title: W. Braxton Sinclair

text:
Captain William Charles Braxton Sinclair FRIBA (1883 – 29 November 1962) was a British architect who worked in the United Kingdom and in Burma, where he was a captain in the Royal Engineers. He was also a local historian.

Army service
Sinclair was born in Highbury, Middlesex, England, to Charles John Sinclair, an accountant. He joined The Essex Regiment and was promoted to second lieutenant in 1907 in the 3rd Battalion and lieutenant in the 6th Battalion in 1910.  As lieutenant, he served with the regiment in the First World War. In the Second World War  he served with the Royal Engineers, initially as a lieutenant and later as a captain. Three photographs associated with his war service are held at the National Army Museum.

Works

His works include:
Silver Birches, a country house in Purley, Surrey (1920s)
 8 Turner Close, Hampstead Garden Suburb (1920–1923), which was listed Grade II in 1970. Its specification and plans are held at the London Metropolitan Archives.
 First Church of Christ, Scientist, Southport, Lancashire, 1924–1933, now demolished
 First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bromley (1928–1933) at 54B Widmore Road, Bromley, London, which is Grade II listed. The Bromley Civic Society describes it as "an amazing fusion of classicism and Art Deco based on the design of a Roman tomb which accounts for the addition of a Mediterranean cypress tree as part of the integral landscaping. Special features are the classical pilasters in varying thicknesses of brick, repeated in the window tracery and the design of the carved wooden doors. Small hand-made bricks are used throughout." Historic England describes it as being "in an inventive Neo-Classical style with brickwork and doors reminiscent of Art-Deco cinemas".
Kay & Co's Georgian-style offices (1938) in The Tything, Worcester
 The Tudor-style gatehouse (1939) at the entrance to Dunsborough Park in Ripley, Surrey, commissioned by Sir Oliver Simmonds MP
 First Church of Christ, Scientist, Richmond (1939–1953) at Sheen Road, Richmond, London
 Huddersfield House (1958–59) at 200 Strand, London WC2, the London offices of the then Huddersfield Building Society; the society later merged with other building societies to become the Yorkshire Building Society and the building is now known as Yorkshire House.

In 1913, Sinclair restored the tower at Holy Cross Church in Greenford, north-west London.

In 1950, he extended the neo-Georgian flats that had been built in 1937 in Chesterfield Gardens in Greenwich.

His design of a sophisticated air raid shelter for flats at Queen's Gate, in South Kensington, London,  was published in The Builder in October 1938.

While briefly stationed in York during the Second World War, Sinclair, who was a Georgian Group member, wrote notes which, revised by the Society's architects, became the first publication of the York Georgian Society, Some Hints on the Maintenance and Repair of 17th and 18th Century Premises (1945).

Legacy
Sinclair bequeathed, to the Victoria and Albert Museum, four Burmese pictorial textile hangings known as kalagas. The museum also holds three watercolours by Sinclair, two showing Burmese landscapes and one of a Burmese pagoda. After his death Mrs Mary Simpson donated on his behalf, to the Victoria and Albert Museum, an 18th- or 19th-century wooden and lacquered sculpted figure of the Buddha Shakyamuni.

title: Chinatown, Lae

text:
Chinatown is a suburb of Lae in the Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.

History

The Chinese people of the Territory came originally from the Kwantang Province of South-east China. They came as worker immigrants in the German regime before 1914. After 1930, trade stores were established mostly by the Chinese, that catered for New Guinean needs rather than those of the Europeans. The Chinese presence created a buffer zone between the Europeans and New Guineans and furthermore established Chinatown settlements.

World War II

In October, Captain N. E. Brand of the 10th Field Ambulance and ten ORs ran an evacuation post in Chinatown Lae and on 8 September 1943, six 65th BS B-17s bombed Chinatown, a concentration of buildings and supplies at Lae. Encountering no anti-aircraft fire or enemy fighter opposition, the 65th BS historian wrote:

"Bombing was excellent. The mission was uneventful."

Lyndon B. Johnson was appointed Lieutenant Commander in the United States Naval Reserve on 21 June 1940. Eleven B-26 Marauders of the 22nd Bomb Group departed Townsville on 8 June 1942, arrived in Port Moresby and raided Lae on 9 June 1942. The mission was called "TOW 9" and Lieutenant Commander Johnson, the future 36th President of the United States, went on this raid as an observer on the aircraft, the Heckling Hare.  Nine days after the raid, Lyndon Johnson was awarded a Silver Star medal for his participation in the above bombing raid.

