title: Monique Jenkinson

text:
Monique Jenkinson (born March 8, 1971) also known as Fauxnique, is an American artist, choreographer, drag performer, and author. Her book Faux Queen: A Life in Drag , a memoir, was published in January 2022 by Amble Press. Her drag-queen alter-ego Fauxnique came to prominence in 2003 when she won the Miss Trannyshack Pageant in San Francisco, becoming the first cis-gender woman to be crowned as a pageant-winning drag queen. In an article published to coincide with the release of Faux Queen, arts writer Tony Bravo in the San Francisco Chronicle referred to Jenkinson as a "drag anthropologist". The anthropologist reference echoes a pull quote on the front cover of the book from singer songwriter and cabaret artist Justin Vivian Bond who referred to Jenkinson as "The Jane Goodall of drag."

Biography
Jenkinson was born in Dallas, Texas but moved weeks later to Los Angeles, California and grew up in San Pedro. The family later moved to Modesto in the central valley then to Broomfield, Colorado, just north of Denver. As noted in Faux Queen, she grew up obsessed by ballet, fashion and 1980s music. She left Broomfield for Bennington College at the age of 17 to study dance and writing. Moving to San Francisco in 1992, she continued her dance practice and became a professional dancer, working with a number of cutting edge San Francisco choreographers including Kathleen Hermesdorf and Sara Shelton Mann.

Jenkinson began going to Trannyshack, the infamous Tuesday night drag club at The Stud, in the late 1990s and first performed there in 1998 alongside Kevin Clarke, with whom she would later forge a performing partnership under the name Hagen & Simone, an allusion to Nina Hagen and Nina Simone. The partnership would go on to produce Future Perfect, a dance piece that deconstructed style and performance through the prisms of Vogue Magazine Fashion Editor Diana Vreeland, and the authors of The Elements of Style, William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White.

Jenkinson would go on to create a body of solo performance works with Crying in Public (2007) up to the present day with Notes on Faux (2023). Awards and accolades include 7 X 7 Magazine's Hot 20, SF Bay Guardian's GOLDIE awards, the Bay Area Reporter's Bestie awards and Theatre Bay Area and Isadora Duncan Dance Award nominations.

Fauxnique
Winning the Miss Trannyshack Pageant as Fauxnique generated controversy because it was the first time a cis-gender woman had been crowned as a major pageant-winning drag queen. There were also those who questioned whether a cis-gender woman really qualified as a drag queen in the first place. But in the main, Jenkinson and by extension Fauxnique were met with open arms by the San Francisco drag community. "Call me a faux queen if you want, and then you'll see how real a performance I do. I mean, my name is Fauxnique, so I love playing with the idea of faux. I am an artist, and that is where my drag comes from. Part of being an artist is creating artifice."

2009 saw the debut of Faux Real, a long-running evening length solo cabaret performance in which Fauxnique dealt with these and other questions. Leah Garchik writing in the San Francisco Chronicle called it "performance art" while noting the "amazingly skillful performance" and "how the sweat changes the medium of makeup and the tension that creates."

Faux Real was also performed that same year at The New Museum in New York in All Made Up, a shared evening with Narcissister as well as in 2013 when she performed sections of the piece at LGBTQ Pride in Catania, Sicily and paired these sections with a lecture at the Genderotica Festival in Rome, Italy.

A year later came the debut of Luxury Items which continued the conversation about drag while simultaneously deconstructing the idea of luxury and featuring Jenkinson's portrayal of Coco Chanel and Marie Antoinette attempting to explain themselves.

2015 saw the debut of The F Word at Hackney Attic in London. Versions of the show ran until 2018 and played in Berlin, Cambridge, Williamstown, Provincetown, New Orleans, Seattle, San Francisco and at Joe's Pub in New York City.

In an interview with The Bay Area Reporter she explained that the F was for both Fauxnique and Feminism.  "We've sort of dismantled the idea that drag is 'female impersonation,' and that women doing drag is just as much of a performance as men doing drag. Drag has always been, for me, a reclaiming of the performance of femininity."

In 2017, C*NT, or, The Horror of Nothing To See, premiered at ODC's Walking Distance Dance Festival. In writing about the work, Marie Tollon called it "an investigation of aging, ugliness and rage," that also plays with the expectation of a what a drag queen's show looks like.

Jenkinson's other notable appearances and collaborations, both in and outside of her Fauxnique persona, include:

 Playing the lead role in & choreographing Silver for Gold: the Odyssey of Edie Sedgwick by David J of Love and Rockets and Bauhaus fame.
 Vocals on and appearance in the video for "Lipstique (feat. Fauxnique)" (2008) by Silencefiction.
 Playing the DIRT (a role originated by Justin Vivian Bond) in Taylor Mac's Lily's Revenge at Magic Theatre (2011).
 In 2012, after being named as an Irvine Fellow at the de Young Museum, she collaborated on a new original piece, Instrument with choreographers Miguel Gutierrez, Amy Seiwert and Chris Black, as well as curating an evening entitled Making Scenes, featuring an original work entitled Our People, and prefigured Drag Queen Story Hour with an all-ages event in which teams of children created gowns for drag queens. Instrument would go on to be performed at zürich moves! festival in Zürich, Switzerland in 2015.
 Also in 2015, Jenkinson played Ismene/Euridyke in Shotgun Players' production of Anne Carson's ANTIGONICK.
 She was an Artist in Residence at Headlands Center for the Arts and later that year created Ordinary Practices of the Radical Body with Judith Butler.
 Girl (2018) a notable first full collaboration with long-time life partner Marc Kate which explored the figure of the "final girl."
 QUEENT (2019), with Vivvyanne Forevermore, combined elements of drag and contemporary dance and toured to Cork, Ireland in 2020.
 A chapter dedicated to her work features in The Bodies of Others: Drag Dances and Their Afterlives by Selby Wynn Schwartz (2019), winner of the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR) 2020 Sally Banes Publication Prize and finalist of the 2020 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Nonfiction.

