Plot summary
This movie takes place in an unspecified time period of China, but it is one where the famous heroes of Liangshan Marsh, the 108 Bandits, are currently active. A strange girl named Xu Jin Ling (Betty Sun) possessing a powerful yueqin, which doubles as a weapon for self-defense, offends the prominent businessman, Mr. Zhao (Guo Degang), by humiliating his niece using said musical instrument. As punishment for this act of insolence, Mr. Zhao arranges the marriage between Jin Ling and their home village's ugliest resident, Mao Dai Long (Suet Lam). However, Mr. Zhao's lecherous and conniving cousin, Shi Wen Sheng (Ronald Cheng), takes notice of the beautiful girl, and plots with Mr. Zhao to be rid of Mao Dai Long so that Jin Ling will become Wen Sheng's wife. An unexpected turn of events occur, however, because when Dai Long introduces Jin Ling to his little stepbrother, Mao Song (Cheng Yee Kin), they immediately recognize each other, as they have met each other a long time ago when they were but children. Another series of unexpected events start happening in this seemingly uneventful village, as when Mao Song is helpless to save Dai Long from the crime he was framed by Wen Sheng for and is unable to save Jin Ling from becoming Wen Sheng's wife, he runs into two oddly dressed men, to whom the audience is introduced to as two space aliens named Tranzor and Shakespeare of Planet B16, but introduce themselves to the destitute and somewhat suicidal man as two immortal fairies who will help him address his grievances. For the moment, it seemed as if everything was going the way Mao Song wanted, but things then take a turn for the worse when Jin Ling runs away from home since she refuses adamantly to acknowledge the hideous-looking Dai Long as her husband, though Dai Long didn't really care about that, Mr. Zhao and Wen Sheng hire the 108 Bandits, who are portrayed in this movie not as valiant heroes, but as money-grubbing mercenaries, to kill Jin Ling, and an alien martial artist (Hu Ge) who has been living undercover among humanity for decades and serves a powerful warlord of Planet B16 named the Black Emperor, is finally activated and deployed to assassinate Mao Song, for Mao Song is, in reality, a B16 Alien who's the legitimate heir to the leadership of B16, but was abandoned on Earth by his family under the guise of a human child so that the Black Emperor won't be able to find him.

A great chase occurs with the 108 Bandits being the pursuers and Mao Song and Jin Ling, whose face was horrendously scarred by an acid spray from one of the Bandits, being the quarry. They manage to elude the mercenaries, but Jin Ling attempts to commit suicide by falling off a cliff, as she was unwilling to be married to Mao Song now that her face was rendered hideous, and she was on tenterhooks that Mao Song would have to endure humiliation and being the back end of nasty comments and jokes for marrying such an ugly girl. Mao Song jumped into the dark abyss after her, intending to die alongside her, and it was in this moment that his identity as the leader of Planet B16 had been realized, and when they were seconds away from hitting the bottom, Mao Song sprouted wings of light from his back, flew back up the cliff, and healed Jin Ling's face in the meantime, making her face beautiful again. In this scene, everybody, except for Tranzor and Shakespeare who are drunk at a brothel, shows up; Mr. Zhao and Wen Sheng show up, hidden in the forest behind the cliff's edge, the 108 Bandits stand by the cliff's edge, staring in awe and wonder at the space ship that was rising out of the ground behind Mao Song and Jin Ling, Mao Dai Long appears, following the yueqin that transformed into a hovering robot probe, and the alien assassin, who was disguised as a female school teacher, shows up to kill Mao Song. A duel takes place at the bottom of the cliff, with the alien assassin and Mao Song seeming equally matched, but Mao Song at the last moment turned the tide of the battle in his favor by borrowing the strengths and fighting skills of all the 108 Bandits. After defeating this foe, Mao Song flies back up to the ship where he weds his beloved and offers the 108 Bandits new homes and jobs on Planet B16. Mao Dai Long remains in China with two pretty B16 girls to be his wives after they altered his appearance to make him handsome, and Mr. Zhao and Wen Sheng lament on their mistakes.

