title: Nevenka Petrić

text:
Nevenka Petrić (11 March 1927, Maslovare – 27 December 2015 Belgrade) was a Serbian writer, poet, educationalist, and expert in the fields of family planning and gender relations. She joined the Partisans at the age of 14. She became a youth leader and then a head of Health and Social Policy in Yugoslavian local government. She was a member of the Yugoslav women's assembly, secretary of the Conference for Social Activity of Yugoslav Women (1961–69), and president of the Family Planning Council of Yugoslavia (1968–76). She represented Europe on the Central Council of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, and was president of that body's European committee for education. She assisted the United Nations Population Fund's research projects and also directed a UN course on gender relations and parenthood for students from developing countries.

Petrić has written many published works on family planning and gender relations, and has also written poetry published in four collections.

Life and work

Nevenka Petrić was born on 11 March 1927 at Maslovare (then Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, now Republika Srpska, Bosnia). After graduating from elementary school, Nevenka Petrić attended the Civic School for Girls in Banja Luka, but on the invasion of Yugoslavia on 6 April 1941, all schools in Yugoslavia stopped functioning, until after the liberation in 1945. Therefore, Nevenka's education was also interrupted. Nevenka's whole family joined the partisans in 1941, including then 14-year-old Nevenka. Nevenka died on 27 December 2015 in Belgrade, Serbia.

The War of Liberation 1941–1945
During the War of Liberation in Yugoslavia (1941–1945), Nevenka Petrić was a fighter against the German occupiers and collaborators, and after a short while, she became the youth leader of her troop, battalion, unit, and later the Banja Luka district and the whole of central Bosnia. She was actively engaged in creating anti-fascist youth organizations in both free and occupied territories, among civilians and the army. There were two youth units in the beginning, in Banja Luka and Prnjavor, and later new units were created in central Bosnia—Vlašić, Travnik, Uzlomac, Doboj, Derventa, Tešanj and others, and significantly later central Bosnian brigades were formed: 14th, 18th and 19th. For her war service she received the Spomenica 1941 award and other medals and awards.

At the First District Conference of the Young Communist League of Yugoslavia for the Banja Luka district, Nevenka was elected the first president of the youth alliance USAOJ (United Alliance of the Anti-Fascist Youth of Yugoslavia) for the Banja Luka district. After some time, at the District Conference of Youth of Central Bosnia, held in Teslić in September 1944, she was also elected the president of youth (USAOJ) for the whole of central Bosnia.

This marks the beginning of Nevenka's political engagement, both among the youth living in central Bosnia and the military units which were being formed during the war in the central Bosnian regions of Banja Luka, Uzlomac Mountain, Motajica Mountain, Prnjavor, Vlašić Mountain, Srbac, Teslić/Tešanj and others.

Nevenka was heavily involved in organizing the Second Congress of USAOJ in Drvar on 2 – 4 May 1944, and led the anti-fascist youth delegation.

After the Liberation
Immediately upon liberation in spring 1945, Nevenka Petrić was assigned to work in the liberated city of Banja Luka. On 22 April 1945 she was appointed the first president of the youth of metropolitan Banja Luka, and soon after, she was elected to serve as the president of the District Council of USAOJ for the Banja Luka district. In 1949 she was appointed the organizational secretary and, after 1950, the president of the District Committee of People's Youth for Bosnian Krajina. While serving in this position, she was sent to Higher Political School in Belgrade (1951–1954), where she graduated with excellence. In 1954 she returned to Banja Luka and was appointed the Chief Officer for Health and Social Policy in the Banja Luka City Council. In 1956 she worked as the Chief Officer for Health and Social Policy in Stari Grad, one of the central municipalities of Belgrade.

Work at national level
Petrić was elected to the Assembly of Representatives of Women of all Republics and Autonomous Provinces of Yugoslavia, held in Zagreb on 2–4 May 1961, to serve as a secretary for the Conference for Social Activity of Yugoslav Women. She served two four-year terms in this position and worked intensively on international issues. In this period, Petrić was active in science and education, at both the regional and the state level.

In 1967 she was elected vice president for the Family Planning Council of Yugoslavia, and the following year she was elected the president for a four-year term, and after that, reelected to the same position for another four years.

International work
In her capacity as the president of the Planned Parenthood Council of Yugoslavia, Petrić carried out elective functions at both the European and international level in education and at Planned Parenthood. She was the Yugoslavian representative for this international organization in London. In that capacity, she was elected to serve as the president of the European Committee for Education of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and as a member of the relevant committee at the international level as a European representative. She was also a member of the Central Council of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, as a representative of Europe.

She was the director for the UN international course The Humanization of Relations Between the Sexes and Responsible Parenthood, affiliated to the Rector's Office of the Sarajevo University, from 1982 until 1992. Participants in this course came from developing countries and were selected and sent to attend the course by the institutions of their governments.

Nevenka Petrić was also an expert of the United Nations' Population Fund from 1982 until 1992. In this capacity, she was occasionally involved in implementation of certain scientific and research projects in India, Indonesia, Greece, Romania, and other countries.

Other activities
Petrić is a member of the Association of Writers of Serbia and Vice-President of the Association of Writers of Yugoslavia. She is also a member of the Committee for International Cooperation of the Republic SUBNOR (Union of Associations of Fighters in the War of Liberation 1941–1945) for Serbia.

Education
Petrić graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of the Belgrade University in 1963 as a part-time student. In 1987 she took a doctorate at the Faculty of Philosophy of Sarajevo University, submitting a thesis on human freedoms, birth and self-management.

