    This collection consists of the papers of Hedwig Geng née Berg from her time as a forced laborer in Munich (1939-1942), her incarceration in Theresienstadt (1943-1945), and her eventual liberation. The bulk of the collection consists of personal correspondence with relatives living in England and with Luise Geng, Hedwig’s daughter who immigrated to the United States in 1940. Other correspondence includes letters by Hedwig Geng to Margarete Mühsam of the Leo Baeck Institute regarding her experiences.Hedwig Geng née Berg was born in Munich on April 23, 1891 to Moritz Berg and his wife Jeanette née Hirschmann. She married Karl Geng on April 2, 1917, and their daughter Luise was born in 1922. Hedwig Geng was deported to Theresienstadt in 1943. She returned to Munich in 1945 and immigrated to the United States in 1946, where she lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She died in May 1981.8 catalogue cards.Photographs removed to Photograph CollectionProcesseddigitizedSpies, Gerty; Levyn, Emmy; Vogl, Rudolf; Denk, Marianne; Kahn family ; Oppenheimer, Ernst ; Herzberg, Karl; Mühsam, Margaret T. ; Berg, Jeanette;

    Gertrude zTrudiy Geng Cobb quietly passed away June 18, 2015. The child of German immigrants, Trudi was born on Oct. 28, 1927, in Palo Alto where she lived throughout her life. Trudi earned her Associates of Art degree in merchandising from Lux College in San Francisco where she was the class valedictorian. She embraced her college years and the opportunity it brought her to work for the San Francisco department store, The White House. There she became the children's buyer making several trips to New York each year. During that time she met her husband W. Robert Cobb of Palo Alto. She worked for The White House until her first daughter, Joan, was born in 1956, followed in 1958 by her second daughter, Marian. Trudi remained busy in retail as well as volunteering for many organizations throughout the remainder of her life. Her family and friends were most important to her. Her warmth and wit will be missed. She is survived by her daughters, Joan Boodrookas of San Anselmo (husband Nick Boodrookas) and Marian Cobb of Palo Alto (husband Phil Fox) grandchildren, Alex Boodrookas of New York and Diane Boodrookas of San Anselmo sisters, Elizabeth zBettyy Cobb and Margaret zDollyy Kinsey and brother-in-law Harvey Cobb

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

This species is named in honor of Prof. Mohammad Hayat (Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University, Uttar Pradesh, India) for his contributions to the study of Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea. Comments. Mid tarsal structure of E. hayati is similar to that of the foregoing new species (see also comments under E. dianensis). Placement to species-group of this new species is uncertain. Among the species with a 5:4:5 tarsal formula and fore wing with a clear asetose area around the stigmal vein (meghalayana - and cubensis -group), E. hayati is unique by having a completely yellow body, and narrowly separated placoid sensilla on the scutellum. This species is closely related to E. dianensis based on similar structures of the mid tarsi, body color, and shape and characters of the fore wing, but can be separated from the latter by the differences given in the key and the comments under E. dianensis.Published as part of Geng, Hui & Li, Cheng-De, 2016, Five new species of genus Encarsia Förster from China (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), pp. 535-549 in Zootaxa 4162 (3) on pages 540-542, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4162.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/25468

Anterior pair of scutellar setae distinctly shorter and thinner than posterior pair, and distance between anterior pair 0.92× that between posterior pair. Endophragma rounded at apex, extending to anterior margin of T2. Fore wing (Fig. 34) 3.3× as long as wide, with a small asetose area around stigmal vein; costal cell with 4 short setae in basal half; basal cell with 2 setae; submarginal vein with 2 setae; marginal vein 1.26× as long as submarginal vein, with 4 setae along anterior margin; marginal fringe 0.67× as long as wing width. Hind wing (Fig. 35) 7.69× as long as wide, marginal fringe 1.54× as long as wing width. Tarsal formula 5:5:5. Mid tibial spur 0.92× as long as corresponding basitarsus (Fig. 36), and the latter 0.28× as long as mid tibia. Hind tibia as long as mid tibia. Metasoma (Fig. 37) with petiole (Fig. 38) sculptured laterally. T1–T4 with scale-like reticulation laterally. T2– T7 with 1+1, 1+1, 1+1, 2+2, 1+2+1 and 4 setae, respectively. T7 2.59× as wide as long. Ovipositor not or hardly exerted, apparently originating from anterior margin of T4, 1.05× as long as mid tibia, and 0.83× as long as mid tibia and basitarsus combined. Third valvula 0.37× as long as second valvifer. Male. Unknown. Host. Unknown. Variation. Antennal segment F3 with 1–2 longitudinal sensilla. Distance between placoid sensilla on scutellum approximately 2–4× maximum width of a sensillum. Axillae completely yellow (slightly brownish at apex in one paratype). Marginal vein of fore wing with 4 or 5 (in one paratype with 6–8) setae along anterior margin. In one paratype, 1 seta present at apex of stigmal vein of fore wing. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the collection locality name. Comments. This new species is placed in the E. parvella- group as defined by Polaszek & Gill (2011), except for the host being unknown, in having all tarsi 5-segmented, fore wing with an asetose area around the stigmal vein, marginal fringe of the fore wing not longer than the wing width, and each side lobe of the mesoscutum with 2 setae. However, it is easily separated from all the species of the group by the following combination of characters: only 2 setae on the mid lobe of the mesoscutum, relatively densely setose fore wing disc, laterally sculptured petiole, and relatively short third valvula (less than 0.5× second valvifer). Encarsia yunnana resembles E. gerlingi Viggiani (1989) in similar body color, antennal structure, similar shape, setation, pigmentation on venation of the fore wing, and relatively short third valvulae, but is distinguished from the latter by: mid lobe of mesoscutum with 2 setae (vs 8 setae), marginal fringe of fore wing relatively long, 0.67–0.80× as long as wing width (vs shorter than half of wing width), and distance between anterior pair of scutellar setae about equal to that between posterior pair (vs distinctly shorter).Published as part of Geng, Hui & Li, Cheng-De, 2016, Five new species of genus Encarsia Förster from China (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), pp. 535-549 in Zootaxa 4162 (3) on pages 546-548, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4162.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/25468
