My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks, known simply as Rainbow Rocks, is a 2014 animated fantasy musical film which is a part of Hasbro's Equestria Girls toy line and media franchise, which is a spin-off of the 2010 relaunch of the main My Little Pony franchise. The film was animated using Adobe Flash, directed by Jayson Thiessen and Ishi Rudell, written by Meghan McCarthy, and was produced by DHX Media's 2D animation studio in Vancouver, Canada for Hasbro Studios in the United States, as a sequel to the 2013's Equestria Girls film. The film premiered in select theaters across the United States and Canada on September 27, 2014, which was followed by broadcast on Discovery Family, a joint venture between Discovery, Inc. and Hasbro, on October 17, 2014, and then a home media release on October 28, 2014, by Shout! Factory.

Like the first film, Rainbow Rocks re-envisions the main characters of the parent franchise, normally ponies, as teenage humanoid characters in a high school setting. Set between the fourth and fifth seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the film's plot involves Twilight Sparkle returning to Canterlot High School in the parallel world to compete in a Battle of the Bands alongside the counterparts of her friends – including former school bully and former student of Princess Celestia, Sunset Shimmer – to save the school from a trio of sirens from Equestria.

The film was well received by critics, who described it as "far superior" to the first installment. It was followed by two sequels, Friendship Games and Legend of Everfree.

Plot
Former Canterlot High School bully and student of Princess Celestia, Sunset Shimmer, who has reformed after being defeated by the magic of Twilight Sparkle's crown, is ostracized by most of the school despite her efforts to atone. Her only friends are the counterparts of: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity, who have formed a rock band called "the Rainbooms" to participate in the school's upcoming musical showcase. The five girls discover that the magic left over from Twilight's crown has given them the ability to grow pony-like ears, tails, and wings when they play their instruments.

Hoping to make a fresh impression, Sunset gives a school tour to three new students – Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk – and informs them of the showcase, unaware that they possess magical powers. Calling themselves "the Dazzlings", the trio performs a song that turns the other students aggressive and competitive towards one another, convincing them to turn the showcase into a battle of the bands. Sunset and her friends are protected from the song by their magic, but fail to convince Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna of the danger. Sunset remembers a magical book kept by Princess Celestia, her mentor from Equestria, which she uses to send a message requesting Twilight's help.

Receiving Sunset's message, Twilight deduces that the Dazzlings are sirens from Equestria that feed on negative emotions to fuel their singing powers for their goal of world conquest. Twilight uses the book's magic to reactivate the portal, allowing her and Spike to return to the parallel world. Twilight and the girls attempt to lift the Sirens' spell, but it takes no effect. Concluding that they must perform a musical counter-spell, the girls enter the battle of the bands to give Twilight time to complete the spell. The Rainbooms face hostility and sabotage from the other bands throughout the competition, which raises tensions among themselves.

Desperate for time in the semi-final round against Trixie's band, Rainbow Dash performs an egotistical song to substitute the counter-spell and unknowingly nearly transforms. Sunset impulsively ruins her performance to keep her from exposing their plan to the Sirens, which angers the girls. The Sirens intervene to allow the Rainbooms' advancement to the final round anyway, which prompts a jealous Trixie to trap the Rainbooms beneath the stage to take their place. The girls enter a five-way argument (Rarity over Applejack not caring about her costume ideas for the band, Fluttershy over Rainbow Dash taking all the credit for the band and not playing any songs that she wrote, and Pinkie Pie because being in the band isn't fun at all), allowing the Sirens to absorb their magic. Realizing that their constant fighting is interfering with the counter-spell, Sunset convinces the girls to resolve their differences, while Twilight reasons that playing together as friends will make the counter-spell work.

Spike rescues the girls with assistance from DJ Pon-3, whose headphones' music protects her from the Sirens' spell. DJ Pon-3 provides a sound system that the Rainbooms use to engage the Sirens in a musical battle after the sirens had reached their peak in the movie with their signature "We will be Adored" verse. The rainbooms interrupted directly after the sirens finished their verse, and proceeded to transform into their "pony-up" forms to counter the Dazzlings spell, The Dazzlings then summoned their astral projections and the bands engaged in combat with music, and had been overwhelmed by the Sirens, They had been knocked down by the Dazzlings power, until the Rainbooms are joined by Sunset after Twilight had the mic flung out of her hand, and with Sunset's help, they destroy the Sirens' pendants, the sources of their powers, leading to the Sirens being booed offstage. Afterward, Twilight and Spike return to Equestria, while Sunset uses Celestia's book to remain in contact with Twilight.

During the credits, Sunset is seen having now been accepted by the rest of the school. In a post-credits scene, the parallel world's version of Twilight is shown investigating the strange magical activity around Canterlot High.

