title: United Nations Evaluation Group

text:
The United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) is a platform for the different United Nations (UN) evaluation offices to discuss evaluation issues and to share evaluation knowledge. It suggests norms and standards for all evaluation offices in the UN and delivers thematic reports concerning monitoring and evaluation. It has 45 members and 3 observers listed below.

History
UNEG was created in January 1984 with the name ‘Inter-Agency Working Group on Evaluation’ (IAWG). It was part of the UN consultative group on programme questions (CCPOQ). It is a group of heads of UN evaluation offices which meet to discuss system wide evaluation issues. Its genesis owes much to the work of the Joint Inspection Unit (JIU) in particular Inspector Earl Sohm, JIU/REP/85/10 and JIU/REP/85/11.

Much of its initial work was on designing, testing and introducing an M&E system for UN operational activities in particular technical assistance projects. This was done by 1986. Most of UN operational activities were then funded by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) which provided the secretariat and the leadership for the Group.

Policy and Strategy evaluation were paid insufficient attention initially. {An evaluation of the IAWG in the year 2000 pointed out that it needed to return to its proactive function with specific deliverables that could be used by the UN evaluation system in their work. The recommendations of the report highlighted the need for structured interaction among UNEG members, annual work planning, work groups to move the agenda forward and developing a website to enhance knowledge sharing. In 2003, the IAWG changed its name to the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG).

Mission
The mission on UNEG is to promote and support the independence, credibility and usefulness of the evaluation units in the UN system. According to its Strategy 2014-2019, UNEG's work is focused on four strategic objectives:

1) Evaluation functions and products of UN entities meet the UNEG Norms and Standards for evaluation;

2) UN entities and partners use evaluation in support of accountability and programme learning;

3) Evaluation informs UN system-wide initiatives and emerging demands; and

4) UNEG benefits from and contributes to an enhanced global evaluation profession.

Membership
UNEG currently has 46 members and 3 observers. Membership reserved for the units responsible for evaluation in the UN system, including the specialized agencies, funds, programmes and affiliated organizations. These units should have, or aspire to have, the required professional knowledge, experience and responsibility for evaluation as defined by the updated UNEG Norms and Standards for Evaluation (2016).

Pietro Neri-Baraldi (1828 – 29 June 1902) was an Italian opera singer who sang leading tenor roles throughout Europe. He was born in Minerbio, a small town near Bologna and made his debut at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna in 1850. By 1853 he was engaged as the leading tenor at the Teatro del Corso where he sang in the first performances in Bologna of Il trovatore (as Manrico), Rigoletto (as the Duke of Mantua), and Elena da Feltre (as Ubaldo). He then appeared in Paris during the 1854/1855 season singing at both the Théâtre-Italien and the Paris Opéra.

title: Deivapiravi (1960 film)

text:
Deivapiravi () is a 1960 Indian Tamil-language film, directed by Krishnan–Panju. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan, Padmini, S. S. Rajendran, K. A. Thangavelu and M. N. Rajam. The film was dubbed and released in Telugu as Anumanam and released on 24 June 1961. At the 8th National Film Awards, the film won the All India Certificate of Merit for the Third Best Feature Film. It was remade the same year in Hindi as Bindya, and in 1965 in Sinhala as Sekaya.

Plot
Madhavan is a well-to-do businessman and respectable bigwig in the society. He has a brother Manohar. Madhavan gets married to Thangam and her brother, Ramu, comes to live with them getting educated with the help of Madhavan. Unlike Manohar who turns out to be good-for-nothing, Ramu works hard earning the respect of Madhavan. Ramu and Manohar, both are in love with Thilagam while Thilagam prefers Ramu. Seeing this as a betrayal, Thangam convinces Ramu to give up Thilagam for Manohar.

Unknown to the rest of them, Nandhini is Madhavan's step sister. He decides to help her by asking her to live with them. She starts to manipulate the household by raking in controversies between Ramu and Manohar, Madhavan and Thangam by insinuating an affair between her and Nair while making it look like she is having an affair with Madhavan subtly there by aiming to take over the family's wealth.

