The Porterfield Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft design and manufacturing company founded in 1934 in Kansas by Edward E. Porterfield.

History

Edward Porterfield was running a flying school at the Fairfax Airport outside Kansas City. He had been operating Jennies and Lincoln Standard biplane trainers, and felt the need for a more suitable and better-performing trainer aircraft. He consulted with several aeronautical engineers of the period, including Giuseppe Mario Bellanca, and soon launched the production of several light single-engine two-seat high-wing and biplane aircraft. Then, in 1925, he started the American Eagle Aircraft Corporation.

Late in 1929, the worldwide stock market crash severely depressed the sale of non-essential items such as sport airplanes, although American Eagle continued producing airplanes until 1931. Early in that year, Porterfield's company declared bankruptcy and halted production. On 15 May 1931, the company's assets were purchased by the Lincoln-Page Aircraft Company of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Porterfield assumed the title of aircraft sales representative of that company, which became known as the American Eagle-Lincoln Aircraft Corporation, with production headquarters in Lincoln.

Porterfield left the company in 1932, forming then the Porterfield Aircraft Company in 1934. The new company was seen as a comeback for Porterfield and in 1937 it leased the former Federal Sash and Door Company factory. While it never achieved the numerical success of the larger light aircraft manufacturers such as Piper Aircraft, Aeronca and Taylorcraft, the planes were well made and popular with pilots. A focus on selling to Central and South American countries achieved some success. With the start of World War II, however, light aircraft production for civilian use came to a stop. Harlow Aircraft Company bought a one-third interest in the company in 1940. In an attempt to take advantage of the large growth in training due to the war, the company founded a technical school in December and purchased another in 1941. Bigger companies took great benefit from military contracts but Porterfield, with no large military orders forthcoming, eventually shut down. The final straw for the company came in 1942, when it failed to secure a contract to build liaison aircraft for the U.S. military.

Portfield was succeeded by the Columbia Aircraft Company, which was created when the firm Auchincloss, Parker & Redpath took over the former. However, Columbia itself soon went into receivership. The Ward Furniture Company later took over Porterfield's inventory and glider production contracts.

Edward Porterfield died from a heart attack in 1948.

"The Things That I Used to Do" is a blues standard written by Guitar Slim. He recorded it in New Orleans, where the young Ray Charles arranged and produced the session.  Specialty Records released the song as a single in 1953 and it became a bestseller the following year. Specialty founder Art Rupe believed that the appeal would be limited to the Southern U.S. rural audience. However, urban rhythm and blues radio stations in the North began airing the song and built it into a national hit. As a result, Guitar Slim became in great demand as a performer and played at venues such as the Apollo Theater in New York City.

The single was one of the biggest hits in Specialty's history and stayed on the Billboard's Rhythm and Blues Records charts for 42 weeks. The song remained at number one for six weeks and was the best-selling R&B record of the year, selling more than a million copies.

Composition and recording
Charles's arrangement and piano accompaniment emphasize the religious tone of intense but philosophical regret in the singer's voice, giving the song a gospel-influenced feel. Like Fats Domino, Guitar Slim had a voice with a less adult sound than that of the typical blues shouters of the time, and his lyrics are less explicitly sexual.

Influence and recognition
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included the tune on its list of the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll". Stylistically, the song also contributed to the development of soul music.
In addition, the song was a success, influencing rock and roll by demonstrating the commercial success of using content that appeals to white listeners and by the effectiveness of its gospel feel.  The song had a major impact on the "electric sound" of rock music and featured distorted overtones on the electric guitar a full decade before Jimi Hendrix. Guitar Slim was a favorite of Hendrix, who recorded an impromptu version with guitarist Johnny Winter on slide guitar in 1969. It was officially released on the compilation Both Sides of the Sky (2018).