Post-World War II

After the war the Chinese were settled on leased land in Chinatown but in the latter years some have moved out and built modern premises in the lower terrace, in the main commercial area and on the edge of the upper terrace facing the Lae Airfield. In 1963, the Chinatown residential area was scheduled for replacement. According to the Canberra Times:

Chinatown residential area will be replaced, the Morobe District Commissioner, Mr H. Niall, announced. About 600 people live in the area in old shacks and wooden sheds.

By the early 1970s the Chinese took advantage of their elevated status as "white" Australians by engaging in larger-scale commercial businesses. They opened supermarkets and large general stores that catered to local consumers of European descent and Australian tourists. Many also purchased land and operated plantations of coffee, coconut and tea. One successful Chinese merchant in Lae even started a chartered airlines company.

Long time businessman and Papua New Guinea citizen, Sir Ling James Seeto claims that the Chinese were first recruited into the country by the Germans to do carpentry work, build boats, plumbing and other menial work. In the 1970s China town was well and truly established and trade stores were everywhere with many Chinese restaurants.

Mount Lunaman

At the base of Mount Lunaman at the southern and south-eastern face are the suburbs of Voco Point and Chinatown. The terraces are located to the West of Mount Lunaman.

Mount Lunaman is 96 meters high and has a radio tower at the highest point marked by red fixed obstruction lights to assist navigation. At the base of Mount Lunaman at the southern and south-eastern face are the suburbs of Voco Point and Chinatown. The terraces are located to the West of Mount Lunaman.

Mount Lunaman is known to the locals as Lo' Wamung, which means "first hill", Hospital Hill and Fortress Hill by the German settlers.

Mount Lunaman and the Lae urban area have been the subject of several tectonic studies relating to plate shift.

Mount Lunaman during World War II

Mount Lunaman was an important landmark for both Japanese and the Allies:
"The men of the South Australian battalion hammered and sawed vigorously at the top of the terrace. They were reconstructing, with captured Japanese tools, the skeleton of the cottage formerly used as the Japanese commander's sanctum. A hole beneath the door led by a tunnel to a labyrinth of passages and apertures which honeycombed Mount Lunaman".

After the war it was believed that Mount Lunaman contained the remains of many Japanese soldiers who defended Lae using tunnels:

A Japanese tomb believed to contain bodies of hundreds of Lae defenders was bought by two South Australian men for 1 pound. The tomb lies under Mount Lunaman which is said to house a hospital and when the Japanese in tunnels refused to surrender to the Australian 7th Division and 9th Division troops in 1943 all entrances were sealed.

Mount Lunaman and the Lae urban area has been the subject of several tectonic studies relating to plate shift.

Facilities

The Lae Chinese Club is located in Chinatown. The Lae Squash Racquet Association was established 1967 at the Chinese Club and has 2 glass courts and 4 squash courts and 2 tennis and 2 netball courts. The Lae (Lahi) Netball Association is also located at the Chinese Club and at one stage was the second largest competition in Papua New Guinea.

In 1962, Mrs. Flora Shaw Stewart (1886–1979) established Morobe Theatres Ltd and constructed a modern picture theatre, which opened in 1963.

Riots

On 12 May 2009, Port Moresby experienced an anti-Asian demonstration following similar demonstrations in the Solomon Islands. The riots spread to Lae, Madang, Goroka, Kainantu and Mount Hagen targeting trade stores and kai (food) bars. Four Papua New Guinean nationals and three ethnic Chinese died during the riots, which were particularly violent in Lae and Mt Hagen. Before 10am, all shops, Chinese and local, all over the city were forced to close in fear of being looted.

Schools
The Huonville International Primary School is located in Chinatown.

title: Evans Bell

text:
Thomas Evans Bell (11 November 1825 – 12 September 1887) was an English Indian army officer and writer. He used the pseudonyms Undecimus (in The Reasoner) and Indicus (1865).

