title: Roland (name)

text:
Roland is a masculine Frankish given name that is also used as a family name. Forms in other languages include: Orlando (Italian), Rolando (Italian, Portuguese, Spanish), Roldán (Spanish), Lorand (Hungarian).

Origin
The name Roland originates from Frankish.  Its meaning has usually been identified as "famous land," "from the famous land," or "fame of the land", derived from the stems "Hrōð" or "χrōþi" meaning fame, and "land" (Hrōþiland). Some claim that "land" was derived from "nand," meaning "brave.",

The name became widespread after the semi-legendary military hero Roland who served in the Frankish army under Charlemagne circa 778 A.D. and whose exploits were celebrated in the Chanson de Roland or Song of Roland.

Variations include "Rollo" in British English and "Rolle" in Scandinavian languages.

title: Papervision3D

Papervision3D is an open-source, 3D graphics engine for rendering 3D content within Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR.

Unlike modern Flash 3D engines such as Away3D and Flare3D, Papervision3D is not built for Stage3D and renders 3D content fully on the CPU without GPU-accelerated rendering.

History
Papervision3D was launched by Carlos Ulloa around December 2005; it was made open source by the end of 2006. Papervision3D was of the first 3D rendering engines built for Adobe Flash Player, and at the time of its launch in 2005, was the most complete and best known 3D engine for Flash. It used drawTriangles() to render 3D content fully on the CPU, within Flash Player.

According to a 2009 book Papervision3D was "without a doubt the best known" 3D engine for Flash. A 2012 book called it the "granddaddy of 3D libraries for Flash" and argued that "There is a simple reason for PaperVision3D's popularity: it is very complete in its execution."

Away3D was forked from Papervision3D, for the purpose of improving performance. Another 2011 book noted in the section on "3D with Flash" that "Away3D and Alternativa3D are currently the preferred solution for performance and features because they have a more active development community".

Although popular between its introduction in 2006 and 2009, development has stopped since 2009 and it has been superseded by Away3D which has been adopted by Adobe as the sole 3D rendering engine included within the official Adobe Gaming SDK.

title: Robert Faesi

text:
Robert Faesi (; 10 April 1883, Zürich10 September 1972, Zollikon) was a Swiss writer and academic concerned with Literature and language

Life
Son of the businessman Heinrich Friedrich Faesi, Robert Faesi was born into a well established and affluent Zürich family. After successfully completing his schooling, he initially studied Law, before switching to German studies. In 1907 he obtained his doctorate with a dissertation on Abraham Emanuel Fröhlich, a nineteenth century poet-theologian. Faesi then took a position as a high school teacher in Zürich, also undertaking several extended educational tours, before ending up in 1911 at the University of Zurich where he was appointed, in 1922, "extraordinary" professor for the history of modern Swiss and German literature. Further distinctions and promotions followed at the university, and in 1953, he was nominated an emeritus professor.

From his perspective as a Germanist he wrote monographs about writers of "modern classics" such as Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Carl Spitteler, Rainer Maria Rilke and Thomas Mann, and also chronicled a history of recent Swiss literature. With his story Fusilier Wipf which was the basis for a film that came out in 1938, Faesi also made a start on his own contribution to the more popular end of the nation's literary canon. For his Zürcher-trilogy of novels, dealing with the history of Zürich during the first half of the nineteenth century, he received the city's literary prize in 1945.

A collection of letters and other documentary material on Robert Faesi along with some memoir-material is held in the Manuscript department at the Zürich Central Library

title: Āloka David Smith

text:
Āloka David Smith (born David Smith, 10 June 1946, died 31 July 2015) was a lay Buddhist practitioner and teacher of the DharmaMind Buddhist Group.

