This Man Must Die | Background | Background
This Man Must Die opened in French cinemas on 5 September 1969, achieving a total of 1,092,910 admissions in the domestic market.
The Johannes Brahms song "Denn es gehet dem Menschen wie dem Vieh" from his Vier ernste Gesänge, eponymous for the film's title and used as a recurring motif, is sung by Kathleen Ferrier. |
This Man Must Die | Reception | Reception
Writing for The New York Times upon the film's opening in New York, critic Roger Greenspun gave This Man Must Die a positive, though in parts restrained review. While calling it "surely one of the best new movies" which "adds wonderful moment to wonderful moment" and features "an idiomatic performance" by Jean Yanne, Greenspun also notes a shedding of "ironic strangeness" and a move towards the direct and sentimental in Chabrol's methods, and an ending whose images fall behind the director's usual technical capabilities. Roger Ebert gives the film 4 out of 4 stars, calling it "a macabre, bizarre study of the hazards of revenge, and it thrills us not with chases or cliff-hangers.... but with the relationship between good and evil people.... In the end, that's what makes Chabrol so fascinating. In being as concerned with the nuances of daily life as he is with the vast fact of murder, he makes the murder itself more horrible, and the revenge more ambiguous." |

San Nicolás (Pamplona borough) | notability | San Nicolás (Saint Nicolas in English) is one of the three boroughs that merged in 1423 to form the modern city of Pamplona (Iruña in Basque). The others were Navarrería (the original Navarrese town) and San Cernin. |
San Nicolás (Pamplona borough) | Situation | Situation
San Nicolás limits to the north with the Navarrería borough, to the south with Paseo Sarasate (Sarasate Boulevard), on the east bounds on Plaza del Castillo (Castle Square) and to the west with the Parque de la Taconera (Taconera Park). |
San Nicolás (Pamplona borough) | History | History
San Nicolás was founded in the 12th century by a group of weavers and turners. The new borough was initially called Tencerías (from the old Romance word Tencero, Weaver). In 1366, when the first census of the city was completed, there were 29 families living there. However, population grew quickly and in 1427 there were 64 families living there.
In 1423, some namesake streets existed, but in different boroughs. There were two or three High Streets, Carpenters' Street, Butchers' Street, Shoemakers' Street and some more. The reason for that lies in the fact that streets were named after the shops and businesses operating in them. San Nicolás was home to the oldest streets, since Navarrería had been totally destroyed during the War of the Boroughs (1276), and San Cernin did not go unscathed either, with many buildings, streets and churches ruined. Therefore, the king Charles III of Navarre decided to change the names of the streets in Navarrería and San Cernin.
Pablo de Sarasate, a famous violinist, was born in San Nicolás Street, where a tributary plaque in his honour can be found. |

Dewan Prem Chand | Use dmy dates | Lieutenant General Dewan Prem Chand, PVSM (14 June 1916 – 3 November 2003) was an Indian Army officer. He served as Force Commander of United Nations peacekeeping missions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cyprus, Namibia and Zimbabwe. |
Dewan Prem Chand | Early life | Early life
Dewan Prem Chand was born on 14 June 1916 in Muzaffargarh, British India, to Dewan Khem Chand and his wife, members of a wealthy Punjabi dewan family. After an initial education at the Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, he studied at the Government College University in Lahore. In late 1934 Chand enrolled in the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun, where he performed well academically. While on holiday in Srinagar, Chand and some of his fellow cadets attempted to go swimming in one of the local lakes, which was marked with signs reading "No Indians Allowed" and "Europeans Only", only to be turned away by white boatmen. The following day they rode shikaras into the lake. When the boatmen attempted to stop them, the cadets boarded their craft and threw them into the water. Other boaters converged and fought with the cadets until an elderly man intervened. Chand and his comrades left after removing the segregationist signs and extracting an assurance that they could swim in the lake.
Chand was commissioned into the British Indian Army in 1937. He was attached to the 1st Battalion, Dorset Regiment on 24 February 1938. He was accepted for the Indian Army and posted to the 5th Battalion, 10th Baluch Regiment on 24 February 1939. His seniority as second lieutenant was antedated to 31 January 1937 and he was promoted lieutenant 30 April 1939. He served during the Second World War. |