Life
The son of William Bell, he was educated in Wandsworth, London. In 1841 he went to Madras in the East India Company's service. He was a secularist and supporter of George Jacob Holyoake, who gave Bell's name in 1856 on a short list of those who had done most for the free-thought movement, and he had a share in Holyoake's "British Secular Institute of Secularism and Propagandism". In 1851 he spoke at the first Free Discussion Festival, at the City Road Hall of Science. He was also one of John Chapman's authors. Bell was strongly critical of the East India Company, and its impact on peasant proprietorship in India.

After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Bell lost his position in Nagpur, for complaining over the head of his immediate superior about the treatment of the Ranis of the Nagpur kingdom. In Madras in the early 1860s, he was secretary of the Madras Literary Society, and edited its Madras Journal in 1861. When Whitley Stokes moved to India, he successfully identified an anonymous translator of Omar Khayyám as Edward FitzGerald, much before this fact was generally known, and named him in the Journal. In 1864 Stokes attributed the Madras (pirate) edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam to Bell.

Bell retired on half pay in 1866.<ref name="Pank">[http://sylviapankhurst.gn.apc.org/SPML%202010%20v3.pdf 2010 Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Lecture, V. Irene Cockroft]</ref> He was a member of the London National Society for Women's Suffrage in 1866. In 1871 and 1875 he was on the council of the East India Association, where he supported trust as a principle of imperial policy. He was on the Greek Committee of 1879.

Family
Bell married Emily Magnus (c. 1839–1893), another freethinker who was an actor and classical musician. They had a daughter Ernestine (1871–1959); an older daughter had died in an outbreak of typhoid at Barnes, London, where they had moved to be close to Henry Davis Pochin and his wife Agnes. Ernestine was cared for by guardians William and Hertha Ayrton after her parents deaths and grew up to be an artist, writer and suffragette. She married the doctor Herbert Mills (1868–1947) who shared her Fabian views.

title: Twisted (musical)

text:
Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier is a musical with music by A. J. Holmes, lyrics by Kaley McMahon, and a book by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Eric Kahn Gale. It was produced by StarKid Productions.

A parody of the 1992 film Aladdin, the musical tells the film's story from the point of view of the film's villain, Jafar (spelled "Ja'far" in all official materials), in a nod to the musical Wicked, which told the familiar story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from the point of view of The Wicked Witch of the West. In addition to Aladdin and Wicked, the musical also parodies several other Disney films and stage musicals, as well as the history of The Walt Disney Company.

Twisted opened in Chicago's Greenhouse Theatre on July 4, 2013, and closed on July 28, 2013, as part of a limited run. The original production was directed by Brian Holden. The group put the entire musical up on YouTube on November 27, 2013. The musical's cast recording debuted at No. 63 on the American iTunes Top 100 albums chart.

Plot

Act I
Sherrezade introduces the audience to a Magic Kingdom (an analogue of The Walt Disney Company) that prospered for many years thanks to its commitment to "the two Ds: duty and devotion". Following a period of prosperity, the Kingdom fell into the hands of a corrupt sultan and entered a dark age. The only man who can rescue the Kingdom is the misunderstood royal vizier Ja'far. Ja'far walks the streets of the Kingdom while the citizens jeer him. While Ja'far tries his best to be a sensible and scientific planner, the citizens prefer to wish for their unrealistic dreams to come true and blame Ja'far for all their problems ("Dream a Little Harder").

Aladdin, a selfish, shiftless, and callous thief, causes several injuries and deaths while being chased before explaining his philosophy that everything in the world is his to steal ("I Steal Everything"). Ja'far returns to the palace but is greeted by Prince Achmed, angered by the Princess setting her pet tiger upon his underwear. Insulted, Prince Achmed declares war on the Magic Kingdom. Ja'far berates the Princess for her carelessness while she naïvely longs for a life of freedom ("Everything and More").