At the very end of the movie, the people of the village are seen everywhere lighting incense sticks in honor of a jade Buddha statue they erected some time after witnessing the B16 space ship rising from the ground, which bore a strong resemblance to the Buddha when they saw it from a distance.

Reception
As of 16 February, it had grossed US$4.63 million.

title: Auguste Marie Taunay

text:
Auguste-Marie Taunay (1768–1824) was a French sculptor.

Early years

Auguste-Marie Taunay was born in Paris in 1768.
He studied sculpture under Jean Guillaume Moitte (1746–1810) at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
At the age of 24 he was awarded the first prize for Sculpture, the Prix de Rome, on 1 September 1792 for a bas-relief.
Due to the turmoil of the early phases of the French Revolution (1789–1799) he did not travel to Rome.
He worked as a sculptor at the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, a porcelain works, from 1802 to 1807.
He decorated the Louvre Palace stairway and made a statue of The Cuirassier (1807) for the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.
Between 1808 and 1814 he exhibited in several Salons.
He made a well-known statue of Napoleon with his arms crossed.

Brazil
Taunay was a member of the Missão Artística Francesa  (French Artistic Mission) organized by Joachim Lebreton which brought a group of artists to Brazil, arriving on 25 March 1816. These included the painter Jean-Baptiste Debret (1768-1848), Auguste's brother the painter Nicolas Antoine Taunay (1755-1830),
the engraver Charles-Simon Pradier (1786-1847)), the sculptor Marc Ferrez (1788-1850), his brother the engraver Zepherin Ferrez (1797-1851) and the architect Auguste-Henri-Victor Grandjean de Montigny (1776-1850). They were to form the nucleus of a royal art academy in Brazil.

The arrival of the French group caused some controversy among the local Portuguese intelligentsia, who were concerned at the excessive influence being given to the French in developing the cultural life of Brazil. In turn, the French were unhappy with political appointments such as the appointment of Henrique José da Silva as head of the school in place of Lebreton. This was the reason why Tauney's brother, Nicholas Antoine Taunay, returned to France.

Taunay was appointed professor of sculpture at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Rio, but did not take up the post.
In 1818 he worked with Grandjean de Montigny and Debret on the decorations of the Largo do Paço for the celebrations of the accession of King John VI of Portugal. For this he made a sculpture of Minerva protecting the Bust of the Monarch with her Aegis.
He made a plaster bust of Luís de Camões, now held by the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute in Rio de Janeiro.

Taunay died in Rio de Janeiro in 1824.

Works
The best-known works of Taunay include:
Jean-Baptiste Muiron, chef de battalion (1774-1796), marble bust, in the Palace of Versailles
Antoine-Louis-Charles, comte de Lasalle-général (1775-1809), marble sculpture, 1st Empire period (1804-1814) (height ), in the Palace of Versailles
Bust of Antoine-Louis-Charles, Earl Lasalle, General Division (1775-1809), modeled in plaster, in the Palace of Versailles
Decoration of the Escalier du Midi in the Louvre
Decoration of the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel

title: Adolphe Gutmann

text:
Adolphe Gutmann (originally Wilhelm Adolf Gutmann) (12 January 1819 – 27 October 1882) was a German pianist and composer who was a pupil and friend of Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt.

Life
Gutmann was born in Heidelberg. He came to Paris in 1834, at the age of 15, to study with Chopin, becoming one of the composer's favourites. He performed in concert with Chopin, Liszt, Charles-Valentin Alkan and Pierre-Joseph Zimmerman, Alkan's transcription of part of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony at a concert of 1838. Gutmann was also the dedicatee of Chopin's Scherzo, Op. 39, published in 1839.

Gutmann acted as copyist for a number of Chopin's works, and acted as a courier to take Chopin's letters to his family in Warsaw. Gutmann's own set of Etudes (his Op. 12) is dedicated to Chopin. He was present at Chopin's death bed and preserved the glass from which Chopin took his last drink of water. Both he and Alkan were bequeathed the notes that Chopin had compiled in preparation for a piano teaching method. Gutmann died in La Spezia.

