title: Okanagan Regional Library

text:
The Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) system serves the Okanagan region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. Its administrative headquarters are in Kelowna.  The system covers 59,000 square kilometers of area, and serves 360,000 people through 30 branches. ORL was founded in 1936. In 2013, the library held 3.2 million physical items.  The library is largely funded through tax revenues from four administrative areas, the Regional District of North Okanagan, the Regional District of Central Okanagan, the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, and the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen. It also receives funding from the provincial and federal governments.

In November 2018, the ORL collaborated with the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) to open an on-campus branch to serve the UBCO community.

In 2019 the first Makerspace was added to the ORL system at the Westside Learning Lab. Soon after a makerspace in the Downtown Kelowna, Vernon, Lumby, Golden, and Revelstoke library branches. Makerspaces are equipped with maker technologies including: 3D printers, recording studios, Cricut Makers, Glowforge laser cutters, and sublimation printers and heat presses.

Patrons of the library are also able to borrow more than books. The ORL has a Library of Things (LoT) that houses different kits and technologies that are abled to be checked out for a period of time. Different kits in the LoT include: outdoor activity kits, Snap Circuits, birding backpacks, Sphero Bolt, Ozobot Evo, Code and Go Robot Mouse, Microscope, Home Energy thermal camera, radon detector, and carbon dioxide monitor.

The Westbank Branch has a active writers group: Westbank Writers' Group. Members meet weekly to share and discuss their writings.

History
In 1935, residents of the Okanagan participated in a referendum to decide whether to start a library system in the valley. After a majority voted "yes", the first Kelowna library, then called the Okanagan Union Library, was constructed. The original collection was 18,000 items, and served a population of about 25,000.

title: Untapable

text:
Untapable (foaled 13 February 2011) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. She showed promise as a two-year-old in 2013 when she won two of her four races including the Pocahontas Stakes and was placed in the Starlet Stakes. In 2014 she emerged as a top-class racehorse, winning the Rachel Alexandra Stakes, Fair Grounds Oaks, Kentucky Oaks, Mother Goose Stakes, Cotillion Handicap and Breeders' Cup Distaff and was named American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly.

Background
Untapable is a bay filly with a white blaze and three white leg markings bred in Kentucky by Winchell Thoroughbreds. She was sired by Tapit, a gray son of Pulpit, who won the Wood Memorial Stakes and started second favorite for the 2004 Kentucky Derby. Tapit has become a successful breeding stallion with  other progeny including Tonalist, Hansen, Stardom Bound, Tapitsfly (Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf) and Tapizar (Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile). Untapable's dam Fun House was a successful racemare who won five races including the Grade II Buena Vista Handicap. Fun House's dam Bistra was a half-sister to the Hollywood Derby winner Olympio.

Untapable is trained by Steve Asmussen and has been ridden in most of her races by Rosie Napravnik.

Racing career

2013: two-year-old season
Untapable began her racing career at Churchill Downs. In a maiden race on June 20, 2013, she took the lead soon after the start and won by a length from Harlan's Special. In September, Untapable was moved up in class and distance for the Grade II Pocahontas Stakes over eight and a half furlongs and finished strongly to win by half a length from tonetastic at odds of 5.8/1. On November 2, Untapable started the 11/2 fourth choice in the betting for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita Park. She appeared beaten when hampered by the fall of Secret Compass and came home eighth of the nine finishers behind the subsequently disqualified She's a Tiger. Joseph Talamo took over the ride from Napravnik when Untapable ran in the Starlet Stakes at Hollywood Park Racetrack on December 7 when the filly finished third behind Streaming and Taste Like Candy.

2014: three-year-old season
Untapable began her three-year-old season at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana. On February 22 in the Grade III Rachel Alexandra Stakes over nine furlongs she started third favorite behind Ria Antonia and Got Lucky. She raced on the outside before moving up to take the lead in the straight and won very easily by nine and a half lengths from Got Lucky. After the race Asmussen said "The filly acted extremely well today...we just think she's a better mare than she was last year, and she showed it today" whilst Napravnik commented "I had lots of confidence in her. It was a wide trip which just goes to show you how much the best she was". Five weeks later she started 1/2 favorite for the Grade II Fair Grounds Oaks over eight and a half furlongs. She took the lead a quarter of a mile from the finish and drew away in the closing stages to win by seven and three quarter lengths from Fiftyshadesofgold. Asmussen said "She has grown up a lot, and she has great composure... and she's fast. I like how she was handled by Rosie, how she relaxed, and she ran big, especially off such a fast effort in the Rachel Alexandra" whilst Napravnik admitted to being "very excited about her". On May 2, Untapable started favorite for the Kentucky Oaks over nine furlongs at Churchill Downs with her main opposition appearing to come from the Gazelle Stakes winner My Miss Sophia and the Ashland Stakes winner Rosalind. Drawn wide in stall 13, the filly settled in fourth place before moving up to take the lead from My Miss Sophia on the final turn. In the straight she went clear of her opponents before being eased in the closing stages to win by four and a half lengths. After the race, Napravnik commented "She was really great. She got into a great stride and relaxed. She is magnificent".

