6911644 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namdaemun%20Market | Namdaemun Market | Namdaemun Market is a large traditional market in Seoul, South Korea. The market is located next to Namdaemun, the "Great South Gate," which was the main southern gate to the old city. It is the oldest and largest market in Korea.
History
Namdaemun market dates back to 1414, during the reign of King Taejong, as a government managed marketplace. In 1608, King Seonjo set up the office of seonhyecheong (hangul: 선혜청, hanja: 宣惠廳, "tribute bureau") in the district to manage the tributes of rice, cloth and money. A trading marketplace took its form around that time and commercial activities flourished as traders set up various shops. Trade was active in grains, fish, fruit, and miscellaneous goods.
The management of the market went over to the Japanese in 1922, but after liberation in 1945 the merchants established the Namdaemun Merchant Organization and took over management. The market, however, turned to ruins during the Korean War and succumbed to fire in 1953. The Seoul Namdaemun Market Co. Ltd. was found in 1954 to rebuild the market, but efforts fell short due to financial troubles. Endeavors for reconstruction continued in the following years, but fires swept the market again in 1968 and 1975.
The city of Seoul announced plans to renovate the market in 2007, and reconstruction and renovations are being continued in 2010.
Characteristics
Namdaemun Market is one of the oldest continually running markets in South Korea, and one of the largest retail markets in Seoul. The streets in which the market is located were built in a time when cars were not prevalent, so the market itself is not accessible by car. The main methods of transporting goods into and out of the market are by motorcycle and hand-drawn carts. It occupies many city blocks, which are blocked off from most car traffic due to the prevalence of parking congestion in the area. The market can be accessed by subway or bus; the location is within a 10-minute walk from Seoul Station and is even closer to the subway Hoehyeon station, Line 4.
Much of the market is outside, but there are also many stores which line the streets. Many retailers buy their items, particularly clothing, at wholesale prices at Namdaemun, to resell in their own stores in other cities. Namdaemun is a popular tourist attraction. The Market is on the Seoul list of Asia's 10 greatest street food cities for the hotteok.

UNITA was urged to accept the results of the legislative and presidential elections and respect peace agreements. Both parties, especially UNITA, had to be flexible and act in good faith towards the negotiations in Lusaka, Zambia. Recently, the military operations in Angola had again intensified, which had consequences for the population, hindered the talks in Lusaka and affected UNAVEM II's ability to carry out its mandate.
After extending the mandate of UNAVEM II until 30 September 1994, the security council urged both parties to fulfill their commitments, working towards a ceasefire and a peaceful solution. The Government of Angola had accepted proposals for national reconciliation by Margaret Anstee, and UNITA was urged to do the same. If, by 31 July 1994, the proposals were not accepted, then additional measures would be imposed against UNITA, as indicated in Resolution 864 (1993). Furthermore, the role of the United Nations in Angola would be reconsidered at the end of UNAVEM II's newly extended mandate if no peace agreement was reached. All countries were reminded of their obligation to implement the sanctions against UNITA. Two neighbours of Angola who had so far failed to co-operate were asked to submit information regarding alleged violations of the sanctions.
The council condemned the intensification of offensive military actions throughout the country, contrary to Resolution 922 (1994), and in this regard, both parties were urged to cease hostilities. The deteriorating humanitarian situation and actions against humanitarian aid workers were deplored and condemned. Both parties were urged to guarantee safe passage for humanitarian workers. Finally, the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to report back to the council by 31 July 1994, on developments the situation.

26723443 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar%20LaMonaca | Caesar LaMonaca | Caesar LaMonaca (1886–1983) was a musician, composer, arranger and band leader who worked mostly in Florida throughout the 20th Century.
Early life
As a child in San Severo, Italy, like his older brother Joseph, he found he had an affinity for music. By age nine, he became good enough as a French horn and trumpet player that he was able to join a professional concert band touring Europe. Joseph LaMonaca was already playing flute in the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra and was able to help Caesar find a gig with Giuseppe Creatore's Italian Band when Caesar was just 14. Caesar came to America and within two years he was conducting the Creatore Band.
Career
After a few years on the road, LaMonaca settled in California and was able to bring his mother to the U.S. He led multiple groups until he was drafted for World War I.
After the war, Mr. LaMonaca performed everywhere from Santa Barbara to San Francisco and had recurring gigs at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. After touring with various ensembles, LaMonaca married settled down in Rhode Island where his son, Caesar Vito was born.
The family moved to Miami so Cesar could lead a band at the Roman Pools. By 1926 he was director of the Hollywood, Florida municipal band.
Soon LaMonaca was working with the local Boy Scouts and helped stand up their drum and bugle corps (classic), as he did later in Miami.
In 1926 LaMonaca outbid the famed Arthur Pryor for a series of waterfront concert gigs in Miami, but that season was interrupted by the Great Miami Hurricane. LaMonaca's Hollywood band immediately began to play at area hospitals for victims of the hurricane.
After Miami rebuilt the Bayfront Park Amphiteater, in 1927, his band gave concerts there for the next 50 years. In 1929, he became director of the Harvey Seeds American Legion Post Drum and Bugle Corps.
Under his musical direction Harvey Seeds won three national championships and a number of other accolades.
In 1930, LaMonaca volunteered to conduct the 265th Coast Artillery Band of the Florida National Guard, a military unit which was the predecessor of today's 13th Army Band, Florida National Guard. The band adopted LaMonaca's style of mixing classical music with marches and modern songs. The Coast Artillery later became the 265th Air Defense Artillery Regiment. This was the only Florida military band that survived the reorganization of the armed forces after WWII. LaMonaca retired from the military in 1941, as the unit was federalized for active duty. The band served in Texas and Alaska. LaMonaca noted in an interview that the Army didn't pay enough to keep up his familial responsibilities.
In 1931, he formed the Greater Miami Boys Drum and Bugle Corps, which he headed until 1955. That drum corps traveled the world and won several competitions, apart from the Harvey Seeds, Legion corps. At one point the depression-era WPA was used creatively to assist out-of-work musicians and as many as 14 teachers were paid to assist the drum corps, which swelled to over 360 members.
LaMonaca is also cited as the creator of the West Palm Beach Municipal Band, which he led until 1930.
He was not only a great conductor, but an educator. From 1946 to 1955, he organized and directed a youth symphony that performed twice weekly during the summer months at the Bayfront Park bandshell while his symphonic band was on hiatus.
LaMonaca's legacy was not only that of a great entertainer, but someone who was a keystone of South Florida history. His concerts remain in the memory of many Miamians who didn't have television and went to Bayfront Park on Friday and Saturday nights for his concerts. His students went on to both teach and perform. His students in the Greater Miami Boys Drum Corps included Wade Buff and Gene Adkinson, who later formed The Dreamers. His own son, Caesar V. LaMonaca, attended Juilliard and played French Horn with the New Orleans and Houston Symphonies, before moving on to become a piano tuner. Canadian Brass member Martin Hackleman was a student of his.
During his final concert at Bayfront, the elder Lamonaca fell from the podium and broke his hip. He never conducted in public again.

23581389 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landesliga%20L%C3%BCneburg | Landesliga Lüneburg | The Landesliga Lüneburg, called the Bezirksoberliga Lüneburg from 1979 to 1994 and 2006 to 2010, is the sixth tier of the German football league system and the second highest league in the German state of Lower Saxony (German:Niedersachsen). It covers the region of the now defunct Regierungsbezirk Lüneburg.
It is one of four leagues at this level in Lower Saxony, the other three being the Landesliga Braunschweig, the Landesliga Weser-Ems and the Landesliga Hannover.
The term Landesliga can be translated as State league.
Overview
The league's history goes back to 1979, when four new Bezirksoberligas (Braunschweig, Hannover, Lüneburg and Weser-Ems) were formed in the state of Lower Saxony. The Bezirksoberligas (6th tier) were set below the Verbandsliga Niedersachsen (4th tier) and the two Landesligas (5th tier) in the German football league system. In 1994, the two old Landesligas were dissolved, while the four Bezirksoberligas were renamed into Landesliga Braunschweig, Landesliga Hannover, Landesliga Lüneburg, and Landesliga Weser-Ems respectively. Due to the introduction of the new Regionalliga (IV) the new Landesligas still remained at the 6th tier of German football, however.
In 2006, the Landesliga was renamed into Bezirksoberliga again. The new Bezirksoberliga Lüneburg was made up of seventeen clubs, one from the Verbandsliga Niedersachsen-Ost, eleven from the Landesliga and five from the two Bezirksligas. The league was formed in a reorganisation of the league system in Lower Saxony, whereby the four regional Landsligas were replaced by the Bezirksoberligas. Below these, the number of Bezirksligas was increased. In Lüneburg, the two Bezirksligas were expanded to four, as in the other regions, except Weser-Ems, which was expanded to five.
The Bezirksoberliga, like the Landesliga before, was set in the league system below the Verbandsliga and above the now four Bezirksligas, which were numbered from one to four. The winner of the Bezirksoberliga was directly promoted to the Verbandsliga, while the bottom placed teams, in a varying number, were relegated to the Bezirksliga. The Bezirksoberligas of Weser-Ems and Hanover form the tier below the Verbandsliga West, while those of Lüneburg and Braunschweig form the tier below the eastern division of the Verbandsliga.
In the leagues first season, 2006–07, the runners-up of the league, Rot-Weiß Cuxhaven, was also promoted, like the runners-up from Braunschweig. In the following season, only the league champions were promoted while, in 2009, the Rot-Weiß Cuxhaven moved up a level as runners-up once more.
At the end of the 2007-08 season, with the introduction of the 3. Liga, the Verbandsliga was renamed Oberliga Niedersachsen-Ost. For the Bezirksoberliga, this had no direct consequences.
After the 2009-10 season, the two Oberligas () in Lower Saxony were merged to one single division. The four Bezirksoberliga champions that season were not be automatically promoted, instead they had to compete with the four teams placed ninth and tenth in the Oberliga for four more spots in this league.
On 17 May 2010, the Lower Saxony football association decided to rename the four Bezirksoberligas to Landesligas from 1 July 2010. This change in name came alongside the merger of the two Oberliga divisions above it into the Oberliga Niedersachsen.

6911656 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil%20Koperberg | Phil Koperberg | Philip Christian Koperberg (born 28 April 1943), is the Chairman of the New South Wales Emergency Management Committee, responsible for advising the New South Wales government on emergency response strategies, since 2011.
Koperberg is a former Australian politician, was the New South Wales Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water between 2007 and 2008; and was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, representing the electorate of the Blue Mountains for the Labor Party between 2007–2011. Prior to his political career, Koperberg was the Commissioner of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service (RFS) in Australia between 1997–2007.
In September 1997, Koperberg was appointed the RFS Commissioner when the Service was formed under the Rural Fires Act. Before this he had been Director-General of the New South Wales Bush Fire Service from May 1990. In March 2007 he was elected to State parliament and appointed to the Ministry. However, in December he was forced to stand aside due to a police investigation regarding domestic violence allegations from 1987. The NSW Director of Public Prosecutions declined to press charges and Koperberg was reinstated to the Ministry. He resigned from the Ministry on 22 February 2008. Koperberg did not recontest the 2011 state election.
Background
Dutch-born Koperberg arrived in Australia in 1953 from Indonesia. Prior to his involvement in emergency management, he worked in various fields including the finance industry.
Koperberg fought his first bushfire as a teenager on the South Coast in 1959. He joined the North Springwood Bush Fire Brigade (now Winmalee Rural Fire Brigade) as a volunteer in 1967, working his way up to become captain of that brigade in 1969 and fire control officer for the Blue Mountains Fire Control Officer between 1970 and 1982. He held positions as the inaugural chair of the Fire Control Officer's Association, chairman of the Bush Fire Council of New South Wales and executive officer of the then Bush Fires Branch of the Office of the Minister for Police and Emergency Services.
Commissioner of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service
In 1985 Koperberg was appointed Chairman of the Bush Fire Council of New South Wales and Executive Officer of the Bushfires Branch of the Office of the Minister for Police and Emergency Services. In 1993 he became of Commissioner of Bush Fire Services. On 1 September 1997, following the proclamation of the Rural Fires Act 1997, Phil Koperberg was appointed to the position of Commissioner of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.
In April 1999 when severe hail storms battered eastern Sydney causing damage to more than 30,000 properties Koperberg was appointed to operationally coordinate the emergency control / initial recovery effort. He continues to chair the Rural Fire Service Advisory Council, the Bush Fire Co-ordinating Committee and the State Rescue Board. He is a member and director of the Australasian Fire Authorities Council and a member of the Institute of Emergency Services.
Koperberg was Commissioner during the following major environmental events, most of which involved his professional skills:
1994 Eastern seaboard fires
1999 Sydney hailstorm
2001 Black Christmas/ Warragamba bushfires
2003 Canberra bushfires
2006 Jail Break Inn bushfire
2006 Pulletop bushfire
Legal actions
In 2007 it was revealed on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Four Corners TV program that legal action was launched by residents in the Blue Mountains against the NSW Rural Fire Service, the local fire brigade, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Sydney Catchment Authority, as a result of damage caused by the 2001 Black Christmas/Warragamba bushfires. In separate action, a negligence claim was lodged in the ACT Supreme Court for damages against the NSW and Australian Capital Territory governments resulting from the 2003 Canberra bushfires. Koperberg was listed as a defendant in the Canberra bushfires legal proceedings in which the appellant claimed that he called the NSW Rural Fire Service Fire Control Centre 24 times over ten days, but was ignored. In hearings before the ACT Supreme Court, Koperberg admitted that at a meeting held in Queanbeyan he had understated the threat of the bushfires to Canberra's western suburbs.
Political career
On 2 November 2006 Koperberg announced his intention to seek Labor Party preselection for the state seat of Blue Mountains in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly at the 2007 state election after Attorney-General and Environment Minister Bob Debus announced he would not recontest his safe Labor seat.
"The move comes despite denials as late as this week by Mr Koperberg that he had no plans to seek preselection in the seat which Labor holds by a 14.8 per cent margin. Mr Koperberg's years of high profile work fighting fires would make him a popular choice for the bushland electorate."
Almost immediately, it was revealed that Koperberg had been issued with an Apprehended Violence Order in 1987 after a domestic violence incident involving his wife of the time, Katherine Specking. On 6 November, Sydney radio personality Alan Jones made comment on air in response to these revelations:
On 12 January 2007, Koperberg stood down from his role as RFS Commissioner in order to begin his campaign for political office. Official notification was sent (via e-mail) to RFS staff the following day announcing that Assistant Commissioner Robin Rogers AFSM had assumed the role of Acting Commissioner.
In the 2007 NSW election, he was elected to the seat of Blue Mountains. On 30 March, New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma announced Koperberg would be the Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water. In the aftermath of the election, it was revealed that Koperberg's ex-wife Specking had been involved in an affair with Paul Gibson, the Member for Blacktown and as a result the two men were bitter rivals. Koperberg had in fact earlier suggested Gibson was behind the domestic violence allegations, accusing him of running a smear campaign "bordering on evil". However, Gibson was dumped from Cabinet almost immediately when he was accused of assault against an ex-lover, former Minister for Sport Sandra Nori, in 1991. Police later found Gibson had no case to answer.
On 2 December 2007, the claims regarding Koperberg's violence toward Specking re-emerged, this time with the additional implication that he had also assaulted his stepdaughter Paula Coad "with such force that one of her fillings was knocked out". Further claims were laid that the NSW Labor Party knew of the allegations before Koperberg's nomination for election and attempts were made to cover them up. Koperberg maintains he openly declared the allegations during the pre-selection process.
While Koperberg continues to deny any wrongdoing, he was stood down from the front bench of Parliament the following day while a police inquiry was instigated into the allegations, primarily due to pressure on Iemma to take action in light of the allegations against Gibson in March. On 9 January 2008, the police handed the results of their investigation into Koperberg to the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that there was speculation Specking and Coad were not prepared to make statements to the police, making it likely Koperberg would be cleared. On 17 January the prospect of any charges being laid was dismissed.
Koperberg resigned from the New South Wales Ministry on 22 February 2008, citing ill health. But an unnamed source close to Koperberg, cited in The Sydney Morning Herald, said that the real reason for his resignation from the ministry was that he was fed up with continuing unsubstantiated allegations being promulgated by his party colleague, Blacktown MP, Paul Gibson. Verity Firth took over as Minister for Environment and Climate Change and Nathan Rees as Minister for Water.
Koperberg remained on the backbench as member for the Blue Mountains. On 8 October 2010, Koperberg announced that he will not seek Labor Party endorsement or re-election at the 2011 state election citing "bruising factional fighting" and internal party politics.
Post-political career
Following the 2011 state election that was won by the O'Farrell-Stoner Liberal/National coalition, Koperberg was appointed as chairman of the State Emergency Management Committee. The committee is responsible for advising the NSW government on the state's emergency response strategies. In the wake of the 2013 New South Wales bushfires, the NSW Government appointed Koperberg to the position of Blue Mountains Bushfire Recovery Coordinator. Koperberg is also a member of the Emergency Leaders for Climate Action - a growing cohort of former senior Australian fire and emergency service leaders who have observed how Australia is experiencing increasingly catastrophic extreme weather events that are putting lives, properties and livelihoods at greater risk and overwhelming emergency services.