"The Things That I Used to Do" became a standard as a result of Guitar Slim's distinctive guitar figuring and the rising and falling melody. Blues historian Gerard Herzhaft noted that it "remains a classic of the New Orleans blues [which] was covered by Pee Wee Crayton, Tina Turner, Lonnie Brooks, and Joe Turner". In 1964, a version by James Brown cracked the Billboard Hot 100 at number 99 (the magazine's R&B chart was suspended at the time).

el:Πρώτη της Αιγιαλείας
also known as  and  is a 2003 Japanese Pink film directed by Toshiya Ueno. It was chosen as Best Film of the year at the Pink Grand Prix ceremony.

Plot
A diverse group of people, all with troubles in their daily lives, meet online and decide to commit suicide together. Isolated from society at large, they form a physical bond as the appointed time approaches.

Critical reception
Anglophone pink film scholar Jasper Sharp notes that there are two different audiences for contemporary pink films: The traditional pink theater-goer who is generally interested in seeing sex on the screen, and the devotees of pink cinema represented by such publications as P*G magazine and its website. As with many of Kokuei's pink films, Ambiguous did not prove very marketable for the traditional softcore porn audience, in part because of its downbeat subject matter. However, when looked at as a film which happens to include sex scenes—Kokuei's approach to the pink genre—Sharp writes Obscene Internet Group "stands as one of the most genuinely insightful and of-the-moment films produced within the Japanese independent sector in its year."

The readers of P*G magazine showed their approval of the film by awarding it Best Film and giving Hidekazu Takahara the Silver Prize for screenplay.

Availability
Like many pink films, Ambiguous has gone under more than one title. Originally released in theatres as Obscene Internet Group: Make Me Come!!, the film was shown at the Pink Grand Prix under the title Ambiguous, the title under which it was also released on DVD in Japan and internationally. The film has also been released on DVD in Japan as Group Suicide: The Last Supper. Sacrament released the film as "Ambiguous" on English-subtitled Region 2 DVD on 22 February 2006.

Eugene Garin (30 November 1922, Odesa, Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic – 14 June 1994, California, United States) was a contemporary seascape artist. Born in Odesa, Ukraine, (under USSR at the time) Garin was the most influential seascape artist. He spawned and inspired many of today's great seascape artists through his tremendous talent and imagination. Garin was best known for his rendition of the transparent wave. Influenced by the Russian painter Peter Effremovich Fedatov during his youth in Odesa, Ukraine and later by the works of I. K. Aivazowsky, Garin has combined the traditional beauty of European art with contemporary techniques developed by his own hand. With a prominent career extending over four decades, he broke through barriers in seascape painting technique that had restrained artists for years.

Using texture and a variety of translucent glazes, Garin created compositions that are bold, yet controlled. His compositions are unique and varied, from shipwreck scenes, to romantic moonlit ocean breakers, to sun-drenched seascapes at dusk, to misty coastal coves. The sea is always the commanding force in his paintings, its rich beauty and vastness exemplifies in each composition. The vivid emotional impact which Garin creates excites the. imagination and stirs our inner desire to challenge its eternal domain.

Considered the patriarch of modern seascape art, his paintings hang in many major collections throughout the globe, including Canada, England, South America, South Africa, Japan, Mexico and Russia, as well as hundreds of American homes. Eugene Garin is an artist who appeals to both the novice collector and the connoisseur. He is listed in Who's Who in California and the American Art Analog. Garin has artwork in the permanent collection of the Russian consulate in San Francisco along with the Presidential Palace in Panama. Garin has been featured in national magazines and his works have been on tour around the world for public display. Admired by art critics and his contemporaries, Garin is assured a place in history.

The Rockhill Trolley Museum is a museum and heritage railway in Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania that collects and restores trolley, interurban, and transit cars. Founded in 1960, the museum operates what has been historically referred to as the Shade Gap Electric Railway to demonstrate the operable pieces in its collection. "Shade Gap" refers to the name of a branch of the East Broad Top Railroad, from whom the museum leases it property.