On June 28, Untapable started at odds of 1/20 for the Mother Goose Stakes over eight and a half furlongs at Belmont Park. After being hampered in the early stages, Untapable, ridden by John Velazquez moved up to take the lead on the final turn and pulled clear to win by nine and a quarter lengths from Princess Violet. Untapable's connections opted to race her against colts in her next race, hoping she could become the third filly, after Serena's Song and Rachel Alexandra to win the Haskell Invitational over nine furlongs at Monmouth Park. Racing on the outside of the field, Untapable (the 7/5 favorite) made some progress approaching the straight but never threatened the wire–to–wire winner Bayern and finished fifth, beaten more than nine lengths. Napravnik reported that "the horse next to us (Social Inclusion) acted up in the gate, so she got a little fussy and didn't get away well. We had the widest trip of everybody; she ran a hell of a race and ran as hard as she could".

Untapable returned to competing against her own sex in the Cotillion Stakes over eight and a half furlongs at Parx on September 20 in which she was expected to be matched against Stopchargingmaria the winner of the Alabama Stakes and the CCA Oaks. The race lost some of its interest when Stopchargingmaria was scratched. Napravnik tracked the leaders Jojo Warrior and Cassatt before sending the 1/2 favorite into the lead approaching the final furlong. Untapable held off the late challenge of Sweet Reason and won by a length in a time of 1:42.30. Untapable took on older fillies and mares for the first time in the Breeders' Cup Distaff at Santa Anita on October 31 and started 8/5 favorite. Her biggest danger appeared to be the five-time Grade I winner Close Hatches while her other rivals included Belle Gallantey (Beldame Stakes), Iotapa (Vanity Handicap) and Don't Tell Sophia (Spinster Stakes). Forced to race on the outside she made rapid progress on the final turn before taking the lead from Iotapa entering the straight. She stayed on strongly to win by one and a quarter lengths from Don't Tell Sophia, who finished a nose in front of Iotapa.  Asmussen said "I can't say enough about her and how proud I am of her. She's an amazing mare to put us on this stage and to perform like she did. Rosie and she are a great combination and they have had a tremendous season. Today, definitely makes her a champion and that's enough said. She's had a great year and she's a great filly."  After the win, Napravnik announced that she was seven weeks pregnant and would be taking a "retirement" of "indefinite" duration.

2015: four-year-old season
On January 17, 2015, Untapable won the Eclipse Award for American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly by a unanimous vote.

Rebounding from her March 14, 2015 debut loss in the Azeri Stakes, Untapable took the Grade I Apple Blossom Handicap on April 10. The winner of the Azeri, Gold Metal Dancer, placed. For the rest of the year Untapable ran consistently without recovering her best form and posted a string of placed efforts in major distaff races. She finished second to Wedding Toast in the Ogden Phipps Stakes, second to Stopchargingmaria in the Shuvee Handicap, third to Sheer Drama in the Personal Ensign Stakes and second to Got Lucky in the Spinster Stakes. It was expected that she would attempt to defend her Breeders' Cup Distaff title but was scratched three days before the race after she was found to be running an abnormally high temperature.

2016: five-year-old season
Untapable made her seasonal debut in the Azeri Stakes for the second year in succession and as in 2015 she was beaten at odds-on, going down by a neck to Call Pat. She failed to recover her form in her two remaining races, despite starting odds-on on both occasions: she finished fourth in the Apple Blossom Handicap in April and fourth in the Grade III Fleur de Lis Handicap on 18 June at Churchill Downs. On June 19, 2016, it was announced Untapable had been retired from racing.

title: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Thailand

text:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) () in Thailand was officially established in 1966 when it was dedicated for missionary work by Gordon B. Hinckley. A previous attempt at missionary work was made in 1854 when Brigham Young sent four missionaries to Thailand (Siam at the time). The only missionary to arrive was Elam Luddington whose only baptisms during his four-month service in Thailand were a non-Thai ship captain and his wife on April 9, 1854. The first known baptism of a native in Thailand was for Nangnoi Thitapoora on September 11, 1966. The Book of Mormon was translated twice. The first translation, which took about six years, was completed in 1976 by Srilaksana Suntarahut. A new translation was completed in 2010.

Missionary work was challenging in the 1970s and 1980s because of restrictions from the Thai immigration that prohibited more than 100 missionaries in Thailand at a time and required that missionaries leave the country every 90 days to renew their visas. Baptisms grew after 1992, when the law was repealed and missionaries were required to renew their visas only one time during their two-year service. The Thailand Bangkok mission was established on July 19, 1973 with Paul D. Morris and the first stake in Thailand was organized on June 19, 1995 by Neal A. Maxwell. In April 2015, Thomas S. Monson announced plans to build the first temple in Thailand in Bangkok; this project is expected to be completed in the next three to four years.

As of 2022, the LDS Church reported 23,450 members and one mission in Thailand. The Bangkok Thailand Temple, Thailand's first, is scheduled to be dedicated on 22 October 2023.

History

Beginnings
In the early 1850s, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young, sent four missionaries to serve in Siam (Thailand). Upon arriving in Calcutta, India in 1853, only two of the four missionaries remained assigned to serve in Siam as a result of challenges due to the war between the Burmese government and the East India Trading Company. Elam Luddington and Levi Savage attempted to sail to Siam from Burma, but were forced to return to India when their ship encountered problems. They arrived in Burma in August 1853. Because Savage was too ill to go to Siam, Luddington arrived in Siam alone on April 6, 1854. Luddington's only baptisms were the ship captain, James Trail and his wife, three days after his arrival. Luddington would spend a little over four months in Siam, working only with European residents as he was unable to speak Thai. During his service, Luddington was stoned twice and poisoned once. Luddington returned to San Francisco on June 27, 1855 due to his lack of success and the language barrier.