Distraught to learn of his 2Ds department's sacking, Ja'far wrecks his room. He finds a scarab necklace that reminds him of the past when he was beloved by the citizens ("Sands of Time"). In an extended flashback, Ja'far teaches them about "The Golden Rule" of always treating others the way one wishes to be treated ("The Golden Rule"). On arriving at the vizier's palace for his first day as an assistant, Ja'far discovers that the vizier and his court are corrupt and only care about money ("The Golden Rule (Evil Reprise)"). Ja'far wonders if he will ever effect real change without the Sultan's audience. His mood is lifted when he meets the palace storyteller Sherrezade, who tells him stories including the Tiger Head Cave, which among other riches contains an oil lamp housing a wish-granting Djinn. Despite his skepticism of the stories, they fall in love and marry ("A Thousand and One Nights"). Months pass, and the Sultan finally gives Ja'far an audience; Sherrezade accompanies him. The Sultan, a babbling fool who tells the court he inverted his penis, is immediately taken with Sherrezade and claims her as his concubine. Sherrezade gives Ja'far the scarab necklace and vows that they will be reunited one day. In the present, Ja'far sadly notes that she died in childbirth before they could reunite. Though not fully convinced of the power of magic, Ja'far decides to seek out the Tiger Head Cave and the wish-granting Djinn ("If I Believed").

Meanwhile, the Princess meets Aladdin and is entranced by his free lifestyle and lack of respect for royalty, oblivious to his sexual advances. Aladdin explains how he never had a chance to become a valuable member of society since he was "Orphaned At Thirty-Three". Before they can kiss, they are caught by the royal guards, who throw Aladdin in prison and take the Princess home. Ja'far releases Aladdin on the condition he retrieves the Djinn's lamp from the Tiger Head Cave, claiming it to be an ordinary lamp. He also promises that Aladdin can keep all the other treasures he finds. The Princess, Aladdin, and Ja'far reflect on what they want most ("Happy Ending") before Aladdin exits the Tiger Head Cave and flees with the lamp, having discovered the Djinn, while Ja'far watches.

Act II
Prince Achmed returns to the kingdom of Pik-Zahr and despairs that he will only be remembered as a throwaway joke. Believing that destroying the Princess' kingdom will win her affection, he and his soldiers march to war ("No One Remembers Achmed").

Ja'far has a heart-to-heart with the Princess about her future as a leader. Ja'far tries to warn her about Aladdin's true intentions but is called away when The Captain tells them that an unknown wealthy prince is leading a parade through the market, causing untold mayhem and injury. The prince visits the Princess, who immediately recognizes him as Aladdin. He nevertheless manages to convince her that the prince is his true persona. He takes the Princess on a magic carpet ride and unsuccessfully tries to convince her to have sex in reference to claimed Disney innuendos ("Take Off Your Clothes"). The Princess realizes that Aladdin's claimed great armies could help against Achmed's invasion. She proposes marriage, which Aladdin lustfully accepts.

The Sultan introduces his future son-in-law, Aladdin, to Ja'far, who impatiently explains that Aladdin is not an actual prince. Aladdin manages to convince the Sultan that Ja'far is a sorcerer who is using hypnosis, prompting the Sultan to sentence Ja'far to death. Ja'far grabs the lamp and escapes. Alone with the lamp, Ja'far is visited by various Disney villains from Sherrezade's tales. They claim they are not evil and that their stories have become "twisted" throughout the years. Ja'far accepts that he has to take the "twisted" path himself, or his sacrifices will have been for nothing, and uses the lamp ("Twisted").

Prince Achmed invades, and Aladdin and his army are nowhere to be found. Achmed calls for the head of the Sultan, and Ja'far, having used his first wish to become the Sultan, enters. He releases the Djinn, who speaks entirely in movie quotes, incomprehensible to Ja'far, and uses his second wish to make himself a powerful sorcerer. The Princess finally realizes that Aladdin is a fraud. Aladdin takes the Princess hostage, and as Ja'far pleads with him to release her, he realizes that the Princess is his own daughter. Aladdin reveals a darker, more sinister split-personality who murdered his parents when they attempted to force him out of their house to find a job. Aladdin agrees to hand over the lamp in exchange for the Princess, but before Ja'far hands it over, he uses his final wish to free the Djinn and take its place in the lamp.

Now a Djinn himself, Ja'far gives the lamp to the Princess, believing her youth and passion make her the only one who can use the lamp's power to its fullest potential. The Princess wishes to bring a peaceful end to the war with Pik-Zahr, and for the Kingdom to have a Sultan that will make it prosper again. Finally, she wishes Ja'far happiness, and they part ways ("The Power In Me"). News arrives that the Sultan has died, naming the Princess the majority stockholder and sole ruler of the Kingdom. Achmed's troops arrive in the throne room, and the Princess buys the entirety of Pik-Zahr with Ali Baba's treasure, discovered during the battle.