He played a significant role in the early development of Internet in Italy and other countries in Eastern Europe, such as Croatia.
Being interested in the regulatory side as well as the technical, he also played a key role in the Internet governance of Italy since 1985. He co-founded in 1998 the ccTLD ".it" policy board (Naming Authority), where he eventually became Chair of the Board of Directors. In 2004, once the Naming Authority evolved into the Rules Committee, he was one of the appointed members.
Focused since the very beginning toward the Open Source, in 1992 he co-founded Nexus, the first ISP in Italy based exclusively on Linux and open technologies.
In 1993, Mazzucchi co-founded Gedi, one of the first companies in Italy for distance learning.
In 1995, he founded Istria On Line, the first ISP in Croatia, and worked on Internet pilot projects in Bulgaria and Hungary, mostly establishing TCP/IP over X.25 Internet connections for international businesses.
He is an active member of the Internet community, being co-founder, with Giancarlo Livraghi, of ALCEI, initially conceived as the Italian branch of EFF.
He is also co-founder of the Italian chapter of ISOC, where he served on the Board of Directors

The Celtics entered the season as the defending NBA Champions, coming off an NBA Finals victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games, and increasing their NBA Finals victories over the Lakers to 8.
On March 3, 1985, Kevin McHale surpassed Larry Bird's Celtics single game scoring record when he netted 56 points against the Detroit Pistons. Less than two weeks later, on March 12, Bird answered, scoring a career-high 60 points against the Atlanta Hawks.
In the playoffs, the Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the First Round in four games, the Detroit Pistons in the Semi-finals in six games, and the Philadelphia 76ers in the Conference Finals in five games to advance to the NBA Finals. In the Finals, they faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers, the team who they beat in last season's NBA Finals in seven games, and have beaten a total of 8 consecutive times in their NBA Finals matchups. However, the Celtics were defeated in six games by the Lakers, marking the first time the Celtics were defeated by the Lakers in the NBA Finals. This also marked the first time the Celtics lost the NBA Finals at home.
Trivia
A majority of this team moved onto coaching later in their careers. Kevin McHale, Rick Carlisle, Larry Bird, Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson, and Sam Vincent have all coached in the NBA.

6911673 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolay%C4%B1r | Bolayır | Bolayır is a town in the Gelibolu district of Çanakkale Province, situated on the Gallipoli Peninsula in the European part of Turkey.
The settlement was formerly a village. It received in 1958 the status of a town. According to the 2007 census, Bolayır's population is 1871.
The türbe (tomb) of Süleyman Pasha (1316–1357), son of Orhan I, the second Bey of the Ottoman Empire and the grave of the Turkish nationalist poet Namık Kemal (1840–1888) are located in Bolayır. On 26 January 1913, Bolayır was the site of the Battle of Bulair, a major Bulgarian victory over the Ottomans during the First Balkan War.
Bolayır was also the site of the Gallipoli Campaign (1915–1916) during the World War I.
The traditional Greek name of Bolayır is Πλαγιάρι (Plagiari) and in Bulgarian the town is known as Булаир (Bulair). It may the same settlement known as Branchialion in medieval times or, if not, very close to it. A village in Dolni Chiflik Municipality, Varna Province bears the name Bulair in honour of the Bulgarian victory at Bolayır and a Bulgarian military march, the Bulair March, was written to commemorate the battle.
The ruins of the Ancient Greek city of Lysimachia lie nearby.

20486923 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric%20Poisson | Jean-Frédéric Poisson | Jean-Frédéric Poisson (born 22 January 1963) is a French right-wing politician and the president of VIA, the Way of the People (previously called the Christian Democratic Party). He was mayor of Rambouillet from 2004 to 2007, then became a National Assembly member from 2007 to 2017.
Early life and education
Poisson was born 22 January 1963 in Belfort, the son of Burgundian parents. He and his four younger siblings spent their early years in Drôme. When the 1973 oil crisis hit, their father, a technician, lost his job and the family moved to the Villeneuve-la-Garenne area of Paris; his parents divorced not long after. Poisson lived in low-income housing for fifteen years and attended 8 schools, including reformatories, and was suspended from 7. He often left classes to do odd jobs around town to help support his family. By the time he turned 19, he was the president of the local House of Youth and Culture (MJC), which organized tutoring and summer camps for foster (DDASS) children.
On 30 January 1982 at 9:15am, he claims to have been "touched by divine grace" while sitting in philosophy class. Despite having been raised agnostic, this experience made him convert to Catholicism.
Poisson graduated from the Free Faculties of Philosophy and Psychology (IPC Paris) for a licence in philosophy in 1986, then went on to pursue a PhD in philosophy in ethics from Paris-Sorbonne University. He completed his dissertation, Bioethics, ethics, and humanism: the French laws of 1994, in 2001. He returned to school in 2011 to obtain a second licence, this time a degree in labor law from the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, which he completed in 2011.
He initially began his post-graduate career in human resources in the metallurgical sector before briefly running a consulting company.
Career
Poisson met Christine Boutin in 1993 at a talk she was giving about bioethics. He approached her afterwards and he eventually became her right-hand man; what was supposed to be a few-month-long partnership lasted for 10 years. He credits her with his subsequent involvement in politics. Only two years later, he joined the Rambouillet Municipal Council and later served at deputy mayor under Gérard Larcher. He served as mayor between 2004 and 2007 before joining the National Assembly to represent Yvelines's 10th constituency. He ran in the legislative election as a member of UPM, now known as The Republicans. He contended for his seat again in 2009 but was beaten by Anny Poursinoff. Months later, however, he succeeded Butin after a by-election following her appointment to Minister of Housing and Urban Development by Nicolas Sarkozy. He won 53% of votes in the 2012 legislative elections and served until 2017. During his time in the Assembly, he served on the Cultural, Family, and Social Affairs Committee; was vice president of the Law Committee; and played on the Assembly's rugby team. In 2017, he also lost the municipal majority for the first time since 1995. He was beaten by Rambouillet deputy mayor Gilles Schmidt, who Poisson claimed had promised he wouldn't run in the election. Poisson contacted Mayor Marc Roberts and demanded he sanction Schmidt for disloyalty.
In 2013, Boutin resigned from her role as president of the Christian Democratic Party and Poisson was appointed in her place. In 2015, Poisson announced he would be running in the Republican primaries ahead of the 2017 French presidential election, which he qualified for as president of the Christian Democratic Party without having to gain voter support first. He came sixth in the first round with 1.5% of the vote and was eliminated.
In 2020, he announced he would be running in the for president in 2022 but withdrew his campaign in December 2021. He left the Rambouillet Municipal Council the same year after 25 years of service. As of 2021, Poisson has written three books: Bioéthique : l'homme contre l'homme? (Bioethics: Man against man?) (2007); L'Islam à la conquête de l'Occident: La stratégie dévoilée (Islam conquers the West: The strategy unveiled) (2018); and La voix du peuple (The peoples’ voice) (2020).
Political beliefs
COVID-19 pandemic
Poisson is very critical of France’s actions during the 2020 COVID-19 quarantine periods; he claimed they would not work, and incorrectly argued that more than 850 people have died due to the COVID vaccine. He battled mask-wearing mandates in legislative bodies in July 2020 and again in September; and against curfew for high-risk occupations in October. He has led protests against the “restricti[on] of freedoms" along with Patriots leader Florian Philippot. He accused the government of “kill[ing] the country” and argued that people were developing more psychiatric disorders, experiencing more mental distress, and struggling with inaccessible autonomy during the pandemic.
Education
Poisson is strongly in favour of the reformation of how history is taught in French schools and believes that French language instruction should be better prioritized, including compulsory language proficiency in primary school. He supports reformatory schools and requiring school uniforms. He also wants more autonomy for schools; more independent schools outside of the French education system; and for teachers to "enter into private law contracts."
Family, gender, and sexuality
Family is one Poisson’s core values; he thinks it should be a central part of everyone’s life and that the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development should be treated as more important than environmental ministries because “parents and children are more important than butterflies or blades of grass.” The importance of this topic manifests as strong opposition to same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples, access to medically assisted reproduction (such as IVF), and surrogacy options for any couple. He even calls for a global ban on surrogates, claiming that women would become commodified and that surrogacy is already “a form of modern slavery.” He has stated that same-sex couples want to adopt just in the name of equality; he does not believe that a child without both a mother and father has a complete family. He also strictly opposes the right to abortion. However, he does not think that pro-abortion websites should be censored or banned by the government.
He is particularly critical of marriage equality and was the only candidate in the 2016 Republican primaries to oppose it. He is active in anti marriage equality movements such as the Manif Pour Tous and has attended demonstrations calling for the repeal of Christiane Taubira’s 2013 Law 2013-404, which enabled same-sex couples to marry and to adopt. Though he appears to support the equality of men and women, he has been accused of sexism after telling Le Figaro that he considers female colleagues “part of the feast” when legislation is held in a hemicycle.
Labour and economy
Despite being a major proponent of universal basic income, Poisson also wants to reform taxation in a way that would give companies more tax breaks. He would like hiring practices and the labour code to be reformed into something more flexible, both for the company and for new university graduates “between their studies and their profession.” Other tax reformation ideas include micro-taxing and a flat tax. He believes the country is in a wage crisis and calls for the restoration of family allowance. He also wants France to withdraw from NATO.
Nationalism, immigration, and international relations
Poisson is a strong French nationalist and Eurosceptic, and believes that France should be monocultural. He believes in a fractured government where there are intermediary governmental bodies rather than an omnipotent state. He and Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the nationalistic political party Debout la France, launched Lovers of France (Amoreux de la France) in 2017 to rally “French patriots” to develop a governmental program in-line with nationalist values. Shortly after, Yann Barthès made a comment on his news show ‘’Quotidien’’ encouraging his audience to register for the Lovers of France with false information. Poisson and Dupont-Aignan accused him of sabotage and filed a complaint with the Superior Audiovisual Council.
He calls for the reinstatement of blood law, which grants French citizenship only to children born in France to French parents. He also believes French citizens should be able to decide what kind and how much social assistance foreign nationals receive, and that immigrants should not have access to state medical care. He opposes family reunification and wants to overall reduce the number of immigrants coming into France.
Since 2015, he has been working with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad against ISIS. He does not support the regime itself but trusts that a partnership will better protect and strengthen both countries, and that Syria is “the key to the Middle East.” He has expressed interest in a treaty with Vladimir Putin and Russia to fight terrorism as well. He voted “no” to the Maastricht Treaty and still believes the EU should be dissolved and that French borders should be closed; he also wants to renegotiate the terms of the Schengen Agreement. In the event that the EU stays intact, however, he would prefer to see the biggest political responsibilities handled by the richest European countries.
Religion
Poisson is strongly islamophobic; while he does not have any issues with Muslims themselves, he does have "a problem [with] Islam." He is in favour of suppressing the French Council of the Muslim Faith, but is unbothered by the current laws regarding wearing religious symbols. He wants France to dictate to Muslims what the country expects "in exchange for the guarantee of their rights, their dignity and the decency of the conditions of practice of their faith." Poisson is in favour of withdrawing French memory law, which criminalizes denial or minimization of the Holocaust. In 2016, he was criticized for anti-Semitic comments made about the danger of bending to Hillary Clinton's "Zionist lobbyists." Dismissal from the Republican primaries was briefly discussed and he apologized, saying he did not mean any offense and that he wanted to "reiterate here all the friendships I have for the state of Israel and for the Jewish people as a whole."
As a Catholic, Poisson is deeply interested in returning to the "Christian roots" of France through the Constitution. He is also against working on Sundays.
Support of other candidates
In 2016/2017, Poisson supported François Fillon in the French elections and Donald Trump in the American elections; he endorsed Trump again in 2020 and referred to him as someone who “invites us to take destiny in hand.” He has voiced sympathies for the National Rally;, would have voted for conservative Béziers mayor Robert Ménard had he been in the voting constituency; and said that, if Éric Zemmour made support of the “weakest” a more central part of his platform, then he would withdraw from the presidential race to make way for Zemmour’s victory. In 2022, Poisson stated he was supporting Éric Zemmour and would be joining Reconquête.
Other stances
Poisson regularly campaigns for a more humane prison system and for the introduction of a 7-year, non-renewable term in the National Assembly. He is also in favour of reestablishing mandatory national service, which, in lieu of military service, might be “environmental, associative,” or educational. Similarly, he thinks France should give at least 2,5% of its GDP to the defense budget and that they should increase the army size to more than 300,000 men. In terms of medicine, Poisson is opposed to healthcare that rewards those who have a healthy lifestyle and/or penalize those who don’t; he calls this idea Orwellian and thinks it would eventually evolve into the government having full control over life choices.
Personal life
Poisson and his wife, a psychologist, have no children. He started learning Arabic in 2014 so he could read the Quaran to better understand the intent behind it. He hunts during his spare time.