Dewan Prem Chand | Katanga in the Congo (1962) | Katanga in the Congo (1962)
Chand commanded troops in the United Nations Operation in the Congo in the breakaway Republic of the Congo (Léopoldville) province of Katanga in 1962 during the Congo Crisis. He was awarded the Param Vishisht Seva Medal for distinguished service during this operation. |
Dewan Prem Chand | Cyprus (1970–76) | Cyprus (1970–76)
Chand commanded United Nations forces on the divided island of Cyprus from 1970 to 1976. He was responsible for organising the escape of Makarios III from Cyprus during the 1974 coup that overthrew him. The same year, he protected Nicosia International Airport from the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. The UN remained in control of the airport.Doyle, Sambanis, 2006, Making War and Building Peace, p. 273 In December 1976 UN Under-Secretary-General Brian Urquhart wrote a poem in his farewell message to Chand to commemorate his service with UN peacekeeping. |
Dewan Prem Chand | Rhodesia (1977) | Rhodesia (1977)
In 1977, Chand ended retirement to act as the UN secretary general's personal observer in Rhodesia, when discussions began to end Ian Smith's unilateral declaration of independence. |
Dewan Prem Chand | Namibia (1989–1990) | Namibia (1989–1990)
In 1989 the UN created the United Nations Transition Assistance Group to oversee the withdrawal of South African forces from Namibia and ensure free elections. At the behest of the members funding most of the mission, the original 7,500 troops envisaged in the initial deployment was cut down to 4,650. Prem Chand was appointed commander of the operation, but expressed concerns that the reduced force would be unable to fulfill its duties. Nevertheless, the cost-cutting measures prevailed. Chand arrived in Windhoek in late February with an advance group of peacekeepers. |

Campaign to the North of Baoding | Short description | Campaign to the North of Baoding consisted of several battles fought between the Nationalists and the Communists in the region north of Baoding during the Chinese Civil War in the post-World War II era and resulted in a Communist victory. |
Campaign to the North of Baoding | Prelude | Prelude
By the mid of June 1947 the Nationalists had given up any attempt to reinforce Northeast China by sending the 43rd Division of the 94th Army. Instead, the 43rd Division was deployed to the south of Tianjin along with other Nationalist units, including the 16th Army, the Reorganized 62nd Division and the 142nd Division of the 92nd Army. In the region north of Baoding, the Nationalists had six divisions and two regiments, including the Independent 95th Brigade, the 2nd Security Division and the 3rd Security Division stationed at Baoding. For the region along the railway from Gaobei Hotel (Gao Bei Dian, 高碑店) to Xushui (徐水) and the regions of Yi (易) county and Laishui (涞水), the garrisons were from the 5th Division and 121st Division of the 94th Army, the 7th Security Division and a regiment of the 109th Division of the 16th Army. The Communists decided to launch an offensive against the Nationalists in the region north of Baoding in accordance with the Communist Summer Offensive of 1947 in Northeast China. |

