text:
# Arvid Reuterdahl

**Arvid Reuterdahl** (February 15, 1876 – January 13, 1933) was a Swedish-American engineer, scientist and educator.

## Biography

Reuterdahl was born at Karlstad on February 15, 1876. He moved to the United States as a child in 1882. He graduated Sc.B. from Brown University in 1897 and was a mathematics and physics instructor at the Technical High School in Providence. Reuterdahl worked as an engineer in Spokane, Washington for five years and as an assistant city engineer, water commissioner and President of the board of public works. He designed bridges for the city. He was an consulting engineer of Boise, Idaho (1910–1913) and Kansas City, Missouri (1913–1918).

He was professor of theoretical and applied mechanics at Kansas City Polytechnic Institute (1915–1918) and was the first Dean of the Department of Engineering and Architecture at the College of St. Thomas (1918–1922). He was President of the Ramsey Institute of Technology, Saint Paul, Minnesota (1922-1926).

He was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He married Elinor Morrison on June 16, 1902. They had one son, Norman Morrison Reuterdahl.

## Opposition to the theory of relativity

Reuterdahl was a noted opponent of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. He considered Einstein's theory to be largely "bunk" and accused him of plagiarism. Reuterdahl argued that Einstein's theory of relativity was plagiarized from a mechanical gravitation theory of Scottish engineer Robert Stevenson (pseudonym Kinertia). He argued that Stevenson's papers were sent to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1903 and that Einstein, a member of the Academy secretly made use of the papers.

Reuterdahl communicated with other anti-relativists such as Ernst Gehrcke. He was science editor for Henry Ford's journal the *Dearborn Independent*.

title: Arvid Posse

# Arvid Posse

**Arvid Rutger Fredriksson Posse** (15 February 1820 – 24 April 1901) was a Swedish noble and statesman, serving as the Prime Minister of Sweden between 1880–1883.

## Family background and education

Posse was born at Rosendal Castle in Malmöhus County, as the son of Governor Count Fredrik Salomon Posse and Baroness Magdalena Charlotta Bennet. In 1835 he enrolled at Lund University, receiving a law degree in 1840. The same year, he began as a trainee at the Scania and Blekinge Court of Appeal, during which time he worked both at district courts and at the Court of Appeal itself. Later, he was appointed assistant district judge (*vice häradshövding*) and in 1846 a clerk at the Court of Appeal, and in 1847 was made an associate justice at the court. In 1849 Posse left public service and resettled at Charlottenlund Castle and devoted his time to agriculture, enterprise and local politics (being, e.g., 1865–68 the president of Malmöhus County Council).

## Political career

Posse began his political career as a member of the House of Nobility at the Parliament of 1856–58. He was then the Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency (*Bankoutskottet*). In the Parliament of 1862-63 he chaired the Committee of Ways and Means (*Bevillningsutskottet*), where he was a strong proponent of the principles of free trade, which he would remain throughout his life. During this Parliament, he seriously objected to proposed amendments to the Law on Local Self-Government concerning proposed restrictions on the vote shares of larger land-owners. He feared, among other things, that the amendments, if adopted, could undermine the proposed electoral reform. Posse himself, however, did not support the reform. On the contrary, he was one of the most ardent opponents of the reform and predicted at the Parliament of 1865–66, when he was Chairman of the Committee of Supply, that the fatherland would meet with an unhappy future if the reform were carried through. Among other things, he feared the new electoral system would put too much power into the hands of the agrarian interests, who would soon forget "the many things that have to live both above and beside them". Notwithstanding this statement, at the first session of the *Riksdag*'s Second Chamber in 1867, Posse became the self-appointed spokesman for the agrarian group, effectively making him the indisputed leader of the new Second Chamber. From this group was formed the Lantmanna Party, which, with Posse as leader, soon adopted an oppositional stance towards the Government. For a number of years Posse remained unquestionably the most prominent and powerful personality in Parliament, even if not the most charismatic.