Faux Queen: A Life in Drag

Faux Queen traces the narrative of Jenkinson's path from ballet-obsessed girl and teenager amid the cultural swirl of the 1970s, '80s and later into the '90s when she found both freedom and her true voice through the art of drag. Author Michelle Tea described Faux Queen as "A playful, engaging, critically serious, counter-culturally crucial memoir that is full of joy - the primal joys of art-making, fandom, connecting with like-minded weirdos, finding your place in the world and allowing your art and obsessions to lead you to it."

This is echoed in the forward to the book by author and essayist Evan James, who notes: "In those years in San Francisco, drag appeared to be enjoying a special moment, part of a long and continuing process of mutation. Drag was busy both celebrating and transcending itself: the drag scene there was also a performance art movement, one that predated and foreshadowed drag's storming the gates of popular culture."

Chapter headings such as What's in My Purse, English Boys in Eyeliner, Art Damaged, That's Problematic, Real Ladies, and Genderful represent the expanse of cultural discourse and points of view engaged with over the course of its 291 pages.

On April 27, 2022, Jenkinson guested on episode #33 of The Midnight Mass Podcast hosted by Peaches Christ and Michael Varrati, where she discussed her lifetime of love for the film Cabaret and how it has informed her work.

Personal life
Jenkinson lives in San Francisco with her husband, musician and podcaster Marc Kate.

title: Packerton Moraine

text:
The Packerton Moraine in north-central Indiana has been considered by most persons who have studied it to be a large interlobate moraine between the Saginaw and the Erie lobes. The northeast-southwest direction of the eskers north of Disko, Wabash County, and the southeast-northwest trend south of there indicated that the part of the Packerton moraine south of Disko was built by the Erie lobe and the part north of Disko by the Saginaw lobe. An esker, Miami County shows a northeast-southwest alignment, providing evidence that  Packerton moraine in Miami County was built by the Erie lobe. A small area in the northwestern was deposited by the Saginaw lobe. It is named the Packerton moraine from the village of Packerton in Kosciusko County.
Thirteen kames and eskers complexes are mixed with sand and gravel. The till is, sandier, especially in the part deposited by the Saginaw lobe, than in the lobe passed over some source of sand, whereas the Erie lobe did not. Water-laid or wind-blown sands are found throughout the moraine. The bulk of the sand seems to have been water-deposited, but locally the sand appears to have been reworked by the wind. Few of the sand deposits exhibit dunal forms.

Description
At its western end, near Delphi in Caroll County, the Packerton moraine is  wide. It is on the north side of the Wabash River as far as Logansport, continuing along the north side of the Eel River. In Miami and Wabash Counties the moraine is wider and further from the Eel River, separated by a belt of outwash  wide. Its hummocky topography shows numerous kames, eskers and lakes. The maximum altitude exceeds , and local relief exceeds . Only along the Wabash sluiceway is the relief greater.
Till and water-laid sands and gravels occur together in rather complex relationships, and a few short eskers are associated with it in the northern part of the county. The largest, in reaches  and forms a discontinuous eastwest ridge for about 2 miles.

History
During the Tazewell subage, the Wabash, Eel, and Mississinewa Rivers and their major tributaries served as sluiceways for the Saginaw or Erie lobes. Outwash that was deposited along the major valleys has not been distinguished from that laid down later during the Cary substage. Tazewell outwash is exposed, however, along such minor sluiceways as Mill, Big and Little Pipe, and Deer Creeks and three southward-f lowing tributaries of the Eel River, none of which served as sluiceways during the Cary substage.
The Packerton Moraine in which Shoe Lake is located belongs to the moraines of the Saginaw lobe of late Wisconsin Substage. It has its origin in northern Carroll County, extends northeastward through Cass, Miami, Fulton, Kosciusko, and Whitley Counties, and terminates about the middle of Noble County. Here it joins with the Morainic system of the Erie Lobe. Shoe Lake is two miles southeast of Oswego. Indiana, and one mile south of the eastern end of Tippecanoe Lake.

title: La Gatta Cenerentola

text:
La Gatta Cenerentola is a 1976 three-act musical, in Neapolitan language, adapted by Roberto De Simone from the sixth fable (Cinderella) of Giambattista Basile's Pentamerone. It debuted in Naples and later premiered in the United States (1985) and Great Britain (1988). De Simone sought to express the dreaminess of southern Italian popular culture. His fresh and authentic reinvention of folksongs brought him prominence. The initial production was favored by theater progressives and opposed by theater purists. Art music blogs rediscovered and praised the musical 30 years after its initial release.

History

La Gatta Cenerentola is a Neapolitan Language, three-act musical adapted by Roberto De Simone from the sixth fable (Cinderella) of Giambattista Basile's Pentamerone. Its name translates as "The Cat Cinderella" or "Cinderella the Cat". It billed itself as a "musical fable" in three acts, told through villanelle, tarantella, and madrigal in a Neapolitan style. Its author sought to evoke the "dreamlike texture" of southern Italy's popular culture. De Simone, a composer and scholar, led a resurgence of the folk art tradition and public interest in 1940s folk singer-songwriters. He reinvented folksongs in a fresh yet authentic style in writing La Gatta Cenerentola, which, in turn, brought him prominence.

The musical debuted on July 9, 1976, at the Teatro Nuovo in Spoleto, Italy's Festival of Two Worlds, where it included actress Isa Danieli and the folk band Nuova Compagnia Di Canto Popolare. It received its American premiere on October 19, 1985, at the Vivian Beaumont Theater during Italy on Stage in New York City. The two-day run was performed by the visiting troupe Ente Teatro Cronaca of Naples—the oldest private theater company in southern Italy—directed by De Simone, and produced by the Italian Government with assistance from the America-Italy Society as part of the city's Italian Cultural Month. Its British premiere was at the King's Theatre in the Edinburgh International Festival from August 24–27, 1988.

