title: Sanshirō (novel)

text:
is a 1908 Japanese novel by Sōseki Natsume. It is the first in a trilogy, followed by Sorekara (1909) and The Gate (1910).

Sanshirō describes the experiences of its titular character Sanshirō Ogawa, a young man from the Kyushu countryside of southern Japan, as he arrives at the University of Tokyo and becomes acquainted with his new surroundings, fellow students, and professors.

Plot summary
As the novel begins, Sanshirō Ogawa has graduated from high school in Kumamoto, Kyushu, and is riding the train north to pursue his graduate studies at the University of Tokyo. During his second day on the train, a young woman asks Sanshirō for help with lodgings when they stop in Nagoya for the night. Through a misunderstanding, they end up in the same room with a single futon. Both to his relief and chagrin, Sanshirō sidesteps her openings for intimacy. As they part ways the next morning, she chides him for his lack of charisma.

Back on the train for his third and final day of travel, Sanshirō encounters an enigmatic man who casually declares that Japan is rushing toward its own destruction. The man also warns him against avarice and the hidden dangers that lurk beneath the smooth surfaces of society. Sanshirō later comes to know this man as Professor Hirota, a high school English teacher and amateur philosopher.

At the university, Sanshirō seeks out a physics researcher named Nonomiya, whom his mother introduces through a family connection. He also meets a fellow liberal arts student name Yojirō, who advises him on how to navigate the academic environment. Both Nonomiya and Yojirō are protégés of Professor Hirota, and these three characters, along with Yoshiko (Nonomiya's younger sister) and Mineko (the younger sister of another Hirota protégé) form Sanshirō's core circle of acquaintances.

As he settles into his new life in Tokyo, Sanshirō recognizes three distinct worlds of which he feels a part. The first is his hometown in Kyushu, and particularly his connection to his mother there. The second is the intellectual world, where thinkers such as Professor Hirota and Nonomiya lose themselves in pursuit of academic learning. The third world is the realm of human emotions, into which Sanshirō is drawn through his affection for Mineko.

The novel includes a comical subplot in which Yojirō, an incorrigible meddler, campaigns discreetly on behalf of Professor Hirota, hoping to have him appointed to the university faculty in the College of Letters. Yojirō pens an essay for the Literary Review under a pen name, expounding the benefits of a native Japanese appointment and all but nominating Professor Hirota as the man for the post. His scheming backfires terribly when a rival camp fingers Sanshirō as the author and publicly questions the professor's integrity. Yojirō is forced to come clean with the professor and endure his wrath.

The main point of tension in the novel is Sanshirō's ambiguous relationship with Mineko. Both feel, in some sense, an attraction for the other, and both, in another sense, are resigned to their respective fates. Older men, established in their careers, court Mineko. In the end she is married off, by arrangement, to an acquaintance of her elder brother. Sanshirō himself is under pressure from his mother to marry a local Kyushu girl to whose family his own has strong ties. Neither Sanshirō nor Mineko are assertive enough to defy convention, and in the end they let their romance, regrettably, fall by the wayside.

Characters
 Sanshirō Ogawa The main character of the novel, Sanshirō is 22 years old (23 by Japanese Meiji-era counting). As the novel opens, he has recently graduated from high school (equivalent to modern-day college) in Kumamoto is traveling to Tokyo to pursue graduate studies at the University of Tokyo in the College of Liberal Arts.
 Sōhachi  Nonomiya Cousin of an acquaintance of Sanshirō's mother. At his mother's suggestion, Sanshirō calls on Nonomiya during his first days in Tokyo and receives Nonomiya's guidance in orienting himself in his new surroundings. Nonomiya is a 29-year-old experimental physicist on the College of Science staff who leads a team to measure the electromagnetic pressure of light waves. He is courting Mineko, but their rational and romantic views of the world are often at odds.
 Yojirō Sasaki An elective studies ‘special student’ in the College of Liberal Arts. Yojirō is endlessly scheming and meddling. His advice to Sanshirō is often valuable but occasionally detrimental. He boards with Professor Hirota, who is his former high school teacher.
 Professor Chō Hirota A graduate of Tokyo University who teaches English at a local high school (making him the equivalent to a modern-day college professor). The professor has a philosophical bent and is somewhat of a detached observer. He is unmarried and has no great ambition to advance in his career. In addition to Yojirō, whom he's retained as a boarding student, he retains close ties with Nonomiya and the Satomi family, whose eldest brother was also a former student.
 Mineko Satomi The beautiful and talented youngest daughter of the Satomi family, a well-to-do Christian family that is headed now by Mineko's older brother. Mineko takes a dreamy, romantic view of the world and often has a far-away look as she gazes toward the sky and watches clouds.
 Yoshiko Nonomiya Yoshiko, who is hospitalized with illness as the novel opens, is some years younger than her older brother Sōhachi and is still a student. Early in the story, she moves in to board with the Satomi's, and she is often found in the company of Mineko.
 Haraguchi (the painter) Another acquaintance of Professor Hirota's. Haraguchi employs Mineko as his model for a full size portrait to show in his next exhibit. In explaining to Sanshirō that painting captures spirit through attention to detail, Haraguchi focuses on the expression in Mineko's eyes, noting that in the Japanese artistic tradition, a different aesthetic has developed than in the West, where "funny-looking big eyes" are considered beautiful.