During 1867–1881 Posse was a member of the Second Chamber, representing the district of Herrestad och Ljunit Hundreds, outside Ystad. In 1867-75 he was Chairman of the Committee of Supply (at the Extra Parliament of 1871 he was the Vice Chairman of the Select Committee (*Särskilda utskottet*)). As Speaker 1876–1880 he was in charge of the business of the Second Chamber. He entered government on 19 April 1880, being appointed Prime Minister, following the resignation of Baron Louis Gerhard De Geer. Additionally Posse was Minister of Finance from 7 December 1880 to 8 March 1881.

## Prime minister and administrative court president

As prime minister, Posse now had to solve the important issues that had been on the agenda since the reform of Parliament. The issues concerned the proposed abolition of both the allotment system and the land taxes (*grundskatter*) as part of a re-organization of the military. The odds seemed to be in favor of success, since it was believed that he could count on support from old party friends, and among the opponents of the preceding governments. Large committees were appointed to report on the issues. At the Parliament of 1883 the Posse Government tabled their proposals. They promised a step-by-step removal of the land taxes, and the tenement and allotment duties. In return the Posse wanted Parliament to approve the Government's proposals to establish a military based partly on permanently drafted soldiers (enrolled voluntarily and paid by the state) and partly on conscription. However, the Upper House's insistence on retaining the allotment system, and, perhaps more importantly, the Lantmanna Party's cutbacks, led to a series of dramas and a defeat for Posse, following which he resigned as Prime Minister on 13 June 1883. He was then appointed President of the Administrative Court of Appeal, which he remained until 1889.

## Political and scientific work

As member of the First Chamber for South Kalmar County 1882–1890, Posse kept a low profile, but opposed the introduction of grain tariffs during the 1887 struggle between free traders and protectionists. He also expressed his sympathies for a moderate suffrage reform. When speaking in Parliament, Posse expressed himself succinctly and clearly, often emphatically but always with calm and dignity. He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry (1879) and an honorary member of the Royal Physiographic Society in Lund (1878) and the Royal Swedish Society of Naval Sciences (1880). He died on 24 April 1901 in Stockholm.

## Relative

In 1912, his niece, Sigrid Lindström (née Posse) (1856–1946), survived the sinking of RMS *Titanic* as a first-class passenger.

title: Electoral reform in Maryland

abstract: Electoral reform in Maryland refers to efforts, proposals and plans to change the election and voting laws in Maryland. In 2007, Maryland became the first U.S. state to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Bills have also been introduced to implement instant runoff voting (IRV) statewide, but they have failed, largely due to legislators' concerns about complicating the election process and causing technical problems similar to those encountered by Florida during the 2000 U.S. Presidential election. However, Takoma Park, Maryland adopted IRV in 2006 after it won 84% approval in an advisory ballot measure on November 8, 2005. Maryland is the home of the electoral reform organization Fairvote. In 2007, Maryland's Board of Elections Administrator, Linda Lamone, was quoted in Diebold advertising literature.

## Ballot access

Party certifications are done for each gubernatorial cycle (e.g. 2006–2010). If the number of registered voters to a political party is less than 1%, then 10,000 petition signatures must be gathered for that party to be considered certified. A party must be certified before voters can register under that party. A party can also be certified for a two-year term if their candidate receives more than 1% of the vote. Reformers would like to see the ballot access laws loosened.

## Participation

According to an unofficial count, 92 athletes from 22 countries participated in the event.


title: 1916 Virgin Islands hurricane

abstract: The 1916 Virgin Islands hurricane was a strong tropical cyclone that inflicted extensive damage across the Virgin Islands in October 1916. It was the region's most destructive storm since at least the 1867 San Narciso hurricane; Consul General Christopher Payne and archaeologist Theodoor de Booy considered the 1916 storm as the archipelago's most damaging. Its peak intensity was equivalent to a Category 3 on the modern Saffir–Simpson scale.

