Ingrid Sala Santamaria

Ingrid Sala Santamaria is a Filipina pianist.

Artist Profile

Born in Cebu City, Philippines, Ingrid Sala Santamaria received her Bachelor of Music degree from the Battig Piano School in Cebu under her mother, Pilar Blanco Sala. Further studies followed at the Juilliard School in New York. She received a master's degree from Sta. Isabel College in Manila. De La Salle University conferred on her the Doctor of Music degree in Music Education, honoris causa, in 2006.

As chair of the Salvador and Pilar Sala Foundation, Inc. (SPSFI), Santamaria spearheaded a Ten-Year Music Development program which produced the Cebu Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO) in 1995 evolving into the Peace Philharmonic Philippines (PPP) in 2000. The young and deserving music scholars who have graduated from this endeavor have since reaped honors nationally while SPSFI continues their training and performance initiatives, PPP being the only orchestra group south of Manila.

Among honors received by Santamaria are: the Hall of Fame award from the Performing Arts League in Crestwood, Florida, USA; "Who is Who" in Asia documentary feature by NHK Television, Japan; "One of the 100 Most Notable Cebuanos of the Century" award; and from the French government; Chevalier, Ordre des Palmas Academiques; and Chevalier, Ordre du Merite Nationale.

At present, Santamaria is initiating a new music genre, that of a Piano Concerto soloist complemented by a string quartet. She has had several concerts in Manila and Cebu with the PPP String Quartet in the last 2 years.

Concert Engagements

Together with Professor Reynaldo G. Reyes, Santamaria has been touring the Philippines every two years, since 2001, performing concertos, with a mission of bringing live classical music to the countryside. She is the soloist while Reyes plays the orchestral part on the second piano.

Harry Waldo Warner

Harry Waldo Warner (4 January 1874 - 1 June 1945) was an English viola player and composer, one of the founding members of the London String Quartet and a several times Cobbett Award winner for his chamber music.  Born in Northampton, Warner studied from the age of 14 at the Guildhall School of Music under Alfred Gibson for violin and Orlando Morgan for composition, later becoming a professor there. After giving some violin recitals he concentrated on viola.

The London String Quartet
In 1908 Charles Warwick-Evans !1885-1974) was leader of the Queen's Hall cellos and Warner was first viola in Thomas Beecham's New Symphony Orchestra. Warwick-Evans formed the idea of a string quartet worked up to the standard of a solo virtuoso, and approached Warner. He was enthusiastic, and then Thomas W. Petre (second violin) was found and finally Albert Sammons, the new Concertmaster of Beecham's orchestra, was asked to lead the quartet.

They rehearsed four times a week for nearly two years before giving their first concert, on 26 January 1910, at the Bechstein Hall, as the 'New' Quartet, playing Dohnányi in D flat, Tchaikovsky in D, and the Fantasy Quartet No 1 by Warner. Reviews were excellent. The second concert was in June 1910, of Debussy in G minor, Beethoven Op. 59 no. 1, and a Fantasy of Balfour Gardiner's. Warwick-Evans suggested the name 'London String Quartet' and in 1911 it was adopted. The quartet gave concerts mainly in the UK but travelled to Amsterdam and Paris, with a repertoire extending from the classical period to contemporary works – including Verklärte Nacht in the presence of the composer. Warner also played in the first performance in England of Debussy's Sonata for flute, viola and harp (at an otherwise London String Quartet concert) on 2 February, 1917 at the Aeolian Hall. which may have been its first public performance anywhere. Warner retired from the Quartet in 1929 for health reasons, and William Primrose took his place in the quartet.

Music

Warner established himself as a composer by writing a number of "Phantasie" works - the single movement genre specifically defined for William Cobbett's chamber music competitions. The first was his String Quartet, op 12, which won fifth place in the first Cobbett competition of 1906. This was followed by his early piano trio in 1907. The Folk Song Fantasy Quartet, op 18, based on a folk melody from Berkshire, achieved some level of popularity after the war, having won first prize in the 1917 Cobbett competition. According to Herbert Antcliffe writing in 1920 the work "is probably heard more frequently than any other chamber work by a young British composer, and is popular in the fullest and best sense of the term". A performance by the London Quartet on September 24 1920, along with Frank Bridge's String Quartet No 1 in E minor, was attended by the American patron of arts Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. It was probably her first hearing of Bridge's music, whose work she supported financially for the rest of his life. But she also became a champion of Warner, whose Trio for piano, violin and cello in A minor went on to win first prize at Mrs Coolidge's 1921 chamber music competition in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The prize was a thousand dollars. The Trio, which was subsequently published by Ricordi, has been recorded by Trio Anima Mundi. The three movement piece "shows great vigour and metrical flexibility, both pungent and elegant, and with hints of both French models and of then-popular chinoiserie".

