My Sister,
You know you have been a real horrible sister...how do you sleep? You say she is at peace...I say She cannot be! You didn't do what she wanted! Period. That is the long and the short of it, Shirley Deane. How could you keep this fight of ours alive...this division of her children. Her last wish was for Unity sister...but you're stubborn and cannot admit when you are wrong. She was that way too. You used to understand the problem with that kind of thinking...but you want her bad traits to be your as well? She made me EQUAL to you and Patrick.
I will bitch, and moan, and from the top of the world until I die- Expose you! You owe me an apology and you owe me 12.5% of My Mother's Estate, photos, dolls, jewelry and the rest of what I did not even get to look at ever again. I will tell everyone The Truth...you remember the Truth Shirley? Remember promising your little sister to love her and grow old with her...Viola's Jewelry, all the promises are broken like Our Sisterhood. You walked in her apt and said to me" What the fuck are you doing here...LEAVE!"and of course "we" know the rest of it...don't we Shirley, and Mother! You let that and mom's decision change everything between us...WHY? I know who I am, what I am. You wanna go back and throw my past in my face...write it down?
I am going write a book...Yet you put others down all the time...if half of our relatives knew what you were saying about them behind their backs...for shame sister. I am ashamed of you.
Sometimes I wanna beat your ass - other times I want to just hold you in my arms. What you said and did in front of Mom was unforgivable Shirley...the things you have done since...despicable. I want my share, my Inheritance. I have your Bible, Joe handed it to me, if you had not run him off, Shari and anyone else you felt like taking away from her- you would have it now...he was mink oiling it for her, and never got to give it back-because of YOU! Momma loved her Shirley...for whatever reasons she loved a lot of other people as well.
You were her favorite...we all knew that. Kevin was too. Sure he hurt her...but that was her favorite son, I've heard her tell him that many times. You cannot rewrite her history, her will her children. You have disgraced us All Shirley- The Cavender Siblings..we look so dysfunctional and you relish in it!. So many know what you really have done to me...and NO ONE agrees - except your own subjects and most disagree/but cannot tell you for fear of your wrath. You can follow web-sites tell you die, I will never stop until this is made right!. You can read my story...I am publishing it, I have a contract with Random. Now you have the power to Unite Sylvia's family...you have the Power to forgive whatever the hell it is you think I did to YOU! I did nothing, I took up for you, when
Momma told me she was changing Executor's, she was scared you would sell her house, that is what you had been telling her. You did this...by being mean to her, trying to get her to leave Yates Center...that is why she called me...we both fell right in and then you went crazy! How come none of you knew?
Kevin was there 3 years...yet no one cared about him living with her, caring for her. They enabled each other at that time. Of course she was dying...she had been for years and years...she had a disease and you all acted like it just could not be, What? No way...yeah, a here is a NewsFlash Shirley..We are Next!
What you did to me at her Funeral, Grandmother's Funeral as well...is now History. You have been so mean, so unloving to me. You do not deserve me as your sister Shirley. I am very different than you. I love unconditionally, I give my heart and it stays where I left it Forever. You have hurt me more that anyone in the world! I cannot stress to you more...This whole thing since I called from her hospital room has been the worst time in my life! You have taken from me not only my birthright and my Inheritance...you try to take my Mother...but My mother loved me...whether you like it or not Shirley...God is going to ask you one day...what you have done to your sister...? I fear you will pay dearly for this choice you have made! I pray you fix this...before YOU pass...please for your own Soul's Sake! There was/is enough to share...she wrote what she wanted, she signed it in front of YOU on your birthday! How do you explain all the lies now? We never tried to take Daddy's $$, Bruce Harrington told me about the Topeka trip! Despicable! My treatment at my mother's Funeral, horrifying, the letter, the obituary's all of them hers and Daddy's...don't you realize everyone knows about your greed? My book will make it clear...wouldn't be great if it made me $$$ :) How you treated Mom...when Rocky died..you and Pat...you could have cared less that Momma was grieving, all you thought about was bad, and what he did to you! I defended you both and hoped you would come around and you did, hell you gave me an 1/8 of really good weed. Thanks:) I also was with her that entire time, Gale too. I tried to help her, I told you what she was going through you still were mean. The when it all became too real, that she was truly leaving us...you did what you do best-you struck out at me and you refuse to believe you can ever do wrong to Kelly...who the fuck does she think she is??? Who do you think I am Shirley? Do you know me...my heart? Who and how deep is My Love for My Family, For My one and Only Mother?
You are not too bright lately, have you had your head and heart looked at? Maybe you should see a Doctor? Want to go to Family Counseling Shirley, my Treat? I think we should or would you rather this fester to a stinking rotten time in hell?
