76507731 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eton%20Town%20Council%20Offices | Eton Town Council Offices | Eton Town Council Offices is a municipal building in the High Street in Eton, a town in Berkshire, in England. The building, which serves as the meeting place of Eton Town Council, is a locally listed building.
History
The old council offices
Following significant population growth, largely associated the development of Eton College, a local board was appointed in Eton on 6 October 1849. For its first 40 years the Eton Local Board met at various rented rooms in the town. The Baldwin's Bridge Trust, a charity with responsibility for maintaining the adjoining bridge over the stream called Barnes Pool, commissioned a new building at 138 High Street in the 1880s. It was designed in the Gothic Revival style, built in red brick with stone dressings and was completed in 1890. It featured an arched doorway with a hood mould flanked by recessed casement windows with hood moulds. There was an oriel window on the first floor and a mullioned and transomed window on the second floor with a stepped gable above. The building at 138 High Street was designed to serve both as offices for the trust itself and to provide offices and a council chamber for Eton Local Board. The board held its first meeting in the new building on 1 January 1891.
The local board was succeeded by Eton Urban District Council in 1894. The urban district council continued to be based at 138 High Street until around 1957, when it moved to 102 High Street. The building at 138 High Street was then converted for commercial use and, as Bridge House, now serves as a the premises of a cosmetic surgery practice.
The new council offices
The current building was commissioned by the council as the town's fire station. It was designed in the Queen Anne style, built in brick with a painted finish at a cost of £5,200 and was completed in 1904. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the High Street. It featured three round headed openings for access by the fire engines on the ground floor, six sash windows on the first floor and three Diocletian windows on the second floor, all surmounted by three gables. A plaque depicting the coat of arms of Eton was fixed to the main frontage. A roll of honour, to commemorate fire service personnel who had served in the First World War, was unveiled in the building in February 1921. The council continued to use horse-drawn fire engines until a motorised fire engine was acquired in 1922.
After the fire service moved to St Leonards Road in Windsor, the building became the headquarters of the urban district council in around 1957. It continued to serve as the local seat of government until the enlarged Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council was formed in 1974. It subsequently became the offices and meeting place of Eton Town Council.

It was built in 1909 on the site of Girard's first school dating from 1867. At first it housed only an elementary school, but expanded in 1923 to include a high school. The school closed in 1970 and was merged into Central High School. The building was a two-story Neoclassical structure built of brick. The façade had a central, gabled three-bay projection with entrances on each side. Windows were two-over-two double-hung sashes. A rear wing was added around 1950.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and was demolished in 1994.

76507848 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolt%2015%20Gap | Kolt 15 Gap | Kolt 15 Gap is a 1971 Yugoslav short documentary film written and directed by Jovan Jovanović and Miodrag Milošević. It follows the life, views and whreabouts of an unemployed Marxist metalworker. The film belongs to the Yugoslav Black Wave.
It won awards at festivals in Oberhausen, Utrecht and Belgrade, was included in the Anthology of Films of the Oberhausen Festival (published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the festival), and American film historian Erik Barnouw included it in his 1974 book Documentary – A History of the Non-Fiction Film.
Content
The film follows the life and philosophy of Stanoje Ćebić, an unemployed Yugoslav metalworker and self-proclaimed Marxist fanatic, through narration and footage of him in various places mainly in and around Belgrade, which is dynamically spliced together with various other footage and photographs.
The film starts with his musings about being unable to attract women. It's followed by footage of him in front of Hotel Yugoslavia, which he states should be turned into a Marxist institute. He mostly expresses the sentiment that Yugoslavia has not yet reached the state of true socialism, reflecting on the exploitative nature of low-paying factory jobs, justifying his refusal to work in factories.
