Rhododendron (horse)

Rhododendron (foaled 11 February 2014) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old in 2016 she was rated the joint-best filly of her generation trained in Europe, inferior only to the American filly Lady Aurelia. After finishing second on her racecourse debut she won a maiden race at Goodwood Racecourse and then recorded her first important success when taking the Group Two Debutante Stakes at the Curragh in August. She was slightly disappointing when finishing third in the Moyglare Stud Stakes but returned to her best in October to win the Fillies' Mile. As a three-year-old she finished second in both the 1000 Guineas and the Oaks before winning the Prix de l'Opera. As a four-year-old i 2018 she added another major win in the Lockinge Stakes.

Background
Rhododendron is a bay filly with no white markings bred in Ireland by Orpendale, Chelston & Wynatt, breeding companies associated with the Coolmore Stud organisation. The filly was sent into training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. Like many Coolmore horses, the official details of her ownership have changed from race to race: she has sometimes been listed as being the property of Susan Magnier, while on other occasions she has been described as being owned by a partnership of Derrick Smith, Michael Tabor and Susan Magnier.

She was sired by Galileo, who won the Derby, Irish Derby and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2001. Galileo is now one of the world's leading stallions and has been champion sire of Great Britain and Ireland five times. His other progeny include Cape Blanco, Frankel, Golden Lilac, Nathaniel, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle, Found Minding and Ruler of the World. Rhododendron's dam Halfway to Heaven was one of the best European fillies of her generation, winning the Irish 1,000 Guineas, Nassau Stakes and Sun Chariot Stakes in 2008. Halfway to Heaven's dam, Cassandra Go was a top class sprinter, whose wins included the King George Stakes, Temple Stakes and King's Stand Stakes and was a descendant of the Kentucky Oaks winner Native Street. As a daughter of Galileo out of a Pivotal mare she was bred on very similar lines to her stablemate and contemporary Hydrangea, against whom she raced on several occasions.

Racing career

2016: two-year-old season
Rhododendron had her first run in a maiden race over seven furlongs at the Curragh on 24 June. Ridden by Seamie Heffernan she started at odds of 7/1 and finished second, two and a quarter lengths behind the winner Rehana. In July the filly was sent to England and started odds-on favourite for a seven furlong maiden at Goodwood Racecourse in which she was ridden by Ryan Moore. After racing in mid-division in the twelve-runner field she took the lead inside the final furlong and won by one and three-quarter lengths from the Ralph Beckett-trained Amabilis.

In August she was reunited with Heffernan when she was moved up in class for the Group Two Debutante Stakes at the Curragh and started 11/8 favourite ahead of Rehana and the O'Brien-trained Brave Anna. The best fancied of the other six runners were the Ballydoyle third string Hydrangea and Intricately, trained by Aidan O'Brien's son Joseph. Hydrangea set the early pace with Rhododendron settled behind the leaders before moving up to join her stable companion approaching the final furlong. The favourite gained the advantage and despite hanging right in the closing stages she held off the rallying Hydrangea to win by a head. Commenting on the performances of the sirst two finishers O'Brien said "They ran very well and both gave the impression they'll stay further. We thought Rhododendron had come forward from her Goodwood maiden win while Hydrangea, too, is progressive and she rallied well when the other filly headed her."

On 11 September Rhododendron was moved up to Group One class for the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh and started second favourite behind her stablemate Promise To Be True, the winner of the Silver Flash Stakes in a seven-runner field which also included Hydrangea, Rehana, Brave Anna and Intricately. After chasing the leaders she reached third place at half way but could make no further progress after hanging right again and finished third behind Intricately and Hydrangea. Rhododendron ended her season with a second trip to England to contest the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket Racecourse on 7 October. Ridden by Moore she was made the 5/2 joint-favourite alongside the Godolphin filly Subetsu with Hydrangea third in the betting on 4/1. The other five runners were the May Hill Stakes winner Rich Legacy and the maiden winners Spatial, Fleabiscuit, Easy Victory and Urban Fox. Rich Legacy took an early lead before giving way to Spatial after two furlongs as Moore settled Rhododendron just behind the leaders. Rhododendron made good progress in the last quarter mile, took the lead approaching the final furlong and quickly opened up a clear advantage. She stayed on well to win "comfortably" by two and a quarter lengths from Hydrangea with a gap of six lengths back to Urban Fox in third place. After the race O'Brien said "We were a little confused with her run in the Moyglare. We always thought she was a little bit better than Hydrangea at home. You couldn’t be sure with them but they are two very good-looking fillies out of two very good mares."

