title: Sunny Afternoon (musical)

text:
Sunny Afternoon is a jukebox musical with music and lyrics by Ray Davies and a book by Joe Penhall. Based on the formation and career of the English rock band The Kinks, the musical was commissioned and produced by Sonia Friedman and made its world premiere in 2014 at the Hampstead Theatre, London, before transferring to the West End's Harold Pinter Theatre. Featuring songs by The Kinks, Sunny Afternoon includes their hits such as "Lola", "Waterloo Sunset", "You Really Got Me" and the musical's title song, "Sunny Afternoon".

Background
On 13 December 2013, producer Sonia Friedman officially confirmed that a musical based around the early life of Ray Davies and the formation of the band The Kinks would receive its world premiere at the Hampstead Theatre in spring 2014. The musical was named after the band's 1966 hit single "Sunny Afternoon," and features songs from the band's back catalogue. The musical has a book by Joe Penhall and is directed by Edward Hall, with choreography by Adam Cooper, set and costume design by Miriam Buether, lighting design by Rick Fisher, sound design by Matt McKenzie and musical direction by Elliott Ware.

Production history

Original London production (2014-16)
The show's premiere production began previews at the Hampstead Theatre in London, on 14 April 2014, with its official opening night on 1 May, booking for a limited run until 24 May 2014.

In late June, it was confirmed that the production would transfer to the West End, beginning previews at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 4 October, with an official opening night on 28 October 2014. Tickets for the transfer went on sale on 30 June. Shortly after beginning previews the show extended booking to January, before quickly announcing another extension to 23 May 2015. On 14 November 2014, the cast appeared on the BBC's Children In Need, closing the show. The musical closed on 29 October 2016.

A typical performance runs two hours and 45 minutes, including one interval.

UK and Ireland tour (2016-17)
The production embarked on its first UK and Ireland tour opening at the Manchester Opera House in August 2016 ending at the Grand Opera House, Belfast in June 2017.

A second UK and Ireland tour was due to open again at the Manchester Opera House in August 2020, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic was cancelled.

Synopsis
The semi-biographical story is set against the background of political and social change of the 1960s. The musical examines the early years of the Muswell Hill, London-based group The Kinks. After initial failure, the band's lead guitarist Dave Davies experimented and created a distorted power chord sound on the group's third single, "You Really Got Me". The song, written by Dave's older brother Ray, went to No 1 in the UK charts and preceded a string of hits. Woven into the musical are the themes of the Davies brothers' sibling rivalry, management problems, their sister's untimely death, Ray's doomed marriage and their subsequent banning from the United States following a dispute with the musicians' union.

title: Barnett-Aden Gallery

text:
The Barnett-Aden Gallery was a nonprofit art gallery in Washington D.C., founded by James V. Herring and Alonzo J. Aden, who were associated with Howard University's art department and gallery.  The gallery, which opened on October 16, 1943, and operated until 1969, was the first successful Black-owned private art gallery in the United States; showcased numerous important artists; and became an important, racially integrated part of the artistic and social worlds of 1940s and 1950s Washington, D.C.

History
The gallery was located in the first floor of the 127 Randolph Place, NW row home shared by the two founders, who were life partners. Herring joined the Howard faculty in 1921, started the university's art department in 1922, was its head until he retired in 1953, and founded the university's gallery of art in 1928 (it opened in 1930).  Aden, a former student of Herring's at Howard who was the first curator of the university's gallery of art until he left that position in 1943, was the director of the Barnett-Aden Gallery, and it was named after his mother, Naomi Barnett Aden.

Artists featured at the gallery included Alma Thomas, Elizabeth Catlett, Lois Mailou Jones, Charles White, Edward Mitchell Bannister, Jacob Lawrence, Laura Wheeler Waring, Romare Bearden, Henry O. Tanner, Bernice Cross., and Merton Simpson.  The collection featured artists of every race, particularly African American artists whose work was shown in few other venues. "...there were few such opportunities in the years following World War II...in those bleak years, the Barnett-Aden Gallery was one of the few private galleries where Black painters, sculptors and graphic artists had a continuing opportunity to expose their works.”

The gallery opened on October 16, 1943, with the exhibition "American Paintings for the Home." It was officially incorporated on August 19, 1947.  The early gallery as it existed in 1947 can be seen in the painting First Gallery by John Robinson. Exhibitions, shows, receptions and other events provided a racially integrated gathering place for the art community in a segregated city from the 1940s-1960s.

Eleanor Roosevelt was photographed visiting the Barnett-Aden Gallery in 1944, as First Lady.  Romare Bearden said that the first time he saw a Matisse in Washington was at the Barnett-Aden. Therese Schwartz wrote that the Barnett-Aden was the most important art gallery in America south of New York.

Closure and legacy
The gallery began to decline in the late 1950s. After the death of the founders in 1961 (Aden) and 1969 (Herring), the gallery closed and the bulk of the gallery's collection was transferred via Adolphus Ealey to the Museum of African American Art in Tampa, Florida, (now defunct) as well as to private collections. The collection was shown in the 1970s at the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum of the Smithsonian Institution and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The majority of the collection was owned by Robert L. Johnson.

In 2015, Johnson donated portions of the collection to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

title: Hélène Metzger

text:
Hélène Metzger (26 August 1889 – 7 March 1944) was a French philosopher of science and historian of science. In her writings she focused mainly on the history of chemistry. She was murdered in the Holocaust.

Early life and education
Hélène Bruhl was born on 26 August 1889 to an upper middle-class Jewish family in Chatou. She was the niece of Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, an influential French anthropologist. Her father insisted that she and her sister stop their studies after only three years at university. In 1912, she obtained a diploma in crystallography. She married in 1914, and was widowed only a few months afterwards, after which she returned to research.