Missionary efforts
The influence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was largely absent from Thailand for about a century. Church members in the 1950s and early 1960s held informal church services before they were given official authorization to hold church meetings in Bangkok in 1961. Some small congregations of United States servicemen were established on some United States Air Force bases during the Vietnam War. In 1962, president of the South Far East Mission Robert S. Taylor organized the first official congregation of church members. LDS military servicemen added numbers to the group during the war. In 1973 and 1974, Gordon B. Hinckley traveled to Thailand to inquire as to whether the country was prepared for proselyting. A Mutual Improvement Association was organized in September 1964, meeting in a private restaurant after having outgrown the living room of a home. The first non-Thai person baptized in Thailand since 1854 was a serviceman named Jim McElvee. He was baptized on January 21, 1966.

On March 27, 1966, Keith E. Garner organized the Thailand District of the Southern Far East Mission with Stirling Merrill as president. The congregation in Bangkok had over 200 members by July 1966, so the Bangkok Branch (the first in the country) was organized with Gordon M. Flammer as Branch President. The country was officially dedicated for missionary work by Gordon B. Hinckley on November 2, 1966 in Lumphini Park. The mission became a part of the Southern Far East Mission, presided over by Keith B. Garner. Hinckely found property for $77,000 for a chapel, which was purchased in 1967. Due to struggles receiving Thai government approval, it wasn't until February 2, 1968 that missionaries were allowed to enter the country. Six missionaries from Taiwan and Hong Kong were transferred to Bangkok. They were Peter Basker, Craig Christensen, Alan Hess, Carl Hanson, Larry White, and Robert Winegar. Soon thereafter, the missionaries began an intensive three week language program at the American University Alumni School and had the missionary lessons translated into Thai by a translator. Full-time proselyting began on March 6, 1968 and the first missionary lesson was held in the Thai language on March 17 with the help of Anan Eldredge. Boonepluke and Rabiab Klaophin, baptized on May 15, 1968, were the first converts by missionaries in Thailand.

President Garner of the Southern Far East Mission made the decision in June 1968 to send missionaries to Korat, the third largest city in Thailand. The influence of the Church grew quickly in Korat, with baptism services held monthly. W. Brent Hardy replaced Garner as president of the Southern Far East Mission in July 1968. Re-translations of the missionary lessons were initiated, but this was difficult because the hired translators were unfamiliar with LDS terminology and the Thai language doesn't have equivalent words for Christian subjects. In December 1968, Ezra Taft Benson, then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, attended a quarterly district conference in Bangkok. There, he had the opportunity to meet King Rama IX of Thailand. Benson personally presented the King with a Thai Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith's Testimony, and a copy of Meet the Mormons. By the end of 1968, there were eight missionaries working in Thailand. In 1969, the numbers had grown to twenty-five missionaries. For a short period of time beginning in 1969, Thailand become a part of the Southeast Asian Mission with G. Carlos Smith Jr. as president, allowing more time to be focused on Thailand as a mission country, allowing missionary work to move faster. Construction began on the Asoke Chapel, on the property that was purchased in 1967, in 1970, mostly funded by LDS servicemen stationed in Thailand. After a slow construction process, in August 1974, the first Latter-day Saint chapel was dedicated in Bangkok. In 1970, missionaries were sent to Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen with twelve other cities opening up for missionary work in the six years that followed. Smith created a missionary basketball program in 1969 to increase visibility of the Church in the surrounding areas. The team played in tournaments and received much publicity. In August, Music and the Spoken Word from Salt Lake City was aired over Thai radio in Korat and an open house program was initiated in Chiang Mai. The general missionary approach at the time was to introduce non-members to the LDS church in a casual and non-threatening manner.

In order for missionaries in Thailand to have closer supervision, the Thailand Mission was created with Paul D. Morris as president on July 19, 1973. The name was changed to the Thailand Bangkok Mission on June 20, 1974. Morris's experience with Asia and Asian culture allowed him to improve LDS-Thai relations, working to adapt teaching materials and pictures to the Thai culture. Morris initiated translation work of books and church manuals, strengthened local leadership, increased media attention of missionaries and members through the radio, and encouraged local members of the church to publish articles about the Church in local newspapers. During his presidency, women missionaries were sent to Thailand, in part to help with welfare services. During President Morris' tenure, a missionary singing group called Sidthichon Yuk Sud Tai ("the Latter-day Saints") was created in 1975.  They toured the country, performing in front of thousands, blending Western and Thai sounds. They performed on television in Bangkok and received good reviews, increasing interest in the LDS Church.

