title: James Crawford Caffin

text:
Admiral Sir James Crawford Caffin (1812–1883) was a British Royal Navy officer, who rose to the rank of admiral.

Life
He was son of William Caffin of the Royal Laboratory, Woolwich. He entered the navy in 1824, and in 1827 was midshipman of the frigate  at the Battle of Navarino, and when she was wrecked off Carabusa on 31 January 1828.

In August 1831 Caffin passed his examination, and in October 1834 was appointed to the shore establishment (or "stone frigate") , then recently organised as a school of gunnery. He went on to serve for two years as gunnery-mate of  in the Mediterranean, and on his promotion to the rank of lieutenant, 28 June 1838, he was again appointed to Excellent, in which, with but a short break, he remained for the next three years.

Caffin was made commander on 7 March 1842, and studied for some months at the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth. He was appointed, together with an artillery officer, to investigate and report on a celebrated claim to invention, Samuel Alfred Warner's "Long Range" secret weapon. The report was unfavourable, and the reputation of Warner's alleged invention waned.

In February 1845 Caffin was one of a commission for experimenting on the relative merits of paddle and screw; and their report paved the way for the general introduction of the screw-propeller into the navy. On 11 October 1847 he was advanced to post rank; in 1854 he commanded  in the Baltic, and was present at the reduction of Bomarsund; and in 1855 he commanded  at the bombardment of Sveaborg, when, with the other captains, he was made a C.B. on 5 July.

On his return from the Baltic Caffin was appointed director-general of naval ordnance, and vice-president of the ordnance select committee at the War Office. In 1858 he was appointed director of stores in the war department, an office which he held till 1868. On his retirement he was made a civil K.C.B. He had previously, 2 December 1865, attained his flag-rank, but, not having served his time at sea, was placed on the retired list, on which he duly advanced to the higher grades—vice-admiral, 2 November 1871, and admiral, 1 August 1877.

Caffin died on 24 May 1883 at Blackheath, London, where he had lived for several years, the centre of a religious society.

Family
Caffin married in 1843 Frances, daughter of William Atfield of Cosham, Hampshire, who died in 1871. His son Crawford, a commander in the navy, received his promotion for his services in the transport department during the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879.

title: Thomas McCulloch Fairbairn (inventor)

text:
Thomas McCulloch Fairbairn is widely considered the inventor of modern miniature golf. Fairbairn is credited with changing minigolf from the earlier incarnation played at Thistle Dhu in Pinehurst, North Carolina to the modern version. Fairbairn's invention of an artificial green as well as his addition of artificial bunkers, curves and water hazards led to the miniature golf boom of the 1920s.

Fairbairn Cup

A team miniature golf tournament named in honor of Fairbairn is held each summer at the miniature golf course Pirate Island on the Seven Mile Island in New Jersey. The proceeds from this tournament are donated to find a cure for multiple sclerosis.

title: Edith Altman

text:
Edith Altman (23 May 1931 in Altenburg) is a German Jewish-American artist. She emigrated from Germany to the United States at a young age. Her work investigates the lowest and the highest levels of any hierarchy. She explores systems (governmental, financial, cultural, etc.) of power, and the powerless. Altman is "a student of Jewish mysticism", which has influenced her work.

Biography
Altman escaped Nazi Germany in 1938 as a little girl and emigrated to Chicago, Illinois. Her father, Max Hittman (Markus Hüttmann), escaped from Buchwenwald, where he had been imprisoned since 1938. She lost her grandfathers and grandmothers on both sides of her family to the Holocaust.
  In 1981 she attended Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and was a resident at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Art Gallery for the term of one month. Her work is in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (MCA). She resides in the Chicago area.

Influences
Altman's work is deeply influenced by both her experience as a Holocaust survivor and her Jewish faith. In her secular work, she places an emphasis on remembering the Holocaust as a central theme.

Notable works
 Reclaiming the Symbol: The Art of Memory (p. 1988) – a painting that attempts to reclaim the symbolism of the swastika and incorporates themes including kabbalism and Jewish mysticism. In the same work, she has also tried to reclaim the triangle, also expropriated by that hated regime for the purpose of sorting prisoners, for what she sees as its "original purpose" – part of the Star of David imagery.
 When We Are Born, We Are Given a Golden Tent, and All of Life is the Folding and Unfolding of the Tent (p. 1986) – a performance piece that included a tent made of canvas that was painted gold and contained silhouettes of both the artist and her father. The piece traveled to a number of exhibits in both the United States and Europe where Altman met with various people of different nationalities and religions as a religious healing experience and to face the pain of the shared experience of the Holocaust.

title: Luna Award

text:
The Luna Awards are awards given annually by the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) to recognize the outstanding achievements of the Filipino film industry. The first awards were presented in 1983 in Pasay. It is considered to be the Philippine counterpart of the Oscars. It used to be known as the FAP Awards until in 2005 when it got its current name. Since 2007, the Academy started holding simple awards ceremonies due to lack of government funding and reduction of its share from MMFF earnings. This also caused some delays for ceremony scheduling.

History
In 1981, the Executive Order 640-A was passed by then President Ferdinand Marcos. The order mandated that the Film Academy of the Philippines should recognize outstanding film achievements annually.

The first awards was presented on April 27, 1983, in Manila Film Center which gave awards to the best films of 1982. It was known as the Film Academy of the Philippines Awards, shortened as FAP Awards.

In 2005, FAP held a naming contest to give a unique name for the awards and Luna was chosen.

The awards for 2009 films (28th Luna Awards) were not given due to budget constraints. The academy still count it as part of the numbering pattern of the awards even though it was not held.

Statuette
In 2005, Luna was chosen as the new name for the awards from the 221 names submitted to the contest. Romeo Cando and Baltazar dela Cruz won the prize of ₱5000 for naming it.

The word "Luna" means moon in different languages. Luna is also the Roman goddess of moon. It is also can be reflected in the idiom "shoot for the moon" which means to aspire for the seemingly unreachable because winning a Luna Award is something difficult to achieve.

Indirectly, the choice of Luna is also a way to pay homage to Juan Luna. A painting which was made by Luna inspired production designer Angel "Ulay" Tantoco in making the design of this statuette in 1981.

Luna is a long-haired woman with a flowing dress which represents the muse of arts. She holds a wreath and stands on twelve circular steps that represent all of the guilds of the academy. She is made of aluminum cast and weighs four kilograms.

Voting process
For a film to eligible, it should be released and have a commercial run for at least three days from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year. The voting process of Luna Awards was formulated by the academy with the help of Asian Institute of Management (AIM). It was partially implemented in 2004 and fully implemented in 2005. It is done by a three-body system composed of the citers, nominators and voters. A citer can also be a voter but cannot be a nominator.

The citers indicate whether a work should be cited or not. The cited works move on the next round. Ten seats are allocated for each guild focused on the professions of:
Direction
Performance
Screenplay
Cinematography
Production Design
Editing
Musical Score
Sound
Another ten seats are allocated for a non-category guild, totaling to 90 seats.

