In Case of Fire Throw This In is the first studio album by the American Lo-fi musician "Weird Paul" Petroskey, Releasing on 29 October 1987. Petroskey originally made a homemade cassette of the same name on the previous year. After Petroskey completed recording his sixth homemade unreleased studio album "The World According To Petroskey" in 1987, he decided to make plans for his next album. Petroskey originally decided to name his next album "Magnum Opus" but reject the idea, deciding to release and sell his album with original music. He announced his new album in a concert flyer on October 1st. The album's title comes from a paperback of Hägar the Horrible. Recording On October 14, 1987, Petroskey re-recorded the song "This Beats Yard Work," which was originally recorded for a homemade cassette. The title originates from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The song "Brain Hemmorage/Burn Out Your Brain" was inspired by metal band Metallica. The following day Petroskey recorded the guitar solos. After a few day break, Petroskey recorded the song, "Deaf Nun" after being inspired to write the song after seeing the movie The Jerk, Too.

Gramm afterwards received a pre-release cassette tape of "(I Stole a) Bunsen Burner", on the other side of the tape, Gramm recorded "Bass Harmonic Exploshion" in memory of Pastorius. The final song is Petroskey thanking the listener for buying the album.

On October of 1987, Petroskey started recording of the song "(I Stole A) Bunsen Burner" Due to the lack of recording equipment, Petroskey had to record one track, and then play it back on a boombox, then after recording another track he'd play it back on a tape deck. The drums were composed from a music software for the Commodore 64 Computer. The music video for "(I Stole a) Bunsen Burner" was recorded in Petroskey's high school chemistry lab. Release On October 27, Petroskey released and started selling the album. Petroskey originally decided to name himself "'Off-The-Wall Paul' Petroskey" instead of "'Weird Paul' Petroskey" to differentiate himself from "Weird Al" Yankovic but started using "'Weird Paul' Petroskey" after popular demand. Gramm was the first to buy the album, as Petroskey listed all the names that bought his album as a reservation list. Petroskey used the periodic table of elements to give each copy of his album a status, starting as Hydrogen, Helium, and onwards. Petroskey hung advertisements for the album in his concerts and classrooms in his high school. on October 29th, Petroskey mailed 10 Dollars, and a copyright form to the U.S Copyright Office to copyright the album.

The Jejune Institute was an alternate reality game, public art installation and immersive experience that ran in San Francisco, California from 2008 to 10 April 2011. It was created by Jeff Hull, Sara Thacher, and Uriah Findley as Nonchalance, a design consultancy group. Background and Game Experience The Jejune Institute was funded by Jeff Hull with some of the proceeds from the sale of his father Blair Hull's financial company and had operating costs "in the low six figures" during its run, including salaries and office space. There was little to no revenue from the Jejune Institute itself, which was a free experience for its visitors. Staff members traveled through the player routes twice a week to make sure pieces of the game remained intact. People discovered the experience through fliers for dolphin therapy and the "Aquatic Thought Foundation" placed around San Francisco, or via word of mouth. There were four chapters total. 4,000 people had visited the first chapter by 2010, and more than 7,000 people visited the game's first chapter by the game's conclusion. Hull reported that attendance dropped by about 50%-75% after each chapter, with about 120 people who made it through the first three chapters. The first chapter at an office building at 580 California Street. Visitors went to the 16th floor of the building and watched a video in an automated "induction room", before embarking on a two- or three-hour walk around San Francisco's Financial District and Chinatown. Players looked for hidden information embedded in sidewalks, murals on the sides of buildings, and attached to statues. Clues were hidden inside mailboxes and on "missing person" flyers with in-game phone numbers. The second chapter began in San Francisco's Mission District and took 6 hours to complete. At the top of Upper Dolores Park, visitors could tune into a 1-watt radio transmitter playing a 45-minute piece of audio. There was a "mini episode" between the second and third chapter, a public rally held in San Francisco's Union Square. The event was attended by 200 people. The third chapter was set in the Coit Tower park area of San Francisco, where visitors could view videos showing events from the past. Between chapter three and four, eight players received postcards, emails, and phone calls from in-game characters. They were instructed to bring their clues together to solve them as a group, and met in a mausoleum. Fictional Story In the story, the Jejune Institute is an organization founded by a man named Octavio Coleman Esq. in the 1960s as the "Center for Socio-Reengineering". The fictional Elsewhere Public Works Agency (EPWA) is an underground rebel group trying to dismantle the Jejune Institute. The EPWA pre-dated the Jejune Institute, with art and fake public service announcements appearing around Oakland. The "mini episode" rally held between chapters two and three was framed as an in-world EPWA event. The story also features a fictional woman named Eva Lucien who went missing in 1988 near Coit Tower. Live Finale Event Players received emails from the EPWA instructing them to attend a seminar on 10 April 2011 to overthrow the Jejune Institute. 150 people gathered in the Garden Room at the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco, California for the “Socio-Reengineering Seminar 2011: An Afternoon of Rhythmic Synchronicity". The seminar lasted more than four hours. Players later stated that they were expecting an exciting event that concluded the narrative, and stated that they were surprised and disappointed by the anticlimactic ending. The Institute In 2013, director Spencer McCall, who had edited videos for the game, released The Institute, reconstructing the story of the Jejune Institute through interviews with the participants and the creators. The film screened at Oakland's Underground Film Festival in September 2013. The film contained both documentary elements and reenactment, leading people to call into question the veracity of the film. Dispatches from Elsewhere The TV series Dispatches from Elsewhere was based on The Institute documentary film. References Alternate reality games Transmediation

The 2022 Corrientes wildfires are a series of wildfires burning throughout the Corrientes Province in Argentina. It began in January of that year and continue to be active in many parts of the province, having consumed more than 800,000 hectares, which is equivalent to approximately ten percent of the province. The fire advanced over fields, mountains, wetlands and nature reserves, including the Iberá Wetlands, and has caused material damage estimated at between 25 and 40 billion pesos. The reasons for the fires include a natural disaster caused by high temperatures, water stress and lack of humidity in the environment, as well as man-made actions, either by starting intentional or negligent fires. Affected areas The fires occurred throughout the province, identifying various different scopes and magnitude in the departments and municipalities of Concepción, San Miguel, Curuzú Cuatiá, Ituzaingó, Santo Tomé, Loreto, Gobernador Virasoro, Bella Vista, San Martín, General Paz, San Antonio de Itatí, Villa Olivari, Mercedes, Monte Caseros, San Luis del Palmar, Goya and Saladas. The advance of the fire even caused cuts in inter-jurisdictional circulation routes such as National Route 14 and Provincial Route 5, and generated interruptions in fiber optic internet connectivity in Caá Catí. According to a survey carried out by the Natural Resources Group of INTA in Corrientes, the Ituzaingó Department has the largest area affected by the fires, exceeding 138,000 hectares burned. In turn, considered proportionally to the total surface, it is the San Miguel Department that presents the highest percentage of its affected surface, with more than 30%. Between 7 and 16 February, the rate of growth of the fire was 30,000 hectares per day, an area 33% larger than Buenos Aires. Response Governor Gustavo Valdés issued Decree 200/22 declaring the entire province of Corrientes in a state of agricultural emergency and, later, the province was established as an ecological and environmental disaster zone. In this context, tax and credit benefits and the possibility of direct assistance for rural producers were provided. Valdés also said that Juan Cabandié, the nation's minister of environment and sustainable development, called him concerning about political positioning to complain about criticism made by Mauricio Macri. More than 2,600 firefighters and brigade members were deployed throughout Corrientes. The provincial governments of Mendoza, Jujuy, Córdoba, Chaco, Buenos Aires, Misiones, Santiago del Estero, San Juan and Entre Ríos sent personnel and equipment, as did the national government and that of the City of Buenos Aires. The head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, and the Buenos Aires Minister of Security, Sergio Berni, personally attended the coastal province as part of the assistance provided by their districts. At the international level, the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, announced that the federal government of the neighboring country would send firefighters to fight the flames. Similarly, the Bolivian government arranged a delegation of brigadistas to collaborate with the tasks of fighting against fire. For his part, Valdés announced that he had requested help from the United States government through its ambassador in Argentina, Marc Stanley. Different well-known personalities from the media called for solidarity donation campaigns such as influencer Santiago Maratea who, in less than 20 hours, raised more than 100 million pesos. At the judicial level, although the existence of intentional fires was made known, few actions were initiated and, in most cases, those responsible have not been identified. In this context, a group of local producers in Loreto criminally sued the alleged perpetrators of fires that arose in the area of National Route 118. Consequences According to official organizations and private entities, the material losses are estimated at a sum of at least 25,000 million pesos, although the calculations of the Ministry of Production of the Government of Corrientes foresee that the amount is around 40,000 million. The regional economies were strongly affected in the areas of livestock, agriculture, forestry and ecotourism. In terms of environmental and ecological damage, the consequences have not yet been measured, but there is knowledge of a great impact on the ecosystem and biodiversity, especially in the Iberá area. The native flora and fauna was seriously damaged by the fire, which caused the death of wild animals such as capybaras, maned wolves, alligators, marsh deer and other species, as well as their flight from the areas where they usually live.

