Byron H. Robb’s Pertinacious Gall Got Him Evicted From Cincinnati And Honored In Texas

In the long and sordid roster of Queen City scalawags, Byron H. Robb holds a prominent place. He was delightfully incorrigible, congenitally incapable of telling the truth and absolutely unrepentant when exposed.

Robb fabricated so consistently that it is often difficult to separate any facts from the overwhelming flood of mendacity in his wake. It appears that he was born around 1836 in or near Parkman, Ohio, a tiny hamlet east of Cleveland and northwest of Youngstown. His parents named him Harvey, but he found that name uninspiring and relegated it to a middle initial. He began calling himself Byron, after the British poet.

At the age of 19, Robb launched a lifelong career as a bamboozler, selling a concoction guaranteed to produce luscious curls when applied to the scalp. At least one unfortunate customer went totally bald when she saturated her hair with the stuff. He got into the oil business by purchasing a dry well, then pouring oil stolen from nearby tanks into it. He then fobbed the now “productive” rig onto some credulous farmer. During the Civil War, Robb raised a cavalry company he dubbed the “Geauga Rangers” and offered it for service, claiming the rank of lieutenant on the basis of his own fabricated experience as a Texas Ranger. The United States Army wasn’t that desperate.

Among Robb’s myriad victims was Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mrs. Stowe ordered some “mammoth gourd seeds” from Robb to plant at her winter home in Florida. Robb claimed these seeds yielded gigantic gourds that could be used as washtubs. When her first shipment failed to sprout, Mrs. Stowe ordered another, and sent a letter inquiring what she had done wrong!

At various times, Robb popped up in St. Louis, New Orleans and a number of other locales, usually one step ahead of the law. When the constabulary sniffed too close to his fraudulent enterprises, Robb would “rent” another man’s name and resume business under that appellation until the coast was clear. During the 1860s, Robb paid a gardener named William Chappell $25 annually so he could advertise yet another hair tonic under the “Chappell’s Hyperion” brand.

It was reported that Robb dumped his first wife by encouraging her interest in another man. Robb sent her to Indiana to secure a divorce while he romanced an employee who would become the second Mrs. Robb.

Around 1875, Robb rented a house in Bellevue, Kentucky, establishing his business offices in Cincinnati. Entries in the city directories for the next half-dozen years indicate the constant churn of his schemes. At first, he listed himself as a “general agent,” which covered a multitude of sins. Next, he became the proprietor of the Monitor Manufacturing Company, then manager of the Monitor Lamp & Glass Works, and then President of the American and European Secret Service Company, then manager of the Electro Magnetic Hair and Flesh Brush Company.

Interestingly, at least two of these companies had some basis in actual inventions patented by Robb. In 1877, Robb was awarded a patent for a device that extinguished a kerosene lamp if it was knocked over. In 1879 and 1880, he earned patents for “galvanic” hairbrushes. Unfortunately, Robb preferred fraud to manufacturing. People who ordered his lamps often got nothing at all, while customers of his galvanic brushes received nothing but a cheap comb with a bit of copper wire wrapped around it.

It was his “Secret Service” company that achieved the pinnacle of Robb’s infamy. The American and European Secret Service Company placed hundreds of advertisements throughout the United States, offering to enlist any correspondent as a bona-fide detective, complete with a frameable certificate and a shiny new badge for the low, low price of only $3.60. After paying this fee, applicants were advised to keep their day jobs in order to remain undercover until an assignment came up. Young men throughout the country signed up in abundance – many of them career criminals who believed that an appointment as a detective offered a credible alibi. There are reports of bushels of mail arriving every day at Robb’s Fifth Street office, half containing money orders for $3.60 and half containing dunning letters from newspapers that were never paid for running Robb’s advertisements.

Eventually the postal inspectors caught up with Robb and he was subpoenaed to court. Robb procured the cream of the Cincinnati bar for his defense, including Stanley Matthews, later appointed to the United States Supreme Court, and George Hoadly, later elected governor of Ohio. His lawyers reviewed the evidence collected by the Post Office and informed Robb that he was undoubtedly going to lose the case. His best option was to plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court.

Robb responded by firing his crack legal team. He then sent telegrams to a dozen or so of his “detectives,” directing them to take the next train westward, to proceed to some remote location and to apprehend a red-headed, one-eyed man missing one finger and walking with a limp. The young operatives, delighted to finally be on assignment, followed orders and reported back that no such man could be found. Robb thanked them for their diligence, paid their salary and expenses and told his proteges to await their next assignment.

In court, Robb produced several of these young men as witnesses. They testified under oath that they had applied to the Secret Service Company, paid the initiation fee, received their badge and certificate, and had received an assignment from Robb and had been paid for it. The Post Office case crumbled. No matter they could prove nothing in court, the United States Postmaster announced in 1880 that nine Cincinnati companies controlled by Robb were prohibited from using the postal service in any manner.

Byron H. Robb responded to this temporary setback with his usual flair. First, he went to court and had his name legally changed to Byron H. Van Raub, claiming it was the ancestral version of the family surname. Then he relocated to Texas and acquired some property he claimed was the famous Don Carlos Ranch, which it was not, and then got into the Shetland Pony business, and then the cowboy school business, and then the bloodhound dog business, and then the Buff Leghorn egg business and then the milch goat business. And he had the nearest Bexar County railroad whistle stop renamed Van Raub, after himself.