6911675 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitevine%20Meadows | Whitevine Meadows | Whitevine Meadows () is a 13.0 hectare (32.0 acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of North and South Perrott in Somerset, notified in 1979.
This site consists of a nationally rare type of neutral grassland together with adjoining areas of scrub and ancient woodland. The Whitevine meadow is unusual in being one of only three British localities where the grass Gaudinia fragilis is a prominent and established component of the sward. The scrub provides nest sites for several species of bird, including nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos). Clearings within the scrub support a mixed flora with saw-wort (Serratula tinctoria), yellow-wort (Blackstonia perfoliata) and autumn gentian (Gentianella amarella). These sheltered glades provide favourable climatic conditions for butterflies including marbled white (Melanargia galathea) and silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis paphia).

17344658 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake%20Yoa | Lake Yoa | Lake Yoa is the most famous, and second largest of the Lakes of Ounianga, a series of Lakes in Borkou-Ennedi-Tibesti Region basin of northeastern Chad. It is located in the Ounianga Kebir about 40 km west of Ounianga Sarir. These lakes are remnants of a much larger lake which occupied this basin during the African Humid period which lasted from approximately 15,000 to 5,500 years before present. There are currently 15 lakes in the basin with a total surface area of approximately square.
Climate change
Lake Yoa recently became of interest in the study of global climate trends when a team headed by Stefan Kröpelin, of the University of Cologne, recovered a core of sediment from the bottom of the lake. Because Lake Yoa has been in existence continuously since the Humid Period its waters have protected the sediments accumulated at the bottom from erosion and dispersal. After analysis of the pollen preserved in the core, Kröpelin and his colleagues concluded that the shift from forest to desert in the area of Lake Yoa occurred gradually, with intervening periods of scrubland and grassland before the onset of full desert conditions. This conclusion contrasts with work done by Peter deMenocal of Columbia University and colleagues, who in 2000 drilled a core of ocean sediment off the western coast of Mauritania. Because of the dust levels in this core deMenocal and his co-authors concluded that desert conditions came on quickly, over a period of a few centuries.
The discrepancies between these two accounts are not surprising given the differences in the data examined. The ocean core represents what is essentially a mass survey of the entire northern portion of the African land mass while the Lake Yoa data would survey more specifically conditions in the areas to the south and west of it, which supplied material to the prevailing trade winds of Holocene time before they crossed Lake Yoa. It is possible both that, northern Africa became quickly and generally drier, and that, in specific areas the process of desertification moved through a series of more gradual ecological transitions. (Ranson, 2008). The second report also did not take into account the geographic distance Lake Yoa is from the Atlantic Ocean. A distance of over 2000 Kilometers.

26723453 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario%20Machado | Mario Machado | Mário Machado (born Mário José de Souza Machado; April 22, 1935 – May 4, 2013) was a television and radio broadcaster and actor. He made television history when, in 1970, he became the first Chinese-American on-air television news reporter and anchor in Los Angeles and perhaps in the nation.
Early life
Machado was born in Shanghai, China. His father, Carlos Jacinto de Lourdes Gouveia Furtado Machado, was a vice-chancellor of the Portuguese Consulate in Shanghai, and his mother, Chinese-Portuguese Maria Teresa de Sousa, was a homemaker.
After studying for two years at St. John's Military Academy in Los Angeles at the age of 11, Machado's education was obtained at the British Thomas Hanbury School, St. Francis Xavier College in Shanghai, and a business college in Hong Kong. He emigrated to Seattle in 1956, and became a US citizen in 1965.
Career
Before entering the broadcasting field, Machado worked in management for IBM Corporation.
Television
Machado's television career began in 1967, when he signed on at KHJ-TV (now KCAL-TV) as an on-air news reporter, a first for a Chinese American. The following year he began working as a color commentator at CBS owned-and-operated KNXT (now KCBS-TV) in Los Angeles. In 1969, he became the first Consumer Affairs reporter in the nation at KNXT. He became a regular reporter in 1970 on the CBS nightly broadcast, The Big News, which was Los Angeles' most popular newscast in the 1960s. He worked there with news icon, Jerry Dunphy.
In the early and mid-1970s, Machado hosted the daily news and interview show, Noontime, which aired for seven years on KNXT.
In 1982, he was the announcer of the short-lived syndicated game show called That **** Quiz Show (That Awful! Quiz Show), hosted by Greg & John Rice.
As host of the nationally acclaimed medical investigation show, Medix, which ran for 208 episodes over eight seasons, he was nominated three times for "Outstanding Achievement as Host." The show garnered several Emmys and Emmy nominations.
When not hosting his own talk shows or anchoring the news, Machado often played the part of a reporter, news anchor, or himself on many popular television programs.
Film
On the big screen, as well, Machado often portrayed a news anchor or reporter, notably as Casey Wong in the three RoboCop films. Among the other notable films in which he plays the reporter are Brian's Song (1971), Oh, God! (1977), The Concorde ... Airport '79 (1979), Rocky III (1982), and Scarface (1983).
Machado also appeared as himself in the Banacek episode "Detour to Nowhere" (1972), Blue Thunder (1983), Without Warning (1994), and An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (1997).
Machado's most recent appearance was in a 2010 documentary, Shanghai Exodus, for which he also acted as consultant.
Machado's distinctive voice can also be heard on a number of films for Retinitis Pigmentosa International's TheatreVision, which provides blind audiences with a description of what is happening on the screen.
Sports
As a star collegiate athlete and former soccer player, Machado was able to indulge his love for soccer by serving as the English language commentator at four FIFA World Cup soccer championships: in Mexico (1970), Germany (1974), Argentina (1978) and Spain (1982) for audiences throughout North America, and also at the 1984 Olympic Games.
He was the Voice of Soccer for the CBS Television Network in 1968 and in 1976, covering the North American Soccer League (NASL). He did the television play-by-play of both legs for CBS' broadcast of the NASL's first championship. He hosted the weekly soccer program, The Best of the World Cup for the Spanish International Network. Machado hosted Star Soccer from England on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Public television stations for six years.
He served as Commissioner of the American Soccer League in 1981.
Between 1976 and 1984 he published Soccer Corner Magazine, for fellow enthusiasts of the sport.
When the English Premier League was formed in 1992, Machado was the narrator of the weekly Prem highlights program produced in England and syndicated nationally across the United States.
He was one of the founding members of AYSO with his friend Hans Stierle, and in 1971 he helped change AYSO policy to allow girls to play. In recognition for his contributions to the sport, Machado was inducted into the AYSO Hall of Fame in 1999.
Old China Hands
As president of MJM Communications, Machado has produced numerous special events including the Beverly Hills St. Patrick's Day Parades of 1985 and 1986, the Pet Parade, and the Festival of Nations for Los Angeles County's 150th anniversary, and in 1986, he produced the first official Spanish language coverage of the Rose Parade for Telemundo/KVEA.
An event that has produced results that are still ongoing is the Old China Hands Reunion of 1996. Between September 3 and September 9 of that year 1,100 former residents of China from all corners of the world gathered at MGM Grand Las Vegas hotel in Las Vegas for a reunion that has been called by attendees the biggest and best Old China Hands Reunion.
A large collection of oral histories of individuals who left China in the 1940s and 1950s were gathered by Machado and co-producer, Barbara Egyud, at this event, in collaboration with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas History Department, formed the nucleus of the Old China Hands Archive housed at the University Library at California State University, Northridge. Robert Gohstand, a retired Geography professor at CSUN and Shanghai classmate of Machado, recognized the importance of saving these stories for posterity, and now heads the Old China Hands Archive at California State University, Northridge which was inaugurated in 2002.
Personal life
Machado's marriage to Marie Christine D’Almada Remedios produced four children.
Machado died on May 4, 2013, in West Hills, California.

It was built by Richard Bendell, designed by Ross Holder and the chassis builder was Michael Borland. So far eight have been built, by Victorian race car builder Borland Racing Developments, with the first car built in 2001. It has competed in several Australian tarmac rallies since, including Targa Tasmania and Targa West.
As well as the Shelby Daytona, the car bears some resemblance to the Ford Shelby GR-1, a 2005 concept car which was based on the same 1964 model.
Specifications
Weighing , it is powered by a 6.0 litre (360 in³) LS1 Gen. III V8 engine, which is also used in the Holden Monaro. Top speed is . The chassis is a purpose built space frame. As well as the engine, the car uses mainly Holden Commodore SS components including the brakes, wheels, differential, steering column and controls. It has traction control and ABS braking systems.
Fatal accident
Australian racing car champion Peter Brock was killed driving a Daytona (coincidentally the original Shelby Daytona was designed by another Peter Brock) owned by Richard Bendell in the Targa West rally on 8 September 2006, when it left the road and hit a tree sideways, in the driver's door.
In an interview the day before the crash, Brock said of the car:

Teams were required to be strictly amateur, so players from the Canadian-based National Hockey League (NHL) or other professional leagues were excluded. Canada sent the Toronto Granites, who had won the 1923 Allan Cup, the amateur championship in Canada.

20486933 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obolo%20people | Obolo people | The Obolo People (also called Andoni or Idoni), is an ethnic group in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria (constituting part of the proposed Obolo State). Obolo people are found in Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State, and Abia State. They have historical relations with Oron people, Ohafia, Ogoloma, Ido, and Ibeno people, who are also of the Niger Delta.
The Obolo people occupy the longest stretch of the Niger Delta mangroves belt, which also houses the largest oil and gas deposits in the Gulf of Guinea. The Andoni people refer to God as "Awaji".
Historical background
Origin/migration
Historically, there is little or fragmentary documention on Obolo origin and migration but many writers on this subject depend on the oral tradition of the people that claims their origin from Benin. Others suggest that they migrated from Egypt through Benin. Earliest dating relevant to Obolo migration is put around 12th century BC.
Obolo people the Andoni (called Idoni or Indo) before the colonial era when commercial contacts with European traders and with the Bonny, Okrika, Kalabari, Nkoro, and Ette people of present Ikot-Abasi as well as the Okoro-utip and Mkpanak people of Ibeno. In the past, Obolo people frequently fought wars with the Bonny and Ogoni people.
Andoni traditional rulers (Oru-Obolo)
The following have been rulers:
His Royal Majesty, King J. W Okuruket Nnabiget (XIV) JP, Okaan Ama Ngo Land. (Chairman Andoni Traditional Rulers Council)
His Supreme Majesty, King (Dr.) Israel. U. Otuo (IX) JP, Okaan Ama Ido Unyeada Kingdom
His Royal Majesty, King Aaron Miller Ikuru, Okaan Ama Ikuru Town
His Royal Majesty, King Benson Mgbo-Owaji Hebron Egwenre-Oruk(XVIi), Okaan Ama Ataba, Rivers State
Places in Andoni
Andoni (Obolo) territory contains many rivers, including Kwa Ibo River, Imo River, (Nkon Toru), Andoni River and Bonny River. At the western part of the Obolo land, the deltaic estuaries influenced its formation into a network of islands. Andoni villages and towns are situated on islands with many smaller fishing settlements. An aerial view of the picturesque Andoni Islands display a sort of shattered constellation on the surface of water.

Tradition of Obolo people
The Andoni people are thought to be the fiercest warriors in the Niger Delta. they have fought many wars with the Ogonis yet the two tribes remained best of friends. The Andoni (Obolo) also migrated and settled in various parts of Niger Delta and West Africa including Ibeno and Oron in Akwa Ibom, Andoni, Kala-Ido and Ogoloma in Okrika and Kalabari in Rivers State, also Igbere in Abia State. The Andoni people are very cultural, among the key towns are Ngo (Gogo), Ebukuma, Ikuru (Ama Ikwut), Ataba, Ekede, Agwut-Obolo, Okoromboko, Okoroete, Iko, Elile and Amadaka (Eastern Obolo axis), Asarama, Unyeada, Dema, Ataba, Illotombi, Egbormung, Ajakajak, Isiodum, etc.
The Nwantam masquerade of Andoni celebrated every first January is one of the highlights of Obolo festivities, which they share with the Opobo, Nkoro, and Bonny. Their ancient practices includes a writing system known as nsibidi, ofiokpo cult, ngbegbengbe, and the war dance. The fishing festival (Ijok-Irin) is special and peculiar to the people of Unyeada Kingdom.
Ijok-Irin annual fishing festival was originated by migrant fishing folks who always return home from fishing expeditions at end of each traditional fishing season between July and August for the presentation of their biggest catch, usually through smoked preservation to the King of the kingdom (Okaan-Ama) as trophies; it is the culture of Obolo people that the biggest catch cannot be eaten alone or sold. Due to its ecotourism potential, the festival in recent years has been rebranded to attract tourists.
Culture
1904 British expedition
Prior to the British colonial era, the Obolo people were among the first to come in contact with the Europeans and traded mainly with the Portuguese. They worshipped a national deity (god) called Yok-Obolo, who is the founder/spiritual head of the Obolo people elevated to a god upon death.
Christianity was already accepted in Obolo land long before 1699 (As recorded when John Barbot visited Dony Town (Andoni) in 1699, he observed that the King of Dony Town accepted Christianity and priests were regularly sent from Sao Tome and Brazil to minister to him, The king of Dony town also spoke Portuguese. Despite Christianity, the Yok-Obolo was still feared among neighbouring tribes (Bonny, Opobo, Ibibio/Efiks, Ogonis, etc.), which made them spread terrifying news about the Obolo people to the British colonial masters.
In 1869. King Jaja had to enter an oath of allegiance with the Yok-Obolo before he was allowed to establish his new town Opobo (1970) in the Andoni territory. This was against the wish of Bishop Ajayi Crowther who lamented that King Jaja was entering the “Heart of Darkness” when he came to Obolo (Andoni) is 1869 for a treaty with the Obolos
When the stories against the Obolo (Andoni) were so much the British Colonial Authorities decided to send a punitive expedition against them in 1904, Which was led by Captain A.A. Whitehouse with the sole aim of destroying Obolo (Andoni) as a political entity and reducing their influence among neighbouring tribes in the Niger Delta. On arrival, A.A. Whitehouse and his military team went straight to Alabie Town (Agwut-Obolo), burnt and destroyed the high altar of the deity of the Obolo Monarchy (Yok-obolo), and the site of the House of Skulls with over 2,000 skulls of Obolo (Andoni) enemies killed in wars.
The British destroyed the House of Skulls and the Shrine of Yok-Obolo in 1904 and split Andoni into six parts, each attached to one of the six Native Courts in the Niger Delta with the aim of destroying Obolo politically. Some of the bronze arts and crafts collected by the British from Andoni (Obolo) during this Expedition are currently on display in the British Museum.
Oil and gas exploration
Obolo land, which spanned from the Oron territory in Akwa Ibom State to Bight of bonny in Rivers State, is has significant natural resources. Major part of Nigeria's oil and gas revenue is generated from Obolo land.
Tourism and conservation
In a recent report by the UNDP on Niger Delta Biodiversity Project, Andoni Island is recorded as the most endemic island in the Nigeria. It is home to some of the six IUCN Red List mammals, most notably though recent information on population numbers is not available, is the endangered (Niger Delta) Forest elephant (Loxodonta African cyclotis).
Others are: the West African manatee (Trichechus Senegalensis), the White-throated guenon (Cercopithecus erythrogaster), the Sclater's guenon (Cercopithecus sclateri), the Niger Delta Red Colobus Monkey (Procolobus epieni). Other wildlife resources available are the Nile crocodile, aquatic Antelopes, forest Hog, Pyton and Waterbuck.
In recent years, Pygmy hippopotami are out of sight in Andoni. Also, the island's Atlantic beaches are breeding ground to four endangered species of sea turtle: the Leatherback sea turtle ( Dermochelys carretta), Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), Olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), Loggerhead sea turtle (Carretta caretta), and the critically endangered hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata).
An Andoni Elephant Sanctuary was proposed by the Rivers State Government in 1980, during the regime of Chief Melford Okilo, but largely remained as unprotected community forest land that cut across over 20 communities. The sanctuary is located on a stretch of Andoni Barrier island measuring about 124Km2. In recent times, the Nigerian Conservation Foundation and a community-based organization, Save Andoni Forest Elephant Initiative (Safe-i) in collaboration with the Local Government Council have commenced conservation work to preserve the wildlife species found on the island.
Almost all parts of Andoni Local Government Area can be reached by road and by sea. A trip to Oyorokoto, christened as the largest fishing settlement in West African coast will offer tourists the touch of the Atlantic Ocean. Andoni Island is Nigeria's most endemic island.
Language
The Obolo people speak the Obolo language as the only native language. Obolo language contributes to the identity of the people of Andoni and Eastern Obolo. It is one of the 535 languages in Nigeria and belongs in Lower Cross River language sub-branch of Delta Cross branches of the Eastern Division of South Central Niger Congo language family.

