  • TMB Foreign Newsletter October Issue 2018
    TMB Foreign Newsletter October Issue 2018 Theodor Fontane´s 200th Birthday In 2019, Brandenburg will celebrate, among other things, the 200th birthday of Theodor Fontane, known locally as the “regional” poet. He wrote works such as Effi Briest, the poem about Squire Ribbeck of Ribbeck in Havelland (https://www.vonribbeck.de/ribbeck-international/) and of course his travelogues “Wanderings through the March of Brandenburg”. Brandenburg State will celebrate his birthday (30.12.2019) with a series of exhibitions and events. For plant lovers, for example, there will be “Plants in Fontane´s Works and his Time”, an exhibition of selected plants in moving containers in the Temple Garden in Neuruppin. From 27 April to 29 October 2019, the main exhibition fontane.200/Author will be for those particularly interested in culture and history. It takes the visitor right into the centre of Theodor Fontane´s world of writing and text. Where does he get his ideas? How does he invent his characters? Why do some things keep appearing in his novels, why do others remain hidden? Guided tours of Neuruppin Museum, the Villa Quandt and the Fontane Archives in Potsdam will be available on request from 30 March to 30 December 2019. Here you will find the most extensive and authentic “traces” of Theodor Fontane´s life and work. Alongside thousands of manuscripts and historic prints, there are paintings, drawings and photographs, a large part of his handed-down reference library, as well as personal documents such his pharmacist´s certificates, his diaries and his account books. Enquiries (please send well in advance) to [email protected] www.reiseland-brandenburg.de/veranstaltungen-hoehepunkte/fontane-200/ EN https://fontane-200.de/en/ PL https://fontane-200.de/pl/ Bauhaus 100 The second reason to visit Brandenburg will be a celebration of architecture – the centenary of the founding of Bauhaus.

    For Immediate Release: Monday, September 29, 2003 Ranking America’s First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt Still #1 nd Abigail Adams Regains 2 Place Hillary moves from 2 nd to 5 th ; Jackie Kennedy from 7 th th to 4 Mary Todd Lincoln Up From Usual Last Place Loudonville, NY - After the scrutiny of three expert opinion surveys over twenty years, Eleanor Roosevelt is still ranked first among all other women who have served as America’s First Ladies, according to a recent expert opinion poll conducted by the Siena (College) Research Institute (SRI). In other news, Mary Todd Lincoln (36 th ) has been bumped up from last place by Jane Pierce (38 th ) and Florence Harding (37 th ). The Siena Research Institute survey, conducted at approximate ten year intervals, asks history professors at America’s colleges and universities to rank each woman who has been a First Lady, on a scale of 1-5, five being excellent, in ten separate categories: *Background *Integrity *Intelligence *Courage *Value to the *Leadership *Being her own *Public image country woman *Accomplishments *Value to the President “It’s a tracking study,” explains Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom, Siena College professor of statistics and co-director of the First Ladies study with Thomas Kelly, Siena professor-emeritus of American studies. “This is our third run, and we can chart change over time.” Siena Research Institute is well known for its Survey of American Presidents, begun in 1982 during the Reagan Administration and continued during the terms of presidents George H. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush (http://www.siena.edu/sri/results/02AugPresidentsSurvey.htm ).

    College Baseball Foundation P.O. Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.

What sort of Defence Virginia can make against our common Enemy? Whether it is so situated as to make an able Defence? Are not the Gentery Lords and the common people vassals, are they not like the uncivilized Natives Brittain represents us to be? I hope their Riffel Men who have shewen themselves very savage and even Blood thirsty; are not a specimen of the Generality of the people. I am willing to allow the Colony great merrit for having produced a Washington but they have been shamefully duped by a Dunmore. I have sometimes been ready to think that the passion for Liberty cannot be Eaquelly Strong in the Breasts of those who have been accustomed to deprive their fellow Creatures of theirs. Of this I am certain that it is not founded upon that generous and christian principal of doing to others as we would that others should do unto us. Do not you want to see Boston; I am fearfull of the small pox, or I should have been in before this time.