Put yourself in my shoes, be me...think of what has gone on the last 6 years...be me...How would you feel about your big sister?
www.facebook.com/pages/Whos-Will-Family-Losses/1284834505...
Fix this Shirley, I love you...you will always be mine. We could get past all of this division. Mom could truly be at Peace...not just your wishful thinking( she is PISSED-She was of a sound mind-(her body no) but her mind sharp...give to me what she wanted me to have. I want my wedding rings and my star sapphire& platinum ring, I want Viola's Jewelry, my dolls, I want copies of photos, I want 12.5 % and I want Mike to give Tj his share -he is 18 and he wants it. I want my beautiful sister in my life but how can I ever trust this woman with love again? God is the only help we have sister. I want a family Reunion...to bad your half won't be there...Shirley WAKE UP...You are Killing ME! MY blood pressure is high, hurt for you, I beg you to stop this assault on me, Kevin, Joe( those two are so lost), the moment you do...everyone else will come together like she wanted1 You told her a Findagrave...she could be at Peace again. Shirley she is not...how can she be? The Will was not kept...and you took 3 of her babies away from her and her greats. How can She be at Peace? All because YOU love her...sorry dear sister...you are not an only child. She loved us all, you have no right to rewrite her history, kids or Will!
I pray that you read this and understand I am so hurt and angry. I try daily to not feel this pain, but it is a constant. Do you really hate me so much Shirley that you would slowly kill me like this? Please don't - Please love me as I love you. Please let's show this fucked-up world nothing can break Our Family again...that we are United and we do love each other...everyone wants Unity except you! I will forgive you Shirley...I promise I will. It has been so very hard losing her, you Clay, Shannon, Brandie, Brooke, Mikie, Bobbie, Jace......your momma died- well, my momma died and half my family died with her- because of YOU. Don't you miss Nicholl'e? She wishes she could invite you all to her Wedding next month. Don't you miss Victor...he has been so down, really hurt, I worry about him. I have four new Grans, one from Joe and 3 from Nic's David. everyone wants to see us together again like Mom wanted! This is so unfair to my kids- to me, to Kevin & Joe(she loved them)it is the worst Injustice of My Lifetime...and it comes straight from your hateful heart. What you have done is Civil fraud and I can and might file formal charges against you and Mikie, you sure sent and provided solid proof of my case...they want me to file...Bel Aire PD, advised me to and I already knew what my rights are.My IQ is very high! I could have sued in Probate Court, I thought about, got advice. I believe Mom would not have wanted me to do that...sue my sister and nephew, so I didn't. I believe she will try to move this mountain of pain if I keep praying and talking, sharing, publishing and in general....haunt your thoughts as you do mine- until you make this right! For me, for her, for the others you have ostracized. Please Shirley just get this over with. You and him have more that you will ever need, you have many blessings. I am poor, I could have really used that 12.5% share of my mother's will . Does that make me greedy? I have never been greedy and it is not about the property or $...it is about my birthright and my big sister's Vendetta. SAVE ME SHIRLEY...I AM DYING...LIKE A PLANT IN THE SUN WITH NO WATER...I PRAY FOR RAIN ! I know what losing mom was like for you, how much and how close you two always were, I would never say less. But Shirley I loved her and she loved me...had it not been for Joe...we probably would have had better times, but we made up, you know this...because you were there too. Where are you now? How can you just go in and out of people's life when they displease you? You do it to lots of us...think about it. Shirley, I was not put on this earth to please you...I am just a struggling human trying to make the most of love, life and my family. If it were not for Victor and Nicholl'e loving me...there would be no one here that does. I Thank God for that...and I pray for you and I to stop and realize we are losing precious time and we both love and want Momma at Peace. She can be...but you have to make good on her wishes, her will, her life, her children. I miss you so much Shirley, everyday I wish you were my sister again, I am sorry, I did not do whatever it is you think I did! I swear, I have always been on your side...until you choked me 4-6-2007 and began hating me again...God you were me down, you take my family, my joy, my future greats and it hurts so bad Shirley, I hope no one ever hurts you like you have done to me. I would not wish this injustice or pain on anyone! I want my sister back, I want Mom's will to be DONE...not Undone. Shirley you are not dumb...Do the right thing...Fix this PLEASE...I miss you guys, I miss Momma....I want to share her pictures...I HAVE HARDLY ANY! I have loved you much better then you have loved me...let's do this Shirley...it is in your hands to make the Cavender a whole United family...It is sooooo Broken right now. I do not deserve this and I fight back with renewed strength!You have broken me Shirley, I am a mess, I cry all the time, my heart breaks I swear I hear new cracks everyday I miss you. Every day my Mother is Not At Rest..We are Not United...She wants us UNITED SHIRLEY...don't you get it????????? Kelly Ann

Rank: 103
Notes: An albumen print taken by Michelez of an ink wash drawing by Victor Hugo. The drawings were made to be included in “Les Travailleurs de la Mer" a novel by Victor Hugo published in 1866. They were not intended to illustrate the story but rather to represent Hugo's impressions during his exile. The book is dedicated to the island of Guernsey, where Hugo spent 15 years in exile. Hugo uses the setting of a small island community to transmute seemingly mundane events into drama of the highest calibre. Les Travailleurs de la Mer is set just after the Napoleonic Wars and deals with the impact of the Industrial Revolution upon the island. The story concerns a Guernsey man named Gilliatt, a social outcast who falls in love with Deruchette, the niece of a local shipowner, Mess Lethierry. When Lethierry's ship is wrecked on the Roches Douvres, a perilous reef, Deruchette promises to marry whoever can salvage the ship's steam engine. Gilliatt eagerly volunteers, and the story follows his physical trials and tribulations (which include a battle with a Pieuvre, an octopus), as well as the undeserved opprobrium of his neighbours.