Bibliography

Academic and general
Nevenka Petrić published thirteen books, including one trilogy, We Even Reached the Stars (I, II and III) (1996). Also, a bibliography of Nevenka Petrić's publications over 50 years was published in 1997, titled Nevenka Petrić: Bibliography 1945–1995 (which included 893 works published in the above-mentioned period), as well as the book One Hundred and Fifty Years of My Family 1855–2005 (2006).

title: Saint Valentine's Key

text:
Saint Valentine's Key is a metal key charm named after Saint Valentine, the patron saint of love and marriage inter alia. The charm is used in the province of Padua, Italy, where it is believed to offer a cure for epilepsy, a condition traditionally known as "Saint Valentine's Malady." In addition to its curative properties, the key is also gifted as a romantic symbol, an invitation to "unlock the giver's heart."

History
The use of Saint Valentine's Key as a charm to ward off epilepsy and other seizure disorders dates back to the Middle Ages. In northern Italy, epilepsy was once commonly referred to as "Saint Valentine's Malady", and Saint Valentine's icon and other holy items were invoked for healing. In Padua, Saint Valentine's Key was particularly popular among those seeking a cure for epilepsy. The key was also common in southern Germany, eastern Switzerland, and Austria, where Saint Valentine was also appealed to for healing.

In Local Culture

A special ceremony is held on Saint Valentine's Day each year at the St. George's Oratory, Padua. The ceremony involves the gifting of small golden Saint Valentine's Keys to children, which are believed to ward off epilepsy. The tradition has been observed for centuries and is still celebrated today. The keys are a cherished part of Paduan culture and are considered a symbol of love and protection.

Symbolism
In addition to its healing properties, Saint Valentine's Key is also gifted as a symbol of love and affection. The charm is often given to a romantic partner as an invitation to "unlock the giver's heart." The key is also associated with marriage and is sometimes given as a wedding gift.

Popular culture
Saint Valentine's Key has been featured in popular culture, including in literature and film. In the novel "The Enchanted April" by Elizabeth von Arnim, a character gives a Saint Valentine's Key to her husband as a symbol of her renewed love for him. The charm was also prominently featured in the 2010 film Letters to Juliet, where a character gifts a Saint Valentine's Key to her granddaughter as a symbol of hope and love.

title: Bartolino da Novara

text:
Bartolino (Bertolino) Ploti da Novara (died 1406–1410) was an Italian military architect and engineer.

He was in the service of the Este that in the city of Ferrara in 1376 presented him with a palace in which he lived also his descendant Domenico Maria Novara teacher of Copernicus and in 1385 for those gentlemen designed the Estense Castle.

In 1395 he was at the court of Francesco Gonzaga. For the Lord of Mantua, at the beginning of the fifteenth century, he made major architectural and urban interventions in the area of the court and of the bishopric, which were demolished some old churches such as Santa Maria and Santa Croce in Capodibove to make way for the building of the castle Gonzaga. He was also commissioned by Francis to build the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace.

In 1402 began the construction of the fortress of Finale Emilia, which was enlarged in 1425 to a design by Giovanni da Siena for Niccolò III d'Este.

In 1404 he was responsible for the construction of defensive bastions along the Po.

As a military engineer, he had assignments by the Visconti of Milan and the Lordship De 'Medici of Florence.

title: James Clifford (designer)

text:
James Clifford is an American fashion designer specializing in wedding gowns.

Early life
Clifford was born and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts. As a child, he designed outfits for comic book characters and dreaming of creating clothes for the film and theater industries.

Career

Early career
Clifford attended the New England School of Design. With little intention of entering the bridal industry, his unclear plans after college resulted in him working at the House of Bianchi in Boston where he began his career as a designer.

Following his two years at the House of Bianchi, Clifford worked at Priscilla of Boston. During his time at Priscilla, he designed clothing for the First Family (the daughters of presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon). James often cites the Johnson wedding, in which he designed and created the bridal party’s gowns in the Lincoln bedroom, as one of the finest moments of his career. After 19 years at Priscilla of Boston, James moved to New York City as head designer at Galina-Bouquet, Inc., where he was featured in the company’s advertisements.

In 1987, Clifford joined a major bridal manufacturer under his own label. His label was the only publicly held bridal house in the country. Originally James Clifford was known as Jim Hjelm, but rights to his name as a designer were taken away by JLM Couture in legal disputes. His gowns veered on the side of traditional and incorporated nets, silks, and lace.

Twenty-first century
In 2004, Clifford joined Mon Cheri to launch The James Clifford Collection. This collection remains popular as James continues to produce timeless gowns.

title: Prenti Downs

text:
Prenti Downs Station is a pastoral lease and cattle station located in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

It is situated approximately  to the east of Wiluna and  north of Laverton. Neighbouring properties include Carnegie and Windidda Stations.

The area is composed of a mixture of landscapes including saltbush dominated  clay pans, mulga country and grasslands. The stock can be watered at 34 different water points as well as numerous claypans and fresh water creeks. In 2013 Prenti Downs was carrying a herd of 4,000 shorthorn cattle.

The property was put on the market in 2013, when it occupied an area of ; Prenti Downs was sold in late March 2015 to the Carmody family who have since taken over management of the property. An area of approximately  in the middle of the property making up the area of Lake Carnegie was not included in the sale.

New Management
After purchasing the property a new style of management of livestock was introduced, self mustering yards, in an effort to manage large feral herbivores and wild cattle. This reduces animal stress, and non-productive grazers.