In the lamp, Ja'far resigns himself to his fate when he is greeted by Sherrezade, brought back to life by the Princess's last wish. She explains that the lamp exists outside of time and space, which is how the Djinn had knowledge of movies from the future. Ja'far sees that Aladdin will become a Peddler who spends his days telling a warped version of the story. The couple then live happily ever after ("Finale / A Thousand And One Nights Reprise").

title: Maléfique

text:
Maléfique is a 2002 French horror film directed by Éric Valette.

Plot
Carrere, a middle-class family man convicted of financial fraud, arrives in prison where he finds himself sharing a cell with three others- Lassalle, an old librarian who murdered his wife; Paquerette, a childlike lunatic who ate his infant sister and Marcus, a muscular young transgender woman (whose crime is not mentioned) who yearns for a sex-change.

The cellmates discover, hidden behind a loose brick of the cell-wall, an old hand-written journal which belonged to a prisoner named Danvers in the 1920s who mysteriously disappeared from his cell. The book is filled with incantations and symbols of black magic. Although sceptical, Carrere reads aloud one of the incantations and the prisoners are shocked when a bright, burning symbol briefly materialises on the floor. Carrere, and then Lassalle both study the book and they begin to have disturbing visions. Paquerette wakes up one morning to find that during the night, his fingers have vanished.

The cellmates argue over what to do with the book. Paquerette grabs the book and starts to eat its pages only to be over-powered by an unseen force which twists his entire body until his spine and neck snap. The other three prisoners are blamed by the guards for Paquerette's death, condemning them to stay in prison for life. Lasselle believes that the book was defending itself. A new prisoner named Picus arrives, a friendly, eccentric man who always carries a video camera. Later, the others wake up one morning to find that Picus has disappeared, leaving his camera and the journal on the floor. They watch the last piece of footage on the camera in which Picus reads an incantation from the book whereupon a brightly lit doorway appears on the wall through which he walks. They ask the guards about Picus but the latter reply that they do not know who the cellmates are talking about, revealing that Picus was a hallucination concocted by the book, designed to reveal the book's true powers.

Carrere has been abandoned by his wife and he will never see his beloved son again, the only relic of whom he possesses is an action-figure doll that belonged to his son. Carrere now sees the book as his only chance to escape. The three prisoners read aloud the same incantation that Picus read and the brightly illuminated door-way again appears in the cell wall, through which they walk. They find themselves in a dirty, much older prison cell and the book does not offer a means of escape. They realise that they have entered Danvers’ cell as it was in the 1920s. Carrere and Marcus become angry but Lassalle remains calm and without warning kills Marcus with a sharpened rock. Carrere is furious but Lassalle explains that he finally understands the nature of the book's powers- it was not intended to let them physically escape but to enable them all to realise their deepest desires albeit at a terrible price. A flashback sequence reveals the true fate of the cell's original inhabitant Danvers. Obsessed with youth, Danvers uttered his final spell and the book transformed him into a young man but the reverse ageing did not stop until he was reduced to an unborn infant, dissolving into nothingness. Lassalle says that Marcus' desire to become a woman was not strong enough and she could only be set free through death. Lassalle, who has always been obsessed with, and terrified of, the powers of the written word, grips the book and merges with it, its powers crushing the life out of him. Now the only survivor, Carrere states aloud his dearest wish- to see his son again- and his mouth opens in a silent scream as his eyes vanish.

The final scenes occur outside the cell. Carrere's estranged wife and son arrive to collect his belongings, a prison official explaining that Carrere and his cellmates have mysteriously vanished. As they drive home, Carrere's young son plays with the action figure that his father had kept in his cell. The doll's head is seen in close-up and is revealed to have Carrere's living eyes, now able to see his son.

title: Srinda

text:

She is best known for her roles in Malayalam movies 22 Female Kottayam (2012), Annayum Rasoolum (2013), 1983 (2014), Freedom Fight (2022), Kuruthi (2021), Bheeshma Parvam (2022)  and Aadu (2017).

She then briefly worked as a television anchor but felt her "heart wasn't in it. I felt like something was missing, which I found in films". Before appearing in a documentary, she modelled for products such as hair oils and jewellery brands. This eventually led her to feature films, where she was noticed by director Dileesh Nair, who introduced her to Aashiq Abu.