There are two other later published works for string quartet: The Pixy Ring (String Quartet No 5), each movement being concerned with fairy lore; and the Suite in Olden Style op 34 (String Quartet No 6). Warner also adapted Stanford's Clarinet Concerto op 129 for the viola.

Beyond chamber music, Warner also wrote orchestral suites, most notably the Three Elfin Dances, performed twice at the BBC Proms in 1917 and 1924, subsequently broadcast on BBC radio on several occasions, and The Broad Highway: Sketches from a Tramp's Diary. The tone poem Hampton Wick op. 38 was the unlikely winner of the 1932 Hollywood Bowl Competition. A Suite in D minor, op 58 with viola soloist has been orchestrated by Tim Seddon from a viola and piano manuscript that was in the collection of Lionel Tertis and passed on to his pupil Harry Danks.  There are also two comic operas written early in his career, The Royal Vagrants: a story of Conscientious Objection (1899) and Cupid’s Market, as well as many songs for solo and chorus.

Gapparodus is an extinct genus of conodonts in the family  Furnishinidae. Gapparodus gapparites is a species of the  Early Cambrian of Shuijingtuo Formation in China.


Oncopera fasciculatus

Oncopera fasciculatus, the underground grassgrub, is a moth of the family Hepialidae  endemic to South Australia and Victoria.  The fore wings are brown with a pattern of dark splotches. The hind wings are plain brown. The larvae live in vertical tunnels in the soil. They emerge at night to feed on the leaves of grasses in native and sown pastures.


James Oliver Curwood

James Oliver "Jim" Curwood (June 12, 1878 – August 13, 1927) was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books were often based on adventures set in the Yukon or Alaska and ranked among the top-ten best sellers in the United States in the early 1920s, according to Publishers Weekly. At least eighteen motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories; one was produced in three versions from 1919 to 1953. At the time of his death, Curwood was the highest paid (per word) author in the world.

He built Curwood Castle as his residence in his hometown of Owosso, Michigan, and used one turret as his writing studio. The mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is now operated as a museum. The city commemorates him with an annual Curwood Festival.

Biography and career

Curwood was born in Owosso, Michigan, the youngest of four children. Attending local schools, Curwood left high school before graduation. He passed the entrance exam to the University of Michigan and was allowed to enroll  in the English department, where he studied journalism.

After two years, Curwood quit college to become a reporter, moving to Detroit for work. In 1900, he sold his first story, while working for the Detroit News-Tribune. By 1909 he had saved enough money to travel to the Canadian northwest, a trip that inspired his wilderness adventure stories. Because his novels sold well, Curwood could afford to return to Owosso and live there. He traveled to the Yukon and Alaska for several months each year for more inspiration. He wrote more than thirty adventure books.

By 1922, Curwood had become very wealthy from the success of his writing. He fulfilled a childhood fantasy by building Curwood Castle in Owosso. Constructed in the style of an 18th-century French chateau, the estate overlooks the Shiawassee River. In one of the homes' two large turrets, Curwood set up his writing studio. He also owned a camp in a remote area in Baraga County, Michigan, near the Huron Mountains, as well as a cabin in Roscommon, Michigan.

Curwood was an avid hunter in his youth; however, as he grew older, he became an advocate of environmentalism. He was appointed to the Michigan Conservation Commission in 1927. The change in his attitude toward wildlife is expressed in a quote from The Grizzly King: "The greatest thrill is not to kill but to let live."

In 1927, while on a fishing trip in Florida, Curwood was bitten on the thigh by what was believed to have been a spider, and he had an immediate allergic reaction. Health problems related to the bite escalated over the next few months as an infection developed. He died in Owosso at the age of 49, and was interred in Oak Hill Cemetery there in a family plot.

Literary and film legacy
Curwood's adventure writing followed in the tradition of Jack London. Curwood set many of his works in the wilds of the Great Northwest and often used animals as lead characters (Kazan; Baree, Son of Kazan, The Grizzly King, and Nomads of the North).  Many of Curwood's adventure novels also feature romance as primary or secondary plot consideration. This approach gave his work broad commercial appeal; his novels ranked on several best-seller lists in the early 1920s. His most successful work was his 1920 novel, The River's End. The book sold more than 100,000 copies and was the fourth best-selling title of the year in the United States, according to Publishers Weekly.

Curwood's short stories and other pieces were published in various literary and popular magazines throughout his career. His bibliography includes more than 200 such articles, short stories, and serializations. His work was also published in Canada and the United Kingdom. Some of his books were translated into French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish and Polish, and published in those respective countries.

Curwood's final novel, Green Timber, was nearly finished at the time of his death. It was completed by Dorothea A. Bryant and published in 1930.

Adaptations
At least eighteen movies have been based on or inspired by Curwood's novels and short stories. Curwood's story "Wapi the Walrus" was adapted for film three times. The first was as Back to God's Country (1919), starring Nell Shipman as a brave and adventurous woman in the wilds of the North. Another version by the same title was released in 1927, and again by this title in 1953.