Technology Driven
Since registering a Human-induced regeneration carbon sequestration project Prenti Downs have started to deploy a remote monitoring system across the property to better manage the total grazing pressure in an effort to promote the restoration of native forest cover.

title: Büchen station

text:
Büchen station is a railway junction in Büchen in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. About 4,000 passengers embark or disembark each day (as of 2013).

In front of the station building there is a bus stop with connections to the surrounding villages. Büchen station is served by trains on the Berlin–Hamburg and Lübeck–Lüneburg lines.

During the division of Germany, Büchen was a border station on the line between Berlin and Hamburg in the Federal Republic of Germany.

History

The station was opened on 15 October 1851 with the completion of the Lübeck–Büchen section of the Lübeck–Lüneburg line by the Lübeck-Büchen Railway (German: Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn, LBE). It is also located on the Berlin-Hamburg line, which had already been opened in 1846. Simultaneously with the opening of the Büchen line of the LBE, the Berlin-Hamburg Railway Company (Berlin-Hamburger Eisenbahn-Aktiengesellschaft), opened a branch line from Büchen to Lauenburg. Passenger services were soon running on the Lübeck–Lauenburg route and after the opening of the bridge over the Elbe in Lauenburg to Lüneburg.

In April 1945, the station was seriously damaged by bombing and, at the end of the month, German troops demolished the bridge over the Elbe–Lübeck Canal to the east of the station.

After the Second World War, the Berlin–Hamburg line was divided between Schwanheide station and Büchen by the Inner German border. On the eastern side of the border, one of the two tracks between Berlin and Schwanheide was dismantled for reparations. Later the second track was removed on the western side between Büchen and Schwarzenbek, the next station.

Traffic was initially completely interrupted in the vicinity of the border. In the summer of 1946, the bridge over the Elbe–Lübeck Canal was restored, but freight was not resumed until 27 August 1947. First, it was agreed that a pair of passenger trains could also run, but they were not introduced. For the time being three through freight trains ran each day in each direction and were handed over between Büchen and Schwanheide. In the autumn of the same year it was agreed to operate additional freight trains. During the Berlin Blockade in 1948, traffic decreased significantly, but did not come to a complete standstill. On 10 September 1949, passenger traffic was resumed with two pairs of trains, one operated by railcars of the Cologne class (Bauart Köln), which were derived from the Flying Hamburger.

In 1953, ten regular and three as-required freight trains ran towards the west and five regular and three as-required freight trains ran towards the east. Freight trains running in transit to and from West Berlin passed through Büchen from 1965. The border crossing was the most important in West Germany for the transport of freight, especially in transit between Comecon countries and the port of Hamburg. It saved foreign exchange as it was the shortest route to West Germany. Almost 433,000 wagons in 12,250 freight trains were moved in 1982. Crossing the border at Büchen station took about two hours for a freight train. The change of locomotive between Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn always occurred in Büchen until 1973 but DR locomotives could also haul passenger trains to and from Hamburg.

With the upgrading of the route as part of the German Unity Transport Projects (Verkehrsprojekte Deutsche Einheit), the Hagenow Land–Büchen section was electrified in 1996. Today, in addition to Regionalbahn and Regional-Express services, some EuroCity services operate on the Hamburg–Berlin–Dresden–Prague–Budapest route and the EuroCity Vindobona runs between Hamburg and Villach.

In October 2010, the renovation of the station started with the demolition of the old station building. Extensive work, costing €4.5 million, was officially completed in November 2013.

Infrastructure

The Berlin–Hamburg railway passes through the town along a straight route from the southeast to the northwest. Before the conversion of the line into a high-speed line the platforms were arranged next to each other. The high-speed line now fans out in the station area into four parallel tracks with the two inner tracks, which are upgraded for speeds up to 230 km/h and are for non-stop high-speed passenger traffic. The outer tracks each have outside platforms and are numbered 1 (towards Berlin) and 4 (Hamburg). These serve long-distance and regional services on the Hamburg–Rostock and Hamburg–Berlin routes and also as the terminus of regional services from Aumühle, without hindering the passage of Intercity-Express trains. These two platform tracks continue about 1.5 km from the station towards Hamburg and then connect with the double-track main line. These tracks all have electric overhead line.

The one track of the non-electrified Lübeck–Lüneburg line runs from the north to the southeast briefly connecting with the Berlin–Hamburg line and branching through several systems of points and branching off again after about 400 metres to the south towards Lauenburg and Lüneburg. After this junction, this line runs as two tracks in the station area with an intervening island platform. These two tracks are numbered on the island platform as tracks 40 and 41, while an additional platform next to the station building to the north of these two tracks is numbered as 140.

Tracks branch off the Lübeck–Lüneburg line to the north of the Berlin-Hamburg route alongside the platform tracks including tracks for handling freight, which have now been largely dismantled. Several sidings also branch off from the Lübeck–Lüneburg line to the south of the Berlin–Hamburg line.

Access

The station precincts include local municipal buildings across the tracks from the station building and some undeveloped land.  A pedestrian tunnel has been built below the north-western end of the rail precinct running under both railways to give access to the platforms with entrances at both ends.  Stairs gives access from this tunnel to platforms 1 and 4 on the Berlin-Hamburg line, as well as the western part of town. The tunnel entrances and platform stairs do not have escalators or lifts. New construction due to be carried out in 2011 and 2012 would provide lifts from the pedestrian tunnel to platform 4 and to platforms 1 and 140, which is connected to the island platform served by tracks 40 and 41.

