title: Doraemon: Nobita's Space Heroes

text:
, also known as Doraemon The Super Star 2015 and later as Doraemon the Movie 35th is an anime science fiction action adventure film and the 35th Doraemon film. Released in Japan on 7 March 2015, it commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Doraemon (1979) anime series and the 10th anniversary of the Doraemon (2005) anime. It is similar to Doraemon's 6th movie, Nobita's Little Star Wars (1985).

Plot
One night, a space ship crashes into the hill at dark night. The next morning, Suneo, Gian and Shizuka decide to make a movie about a space-based hero film Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a magical current blockbuster.

Meanwhile, Nobita does rubber band art in front of the little kids, and heads towards the hill where he finds his three friends shooting the film. Gian and Suneo made Nobita perform as the monster, as Nobita wanted to act. Gian beats Nobita as he was a space alien, where Nobita runs away to his house to ask help from Doraemon. After that, the two return to the hill and Doraemon takes a gadget from his pocket, which is a film director called Burger director. They all become space heroes (using a "real-light", which made their costumes real) and with the help from Burger, they started fighting a fake space monster.

Later, an alien from another planet arrive to ask help from the space heroes and they agreed to follow him. On the spacecraft, the alien named Aron reveals himself as the sheriff of Pokkoru planet which is full of mice. He was lucky to escape the pursuit of security personnel of "Recreation Land Space" (who are actually alien pirates). The following morning, Aron and the reconnaissance group enter the Pokkoru planet. After that Aron tries to warn the councilors and public to remain alert, but no one believes him. Nobita discovers some alien pirates so they push him away, where he goes down and drops the star crest down in the wells.

Fortunately, Aron finds Nobita tied by ropes and accidentally left his disguise active knowing that Space Land is sucking the energy plan of the planet to shoot down the Arumasu star. However, Aron and Nobita were discovered by Meba, and Gian and Suneo were arrested earlier by Ogon. Shizuka, Doraemon and Nobita had seen the star drifting toward him, and they knew something was wrong so they rescue them and their friends. Although the rescue was successful, Shizuka was caught by Haido. In order to make Aron's group surrender, he threatens to impale her, but Burger director shows virtual images to scare Haido and save Shizuka.

When all of them shelter, the group began to split and Aron learns the truth about the heroes, but still he praises the group as heroes since they still came to the Pokkoru planet for helping him. The group decides to help save the planet, where they move straight to the tower group Space, while the residents of Pokkoru were unaware of their dangers. Meba and Ogon arrive to block and fight the group, while Haido and his group is in the basement below the tower. Meba attacks Aron and Nobita tries to help, but was accidentally teleported inside the pirates's ship due to the belt on Meba’s waist fell against him, Shizuka then fights and defeats Meba, while Gian also defeats Ogon.

Meanwhile, Doraemon, Suneo, and Aron heads towards the basement, but Haido used his fighter to chase them away. Shizuka and Gian arrive and crashes Haido's fighter, resulting in Haido getting knocked in the crash. After confronting Haido, the group learns the pirates secret to steal diamonds from the Arumasu Star. Nobita fights with Ikaros alone, where he discovers that Ikaros is too weak (due to unavailability of energy from graphite - a major component of the Arumasu star) and quickly defeats him.

After learning the secret out, the group returns to the ship heading to disable launchers, but they were too late because Ikarosu had already triggered it. Luckily, they stops the star explosions after Burger Director rewinds the time Pokkoru planet has not sucked the energy to restore the life on their planet. They save Pokkoru planet from destruction and the residents gradually apologizes to Aron for not trusting him. Later, the group bids Aron farewell and return to Earth.

title: Priest Trustee

text:
The position of Priest Trustee (or Clergy trustee) in the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church is of paramount importance in the administration of the Church, together with the Malankara Metropolitan and the lay trustee. The priest trustee is a priest of order Kasheesha or Cor-Episcopa.

Origin
The system of governing the assets of the Malankara Church by the Community of Trustees was brought about by the historic Cochin Panchayath Verdict of 4 April 1840 (also known as Cochin Award). The verdict insists that the three trustees who constitute the Community Trustees should be elected to those positions. In accordance with this, the first priest trustee was elected in 1869 and the Church Constitution of 1934 gives the definitive account on the election, term, duties and scope of the priest trustee.

Authority of the Priest Trustee
The priest trustee is, by default, a member of the Malankara Association Managing Committee as well as the Working Committee of the Association Managing Committee. As per section C in chapter IV of the 1934 constitution, the three trustees are entrusted with the trusteeship for the Vattipanam (Trust Fund) and the Kottayam Syrian Seminary and the income which have accrued or shall be accruing therefrom.

Election
Section C in chapter IV of the 1934 constitution describes the regulations for election to the position of the associate trustees and their term in office. Clause 93 states: The Association shall elect the Associate Trustees.

Term in office
Until 2006, there was no fixed term duration for the office of Priest trustee. Once elected, a trustee was expected to serve to that capacity until death or deposition. However, trustee Manalil Yakob kathanar set an example by resigning after ten years. In 2006, Clause 93 in the Church constitution was amended to limit the term in office for both Priest trustee as well as Lay trustee to five years, to align with the five-year validity of each Malankara Association.
Clause 93 states: The term of office of the Associate Trustees shall be co-terminus as that of the period of election of the Association members. The office of the associate trustee will continue until another trustee was elected and assumed office. The Association may remove them and appoint others without assigning any reason.