A young John Wayne and Noah Beery Jr. starred in the 1934 film The Trail Beyond, based on Curwood's novel The Wolf Hunters. Filmmakers produced a film series featuring Kirby Grant as Mountie Corporal Rod Webb, assisted by his dog Chinook; they made a total of ten films.

In the late 20th century, French director Jean-Jacques Annaud adapted Curwood's 1916 novel The Grizzly King as the film The Bear (1988). The film's success prompted a revival of interest in Curwood's books.

Legacy and honors

His writing studio, Curwood Castle, which he commissioned in a French chateau style, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is preserved and operated as a historic house museum.
The city of Owosso holds an annual Curwood Festival during the first full weekend in June, to commemorate him and celebrate the city's heritage.
A mountain in L'Anse Township, Michigan was named as Mount Curwood in his honor.
The L'Anse Township Park was renamed as Curwood Park.

Brigid Makowski

Brigid Makowski (née Sheils) was a former member of Shannon Town Commission and Clare County Council. She was elected initially representing the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) of which she was a founding member.

She was born January 6, 1937 in the Bogside area of Derry, and was involved in the 1968 civil rights march in the city at the beginning of the Troubles. She married Leo Makowski a Polish-American whom she met when his U.S. Navy ship U.S.S Johnson docked in Derry in August 1954. They had two dates before Leo's ship left. They corresponded and he eventually proposed, she accepted, sailed to Philadelphia and they married there April 16, 1955.

She joined the Irish American grouping Clann na Gael in Philadelphia, and proposed that a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association banner be included in the 1969 Saint Patrick's Day parade. Originally she was a member of Sinn Féin and sided with the Official wing during the 1970 split.

She disagreed however with the 1972 ceasefire and was a supporter of Seamus Costello. She was called to testify at the Official Irish Republican Army court-martial of Costello in Mornington. She remarked after Costello had been dismissed that "Jesus could have testified on Costello's behalf and it wouldn't have changed the verdict." After Costello's expulsion from Official Sinn Féin and the Official IRA, she helped set up the IRSP. She was elected in 1981 as a councillor to the Shannon Town Commission.

She was re-elected as an Independent after leaving the IRSP. She was later elected to Clare County Council in 1991. Makowski campaigned against the building of the visitor centre in Mullaghmore, in the Burren.

In 1992, she was present at the funeral of the Irish People's Liberation Organisation and Republican Socialist Collective leader Jimmy Brown. Her daughter, Stella Makowski, gave the traditional graveside speech.

On April 15, 2017, Brigid died at Letterkenny Hospital, County Donegal, Ireland from complications following treatment for lung cancer.

Seattle Eagle

Seattle Eagle, or The Eagle, is a gay bar in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Washington.

The bar is owned by Keith Christensen, as of 2010, and caters to the leather subculture.

Description and history
The Eagle is the city's oldest leather bar and attracts a "young, fairly mixed" crowd. The venue hosted theme nights such as "Underbear", "Vibrator", and "Western", as of 2003.

The original owners of the bar purchased Le Chateau in 1980, and changed the name to J&L Saloon.

The gay bar was one of eleven in Seattle threatened with ricin in 2009.

In 2010, the bar received a violation for lewd conduct from the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) for showing a video that contained a man's erection. The bar has received "technical assistance" from WSLCB officers screening videos for objectionable content.

Detox Icunt and Vicky Vox of DWV appeared at the club in 2013. "Dickslap" and the "Make Out Party" are regular events at the Eagle.

Reception
Seattle Weekly included the Eagle in their 2009 list of the city's ten "most intimidating" dive bars.

Matt Baume of The Stranger wrote, "There is nothing stranger than being at the Eagle during daylight hours—somehow it feels like it should be shrouded in perpetual dark, like a Gotham City where Batman suggestively rubs Burt Ward's package in a shadowy corner. It makes a squeaky noise."

Gilchrist MacNachtan

Gilchrist MacNachtan (also known as Cristinus), son of Malcolm MacNachtan, was a thirteenth-century Scottish magnate.

Gilchrist was likely a native of Lorne. Two charters, dating to about 1246 and 1247 respectively, reveal that he made two grants of the church of Kilmorich, located at the head of Loch Fyne, to Inchaffray Abbey. The first grant describes Gilchrist as a "baron of the realm", and both grants record the name of his wife, Bethoc, and the name of his father, Malcolm MacNachtan. A seal of green wax is attached to the second charter is blazoned a bend surmounted of a label of five points in chief, and reads in Latin "S Gilecrist Macnachten". The seal's heraldic elements may be evidence that Gilecrist's family was related to the Bissetts.