Beginning some time after 1972, immigration requirements for foreign LDS missionaries

Harvey D. Brown became the second president of the Thailand Bangkok Mission in August 1976. His presidency focused on building and re-building the image of the church in Thailand.  The "Sidtichon Yuk Sud Tai" group continued to perform, raising money for charities and programs such as the Thai International Red Cross, Bangkok Teachers College, hospitals, and a drug rehabilitation program. They received an invitation to perform for the King's charity event, meeting the King and Queen afterwards. During its more than four year long existence, the group appeared on TV 70 times, recorded five albums, performed for royalty three times, and did 500 live performances for over one million people in all of Thailand's major cities. After the visa problems improved and the Church was viewed more positively, the group was disbanded by Brown in July 1979, having fulfilled its intended purpose.

At the end of 1976, 170 missionaries were serving in Thailand; however, government pressured required the missionary count to drop to 125 missionaries. By 1985, less than 100 missionaries served in Thailand. This policy was changed in 1992. In 1980, Marion D Hanks became the Executive Administrator over Southeast Asia. He created a refugee mission that took care of refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from the Vietnam War in Thailand and also preached to them for ten years. In 1988, Anan Eldrege was the first Thai to preside over the Thailand Bangkok Mission. He initiated the first temple excursions to the Philippines.

First Thai church members
The first Thai convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was Nangnoi Thitapoora who was baptized on September 11, 1966. The first Thai male convert was Anan Eldredge, who was baptized on December 24, 1967. The surname Eldredge comes from the surname of a Latter-day Saint family working in Thailand who offered to adopt him so he could attend college in the United States. Anan was a great help to the missionaries working in Thailand after his baptism, helping them with the language and translation of church materials. Anan Eldredge became the first Thai to serve a full-time mission. Eldredge attended college in California and met and married a Latter-day Saint woman from England. Eldredge helped work on the revised translation of the Book of Mormon into Thai, and helped with the translations and publishing of the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price into Thai. In 1988, Anan Eldredge became the first Thai president of the Thailand Bangkok Mission, influencing a steady increase in church membership during his service.

Translation of the Book of Mormon

The first translation of the Book of Mormon was principally done by Srilaksana Suntarahut. Her father was the doctor for the monarchs Vajiravudh and Indrasakdi Sachi. Srilanksana was adopted by the Queen and spent her childhood living in the palace where she received an exceptional education. After Srilaksana met the missionaries, she was baptized on July 4, 1968 with two of her daughters. The church originally intended to use a professional translator, but felt that it would be better if the translator was knowledgeable about the Book of Mormon and the Church. Regardless, a paid translator was chosen and along with help from a committee of Thai church members including Srilaksana. The Book of Mormon began to be translated in 1970. Srilaksana struggled with severe health problems during the translation process. After Prayun, the professional translator's contract was finished, Srilaksana became the principal translator of the Book of Mormon at the beginning of 1971. She did not receive payment for her work until the Thailand Bangkok mission was formed in 1973. She would review and correct the previous translation and the translation committee, largely consisting of missionaries, would make sure the doctrinal concepts were correct. Specific challenges in translation included issues surrounding "word for word" translation requirements and the difficulty in choosing translations for Western Christian words that did not exist in Thai such as "priesthood". After reviewing and revising, the Book of Mormon translation into Thai was complete in August 1975 and the first copies were printed in October 1976. A re-translation was completed in 2010.

Recent developments

In 1987, three more church buildings were dedicated in Bang Na, Thonburi, and Chiang Mai. After the repeal of the restrictive visa laws, missionary work increased throughout Thailand as more mission areas were opened. In 1993, more than four hundred baptisms were performed, resulting in four districts and twenty-five branches in Thailand. There were eleven chapels and more being constructed as church membership rose to six thousand. After Troy L. Corriveau became mission president, the Thailand Stake was organized on June 18, 1995 by Neal A. Maxwell, containing five wards, three branches, and 2,260 members. Pornchai Juntratip became the first patriarch in Thailand. The Bangkok North Stake was created on June 15, 2014 by Gerrit W. Gong. In 2013, there were approximately 650 baptisms and by the middle of 2014, there were over 1,000 baptisms performed. During his global ministry tour, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Russell M. Nelson and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles Jeffrey R. Holland, gathered with and spoke to church members in Thailand on April 20, 2018. Church leaders estimated that this was the largest gathering of Latter-day Saints in the history of Thailand.

Obstacles to missionary work
According to R. Lanier Britsch, Thai people are very devoted to their country, king, traditions, and religion, particularly Buddhism. According to the Government's National Statistics Office, Theravada Buddhism makes up about 94 percent of practiced religions in Thailand. Islam and Chinese religions make up the second and third most practiced religions in Thailand. Despite the fact that Roman Catholics have proselyted in Thailand for 400 years and Protestants have proselyted for 160 years, Christianity makes up less than one percent of the practiced religions in Thailand. Although the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not recognized by the Thai government as an official religion, practice is allowed freely. According to historian Spencer J. Palmer, Thai people are exceptionally tolerant of religion, to the point where it is difficult to perform successful missionary work, because it is challenging to impose just one set of beliefs upon the people. Furthermore, religion and country are intricately and closely related in a way that becoming anti-Buddhist means becoming anti-Thai in many cases. Thus, few are willing to give up their country, family and traditions to convert other religions including Christianity. Despite the usual language and cultural barriers that pose challenges to Christian missionary work in Asian countries, there is a specific lack of success in Thailand as compared to other Asian countries even ones in where they are predominantly Buddhist. According to Erik Cohen, there are three reasons why Christian converts are difficult to find in Thailand. Firstly, there are fundamental differences in the views of Christianity and of Buddhism. Second, Buddhism permeates almost every aspect of life in Thailand and the individual identity of a Thai person. Finally, the attitudes of Catholic and Protestant missionaries in the earlier history of Thailand were often judgmental and inflexible.