List of Priest Trustees
 Chacko Chandypillai, Thazhath (21 October 1869 - 13 September 1886)
In the Association meeting held at Kottayam Old Seminary on 21 October 1869, presided by Malankara Metropolitan Palakkunnath Mathews Athanasius, Thazhath Chacko Chandypillai was elected as the first priest trustee.
 Kora Yohannan Malpan, Konat (13 September 1886 - 9 March 1890)
During the Association meeting held from 11 to 13 September 1886 at Kottayam Old Seminary which was presided by Malankara Metropolitan Dionysius V, Konat Kora Yohannan was elected as the priest trustee.
 Kora Mathen Malpan, Konat (23 November 1895 - 7 September 1911)
From 21 to 23 November 1895, a meeting of the Association convened at the Old Seminary chaired by Dionysius V during which Konat Kora Mathen Malpan was elected as the priest trustee. He had been given the honorary title of Malankara Malpan in 1890. Later, during the dispute over the authority of the Patriarch of Antioch over Malankara, Konat Kora Mathen Malpan was a staunch supporter of the Patriarch, opposing the Malankara Metropolitan Dionyius VI. This led to the deposition of Konat Kora Mathen Malpan from trusteeship in 1911.
  Mani Paulose, Palappallil (7 September 1911 - 24 December 1955)
Following the removal of Konat Kora Mathen Malpan from trusteeship, the Association meeting held on 7 September 1911 at Kottayam M. D. Seminary elected Palappallil Mani Paulose as the priest trustee. He was the longest serving Priest Trustee in the history of the Malankara Church. As a solution to the threats faced by the Catholicos Baselius Paulose I in the administration of Kandanad diocese from the dissident faction,  Mani Paulose played a central role in inviting the Catholicos to shift the Holy See to Pampakuda on 16 April 1913, from where the Catholicos reigned until his death on 2 May 1913. Paulose I was interred in Pampakuda Cheriyapally. As Priest Trustee, Mani Paulose served to that capacity for 44 years until his death in 1955.

Yakob who had served as secretary to Malankara Metropolitan Vattasseril Dionyius VI during 1925-1934 thus received the interest of Vattipanam (Trust Fund) before and after becoming the priest trustee. In order to establish a particular duration for the term of priest trustees, he set an example by resigning in 1965 after completing ten years in office. In spite of being elected to the order of Metropolitan, he rejected the honor. From 1939, he served as a member of Malankara Association Managing Committee for almost five and a half decades until his death in 1993. Manalil Yakob died on 17 January 1993 and was buried at Yuhanon Church, Manthuruthel.
 T. S. Abraham Cor-Episcopa, Thengumthottathil (28 December 1965 - 28 December 1982)

title: The Right Stuff (Bryan Ferry song)

text:
"The Right Stuff" is a song by Bryan Ferry, the former lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released as the first single from his seventh solo studio album Bête Noire (1987), being Ferry's twenty-fifth single. It was the album's only Top 40 hit in the U.K., peaking at No. 37.

Background
The song was co-written by Johnny Marr and adapted from "Money Changes Everything", the Smiths' instrumental B-side to "Bigmouth Strikes Again". When Marr was asked about the collaboration in a 1989 interview with Sonics he said "He [Ferry] didn’t know who I was. But he was looking for co-writers and someone suggested me to him. Someone played him some Smiths records and he went 'Oh, this guy plays guitar all right!' So he invited me down to the studio. Bryan Ferry was an old hero of mine and it was great to work with him, but the end result was…he’s a bit blow-waved." Guy Pratt, who played bass with Ferry during this period tells it differently in his book. Ferry heard "Money Changes Everything" and had the idea of putting vocals on it. Their then guitar player Chester Kamen, "could play the intro, but couldn't play it" and so Ferry enlisted Marr himself to play on the track.

title: Tori Fatehpur

text:
Tori Fatehpur ( or टोडी फ़तेहपुर), also known as Tori, was a princely state in India during the British Raj. It was one of the Hasht-Bhaiya Jagirs, under the Bundelkhand Agency of British India. Today it is part of Jhansi District in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

History
Tori Fatehpur State was founded in the Bundelkhand region in 1812 by a descendant of the royal family of Orchha Diwan Rai Singh of Baragaon near Jhansi. He had eight sons who were granted Jagirs, including Dhurwai, Bijna, and Tori Fatehpur.

Tori Fatehpur is on a hill near Gursarai, about 100 km from Jhansi. The fort on the hill is more than 300 years old.

A part royal family started living in a town near Jhansi in the late 1880s after a massive drought and adapted a name “Biswari” for survival. After drought state lost all of its trade and other sources of fortune which resulted in downfall of state.

After Indian independence, on 1 January 1950, Tori Fatehpur acceded to the Republic of India and was merged into the Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh.

title: Peter Moore (British politician)

text:
Peter Moore (1753–1828) was an English civil servant of the East India Company and politician.

Life
Born at Sedbergh, then in Yorkshire, on 12 February 1753, Peter Moore was the fifth son of Edward Moore, LL.B., vicar of Over, Cheshire, and Mary his wife. His father dying when he was quite young, he was educated by his eldest brother, Edward Moore, a barrister who had influence with Lord Holland and the Whig party. An appointment in the East India Company's service was found for him.

Moore returned to England a rich man, supplied material to Edmund Burke and Richard Brinsley Sheridan for their attack on Warren Hastings. He became a sort of whip for the radical section of the Whig party, while his manor-house at Hadley, Middlesex served as a rendezvous, with Sheridan a frequent visitor.