In the countryside, Ćebić, together with his father, recounts his early life during the 1941 invasion of Yugoslavia, when he joined the partisans at the age of 15 and left the village in 1946 in hopes of learning a craft and earning a living, the latter of which he hasn't achieved, subsequently blaming it on the Yugoslav State's betrayal of socialist ideals, which should be anti-capitalist. He calls himself a "a blind executive of Marxism, and that is [his] pride and glory, as a Yugoslav metal worker".
Being unemployed, Ćebić hitchhikes and sleeps around train stations, mentioning that he rarely had a place to sleep even during his employment. He does what he refers to as "Kolt 15 Gap", an acronym of "Gathering scraps and licking plates for 15 years actively and passively" (Serbo-Croatian: Kupi otpatke, liže tanjire, 15 godina aktivno i pasivno). He mentions his various attemots to find jobs during his five-year unemployment, all of which fail in some way. He argues for abolishing the National Assembly and reducing the republics to municipalities.
During the final third of the film, Ćebić walks around outside a factory and interviews other workers about their knowledge of Marx and Engels and their satisfaction with their jobs, pay and living conditions, before he and the camera operator are forced to leave. At the end, he laments on the paradox of skeptical employers sending him to psychiatrists for his beliefs of equality under Marxism, while psychiatrists keep on sending him back, stating that he is perfectly sane and capable of work that he, nonetheless, can't find.
Style and themes
The style of the film has been described as anarchistic and dynamic, with fast cuts and most of the footage coming from a hand-held camera. It is at times more reminiscent of a pseudo-documentary and it is often comical in tone due to some of Ćebić's more absurd musings about life and politics.
In a 2010 interview, Jovanović has stated that the documentary is about "the state of the working class, which has reached the rock bottom of existence." The film takes a critical approach to socialism and its ideals in Yugoslav society.

76507907 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%20of%20Ulh%C3%B3wek%20and%20Rzeczyca | Battle of Ulhówek and Rzeczyca | The battle of Ulhówek and Rzeczyca or the Ulhówek-Rzeczyca offensive were battles fought from the 1st to the 2nd of June 1944 in the outskirts in the villages of Ulhówek and Rzeczyca. The battles of Ulhówek and Rzeczyca was the largest battle between Polish and Ukrainian guerillas in the Lublin Voivodeship during World War II as part of the Polish–Ukrainian ethnic conflict.
Background
In 1943, Polish partisans fearing that the Ukrainian Insurgent Army's terror would spread into the Lublin Voivodeship started attacking local Ukrainian activists, however these were not mass crimes, but executions carried out on designated individuals. In response Ukrainian police units started pacification of Polish villages and Polish partisans started pacification of Ukrainian villages turning into a Vicious circle. The conflict in 1943 in the region lead to the execution of 456 Ukrainians, 286 of whom were, in Bozyk's words, 'nationally aware peasants'. The remaining group included Orthodox priests, Ukrainian national activists and officers of the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police.
In March of 1944 the Home Army and Peasant Battalions led by Zenon Jachymek and Stanisław Basaj started the largest anti-Ukrainian action of the Polish Underground State named the Hrubieszów revolution, the result of the event was the killing of approximately 2,000 Ukrainians.
In April of the same year the UPA started a major offensive against Polish partisnas however the first offensive on the 5th of April failed, and the offensive on the first day of Easter had an Inconclusive outcome. Due to the failed offensives only sporadic attacks took place until the 15h of May when the UPA organized an offensive in the area of Nabrozh, Telatyn and Zulice. Telatyn changed hands several times. Fearing encirclement, the Polish troops had to withdraw across the Huczwa River from Nabróża. On May 21st the UPA tried to attack Narol however the attack failed and UPA soldiers had to go back to their positions.
