Doula Mouriki (; 1934–1991) was a Greek Byzantinologist and art historian. She made important contributions to the study of Byzantine art in Greece.

 Education
Doula Mouriki was born in 1934 at Ampelokepi (near Aigio). She earned degrees in history and archaeology in 1956 from the University of Athens. From 1956 to 1957, she received a scholarship to visit the École pratique des hautes études and the Collège de France, where she studied under André Grabar and Paul Lemerle. Afterwards, she returned to the University of Athens to earn a degree in French literature in 1958.

In the early 1960s, Mouriki was first hired as a temporary staff member by the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and shortly thereafter as a principal research assistant under Manolis Hatzidakis at the Byzantine and Christian Museum. She later attended Princeton University, studying with Kurt Weitzmann. At Princeton, Mouriki earned an MFA in 1968 and a PhD in 1970, completing her doctoral dissertation on miniatures in Byzantine manuscripts of Cosmas Indicopleustes' Christian Topography. She holds the distinction of being the first woman to earn a PhD from the university's Department of Art and Archaeology.

 Career
After receiving her PhD, Mouriki taught at the National Technical University of Athens, where she remained for the rest of her career. She was the first woman to receive the title of professor in the university's School of Architecture. Mouriki also served as a member of the administrative council of the Greek Archaeological Society, as a corresponding member of the Istituto di studi bizantini e neogreci, and on an advisory committee for the Greek Ministry of Culture on the preservation of historical monuments at Mistra.

Mouriki's areas of research included late medieval Cypriot icons, Middle Byzantine-period mosaics, and Palaiologan-era monumental painting programmes in Greece. She also produced two papers on Georgian fresco cycles. Many of her publications focused on Byzantine and Orthodox iconography, including that of the Virgin Mary, as well as the development of "regional schools" of medieval Orthodox painting. Her 1985 monograph on the mosaics of the Nea Moni of Chios was awarded the Gottfried von Herder Award.

Mouriki died on 25 November 1991 in Athens, Greece.

title: Iota Beta Chi

text:
Iota Beta Chi () is a Canadian national sorority. There are two inactive chapters in Atlantic Canada to date; one in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the other in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Between these two chapters their membership totals over 300 members.

There are three different divisions of Iota Beta Chi: the active chapters which recruit and are run by undergraduate members; the alumnae chapters which are made of Iota Beta Chi alumnae; and the Headquarters, which is composed of volunteering members of Iota Beta Chi's alumnae.

History

Founding (Alpha chapter)

Iota Beta Chi Sorority came to be after its founding mother Gwen (Butler) Butcher originally planned to join another sorority during her first semester at Dalhousie University. She decided that it was not the right fit for her and shortly afterward she had a conversation with a friend of hers, which ended with her deciding to start a sorority of her own.

With the help of brothers from local fraternities (one from the local Sigma Chi chapter and another from the local  Phi Kappa Pi chapter), as well as multiple female friends including Lorraine Wasson, Jessica Maddison and Kristy Childs, she created Iota Beta Chi.

The official founding date of Iota Beta Chi Sorority is January 6, 1997. On this date, the founding sisters: Gwen, Lorraine, Jessica and Kristy; presented themselves to the Dalhousie University campus in hopes to recruit new members. While the winter of 1997 was not successful, these founding members did not give up and tried again in the fall of 1997, this time with seven new members. This chapter of Iota Beta Chi is known as the Alpha chapter, and has continued to thrive.

Beta chapter

Sarah Simons started her first year at University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, NB. She noticed a lack of Greek letter organizations for women and wanted to bring that experience there. Sarah reached out to the local Zeta Psi's chapter to find out where to start and eventually started researching different sororities. She happened to come across Iota Beta Chi and she saw the ideals and felt that they matched what she wanted in a sisterhood.

Sarah approached the Alpha chapter with her interest in opening a Beta chapter and after talking with Lorraine, a founding member, she learned all about the sorority she wanted to be a part of. With Lorraine's help and the help of the Zeta Psi's, she organized and executed her first recruitment period in the winter semester of 2001. Sarah was successful with 6 initial members becoming founding sisters of the Beta chapter: Sarah Simons, Marge Atkinson, Amy Lister, Erin Sheridan, Lindsey Thompson and Brandy White.

Symbols

Crest

The crest of the Sorority consists of three ribbons overlapping to create a circle. The three ribbons are burgundy, white and old gold respectively. The edges of the ribbons overlap the following way: the burgundy overlaps the white, the other end of the white ribbon overlaps one end of the old gold ribbon, and the other end of the old gold ribbon overlaps the lower end of the burgundy ribbon. When depicted, the old gold ribbon is always on the bottom, with the burgundy ribbon on the left side of the crest and the white ribbon on the right side (when viewing the crest). The outer edges of each of the ribbons curl back in to form much smaller circular shape.

Other Important Symbols

Jewel: Garnet

Animal: Wolf

Philanthropy
In the past the Alpha chapter has worked closely with local food banks, women shelters, children's hospital, Relay for Life and Ronald McDonald House. The Beta chapter also works with women shelters, yearly Run for the Cure races and other events for women's empowerment.

title: Fernando García de Hita

text:
Fernando García de Hita (or de Fita; floruit 1097–1125) was a Castilian nobleman, traditionally considered the founder of the noble House of Castro. He governed the lordships of Hita and Guadalajara, and frequently attended the royal court under King Alfonso VI and Queen Urraca.