In 1796 Moore himself stood as parliamentary candidate for , with Sir Philip Francis, and they obtained a majority of the householders in their favour; but were unseated on the House of Commons resolving that the free men and freeholders alone had a right to vote. In 1802, with Wilberforce Bird, he contested  without success. One of the members, however, was unseated on petition, and Moore, after another contest, was returned on 30 March 1803. The initial cost of his seat was £25,000, but he was re-elected for Coventry in subsequent parliaments (29 October 1806, 11 May 1807, 5 October 1812, 25 June 1818, and 8 March 1820) at comparatively little expense.

Moore took a prominent part in the  election of 1804, as the proposer of Charles James Fox, and many scurrilities were levelled against him. In 1806, when Fox was trying to form a ministry, Moore was selected as second on the Indian council, and was proposing to return to India when the king dissolved parliament. He continued in opposition, and frequently spoke in the house, supported Samuel Romilly and other advanced Whigs, and in 1807 voted in a minority of ten against the Duke of Wellington's Irish Insurrection Bill.

Moore was a member of the Beefsteak Club, and maintained close relations with leading Whigs. He had the memorial tablet placed above Sheridan's grave. He was also noted as promoter of the rebuilding of Drury Lane Theatre, where he served for some time on the management committee, the Highgate tunnel, and the floating of the Imperial Gas Light Company. He became known as a successful manager of private members bills of his time, and after the loss of his seat for Coventry in 1824 continued to promote them.

Company promotion eventually proved Moore's downfall, and in 1825 he left for Dieppe to escape arrest. He gave up nearly all his property for the benefit of persons who had lost money in companies with which he was associated, and spent the remainder of his days in writing memoirs, which remained unpublished.

Moore died at Abbeville in France on 5 May 1828. He is said to have been the last wearer of a pigtail in London society.

Family
Moore married, in India, Sarah, one of the coheiresses of Colonel Richmond, alias Webb (the other became the wife of W. M. Thackeray, the grandfather of the novelist William Makepeace Thackeray). Their children included:

George Peter Moore (baptized 25 May 1778 at St. John’s Church, Calcutta), who was returned for Queenborough in 1806, but vacated his seat at Fox's request, to make way for Romilly.
Macartney Moore (born 7 June 1788; died 15 June 1831, the only son to survive the father, shortly after returning from India), who left two sons, Captain Richard Moore, R.N., and the Rev. Peter Halhed Moore, vicar of Chadkirk, Cheshire, and a daughter, who married Captain Gorle.

The art collector Godfrey Windus was a great-nephew.

title: United States intelligence operations abroad

text:
The United States is widely considered to have one of the most extensive and sophisticated intelligence network of any nation in the world, with organizations including the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, amongst others. It has conducted numerous espionage operations against foreign countries, including both allies and rivals. Its operations have included the use of industrial espionage, cyber espionage. and mass surveillance.

Many of these operations have generated public criticism as being unethical; examples include the overthrow of foreign governments, nonconsensual human experiments, extraordinary rendition, torture, targeted killings, assassinations,  and the funding and training of militants who would go on to kill civilians and non-combatants. Through a combination of hacking and secret court orders against American technology companies, the United States has also employed mass surveillance of ordinary individuals, both American and foreign nationals alike.

Edward Snowden disclosures on global surveillance

A cache of top secret documents leaked in 2013 by ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who obtained them  while working for Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the largest contractors for defense and intelligence in the United States., revealed operational details about the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and its international partners' global surveillance of foreign nationals and U.S. citizens. In addition to a trove of U.S. federal documents, Snowden's cache reportedly contains thousands of Australian, British and Canadian intelligence files that he had accessed via the exclusive "Five Eyes" network. In June 2013, the first of Snowden's documents were published simultaneously by The Washington Post and The Guardian, attracting considerable public attention. The disclosure continued throughout the entire year of 2013, and a significant portion of the full cache of the estimated 1.7 million documents was later obtained and published by many other media outlets worldwide, most notably The New York Times, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Der Spiegel (Germany), O Globo (Brazil), Le Monde (France), L'espresso (Italy), NRC Handelsblad (the Netherlands), Dagbladet (Norway), El País (Spain), and Sveriges Television (Sweden).

These media reports have shed light on the implications of several secret treaties signed by members of the UKUSA community in their efforts to implement global surveillance. For example, Der Spiegel revealed how the German Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) transfers "massive amounts of intercepted data to the NSA", while Sveriges Television revealed the National Defence Radio Establishment (FRA) provided the NSA with data from its cable collection, under a secret treaty signed in 1954 for bilateral cooperation on surveillance. Other security and intelligence agencies involved in the practice of global surveillance include those in Australia (ASD), Britain (GCHQ), Canada (CSEC), Denmark (PET), France (DGSE), Germany (BND), Italy (AISE), the Netherlands (AIVD), Norway (NIS), Spain (CNI), Switzerland (NDB), as well as Israel (ISNU), which receives raw, unfiltered data of U.S. citizens that is shared by the NSA.

The disclosure provided impetus for the creation of social movements against mass surveillance, such as Restore the Fourth, and actions like Stop Watching Us and The Day We Fight Back.  On the legal front, the Electronic Frontier Foundation joined a coalition of diverse groups filing suit against the NSA. Several human rights organizations have urged the Obama administration not to prosecute, but protect, "whistleblower Snowden": Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Transparency International, and the Index on Censorship, inter alia.

