title: Smot (chanting)

text:
Smot chanting, or smot ( or ) is a chanting tradition performed primarily at funerals in Cambodia. It is associated with other various forms of Buddhist chanting used by Buddhism in Cambodia but distinct from both paritta chant and khatha used in Buddhist chant to proclaim the Dhammapada.

Etymology: the causative form of prayer
Smot or smutr is a Khmer morphologic transformation of the sanskritic root sutra, which refers to a set prayer or verse, with the causative infix which induces the active verb sot (), i.e. to pray, to become factitive, smot (), i.e. to cause one to pray. Similarly,  (), i.e. to be deaf, becomes  (), i.e. to make someone deaf.

Esthetics: an experience of rasa beyond religious norms
The content of smot reflects complex origins, where various animistic, Hindu and Buddhist traditions blend together. In contemporary Cambodia, according to Khmer scholar Khing Hoc Dy, smot falls within the category of casual literature (រឿងល្បែង), and does not belong to the canonical Khmer Buddhist literature.

Smot should be understood within the broader frame of Indian aesthetics as rasa (Sanskrit: रस), i.e. an emotion or feeling in the reader or audience that cannot be described. The main emotion induced by the performance of smot  is shock or wonder, which Buddhists describe as saṃvega, an emotion similar to that which can be felt when listening to Gregorian chant according to Ceylonese Tamil metaphysician and philosopher of Indian art Ananda Coomaraswamy According to ethnologist Trent Walker, while agreeing that smot provokes saṃvega  in rites for the sick and dying, a different kind of smot leads to pasāda  during consecrations of images of Buddha.

The Buddhist character of this experience can be questioned, as rasa  theory makes metaphysical assumptions that are inappropriate in the Buddhist context. In fact, smot applies equally to non-Buddhist songs and rituals. Various traditions of smot, such as the Chey  and the Bat Sara Phanh, invoke the teveda, Hindu celestial figures or angles are called for help.

The texts used in smot are usually in Khmer.

Music: the most ornamented of all Cambodian vocal performance styles
Smot is the slowest, longest, most complex and most ornamented of all Cambodian Buddhist vocal performance styles. It is traditionally interpreted by both men and women but is always solo and a capella, though it can sometimes be accompanied by various Khmer instruments including the tro sau.

The smot style of vocal performance is distinct from both singing and chanting, and is characterized as "sweet, melodious and musical," marked by rubato rather than strict metric time. Rich vibrato, dramatic glissandi, and subtle falsetto techniques are a hallmark.

Its length has a hypnotizing aspect as the soft, low, and slow song of the achar continues over the course of several hours until the ritual assembly joins in, gradually raising the tone and accelerating the speed of the chant which was can ultimately transform into a raucous cry.

Classification: a plurality of functions
Smot serves a number of functions in Cambodia which can be classified as: lament, filial piety, Jataka tales, the life of Lord Buddha, and various Buddhist chants and blessings.

Lament
Smot is most popular as a Khmer lament, as present in other cultures such as the Arabic mawwal or even more so the Corsican lamentu which is also sung a capella and a rich ornementation. In Khmer the two words smot and tomnounh (ទំនួញ, i.e. to lament) are often associated. One of the most popular forms of smot sang during the Khmer festival of Pchum Ben is the Tom Nounh Pret (ទំនួញប្រេត, the Lament of the Ghost) which plays heavily upon the Khmer popular belief in the evil influence of ghosts. However, in the beginning, the author exhorts listeners to go the voat temple to make offerings to their relatives who may benefit from a transfer of their merits.

Filial piety
Smot  is used to express the value of filial piety, a foundational element of Theravada Buddhism, though these texts contain scant references to Buddhist teachings other than injunctions to respect one's parents. Many Dhamma hymns, like "Orphan's Lament," are dramatic stories of grief and loss that seemed unrelated to the classical Theravāda path to liberation.

Jataka tales
Smot is used for a variety of texts ranging from uniquely Southeast Asia jātaka stories from the Paññāsajātaka collection to the penultimate life of the Buddha before his awakening, the famous Vessantarajātaka as found in the Pāḷi Sutta Piṭaka.. "Sovannasam's Lament," recounting a dramatic moment in the Syama Jataka where the future Buddha laments how his death will prevent him for caring for his parents, is similar to examples in the genre of filial piety.

Life of Buddha
Smot is rarely used to relate the life of Lord Buddha. A typical example is "The Last Testament of the Buddha" in which Buddha exhorts Ānanda to continue to practice after his Final Nibbana.

Puja and Paritta
In Cambodia, some puja and paritta chants are close to smot, usually to recite gatha, typically sutta texts in Pāḷi and jaya  ("victory") or blessings texts in Khmer free verse petitioning from a host of Buddhist and Brahmanical deities, following the historical syncretism of Cambodian religion. However, these texts are generally only performed by monks. Mantra  songs are only recited in Pāḷi, not Khmer, so the semantic content is inaccessible for the vast majority of the laypeople in the audience.

Performers
Smot can be performed by either men or women, monks or laymen but it is most often chanted solo and a capella by the achar, an elderly man well-trained in the rich religious traditions of Cambodia.

Famous chanters of smot include Prom Uth (1945–2009) or the monk Hun Horm (1924-2007) (later known as Hun Kang). Young artists who carry on the tradition are Sinat Nhok, and Pheuan Srey Peu (or Phoeun Srey Pov). Pheuan Srey Peu has studied with Prom Uth and Professor Yan Borin.

The most common scales for lament smot are hexatonic modified dorian and mixolydian scales.

Cultural representations
The Cambodia Living Arts group seeks young people to study with the few remaining older masters of the art form.

Presentations of smot have been given at the Khmer Arts Academy in Long Beach, California.

In 2019, composer Him Sophy combined various traditional Khmer instruments and smot  chanting with a Western chamber orchestra and chorus to create the musical track of Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia.

title: Geoffrey Warnes

text:
Squadron Leader Geoffrey Berrington Warnes,  (22 October 1914 – 22 February 1944) was a British pilot who flew with No. 263 Squadron RAF during the Second World War. He was described by Group Captain Johnnie Johnson as a "gay, cheerful character" who was a "leader of men".

Early life
Warnes was born on 22 October 1914, the son of Clifford and Dorothy Warnes. As a child he lived in Headingley, Leeds; he was educated at Cockburn High School, leaving in 1931 "to work in an office". He was a member of the Civil Air Guard where he learnt to fly with the Yorkshire Aeroplane Club at Yeadon Aerodrome, his instructor was "Ginger" Lacey (later squadron leader). He played rugby with Headingley Rugby Club (now Leeds Tykes) from 1936 until the outbreak of war.