Reception and influence

The original production had mixed reception. It was favored by opera progressives and opposed by opera purists.

Thirty years after the musical's debut, 20 Jazz Funk Greats wrote that its "Secondo Coro delle Lavandaie" (Second Chorus of the Washerwomen) had specifically influenced contemporary pieces by both OOIOO (especially Taiga) and 3rd Face's "Canto della Liberta". Travess Smalley of Rhizome.org called it the best song he found online in 2009.

title: 2014 anti-Muslim riots in Sri Lanka

text:
The 2014 anti-Muslim riots in Sri Lanka were religious and ethnic riots in June 2014 in south-western Sri Lanka. Muslims and their property were attacked by Sinhalese Buddhists in the towns of Aluthgama, Beruwala and Dharga Town in Kalutara District. At least four people were killed and 80 injured. Hundreds were made homeless following attacks on homes, shops, factories, mosques and a nursery. 10,000 people (8,000 Muslims and 2,000 Sinhalese) were displaced by the riots. The riots followed rallies by Bodu Bala Sena (BBS), a hard line Buddhist group. The BBS was widely blamed for inciting the riots but it has denied responsibility. The mainstream media in Sri Lanka censored news about the riots following orders from the Sri Lankan government.

Background

Since 2012 there have been a number of attacks against Sri Lanka's Muslim minority by the majority Buddhists. Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) has engaged in various anti-Muslim campaigns.

On Poson Poya (12 June 2014) Buddhist monk Ayagama Samitha and his driver were allegedly assaulted by Muslims in Dharga Town. A mob from Samitha's temple, together with the priest, stormed Aluthgama Police Station demanding that immediate action be taken. Three Muslims were arrested and remanded until 25 June 2014 by the courts. That evening a tense situation arose in Aluthgama as a group of Sinhalese Buddhists started protesting against the alleged assault. The protest turned violent and the mob started throwing stones at the police and attacking Muslim shops. Government ministers Kumara Welgama and Rohitha Abeygunawardena visited the scene to sort out the situation but Welgama's vehicle was stoned by the mob. The police were forced to use tear gas against the protesters. Three people were arrested over the violence.

On 15 June 2014 the BBS staged rallies in Aluthgama, Beruwala and Dharga Town in Kalutara District. Addressing a cheering crowd in Aluthgama, BBS leader Galagoda Aththe Gnanasaara threatened "In this country we still have a Sinhala police; we still have a Sinhala army. After today if a single Marakkalaya [Muslim, in context used derogatorily] or some other paraya [alien, outcast, also a derogatory term] touches a single Sinhalese…..it will be their end."

Riots
After its rally the BBS drove into Dharga Town chanting anti-Muslim slogans. Local residents started throwing stones at the BBS convoy which resulted in violent clashes erupting between the two groups. Eyewitnesses reported Muslim homes and a mosque being stoned. Muslims were pulled off buses and assaulted whilst the Buddhist mob threw Molotov cocktails, burning and looting Muslim shops and homes. Muslim residents were forced to flee from their homes and seek shelter in mosques and community centres. There was rioting in Beruwala as well.

Special Task Force personnel were deployed to control the situation. The police imposed an indefinite curfew in Aluthgama at 6:45pm on 15 June 2014 and at 8:00pm in Beruwala. Despite the curfew BBS supporters wielding weapons were seen in the area. Muslim residents stated that the curfew was only for the Muslims, not for the rioters. According to local residents the police did nothing to help them. Some residents accused the police of helping the BBS.

Three men who were trying to protect Welipitiya mosque in Dharga Town were shot dead in the early hours of 16 June 2014 by a group travelling in a vehicle. The victims were identified as labourer Mohammed Shiraz (30), shop keeper Mohammed Sahuran (40) and tile layer Mohammed Imran (41).

More than 80 people were injured. The injured were taken to several local hospitals. 36 people, including seven who had been shot, were taken to Kalutara Base Hospital while seven others, including a police officer, were taken to Beruwala District Hospital. 10,000 people (8,000 Muslims and 2,000 Sinhalese) displaced by the riots sought shelter in schools, mosques and other community facilities.

The curfew was later extended. By 16 June 2014 no arrests had been made in relation to the violence. After the police failed to restore order, around 50 military personnel were deployed in Aluthgama, Beruwala, Dharga Town, Maggona and Welipenna to maintain order. Local schools were closed on 16 June 2014.

On the night of 16 June 2014 the riots spread to the Welipenna where a mob of 50-60 men armed with guns, Molotov cocktails and knives destroyed 26 shops and nine houses. Karuppan Sivalingam (58), an unarmed Tamil guard, was hacked to death and a Sinhalese farm worker seriously injured when a mob raided a Muslim owned chicken farm in Henagama near Welipenna. The curfew was temporarily lifted at 8.00am on 17 June 2014 before being re-imposed at 12.00pm. By 17 June 2014 10,000 police and Special Task Force personnel had been deployed in the area. According to the police 41 people had been arrested by 17 June 2014. The number of arrested later rose to 49. By 21 June 2014 58 people had been arrested, 36 of whom were remanded whilst the rest were released on police bail.

Journalists covering the riots were also attacked by the mob. Sunday Leader journalist Binoy Suriyaarachchi was held hostage for several hours and his driver Upul was attacked. Sunday Times journalist Sarath Siriwardana was attacked by a mob in Aluthgama on the night of 15 June 2014. An Al Jazeera crew travelling between Mathugama and Aluthgama on 17 June 2014 were attacked by a mob who damaged their vehicle's windscreen.