Polish forces
On 1 June 1944, Polish units began preparing for an attack on the approximately fifty-kilometre-long Tyszowce - Łaszczów - Jarczów section. Its aim was to pre-empt the actions of the UPA units. The main strike was to be directed at Ulhówek and Rzeczyca, which were key points in the UPA's positions. Nine groupings were formed:
1st Group under the command of Marian Pilarski "Grom" - 550 soldiers
2nd Group under the command of Andrzej Dżygała "Korczak", composed of 6 units with 600 soldiers counting 40 Uhlans led by Franciszek Korczyński. It's task was to take positions for an attack in the Rachaj forest near Posadow, then to capture Rokitno from the north towards Ulhówek.
3rd Group under the command of Tadeusz Niedziałkowski "Tomasz", composed of 5 units and 450 soldiers. It's task was to capture the villages of Podlodów and Żerniki, then launch an attack from the northwest on Ulhówek, and cooperate with the 4th Group.
4th Group under the command of Franciszek Bednarski "Reneta", composed of 5 units and 450 soldiers. It's task was after capturing the village of Rzeczyca, to continue the attack on Ulhówek from the west.
5th Group under the command of Józef Kozak "Waręż", composed of 1 company, 150 soldiers. It's task was to advance the attack on the Dębina manor, capture the road, and occupy positions to support the fighting groups.
6th Group uder the command of Błażej Czop "Czapliński", with 250 soldiers it's task was to take up a starting position for an attack east of the village of Nedeżów towards Łubcze, Szlatyn, and Hubinek.
7th Group under the command of Bronisław Wojciechowski "Czarny", it's task was to operate east of the Łubcze colony towards Chodywańce.
8th Group under the command of Bronisław Bochenek "Głaz", it's task was to occupy the Rochaj Posadów-Steniatyn forest on the night of June 1-2 as a starting position for the attack on Ulhówek and Rokitno.
9th Group under the command of Franciszek Samulak "Młot".
In total, the Home Army forces mobilised for this action amounted to 3,000 men. The entire offensive was commanded by Captain Zenon Jachymek "Wiktor".
The offensive
On 1 June 1944, the individual groups took up a starting posture for an attack, the units of the 1st Group left the Tyszowiec Forest for the designated positions with the task of securing the Polish offensive near Ulhówek from the north. On the morning of 2 June the grouping started to develop for the attack from Dabrowa forest in order to drive out the UPA soldiers. Lieutenant "Ryszard"'s "Wiklina" company was to tie up the UPA garrison in Stara Wieś with a part of its forces, while "Grom" company was in reserve.Its platoon was to capture the strategically important road Mircze-Stara Wieś-Telatyn-Ulhówek, in order to prevent the enemy from receiving reinforcements from the Mircze region. The unit's attempt to capture Dąbrowa failed because the "Kozak" unit unexpectedly encountered a 12-man SS "Galizien" sub-unit training in the forest, which was completely destroyed. The attack by "Czarny" and "Kozak" on Dąbrowa collapsed under the hurricane fire of a strong Wehrmacht front unit that had previously occupied Dąbrowa. During the heavy fighting with the attacking enemy, "Kozak" and "Czarny" suffered heavy wounds. With the help of the "Czarny" and "Kozak" squads came the company of Lt. Konopy, "Czaruś". The battle, which lasted more than two hours, was inconclusive. The fighting at Dąbrowa was paid with the loss of 4 killed and 3 wounded.
The grouping of the II sergeant senior A. Dżygało, "Korczak", while marching to their starting positions in the Zulice forest, accidentally encountered in the area of Zulice an Ukrainian unit providing cover for the Ukrainian Insurgent Army's grouping in Telatin. As a result of the unexpected shelling of the "Korczak" unit, nurse Stefania Gajewska, "Rosa", was killed. The third company of the lieutenant, "Muryna" insuring the action of Korczak's troops, after a short battle, drove back the Ukrainian unit to Telatyn and moved to capture Posadów, Rzeplin and the surrounding forests. The 2nd Group was quickly recognised by the enemy, which had a detrimental effect on the course and conduct of the entire action; moreover, "Korczak" halted the march of his units to the starting positions and moved to the Żulice forest. The "Muryna" company occupied the village of Posadów and continued the fight with the Ukrainians for the hill near Rzeplin. At this time, the horse reconnaissance of the Korczyński cavalry group, in the strength of 96 Uhlans, attacked Rokitno, which, after some support from "Muryna"'s soldiers, was captured.