Production
Clive Donner had been an editor on Genevieve, I am a Camera and other films. This was his first film as director.
Filming took place at Pinewood Studios, starting in June 1956.
Anthony Steel was meant to play the male lead but he broke his contract with Rank and was replaced by Ronald Lewis. The film also gave David McCallum his breakthrough role.
Reception
Variety said "the East End setting among London’s bombed sites provides an intriguing background for this crime meller. But the story unspools too casually, dissipating too much of the potential tension.. As it stands, it's a modest b.o. bet. moderately entertaining."
Lindsay Anderson, writing in the New Statesman called the opening sequence "the most exciting sequence seen on a (wide) screen in this country in the last five years" and said the film was "a remarkably assured and craftsmanlike start" for Donner's career.
The Monthly Film Bulletin said the film "gains strongly over the average British crime thriller in its concern to establish a realistic background and setting. The East End locations are well chosen and freshly observed; the characters (apart from the two criminals, who seem rather unduly public school) quite convincingly inhabit this world of grey back streets and derelict bomb-sites. The balance between action sequences (the neatly-staged robbery and the final chase) and character study is well sustained, and Belinda Lee gives her best performance to date."
The British Film Institute praised the "remarkable debut screenplay by Linette Perry, which manages to intertwine the generic conventions of the heist thriller with a simple, but poetic, moral drama. In Perry's world the secret places stretch beyond the physical – the record player, gang hideouts and derelict buildings – into the hearts of the young protagonists. Faced with opportunity and misguided by love, the characters are all confronted with their own buried selfishness."
Filmink called it a "minor classic" and claimed that it the one film in Belinda Lee's career that comes close to cult status.

6911694 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89douard%20Roditi | Édouard Roditi | Édouard Roditi (6 June 1910 in Paris, France – 10 May 1992 in Cadiz, Spain) was an American poet, short-story writer, critic and translator.
Literary career
A prolific writer, Édouard Roditi published numerous volumes of poetry, short stories, and art criticism starting with Poems for F (Paris: Éditions du Saggitaire, 1935). He was also well regarded as a translator, rendering into English original works from French, German, Spanish, Danish, Portuguese and Turkish. He was, for instance, one of the first to translate the work of French poet Saint-John Perse into English, in a volume published in 1944.
In 1961, he translated Yaşar Kemal's epic novel İnce Memed (1955) under the English title Memed, My Hawk. This book was instrumental in introducing the famed Turkish writer to the English-speaking world. Memed, My Hawk is still in print. Roditi was a cousin of Kemal's wife, Thilda Serrero. Roditi also translated Robert Schmutzler's Art Nouveau (1964) into English, in an edition that is still in print. He also translated such authors as C.P. Cavafy, Paul Celan, Albert Memmi, Fernando Pessoa.
In addition to his poetry and translations, Roditi is perhaps best remembered for the numerous interviews he conducted with modernist artists, including Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Oskar Kokoschka, Philippe Derome and Hannah Höch. Several of these have been assembled in the collection Dialogues on Art.
Reflecting his wide reading of works on sexuality as well as his personal experience, Roditi also published a book-length essay in French on homosexuality titled De l'homosexualité (Paris: Société des Éditions Modernes/SEDIMO, 1962). The work assesses historical, sociological, religious, medical, legal and literary approaches to the subject; it closes with a seven-page bibliography of sources in French, English and German.
Upbringing, schooling & early jobs
Édouard Roditi's father was a Sephardi Jew from Istanbul who became an American citizen. His mother was of Ashkenazi and Flemish Catholic descent, and a British citizen. He was born in Paris, where his parents had already been living for a number of years.
Roditi grew up in France and attended public school there before going on to study in England at Elstree School, Charterhouse and briefly at Balliol College, Oxford. In 1929, he moved back to Paris, where he frequented the proponents of Surrealism and became a partner in the Surrealist publishing house Éditions du Saggitaire. During this period, he visited the celebrated salon of Gertrude Stein, whom he found "incredibly pretentious" and "rather offensive."
Roditi traveled to the United States in 1929 and 1932, meeting members of the Harlem Renaissance as well as novelist and photographer Carl van Vechten. He returned in 1937 to take a bachelor's degree in Romance languages at the University of Chicago, then went on to do graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley. During World War II, he served in the French short-wave broadcast unit of the United States Office of War Information and as a translator for the State Department and the Defense Department.
Following the war, he served as a multilingual interpreter for the United Nations Charter Conference in San Francisco. He subsequently returned to Europe to work as a freelance interpreter for international organizations and conferences, including the International War Crimes Tribunal at Nuremberg. In 1950, during the "Lavender Scare", he was fired from that job. Roditi was part of the Benton Way Group with Charles Aufderheide.
Personal life
Édouard Roditi had recognized that he was attracted to other men from an early age, and he actively explored the homosexual milieu of dance halls, bars, bathhouses and public cruising areas in Paris starting in his teen years and continuing in other places where he lived thereafter.
Among Roditi's close friends in France in the early 1930s was the American homosexual poet Hart Crane. In the United States in the late 1930s, Roditi befriended a fellow gay Jewish writer Paul Goodman.
Roditi's first book, "Poems for F.," printed in 250 copies in 1935, was inspired by a two-year affair with a married man, probably an Austrian painter, 20 years older than the poet. Roditi kept the identity of F. secret to the end of his life.
In his romantic life, Roditi followed an early-20th-century pattern of seeking out partners among men who did not identify as gay. In a 1984 interview, he recalled, "Personally, I have never been particularly attracted to outright homosexuals, and most of my more enjoyable and lasting relationships have been with bisexual or otherwise normal men in whose love life I was an exception."
He considered himself "thrice chosen" by being Jewish, homosexual, and epileptic, as expressed in his anthology titled "Thrice Chosen" (1981).

6911700 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaa%C4%9Fa%C3%A7%2C%20Edirne | Karaağaç, Edirne | Karaağaç is a suburb of Edirne in northwestern Turkey at the border with Greece. Karaağaç is 4 km southwest from the center of Edirne, across the river Maritsa and opposite the Greek village Kastanies. In 1890, the large Karaağaç railway station was built in the town, which also served Edirne, becoming the last train stop in Turkey to Europe. In 1971, Turkish State Railways (TCDD) constructed a new railway station at the opposite side of the river, abandoning the former one, which is now used as Trakya University's Faculty of Fine Arts..
The Treaty of Lausanne Monument and Museum, which opened in 1998, are located next to the former railway station.
Etymology
The name Karaağaç can be translated as elm or elm wood. or
History
When Greece held the town (1920-1923), Karaağaç was renamed Orestias, in remembrance of the ancient Thracian town with the same name, which probably lay near or at the site of present-day Edirne. Orestias or Orestia is thought to have been the same town as Uscudama (other variants: Uskudama, Uskadama, Uskodama) or Odrysa (other variants: Odrysia, Odrysos, Odrysus) which was the first Odrysian capital. Orestias took its name by the Greeks, at least from the time Philip II of Macedon took over the town. The Roman emperor Hadrian expanded the town into a city, gave it a strong fortification and renamed it Hadrianopolis. However the name Orestias was still used by many writers at the Byzantine era, along with Adrianoupolis.

Castilla was a frequent critics of local government corruption in Córdoba Department. In particular, Castilla was known for reporting on Salvatore Mancuso, a local paramilitary leader who was extradited to the United States to face drug trafficking charges in 2008. Mancuso had strong links to local politicians and business interests. He had received death threats for reporting on the connection between local politicians and paramilitary death squads which operate in northern Colombia. He had bodyguards for two years.

Castilla's killing was the second murder of a journalist in Colombia in 2010. Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, who owns a ranch near Monteria, condemned Castilla's murder, "We have made every effort to stop the threat of assassinations against journalists...Just when we thought we had overcome the tragic situation, more killings of journalists appear. The police posted a $26,000 USD reward for the capture of his killers.
Rafael Gomez, the editor and owner of La Voz de Monteria radio station, where Castilla worked at the time of his death, explained that Córdoba Department is a particularly dangerous area for journalists in Colombia, "We are in the worst location in Colombia...Nobody dares to say anything. We are the only ones."

56565072 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo%20Derby | Kosovo Derby | The Kosovo Derby also known as Gjilan Derby or Anamorava Derby is a football rivalry between fierce rivals Drita and Gjilani. Both of the clubs are from Gjilan one of the 7 largest cities of Kosovo. The derby was started in 1995 after the split of Drita. Initially the Kosovo media did not give importance to this derby but since 2012 the media has changed opinion for the derby. The rivalry comes about as Gjilani split from Drita and thus a new club was created.
History
For the past 20 years the match had attracted tens of thousands of partisan fans, even as Kosovo remained in political and sporting limbo following its war of independence from what is now Serbia between 1997 and 1998. Gjilan derby has added importance. In May, 2015, Kosovo was recognised by UEFA.
In 1995, the last stage of the championship of the Kosovo Superleague 1994/95, the main players of the Drita were dissatisfied with the leaders of the club, respectively with the treatment they had, so they split from Drita and created a new club in the city of Gjilan, which was originally called Gjilan '95
Until 1999, when the Kosovo War ended, this game was difficult to develop because the Serbian government did not allow Albanians to play at the stadiums.
Fans accused each other of lying about the foundations of the clubs. Intelektualët believe that SC Gjilani was founded in 1995 only after they inherited the FK Crvena Zvezda Gnjilane that was founded in 1945, Crvena Zvezda Gnjilane is accused by Intelektualët as a Serb nationalist club. While Skifterat accuse that FC Drita before had the name KF Poleti which was founded by Serbs and after a few years after many Albanians were in the club, for this reason the club changed its name to Drita. Both stories have been rejected by many officials from both clubs and citizen of the city.
Supporters
Intelektualët
Drita, in the 1997–98 championship was a great team wherever in Kosovo and in many sporting games, the meetings started but it was difficult to name the fans. The Ballkani and Drita match was a tough game because Ballkani fought for the survival and Drita for champion, so the fans traveled to Suva Reka for the last time without a name after this game, before the game against biggest rival Gjilani, the board succumbed and after many debates the name was assigned because most of the players except they played were also writers, poets, politicians and so on.
The Intellectuals are the biggest ultras group in Kosovo, with many transfers outside Gjilan. They also have the record of audience in football of Kosovo, the biggest was against Gjilani in 2011 with 13,000 fans and they traveled also in 2002 with 30,000 fans to the final of the Kosovar Cup in the Fadil Vokrri Stadium.
Skifterat
Skifterat are the clubs ultras group. They are formed in 1999, and are the biggest rivals of Drita supporters. The name means Falcon in English!
Incidents
The great rivalry among these teams has also led to hooliganism. A few days before the game is played, the tensions between the two groups increase, where there have been mass incidents between them. Even often they have conquered the pitch of stadium to face each other.

