Providence Healthcare (Toronto) | Short description | Providence Healthcare is a hospital and long-term care centre in Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It specializes in physical therapy for patients who have experienced strokes, orthopaedic surgery, or lower limb amputation. |
Providence Healthcare (Toronto) | History | History
right|thumb|Toronto's original House of Providence, circa 1857
Providence Healthcare's Catholic legacy dates back to 1857 when the Sisters of St. Joseph founded the original House of Providence. The original site of the House of Providence was on Power Street in downtown Toronto, which is now the Don Valley Parkway exit to Adelaide and Richmond Streets. At that location, the House of Providence hit a peak of 700 people they were providing accommodations for. Among them were the most vulnerable in society.
Providence moved to its current location in 1962. The location is a former farm owned by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Once the facility changed its location it began to focus on residential care for the elderly and sick. Along with this, the name House of Providence changed to Providence Villa and Hospital. The name was changed once again to Providence Centre so it would better reflect its diversity of services, not only to residents and patients but the entire community.
The Sisters of St. Joseph sponsored Providence Centre up until 1998 when the Catholic Health Corporation of Ontario assumed sponsorship.
The name was changed once again in 2004 to Providence Healthcare.
On 1 August 2017, Providence Healthcare merged with St. Joseph's Health Centre and St. Michael's Hospital to form Unity Health Toronto. |
Providence Healthcare (Toronto) | Services | Services
Programs and services are provided through three Integrated Care Divisions: Providence Hospital, one of Ontario's largest rehabilitation and complex continuing care facilities; the Cardinal Ambrozic Houses of Providence, a long-term care facility for 288 residents; and Providence Community Centre, specializing in community clinics, caregiver support, education and neighbourhood outreach programs, such as Adult Day Program and the Tamil Caregiver Project.

John Chesshyre | Short description | Sir John Chesshyre (11 November 1662 – 15 May 1738) was an English lawyer who rose to the position of king's first serjeant. |
John Chesshyre | Family background | Family background
thumb|Hallwood, Chesshyre's birthplace
Sir John Chesshyre was born at Hallwood, Runcorn, Cheshire, the son of Thomas and Catherine Chesshyre. Thomas Chesshyre was Bailiff of the Lordship of Halton and Whitley. The family had been Royalists in the Civil War and they had sustained severe financial penalties when the Parliamentarians were ruling the country. |
John Chesshyre | Legal career | Legal career
John Chesshyre was admitted to Gray's Inn in 1682 and called to the bar there in 1689. In 1705 he accepted the degree of serjeant-at-law. He became one of the crown counsel as queen's sergeant in 1711 and was knighted in 1713. In 1727, he was declared the king's first serjeant. His profession made him a wealthy man; in the six years from 1719 he earned an average income of over £3,000 a year, making him one of the highest earning counsels practising in Westminster Hall. In 1725, he reduced his practice, confining it to the Court of Common Pleas, thus reducing his annual income to an average of £1,300. |
John Chesshyre | Personal life | Personal life
For most of his professional life he lived in London, either in his house in Isleworth, which was then in Middlesex, or in his other home in Essex Street, off the Strand, or in his chambers in the Inner Temple. His death in 1738 was sudden and the Gentleman's Magazine stated that he "was worth £100,000 all acquired by the Law". He had expressed a wish to be buried in Runcorn parish church but he wanted "no lying in state nor pompous train of coaches into Cheshire nor any unnecessary attendance". Nevertheless, his funeral procession took five days to travel from Isleworth to Runcorn and his funeral expenses amounted to over £350. There is a monument to his memory in Runcorn parish church but this is now out of sight behind the organ. His papers are deposited at Chetham's Library, Manchester.
Sir John's first wife died in London in 1705 and was buried in Runcorn. In 1706 he married Ann Lawley who outlived him to die in 1756. His brother, Robert Chesshyre, was vicar of Runcorn and he died in 1739.

In 1733, Chesshyre built one of the earliest free libraries in England at Halton and left an endowment in his will for its maintenance. The library had 400 books which were mainly ecclesiastical histories and works of law. The library was intended for the incumbent of Halton and "for any divine or divines of the Church of England or other gentlemen or persons of letters". Chesshyre also built the vicarage in Halton in 1739 and endowed the curacy there. |

Mass Uprising Day | '''Mass Uprising Day''' | Mass Uprising Day () is observed in Bangladesh on 24 January to mark the 1969 East Pakistan mass uprising, the climax of the movement of the people of the then East Pakistan for autonomy in 1969 that eventually led to the Independence War and emergence of Bangladesh in 1971.
thumb|A student procession at the University of Dhaka campus during the mass uprising of 1969.
On this day in 1969 Matiur Rahman Mallik, a standard IX student of the Nabakumar Institution, and Rustam Ali, a rickshaw-puller, were killed in police fire on demonstrators in Dhaka as the Pakistani rulers desperately tried to suppress the popular uprising. The killings sparked off intense protests across the country that eventually saw the fall of the Ayub regime.
It is said by politicians that the day teaches Bangladeshis the values of democracy and to protest against oppression. |

