Rufus relates the stories behind the saints memorialized and the history of relic veneration. As a non-Catholic, she also describes her experiences of visiting the reliquaries of various saints and the pilgrims that still visit them.
In his review for Salon.com, Frank Browning stated: "Rufus not only tells us the saintly lore, she leads us into the chapels to join the pierced punkers, the helmeted bikers, the terrified children she finds contemplating the holy body parts. Her prose is spare; she allows the scenes to make their own commentary..."

20477323 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz%20Schubert%20%28film%29 | Franz Schubert (film) | Franz Schubert (original German title: Franz Schubert – Ein Leben in zwei Sätzen) is a 1953 Austrian film depicting composer Franz Schubert's life and work.
It was shot at the Rosenhügel Studios in Vienna with sets designed by the art director Leo Metzenbauer.
Plot
Franz Schubert works as an assistant teacher in the school led by his father. In his spare time, however, the young man, who considers Ludwig van Beethoven to be his unattainable role model, devotes himself to writing music. As public acceptance is denied to him, his friends lobby at the music publisher Anton Diabelli for a public performance of Schubert's music. During a reception, at which Schubert performs his Ave Maria, he gets to know singer Therese Grob.
Schubert decides to quit the employment at his father's and, instead, to concentrate merely on music, and moves in his with friends, poets Franz von Schober and Moritz von Schwind and painter Johann Mayerhofer. There, he is inspired to set Johann Wolfgang von Goethes ballad Der Erlkönig to music.
Schubert friends encourage him to play his music in public. Schubert and Therese, who sings his songs, are made one. The two make a living with performing Schuberts songs. Schubert, though, develops doubts, whether he can express himself in songs appropriately, and so decides to turn to writing symphonies and operas. As Schubert applies for the position of a Vice Director of Music, Therese hands over to the Secretary of the Court Theatre Schuberts latest work, the Unfinished Symphony. Disagreements arise during the rehearsals for Schubert's latest opera, as the singer of the leading part considers the music too difficult to sing. Music publishers Tobias Haslinger and Anton Diabelli reject his music. Even his very promising application as a Vice Director of Music proves to be unsuccessful.
Thus, depressed Schubert decides to tour his songs in order to make a living. In this period of time, he writes the Winterreise.
After having returned, Schubert decides to have lessons in counterpoint with Beethoven, but shies away from contacting his idol. Shortly later, while being plagued by health problems, Schubert gets a visit from Beethoven's secretary Anton Schindler. Sickly Beethoven sends some Goethe poems to Schubert to be set in music, as Beethoven regards Schubert to be the better song composer.
As Schubert wants to visit Beethoven, he arrives too late: Beethoven has died. Schubert is one of the torchbearers during Beethoven's funeral. Suffering from more and more serious health problems, Schubert is no longer able to perceive the success of a public performance of his music. He dies one year after his idol.

She currently stars in Come from Away on Broadway, having originated the role on the West End. She has also starred in various other musicals and plays, including one alongside Sting (The Last Ship).
Early life and career
Tucker was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and grew up singing on the cabaret circuit from the age of nine with her father, Tommy (Tucker) Kelly and sister Margaret Kelly under the group's name Tucker Kelly and the Kelstar. She was a member of the Arts Youth Theatre during the late 1990s featuring in shows such as Ecstasy and Our Day Out. She then went on to feature in Michael Poyner's version of the Rockin Mikado as Katisha. In 2001, she competed in the Irish version of Popstars, featuring prominently in episode 3 where she is featured singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Her contestant number was B0161. She also featured as a contestant with sister Margaret on Michael Barrymore's My Kind of Music singing "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!". She also competed in the talent show Star for a Night making the final with her performance of "Kids".
Tucker trained at the Royal Academy of Music. She worked with Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead in the 2005 United Kingdom tour of the Rock musical, Tommy as Sally Simpson. In December 2007, Tucker appeared as Dorothy Gale in the Royal Shakespeare Company adaptation of The Wizard of Oz at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast. The Stage described her performance as "looking and sounding uncannily like the legendary Garland". For her performance, she was nominated for an award in the 2008 TMA Awards. Tucker recorded a version of the civil rights anthem "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around" which was used in a television advertisement for Libresse in 2005 entitled "March".
I'd Do Anything
Tucker was chosen as one of the twelve finalists on the show in which began in March 2008, appearing each week in the live show on Saturday evenings and the results shows which aired each Sunday. She made it to the semi-finals in week nine where she was eliminated on 25 May. In week six, she was in the bottom two with Sarah Lark, with Tucker having received the lowest number of viewers votes. In the results show on 4 May 2008, they sang "As If We Never Said Goodbye", from the musical Sunset Boulevard. Andrew Lloyd Webber chose to save Tucker and eliminate Lark, saying: "I have to think as a producer and I do think Rachel was rock solid."
Tucker was once again in the bottom two in week eight, the quarter-final stage of the series. She was in the sing-off for a second time, this time with Niamh Perry, with Perry having received the lowest number of viewers votes. They sang "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" from the musical Evita. Lloyd Webber chose to save Tucker and eliminate Perry.
At the semi-final stage, week nine, Tucker was in the bottom two for a third time, together with Samantha Barks, who had received the lowest number of viewers votes. They sang "Memory" from the musical Cats. Cameron Mackintosh joined the judging panel for this episode. Lloyd Webber chose to save Barks and eliminate Tucker saying: "Last night Cameron and I were both saying that we thought both of you would be fantastic Nancys and now here am I faced with this. But I've got to make a decision and I've got to think of where the show ultimately for Cameron is going to go and I think I have to go with you Samantha. A week after the show, Lloyd Webber said: "The fact is Cameron wanted Rachel to stay. He wanted Rachel and Samantha in the final from the beginning of the series. Rachel did a fantastic performance but I had to face up to the fact that she wouldn't have gone any further. What I may think professionally is sometimes different to what the public want. I saved Rachel three times and she still ended up in the bottom two."
Performances on I'd Do Anything
West End and Broadway stardom
In July 2008, Tucker took part in a private workshop performance of the first act of the sequel to The Phantom of The Opera (Love Never Dies) at Andrew Lloyd Webber's private Sydmonton Festival near his estate in Hampshire, in which she sang the role of Meg Giry.