Every time Robb, or Van Raub, embarked on some new scam, newspapers around the country published scathing exposés of his extensive rap sheet. Newspaper owners were delighted to attack him because the one constant in Robb’s career was his reluctance to pay for advertising. Still, there was always someone willing to believe his folderol. One newspaper, reporting that Van Raub was seeking young men willing to become cowboys (and willing to send him $5.00 for particulars – sound familiar?) claimed he was a retired Prussian cavalry officer who insisted on stern discipline. When Robb died in 1913, the obituaries included some highly unlikely embellishments such as selling Shetland ponies to European nobility.

Amazingly, Robb’s bullshit endures to this very day. Out where Van Raub, Texas, once existed – by the 1920s, his namesake was nothing more than a ghost town – there is an official historic marker that reads in part:

“This community, named after Byron Van Raub, an English gentlemen rancher, was established along the route of the Kerrville Branch. It is said that this successful gentleman rancher developed the first dude ranch in Texas as a means to train fellow Englishman in the rigors of creating successful Texas ranching operations.”

The shifty little shyster from rural Ohio got himself memorialized as an English gentleman, capping a positively breathtaking life of unrelenting chutzpah.

[mightyflamethrower]

FBI agents have arrested a Texas man on charges that he and six other men gang-raped two toddlers in the restroom at Houston's Galleria shopping mall and posted a video of the assault online. Hector Fernandez, 29, who worked at a kiosk in the Galleria, has been arrested on federal charges of sexual exploitation of children. He faces up to life in prison, and a federal magistrate has ordered him held without bond.

The case originated with the discovery by the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation of four videos in “a private, by invitation only, forum on the dark web.” 

The FBI was consulted and, using image mapping software that searches social media accounts, was able to identify a child who looked like one of the two two-year-old victims in the video. A relative of the child who had posted the image on social media identified a "sanitized' image of the child from the videos. As a bonus, the relative also identified one of the men in the video.

Fernandez previously worked at a store in the Galleria that has since shut down, according to the complaint. Both children seen in the videos, ages 2 to 3, were related to women who also worked at the mall, the complaint said. The Houston Chronicle is not naming the stores or the women to avoid releasing identifiable information about the children.  The women sometimes took the children to their workplaces at the mall when they couldn’t afford or find child care, the complaint said. Both women considered Fernandez their friend and previously had allowed him to take the children around the mall while they were busy working, according to the complaint.  ... Fernandez was identified by two distinctive silver bracelets worn by a man present in three of the videos, according to the complaint. Both women identified the bracelets as belonging to Fernandez, and investigators found photo evidence on Fernandez’s social media accounts that also showed him wearing the bracelets, the complaint said. Authorities are unsure when the videos were taken. One woman told investigators that Fernandez walked her relative around the mall once in December 2022 and took the child trick-or-treating without her present in October. The other woman said Fernandez took her relative around the mall once this summer.

I'm not going to make public judgments about Fernandez or his lifestyle based on his Instagram account, but YMMV. (If you won't pass judgement over something as disgusting and vile as this what would you pass judgement over.)

This kind of stuff is becoming more and more common. There is an obvious parallel between Fernandez and six of his "besties" raping toddlers and another case in Atlanta that seems to have vanished from sight.

In my view, several things are driving this phenomenon.

Much of this could not happen without social media. It lets these people search out others with common interests. It lets them share videos and what I'd call "tactics, techniques, and procedures." While pedophiles may be the leading edge, I'm positive that right now, there is a similar “private, by invitation only, forum on the dark web” catering to serial killers.

Second, there is a reluctance by society to recognize that evil exists. Real evil. It is not a lack of impulse control or a personality disorder; we are seeing actual, garden-variety evil. Some people can't be deterred and can't be rehabilitated. We've become too "modern" to accept the presence of supernatural forces. Even Christians, whose entire religion is based on the supernatural, are left trying to find psychobabble explanations for what are patently and obviously evil actions.

Finally, much of society is reluctant to make judgments that would open them to accusations of bigotry. Would I have let @allegedly_hector have one-on-one access with my two-year-old, no matter how many rainbows were in his Instagram profile? No. Because any unrelated male acquaintance who wants to babysit a two-year-old is going to make my pedo-antenna start pinging. Maybe some related ones will trip the alarm, too.

As a side note, in May, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill extending the death penalty to child rapists. This is a direct test of the 2008 Supreme Court decision in Kennedy vs. Louisiana that barred the death penalty for child rape. That court majority (Kennedy, joined by Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer) is gone, and the dissenters remain (Alito, joined by Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas) and have allies.

I'm not idealistic enough to believe these people can be deterred, but I think it is important that society express its disgust in a way that can't be mistaken.

Romans 1:26-27 The Message (MSG)

Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.

Interview : Dr. Valerie Hanft on A02 Clear

Valerie Hanft, MD, has practised general medical and paediatric dermatology for 20 years. She has served on the FDA Task Force, participated in many clinical trials, and authored multiple peer-reviewed publications. Dr. Hanft has been consistently chosen as a Texas Top Doctor and included in Austin Monthly’s Top Doctor list in dermatology. She has also volunteered on medical missions to Haiti, where she provided care in rural clinics and area hospitals. We spoke to her about a new game changing product called A02 Clear.

