title: Hannah Playhouse

text:
The Hannah Playhouse is a theatre venue situated on the corner of Courtenay Place and Cambridge Terrace in central Wellington, New Zealand. The Hannah Playhouse was given by Sheilah Winn (first cousin of Edith Campion, mother of Jane Campion) and named after her grandfather, Robert Hannah, a very successful businessman. It was carefully designed and built to house Downstage Theatre.

Background
Sheilah Winn (born Sheila Maureen Hannah, 1917–2001) announced in 1965 she would make a gift of NZ£150,000 (). available to build a substantial theatre venue, named in honour of her Hannah family. Her grandfather Robert Hannah founded the R. Hannah & Co. shoemaking and retailing nationwide chain. The design for the Hannah Playhouse took place in the mid 1960s, initially designed by Ron Parker. He was followed by architect James Beard.

In 1968 the Hannah Playhouse Trust was formed to use Winn's gift to build the theatre venue on the site of the building containing Downstage Theatre at the tip of Mount Victoria on the corner of Courtenay Place and Cambridge Terrace. There were many delays in starting the project and galloping inflation meant additional funds had to be raised and, under the circumstances, Sheila Winn announced she was unwilling to provide them. Ultimately the Arts Council managed to cover the gap.

Location and design
The theatre was in the end built in 1973 and replaced the Downstage Theatre company's earlier premises upstairs on the same site. It diagonally faces and is within metres of Wellington's Embassy Theatre made famous by the world premiere of Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, in Majoribanks Street the Campion family business and over at the end of Roxburgh Street, for many years, "Monde Marie" the bijou coffee house of Mary Seddon, only daughter of Tom Seddon. BATS Theatre is on the opposing side of the main thoroughfare. The Hannah Playhouse building was home to Downstage until 2013 when Downstage closed. The building itself is still often referred to as Downstage Theatre.

Raymond Boyce MBE, London-trained at The Old Vic and brought to New Zealand by Richard Campion was a leading New Zealand theatre set and costume designer. He was on the board of Downstage when the playhouse was built. Boyce became design consultant to the architects influencing the design of the flexible stage area and auditorium. It was designed to be a dinner theatre with a flexible space that could accommodate an audience seated for dining, with options for the staging of the performance that could change for each show.

It currently seats approximately 250 people in the auditorium, when it opened it had a capacity for 170 people at dining tables.

Ownership
The Hannah Playhouse Trust has been obliged to sell almost a half share of the building to the Wellington City Council. The Council has taken full ownership of the nearby Embassy Theatre.

Architectural significance
The design of the Hannah Playhouse is a building which sits in the 1960s 'brutalist' category which refers to the raw, undoctored concrete that features in both the exterior and interior of the building.

The building is part of a small group of unique performance spaces because of its asymmetric design, they include the Heinrich Tessenow's Hellerau Festpielhaus (1911) in Dresden, Germany, Manchester Royal Exchange (1976) in England, and São Paulo's Teatro Oficina (1984) in Brazil.

It featured in an exhibition about modern architecture in 2010 called Long Live the Modern at the Dowse Art Museum in Wellington, New Zealand. In the book that accompanied the exhibition the building is described thus: "It asserts itself ... by adopting a sculptural, asymmetric roof form that addresses the corner site; and by taking its lead from brutalism's uncompromising, anti-bourgeois spirit, typified by the enthusiasm for unpainted off-form concrete." (Christine McCarthy)

1978 NZIA New Zealand Architecture Award
2006 NZIA Award for Enduring Architecture

title: Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015

text:
Malta participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Warrior" written by Elton Zarb and Matt Muxu Mercieca. The song was performed by Amber. The Maltese entry for the 2015 contest in Vienna, Austria was selected through the national final Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2015, organised by the Maltese broadcaster Public Broadcasting Services (PBS). The competition consisted of a semi-final round and a final, held on 21 and 22 November 2014, respectively, where "Warrior" performed by Amber eventually emerged as the winning entry after scoring the most points from a five-member jury and a public televote.

Malta was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 21 May 2015. Performing during the show in position 5, "Warrior" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final on 23 May. It was later revealed that Malta placed eleventh out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 43 points.

Background

Prior to the 2015 contest, Malta had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-seven times since its first entry in 1971. Malta briefly competed in the Eurovision Song Contest in the 1970s before withdrawing for sixteen years. The country had, to this point, competed in every contest since returning in 1991. Malta's best placing in the contest thus far was second, which it achieved on two occasions: in 2002 with the song "7th Wonder" performed by Ira Losco and in the 2005 contest with the song "Angel" performed by Chiara. In the 2014 edition, Malta qualified to the final and placed 23rd with the song "Coming Home" performed by Firelight.

For the 2015 contest, the Maltese national broadcaster, Public Broadcasting Services (PBS), broadcast the event within Malta and organised the selection process for the nation's entry. PBS confirmed their intentions to participate at it on 11 July 2014. Malta selected their entry consistently through a national final procedure, a method that was continued for their 2015 participation. On 14 July 2014, PBS announced that the national final would take place one week after their hosting of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 on 15 November 2014, making use of the same venue and stage utilised for the junior contest.