44502003 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triticum%20compactum | Triticum compactum | Triticum compactum or club wheat is a species of wheat adapted to low-humidity growing conditions. T. compactum is similar enough to common wheat (T. aestivum) that it is often considered a subspecies, T. aestivum compactum. It can be distinguished by its more compact ear due to shorter rachis segments, giving it its common name. In the United States of America, nearly all T. compactum is grown in dry areas of the Pacific Northwest.
T. compactum is a hexaploid with 21 chromosomes. T. compactum, like other club wheats, has been selectively bred for its lower protein content. Due to the process of selective breeding T. compactum has fewer HMW-glutenin genes than other species of wheat. Flour made from T. compactum is thus better suited for the production of cookies. T. compactum like other bread wheats have never been observed to grow in the wild.
History
Middle East and Europe
The oldest primitive forms of T. compactum appear to have first arisen, along with similar wheats, in neolithic Syria. From Syria T. compactum spread to Europe and was considered to be the oldest wheat species cultivated in Europe until the 1940s when older tetraploid varieties of wheat were identified. T. compactum appears in Europe for the first time during the Neolithic Era reaching as far as Spain by 4600 BC. Evidence of T. compactum in Portugal and France demonstrates that the Romans cultivated T. compactum on the Iberian peninsula during the first and second centuries BCE. Evidence of T. compactum found along with barley in an east Finnish settlement reveals that T. compactum was cultivated in Finland starting between fifth and seventh centuries AD.
North America
T. compactum was believed to have been introduced to North America from Chile by Pacific shipping routes during the 1960s and '70s. However analysis of adobe bricks in San Antonio, San Fernando, Soledad, San José, San Juan Bautista and Sonoma missions revealed that T. compactum was present in California by the year 1787 and was likely introduced by Spaniards through Mexico.T. compactum was farmed extensively during the beginning of California's agricultural history. Data even suggests that T. compactum was farmed more than the related T. aestivum during this time. T. compactum erinaceum, also called California Club Wheat, was a bearded, hairy rachis, red-chaffed subspecies of T. compactum that is thought to have disappeared before 1822. As production of American wheat drastically increased during the early twentieth century T. aestivum rose in popularity surpassing T. compactum. Today most T. compactum is grown alongside T. aestivum because of their similar nature.
Morphology
T. compactum is small free-threshing club wheat with rounded grains. In T. compactum, like other bread and club wheats, there is a keel on the upper section of the otherwise flat glume. T. compactum characteristically has a smaller, crooked crease than other species of wheat and smaller cheek size at the brush end.
Identification
T. compactum is identifiable from T. aestivum mainly by its shorter rachis segments and compact ear for which it is named. The now extinct subspecies of T. compactum, T. compactum erinaceum or California club wheat, can be distinguished from other subspecies by its red chaff and hairier rachides. The below chart indicates the physiological factors that can be used to distinguish between various subspecies and varieties of T. compactum:
Fossilized specimen
Most ancient T. compactum was cultivated between the Neolithic era and the Bronze Age and thus the most common evidence of ancient T. compactum is carbonized. Although carbonized wheat may often resemble its unfossilized counterpart and can often be identified with the same methods described above it is sometimes difficult to distinguish carbonized wheat this way due to a damaged or incomplete specimen. As a general rule, if a naked wheat, wheat with round grains and irregularly broken rachis forming internodes, is uncovered in a European site, excluding all sites on the Italian or Balkan peninsulas, it should be considered a hexaploid club wheat (either T. aestivum or T. compactum ). If such wheat has short internodes it should be identified as T. compactum.
Agronomy
In the northern hemisphere Triticum compactum generally flowers during the months of June and July with its seeds ripening in August and September. Triticum compactum is an annual plant growing to heights of approximately 0.6 meters in the summer and dying in the winter.