Works
Inspired by the style of his master, Gutmann is the author of several nocturnes, and twelve studies, studies characteristics that seem to announce the coming of Impressionism (two of his studies are called Sea, and The Storm, and are respective replicas of the study No. 1, Op. 25, by Chopin, and the Révolutionnaire). All his works have been quite popular in their time; but faded thereafter.

title: The Travel Show (TV programme)

text:
The Travel Show is a international feed of BBC News channel travel programme. The new programme launched on 27 April 2013 and has the same programme title as a 1990s holiday programme broadcast on BBC Two.

Using a network of correspondents in London, Tokyo, Sydney, New York and Kuala Lumpur, the programme aims to provide unique insight into the world of travel. It first aired in the UK in late February, after Winter Olympics coverage, in a Friday morning slot on BBC Two. A Sunday evening slot was also added on the UK feed of BBC News channel in April 2014 and BBC iPlayer.

Presenters

Occasionally other BBC correspondents and travel bloggers appear as presenters such as blind backpacker Tony Giles, Emeline Nsingi Nkosi and Eva zu Beck.

The Travel Show (1988–1997)
The Travel Show name was first used by the BBC for a BBC 2 holiday programme presented by Penny Junor between 1988 and 1997. Like the BBC News programme, one of the main contributors to this magazine-style programme was the news channel's Global Guru Simon Calder, who joined The Travel Show in the last few years of its run to present reports. Before Calder, Matthew Collins and John Thornes were the presenters reporting from various locations around the world with John Kettley on hand to give weather advice for the week ahead, while an early 1990s refresh saw Carol Smillie and Paddy Haycocks join the reporting team, with The Travel Show providing a 'Moanline' for viewers to get in-touch with travel complaints.

In addition to the main programme, The Travel Show Guides was a half-hour spin-off which just focused on one location per week (for example, Ibiza or Southern California) whilst The Travel Show Traveller and The Travel Show UK Mini Guides were short-form filler programmes compiled from the main programme with the latter featuring a voice-over from Roger Wilkes.

title: Erich Hippke

text:
Erich Hippke (7 March 1888 – 10 June 1969) was a German Air Force General Surgeon with the rank of Generaloberstabsarzt. He is most noted as Chief Medical Officer of the Luftwaffe and subsequent Inspector of the Medical Matters for the Luftwaffe during World War II.

Early military career
Erich Hippke was born on March 7, 1888, in the town of Prökuls, East Prussia. Erich enrolled into the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Akademie für das militärärztliche Bildungswesen (Kaiser Wilhelms Academy for military medical education; de), an elite academy for military surgeons in Berlin. Hippke joined the German Army on April 1, 1907, and was officially assigned to the 4th Guard Infantry Regiment (4. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß, de) stationed in Berlin-Moabit.

On March 1, 1912, during his senior years in the academy, Hippke was commissioned Unterarzt (officer candidate) on and assigned to Grenadier-Regiment 9. Hippke graduated on June 19, 1913, and served with his regiment in its garrisons to Stargard, Bromberg, and Demmin. He was also promoted to the rank of Assistenzarzt (equal to Leutnant) on August 18, 1913.

With his new promotion, Hippke transferred to the 54th Infantry Regiment "von der Goltz" (Infanterie-Regiment von der Goltz (7. Pommersches) Nr.54) stationed in Kolberg as a troop medic.

Due to the start of World War I, Hippke's regiment was sent to the Eastern front as a part of the 36th Reserve Division under the command of Generalleutnant Kurt Kruge (de). Hippke subsequently participated in the Battle of Gumbinnen and the Battle of Tannenberg. In September 1915, he was transferred to the Division Staff and appointed Adjutant to the Division Surgeon. In this capacity, Hippke was promoted to the rank of Oberarzt (Oberleutnant) on October 13, 1915, and saw combat in Galicia.