After Napoleon Bonaparte’s coup on 2 December 1851 and his failed attempt to organize the Republican resistance, Hugo escaped on 11 December by train from Paris to Brussels, dressed as a printing house worker with fake ID papers under the name of Lanvin. On 9 January 1852, his name is on the main list of “Procrits”. On 5 August 1852, Hugo arrived from Brussels to Jersey, after a transit in London. Through Edmond Bacot, a photographer from Caen who came to Jersey to support the cause of the outlaws, Hugo set up the “Jersey Workshop” between 1852 and 1855, a photographic studio in the greenhouse of Marine Terrace... photography became a family affair.

Who put my hope in Thee, Son of God, gentle Father

Thou, King, wast on earth, receive me, my God! "

Elizabeth inherited the majority of his wealth and land, estimated to be around 6,000 acres in total and 50 houses (at today’s value worth around £50 million), the balance of land having been endowed to the Alms houses / Hospital. One of the manors inherited by Elizabeth was the Manor of Lilford, which the Elmes family owned until 1711. The wealth of William Browne was thus the basis on which Lilford Hall was built by his grandson and executor William Elmes in 1495, and indeed its' extension in 1635.

Sir Henry Montagu, 1st Earl of Manchester (c. 1563 – 7 November 1642) was an English judge, politician and peer.
He was the grandson of Sir Edward Montagu, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench 1539–1545, who was named by King Henry VIII one of the executors of his will, and governor to his son, Edward VI. Born at Boughton, Northamptonshire, about 1563, he was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, and, having been called to the bar, was elected recorder of London in 1603, and in 1616 was made Chief Justice of the King’s Bench, in which office it fell to him to pass sentence on Sir Walter Raleigh in October 1618.
In 1620 he was appointed Lord High Treasurer, being raised to the peerage as Baron Montagu of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Viscount Mandeville. He became President of the Council in 1621, in which office he was continued by Charles I, who created him Earl of Manchester in 1626. In 1628 he became Lord Privy Seal, and in 1635 a commissioner of the treasury. Although from the beginning of his public life in 1601, when he first entered parliament, Manchester had inclined to the popular side in politics, he managed to retain to the end the favour of the king. He was a judge of the Star Chamber, and one of the most trusted councillors of Charles I. His loyalty, ability and honesty were warmly praised by Clarendon. In conjunction with Coventry, the lord keeper, he pronounced an opinion in favour of the legality of ship money in 1634. He died on 7 November 1642.
Manchester was married three times, firstly to Catherine Spencer.[1] He was succeeded by his eldest son, Edward Montagu, Viscount Mandeville, from this marriage. The second son of Henry and Catherine was Walter Montagu, the courtier and abbot.[2]
One of his sons by his third wife, Margaret Crouch, was father of Charles Montagu, created Earl of Halifax in 1699.

Dashing Austrian actor Robert Hoffmann (1939) was best known for his title role performance in The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1964), his debut. He has since appeared in various parts in film and TV throughout Europe in Germany, Italy, France and occasionally the UK.
Robert Hoffmann was born in Salzburg, Austria. His screen debut was the title role in the French-German TV series Les aventures de Robinson Crusoë/The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Jean Sacha, 1964). The series was based on the first of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe novels and was a huge success internationally.

The Burgtheater at Dr.-Karl -Lueger-Ring (from now on, 2013, Universitätsring) in Vienna is an Austrian Federal Theatre. It is one of the most important stages in Europe and after the Comédie-Française, the second oldest European one, as well as the greatest German speaking theater. The original 'old' Burgtheater at Saint Michael's square was utilized from 1748 until the opening of the new building at the ring in October, 1888. The new house in 1945 burnt down completely as a result of bomb attacks, until the re-opening on 14 October 1955 was the Ronacher serving as temporary quarters. The Burgtheater is considered as Austrian National Theatre.