20477412 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco%20and%20Vaping%20Products%20Act | Tobacco and Vaping Products Act | The Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (the Act) is a Canadian law to regulate the production, marketing and sale of tobacco and vaping products. The law replaced the Tobacco Act, Bill C-71 during the 35th Canadian Parliament in 1997, which itself replaced the former Tobacco Sales To Young Persons Act of 1994 as well as the Tobacco Products Control Act of 1989. The Tobacco Act was amended on July 5, 2010 and renamed to Tobacco and Vaping Products Act in 2018 when similar laws concerning vaping products were added.
Purpose
The purpose of the Act is to protect the health of Canadians by imposing limits on the sale and production of tobacco products. It increases awareness of the health risks associated with use of tobacco products. The Act also protects young people by restricting the age of purchase.
Regulations made under the Act
Tobacco (Access) Regulations
The legal age to purchase tobacco products varies with each province. A person may be asked for documentation to verify their age before purchasing a tobacco product. Under the Act, suitable forms of identification include a driver's license, passport, Canadian permanent resident document, certificate of Canadian citizenship with signature, or a Canadian Armed Forces identification card. Forms of identification issued by a provincial, federal, or foreign government with a signature, photo, and date of birth are also accepted. In addition, every retailer must place a sign near the tobacco products. The sign must adhere to the specifications outlined in the Tobacco Act. It must be in a visible location with a surface area no smaller than 600 cm2 with the following text:
"It is prohibited by federal law to provide tobacco products to persons under 18 years of age. Il est interdit par la loi fédérale de fournir des produits du tabac aux personnes âgées de moins de 18 ans.”
Tobacco products labelling regulations (cigarettes and little cigars)
Tobacco products must have legible packaging with text in both of Canada's official languages, English and French. The package must contain health warnings and information on toxic emissions, either in the form of text or pictures and text. They must be displayed on equal opposite sides of the packaging, on the largest visible side, and on the lid. The warnings may also be included on a leaflet that is visible when accessing the product.
Promotion of tobacco products and accessories regulations (prohibited perms)
The Act prohibits the promotion and advertising of tobacco products when the terms "light" or "mild" are used. This applies to products, packaging, and accessories associated with tobacco. A retailer also cannot display these products if "light" and "mild" are on the packaging.
Cigarette ignition propensity regulations
The Act requires that every brand of cigarettes manufactured on or after October 1, 2005, be tested by manufacturers to make sure the cigarette burns up completely less than 25% of the time. The test is to be conducted using 10 layers of filter paper and each cigarette tested must be of the same brand.

23577064 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly%20Roll%20Blues | Jelly Roll Blues | "Original Jelly Roll Blues", usually shortened to and known as "Jelly Roll Blues", is an early jazz fox-trot composed by Jelly Roll Morton. He recorded it first as a piano solo in Richmond, Indiana, in 1924, and then with his Red Hot Peppers in Chicago two years later, titled as it was originally copyrighted: "Original Jelly-Roll Blues". It is referenced by name in the 1917 Shelton Brooks composition "Darktown Strutters' Ball".
The Red Hot Peppers version is a typical New Orleans jazz presentation where the trumpet, clarinet and trombone play lead melody and counterpoint, with the piano, guitar, string bass and drums providing the rhythmic accompaniment. However, Morton varies and enriches this basic structure by providing many instrumental breaks in suspended rhythm, as well as giving the horns and the piano solo passages. The final chorus is in New Orleans "ride-out" style, where all the instruments play together and vary the melody and chord progression in counterpoint over a driving, climactic rhythm. The tune is also notable for having an Argentine tango-like rhythm and flavor in several passages, which Morton claimed was essential to real jazz. Although this tango flavoring did not survive into later jazz, it is noteworthy in the mixture of international cultural influences that produced New Orleans jazz, and this recording is a prime example of it. In this record and several other Morton recordings of 1926–27, the New Orleans early jazz style, as a collective blend of instruments varying the basic melody by means of both composed, written notes and improvisation, reached its peak of artistic development.

