David Epley, popularly known as Doktor Kaboom, is a German/American  science communicator, stage actor, and comedian. His interactive stage shows have been featured in venues like The Kennedy Center and The Orpheum Theater, and Epley has appeared on television programs like “Fox News”, “New Day Northwest,” and a number of local television affiliates. His home experiment ideas have also been featured in magazines like Parents. Epley is a U.S. Army veteran and was a volunteer firefighter and E.M.T. for 5 years.

Early career and education 
David Epley grew up in North Carolina where he attended a specialized high school, The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, to take advanced science courses like Astrophysics. In college, Epley majored in both Chemistry and Theater. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina. His affinity for the stage lead him to an early career in street performances and festivals in the U.S. and internationally, in particular Renaissance faires.

Career 
Prior to his mainstream “Doktor Kaboom!” stage show, Epley wrote, directed, and performed in comedy routines across the United States and Canada. In 2006, Epley developed the “Doktor Kaboom” character as a means of combining science with art. He further refined the persona through street theater in New York and outdoor festivals before moving on to a larger international audience.

Directed by Martin Albert, "Doktor Kaboom's Try This At Home! Vol. 1" starred Epley as the titular character and was released in 2010.

In 2014 The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts commissioned Epley to created "LIVE WIRE! The Electricity Tour," which was performed at the center before traveling to stages around the U.S. and internationally.

Part of Epley’s message as a science communicator, which he reiterates on stage and televised appearances, is that “science is for everybody”.

Epley is a board member for Arts Northwest, a performing arts presenter and management organization in the Pacific Northwest. He lives in Seattle with his wife and two daughters.

Yu Chen Yueh-ying (; 2 September 1926 – 26 May 2014) was a Taiwanese politician, judge and matriarch of the Yu family, a political family who dominated politics in the former Kaohsiung County for more than thirty years. (Kaohsiung County was merged with Kaohsiung City on December 25, 2010, to form a special municipality, Kaohsiung). Her six children include former Interior Minister Yu Cheng-hsien, who headed the ministry from 2002 to 2004.

Early life
Chen Yueh-ying was the youngest of eleven children born to factory owner Chen Tsai-hsing. She married Yu Jui-yen at the suggestion of a matchmaker. Yu Chen's father-in-law, Yu Teng-fa, served as the Commissioner of Kaohsiung County from 1960 until 1963.

Political career
In 1963, Yu Chen entered politics by running as a candidate for the Taiwan Provincial Council at the behest of Yu Teng-fa. She served on the Provincial Council for four terms.

In 1981, Yu Chen ran for Kaohsiung County magistrate, but lost by Tsai Ming-yao of the Kuomintang (KMT) by just over 3,000 votes. She was elected to the Legislative Yuan in 1982. In 1985, Yu Chen ran for Kaohsiung County commissioner a second time and defeated incumbent commissioner Tsai Ming-yao in a rematch. She became the first female county commissioner in 1987, following the end of martial law in Taiwan. Yu Chen served as county commissioner for two terms until 1993.

Her son, Yu Cheng-hsien, succeeded her as Kaohsiung County Commissioner for two consecutive, four year terms. He then served as Taiwan's Interior Minister from 2002 to 2004 as a member of Democratic Progressive Party.

Yu Chen was later named an adviser to President Chen Shui-bian.

Death
She died at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Kaohsiung on May 26, 2014, at the age of 87. Her funeral was held in the Yu family's hometown of Ciaotou District.

Jacopo de Antonio; also called Jacobello Antonello, Jacobello da Messina, or Iacobello di Antonello (c. 1456 – after 1482), was an Italian painter from Messina, Sicily, active during the Renaissance. He was the son of Antonello Da Messina. Jacobello may be the same as Pino da Messina.

Biography

The son of the painter  Antonello Da Messina, Jacobello was probably born at Messina some time before 1457, and  almost certainly traveled to Venice with his father  during the 1460s and 1470s. He was also active in Naples and is mentioned in his father's will of 1479. Few works are attributed to him. His  only signed and dated work to survive is a Madonna and Child, dated 1480, in the Accademia Carrara at Bergamo.