War service
At the outbreak of the Second World War, Warnes volunteered as a pilot, but was rejected because he wore glasses and his eyesight was too bad to be corrected by lenses in flying goggles. He persisted and was eventually rewarded when he was accepted for ground duties. He was commissioned as an acting pilot officer (on probation) in April 1940. He was posted to France, but on returning after the Fall of France, he was posted to a barrage balloon squadron. He continued in his efforts to fly and was transferred to the General Duties Branch in November 1940, for training as a flying instructor. He accumulated 400 hours teaching trainee RAF pilots on Tiger Moths, whilst still trying to get transferred to a combat unit. He was wearing spectacles under his flying goggles, but was challenged by his medical officer about the safety of this. With the threat of being grounded, he consulted a specialist and, using £50 of his own money, invested in contact lenses. He was sent to Group Captain Philip Livingston, a consultant ophthalmologist in the RAF Medical Services, who gave permission for Warnes to fly on active missions. He was posted to No. 263 Squadron RAF at Charmy Down in Somerset.

Westland Whirlwinds
No. 263 Squadron flew Whirlwinds, a twin-engined heavy fighter; the new No. 137 Squadron RAF had just been formed at that airfield, it was the only other squadron to be equipped with Whirlwinds and some of 263's experienced pilots were transferred to it. Geoffrey Warnes's first recorded mission on 19 September 1941 was a Mandolin operation to attack Morlaix aerodrome in Brittany. Four aircraft flew from Predannack in Cornwall, but they failed to locate their target and "inconclusive attacks were made on a pill box". Spitfires from 313 Squadron provided an escort "but showed no very marked inclination to stick close to the Whirlwinds". On 9 November Warnes was promoted to flight lieutenant and appointed Flight Commander of "B" Flight. The winter of 1941–1942 was quiet, with much fog and snow. In February, the squadron was moved to Fairwood Common near Swansea in Wales, and April saw them moved west to Angle in Pembrokeshire; that summer would be spent mainly on the routine tasks of convoy protection and reconnaissance patrolling from these parts of Wales.

As well as its fighter capability, the Whirlwind could operate as a fighter-bomber. In August 1942, No. 263 Squadron moved to Colerne in Wiltshire, bomb-racks were fitted to eight aircraft and nearly all members of "A" and "B" flights granted a week's leave while this was carried out. After brief bombing practice at the beginning of September, the squadron moved to Warmwell in Dorset, from which their first bombing operation on 9 September was successful. Four aircraft, including Warnes', flew armed with 250 lb bombs. They encountered "four ships of the large armed trawler type" off Cape La Hague and sank two. Much of the next two months were spent on armed reconnaissance, Rhubarb and Roadstead operations.

On 9 December 1942, Warnes became Commanding Officer (CO) of No. 263 Squadron and was promoted squadron leader, his predecessor having been shot down off Jersey two days before and later presumed killed. 1943 brought considerably more action than the previous year, chiefly the bombing of shipping and railway lines in northern France, along with more routine work. Geoffrey Warnes was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross on 17 February 1943 and the Distinguished Service Order on 13 June that year. Two days after which he completed his tour of duty and was posted as second-in-command of operations at No 10 Group headquarters. The following is a text extract from the squadron records:

Hawker Typhoons
No. 263 Squadron flew its last operation with Whirlwinds from RAF Warmwell on 29 November 1943.  On 2 December, the first six Hawker Typhoons, its new aircraft, arrived at the airfield. On 3 December, Westlands, who built the Whirlwind, gave a party for the squadron in nearby Yeovil and the next day 12 aircraft flew in formation over the town.

On 5 December 1943, Warnes returned to active duty with his squadron. The men had moved by road to Ibsley, their new planes being flown over by another squadron. His first task as CO was develop the squadron's tactics with their new aircraft. There were no more operational flights until February. From now on, they would be flying this single-engined strike fighter, which could carry ground-attack rockets or a small bomb load. Typhoons had been flown by squadrons as early as September 1941, but its engine was still giving concern at the end of 1943 – it had problems which would not be cured until the end of the war was near. After flying a reliable twin-engined aircraft, pilots felt much less secure, aside from the usual operational dangers, they would be flying to northern France over 60–120 miles of open sea with only one, occasionally unreliable, engine.

On 1 February 1944, the squadron came back into operational readiness at RAF Beaulieu. Operations were mainly conducted over the Cherbourg peninsular and included attacks on V-weapon launch sights. On 12 February, Warnes shot down a Dornier 217 over Brittany and the next day he chased and destroyed a Messerschmitt 109F near Chartres. 14 February saw many of the pilots undertaking dinghy drill in Bournemouth swimming baths, followed by "an evening of various pleasures".

22 February "proved disastrous to the squadron". After refuelling at Harrowbeer, nine aircraft carried out shipping reconnaissance west of the Channel Islands. No enemy action took place, but Warnes was forced to ditch his aircraft (Typhoon Ib, MN249) and he was seen swimming towards what looked like an uninflated dinghy. Twenty-one-year-old Flying Officer Bob Tuff of the Royal Australian Air Force said that he was going to bail out to help him, Flight Lieutenant Gerald Racine told him not to, but his order was ignored or not heard. Three men lost their lives on that day, as a third pilot, Flying Officer Robert Hunter, was not heard of again.

The Ohio Bobcats basketball team only called the Grover Center home from 1960–68 after the much larger Convocation Center opened up December 3, 1968.  It is named after former Bobcat coach Butch Grover.

Renovations
From 1996 to 2001 renovations began to convert the building to more than 50 classrooms and labs and expanding to nearly  in size. The total cost of the 5 year renovation was $24.5 million.

title: Unique Copy Album

text:
Unique Copy Album is the name of a unique copy release of an album by the Swiss band The Bianca Story.
2009 sold through an art auction for 10'000 Swiss francs.
The 500 kg heavy sculpture was equipped with high fidelity speakers and a sensor system, which controlled the volume, depending on the position of the sculpture's wing doors. If those were opened all the way, the album should be able to listened to in concert level. To skip to the next song, the sensors needed to be contacted.

Realization
From October till December 2009  The bianca Story released each month a song with a videoclip for free, which ended with the unique auction of the sculpture Unique Copy Album in only one physical edition. the members of the group insisted, that the 10'000 mirror ball pieces were handcrafted and pasted up by hand. With help of some volunteers in over 3 months, this unique piece was created. The presentation was held in conjunction with an art exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Glarus, Switzerland. The Unique Copy Album was sold for 10'000 Swiss francs on behalf of the gallery Gröflin&Maag to the art collector Thomas Merian.