Publication history
Sanshirō was first published in serialised form in the newspaper Asahi Shimbun from September 1 through December 29 of 1908. The Shunyōdō Shoten Company published it in book form in May the following year.

Background

Sōseki taught as a professor at Sanshirō's alma mater ‘high school’ in Kumamoto from 1891 to 1894. Subsequently, and following his time abroad in London, he was given a professorship at the University of Tokyo, where the popular lecturer Lafcadio Hearn had recently resigned amidst controversy. A subplot of the novel, in which students lobby for a native Japanese appointment in the Department of Literature, is a playful reversal of the situation under which Sōseki took up his post.

Major themes

Sanshirō is in one sense a coming-of-age novel. It follows Sanshirō as he begins to grasp the world and its possibilities, and also its limitations. The novel covers just a single semester, from September to just after the New Year. Sanshirō grows and learns throughout, but his growth is incremental and he is, in the end, by no means the master of his own future.

Through Sanshirō and those around him, the novel also comments extensively on Meiji-era society and on Japan's modernization. Topics include the recently won Russo-Japanese war, Western science, the role of women in society, approaches to academic instruction, and basic human nature.

English translation
Sanshirō has been translated into English by Jay Rubin in 1977.

Adaptations
A film adaptation of the novel titled Natsume Sōseki's Sanshirō (夏目漱石の三四郎) was released in 1955, directed by Nobuo Nakagawa.

In addition, several television adaptations of the novel have been produced, including one in 1954 (Nippon TV), 1961 (NHK), 1968 (Mainichi Broadcasting System), 1974 (NHK), and 1994 (Fuji Television).

title: Tselovalnik

text:
Tselovalnik (, literally, "kisser", actually "sworn man"), was a common term for various officials in Muscovy elected by zemshchina (the population, as opposed to the tsardom's state apparatus) in uyezds and posads in various judicial, financial and police functions. The term is a contraction of the expression krestny tselovalnik, "the one who kissed the cross", in reference to the sworn oath accompanied with the kissing of the Holy Cross.

The history of this institution has two periods: before and after the Time of Troubles (early 17th century). During the former period tselovalniks acted independently, and afterwards  they served under the voivodes and the officials of various prikazes.

The term was first mentioned in the Sudebnik of 1497 and later in the statutory charters of Novgorod of Vasili III of Russia.

Nowadays, usage of the term often refers to its 19th-century meaning: under the Russian state alcohol monopoly, vodka sellers in taverns were commonly called tselovalniks because they gave a cross-kissing oath not to dilute vodka supplied from state-controlled distilleries and to sell it according to the demand.

title: NJPW Invasion Tour 2011

text:
NJPW Invasion Tour 2011: Attack on East Coast was the first American tour run by Japanese professional wrestling promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in May 2011. The tour was hosted by Jersey All Pro Wrestling (JAPW) and featured all of NJPW's top wrestlers, matches for three of the promotion's four championships and the introduction of a new fifth title.