Mining throughout the area ceased as the railroads replaced steam locomotives with diesel, and the town was quickly abandoned. Almost nothing remains of Mountain Park today, except for a restored cemetery and a few remnants of the mine. At its peak, the town was home to about 1,500 residents.
Mountain Park was the site of another coal mining operation, the Cheviot Mine, which opened in 2005 despite environmental opposition. Cheviot was operated by Teck Coal Ltd. and produced coking coal for export to Japanese steel mills. It closed in 2020 due to declining coal reserves. |

Benny Brunner | short description | Benny Brunner (; born 1954) is an Israeli-Dutch filmmaker, born in Bârlad, Romania and based in Amsterdam since 1986. He studied film at Tel Aviv University. Since the late 1980s, Brunner has written, directed and produced films about the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including The Concrete Curtain, It Is No Dream, Al-Nakba and The Great Book Robbery, films about Jewish history like The Seventh Million, and films concerning the modern history of the Middle East. He describes himself as "a veteran leftist" and his political films take the side of the 'other'. Brunner has worked in the Middle East, Europe, South Africa, and the United States. In addition to winning a special commendation by the Prix Europa for A Philosopher for All Seasons in 1991, his films have been screened at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, the Jerusalem Film Festival, the San Diego Jewish Film Festival, and numerous international, human rights and Jewish film festivals. |
Benny Brunner | Early life | Early life
Born in Romania, Benny Brunner immigrated to Israel at age five. According to Guernica Magazine, Brunner's early memories include political shouting matches between his father and uncle. He was raised by socialist parents who supported David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel. While in Beer Sheva, he was a Labour supporter. The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival has stated that Brunner's mother, Clara, wanted him to study law, but he was 'too smart for his own good', and thought that being a filmmaker would be lucrative and provide him an opportunity to travel. Brunner studied film at Tel Aviv University at the Ramat Aviv campus in the Katz Faculty of the Arts' Department of Film and Television. Brunner served in the Israeli Defense Forces and is a veteran of the Yom Kippur War, during which he began to view the Israeli narrative he had learned in school as "legends of nation building." The change in his view of Zionism was at first difficult for his family to accept. |
Benny Brunner | Career | Career
Brunner left Israel in 1986 for an opportunity to make political films. He briefly stayed in London where he did freelance work during the Thatcher era. Brunner moved to the Netherlands later that year. |
Benny Brunner | ''A Philosopher for All Seasons'' (1990) | A Philosopher for All Seasons (1990)
Brunner's most significant early work is a tribute to then-living Yeshayahu Leibowitz. It explores in particular the impact of Leibowitz's answer to the question of how one may determine who is Jewish. The film won a Taurus trophy for special commendation in Non-Fiction at the Prix Europa in 1991. |
Benny Brunner | ''The Seventh Million'' (1995) | The Seventh Million (1995)
Based on historian Tom Segev's book of the same name, The Seventh Million explores the dilemma of Shoah survivors in finding a place in the newly established State of Israel. The film was initially considered too controversial to be aired on Israeli state television. Brunner collaborated with the historian to find images to accompany the text. He researched archives and propaganda footage. In reaction to Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List, Brunner resolved to make a movie which was descriptive rather than dramatic. The film shows how Holocaust survivors reacted to their treatment in Israeli society by hiding tattoos received in Nazi concentration camps and responding with depression and resentment. The title and narrative are meant to portray the lasting effects of the Holocaust on modern Israeli life. |

thumb|right|Benny Brunner and historian Benny Morris during filming of Al-Nakba
Brunner describes a "watershed moment" he experienced in 1988 after reading The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949 by Benny Morris, whereupon he envisioned making the book into a film. This was the impetus for his conception of Al-Nakba: The Palestinian Catastrophe 1948, the first documentary film to examine the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians during the birth of the state of Israel. Brunner toured with Al-Nakba to discuss the subject with audiences in Israel and San Francisco. |
Benny Brunner | ''The Concrete Curtain'' (2004) | The Concrete Curtain (2004)
The film follows his own film The Wall (2003) as further documentation of the West Bank wall and the difficulties imposed upon Palestinians. Variety noted the film for its Kafkaesque absurdism and dark humor. |
Benny Brunner | ''The Great Book Robbery'' (2011) | The Great Book Robbery (2011)
While shooting State of Suspension in 2008, Brunner stated that he read Salvage or Plunder? Israel's "Collection" of Private Palestinian Libraries in West Jerusalem by Gish Amit. He was "stunned" at the appropriation of 70,000 books by the State of Israel during the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight as significant to the loss of Palestinian cultural heritage and decided to make a film on the topic. About 6,000 of these books continue to be held today at National Library of Israel where they are labeled as "Abandoned Property". |
Benny Brunner | Views | Views
Brunner self-describes as a former Zionist who sympathizes with the Palestinian people. According to Guernica, Israeli Cabinet Minister Uzi Landau accused him of "being part of an Israeli left fanning the flames of 'Jew-hatred' in Europe." Ginger Foot Films has stated that Brunner "does not believe in neutrality, balance or objectivity in documentary filmmaking, especially when state power is used to dominate the occupied, underprivileged, or the 'other'." |
Benny Brunner | Personal life | Personal life
Brunner still visits the Middle East two to three times a year. Guernica said his visits are a source of creative inspiration. |