20477444 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattru%20Jong | Mattru Jong | Mattru Jong commonly known as Mattru (sometimes spelled Matru) is the capital of Bonthe District in the Southern Province of Sierra Leone. Mattru Jung is located on the mainland of Bonthe District, along the Jong River, 52 miles southwest of Bo. The town is the seat of Mongerewa Jong Chiefdom, and is the home of Mongerewa Jong Paramount Chief Alie Badara Sheriff III. The town's current estimated population is about 20,000 people. In 2010 it was 8,199, and in the 2004 census the town had a population of 7,647.
The main industries in Mattru Jong are fishing, rice-growing, cassava-farming, and palm oil production. The town is largely inhabited by the native Sherbro and Mende people. The town has several secondary schools, a major hospital and a police station, operated by the Sierra Leone Police Force.
Name and founding legend
The name Mattru Jong is said to be derived from the Mende words "Mo-Tewoo," meaning "Place of the Buffalos." According to legend a hunter from Senehun, a village on the bank of the Jong river, canoed across the river in search of game. He was successful in capturing and slaughtering a large buffalo on the opposite side of the river. As more hunters found out about the location and its plentiful supply of buffalo, people began to settle there, rather than return across the river to Senehun.
Hospital
Mattru Hospital was founded as a dispensary in 1950 by missionary nurses from the United Brethren in Christ (UBC). By 1959 the dispensary had become a 15-bed hospital. The hospital continued to grow in capacity during the 1960s and 1970s, and by 1981 Mattru Hospital had grown to 69 beds, with pediatrics, obstetrics, surgical, and outpatient units, and x-ray and laboratory facilities.
In 1994 the hospital was shut down because of the threat of civil war violence, and international personnel working in the hospital were evacuated from the country. The hospital was destroyed by Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels during the war.
After the war, Mattru Hospital was rebuilt and reopened by Doctors Without Borders in 2001. They turned the hospital over to the UBC's Sierra Leone Conference in 2002.
In October 2009 the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) provided funding through the office of Sierra Leone's First Lady, Sia Nyama Koroma to refurbish and "re-brand" the hospital as a "centre of excellence."
On March 31, 2010 President Ernest Bai Koroma visited Mattru Jong Hospital in order to assess its preparedness for the planned April 27, 2010 rollout of free medical services for pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children under the age of five. Staffing, electricity supply and confusion over the hospital's funding status (as a part mission-, part government-run entity) were seen as the major challenges to the hospital's effectiveness.
Civil war
RUF rebels fighting in the Sierra Leone Civil War captured Mattru Jong at the end of January, 1995. They faced little military resistance as the Sierra Leone Army (SLA) had already withdrawn from the town. Earlier in January the RUF had briefly taken over the Sierra Rutile Company mine in Imperi Chiefdom, Bonthe District, about 10 miles north west of Mattru Jong, but it was recaptured by the end of January. Most of the RUF forces who captured Mattru Jong entered from the direction of Imperi Chiefdom but some may have come from Sumbaya, Lugbu Chiefdom, Bo District, about fifteen miles east of Mattru Jong. Upon settling in Mattru Jong, the RUF set up its own governing structures in the town. The RUF stole medical supplies from the hospital and used it as a training base. Another base known as "Camp Lion" was set up at Gambia Palm Oil Plantation, nine miles from Mattru Jong. The RUF remained in Mattru Jong for eight months until it was recaptured by the SLA in October, 1995.
Communications
Mobile phone company Airtel provides coverage of the Mattru Jong area. The service was launched in 2006 by Celtel (now owned by and renamed Airtel). A Western Union branch is located in the town.
Visits by First Lady
Mattru Jong has been visited by Sierra Leone's First Lady, Madam Sia Nyama Koroma once in 2009 and once in 2010. In February 2009 Madam Koroma addressed supporters of the All People’s Congress (APC) at the compound of Late Paramount Chief Goba in Mattru Jong. According to a statement released by her office, some of the issues faced by people in Bonthe district that she had identified during her visit included "improper health care delivery, poor infrastructure, poor water and sanitation and inadequate means to transport their agricultural produce from place to place". In February 2010 it was reported that Madam Koroma would be visiting Bonthe District, including Mattru Jong, as part of an effort to investigate the district's health care needs, especially those of women. A meeting with the board of Mattru Jong Hospital was scheduled and Madam Koroma was also expected to give the keynote speech at a graduation ceremony for nurses who had been trained at the hospital.
A Long Way Gone
The town was featured prominently in the book A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, a memoir of the author's experiences during the Sierra Leone Civil War. Beah and his brother were visiting Mattru Jong with a group of friends when he learned that his home village of Mogbwemo had been attacked by rebels. Beah and his friends remained in Mattru Jong until the rebels arrived there about one month later.

