George Zimbel

[edit]

George S. Zimbel (born 1926) is an American-born Canadian documentary photographer. He has worked professionally since the late 1940s, mainly as a freelancer. He was part of the Photo League and is its last surviving member.[19] Born in Massachusetts, he settled in Canada about 1971. His works have bees shown with increasing frequency since 2005, and examples of his work are part of several permanent collections including the Museum of Modern Art and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.[20] He has been described as a humanist.[21] He has published several books of his photographs and in 2015 he was the subject of a documentary retrospective film co-directed by his son Matt Zimbel and produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

Life and career

[edit]

Born George Sydney Zimbel in Woburn, Massachusetts, son a dry goods store owner, he attended Woburn High School and was the school's yearbook photographer. He later studied at the Photo League under John Ebstel.[19]

He then enrolled in Columbia University in New York where Zimbel became the school's news photographer. He met art student Gary Winogrand at the university and introduced Winogrand to photography. The used the school's darkroom late at night to avoid crowding in during other times of the day, and they called themselves the "Midnight to Dawn Club". Both Zimbel and Winogrand also both studied under Alexey Brodovitch at the at the New School for Social Research on scholarships in 1951. [22]

He next met Edward Steichen, the then curator of the Museum of Modern Art who showed Zimbel original prints by early masters of photography and this sealed his decision to take up photography as a career. On Steichen's advice, he had a stint as a photographer with the US Army and spent 2 years in Europe during the restoration period following world War II.[19]

On his return to America he became a freelance photographer. One of his early opportunities was the famous Marilyn Monroe shoot on Lexington Avenue to promote The Seven Year Itch, at which Monroe wore her famous white dress.[23] Zimbel never sold any of the images and packed them away until 1976, whereupon he printed them and began to show them in solo exhibitions.[24]

In 1971, Zimbel and his family moved to the small community of Argyle Shore, Queens County, Prince Edward Island where they raised animals for the next 10 years at a farm they called "Bona Fide Farm".[25] After their children moved away, he and his wife relocated to Montreal, where they still reside.

Recognition

[edit]

Though he was widely published in publications such as the New York Times, Look, Redbook and Architectural Digest in the 1950s and 60s, he did not become widely recognized until the when a retrospective exhibition of his work was mounted at the Institut Valencià d'Art Modern in Spain in 2000. Since then he has had several major shows around the world.[26]

Personal life

[edit]

He was married to Elaine Sernovitz in 1955.[27] A professional writer, she has collaborated with George Zimbel on travelogues and other works. George and Elaine Zimbel had four children including jazz musician Matt Zimbel, founder of Manteca. Matt Zimbel co-produced and directed a documentary film about his father called Zimbelism, released in 2016.[28]

Houdini

[edit]

He began his magic career in 1891 at the age of seventeen when he and his friend Jacob Hyman formed a mgic act called "The Brothers Houdini". They played around New York City with little success until Jacob left the act after about a year. Weiss eventually replaced Hyman with his brother Theodore "Dash" Weiss, and they worked together in dime museums and sideshows.[29]

Harry and Theodore, soon began experimenting with escape acts and one of their best was the mysterious trunk illusion, Metamorphosis, and for the next couple of years, they travelled the vaudeville circuit around America. In 1893, while performing at Coney Island they met a fellow performer, Wilhelmina Beatrice "Bess" Rahner. Bess was initially courted by Dash, but she and Houdini were married in 1894. Bess soon replaced Dash in the act, which then became known as "The Houdinis." For the rest of Houdini's performing career, Bess worked as his stage assistant. It was about this time that he introduced handcuff challenges as a means of publicizing his upcoming shows. When he arrived in a town, he would challenge the local police to test him with their most secure cuffs. The successful result usually helped with attendance. After playing in circus shows and burlesque for two seasons, in the summer of 1996, they joined a travelling show called the Marco Magic Company on a circuit through Maritime Canada. It was there, in Saint John, New Brunswick, that he first escaped from a straight jacket, while visiting the sanitarium there. In Halifax, he was handed a pair of early nineteenth century leg irons that defeated him, and it is said that he kept his "Nova Scotia leg irons" as a memento for the rest of his life.[30]

Harry even doubled as "The Wild Man" at a circus. Houdini focused initially on traditional card tricks. At one point, he billed himself as "Cardo: King of Cards."[31]

René-Arthur Fréchet

[edit]

René-Arthur Fréchet (1877- May 28, 1950) was a Canadian architect active in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, modern day Acadia.