20486971 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques%20Urvoas | Jean-Jacques Urvoas | Jean-Jacques Urvoas (born 19 September 1959 in Brest, France) is a French politician. He was minister of Justice from 2016 to 2017. He represented Finistère's 1st constituency in the National Assembly of France from 2007 to 2016, as a member of the Socialist, radical, citizen and miscellaneous left.
Early life and education
Jean-Jacques Urvoas was born on 19 September 1959 in Brest. His father was a pharmacist general in the army. He describes himself as having been "a real dunce" at school. He studied, in turn, law at the University of Western Brittany in Brest, political science at the University of Rennes I, and political communication at Paris I. He turn proceeded to the Sorbonne where he wrote a dissertation on politicians Michel Rocard and Simone Veil. In 1996, he returned to Brest, where he earned a doctorate in political science with a thesis entitled "Electoral Table of Western Brittany, 1973-1993" and written under the direction of Jacques Baguenard.
Career
In 1998, he became a lecturer in public law at the University of Western Brittany and the Brest Institute for General Administration (IPAG Brest). He taught constitutional law and political science in the law training and research unit (UFR). Since his election to the French National Assembly, he has been seconded from the public service.
He joined the French Socialist Party (PS) for the first time in 1977 but left it because he was disappointed by the lack of an "epic breath." He returned to it intermittently, however, until 1981. From 1984 to 1986, while he was a student, he worked as a parliamentary assistant in the National Assembly. In 1986, he became director of the Mutualité Finistere and in 1989, Bernard Poignant, who had been elected mayor of Quimper, asked him to become the director of his cabinet.
Socialist Party
Local elections
He has been a member of the Socialist Party since the age of 18. He served as First Secretary of the Federation of the PS in Finistère from 2000 to 2008. In 2001, he was a candidate on the PS-Greens list led by Jean-Claude Joseph in the municipal elections in Quimper. He was elected regional councilor of Brittany in 2004 and became president of the socialist group.
Deputy
He was elected deputy on 17 June 2007, serving in the XIIIth legislature (2007-2012) and representing the 1st district of Finistère. In the second round of the election he defeated outgoing MP Marcelle Ramonet (UMP) with 52.13% of the vote. In the National Assembly, he belonged to the Socialist, Radical, and Citizens Group. In July 2008, he was elected vice-president in charge of penal policy and served on the Laws Committee, working on the rights of prisoners. In 2008, he opposed the proposed law on security detention proposed by Rachida Dati, then Minister of Justice, and in 2010 was very critical of the law on gang violence proposed by Michèle Alliot-Marie.
Still unknown at the national level, he joined the national council of the PS as a full member at the end of the 2008 PS congress in Reims, during which he voted for Martine Aubry for party head. In 2009, he was made top security adviser to Aubry, then the leader of the Socialist Party. This post did not interest Urvoas at first. In this capacity, he was the general rapporteur of the "Forum of Ideas" organized by the SP on 17 November 2010 in Créteil. In the fall of 2011, Fayard published a book by Urvoas in which he presented 11 proposals to improve national security. At this time, he supported the presidential candidacy of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, then President of the IMF. He announced his support for François Hollande just days before the first round of the Socialist presidential primary of 2011. At the end of his first term, Éditions Odile Jacob published a book by Urvoas with Magali Alexandre a book entitled Survival Manual of the National Assembly: The Art of Parliamentary Guerrilla Warfare.
President of the Law Commission
In June 2012, Urvoas was re-elected in the parliamentary elections with 62.74% of the vote. On 26 June 2012 he was elected President of the Committee on Constitutional Law, Legislation, and General Administration of the Republic. At his initiative, the work of the Commission was made public. In April 2013, he issued a report on the issue of constitutionality in which he proposed several changes to the composition of the Constitutional Council, which he suggested transforming into a genuine Constitutional Court. In October 2013, with Dominique Bussereau and René Dosière, he published a report entitled "Opening a new cycle for the future of New Caledonia," which called for a new consensus among the various political forces of the territory.
Following the Cahuzac affair, Urvoas was appointed rapporteur of draft laws on transparency proposed by François Hollande. In 2013, he became director of the Thémis observatory of the Jean Jaurès Foundation, which is dedicated to justice and security issues and brings together judges, lawyers, police, academics, and politicians for debates and discussions.
He was the author and rapporteur of a constitutional law proposal to ratify the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, which the National Assembly adopted by a very large majority (361 votes in favor and 149 against) on 28 January 2014.
In June 2014, he published a book, For the Unification of Bretagne, in which he called for the creation of a single community by merging the region and 4 departments. In the fall of 2014, he opposed the vote on a government amendment extending the moratorium on the right to an individual cell for each prisoner. Also in 2014, he was named rapporteur on the reform of the National Assembly's rules that was initiated by its president, Claude Bartolone.
In August 2010, he became a member of the National Commission for Security Interceptions (CNCIS), an independent administrative authority responsible for ensuring the legality of interceptions of electronic correspondence. In May 2013, he published the first parliamentary report on the legal framework of intelligence activities. In it, he called for a law that would increase the level of supervise and control of the intelligence services’ activities. In the same year, the environmental group called for the creation of a commission of inquiry into the monitoring and surveillance of armed radical movements, a commission of which he was appointed rapporteur.
In his capacity as Chair of the Law Commission, he was one of the four deputies sitting in the Parliamentary Delegation to the Intelligence Services. In this capacity, he proposed amendments to the Military Programming Act that would have broaden parliamentary control of intelligence. He chaired this delegation in 2014 and published a monitoring report that included 105 proposals to reform intelligence. In 2015, he was the rapporteur of a bill on intelligence, offering nearly two hundred amendments that would broaden the Commission's control over intelligence activities.
In February 2015, he went to French Polynesia on behalf of the Law Commission to monitor the implementation of the 2004 law providing for territorial autonomy. In his report on his visit, he called for improvement in the arrangement and rejected the idea of making French Polynesia an "associated country." Since the beginning of 2015, he has also served as rapporteur of the mission in charge of the status of New Caledonia.
In the spring of 2015, in a report to the Prime Minister, he opposed the reinstatement of the crime of "national indignity" to punish terrorists, which he saw as a "secularization of excommunication" that would only serve to strengthen the "jihadist martyrology." In a May 2015 note to the Jean Jaurès Foundation, he called for greater autonomy for the prosecutor's office vis-à-vis the executive branch and pleaded for constitutional reform that would strengthen judiciary independence. In late 2015, he was the rapporteur of the proposal to modernize presidential election rules.
Minister of Justice
On 27 January 2016, Jean-Jacques Urvoas was named as the replacement to become the Minister of Justice for France. This after Christiane Taubira resigned as Minister of Justice of France, in protest of the new anti-terrorism law in France.
Upon assuming his post, he made the increase of the ministry's budget his main objective, arguing that the justice system was suffering from urgent problems. He received a 9% budget increase. He also addressed the problem of prison overcrowding. On 20 September 2016 he published a report, "Ending Overcrowding," which he presented at the Fresnes Prison. On 6 October 2016 he and Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced the construction of 33 new prisons.
On 3 February 2016 he presented a draft law, the Urvoas law, that was designed to strengthen the fight against organized crime, terrorism, and the financing thereof. The law was strongly criticized by some NGOs and political parties, which saw it as infringing upon judicial independence and individual freedoms. The law passed on 4 June 2016. In May 2016, he proposed a law that would make justice more simple and accessible, providing, for example, for divorce by mutual consent and the abolition of juvenile courts. In October 2016, he presented a plan to address the issue of radicalized prisoners.
In the 2017 primaries, Urvoas supported the candidacy of Manuel Valls for President. After Valls's defeat by Benoît Hamon, he announced that he would vote for the PS candidate in the first round of the presidential election. In May 2017, following the change of government, he was replaced as Minister of Justice by François Bayrou. In the legislative elections that followed, he was defeated by Annaïg Le Meur, whose victory came as a surprise.
Post-parliamentary activities
After the election of Emmanuel Macron at the Presidency, Jean-Jacques Urvoas delivered lectures at several French Universities including Paris Dauphine University.
After politics
In September 2017, Urvoas returned to the academic life, saying that he would teach in Quimper, Brest, Paris-Dauphine, and Sciences Po.
Controversies
Abbassène case
In 2008, Urvoas privately borrowed 203,206 euros from the National Assembly at 2% interest. When such loans were made illegal the next year, he paid it back through his representative commission expense allowance (IRFM), a practice abolished by the National Assembly in 2015. A civil servant named Jérôme Abbassène, who considered the loan a form of personal enrichment, went to the media with the story, and Cicero 29, a local anti-corruption organization, brought the case to court. Urvoas, in response, accused Abbassène of invading his privacy and demanded 20,000 euros in damages. Abbassène was ordered to pay 2,000 euros in damages and 1,000 euros in legal costs.
Early September 2017, Jean-Jacques Urvoas put a whistle-blower on trial, after having leaked the way how the parliamentary office real estate, bought with public funds, was litigiously stated in his own private assets for €210,000.
Solère case
While Minister of Justice, Urvoas, in violation of security rules, sent to the deputy of Hauts-de-Seine, Thierry Solère, a confidential note informing him of a police investigation against Solère for tax evasion, money laundering, and other crimes. The revelation of Urvoas's actions in December 2017 was described as a “judicial thunderclap” and led to an investigation of Urvoas.
In 2019 he was convicted of fraud.

20486981 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stafford%20Gallery | Stafford Gallery | The Stafford Gallery was an early 20th-century art gallery in London. Artists whose works were exhibited there include both internationally known painters such as Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne and Gustave Courbet and significant English figures such as Walter Sickert and Sir William Nicholson.
The gallery opened in the early years of the century at 34 Old Bond Street, London W., on the corner with Stafford Street; but by 1910 had moved to 1 Duke Street, St. James's.
Exhibitions
In June 1903 the gallery showed watercolours by William Nicholson of the colleges of Oxford University. Twenty-four lithographs of these, with descriptive text by Arthur Waugh, were published by the gallery in two folios in 1905. Nicholson also provided the cover illustration for the catalogue an exhibition of old masters in 1910.
In the second decade of the century, and thus shortly after Roger Fry's Manet and the Post-Impressionists at the Grafton Galleries in 1910–11, the Stafford Gallery began to show more avant-garde, particularly French, works. In 1911 there were exhibitions of paintings by Courbet (March), Sickert (June), Gauguin and Cézanne (November), and possibly Camille Pissarro in October; work by Vincent van Gogh may also have been shown. The Gauguin show is the subject of Spencer Gore's painting Gauguins and Connoisseurs at the Stafford Gallery. In 1912 there were exhibitions of paintings by the Scottish Colourist J.D. Fergusson (March) and drawings by Picasso (April).

20486993 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign%20%28magazine%29 | Campaign (magazine) | Campaign is a global business magazine covering advertising, media, marketing and commercial creativity. Headquartered in the UK, it also has editions in the US, Asia-Pacific, India, the Middle East and Turkey.
Campaign is published by Haymarket Media Group, which owns more than 70 brands worldwide, including FourFourTwo, Stuff, Autocar, What Car? and PRWeek.
Overview
Campaign publishes a monthly print magazine in the UK as well as daily news and analysis on its websites: campaignlive.co.uk, campaignlive.com, campaignasia.com, campaignindia.in, campaignme.com, and campaigntr.com.
Each spring Campaign releases its School Reports, an assessment of how the biggest advertising agencies performed over the past year. In December, as part of its Annual issue, it names the top agencies, advertising and media networks, advertisers, campaigns, media, and production companies of the year. Campaign also publishes the A-List, a directory of leading executives from the advertising and media industries, at the end of each year.
History
The magazine was originally published by the British Printing Corporation and titled World's Press News, and, in the late 1960s, was struggling to find a market, but Michael Heseltine then acquired it for Haymarket and hired Maurice Saatchi to rebrand and relaunch the magazine, with design by Roland Schenk, upon which it proved an immediate success and became known as "the Bible of British adland".
In 2013, Campaign underwent a redesign, dropping its A3 newspaper-size format. In the same year it also launched its first paid-for app, which readers receive as part of their subscription, on the Apple Newsstand service.
In May 2016, Haymarket Business Media consolidated their marketing communications publishing portfolio under the Campaign brand, leading to the closure of Marketing Magazine, Brand Republic, and Media Week. Media Week was previously publishing physical magazines when it was first launched 1985 and turned into an online-only publication in 2009 during a restructuring by Haymarket. The May 2016 consolidation also saw the launch of another Haymarket specialist job board, Campaign Jobs.
Campaign awards
The Campaign Big Awards recognize the best agencies, campaigns and creative work of the year.
The Campaign Media Awards celebrate creativity in the media business, with categories for both media agencies and media owners.

Dantata was originally sympathetic to the cause of the opposition party NEPU, led by Aminu Kano but after an incarceration, he aligned with the dominant party to defeat Aminu Kano for a seat in the House of Representatives in 1964.
Life
Dantata was born in the Sarari quarters of Kano in 1922. He was one of the most famous son of Alhassan Dantata, popularly known as Mamuda Wapa, a wealthy merchant, Dantata completed his formal education in Ghana. Thereafter, he joined his father's business in 1945. In 1948, he branched out on his own, setting up investments in tourism, hotel, currency trading, sugar mill and petrol stations. His hotel was built in Wapa of Fagge quarters of Kano. By 1950, he started exploring ways to transport pilgrims by road through Sudan to Saudi Arabia. He founded a pilgrimage Company which was known as West African Pilgrimage Agency(WAPA), and acquired buses for the transportation of pilgrims. A year later, he started a chartered flight service to transport pilgrims by air from Kano. In the Fagge quarters of Kano, he reclaimed a swampy land to build WAPA house, the area later became known for currency trading. Dantata himself soon dedicated a section of his business to currency trading.

20487003 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedaleopsis | Daedaleopsis | Daedaleopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The name Daedaleopsis is a reference to Daedalus, the labyrinth-maker of myth. Similarly, the maze-like pattern of pores is taxonomically described as being daedaloid. DNA was recovered and sequenced from fragments of a nearly 7000-year-old fruit body of D. tricolor found in an early Neolithic village in Rome.
Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Joseph Schröter in 1888.
Description
Daedaleopsis fungi have basidiocarps that are annual, with a cap or effused-reflexed (crust-like with the edges forming cap-like structures). Their colour is pale brown to deep red, zonate, with a mostly smooth cap surface, lamellate to tubular hymenophore, and a pale brown context. Microscopic features include a trimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, and the presence of dendrohyphidia. Daedaleopsis has hyaline, thin-walled, and slightly curved cylindrical spores that are negative in Melzer's reagent and Cotton Blue.
Habitat and distrituion
Daedaleopsis fungi cause white rot, and are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere.
Species
A 2008 estimate placed six species in the genus. , Index Fungorum accepts 10 species of Daedaleopsis:
Daedaleopsis conchiformis Imazeki (1943) – Japan
Daedaleopsis confragosa (Bolton) J.Schröt. (1888)
Daedaleopsis dickinsii (Berk. ex Cooke) Bondartsev (1963)

6911718 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress%20Around%20Your%20Heart | Fortress Around Your Heart | "Fortress Around Your Heart" is a hit single released from Sting's 1985 debut solo album The Dream of the Blue Turtles. It was released as the album's third single in the UK, and the second single in the US.
The song was later included on the U.S. release of the Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984–1994 compilation album.
Song information
"Fortress Around Your Heart" was inspired by Sting's divorce. The pain he felt at the collapse of his first marriage led him to write some of his biggest hits, including "Every Breath You Take" and "King of Pain". Sting wrote the song in the studio in Barbados in 1985. The song features a Branford Marsalis sax solo. In a Musician magazine interview later that year, Sting said:
"Fortress" is about appeasement, about trying to bridge the gaps between individuals. The central image is a minefield that you've laid around this other person to try and protect them. Then you realize that you have to walk back through it. I think it's one of the best choruses I've ever written."
During one of Sting's first performances of the song in concert in Paris, his crew lowered a tiny fortress onto the stage in a parody of the similar Stonehenge scene from the film This Is Spinal Tap.
Single release
The song was also released as a single, and reached #8 and #49 on the U.S. and U.K. singles charts, respectively. It also reached #1 for two weeks on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart, becoming his second consecutive #1 hit on this chart.

