Lefèvre-Utile Biscuit Co.

January 6th, 2009

The Lefèvre-Utile Biscuit Co. was a baker and cookie maker founded in Nantes, France in 1846 by Jean-Romain Lefèvre. Today it is known as LU and is a part of Kraft Foods.

The name LU comes from Lefèvre and his business partner and wife, Pauline Utile. Their initials were first utilized by Alfons Mucha for an 1897 calendar ad for the Lefèvre-Utile Biscuit Co. That same year the company hired Firmin Bouisset to create a poster ad. Bouisset, already famous for his work for the Menier Chocolate company, created Petit Écolier (”the Little Schoolboy”) which incorporated the LU initials. Bouisset’s poster was used extensively and the image was embossed on the company’s Petit Beurre line of biscuits. Within a few years, the success of the logo resulted in the company becoming known as LU.

The founders’ son, Louis Lefèvre-Utile took over the company and eventually it was acquired by Generale Biscuit S.A. which in turn was sold to Groupe Danone in 1986. Although an international brand today, LU products are primarily distributed in Western Europe and as of 2005 represented nearly half of the sales for Danone’s biscuits and cereal division.

In November 2007, LU was sold to Kraft Foods.

Robert Angelle

January 6th, 2009

Robert Joseph “Bob” Angelle (August 26, 1896 - December 22, 1979) was a businessman and politician from Breaux Bridge in St. Martin Parish, who was the Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1957-1960, the last term of Governor Earl Kemp Long. Angelle was part of the powerful Long faction of Louisiana politics. He is probably best remembered for sponsoring the bill which declared Breaux Bridge “the Crawfish Capital of the World”.

Angelle was born in Cecilia in St. Martin Parish to Drauzin Angelle and the former Agnes Guidry. He was educated in public schools in Cecilia and Breaux Bridge. He attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (then “Southwest Louisiana Institute”). On July 8, 1919, Angelle married the former Madge Germaine Begnaud (1899-1985). She was the daughter of P.L. Begnaud and the former Germaine Richard. They had four daughters.

Angelle was the commission agent for Standard Oil Company from 1921-1932. He operated Acadian Lumber Company from 1936-1973. He was the organizer and the first president of the Breaux Bridge Sugar Co-op. He was a license building contractor and operated dairy farms as well. He was the organizer and first president of the Breaux Bridge Bank and Trust Company.

He was a town council member and mayor of Breaux Bridge in the early 1920s. One of Angelle’s sons-in-law, Louis M. Kern (1922-2005), was elected mayor of Breaux Bridge in 1957. Angelle was also a member of the St. Martin Parish Democratic Executive Committee.

Angelle won his first legislative race in a special election in 1934 to fill the vacancy created by the death of Representative Gaston Thibodeaux. He served until 1964, another four years of service after his four years as Speaker. The last term was under the administration of Governor James Houston “Jimmie” Davis. Governor Long named Angelle to the Louisiana State Board of Liquidation in 1959.

After he left the legislature, Angelle became involved in a dispute with Mrs. Litie B. Bienvenu who was in line to be appointed director of public welfare for St. Martin Parish. Angelle went to Baton Rouge and told the commissioner of public welfare, Mary Evelyn Parker, the future Louisiana state treasurer, that Mrs. Bienvenu had a questionable reputation in the community and should not be appointed. The appointment was withdrawn, and she sued to obtain the position. Civil service ordered that she be given the job. She then filed a personal defamation suit against Angelle, alleging that his comments about her were made with malice.

He was a member of the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival Association from 1960 until his death. He was a charter member of the Breaux Bridge Lions Club. He was a member of St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge and the men’s organization the Knights of Columbus.

Robert and Madge Angelle are interred in St. Bernard’s cemetery. Angelle Hall, which houses the music department at UL-L, is named for Robert Angelle.

Pink TV (US)

January 6th, 2009

Pink TV, known as Heat TV in Europe, is a television company that exclusively features pornographic content. It is based in Miami, Florida and Prague, Czech Republic and was founded in 2005 by Jan Verleur, who now serves as its director. It is currently available as pay-per-view in several European markets and as a paysite on the internet. The company produces its own content, including several adult-themed series, pornographic movies, clips and “behind the scenes” shows. The paysite also features life video streams and chat interaction with nude women.

The company is associated with the Big Sister online brothel in Prague. One of Pink TV’s shows is shot in the brothel, and the two companies undertook a unique marketing campaign during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany in the summer of 2006: they visited Munich, Leipzig, Hamburg and Cologne with their “love truck”, a brothel on wheels with six prostitutes that offered customers free sex in exchange for publication rights of the recorded video.

