Neyyattinkara

Neyyattinkara, is a significant municipal town and a prominent center for both industry and commerce, positioned at the southernmost tip of the Thiruvananthapuram metropolitan area in Trivandrum, the capital of Kerala State. It also serves as the administrative headquarters of Neyyattinkara Taluk.Nestled along the banks of the Neyyar River, one of the district's principal rivers, the town derives its name from its location, with 'Neyyatinkara' in Malayalam translating to 'the shore of the river Neyyar.' Neyyattinkara ranks as the second most densely populated municipality in the district, following Varkala. Notably, the Vizhinjam International Seaport Thiruvananthapuram is situated within Neyyattinkara Taluk."In the Vizhinjam International Seaport Thiruvananthapuram, the port international code IN NYY 1, the "NYY" represents Neyyattinkara

Etymology
The town derives its name from its location, with 'Neyyatinkara' in Malayalam translating to 'the banks of the river Neyyar.'

Administration
The town comes under the purview of Neyyattinkara Municipality. It also comes under the Neyyatinkara Assembly Constituency which inturn comes under the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha Constituency. The town is mostly residential, with many government and service sector establishments. The standard and generally accepted abbreviations of Neyyattinkara are NTA (used by general public) or NYY (used by Indian railway) and NTKA used by Kerala State Electricity Board.IN NYY 1 used by Vizhinjam International Seaport Thiruvananthapuram.

History
Cave pictures, probably by Neolithic people, are found in Pandavanpara, located in the North east side of Neyyattinkara towards Karakonam route. This famous cave will come under Perumkadavila panchayath. The name of this portion of land, before Marthanda Varma became the ruler of Travancore, was 'Thenganad'.

Geography
Neyyattinkara is located at 8.4°N, 77.08°W. It has an average elevation of 26 metres (85 feet). The town is situated on the Neyyar River side, one of the principal rivers in Trivandrum district. The river flows to the south part of the town. Water Supply for the town and the adjacent places is obtained from this river. Topography of the town is rather uneven, with higher areas in the downtown. Nearby the town is the hillock Aruvippuram. The Western Ghats form a scenic backdrop to the town. The town is sandwiched between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. The nearby sea shore is just 10 km. away in west, and seven kilometres to the east can take you to the mammoth hillocks of Western ghats. The geology is said to be typical of the Kerala soil - the Laterite and red soil. The town can still boast of a good green cover in residential and non-residential areas.

Veerasmrithi (War Memorial-Neyyattinkara)
A depiction on the Veera Smrithi states "From this village 174 men went to the great war 1914 to 1919". It is located near Village Office, Neyyattinkara.

Religious centres
The Neyyattinkara Sree Krishna Swamy Temple is situated in the centre of the town and is an important pilgrimage centre. The annual festival is an important attraction for people in the district.

Besides the religious significance, the temple holds a special place in Travancore history. Legend has it that the then Crown Prince Marthanda Marthanda Varma was redirected by Anandapadmanabhan Thambi dressed up as mad chaannaan (everyone believed that he was dead; as spread by enemies) to a Jackfruit tree near the temple while he was being chased by his enemies. The prince hid within the tree cavity and escaped almost certain death. He was convinced the chaannan was none other than Lord Sri Krishna himself. Gratefully, he named the tree as Ammachi Plavu (Mother Tree) and placed it under royal protection.

Aruvippuram (7 km from Neyyattinkara town), the holy land of Sree Narayana Guru is an important pilgrim centre.

William Vaughn Moody

William Vaughn Moody (July 8, 1869 – October 17, 1910) was an American dramatist and poet. Moody was author of The Great Divide, first presented under the title of The Sabine Woman at the Garrick Theatre in Chicago on April 12, 1906, and then on Broadway at the Princess Theatre, running for 238 performances from October 3, 1906, to March 24, 1907. His poetic dramas are The Masque of Judgment (1900), The Fire Bringer (1904), and The Death of Eve (left undone at his death). His best-known poem is "An Ode in Time of Hesitation," on the Spanish-American War; others include "Gloucester Moor," "On a Soldier Fallen in the Philippines," "The Brute," "Harmonics" (his only sonnet), "Until the Troubling of the Waters," "The Departure," "How the Mead-Slave Was Set Free," "The Daguerreotype," and "The Death of Eve." His poems everywhere bespeak the social conscience of the progressive era (1893–1916) in which he spent his foreshortened life. In style they evoke a mastery of the verse-craft of his time and also the reach and depth derived from his intensive studies of Milton and of Greek tragedy.

Biography
Born at Spencer, Indiana, his parents died while he was a boy, and he had to work to help support himself while he completed his education. After attending New Albany High School he went on to Harvard University, where he was awarded the George B. Sohier Prize for literature and earned an A.B. in 1893 and an A.M. in 1894.

He taught English at Harvard and Radcliffe until 1895, when he became first an instructor at the University of Chicago and then, from 1901 to 1907, assistant professor of English and rhetoric there. He received the degree of Litt.D. from Yale in 1908, and was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Among his close friends were the historian Ferdinand Schevill, the editor Norman Hapgood, the author, academic, activist and diplomat Robert Morss Lovett, and the poet Trumbull Stickney. After a time he resigned his teaching post at the University of Chicago, commenting (as his friend John Matthews Manly quotes him in the introduction to the posthumous collection of his works), "I cannot do it; I feel that at every lecture I slay a poet."

Moody died from brain cancer at Colorado Springs at the age of 41.

Works
His complete works, including The Death of Eve, a fragment of the third member of the proposed trilogy mentioned above, were edited with an introduction by John M. Manly (1912).
 * The Complete Poetical Works of John Milton (editor; 1899, Cambridge)
 * The Masque of Judgment (1900)
 * Poems (1901)
 * The Fire-Bringer (1904), intended as the first member of a trilogy on the Promethean theme, of which The Masque of Judgment, already published, was the second member)
 * The Great Divide (1906), prose drama, especially successful on the stage.
 * The Faith Healer (1909), prose drama, very successful on the stage
 * A First View of English and American Literature (compiler with Robert M. Lovett; 1902)
 * The Poems of Trumbull Stickney (editor with George Cabot Lodge and John Ellerton Lodge; 1905)

I don't see any oxygen in the structure diagram. Am I missing something? The image is

which is identical to

Hmmm... I clicked on Reload and it appeared...

Duplicate page
I notice that there is another (and IMHO much inferior) page on this compound at epoxyethane. I would like to turn that page into a simple redirect to this page. Any comments? Walkerma 06:10, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

IUPAC name
The article states that the IUPAC name of ethylene oxide is "1,2-epoxyethane". I don't think the numbers are needed in this case, since there is no ambiguity in the name "epoxyethane", and according to the naming guidelines, position numbers should not be used when not necessary. 193.217.163.93 14:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Structure of ethylene oxide: history
The article states: "The heterocyclic triangular structure of ethylene oxide was not proposed until 1893." However, I suspect that the triangular structure of ethylene oxide was proposed (and in use in the literature) earlier than 1893.