56565147 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horncastle%20boar%27s%20head | Horncastle boar's head | The Horncastle boar's head is an early seventh-century Anglo-Saxon ornament depicting a boar that probably was once part of the crest of a helmet. It was discovered in 2002 by a metal detectorist searching in the town of Horncastle, Lincolnshire. It was reported as found treasure and acquired for £15,000 by the City and County Museum, where it is on permanent display.
The fragment is long and made of silver. Its elongated head is semi-naturalistic, depicting a crouching quadruped on either side of the skull, divided by a mane along the centre. The boar's eyes are formed from garnet, and its eyebrows, skull, mouth, tusks, and snout are gilded. Its head is hollow; in the space underneath, which was filled with soil and plant matter when found, are three rivets that would have attached it to a larger object, probably a helmet. The fragment would probably have formed the crest terminal of one of the "crested helmets" used in Northern Europe during the sixth through eleventh centuries.
The boar's head terminal is one of several representations of the animal on contemporaneous helmets. Boars surmount the Benty Grange and Wollaston helmets, and form the ends of the eyebrows of the Sutton Hoo and perhaps York helmets. These evidence a thousand-years-long tradition in Germanic paganism associating boars with the deities, and protection. The Roman historian Tacitus suggested that the Baltic Aesti wore boar symbols in battle to invoke the protection of a mother goddess, and in the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf, the poet writes that boar symbols on helmets kept watch over the warriors wearing them.
Description
The fragment represents a boar's head. It is hollow, with a shell made of silver, parts of which are gilded, and has garnet eyes. The fragment is long, and semi-naturalistic in style. The head is elongated, capped by a prominent mane dividing the skull, and terminates in a blunt snout, defined by three grooved and gilded lines. On each side above the snout are more grooved and gilded lines representing the mouth, which includes pointed tusks. The boar's two small eyes are formed with lentoid cabochon garnets, set in beaded gold filigree work with a double collar. Two gilded eyebrows, cast in relief, are well clear of the eyes and set against the skull. This is also gilded, and repeats on either side the pattern of a crouching quadruped. The figure's head is twisted backwards, its jaws biting across its body and back foot, which, like the front foot, has three toes.
When the fragment was found it was filled with soil and plant roots. Three rivets on the underside—one near the mouth, two at the opposite end—would have served to attach it to a larger object, most likely a helmet.
Discovery
The fragment was found on 1 May 2002 in Horncastle, a market town in Lincolnshire, England. It was discovered by a Mr D. Turner, who was searching with a metal detector. As required for found objects more than 300 years old and with more than a 10% silver content, it was reported under the Treasure Act 1996, and subsequently declared treasure. Valued at £15,000, it was purchased by the City and County Museum, Lincoln—now known as The Collection.
The acquisition was funded by the Art Fund, the MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund, Friends of Lincoln Museum & Art Gallery, and the Lincolnshire County Council Heritage Service Purchase Fund. As of 2019 the fragment is on display at The Collection alongside a variety of Anglo-Saxon grave goods.
Typology
The boar is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and dates from the first half of the seventh century AD. Although its original purpose cannot be conclusively determined, the style and size of the boar suggests that it formed the terminal of a helmet crest. Figural terminals adorn the crests of many contemporaneous helmets, such as the Sutton Hoo helmet, which has a dragon terminal at either end, and the one from Staffordshire, which features a horse-head terminal. Boar iconography is also found on helmets from the period, typically on the crests, as with the Benty Grange, Wolaston and Guilden Morden examples, or at the ends of the eyebrows, as on those from Sutton Hoo and perhaps York. The Horncastle fragment, with its lentoid eyes, tusks, and defined mane, is stylistically similar to the boar atop the Benty Grange helmet.
Taken in context, the boar would probably have adorned an early model of the "crested helmets" known in Northern Europe in the sixth through eleventh centuries AD. Such helmets are characterised by a rounded cap and usually a prominent nose-to-nape crest, from which the name of the helmet type derives and at one end of which the Horncastle boar was probably once attached.

6911750 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everett%20Stonequist | Everett Stonequist | Everett Verner Stonequist (October 5, 1901 – March 26, 1979) was an American Sociologist perhaps best known for his 1937 book, The Marginal Man
Life & Work
Stonequist was born in Worcester, Mass. and received his A.B. degree in History and Sociology at Clark University. He later studied at Cornell University, Columbia University, and the University of Paris. He received his doctorate in Sociology at the University of Chicago in 1930.
Stonequist taught and conducted research at the University of Hawaii, Duke University, and the University of Missouri. In 1970 Stonequist was honored by Union College in Schenectady for his contributions to the area of race relations. His expertise extended into many areas of research, including the problems of Jews living in primarily Gentile areas, and conditions in Ethiopia, Cyprus, Egypt, Kenya, Jordan, and Israel. In these respects he was clearly as much an anthropologist by inclination as a sociologist.
Stonequist spent most of his academic life teaching at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, where he was a well-known figure as a leader on the city's planning commission and housing authority. His work led to the construction of low-cost housing to local residents, and the Stonequist Apartments senior citizen complex. He chaired the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority for almost 30 years and was a technical consultant and planner for the city planning board for 19 years. He was a popular speaker who was widely sought by high school groups and civic, social, and religious organizations.
"He chaired the Skidmore College Department of Sociology from 1930 to 1970. His book, The Marginal Man, called attention to the problems experienced by people making transitions between different cultures, and specifically to pressures felt by minority and ethnic group members in American society. The book is generally credited with laying groundwork for later studies of "marginal" ethnic and occupational groups."
Stonequist's sociological work on marginality builds on that of his chief mentor at Chicago, Robert E. Park. "R. E. Park...[was] Stonequist's teacher and the originator of the term marginal man"
Park's notion that an individual suspended between two cultural realities is marginal results in difficulties in establishing an identity. This work was continued and developed further by Howard S. Becker and others most notably J M Billson, L H Bowker, F M Cox, A F Buono, J B Kamm, J Golden, Mark A Grey, and R A Stebbins.
"One of Park's students [at Chicago], Everett Stonequist, was writing The Marginal Man--A Study in Personality and Culture Conflict (1937). He described the marginal man as "one who is poised in psychological uncertainty between two or more social worlds, reflecting in his soul the discords and harmonies, repulsions and attractions of these worlds." Stonequist's study examines representative types of marginal persons."
In 1980, Dr. Stonequist's family and friends established the Everett V. Stonequist Award, given annually to a graduating senior who has shown outstanding interest and achievement in the study of sociology at Skidmore. The recipient, whose interest and grades in sociology are among the award criteria, is selected by the faculty of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work.

56565149 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony%20No.%2012%20%28Glass%29 | Symphony No. 12 (Glass) | Symphony No. 12 (Lodger) is the twelfth symphony by the American composer Philip Glass. The work was commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and premiered January 10, 2019, with John Adams conducting the LA Phil at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The European premiere followed on May 9, 2019 with a performance by the London Contemporary Orchestra at Southbank Centre.
Based on David Bowie's 1979 album Lodger, it completes Glass's trilogy of symphonies based on Bowie's Berlin Trilogy of albums, which previously inspired Glass's first and fourth symphonies, based on Low and "Heroes", respectively. Glass had indicated his intent to write this third work as early as 1997, when he told the Los Angeles Times that he had discussed approaches to its composition with Bowie.
Reviews
The premiere was greeted with positive reviews in the LA Times, with soloist Angélique Kidjo praised for "illuminating on every level" the lyrics of David Bowie.
The San Francisco Classical Voice was not so kind, calling the work "as overstuffed as a lumpy couch" and criticizing the choice of vocal soloist for the work.
The premiere in London at the Royal Festival Hall was positively reviewed by the Financial Times complimenting Angelique Kidjo's performance: "With a husky, Marlene Dietrich-style low end, she was a bracingly expressionist presence, reimagining Bowie’s surrealistic verses as Weimar cabaret. She rose impressively to the demanding role." Bachtrack gave a favorable review also: "Glass wrote the work with the formidable voice and presence of Kidjo in mind, and she gave a performance of deep presence and strength, her voice beginning in a purposeful, chromatic drone that followed Glass’ chromatic lines, but drawing the audience in a journey of gradual expansion and emotion as the symphony progressed. The music itself is lush and formidable, overlaid by the presence of the Royal Festival Hall’s imposing organ which acts as a forceful parent to the orchestra."
Compositional technique
Instead of basing the symphony on Bowie's musical themes, Symphony No. 12 is based on the lyrics of David Bowie's Lodger and employs a larger orchestra (including an organ) and vocal line.
The work is in seven movements:

56565155 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project%20Wickenby | Project Wickenby | Project Wickenby was a long-running joint-agency investigation initiated by the Australian Government in 2005 to combat offshore tax evasion. The investigation was jointly run by the Australian Taxation Office, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Crime Commission.
After 76 people were charged and 46 convictions recorded, the investigation concluded on 30 June 2015.
According to the Australian Taxation Office, Project Wickenby was responsible for recouping $985.67 million.
Background
Although Project Wickenby became public in 2005, the operation was prompted by the discovery of a laptop computer during an Australian Crime Commission raid in February 2004, when the hotel suite at the Sheraton Towers in Melbourne where Swiss accountant Philip Egglishaw was staying was searched. Egglishaw was meeting with corporate lawyer Michael Brereton, who is believed to have been the target of the raid. However, Egglishaw's seized laptop was discovered to have the details of hundreds of Australians allegedly linked to his offshore accountancy business, Strachans, based in the Channel Islands.
During Project Wickenby, numerous examples of fraudulent activities were uncovered including false invoices, sham loans, fake asset transfers, hidden share trading and sham labour hire along with various dubious ways of repatriating funds back to Australia such as holding accounts offshore to avoid audit trails.
High-profile targets
Project Wickenby is noted for investigating several high-profile figures including actors Paul Hogan and John Cornell as well as music industry executive Glenn Wheatley.
Former cricketers Allan Border and Shane Warne were also questioned during the investigation.
Cornell and Hogan were eventually cleared of any wrongdoing and reached a "without admission" settlement with the ATO in 2012. Hogan had been previously banned from leaving Australia after attending his mother's funeral in 2010 while the ATO pursued Hogan.
However, Wheatley pleaded guilty in 2007 to three tax-related charges including a failure to declare nearly $300,000 he made from a John Farnham tour and his earnings from a 2003 Kostya Tszyu boxing match. Wheatley was sentenced to fifteen months in prison by the Victorian County Court.
Other targets
Three company directors who were arrested in June 2005 on the Gold Coast were the first to be charged as part of the investigation. The Gold Coast businessmen were named as Adam Hargraves and two shareholders in his publishing company Phone Directories Co (PDC), his brother Glenn Hargraves and Daniel Stoten.
The three men were arrested after police raided their homes, the company's head office and the home of Adam Hargraves's accountant. Phone Directories Co Pty Ltd published telephone books in regional areas of Australia including Rockhampton and Mackay. The company is now known as Local Directories.
While Glenn Hargraves was later found not guilty, Adam Hargraves and Daniel Stoten were found guilty by a Supreme Court jury of charges of conspiring to defraud a Commonwealth entity after defrauding the tax office of $2.2 million. They were sentenced to 6½ years' jail.
However, Hargraves and Stoten's lawyers appealed both the conviction and sentence. The Court of Appeal dismissed both appeals against the convictions but the two men were resentenced, this time to five years' jail replacing the original sentence of 6½ years.
Accountant Philip de Figueiredo was implicated in both the Hargraves case and the Wheatley case, and he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring with Wheatley to defraud the Commonwealth to cause a loss and two similar charges connected to the Hargraves and Stoten case on the Gold Coast where it was discovered de Figueiredo had set up a network of offshore companies to inflate the business expenses of Hargraves and Stoten.
An international arrest warrant was issued for Philip Egglishaw in 2013 after it was alleged he stole $34 million from Paul Hogan's Swiss bank account. Egglishaw denied the allegation, describing the accusations as 'completely false'. While attempting to leave Switzerland in May 2017, Egglishaw triggered a red notice, which drew attention to his wanted status and was subsequently arrested by Italian authorities. He was released in July 2017 after the Australian prosecutor's office did not turn up to the hearing.

The church building was erected in 1891 by Henry Lemster and his son, Charles. A fire gutted the building in 1975, marks of which can still be seen on the altar and pews. The Immanuel Lutheran congregation moved to a new site on Glendale Boulevard, while 60 members formed a new congregation named Heritage Lutheran Church and restored the historic building.
An undated old photo shows a taller steeple and a two-story parsonage adjacent to the parish hall, which is no longer extant. A photo from the courthouse tower northward, c. 1900, shows the taller steeple on the church.
The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Immanuel Lutheran School
Immanuel Lutheran School
Immanuel Lutheran School, located on Monticello Park Drive and Glendale Boulevard, was founded in 1891. It is partnered with the new Immanuel Lutheran Church. Immanuel is a member of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod and claims to have education which is "grounded in faith and inspired towards excellence". With a goal of teaching a new generation of Lutherans in education, faith, and service, Immanuel's education spans kindergarten through 8th grade. Throughout the last 20 years, Immanuel has made investments and improvements aimed at creating a better learning environment for kids. This includes its special education program, which directs its focus to children in kindergarten through eighth grade with special learning needs and disabilities such as autism and asthma.

26723579 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some%20People%20%28film%29 | Some People (film) | Some People is a 1962 film directed by Clive Donner. It stars Kenneth More and Ray Brooks and is centred on the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
Premise
An aircraft engineer, who also acts as a voluntary choirmaster and youth worker (played by Kenneth More) tries to help a group of teenagers in Bristol, by encouraging positive social development after they lose their motorcycle licences. They are all in dead-end jobs with no home life and on the fringes of petty crime, but are musically talented.
Production
The film was shot entirely on location in Bristol with Anneke Wills recalling that the crew arrived in Bristol three weeks before shooting to get the feel of Bristol with the boys learning the local accent, riding motorbikes and visiting local dance halls with much of the script being ad-libbed.
Local filming locations were used including the W.D. & H.O. Wills cigarette factory, Royal York Crescent, Clifton Suspension Bridge, the Theatre Royal, the Palace Hotel, Bristol South public baths, the city docks, The Portway and Lockleaze, with Lockleaze School used for much of the interior filming.
Kenneth More agreed to play his role for nothing apart from his expenses because he had no other offers around the time, and the movie was for a good cause: all proceeds were to go to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme who commissioned the film and the National Playing Fields Association. During filming he began an affair with one of the cast, Angela Douglas, who became his wife.
The film features a test flight of the Bristol 188.

Reception
The film reportedly made a profit, in part because of its low cost. The title song was performed in the film by Valerie Mountain and The Eagles. Pye Records released their version as a single. Other versions were released by Carol Deene and the former bass player for The Shadows, Jet Harris.