Parentage
"Fernando García de Hita" is a conventional name. Contemporary documents only record Fernando with his patronymic, which may also be spelled "Garcés" or "Garciaz" and indicates that his father's name was García. In one charter, Queen Urraca refers to Fernando as "our cousin, Sir Fernando García" (uobis annaia don Ferrando Garciez). In another, she refers to Fernando's second wife as "my cousin" (mea cogermana). The ancestries of both Urraca and Fernando's second wife are well known and they were not blood relations, the charters can only refer to a blood relation between Urraca and Fernando, simplest to explain by viewing Fernando as the son of Urraca's uncle, King García II of Galicia.  Were this the case, Fernando would probably have been born to a mistress while García was in captivity.  Other evidence points to Fernando being the son of Count García Ordóñez de Nájera.  The Muslim historian Ibn Abi Zar recorded that a "son of Count García" (Iben al-Zand Garsís) held the towns of Guadalajara and Hita.  Were Fernando legitimate son of Count García by his first wife, the royal princess Urraca Garcés of Navarre, he would likewise be a cousin of Queen Urraca.

Career
In twelfth-century León and Castile, it was uncommon for the lords of the southern frontier—whose primary responsibility was defence against the Almoravids—to frequently attend the itinerant royal court. Fernando seems to have done both. He was given charge of several frontier fiefs (tenencias) and still managed to witness to twelve royal charters during the reign of Urraca. He was the royal official (alcalde) in charge of Guadalajara and Medinaceli in 1107. According to the Anonymous Chronicles of Sahagún, in 1111 Fernando convinced Count Henry of Portugal to break his alliance with King Alfonso I of Aragon and Navarre, and then negotiated a renewed alliance between Alfonso and Urraca after the latter distanced herself from Count Henry. The Historia Compostellana also refers to the aid a certain "Count Fernando" gave his relative, Queen Urraca, at this time, but historians are divided as to whether this is a reference to Fernando García de Hita, since there is no other evidence that he ever received the title of "count".

Wives and children
Fernando's first wife was Tegridia.  Based on her son being called sobrinus of Count Rodrigo Martínez, historian Pascual Martínez Sopena concluded she was Tegridia Martínez, a sister of Count Rodrigo and daughter of Count Martín Flaínez and his wife Sancha Fernández, while Jaime de Salazar y Acha concluded she was Tegridia Fernández, sister of Sancha and aunt of Count Rodrigo. Either would make her cousin of Eilo Alfonso, wife of powerful count Pedro Ansúrez. José María Canal Sánchez-Pagín simply calls her a member of the Ansúrez family. She died before her husband, leaving him two sons: Gutierre Fernández de Castro and Rodrigo Fernández de Castro.

Fernando married his second wife, Stephanie (Estefanía), daughter of Count Ermengol V of Urgell, probably in early 1119, while she was still quite young. On 12 November 1119 Fernando had a grant of bridewealth (carta de arras) drawn up for his second wife. He bestowed on her his half of properties at Castrojeriz and Cerrato, which he had acquired with his first wife and which had been divided between him and his children by Tegridia at her death. He also granted Stephanie the half he claimed of some properties at Cevico and Uceda, which he and Stephanie had previously acquired together. Earlier that year, in April or May, Queen Urraca had granted those lands at Uceda and some others at Hita to the betrothed or recently married couple. On 30 June she granted the lands at Cevico to Stephanie to be held independently of her husband or his existing children. Fernando disregarded this royal charter, placing greater stock in aristocratic custom based on Visigothic law, by which he acquired one half of all his wife's acquisitions during their marriage.

Fernando and Stephanie had two daughters: Urraca Fernández and Sancha Fernández. Urraca, probably conceived shortly after their marriage, was betrothed to Count Rodrigo Martínez, who granted her a bridewealth on 29 November 1129, when she was probably only ten years old. Stephanie also bore Fernando two sons: Pedro Fernández de Castro, who became the first Grand Master of the Order of Santiago, and Martín Fernández de Castro.

Fernando died about 1125. Stephanie, ten years a widow and still young, married Count Rodrigo González de Lara in 1135.

title: The Voyager (Jenny Lewis album)

text:
The Voyager is the second solo album and third overall by American singer-songwriter Jenny Lewis. The album was released on July 29, 2014, by Warner Bros. Records. The album was primarily produced by Ryan Adams at his studio, PAX AM.

Background
In May 2014, Lewis spoke to Rolling Stone about the album, saying: "Making The Voyager got me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. After Rilo Kiley broke up and a few really intense personal things happened, I completely melted down. It nearly destroyed me. I had such severe insomnia that, at one point, I didn’t sleep for five straight nights. Many of the songs on The Voyager came out of the need to occupy my mind in the moments when I just couldn't shut down."

In a July 2014, interview with Rolling Stone, she spoke about Ryan Adams producing the album, saying: "In some ways, I felt like he was needling me. He was winding me up. I was somewhat agitated at times, and I think it put me in a really cool place to perform those songs. Ryan is the most unique producer I've ever worked with, in his approach and behavior [...] He made me listen to five or six Creed songs, really loudly on these beautiful tube speakers. My ears were bleeding. And it was Creed! He was like, "This is great music. I want you to hear it." And by the third song, I was like "Huh. Umm. Yeah, I can maybe see that."

Composition
On The Voyager, Lewis takes on both "candid [and] disarming" alt-pop and the sunnier sides of vintage yacht rock. It also works in Americana and late-'70s folk rock. Pitchfork also noted its "sunny 80s new wave" sound.