In the second round, a nominator should be a previous nominee in any major film awards like Luna, FAMAS, Urian and Metro Manila Film Festival. Five seats are assigned for each profession, adding up to 40 seats. They would rank all cited works from best to worst, with the two to five highest scorers becoming the nominees. To become a nominee in Best Picture, a film should have three nominations and one of these nominations should be in Best Direction or Best Screenplay.

The nominees would then move on the last round where voters would cast their votes. Fifteen seats are designated per profession and another fifteen for a non-category guild, numbering to 135 seats. The winners would then be announced in the awards night.

title: Martino da Verona

text:
Martino da Verona, also Marco del Buono Giamberti, (died 1412) was an Italian painter. His exact date of birth is not known.

Biography
All that is known about Martino da Verona is through his works. He is known to have worked in and around Verona. He primarily painted religious-themed works for church commissions. The painting Four Saints (1400) at the Chiesa dei Domenicani as well as Enunciation and Coronation of the Virgin to the left of the presbytery at the church of Santo Stefano, Verona have been attributed to him. Based on analysis of The Consecration of St Eligius which resides at the Ashmolean Museum, Martino appears to have been influenced by Altichiero, who favored complex settings and narrative detail.

title: 2014 Santos Cessna Citation crash

text:
On 13 August 2014, a Cessna Citation Excel business jet crashed while trying to land at Santos Air Force Base, near Santos, Brazil, killing all seven people on board. Among the victims was Brazilian Socialist Party presidential candidate Eduardo Campos. Eleven people on the ground were also injured.
The accident investigation concluded that spatial disorientation in poor weather and pilot fatigue likely caused a low altitude loss of control of the aircraft, leading to the impact with the ground.

Accident

The Cessna Citation 560 XLS+ had taken off from Santos Dumont Airport, Rio de Janeiro, en route to Santos Air Force Base. Due to poor weather at the destination, the first landing attempt was abandoned, and contact was lost at 9:23 am local time. Around 10:00 am, the aircraft crashed into a densely-populated area, about 4.3 km southwest of the Santos Air Force Base.

Victims
Apart from Eduardo Campos, on board the aircraft were a pilot and a co-pilot, a camera operator, a photographer, one of Campos' campaign aides and one of his press aides; no-one survived. Eleven people on the ground were injured.

Investigation
Brazil's Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center performed the investigation into the accident. The report identified several factors that contributed to the accident.

Despite an annual maintenance inspection on 14 February 2014 which found that all maintenance was up-to-date, the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder had been inoperable since January 2013. By law, the aircraft could only fly without a functioning CVR if maintenance on it was scheduled within 15 days, or 30 in exceptional circumstances. The final report on the accident noted that the pilots' schedule complied with legal duty time and rest requirements, but that "expert examination of voice, speech and language parameters on the day of the accident...indicated...fatigue and somnolence on the part of the copilot in his communications with the ATS units."

The conditions at Santos Dumont Airport had deteriorated since the last meteorological report the pilots had received. The ceiling was  below the safe ceiling for a circle-to-land approach, but allowed an approach using the ECHO 1 route. Despite informing air traffic control that they would use the ECHO 1 approach to Runway 35, the aircraft was far to the right of the ECHO 1 approach. After reviewing other approaches the captain had made using the flight management system on visual approaches, the investigators hypothesized that the captain was using a visual approach, aided by the FMS, with the intention of joining the ECHO 1 trajectory on final approach. The report notes that the captain used a similar approach in previous landings and that "it is possible that the captain’s experience of landing in runways of other countries with precarious infrastructure conditions, in addition to his mistaken assumption of the real meteorological conditions in the aerodrome, may have contributed to his feeling safe upon adopting such procedure." However, such an approach, which saved five minutes, was not permissible in the meteorological conditions at the time of the crash, when aircraft could only use instrument only (IFR) approaches.

The reason for abandoning the approach is unknown. Since the meteorological conditions were close to the minimum permitted for an IFR approach, the aircraft would need to approach close to the ECHO 1 approach trajectory. On the aircraft's improper approach, the investigation noted that there was a low probability that the aircraft could have stabilized its approach in order to land safely. With a wet runway and if the aircraft crossed the threshold at the reference speed, the aircraft would have a  safety margin to land on the wet runway. There was a  tailwind at the time of the attempted landing. Additionally, a non-directional radio beacon (NDB) just before the runway (RR NDB) was non-functional on the day of the accident. Because the aircraft did not follow the ECHO 1 approach, it did not pass the only NDB available for determining the missed approach point, which was SAT NDB. The report concluded that "the fact that the crew did not follow the profile of the ECHO 1 [approach], along with their difficulty stabilizing the aircraft on a final approach, and the tail wind component condition may have contributed to their decision to discontinue the approach."

The proper missed approach procedure was to make a left turn at the missed approach point—the RR NDB, which was inoperable, or one minute and fifteen seconds past SAT NDB, which the aircraft didn't cross—and climb to . However, the pilots made a low pass over the runway and began a gentle left turn at the end of the runway. Witnesses state that the aircraft made a low pass over the port before disappearing into the clouds. On this trajectory, the aircraft made a "tight" turn, with a bank angle up to 60° and g-force up to 2.0 G. The investigation hypothesized that the pilots were flying manually, therefore leading to a large workload for the pilot-in-command. The missed approach procedure required a significant amount of work that had to be performed in a short time. Investigators noted that "[t]he captain’s personal characteristics, indicating a person with a more impositive and confident posture, in opposition to the more passive posture of the copilot, in addition to the more limited knowledge of the equipment on the part of the latter and the possibility that he (the copilot) was fatigued, may also have hindered the dynamics of the crew in the management of the flight." Investigators believe the combination of the meteorological conditions, the effect of the high g-forces on the pilots' sense of spatial perception, and that the pilot-in-command would have been rapidly switching his focus between the instrument panel and exterior caused "incapacitating" spatial disorientation, which led to an "abnormal attitude."

The aircraft did not respond to multiple calls from air traffic control after initiating the missed approach, suggesting the pilots were under a heavy workload managing the aircraft. Two images of the aircraft from different cameras moments before the crash show the aircraft at 35° (± 5°) and 22.4° dive angles. The report notes that "the aircraft could only have reached such speed and fly that trajectory[] if it had climbed considerably" after entering the clouds and that, in normal conditions, the pilots would not have deliberately placed the aircraft in such a steep dive.

Of fracture surfaces examined, none showed signs of fatigue but were caused by stress overload at the moment of impact. There was no abnormality with engine function in the moments before the crash and no evidence of failure of any aircraft system.

It also emerged that the on-board cockpit voice recorder did not record any of the conversations during the flight before it crashed. Unlike bigger airplanes, the Citation Excel was not required by regulations to have a flight data recorder.

text:
José Eduardo Paulino dos Santos (born September 28, 1984), also known by his stage name Coréon Dú, is a multilingual Angolan recording artist, creative director, designer, screenwriter and producer. He is known for his distinct Angolan musical style, fashion choices and his contributions to projects inspired by Angolan Pop culture in music, dance, fashion, TV and films.

