title: Alexandros Lykourgos

text:
Alexandros Lykourgos (; 1827–1875) was a Greek theologian, Greek Orthodox cleric and university professor.

Born in Samos Island in 1827, after extended studies in Germany (Leipzig, Heidelberg, Halle and Berlin) and a pilgrimage to Palestine he returned to Greece in 1858. He was appointed professor of theology at the University of Athens, and elected Greek Orthodox bishop of Syros and Tenos, islands of the Cyclades with significant Roman Catholic populations with whom according to French consular reports he was in conflictual relations circa 1864. He is particularly known for his visit to England to consecrate the Greek Orthodox church of St. Nicholas in Liverpool. His visit (1869-70) however took in stays with William Ewart Gladstone at Hawarden, with another Hellenist, Bishop Christopher Wordsworth of Lincoln, with the Bishop of London, honorary degrees from Oxford and Cambridge and a visit to Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle.

Lycurgos was involved in talks with Old Catholics in Bonn, where he stoutly defended the Orthodox position on the Procession of the Holy Spirit and influenced the decision of Old Catholics to abandon the Filioque clause .

He died on 17 October 1875 (O.S.).

title: Blood and Ties

text:
Blood and Ties (; lit. Accomplices) is a 2013 South Korean crime-thriller film written and directed by Guk Dong-seok, and starring Son Ye-jin and Kim Kap-soo. It follows a budding journalist who suspects that her doting father may have been the culprit in a kidnap-murder case 15 years ago.

Plot
Da-eun (Son Ye-jin) has completed graduate school and is set to become a newspaper reporter. She lives with her father Son-man (Kim Kap-soo) who lovingly refers to her as "my heart." Although her father does menial work, Da-eun is proud of him.

One day, Da-eun goes to the movies with her boyfriend Jae-kyung (Lee Kyu-han) and friend Bo-ra (Jo An). They watch a movie based on a real-life unsolved crime: A boy was kidnapped and the kidnapper demanded ransom from the parents, but the child was later found dead. The only clue the police had to the killer's identity was the ransom phone call he made to the parents. At the end of the film, they play the actual recorded audio from that phone call. Da-eun freezes when she hears the voice; the man's voice sounds eerily like her father and he also uses the phrase "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over," which her father always favored.

When Da-eun gets back home, she looks up the crime that took place nearly 15 years ago on the internet. Awash with horror and guilt for even suspecting her father, she begins to look into his past with only a few days remaining before the statute of limitations lapses on the unsolved crime. As the relationship between father and daughter wrenches apart due to mounting distrust, a man (Im Hyung-joon) from Son-man's past suddenly appears.

title: 1938 Santa Ana air show disaster

text:
The 1938 Santa Ana air show disaster occurred on 24 July 1938 at a military review on the Campo de Marte in the Santa Ana district of Bogota, Colombia. During the review, a Curtiss Hawk II biplane of the Colombian Air Force piloted by Lieutenant César Abadia performed a stunt before crashing into a grandstand and then into the crowd.

The pilot attempted to fly between the presidential stand and the stand for diplomats when he miscalculated the distance and the aircraft's wing-tip struck the diplomatic stand. The Hawk II destroyed part of the roof of the presidential stand and then careened through the crowd bursting into flames before it came to a stop upside down. Over fifty people, including civilians and soldiers were killed, and over a hundred injured. Among those in the presidential stand but uninjured were the outgoing Colombian President Alfonso López Pumarejo and his successor Eduardo Santos. Among the wounded was Misael Pastrana Borrero, a future president of Colombia.

title: Brighton Belle (Sheridan novel)

text:
Brighton Belle is a novel written by Scottish writer Sara Sheridan. The book was first published by Polygon Books in 2012 and is the first in the series of the Mirabelle Bevan mysteries.

This novel is followed in the series by London Calling (2013) and England Expects (2014).

Plot summary
Set in post-war 1951 Brighton, the plot follows bereaved ex-Secret Service agent Mirabelle Bevan whose work at a debt collection agency leads her to investigate a disappearance mystery with the help of insurance clerk Vesta Churchill. Along the way they discover murder, Nazi war criminals, betting scams, and counterfeit coins. Brighton Belle has been described as 'a cosy crime noir mystery'.