In 1267, Alexander III, King of Scots granted Gilchrist the custody of the castle on Fraoch Eilean, an island in the northern end of Loch Awe. The king's charter to Gilchrist states that the latter was to hold the castle of the king, and to be prepared to offer hospitality to the king whenever he should wish to visit. There is reason to suspect that the charter documenting the grant is spurious. Be that as it may, such a grant fits into the context of ongoing consolidation of Scottish royal power in the western fringes of the kingdom in the years following the Treaty of Perth. The earliest phase of construction at the castle site dates to the twelfth- and thirteenth-centuries, and the castle's remains dating from this period closely resemble the earliest remains of Castle Sween.

In 1277, an indenture between Hugh of Abernethy and Gilchrist's widow, Ethena, records that the latter possessed a third of Gilchrist's lands "by right of and by the law of the land". It is uncertain whether the form of Ethena's name in this source is a Latinised form of Bethoc's name, or if Ethena was a latter wife of Gilchrist. Gilchrist is one of the earliest members of Clan Macnaghten to appear on record—his father being the earliest. Other contemporary sources reveal that Gilchrist had two brothers, Ath and Gilbert.

John Badby

John Badby (died 1410), one of the early Lollard martyrs, was a tailor (or perhaps a blacksmith) in the west Midlands, and was condemned by the Worcester diocesan court for his denial of transubstantiation.

Badby bluntly maintained that when Christ sat at supper with his disciples he had not his body in his hand to distribute, and that “if every host consecrated at the altar were the Lord’s body, then there be 20,000 Gods in England.” A further court in St Paul’s, London, presided over by Archbishop Thomas Arundel and his brother-in-law William, Baron de Ros, condemned him to be burned at Smithfield, the tournament ground just outside the city walls.

It is said that the prince of Wales (afterwards Henry V) witnessed the execution and offered the sufferer both life and a pension if he would recant; but in Walsingham’s words, “the abandoned villain declined the prince’s advice, and chose rather to be burned than to give reverence to the life-giving sacrament. So it befell that this mischievous fellow was burnt to ashes, and died miserably in his sin.”

Narration in Foxe's Book of Martyrs:

" .. And then was the tunne put ouer hym, and fire putte vnto hym. And when he felt the fire, he cryed, mercy (calling belike vpon the Lorde) and so the Prince immediatlye commaunded to take away the tunne, and quenche the fire. The Prince, his commaundement beyng done, asked him if he would forsake heresie to take him to the fayth of holy churche: which thing if he would doo, he shoulde haue goods inough, promising also vnto him a yearelye stipende out of the kinges treasury, so muche as shoulde suffice hys contentation."But this valiant champion of Christ, neglectyng the princes fayre wordes, as also contempnyng all mennes deuises: refused the offer of worldly promises, no doubt, but beyng more vehemently inflamed with the spirite of God then with any earthly desire.

"Wherfore, when as yet he continued vnmoueable in hys former minde, the prince commaunded him straight to be put againe into the pype or tunne, & that he should not afterward looke for any grace or fauour. But as he could be allured by no rewardes, euen so was he nothing at all abashed at their tormentes, but as a valiant champion of Christ, he perseuered inuincible to the end. .. "

South Korean Novelist, Kim Seong-han wrote novel named Babido ("바비도"), based on John Badby's martyrs.

Lucy Caroline Noakes  (born 1964) is a British historian. Since 2017, she has been Rab Butler Professor of Modern History at the University of Essex.

Biography
Noakes has said that she became interested in history through left-wing politics; she was inspired by E. P. Thompson's speeches at CND rallies and by his book The Making of the English Working Class to uncover the lives of ordinary people, especially women (owing to the influence of feminist historians like Sheila Rowbotham). She completed a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree at the University of Sussex and stayed there to complete a Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degree, which was awarded in 1996 for her thesis Gender and British National Identity in Wartime: A Study of the Links Between Gender and National Identity in Britain in the Second World War, the Falklands War, and the Gulf War.

After her doctorate, Noakes worked at Southampton Solent University and the University of Portsmouth, before joining the University of Brighton in 2007, where she eventually became Reader in Social and Cultural History. In 2017, Noakes was appointed Rab Butler Professor of Modern History at the University of Essex. As of 2014, she is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

Research
Noakes's research has focused on war, memory, gender and national identity in modern Britain, in particular on the experiences and memories of people who were involved in First and Second World War, as well as gendered identities in wartime, and on women's experiences of war. Her publications include:

Here Again (A Will Away album)

Here Again is the second studio album from American modern rock band A Will Away. It was released March 3, 2017, and is the band's first full-length release on Triple Crown Records.

Background
Following the success of their breakthrough EP, Bliss, the band returned to producer Gary Cioffi's Maximum Sound Studios in Danvers, Massachusetts to begin recording their first full-length album on Triple Crown. The band previously recorded Bliss with Cioffi and now wanted to create a "companion piece" that built on the sound of the EP. According to lead singer Matthew Carlson, Bliss and Here Again were designed to be played together, saying "You can listen to the beginning of Bliss through the end of Here Again and it's complete."

