76404989 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sig%20Unander | Sig Unander | Sigfrid Benson "Sig" Unander (August 3, 1913 – February 1, 1978) was an American politician who served two terms as Treasurer of the state of Oregon from 1952 to 1959. A Republican, Unander was the Republican nominee for United States Senate in 1962 and unsuccessfully sought his party's nomination for Governor of Oregon in 1958.
Early life
Unander was born in Portland, Oregon on August 3, 1913 to Sigfrid M. and Caroline Benson Unander, a daughter of Portland businessman and philathropist Simon Benson. He studied political science at Stanford University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts, and later an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Unander served in the United States Army during World War II, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel and earning two medals from the United States and four from other Allied Nations while serving in Europe, Africa, and the Southwest Pacific.
Political career
Prior to serving in World War II, Unander was executive assistant to Republican Oregon Governor Charles A. Sprague. Upon his return from the war, he remained active in Republican politics, serving as treasurer of the party's State Central Committee and vice chairman of the Oregon Republican Club. He was a member of the Young Republicans and a precinct committeeman.
In 1948, he sought the Republican nomination for the position of Oregon State Treasurer, but lost the primary election to State Senator Howard Belton by just 1,348 votes. In 1952, Unander again ran for the office, and this time secured his party's nominee and defeated Democrat Francis Lambert in the general election to become Oregon's 18th State Treasurer. In 1956, he defeated Wiley Smith to win re-election by a wide margin.
Unander's convincing re-election made him the early favorite for the Republican nomination in the upcoming 1958 Oregon gubernatorial election to face Democratic incumbent Robert D. Holmes, who had narrowly won a special election two years earlier. But with many Republicans concerned that Unander was too conservative to get elected, the more moderate Oregon Secretary of State Mark Hatfield entered the race, earning the nomination and eventually the governorship.
In 1959, Unander resigned as Treasurer to accept an appointment to the United States Federal Maritime Board where he served as vice chairman.
Unander returned to Oregon to run in the 1962 United States Senate election. He defeated Congressman Edwin Durno to become the Republican nominee, but lost in the general election to three-term Democratic Senator Wayne Morse.
Personal life
Unander and his wife Vivian had two children. He died in Portland on February 1, 1978 of a heart attack.

76405117 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biloela%20Industrial%20School%20for%20Girls | Biloela Industrial School for Girls | Biloela Industrial School for Girls (1871-1887) was a 19th-century defunct Australian girls' school, situated on Cockatoo Island, New South Wales. Although officially termed an industrial school, it was just as much a reformatory as was located at Coburg or Magill, with this difference, that those girls found in brothels and on the street were sent to Biloela, while criminal girls were committed to Shaftesbury Reformatory for Girls, while Coburg and Magill received both classes.
History
The girls arrived in 1871, having been transferred from Newcastle Industrial School for Girls. In 1887, the girls were transferred once again, this time to more suitable buildings at Parramatta, that being the Parramatta Girls Industrial School.
The inmates, who were from age ten upwards, were nominally divided into five classes. The first four classes were allowed all ordinary privileges (pudding, and permission to remain with the teacher until eight o'clock at night being the chief). In addition, the first, second, and third class girls received five shillings, one shilling, and sixpence per month, respectively. The fifth class girls had no privileges, and had to do the hardest work. This classification, however, was apparently only based on awards for good conduct. Classification for separation was not carried out, and the absence of this feature in an institution like Biloela was a very serious defect.
By 1888, the girls were generally well behaved, although not very long ago before then, they were unmanageable.
After twelve months residence, the girls were eligible for service. The matron selected the situations, but had to obtain the approval of the Minister of Public Instruction before a girl could be sent out. As a rule, the girls conducted themselves well after leaving the school, and on the whole, reflected credit on the training received.
The number of inmates (89 in 1888) was large. It may be due to this and the unsuitability of the premises, that the institution appeared prison-like in its management, and wanting in vitality, and this was the more marked when compared with the cheerful and home-like appearance of Shaftesbury and, to a less extent, of Coburg.
The staff numbered eight including a clerk.
Architecture and fittings
Biloela, although on an island, was enclosed by a high fence. On ringing the bell, the gate was opened by one of the girls, who was the gatekeeper, and had charge of the key. The buildings-which as a whole were very unsuitable for the purposes of a reformatory-were scattered. The workroom, schoolroom, laundry, and others being some distance from each other, and all were away from the dining-room and dormitories. These latter were previously used as a prison, and although they were very cold-looking stone-floored apartments, the general arrangement of them was good, the dormitories and kitchen forming three sides of a square, the dining-room (which was very large and well ventilated) standing alone in the centre of the fourth side.