Biography
Āloka David Smith was born and raised in Oxford, England. His dharma training began in his twenties with Zen, practicing with the Venerable Myokyo-ni, a teacher from the Rinzai school, at the Buddhist Society Zen Centre in London. He trained with the Venerable Myokyo-ni for over five years, before travelling to Sri Lanka in 1980. He then spent three years living and practicing as a Theravada monk under the guidance of the Venerable Dhammaloka Maha Thera. It was during his time in Sri Lanka, in 1981, that his spiritual breakthrough took place. This event and the experiences that followed it are the subject of his first book, A Record of Awakening, published in 1999. This period of his training is discussed in an interview with Conscious TV.

After disrobing and returning to live in the UK, Āloka matured his practice living on his own for a number of years in east London. Although he had been asked to travel and teach by his teacher in Sri Lanka, it was not until the publication of his first book that he took on this role, when he began leading retreats at centres of the Triratna Community in the UK and abroad. Āloka's association with the Triratna Community ended in 2006. It was during this time that the DharmaMind Buddhist Group was formed, whose formless practice is closely allied to that of Chinese Chán, Zen and Dzogchen.

The name Āloka can be translated as light, or as the Venerable Dhammaloka Maha Thera intended, ‘light of the dharma’.

title: 2014 Tour de Pologne

text:
The 2014 Tour de Pologne was the 71st running of the Tour de Pologne cycling stage race. It started on 3 August in Gdańsk and ended on 9 August in Kraków, after seven stages. It was the twentieth race of the 2014 UCI World Tour season.

Participating teams
As the Tour de Pologne was a UCI World Tour event, all eighteen UCI ProTeams were invited automatically and obligated to send a squad. Along with Team Poland – the Polish national team – two other squads were given wildcard places into the race, and as such, formed the event's 21-team peloton.

The twenty-one teams that competed in the race were:

Schedule

Stages

Stage 1

3 August 2014 — Gdańsk to Bydgoszcz,

In line with the 25th anniversary of Poland moving from a communist to a democratic country and being freed from Soviet grasp, the 71st Tour de Pologne started in Gdańsk, a city famous for being the home of the Solidarność union, largely responsible for the political changes. The first stage was predominantly flat, featuring just one categorised climb, a third category ascent in Bydgoszcz, on the second of three  loops ending the stage. During the stage, there were also special sprints in Pruszcz Gdański and Malbork, as well as two intermediate sprints offering points for the intermediate sprints classification in Kwidzyn and Unisław. It was largely expected that this stage would be won by a sprinter, who would take the first yellow jersey.

Immediately after the start, a breakaway was initiated by Matthias Krizek of , and he was shortly joined by Jimmy Engoulvent of  and Anton Vorobyev of , as well as two home riders – Maciej Paterski of  and Kamil Gradek riding for a selective Polish national team. The five riders built up an advantage that reached 15 minutes over the peloton. The riders faced extreme temperatures at the start, the mercury reaching . Gradek took maximum points at the intermediate sprint in Kwidzyn, whilst Engoulvent won at the Unisław sprint. With both riders having four points on their tally, the battle for the first navy blue jersey in the intermediate sprints classification would continue until the line.

Eventually, the peloton started to minimise the gap to the breakaway, but it was then that a torrential downpour hit the race, causing at least one tree to fall over and block part of the road and at least 4 crashes, including 1 in the breakaway. Paterski attacked on the streets of Bydgoszcz, trying to take the first fuchsia jersey. He succeeded, with only him, Engoulvent and Krizek remaining on the last lap. Paterski led the way to try and take the stage victory but was caught under the flamme rouge. A sprint finish was ensured, with 's Yauheni Hutarovich taking the stage victory, and the yellow and white jerseys with it. As he came higher in the stage, Engoulvent beat Gradek to the navy blue jersey.

Stage 2

4 August 2014 — Toruń to Warsaw,

Like the previous stage, this stage was suited towards the sprinters. Heading eastwards, there were no categorised climbs, ensuring that 's Maciej Paterski would keep the fuchsia jersey. Also like the previous stage, there were two intermediate sprints, coming in Kampinos and in Stare Babice, ahead of a  loop in Warsaw, to be completed three times.

