title: Scary Little Girls

text:
Scary Little Girls is an English production hub based in London and Cornwall and a charity registered in England and Wales under charity number 1136270. Most of their work revolves around literary and matrifocal themes, as well as a number of comedy and cabaret works with predominantly female casts. Rather than working primarily a set genre or using a regular group of practitioners, the company looks to seek out artists of all ages, backgrounds and interests from multiple artistic fields. A key tenet of SLG projects is that must headline, promote or employ more women than men.

SLG say that their three main objectives are:
1. To tell stories and promote characters which are little known, historically or culturally excluded, or usually told from one perspective only.
2. To actively promote the artistic work of women in all aspects of theatrical storytelling.
3. To share and disseminate the skills of artists for the benefit of both the artistic and the wider community.

History
Scary Little Girls was founded in 2002 by Rebecca Mordan and became an official charity in 2005 when Sharon Andrew joined as co-artistic director. Andrew left SLG in January 2017 to become a meditation teacher and founded the Cornish Meditation Centre, though she remains a creative consultant for SLG.

Between 2002 and 2005, Scary Little Girls did various school workshops, a production of Dracula (2003) with a female Dracula and a production of Maria Stuart (2005).
During this time, Scary Little Girls also produced Mother Mae I! Part of the resurgence of cabaret in London in the early 21st century, this piece features acts such as puppetry, musical comedy, stand up, grotesques and magic. The event is either hosted by Riot Showgrrls, Bunny Morethan or the de Plumes, and in keeping with SLG's ethos, most of the performers are women. The show later had residences at The Oak Bar in Newington Green and at the Camden Head in Angel.

Theatrical productions

General
Scary Little Girls has mainly been active in England. Previous shows include:
The Ladies' Cage (2007), which focuses on Anna Parnell and the women of the Ladies Land League. It is set in the 1890s in the English and Irish land wars of the era. The production uses research material by Professor Margaret Ward, and her previously unpublished research on Anna Parnell.

In 2007, the company was funded by the Duke of Cornwall Benevolent Fund to produce a series of "Positive Behavior" sessions at Ludgvan Community Primary School
Suffragettes: 100 Years (2009) was a joint project with Naomi Paxton. There were readings of plays by members of the Actresses' Franchise League, followed by talks by academics and actors. The event launched a book of plays, many of which had previously been unpublished.

Larger productions

Dracula: The Kisses
Dracula: The Kisses, with its all-female cast and new text, explores gender and queer themes in a gothic steampunk setting. The play was written by Rebecca Mordan and directed by Helen Tennison. The show's first run was 22–26 September 2014 at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall. The show then went up to Birmingham to perform at the mac Birmingham and performed there 30–31 October 2014.

Duffy Beats the Devil
In December 2015, Scary Little Girls put on their first pantomime in co-production with The Acorn Theater Penzance. Duffy Beats the Devil was an all-women pantomime that adapted a local folk story to Penzance.

Peter Pan
In 2016, Scary Little Girls put on an all-female production of JM Barrie’s original 1904 script for Peter Pan.

Later that year, Scary Little Girls worked with Ramps on the Moon, a deaf and disabled artist integration project, to workshop their all-female interpretation of Peter Pan. The workshop paired three SLG actors (hearing, able-bodied) and three ROTM actors (one deaf, two disabled) with Cornish designers and artists to form a creative team. These creative teams were tasked with turning Peter Pan into an indoor show for mid-scale touring and a diverse cast.

Before I Wake
Before I Wake was an original script that highlighted the real-life workers of the Heligan Gardens, many of whom later died in WWII.

Literary shows

Living Literature Walks
Living Literature Walks are theatrical walks that take a small group through a town to explore its history.

Living Literature Walks themes have included actresses and suffragettes (Stage Rights), the Mitford Sisters (In the Footsteps of the Mitfords), Cornish All Hallows (Something Wicked),  Cornish Christmas (Warm Hearths and Frosty Shores), Women of World War I (Women at War: The West End), Frankenstein (Frankenstein), railways (Strangers on a Train), banned texts (Salon du Chocolat), Mary Wollstonecraft (Wollstonecraft Walks), Agatha Christie (2018 Agatha Christie Festival), Suffrage heritage (Suffrage Salons).

In response to the Covid lockdowns of 2020, Scary Little Girls started Salon de la Vie, online interactive fortnightly cabarets that celebrated women’s art and literature.

Stories in the Shelves
In 2016, Scary Little Girls began touring Cornish libraries with their four most popular small scale shows. This tour expanded on a 2015/16 pilot of eight Cornish libraries to a tour of 19 regional libraries.

Literary Cabarets
Many of Scary Little Girls' shows have literary themes, including their Literary Cabarets and Living Literature Walks. Their literary cabarets include: The Best of Times: a Charles Dickens Literary Cabaret — a 3-woman cabaret based on the life of Charles Dickens that focuses on his personal life; Wilde Nights a show inspired by Oscar Wilde that was commissioned by Brighton Fringe; and The Full Brontë a homage to the Brontë sisters.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival
In 2008, Scary Little Girls brought The Riot Showgrrls Club to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The show was a pro-sex, anti-porn cabaret performed at The Gilded Balloon. It was written and performed by Rebecca Mordan and Kate Kerrow. In 2009, they then took the show to the Glastonbury Festival.

In 2013, the company went to the Fringe for The Full Bronte, a literary cabaret based on the lives of the Brontë sisters. The show was originally developed with The Theatre Chipping Norton before enjoying a sell-out run in Edinburgh and national tours.

In 2015, the company performed Salon du Chocolat at the Voodoo Rooms from 8–18 August. The salon included excerpts from banned books such as Lady Chatterley's Lover and The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall. It also included music by The Dresden Dolls and Annie Lennox.

Sea Cry Saga
A 2019 performance based on the history of the Vikings in Cornwall. The co-production with Creation Theatre was performed in the summer of 2019 on Chapel Porth beach.

Cultural work

Greenham Women Everywhere

Archiving
In 2018, Scary Little Girls began travelling the country for 18 months to interview the women who formed the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp. Funded by The Heritage Lottery South West, this is the largest collection of oral testimonies of the women yet collated, digitised and made available to the public.

Exhibition
Scary Little Girls then toured a pop-up Greenham exhibition co-produced with “The Heroine Collective” featuring question and answer sessions with some of the women who lived at the camp. The exhibition also allowed visitors to listen to a soundscape while exploring a Greenham-inspired tent which contained a collage of pictures, banners and slogans from the archives. The tour was funded by a public GoFundMe campaign.