A part of the "Korczak" detachment, stationed idly in the forest, moved at about 9.30 a.m. to support the remaining forces of the 2nd Platoon. From 11 p.m. the "Reneta" assault group of Lieutenant Fr. Bednarski was engaged in the battle. The 3rd group of rtm. Tadeusz Niedziałkowski, "Tomasz", with whom the commander of the group, Cpt. "Wiktor", was located, captured Podlody and took Żerniki. However, the sounds of the battle could not be heard from the Steniatyn Forest.
At this time, Lt. "Reneta" renewed the attack with his 4th grouping from the west on Rzeczyca. The Ukrainian command directed more and more troops to Rzeczyca to reinforce the defence. The attack of Lieutenant "Reneta" collapsed under heavy Ukrainian fire. To the relief of the retreating Reneta's units came Capt. T. Niedziałkowski, "Tomasz", who, aware of the situation on the battlefield, left Bela's company and with part of his forces struck in the direction of "Ulhówka. A joint strike by Lt. Cpl. "Reneta" and Cpl. T. "Tomasz" on Rzeczyca failed and Sgt. Korczak" continued to stand idle in the Zulica forest instead of striking Ulhówek from the west.
The "Waręż" unit, under the command of Józef Kozak, captured the Dębina manor, but unsuccessfully tried to launch an attack from the direction of the meadows on Rzeczyca in order to help the "Reneta" grouping entangled in the battle. Lieutenant "Czaplinski"'s 4th grouping, without encountering any resistance in the villages of Lubcze, Szlatyn and Hubinek, moved towards Rzeczyca to support the embattled units. Also, Group VII, 2nd Lt. B. Wojciechowski, "Czarny" continued the attack on Dyniska, driving the UPA out of it, and then, in another offensive, captured Dębina.
The success of the Poles in the ongoing battle of Ulhówek and Rzeczyca could not escape the attention of the Germans, who deployed military aviation in the area of the battle, firing from their guns at Polish positions along the entire line of battle. The Germans bombed: field hospitals in the Bukowiec forest, Pawlowka, Kolonia Muratyn and Paszkiewicz's manor.
Due to the German intervention and the numerical superiority of the Ukrainian forces, at 16:00 Zenon Jachymek ordered a retreat of Polish forces by the Huczwa river.
Aftermath
In total, during the offensive on the Polish side, 71 soldiers were killed and 100 were wounded. Ukrainian losses are unknown but are most likely to be heavy. During the offensive, Ukrainian civilians were killed in Ratyczów (26 killed, including 6 women and 9 children), Żerniki (32 killed, including 17 women and 1 child) and the Steniatyn colony (35 killed, including 14 women and 7 children). Though Polish forces retreated to their defensive positions the UPA was only able to counterattack on the 14th of June, the attack on Łaszczów by the UPA failed, and the attack was one of the final battles of the Polish–Ukrainian ethnic conflict in the region. The fighting in the region came to an end due to the Soviet intervention. Despite the failure of the offensive, the battle prevented the UPA from making any deep inroads into the Zamojszczyzna region.
Legacy
The battle near Ulhówek and Rzeczyca was the largest battle fought between Polish and Ukrainian partisans during World War II in the Zamość region. In the 50th anniversary of the battle a monument was built for the partisans of the Home Army and Peasant Battalions who took part in the battles from the 2nd to the 5th of April and the 2nd of June. the battle of Rzeczyca was added in 2017, along with 21 other places to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw.

Despite being considered a conservative province, the election in the central district of Kütahya resulted in a surprise victory for the secular centre-left Republican People's Party (CHP), which narrowly won against the incumbent nationalist Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).
