title: George Loraine Stampa

text:
George Loraine Stampa (29 November 1875 – 26 May 1951), also known as G. L. Stampa, was a British artist.  He contributed to Punch for over 50 years and was the illustrator for books written by A. P. Herbert, E. V. Lucas and Anthony Armstrong. He contributed to most of the illustrated weeklies, including The Bystander, The Humorist, The Sketch and The Tatler. Stampa exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters and the Royal Academy, and was a participant in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics.

Early life
George Loraine Stampa (born as Giorgio Stampa) was born in Istanbul on 29 November 1875, the son of Giorgio Domenico Stampa and Ann (née Heelis) who was the daughter of the Rector of Long Marton in England. Stampa's father, Giorgio Domenico Stampa, was also born in Istanbul but educated in England in Westmorland, under the Rev. William Shepherd at Long Marton, later joining the architectural practice of Edward Walters in Manchester where he worked on the design of the Manchester Free Trade Hall and other projects in that City.

Stampa's father was later architect to Sultan Abdul Hamid in the Ottoman Empire where he worked on the design of The British Embassy at Therapia, The Sultan's Palace in Istanbul, the palace of the Kedhive of Egypt and a number of Mosques.

Stampa's father had to leave the Ottoman Empire in 1878 following a political uprising and the young Stampa then lived in England with his mother's family at Battlebarrow House in Appleby, Westmorland. In Westmorland, he enjoyed fishing with his maternal cousin, Willy Heelis, and the landscape of Westmorland had a profound effect on him and his future career as an artist. Stampa's father became a British citizen in 1889, as did his children.

George Loraine Stampa was educated at Appleby Grammar School (where the father of George Washington was educated), Bedford Modern School, Heatherly's Art School (1892–93), and, as a contemporary of Heath Robinson and Lewis Baumer, the Royal Academy Schools (1893–95).  Stampa spoke Italian, French, Turkish and English.

Stampa family history

Stampa's family had an illustrious history. In the 8th century, his ancestor, Carlo Lanfranco D'Estampes, was seigneur of Dreux and Étampes in France. Carlo D'Estampes was made Governor of Milan by Charlemagne on the order that D'Estampes fight for control of Lombardy on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire. Carlo Lanfranco D'Estampes later established his family in Milan, Italianized his name to Stampa, and many of his descendants became successful in the Byzantine Empire.

The Aegean Island of Stampalia, renamed Astypalaia after World War II, was colonised by the family in the 14th century. At one point, the Stampa family also owned the island of Elba where Napoleon was first exiled in 1814.

One of Stampa's ancestors, Gaspara Stampa (1520-1554), was an esteemed poet during the Italian Renaissance.

Stampa’s work

Stampa first published in Punch in March 1894, at the request of F. C. Burnand, when the nineteen year old Stampa was still studying at Heatherley's Art School. Stampa's predilection for drawing London street urchins and mongrel dogs was in the same style as Charles Keene and Phil May.  He was a major contributor to Punch for 50 years, providing material to four editors including Sir Francis Burnand, Sir Owen Seaman, Mr. E. V. Knox and Mr Kenneth Bird. At the time of his last contribution in 1949, Stampa had contributed at least 2,500 drawings to Punch.

In addition to Punch, Stampa was an illustrator for most of the illustrated weeklies, including The Bystander, The Humorist, The Sketch and The Tatler.  He was an illustrator for all of Rudyard Kipling's dog stories.  Stampa was also a designer of posters for London Transport, and illustrator to the Punch theatre column, At the Play, signing some of his work as Harris Brooks. Ronald Searle took responsibility for the theatre column in 1949.

Stampa would regularly donate his drawings to charities including the Great Ormond Street Hospital, Middlesex Hospital, the Newspaper Press charities and the Rudyard Kipling Memorial Fund. He also contributed work after the explosion of the French battleship Liberté in Toulon. Stampa was commissioned to paint a cartoon, the size of a postage stamp, for Queen Mary's famous dolls' house. In 1916 he designed a card for the 19th (Western) Division of the British Expeditionary Force during World War I. His illustrations were included in books written by A. P. Herbert, E. V. Lucas and Anthony Armstrong.

Stampa's work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics. He exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters and the Royal Academy. Stampa's abiding interest in drawing animals led him to be a Life Member of London Zoo.

Personal life
Stampa's elder brother, Lelio Stampa (1873-1943), was a lecturer in Modern History at the University of Oxford. T. E. Lawrence was tutored by Lelio Stampa, and Lawrence would later give the Stampa family a suit of chainmail obtained during Lawrence's travels in Arabia.  The youngest of Stampa's brothers, Arturo, died of pneumonia in 1892.

Stampa was a first cousin of William Heelis, husband of Beatrix Potter. Stampa's brother, Lelio, was a witness at the wedding.

Stampa was a member of the Savage Club, having been elected by Leonard Raven-Hill, and would later serve on the board of trustees. He designed a menu for a dinner at the Savage Club on 21 January 1928 that was chaired by A. P. Herbert. Stampa was also a young attendee at the Langham Sketch Club in All Souls Place near Regent Street, London, and would later be its chairman in 1914. As a fan of cricket he would regularly attend matches at Lord's.

In 1906 Stampa married Ethel Crowther (d. 1946), eldest daughter of the late Clifford Crowther of Claygate.  In 1908 they had one son, Arthur L Stampa, who was the principal beneficiary of his father's will. Stampa died in London on 26 May 1951. John O'London's Weekly described him as:

'The most cheerful, contented and amiable inhabitants of what is called Bohemian London.  He never envies anyone and sincerely appreciates the work of his rivals. The consequence is that no man has a larger number of friends'.

Perhaps his best epitaph was written by his granddaughter, Flavia Stampa Gruss, in her book, The Last Bohemian:

'He was a man who cared deeply for England and things English.  Although given to nostalgia, G. L. S. was at home in the world of his life and times which, however Bohemian (of the gentler sort), remained one of 'an English sun under an English Heaven'.  Yet we should never forget that G. L. S. gained from his Italian forebears a special warmth and lightness of touch - the ragamuffins of Seven Dials were the blood brothers of those of Venice and Milan.  He was very much a man of his times, an honoured member of a family of ancient descent'.

title: The Boat Race 1999

text:
The 145th Boat Race took place on 3 April 1999. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames. Featuring the tallest rower in Boat Race history at that time, Cambridge won the race in the second-fastest time ever.  It was their seventh consecutive victory in the event.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie defeated Oxford's Isis in the fastest time ever, while Cambridge won the Women's Boat Race.

