Gerta Keller (born 1945) is a paleontologist who contests the Chicxulub crater as the location of the meteorite impact, postulated as the cause of the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event 65 million years ago by the Alvarez hypothesis. Keller is currently a professor of Geosciences at Princeton University.

Biography
Early life and education
Keller was raised in Switzerland on a dairy farm, the sixth of 12 children. She grew up in poverty; the unheated room in which she shared a bed with her sister who grew icicles inside the room during the winter. In the one-room schoolhouse where she was educated, boys were given training in math and science while girls were taught cooking and cleaning, the skills they would need to be proper housewives. Her hunger for knowledge led her to read the textbooks assigned to her elder siblings, and she would prepare summaries of the material for her brothers and sisters.
She attended a vocational school starting at age 14 and learned sewing. There she organized a protest against rules that required female students to wear skirts, as she rode her bicycle three miles each way to school and wanted to be able to protect herself from the cold. The female students won the right to wear pants from then on.
After receiving her vocational certificate at age 17, she went to work for Pierre Cardin, where she was paid the equivalent of 25 cents per hour to sew luxury gowns that would sell for as much as $1,000 for which she was paid $12. She traveled around the world, learning English and working in England, followed by travel to North Africa, Spain and Australia. She survived being shot in a bank robbery in Australia in 1965, despite awakening in a hospital intensive care unit to find a priest asking her to confess, telling her that she was going to die.
After ending up in San Francisco in 1968, Keller was “freaked out” by the shots and tear gas launched at student protests; she chose to focus on education and took a high school equivalency exam. She received her undergraduate degree at San Francisco State University and received a doctorate in geology and paleontology from Stanford University in 1978.
Paleontology
After earning her doctorate, Keller worked for the United States Geological Survey and Stanford. She came to Princeton University in 1984 and after a few years started studying the K–T boundary, the geological signature of the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. Keller’s research has led her to conclude that the Chicxulub impact played a major role in the demise of the dinosaurs, but that the mass extinction did not occur until 300,000 years later as the result of a second meteor impact whose impact site is unknown but may lie at the bottom of what is now the Indian Ocean. Keller’s analysis of the sedimentary evidence led her to conclude that the K-T boundary layer had been lain down over a 300,000-year period, stating that “I’m sure the day after, they had a headache,” but that “we vastly overestimate the damage to the environment and to life that this Chicxulub impact had” in killing off the dinosaurs.
The main evidence for the Alvarez hypothesis that a single impact resulted in the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event that killed the dinosaurs has come from the presence around the world of shocked quartz granules, glass spherules and tektites embedded in a layer of clay with extremely high levels of iridium, all signs of an asteroid impact. Keller’s research found layers where the glass spherules and the iridium clay are found are separated by as much as 8 feet (2.4 m) of sandstone and other material. Supporters of the Alvarez theory believe that the sandstone is the result of a massive tsunami that sandwiched the sand from the massive waves triggered by the impact between the shocked quartz layer and the iridium clay. Keller’s analysis of the strata between the spherules and iridium clay contain signs that the material was laid down over as much as 300,000 years based on signs of plankton, worms and weathering found on the intervening material.

Jump to: navigation, search
Walter Leak Steele
Walter Leak Steele (18 April 1823 - 16 October 1891) was a U.S. Congressman from North Carolina between 1877 and 1881.
Born near Rockingham in Richmond County, North Carolina, Steele attended common schools near his home and then Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, Wake Forest College, and finally the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating in 1844.
Steele was elected to two-years terms in the North Carolina House of Commons in 1846, 1848, 1850, and 1854; he rose to the North Carolina Senate, serving there between 1852 and 1858, and in 1852, he was named as a trustee of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a post he held until his death.
A delegate to the 1860 Democratic National Conventions in Charleston and Baltimore, Steele chaired the 1861 state convention which passed the ordinance of secession at the beginning of the American Civil War. Steele studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1865 and practiced law in his hometown of Rockingham.
Steele was elected to the 45th and 46th U.S. Congress, serving from March 4, 1877 to March 3, 1881. He declined to run again in 1880 and returned to cotton manufacturing and banking.
Walter L. Steele died in Baltimore, Maryland in 1891 and is buried in Leak Cemetery near Rockingham, North Carolina.