Ukrainian opera as an independent national opera emerged in the last third of the 19th century, based on the traditions of European and folk musical theater. Mykola Lysenko, who systematically worked in this genre, is considered to be the founder of the genre. The first opera by the Ukrainian composer was Maxim Berezovsky's Demofont on a libretto in Italian, which premiered in 1773. The development of Ukrainian opera intensified after the creation of the first professional opera houses in the 1920s, but from 1930 until the collapse of the USSR it took place under the dominance of socialist realism as the official Soviet discourse. Today the opera stages of Ukraine are the opera houses of Taras Shevchenko National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre of Ukraine at Kyiv, Oddessa Opera House and Lviv Opera House. Operas are staged in opera studios at the conservatories of these cities. In addition, operas can be staged in musical and musical-dramatic theaters of other major cities of Ukraine. History Early History The opera appeared in modern Ukraine in the 18th century. These were Italian and French operas staged in the estates of the wealthy nobility. The first known opera by the Ukrainian author is Maxim Berezovsky's Demofont, a typical Italian opera seria libretto by Pietro Metastasio, which premiered in 1773 in Livorno. In the second half of the 18th century. Dmytro Bortnyansky also wrote three operas in Italian and three operas in French librettos. The first state theater in modern Ukraine was opened in Lviv, the center of Galicia, which was then part of the Habsburg monarchy (1772). From 1774 German operas were staged here (until 1872), and from 1780 Polish ones (until 1939). The Lviv Theater enjoyed special fame in 1873–1900, when Henryk Jarecki worked as the second and then the first conductor. From 1874 to 1875 and from 1878 to 1879, the Ukrainian baritone Hilary Dilinsky sang here. The first theaters were opened in Kharkiv in 1780 in the territories of Ukraine enslaved by the Russian Empire. Opera performances have been staged in Kyiv since 1803, and in 1810 the Odessa Opera House was built (the Russian Opera Society was established here a year earlier). Initially, theaters in Ukraine did not have their own artists, but instead hosted foreign touring artists, mostly Italian opera troupes. Odessa became an important center of Italian and French opera, thanks to its important international importance as a trade center. Local composers also contributed to the Italian repertoire. and until the early twentieth century the repertoire was limited to the Italian repertoire. Instead, the last third of the 19th century lacked conditions for the establishment of permanent theaters in the cities, and above all qualified personnel, while the gentry until the abolition of serfdom in 1861 could afford to keep orchestras and acting troupes of serfs. And only after the abolition of serfdom, the released musicians were able to work in theaters, the first of which in the Ukrainian Empire was Kiev (after theaters in Petrograd and Moscow.) October 27, 1867 was staged opera "Askold's Tomb" by Alexei Verstovsky , orchestrators were hired mainly from the disbanded slave orchestra of Count Peter Lopukhin (1788-1873), while the singers were brought by entrepreneur Ferdinand Berger from St. Petersburg. Since 1874, operas in Russian were staged in Kharkiv. In 1886, the Kharkiv Theater fell into disrepair, but was rebuilt in 1890. Vaclav Suk was the conductor here, presenting his own opera Lesův pán (1892). In Odessa, Russian operas began to be staged in 1873, and Italian was displaced by 1910. After a fire in 1883, the theater was rebuilt in 1887. The repertoire of all three theaters focused on the royal opera in Petrograd (Mariinsky Theater) and Moscow (Bolshoi Theater), and only local musicians could present their works, but none of them showed a bright personality. From 1877, the German-language professional theater operated in Chernivtsi, first under the auspices of the city, and from 1884 under the auspices of the local theater team. The heyday of opera (and musical life in general) in Chernivtsi is associated with the name of the composer Wojciech Grzymala, who staged his own operas in Czech. Russian composers addressed the Ukrainian theme, including Rimsky-Korsakov (The Night Before Christmas, May Night) Tchaikovsky (Mazepa and Shoes) and Borodin (Prince Igor). In Ukrainian circles, however, these operas were perceived ambiguously, as they only remotely conveyed the Ukrainian spirit. National roots of Ukrainian opera Unlike many other national opera schools, it is a clear reliance on folk tradition, both musically and dramatically. School Drama From the beginning of the 17th century, a school drama appeared in Ukraine, the origins of which are connected with the Jesuit model, mediated by the Polish Catholic culture and the heritage of Orthodox institutions, including the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. School students acted out dramas for Christmas and Easter (mystery), as well as mysteries (from the lives of saints), morality (allegorical instructive drama) and historical dramas. From the beginning, they had distinct musical (vocal and instrumental) and dance components. School drama was performed on two levels: serious acts were performed at the upper level, and the characters used foreign languages - Church Slavonic, Polish, Russian or Latin, and between serious acts at the lower level acted out an interlude whose characters were ordinary people. and they used the local language. Various music was used in the performances, often folk or close to folk. Nativity scene Also from the 17th century on the territory of Ukraine the tradition of the national theater was established, which was called the nativity scene. His dramaturgy is similar to school dramas: it has two parts, religious (most of which play Christmas) and secular, which are symbolically divided into two levels of the stage. The nativity scene reached a special development after 1765, when school dramas were banned at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. This popular puppet show was accompanied by live music. There was also the so-called "living nativity scene", in which ordinary actors played instead of dolls. In addition, the nativity scene was more detailed "earthly" part, crystallized typical characters and situations full of humor. The main character could be a brave Zaporozhian Cossack, also performed nedovtipný grandfather and quarrelsome grandmother, beautiful Daryna Ivanovna, frivolous bartender Khvasya, hedonistic deacon (chaplain), as well as characters representing other nationalities: Muscovites, Hungarians or Poles, Gypsies. 27] [30] These scenes often included folk rites or games and contained folk songs and dances. Ivan Petrovich Kotlyarevsky played an important role in the formation of the Ukrainian theater. As the author of the first example of Ukrainian satirical epic - the poem Aeneid, in 1819 he wrote two comedies for the Poltava National Theater - "Natalka Poltavka" and Moskal-magician, 1819. These plays, which take place in the Ukrainian countryside, take the form of vaudeville, contain songs and choirs, whose songs Kotlyarevsky partly wrote himself, but mostly used well-known urban and rural songs (the author's part is not fully understood). In drama, the author uses the traditions of interlude, nativity scene and his knowledge of Ukrainian folklore. [32] [33] Natalka Poltavka became the most popular of her time, performing both amateur and traveling, as well as fully professional theaters; famous playwright and theater organizer Ivan Karpenko-Kary called her "the mother of the Ukrainian National Theater." Soon other similar plays appeared, authored by Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko, author of the popular comedies The Matchmaking at Honcharivka (1835) and Shelmenko the Batman (1837), or the Cossack General Yakiv Kukharenko (1799/1800). -1862), author of the ethnographic comedy "Black Sea beating in the Kuban between 1794-1796" (1836) . Compared to other European cultures (including Russian), where this genre gradually went out of fashion, Ukrainian vaudeville was very popular during the 19th century: for example, The Deceased Opanas, Anton Yankovsky, "Like a sausage and a glass, a quarrel will pass" or Mark Kropyvnytsky's "After the Audit." [14] All of these vaudeville were widely performed in various adaptations and musical editions, and individual songs and even scenes that were not rigidly tied to the plot moved from one performance to another. Operetta In the second half of the 19th century, an operetta became an intermediate step between a play with singing and an opera. The operetta genre quickly spread from the French court and in the early 60's was already popular in German and Polish theaters in Lviv. With the opening of a professional Ukrainian theater in this city, Mykhailo Verbytsky turned to the genre of operetta, based on the traditions of Ukrainian vaudeville. In particular, his operetta Pidhiryany (1865) became very popular, and other works soon appeared, such as Rural Plenipotenti (1879) on the subject of redemption from labor. Already "Pidhiryany" has the characteristic features of the Ukrainian "folk" operetta, and the Ukrainian rural environment and folk music. Another popular operetta author was Sidir Vorobkevich, author of the operettas Gnat Pribluda, Poor Martha, and Golden Pug. Ukrainian Musical Theater in the Russian and Austrian Empires The obstacle to the development of opera in the Ukrainian language at that time was the lack of professional theater. There was no shortage of Ukrainian audiences for the organization of permanent theaters: with the exception of Poltava, Ukrainians were in the minority in large Ukrainian cities. In addition, the attitude of the tsarist government to Ukrainian cultural activities was mostly negative. The tsar's attitude towards non-Russian national cultures deteriorated especially after the failed Polish uprising of 1863, and in 1876 the Ems decree banned even theatrical productions in Ukrainian (the ban lasted until 1881). The center of Ukrainian (musical-) theatrical culture in these circumstances was the Austrian Lviv, where in 1864 the first permanent Ukrainian theater was founded, which worked under the auspices of the organization Russian Conversation. Only in the early 1880s was the persecution of Ukrainian culture somewhat weakened, and the first professional Ukrainian-language theater emerged in the Russian Empire, the Mark Kropyvnytsky Nomadic Theater (1882). The theater was a success, and soon contributed to the emergence of new nomadic theater companies - Mikhail Staritsky, Panas Saksagansky, Ivan Karpenko-Kary and Nikolai Sadovsky. [44] The last of them, after the revolution of 1905, finally (in 1907) managed to create a permanent Ukrainian theater in Kiev. Virtually all current Ukrainian theaters, amateur or professional, were musical and dramatic and their repertoire was dominated by productions with music (vaudeville, games, songs, operettas or even operas - in particular popular operas were "Pebbles" by S. Monyushko, Sold Bride by B. Smetana and "Village Honor" by P. Mascagni). However, at that time the capabilities of these theaters did not allow them to perform full-fledged opera productions. [39] Some theaters numbered up to 30-50 performers, orchestras were small - about 15 performers, and soloists were mostly broad-based actors, while talented singers went to Russian theaters early. [14] Even M. Sadovsky's theater did not have a larger troupe, although its composition was constantly updated by graduates of the music and drama school founded by M. Lysenko. [35] The number of Ukrainian opera productions in the territories controlled by the Russian Empire remained insignificant and until the First World War was inferior to productions organized by the Lviv society Ruska Besida, although its plans to open its own theater also failed to materialize. The first operas on Ukrainian-language librettos Peter Sokalsky The situation in the Ukrainian theatrical business hampered the appeal of Ukrainian composers to the opera genre. The range of possible themes of operas was limited not only by the orientation of theaters to public audiences, but also by tsarist censorship, which tolerated funny or sentimental folk tales, but did not allow serious social or historical themes.In addition, the works were performed by amateur groups, or, later, professional actors, rather than trained singers and without a large orchestra. As a result, until 1917, musical works could not actually get on the big stage until the author decided to write a work on a Russian text. Thus, the low operas of this period remained unfinished, unfinished or only in the design stage, in addition, most Ukrainian composers, respectively, lacked