Cyber espionage

Snowden's revelations confirmed that the United States, together with Israel, conducted Operation Olympic Games, a covert and still unacknowledged campaign of sabotage by means of cyber disruption, directed at Iranian nuclear facilities. As reported, it was one of the first known uses of offensive cyber weapons.  Started under the George W. Bush administration in 2006, Olympic Games was accelerated under President Obama, who heeded Bush's advice to continue cyber attacks on Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz. Amongst other things, they created the computer worm Stuxnet, which spread beyond Iran's nuclear facilities to the internet, causing collateral damage in other nations such as India and Indonesia.

Industrial espionage

In 1994, United States trade officials were accompanied with CIA agents to various international locations such as London and Geneva to spy on Japanese auto executives and government officials during Japan-U.S. negotiations on automotive trade.

An article in the New York Times wrote:

Targeted killings and assassinations

In April 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama placed Anwar al-Awlaki on a list of people whom the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was authorized to kill because of terrorist activities. The "targeted killing" of an American citizen was unprecedented. Al-Awlaki's father and civil rights groups challenged the order in court. Al-Awlaki was believed to be in hiding in Southeast Yemen in the last years of his life. The U.S. deployed unmanned aircraft (drones) in Yemen to search for and kill him, firing at and failing to kill him at least once, before succeeding in a fatal American drone attack in Yemen on September 30, 2011. Two weeks later, al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen who was born in Denver, was killed by a CIA-led drone strike in Yemen. Nasser al-Awlaki, Anwar's father, released an audio recording condemning the killings of his son and grandson as senseless murders. In June 2014, a previously classified memorandum issued by the United States Department of Justice was released, justifying al-Awlaki's death as a lawful act of war.

Intelligence activity by location

Europe

France

In 1993, the CIA's Paris station launched an economic espionage operation to gain an advantage in negotiations over the 1994 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. They attempted to use a female operative posing as a public relations director for a save-the-rain-forest foundation as a honeypot trap to ensnare Henri Plagnol, an aide to French prime minister Édouard Balladur. However, Plagnol was warned by French counterintelligence officers who had seen through the plot and told him to play along. Over the course of two years, the French used Plagnol to turn the tables on the CIA, uncovering multiple CIA operatives and ultimately publicly expelling the CIA Paris station chief along with other key agents from the country.

Germany

The CIA recruited over a dozen spies working in multiple German industries, including a double agent in German intelligence. These spies were uncovered in raids on the Ministry of Defense by German authorities in 2014. Angela Merkel, whose personal cellphone was tapped by the NSA, ordered the CIA's Berlin station chief to leave the country.

In May 2021, Denmark's public service broadcaster, DR, revealed that the Danish Defence Intelligence Service helped the NSA spy on European leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel from 2012 to 2014, in a scheme codenamed as "Operation Dunhammer". Intelligence was also collected on other officials from Germany, France, Sweden and Norway.

Middle East

Iran

In 1953, the CIA worked with the United Kingdom to overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran led by Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh who had attempted to nationalize Iran's petroleum industry, threatening the profits of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, now known as BP.  Declassified CIA documents show that Britain was fearful of Iran's plans to nationalize its oil industry and pressed the U.S. to mount a joint operation to depose the prime minister and install a puppet regime. In 1951 the Iranian parliament voted to nationalize the petroleum fields of the country.

The coup was led by CIA operative Kermit Roosevelt, Jr. (grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt). With help from British intelligence, the CIA planned, funded and implemented Operation Ajax. In the months before the coup, the UK and U.S. imposed a boycott of the country, exerted other political pressures, and conducted a massive covert propaganda campaign to create the environment necessary for the coup. The CIA hired Iranian agents provocateurs who posed as communists, harassed religious leaders and staged the bombing of one cleric's home to turn the Islamic religious community against the government. For the U.S. audience, the CIA hoped to plant articles in U.S. newspapers saying that Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi's return to govern Iran resulted from a homegrown revolt against what was being represented to the U.S. public as a communist-leaning government. The CIA successfully used its contacts at the Associated Press to put on the newswire in the U.S. a statement from Tehran about royal decrees that the CIA itself had written.

The coup initially failed and the Shah fled the country. After four days of rioting, Shi'ite-sparked street protests backed by pro-Shah army units defeated Mossadeq's forces and the Shah returned to power.

The CIA subsequently used the apparent success of their Iranian coup project to bolster their image in American government circles. They expanded their reach into other countries, taking a greater portion of American intelligence assets based on their record in Iran.

In August 2013 the CIA admitted that it was involved in both the planning and the execution of the coup, including the bribing of Iranian politicians, security and army high-ranking officials, as well as pro-coup propaganda. The CIA is quoted acknowledging the coup was carried out "under CIA direction" and "as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government." The National Security Archive said it that while it "applauds the CIA's decision to make these materials available, today's posting shows clearly that these materials could have been safely declassified many years ago without risk of damage to national security."