Before Eurovision

Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2015
Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2015 was the national final format developed by PBS to select the Maltese entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. The competition consisted of a semi-final and final held on 21 and 22 November 2014, respectively, at the Malta Shipbuilding in Marsa. Both shows were hosted by Daniel Chircop and Lyona Xuereb Gatt and broadcast on Television Malta (TVM) as well on the broadcaster's website tvm.com.mt, while the final was also broadcast on the official Eurovision Song Contest website eurovision.tv.

Format
The competition consisted of twenty songs competing in the semi-final on 21 November 2014 where the top fourteen entries qualified to compete in the final on 22 November 2014. Five judges evaluated the songs during the shows and each judge had an equal stake in the final result. The sixth set of votes were the results of the public televote, which had a weighting equal to the votes of a single judge. Ties in the final results were broken based on the entry which received the higher score from the judges. The five members of the jury that evaluated the entries during both the semi-final and final consisted of:

 Ola Melzig (Sweden) – Technical director of various Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest events
 Francesco Biasia (Italy) – Fashion designer
 Gohar Gasparyan (Armenia) – Head of Delegation for Armenia at the Eurovision Song Contest
 Owen Galea (Malta) – News coordinator
 Adriana Zarb Adami (Malta) – Director of Bupa Malta

New rules and regulations for the competition allowed for the artist, author and composer of the winning entry to change parts of the winning song or the entire song for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Competing entries
Artists and composers were able to submit their entries between 28 and 29 August 2014 to the PBS Creativity Hub in Gwardamanġa. Artists were also required to submit a cover version of another song along with their entry application. Songwriters from any nationality were able to submit songs as long as the artist were Maltese or possessed Maltese citizenship. Artists were able to submit as many songs as they wished, however, they could only compete with a maximum of two in the semi-final and one in the final. 2014 national final winner Firelight were unable to compete due to a rule that prevented the previous winner from competing in the following competition. 134 entries were received by the broadcaster. On 26 September 2014, PBS announced a shortlist of 48 entries that had progressed through the selection process. The twenty songs selected to compete in the semi-final were announced on the TVM programme Xarabank on 3 October 2014. In order to present the competing songs to the public, the semi-finalists filmed promotional videos for their entries which were released on 20 October 2014. Among the selected competing artists were former Maltese Eurovision entrants Ludwig Galea (performing as part of the group Trilogy) who represented Malta in the 2004 contest, Glen Vella who represented Malta in the 2011 contest, and Gianluca Bezzina (performing as part of the group L-Aħwa) who represented Malta in the 2013 contest. Daniel Testa represented Malta in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008.

Shows

Semi-final
The semi-final took place on 21 November 2014. Twenty songs competed for fourteen qualifying spots in the final. The running order for the semi-final was announced on 28 October 2014. The show was opened with a guest performance by the 2014 Maltese Junior Eurovision entrant Federica Falzon performing "Diamonds".

Final
The final took place on 22 November 2014. The fourteen entries that qualified from the semi-final were performed again and the votes of a five-member jury panel (5/6) and the results of public televoting (1/6) determined the winner. The show was opened with a guest performance of "Rise Like a Phoenix" performed by Austria's Eurovision Song Contest 2014 winner Conchita Wurst, while the interval act featured further performances by Wurst performing "Heroes" as well as performances by local singer George Curmi and 2014 Maltese Eurovision entrants Firelight performing "Backdrop of Life", "Coming Home" and "Talk Dirty". After the votes from the jury panel and televote were combined, "Warrior" performed by Amber was the winner.

Preparation
Following Amber's win at the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2015, PBS announced that "Warrior" would undergo remastering for the Eurovision Song Contest. The composers of the song Elton Zarb and Matt Muxu Mercieca worked with Gordon Bonello and Kevin Abela to produce the revamped version. A 57-piece orchestra was also used for the recording. The release of the song's new version and official music video was announced on 9 March 2015 at the PBS Creativity Hub in Gwardamanġa and made available online on the broadcaster's website tvm.com.mt and the official Eurovision Song Contest website eurovision.tv. The music video for the song was filmed earlier at a 400 year old abandoned house in Rabat, Malta.

At Eurovision

The Eurovision Song Contest 2015 took place at the Hall D of the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria and consisted of two semi-finals on 19 and 21 May, and the final of 23 May 2015. According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. In the 2015 contest, Australia also competed directly in the final as an invited guest nation. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into five different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 26 January 2015, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Malta was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 21 May 2015, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show.

Once all the competing songs for the 2015 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Malta was set to perform in position 5, following the entry from Montenegro and before the entry from Norway.

The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast in Malta on TVM with commentary by Corazon Mizzi. The Maltese spokesperson, who announced the Maltese votes during the final, was previous 2004 contest entrant Julie Zahra.

Semi-final

Amber took part in technical rehearsals on 13 and 16 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 20 and 21 May. This included the jury show on 20 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries.

The Maltese performance featured Amber on stage alone in a long black dress with lace sleeves and a black ribbon around her waist. As the song progressed, the LED screens transitioned between blue flame-like effects exploding outwards from a sphere and orange and red flames. The performance also utilised pyrotechnics in the form of shooting flames.