mastery of orchestration and musical drama. Such was the fate of the first operas on Ukrainian texts by Petro Petrovich Sokalsky. His historical opera Mazepa of 1857-1859 depicts the fate of the Cossack Hetman Ivan Mazepa based on Pushkin's poem Poltava, but for practical and censorship reasons it is not performed. The Ukrainian reality in this opera is shown mainly through choirs, but in other respects the opera retains its focus on Italian traditions, and also contains certain dramatic and compositional shortcomings. The May Night, which Sokalsky wrote in 1862-1876 based on Gogol's short story, was not staged either. And in this opera the fragmentary nature of both the libretto (combining the texts of folk songs, Gogol, T. Shevchenko) and musical material (both peasant and urban folklore is used) prevails. "According to the story of M. Gogol" Taras Bulba "; The piano of this opera was published in 1884, but the opera was not staged and was marked by eclecticism. Semyon Gulak-Artemovsky's Zaporozhye on the Danube was the first opera to be staged in Ukrainian (the 1863 premiere was in St. Petersburg). Gulak-Artemovsky, a famous singer of the Tsarist Opera, wrote this comic opera for the St. Petersburg Theater, and he played the lead role in it. This opera became very popular after the composer's death and was staged in Ukrainian in Lviv (1881) and by the troupe of Mark Kropyvnytsky (1884), although a number of songs from the opera became popular in the 70's. Zaporozhets has even been screened several times and is still an integral part of the Ukrainian repertoire. This opera combines elements of Western (especially Italian) opera with situations and characters from the Ukrainian National Theater and is based on Ukrainian folklore. This approach, which was continued by Mykola Lysenko, became for a long time the starting point for Ukrainian opera in general. Mykola Lysenko Mykola Vitaliyovych Lysenko is considered to be the de facto founder of Ukrainian opera. His friendship with Mykhailo Starytsky (1840-1904) played a key role in Lysenko's development as an opera composer. Lysenko wrote his first works on his or his texts: The Remaining Unrashiada (1866-1877), Chornomorets (1872) and the operetta Christmas Night (1874) based on Gogol. The latter was transformed into an opera house in St. Petersburg in 1874–1875, and was first staged in 1883, just after the repeal of the Ems Decree. The next opera, Drowned, was written on Gogol's plot. [14] In these works Lysenko gradually created a model of romantic-comic opera on themes from the life of the Ukrainian countryside, with simple action, but distinctive characters and situations, with a detailed depiction of folk customs and rituals, with conversational dialogues, song and choral music and dance numbers. in Ukrainian folk music, sometimes through direct citation, sometimes through stylization, but always in professional musical processing. Lysenko's adaptation of Kotlyarevsky's vaudeville "Natalka Poltavka" (1889) was the most popular, however. This opera remains the most frequently performed among the works of M. Lysenko and now. Later M. Lysenko turned to the genre of historical opera. Taras Bulba (1880-1891) became the first Ukrainian opera in the tradition of Western European great opera. It is noteworthy that there was no Ukrainian theater that could stage it at that time, but the composer refused to provide this opera for professional performance in Russian, as he was aware that in this case the opera would lose its symbolic significance as a national opera, and became just another folk song curiosity. [22] Thus, Taras Bulba was never staged during the composer's lifetime. Around the same time, Lysenko wrote three children's operas ("Goat-dereza", "Mr. Kotsky" and "Winter and Spring") for children's bard groups and based on folk tales and melodies; thus establishing the tradition of Ukrainian music pedagogy. In the later period of his life Lysenko sought new ways to develop the folklore direction. In 1896–1904, he worked on the ancient Greek-language opera Sappho and used ancient Greek themes, but never finished. The satirical opera Aeneid (1910) is close to Jacques Offenbach's operettas and contains a scathing parody of the autocracy, numerous folklore scenes (the Olympic gods dance the hopak and the Trojans the Cossack). Lysenko's last work was Nocturne (1912), which poetically reflects the contrast between the old romantic world that is passing and the modern one. Times of the Ukrainian state and "Ukrainization" (1917-1932) The collapse of the Russian Empire and the formation of the Ukrainian state opened new opportunities for the development of Ukrainian opera. The Hetman's administration took a consistent and concrete position in the field of cultural development, as evidenced by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers on the mobilization of literary, scientific, artistic and technical forces of Ukraine. "La Traviata", "Shoes", "Hoffman's Tales", "Bohemia", "Sold Bride", "Mermaid", "Village Honor", "Jew", "Madame Butterfly". The national press wrote that the Ukrainian State Opera has every reason and potential to become one of the best theaters of its time, while warning that "Ukrainian State Opera should not repeat the history of Petrograd state theaters, which gave foreign culture and citizenship culture…" that it is necessary to "organize the work of the opera artistically strong, national and cultural" . In 1919, the State Ukrainian Music and Drama Theater in Kyiv was founded, headed by the great avant-garde director Les Kurbas. In particular, M. Lysenko's opera "Drowned" was staged here. Ukraine's defeat in the war against Soviet Russia determined the difficult fate of Ukrainian musical art, and opera in particular in the twentieth century. The Bolsheviks' position on opera ranged from outright condemnation as a bourgeois genre (the proletarian cult considered opera a "disgrace to the dictatorship of the proletariat") to its desire to bring it closer to the working masses. As early as 1919, all theaters in the Soviet-occupied territories were nationalized, and the Russian-language Karl Liebknecht State Opera House was established in Kyiv. , however, faced significant organizational and financial obstacles and soon ceased to exist. In the 1920s, opera houses in Kyiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv were renovated under state control. The repertoire includes classical works performed in Russian. The Odessa Theater, where the director VA Lossky (1919–1920) worked, was distinguished by the best quality and novelty of productions. Instead, the Ukrainian Musical Theater, which ceased operations with the capture of Kyiv by Denikin's troops, did not resume operations. Plans to create a Ukrainian opera in Kharkiv, then the capital of the Ukrainian republic, were not realized. [69] Productions of some works in Ukrainian ("Pebbles" and "Village Honor" in Kiev, "Pebbles" and "May Night" in Odessa, "Katerina" and "Pebbles" in Kharkiv) initially did not have much success: there was a lack of Ukrainian works suitable for the big stage, as well as quality translations. In the mid-1920s, a policy of indigenization began in the USSR. In Ukraine, this policy was pursued under the leadership of Mykola Skrypnyk, and the Ukrainization of opera houses became an integral part of it. A significant event was the premiere in Kharkiv of M. Lysenko's opera Taras Bulba on October 3, 1924. Due to the success of this production, on April 23, 1925, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decided to establish the State Ukrainian Opera Theater in Kharkiv, which was opened on October 3, 1925, by the Russian composer M. Mussorgsky's Sorochinsky Fair. The following year, the opera houses in Kyiv and Odesa were also reorganized and "Ukrainianized." [38] [68] [79] At the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, the network of state theaters was supplemented by nomadic theaters: state groups whose task was to give opera performances in small towns. In 1928 the State Workers' Opera Theater (DROT) was established in Poltava, but in 1931 the theater moved to Dnipropetrovsk. In 1929, the State Ukrainian Right Bank Theater with its base in Vinnytsia was established. Finally, in the 1930s, the Nomadic Ukrainian Opera based in Kherson and the State Ukrainian Left Bank Theater based in Poltava emerged. Early Soviet theater productions were characterized by experimental and avant-garde technologies inherent in expressionism or constructivism; they have found great application in Ukrainian opera scenes. Operas such as Viktor Kosenko's Karmelyuk (1930) (1896–1938) and V. Yorysh's opera of the same name were created on historical themes, telling of the leader of the peasant uprising in Podillia in the first third of the 19th century. 68] [93] V. Zolotarev in his one-act opera-duma "Hvesko Andiber" (1927) first used the Ukrainian Duma and addressed the Cossack environment. B. Yanovsky followed the same path and on a larger scale in his opera The Black Sea Duma (1928), which takes place during the Turkish captivity of the Cossacks, but unlike the famous Cossack on the Danube decided in a serious way, the musical style is based on Russian tradition. classics and Giuseppe Verdi, to whom the score is dedicated. The most striking example of Ukrainian historical opera was Borys Lyatoshynsky's opera The Golden Hoop (1930) based on the novel by Ivan Franko. The libretto combines historical and social themes with mythology, such a combination is embodied in the musical language, which organically combines modern at that time means of musical expression with the archaic Ukrainian folklore. The opera is built as a musical drama, has an extensive system of Leitmotifs. In the history of Ukrainian opera, the Golden Hoop is also the first characteristic representative of the "symphonic opera", i.e. opera with a rich use of orchestral means. This opera appeared at the end of the era of creative experiments, but the attack on creative freedom in the Stalinist era led to its short stage life. The Fall of the USSR to Today Since the 1990s, the Ukrainian Opera House has been operating under the pressure of a market economy, and for this reason concentrates on the popular world repertoire and only a limited range of classical Ukrainian works of the XIX century. Of the domestic works of the Soviet era, only a few works on historical themes have survived in the repertoire: Yaroslav the Wise by G. Maiboroda, Bohdan Khmelnytsky by K. Dankevych, and Stolen Happiness by Yu. Meitus. The works of contemporary composers, on the other hand, are represented on the opera stage only by chamber operas. Thus, V. Hubarenko's operas "Remember, My Brothers!" ), Carmela Tsepkolenko's operas Portrait of Dorian Gray (1990) and Between Two Fires (1994), Alexander Kozarenko's chamber opera The Hour of Repentance (1997), Kolodub's opera The Poet. written in 1988, premiered in 2001, about T. Shevchenko) and "Village Opera" by E. Stankovich, first staged in 2011 in Tyumen\. Miroslav Skorik The concert premiered in 2011 with the premiere of Yevhen Stankovich's opera When the Fern Blooms, which was banned by censors in 1978. The stage production of the work was performed by the Solomiya Krushelnytska Lviv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater in 2017. The concert premiere was limited to the performance of V. Bibik's only opera - "Run" based on the play of the same name by M. Bulgakov (1972/1984). V. Kireiko's new "drama-drama" "Boyarynya" (written in 2003, premiere in 2008) based on Lesya Ukrainka's play of the same name was also presented in the concert performance. Virko Baley (b. 1938), who wrote the Holodomor (1985-2022) about the tragic events in Ukraine's history, works in the United States. The concert premiere of the chamber version of the opera took place in Las Vegas in February 2013 and was presented in Kyiv the same year.In 2011, Alexander Shchetinsky's opera "Bestiary" was staged at the Kharkiv Opera and Ballet Theater. In 2015, in Vienna, the soloists of the Viennese theaters and the Wiener Collage Ensemble staged Shchetinsky's opera "Interrupted Letter" based on the works of Taras Shevchenko. Myroslav Skoryk's opera "Moses" was written on the occasion of the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ukraine in 2003. This opera was staged on two opera stages - in Lviv and in Kyiv and remains in the repertoire.This statement was made possible by the fact that most of the costs were borne directly by the Vatican. [108] In 2021, notable events were the productions of Ivan Nebesny's opera "Nikita's Fox" at the Lviv National Opera and Alla Zahaikevych's opera "Embroidered. King of Ukraine" at the Kharkiv National Opera. Opera Houses in Ukraine There are currently seven opera houses in Ukraine: the Taras Shevchenko National Opera of Ukraine in Kyiv.