East Asia
The New York Times reported in May 2017 that "the Chinese government systematically dismantled C.I.A. spying operations in the country starting in 2010, killing or imprisoning more than a dozen sources over two years and crippling intelligence gathering there for years afterward. Current and former American officials described the intelligence breach as one of the worst in decades."

title: Moose: Chapters from My Life

text:
Moose: Chapters From My Life is the 459-page autobiography by the Academy Award-winning songwriter, Robert B. Sherman.  "Moose is a collection of fifty-four autobiographical short stories, arranged in such a way as to express a larger narrative."  The book was edited by Sherman's younger son, Robert J. Sherman, who also provided the general layout, cover art and graphic design for the book.  Other than certain pages in the "My Time" photographic sections of Moose, (which were completed after the author's death on March 6, 2012) the majority of the book, including its innovative arrangement of chapters, was created during the author's lifetime and under his personal supervision.  Moose was published by AuthorHouse Publishers of Bloomington, Indiana in association with AuthorSolutions, Penguin Random House Company affiliates.  First publication of the work occurred posthumously, on November 26, 2013.  The majority of short stories which comprise the book, were written between 1993-2004 with one or two stories having been known to exist as early as 1945.  Although early "mock-up" versions of the book were circulated among Sherman's close friends and members of his family in 2004, according to the editor's introductory chapter, "About Moose", mass publication had to be delayed "for reasons too cumbersome to delve into here."  Both the book and its author were credited in the 2013 Walt Disney film release, Saving Mr. Banks which starred Academy Award-winning actors Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks. Actor B. J. Novak portrayed a young Robert Sherman in the film.  Several scenes from the film drew direct inspiration from Moose.  This was done with the author's consent.

Background
Moose is a collection of short stories taken from the author's life.  Chapters were deliberately organized out of sequence.  The purpose of this untraditional structure was to introduce the reader to the author's life story thematically rather than as a recounting of chronological events.  Publishers were initially unimpressed with the author's stylistic approach, but the author felt strongly that the use of this technique was essential to the overall success of the narrative.  This disagreement was, in part, what delayed publication by nearly a decade.

Contents

Handwritten inscription

On the front page of the book is a facsimile of a handwritten letter (excerpt) written by Sherman to his parents (in 1944) as an 18-year-old US Army soldier, immediately prior to his deployment to Europe to fight in World War II.  The letter was found by Sherman's son among his papers, in an envelope labeled, "To Be Opened Upon the Event of My Death".  The excerpt reads: "If God placed my mission in this world as writing - I would have written for the benefit of my fellow man, and for his pleasure and observance of himself and his actions, (his injustices.)  I would have spent my life devoted to showing man to himself in all his truth."

Text

Most of the book is written in prose text.  Moose is divided into seven major sections which are subdivided into an aggregate 54, true, anecdotal short stories.  (The author was lauded for his candor.)  Chapters cover a range of intriguing and/or transformative moments in the author's life.  Subjects range from his service in the United States Army during World War II when he led the first squadron of eight men into Dachau Concentration Camp during its liberation, to his years working as a staff songwriter for Walt Disney at Disney Studios.  Through the text, the author introduces the reader to scores of colorful real life characters (some famous, some who are otherwise unknown).  Moose concludes with the author reflecting on the life he has led.  The author makes these reflections, largely from his reading room in the Mayfair district of London, England, by then, his adopted home.  (Sherman moved from Los Angeles to London shortly after his wife, Joyce's death in 2001; immediately after the 2002 premiere of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium.

My Time (sections 1-4)
Interspersed between the major literary sections of Moose is a comprehensive, four-part series of photographic chapters entitled, "My Time".  The "My Time" sub-chapters are an annotated, visual overview of Robert Sherman's life and relationships (both personal and professional).  The four sub-chapters provide a linear context to what might otherwise read as a disparate collection of short stories.  The photographic sub-chapters are a succinct yet comprehensive account of Sherman's relationship with his brother and songwriting partner, Richard M. Sherman (the other half of the Academy Award-winning Sherman Brothers songwriting team).  How affable the brothers' relationship actually was, has been a subject of debate since the 2009 release of Walt Disney Pictures's The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story and the 2013 release of Walt Disney Pictures's Saving Mr. Banks.  The making of both films is touched upon in the "My Time" sections.  "My Time" also covers many of the other significant relationships that the writer had during his life including his marriage to his wife Joyce (of 48 years), his relationship with his parents, employers, collaborators, friends and children.

The title "My Time" is an allusion to the author's previous joint-autobiographical effort, Walt's Time: From Before To Beyond which was published in 1998.  The three main sections of Walt's Time are "Walt's Time" (covering the Sherman Brothers' years of service to Walt Disney), "Al's Time" (a reference to the Sherman Brothers' father, Tin Pan Alley songwriter Al Sherman) and "Our Time" which refers to the twenty-five years that followed the death of the Sherman Brothers' two respective mentors (Walt Disney's death in 1966 and Al Sherman's death in 1973) and the publication of the book (Walt's Time) in 1998.

In Moose: Chapters From My Life, the header, "My Time" refers to Robert Sherman's life post-"Walt's Time", post "Al's Time" and post-"Our Time".  Although the four sections cover Sherman's entire life, the meaning of the "My Time" sub-chapters is revealed through the fourth and final section, and only readily apparent provided the reader is already familiar with the aforementioned sections of Walt's Time. The fourth sub-chapter illustrates Sherman's zeal for life despite the many losses he suffered.  Also implied is the author's desire to live his life on his own terms, a theme consistent throughout the book as a whole.  "My Time" (part 4) covers Sherman's life experiences during the fourteen years between the publication of Walt's Time and the completion of Moose (1998-2012).