Life

[edit]

Born in Montreal, Fréchet obtained adegree in architecture from Laval University in 1898 and the same year he obtained a job with the Intercolonial Railway as an architect. Two years later, in 1900, he moved to Moncton for the railway, and resided at the the Minto Hotel. In 1905, he opened his own architecture firm, developing a specialty in religious and domestic architecture.[32] However, he was not limited to these architectural fields. Notably, he designed the Capitol Theater in Moncton in the mid-1920s. [33]

Fréchet became involved in the Acadian community. In 1903, he married Elvina Cormier, daughter of a local merchant, Simon Cormier. He was a member of the provisional management team for the frenc language Acadian newspaper L'Évangéline, a founding member of the newspaper, a municipal councilor in Moncton, and a member of Société nationale l'Assomption.[32]

NS Economy

[edit]

Nova Scotia's has a service-based economy, with employment in such areas as government, education, and health contributing three out of four jobs in the province, with remaining jobs being in the goods sector. With a real GDP of $35.4 billion in 2011, the province accounted for just 2.1 percent of the Canadian economy.[37] While Nova Scotia remains known as a producer of traditional primary products (fish, timber, minerals and farm produce), in the past quarter century, most of those industries have suffered serious declines. The fishery in particular suffered a sharp decline due to overfishing in the 1990s, while mineral resources (notably coal) also declined at during the same period.[38] The forest industry suffered major declines in the past decade as the demand for paper declined. Mining, especially of gypsum and salt and to a lesser extent silica, peat and barite, has remained a significant sector[39] while offshore oil and gas has been a boon to the economy, though production and revenues have fluctuated.[40] Agriculture also remains important, particularly for dairy products and fruit crops.

Nova Scotia is a recognized exporter. in xxx it was the world’s largest exporter of lobster, gypsum, wild berries and black mink.[41] A successful wine industry has existed for three decades, though it remains small, with most consumption occurring within the province.

Other notable sectors include defence and aerospace, with 40 percent of of Canada’s military assets residing in Nova Scotia;[42] a film industry - in some years the province hosts over 100 productions, many for international audiences;[43] tourism, which employs thousands of people (often seasonally); and a rapidly developing Information & Communication Technology (ICT) sector which consists of over 500 companies and employs roughly 15,000 people.[44]

In 2006, the manufacturing sector brought in over $2.6 billion in chained GDP, the largest output of any industrial sector in Nova Scotia.[45] Michelin remains by far the largest single employer in this sector, operating three production plants in the province.

The average income of a Nova Scotia family is $47,100, the gross ranking close to the national average; for Halifax, the average family income is $58,262.[46]

Burt Dubrow

He was fascinated with puppets as a child and would later organize a campus tour by Buffalo Bob Smith in 1970 and 1971. He also produced a retrospective of The Howdy Doody Show for NBC in 1975.

At Grahm Junior College, he had his own campus television show and became a friend of Andy Kaufman. they would remain friends as Kaufman's career developed through the 1970s and '80s.

In the mid 1970s he worked for Warner Communications in Columbus, Ohio where he produced live television shows for Warner's QUBE interactive television experiment. Among the shows he was responsible for was Columbus Goes Bananaz, hosted by Michael Young, on which Andy Kaufman and his partner Bob Zmuda pulled off their infamous psychogenesis prank.

Waste Management in Canada

[edit]

Waste management in Canada is a local and provincial responsibility, there being no explicitly national waste management mandate. The federal government does, however, have influence on provincial and local waste management policies through regulations pursuant to national environmental laws. For example, the federal government has direct influence over the disposal of nuclear waste, the transport of hazardous waste (domestic and cross-border), and the release of toxic substances to the air, land, and water. As the senior level of government, it also regulates its own waste management activities on federal lands.[47]

Canada is one of the world's leading producers of municipal waste. In 2007 it ranked last place out of 17 industrialized countries in terms of waste generation.[48] In 2008, total production of waste amounted to 25,871,310 tonnes,[49].