1) Hi Dr Valerie, could you tell us more about how you came across A02 Clear.

A mutual acquaintance introduced me to Zvi Yaniv, the physicist who patented the oxygen nanobubble technology. At that time, he had developed a formulation to treat peripheral neuropathy. He consulted me inquiring about potential  applications in dermatology.

2) There’s really no other product like this in the market. How does it actually work on acne?

The bacteria that causes pimples, Cutibacteria acnes, is anaerobic. This means it thrives in an environment like the skin pores where there is lack of oxygen. By flooding the pores with oxygen nanobubbles, AO2 Clear is a natural antibacterial agent. Clogged pores occur as a result of excess sebum (oil) production and improper turnover of the lining of the skin pore. This process is also perpetuated by a low oxygen state. Thus, AO2 Clear not only targets the bacterial source of acne, but also the blackheads and whiteheads that accompany the pimples.

3) How do you recommend patients use it?

I recommend people use a gentle cleanser then pat the skin dry. Apply AO2 Clear with the included compostable sponges with a gentle exfoliating motion then allow the skin to air dry. Best results are achieved when using the product twice daily.

4) Can the product be used alongside other topicals like tretinoin and spot treatments (benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin)?

As long as users allow their skin to air dry after using AO2 Clear, they can use all the products they normally would use in their daily regimen. Many users have reported replacing their toner with AO2 Clear which is not drying like most toners. This creates a nice clean skin canvas before applying other products.

5) I’ve heard this also helps speed post-procedure healing. Could you tell us more about how this works?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-accepted treatment for wound healing. Oxygen at a high pressure gradient will move into tissues where the oxygen pressure is lower. For chronic wounds, oxygen has antiinflammatory effects, leads to improved blood flow, and increases collagen production by fibroblasts. AO2 Clear uses the same principles as hyperbaric oxygen therapy to accelerate skin healing whether this is post-procedure (after laser resurfacing or chemical peels, for example) or in the setting of irritating topical treatments as seen with retinoid use.

6) Are there any contraindications for using this?

There are no contraindications for AO2 Clear! Women who are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive can safely use this product. It can be used alone or in conjunction with any other treatment. Even people with very sensitive skin can use AO2 Clear as it contains no chemicals that could cause irritation. https://ao2clear.com/

GEOINGENIERÍA Y ARMAS CLIMÁTICAS

Por Leonid Savin

Traducción de Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera

 Las fuertes llovizna que han azotado a los países europeos y asiáticos, así como los numerosos incendios que se producen tanto en Rusia como en el extranjero, han llevado a que muchos se pregunten una vez más: ¿es posible que el ser humano controle los fenómenos naturales? Y sí tal tecnología existe, entonces ¿puede ser utilizada para fines destructivos (como lo vemos en una película de acción y ciencia ficción como Geostorm)? O, diciéndolo de otro modo, ¿acaso existen las armas climáticas (geomagnéticas, estratosféricas, etc.)?

 Empezaremos diciendo que no vamos a estudiar las teorías conspirativas que hablan de las estelas químicas [a] relacionadas con los mil millones de oro [b], ni tampoco vamos a hablar del sistema HAARP, que ya ha sido desmantelado. Vamos a abordar el tema desde una perspectiva racional.

 Es obvio que existen tecnologías que controlan los fenómenos meteorológicos. Solo basta decir que, hace relativamente poco, las nubes sobre Moscú fueron dispersadas durante el 9 de mayo con tal de que no afectaran el ambiente festivo o interfirieran en el desfile militar. Tanto en China como en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos se emplean técnicas para provocar precipitaciones artificiales como un medio para combatir la sequía que afecta a estos países.

 No obstante, si vemos las cosas desde un contexto más amplio, podemos decir que estas tecnologías tienen una relación directa con la ideología política. Los Estados Unidos empezaron a desarrollar tecnologías con tal de controlar el clima desde principios del siglo XX en el mismo momento en que se popularizaba la doctrina del “Destino Manifiesto”, que afirmaba el derecho divino de los Estados Unidos a la dominación mundial.

 El primer uso exitoso de una tecnología climática tuvo lugar en Texas en 1916, cuando Charles Hatfield utilizó sus inventos para provocar fuertes lluvias. Sin embargo, es difícil llamar a esto un éxito rotundo, pues se desató una fuerte tempestad que destrozó varias edificaciones y causó muchas muertes. Además, el éxito de Hatfield es bastante cuestionable debido a que había fracasado muchas veces.

 Fue a partir de la década de 1990 que se comenzó a hablar abiertamente en Occidente de la necesidad urgente de desarrollar estas tecnologías bajo la cubierta de una agenda medioambiental. El termino de “geoingeniera” comenzó a ser utilizado desde el año 2000 y fue considerado por varios gobiernos como una estrategia muy importante en su política exterior (1).

