turn towards missiles as expressed by the 1957 Defence White Paper. The armament and equipment were placed on a care and maintenance basis, while the regiment was reduced to a cadre. Over the coming years, the equipment was scrapped and much of the facilities and land were sold off. The regiment eventually dropped to a single quartermaster sergeant, but continued to exist on paper until it was formally disbanded in 1967.

# Midnight Lady (Marvin Gaye song)

"Midnight Lady" is the first track on Marvin Gaye's 1982 album, Midnight Love. It contains sly references to Rick James and his hit, "Super Freak".

## Background

By the recording of Midnight Love, Gaye was influenced by the different musical styles that were dominating the pop music scene of the 1980s from synthpop and new wave artists such as Duran Duran to rock artists such as John Lennon, a pop music contemporary he was often compared to, reggae legend Bob Marley and funk/R&B artists such as Prince, Michael Jackson and Rick James. For this song, the musical style of James, which mixed styles of funk, synthpop and new wave particularly on James' biggest crossover hit, "Superfreak", influenced the direction of what became "Midnight Lady". In its alternate demo version, later released on the Midnight Love and the Sexual Healing Sessions album, its original working title is "Clique Games/Rick James".
According to biographer David Ritz, Gaye told him, "Most of my life happens after midnight. Call me the 'Midnight Man'." Gaye played on most of the instruments on the song except for drums by James Gadson, the horn section by David Stout and The L.A. Horn Section and guitar by Gordon Banks. In the song, Gaye references going to a party "last Saturday night" where "the club was rocking/superfreaks were hanging out/wall to wall" and "something's going on in the men's room". Throughout the song, Gaye continues referencing the woman he's after as a "superfreak". Lyrically wise and musically wise, the influence of "Superfreak" was prominent. In one verse, Gaye tells the woman, "somebody said you was a superfreak/I'm here to tell you I'm a superfreak, baby." Gaye would later admit he was influenced by James for the duration of the album as it progressed. The song was never released as a single but was issued as the first track off Midnight Love.

# Edward Mead Johnson

Edward Mead Johnson (April 23, 1852 – March 20, 1934) was an American businessman and one of the co-founders of Johnson & Johnson. In 1886, Edward Mead Johnson abandoned a career in law and joined his two brothers Robert Wood Johnson I, and James Wood Johnson to found Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He left that family surgical supply business in 1895 to found what became Mead Johnson, which produces nutrition products for infants and children marketed in fifty countries around the world.

## Life and career

Johnson earned a degree in law from the University of Michigan and practiced law briefly before going into business with his brothers. He co-founded Johnson & Johnson together with his brothers James Wood Johnson and Robert Wood Johnson I, a company that remained privately held by the family until 1944, when the firm made its first public stock offering.
His first son, Ted, was born in 1888 with a congenital heart defect and feeding problems. In 1895, Johnson developed a side business, The American Ferment Company, to create a digestive aid. In 1897, E. Mead Johnson left the existing family business to go into business on his own in Jersey City, New Jersey, and in 1905, his side business was re-established as Mead Johnson & Company. The firm's first major infant formula was developed in 1910, and Dextri-Maltose, a carbohydrate-based milk modifier was introduced in 1911, making it the first American product for infants to be approved clinically and recommended by physicians. The creation of Dextri-Maltose was provoked by problems experienced feeding his first son as an infant, which became life-threatening.
The firm moved to Evansville, Indiana, in 1915, as part of an effort to have easier access to the raw agricultural ingredients that were needed for its products. The relocation required Johnson to build a series of new plants and factories to replace the facilities he had left behind in New Jersey.
Johnson retired from the firm and devoted his time to deep-sea fishing and golf. He was an active member of community organizations in Evansville and contributed the money needed to acquire a building used by an organization that fed sick babies, insisting that the donation remained anonymous until his death. The Evansville Business Journal inducted Johnson into its Business Hall of Fame in 2007.
Johnson died at age 81 on March 20, 1934 of a heart attack suffered at his winter home in Miami Beach, Florida. His body was transported back to Evansville for burial.
Another son, Lambert, succeeded him as president of Mead Johnson following his death and served in the position until 1955, making him the longest-serving president in the history of the company.
His home at Evansville, the Bernardin-Johnson House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
