The Consolidated Vultee XP-81 (later redesignated ZXF-81) is a development of the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation to build a single seat, long range escort fighter that combined use of both turbojet and turboprop engines. Although promising, the lack of suitable engines combined with the end of World War II doomed the project.

Design and development
Two prototype aircraft were ordered on 11 February 1944 that were designated XP-81. The engine selection was an attempt to couple the high-speed capability of the jet engine with the endurance offered by the propeller engine. The XP-81 was designed to use the General Electric TG-100 turboprop engine (later designated XT31 by the US military) in the nose driving a four-bladed propeller and a GE J33 turbojet in the rear fuselage. The turboprop would be used for normal flight and cruising and the turbojet added for high-speed flight.

Operational history

The first XP-81 (serial 44-91000) was completed in January 1945 but because of developmental problems the turboprop engine was not ready for installation. A decision was then made to mount a complete V-1650-7 engine package from a P-51D aircraft in place of the turboprop for initial flight tests. This was done in a week and the Merlin-powered XP-81 was sent to the Muroc airbase where it flew for the first time on 11 February 1945. During 10 flight test hours, the XP-81 displayed good handling characteristics except for inadequate directional stability due to the longer forward portion of the fuselage (this was rectified by enlarging the vertical tail).

While 13 YP-81 pre-production aircraft had been ordered, the capture of Guam and Saipan eliminated the need for long-range, high-speed escort fighters and then, just before VJ Day the contract was cancelled, after 85% of the engineering was completed. The YP-81 was to be essentially the same as the prototype but with a lighter and more powerful GE TG-110 (XT41) turboprop engine, the wing moved aft 10 inches (0.25 m), and armament of either six .50 cal (12.7 mm) machine guns or six 20 mm cannon.

After the XP-81 was returned to Vultee Field, the TG-100 turboprop was installed and flight testing resumed, including the first flight by an American turboprop-powered aircraft on 21 December 1945. However, the turboprop engine was not able to produce its designed power; producing only the same output as the Merlin (1,490 hp or 1112 kW) with the resultant performance limited to that of the Merlin-engined version.

With the termination of hostilities, the two prototypes continued to be tested until 1947 when they were both consigned to a bombing range as photography targets.

Surviving aircraft
Both prototypes are in storage at the National Museum of the United States Air Force near Dayton, Ohio.

(Hoyt) Clay Puett (born 1899 Chillicothe, Texas – 1998) was the inventor of the enclosed electric starting gate used at all major thoroughbred race tracks around the world. On July 1, 1939, Puett's invention made its debut at Exhibition Park Race Track, Vancouver, British Columbia.  It was an immediate success. By the end of 1940, Puett's gate was a fixture at all major North American race tracks.

Prior to Puett's invention, races were commonly started with ropes, ribbons, or wooden barriers. As a young man, Puett had worked as a rider, as well as a starter, and knew of the dangers that were associated with these methods for starting a race. He began work on a prototype of his invention in 1931, while working as a starter in Greeley, Colorado. Puett's company, True Center Gate in Phoenix, Arizona, still manufactures gates for the racing industry, and an award bearing Puett's name is given to innovators in racing by the University of Arizona's yearly Symposium on Racing.

Fame
His vital contribution to the sport of horse racing is noted in such publications as "Horse Racing's Top 100 Moments", Sports Illustrated, and The Blood Horse, as well as being the subject of numerous documentaries and news articles.  He is also featured in an exhibit in the Kentucky Derby Museum, in Louisville, Kentucky.  In 1988, Puett was featured as part of a question on the game show Jeopardy!

Old Boots (), also known as the Old Shoes Monument () is a sculpture located in Cartagena, Colombia. The statue was created in honor of Colombian poet , who, in his poem A mi Ciudad Nativa , compared the city of Cartagena to a pair of old boots.

History 
The sculpture was originally created out of enameled cement by Colombian artist Tito Lombana in 1957. It was located by Media Luna but was demolished in 1992 to make way for the construction of the Heredia Bridge and was rebuilt by his brother Hector Lombana in 1994, this time out of bronze.