Even though her debut film was Four Friends (2010), Aashiq Abu's 22 Female Kottayam (2012) is considered her cinematic debut. She played the lead character's friend.[1] Srinda stated that the film "shaped her as an actor". In the following months, she played supporting roles in several films, such as Thattathin Marayathu (2012), 101 Weddings (2012), North 24 Kaatham (2013), Artist (2013), and Annayum Rasoolum (2013). In 2014, Srinda played a notable lead role in the sports film 1983 (2014). Later that year, she portrayed a police officer in the political satire Masala Republic (2014), and starred in two films that were released on the same day, Tamaar Padaar (2014) and Homely Meals (2014).

title: Adolf Bierbrauer

text:
Adolf Bierbrauer (26 July 1915 – 2 September 2012) was a German conceptual artist, painter and sculptor. He is known for his "hypnosis paintings" and "somnambulistic paintings" as well as for his sculptures.

Life

Adolf Bierbrauer grew up with two sisters, Marianne and Gisela, on Glücksburger street in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel. His father was the manager of the ironworks Association in Düsseldorf.

During his high school years Bierbrauer studied piano and performed in public as a piano soloist. His piano teacher recommended the philosophical work of Rudolf Steiner to him. In 1930 Bierbrauer produced his first still life and within a year began his first figurative drawings. He created portraits of people in his neighborhood. In 1934 he traveled to the Goetheanum in Dornach (Switzerland) to study the works of Rudolf Steiner. In 1935, he began his study of medicine at the University of Marburg. He continued his study of medicine at Freiburg, Jena and at the Medical Academy in Düsseldorf. From 1940 to 1942 he served in the military service in France.

In 1942 Bierbrauer was called back to Düsseldorf due to the lack of military available in Düsseldorf during World War II. He received his doctorate there in 1943 and in January 1945 he sent to the Eastern Front as a military doctor. He was captured in Wroclaw and transported to Transcaucasia (Mingitschaur) to work as a roadbuilder and concrete worker as a Russian prisoner of war.

During his imprisonment, on behalf of the prisoner-of-war camp management Bierbrauer painted documentary images of the geological investigations of the terminal moraines. The prisoners also worked on archaeological excavations of medean graves. He was forbidden from painting and was ordered to create portraits of the guards.

In 1949, he returned to Düsseldorf where he became a volunteer physician at the University Hospital in Hamburg. From 1951 to 1953 he worked as psychotherapist at the 2nd Medical Academy in Düsseldorf, specializing in hypnosis treatments. At this time he began the creation of his first hypnosis paintings. His public opposition against electroshock therapy and insulin shock treatments lead to his release from hospital in 1953/1954.

During the summer semester, he attended a class called on monumental painting and wall painting under the direction of  at the Kölner Werkschulen. He applied to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf but was rejected.

In 1954 he received the circular medical certificate to establish himself as a general medical practitioner. Bierbrauer now specialized on nervous disorders and psychosomatic disorders. He focused on therapies that utilized hypnosis.

After 1960, he began making somnambulistic paintings. A heart attack in 1965 forced Bierbrauer to end working as a doctor. In 1973, he declared himself to be a freelance artist and started teaching painting lessons to children at his home. These lessons later became the first Waldorf kindergarten in Düsseldorf. Bierbrauer also worked as a pianist in Waldorf schools. In 1974 he applied again to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and was accepted. He spent two years there. At the same time he attended lectures of philosophy at Heinz Rudolf at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.

Starting in 1990, Bierbrauer created art which he described as Müllkunst (trash art). 1998 Bierbrauer moved to the anthroposophically oriented Heinrich-Zschokke Senior house in Düsseldorf-Gerresheim, that he also initiated. In 2000, his works were presented to the general public during the presentation of his monography at the NRW Forum for the first time. Bazon Brock and Gabriele Lohberg, Director of the Europäische Kunstakademie Trier (European Academy of Fine Arts Trier) held the introduction speeches.(1)

Life in Anthroposophic Senior home became intolerable to him. Some of his art works were destroyed due to unannounced renovations at his senior home.(2) At age 91 he moved to a new senior him in the Kasierwerther Diakonie, Ratingen.