In October 1916, Hippke was transferred to the Heeresgruppe Below under the command of General Otto von Below, serving on the Macedonian front. Hippke spent almost a year with this unit before he was appointed Adjutant of the Army Surgeon within the 11th Army under the command of General Kuno von Steuben.

In July 1917, Hippke was sent to the Palestine front, where he was assigned to the staff of Heeresgruppe F under the command of General Erich von Falkenhayn. He was tasked again with the capacity of Adjutant of the Army Surgeon.

For his service during the War, Hippke was decorated with both classes of Iron Cross, the Prussian Red Cross Medal 3rd Class, and the Ottoman War Medal.

World War II
In the time of Nazi Germany, from 1937 to December 1943, Hippke was the Chief Medical Officer of the Luftwaffe. He was also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research. Hippke was the true source of the ideas for the so-called "freezing experiments" conducted on behalf of the Luftwaffe, at Dachau concentration camp by Sigmund Rascher.

He was succeeded by Oskar Schröder on May 15, 1944.

Postwar
Hippke was arrested in December 1946. By this time, he was a general practitioner working in Hamburg. He avoided the Doctors' Trial and left Nuremberg without charge. He was never charged with a crime, but American investigators of Nazi medical atrocities later concluded that he was actually the source of the idea for the deadly "freezing experiments" on humans.

title: Mastram

text:
Mastram () is 2014 Indian Hindi-language biographical film directed by Akhilesh Jaiswal, and starring Rahul Bagga and Tara Alisha Berry. The film is about an aspiring litterateur turning into an initially reluctant finally full-fledged pornographic writer, is inspired by the anonymous author of popular pulp fiction and sex stories in Hindi, only known as Mastram. These books sold at railway station stalls and small roadside and pavement shops in North India through the 1980s and 90s. Jaiswal  makes his directorial debut with the film. The film also marks the debut of actress Tara Alisha Berry. The film features rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh's Gujarati Single "Achko Machko" and is also the theme song of the movie's trailer which was released on 14 Feb 2014 by Bohra Bros on YouTube.

The film premiered at Mumbai Film Festival in October 2013, ahead of its theatrical release on 9 May 2014.

Plot
Rajaram is a small town bank clerk, who dreams of travelling to Delhi and becoming a reputed writer. His literature aspirations are supported by none except his naive wife, Renu. He finally leaves his job to become a full-time writer, but cannot find a publisher for his book. One publisher agrees only if he would add sensational elements or masala to his dull tale. He is unable to decode what masala means until he meets Chacha, an eccentric, old village womanizer who shows him the spicier side of life. He adopts the pseudonym, Mastram, and churns out his publicly taboo erotic novel series, which become best-sellers. He slowly starts becoming successful, however, all of the credit is attributed to "Mastram", not him.

Production
Talking about the mystery in film, director Akhilesh Jaiswal says, "My film is a fictional account of the writer’s life. Even I am curious to know who the real brain behind the book is, or the real face behind the author, as you put it". It is not a pornographic film and he hopes to get an A Certificate from Censor Board without any cuts.

Critical reception
Film critic Subhash K. Jha gave it 3 stars and said that Mastram brings a meditative melancholy to the porn writer's life. We get to meet the man behind the orgasms. We feel the pain beneath the porn.

title: The Best of Johnny Mathis 1975–1980

text:
The Best of Johnny Mathis 1975–1980 is a compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the fall of 1980 by Columbia Records. This collection is similar to his last major compilation, 1972's Johnny Mathis' All-Time Greatest Hits, in that it excludes many of his American radio hits of this period ("Arianne", "Begin the Beguine", "Do Me Wrong, But Do Me", "Loving You-Losing You", "One Day in Your Life", "Stardust", "Yellow Roses on Her Gown", and "You're All I Need to Get By", all of which made the Adult Contemporary chart in Billboard
magazine) in favor of songs that made the UK singles chart ("Gone, Gone, Gone", "When a Child Is Born")  or contemporary hits by other people ("Just the Way You Are", "With You I'm Born Again", "You Light Up My Life").

The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated December 27, 1980, and remained there for seven weeks, peaking at number 140.