Platform 140 is accessible from platform 1 via a paved footpath over the partly unpaved area between the angle of the railway tracks. The island platform fronting tracks 40 and 41 can be reached from the end of platform 140 by a level crossing over track 40.

Buildings and service facilities

The original station building was destroyed in 1945. In the 1950s, a large entrance building was built with border crossing facilities. This was demolished in 2011. A new station building was built.

There was a water tower between the island platform and the sidings, which was a two-story building and had two water tanks to supply steam locomotives and also served as a drinking water reservoir for the station building. It was built in 1912 and demolished in 2013.

Since the renovation, the station has had an entrance building built of containers with a Deutsche Bahn travel centre and a branch of a local baking chain.

title: Nyborg Slot

text:
Nyborg Slot is a restored medieval castle in Nyborg on the Danish island of Funen.   The castle figures prominently in Danish history. It was here that King Eric V Klipping signed Denmark's first constitution in 1282. The castle was also the venue for the Danehof, the country's first parliament. The castle is operated as a part of Østfyns Museum (Østfyns Museer) which also includes Borgmestergården in Mads Lerches Gård.

History
Established around 1170, the moated castle was originally square-shaped with corner towers connected by a curtain wall. A residential building (palatium) was constructed next to the west wall in the mid-13th century and a strong defensive tower was built on the east wall. It was here that King Eric V signed Denmark's first constitution in 1282. Until 1413, the palatium was the main venue for the Danehof or medieval parliament.

King Christian III,  who frequently stayed in the building, created a new banqueting hall and a tower in the 1540s. Under King Christian IV,  additional work was performed by the Italian architect Domenicus Badiaz in 1607, when the main tower (Knudstårnet) received a spire similar to that of Copenhagen's Blåtårn. The castle was seriously damaged during the Dano-Swedish War (1657–58). Thereafter, most of the buildings were torn down, the stone being used from 1722 for the construction of Odense Palace. The buildings still standing were used to store grain or gunpowder. The castle was restored from 1917 to 1923 by Mogens Clemmensen. It then became a museum.

Restoration
The castle was in a sorry state when the garrison left Nyborg in 1913. Nevertheless, encouraged by local interest in the building, the National Museum of Denmark decided to undertake extensive restoration work under the leadership of Mogens Clemmensen. On the basis of carefully conducted archaeological investigations, the work proceeded for some 10 years but in 1925 the funding was exhausted. While most of the building had been restored, work was not completed on much of the north wing or on some of the interior details. In general, Clemmensen based his work on the state of the castle under Christian III but he also added numerous details he discovered in other sources, not always clearly documenting them.

After the restoration, the rooms were fitted out with furniture acquired from various historic manor houses. There are three banqueting halls, each representing an important period in Danish history: the Danehof Room (Danehofsalen) hosted parliamentary meetings, court representatives of the Kalmar Union met in Margrethe's Hall (Margrethes riddersal) while in Christian III's Hall (Christian 3's riddersale) there is a display depicting the period when Nyborg served as the nation's capital until 1560.

Located at Slotsgade 34, the castle is open to visitors from 10 am to 3 pm in April, May, September and October and every day from 10 am to 4 pm in June, July and August.

Østfyns Museum
Østfyns Museum was formed in 2009 by a merger between Kerteminde Museum and Nyborg Museum. The museum had three primary operations: Nyborg Slot including  Borgmestergården,  Johannes Larsen Museet    and the Vikingmuseum Ladby.

title: Fairhaven, Victoria

text:
Fairhaven is a coastal locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia. In the 2021 census, Fairhaven had a population of 390 people.

The village is a popular holiday destination, with many homes being used for that purpose. It adjoins Fairhaven Beach, which at 6 km long is the longest beach on the Great Ocean Road. The village is separated from adjoining Aireys Inlet by the Painkalac Creek, and development in recent years has seen Fairhaven become increasingly joined to the Aireys Inlet township.

Fairhaven Beach is a popular surfing destination, and the Fairhaven Surf Lifesaving Club, which was founded in 1957, has been described as Fairhaven's "social centre". The club operated out of a volunteer-built clubhouse from 1960 until 2012, when the building was demolished to allow for the construction of a new modern one. Numerous delays saw the club operating out of shipping containers for more than a year, but a new clubhouse finally opened in December 2013.
The locality was mentioned in the 1991 Hollywood blockbuster “Point Break” during the final portion of the movie on a radio weather warning for a cyclone whose eye was about to cross over the locality during the famed 50 year storm. In reality the area is around 1500 kilometres south of the zone in which a cyclone can form.
A local landmark is the Pole House, situated on a concrete column 40 metres above Fairhaven Beach. The original house, built in 1978, was demolished in 2013 after the owners thwarted a bid to list the building on the Victorian Heritage Register. In 2013–14, a house was rebuilt on the existing pole, to a modern design along similar lines. Better Homes and Gardens filmed a segment there for the opening of the replacement house in early 2014.

The Fairhaven area was badly damaged in the Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983.

title: Atelopus barbotini

text:
Atelopus barbotini, popularly known as the purple fluorescent frog or more accurately the purple harlequin toad, is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.

General Information

The toad was formerly considered part of the Atelopus spumarius.  It is not clear whether or not it is a single species or a group of related species.  In the past the species has also been called Atelopus flavescens.