On 17 June 2014 the police obtained court order preventing the BBS from holding a rally in Mawanella.

The curfew in Aluthgama and Beruwala was lifted at 8.00am on 18 June 2014.

Aftermath

President Mahinda Rajapaksa, accompanied by government minister Mervyn Silva, visited Beruwala on 18 June 2014 to meet victims of the riots and promised an impartial inquiry. According to the president, the government would re-build homes and business destroyed by the riots. The president announced via social media on 21 June 2014 that he would appoint a high-level panel to investigate the riots. At a meeting in Badulla on 21 June 2014 Rajapaksa blamed "international forces" for a "concerted efforts to destabilise the country" and ordered a crackdown on hate groups. Former President Chandrika Kumaratunga and various other parliamentary ministers also condemned the attack.

Moderate Buddhist monk Watareka Vijitha, who had been critical of the BBS, was abducted and assaulted in the Bandaragama area on 19 June 2014. Vijitha had been forcibly circumcised. The police later stated they would take action against Vijitha for giving false statements, saying that his injuries were self-inflicted. Vijitha was later charged by the police for making false allegations. Vijitha had been threatened by BBS leader Galagoda Aththe Gnanasaara in April 2014. He had gone into hiding following attempted assaults.

Muslim businesses in Colombo, Eastern Province and Northern Province staged a hartal on 19 June 2014 as protest against the riots.

Contrary to fears there was no violence after Jumma prayers on 20 June 2014.

The Muslim owned No-Limit clothing store in Panadura was destroyed by fire in the early hours of 21 June 2014, causing Rs.400 million in damage. Witnesses reported seeing petrol bombs being thrown into the store. Police and Special Task Force personnel were deployed in the area.

Schools in the riot affected re-opened on 23 June 2014. Sporadic attacks against Muslim targets continued in the days after the riots.

Reaction
President Rajapaksa, who was in Bolivia for the Group of 77 summit, issued statements via social media urging restraint and promising an investigation. The government then urged the media not to publish news about the riots which could cause "disharmony" amongst religious groups in the country. As a result, there was a virtual blackout about the violence in the mainstream media in Sri Lanka.

Rajapaksa's United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) government was divided over the riots. Rauff Hakeem, Minister of Justice and leader of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress, has called for "an independent and transparent inquiry" into the riots which would bring to justice not just those responsible for the violence but also those allowed or encouraged religious zealotry. Risad Badhiutheen, Minister of Industry and Commerce and leader of the All Ceylon Muslim Congress, accused the BBS of instigating racial tensions and called upon the government to ban the BBS and take legal action against its leader Gnanasara. Vasudeva Nanayakkara, Minister of National Languages and Social Integration and leader of the Democratic Left Front has called for BBS leader Gnanasaara and other BBS members to be arrested for instigating racial tensions which led to the riots. However, Champika Ranawaka, Minister of Technology, Research and Atomic Energy and leading member of the Jathika Hela Urumaya, blamed the violence on Muslim extremists and accused the United States of nurturing a Taliban in Sri Lanka. Rajapaksa has criticised ministers who were critical of the government's and police's response. At the 26 regular session of the United Nations Human Rights Council on 20 June 2014 the Sri Lankan government blamed Muslims for the riots.

The BBS has denied responsibility for the riots, saying it did not organise the rally in Aluthgama on 15 June 2014.

The main opposition United National Party (UNP) condemned the riots and blamed the governing United People’s Freedom Alliance for instigating the violence. UNP MP
Mangala Samaraweera, a vocal critic of the Rajapaksa government, went as far as to name three senior military intelligence officers - General (retd) Kapila Hendawitharana (defence ministry advisor), Colonel Suresh Salley and Deputy Inspector General Chandra Wakishta (deputy chief of the State Intelligence Service) - whom he accused of instigating the violence. The violence was also condemned by religious leaders and civil society groups.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed concern at the communal violence and urged the government to ensure the safety of all Sri Lankans. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay issued a statement on 16 June 2014 expressing alarm at the riots and urging the government to halt the violence and hate speech and bring the perpetrators to book. The European Union delegation in Colombo, with the support of the Norwegian, Swiss and Turkish embassies, issued a statement on 20 June 2014 condemning the violence and urging the government to uphold the rule of law. Organisation of Islamic Co-operation Secretary General Iyad bin Amin Madani expressed serious concern at the violence against Muslims and observed a rising trend of violence by extremists.

The US embassy in Colombo also a statement on 16 June 2014 condemning the violence and urging the government to restore order and bring the perpetrators to justice. The following day United States Department of State spokesperson Jen Psaki stated that the US condemned the violence and blamed it on recent "inflammatory rhetoric". Canada's Ambassador for Religious Freedom Andrew P. W. Bennett issued a statement on 16 June 2014 condemning the communal violence against Muslims and calling for a swift and transparent investigation into the violence.

Amnesty International urged the government to take action to end the violence immediately, rein in groups targeting religious minorities, protect Muslims and bring to account those responsible for the violence. Human Rights Watch has urged the government to urgently investigate the violence, and identify and investigative those responsible for the attacks on Muslims.

The riots took place in a popular tourist area which prompted some foreign governments to issue travel advisories to their citizens.

title: Cilentana Fulva

text:
The Cilentana Fulva is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from the province of Salerno, in Campania in southern Italy. It takes its name from the geographical region of the Cilento, much of which is today within the Parco Nazionale del Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni, and is raised in that area,  in the Monti Picentini, and throughout the province of Salerno. It is one of three indigenous goat breeds in the Cilento, the others being the Cilentana Grigia and the Cilentana Nera. The Cilentana Fulva is found on lower ground and richer pasture than the Cilentana Nera, and is raised mainly for milk. It appears to derive from inter-breeding of local goats with the Maltese and particularly the Derivata di Siria, with which it shares many characteristics.