Baron Munchausen's Dream | Infobox film
| Baron Munchausen's Dream (), also known as Les Aventures de baron de Munchausen and Monsieur le Baron a trop bien dîné, is a 1911 French short silent film in the fantasy film genre, directed by Georges Méliès. |
Baron Munchausen's Dream | Synopsis | Synopsis
After an evening of entertaining guests with lavish food and drink, a drunk Baron Munchausen is carried to his bed, underneath a huge Rococo mirror. He soon drifts into heavy sleep, only to experience a variety of disturbing and otherworldly dreams. An idyllic scene of couples dancing in a park gives way to a violent tableau of Ancient Egyptian design; the Three Graces, standing in classical poses, become three frog-like monsters and then three halberdiers.
Awaking briefly, the Baron checks his reflection in a mirror to ensure all is well, then drifts back into dreams: his bed seems to dance about in an Orientalist landscape, and then it is attacked by giant grasshopper and a clown. Believing himself to be awake, the Baron approaches a fountain attended by women, who then make snow pour down upon him. They are replaced by a mythic figure who disappears down a well. The Baron next dreams himself in Hell, attacked by demons, a dragon, and a spider woman, and then outside a garrison where soldiers are shooting at him.
Finally back in his room, and again thinking he has woken up, the Baron finds himself attacked by a grinning Man in the Moon who transforms into a bespectacled elephant. Lifting a heavy piece of furniture, the Baron hurls it toward the dreams, breaking the mirror and sending him falling down into the outdoors, where he is hooked on an iron fence and has to be rescued. A final scene shows the Baron, much the worse for his experience, attended by servants. |
Baron Munchausen's Dream | Production | Production
Méliès greatly admired the Baron Munchausen stories created by Rudolf Erich Raspe, and may have used them as inspiration for his celebrated film A Trip to the Moon. However, Baron Munchausen's Dream has little in common with the Baron character or his traditional adventures.
The film was one of six commissioned from Méliès by the studio Pathé Frères; Méliès made the film in his Star Film Company studio, relying on Pathé to distribute it. The closely framed medium shot at the beginning of the film, an unusual setup for Méliès, probably indicates Pathé's influence. Similarly, the film's pace, extremely relaxed by Méliès's standards, may point to outside pressure to make the film run longer.
The scenery, painted in detail on two-dimensional backgrounds and cutouts, was created by a frequent Méliès collaborator, Charles Claudel. It was filmed in Méliès's glass studios, except for the outdoors scene near the end of the film, which was shot outside the Méliès house nearby. Many of the props are recycled from Méliès's earlier films, such as an elaborate dragon puppet from the 1906 fantasy The Witch. Effects in the film were created using stage machinery, pyrotechnics, substitution splices, and dissolves.
The mirror sequence in the film is based on a routine that had long been popular in music halls. The effect was not produced with a real mirror, which would have reflected the studio windows and the camera; instead, there were two actors on the set, one of whom mimicked the other's gestures from the opposite side of the imaginary "glass." The comedian Max Linder revived the mirror routine in his 1921 film Seven Years Bad Luck. |
Baron Munchausen's Dream | Release | Release
The film's original title is Les Hallucinations du baron de Münchausen; it is also known as Les Aventures de baron de Munchhausen, and is known in English as Baron Munchausen's Dream. Though the film was commissioned by Pathé Frères, it is unclear whether the studio ever actually released it.
The film was shown in a cinema, possibly for the first time, in 1943; the exhibitor was André Robert, who obtained permission for the screenings from Méliès's widow, Jehanne d'Alcy. Because Münchhausen, a German film about the Baron, was then playing in Paris theaters, Robert changed the title of the Méliès film to Monsieur le Baron a trop bien dîné. An original orchestral score for the film was written and recorded by Marius-François Gaillard. Robert donated his print of the film to the Méliès family. |