The results were largely attributed to a split in the right wing vote, with the MHP taking 29.25%, the Justice and Development Party taking 27.70% and the Islamist conservative New Welfare Party (YRP) taking 8.07%. Had these parties entered the election in an alliance, their hypothetical joint candidate would have won over 65% of the vote.

76508019 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%20Trumka%20Jr. | Richard Trumka Jr. | Richard Louis "Rich" Trumka Jr. (born 1984 or 1985) is an American lawyer and government official. He is currently a member of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, serving since December 2021.
Early life, education and career
Trumka was born 1984 as the only child of prominent labor leader Richard Trumka and his wife, Barbara Vidovich Trumka. He received his undergraduate degree from Cornell University and his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
Early in his career, Trumka worked as an assistant attorney general in the consumer protection division of the Office of the Maryland Attorney General. In 2019, he became general counsel and staff director of the Economic and Consumer Policy Subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, where he led investigations into teenage use of e-cigarettes and the presence of toxic heavy metals in baby food.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
Trumka was nominated to a seven-year term on the CPSC by President Joe Biden in July 2021. His nomination was unanimously confirmed by the Senate in November of that year and he took office on December 2, 2021. On the commission, Trumka worked to pass child safety rule, including rules related to pull cords of window coverings and the prevention of swallowing magnets.
Gas stove controversy
In December 2022, Trumka triggered a political controversy over the use and regulation of gas stoves. During a virtual event, Trumka said that the CPSC would issue a request for information on hazards, particularly related to indoor air quality, of the appliances. "This public request for information is the first step in what could be a long journey toward regulating gas stoves," Trumka said, according to The Hill, adding that "We could get a regulation on the books before this time next year." According to The Hill, Trumka also said that an "outright ban" on new gas stoves was "a real possibility." In a January 2023 interview with Bloomberg, Trumka described gas stoves as "a hidden hazard," adding that "[a]ny option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned."
Many political people and institutions on the right and center—including Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia); Reps. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), Jim Jordan; and Gary Palmer (R-Alabama);; Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson; and the Heritage Foundation—as well as the American Gas Association took issue with Trumka's comments and the proposal that the CPSC take action up and and including a ban on gas stoves. On Twitter, Manchin described it as "a recipe for disaster. The federal government has no business telling American families how to cook their dinner. I can tell you the last thing that would ever leave my house is the gas stove that we cook on." Natural gas analyst Steve Everley published an analysis challenging the design of the study most commonly cited about the dangers of gas stoves.
To quell the controversy, CPSC Chairman Alexander Hoehn-Saric issued a statement that "I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so," and the White House issued a statement that President Biden "does not support banning gas stoves – and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is independent, is not banning gas stoves." Subsequent news reports indicated that the CPSC might pursue so-called compromises, including requiring hoods for all gas stoves, setting performance standards for hoods or requiring that gas stoves have sensors for certain pollutant concentrations. Later in 2023, the House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced legislation (H.R. 1615) that would bar the CPSC from using taxpayer funds for a gas stove ban; the bill cleared the committee with bipartisan support.
Personal life
Trumka is married and has two young children. In July 2022, he accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom that Biden conferred posthumously on his late father. His hobbies include woodworking.

76508053 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batik%20Air%20Flight%206723 | Batik Air Flight 6723 | On Thursday, January 25, 2024, a Batik Air Airbus A320-200, flying from Kendari-Wolter Monginsidi Airport, Indonesia to Jakarta-Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Indonesia was involved in an incident where the airplane was not controlled by any crew members for almost 30 minutes because both crew members were sleeping. The pilots license has been suspended.
Aircraft
The incident aircraft was a 7 year old Airbus A320-200, with registration PK-LUV, and MSN 7673. It has been owned and operated by Batik Air, a 11-year old Indonesian airline since it was first sold.