Alfonso Franco of Messina is said to have been his pupil.

Sigma Herculis, Latinized from σ Her, is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Hercules. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.18, making it bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.36 mas as seen from Earth, Sigma Herculis is located about 310 light years away from the Sun.

The components of this binary system have a separation of 7 AU, and are orbiting their common barycenter with a period of 7.4 years and an eccentricity of 0.5. The primary, component A, is magnitude 4.20 B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V. At an age of around 404 million years, it is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 280 km/s. This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 18% larger than the polar radius. The star has an estimated 2.60 times the mass of the Sun, 4.91 times the Sun's radius, and is radiating 230 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,794 K.

The primary is emitting an infrared excess, suggesting the presence of an orbiting debris disk with a temperature of 80 K located at a radius of 157 AU. There may be a second disk orbiting between 7 and 30 AU with a temperature of . The Poynting–Robertson lifetime of the dust grains in this inner belt is around 46,000 years − much less than the age of the star. Hence the grains are being replenished, presumably through collisions between larger objects. Circumstellar gas is visible in ultraviolet images from the FUSE satellite, which is likely being emitted by the circumstellar matter then driven outward by the star's radiation.

The secondary, component B, has a magnitude of 7.70 and is an A-type main-sequence star. It has around 1.5 times the mass of the Sun and 7.4 times the Sun's luminosity.

Starkweather was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island to Oliver and Miriam (Clay) Starkweather. He graduated from Brown College in 1822, tutored there until 1824, and then left to study law in Windham, Connecticut. Starkweather was admitted to the bar in Columbus in 1826. Starkweather moved to Cleveland soon after and joined the Cleveland Grays in 1837, where he took a prominent position in Cleveland politics. Starkweather was elected mayor in 1844, won reelection in 1845, and again in 1857 for a 2-year term. He was the first judge of the Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas elected under the new Constitution and served a 5-year term.  Starkweather helped establish the first high school in Cleveland. He also promoted railroads in Cleveland and helped establish the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad.

Katsuhiko Oku (奥 克彦 Oku Katsuhiko, 3 January 1958 – 29 November 2003) was a Japanese diplomat who played rugby for Oxford and Waseda University. In Britain he was known as "Katsu".

Character and life 
A very popular and dynamic personality, he later became a diplomat and was sent from the Japanese embassy in London to Iraq where he was killed by unknown assailants with his colleague Masamori Inoue and their Iraqi driver when their car was ambushed on 29 November 2003. He was promoted posthumously to ambassador in recognition of his work by the Japanese foreign ministry (Gaimusho).

Oku made a point of visiting many countries and finding out what the local people wanted. He saw it as the first duty of a diplomat.

Since 2004 an Oku Memorial Trophy has been contested annually in Richmond, London by the Kew Occasionals club (founded by Katsu Oku's good friend Reg Clark), London Japanese RFC and some Japanese teams. (See RFU's official newspaper Touchline, February 2007 issue).

Charitable fund 
A charitable fund has been set up in his name for the children of Iraq and a collection at the 2004 Oxford-Cambridge Varsity Match went towards that fund. Proceeds from the recent game in Japan between Waseda and Oxford (which Waseda won for the first time ever) also went to the fund, and the game was called the Katsuhiko Oku Memorial match. It was played on 20 September 2004 and Waseda won 25-9. The average weight of the forwards was Oxford 107 kg, Waseda 99 kg. The record now stands at one win, one draw and ten losses.

Katsuyuki Kiyomiya, the coach of Waseda's highly successful rugby team 2001–2006, was a friend of Mr. Oku, and is a trustee of his memorial fund in Japan. Together they invented a slogan "ULTIMATE CRUSH".