In the journal Nature (April 6, 1893, vol. 47, p. 551), a report states: "The author then proceeds to discuss the orthodox formulae for trimethylene [i.e., cyclopropane], ethylene oxide, and diazoimide [i.e., hydrazoic acid] …". There follows an illustration showing the hypothetical triangular structure of each substance. "The author" (W. H. Perkin) calls these structures "orthodox", which suggests that they've been used widely for some time; i.e., prior to 1893. Ethylene oxide was depicted as having a triangular molecular structure in: Cwkmail (talk) 18:36, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Cleansing of typography
A followup of user talk: Materialscientist.

I think either “⋯” or “ · · · ” will be possible replacements for a moronic “•••”. Though, “•” for a free radical (i.e. an unpaired electron) is nice, isn’t it? Or, possibly, it should be superscripted, such as in •OH? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:42, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Thermodynamic values
I received the following message from "DVWynn", who noted a difference between 2 sources for the compound's heat of formation--

In The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Small Ring Heterocycles edited by Alfred Hassner, page 7-8, the heat of formation [of etylene oxide] is given as 117.2 kJ/mol, [which is] derived from heat of combustion 114.4 kJ/mol, and importantly, the ring-strain is quoted as 54.4 kJ/mol. These are at odds with the values on the page by a HUGE amount. [The ethylene oxide page lists the compound's heat of formation as: Std enthalpy of formation ΔfHo298 = −52.6 kJ mol−1 .] I presume 'angular stress' means ring-strain but maybe my terminology is out of date? Since its main use is in thermobaric weapons, I presume that it packs a lot of energy in a small (by spacial volume) 'package'. Note that heptanitrocubane is preferred over octanitrocubane because its concentration of energy (due to crystal structure) is higher.

Cwkmail (talk) 16:54, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

I did some very quick checking and confirmed that Hassner's book The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds … does indeed list the heat of formation of ethylene oxide as 117.2 kJ/ mol. (See: Heterocyclic Compounds ... by A. Hassner ) However, a couple of other sources may explain the difference in the figures for the compound's heat of formation. The Wikipedia article lists the heat of formation for the compound in its GAS state, whereas the heat of formation is higher for the compound in its LIQUID state. Hassner may have listed the heat of formation for the compound in its LIQUID state.

For example, on page 12 of this pdf file -- American Chemistry.com -- the heat of formation of the GASEOUS form is listed as -1,194.8 kJ/kg = -52.6 kJ/mol ; however, the heat of formation of the LIQUID form is listed as -1,766.5 kJ/kg = -77.8 kJ/mol. The National Institute of Standards and Technology lists the compound's heat of formation in the GASEOUS state as -52.6 kJ/mol However, in the "Comment" section, the heat of formation in the LIQUID state is listed as -95.7 kJ/mol

So it seems likely that the difference in the heats of formation are the result of using different states (liquid vs. gas) as references for the measurements. However, in order to confirm this, it would be necessary to view Hassner's sources (which he does list). Cwkmail (talk) 17:53, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Units of concentration and temperature
Units are all over the place. Sometimes degrees Celsius is converted in parens to Fahrenheit, sometimes not. As far as I can tell and just checking mentally, the conversions have been made accurately but I have not checked them all. I don't see the need for these conversions because the only common use for Fahrenheit is ambient temperature and cooking temperature in the countries which have not adopted Celsius, and they disrupt the flow of the piece. Concentration of EtO in air from the point of view of toxicity are given in ppm, mL/m3, imp fl oz/cu ft (!! yes really), mg/m3, gr/cu ft (note here gr = grains not grams - again it appears that the conversion to gr/cu ft has been done accurately but come on - do we really want grains in WP articles?). I propose that we use the reference's units - which of course vary - and convert all these to either ppm or mg/m3 a common lingua franca unit as necessary. This will be a lot of work and I do actually know what I am doing, but I am worried that it would be seen by some as OR: and extensive work to clarify the article to make it more useful would be reverted. Any thoughts? Cross Reference (talk) 01:12, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Hubertus van Mook

Hubertus Johannes "Huib" van Mook (30 May 1894 – 10 May 1965) was a Dutch administrator in the East Indies. During the Indonesian National Revolution, he served as the Acting Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1942 to 1948. Van Mook also had a son named Cornelius van Mook who studied marine engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also wrote about Java - and his work on Kota Gede is a good example of a colonial bureaucrat capable of examining and writing about local folklore.

Biography
Hubertus van Mook was born in Semarang in Central Java on 30 May 1894. As with many Dutch and Indos (people of European and Indonesian heritage) growing up in the East Indies, he came to regard the colony, particularly Java, as his home. He studied Indology at Leiden University, and then returned to the Dutch East Indies. In 1931, he became a member of the Volksraad, the advisory body set up by the colonial administration. There he spoke in favour of greater autonomy for the Dutch East Indies and for equal treatment for different races. From 1937 to 1941 he was director of economic affairs. On 29 December 1941, a royal decree named van Mook the successor to Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies Alidius Tjarda van Starkenborgh Stachouwer, and appointed him Lieutenant Governor General. Immediately prior to the surrender of the East Indies to the Japanese on 8 March 1942, the Dutch East Indies government in exile near Brisbane, Australia gave van Mook authority over those areas still unoccupied by the Japanese. However, two weeks later, he was relieved of his lieutenant-governorship and became Minister of Colonies. On 14 September 1944, after he persuaded the Dutch government in exile to establish a provisional East Indies government, he was reappointed Lieutenant Governor-General. Due to his liberal inclinations and sympathies towards Indonesian nationalism, many conservative Dutch distrusted his policies and he was never given the full title of Governor-General. Because of the weakened position of the Dutch due to the Nazi invasion and occupation, much of the task of retaking the East Indies following the Japanese surrender in August 1945 was carried out by Australian and British forces. While Australian forces succeeded in occupying the Outer Islands with minimal resistance, British forces in Java and Sumatra were challenged by a nascent Indonesian Republic led by Sukarno and Hatta.

On 1 October 1945 Van Mook arrived back in Java along with elements of the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration. However, their presence generated much outrage from much of the Indonesian populace who were opposed to the restoration of Dutch colonial rule. With Dutch support being limited to Christian areas like Ambon and Manado, which were at that time (not before WWII) the chief sources of recruitment for the Royal Dutch East Indies Army., even though the majority of Royal Dutch East Indies Army soldiers had always been Javanese Muslims, the largest ethnic group in the colony. Republican forces had taken control of Manado by February 1946, before being subdued by allied forces, and many Christian Manado and Ambonesse supported the Republic, including chief representative for the UN, Lambertus Nicodemus Palar, Leimena, Alexander Andries Maramis. On the other hand, many leading Dutch supporters were from Muslim areas, including Sultan Hamid II, Andi Azis, R. Abdulkadir Wijoyoatmojo (later chief Dutch negotiator in the talks leading to the Renville Agreement). While van Mook planned to grant independence to Indonesia, he advocated a federal Republic of the United States of Indonesia with strong political and economic ties to the Netherlands. He regarded Sukarno's Republic as economically inept and unable to ward off the Indonesian Chinese, Indonesian Indians and the rising Indonesian Communist Party, and began cultivating links with Indonesian leaders outside Java, particularly in west Java and eastern Indonesia. He organised a number of conferences aimed at offsetting the influence of the Republic.

