title: Pete Brady (presenter)

text:
Pete Brady (born 1941) is a Canadian radio presenter, television presenter and company director who has worked in the United Kingdom for over 50 years. He was one of the original lineup of disc jockeys on the pirate radio station Radio London as well as BBC Radio 1 and was one of the original presenters of Magpie. He retired early from broadcasting to set up Clearwater Communications, a group of companies specialising in the production of major corporate events around the world.  He was diagnosed with tongue and kidney cancer in 2015 and is now concentrating on helping others who have been diagnosed and treated for Head and Neck cancers.

Brady was born in Montreal and was heavily involved in radio during his teen years. He first joined Radio Jamaica as a stand-in presenter. In 1962, he moved to the UK, worked as an assistant producer on television commercials and in 1964 became the first voice on the pirate station Radio London, where he fronted the breakfast show. In 1965, he went freelance, and in 1966 he joined the Light Programme where he was heard presenting the daily afternoon show Midday Spin; at the same time he also hosted a record review show on Radio Luxembourg.

Following a similar path to DJs Tony Blackburn, Kenny Everett and Simon Dee, he made the natural progression to BBC Radio 1 at its launch in September 1967. Brady was given a major six-day-a-week afternoon slot Monday to Saturdays. He played a varied mix of current pop and rock music, new releases as well as big band, jazz and instrumental music. The second half of the show was also carried on BBC Radio 2.

In July 1968, he became one of the original presenters of Thames Television's new children's magazine programme, Magpie. He continued with Magpie until 1971, when he returned to radio for a short time before setting up his own production company. This enterprise grew over the years and became the Clearwater Communications Group which included Business Meetings Ltd and Crystal Clear Film and Video.

At the beginning of 2015 he was diagnosed with base of tongue cancer and a few months later with kidney cancer.  His treatment for the former ended in October that year and he had part of one kidney removed in November.

Following his recovery he now spends his free time running Heads2gether, the Head and Neck Cancer support group dedicated to helping head and neck cancer patients that have just been diagnosed with cancer or are in treatment and facilitating group meetings for those that have completed their treatment. His overriding aim is to raise awareness of Head and Neck cancer by the general public. To this end, he currently hosts a breakfast show on 4legs Radio, an online community radio station in the Lambourn Valley.

Brady was married to show jumper Judith Humble in 1966.  He is now married to Miranda Pearce and currently lives in Berkshire.

title: Al-Risalah al-Dhahabiah

text:
Al-Risalah al-Dhahabiah (, ; "The Golden Treatise") is a medical dissertation on health and remedies attributed to Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (765–818), the eighth Imam of Shia. He wrote this dissertation in accordance with the demand of Ma'mun, the caliph of the time. It is revered as the most precious Islamic literature in the science of medicine, and was entitled "the golden treatise" as Ma'mun had ordered it written in gold ink. The chain of narrators is said to reach Muhammad ibn Jumhoor or al-Hassan ibn Muhammad al-Nawfali who is described as "highly esteemed and trustworthy" by al-Najjashi.

The treatise of Ali al-Ridha includes scientific branches such as Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry and Pathology when medical science was still primitive. According to the treatise, one's health is determined by four humors of blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm, the suitable proportion of which maintains the health. The liver plays an important role in producing and maintaining the required proportions in the body. Ali al-Ridha describes the body as a kingdom whose king is the heart while the (blood) vessels, the limbs, and the brain are the laborers. The issue of the authorship and the transmission of the text has been critically analysed in the studies by Speziale (2004) and Speziale - Giurini (2009).

Author

The treatise is authored by Ali al-Ridha who was the seventh descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the eighth of the Twelve Imams. His given name was 'Alī ibn Mūsā ibn Ja'far. He was born in the house of Imam Musa al-Kadhim (the seventh Imam of Twelver Shia Islam) in Medina on the eleventh of Dhu al-Qi'dah, 148 AH (December 29, 765 CE). Ali al-Ridha was summoned to Khurasan and reluctantly accepted the role of successor to Ma'mun that was forced on him. He did not outlive Ma'mun, having been given poisoned grapes by him while accompanying him in Persia, and died at Tus on May 26, 818. Ali al-Ridha is buried within Imam Ridha Mosque, in Mashhad, Iran.

Background
The Ma'mun's palace was a center for philosophical and scientific researches in which many scientific seminars were held. One of the mentioned seminars was on man's body which included the greatest scholars and leaders.   Ali al-Ridha, Ma'mun, Gabriel b. Bakhtishu (the physician), Masawaiyh (the physician) and Salih ibn Salhama (the Indian philosopher) were some participants of that medical seminar. The participants were involved in a lengthy discussion about the body makeup and various types of foods, while Ali al-Ridha kept silent. Afterwards, Ma'mun asked him to demonstrate his knowledge of physiology and nutrition and Imam replied:
Soon after that, Ma'mun departed for Balkh, and wrote to Imam asking him to fulfill his promise and write a treatise on the body and its health, hence Imam authored "The Golden Treatise" at the request of Ma'mun.

Contents

The dissertation of Ali al-Ridha includes scientific branches such as Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry and Pathology when medical science was still primitive. it begins as follows:
Ali al-Ridha writes in his treatise that one's health is in accordance with the balance of phlegm, yellow bile, blood and black bile; an individual becomes sick when this proportion is unbalanced. Nutrition and traditional medicine may be used to cure imbalances. The liver plays an important role in producing and maintaining the required proportions in the body.

Ali al-Ridha describes the body as a kingdom whose king is the heart while the (blood) vessels, the limbs, and the brain are workers. He then continues as such:

Imam al-Rida names the main organs of the human body as the heart, the nerves, the brain, the hands and the Legs the ear and the eye. He discusses their characteristics and functions in detail. Regarding the human body containing systems and cells he said:
In another part of the treatise, he discusses what kind of foods are suitable according to season, time of the day and the age of an individual. He says:
In other parts, he discusses body disease, months and seasons of the year.