Research and writing
In 1918, Metgzer submitted a thesis on the emergence of the science of crystals. During the 1920s and 30s, she published six books on the history of chemistry in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, whilst supporting herself on the money from her dowry.

Death and legacy
Metgzer became a victim of the Holocaust because of her Jewish background. When France was occupied by the Nazis in the 1940s, Metzger initially stayed in Paris before moving to Lyon, which was part of the so-called "free zone", in late 1941. She refused to go into hiding and was arrested by the Gestapo on 8 February 1944. She was then deported from Drancy to Auschwitz concentration camp on 7 March 1944, and was murdered either during travel or upon arrival.

Metzger's work was not always recognised during her lifetime and she never held an academic position, but she is one of the few prewar French historians of science whose work is widely read today. Because of her early death, her oeuvre is limited in size, but has nonetheless been influential. She published nine books, thirty-six articles and numerous reviews.<ref name="CHOC7-2">{{cite journal|last=Bowden|first=Mary Ellen|date=1990|title=Gad Freudenthal, Études sur / Studies on Hélène Metzger (review)|journal=The Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry News|volume=7|issue=2|page=12}}</ref>  Contemporaries such as Gaston Bachelard and Émile Meyerson referred often to her works and also Thomas Kuhn, in the introduction of his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) referred to her as one of his main inspirations.

title: Vehicle rescheduling problem

text:
The vehicle rescheduling problem (VRSP) is a combinatorial optimization and integer programming problem seeking to service customers on a trip after change of schedule such as vehicle break down or major delay. Proposed by Li, Mirchandani and Borenstein in 2007, the VRSP is an important problem in the fields of transportation and logistics.

Determining the optimal solution is an NP-complete problem in combinatorial optimization, so in practice heuristic and deterministic methods are used to find acceptably good solutions for the VRSP.

Overview
Several variations and specializations of the vehicle rescheduling problem exist:
 Single Depot Vehicle Rescheduling Problem (SDVRSP): A number of trips need to be rescheduled due to delay, vehicle break down or for any other reason.  The goal is to find optimal rescheduling of the existing fleet, using possibly extra vehicles from the depot, in order to minimise the delay and the operating costs.  In the Single Depot variation, there is only one depot which contains all extra vehicles, and in which every vehicle starts and ends its schedule.
 Multi Depot Vehicle Rescheduling Problem (MDVRSP): Similar to SDVRSP, except additional depots are introduced.  Each depot has capacity constraints, as well as variable extra vehicles.  Usually vehicle schedules have an additional constraint which requires that each vehicle returns to the depot where it started its schedule.
 Open Vehicle Rescheduling Problem (OVRSP): Vehicles are not required to return to the depot.

Although VRSP is related to the Single Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem and the Multi Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem, there is a significant difference in runtime requirements, as VRSP need to be solved in near real-time to allow rescheduling during operations, while SDVSP and MDVSP are typically solved using long running linear programming methods.

Another field where VRSP is used is in transportation of goods in order to reschedule the routes when demand substantially changes

title: Alabama Baptist Association

text:
The Alabama Baptist Association (ABA) was an association of Baptist churches founded on 15 December 1819 by four churches: the Antioch Baptist Church (of Montgomery County, Alabama) and the Baptist churches of Old Elam (also named Elim), Bethel, and Rehoboth.

Of these four churches, three were founded by James McLemore, a preacher who had come to Alabama by way of Georgia; only the Rehoboth church was founded by another man, Lee Compere, who later founded the First Baptist Church in downtown Montgomery, but Compere may have been recruited by McLemore. The latter's family continues to be a prominent family in Montgomery: the campus of Auburn University at Montgomery is built on 500 acres of the former McLemore plantation.

From the beginning the ABA was focused on missionary activity, founding churches in different counties, and had a strong representation at the 1823 foundation of the Southern Baptist Convention, supplying six of the fourteen delegates from the state of Alabama. According to historian Wayne Flynt the ABA "dominated state Baptist life". By 1832 the association had 28 churches in six counties. But not every Baptist church in the state was pro-mission, and in the late 1820s anti-missionary influences were found in almost every church in the association. A vote in 1838 on missionary societies failed to carry the majority, but as a result seventeen churches left to form the Ebenezer Association, leaving the association with twenty-three missionary churches.

In 1825 the association procured the slave Caesar Blackwell, "who was commissioned to preach and baptize converts in the slave community" and preached to both black and white people. Blackwell cost $625, and lived with James McLemore, founder of the Elim, Bethel, and Antioch churches; McLemore already owned Caesar's wife and child. The ABA's missionary efforts among the state's African-American population was an important factor in the doubling of the congregation reported between 1845 and 1860; in 1847, the congregation numbered 3,537 people, including 1,790 black members.
In 1850, it issued a directive imploring the instruction of slaves—as a means of control as well as out of Christian compassion. After 1860, however, more and more Baptist associations across the state were having separate services for black congregations, and so did the ABA, which in 1867 advised its member churches to "encourage blacks to form their congregations 'under the direction and supervision of their white brethren'".

title: 2014 German motorcycle Grand Prix

text:
The 2014 German motorcycle Grand Prix was the ninth round of the 2014 MotoGP season. It was held at the Sachsenring in Hohenstein-Ernstthal on 13 July 2014.