Among his works are projects such as the writing and production of Seoul International Drama Award-winning and International Emmy-nominated series Jikulumessu, the International Emmy-nominated telenovela, Windeck, the I Love Kuduro documentary, as well as his current work popularizing Angolan-inspired projects through his independent entertainment company Da Banda.

Biography

Early life
Coréon Dú was born in Luanda, Angola, to Jose Eduardo dos Santos, former President of Angola, and Maria Luisa Perdigão Abrantes, a lawyer. He spent the first years of his childhood in Luanda, Angola. A few years after his parents' separation, Coréon moved to Lisbon, Portugal and began living with his maternal grandparents at the age of 8. Coréon later moved to the U.S. to be educated. At the age of 11 he moved with his mother to Northern Virginia near Washington D.C..  While in middle school, he began to pursue singing. During high school he became a soloist in the school choir, and developed a keen interest in musical theatre. Coréon continued to perform in choirs during his time at Loyola University, and went on to earn a BA in mass communications. In 2010 he pursued a master's degree in Dance Theatre: The Body in Performance from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London.

Coréon Dú comes from a musical family. His grandfather's cousin, Liceu Vieira Dias was a founding member of Ngola Ritmos. His uncle, musician Carlitos Vieira Dias played a role in introducing Coreon to Filipe Mukenga and Filipe Zau, two of Angola's most iconic composers.
They wrote Serpente and Ilha, respectively, which became one of Coreon's biggest songs to date.

Liceu's nephew, André Mingas was also a guiding force as he wrote Lemba, which was well received in Angola.His father's first cousin, Beto Gourgel, was one of Angola's most well known comedians & musicians. His son, Kizua Gourgel, is also a successful singer-songwriter from Angola.
In the early 2000s, his first public performances happened with Kizua's band, during some of his cousin's gigs in Luanda nightclubs.

Coréon Dú grew up in a religiously diverse environment. His mother is Catholic, his stepfather was Muslim and his father's family is primarily Methodist. Coréon identifies as Catholic and was educated in Catholic schools from the end of elementary school to university.

Personal life and relatives
Coréon Dú is an openly gay man, which tabloids speculated about through his social media postings.

Coréon's father is Jose Eduardo dos Santos, who ruled Angola as a dictator from 1979 to 2017. His siblings include Isabel dos Santos and José Filomeno dos Santos.

He has several relatives in the world of music, such as Liceu Vieira Dias, Beto Gourgel, Carlitos Vieira Dias, André Mingas, and Kizua Gourgel.

His maternal first cousins Glen Abrantes and Emanuel Abrantes are models based in London.

His step-cousin Sharam Diniz is a Portuguese-Angolan model and entrepreneur who was the first model originating from either Angola or Portugal to walk for Victoria's Secret annual fashion show.

Name changes

When Coréon started his professional career in 2001 he was known professionally as his childhood nickname Zé Dú, using "Zé Dú dos Santos" as his professional name.  He later changed his name to avoid political connotations associated with his work and name, as the same nickname was used to refer to his father Jose Eduardo dos Santos.

Before the release of his first album in 2010 he briefly used the José, and his full last name Paulino dos Santos dropping Eduardo from his first name. Since 2010 he has been using the name Coréon Dú exclusively in most of his professional and artistic work.

Prior to the 1992 Angolan election, very few people used the name "Zé Dú" to refer to José Eduardo dos Santos (Coréon Dú's father, and second president of Angola). Election campaign marketers popularized this name since then and this branding of the name "Zé Dú" associated with the elder Dos Santos has become a part of pop culture, especially after Angola's peace accord in 2002.

Coréon Dú has established himself as somewhat of an independent thinker focused on arts, empowering young Angolans with creative talent, as well as creating visibility opportunities for LGBTQ professionals locally and regionally.   The "black sheep" of the dos Santos family is often considered politically incorrect by the status quo. His lack of desire to associate himself with politics led to his name change, and he remains politically neutral.

Coréon refuses to publicly endorse anything political as seen in his social media, public statements, and most public appearances.

Career
Inspired by his trip to the Huíla province of Angola in 2000 during his summer holidays, Coréon started designing clothing using the local Samakaka print and other African inspired textiles. These designs, mainly worn by friends and family, started generating buzz in Luanda and led to the start of his first business venture Z|E Designs with his cousin Emilia Abrantes in 2001. Z|E Designs presented collections in the inaugural Angola Fashion Week in 2001, as well as other local events such as the Moda Luanda Fashion Awards.  Another notable participation, as a costume designer, includes the stage play, Jato de Sangue, which featured Brazilian actor Sergio Menezes and Angolan teen TV series Sede de Viver.

On returning to Angola in 2006, Coréon Dú started Semba Comunicação as a boutique branding and communications agency. Over time Semba has evolved into one of Angola's premier content production companies in the Angolan market through projects such as Bounce and Windeck. Windeck premiered in Angola in August 2013 and then went on to record ratings in Portugal's RTP 1 channel afternoon primetime slot. Having been nominated for the best Telenovela at the 2013 International Emmy Awards, it is expanding into the international market with translations into English and French.

Another production is the documentary I Love Kuduro, named after a festival he hosts. This documentary follows stars of this urban phenomenon, including appearances from trans performer and advocate Titica, Nagrelha, Eduardo Paim e Cabo Snoop.

As a musician, he released his debut album, The Coréon Experiment, in 2010. The album was produced by Latin Grammy-winning Brazilian producer Luiz Brasil. Among the album's contributors include musicians such as Luciana Abreu, Irina, Jeff Brown, and Heavy C.

After the album was released, he performed at several events including the XXIX Madrid Jazz Festival where he displayed influence from Semba, Pop, Funk, Bossa Nova, Rock, Kuduro and Kizomba.

In 2013 Coréon celebrated his fan club, WeDú – The Coréon Dú Creative Community with a commemorative remix album "The WeDú Experiment", which features remixes and original material produced in collaboration with Phil Asher, DJ Satellite, DJ Spooky, Daniel Haaksman, Simmons Massini, DJ Manya, Luiz Brasil, Jerry Charbonnier, Lenni Sez and Nuno Mendes.  This project was accompanied by a series of conceptual music videos shot using natural and urban landscapes from his home country and some avant-garde that gained a positive response from both fans and critics.

Coréon's second album's first single "Bailando Kizomba" was released in February 2014 and remained within the top 30 positions of the Billboard Latin Charts from the Spring of 2014 to the Fall of 2014.

Fashion
After a hiatus since 2007, Coréon Dú has made his return to fashion design with the release of his label "WeDú by Coréon Dú". Though the line has been carried in Angola, Namibia and other select African territories, its premiere outside of Africa happened in the Spring/Summer 2016 edition of New York Fashion Week at the Nylon Magazine official fashion week party on September 10, 2015.  According to the artist's recent interviews, WeDú's main objective is to provide comfort and allow each individual to express his or her own creativity in the everyday through how they wear it.