In 2012 Bierbrauer was involved in the exhibition "The Great," at the Museum Kunst Palast Düsseldorf where his hypnosis works were on display. He attended the exhibition.  In the autumn of the same year Bierbrauer died of heart failure.(3)

Work

Bierbrauer's key works are his hypnosis pictures from the early 1950s, his somnambulistic works, and his sculptures.

The focus of his work is the human being. In his early work pure representations of people, such as portraits and nudes can be found. He approached his artwork with concepts drawn from his background as a physician and psychotherapist, applying concepts of the human psyche to his work.

Bierbrauer painted the hypnosis images after stories and pictures from his patients in trance. They were created after the end of World War II created until the early 1950s.  Bierbrauer's art involved his work as a psychotherapist- using what he saw during hypnosis and narration from his patients, who were overcoming the personal traumas left by war. He claimed that he painted his pictures for the patients, in order to connect with them. He believed his works helped the patients while the patients' assisted his development as an artist creating works centered on the human psyche. In his understanding the artist could be a healer. With these works he had been one of the pioneers of the conceptual art movement in the 1960s in Europe.

His hypnosis paintings were accompanied with Bazon Brock and a performance of Joseph Beuys washing feet. Bazon Brock wrote in his book "Der Barbar als Kulturheld" (The barbarian as a cultural hero): "The results of these images that emerged then, are ultimately that important because they are artistic formally on the absolute highest level of its time. There is nothing comparable in the '50s."(5)

For Bierbrauer, since the late 1960s somnambulistic work had many parallels to works by informal artists like Emilio Vedova and Emil Schumacher. Their techniques are comparable also to the works of the abstract expressionism by Jackson Pollock or Jean-Michel Basquiat. Bierbrauer, trained by the hypnosis of his patients, began in this period to abstract from the patient's images and now betook himself into a somnambulistic, in a daydream-like state. He made paintings based on the "incorporation" of others and the search for his own identity.

Bierbrauer also produced sculptures. In his bronze figures such as the elephantine tantrum from 2001 he used an expressive free, unbound to the concrete form design, which received its informal expression which is increased by the titles-finding. They appear as trash-like sculptures, mostly composed of found material (see also Arte povera), connected with glue, metal wires and tinfoil.

title: Maya Lindholm

text:
Maya Lindholm (born 20 December 1990) is a  2.5 point wheelchair basketball player, who played with the German national team that won a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London. It also won a European title in 2011 and was runner-up in 2013. President Joachim Gauck awarded the team Germany's highest sporting honour, the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt (Silver Laurel Leaf).

Biography
Maya Lindholm was born in Hamburg on 20 December 1990. In 2004, she awoke one morning with severe back pain, and within hours she could no longer move her legs. Doctors diagnosed spinal cord inflammation. She is studying to be an occupational therapist at the BG Trauma Hospital in Hamburg Boberg. She began playing wheelchair basketball for fun at the hospital in 2005. In 2009, she was selected as part of the national team.

Classified as a 2.5 point player, Lindholm plays power forward. She was part of the team that won the European Championships in Nazareth, Israel, in 2011, thereby qualifying for the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games in London. As part of the team's preparation, they toured the United States and Australia. The German team went through the group stage undefeated, but started off slow in its games against the United States and China, winning these games by six-point margins, and seemed to play its best basketball only in the final minutes of a game.

In the Gold Medal match in London, the team faced the Australia women's national wheelchair basketball team, which had defeated them 48–46 in Sydney just a few months before. In front of a crowd of over 12,985 at the North Greenwich Arena, they defeated the Australians 58–44 to win the gold medal, the first that Germany had won in women's wheelchair basketball since 1984. They were awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf by President Joachim Gauck in November 2012, They were also named Team of the Year in Disability Sports for 2012, an annual award voted for by 3,000 members of the Association of German Sports Journalists.

Lindholm's local team, Hamburger SV, which also included national teammates Mareike Adermann and Edina Müller (and Australia's Bridie Kean) won the women's national championship for the eighth time in 2013. Lindholm was also part of the Hamburger SV team that had previously won it in 2010.

The German national team was not so fortunate, losing the final of the European Championship to the Netherlands before a home town crowd in Frankfurt. It claimed silver at the 2014 Women's World Wheelchair Basketball Championship in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and beat the Netherlands in the 2015 European Championships, to claim its tenth European title. At the 2016 Paralympic Games, it won silver after losing the final to the United States.