 Por ejemplo, el periódico británico de izquierda The Guardian dice en un artículo del 2011 que “la geoingeniería es un proyecto destinado a luchar directamente contra los efectos del cambio climático, eliminando el CO2 del aire o limitando la cantidad de luz solar que llega a la superficie del planeta. Aunque la geoingeniería a gran escala se encuentra todavía en fase de desarrollo, sus defensores afirman que puede llegar a ser indispensable en caso de que el mundo desee evitar los peores efectos del cambio climático. Los críticos, por el contrario, afirman que la geoingeniería no es realista y puede ser un falso camino a la hora de reducir las emisiones” (2).

 Los medios usados para controlar el clima incluyen polímeros plásticos, poner cal en el agua, enterrar carbón vegetal con el objetivo de aumentar la concentración de carbono en el suelo, el pastoreo de ciertos tipos de ganado, la liberación de aerosoles de sulfato en la estratosfera con el objetivo de reflejar la luz solar del espacio, el uso de drones para aumentar la nubosidad sobre el océano rociando agua de mar en el aire, pintar los tejados de color blanco con el fin de aumentar la reflectividad e incluso el poner pequeños espejos en el espacio exterior que se encuentra entre la Tierra y el sol.

 La geoingeniería ha recurrido a muchas ideas con tal de minimizar el impacto de las catástrofes naturales. Incluso se ha planteado “que cuando acontezca una gran erupción volcánica en el hemisferio norte es necesario liberar sulfato en la estratosfera del hemisferio sur para contrarrestado rápidamente el calor, gracias a ello ambos hemisferios se enfriarían. En caso de evitar una grave sequía, entonces habríamos obtenido una gran victoria” (3). Pero como no se han producido pruebas de cambo, todas estas hipótesis permanecen siendo parte de la especulación teórica.

 Cabe señalar que The Guardian reconoce que el uso de la geoingeniería con el objetivo de cambiar la estructura del clima planetario tiene implicaciones geopolíticas importantes para la gobernanza mundial, lo cual implica un conflicto entre diferentes Estados.

 El blog del Council on Foreign Relations da una definición similar a la anterior, pero habla abiertamente del uso de estas tecnologías como armas.

 “La geoingeniería para el bien común (CBG, por sus siglas en inglés) son aquellos tipos de tecnologías usados para la manipulación del clima y que son desplegados con un propósito global, ya sea en la estratosfera o en alta mar, e incluyen el usar aerosoles estratosféricos, al igual que fertilizar con hierro los océanos y el blanqueamiento de las nubes que se encuentran en el mar. El derecho internacional aún no regula de forma exhaustiva el CBG, mientras que las leyes medioambientales y el derecho a la guerra sólo se aplican de forma indirecta o bajo condiciones específicas. Sin embargo, la seguridad nacional es inseparable de las cuestiones científicas, legales y éticas que rodean al CBG, al igual que sucedió con el desarrollo de la bomba atómica. En caso de que una gran potencia como Estados Unidos decida desarrollar las CBG, entonces grandes potencias como China o potencias medias con capacidad científica como el Reino Unido podrían considerar eso como un permiso tácito para contar con ellas, especialmente si consideramos que esta tecnología proporciona una ventaja estratégica o táctica. Esto podría dar lugar a una especie de carrera armamentística climática con tal de ver qué Estado será capaz de manipular el clima para su propio beneficio” (4).

 Esto podría ser considerado como una admisión explicita de la existencia de las armas climáticas. Al mismo tiempo, Foreign Affairs, una publicación del Council on Foreign Relations, lleva años impulsando la geoingeniería (5), por lo que no podemos descartar el hecho de que se libre una carrera armamentística con la intención de controlar el clima. De hecho, Estados Unidos tiene muchas patentes en este campo. La legalización de estas tecnologías y su aplicación a nivel internacional daría a las empresas estadounidenses no sólo enormes beneficios económicos, sino también una especie de derecho moral a estar en la cúspide de la pirámide con tal de administrar todo este proceso.

 EE.UU. dispone de este tipo de tecnologías desde hace mucho tiempo. Una de las primeras patentes en este ámbito fue la US3613992, conocida como “Método de modificación del clima” (6). El inventor fue el estadounidense Robert Knollenberg y registró su invento en marzo de 1966. A partir de este momento, podemos comenzar a estudiar el desarrollo de ese tipo de inventos por parte del gobierno estadounidense con tal de modificar el clima.

 Otra patente muy parecida sería la US3564253, llamada “Sistema y método de irradiación de secciones de la superficie terrestre”. El inventor es Arthur Buckingham de la Westinghouse Electric Corporation, cuya patente fue registrada el 16 de febrero de 1971. Ya no se trata de “sembrar” las nubes con sustancias químicas – algo que podría hacerse por medio de aviones – sino de una tecnología más precisa que recuerda a un arma.

 La patente US5762298, “Utilizar satélites estratégicamente situados en la órbita terrestre para modificar el efecto de la radiación solar en los ciclos meteorológicos de la Tierra”, es incluso más reciente y su inventor, Franklin Chen, la registro en junio de 1998.

 Además, hay muchas otras patentes confidenciales, es decir, que se encuentran clasificadas debido a su uso militar o que hacen parte del sistema de inteligencia de los Estados Unidos.

 Existen y siguen existiendo empresas que producen diversos sistemas y dispositivos que emplean estas tecnologías (7).