Main characters

Mirabelle Bevan

Mirabelle Bevan is the lead character in Brighton Belle and in the Mirabelle Bevan mystery series. Having retired to the seaside after a bereavement, ex-Secret Service agent Mirabelle's skills are often employed in the mysteries she encounters. Described as "well put-together, and in her prime", Mirabelle is reserved, intelligent and inquisitive and has been described as, "One part Nancy Drew, two parts Jessica Fletcher, Mirabelle has a dogged tenacity to rival Poirot."

Vesta Churchill

Vesta Churchill is an enthusiastic, bright and bubbly insurance clerk who assists Mirabelle Bevan in her investigations. Vesta provides an insight into living with black skin and the racial tensions of early 1950s Britain.

Detective Superintendent Alan McGregor

Detective Superintendent Alan McGregor handles Mirabelle's case once it is handed over to the police. Often grumpy in manner and harbouring sexist views, McGregor is at first dismissive of Mirabelle, but his respect for her grows over time as a fledgling romance develops.

Setting

Brighton Belle is set in 1951 Brighton and makes reference to local landmarks, with some chapters taking place in London. The post-war atmosphere is one of austerity, and the book does not shy away from the racial and gender equality topics of the era. Many characters are influenced by their experiences during World War II.

title: Elana Maryles Sztokman

text:
Elana Maryles Sztokman (born December 20, 1969) is an American sociologist, writer, and Jewish feminist activist. Her first two books, which explore the topic of gender identity in the Orthodox Jewish community, were awarded the National Jewish Book Award. She ran unsuccessfully for the Knesset in the 2020 Israeli legislative election as a founding member of the Kol Hanashim Women's Party.

Biography
Sztokman was born in Flatbush, Brooklyn, the third of four daughters born to Gladys (née Schmeltz) and Matthew Maryles, an investment banker.

The 2013–14 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup Finals was the best-of-7 championship series of the 2013–14 PBA Philippine Cup, and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs.

Series summary

Game 1

In the last two minutes of the game, the Elasto Painters took the lead 78–76 through a back-to-back three point shots by Jeff Chan. Tim Cone then re-inserted his starters and James Yap come up with two consecutive jumpers to gain back the lead, 80–78 with 34.7 seconds left. Jeff Chan missed a three-point attempt in the next play but Jervy Cruz got the rebound and made a hook shot to tie the game, 80-all with 22.5 seconds remaining. After the Mixers' timeout, they let the time go by until it reaches 8.7 seconds and called another timeout to draw up the possible game-winning basket, anchoring the play either to James Yap or Mark Barroca. Yap was not able to get the ball and Barroca missed his attempt while driving to the basket. In the next play, Yeng Guiao designed a play to make Jeff Chan a decoy to enable other players to be open. In-bounding the ball is Gabe Norwood who saw Paul Lee freed up with his defender, passed the ball to him to make the layup and to gain the lead, 82–80. Tim Cone called for a timeout he didn't have, resulting for a technical foul and a free throw made by Lee. The Mixers were forced to inbound the ball at the other end of the basket with .9 seconds left and failed to make the desperation shot.

title: Fancy (Iggy Azalea song)

text:
"Fancy" is a song by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea featuring British singer Charli XCX, taken from the former's debut studio album, The New Classic (2014). It was released on 17 February 2014 by Def Jam Recordings as the fourth single from the album. "Fancy" was described as an electro-hop, electropop, and pop rap song. It was written by Azalea and XCX, composed and produced by production team the Invisible Men, alongside additional producers The Arcade. It was leaked under the title "Leave It" in December 2013.

"Fancy" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming both Azalea's and XCX's first number-one on that chart. It held the spot for seven consecutive weeks. It also topped the charts in Canada and New Zealand and had general chart success around the world. It reached the top ten in several countries such as Azalea's native country Australia and the United Kingdom. It is XCX's second top-ten single, after her guest spot on Icona Pop's "I Love It" in 2013. "Fancy" was named Billboards Song of the Summer for 2014, as well as the most-streamed song on Spotify and most-watched music video on Vevo in 2014. It won the Top Rap Song category at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards and was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 57th Grammy Awards. It is one of the best-selling singles worldwide, with combined sales and track-equivalent streams of 9.1 million units according to IFPI. In 2017, Billboard named "Fancy" as the biggest hit by a female rapper in history.