Ultimately, Ramu clears the air by forcing an open confrontation where everyone speaks out their mind thereby coming out clean about their individual relationships. Madhavan confesses that Nandhini is his sister while Thangam says that she and Nair too treated each other as sibilings. Ramu make it clear to Manohar that he will not marry Thilagam. Seeing her plot break open, Nandhini runs away with family gold only to be caught by Nair and Manohar. Thangam, however, decides to give off the family jewels to her so that she can get married and have a normal life.

Cast

Production
Deivapiravi was written by K. S. Gopalakrishnan. A writer accused him of story theft and Gopalakrishnan was taken to court, but was exonerated after his story was found to be original. S. P. Muthuraman who went on to become a popular director made his acting debut with this film portraying a small role of Angamuthu's son.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by R. Sudarsanam. The lyrics were written by Thanjai N. Ramaiah Dass, Udumalai Narayana Kavi, Kavi Rajagopal and K. S. Gopalakrishnan.

Release and reception
Deivapiravi was released on 13 April 1960. The Indian Express praised the performances of the lead actors, and called Thangavelu's comedy a major attraction. The film was a success, running for over 100 days in theatres.

Remakes
Before AVM remade Deivapiravi in Hindi as Bindya in the same year, Ganesan advised them not to remake the film as he felt it would not come well. However AVM ignored him and went on to make the film in Hindi. Bindya was a failure and many years later, Saravanan expressed regret for ignoring Ganesan's advice. The film was later remade in Sinhala as Sekaya in 1965.

title: Kalamandalam Sivan Namboodiri

text:
Kalamandalam Sivan Namboodiri is an Indian classical theatre performer, the first person from outside chakyar community to practice Koodiyattam, from Kerala. He was awarded the Padma Shri, in 2012, for his contributions to the art of Koodiyattam, by the Government of India.

Biography

Sivan Namboodiri was born in 1950 to Ammankotu Manakkal Madhavan Namboodiri, a farmer and Devaki Antharjanam, as the youngest of their three sons, at Shornur, Palakkad, in the south Indian state of Kerala. He had his early schooling at Kanayam and Vadanamkurissi, but, being a poor student, had to drop out of school at Grade 7. He joined Kerala Kalamandalam, in 1965, at the age of 14, to learn Kathakali.

During that period, the renowned Koodiyattam maestro, Painkulam Raman Chakyar, was in the process of setting up the Koodiyattam department at Kalamandalam and, on the insistence of Vallathol Narayana Menon, the founder of the institute, and K. N. Pisharody, Sivan changed his course to study Koodiyattam, as one of the two students of the first batch of Koodiyattam. Sivan was fortunate to learn the art from the masters such as Painkulam Raman Chakyar, Kalamandalam Ramankutty Nair (Kathakali thespian), and Kalamandalam Krishnankutty Poduval (Chenda exponent).

After the initial study of 6 years, Sivan enrolled for the post graduate course of 2 years at Kalamandalam. This was followed by an advanced course in New Delhi, with the help of a scholarship from the Department of Culture, Government of India.

In 1975, he joined Kerala Kalamandalam as an instructor in the Faculty of Koodiyattam and, at present, is the most experienced teacher there. In 1980, University of Calicut invited him to be a part of the School of Drama where is working as a visiting professor since then.

Sivan Namboodiri is married to Indira, Sanskrit teacher at a local school and the couple has two children. The family lives in Palakkad.

Career highlights
The highlight of Sivan Namboodiri's career came in Paris, when he performed two acts, Kailasoddhaaranam (Ravana lifting Mount Kailasa) and Parvathiviraham (Goddess Parvathi's separation from Lord Siva),  before a UNESCO jury to select art forms to be considered for inclusion in UNESCO's Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The jury approved the inclusion of Koodiyattam subsequent to the show.

He also performed in Germany at the Cologne Festival in 1980.