20477460 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry%20Fey | Barry Fey | Barry Fey (1938 – April 28, 2013) was an American rock concert promoter from Colorado who was best known for bringing prominent music acts to the United States for the first time.
Early life
Music career
Barry Fey's first concert was Baby Huey and the Babysitters in 1965 at the American Legion Hall in Rockford that made only $92. He went on to promote more shows at his college including The Byrds on July 10, 1965, at the Rockford College Gym in Illinois.
In 1966, Fey booked The Association at the University of Denver, CU Boulder, and the University of Montana which would go on to start Fey's reign in the midwest.
Fey partnered with Chet Helms to open a famed Family Dog venue in Denver Colorado in 1967. The first Family Dog show in Denver was Big Brother and the Holding Company with Blue Cheer September 8, 1967.
On September 24, 1967, Fey promoted the "Love In" concert at City Park in Denver with the Grateful Dead. 30,000 fans packed the park, including Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, Owsley Stanley, Tim Scully and the rest of the "Merry Pranksters" on the Furthur bus. The show gave Denver a firsthand look into the "psychedelic era" of the 1960s.
Fey booked Jim Morrison and The Doors in October 1967 which would mark the first shows The Doors played outside the state of California. The Denver radio Station KIMN advertised The Doors shows as "Feline, Inc" but mispronounced it and promoted it as "Feyline presents The Doors" which is how Fey's company Feyline was born.
Some of the acts Fey booked at The Family Dog included: The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Janis Joplin & Big Brother and the Holding Company, Blue Cheer, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Buffalo Springfield, Van Morrison, Canned Heat, The Jefferson Airplane, Chuck Berry, Tommy Bolin, Frank Zappa and the Mothers Invention & more.
February 14th, 1968, Barry had Jimi Hendrix play at Regis College Field House in Denver. There were 4,700 tickets sold at 3.00$ a piece. After the show Jimi came to The Family Dog and jammed with a 16 year old Tommy Bolin.
September 1st, 1968, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Vanilla Fudge, The Soft Machine and Heir Apparent headlined Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. The show sold out for 5.00$ a ticket. This was the very first of hundreds of Red Rocks shows Feyline would promote at the historic venue. After the concert Barry and Jimi went back to the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Denver. In Jimi's hotel room he would end up writing the lyrics to "Electric Lady-Land" which eventually went double platinum.
On December 26, 1968, Fey promoted the first Led Zeppelin show in North America, which took place at the Denver Auditorium.
June 28, 29 and 30th 1969, Feyline presented the Denver Pop Festival at Mile High Stadium, which featured the final performance of The Jimi Hendrix Experience along with Frank Zappa, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Iron Butterfly, Joe Cocker, Zephyr and many others. 62,000 people were in attendance over the 3 days.
November 7th, 1969, Barry Fey promoted The Rolling Stones at Colorado State University's Moby Arena.
Feyline promoted George Harrison and Ravi Shankar at the Denver Colliseum in 1974.
In 1976, Fey's company Feyline started his Summer of Stars concert series at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
For three consecutive years (1978, 1979, 1980), Fey was voted promoter of the year by Billboard magazine.
In 1983, Fey, Chris Blackwell, and U2 produced the U2 Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky concert film.
In 1997, Fey was voted into the Touring Hall of Fame by Performance magazine.
Besides concerts Fey has been credited with saving the bankrupt Denver Symphony, and forming the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. He put them on a pay as you go basis, which allowed the symphony to thrive.
When the historic Paramount Theater in downtown Denver was facing destruction, Fey stepped in, and signed a ten-year contract, saving the building.
In 1991, Fey merged with Universal Concerts, which later bought him out in 1997, after a 30-year career. In an interview with Image magazine they called Fey, "Not only the best promoter in the land, but "A National Treasure."
Feyline promoted Paul McCartney at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado May 26th, 1993.
President Bill Clinton videotaped a message of thanks and congratulations upon Fey's retirement in 1997.
Fey came out of retirement to work alongside executives at House Of Blue Concerts from 2001-2004 before retiring for a final time.
In 2009, Fey began his own radio show called "Behind the Scenes with Barry Fey" on Mile High Sports Radio, 1510 AM that discussed the music business and sports with callers.
On January 1, 2010, his official website titled the "Rockfather" was launched, where he announced that he would be teaching a class "Real History of Rock -n- Roll" at the University of Colorado beginning in February and doing speaking engagements worldwide. He also announced that he was in negotiations to write a tell all book about the music business.
On November 1, 2011, Fey announced the completion of his book "Backstage Past" with forewords written by Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne, and Pete Townshend.
Life outside of music
In 1983, Fey cleared the path for Major League Baseball in Denver by teaming up with some of his idols Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays to produce an old timers baseball game.
In 1998 Fey's love of Horse Racing culminated with his horse Reraise winning the Breeder's Cup Sprint championship. Many who knew Fey say this may have been the happiest day of his adult life.
Death
In spring of 2013, Fey had hip-replacement surgery and struggled afterwards. Unusually dour in the weeks before his death, of the surgery ordeal, Fey said, "They tell you it's a major surgery, but they don't tell you how hard it's going to be." With his son Geoffry taking care of him after the surgery, Fey had arranged for his other sons to also be near him. Fey committed suicide on Sunday, April 28, 2013, quite literally between a breakfast omelet order with son Geoffry and its delivery.
The Barry Fey Foundation was formed "to eradicate suicide in our Colorado entertainment community." The planned 30th anniversary Red Rocks showing of U2's "Under a Blood Red Sky", a foundation fundraiser in conjunction with the Denver Film Society, was cancelled so as not to compete with fundraising efforts for the devastating mid-September Colorado floods. They plan to show the film in 2014 as part of the popular Film on the Rocks series.
Years ago, Fey had made a deal with a former mayor of Morrison, home of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, to be buried at the residents-only cemetery just below his beloved Red Rocks, but the paperwork was lost and the request denied. The back-up plan was to scatter Fey's ashes at Red Rocks.

Course and features
Buckenbowra River rises on the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range within Monga National Park, approximately northeast of the village of Monga, flows through a series of heavily wooded gorges, joined by two minor tributaries, before reaching its confluence with the Clyde River within Clyde River National Park, around from the town of Batemans Bay. The river descends over its course.
History
The traditional custodians of the land surrounding Buckenbowra River are the Indigenous Australian people of the Walbanja clan.
European settlement occurred in the 1830s when a horse trail was established running beside the waterway. In the 1850s this rough track was replaced with a convict-built road, supported in cuttings by dry stone walls. The road was abandoned during the nineteenth century, with one forgotten section rediscovered in 2005.
Flora and fauna
The gorges through which the Buckenbowra River flows are dominated by stands of casuarina trees. Mangroves are endemic along the river banks, providing the only recorded habitat for the lichen Pertusaria melaleucoides.
Fish species include Australian grayling and Australian bass.