Throughout its history, the theater was bearing different names, first Imperial-Royal Theater next to the Castle, then to 1918 Imperial-Royal Court-Burgtheater and since then Burgtheater (Castle Theater). Especially in Vienna it is often referred to as "The Castle (Die Burg)", the ensemble members are known as Castle actors (Burgschauspieler).
History

The 'old' Burgtheater at St. Michael's Square
The original castle theater was set up in a ball house that was built in the lower pleasure gardens of the Imperial Palace of the Roman-German King and later Emperor Ferdinand I in 1540, after the old house 1525 fell victim to a fire. Until the beginning of the 18th Century was played there the Jeu de Paume, a precursor of tennis. On 14 March 1741 finally gave the Empress Maria Theresa, ruling after the death of her father, which had ordered a general suspension of the theater, the "Entrepreneur of the Royal Court Opera" and lessees of 1708 built theater at Kärntnertor (Carinthian gate), Joseph Karl Selliers, permission to change the ballroom into a theater. Simultaneously, a new ball house was built in the immediate vicinity, which todays Ballhausplatz is bearing its name.
In 1748, the newly designed "theater next to the castle" was opened. 1756 major renovations were made, inter alia, a new rear wall was built. The Auditorium of the Old Burgtheater was still a solid timber construction and took about 1200 guests. The imperial family could reach her royal box directly from the imperial quarters, the Burgtheater structurally being connected with them. At the old venue at Saint Michael's place were, inter alia, several works of Christoph Willibald Gluck, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as well as Franz Grillparzer premiered .
On 17 February 1776, Emperor Joseph II declared the theater to the German National Theatre (Teutsches Nationaltheater). It was he who ordered by decree that the stage plays should not deal with sad events for not bring the Imperial audience in a bad mood. Many theater plays for this reason had to be changed and provided with a Vienna Final (Happy End), such as Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet. From 1794 on, the theater was bearing the name K.K. Court Theatre next to the castle.
1798 the poet August von Kotzebue was appointed as head of the Burgtheater, but after discussions with the actors he left Vienna in 1799. Under German director Joseph Schreyvogel was introduced German instead of French and Italian as a new stage language.
On 12 October 1888 took place the last performance in the old house. The Burgtheater ensemble moved to the new venue at the Ring. The Old Burgtheater had to give way to the completion of Saint Michael's tract of Hofburg. The plans to this end had been drawn almost 200 years before the demolition of the old Burgtheater by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach.
The "new" K.K. Court Theatre (as the inscription reads today) at the Ring opposite the Town Hall, opened on 14 October 1888 with Grillparzer's Esther and Schiller's Wallenstein's Camp, was designed in neo-Baroque style by Gottfried Semper (plan) and Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer (facade), who had already designed the Imperial Forum in Vienna together. Construction began on 16 December 1874 and followed through 14 years, in which the architects quarreled. Already in 1876 Semper withdrew due to health problems to Rome and had Hasenauer realized his ideas alone, who in the dispute of the architects stood up for a mainly splendid designed grand lodges theater.
However, created the famous Viennese painter Gustav Klimt and his brother Ernst Klimt and Franz Matsch 1886-1888 the ceiling paintings in the two stairwells of the new theater. The three took over this task after similar commissioned work in the city theaters of Fiume and Karlovy Vary and in the Bucharest National Theatre. In the grand staircase on the side facing the café Landtmann of the Burgtheater (Archduke stairs) reproduced Gustav Klimt the artists of the ancient theater in Taormina on Sicily, in the stairwell on the "People's Garden"-side (Kaiserstiege, because it was reserved for the emperor) the London Globe Theatre and the final scene from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Above the entrance to the auditorium is Molière's The Imaginary Invalid to discover. In the background the painter immortalized himself in the company of his two colleagues. Emperor Franz Joseph I liked the ceiling paintings so much that he gave the members of the company of artists of Klimt the Golden Cross of Merit.