Further like in the first stage, the breakaway was formed just after the start. Petr Vakoč of  attacked first and was shortly joined by Bartłomiej Matysiak and Przemysław Kasperkiewicz. With  pacing the leader, Yauheni Hutarovich, the lead of the breakaway topped four minutes in the early running. However, at the time of the intermediate sprints (both were located towards the end of the stage), the lead of the trio reached seven minutes and the peloton was in no rush to chase them. Vakoč attacked at the second sprint (taking full points at both, thus taking the intermediate sprints' navy blue jersey) and rode solo into Warsaw, whilst the peloton tried to quickly catch him, failing to do so. Vakoč took the victory with a 21" advantage over the peloton, brought home by Michael Matthews. Thanks to the victory, Vakoč became the leader of the race. Hutarovich finished fifth, thus keeping the white jersey and second place, with a 27" deficit to Vakoč because of time bonuses.

Stage 3

5 August 2014 — Kielce to Rzeszów,

Just like the previous two stages, this stage was aimed at the sprinters, although noticeably shorter. The parcours of  featured one intermediate sprint in Głogów Małopolski and one third category climb on the streets of Rzeszów. A  loop was also to be completed twice ahead of an expected sprint finish.

Again, the breakaway was formed right after the start, and included 's Salvatore Puccio, 's Björn Thurau, 's Mateusz Taciak and Team Poland's Paweł Franczak. The four riders built up an advantage that reached 4 minutes over the peloton controlled by  protecting the overall race leader, Petr Vakoč. Thurau took full points at the sprint in Głogów whilst Taciak took the mountain points available in Rzeszów. The breakaway was eventually caught with  to go and the leadouts began.  had the best leadout for Luka Mezgec, who started his sprint with about  to go. Just when it looked like he would take the stage victory, 's Theo Bos let go of Mezgec's wheel, passed him and ultimately beat Mezgec by half a bike length. In the general classification, no changes were visible, as 152 of the 164 riders were given the same time as Bos, including 4 caught up in a crash with  to go.

Stage 4

6 August 2014 — Tarnów to Katowice,

This stage was the longest stage of the 71st Tour de Pologne, and was almost identical to stage 4 the previous year. On the parcours of , there were three intermediate sprints in the towns of Jaworzno, Mysłowice and Siemanowice Śląskie, two special sprints in Szczurowa and Olkusz and two third-category climbs, both on the streets of Katowice, where the riders had to complete 4 laps of a  loop. There was some rolling terrain in the middle of the stage, yet none of the ascents were categorised. With the finish being on a downhill section of road by the Spodek arena, a sprint finish was expected to take place, with speeds reaching .

Multiple groups attempted to breakaway from the peloton in the first part of the stage, but none were successful. It was not until over 2 hours into the race a group was allowed to break. The group consisted of 's Josh Edmondson, 's Matthias Krizek and 's Mateusz Taciak. They built up an advantage over the peloton that topped four minutes. Krizek took full points at all three intermediate sprints which resulted in him taking over the navy blue jersey from the race leader Petr Vakoč, who was protected by his teammates from . Later, Taciak took full points on both climbs, which resulted in him taking over the fuchsia jersey from teammate Maciej Paterski.

The trio were eventually caught with one lap to go, and a series of solo counterattacks took place to try and prevent a sprint finish. However, none of these were successful and the peloton prepared for a sprint finish. To the surprise of most people, it was Jonas van Genechten of  who won the sprint whilst travelling at . Vakoč kept his race lead whilst Krizek moved into second place, thanks to bonus seconds earned at the intermediate sprints.