The above factors and violations of the Linggadjati Agreement prompted the East Indies government to launch a police action in mid-1947, which was known as Operatie Product. The KNIL and Royal Netherlands Army occupied large areas of Java and Sumatra, with the Republican army offering only weak resistance. However, the Dutch were held back from full conquest of the Republic by pressure from the UN Security Council and the United States, which called for a ceasefire. This led to the announcement of a ceasefire in January 1948 followed by a formal armistice. As a consequence, a conflict previously considered to be an internal Dutch affair now took on an international dimension.

The Renville Agreement, as the armistice was called, stipulated the withdrawal of Indonesian forces from Dutch-occupied territory and the establishment of a ceasefire boundary known as the Van Mook Line. Because of problems caused by the differing interests of regional leaders and opposition from elements of the Dutch military and government, in 1948 Van Mook resigned. Meanwhile, some time after the ceasefire, the Indonesian military secretly returned and began guerrilla operations against the Dutch. This led to a second major Dutch police action known as Operatie Kraai in December 1948.

Van Mook subsequently broke links with both Indonesia and his home country, and took a job with the United Nations. However, not long after this, he died in France.

Varkala

Varkala is a major coastal municipality situated in the northern suburb of Thiruvananthapuram, capital city of the Indian state Kerala.

In legends and myths related to Kerala, texts like the Kerala Mahatmyam describe the Varkala region as one of the sacred places of Kerala.

Varkala is the only region in southern Kerala where cliffs are found adjacent to the Arabian Sea. These Cenozoic sedimentary formation cliffs are a unique geological feature on the otherwise flat Kerala coast, and are known among geologists as Varkala Formation. The cliffs have been declared a national geological monument by the Geological Survey of India for their protection, maintenance, promotion, and the enhancement of geotourism. There are numerous water spouts and spas on the sides of these cliffs. In 2015, the Ministry of Mines, the Government of India, and the Geological Survey of India (GSI) declared Varkala Cliffs a geo-heritage site.

Varkala is also known for the 2,000-year-old Janardana Swami Temple, which is an important Vaishnavaite shrine in India and is often referred to as Dakshin Kashi (Benares of the South). The temple is located close to Papanasam beach, which is an Ayurveda treatment centre. The temple has an ancient bell removed from a shipwreck, donated by the captain of the Dutch vessel which sank near Varkala without causing any casualties.

Another major landmark in Varkala is the Sivagiri Mutt, established by the social reformer Sree Narayana Guru.

Legends
It is believed that a Pandyan King was instructed by Lord Brahma to build a temple at this very place to redeem him of his sins. Several other myths abound on the birth of Varkala. Another legend states that when a group of pilgrims approached Sage Narada and told him that they had sinned, Narada threw his (a loin cloth made from the bark of a tree) and it landed at this scenic village and hence, the place came to be known as Varkala. Narada told the pilgrims to pray for their redemption at Papanasam, which literally means redemption from sins.

Talk:Yazid I

The Absolute lack of Islamic Scholars in the page, leaves untold amount of questions here.
I understand the bias of anti-ummayad scholars in Islam and bias against the Yazid I's legacy, but it will be much wiser to add a separate heading of scholars, aka Anti-Ummayyad, who describe his account different. It will be better than absolutely silenting the whole segment. Alongside, the Legacy portion needs cleanup. Also there is a lack of accounts from any Islamic or Muslim scholars of the time in the legacy section. Mr Joji0 (talk) 04:58, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * We do have a section on that and It is not based on the views of man on the street but on the views of Muslim scholars and historians (Ghazali, Khomayni, Ibn al-Jawizi, Baladhuri, Ibn Asakir. So there is no "Absolute lack of Islamic Scholars in the page" nor does the article "leave untold amount of questions here". AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 14:26, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Inaccurate Information, Please Review and Adjust Using Proper Sources
This page has minimized the tragedy that was the Battle of Karbala and seems to dissociate Yazid I from the crimes he had committed. For example, the current page says that Husayn's fanily who were taken "captive" were freed "a few days later". This is blatantly incorrect and insulting to the tribulations and horrors they had to face. In reality, the family (Mostly women, children, and Husayn's eldest son Ali) were dragged in chains behind horses and camels on foot to Kufa, where they were paraded in the streets as "khawarij", then brought to the court of Ibn Ziyad. They were then forcefully pushed forward even further to Damascus, where they were imprisoned and had to witness Yazid beating the severed head of Husain with a stick as he boasted about how he had finally won, while insulting the family of the Prophet and Islam as a whole. So no, they were not "freed after a few days", they were held captive and tortured, beaten, pelted with stones, ogled, and even killed for TWO YEARS prior to being freed as the people began to waken and realize what Yazid had done. This is an example of just one inaccuracy in this page. So please, instead of saying that you have "used works from renowned islamic scholars", make use of true historic accounts of Karbala, and Yazid I. Some notable works I recommend referencing are Maqtal-al-Husayn, as well as the literal thousands of articals on Al-Islam.org. I would avoid the usage of Sunni or foreign sources for anything relating to Yazid and Karbala - the Shia have documented this much more extensively and reliably, as the mourning of Al-Husayn and his family is an integral part of their faith and culture. Please fix your errors and use actual, reliable sources. Thank you. 2607:FEA8:5BA1:4800:C15F:4F89:7F1C:5BD7 (talk) 07:03, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I completely agree with this comment. The family of Imam Hussain was treated in the most inhumane manner, as outlined above. I would request the wikipedia team to refer to the book "Maqtal al-Husayn" which is a historical narrative that describes the events of the Battle of Karbala and the aftermath. It provides insights into the treatment of prisoners, particularly the surviving members of Imam Hussein's family, who were taken captive after the battle. This source is significant for understanding the events from a Shia Muslim perspective. I am not really a wikipedian as may not be the best at writing on such an important topic and hence bringing it to notice to the wikipedia team. 110.226.179.41 (talk) 08:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 September 2023
It is more historically accurate to have the fact that Husayn was murdered than that he just died 82.197.209.4 (talk) 23:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Lightoil (talk) 05:29, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The cause of death was not considered old age or accidental—correct? The line ended as Muhammad and the Koran foretold the son of Yahweh has come can and does answer prayers to Yahweh Christ Jew doesn’t guarantee the result or answer you want but the Jew God is One we are Jews Muhammad married a Christian Wife he was a Jew, his wife a Jew, we are Jews male & female splitting blessings and dividing the Devines intent to Creat Love & Be loved, Amen. 64.235.83.227 (talk) 06:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

H. Lammens's source is very outdated
I had a friend who told me the sources by H. Lammens are outdated. Specifically on the Islamic Jurisprudences opinion on cursing Yazid; like saying Hanbalis oppose cursing him, even though the founder himself cursed him in a fatwa he wrote, calling out his war crimes, and even popular Shafi jurists curse Yazid too. 39.60.214.46 (talk) 11:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Edward Aloysius Mooney

Edward Aloysius Mooney (May 9, 1882 – October 25, 1958) was an American cardinal of the Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Detroit from 1937 until his death, and was made a cardinal in 1946.