In 1972, a group of missionaries traveled to Sukhothai, the ancient capital of Thailand. One of the missionaries climbed on an ancient Buddha relic, sitting on its shoulders and had his photo taken by another missionary. A photo shop employee noticed the photo and sent it to the Siam Rath on July 9, 1972. Other newspapers included the image, causing it to spread. The Thai people felt that the elders disrespected Buddhism and Thailand. Thai Christians separated themselves from the Latter-day Saint Church, some writing articles against the LDS Church. The missionaries were arrested on July 12, 1972 and were found guilty of desecrating a Buddhist image and insulting the Buddhist religion. They were sentenced to a maximum six months in jail, for which they served the full-time. After their release, they were deported from Thailand. This event was widely publicized. Due to this event, Nakhon Sawan was closed as a missionary area and baptisms dropped throughout Thailand. Following this incident, relations with the immigration office in Thailand became challenging. Foreign missionaries were only allowed to obtain 30-day non-immigrant visas.  Through a process of extensions and requests for permanent visas (which were always denied), foreign missionaries could legally stay in Thailand for about 90 days, but then had to leave the country and re-enter on a new 30-day non-immigrant visa.  From 1972 until mid-1975, missionaries traveled from Bangkok to Cambodia on Cambodian visas, then immediately returned to Thailand on new 30-day non-immigrant visas, which could again be extended to about 90 days.  Once the Cambodian border closed in mid-1975, foreign missionaries in Thailand traveled to Laos for visa renewal.  When the Laotian border was later closed, foreign missionaries were forced to make expensive and long journeys to Malaysia for visa renewal. After Anand Panyarachun was reinstated as Prime Minister of Thailand, a new visa category was created which allowed foreign missionaries to stay in Thailand for the two-year mission and only required them to renew their visas one time during their time in Thailand. The last visa renewal trip to Malaysia was in August 1992.

The coup d'états of Thailand in 1991 and 1992 initiated violent demonstrations in Thai cities. Missionaries were told to stay away from demonstration areas. Larry R. White, the mission president at the time, warned missionaries to stay in their apartments; he also canceled a scheduled district meeting in Khon Kaen.

Stakes and Districts

All congregations in a district are considered branches, regardless of size (wards only exist in stakes). The Huahin Branch, Phuket Branch, and the Thailand Bangkok Mission Branch are not part of a Stake or District.  The Thailand Bangkok Mission Branch serves individuals and families not in proximity to a church meetinghouse.

Missions
The Thailand Bangkok Mission includes all of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar (Burma), although Thailand is the only country within the mission with meetinghouses. Individuals and families not in proximity to a meetinghouse are served by the Thailand Bangkok Mission Branch. The mission office for the Thailand Bangkok mission will be located adjacent to the Thailand Bangkok Temple once completed.

Temples
The intention to build the first temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Thailand was announced by Thomas S. Monson on April 5, 2015 during the Church's general conference. Currently, the closest temple to the church members in Thailand is 1,000 miles away in Hong Kong. According to the artistic rendering, the temple will be 44,405 square feet and six stories.  The temple was dedicated on 22 October 2023.

Chemould Prescott Road, founded (as Gallery Chemould), is the first contemporary art gallery in Mumbai, India.

Gallery
Chemould Prescott Road, a contemporary art gallery in India, was founded by Kekoo Gandhy and Khorshed Gandhy in 1963. Based in Mumbai (Bombay), in 2007 the gallery moved from the first floor of the Jehangir Art Gallery to Prescott Road.

Artists

Chemould has been instrumental in establishing the reputations of many now well-known Indian modern artists. MF Husain, Tyeb Mehta, and SH Raza, who emerged on the first wave of India's modernist and contemporary art movements, first exhibited with Chemould. Under the directorship of their daughter Shireen Gandhy since 1988, Chemould Prescott Road has expanded its roster of artists to represent those working in experimental work, and its exhibition program spans younger, mid-career, and senior artists. Chemould also hosted the first solo exhibition of the late Bhupen Khakhar,  Ram Kumar, Nalini Malani, Atul Dodiya, Anju Dodiya, Jitish Kallat, Reena Saini Kallat, KH Ara, Bal Chhabda, Krishen Khanna, Jehangir Sabavala, Gaitonde, KK Hebbar, Vivan Sundaram, and Jivya Soma Mashe all exhibited with Chemould. Targeting the young collector and the millennial, Shireen Gandhy conceptualized Modus Operandi in 2018.

Their current roster has 30 artists which also include artists like Aditi Singh, Anant Joshi, Anju Dodiya, Atul Dodiya, Archana Hande, Bhuvanesh Gowda, Bijoy Jain, Desmond Lazaro, Dhruvi Acharya, Gigi Scaria, Jitish Kallat, Lavanya Mani, Madhavi Subrahmanian, Meera Devidayal, Mehlli Gobhai, Mithu Sen, N S Harsha, Nilima Sheikh, Pushpamala N, Rashid Rana, Reena Kallat, Ritesh Meshram, Sheetal Gattani, Shakuntala Kulkarni, Shilpa Gupta, Tallur L N, Tanuja Rane, Varunika Saraf, Vivan Sundaram, and Yardena Kurulkar.