Stage 5

7 August 2014 — Zakopane to Štrbské Pleso (Slovakia),

The first stage to enter the mountains was also the first time the Tour visited Slovakia. Only  of the  was held in Poland, the rest being held in the Slovakian High Tatras. On the parcours were 5 categorised climbs – a second category ascent in Huty, a third category ascent in Východná and three first category ascents in Štrbské Pleso, a climb  long averaging 5% and reaching a maximum of 5.9%. Two of the ascents were part of a  loop around Štrbské Pleso. On the last loop, the race deviated slightly for the last kilometre, climbing to an altitude of . There were also two intermediate sprints, located in Liptovský Mikuláš and Liptovský Hrádok, as well as a special sprint in Suchá Hora, just across the Slovakian border. This stage was expected to turn the general classification around as the sprinters were expected to lose time and be replaced in the top 10 by climbers.

Unlike the previous stages, the break was formed just before reaching the Slovakian border, with eight riders making it into the breakaway. Team Poland's Paweł Bernas won the special sprint in Suchá Hora before the breakaway's lead topping four minutes. Later, Bernas also took both intermediate sprints, gaining six bonus seconds for the general classification. Former mountains classification leader Maciej Paterski of  was in the breakaway, and he took full points at the climbs in Huty and Východná, as well as the first climb in Štrbské Pleso, in an attempt to regain the fuchsia jersey, in which he ultimately succeeded. Paterski and 's Sebastian Lander attacked on the descent from the first category mountain, however they were soon caught by the rest of the breakaway which was extended to 16 riders. Christian Meier of  took full points at the second ascent of Štrbské Pleso before the group were caught.

Multiple solo attacks were attempted on the final climb, however none of these were successful. Towards the end, leader Petr Vakoč fell out of the peloton and started to lose time. The reduced peloton was prepared for a sprint finish which, to the delight of the home fans, was won by Rafał Majka, fresh from his win in the mountains classification in the Tour de France. Due to time bonuses, Majka advanced to 2nd place, one second behind Vakoč. Beñat Intxausti finished 2nd, ahead of teammate Ion Izagirre; they also advanced to 3rd and 4th overall, 5 and 7 seconds behind Vakoč respectively.

Stage 6

8 August 2014 — Terma Bukowina Tatrzańska to Bukowina Tatrzańska,

As was customary in the previous editions of the race, the queen stage of the 2014 Tour de Pologne was a circuit race around Bukowina Tatrzańska. To make up the parcours of , the peloton first completed a  ride to Zakopane, three  loops around Zakopane on which were two special sprints, a return  ride before entering a  loop to be completed four times. Each loop featured three climbs – a first category ascent to Ząb, with gradients reaching 11.5%, a first category ascent to Gliczarów Górny, with gradients reaching 21.5% and the final, uncategorised ascent to Bukowina Tatrzańska. In total, the riders completed nearly  of climbing during the stage.

The day's breakaway was formed on the first ascent of Ząb and featured eight riders. Amongst them was Maciej Paterski of , who won five of the first six mountain climbs, in order to ensure a win in the fuchsia jersey. The eight riders built an advantage that reached a maximum of four minutes. However, because of the tempo set by  in the peloton, they were caught on the last climb of Gliczarów Górny, which offered double points for the mountains classification.

Rafał Majka, who was second overall, attacked at the same time, and took a group of 10–15 riders with him. Leader Petr Vakoč fell back on the last climb to the finish, thus almost ensuring he would lose the yellow jersey. Majka attacked once again with  to go and ultimately won the stage, his second in a row, in order to take the yellow jersey from Vakoč. For the second day running, Beñat Intxausti finished 2nd, ahead of Ion Izagirre. The duo also rose to 2nd and 3rd in the general classification, 18 and 22 seconds behind Majka respectively, ahead of the final time trial.

Stage 7

9 August 2014 — Kraków to Kraków, , individual time trial (ITT)

Like the previous year, the last stage was an intermediate time trial, starting and finishing in Kraków. For the first half of the race, the peloton headed south-east, before completing a U-turn in Wieliczka and heading north-west back to Kraków. It was expected that the general classification would be settled on this stage, however time trialists were expected to come first. As was customary of time trial stages, cyclists set off in reverse order from where they were ranked in the general classification at the end of the previous stage. Thus, Jack Bobridge of , who, in 137th place, trailed overall leader Rafał Majka () by one hour, forty-four minutes and thirty-nine seconds, was the first rider to set off on the stage.