2017: three-year-old season
In 2017 Rhododendron did not contest any of the recognised trial races and made her seasonal debut in the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket on 7 May. Ridden by Moore she started 5/4 favourite against thirteen opponents. After being repeatedly blocked in her attempts to make progress in the last quarter mile she was switched sharply left and finished strongly but was beaten two lengths into second place by her stablemate Winter.

Despite her defeat at Newmarket Rhododendron was made odds-on favourite when she was stepped up to one and a half miles for the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles at Epsom Racecourse on 2 June. She was the only filly to offer any challenge to the winner Enable but after racing alongside the British-trained filly from two furlongs out she faded in the closing tages and was beaten five lengths into second place. She was then sent to France for the Prix de Diane at Chantilly Racecourse sixteen days later but had no chance to show her true form as she was pulled up by Moore after breaking a blood vessel. O'Brien later said "it was the worst you've ever seen. She sprayed blood everywhere. We put it down to a very hot day and she's never done it before or since but they very rarely come back from something like that."

After a break of over two months the filly returned for the Matron Stakes at the Curragh in September and came home seventh of the ten runners behind her stablemate Hydrangea. At Chantilly on 1 October, faced Hydrangea again in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera over 2000 metres and started at odds of 11/2 in a thirteen-runner field which also included Senga (Prix de Diane), Queen's Trust (Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf), Lacazar (Preis der Diana), Wuheida, Shamreen (Blandford Stakes) and Left Hand (Prix Vermeille). Ridden by Seamie Heffernan she tracked the leaders before going to the front in the straight and held on "gamely" in the closing stages to win in a five-horse blanket finish from Hydrangea, Lady Frankel, Wuheida and Left Hand.

For her final run of the year Rhododendron was sent to California for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf over nine furlongs at Del Mar on 4 November and started the 4/1 second favourite behind Lady Eli. She stayed on well in the straight but was beaten a length into second place by Wuheida.

2018: four-year-old season
Rhododendron began her third campaign by taking on male opposition for the first time and finishing fourth behind Cracksman in the Prix Ganay over 2100 metres at the re-opened Longchamp Racecourse on 29 April. She was again matched against male opponents in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury Racecourse on 19 May and started the 100/30 favourite in a fourteen-runner field which included Limato, Lancaster Bomber, Lightning Spear, Accidental Agent, Addeybb (Sandon Mile), Suedois (Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes) and Deauville (Belmont Derby). After racing close behind the leaders, the filly produced a strong late run, caught Lightning Spear on the line and won by a short head. Ryan Moore commented "She's been a great filly at two, three and now four. It's testament to everyone who puts in the hard work at home. She's been unfortunate not to have won more in her time. She's very adaptable with ground, distance and has got a great attitude".

In the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot Rhododendron started second favourite but never looked likely to win and came home ninth of the fifteen runners behind Accidental Agent. She then finished last of six behind Wild Illusion when favourite for the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse on 2 August and last of nine in the Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville Racecourse later that month. On 15 September she faced top-class male opposition in the Irish Champion Stakes and came home sixth of the seven runners behind Roaring Lion. An attempt to repeat her 2017 success in the Prix de l'Opera ended in failure as she finished twelfth, more than 20 lengths behind the winner Wild Illusion at Longchamp Racecourse on 7 October. She produced a much better effort in the Champion Stakes at Ascot two weeks later as she finished fifth of the eight runners behind Cracksman, just over two lengths behind the second-placed Crystal Ocean.

Assessment
In the official European Classification of two-year-olds for 2016 Rhododendron was given a rating of 116, making her the second best juvenile filly of the season, five pounds behind Lady Aurelia and equal to Brave Anna.

Raoult's law

Raoult's law ( law) is a law of thermodynamics established by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887. It states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture. In consequence, the relative lowering of vapour pressure of a dilute solution of nonvolatile solute is equal to the mole fraction of solute in the solution.

Mathematically, Raoult's law for a single component in an ideal solution is stated as

where  is the partial pressure of the component  in the gaseous mixture (above the solution),  is the equilibrium vapor pressure of the pure component , and  is the mole fraction of the component  in the mixture (in the solution).

Once the components in the solution have reached equilibrium, the total vapor pressure of the solution can be determined by combining Raoult's law with Dalton's law of partial pressures to give

If a non-volatile solute (zero vapor pressure, does not evaporate) is dissolved into a solvent to form an ideal solution, the vapor pressure of the final solution will be lower than that of the solvent. The decrease in vapor pressure is directly proportional to the mole fraction of solute in an ideal solution:

Principle of Raoult's law

Raoult's law is a phenomenological law that assumes ideal behavior based on the simple microscopic assumption that intermolecular forces between unlike molecules are equal to those between similar molecules: the conditions of an ideal solution. This is analogous to the ideal gas law, which is a limiting law valid when the interactive forces between molecules approach zero, for example as the concentration approaches zero. Raoult's law is instead valid if the physical properties of the components are identical. The more similar the components are, the more their behavior approaches that described by Raoult's law. For example, if the two components differ only in isotopic content, then Raoult's law is essentially exact.