SCIFIRE or the Southern Cross Integrated Flight Research Experiment is an American-Australian military technology partnership that is developing a solid-rocket boosted, air-breathing, hypersonic conventional cruise missile that can be launched by existing fighter or bomber aircraft. History The project is lead by the United States Department of Defence and the Australian Department of Defence. The United States Air Force, United States Navy, the Royal Australian Air Force Headquarters and the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group are working with contractors Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The project is an "outgrowth" of the 2007-initiated HIFiRE project, which involved the same partners and explored scramjet engine technology and tested the flight dynamics of a Mach 8 hypersonic glide vehicle. The project officially commenced in November 2020. The missile will be capable of Mach 5 speed and will be suitable for launching from an F/A-18F Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, F-35A Lightning II or a P-8A Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft. Flight testing is expected to occur in the RAAF Woomera Range Complex in South Australia. As of 2021, the missile is expected to enter service within 5 to 10 years. The Australian Government considers the missile to be a potential deterrent to would-be aggressors in the Pacific region. References Missiles

Iosif Ivanovich Charlemagne, or Sharleman (Russian:Иосиф Иванович Шарлемань, 5 November 1782, Saint Petersburg - 8 December 1861, Saint Petersburg) was a Russian architect of French ancestry. He also served as a State Councillor. Two of his sons, Adolf and Iosif, became well-known painters. Biography His father, Jean Baptiste Charlemagne-Baudet, was a sculptor; originally from Rouen. His younger brother, Ludwig (or Lodovik), would also become an architect. Together with their other brothers, Ivan and Karl, they enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1797, on a scholarship. Within a short time, his projects were receiving awards. His official graduation came in 1803 but, at his request, he remained at the academy for another year to "gain great success not as a student, but as an artist". After completing his extra year, he joined the civil service; drafting projects for the construction of government buildings. In 1817, he became a member of the building committee of the "Department of State Economy and Public Buildings" at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. From 1821 to 1822, at the behest of Viktor Kochubey, the Minister of the Interior, he developed a series of projects for buildings that would employ medicinal waters and balneotherapy. Beginning in 1826, his plans were used to build the St. Nicholas Baths in Pyatigorsk; under the direction of the Swiss architect . His activities were not limited to the area around Saint Petersburg. As a court architect, he often travelled with, or on behalf of, members of the Royal Family. For example, in 1825, shortly after his marriage, the Imperial Court began developing a summer residence in Taganrog, on the Sea of Azov. Together with Daniil Babkin (1771-1858), the Imperial (a type of court supervisor), he went there to prepare the premises. He also served as an architect at the State Audit Office, and was a member of the "Department of Projects and Estimates" at the Main Directorate of Railways. His many services were recognized when he was awarded the Order of Saint Vladimir, third degree, and an honorary membership in the Imperial Academy. References Further reading V. V.

Eliza Brown (1811 – 24 April 1896) was an early settler in colonial Western Australia whose letters to her father record the hardships of her family. She accompanied an exploration to Champion Bay in 1851, her account of the journey being published. Early years Eliza was the daughter of William Bussey of Cuddesdon, South Oxfordshire, a "gentleman of considerable means". In 1836, she married Thomas Brown, who was a road surveyor. A son Kenneth was born on 19 August 1837 and Vernon was born in 1839. Emigration Thomas Brown disclosed the reason why the couple considered emigrating in a letter to William Bussey in 1850: The Browns obtained advice from friends Samuel Waterman Viveash and William Tanner, who had already settled in Western Australia. ". In November 1840, the Browns emigrated to Western Australia, arriving on the Sterling in March 1841, having travelled in a steerage cabin with 14 other emigrants. Eliza started writing letters to her father during the voyage. Grass Dale The Browns purchased from Revett Henry Bland a farm called Grass Dale, near York. A son Aubrey was born in 1841 at York. Eliza wrote to her father about this: In 1843, Maitland was born. There was a depression in Western Australia and they struggled financially. “Costs remained high, but the price of stock fell.” They were indebted to Eliza's father who had loaned them money or guaranteed loans. Thomas had to resort to cutting sandalwood to earn a living. On 15 December 1844, their son, Aubrey drowned in the River Avon. Vernon was born in 1845 and Matilda was born on 25 November 1847. Education was also a problem for Eliza, she wrote: Champion Bay In 1850, Brown joined a party exploring the Champion Bay district. Brown selected 40,000 acres (160 km2) on the Greenough River, and the following year established a homestead there, which he called Glengarry. Eliza was left to manage the farm at York. A daughter Janet was born in 1850. In May and June 1851, Eliza herself rode with her husband and others to Champion Bay, and was persuaded by the Governor to write her account of the journey, which was published in the Inquirer. She explained to her father why she joined the journey to Champion Bay: Fremantle The Browns did not move to Champion Bay because in May 1851, the Governor appointed Thomas as a Member of the Western Australian Legislative Council and they moved to Perth. In October 1851, Brown was appointed acting Police Magistrate in Fremantle, during the absence of Thomas Yule. Brown accepted the position and he and Eliza and family moved to Fremantle. Grass Dale was let. He was appointed Resident Magistrate for Fremantle the following year, and from 1856 was also Perth's Collector of Customs. Later years Eliza returned to England in 1859 to see her father before he died, taking Aubrey with her. In October 1862, Thomas Brown was transferred to the position of Resident Magistrate at Geraldton. He held the position until his death the following June. Eliza retired to a house called the "Parsonage” in Guildford. She died on 24 April 1896. Edith Cowan was a granddaughter. Letters Eliza's legacy is her letters to her father. These “form a valuable addition to early accounts of the Swan River Colony, describing it in its second decade of existence.” The letters begin aboard ship in 1840 and cease in 1852. The letters were edited for the book "A Faithful Picture" by the Browns' great-grandson and writer, Peter Cowan.

Chandūka, also spelled Chāndkoh or Chāndko, was a historical region in Sindh, roughly corresponding to the Larkana subdivision as it existed in the early 20th century. It was an alluvial tract on the right bank of the Indus with its main town at Ghaibi Dero. S.H. Hodivala also wrote in 1939 that Chanduka was then the name of the main town in Larkana District. Chanduka is named after the Baluch tribe known as the Chandias. During the reign of Jam Nizamuddin II of the Samma dynasty, the region of Chanduka, along with Sidhija, was invaded by Shah Beg Arghun. The Samma army inflicted a decisive defeat on the Arghuns, though, and they were driven off for the rest of Nizamuddin's reign. The Ain-i-Akbari lists Chanduka (misspelled as "Jandola") as one of the mahals under the sarkar of Bhakkar. It was assessed at a revenue value of 3,102,709 dams and contributed a force of 400 cavalry and 800 infantry for the Mughal army. A detailed description of the pargana of Chanduka appears in the Mazhar-i-Shahjahani by Yusuf Mirak. It is described as a very large pargana that was home to several large and powerful clans: the Bukya Samejas, the Sangis, the Abras, and the Mahdeja Shaykhs. Chanduka apparently had significant forest coverage then, which Yusuf Mirak described as thorny and difficult to traverse – an advantageous defensive position, which the local clans exploited whenever they came into conflict with the Mughal authorities. Yusuf Mirak considered Chanduka's clans semi-rebellious. “If there is a strong army stationed in the region of Bhakkar which subdues them at the beginning of every season,” he wrote, “and if they are not required to pay more than what is justified by the regulations, and are treated with consideration, they pay the revenue obediently.” However, if the army presence was lacking, then the clans would withhold payment. If an army was then sent to collect the payment by force, then the clans would send their families and cattle to stay with some of the various Baluch tribes that lived in the region (evidently they were on friendly terms) and then put up a fight, taking full advantage of the forested terrain. In order to enforce Mughal authority in the pargana, Yusuf Mirak recommended “constant deployment of force” in Chanduka. He suggested the construction of a strong fort in the middle of the pargana and a permanent thana be garrisoned there. The pargana of Chanduka continued under the Talpur dynasty. The pargana's mukhtiarkar, or accountant, was based at Larkana. Revenue collection was left to the kardars of tappas, and the kardars were assisted by village kotwals. All the lands in each village were generally held by zamindars, who would cultivate some of it themselves and then leave the rest to tenants who paid them rent. The zamindars typically served as intermediaries between their tenants and government tax collectors; besides the rent, the tenants would give a portion of their crops to the zamindar, who would in turn pay the tax collector. The basic source of revenue collected by the Talpur mirs’ agents came in the form of rents on farmland. Land rents were assessed in four different ways. The first was batai, or rent in kind, which farmers paid in the form of a certain share of their crops. The specific rate varied from village to village, but it was generally about two-fifths of the total harvest. The second method was khasgi, which was also collected in kind; the difference was that while batai was a fixed proportion of the crops, khasgi was based on the area of land that was cultivated. It was generally levied so that about a quarter of the total area's yield was set aside for tax purposes. Because the khasgi system was based on area, it was prone to manipulation by landowners. The third method was a simple cash rent, which was a flat 3 to 5 rupees depending on the particular crop being grown. The fourth method, iri rakan, was essentially a commutation of khasgi rent into cash, based on the average market price over a period of six months. Besides land rents, the Talpur mirs also collected revenue in various other ways. These included river customs, town duties, and ferry tolls, as well as specific taxes levied on the population. The Talpur mirs often farmed out all types of revenue collection in order to get as much money in advance as possible. Estimates of how much they received annually from the Chanduka pargana range from 5-8 lakh rupees. The British author H. James left an account of economic activity in Chandko around 1847. Weaving was an especially common profession; all but the poorest villages had weavers. Cotton was usually the fabric of choice, although silk was also imported from Kandahar and then woven and sometimes dyed locally. Except for cleaning the cotton at the beginning, the entire process was done within the weaver's household. Spinning was done by women: either the weaver's wife or, if the weaver was unmarried, by hired workwomen. On average, a weaver made about a rupee per day then, but the author noted that they had previously made much more under the Talpur mirs because then, without competition from foreign imported textiles, the price for cloth was significantly higher. Another common profession was dyeing. Five different colours were used: red, yellow, saffron, green, and indigo. Indigo, as well as the safflower used to make the saffron dye, were locally sourced, but the madder used in the red dye, the turmeric used in the yellow and green dyes, and the alum used in the red, yellow, and green dyes had to be imported. Other industries included mustard oil pressing (the leftover pressed seeds were fed to cattle), processing cane sugar into gur, leather tanning, and salt production. Paper was also manufactured at Larkana, usually using raw hemp or, alternatively, old fishing nets. References Historical regions Geography of Sindh Larkana District