The Cilentana Fulva is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders. In 2008, about 1600 head were registered; at the end of 2013 the registered population was variously reported as 311 and as 297.

title: The Ridgeway School and Sixth Form College

text:
The Ridgeway School & Sixth Form College is a mixed secondary school and sixth form in Wroughton, near Swindon in the English county of Wiltshire.

The school was established in 1967 and was the first purpose-built comprehensive school in Wiltshire. Previously a foundation school administered by Swindon Borough Council, it converted to academy status in August 2011 and is part of the White Horse Federation, a multi-academy trust. The school continues to coordinate with Swindon Borough Council for admissions.

The school's catchment area includes Bishopstone, Hinton Parva, Wanborough, Liddington, Coate, Badbury, Chiseldon, Hodson, Bassett Down, Uffcott, Broad Hinton and Winterbourne Bassett. The school offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.

Controversy
In 2005, in an attempt to aid integration after the 7 July 2005 London bombings, the local council began sending British Asian youth from Swindon (outside the normal catchment area) to the school. Some of this group formed a gang which pupils and parents called the "Asian Invasion", who bullied other pupils.

On 11 January 2007, Henry Webster, a 15-year-old singled out for his red hair and large size, stood up to a member of the "Asian Invasion" and agreed for a one-on-one fight. However, the boy showed up with several others, including adults and Webster suffered injuries including brain damage from a hammer. In February 2008, four people were convicted for the attack. By May, thirteen had been convicted.

In February 2010, the High Court of Justice ruled in favour of the school when it was sued by Webster and his family. He had claimed that although the attack was outside school hours, it had been caused by the school's lack of action against the "Asian Invasion". In September that year, a case review was published about the situation at the school, which recommended that all incidents of bullying should record the ethnicity of perpetrators and victims to look for racial motivations.

title: Leslie Graves (nonprofit executive)

text:
Leslie Graves is the founder and president of Ballotpedia, a nonprofit online political encyclopedia.

Education
Graves has a bachelor's degree in liberal arts from St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland. She did graduate work in philosophy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

She co-authored "Is indeterminism the source of the statistical character of evolutionary theory?" in the Philosophy of Science and wrote "Transgressive traditions and art definitions" for the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism.

Early career
In 1980, Graves collected signatures to qualify the Libertarian Party's presidential candidate, Ed Clark, for a spot on the ballot. She later served as Wisconsin chair of the Libertarian Party, and as the party's national finance chair.

Ballotpedia
In December 2006, Graves founded the Lucy Burns Institute, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that publishes Ballotpedia. In 2012, Graves authored a guidebook titled Local Ballot Initiatives: How citizens change laws with clipboards, conversations, and campaigns.

Graves' political analysis has been included in the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Bloomberg News, Campaigns and Elections, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Judgepedia was originally launched in 2007 by the Chicago-based nonprofit of her spouse, Sam Adams Alliance. Graves was "busy at that time with WikIFOIA," she did not think she could take on a project the size of Judgepedia. Graves stayed involved in the project as a volunteer and then a consultant. In March 2009, when the founding editor of the Judgepedia project left the Sam Adams Alliance, a staff member from Graves' group stepped in as editor, which led to the decision to cede sponsorship to the Lucy Burns Institute in July.

Personal life
Graves is married to political activist Eric O'Keefe.

Olympic rower Carie Graves is one of her three sisters. In 1998, all four Graves sisters competed in team rowing at the Nike World Games under the name "Team Four Sisters."

title: Distinguished Service Medal, Silver

text:
The Distinguished Service Medal, Silver was instituted by the President of the Republic of Venda in 1985, for award to all ranks for outstanding service and devotion to duty.

The Venda Defence Force
The 900 member Venda Defence Force (VDF) was established upon that country's independence on 13 September 1979. The Republic of Venda ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Venda Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Distinguished Service Medal, Silver was instituted by the President of Venda in 1985. It is the middle award of a set of three decorations for merit, along with the Distinguished Service Medal, Gold and the Venda Defence Force Medal.

Venda's military decorations and medals were modeled on those of the Republic of South Africa and these three decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Southern Cross Decoration and Pro Merito Decoration, the Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975), and the Military Merit Medal.

Award criteria
The medal could be awarded to all ranks for outstanding service and devotion to duty.

Order of wear

Since the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date.

Venda Defence Force until 26 April 1994

Official VDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Distinguished Service Medal, Gold.
 Succeeded by the Venda Defence Force Medal.
Venda official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the National Force Outstanding Service Medal (SOE).
 Succeeded by the Police Star for Outstanding Service (SOE).

South African National Defence Force from 27 April 1994

Official SANDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Pro Merito Medal (1967) (PMM) of the Republic of South Africa.
 Succeeded by the Southern Cross Medal (1975) (SM) of the Republic of South Africa.
Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the KwaZulu Police Star for Outstanding Service.
 Succeeded by the Police Star for Outstanding Service (SOE) of the Republic of Venda.

The position of the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver in the official order of precedence was revised twice after 1994, to accommodate the inclusion or institution of new decorations and medals, first in April 1996 when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003, but it remained unchanged on both occasions.

The Distinguished Service Medal, Silver is, in effect, Venda's equivalent of the South African Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975). It would appear, therefore, as though the position of the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver, instituted in 1985, in the official order of precedence was allocated in error. According to their dates of institution, it should have taken precedence after the Pro Merito Medal (1975) and not after the Pro Merito Medal (1967). Its correct position in the order of wear would therefore be after Bophuthatswana's Defence Force Merit Medal of 1982 and before Ciskei's Sandile Medal of 1988.