A light rain shortly before the MotoGP race led a large number of riders to choose to go to the grid with wet weather tyres. However, the rain started to dry quickly causing a number of riders to switch to slicks at the end of the formation lap which meant those riders had to start from pit lane.
This resulted in only 9 of the 23 riders starting on the grid. Only three riders on the grid were on slicks (Stefan Bradl, Hiroshi Aoyama, Karel Abraham). Stefan Bradl, who swapped to slicks between the sighting and warm up laps, was the only rider on any of the first five rows.

title: Kentucky Route 91

text:
Kentucky Route 91 (KY 91) is a  state highway that traverses three counties in western Kentucky. It begins in Hopkinsville, Kentucky and ends at the Ohio River, the Kentucky-Illinois state line in northern Crittenden County.

Route description

Hopkinsville to Princeton
It begins at a junction with U.S. Route 68 and Kentucky Route 80 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, the Christian County seat. It crosses KY-1682, the Hopkinsville By-Pass before leaving town. It goes on a northwesterly path, and its junction with Kentucky Route 398 is KY 91's access point to Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park.

KY 91 enters Caldwell County, and then it would meet Kentucky Routes 139 and 293, along with US 62 in downtown Princeton. It then traverses Interstate 69 on the northwest outskirts of Princeton.

Princeton to Cave-in-Rock
KY 91 meets Kentucky Route 70 and then U.S. Route 641 at Fredonia, a community northwest of Princeton. KY 70, KY 91, and US 641 then run concurrently from there into Crittenden County. KY 70 departs from US 641/KY 91 at a point north of the Crittenden-Caldwell County line, while KY 91 remains with US 641 until the U.S. Route's northern terminus at the U.S. Route 60 junction at Kentucky. For a few blocks, KY 91 runs concurrently with US 60, and then KY 91 goes further north to reach its northern terminus at the Cave-In-Rock Ferry on the Ohio River, which also marks the Kentucky-Illinois state line. It becomes Illinois State Highway 1 upon entry into Hardin County, Illinois.

title: George L. K. Morris

text:
George Lovett Kingsland Morris (November 14, 1905 – June 26, 1975) was an American artist, writer, and editor who advocated for an "American abstract art" during the 1930s and 1940s, and is best known for his Cubist sculptures and paintings.

Early life
Morris was born into a privileged family in Manhattan, New York City on November 14, 1905.  He was the second son of Augustus Newbold Morris (1868–1928) and Helen Schermerhorn Kingsland (1876–1956), who were married in 1896.  His brothers were Newbold Morris (1902–1966), a lawyer, president of the New York City Council, and two-time candidate for mayor of New York City, and Stephen Van Cortlandt Morris (1909–1984), a diplomat.

His paternal grandparents were Augustus Newbold Morris (1838–1906) and Eleanor Colford Jones (1841–1906).  His grandmother's parents were General James I. Jones (1786–1858) and Elizabeth (née Schermerhorn) Jones (1817–1874), the older sister of Caroline Schermerhorn Astor (1830–1908), also known as "The Mrs. Astor."  He was a direct descendant of Lewis Morris, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, from the prominent Colonial-era Morris family of the Morrisania section of the Bronx.

Morris attended Groton School, and graduated from Yale University in 1928.  From 1928 to 1929, he studied with realist painters John French Sloan and Kenneth Hayes Miller at the Art Students League of New York.  In 1929, he traveled to Paris with Albert Eugene Gallatin.  In Paris, he continued his studies with Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant.

Career
While in Paris, he became a confirmed abstractionist, and continued writing and publishing on modern movements upon his return to New York.  During World War II, Morris worked for a naval architect's firm as a draftsman.

Although Morris exhibited frequently during the 1930s and 1940s, his paintings and sculpture received greatest recognition after the war.   He remaining a dedicated practitioner of his own form of Cubism, even as colleagues and friends turned to expressionism in the postwar era.

From 1937 through 1943, Morris served as editor, art critic, and patron of the relaunched radical literary magazine Partisan Review, where he advocated for abstract art.  After 1947, he began writing less and focused primarily on painting and sculpture.  He was also a founding member of the American Abstract Artists, serving as president of the group in the 1940s.

Legacy
In 2014, Harry Holtzman and L. K. Morris, two founding members of American Abstract Artists were paired in an intimate 2-man exhibit, curated by Kinney Frelinghuysen and Madalena Holtzman, and designed to evoke an informal conversation between the two artists. L.K. Morris Harry Holtzman Pioneers of American Modernism: Points of Contact. Essays by T. Kinney Frelinghuysen, Madalena Holtzman, Wietse Coppes. Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition from June 26 to October 12, 2014 at the Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio in Lenox.

This exhibition marked also the beginning of a collaboration between the Estates of George L. K. Morris and Holtzman, with support of the Netherlands Institute for Art History. The collaboration aimed at sharing, editing and exhibiting new historical materials related and connected to the world of abstract art of the seminal period of the 1930s and 1940s in Europe and in the USA. For this reason in this first show were present also the works of other European protagonists of the time like Jean Hélion, Cesar Domela, and Ben Nicholson.
A project, that duly enlarged and in the details curated will be evolving into a wider exhibition initiative.

Morris' artworks appear in numerous museum collections, including The Phillips Collection and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.  He is best known for his brightly colored, geometric hard-edge paintings, such as Recessional, from 1950, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art.

Personal life
In 1935, Morris married fellow artist Estelle Condit "Suzy" Frelinghuysen (1911–1988).  She was the daughter of Frederick Frelinghuysen (1848-1936) and his wife Estelle B. Kinney.   Their Lenox, Massachusetts home and studio, constructed in 1930-1941, is now a museum.  They had a dog, a red haired Pekingese named "Miss Rose," who was listed in the Social Register in 1936.

