HERMANN HESS HELFENSTEIN (February 3, 1916 - October 14, 2008) was a Swiss Naturalist, Explorer, Climber and Engineer too. He was member of the “Schweizer Alpen Club” (SAC in Switzerland) and “Deutscher Anden Verein” (DAV in Chile). He was notable for first ascents and exploration in Patagonia.

Career as naturalist, explorer and climber

He was born in Engelberg, a mountain village in Switzerland, where his`parents ran a hotel. He began climbing with his father who was also a mountain guide.

[First Climbing Titlis North Face in Engelberg Swirtzerland in 1935 by H. Hess, W. Hoehn and O. Bolli]

In 1937, he emigrated to South America and in the South Andes Mountain Range he first climbed the Volcano Puntiagudo[1] with his partner R. Roth through the South Face.[2]

Hermann Hess led three expeditions to Northern Patagonian Ice Field. Two of them were for geological purposes, started from the east and was sponsored by the Swiss Geologist A. Heim. The expedition from 1939/12/15 to 1940/1/16 was integrated by H. Hess, A. Heim, W. Schmitt, H. Moser and H. Neumayer.[3] and the expedition from 1945/11/18 to 1945/12/31 was integrated by H.Hess, A. Heim, H. Smoll, A. Valmitjana and J. Studer. There he gave unknown and nameless summits a denomination, such as Cerro Cristal and Cerro Tronco climbing them for the first time.[4]

[Kayaking for the approach to Northern Patagonian Ice Field during the Geological Expedition from 1939 to 1940]

Hermann Hess led and sponsored a 5-month expedition[5] to the Northern Patagonian Ice Field from 1941/11/1 to 1942/3/1 starting at this time from the west with E. Hoffmann, J. Alig, G. Mani and the porter I. Vargas finding severe climatical and geographical difficulties.[6][7] In that decade he made also the successful first climb with R. Eggmann and J. Neumeyer to isolated Cerro Maca in 1944.[8]

Return to Switzerland

In 1950 he married Frida Schwabe in Puerto Varas. They had two children, German and Roland and in 1960 he returned to Switzerland. There he climbed the Mont Blanc, Weisshorn, Matterhorn, Eiger and Piz Palü.

He returned to Santiago, Capital of Chile, in 1963 and undertook the higher summits of the North Andes Mountain Range with members of DAV W. Foerster, F. Oestemer, H. Janko and other climbers until his death in 2008.

(IP) Up in Smoke

In the mirrored, colorful surface of the portal, there was a blue, sunny sky, with grassy valleys and mountains painted in every color he could imagine; after all these years, after all of his sacrifices, he’d found it. No more would he be living in this world, cold and gray and drained of life, though the universe had seen fit to put him here.

That wasn’t to say that his formative years in this world, clouded by toxic lavender clouds of smoke, were miserable. Indeed, there had been times that he’d been happy. But there was something inside of him, a deep, yawning void that was just not satisfied, even after he’d reaped the love and support that his family had shown him, a mere echo now that they were gone.

For a short, terrifying moment, he was transported back to the moment that had caused their deaths, drowning him in the fear and rage that had driven him to this in the first place—

*Three sharp, rapid knocks on the door. A beat of silence.*

*Then they kicked down the door, dark beacons of death and order and the king’s elite force, The Reaper’s Hand, fanning out like smoke and just as insubstantial, rictus grins showing behind their masks.*

*His wife, standing by the fire, stirring a stew, and his son at her feet, babbling happily.*

*“Maximillian Garvey, you have been charged by the King for treason,” The biggest, hulking guard said, his voice garbled behind his mask.*

*“The sentence for treason is death.”*

*Before the executioner had even finished his decree, his cronies had snatched up his poor wife and child; two quick swipes of the blade and Jazira fell to the floor, blood pouring from the gaping slash in her throat.*

*The only thing he remembered hearing was his own desperate, wrathful shrieks; he sounded like an injured animal. But he could see them, feel them, laughing at his agony, frenzied with bloodlust at their kill; after all, that was why the King employed them.*

*And then, to add insult to injury, they’d taken his boy, ‘to insure his future good behavior’.*

He quickly snapped himself out of the vision; that was the past and it needed to stay there. But that didn’t stop his body from remembering: the iron tang of her blood, hanging in the air as if to emphasize his own personal horror, his throat tightening so much he couldn’t breathe, invisible iron bars wrapped around his chest.