-Waste as a resource: waste diversion- In Canada, waste is increasingly viewed as a "resource" by many collection agencies, and much effort is expended, mainly at the municipal level, to exploit waste products by such means as source separation, composting, and recovery through recycling and reuse. This effort tends to be reflected in the rate of diversion, which varies considerably by province, as indicated by the following table which illustrates the national and provincial populations, proportion of residential and non-residential waste, per capita production of waste, the amount of waste diverted, and the rate of diversion. Generally speaking, diversion rates have improved over the past decade.

Military Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR

[edit]

The Military Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR (since 1980 - Military Red Banner Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR) (1974-1994) - was a military educational institution within the Armed Forces of the USSR designed to train officers with a advanced legal education for military prosecutors and military tribunals, officers with advanced military philological education, and propagandists for the Ministry of Defense of the USSR, as well as retraining and advanced training for officers employed by the military justice and military personnel Evodchikov, conducting research in the field of military legal and philological sciences.

On August 1, 1974, the organization was formed, modelled on the Military Institute of Foreign Languages; on August 12 of the same year, the Military Law Department was transferred from the Military-Political Academy, named after V.I. Lenin, to the Military Institute. Colonel General Ivan Sergeyevich Katyshkin was appointed as the head.

By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of January 31, 1980, the Military Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for services to the training of highly qualified officers.

On February 11, 1980, on order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR, the Military Institute was renamed the Military Red Banner Institute.

Following a large-scale reduction of the Armed Forces after the collapse of the USSR, in 1994 the Institute ceased to exist, its faculties were transferred to the newly created Military Academy of Economics, Finance and Law.

Basis in language training

[edit]

In 1940, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR adopted a resolution on the organization at the 2nd Moscow State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages ​​(2nd Moscow State Pedagogical Institute) of the Military Department with the status of a military higher educational institution. It was entrusted with the task of training military teachers of English, German and French for schools and academies of the Red Army. In early 1941, the faculty received a new official name: Military Faculty of Western Languages ​​at the 1st and 2nd Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. On April 12, 1942, by order of the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR, the Military Faculty of Western Languages ​​at the 2nd Moscow State Pedagogical Institute was transformed into the Military Institute of Foreign Languages ​​of the Red Army (MIFLRA). According to the same order, the Institute included the Military Faculty of Oriental Languages ​​at the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies and military foreign language courses in the city of Orsk. In 1974, the Military Institute of Foreign Languages ​​was transformed into the Military Institute of the USSR Ministry of Defense.

The training of military specialists in philology (languages) was carried out at the faculties of Western and Eastern languages, special propaganda, correspondence courses and retraining courses for reserve translation officers.

At the faculties, educational and pedagogical work with students and cadets was conducted by the departments of English, French, Germanic, Romance, Middle Eastern, Far Eastern and Chinese. In addition, there were departments of Marxism-Leninism, the history of the Communist Party (CPSU), party and political work, military geography, military training, linguistics and literature, physical training and sports.

In accordance with the needs of Soviet troops, the organizational structure of units carrying out the training of military philological personnel was improved. In January 1974, a cadet faculty of foreign languages ​​was formed, staffed by women from among civilian youths, and in 1984, a special faculty for the training of military personnel of other countries within the Soviet sphere.

Adjustments were constantly made to the content and methodology of retraining personnel at various courses. In 1976, in addition to existing courses, one-year courses were created for translators with knowledge of Portuguese and, in 1978, one-year courses in Persian. In 1981 alone, more than 400 translators and special political propaganda workers from among reserve officers underwent retraining in the courses.

Care was taken to increase educational effectiveness. At the departments of Middle Eastern, Middle Eastern and Romance languages, a methodology for the accelerated preparation of translators was developed and put into practice, methodological materials were created to guide the independent work of students and cadets.

Teachers, students and cadets - philologists were involved in complex and intense work in the USSR and abroad. In the 1980s, many of them performed military duty in Afghanistan. From 1980 to 1987, 167 cadets, students and teachers were awarded high government awards for fulfilling their duty in Afghanistan. For courage in the performance of combat missions, more than 500 military personnel of the translation faculties were awarded domestic and foreign orders and medals. Many of those fell on the battlefield.

The last graduation of the faculty of foreign languages ​​occurred in 1993.

[edit]

In 1974, the military law faculty was released from the staff of the V.I. Lenin Military-Political Academy and entered into the newly created Military Institute of the USSR Ministry of Defense.