# 1916 Virgin Islands hurricane

The **1916 Virgin Islands hurricane** was a strong tropical cyclone that inflicted extensive damage across the Virgin Islands in October 1916. It was the region's most destructive storm since at least the 1867 San Narciso hurricane; Consul General Christopher Payne and archaeologist Theodoor de Booy considered the 1916 storm as the archipelago's most damaging. Its peak intensity was equivalent to a Category 3 on the modern Saffir–Simpson scale. The storm began as a tropical depression southeast of Barbados on October 6, though little is known about the storm's origins or its developing stages; by the time its center was first located, the cyclone was already a hurricane and causing damage in the Virgin Islands. After forming, the storm moved northwest into the eastern Caribbean Sea and strengthened quickly. Rough seas were produced in the Windward Islands at Dominica and Saint Kitts as the storm passed nearby between October 7–8, damaging coastal villages.

On the evening of October 9, the hurricane traversed the Virgin Islands with an intensity equivalent to a Category 2 on the modern Saffir–Simpson scale, passing directly over Saint Croix and producing gusts as high as 160 mph (260 km/h). Of the Danish West Indies, Saint Thomas fared worst, with virtually every building sustaining damage. The island harbor suffered greatly and numerous ships were grounded or sunk. Entire towns in Saint Croix and Tortola were destroyed. There were four deaths in Saint Thomas, five in the remainder of the Danish West Indies, and thirty-two in Tortola. After battering the Lesser Antilles, the hurricane continued harmlessly out to sea on a northward and later northeastward trajectory. While well southeast of Bermuda, the storm's intensity peaked on October 12 with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (190 km/h). Steady weakening ensued thereafter, and the storm transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on October 14 before being absorbed by another cyclone east of Newfoundland a day later. Amid the storm's aftermath, coal carriers successfully went on strike for increased wages. Crop production in 1917 was significantly curtailed by the widespread damage wrought to agriculture by the hurricane.

## Meteorological history

The 1916 Virgin Islands hurricane was the thirteenth known tropical cyclone of the 1916 Atlantic hurricane season. Owing to a paucity of weather observations in the region, the precise location of the storm was not known contemporaneously until it was already traversing the Virgin Islands as a fully-fledged hurricane. According to a reanalysis of the hurricane in 2008, conducted by the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, the storm began just southeast of Barbados as a tropical depression on October 6. Over the next three days, it traveled on a northwestward course into the Caribbean Sea. Winds in the southern Lesser Antilles remained low as the system passed between Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent on October 7. However, the emergence of low air pressures in Dominica prompted the United States Weather Bureau to begin monitoring the disturbance, requesting additional weather observations to better diagnose the developing tropical cyclone. The tropical storm strengthened into a hurricane on October 9.

Curving towards the north, the storm intensified quickly and made landfall on the Danish West Indies at Saint Croix on the evening of October 9. According to a Weather Bureau report published in the *Monthly Weather Review*, "The storm was of small area and of great intensity." An air pressure of 963 mbar (hPa; 28.44 inHg) was registered on the island, lower than any other reading in the island's history; based on this reading, the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project estimated that the hurricane possessed maximum sustained winds of at least 110 mph (180 km/h) during its passage through the Virgin Islands, equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane on the modern Saffir–Simpson scale. The project also noted that the storm may have been a major hurricane at landfall. Gusts may have been as high as 140–160 mph (230–260 km/h). After crossing the islands, the hurricane continued north, its winds increasing further to a peak of 120 mph (190 km/h) southeast of Bermuda on October 12. A ship caught in the hurricane that day reported winds of 105 mph (169 km/h). The storm curved towards the northeast and weakened following this peak intensity, transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on October 14; the system continued its trajectory into the northern Atlantic before it was absorbed by another extratropical cyclone east of Newfoundland on October 15.

## Impact

### Windward Islands and Puerto Rico

Inclement weather prevailed over the Windward Islands between October 7–8, yielding the storm's only discernible effects during its unclear origins. The developing system generated rough seas off Dominica; damaging waves in Roseau advanced well-inland. Jetties and shore roads were washed away by the surf. Parts of coastal villages and small craft were lost to the heavy seas. Buildings that had stood for 60–70 years were destroyed. Rural parts of the island experienced significant damage. Similar seas were reported on the evening of October 8 at Basseterre in Saint Kitts, where waves overtopped the island's seawall. Strong winds swept over eastern Puerto Rico on October 9 as the hurricane passed to the east. At San Juan, peak winds were just under gale-force, while winds faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) were measured farther east. At Naguabo, the winds held at or above gale-force for 14 hours, with a peak velocity of 70–75 mph (113–121 km/h). Buildings on a mostly abandoned U.S. naval station on Culebra were destroyed by the storm.