Production
On February 13, 2014, Meghan McCarthy wrote on Twitter that she had worked on the film during the summer of 2013. The film's opening credits were storyboarded by Tony Cliff. The storybook illustration depictions of the sirens in Equestria were done by Rebecca Dart. The illustrations shown during the ending credits were drawn by Katrina Hadley.

In the audio commentary included in home media releases, McCarthy commented that Equestria Girls was initially not intended to become an ongoing franchise and the thought of a sequel did not cross her mind. Additionally, Sunset did not become the main character until the second draft of the script. The commentary also points out that the midnight snack scene between Twilight and Sunset was added late into the film's production, and Rarity's line "we forgive you for your past...ahem...booboos" was ad-libbed by St. Germain and the freestyle rap by Snips and Snails' counterparts was genuine freestyling by Tockar and Ian Cox.

Music

On February 13, 2014, songwriter Daniel Ingram wrote on Twitter that there will be a total of 12 songs in the film, the greatest number of songs featured in a Friendship Is Magic episode or Equestria Girls film thus far; however, only 11 songs made it in the film.

Like in Equestria Girls, the songs were composed by Ingram with lyric writing shared between Ingram and screenwriter Meghan McCarthy; except "Rainbow Rocks" and "Shine Like Rainbows", which had lyrics by Ingram; "Bad Counter Spell" and "Under Our Spell" by McCarthy and "Shake Your Tail" having the first draft by the writer Amy Keating Rogers, in which Ingram later revised. Trevor Hoffman provided the arrangements for the songs and musician Caleb Chan produced the songs as well as playing guitar and bass.

Theatrical
The film received a limited theatrical release on September 27, 2014, in the United States through Screenvision theaters and in Canada through Cineplex theaters. It also received a "Purple Carpet" premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, which was attended by the cast and crew as well as some celebrities such as Jamie Foxx, Modern Family actress Ariel Winter and Academy Award nominee Quvenzhané Wallis. Like the first film, the screenings of Rainbow Rocks in the United States bore no classification from the MPAA (which is not mandatory), while the Canadian screenings had ratings from provincial film classification boards (usually G).

Merchandise and other media

The film is a part of music-themed Rainbow Rocks lineup, a second installment in the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls toy line and media franchise, which was first displayed at the 2014 American International Toy Fair. LB Kids published two novelizations of the film, all written by Perdita Finn. A Rainbow Rocks missile command-type mini-game was added to the Hasbro Arcade mobile app on April 8, 2014. An issue of IDW's Fiendship Is Magic features the sirens.

Animated shorts

Prelude

On February 13, 2014, the Entertainment Weekly website released the first trailer; about four months later, however, McCarthy confirmed on her Twitter post that the clips from that trailer "are separate shorts and not scenes in the movie." A series of eight animated shorts was released on Hasbro Studio's YouTube channel in 2014 from March 27 to June 19. The shorts were created by the Friendship Is Magic crew to tie into the film and are considered "prequels" to the film's events, detailing how each of them discovered that they could awaken Equestrian magic within them by playing their respective instruments.

The first eight shorts made their television debut on Discovery Family on May 30, 2015.

Encore
With lyric collaboration between Thiessen, Vogel, Lenard, Katrina Hadley, and Daniel Ingram and songs composed by Ingram, Hasbro released three Rainbow Rocks music videos on March 31, 2015: "Friendship Through the Ages", "Life Is a Runway" and "My Past is Not Today"; but were reuploaded two days later on April 2, 2015. These shorts are separate initiatives that lead up to the third Equestria Girls film installment, Friendship Games. On April 6, 2015, Ingram replied in a comment on Facebook that these will likely be on the next Equestria Girls album in late 2015. On September 17, 2015, the encore shorts were released as the first three audio tracks on the My Little Pony Equestria Girls: The Friendship Games soundtrack.

Soundtrack
The film's soundtrack was released on September 10, 2014, via the ITunes Store. Announced on Ingram's Twitter eight days later on September 18 (chart of September 27), the soundtrack placed #15 on the Kid Albums Billboard chart; two weeks later on October 2 (chart of October 11, 2014), the soundtrack placed #12; a week later on October 18, it placed #10.

Reception

Box office
In Hasbro's Q3 2014 Earnings Report, it was revealed that the box office returns from this film exceeded that of the first film in the first weekend by 37%. On a per-theater basis, sales for tickets grew by 19% in the first three weeks of its limited theatrical run. The film grossed $360,736 in its limited time in theaters in the United Kingdom, Finland, Mexico, United Arab Emirates and Uruguay.

Television viewership
When the main feature premiered on Discovery Family on October 17, 2014, it was viewed by approximately 610,000 viewers.

When the first eight Rainbow Rocks shorts made their television debut on Discovery Family on May 30, 2015, they were viewed by approximately 299,000 viewers.

