# Sidney Jacobson (businessman)

Sidney Jacobson (1918–2005) was an American businessman who founded industrial equipment distributor MSC Industrial Direct and pioneered the use of computerized inventory management and order processing.

## Biography

Jacobson was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn. At the age of 16, he took a job as a machinist and in 1941, he founded the Sid Tool Company in Little Italy, Manhattan with $1,000 of his own money and $3,000 borrowed from his mother. Sid Tool sold cutting tools to New York City machine shops.
After serving in the Army Air Force during World War II leaving the business first, in the hands of his brother (until he too was drafted) and then his sister while he was gone. He returned to a company with $36,000 in annual sales where he soon landed exclusive contracts with Grumman Corporation and Republic Aircraft. In 1955, he moved the company to Plainview, New York, closer to his home in Great Neck, New York. Sensing that he was overly reliant on the two aerospace companies (they were 90% of sales in the 1960s), he launched a catalog business to diversify his customer base. His colorful catalog (known as "The Big Book") combined with an expansive portfolio of lower cost imported tools purchased at a discount (Sid Tools was the first company in the industry to widely import foreign-manufactured tools) propelled catalog sales which soon exceeded the company's regular sales. After an inventory problem where he ran out of stock of a critical item, Jacobson invested heavily in computerized inventory management and order processing, the first to do so in the industry.
In 1970, Sid Tool purchased the cutting tool marketer, Manhattan Supply Company and changed the name of the company to MSC Industrial Direct, using the initials of Manhattan Supply. In 1978, MSC became one of the first distributors to launch a fully integrated Quality Assurance Department. In 1976, his son Mitchell, a lawyer, joined the company and was tasked with seeking out the best practices at other industrial suppliers to implement at MSC. In 1982, Mitchell replaced his father as president of the company. The company went public in 1995. MSC went on to become one of the largest industrial equipment distributors in the world with $1.87 billion in sales in 2010.

## Philanthropy

Jacobson was a strong supporter of the Jewish community giving generously to the UJA-Federation of New York. The Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center in East Hills, New York, is named in his honor. He served as president of the New York UJA-Federation Palm Beach committee; and served on the boards of directors for both the Mid Island JCC and United JCC's of Long Island. Jacobson was a founder of Long Island Jewish Hospital and served as an associate trustee of North Shore Hospital.

## Personal life

Jacobson was married to Bernice Jacobson with whom he had two children: Marjorie Jacobson Gershwind and Mitchell Jacobson. The couple lived in Great Neck, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida. They died together at their home on June 21, 2005, of carbon monoxide poisoning. Their funeral was held at Temple Beth-El in Great Neck.

# Shōbō-ji Sansō

The Shōbōji Sansō (正法寺山荘) was a Sengoku period Japanese castle located in what is now part of the city of Kameyama, Mie Prefecture, in the Kansai region of Japan. Its ruins have been protected as a National Historic Site since 1981.

## Overview

The Shōbōji Villa was a fortified mountain villa constructed around 1504 by Seki Morisada on a hillside on the west bank of the Ono River, a tributary of the Suzuka River. The site is at an elevation of 105 meters and is surrounded by rivers on three sides and cliffs to the north and south, forming a natural fortress. The Seki clan, a cadet branch of the Heike clan, dominated the Suzuka region of northern Ise Province from the Kamakura period from their main seat at Kameyama Castle. The location was originally a Rinzai Zen temple called Shōbō-ji which is mentioned in historical documents as a place visited by the renga poetry master Sōchō, who held a poetry contest there. Seki Morisada modified the temple buildings to create a mountain retreat, which was later fortified with stone walls in response to the threat of invasion of Ise Province by Oda Nobunaga. The Seki continued to use this location until they were transferred to Shirakawa in Mutsu Province by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590.
Archaeological excavations from 1977 have detected the remains of four buildings, well-ordered masonry drainage ditches, wells, as well as coins from the Northern Song dynasty and Ming dynasty, nails, roof tiles, Tenmoku tea bowls, celadon, white porcelain, and dyed plates.
The castle site is about a 35-minute walk from Seki Station on the JR West Kansai Main Line.
# Shōbōji Kofun

The Shōbōji Kofun (正法寺古墳) is a Kofun period burial mound, located in the Kira neighborhood of the city of Nishio, Aichi in the Tōkai region of Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1936, with the area under protection extended in 2004.