Early life and ministry
Edward Mooney was born in Mount Savage, Maryland, as the seventh child of Thomas and Sarah (née Heneghan) Mooney. At age 5, he moved with his family to Youngstown, Ohio, where his father worked at a tube mill. Following his father's death in the 1890s, his mother opened a small bakery to support the family, with Edward and his siblings delivering the baked goods to her customers. He attended St. Charles College in Ellicott City and St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore before being sent to Rome in 1905 to study at the Pontifical North American College. He was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Pietro Respighi on April 10, 1909.

Upon his return to the United States, Mooney taught dogmatic theology at St. Mary's Seminary in Cleveland until 1916. He was the founding principal of the Cathedral Latin School in Cleveland from 1916 to 1922, and pastor of St. Patrick's Church in Youngstown from 1922 to 1923. Returning to Rome, he then became spiritual director of the North American College in 1923. Albert Meyer, a student at the North American College and future cardinal, once said, "[Mooney] was revered and greatly beloved ... he left an indelible mark on all the students, inspiring them with his great learning and his solid spiritual guidance." He was raised to the rank of domestic prelate of his holiness on June 3, 1925.

Apostolic delegate
On January 21, 1926, after having made a favorable impression on Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, Mooney was appointed Apostolic Delegate to India and Titular Archbishop of Irenopolis in Isauria by Pope Pius XI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following January 31 from Cardinal Willem van Rossum, CSSR, with Archbishop Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani and Bishop Giulio Serafini serving as co-consecrators. During his tenure in Bangalore, fifteen missions and three dioceses were created and the Syro-Malankara Church was reconciled with the Holy See.

Mooney was later named Apostolic Delegate to Japan on March 30, 1931. At the time of his arrival, all Japanese were required to visit and pay homage at Shinto shrines, with Catholics objecting to participation in Shinto worship. Mooney led a successful effort for the Japanese government to declare that visits to the shrines were only of a patriotic nature and not a religious one. He later presided over a plenary council of the Korean bishops.

Bishop of Rochester
Being recalled from Tokyo to the United States, he was appointed the fourth Bishop of Rochester, with the personal title of "archbishop", on August 28, 1933. Mooney was elected chairman of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, the predecessor of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, shortly afterwards in 1935; he maintained that post until 1945. During his tenure in Rochester, he promoted Catholic Action and the Knights of Peter Claver as a means of outreach to the African American community, and took deep interest in Catholic social teaching and labor relations. He would also play golf in high temperatures (once saying, "If your score is over 100, you are neglecting your golf—if it falls below 90, you're neglecting your parish") and take a group of altar boys every year to the opening game of the baseball season.

Archbishop of Detroit
Mooney was named the first Archbishop of Detroit, Michigan, on May 31, 1937. Upon arriving in Detroit, he was greeted by Governor Frank Murphy and a representative of Mayor Frank Couzens. An advocate for labor unions, he once proposed establishing parish labor schools in order to help "Christian workers to train themselves in principle and technique to assume the leadership in the unions which their numbers justify".

From the very beginning of his tenure in Detroit, Mooney became engaged in a contentious relationship with Fr. Charles Coughlin, whose controversial radio broadcasts had angered many in the Catholic hierarchy and American public. In October 1937, he rebuked Coughlin for casting aspersions on President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's sanity over his nomination of Hugo Black to the Supreme Court, leading Coughlin to cancel his contract for twenty-six radio broadcasts. After the priest agreed to end his program in 1942, Mooney responded, "My understanding with him is sufficiently broad and firm to exclude effectively the recurrence of any such unpleasant situation."

As the population of Detroit grew into the northern suburbs of Detroit, Mooney added churches in the remote areas of Oakland County. He appointed Father Frederick Delaney to begin opening additional parishes in the rural areas of the county.

During World War II, Mooney was staunchly opposed to Nazi Germany, once stating before a group of North and South American prelates, "A victory in this war for the forces of Nazi-inspired aggression would drive Christians underground for generations in the conquered countries." Pope Pius XII created him Cardinal Priest of Santa Susanna in the consistory of February 18, 1946.

In 1957, Mooney delivered the benediction at the second inauguration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The cardinal died in Rome, at age 76, after suffering from a heart attack and collapsing less than three hours before the beginning of the 1958 papal conclave. Cardinals Francis Spellman and James McIntyre granted him absolution before departing for the conclave. Mooney was initially buried in the crypt of St. John's Provincial Seminary in Plymouth, but his remains were later transferred in 1988 to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield.

Legacy
Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown, Ohio, is named after him. It is not far from where he spent his childhood. A former Cardinal Mooney High School in Greece, New York, a suburb of Rochester, closed in 1989. Other current Cardinal Mooney High Schools exist in Marine City, Michigan, and Sarasota, Florida.

Thomas Mooney

Thomas Joseph Mooney (December 8, 1882 – March 6, 1942) was an American political activist and labor leader, who was convicted with Warren K. Billings of the San Francisco Preparedness Day Bombing of 1916. It quickly became apparent that Mooney and Billings had been convicted based on falsified evidence and perjured testimony; and the Mooney case and campaigns to free him became an international cause célèbre for two decades, with a substantial number of publications demonstrating the falsity of the conviction. These publications and the facts of the case are surveyed in Richard H. Frost, The Mooney Case (Stanford University Press, 1968). Mooney served 22 years in prison before finally being pardoned in 1939.

Early life
The son of Irish immigrants, Mooney was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 8, 1882. His father, Bernard, had been a coal miner and a militant organizer for the Knights of Labor in struggles so intense that after one fight he was left for dead. Bernard Mooney died of "miner's con" (now known as silicosis) at the age of 36, when Tom, the eldest of three surviving children, was ten years old. Tom's sister Anna told neighbors that the family had originated in Holyoke, Massachusetts, not Chicago.

Thomas held many jobs as an industrial worker before developing a career as a labor leader and socialist activist. As a young man, Mooney toured Europe, where he learned about socialism. After arriving in California, he met his wife Rena, and found a place in the Socialist Party of America and the presidential campaign of Eugene V. Debs. In 1910, Mooney won a trip to the Second International Conference in Copenhagen by selling a huge number of subscriptions to the socialist Wilshire Magazine. On his way home, he visited the British Trades Union Congress in Sheffield, England.

Preparedness Day Bombing
Ten deaths and forty injuries resulted from the explosion in the midst of the Preparedness Day parade. The bombing took place at the height of anarchist violence in the United States, especially the Galleanist anarcho-communist movement of Luigi Galleani.

Trial
Mooney and Billings were convicted in separate trials and Mooney was sentenced to be hanged and Billings got a life sentence. Rena Mooney and Weinberg were acquitted.