Comparing measured vapor pressures to predicted values from Raoult's law provides information about the true relative strength of intermolecular forces. If the vapor pressure is less than predicted (a negative deviation), fewer molecules of each component than expected have left the solution in the presence of the other component, indicating that the forces between unlike molecules are stronger. The converse is true for positive deviations.

For a solution of two liquids A and B, Raoult's law predicts that if no other gases are present, then the total vapor pressure  above the solution is equal to the weighted sum of the "pure" vapor pressures  and  of the two components.  Thus the total pressure above the solution of A and B would be

Since the sum of the mole fractions is equal to one,

This is a linear function of the mole fraction , as shown in the graph.

Thermodynamic considerations
Raoult's law was originally discovered as an idealised experimental law. Using Raoult's law as the definition of an ideal solution, it is possible to deduce that the chemical potential of each component of the liquid is given by

where  is the chemical potential of component i in the pure state.
This equation for the chemical potential may then be used to derive other thermodynamic properties of an ideal solution (see Ideal solution).

However, a more fundamental thermodynamic definition of an ideal solution is one in which the chemical potential of each component is given by the above formula. Assuming also that the vapor mixture acts as an ideal gas, it is then possible to re-derive Raoult's law as follows.

If the system is at equilibrium, then the chemical potential of the component i must be the same in the liquid solution and in the vapor above it. That is,

Assuming the liquid is an ideal solution and using the formula for the chemical potential of a gas gives

where  is the fugacity of the vapor of , and  indicates the reference state.

The corresponding equation for pure  in equilibrium with its (pure) vapor is

where  indicates the pure component.

Subtracting the equations gives

which re-arranges to

The fugacities can be replaced by simple pressures if the vapor of the solution behaves ideally, i.e.

which is Raoult's law.

Ideal mixing
An ideal solution would follow Raoult's law, but ideal solutions are extremely rare. Interactions between gas molecules are typically quite small, especially if the vapor pressures are low. However, the interactions in a liquid are very strong. For a solution to be ideal, the interactions between unlike molecules must be of the same magnitude as those between like molecules. This approximation is only true when the different species are almost chemically identical. One can see that from considering the Gibbs free energy change of mixing:

This is always negative, so mixing is spontaneous. However the expression is, apart from a factor −T, equal to the entropy of mixing. This leaves no room at all for an enthalpy effect and implies that  must be equal to zero, and this can only be true if the interactions U between the molecules are indifferent.

It can be shown using the Gibbs–Duhem equation that if Raoult's law holds over the entire concentration range x = 0–1 in a binary solution then, for the second component, the same must also hold.

If deviations from the ideal are not too large, Raoult's law is still valid in a narrow concentration range when approaching x = 1 for the majority phase (the solvent). The solute also shows a linear limiting law, but with a different coefficient. This law is known as Henry's law.

The presence of these limited linear regimes has been experimentally verified in a great number of cases. In a perfectly ideal system, where ideal liquid and ideal vapor are assumed, a very useful equation emerges if Raoult's law is combined with Dalton's Law:

where  is the mole fraction of component  in the solution, and  is its mole fraction in the gas phase. This equation shows that, for an ideal solution where each pure component has a different vapor pressure, the gas phase is enriched in the component with the higher pure vapor pressure, and the solution is enriched in the component with the lower pure vapor pressure. This phenomenon is the basis for distillation.

Non-ideal mixing
In elementary applications, Raoult's law is generally valid when the liquid phase is either nearly pure or a mixture of similar substances.  Raoult's law may be adapted to non-ideal solutions by incorporating two factors that account for the interactions between molecules of different substances.  The first factor is a correction for gas non-ideality, or deviations from the ideal-gas law.  It is called the fugacity coefficient ().  The second, the activity coefficient , is a correction for interactions in the liquid phase between the different molecules.

This modified or extended Raoult's law is then written as

Real solutions
Many pairs of liquids are present in which there is no uniformity of attractive forces, i.e., the adhesive and cohesive forces of attraction are not uniform between the two liquids, so that they deviate from the Raoult's law applied only to ideal solutions.