Description
Obverse
The Distinguished Service Medal, Silver is a medallion, struck in silver, 38 millimetres in diameter, with the letter V above two interlaced rings.

Reverse
The reverse displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Venda and, around the perimeter beneath, the words "MENDELE WA TSHUVELO KWAYO".

Ribbon
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide, with a 3 millimetres wide green band, a 2 millimetres wide brown band and a 9 millimetres wide blue band, repeated in reverse order and separated by a 4 millimetres wide white band.

Discontinuation
Conferment of the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver was discontinued when the Republic of Venda ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.

title: Coptic Epact Numbers

text:
Coptic Epact Numbers is a Unicode block containing old Coptic number forms.

These numbers were used in some regions instead of letters of the Coptic alphabet that were used for encoding numbers, as was common in much of the world at the time, like Roman numerals. It was used most extensively in the Bohairic dialect of the Coptic language that became the liturgical language of Egyptian Christians. It contains separate characters for each of the digits, 1-9 (0 was not indicated), each of the tens numbers from 10-90, and each of the hundreds numbers from 100-900. Numbers were composed from left-to-right by successively adding the values that each character or digit represented. There is a thousand mark diacritic that multiplies the digit by one thousand (so 5 with thousand mark = 5,000, 900 with thousand mark indicates 900,000) Two of the thousands marks together (visually similar to a tanween al-kasra in Arabic) represents a million in a similar fashion, and mirrors other Coptic conventions of indicating higher orders by repetition of marks.

History
The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Coptic Epact Numbers block:

title: Paul Attfield

text:
John Paul Attfield (born 1962)  is a Professor of Materials science in the School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh and Director of the Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions (CSEC).

Education
Attfield was educated at Durham Johnston School in Durham, England and the University of Oxford where he was a student at Magdalen College, Oxford. He was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry followed by a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1987 for his work on chemical crystallography supervised by Anthony Cheetham and Peter Battle.

Career and research
Attfield was appointed a lecturer, and subsequently a Reader at the University of Cambridge from 1991 to 2003. Attfield's research focuses on synthesis, structural studies, and property measurements for electronic materials such as transition metal oxides. His research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Attfield has made significant contributions to the study of the Verwey transition in magnetite, solving its charge ordering properties.

Paul Attfield has made distinctive contributions to the experimental understanding of structure in the solid-state, in particular pioneering the use of resonant X-ray scattering to study cation and valence ordering effects and characterising charge-order in strongly correlated systems such as magnetite. He introduced the cation-size variance as a concept to rationalise and predict disorder effects, with a substantial impact on the study and preparation of technologically important materials. He has synthesised and characterised new materials with novel electronic properties, including high-Tc superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, and negative thermal expansion, including new developments in chemical synthesis.

Awards and honours
Attfield was awarded the Meldola Medal and Prize by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) in 1991; the Corday-Morgan Medal of the RSC in 1998; and the Peter Day Award in 2013. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014 for “substantial contribution to the improvement of natural knowledge”. In 2016, Attield was awarded a Daiwa Adrian Prize, recognizing his work as part of a British-Japanese scientific collaboration.

title: Home (1954 TV program)

text:
Home was an American daytime television program hosted by Arlene Francis. Intended for an audience of women, it debuted in 1954 as one of NBC's three major non-primetime shows. While the other two shows—Today and Tonight—are still being produced 60 years later, Home was cancelled in 1957.

Format
Each hour-long show is presented in a series of short segments which discuss topics in a depth typical of a magazine article. A segment may be either entertaining or informational. Topics typically relate to homemaking but may also include civic, cultural, and social issues and interviews with newsmakers. Twelve minutes of each broadcast are devoted to the promotion of consumer goods from the show's sponsors; these commercials often take place within the informational segments of the show itself.

Instead of imitating the look of an actual house as cooking shows did, Home'''s producers made it obvious that it was taking place in a modern television studio. The $200,000 revolving set had a kitchen, a workshop, and an area to demonstrate the effects of weather on the sponsors' products. A garden area contained soil samples from each of the 48 U.S. states; an additional sample to represent Washington, D.C., was provided by Vice President Richard Nixon.

 On-air staff
Arlene Francis hosted the program as editor-in-chief with Hugh Downs serving as her announcer and assistant. Music was performed by the Norman Paris Trio and singer Johnny Johnston. The team of editors presenting segments on particular topics included Poppy Cannon (food), Rose Franzblau (family relations and child psychology), Eve Hunter (fashion and beauty), Sydney Smith (interior decorating), Estelle Parsons (special projects), Leona Baumgartner (health), and Will Peigelbeck (gardening and home repairs).Cassidy 2005, p. 137.

 History
NBC executive Sylvester "Pat" Weaver began planning a concept called Shopping in late 1951, intending to attract an audience of upper middle class women. Its content and segmented format were inspired by the success of women's magazines, local cooking shows, and the NBC network's Today show. By aiming for a particular target demographic, the network hoped to attract sponsors from women's magazines who would not be interested in advertising on a show meant for the masses.Cassidy 2005, p. 135.

Three talk shows that Weaver created (Today, Home, and Tonight) were intended to complement each other and were referred to as the "T-H-T" package.Cassidy 2005, p. 133. These programs helped to establish the practice of selling advertising rights to several temporary sponsors. The usual practice at the time involved a single sponsor being responsible for an entire television series.

After spending $1 million promoting Home, NBC predicted that 10% of television-equipped U.S. households would watch the program. This rating fell to about 3 by the month after Home's March 1, 1954, premiere. The network responded to these low ratings by adding more entertaining segments.