Reception
Ali ibn Musa al-Rida sent his dissertation to Ma'mun who was very pleased to receive it and showed his great interest by ordering that the treatise be written down in gold ink, hence it came to be known as the "Gold Treatise". Ma'mun praised it and said:

title: Liu Sheng (Southern Han)

text:
Liu Sheng (; 920–958), born Liu Hongxi (劉弘熙), possibly nicknamed Jun (雋), also known by his temple name as the Emperor Zhongzong of (Southern) Han ((南)漢中宗), was the third emperor of the Southern Han dynasty of China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He succeeded his brother, Liu Bin (Emperor Shang), whom he had ordered assassinated to allow himself to take the throne.

Background
Liu Hongxi was born in 920, as the fourth son of Liu Yan, who was then already the emperor of Southern Han (as Emperor Gaozu)—and therefore, was likely born at Southern Han's capital Xingwang (興王, in modern Guangzhou, Guangdong).

The first historical reference to Liu Hongxi was in 932, when Liu Yan created his sons imperial princes—with Liu Hongxi receiving the title of Prince of Jin.  As his two oldest brothers Liu Yaoshu (劉耀樞) and Liu Guitu (劉龜圖)—both of whom also received princely titles in 932 and therefore were likely still alive then—died early, his third older brother Liu Hongdu the Prince of Qin became the expectant heir as the oldest surviving son of Liu Yan.

In 942, Liu Yan fell seriously ill.  As he had become concerned by this point that both Liu Hongdu and Liu Hongxi were arrogant and inappropriate in behavior, he considered sending them out of the capital Xingwang to defend Yong (邕州, in modern Nanning, Guangxi) and Rong (容州, in modern Yulin, Guangxi) Prefectures respectively, while diverting succession to a younger son, Liu Hongchang the Prince of Yue, whom he considered filially pious, careful, and intelligent.  When he consulted the official Xiao Yi (蕭益), however, Xiao argued that passing the throne to a younger son would create disturbances, and so Liu Yan stopped considering that.  He soon died, and Liu Hongdu succeeded him as emperor.

Liu Bin's reign
After Liu Yan's death, Liu Hongdu became emperor and changed his name to Liu Bin. Liu Hongxi became the head of his administration. Liu Bin was arrogant and inattentive to the matters of state. Even though he was still within the mourning period for his father Liu Yan, he often drank and played music, and often took prostitutes on night out-of-palace excursions. He also liked to watch naked men and women. Liu Hongxi was ambitious and had designs on the throne. He decided to encourage his older brother's behavior. With the assistance of general Chen Daoxiang (陳道庠) and five others, Liu Hongxi had his older brother killed after an arm-wrestling match at the palace on 15 April 943.  With the support of his brother Liu Hongchang, Liu Hongxi proclaimed himself emperor and took the name Liu Sheng.

Reign

Early reign
Upon taking the throne, Liu Sheng made his brothers Liu Hongchang the Prince of Yue and Liu Honggao the Prince of Xun chancellors.  Immediately after his enthronement, however, there were rumors throughout the Southern Han state about how Liu Bin's death occurred.  To quell the discontent, Liu Honggao suggested putting Chen Daoxiang and the other conspirators to death.  Liu Sheng refused, and eventually, Chen heard about Liu Honggao's suggestion.  He therefore falsely accused Liu Honggao of plotting treason.  On Liu Sheng's instructions, Chen and one of the conspirators, Tan Lingyin (譚令禋) ambushed Liu Honggao at a feast that Liu Honggao was holding at his mansion and put him to death.  After this incident, Liu Sheng became suspicious of his brothers, particularly Liu Hongchang, due to Liu Hongchang's virtues and popularity.  In 944, he sent Liu Hongchang to pay tribute to the tomb of their uncle Liu Yin, and then had bandits intercept Liu Hongchang on the way and kill him. Hongchang was then the main chancellor and Liu Sheng made Chen Wo the chancellor after Hongchang's death. He also put one brother, Liu Hongbi (劉弘弼) the Prince of Qi, under house arrest, and poisoned another, Liu Hongze (劉弘澤) the Prince of Zhen, to death.  In 945, he killed another brother, Liu Hongya (劉弘雅) the Prince of Shao.  He also put four of Chen's coconspirators to death, and forced the high-level official Wang Lin (王翷), whom he believed had supported Liu Hongchang's succession, to commit suicide.  It was said that after these deaths, the entire state was in fear.  In 946, he also put Chen and another official who warned Chen, Deng Shen (鄧伸), to death.

In 947, Liu Sheng, concerned that his brothers would contend for the throne with his sons, executed many, possibly all, of his remaining brothers—Liu Hongbi, Liu Hongdao (劉弘道) the Prince of Gui, Liu Hongyi (劉弘益) the Prince of Ding, Liu Hongji (劉弘濟) the Prince of Bian, Liu Hongjiǎn (劉弘簡) the Prince of Tong, Liu Hongjiàn (劉弘建) the Prince of Yi, Liu Hongwei (劉弘偉) the Prince of En, and Liu Hongzhao (劉弘照) the Prince of Yi (different character than Liu Hongjìan).  He took their daughters into his palace to be part of concubinage.  He also built palaces with a total of a thousand rooms and adorned it with jewels.  He further created a number of inhumane punishments, calling it, "the Living Hell."  (It was said that Liu Sheng's killing of his brothers was encouraged by and planned in conjunction with his trusted eunuch Lin Yanyu.)