Legacy
Sivan Namboodiri was the first artist from outside the chakyar community to perform Koodiyattam. He is also considered as the first person to learn Koodiyattam in an institutional way; till his entry, Koodiyattam was taught under the gurukula system. Another first attributed to Sivan Namboodiri is that he was the first male to perform Nangyar Koothu which was the domain of nangiars, the ladies from Nambiar community. He is also credited with revolutionizing the Koodiyattam costumes and accompanying music.

title: Bréguet Type II

text:
The Bréguet Type II was the second fixed-wing aircraft design produced by Louis Bréguet. Built during late 1909, it was soon discarded in favour of his next design, the Bréguet Type III

Design
Like Bréguet's previous design, the Bréguet Type I, the structure was principally of metal, although less highly stressed parts such as the tail surfaces used wood.  It had a triangular section fuselage of wire-braced steel tube with the  air-cooled Renault engine at the front: this drove a three-bladed propeller which was connected to the engine's camshaft and so revolved at half the speed of the engine.  The wings had pressed aluminium ribs threaded onto a mainspar of  diameter steel tube.  These were connected by a single interplane strut on either side.  Tail surfaces consisted of a pair of horizontal surfaces, the lower carried on the rear of the fuselage and the upper by a pair of  booms running back from the centre section of the upper wing. The upper surface was  movable to achieve pitch control. A rectangular balanced rudder was mounted between the two horizontal surfaces.  In addition a pair of small horizontal stabilising surfaces were mounted at the front of the aircraft either side of the engine.  The pilot's seat was positioned halfway between the wings and the tail surfaces: a passenger seat was fitted behind the engine. The main undercarriage employed oleo-pneumatic suspension, and there was a single steerable tailwheel.

It was intended that lateral stability would be achieved by automatic differential movement of the two halves of the upper wing, this feature being the subject of a patent filed by Bréguet.  In a turn, the greater speed of the outer wing would cause the angle of attack to be reduced,  so eliminating the increase in lift that the greater speed would otherwise have produced.  Lateral control was effected by a pair of mid-gap ailerons mounted on the interplane struts: these were evidently not effective and Bréguet intended to use another method for lateral control in his next design.

Operational history
Its  first recorded flight was made on 5 January 1910, when Louis Breguest made three circuits of the flying field at La Brayelle near Douai. and on 16 January 1910 it made a flight of     However, by April 1910 Bréguet was flying his next design, the Type III.

title: 2014–15 SSV Jahn Regensburg season

text:
The 2014–15 SSV Jahn Regensburg season is the 108th season in the club's football history. In 2014–15, the club played in the 3. Liga, the third tier of German football. This was the last season in the season in the old Jahnstadion, the team's home since 1926. In the next season, Regensburg would play in the new Continental Arena which was built at that time.

Review and events
The club's management was not fully content with the results of manager Thomas Stratos and so his contract was not renewed at the end of the season. The new manager is former TSV 1860 Munich manager Alexander Schmidt.

Jahn Regensburg took part in the 2014–15 Bavarian Cup, where the winner would qualify for the 2015–16 DFB-Pokal. However, they were eliminated in the Round of 16 by SpVgg SV Weiden by a 1–0 deficit.

After six defeats in a row and the subsequent drop to the last place, the manager was heavily criticized. The club's management was convinced that not the manager was to blame for the bad results, but that the available players were not good enough. They signed several new players in October and the team won on matchday 14 against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, but was not able to leave the last place in the table. After a loss and a draw on matchday 15 and 16, the team lost 4–1 in Chemnitz after a pathetic performance. This led to the suspension of manager Alexander Schmidt. U23 manager Ilija Dzepina and youth coordinator Marcus Jahn managed the team until a new manager was signed. On 18 November 2014, Christian Brand was appointed as new manager of the club. Brand set a new start record for a manager of Jahn Regensburg with five losses in five matches. The club acquired eight new players in the winter transfer window and was able to start the new year with a victory. But the team was not able to leave the last place in the league and relegation to the Regionalliga Bayern was unavoidable already three matchdays before the end of the season.

title: Harry van Gestel

text:
Harry van Gestel (born 12 May 1953) is a Dutch artist and painter living and working in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in his gallery and studio in the city centre. The artist is most known for his large abstract works, which range from 2 x 2 meters up to 3 x 6 meters large. He has lived and created his work around the globe, in places such as Taiwan, Europe, the United States, and South America, before returning to Amsterdam.

His Life Journey
Harry van Gestel was born in Reusel. He majored his studies in botany and soon after graduating, he combined his creative instinct with his studies. From the 1980s to the 1990s, he focused on design and decorating projects for multinationals and large shopping malls throughout the Netherlands and the United States. In the late 1980s he moved to New York City to devote his life to his art.