Morris died in an automobile accident, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts on June 26, 1975. He was interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York.

title: Azerbaijani classical music

text:
Azerbaijani classical music () includes a range of musical styles rooted in the traditions of Western or European classical music that European settlers brought to the country from the 20th century and onwards.

History

Azerbaijan Democratic Republic era
The professional classical music in Azerbaijan is associated with name of composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov.

Soviet era
In 1920, Azerbaijani classical music had undergone a renaissance and Baku Academy of Music was founded to give classical musicians the same support as folk musicians. After World War II, Fikret Amirov introduced a new genre called symphonic mugam. Amirov's symphonic mugams were based on classical folk pieces and were performed by many renowned symphony orchestras throughout the world, such as the Houston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski.

Post-Soviet era
In the present era, classical music in Azerbaijan must contend and co-exist with a dominant culture of popular music. Specialist music education at establishments such as the Asaf Zeynally Music School in Baku and Baku Academy of Music provide music teaching to classical musicians.

Modern day advocates of Western classical music in Azerbaijani include Farhad Badalbeyli, Fidan Gasimova and Franghiz Alizadeh.

Festivals and venues

Azerbaijan is host to many major orchestras, festivals and venues. The Gabala International Music Festival and Uzeyir Hajibeyov International Music Festival have presented annual music programmes of international status since the early 21st century.

title: Durtal (horse)

text:
Durtal (9 April 1974 – 1996) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was the best British-trained two-year-old filly of 1976 when she won three of her five races including the Cheveley Park Stakes, and finished second in both the Lowther Stakes and the Champagne Stakes. In the following year she won the Fred Darling Stakes and finished second in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches before being injured shortly before the start of the Oaks Stakes, a race for which she had been favourite. After one more race she was retired from racing and became a successful broodmare, producing the dual Ascot Gold Cup winner Gildoran and the Royal Hunt Cup winner True Panache.

Background
Durtal was a bay mare with a white blaze and three white socks bred in Ireland by Ecurie Aland, a breeding operation owned by the Head family. She was from the first crop of foals sired by Lyphard, an American-bred stallion who raced in France, winning the Prix Jacques Le Marois and Prix de la Forêt in 1972. Lyphard went on to become a very successful breeding stallion in both Europe and North America, siring Three Troikas, Dancing Brave and Manila. Durtal's dam Derna, failed to win a race, but was a highly successful broodmare who had already produced Valderna, the grand-dam of Zabeel and later produced the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Detroit.

As a yearling, Durtal was sent to the sales and bought for ₣145,000 by the British businessman Robert Sangster, the filly was sent into training with Barry Hills at Lambourn in Berkshire. The filly was named after Durtal, a commune in the Maine-et-Loire department in western France.

Racing career

1976: two-year-old season
Durtal began her racing career in a maiden race over five furlongs at Newcastle Racecourse in June and won by four lengths from Hand Canter. Only one horse, a filly named Grain of Truth, opposed Durtal when she ran in the Rose of Lancaster Stakes over six furlongs at Haydock Park Racecourse. She won easily by seven lengths, staying on so strongly that her jockey had great difficulty pulling her up after the finish. At York Racecourse in August, Durtal was moved up in class to contest the Lowther Stakes. The field split into two groups, and although Durtal finished ahead of the stands side group (on the right-hand side from the jockeys' viewpoint) she was beaten half a length by Icena, who was racing on the opposite side of the course.

In September, Durtal was moved up in distance and matched against colts in the Champagne Stakes over seven furlongs at Doncaster Racecourse. After setting the early pace she proved no match for the colt J O Tobin, who beat her by four lengths, but she finished seven lengths clear of the other runners. At Newmarket Racecourse in October, Durtal, ridden by Lester Piggott started at odds of 5/1 for the Cheveley Park Stakes, then the only Group One race of the season in the United Kingdom restricted to two-year-old fillies. The French-trained Haneena, disqualified after winning the Prix d'Arenberg, started favourite, whilst the other leading contenders included Regal Ray (Moyglare Stud Stakes), Be Easy (Molecomb Stakes) and Piney Ridge (National Stakes). Piggott sent Durtal into the lead from the start and she was never seriously challenged, winning by three lengths and two lengths from Be Easy and Rings, with Haneena in fourth.

1977: three-year-old season
On her three-year-old debut, Durtal started 8/13 favourite for the Fred Darling Stakes over seven furlongs at Newbury Racecourse. She was restrained by Piggott until the final quarter mile when she went to the front and quickly went clear of her rivals to win impressively by five lengths from Miss Pinkie. Timeform described her win as "one of the most impressive performances we saw all year". Durtal did not run in the 1000 Guineas, being aimed instead at the French equivalent, the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse, a race which offered a large bonus for horses bred by French-based breeders. Durtal turned into the straight in fifth place before moving up to take the lead but was overtaken in the closing stages by Madelia and dead-heated with Beaune for second place, three lengths behind the winner.

At Epsom Downs Racecourse, Durtal was made favourite for the 199th running of the Oaks over one and a half miles. Durtal appeared agitated in the paddock, and on moving onto the racecourse she bolted and her saddle slipped sideways. Piggott was unseated after being "hung up" by the stirrup and the filly crashed into a rail sustaining injuries which necessitated her withdrawal from the race, which was won in her absence by Dunfermline. Durtal never fully recovered from her injuries, and in her only subsequent appearance she finished last of the three runners behind Noirima and No Cards in the Marlborough House Stakes over one mile at Ascot Racecourse in October.