Art
Scary Little Girls worked with Falmouth University students to create animations based on the experiences and stories recorded in the archives. They also used the archived footage to create a narrative game in which players can speak with women at the camp.

Independent organization
In 2019, Scary Little Girls partnered with The Heroine Collective to create Greenham Women Everywhere, a National Heritage Lottery Fund supported project, to bring this hugely important piece of often overlooked protest feminist heritage into the public realm. The work began with an 18-month project to interview the women who, between 1981 and 2000, formed the Greenham Common Peace Camp to protest against nuclear weapons being placed at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire.

Greenham Women Digital
In response to Covid, Scary Little Girls created GreenhamWomen.digital to allow audiences to explore Greenham at home with an interactive experience.

Anna Maria Fox
In 2016, Scary Little Girls embarked on a year of community-centred events celebrating the 200th birthday of Anna Maria Fox, one of Falmouth’s foremost historic figures and founder of The Poly. The project gathered oral testimonies from members of the Fox family, local residents with ties to Anna Maria's legacy, and people associated with the gardens, arts school buildings and societies she founded. These histories were then commemorated around the time with special blue fox plaques, linked together into a heritage trail by an app developed in partnership with Falmouth Arts School and University. Through the project, Scary Little Girls collaborated with The Poly, Falmouth University, Falmouth School of Art, Mawnan Church of England VA Primary School, the Fox family, Falmouth History Group and heritage volunteers to document Anna Maria Fox.

Wild Woman's Hour
In 2013, Scary Little Girls won an award from the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) for Wild Woman's Hour. Wild Woman's Hour is a monthly radio programme created and presented by women. It was jointly created by Scary Little Girls and Radio St. Austell Bay to give women a platform to discuss their experiences and help them develop new skills. The project was funded by Feast, a programme of the Cornwall Arts Centre Trust, an Arts Council National portfolio organization.

Film
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Scary Little Girls' filmed "Culling," a short film set in a dystopian future where a lifesaving cure is scarce and a doctor finds herself in a moral compromise. The screenplay was written and co-produced by Kate Kerrow. The film is set to release in late 2014.

R&D
In 2017, Scary Little Girls began developing Truth Before Everything, which explored the life of Josephine Butler, the Victorian sexual health and women’s rights campaigner, through a modern lens.

title: Battle of Brest (1592)

text:
The Battle of Brest () was fought on 19 July 1592 between the Ottoman forces of Hasan Pasha Predojević, Beglerbeg of Bosnia, and the Germanic and Croatian forces led by Tamás Erdődy, Ban of Croatia. The battle was a part of the Croatian–Ottoman wars and Ottoman–Habsburg wars between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg monarchy.

The Ottoman forces were about 7,000-8,000 men, and Erdödy's army consisted of 1,600 infantry and 400 cavalry from Styria,  500 men arrived under Erdödy's command, and an unknown number (several hundred) of peasants from Croatia. In total, the forces gathered at Erdödy's camp were about 3,000 men. Predojević arrived near Brest with the bulk of his army on 18/19 July at night, and on 19 July he separated his forces in order to attack. Croatian forces were crushed and  fled away from the battlefield. The Ottomans then attacked the Styrian forces and defeated them as well.

Following these successes, the Ottomans began to besiege the Sisak fortress.

title: Royal Sicilian Regiment

text:
The Sicilian Regiment (also known as The Royal Sicilian Regiment of Foot) was a light infantry regiment recruited from Sicily that served with the British Army during the Napoleonic wars, from 1806 to its disbandment in 1816.

The Detachment of Royal Sicilian Volunteers
At first, the unit was only a detachment of volunteers, raised in Sicily by Major Count Francesco Rivarola, once he had obtained permission from King Ferdinand I and the British commander General Sir John Stuart to recruit troops in Messina. This detachment, like several other foreign corps in British pay, was to be recruited from locals for the rank and file, with mixed British and Local officers.
The initial conditions were quite favourable, with a salary of a pound a day, subsistence of bread and meat, and treatment and training equal to those of the British infantry. Their first base was the Church and Monastery of S. Girolamo in Messina.

The detachment first experienced action within two months of its creation, when a small party (2 officers and 58 other ranks) at the Battle of Maida on July 4, 1806. With two companies of the Royal Corsican Rangers, they were assigned to the light brigade commanded by Colonel James Kempt. After this victorious first mission the detachment returned to Messina.

The following year, in March 1807, the Royal Sicilian Volunteers embarked for Constantinople in the mission led by General Alexander Mackenzie Fraser. This was later diverted to the Alexandria expedition of 1807. During this ill-fated mission the unit, now commanded by Colonel John Coape Sherbrooke, defended the Citadel of Qaitbay (which was nicknamed "the Cut") with a final balance of 10 killed and seven wounded. After the end of the expedition, they returned to Messina and were allowed to resume recruitment. By this time, the regiment was made of ten companies, with two more being added in 1808. They were then sent to Malta to reinforce the garrison.

The Royal Sicilian Regiment of Foot
in 1808 the detachment of volunteers was raised to a proper regiment and issued its own set of regimental orders. At a ceremony at Floriana Barracks, Malta, on 2 March 1809, they were also presented with their regimental colours (a white flag with a black flying eagle, crowned, bearing an escutcheon with the three fleurs-de-lys of the Bourbon dynasty) by General Sir Hildebrand Oakes, commander of the British forces in Malta. The Regiment remained in Malta under Colonel Ronald C. Ferguson, who was appointed to command the regiment on 25 January 1809.

At this point, each company of the regiment was formed as follows:
 4 officers
 6 sergeants
 5 corporals
 4 acting corporals
 1 artisan
 10 carabiniers (elite sharpshooters armed with rifles and sword bayonets)
 2 buglers
 68 privates

In 1809, the Sicilian Regiment took part in the capture of the Ionian Islands from the French (Zante, Ithaca, Cephalonia, and Cerigo),  moving up North to the island of  Vis in 1812, where the 1st battalion remained headquartered for some time alongside a company of Royal Artillery. The conquest of the islands was completed in 1814, with the Regiment seeing action in the capture of Corfu.