WeDú started as the artists show and appearance merchandise inspired by some of the fans' favorite Coréon Dú stage and street style looks.  In 2013 it started being carried as fashion line by an Angolan retailer with shops in Angola and Namibia.

Coréon Dú's model scouting efforts have also led to great success He is a regular contributor as judge of Elite Model Look contests in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde & South Africa.

Through Coréon's scouting efforts he found Amilna Estêvão, the first African model in 30 years to be in Elite Model Look World Final top 3.

Activism
Coréon is also involved in activism and advocates for a variety social causes. Among his efforts is the 2009 documentary series Delinquência? Eu Estou Fora!, aimed at raising awareness juvenile delinquency in Angola, its causes, and alternatives. This was a follow up to the Droga Diga Não ("Drugs – Just Say NO")
 project in which he toured the country on speaking engagements to educate and motivate youth groups and local institutions to be more engaged on the issue. He also helped organize free concerts attended by more than 40,000 people at a time. In an effort to advocate for gender equality, he established the Divas Angola Awards in 2007 to celebrate the achievements of women in business, education, fashion, sports, music and philanthropy. Notable international artists such as Latin legend Juan Luis Guerra, the award-winning Adriana Calcanhotto, and Paula Lima have performed past editions of the event in support of the cause of gender equality.

For over a decade he participated in work that had LGBTQ representation and aesthetics, such as his work as costume designer / stylist for the 2004–2005 youth telenovela "Sede de Viver", with script written by acclaimed author Ondjaki, which had the first ever openly gay character on Angolan television played by actor-comedian Kitengo Kunga, and some of his later body of work in both the social and commercial sphere.

Coréon's was also the first production of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues in Angola.

In 2008, he produced a sex education program called Sexolândia (Sexland), hosted by singer/model/actress Tatiana Durão, which was considered the first program of its kind to be broadcast on Angolan TV. And since its premiere that same year, the educational space caused said conservatives to complain and also criticize that the program was perverting the minds of young people, although it was still popular and because it and also in most cases was politically incorrect. Health professionals such as psychologists and other experts were invited on the show, who would answer questions in the studio for interaction, and on the street, public figures who shared personal life histories on a wide range of topics of this
valuable world of human sexuality: relationships, infertility, pregnancies, abuses, sex toys, prostitution, pornography, "STD" prevention advices, etc.

Since then Coréon Dú has tried to integrate his interest in pro-youth and cultural activism dynamically into his work. He developed |Bounce which is a contest to allow further study and apprenticeship opportunities to disadvantaged youths with dance talent. in 2008, Bounce started being broadcast on local television which has given opportunities for talented young individuals to study dance with dance companies and dance centers in Portugal, the United States and Brazil. The most recent edition of Bounce was held in 2013. The contest has produced some of the biggest dance related celebrities in Angolan pop culture including dancer/choreographer Manuel Kanza who has been teaching kuduro, afrobeat and hip hop classes all over the world. Dance troupe turned girl band As Afrikanas are also among notable Bounce alumni, as well as Felix Alvarez a Cuban refugee who was a finalist in the first season of Bounce and has become one of the most sought after dancers / choreographers in Angola. Success stories from Bounce are also gaining international prominence as two young Angolan dancers who earned scholarship prizes from the contest are performing on international stages.  Geovany Carvalho performed in the 2016 Summer Olympics opening in Rio de Janeiro where he currently works as a dance instructor.  Dilo Paulo has also relocated to Brazil where he is performing and touring with the prestigious Debora Colker contemporary dance company.

Semba was also at the time the only production company that did not censor Angolan superstar Titica from their programming after she was banned from most local media and events for publicly revealing that she was a transsexual person and not born a biological woman. She was also prominently featured in Coréon Dú's I Love Kuduro Festival in Angola, Berlin and in Rio de Janeiro, as well as the eponymous documentary, which has helped her ascend into international success and further visibility to her commercial and non-profit efforts. After this period and international success many local media outlets allowed Titica to showcase her projects on their airwaves. However, in 2019 the artist announced on her social media that Angola's public broadcasters had once again forbidden her from being in any of their programmes, because she a transsexual woman

Model scouting and talent mentoring

Coréon Dú's eye for talent and mentoring skills have been recognized in his homeland of Angola, but have recently started grabbing international attention.

His model scouting efforts have also led to launching careers of some of the most recognizable African models within the fashion industry including Maria Borges, Amilna Estevão, Alécia Morais, Blesnya Minher and Roberta Narciso.  This began in 2009 when he was invited by Elite Model Management in Paris to be scout for models to introduce to their network of bookers and agencies at the Elite Model Look World Final in 2010. He scouted and held local editions of the contest in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, & South Africa until 2013.

During that time, he founded Da Banda Model Management in which he scouted and coached African models to provide with the knowledge and tools to strive within the international market, as well as introducing them to modelling agencies and casting directors internationally as their mother agency.  Da Banda, a part of the Semba Comunicação Group, was also responsible for organizing the Elite Model Look Contests in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, and South Africa.

Coréon's scouting and mentoring efforts yielded results from the start with one of his first discoveries being Roberta Narciso who became a finalist in the Elite Model Look World Final and made her debut January 2011 at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week at the Valentino show. She then made history becoming one of the first few Black models to have been in a Prada runway show in Milan which made international headlines and was seen by some fashion insiders as an opening of doors for more models of color to work for international fashion brands who primarily cast Caucasian models.

Maria Borges was also scouted and trained by Coréon and his team at the same time. Though she did not win the 2010 Elite Model Look Angola contest, she has become its most successful alumna. In 2011 she moved to Lisbon, Portugal where she became a favorite model of several local designers and editorial creatives before she was hand-picked by Riccardo Tisci for an exclusive deal with Givenchy which catapulted her into international stardom.  Since then Maria has cemented her career as one of a new generation of top international supermodels with a record number of participations in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, countless international campaigns and covers and a coveted brand ambassadorship with Riccardo Tisci.

In 2011 he discovered Alécia Morais in Cape Verde who made her debut at the last Paris Fashion Week show for Louis Vuitton with Marc Jacobs as creative director and who is still one of the most visible young Cape Verdean female models in the industry with participations in numerous international runways and campaigns for the likes of Chanel, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, H&M Victoria's Secret Pink, and many more.

Angolan Amilna Estevão scouted at the age of 14 in Angola, became the first Black model in 30 years to be in Elite Model Look World Final top 3 at the contest's World final in 2013 after having participated in the Angolan version of the contest. Amilna became a rising star from her first steps in fashion and continues to work steadily in fashion doing campaigns for brands such as Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo, MAC Cosmetics, The GAP and many more. Elite Model Look Angola 2013 was also the last produced by Coréon Dú who continues scouting for models, but parted ways with the contest.