The band arrived at the studio in late 2015, where they spent "5-6 weeks" on pre-production. They spent three weeks recording the album in early 2016.

Release
In December 2016, it was announced the band would be supporting Moose Blood, Trophy Eyes and Boston Manor on a North American tour in February and March 2017. This tour became their platform for promoting the new album from coast to coast.

The band released the album's first single and music video, "Here Again," on February 3, 2017. They followed that by releasing the LP's penultimate track, "Into The Light," exclusively to Uproxx on February 23, 2017. The album was released March 3. The band released the album's second single and music video, "Gravity," on June 23, 2017. Later in the year, they embarked on two more U.S. tours, supporting This Wild Life and Dryjacket on the first and Have Mercy, Boston Manor and Can't Swim on the second.

Reception

The album has received generally positive reviews from critics. In its favorable review of the album, Alternative Press called the band "the future of this genre, plain and simple," describing the LP as "their most diverse, calculated release yet" and "a craft of meticulous intent." Writing for Billboard, Jenna Romaine said the band is "living up to" its self-description as "eighties pop rock on acid," with "a slew of memorable riffs, conceptual videos, and relatable lyrics that range from the everyday to transcendental." The Alternative described the release as "less of an album and more a collection of seemingly effortless offerings that actually were a calculated endeavor," saying it "paints with the colors of palettes from Third Eye Blind, Moose Blood, and Taking Back Sunday but it is a masterpiece all on of its own."

Punktastic's Chris Hilson offered overwhelming praise, saying it is "rare for a debut album to feel this well-rounded, making it almost impossible to find fault with any part of Here Again." Soundfiction wrote that while Bliss "showcased [the band's] more negative view of life," this album "takes this nihilistic approach and turns it into a positive as the band comes to terms that while maybe nothing really matters, it's best to make the most out of life," adding that it "makes for a great debut album."

chorus.fm's Aj LaGambina called it a "solid debut full length," adding it "could probably do with some more uptempo songs, but live, many of these songs will pick up the pace." New Noise Magazine's Nicholas Senior gave it four out of five stars, calling it "comfortable, wistful, introspective, and just a tad nostalgic," but felt the songs "run together by the album's end." Kerrang!'s Hannah Ewens wrote that "at times it's overbearing, with every musical part competing, but at their best, when they pull back, the songs have the potential to soar." She concludes by saying "it doesn't always work, but A Will Away are a touch more thoughtful than a lot of others doing this."

Falcone Borsellino Airport

Falcone Borsellino Airport  () or simply Palermo Airport, formerly Punta Raisi Airport is located at Punta Raisi,  west northwest of Palermo, the capital city of the Italian island of Sicily. It is the second airport of Sicily in terms of passengers after Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, with 6.601.472 passengers handled in 2018.

History

Early years
GESAP S.p.a. is the airport management company of "Falcone Borsellino" Airport in Palermo. It has a fully paid-up share capital of €15,912,332 divided between the Regional Province of Palermo, the Comune of Palermo, the Chamber of Commerce, the Comune of Cinisi and other minor partners.

Established in 1985, until 1994 GESAP operated exclusively as handler and supplier of ground services for Palermo Airport, the management of which is directly assigned by the government and overseen by the District Airport Directorate.

The airport was given the name Falcone Borsellino in memory of the two leading anti-mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino who were murdered by the Sicilian Mafia in 1992. A  diameter plaque featuring their portraits can be found to the right of one of the main outside entrances to the departure hall, set into a mosaic of Sicily. Created by the Sicilian sculptor Tommaso Geraci, it bears the inscription Giovanni Falcone–Paolo Borsellino–Gli Altri–L'orgoglio della Nuova Sicilia (Giovanni Falcone–Paolo Borsellino–The Others–The Pride of the New Sicily).

In 1994, GESAP was charged with the partial management of the airport through a convention which granted the company a 20-year mandate to run land-side activities (the airport buildings and surrounding areas).

In April 1999, GESAP obtained an anticipated mandate to manage the airport's air side activities, and, more specifically, the flight infrastructure (runways, links, taxiways and aprons) as foreseen by art. 17 L. 135/97.

As airport management company, GESAP plans, creates and manages the airport's areas, infrastructures and systems, ensuring the necessary maintenance and implementation of the same. It also provides centralised services such as airport coordination, public information systems, security controls and surveillance as well as managing commercial outlets through concessions to third parties.

Development since the 2000s
In April 2004, GESAP was awarded UNI ISO 9001/2000 (Vision 2000) certification. The company had already received certification for its services and processes in the handling sector and this too was renewed by the certification body, TÜV, in December 2006.

On 30 May 2004, ENAC awarded GESAP an "airport certificate" in recognition of the airport's full conformity with the regulations set down in ENAC's "regulations for the construction and management of airports". On 24 May 2007 GESAP has obtained the renewal of the airport certificate until 30 May 2010.

