Rocheford & Gould were brick manufacturers and construction contractors in early Omaha, Nebraska. The firm built numerous brick structures during Omaha's transition from the wooden buildings of Nebraska's territorial days to more permanent structures.

History
William Rocheford was born in St. Albans, Vermont on February 22, 1851. As the son of a mason, Rocheford learned the construction trade early. Shortly after arriving in Omaha in 1879, Rocheford went to work with Henry Livesey, a brickmaker and contractor. In 1880, Rocheford entered the brickmaking and general contracting business with Frank P. Gould, a native of New York. Their new firm, Rocheford & Gould, established a brickyard at Thirteenth and Frederick Streets in Omaha, Nebraska. By 1892 it was reported that the firm's kilns were making 50,000 bricks a day. In 1918, Herman Kritenbrink leased the operation. The brickyard was abandoned in 1928 when the clay ran out. Finally in 1945, the 125-foot smokestack was demolished in a controlled blast after the Omaha Street Commissioner deemed it a nuisance and ordered its removal.
Gould's most significant contribution to evolutionary biology was the theory of punctuated equilibrium, which he developed with Niles Eldredge in 1972. The theory proposes that most evolution is marked by long periods of evolutionary stability, which is punctuated by rare instances of branching evolution. The theory was contrasted against phyletic gradualism, the popular idea that evolutionary change is marked by a pattern of smooth and continuous change in the fossil record.
Gould is the remnant of a lunarcrater formation that lies in the midst of the Mare Nubium, in the southwest quadrant of the Moon. It is located to the east-northeast of the prominent crater Bullialdus, and south of the crater remnant Opelt.
This crater has been flooded by basalticlava, and only segments of the outer rim still project above the surface of the lunar mare. The most intact section of the rim is the western quadrant, which now forms a curved ridge. There is a shorter segment of surviving rim to the northeast, which is bisected by the crater Gould P. Only small, low ridges remain to outline the original crater to the north and southeast, and the southern rim has been completely destroyed.
A catena, or chain of tiny craters, forms a line running from the southern part of the crater floor towards the eastern part. The craters are probably secondaries from Bullialdus.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Gould.
Glenn Gould plays Bach - The Goldberg Variations, BMV 998 (Zenph re-performance)
Description from Zenph's website:
Glenn Gould's debut album of Bach's Goldberg Variations was recorded in June 1955. The Columbia LP quickly became one of the most revered piano recordings ever made and Gould became the most famous classical artist of the day. His exciting, unorthodox new way of playing Bach left listeners awestruck and critics around the world hailing him as a genius. But until recently this iconic album was limited by the dated recording technology of its time.
On September 25, 2006, history was made again. Zenph Studios recorded its debut re-performance® to standing ovations in the CBC's famed Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. The date would have been Glenn Gould's 74th birthday, and what a gift Zenph created to give his fans.
The Zenph re-performance is a revelation ...

Glenn Gould and Leonard Bernstein: Bach's Keyboard Concerto No. 1 (I) in D minor (BWV 1052)
This clip is absolutely sensational: as education, composition and in performance.
Glenn Gould was 28 years old here.
For the impatient, Gould's performance begins at 5:08, but I strongly encourage you to watch Leonard Bernstein's fascinating introduction.
This film originally aired in 1960 on CBS Television as part of its "Ford Presents" series.
The entire film in high quality (of which this clip is a small part) was painstakingly hunted down by YouTuber erp65 and his friends. It can be found here, and I urge you, I really DO urge you, to see it in its entirety:

I have sought erp65's permission to cross-post, as a courtesy, but I have not yet heard back. Meanwhile, my abject enthusiasm got the better of me.
This film has to be promulgated far and wide...

Rocheford & Gould were brick manufacturers and construction contractors in early Omaha, Nebraska. The firm built numerous brick structures during Omaha's transition from the wooden buildings of Nebraska's territorial days to more permanent structures. The buildings the firm built included breweries, schools, packing houses, business blocks, Vaudeville theaters, street car barns and power houses, and civic buildings. Many of the structures the firm built have been demolished but a few of their earliest structures still exist and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
History
William Rocheford was born in St. Albans, Vermont on February 22, 1851. As the son of a mason, Rocheford learned the construction trade early. Shortly after arriving in Omaha in 1879, Rocheford went to work with Henry Livesey, a brickmaker and contractor. In 1880, Rocheford entered the brickmaking and general contracting business with Frank P. Gould, a native of New York. Their new firm, Rocheford & Gould, established a brickyard at Thirteenth and Frederick Streets in Omaha, Nebraska. By 1892 it was reported that the firm's kilns were making 50,000 bricks a day. In 1918, Herman Kritenbrink leased the operation. The brickyard was abandoned in 1928 when the clay ran out. Finally in 1945, the 125-foot smokestack was demolished in a controlled blast after the Omaha Street Commissioner deemed it a nuisance and ordered its removal.