On June 25 the Communist 2nd Column attacked the town of Xushui (徐水), and the bulk of the Communist force of the 3rd Column attacked the town of Solid City (Gu Cheng, 固城) and Northern River Hotel (Bei He Dian, 北河店), while the majority of the Communist 4th Column attacked the region of the Source of the Cao River (Cao He Tou, 漕河头) and the region of Xu River Bridge (Xu He Qiao, 徐河桥). Meanwhile, detachments from the Communist 3rd and 4th Columns were deployed to stop any Nationalist reinforcements. By the evening of June 26 the Communist 2nd Column succeeded in taking Xushui (徐水) and completely annihilated the local garrison consisted of a regiment of the 109th Division of the 16th Army. In addition, Nationalist strongholds along the railway from Xushui (徐水) to Tian's Village Shop (Tian Cun Pu, 田村铺) had fallen into enemy hands. On June 27 the Communist 4th Column succeeded in taking regions that included Twenty-Mile Shop (Er Shi Li Pu, 二十里铺), Source of the Cao River (Cao He Tou, 漕河头), Xu River Bridge (Xu He Qiao, 徐河桥) and Sun's Village (Sun Zhuang, 孙庄), badly mauling the local garrison that consisted of the 2nd and 3rd Security Divisions in the process. The Communist success forced the Nationalists to send out reinforcements: the 16th Army and the 43rd Division of the 94th Army reached an area south of Liang Township (Liang Xiang, 良乡) via the Beijing–Hankou railroad, and the 5th Division and the 121st Division of the 94th Army reached the region of Northern River Hotel (Bei He Dian, 北河店), from Dingxing (定兴). Little did the Nationalists know that the enemy was waiting to ambush them.
On June 28 a portion of the 6th Brigade of the Communist 2nd Column and the 7th and 8th Brigades of the 3rd Column stopped the Nationalist reinforcements at Shiwuji (十五汲), the region south of Northern River Hotel (Bei He Dian, 北河店), while the bulk of the 6th Brigade of the communist 2nd Column attempted to outflank the reinforcements from behind. After being ambushed from the flank, the Nationalists immediately withdrew to the north of Northern River Hotel (Bei He Dian, 北河店), thus successfully avoiding besiegement, but in doing so their attempts to reinforce were doomed. As a result, by the evening of June 28 the Communist 3rd Column took Solid City (Gu Cheng, 固城); the local garrison of the town, consisting of a regiment of the 121st Division of the 94th Army, was completely annihilated. In addition, in a stretch from the region of Tian's Village Shop (Tian Cun Pu, 田村铺) to the region of Northern River Hotel (Bei He Dian, 北河店), all Nationalist strongholds along the railway had fallen into enemy hands. In order to lure out the Nationalists in Baoding for an ambush, from July 4–6 the Communist 4th Column took regions including Horse Factory (Ma Chang, 马厂), Xie's Village (Xie Zhuang, 谢庄), Northern and Southern Strange Villages (Nan – Bei Qi Cun, 南北奇村) west of Baoding, and wiped out the 1,000 Nationalist reinforcements, consisting of security regiments from Full City (Man Cheng, 满城) and Completed County (Wan Xian, 完县). The Nationalists in Baoding refused to be lured out and the campaign thus concluded with a Communist victory. |
Campaign to the North of Baoding | Outcome | Outcome
The defeated Nationalists suffered more than 8,200 casualties and the critical communication / transportation line of the Beijing–Hankou railroad was cut by the enemy as a result. |

Amacayacu National Park | History | History
The park was created in 1975. In 1970, Julia Allen Field (1927-2010), the American founder and President of Amazonia 2000, asked INDERENA (The Institute for Natural Resources, Colombia's equivalent to the U.S. Department of the Interior, now called The National Institute of Renewable Natural Resources and Environment) to establish a protected forest and wildlife sanctuary, including jaguars, around the research station she built called La Manigua on the Cothué River. (3°10'58.8"S 70°12'00.0"W)
In 1975, Julio Carrizosa, the Director of INDERENA, achieved the creation of Amacayacu National Park, an area of approximately 4,220 square kilometers of jungle. He also courageously banned hunting for the international skin trade (e.g., jaguar, ocelot, deer), which had fueled the local economy.
On September 30, 1975, in Tarapacá, Colombia, a town closest to La Manigua, the Chief of Forestry, Fidel Castillo, and Alirio Muñoz, the town's Mayor, announced the establishment of the national park and the ban on all cutting of the forests for lumber. Castillo credited Field with inspiring the park, saying to all assembled, "Your name is written across the map."Field, J. A. (1960).