Germany's Boris Becker and Michael Stich defeated South Africa's Wayne Ferreira and Piet Norval in the final, 7–6(7–5), 4–6, 7–6(7–5), 6–3 to win the gold medal in Men's Doubles tennis at the 1992 Summer Olympics. It was Germany's first medal in the event, though German player Friedrich Traun had been part of a mixed team that won in 1896. It was South Africa's first medal in the men's doubles since 1912 (and first medal in any Olympic event since 1960, due to the 1964–1988 ban resulting from apartheid). Croatia's Goran Ivanišević and Goran Prpić and Argentina's Javier Frana and Christian Miniussi won the bronze medals, which were both countries' first medals in the event.

The tournament was held at the Vall d'Hebron complex on Montjuïc, Barcelona, Spain from 30 July to 7 August 1992. There were 30 pairs from 30 nations, with each nation limited to one pair (two players),  though the Moroccan and Hungarian pairs did not start.

Background

This was the ninth appearance of men's doubles tennis. The event has been held at every Summer Olympics where tennis has been on the program: from 1896 to 1924 and then from 1988 to the current program. A demonstration event was held in 1968.

Germany's Boris Becker and Michael Stich were prominent singles players, but not well known as a doubles team.

The Bahamas, Croatia, Portugal, Puerto Rico, San Marino, and Slovenia each made their debut in the event. Great Britain made its seventh appearance in the event, most of any nation.

Competition format

The competition was a single-elimination tournament. Unlike the pre-hiatus tournaments, there was no bronze-medal match. All matches were best-of-five sets. Tiebreaks were used for any set before the fifth that reached 6–6.

Louis B. Colavecchio (January 1, 1942 – July 6, 2020) was an American casino counterfeiter known as "The Coin".  While residing in Rhode Island, Colavecchio defrauded several Atlantic City and Connecticut casinos until his arrest and initial conviction in 1998.  He had led a gang which fabricated numerous slot machine coins using hardened steel dies of the originals, and was revealed when casinos began to notice a surplus of coins on their gaming floors.  Sentenced to seven years, Colavecchio was released in 2006.  He was arrested by the FBI only a few months later after having resumed his activities, and released on a $25,000 surety bond. His counterfeiting equipment was auctioned off on eBay following his arrest, and crimes were the subject of a documentary series Breaking Vegas from The History Channel, where he was portrayed by Angelo Fierro.  Due to the initial success of his crime, casinos have slowly phased out tokens, replacing them with paper vouchers.  Today slot machines will dispense a paper voucher when a player cashes out.  The vouchers are then redeemed for cash at kiosks located next to the cashier.

Colavecchio collaborated with Andy Thibault, a veteran journalist, and Franz Douskey, a professor at Gateway Community College, to write a memoir, “You Thought It Was More – Adventures of the World’s Greatest Counterfeiter, Louis The Coin.” It was published by IceBox Publishing LLC in 2015.

Thibault is now the editor and publisher of The Winsted Citizen, a nonprofit newspaper founded by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, which covers Nader's hometown of Winsted, Conn.

In August 2019, Colavecchio was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to manufacturing counterfeit $100 bills. He died a few weeks after a federal judge granted him compassionate release from the Federal Medical Center in Butner, N.C., a prison for inmates with special health needs.

Florence Adelaide Fowle Adams (October 15, 1863 – July 31, 1916) was an American dramatic reader, actor, author, and teacher.

Biography
She was born Florence Adelaide Fowle in Chelsea, Massachusetts, the only child of the artist Edward Augustus Fowle. She attended the Chelsea public school, the Girls' Latin School in Boston, and the Boston School of Oratory, from which she graduated in 1884.

Fowle joined the faculty of the Boston School of Oratory, where she taught the Delsarte method of dramatic expression developed by the teacher François Delsarte. Feeling the lack of a textbook for beginning students that clearly set forth the principles of the Delsarte method, she published her own book on the Delsarte method, Gestures and Pantomimic Action (1891), using herself as the model for the volume's many illustrations.

She occasionally appeared on stage in dramatic roles; for example, as Julie de Mortemar in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's play Richelieu. She also organized her own company of young women for staging tableaux vivants, the Boston Ideal Tableaux Company.