23577082 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button%27s%20Mill%2C%20Diss | Button's Mill, Diss | Jay's Mill, Button's Mill or Victoria Road Mill is a tower mill at Diss, Norfolk, England which has been truncated and converted to residential accommodation.
History
Button's Mill was built c1817 on what was then Diss Common for Thomas Jay who had purchased the land that the mill was built on in that year. Jay also owned a post mill at Stuston Road. The mill was built with eight sails, but these were blown off on 28 November 1836. Jay's post mill at Stuston Road had been blown down in a gale four days earlier. The tower mill was repaired by millwright Henry Rush, but now only sported four sails; a replacement post mill was also built.
Thomas Jay died on 3 April 1847 and the mill was run by his widow Sarah. It was offered for sale by auction on 5 September 1853 at the King's Head Hotel, Diss but remained unsold. It was again offered for sale October in 1856 and purchased by Michael Hawes. He was succeeded by William Hawes who retired in 1880. The mill was sold by auction at the Kings Head Hotel and bought by John Button. Button had worked various post mills around Diss and been in business for 24 years at that time. A steam engine had been installed as auxiliary power by this date. In 1892, roller milling equipment was added. The steam engine was later replaced by an oil engine.
A sail was lost in 1928, by which time the mill was being worked by John B Button. The mill worked on a single pair of sails until 1929 when the fantail was damaged. The remaining pair of sails, which had previously been on Mount Pleasant Mill, Framlingham, Suffolk, were sold c1936 and found further use at Terling Mill, Essex. They were transported to Terling by rail and completed their journey by horse and cart. The cap was removed and the mill truncated by one storey. It was then used as part of a saw mill. In 1968, the mill was purchased and converted to residential accommodation.
Description
Button's Mill was a six-storey tower mill with a domed cap which was winded by a fantail. It was built with eight sails but rebuilt with four double Patent sails in 1837. The sails had a span of and were wide. They were carried on a cast-iron windshaft. The wooden brake wheel was diameter, with iron segment teeth. The four pairs of French Burr millstones were driven overdrift.

17337410 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milang%2C%20South%20Australia | Milang, South Australia | Milang ( ) is a town and locality located in the Australian state of South Australia on the west coast of Lake Alexandrina about south-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about north-east of the municipal seat of Goolwa.
Milang is within the federal division of Mayo, the state electoral district of Hammond and the local government area of the Alexandrina Council.
At the 2016 census, the northern part of the locality had a population of 883, of which 761 lived in its town centre. The southern part of Milang shared a population of 69 people with the locality of Point Sturt.
The town was surveyed in December 1853; it became a significant port on the River Murray system between 1860 and 1880. Between December 1884 and June 1970, a branch line off the Mount Barker–Victor Harbor railway ran 13.1 km (8.1 mi) from a junction at Sandergrove to Milang, mainly for freight traffic but also as a minor passenger service. The line was dismantled after its closure in 1970.
Milang played a historic role as host to the first South Australian Boy Scout camp in the summer of 1909–1910; a bronze plaque marks the location.
Milang Football Club (the Milang Panthers) compete in the Hills Football League C Grade competition.
Milang is also home to professional poker player and actor Colin Birt, who amongst other victories won the SPT Super High Roller in Victor Harbor in 2021.
Heritage listings
Milang has many 19th century buildings and some heritage-listed sites including:
Coxe Street: 1867 Royal Salute cannon, Soldiers Memorial Park
46-50 Coxe Street: Milang School
22-23 Daranda Terrace: Milang Butter Factory
Lake front: Milang jetty and hand crane
5-7 Markland Street: Dwelling with pressed iron facade
Tourist attractions
Milang tourist attractions include fishing from the state heritage-listed jetty, the Milang Historical Society museum, the Milang Historical Walk, and boating and swimming on Lake Alexandrina.
The Milang Historical Railway Museum, opened in 1992 and located in the station building of the now-closed Milang railway line, features many old photos and railway memorabilia from the era when Milang was a significant port for the River Murray shipping trade. It has become one of Milang's major attractions with its displays of the railway-era history of the town and surrounding districts, its locomotive and carriages and, in the locomotive, a computer operated driving simulator that visitors over the age of 10 can operate.
Another railway-themed attraction is the South Australian Light Railway Centre, on the museum site, which tells the story of about 700 light railways that once operated in the state in mines, forests, wineries, munitions factories and quarries, and at jetties to transport goods from ships. It includes three historic locomotives and two section cars, displays, rolling stock models, and a model light railway that visitors can drive.

17337439 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Janus%20Man | The Janus Man | The Janus Man is a 1987 thriller novel by British novelist Raymond Harold Sawkins, written under the pseudonym of Colin Forbes. The book is set in the period it was written, and concerns Soviet infiltration into the Secret Intelligence Service during the Cold War. The book is the fourth of twenty-four books written by Sawkins under Colin Forbes in the "Tweed and Co." series. Forbes published one edition of the "Tweed and Co." series each year from 1982 until his death in 2006.
The story concerns treason and the rooting out of a traitor and double agent among members of the Secret Intelligence Service, also known as the SIS or MI6. The protagonist is a man known as Tweed, and the book follows his efforts to investigate the clumsily disguised murder of colleague Ian Fergusson, dubbed an "accident" by authorities, whilst in Hamburg, Germany, and the reasons for his killing. Circumstances lead him to believe that the only way the enemy (the Soviet Union) could have intercepted Ferguson on his mission would have been to have a double agent stationed within the SIS. As he attempts to discover the identity of "The Janus Man who faces both East and West", he tracks sources of information in Moscow, Lübeck, Copenhagen and Oslo to hunt down the killer of Ferguson.
The book confronts several issues facing both Britain and the Soviet Union at the time, such as treason and the inability to trust even friends in times of uncertainty and war. People living at the time were also mentioned in the book, such as former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
It was well received by critics, and was praised by publications such as the Sunday Mirror.