The accompanying music video for "Fancy" was directed by Director X and released in March 2014. The visuals are inspired by the 1995 American comedy film Clueless, with Azalea playing Beverly Hills socialite Cher Horowitz and XCX as Tai Frasier. The music video was nominated for four awards at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, although it did not win any of them. The song was performed by Azalea and XCX on Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. "Fancy" was also covered by many artists, such as Anna Kendrick on the 39th season of Saturday Night Live.

Composition

"Fancy" is a three-minute and 19-second electro-hop, electropop, and pop rap song, which was written by Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX. The song was also composed and co-produced by the Invisible Men (Jason Pebworth, George Astasio and Jon Shave) and the Arcade (Kurtis Mckenzie). The song is played in the key of C minor without any chord progression followed, and Charli XCX's vocals range from G3 to C5. It is in common time and is played at a tempo of 95 beats per minute. The song features stabby synths and repeated hip hop chants of the word 'hey', which bear similarities to DJ Mustard's produced songs. Finger snaps are heard in the original mix.

Release
On 5 December 2013, an unfinished song by Azalea, which surfaced with the title "Leave It", was leaked online. Azalea later revealed the song was produced by the Invisible Men and the Arcade, whom she collaborated with on her entire album. On 5 February 2014, Azalea announced that she would be releasing a new single titled "Fancy", featuring English singer-songwriter Charli XCX, later that week. The song was premiered on BBC Radio 1 Xtra the evening of 6 February 2014. After the song's premiere, it was revealed "Fancy" was the song that had leaked titled "Leave It". On 17 February 2014, the song was serviced to urban contemporary radio in the United Kingdom as the album's fourth single.

Critical reception

"Fancy" received overall positive reception from music critics. Brad Stern of MTV Buzzworthy remarked, "Not since Fergie's 'Glamorous' has there been such a spectacularly sass-filled ode to the glam life," praising their chemistry, calling it "a match made in heaven that we never would've expected." Chris Tomas of Hip Hop Wired wrote that the song "could be the hit record Iggy Azalea has been looking for," noting that "Charli XCX also provides a very potent chorus that women will be chanting in their clubs, cars, and the like." Mike Wass of Idolator claimed the track is "the duet we've all been waiting for" and "a swag-drenched hip hop/pop delight." Janice Llamoca of Hip Hop DX defined it as "a hip hop-slash-pop party anthem in which the emcee lyrically displays her confidence."

Joe Gross of Rolling Stone gave the song a mixed score of 3 out of 5 stars, writing that Azalea "deftly handles the ratchet beat while Charli XCX's earworm hook holds it all down," writing that the song "[doesn't] bring '88 back [but] they can swing on chandeliers with the best of them". Jamie Parmenter of Renowned for Sound noted that the song showed the influence of Missy Elliott, and that "Iggy is almost playing a character or parody of herself like Eminem is renowned for," praising Charli XCX for "nicely breaking up the song, sounding like an edgy Gwen Stefani, matching with Iggy's rebel style." Bill Lamb of About.com, like Jake Gross, gave a mixed response, but echoed the same thought as Parmenter, praising "Charli XCX's Gwen Stefani styled vocals on the chorus" and noting that its lyrics has been done even better by Stefani nearly 10 years ago on 'Luxurious'." However, Lamb also stated that the entire song seemed "a bit too recycled" and had a "tiresome obsession with material culture delivered with a straight face." The track was placed at number nineteen on Rolling Stones'''s 50 Best Songs of 2014 list. It was named iTunes' best song of 2014 on Apple's annual Best-Ofs. "Fancy" was also placed at number one on MTV's Best Songs of 2014. The Village Voices Pazz & Jop annual critics' poll listed "Fancy" at number 26 on their poll for the best music of 2014, along with Ariana Grande's "Problem", on which Azalea was featured.