Assessment
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1976: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries. In the British Free Handicap, Durtal was allotted a weight of 120 pounds, making her the best filly of the season, thirteen pounds behind the top colt J O Tobin. The independent Timeform organisation gave her a rating of 120, ten pounds behind the Irish-trained filly Cloonlara. In their annual Racehorses of 1976 Timeform described her as "sure to figure prominently in the classics, especially the Oaks". In the following year, Durtal was given a rating of 121 by Timeform, twelve pounds below their top three-year-old filly Dunfermline. In the official International Classification, Durtal was rated eight pounds behind the leading three-year-old fillies Dunfermline and Madelia.

Breeding career
Durtal produced at least eleven foals between 1980 and 1995:

Gildoran (bay colt, foaled in 1980, sired by Rheingold), won seven races including the Ascot Gold Cup in 1984 and 1985
Well Defined (chestnut filly, 1982, by Hello Gorgeous)
Follies Bergeres (bay filly, 1984, by Pas de Seul), failed to win in England, later a broodmare in Australia and New Zealand
True Panache (bay colt, 1985, by Mr. Prospector), won the Royal Hunt Cup in 1989
Warring Nations (bay colt, 1986, by Seattle Slew), failed to win in six races
Regimental Arms (bay colt, 1987, by Sir Ivor), won one race
Lady Isis (brown filly, 1988, by Riverman), won one race
River Defences (bay colt, 1989, by Riverman), won one race
Porte des Iles (chestnut filly, 1991, by Kris), failed to win in eight races
Chalamont (chestnut filly, 1993, by Kris), won two races, grand-dam of Roderic O'Connor
Charroux (bay filly, 1995, by Darshaan) failed to win in three races – dam of winners

title: Caesar Blackwell

text:
Caesar Blackwell (1769–1845) was an enslaved African-American preacher in Alabama, one of a number of black preachers in the South who preached to a mixed congregation. He was either bought or freed by the Alabama Baptist Association, and preached in the Antioch Baptist Church in Montgomery County, Alabama.

Biography

Caesar Blackwell was enslaved by a John Blackwell. In 1821, "by experience and baptism" he joined the Antioch Baptist Church, which had been founded three years before by James McLemore, a preacher who had come from Georgia. He preached to an audience of both blacks and whites, and, a modern historian notes, drew "standing-room-only crowds".

His freedom
Sources do not agree on one important fact of Blackwell's life. Some sources claim his freedom was bought in 1825 by the Alabama Baptist Association, an association of Baptist churches founded in 1819; this account is given by Albert J. Raboteau, who cites B. F. Riley (History of the Baptists in the Southern States East of the Mississippi, Philadelphia, 1898, pp. 318–19): "After Blackwell's owner died, the Alabama Baptist Association bought and freed the slave to preach to his people". Others disagree: Wayne Flint, in his Alabama Baptists: Southern Baptists in the Heart of Dixie, says that the Antioch congregation tried to buy him his freedom in 1828 but was unsuccessful, and that in the end he was bought by the Alabama Baptist Association, and became a preaching assistant to one of its ministers, the aforementioned James McLemore, who already enslaved Blackwell's wife and child. Flynt's account is cited by others, including Gary Burton (pastor of Pintlala Baptist Church, Hope Hull, Alabama). James Benson Sellers, Slavery in Alabama (1994), offers another, slightly different account which states that Blackwell was enslaved by McLemore, and was either bought or freed by the ABA after McLemore's death:Another extraordinary Baptist preacher was Caesar Blackwell, a fullblood African slave, a bright, smart, robust fellow. He began his preaching at Elam and soon attracted so much attention that his master, the Reverend McLemore, often took him along on his tours. After McLemore died, the Baptist association made arrangements for Caesar's purchase. W. G. Robertson, in his Recollections of the Early Settlers of Montgomery County, written in 1892, says that he was bought for $1,000 (~$ in ) and a guardian appointed for him. Another report, however, says that he was bought for $625 and set free.[56] Whatever the facts in the case were, Caesar was certainly listened to throughout his life with the utmost respect from whites and blacks alike. He was a frequent visitor in white homes. From a report of his trustees, we find that he preached and performed baptisms at Elam Church, Antioch, Rehoboth, Wetumpka, Mount Gilead, Cubihatchie, and Montgomery. When he became too feeble to preach, his trustees were recommended to furnish him with all the necessities of life.[57] He lived to a good old age, and when he died a stone was erected in his memory.

His calling
What most sources agree on is that Blackwell "was commissioned to preach and baptize converts in the slave community" and that his price was $625. He preached to both black and white people. According to Wilson Fallin and Wayne Flint, Blackwell had an excellent command of Calvinist theology, and was praised by antebellum whites for "his attempt to elevate black Christianity by purging it of what whites saw as black superstition".

Blackwell, though enslaved still (according to Wayne Flint and Wilson Fallin), was allowed to keep the income he generated through preaching until the 1830s. In 1832, a shift in attitudes among the white population following slave insurrections in various Southern states led to severe restrictions on the educational opportunities and legal status of enslaved people, and in 1835 the state Baptist convention in Alabama condemned Northern abolitionism. After 1835 he was allowed only to keep his expenses, and his preaching activities were curtailed; Gary Burton cites Nat Turner's slave rebellion (1831) and the United States v. The Amistad case (1841) as events that caused limits to be placed on Blackwell's freedom of movement. His mentor and associate James McLemore died in 1835, and by 1844 Blackwell was in poor health, though he continued to baptize large numbers of converts, leading them "singing...through the streets of Montgomery on their way to the creek to be baptized". He died in 1845, and was buried close to James McLemore, with a slab honoring him; expenses were paid by the ABA.