Critical response
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks was well received by critics and fans. Sherilyn Connelly for The Village Voice called Rainbow Rocks "far superior" to the first Equestria Girls film and that while "the picture is continuity-heavy and not particularly accessible to newcomers", that the film was "up there with the show at its most thoughtful".  Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter complimented the film, saying "Though it's strictly for the faithful, the tween-friendly mix of cute and earnest has a forthright sharpness and is never cloying." Shane O'Hare of Geekscape gave the Blu-ray of the film a score of 4 out of 5, praising the soundtrack stating "The show's composer, Daniel Ingram,...killed it. 10 all new original recordings from Daniel really stole the show." Ed Liu of Toon Zone (now Anime Superhero), who gave the first film a mixed review, also found this film to be better. He wrote the film "is almost as sweet and charming as the best episodes of the series, finding new and interesting ways to expand on the show's themes of friendship."

"Gerry O", 12-year-old film critic for The Huffington Post's Kids First! called the film "a combination of adventure with a crème of comedy and a sprinkle of excitement all  up in a friendship sandwich."

In 2017, IGN named the film among the "Best Kids Movies Streaming on Netflix".

title: John Pritzlaff Hardware Company

text:
The John Pritzlaff Hardware Company is a complex of Italianate-styled buildings built from 1875 to 1919, a remnant of what was for years the largest wholesale hardware business in Milwaukee and the region. In 2013 the buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

John C. Pritzlaff was an immigrant from Pomerania, Prussia, who came to Milwaukee in 1841, before Wisconsin was a state. In 1850 he, August Suelflohn, and Henry Nazro opened a small hardware store on Third Street called John Pritzlaff and Company. Pritzlaff became the sole owner in 1866.

In 1875 Pritzlaff moved his business to the current location and shifted from retail to wholesale hardware. In that year he built the first structure. That 1875 main block is a four-story brick building. It has brick hood moulds over the windows and a denticulated, bracketed cornice - typical of the Italianate style that was popular at that time. On one side the cornice is broken by a round-topped pediment which frames "1875 - Pritzlaff". Additions and other blocks were added in 1879, 1887, 1895, 1903, 1912, 1915 and 1919. The surviving blocks are all brick, in Italianate style. As the buildings grew, so did the staff, from 52 in 1881 to 450 in 1931.

Pritzlaff's enterprise became the largest hardware company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and eventually became one of the largest wholesale hardware companies and iron supply houses in the Midwest. It was known for selling hardware, sewing machines, and toys through mail order catalogs to wholesale accounts throughout the United States.

After Pritzlaff died, his son, Fred C. Pritzlaff took over until his death in 1951. When Fred died, his son took over the firm until it closed in 1958.

Today the buildings have been renovated and converted into rental space for large events and high end apartments.

title: Sagrada Família Schools

text:
The Sagrada Família Schools (, ) building was constructed in 1909 by the modern Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí near the site of the Basílica de la Sagrada Família. It was a small school building for the children of the workers building the Sagrada Família, although other children of the neighborhood attended, especially from the underprivileged classes. The teaching was in the charge of Magin Espina Pujol, math teacher and friend of Gaudí, whose photo teaching classes are in the current school.

The building has a rectangular footprint of  by , and contains three classrooms, a hall, and a chapel, with lavatories in an addition to the building. The construction was done with a brick facade in three overlapping layers, following the Catalan technical tradition. Both the walls and the roof have a wavy form that gives the structure a sensation of lightness but, at the same time, great strength. On the exterior three areas intended as open-air classrooms were covered with iron pergolas.

The building has been seen as an example of constructive genius and has served as a source of inspiration for many architects for its simplicity, stamina, original volume, functionality, and geometrical purity. Its undulating form has been applied by architects like Le Corbusier, Pier Luigi Nervi, Félix Candela, and Santiago Calatrava.

History

The building was designed on the commission of the Devout of San José, created in 1866 by Josep Maria Bocabella, founder of the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia. Its principal promoter was Gil Parés, chaplain of the Sagrada Familia, who was the school's principal until 1930. At first he followed the pedagogic method of Andrés Manjón, founder of the school of Ave Maria de Granada, but from 1915 on he applied the Montessori method.

The schools were inaugurated on November 15, 1909 by the Bishop of Barcelona, Juan José Laguarda y Fenollera. It was originally located on ground destined to face the glory facade, in a site which would not be needed during the initial phases of the planned development of the Sagrada Família.

The school suffered grave damage during the Spanish Civil War, during which the building was dismantled in blocks and reconstructed later. Francesc Quintana was charged with its restoration in 1936-1937 with limited funds, resulting in its collapse and the need for renewed intervention in 1943 under Quintana. In 2002, the original schools site was required for the ongoing development of the church, and the schools building was again dismantled, and transferred to the southern corner of the site, between Sardenya and Mallorca Streets.

title: Kirjurinluoto

text:
Kirjurinluoto () is an island and a park in the delta of Kokemäenjoki river in the city of Pori in Finland. It is best known for the Kirjurinluoto Arena, an open-air concert park which hosts the annual Pori Jazz festival.