In prison
In 1918, Mooney's sentence was changed to life imprisonment, the same as Billings. Mooney quickly became one of the most famous political prisoners in America. A worldwide campaign to free Tom Mooney followed. During that time his wife Rena, Bulletin editor Fremont Older, anarchists Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, Lucy Robins Lang, heiress Aline Barnsdall, Hollywood celebrities, international politicians, and many other well-known people campaigned for his release. Caroline Decker, a labor activist who later became active in California agricultural unionism, first went to California as part of a "Free Tom Mooney" delegation. While imprisoned, Mooney corresponded with fellow union leader Ned Cobb of the Alabama Sharecroppers' Union.

During his time at San Quentin, Mooney was a highly dependable orderly in the prison hospital. Dorothea Lange went to the prison to photograph him, and one of the photographs she took was used in a poster published by the Tom Mooney Defense Committee.

In 1931, New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker made a solidarity visit to Tom's sister Anna's house in San Francisco's Mission District.

Release and later years
Mooney filed a writ of habeas corpus which was heard by the United States Supreme Court in 1937. Even though he presented evidence that his conviction was obtained through the use of perjured testimony and that the prosecution had suppressed favorable evidence, his writ was denied because he had not first filed a writ in state court. Nevertheless, his case is important because it helped establish that a conviction based upon false evidence violates due process. Mooney was pardoned in 1939 by liberal Democratic Governor Culbert Olson.

He was old from years in prison, sick with ulcers and jaundice. He had not worn his martyrdom well; he broke with modest Billings, who was convicted with him but somehow was never regarded as a martyr; he was estranged from his wife; his former colleagues in the labor movement often found him to be selfish and conceited.

Mooney then campaigned for Billings's release although the two men had become estranged. He traveled around the country making speeches. He drew a full house at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Billings was released in 1939 and pardoned in 1961.

Death and legacy
After attempting a lecture tour, Mooney collapsed from illness. The California Federation of Labor turned down a resolution to pay his bills, as his politics were deemed too radical. While dying in a San Francisco hospital, Mooney, at 59, had only a few visitors, and only a few letters from friends. From his bed he helped advance a campaign to free Communist Earl Browder as Chairman of the "Citizens' Committee to Free Earl Browder."

Mooney died at Saint Luke's Hospital in San Francisco on March 6, 1942. A large funeral celebration was held at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium. He is interred at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, California.

Carel de Moor

Carel de Moor (25 February 1655 – 16 February 1738) was a Dutch Golden Age etcher and painter. He was a pupil of Gerard Dou.

Biography
Carel de Moor was born in Leiden. According to Houbraken, his father was an art dealer who wanted him to study languages and only allowed him to study art when his talent for drawing surfaced at a young age. Houbraken met him in person at the atelier of Godfried Schalcken when he was completing his education there. According to the RKD he was the son of a Leiden painter of the same name and a pupil of Dou, Frans van Mieris, Godfried Schalcken, and Abraham van den Tempel. He became a member of the Leiden Guild of St. Luke in 1683, and became deacon many times over in the years 1688–1711. His own pupils later were Pieter Lyonet, Andrei Matveev, his own son Carel Isaak de Moor, Arent Pijl, Arnout Rentinck, Nicolaas Six and Mattheus Verheyden. He died in Leiden or Warmond.

Addison Webster Moore

Addison Webster Moore (30 July 1866 – 25 August 1930) was a U.S. pragmatist philosopher. He was president of the Western Philosophical Association in 1911 and president of the American Philosophical Association in 1917.

He was born in Plainfield, Indiana, United States. He studied at DePauw University, earning an A.B. in 1890 and an A.M. in 1893. He then studied at Cornell (1893–94) and took his Ph.D. in 1898 at the University of Chicago, attracted by John Dewey's arrival there. When Dewey went to Columbia University in 1904, Moore took over the Metaphysics and Logic courses at Chicago, and became professor of philosophy in 1909.

Moore was a supporter of Dewey's instrumentalist version of pragmatism. In 1910, he published Pragmatism and Its Critics, consisting of one chapter explaining pragmatism and four chapters addressing criticisms directed towards this doctrine.

Alexander Moore (politician)

Alexander A. Moore (October 1, 1874 – March 29, 1952) was a farmer and a provincial level politician from Alberta, Canada. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in a by-election on November 3, 1919, and served until 1926.

Political career
Moore ran for a seat in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in a provincial by-election held in the Cochrane electoral district on November 3, 1919. The by-election was called due to the death of speaker Charles Fisher. He defeated E.V. Thompson a candidate of the governing Liberals in a tough race.

The Liberals attempted to win the by-election by having every member of the Cabinet and many back benches in the Liberal caucus campaign in the district. Moore was selected at a nomination meeting held on July 16, 1919, and campaigned in the district well before the writ was dropped.

With Moore winning the by-election, he became the first member elected under the United Farmers banner, joining two farmer-friendly Non-Partisan League MLAs already in the legislature.

Moore was re-elected in the 1921 Alberta general election.

He served until 1926 before retiring.

Entropy of fusion

In thermodynamics, the entropy of fusion is the increase in entropy when melting a solid substance. This is almost always positive since the degree of disorder increases in the transition from an organized crystalline solid to the disorganized structure of a liquid; the only known exception is helium. It is denoted as $$\Delta S_{\text{fus}}$$ and normally expressed in joules per mole-kelvin, J/(mol·K).

A natural process such as a phase transition will occur when the associated change in the Gibbs free energy is negative.
 * $$\Delta G_{\text{fus}} = \Delta H_{\text{fus}} - T \times \Delta S_{\text{fus}} < 0,$$

where $\Delta H_\text{fus}$ is the enthalpy of fusion. Since this is a thermodynamic equation, the symbol $T$ refers to the absolute thermodynamic temperature, measured in kelvins (K). Equilibrium occurs when the temperature is equal to the melting point $$T = T_f$$ so that
 * $$\Delta G_{\text{fus}} = \Delta H_{\text{fus}} - T_f \times \Delta S_{\text{fus}} = 0,$$

and the entropy of fusion is the heat of fusion divided by the melting point:
 * $$\Delta S_{\text{fus}} = \frac {\Delta H_{\text{fus}}} {T_f}$$

Helium
Helium-3 has a negative entropy of fusion at temperatures below 0.3 K. Helium-4 also has a very slightly negative entropy of fusion below 0.8 K. This means that, at appropriate constant pressures, these substances freeze with the addition of heat.

Benjamin Moore (bishop)

Benjamin Moore (October 5, 1748 – February 27, 1816) was the second Episcopal bishop of New York and the fifth President of Columbia University. He is remembered for having given Holy Communion to Alexander Hamilton on his deathbed, and for being the father of Clement Clarke Moore, the reputed author of the 1823 Christmas poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas."

Early life
Moore was born in Newtown, New York, now known as Elmhurst, Queens, in 1748, the son of Samuel Moore and Sarah (née Fish) Moore. He was the great-great-grandson of John Moore, the first Independent minister allowed in New England, and great-grandson of Capt. Samuel Moore, on whose property the Newtown Pippin apple was first cultivated.

