Abelardo Lafuente Garcia-Rojo (30 April 1871 in Fuentidueña de Tajo – 1931 in Shanghai) was a Spanish architect and entrepreneur who had his own studio in colonial Shanghai. Between 1913 and 1931 he was the only Spaniard to have an architect studio registered in the city; Lafuente collaborated with several contemporary architects. Lafuente blended the mozarab and moorish styles from Spain into Chinese architecture. In 2009, the Spanish architect Alvaro Leonardo Perez established the Lafuente Research Project. The findings of this project were first presented at the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes. The Lafuente Research Project is ongoing.

History 
Lafuente's professional career began in Manila. His studio was named A. Lafuente Architect & Contractor. In 1913 Lafuente moved to Shanghai where he opened a new studio named A. Lafuente Garcia-Rojo, Architect & Contractor. Later, Lafuente joined American architect G. O. Wootten to form the Lafuente & Wootten studio. The two architects worked together for several years, their most notable work being the ballroom at the Astor House Hotel, built in 1917. After this period he maintained the studio on his own and called it A. Lafuente Gª Rojo Architect. Afterwards he partnered with Russian architect A. J. Yaron, changing the studio's name once again to Lafuente & Yaron.

For the better part of the following 10 years Lafuente worked for the biggest hotel company in Asia at the time: the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels Ltd., rehabilitating and refurbishing their buildings. His most important work during this project was the Majestic Hotel (1924) where he designed its new ballroom (the most luxurious in Asia at that time). Some of his other projects included churches, mosques, private villas, apartment buildings, movie theaters, private clubs, and hospitals, among others.

His reputation in the Spanish colony is described in the book by Vicente Blasco Ibanez La vuelta al mundo de un novelista. Spanish entrepreneur Antonio Ramos was his most important influence during his time in China and his most outstanding client. Ramos brought motion pictures to China. Lafuente was commissioned to build some of Ramos' most important cinemas.

Lafuente also worked in North America. In Los Angeles and in Tijuana he built houses. During 1927–1930, Lafuente maintained operations in Shanghai while he developed his business in California and Mexico. At the end of this period, after being significantly affected by the Crash of 1929, he decided to return to Shanghai and undertake more projects there. He died in Shanghai at the Shanghai General Hospital in 1931, aged 60.

Birdbath, constructed of fieldstone and concrete, is an early 20th-century decorative feature on the historic Oldfields estate on the campus of the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is now an accessioned work of art in the collection of the IMA.

Description
This birdbath is constructed from large, smooth stones laid in concentric, circular tiers, set in a thick concrete mortar. The large basin of the bath curves out from a more cylindrical pedestal that slopes out a bit toward the ground. The overall silhouette resembles a chalice. The basin is lined with a coating of concrete and has been re-lined at least once. The most recent layer is made from concrete with a larger aggregate than the finer concrete used throughout the birdbath. There is no drainage or circulation system built into the bath.

Historical information
The grounds of Oldfields were landscaped by Percival Gallagher of the Olmsted Brothers in the 1920s; the birdbath presumably predates the Olmsted landscape. The property and all sculptures on it were donated to the IMA by the family of former Oldfields owner Josiah K. Lilly Jr., in 1967. In 2001 the outdoor sculptures were assessed, and eighteen selected pieces were accessioned into the IMA's Lilly House collection. Birdbath was assigned Accession Number LH2001.233.

Provenance
An undated Landon-era photograph (archived at the IMA) indicates that this birdbath has been on the Oldfields estate since the Landon era and possibly since before Gallagher's landscaping.

Nothing is known of its maker or origins. However, the materials are very similar to the original fountain base in the Formal Garden, which was constructed of similar field stone and concrete. (This can also be seen in historic photographs.) These may have been made from local materials, and perhaps they were built by the same person.

Location history
This birdbath has been on the Oldfields estate since the Landon era, when it was positioned in the middle of the scenic path along the property-bordering canal (as shown in an undated Landon-era photograph).