Chart performance

In the United States, "Fancy" has peaked at number one, becoming Azalea's first song to chart on the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The song is Charli XCX's second top 10 as a featured artist on the Hot 100 — the first being "I Love It" — and her first number 1. On the issue date 17 May 2014 "Fancy" reached number two of the Billboard Digital Songs chart, selling 222,000 units, occupying simultaneously the top two slots of the chart as "Problem" by Ariana Grande, in which Azalea featured, debuted at the summit of Digital Songs chart. With this achievement, Azalea became only the sixth artist to occupy the top two position and the first to do so since Taylor Swift with the singles "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "Ronan" in 2012. Azalea also became just the third female artist to place her first two Hot 100 hits in the top five simultaneously, first two being Ashanti and Mariah Carey. It also marked Azalea as the first female rapper ever to have two songs concurrently in the top five of the Hot 100 chart. Moreover, Azalea passed Lil' Kim as the female rapper with the longest-leading number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and moved into a tie for fifth place among lead women who have scored the longest commands on the Hot 100 during the 2010s. The song led the chart for seven weeks, before being succeeded by MAGIC's "Rude". "Fancy" remained in the top ten for 17 consecutive weeks.

On the following week, Azalea became only the second artist in the nearly 10-year history of the Hot Digital Songs chart to have the top two songs concurrently for two weeks and, eventually, for three consecutive weeks. On the week-ending 31 May 2014 the song ascended to number two on the Billboard Hot 100, selling 234,000 units, topped the Streaming Songs chart with 8.4 million impressions and continued to dominate the On-Demand Songs chart for a third week. As it led the Streaming Songs chart for a thirteenth week it tied Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" for the most weeks tallied at number one. "Fancy" also reached number one on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs, where it remained for 16 and 18 weeks respectively making it the longest running number one on these charts. Additionally, she is the first female Australian artist to top the Hot 100 since Olivia Newton-John reached the summit in 1981 with "Physical". Along with "Problem", Azalea has the distinction of being the first act to have its first two Hot 100-charting singles at numbers one and two at the same time since The Beatles, as "Fancy" and "Problem" did, respectively. She is also only the second female artist to have the top 2 singles for multiple weeks, with the first being Ashanti. Azalea also became the fourth female rapper to top the Mainstream Top 40 chart. The song set new single-week records on Spotify's U.S. streaming service for four consecutive weeks. On 3 September 2014, "Fancy" was named Billboard's top Song of the Summer for 2014 having led their weekly Songs of the Summer chart from start to finish. "Fancy" was also named the most streamed song on Spotify in America in 2014. The song became the fifth best-selling song of 2014 in the United States with 3,970,000 copies sold for the year. By 5 February 2015, the song had sold 4,100,000 copies.

In the United Kingdom, "Fancy" became her highest charting single as a lead artist at the time, debuting at number five on the UK Singles Chart and selling 38,320 copies in its first week. In Australia, the song peaked at number five and has been certified quadruple platinum for sales of over 280,000 copies. In its ninth week on the New Zealand Singles Chart, the song climbed from number three to the top position, giving Azalea her second number-one single there, after Ariana Grande's "Problem", having replaced herself at the top, and first number-one there as a lead artist. It also marks Charli XCX's second top-ten single, after Icona Pop's "I Love It", and first number-one single in New Zealand. It has also been certified Platinum in New Zealand. The track had sold over 7 million copies worldwide, as of October 2014, making it one of the best-selling singles worldwide. On 23 December 2014, it was certified Triple Platinum in Canada after peaking at number one on the Canadian Hot 100, with 346,000 copies sold digitally throughout 2014. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), "Fancy" achieved combined sales and track-equivalent streams of 9.1 million units in 2014, ranking as the seventh best-selling single of the year.