And to think, to this day, he didn’t know just what happened to his only child.

If he hadn’t had control of his temper by now, he would’ve struck the portal, destroyed his whole life’s work; he clenched his jaw and steeled himself.

He couldn’t waste all of this work, all of these years spent chasing what more people thought of as a pipe dream.

Now, he could escape, start over in a new world, where no one lived under a mad monarch’s thumb. He could leave the ghosts that haunted him in this faded husk of a world.

He did a final check of his supplies: food, clothing, as much money as he could scrape together, what he could afford to take from his lab, pictures of his wife and son, and finally, a vial of something so black it looked like the mad scientist had managed to bottle a starless night.

He was leaving at last, and good riddance. He stepped through the mirror and once he was on the other side, his back faded into the mountainous distance, and the door closed, becoming a normal mirror once more.

He’d made sure to lock the door to his crumbling tenement; more than one person had died for his secrets, and he hadn’t known, even when he’d made his choice, if his conscience could take any more blood spilled in his name.

No one ever saw Maximillian Garvey again, not even his son, when he’d returned from a childhood spent as an adopted prince, now a man.

Perhaps his father was nothing more than a mere dream.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States grounded Boeing Co’s money-spinning 737 MAX aircraft on Wednesday over safety fears after an Ethiopian Airlines plane crash that killed 157 people, leaving the world’s largest planemaker facing its worst crisis in years.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cited new satellite data and evidence from the scene of Sunday’s crash near Addis Ababa for its decision to join Europe, China and other nations in suspending 737 MAX flights.

The crash was the second disaster involving the 737 MAX, the world’s most-sold modern passenger aircraft, in less than five months.

GRAPHIC - Ethiopia Airlines crash location: tmsnrt.rs/2CdCVUi

The new information from the wreckage in Ethiopia and newly refined data about the plane’s flight path indicated some similarities between the two disasters “that warrant further investigation of the possibility of a shared cause,” the FAA said in a statement.

The acting administrator of the FAA, Daniel Elwell, said he did not know how long the U.S. grounding of the aircraft would last. A software fix for the 737 Max that Boeing has been working on since a fatal crash last October in Indonesia will take months to complete, Elwell told reporters.

The single-aisle 737 is central to Boeing’s future in its battle with European rival Airbus SE. The new variant of the 737, the fastest-selling jetliner in Boeing’s history, is viewed as the likely workhorse for global airlines for decades.

“The agency made this decision as a result of the data gathering process and new evidence collected at the site and analyzed today,” the FAA said, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the planes would be grounded.

It was the second time the FAA has halted flights of a Boeing plane in six years. It grounded the 787 Dreamliner in 2013 because of problems with smoking batteries.

Boeing, which maintained that its planes were safe to fly, said in a statement that it supported the latest FAA move.

“Boeing has determined - out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft’s safety - to recommend to the FAA the temporary suspension of operations of the entire global fleet of 371 737 MAX aircraft.”

The crash involving a Boeing 737 MAX in Indonesia killed 189 people. Passengers have been spooked by the two disasters. U.S. travel website Kayak was making changes to let customers exclude specific aircraft types from searches, and booking sites were looking to reroute passengers.

RE-BOOKING PASSENGERS

U.S. airlines that operate the 737 MAX, Southwest Airlines Co, American Airlines Group Inc and United Airlines, said they were working to re-book passengers. Southwest had 5 MAX-related cancellations on Wednesday and American nearly 40.

Southwest is the world’s largest operator of the 737 MAX 8 with 34 jets.

France’s air accident investigation agency BEA will analyze black-box cockpit voice and data recorders from the crashed plane, a spokesman said.

The French announcement resolved uncertainty over the fate of the two recorders after Germany’s BFU said it had declined a request to handle them because it could not process the new type of recorder used on the 737 MAX jets, in service since 2017.