Works
Van Gestel's works are very diverse and cannot be placed in just one -ism. In 2006 Sotheby's Amsterdam organised an exhibition giving a complete overview of his oeuvre and stated: “His oeuvre is vast and significant…….Harry van Gestel is beyond any -ism” (Mr. Max Hemelraad, art historian and former Business Development Director at Sotheby's).
The works stand for freedom in a broad sense of the word. The artist states: “With every new work I try to surpass myself to a new way to astonish the viewer with composition that is embedded and communicates freedom”.
His works are pure and his creations are not restricted by any conventions whatsoever. The artist describes his works as self-portraits in the sense that the artwork reveals a mirror image of the soul, energy and emotion of the artist at the moment of creation.

None of the artist's works have a title. Van Gestel states that a title for his works, that portray emotion through pureness of soul, does not add anything to the artwork and so only takes away all essential emotional value from the imagination of the spectator.

Shows
In 1981 Harry van Gestel started working on international shows. Throughout the following years, his works were shown in the Netherlands, Mexico, Bahamas, Colombia and the United States. Afterward, in 1984, he worked on multiple projects in Switzerland. Between 1990 and 1993 he traveled throughout the United States working on a range of art workshops.

"Over the years people from all corners of the globe have visited us and have given us the chance to inspire each other.  A “sharing" factor in many ways has always prevailed in the gallery, sharing your art, energy, thoughts or space”.

title: Venus in Furs (1969 Dallamano film)

text:
Venus in Furs () (also known as Devil in the Flesh) is a 1969 Italian erotic drama film  directed by Massimo Dallamano. Based on the novel Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the film was first released in 1969 in Germany under the title Venus im Pelz. In Italy, the film did not pass the censorship examination because of the sex scenes deemed too rough and all attempts to overcome the censorship's remarks, with various cut versions, were unsuccessful.

The film was eventually released in 1973 under the title Venere nuda, but even this cut version was confiscated after a few days for contempt of decency. In 1975, the film was finally released in Italian cinemas under the title Le malizie di Venere,  in a heavily censored version which was altered by a new editing and by the introduction of new scenes filmed by Paolo Heusch, which turned the film plot into a giallo. The new title was a specific reference to lead actress Laura Antonelli's box-office success in Malizia (1973).

Synopsis
Based on the infamous novel by Leopold Sacher-Masoch, the film follows the perverted passions of a young couple as Severin watches the beautiful Wanda writhing naked amongst furs. Being a peeping tom triggers a whirlpool of emotions due to a childhood episode which punishes voyeurism with pain.

title: Börje Church

text:
Börje Church () is a Lutheran church in the Archdiocese of Uppsala in Uppsala County, Sweden, located west of Uppsala.

History and architecture

The Christian church at Börje was probably preceded by a Norse religious site, perhaps a spring or a grove. The main parts of presently visible church (nave, choir and sacristy) were probably erected between 1310 and 1360, and built by the local community. The main models for the new church were Uppsala Cathedral and the Holy Trinity Church, also in Uppsala. The church porch was added before the middle of the 15th century. It received internal brick vaulting circa 1430-60. In the 1730s, the church windows were enlarged and the church whitewashed internally. Additional changes were made in 1796-97, and again in 1840-57. Renovations have been carried out in 1911-12, 1951, 1953 and 1959. During the 1953 renovation, medieval frescos were uncovered and restored.

The main construction material of the church is fieldstone, with brick used for the windows and portal openings. The roof is made of shake. Internally, the vaults of the church are decorated with frescos. They date from the late 15th or early 16th century. They belong to a group of church frescos made by the so-called Tierp school; other frescos by this group of artists can be found for example in Roslags-Bro and Sånga Church. The frescos in Börje Church are unusually well preserved.

The church houses a number of noteworthy items. The main altarpiece dates from the 1840s, but preserved in the church is also the original, medieval carved wooden altarpiece of the church. It was made in Uppsala, probably at the end of the 15th century, and depicts the Last Judgement and figures of saints. The baptismal font was made on Gotland and dates from the 13th or 14th century. The church also has a processional cross from the 14th century and a thurible made of bronze, dating from the 13th century. There is also an iron candlestick from the 16th century. The pews and pulpit are later, dating from the 17th century.

There is a runestone immured in the church cemetery wall.