Critical acclaim

  Charles Shubow of BroadwayWorld.com wrote: "It's a fascinating book about a fascinating man. It follows his life growing up and his time during World War II. But the parts about Disney and the making of Mary Poppins are worth the read...I highly recommend the book."
  George Taylor of The Disney Review wrote: "I will say, right off the bat, that it's an incredibly enjoyable read."
  Jeff Heimbuch of Mice Chat wrote:  "We know Robert as one half of the prolific song writing team, but this book proves that he was also a fantastic writer as well."
  Tim Calloway of The Mouse Castle wrote:  "The book is a wonderful telling of episodes in Robert Sherman's life from his harrowing service during World War II (a battle wound would force him to walk with a cane for the rest of his life) to his award-winning success at Disney writing songs with his brother Richard."
  Phil Mounsey of Publishing Today wrote: "AuthorHouse UK is proud to be the publisher of this fine memoir, Moose,  by one of the few in the world, who was an insider to the magic and reality of Disney and Hollywood in their pomp and who can truly say he was there; Robert B. Sherman."
  Dizradio.com wrote:  "Robert B. Sherman brings his true story to light in his autobiography, Moose: Chapters From My Life. Sherman holds nothing back in the candid book, from the horrors he saw as a frontline liberator in World War II to his successful career alongside Walt Disney in the 1960s and beyond.

Saving Mr. Banks meets Moose
In 2010, mutual acquaintances of Moose editor, Robert J. Sherman, and Saving Mr. Banks producer Alison Owen (Ruby Films) arranged a meeting in London.  (Owen's associate, Josh Davis, represented Owen at the meeting.)  Excerpts from an early version of the Kelly Marcel/Sue Smith screenplay were given to Sherman to bring to his father, Robert B. Sherman, for his review. (The scenes given to Sherman were ones which specifically featured the Sherman Brothers as characters.  After reviewing the script sides, Robert B. Sherman agreed to provide an advance copy of the chapter in Moose which specifically dealt with the lead up to and making of Walt Disney's film Mary Poppins.  The chapter was entitled, "'Tween Pavement and Stars".  In exchange for their help, Owen agreed to list the book and author in the final credits of the film.  This was the only compensation the Robert Shermans received.  In the summer of 2012, a few months after Robert B. Sherman died, Robert J. Sherman (serving at that point in the capacity of "Trustee" of the Robert B. Sherman Estate) met again with the Saving Mr. Banks creatives including producer Alison Owen, director John Hancock and writer Kelly Marcel.  A few days prior to the meeting, Sherman had been given a revised version of the full script. (Principal photography was to commence in two weeks' time.)  Elements of the Moose excerpt had been incorporated into the new script.  One important contribution is apparent in the scene in between Tom Hanks (as "Walt Disney") and Emma Thompson (as "Pamela Travers") during which Disney derides Travers for insisting that there is "No Red In London".  Although the characters speaking the dialogue are different than those portrayed in the book, the dialogue is nearly identical.  About the "No Red In London" sequence, scriptwriter Kelly Marcel later blogged, "Anything that shocked me and surprised me went in, because that's how you make drama, you know? I think the one that freaked me out the most, that I could not believe, was that she wouldn't allow the color red to be in the film."

British Book Launch –  A Spoonful of Sherman
On January 6, 2014, Moose editor, Robert J. Sherman produced, wrote and emceed a two night cabaret at the St. James Theatre in London entitled A Spoonful of Sherman.  The event marked the official launch of his father's (posthumously released) autobiography: Moose: Chapters From My Life.  After performances, Sherman participated in a book signing.  The show was billed as "A Celebration of the Life, Times and Songs of Robert B. Sherman" and was extremely well received by the crowd and the critics alike.  The cast consisted of four rising West End theatre stars including Charlotte Wakefield, Emma Williams, Stuart Matthew Price and Greg Castiglioni.  Musical Direction was by Colin Billing and the show was directed by Stewart Nicholls.  The show was produced by MusicWorld (UK). Joanne Benjamin and Clive Chenery of The Entertainment Business were general managers, James Albrecht of St. James Theatre Productions running front of house.

A Spoonful of Sherman received outstanding notices, garnering four stars from Clive Davis of the London Times as well as four and five star reviews from dozens of other papers and online reviewers.  The show covered ninety years of Sherman songwriting (including material written by the Sherman Brothers' father, Al Sherman (who first started writing music in the early 1920s.)  Songs written by the younger Robert Sherman were also included in the show as well) but the focus of the evening was the music and lyrics of Robert B. Sherman and the Sherman Brothers.  "In deciding which songs to select, particular emphasis was put on material that would propel the narrative of Robert B. Sherman's life forward for the audience.  My narration would then fill in the gaps.  Of course almost all of the famous stuff makes it in. Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Winnie the Pooh, The Jungle Book and "It's A Small World (After All)" are all represented, but I'm particularly pleased that we were able to include some unexpected gems in the mix as well."  A Spoonful of Sherman was so successful in its own right, that the show was brought back a second time in 2014.  In 2015 an original cast recording was released both digitally and on CD by SimG Records. In 2017 a pared down version of the show returned to London and it was announced in December 2017 that the show will be embarking on its first UK/Ireland tour in 2018.

title: Matthew K. Thomas

text:
Matthew K. Thomas (born 2 November 1948) is the son of Kurien Thomas and the present Chairman of the Fellowship of the Pentecostal Churches in India. He is the present President of Central India Theological Seminary and also the President of Central India Outreach. He was also Secretary of the Pentecostal World Fellowship and presently serves on its Advisory Committee.