Shares of the company ended up 0.5 percent at $377.14, recovering from a more than 3 percent fall in the afternoon when the FAA announcement was made.

The United States had held back on suspending 737 MAX flights on Tuesday even as many of the world’s top economies such as China and European nations grounded the plane.

Trump called Boeing Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg on Wednesday to inform him that the United States was preparing to ground the fleet, a White House official said.

“I spoke with a number of airlines. And speaking to the airlines, I think that we all agree that this was right decision to make. It didn’t have to be made, but we thought it was the right decision to make,” Trump told reporters.

The grounding was welcomed by air workers in the United States. John Samuelsen, international president of the Transport Workers Union of America, which represents aviation workers and flight attendants, said the grounding of the fleet was right “both for air travelers and aviation workers.”

NEW SATELLITE DATA

Canada also grounded 737 MAX jets on Wednesday, saying satellite data suggested similarities to the previous crash involving the same plane model in October.

U.S.-based aircraft-tracking firm Aireon provided the satellite data to the FAA, Transport Canada and several other authorities, company spokeswoman Jessie Hillenbrand said.

Ethiopian Airlines spokesman Asrat Begashaw said it was still unclear what happened on Sunday, but its pilot had reported control issues as opposed to external factors such as birds.

“The pilot reported flight control problems and requested to turn back. In fact he was allowed to turn back,” he said.

Brazil, Mexico and Panama on Wednesday became the first Latin American nations to suspend the Boeing 737 MAX. Earlier, Panama’s Copa Airlines had suspended operations of its six Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft until the findings are published of an investigation into Sunday’s crash.

The chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Democrat Peter DeFazio, called for a probe into why the 737 MAX received certification to fly.

Champagne, chardonnay and second-rate vodka. The descent into Vanity Heights was a perfect contradiction. Darcy’s den was full of promises. The promises of allure, freedom, revelry. The promises of power and powder, regret, addiction. But the promise that Vanity Heights fulfilled best was not Darcy’s own. It was the promise flashed upon the television, upon the computer screen, canonised on the glossed pages of magazines. The expectations of how teenager life should be; the expectations, up until this night, crushed by education and responsibility. This was the promise that led Darcy’s guests down the stairs. Down the stairs into Vanity Heights.

The house had transformed into a delinquent ballroom. The girls dropped as low as their heels would allow; their men watched through the haze. Darcy was a dragon. A pink dragon, breathing about the toxic smoke of his habit. He was perched upon his barstool throne, positioned strategically in the centre of the room, when she arrived.
“Celeste!” he exclaimed, prancing over to her, a stick of addiction in one hand and a glass of hobby in the other. She gave a long hug, a short conversation and an expected question. With a customary smile, Darcy gave to her an expected bottle of answer.

The party raved on, yet the revelry was muted by the brick wall that barricaded Celeste from the action. The rhythmic dripping of the basin tap was the only music Celeste had, yet she chose to reapply her face instead of dancing. She wanted to dance, though, and she knew Darcy would be waiting for her, so she rushed through her routine. She clasped onto her 50mL glass friend, already thrice-used, even though she had been in the bathroom only five minutes.
        The drink was downed within seconds of being poured; the liquid sunk to her stomach. She could feel the warm tendrils, cooing words of friendship, branching through her chest, her stomach and finally, finally, back up to drown her mind; pulling her further from the world and closer to her weekend friends.
        Six doses later, to finish the bottle, and she was ready to join them.

No one ever really knew why she was there. Good school, great grades, aspirations of business and law. Nevertheless, she was soon jiving and twisting and dropping on the floor, with Darcy and other men: around them and in their laps; their hands hoping to get in hers.  Her beholder lay seemingly dormant in her stomach; though its dark tendrils were tightening, strengthening their grip on Celeste, controlling her like a puppet with tangled strings. She thought the overseer a friend, a protector, but her body knew better.