Although the series was nominated for a 1956 Emmy Award for Best Contribution to Daytime Programming, it continued to have low ratings. That same year it was moved from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., a timeslot with less competition. In that season Home had a rating of 2.5, whereas CBS's 10:00 and 10:30 programs were at 6.5 and 7.5, respectively. The 893rd and final episode of Home was broadcast on August 9, 1957. For the following six months Francis hosted a livelier and "less restrained" talk show called The Arlene Francis Show''.

title: Chaco patagonica

text:
Chaco patagonica is a species of mygalomorph spiders of Argentina, named after its type locality, the Patagonia in Chubut, Argentina. The species can be distinguished from C. tecka by not having a patterned cephalothorax and legs, by possessing less maxillary cuspules and by the absence of pseudopreening combs. It also differs from C. sanjuanina by having few labial cuspules.

Description
The female of the species has a total length of ; a cephalothorax length of , and a width of . Its labium length is 45% of its width; its sternum width is 66% of the length. Its labium possesses two cuspules, while the maxillae has six cuspules. A serrula is absent. Its cephalothorax is yellowish, with brown mottles on its caput and posterior part of its thorax; the abdomen is yellowish with mottles. Pubescence is very light.

Behaviour and distribution

The spiders of this species make a small burrow closed with a thin, flaplike door. The door is made from the silk layer lining the interior of the burrow, covered by grains of sand. As the spiders dig their burrow on inclined places (about 45 degrees), the sand falls over it when the flap is closed, covering the burrow fully. The burrows are about  in diameter, and  deep; its walls consist of a silk tube which prevents the sand from collapsing. It has only been found at its type locality.

title: Tidarren argo

text:
Tidarren argo is a spider from Yemen. The species is remarkable by its male amputating one of its palps before maturation and entering his adult life with one palp only. It adopts exceptional copulatory behaviour: when the male achieves genitalia coupling with his palp, the latter is torn off by the female. The separated gonopod remains attached to the female's epigynum for approximately 4 hours and continues to function independently, serving as a mating plug. While this happens, the female feeds on the male. Emasculation thus synchronizes sexual cannibalism and sperm transfer, lengthening the interval between copulations. This mating behaviour might allow for the continuation of insemination by the dismembered palp.

title: Cilentana Grigia

text:
The Cilentana Grigia is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from the province of Salerno, in Campania in southern Italy. It takes its name from the geographical region of the Cilento, much of which is today within the Parco Nazionale del Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni, and is raised mainly in that area, but also in the Monti Alburni and the Monti Picentini. It is one of three indigenous goat breeds in the Cilento, the others being the Cilentana Fulva and the Cilentana Nera. The Cilentana Grigia is found on lower ground and richer pasture than the Cilentana Nera, and is raised mainly for milk. The origins of the breed are obscure; it shows the influence of the Maltese and Garganica breeds, and similarities to other Italian grey breeds such as the Ciociara Grigia of Lazio and the Argentata dell'Etna from Sicily.

The Cilentana Grigia is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders. In 2008, 768 head were registered; at the end of 2013 the registered population was 134.

title: Ali Hatem al-Suleiman

text:
Ali Hatem Abd al-Razzaq Ali al-Suleiman al-Assafi al-Dulaimi () (born 1971) is an Iraqi Sunni tribal leader (sheikh). He is the sheikh of the Dulaim tribe, in Al Anbar Governorate.

Early life
Ali was born in Baghdad in 1971. His father, Abd al-Razzaq, was the emir of the Dulaim tribe, one of the largest Arab tribes in Iraq. His grandfather, Ali al-Suleiman, led the confederation during the founding of Iraq. Its members are predominantly located in the Al Anbar Governorate.

Iraq War
Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Ali joined the Iraqi insurgency. His own tribe formed the nucleus of the resistance/insurgency against US forces and Shiite government forces in Iraq, due to the bombing of Fallujah and the targeting of Sunnis in Baghdad. However, in 2006 he and his armed tribesmen turned against Al-Qaeda, due to their often indiscriminate use of violence, as well as the fact that Al-Qaeda did not give enough respect to Anbar's sheikhs. Ali joined the Sons of Iraq movement, although he looked down on its leader, Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Risha, due to the small size of the Abu Risha tribe.

After leaving the insurgency, Ali became an important figure in Anbar. He formed a local police force of 60,000 gunmen from his tribe in Anbar.

Ali formed a political party, National Front for the Salvation of Iraq, in 2008. It ran as part of the State of Law Coalition of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, but quickly disagreements appeared, after the arrest of 10 men from his tribe in Ar Rutba, by the Karbala police. In response to the incident, Ali threaten to declare the State of Anbar. Ali formed another party (Baariq Iraq). However, his political party was banned from participating in the elections in 2014.

After the withdrawal of US troops, the Shiite government forces started to arrest Dulaimi civilians and killed them in Anbar. Ali, his brother Sheikh Abd al-Razzaq, and other sheikhs of the tribe set up weekly demonstrations in Ramadi in the Square of Pride and Dignity, for one year, demanding the release of Sunni detainees and the withdrawal of the army from the cities in Anbar. The government responded by killing ali al-Alwani and arresting his brother, Sunni MP Ahmed al-Alwani, from the Dulaim tribe (Albo-alon clan). As a result, the Dulaimis returned to the armed insurgency led by Ali.

Ali formed the Military Council of the tribal rebels in Al-Anbar.  He announced in a statement that Sunni territories will not be part of Iraq under Shiite rule.

2013–14 anti-government offensives

In 2013 and 2014, Ali was the leader of the Anbar Tribes Revolutionary Council, an anti-government militant group active in the ongoing Anbar clashes. Unlike some of the other groups active in anti-government activity, Ali's force does not advocate the overthrow of the Iraqi government, but instead is limited in ambition to defending Anbar from what it sees as aggression from the Iraqi central government.