Coréon's most recent discovery Blésnya Minher, from the Lunda Norte province of Angola, has given strong first steps in the fashion world debuting her career in style landing the Spring/Summer 2017 campaign with Valentino followed by an exclusive contract with Calvin Klein which ended spring of 2018.  She has since been in campaigns for Versace COACH, and announced an exclusive deal with Louis Vuitton for its Spring/Summer 2019 season.

Some other notable modeling talents scouted and represented by Coréon Dú's Da Banda Model Management include model & influencer Rethabile 'Retha' Lethoko from South Africa, Angolan newcomer Sompa Antonnio, Portuguese-Angolan model Elsa Baldaia, Portuguese-Cape Verdean model Claudia Morais, South African model Bianca Rentzke, and Cheikh Mbunga who was recently one of the faces of the Coca-Cola Africa campaign.

Outside of the modeling world, Coréon's mentoring and coaching talents have been notable in the market for quite some time. He's become known as somewhat of a star maker in Angola for his ability to take unknown talents from obscurity into stardom but also for transforming working professionals into stars.  Such was the case with model turned actor Freddy Costa who had been working as model and occasional soap opera actor in Angola until he started working closely with and being mentored by Coréon Dú in 2009. The two collaborated professionally in 2004 when Coréon was working in the wardrobe department of soap opera Sede de Viver and in previous local fashion weeks in Angola. However, in 2009, Costa started working closely with Coréon having been the star of his first fictional short film Momentos de Gloria and later in his first international production Voo Directo for RTP. He continued to participate in the various actors' workshops and coaching sessions Coréon Dú organized at Semba Comunicação and his international career continued to take off after his roles in the International Emmy nominated Windeck and Jikulumessu. Through his role as production consultant for Portuguese telenovela A Unica Mulher for Prisa owned Portuguese TV channel Televisão Independente, Costa was able to audition and land a role in the show which has led him to many more opportunities in the Portuguese market where he has become one of the most sought-after leading men.  After his participation in Coréon's productions especially Windeck and Jikulumessu he has also participated in productions in Brazil, Nigeria and has made appearances all over Africa.

Similarly Coréon has also been credited with mentoring Micaela Reis. The former Miss World Africa and Miss World runner up was motivated to start her acting career when Coréon invited her to audition for RTP's Voo Directo. Her very first acting role surprised critics in Angola who often discriminated her talents due to her beauty pageant curriculum. Her role in Coréon Dú's Windeck has made her a star all over Africa and the African diaspora where she often is called "Africa's favorite villain" for her role as Victoria Kajibanga the main villain of the show. She also participated in several Angolan and Portuguese theater productions before pursuing a bachelor's degree in acting and film-making at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles and currently stars in the Portuguese FOX affiliate Mundo FOX series Maison Afrochic produced her Windeck colleagues Freddy Costa and Portuguese actress Grace Mendes .

Lesliana Pereira is another actor that credits Coréon and his team's guidance with being instrumental to her professional growth.  After having won Miss Angola, she hosted a slew of infotainment programs. However, Pereira strived for more. She was asked to audition for Coréon's production of the historical drama Njinga: Queen Of Angola (Njinga – Njinga: Rainha de Angola). According to an anecdote by the actress, Coréon challenged her to start preparing for the role by removing her hair extensions and stop relaxing her hair which she claims was a shock at first, but really allowed her to connect with the essence of the character on a deeper level even before the production team provided her with additional acting coaching and training for the stunts and combat choreography she needed to perform as Queen Njinnga Mbandi. In addition to having done a cameo appearance at Coréon's Jikulumessu, Lesliana Pereira has since then appeared in productions by Brazil's telenovela juggernaut Rede Globo. She has also been working as both host and producer on local Angolan television shows.

Coréon Dú's mentoring work has also been recognized by numerous local young TV professionals froberts, local dance and music artists in Angola who have participated in his various projects including Bounce, I Love Kuduro, Angola Encanta, Eu Na TV and others whose careers he has launched, many of whom still consider him a trusted professional advisor.

Criticism and controversies

Nepotism
Coréon with his sister Welwitschia José dos Santos Pego (Tchizé) co-owns Semba Comunicação, a state-subsidized private company widely involved in Angolan media. Semba produced satellite broadcasting, drama and magazines with it being described as mostly working to prop-up the party their father belonged to, MPLA. Their mother Maria Luìsa Abrantes is also thought to be a shareholder in Semba.

Semba produces most of the content for the youth-focused TPA 2 which is one of the two state-owned channels. TPA 2 was run by his sister Tchizé. Through secret contracts worth tens of millions of dollars paid for by the Angolan government's private investment promotion agency which was headed by Coréon's mother, Semba carried out promotional campaigns abroad. The Ofﬁce for the Revitalisation and Execution of the Administration’s Institutional Communications and Marketing sub-contracted the entirety of its responsibilities to Semba through opaque contracts.

Such involvement of his and his family has drawn charges of nepotism. The director of the Angolan office of the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa criticized this: "This family has taken Angola hostage and turned it into its own private business empire" while NPR described it as "a family affair".

Coréon has claimed he faced obstacles in his career due to being the son of the president, with his music not being played because of political reasons.

LGBT representation in his works

He has also come under fire by Angolan media religious groups and political groups for the inclusion of LGBT talent and issues in the TV shows produced by Semba Comunicação, including openly gay presenters such as Hady Lima (who started his career presenting as a gay male, but has recently shared her gender identity as a trans-woman).

Windeck, the soap series written and produced by Coréon, has had some similar issues due to well-known actors, such as leading man Freddy Costa and Borges Macula, playing gays characters.

This controversy was reignited after a brief kiss between two of the male characters of Semba Comunicação's soap opera Jikulumessu on January 28, 2015.  As series creator Coréon Dú and production company Semba came under fire, being accused by religious groups, conservative politicians on all sides and conservative local press alleging he was trying to "corrupt moral values", as well as "promote" and "expand" "deviant behaviours " and "homosexual behaviours" in Angola and especially among young viewers. On February 2, 2015, the show's broadcaster in TPA (Televisão Pública de Angola) suspended the show's broadcast at 9 pm its TPA 1 channel alleging "technical difficulties". In a public statement posted on the show's Facebook page and sent to the press services in Angola, Semba Communication stated that the intent of the show in portraying seriously sensitive social issues, such as Polygamy, drug use, sexual violence, as well as LGBT issues, including violence against people and same-sex relationships, and committing suicide in the LGBT communities.

Semba offered the ability to edit the scene so that it did not clash with the views and values of its customers' audiences. While conservative viewers celebrated it, fans of the show expressed their displeasure especially through social media. This incident became headline news nationally and caught the attention of international media outlets. On February 5, 2015, TPA returned Jikulumessu to the air after fans pleas for its return. Despite this politically motivated censorship of Coréon Dú's work, Jikulumessu has become one of the most beloved television shows amongst many African viewers in the continent and in the diaspora having been broadcast in Portuguese, French and English Languages in many regional broadcasters and in France on France Televisions and Canal+, among others.