Negative deviation
 If the vapor pressure of a mixture is lower than expected from Raoult's law, there is said to be a negative deviation.

Negative deviations from Raoult's law arise when the forces between the particles in the mixture are stronger than the mean of the forces between the particles in the pure liquids. This is evidence that the adhesive forces between different components are stronger than the average cohesive forces between like components. In consequence each component is retained in the liquid phase by attractive forces that are stronger than in the pure liquid so that its partial vapor pressure is lower.

For example, the system of chloroform (CHCl3) and acetone (CH3COCH3) has a negative deviation from Raoult's law, indicating an attractive interaction between the two components that has been described as a hydrogen bond.

The system hydrochloric acid – water has a large enough negative deviation to form a minimum in the vapor pressure curve known as a (negative) azeotrope, corresponding to a mixture that evaporates without change of composition. When these two components are mixed, the reaction is exothermic as ion-dipole intermolecular forces of attraction are formed between the resulting ions (H3O+ and Cl–) and the polar water molecules so that ΔHmix is negative.

Positive deviation
When the cohesive forces between like molecules are greater than the adhesive forces between dissimilar molecules, the dissimilarities of polarity leads both components to escape solution more easily. Therefore, the vapor pressure is greater than expected from the Raoult's law, showing positive deviation. If the deviation is large, then the vapor pressure curve shows a maximum at a particular composition and form a positive azeotrope. Some mixtures in which this happens are (1) benzene and methanol, (2) carbon disulfide and acetone, and (3) chloroform and ethanol. When these pairs of components are mixed, the process is endothermic reaction as weaker intermolecular forces are formed so that ΔmixH is positive.

Electrolytes solutions
The expression of the law for this case includes the van 't Hoff factor which is also known as correction factor for solutions

Berovo

Berovo ( ) is a small town near the Maleševo Mountains,  from Skopje,  from Strumica and   from Kočani, in North Macedonia. It is the seat of Berovo Municipality.

Demographics
There are 7,002 residents in the town of Berovo.

History

In the late 19th and early 20th century, Berovo was part of the Kosovo Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. As a result of the Balkan Wars, the town was included in the area ceded in 1913 to the Kingdom of Serbia, which  in 1918 joined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929). From 1929 to 1941, Berovo was part of the Vardar Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. From 1941 to 1944, during the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, Berovo, as most of Vardar Macedonia, was annexed by the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

Features

Sustained by the Bregalnica River, Berovo stands at   above sea level and can be reached by car using a single asphalt road leading to the city. Berovo Lake and the forest of the Maleshevo Mountains are two popular sites for tourists and Berovo craftsmen are well known for their skill in traditional wood crafting. Berovo cheese is also a well-known commodity.

Culture

Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael

The first monastery in Berovo was built between 1815 until it was consecrated in 1818. Enlightener Joachim Krcovski was among those present at the consecration. Historical data concerning the construction of the church and the monastery is inconclusive, but it is known that circumstances were very difficult.

In the early 19th century Berovo was a rural settlement with around two hundred houses and one small church that had fallen into decay. The inhabitants at the time decided to have a new church built at the site known as Mogila. The parish priest, Friar Peco, was assigned to obtain a building permit from the Turkish authorities in Radoviš. The Turkish governor Vali gave a building permit but made sure to set conditions for construction of the church as difficult as possible. The church was to be built low, below the road level and not to be seen, construction was to end in forty days, and Fr Peco was to give his youngest daughter, Sultana, to the harem. The people of the town prevailed and the church building was finished and covered with stone blocks, soot, and lime (so as not to be noticed) in 40 days. Seeing that the church had been completed, Vali immediately ordered the deaths of three church elders in front of the church, and since Sultana had fled to Kyustendil, Friar Peco was imprisoned for three years. When Sultana found out that Vali had been murdered by komitas, she promptly returned to Berovo.

Convent

The first convent, located at the exit from Berovo leading to the dam and the lake, was built in 1940 in a 19th-century architectural opus, twenty years after the construction of the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael, and the first nuns were the daughter-in-law and the daughter of Friar Risto, a son-in-law of Friar Peco. They had their monastic tonsure (removal of the hair of the head) with a blessing from the Rila Monastery's abbott. Eugenia I was the first abbess of the convent, the second – Eugenia II, the third – Eugenia III, and the fourth abbess was Eulampia in 1958 by the first Archbishop of Ohrid, Dositheus. At its peak, in the first half of the twentieth century, the convent numbered up to sixty nuns, with a rich and developed economy, a theological seminary, a weaving mill, and the first single-phase hydro-power plant in this area was in the convent.