In 1984 it was released on compact disc, and it received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America on October 21, 1994.

Reception

Although his retrospective review on Allmusic is generally positive, Stephen Thomas Erlewine is dismayed by the selections for the album, pointing out that the two pop songs by Mathis that made the Billboard Hot 100 during the period covered here were duets with Deniece Williams: their number one hit "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" and number 47 follow-up "You're All I Need to Get By". "The low number of hits would make Best of Johnny Mathis (1975-1980) unfamiliar territory for anyone but diehard fans, and matters are made worse by the fact that [of these two pop chart entries] only the number one single...is featured on the record."

Track listing

 "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late"  performed with Deniece Williams  (Nat Kipner, John Vallins) – 2:59

title: Norris City Cemetery

text:
Norris City Cemetery is located at the corner of Stanbridge Street and Norris City Avenue in East Norriton Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Founded in the early 1860s, the cemetery came under township ownership in the late 1980s after falling into disrepair, and is now maintained as part of East Norriton's parks system.

Its development was part of the so-called Rural Cemetery Movement, and as such was nonsectarian and was not overseen by any specific municipality. Most graves were populated between 1880 and 1920, but the cemetery has remained active since. The cemetery is most ordinary: there are few elaborate graves and only one notable person buried here, Ephraim Acker (1827–1903), a US Congress Representative.

Markus Eberhard Emminger (21 October 1808, in Biberach an der Riß – 27 November 1885, in Biberach an der Riß) was a German lithographer and landscape painter.

Life
His father was a glazier. As a student at elementary school, he took art lessons from Johann Baptist Pflug until the age of thirteen. At that time, he was apprenticed to the book publisher Georg Ebner in Stuttgart where he received lessons in business, as well as drawing and engraving. He was self-taught as a lithographer and was allowed to work independently, even during his apprenticeship. After that, he became a student of Johann Friedrich Dieterich. During these years he produced many genre paintings based on sketches by other artists.

Thanks to a royal grant, he travelled through Italy for a year, then settled in Munich in 1836, where he spent another year studying at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1837, he passed his final examinations.

Although he was now married, he continued to lead a wandering life, travelling throughout the Rhine Valley, Southern Germany, Italy and Austria, producing lithographs of all the areas he visited. In 1854, he resettled in Munich. His son and his wife both died in 1873. He remarried shortly thereafter and returned to Stuttgart. He was there for only five years, however, before he moved again; back to his home town of Biberach, where he died from a fit of apoplexy.

title: President of the University of Notre Dame

text:
The president of the University of Notre Dame is the chief administrator of the university. The president is selected by the board of trustees of the university, which has the general power of governance of the institution, and is second only to the university fellows. The president of the university is ex officio member of both the board of trustees and the fellows.

The first president was Edward Sorin, who was also the founder of the university, who started his term in 1844 when the university received its charter. Since then, there have been 17 presidents, the current one being John I. Jenkins, whose term started in 2005. Throughout the history of the university, the presidents have spearheaded change expansion. The longest serving president was Theodore Hesburgh, who first started enrolling women undergraduates, increased the financial endowment, expanded campus construction, and greatly increased the university's academic reputation during his 35 year long term.

The president is selected for a renewable 5-year term by the trustees of the university among the priests of the Congregation of Holy Cross. Many of the presidents have been Notre Dame alumni.

The president must be a priest of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, which founded the University. Holy Cross priests take a vow of poverty, so the presidential salary is paid directly to the order.

title: Dun Mor Vaul

text:
Dun Mor Vaul (or simply Dun Mor; ) is an iron-age broch located  on the north coast of the island of Tiree, in Scotland.

Description
Dun Mor () is situated on a rocky knoll on the northern coast of island of Tiree, about 1 kilometre northwest of the hamlet of Vaul. The broch consists of a drystone tower with an internal diameter of 9.2 metres with walls about 4.5 metres thick. The outer face of the wall survives to a maximum height of 2.2 metres. The entrance is on the southeast side. On the north side of the entrance passage is a small side-chamber, of a type usually called a "guard cell". The intramural cavity is well-preserved, and there are the remains of a staircase, which led to the upper levels, on the north side.