Early life
Matthew K. Thomas was born to Kurien Thomas and Annamma Thomas on 2 November 1948. In his autobiography, Kurien Thomas mentions the events surrounding Matthew's birth:
On the 2nd of November, 1948, our second son was born. He was delivered in the house attended by a village midwife. One of the believers, a sister, was also present. She told me that according to the custom of the place, as soon as the child was born, the midwife should be given a gift of some kind. I did not have even one penny to my name; what could I give her? I went outside and began pacing up and down in the courtyard. I prayed earnestly: "Lord, please let me not be ashamed before this Hindu woman. Give me something I can give to her." I was still praying when the postman came with a money order for ten rupees. As I received the money the baby was born. At once I put a few rupees into the midwife's hand. I can't help thinking that God had a quartz timepiece long before man had one, because He is always on time.

Matthew grew up in Itarsi and went on to Sagar University where he finished his M.Sc. in Zoology. He then began to teach in a College in Hoshangabad for sometime, before leaving India for the United States. On 2 March 1974, Matthew was married to Aleyamma who was also working as nurse in America. Matthew became successful as a businessman in US, but sooner realized that he was called to ministry in India.

Return to India and Ministry
In 1992, he returned to India to join with his father in the ministry. He was appointed as the Principal of Central India Bible College, which under his leadership, grew into Central India Theological Seminary. The biographical note on Matthew's website states:
Dr. Thomas, a flourishing businessman in the States, responded to God’s calling and left his secular orientations to enter into full-time ministry in Central India. Under his leadership, Dr. Thomas established Central India Outreach (CIO) which embodies House of Hope (Orphanages), Central India Theological Seminary (CITS), Central India Vocational Instructional Centre (CIVIC), Central India Mercy Clinic (CIMC), Central India Restoration Centre Lives Empowered (CIRCLE), and Indovision 20/20.

title: Joseph Hallett II

text:
Joseph Hallett II (1656–1722) was an English nonconformist minister and dissenting academy tutor.

Life
The son of Joseph Hallett I (1628?–1689), he was born and baptised on 4 November 1656. He was probably educated by his father, was ordained in 1683, and on the erection of James' Meeting (1687), the meeting-house in Exeter was appointed his father's assistant. He had a similar post under George Trosse, his father's successor, and on Trosse's death (11 January 1713) became pastor. Towards the end of the year James Peirce became his colleague.

Hallett ran in Exeter a nonconformist academy, which became noted as a nursery of unorthodox theological views. Its opening has been dated as early as 1690; it had a well-established reputation when John Fox entered it in May 1708. No suspicion of heresy attached to it until 1710, when Hallett's son Joseph III became an assistant tutor, and brought in discussion of William Whiston's views. Rumours spread as to the freedom of christological opinion permitted in the academy, until in September 1718 the Exeter assembly (a mixed body of Presbyterian and Congregationalist ministers) called for a declaration of belief in the Holy Trinity to be made by all its members. Hallett was the first to comply; his declaration, though adopted by some and not formally objected to by any, was not satisfactory to the majority. In November the 13 trustees who held the property of the Exeter meeting-houses applied to their ministers for further assurances of orthodoxy, and failed to obtain them.

On the advice of five London ministers, of whom Edmund Calamy was one, the case was laid before seven Devon Presbyterian divines, whose decision led the trustees to exclude (6 March 1719) Hallett and Peirce from James' Meeting, and on 10 March from all the meeting-houses. In Calamy's view the trustees exceeded their powers; a vote of the congregation should have been taken. Hallett and Peirce secured a temporary place of worship, which was opened on 15 March. They were still members of the Exeter assembly. This body in May proposed that all its members should subscribe Thomas Bradbury's "gallery declaration" (see Salter's Hall controversy); at this point 56 did so, while 19 refused and seceded. On 6 May a paper was drawn up, apparently by Hallett, whose signature stood first, in which the charges of Arianism and of baptising in the name of the Father only are disclaimed.

A new building, called the Mint Meeting, was erected for Hallett and Peirce (opened 27 December 1719); the congregation numbered about 300. Hallett's academy did not long survive these changes; it was closed in 1720. A list of 37 of his students was in the Monthly Repository, 1818, p. 89: they included James Foster and Peter King.

Hallett died in 1722.

Works
Hallett published:

Twenty-seven Queries addressed to Quakers, and printed in Gospel Truths Scripturally asserted … by John Gannacliff and Joseph Nott, 1692.
Christ's Ascension into Heaven, 1693.
A Sermon, … at the Funeral of … Geo. Trosse … to which is added a Short Account of his Life, 1713.

text:
Tomáš Zdechovský (born 2 November 1979) is a Czech politician and businessperson. Since 2014 he has been a Member of the European Parliament with KDU-ČSL, which is part of the European Peoples Party.

Background
Tomáš Zdechovský has earned three master's degrees. Two of them at the University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice (Pastoral Assistant and Educator of Free Time). The third he made at the Masaryk University in Media studies. He also holds a bachelor's degree in Political Communication which he earned at the Salesian Pontifical University.

2004 he founded the PR and communication company Commservis.com, which he ran in a position of Chief Executive until he was elected as a Member of the European Parliament MEP. He also managed its subsidiary company WIFI Czech republic.