Idea
"Most people thought we were crazy" was the comment of the group. With this by then unseen procedure they tried to bring to attention of how value was set to their music and for that intentionally took use of the mechanisms of the art business. More than a common record release, the unique put this album in the tradition of sculptural art pieces, as well inspired by Jean Michel Jarres Music For Supermarkets. First reactions were critically acclaimed, since the by then unknown band was taken as a lightweight PR stunt. Th group never denied the positive effect on that, but expressed their aim of breaking up regular structures as their main goal. With the presentation of the Unique Copy Album they send out a comment saying:  "There is an original of Mona Lisa, and millions of postcards of her! This idea we liked and tried to introduce this to the music market! It's actually quite simple! Feel free to copy the idea!".
The surprising positive reactions to their idea of Unique Copy Album lead to a contract at the Berlin-based music label Motor Music

title: Umbul Temple

text:
Umbul Temple () is a Mataram-era Hindu temple in Kartoharjo, Grabag, Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. It consists of numerous stones around two bathing pools which derive their water from a spring. Thought to have been built in the 9th century as a bathing and resting place for the King of Mataram, it was abandoned in the early 11th century but rediscovered by the 19th century. The temple complex, considered a Cultural Property of Indonesia, is open to tourists – including bathers and pilgrims.

Description
The Umbul temple complex has two rectangular bathing areas, a larger upper pool (measuring ) and a smaller lower pool (measuring ). The warm, green-tinted water, which is derived from a spring, flows from the large pool into the smaller one through a  long water duct.

Around the pools is a garden, as well as various stones, including some in the shape of lingga and yoni. In 1876, the Dutch scholar R.H.T. Friederich proposed that there may have been two temples at the site, although no bases have been discovered. His proposal of two temples is supported by similarities in the carving of the stones and reliefs, suggesting that they were not part of the same temple. An original wall lies some  east of the bathing pool.

Various artefacts have been found at Umbul, including religious sculptures. Statues found include two of Ganesha, two of Durga, and one of Agastya. In a 1923 inventory, N.J. Krom wrote that a garuda with a human body had been found as well.

Location and history

Umbul is located in Kartoharjo, Grabag, Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, at the bottom of a valley and surrounded by hills, approximately  above sea level. It is one of eleven temples in the area around the Elo River; Umbul is  south of the waterway. Umbul is one of several water-related attractions in the area, which is also home to Sekar Langit waterfall and Telaga Bleder.  The temple is known by several names, including Air Panas and Candi Panas, and its waters are believed to cure skin diseases.

The exact year of the temple's construction is not certain, though it is thought to have been constructed in the 9th century, perhaps between 800 and 890, predating the better-known Borobudur. It is thought to have been a resting and bathing area for the Hindu Mataram-era kings, as well as serving as a site of worship. It is one of only four confirmed pools from the era, the others being Sidomukti near Semarang, Cabean Kunti in Boyolali, and Payak in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.  Umbul was likely abandoned following the 1006 eruption of Mount Merapi, which covered the area in ash, and a flood not long afterwards. Although the year of rediscovery is not recorded, the temple has been known since at least the 19th century, and Dutch coins from the 1700s have been found in the area.

Umbul is open as a tourist attraction. Tribun Jogja reports that, , it receives an average of 30 visitors a day; some come to bathe, others to relax, and others for pilgrimage. Entrance tickets are Rp. 3,300 for adults and 2,300 for children. The potential for growth is limited by the narrow streets leading to the temple from the main road. The complex is considered a Cultural Property of Indonesia.

Loosely based on the 2010 picture book of the same name by Marla Frazee, it was directed by Tom McGrath from a screenplay by Michael McCullers, and stars the voices of Alec Baldwin as the title character, along with Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, Miles Bakshi, and Tobey Maguire. The first installment in The Boss Baby franchise, the plot follows a boy helping his baby brother who is a secret agent in the war for adults' love between babies and puppies.

The Boss Baby premiered at the Miami International Film Festival on March 12, 2017, and was released in the United States on March 31.  The film received mixed reviews from critics upon release, who praised its animation and voice performances but criticized the complicated plot, the pacing, and humor. It grossed $528 million worldwide against its $125 million budget. The film received Best Animated Feature nominations at the Academy Awards, Annie Awards, and Golden Globes.

A Netflix television series, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, premiered on April 6, 2018, while a sequel film, The Boss Baby: Family Business, was released in theaters and on Peacock on July 2, 2021. Another Netflix television series, The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib, premiered on May 19, 2022.

Plot

Tim Templeton, a creative 7-year-old, is taken aback when his new baby brother, Boss Baby, arrives. Baby wears a suit and tie and acts like a normal baby around adults, but acts like an adult when adults are absent.  One day, Baby holds a staff meeting with other infants, under the guise of a neighborhood play date. Tim attempts to record them on a tape before Baby and his cronies spot and chase him, resulting in it being destroyed. Tim is grounded until he learns to get along with Baby.

Later, Baby reveals the truth as to why he is in his house and where he comes from. He and Tim suck a special pacifier that allows them to see Baby Corp, where babies come from. Most babies go to families, but those unresponsive to tickling are sent to management, where they are given a special baby formula that allows them to think and behave as adults while remaining young forever. Baby explains he is on a special mission to investigate the declining love for babies due to puppies, and came to the Templeton's as Tim's parents work for Puppy Co. Once his mission is done, he will leave. However, the boys hear Baby's boss threatening to fire him if he fails, which would mean Baby would have to stay and grow up with the Templeton family. Tim and Baby team up to prevent this.

On Take Your Kid to Work Day, the parents take Tim and Baby with them to Puppy Co. While investigating, they are caught by Francis Francis, who used to be the CEO of Baby Corp but got fired due to aging from lactose intolerance. He takes Baby's formula to create a "Forever Puppy" incapable of aging, which will take all love from babies and give him his revenge on BabyCorp.

Francis takes Tim's parents to a Las Vegas conference and leaves his brother Eugene to pose as a female nanny to watch the children. The boys attack Eugene with fake vomit and escape him with the help of neighborhood toddlers. They reach Las Vegas, where they find Francis ready to launch a rocket of Forever Puppies out into the world. Tim's parents are trapped below the rocket to be burned. Tim and Baby fight Francis on a stainless steel permit walkway, making him fall into a vat of formula that turns him back into a baby, and Eugene takes him home. Tim and Baby save Tim's parents and eject the Forever Puppies from the rocket before it launches.

Baby goes back to Baby Corp and becomes CEO. BabyCorp workers erase evidence of Baby and erase the parents' memories of him. One of these workers asks Tim if he would like to forget about Baby, but he declines. Tim soon realizes he misses Baby deeply, and invites him back, saying that he can have all of Tim's parents love. Baby returns as a regular baby named Theodore "Ted" Templeton, realizing love is something that grows, instead of being divided.

Years later, an adult Tim and Ted tell the story to Tim's eldest daughter, who is apprehensive about the arrival of her newborn baby sister. After the adults leave, the newborn girl reveals she is a Boss Baby, too, surprising the elder daughter.

Production
Upon reading the original book on which the film is based McGrath felt a connection to it, as he had an older brother and felt like "the boss baby of the family". In keeping with that theme he stated, in an interview with Den of Geek, that "My personal goal with this was to watch this movie with my brother, and to see how it affected him!", which resulted in McGrath's brother being moved to tears by the completed film.