In 948, Liu Sheng commissioned the official Zhong Yunzhang (鍾允章) on a diplomatic mission to Southern Han's northern neighbor Chu, seeking a marital alliance with Chu's prince Ma Xiguang.  (Liu Yan's wife—likely not Liu Sheng's mother—was a sister of Ma Xiguang's.)  Ma Xiguang refused, angering Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng, after Zhong advised him that the Chu state was embroiled in fraternal struggles for power among Ma Xiguang's brothers, decided to attack Chu.  Later in the year, he sent the general Wu Huai'en (吳懷恩) to attack Chu.  Wu defeated the Chu general Xu Zhixin (徐知新), and seized He (賀州, in modern Hezhou, Guangxi) and Zhao (昭州, in modern Guilin, Guangxi) Prefectures for Southern Han.

Middle reign
In 950, Liu Sheng commissioned his ladies in waiting Lu Qiongxian (盧瓊仙) and Huang Qiongzhi (黃瓊之) as "female Shizhong" and had them officially participate in the governance of the state.  It was also said that by this point, prominent members of the imperial Liu clan and officials with past accomplishments had largely been executed, so eunuchs such as Lin Yanyu were very powerful.

By 951, Chu, weakened by the internecine struggles between the Ma brothers, had fallen to its northeastern neighbor Southern Tang.  Ma Yin's son Ma Xiyin, however, was still in control of Chu's Jingjiang Circuit (靜江, headquartered in modern Guilin) as its deputy military governor.  Liu Sheng commissioned Wu Huai'en with an army and sent Wu to the borders with Jingjiang, planning to conquer it.  Meanwhile, another Ma brother, Ma Xi'e, who had briefly seized the Chu throne before being deposed, was still had some followers, and he sent the general Peng Yanhui (彭彥暉) to Jinjiang's capital Gui Prefecture (桂州) to take over actual command, drawing Ma Xiyin's ire, so Ma Xiyin secretly summoned the general Xu Keqiong to Gui Prefecture, and Xu was able to expel Peng from the city.  Wu took this opportunity to capture Chu's Meng Prefecture (蒙州, in modern Wuzhou, Guangxi) and send his soldiers to pillage the rest of Jingjiang territory, causing Ma Xiyin and Xu to be terrified, but they had no strategy to defeat Wu.  Liu then wrote a letter to Ma Xiyin, claiming that his intent was to aid Ma Xiyin:

Ma Xiyin considered surrendering to Southern Han, but could not decide immediately.  When Wu quickly reached Gui Prefecture, Ma Xiyin and Xu instead abandoned it and fled to Quan Prefecture (全州, in modern Guilin).  Wu was thereafter able to take over not only Gui but the rest of Jingjiang, allowing Southern Han to possess all of the Lingnan region.  Later in the year, Liu further sent the generals Pan Chongche (潘崇徹) and Xie Guan (謝貫) to capture Chen Prefecture (郴州, in modern Chenzhou, Hunan) from Southern Tang.

Late reign
In 953, Liu Sheng made his five sons—Liu Jixing, Liu Xuanxing (劉璇興), Liu Qingxing (劉慶興), Liu Baoxing (劉保興), and Liu Chongxing (劉崇興)—imperial princes.

In 954, Liu Sheng commissioned one of his remaining brothers, Liu Hongmiao (劉弘邈) the Prince of Gao to be the military governor of Xiongwu Circuit (雄武, headquartered in modern Nanning, Guangxi).  As both Liu Hongbi and Liu Hongze had previously served at that post before their deaths, Liu Hongmiao became apprehensive and tried to decline the post, requesting that he remain as an imperial guard officer, but Liu Sheng refused the offer.  When Liu Hongmiao reached Xiongwu, he tried to ward of suspicion by entrusting the governance to others, instead spending his days drinking and praying to the gods and the spirits.  There were nevertheless accusations of treason made against him, and Liu Sheng sent Lin Yanyu to Xiongwu to force him to commit suicide.  In 955, Liu Sheng further killed Liu Hongzheng (劉弘政) the Prince of Tong, and it was said that by this point, all of his brothers were dead.

In 956, Lin died, causing the people of the realm to celebrate.  Before Lin's death, he recommended another eunuch, Gong Chengshu, to succeed him, and Liu Sheng commissioned Gong to oversee the eunuchs.

In 957, Liu Sheng, hearing that Later Zhou, which controlled the Central Plains, was repeatedly scoring victories in its war against Southern Tang, became worried that if Later Zhou conquered Southern Tang, Southern Han would become its target.  He tried to send emissaries to submit tributes to Later Zhou's emperor Guo Rong, but the emissaries were blocked by Later Zhou's vassal Zhou Xingfeng, who then controlled the former Chu lands.  In fear, he began to build up his fleet and prepare for defense against an invasion, but not long after began to take up drinking and feasting again, stating, "It would be fortunate for myself to be spared.  Why worry about future generations?"

In 958, Liu Sheng died.  Liu Jixing (who then changed his name to Liu Chang) succeeded him as emperor.

title: Park an der Ilm

text:
The Park an der Ilm (Park on the Ilm, short Ilmpark) is a large Landschaftspark (landscaped park) in Weimar, Thuringia. It was created in the 18th century, influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and has not been changed much, preserving a park of the period. It forms part of the World Heritage Site "Classical Weimar along with other sites across Weimar bearing testimony to the city's historical importance as a cultural hub during the Weimar Classicism movement in the late 18th and 19th centuries".

Location

The park is located on both banks of the river Ilm for  from the Schloss in the north to the suburb of Oberweimar in the south. The park is part of a much longer greenway along the river, including the park of Schloss Belvedere in the north and the park of Schloss Tiefurt. The Park an der Ilm is divided into the Goethe-Park and the Dux-Garten.