Background
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  First held in 1829, the race takes place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities and followed throughout the United Kingdom and broadcast worldwide.  Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1998 race by three lengths, with Cambridge leading overall with 75 victories to Oxford's 68 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).

The first Women's Boat Race took place in 1927, but did not become an annual fixture until the 1960s. Up until 2014, the contest was conducted as part of the Henley Boat Races, but as of the 2015 race, it is held on the River Thames, on the same day as the men's main and reserve races.  The reserve race, contested between Oxford's Isis boat and Cambridge's Goldie boat has been held since 1965.  It usually takes place on the Tideway, prior to the main Boat Race.

Andrew Lindsay was confident that the Oxford crew would be more motivated than their opponents: "our advantage over Cambridge is that we are hungry for the victory.  Everyone in the Oxford boat is driven to go and win this damn thing".  He was making his third and final appearance in the race having lost in both the 1997 and 1998 race.  His grandfather represented Cambridge in the 1930s, and his uncle, Alexander Lindsay, rowed for the losing Oxford crew in the 1959 race before triumphing the following year.   Cambridge boat club president and Canadian international rower Brad Crombie was also making his third Boat Race appearance, attempting to complete a hat-trick of victories.  Sean Bowden was the head coach of Oxford. His Cambridge counterpart, Robin Williams, suggested "it still feels like all or nothing to us.  The fear of defeat, the aim of trying to push the limits is motivation itself".  Just as he had done in the 1993 race, umpire Mark Evans introduced modifications to the starting procedure, suggesting that he would be content to hold the crews for up to ten seconds between issuing the "set" and "go" commands.  Cambridge's Williams remarked: "I'm happy as long as both crews abide by it", Bowden was nonplussed "Go is when you start races.  I'm happy."

The race was sponsored for the first time by Aberdeen Asset Management, and both crews were competing for the Aberdeen Asset Trophy. It was the fiftieth anniversary of the BBC's coverage of the event and over the preceding five years had secured an average audience in excess of six million.

Crews
The Oxford crew weighed-in at an average of 14 st 10 lb (93.2 kg),  more per rower than Cambridge.  Josh West, rowing at number four for Cambridge, became the tallest rower in Boat Race history at .  The Oxford crew comprised three Britons, three Americans, a Swede, a Canadian and a German, while Cambridge were represented by five Britons, two Americans, a German and a Canadian.  Three former Blues returned for Cambridge in Wallace, Crombie and Smith, while Oxford saw Humphreys and Lindsay return.  Vian Sharif, the Cambridge cox, became the tenth female to steer a Boat Race crew, and was the lightest competitor at the event since the 1986 race.

Race

Bookmakers could not initially separate the crews, offering odds on for either boat to win.  However, as the start of the race approached, Williams had suggested that he was worried by his crew's "inconsistency" and Oxford were declared favourites.  Cambridge won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station.  Despite being warned by the umpire, Cambridge were soon half-a-length ahead, and a second clear by the Mile Post.  The lead was extended to a length by Hammersmith Bridge and Sharif had steered her boat into a better angle of attack.  Pushing on, Cambridge were seven seconds up by Chiswick Steps and nine seconds at Barnes Railway Bridge.  They passed the finishing post  lengths ahead, with an eleven-second advantage over the Dark Blues.  The Light Blues finished in 16 minutes 41 seconds, a time only bettered once before, in 1998.  It was the first time since 1936 that Cambridge had secured seven consecutive victories.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie beat Oxford's Isis by  lengths, their ninth victory in ten years, and in a record time of 16 minutes 58 seconds which beat the fastest time recorded in 1996 and repeated in 1998.  Cambridge won the 51st Women's Boat Race by one length in a time of 6 minutes 1 second, their eighth consecutive victory.

Reaction
Oxford's Bowden was dumbstruck: "I'm really floored.  I just haven't got any answers until I talk to the crew." His number four, Toby Ayer admitted: "my impression is that they were quicker than us and that is a very hard thing to have to say."  Cambridge's Williams noted: "I thought it would be a bit more competitive than that."  Cambridge boat club president Crombie exclaimed "that's the most fun I've ever had rowing for Cambridge."

title: Justin Holland

text:
Justin Holland (July 26, 1819 – March 24, 1887) was an American classical guitarist, a music teacher, a community leader, a black man who worked with white people to help slaves on the Underground Railroad, and an activist for equal rights for African Americans.

Holland was known nationally, not only as a musician but also as a civil rights activist who worked in the same national circles as Frederick Douglass. His goal was to develop his personal growth, in order to stand as an example for others to see. As a teacher, he deliberately chose a "cautious and circumspect" bearing, keeping his relationships with students strictly professional. He chose work that was considered honorable and held high standards, and the professional respect that accompanied his position aided his civil rights goals.

A measure of his success in showcasing the admirable African American to the world came after he died, when he was given eulogies, by white people as well as African Americans, about his skill as a musician and his personal character.

Background
Holland grew up in Norfolk County, Virginia, the son of a farmer, Exum Holland. He showed talent for music while he was young, writing music to go with pre-existing lyrics, but there were few opportunities to hear music or learn to play where he lived. His chief opportunity was at church.

When he was 14 years old in 1833 his parents both died, and he left home for Boston. He then moved on to the nearby town of Chelsea, Massachusetts, staying there for several years.
In Boston he met Signor Mariano Perez, a Spanish musician and "clever performer on the guitar." Perez taught Holland to play guitar.  Another music teacher for Holland was Simon Knabel, a member of Ned Kendall's Brass Band. Knabel had some success arranging music. Holland also studied under William Schubert, also of Kendall's band. Schubert was a "brilliant performer on the guitar" and Holland made good progress on his instrument. Another teacher, a Scottishman named Pollock, taught him how to play the concert flute.