Several publications have touched on the subject of Atelopus barbotini.  In 2005 Noonan and Gaucher wrote in Molecular Ecology that there was evidence that Atelopus barbotini might not be conspecific with Atelopus spumarius.  They didn't make a change to the taxology of the species though.  In 2011 Lötters, van der Meijden, et al. argued that Atelopus barbotini and Atelopus spumarius were not conspecific, but that Atelopus flavescens may be conspecific with Atelopus barbotini.

Size

Atelopus barbotini are a smaller species of toad only reaching approximately 2.5cm for males and 3.5cm for females as adults.

Range

It is endemic to the uplands of central French Guiana.

Reasons for Decline in Population

Deforestation and disease are the main causes for population decline in recent years. Because French Guyana has few laws and restrictions for logging, there are often issues with sustaining enough range for the toads to maintain a steady population.

Male'an Sampi is a traditional cattle race conducted annually in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The race is open to the public. It takes place during the festival held following the harvest. Translated from the Sasak language, Male'an Sampi literally means to run or chase after (male'an) a cow or cattle (sampi). The race is not run on traditional racing terrain but rather on a rice paddy, requiring the cattle to struggle for approximately 200 meters through several inches or more of water. The individual animals are decorated by their respective owners to identify them during the race and add to the festive atmosphere.

title: William John Newton

text:
Sir William John Newton (1785–1869) was an English miniature-painter, in fashion in the early part of the 19th century.

Life
Born in London, he was the son of James Newton the engraver, and nephew of Willam Newton (1735–1790) the architect. He began his career as an engraver, and executed a few plates, including a portrait of Joseph Richardson, M.P., after Martin Archer Shee. Concentrating then on miniature-painting, he became one of the most fashionable artists of his day, and for many years his only real rival was Sir William Ross. In 1831 he was appointed miniature-painter in ordinary to William IV and Queen Adelaide, and from 1837 to 1858 held the same post under Queen Victoria. He was knighted in 1837.

Though popular, Newton was never elected to the Royal Academy. He long resided in Argyll Street, London; after his retirement he moved to 6 Cambridge Terrace, Hyde Park, where he died 22 January 1869.

Works

Newton was a constant contributor to Royal Academy exhibitions, from 1808 to 1863. He found a method for joining several pieces of ivory to form a large surface, and was then able to paint some larger groups. Three of these were: The Coronation of the Queen, 1838; The Marriage of the Queen, 1840; and The Christening of the Prince of Wales, 1842.

Many of Newton's portraits were engraved, including those of Stephen Lushington, Joanna Baillie, Sir Herbert Taylor, Joseph Hume, Lady Byron, Mary Ann Paton, and Lady Sophia Gresley. Some drawings by Newton, among them a self-portrait, went to the print room of the British Museum.

Family
Newton married in 1822 Anne, daughter of Robert Faulder; she died in 1856. Their son, Harry Robert Newton, an architect, studied under Sydney Smirke; he died in November 1889. His collection of drawings and manuscripts went to the Institute of British Architects.

title: Royalties (brand management agency)

text:
Royalties is a brand management agency based in Paris, France. The agency was originally created in 2008 as Publicis Royalties, by Publicis Worldwide and Eurogroup Consulting and is now independently owned by two of the founding partners: David Jobin and Olivier Bontemps. The agency has offices in France and China.

History

Jobin met Alexandre De Coupigny while they were both employed at Interbrand in 2003, with the former serving as managing director and the latter as director of Brand Valuation. In 2008, they joined with Bontemps, co-founder of the agency View, which specialized in motion design, to launch their own agency. The trio pitched their branding agency project to several major organisations, one of which was the Publicis Group.

At this time, Publicis France, under the leadership of Philippe Lenstchener (past president of Publicis France), was looking to develop a brand management offering. Publicis and Eurogroup jointly contributed to the founding of the agency, which became the flagship branding agency of the Publicis Group. It quickly grew from the financial assessment of brands to the creation and management of brands, from their positioning in the market to their visual and verbal identities.

Radio France, Orange S.A., La Société des bains de mer de Monaco and Pages Jaunes formed the agency's initial client-base. In the following years it would win further projects for Atos, HSBC, Castorama, Deutsch Telekom group, Galeries Lafayette, Kingfisher, Société Générale, SFR, and the Palace of Versailles, among others.

In 2014, Publicis sold its 60% stake in Royalties to the agency's founding members, giving Royalties its independence. Shortly after, De Coupigny left the agency.

2018 - the move to Ecobranding

Sylvain Boyer, the founder of Ecobranding, joined Royalties in 2018. The overarching principle of Ecobranding is to cut down on the resources used to communicate a brand. It reduces the environmental and financial costs of communications and is verified by an independent scientific review. Though it uses less, the aim of Ecobranding is to distill a brand's visual expression and improve its impact and accessibility, as well as being visible proof of a company's commitment to change.

Royalties has since adapted its client approach to incorporate Boyer's research and findings, with the addition of an extra pillar, ‘resilience’, to the existing brand model of ‘meaning, appearance, and experience.’ This marked a significant change in Royalties raison d’etre, a codified acknowledgment that no brand can be complete without meeting the obligations it has to society.

Many of Royalties’ best-known clients have adopted elements of the Ecobranding method, including Orange S.A. Royalties was approached for a full review of Orange's physical and digital touchpoints. As a brand that is seen mostly on digital, Royalties designed a new, simpler digital logo with higher visibility, 56% less data, and 28% less ink.