The new building resembles externally the Dresden Semper Opera, but even more, due to the for the two theaters absolutely atypical cross wing with the ceremonial stairs, Semper's Munich project from the years 1865/1866 for a Richard Wagner Festspielhaus above the Isar. Above the middle section there is a loggia, which is framed by two side wings, and is divided from a stage house with a gable roof and auditorium with a tent roof. Above the center house there decorates a statue of Apollo the facade, throning between the Muses of drama and tragedy. Above the main entrances are located friezes with Bacchus and Ariadne. At the exterior facade round about, portrait busts of the poets Calderon, Shakespeare, Moliere, Schiller, Goethe, Lessing, Halm, Grillparzer, and Hebbel can be seen. The masks which also can be seen here are indicating the ancient theater, furthermore adorn allegorical representations the side wings: love, hate, humility, lust, selfishness, and heroism. Although the theater since 1919 is bearing the name of Burgtheater, the old inscription KK Hofburgtheater over the main entrance still exists. Some pictures of the old gallery of portraits have been hung up in the new building and can be seen still today - but these images were originally smaller, they had to be "extended" to make them work better in high space. The points of these "supplements" are visible as fine lines on the canvas.
The Burgtheater was initially well received by Viennese people due to its magnificent appearance and technical innovations such as electric lighting, but soon criticism because of the poor acoustics was increasing. Finally, in 1897 the auditorium was rebuilt to reduce the acoustic problems. The new theater was an important meeting place of social life and soon it was situated among the "sanctuaries" of Viennese people. In November 1918, the supervision over the theater was transferred from the High Steward of the emperor to the new state of German Austria.
1922/1923 the Academy Theatre was opened as a chamber play stage of the Burgtheater. On 8th May 1925, the Burgtheater went into Austria's criminal history, as here Mentscha Karnitschewa perpetrated a revolver assassination on Todor Panitza.
The Burgtheater in time of National Socialism
The National Socialist ideas also left traces in the history of the Burgtheater. In 1939 appeared in Adolf Luser Verlag the strongly anti-Semitic characterized book of theater scientist Heinz Kindermann "The Burgtheater. Heritage and mission of a national theater", in which he, among other things, analyzed the "Jewish influence "on the Burgtheater. On 14 October 1938 was on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Burgtheater a Don Carlos production of Karl-Heinz Stroux shown that served Hitler's ideology. The role of the Marquis of Posa played the same Ewald Balser, who in a different Don Carlos production a year earlier (by Heinz Hilpert) at the Deutsches Theater in the same role with the sentence in direction of Joseph Goebbels box vociferated: "just give freedom of thought". The actor and director Lothar Müthel, who was director of the Burgtheater between 1939 and 1945, staged 1943 the Merchant of Venice, in which Werner Kraus the Jew Shylock clearly anti-Semitic represented. The same director staged after the war Lessing's parable Nathan the Wise. Adolf Hitler himself visited during the Nazi regime the Burgtheater only once (1938), and later he refused in pure fear of an assassination.
For actors and theater staff who were classified according to the Reich Citizenship Law of 1935 as "Jews ", were quickly imposed stage bans, within a few days, they were on leave, fired or arrested. The Burgtheater ensemble between 1938 and 1945 did not put up significant resistance against the Nazi ideology, the repertoire was heavily censored, only a few joined the Resistance, as Judith Holzmeister (then also at the People's Theatre engaged) or the actor Fritz Lehmann. Although Jewish members of the ensemble indeed have been helped to emigrate, was still an actor, Fritz Strassny, taken to a concentration camp and murdered there.
The Burgtheater at the end of the war and after the Second World War
In summer 1944, the Burgtheater had to be closed because of the decreed general theater suspension. From 1 April 1945, as the Red Army approached Vienna, camped a military unit in the house, a portion was used as an arsenal. In a bomb attack the house at the Ring was damaged and burned down on 12th April 1945 completely. Auditorium and stage were useless, only the steel structure remained. The ceiling paintings and part of the lobby were almost undamaged.
The Soviet occupying power expected from Viennese City Councillor Viktor Matejka to launch Vienna's cultural life as soon as possible again. The council summoned on 23 April (a state government did not yet exist) a meeting of all Viennese cultural workers into the Town Hall. Result of the discussions was that in late April 1945 eight cinemas and four theaters took up the operation again, including the Burgtheater. The house took over the Ronacher Theater, which was understood by many castle actors as "exile" as a temporary home (and remained there to 1955). This venue chose the newly appointed director Raoul Aslan, who championed particularly active.
The first performance after the Second World War was on 30 April 1945 Sappho by Franz Grillparzer directed by Adolf Rott from 1943 with Maria Eis in the title role. Also other productions from the Nazi era were resumed. With Paul Hoerbiger, a few days ago as Nazi prisoner still in mortal danger, was shown the play of Nestroy Mädl (Girlie) from the suburbs. The Academy Theatre could be played (the first performance was on 19 April 1945 Hedda Gabler, a production of Rott from the year 1941) and also in the ball room (Redoutensaal) at the Imperial Palace took place performances. Aslan the Ronacher in the summer had rebuilt because the stage was too small for classical performances. On 25 September 1945, Schiller's Maid of Orleans could be played on the enlarged stage.