The look of the film was inspired by design techniques popularized in the 1960s, as well as animated films from both the 1950s and 1960s. This was due to McGrath's belief that contemporary animated films focused too much on realism. To help his staff McGrath would play the opening scene of Lady and the Tramp (1955) for new hires specifically noting that the film "should be easy on the eyes and really lead your eye to what's important in the shot.

In September 2014, Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacey joined the cast of the film, with further casting news announced in June 2016, including Steve Buscemi replacing Spacey.

Miles Bakshi, son of the DreamWorks Animation's producer Gina Shay and grandson of the film director Ralph Bakshi, known for directing animated films such as Fritz the Cat, provided the voice of 7-year old Tim. Having been often present at DreamWorks, McGrath initially asked Bakshi only to provide a temporary voice for Tim to see if the character "worked". The producers listened to 30 to 40 children to choose the scratch voice. McGrath explained their decision: "No one sounded as authentic as Miles did. A lot of child actors are great, but they are over-articulate for their age. Miles was just natural and charming. He had a little slur to his voice at the time and it was very endearing." Three years later, Miles was told that he got the part. Bakshi was 10 when he began recording the voice. During the long process, his voice started to change and "by the end it got pretty tough", according to Bakshi, who was 14 when the film was released. He had to get his voice "very soft, but when I got that perfect tone it was great."

Music
The film was scored by Hans Zimmer and Steve Mazzaro, Jacob Collier, and various artists. It marks as Zimmer's fifth collaboration with Tom McGrath after the Madagascar trilogy (2005–2012) and Megamind (2010), and his 12th overall film he scored for DreamWorks Animation, which includes The Prince of Egypt (1998), The Road to El Dorado (2000), Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002), Shark Tale (2004), and the first three Kung Fu Panda films (2008–2016). The film's soundtrack was released on Back Lot Music & iTunes. "Blackbird" by The Beatles is used as part of the plot at various points throughout the film. During the end credits, Missi Hale recorded a cover of the Burt Bacharach song "What the World Needs Now Is Love" (first performed by Jackie DeShannon). "My House" by Flo Rida is also used in the trailer for the film.

Release

Theatrical
The Boss Baby was initially scheduled for release on March 18, 2016, but was later pushed back to March 31, 2017.

From November 2017 to May 2019, the film was available on Netflix, and  the film returned to the streaming platform after 4 years on May 22, 2023.

Reception

Box office
The Boss Baby grossed $175 million in the United States and Canada and $353 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $528 million.

The film was released with Ghost in the Shell and The Zookeeper's Wife on March 31, 2017. The Boss Baby grossed $15.5 million on its first day, including $1.5 million from Thursday night previews. The film then earned $50 million from 3,773 theaters during its opening weekend. Its second weekend earnings dropped by 47% to $26.3 million, and followed by another $15.9 million the third weekend. The Boss Baby completed its theatrical run in the United States and Canada on November 2, 2017.

Critical response
The Boss Baby has an approval rating of  based on  professional reviews on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of . Its critical consensus reads, "The Boss Babys talented cast, glimmers of wit, and flashes of visual inventiveness can't make up for a thin premise and a disappointing willingness to settle for doody jokes." Metacritic (which uses a weighted average) assigned The Boss Baby a score of 50 out of 100 based on 32 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.

Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times praised Baldwin and the adult humor, saying: "The contrast between the helpless-infant stage of life and corporate-speak is funny but fairly high-concept for a kiddie movie, and the plot grows denser as it goes along and the baby and Tim reluctantly join forces to stop a conspiracy by which puppies would corner all the love in the world."

Accolades

Academic Scholarship
In 2021, interest in the original film was renewed when a philosophical symposium dedicated to the film was announced. While widely believed to be a prank at first, organizers Jaime McCaffrey and Tore Levander insisted this was not that case. Responding to the early criticism, McCaffrey stated to The A. V. Club that "Its messaging, the way that it tries to convey ideas, you almost can't discern what the position of the movie is. And all the artistic decisions in the movie seem to be conflict with each other in such a way that as a viewer you are like ‘I don't know what I'm supposed to feel and therefore I must analyze.'"

The first conference was done virtually and featured speakers from Northeastern University, Middlesex University, the University of York, Cambridge University, and a medical doctor from the University of California Riverside. JP Karliak, the TV show's voice actor, and Brandon Sawyer, writer and executive producer of The Boss Baby: Back in Business, both spoke at the event. The "Second First Annual" conference was hosted in January of 2023.

Hans Zimmer and Steve Mazzaro returned to write the music for the film.

title: Guler State

text:
Guler was a small precolonial Indian hill state in the Lower Himalayas. Its capital was the town of Haripur Guler, in modern-day Himachal Pradesh. The kingdom was founded in 1415 by Raja Hari Chand, a scion of the ancient royal family of Kangra.  The etymology of the word Guler can be traced to the word Gwalior, meaning the abode of cowherds. One of the foremost schools of Pahari miniatures is named after this small principality.

Guler State is famous as the birthplace of Kangra painting in the first half of the 18th century when a family of Kashmiri painters trained in Mughal painting sought shelter at the court of Raja Dalip Singh (r. 1695–1741) of Guler. The rise of Guler Paintings or Guler style started in what is known as the early phase of Kangra art.

History

Early history
According to legends, the Guler state was founded at an uncertain date between 1405 and 1450 by Raja Hari Chand. One fateful day, he fell into a dry well while hunting. Since no one could find him, the Raja was presumed dead and his brother was then named the Raja of Kangra State. When Raja Hari Chand was eventually brought back alive from the well, instead of fighting for his rights to the throne, he founded the town of Haripur on the valley below the fort by the Banganga River.

Sikh Empire and British Raj
In 1813, Guler state was annexed by the Sikh Empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Bhup Singh (1765 - 1826) was the last ruling king. He was given a Jagir in Nandpur by Ranjit Singh in 1826. The Jagir was recognized by the British government in 1853. In 1877, his son Shamsher Singh died without male heirs and the state lapsed.

Guler paintings
The Mughals had a considerable impact on the socio-cultural and political sphere of the hilly areas. The Mughal influence provided an important impetus to the development of the Guler School, as the rulers started to take an active interest in promoting and patronizing art as the Mughals did. According to recent research works, the tradition of painting was already present in the second half of the 17th Century in the Pahari areas of Basohli, Chamba, and Nurpur. This period saw monochrome drawings and the prevalence of warm primary colours used by the painters. These paintings however lacked the fine, intricate details seen in Mughal miniatures.