Adjacent to the church lies the well-preserved former parsonage, with a main building erected 1785.

title: Mea Allan

text:
Mea Allan (23 June 1909 – 29 August 1982), born Mary Eleanor Allan, was a journalist who worked for the Glasgow Herald. She also wrote a novel, Change of Heart (1943), set in the future. In 1967 she was awarded the Leverhulme Research Scholarship to write about the botanists William Hooker and Joseph Dalton Hooker.

Early life and education
Allan was born in Bearsden, Dumbartonshire, Scotland, the daughter of Robert Greenoak Allan and Helen (née Maitland). She was educated at Park School, Glasgow, and the Central School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art.

Career

Journalism
Allan was a journalist, the first woman war correspondent to be permanently accredited to the British Forces and the first woman new editor in Fleet Street. She worked for the Glasgow Herald during and after World War II. She was living in London in 1940, where she described the wartime tension as "You felt you really were walking with death—death in front of you and death hovering in the skies." She reported from Germany in 1945, about death camp survivors and displaced persons temporarily sheltered at Belsen after the war, awaiting rehabilitation, family reunification, and transportation.

Other writing
Allan's first book was a novel, Lonely (1942). Her second novel, Change of Heart, written in 1943, is about an alternate history (then future) in which the Allies win World War II, but are threatened by a resurgent Nazism.

Much of Allan's writing was about botany, including histories of gardens, biographies of famous gardeners and plant collectors, and guides for gardeners. In 1967 she was awarded the Leverhulme Research Scholarship to write on the botanists William Hooker and Joseph Dalton Hooker. In 1977 she wrote a book about Darwin's use of flowers to develop his theory of natural selection.

Death and legacy
Allan died in 1982, in Walberswick, Suffolk, England. A collection of her papers was donated to the Centre for the Conservation of Historic Parks and Gardens at York University. There are other papers of hers in the Imperial War Museum's Department of Documents. In 1999, Felicity Goodall wrote a BBC Radio program titled "Change of Heart," about Allan's life and career.

title: Niall Horan

text:
Niall James Horan ( ; born 13 September 1993) is an Irish singer-songwriter. He rose to prominence as a member of the boy band One Direction, formed in 2010 on the singing competition The X Factor. The group released five albums and went on to become one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

Following the band's hiatus in 2016, Horan signed a recording deal as a solo artist with Capitol Records and has since released three albums: Flicker (2017), Heartbreak Weather (2020) and The Show (2023). Flicker debuted at number one in Ireland and the US, and reached the top three  in Australia and the UK. The album's first two singles, "This Town" and "Slow Hands", reached the top twenty in several countries. Heartbreak Weather was released in March 2020, and debuted at number one in the UK, Ireland and Mexico, and at number four in the US.

Horan's third studio album, titled The Show, was released in June 2023. It was preceded by the singles "Heaven" and "Meltdown", which were released in February and April 2023, respectively.

Early life
Horan was born on 13 September 1993 in Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland. He has an older brother, Greg, who was born in 1987. His parents, Bobby Horan and Maura Gallagher (née Nolan), divorced when he was five years old, so he and his brother lived with their mother for a year. After spending a year apart from their father, they later decided to move in with him. He had asthma as a child.

Horan's brother received a guitar for his 15th birthday which he only used once and then it "sat around for a while" until Horan himself picked it up. Horan, then aged 11, taught himself how to play the guitar by following YouTube tutorials. His aunt discovered his abilities one day when she was in the car with Horan as he started singing, and she had initially thought that the radio was on. As a teenager, he performed at the Mullingar Arts Centre during a fund-raiser for the local football team, the Shamrocks. He also bagged a support slot with former X Factor contestant Lloyd Daniels at the Academy club in Dublin.