At the end of the show, Malta was not announced among the top 10 entries in the first semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Malta placed eleventh in the semi-final, receiving a total of 43 points.

Voting
Voting during the three shows consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released shortly after the grand final.

Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Malta had placed twelfth with the public televote and fifth with the jury vote in the second semi-final. In the public vote, Malta scored 32 points, while with the jury vote, Malta scored 84 points.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Malta and awarded by Malta in the second semi-final and grand final of the contest, and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the two shows:

The women's doubles defending champions were Mexicans Paola Longoria and Samantha Salas and they won gold for a third straight time. In the final, they defeated American Aimee Ruiz, a former World Champion doubles player, and Janel Tisinger in two straight games. Longoria and Salas beat the Chilean team of Angela Grisar and Carla Muñoz in the semi-finals, which was a rematch of the 2012 final.

In the other semi-final, Ruiz and Tisinger needed to come back after losing the first game against the Ecuador team of Veronica Sotomayor and Maria Paz Muñoz, winning the match in a tie-breaker.

Tournament format
The 2014 World Championships was the first competition with an initial round robin stage that was used to seed players for an elimination qualification round.

title: San Ferdinando (church), Naples

text:
The Church of San Ferdinando is a historic church located on the Piazza Triesti e Trento, near the Royal Palace of Naples, in central Naples, Italy.

History
The original church at the site was dedicated by the Jesuits to Saint Francis Xavier, and was built in 1636. Reconstruction in mid 1650s was entrusted to Cosimo Fanzago. In 1767, with the expulsion of the Jesuits from the realm, the church was granted to the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George who dedicated the church to Saint Ferdinand III of Castile, the patron saint of the reigning king of Naples Ferdinand IV.

The vault has a fresco with the story of Saint Francis Xavier and other Jesuits by Paolo De Matteis. The church contains statues by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro and Giuseppe Sanmartino. The main altarpiece is a canvas depicting San Ferdinando by Federico Maldarelli.

title: Chaar Bayt

text:
Chaar Bayt is a 400-year-old traditional performing art, performed by a group of artists or singers. Chaar Bayt or Four Stanzas is a form of folklore and performing art. It is still alive today mainly in Rampur (Uttar Pradesh), Tonk (Rajasthan), Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) and Hyderabad of Telangana (erstwhile Andhra Pradesh). Sangeet Natak Academy recognized it as a traditional folk art form.

Origin
The poetic form traces back to the 7th century in Arabia with the name Rajeez. The origin of the word "Chaar Bayt" can be traced back to the Persian language where it refers to a four-stanzas poetry in which each stanza is composed of four lines. The poetry is sung accompanied by Daf, a percussion instrument of Arab origin.
This art form came from Persia to India via Afghanistan. The widely accepted source is the Afghani soldiers in the Mughal army brought this art to India.

Composition
Earlier, it was composed in Persian and Pashtu, however, later it came to be composed in Urdu also. The form gradually became embedded in local culture and began to borrow its idiom from the folk. The "Chaar Bayt" poetry exudes the same sensuousness as the Urdu Ghazal.

Present artists groups
 Babban Sultani performing group from Rampur in Uttar Pradesh.
 Badshah Khan and troupe from Tonk in Rajasthan.
 Masood Hashmi and troupe from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh.
 Some local troupes from Hyderabad of Telangana.

Theme of the art
Usually, "Chaar Bayt" is a long poem with a chain of four stanzas describing wars, bravery, romance and sometimes spirituality. In earlier periods it has a Sufi mystic spiritual theme, later socio-political issues became the dominant subjects of the theme.

title: Certified health executive

text:
A certified health executive (CHE) is a person who has met the requirements established by the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL). The certification program began in 1984.  It is to provide a Canadian credential that recognizes effective leadership in Canadian health services. The CHE Program is a capabilities-based certification program, developed collaboratively with college members, staff, and board. In 2013, the CHE program was revised to align with the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework. Given the constant changes within the Canadian health system, all elements of the CHE Program are regularly reviewed and revised by the CHE program committee and the professional standard council.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply for the CHE Program a person needs to be a member of the college in good standing and must fulfill one of the two requirements below:

 Hold a Master's degree (copies of degrees, diplomas, certificates, etc. required) with a minimum of two consecutive years' experience in Canadian health leadership within the last three years
 Hold a Baccalaureate degree (copies of degrees, diplomas]], certificates, etc. required) with a minimum of five consecutive years' experience in Canadian health leadership within the last seven years and be able to demonstrate progressive and cumulative educational/ professional advancement in health leadership by applying for a prior learning assessment recognition (PLAR)

Criteria

In order to receive their CHE designation:
 Application process
 LEADS online self-assessment
 Career development plan
 Online exam
 LEADS in Action Project
 Participant program evaluation

Program Overview

LEADS Online Self-Assessment

The LEADS Online Self-Assessment helps individuals at all levels of leadership to better understand their skills and behaviors with respect to the LEADS framework.