Blackwell is buried at the McLemore Taylor cemetery in Montgomery (where McLemore is buried as well), in the "posh neighborhood" of Greystone—but just outside the enclosed area of the cemetery.

title: Azerbaijani ballet

text:
Azerbaijani ballet () is the training methods and aesthetic qualities seen in classical ballet in Azerbaijan.

History
The Azerbaijani ballet originated in 1940, with the creation of the Maiden Tower ballet by Afrasiyab Badalbeyli. During that period, ballet was a relatively new genre for Azerbaijani spectators, but Maiden Tower managed to attract a large audience. It notably featured the first Azerbaijani ballerina, Gamar Almaszadeh, Badalbeyli's wife at the time.

The ballet Gulshan written by Soltan Hajibeyov was the second ballet staged successfully at the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater in 1950.

Azerbaijani ballet became known outside of Azerbaijan thanks to two ballets by Gara Garayev: Seven Beauties and The Path of Thunder.

Dancers such as Gamar Almaszadeh, Leyla Vakilova, Konstantin Batashov, Rafiga Akhundova, Vladimir Pletnyov and Chimnaz Babayeva made great contributions to the Azerbaijani ballet. In addition, directors such as Ismayil Hidayetzade, Mehdi Mammadov, Adil Isgandarov, Sultan Dadashov and Firudin Safarov and conductors such as Niyazi, Ashraf Hasanov, Ahad Israfilzade, Rauf Abdullayev and Kamal Abdullayev also contributed to the development of Azerbaijani ballet.

In 1969, dancers of the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater were awarded a diploma by the Paris Dance Academy at the International Dance Festival held at Champs-Élysées theater in Paris.

In 2010, the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater celebrated its 100th anniversary.

On 13 October 2014, Garayev's ballet Seven Beauties premiered in United States at the San Diego Civic Theatre in San Diego, California.

In February 2021, Seven Beauties premiered in Moscow Provincial Theater.

The principals were Elton Box (1903–1981) and Desmond Cox (1903–1966).  Bill Martin, who worked in "Tin Pan Alley" at the time, recalled their manner, 'And they had a piano.  You would be invited to play them your song, and then afterwards, one of them would say, "What do you think Mr Box?" and the reply would be "I'm not sure Mr Cox".  They then asked you if you had a song like "A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts".  They would do things for a laugh and give you money...'

title: Charles Harvey Combe

text:
Charles Harvey Combe (18 February 1863 – 14 August 1935) was a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1892 and 1897 for the English constituency of Chertsey.

Combe was raised at Cobham Park. He was educated at Eton. Afterwards he travelled for three years, visiting many countries of the world. He served for three years in the Sussex Militia.

Political career
In February 1892, Combe was selected by the Conservative Association for North-West Surrey to be candidate for the by-election to replace Frederick Alers Hankey, who had died that month. Combe won the by-election with 4,589 votes. The other candidate (L. J. Baker) received 2,751 votes. Combe was re-elected unopposed in the general elections of 1892 and 1895. He resigned two years later, because of his ill-health. Many years later, in 1929, Combe returned in the public eye when he was appointed as High Sheriff of Surrey.

Brewery
He was the director of the brewery firm Combe & Co. In 1898 the company merged with James Watney & Co. and Reid and Co., and was subsequently known as Watney Combe & Reid. The amalgamated company was the largest brewer in London. Combe died in August 1935 at the age of 72.

title: 1st Croatian Guards Corps

text:
The 1st Croatian Guards Corps () was a special formation of the Croatian Army (Hrvatska vojska – HV) directly subordinated to the Ministry of Defence rather than the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia and reporting directly to the President of Croatia. The corps was established in 1994 by the amalgamation of various HV special forces. The 2,500-strong unit was organised into the 1st Croatian Guards Brigade (1. hrvatski gardijski zdrug – HGZ), a multi-purpose special forces combat unit, and four battalions tasked with ensuring the security of the President of Croatia and carrying out ceremonial duties. The HGZ took part in a number of military operations during the Croatian War of Independence and the Bosnian War. It was disbanded in 2000, when its components were amalgamated with other HV units to form the Special Operations Battalion, the 350th Military Intelligence Battalion, and the Honour Guard Battalion.

Establishment

On 25 February 1994, the special forces of the Croatian Army (Hrvatska vojska – HV) were reorganised when all HV's special forces units were combined to form the 1st Croatian Guards Corps (1. hrvatski gardijski zbor). In April, personnel of the 8th Military Police Light Assault Brigade (itself only established in September 1993) were also transferred to the corps, ultimately making the corps 2,500-strong. In addition to special forces operations, the corps was also tasked with providing security for the President of Croatia. The corps was organised into four specialised battalions and the 1st Croatian Guards Brigade (1. hrvatski gardijski zdrug – HGZ), a multi-purpose special forces combat unit. The HGZ was considered the elite unit of the HV. The entire corps was directly subordinated to the Ministry of Defence rather than the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia, and reported directly to the president. It was commanded by Major General Mile Ćuk. Ćuk and his deputy were based in the Presidential Palace, while the bulk of the corps was based in nearby Tuškanac barracks. The HGZ was capable of fielding up to 300 troops in combat. It was commanded by Colonel (later Major General) Miljenko Filipović, who had previously commanded the Zrinski Battalion—one of the special forces units amalgamated into the corps.