44502164 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest%20Hoben | Ernest Hoben | Ernest Denis Hoben (3 February 18643 February 1918) was a New Zealand rugby union administrator who was the figure most responsible for the founding of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union in 1892; he was subsequently elected its first Honorary Secretary.
Journalism and personal life
Hoben was born in Auckland, and after a few years in New South Wales, he spent his youth at Tauranga, where he was a prominent figure in local sports as captain of the rugby and boxing clubs, and noted as a walker and swimmer. After working at a bank in Tauranga, he started working in journalism, and subsequently moved to Wellington, where he worked for The Evening Post. During his career he worked for a number of newspapers throughout New Zealand and Australia, including The Sydney Daily Telegraph, The Sydney Mail, The New Zealand Times and the Manawatu Times. Hoben had just moved to Melbourne to take up a position at The Melbourne Herald, but he was hospitalised soon after his arrival, and died of a diabetes-related illness there.
Rugby union
Hoben was involved in rugby first in the Bay of Plenty and then in the Hawke's Bay. He helped establish the sport in the Bay of Plenty, and became friends with Joe Warbrick and his family; Warbrick went on to organise and captain the ground-breaking 1888–89 New Zealand Native football team. Hoben later served as secretary of the Hawke's Bay Rugby Union. By 1891 clubs in a number of regions throughout New Zealand had formed their own provincial Rugby Unions to govern the sport in their area. This started with the formation of the Canterbury Rugby Football Union (CRFU) and Wellington Rugby Football Union in 1879, and over the next decade over a dozen new provincial Unions were formed. Most of the provincial Unions were directly affiliated with the English Rugby Football Union, but having a governing body in New Zealand would help with inter-provincial disputes over scoring and other matters.
At various times the Canterbury, Wellington, and Auckland Rugby Union's had each suggested the formation of a national union, but Hoben became the primary advocate for such a body, and spent 1891 travelling throughout the country and canvassing support from the various provincial unions. Hoben found widespread support for his proposal, with the Otago Rugby Union (ORU)a powerful province in the gamethe only significant opponent to the idea. On 7 November 1891 a conference with delegates from Auckland, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Wairarapa, Manawatu, Wellington and Otago met and discussed the text of a constitution. The draft constitution was distributed to the various provincial Unions to discuss, and by the time of a second meeting, at the Club Hotel in Wellington on 16 April 1892, most of the Unions endorsed a proposal to form the New Zealand Rugby Football Union (now the New Zealand Rugby Union, or NZRU). Hoben was elected secretary. Most notably, the three most powerful South Island Unions of Canterbury, Otago, and Southland declined to join. On the subject of those southern Unions not joining, Hoben said:
Hoben was particularly surprised that Canterbury did not join as the CRFU management committee had previously voted to do so in 1891, but none of those that had voted in favour were re-elected for 1892. The CRFU were unhappy with the requirement that all NZRU executive committee members live in Wellington, something they felt would put New Zealand rugby "in the hands of Wellington men". Consequently, the 1893 New Zealand team that toured New South Wales was selected without any players from the three southern provinces. But by 1895 all three Unions had joined the NZRU and the 1897 New Zealand team that toured Australia was selected from players throughout the country.
The NZRU's largest meeting room, the Ernest Hoben Room, is named in recognition of his services to rugby in New Zealand. The room's walls are decorated with photos of past All Black players and teams, as well as all 26 provincial rugby jerseys. As part of their 150th anniversary in 2013, The New Zealand Herald named Hoben as the most influential New Zealander of 1892 for his role in helping found the NZRU.

6905037 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demidov%20Prize | Demidov Prize | The Demidov Prize () is a national scientific prize in Russia awarded annually to the members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Originally awarded from 1832 to 1866 in the Russian Empire, it was revived by the government of Russia's Sverdlovsk Oblast in 1993. In its original incarnation it was one of the first annual scientific awards, and its traditions influenced other awards of this kind including the Nobel Prize.
History
In 1831 Count Pavel Nikolaievich Demidov, representative of the famous Demidov family, established a scientific prize in his name. The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences (now the Russian Academy of Sciences) was chosen as the awarding institution. In 1832 the president of the Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Sergei Uvarov, awarded the first prizes.
From 1832 to 1866 the Academy awarded 55 full prizes (5,000 rubles) and 220 part prizes. Among the winners were many prominent Russian scientists: the founder of field surgery and inventor of the plaster immobilisation method in treatment of fractures, Nikolai Pirogov; the seafarer and geographer Adam Johann von Krusenstern; who led the first russian circumnavigation of the globe, Dmitri Mendeleev; the creator of the periodic table of elements, Boris Jacobi; pioneer of the first usable electric motors, and many others. One of the recipients was the founder's younger brother, Count Anatoly Nikolaievich Demidov, 1st Prince of San Donato, in 1847; Pavel had died in 1840, making Anatoly the Count Demidov (note that Russia did not recognize Anatoly's Italian title of prince).
From 1866, 25 years after Count Demidov's death, as was according to the terms of his bequest, there were no more awards.
In 1993, on the initiative of the vice-president of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Mesyats and the governor of the Sverdlovsk Oblast Eduard Rossel, the Demidov Prize traditions were restored. The prize is awarded for outstanding achievements in natural sciences and humanities. The winners are elected annually among the members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to the tradition every year the Demidov Scientific Foundation chooses three or four academicians to receive the award. The prize includes a medal, a diploma and $10,000. The awards ceremony takes place every year at the Governor's Palace of Sverdlovsk Oblast, in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The recipients of the Prize also give lectures at the Ural State University (Demidov Lecture).