Career Development Plan

Health leaders bring a different set of foundational capabilities and needs to their career development. This involves the development of a learning plan to help personalize their professional growth within a well-established framework; reflecting on their leadership experience and feedback, translating these insights into action, and involving their manager/director in the process (where applicable). It also serves as an ongoing reference point for the CHE candidate, clarifying their expectations for acceptable progress.

Exam

Candidates must write the online exam within 6 months of completing and submitting the Career Development Plan. Candidates not writing the exam within the 6-month timeframe will be required to pay an administration fee to extend the deadline. The online CHE exam is a duration of three hours and questions focus on health system issues across the continuum of care and across a variety of health sectors. It is composed of multiple choice and short answer questions. The questions are aligned with the five domains of the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework. These domains are: (1) Lead Self; (2) Engage Others; (3) Achieve Results; (4) Develop Coalitions; (5) Systems Transformation.

LEADS in Action Project

The LEADS in Action Project is relevant to the context and practicability of health leader’s environments. It is flexible, enabling candidates to work on case studies either by choosing a predetermined topic or by focusing on an area of experience and/or interest from their workplace. Candidates are given two options on how to complete this part of the CHE Program.

Option 1: Candidates may have interest in working with one of the selected case studies which profile issues within national and international organizations.

Option 2: Candidates may have a recent health leadership issue in the workplace that they have been asked to analyze – prospectively or retrospectively.

Whichever route is chosen, candidates will demonstrate leadership capability through summarizing findings in a Briefing Note. Through the Briefing Note, candidates will identify, analyze and recommend the decisions to be made, or what decisions need to be made to resolve the issue. LEADS in Action projects submitted later than March 1 of any year may not be processed in time to permit the candidate to convocate in the same year.

Candidate’s Evaluation of the CHE Program

This element measures the relevance of the CHE Program to the expectations of the individual CHE candidate. Each candidate is asked to evaluate all program elements, including the link with the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework. Candidates’ evaluations are a formal part of the quality improvement review process for the CHE Program.

Certification Maintenance

As a certified member you have two obligations in order to maintain your CHE designation:
  Continue to be a member in good standing with the College. Only members of the College in good standing may use the CHE (Certified Health Executive) designation. If College membership is discontinued the CHE designation will be revoked.
  Obtain the necessary Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits, as per the College policy and guidelines. The College has long seen Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as an integral part of the certification process. It is an activity through which Certified Health Executives and Fellows demonstrate their commitment to lifelong learning and to remaining current in their chosen profession. The College will grant 7 MOC category 1 credits to candidates upon successfully completion the CHE Program.

The approach for the MOC credits element is individualized and designed to provide a foundation for lifelong learning and a link to ongoing MOC and the College Fellowship Program. Foremost among possible MOC activities are the professional development opportunities presented by the College and its chapters, which have been specifically designed to meet the needs of health leaders.

title: Sequenza VI

text:
Sequenza VI is a composition for solo viola by Luciano Berio, part of his series of fourteen Sequenze.

History
Sequenza VI was written in 1967 for Serge Collot, to whom the score is dedicated. It also forms the core of two other Berio compositions, Chemins II for viola and nine instruments (1968), and Chemins III (1969), which adds an orchestra to the forces of Chemins II. Walter Trampler, for whom Chemins III was written, believed it had in fact been composed first and the Sequenza then extracted from it. The relationship of the three works is described by Berio as being "something like the layers of an onion: distinct, separate, yet intimately contoured on each other; each new layer creates a new, though related surface, and each older layer assumes a new function as soon as it is covered". Two further works were evolved from Chemins II: Chemins IIb for orchestra (1969) and Chemins IIc for bass clarinet and orchestra (1972).

Analysis
Sequenza VI exploits the harmonic possibilities of a fundamentally melodic instrument. It does this in two ways: first, by implying harmonies with melodic lines circling continuously through a small number of fixed pitches and, second, by presenting long series of three- and four-part chords in which the pitches are kept sounding by means of across-the-stings tremolo.

The work alternates these two gestural ideas (melodic and chordal), producing a sectional form based on changes in texture, gestural predominance, and shaping processes. The sections may be summarized as a pattern of AA'BA''B', with the A' and A'' sections each divided into two subsections. The opening A section is an exposition dominated at first by the tremolando chords, but also using short melodic segments to articulate phrases and create internal fluctuations. These melodic figures gradually increase in prominence over the course of this section. The A' section develops the chordal gestures, while the B section focuses instead on the melodic ideas, using the tremolando gesture as an articulative device at first. In a reversal of the process found in the exposition, the tremolando chords gradually increase in frequency over the B section. A'' restates the chordal material and, in its second subsection, introduces a heightened level of activity. The concluding B' section then serves as a coda.

title: Isaac Jenkins Mikell House

text:
The Isaac Jenkins Mikell House is an imposing Roman Revival residence in the style of grand Italian villa that was built in 1853–1854 by Edisto Island cotton planter and slave owner Isaac Jenkins Mikell for his wife, Mary Martha Pope. The house should not be confused with Peter's Point Plantation, an Edisto Island plantation built in about 1840 by Isaac Jenkins Mikell which is also sometimes referred to as the Isaac Jenkins Mikell House. During the time of the construction of the newer house, Isaac Jenkins Mikell kept 154 people enslaved there.