Today, after having recently transferred its handling sector to a controlled company, GH Palermo, GESAP is awaiting a ministerial decree that will grant it a forty-year concession for the total management of the airport. This comes after the deliberation of ENAC's board of directors on 1 March 2005 that was officialised in a convention signed on 17 November 2006.

Ania Bien

Ania Bien (born 1946) is an American photographer. Born in Kraków, Poland, to Polish-Jewish parents, she moved to the United States in 1958, where she studied painting and cultural anthropology. Since 1973 she has lived in Amsterdam.

Works
One of Ania's early projects, Hotel Polen, referred to the Hotel Polen fire (which became "part of Bien's wider theme of destruction") in Amsterdam, 1977, and established her reputation in Dutch art circles. The collection of photographs illustrated a hotel before World War II, showcasing the relative luxury of middle-class travel in Europe, but objects in the photographs associated with the Holocaust indicate that this was a "doomed" way of life. She fabricated 18 replicas of the hotel's menu stands, and used them to display the photographs.  David Levi-Strauss wrote that Bien's art piece is a "polysemous work of absence, in which what happens between images is the most important."  The work was displayed at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1987 and at the Amsterdams Historisch Museum in 1988.

Some of Bien's work is concerned with Franz Kafka; one of her photographs has her place her hand on a portrait of Kafka's, in response to a note he wrote in 1924 to Dora Diamant, "Place your hand on my forehead for a moment, so I can gain courage." Her 1989 installation Past Perfect asked "what would have happened had [Kafka] not died in 1924, but instead had come as a refugee to America in the late '30s." It gained her international recognition, and was also shown in Jerusalem.

Bien is interested in war, discrimination, and the plight of refugees. She contributed photographs from a centre for asylum seekers in Haarlem to a 1994 book on refugee children in such centers in the Netherlands, Ontheemde kinderen.

She has also exhibited at Portfolio Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland, and the Joods Historisch Museum in Amsterdam.


Asian American studies

Asian American Studies is an academic discipline which critically examines the history, experiences, culture, and policies relevant to Asian Americans. It is closely related to other Ethnic Studies disciplines, such as African American Studies, Latino/a Studies, and Native American Studies.

History
Asian American Studies appeared as a field of intellectual inquiry in the late 1960s as a result of strikes by the Third World Liberation Front, a group of students of color at San Francisco State University and at the University of California, Berkeley, which demanded that college classroom instruction include the histories of people of color in the United States told from their perspectives. The demand for Ethnic Studies was a critical response to the Eurocentric bias in university curriculum.  As a result, a College of Ethnic Studies (the only such "college" at any American university at the time) became established at San Francisco State University with American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Africana Studies, and Latino/a Studies as its four units, and four ethnic studies programs became established at the University of California, Berkeley. The Association for Asian American Studies, a professional organization designed to promote teaching and research in the field, was established in 1979.

Topics in Asian American Studies
Drawing from numerous disciplines such as sociology, history, literature, political science, and gender studies, Asian American Studies scholars consider a variety of perspectives and employ diverse analytical tools in their work. Unlike "Asian" Studies which focuses on the history, culture, religion, etc. of Asian people living in Asia, Asian American Studies is interested in the history, culture, experiences, of Asians living in the United States.

Academic programs in Asian American Studies provide students with the opportunity to examine the history of Asian-Americans, which includes topics such as immigration and race-based exclusion policies.

Asian American Studies provides an academic avenue for addressing issues of racial oppression, capitalism at home, and imperialism abroad.

The discourse also includes studies on how first- and second-generation Asian Americans deal with adjustment and assimilation, especially on their Americanization and aggressive pursuit of higher education and prestigious occupations in a society that still discriminates against them.

Asian American Studies focuses on the identities, historical and contemporary experiences of individuals and groups in the United States. Concepts and issues that are crucial to this interdisciplinary curriculum include: Orientalism, diaspora, Asian American masculinity, Asian American femininity, cultural politics, and media representation.

Major programs and departments
Major Asian American studies programs in California include those at University of California, Berkeley, University of California, San Diego, University of California, Santa Barbara, University of California, Irvine, University of California, Davis, San Francisco State University (SFSU), California State University, Long Beach, California State University, Northridge, California State University, Fullerton, City College of San Francisco, University of Southern California, The Claremont Colleges, and at UCLA.

Outside of California, major programs include Dartmouth College, University of Washington, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, University of Maryland, College Park, University of Colorado, Hunter College, Cornell University, Binghamton University, and Columbia University. Other rising programs include Arizona State University, New York University, Northwestern University, University of Pennsylvania and University of Minnesota. Currently, several universities, including University of North Carolina, University of Virginia, Syracuse University, and many others are in the process of developing Asian American Studies departments.

Master of Arts in Asian American Studies programs are available at UCLA and SFSU.