After the transfer of the faculty to the Institute, the contingent of students was mainly cadets. The military law faculty of the Military Institute included warrant officers, sergeants and foremen of military service and long service, graduates of the Suvorov military schools, and civilian youth. Taking into account the age and psychological characteristics of the cadet staff and the lack of sufficient military and life experience for many students, the curricula and programs, the content and methodology of all military legal disciplines were revised. The military law faculty included the following departments: theories and history of state and law, criminal law and process, military administration and administrative law, and criminology.

Teachers began to pay attention to the organization of self-training of cadets, educational work in cadet units. Practitioners of the military justice bodies — military prosecutors and military tribunals — were involved in the training sessions. The methodology for conducting tribunal and investigative practice was improved, during which cadets were taught the skills to conduct investigative actions independently.

For the first time in the history of the Russian military law school, the military law faculty was entrusted with the task of training officers with a higher military legal education from among the ensigns and midshipmen, military servicemen of long-term and long-term service, as well as civilian youth. The term of study was four years. In 1978, the first graduation of military lawyers from among cadets took place. Before World War II, Red Army soldiers were recruited for the military law faculty, but this was short-lived. At the Military Institute, the contingent of students was very different from the students of past years. Most cadets lacked not only military, but also life experience, and they knew about the work of the investigator and prosecutor only from the movies. All this affected the training itself and, importantly, the level of training of graduates. However, teachers, educators sought to overcome these difficulties and prepare good military lawyers.

Military lawyers worked successfully both during the course of study, and during the passage of investigative and tribunal practice. In the investigative practice alone, in 1975 students independently investigated 428 criminal cases and 176 as part of investigative groups, they conducted 276 prosecutorial inspections, and 254 submissions were made to eliminate violations of the law.

In 1979, a dissertation council was established to defend doctoral and master's theses in the specialty “Military Law. Military issues of international law. ”

Graduates of the Military Institute in practice have shown themselves to be fairly well-trained military lawyers, ethically impeccable, with a heightened sense of justice and possessing civic courage. The main and main subjects for military lawyers were criminal law and criminal procedure. The dominant was not a conceptual approach based on analysis, mass patterns and forecast, but situational and casual. Insufficient taking out was given to teaching criminology.

Since 1977, courses have been launched at the Military Institute for training senior executives of military lawyers. In December, 40 officers of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan took up classes in a 6-month military law course, and in 1981, a special department was created, in which representatives of the armies of the Mongolian People's Republic and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan studied.

Growth

[edit]

Since 1978, the military law faculty was transferred to a five-year term of study, which required much time-consuming work by the scientists at the Department of Criminal Law and the process of developing new thematic plans, curricula, textbooks and teaching aids.

In August 1988, Lieutenant General Alexei Nikolayevich Tyurin was appointed head of the Military Institute, and Lieutenant General Gennady Mikhailovich Pershakov was appointed head of the political department.

As of 1989, the institute trained military legal personnel for military tribunals and the legal service of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR from student officers with higher education. Their term of study was 3 years. Thus, a new step was taken towards the revival of the military law school and an increase in the quality of training of specialists.

In addition, starting in the 1989/90 academic year, the military-law faculty organized training for students in the specialty of “judicial and legal advice”.

Considerable successes in the field of jurisprudence were achieved by cadets and students of the military law faculty. The team of the military law faculty won first place at the All-Union Olympiad in Law. For active participation in military scientific work, 5 officers and cadets were singled out by the USSR Minister of Defense.

Thus, the Red Banner Military Institute was a large higher military educational institution that enjoyed well-deserved authority both in the Armed Forces and among other higher educational institutions of the USSR. The achievements of the faculty of the Department of Criminal Law and Process in the development of complex scientific problems in the field of criminal law disciplines of science were known outside the USSR. However, both in the USSR and in the Armed Forces there were fundamental changes that affected the institute. The Military Institute of the Red Banner carried out its last graduation in 1992. In 1993, it ceased to exist, and its personnel were transferred to another military educational institution: - the Military Academy of Economics, Finance and Law, later the Military University.

In the 1970s and 80s, scholars of legal departments developed a number of scientific problems of criminal law, criminal process, criminology, and international law. During this period, prominent legal scholars, doctors of legal sciences, professors included N. I. Kuznetsov, V. G. Strekozov, A. A. Ter-Akopov, Kh. M. Akhmetshin, F. S. Brazhnik, V. Prokopovich, V.P. Shuplenkov and others.