The southern facade (overlooking Montagu Street) is dominated by a pedimented portico with six columns with composite capitals carved from cypress and ornamented with rams’ heads. In addition to the main house, there is a kitchen building and separate coach house on the premises. A 1939 photograph shows the slave quarters.

The house was bought in 1935 by the Charleston Free Library and served as a public library until the early 1960s when it was sold and restored as a private residence.  In 2008, the house sold for $4.8 million to Manhattan socialite Patricia Altschul. The house is frequently featured on the Bravo television reality show, Southern Charm; Altschul is the mother of one of the program's regular cast, filmmaker Whitney Sudler-Smith, who is also executive producer of the show.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

title: Armonía Somers

text:
Armonía Liropeya Etchepare Locino (7 October 1914 – 1 March 1994) was a Uruguayan feminist, pedagogue, novelist and short story writer. She was sometimes referred to as Armonía Etchepare de Henestrosa or, by her pseudonym, Armonía Somer (sometimes spelled Armonía Sommers). A member of the literary movement Generación del 45, Somers wrote in a transgressive style. Her contemporaries included Silvina Ocampo, Griselda Gambaro, Luisa Valenzuela, Elena Garro, and Peri Rossi.

It was thought impossible that her first novel, La mujer desnuda (The Naked Woman, 1950), could have been written by a woman because of the shocking erotic content. After her second novel De miedo en miedo was published, Somers moved to her new house in the summer resort Pinamar, about  from Montevideo. When not there, she lived on the 16th floor of the skyscraper Palacio Salvo.

Early years
Born in Pando, Somers was the eldest of three daughters of
deeply catholic mother María Judith Locino and the anarchist businessman Pedro Etchepare. Her basic studies occurred in a Spanish primary school in Pando, being her the only girl admitted there. After that, she continued her studies at the Normal school of Montevideo.

Career
In 1933, she finished her university studies in pedagogy at the University of the Republic, where she became interested in the teaching of young people. She taught in different schools after that and so became aware of the problems facing different social environments, which eventually led her to publishing essays such as Educación en la adolescencia (1957), winner of the Departmental Council of Montevideo. Other works related to the topic were El adolescente de novela y su valor de testimonio and Ann Sullivan Macy, la forja en noche plena.

In 1950, she was sent as a delegate of the Pedagogical Museum of Montevideo to attend the Inter-American Seminar on Primary Education. Later, she was invited by the government of France to collaborate with the organization of the prison system in that country. After her "scandalous" debut with the erotic novel La mujer desnuda (1950), she became a delegate of the Biblioteca y Museo Pedagógico del Uruguay in 1957 to the Inter-American Seminar on primary education to the Organization of American States (OAS) and UNESCO, being appointed deputy director of the Museum a few years later. In 1953, when she took the manuscript of El derrumbamiento (1948) to the print shop for a second edition, she came to meet the publisher Rodolfo A. Henestrosa, whom she married two years later.

In 1960, Somers was invited by the government of France to move to that country and study the organization and operation of rehabilitation centers and correctional institutions; she received a special invitation from the Secretariat of the Second Congress of the United Nations for the prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders, held in London. The following year, she was invited by the Academic Exchange Service of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bonn (DAAD) to visit that country to advance her studies in her field. She was the founder and editor of the journal Documentum in that year. In 1962, she represented Montevideo at the United Nations during the Seminar on Education for Development and Social Progress; being appointed director of the Library and Pedagogical Museum in Uruguay.

Between 1962 and 1971, she was director of the National Center for Educational Documentation, receiving the UNESCO fellowship for studies on pedagogical documentation in Paris, Dijon, Geneva and Madrid in 1964. She becomes editor of Boletín informativo de la Biblioteca y Museo Pedagógicos, Anales and Enciclopedia de Educación (1967–71). From then on, she stopped teaching to devote herself to writing, perhaps because of the incompatibility of a very active life in her career and her literary ambitions. Her work grew slowly with long pauses and periods of silence, one between 1953 and 1963 and another between 1969 and 1978. She died in Montevideo in 1994.

Selected works
Somers' work is often considered part of the "45 Generation" of Uruguayan literature. Some books that she read in the library of her father would be decisive in her literary career. Somers acknowledged influence from the life of writers and thinkers like Peter Kropotkin, Giacomo Leopardi, Charles Darwin, Dante Alighieri, Edmund Spenser, and others. Alberto Manguel translated Somers' works.