At the time of its founding (by Lee C. Lee) in 1987, the Asian American Studies Program at Cornell University was the first such program in the Ivy League and on the east coast. Today it has four core faculty members in the humanities and social sciences in a variety of departments and colleges. This cross-college, university-wide position accommodates the extensive teaching and research interests of the Program's faculty and reflects the breadth of the vibrant field of Asian American Studies in general. In the classroom, in scholarship, and through campus and community advocacy, the Program is committed to examining the histories and experiences; identities, social and community formations; politics; and contemporary concerns of people of Asian ancestry in the United States and other parts of the Americas.

On the East Coast, the State University of New York at Stony Brook created an Asian & Asian American Studies Department after a 52 million dollar donation by Charles B. Wang (the founder of Computer Associates). The Charles B. Wang Center is designed as a vital space for multi-disciplinary and multicultural dialogues. The  building was officially presented to Stony Brook University by Charles B. Wang on October 22, 2002. It was the largest single private gift ever received by the State University of New York 64-campus system. The Wang Center is used for conferences, art exhibits, film festivals, lectures, seminars, and performances. It is open to all Stony Brook students, faculty, and staff as well as the surrounding community.

Hunter College, City University of New York, located in the Upper East Side in Manhattan is home to the only Asian American Studies Program in the CUNY system. The program was established in 1993 through student and faculty activism, with Peter Kwong as the inaugural director. Despite offering the largest number of Asian American Studies courses in New York City, Hunter College does not have an Asian American Studies department nor does it offer an Asian American Studies major. In 2006, when the program was under threat of being cut, student activists formed The Coalition for the Revitalization of Asian American Studies at Hunter to fight to keep Asian American Studies. The students succeeded in saving the minor program, and they continue to fight for an Asian American Studies major and department.

Queens College, City University of New York, located in the neighborhood of Flushing in New York City, is home to the Asian/American Center. It was established to conduct research with community needs in mind. It serves as a hub for research into Asian American issues, particularly focusing on the Asian diaspora in the New York area, and offers a minor in Asian American Community Studies (AACS).


Victor Rifaut

.

Victor Rifaut (11 January 1799 — 2 March 1838) was a French musician of the first half of the XIX specialized in opéra comique. A composer of the second order, he rubbed shoulders with masters of the genre such as Auber and Adolphe Adam and often collaborated with them.

Life
Rifaut was born in Paris: his father, Pierre Rifaut, double bass at the Orchestre de l'Opéra gave him his first music lessons before he entered the Conservatoire de Paris at the age of 13 in 1811. There he studied solfeggio and piano, then harmony and musical composition and obtained a First Prize for harmony in 1814.

In 1820, competing for the Prix de Rome, he obtained a Second Grand Prize for composition with the cantata Sophinibe. The following year, at the same competition, he won the first prize with the cantata Diane et Endymion. He stayed at the Villa Medici in Rome from 20 December 1821 to 31 December 1823, travelling to Naples, Germany and Austria. He befriended the Norman painter Joseph-Désiré Court (1797–1865), also Prix de Rome, who in 1822 painted a portrait of Rifaut sitting at his work table in front of an open window on a landscape of the city of Rome. This painting is still kept in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen.

On his return to Paris in 1824 he resumed his job as accompanist at the Théâtre of the Opéra-Comique before being appointed there head of singing and pianist répétiteur two years later. In 1833, after the departure of Fromental Halévy, he was invited to take the "harmony and practical accompaniment class for women at the Conservatoire de Paris", and held this position until his untimely death by illness on 2 March 1838. He died in Orléans where he had retired with his family the previous year.

On 30 August 1826, he had married Jeanne-Emélie Belloste in Paris, a singer at the Opéra-Comique known as Mme Rifaut. Mother of two children and widow at thirty, she remarried and died in 1881.

Work
Rifaut composed a number of works for the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique between 1826 and 1837, but none was really successful and they remained forgotten. The most accomplished ("Graceful and light but wise music" writes the ; "A rather pretty little act" writes a critic of L'Artiste: journal de la littérature et des beaux-arts) seems to have been André ou la Sentinelle perdue, a one-act play with a libretto by Saint-Georges, performed at the Opéra-Comique on December 9, 1834, with his wife, Mme Rifaut, in one of the female roles.

His musical activity is mainly notable for his role as arranger for Opéra comique works composed by Fromental Halévy (Le Roi et le batelier, one act play on a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges en 1827), Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (La Fiancée in 1829, Le dieu et la bayadère in 1830, Le Philtre in 1831, Gustave ou le Bal masqué in 1833) and Adolphe Adam (Danilowa, 3 acts, in 1830, Le Chalet in 1834, Les Chaperons blancs in 1836).


Minerotrophic

Minerotrophic soils and vegetation receive their water supply mainly from streams or springs.  This water has flowed over or through rocks or other minerals, often acquiring dissolved chemicals which raise the nutrient levels and reduce the acidity.  If these chemicals include chemical bases such as calcium or magnesium ions, the water is referred to as base-rich and is neutral or alkaline.