Career

2010-2015: One Direction
In 2010, at sixteen years old, Horan auditioned for the seventh series of The X Factor in Dublin. He sang "So Sick" and received mixed comments from the judges. Louis Walsh was in his favour, but Cheryl Cole and guest judge Katy Perry felt that he needed some time to grow. Simon Cowell voted to let him through, Cole said no, Walsh said yes, and Perry decided to vote yes. Horan was then put through to bootcamp. At bootcamp, he sang "Champagne Supernova", but failed to qualify for the category. After a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, Horan was put in a group with four boys who also failed to move on in the competition, and since they were too good to let go, the judges decided to agree with Scherzinger. Horan along with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik formed One Direction. Styles came up with the band name, which he thought would sound good when announcer Peter Dickson read their name out on the live shows.  Within the first four weeks of the live shows, they were Cowell's last act in the competition. They finished in 3rd place, behind runner-up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

Following The X Factor, One Direction was signed by Cowell to a reported £2 million Syco record contract. They began recording their debut album in Los Angeles in January 2011. That February, the band and other contestants from the series participated in The X Factor Live Tour. One Direction's debut single, "What Makes You Beautiful", was released in September 2011. The song reached number one in several countries. Subsequent singles, "Gotta Be You" and "One Thing" received success, becoming top ten hits in the UK. In November of that year, the group's debut album "Up All Night" was released in Ireland and the UK, reaching number one and number two on the charts, respectively. The album was released internationally in March 2012, and One Direction became the first UK group to have their debut album reach number one in the United States. To promote the album, they embarked on their first headlining concert tour, the Up All Night Tour. In September 2012, the group released "Live While We're Young", the lead single from their upcoming second album, which peaked at number three in the UK and US. The album's second single, "Little Things," spawned the band's second number one single in the UK. In November 2012, Take Me Home, One Direction's second album, was released. It reached number one in over 35 countries, and, after reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the group became the first boy band in US chart history to record two number-one albums in the same calendar year alongside becoming the first group since 2008 to record two number-one albums in the same year. To support the album, they embarked on their second headlining tour, the Take Me Home Tour, playing over 120 shows over four continents. In August 2013, One Direction: This Is Us, a 3-D documentary concert film was released and was a box office success, grossing over $68.5 million.

The band's third studio album, Midnight Memories, was released on 25 November 2013. It was the best-selling album worldwide in 2013 with 4 million copies sold globally.  Following the album's release, the group embarked on the Where We Are Tour. The tour grossed over $290 million and was the highest-grossing tour of 2014, the 15th highest-grossing concert tour of all time, and is still the highest-grossing tour of all time by a vocal group. In November 2014, One Direction released their fourth album, Four. The album debuted number one in 18 countries, and One Direction became the only group in the 58-year history of the Billboard 200 albums chart to have their first four albums debut at number one. In February 2015, the band embarked on the On The Road Again Tour, playing shows in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. In November 2015, Made in the A.M., their fifth album, was released. Led by singles "Drag Me Down" and "Perfect", the album reached number one in multiple countries, including the UK, while it reached number two on the US Billboard 200. Following the release of the album the group went on an indefinite hiatus.

title: Holstein Mansion

text:
The Holstein Mansion is a Baroque style town mansion on Stormgade in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The history of the property dates back to the late 17th century but the name and current design of the building is from the 1750s when it was owned by the Holstein family and expanded by royal sculptor Jacob Fortling. Once home to the Natural History Museum, it housed government offices until 2015. Today it has been completely renovated and converted into private apartments.

History

Early history
The original house was built for Hofmarschall Henrik Ulrik Lützow in 1687. The two-storey, nine-bay house was possibly designed by General Building Master Lambert van Haven. Lützow's property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 261 in the city's West Quarter (Vester Kvarter).

In 1706, the house was expanded with a wide bay at both ends of the main wing and two perpendicular wings to the rear. The architect of this expansion was possibly Johan Conrad Ernst.

Holstein family

In 1726, Privy Councillor Johan Georg Holstein purchased the mansion. It was after his death in 1739 passed on to his son Johan Ludvig Holstein. In 1739, he also acquired the Ledreborg estate near Roskilde. He kept the town mansion in Stormgade as his winter residence. The property was in the new cadastre of 1756 listed as No. 281.

The mansion was after Johan Ludvig Holstein's death in 1763 passed on to his son Christian Frederik Holstein. In 1767, he  commissioned court sculptor Jacob Fortling to carry out another expansion of the Holstein Mansion.

The property was after Christian Frederik Holstein's death in 1799 passed on to his son Christian Edzard Holstein-Ledreborg. His property in Stormgade was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 187.

changing ownersm 18071827
The house remained in the hands of the Holstein family until it was acquired by Supreme Court Justice Christian Colbjørnsen in 1807.