The new decade gave Royalties a bigger platform to display its commitment to ecobranding. Atos, a global frontrunner in decarbonized and secure IT, sought a complete refresh of its visual identity. Royalties won the tender by proposing a novel solution based around a single principle: keep screens dark, and keep paper white. The designs were chosen to use less energy on digital and less ink on paper. These comprehensive changes were reviewed and validated independently.

Yet the most notable example of ecobranding came from the 2024 Summer Olympics. The IOC expressed a wish for the Paris Olympics to be the most inclusive Games ever held, with respect to the Paralympics and gender equality. The winning design proposed by Royalties is a rich combination of Parisian architecture, French personality, Olympic iconography, inclusion, and, of course, ecobranding. The design is the first female face used in the Olympics; it uses few lines, is geometrically pure, and uses only one colour; and it is the first logo to be used for both the Olympics and the Paralympics.

Today the principles of ecobranding can be seen in client work across Europe, in China, and in the rest of the world.

Masters course at Sciences Po
In association with TWBA, Royalties created and continues to manage the Master's degree course in branding at the School of Communication at l’Institut d’études politiques de Paris, the sister university of the London School of Economics.

title: Julian Chela-Flores

text:
Julian Chela-Flores (born 13 June 1942) is a Venezuelan astrobiologist and physicist. He is known for his contributions to the field of planetary habitability.

Biography
His father, Raimundo Chela a mathematician of Lebanese family, encouraged his studies in science, while his mother raised his interest in the humanities. He lived in England where he studied in the University of London, obtaining a PhD in Quantum Mechanics in 1969. His field of research is astrobiology, in other words the science of the origin, evolution, distribution and destiny of life in the universe, especially life on Europa, the Jovian satellite.

From 1971 till 1990 he worked in academic matters continually, especially in research at the Centre of Physics, the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (Full Researcher 1978) and at the Physics Department, Simon Bolivar University (Full Professor 1980), both in Caracas. He is Full Professor ad honorem at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IDEA, Caracas) having been a co-founder of IDEA in 1980. Since 1994 he is an Associate Member of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

His first contact with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (ICTP, now bearing the name of its Founding Director the Nobel Laureate, Abdus Salam) took place during the inauguration of its Miramare Campus and at the Contemporary Physics Trieste Symposium (June, 1968).

These two events were stepping stones for perennial collaboration with the progress of research and development, especially in the emerging nations: IAEA Fellow 1971, and on several occasions Associate Member (1972-1981) and Visiting Scientist (1982-1990). From 1990 to 2014 he was scientist in residence at the ICTP: Scientific Consultant (1990-1996) and Staff Associate (1996-2014). He now continues his research as visiting scientist at the ICTP.

The band consisted of Gary 'The Panther' Moore on vocals, Michael 'John' McFarlane and Paul Markie on guitars, Paul 'Drums' Reilly on drums and Ben Doherty on bass. They were sometimes joined by Scott Duffy on additional percussion and vocals.

The band's releases include 2014's Stay Young and 2016's Simulations. They supported fellow Dundee band The View and toured Russia with Placebo in the summer of 2014 and spring 2015. They supported Placebo during some of the concerts on their 20 years of Placebo tour.

In 2018 The Mirror Trap disbanded with some members going on to form Echo Machine.

History

The band formed while studying music at Dundee College in 2009 and quickly made a name for themselves in support slots with The View. They recorded their first album The Last Great Melodrama in 2011 and the EP The Visible Hand followed in 2012. During this period they recorded a live session for the BBC with Vic Galloway. They also played the T Break Stage at T in the Park 2012.
Former Dundee FC footballer and promoter Lee Wilkie spotted the band's talent and introduced them to Dave McLean of Riverman Management. The two began to co-manage the band through Riverman Management who also represent Placebo. Wilkie and Mclean brought the Mirror Trap to the attention of Placebo and the band supported them at the HMV Picture House, Edinburgh on 25 April 2012. In 2013 Brian Molko attended one of their small gigs at Non-Zero's on Dundee's Castle Street.
Placebo were impressed with the band's performance and invited them to join them as support at a charity performance in Leeds on 8 November 2013. By the time the band recorded and released their second album, Stay Young they were offered the chance to support Placebo on a tour of Russia in the summer of 2014. The tour covered 8 venues in 13 days and the band invited Scott Duffy to join them, providing additional percussion and vocals. The tour included a performance for 3000 fans at Krasnodar's Ice Palace. The band became an overnight success in Russia, provoking an outpouring of excitement and fan art on social media. In September 2014 Placebo announced that The Mirror Trap would be joining them at the 2014 iTunes Festival, performing at London's Roundhouse in Camden Town. The release of their 2016 album Simulations saw the band take up slots at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan and the Y Not Festival in England.

The Last Great Melodrama (2011)

The Last Great Melodrama was released on 21 November 2011. Singles taken from the 11-track album included 'My Alabama' for which the band released an accompanying video on 14 October 2011.

The Visible Hand (2012)

The Visible Hand was launched at the Doghouse, Dundee on 9 November 2012. To launch the record The Mirror Trap made plaster casts of hands with the index fingers painted black and distributed them around Dundee. The four-track EP was recorded at Gardyne Studios, Dundee and included 'Future Lionheart' which would also appear on Stay Young.

Stay Young (2014)

Stay Young was released on 24 February 2014. The album was received warmly with reviewers noting the band's passion, charm and resistance to the status quo. Artwork for the album was designed by Max Gabbot and Charlie Parsons, graduates of Dundee's Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. The band made videos for several of the singles from the album including 'Killing Time', 'Westminster Ghost Story' and 'Bell Street'.