Kirjurinluoto is a part of the Pori National Urban Park. At the Kirjurinluoto island are located several facilities like cafés and restaurants, a playground for children, a beach, a miniature golf, a disc golf course and a summer theater.

History
In the latter half of the 19th century Kirjurinluoto island was a recreational area for the wealthy citizens of Pori. The English landscape garden was completed in 1897 by the design of Swedish garden designer Anders Fredrik Rydberg and the Art Nouveau style restaurant in 1910. It was drawn by Finnish architect Torkel Nordman. The first stage for musical events and theater plays was built in 1921. The park was later renovated in the 1930s and 1960s. The first bridge to Kirjurinluoto was opened in 1973, a smaller bridge for pedestrians and cyclists in 2001. A temporary bridge for pedestrian use is opened every summer. A new summer theater has been active in Kirjurinluoto since 2008.

In the early 1980s the City of Pori held an architecture competition for the design of a congress hall planned in Kirjurinluoto. The competition was won by a Danish architecture firm Kjær & Richter but the construction was never launched.

Concert park
Since 1966 Kirjurinluoto has been the main venue for Pori Jazz Festival which is one of the largest jazz festivals in Europe. A permanent stage, "Lokki" ("The Seagull"), was completed in 1974. Kirjurinluoto Arena is an open-air concert park for audience up to 80,000. It has been the venue for Pori Jazz Festival since 2004 and for Sonisphere Festival in 2009 and 2010, as well as for some individual happenings. Today the old Lokki-stage hosts smaller events, such as Porispere rock festival.

Over the decades, Kirjurinluoto has been a venue for dozens of international major artists, such as Metallica, Kylie Minogue, Iron Maiden, Elton John, Kanye West, Phil Collins, Carlos Santana and Sting.

title: Charles Kostboth

text:
Charles Kostboth (1853-1923) was a legislator in the 3rd South Dakota House of Representatives session from 1893 to 1894. He represented McCook County, South Dakota, then in the 11th District.

Charles was born to Wilhelm Kostboth and Maria Sophia Dorothea Muller in Prussia, Germany. The 12-year-old Kostboth came to the United States from Germany with his parents in April 1865, through the port of New York City. They lived on a farm near McGregor, Iowa. Charles married Catherine Metzger on September 27, 1877, near her home in Clayton Center, Iowa. They moved to South Dakota two years later, claiming a homestead five miles northwest of Canistota, on the west half of section 17. Charles's parents also moved to Canistota, and his father died at Charles's farmhouse in 1900.

The couple lived as pioneers on the sparse Dakota prairie where, as Charles' obituary notes, "even claim shanties were few and far between." Charles became an American citizen by appearing at the US District Court in the second district of Dakota Territory before Judge AJ Edgerton on November 14, 1883, where Kostboth "renounced allegiance to the Emperor of Germany [sic]." While on the homestead, Charles was active in public matters and held township and school offices. A doctor came from Sioux City, Iowa, and successfully performed an appendectomy on Charles who lay on the farm kitchen table. Kostboth increased the size of his farm and became one of the wealthier members of the Canistota community. He was known for his charity and generosity.

Charles, Catherine, and eight children lived on the homestead until 1912, when they moved to the town of Canistota. Kostboth was a founding member of German Lutheran Church (now Zion Lutheran Church) in Canistota. At the end of his life, Charles was president of Citizens State Bank in Canistota and Dakota State Bank in Salem, as well as treasurer of two grain elevator companies.

Kostboth suffered two partial paralytic strokes, three years and one year before his death in 1923. His cause of death was listed as senility, with secondary contributions from "chronic nephritis and hardening of the arteries", which were complications from an illness contracted around 1914. Charles Kostboth was buried on January 11, 1923, in the Canistota cemetery.

The Japan–Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) is a trade agreement between Australia and Japan. The negotiations for the agreement were concluded in 2014 and it took effect on January 15, 2015.

Background

Australia's negotiations for an agreement with Japan began under the Howard government in 2007. In April 2014, Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott led a trade delegation to Japan, South Korea and China. The three economies accounted for more than half of all of Australia's two-way trade. On the Japanese leg, Abbott was received by Emperor Akihito and, secured the key elements of a free trade agreement with the government of Shinzo Abe.

A number of concessions were secured for Australian agricultural exporters, while Australian tariffs on electronics, whitegoods and cars were to be lowered. Negotiations for the agreement began under the Howard government in 2007. Abbott said, "This is the first time that Japan has negotiated a comprehensive economic partnership agreement or free trade agreement with a major economy, particularly a major economy with a strong agricultural sector." Prime Minister Abe traveled to Australia in July to sign the Japan–Australia Economic Partnership Agreement, and address the Australian Parliament.

Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs said: "The agreement will provide valuable preferential access for Australia's exports and is by far the most liberalising trade agreement Japan has ever concluded. Australia and Japan are natural partners with highly complementary economies. The agreement will bring our economies and societies even closer and underpin a strong relationship for many years to come."

While the prior tariff on new car imports from Japan was eliminated, the agreement included a flat $12000 fee on imports of used vehicles from Japan.

After
With the commencement of the Japan free trade agreement in 2015, employers no longer need to offer jobs to locals or to prove that none could fill vacancies before Japanese nationals eligible for 457 visas are employed.

Criticism
Cookie Mueller, (1983), Details Magazine... “It’s sensational, a banquet, a veritable luau of fantasies.”

Rene Ricard, (1993,) Jean Michel Basquiat Catalog, Whitney Museum ..."You cannot name one painter of his generation comparison with whom Basquiat would not find laughable. the exception would be Robert Hawkins whose work Jean admired and collected"

Glenn O' Brien (June 21, 2006), GQ Magazine ..."Robert Hawkins is not a big famous artist because he has resisted all attempts to make him that. And, up to a point, that was necessary and right. But now that he has a large, madcap, ferociously witty, and startlingly original body of work behind him; now that he has gone through his self-crucifixion phase and resurrected himself from the dead; now that he has allowed the smile to follow quickly the scowl; now, I think, it's time he can relax and enjoy making artwork on his own roving, druidical, picaroon, anarchic, swashbuckling terms."

Breidenbach, Tom (October, 2008), Artforum ..."at once brooding and celebratory, a triumph of a sort of "outsider" aesthetic that refuses to be pinned down to one attitude, whether cynical. fantastical, or satirical."

title: Seal Island (Investigator Strait)

text:
Seal Island is an island located in Investigator Strait off the south coast of Yorke Peninsula in the Australian state of  South Australia about  south south-west of Stenhouse Bay.  Since 1972, it has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park.

Description

Seal Island is about  south south-west of Stenhouse Bay.  It is described as an ‘elevated hump’ rising to a height of  with a series of ‘segmented islets’ at its west side.  Seal Island is reported as being best accessed via its north coast and during the ‘calmest weather’.
A number of sources consider Seal Island along with the Althorpe Islands and Haystack Island to be a group of islands known as the Althorpe Islands Group.

Formation, geology and oceanography

Seal Island was formed between 7500 and 8900 years ago after sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene thereby separating Yorke Peninsula from Kangaroo Island.
Seal Island is the remains of a granite inselberg capped by a layer of Bridgewater Formation calcarenite which has been extensively eroded by the action of the sea.
Seal Island rises from a depth of  within  to its west and south shores, and within  of its east shore.

Flora and fauna

Flora

A survey carried out in 1996 reported that 10 species of plants to be present including Nitre-bush, Grey Samphire, Roundleaved Pigface, Sea Celery, Marsh Saltbush and Ruby Saltbush and Australian Hollyhocks.

Fauna

A survey carried out in 1996 reported the following vertebrate animals to be present - Black-faced cormorant, Little penguin, Sooty oystercatcher, Rock parrot, Silver gull and Fairy tern.  The 1996 survey also noted the presence of Galahs and Australian sea lions but assumed these animals were not residents of the island.  Subsequent surveys found that Australian sea lions do use the island as a haul-out area and possibly  as a rookery, while the Crested tern has been observed as being present on the island.

Protected areas status

Since 1972, the island has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park.  Since 2007, it has been a prohibited area where access is only allowed by permit in order to protect breeding population of seabirds.

title: Abbey of St. Peter in Oudenburg

text:
The Abbey of St. Peter in Oudenburg () was an abbey established in 1070 by Arnold of Soissons in Oudenburg, West Flanders, which is now located in present-day Belgium.

History
Arnold founded the abbey after he was removed from his position as Bishop of Soissons and at the abbey Arnold began to brew beer to remove pathogens from the water and encouraged the locals to drink it.

In 1173 this abbey started to reclaim salt marshes (flooded land). This resulted in the creation of the Bamburg polder.

In medieval times the pigeons in the town square belonged to the Abbey farm.

The abbey was demolished at the time of the French Revolution. On the 16 February 1797 the abbey and all properties were sold and the buildings were largely demolished. The last monk was Veremundus Norbertus Da (1770–1852) and the property became a farm.

Site today
One tower from the abbey was not destroyed during the Revolution and during Nazi occupation, this tower served as a lookout.

In 1934 Steenbrugge Abbey got the naming rights from St. Peter's Abbey, and in 1989 the farm became a hotel. The town Roman Archeological Museum lies nearby the former abbey and displays some relics of the abbey in its collection.

title: The Dreamer (1936 film)

text:
The Dreamer () is a 1936 German historical drama film directed by Carl Froelich and starring Emil Jannings, Hilde Weissner, and Harald Paulsen. It is based on the play of the same name by German playwrights Oskar Jerschke and Arno Holz. The film's art direction was by Franz Schroedter, a leading set designer of the era. It premiered at Berlin's Ufa-Palast am Zoo.

