Adolf Mahr (7 May 1887 - 27 May 1951) was the best-known Nazi in Ireland in the 1930s and one of the most controversial figures in twentieth-century Irish history.
"Diana" is a song written and made famous by Paul Anka in 1957, recorded in May 1957 at Don Costa studio in New York City.
 Reportedly inspired by a high school friend of Anka's named Diana Ayoub, in an interview with NPR's Terry Gross in 2005, Anka stated that it was inspired by a girl at his church whom he hardly knew.
 Session musicians on the record included Bucky Pizzarelli on Guitar, Irving Wexler on piano, Jerry Bruno on bass, and Panama Francis on drums.
 The song was recorded in May 1957 at RCA studios.
 Backup singers included Artie Ripp (who later in his career as a music industry executive was the first to sign and produce Billy Joel as a solo artist after Michael Lang, who had given Joel a monetary advance, passed Joel along to Ripp—while retaining rights to a cut of profits from Joel's output—to focus his attentions elsewhere instead.)
Paul Rivet (7 May 1876, Wasigny, Ardennes – 21 March 1958) was a French ethnologist; he founded the Musée de l'Homme in 1937.
 In his professional work, Rivet is known for his theory that South America was originally populated in part by migrants who sailed there from Australia and Melanesia.
 He got married with Mercedes Andrade Chiriboga, a woman born in Cuenca, Ecuador.
Lady Mary Wroth (18 October 1587 – 1651/3) was an English poet of the Renaissance.
 A member of a distinguished literary family, Lady Wroth was among the first female British writers to have achieved an enduring reputation.
 She is perhaps best known for having written "The Countess of Montgomery's Urania", the first extant prose romance by an English woman, and for "Pamphilia to Amphilanthus", the second known sonnet sequence by an English woman.
 Wroth's works also include "Love's Victory", a pastoral closet drama.

John Joseph "Jack" Devlin (6 January 1900 – 26 May 1957) was an Australian politician.
 Born at Violet Town, Victoria, he was educated at state schools before becoming a farmer.
 He served on Violet Town Shire Council from 1927 to 1957, and as President for some of that time.
 In 1946, he was elected to the Australian Senate as a Labor Senator for Victoria.
 He died in 1957; Charles Sandford was appointed to replace him.
Transitional bilingualism is the shift from being bilingual, knowing two different languages, to only speaking one leading language.
 This usually happens over a period of time and can be seen within a few generations.
 There are families with immigrant grandparents who speak primarily their native language and some of the new country's language.
 Their children then speak both languages, but the grandchildren only speak the dominant or preferred language of the new location.
 The United States provides many examples of this phenomenon.
 For example, a woman born and raised in Mexico moved to the United States and learned a bit of English and spoke a great deal of Spanish as well.
 Her daughter, born and reared in the U.S. was equally fluent in both Spanish and English (bilingual).
 The grandchild of the Mexican immigrant, who was born and has been reared in the U.S., speaks only English.