Crew
The captain was a 32 years old Indonesian who had an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) and qualified was as Airbus A320 pilot, with a total flying time of 6,304 hours 11 minutes.
The first officer was 28 years old, Indonesian who had a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and qualified as Airbus A320 pilot. The first officer had a total flight time of 1,664 hours 45 minutes. He had been off duty for the two days before the flight. He spent that time moving to a new house, as he and his wife had one month old twins. He went to sleep at 19:00 local time on 24 January, but his sleep was interrupted multiple times to care for his twins. At 00:00 25 January, the SIC awoke to begin his duty day.
Incident
During the flight preparation before the flight from the first flight from Jakarta, the first officer told the captain that he didn't have much rest. The aircraft took off from Jakarta and landed at Kendari without any problems other than getting delayed by about 30 minutes because of the weather. During this flight, the first officer got to have some rest during cruising.
Once everyone was off of the first flight and people finished boarding the second flight back to Jakarta Airport from Kendari Airport, the flight pushed back, taxied, and took off. The aircraft then ascended to their cruising altitude and now, the captain asked to get rest from the first officer and the permission was granted. Then, after about an hour, the first officer inadvertently fell asleep, and there was no one at the controls. 12 minutes later, Jakarta ACC asked Flight 6723 how long the aircraft needed to fly on the current heading, there was no response. Several attempts were made to try to contact Flight 6723 but there was no reply. The aircraft kept flying straight for 28 minutes and 210 nautical miles, well off of their flight plan, until the captain woke up and realized that they were not on the correct route. Then the captain saw the first officer sleeping and woke him up. The flight turned around and then successfully landed at Jakarta International Airport uneventfully.
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the crash, there was no damage to the plane or any injuries but both of the pilots involved in this incident were suspended from flying.
Investigation
The National Transport Safety Committee (NTSC) are investigating this incident and have released the Preliminary Report, it states all the facts gathered by the NTSC and gives recommendations. These are the recommendations given by the NTSC:
"Batik Air Indonesia Operation Manual Volume A (OM-A) described that pilots must develop a personal checklist, which includes the categories of pilot impairment – Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue and Emotion (IM SAFE) that can be easily committed to memory as a reminder before performing any flight duty.
The investigation did not find any detailed guidance nor procedure of the IM SAFE personal checklist, such as the assessment guidance for each impairment category. The absence of detailed guidance and procedure might have made pilots unable to assess their physical and mental condition properly.
Therefore, KNKT recommends Batik Air Indonesia to develop detailed guidance and procedure for ensuring that the IM SAFE personal checklist can be used to assess pilot physical and mental condition properly.
04.O-2024-02-02 Batik Air Indonesia Safety Emergency Procedures (SEP) describes procedures to perform cabin checks which also contain policy that cockpit should be checked every 30 minutes. However, the investigation did not find detailed procedures to conduct the cockpit check as mentioned in the SEP such as who is responsible and how to do it. The absence of detailed procedures might have made the cockpit check policy unable to be implemented properly.
Therefore, KNKT recommends Batik Air Indonesia to develop detailed procedures to conduct cockpit check for ensuring that the cockpit check can be implemented properly."
In response to the investigation results and recommendations from NTSC, Batik Air expressed its commitment to implementing all safety recommendations.

76508257 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel%20Croner | Daniel Croner | Daniel Croner (1656-1740) was a Transylvanian composer and organist of Saxon descent. He is best known for his four collections of organ music, his 'Tablaturae', that include some of the earliest surviving organ compositions from this region.
Early life
Daniel Croner was born in Kronstadt (now Braşov). to master tailor Daniel Croner and his wife Katharina at their home in Purzengasse. His musical talent was recognized early and encouraged.
Eduation
From 1671-1678 he attended Kronstadt's Honterus-Gymnasium during which time he began to make copies of music for his own use resulting in what he called his “Exercionale” (1675). He then moved to Weissenburg (now Alba Iulia) to perfect his knowledge of Hungarian and moved to Breslau (now Wrocław) in 1680 to study at the Maria Magdalena High School.