Kekee Manzil: The House of Art
A film on the life of its founders Kekoo Gandhy and his wife Khorshed Gandhy, Kekee Manzil: The House of Art, was made by Behroze Gandhy, their second daughter. Kekee Manzil is the name of a villa/bungalow/mansion, built in 1921, and named after Kekoo Gandhy, by his father, at the end of Bandras Bandstand Promenade, right next to Shah Rukh Khans Mannat bungalow.

title: Solca (Karviná)

text:
Solca (, ) is an abandoned village within the municipal territory of the city of Karviná in the Moravian-Silesian Region in the Czech Republic.

History
Solca was one of the oldest villages in Cieszyn Silesia. A document of Bishop of Wrocław issued on 23 May 1223 for Norbertine Sisters in Rybnik includes a following excerpt:

Except for Sale all the mentioned villages were lying in the vicinity of Rybnik, thus it is problematic to localise where the settlement was supposed to be. Some historians identify it with Solca. The village had already a church (ecclesia), undoubtedly one of the oldest in the region, perhaps built during the reign of Mieszko I Tanglefoot. Again the village was mentioned in 1229 in the document of Pope Gregory IX issued for Benedictine abbey in Tyniec as Sal, leaving no doubts to its localisation close to Orlová. The village with an inn was endowed to Orlová abbey founded in 1268, and attested in the associated document again as Sal. In the next centuries the name of the village evolved into Solec/Solca.

Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Opole and Racibórz and Castellany of Cieszyn, which was in 1290 formed in the process of feudal fragmentation of Poland into the Duchy of Teschen, and was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy. Before the end of Middle Ages ownership of the village had changed, first it became a propriety of the Cieszyn dukes, then of noble families. In 1570 it belonged to Jerzy Larisch from Lhota, the owner of Karviná. The Larisch family gradually enlarged their belongings, since 1730 administered as fideikomis.

After the discovery of black coal in Karviná in 1776, many miners and workers came and settled there. The village developed quickly since then. In 1873 a château was built there by the Larisch family. In the surrounding park, the family chapel and tomb were built. In 1894-1897 a Neo-Renaissance Saint Henry church was constructed. The Viennese architect Cerny, inspired by the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, planned the church for the growing community and the new building was able to house 4,000 worshippers.

According to the Austrian census of 1910 the village had 1,047 inhabitants, 1,021 of whom had permanent residence there. The census asked people for their native language, 819 (80.2%) were Polish-speaking and 165 (16.1%) were German-speaking. The most populous religious group were Roman Catholics with 930 (88.8%) followed by Protestants with 109 (10.4%).

After the World War I, fall of Austria-Hungary, Polish–Czechoslovak War and division of Cieszyn Silesia, Solca contained within Karviná became a part of Czechoslovakia. In October 1938 as a part of Trans-Olza it was annexed by Poland. After German invasion of Poland in 1939, the area became a part of Nazi Germany until 1945. After the war, the 1920 borders were restored.

Solca virtually disappeared, when the population moved to nearby towns and villages in the 1950s and 1960s, as Solca was extensively undermined due to the coal mining in the area. Communist authorities destroyed most of the buildings afterwards. The château was demolished in 1953, the church in 1960, the Larisch-Mönnich family tomb in 1985.

title: Bentley Collingwood Hilliam

text:
Bentley Collingwood Hilliam ( Smailes; 6 November 1890 – 19 December 1968), usually credited as B. C. Hilliam, was an English singer, songwriter and musician, and the first-named member of the comedy duo Mr. Flotsam and Mr. Jetsam (Mr. Jetsam was Malcolm McEachern).

Hilliam wrote most of the duo's songs, played the piano and sang in a "light, high tenor voice". The duo's only film appearance is in the prelude of the 1936 Tod Slaughter melodrama The Crimes of Stephen Hawke. He married Mona C Barrett-Lennard, his second wife, in December 1926 in Lambeth, London.

Hilliam also wrote music and lyrics, such as Ladies of Leamington, and was musical director, for the stage play Buddies, and starred in his own concert-party shows, Flotsam's Follies, whose cast included a young Tony Hancock.

Hilliam was born in Scarborough, North Yorkshire in 1890, as Bentley Collingwood Smailes. He began his career as an entertainer at local functions, under the name Lloyd Holland, and also attended the local boys' school Scarborough College from 1902 to 1906. Hilliam wrote a series of odes for the school magazine under the pseudonym Aimless, an anagram of Smailes. He later changed his name permanently from Smailes to Hilliam.

During World War I, he served as a Lieutenant in the Canadian Engineers.

In 1935 he appeared in court after his first wife attempted to have him declared bankrupt for failure to pay alimony. His address was given as residing at Cadnam, Hampshire, England, and formerly West Hill, Highgate, London. On 23 May 1935, a conditional order of discharge was made. The case continued, with an adjournment in October of that year, when his address was given as Robin Grove, West Hill.

He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 3 August 1959.