During its stay in garrison at Malta, the regiment distinguished itself for the management of the terrible plague of that year, being highly praised for it by Governor Thomas Maitland. The following year the Regiment was to be called back to Britain, but Napoleon's escape from Elba prevented it, and the Sicilian Regiment was called on to fight Joachim Murat in Italy.

The regiment was finally disbanded on March 24, 1816, as were many other foreign regiments in the British Army, such as the King's German Legion.

Uniform
In 1810 the Sicilian Regiment wore the scarlet British infantry coat with dark green facings, collar and cuffs, white lace, stovepipe shako with bugle badge (which may later have been replaced by a Tarleton helmet) with a green plume, white breeches and black 3/4 gaiters. Officers' "metal" was gold, with golden buttons with the royal crown and the words "Sicilian Regiment" around it.

title: Napoleon in Holland

text:
In late September 1811 Napoleon I visited the former Kingdom of Holland; he explained to Armand Augustin Louis de Caulaincourt his goals: a war at sea with England, to form a government, and ordering the "Routes impériales".

Holland as part of the First French Empire
The "Corsican" wanted to control every seaport in the area and on 16 March 1810 Bouches-de-l'Escaut and Bouches-du-Rhin became part of the French Empire. King Louis Bonaparte opposed his older brother when Napoleon's troops were not only occupying the coast but went more inland. (Oudinot had arrived with 20.000 soldiers to prevent smuggling and organize the blockade.) After Napoleon threatened to occupy Amsterdam Louis Bonaparte resigned on 1 July 1810 in favor of Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, his son. The Dutch départments were incorporated in the First French Empire by decree on 9 July; "with Imperial coastguards, customs and police allowed to operate the smuggling staunched at last." On 18 August 1810 Napoleon ordered (by decree) the Dutch army ceased to exist, and incorporated it into the French Imperial army.

On 1 January 1811 the country was divided into seven départements Zuyderzée, Bouches-de-la-Meuse, Yssel-Supérieur, Bouches-de-l'Yssel, Frise (1811), Ems-Occidental, and Ems-Oriental. Also the Batavian navy ceased to exist on that day.

On 18 August 1811 Napoleon ordered (by decree) that everybody without a  last name had to choose one before 1 January 1814.

Until 17 November 1813 Charles-François Lebrun, duc de Plaisance served as governor-general of Holland, reorganizing its départements more efficient and law impartial. He was assisted by the prefects Antoine de Celles, and Goswin de Stassart  with Alexander Gogel on Finance and François Jean-Baptiste d'Alphonse on Internal Affairs as "Intendant-General". The latter was responsible for the "Aperçu sur la Hollande", published in the end of April 1813, full with statistics and details.

Visit

On 24 September 1811 Napoleon arrived in Breskens, on the 27th in Vlissingen, a strategic city he had visited twice before (in 1803 and 1810). A few days later he met with his wife in Antwerp. Then they traveled north to the fortified cities of Willemstad and Hellevoetsluis. He was accompanied with 75 people and by general Dirk van Hogendorp, who would later become governor of Königsberg, Vilnius, Breslau and Hamburg (and mentioned as one of the few in Napoleon's will). On 5 October he arrived in Gorinchem; the next day he left for Utrecht. There he met with members of the Old Catholic Church and Jews. On 9 October he arrived in Amsterdam, the third capital of his empire and stayed a fortnight in the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. With the Dutch merchants he discussed the blockade and the forthcoming collapse of the British economy. He visited several wharfs, the military barracks in Quartier Saint Charles, the fortifications on Pampus, and the Trippenhuis. In the evening François-Joseph Talma gave a performance of Andromaque. Via Broek in Waterland and Medemblik Napoleon traveled to Den Helder, in Napoleon's view the most important naval base in the north. Vice-admiral Jan Willem de Winter, who later would be buried in the Panthéon, joined him to Texel, and discussed the possibilities to keep the English away from the Dutch coast. Because of a lack of funds earlier that year 4.000 Dutch fishermen were forced (through conscript) to join the fleet.

Back in Amsterdam Cornelis Rudolphus Theodorus Krayenhoff accompanied Napoleon to see the fortifications of Muiden and Naarden. On 22 October the universities of Utrecht, Harderwijk, Franeker were closed. Also the Athenaeums of Amsterdam and Deventer were shut. François Noël and George Cuvier proposed that Leiden and Groningen kept their universities. By decree all christian denominations received money from the municipality.

In Haarlem Napoleon visited the Teylers Museum and Paviljoen Welgelegen. On his way south he visited the locks in Katwijk aan Zee. In Leiden he talked to scientists as Sebald Justinus Brugmans, Gerard Sandifort and Matthijs Siegenbeek. In the Hague he met with Cornelis Felix van Maanen, the president of the Imperial High Court and responsible for introducing the Code Napoléon in the Netherlands. The couple stayed one night in Lange Voorhout Palace; in Rotterdam in Schielandshuis. Through Gouda, Oudewater, and Utrecht Napoleon arrived on Loo Palace. He visited the IJssel, Hattem, where Herman Willem Daendels' wife lived, and Zwolle. On the last day of October he left Nijmegen and travelled to Wesel.

Before Napoleon arrived a Cadastre and Civil registry were introduced.  After he left  the French tax and juridical system became effective on 1 January 1812.  Between 1810 and 1813 around 35.000 Dutchmen between 20 and 50 were forced to join his Grande Armée or his fleet; around 25.000 joined Napoleon to Russia. Most Dutchmen served in the 123rd, 124th, 125th and 126th Regiment d’Infanterie de Ligne, and 33e Régiment d’Infanterie Légère.

Legacy
Napoleon brought a new bureaucracy with him, such as the nationwide civil registration of births, marriages and deaths. This benefitted the government (tracking the coming of age of taxable and conscriptable persons), but also the people. The new civil records had more consistent detail and accessibility in central repositories than the scattered religious records people had relied on previously, and the separation of church and state in record keeping is now standard in most countries.

His instruction in 1811 obliging those without a surname to choose one had an unexpected legacy, however. While surnames are also standard today, many objected at the time.  In an act of defiance, they chose names in Dutch which were silly, rude or plain pornographic - knowing the new French bureaucrats could not understand them.  The milder names survive intact to this day, such as "De Hond" (The Dog), "Aardappel" (Potato), "Naaktgeboren" (born naked),  while the ruder names were largely toned down such as "Naakt In 't Veld" (Naked in the Field) - and its variants with interesting activities in said field - which are usually only seen today as "In 't Veld" (In the Field).

title: Giovanni Antonio Bellinzoni da Pesaro

text:
Giovanni Antonio Bellinzoni da Pesaro (1415-1477) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance.