Bobridge set a time of 31' 10", but that was soon to be beaten by Rick Flens, who was 12 seconds faster, before both were beaten by 's Mateusz Taciak, with a time of 29' 57". Taciak held on for almost an hour and was beaten by Adriano Malori, who recorded 29' 21". However, it was the Belgian Time Trial National Champion Kristof Vandewalle who won the stage for  in a time of 29' 18". With the stage being decided, the focus for the stage shifted towards the battle for the general classification and the overall victory.

Robert Gesink, sixth before the stage, dropped to eighth, being overtaken by Andrey Amador and Philip Deignan, who both recorded better times than Gesink. 's Przemysław Niemiec, meanwhile, was 31st in the time-trial, good enough to move him to fifth – a climb from eighth. Fourth placed Christophe Riblon managed to defend his position with a time of 29' 56", the ninth-best time of the day. Out of the top three, Majka was judged to be the weakest time trialist but had a lead on 18 seconds over Beñat Intxausti and 22 seconds over Ion Izagirre. Izagirre went first and recorded a time of 29' 47", fourth on the stage and the best from any rider in the top five. Intxausti, meanwhile, only recorded 30' 05"  whilst leader Majka stopped the clock in 30' 01". Therefore, he gained four seconds over Intxausti but lost fourteen to Izagirre. Still, this was good enough for him to take his first victory in a UCI World Tour race, to the delght of the home fans – he won the mountains classification in the Tour de France a mere two weeks before and was 6th in the Giro d'Italia earlier in the season. Izagirre, meanwhile, overtook his countryman Intxausti to come second, with Intxausti completing the podium.

title: Watermill at Opwetten

text:
The Watermill at Opwetten (Dutch: Opwettense watermolen) is a watermill along the river Kleine Dommel, located on the Opwettenseweg 203 in , Nuenen, Gerwen en Nederwetten, in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands. First mentioned in the 11th century, the watermill burned down and was rebuilt in 1764.

There have been several buildings in the watermill complex. One building was a gristmill and sawmill, while another functioned as oil mill and fulling mill. The mill operated two undershot water wheels, including the largest water wheel in the Netherlands. The gristmill is still in functioning order and is used on a small scale, the building of the former oil and fulling mill now houses a restaurant.  A tannery was located in a building in the back and up to 1910 an inn was located in the miller's house. Vincent van Gogh lived nearby and made several paintings while in the area, including a painting of the mill in 1884. The watermill was listed as a national monument in 1972.

History

The gristmill was built in the early 11th century along the river Kleine Dommel, by monks of a Benedictine monastery in Sint-Truiden, Belgium. In the 14th century the mill was owned by the lords and ladies of the heerlijkheid Cuijk and Mierlo, and was a banmolen (nl), meaning peasants in the locality were obligated to use this mill to grind their wheat.

In 1664 the mill partially burned down. It was rebuilt and, in order to recover from the losses, the miller did not have to pay taxes for the next 15 years. In 1764 another fire destroyed the entire mill, according to an ordenance from the States General after the miller requested assistance. The mill was rebuilt with the addition of a second water wheel. The larger building was a gristmill and the smaller building an oil mill. In 1909 a sawmill was added to the larger building, and for a period the smaller building also acted as a fulling mill.

A plaque placed on the miller's house in 1973 to celebrate the 100th birthday of miller Gerardus van Hoorn commemorates both fires. Van Hoorn had known the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, who lived in nearby Nuenen from 1883 until 1885. Van Gogh painted several paintings around the mill, including an 1884 painting of the mill itself, Water Mill at Opwetten (F48). In a video interview in 1973, Van Hoorn said that he had seen Van Gogh paint and had supplied him with bird nests for his paintings.