Critical reception

The Voyager was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 77, which indicates "generally positive reviews", based on 33 reviews. Katherine Flynn of Consequence of Sound said, "It’s obvious that Lewis desperately needed to make The Voyager, and maybe it doesn’t really matter if it’s the album that the fans who still pray to her after all this time needed to hear. Her rich, heartbreaking voice remains, the drug references are still there, and her skilled musicianship still underpins every song. The Voyager is a grower. I can feel it." Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian stated, "Yet for all its merits – her voice is utterly pure, and the altpop textures luscious – The Voyager lacks unity. There's a touch of gleaming Haim-pop in She's Not Me, a dash of album producer Ryan Adams in track The New You, and a plethora of other influences overall." Jesse Cataldo of Slant Magazine stated, "Produced by Ryan Adams with help from Beck, Rice, and Lewis herself, The Voyager changes in style from song to song, with most landing in the territory of late-'70s folk rock, sounds from a time in which the warm AM-radio aesthetic was giving way to the slick stylings of the '80s. It's a nice period setting for an album concerned with loss as a significant factor of aging, but too many songs here feel slackly constructed, and the overall musical mood only rarely connects with its lyrical content, leaving The Voyager as a moderately successful testimonial effort." Stephen Carlick of Exclaim! said, "On The Voyager, Lewis is confident and sharp, her incisive, dark lyrics juxtaposed by bright, sunny instrumentals that help the album go down easy while rewarding repeat listens."

Robert Christgau, writing in Cuepoint, praised Lewis' songwriting after a "five year absence", saying "Every melody stands alone; every arrangement tops it off; every vocal nails it; every lyric parses with just enough mystery and mordant self-regard to make you crave some backstory." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated, "Guitars roam wide-open spaces, couched in luxurious reverb and draped in strings; the rhythms often follow cool, steady eighth-note pulses; the surfaces always shimmer. It's such a sultry, soothing sound that it's easy to ignore the pain that lies beneath but that's a feature, not a bug: on The Voyager, Lewis' characters live for today without ever thinking that the world might pass them by, and having her music flow so smooth and easy, she illustrates how easy it is to get sucked into that alluring stasis." Nick Hagan of Drowned in Sound said, "All together, The Voyager’s balance of frothiness and fearless introspection make it something pretty special. It’s fun, compulsive listening, and really highlights Jenny Lewis’s songwriting credentials with a clutch of great, unpretentious pop songs. Some will undoubtedly find the high dose of kitsch a major irritant, but for apple pie Americana laced with star-gazing self awareness, Lewis is truly peerless." Stephen M. Deusner of Pitchfork said, "The Voyager is not quite so easily summed up. It’s not anchored in one particular scene, but plays as broadly California, with sly nods to the Byrds in the guitars, the Go-Go’s in the vocals, and Randy Newman in the wry humor." Erik Adams of The A.V. Club stated, "Newfound sophistication does nothing to dull the emotional punch of Lewis’ songwriting, though it makes an odd fit for some of her more off-the-cuff couplets."

Rolling Stone listed "Just One of the Guys" at #5 on a list of the top 50 songs of 2014.

Jessica Goodman and Ryan Kistobak of The Huffington Post included the album on their list of the year's best releases, calling it as a proof that "[Lewis] is not just a grown-up little girl".

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 24,000 copies in the United States.

title: Brett Boretti

text:
Brett Boretti (born December 14, 1971) is an American college baseball coach who has been the head coach of Columbia since the start of the 2006 season.  Prior to that, he was the head coach at Division III Franklin & Marshall from 2001 to 2005. As a head coach, Boretti has led teams to four NCAA tournaments, three of them in Division I.

Playing career
Boretti attended Davidson College, where he graduated from in 1994.  He played football during his freshman year and baseball for all four years.  A catcher, he was named First-Team All-Southern Conference as both a junior and a senior. He also spent time in the Cape Cod Baseball League in 1992 and 1993 with the Wareham Gatemen and was named a league all-star in 1993.

He had a short career in professional baseball. He played for the Brainerd Bears in the short-lived North Central League in 1994; he hit .283 and drove in 31 runs and was named a league all-star. In the midst of the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike, when owners threatened to play the 1995 season with replacement players, Boretti spent spring training with the Cleveland Indians.

Coaching career

Assistant positions
Boretti's coaching career began at Endicott, a Division III school located in his hometown of Beverly, Massachusetts.  After spending the 1995 season at Endicott, he was an assistant at Davidson from 1996 to 1998 and Brown from 1999 to 2000.

Franklin & Marshall
Boretti's first head coaching position came at Division III Franklin & Marshall, where he replaced Mark Cole ahead of the 2001 season. Boretti spent five seasons at the school, where he had an overall record of 116–82.

In 2002, Boretti's second season, the Diplomats went 31–10 and shared the Centennial Conference title with Johns Hopkins.  The team made the conference tournament, where it lost in the second round.  In 2005, Franklin & Marshall won the Centennial outright and defeated Johns Hopkins in the conference championship series to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.  There, it lost a pair of 1–0 games to Rowan (in 10 innings) and Messiah.

Columbia
Boretti was hired at Division I Columbia ahead of the 2006 season; he replaced Paul Fernandes, who had been promoted to associate athletic director.

After finishing third in the Gehrig Division in 2006 and 2007, the Lions won the division with a 15–5 record in 2008.  They defeated Rolfe Division champion Dartmouth in the Ivy Championship Series to advance to the NCAA tournament, Columbia's first since 1976.  At the Conway Regional, the Lions lost to host Coastal Carolina, 10–2, and second-seeded East Carolina, 9–0.

The Lions had their first winning season under Boretti in 2010, when they went 27–20 and won the Gehrig Division for the second time. They then lost to Dartmouth in the Ivy Championship.

Under Boretti, Columbia's home field, Robertson Field at Satow Stadium, underwent renovations in 2007 and 2010.

After finishing third in the division in 2011 and 2012, Columbia won back-to-back Ivy League titles in 2013 and 2014, defeating Dartmouth in the championship series in both years.  At the Fullerton Regional in 2013, Columbia went 1–2, getting its first NCAA tournament win against third-seeded New Mexico.  At the Coral Gables Regional in 2014, the Lions received the third seed and went 0–2.