Combat service
The HGZ took part in several battles of the Croatian War of Independence and the Bosnian War. In late November and December 1994, it participated in Operation Winter '94, the joint offensive of the HV and the Croatian Defence Council (Hrvatsko vijeće obrane – HVO) which pushed the Army of Republika Srpska (Vojska Republike Srpske – VRS) from the western parts of the Livanjsko field in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Elements of the HGZ also saw action along the Novska–Okučani axis of advance in the HV's Operation Flash offensive that took place in western Slavonia in early May 1995. By this time, the HGZ also commanded its own artillery and Mil Mi-24 helicopter gunships, in addition to Mil Mi-8 transport helicopters. The HGZ redeployed west of Livno once again in early June to take part in Operation Leap 2, extending the salient that had been created in late 1994 west towards Bosansko Grahovo and Glamoč. The unit participated in the capture of those towns in late July 1995 during Operation Summer '95.

In preparation for Operation Storm, the HV 4th Guards and 7th Guards Brigades were pulled back from positions facing the VRS that had been established during Operation Summer '95, and were reoriented south towards the Army of the Republic of Serb Krajina (ARSK). The ARSK was protecting the northern approaches to Knin − the capital of the unrecognised Republic of Serbian Krajina − which Croatia claimed as part of its own territory. As the two brigades turned over the positions north and west of Bosansko Grahovo to the HV 81st Guards Battalion, the HGZ was deployed to the rear of the battalion, tasked with intervening in case of any VRS attack towards Bosansko Grahovo. On the second day of the operation, 6 August, after Knin was captured by the HV, the HGZ was airlifted from the Livanjsko field to the village of Rovanjska north of Zadar. They then linked up with the 2nd Battalion of the 9th Guards Brigade and advanced east to capture the villages of Muškovac and Kaštel Žegarski. On 8 August, the HGZ participated in an operation against the last significant ARSK pocket in the area of Donji Lapac and Srb, alongside the three guards brigades and special police forces.

In September 1995, the HGZ took part in Operation Mistral 2, which extended HV and HVO control in western Bosnia and Herzegovina and captured the towns of Jajce, Šipovo and Drvar, moving the confrontation line north towards the Bosnian Serb capital of Banja Luka. In October, the HGZ also participated in Operation Southern Move, which captured the town of Mrkonjić Grad, and reached the southern slopes of Mount Manjača,  south of Banja Luka.

Reorganisation
The corps was disbanded in 2000 and its constituents reorganised. A part of the HGZ was amalgamated with the Special Combat Skills Centre Šepurine to form the Special Operations Battalion. The remainder of the brigade was amalgamated with the Reconnaissance-Sabotage Company based in Pula, the 350th Sabotage Detachment, the 280th Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Platoon, and the 275th Electronic Warfare Company to form the 350th Military Intelligence Battalion. The elements of the corps which were tasked with security of the President of Croatia and ceremonial duties were reformed and the Honour Guard Battalion was established in their place.

title: Carter Plantation

text:
The Carter Plantation, also known as the Carter House, is an historic plantation house located at 30325 Carter Cemetery Road, southwest of Springfield in what is now Livingston Parish, Louisiana, United States.

The property was purchased by Thomas Freeman in 1817, from James Rheem, who acquired it from a Spanish land grant in 1804. Freeman, a free person of color, was the first African American to own property in the Greensburg District (St. Helena Parish), the southern portion of which became Livingston Parish.

The home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1979.

Early history
The land of the plantation was originally part of West Florida, which from 1763 to 1810 was under British and then Spanish control.

Livingston Parish was created February 10, 1832, when St. Helena Parish was divided. There is some controversy as to whether the Parish was named after Edward Livingston or Robert R. Livingston, although the name is generally attributed to the former.

Plantation history

Overview
Thomas Freeman bought the land from Rheem and from 1817 to 1820, built the Federal style raised plantation house and lived there until 1838. State Representative of Livingston Parish, W. L. Breed, bought the house and lived there five years, until his 1843 death while serving as the first sheriff of Livingston Parish.

George Richardson bought the plantation and lived there until his death in 1858. His descendants with the surname Carter (hence the plantation's name) lived there after that.

Historical summary
"The Carter Plantation historically included around 2,000 acres. It has a unique
history which involves the ownership of the plantation by Thomas Freeman, the
first free man of color to own property in Livingston Parish. He and his enslaved laborers managed the land and planted crops. The ownership changed over the
years, but the property continued to operate as a plantation until the Civil War.
The plantation's cypress swamp was a major timber source for the surrounding
area. The timber harvesting was the plantation's main source of income and the
Blood River was the main source of transportation and access to the site.
Historically the river was used to transport the timber mainly south to New
Orleans. The journey by boat to New Orleans used to take 2-3 days. With the
arrival of the railroads, the river became less important for transport, and the
plantation began to slowly lose business.
There were two school houses on the site. One of the school houses was used to
educate the owner’s children and cousins, and the other was a separate school
house hidden in the woods for the slave children to secretly learn. The main land
entry to the site was via the road that approached from the east. Crops grown on
the site included many common southern fruits and vegetables including mainly
corn; however the typical southern cotton crop was never grown on the site."

In March 1865, late in the Civil War, the plantation hosted a small Confederate naval squadron which launched a successful expedition against a Union Navy-protected contraband operation on the lower Amite River. The leader of the Mobile-based force, Lt. Edward J. McDermott, and a local man who served as a guide, Louis Bernard, were killed in the battle and their bodies brought back for burial at the Springfield Cemetery.

Today
The Carter Plantation house is currently the real estate center for "The Villas and the Carter Plantation Golf Resort".

There is a large cemetery on the property.

title: Rancho Melijo

text:
Rancho Melijo, or Milijo, named after a local Kumeyaay village. It was later called Rancho La Punta for the location of the Arguello family ranch house, on a point of hills overlooking the south end of San Diego Bay, north of the Otay River and east of where the river entered the south bend of the bay. It was a Mexican land grant rancho, granted by Governor José Figueroa in 1833 to Santiago E. Argüello.