Bellinzoni was born in Pesaro to the painter Giliolo di Giovanni Bellinzoni. He was taught by his father, and was influenced by Bartolomeo di Tommaso. There is evidence that he worked with his father on a church commission in Gradara (1429), and continued working with him through at least 1437. After his father died, Bellinzoni came into his own right, and was in high demand. He executed frescoes depicting Our Lady of Mercy and Our Lady Enthroned in the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Saltara. He painted a polyptych found in the collegiate church of Sant'Esuperanzio in Cingoli. He continued working steadily in and around Pesaro until his death in 1477. A biography written about his life won the Salimbeni Prize in 1991 for excellence in the writing of art history on an Italian subject.

title: Czas nieutracony

text:
Czas nieutracony (title variously translated as Time Not Wasted, Time Not Lost, or Time Saved) is a trilogy novel of Stanisław Lem in the style of Socialist realism. First published in 1955, it consists of the novels Hospital of the Transfiguration, Among the Dead ("Wśród umarłych"), and Return ("Powrót").

The first volume was finished in 1948, to be published by Gebethner i Wolff publisher, but it was stopped by censorship. Lem recalls endless travels to Warsaw to appease the censors, but eventually he had to add two more parts, and as a result the trilogy was published three times (1955, 1957, and 1965).

Hospital of the Transfiguration, finished in 1948, is a psychodrama about a young doctor, Stefan Trzyniecki, who worked in a psychiatric hospital during the Nazi occupation of Poland in the Second World War.

Among the Dead, finished in 1949, is the story of a young mathematical genius, Karol Wilk, who works in an automobile shop. Professors want to save his talent against the war, but he wants to join the resistance. In an interview, Lem says that the story was based on his own experience of the time: after the school he worked in car shops, and had contacts with the underground. In 2005 a part of this book, Operation "Reinhardt", was published in the collection volume  of Lem's complete works,  a tale about the Nazi plan for the deportation of Polish Jews into extermination camps and how it was being executed.

The novel Return was finished in 1950. An excerpt from it, Dyżur doktora Trzynieckiego ("Call Duty of Doctor Trzyniecki"), was also published in Lata czterdzieste. Dyktanda (2005).

title: Margaret Audley (FitzWarin)

text:
Margaret II Audley (died 1373) was a co-heiress to the feudal barony of Barnstaple in Devon, England.

Origins
Margaret was a daughter of James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley (1312/13–1386), seated at the manor of Tawstock, feudal baron of Barnstaple, by his second wife Isabel LeStrange, daughter of Roger le Strange, 5th Baron Strange (c. 1327–1382) of Knokyn. In 1370 James Audley settled the manor of Tawstock in tail male successively to his three sons from his second marriage, thus Margaret's brothers, Thomas, Rodeland and James, who all died childless. On the death of James Audley in 1386 the barony of Barnstaple, including two thirds of the manor of Tawstock, passed to his surviving son (from his first marriage) Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley (c.1328–1391), who died childless. Nicholas's co-heiresses were his two full-sisters Joan and Margaret I and his half-sister Margaret II, who inherited Tawstock:
Joan Audley (1331–1393) who married Sir John Tuchet (1327–1371),
Margaret I Audley (pre-1351–1410/11), who married Sir Roger Hillary,
Margaret II Audley, his half-sister, who, according to William Pole, inherited Tawstock by a special entail, wife of Fulk VIII FitzWarin, 4th Baron FitzWarin (1341–1374)

Inheritance
The lands which descended via Lady Margaret Audley to the FitzWarins and Bourchiers included:
Tawstock
Nymet Tracy,
St Marychurch,
Kingston,
Marwood,
Upexe
Creedy Wiger, near Crediton

Marriage and children

Margaret II Audley married Fulk VIII FitzWarin, 4th Baron FitzWarin (1341–1374). The FitzWarin family were powerful Marcher Lords seated at Whittington Castle in Shropshire and at Alveston in Gloucestershire. The title Baron FitzWarin was created by writ of summons for Fulk V FitzWarin in 1295. (For the descendants of Margaret Audley see Manor of Tawstock.)

Death and burial
Margaret died in 1373 and it is believed that she is represented by the oak effigy of a recumbent lady formerly in a niche in the north wall of St Peter's Church, Tawstock, from where it was removed to the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon in Barnstaple.

title: Abraham Godijn

text:
Abraham Godijn or Abraham Godyn (alternative spellings of family name: Goddijn and Abraham Goddyn) (1655/56 – after 1724) was a Flemish painter who, after a stay in Italy, worked for a time as a court painter in Prague where he produced magnificent Baroque frescos.  He later returned to Antwerp.

Life
Details about his life are scarce.  Abraham Godijn was probably born in 1655 or 1656 in Antwerp where he studied under the prominent history painter Hendrik Herregouts.  He became in 1681 a member of the 'Sodaliteit van de Bejaerde Jongmans', a fraternity for bachelors established by the Jesuit order.  Not long thereafter he travelled to Italy.  His work was well received in Rome where he became a court painter of the Pope and received the title of 'Painter of the Office of his Imperial and Catholic Majesty'.

He moved on to Prague in 1690 where he worked as a court painter until 1698.  He received a commission to paint frescos in the Troja Palace in Prague on which he worked with his brother Izaak.  They were part of a group of artists who worked in 1687 for Wenzel Albert Duke of Sternberg on the decoration of the Troja Palace in Prague.  This group included Flemish artists such as Johann Baptiste Bouttats.

He is recorded back in Antwerp around 1711 where he became a member of the local Guild of Saint Luke in the same year.  He was employed mainly on decorative commissions. He joined in 1716 the Antwerp Confrerie of Romanists when it was reconstituted on purely religious grounds.  It was a condition of membership of the Confrerie that the member had visited Rome. He and Jan Pieter van Bredael the Younger were the last artists to become members of the Confrerie.  In 1723 he became the dean of the Confrerie.  The date and place of his death are not known.

He had many pupils in Prague and in Antwerp, the most prominent of whom was Marten Jozef Geeraerts.

Work
Very few of his works have survived.  He was a painter of history and decorative commissions.