Later that year Croner moved to the university in Leipzig. It seems he was unprepared for the cost of his studies in Leipzig and he transferred to Wittenberg to study theology. Here he got to know the local cantor Johann Ulich (1634-1712). When Corner left Wittenberg in 1683 Ulrich dedicated a printed “Musical Ode” to him.
Adult life
In January 1684 Daniel Croner returned to Kronstadt and by the spring of 1685 he'd copied almost a hundred preludes and fugues into his “Exercitationale” of which around twenty are his own works.
In 1687 Croner married and in 1691 he was appointed 'preacher' at Kronstadt's St. John's Church. In 1693 he was appointed 'preacher' at the city parish church, known as the Schwarze Kirche" (Black Church).
In 1701, the community of nearby Heldsdorf (now Hălchiu) in Burzenland (now Țara Bârsei) elected him as their pastor. From 1704 he resumed adding to his manuscript music collection. In 1709 he oversaw the purchase of new organ for the Heldsdorf church. From 1735-1738 he was the Area Dean of the Burzenland churches. He died on April 25, 1740 in Heldsdorf and was buried in the church there.
Works
Croner's magnum opus is his 'Tablaturae', comprising four manuscript volumes of organ music - fugues, preludes, toccatas, fantasias and chorales - all written in tablature. They have been kept in the library of the Black Church.
1: dated Kronstadt, 1675 ('Exercitationale')
2: dated Breslau, 1671
3: dated Wittenberg, 1682
4: dated Kronstadt, 1685
In this collection Croner not only displays his grasp of traditional styles - not least by including alongside his own compositions the works of older contemporaries such as Johann Froberger, Johann Erasmus Kindermann, Johann Christian Kittel, Bernhard Meyer and Johann Ulich - but also his own lively innovatory spirit. In these volumes Croner marks the transition from an earlier polyphonic style to the new styles of the High Baroque. Of particular note was his organisation of works into complete cycles of keys (such as we find later in J.S. Bach’s Das wohltemperirte Klavier). Other notable characteristics include: - rhythmic variations of choral themes; - the increased use of keys rather than church modes; - and the frequent introduction of the pedal. Croner was a pioneer in the inclusion of instructions for fingering methods on keyboard instruments and the finger extension principle for the execution of preludes and capriccios.

76508497 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goolam%20Hossen | Goolam Hossen | Goolam Hossen, alias Piperdy (circa 1820 – 1875) was a notable Mauritian trader and entrepreneur, recognized for his pivotal involvement in facilitating the migration and commercial activities of South Gujarat Muslim merchants and traders from Surat to the British colony of Mauritius during the 19th century. His endeavors significantly influenced the development of commerce and industry within the burgeoning British territory of Mauritius.
Migration
The migration of South Gujarat Muslim merchants and traders from the hinterland of the bustling port city of Surat to Mauritius commenced in the 1830s. This initial wave was primarily motivated by the lucrative prospects in textiles and commodities trade. It wasn't until the 1850s that the migration and subsequent settlement of Gujarati Sunnee Vohras, colloquially referred to as 'marchands Arabes,' gained momentum. These enterprising individuals became a common sight in the Central Business District of eighteenth-century Port Louis, particularly along the streets of Corderie and Desforges, which would later be known as Surtee Bazaar.
Goolam Hossen was the second migrant to arrive in Mauritius from Surat. Establishing himself as a "Surtee" merchant, he played a pivotal role in the economic landscape and Indian community of Mauritius. His first son, Ajum, was born around 1850 in Pamplemousses, Mauritius, who continued Goolam's legacy.