Being young and not living with parents, Holland had to work as a laborer to support himself while he learned his craft. The work was hard, the education took money, and he gave up sleep in order to have time to practice.

College and career
In 1841 (about age 20) he entered Oberlin College in northern Ohio. He stayed there for two years. Afterward, he traveled to Mexico in order to learn Spanish. He wanted to know more about Spanish guitar and the methods of Fernando Sor, Dionisio Aguado y García and others, and needed to be able to understand Spanish to read their works. Holland returned to Oberlin in 1845, married, and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, becoming "The first black professional in Cleveland."

Holland had at least two children. His daughter Clara Monteith Holland was an accomplished pianist and guitarist. Justin Minor Holland, Jr. also a guitarist, was a teacher, composer and the author of Method for the Guitar, published in 1888.

In Cleveland he gave guitar lessons and found a demand for his services. He settled then and devoted himself to teaching and arranging music for the guitar. He became known nationally for his arrangements, which were issued in collections of approximately 20 pieces, including Winter Evenings, Gems for the Guitar, Boquet of Melodies, and Flowers of Melody. He also arranged about 30 duos for two guitars and another 30 for guitar and violin.
It was his music method books that gave him his fame as "one of America's most influential guitar pedagogues." Holland taught with a conservative approach, looking to European guitar masters and their traditional techniques. His method books were Modern Method for the Guitar (1874) and Comprehensive Method for the Guitar (1876).

Civil rights
Holland was born to free black parents in Norfolk County, Virginia, in 1819. The area had adopted a liberal attitude toward African Americans, which had resulted in a large number being free. That attitude was changing, however, as the demand for labor for producing cotton grew stronger. Slavery was becoming based on the concept of racial inferiority, and the presence of successful, free African Americans contradicted this. Also, the presence of free Blacks showed slaves that freedom was possible.

Starting with himself, Holland would work all his life, working to better the conditions for African Americans. He attended a college, Oberlin College, at a time when very few African Americans could get a college education. He studied languages, learning Spanish, French, Italian and German. As an adult, between 1848 and 1854, he acted as an assistant secretary and member of council at National and State Negro Conventions. He was secretary of the "Colored Americans of Cleveland". He worked with the Underground Railroad.
He also worked toward establishing a free-black colony in South America, acting as secretary for the Central American Land Company.

In 1845 he moved to the Cleveland, Ohio, in the Western Reserve, where he worked on his dream of complete acceptance for African Americans by white Americans, with complete equality. Cleveland was another place where white people were sympathetic toward African Americans. He saw the area as a place that gave him the opportunity to work toward that goal. He consciously embraced education and assimilation as the best ways to overcome racial barriers and prejudices.  He looked to European culture as a source of admirable standards (and hoped that middle-class Americans around him would associate him with those standards as well.) He spoke of his own music in terms of European excellence, teaching the "correct system" to fret the strings on the guitar, as done by "the  best Masters of Europe." He also wrote a 324-page treatise on subjects of moral reform.

Not only working on himself, he tried to help other black people, assisting with the Underground Railroad. When the Freemasons would not accept African Americans into their society, or recognize the free-black Prince Hall Masons, he corresponded with masonry groups in Europe, seeking support and recognition there. He gained recognitions from Masons in several European countries (Germany, France, Italy, Hungary) and two from the Americas (Peru and the Dominican Republic).

In the 2014 parliamentary election, Juncker campaigned as the candidate  of the European People's Party (EPP) for the presidency of the European Commission. The EPP won a plurality in parliament, and on 27 June, the European Council nominated him for the post. Later on 15 July 2014, the European Parliament elected Juncker as the new Commission president. On 22 October, the European Parliament approved the Juncker Commission in its entirety and during the 23–24 October 2014 meeting of the European Council the Council formally appointed the new Commission. On 1 November 2014, the new Commission officially assumed office. Juncker has outlined a ten-point agenda for his Presidency focusing on jobs and growth.

Policy
Under the Juncker Commission, the EU General Data Protection Regulation was passed. The Commission co-developed the law, culminating in a trilogue proposal between the Commission, Parliament, and Council on 15 December 2015. The GDPR entered into force on 24 May 2016.

Institutional reorganisation
Juncker made the Commission's work more top-down by strengthening the Secretariat-General in two ways. Firstly, he gave it a gatekeeper function regarding new initiatives. All "major initiatives" must henceforth be approved by the "relevant Vice-President(s) and the First Vice-President, unless they are initiated directly by the President". Secondly, the SG was made chair of all inter-service steering groups (ISGs) dealing with priority initiatives in the Commission's work programme.:9-10 :8-9

Juncker also abolished the position of Commissioner for Climate Action, merging it with the energy portfolio, to improve cooperation between staff in the Directorate-General (DG) Energy and the former DG Climate Action.:10

Commissioners
The following college of commissioners serves under Juncker's presidency:

Former members

President's cabinet
The President's cabinet supports the President of the commission, and thus has a very central role in coordinating the work of the European Commission as a whole. The president's cabinet is led by Clara Martinez Alberola. Formerly, it was led by Martin Selmayr, who has been described as "the most powerful EU chief of staff ever."

Project teams
Juncker has for the first time proposed a commission that clusters certain members together under designated policy areas. These clusters are known as "Project Teams" and will each be headed by one of the vice presidents. Each team is composed of a core membership in addition to members who may fall under its respective umbrella as needed. Timmermans and Georgieva both oversee all commissioners while the remaining five project teams are as follows:

title: SunLife

text:
SunLife Ltd is a UK-based financial services company. Founded in 1810, the company is best known for its range of services for people aged 50 and over.

SunLife currently offers over 50s life insurance and equity release in the United Kingdom. In 1900, they became the first company to offer life insurance without a medical. SunLife has been part of the Phoenix Group since 2016.

SunLife is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and their qualifying products are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The company is a member of the Data & Marketing Association. Their partners are also members of the Equity Release Council (Key Group) and the Funeral Planning Authority (Dignity Funerals).