Futon (蒲団, also translated "The Quilt") is a 1907 Japanese novel written by Katai Tayama, originally published in Shinshosetsu (新小説, translated "New novel") magazine. It is considered to be the first Japanese I-novel, a genre of semi-autobiographical confessional literature. Plot Futon recounts the memories of Tokio Takenaka, a 34 year old novelist in a loveless marriage, who hates his day job and finds nothing in life interesting besides fantasizing about younger women. One day, he receives a letter from Yoshiko Yokoyama, a young female student and admirer, asking to become Tokio's disciple. Hesitant at first, after exchanging multiple letters with the girl, he agrees to take her as his student, and Yoshiko moves to Tokyo. Tokio begins to fall in love with Yoshiko, but does not confess his feelings towards her due to his fear of societal consequences. Yoshiko starts dating a man, and Tokio decides to have her stay on the second floor to keep an eye on her. Tokio contacts Yoshiko's parents to inform them of the relationship. Upon learning the couple had sex, Tokio contacts her father in anger and jealousy, who calls her home. Tokio returns to his old life, and out of loneliness, buries his face in Yoshiko's futon and cries. Writing Unlike many I-novels, Futon is written in the third person. It is based on the relationship of the author with his pupil Michiyo Okada. It is regarded as the first I-novel and the model for future books in the genre, which would be based on the authors' lives. The novel was considered sensational at the time of publication, due to its exaggeration of desire and sexuality, specifically in the narrator's final actions of smelling the futon of his female student.

The Oklan (; Koryak: Ыӄлан) is a river in Kamchatka Krai, Russia. The length of the river is and the area of is drainage basin . It is the second most important tributary of the Penzhina after the Belaya. The name of the river comes from the Koryak "yalan" (Ыӄлан), meaning "icy way". History Russian Cossack explorers reached the Oklan river basin in the 17th century and built the Aklansk fort. The fort was abandoned in 1804. At that time the indigenous Koryaks were engaged in reindeer herding and fishing. The settlement was revived in the 20th century as a state farm dedicated to reindeer-breeding. Course The Oklan has its source in Mount Stolovaya, located in the western part of the Ichigem Range, at the NW end of the Koryak Highlands. It flows roughly eastwards along the southern limits of the range area, descending into a swampy floodplain with numerous small lakes where it splits into branches. Finally it meets the right bank of the Penzhina from its mouth in the Bering Sea. The river is fed mainly by snow and freezes in October, staying under thick ice until May. The melting of the ice in the river valley continues during the summer period. The main tributaries of the Oklan are the long Khayoklam (Хайоклан) from the right and the long Bolshoy Chalbugchan (Хайоклан) from the left. Flora and fauna The Oklan river basin is characterized by discontinuous permafrost with tundra vegetation, including mosses, lichens, dwarf shrubs, and sedges. There are birches and poplars growing along the river banks in the floodplain. Among the fish species in the river the pike and the grayling deserve mention.

This Rain Will Never Stop () is a documentary by Ukrainian director with cinematography by Vyacheslav Tsvetkov. It is a Ukrainian-Latvian-German-Qatari production, produced by for Tabor Production. The film follows a Kurdish-Ukrainian Red Cross worker who delivers aid in the war in Donbas and tries to help reconnect with his family which had scattered from the Syrian Civil War. The film is known for its powerful story, rich black-and-white cinematography, and expressionist art house style. It has been recognized by the Best First Appearance award at International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) and won the grand prize at several other international film festivals. It has been scheduled for commercial release in spring 2022. Plot The film introduces the Donbas region through aerial shots and alternating scenes of military and civilian activities. Among the crowd scenes, it gradually focuses on 20-year-old Kurdish-Ukrainian Andriy Suleyman. At a celebration of the Red Cross's work in Ukraine, he tells how he came to work for the organization: He had just completed elementary school when his family fled the Syrian Civil War to resettle in Lysychansk, Luhansk region, Ukraine. With the eruption of the war in Donbas, Suleyman again found himself in a war zone and set aside his personal ambitions to deliver humanitarian aid. The film follows Suleyman in his occupational and personal travels. While in Germany for his brother's wedding, his parents urge him to seize the opportunity to migrate to the stability of Western Europe, but his personality forces him to continue his humanitarian work for those most in need. Suleyman has a heartfelt meeting with the family of his uncle Koshnhav who treats wounded people in Iraqi Kurdistan, and Suleyman tries to cross the border into Syria but is prevented by the war. After the unexpected death of his father Lazgin, Suleyman tries to honour his wishes by bringing his body to Syria for burial but again faces obstacles. If he crosses into Syria, there is a likelihood that he will be conscripted and forced to fight. Development Director Alina Gorlova planned to film in the disputed territory of Donbas as it came to notice globally in March 2014 due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. A friend introduced her to Andriy Suleyman, who had escaped a war in Syria to find himself in another in Donbas. After some consideration, she realized that Suleyman's perspective was even better than a Donbas native, which she had originally sought. She was interested in how each of Suleyman's homelands were at war and that he had chosen to work with the Red Cross, as if "trapped by war". She also felt that the "cold and shy" nature of Suleyman worked for the film, causing audiences to focus on his surroundings. Originally envisioned as a short, character-driven documentary, Gorlova realized during filming that it could be greatly expanded to convey a broad message about war beyond the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine. While living among the people of the war-torn region, she also sought to convey the empathy she felt for them. After talks with DocuDays UA International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival, Gorlova developed the project into a full feature. Periods of filming followed Suleyman on humanitarian missions and visits to family members in Germany and Kurdish Iraq. Gorlova kept the narrative politically neutral, believing that this followed naturally from the neutrality of the Red Cross and wishing to avoid a judgemental tone while exploring the desires of people living in war zones. The film was developed under the working title Between Two Wars. The name changed several times during filming, as the family's story unfolded. Its release title, This Rain Will Never Stop, refers to the rains which flooded an international bridge, damming it with garbage and submerging it, which blocked Suleyman from crossing into Syria to visit family. This alludes to the needless obstacles individuals face from the overwhelming detritus of war. Production The film is a Ukrainian-Latvian-German-Qatari co-production. It received 2.2 million Ukrainian hryvnia of its ₴6.5 million budget from the State Cinema of Ukraine, with additional funding from the Latvian Film Centre, the IDFA Bertha Fund and the Doha Film Institute. Production was by Maksym Nakonechnyi for Tabor Production (Ukraine), co-produced by Ilona Bičevska for Avantis Promo (Latvia) and Patrick Hamm for Bulldog Agenda (Germany). The film was shot entirely in black-and-white, which is how Gorlov first remembered seeing the Donbas region with its "slag heaps in industrial landscapes". She also chose this to help draw parallels between Donbas and Syria. Director of photography Viacheslav Tsvietkov shared this aesthetic, which he had used in his previous projects. The most difficult technical and ethical scene was Lazgin's funeral, which Gorlova filmed with a Syrian camera crew, without the aid of Tsvietkov or direct sound. She had convinced Suleyman family elder Mezgin to allow the filming as a way of bringing the family together, since they were unable to physically reunite. The score was composed by Goran Gora (instrumentals) and Serge Synthkey (electronic), with sound design by Vasyl Yavtushenko. Editing is by Simon Mozgovyi and Olha Zhurba. The film's dialog is in Ukrainian, Kurdish, Russian, Arabic and German. Themes A strong theme of the film is the displacement and isolation brought by war. It is told in unconnected chapters, broken by visuals of peoples and desolate vistas, from which the narrative emerges piecemeal. Mesmerizing wide shots alternate with rapid, turbulent editing to evoke the tense and uneasy atmosphere of the setting. Jessica Kiang of Variety found that this approach, enhanced by the bleak black-and-white cinematography and bare electronic music, was essential to Gorlov's telling of an "ambitious chaos theory of war". Gorlova uses broken connections as a metaphor for the Koran's expression of limbo, Barzakh (literally "obstacle" or "barrier"). Other commentators discussed the continuous cycles of war and peace. People in the film cope with gunfire by normalizing it through casual complaints and seize brief moments of happiness at all costs. The film frequently juxtaposes images of military machinery with humanitarian and cultural activities, destruction with reconstruction, life and death. Flowing water is used as a metaphor throughout the film. Cinematic expressionism techniques reinforce the sense of losing control as Suleyman is swept along by the currents of war and peace. Structurally, the film's chapters are titled 0 through 9 then return to 0 for the epilogue. Release This Rain Will Never Stop had its world premiere on 19 November 2020 at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).