The mill has had several names and during the first centuries it was known as the Saint Anthony Mill (Dutch: St. Antoniusmolen), named after a nearby chapel dedicated to saint Anthony the Great. From 1726 until it came into the possession of Gerardus van Hoorn in 1916, the mill was known as Jan's Mill (Dutch: Jansmolen).

Description

The Watermill at Opwetten is situated along the river Kleine Dommel. Diverted river water flows along a channel with force to drive two wooden undershot water wheels, connected to two buildings on either side of the channel.

The buildings are made of painted wood on a brick foundation, with tiled roofs, and an extruding hatch covering the main entrance of the higher building. The gristmill, originally used to grind spelt, later ground bread wheat, and then a sawmill was added. It has a water wheel of  in diameter, consisting of 44 paddles of  width, which makes it the largest water wheel in the Netherlands. The gristmill is still in functioning order, and uses a pair of Cullen millstones from Mayen ("Cullen" for "Cologne", where such millstones were marketed from), and a pair of cast millstones, both 17 hands in diameter or . Only some remainders are left of the sawmill, including one of only two watermill circular saws in the Netherlands. Inside the larger mill is a room for the assistants of the miller, where the names of millers and their assistants have been carved in the wood.

The oil mill and fulling mill used a water wheel of  in diameter and used 30 paddles with a width of . The oil mill was used to crush and press oil-bearing seeds to extract vegetable oils, and the fullingmill kneaded wool for hours or days in order to make it thicker. Both structures are completely gone, and only two edge stones posted outside remind of its former function as oil mill. It currently houses a restaurant.

Modern day
The mill was listed as a national monument (nr 30830) on 14 June 1972. The grounds are freely accessible. The gristmill is operated and open to the public on Sunday afternoon, and the restaurant is open every day of the week except on Mondays. The mill is located on the Opwettenseweg 203 in Nuenen, Gerwen en Nederwetten, in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands. The next mill upstream is the Collse Watermolen on the Kleine Dommel. The next mill downstream is the Hooidonkse Watermolen on the Dommel.

In 2011, a full-size replica of the mill was built at the Binjiang Park in Nanjing, China. Together with replicas of three other Dutch monuments, it is part of the 'Van Gogh Friendship Park', in honour of the relationships between the sister cities of Eindhoven and Nanjing, and the sister provinces of North Brabant and Jiangsu. The mayor of Nanjing, Ji Jianye, visited the Watermill at Opwetten in 2012, during his visit to Eindhoven.

title: Stereo (Anna Abreu song)

text:
"Stereo" is a song by Finnish singer Anna Abreu from her fourth studio album, Rush (2011). It was co-written by Bryn Christopher, Jukka Immonen (who also produced the track) and Ali Tennant. "Stereo" is a Pop song with Dance elements and was released on 25 August 2011 in Finland, as the album's third single.

Lyrical content
"Stereo" is an up-tempo song about the anger and hurt faced at the end of a relationship, and the difficulty presented by the need to move on. This idea is presented through the stereo which 'don't play love songs at all', reflecting the common practice of refusing or being unable to listen to love songs after the end of a long-term relationship because it causes emotional pain. The song also references the universal cliche of one partner saying that they can remain friends, with Abreu angrily singing 'I don't wanna be your friend' before stating 'but baby don't let me go', reflecting the difficulty with accepting the end of the relationship.

Chart performance
"Stereo" peaked at number twenty-four on the Finnish Download Chart. The song also enjoyed heavy airplay and peaked at number two on the Radio Airplay Chart, becoming Abreu's sixth top five hit on that chart.