The three gates of the church face the town, the river and the pine forest. A large porch dominates the convent yard and in the dimness of its interior oil lamps lighten images of saints, painted in a characteristic style that is antonymic to Byzantine canons. Only one icon, that of Noah, painted by George Veljanov from Strumica in 1818. From 1897 to 1920 the painter Gavril Atanasov also worked in the convent. The icon of the Dormition of the Theotokos was painted by Gregory Pecanov from Strumica in 1878. The residential quarters are of a free-style construction. They attract with the warmth of the wood used, shaped in a 19th-century old-urban style.

Four sisters who came from the Veljusa monastery live together with the last nun of the previous lineage. The sisterhood of the convent is active in Byzantine style icon painting. The beginnings of the renewal of fresco painting in Macedonian monasteries was started by the sisterhood.

The Hesychastic (14th century Greek sect of Christianity) monastery typikon functions as a place of prayer, a holy hesychasterion. The upper floor of the church was recently turned into a small chapel dedicated to St. Gregory Palamas.

Location
The road starts at Nyakahita, on the Masaka–Mbarara Road, about  east of Mbarara, the largest city in the Ankole sub-region. The road continues through four western Ugandan districts to end at Fort Portal, a total of about . The coordinates of the road near Kamwenge are 0°11'09.0"N, 30°27'14.0"E (Latitude:0.185833; Longitude:30.453889).

Upgrading to bitumen

Before 2011, the entire road was poor grade gravel surface. In that year, the upgrading of the road to bitumen was divided into three sections: Nyakahita–Kazo , Kazo–Kamwenge , and Kamwenge–Fort Portal .

The Nyakahita–Kazo section was contracted to the China Communications Construction Company for USh:134 billion. The consulting engineers on the project were J. Burrow. This section was completed in June 2013. The Kazo–Kamwenge section was contracted to the China Railway Seventh Group for USh:167 billion. The Canadian engineering firm SNC Lavalin performed the consulting and supervision. Construction on these two sections began in May 2011. Funding was sourced from the African Development Bank and the Ugandan government. Work on the Kazo–Kamwenge Road ended in June 2014.

Work to upgrade the  Kamwenge–Fort Portal section was assigned to the China Railway Seventh Group. The USh:120 billion cost is funded jointly by the government of Uganda and the International Development Association. Work began in February 2015, and is expected to end in July 2016. In August 2017, the Daily Monitor, a Ugandan English language daily, reported that this section of the road had been completed.

Woman of the World (The Best of 2007–2018) is a compilation album by Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald. The album was released on 23 November 2018 by Mercury Records. Macdonald announced a European tour in support of the album, which took place between March and April 2019.

Background
The album includes all of her greatest hits including "Mr Rock & Roll" and "This Is the Life", plus a two new songs, "Woman of the World" and "Come Home", both songs are included on the film Patrick. Talking about the album, Macdonald said, "I remember the week of the 30th July 2007 – I released my first ever album This Is The Life, and I wasn’t quite sure how I found myself in that position. My album was number 1 in countries I’d never even been to before and I was so busy that I did not have time to take it in at all. Fast forward to 2017 and I released my fourth album – it was crazy for me. 10 years later people were still interested. I just felt that after such an incredible journey it was time to look back and feel proud of everything that has happened. I hope you enjoy this collection of music."

Igor (walrus)

Igor (born 1982 or 1983 – 11 April 2013) was a male walrus that lived in the Dolfinarium Harderwijk, where he was also subject of scientific research. He had played international draughts against world champion Ton Sijbrands. Igor also featured in the television show Animal Crackers with Dutch comedian André van Duin. Near the end of his life Igor fell ill, lost the will to eat and suffered from his shoulderjoint. After his condition further deteriorated the Dolfinarium decided to euthanize him. His remains were sent to the faculty of veterinary medicine of Utrecht University for further investigation.

Subject of research
As well as the other walrusses at the Dolfinarium Igor was the subject of scientific research. Igor participated in research concerning the functioning of walrus whiskers. With his whiskers Igor was able to differentiate between circles and triangles and showed this by shaking his head in different ways. Igor was able to recognize the shapes until they reached the size of the tip of a pen. Which showed that walrus whiskers have a similar sense of touch as human fingertips. Another study investigated the effects of drilling for oil and gas on walruses by subjecting Igor to different noises by letting him wear headphones.

Hakka Chinese

Hakka is a language group of varieties of Chinese, spoken natively by the Hakka people throughout southern China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and throughout the diaspora areas of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and in overseas Chinese communities around the world.