26723623 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luv%20%28film%29 | Luv (film) | Luv is a 1967 slapstick romantic comedy film starring Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, Elaine May and Nina Wayne. It is based on the original Broadway production of the same name by Murray Schisgal, which opened at the Booth Theater in New York City on 11 November 1964. The play ran for 901 performances and was nominated for the 1965 Tony Award for Best Play.
Plot
About to nervously jump off a bridge, scrawny Harry Berlin (Jack Lemmon) is a barely functional human being. Just as he attempts to leap off the bridge, he is distracted by Milt Manville (Peter Falk), an old friend from fifteen years ago. Harry doesn't really recognize him at first but there appears to be a contrast between the two of them with Milt boasting of how well he is doing in life while Harry tries to listen.
Milt takes Harry to his house to meet Ellen Manville (Elaine May), Milt's long-suffering wife. She is complaining that their sex life is non-existent but Milt has a secret lover in the form of beautiful blonde Linda (Nina Wayne). Milt convinces a barely-there Harry to make a go of things with Ellen so that she is not left lonely when he divorces her for Linda. It takes a while but Harry and Ellen eventually fall in love. They marry and go to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon but this is when Ellen realizes that Harry is the world's worst roommate and childish at heart. In one example, Harry unexpectedly stomps on Ellen's toe in order to test her love for him. As she hobbles in pain, she asks, "What did you do that for?" In response, he asks her if she still loves him, and she says she does.
As Milt and Linda start to settle down as a couple, she quickly realizes that he has an addiction to selling household items and junk for a quick buck, something that she is strongly against. She immediately dumps him, which causes Milt to want Ellen back when he realizes how much he truly loves her. She admits that she doesn't really love Harry as much as she thought, as his bizarre day-to-day activities get to her. Milt and Ellen plot to get back together and convince Harry to divorce her but he loves her and sets out to prove it by getting a job as an elevator operator in a shopping mall.
Milt and Ellen then get the idea of trying to make Harry fall in love with the pretty blonde Linda, but as a last resort they try to convince Harry to commit suicide once again on the bridge. It is only when the four of them end up on the bridge that Harry finds love with a bikini-clad Linda.

Reception
The film was generally not received well by critics when it was released in 1967.
Variety wrote: "Clive Donner's direction fits the frantic overtones of unfoldment, but in this buildup occasionally goes overboard for effect. Jack Lemmon appears to over-characterize his role, a difficult one for exact shading. Peter Falk as a bright-eyed schemer scores decisively in a restrained comedy enactment for what may be regarded as the picture's top performance."
Bosley Crowther's review in The New York Times was particularly critical, ending the review with: "It goes around in circles—but maybe going around in circles is your whim. If it is, "Luv" is the picture to make you dizzy doing so."
Home media
Luv was released to DVD by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on 3 January 2012 as a Region 1 manufacture-on-demand DVD available through Amazon and from Mill Creek Entertainment on 22 April 2014 as a part of the Jack Lemmon Showcase Volume 1 with Luv on the fourth disc of a 4-disc set.

44508632 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X%20Factor%20%28Italian%20season%208%29 | X Factor (Italian season 8) | X Factor is an Italian television music competition to find new singing talent; the winner receives a € 300,000 recording contract with Sony Music. Before the start of the auditions process it was announced that Morgan and Mika would be confirmed as judges and mentors, whilst Victoria Cabello and Fedez have been chosen for replacing Simona Ventura and Elio in the role; also Alessandro Cattelan returned as host. The eighth season has been airing on Sky Uno since 18 September 2014.
Auditions for season 8 took place in Rome, Turin and Bologna in June 2014; bootcamp took place in Milan for two days, on 1 and 2 July. Unconfirmed rumors revealed that Mika will mentor the Over-25s, Fedez the boys, Cabello the girls and Morgan the groups; they selected their final three acts during judges' houses.
Lorenzo Fragola, a member of the category Boys and mentored by Fedez, was announced the winner of the competition on 11 December 2014. His winner's single, "The Reason Why", released at the end of the Semi-Final on 4 December, won a Gold Certification of sales.
Cast
Vocal coaches: Paola Folli e Rossana Casale.
Applications and auditions
A preliminary phase of auditions was held:
at PalaLottomatica, Rome, from 10 to 12 May 2014;
at Lingotto, Turin, from 24 to 26 May 2014.
The judges auditions was held:
at Unipol Arena, Bologna, on 7 and 9 June 2014;
at PalaLottomatica, Rome, from 21 to 22 June 2014.
The auditions were then broadcast on Sky Uno from 18 September to 2 October, and on Cielo from 21 September to 5 October.
Bootcamp
Bootcamp took place at Mediolanum Forum, Assago, over two days, on Tuesday 1 July and Wednesday 2 July; it was broadcast on 9 October on Sky Uno and on 12 October on Cielo.
Before Bootcamp, all the contestants who passed the auditions, were divided into two groups: the first one passed directly to the Bootcamp, since it was made by singers who fully convinced the judges; the other one was made by singers who didn't fully convince the judges, thus they had to face the “Room Auditions”. These were held into the Forum; the ones who succeeded in the Room Auditions, passed to the Bootcamp.
For the first time in Italy, besides the presence of spectators at the Bootcamp, to pick the six contestants from each category, the “Six Chair Challenge” was introduced: each judge has six chairs at their disposal and they can decide to make a contestant sit (thus passing them to the “Home Visit”) or not (eliminating them); if the chairs are all occupied, the judge of the specific category can decide to make a contestant stand up (eliminating them) and make the other sit on the chair. After the Bootcamp, 24 contestants passed to the Home Visit.
Judges' houses
The “Home Visit” is the final phase before the Live Shows. In this phase, the contestants who passed the Bootcamp had to perform one last time in front of their specific judge, in four different locations. At the end of this audition, the top twelve contestants were chosen.
The Home Visit took place in four different locations decided by each judge: Cabello chose London, Fedez chose Milan, Mika chose Motya and Morgan chose Vienna. Each judge was also helped by a guest to choose: The Bloody Beetroots for Cabello, Raphael Gualazzi for Fedez, Elio for Mika and Eugenio Finardi for Morgan. The Homevist took place around the end of July 2014.
Between the eliminated in this phase, those written in bold in the following chart were chosen by the judges for re-proposal. The four ones were then voted by the public who decided to bring Riccardo Schiara back in the competition during the second Liveshow.
The twelve eliminated acts were:
Boys: Dirty, Riccardo Schiara, Dario Guidi
Girls: Giorgia Bertolani, Carolina Faroni, Maria Faiola
25+: Alessio Bersaglini, Jade Angiolina Canali, Sarah Fargion
Groups: Fading Memories, Aula 39, Les Babettes

The station signed on in 1947 as WKDA, Nashville's fourth radio station, with stints as Nashville's leading Top 40 station and playing country music. It dropped the call sign in 1998 and has since programmed gospel music and Spanish-language programming.
History
Early years
The Capitol Broadcasting Company, a partnership of A. G. Beaman and T. B. Baker, Jr., applied on July 31, 1944, for a construction permit to build a new radio station in Nashville, to broadcast full-time with 250 watts on 1450 kHz. Beaman owned a bottling firm, while Baker was the advertising manager of Nashville radio station WLAC. After a comparative hearing, Capitol received a permit for a similar facility on 1240 kHz on October 9, 1946; 1450 kHz was instead awarded to an applicant for a station in Murfreesboro.
The station took the call letters WKDA and signed on January 5, 1947, from studios on the top floor of the American National Bank Building and a transmitter at Second Avenue and Peabody Street. Capitol also applied for a television station but withdrew its application for channel 5 in 1952, clearing the way for WLAC-TV to launch.
Larry Munson moved from Cheyenne, Wyoming, to be the new outlet's sports director; he took the job on the advice of Curt Gowdy and called Nashville Vols minor league baseball and Vanderbilt Commodores football and basketball for the station. While he almost got fired for uttering "fuck" on the air, Munson managed to keep his job.
Top 40 era
In 1954, Baker and Beaman sold WKDA in order to become part-owners of WLAC radio and television; they were required to do so under the settlement agreement by which WKDA had dropped its channel 5 application. The buyer, paying $312,500 for the radio station, was John Kluge and Associates. Under Kluge, beginning in 1956, the station became one of Nashville's leading popular music outlets, entering into competition with WMAK (1300 AM) for listeners. Early evidence of the rivalry surfaced on an afternoon in June 1958 when WKDA sent a costumed "purple people eater", inspired by the hit song The Purple People Eater, to climb the sign of the Noel Hotel and throw money down on the intersection of Church Street and Fourth Avenue. WMAK then sent a plane to buzz area buildings bearing a banner. The result was a commotion of 1,500 people jamming the intersection and a warning by the Nashville police chief for the stations "never to pull a trick" like it again.
1958 also brought a new program director: Jack Stapp, previously of WSM and owner of record company Tree Publishing. The next year, Kluge, who had bought Metropolitan Broadcasting but ran it separately from WKDA and KNOK in Fort Worth, Texas, sold those two stations to a consortium of Townsend Investment Company and singer Pat Boone for $1.08 million, with $650,000 of that represented by the Nashville station. That same year, the station was among the first to call its disc jockeys "Good Guys", a moniker later used in other cities at top 40 stations. When the First American Bank Building (having replaced American National Bank) was expanded in 1961 with the addition of an eighth floor, WKDA moved up from the seventh floor to occupy it. It was also approved to increase power to 1,000 watts during the day that same year. In a city defined by country music, it was WKDA, its "Good Guys" and its top 40 format that led the ratings every year beginning in 1955, despite being the city's only 1,000-watt outlet. It set market ratings share records that continued to stand for decades.
In the mid-1960s, major changes took place at WKDA. The station acquired a majority share in WNFO-FM 103.3 in late 1964, WKDA then purchased the remainder, took the station silent and returned it to the air in December 1966 as WKDA-FM. At the same time, WKDA moved into new quarters on the top floor of the Stahlman Building; the Chatham Corporation, successor to Townsend, experienced full board turnover as a result of an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and Stapp resigned to look after his record publishing interests. After moving into the building late in 1966, Chatham bought the Stahlman Building itself for $1.6 million.
Going country
WKDA had become a fixture in Nashville radio with its format, even as its ratings began to slip behind WMAK as the 1960s ended. That set the stage for a surprise. On February 22, 1970, WKDA announced it would change formats to country on March 15. Promoting itself as "The Now Sound of Nashville" with a more modern format, WKDA now entered a market "virtually glutted" with country stations, including WSM and WENO, but WSM played country only at night and WENO was not a 24-hour operation.
WKDA-AM-FM were sold in 1976 to Dick Broadcasting Company for $1.2 million. WKDA-FM, then airing a rock format, became WKDF later that year to give it a separate identity from the AM station. Dick built a new studio complex at the transmitter site in 1978 for WKDA and WKDF. However, as with other AM stations, WKDA's ratings showed a pronounced slump in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The station also served as the broadcaster for Nashville Sounds minor-league baseball in 1979 and as an affiliate of the short-lived Enterprise Radio Network in 1981.
Format changes in the 1980s and 1990s
In mid-1982, WKDA dropped its country format after 12 years and spent the rest of the year simulcasting WKDF's album-oriented rock programming. On New Year's Day 1983, the station launched an early modern rock format, providing commercial competition to WRVU, the student station at Vanderbilt University. It was the first station in the format in the southeastern United States and among the first in the country, but it would not last; the next year, WKDA changed formats to oldies.
In November 1990, WKDA flipped from oldies to the audio of CNN Headline News, citing continued low ratings as an oldies station.
In April 1995, veteran Nashville broadcaster Teddy Bart and Karlen Evins, who had previously hosted a program known as The Roundtable on WWTN, began brokering three hours of airtime on the station and planned to purchase WKDA outright. The two then entered into a deal to buy the station for $325,000 in July.
Gospel and Spanish
Bart-Evins Broadcasting sold WKDA to Mortenson Broadcasting for $600,000 in 1998. The sale spurred the first call sign change in more than 50 years of broadcasting, as WKDA became WNSG and adopted a Southern Gospel format.
WNSG remained on 1240 kHz through 2005, when the station was purchased for $2.7 million by the Davidson Media Group of New York City, a group formed to buy stations in mid-sized markets and focusing on Hispanic audiences. Davidson also purchased WMDB (880 AM) at the same time, moved the gospel programming there, and relaunched WNSG as Spanish-language WNVL on October 3. The station was initially known as Selecta 1240.
TBLC Media, owned by Mark Janbakhsh, entered into a time brokerage agreement to take over the operations of WNVL on October 1, 2011. In April 2012, it then filed to buy the station outright, conditional on obtaining a new lease for a tower site. In 2015, TBLC then purchased another 12 stations owned by Davidson in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the Kansas City market. Janbakhsh, an Iranian whose wife is Mexican American, also owns car dealerships and converted a former Kroger grocery store into Plaza Mariachi–Music City, a mini-mall featuring tenants oriented to the Hispanic community, where the stations were relocated.

20487089 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis%20Touraine | Jean-Louis Touraine | Jean-Louis Touraine (born 8 October 1945) is a French politician and professor of medicine who has served as a member of the National Assembly for Rhône's 3rd constituency since 2007. He is a member of La République En Marche (LREM).
Professional career
Jean-Louis Touraine is a professor of medicine in the department of organ transplantation and immunology at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, and is a part-time practitioner at Édouard Herriot Hospital in Lyon. He has also served as president of France Transplant since 1995 and the Centre of Studies of Immunodeficiency and its Relation to Cancer (CEDIC). From 1986 to 1990, Touraine was president of the Inserm Scientific Consultative Council of Rhône-Alpes, and from 1986 to 1992, he additionally served as president of the High Medical Council of Social Security in the Ministry of Social Affairs. He wrote the book Hors de la bulle about the treatment of children born with severe immunodeficiency.
Touraine is a Freemason and is affiliated with the Grand Orient de France.
Immunodeficiency work
During the 1970s, Touraine conducted most of his research on immunodeficiency. He participated in the first ever bone marrow and fetal thymus transplants. Touraine had a particular interest in immunodeficiency in newborn children.
AIDS research
After having created a mouse with a human immune system, Touraine used it to test several gene therapies for HIV/AIDS. The research director of Edouard Herriot Hospital, on the advice of the company Mydetics, attempted to patent these therapies, which combined two genes with a "vector" gene from cells. This project was conducted through a company registered in the tax haven of Bermuda. Due to research difficulties and a lack of response to questions from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the patent was ultimately never made.
Cancer research
Starting in the 2000s with the founding of CEDIC, Touraine researched cancer while pursuing his political career at the same time. In 2004, CEDIC received 120 000 shares in Mydetics.
Political career
Touraine was a member of the Socialist Party (PS) until 2017. He was elected to the municipal council of Lyon in 1989 and served on the council of the Urban Community of Lyon from 1989 to 2014. Touraine was also mayor of the 8th arrondissement of Lyon from 1995 to 2001. Vice-president of the Urban Community of Lyon from 1995 onwards, he served under Gérard Collomb as the first deputy mayor of Lyon from 2001 to 2014 and was charged with the transport, public tranquility and decentralization portfolios. As vice-president of the Lyon Metropolis, he was responsible for urban transport and road infrastructure until 2008. Touraine was additionally elected to the General Council of Rhône, serving from 2004 to 2007.
Touraine has served as president of the Lyon Condorcet Circle (Cercle Condorcet) since 2006, having succeeded Franck Sérusclat. He won a seat in the National Assembly during the 2007 French legislative elections, representing Rhône's 3rd constituency with Sarah Peillon as his designated substitute. Touraine defeated 21-year incumbent Jean-Michel Dubernard of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) in the election. In the 2012 French legislative elections, Touraine was re-elected with 59% of the vote. He has sat on the Committee on Social Affairs since 2010.
On 15 July 2013, Touraine and Senator Valérie Létard of the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI) were tasked by Minister of the Interior Manuel Valls into leading an inquiry into the reform of the right of asylum. Their conclusions were delivered to the National Assembly in November 2013, in the wake of the Dibrani case.
In September 2016, Touraine endorsed Emmanuel Macron for the 2017 French presidential election and became a member of Macron's party La République En Marche (LREM). The 2017 French legislative elections saw Touraine re-elected with 59.85% of the vote in the second round, defeating Pascal Le Brun of La France Insoumise (FI), who received 40.15%.
In September 2017, Touraine proposed a bill supporting assisted dying, arguing that patients with untreatable medical conditions should be permitted to choose "active medical assistance in dying." He received the support of 156 members of the National Assembly on 28 February 2018, who wrote an article in Le Monde calling for legislation that would "give sick, dying patients the freedom to do what they wish with their bodies." Touraine also became president of a National Assembly study group on assisted dying.
In the summer of 2018, Touraine was appointed rapporteur of a fact-finding mission on the reform of bioethics laws, which was presided over by Xavier Breton of The Republicans (LR). He submitted his final report to the National Assembly in January 2019, which recommended the legalization of medically assisted reproduction for lesbian couples and celibate women and argued that "there is no right of children to have a father, no matter the situation." Touraine was further named rapporteur on articles 1 and 2 of a bill on bioethics, in which capacity he defended several amendments that opposed his government, particularly those on post-mortem and transgender access to medically assisted reproduction.
In 2020, Touraine joined En Commun (EC), a group within LREM led by Barbara Pompili. In 2021, he was appointed co-rapporteur of a fact-finding mission on medicine, along with Audrey Dufeu-Schubert. Their report was presented in June before the commission of social affairs of the National Assembly and proposed reforms to the pharmaceutical sector's governance, research, financing, industrial policy and price-fixing policies.