## Overview

The Shōbōji Kofun is located near the mouth of the Yahagi River facing Mikawa Bay in central Aichi Prefecture, on what was once a peninsula that extended about 400 meters east from an independent hill at an elevation of 115 meters. The coastline during the Kofun period is estimated to have reached about ten kilometers inland from the present site; however, from ancient and medieval times land reclamation gradually progressed due to sedimentation of the Yahagi River. The hills within two kilometers around the old burial mound are formed of gabbro, and the stones covering the kofun are almost entirely gabbroic. The soil around the tumulus is reddish brown clay, which is due to the iron content of gabbro.
The name of "Shōbōji" refers to a Shingon sect temple built by the Ashikaga clan in the early Muromachi period and converted to the Sōtō sect during the Edo period. The tumulus was covered in pine forest during the Edo period and was not recognized as a kofun until after the start of the twentieth century. It was designated as a park in the 1930s, but as severely damaged by the Isewan Typhoon in 1959. The site was abandoned and overgrown for many years until the park was revived in 1989 and the dimensions of the kofun surveyed. Although the burial chamber was not opened, a total of 11 trenches were excavated in its sides from 1985 to 2002.
Per the 2001 and 2002 excavation, the tumulus was established to be a three-tiered zenpō-kōen-fun (前方後円墳), which is shaped like a keyhole, having one square end and one circular end, when viewed from above. However, this tumulus is unusual in that the front line is oblique to the main axis. This lack of symmetry was due to the contour of a natural hill, which was incorporated into the tumulus. The first and second ties were formed by cutting and contouring the natural hill, and the uppermost level was added as an embankment. The total length of the tumulus is 94 meters. The anterior rectangular portion is 55 meters wide and 6 meters high, and then posterior circular portion has diameter of 62 meters and height of eight meters. The mound was covered with fukiishi made from natural stone split stones found in the vicinity, rather than rounded river stones which was more typical. Numerous cylindrical haniwa have been uncovered at the site (although none in situ, and none with any decoration) as well as numerous Sue ware pottery shards. The haniwa date the construction of the tumulus to the late 4th to early 5th century.
Currently, the tumulus is maintained as an archaeological park. It is located about five minutes by car from Kira-Yoshida Station on the Meitetsu Nishio Line.

## Career

Born in Barcelona, Catalunya, Beá joined the art agency Selecciones Ilustradas at 15 and started his comic book career in the late 1950s when he worked for Fleetway in Britain. He also worked on Miller's TV Heroes during this period. In the early 1960s he worked on Space Ace for Atlas, as well as Lone Star. He also worked on various British romance comics including Romeo, Mirabelle, Valentine and Jackie. In 1962 Beá moved to Paris where he focused on painting rather than comic book art. Bea returned to comics in 1970 for the publication Dracula from Buru Lan, where he first started writing his own stories. His work for Dracula included the series Sir Leo as well as several stand-alone stories.
Due to his connections with the Spanish agency Selecciones Illustrada, Beá started working for Warren Publishing in America in 1971, premiering with the story The Silver Thief and the Pharoah's Daughter in Vampirella 13. Bea would both write and illustrate a large portion of his stories.

# Siege of Mézières

The siege of Mézières took place in 1521, during the Italian War of 1521–1526. The town (now part of Charleville-Mézières) was besieged by an army of the Holy Roman Empire. Mézières was defended by French troops under the command of Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard and Anne de Montmorency.
The siege was a failure, and the determined resistance of the French gave more time for Francis I of France to gather strength against Charles V.

## Background

The French offensive in Spanish territory in the summer of 1521 ended in failure; the uprising of the Kingdom of Navarre, that passed under Hispanic control in 1512, forced Marshal de Foix to retreat to avoid being cut off from his supply lines. On June 30, 1521, the French were beaten at the Battle of Noain, which gave the kings of Castile control over Navarre.
During the fragile peace which had followed the election of Charles V, the English arbitrated between France and the Holy Roman Empire. Following the Field of the Cloth of Gold, Henry VIII of England and his minister Thomas Wolsey made an alliance with the young emperor. In June 1521, Francis I of France first accepted the mediation of the English. Threatened on several fronts, the financial crisis that struck the French forbade the rapid emergence of a new army.
The Duke of Bouillon had been making incursions into Flanders for several weeks when Imperial force invaded northern France on 20 August. Troops commanded by Count Franz de Nassau-Sickingen moved on Mouzon.

## The siege

During the siege the villagers took refuge in the citadel of Mézières. Defended by Bayard with only 1,000 men, the fortress found itself besieged by nearly 35,000 of Nassau's soldiers. The Imperial lines passed south-east of Manicourt. The siege lasted six weeks, which included an initial three weeks of intensive bombardment. Bayard found himself in a desperate situation, since the king, due to a lack of money, was unable to intervene. During the siege of the fortress, the neighbouring villages of Champeau and Manicourt (where the imperial troops were encamped) were set ablaze .
Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard commanded the defenders. He wrote false letters to Francis I that he knew would be intercepted by the enemy. The letters informed the king that Mézières was abundantly supplied and well defended, that it could withstand a long siege, and aid need not be sent. Deceived by this news, the invaders became discouraged and abandoned their attack. Nassau-Sickingen then ravaged the east part of Picardy by crossing the Meuse, pillaging and destroying the villages along the Sormonne in the Ardennes, before returning to Hainaut.

## Aftermath

When Wolsey proposed a truce with France, it was rejected. Francis had won enough time to gather an army near Reims and prevent further incursions on his territory. This victory was soon followed by others, with the recovery of Parma by Lautrec and the conquest of the strategic place of Hondarribia by Bonnivet.

# Silver (DMA's song)

"Silver" is a song by Australian rock band DMA's, released on 24 October 2019 as the lead single from their third studio album, The Glow (2020). The single was certified gold in Australia in 2021.
The song was number 20 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2019.
At the APRA Music Awards of 2021, the song was shortlisted for Song of the Year.

## Reception

Debbie Carr from ABC said "Just as polished as the name itself, 'Silver' shows DMA's progressing into slicker form of their late 90s-early 00s pop revival. Warm, encompassing guitar parts wrap their arms around you, while singer Tommy O'Dell’s voice soars, in a way that's damn near impossible to be anything other than lovable."
Alex Gallagher from Music Feeds described "Silver" as "spirited swirl of atmospheric yet anthemic guitar-pop, with a pretty huge chorus to boot."