History

Landscaping for the park began in 1778, influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in the style of an  English landscape garden, in modification of a Baroque garden. Goethe had purchased a garden house in the park in 1776, which now carries his name. The Wörlitz park, which Goethe had visited regularly from 1776 and which served as the setting of his 1809 novel Die Wahlverwandtschaften, was a model. After planting special trees from 1778, systematic work began in 1785. Goethe's house and the opposite Roman House (de) are among many architectural features of the park, including bridges and monuments. The design was finished in 1823 with the Tempelherrenhaus. A suspension bridge was built in 1833. From 1848 to 1852, court gardener Eduard Petzold created views to Goethe's garden house and the Roman house. A monument to Shakespeare was erected in 1904 by Otto Lessing on a commission of the Deutsche Shakespeare-Gesellschaft, founded in Weimar in 1864. Poets Louis Fürnberg, Adam Mickiewicz, Sándor Petőfi and Alexander Puschkin were also honoured by busts in the park.

The park contains valuable trees, mostly local varieties, but also some foreign trees, especially from North America. In 1993, 770 maples, 455 ash trees, 381 linden, 291 chestnuts and 257 hornbeams were counted, with an average age of 80 to 150 years at the time.

From 1969, the park was taken care of by Gartendirektion der Nationalen Forschungs- und Gedenkstätten der klassischen deutschen Literatur. Since 1998, it has become part of the World Heritage Site "Classical Weimar".

A Moscow-educated physicist,  he has worked in the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry since 1993, with positions including director of the department for the European Union, as well as deputy foreign minister in the First Azarov Government, where he played a central role in negotiating the Ukraine–European Union Association Agreement.

Klimkin is also a former (2012–2014) Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Germany.

Early life, education
Pavlo Klimkin was born on 25 December 1967 in the city of Kursk in Russia (then the Soviet Union); but spent only the first two months of his life there. In 1991 Klimkin graduated from the department of aerophysics and space research at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, with a specialist degree in physics and mathematics. Klimkin moved to Ukraine at the age of 24. He was then a research officer from 1991 to 1993 at the E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

On 21 April 2010, he became Deputy Foreign Minister in the First Azarov Government of Ukraine. As deputy Klimkin played a central role in negotiating the Ukraine–European Union Association Agreement, particularly in its early stages in 2012.  According to Gazeta.ru, during those years Klimkin was "the face of European integration of Ukraine," as he led a delegation of negotiators with the EU. According to Ukrainska Pravda, the rejection of European integration with Ukraine in November 2013 was "a personal disappointment to Klimkin, who dedicated many months of his life to [the] issue."

Minister of Foreign Affairs

Appointment
In early June 2014, Klimkin's candidacy for the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine was proposed by Petro Poroshenko, the recently appointed Ukrainian President. On 19 June 2014, 335 MPs of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) voted for his appointment. This made his approval unanimous, excluding the 35-member faction "Freedom," which didn't vote entirely. Klimkin was sworn in that day.

His appointment was met with voiced approval by academics such as Hryhorii Nemyria, and that day Klimkin was congratulated by phone by foreign ministers such as Laurent Fabius of France, John Baird of Canada, and Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany. He also met with the OSCE chairman, Heidi Tagliavini.

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, Grigory Karasin, stated on 19 June that "we wish the new minister success and are ready for contact with him," also stating that Klimkin is known in their department as a "skilled diplomat." The following day, Klimkin and the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, discussed "measures to resolve Ukraine's crisis" on the phone, focusing on Poroshenko's peace plan and controlling the Ukrainian border.

Policies as minister
According to the AFP news agency, Klimkin's appointment "is seen as a step toward better [Ukrainian] relations with Russia." Also, according to NBC, Klimkin is "Committed to European integration [with Ukraine and] he has played a key role in negotiating the association and free trade agreements with the European Union, which Ukraine is expected to sign later [in June 2014]."

On 29 Augustus 2019 Vadym Prystaiko replaced Klimkin as Foreign Minister of Ukraine.

title: I Often Think of Piroschka

text:
I Often Think of Piroschka () is a 1955 German romantic comedy film directed by Kurt Hoffmann and starring Liselotte Pulver, Gunnar Möller and Wera Frydtberg. It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ludwig Reiber. It is based on the novel of the same name by .

Plot
The frame story shows Andreas, a middle aged man, sitting in a train and reminiscing about "Piroschka". The main story starts with him as a young university student riding a boat along the Danube, on his way to spend several weeks with a host family in the small Hungarian village of Hódmezővásárhely-Kutasipuszta. On board he meets and befriends fellow German Greta, who is on her way to a vacation on Lake Balaton. When the boat arrives in Budapest, they spend the evening together, with Andreas falling for Greta. After their romantic dinner and stroll is disturbed by an intrusive fiddler, they part ways but promise to contact each other.

The next day, after a long train ride, Andreas arrives at Hódmezővásárhely-Kutasipuszta and is cordially welcomed by his hosts, doctor Johann von Csíky and his wife Ilonka, and by many others, e.g. station master István. The next day, when exploring the village and taking pictures, Andreas, who does not speak Hungarian, meets a feisty girl who does not answer his questions in German. Believing her not to speak his language, he makes several snarky remarks regarding her looks and behavior. When he learns that the girl, who is István's daughter Piroschka, is in fact the best student of German in the village and understood him perfectly, he is embarrassed. But Piroschka does not seem to mind and happily accompanies him to a feast he and his hosts are invited to. During the celebration, she coaxes him to dance the Csárdás with her. They have a great time and, in the next weeks, spend much time together, e.g. teaching each other their respective languages. Andreas begins to develop feelings for her.

One day a postcard from Greta arrives, inviting him to visit her in Siófok. This leaves Andreas conflicted. He tries to keep the contents of the postcard secret from Piroschka and takes the earliest train the next morning. But Piroschka has read the postcard and sneaks onto the same train, following Andreas to the hotel in Siófok. When he meets Greta there, they both notice Piroschka. After some confusion, Andreas and Greta tell Piroschka to take the next train back but agree to spend the day together until the train leaves. In the evening, Piroschka again convinces Andreas to dance the Csárdás with her and Greta notices how happy he seems. Piroschka misses the evening train and Greta agrees to let her sleep in her room. During the night, Piroschka slips out and into Andreas' room, where she tearfully apologizes for his trouble and then leaves. The next morning, Greta tells Andreas that she knows he loves Piroschka. He rushes back home but is told that Piroschka does not want to see him.