Mikayil Mushfig | Short description | Mikayil Mushfig (, born Mikayil Ismayilzade) (5 June 1908, Baku – 6 January 1938, Baku) was an Azerbaijani poet of the 1930s. Mikayil Mushfig is considered one of the founders of the new Azerbaijani poetic style.
Most of his poetry is about romance, nature, feelings.SOSREALİZM BİZƏ NƏ VERDİ? - Elchin Afandiyev (non-English) Despite this, he soon became one of the slandered and criticized poets in the Union of Soviet Azerbaijani Writers, and soon afterwards, Mushfig was arrested and executed by Soviet authorities at the age of 30 during the Stalinist purges in the USSR. In 1956, he was exonerated posthumously. Nikita Khrushchev era of de-stalinization has resulted in Mushfig's poetry being famous in Azerbaijani society. |

right|thumb|Mushfig museum close to Xızı.
Mikayil Mushfig was born in the city of Baku of Baku Governorate in 1908. His father Mirza Abdulgadir Ismayilzade was a teacher and a poet. He lost his parents in early childhood, so he was brought up by the relatives. He received his elementary education at Russian-language School in Baku. After the establishment of the Soviet regime in Azerbaijan in 1920, he studied at Baku Teacher's School and in 1931, he graduated from the Department of Language and Literature of the Baku State University. Mushfig married Dilber Akhundzade in 1933.
Mikayil started his professional career as a school teacher. While being involved in teaching, he started writing poems. His first poem Bir Gün ("The Day") was published in the Ganj fahla newspaper in Baku in 1926. At about this time, he adopted the pen name Mushfig (Perso-Arabic for "tender-hearted"). Along with Samad Vurgun and Rasul Rza, Mikayil Mushfig became one of the founders of the new Azerbaijani Soviet poetic style in the 1930s. He translated a number of poems from Armenian and Russian as well. Mikayil Mushfig actively promoted traditional Azerbaijani musical instruments, which had been forbidden at that time.Заявки государств-членов, признанные генеральным директором ЮНЕСКО приемлемыми
In his poetry, Mushfig glorified the work of industrial workers and peasants and lauded the construction of industrial enterprises in Baku and other cities. According to Mushfig's wife, Dilbar Akhundzadeh, Mikayil welcomed the transition from the Perso-Arabic script to the Latin script that took place in Azerbaijan in 1927. His excitement was expressed in the following verse:Farid Alakbarov, "Poet Mikayil Mushfig," in Azerbaijan International, Vol. 10:3 (Autumn 2002), pp. 50-51.
And at parting,
My soul wants to tell you:
"Goodbye! Your last day has come,
Wretched old alphabet!"

In the late 1930s, as confessed by writer Mehdi Huseyn in one of the Ilyas Afandiyev's memories, it was very common among poets and writers to slander each other and accuse each other of nationalism or spreading religious propaganda. The reasons of such slanders were generally connected with personal problems and bitter rivalries between certain poets and writers.Agalar Memmedov - an interview with Heydar Huseynov Mushfig himself came under the barrage of criticism in the Azerbaijani Writers' Union along with some other literary figures of the era such as Huseyn Javid, Ahmed Javad and Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli.

Yepes has the first documented human presence in a Celtiberian village, founded ca. 600 BC.
The former Hippo or Hippona of the Carpetanians, where the Celtiberians defeated the Roman troops of Quintius and Calpurnius, derives its current from the times of the Muslim rule, when it was called Hepes, which in turn would produce Hiepes, Iepes and finally Yepes. It is possible that Hepes be a mozarabic toponym.
During the reign of Alfonso VII, "Yepes and its castle" are ceded to the Concello (Council) of San Nicolás. |