Plot
A small garrison town in northern Germany. Professor Niemeyer is the director of the Königliches Gymnasium there and is nicknamed “Traumulus” ("Traum" being the German word for "dream") by his students because of his traditional views and his unworldly demeanor. His values are those of the last century, and his ideas of decency, custom and morals elicit no more than shakes of the head and astonishment from the young high school students. His favorite student is Kurt von Zedlitz, descendant of an old, respected family. Once again, in the morning hours, the young man returned to the high school dormitory of the school building via the rope ladder. Kurt is teased by his classmates about whether he might have an affair in town and that's why he came back so late this way.

Prof. Niemeyer has prepared a festival play for the ceremony taking place the next morning on the occasion of the inauguration of a monument in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm I. After going to church, Niemeyer meets his old adversary, the District Administrator of Kannewurf, of all people. Kannewurf is delighted to finally be able to mend the headmaster's witness, after all he has heard that Niemeyer's favorite pupil Zedlitz was seen in the company of a sophisticated actress, a certain Lydia Link, in a somewhat shady bar called "The Golden Peacock". Hoping to give Niemeyer the shock of his life, the district administrator rubs this latest gossip in his face with relish.

Traumulus then starts an investigation, and Kurt von Zedlitz admits to this "misdeed", but without adding that he subsequently followed this lady with the dubious reputation to her apartment. Kurt follows the advice of Niemeyer's son from his first marriage, Fritz Niemeyer, who in turn leads an extremely relaxed lifestyle. Fritz Niemeyer's stepmother Jadwiga, Traumulus' second wife, regularly redeems his debts. Fritzen's easy dealings with his father's much younger wife also give rise to some speculation.

While the rehearsals for the Wilhelm celebration are taking place on the market square, the members of the forbidden association “Anti-Tyrannia”, mostly pupils and alumni of the grammar school, meet in the bakery of the master baker Schladebach. After District Administrator von Kannewurf got wind of it, he had the conference venue raided and the participants arrested. Kurt von Zedlitz is also among those arrested, but that's just by coincidence: he had "lifted" the house arrest imposed by Traumulus on his own initiative and had joined the meeting to suggest to the anti-Tyrannia people that their group should be dissolved. Prof. Niemeyer is shocked when he learns that his favorite student is among those arrested, as he thought he was under house arrest.

Niemeyer is deeply disappointed in Zedlitz, his world is collapsing. He showers the boy with reproaches and expels him from the house. Zedlitz is in shock himself, he cannot utter a single word in his own defense and storms out of the house in confusion. From then on, Kurt von Zedlitz seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and even District Administrator Kannewurf is beginning to worry. Again he gets into another encounter with Niemeyer. He seeks consolation from his wife Jadwiga, but she shows no interest in his problem.

Finally, the old professor learns of Kurt's pure intentions when he was arrested in the bakery. But it is too late. He still doesn't know that Kurt killed himself. Turning to the students, the professor quickly finds the strength for a forward-looking word: "He was no hero... so steel and harden yourselves and conquer yourself."

title: Phantom (Betraying the Martyrs album)

text:
Phantom is the second studio album by French metalcore band Betraying the Martyrs. The album was released on 15 July 2014 through Sumerian Records. It is the band's only album to feature drummer Mark Mironov.

Background
The first song to be released from the album was "Where the World Ends", released on 28 May 2014. The song was first performed live on 25 May in Lyon, France. On 17 June, a lyric video for the second single, "Jigsaw", was released.

"Let It Go" is a cover of the song from the 2013 film, Frozen. The cover was critically acclaimed, with AllMusic contributor Gregory Heaney stating that the cover conveys the same emotion as the original (sung by Idina Menzel) while radically altering the delivery, adding that it "feels like a testament to both the versatility of metal and the universality of show tunes." Heavy metal website MetalSucks labelled the cover as "truly exceptional" in an otherwise negative review of the album. However, Under the Gun named the cover as their "least metal moment of the week" on 14 July. The cover became one of the band's most popular songs and has accumulated 8.5 million views on YouTube, as of April 2022.

The song "Legends Never Die" is a tribute dedicated to late Suicide Silence vocalist Mitch Lucker, who agreed to appear on one of the album's tracks on 31 October but died a day later in an accident.

title: Ben Shaoul

text:
Ben Shaoul is a New York City-based real estate owner and developer. He is the president of Magnum Real Estate Group, a residential real estate development and management company headquartered in New York City. Shaoul is best known as a prominent developer in the Manhattan borough of New York City.

Early life
Shaoul was born in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City to an Iranian Jewish family, the son of Abraham and Minoo Shaoul. His father ran an antiques business. He grew up in Great Neck, New York. He briefly attended community college but dropped out at the age of 19.