In 1810, Colbjørnsen sold the property to Amond Ammondsen. Ammondsen, a ship captain who had made a fortune on the China trade, was active on Copenhagen's turbulent property market during the exonomic crisis that followed the British bombardments of 1801 and 1807. On 7 January 1810, he had sold the smaller property Vandkunsten 8 after owning it for less than a year. In 1811, he sold the Holstein Mansion to Bille Schack. Later the same year, Bille Schack sold it to Christian Cornelius Lerche of Lerchenborg. Lerche had recently retired from his position as prefect of Holbæk County. In 1818, he was created a count.

Royal Museum of Natural History

The Holstein Mansion was acquired by the Crown in 1928. It was subsequently adapted for use as the new Royal Museum of Natural History under supervision of Jørgen Hansen Koch.

The naturalist Peter Wilhelm Lund was associated with the museum. He made several journeys to South America and is particularly known for his examinations of limestone caves in Brazil. The zoologist Johannes Theodor Reinhardt was appointed inspector of the Royal Museum of Natural History's 1st Department (mammals and birds) in 1848. He had previously participated in the Galathea Expedition 1845-47 and visited Lund in Brazil in 1848.

Later history

A new building for the Natural History Museum was inaugurated in Krystalgade in 1871. The new museum building was designed by Christian Hansen. The building in Stormgade was sold to the insurance company Den almindelige Brandforsikring for Landbygninger (now Alm. Brand).

The Ministry of Housing purchased the building when Alm. Brand moved to new premises on the Midtermolen in the Southern Freeport in 1971.

Architecture
The current exterior of the building mostly dates from Fortling's expansion in 1756. He added an extra floor topped by a balustrade decorated with vases and statues. The complex also comprises the two perpendicular rear wings from 1706 and a half-timbered building in the yard from the second half of the 17th century.

Today
The building was converted into 12 apartments in 2016. They vary in size between 90 and 386 square metres.

title: Thuthukile Zuma

text:
Thuthukile Zuma (born 28 April 1989) is the youngest of former South African president Jacob Zuma's four daughters with ex-wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

She was the chief of staff to Minister Siyabonga Cwele in the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services, and held the distinction of being the youngest head of a minister’s office ever appointed in South Africa. Her appointment was criticised due to her youth, her perceived lack of skills and experience for the position, and her close personal relationship with the president, raising concerns of nepotism.

Early life
Zuma graduated from Westerford High School in December, 2006, and went on to complete a degree in anthropology in 2012 from the University of Witwatersrand. She co-owns Nyenyedzi Productions with her sisters Nokuthula Nomaquawe and Gugulethu Zuma-Ncube, which production company produced Mzansi Magic's sitcom, It’s for Life, in 2011.  Also in 2011, she and her sister Gugulethu volunteered at Luthuli House, the headquarters of the African National Congress (ANC).

She then joined the State Security Agency as a public liaison officer for less than a year, and, after the 2014 national elections, moved to the position of chief of staff for the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services, where she received an annual salary of almost R1 million. It was reported that the position was never advertised, contrary to proper government procurement procedures. A statement released by the Department stated that “The minister only considered her capacity to do the job and her qualifications. Her genealogy was never a consideration.” The Public Service Commission investigated the appointment after complaints were lodged.

Zuma resigned from her position as chief of staff in December, 2015. She continues to be involved in the ANC, and politics on behalf of her father and mother.

title: Confucian church

text:
The Confucian church ( or ) is a Confucian religious and social institution of the congregational type. It was first proposed by Kang Youwei (1858–1927) near the end of the 19th century, as a state religion of Qing China following a European model.

The "Confucian church" model was later replicated by overseas Chinese communities, who established independent Confucian churches active at the local level, especially in Indonesia and the United States.

There has been a revival of Confucianism in contemporary China since around 2000, which has triggered the proliferation of Confucian academies (); the opening and reopening of temples of Confucius; the new phenomenon of grassroots Confucian communities or congregations (); and renewed talks about a national "Confucian church". With the participation of many Confucian leaders, a national Church of Confucius () was established on November 1, 2015; its current spiritual leader is Jiang Qing.