### Virgin Islands

The hurricane greatly affected the entire Virgin Islands archipelago between the evening of October 9 through the morning of October 10. The islands' resources were already strained due to World War I, exacerbating the hurricane's impacts and thwarting measures implemented by the colonial authorities to bolster the economy of the Danish West Indies. One account called it the most destructive storm since the 1867 San Narciso hurricane. The American consulate in the Danish West Indies sent a cablegram to the U.S. State Department remarking that the hurricane was "the most disastrous known". Accounts of the hurricane in *The Bulletin* and *Lightbourn's Mail Notes*, newsletters in Saint Thomas, made similar judgements, as did American archaeologist Theodoor de Booy. There was little warning in advance of the storm's approach: the U.S. Weather Bureau transmitted general notices of the hurricane's path to points in the West Indies on October 8 while hurricane signals were sounded on the Virgin Islands on the afternoon of October 9 hours before landfall, leaving little time for residents to batten down.

#### Saint Thomas

> With a mighty hand the storm king as with utmost fury struck an island-wide blow that has swept it from end to end, leaving it its path a trail of desolation and misery from which it will be slow, and in a sense impossible, to recover if outside help—prompt and ample—be not obtained.

Account of the storm in *The Bulletin*, October 11, 1916

Of the Danish West Indies, Saint Thomas experienced the most severe effects from the hurricane. Nearly every building on the island incurred damage, and several among them were destroyed. Many buildings that remained standing were nonetheless wrecked beyond repair. Slave cabins were separated from their foundations and smashed into flinders against other buildings or trees. The severity of impacts was largely uniform throughout the island, though Savanne and Frenchman's Hill were most seriously affected. Severe flooding occurred in Charlotte Amalie, Frenchtown, and Lindbergh Bay. The 6–10 ft (1.8–3.0 m) storm surge tore buildings away from their foundations and inundated large tracts of land. Extensive losses were wrought upon shipping. The harbor at Saint Thomas, normally shielded from most tropical disturbances, saw extensive impacts; the harbor was most susceptible to a hurricane approaching from the south, as was the case in the 1916 hurricane. Steamers were grounded upon the island by the force of the wind-driven waves. Beached ships included the ocean liners *Calabria* and *Wasgenwald* of the Hamburg America Line and the Danish dredge *St. Hilda*. *Calabria* and *Wasgenwald*, both German ships, were interned in the Danish West Indies since the start of World War I. *Calabria* was considered a total loss and *St. Hilda* was reduced to smaller fragments. Two other Danish ships were severely damaged and many smaller vessels capsized. The distress vessel *Blandford* was the only ship in the harbor not moved from her moorings. Two electric harbor cranes operated by the West Indian Company and built to withstand a 100-mph (160 km/h) wind were mangled and partially strewn in the sea. Recent additions to the Saint Thomas harbor also sustained heavy blows. A machine shop was swept away by the sea.

Electric wires were blown down and warehouses were unroofed across Saint Thomas. The iron sheet roofs of homes were pried off by the wind. Many trees were uprooted or debarked. In the market square, trees laid mangled with communication and electric wires, littering public thoroughfares alongside amalgamations of wind-torn gutters and rooftop tiling. At the supply station of the West India and Panama Telegraph Company, ancillary buildings and storehouses were destroyed. Nearby, a coconut plantation was rendered infertile due to damage sustained to the tops of trees. As more sturdier structures, places of worship fared comparably well but were nevertheless subject to the violence of the winds; rectories were seriously damaged and a chapel was destroyed. Some people sought shelter in parsonages. In addition to the winds and surge, the hurricane also produced heavy rainfall; at Charlotte Amalie, the storm's rainfall total in 24 hours was a 1-in-20 year event. Merchant stocks were tarnished by the rainfall. Four deaths—all drownings—were documented at Saint Thomas; these occurred at the harbor in addition to several injuries.