There is a replica of the piece in Cartagena Plaza in Coral Gables, Florida.

Description 

Located in the Getsemaní neighborhood and overlooked by the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, the statue is composed of two large bronze boots with laces, with one standing up straight and the other lying flat on the ground. They are located on cement and are surrounded by pruned bushes.

Louise Droste-Roggemann (20 October 1865 – 30 December 1945) was a German painter.

Life 
Droste-Roggemann completed school in Bad Zwischenahn where she excelled in drawing. She lived with her parents and siblings in a house on Bahnhofstraße. The house was demolished many years ago and today there is an old people's home on the property where Drose-Roggemann's parents used to live.

After finishing school, Droste-Roggemann decided to become an artist. She was able to finance her education and other trips from an inheritance. Around 1890, she left her parents' home and travelled to Weimar and Dresden. Both cities had art academies, whose teachers gave private painting and drawing lessons as an additional source of income. Since women were not yet admitted to art academies, private classes were the only available option for Droste-Roggemann. She probably lived in Dresden between 1890 and 1891, where she became acquainted with the Oldenburg painter Bernhard Winter, who went to the Kunstakademie Dresden in 1887 and studied painting there until 1891. Until 1900 Droste-Roggemann undertook many study trips, on which she created oil paintings and pencil sketches. She created many pencil sketches with location details of her excursions to the mountains in Scandinavian countries.

Droste-Roggemann lived in Bad Zwischenahn from 1901, and became acquainted with the merchant Oskar Droste (1851–1941) from Bremen who had taken over a peat factory in the village. They married in 1902 and Louise took the surname Droste-Roggemann. In 1904 a daughter was born, their only child. Since her return to Bad Zwischenahn, the artist took every opportunity to paint from nature.

The Dugazon family (after their stage name) or the Gourgaud family was a famous acting dynasty in 18th century France.  It was founded by Pierre-Antoine Gourgaud (1706–1774), whose children included the actors Françoise-Rose Gourgaud (1743–1804) and Jean-Henri Gourgaud (1746–1809).  It also includes members of the family by marriage, such as Jean-Henri's wife Louise-Rosalie Lefebvre (1755–1821), a mezzo-soprano opera singer who used the stage name Madame Dugazon after her marriage.  Via Françoise-Rose's marriage to Angiolo Vestris, it also became linked to the Vestris family.

"Tower of Song" is a song written by Leonard Cohen that appears on his 1988 album I'm Your Man. In a 2014 reader's poll, Rolling Stone listed it as the 8th favorite Cohen song.

The genesis of "Tower of Song" is described in Ira Nadel's 1996 Cohen memoir Various Positions:
"Tower of Song" is the keynote work of I'm Your Man.  With it, Cohen wanted to "make a definitive statement about the heroic enterprise of the craft" of songwriting.  In the early eighties, he called the work "Raise My Voice in Song." His concern was with the aging songwriter, and the "necessity to transcend one's own failure by manifesting as the singer, as the songwriter."  He had abandoned the song, but one night in Montreal he finished the lyrics and called an engineer and recorded it in one take with a toy synthesizer.

Cohen revised the song, which contains the rumination, "I was born like this, I had no choice/I was born with the gift of a golden voice."  Ever mindful of his reputation as a "flat singer" among critics, audiences often reacted when Cohen sang these lines live. Cohen also cited Hank Williams, a songwriter he had professed great admiration for, in the song ("...a hundred floors above me...").

Cohen recited the lyrics in full when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"Tower of Song" has been covered by many artists, notably on the tribute albums I'm Your Fan (separate covers by Robert Forster and by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (separate covers by Martha Wainwright and U2). It also appears, among others, on Marianne Faithfull's album Vagabond Ways, Tom Jones' album Spirit in the Room  and The Jesus & Mary Chain's Rollercoaster EP.

Shaar Hashomayim Choir, Willie Nelson, Céline Dion, Peter Gabriel and Chris Martin performed the song at the 2017 Tower of Song: A Memorial Tribute to Leonard Cohen concert.