By 1990 the birdbath was moved for protection from traffic, as the canal path has become a utility road for IMA groundskeeping. The birdbath is now located near the path to the grounds barn.

Condition
The sculpture is monitored, cleaned, and treated regularly by the IMA art conservation staff.

Summit Management Services, Inc is an American property management company based in Akron, Ohio.

History
Summit Management Services, Inc (“SMSI”) was founded in 1980, though its genesis was actually in 1979 when the founder, Herbert Newman, began purchasing, renovating and operating over 15 properties in SMSI's original submarket of Akron. The company was initially founded for the management of Section 8 subsidized housing, most of which was financed with FHA-insured loans (i.e., 221 (d)( 4), 223(f), and 236). However, since then, the focus has been on high-end, luxury apartments in suitable neighborhoods as well as managing 221(d)(4) and 223(f) market rent projects.

Herbert Newman, born and raised in Akron, Ohio, started his career from Northeast Ohio after graduating from Ohio State University and receiving a Juris Doctor from the University of Akron School of Law.

After his law practice, Newman served as director of Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority for five years. As a part of this organization, Newman introduced the use of tax-free financing for the development of subsidized housing. This was done by using revenue bonds sold under Federal Housing Regulation 811(b), which was also partially authored by Newman. Before founding the company, Newman wrote many of the laws that govern HUD/FHA financing. These lead to the development of housing during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This knowledge was then imparted to Summit MultiCapital to obtain favorable debt financing through FHA/Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other financial institutions.

Summit Management Services, Inc. now employs 120 full-time staff and Newman remains the majority stockholder. The company currently manages over 4,000 multifamily units comprising mostly class "A" and student apartments. These are all owned by Newman and related entities.

François Duteil (born 21 June 1944) is a French trade unionist and political activist.

Born in Poilley, Manche, Duteil trained as thermal engineer, then undertook compulsory military service in the French Air Force.  In 1965, he began working at the power station in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, joining the National Federation of Energy (FNE) trade union.  The following year, he joined the French Communist Party (PCF).

Duteil rapidly came to prominence in the union movement, and by the end of 1967 was the head of the power station's union branch, served on the secretariat of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) in Saint-Ouen and the executive committee of the CGT in Seine-Saint-Denis.  During the events of May 1968, he led an occupation of the power station.

In 1971, Duteil became the head of the union's national youth section, serving on its national executive from 1972, and its federal secretariat from 1975.  He moved to become the FNE's organisation secretary, then in 1979 was elected as general secretary of the union.  In 1982, he was finally elected to the bureau of the CGT.  In 1981, he became head of the Advisory Coordinating Committee of European Energy Unions, and in 1985, he was elected as president of the Trade Union International of Energy Workers.  The same year, he was also elected to the central committee of the PCF, and from 1987, sat on the party's political bureau.

Duteil stood down as leader of the FNE in 1989, but remained head of its political and industrial sections until 1992.  That year, he became director of the Vie Ouvrière magazine.  He became head of the new CGT Mines-Energy Institute of Social History in 2002, continuing in this post after leaving his remaining trade union positions in 2003.

Joe Walter (born April 30, 1947) is a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, who represented the 47th District briefly in 2010.  He was appointed following the resignation of Peter Ujvagi, who resigned to take the position of Lucas County Administrator.

While Ujvagi was initially expected to run for the Ohio Senate, he was hired as Lucas County Administrator.

The appointment of Ujvagi set up what many thought was going to be a legislative shuffle, where Teresa Fedor would be appointed to Ujvagi's seat, and Edna Brown then appointed to Fedor's seat. However, Toledo City Councilman Joe McNamara also sought the appointment to the Senate. As a result, Fedor kept her seat, Brown hers, and Walter was appointed to a nine-month stint in Ujvagi's seat.

Vowing not to run for a full term, Fedor won the seat in the 2010 general election, and replaced Walter in 2011.  Following his time in the legislature, Walter retired.