#### Other islands

On Saint Croix, destruction befell entire towns and many factories. The town of Christiansted reported extensive damage. The schooner *Vigilant* capsized in the Christiansted reef; the ship was raised after sinking in the 1876 San Felipe hurricane only to suffer the same fate in 1916. In Frederiksted, saltwater was found on the upper-stories of residences, marking the height of the storm's waves. The roof of one home destroyed a stable and a few rooms after being blown away. Ninety percent of fences and most trees were knocked down. Heavy damage was also wrought in rural areas of Saint Croix, where telecommunications were disrupted. At several settlements, homes were badly damaged; only 4 homes of 23–25 at an estate in Annaly were destroyed. Anegada, Tortola, and Saint John of the Virgin Islands were devastated by the hurricane. At Tortola the hurricane's winds were strongest on the evening of October 9, holding at around 100 mph (160 km/h) for an hour. A report sent to *The Sun*, a New York-based newspaper, enumerated thirty-two fatalities in Tortola and eight in Saint John. However, a later report indicated five deaths combined in Saint Croix and Saint John from injuries caused by falling walls or trees. More than 50 people were injured in Saint John. Nearly all houses on the Saint John and Tortola were destroyed. Most boats at Tortola were destroyed, and some were dispersed by the storm's wind and waves on inland hills. Significant damage was dealt to the island's crops. Two thousand people were displaced by the storm in Tortola. Across three settlements in Saint John, all houses except one were razed. Swaths of trees were denuded in some areas of the island. Although the force of the storm was stronger on Saint John than on Saint Thomas, the island's lower population led to a lesser monetary toll to infrastructure; however, total casualties were higher in Saint John due to a lack of communications, leaving the island's residents unaware of the storm's approach.

## Aftermath

Many residents across the Danish West Indies were rendered destitute, with two-thirds in need of food and clothing and a third needing shelter. Damage from the hurricane was initially estimated by the American consulate at $2 million. However, further surveys of the damage suggested a smaller toll. Christopher Payne, the American Consul General to the Danish West Indies, appealed for $50,000 in immediate relief. The government of the Danish West Indies provisioned $5,000 for relief on October 11. Some of the funds allowed the poor to build new homes, though other parts were loaned without interest. Crews were dispatched to repair effaced mountain roads. Further assistance was provided by the Danish Ministry of Finance. HMS *Valkyrien* embarked on a search-and-rescue operation following the storm, extracting survivors from the stricken barquentine *Thor*. The *Valkyrien'*s junior surgeon was sent to Saint John to render assistance due to a lack of any medical personnel on the island. Galvanized by the devastation wrought by the hurricane, coal carriers—workers who refueled coal-powered ships—in Saint Thomas went on a successful strike to demand increased wages, ultimately forming a union with 2,700 members and negotiating a doubling of their pay.

The loss of trees and foliage on Saint Croix caused by the storm led to decreased outputs of bananas, cocoa, mangoes, oranges, and pineapples; virtually every fruit tree was destroyed by the hurricane. In Saint John, oil extraction from the bay tree (*Pimenta acris*) in 1917 was a quarter of the annual average; many of the trees were stripped of their leaves. The lime industry was suspended by the severity of damage inflicted upon lime trees; the storm struck amid an effort to establish lime groves on abandoned estates. Difficult living conditions for older populations following the loss of homes and roofs led to increased mortality rates among those older than 40 years old in 1917; mortality rates recovered to longer-term averages by 1918. The extent of the damage to Saint Thomas's harbor may have increased support for the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States in the 1916 Danish West Indian Islands sale referendum.