History

1800 to 1900
SunLife can trace its history back to the establishment of the Sun Life Assurance Society on 28 March 1810, when the Sun Fire Office Board launched a separate company to offer life assurance. The society's first office opened opposite the Bank of England in London, and actuary Joshua Milne was appointed the first member of staff.

During its first 12 months, Sun Life Assurance Society wrote 132 policies for a total sum assured of £163,150. The premium income was £6,077. At an 1815 board meeting it was decided that, for the future, burial as well as death certificates would be required to substantiate claims.

In 1835, the Society appointed its first Medical Officer to assist in the selection of lives for Assurance. Dr Henry Herbert Southey had previously been a Physician-in-Ordinary to the Monarch in 1823, and later Physician-Extraordinary for Queen Adelaide. Amongst the life assurance candidates was Charles Dickens in 1838, whose application was declined by the Society on the grounds that he “works too much”. The first Sun Fire Office salesman, Edward Trescott Liddell, was hired in 1865.

1884 became a landmark year as Sun Life Assurance Society issued more than 1000 policies for the first time. In 1891, the company set up the Sun Life Assurance Company of India, with offices at 7 Council House Street, Calcutta, and a local Board of Directors. Harris Saunders was the Actuary and General Manager.

Sun Life Assurance Society bought over twenty life insurance societies during the late 19th and early 20th century and incorporated them, their branch offices and employees into the business.

1900 to 2000
Sun Life Assurance Society's first monthly premium plan was introduced in 1900. Towards the end of that year, they became the first company in the industry to offer life assurance without a medical examination. In 1921, the non-medical scheme was finalised, meaning approved people aged 50 or over could get immediate whole of life cover without the need for a medical examination.

In the years leading up to the Second World War, Sun Life Assurance Society owned East Hall, a house in the outskirts of Orpington. In 1938, it was made into a Southern Divisional Centre in preparation for the war.

In 1965, the 155 years of close association between Sun Life and the Sun Fire Office came to an end. The break was a result of the formation of the Sun Alliance and London Group. When Sun Alliance made a successful bid for London Assurance, it resulted in a conflict of interest with Sun Life, so it was agreed that they would go their separate ways.

From the 1970s SunLife split their headquarters between London and Bristol. The head office moved to Bristol in 1976–1977. Within a year, Sun Life began sending out direct mail. They introduced their very first plan for people aged over 50 in 1979. In 1982, they became the world's first life assurance company to announce a £200,000 non-medical limit.

In 1992, French insurer UAP became Sun Life Assurance Society's major shareholder. Shortly after, Sun Life Assurance Society & Provincial Insurance Company merged and established the holding company, Sun Life & Provincial Holdings. In 1997 Axa, who had acquired UAP in 1996, transferred its Equity & Law business to Sun Life & Provincial Holdings increasing its holding in the company from 60% to 72%.

2000 to present
In May 2000, Axa acquired all shares it did not already own in the company. The business was renamed Axa Sun Life Direct, and then Sun Life Direct in 2009.

Axa sold its main life assurance business to Resolution Group in 2010 and continued to sell life insurance products through Sun Life Direct. Dean Lamble, formerly of Aviva, was appointed Managing Director. He was named CEO in 2016.

Sun Life Direct rebranded to SunLife in 2014. In the same year, SunLife announced a range of savings products, including stocks and shares ISAs.

In 2016, Axa sold its UK investment, pensions and insurance businesses, including SunLife, to UK insurer Phoenix Group in a £375 million deal.

Brand and image

The logo

The SunLife logo originates from the fire insurance marks that were utilised within the UK from the late seventeenth century to the beginning of the twentieth. These plaques were displayed on the insured buildings and indicated the organisation with whom they were insured. The first to use the mark was the Sun Fire Office. These developed over 200 years to the current SunLife logo.

text:
Aleksandr Vasiljevich Fomin (1869-1935) was a botanist. He studied ferns and seed plants. He was also a director of the Kyiv University Botanical Garden; which was renamed after him, when he died. He was a subject of the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union.

Biography
He was born in the village of Ermolevka in Petrovsk, Saratov Oblast on (.

From 1888 to 1890, Fomin along with Nicolaĭ Adolfowitsch Busch and Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov, funded by the Russian Geographical Society, took several botanical and geographical expeditions to the Caucasus.

In 1893, he graduated from Moscow University.

In 1896, he became a graduate assistant at the Universität Dorpat (now known as the University of Tartu, Estonia).

Foin, Busch and Kuznetsov later wrote 'Flora Caucasica critica' (Materially dlia flory Kavkaza : kriticheskoe sistematichesko-geograficheskoe izsliedovanie), which was published between 1901 and 1913. It was written as a special supplement to the journal 'Trudy Sankt-Peterburgskogo obshchestva estestvoispytatelei', v. 31, pt. 3, 1901, and v. 34, pt. 3 1905–1908. This published several new species of plant including, Arabidopsis pumila,

In 1902, he became a botanist at the Tbilisi Botanical Gardens.

Between 1907 and 1919, he wrote 'Kavkaza i Kryma' (Flora of the European part of Russia, An illustrated key to the wild plants of European part of Russia and Crimea) with Yury Nikolaevich Voronov, about plant species in the Caucasus. Although, it was unfinished due to the start of the First World War.
He also wrote in 1907 'Cucurbitaceae i Companulaceae flory Kaukaza'.

In 1914, Fomin became a professor at the University of Kyiv, (under O. Fomin).

Between 1914 and 1935, he served  as director of the Saint Vladimir University Botanical Garden, Kyiv, Ukraine. During the severe winter of 1919–1920, he and his team saved many green-house plant collections from the frost.

In 1921, he founded the National Herbarium of Ukraine, which holds his specimens.

In 1922, Fomin founded the botany department at the Botanical Garden, that was reorganized in 1927 into the 'Scientific-Research Botany Institute' (now the Institute of Botany named after Kholodny Academy of Sciences of Ukraine).

When he died in 1935, the university renamed the garden, the A.V. Fomin Botanical Garden.

An extensive collection of species collected from the Caucasus is stored within the sheltered herbarium at University of Tartu, in Estonia.