 Pero también hay organizaciones que vigilan la aparición de estas tecnologías y describen detalladamente su impacto (8).

 Así que las armas climáticas, es decir, las tecnologías para el control de la naturaleza, realmente existen. Lo que es mucho más difícil de determinar es la interdependencia entre los desastres naturales y el posible uso de estas tecnologías experimentales. Por ahora, los globalistas occidentales atribuyen todo esto al calentamiento global y proponen combatirlo... usando la geoingeniería.

 a. La teoría conspirativa de las estelas químicas, también conocida como quimioestelas​ (chemtrails en inglés), dice que las estelas de condensación de larga duración dejadas por los aviones a gran altura son en realidad «estelas químicas» que consisten en agentes químicos o biológicos​ rociados por los aviones con fines nefastos no revelados al público en general. Quienes creen en esta teoría conspirativa dicen que si bien las estelas de vapor normales se disipan relativamente rápido, las estelas que permanecen durante mucho tiempo contienen otras sustancias. Quienes se suscriben a esta teoría especulan que el propósito de la liberación química podría ser el manejo de la radiación solar, la modificación del clima, la manipulación psicológica, el control de la población humana o una guerra biológica o química, y que las estelas causan enfermedades respiratorias y otros problemas de salud.

b. El término de mil millones de oro es una metáfora utilizada en el periodismo postsoviético ruso para referirse a la población de los países más ricos y desarrollados, en donde se hace manifiesto el desequilibrio entre el nivel de vida y el consumo de estos con respecto a los países en desarrollo. En 1999, Sergei Kara-Murza escribió que “recientemente, en Occidente, el término ‘mil millones de oro’ se ha vuelto muy común y ha comenzado a referirse a la población de los países del Primer Mundo que hacen parte de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico”. Epistemológicamente, el término “mil millones de oro” tiene su origen en el neo-maltusianismo del informe del Club de Roma titulado Los límites del crecimiento (1972). El nombre se asoció originalmente a la población total de los países capitalistas desarrollados: Estados Unidos (311 millones), Canadá (34,3 millones), Australia (22,6 millones), los países de la UE (28 países, 500 millones en total), Japón (127,4 millones), Israel y Corea del Sur, junto con la perspectiva de refrenar el crecimiento de las mismas durante el siglo XXI. Pero debido a la globalización y a la creciente desigualdad social en los países desarrollados, el termino de “billón de oro” ha comenzado a designar a la “clase media” global, como estrato social privilegiado por los procesos de fusión de la economía mundial.

[the-marx-brothers-will-live-on]

Herbert Manfred "Zeppo" Marx (February 25, 1901 – November 30, 1979) was an American actor, comedian, theatrical agent, and engineer. He was the youngest of the five Marx Brothers and also the last to die. He appeared in the first five Marx Brothers feature films, from 1929 to 1933, but then left the act to start his second career as an engineer and theatrical agent.

Zeppo was born in Manhattan, New York City, on February 25, 1901. His parents were Sam Marx (called "Frenchie" throughout his life), and his wife, Minnie Schönberg Marx. Minnie's brother was Al Shean, who later gained fame as half of the vaudeville team Gallagher and Shean. Marx's family was Jewish. His mother was from East Frisia in Germany; and his father was a native of France, and worked as a tailor.

As with all of the Marx Brothers, different theories exist as to where Zeppo got his stage name: Groucho said in his Carnegie Hall concert in 1972 that the name was derived from the Zeppelin airship. Zeppo's ex-wife Barbara Sinatra repeated this in her 2011 book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life with Frank. His brother Harpo offered a different account in his 1961 autobiography, Harpo Speaks!, claiming (p. 130) that there was a popular trained chimpanzee named Mr. Zippo, and that "Herbie" was tagged with the name "Zippo" because he liked to do chinups and acrobatics, as the chimp did in its act. The youngest brother objected to this nickname, and it was altered to "Zeppo". Another version of this story was that his name was changed to "Zeppo" in honor of the then popular "Zepplin". In a much later TV interview, Zeppo said that Zep is Italian-American slang for baby and as Zeppo was the youngest or baby Marx Brother, he was called Zeppo (BBC Archives).

Zeppo replaced brother Gummo in the Marx Brothers' stage act when the latter joined the army in 1918. Zeppo remained with the team and appeared in their successes in vaudeville, on Broadway, and the first five Marx Brothers films, as a straight man and romantic lead, before leaving the team. He also made a solo appearance in the Adolphe Menjou comedy A Kiss in the Dark, as Herbert Marx. It was described in newspaper reviews as a minor role.

In Lady Blue Eyes, Barbara Sinatra, Zeppo's second wife, reported that Zeppo was considered too young to perform with his brothers, and when Gummo joined the Army, Zeppo was asked to join the act as a last-minute stand-in at a show in Texas. Zeppo was supposed to go out that night with a Jewish friend of his. They were supposed to take out two Irish girls, but Zeppo had to cancel to board the train to Texas. His friend went ahead and went on the date, and was shot a few hours later when he was attacked by an Irish gang that disapproved of a Jew dating an Irish girl.