In Dilparanjani, one of the verses mentions the name of Rajguru Dinamani Raina, one of the painters of Guler, along with Chaturbhuj Purohit, one of the royal preceptors famous for his knowledge of mythological texts. Contemporary portraits of both these figures are known and have been catalogued. The Kashmiri painters, who earlier enjoyed prestigious positions under the Mughals, were dispossessed after the ascendancy of Aurangzeb and were forced to migrate in search of patronage from the Rajput rulers. Accordingly, a family of Kashmiri painters, Hasnu and his sons Seu, Billu (Billand) and Raghu, settled at Guler towards the last phase of the 17th Century and introduced a new style of painting that was characterised by a high degree of naturalism in addition to the Mughal conventions which these painters brought with them. This family having set up a workshop at Guler, began working in the court. An inscription in Guler bahi at Haridwar mentions this lineage as 'vamsa h ka', and even later Pandit Seu's son Nainsukh had identified Hasnu as his grandfather in a detailed bahi-entry written by him, at Haridwar in 1763. Bahis are records maintained by priests at Hindu worship sites of the pilgrims visiting these places for ceremonies, etc. While Manaku is said to have noted the earliest inscription of this painter-family at a bahi in Haridwar, where in 1736, he along with his cousins wrote the entry in the Takri script identifying the group as 'vasi Guler ke'''. Manaku was Seu's eldest son. Later, while Manaku worked at Guler, Nainsukh migrated to Jasrota court, and in his oeuvre that flourished under the patronage of Raja Balwant Singh, the Guler paintings reached their state of maturity and creative finessee.

The portraits of the Guler school show close proximity with those of the Mughal school, suggesting that Seu, and his songs Nainsukh and Manaku, had borrowed extensively from the traditions of Mughal miniatures. Apart from portraits, the rulers, particularly Raja Govardhan Chand, under whose patronage Manaku worked, commissioned paintings on a variety of subjects such as the Bhagavata Purana and the Gita Govinda. Youthful female faces, well-rounded, and definite in shape - as seen in the painting Lady Smoking a Huqqa at the Terrace, became a prototype for the depiction of female figures in the Bhagavata Purana, and Gita Govinda series. Developed by the two brothers Manaku and Nainsakh, these features exhibited a fine perfection of the Guler school and were also adopted by the later-generation painters. These next-generation painters transformed the style, and more subtle pictorial landscapes, and stylized bodily features, especially the depictions of female bodies, colour choices, etc, underwent considerable changes. For Khandalavala, the roundish female faces of the first half of the 18th Century were typical of what he called the Bhagvata face. Manaku-Nainsukh's slender female forms clad in ghagra choli, are replaced by fuller forms wearing peshwaz by the later artists. While the Guler paintings depicting Baramasa and Bihari Satasi'', composed in oval formats, capture the subtle sentiments of love and human emotions. However, by the end of the 19th Century, the splendour of the Guler school had declined as artists began to produce cheap copies, and laborious processes of making colours and pigments were discarded as chemical paints became available in the market. The artists next started to paint under Sikh chieftains, as the Janamsakhi paintings reveal. This was facilitated by the consolidation of Sikh power at the same time.

title: Ex-Muslims of North America

text:
Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA) is a non-profit organization which describes itself as advocating for acceptance of religious dissent, promoting secular values, and aiming to reduce discrimination faced by those who leave Islam.

History
The organization was founded in 2013 in Washington, D.C., by Sarah Haider and Muhammad Syed, and in Toronto by Sadar Ali and Nas Ishmael. They say that it is the first organization of its kind to "establish communities exclusive to ex-Muslims in order to foster a sense of camaraderie and offer a space free of judgement for lack of religiosity."

Organization
Its stated mission is to reduce discrimination faced by those who leave Islam, advocate for acceptance of religious dissent, and promote secular values; counter the isolation facing non-theist ex-Muslims by fostering communities and support networks; and strive to amplify diverse ex-Muslim voices and experiences, and stand against those who seek to stifle criticism of Islam.

The organization has chapters in 25 cities across North America, a BBC article says that the organization has about 1,000 volunteers in 25 cities in North America and an article in the Democrat and Chronicle says that the group has about 4,000 total members.

The organization is run by staff, volunteers and relies on donations.

Activities

EXMNA organizes support chapters across the United States and Canada which are closed-group meetings for safety reasons; individuals who wish to attend the support group events must go through a screening process for identity authentication purposes.

EXMNA provides emergency support and grants to ex-Muslims in dire times – from escaping abuse to finding shelter and professional assistance. In 2018 Mahad Olad, a US college student was taken to Kenya and held against his will. He was to undergo conversion therapy to cure his apostasy and homosexuality. He was rescued through EXMNA's efforts and provided a grant to pay for his flight back to the US.

EXMNA spearheaded a campaign which successfully pressured Twitter to reverse its decision to submit to a request by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority to block content and accounts which the agency deemed blasphemous in what a report by The New York Times said was the first time that the social networking service had agreed to withhold content in Pakistan.

EXMNA went on a 2017–2018 campus tour across North America in what the organization said was a first-of-its kind effort to bring Muslim apostates and other activists to colleges across the United States and Canada.

WikiIslam
In late 2015, EXMNA took over ownership of the website WikiIslam.

In 2018, Daniel Enstedt cited WikiIslam as an example of a website containing anti-Muslim rhetoric, and Goran Larsson cited WikiIslam as an "anti-Muslim webpage." In 2019, Asma Uddin, advisor on religious liberty to OSCE and a fellow at the Aspen Institute, reiterated WikiIslam to be a "rampantly anti-Muslim website". The same year, Syaza Shukri, Professor of Political Sciences at International Islamic University Malaysia, deemed the lack of positive content on WikiIslam to demonstrate a  "definite agenda": the promotion of a monolithic version of Islam—violent, oppressive, and unrepresentative of "how a majority of Muslims view their religion". In 2022, Rabia Kamal, a cultural anthropologist based at University of San Francisco, noted WikiIslam to be of the many Islamophobic websites dedicated to "surveillance" of Islam and Muslims.

In March 2021, EXMNA announced that it had implemented new content standards on WikiIslam, archived and deleted articles that did not meet those standards, and initiated re-writes of other articles.

Reactions
In 2016 a Wegmans in Fairfax, Virginia, refused to make a cake for the organization that was to be used in celebration of the third anniversary of the group's founding after a supervisor deemed the name of the group offensive; the company subsequently filled the cake order free of charge and issued an apology to EXMNA after legal intervention by a staff attorney from the Freedom From Religion Foundation who described the decision by the employee to refuse service as "a potential civil rights violation".

In 2017, Facebook locked out EXMNA's account for a week because it had allegedly violated the company's terms of service although it did not specify which standards the account had allegedly violated. The page was subsequently unblocked, with a Facebook spokesperson saying in an email to the Observer that "the pages were removed in error and restored as soon as we were able to investigate."

title: Theobald Jones

text:
Admiral Theobald Jones (15 April 1790 – 7 February 1868), also known as Toby Jones,
was an Irish officer in the British Royal Navy, a Tory politician, a noted lichenologist, and a fossil-collector.  The County Londonderry-born son of a Church of Ireland clergyman, Jones was descended from a 17th-century Welsh settler in Ireland. Several generations of his family had held public office in the Kingdom of Ireland, including membership of the pre-union Parliament of Ireland.