Music video
Background
The music video for the song was shot in February 2014 in Los Angeles and premiered on 4 March 2014, on Vevo. Directed by Director X, the visuals are inspired by the famous 1990s coming-of-age comedy film Clueless, with Azalea playing Beverly Hills socialite Cher Horowitz and XCX as Tai Frasier (as well as a redheaded rival filling in as Amber, and the brief character appearance of Dionne and Murray lookalikes) in a remake of the cult classic originally starring Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Elisa Donovan and Brittany Murphy. On 4 March, behind the scenes footage for "Fancy" was released shortly before the music video premiere. Over 250 extras were individually styled, taking over two weeks to prepare the styling for the video. The video shoot was the very first time Azalea and XCX met in person.
Synopsis

Many scenes in the video are remakes of key Clueless scenes, with outfits designed to channel the look of the film's clothing, but with a slight update. Like Clueless, the music video for "Fancy" was shot in Los Angeles' Grant High School.

The video opens with Azalea in her wardrobe finding the perfect outfit for a speech at school, using a tablet computer, similar to the protagonist of Clueless Cher Horowitz. After a scene with some cheerleaders, the video moves to the schoolyard; there, Charli XCX and Azalea are sitting at a table, with the former singing the hook. The video later includes a tennis lesson, with Azalea and others dancing close to a chain-link fence. Azalea with two other characters are seen driving in the highway; the characters of the best friend and her boyfriend are inspired by the role of Dionne Davenport and her boyfriend Murray. The video shifts to a modern version of the Christmas "Val party" from the movie, where the two protagonists arrive with their convertible. The video ends with Azalea and XCX in the school.

Reception
Chanel Parks of The Huffington Post wrote: "While it might be a little, dare we say it, sacrilegious to replicate this cult classic – we were wondering when there was going to be a music video homage to our favorite movie of all time. So props to you, Iggy." Brent Taalur Ramsey of Paste magazine praised the video, writing that "Azalea combined a quintessential 90s culture moment with her hip-hop vibes [...] this young Aussie brought it all together with some major beats and classic outfits—a sound and look that will be totally trending in the music world of 2014." It was named one of the 24 most iconic fashion moments in music videos by Harper's Bazaar. Amy Heckerling, the director of Clueless, reacted to Azalea and the video in an interview saying, "It looked like they had more money for the video than I had for the movie. But I was extremely flattered and I thought she was amazing." Original actors from the movie including Silverstone, Dash, Donovan and Donald Faison also complimented the homage.

The music video was nominated for four awards at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Best Art Direction. On 19 June, the music video surpassed the 100 million view benchmark, making it Azalea's first Vevo Certified music video. "Fancy" was named the most-watched music video of 2014 on Vevo in America. It was the most-watched video in 2014 on YouTube in Australia. It has amassed over 1 billion views as of January 2021. Entertainment Weekly named it the best music video of 2014 saying, "A detail-obsessed ode to Clueless—that highway scene! Those knee socks!—that made everybody fall butt-crazy in love with Iggy. The nostalgia trip probably fueled a lot of the popularity of "Fancy," but don't get it twisted: Azalea is a star, and all she needed was the right role to convince the world that was true." In January 2015, Billboard named it the fifth best music video of the 2010s so far.

title: Frédéric Regard

text:
Frédéric Regard is a professor of English Literature at Paris-Sorbonne University, where he teaches 19th-, 20th- and 21st-century literature and literary theory. He is a specialist in gender studies in France.

Biography

Regard was born in 1959 in Algeria in a family that had settled in Kabylie in the 19th century. He was schooled in Metropolitan France from the age of ten and entered the École normale supérieure de lettres et sciences humaines in 1978, where he majored in English literature. He passed the Agrégation in 1981 and then pursued a state doctorate under Hélène Cixous's supervision. His doctorate focused on the work of novelist William Golding, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature a year later. Regard's approach in this work had already developed into the analytical stance he would adopt later on in his career: the relationship between ethics and aesthetics. He defended his thesis at Paris 8 University in 1990.

Career

Regard taught at the lycée Montaigne in Bordeaux and the lycée Simone Weil in Saint-Étienne, as well as at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand and Cairo University in Egypt. He became a "Professeur des Universités" (professor) at Jean Monnet University in 1991, before being appointed head of the English Department at the École normale supérieure de lettres et sciences humaines when it was inaugurated in September 2000. He was head of the Department until 2008, when he became a professor at Paris-Sorbonne University.