As the youngest and having grown up watching his brothers, Zeppo could fill in for and imitate any of the others when illness kept them from performing. Groucho suffered from appendicitis during the Broadway run of Animal Crackers and Zeppo filled in for him as Captain Spaulding.

"He was so good as Captain Spaulding in Animal Crackers that I would have let him play the part indefinitely, if they had allowed me to smoke in the audience", Groucho recalled. However, a comic persona of his own that could stand up against those of his brothers did not emerge. As critic Percy Hammond wrote, sympathetically, in 1928:

One of the handicaps to the thorough enjoyment of the Marx Brothers in their merry escapades is the plight of poor Zeppo Marx. While Groucho, Harpo, and Chico are hogging the show, as the phrase has it, their brother hides in an insignificant role, peeping out now and then to listen to plaudits in which he has no share.

Though Zeppo continued to play it straight in the Brothers' movies for Paramount Pictures, he occasionally got to be part of classic comedy moments in them—in particular, his role in the famous dictation scene with Groucho in Animal Crackers (1930). He also played a pivotal role as the love interest of Ruth Hall's character in Monkey Business (1931) and of Thelma Todd's in Horse Feathers (1932).

The popular assumption that Zeppo's character was superfluous was fueled in part by Groucho. According to Groucho's own story, when the group became the Three Marx Brothers, the studio wanted to trim their collective salary, and Groucho replied, "We're twice as funny without Zeppo!"

Zeppo had great mechanical skills and was largely responsible for keeping the Marx family car running. He later owned a company that machined parts for the war effort during World War II, Marman Products Co. of Inglewood, California, later acquired by the Aeroquip Company. This company produced a motorcycle, called the Marman Twin, and the Marman clamps used to hold the "Fat Man" atomic bomb inside the B-29 bomber Bockscar.[citation needed] He invented and obtained several patents for a wristwatch that monitored the pulse rate of cardiac patients and gave off an alarm if the heartbeat became irregular, and a therapeutic pad for delivering moist heat to a patient.

He also founded a large theatrical agency with his brother Gummo. During his time as a theatrical agent, Zeppo and Gummo, primarily Gummo, represented their brothers, among many others.

On April 12, 1927, Zeppo married Marion Bimberg Benda.[15] The couple adopted two children, Timothy and Thomas, in 1944 and 1945, and later divorced on May 12, 1954. On September 18, 1959, Marx married Barbara Blakeley, whose son, Bobby Oliver, he wanted to adopt and give his surname, but Bobby's father would not allow it. Bobby simply started using the last name "Marx".

Blakeley wrote in her book, Lady Blue Eyes, that Zeppo never made her convert to Judaism. Blakeley was of Methodist faith and said that Zeppo told her she became Jewish by "injection".

Blakeley also wrote in her book that Zeppo wanted to keep her son out of the picture, adding a room for him onto his estate, which was more of a guest house, as it was separated from the main residence. It was also decided that Blakeley's son would go to military school, which according to Blakeley, pleased Zeppo.

Zeppo owned a house on Halper Lake Drive in Rancho Mirage, California, which was built off the fairway of the Tamarisk Country Club. The Tamarisk Club had been set up by the Jewish community, which rivaled the gentile club called The Thunderbird. His neighbor happened to be Frank Sinatra. Zeppo later attended the Hillcrest Country Club with friends such as Sinatra, George Burns, Jack Benny, Danny Kaye, Sid Caesar, and Milton Berle.

Blakeley became involved with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and had arranged to show Spartacus (featuring Kirk Douglas) for charity, selling tickets, and organizing a postscreening ball. At the last minute, Blakeley was told she could not have the film, so Zeppo went to the country club and spoke to Sinatra, who agreed to let him have an early release of a film he had just finished named Come Blow Your Horn. Sinatra also flew everyone involved to Palm Springs for the event.

Zeppo was a very jealous and possessive husband, and hated for Blakeley to talk to other men. Blakeley claimed that Zeppo grabbed Victor Rothschild by the throat at a country club because she was talking to him. Blakeley had caught Zeppo on many occasions with other women; the biggest incident was a party Zeppo had thrown on his yacht. After the incident, Zeppo took Blakeley to Europe, and accepted more invitations to parties when they arrived back in the States. Some of these parties were at Sinatra's compound; he often invited Blakeley and Zeppo to his house two or three times a week. Sinatra would also send champagne or wine to their home, as a nice gesture.

Blakeley and Sinatra began a love affair, unbeknownst to Zeppo. The press eventually got wind of the affair, snapping photos of Blakely and Sinatra together, or asking Blakeley questions whenever they spotted her. Both Sinatra and she denied the affair.

Zeppo and Blakeley divorced in 1973. Zeppo let Blakeley keep the 1969 Jaguar he had bought her, and agreed to pay her $1,500 (equivalent to $8,600 in 2019) per month for 10 years. Sinatra upgraded Blakeley's Jaguar to the latest model. Sinatra also gave her a house to live in. The house had belonged to Eden Hartford, Groucho Marx's third wife. Blakeley and Sinatra continued to date, and were constantly hounded by the press until the divorce between Zeppo and Blakeley became final. Blakeley and Sinatra were married in 1976.