The first car acquired by the museum in 1960 is Johnstown Traction #311.  Recent acquisitions include Public Service Coordinated Transport (later New Jersey Transit), Newark, NJ Presidents' Conference Committee (PCC) Car #6 and Iowa Terminal Railroad Snow Sweeper #3.

The museum formerly operated under its corporate name, Railways to Yesterday. It changed to its current name to acknowledge and enhance its relationship with, and provide mutual promotional support to, its hometown.

The museum is open from May through October and for special holiday events. For the latter—including Easter, Pumpkin Festival in October, and Christmas in Coal Country—the museum partners with the East Broad Top Railroad, which is across the street. While the two organizations are not formally affiliated and do not cross-honor tickets, the railroad sells tickets for the combined events with the trolley museum, and the two organizations share volunteers and labor expertise.

Karl Heinrich Hoff (8 September 1838, Mannheim – 13 May 1890, Karlsruhe) was a German genre painter, best known for his 18th century period scenes. He is generally referred to as The Elder, to distinguish him from his son, , who was also a painter.

Biography 
His father, Carl (1804–1891), was a confectioner. From 1855 to 1858, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe, with Johann Wilhelm Schirmer and Ludwig des Coudres. In 1858, developed an interest in the Düsseldorf school of painting and went there to continue his studies with Benjamin Vautier. After an extended series of study trips through France, Italy, Greece and Eastern Europe, he set up his own business in Düsseldorf, where he produced his first series of genre paintings. During this time, he married Marie Sohn (1841–1893), daughter of the painter Karl Ferdinand Sohn. They had two sons.

He was an active member of the Malkasten, a progressive artists' association and, from 1870 to 1872, served as President of the , the organization that planned the annual carnival. In 1874, he became involved with a private group planning the proposed  , which opened in 1876, and the animal welfare society "Fauna", which was seeking to ensure that the park was properly cared for.

He was also a poet. In 1877, he composed tableaux vivants for the "Kaiserfest", honoring Kaiser Wilhelm I on the occasion of his visit there. The following year, he wrote a comic epic called Schein (appearance), billed as a "sketchbook in verse".In 1878, he was appointed a Professor at the Karlsruhe Academy, succeeding , who had moved to Munich. His pupils there included Alexander Koester and . In 1882, he issued Artists and Art Writers, a controversial brochure containing violent attacks against art critics and criticism in general. In 1886, he made use of his experience with the carnival in Düsseldorf to help  organize a large historical pageant, celebrating the 500th anniversary of the University of Heidelberg.

He suffered from tuberculosis and died in 1890, aged only fifty-one, following a brief illness.

Calamagrostis tweedyi, the Cascade reedgrass or Tweedy's reedgrass, is a perennial in the grass family. It is native to the Pacific Northwest in the United States, in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.

Taxonomy
Cascade reedgrass was first described and published as Deyeuxia tweedyi in 1883 by Frank Lamson-Scribner, who named it in honor of Frank Tweedy, the first to collect it. A fragment of Tweedy's specimen, an alleged isotype, is deposited at the US National Herbarium; the location of the holotype is unknown.

In 1892, Scribner moved Cascade reedgrass to the genus Calamagrostis. Peterson et al. (2019) recently proposed moving it to the genus Greeneochloa in their revision of Calamagrostis based on morphological and molecular evidence. G. tweedyi would be one of two species in that genus.

Description
Calamagrostis tweedyi is a perennial grass to , typically loosely clumped from short rhizomes. Its stem leaves are flat and notably broad, growing to  wide and  long. Its leaves have open sheaths and membranous ligules 6–15 mm long; auricles are absent. The panicle is usually contracted (spike-like), sometimes interrupted at base, up to  long and  wide. Its spikelets consist of two glumes roughly equal in size, which enclose and are slightly longer than the single floret. The sharply bent awn from the lemma exceeds the glumes by as much as 5 mm, a notable characteristic for this species. The callus of the floret is only slightly bearded, the hairs short.