Kang Youwei's national Confucian Church
The idea of a "Confucian Church" as the state religion of China was proposed in detail by Kang Youwei as part of an early New Confucian effort to revive the social relevance of Confucianism. The idea was proposed at a time when Confucianism was not institutionalized, after the collapse of the Qing dynasty and the Chinese empire. Kang modeled his ideal "Confucian Church" after European national Christian churches—hierarchical and centralised institutions closely bound to the state, with local church branches, Sunday prayers and choirs, missions, journals, and even baptisms, devoted to the worship and the spread of the teachings of Confucius.

The large community of Confucian literati—who were left without an organization or an outlet for their rituals, values, and identity after the dissolution of state Confucianism, supported such projects. Similar models were also adopted by various newly created Confucian folk religious sects, such as the Xixinshe, the Daode Xueshe, and the Wanguo Daodehui.

The Confucian Church was founded in 1912 by a disciple of Kang, Chen Huanzhang, and within a few years it established 132 branches in China. From 1913 to 1916, an important debate took place about whether Confucianism should become the state religion (guo jiao) and thus be inscribed in the constitution of China. This did not occur and anti-religious campaigns in the 1920s led to a full dissolution of the Confucian church.

Modern churches and congregations
While Kang's idea was not realized in China, it was carried forward in Hong Kong and among overseas Chinese people.  The Hong Kong branch of Kang's movement became known as the "Confucian Academy" (), while the Indonesian branch became the Supreme Council for the Confucian Religion in Indonesia. Members believe in , with Confucius as the prophet (Indonesian: ).  Chinese people in the United States established independent, local Confucian churches such as the Confucius Church of Sacramento or the Confucius Church of Salinas.

In contemporary China, the Confucian revival of the 21st century has developed a variety of interrelated ways: the proliferation of Confucian academies, the resurgence of Confucian rites, and the birth of new forms of Confucian activity on the local level, such as Confucian communities. Some scholars consider the reconstruction of Chinese lineage associations and their ancestral shrines, as well as cults and temples worshiping natural and national gods from other Chinese traditional religions, as part of the revival of Confucianism.

Other groups associated with the revival include folk religions or salvationist religions that have a Confucian focus. Confucian churches, for example the  () in Beijing, the  () of Shanghai, the Way of the Gods according to the Confucian Tradition, Phoenix Churches, and the Confucian Fellowship () in northern Fujian have spread rapidly over the years since their foundation. Ancestral shrines of the Kong family have also reopened, as well as Confucian-teaching churches.

The Hong Kong Confucian Academy has expanded its activities to the mainland, constructing statues of Confucius, Confucian hospitals, restoring temples and sponsoring other activities. In 2009, Zhou Beichen founded the Holy Hall of Confucius () in Shenzhen, inspired by Kang Youwei's idea of the Confucian Church. It is also affiliated with the Federation of Confucian Culture in Qufu, a nationwide movement of congregations and civil organisations that was unified in 2015 as the Church of Confucius ().

Chinese folk religion's temples and kinship ancestral shrines sometimes choose Confucian liturgy during special occasions (that is called  , or sometimes  ), led by Confucian ritual masters () who worship the gods enshrined, instead of Taoist or other popular rituals. "Confucian businessmen" () is a recently revived term to identify people among the entrepreneurial or economic elite who recognize their social responsibilities and therefore apply Confucian cultural practices to their business.

Contemporary New Confucian scholars Jiang Qing and Kang Xiaoguang are among the most influential supporters behind the campaign to establish a national "Confucian Church". Jiang Qing is the current spiritual leader of the Church of Confucius.

Soundtrack from Twin Peaks (also known as Music from Twin Peaks) is a soundtrack album by American composer Angelo Badalamenti. It was released on September 11, 1990, by Warner Bros. Records and is the official soundtrack to the television series Twin Peaks (1990–1991). Though mostly instrumental, three tracks feature vocals by Julee Cruise.

Background
The series' co-creator David Lynch produced the album alongside Badalamenti and wrote lyrics for several tracks, including the series' theme song "Falling".

Upon its release, Soundtrack from Twin Peaks placed in several international charts—including the top 10 in Norway, Sweden, Australia and the Netherlands—and "Twin Peaks Theme" received the award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at 33rd Annual Grammy Awards.