The participation of Slovenia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest first began at the twelfth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in  which took place in Marsa, Malta. Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO), a member organisation of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), were responsible for the selection process of their participation. Slovenia originally used an internal selection format for their participation at the 2014 contest. The first representative to participate for the nation at the 2014 contest was Ula Ložar with the song "Nisi sam (Your Light)", which finished in twelfth place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of twenty-nine points. Slovenia participated for a second time at the 2015 contest in Sofia, Bulgaria. This time, RTVSLO organised a children's spin-off of their Eurovision national final EMA to select their entry. Lina Kuduzović represented the nation with the song "Prva ljubezen". She finished in third place overall, achieving Slovenia's highest placing in both the adult and junior Eurovision Song Contest. Slovenia withdrew from the contest in 2016, citing that the decision was made based on changes to the contest rules by the EBU, although not specifying which rule changes influenced their decision to withdraw from the competition. Despite originally expressing an interest to return to the 2022 contest in Yerevan, Armenia, the plans did not flourish and Slovenia is yet to return to the event.

History

Participation
On 27 July 2014, it was speculated that Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO) was considering debuting in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014, having never participated before since the inception of the contest in 2003. This was later confirmed, with RTVSLO officially announcing their debut at the 2014 contest in Marsa, Malta on 19 August 2014. On 16 September 2014, the broadcaster announced that they had internally selected Ula Ložar to represent the country, with her song "Nisi sam (Your Light)", presented to the public on 5 October 2014. Despite being a bookmaker's favourite, Slovenia finished in twelfth position out of sixteen with twenty-nine points.

On 30 June 2015, RTVSLO confirmed that Slovenia would participate for a second time at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Sofia, Bulgaria. It was later revealed by the broadcaster that they would organise a national final in order to select both their entrant and song for the 2015 contest. Mini EMA was a spin-off of RTVSLO's national final for the adult Eurovision Song Contest EMA. The selection featured six performers over two semi-finals, with the final taking place on 4 October 2015. Lina Kuduzović was selected to represent the nation with "Prva ljubezen". At the contest, she finished in an impressive third place with 112 points. Slovenia placed third in public televoting and fourth with the professional juries. As of 2023, this remains Slovenia's highest placing in both the adult and junior Eurovision Song Contests.

Withdrawal
Despite the high placing in 2015, on 24 May 2016, RTVSLO withdrew from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The broadcaster cited dissatisfaction with rule changes introduced by the EBU, though not specifying the exact rule. The broadcaster did still screen the 2016 contest on TV SLO 2, with an audience of just 28,000, 105,000 less than the 2015 broadcast.

RTVSLO did not return to the contest in 2017 and did not broadcast the event for the first time since 2013. The broadcaster also opted not to return to the contest in 2018. On 9 June 2019, RTVSLO confirmed that they would be skipping the contest again in 2019, stating that the cost of participation was too high for the time slot of the contest. Previously, during Slovenia's participation span, the contest was broadcast during prime time, but was moved to an earlier time slot by the European Broadcasting Union. The broadcaster went on to decline participation in both the 2020 contest in Warsaw, Poland and the 2021 contest in Paris, France.

Potential return
On 25 May 2022, RTVSLO confirmed that they were aiming to return to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Yerevan, Armenia. Marusa Kobal, head of Slovenia's Eurovision delegation, stated that the broadcaster had renewed interest in participating and that they would announce their final decision about potential participation in Armenia in due course. However, on 29 May 2022, the broadcaster announced that they had ruled out a return to the 2022 contest, due to the show not being provided in the broadcaster's Program-Production plan for 2022. In September 2022, Vanjo Vardjan, editor-in-chief of entertainment program at RTVSLO, reaffirmed that Slovenia’s absence from the contest was due to the amount of participating nations and the time slot of the event, meaning that the broadcaster was not confident the contest can achieve high viewing share. On 9 December 2022, the steering group of the EBU revealed that they were engaging in discussions surrounding potentially reverting the Junior Eurovision Song Contest back to a prime-time broadcast slot in the future. With this being one of RTVSLO’s main reasons for withdrawing, a further possibility of a Slovene return in future editions remained positive. However, on 26 May 2023, RTVSLO confirmed that Slovenia would not return to the 2023 contest in Nice, France, yet again citing financial constraints given the scheduling of the contest on a Sunday afternoon.

Participation overview

Commentators and spokespersons
The Slovene broadcaster, RTV SLO, sent their own commentator to each contest in order to provide commentary in Slovene. Spokespersons were also chosen by the national broadcaster in order to announce the awarding points from Slovenia. The table below lists the details of each commentator and spokesperson since 2014.

title: Adjustment (psychology)

text:
In psychology, adjustment is the condition of a person who is able to adapt to changes in their physical, occupational, and social environment. In other words, adjustment refers to the behavioural process of balancing conflicting needs, or needs challenged by obstacles in the environment. Humans and animals regularly adjust to their environment. For example, when they are stimulated by their physiological state to seek food, they eat (if possible) to reduce their hunger and thus adjust to the hunger stimulus. Adjustment disorder occurs when there is an inability to make a normal adjustment to some need or stress in the environment.

Successful adjustment is crucial to having a high quality of life. Those who are unable to adjust well are more likely to have clinical anxiety or depression, as well as experience feelings of hopelessness, anhedonia, difficulty concentrating, sleeping problems and reckless behavior.