From 2006 to 2014, six Columbia players have won major awards in the Ivy League, including Dario Pizzano, who was named Rookie of the Year in 2010 and Player of the year in 2012.  Four Lions have been selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, with the highest pick being Pizzano, a 15th-round selection of the Seattle Mariners in 2012.

title: After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself

text:
After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself is a pastel drawing by Edgar Degas, made between 1890 and 1895.  Since 1959, it has been in the collection of the National Gallery, London. This work is one in a series of pastels and oils that Degas created depicting female nudes. Originally, Degas exhibited his works at Impressionist exhibitions in Paris, where he gained a loyal following.

Degas's nude works, including After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, continue to spark controversy among art critics.

Artwork
Edgar Degas often used photographs and sketches as a preliminary step, studying the light and the composition for his paintings. His use of light may be attributable to his deteriorating eyesight. Degas applied numerous pastel layers in After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, making the woman appear somewhat translucent. The heavily worked pastel creates deep textures and blurred contours, emphasizing the figure's movement.

The work depicts a woman sitting on white towels spread over a wicker chair, with her back to the viewer. Her body is arched and slightly twisted, creating a tension in her back, accentuated by the deep line of her backbone. One hand dries her neck with a towel, presumably after the woman exited the tin bath in the corner of the room. The other arm holds onto the chair for support. The space is defined by the vertical and diagonal lines where the floor and walls meet.

Materials
The materials in the painting have been the subject of extensive technical analysis. Degas used a multitude of commercially available pastel crayons many of which consisted of several individual pigments. Predominant pigments in this painting are Prussian blue, cadmium yellow and ochres. These beautiful, light colours perfectly embody the Impressionist ideals of the era. The drawing was made on several pieces of paper mounted on cardboard. Degas may have started with a smaller composition which he extended as he worked, requiring more paper. The artwork measures .

Background
The work is part of a series of photographs, preliminary sketches and completed works in pastels and oils by Degas from this period. The series depicts women dancing or bathing, some showing women in awkward or unnatural positions. The art historian Carol Armstrong argues that the series differs from the work of other artists depicting female nudity in the sense that Degas contorts women's bodies in unusual positions to make viewers uncomfortable. This discomfort causes viewers to avert their gaze to respect the privacy of the subject depicted in this highly vulnerable, exposing moment. Degas, speaking about these works, said, he intended to create a feeling in the viewer: "as if you looked through a keyhole." Degas is believed to have frequently documented the lives of Parisian women in brothels; therefore, he works to preserve their anonymity with the extensive use of shadows. This notion of "privacy and exclusion" of the subject parallels Degas's own desire to live a life in the shadows, hiding from the public and valuing his privacy. The woman's face is hidden, so the emphasis of the piece rests on the woman's nude body.

Degas included many works of female nudes bathing in the last Impressionist exhibition in 1886. Nine of Degas's pastel drawings of women at their bath were exhibited by Theo Van Gogh at Galerie Boussod et Valadon in 1888. The work was shown at the Lefevre Gallery in 1950 and was bought for the collection of the National Gallery, London in 1959. A less highly worked example of a similar subject is in the Courtauld Gallery, and other works in the series are in many public museums.

Influences
The work had a considerable influence on Francis Bacon, most noticeably on his triptychs Three Figures in a Room (1964, Centre Pompidou, Paris) and Three Studies of the Male Back (1970, Kunsthaus Zürich). The Tate Gallery says "For Bacon [it] was indeed something of a talisman. It epitomised Degas's approach to a larger obsession the two artists shared with the plasticity of the body, its potential for the most varied forms of articulation, in movement and repose." The work was one of three central nudes chosen by Bacon in his "The Artist's Choice" exhibition at the National Gallery in 1985, shown between Velázquez's Rokeby Venus and Michelangelo's Entombment.  Art historian and curator Michael Peppiatt quoted Bacon thus: "I love Degas. I think his pastels are among the greatest things ever made. I think they're far greater than his paintings."

Critical reception
Degas's candid portrayal of women in vulnerable states caused controversy among art critics. Some critics believed that works from Degas's Impressionist series, including After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, were tactless in their depiction of the female nude. These female nudes lacked any kind of idealisation, which deviated from the standard academic convention of portraying nude bodies in the most favourable light. Other critics, namely Octave Mirbeau, commended Degas for his bold break from the conventional artistic style of works at the Salon (Paris). He praised Degas for rejecting the temptation to portray these women in an unrealistically idealised light; in which case, his works would have been widely commercially successful in their unchallenging state of capitalising on the beauty of the female nude body.

Others critiqued Degas for his objectivity in portraying subjects, making his job scientific in nature rather than artistic. Degas captured extremely intimate moments with great precision and accuracy, choosing to not over-sexualise his subjects. Curator Richard Kendall believed that Degas's works were particularly special because they were so non-erotic in nature. This fuelled Carol Armstrong's point that the nude bodies were meant to exist "in a world of their own" and were not meant to be sexualised by the viewer. Degas's work, After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, served as a prime example of Degas's controversial style of depicting female nudity.

title: Diligent Work-Frugal Study Movement

text:
The Diligent Work-Frugal Study Movement, often referred to as the Work-Study Movement (; French: Mouvement Travail-Études), was a series of work-study programs which brought Chinese students to France and Belgium to work in factories as a way to pay for their study of French culture and Western science. The programs aimed to train Chinese radicals between the ages of 16 and 30 through first hand experience in a workers' movement. The programs were organized between 1912 and 1927 largely by a group of Chinese anarchists who had come to Paris and wanted to introduce French science and social idealism to China.