Following its premiere, international distribution rights for the film were acquired by Square Eyes. The film's commercial release has been scheduled for spring 2022. Reception Critical response The film was widely praised at film festivals. The IDFA jury called the film "a powerful story that does not allow us to escape from the destruction and heart-wrenching losses of wars". The GoEast jury praised Gorlov's brave and empathetic vision. Writing for the ACT Human Rights Film Festival, David Scott Diffrient distinguished This Rain Will Never Stop from other refugee-crisis films by its rich art house cinematography with "carefully composed shots, monochromatic lyricism, and oblique structure" prompting deep contemplation by audiences. Critics also found the film impressive but were cautious in recommending it to general audiences. Kiang praised the film as "a brave and uncompromisingly artistic attempt to outline [...] the psychological and philosophical displacement [of war]", while noting that some viewers might be dissatisfied by the lack of political commentary. Marko Stojiljković of Ubiquarian felt that audiences might be lost by the disjoined narrative, which was most appreciated by the festival juries and cinephiles who could appreciate its techniques. Awards This Rain Will Never Stop won the IDFA Award for Best First Appearance and received the grand prize at seven other festivals: , Las Palmas IFF, GoEast, Ethnocineca, One World, Iceland Documentary Film Festival, and (Beldocs). It also won Best Documentary at the Ukrainian Film Critics Awards. Notes References External links Ukrainian documentary films 2020 in Ukraine 2020 documentary films

The United States Cartridge Company explosion occurred on July 29, 1903, in present-day Lowell, Massachusetts. The explosion of two buildings used to store dynamite and gunpowder killed 22 people and destroyed 13 homes. Explosion The United States Cartridge Company owned two 20x20 brick magazines on the edge of the Concord River in Tewksbury's Wigginville neighborhood (the neighborhood was annexed to the City of Lowell in 1905). They shared ownership of one of these buildings with the Nichols & Fletcher estate, who leased their third of the building to the American Powder Company for the storage of dynamite. The other building, located 200 feet away, was leased to DuPont for the storage of gunpowder. Each building could hold 2.5 tons of explosives. When the buildings were constructed, there were no houses within a mile and a half of them. However, the creation of a trolley line through the area in 1897 resulted in French-Canadiens laborers settling here. On the morning of July 29, 1903, U.S. Cartridge employees went to the building to remove the company's cans so that carpenters could work the floor. After all of the cans had been removed, smoke was observed coming out of the dynamite section of the building. At 10:15 am, the American Powder Company's dynamite exploded, which ignited the gunpowder. The explosion triggered a similar blast in the second structure. The explosions killed 17 people and the men who were working closest to the building when it exploded were so badly dismembered that their bodies were never found. The 13 homes closest to the explosion caught fire and were flattened. A total of 67 residences were damaged and 15 families were left homeless. 5 more people died from their injuries, bringing the total number of deaths to 22. Investigation Judge Samuel P. Hadley of the Lowell Police Court presided over an inquest into the deaths caused by the explosions. According to Hadley's report, the disaster was caused by carpentry foreman Clarendon Goodwin, who poured an unknown substance onto the floor to clean it. This caused a chemical reaction with spilled nitroglycerin which was hastened by scrubbing the floor with a broom. He also held the government of Tewksbury responsible for the deaths because they did not shut down the magazines after a neighborhood was built near them. Lastly, he found that the United States Cartridge Company, American Powder Company, and DuPont were responsible because they did not move their explosives from the area even though they knew it posed a threat to the lives of the people who lived near the magazines. Lawsuits The United States Cartridge Company and American Powder Company settled about 170 claims for damages out of court. The estates of four of the deceased went to trial and were awarded $4,500 each. The decision was appealed to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, who upheld the verdict.

Bihari Ahirs or Ahirs of Bihar refers to the people of Ahir/Yadav community of the Indian state of Bihar. They are also known as Yadav, Gope, Rai etc. The Yadavs form nearly 14.4% of the state's population and are included in the Other Backward Class category. History Bihari Ahirs like all Yadavs claim that they are descendants from Krishna of ancient Yadu tribe mentioned in Rigveda. Subdivision The Ahirs of Bihar are mainly divided into four sub-castes, Majhraut, Krishnaut, Goria and Kannaujia. Among them Krishnaut and Majhraut never sell either milk, ghee or butter, and have, to a large extent, became cultivator. Culture Caste deities In Kosi division of Bihar, people of the Ahir (Yadav) caste worship their caste deity Bisu Raut, whose temple is situated on the banks of the Gogri river. Politics Around 1933–1934, the Yadavs joined with the Kurmis and Koeris to form the Triveni Sangh, a caste federation that by 1936 claimed to have a million supporters. This coalition followed an alliance for the 1930 local elections which fared badly at the polls. The new grouping had little electoral success: it won a few seats in the 1937 elections but was stymied by a two-pronged opposition which saw the rival Congress wooing some of its more wealthy leading lights to a newly formed unit called the "Backward Class Federation" and an effective opposition from upper castes organised to keep the lower castes in their customary place. Added to this, the three putatively allied castes were unable to set aside their communal rivalries and the Triveni Sangh also faced competition from the All India Kisan Sabha, a peasant-oriented socio-political campaigning group run by the Communists. The appeal of the Triveni Sangh had waned significantly by 1947 but had achieved a measure of success away from the ballot box, notably by exerting sufficient influence to bring an end to the begar system of forced unpaid labour and by providing a platform for those voices seeking reservation of jobs in government for people who were not upper castes. Many years later, in 1965, there was an abortive attempt to revive the defunct federation. In the post Mandal phase Kurmi, Koeri and Yadav, the three backward castes who constitute the upper-OBC due to their advantageous position in the socio-economic sphere of agrarian society became the new political elite of the state. Present circumstances It is shown in the Bengal Census Report that 80 per cent of the Ahirs in Bihar are engaged in agriculture. According to a report of Institute Of Human Development Studies, among the upper-backwards, castes like Kushwahas and Kurmis earn Rs 18,811 and Rs 17,835 respectively as their average per capita income, which is slight lesser than those earned by upper-caste, who earn 20,655 as their average per capita income. In contrast, Yadavs’ income is one of the lowest among OBCs at Rs 12,314, which is slightly less than the rest of OBCs (Rs 12,617). According to this report, the economic benefits of the Mandal politics could be seen as affecting only few backward castes of agrarian background leading to their upward mobilisation. Yadavs, who are considered as politically most dominant caste in Bihar have failed to translate their upward mobilisation in other fields. References Yadav Social groups of Bihar
Pomaderris graniticola is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a shrub or small tree with hairy young stems, lance-shaped to elliptic leaves, and sparse panicles of yellow, white or cream-coloured flowers. Description Pomaderris graniticola is a shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of , its new growth and young stems covered with copper-coloured hairs. The leaves are lance-shaped to elliptic, long and wide on a petiole long with egg-shaped stipules long at the base, but that fall off as the leaf develops. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous and the lower surface has greyish white hairs pressed against the surface. The flowers are borne in pyramid-shaped panicles long with up to 100 yellow, white or cream-coloured flowers, each on a pedicel long. The sepals are long with silvery simple star-shaped hairs, and the petals are about long. Flowering occurs in September and October. Taxonomy This pomaderris was first formally described in 1997 by Neville Grant Walsh and F. Coates who gave it the name Pomaderris argyrophylla subsp. graniticola in the journal Muelleria from specimens Walsh collected in Girraween National Park in 1994. In 2005, Keith Leonard McDougall and Jacqueline C. Millott raised the subspecies to species status as Pomaderris graniticola in the journal Telopea. The specific epithet (graniticola) means "granite dweller". Distribution and habitat This pomaderris grows in open forest and scrub near watercourses and is widespread on the granite belt from Stanthorpe and the southern Darling Downs of south-eastern Queensland to the Gibraltar Range and New England regions of New South Wales.

Zafar (Persian: The Victory) was an Iranian daily newspaper which was published in Tehran in the period 1944–1947. The paper was affiliated with the Tudeh Party like other publications such as Mardum and Razm and was the official organ of the party's workers' union, namely Tudeh Party Workers' Union. History and profile Zafar was first published in Tehran on 22 June 1944. The license of the paper belonged to Rıza Rusta, head of the Tudeh Party Workers' Union. The paper was a daily publication and an official media outlet of the Union. Until 1947 the paper was banned several times and replaced by other publications. For instance, on 8 December 1946 Zafar and its sister publication Rahbar were shut down by the Iranian government due to their harsh criticisms over the policies towards the US. Under such conditions it was clandestinely distributed in the country. Zafar reappeared in January 1947 when its ban dated 8 December 1946 had been removed on 31 December 1946. The paper continued to be published in February 1947, but soon it was closed once more and was not restarted again.

Denkmäler aus Ägypten und Äthiopien (literally "Monuments from Egypt and Ethiopia", where "Ethiopia" was then a synonym for Nubia) is a monumental work by Karl Richard Lepsius published in Prussia in the years 1849 - 1859. Like the French Description de l'Égypte, published forty years previously, the work is still regularly consulted by Egyptologists today. It records the scientific documentation obtained by Lepsius's Prussian expedition to Egypt and Nubia from the years 1842 - 1845 in order to gather knowledge about the local monuments of ancient Egyptian civilization. This expedition was modelled after the earlier Napoléonic mission, and consisted of surveyors, draftsmen, and other specialists. The mission reached Giza in November 1842 and spent six months making some of the first scientific studies of the pyramids of Giza, Abusir, Saqqara, and Dahshur. They discovered 67 pyramids, recorded in the pioneering Lepsius list of pyramids, and more than 130 tombs. During the mission, the Prussian team collected around 15,000 objects and plaster casts, which today form the core of the collection of the Egyptian Museum of Berlin. The work was published in twelve large-format volumes, later supplemented by five volumes of notes. It contains highly accurate maps for its time, as well as nearly 900 plates of monuments and copies of inscriptions.