The first new productions are associated with the name of Lothar Müthel: Everyone and Nathan the Wise, in both Raoul Aslan played the main role. The staging of The Merchant of Venice by Müthel in Nazi times seemed to have been fallen into oblivion.
Great pleasure gave the public the return of the in 1938 from the ensemble expelled Else Wohlgemuth on stage. She performaed after seven years in exile in December 1945 in Clare Biharys The other mother in the Academy Theater. 1951 opened the Burgtheater its doors for the first time, but only the left wing, where the celebrations on the 175th anniversary of the theater took place.
1948, a competition for the reconstruction was tendered: Josef Gielen, who was then director, first tended to support the design of ex aequo-ranked Otto Niedermoser, according to which the house was to be rebuilt into a modern gallery theater. Finally, he agreed but then for the project by Michael Engelhardt, whose plan was conservative but also cost effective. The character of the lodges theater was largely taken into account and maintained, the central royal box but has been replaced by two balconies, and with a new slanted ceiling construction in the audience was the acoustics, the shortcoming of the house, improved significantly.
On 14 October 1955 was happening under Adolf Rott the reopening of the restored house at the Ring. For this occasion Mozart's A Little Night Music was played. On 15 and on 16 October it was followed by the first performance (for reasons of space as a double premiere) in the restored theater: King Ottokar's Fortune and End of Franz Grillparzer, staged by Adolf Rott. A few months after the signing of the Austrian State Treaty was the choice of this play, which the beginning of Habsburg rule in Austria makes a subject of discussion and Ottokar of Horneck's eulogy on Austria (... it's a good country / Well worth that a prince bow to it! / where have you yet seen the same?... ) contains highly symbolic. Rott and under his successors Ernst Haeusserman and Gerhard Klingenberg the classic Burgtheater style and the Burgtheater German for German theaters were finally pointing the way .
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Burgtheater participated (with other well-known theaters in Vienna) on the so-called Brecht boycott.
Gerhard Klingenberg internationalized the Burgtheater, he invited renowned stage directors such as Dieter Dorn, Peter Hall, Luca Ronconi, Giorgio Strehler, Roberto Guicciardini and Otomar Krejča. Klingenberg also enabled the castle debuts of Claus Peymann and Thomas Bernhard (1974 world premiere of The Hunting Party). Bernhard was as a successor of Klingenberg mentioned, but eventually was appointed Achim Benning, whereupon the writer with the text "The theatrical shack on the ring (how I should become the director of the Burgtheater)" answered.
Benning, the first ensemble representative of the Burgtheater which was appointed director, continued Klingenberg's way of Europeanization by other means, brought directors such as Adolf Dresen, Manfred Wekwerth or Thomas Langhoff to Vienna, looked with performances of plays of Vaclav Havel to the then politically separated East and took the the public taste more into consideration.
Directorate Claus Peymann 1986-1999
Under the by short-term Minister of Education Helmut Zilk brought to Vienna Claus Peymann, director from 1986 to 1999, there was further modernization of the programme and staging styles. Moreover Peymann was never at a loss for critical contributions in the public, a hitherto unusual attitude for Burgtheater directors. Therefore, he and his program within sections of the audience met with rejection. The greatest theater scandal in Vienna since 1945 occurred in 1988 concerning the premiere of Thomas Bernhard's Heldenplatz (Place of the Heroes) drama which was fiercly fought by conservative politicians and zealots. The play deals with the Vergangenheitsbewältigung (process of coming to terms with the past) and illuminates the present management in Austria - with attacks on the then ruling Social Democratic Party - critically. Together with Claus Peymann Bernhard after the premiere dared to face on the stage applause and boos.
Bernard, to his home country bound in love-hate relationship, prohibited the performance of his plays in Austria before his death in 1989 by will. Peymann, to Bernhard bound in a difficult friendship (see Bernhard's play Claus Peymann buys a pair of pants and goes eating with me) feared harm for the author's work, should his plays precisely in his homeland not being shown. First, it was through permission of the executor Peter Fabjan - Bernhard's half-brother - after all, possible the already in the schedule of the Burgtheater included productions to continue. Finally, shortly before the tenth anniversary of the death of Bernard it came to the revival of the Bernhard play Before retirement by the first performance director Peymann. The plays by Bernhard are since then continued on the programme of the Burgtheater and they are regularly newly produced.
In 1993, the rehearsal stage of the Castle theater was opened in the arsenal (architect Gustav Peichl). Since 1999, the Burgtheater has the operation form of a limited corporation.