title: Aspergillus aculeatus

abstract: Aspergillus aculeatus is a fungus species in the genus Aspergillus. It has been implicated as the causative agent in plant disease. A. aculeatus belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses. A. aculeatus belongs to the Nigri section. Aspergillus aculeatus is considered to be a ubiquitous species that could be usually isolated from rotting fruits and soil. Morphological characteristics such a color, size, shape and ornamentation of conidia are crucial for the classification of strains of black-spored Aspergillus species. Modern biochemical and molecular identification techniques are helpful in the identification of Aspergillus isolates, as black-spored Aspergillus species may have significant variations in their morphological and physiological characteristics. Aspergillus can rapidly degrade cell walls of plants they infect, and isolates of A. aculeatus have been used to produce a number of important industrial enzymes, including cellulases, hemicellulases and proteases. These by-products are broadly used in the food and feed industries. Due to its industrial value, the biochemical and catalytic properties of several hydrolases from A. aculeatus have been extensively studied. Also, structural studies using X-ray crystallography have been carried out on several polysaccharide degrading enzymes from Aspergillus aculeatus. The genome of A. aculeatus was sequenced and published in 2010. The genome assembly size was 36.01 Mbp.

title: Asenath

abstract: Asenath is a minor figure in the Book of Genesis. Asenath was a high-born, aristocratic Egyptian woman. She was the wife of Joseph and the mother of his sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. There are two Rabbinic approaches to Asenath. One holds that she was an Egyptian woman that converted to marry Joseph. This view has her accepting God before marriage and then raising her two sons in the tenets of Judaism. This presents her as a positive example of conversion to Judaism and places her among the devout women converts. The other approach argues she was not Egyptian by descent, but was from the family of Jacob. Traditions that trace her to the family of Jacob relate that she was born as the daughter of Dinah. Dinah was raped by Shechem and gave birth to Asenath, whom Jacob left on the wall of Egypt, where she was later found by Potiphar. She was then raised by Potiphar's wife and eventually married Joseph. However, in Bereshit Rabbah 80:11 she is not stated to be Dinah's daughter but rather Dinah's rape resulted in giving birth to Shaul the son of Simeon. Asenath's importance is related to the birth of her two sons, who later become forefathers of two of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

# Asenath

**Asenath** (/ˈæsɪnæθ/, Hebrew: אָסְנַת, Modern: **ʾŎsnát**, Tiberian: **ʾĀsnaṯ**; Koine Greek: Ἀσενέθ, *Asenéth*) is a minor figure in the Book of Genesis. Asenath was a high-born, aristocratic Egyptian woman. She was the wife of Joseph and the mother of his sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

## Name

Her name is believed to derive from the Ancient Egyptian *js.tj-(n)-n(j)t*, meaning "belonging/she belongs to Neith". Neith was an Egyptian goddess.

"Asenath" or "Osnat" is a commonly used female first name in present-day Israel.

## Portrayal

Asenath is mentioned in three verses of the Bible, all in the Book of Genesis. First appearing in Genesis 41:45, Asenath is said to have been given by the Pharaoh to Joseph as a wife. Here, she is referred to as the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On (Gk. Heliopolis). Genesis 41:50 says that before the years of famine, Joseph had two sons with Asenath. The firstborn was named Manasseh and the second Ephraim. Later, in Genesis 46:20, Joseph and Asenath are mentioned in the family of Jacob; the verse says that in Egypt, Joseph had two sons named Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On, bore to Joseph.

In the Book of Jubilees, generally considered to be apocryphal, Asenath is said to be given to Joseph to marry by the Pharaoh, a daughter of Potiphar, a high priest of Heliopolis, with no clarification as to whether or not this Potiphar is the same Potiphar whose wife falsely accused Joseph of attempting to rape her. While in the Midrash and Targum Pseudo-Jonathan, she is said to be the daughter of Dinah, Joseph's sister, and Shechem, born of an illicit union, described as either premarital sex or rape, depending on the narrative. A later-date apocryphal publication written in Greek, believed to be a Christian document, called *Joseph and Aseneth*, supposedly details their relationship and their 48-year long reign over Egypt; in it, Asenath weds Joseph, whose brothers Dan and Gad plot to kill him for the sake of Pharaoh's son, who wants Asenath to be his wife, only for their efforts to be thwarted by Joseph's younger brother Benjamin.