He attended King's College (now Columbia University), graduating in 1768 with a degree of A.B. Moore received a master's degree from King's College in 1771, alongside Founding Father Gouverneur Morris. He traveled to England and was ordained deacon in the Anglican Church by Bishop Richard Terrick in Fulham Palace on June 24, 1774. He was advanced to the priesthood the next day.

Career
Not long after returning to America, in 1775, Moore was made assistant rector at Trinity Church, New York City's original Anglican church, located then as now on Broadway at the western end of Wall Street. He was also named president pro tempore of Kings College and served until the arrival of the Continental Army in the city in April 1776 caused the college to close and disperse.

Trinity rector Charles Inglis was an outspoken Tory who welcomed the subsequent British occupation of New York. Moore continued to work at his side but stayed publicly neutral on the political questions surrounding the American Revolutionary War. After the British defeat Inglis left for England, and Moore was elected Trinity's rector in 1783. Returning Patriot church members, among them Declaration of Independence co-author Robert R. Livingston and soon-to-be New York Mayor James Duane, objected to the choice, and in early 1784 Moore agreed to step aside in favor of Samuel Provoost, the only Anglican priest in New York who had openly supported the Revolution.

The Episcopal Church of the United States of America (ECUSA) became independent of the Anglican Church after the war, establishing its own organization of dioceses, and Provoost was elected the first bishop of New York in 1786, a position he held concurrently with the Trinity rectorship. Moore continued in his duties as assistant rector until 1800, when Provoost resigned and Moore was elected rector.

Concurrently with his church work Moore served from 1784 to 1787 as professor of rhetoric and logic at Columbia College, which in 1789 awarded him the degree of doctor of sacred theology.

Bishop of New York
Moore was elected coadjutor bishop of New York in 1801 to assist Provoost, who wished to retire. The diocese of New York covered the entire state and the population was rapidly increasing upstate, with many migrants from New England. This area had been opened up for settlement and development as agricultural lands after the war due to the cession by the Iroquois League, allies of the British, of nearly five million acres of land.

Moore was the 9th bishop in the ECUSA, and was consecrated in St. Michael's Church, Trenton, New Jersey by Bishops William White, Thomas John Claggett, and Abraham Jarvis. That same year, Moore was elected President of Columbia College, as the compromise choice of a board of trustees deadlocked between Episcopal and non-Episcopal members. A contemporary explained the choice thusly: "While he was a true, consistent, and I may add, an uncompromising Episcopalian, he was neither an aggressive or prescribing one." Because of his church responsibilities he neither taught nor was involved in the details of administration.

In 1811, Moore had a stroke. He resigned as Columbia's president, and asked for the election of an additional coadjutor bishop to assist him. John Henry Hobart was elected to the post that year. In 1815, Bishop Provoost died, and Moore succeeded him to become the second full bishop of New York.

Last communion for Hamilton
On July 11, 1804, Moore was summoned to the deathbed of Alexander Hamilton, who had been fatally wounded in a duel with Aaron Burr; Hamilton asked to receive holy communion. Moore made two objections: that to participate in a duel was a mortal sin, and that Hamilton, although he was undoubtedly a sincere Christian in his later years, was not an Episcopalian. Moore withdrew, but was persuaded by the urgent pleas of Hamilton's friends to return. On receiving Hamilton's solemn assurance that he repented for his part in the duel, Moore gave him communion.

Personal life
In 1779, Moore married Charity Clarke, daughter of English officer Major Thomas Clarke, who had stayed in the colony after his service in the French and Indian War, and Mary Stilwell Clarke. Thomas Clarke had acquired a large country estate along the Hudson River in Manhattan that he dubbed Chelsea, after the Royal Hospital Chelsea, a retirement home for soldiers in London, England, and his widow and daughter continued to live there after his death in 1776. Charity Clarke wrote letters to a cousin in London in the 1760s and 1770s that are still cited as examples of early patriotic sentiment, but she and her mother stayed in British-occupied New York during the Revolutionary war.

The Moores had one child together, Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863), who is credited and is most widely known as the author of the Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas." They inherited the Chelsea estate and passed it on to their son, who developed it into the neighborhood of Chelsea, Manhattan.

On February 27, 1816, Moore died in Greenwich Village, New York. He was buried at Trinity Church. North Moore Street, Manhattan is named in his honor.

Daniel McFarlan Moore

Daniel McFarlan Moore (February 27, 1869 – June 15, 1936) was an American electrical engineer and inventor. He developed a novel light source, the "Moore lamp", and a business that produced them in the early 1900s. The Moore lamp was the first commercially viable light-source based on gas discharges instead of incandescence; it was the predecessor to contemporary neon lighting and fluorescent lighting. In his later career Moore developed a miniature neon lamp that was extensively used in electronic displays, as well as vacuum tubes that were used in early television systems.

Early life
He was born in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, on February 27, 1869. Moore was the son of the Reverend Alexander Davis and Maria Louisa Douglas Moore. He graduated from Lehigh University in 1889. Moore married Mary Alice Elliott, of New York City, on June 5, 1895. They had three children: Dorothy Mae Moore, (born 1900); Elliott McFarlan Moore (1902–1933); and Beatrice Jean Moore, (born 1912).

Career
He began his career in 1890 working in the engineering department of the United Edison Manufacturing Company. At some point he started experimenting with producing light from glow discharges, which Heinrich Geissler had first developed in the 1850s. "What's wrong with my light?" Thomas Edison is said to have asked when he learned that Moore had started to tinker with light-producing tubes of gas as a potential replacement for the incandescent bulb. Moore is reported to have replied undiplomatically, "It's too small, too hot and too red." Moore left in 1894 to form his own companies, the Moore Electric Company and the Moore Light Company.

The Moore lamp
Moore had devised his glow discharge lighting system by 1896. The Moore Lamp was an extension of the well-known Geissler tube, which used glass tubes from which the air had been removed and a different gas inserted. The low-pressure gas glows when a current is passed through it. As described in 1915, "In the Moore system of lighting the essential feature is the introduction of a special valve which automatically admits gas into the tube as the supply becomes exhausted." The Moore lamps utilized nitrogen or carbon dioxide as the luminous gas; Moore's innovation compensated for the gradual loss of gas in the lamp to the electrodes and the glass. Carbon dioxide gave a good quality white light. The first commercial installation was done in 1904 in a hardware store in Newark, New Jersey. The lamp yielded about 10 lumens per watt, which was about triple the output of incandescent lights based on carbon filaments. Arthur Bright has written, "Despite the fact that the tube was expensive to install, complicated, and required very high voltages, its operating advantages were great enough for it to find restricted use in stores, offices, and similar general lighting uses as well as in photography and some advertising and decorative applications."

The modest success of the Moore tubes was among the drivers for developing better filaments for standard incandescent light bulbs. Tungsten filament bulbs were a sufficient improvement over carbon filaments that the Moore tubes "gradually disappeared from the market, leaving only short carbon-dioxide tubes in use for color matching, in which they excelled because of their daylight color. The General Electric Company absorbed the two Moore companies and Moore's patents in 1912. Moore himself rejoined General Electric's laboratory force."