He is the botanical author of many species including; Allium atroviolaceum, Allium callidyction, Allium rupestre, Astragalus cyri, Asyneuma lobelioides, Campanula Andina, Campanula Armena, Campanula bayerniana, Campanula besenginica, Campanula raddeana, Campanula petrophila, Campanula daghestanica, Campanula longistyla, Campanula sibirica, Campanula suanetica, Centaurea daralagoezica, Crocus suwarowianus, Cryptogramma brunoniana, Fritillaria michailovskyi,  Galanthus transcaucasicus, Iris acutiloba var. schelkowinkowii, Myriophyllum spicatum,

Although, he has collaborated on some publications with Alexander Alfonsovich Grossheim on many articles.

He is mentioned in D.J. Mabberley portable plant books of 1997.

Several botanical species have been named in his honor,  including; Cirsium fominii Petr., Crinitaria fominii ( Kem.-Nath. ) Czerep., Campanula fominii Grossh. Kolak. & Serdyuk.,
Colchicum fominii Bordz., Polystichum × fominii Askerov & A.Bobrov, Juncus fominii Zoz, Acinos fominii Shost.-Desiat., Acantholimon fominii Kusn. and Atropis fominii Bilyk.

title: Men of Ideas

text:
Men of Ideas is a 1978 BBC television series presented by Bryan Magee. There were 15 episodes, in which Magee interviewed noted philosophers.

Overview
The first episode, "Introduction to Philosophy", saw Magee in discussion with Isaiah Berlin. In subsequent episodes Magee discussed such topics as Marxist philosophy, the Frankfurt School, and modern Existentialism.

During the broadcast run, edited shorter versions of the discussions were published in The Listener magazine. Extensively revised versions of the dialogues within the Men of Ideas series were published in a 1979 book of the same name, now published under the title Talking Philosophy. DVDs of the series are sold to academic institutions with the title Contemporary Philosophy.

Noting that the series "attracted a steady one million viewers per show", The Daily Telegraph hailed the series, and its 1987 'sequel', for achieving "the near-impossible feat of presenting to a mass audience recondite issues of philosophy without compromising intellectual integrity or losing ratings."

Neither this series nor Magee's 1987 series The Great Philosophers are available for purchase by home users - though as of March 2023 (with the appearance of the Charles Taylor interview) all episodes are freely available on YouTube.

I Hate Mondays () is a 1971 Polish comedy film directed by Tadeusz Chmielewski.

Plot
The action of the film takes place on an unlucky Monday in Warsaw and focuses on episodes from the lives of a dozen or so characters. Italian industrialist Francesco Rovanelli (Kazimierz Witkiewicz), who comes to Warsaw with the intention of signing a lucrative contract, unexpectedly gets lost in a foreign city. A Milicja officer (Andrzej Herder) in charge of the movement has to take care of his little son, who, like other children, has not been admitted to the kindergarten because of the rubella that prevails there, and his wife (Joanna Kasperska), who works in a matrimonial office, cannot leave her job. The delegate of the commune cooperative (Jerzy Turek) is looking for a spare part for a combine harvester and argues with the impetuous taxi driver (Adam Mularczyk), and the drunk actor Bohdan Łazuka (appearing as himself) tries to get home, walking through the awakening Warsaw led by tram tracks, in which he stuck the crank to the car.

title: Radio Bearer in UMTS

text:
In mobile telephony a bearer service is a link between two points, which is defined by a certain set of characteristics. Whenever user equipment (UE) is being provided with any service (CS/PS service), the service has to be associated with a Radio Bearer specifying the configuration for layer 2 and physical layer in order to have its QoS clearly defined. Radio bearers are channels offered by Layer 2 to higher layers for the transfer of either user or control data. In other words, Layer 2 offers to the upper layers the service of information transmission between the UE and the UTRAN by means of the Radio Bearers (RBs) and Signaling Radio Bearers (SRBs).  Therefore, the service access points between Layer 2 and upper layers are RBs.

Radio Access Bearers (RAB)
The purpose of a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) is to provide a connection segment using the WCDMA Radio Access Network (WCDMA RAN) for support of a UMTS bearer service. The WCDMA RAN can provide Radio Access Bearer connections with different characteristics in order to match requirements for different UMTS bearers.

 The conversational speech RAB is tailored to 12.2 kbit/s Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) speech and will also be used to carry emergency calls.
 Video telephony and ftp services may be offered across the Conversational 64 kbit/s Circuit Switched (CS) RAB.
 The streaming 57.6 kbit/s is offered to support a specific modem.
 The new PS streaming 8/54 kbit/s RAB will be implemented on DCH. This streaming RAB will be supported only in combination with PS interactive 8/8 kbit/s RB, no standalone PS streaming RAB will be supported.
 The maximum data rate supported by the Interactive RAB (Packet Switched, PS) is 384 kbit/s in the downlink and 64 kbit/s in the uplink, making it ideal for email or web browsing.
 It is also possible to use the speech RAB together with the interactive RAB that is usually called a MultiRAB.

Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) parameters
A Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) is a radio bearer that carries DCCH signaling data. An SRB is used during connection establishment to establish the Radio Access Bearers (RABs) and then also to deliver signaling while on the connection (for example, to perform a handover, reconfiguration or release).

The test set supports three SRBs:

3.4k DCCH - see 3GPP TS 34.108 6.10.2.4.1.2

13.6k DCCH - see 3GPP TS 34.108 6.10.2.4.1.3

2.2k DCCH - this signaling radio bearer has the following properties:

During connection establishment, an RRC Connection Setup procedure establishes the SRB. The SRB is then used to send all subsequent signaling to start the desired service and establish the radio bearers for the service. Establishment of the radio bearers is achieved using an RB Setup procedure. The RB Setup procedure configures how both the DCCH and DTCH will be carried on the radio bearers.