Directorate Klaus Bachler 1999-2009
Peymann was followed in 1999 by Klaus Bachler as director. He is a trained actor, but was mostly as a cultural manager (director of the Vienna Festival) active. Bachler moved the theater as a cultural event in the foreground and he engaged for this purpose directors such as Luc Bondy, Andrea Breth, Peter Zadek and Martin Kušej.
Were among the unusual "events" of the directorate Bachler
* The Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries by Hermann Nitsch with the performance of 122 Action (2005 )
* The recording of the MTV Unplugged concert with Die Toten Hosen for the music channel MTV (2005, under the title available)
* John Irving's reading from his book at the Burgtheater Until I find you (2006)
* The 431 animatographische (animatographical) Expedition by Christoph Schlingensief and a big event of him under the title of Area 7 - Matthew Sadochrist - An expedition by Christoph Schlingensief (2006).
* Daniel Hoevels cut in Schiller's Mary Stuart accidentally his throat (December 2008). Outpatient care is enough.
Jubilee Year 2005
In October 2005, the Burgtheater celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its reopening with a gala evening and the performance of Grillparzer's King Ottokar's Fortune and End, directed by Martin Kušej that had been performed in August 2005 at the Salzburg Festival as a great success. Michael Maertens (in the role of Rudolf of Habsburg) received the Nestroy Theatre Award for Best Actor for his role in this play. Actor Tobias Moretti was awarded in 2006 for this role with the Gertrude Eysoldt Ring.
Furthermore, there were on 16th October 2005 the open day on which the 82-minute film "burg/private. 82 miniatures" of Sepp Dreissinger was shown for the first time. The film contains one-minute film "Stand portraits" of Castle actors and guest actors who, without saying a word, try to present themselves with a as natural as possible facial expression. Klaus Dermutz wrote a work on the history of the Burgtheater. As a motto of this season served a quotation from Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm: "It's so sad to be happy alone."
The Burgtheater on the Mozart Year 2006
Also the Mozart Year 2006 was at the Burgtheater was remembered. As Mozart's Singspiel Die Entführung aus dem Serail in 1782 in the courtyard of Castle Theatre was premiered came in cooperation with the Vienna State Opera on the occasion of the Vienna Festival in May 2006 a new production (directed by Karin Beier) of this opera on stage.
Directorate Matthias Hartmann since 2009
From September 2009 to 2014, Matthias Hartmann was Artistic Director of the Burgtheater. A native of Osnabrück, he directed the stage houses of Bochum and Zurich. With his directors like Alvis Hermanis, Roland Schimmelpfennig, David Bösch, Stefan Bachmann, Stefan Pucher, Michael Thalheimer, came actresses like Dorte Lyssweski, Katharina Lorenz, Sarah Viktoria Frick, Mavie Hoerbiger, Lucas Gregorowicz and Martin Wuttke came permanently to the Burg. Matthias Hartmann himself staged around three premieres per season, about once a year, he staged at the major opera houses. For more internationality and "cross-over", he won the Belgian artist Jan Lauwers and his Need Company as "Artists in Residence" for the Castle, the New York group Nature Theater of Oklahoma show their great episode drama Live and Times of an annual continuation. For the new look - the Burgtheater presents itself without a solid logo with word games around the BURG - the Burgtheater in 2011 was awarded the Cultural Brand of the Year .
Since 2014, Karin Bergmann is the commander in chief.

The Wannsee Conference was a meeting of senior officials of the Nazi German regime, held in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee on 20 January 1942. The purpose of the conference was to inform administrative leaders of Departments responsible for various policies relating to Jews, that Reinhard Heydrich had been appointed as the chief executor of the "Final solution to the Jewish question". In the course of the meeting, Heydrich presented a plan, presumably approved by Adolf Hitler, for the deportation of the Jewish population of Europe and French North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) to German-occupied areas in eastern Europe, and the use of the Jews fit for labour on road-building projects, in the course of which they would eventually die according to the text of the Wannsee Protocol, the surviving remnant to be annihilated after completion of the projects.[1] Instead, as Soviet and Allied forces gradually pushed back the German lines, most of the Jews of German-occupied Europe were sent to extermination or concentration camps, or killed where they lived. As a result of the efforts of historian Joseph Wulf, the Wannsee House, where the conference was held, is now a Holocaust Memorial.
Unfortunately, there are no known images of the Mabel White. This image of an unknown schooner of similar vintage is all that is available. She operated from Queensland ports with occasional trips to Fiji. During the latter part of her life she mainly operated between ports in NSW.

LAUNCH
The launch of the Mabel White occurred at the same time as the launch of Mr. Richard Phegan’s vessel – the Berlinda. A description of the launch follows:
“FORSTER (CAPE HAWKE.) ~ August 15.