Ali was involved in the 2014 Northern Iraq offensive, and he claimed that ISIL only constitutes 5–7% of the anti-government forces. He claimed that the majority of fighters are from Iraq's Sunni tribes. Ali also claimed that these tribal forces would be able to defeat ISIL, were the Maliki-run Iraqi government to withdraw government forces from north and north-central Iraq. However, Ali claimed that tribal forces would not fight ISIL until Maliki was removed from office and Sunnis are given their rights.

In early 2015, during the Battle of Ramadi, ISIL overran Ali's lands and forced him to retreat to Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Boyle Street is a short street in central London that is named after the Boyles, the Earls of Burlington, and is on land that was once part of the Burlington Estate.

The street runs east–west from the junction of the Coach and Horses Yard and Old Burlington Street, to Savile Row. On its north side is an office block and on the south side is the West End Central Police Station.

History
Although all offices today, the street once had houses and other buildings.

The Burlington Charity Schoolhouse was built in the street in about 1720, for a girls school founded in 1699 (the Burlington School for Girls).

Lord Sidney Beauclerk, son of the Duke of St. Albans and father of Topham Beauclerk, lived at number 1.

John Trusler, eccentric divine, lived at number 2 from 1764 to 1765. Elias Prestage, auctioneer who had auction rooms in Savile Row, was at number 1 in 1778. William Haines, engraver and painter, had his studio at No. 1, 1816–30.

title: Tommy Brennan

text:
Tommy Brennan MBE (20 August 1932 – 27 January 2022) was a Scottish trade unionist and political activist. A member of the Labour Party, Brennan was widely known for being the convenor of shop stewards at Ravenscraig steelworks. He led the fight to save the Scottish steel industry in the 1980s and 1990s, until he was made redundant in 1991, shortly before Ravenscraig's infamous closure. He worked at the plant for a total of 31 years.

Brennan was born in Carfin, Lanarkshire on 20 August 1932, as the middle of three brothers. He received an MBE in the 1991 New Year Honours.

When asked in 2013 to comment on the death of Margaret Thatcher, who had been accused of betraying steel workers in government, Brennan said: "I have a simple philosophy in life that if you look at every bad situation you may find a little plus there. The one plus I could find about Thatcher was that she brought salmon back to the Clyde – she closed all the industry on either side of it so they couldn't pollute it."

Brennan latterly re-emerged as a proponent of Scottish independence, ahead of the country's referendum.

Brennan died on 27 January 2022, at the age of 89.

"Good Day" is a song released and performed by the British rock band, The Kinks. The song, written by Ray Davies, appeared on the band's album, Word of Mouth.

Background

During the sessions for "Good Day," a drum machine was used instead of drummer Mick Avory, due to the conflicts between Avory and Dave Davies. Ray Davies said of this:

Release

"Good Day" was first released as a single in Britain (as well as Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden) in August 1984, backed with "Too Hot" (both songs would appear on Word of Mouth.) A maxi-single, with "Don't Forget to Dance" added to the two tracks already on the 7 inch single, was also released in the UK. "Good Day", however, was unsuccessful, as it did not chart in any country. In November of that year, "Good Day" appeared as the third track on the first side of The Kinks' album, Word of Mouth. Word of Mouth was a modest success in America (hitting #57), but the album did not achieve the Top 20 success that its predecessors State of Confusion, Give the People What They Want, and Low Budget had.

An extended edit of "Good Day" appears as a bonus track on some CD reissues of Word of Mouth.

Reception

"Good Day", despite its commercial failures, has received generally positive feedback from critics. AllMusic'''s Stephen Thomas Erlewine cited the track as a highlight from the Word of Mouth disc of the compilation album, The Arista Years (which is a box set of all Kinks albums released on the Arista label) despite not doing so in his review of Word of Mouth. Rolling Stone'' writer David Fricke said that, "for 'Good Day,' Ray dusts off his old 'Sunny Afternoon' ennui with a languid melody and a fragile, winning chorus."

Clark C. Gibson is an American political scientist, best known for his work on African politics, elections in emerging democracies, and environmental politics.   Gibson is currently a professor at the University of California, San Diego, where he previously served as chairman of the Department of Political Science. He has consulted for The World Bank, The United Nations, the Carter Center, the United States Agency for International Development, the National Democratic Institute, and the International Republican Institute.  Gibson has done influential work on electoral fraud.

Gibson graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame, then joined the Peace Corps, serving in Nepal.  Gibson subsequently worked as a paralegal and high school teacher in the Los Angeles area before beginning graduate study in political science at Duke University.  While working on his doctoral dissertation, Gibson conducted field work in Zambia, Africa where he studied wildlife politics and poaching in national parks.   While in Zambia, Gibson encountered a group of election observers led by Jimmy Carter and became involved in work on election monitoring and electoral fraud, eventually leading to Gibson's work in a variety of countries.  Gibson received his Ph.D. from Duke, then held several positions at Indiana University.  While at I.U., he worked on common pool resources with political economist Elinor Ostrom PhD at her Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis. Ostrom subsequently won the Nobel Prize in Economics with Oliver E. Williamson for her "analysis of economic governance, especially the commons". In 2001, Gibson joined the Department of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego as a tenured faculty member.

Gibson's academic work has mainly concentrated on issues and countries in Africa.  He has undertaken extensive studies on the subjects of foreign aid and political accountability.  Most recently, he has worked on using technology, specifically cellphones, to minimize electoral fraud in Afghanistan, Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa.  Gibson's work, coauthored with Karen Ferree and James Long, helped to point to discrepancies in the controversial results of 2007 Kenyan elections.  Gibson conducted an extensive exit poll in the election on behalf of the International Republican Institute and USAID. After the election poll's results were made available by Gibson, Feree, and Long, the results became subject to controversy due to the International Republican Institute's delay in releasing the poll results. The delay and its impact on public perceptions on the validity of the elections received international press.