Miniature neon lamp
Moore's inventions at General Electric included a miniature neon lamp that remained a fixture in electronic displays throughout the twentieth century, and was a forerunner of plasma displays. Both the lamp and his further inventions were also important to the early development of television. In particular, around 1917 Moore developed a "negative glow" neon lamp. These were miniature lamps with a very different design than the much larger neon tubes used for neon lighting; a Smithsonian Institution website notes, "These small, low power devices use a physical principle called 'coronal discharge.' Moore mounted two electrodes close together in a bulb and added neon or argon gas. The electrodes would glow brightly in red or blue, depending on the gas, and the lamps lasted for years. Since the electrodes could take almost any shape imaginable, a popular application has been fanciful decorative lamps. Glow lamps found practical use as indicators in instrument panels and in many home appliances until the acceptance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the 1970s." In 1924 he invented the vacuum bulbs used in what was at that time called "telephotography" (sending still pictures by electricity or radio), and in 1925 improved the invention for use in television.

Moore was awarded the John Scott Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1911.

Death
On June 15, 1936, at the age of 67, Moore was shot to death on the lawn of his home in East Orange, New Jersey, by an unemployed inventor who became enraged after finding that an invention he filed for was already the subject of a patent granted to Moore.

Patents

 * Phosphorescent Electrical Lighting (1898)
 * Fire for Joints in Vacuum Tubes (1912)

Eva Moore

Eva Moore (9 February 1868 – 27 April 1955) was an English actress. Her career on stage and in film spanned six decades, and she was active in the women's suffrage movement. In her 1923 book of reminiscences, Exits and Entrances, she describes approximately ninety of her roles in plays, but she continued to act on stage until 1945. She also acted in more than two dozen films. Her daughter, Jill Esmond, was the first wife of Laurence Olivier.

Early life and career
Moore was born and educated in Brighton, Sussex, the eighth of ten children, the last of whom was the actress Decima Moore. Her parents were the chemist Edward Henry Moore and his wife, Emily (née Strachan) Moore. She attended Miss Pringle's school in Brighton and then studied gymnastics and dancing in Liverpool. Returning to Brighton, she taught dancing.

In 1891 she married actor/playwright Henry V. Esmond (1869–1922). They had three children: Jack (an actor), Jill (the actress Jill Esmond, first wife of Laurence Olivier) and Lynette, who did not survive infancy. Her husband wrote more than a dozen plays in which she appeared, and they appeared together in more than a dozen plays.

Moore made her first stage appearance at London's Vaudeville Theatre on 15 December 1887, as Varney in Proposals. She next joined Toole's company and appeared at Toole's Theatre on 26 December of that year as the Spirit of Home in Dot. In 1888, she was back at the Vaudeville in a play with her sisters Jessie and Decima, Partners, by Robert Williams Buchanan. In 1890, she created the role of the countess of Drumdurris in the Arthur Wing Pinero play The Cabinet Minister at the Court Theatre. In 1892, she appeared as Minestra in the comic opera The Mountebanks by W. S. Gilbert and Alfred Cellier. The next year, she created the role of Pepita in the long-running Little Christopher Columbus.

In 1894, she joined Charles Hawtrey and Lottie Venne in F. C. Burnand's A Gay Widow. Other stage roles included Mabel Vaughn in The Wilderness (1901); Lady Ernestone in Esmond's My Lady Cirtue and Wilhelmina Marr in his Billy's Little Love Affair (both 1903); and Kathie in Old Heidelberg (1902 and 1909) with George Alexander. In 1907, she took the name part in Sweet Kitty Bellaire (1907) and played Mrs. Errol in Little Lord Fauntleroy, Mrs. Crowley in The Explorer in 1908, the Hon. Mrs. Bayle in Best People and Mrs. Rivers in The House Opposite in 1909.

Later years and films
Moore was active in the suffrage movement (as was her sister Decima), attending meetings and appearing in suffragist plays and films. She was a founder of the Actresses' Franchise League in 1908 but resigned from that organisation when other members objected to her acting in a sketch called "Her Vote", by her husband, in which the heroine prefers kisses to votes. Moore later managed her husband's comedy Eliza Comes to Stay, which opened at the Criterion Theatre on 12 February 1913, transferring to the Vaudeville Theatre on 6 July 1914, and then took the play to New York City for an unsuccessful run. After the First World War began, she continued acting at the Vaudeville in the evenings but worked as a volunteer during the day for the Women's Emergency Corps, based at the Little Theatre.

She raised money for hospital and wartime causes and was honoured with the ordre de la Reine Elisabeth for her wartime activities. At the Royalty Theatre, she played Mrs. Culver in the 1918 play The Title, by Arnold Bennett, where she also played Mrs. Etheridge in Caesar's Wife by W. Somerset Maugham and the title role in Mumsie. In October 1920, she and Esmond began an extensive tour of Canada with Nigel Bruce as their stage manager, who played Montague Jordan in Eliza Comes to Stay, which re-opened at the Duke of York's Theatre in London on 14 June 1923.

From 1920 to 1946, Moore made over two dozen films, beginning with The Law Divine (1920). Some of her best-received silent films were Flames of Passion (1922), The Great Well (1924), Chu-Chin-Chow (1925) and Motherland (1927). Her most popular 'talkies' included Almost a Divorce (1931), The Old Dark House (1932), Leave It to Smith (1933), I Was a Spy (1933), Jew Süss (1934), A Cup of Kindness (1934), Vintage Wine (1935), The Divorce of Lady X (1938, which starred her son-in-law Laurence Olivier) and Of Human Bondage (1946).

Moore published her reminiscences, Exits and Entrances, in 1923 but continued to act until 1945. In later years, she resided at Bisham, Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, dying of myocardial degeneration at age 87.

Frank C. Moore (painter)

Frank C. Moore II (June 22, 1953 – April 21, 2002) was a New York-based painter, winner of the Logan Medal of the Arts, and a member of the Visual AIDS Artist Caucus—the organization responsible for the (Red) Ribbon Project, A Day Without Art, and A Night Without Light.

Moore's father, Earle K. Moore, was a communications and civil rights lawyer in Manhattan, who won a landmark case establishing that broadcast stations must serve the interests of their viewers. His sister, Rebecca Moore, would later become a computer scientist, environmentalist, and founder of Google Earth Outreach. Frank Moore was born in Manhattan in 1953, then moved with his family to Long Island, N.Y., first to Great Neck, and then to Roslyn, where he first attended Roslyn Junior High School. He graduated from Roslyn High School in 1971, where he had been active in student politics and served as class president. Moore's work was selected for display for years in the high school halls. They were eventually removed during a renovation and subsequently lost.

He attended Yale, where he graduated summa cum laude in 1975, and he studied at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris from 1977 to 1979. His art began appearing in group exhibitions in 1979, as he worked as a set designer for modern dance choreographer Jim Self in Manhattan.

Deeply indebted to Surrealism, Moore's paintings frequently depict dream scenarios and futuristic landscapes, often with environmental sub-texts (in a picture-postcard Niagara Falls, chemical signatures of pollutants drift in the mist), or references to AIDS (in Viral Romance, 1992, a reversed bouquet blooms human immunodeficiency virus). His political stance was broad and nuanced with homoerotic imagery. He died of AIDS on April 21, 2002, aged 48. Late in 2012, the double exhibition Toxic Beauty, comprising the most comprehensive review of Moore's work, was on view at New York University. His sister Rebecca Moore completed his work setting up the Gesso Foundation for artists after his death.

Frank Frankfort Moore

Frank Frankfort Moore (1855–1931) was an Irish journalist, novelist, dramatist, and poet. He was a Belfast Protestant and a unionist, but his historical fiction during the years of Home Rule agitation did not shy from themes of Irish-Catholic dispossession.

Belfast years
Moore was born in Limerick, but was raised in Belfast where he records as his earliest memory was witnessing dragoons, sabres drawn, rushing sectarian rioters in the street below his nursery window.

Moore's father was a successful clockmaker and jeweller, and the home was relatively cultured (both French and German were spoken). However, as a member of the ultra-puritan Open Brethren sect the elder Moore sought to restrict his children's reading to religious and didactic titles. The evangelist Michael Paget Baxter, who identified the Emperor Napoleon III as the Beast of the Book of Revelation, was a regular visitor.

Moore was educated at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution where he quickly learned to distance himself from his father's beliefs. He recalled the circulation of some scurrilous verses entitled "Mr. Baxter and The Beast", "proving" that Baxter himself was the Antichrist.

In 1874 Moore hailed the declaration of scientific materialism by the Irish physicist John Tyndall at a conference of the British Science Association in Belfast and mocked the outraged reaction of local Presbyterian ministers. Moore did not disguise his disdain for the fevered evangelism of the Ulster Revival. He was to write that "if ever a mortal heard the voice of God, it would be in the garden at the cool of the day". He later took Anglican communion in the Church of Ireland.

From 1875 Moore worked for local, conservative and unionist, paper, The News Letter, but secured international assignments for a wider range of publications, including London titles. In 1878 he reported on the Berlin Congress which reconfigured the Balkans, and in 1879 (with an enthusiasm for empire) wrote despatches from South Africa on the Zulu War. He went on to travel and report from India, Burma and South America. Back in Belfast he became arts reviewer (sometimes writing with libellous invective), leader-writer and eventually assistant editor. He was described as "a compulsive writer - never revising - with an uncannily acute and retentive memory".

Successful writer and commentator on Ulster
It has been suggested that Moore's reputation in Belfast for journalistic vitriol "reflected a sense of entrapment among provincial philistines". As a schoolboy he had shown an early aptitude for poetry, publishing a volume of verse in 1872 which drew a letter of encouragement from the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In 1875, at the age of 20, he published two further poetry collections, Flying from a shadow and Dawn, and one prose volume, Sojourners together. The first of these is an imaginary travelogue whose scope is the span of the British empire, the globe "charted by a vision tragic and romantic, much in the style of Tennyson or Wordsworth but in the rhythm of the Victorian hymnal".

Moore's 1893 novel, "I Forbid the Banns": the Story of a Comedy that was Played Seriously, was eventually to sell over half a million copies. The heroine, a young Australian women, scandalises society by operating on the principle that "if marriage is founded upon true affection, the tie will be regarded as sacred by the man and the woman without the necessity of any civil contract". Complications ensue and the experiment proves a failure.

The success of the novel gave Moore gave the confidence to launch himself a literary career--in London. He celebrated his departure from Belfast by publishing a collection of anecdotal reminiscences, A Journalist's Notebook (1894) which gave widespread offence to his former colleagues.

Moore was to publish over 80 novels. The Jessamy Bride (1897), a sentimental tale of romance between Mary Horneck and Oliver Goldsmith and involving, among other historical characters, Samuel Johnson and Edmund Burke, was a major success. He wrote several plays ranging from scenes of Goldsmith’s life to one on Nell Gwyn and including a four act verse play entitled The Mayflower (1892).

Moore was a committed unionist. “It is better", he wrote, "to be separated from the rest of Ireland than from Great Britain”. Yet in The Truth about Ulster (1914) Moore allowed that the Protestants, in important respects, remained a planted "colony" and he expressed understanding but little sympathy for their sectarian passions. In his novel The Ulsterman (1914) he has the son of a bigoted mill-owner marrying a Catholic girl. In The Lady of the Reef (1915) an English artist living in Paris travels to County Down to claim an inheritance and is baffled by the strength of local anti-Catholic feeling.

Moore also wrote novels with Irish historical themes that might have been thought more conducive to nationalist sympathies. Castle Omeragh (1903) is set in the west of Ireland during Cromwell’s ravages and its sequel Captain Latymer (1908) the Irish hero escapes transportation to Barbados with a clan daughter of the Irish chieftain Owen Roe O'Neill.

Yet Moore's ultimate sympathies were "never in doubt." In The Truth About Ulster he asserted that New York City's Tammany Hall "acted from generation to generation for the Ulstermen to point to as an example of the form of Home Rule that is the ideal of the Irishman". The ethno-Irish Democratic-Party machine was a demonstration of the corrupt practices that would be a mark an Irish parliament. On these lines Moore wrote satires of Irish Home Rule such as Diary of an Irish Cabinet Minister (1893), The Viceroy of Muldoon and The Rise and Fall of Larry O’Lannigan JP (1893), albeit in "the gentle mould of Somerville and Ross rather than the turbulent bigotry of [the unionist leaders] Carson and Craig".

Where Moore's fiction portrays Cromwell's crimes of conquest, the Lord Protector nonetheless retains the aura of "a Carlylean Great Man". His Gaels, by comparison, are "inefficient fantasists". It is suggested that Moore "feared the mass Catholicism of the western peasantry and the Belfast slums as the enemy of individual freedom and economic progress".

Moore’s wife of twenty years, Alice (Balcombe) (whose sister Lucinda, married to Bram Stoker, had given him access to the theatrical world.), died in 1901. He remarried to Dorothea Hatton and moved to Lewes, Sussex. Here he wrote A Garden of Peace (1919) under the pseudonym "Frank Littlemore" which celebrated "the settled order of the English countryside". He did write a series of articles on Victorian Belfast in the Belfast Telegraph in 1924, subsequently published as Belfast by the Sea (1928). While these celebrate "the achievements of late Victorian Belfast and the traders and professionals of its main streets", the Ireland that he describes in his last work, A Mixed Grill (1930), has been described as "a country best suited to the gentlemanly pursuit of hunting, now departed."

Death and legacy
Moore died in Lewes in May 1931. He was survived by three daughters.

After his death several of his plays were published, and some staged at The Gaiety, Dublin and The Royal in Limerick as well as in London. He is mentioned briefly in Peter Kavanagh’s book The Irish Theatre (1946). But his fiction, some of which has been compared to the adventurous tales of Jack London, seems to have been mostly forgotten.