The RB Setup may specify a different DCCH RLC block size from the DCCH RLC block size that was being used when only an SRB was present. For example, the DCCH RLC block size for the default 3.4k DCCH SRB is 144 bits, but all RMCs (Reference Measurement Channels) call for a DCCH RLC block size of 96 bits. If the RB Setup specifies a change in the DCCH RLC block size from the stand-alone SRB configuration, the UE and network must change the DCCH RLC block size and then perform an RLC Re-establishment procedure to reset the RLC buffers. If your UE does not support changing the DCCH RLC block size during connection setup, you must establish the call using an SRB with a DCCH RLC block size that is equal to the DCCH RLC block size defined for the service you wish to establish.

title: Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4

text:
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 before 2006) is a matrikine used in anti-wrinkle cosmetics. It was launched in 2000 as an active ingredient for the personal care industry under the trade name Matrixyl by the French cosmetic active ingredient manufacturer Sederma SAS.

Chemistry
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (Pal-Lys-Thr-Thr-Lys-Ser = Pal-KTTKS) contains 5 amino acids linked to a 16-carbon aliphatic chain for improving the penetration of the molecule through the lipid structures of the skin. It is a matrikine.

Matrikines are messenger peptides capable of regulating cell activities by interacting with their specific receptors. They activate certain genes involved in the process of extracellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation. By activating the neosynthesis of extracellular matrix macromolecules, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 provides an anti-wrinkle effect. Studies (in vitro and in vivo) demonstrating the anti-wrinkle efficacy of this peptide have been conducted and published by Sederma and by independent organisations.

title: Line 2 (Nizhny Novgorod Metro)

text:
The Sormovsko-Meshcherskaya line () is the second line of the Nizhny Novgorod Metro. The line opened in 1993 and crosses the city on a northwest–southeast axis and is generally coloured blue on Metro maps. It comprises 4 stations and  of track and bears the abbreviation "M2". The construction of the line continues. On June 12, 2018, the Strelka station was opened, in conjunction with the FIFA World Cup.

History
The project of the second line began before the construction of the metro in the Soviet era. At that time, it carried the project name "Sormovsko-Nizhegorodskaya" and was supposed to connect the Lower City and the Upper City. This option planned the construction of 11 stations: Sormovskaya, Sportivnaya, Kalininskaya, Kuibyshevskaya, Kanavinskaya, Gorkovskaya, Sverdlovskaya, Ploshchad Svobody, Republikanskaya and Sovetskaya. In January 1981, the second line (Sormovsko-Nagornaya) was developed, but in March of the same year it was decided to extend the Avtozavodsko-Meshcherskaya line (project name of Line 1) to the Palace of Culture of the Avtozavodsky city district.

In December 1990, the development of the Sormovo-Meshcherskaya line to the stations Yarmarka, Strelka, Meshcherskoe ozero and Volga was approved. In January 1992, it was decided to rename the stations under construction: Kuibyshevskaya to Burnakovskaya, Kalininskaya to Burevestnik, Sportivnaya to Varya.

20 December 1993, the opening of two new stations of Nizhny Novgorod Metro - Kanavinskaya and Burnakovskaya which marked the beginning of the Sormovsko-Meshcherskaya line. 9 September 2002, the third station, Burevestnik, was opened on the line.

Driving directionality

Traffic in Russian metros move on the right, but Sormovsko-Meshcherskaya line is an exception. This line was a branch of the Avtozavodskaya line until May 2018, and at Moskovskaya station the part of trains from Avtozavodskaya line used to go at the side tracks (instead of central), then go to Sormovsko-Meshcherskaya line in the opposite direction without any crossing. Therefore, this line moves on the left-hand traffic. This rule remains even after those lines became independent, due to need to speed up passenger interchange during the morning commute.

title: Pink World

text:
Pink World is a rock opera and the second album released by American rock music recording artist Planet P Project as a double LP, originally on pink vinyl, on cassette in 1984, and on CD in 1993 on the MCA label. It was remastered and re-released on CD as Pink World [Definitive Edition] on the Renaissance Records label in 2008. Pink World is also the title of the album's promotional music video. The video features two songs from the album. (The title track is not included in the video.)

Planet P Project is a pseudonym used by American rock musician and producer Tony Carey (born Anthony Lawrence Carey on October 16, 1953) for his more experimental recordings. Pink World is Carey's fifth solo studio album under his name or his Planet P Project pseudonym. Carey performed all vocals and nearly all instruments on the album, and he composed all of the songs.

The album tells the story of a dystopian society sheltered from nuclear annihilation by the Zone, a protected area created through the psychic powers of a seven-year-old boy named Artemus. The boy is manipulated by government officials into acting as a figurehead to gain public support for their rule, though Artemus himself has nearly absolute power over everybody in the Zone. Artemus eventually leaves the area of safety he created, causing it to vanish as he departs. Pink World was a success among the critics, though sales were initially modest. However, the album has achieved a cult following.

Background
Planet P Project is a pseudonym used by rock musician Tony Carey to distinguish his more progressive and experimental music from his pop-oriented rock releases.

In 1982, Carey released his first two solo albums, In the Absence of the Cat, on the indie label X-Records, and I Won't Be Home Tonight, on the Rocshire label, along with the single (and music video) "West Coast Summer Nights". The title track of the second album was also released as a single.

Upon the demise of the Rocshire label, Carey signed with Geffen Records for his third solo album, but he had a great deal of music written that didn't fit the style of that album. He signed a second contract with Geffen to record and release that material under the "Planet P Project" pseudonym. He released his first album under the name Planet P Project in 1983, called Planet P (later titled Planet P Project) and the first popular single under the Planet P Project name, "Why Me", which reached #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #4 in the magazine's Top Rock Tracks chart. The single and its video made an impact on MTV during its formative years. (The song was one of 30 songs to be included in the 1995 MTV compilation album MTV Class of 1983.) Planet P Project had become a successful recording act independent of Tony Carey's self-named releases.

In 1983 and 1984, Carey recorded his third solo album, Some Tough City, and his second Planet P Project album, the double LP rock opera Pink World, in Hotline Studios, which he co-owned with producer Peter Hauke. A dispute with the label arose when, according to Carey, Geffen's representative was not satisfied with the lyrics to "A Fine, Fine Day" and "The First Day of Summer", both of which would later be released as singles from the album Some Tough City, and Carey refused to rewrite them. Relations with Geffen deteriorated further when Carey delivered the finished Pink World album, which was not well received by the label. Carey had this to say about the response from Geffen:
I delivered Pink World, and the shit REALLY hit the fan. Some of the comments that filtered back to me were "unreleasable" and "this kid's crazy." And some bad ones, too. Long story short, I got traded like a baseball player to MCA Records, which went ahead and released both of these records.