His best-known works are the frescos that he was commissioned to paint by Count Sternberk in the main room of the Troja Castle.  The paintings, which he executed in the period 1691 to 1697 with the assistance of his brother Izaak, are considered to be among the best examples of Baroque fresco painting in Northern Europe.  The fresco’s use illusionist effects and narrate in a triumphalist way the history of the Habsburg Dynasty.  The design follows the Baroque schema of architectural symbolism whereby the ceiling depicts the celestial world and the walls the terrestrial world.  The ceiling is decorated with celestial beings that were said to protect the Habsburg territories.  Underneath the curved surfaces below the ceiling, angels and putti are floating before trompe-l'œil architecture showing scenes from Habsburg history.  The walls depict the terrestrial world with one of the scenes on the shorter walls celebrating the victory of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor over the Turks.  In one scene we see the trompe-l'œil effect of a Turk falling down with his arms outstretched while his shadow is reflected on the painting (see illustration).  The longer wall holds statues or busts of the Habsburg rulers in grisaille.  In the fresco programme Abraham Godijn achieved a sophisticated and complex synthesis of fictionalist painting of architecture and lively figural scenes.

He painted a series of the seven sacraments for the monastery of Saint Martin in Pontoise (now in Pontoise Cathedral).

title: Sumba people

text:
The Sumba (or Sumbese) people are an ethnic group inhabiting Sumba Island in Indonesia, which is divided by four regencies, namely the Southwest Sumba Regency, West Sumba Regency, East Sumba Regency, and the East Sumba Regency. They refer to themselves as Tau Humba. The Sumbese have been able to retain much of their culture despite foreign influences that arrived long ago on the Lesser Sunda Islands.

Origin

Mythology
There are genealogical bonds between the Sumbese and those of the Sawu Island. According to a myth of origin, they come from two ancestors, Hawu Meha and Humba Meha. Hawu Meha gave birth to the Sawunese who initially lived in Sumba Island but later migrated to the small Sawu Island. The offspring of Humba Meha remained in Sumba.

History
The exact time Sumba Island began to populate is not known. There were theories that Sumba Island's most ancient inhabitants of the Australoids later assimilated with the Austronesian people. Proof of this was the appearance of the natives Sumba, which had some Australoid features. However, genetic studies have shown that Sumba people are a little different from other Austronesian people and the Australoid features could have been taken by their ancestors on the way to the island.

According to the Marapu mythology, the first people came down through the stairs from the sky to the north of the island. Geneticists claim that the ancestors of the Sumba people really did originally inhabit the northern coast, and only then followed by the rest of the Sumba Island. Since the end of Neolithic period, settlers have created megalithic structures. Moreover, this tradition continued until the 20th century.

In the Middle Ages, Sumba were active in trading valuable species of wood and fragrant resin. Due to the merchants from Arabia to the island, new breed of horses were introduced. The dry climate of the local Tropical savanna climate contributed to the expansion of horse breeding. It is assumed that Sumba people were dependent on the Javanese kingdom of Majapahit, then from other kingdom relations in Sumbawa and Sulawesi. In fact, the power was divided among the local leaders, with their never-ending struggle for power. This has resulted in the development of slavery.

In 1866, Sumba was attached to the colonial possessions of the Dutch East India Company. East of the island was greatly influenced by the colonial administration, while the west side maintained an archaic lifestyle. After an uprising in 1901, the Dutch had a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the economy and the establishment of a single administration.

In 1949, Sumba became part of independent Indonesia.

Religion

The traditional religion of the Marapu religion, which includes both ancestral worship and deity worship is still very much alive among the Sumbese society. Marapu is the philosophical center of Sumbese cultural expression and includes customary ceremonies, traditional places of worship (umaratu), traditional architecture, decorative carvings and textiles with its fashion styles such as hinggi and lau fabric, as well as its jewelry and weapons. Christianity begin to spread in the 19th century with the arrival of Christian missionaries. The majority of Christian believers belong to the Protestants.

Culture

The main occupation of Sumba people has long been agriculture. Dominated by slash-and-burn agriculture in the Tropical savanna climate, as well as livestock keeping. The climate with regular seasonal droughts have led to the formation of a special agricultural strategy where farmers simultaneously grow various crops at subsistence level such as rice, beans, tuber, corn, and so on. However, even today it is not always bountiful but it helps to produce just good enough harvests. The traditional staple diet are rice and cassava. Dutch missionaries and colonial officers have noted that hunger is often a cause for military conflicts. Sumba people also keep cows, buffalo, chickens, sheep and horses. The locals breed a species of small but hardy horses, and it is also well known to other islands of Indonesia. Traditional crafts includes weaving and stone carving.

The main type of settlement is village houses with their traditional defensive concept is to be built on hilltops and surrounded by dense thorny thickets. Frame bamboo huts are built on poles with walls overshadowing mats. Thatched roof has a complex structure designed to protect homes from rain and sun, as well as to provide natural ventilation in buildings.

The social strata in East Sumba Regency among the nobles (), priests () and the common folk (ata) still exists although it is not observed as strictly as in the past and outwardly it is no longer obviously seen in the physical appearance and the dress of a person. Today differences in attire indicate different levels of importance during events such as traditional celebrations, weddings and death ceremonies, where components of the attire that is used are newly made, while old or worn out clothing is usually used at home or for daily work.

In the past, the main clothing was ornamented sarong ikat, where both men and women covered them only at the lower part of the body. The most important part of the traditional attire of Sumba is located on the body cover in the form of large sheets of hinggi fabric for men and lau fabric for women. From the hinggi and lau fabrics which is made by weaving techniques and its application of muti and hada are revealed as various symbols in the social and economic context.

Historically, the eastern part of the island of Sumba is the hub of trade relations where people are connected with the outside world. Therefore in the second half of 2 millennium AD, complex social structure are formed here with a layer of high ranking soldiers and leaders that took the monarch title, raja. In western Sumba, only a small tribal groups are headed by selected leaders remained. In both parts of the island's main social role played by the major tribal communities, who occupied the village, controls the surrounding land and water sources. They were divided into small nuclear groups and large extended families. Kinship and inheritance are only counted on the patrilineal line.

Sumba people have a rich and relatively diverse oral folklore. Preserved traditional festivals, which includes horse race, bull sacrifices, complex funerary rituals and fights with spears. Pasola is the cultural feast of the Sumba people and is considered one of Indonesia's cultural richness, which is very rare and unique to the Sumba people. In West Sumba Regency, people come from far away just to watch the pasola, a competition whereby two teams compete in throwing blunted spears at each other. By the 20th century, Sumba people have already built megalithic tombs, most famously in Anakalang.