Due to its primary usage in scattered isolated regions where communication is limited to the local area, Hakka has developed numerous varieties or dialects, spoken in different provinces, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou, as well as in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Hakka is not mutually intelligible with Yue, Wu, Southern Min, Mandarin or other branches of Chinese, and itself contains a few mutually unintelligible varieties. It is most closely related to Gan and is sometimes classified as a variety of Gan, with a few northern Hakka varieties even being partially mutually intelligible with southern Gan. There is also a possibility that the similarities are just a result of shared areal features.

Taiwan (where Hakka is the native language of a significant minority of the island's residents) is a center for the study and preservation of the language. Pronunciation differences exist between the Taiwanese Hakka dialects and Mainland China's Hakka dialects; even in Taiwan, two major local varieties of Hakka exist.

The Meixian dialect (Moiyen) of northeast Guangdong in China has been taken as the "standard" dialect by the People's Republic of China. The Guangdong Provincial Education Department created an official romanization of Moiyen in 1960, one of four languages receiving this status in Guangdong.

Etymology
The name of the Hakka people who are the predominant original native speakers of the variety literally means "guest families" or "guest people": Hak 客 (Mandarin: kè) means "guest", and ka 家 (Mandarin: jiā) means "family". Among themselves, Hakka people variously called their language Hak-ka-fa (-va) 客家話, Hak-fa (-va) 客話, Tu-gong-dung-fa (-va) 土廣東話, literally "Native Guangdong language", and Ngai-fa (-va)𠊎話, "My/our language". In Tonggu county (铜鼓县), Jiangxi province, people call their language Huai-yuan-fa 怀远話.

History

Early history
It is commonly believed that Hakka people have their origins in several episodes of migration from northern China into southern China during periods of war and civil unrest dating back as far as the end of Western Jin. The forebears of the Hakka came from present-day Central Plains provinces of Henan and Shaanxi, and brought with them features of Chinese varieties spoken in those areas during that time. (Since then, the speech in those regions has evolved into dialects of modern Mandarin). The presence of many archaic features occur in modern Hakka, including final consonants , as are found in other modern southern Chinese varieties, but which have been lost in Mandarin.

Laurent Sagart (2002) considers Hakka and southern Gan Chinese to be sister dialects that descended from a single common ancestral language (Proto-Southern Gan) spoken in central Jiangxi during the Song Dynasty. In Hakka and southern Gan, Sagart (2002) identifies a non-Chinese substratum that is possibly Hmong-Mien, an archaic layer, and a more recent Late Middle Chinese layer. Lexical connections between Hakka, Kra-Dai, and Hmong-Mien have also been suggested by Deng (1999).

Due to the migration of its speakers, Hakka may have been influenced by other language areas through which the Hakka-speaking forebears migrated. For instance, common vocabulary is found in Hakka, Min, and the She (Hmong–Mien) languages. Today, most She people in Fujian and Zhejiang speak Shehua, which is closely related to Hakka.

Linguistic development
A regular pattern of sound change can generally be detected in Hakka, as in most Chinese varieties, of the derivation of phonemes from earlier forms of Chinese. Some examples:
 Characters such as 武 (war, martial arts) or 屋 (room, house), are pronounced roughly mwio and uk (mjuX and ʔuwk in Baxter's transcription) in Early Middle Chinese, have an initial v phoneme in Hakka, being vu and vuk in Hakka respectively. Like in Mandarin, labiodentalisation process also changed mj- to a w-like sound in Hakka before grave vowels, while Cantonese retained the original distinction (compare Mandarin 武 wǔ, 屋 wū, Cantonese 武 mou5, 屋 uk1).
 Middle Chinese initial phonemes /ɲ/ (ny in Baxter’s transcription) of the characters 人 and 日, among others, merged with ng- /ŋ/ initials in Hakka (人 ngin, 日 ngit). For comparison, in Mandarin, /ɲ/ became r- (人 rén, 日 rì), while in Cantonese, it merged with initial /j/ (人 yan4, 日 yat6).
 The initial consonant phoneme exhibited by the character 話 (word, speech; Mandarin huà) is pronounced f or v in Hakka (v does not properly exist as a distinct unit in many Chinese varieties).
 The initial consonant of 學  usually corresponds with an h [h] approximant in Hakka and a voiceless alveo-palatal fricative (x [ɕ]) in Mandarin.

Phonology

Dialects
Hakka has as many regional dialects as there are counties with Hakka speakers as the majority. Some of these Hakka dialects are not mutually intelligible with each other. Meixian is surrounded by the counties of Pingyuan, Dabu, Jiaoling, Xingning, Wuhua, and Fengshun. Each county has its own special phonological points of interest. For instance, Xingning lacks the codas  and . These have merged into  and , respectively. Further away from Meixian, the Hong Kong dialect lacks the  medial, so, whereas Meixian pronounces the character 光 as , Hong Kong Hakka dialect pronounces it as , which is similar to the Hakka spoken in neighbouring Shenzhen.