Zeppo became ill with cancer in 1978. He sold his home, and moved to a house on the fairway off Frank Sinatra Drive. The doctors thought the cancer had gone into remission, but it returned. Zeppo called Blakeley, who accompanied him to doctor's appointments. Zeppo spent his last days with Blakeley's family.

The last surviving Marx Brother, Zeppo died of lung cancer at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage on November 30, 1979, at the age of 78. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.

In his will, Zeppo left Bobby Marx a few possessions and enough money to finish law school. Both Sinatra and Blakeley attended his funeral.

Secure Your Ideas with Provisional Patent Filing Services

Safeguarding Innovation: A Guide to Provisional Patent Filing Services

Innovation drives progress, making it essential to protect your intellectual property (IP) from the outset. Whether you are an individual inventor or a business, securing your ideas is crucial in today's competitive environment. For those not yet ready to file a full patent application, provisional patent filing services provide a strategic, cost-effective solution. These services not only protect your ideas but also set the stage for long-term patent acquisition.

In this guide, we��ll explore the benefits, steps, and reasons for choosing provisional patent service in Texas, along with how partnering with professionals like Affordable Patent Agency can simplify the process.

What Are Provisional Patent Applications?

A provisional patent application (PPA) is a simplified, temporary patent filing that grants inventors a 12-month window to refine their invention and file a complete, non-provisional patent application. This process establishes an early filing date, a critical factor in the "first-to-file" patent system.

Unlike non-provisional applications, PPAs require fewer formalities. They don’t mandate detailed technical specifications or formal patent claims, but they must describe the invention sufficiently to meet the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requirements.

Benefits of Provisional Patent Filing Services

Choosing provisional patent service in Texas offers several advantages for inventors:

Cost-Effective Option

Filing a provisional patent is less expensive than a full patent application, making it an excellent choice for startups, small businesses, and individual inventors.

Simplified and Faster Process

With minimal documentation requirements, the process is streamlined, allowing inventors to file quickly while avoiding the complexities of a non-provisional application.

Secures an Early Filing Date

A provisional patent ensures your priority in the patent filing system, protecting your invention during the 12-month window and deterring potential competitors.

Flexibility for Refinement

The 12-month period allows you to develop and refine your invention, ensuring it is market-ready before filing a complete application.

"Patent Pending" Status

Once filed, you can market your invention with the "patent pending" label, adding legitimacy and deterring potential imitators.

Steps to File a Provisional Patent Application

To ensure a smooth filing process, follow these essential steps:

Document Your Invention

Prepare a detailed description, including:

Explanations of its functionality

Drawings, diagrams, or photos

Technical specifications

Conduct a Patent Search

Verify the novelty of your invention to avoid potential conflicts with existing patents.

Draft the Application

Include a comprehensive description, drawings (if applicable), the invention's title, and inventor names.

Submit to the USPTO

File your application with the required fee, securing an official filing date and application number.

Prepare for Non-Provisional Filing

File a complete patent application within 12 months to maintain your priority date.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

Errors during the filing process can jeopardize your IP rights. Common pitfalls include:

Insufficient Description: Ensure your application includes enough detail for experts in the field to replicate your invention.

Missing the 12-Month Deadline: Failing to file a non-provisional patent within the allotted time forfeits your priority date.

Neglecting Expert Guidance: Without professional input, applications may lack critical details or fail to meet USPTO standards.

Why Choose Professional Provisional Patent Filing Services?

While filing a provisional patent may seem straightforward, working with experts ensures comprehensive and error-free applications. Professionals bring:

Thorough Documentation: Every aspect of your invention is accurately documented.

Legal Expertise: Guidance in meeting USPTO requirements and navigating the process.

Strategic Advice: Insights into your invention's commercial potential and next steps.

15 Curious Facts About Cincinnati’s Spring Grove Cemetery

Superman Is Not Buried In Spring Grove

The earthly remains of George Reeves, the actor who played Superman on television during the 1950s, were held in a vault at Spring Grove Cemetery for a couple of months in 1959 while his mother sorted out what to do. Although she wanted a mausoleum in Cincinnati, it proved impracticable. Reeves’ body was cremated here and the ashes shipped to California.

Civil War Generals: Forty To One

Spring Grove Cemetery provides a list of forty Civil War generals buried within the grounds. Among them are distinguished names such as Cox, Hooker, Lytle and McCook. The cemetery’s official list does not include the single Confederate general buried there, Philip Noland Luckett of Texas, who was appointed as acting Brigadier General in June of 1863..

Fraternities Forced Pledges To Break Into The Cemetery

Isaac M. Jordan met his gruesome death in 1890 by falling down an open elevator shaft at the Lincoln Inn Court on Main Street. He was a hugely successful businessman and politician, but was famous because he helped create Sigma Chi fraternity. Well into the 1970s, Sigma Chi pledges were ordered to sneak in to Spring Grove Cemetery, record the inscription on Jordan’s tomb, and report back by dawn.

Spring Grove Once Had A Jail

The Norman Chapel was built in 1880 and originally housed a jail in the basement. A jail cell still survives, but is used today for storage. When it was functional, vagrants and reckless drivers – originally of horse-drawn carriages, later of automobiles – speeding in the cemetery were arrested and kept overnight. Cemetery watchmen were deputized by the county sheriff to enforce the law.