After organizing smaller-scale programs starting in 1908, in 1916, after the outbreak of First World War, the Chinese organizers worked with the Chinese and French governments to establish the Diligent Work-Frugal Study program, which brought less educated Chinese workers, and continued to bring students after the 1919 end of the war. In all, several thousand Chinese came to France as student-workers, though not all as formal members of a program. They included future leaders of the Chinese Communist Party such as Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, as well as others who went on to prominent roles in China.

The movement is commemorated in a small museum, the Historical Museum of French-Chinese Friendship, in the town of Montargis where many of the participant students resided.

Origins

Well before Marxist socialism entered China, Chinese anarchists took up the cause of labor and educating the working class. The leaders of the Chinese Anarchist movement in Paris -- Li Shizeng, Wu Zhihui, Zhang Renjie. Wang Jingwei, Wu Yuzhang, and Cai Yuanpei—supported Sun Yat-sen but urged him to add a social and cultural aspect to his program of political revolution. They argued that individuals could not liberate themselves, but that educated men had the responsibility as teachers to use moral education and personal rectitude to show others the way. At the time, most students who went abroad went on government scholarships to Japan, though the Chinese Educational Mission of 1872–1881 and the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Program sent students to the United States. The Paris anarchists were eager to establish interchange with France, which they regarded as a progressive and secular society.

In 1908 Li Shizeng planned the first Work-Study program as a way to bring young Chinese to France. He opened the Usine de la Caséo-Sojaïne, which manufactured soy products for the French market. The workers' study would be financed by working in his factory and their character would be uplifted by his regimen of moral instruction. This first Work-Study program eventually brought 120 workers to France. Li aimed to take these worker-students, who he called "ignorant" and "superstitious," and make them into knowledgeable and moral citizens who on their return home would become models for a new China. They received instruction in Chinese, French, and science and were required to abstain from tobacco, alcohol, and gambling.

In April 1912, excited by the success of the Chinese revolution and the prospect of the new-born Republic of China, Li, Zhang Renjie, Wu Zhihui, and Cai Yuanpei, who had returned to Beijing, founded the Association for Frugal Study in France (), also known as the Society for Rational French Education (Societé Rationelle des Etudiants Chinois en France). Students traveled from China via the Siberian railway, a trip which took about eighteen days and cost approximately two hundred dollars. The Society prepared students for inexpensive study (¥600 a year) in France and "by labor and a simple life to cultivate habits of diligence and hard work." In contrast to his own experience when he came in 1902 as an "embassy scholar," which involved only a handful of students from privileged families, Li hoped to welcome hundreds of working-class students into the program. Wu Zhihui, who came from a poor family himself, remarked that actually the program would be especially good for students from rich families: "even if they do not study anything, if at least they learn how to clean toilets it will be worth it."

The Association opened a preparatory school in Beijing which offered aspiring students a six-month course in French. When the first group of 30 student-workers for his factory reached France in January 1913, Li arranged for them to be admitted to the College at Montargis, south of Paris, where his warm relations with city officials made arrangements easier. The Association established a workers' school near the factory, in which Li and Wu taught the Chinese and French languages, and general scientific knowledge. In addition to making workers more knowledgeable, work-study would eliminate their "decadent habits" and transform them into morally upright and hard-working citizens. A strict regimen was imposed — no smoking, gambling or alcohol  — and the workers were expected to devote their spare time to study. In all, this program brought more than 120 students to France before it was closed down in 1913 by Yuan Shikai, the new president of China, who regarded its leaders as associates of his rival, Sun Yat-sen.

The Diligent Work-Frugal Study program
The outbreak of war in 1914 led France to recruit Chinese workers for factory work and heavy manual labor. The Chinese Labor Corps in France eventually brought more than 130,000 workers, mostly from North China villages. In June 1915, Li and his Paris friends took this opportunity to provide schooling and training. The Work-Study program was renewed, though on a different basis, bringing less educated workers rather than students. By March 1916 their Paris group, the Société Franco-Chinoise d'Education () was directly involved in recruiting and training these workers. The Société had well-placed French backers, mostly on the political left, including Alphonse Aulard, the first president of the Société, a professor of French history at the Sorbonne; Marius Moutet, vice-president and a socialist member of the National Assembly from Lyon; and Édouard Herriot, mayor of Lyon. They pressed the French government to give the Chinese workers technical education as well as factory work. Li wrote extensive articles in the Chinese Labor Journal (Huagong zazhi), which introduced readers to Western science, arts, fiction, and current events.

By 1917, the Society had established feeder schools in Beijing, Baoding, and Changxingdian, in North China. Students in Hunan wanted to found a preparatory school, but the provincial government at Changsha refused to help. A delegation went to Beijing in February 1918 to consult with Li and Cai. The financial support they obtained from the Beijing government attracted even more students from Hunan, including Mao Zedong. While Mao raised funds for the movement, he did not himself study abroad pursuant to it. Cai and Li told student leaders that the government had little money but would lend them transportation funds, in return, students would be expected to teach laborers in France. The first group of thirty students to go to France repaid the loan within five months, allowing two groups a year to follow.

The new students came from a wide background. The Work-Study movement now offered overseas study to those whose education stopped at the middle-school level or below. The preparatory schools at Baoding and Changxingdian required only that applicants have basic Chinese and that they not possess "bad habits" such as smoking or gambling. The low tuition fees charged by the preparatory schools and the specially reduced boat fares Li Shizeng negotiated with French authorities also increased the numbers of students who could come on the program.