MCA released Some Tough City in the spring of 1984, along with two top 40 singles from the album, and Carey and the label decided to delay the release of Pink World until later that year to avoid interfering with sales and airplay of the earlier album by releasing competing material.

Promotional video
A single promotional music video combining the two Pink World songs "What I See" and "Behind the Barrier" was produced by MGMM Productions. The video, simply titled Pink World, was directed by Roger Lyons, who had previously directed six other music videos, including "Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him" by Yoko Ono and John Lennon, and worked with Ridley Scott as assistant director in Apple Computer's famous 1984 television advertisement. Along with art director Steve Addison, Lyons created a video that Frank Lovece from Faces described as looking "far less like rock clips and more like surrealist paintings come to life," and they did so on a budget of under £40,000 UK (1984, not corrected for inflation). They achieved this in part by filming the entire video on 16 mm film instead of the standard 35 mm film.

In describing his vision for the video, Lyons said, "My inspiration was pictorial...what I saw mostly was sort of everybody's nightmare, with a lot of my own background." Lovece points out that this extended to Lyons' decision to cast his own mother and father in the two parental roles.

At the time of the video's production, Carey was negotiating for financing to have Pink World made into a feature film, but the film never materialized.

Plot

Album
The album tells a dystopian story of a group of people who were sheltered from nuclear attack in an area called the Zone, which itself was created through the psychic powers of a speechless seven-year-old boy named Artemus (spelled both "Artemus" and "Artemis" in the lyrics in the CD booklet), or Artie. These supernatural powers came to the boy following exposure to polluted water in a lifeless river, which flows past a factory that makes household goods. In addition to gaining numerous psychic powers, including psychokinesis and clairvoyance, the boy is condemned to live forever, and he prevents any of the inhabitants of the Zone from aging physically.

Artemus is held by officials of an unnamed government (Implied to be the United States from the description of the "White House lawn" in "A letter from the Shelter") who fear his powers yet want to use them militarily. As part of this plan, they persuade him to construct the Zone, and they present him to the people as an inspiring nationalistic symbol. Once the Zone is completed, the government launches a first strike nuclear attack against an unnamed foe, possibly the Soviet Union. From that point on, life for the survivors in the Zone becomes distinctly Orwellian, revolving around the will of the omnipresent Artemus, who is accepted by the people as a benevolent messianic figure. The boy can read the thoughts of anyone in the Zone, and the people find that comforting. He has absolute power, though he is influenced by flattery to enforce the will of the government officials. Throughout much of the story, Artemus is confused and unsure of what he should do, which adds to his vulnerability to official leadership.

The story concludes with Artemus vanishing from the Zone, leaving behind only a "little pink pool" and a basket at the orphanage, a "baby at the door." The barriers enclosing the Zone begin to fade, and the fearful inhabitants realize they no longer need him.

Many items in the plot, including Artemus' departure from the Zone, are treated with ambiguity and metaphor. Tony Carey has declined to offer specifics:
I'm not going to tell you what it's about - that's for YOU to figure out. (I've gotten a kick out of all the well-meaning interpretations I've read.)

Music video
The Pink World music video does not adhere strictly to the plot of the album.

The video begins with Pink World's main character, Artemus, shown in his bedroom, looking out the window at a helicopter that follows him throughout the first half of the video. He is then shown holding a small globe that is glowing red. His mother enters and puts the globe under his bed and tucks him in. With the helicopter following him, the scene changes to a large institutional setting filled with empty beds. He appears sad and confused as his mother washes him. He sees a vision of crowds of people in the Barrier (foreshadowing the scene in the second part of the video). The first part of the video ends as we see Artemus again looking out of his bedroom window, the institution and the crowds in the Barrier apparently a vision. He climbs back into bed. The plot in the first part of the video is not linear. Scenes are interspersed with flashbacks and future visions.

As the music transitions from "What I see" to "Behind the Barrier", Artemus is shown emerging from the cage section of "The Healer" ("Le Thérapeute", a figure appearing in many works by Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte, e.g., ref) He then finds himself in a surreal scene populated with what Lovece describes as "ragged waifs" crowded into the tall Barrier that encloses the Zone, with skeleton soldiers patrolling the ground. Artemus witnesses three identical girls emerging from a shell, one at a time, apparently having been cloned. He then sees himself emerging as a clone from a similar shell, and he grins at himself. (No such episode is described in the album's lyrics. This is one of several instances of artistic license employed by the video's director, Roger Lyons.) The video ends with Artemus shown content among the masses of "ragged waifs" gathered within the Barrier.

Release
MCA's original double LP version of Pink World was released in late November, 1984. The album was simultaneously released in the US and Europe. The double LP was pressed on what one reviewer called “Pepto Bismol pink vinyl.” The single for "What I See" was also released on pink vinyl, as was the 12" promotional single distributed to radio stations for airplay. MCA also released the album on cassette.This was the last album Tony Carey released under the name Planet P Project until 2005, when he released Go Out Dancing Part 1 "1931".

The Pink World video was released at the same time, and it immediately went into power rotation on MTV.

ReceptionPink World entered the Billboard 200 album chart on December 1, 1984, peaking at #121 on February 2, 1985. It was selected as a pick by Billboard in their December 15, 1984 issue. The accompanying review referred to the album as a "thematic extravaganza" with "plenty of dramatic rock arrangements." Pink World spent a total of 14 weeks in the Billboard 200, with its last appearance in the March 2, 1985 chart. The song "What I See" reached #25 on Billboard's Top Rock Tracks chart on December 29 of 1984, though the single, "What I See" (b/w "Behind the Barrier"), did not reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart, despite Billboard endorsing it as a recommended pop single in their February 2, 1985 issue.All content under this subheading is sourced from Billboard, all issues from December 1, 1984 (volume 96, issue 48), through March 2, 1985 (volume 97, issue 9). All information comes from the print issues of Billboard, as scanned and maintained on the Billboard website at http://www.billboard.com/magazine-archive.