When evaluating adjustment it can be considered in two ways: adjustment as an achievement and adjustment as a process.

Adjustment as an achievement

This model addresses adjustment at a specific moment in time, considering an individual's adjustment to one challenge, not to all challenges they have faced. Successfully adjusting to one scenario can be independent of struggling to adjust to another, unrelated scenario. An example of this type of approach is observing a poor student beginning to study during recess because they do not have a home environment where they can effectively study. Beginning to study at another time would be considered adequately adjusting to this scenario, but does not consider the other ways it may impact their life (i.e.: inhibiting social interactions with peers.)

Adjustment as a process

The 'adjustment as a process' theory portrays that, since the moment we are born, humans are in a constant state of adjustment. Since we exist in a state of constant, oftentimes rapid change, it follows that we cannot break these changes down into separate, unrelated challenges. This method of consideration asserts there is no way to 'adjust successfully' because something will always be about to change and prompt further adjustment. This approach views all life events as inextricable from some form of adjustment.

Successful adjustment
Successful adjustment is also called being 'well adjusted' and is critical to mental health. Colloquially, being well-adjusted is defined as a person who "is reasonable and has good judgement...their behavior is not difficult or strange." It is important to remember that adjustment is a continuum, not a simple dichotomy; people can fluctuate and be adept at adjusting in different circumstances. In general, a person that is well-adjusted will have the following characteristics:
 An understanding of personal strengths and weaknesses and a tendency to play up strengths while limiting the appearance of weaknesses
 Personal respect and appreciation, a well-adjusted individual finds themselves to be inherently valuable
 Appropriate aspirations that require hard work and capitalizing on strengths without being too far out of reach and setting them up for failure
 Basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and sleep are consistently met, as well as a general feeling of security and positive self-esteem
 Positive attitude and a tendency to find the goodness in other people, objects and activities. A well-adjusted person will acknowledge others' weaknesses but not actively search for faults.
 Flexibility to respond to and accommodate for changes in the environment
 Ability to handle adverse circumstances: well-adjusted people are able to take negative life events in stride, they will be motivated to take action to remedy the problem rather than passively accept it
 A realistic perception of the world that allows for a healthy amount of distrust of others and encourages pragmatic thinking
 A feeling of ease within surrounding environments. A well-adjusted person feels comfortable in different aspects of their community such as home, school, work, neighborhood, religious organization, etc.
 A balanced life philosophy that accounts for and acknowledges the impact that the world has on an individual, as well as the impact an individual can have on the world
These more detailed characteristics listed above can be synthesized into these main criteria:
 ability to adequately function
 ability to perform adaptive tasks
 high positive affect and low negative affect
 general satisfaction in various life domains
 absence of debilitating psychological disorders
An individual that does not have these characteristics or is not consistently meeting the listed criteria could be diagnosed with an Adjustment disorder. If diagnosed, they would likely be treated with psychotherapy to help them develop these skills and abilities. Ways to encourage these healthy adjustment mechanisms may include:
 encouraging talking about and processing emotions
 understanding and offering support, especially during periods of transition
 reassuring them that they are normal and worthy of inclusion
 monitoring progress in different environments (i.e.: home and school)
 emphasizing decision making, especially starting out with simple, relatively inconsequential decisions (i.e.: what to eat for breakfast, what toy to play with)
 promoting participation in hobbies and activities that are enjoyable and play to their individual strengths

Examples of adjustment methods
Many methods used for adjustment are also defense mechanisms. Defense mechanisms can be either adaptive or maladaptive depending on the context and the use. In a 2003 study, researchers found that elementary school children that utilized appropriate defense mechanisms had higher performance in academic, social, conduct, and athletic domains.

Day Dreaming

 Daydreams are brief detachments from reality while awake. Episodes generally include fantasizing about hopes for the future and other pleasant thoughts.
 Adaptive example: daydreaming about positive social interactions could reduce social anxiety
 In a 2016 study, researchers studied 103 students as they transitioned to university. They found that those who day dreamed more frequently and whose day dreams had higher rates of positive characteristics and positive emotional outcomes were less likely to feel lonely by the end of the study. Participants' day dreams fostered feelings of connection and social inclusion during an anxiety ridden period. Findings from this study suggest that day dreaming can help individuals with socio-emotional adjustment.

Additional Examples

 Compensation: emphasizing a strength to diminish the appearance of a real or imagined weakness
 Adaptive example: developing strong interpersonal skills to compensate for difficulty with academics
 Intellectualization: focusing on the abstract side of something as opposed to the practical or emotional sides
 Adaptive example: researching a disease after being diagnosed rather than contemplating the life changing impact
 Rationalization: understanding the reasoning behind actions; often touted as "making excuses" but can be adaptive
 Adaptive example: knowing that you need to be stern and harsh to a friend in order to tell them the truth and help them improve
 Identification: associating oneself with another individual (often a friend or relative) that is extremely accomplished
 Adaptive example: associating with the success of sibling when you have helped them achieve a goal
 Projection: displacing personal feelings/opinions as those of another person (consciously or unconsciously)
 Adaptive example: mitigating personal guilt by saying a friend has anger issues rather than acknowledging your internal anger