Career
After he left school, he interned for a summer with a New York-based developer run by the Ohebshalom family, (also of Persian Jewish heritage). He oversaw the renovation of his father's property and later took out a mortgage on the building. In 1998, he and his parents co-founded Magnum Real Estate Group. In 1999, Shaoul used the proceeds from that mortgage to buy his first property, which was located on Mott Street in Nolita. Shaoul purchases buildings that have not been renovated for a long time and renovates them, and then increases the rent. He primarily focuses on the East Village has added luxury apartments on top existing buildings.

In 2013, Shaoul and Magnum Real Estate Group opened Bloom62, a luxury apartment building located in the East Village. Shaoul and Westbrook Partners sold a jointly-held investment portfolio of 17 properties for $130 million to Jared Kushner in February of that year. He later partnered with SL Green Realty to acquire properties in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Shaoul also began developing a dormitory for the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and ventured into Tribeca where he purchased the top 22 floors of the 32 story art-deco Verizon Building for conversion to condominiums. In July 2014, he purchased the 199-unit Post Toscana on the Upper East Side and the 138-unit Post Luminaria in Kips Bay for $270 million to convert into condominiums. Both buildings have soon-to-expire tax abatements thereafter exempting them from rent stabilization rules.

Shaoul has acquired and sold over 100 properties to include everything from the renovation of thousands of apartments to a $500M condominium conversion.

Personal life
Shaoul is married to Megan Walsh Shaoul. They have three children: Henry, Piper, and Mayer. He has been criticized for contributing to the decline of rent-regulated apartments in the East Village. He was labeled "Sledgehammer Shaoul" after confronting tenants in a building he purchased and being photographed with construction workers holding sledgehammers and crowbars. In 2014, he was sued by his parents for using the proceeds from the refinancing of co-owned assets to fund his development projects. The dispute was later resolved.

title: Joshua Cooper (1732–1800)

text:
Joshua Cooper (1732 – 16 December 1800) was an Irish landowner and politician from County Sligo.

Cooper was educated at Trinity College Dublin.

He sat in the House of Commons of Ireland from 1761 to 1783, as
a Member of Parliament (MP) for Castlebar from 1761 to 1768, and for County Sligo 1768 to 1783.
He was made a Privy Councillor in 1776 by King George III.

Cooper was the older of two sons of Joshua Cooper MP and his wife Mary, the daughter of Richard Bingham of Newbrook, County Mayo. He inherited his father's estate of Markree Castle near Collooney.
He married Alicia Synge, daughter of Edward Synge, the Bishop of Elphin. On his death, Markree passed to his oldest son Joshua Edward Cooper (–1837), who was an MP for County Sligo from 1790 to 1806. Joshua Edward became deranged by 1806, and management of Markree passed to Joshua's younger son Edward Synge Cooper (1762–1830), whose son Edward Joshua Cooper inherited Markree in 1837.

title: Kôdi Husimi

text:
Kōji Husimi (June 29, 1909 – May 8, 2008, ) was a Japanese theoretical physicist who served as the president of the Science Council of Japan. Husimi trees in graph theory, the Husimi Q representation in quantum mechanics, and Husimi's theorem in the mathematics of paper folding are named after him.

Education and career
Husimi studied at the University of Tokyo, graduating in 1933. He spent a year there as an assistant, and then moved to Osaka University in 1934, where he soon began working with Seishi Kikuchi. At Osaka, he became Dean of the Faculty of Science. He moved to Nagoya University in 1961, and directed the plasma institute there. He retired in 1973, and became a professor emeritus of both Nagoya and Osaka.

Contributions

Physics
A 1940 paper by Husimi introduced the Husimi Q representation in quantum mechanics. Husimi also gave the name to the kagome lattice, frequently used in statistical mechanics.

Graph theory
In the mathematical area of graph theory, the name "Husimi tree" has come to refer to two different kinds of graphs: cactus graphs (the graphs in which each edge belongs to at most one cycle) and block graphs (the graphs in which, for every cycle, all diagonals of the cycle are edges). Husimi studied cactus graphs in a 1950 paper, and the name "Husimi trees" was given to these graphs in a later paper by Frank Harary and George Eugene Uhlenbeck. Due to an error by later researchers, the name came to be applied to block graphs as well, causing it to become ambiguous and fall into disuse.

Pacifism and world affairs
Husimi was an early member of the Science Council of Japan, joining it in 1949, and it was largely through his efforts that the Science Council in 1954 issued a statement proposing principles for the peaceful use of nuclear power and opposing the continued existence of nuclear weapons. This statement, in turn, led to the Japanese law outlawing military uses of nuclear technology.
Later, he served as president of the Science Council of Japan from 1977 to 1982. He was also a frequent participant in the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs and a leader of the Committee of Seven for World Peace.