In 1919 and 1920, even after the signing of the peace, the Sino-French Education Association sponsored 17 groups of Chinese students, totaling nearly 1,600, who were placed in factories and schools, including increased numbers of students from the poorer inland provinces of Hunan and Sichuan. Among these were the future leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Deng Xiaoping, then 16 years old, who had been recruited by Wu Yuzheng in Chongqing,  and Xu Teli, then in his early 40s, the future commissar of education at Yan'an in 1937.

Deng arrived in France on October 19, 1920, but within three months the Sichuan Association which sponsored his trip ran out of money. Deng then worked at Schneider & Co., France's largest ordnance manufacturer, in Creusot, a southern city. Deng was surprised to see white people treat Chinese like slaves in Shanghai and other ports along the way. Although he and many of his Chinese colleagues had considered themselves economically well off in China, they now worked long hours in poor conditions while they saw French families living in luxury unknown in China. Deng learned how to use an industrial welder, a skill which proved useful when he was deposed from power during the Cultural Revolution and sent to work in a factory.

The Lyons incident and the decline of the program
In 1921, word spread that Wu Zhihui was bringing one-hundred students from Guangdong and Guangxi provinces who were to be given first preference in enrolling at the Institute in Lyons. Worker-students already in France, unhappy with their miserable conditions and fearful that their stipends were about to be cut off, went to Lyons to protest. The protests escalated into riots which led to the expulsion of their leaders from France. The "Lyons Incident" turned the younger generation of students into angry critics who dismissed anarchism as a revolutionary doctrine and rejected older leaders such as Wu, Li, and Cai Yuanpei. The Institute survived but did not play the hoped for central role in Sino-French relations.

Assessment and impact

The student-workers did not all learn the lessons in French civilization that the organizers hoped. One student, Wang Ruofei, a future Chinese communist leader, sounded satisfied when he wrote
Our laboring spirit convinced us and we felt that these clouds of black smoke were also important products of culture and that these rough and ready laborers were, after all, leading the true way of life and were the builders of civilization. Why should I reject such a way of life?
However, Chen Yi, who later became a high ranking communist general, worked at a Michelin plant and complained that factory life had nothing to do with the ideals of equality, freedom and fraternity supposedly characteristic of French society. Rather, it had shown him the "evil nature" of European capitalism at first hand.

Among the radical students who came to France in 1919 were Cai Hesen, Chen Yi, Li Fuchun, and Cai Chang, all friends of Mao Zedong from Hunan province. Mao himself remained in China. Cai Hesen wrote to Mao in August and September 1920 to share his experiences and expound on the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat which he learned in France. He urged Mao to prepare for an "October 1917 style" revolution in China. A centralized vanguard party which would usher in a proletarian dictatorship was essential, Cai insisted, in order to combat anarchism on the one hand and bourgeois dictatorship on the other. France would not be China's ally and model, he concluded, but the Soviet Union.

Student-workers in France who went on to leadership roles in the Chinese Communist Party included Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Cai Hesen, Chen Yi, Li Fuchun, Li Lisan, Li Weihan, Nie Rongzhen, Wang Ruofei, Xiang Jingyu, Xu Deheng, Xu Teli, Zhao Shiyan, and Zhu De. Participants in the program or those who worked with them who went on to prominent roles in other areas included Li Huang, founder of the Chinese Youth Party.

Program students were overwhelmingly male, though there were perhaps forty women. Those who went on to become prominent communists include Zhang Yibao, Cai Chang, and Xiang Jingyu. Others include Zheng Yuxiu (better known in France as Tcheng Yu-hiu or Soumé Tcheng), who took a degree in law at the Sorbonne, married the diplomat Wei Daoming, and became an influential jurist and supported of the Chinese Nationalist Party.

Historical Museum of French-Chinese Friendship

The Historical Museum of French-Chinese Friendship (; , ) was created by the government of the province of Hunan in China, which purchased the building in central Montargis in June 2015 and had the museum inaugurated on 27 August 2016. The museum mainly celebrates the Diligent Work-Frugal Study Movement, of which more than 300 participants came to Montargis.

The museum occupies the three main floors of a house in which several Chinese students resided in the era of the Work-Study Movement, on 15 rue Raymond Tellier in the historical center of Montargis. It chronicles the Chinese presence in Montargis in the 1910s and 1920s, starting from a seminal meeting on 16 November 1912 when educator Li Shizeng (1881-1973) first persuaded the town's municipal council to promote visits by Chinese students. The museum describes the stays in Montargis of a number of major Chinese figures of the first revolutionary generation, including Deng Xiaoping (1904-1997) and Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) but also Cai Chang (1900-1990), Cai Hesen (1895-1931), Chen Yi (1901-1972), Li Fuchun (1900-1975), Li Weihan (1896-1984), Nie Rongzhen (1899-1992), Xiang Jingyu (1895-1928) and Zhao Shiyan (1901-1927) among others.

A section is also dedicated to China–France relations since the diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China by Charles de Gaulle in 1964.

The Society of Canadian Painter-Etchers and Engravers (CPE) was a non-profit organization of Canadian etchers and engravers.

History

The Society of Canadian Painter-Etchers and Engravers (CPE) was founded in 1916 as a successor to the short-lived Association of Canadian Etchers, founded in 1885.
William W. Alexander was a founding member. He participated in the Society's exhibitions with bookplates based on his sketches and watercolors from northern canoe trips.
The CPE was relatively conservative. It favored intaglio and insisted that the artist should be involved in each stage of production including drawing, engraving or etching, and printing the block or plate.