76405127 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My%20Life%20as%20a%20Rat | My Life as a Rat | My Life as a Rat is a novel by American writer Joyce Carol Oates, published by Ecco Press, an imprint of HarperCollins, on June 4, 2019. It follows the life of Violet Rue Kerrigan, who is disowned from her family at the age of 12 after she reveals that her brothers were responsible for the murder of an African American teenager.
Synopsis
Beginning in 1991, My Life as a Rat follows the life of Violet Rue, the seventh and youngest child of the Irish Catholic Kerrigan family in the fictional upstate New York town of South Niagara. After a local African American teenager, Hadrien Johnson, is killed, Violet reveals that two of her older brothers, Jerome, Jr. and Lionel, were involved in his murder. Both brothers are sent to prison for manslaughter.
As a result, Violet is ostracized by her family and sent to live with her mother's sister, Aunt Irma, and her husband, Uncle Iver. There, Violet suffers sexual abuse at the hands of her math teacher, Mr. Sandman, and Uncle Iver. After graduating from high school, she begins working as a maid and enters a toxic relationship with her client, Orlando Metti. During this time she is also enrolled in college courses.
Violet's relationship with Orlando ends, and she runs away, enrolling as a student in a state university. There, she becomes reacquainted with Tyrell Jones, who had also been a student in Mr. Sandman's math class, and is now a graduate student. Violet and Tyrell begin a healthy relationship.
Violet's father dies and she returns to South Niagara, where she hopes to reunite with the surviving members of her family. Lionel, who has been released from prison, attempts to murder Violet, and Violet returns to her life with Tyrell.
Publication and background
An early version of My Life as a Rat was Oates' short story "Curly Red," originally published in Harper's Magazine in 2003. The story was later republished in the 2004 short story collection I Am No One You Know.
When asked about her decision to make the story a novel, Oates said, "I had long meditated upon the life of a girl who had impulsively blurted out the truth under duress, within a few seconds assuring her clannish family will reject her...Over the years I'd accumulated many notes and scenes, and I had always known how Violet's story would develop."
My Life as a Rat was first published in the United States by Ecco Press, an imprint of HarperCollins, on June 4, 2019.
Reception
Critical reviews of My Life as a Rat were mixed. A critic for Kirus Reviews wrote, "Oates explores the long echoes of violence born of sexism and racism in one young woman's like in this deft psychological thriller." Pamela Miller of the Star Tribune called the novel "a near-masterpiece" and "a gripping coming-of-age story, at turns horrifying, heartbreaking, poignant and buoying."
Julie Scheeres of The New York Times criticized the novel's plot, writing, "After a while, Violet's trajectory seemed predictable, her torturous penance too prolonged. I kept hoping for a Lisbeth Salander moment, when she'd start punching the world back."

76405219 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monique%20Saint-H%C3%A9lier | Monique Saint-Hélier | Monique Saint-Hélier was the pseudonym of Berthe Eimann-Briod (born 2 September, 1895 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland - 9 March, 1955 in Pacy-sur-Eure, France), a Swiss writer. From 1917, she was married to the Swiss translator and teacher Blaise Briod (1896-1981), both converted to Catholicism together.
Life
Saint-Hélier was born in 1895 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, one of the most famous cities for Swiss watch production. She lost her mother at the age of three. She had to undergo her first operation at the age of eleven. In 1917 she married Blaise Briod, both studied literature in Bern Bern]] and converted to Catholicism on their wedding day. After her conversion, Saint-Hélier changed her first name to Monique in 1918. (Her stage name Saint-Hélier refers to St Helier, whose memorial day fell on her mother's birthday). In 1923 she met Rainer Maria Rilke, with whom she became close friends and who encouraged her to write. She dedicated her first published text ("A Rilke pour Noël", 1927) to him. At the end of 1925, Saint-Hélier and Briod left Switzerland and went to Paris. In France, Saint-Hélier's health deteriorated and she was confined to her bed most of the time. In 1940, she fled from the invasion of the German troops, but soon had to return to Paris, where she remained in her sickbed until the end of the war. She wrote about this time in her diary from 1940-1948. She died on 9 March 1955, 14 days after the publication of her last book.
Work
For the Swiss literary scholar Charles Linsmayer, Saint-Hélier is "one of the most important Swiss authors of the 20th century". The French literary critic Isabelle Rüf describes her style as a break with the traditional French novel and points out similarities to Virginia Woolf. The literary scholar Doris Jakubec sees parallels to Marcel Proust's polyphonic narrative style.
Saint-Hélier's main work is an unfinished cycle of novels about the decline of the Alérac, Balagny and Graew families in the Swiss town of La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Life
Lenka Chytilová first attended the J. K. Tyla Grammar School in her native town of Hradec Králové until 1970. She then studied Czech and German at Masaryk University (UJEP) in Brno. She graduated in 1975 with a thesis on the poet Paul Celan. She then worked as a poetry editor for the Kruh publishing house in Hradec Králové, which specialized in the East Bohemia region, i. h. She published non-fiction books related to the region as well as fiction by East Bohemian authors. She was dismissed in 1989 for political reasons, but was reinstated as editor-in-chief in 1990. She held this position for two years, after which she worked for the publishing house Ivo Železný in Prague. Her last position was as a teacher of Czech language and literature at Gymnázium J. K. Tyla in 2011.
In the late 1960s, Chytilová began publishing poems in the local newspaper Pochodeň, and in the following two decades she published in the magazines Mladý svět, Literární měsíčník and Mladá fronta, among others, and later mainly in Literární noviny.
In 1977, her first volume of poetry, Dopisy (literally translated as "letters"), was published by Kruh. These were love poems. This was followed by Třetí planeta ("The Third Planet"), Proč racek přemýšlí ("Why Does the Seagull Think"), where she took up the theme of childhood, and Průsvitný Sisyfos ("The Transparent Sisyphus"). In Nebe nadoraz (1995), she turned to religious themes. Chytilová writes modern, reflective poetry that strives for originality. She plays with the sound of words and their etymological relationship.