In Alberto Paganini, Alejandro Paternain, and Gabriel Saad's 1969 book Cien autores del Uruguay, Somers is described ahead of the generation to which she belonged, her artistic direction having more in common with the "Generation of Crisis." Other critics classify her, along with Juan Carlos Onetti, within what Angel Rama called the "imaginative literature" that broke out the mold of realistic literature.

title: Alpina Comune

text:
The Alpina Comune is a heterogeneous population of domestic goats widely distributed in the Alps of northern Italy, particularly in the regions of Lombardy and Piemonte. It is highly variable in size, in morphological characteristics such as the type, colour and pattern of its coat and the shape and carriage of its ears, and in type of use. It does not display any of the uniformity characteristic of a breed, other than a consistent hardiness and adaptation to mountain terrain. It is however officially recognised and protected as one. The name Alpina Comune, "common", is more used in Piemonte; in Lombardy it may be called Alpina Locale, "local", or simply Nostrana, "ours".

Distribution and numbers

The Alpina Comune is raised throughout Piemonte, from the mountains of the province of Cuneo to those of the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, and in a large area of the Lombard Alps including the Brianza, the Canton of Ticino, the Grisons, the Lario, the Alpi Orobie, the Val Camonica, the Valchiavenna and the Valtellina. Management is extensive: the animals are kept on medium or high alpine pasture in the summer months.

The Alpina Comune is classed as one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution; a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders. At the end of 2013 the registered population was variously reported as 497, almost all of which were in Val d'Aosta, and as 510. Figures for the total size of the population vary widely. It was estimated at 22,000 in 1973, and in 2001 at 55,000. Another estimate in 2002 reached the same figure, with 40,000 in Piemonte and 15,000 in Lombardy, while a population of 100,000 was estimated both in 2005 and in 2008.

Use

The Alpina Comune is raised both for meat and for milk. The milk yield is approximately  per lactation of 180–270 days. The milk is used to make cheeses, either pure caprino or mixed-milk, including Toma, Raschera, Bra and robiola. Kids are usually slaughtered at a weight of ; the meat of adult animals is used to make salumi such the violino,  a goat's-meat prosciutto. The products vary from place to place depending on the local traditions of the area.

title: Bibliothèque Méjanes

text:
The Bibliothèque Méjanes is the municipal public library of Aix-en-Provence, France. Inaugurated on 16 November 1810 as a part of the Aix-en-Provence City Hall, the library moved into a former match factory in 1989. Since 1993, the library has served as the center of the Cité du Livre, which joins the expansive library, a screening room for independent films, and numerous rooms and workspaces for events. It also houses the Fondation Saint-John Perse and the Association des amis de Jules Isaac.

The archives of the library include medieval works dating to the 12th to 15th centuries, archives of local newspapers from the 19th and 20th centuries, and some 5,500 posters issued between the 17th and 20th centuries. The collections have been protected since 1897.

Location
It is located in the city center of Aix-en-Provence, France, at 8-10 rue des Allumettes.

History
The Bibliothèque Méjanes has its origins in the vast collections of Jean-Baptiste Marie de Piquet, Marquess of Méjanes (1729 - 1786), a huge book lover, who held several posts in administration of Aix-en-Provence during his lifetime. Upon his death in 1786, his will handed over his library of nearly 80,000 volumes to the States of Provence, under the condition that they "maintain an open library in the city of Aix-en-Provence for the benefit of the general public, for which these books will be intended" and by stipulating that the books cannot be lent. The general assembly of Provence quickly accepted the conditions expressed in his will for the legacy of his collections, and appointed an architect, J. A. Raymond, to arrange for a location that could house the new library. In the meantime, the books were transported to the City Hall of Aix-en-Provence. The administrators actualized the will of the deceased marquess by identifying and bringing together his collections, which had been until now scattered amongst his numerous properties. These collections were consolidated temporarily at the City Hall of Aix-en-Provence while Raymond searched for a permanent building.

During the French Revolution (1789 - 1799), libraries in France became revolutionary stockrooms. However, the growing library of the former marquis of Méjanes remained protected at Aix-en-Provence City Hall.

The library opened to the public in 1810. It was located in three large rooms on the second floor of the City Hall. Its collections broadened in the nineteenth century from the commitment of the state to cultural preservation and expansion, but also from generous donations from individuals: those of Dr. Baumier, Auguste Pecoul, and donations smaller in number that nonetheless contributed to the expansion of the collections.

In the twentieth century, the library experienced periods of prosperity, but also periods of desertion: in the inter-war period, Pol Neveux, French general inspector of libraries, came every year to the library to help with its maintenance and to at the least ensure that the broken windows were replaced. The Bibliothèque Méjanes remained at City Hall until 1989. It then moved into a closed match factory, which was named the Cité du Livre four years later. Since, the library has focused on developing their resources and location for the benefit of the public.

Librarians
The library collection was started with a bequest from the estate of Jean-Baptiste Marie de Piquet, Marquess of Méjanes, and its first librarian was Jean-Joseph Rive. Since, the librarians of the Bibliothèque Méjanes have been:

Jean-Joseph Rive (1730 – 1791), first librarian, named 26 December 1786.

 Corinne Prévost, named 1 January 2009.
 Rémy Borel is the current librarian, since 2013.

Network
This library of about 96,000 square feet is the central point of a public reading network which has three annexes. The library has also managed a "bibliobus" since 1995 which services districts far from the city center, to make available books, newspapers, and videos to those without convenient access to the library.