In contrast to minerotrophic environments, ombrotrophic environments get their water mainly from precipitation, and so are very low in nutrients and more acidic.


Lindmania guianensis

Lindmania guianensis is a species in the genus Lindmania. This species is native to Venezuela and Guyana.

Two varieties are recognized:

Lindmania guianensis var. guianensis - Guyana, Bolívar
Lindmania guianensis var. vestita (L.B.Sm.) L.B.Sm. - Venezuela

Ryan Cross

Ryan Cross (born 6 October 1979) is a Rugby Union footballer for Racing Metro 92 after signing from USA Perpignan in the French Top 14. He previously played for the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition, the Western Force and the NSW Waratahs in Super Rugby and the Australia national rugby union team.

Early life
Son of former professional rugby league footballer Paul Cross, a Coogee Randwick Wombats junior who played on the  for the club in the 1964 and 1965 seasons, Ryan was a product of Waverley College, and was a member of the Australian Schools side in both 1996 and 1997, some of his teammates being future Wallabies Matt Dunning, Adam Freier, David Lyons, George Smith, Phil Waugh and Craig Wing.  But he decided to switch codes and joined the Sydney Roosters rugby league club. His brother Clay is a shot put.

Rugby league career
Cross made his first-grade debut on 17 April 1998, scoring two tries against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. After a promising start to his league career, including an appearance at centre in the 2000 NRL Grand Final, the Roosters' first in 20 years, he had two serious leg injuries. A broken leg saw him miss much of the 2001 NRL season. Just a few matches into the 2002 NRL season he suffered a major knee injury that kept him out for the remainder of that year. That season, Sydney Roosters won the Premiership, their first in 27 years. Cross returned in the 2003 NRL season, finishing as the club's leading try-scorer. He played at centre in the Roosters' loss to the Panthers in the 2003 NRL Grand Final.

In 2004 Cross was chosen to represent City Origin. He then went on to play for the Roosters at centre in their loss to cross-Sydney rivals the Bulldogs in the 2004 NRL Grand Final.

In 2005 Cross was again chosen to represent City Origin. He was suspended for six weeks for eye-gouging Parramatta's Glenn Morrison in a match which the Roosters won 12-8. His absence proved costly for the Roosters as they just missed the finals that year. Cross was named the 2005 Sydney Roosters season player of the year.

In June 2006, after a period of speculation and rumour, Cross signed a two-year deal with the Australian Rugby Union and went to Perth to play for the new Super Rugby side, the Western Force. Cross left the Roosters as the fifth-highest try scorer in the club's history, with 85 tries from his 143 matches. He also played in three losing Grand Finals for the club.

Rugby union career
Cross made his debut Super Rugby with the Western Force on 2 February 2007, against the Highlanders. He went on to play every match that season and scored three tries.

After an outstanding 2008 Super 14 season, in which he won The West Australian/Rosendorff Emirates Western Force Player of the Year Award, Cross was called up for national duty by new Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.

He scored his first Wallaby try against France at the Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane in his second test on 5 July 2008, having come on as a Second-Half replacement. He followed this with another try later on in the game, both came from Matt Giteau passes.

Ryan Cross got his full test debut against New Zealand on 26 July in place of the injured Stirling Mortlock. He scored the first try which contributed to the 34-19 victory over the All Blacks.

In 2011 Cross signed with the NSW Waratahs and played in 15 matches during the 2011 Super Rugby season. After playing off the bench in the first few matches, Cross then played the remaining matches as the regular starting centre, including the semi final loss to the Auckland Blues in Auckland.

At the conclusion of the 2011 Super Rugby season Cross signed for USA Perpignan in the French Top 14. The 3-month contract was cover for centres David Marty and Maxime Mermoz who were on 2011 Rugby World Cup duty with the French team who lost the final to host team New Zealand. He currently plays for Racing Metro 92.

Ryan stepped back into Suburban Rugby in Sydney and played for 2 seasons for Balmain Rugby who won the Kentwell cup competition as joint premiers in 2013..


Petit Gulf cotton

Petit Gulf cotton was a cotton hybrid patented by planter Rush Nutt at his Laurel Hill Plantation in Rodney, Mississippi, in 1833. It was named "Petit Gulf" for the bend of the Mississippi River where it was grown. It proved more resistant than the green seed cotton from Georgia as long as planters followed the breeding process used in Rodney. Indeed, it was said to be less likely to rot than other breeds of cotton. Moreover, it was easier to pick with a human hand, thus leading to greater productivity.

An eponymous song appears on Justin Townes Earle's 2010 album ''Harlem River Blues.

Trzebule

Trzebule  () is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dąbie, within Krosno Odrzańskie County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland. It lies approximately  south-east of Dąbie,  south-east of Krosno Odrzańskie, and  west of Zielona Góra.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II).