Music video
The music video for "Stereo" was directed by Jaakko Itäaho and filmed in and around Raseborg Castle. The snow-capped mountains in the background do not exist in real life and were achieved via CGI. The video depicts Abreu as a young woman going to become a nun in a convent which is located at the castle. During the video, Abreu changes into a nun's habit and the other nuns act as her backing dancers. At night, Abreu is seduced by another young nun and the two escape from the convent by climbing out of one of the windows.

Live performances
"Stereo" was performed as part of Abreu's setlist when she supported Enrique Iglesias during his Euphoria Tour in April 2011. Abreu was the support act during the April 6 date at Turku's HK Arean and Helsinki's Hartwall Arena. In February 2012, Abreu performed "Stereo" live on the televised Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu final, when Finland searched for a participant for the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest. It has since become her fifth most performed song when on tour.

title: A Gilded Eternity

text:
A Gilded Eternity is the third studio album by the rock band Loop. Released in 1990 on Situation Two, it was a commercial success, topping the UK Indie Charts (as their previous album Fade Out had done) and reaching #39 on the official UK album charts.

Music
By A Gilded Eternity, Loop "had mostly excised the 1960s Technicolor psychedelia that had defined their debut, Heaven's End, leaving only a molten orange lava of layered space rock that was entirely all their own", according to Brainwashed's Creaig Dunton. NME journalist Chris Parkin called A Gilded Eternity "primal and loud, with sharp, nasty edges that nod towards the precise machine-rock of Can and Sonic Youth's maniacal guitar wailings". Julian Marszalek of The Quietus found that the album nonetheless demonstrated that "there was far more to Loop than bludgeoning riffs and cranking up the gain control", describing it as "a collection of hypnotic mantras, tracks that used repetition deliberately and methodically to induce a trance-like state."

Critical reception

In a contemporary review for NME, Edwin Pouncey commented that "Loop hammer out a magnificent hypno-beat", characterising A Gilded Eternity as "acid house-style free form rock" suitable "for dancing to as well as listening intently to". Simon Reynolds was less impressed in Melody Maker, declaring the album "a disappointment" and "more of the same" from Loop, "only less so."

Head Heritage reviewer Fwump Bungle wrote in retrospect that A Gilded Eternity showed Loop "at their highest point" with a more rock-oriented sound that distinguished the band's music from that of the shoegaze movement.

Track listing
The original LP release (SITU 27) consisted of two 12" discs, played at 45rpm:

The original CD release (SITU 27 CD) contained ten tracks:

title: Sophie Volland

text:
Louise-Henriette Volland, known as Sophie Volland (1716-1784), was a correspondent and lover of Denis Diderot. None of the letters she wrote have survived.

Biography
Louise-Henriette Volland was born November 27, 1716. She met Diderot in the spring of 1755. Diderot soon gave her the sobriquet of "Sophie", after the Greek word meaning "wisdom", because he valued her insights so much as a friend and a frequent correspondent. Their affair lasted from 1755 until her death in 1784.

Sophie was regularly informed by Diderot about events, artists, and writers of the time. She was a confidante for the philosophe to whom he could talk in detail about his work, his collaborations, and his private affairs. He also trusted her advice and sought consolation from her. She was unmarried and had a difficult relationship with her mother, with whom she had to reside in Isle for six months of every year away from Diderot, though she would have preferred to live in Paris and be near him at all times. The frequent letters that Diderot sent to Sophie give indications about his private life, his knowledge, and his thoughts on politics, art, art critics, and the intellectuals of his era. This correspondence is considered an important part of his work. He numbered all his letters to her, in an attempt ensure they could be read and understood in order due to the unreliable delivery methods he had to use in conveying them to her. Only 187 out of 553 letters that Diderot wrote to Sophie are now extant.

None of Sophie's letters to Diderot have ever been found and no portrait of Sophie has survived. The only concrete details known about her are that she wore glasses, was often in poor health, and had la menotte sèche (small, dry hands) but that she was apparently very intellectually curious and capable, studying both science and philosophy, for which Diderot admired her very much. She died on February 22, 1784, and Diderot only survived her by five months.