Silent Men (2015)

Silent Men is an EP released on 16 February 2015 featuring artwork from Dundee artist and Michael McFarlane's sister, Louise McFarlane, also known as 'louloureeed'. The band made a video for its title track, 'Silent Men'.

Simulations (2016)

Simulations was recorded at Thailand's Karma Sound Studios, which saw the band follow in the footsteps of Enter Shikari, Bullet For My Valentine, The Libertines, and Placebo. Videos made for songs featured on Simulations included 'New Trance' which featured scenes from the band's hometown of Dundee and 'Pirhanas', which was directed by Stuart Breadner and noted upon release for its violent imagery. The record was released in May 2016 on Vinyl Junkie Recordings in Japan and Warner Music Group in Russia. Its release date in the UK is 8 July 2016.

title: Rajpipla State

text:
The Kingdom of Rajpipla or Rajpipla State was a princely state, with full internal jurisdiction, in India ruled by the Gohil Rajput dynasty for over 600 years from around 1340 until 1948. It was the largest State, and the only first-class State, of the Rewa Kantha Agency.. Among Gujarat States (as distinct from Kathiawar or Saurashtra States), Rajpipla State was the second-largest after Baroda (Vadodara) in terms of size and importance. The Gohil Rajput dynasty of Rajpipla survived the onslaught of the Sultans of Ahmedabad and the Mughals during the mediaeval period, and the Gaekwars of Baroda and the British in the modern period, to emerge as a well-administered State with contemporary infrastructure, policies and practices by the time it was merged with the Union of India on 10 June 1948.

History
Maharaja Vijaysinhji built an aerodrome in Rajpipla on a 125-acre site on the banks of the River Karjan in the late 1920s. This became defunct since merger of Rajpipla State with the Union of India in 1948. But after the building of the Statue of Unity in close proximity to Rajpipla, Government of Gujarat decided to revive this in 2018, and build a new Rajpipla airport there.

title: Charles-Louis Corbet

text:
Charles-Louis Corbet (January 1758 – 10 December 1808) was a French sculptor. He is known for a bust that he made of Napoleon and a statue of a French Dragoon on the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.

Early years

Charles Louis Corbet was born in 1758 in Douai, and baptized in the parish of Saint-Pierre on 27 January 1758.
His mother was not married.
He studied in Douai, than in Paris in the studio of the sculptor Pierre-François Berruer.
He won a medal from the Académie Royal. In 1780, when he was twenty-two, he had moved to Lille, where he was accepted by the Academy on the presentation of one of his modeled works. He was definitely named an Academician after he completed the Mort de Méléagre.
Between 1782 and 1790 he made many bas-relief portraits and busts, often in terracotta.
In 1790 he made a terracotta bust of Louis XVI.

French Revolution

Corbet was an enthusiastic supporter of the French Revolution, which began in 1789.
Corbet was made librarian of the École Centrale in October 1793, and held this position for at least five years.
He was commissioned to create a statue representing Liberty, and completed a plaster model in September 1794.
He asked for three years to complete a marble statue. This work was never started.
In the year IV he was sent on a mission to Belgium by the representative Briet, for a purpose that is not known.
There are few records of works of art created by Corbet in the period from 1793 to 1799.

Later years

Corbet was given a commission by the government to execute a bust of the young general Bonaparte.
The first plaster model,  high, was exhibited in the Salon of July 1798, with the inscription "... fait d'après nature".
The sittings must have taken place between 5 December 1797, when Bonaparte returned from Italy, and 4 May 1798 when he left for Egypt.
The bust portrays Napoleon as a handsome and heroic figure.
At the Salon of 1800 Corbet presented a marble version of the bust of General Bonaparte, executed on the orders of the Directory during the Egyptian campaign.
Signed plaster copies with dates from Year VI (1797) to Year VIII (1800) are held in the Château de Malmaison, Palace of Versailles, Carnavalet Museum, Musée de l'Armée,  Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, and Musée Masséna in Nice. Bronze casts were made, and marble copies were created in the Second French Empire.

Having moved permanently to Paris, in 1801 Corbet exhibited a huge bust of the French Republic, which earned him an honorable mention. Two years later he completed a marble copy of the bust of Napoleon, now the First Consul, which earned much acclaim.
This version of the bust was more polished but had less life than the original.
He was charged with creating the statue of a French dragoon for the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, and a statue of general Caffarelli for the Senate stairway, which was exhibited in the Salon of 1806 along with a bust of General Béraud, also commissioned by the government.
Corbet died in 1808. He was unmarried, and left no children.

title: Joan Calabrese

text:
Joan Frances Calabrese (October 29, 1939 – July 16, 2017) was an American fashion designer specialising in children's high end clothing.

Early life
Joan Calabrese, born on October 29, 1939, was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Joan displayed a love for fashion from a very early age when she began designing and sewing clothes for her dolls. Calabrese once noted, "my mother said as soon as I could hold a pencil I was drawing costumes and people." She studied fashion illustration at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and was offered a full scholarship which she declined in order to work with family. She began styling children's clothing when she first made dresses for her two daughters, Marisa Moore and Elena Calabrese. As she made these dresses, her cousin, Tom Marotta, who was at that time Vice President of Saks Fifth Avenue's couture department, was intrigued by her designs and had Joan introduce her dresses to the store. This Children's Boutique owned by Linda Berman started to buy her self-sewn dresses, which started off her career. For the first couple of years of sewing dresses, she only worked on them herself, but as her children's dresses got introduced into her boutiques she began to hire seamstress. As she began to become more known, her dresses were now in Cerutti's on Madison Avenue, New York. After this well-known store bought her clothing, more and more companies wanted her dresses, which led to her name getting out there. She was one of the few stylist for high style clothing for children. Calabrese also made women's handbags, but was more inspired to do children's clothing and continued on with couture for kids.