The Society began holding annual exhibitions in 1919 at the Art Gallery of Toronto.
Usually these were part of larger exhibitions. The Society held exhibitions in other locations in Toronto from 1933 to 1959.
The Society was formally incorporated on 1935.
From 1943 to 1959 it exhibited at the Royal Ontario Museum.
The Canadian Society of Graphic Art (CSGA) was exhibiting serigraphs by the mid-1930.
However, the CPE would not accept silkscreen prints until 1946. Even then, it was careful to exclude commercial methods of silkscreen printing.
Between 1960 and 1974 the Society's annual exhibitions were each held in a different city in Ontario.

Jo Manning, who made prints between 1960 and 1980, was an executive member of the Canadian Society of Graphic Art and a member of the Canadian Society of Painter-etchers and Engravers.
In June–August 1971 the Society held a joint exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts with the Canadian Society of Graphic Art.
The Society merged with the Canadian Society of Graphic Art in 1976 to form the Print and Drawing Council of Canada.
Jo Manning was a founding member of the new Council.

title: Luluc

text:
Luluc (Lou-Luke) are an Australian band, consisting of Zoë Randell and Steve Hassett. They are based in Brooklyn, New York. Luluc have released five highly esteemed albums; Dear Hamlyn, Passerby, Sculptor on Sub Pop records and Mistletone Records (for Aus/NZ), Dreamboat (Sun Chaser Records) and Diamonds in September 2023 (Community Music).

The band is admired for their poetic writing, exquisite musicianship and understated yet compelling sound.

Albums

Diamonds – 2023
In late 2022, Luluc met with Los Angeles based manager/music supervisor Bryan Ling from New Community Mgmt, and the band later signed with the Los Angeles-based record label Community Records. Diamonds, Luluc's fifth studio album, was released September 15 2023.

Diamonds has received widespread critical acclaim. Timothy Monger at AllMusic declared "Luluc are unlikely candidates to create a classic American road song and yet, with the title track they do just that...Each album in the band's catalog is a gem and Diamonds, with its dream-like tone and bouquet of lived-in stories, is perhaps their brightest."

UNCUT reflected "Zoe Randell's low reverberant voice, like Nico fronting Morphine. This is, though, an album of upbeat rebirth, born from considered reflection". Mojo highlighted "Randell's voice is so crystalline, so deadpan it's spooky...see this as Townes Van Zandt were he refracted through the lens of Mazzy Star".

Bob Fish from Folk Music concluded "Using sonic simplicity, Luluc manage to change the rules of the game with Diamonds. Their glorious visions deliver a magic that reaffirms what we are and what we can be".

Bob Boilen featured the "Diamonds" single in his NPR New Music Mix, and Best Releases, in September 2023. "Diamonds" was also featured on Guy Garvey's Finest Hour on BBC6.

Dreamboat – 2020
In 2020, Luluc decided against a Sub Pop record deal offer on Dreamboat, citing frustration with the lag in release schedule. "We really felt the need to be more nimble, to release the work on our schedule, rather than through the label machinations which have an inevitable lag. So it was an artistic decision..." The band created Sun Chaser Records label and released Dreamboat in October 2020.

Dreamboat was released to significant praise. Jay Ruttenberg in The New Yorker wrote "Throughout Dreamboat, Luluc's fourth album, Randell's singing is crystalline and unflappable, with a strange beauty that verges on creepy—it's the kind of voice that, on a movie soundtrack, portends unspeakable doom". Uncut Magazine wrote, "Randell's vocals, timeless and pure, carries something of a myth-making quality in its timbre" (January 2021).

NPR All Songs Considered featured Dreamboat upon release and Emerald City in Bob Boilen's Top 40 songs of 2020". Narc magazine reflected "perhaps the real triumph of Luluc's Dreamboat is the consistent lullaby/Karen Carpenter vocal delivery of Zoe Randell and her ability to find memorable, interesting, pop melodies within each of the different sonic textures". Shindig noted "These are modern watercolors of ruminative elegance with an understated hypnotic flair".

Dreamboat was recorded partly in Berlin at PEOPLE festival and in Brooklyn, New York. Guest musicians included Aaron Dessner (The National), drummers JT Bates (Bon Iver), Jason Treuting (Sō Percussion), CJ Camerieri (yMusic) on trumpet; and saxophonist Stuart Bogie (Arcade Fire).

Sculptor – 2018
Sculptor was released on Sub Pop on 13 July 2018. Sculptor was produced by Steve Hassett and Zoe Randell in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. It featured guest appearances from J Mascis, Aaron Dessner and Jim White among others. In its first month of release, it won worldwide praise including Uncut Magazine'''s Album of the Month and 4 star and 8/10 reviews in The Guardian, Mojo, Line of Best Fit, Under the Radar and Q Magazine. Sculptor received BBC6 and BBC2 airplay, including on Iggy Pop's LA ConfidentialMojo observed that "Sculptor yields centre-stage to Randell's haiku-like celebrations of human spirit and suburban transcendence". Uncut declared "Sculptor is the strongest and most assured record of their career. The songs dig deep emotionally – but critically their aesthetics are well-balanced, the voice and instruments perfectly calibrated...Sculptor is wide open". Line of Best Fit concluded "Ultimately, the album repays careful and repeated attention, its varied qualities cohering effectively with a measured sense of control". Live reviews have also been full of praise "Randall's voice was warm and rich with each lyric that fell on the audience...Their overall sound was marked by a timelessness that also felt avant-garde in its minimalism".

Passerby – 2014Passerby has consistently received outstanding reviews and was listed as the number one album of 2014 by NPR Music's Bob Boilen and Stephen Thompson. Passerby was released on Sub Pop on 15 July 2014, the album was co-produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, and recorded at his studio in Brooklyn. Sub Pop co-founder Jonathan Poneman, met and signed the band within 48 hours of hearing the master recordings. Poneman was sent the Passerby Masters by Peter Blackstock, co-founder of No Depression magazine.The Wall Street Journal named Passerby as one of their best fifteen albums of 2014. Wilco named Passerby one of their "favourite recent releases" in 2015. The album received 4 and 5 star reviews in Mojo, Bust, AllMusic and Lesinrocks amongst others. Passerby was number one added to CMJ radio in its week of release. Dave Di Martino wrote in Rolling Stone USA that the record is a  "timeless, quietly special set" and that "Passerby is gorgeous and refined through and through".