Recreational mathematics
Husimi's recreational interests included origami; he designed several variations of the traditional orizuru (paper crane), folded on paper shaped as a rhombus instead of the usual square, and studied the properties of the bird base that allow it to be varied within a continuous family of deformations.
With his wife, Mitsue Husimi, he wrote a book on the mathematics of origami, which included a theorem characterizing the folding patterns with four folds meeting at a single vertex that may be folded flat. The generalization of this theorem to arbitrary numbers of folds at a single vertex is sometimes called Husimi's theorem.

text:
Amphirhagatherium is an extinct genus of artiodactyl that lived in northern Europe during the middle to late Eocene.

The dentition of Amphirhagatherium suggests that the genus had a mixed diet of leaves and fruits likely eaten at ground level. Caniniform anterior teeth suggest that there may have been a small carnivorous dietary component, or were used for intraspecific combat.

title: The Parting Song (film)

text:
The Parting Song (Greek:To tragoudi tou horismou) is a 1939 Greek drama film directed by Filopimin Finos and starring Evgenia Danika, Labros Konstadaras and Linda Miranda. It was the only film directed by Finos, better-known for running the production company Finos Films. The film was long thought to be lost after it was destroyed by the Germans during the Occupation of Greece, but a fragmented copy was discovered in Egypt.

The film is notable as the first Greek film to be processed in a Greek technical laboratory (previous films had been processed abroad) which had been built by Finos Films. The film was a commercial failure on its release, and met a hostile reception from critics.

Synopsis
While holidaying on the island of Hydra, a wealthy Athenian woman meets and falls in love with a local fisherman. She seduces him away from his girlfriend and takes him with her to the city to pursue a career as a singer. Despite enjoying success, he decides that city life is not for him and returns to his home and his previous girlfriend who really loves him.

Tatli was born in Prizren, Yugoslavia, in present-day Kosovo, to a Turkish father and Albanian mother. He moved to Finland at the age of four and was raised in Hämeenlinna. Having first trained in karate as a youth, at age fourteen he started boxing and won his first Finnish Amateur Championship title in 2004.

Professional career

Tatli turned professional in 2007. In December 2012 he won the vacant EBU-EU lightweight title against Paolo Gassani and in March 2013 Tatli beat Felix Lora for the WBA Inter-Continental lightweight title. He successfully defended the title against Mzonke Fana in December 2013 and against Antonio De Vitis in May 2014.

In July 2014 it was announced that Tatli will challenge Richard Abril for the WBA lightweight world champion title on September 20 in Helsinki. Tatli is the second Finnish boxer fighting for the World Championship title. Olli Mäki lost a featherweight championship match to Davey Moore in August 1962 at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The fight between Abril and Tatli is promoted by Olli's son Pekka Mäki of P3 Boxing Oy. He lost the fight by majority decision

He was supposed to fight the EBU lightweight champion Emiliano Marsili on 25 April. Marsili got injured and vacated the belt. Tatli fought Yvan Mendy instead for the EBU lightweight title, and won the fight by unanimous decision.

Edis Tatli was scheduled to face two time lightweight challenger Kevin Mitchell on 18 March 2016 in Finland, but on 10 February, Mitchell announced his retirement and withdrawal from the fight. Tatli instead faced Massimiliano Ballisai and won the fight by unanimous decision.

On 13 August 2016, Tatli defended his European title against Christian Morales by unanimous decision.

On 6 May, 2017, Tatli was slated to defend his EBU lightweight belt against the highly rated Francesco Patera in his native Finland. The bout would start slow, with both boxers coming up to speed as the fight progressed. Patera was the busier man, but Tatli scored the powershots. The fight was ruled a split-decision win for Patera, with the judges scoring the fight 112-116, 113-115 and 116-112 for Patera.

In the immediate rematch, the fight was fast and entertaining from the beginning. Both fighters traded throughout the fight, with Tatli being the one whose shots visibly affected his opponent. Tatli was aggressive for most of the time, and even though he didn't manage to score a knockdown, all judges scored the fight 119-109 for the Finn, allowing him to retain the EBU lightweight title.

On 20 April, 2019, Tatli fought rising prospect Teofimo Lopez, who was ranked #4 by the WBA, WBC and IBF and #5 by the WBO at lightweight. As many expected, Lopez ended the fight inside the distance with a vicious body shot in the fifth round, from which Tatli could not get up.

Tatli returned to the ring against Berman Sánchez on 10 August 2019, winning the bout via unanimous decision.

He was scheduled to fight for the EBU lightweight title against Gianluca Ceglia in May 2020, but the bout was postponed to take place on 8 August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In turn, the bout was postponed twice due to Tatli's shoulder surgery and the recovery and is now expected to take place on 14 August 2021.

Other appearances
In Autumn 2018, Tatli won Dancing with the Stars, the Finnish version of the dance contest Strictly Come Dancing.