Entering the navy aged 13 during the Napoleonic Wars, the teenage Jones survived several naval engagements and the burning of his ship at night when he was 16. After ten years serving under the captaincy of his step-mother's brother, Henry Blackwood, Jones reached the rank of commander by age 25, and captain at 38, but never actually sailed as a captain.

Aged 40, Jones entered Parliament for County Londonderry, in the interest of the Marquess of Waterford.
An Orangeman and Ultra Tory
of "plain unassuming manners",
he sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom at Westminster from 1830 until he stood down from Parliament in 1857.  A member of several learned societies, he occupied his retirement from politics by making the first comprehensive catalogue of Irish lichens, laying the foundation of Irish lichenology.

Early life and family

Jones was the second son of the Reverend James Jones (died 1825), a Church of Ireland clergyman.  His mother Lydia was the daughter of Theobald Wolfe of Blackhall, County Kildare.
Rev Jones's first appointment was in 1783 as the prebendary in Killamery.  In 1786 he became rector of Kilcronaghan in County Londonderry,
where Theobald was born in 1790.
He then moved to Tamlaght O'Crilly later that year, and then to Urney in County Tyrone.
After Lydia's death in 1793,
Rev Jones remarried in 1796 to Anne Ryder, the widow of John Ryder (Dean of Lismore) and daughter of Sir John Blackwood, 2nd Bt from County Down.
Sir John sat in the House of Commons of Ireland from 1761 to 1799 for Killyleagh and Bangor.

Between1814 and 1819 Rev Jones became the County Grand Master of the Orange Order in County Londonderry. The family were involved in the defeat of the 1798 Rebellion.

Ancestry
Rev Jones was the younger brother of Theophilus Jones (1760–1835), an admiral in the Royal Navy. Their first-born brother Walter (1754–1839) was governor of County Leitrim, and an MP for Coleraine in the latter years of the Irish Parliament, and then sat for Coleraine at Westminster until 1809.  Their father Theophilus Jones (1729–1811) was an MP for Coleraine and Leitrim.

The family traced their ancestry to Bryan Jones (died 1681), a Welshman who had been granted lands in Ireland by King James VI and I in 1622.
Bryan's grandson Theophilus Jones (1666–1742) was a member of the Irish House of Commons from 1692 to 1742, for Sligo Borough and then County Leitrim.

Naval career

Jones joined the navy in 1803 as a volunteer midshipman aboard HMS Melpomene, taking part in the bombardment of French ports.
He transferred in 1805 to the 36-gun frigate HMS Euryalus, under Captain Henry Blackwood, the brother of his father's second wife Anne.
He transferred in 1807 to Blackwood's new command, the 74-gun third rate HMS Ajax.

During the Dardanelles Operation, Jones was one of the survivors when Ajax caught fire at anchor off the Turkish island of Tenedos.
The fire started at about 9pm on the evening of 14 February 1807, caused by the carelessness of a drunken crewman, and spread rapidly.  Within ten minutes heavy smoke prevented the launching of boats, and soon afterwards flames reached the main deck, forcing abandonment of the ship. The ship's company jumped into the water, and about 250 died.

For the remainder of the Dardanelles Operation, Jones served on the 40-gun fifth-rate frigate HMS Emdymion under Captain Thomas Bladen Capel. When he returned to England, he joined fellow Ulsterman Blackwood on his latest command, the newly built 74-gun HMS Warspite.
(Blackwood's disciplinarian command of Warspite was described in the letters of the midshipman James Cheape, who wrote of lashings being ordered almost daily).

Promoted to Lieutenant in July 1809, Jones saw further action on Warspite in July 1810, when they engaged the French fleet off Toulon. In 1814 he transferred to  under Captain William Woolridge, which sailed to the Cape of Good Hope. On his return to England in February 1815, he found that he been promoted in July 1814 to the rank of commander.

In 1819 Jones took command of the 10-gun HMS Cherokee, stationed at Leith. After 3 years on Cherokee, his next appointment was in 1827, when he became second captain of the 120-gun first-rate HMS Prince Regent under captains Constantine Richard Moorsom and George Poulett. For a time, Prince Regent was the flagship of Jones's former captain Henry Blackwood, now Commander-in-Chief, The Nore.

On 25 August 1828, the 38-year-old Jones was promoted to the rank of captain. He never put to sea again,
but was still paid, at a rate reported in 1833 as 10s/6d per day.
He retired from the navy in 1848,
but was promoted to rear admiral in 1855,
vice admiral in 1862,
and full admiral in 1865.

Politics

Background
Jones's native County Londonderry was a largely Protestant area, a legacy of the 17th-century Plantation of Ulster.
In the early 19th-century its politics were dominated by two powerful land-owning families: the Marquess of Waterford's Beresford family, and the Marquess of Londonderry's Stewart family (known from 1746 to 1789 by their former title Earl of Tyrone).
The Ponsonby family retained a dormant interest, but were not actively involved in this era.

The Stewart and Beresford families had been intermittent rivals, usually dividing the representation of the county with one seat nominated by each family. William Ponsonby had been elected in 1812 as the last Ponsonby MP for the county, but after his death in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo, the resulting by-election had been won by the Beresford-backed George Robert Dawson, a brother-in-law of Robert Peel.

When the Catholic Association began to organise in the County in 1823, it aroused Protestant fears which Dawson echoed. In 1825 he had presented an anti-Catholic petition to the House of Commons, signed by 1,700 County Londonderry residents. At the 1826 general election he was re-elected as a vigorous opponent of Catholic Emancipation, alongside the pro-Catholic Alexander Stewart. In November of that year Dawson presented a further anti-Catholic petition, this time with a claimed 22,000 signatures.

However, when the Irish-born Duke of Wellington became Prime Minister in 1828, he was alarmed by Daniel O'Connell's by-election victory in County Clare, and moved to enact Catholic emancipation. The Londonderry City MP Sir George Hill had warned in 1826 that Dawson would be O'Connell's "chief mark", and the prediction proved accurate. Dawson's extreme anti-Catholic speeches led O'Connell to claim in 1827 that he could "beat Dawson" at the polls.

Dawson then changed course, and began to support Wellington's proposals. His volte-face shocked and alarmed his former backers, who feared the loss of Protestant political supremacy on the county.  In a tense atmosphere, with petitions gathered by both pro- and anti-Catholic factions, the Beresfords feared losing all control of Londonderry, as O'Connell's intervention had already lost them control of County Waterford in 1826.

In August 1829, the Beresfords sought the support of the Prime Minister, who backed Dawson. They then tried negotiation with Dawson, who offered to withdraw from the county in return for a seat in one of the Beresford's pocket boroughs, but his offer was refused. Instead, their dilemma was resolved by events. Alexander Stewart retired, and the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry quietly supported the independent Sir Robert Bateson, who was well-placed to take Dawson's support.