Andreas spends the last days of his vacation depressed. On his last night he meets Piroschka at another celebration, but she ignores him. Only after they are left alone together by a supportive Johann, they reconcile. But Piroschka soon has to leave to bring her drunk father home. Both are heartbroken that Andreas has to leave the next morning. But when his express train passes the town again the same night, Piroschka has manipulated the railway signals so that the train stops and she can "kidnap" him from the train. They spend the night together and Andreas promises to come back next year.

The frame story then ends with Andreas explaining that he never was able to return but that this way he will always remember Piroschka as "young and sweet."

title: Caloocan Cathedral

text:
Caloocan Cathedral, known canonically as San Roque Cathedral-Parish (), is the cathedral or seat of the Diocese of Kalookan, located near the intersection of 10th Avenue and A. Mabini Street in Poblacion, Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines. The church is located some meters away from the poblacion or central vicinity of the city. Its present parish priest is Pablo Virgilio S. David, the Bishop of Kalookan, and its rector is Jeronimo Maria J. Cruz.

The cathedral is dedicated Saint Roch, known as San Roque in the Philippines.

History
The parish started as a small visita (chapel-of-ease) initiated by Manuel Vaquero, assistant priest of Tondo, Manila, who with the cooperation of the people also built a place of worship in one of the districts of Caloocan called Libis Aromahan (Sitio de Espinas) in 1765. The priest gave this community two statues: San Roque and the Nuestra Señora de la Soterraña de Nieva (Virgin of Nieva in Segovia, Spain). The church was erected a parish on April 8, 1815, by the Archbishop of Manila Juan Antonio de Zulaibar with Manuel de San Miguel as the first parish priest. Its formal erection as an independent parish also marked the transfer of the church to its present site. This site was called Paltok, an elevated district in the town of Caloocan. Construction began on a bigger church in 1819 under Vicente de San Francisco Xavier and was finished in 1847 under Cipriano Garcia.

In 1889, San Roque ceased as a parish as it did not meet requirements posted by the archbishop. The church could not raise the proper tributos y numero de las almas (tributes and alms) prescribed by the archbishop. Jose Aranguren revived San Roque into a parish upon his appointment as archbishop in 1892.

During the Philippine revolution against the Spaniards and later, against the Americans, San Roque Church served as the meeting place of the Katipuneros coming from the west coast of Manila going to Balintawak. On February 10, 1899, the church was partly destroyed by US forces during the Philippine–American War when Philippine revolutionary general Antonio Luna sought refuge at the church. After its capture, the Americans used the whole area as a field hospital. In 1900, American general Arthur MacArthur, Jr. invaded Caloocan and the church of San Roque was made caballeriza by the regiment of Col. Frederick Funston.

After the war, the church was re-constructed in 1914 by the Confradia de Sagrado Corazon de Jesus under the administration of parish priest Victor Raymundo.

Eusebio Carreon (1934) put black and white tiles along the aisles.  Pedro Abad (1947) renovated the façade and Pedro Vicedo (1962) built additional wings on both sides of the church.

The church deteriorated over the years. In 1977, Augurio Juta planned a new church but this plan did not materialize due to his abrupt transfer to Santa Ana, Taguig, in December 1979. He was succeeded by Boanerges "Ben" A. Lechuga, who renovated the church. It was blessed on November 30, 1981, by Manila Cardinal Jaime Sin.

In the Jubilee Year 2000, San Roque Church was declared one of the Jubilee Churches in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila.

Pope John Paul II, in his apostolic letter "Quoniam Quaelibet" of June 28, 2003, created the new Diocese of Kalookan, consisting of south Caloocan, Malabon and Navotas (CAMANA Area), and elevated the church to a cathedral. The Pope appointed Deogracias S. Iñiguez, Bishop of Iba, Zambales, as the first bishop of the diocese. He took possession of the diocese on August 22, 2003. Boanerges "Ben" Lechuga, then parish priest during that time, was the first cathedral rector and the first vicar-general of the diocese. In 2008, Bishop Iñiguez took over as parish priest soon after Lechuga's early retirement, and served until 2013, coterminal to his term as bishop. After, Elpidio Erlano Jr. became the acting parish priest and rector of the cathedral for six months, until the diocese's apostolic administrator, Bishop Francisco M. de Leon, named Gaudioso Sustento as parish priest and rector. In February 2017, Jerome Cruz, Vicar-General of the Diocese, was installed as the new rector of the cathedral.

On December 12, 2015, the faithful of Caloocan witnessed the Solemn Rite of the Dedication of the San Roque Cathedral as the newly renovated altar-sanctuary has been finally completed. The Eucharistic Celebration for the dedication and opening of the Holy Door for the celebration of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy was officiated by Francisco M. de Leon, Apostolic Administrator of Kalookan.

On December 11, 2015, a relic from the bone of San Roque was brought out for public veneration in a vigil in preparation for the dedication of the cathedral. The relic was a gift from Pope Francis for the 200th anniversary of the parish, which was deposited to the altar table during the dedication rite.

Last August 13, 2017, another bone relic of San Roque was given to the cathedral from the Chapel of the Holy Relics in Cebu.

title: William Leslie Poole

text:
William Leslie Poole (England, 7 November 1866 – Montevideo, 22 August 1931) was a Kent-born English immigrant to Uruguay who was important to the development of association football in Uruguay and became known as the "Father of Uruguayan Football."

Early life
Poole was married to Ethel Maude Poole, who was born in England and died on 21 December 1916 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Poole was a Cavendish College, Cambridge graduate who immigrated to Uruguay in 1885 to work as an English teacher at the English High School of Montevideo, where he was active until 1920.