Research

As a 20th-century-literature scholar, Regard has published many books and articles about key figures of the English novel, such as Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, or Doris Lessing among others, as well as contemporary authors (Anthony Burgess, Angela Carter, Jeanette Winterson, Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi). At the beginning of the 2000s he extended his research to 19th-century prose, and more particularly to the field of life writing, including such topics as biography, autobiography or travel writing. This led him to found the SEMA research group at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. While still writing about 20th- and 21st-century English literature, he started to publish articles and books on cardinal John Henry Newman, explorers such as E. B. Tylor, Richard F. Burton, John Ross or John Franklin, female traveler Honoria Lawrence, slave Mary Prince, journalist W. T. Stead, or feminist activist Josephine Butler. His latest book attempts a genealogy of English detective fiction from a feminist perspective.

Regard is   the founder and lead editor of the collection Les Fondamentaux du féminisme anglo-saxon (Fundamentals of Anglo-Saxon Feminism), published by ENS Editions.
He is an associate research fellow at the  and a member of the scientific board of the Institut du Genre.
He has written several article about Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous, and wrote the preface to the new French edition of her famous essay Le Rire de la Méduse (The Laugh of the Medusa").

title: Suidlanders

text:
The Suidlanders () is a South African right-wing ethnonationalist Afrikaner survivalist group whose ideology is based on the prophecies of Boer Siener van Rensburg. The group believes that a race war or general civil war, sometimes referred to as "Uhuru" or the "Night of the Long Knives," is coming in South Africa as a result of a conspiracy theory of white genocide. They anticipate an eventual collapse of infrastructure, and advocate and plan for an evacuation of white South Africans from major cities in the event of a race war. Their leader is Gustav Müller. The group has claimed success in raising global awareness of the alleged threat, following a 2017 tour to the United States by spokesperson Simon Roche, and has also taken credit for an offer by Australian government minister Peter Dutton to preferentially grant refugee visas to white South African farmers.

History and beliefs
The Suidlanders were formed in 2006 by Gustav Müller, who still heads the organisation. Müller is quoted in a video recording of 28 May 2016 as saying "My actual calling (vocation) is to bring the Boer people back to God."

The Suidlanders' activity increased after the murder of Eugène Terre'Blanche, an Afrikaner nationalist. Although the murder did not trigger massive social unrest, it did spread concern among far-right organisations and some conservative groups in South Africa.

The Suidlanders currently claim to be a civil organisation that is close to illegal in their own country. The group explicitly distances itself from neo-Nazi organisations, though they take credit for propagating the white genocide conspiracy theory.

The Suidlanders say that they are loosely inspired by the prophecies of Siener van Rensburg, a peasant farmer who served as a spiritual adviser to several Boer military leaders during the Second Boer War. They believe van Rensburg predicted a massive civil insurrection that would lead to an alleged race war in South Africa. The group believes that a state of anarchy is coming to South Africa as a result of the revolutionary speeches by Marxist African leaders calling for action against the minority in the country supported by policies to be implemented against the minority under the banner of redress.

In the wake of Nelson Mandela's death, the Suidlanders estimated the "revolution risk" in South Africa as 50 per cent, and said it would be a great time to "go on holiday," a coded statement involving the prophesied "Uhuru" or "Night of Long Knives," when blacks would allegedly kill whites in South Africa.

Leadership and management

The Suidlanders is led by an executive council composed of Louis de la Gey, Bertus Schwan and Ben van Rensburg. Their public face is Simon Roche.

They have received donations from a variety of far-right and white Nationalists: the neo-confederate League of the South, Identity Evropa founder Nathan Damigo, and American Vanguard. They also received $40,000 on FreeStartr, the defunct alt-right Patreon alternative.
The Suidlanders conduct training in all aspects of civil defence throughout the year. The training includes logistics and operations, control of refugees, first aid, firearms training, and communication.