6905042 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going%20Steady%20%28book%29 | Going Steady (book) | Going Steady: Film Writings 1968–1969 is the third collection of film reviews by the critic Pauline Kael, comprising the years 1968–1969, when she first began her film-reviewing duties at The New Yorker and which covers, " a crucial period of social and aesthetic change at the end of the sixties."
The collection for the most part consists of reviews of individual films, but includes one long essay, (which appeared originally in Harper's Magazine), entitled "Trash, Art, and the Movies ", perhaps the closest Kael comes to a manifesto defining her personal aesthetics in regards to films. In the essay, Kael dissects, compares, and contrasts the merits of "trash" films that are nevertheless entertaining, as well as "art" films that are uninteresting. In doing so, Kael lambastes "art" films such as Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, concluding her treatment of that particular film by declaring: "If big film directors are to get credit for doing badly what others have been doing brilliantly for years with no money, just because they've put it on a big screen, then businessmen are greater than poets and theft is art." The essay is divided into ten parts, ranging from discussions of The Thomas Crown Affair to Petulia. Kael's overriding theme is to dismantle the intellectual pretences of those who deride films deemed to be "trash" on the basis of dubious aesthetic concerns, notwithstanding the entertainment appeal a particular "trash" film might possess.
Other notable reviews include Kael's treatment of the Norman Mailer film Wild 90, its relation to cinéma vérité, and the implications of that particular film-making technique.
This book is out-of-print in the United States, but is still published by Marion Boyars Publishers of the United Kingdom.

20477508 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarokoid%20languages | Tarokoid languages | The five Tarokoid languages are a branch of the Plateau family spoken in central Nigeria, just north of the middle reaches of the Benue River. Tarok itself has 300,000 speakers, with Pe and Sur about 5,000 each. Yangkam is severely endangered, being spoken by around fifty elderly men.
The Tarokoid languages have significantly influenced the Ron languages and later Ngas, but not the other West Chadic languages of Tel, Goemai, Mupun, and Mwaghavul. Most borrowed words went from Tarok to Chadic, although occasionally Chadic words were also borrowed into Tarok. Today, Tarok remains the lingua franca of the southern Plateau region of Nigeria.
Classification
The only language with significant data is Tarok. Pe (Pai) has been placed in various branches of Plateau, and Kwang (Kwanka) was only recently added, but it now seems clear that the following five languages belong together. The classification below follows Blench (2004).
Names and locations

44502198 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapla%20Singam | Mapla Singam | Mapla Singam ( Lion Groom) is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by Rajasekhar. The film stars Vimal and Anjali, with Soori in a supporting role. Don Ashok has penned the dialogs. N. R. Raghunanthan has scored the music, whereas cinematography was done by V. S. Tharun Balaji and editing by Vivek Harshan. The film released on 11 March 2016 to extreme negative reviews for its regressive storyline.
Plot
Sevagapandian (Radha Ravi) is a politician leading his life with his only daughter Vinodhini (Madhumila) and his nephew Anbuchelvan (Vimal). Anbu accompanies Sevagapandian in his political meetings and treats his cousin Vinodhini as his own sister. Vinodhini falls in love with Satish (Vishnu) and discloses this to Anbu, requesting to convince Sevagapandian. Anbu waits for the right time to disclose about Vinodhini's love to Sevagapandian. Meanwhile, Anbu falls in love with Sailaja (Anjali), who happens to be Satish's sister, for which she reciprocates as well.
Sevagapandian is against love marriages and starts looking for an alliance for Vinodhini. Vinodhini requests her father to postpone her wedding for a few years as she prefers to get employed, for which Sevagapandian refuses. Vinodhini goes missing and everyone assumes that she has eloped with Satish. Sevagapandian and his henchmen thrashes Satish's home leaving their family members insulted. However, it is revealed that Vinodhini has gone to Coimbatore for a job interview. Anbu feels bad for Sevagapandian's behavior and apologizes to Shailaja.
Sevagapandian speeds up Vinodhini's marriage arrangements and Vinodhini decides to marry Satish in a register office. Anbu understands Vinodhini's situation and agrees to help her. Vinodhini marries Satish. Sevagapandian gets furious and informs Anbu to revenge Satish family by marrying Shailaja, not knowing the fact that Anbu and Shailaja are in love already. Anbu uses this opportunity and marries Shailaja.

Production
Escape Artists Motion Pictures announced that they would fund a film to be directed by Rajasekhar, an erstwhile assistant of Ezhil. The film began production in November 2014, with a photo shoot taking place with Vimal, Anjali and Soori. A Scottish pianist, working at A.R.Rahman's KM Music Conservatory, Adam Greig, was selected to portray a foreigner in the film, featuring in comedy scenes alongside Soori.
Review
Times of India gave the movie 3 stars stating " Two warring groups in a village, romance that blossoms between the youngsters in these groups, and a happy ending! Before you say 'Yawn!', here's the news. Mapla Singam is actually not bad. The film seems to have been cut from the same cloth as films like Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam. Sivakarthikeyan has made a career out of these films, and Vemal's attempts have largely gone unnoticed. Perhaps this one could do the magic.".
Soundtrack
The music was composed by N. R. Raghunanthan.