C.C. Breuer Was Not An Optometrist

Almost every article, book or blog post about weird Cincinnati sites directs readers to Charles C. Breuer’s grave in Spring Grove Cemetery. Breuer’s gravestone features a bronze bust of himself, with glass eyes that some folks swear follow them as they move. Most sources claim Breuer emphasized the eyes because of his career as an optometrist. Not true. Breuer was a salesman, commission agent and real estate investor. He married three times, disowned his own daughters, tried to blow up a one of his own buildings, was declared insane and died in a mental hospital – but he was not an optometrist.

At Least One Man Visited By Telescope

George K. Shoenberger built the magnificent Scarlet Oaks mansion in Clifton for his wife, Sarah Hamilton Shoenberger in 1867. When she died in 1881 he had a magnificent vault constructed for their eternal rest. Shoenberger remarried, in 1883, to a young Canadian woman named Ella Beatty. Still, he sighed for Sarah, and often climbed into one of the Scarlet Oaks turrets to gaze upon her (their) tomb with a telescope. Legend has it that Ella had enough one day and locked George in his turret. When he died in 1892, he and Sarah were reunited at Spring Grove, while Ella remarried a Canadian composer.

Spring Grove Has Its Own Water Supply

It’s called Spring Grove because the cemetery grounds are watered by several natural springs. Spring water is stored in a reservoir tower located near the north gate. The tower is not only picturesque but  functional, providing a consistent supply of water.

It Almost Wasn’t Called Spring Grove

A meeting in November 1844 to choose a name for the new cemetery adjourned when none of the suggested names attracted a majority of votes. Losing candidates were Cincinnati Rural, Makketewah, Machpelah, Rose Hill, Shade Land, Oakland, Mount Hope, Rose Dale, Fair Lawn, Miami, Walnut Dale, Silent Hill, Cincinnati Cemetery, The Elms, and Rosamont. A second meeting produced Green Vale, Mount Repose, Hope Land, Glen Wood, Willow Glen, Oakland Valley, Elmwood, Hazelwood and Spring Grove.

Spring Grove Is Home To Several ‘Ladies Of The Evening”

There are at least 16 prostitutes or madams buried in Spring Grove Cemetery. While none are identified as such on the cemetery’s burial records,  cross-indexing with Cincinnati's death records and newspaper accounts confirm that prostitutes, "harlots," and "sports" are buried there. Some rest in common, unmarked areas, some in family plots. In other words, the women listed here are not all buried together. There is no concentrated "Red Light" district in the cemetery.

Its Ghost Stories Are Lame

For a cemetery this big, this old, and this scenic, Spring Grove has inspired few spooky stories. One involves the Dexter Mausoleum, inspired by a Gothic church overlooking one of the cemetery’s picturesque lakes. Supposedly, if you sit on the landing of this tomb, two white dogs will run by. Or two white wolves. Maybe their eyes glow red. Sources differ. They will stare at you, glowing bright white, or maybe not. In any event, not very spooky.

For Some “Residents,” Spring Grove Is Their Third Resting Place

Perhaps a thousand or more Spring Grove “residents” died years, even decades, before the cemetery was opened in 1845. How is this possible? Cincinnati’s first burial grounds were located at the original outskirts of town, around Fourth Street. As the city expanded, the dead were relocated to more remote graveyards, such as the area where Washington Park is now located. The “new” confines quickly filled during the cholera epidemics of the 1830s and 1840s, and many of the burials were relocated again, to Spring Grove.

Spring Grove Banned Automobiles

Cincinnati funeral homes maintained horse-drawn hearses for a long time after motorized vehicles became available because no Cincinnati cemetery permitted automobiles to disturb the silence. Spring Grove finally relented in April 1911 and allowed motor cars, except on Sunday afternoons, but only if motorist followed strict regulations. Spring Grove finally replaced its own horse-drawn carriage with an automobile in 1915.

Headstones Have Always Been Controversial

In 1850, when David B. Lawler, among the founders of Spring Grove, attempted to place a sphinx in his family plot, some directors objected to the “heathen” symbolism, but it was eventually allowed. Ten years later, Alexander Latta, inventor of the fire engine, unveiled a headstone design with his invention sculpted on top. Spring Grove rejected the design as too commercial. As recently as 2014, Spring Grove found itself in a dispute over a couple of Spongebob Squarepants headstones.

At Least One Burial Is Not Human

According to the Enquirer [8 December 1905], a dog named Old Man is interred next to his late master, George E. Turner. Mr. Turner was quite attached to his canine companion, a dog allegedly skilled at mathematics, particularly adept at sorting correct change on command. Although cemetery rules prohibit animal burials, Superintendent William Salway was a good friend of Turner. As Turner lay on his deathbed, Salway agreed that, when the dog’s time came, he could rejoin his earthly master.

Spring Grove Holds A Patent On A Tree

The white flowering dogwood tree (

Cornus florida

) is susceptible to a nasty fungus. The horticulture team at Spring Grove Cemetery bred a cultivar or variant of this species that appears to withstand fungal infection while producing abundant flowers and tolerance for hot and cold temperatures. Patent PP8500 was awarded in 1993.