Traditional men's attire

As mentioned previously, the attire of the adult Sumba community tend to be based on the level of importance as well as the circle of environment in an event rather than hierarchical social status. However, there are some minor differences. For example, the attire of an aristocratic is usually made of finer cloth and accessories compared to a commoner, although the components and overall appearance are the same. By observing those aspects, the study of Sumba men's clothing are focused on traditional attires worn in huge events, ceremonies, festivals and of the sorts. It is because in occasions as such, men will dress in their best outlook. Sumba men's attire are consist of a headgear, body coverings and a number of accompanying embellishments and bladed weapon.

As for the covering of the body, two pieces of hinggi are used, namely hinggi kombu and hinggi kaworu. Hinggi kombu is worn on the hip and reinforced with a wide leather belt. Hinggi kaworu or sometimes hinggi raukadama is used as a complementary. Tiara patang is tied around the head, a type of headgear with certain loops and knots that displays a crest shape. This crest can be placed in front, on the left side or on the right side depending on the symbolic meaning that is intended. For example, a crest placed in front symbolizes wisdom and independence. The hinggi and tiara are made of woven cloth of ikat technique and pahikung technique. Especially headgear that is made with the pahikung weaving technique is called tiara pahudu.

A variety of decorations that are found on the hinggi and tiara especially those that related to living creature such as human abstract (skull), prawns, chicken, snake, dragon, crocodile, horse, fish, turtle, squid, deer, bird, buffalo and patterns that are influence by foreign cultures (Chinese and Dutch) such as dragon, three colored flag, crown and lion. All of them have their own meaning and symbol that derives from mythology, mind, as well as deep believe in Marapu. The color of the hinggi also reflects aesthetic value and social status. The best hinggi is hinggi kombu followed by hinggi kawaru, then hinggi raukadana and finally hinggi panda paingu.

Next, Sumba men's attire is completed with a Kabeala inserted of the left side of the belt. While a kanatar (bracelet) and a mutisalak (coral beads) is worn on the left wrist. Traditionally there is no footwear in the men's attire, however it is commonly used especially those in the city. The Kabeala is a symbol of masculinity. The mutisalak symbolizes economically-able and social ranking. Similarly as it is with other embellishments. Overall, the decorations and complementary embellishments of the attire is a symbol of wisdom, strength and kindness of a person.

Heirloom objects such as the marangga neck circle-pectoral and the gold jewelry madaka are also worn during special ceremony, although these objects are normally kept inside the attic of the house due to their supposed strong spiritual power.

Traditional women's attire

Festivals and ceremonial female attires of the Eastern Sumbese always involves a choice of several fabrics which are named according to style of the weaving techniques such as , ,  and . Decorative fabrics are used as lower part of the sarong covering up to the chest (lau pahudu kiku) and shoulders covered (taba huku) with the same color as the sarong. The head dress is decorated with plain-colored tiara that comes with hiduhai or hai kara. Above the forehead is pinned with metal jewelry such as gold or gilding which called Marangga. While the ear are decorated with mamuli jewelry in the form of golden necklaces are also used on the neck and dangles right up to the chest. As the men carries the Kabeala, the women carries the Kahidi Yutu knife when leaving one's residence or when attending formal occasions.

title: The Legend of Qin (film)

text:
The Legend of Qin 3D Ancient Dragon Spirit () is a 2014 Chinese animated fantasy adventure wuxia film written and directed by Robin Shen.

An unlikely quartet - a boy, a young rebel and descendant of a reviled war criminal, a mysterious girl and descendant of the Divine Dragon and the kingdom's greatest warrior - cross the desert to find the hidden kingdom of Loulan to prevent Emperor Qin from awakening an ancient weapon that will return China to war. The events in the film take place before the events in The Legend of Qin (TV series).

Plot

Background
Thousands of years ago, the supreme Goddess forged a fallen meteor into a powerful sword, to be used by Chi You to bring peace. However he became corrupted by its power and a terrible war broke out. The land was devastated by the now fearless warlord Chi You. A young, wise and courageous man, Huang Di (Yellow Emperor) led his people against Chi You with the help of the Supreme Goddess. He wielded the power of the Dragon and eventually won the war. The Supreme Goddess sealed Huang Di's ultimate weapon, a gem called the Dragons Soul, in Loulan in far western China. Now the Qin Emperor seeks the Demon Robot which is the last of 81 bronze giants created by Chi You.

Story
In a remote border town, the rebel Shaoyu and his troops are observing the actions of the Qin army. A mischievous young boy, Tianming is entrusted with a metallic ball by his Uncle Lu, machinery expert. However, he is under observation by the Qin and is attacked by the Yin Yang Priestesses of Birth and Dearth, accompanied by Gongshu Chou and his miniature machinery lizards. Tianming escapes and is saved from the Qin soldiers by Ge Nie and his sword Rainbow Abyss. Wei Zhuang and his Quicksand Group arrive to seize the metallic ball, but Ne Gie enables Tianming to escape. Tianming then encounters Shaoyu and they fight over the metallic ball which transforms into the tiny metal-eating dragon Pi Xiu. While trying to catch Pi Xiu, its owner, the mysterious Xiao Li arrives. She wears a necklace containing a blue gem called the Tears of a Goddess. All three are captured by Qin troops although Pi Xiu escapes. Pi Xiu frees the boys, and Xiao Li rescues them on a flying machinery dragon, but it crashes in the desert. Pursued through the desert by a Qin General and the Quicksand Group, the three are saved by Ne Gie. They accidentally find the secret entrance to Loulan through underground rivers in the desert.

In Loulan, the High Priestess says Pi Xiu contains the gem called the Dragon's Soul. She denounces Xiao Li as a descendant of the treacherous Lord Chi and she is imprisoned with the boys and Ge Nie. The Quicksand Group arrive and seize the powerful Chi You sword while Gongshu Chou gets the Dragons Soul gem which gives him control over the Demon Robot. Meanwhile Tianming, Shaoyu and Xiao Li escape and climb inside the robot to stop it. Ne Gie manages to defeat Wei Zhuang and takes the sword. With the help of Pi Xiu, Xiao Li uses the sword to immobilize the robot and save Loulan. Finally, Ne Gie reveals to Tianming that the boy's father asked Ne Gie to protect him. As Xiao Li' body slowly fades away, the Priestess realizes that she was the physical embodiment of the Tears of the Goddess.

title: Model United Nations in the United States

text:
Model United Nations is a popular extracurricular activity for middle school, high school, and college students in the United States. The U.S. was where Model UN originated and was popularized, and is also where many of the world's most respected conferences are held. The U.S. has several regional centers of Model UN, each with its own distinct style.