Celeste mapped her escape as soon as she felt it. Up the stairs, out of Vanity Heights, past the kitchen, into the garden bed just by the backdoor. She pushed through the crowd. Darcy saw her leave; he knew why, but he didn’t follow.  He never did. By the time she reached the stairs, the beast had revealed itself. A kraken, furious as red, limbs thrashing about inside of her, fighting desperately for an escape. Tentacles of fear, doubt, regret, disappointment.
‘No,’ she thought once more, ‘I shouldn’t be disappointed.’ She knew she wasn't wasting her life; she was just having a little to drink. She wasn’t reckless and irresponsible; she was just a normal teenager. She was just having fun, she has earned it, she would stop after tonight, leave her alone. Her stomach was having none of that, though. She made a mistake by trying to fly the stairs two at a time. Her feet tangled and she fell, the first wave of expel surging from her, onto the steps above.

Whilst the beast had once been considered friend, it had no more. It escaped her again, covering her hair, clothes, face. She tried to pull herself further up the stairs, but the sickly purple tentacles constricted about her and dragged her down; down, down, down, back into Vanity Heights.
‘Vile guardian’, she cried, ‘noxious saviour, foul beast, nefarious raper; first friend, now foe. Always, foe’.
The stench accompanying her disgrace engulfed her wholly, yet the contents of her stomach continued to emerge, again and again, onto the step where her head now resigned to lay.
‘Never again,’ she sobbed, she promised to herself, her parents, her schoolwork.
‘Never again,’ she promised, but Celeste’s promises were made to be broken and it was already too late. She lay shattered upon the stair case, empress turned peasant; her knight in glass armour had left her and once more she had nothing. The world around her spun, and sank, and faded to black.

        Jerry sat there on his torn leather couch with his boyfriend reading a book with his head on his lap. As he scratched at a hole in the couch, listening to quiet music in his uneven headphones, and smiled a great smile. He realized that he was content. He store down at his boyfriends wrinkled forehead as he explained his book to Jerry, thinking about the mutual contentedness of their relationship, and leaned down to his forehead and kissed it, turning his head so his cheek rested on his forehead, and read the book he was reading. His boyfriend Brian chuckled and bent his neck back to look at Jerry, and Jerry looked down him, and Brian continued to read the book to Jerry.

        Jerry sat cross legged next to a laying Brian on their bed in the time of morning people don't usually wake up in. Jerry and Brian liked this time of morning, because it was so... Nice. They liked to sit and watch and eat cereal as the sun slowly washed over their glossy wooden table and  then slid off the table and onto the ground. Jerry stood up with the milk to put it away, but Brian grabbed his hand, and Jerry sat down again, Brian's grip on Jerry's hand loosened.

        Brian decided today, a Sunday, that they should go to the farmers market just outside of campus, because Brain and Jerry had just gotten their paycheck last week and it had been about $200 each, so they kept $50 each. Brian, the only one who could drive, drove them to the farmers market, and Jerry read Brian's book to him on the way.

        Jerry and Brian had a surprisingly long day at the farmers market. Brian had broke down and was muttering something about his sister in the car when they were driving home, blinking tears out of his eyes. Jerry stew in the passenger seat, annoyed that he felt annoyed about Brian's lamenting*. Brian's sister, Janice had died in a car accident back in August and apparently Janice liked the farmers markets. Jerry had gone to her wedding, wearing the same tuxedo he would at her funeral a few weeks later, from some store in the nearby mall. His father asked Jerry to leave because he had just seen him in that suit, and oh, that was absurd. But then Brian started crying again, and his dad hugged him, and Jerry left and sat on top of their car for an hour to cool down. Brian's parents never did like the fact of homosexuality, so they tried to pretend that Jerry didn't exist, and that Brian actually had a girlfriend--it was all very weird, and that's why Jerry avoided them as much as possible.

        Jerry did like Janice, she was actually quite a nice girl, and acted like Jerry existed, which was a first for Brian's family. He was sad when she died, but he didn't know her well enough to cry our miss her.

I'll probably post updates to this. This is an old short story I recently picked back up.

"SQUIRE! Fetch me my horse! I’m going out hunting!"

"Yes sire!"