Kjell Aukrust (19 March 1920 – 24 December 2002) was a Norwegian author, poet, artist and humorist.  Aukrust is principally known for his Flåklypa stories and Flåklypa drawings.

Personal life
Aukrust was born in Alvdal in Hedmark, Norway as a son of Lars Olsen Aukrust (1886–1965) and Louise Walmsnæss (1887–1973). His father was rector at Storsteigen Agricultural School in Alvdal. He was a nephew of poet Olav Aukrust, brother of Odd Aukrust, a noted economist who was responsible for research at Statistics Norway. He was married to Kari Holter in 1947.
He trained at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry 1938–42. In 1939, one of his drawings was accepted at the Autumn Exhibition in Oslo.  His memoirs of his childhood in Alvdal appeared in the series of three books: Simen, Bonden and Bror Min published in 1958, 1964 and 1960.

Career

He is most famous for his creation of the fictional Norwegian village of Flåklypa populated with a cast of idiosyncratic characters. 
He created the Flåklypa society while being an illustrator and columnist for the magazine Mannskapsavisa, with characters such as Reodor Felgen, Solan Gundersen, Ludvig and Emanuel Desperados. His column, which was modelled as a collection of satirical newspaper articles, was eventually renamed Flåklypa Tidende. This setting was the basis of the 1975 animated film "Flåklypa Grand Prix", directed by Ivo Caprino. The film was the first full-length animated feature in Norway, became an international success and has been translated into more than seventy languages. In Britain it is known as "Pinchcliffe Grand Prix". The protagonist Reodor Felgen (English version: Theodore Rimspoke) has become synonymous in Norway with Rube Goldberg type contraptions.

Some of the characters who populated the village of Pinchcliffe were also the basis for the first full-length hand drawn animated feature in Norway, "Solan, Ludvig og Gurin med reverompa". Released in 1998, this movie takes place in Oslo and Alvdal. In Britain it is known as Gurin with the Foxtail.

Huset Aukrust
In 1996, Aukrustsenteret (now Huset Aukrust) was opened in Alvdal. The center was designed by architect Sverre Fehn. In addition to Aukrust's drawings, Huset Aukrust contains many of Kjell Aukrust's imaginative technical devices, such as a model of Il Tempo Gigante, the car featured in the film Flåklypa Grand Prix.

HNLMS Isaac Sweers was one of four  built for the Royal Netherlands Navy during World War II.

Design and construction
The keel was laid on 26 November 1938. The ship was launched on 16 March 1940 and the unfinished ship was evacuated to England after the German invasion of the Netherlands. She was completed in Great Britain, with six British 4-inch dual purpose guns instead of planned five 120 mm guns. The ship was modern for her time, she was fast and had two manually stabilized 40 mm Bofors AA-guns, each with its own "Hazemeyer" fire control, an on-mount mechanical analog fire control computer integrated with a on-mount optical rangefinder. It was the first Dutch ship to use radar to aim its AA-guns. The ship's plans were saved from the Germans and elements were incorporated into Royal Navy ship designs.

Operations 

Isaac Sweers was part of the Allied flotilla of destroyers which torpedoed and sank the Italian cruisers  and  on 13 December 1941, at the Battle of Cape Bon. She riddled Alberto da Giussano with gunfire at short range and launched four torpedoes against the ; all of them missed their target. She escorted the important convoy MW 8B to Malta in January 1942. During this mission the British destroyer  was torpedoed by the German submarine  on 12 January 1942. Isaac Sweers towed the stricken British destroyer through a field of burning oil and saved her entire crew of 240 sailors. They were taken to Tobruk.

During Operation Torch, on 11 November 1942, along with , Isaac Sweers helped rescue 241 men from the ship Nieuw Zeeland, a Dutch troop transport that had been torpedoed by the  at  - about  east of Gibraltar, in the Mediterranean. On 13 November 1942, Isaac Sweers was hit by two torpedoes from the German submarine  under command of Wilhelm Dommes. She sank with the loss of 108 of her 194 crew.