Traditionally, Model UN has been associated with affluent schools and communities, but in recent years, the activity has expanded to reach more students.

Model UN by Region
Model United Nations is popular across the United States, with MUN clubs and conferences being found in every region. However, because Model UN is decentralized and has grown autonomously, there are significant differences in how MUN is done between regions.

East Coast
Centered on the New York and Washington metropolitan areas, both of which play host to a multitude of prestigious, largely university-hosted conferences, including those of Georgetown University (Georgetown International Relations Association) and George Washington University (GWCIA). Other notable conferences in the region include ILMUNC, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, YMUN, hosted by Yale; HMUN, hosted by Harvard; JHUMUNC at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore; and a number of conferences hosted in New York City, with ceremonies held at the United Nations General Assembly, including WIMUN, hosted by the World Federation of United Nations Associations; NHSMUN; NMUN; and FWWMUN, hosted by the World Council for Youth and Diplomacy being the only government-backed Model UN program in the world.

West Coast
The West Coast is known for its Model United Nations programs. Naturally stressing the academic side of Model UN, conferences greatly value well-written position papers, not just factoring them into awards decisions, but also giving dedicated awards for them. The popularity of Model United Nations, as well as for the high quality of delegates. West Coast conferences are run by universities, high schools, and interscholastic organizations. BruinMUN, SMUNC (Stanford MUN Conference), BMUN (Berkeley MUN), McKennaMUN, and SCMUN are popular college conferences for high school delegates. For example, SCMUN (hosted by the University of Southern California), offers advanced debate for high school delegates who are hoping to glean substantive and academic value from Model United Nations conferences. Additionally, high school-run conferences such as from the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Teresa High School's SCVMUN, one of the oldest MUN conferences on the west coast at 50 years of conferences held at the school, Huntington Beach High School's Surf City and Novice Conferences, CHSMUN, and Mira Costa's LAIMUN are all nationally recognized conferences and programs in the top 50 US High School Rankings.

In Washington State, most Model UN activities, conferences, and clubs are situated within the Washington Eastside. Four of the largest and most active annual conferences in the region, PACMUN (Pacific MUN), EDUMUN (Educational MUN), KINGMUN (King County MUN), and SeattleMUN, are overseen and managed by Model United Nations Northwest, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The area is dotted with independently-run conferences, such as WOWMUN and WASMUN.

Midwest
Despite the fact that the Midwest has fewer conferences than the more established East and West Coast circuits, it still has a very developed and distinct Model UN culture that is dominated by small regional conferences (such as Midwest Model UN (MMUN), Model UN at the University of Illinois (MUNI), and large international-level conferences centered around Chicago). While some major conferences are located in Michigan and Missouri, most are located in Illinois, specifically in Chicago.

Chicago is a major hub of the Model UN community at large, but maintains a strong sense of independence, and is known to have a characteristic focus on realism and innovative crisis simulations. MUN is mostly seen as an educational political exercise, where the students understanding of the world and power is emphasized, and where awards and resolution writing tend to be de-emphasized. As a result, the Midwest's crisis conferences are well-regarded, with ChoMUN and CIMUN being particularly well known for this style.

Model United Nations of the University of Chicago (MUNUC) is the largest high school conference in the Midwest, featuring 33 different committees in 2021 for its 33rd session, with several thousand delegates in attendance. The Model United Nations Development Organization (MUNDO)  runs the Chicago International Model United Nations (CIMUN), which featured 24 committees, and welcomed 1300 high school delegates in 2014, its 11th annual conference. CIMUN is known to be among the most innovative and fastest growing Model UN's in the US and features some of the most realistic simulations available for high school students.

The Chicago Model United Nations (ChoMUN), also organized by the University of Chicago, is a prestigious college-level Model UN conference in the region, being well known for its unique simulations, and is known to be one of the best college-level crisis conferences in the US. The American Model United Nations (AMUN), an independent organization, is the largest college-level conference in the Midwest and featured 15 committees. In 2014, AMUN welcomed 1400 delegates from around the US and the globe, and also celebrated its 25th anniversary.

In recent years, more Midwestern teams have also traveled to conferences on the East Coast, raising their profile nationally. High schools, such as Adlai E. Stevenson High School, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, St. Ignatius College Prep, and Glenbrook South High School, have performed well at large East Coast conferences and have become particularly well-known. University teams have also been successful, such as UChicago's team which in both 2013 and 2014 was ranked the best college Model UN team in North America, the first team to twice achieve this feat. Other teams like  Alma College, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and University of Illinois - Chicago have made a name for themselves at larger conferences like Future We Want Model UN (FWWMUN), National Model UN (NMUN), American Model UN (AMUN), and at regional conferences like Midwest Model UN (MMUN).

In addition to the city of Chicago, several Minnesota teams have become major players in conferences around the country. In the 2010–2011 season, Cambridge-Isanti finished the year ranked 14th in the best delegate national rankings after finishing the equivalent of second at MUNUC and winning awards at UMMUC.   Edina High School hosts the only student-run conference in Minnesota, often attracting up to four hundred high school delegates from over twelve metropolitan schools. Edina High School and Cambridge-Isanti High School are still ranked in the top 150 high school programs in the country by Best Delegate. Other notable Minnesota teams include Minnetonka High School and the Blake School.

South
Middle school, high school, and collegiate Model UN are all fairly popular in the Southern United States. Model UN in the American South can be divided into three sub-regions: Texas, the Southeast (most notably, Florida), and the Southwest. Texas and the Southeast have robust teams and conference circuits, with Houston notably having its largest high school conference running for over 45 years. The Southwest is still in the early stages of establishing its Model UN circuit, with only one team—Mountain View High School—earning a spot on the 2018 Best Delegate Top 150 Best High School Teams rankings.