The library is fully accessible for people with reduced mobility or visual impairment, achieved through equipment for reading and Internet use: a tele-magnifying machine, a reading machine, and computer and adapted software.

title: Bis-Quits

text:
The Bis-Quits were a roots rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, active in the 1990s. Its members were Will Kimbrough, Tommy Womack, Mike "Grimey" Grimes (bass guitar) and Tommy Meyer (drums).

Womack has described the band's style as "kinda like NRBQ meets the Replacements." The Washington Post had previously drawn the NRBQ comparison in 1993.

The band released only one album, The Bis-Quits, on Oh Boy Records in 1993. It received a four-star (out of five) rating from AllMusic and a B+ from Entertainment Weekly. It was particularly noted for its song "Yo Yo Ma", which was described by No Depression as "a Chuck Berry-by-way-of-Dan Baird rocker".

The Washington Post called the songs "loose and funny" and deemed the album "often clever and catchy." It also singled out Kimbrough's pop sense and the melodies of the best songs. However, the lyrics came in for criticism.

Nonetheless, the group and its work enjoyed lasting recognition:

 In 2004, a feature in Cincinnati City Beat about Kimbrough referred to the Bis-quits as an "indie cult" band and their album as "much beloved."

 In 2021, as part of its 40th anniversary celebration, Oh Boy Records highlighted a different artist or album from its roster on a weekly basis. First up: the Bis-Quits, who were the subject of a short documentary. The Bis-Quits album was also reissued, becoming available for the first time on vinyl.

title: Roy Billinton

text:
Roy Billinton (born September 14, 1935) is a Canadian scholar and a Distinguished Emeritus Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2008, Billinton won the IEEE Canada Electric Power Medal for his research and application of reliability concepts in electric power system. In 2007, Billinton was elected a Foreign Associate of the United States National Academy of Engineering for "contributions to teaching, research and application of reliability engineering in electric power generation, transmission, and distribution systems."

Billinton is known in academia and the power industry for his work on power system reliability evaluation. He is the author or co-author of eight books dealing with power system reliability. Two of these books, now in their second editions, have been republished in Chinese and one in Russian. His first book, published in 1970, is considered to be the first book in English on the subject of power system reliability.
These books have been used worldwide as research and study textbooks.  He is the author or co-author of over 950 technical papers related to his research with over 525 publications in international refereed journals. Over 400 papers were published in Conference Proceedings in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other countries.

Billinton's other areas of significant contribution include the probabilistic evaluation of transient stability, overall system reliability incorporating a hierarchical system framework, common cause and dependent component outages, adverse weather outage models and the development of the Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS).

Billinton was a co-founder of the Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems International Society in 1997 and has been on the board of the society as a director and the chair since its inception.

Academic career

Billinton obtained B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the University of Manitoba, Ph.D. and D.Sc. degrees from the University of Saskatchewan, and received the University of Saskatchewan Distinguished Researcher Award in October 1993. He joined the University of Saskatchewan as an assistant professor in 1964, after working in the System Planning and Production Divisions of Manitoba Hydro. He became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1980, and was selected a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering in 1999.

In addition, Billinton served the College of Engineering as executive director of the University of Saskatchewan 'Canadian International Development Authority (CIDA)'/Inner Mongolia Engineering College Project and as the University of Saskatchewan member on the CIDA/Nepal Engineering College Consortium. He served as chair of the Consortium for several years. His contributions to international activities at the University of Saskatchewan were recognized by presenting him with the J.W. George Ivany Internationalization Award in 2000.

Billinton supervised over one hundred and thirty graduate students. Over forty of these students obtained Ph.D degrees. His teaching skills have been recognized by receiving the IEEE Outstanding Power Engineer Educator Award in 1992 and the IEEE Canada Outstanding Engineer Educator Award in 2001.  After holding a number of academic responsibilities at the University of Saskatchewan, including serving as an assistant professor, associate professor, professor, head of the Department of Electrical Engineering, assistant dean, associate dean, and acting dean. Billinton retired and became a professor emeritus effective July l, 2003.

Research areas

Billinton's area of research is electric power system reliability, economics and performance. He co-founded the University of Saskatchewan Power System Research Group and developed a wide range of techniques to evaluate the reliability of engineering systems, from simple configurations to complex systems such as large electricity generation, electric power transmission and electric power distribution systems.   His research has applied and studied the well-being approach in the system operating domain, in generating capacity planning and in composite system reliability evaluation. These studies include the effects of variable wind power and are considered to be significant contributions to power system reliability research. Billinton has made a significant contribution to the development and application of quantitative techniques for past performance and predictive assessment of power system reliability.

Utilization of Markov models
Billinton's work involves both repair and replacement activities. An important initial contribution by Billinton to the power engineering literature was the utilization of Markov models to incorporate component repair and spare component provisions. These models were applied to evaluate the benefits of spare transformers and mercury arc valves in high voltage direct current transmission converter stations, such as those being considered by Manitoba Hydro for their Nelson River development. This was an important practical application of Markov modeling. Markov models are now routinely used in many power system reliability applications.