Uruguayan football
By the time of his arrival, there were already some clubs practicing football informally in Uruguay such as the Montevideo Cricket Club, founded in 1861 (the first rugby club outside the United Kingdom), and the Montevideo Rowing Club, founded in 1874.

In his spare time, Poole devoted his energy to disseminating and organising the sport in Uruguay.

Henry Candid Lichtenberger, an 18-year-old man who was Poole's disciple, founded the first Uruguayan football team on 2 June 1886, the Club Albion. In its original statute, the Albion did not accept foreign players. The Football Association was characterised by having, as the major part of its associates, Uruguayan-born children of The English.

Poole's legacy was to organise and professionalise the sport in Uruguay. Unlike Lichtenberger, Poole required the participation of both nationals and foreigners with no distinction of race, language, religion, political opinion or economic position. This mindset was incorporated into Uruguay's mentality.

Poole also acted not only as a player – being a frontline for the Uruguay National Team – but also as a referee and as the President of the Uruguayan Association Football League, founded on 30 March 1900, a precursor of today’s Uruguayan Football Association (Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol – AUF).

Poole also practiced rowing, cricket and rugby union, but his real passion was association football. In his free time, he used to take his students to practice in the Montevideo neighborhood of Punta Carretas, close to the current location of a shopping center.

The Montevideo city hall paid honour to Poole by dedicating a place called "Espacio Libre William Leslie Poole" between Constituyente and Vásquez avenues in the Uruguayan capital.

title: Castle Hill High School, Offerton

text:
Castle Hill High School is a community Special education School located in Offerton, Stockport, Greater Manchester. It is run by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council and caters for pupils with moderate learning difficulties and complex needs, aged 11–18. It currently has about 180 pupils on roll. The school was awarded an "outstanding" rating by Ofsted in October 2013, May 2017 and September 2023. The school moved to this site in September 2014, having previously been located in the Brinnington area of Stockport. The Brinnington site was closed to make way for a housing development, as the closure of the adjacent Lapwing Sports Centre meant that the school had no sports or catering facilities. The new building is on the site of Offerton School which closed in August 2007. The site is shared with Stockport Music Service

title: Live at the Rainbow '74

text:
Live at the Rainbow '74 is a live album by the British rock band Queen released on 8 September 2014.

Release and content
The album was released in single CD, double CD, DVD, SD Blu-ray and quadruple vinyl formats, as well as a deluxe box set including reproduction tour memorabilia. The single disc and video editions contain a concert from the band's Sheer Heart Attack Tour, recorded live at the Rainbow Theatre in London on 19 & 20 November 1974, while the double CD and vinyl releases include this material plus a concert recorded at the Rainbow earlier in the year, on 31 March, as part of the Queen II Tour. The DVD and Blu-ray also include four bonus tracks from the earlier Queen II concert.

The video footage was previously released as Live at the Rainbow, a half-hour film containing footage from both November shows. It was shown in cinemas in the 1970s and 1980s as an opener to films, including longer concert films by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, as well as the release of Jaws 2 in British cinemas. More footage from the November shows was later released on VHS as part of the Box of Tricks box set in 1992, though this footage was heavily overdubbed. The 2014 release removes all of the overdubs, however it employs the use of pitch correction in some areas. This extends to the March concert as well.

One song from the album was previously available as audio. "Stone Cold Crazy" was released as a b-side to "The Miracle" single in 1989.

title: Won't Look Back (song)

text:
"Won't Look Back" is a 2014 single by Duke Dumont. The song was written and produced by Duke Dumont and frequent collaborator Jax Jones. It was co-written by Naomi Miller and features uncredited vocals from Yolanda Quartey. The song was released on 31 August 2014 on iTunes. It is included on Duke Dumont's EP EP1, which was released in North America.

Music video
A music video for the song features three robbers stealing money from a jewelry store owner (played by Rene Napoli) on pogo sticks and whilst wearing face masks consisting of the royal family members. The trio split up when a police officer on duty catches them showboating over a broken down car and chases them on a Segway.

He arrests one robber by cornering him by a fence. The other one he catches by stealing the remote off a child's remote-controlled car and by driving the small car under the pogo stick in order for the pogo to tip. The video ends on a cliffhanger when the last robber jumps off the top of a car parking building, as the officer looks on in surprise, leaving a "To Be Continued..." on the screen as the sound of a helicopter can be heard.

Critical reception
4Music gave particular praise to the vocalist of the song, saying "If Duke Dumont is watching, could you please tell us who the amazing vocalist is on this track? She deserves a credit!."

Charts and certifications
The song debuted at number 169 on the UK Singles Chart in its first week. After the full download release, "Won't Look Back" catapulted 167 places straight to number two, becoming Dumont's third major release and his first single to miss the top spot.

title: John Johnstone (East India Company)

text:
John Johnstone (28 April 1734 – 10 December 1795) was a Scottish nabob,
a corrupt official of the British East India Company who returned home with great wealth. Described as "a shrewd and unscrupulous business man",
he survived several scandals and became a major landowner when he returned to Scotland in 1765.

Johnstone sat in the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1774 to 1780, having bribed his way to a victory in the Dysart Burghs.

Early life and family

Johnstone was born in Edinburgh, the fifth son of Sir James Johnstone, 3rd Baronet (1697–1772) and his wife, Barbara (died 1773), daughter of Alexander Murray, 4th Lord Elibank.
The Jacobite plotter Alexander Murray of Elibank was his uncle.

His brothers included the British Army officer and politician Sir James Johnstone, 4th Baronet (1726–1794), the wealthy lawyer and politician William (later Sir William Pulteney, 5th Baronet (1729–1805), and the politician and Royal Navy officer George Johnstone (1730–1787).
Another brother, Patrick, died in the Black Hole of Calcutta.