Political controversies

In recent international media interviews Coréon Dú has mentioned his choice to no longer live in Angola full-time since 2014 and indefinitely leaving his home-country in 2017 due to being a target of a growing institutionalized homophobia and increasing political intolerance. When interviewed in 2019, by Portugal's National News Agency LUSA, about new Angolan laws decriminalizing "Acts against nature" as being synonymous with decriminalizing LGBTQ+ relationships, he cautioned that these regulatory changes seemed vague and may have been publicity driven to appeal to Angola's vast young electorate of voters. However further real regulatory and social education initiatives were needed.  Within the same year, 2019, popular musician and LGBTQ+ rights advocate Titica announced publicly that Angola's public government-owned broadcaster TPA has forbidden her from being on any of their television programs because she is a transsexual person.

Between 2017 and the present the election of Angola's new president, the new leader of the country and former vice president of the ruling party MPLA have started a veritable witch hunt against anyone with the "dos Santos" last name including campaigns of public intimidation campaigns and now attempting to jail his older siblings who served in public companies. Despite Coréon Dú's father being a historic member of the party in question, the new leader of the country and MPLA have been running a large campaign against all the dos Santos family, including Coréon Dú. Angola's leadership have vehemently denied any witch-hunts in all public press releases locally and internationally, however their actions consistently prove otherwise.  Following the new government's very public decision to end the content production and brand consulting agreements between public station TPA with Coréon's company Semba Comunicação, they invoked several false and contractually inaccurate allegations. The main allegations were that the channels were returning to the "public ownership" when they were always publicly owned and only using Semba's services. Semba never owned any of the three TPA channels, and has had to clarify for many years its position as a service provider.

After public dismay of the new programming and cancellation of some favourite television shows in January 2018 the Angolan Government's new leadership tried to save face and approval ratings by throwing Coréon and his company under the bus. The company responded with a public statement clarifying its role and even how much it was earning for its content services in comparison to the publicly published yearly national television budget (Semba produced most of the entertainment and promotional content for two of the three TPA channels reportedly charging under fees approximating only one-fifth of the budget spent on the main TPA channel). To excuse their poor image quality and the embarrassment of being exposed the new government used all the national public media to announce that Semba had stolen the HD equipment previously used to make TPA's channel 2 and international channel programming, however many well known employees of the channel have all throughout the year posed and posted pictures boasting about exactly the same HD equipment having always been in TPA's studios and currently in use. To which the station and Ministry of Social Communication of the country then made a public statement with the excuse that the lack of image quality was due to a temporary technical difficulty that was soon to be resolved. They alleged using a series of news stories and social media fake news campaigns that companies allegedly linked to Coréon were receiving large sums of money to produce content for TPA, while for years there has been public knowledge of TPA's history of late or non-payments to Semba and many of its private sector vendors. There was even recent controversy involving the administration admitting that due to lower ratings they would need to rehire Semba's former talent/ employees due to significantly lowered ratings after all Semba-produced content was taken off the TPA airwaves. This was followed by some protests by TPA employees claiming the decision to publicly shame the company and associated talent and then rehire talent individually has put the station in the position where they are now paying very expensive reparations to get that talent back.

A year passed (on January 1, 2019) after Semba's content was taken off the air by their former client, a new market study has shown that TPA2 had dropped from being in a leading position amongst viewers in primetime slots to now being one of least viewed according to the market study reflecting the last quarter of 2018. And years ago, when Coréon company, Semba Comunicação, currently the former customer and shareholder of the two TPA channels until 2018, did not even present reports and accounts and salaries for TV presenters, workers and employees. The same information says that when shareholder of the station's two channels was generated by some   Angolans and foreigners (expatriates from Portugal).

In addition, the party in power has continued a very intense campaign now also using the famous micro-targeting and social media trolls  trying to provoke the more right-wing conservative and religious homophobic population  to turn against Coréon by generating various blog and social media troll campaigns targeting Coréon's sexuality   and even having spread a rumor that Coréon was to wed a same-sex partner in Angola (where same sex-unions are still illegal) in the year of 2018.  This is not a new campaign, as members of the ruling party of Angola similarly attempted to prove conservative public opinions against Coréon Dú and his company for several years due to his open support and inclusion of women's issues and LGBT issues in his work. A noteworthy case was the telenovela Jikulumessu which was pulled off the air by command of high-ranking government officials on the public broadcaster due to their non-negative portrayal of same sex relationships and of "sexually liberated " female characters (also seen in a past censored incident when the presenter of sex education TV show Sexolândia (Sexland) was refused membership of the ruling political party. Some infer that this move was not only to attempt to denigrate Dú's image amongst the more conservative population, but also due to fear that especially the LGBT community would start to organize socially to advocate more aggressively for their civil rights.  This move by government officials failed, as TV viewers and social groups massively protested the decision to take the show off the air, and that move motivated LGBT activists who have become more vocal and active since that time.

On April 19, 2021, the developments in Coréon Dú were once again the target of government censorship, once again claiming "technical" issues. In the same, an official press release from Angola's Ministry of Media and Telecommunications ordered that, by midnight of April 21, 2021, all local and regional pay-TV services stop broadcasting VIDA TV, which broadcasts a large amount of content licensed and/or produced by Coréon Dú's production team, including several popular entertainment formats created by Coréon himself, such as Tchilar, Bodas, Hora Quente, Flash Sempre a Subir, etc. and also the TV version of the I Love Kuduro Festival. Pay-TV operators are still waiting for clarification as to why this occurred and if they will be able to broadcast this content again in Angola. Pay TV operators are still awaiting clarification as to why this occurred and if they will be able to broadcast this content again in Angola. And this caused that in late 2017, the same Angolan government ministry also ordered the termination of contracts they had from the two and three channels of the state television, TPA.
This measure was also announced on air via the state television station by a government official on behalf of the Ministry of Media and Telecommunication alleging that a group of media outlets naming    VIDA TV  specifically and alluding to others  as other TV, radio, digital and print media which would be forbidden from continuing their activity due to  a lack of proper paperwork. This measure was denounced by the Angolan  Journalists Union (Sindicatos dos Jornalistas Angolanos) as well as local activists and public figures   as an act of censorship with the intention to silence freedom of press    and enterprise for media not owned or controlled by people connected to government or people in their sphere of influence as in the past three years the largest Angolan private media has been taken into government control.