The broch was additionally protected by two outer lines of defence, one drawn round the irregular margin of the summit on all sides, and the other taking the form of a hornwork which restricted access from the landward side of the knoll.

Excavations
The broch was partly excavated around 1880, and it was almost completely excavated by E. W. MacKie in 1962–4.

The excavations showed that there had been two phases of occupation before the broch was built. In the earliest phase (5th century BC) there appears to have been a wooden hut, which may have been destroyed by fire. This was followed by a more extensive settlement occupying a larger proportion of the summit area. After an interval of unknown duration (possibly several centuries) the knoll was reoccupied and the construction of the broch and its outworks began.

The construction of the broch was dated by radiocarbon dating to the 1st century AD. It appears to have been used initially as a communal refuge, but by the 2nd century it had become instead the permanent residence of a single family. Before long the upper storeys of the broch wall were demolished, and a round house (or an aisled wheel-house) was constructed within the interior. It seems the broch was abandoned in the mid 3rd-century, the latest datable artefact from the interior being a fragment of a Roman glass bowl made in the Rhineland between 160 and 250 AD.

The finds include large quantities of native pottery sherds; fragments of Roman glass and samian-ware and coarse-ware vessels; bronze and silver spiral finger-rings; rotary querns; quartzite strike-lights; glass ring-beads; tools and dice of bone; and several tools used in weaving and the working of metals. The finds are now in the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow.

title: National Guitar Museum

text:
The National Guitar Museum (NGM) is a museum dedicated to the guitar's history, evolution, and cultural impact; and to promoting and preserving the guitar's legacy. The NGM addresses the history of the guitar as it has evolved from ancient stringed instruments to the wide variety of instruments created over the past 200 years. It focuses on the guitar's inventors, innovators, and influential players, along with the science and technology behind the guitar's construction, shape, and sound.

The NGM does not have a permanent location, but rather exhibits its collection in a touring format.

Overview
The museum was founded by author and former Guitar magazine editor-in-chief HP Newquist, who serves as its executive director. It is the first museum to focus solely on all aspects of the guitar and to include instruments from most of the world's stringed instrument manufacturers. The NGM's collection focuses on representative instruments from a vast array of historical makers and modern luthiers.

The NGM's board of advisors includes guitarists Tony Iommi, Steve Howe, Steve Vai, Ritchie Blackmore, Liona Boyd, Al Di Meola, and Joe Bonamassa. Johnny Winter served on the board prior to his death. Curators include guitar industry veterans Rich Maloof and Pete Prown.

History
In 2011, the NGM collection began touring the United States in a variety of exhibitions.

In 2012, it was announced that at the completion of its exhibition tours, one U.S. city was expected to be chosen as the permanent home of the National Guitar Museum. As of 2023, a permanent home for the NGM has still not been chosen.

title: Los Robles Archaeological District

text:
The Los Robles Archaeological District is located in Arizona's Ironwood Forest National Monument and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 11, 1989. The district is nearly 13,000 acres and contains over 100 historic and prehistoric archaeological sites, including the Los Robles Platform Mound Community and a trincheras.

In 2003, George H. Johnson and his Johnson International Inc. illegally bulldozed 270 acres of state trust land in and near Los Robles, causing an estimated $8,000,000 in damage. Several sites were completely destroyed, including areas within the Los Robles Platform Mound Community. In addition, Johnson International Inc. destroyed over 40,000 protected plants, contaminated local water sources by illegally dumping pollutants, and was responsible for the deaths of at least twenty-one endangered Desert bighorn sheep, and the injury of several others.

title: Claire Mahl Moore

text:
Claire Mahl Moore (1917–1988) was an American artist known for her printmaking. Her career spanned from the 1930s through the 1980s. Moore took classes at the Art Students League, under the instructors Charles Locke, Harry Wickey, and Thomas Hart Benton. During the Great Depression, she worked as a printmaker for the Federal Art Project under the New Deal.