As much as endings and vowels are important, the tones also vary across the dialects of Hakka. The majority of Hakka dialects have six tones. However, there are dialects which have lost all of their  checked tone (Ru Sheng), and the characters originally of this tone class are distributed across the non-Ru tones. Such a dialect is Changting which is situated in the Western Fujian province. Moreover, there is evidence of the retention of an earlier Hakka tone system in the dialects of Haifeng and Lufeng situated on coastal south eastern Guangdong province. They contain a yin-yang splitting in the Qu tone, giving rise to seven tones in all (with yin-yang registers in Ping and Ru tones and a Shang tone).

In Taiwan, there are two main dialects: Sixian and Hailu (alternatively known as Haifeng; Hailu refers to Haifeng County and Lufeng County). Most Hakka dialect speakers found on Taiwan originated from these two regions. Sixian speakers come from Jiaying Prefecture (), mainly from the four counties of Chengxiang (now Meixian District), Zhengping (now Jiaoling), Xingning and Pingyuan. Most dialects of Taiwanese Hakka, except Sixian and Dabu, preserved postalveolar consonants (, ,  and ), which are uncommon in other southern Chinese varieties.

Vocabulary

Like other southern Chinese varieties, Hakka retains single syllable words from earlier stages of Chinese; thus a large number of syllables are distinguished by tone and final consonant. This reduces the need for compounding or making words of more than one syllable. However, it is also similar to other Chinese varieties in having words which are made from more than one syllable.

Hakka prefers the verb   when referring to saying rather than the Mandarin shuō 說 (Hakka ).

Hakka uses  , like Cantonese  for the verb "to eat" and   (Hakka ) for "to drink", unlike Mandarin which prefers chī  (Hakka ) as "to eat" and hē  (Hakka ) as "to drink" where the meanings in Hakka are different, to stutter and to be thirsty respectively.

Writing systems

Various dialects of Hakka have been written in a number of Latin orthographies, largely for religious purposes, since at least the mid-19th century.

Previously, the single largest work in Hakka was the New Testament and Psalms (1993, 1138 pp., see The Bible in Chinese: Hakka), but since 2012 that has been surpassed by the publication of the complete Hakka Bible known as the Today's Taiwan Hakka Version and includes the Old Testament along with audio recordings. These works render Hakka in both romanization (pha̍k-fa-sṳ) and Han characters (including ones unique to Hakka) and are based on the dialects of Taiwanese Hakka speakers. The work of Biblical translation is being performed by missionaries of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

The popular The Little Prince has also been translated into Hakka (2000), specifically the Miaoli dialect of Taiwan (itself a variant of the Sixian dialect). This also was dual-script, albeit using the Tongyong Pinyin scheme.

Media
Hakka TV is a state-run, primarily Hakka-language television channel in Taiwan that started in 2003. In mainland China, Meizhou Televisions's Hakka Public Channel (梅州電視台客家公共頻道) has broadcasts 24 hours a day in Hakka since 2006 .

Everett Sloane

Everett H. Sloane (October 1, 1909 – August 6, 1965) was an American character actor who worked in radio, theatre, films and television. He was also a songwriter and theatre director.

Early life
Sloane was born in Manhattan October 1, 1909, to Nathaniel I. Sloane and Rose (Gerstein) Sloane. At age seven he played Puck in a play at Manhattan's Public School 46 and decided to become an actor. He completed two years at the University of Pennsylvania, and left in 1927 to join Jasper Deeter's Hedgerow Theatre repertory company. He made his New York stage debut in 1928. Sloane took a Wall Street job as a stockbroker's runner, but when his salary was cut in half after the stock market crash of 1929 he began to supplement his income with radio work. He became the sleuth's assistant on WOR's Impossible Detective Mysteries, played the title character's sidekick, Denny, in Bulldog Drummond and went on to perform in thousands of radio programs.

Sloane married Lillian (Luba) Herman, an actress on stage and radio, January 4, 1933, in Manhattan.

Career
Sloane made his Broadway debut in 1935, playing Rosetti the agent in George Abbott's hit comedy, Boy Meets Girl.