Lousy, ungrateful, stupid bastard. Squire? Fucking squire? Jesus man you know my name, I’m Perry, like I tell you every fucking day. And don’t even get me started on the hunting. Hunting? Why don’t you just describe it accurately and call it seating your fat ass on the back of that poor sop of a horse and forcing it to canter round your shitty little forest, while you giggle with glee at the delightful experience of bouncing up and down. And all the while you’re accompanied by a large band of trumpeters, making absolutely sure every single animal with a brain has enough time to hear this ludicrous ensemble of idiocy, pack up its family, maybe have a small bite to eat and move the fuck away. Quite frankly, anything stupid enough to be caught by this moronic party had it coming. If the hunting party didn’t get them, an angry 6 year old with a small stick would’ve done the next morning.

But I’ve side-tracked. The more important debate here is how the fuck this man managed to become a knight. I’d call him stupid but that would be an insult to uneducated peons everywhere. He is his own class of stupid, so far down the IQ scale he may have broken into previously unexplored realms of negative IQ. Oh, you think I’m being mean? Maybe a bit overdramatic? Oh no no no. Let me explain. This is the man who, when getting out of a double bed, rolled over the wrong way to the other side of the bed and, rather than realise his mistake and either rolling the other way to escape the bed, or continuing his roll to reach the other side, shouted desperately for help, for he had lost the floor and was surely doomed. This is the man who picked up a sword from the wrong end and failed to understand his mistake. This is the man who put a helmet on his foot and complained when he couldn’t walk properly. Please understand, my master is genuinely something else. I’ve yet to theorise how he became a knight. Oh yes, his father was a knight and that grants him an easy ride to the role, but I am amazed that, after discovering that his son had the intelligence of a melon, his dear father hadn’t pushed him to follow an alternative career path, something more appropriate to his level like, ooh I don’t know, an early grave.

Too far? Perhaps. But you don’t have to serve under this infantile baboon. Every waking moment of my day is spent entertaining his every want and need, and oh boy does he have a lot of needs. Sometimes – and I wish I was joking – he struggles with wiping his own ass. Guess who gets that fantastic job? That’s right, Squire Perry, his faithful fucking assistant. Other highlights include: serving him his food; helping him eat his food; cleaning his food when he spills it on the floor, like the clumsy halfwit he is; cleaning his bed; cleaning his clothes; organising his equipment. Oh, and how could I forget, fetching his fucking horse when he wants to go on a fucking hunting expedition.

I should go, he might cry if he doesn’t get his bloody horse soon. Ooh, that is a tempting prospect... but no. It wouldn’t be obeying my fucking duty. I swear to fucking god. Pray for me, would you?

title: Perry [HF]

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe a backstory for Squire Perry in 3-5 sentences based on character and context clues.

answer: Squire Perry is a knight's servant. He is charged with the care of the knight's horse, equipment, and food. He is also charged with ministering to the knight's needs, including cleaning up after the knight's messes. Perry's life is one of servitude and hardship, and he is angry and bitter.

answer: Squire Perry is a servant to a knight. He is frustrated with his master's incompetence and stupidity. He is also frustrated with the fact that he is forced to serve his master.

text: There is no evidence that Perry is forced to serve his master.

refinement: Squire Perry is a servant to a knight. He is frustrated with his master's incompetence and stupidity. He is also frustrated with the fact that he has to do whatever his master wants, even when it is stupid and unnecessary.

JONATHAN MCCOLLUM, Associate Professor of Music at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, is an ethnomusicologist and performer on the Japanese shakuhachi.[1] He is the founding Chair of the Historical Ethnomusicology section of the Society for Ethnomusicology, and is known for his work on the music of Armenia.[2]

Music Scholarship

McCollum is especially known for theoretical contributions to the historiography of global music (historical ethnomusicology), and research studies into both the music of Armenia and the music of Japan, particularly Zen Buddhist ritual and shakuhachi flute tradition.

As a musicologist, McCollum has contributed extensively to academic journals, encyclopedias, and music reference works, including most recently the _Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Popular Music_, the _Sage International Encyclopedia of Music and Culture_, and the _New Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments_. He has also worked as a consultant for the Armenian Library and Museum of America, the Smithsonian Institution, and _Folkways Alive!_ of the Canadian Centre for Ethnomusicology at the University of Alberta.