Ferrari has made a series of 1.6-liter, turbocharged, V6 Formula One racing engines, starting with the Tipo 059/3 designation for the 2014 season. The V6 turbo engine was developed under the direction of Luca Marmorini and Mattia Binotto. The engine itself is coupled with an energy recovery system hybrid unit, and all evolutions and newer iterations of the power unit are based on the same basic hybrid architecture that has existed since 2014. Ferrari 059/3 was the engine's official name in the 2014 inaugural season. In the following seasons, the further expansion stages of the engine were each given new names. Formally, however, all expansion forms were based on the basic structure that has existed since 2014. The Type 064 of the 2019 season was often criticized from the middle of the season. While Ferrari put in a strong performance throughout the 2019 season, their performance was particularly strong between the Belgian Grand Prix and the Mexican Grand Prix. During these races, Ferrari took six consecutive pole positions and scored their only victories of the season in these races. As their form had noticeably improved compared to the first 12 races of the season, Red Bull made an inquiry to the FIA and asked for clarification on whether the use of a system used by Ferrari that bypasses the fuel flow sensor is permissible. Red Bull accused Ferrari of installing the sensor in such a way that it could not measure an increased, illegal fuel flow. The FIA responded with a technical guideline ahead of the US Grand Prix, reminding all competitors that such systems are not allowed. As a result, Ferrari's form faded. As the season progressed, they managed neither a pole position nor a win. Max Verstappen then publicly accused Ferrari of fraud. After the end of testing for the 2020 season, the FIA announced that it had completed its investigation into the Type 064 engine and entered into a private agreement with Ferrari. The FIA refused to disclose the results of the investigation after protests from the other teams.

Henry Howe (born Henry Howe Hutchinson; 31 March 1812 – 9 March 1896) was an English actor, appearing in prominent roles at London theatres. He was a member of the company at the Haymarket Theatre for forty years. Life Howe was born of Quaker parents in Norwich on 31 March 1812. After some experiments as an amateur under the name Halsingham, he made his debut at the Royal Victoria Theatre in London in October 1834, as Rashleigh Osbaldistone in a dramatization of Rob Roy. At East End and suburban theatres he played Antonio in The Merchant of Venice, and Tressel in Richard III; and at the Strand, under William John Hammond in 1837, was Winkle in Samuel Weller, or, The Pickwickians by William Thomas Moncrieff. In the same year he acted with William Macready at Covent Garden, and in February 1838 he took part there in the original performance of The Lady of Lyons by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. For Macready's farewell appearance in 1839, in the title role in Julius Caesar, Howe was Mark Antony. Haymarket Theatre Joining the Haymarket Theatre under Benjamin Webster, he remained there without a break in his engagement for the almost unprecedented term of forty years. Among innumerable original parts were: Brandon in George William Lovell's Look before you Leap in October 1846, Ernest de Fonblanche in The Roused Lion oin November 1847, and Lord Arden in Lovell's The Wife's Secret in January 1848. His characters included the title role in Fazio by Henry Hart Milman, Sir George Airy in The Busie Body, Archer in The Beaux' Stratagem, Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, Joseph Surface in The School for Scandal, Sir Anthony Absolute in The Rivals, Sir Peter Teazle in The School for Scandal, Malvolio in Twelfth Night, Jaques in As You Like It, Macduff in Macbeth and Harry Dornton in The Road to Ruin. His performance in The Provoked Husband by John Vanbrugh was reviewed in The Athenaeum (24 November 1855): "Miss Cushman was carefully supported by Mr Howe, who, in the part of Lord Townly, rose to a degree of excellence that will serve to confirm the steady progress which he has lately been making in the good opinion of the public. In the pathos of the concluding scene he showed a power of producing a state of feeling in the house not always possessed by actors of greater name." He used to state that there were pieces (such as The Lady of Lyons) in which, during his gradual rise, he had played every male part from the lowest to the highest. Vaudeville Theatre and Lyceum Theatre In August 1879, at the Vaudeville Theatre, Howe was the first Rev. Otho Doxey in Richard Lee's Home for Home, and he played William Farren Jr.'s part of Clench in Our Girls by Henry James Byron. Soon afterwards he took Henry Irving's role of Digby Grant in a revival of James Albery's Two Roses. In December 1881, as Mr Furnival in the same piece, he appeared at the Lyceum, with which his closing years were connected. Here he played characters such as Old Capulet in Romeo and Juliet, Antonio in Much Ado about Nothing and Twelfth Night, Germeuil in Robert Macaire by Benjamin Antier, Farmer Flamborough in Olivia by W. G. Wills, Burgomaster in Faust, and very many others. Howe accompanied Henry Irving to America, and he died in Cincinnati, Ohio on 9 March 1896. His son, Henry A. Hutchinson Howe, music and theatre critic on the Morning Advertiser, predeceased him, dying on 1 June 1894, aged sixty-one. John Joseph Knight wrote: "He was a thoroughly conscientious actor, and an exceptionally worthy and amiable man, whose one delight was to cultivate his garden at Isleworth."