Dawson withdrew, and Wellington found him a seat in the English treasury borough of Harwich.  The Beresfords had agonised over who they might choose as a candidate, seeking someone popular but wary of increasing the influence of a potential rival. Now with Dawson going and Londonderry accepting one seat, they had a free hand.

In Parliament
The Beresford's choice was their relative Theobald Jones. His grandmother Catherine (died 1763), wife of his paternal grandfather Theophilus Jones (1729–1811), was a Beresford.
She was a daughter of the 1st Earl of Tyrone,
making the 3rd Marquess of Waterford (1811–1859) Jones's second cousin.

As an orangeman, Jones carried the credentials they sought. At the general election in August 1830, Bateson and Jones were elected unopposed as the Members of Parliament (MPs) for County Londonderry.

In his election speech, Jones declared his independence from the administration, claiming that he would "never be found servilely walking in the wake of the minister".
He announced that he would have voted against the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, and later that year he was categorised as an Ultra-Tory.
He voted against the Reform Bill in March 1831, and was re-elected in May 1831 against a challenge from the reformer Sir John Byng,
the Commander-in-Chief, Ireland and owner of the Conolly estate at Bellaghy.

When the revised Reform Bill came before the Commons, Jones voted against it at second reading, but supported its third reading.
He was re-elected unopposed in 1832, and was returned without a contest at four subsequent elections. He was challenged in 1852 by the Liberal barrister and land-reformer Samuel MacCurdy Greer, but held his seat, and stood down from Parliament at the 1857 general election,
aged 67.

Lichenology
In May 1842, Jones was elected as a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London.
In 1858 the Scottish botanist David Moore, director of Royal Dublin Society's botanic garden, introduced Jones to the Irish botanist Isaac Carroll.
Jones and Carroll began a regular correspondence about lichens, which is preserved in the National Museum of Ireland.
A selection of their letters was published in 1996 by the National Botanic Gardens.

In 1859 Jones became an associate member of the Dublin University Zoological and Botanical Association.
In about 1860 the Association asked Jones to make a comprehensive collection of Irish lichens. His results were presented in a paper read to a meeting of the Natural History Society of Dublin in May 1864, and subsequently published as a book. Jones listed nearly 350 taxa, 20 of which had not been reported from Ireland before.

Some of Jones's work is preserved in London and Helsinki,
and he bequeathed a substantial lichen collection to the natural history museum of the Royal Dublin Society (RDS), to which he had been elected a life member in 1838.
The RDS transferred the ownership of the museum building in Kildare Street and its collections to the state in 1877.
The Admiral Jones collection was held by the Natural History Museum of Ireland until 1970,
when the museum transferred its entire botanical collection to the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin.
Jones's collection is preserved there in the National Herbarium building, still in its original purpose-built cabinets.

Jones was also a member of the Geological Society of London.
After his death in London on 7 February 1868,
the society commended his large collection of fish fossils from the carboniferous limestones of Ireland.

title: Henry Danger

text:
Henry Danger is an American comedy television series created by Dan Schneider and Dana Olsen that aired on Nickelodeon from July 26, 2014 to March 21, 2020. The series stars Jace Norman, Cooper Barnes, Riele Downs, Sean Ryan Fox, Ella Anderson, and Michael D. Cohen.

Premise
Henry Hart is a 13-year-old boy who lives in the town of Swellview. He lands a part-time job as Kid Danger, a sidekick of Swellview's well-known superhero Captain Man. Captain Man tells Henry not to tell anybody about his job, so he attempts to keep it a secret from his best friends, Charlotte and Jasper, his younger sister, Piper, and his parents. Henry goes to a shop called "Junk 'n' Stuff" which has a secret lair called the Man Cave hidden underneath where Captain Man does his work. Captain Man says he will not be around for long and needs help; soon enough, he will need someone to take his place when he is gone.

Episodes

Cast and characters

 Jace Norman as Henry Hart / Kid Danger is a 13-year-old boy who becomes the sidekick of Captain Man. He is an average kid with friends and an after school job as Captain Man's superhero sidekick. Thanks to his skills and gadgets, Kid Danger has no problem helping Captain Man on his missions. He will always be with his friends even if he has to go save the world. In "Hour of Power", Henry gains super-quick reflexes during the fight against Captain Man's former sidekick Drex.
 Cooper Barnes as Ray Manchester / Captain Man is a superhero who trains Henry. About 25 years ago, Ray Manchester's scientist father Dr. Carl Manchester accidentally pulled a lever on his Trans-Molecular Densitizer that Ray crashed into when riding his skateboard causing him to be indestructible and yet can still feel some pain for a short time. Now he is a crime-fighting superhero. He needed a sidekick, so he chooses Henry. Captain Man's Man-Cave is located underneath "Junk 'n' Stuff". Ray is shown to have a crush on Mrs. Hart despite the fact that she is married, which sometimes irritates Henry and he tries to force Ray to go do something else for the time being.
 Riele Downs as Charlotte is one of Henry's best friends. She is sarcastic, clever, and smart. She is the "sass master" of the bunch, always there to snap everyone back to reality. She and Henry have been best friends for a long time and therefore she is close enough to him to tell it like it is. She is a big fan of Captain Man. In the fourth episode, Charlotte figures out Henry's secret and gets a job as Henry and Ray's manager.
 Sean Ryan Fox as Jasper Dunlop is one of Henry's best friends. He is full of ideas, but most of them are not good. He has been Henry's best friend since preschool. He is a bucket collector who always embarrasses Henry and Charlotte. He also asks a lot of questions and is a big fan of Captain Man as well. In the episode "I Know Your Secret", Henry reveals to Jasper that he is Kid Danger, and is taken into the business.
 Ella Anderson as Piper Hart is Henry's little sister who is a fan of Captain Man. She and Henry are not that close. Piper claims that she hates her life and overreacts to various issues mostly about social media. Piper is also shown to be annoyed with Jasper's antics and seems to have a big rivalry with him.
 Michael D. Cohen as Schwoz (recurring, seasons 1–4; main, season 5) is a worker for Captain Man who handled the equipment in the man cave as he was the one who built it. Ray and Schwoz's friendship was strained when Schwoz stole Ray's girlfriend. They eventually made up when Henry convinced Ray to forgive Schwoz. Since then, Schwoz has come up with various inventions to help Captain Man and Kid Danger, though at times he can be weird and funny, which makes Henry and Ray furious. He sometimes refers to his sister as someone who looks like a horse. He also had a shape-shifting android as his "girlfriend".

title: Emily Inez Denny

text:
Emily Inez Denny (December 23, 1853 - August 23, 1918) was a painter who drew scenes from Seattle's early history, along with landscapes of the Puget Sound region. Her parents were Seattle pioneers David Denny (1832-1903) and Louisa Boren Denny (1827-1916). (Louisa Boren Denny was also technically her aunt, since her parents were stepsiblings.) Her parents came to Seattle from Cherry Grove, Illinois over the Oregon Trail. Emily had a sister, Abbie Denny Lindsley (1858-1915), and two brothers, D.T. Denny and Victor Denny.