LAUNCH.-This thriving little township [Forster] presented quite a holiday appearance on Saturday [13th August 1881], owing to the number of horsemen and pedestrians who were to be seen wending their way to the ship-building establishments of either Mr. [Richard] Phegan or Mr. White, for both those well-known builders were on that day to commit to the bosom of our beautiful lake, the labours of several months. The weather was all that could be desired, so that most, it not all the fairer portion of the community graced either one or the other of the ship-yards with their presence.
Almost at the same moment that the Belinda [Berlinda] touched the water, borne along upon the breeze were the cheers announcing that Mr. White's vessel had also been successfully set floating. She is a beautiful and faithful piece of workmanship, measuring on deck 93ft, with a 22ft beam and 6ft 6in depth of hold, and is to be rigged as a topsail schooner. [Mabel White].” Australian Town and Country Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1870 - 1919) Sat 3 Sep 1881
DEATH OF THE BUILDER
Only fifteen months after the launch of the Mabel White Henry Thomas White died
“WHITE.—In loving remembrance of Henry Thomas White, late of Forster, Cape Hawke, died at Bathurst, in November 1882.”
The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Wed 15 Nov 1882
SHOAL DISCOVERED ON TRIP TO SUVA
“Captain James Simpson, of the schooner Mabel White, reports the discovery on the passage between Suva and the Richmond River, on September 4 last, of a shoal in latitude 23deg 30min S., longitude 168deg 50min E. No soundings were taken, but the shoal is described as having been plainly in sight at noon breaking about three-quarters of a mile from the ship in a W. by N. direction.” Evening News (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1931) Sat 4 Nov 1882
COLLISION WITH CRINOLINE IN TOWNSVILLE
“THE schooner Mabel White, from Townsville, while sailing up the Mary River on the 12th instant, ran into the schooner Crinoline which was then alongside the Government wharf about to take in coal. The Mabel White struck the Crinoline just abreast the fore rigging, smashing her rail and stays, besides, it is stated, displacing her foremast a little.
The Mabel White sustained little or no damage, only one or two of her jibboom-stays breaking.” The Week (Brisbane, Qld. : 1876 - 1934) Sat 26 Nov 1887
It appears that Captain Hayward was injured in this collision and later died as a result.. “
SHIPWRECK RELIEF SOCIETY.
The monthly meeting of the National Shipwreck Society of New South Wales was held yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce.
On an application from the widow of Captain Haywood [Hayward], who died from injuries received at Townsville about 18 months ago whilst master of the Mabel White, a lump sum of £5 and an allowance of 10s weekly was voted. The Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1883 - 1930) Fri 5 Jul 1889
FINAL DEMISE OF THE MABEL WHITE
A SCHOONER SUNK OFF THE RICHMOND HEADS.
Wreck of the Mabel White.
Struck on Wreckage off the Richmond— All Hands Saved.
A telegram from the pilot at Ballina this morning states that the coasting schooner Mabel White struck on some wreckage during last night when in the vicinity of Richmond Heads. She was so seriously injured that the pumps proved wholly inadequate to cope with the leak, which gained so rapidly that when the vessel was nine miles from the entrance to the Richmond she sank. The captain and crew got away in the schooner's boat, and were picked up by the tug Protector and landed safely at Ballina. The Australian Star (Sydney, NSW : 1887 - 1909) Tue 20 Mar 1894
Another newspaper reported as follows:
THE LOSS OF THE MABEL WHITE.
The Sydney schooner Mabel White, which foundered recently off the Richmond River whilst en route to Townsville with coal, was insured in the South British Insurance Company. The cargo was insured for £40 in the North Queensland Insurance Company. The crew of the vessel are returning to Sydney by the steamer Tomki.

Chethams Hospital and Library, Long Millgate, Manchester
The collegiate buildings of the church, established in 1421. After the Reformation it was bought in 1547 by the Stanley family who refounded the college, but which fell into disuse.
In 1653 the buildings were acquired by the executors of the will of Humphrey Chetham, and at his desire refounded them as a bluecoat school and library. They survive as Chetham's Music School, and one of the oldest English language libraries in the world.
Valuation of Effects of William Blackbourn died 16 Aug 1862, North Kyme, Lincolnshire. Total value £6 and 19 Shillings. The Will was probated by Thomas Blackbourn, Sole Executor, Brother, Farmer at North Kyme.
George Payton, Garrison Lane, Birmingham.
Kelly's Birmingham Directory 1867 - 1883
From the 1878 directory onwards the listing reads George Payton (exors of) - so the business seems to have continued for some years after George's death.
It seems that George Payton managed the Patent Brick & Quarry Works from 1867 until his death in 1875 following which it was managed by the executors of his estate until John Laughton Jnr. married George's widow and took over management of the works.