Dear Hamlyn – 2008
Luluc released their debut album, Dear Hamlyn, in 2008; the songs were written following the death of Randell's father. Dear Hamlyn eventually gained a large group of influential admirers. Peter Blackstock co-founder of No Depression magazine, wrote of the album, "The most beautiful album I've heard in ten years". In 2011 Nick Drake's producer, Joe Boyd, also taken by Dear Hamlyn, invited Luluc to feature in his Nick Drake tribute tour. They contributed the tracks "Things Behind the Sun" and "Fly" to the live tribute album, Way to Blue: The Songs of Nick Drake in 2013. Dear Hamlyn was reissued and given worldwide release on Sub Pop Records on March 8, 2019.

Television appearances
Luluc recorded at NPR Music's 'Tiny Desk' in September 2014. Host Bob Boilen remarked "I've spent more time listening to Luluc's second album, Passerby, than any other album this year. It's a calming, seemingly effortless affair: a marriage of graceful singing and storytelling, with guitars and textures that help create an unforgettable aura".

Luluc performed numerous songs live for Other Voices in 2014, including Passerby where they were joined by Aaron Dessner and Little Suitcase (Zoe performing solo). Their songs, "I Found You" (Season 6, episode 19) and "One Day Soon" (Season 6, episode 21) were featured on ABC's Grey's Anatomy.

title: Mount Nelson (Antarctica)

text:
Mount Nelson is a mountain  tall, standing three miles northeast of Mount Pulitzer, near the west side of Scott Glacier in the Queen Maud Mountains, Antarctica. It was first mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933–35). The mountain was named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Randy L. Nelson, who made satellite geodesy studies at McMurdo Station, as part of the winter party of 1965.

Mount Nelson is located at 85 degrees 47 S Latitude, 153 degrees 48 W Longitude. (Latitude 854700S Longitude 1534800W)

Nelson, born April 11, 1937, in Cedarview, Utah, US, was head of the team of scientists and geographers who set up satellite tracking at McMurdo Station in Antarctica in 1965, as well as many other locations worldwide. During 1965 the equipment needed to track satellites took up two large building roughly the size of a semi-trailer, in contrast GPS abilities available in hand held devices 40 years later.

title: Cockpen

text:
Cockpen is a parish in Midlothian, Scotland, containing at its north-west corner the town of Bonnyrigg, which lies  south-west of Dalkeith. It is bounded on the west and north by the parish of Lasswade, on the east, by Newbattle and on the south by Carrington.  It extends about  from north to south and its greatest breadth is about  miles (4.0 km).

The parish lies between the rivers North Esk and South Esk, which join about 2 miles north of the parish. At Lasswade the parish reaches the North Esk  which at that point forms the boundary on the north-west side, such that the suburb of Westmill on the south-east bank lies in the parish of Cockpen. The South Esk briefly forms the southern boundary of the parish then flows northward through the parish past Dalhousie Castle, exiting in the north-east into Newbattle parish.

A Parochial Board was established under the Poor Law (Scotland) Act 1845. Within the parish of Cockpen a police burgh was created at Bonnyrigg in 1865 (although part lay in the parish of Lasswade). Police burghs were communities over a certain size which were entitled to police many of their own affairs, such as cleansing, street lighting and water supply as well as public order. Police burghs were run by elected commissioners or magistrates.

With the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1894 the Parish Council was established, but this only administered the “landward” part of the parish, i.e. outside Bonnyrigg. Under the terms of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929, Bonnyrigg and Lasswade were united to become the burgh of Bonnyrigg and Lasswade. The burgh was abolished in 1975 and subsumed into Midlothian district of Lothian region The parish council ceased in 1930 when parish councils in Scotland were abolished,  but civil parishes persist for census and other non-administrative purposes.

From the 12th to the 19th centuries the parish of Cockpen comprised the same area as the Barony of Dalhousie (a corruption of Dalwolsie).  The lands of Dalhousie have been owned by the Ramsays since the 12th century  having been given to them by the monks of Newbattle Abbey. The patronage of the parish church belonged anciently to this family. In May 1542, James V granted to Nicol de Ramsay, of Dalhousie, a power of Justiciary over his lands of Dalhousie, and Carrington, in the county of Midlothian (Edinburghshire), but this appears to have expired on his death in 1554.   There have been a succession of fortresses at their seat, Dalhousie Castle, which lies on the north bank of the South Esk. The castle was successfully defended against Henry IV in 1400, and in 1648, it was occupied by Cromwell. The present building dates from the 15th century.

The parish church is  south-east of Bonnyrigg on rising land on the west bank of Dalhousie Burn. The building dates from 1820 and replaced an earlier structure.

The South Esk, after leaving Dalhousie Castle, passes close by the romantic place where Cockpen House stood, the mansion of the Laird o' Cockpen, the subject of the traditional Scottish song of that name.

The area of the parish is .
The civil parish has a population of 10,466 (in 2011).

Etymology
Cockpen is agreed to be a Cumbric name cognate with Welsh coch 'red' + pen 'peak'.

In popular culture
The late-18th century song The Laird o' Cockpen by Carolina Oliphant, Lady Nairn, describes a Cockpen estate owner who fought on the Royalist side at the 1651 Battle of Worcester.