Panzer Tank

January 6th, 2009


Panzer IV Ausf. A, a medium tank first built in 1937


Panzer Leopard 2, a modern main battle tank

A panzer, pronunced , is a German tank, especially in the context of World War II. Attributively, the term also refers to armoured military forces, as in panzer divisions or panzer battles.

Contents

  • 1 Etymology
  • 2 Panzers in World War II
  • 3 See also
  • 4 Notes

Etymology

Panzer is a loanword from the German Panzer, meaning ‘armour’, pronounced (De-Panzer-pronunciation.ogg listen ). It is also used in the compounds Panzerdivision, ‘armoured unit’ and dated PanzerKampfwagen, ‘tank’ or literally ‘armoured combat vehicle’ (the modern synonym is Kampfpanzer, or just Panzer).

German Panzer also refers to an animal’s protective shell or thick hide, as in Schildkrötenpanzer, ‘turtle shell’. Historically, the word referred to body armour, as in Plattenpanzer, ‘plate mail’, Kettenpanzer, ‘chain mail’, or gepanzert, ‘armoured’.

It derives through the French pancier, ‘breastplate’, from Latin pantex, ‘belly, paunch’, and possibly related to panus, ‘swelling’. The word has been calqued in many other languages, such as Swedish pansarvagn or Finnish panssarivaunu, ‘tracked armoured fighting vehicle’, Danish panservogn, ‘armored vehicle’, but kampvogn means ‘tank’.

Panzers in World War II

Although the post-World War I Treaty of Versailles greatly restricted its military development, Germany started to secretly develop armoured tactics in the 1920s, in cooperation with the Soviet Union (while assisting in the establishment of a Soviet tank-building industry). In the 1930s, the light Panzer I and Panzer II tanks were built primarily for training, and tested in battle during the Spanish Civil War.

At the beginning of the Second World War, German forces gained notoriety for the rapid and successful invasions of Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, and the Soviet Union, in 1939–41. Although the early-war Panzer II, III, and IV were clearly inferior to some of their French and Soviet counterparts, this blitzkrieg (‘lightning warfare’) was made possible by several factors: the German military experience in World War I, their excellent training, integrated communications, coordinated use of airpower, and, perhaps most famously, by the combined-arms employment of integrated infantry and armoured forces, the panzer divisions of the Germany Army and Waffen-SS.

As the blitzkrieg began to stall on the Eastern Front, and a mobile war pushed back and forth across North Africa, Germany was quickly forced into an arms race in armour and antitank weapons. Antiaircraft guns were used as antitank weapons, thousands of captured antitank guns were marshalled into German service, new inexpensive self-propelled antitank guns put into production, and Panzer IV tanks hastily up-armoured and up-gunned.

A new generation of big cats, the heavy Tiger, Panther, and King Tiger tanks were developed and rushed into the battlefield. During the war, the mass of a panzer increased from the 5.4 tonnes of a pre-war Panzer I light tank, to the whopping 68.5 tonnes of the Tiger II. In the meantime, the Soviets continued to produce the T-34 by the tens of thousands, and U.S. industry nearly matched them in the number of M4 Sherman tanks built and deployed in Europe after D-Day.

Throughout the war, the panzer was a key piece of the combined arms doctrines supporting the German blitzkrieg. The tanks were used in most every theater of German involvement. Their largest engagement occurred at The Battle of Prokhorovka, which saw about three hundred panzers pitted against five hundred Soviet tanks.

Allanite-(La)

January 6th, 2009


Allanite from California

Allanite is a sorosilicate group of minerals within the broader epidote group that contain a significant amount of rare earth elements. It has the general formula Ca(Ce,La,Y,Ca)Al2(Fe2+,Fe3+)(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH). The International Mineralogical Association lists three minerals in the allanite group, each recognized as a unique mineral: allanite-Ce, allanite-La and allanite-Y, depending on the dominant rare earth present.

Allanite, also called orthite, contains up to 20% rare earth elements and is a valuable source of them. Other elements can also substitute in the structure including thorium. The inclusion of thorium and other radioactive elements results in some interesting phenomena. Allanite often has a halo of radiation damage in the minerals immediately adjacent. Also highly radioactive grains of allanite often have their structure disrupted or are metamict.

Allanite is usually black in color, but can be brown to brown-violet. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and forms prismatic crystals usually disseminated in igneous rocks. It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 and a specific gravity of 3.3 - 4.2.

It was discovered in 1810 and named for the Scottish mineralogist, Thomas Allan (1777-1833). The type locality is Aluk Island, Greenland.