Texas is a uniquely-active state for Model UN. Due to the state's size and the majority of teams hailing from public schools, Model UN is almost always conducted "in-state" due to cost concerns and familiarity of procedure. This is in contrast to teams in the East Coast/Mid-Atlantic region, where a larger number of private schools, universities, and conferences allow Model UN to operate on a more multi-state basis. Despite this, Texas enjoys significant Model UN activity, with major conferences regularly hitting 2,000+ attendees. Some of its largest conferences include: Central Texas Model United Nations (CTMUN) hosted by the University of Texas at Austin, Houston Area Model United Nations (HAMUN) hosted by the University of Houston and assisted by other Texas colleges, and Model United Nations San Antonio (MUNSA). Notable high school programs from Texas include: The Village School, William P. Clements High School, Westlake High School, the Liberal Arts and Sciences Academy, Lake Travis High School, Obra D. Tompkins High School, Southlake Carroll Senior High School, and The Colony High School (TCCMUN).

Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico, students are bilingual and speeches in the committee are therefore allowed to be made in either English or Spanish.

After a speech, if a delegate wishes to ask a question of the speaker they must ask “Delegates, will you accept my question?” before being able to address the speaker. This is a practice isolated to Puerto Rico, and delegates may be penalized by their chairs if they fail to adhere to it.

Chairs in Puerto Rico adopt a more activist approach, directing the flow of debate and banging their gavels often. This is in comparison to the facilitator style of chairing more common in the rest of the United States which allows delegates to direct more of the flow of debate.

Synopsis
Yugo has been telling her father a bedtime story repeatedly that she was the only human visitor to a fantastical kingdom in the clouds where she befriended two animals, Lala and Uncle Bear. The three fought the evil Tiger General, who had risen up against the kingdom's ruler. It was the former ruler's dying wish that Lala would replace him.
Missing her friends, Yugo finds her way back to the fantastical kingdom where she finds a disheartened Uncle Bear. He is sad that Lala is leaving him to move into the palace; and Lala is not sure that she is the right animal to rule the kingdom. Meanwhile, a new sinister plot is developing...
The kingdom's ancient behemoths have shrunken in size after their annual migration. Investigating, Yugo, Lala and Uncle Bear are trapped in the underground kingdom of the rats where all the shrunken animals have ended up.

title: Shemay

text:
Shemay (also Shemai) was an ancient Egyptian official and later vizier toward the end of the 8th Dynasty (22nd century BCE) during the First Intermediate Period, mainly known for being the beneficiary of most of the Coptos Decrees. His career has been interpreted as a glaring sign of the extreme weakness of the central power, forced to bestow great privileges to maintain the loyalty of powerful local governors. Shemay is buried in a mudbrick mastaba just south of Coptos.

Attestations
Shemay is known primarily from the Coptos Decrees, a series of decrees by various king of the 8th Dynasty granting titles and honours to him and his family. Shemay is also known from several rock inscriptions in the Wadi Hammamat and from his tomb located just south of Coptos.

Life

Career
The earliest mention of Shemay came from the three Coptos Decrees “g” to “i” which are generally attributed to pharaoh Neferkaure, and one of these is datable to his Year 4. These documents were displayed in the temple of Min at Coptos and were addressed to the Governor of Upper Egypt Shemay – who had been nomarch of the Two Falcons nome with Coptos as capital – and concerning administrative matters about the cult of pharaoh Pepi II and the temple of Min. The earliest of the three decrees mention the new nomarch of Coptos named Idy who very likely was the same person of Idy, son of Shemay; furthermore, the latest of the three decrees ensured to Shemay the responsibility over the 22 nomes of Upper Egypt.

Shortly after, king Neferkaure was succeeded by Neferkauhor and Shemay managed to marry his eldest daughter, princess Nebyet; in a single day of his Year 1 (possibly in the same day of his accession to the throne, the "Month 2 of Peret, Day 20") Neferkauhor promulgated 8 of the Coptos Decrees (“j” to “q”), the beneficiary of which was always the newly promoted vizier Shemay as well as various member of his family.

The first decree concerned Nebyet's particular status — as well as Shemay's one, for being the son-in-law of the new pharaoh. Subsequent decrees established other new benefits for Shemay's sons: Idy again filled the vacuum left by his father, occupying the office of Governor of Upper Egypt (although he was responsible only of the 7 southernmost nomes of Upper Egypt) while another son earned a title in the temple of Min. Shemay and Nebyet also gained some privilege that were unprecedented for non-royal people: in fact, some priests were assigned to the funerary cult of their ka, and the couple was allowed to make their own mortuary monuments from royal-exclusively red granite.

It seems that Shemay was already defunct when the last of the Coptos Decrees (“r”) was issued by the Horus Djemedjibtawy, who has been tentatively identified with both Wadjkare and Neferirkare: in fact it was addressed to the vizier Idy, providing evidence that once again the son followed his father's footsteps.

Titles
In life, he gathered an impressive number of titles and offices, in a decree he is called "...the god's father, beloved of god, king's (foster) child, pyramid-town overseer and vizier, overseer of scribes of the king's document, governor of Upper Egypt, sole companion, chamberlain, herdsman of Hierakonpolis, chief of El Kab, lector priest, overseer of the priest of Min". Further high titles are found in his tomb iry-pat (hereditary prince) and Haty-a (count).

Tomb

Excavations
Shemay is buried in a tomb  south of Coptos on a hill within the flood plain, in modern Kom el-Koffar also known as Kom el-Momanien and Naga el-Kom. The tomb was first excavated in 1956 by Labib Habachi and then from 1979 until 1982 by Rabia Hamdan. More recent excavation works have taken place in 2000 and 2002.

Layout
The tomb consists of a large mudbrick mastaba with a pillared hall in its center, which is entered from the North side via a forecourt and an  long causeway. All these structures are paved with limestone while the walls of the pillared hall were adorned with offering scenes. A red granite false door is located on the south-east wall of the hall. Several stelae representing Shemay were discovered in niches on the external northern face of the mastaba were offerings to Shemay would possibly have been made.

An inscription on the East wall of the hall is dated to the first year of the reign of Neferkauhor, fourth month of the Shemu season, day 2. This inscription is the sole contemporary attestation of Neferkauhor beyond the Coptos Decrees. The upper register of the wall shows on the left Shemay with his wife. In front of him are workmen dragging a stone. In the middle register is shown the slaughtering of a bull and the dragging of another stone. In this register king Neferkauhor is mentioned twice. The lowest register shows a boat fight in the marshes. Another inscription details what Shemay's son Idy did for his father, giving offerings and ordering repair works in the necropolis.