Dimie Cat, (born 28 October 1984) is a French singer and songwriter.

Music career 
In 2007, she met French producer Franck Rougier. Together, they wrote the two albums of Dimie Cat: Pin Me Up and ZigZag and created their own record label Dream'up. Dimie's jazzy vocal style is a mix of 40s-50s jazz, combined with modern beats and sounds. Adopting a sample based approach, their usual method is for Franck Rougier to produce the tracks at home and then Dimie Cat writes the words.

Since 2015, Dimie has disappeared from public view and there is no information on her current status anywhere on the Internet.

Pin Me Up (2009) 
Dimie Cat's debut album Pin Me Up (released 22 July 2009), pays a tribute to the pin-up girls and vamps of the Hollywood's Golden Age and to the Swing Era. Two singles are taken from this first opus: Post-it and Glam, that appears on several electro swing compilations.

ZigZag (2012) 
Her follow-up album ZigZag is released digitally 1 November 2012. First single is untitled Ping Pong and a second music video was released in February on track La voiture. One of the songs, Woody Woody, pays a tribute to American director Woody Allen through his film The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. This album insists on the dixieland and electro swing touch, with tracks such as Pasta e Basta, V.E.S.P.A or AAA (Triple A).

ZigZag is promoted in Japan and Korea by Japanese label Rambling Records.

Once Upon A Dream (2014) 
Once Upon A Dream is a Disney themes covers album released 23 April 2014 for the Asian market. Ordered by Japanese label Rambling Records, this special album confirms the presence of Dimie Cat in the territory and charted Top 3 of iTunes Japan Jazz Chart from the first week of its release.

Bedřich Schnirch, or Friedrich Franz Schnirch (7 June 1791, Pátek – 25 November 1868, Vienna) was a Czech engineer, builder, Imperial Councilor, and Chief Inspector for the State Railways; primarily known for designing chain bridges. His nephew, , was also a well known builder; and his grand-nephew was the sculptor, Bohuslav Schnirch.

Life and work
Schnirch attended primary school in Horn and Krems an der Donau. From 1819 to 1821, he continued his studies at the k.k. Polytechnic Institute (now the Vienna University of Technology), where he worked with ; who later oversaw the repair and rebuilding of several bridges in Vienna. 

In 1821, he entered the service of Count Franz Anton von Magnis (1786–1861), owner of an estate in Strážnice, where he would manage the reconstruction of historic buildings. His first assignment, however, involved building an access road to an extension of the Count's park; on the opposite side of a river. Schnirch proposed what was then a technical novelty: a chain bridge, none of which had yet been built in that part of Europe. From 1826, he began applying the same principles to the construction of fireproof hanging iron roofs.

After 1827, Schnirch was employed by the Civil Service. In 1842, he became Chief Engineer at the Vienna Railway Directorate. In 1848, he was one of the founders of the Austrian Association of Engineers, which became the  in 1864. He was awarded a patent for a type of suspension bridge in 1858. The following year, he became a Section Chief at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Public Works. After 1861, he was Chief Inspector for railway structures; in which position he also helped plan a rail line from Olomouc to Prague. He retired in 1863, and was awarded a Knight's Cross in the Order of Franz Joseph.

Schnirch died at the age of seventy-seven, from what was called "Altersschwäche" (old-age weakness). In 1888, a street in Vienna's Landstraße district was named after him.

In the use of chain bridges, some design defects emerged in later years: the underestimation of the traffic load, and the insufficient consideration of lateral wind forces, which led to the demolition or reconstruction of numerous bridges, including some by Schnirch. Perhaps the most notable example was the "Bridge of Emperor Franz I", completed in 1841; becoming only the second permanent bridge over the Vltava, after the Charles Bridge from the 15th century. It was in service until 1898, when it was replaced with the current stone bridge; known since 1919 as the Legion Bridge, in honor of the Czechoslovak Legion.