White genocide

The Suidlanders took credit for increasing minimising severity of racially-based hate crimes. They believe anti-white racism to be imminent; also claiming credit for increasing coverage of the issue by figures such as Katie Hopkins, and for an offer by Australian cabinet minister Peter Dutton to resettle white South Africans as refugees.

title: Mawk'allaqta, La Unión

text:
Mawk'allaqta, also Mawk'a Llaqta (Quechua mawk'a ancient, llaqta place (village, town, city, country, nation), "ancient place", Hispanicized spelling Maukallakta) is an archaeological site in Peru. It is located in the Arequipa Region, La Unión Province, Puyca District, located about 2 kilometers from Puyca.

Mawk'allaqta is the largest and most important archaeological complex of the Cotahuasi valley. Developed by the Wari culture, it was strategically located on trading routes. Later it was occupied by the Allcca and later still by the Inca, who used it as a center of religious and military administration in the valley. In the 21st century, the complex is included within the Cotahuasi Subbasin Landscape Reserve.

Description
Mawk'allaqta is believed to be an administrative center developed by the Wari culture, which was active about 500CE to 1000CE, prior to the Inca Empire. The large archeological complex is located on a plateau between the Huarcaya and Sumana rivers, which merge downstream to form the Cotahuasi River. Approximately 50 stone structures have been identified on the site, which includes about 25 tombs on the east side of the complex.

The complex was strategically located, enabling Inca control of the trading routes between Cusco and the coast. The Capac Ñan network intersected here with the Contisuyo networks and connected the heart of Tahuantinsuyo Cuzco with the coast of Arequipa.

title: Luisa Recabárren de Marin

text:
Luisa Recabárren de Marin (1777 – after 1820), was one of the national heroines of the Chilean War of Independence. A socialite and the host of a literary salon, she was able to serve as a spy and advisor for the rebels using her influential contacts.

Biography

Early and personal life
Born in La Serena around 1777, Luisa Recabárren de Marin was the daughter of Josefa Genara Aguirre Rojas Argandoña, and Francisco de Paula Recabarren Pardo Figueroa, relative of , the . Luisa's high-status parents gave her a high-quality education, where she learned French. In addition to this, she possessed a great curiosity for a variety of topics, including historical, social, religious, and political matters.

She had five children with . Her children were: , Mercedes, , Estanislao, and Javiera.

Salon
Influenced by the work of the pro-Chilean independence Camilo Henríquez, Luisa Recabárren de Marin used her salon as a platform to discuss revolutionary ideas. In her salon, she planned revolts using information from high-profile contacts and plotted a path towards independence. Her advice was well-respected and heeded, and her salon was regarded as the epicenter of discussion of the revolution.

Later, as Spanish forces advanced in Chile, all of her personal assets (her husband had temporarily relocated to Argentina and she managed his business) were seized by the Spanish. However, she was able to get them back and resume her salon due to her high status.

She was imprisoned in the Las de Agustinas Monastery from 4 January to 12 February 1817.

Death

Sources are not specific about her death, but one reports that she died in Santiago on 31 May 1839.

title: Agueda Monasterio de Lattapiat

text:
Agueda Monasterio de Lattapiat (1776-1817), was one of the national heroines of the Chilean War of Independence. She served as a spy and courier for the rebels.

Early life

Family life
Agueda Monasterio de Lattapiat was born into a middle-class home in Chile. She was born to Antonia Lemus Silva and Don Ignacio Monasterio. Both families were well known and respected. Don Ignacio Monasterio was a merchant creating a comfortable life for Agueda and her seven siblings. Four of the children were boys and the other four were girls. Her family was among the earliest Chilean settlers who desired an economy for Chile as well as a democracy. At the young age of fourteen she married Jean Lattapiat. He was a French naval officer whose reputation relied on his defense of the port of Buenos Aires.

Marriage
Jean Lattapiat was employed by the French navy in order to defend the port of Buenos Aires, after the British launched a naval attack. Politician, writer, and journalist Vicente Grez noted about the couple that "his sword was known and feared, but her character was also as strong as steel." Together they had five children, Francisco, Bruno, Juan, Manuela and Juana.