Timorese wedding traditions (, , ) apply to marriages on the island of Timor, which is divided between Indonesia and East Timor. The wedding traditions are still followed in about half of all marriages in East Timor. Ever since colonial times, there has been heated debate about the value of these traditions and the role of women in them. Background Although there are sometimes very big differences between the languages and cultural systems of the various ethnolinguistic groups on Timor (e.g. patriarchal and matriarchal systems), there are also many similarities in their cosmological ideas and social structures. An example of such ideas is dualism, a belief that two fundamental concepts exist in opposition to each other, such as () or (). According to that belief, the () is dominated by the male, while the sacred world of () belongs to the female, with the sacred, the , at its core. The woman runs the household and takes care of the children, while external affairs are the responsibility of the man. In principle, a woman has a high position in society, but it is precisely in the family that the man threatens to control her, especially if the couple was married young. Since East Timor regained independence in 2002, Timorese traditions such as these have gained influence in East Timorese politics and in society in general. On Timor, the basis of a marriage is a contract between the families, so that the marriage is more an "alliance between two families". The terms of the alliance are negotiated by the uncles of the bride and groom. The valuable gifts exchanged between the families as part of Timorese marriage rituals (in Tetum, also referred to as ) must be of equal symbolism and cultural significance, with objects belonging to the bride's family being considered symbolically superior, as she comes from the side believed to be the sacred source of life. The given to the bride's family is a mark of respect. It gives value to the bride and establishes her status. Not paying a is considered to be disrespect to the bride's parents. Valuables are rarely given in full on one occasion, but are gradually exchanged at certain ceremonies over the course of the marriage. This gives the bride's family some control over how their daughter and her children are treated. In addition to the exchange of gifts, there are also obligations in further ritual life and also in the death rites. A has explained that serves to create a strong society and relationships. Without the traditions, Timorese would not be able to see the relationships between people. The traditions also protect both men and women from violence, as the they are well known and everyone has an eye on compliance (). For those East Timorese who live outside the capital city, Dili, Timorese traditions define their identity and have a major impact on life in the villages and small towns. Rituals Most wedding ceremonies in Timor begin with the ritual (), when the family representatives meet for the first time, and the groom's family asks permission for the marriage. The bride's family is referred to as (), and that of the groom as (). Then, secret negotiations begin within the extended families as to whether the union is acceptable, what to offer, and what to demand of the other family. To ensure that a decision is made, eating is prohibited until the final decision has been made. There is then a first exchange of gifts, and the bride and groom ask for the blessing of the ancestors in the two () of the families. The form and value of the gifts exchanged and the negotiations depend heavily on the houses and clans to which the bride and groom belong and how they related to each other in the past. The position of the bride's also plays a role, as does (quite pragmatically) what the extended family can muster. The more elite the family, the more complex and valuable the gifts exchanged. Marriage between first cousins (), and thus between the brother's daughter and the son of the sister who married outside the clan, is particularly encouraged. Marriages between clans without this relationship, or even with other ethnic groups are common, but then require lengthy negotiations. The exchange of gifts represents the migration of lives from one family to another. It is also seen as the termination of the woman's relationship with her ancestral and the beginning of her relationship with her husband's (although there are also ethnic groups in which the man traditionally moves to his wife's family, such as the matriarchal Bunak people). In the Manufahi municipality, the groom's family must present a golden (a round metal disc worn in front of the chest) to the of the bride. This symbol of femininity is meant to replace the bride's body or spirit lost to her original . Next, a gift known as the () is presented to the mother of the bride, alluding to her needs when giving birth. This gift is repayment for her pain and suffering at the birth of her daughter. Another gift goes to the mother's brother, in recognition of the mother's family. The main gift, however, goes to the family of the bride's father, which nowadays is often disparaged as a bride price. From the groom's family come gifts associated with wealth creation, such as water buffalo, which pull ploughs in paddy fields. From the bridal side come items produced by women, such as the cotton fabrics typical of East Timor, or pigs, which are considered soft and feminine objects and are usually tended to by the women. There are also many other objects that also depend on the respective ethnic group, including jewellery such as beads, chains or old jewellery and coins made of gold or silver. The is part of the obligation of the bride's new host family to protect her and the couple's children. The gifts exchanged in the ritual do not usually remain with one family, but travel, like in a chain, from one to the next related family, which at least theoretically guarantees a generally accepted level of value of the gifts exchanged. Timorese wedding traditions along the lines just described are still followed in about half of all marriages in East Timor. There are certain differences between the exchanged among Timor's different ethnolinguistic groups, but most parts of the ritual outlined above are common to all. Exceptions are some of the matriarchal communities that do not practise , although these still have the "hot water and firewood" gift for the mother of the bride. In general, the bride's membership of a matriarchal or patriarchal group determines whether occurs or not. If a groom's family cannot afford an adequate , the groom moves in with his wife's family and stays at least until he has rendered adequate work in return. Traditionally, this meant working in the fields or helping around the house. Nowadays the work can consist of helping his wife's younger siblings with their education. The performance of such work leaves husbands vulnerable to exploitation and frustration. Some men who come from poor families do not marry at all and therefore do not have children, leaving them without recognition as full adults. Recent developments Portuguese colonialism and the subsequent Indonesian occupation (1975–1999) weakened traditional culture in East Timor, but strengthened family ties and beliefs. A 1963 article reported that in order to impress or out of generosity, some families sacrificed too many buffaloes for wedding celebrations, with the result that later in the year they themselves lacked the animals for breeding or work. The Portuguese colonial administration put an end to this by limiting the number of animals that could be killed for celebrations. Towards the end of the Portuguese colonial period, there was a violent dispute, the so-called "Barlake War" (), which lasted from 1969 to September 1970, and then again from July to December 1973. The triggers of the dispute were the poem (1969) and the novella (1973), both by the Portuguese-Timorese author , in which he concluded that was making the bride a commodity. Timorese intellectuals responded that was a far more complex social process that could not be limited to the exchange of goods. On one side of the argument were Moura and Jaime Neves, native Portuguese who studied Timorese culture. They had come to Timor as military personnel. Opposing them were , Francisco Xavier do Amaral and Nicolau dos Reis Lobato. They were Timorese from leading families in different parts of the country, had received a Western Catholic education, and therefore had the status of . Although this categorisation had been officially abolished in 1961, it gave the men the weight they needed to debate on an equal footing with Portuguese officials. All three would later hold leading positions in Fretilin. In addition to Moura's publications, the debate was subsequently picked up as a topic by the newspaper , the church magazine and the military bulletin . Neves was an editor at and a speaker at , the local radio station. , the editor of , was another Portuguese military man, who sided with the Timorese in the debate. After the publication of Moura's poem, in which he spoke of a Timorese woman who would have to sell her love, Araújo sent a letter to the editor of . Neves responded with several articles in , in which he practically declared the bride and groom slaves, whereupon Araújo countered with the article () in . Lobato and Amaral joined the debate. In 1973, the publication of Moura's short novella led to a heated argument between Moura, Neves and Thomáz in . Neves and Moura felt that the Timorese woman was not allowed to choose her own husband and that the "barbaric" system of was due to the supposedly subservient position of women in Timorese society. Moura advertised his novella with the sentence "a Timorese story in which the author places the emphasis on the difficult but rushing victory of the love marriage over the complex background of ." Neves saw the way out for the actually kind-hearted Timorese as being the giving up of their faith and their rites and the acceptance of Christianity. According to him, Barlake had been a Neanderthal tradition and needed to be eliminated to bring people to a Christian and civilized culture. Thomáz dismissed that contention as an anachronism, and pointed out that the Neanderthals had not been Homo sapiens. The Timorese objected that was not disrespectful to the bride, nor was she forbidden the freedom to choose a mate. There would be no contradiction between and a love match. In addition, the exchange of gifts would honour the bride and give her value and higher status. Brides were also important as the origin of life and due to their role in the community, which is not subordinate as in African societies. This would be clearly explained by the term (). Thomáz pointed out that there were restrictions on the bride only through arranged marriages to preserve family rank. Araújo emphasized the importance of the in Timorese society as a link between families. He, Lobato and Amaral drew a complex picture of the Timorese society built on different principles, which their opponents could not understand from their European perspective. Thomáz eventually wrote to the Portuguese ethnologist for scholarly support. In his reply, Guerreiro quoted various anthropologists and concluded that "... the dowry is an instrument of marriage consolidation. It is not a commodity transaction." In light of this controversy, it is puzzling that the first East Timorese government established by Fretilin in 1975 banned and that the party outlawed it in its manifesto. The Popular Organisation of East Timorese Women () (OPMT), the Fretilin women's organization, was founded by women like Rosa Bonaparte, who had got to know Maoism as students in Portugal and then, in their homeland, campaigned for equal rights for women, and fought against polygamy and . In that first East Timorese government, Araújo was appointed as Minister of Economy and Social Affairs and Amaral was the President, although the government survived only nine days until the Indonesians occupied the country. Fretilin's position only changed again during the period of resistance against Indonesia, as the support of traditional society was needed. That society became a key element of the resistance. Expulsions and violence by the Indonesians made cultural life impossible. After East Timor regained independence, a cap on the cost of was established in Ermera Municipality to reduce the financial burden on families, and allow them to spend money on more important activities such as schooling children and reducing malnutrition. The guidelines became part of the local , rules decided by the community according to traditional methods. Meanwhile, lost its importance amongst the young, urban generation in independent East Timor. Money is increasingly replacing traditional gifts, such as water buffalo. While up to 77 buffaloes were exchanged in the 1950s and 1960s, money replaces the animals, if only because there are not that many buffaloes any more. Also, contemporary East Timorese cannot take that much time for ceremonies and celebrations any more. In modern jobs, a month's leave cannot be taken. In Dili, where young people come to look for work, family ties are missing. When a is agreed upon, realities are taken into account and the couple opts for only small a . The bride and groom do not want to go into debt, but also want to honour their culture and their parents. However, more recent studies indicate that the elites in the urban centers now also use . In 2022, Dominikus Saku, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Atambua in West Timor, Indonesia, banned the ceremony, in which the bride price is presented the day before the wedding, at a place between the homes of the bride and groom. The groom brings chickens or pigs, which are killed. The ceremony only takes place at marriages of couple from different clans or tribes. Bishop Saku instructed the diocesan pastors not to bless a marriage if it had been preceded by a . He described the ceremony as a superstition contrary to the Catholic faith, and said that it places an economic burden on the families. Criticisms Since the 1960s, and especially since East Timor's independence in 2002, some commentators have seen as the cause of, and as a mechanism for, the control and exploitation of women. Today, is often reduced to a bride price, amounting to a unilateral or greater payment by the groom. For that reason, some of the rights of the man in relation to the woman are interpreted as being to discipline her, to control her and also to use violence. Domestic violence is a widespread problem in Timor, but it is striking that it is particularly widespread among the matrilineals, who do not have a bride price as part of their . Thus, seems to be not the only, and only a minor, reason for the violence against women. Other reasons include the perceptions of traditional and state authorities, the general acceptance of domestic violence in Timorese society, the loss of traditional rules and also defensive reactions by men against new freedoms for women. Another accusation about the effect of is that the wife feels compelled to have more children than she actually wants because of her husband, who, according to the traditional practices, owns her and her fertility. On the other hand, it is possible that protects women living with husbands' families: if the marriage fails, the wife returns to her family and the husband's family would then have to repay the . However, the various factors relevant to violence towards Timorese women are very intertwined and require further research. A negative image of can also be found in scientific studies, in which the expression has been incorrectly translated exclusively as "bride price" or "dowry", and not recognized as an exchange of equivalent values. An example is a 2012 report of a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) study. In that report, the term is used to refer only to the payment of the bride price, although the Lian Nain interviewees had pointed out the broader meaning. On the other hand, some of the women who had experienced violence actually reported that their husbands had understood the payment to the bride's family as a purchase of the wife. The real danger of moving from culturally significant goods to money is that the true meaning of the barlake will disappear in the mere exchange of money, and parents will be "paid" for their daughter, as occurs in cultures in the Middle East and Africa. Additionally, the production of cultural assets, such as Tais fabrics, is threatened. Many East Timorese women still see the bright side in . Lian Nain emphasise that the values of the exchanged gifts should be comparable and not exceed the families' means. Among the , it is even said that trying to get rich by lowers its spiritual value, and thus also one's social status. There is still a risk that families will go into debt for and other ceremonies, which is why young city dwellers in particular no longer practise . However, the prevailing view, including among many Timorese women, is that is a cornerstone of East Timor's original culture, and part of a complex system of social and ritual interactions. For some male politicians, this notion is reduced to a nationalist view that puts the culture ahead of "international standards" in gender equality and requires that it be protected from Western "feminist" objectives. In general, older, married women support and younger, unmarried women tend to oppose it, especially when they feel less respected in society. Thus, the assessment of revolves around the question whether it is a cultural asset that honours and protects the worth of women, or sells women into marriage, where they become victims of domestic violence. Ultimately, the controversies surrounding are part of a broader debate about the role of women in East Timor. Women's organizations combat the negative excesses of . In general, it is recommended that the role of women be re-enforced within the traditions, and that values be emphasized. The rules would have to be followed again when it comes to the equivalence of gifts at the . In addition, the gifts should be limited to cultural goods and not consist of money or commodities. UNFPA's report goes further and recommends showing traditional leaders examples from regions where there is no . Patrilineal communities are to be encouraged to change their traditions and reduce or abolish altogether. It is striking that today's discussions resemble the "Barlake War" in their arguments.

The Everett, Massachusetts train crash was a railway accident that occurred on December 28, 1966, when a train struck a stalled tank truck, killing 12 people. Crash At 12:10 am, a Boston and Maine Railroad Buddliner traveling from Boston to Rockport struck a stalled tank truck carrying 7,000 gallons of oil at the railroad crossing on 2nd Street in Everett, Massachusetts. The Buddliner's cars quickly became engulfed in flames. Its doors jammed on impact and rescuers were forced to break windows to free passengers. 12 people died from burns or smoke inhalation and another 22 were injured. A thirteenth victim died over a month later. Investigations The Interstate Commerce Commission and the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities held joint hearings into the collision. ICC examiner Robert Boyce believed that the Buddliner's doors were responsible for many of the deaths in the accident, stating "I believe more people would have escaped from the train had the door opened outward instead of inward". Following the hearings, the ICC's enforcement division recommended that: Emergency exits be required on all passenger trains Trains be required to reduce speed in congested areas, railroad passenger cars be made of stronger material and have doors that open outward instead of inward All railroad passenger cars be equipped with emergency kits at both ends of the car Large motor vehicles and vehicles carrying hazardous materials use designated railroad crossings All motor vehicles with parking and emergency brakes be have a way for the driver to release these brakes if they are applied automatically Steps be taken to develop a system to warn trains when vehicles have become stalled on the roadway A means be provided to operate the block signal if a motor vehicles becomes disabled on the tracks The government implement a program to educate commercial drivers on what to do if they become stalled at a crossing. The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities blamed the crash on a mechanical defect in the truck's copper right-angle adapter, which became separated, causing the brakes to lose air pressure and triggering the automatic emergency brakes. This issue would not have been detected unless the entire brake system was taken apart. As a result of the investigation, the DPU lowered the speed limit at grade crossings in Everett and Chelsea from 60 mph for passenger trains and 40 mph for freight trains to 35 mph and ordered a reconstruction of the 2nd Street crossing. The National Transportation Safety Board blamed a loss of air pressure in the truck's brakes for the accident, but found that the truck's brakes complied with regulations. The NTSB's report blamed the deaths on a lack of emergency exits, darkness caused by the failure of the car's lighting system, and the jamming of the inward opening car door.