Sloane was a member of the repertory company that presented the radio news dramatization series The March of Time. "It was like a stock company, whose members were the aristocrats of this relatively new profession of radio acting," wrote fellow actor Joseph Julian. At that time Julian had to content himself with being an indistinguishable voice in crowd scenes, envying this "hallowed circle" that included Sloane, Kenny Delmar, Arlene Francis, Gary Merrill, Agnes Moorehead,  Jeanette Nolan, Paul Stewart, Orson Welles, Richard Widmark, Art Carney, Ray Collins, Pedro de Cordoba,  Ted de Corsia, Juano Hernandez, Nancy Kelly, John McIntire, Jack Smart and Dwight Weist. The March of Time was one of radio's most popular shows.

Sloane's radio work led him to be hired by Orson Welles to become part of his Mercury Theatre. Sloane recorded one program with The Mercury Theatre on the Air and became a regular player when the show was picked up by a sponsor and became The Campbell Playhouse. Sloane moved with the rest of the company to Los Angeles to continue recording the show after Welles signed his contract with RKO Pictures. Sloane played Mr. Bernstein in Welles's first movie, Citizen Kane. After filming had wrapped, Sloane returned to New York to perform (together with fellow Kane stars Ray Collins and Paul Stewart) in Mercury Theatre's last play, Richard Wright's Native Son, which had 114 performances from March to June 1941. Although he did not appear in Welles's second film, The Magnificent Ambersons, in 1943 he joined fellow Mercury Theatre alumni Welles, Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, and Ruth Warrick in Journey into Fear. In 1947, Sloane also starred as lawyer Arthur Bannister in The Lady from Shanghai, produced and directed by Welles. He played an assassin in Renaissance-era Italy opposite Welles' Cesare Borgia in Prince of Foxes (1949).

Sloane portrayed a doctor for paraplegic World War II veterans in 1950's The Men with Marlon Brando (in his film debut).

Sloane's Broadway theater career ended in 1960 with From A to Z, a revue for which he wrote several songs. In between, he acted in plays such as Native Son (1941), A Bell for Adano (1944), and Room Service (1953), and directed the melodrama The Dancer (1946).

In the 1940s, Sloane was a frequent guest star on the radio theater series Inner Sanctum Mystery and The Shadow (as comic relief Shrevie, the cab driver, among other roles), and was in The Mysterious Traveler episode "Survival of the Fittest" with Kermit Murdock. Sloane co-starred with Tony Curtis and Piper Laurie in Universal's 1951 The Prince Who Was a Thief as a thief who adopts a baby and raises it as his own. In 1953, he starred as Captain Frank Kennelly in the CBS radio crime drama 21st Precinct. In 1957, he co-starred in the ninth episode of Suspicion co-starring Audie Murphy and Jack Warden. In 1958, he played Walter Brennan's role in a remake of To Have and Have Not called The Gun Runners.

Sloane also worked extensively on television.  In 1950, for example, he portrayed Vincent van Gogh in The Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse's production "The Life of Vincent Van Gogh."  Later, in November 1955, he starred in the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Our Cook's a Treasure". He appeared on the NBC anthology series The Joseph Cotten Show, also known as On Trial, in the 1956 episode "Law Is for the Lovers", with co-star Inger Stevens.

On March 7, 1959, he guest-starred in an episode of NBC's Cimarron City titled "The Ratman", appearing alongside the show's star, John Smith. Later that same year, Sloane appeared as a guest in "Stage Stop", the premiere episode of John Smith's second NBC western series, Laramie.

In 1961, Sloane appeared in an episode of The Asphalt Jungle. In the early 1960s, he voiced the title character of The Dick Tracy Show in 130 cartoons. Beginning in 1964, he provided character voices for the animated TV series Jonny Quest. He also starred in the ABC sci-fi television series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, in the episode "Hot Line".  He wrote the unused lyrics to "The Fishin' Hole", the theme song for The Andy Griffith Show. Sloane guest starred on the show in 1962, playing Jubal Foster in the episode "The Keeper of the Flame". He starred in both the film and television versions of Rod Serling's Patterns, and in the first season of The Twilight Zone in the episode "The Fever" (S1, Ep.17; Airdate: Jan. 29, 1960). He guest starred as a San Francisco attorney in the 1962 Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Poison Pen Pal".

Sloane appeared in Walt Disney's Zorro series in 1957–1958 as Andres Felipe Basilio, in the "Man from Spain" episodes. He also appeared in a few episodes of Bonanza and an episode in Rawhide.

Sloane performed renditions of passages from The Great Gatsby on the NBC program devoted to F. Scott Fitzgerald in August 1955, part of the "Biography in Sound" series on great American authors.

Death
Sloane committed suicide by barbiturate overdose at age 55 on August 6, 1965, apparently because he feared he was going blind as a result of glaucoma. He is buried at Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles.