It was the worst record of any Celtics team that played between 1950 and 1996.
Prior to the season, owner Irv Levin swapped franchises with the Buffalo Braves ownership group led by John Y. Brown, Jr. Levin had wanted to have a team in his native California, but knew the other league owners would not consider a move of the Celtics. He therefore brokered a deal with Brown to swap franchises, and then moved the Braves to San Diego to become the Clippers. In the meantime, a deal was brokered, without consulting team president Red Auerbach, to trade three players (Freeman Williams, Kevin Kunnert and Kermit Washington) to the Braves for Tiny Archibald, Billy Knight and Marvin Barnes. The move created a media firestorm for the team, as Kunnert and Washington were viewed as keys to future improvement, and Auerbach publicly stated that he was not consulted about the move. Brown would then trade three first-round draft picks for former Brave Bob McAdoo. Auerbach again was not consulted, and he almost took a job with the rival New York Knicks because of it. By the start of the season, between trades and the retirement of team captain John Havlicek, only six players remained from the 1977–78 team, including the starting front three of Dave Cowens, Cedric Maxwell and Curtis Rowe, shooting guard Jo Jo White and backup point guards Don Chaney and Kevin Stacom. Team depth issues were worsened when first round draft pick Larry Bird decided to remain in college for the season.
Following the season, Brown would sell his portion of the team to partner Harry T. Mangurian, Jr. Brown would subsequently be elected Governor of his native Kentucky later that year.

44508648 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Boat%20Race%201961 | The Boat Race 1961 | The 107th Boat Race took place on 1 April 1961. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames. The race which was delayed, the lead changed hands several times and an Oxford rower slumped and nearly fell out of the boat. It was won by Cambridge by lengths in a time of 19 minutes 22 seconds.
Background
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues"). First held in 1829, the race takes place on the Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London. The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities; it is followed throughout the United Kingdom and, as of 2014, broadcast worldwide. Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1960 race by lengths, while Cambridge led overall with 58 victories to Oxford's 47 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877). Cambridge had not lost three consecutive races since the 1913 race.
Cambridge's coaches included J. R. F. Best, James Crowden (who rowed for the Light Blues in the 1951 and 1952 races), Derek Mays-Smith (who rowed in the 1955 and 1956 races), J. R. Owen (1959 and 1960 races) and J. J. Vernon (who rowed in the 1955 race). Oxford's coaching team comprised Jumbo Edwards (who rowed for Oxford in 1926 and 1930), J. L. Fage (an Oxford Blue in 1958 and 1959) and L. A. F. Stokes (who rowed for the Dark Blues in the 1951 and 1952 races). Oxford opted to row with long oars, longer than Cambridge's. Cambridge arrived at Putney with a reputation for speed over short distances and were regarded as "potentially dangerous challengers". Meanwhile, Oxford were anticipated to be "exceptionally strong" yet on occasion their rowing appeared to be "laborious", with some commentators blaming the longer oars.
The race was umpired by George Douglas "Jock" Clapperton who had coxed Oxford in the 1923 and 1924 races as well as umpiring in the 1959 boat race. He was accompanied in the umpire's boat by Antony Armstrong-Jones, husband of Princess Margaret, who had coxed Cambridge to victory in the 1950 race.
Crews
The Oxford crew weighed an average of 12 st 12 lb (81.4 kg), per rower more than their opponents. Cambridge's crew contained two former Blues, cox Roger Weston and rower John Beveridge who was making his third appearance in the event. Oxford saw five members of the previous year's race return. There were three non-British participants registered in the race: Oxford's number three, John Sewell and Cambridge's Mike Christian and Mark Hoffman were all from the United States. The latter pair had both captained the boat club at Harvard University.
Race
Oxford, the pre-race favourites, won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station, handing the Middlesex side of the river to Cambridge. The race commenced at 2.35 p.m., delayed by more than 20 minutes as a result of a drifting stake boat, with Cambridge taking an early but brief lead. After the first minute, Oxford led by a few feet and increased their advantage to half a length by Craven Steps. At Craven Cottage, Cambridge spurted and retook the lead, but Oxford counterattacked and edged ahead. With the advantage of the bend in the river, Cambridge drew level by the Mile Post. The Dark Blues once again took the lead, and by Hammersmith Bridge were four seconds ahead and held a clear water advantage. Rowing into a headwind, Oxford began to lose their shape and by Chiswick Eyot, Cambridge had reduced the deficit enough to overlap the Dark Blue boat, although Oxford still led by a length at Chiswick Steps.
Twelve minutes into the race, the Oxford number six, Graham Cooper, "turned pale and slumped", disrupting the Oxford rhythm. Although he appeared to recover, "the cohesion had gone". Cambridge overtook the Dark Blue boat and were three lengths ahead by Barnes Bridge, and passed the finishing post with a four-and-a-half length advantage in a time of 19 minutes 22 seconds, the slowest since the 1954 race. It was Cambridge's first victory in three years and their largest winning margin since the 1955 race.
The rowing correspondent for The Times suggested that "for Oxford it was a sad day, and for Cooper a tragedy", while for Cambridge it was "a splendid victory". Cambridge's stroke Hoffman said "it was a tough race ... but when I saw that one of the Oxford crew was in distress, I knew we could not help winning." It was the third time since the war that Oxford had lost the event as a result of a crew member collapsing mid-race. Oxford's bow Richard Bate confessed that he "didn't even know anything had been wrong until after the race. I only knew we were not at our best."

Plot
Retired detective Charlie Chan is asked for his help by the San Francisco police to solve a new series of murders. This time his usual sidekick, "Number One Son" Lee Chan, has been replaced by Lee's own son, Lee Chan, Jr.
The prime suspect in the killings is a shadowy lady known as the Dragon Queen, but soon Chan's suspicions fall elsewhere. Among those at risk are Lee's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Lupowitz. Even though Lee Jr. is (as usual) rarely accurate in reading clues, he has the love and full support of his beautiful fiancee Cordelia.

Reception
Critical response
Critic Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote in his review: "Clive Donner's Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen... is loose-limbed, immensely good-natured entertainment that moves easily between parody and slapstick without ever doing damage to the memories of the character who, in the 1950s and 1960s, gained something of a following as a figure of camp." TV Guide gives Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen 0 out of 5 stars.
Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel loathed the movie, giving it two "no" votes on their public television series Sneak Previews, and later listing it as one of the worst movies of 1981.
Release
Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen was released in theatres on February 13, 1981 by American Cinema Productions.

44508660 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick%20Swanwick | Frederick Swanwick | Frederick Swanwick (1810–1885) was an English civil engineer who assisted George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for much of the work on railways in the North and Midlands of England, particularly the Whitby and Pickering Railway and the North Midland Railway.
Early life
He was born on 1 October 1810 in Chester to Joseph Swanwick and Hannah nee Wicksteed, one of a large family.
He was first educated at a school run by his maiden aunts, Mary and Martha Wicksteed, followed by tutelage of the Rev. William Bakewell, the Unitarian minister at Chester. At the age of around twelve he went to live with the Rev. Dr. Hutton in Leeds, since though his elder brothers had been sent to a public school, his large family was proving expensive to educate. In common with such schools of the time, the curriculum of the school seems to have consisted of Latin, Greek, French, and some elementary mathematics. It did not include science or engineering as unbefitting for one of his class.
In 1826, at the age of seventeen, he enrolled at the University of Edinburgh. He discarded his classical studies in favour of mathematics, natural philosophy and geology. Returning home in 1827, he continued his study of mathematics. He had a strong interest in civil engineering, following the work of a cousin on his mother’s side, Thomas Wicksteed, engineer of the East London Waterworks Company. It was at this time that the Grosvenor Bridge was being built at Chester across the River Dee. Frederick’s father knew the contractor James Trubshaw personally and obtained permission for Frederick to assist with the work. Following this, an uncle introduced him to George Stephenson.
Career
Aged nineteen, he was indentured to George Stephenson for "four years and eight months from 5 October 1829 in the occupation or business of a civil engineer," and went to live with him at his home with the other apprentices. Within a year he was made private secretary, succeeding Daniel Gooch and continued in that position until Stephenson moved to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
He assisted Stephenson in building the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and drove one of the engines, “Arrow,” which drew the first passenger train. This was followed by the construction of the Leicester and Swannington Railway in 1832. Following this, Stephenson delegated to him the entire work of building the horse-drawn Whitby and Pickering Railway, which opened on 26 May 1836.
In 1835, George Stephenson received the commission to build the North Midland Railway from Derby to Leeds. He and Swanwick travelled the route on the 5th and 6 August, and the latter carried out further inspections with his assistants, meeting George Stephenson at Sheffield to discuss their future plans. Concurrently with this he was working on the York and North Midland Railway and the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway. Confidence in his capability was such that in 1836 he was present at the House of Lords to give evidence to the Committee about these three lines, as well as on the proposed Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway. The accuracy of his presentations at a time when the slightest error could cause rejection of a bill justified the confidence Stephenson placed on him.
The Act for the North Midland Railway was obtained in 1836, and Frederick Swanwick became acting engineer. Again, Stephenson, who was wishing to concentrate in exploiting the coal in Leicestershire and in Clay Cross, delegated to him the responsibility for almost the entire work involved in its construction. This entailed laying out of the line, preparing the plans and specifications of all the work, and organising and superintending much of the work The construction of the 72 mile line took four years to accomplish, practically its whole length being on embankments and viaducts or through cuttings and tunnels. The line was opened in 1840.
He continued as resident engineer of the North Midland Railway until 1844, and played a leading role in the formation of Midland Railway taking the various bills through Parliament, and then supervising the work on new lines and reconstruction of existing ones, among them the Nottingham and Mansfield, Nottingham and Lincoln, the Erewash Valley Line and the Mansfield and Pinxton.
Personal life
Though tremendously busy, he set great store by his family life. In 1836 he lived at Norton Lees on the outskirts of Sheffield but in 1837 he moved to Whittington, and invited his father, mother and sister to join him, with his maiden aunts, the Misses Wicksteed, to live nearby.
On 21 July 1840 he married Elizabeth Drayton, fourth child of Mr. William Drayton, of Leicester, with whom he had a son and a daughter.
From about 1850 he began to prepare for retirement and took on no new professional work. He had for some time been a supporter of benevolent schemes such as the Mechanics' Institute, various schools in Chesterfield and Whittington, and the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Hospital. The extended leisure allowed him to give them more attention.
In 1857 he intervened in a dispute between the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, in which he had shares, and the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway Company. Though many of the others had sold their shares in disgust, he secured an agreement between the two companies.
In 1869 he became a Justice of the Peace for the county of Derby and was active in the Liberal Party, resisting invitations to stand for Parliament. He took an increasing interest in education, visiting schools around the country to study them. Whittington was expanding rapidly with industry and had become three separate villages: Old Whittington, New Whittington and Whittington Moor. Swanwick gave generously of his time and money to provide education for the increasing population, in time building up to a school in each of the three villages.
In the autumn of 1884, signs of failing health began to show themselves. Even after stays, first in Gloucestershire, and then Bournemouth, it had not improved a year later. Finally on 15 November 1885 he died, and was buried at Chesterfield cemetery six days later.

26723672 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claire%20Kremen | Claire Kremen | Claire Kremen is an American conservation biologist. She is a professor of conservation biology at the University of British Columbia, having formerly worked at the University of California, Berkeley, where she remains professor emerita.
Early life and education
Kremen graduated from Stanford University with a B.S. in Biology in 1982, and from Duke University with a PhD in Zoology in 1987.
Career
Upon completing her PhD, Kremen spent 10 years working for nonprofit organizations in conservation biology. She studied the impacts of Deforestation in Madagascar, on species distributions with a Web-based biodiversity database. Kremen eventually returned to North American and accepted a faculty position at Princeton University for four years before becoming a professor of environmental science, policy and management at University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley).
During her early tenure at UC Berkeley, Kremen also served as a member on the Committee on Status of Pollinators where she led the first global study on crop production that is reliant upon animal pollination. In recognition of her research, she was named a 2007 MacArthur Fellows Program, which came with an unrestricted $500,000 award for the next five years. In the same year, Kremen was also awarded a Hellman Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts & Sciences for her project "How does Biological Diversity Promote Ecosystem Services: a Mechanistic Study of Almond Crop Pollination in a Changing California Landscape." As an associate professor of environmental science, policy and management, Kremen led a study in 2011 which concluded that farmers could become more cost-efficient if they relied less on renting honey bees. In recognition of her academic achievements, Kremen was elected a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences in 2013 and appointed Editor in Chief of the journal Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems.
In 2019, Kremen left UC Berkeley to become one of the first University of British Columbia (UBC) President’s Excellence Chair in Biodiversity Studies at the UBC Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability. While serving in this role, she was awarded an honorary degree from the American Museum of Natural History in "recognition of her extraordinary contributions to science, education and society." In 2020, Kremen was the recipient of the Volvo Environment Prize for "exploring the way to a sustainable world."