Involvement in the Revolution

First Noted Display of Bravery
Royalists wanted to have the Crown remain in power, and to suppress any revolution that might occur. Tension was so high during this time "that virtually every man in Santiago carried a weapon in the streets." Often fighting broke out in the middle  of the street, this was generally known as "Figueroa's mutiny." This time, though her son was caught in the gunfire on April 1, 1811. Her earliest display of bravery and willingness to die for her children, as she ran amidst gunfire to bring her fallen son to safety.

Her Part in the Revolution
During this time a restriction was placed by the Spanish Crown on trading with the French, English, and Americans. Using this anger and oppression she encouraged tradesmen to be politically discontent. This is important because of the vast number of places tradesmen visit and the large number of people they see. If one tradesmen is discontent many more may follow his influence. This spreads the Revolutionary spirit as well as aid for it. Those that felt strongly about the independence of Chile could learn from the tradesmen what like minded people were doing and where they were meeting.

Agueda was an essential part of the spying in Chile. Her name was easily known due to her and her husband's prosperous families, making it understandable people would be at her house often. Her house was also in an extremely convenient location, becoming the hub of information. Vicente Grez states, Agueda and her daughter, Juana, sent secret letters between committees that were involved in organizing the revolt in their own home. She became responsible for the incoming and outgoing mail of exiled officials. The messages Agueda Monasterio De Lattapiat sent notified exiled officials of the rebel news of Chile. These notifications would help the exiles plan an attack on the Spaniards in Chile at the perfect time. Jean Lattapiat worked for Chile's independence, thus making him an exile. This added persecution of her husband put an emotional strain of Agueda. Agueda was well known in Chile due to her family history with Spanish Royalty and her husband's military background. While this did help with the goings and coming of rebels it made it difficult for her to send information to the officials. The Spanish government became suspicious of her spying and soon warned her that if she continued she would go to prison.

Time in Jail
After continuing to spy, send letters and being a hub for the revolution, she was thrown into prison. In late 1816 a second revolution was stirring from the patriots and the Royalists wanted her to reveal her contacts. They believed this would prevent another revolution. At the risk of her own life she refused to reveal her allies. The Spanish governor ordered gallows to be built in the city's main plaza, so she could see it from her cell. She was not allowed to speak to her family or any friends. This alone was painful but the interrogations were mentally straining and the lack of food weakened her physical strength. When the display of imminent death did not deter her, the Spanish governor, known to be "capable of ferocious cruelty" threatened to cut off her daughter's' hand as she watched. Not only would cutting off her hand affect Agueda's emotional state but Juana was very involved in the revolution as well. At this threat from the Spanish King Royalists stepped in to stop this insane plan. They released her from prison, and escorted Agueda and Juana home. This was not because of compassion for Agueda but her strong popularity with the people would most certainly cause an uprising.

Death
Agueda Monasterio De Lattapiat died a few days after her release from prison. The mental and emotional strain had proven to be fatal. She died on February 6, 1817, six days before the patriots Victory at Chacabuco on February 12, 1817.

title: John Ingamells

text:
John Anderson Stuart Ingamells (12 November 1934 – 19 November 2013) was a British art historian, writer, and former director of the Wallace Collection.

Early life and education
A native of Sussex, Ingamells attended Hastings and Eastbourne Grammar Schools, and subsequently graduated from Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge (then Fitzwilliam House) before undergoing National Service in Cyprus.

Career
Ingamells's career in the arts began in 1959 when he joined York Art Gallery as an art assistant to the curator Hans Hess, and later joined the art department of the National Museum of Wales as assistant keeper in 1963. Ingamells published The Davies Collection of French Art, a catalogue of the National Museum of Wales's French art collection in 1967, and upon its publication returned to York as director of the York Art Gallery. During Ingamells tenure in York he wrote and published articles on the French painter Philippe Mercier, with Robert Raines, and on the Italian portraitist Andrea Soldi for the Walpole Society.

Ingamells joined the Wallace Collection in London as assistant to the collection's director, Terence Hodgkinson, in 1977, before succeeding Hodgkinson as director in 1978. The Wallace Collection did not lend artworks or stage exhibitions in Ingamells initial years as director, and so Ingamell worked on improving the interiors of the museum and revising the Wallace Collection's catalogue.