Part of this campaign also involved building a narrative of character assassination by spreading wide speculation of involvement in allegedly shady business dealings without ever showing any proof. A recent news story "leaked" to Angolan media outlets alleged that Coréon was involved in some sort of unusual agreement with a well-known Angolan businessman to help him set a bank using his "influence", however in a later official interview to a local newspaper the same business owner stated he has never been involved in any business dealings with Coréon Dú and that he has never been his business partner despite having met Dú in person.
In recent reports Coréon Dú's mother, Maria Luisa Perdigão Abrantes, when asked about the political witch-hunts against her children has mentioned in several media interviews that similar political witch-hunts are nothing new, as she herself was targeted by people and institutions linked to the MPLA party for several decades and in recent years, despite having been a supporter of their cause during the anti-colonial liberation movement prior to the independence in 1975.  As a result, she has reportedly identified as politically independent since around the 1980s and even supported a newfound opposition party, PRD, when Angola had its first democratic elections in 1992.

title: Shropshire (Detached)

text:
Between the late 11th century and 1844, the English county of Shropshire (or Salop) possessed a large exclave within the present-day Black Country and surrounding area. This territory was gained from neighbouring Worcestershire, and the exclave's border corresponded with the medieval Manor of Hala (or Halas, Hales). Shropshire (Detached) contained the townships of (what are now known as) Halesowen, Oldbury, Warley Salop, Ridgacre, Hunnington, Romsley and Langley. The exceptions were Cradley, Lutley and Warley Wigorn, which were exclaves or enclaves still aligned with the original county. Bounded entirely by Staffordshire and Worcestershire, Hala was part of Brimstree hundred, and totally detached from the rest of Shropshire. Bridgnorth, the nearest town within the main body of Shropshire, is 16.8 miles (27.03 km) away from Halesowen, whilst the county town of Shrewsbury is 34.6 miles (55.62 km) away.

In 1844, following enactment of the Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844, Shropshire (Detached) was reunited with Worcestershire and remained within the original county until 1974. Halesowen and Oldbury are currently part of the metropolitan County of West Midlands,

History

Prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, the Manor of Hala formed a northerly arm of the fledgling county of Worcestershire, within the hundred of Clent. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, the manor was listed as under the control of Roger de Montgomerie, first Earl of Shrewsbury and his ally 'Roger the Huntsman', although integration into Shropshire had not yet taken place. The Domesday Book also states that the Earl had an estate within the Manor, with "four ploughs at work on his home farm and 36 tenant farmers cultivating the remaining land with 41 ploughs between them. He also had a separate estate in Halesowen, leased to Roger the Huntsman, who had one plough on his own farm and six sub-tenants employing five more ploughs" As a close ally of the King, the Earl of Shrewsbury was granted most of Hala by William the Conqueror,
although the remainder of the land was gifted to others, such as Ansculf de Picquigny (his son William Fitz-Ansculf inherited the land). De Picquigny was a French baron who became Sheriff of Buckinghamshire and founded the Barony of Dudley to administrate his lands across eleven counties of England. Warley was divided into two; the Barony of Dudley's lands were known as Warley Wigorn (Warley Worcestershire) and remained in Worcestershire, whilst Earl Roger's segments became integrated into Shropshire, known as Warley Salop (Warley Shropshire).

Cradley was also a possession of the Barony of Dudley and thus remained in its original county, along with the hamlet of Lutley which was held by the Canons of Wolverhampton.

The Shropshire territories of the Manor remained in the hands of Earl Roger's descendants until 1102, when Robert de Belesme led an unsuccessful rebellion against Henry I and Hala was confiscated by the Crown as a consequence. Henry II gave the Manor to his half-sister Emma who had married Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd in 1174. She restored it to Richard I, although her son Owen still had claims on it. The Manor's name was altered to Hales Owen in the 1270s.

Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844
The Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 was an Act of Parliament which abolished many of the exclaves of counties in England and Wales for civil purposes. The precursor to this legislation was the Reform Act 1832 and Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1832, which redefined the boundaries for Members of Parliament. These acts changed the status of many exclaves and enclaves, thus starting the process of incorporating these 'outliers' into their surrounding county. Halesowen was to be incorporated into Worcestershire for Parliamentary purposes, although the  Justices of the Peace of Shropshire still held jurisdiction until 1844. The Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 placed all of what was the medieval Halesowen parish back into Worcestershire, under the 'Lower' division of Halfshire hundred. Warley Wigorn was unified with Warley Salop to form the new parish of Warley in 1884.

Modern local government era
In 1889; Halesowen and Oldbury formed part of the new administrative county of Worcester, due to enactment of the Local Government Act 1888. The county retained Halesowen (and Oldbury through the County Borough of Warley) until adoption of the Local Government Act 1972, which established the Metropolitan County of West Midlands in April 1974. Dudley County Borough along with Stourbridge and Halesowen formed Dudley Metropolitan District (later to become Dudley Metropolitan Borough), whilst Warley County Borough merged with West Bromwich to create Sandwell. The 'top tier' West Midlands County Council was abolished in April 1986 via enactment of the Local Government Act 1985. Romsley, Hunnington and Frankley are part of the administrative Worcestershire, within the Bromsgrove District.

title: Gabrielle Belz

text:
Gabrielle T. Belz is an Australian molecular immunologist and viral immunologist. She is a faculty member of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, within the Molecular Immunology division. Belz has made important contributions to the understanding of immune system function, especially in relation to the molecular and cellular signalling pathways of immune response to viruses. Her research has focused on understanding the signals that drive the initial development of protective immunity against pathogen infections, such as influenza and herpes viruses. This includes research into how cytotoxic T cells (a type of T lymphocyte that destroys virally infected cells and tumor cells) recognise and remove virally-infected cells from the body following infection. Research into the description of the specific factors and response during infection will contribute towards the long-term development of vaccines for infectious disease, and the development of better treatments for autoimmune diseases.

Education
Belz trained as a veterinarian and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Queensland graduating with a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology in 1990, then a Bachelor of Veterinary Science with First Class Honours in 1993. She completed a PhD in 1997 at the University of Queensland. Following her PhD, she took up a Postdoctoral Fellowship in viral immunology with Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, USA. She returned to Australia to take up a position with the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in 2000. In 2010, she received a Doctor of Veterinary Science from the University of Queensland.

Belz was Editor-of-Chief of Immunology and Cell Biology until 2016, and was subsequently a Deputy Editor of the journal for several years.
She is currently a Deputy Editor for the Journal of Immunology.

Awards
In 2007 Belz was awarded the Burnet Prize (recognising the Australian virologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet) for her research into how dendritic cells and cytotoxic T cells work together to defend the body from viral infections.

In 2008, Belz was awarded the Gottschalk Medal by the Australian Academy of Science for her contribution to a series of pioneering discoveries illuminating how the immune system deals with viruses. The same year, she got awarded with the Viertel Senior Medical Research Fellowship.

In 2012, Belz was awarded the NHMRC Elizabeth Blackburn Fellowships award (recognising the Australian-American biological researcher and Nobel Laureate, Professor Elizabeth Blackburn). In 2018 she was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences.

title: Belle Johnson

text:
Belle Johnson (August 4, 1864 – July 19, 1945) was an American photographer, active primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Described as "eccentric, independent and unorthodox," Johnson was a charter member of the Federation of Women Photographers, and has been inducted into the Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame.  Her work, which included character studies, photographs of animals (especially cats), and still lifes, won numerous awards and frequently appeared in contemporary photography journals in the early 1900s.

Life

Johnson was born in Mendota, Illinois, to George C. Johnson, a successful farmer, and his wife, Hanna.  She attended Saint Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana, from 1882 to 1884, graduating at the top of her class.  Afterward, she worked as a teacher, but found it unfulfilling.