In 1765 Johnstone married Elizabeth Caroline Keene, daughter of a Colonel Keene from Northamptonshire, and niece of the diplomat Sir Benjamin Keene. They had one son and daughter. His daughter, Ann Elizabeth (b. 1776, d. 1851) married James Gordon of Craig. His son, James Raymond Johnstone of Alva, married Mary Elizabeth Cholmeley (b. c 1778, d. 9 Sep 1843).

The family became very powerful, and it was claimed that by the late 1750s they were "involved in every major event in the British Empire".

Career

India
Johnstone went to Bengal in 1751, as a writer for the East India Company. He was at Dacca in 1756 when conflict broke out and was taken prisoner. After his release, emboldened by the death of his brother Patrick, he volunteered to join the company's military forces under Robert Clive for the Battle of Plassey, and saw further military service before resuming civilian work in 1757.

In about 1760 Johnstone was placed in charge of the company's affairs in Midnapore, and became a member of the Bengal Council.  His success there led to a transfer in 1762 to Burdwan, where he developed private businesses which led to conflict with Henry Vansittart, the Governor of Bengal. This led to Johnstone being dismissed by the Company in early 1764, but the company's Court of Directors overturned the decision on 21 March 1764, and he was reinstated by May.

Johnstone's former ally Robert Clive did not support Johnstone's return to his post, and when Clive succeeded Vansittart as governor in 1765 he began an inquiry into gifts totalling over £50,000 which Johnstone had secured from the new Nawab of Bengal, Najimuddin Ali Khan.

In 1764, the Company had adopted new regulations which required its officers to sign a covenant that they would accept non-trivial gifts only with the prior approval of the directors.
Clive forced the resignation of Johnstone, who sailed for Britain in October 1765
with a fortune estimated at £300,000
(equivalent to £ in ).

Aged 31, Johnstone proceeded to buy estates in Scotland, first at Alva in Stirlingshire, and later in Selkirkshire and Dumfriesshire.

Scotland

The Johnstone family account says that he spent "about a ninth" of his money on the estates at Alva, Hanginghaw and Denovan, and "lived quietly" there until his election to Parliament.
However his letters to his brother William reveal that he continued to engage in speculation and stock manipulation.

Meanwhile, the directors of the East India Company moved to prosecute Johnstone for his actions.
His allies, led by George Dempster, lobbied on his behalf and in his defence Johnstone published in 1766 "A letter to the proprietors of East-India stock", subtitled "Vindication of His Conduct in Receiving Presents from the Native Governments of India".
In May 1767, the General Court of the East India Company over-ruled its directors, and dropped all prosecutions against its former servants, and Johnstone walked free.

The following year, at the 1768 general election, Johnstone contested the parliamentary borough of Haslemere in Surrey, where he was defeated.

At the next election, in 1774 Johnstone used guile and money to win the seat of Dysart Burghs, which consisted of five burghs in the county of Fife: Kirkcaldy, Burntisland, Kinghorn, and Dysart. The Caledonian Mercury reported on 2 November 1774 that Johnstone did not declare his interest until after the burghs had chosen their delegates, and caught the sitting MP James Oswald by surprise.  Johnstone won the support of Dysart, and bribed the backing of Burntisland and Kinghorn delegates, winning the seat.

However, at the 1780 election Johnstone lost the support of Burntisland to his opponent John Henderson, who won the seat on the casting vote of Kirkcaldy.

Death and legacy

Johnstone died on 10 December 1795, aged 61, at home in Alva House,
which had been remodelled and expanded in 1789 to the designs of Robert Adam.

Adam's works also included a family mausoleum to house the remains of Johnstone and his wife Caroline in Alva churchyard.

His son James Raymond Johnstone (died 1830), had 8 children, of whom the eldest James Johnstone (1801–1888) was MP for Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire.

Alva house remained in his family for over a century, and in 1890 it passed to his descendant Carolin Johnstone. She sold the surrounding estate to reduce her debts, but failed to clear them, and the house was abandoned by the 1920s. It was used for target practice during World War II, and left in ruins.

title: Cooperatives Europe

text:
Cooperatives Europe is the European regional office of the International Co-operative Alliance and acts for cooperative enterprises in Europe. Representing 83 member organisations from 33 European countries, across all business sectors (data from 2014). Cooperatives Europe promotes the cooperative business model in Europe and advocates for a level playing field between cooperatives and other forms of enterprise. Its members represent 123 million individual member cooperators owning 160.000 cooperative enterprises and providing jobs to 5.4 million European citizens.

As part of the International Cooperative Alliance, Cooperatives Europe maintains the internationally recognised definition of a cooperative in the Statement on the Co-operative Identity which also defines seven cooperative principles. Over time, the international cooperative movement has made small readjustments to this first set of principles of the Rochdale cooperative. The most recent adjustment was made in 1995 at the Centennial Congress of the International Cooperative Alliance, when the seven cooperative principles were approved: voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, member economic participation, autonomy and independence, education, training and information, cooperation among cooperatives, and concern for the community. The new principles, while building on and refining the previously accepted ones, firmly positioned cooperatives as jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprises based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality and solidarity.

On the first Saturday of July each year, Cooperatives Europe celebrates International Co-operative Day.
In December 2009, the United Nations declared 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives.

History

Cooperatives Europe was established on 7 March 2006 as a nonprofit organization under Belgian law (ASBL),. The first General Assembly took place in Manchester, on 11 November 2006, where Pauline Green and Etienne Pflimlin were elected co-presidents.

Since 2012, Cooperatives Europe is recognised as Civil Society Organisation, and takes therefore part in the Policy Forum on Development, organised by the European Commission’s DG DevCo. Cooperatives Europe has organised several seminars on international cooperation such as the event Cooperatives and Sustainable Development: Challenges for the Post-2015 Agenda, co-organised with CoopBuro in Brussels, among others.