McCollum is the author of _Armenian Music: A Comprehensive Bibliography and Discography_ (Scarecrow Press, 2004)[3][4][5] and has contributed to many other volumes. He is currently developing a book on music of the Vikings with David Hebert, with whom he co-edited an earlier book,_Theory and Method in Historical Ethnomusicology_ (Lexington Books, 2014), and edits a book series for Rowman and Littlefield press,[6] The Lexington Series in Historical Ethnomusicology: Deep Soundings.[7]

Music Performance

McCollum holds the specialized Shihan 師範 (Master’s) license in shakuhachi performance and teaching,[8] with the professional name (natori) “Kenzen (研禅)” earned primarily through studies under _Dai Shihan_ (Grand Master) Michael Chikuzen Gould.[9]

As a professional performer, McCollum has also contributed to virtual instrument sample libraries; he is the shakuhachi player for Stealth Wind software (on Unearthed Sampling’s Kontakt platform), which is widely used by professional soundtrack composers for videos and films.[10]

He also works as a professional trombonist. McCollum is a Hoshi (Dharma Holder) at Clare Sangha in Baltimore and is the founding teacher of the Chester River Sangha, Zen Buddhist communities in the White Plum Asanga.[11]

[5] According to _Music References Review Quarterly_, McCollum’s book _Music: A Comprehensive Bibliography and Discography_ is “the most important English-language resource for Armenian music to date,” and a review in _Choice_ describes it as “exceptionally good on history … well organized and indexed”.

FERNANDO ALFONSO YZNAGA DEL VALLE (October 16, 1850 – March 6, 1901) was a Cuban American banker who was one of the best-known men of New York and foreign society and club life. Described as “one of the most entertaining of men, very clever at epigram and repartee, and famous for quaint sayings. His life had been adventurous and, from a domestic point of view, somewhat of a stormy nature.”[1]

Early life

Yznaga was born in New York on October 16, 1850. He was the oldest of four children, and only son, born to merchant diplomat Antonio Modesto Yznaga del Valle (1823–1892) and Ellen Maria (née Clements) Yznaga (1833–1908).[2] His father was from an old Cuban family who owned a large plantation (Torre Iznaga)[3] and sugar mills in the vicinity of Trinidad, Cuba; they had connections to several Spanish aristocratic families.[4] In addition to plantations in Cuba and Louisiana, his parents owned properties in New York City and Newport, Rhode Island. Among his siblings was Consuelo Yznaga (who married George Montagu, 8th Duke of Manchester in 1876)[5] Naticia Yznaga (who married Sir John Lister-Kaye, 3rd Baronet in 1881),[6] and Emily Yznaga (who never married).[7][8]

His maternal grandfather, Samuel Clements, was a steamboat captain who owned Ravenswood Place, a plantation in Concordia Parish, Louisiana, which his mother inherited upon their death.[9] Through his sister Consuelo, he was uncle to William Montagu, 9th Duke of Manchester and two nieces, known as May and Nell, who both died of consumption before marrying.[10] He was with his sister in Davos when her youngest daughter, Lady Alice (Nell), died. Reportedly, he “never seemed a very strong man since then,” and it was said that “his constitution had never recovered from the long, nervous strain which he went through at that time.”[11]

He was graduated from the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard,[12] before returning south and earning an LL.D. degree from Louisiana Law School while at his families plantation near Lake Concordia in Louisiana, where they were all well known in New Orleans society.[13]

Career

After his eldest sister's marriage to the Duke of Manchester, he came to New York City.[14] After his first marriage to a sister-in-law of William Kissam Vanderbilt, he was reportedly gifted a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and entered the firm of H. B. Hollins & Co. at 15 Wall Street, a close friend of Vanderbilt's and J. Pierpont Morgan. Yznaga was “an excelled businessman” and made his fortune at the firm, working there for twenty years until his death in 1901.[15] The firm, which was organized in 1878, went bankrupt on November 13, 1913.[16]