He is a member of the KDU-ČSL and in 2007–2008 served as its regional manager in the Pardubice region. He ran for the European Parliament for the first time in 2009 on the 14th place of party list, however he was not elected.
He received much appraisal and great response for his nomination speech at the Congress of KDU-ČSL, held in June 2013 in Olomouc. In European Parliament Elections 2014 he ran for the KDU-ČSL for the second time. He was placed on the 3rd place of the party list and was elected a Member of the European Parliament for the 8th legislature of the house. In 2019 he ran for the European Parliament for the third time and was reelected.

On 2 December 2019 he announced his intention to run for chairman of KDU-ČSL. However, at a party conference he announced, that he had decided to withdraw his candidacy and instead he ran for the deputy chairman of the party and was eventually elected.

Member of the European Parliament
Since 2014 Tomáš Zdechovský has been dealing the Michalák Case. He criticises the practice of the Norwegian Barnevernet and Norwegian child protection policy as a whole, and demands its change. In late 2014, together with his fellow MEP Petr Mach, he began to actively engage in a campaign to return of Eva Michaláková's two sons, who had been taken away by Norwegian local Child Welfare Service. Both MEPs organized money collection for counsel in mother's litigation. He also initiated an open letter to the Norwegian authorities, which was signed by nearly 50 MEPs from different countries and factions in the European Parliament.
He is also the author of the introduction to the book Stolen Childhood: The Truth About Norway's Child Welfare System. The book was published in 2019 and deals with the issue of taking children away from their parents by Norwegian child protection service Barnevernet, the causes of the great influence of this institution and the reasons of the frequent criticism of Barnevernet for human rights violations.

Several times Tomáš Zdechovský has also commented on the European migrant crisis and in July 2015, he visited a couple of refugee camps in Sicily. He said, most of the people in local refugee camps were actually economic migrants. Furthermore, his criticism is aimed at Greece, which according to his words has neglected the border controls and registration of newcomers. In this respect he also published an article in a renowned scientific publication by the Potomac Institute in Washington D.C.

As an MEP, Tomáš Zdechovský also called for further investigation of Andrej Babiš on the grounds of alleged fraud in obtaining EU subsidies, which were designated for small businesses and where actual ownership of a farm and convention center called Stork Nest by Mr. Babiš was allegedly concealed. Mr. Zdechovský also referred to alleged conflict of interest of Andrej Babiš in receiving EU subsidies for the Agrofert group, due to suspicion, that Babiš is still actual owner even when a member of the Czech government.

As an MEP, he has also pointed out the problem of mileage fraud, which concerns the second-hand car market in the Czech Republic in particular and other EU countries in Central and Eastern Europe in general. Tomáš Zdechovský argues, that the introduction of the Car-Pass System, which is being applied in Belgium since 2006, throughout the EU is an effective way to tackle and prevent such fraud, (illicit manipulations with odometers) throughout the EU.

Tomáš Zdechovský has also long been involved in the cases of Czech truck drivers in England and France, who have gotten into trouble when their vehicle checks revealed that illegal migrants had got into the cargo area without consciousness of drivers.

Poet and author
Tomáš Zdechovský is co-founder of the group of poets called Friends of the Silent Poetic Touch (Přátelé tichého dotyku) and the author of its manifesto protesting against the cultural decline of Czech society. Literary critics count him among the representatives of the contemporary Catholic modern poetry. Zdechovský, however, considers himself a representative of the "dotekysmus" (from Czech dotek = touch), which emphasises the playfulness and simplicity of the verses that have human touch and emotion, which is built on the emotional experience of verses.
He has published four collections of poems: Ze zahrady mé milé (From the Garden of my Beloved One), which was  translated into Hebrew, some poems have also been translated into English, German, Italian, French, Russian and Ukrainian), Odpusť mým rtům (Forgive My Lips), Intimní doteky (Intimate Touches) and the most recent one is Kapka (The Drop).

In 2013, he published his first novel Nekonečné ticho (Infinite Silence), which is about the relationship between a young man with an older woman. The book was illustrated by painter and graphic artist Klára Klose.

In late 2008 Tomáš Zdechovský was one of the founders of an initiative called Save Baby Jesus (in Czech Zachraňte Ježíška) which aims at defending Czech Christmas traditions against Santa Claus. Similarly, together with Roman Celý, Christian Democratic Member of the Czech parliament, both criticised the replacement of the "peaceful" Czech All Souls Day (dušičky) in local schools with that "crazy" American holiday, Halloween.

In 2012, he was the main organiser of the proposal for the establishment of a bishopric for the region of Vysočina. The signature initiative was supported by former chair of the KDU-ČSL Jan Kasal, regional chairman TOP 09, Jiři Blazek and the Regional Councillor, Tomáš Škaryd (ČSSD). However the Roman Catholic parish in Jihlava, distanced itself from the suggestion and dubbed these initiative rather ridiculous.

Since December 2017 he has also been a member of the Advisory Board of the Inter-Parliamentary Council to Combat Terrorism.

History
On 19 April 1999, two Swiss journalists, Pierre Grosjean and Gabriel Sigrist, created Largeur.com, an online magazine which publishes investigations, columns and news reports on a daily basis. Organized under five headings (Glocal, Kapital, Pop Culture, Technophile and Latitudes), the articles focus on new trends, original viewpoints and exclusive information
Largeur.com soon expanded into a media agency which produces original content for Swiss media publications and magazines, books and other products (print and online) for companies and other institutions. In July 2009, these activities were grouped into a new entity, LargeNetwork. The online magazine retained its original name.

Grosjean and Sigrist were previously involved in the creation of the daily newspaper Le Temps and both worked for Le Nouveau Quotidien.