Background
The tour was first announced on October 3, 2010, when American promotion Jersey All Pro Wrestling (JAPW) announced it had reached a deal with NJPW to host the promotion's first ever shows in the country. NJPW officially announced the "NJPW Invasion Tour 2011: Attack on East Coast" tour on January 4, 2011, during Wrestle Kingdom V in Tokyo Dome, announcing that the events would be taking place on May 13 in Rahway, New Jersey, May 14 in New York City and May 15 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. NJPW also announced that during the tour the promotion would introduce its fifth active title, the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. Most of the wrestlers taking part in the tour were NJPW regulars, however, several JAPW workers, who were not regulars with NJPW, also took part in the tour; namely Charlie Haas, Dan Maff, Homicide, Josh Daniels, Low Ki and Rhino. Daniels was a late replacement for a NJPW regular Tama Tonga, who was sidelined with an injury. Hideo Saito and Kazuchika Okada, two NJPW contracted wrestlers, who were at the time on learning excursions to Puerto Rico and American Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) respectively, also returned to take part in the tour. The official cards for the events were released on May 4. The day before the start of the tour, NJPW held a press conference at the Ramada hotel in Newark, New Jersey. The conference mainly featured wrestlers talking about their feelings about working in the United States, but also featured a storyline development, where Rhino interrupted Togi Makabe and threatened to destroy him, setting up a storyline rivalry between the two, which lasted for the entire tour. Workers at the hotel were reportedly not in on the storyline interruption and were close to calling the police. In Japan, the tour was broadcast on tape delay by Fighting TV Samurai in two two-hour specials. The first concentrated on the IWGP Intercontinental Championship tournament and the second on the other big matches of the tour.

Events

Rahway

The first event on the NJPW Invasion Tour 2011: Attack on East Coast tour took place on May 13, 2011, at the Rahway Recreation Center in Rahway, New Jersey. The event featured eight matches and was the only event on the tour to not include any championship matches. The event included all four first round matches in the IWGP Intercontinental Championship tournament, which saw Yujiro Takahashi advance over Hideo Saito, Tetsuya Naito advance over Josh Daniels, Toru Yano advance over Dan Maff and MVP advance over Kazuchika Okada. In the main event tag team match, Charlie Haas and Rhino defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi and Togi Makabe with Rhino pinning Makabe, building up the storyline rivalry between the two and also a future IWGP Heavyweight Championship match between Tanahashi and Haas.

New York City

The second event on the NJPW Invasion Tour 2011: Attack on East Coast tour took place on May 14, 2011, at Basketball City in New York City, New York. Prior to being announced at Basketball City, the event was scheduled to be held in Brooklyn. The event featured eight matches, two of which were contested for championships. The event also featured semifinals in the IWGP Intercontinental Championship tournament, which saw Toru Yano defeat Yujiro Takahashi and MVP defeat Tetsuya Naito. Following his match, MVP was attacked by Yano to build up the following day's tournament final. In the first title match of the event, Prince Devitt made his seventh successful defense of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against former champion Low Ki. In the main event of the evening, Hiroshi Tanahashi made his fourth successful defense of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against former WWE wrestler Charlie Haas. This marked the second time NJPW's top title had been defended in the United States, ten years after Scott Norton had made the original title defense.

Philadelphia

The third and final event on the NJPW Invasion Tour 2011: Attack on East Coast tour took place on May 15, 2011, at the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The event featured eight matches, three of which were contested for championships. The first title match of the event was contested for Jersey All Pro Wrestling's (JAPW) Light Heavyweight Championship, which NJPW wrestler Jyushin Thunder Liger had captured the previous December. In the match Kenny Omega, a regular for both JAPW and NJPW, defeated Liger to become the new champion. Following the fourth match, Lance Archer made his NJPW debut by attacking Satoshi Kojima. Kojima was saved by MVP, who suggested the two should form a tag team together. This played on a NJPW storyline from earlier in the month, when members of the Kojima-gun stable had turned on Kojima and appointed Minoru Suzuki as the leader of the new Suzuki-gun stable. MVP was a member of Kojima-gun, but had not chosen sides in the conflict up until the event. In the second title match of the event, Apollo 55 (Prince Devitt and Ryusuke Taguchi) made their fifth successful defense of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship against the Strong Style Thugz (Homicide and Low Ki). In the third title match of the event, MVP defeated Toru Yano in the finals of a tournament to become the inaugural IWGP Intercontinental Champion. The event concluded with a hardcore rules match between Rhino and Togi Makabe, playing off the history of the former ECW Arena. Makabe ended up winning the final match of the tour over the former ECW and WWE wrestler.