Calamagrostis tweedyi can be distinguished from other reedgrasses in the region by its flat broad leaves combined with long bent awns and only slightly hairy calluses. Vegetative plants are similar to Cinna latifolia, being stout with broad leaves, and the two sometimes grow in the same habitat.

Distribution
Calamagrostis tweedyi is endemic to the Pacific Northwest in the United States, growing in central Washington, Oregon (reported from near Crater Lake), central Idaho, and western Montana. It grows in montane and subalpine moist meadows and coniferous forests at 900–2000 m elevation.

Conservation Status
Due to its restricted (though geographically dispersed) range, relatively few occurrences, lack of protected occurrences, and effects of historic fire exclusion, Cascade reedgrass is ranked G3, globally vulnerable. It is of conservation concern in the states where it occurs.

History
Cascade reedgrass was first collected by Frank Tweedy, on the Green River trail in the Cascade Mountains in Washington Territory in 1882. It likely was Tweedy's first novelty (a species new to science). He discovered it during his first season botanizing in the American West, when he was working as a topographer on the Northern Transcontinental Survey. In his description of the new species, Scribner noted: "Mr. Tweedy has been a careful and zealous collector of the plants of the various sections of our country which he has visited, and it is with pleasure that I dedicate this species to him." It would be the first of many named in his honor. Scribner and Tweedy would later coauthor Grasses of Yellowstone National Park, published in 1886.

Penasse is an unincorporated community in Angle Township, Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, United States. Penasse is located on Penasse Island in Lake of the Woods, in the northern part of Northwest Angle. Its location makes it the northernmost populated place in the contiguous United States. The community was named for Tom Penasse, an American Indian from the area; it had a post office from 1920 to 1969. The explorer La Vérendrye built Fort Saint Charles nearby in 1732.

Mercado Abierto Electrónico (MAE) is an electronic securities and foreign-currency trading market in Argentina. It is based on a modular electronic platform running on specific IT supports, where both government and private fixed-income securities, foreign currencies and swaps are transacted, as well as currency and interest rate futures. In addition, this technological support is used to trade bills of exchange and bonds issued by Banco Central de la República Argentina (BCRA) and for the initial public offering of bonds issued by the National State.

History
Mercado Abierto de Títulos Valores (Open Securities Market) was founded in 1970 after the enactment of Law 17,811, and it began operations at mid-decade. In 1980, its operations expanded remarkably, reaching a broker count in excess of 450. MAE was founded in 1988. International agreements date back to 1999, when the Uruguayan Electronic Stock Exchange (BEVSA) gained access to the use of Sistema de Operaciones Electrónicas (SIOPEL) under an agreement that allowed, among other things, the technological complementation and joint operation of the software for electronic trading.

In 2000, an important agreement was signed with the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange BOVESPA and a license to use this system was granted. Two years later, three organizations – MAE, the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange (BEC) and BEVSA – signed a Master Agreement for the Information and Transaction Interconnection of their respective markets. The interconnection of the Chilean, Argentinean and Uruguayan electronic markets has always been a goal, since these markets have transactional systems that operate over an open platform that lets them connect their systems and servers with other markets, regardless of the distance between them and the technology used.

In January 2004, MAE signed a technological cooperation agreement with Mercado de Valores del Litoral (MVL), one of the most important markets of the interior of the country. Under this agreement, the SIOPEL trading platform was installed for all of its members, representing an important regional integration. In 2005, MAE executed an agreement with the Colombian Stock Exchange (BVC) and the Bank of the Republic (Colombia) (BRC), under which the SIOPEL platform was used in the floating and fixed income markets from the beginning of 2006 in Colombia. That same year, the Buenos Aires Forward Market – Mercado a Término de Buenos Aires – signed an agreement with MAE to receive hosting to use SIOPEL for its futures and options transactions beginning in April 2007.

At the end of 2006, an agreement with the Costa Rica National Stock Exchange (BNVCR) was signed to use SIOPEL. This supported the consolidation of several screens into one, speeding up transactions and providing security that will strengthen their markets.