Even after his divorce from Jennie, he remained close friends with Vanderbilt and was frequently aboard his yacht, the _Valiant_. Yznaga, Vanderbilt and Winfield Hoyt were referred to as the “Three Vanderbilt Musketeers” as they were always seen together.[17] He was a member of the Union Club, the Tuxedo Club, the County Club, the Manhattan Club, the Athletic Club, the Meadow Brook Hunt Club, and one of the original members of the Metropolitan Club in 1891, where he lived.[18][19]

Personal life

[Mrs. Fernando Yznaga, née Miss Mabel Wright, of New York, .] On September 22, 1880, Yznaga was married to Mobile, Alabama born Mary Virginia “Jennie” Smith (1856–1926), sister of Alva (née Smith) Vanderbilt at the Vanderbilt home in Oakdale on Long Island.[20] They were daughters of Murray Forbes Smith, a commission merchant, and Phoebe Ann (née Desha) Smith (daughter of US Representative Robert Desha).[21] After their divorce in 1886, Jennie remarried to William George Tiffany of Baltimore (a nephew of Mrs. August Belmont and first cousin of Charles Lewis Tiffany)[22] in 1888 and moved to Maisons-Laffitte near Paris (before their eventual divorce in 1903).[23][24]

Fernando's engagement to Mabel Elizabeth Wright (1869–1926)[25] was announced in what was described as an astonishment to society. At the time, she was living with her father, a designer of carpets for Higgins Mills, in a boarding house and “her face was her fortune.” The wedding took place a week later on March 4, 1890 at the boarding house and they set sail for Europe the following day. Upon their return, they lived in New York and at Tuxedo Park. Mabel later went to South Dakota where she divorced Fernando in 1895 and,[26] soon after, married the Hungarian Count Bela Zichy (nephew of Mihály Zichy) and became the mother of Count Theodore Zichy.[27] There were rumors of his engagement to be married a third time, including to Constance Biddle a few weeks before his death, but they were all denied.

Yznaga died of diphtheria at the Minturn Hospital in New York City on March 6, 1901.[28] After a funeral at the Little Church Around The Corner, he was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx.[29] Upon his death, his estate worth about $2,000,000,[30] was left primarily to his sister, then the Dowager Duchess of Manchester.[31]

answer: No answer


text:
    Early on a Saturday morning, I woke up to birds chirping, children laughing and playing outside at the park, and the sun shining through my window onto the floor where my little kitten, Jericho, lay on his back purring. Jericho isn’t year old yet and has black fur with a white stomach paws. He is a good kitten, sometimes he can be a little mischievous, like when I wake up in the middle of the night and he is staring at me with his big, black, glowing eyes or when I walk into my room and he will pounce on me like Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes. I went downstairs to make myself a cup of hot coffee. I turned on the coffee machine and stepped outside to enjoy the weather for a little while my coffee was brewing. The chase I was sprawled out on was so cozy I dozed off a little bit. I thought about all of the good days I’ve had that started out like this. I felt as if nothing could go wrong.

I woke up to the voluptuous aroma of fresh, blue mountain, Jamaican coffee... And smoke. I could smell my ex-wife Gretta from the street. Gretta was a little bit on the darker side when it came to humor, clothing and choice of color. She had pale skin and jet black hair, she was pretty, too pretty to be forty . Undoubtedly she was here with her lawyer to tell me that I needed to hand over half of my stuff because she bought it (with my money) and therefore it was her’s. I could sense that she was planning something by the way she stepped out her cigarette and how she walked up the path in the front yard to ring my doorbell that she wanted more than just my stuff and my money. As I stood up, I heard her ring the bell and on my way to the door I was thinking of what else she wanted from me. I answered the door and without warning, Gretta walked in and so did the smell of the smoke that had a choke hold to her body and clothes. I was silent, observing her face to get any hint of what she wanted. She looked straight into my eyes as if she was looking into my soul. I was entranced by her eyes and wondering why she was here. I couldn’t break the spell of her crystal blue eyes. Then, without saying a word, I was in pain. Not physical, but emotional pain. How could she do this to me? She knows how much he means to me. She must be a demon straight from hell! Full of rage, I shouted “You can’t!” she replied “oh but I can.” the man sitting next to her pulled out a list. I saw a name on it. It wasn’t a chair or a TV, it was Jericho. I ran upstairs and snatched Jericho from the bed, much to his surprise. He pawed my face but then realized it was me. Gretta followed me, “He’s mine now”