While spending the summer with her sister, Mary Walker, in Monroe City, Missouri, in 1890, Johnson answered a newspaper ad for an assistant at Rippey's photography studio.  After just three weeks on the job, she bought the studio, with the understanding that the previous owner would stay on for a year to teach her the trade. He stayed for only six months, however, providing such scant instruction that Johnson later recalled that she had welcomed his departure.  She subsequently learned primarily from photography magazines.

Johnson was a charter member of the Photographers' Association of Missouri in 1894.  At the group's statewide convention that year, Johnson's photographs won third place out of thirty-five entries, and missed first place by a narrow margin.  In 1899, she won a gold medal at the Association's state convention, and was elected the group's treasurer.  After a fire destroyed her studio that same year, she worked briefly in a photography studio established by local cigar maker, C.S. Robertshaw.  By 1901 she was again advertising under her own name.  In 1902, she opened an elaborate new studio on the floor above the jewelry store of her brother-in-law, R. Manning Walker.

In 1904, Johnson photographed the St. Louis World's Fair for a booklet distributed by the Missouri State Commission.  In 1906, she was one of twenty-five photographers (and the only woman) invited to exhibit at the Photographers' Association of America's annual convention at Niagara Falls.  She exhibited again at the PAA's Dayton convention the following year.  Johnson was a member of the Missouri delegation at the PAA convention in Rochester in 1909, and was elected the first vice president of the PAA's Federation of Women Photographers.  Her work was displayed at the National Photographers' Exhibition in Toronto in 1910, and received praise at the PAA's Art Exhibit in 1913.

Johnson frequently traveled to stay up-to-date on the latest photography techniques.  In 1913, she attended the Eastman Photographic School in Illinois, and began advertising Kodak printing services that same year.  She won third prize in the 1913 Kodak Advertising Competition.

In the early 1910s, Johnson made plans to establish a new studio in Pittsburg, Missouri, in partnership with Roy Moose, though these plans never materialized.  By 1914, Johnson had won over 30 gold and silver medals in various photographic competitions.  She was a member of the Missouri delegation at the PAA's Milwaukee convention in 1920, and three of her photos were displayed at the PAA'S 1930 convention.  Among her last published works were photographs of local soldiers preparing to depart to fight in World War II in the early 1940s.  She died in her studio on July 19, 1945.  Businesses in Monroe City closed on the day of her funeral.

Works

Historian Dean Howd noted that while Johnson earned money by taking individual and family portraits, she also created a "unique body of creative studio portraits and studies."  She initially specialized in cabinet cards produced using the "Aristo" process (which rendered the photos less likely to fade than albumen prints).  She later advertised penny pictures, photo buttons, and post cards.  In 1912, she began using a Graflex camera equipped with an Eastern Optical lens.  Throughout the early 1900s, Johnson worked with an assistant, Julia McClintic, who did much of the studio's retouching, and managed the studio in Johnson's absence.

Johnson's favorite subjects included animals (especially cats), flowers, and character studies.  Howd notes that her photographs were "carefully staged and controlled in terms of light," and that her subjects appear relaxed and natural.  She received considerable praise from contemporaries for her cat photos, especially for her ability to get cats to pose in various ways. Johnson's best-known photograph, Three Women, has appeared in numerous publications, including  Naomi Rosenblum's A History of Women Photographers.  According to Rosenblum, the photo suggests that Johnson either "could rise above the conventional poses demanded by small-town clients," or that "her sitters were not as orthodox as one might suppose."

Johnson's studio, built in 1902, featured a  by  operating room equipped with props and a large skylight.  The adjacent reception room had a polished red oak floor and walls adorned with thick green curtains and Johnson's photography.  The studio's darkroom utilized porcelain tubs, and was lit by a single pane of red glass.  Johnson frequently hosted club meetings and other events at the studio.

Most of Johnson's negatives were lost when her studio was dismantled following her death.  The Massillon Museum in Massillon, Ohio, holds a collection of 160 photographs Johnson had sent to her friend, William K. Bennett, just before she died.  The State Historical Society of Missouri also maintains a small collection of her photographs.

title: Zak Surety

text:
Zak Surety (born 4 October 1991) is an English professional snooker player. He practises frequently with Stuart Bingham and Allan Taylor.

Career
As an amateur, Surety based in Basildon entered in Players Tour Championship events from their establishment in 2010, with his best result as an amateur being a run to the last 32 stages of the 2012 UKPTC 3, with wins over Jack Lisowski and Oliver Lines in the main stages. Surety also entered Q School in 2011, 2012 and 2013 in the hope of winning a place on the main tour; however, he was unsuccessful, but came close in the second event in 2013, losing 4–1 to Ryan Clark in the final stage. His Q School performances however won him a top up place in four professional ranking events in 2013–14, but he failed to qualify for all four, winning only one match, 5–4 over Patrick Einsle in the 2013 Australian Goldfields Open.

In April 2014, Surety won a place on the professional World Snooker Tour for the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons after coming through the EBSA Amateur Cup play-offs with wins over Michael Tomlinson and Michael Georgiou, both 4–1.

Debut season
Surety lost his first five matches as a professional, before beating Mark King 6–3 to qualify for the International Championship where David Gilbert defeated him 6–4 in the first round. He was knocked out in the first round of the UK Championship and Welsh Open by Michael Holt and Graeme Dott respectively but qualified for the China Open by seeing off Li Hang 5–4. Surety won three frames in a row to beat Joe Swail 5–4 to reach the last 32 of a ranking event for the first time and quickly raced into a 4–1 lead over Robert Milkins. Milkins cut the gap to 4–3, before Surety saw his best chance to win come in the next frame when he opened it with a 65 break, but he went on to lose it and the match in a deciding frame. Milkins apologised to Surety for his behaviour during the match afterwards. Surety's debut campaign ended with a 10–8 defeat to Zhou Yuelong in the first round of World Championship qualifying, which saw him placed 97th in the world rankings.

2015/2016 season
All players on the snooker tour receive entry to the first round of the UK Championship and Welsh Open, these were the only events Surety could reach in the 2015–16 season. He lost 6–4 to Jack Lisowski in the first round of the UK and 4–1 to Joe Swail in the first round of the Welsh. Surety dropped off the tour after being unable to break into the top 64 in the world rankings during his two-year stay and he entered Q School in an attempt to win his place back. In the second event he lost 4–1 in the final round to David John, but he would gain entry in to some events next season as a top-up player due to his high Q School Order of Merit ranking.

2016/2017 season
4–2 and 4–1 victories over Kyren Wilson and Antony Parsons saw Surety qualify for the European Masters and he was knocked out 4–1 by Liang Wenbo in the first round. He reached the second round of the Northern Ireland Open by beating Darryl Hill 4–3, but lost 4–2 to Hossein Vafaei. Surety dropped off the tour at the end of the year after failing to progress through Q School.