Goolam Hossen's arrival in Mauritius during the 1850s, following Bahemia, coincided with the migration of other South Gujarat Muslim merchants and traders from Surat, marking the inception of significant commercial activities in the region. The family firm of Piperdy, part of the bigger Piperdy of Rander, registered in Mauritius as Goolam Hossen & Co., became known in the mid-late 19th century under his leadership.
Goolam Hossen's astute business acumen played a vital role in kickstarting the commerce and industry of Mauritius. Goolam Hossen & Co. expanded its operations to encompass a wide array of sectors including wholesale and retail trade, import and export, shipping, and real estate.<
The firm's reach extended beyond the shores of Mauritius, with trading centers established in strategic locations such as Burma, Singapore, and the Arabian peninsula. Goolam Hossen & Co. primarily dealt in commodities such as foodstuffs, textiles, and timber, reflecting the prevailing trade patterns of the era.
Like many Indian merchants of the time, the Piperdy family, owners of Goolam Hossen & Co., were heavily involved in the real estate business.
Legacy
Upon Goolam Hossen's death in 1875, the company was passed down to his son Ajum, who then renamed it Ajum Goolam Hossen & Co.

76508718 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah%20of%20Paris | Elijah of Paris | Rabbi Elijah of Paris (12th century. Also called Rabbi Eliyahu HaTzarfati and Rabbeinu HaTishbi ) was one of the early Ba'alei Tosafot in France. He lived in Paris and taught Torah there during the times of Rabbeinu Tam and Rashbam.
His contemporaries and students
Rabbi Eliyahu's father was Rabbi Yehuda, and his son was Rabbi Meir.
Ephraim Urbach wrote that in Paris, Rabbi Eliyahu was a colleague of Rabbi Yom Tov bar Yehudah of Paris, son of the Judah ben Nathan, and perhaps they both served together on the Paris Beth din. Towards the end of his life, Rabbeinu Haim Kohen, a student of Rabbeinu Tam, lived in Paris, and Rabbi Eliyahu would ask him about Rabbeinu Tam's opinions.
Among his students were Rabbi Moses of Pontoise and likely also the Isaac ben Abraham of Dampierre, who later became one of the great sages of the next generation.
Rabbi Eliyahu was renowned for his piety and kabbalistic knowledge. An anonymous treatise describes how he called up the spirit of a young man who died suddenly so his father could speak his final words to him.
Eliezer ben Nathan called Rabbi Eliyahu, "My companion, and my familiar friend," (Psalms 55:14). And Rabbi Meshullam of Milano wrote about him "The Temple courtyard is never locked for any man in Israel who was equal to him in humility or fear of sin," (based on Eduyot 5:6).
His rulings
Rabbi Eliyahu ruled that if he has no money, a husband must hire himself out to support his wife.
He would tie Tzitzit to his bedsheets.
A legend, cited in Seder HaDoroth describes an incident when Elijah was giving a lesson to a group of Tosafists, and they referred to the dispute between Rabbi Eliyahu and Rabbeinu Tam about whether the tefillin knot must be retied every day or not. They asked the deceased Rabbi Eliyahu to descend and give his ruling, but he was unable because he was offering sacrifices in Heaven. Instead, Moses came and said the law was in accordance with Rabbi Eliyahu's opinion, that tefillin must be tied anew each day.
His works
His interpretations and responses are brought in Tosafot to many tractates, as well as in Machzor Vitry, by Simhah ben Samuel of Vitry, Sefer HaItur by Isaac ben Abba Mari, Sefer Yereim by Eliezer ben Samuel, Sefer HaRokeach by Eleazar of Worms, Sefer HaManhig by Abraham ben Nathan, Sefer HaRa'avan by Eliezer ben Nathan, Sefer Ra'avyah by Eliezer ben Joel HaLevi, Responsa of Meir of Rothenburg, and in the Mordechai.
In addition to his halachic rulings and responses, Rabbi Eliyahu also composed Piyyutim. including two for Shavuot, "Ometz Yom HaBikkurim" and "Berov Am Azuzecha."