Incorporation of variable resources
One important area of research that arose from earlier studies at Manitoba Hydro was the recognition and need to quantitatively evaluate the operating risk associated with adding large generating units to a relatively small electric power utility.  This concern resulted in a major area of study on spinning or operating capacity reliability assessment that incorporated load forecast uncertainty, rapid start and hot reserve considerations, and the incorporation of interruptible loads. These studies were completed many years ago but are now being reconsidered and extended to incorporate renewable energy sources. The increasing penetration of wind power in modern electric power systems introduces new dimensions in risk evaluation in both the planning and operating domains. Considerable progress has been made in incorporating the inherent variability associated with wind power in both generating capacity adequacy and security evaluation.

Cost of customer interruptions
One of the most visible areas of Billinton's research is that of reliability cost/worth evaluation involving customer power interruption costs. This research extends the calculation of conventional reliability indices to include customer damage in the form of increased monetary costs due to power supply failures. This is now known as value-based reliability assessment (VBRA), in which the unreliability costs are added to the capital and operating costs to produce the total cost value used in project decision making. The VBRA process involves having component reliability data, the ability to calculate suitable load point reliability indices and applicable customer damage costs. These three requirements are highly visible contributions in Billinton's list of journal and conference publications.

Impact on industry
Billinton's research work and related industrial activities have provided considerable assistance in the development of models, methods and standards for component and system reliability assessment. His contributions to the IEEE Standard developments, the CEA Equipment Reliability Information System (ERIS) and Electric Power System Performance Assessment (EPSRA) systems and the research and development of reliability models were recognized by the IEEE by presenting Billinton with the Charles Proteus Steinmetz Award in 2008. Billinton has provided consulting services to all the major Canadian electric power utilities and many other organizations around the world. He has presented over 100 individual utility courses dealing with power system reliability evaluation.

IEEE involvement
Billinton has been very active in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He joined the IEEE Application of Probability Methods (APM) Subcommittee in 1964 and subsequently served a three-year term as its chairman. He has served on many Task Forces (TF) and Working Groups (WG) over the past fifty years. These include the Performance Records for Optimizing System Design (PROSD) WG, the T & D Component Outage Data TF, the Deterministic Transmission Criteria TF, the Bulk Power Indices TF (chair) and numerous others. He has been involved in the development and subsequent creation of three important standards in the area of power system reliability assessment.  He became a fellow of the IEEE in 1978.

The Roy Billinton Power System Reliability Award was initiated in 2010 by the IEEE Power & Energy Society to honor Billinton and "to recognize outstanding individuals for their contributions to reliability of electric power systems."

Canadian Electricity Association
Billinton had considerable connection over a long period of time with the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA). He joined the CEA in 1962 while working for Manitoba Hydro. He served as CEA's Chair of the Power System Reliability Subsection, the System Planning and Operating Section and the Engineering and Operating Division. He is a founding member of the CEA Consultative Committee on Outage Statistics and served as its chair for over twenty-five years. Under his guidance, the CEA has developed and operates, what is considered the most comprehensive power system outage data collection system in the world.

The Equipment Reliability Information System (ERIS) collects and produces component outage data for generation and transmission systems. The Electric Power System Performance Assessment (EPSRA) protocols cover bulk system performance assessment, significant power interruptions and service continuity data. The ERIS and EPSRA methodologies developed for collecting data using a common set of definitions are now accepted as Canadian electric power industry standards. Both ERIS and EPSRA are national systems that have the strong support of Canada's electric power utilities. The models and techniques developed in Billinton's research program have provided considerable impetus to the development of suitable protocols for component and system outage data collection.

His contributions to the CEA and Canada were recognized by giving him the CEA Centennial Award for distinguished service to the Canadian electric power industry in 1991.

title: Kërçisht i Poshtëm

text:
Kërçisht i Poshtëm is a village in the former Maqellarë Municipality in Dibër County in northeastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Dibër. It is located near the Macedonian border, on the mountain Dešat.

History
Kërçisht i Poshtëm (Dolna Kërçishta) is recorded in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the vilayet of Upper Dibra with 13 households. The anthroponymy recorded depicts an overwhelmingly Slavic character, although a single household head bearing a typical Albanian personal name is recorded; Ozgureci, brother of Nenko.

A demographic Bulgarian study published in 1878, reflecting statistics of the male population from 1873, stated that the village's population consisted of 80 households with 76 Bulgarian Christians and 140 Slavic Muslims.

Nearly 40 members of the Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps were natives of the village and Kërçishti i Epërm.

During the first World War occupying Austro-Hungarian forces conducted a census (1916-1918) of parts of Albania they held and of Kërçisht i Poshtëm its ethnic demographics they recorded 314 Albanians while its religious composition was 314 Muslims. Linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli consider the overall census results to be accurate and reflective of much of the ethnic and religious demographics of the area during that time.

A 1930 report listed the village as having 60 houses.

During the 2000s linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli seeking to corroborate villages cited in past literature as being Slavic speaking carried out fieldwork in villages of the area. Linguists Steinke and Ylli noted that unlike the Gollobordë region, the villages of the Maqellarë administrative unit area do not have any Muslim Slavic speaking inhabitants.