I slowly looked up at her and made a face that radiated disgust and hatred. I walked over to my wardrobe and opened the doors. I watched the expression on her face slowly turn from a spiteful satisfaction to a shocked horror as I drew a fully loaded Armalite AR-180 carbine gas-operated semi automatic into my shoulder. This gun had never felt so smooth and soft as I firmly held the grip in my hand, the rifle felt like it belonged in my arms like a lover returning home from war as he embraces his lover longer and harder than he ever has before. I looked down the sights, I focused first on the rear sights as they stand like two great pillars with only death separating them. Then I focus in the front sight; it stands like an oasis of fatality in a desert of life. Then, her face. Her face is colorless and already looks dead. That beautiful face of a woman who doesn’t look half her age, turned as white as the light at the end of the tunnel and aged twenty years. I said in a cold, hard voice,”Go to hell, bitch.”

Her head now painted the wall behind her as fragments of her brain stuck to the wall. Gretta’s lifeless body fell backwards and hit the wall behind her much as someone after a long day at work sits down, glad to get a rest. Her slender arms were open with the palms of her hands facing me. She was dead.

    I stood there looking at what I had done, I may have over reacted a bit. The lawyer stomped up the stairs and flung open the door to the morbid scene that I had just created. He stared at her, his mouth agape and eyes wide open. he stared at her limp body for a minute or two then he slowly and fearfully turned his head to me, eyeing the death machine I held in my hands. I saw the grip of the Beretta poking out from underneath his jacket. I don't think he knows I saw the pistol but at that moment I knew I couldn’t let him get away so I pulled the Armalite back up to my shoulder and he slipped behind the door frame just as I let three rounds slip into the solid walnut door directly behind him. I looked out the window and saw the license plate “L8VTX23” on a black BMW M3 then I saw him running out to his car and fumbling in his pocketses for his keys. I ran downstairs as fast as I could and saw his phone laying on the kitchen table. I exhaled a sigh of relief because I knew that I still had a chance to get him and make sure that no one knew about what had went down earlier today.

I grabbed the garage door opener and my keys then ran out back and backed out in my Audi R8 and sped off. I could just see him turn at the light about 200 feet away so I stepped on the gas and screeched around the corner and caught up to him. My palms were sweaty and and my hands were shaking as I tapped on the gas and yanked the wheel to my left so the nose of my car took out the back of his. He lost control and broke through the barrier and crashed into a tree. The lawyer emerged from the car looking like he had just been beaten off and limped to the nearest tree for support. I walked down the the hill to where he stood and said, “You should always wear your seatbelt,” He looked at me with a face full of horror and surprise, “You. Are. Insane! People like you don’t deserve to live!”

“Little did you know, that  you are the one who is working for the force of evil.-”

“You’re lying”

“do you know why she wanted Jericho? Do you know what jericho is? Jericho is the key to the portal. The portal that Gretta and I built. We had it all figured out, we were the best of friends since we met, we did everything together! But at the last moment, our differences held us back. The portal would answer all of our questions, it would give us a continuation of forces, we would all become gods! She wanted to use the portal to manipulate the economy, to manipulate politics, to manipulate our minds, she wanted to rule the world. I was the only one who could stop her. before we even had the portal opened, she already had a god complex, she was never wrong.”

“None of this makes any sense! you are crazy! I am just a lawyer who was helping with a divorce!”

“Thats what she wanted you to believe but you were actually delivering her the key to the universe.”

“But it’s just a cat!”

“No it’s the key. The key was originally the apple of Eve, the cause of the sin in the world today. I transformed the apple into Jericho, a living, breathing, immortal being.”

“You really are crazy!” Just then he wipped his coat back and yanked out the berreta that he had tucked in his hip as I ducked behind a tree. Bullets ripped the bark off the tree. I pulled out my Desert Eagle and dove out from behind the tree. I put a bullet in his chest through his femoral artery and one in his neck. he fell to the ground as I stood up and finished him with a bullet between the eyes.