Thomas Russell (July 6, 1863 — February 28, 1927) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper who played for Essex and Marylebone Cricket Club. He was born in Lewisham and died in Leyton.
Russell played his first two matches for Essex in miscellaneous fixtures against Leicestershire during the 1893 season, featuring in a game against a team of touring Australians just six weeks later, a match in which one-time Test cricketer and Wisden Cricketer of the Year Walter Mead picked up seventeen wickets, the most valuable haul ever made in a first-class cricket match by an Essex player.
Russell’s debut first-class match came in 1894, when Essex played in eight miscellaneous first-class fixtures against county-representative teams who, the following year, would convene to set up the brand new County Championship, running its first full season in 1895. Russell performed well, scoring two half-centuries, and making twenty-seven catchesand six stumpings as a wicket-keeper. His debut century would follow in a game against Surrey which the team would win by an innings margin.
The final match of Russell’s 1896 season saw him score a pair, though confidence was restored when Russell made two stumpings in the first game of 1897. Essex performed well throughout this season, finishing third in the County Championship with seven wins under their belt from a sixteen-match campaign. 1898 was Russell’s second-highest scoring season, despite him playing six more first-class matches than in his highest, two years previously. This season also saw him score his second of three first-class centuries, scoring his highest career score thus-far of 122 not out against Hampshire, a score which would only be improved upon once, in a game against Derbyshire, against whom he made an innings of 139 in 1900.
While the opening few years of the 20th century proved a goldmine for Russell, a consistent batsman amongst a number of inconsistent players, he would not reach the dizzy heights of his three century innings in the second half of his career that he did in the first, making a top score in his final five seasons of just 54 and moving, towards the end of his career, back to the tailend of the Essex batting line-up where he spent occasional matches in his early years at the club. Essex finished second-bottom of the County Championship table during the 1904 season.
Russell’s final season as an Essex player was a benefit season, in which he played one match, a heavy defeat at the hands of Surrey. Russell later joined a growing list of first-class cricketing umpires, taking charge of 150 matches between 1912 and 1925.
Russell’s extended family of cricket-playing relatives included brother Edward Russell, cousins Tich, Edward and John, great-nephew Douglas Freeman, son Jack Russell and uncle Edward.

T?sh?sai Sharaku(??????, active 1794 - 1795) is widely considered to be one of the great masters of the woodblock printing in Japan. Little is known of him, besides his ukiyo-e prints; neither his true name nor the dates of his birth or death are known with any certainty. His active career as a woodblock artist seems to have spanned just ten months in the mid-Edo period of Japanese history, from middle 1794 to early 1795.

Biography
One theory claims that Sharaku was not a person, but a project launched by a group of artists to help a woodblock print house that had aided them. In this theory, the name Sharaku is taken from sharakusai, “nonsense,” and is an inside joke by the artists, who knew that there was no actual Sharaku. The rapidly changing style that Sharaku utilized, with four distinct stylistic changes in his short career, lends credibility to this claim. It was also common for woodblock prints of this time to involve anywhere from five to ten or more artisans working together. However, it seems unlikely that none of them would reveal Sharaku’s true identity, or otherwise leave some information about Sharaku behind.
Another speculation associates Sharaku with the great ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai. This explanation stems from Hokusai’s disappearance from the art world between the years of 1792 and 1796, the period that Sharaku’s work began to appear. Beyond giving a reason for Hokusai’s absence from the Edo art scene during this time the theory has little evidence.
Regarding his abrupt disappearance, one conjecture is that his master was unhappy with his retainer’s association with the demimonde of the kabuki theatre, instead of the more refined Noh theatre which the master supported. There is no evidence supporting or refuting this.
A headman of Kanda area in Edo named Gesshin Sait? (?????, 1804-1878) wrote in his supplementary ukiyoe handbook that Sharaku was a Noh actor named Jur?bei Sait? (???????). However, as research progressed, the existence itself of Jur?bei Sait? had become doubtful. A Noh actor, usually of samurai rank, would have documents proving his origin, the name of Jur?bei Sait? was not identified in any directory.
Therefore, numerous hypothesis and opinions have come out for a while who Sharaku was, such as an anonymous prominent ukiyoe painter, or a publisher Juzabur? Tsutaya, or if “Sharaku” was the name of a ukiyoe project by a group of artists, etc.
However in recent years, the existence of a Jur?bei Sait? was recognized in documents that were discovered in Saitama prefecture, which lends more credence to the Jur?bei Sait? hypothesis.
Retrospective observations
The Kabuki actor Sawamura Sojuro III; 1794, fifth month
His career appears to have been so brief in part because the radical nature of his work aroused the hostility of the art world in Edo. One contemporary manuscript records:
It seems likely that his prints, with their tendency to wring the last drop of truth from his subjects through close depiction of personal characteristics, left customers with a sense of unease, and made his prints difficult to sell. Further, it seems plausible that he was unwilling to compromise his art, and his critics hounded him from the art world.
Indeed, his work did not become popular among collectors in Japan until rediscovered by German scholar Julius Kurth in 1910. He is now considered one of the greatest of all woodblock artists, and the first ‘modern’ artist of Japan, and the extraordinarily rare extant originals of his prints command fantastic sums at auctions.