She survived the Battle of Seattle in 1856 and later painted the event as well as many landscapes and nature scenes from the region. The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) in Seattle holds the largest collection of her works. This museum valued one of her most popular untitled works, dated 1888, at $42,500 in July 2008. In 1909 she wrote a book called Blazing the Way, which described the early history of Seattle and the Puget Sound region.

In 2007, her painting "Panoramic View of the Olympic Mountains" was displayed for the first time in 121 years, at the Museum of History and Industry.

In 1899, Inez wrote, "Blazing the Way," an autobiographical sketch which included the story of her pioneer parents and early events in Seattle. She wrote, "By thrift and enterprise they attained independence, and... helped to lay the foundations of many institutions and enterprises of which the commonwealth is now justly proud".

title: Quota system in Pakistan

text:
The Quota system in Pakistan was established to give every region of the country representation in institutions according to their population. The Quota System was first introduced in Pakistan in 1948 The Civil Service of Pakistan selects only 7.5% of the applicants by merit, education, qualification and experience. The quota system in Pakistan has some similarities with reservation in India which is its neighbor.

Background

1948
After Partition of Subcontinent, Between 1947 and 1958, Some of the most important government posts like the Prime ministership, the ministerial portfolios of Education, information and refugee rehabilitation and various provincial governorship were held by Punjabis. The first prime minister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan, introduced the Quota system for the civil service in September 1948, in order to increase the number of Bengalis who were underrepresented through numerically a majority.

1949

The quota system was further refined in 1949 when 20 percent of seats were allocated for Central Superior Services (CSS) on merit,  but the share of Sindh, Balochistan, NWFP and tribal agencies were further trimmed to 15 percent and The share of East Bengal and West Punjab, including Bahawalpur decreased by 2 and 1 percent respectively. The share of Karachi remains same.

1956
The Constitution of Pakistan of 1956 extended the quota system of 1949 by 15 years.

1970
General Yahya Khan’s martial law government extended the quota system according to which the rural and urban (Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur) population in Sindh was given 60% and 40% representation in services on the recommendations of the then martial law administrator Rukhman Gul of Sindh.

University and college admission
There is quota system in Pakistan in admission to universities and colleges where a certain number of places are reserved a priori to applicants who have completed their pre-university studies rural and undeveloped regions of the country. Candidates with low grades (marks or GPA) may qualify for admission to Medical college and Engineering college if they were from rural areas.

In 2014, a notification issued by Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) created a storm of controversy among the medical students of Pakistan. According to notification, 2014-15 admissions would be held on quota system rather than open merit i.e. 50% seats in medical colleges of Pakistan were reserved for girls and 50% for boys. But there was silence on the side of University of Health Sciences, Lahore so students could not guess whether quota system would be applied from 2014 or next year. However, few days before the issuance of UHS's first merit list, the notification was challenged in Lahore High Court. On October 29, Lahore High Court took the decision that quota system was illegal, as it would be unfair for girls so 2014-15 admissions would be held on open merit.

The Civil Service of Pakistan selects only 7.5% of the applicants by merit, education, qualification and experience while the 92.5% are selected by using quota system.

   Merit 7.5%
   Punjab  (Including Federal Area of Islamabad) 50%
   Sindh 19%
       The Share of Sindh will be further sub-allocated in the following ratio:
       Urban Areas of the Sindh 40% of 19% or 7.6%.
       Rural Areas of the Sindh 60% of 19% or 11.4%.
   Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 11.5%
   Balochistan 6%
   Federally Administered Tribal Areas 3% (will be merged with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by 2030)
   Gilgit–Baltistan 1%
   Azad Kashmir 2%
   Women Reserved Quota: 10% Women quota will be observed / calculated from the share of each province / region

Reserved political positions
Quotas in Pakistan were introduced in order to give equal opportunity for jobs, representation in assemblies and educational institutions to women, non-Muslims and people from under developed rural areas.

Armed Forces
The Sind Regiment is an infantry regiment of the Pakistan Army established on 1 July 1980. Prior to this date there had been no regiment in the Pakistan Army specifically intended to recruit primarily from the Sindhi population. After 1989 the proportion of actual Sindhis in the Regiment was increased to over 50%. The Sindh Regimental Centre is located in Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan.  The Infantry Regiments in Pakistan Army are known by the name of the province. Pakistan had Punjab Regiment, Baluch Regiment, Frontier Force Regiment and AK Regiment. This is just a symbolic representation. Sindh was the only province without a regiment to its name. Therefore, it may not be correct to say that the sole aim of establishing Sindh Regiment was to recruit Sindhi people in the army.

Constitutional rights
The 1973 constitution of Pakistan clearly describes in Chapter I titled, “Fundamental Rights and Principles of Policy”, of Article 27 Clause I about safeguarding the fundamental rights of the citizens of Pakistan against the discrimination in the federal and provincial government services in these words:

The constitution gives equal rights:
 “No citizen otherwise qualified for appointment in the service of Pakistan shall be discriminated against in respect of any such appointment on the ground only of race, religion, caste, sex, residence or place of birth.”

The quota system limits the constitutional rights:
 “Provided that, for a period not exceeding twenty years from the commencing day, posts may be reserved for persons belonging to any class or area to secure their adequate representation in the service of Pakistan.”

Criticism
The quota system has also been a Human Rights issue where a person with a regional, linguistic and rural/urban background is discriminated through quota system and denied public employment admission to colleges and universities.

Arsalan Iftikhar Chaudhry, son of former  Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, in spite of receiving a C grade (third division) in High School (Intermediate) was admitted to Bolan Medical College on the quota reserved for the Chief Minister of Balochistan. In Pakistan, medical college degree is awarded after five years but it took 7 years for Arsalan to graduate from medical college. Arsalan Iftikhar Chaudhry was a medical officer and within a month of graduation and then he was promoted as a section officer in the Department of Health of Government of Balochistan. Arsalan Iftikhar Chaudhry has never practiced medicine.

title: Fielder House

text:
The Fielder House is a historic house in Fordyce, Arkansas.  Its oldest portion built in 1875, it is the oldest building in Dallas County, predating Fordyce's founding.  It stands on the south side of US 79B in the west side of the city, and looks today like a single-story central-hall gable-roof structure with a rear shed addition, and a shed-roof porch extending across the front.  The core of the house is a log structure, which is now the west side of the building.  In the 1880s the eastern pen was added, creating a dog trot structure, which was then filled in and enclosed by later additions.  The house is also notable for being the home of the aunt of author Harold Bell Wright, who is said to have written some of his works there.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