The Pink World video entered power rotation on MTV during the week ending December 1, 1984. The video remained in power rotation or active rotation for ten weeks on the network. The Campus Network also aired the Pink World video during their New Groove show.

Continued popularity
Although sales of the album were modest when it was released, Pink World continues to enjoy popularity with fans of the progressive rock genre. Tom Demalon of AllMusic rates the album at 4 1/2 stars out of five. Demalon writes, "Pink World is a curiously interesting work that has managed to achieve a certain cult status."

Sam Fiorani from The High Fidelity Report, in a 2013 review of the albums Planet P Project and Pink World, described both albums as "the best-kept secrets hidden away in the stacks of vinyl across the country." Summarizing opinions found around the Internet, Fiorani says "'It would make a good SciFi movie' and 'make no mistake, Pink World is a phenomenal album' are types of comments on the ‘Net by fans of this set." He concludes his review with the recommendation, "Give yourself a treat and find your own copies of Planet P and Pink World for a glimpse of a time long gone by and great music that may never return."

The "producer"
Peter Hauke produced albums with Nektar in the seventies and White Lion's debut album. He was also credited as the producer in the MCA editions of Pink World, as well as Carey's first three studio albums and the previous Planet P Project. However, in the liner notes for the 2008 remastered edition CD, Carey does not name Hauke, but harshly criticizes him as someone who made no artistic contribution to the recording (confirmed by technicians working on this project). He writes, "The 'producer' was quite talented - at making deals and money - all of which he kept for himself."''
Hauke is not credited as the producer in the liner notes, CD booklet, or on the disc itself in the 2008 release. He is not referred to by name in the liner notes. He is only referred to as the "producer", always in quotation marks. He is named on the back cover of the CD booklet as a co-arranger.

title: Malcolm Kelland

text:
Malcolm Andrew Kelland (9 October 1963) is professor of chemistry at University of Stavanger in Norway, known for inventing environmentally friendly chemicals for the oil industry.

He was educated at Whitgift School in Croydon, London. He went on to study chemistry at Oxford University from 1983 to 1990 and was awarded a DPhil in Organometallic chemistry. He undertook postdoctoral research with Rinaldo Poli at the University of Maryland. From 1991 to 2000 he worked at Rogalandsforskning, a Norwegian research institute located in Stavanger (established 1973). Since 2000 he has worked at Stavanger College, which since 2004 has been known as the University of Stavanger.

His research has resulted in Kinetic Inhibitors. These are chemicals that aim at preventing gas hydrates, which is ice formation in oil pipes, a process that also may clog the pipes and cause damage to personnel.  The inventions are called Low Dosage gas Hydrate Inhibitors (LDHI) and cause less pollution than chemicals that have been traditionally used such as methanol and glycol.

His inventions are inspired by how fish survive in cold waters, and use degradable components that resemble the protein found in fish. Kelland is registered as inventor of several patents, some owned by oil companies such as Exxon, and in 2011 he co-founded the company Eco Inhibitors.  Since 2010 he has been the leader of the «Green Production Chemistry» research project.

He has published numerous peer-reviewed journal articles on his research.
In 2009 he also published a book entitled Production Chemicals for the Oil and Gas Industry.

He has received prizes from the oil industry.  In 2012 he was awarded the Lyse Research Award and in 2013 the Sparebank 1 SR-Bank prize for innovations.

title: One (Bach novel)

text:
One is a 1988 novel by Richard Bach about what could happen in an alternate world. The characters are based on Bach and his wife, Leslie Parrish.

Synopsis
The author Richard and his wife Leslie have come under a spell of quantum physics. As a result, they find themselves in an alternate world, existing in different incarnations at the same time. First it is as if they were themselves, but living sixteen years in the past, on the day that they first met. In this alternate version of their lives they do not wed, and neither finds the happiness that they've achieved in their actual life. In another universe they find a world without war, where both Leslie and Richard are pilots in nonviolent war games. In a trip to the past they meet Attila the Hun. In another world they meet a saint who has discovered the meaning of life, but immediately burns the evidence, knowing that it would only cause division and ultimately, holy war. They meet the spirit who gives Richard his writing inspiration. They travel to a world where Richard is a bitter, dying man; a world where Leslie has left Richard; and a world where Leslie has died in a plane crash and Richard contemplates suicide.

Reviews
 "Under the spell of quantum physics, Bach and his wife Leslie are catapulted into an alternate world in which they exist simultaneously in many different incarnations." "These little homilies can either be uplifting or mightily boring, depending on the reader's point of view." —Publishers Weekly
 "Instead of soaring and diving through space, passengers on this flight must be prepared to cruise slowly, making several stops to look at their motivation and lifestyles as the Bachs look at their own." —Detroit Free Press
 "This is a strange and thought-provoking fantasy from the man who gave us Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions, one that is imaginative, playful, and in places, startling in concept." —The Anniston Star

title: Columbia Township Auditorium

text:
Columbia Township Auditorium, also known as Township Auditorium, is a historic auditorium located in Columbia, South Carolina. It was built in 1930 (93 years ago), and is a three-story, brick building with a Doric order columned portico in the Georgian Revival style.  It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, and in 2009 it underwent a complete renovation/modernization that saw the architects/facility win national awards for historic preservation/renovation. The auditorium has a seating capacity of 3,072 for standard concert seating and 3,383 with general admission floor seating.

In the early years of the building the facility was a major tour stop in the Southeast US with everyone performing there, including Duke Ellington, The Ink Spots r&b group in 1940, Louis Armstrong in 1940 (for $1.20 a ticket) and 1944, Count Basie & His Orchestra in 1947, Elvis Presley in 1956, Bill Haley & His Comets with Bo Diddley in 1956, Florida's Ray Charles in 1960, The Isley Brothers in 1960, Johnny Cash in 1963, Peter, Paul, & Mary in 1963, Augusta's James Brown in 1965, Macon's Otis Redding (died 1967) with Atlanta's Gladys Knight in 1965, Beach Boys in 1965, Greenwood's frat rock Swingin' Medallions in 1966, Paul Revere & The Raiders in 1967, Joan Baez in 1968, and Loretta Lynn, just to name a few.