The Criollos (singular: Criollo) were a social class in the caste system of the overseas colonies established by Spain in the 16th century, especially in Latin America, comprising the locally born people of pure or mostly Spanish ancestry.
The Criollo class ranked below that of the Peninsulares, the colonists born in Spain, but above the other castes — people of mixed descent, Amerindians, and enslaved Africans. According to the casta system, a criollo could legally have some Amerindian ancestry and not lose social place. In the 18th- and early 19th centuries, changes in Spanish policies towards the colonies led to tensions between the Criollos and the Peninsulares. Criollo nationalists were among the main supporters of the wars of independence.
The term Criollo is often translated into English as Creole. However, the word “creole” is also applied to many ethnic groups around the world who have no historic connection to Spain or to any colonial system. Indeed, many of those creole peoples were never a distinct social caste, and were never defined by purity of descent.

Origin of the term
The word criollo and its Portuguese cognatecrioulo are believed to come from the Spanish/Portuguese verb criar, meaning “to breed” or “to raise”. The term came into use in the settlements established by the Portuguese along the West African coast. Originally the term was meant to distinguish the members of any foreign ethnic group who were born and “raised” locally, from those born in the group’s homeland, as well as from persons of mixed ethnic ancestry. Thus, in the Portuguese colonies of Africa, português crioulo was a locally born person of Portuguese descent; in the Americas, negro criollo or negro crioulo was a locally born person of pure black (i.e. African) ancestry; and, in Spanish colonies, an español criollo was an ethnic Spaniard who had been born in the colonies, as opposed to an español peninsular born in Spain.
The English word “Creole” was a loan from French créole, which in turn is believed to come from Spanish criollo or Portuguese crioulo.
The Spanish colonial caste system
Main article: Casta
Most Spanish colonies started with a sizable population of indigenous Amerindians. Because the Spanish colonists were mostly men, they had liaisons with Amerindian women, and their children were mixed race. The population of mixed Spanish-Amerindian ancestry grew large enough to become a rather distinct group. In the 17th or 18th century, some Spanish colonies also imported large numbers of African slaves, who contributed to the racial mix of the population.
In theory, Criollo status could be attained by people of mixed origin who had one-eighth or less (the equivalent of a great grandparent) Amerindian ancestry. Such cases might include the offspring of a Castizo parent and one Peninsular or Criollo parent. This one-eight rule, also in theory, did not apply to African admixture. In reality, officials assigned various racial categories to mix-raced people depending on their social status, what they were told or due to testimony from friends and neighbors.
To preserve the Spanish Crown’s power in the colonies, the Spanish colonial society was based on an elaborate caste system, which related to a person’s degree of descent from Spaniards. The highest-ranking castes were the españoles, Spaniards by birth or descent. The Penisulares were the persons born in Spain, while the Criollo comprised locally born people of proven unmixed Spanish ancestry, that is, the Americas-born child of two Spanish-born Spaniards or mainland Spaniards (peninsulares), of two Criollos, or a Spaniard and a Criollo. People of mixed ancestry were classified in other castes — such as castizos, mestizos, cholos, mulatos, indios, zambos, and enslaved Africans, called blacks.
While the casta system was in force, the top ecclesiastical, military and administrative positions were reserved for crown-appointed Peninsulares, who also favoured the Cádiz monopoly. Most of the local land-owning elite and nobility belonged to the Criollo caste.
Philippine Context
Criollos and the wars of independence
Main article: Spanish American wars of independence