Aftermath
MVP held the IWGP Intercontinental Championship for five months and successfully defended it twice in rematches against Toru Yano, before being defeated by Masato Tanaka on October 10, 2011, at Destruction '11. Following the Invasion Tour, Prince Devitt held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship for another month, before losing it to Kota Ibushi in his eighth defense on June 18 at Dominion 6.18. Apollo 55 held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship for another five months and successfully defended it two more times, before losing it to the No Remorse Corps (Davey Richards and Rocky Romero) at Destruction '11.

Following the Invasion Tour, JAPW stopped promoting shows due to the heavy financial losses caused by the tour. The promotion eventually returned, however, only promoting one anniversary show per year. Five of the six JAPW regulars who took part in the tour did not make another appearance for NJPW. The only exception was Low Ki, who joined NJPW in April 2012, and concluded his return tour by defeating Prince Devitt for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship on May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku 2012, in a rematch of their title match in New York City. Lance Archer, however, did become a regular for NJPW following the tour, joining Suzuki-gun and winning the 2011 G1 Tag League at the end of the year alongside the stable's leader, Minoru Suzuki. Hideo Saito ended his excursion with the tour and returned to NJPW at Dominion 6.18, attacking Yuji Nagata and joining the Chaos stable. Kazuchika Okada meanwhile returned to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and did not return to NJPW until January 2012. Repackaged as the "Rainmaker", Okada received a strong push and just a month later at The New Beginning defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi to end his thirteen-month reign as the IWGP Heavyweight Champion and become the new champion in what NJPW called the "upset of the century".

NJPW eventually returned to the United States in May 2014 under a working arrangement with the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion.

title: Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Warsaw

text:
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Roman Catholic church located at 80 Solidarności Avenue (formerly 32 Leszno Street) in Warsaw.

History of the church

The church was built from 1682 to 1732 as a church adjacent to a Carmelite convent.

The Polish-Lithuanian Provincial, of the Carmelite Order, Fr. Marcin Charzewicz, through Fr. Dr. Marcin Behma, the theology notary of the General provinces, purchased the land for 2,000 złoty from Col. Jan Weretycki and his wife's estate in the town of Leszno near Warsaw. The Bishop of Poznań, Stefan Wierzbowski, in a letter on September 2, 1682 to the Provincial Order of Carmelites allowed them to raise a cross and celebrate Mass, which was tantamount to permission to build a church and monastery. Permission to build was also expressed by the Leszczyńscy brothers, owners of Leszno: Bogusław Leszczyński - abbot and rector of Płock and Raphael – father of the future king Stanisław Leszczyński.

The first service was held on September 8, 1682 in the chapel decorated with: "the miraculous icon of the silver framework, the author unknown and depicting the Mother of God". This image was then placed in the main altar of the church.

The church was dedicated on April 27, 1732 by the papal legate in Poland, Camillo Paolucci. Four side altars were devoted to saints: Joseph, Adalbert, Elijah and Magdalena de Pazzi. Images for these altars were painted by Szymon Czechowicz.

During the Great Northern War the monastery was occupied by the Swedes.

It was restored in 1853, when a chapel and clock tower were built. The cost of the restoration was more than 22,000 złoty, some of which was contributed by the government.

During World War II, it was one of two active churches within the ghetto (the other was All Saints Church). After the war, it was rebuilt between 1951 and 1956. The monastery buildings were rebuilt.

In the church hangs a copy of an image of Our Lady of Byalynichy, the original hangs in a castle at Lyakhavichy.

In connection with the construction of the through Warsaw W-Z Route' and the widening of Leszno Street (at the time called Gen. K. Świerczewskiego Avenue), on the night of November 30 to December 1, 1962, the church was moved back 21 meters.

In 1968 an organ was added. From 1984 to 1985 the church parsonage was built. In 2009 the facade underwent a partial renovation. During the renovation, baroque colors were restored to the front of the church.

On April 4, 2012 an antique, baroque dress of the Mother of God (which had even survived the Warsaw Uprising) was stolen, and the next day a painting of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was stolen as well.

History of the monastery

The monastery was built at the same time as the church. In 1786, Fr. Marek Jandołowicz stayed at the monastery. In 1818 it was partly taken over by the authorities to be used as a prison. In 1822 inmates included Walerian Łukasiński and other members of the Patriotic Society as well as Ignacy Prądzyński and Piotr Wysocki.