The rancho covered a square league of land extending 1 league north of the San Antonio Hills and 1 league east of the Pacific Ocean from the mouth of the Tijuana River, including its estuary and the plain east up the lower Tijuan Valley, amounting to 4,439 acres of land. The southern part of the land was adjacent to his fathers Rancho Ti Juan and Rancho San Antonio Abad It extended from the foot of the range of hills that the 1856 county map calls the San Antonio Hills just above the modern border of Mexico, to as far north as to include the south end of the San Diego Bay where the Otay River entered the bay and the southern part of the hills on the north side of the Otay River.

With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Melijo was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852.
The claim (91 SD) with the California Land Commission was rejected and failed in appeals to higher courts. The Argüello family retained some of the land, homesteading it in the vicinity of the ranch house north of the Otay River and by the bay.

The Rancho Melijo included all of modern Imperial Beach, part of southwestern Chula Vista and the Tijuana River Valley, Otay Mesa West, Nestor and Palm City, neighborhoods of southern San Diego. The ranch house fell into ruin in the 20th century and was razed to make way for the I-5 freeway.

title: Bronze Medal for Merit

text:
The Bronze Medal for Merit, post-nominal letters BMM, was instituted by the President of the Republic of South Africa in April 1996. It was awarded to veteran cadres of the Azanian People's Liberation Army, the military wing of the Pan Africanist Congress, for service of a high order during the "struggle".

Azanian People's Liberation Army
The Azanian People's Liberation Army (APLA) was the para-military wing of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). It was established in 1961 to wage an armed "struggle" against the Nationalist government inside South Africa. On 27 April 1994, the Azanian People's Liberation Army was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Bronze Medal for Merit, post-nominal letters BMM, was instituted by the President of South Africa in April 1996. It is the junior award of a set of three decorations for merit, along with the Gold Decoration for Merit and the Silver Medal for Merit.

The Azanian People's Liberation Army's military decorations and medals were modelled on those of the South African Defence Force. These three decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Southern Cross Decoration and Pro Merito Decoration, the Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975), and the Military Merit Medal.

Award criteria
The decoration could be awarded to veteran cadres of the Azanian People's Liberation Army who had rendered service of a high order during the "struggle".

Order of wear

The position of the Bronze Medal for Merit in the official military and national orders of precedence was revised upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003, but it remained unchanged.

Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Transkei Defence Force Medal of the Republic of Transkei.
 Succeeded by the Merit Medal in Bronze (MMB) of Umkhonto we Sizwe.

Description
Obverse
The Bronze Medal for Merit was struck in bronze and has an engrailed edge which has nine points, to fit in a circle 38 millimetres in diameter. It depicts the Azanian People's Liberation Army emblem and a protea flower in each of the nine points.

Ribbon
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide and dark blue, with two 6 millimetres wide dark yellow bands in the centre, spaced 4 millimetres apart.

Discontinuation
Conferment of the Bronze Medal for Merit was discontinued upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003.

title: Marcel Perez

text:
Marcel Perez, born Marcel Fernández Pérez (January 29, 1884 – February 8, 1929), was an internationally celebrated Spanish-born creator and star of over 200 silent comedy short subjects. He directed himself in nearly two-thirds of these films, acting, on two continents under such names as Marcel Fabre, Michel Fabre, Fernandea Perez, Manuel Fernández Pérez, Robinet, Tweedy, Tweedledum, and Twede-Dan.

Biography
Born in Madrid, Perez began his professional career by working as a circus clown in Paris. His film career started with comedy films of the production companies Pathé Frères and Éclair. In 1910 Arturo Ambrosio signed him for his production company, Ambrosio Films. Perez directed several comedies while working for the production company.

He had directed and acted in the sci-fi film Le avventure straordinarissime di Saturnino Farandola, a series of 18 episodes released on the eve of first World War and based on a science fiction novel by Albert Robida. He had played the character of Saturnino Farandola in the film which explored the idea of a voyage around the world. Perez had directed and played the character of Robinet in over 150 films produced by Ambrosio films and was thus popularly called Robinet in Italy. He had directed the 1914 melodrama film Amor Pedestre (translation Pedestrian Love), which did not show any body part of the lead actor or actress except their feet.

During the First World War, Perez left Italy and went to the United States. In America, he was popularly called Tweedle-Dum, Twede-Dan and Tweedy, but among his earliest American movies were a series of four Bungles comedies: Bungles' Rainy Day, Bungles Enforces the Law, Bungles' Elopement and Bungles Lands a Job. The Bungles shorts co-starred Oliver Hardy and were produced by Jacksonville's Vim Comedy Company. Perez began his decade-long occasional collaborations with William A. Seiter on the 1918 military comedy film The Recruit.

Concurrent with his early-1920s short subject work, Perez directed Rubye De Remer in three features; what might have become a more extensive teaming was ended, in part, by her early retirement. Following a cancer-related leg amputation in 1923, his film work was confined almost exclusively to writing and directing, most notably the Alyce Ardell comedies for producer Joe Rock. By early 1924, Perez was reportedly earning $400 weekly as a Jimmy Aubrey gagman.

Personal life
He was married to the actress Dorothy Earle (1892–1958).

Preservation of films
Ten surviving Perez titles held by the EYE Film Institute Netherlands and the Library of Congress were restored and released on DVD on January 26, 2015, with another 8 films released in February 2018
on The Marcel Pérez Collection, Volume Two.
 Material from fifteen other Pérez "Robinet" short subjects was posted online by the EYE Film Institute Netherlands in the closing months of 2019.