Until 1760, the Spanish colonies were ruled under laws designed by the Spanish Habsburgs, which granted the American provinces great autonomy. That situation changed by the Bourbon Reforms during the reign of Charles III. Spain needed to extract increasing wealth from its colonies to support the European and global wars it needed to maintain the Spanish Empire. The Crown expanded the privileges of the Penisulares, who took over many administrative offices which had been filled by Criollos. At the same time, reforms by the Catholic Church reduced the roles and privileges of the lower ranks of the clergy, who were mostly Criollos.
By the 19th century, this discriminatory policy of the Spanish Crown and the examples of the American and French revolutions, led the Criollos to rebel against the Peninsulares. With increasing support of the other castes, they engaged Spain in a fight for independence (1809–1826). The former Spanish Empire in the Americas separated into a number of independent republics.
Modern colloquial uses
The word criollo retains its original meaning in most Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas. In some countries, however, the word criollo has over time come to have additional meanings, such as “local” or “home grown”. For instance, comida criolla in Spanish-speaking countries refers to “local cuisine”, not “cuisine of the criollos”.
In some Latin American countries, the term is also used to describe people from particular regions, such as the countryside or mountain areas:
In Puerto Rico, natives of the town of Caguas are usually referred to as criollos; professional sports teams from that town are also usually nicknamed criollos de Caguas (”Caguas Creoles”). Caguas is located near Puerto Rico’s part of the Cordillera Central mountain area.
In Argentina, locals of Argentina’s interior northern and northwestern provinces are called criollos by their porteño counterparts from Buenos Aires. They are typically seen as more traditionally Hispanic in culture and ancestry than the melting pot of non-Hispanic European influences that define the people and culture of Buenos Aires.
In Perú, criollo is associated with the syncretic culture of the Pacific Coast, a mixture of Spanish, African, indigenous, and Gitano elements. Its meaning is therefore more similar to that of “Louisiana Creole people” than to the criollo of colonial times.

James P. Fitch was a Scouting notable in the early history of the Boy Scouts of America. During the first decade of the B.S.A., Fitch, a school teacher by vocation, was hired by the B.S.A. to travel with the Chautauqua circuit, setting up Scout troops in the towns and cities he visited. In 1916, he was Camp Master at Owassipe Scout Camp near Chicago where he was the founder of “The Tribe of Owasippe.”
In the Fall of 1919, Fitch was appointed Region Scout Executive for Region Nine (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico), and he served in that capacity until 1945. During these years, Fitch actively recruited supporters of the Scouting program. In 1938, one of these supporters, Oklahoma oilman Waite Phillips, donated part of his huge Philmont Ranch near Cimarron, New Mexico. This became Philturn Rocky Mountain Scout Camp. Three years later, in December 1941, just days after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Phillips donated the rest of his ranch to Region Nine. In 1945, when Fitch retired as Region Nine Scout Executive, Phillips insisted that Fitch be appointed the General Manager of Philmont Scout Ranch and Phillips Properties for the B.S.A.
In the early 1930’s, Fitch visited the newly dedicated Worth Ranch Scout Camp near Palo Pinto, Texas, and made a handwritten copy of “The Worth Ranch Grace,” a simple grace before meals used at the camp. This copy of the Worth Ranch Grace is in the possession of Pete Normand of College Station, Texas. Normand is the son-in-law of Fitch’s only son, William D. Fitch.
During his years as Region Nine Scout Executive, Fitch’s office was in Dallas, Texas. During these years he was the Southern Methodist University advisor for the Alpha Omicron chapter of Alpha Phi Omega a Greek Letter Scouting fraternity.