Cooperatives Europe is one of the partners within the European Year for Development (EYD2015), EU’s first ever thematic year dedicated to international development cooperation. 2015 is a special year for development. It is the first ever European Year to deal with the European Union's external action and Europe’s role in the world. For development organisations all over Europe it is an unparalleled opportunity to showcase Europe's commitment to eradicating poverty worldwide and to inspire more Europeans to get engaged and involved in development. 2015 is also the year in which the Millennium Development Goals that the world agreed to reach in 2000, and in which the international community will agree on the future global framework for poverty eradication and sustainable development. See Cooperatives Europe's profile and actions on EYD2015's website.

Responding to the need of more and more young cooperators in Europe to develop contacts with peers in other countries, Cooperatives Europe has created and is developing a European network of Young Cooperators.

Structure

Cooperatives Europe is run by a secretariat based in Brussels. Strategic guidelines are decided by the General Assembly of Cooperatives Europe, which meets at least once a year. The General Assembly elects the board of directors, which is in charge of the development and implementation of the strategic multi-annual programme, and one president, who also acts as vice-president of the International Cooperative Alliance for the European Region.

title: La Caricature (1880–1904)

text:
La Caricature was a satirical journal that was published in Paris, France, between 1880 and 1904.  It had a lively and colorful layout, and made full use of the newly invented photogravure technology. Its focus was on social satire rather than political commentary. La Caricature covered the theater, news events, gossip and topical subjects such as the vote for women or seaside vacations. The founding editor, Albert Robida, left in 1892.  The journal began  to decline in quality, went through various changes of ownership and management, and eventually was merged with a rival tabloid.

Foundation
La Caricature was published weekly between 1880 and 1904, first by Librairie illustrée, then by Eugene Kolb and finally by Fayard frères. The founding editor was Albert Robida (1848–1926). The new journal had a lively and colorful format, exploiting the recently invented photogravure technique. The title recalled the earlier La Caricature (1830–1843) founded by Charles Philipon, which portrayed Louis Philippe as a pear, and which included works by the great Honoré Daumier.  The new Caricature was less politically engaged than its predecessor, focusing more on caricature of the manners of the age.

Robida period
The first issue appeared on 3 January 1880, heralding a break from the oppressive morality of the regime that had followed the fall of the Paris Commune in 1871. However, La Caricature appeared before the act of 29 July 1881 gave much greater freedom to the press. The masthead of La Caricature was classic in design, at first showing Albert Robida as editor, and La Librairie illustrée as publisher.  The offices were 7 rue du Croissant, the same premises as La Librairie illustrée, in the heart of the press district of Paris. The journal appeared every Friday.

With eight pages of drawings, and little text, La Caricature gave stories in pictures without captions, silhouettes, portraits and large compositions, including all forms of caricature at the time. It covered news, literature, theater and gossip, but generally avoided political comment. It often made fun of Sarah Bernhardt, Alexandre Dumas and Émile Zola. In May 1880 La Caricature published a cartoon of Sarah Bernhardt's planned trip to the USA, making fun of her thin figure, her grandiose opinion of her importance, and the public view of her epic battles with adversity. The paper caricatured the Salon exhibitions, fashion and horse racing. It was common for an issue to be devoted to one topic such as women's emancipation, sea bathing or a visit to a château.

The 25 October 1883 issue was devoted to La Guerre au vingtième siècle (War in the 20th Century). It shows a war fought in 1975 between Australia and Mozambique using every possible weapon.  Robida borrowed ideas from Jules Verne. Unlike Verne he was unconcerned with whether his machines could really work, purely interested in the image. In other futuristic illustrated stories Robida depicted many grotesque types of mechanical transport, including submarine pleasure boats, as well as television news, video phones, excursions to the moon and synthetic food. Other whimsical concepts of his prosperous world of the future included air taxis, transatlantic balloons, aerial hotels, underwater sports and a women-only stock exchange.

Robida was ambivalent about modernization. His drawing of The Embellishment of Paris by the Metro appeared on the 19 June 1886 cover.  Robida depicts Paris as a woman, her crown adorned with the windmills that had once stood on the hills of the city, violated by a network of railways that run over or through famous structures of the city.

Robida used color boldly, in contrast to other journals of the time. La Caricature gave good coverage to theater in the early years, typically focusing on one production. This was not advertising. The journal did not produce posters for the shows, but gave pictures that captured the mood of the shows in exaggerated form, with critical comment written in a satirical vein. The large theatrical pictures drawn by Robida mainly appeared in the first three years.  They were revived in 1897 when the journal was under new management, now drawn by Maurice Radiguet.

The work of young artists such as Ferdinand Bac, Caran d'Ache and Louis Morin was published in La Caricature. The cartoonist Draner (Jules Jean Georges Renard; 1833–1926) contributed illustrations, including most of the military items and also caricatures of sportsmen, domestic servants in large houses and people wearing the ridiculous fashions of past periods, such as the days of Louis Philippe. The cartoonist Job (Jacques Onfroy de Bréville; 1858–1931) also contributed cartoons, depicting horses and small scenes of gallantry.

Later years
On 2 July 1892, with issue 653, Robida retired after twelve years as editor and Eugene Kolb became the head of La Caricature. With Robida's departure the journal lost some of its graphic appeal, and became more clichéd. On 5 September 1896 Kolb's name was dropped from the masthead of issue 871, which now simply said "weekly journal". In January 1897 the journal was sold to the Librairie Fayard, and Fayard frères began to appear on the masthead.

On 23 January 1893 the office moved to 78 boulevard St Michel, in the premises of the Librairie Dentu. B. Roussat became the manager. Soon after La Caricature abandoned photogravure for halftone etching. There were repeated changes of manager. The paper began to adopt a more strident and populist tone. On 31 December 1904 the last issue of La Caricature announced its merger with L’Indiscret, a black and white tabloid that gave more images than La Caracature but lower quality.