Work
For many years she worked under her own label, Joan Calabrese INC. She bought her own fabrics from Paris, Europe, where she traveled twice a year. Her office was primarily in the basement of her house in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Many people in the high end world scheduled to meet with her in order to get specialized dresses for their children. When she first started creating these unique dresses she made about 2500 dresses a year by herself.

Career
Her early designs were very expensive, costing up to $400 in 1982, mainly due to her focus on the best fabrics from Europe. She described how she tried to individualize her materials and make her pieces unique and special. In an interview with Drexel University, Joan said many of her customers considered the gowns a family heirloom to be passed from generation to generation.

Pieces of Calabrese's clothing are held in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, who accepted two of Joan's dresses for the Permanent Collection of their Costume Institute,[6] and she is also featured in the Costume Collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.[7] In order to be a part of these museums, an artists' work was judged and then approved. Joan Calabrese being the designer, marketer and sales-person of her clothing, introduced her own work to the museum by calling and setting up a date to observe her work in order to consider it for these museums.

Calabrese clients included Natalie Wood, members of the Kennedy family, Nancy Sinatra and Betsy Bloomingdale. Willow Smith wore her dress in the Fashion Catwalk at The Dubai Mall. When Dakota Fanning attended the 2003 Emmys, aged 9, she wore a Calabrese design on the red carpet. When Dakota Fanning wore her dress, Joan Rivers was the host and asked her who she was wearing and Dakota answered Joan Calabrese. This also got Joan more known in the fashion industry and kicked off her career even more.

She also won the DEBI award every year and still continues to win the award even after her death due to the release of many designs by companies.

Mon Cheri
As Joan Calabrese got older, she licensed with Mon Cheri for about 10 years. Here she illustrated affordable range of flower girl and First Communion dresses. and focused mainly on flower girl wear. When she got to Mon Cheri, she did not hand sew her dresses anymore and instead they were done in the factory.

Death
Calabrese died of uterine cancer on July 16, 2017 in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, aged 77.

title: Post-Internet

text:
Post-Internet is a 21st-century art movement involving works that are derived from the Internet or its effects on aesthetics, culture and society.

Definition
Post-Internet is a loosely-defined term that was coined by artist/curator Marisa Olson in an attempt to describe her practice. It emerged from mid-2000s discussions about Internet art by Gene McHugh (author of a blog titled "Post-Internet"), and Artie Vierkant (artist, and creator of Image Object sculpture series). The movement itself grew out of Internet Art (or Net Art). According to the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, rather than referring "to a time “after” the internet", the term refers to "an internet state of mind". Eva Folks of AQNB wrote that it "references one so deeply embedded in and propelled by the internet that the notion of a world or culture without or outside it becomes increasingly unimaginable, impossible."

The term is controversial and the subject of much criticism in the art community. Art in Americas Brian Droitcour in 2014 opined that the term fails to describe the form of the works, instead "alluding only to a hazy contemporary condition and the idea of art being made in the context of digital technology." According to a 2015 article in The New Yorker, the term describes "the practices of artists [whose] artworks move fluidly between spaces, appearing sometimes on a screen, other times in a gallery." Fast Companys Carey Dunne summarizes they are "artists who are inspired by the visual cacophony of the web" and notes that "mediums from Second Life portraits to digital paintings on silk to 3-D-printed sculpture" are used.

There is theoretical overlap with writer and artist James Bridle's term New Aesthetic. Ian Wallace of Artspace writes that "the influential blog The New Aesthetic, run since May 2011 by Bridle, is a pioneering institution in the post-Internet movement" and concludes that "much of the energy around the New Aesthetic seems, now, to have filtered over into the "post-Internet" conversation." Post-Internet art is also discussed by Katja Novitskova as being a part of 'New Materialism'.

Wallace considers the Post-Internet term to stand for "a new aesthetic era," moving "beyond making work dependent on the novelty of the Web to using its tools to tackle other subjects". He notes that the post-Internet generation "frequently uses digital strategies to create objects that exist in the real world." Or as Louis Doulas writes in Within Post-Internet, Part One (2011): "There is a difference then, in an art that chooses to exist outside of a browser window and an art that chooses to stay within it."

Influence

The movement spearheaded microgenres and subcultures such as seapunk and vaporwave. In the early 2010s, "post-Internet" was popularly associated with the musician Grimes. Grimes used the term to describe her work at a time when post-Internet concepts were not typically discussed in mainstream music arenas. Amarco referred to Yung Lean as "by and large a product of the internet and a leading example of a generation of youths who garner fame through social media."

Exhibitions

There have been a number of significant group art shows explicitly exploring Post-Internet themes. There was a 2014 exhibition called Art Post-Internet at Beijing's Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, which ARTnews named one of the "most art exhibitions of the 2010s" which "set out to encapsulate the budding movement." MoMA curated Ocean of Images in 2015, a show "probing the effects of an image-based post-Internet reality." The 2016 9th Berlin Biennale, titled The Present in Drag, curated by the art collective DIS, is described as a Post-Internet exhibition. Other examples include:
