Monroe Community College is a public community college in Monroe County, New York. It is part of the State University of New York; the college has two campuses. The college has off-site learning at the Applied Technologies Center, Monroe County Public Safety Training Facility, extension sites in East Rochester, Spencerport and online; the origins of what became known as Monroe Community College begin in 1960, when a well-known local physician, Dr. Samuel J. Stabins recognized the need to prepare students to work in hospitals and health care facilities. In 1961, MCC became part of the SUNY system, its program offerings were expanded to prepare graduates for employment, or transfer to a four-year institution; the college was lodged in East High School located at 410 Alexander Street. The location was condemned by the city as a fire hazard, which forced the school to make renovations. On September 9, 1962, the original campus re-opened with the first class of 720 students. Three years in June 1965, MCC became the first college in the nation to receive accreditation within three years of its founding.

Due to increasing enrollment, the college overflowed its first location's capacity. In 1968, the college moved to its present main campus on East Henrietta Road in Brighton. In 1991, the college announced plans for a second campus to serve a steady influx of students; the Damon City Campus, named in honor of longtime Trustee E. Kent Damon, opened its doors the following year in downtown Rochester, educates students in law, criminal justice, human services and K-12 teaching; as of 2010, MCC has served more than a quarter of a million people. Within the past several years MCC has welcomed the additions of the Louis S. and Molly B. Wolk Center for Excellence in Nursing, the PAC fitness and recreational facility. MCC occupies two campuses: the 300 acres main campus on 1000 East Henrietta Road in the Town of Brighton, New York and the Downtown Campus on 321 State Street near Frontier Field and Kodak Tower. MCC offers classes at the Applied Technologies Center on West Henrietta Road which includes automotive technologies, heating/cooling ventilation, precision tooling and machinery.

In addition, they train law enforcement, fire safety, emergency medical services personnel at the county Public Safety Training Facility. Today, Monroe Community College hosts a diverse student body and offers 83 degree and certification programs. Of the 41,000 students who take classes through Monroe Community College annually, more than 65 percent are under 25 years old, more than half are women; the majority of students are enrolled in degree programs. In addition, the college trains the area's workforce through open enrollment and corporate training programs, serving small to mid-size employers such as Melles Griot and large employers including Kodak and Xerox. Many students opt to take a "2+2" transfer program, in which they enroll in a program to earn their associate degree in two years with the intent of transferring to a college or university — the University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, Saint John Fisher College, Roberts Wesleyan College, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Brockport, Nazareth College, or the Eastman School of Music — to complete a bachelor's degree.

Graduates of MCC have moved on to more than 100 different schools. In 2005, 2,680 people graduated from the college. Of those who transferred to another college, 62 percent chose one of the region's four-year colleges and universities. Of those graduates who enrolled at MCC to prepare for a career, 89 percent stayed in the greater Rochester area and found work in many local industries. Students maintain a regular newspaper, The Monroe Doctrine, which includes both a bi-weekly print version and an online version; the radio station is student operated and there are 57 student clubs and organizations for students to participate in. The Student Association, of which all enrolled student life fee-paying students are members, is governed by the Brighton Campus Student Government Association and the Damon Campus Student Events and Governance Association; the Campus Activities Board is the events organization at MCC. The CAB sponsors on-campus activities such as Fall Fest and Spring Fling. CAB brings in Guest Speakers to present on various current issues facing students.

Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of two-year colleges and academic programs, has a chapter on the MCC campus. The chapter participates in the Honors in Action Study Topic and the College Project to remain a 5-star chapter. MCC offers smart classrooms, interactive videoconferencing capabilities, eight electronic learning centers, the Warshof Conference Center, dental clinic and dance studios, a new synthetic turf field, a variety of dining and restaurant options on campus. Brighton Campus is one of the few college campuses, nearly enclosed; the Brighton Campus, along with the Applied Technologies Center on West Henrietta Road and the Downtown Campus is wireless. In 2008, a 56,000 sq ft. athletics facility – the PAC Center – was added to the Brighton Campus. Unlike most U. S. community colleges, MCC provides residence halls for on-campus living. In 2003, the Alice Holloway Young Residence Halls opened on the Brighton Campus. Today, four more buildings have been added: Alexander Hall, Canal Hall, Pioneer Hall, Tribune Hall.

The college athletic teams are nicknamed the Tribunes. On April 27th 2016 the department of Education opened a fed

Charles Bulmer Maude was an Anglican priest in the last third of the nineteenth century and the first third of the twentieth. Maude was born in Chapel Allerton, Leeds, son of Edmund Maude, of Middleton Lodge, Leeds, he was educated at Leeds Grammar School and Exeter College, Oxford where he graduated Bachelor of Arts in 1871 and Master in 1872. He was ordained in 1872 by the Bishop of Ripon. After a curacy in Leeds he served as the third incumbent at St Cyprian's Church, South Africa. After further incumbencies at Wilnecote, Leek (1886–1896, he died on 11 May 1927, aged 79. Maude was one of four priests brought by Bishop Allan Becher Webb to the Diocese of Bloemfontein in 1876. Maude succeeded Fr Neville Borton as Rector of St Cyprian's Church in Kimberley in 1877, having gone there with Maude upon their arrival from England, he left an account of the still primitive conditions that prevailed in the diamond mining town, still less than a decade old. Concerning the rectory, Maude related that: "We have a canvas house for our sitting room and a wooden one for our bedroom.

The floors are made of brick dried in the sun, but the legs of beds or tables make holes in them.""The church floor is of mud and so is dusty. It is a low building with an iron roof and when it rains we have to give up the service as we cannot be heard! But do not think we are badly off. We have a surpliced choir, 12 boys and 8 men, a choral service; every Sunday the church is crowded. It holds about 400. I hope. At present, too, we are without a school-house and are obliged to have both day and Sunday school in church."It was during Maude's incumbency that a church building was imported from England to be assembled in Kimberley. The foundation stone was laid in 1879 by Sir Charles Warren, his wife described a calamity which occurred as it neared completion: "Our new church which we were all looking forward to moving into for our Christmas services, that seemed to be getting on so nicely, was blown over by a whirlwind and is lying a pitiable heap of ruins…it happened one Sunday morning. Our people were having services in the Odd Fellows’ Hall stifling under the heat of an unlined iron building when the crash came.

Those who saw it say it was lifted three feet from the ground and dropped, utterly shapeless, like a street of cardhouses! And all our money gone, diamonds are down, times are bad!" The situation was however salvaged and on Low Sunday 1880 Bishop Webb of Bloemfontein dedicated the "re-erected'church-like' church" and instituted C. B. Maude as Rector of Kimberley. Ill health soon forced him to resign, he returned to England. Maude Street in Kimberley is named after him. Maude served subsequently as Vicar of Leek in Staffordshire; the Maude Institute was built and presented for use by St Edward’s Church, Leek by parishioners, as a memento of Maude’s vicariate, in 1896. Maude moved in 1896 from Leek to Shrewsbury in Shropshire when he was appointed by the Bishop of Lichfield both Vicar of St Chad's Church and Archdeacon of Salop. During his incumbency at St Chad's the church was fitted with electric light and a new organ, new parish schools were built, he resigned his incumbency in 1906 because of the weight of his other duty as Archdeacon.

He remained Archdeacon, while living at Swan Hill House, until retiring in 1917. He was during that period Chaplain to the Shrewsbury Borough Corporation for some ten years. Maude married, at Bloemfontein Anglican Cathedral, in January 1878, daughter of Alexander Donovan, of Framfield Place, England; the couple had no children, she survived him. Following his retirement as Archdeacon, he moved from Shrewsbury to Ludlow, where he lived in a house attached to Ludlow Castle. Locally he became Ludlow High School for Girls, he died at home after a long illness, was buried at Shrewsbury General Cemetery on 14 May 1927 after a funeral service in St Laurence's Church, Ludlow

The String Quartet No. 15 in E-flat minor, Op. 144, was Dmitri Shostakovich's last quartet. It premiered in Leningrad by the Taneiev Quartet on 15 November. Like most of the composer's late works, it is an introspective meditation on mortality; the piece consists of six linked movements, all marked Adagio: The playing time is 36 minutes, making it the longest of Shostakovich's string quartets. Shostakovich told the Beethoven Quartet to play the first movement "so that flies drop dead in mid-air, the audience start leaving the hall from sheer boredom". An original recording of the quartet performed by the Fitzwilliam Quartet was released on Decca in 1976. Shostakovich supervised the production. Notes SourcesGushue, Ariane. C.

Chrysler Europe was the American automotive company Chrysler's operations in Europe from 1967 through 1979. It was formed from the merger of the French British Rootes and Spanish Barreiros companies. In 1979, Chrysler divested these operations to PSA Peugeot Citroën. PSA rebadged the former Chrysler and Simca models with the revived Talbot marque, but abandoned the brand for passenger cars in 1987, although it continued on commercial vehicles until 1994. Among the remaining Chrysler Europe assets still in existence are the former Simca factory in Poissy, the former Barreiros plant in the Madrid suburb Villaverde, which both serve as major Peugeot-Citroën assembly plants, the Rootes Group research and development complex in Whitley, now the headquarters of Jaguar Land Rover. Chrysler Corporation had never had much success outside North America, contrasting with Ford's worldwide reach and General Motors' success with Opel, Vauxhall and Bedford. Chrysler first established an interest in the French-based Simca in 1958, buying 15% of the Simca stocks from Ford.

In 1963 Chrysler increased their stake to a controlling 63% by purchasing further stock from Fiat. Chrysler acquired a 35% share of the Spanish Barreiros in 1963, it became part of Chrysler Europe in 1969. After failing to acquire an interest in the British-based Leyland Motors in 1962, Chrysler bought a 30% share in Rootes Group in 1964. Rootes was formally taken over by Chrysler following purchase of the remaining shares in 1967. In 1970 Rootes was formally named Chrysler Ltd. and Simca became Chrysler, with the Hillman marque being replaced by Chrysler on the UK market in 1976 and Simca surviving until after the PSA takeover in 1979. Although the original marques were retained at first, from 1976 British-built cars were badged as Chryslers, while the Simca badge appeared on French versions, though with the Chrysler pentastar, in some markets the cars were sold as Chrysler-Simca. Chrysler used the Dodge marque on commercial vehicles produced by both Rootes. In addition, in some countries, such as Spain, the Dodge and Simca marques would be used for other vehicles Spanish-designed trucks and buses and locally-built versions of US-market vehicles or local versions of Simca cars.

The company systematically retired the previous marques from Rootes, including Hillman and Sunbeam in favour of the Chrysler name. The Simca brand was retained in its native France, but the Simca vehicles themselves were branded as either Chrysler-Simca or Chrysler outside France. In 1969, Chrysler Europe closed a deal with French engineering group Matra Automobiles to jointly develop the Matra sports cars and subsequently sell them through the Simca dealer network. Following the introduction of the 1970 Avenger, Chrysler showed little investment or interest in the technologically conservative Rootes line-up, concentrating instead on the advanced front wheel drive Simca models instead. CKD assembly of various American Dodge and Chrysler models took place at Chrysler's own Rotterdam factory until its closure in 1970, Barreiros assembled the Dodge Dart in Villaverde from 1965-70, followed under Chrysler ownership by the revised Dodge 3700. In Switzerland AMAG had assembled various American Chrysler and Dodge models between 1948 and 1972, the most popular model being the Chrysler Valiant.

None of these models sold in large quantities because even'compact' American cars of that period were too large and fuel-thirsty to sell well in the European market. Inherited Rootes and Simca car models still in production beyond 1967 were: Hillman Imp and its various badge-engineered derivatives the Hillman Husky, Singer Chamois/Imp/Sport, Sunbeam Imp/Stiletto and Commer Imp van Hillman Hunter and its derivatives Hillman Minx, Humber Sceptre, Singer Gazelle/Vogue and Sunbeam Vogue. Latterly rebadged as Chrysler Hunter Sunbeam Rapier/Alpine coupé Sunbeam Alpine roadster Simca 1000 Simca 1000 Coupé/1200S Simca 1100/1200/1204. Van and pick-up versions were rebadged as Dodges for the British market 1976-79, all models were badged as Talbots for Britain after 1979. Simca 1301/1501 The first new European Chrysler was the large Chrysler 180 range, including the 160 and 2 Litre; the 180 was the result of combining two projects that were being developed independently by Rootes and Simca as successors to their largest models.

This was the flagship model in the Chrysler Europe range, it was the first European designed model to use the Chrysler name, which it was intended to establish as a premium marque above Simca and Humber. The 180 was intended to rival the likes of Audi 100 and Ford Granada during the 1970s, although unlike its competitors it was only available with 4-cylinder engines and lacked a prestige image, it was built in France, but due to disappointing sales its assembly was transferred to Spain as a successor to the Dodge 3700 in a market where protectionist trade policies guaranteed it some domestic sales. From 1977 the 180 was sold as a'Chrysler-Simca' in most European markets, after the sale of Chrysler Europe to PSA it was rebadged again as a Talbot. Launched in 1970 was the Hillman Avenger, a medium-sized family car which fitted between the Imp and the Hunter in Chrysler's British range; the model sold well in Britain but was less successful in export ma