She was a member of the "initial nucleus" of The Siqueiros Experimental Workshop in New York, 1936. The Workshop was organized by the Mexican artist, David Alfaro Siqueiros who was then visiting New York as a Mexican delegate to the American Artists' Congress. Other artists in this "initial nucleus" include Harold Lehman, Sande McCoy, Jackson Pollock, Axel Horn, George Cox, Lou Ferstadt, Luis Arenal, Antonio Pujol, Conrado Vasquez, Jose Guatierrez, and Roberto Berdecio. The Workshop was "ready to raise the standard of a true revolutionary art program, and its two main goals were firstly, to be a base for exploration of "modern art techniques", and secondly, to "create art for the people." The workshop was organized along collective principles, with artists meeting and collaborating on works.

Mahl's work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Hudson Walker Gallery, and the Julien Levy Gallery. Her work is in the collections of the British Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum,

title: Iron rod incident

text:
The Iron rod incident () was an incident of football hooliganism at the De Meer Stadion of Dutch football club Ajax Amsterdam on 27 September 1989. During a home match against Austria Wien, the Austrian goalkeeper Franz Wohlfahrt was struck by an iron rod launched onto the pitch by an Ajax supporter from the F-side hooligan group. As a result, Ajax had to concede the match by default and were excluded from competing in European football for a year.

Earlier that year, Ajax chairman Ton Harmsen had been succeeded by Michael van Praag, the son of Harmsen's predecessor Jaap van Praag. Under the initiative of the new chairman, popular Dutch celebrities would accompany the team on match days as public speakers, in order to promote play fair. After tv personality Frank Masmeijer and singer Harry Slinger had previously accompanied the team on a match, it was Dutch comedian Freek de Jonge's turn during the UEFA Cup match between Ajax and Austria Wien. Ajax had already lost the away match against Austria Wien 1–0 and therefore would need at least a 1–0 victory at home. At the time of the match Austria made the headlines because the country's president at that time, Kurt Waldheim, appeared to have been involved in deportations and actions against partisans during World War II, which he had concealed in his autobiography.

Phonecall for Waldheim
Freek De Jonge started the evening as a host with an innocent joke about Ajax defender Danny Blind. During the second half of the match however he jokingly stated that a telephone call had been received for Mr. Waldheim, who was kindly requested to call back Simon Wiesenthal. After 90 minutes of play Ajax were up 1–0, but during extra time Austria Wien were able to equalize which would ultimately lead to the ejection of Ajax. The hooligan firm F-side of Ajax began to chant: "Nazis! Nazis!", and 17-year-old Ajax-supporter Gerald M. launched an iron rod from the fence onto the pitch, which hit Austria Wien keeper Franz Wohlfahrt in the back, after which the match was halted at a score of 1–1. The next day De Jonge expressed to the press his regret in making his comments, but denied any responsibility for the actions that occurred in the stadium henceforth. According to journalist Nico Scheepmaker, De Jonge had gone too far, following his previous comments on the Hillsborough disaster as well as the 1977 Dutch school hostage crisis.

Consequences
Ajax lost the home match by default with a score line of 3–0 after the actions that took place, and were subsequently banned from competing in European football for two years due to the incident (1990–1992). They challenged the last ruling of UEFA, upon which the punishment was reduced to one year (1990–1991) plus the obligation to play the next three European home matches at least 100 km away from Amsterdam. The appeal committee let the reprehensible behavior of Freek de Jonge weigh in on the decision to lighten the punishment. Ajax settled with the thrower of the iron rod after he had been sentenced in 1996 to pay half a million guilders for damages plus 15 thousand guilders costs. Gerald M. had been arrested a few days after the incident and was sentenced in late 1989 to five months in prison, and two months probation. After serving his sentence, he asked Ajax permission to apply for a yearly subscription, which was granted.

The rod incident, along with the nail bombs incident shortly afterwards, made it clear that the safety at the De Meer Stadion was hopelessly outdated, and it indirectly influenced the club's decision to build the Amsterdam Arena.