The building suffered during World War II, but although initially secured, in 1962 it was demolished to accommodate the widening of the road aleja Gen. K. Świerczewskiego (now aleja Solidarności).

title: Ernest Savignano

text:
Ernest T. Savignano (January 13, 1919 – 1994) was an American football player who played quarterback, halfback, and kicker for the Brown Bears of Brown University. Savignano captained Brown's 1941 football team. During his football career at the school, he received selection to the All-New England team and honorable mention for the College Football All-America Team. Competing against Lafayette University in 1941, Savignano set a school record for longest punt in a game with a 65-yard kick. Brown University selected him for their 1940s All-Decade Team in 2003.

Early life and education

Savignano was born on January 13, 1919. After attending Newton High School in Newton, Massachusetts, he graduated from Morristown School (now Morristown-Beard School) in Morristown, New Jersey in 1938. Savignano earned varsity letters in three sports at Newton High and five sports at Morristown School. Reaching all-state athletic honors, he captained Morristown School's football team that won the state championship. Morristown-Beard School inducted him into their Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986.

While attending Brown, Savignano served as class president and class marshall. He also served as vice president of the Brown Key Society, an honorary society, and he chaired the undergraduate athletic council. Participating in Brown's campaign to raise $30 million for the 1964 bicentennial, Savignano served on a committee to raise funds to build Meehan Auditorium. The athletic facility has served as Brown's hockey arena since 1962.

All-around athlete at Brown

Known as "one of the most versatile athletes in Brown's history", Savignano played football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and track. Expanding his varsity athletic career beyond football, he played catcher for the varsity baseball team and guard for the varsity basketball team. Savignano earned eight varsity letters in the three sports during his time at Brown. In 1971, the school inducted him into their Hall of Fame.

Military service during World War II

After graduating from Brown in 1942, Savignano joined the U.S. Marines Corps Reserve. Receiving a commission as a lieutenant and then a promotion to captain, he served in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. Savignano commanded the Marine squadron on board the U.S.S. Alaska during the battle of Battle of Okinawa and the Battle of Iwo Jima. Following the war, he served at the headquarters of the Western U.S. Pacific Fleet in Tsingtao, China.

Coaching and industry careers

Returning to Brown, Savignano served as an assistant professor in the Naval Science Department. He coached the Bruin Cubs, the freshman football team, in 1947. Savignano then served as assistant athletic director at the school from 1948 to 1952. After leaving Brown, he joined the Narragansett Paper Company in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and served as their vice president. Savignano later served as president of the Black Hawk Paper Company in East Providence, Rhode Island.

Ernest T. Savignano Scholarship Award

In 1994, Savignano's former classmates at Brown and his friends created the Ernest T. Savignano '42 Memorial Scholarship to honor his legacy. The Savignano Scholarship annually recognizes "academically qualified students who are exceptional leaders and are heavily involved in extracurricular activities, especially the sport of football". Therein, the scholarship reflects Savignano's achievements as a "man of all seasons" and "a man of leadership, integrity, ability, and warmth".

title: LGBT history in Honduras

text:
Homosexuality in Honduras was decriminalised in 1899.
However, the Honduran Penal Code was only reformed in 2013 to include punishment for people who discriminated by sexual orientation.  While a small (but persecuted) gay-rights-oriented culture exists in Honduras, certain lower socio-economic barrios (neighborhoods) have seen the persistence of an older social construction of same-sex eroticism (roughly similar to that which existed in much of the U.S. before WWII) whereby masculine "hombres" (young, unmarried men 15-25) play the penetrative role with "locas" (effeminate but non-cross-dressing/non-transgender, older males), usually for some type of remuneration but occasionally also for friendship and mutual assistance.  For the "hombres", these acts do not carry the stigma of being seen as "homosexual" (though some taboo exists about open discussion of such relationships);  the young men consider themselves fully heterosexual and almost always marry by their mid-twenties, limiting their sexual activity thereafter to women.

Shortly after the 2009 Honduran coup d'état the average yearly murders of LGBT people increased from two to 31.  Prominent gay rights activist, Walter Tróchez, was murdered in December 2009 and four years later Walter's friend Germán Mendoza was charged with his murder.  The number of LGBT deaths in Honduras from the year 1994 to 2018 has been 323 and only 68 of these murder cases have been prosecuted.

HIV-based discrimination
Employers used HIV status, positive or negative, as a way to determine sexual orientation because in the year 2005 13% of the people with AIDS in Honduras were MSM (men who have sex with men).  Honduras had the largest population of people affected by HIV/AIDS in the year 1998 with 50% of the 17% of the AIDS population in Central America coming from Honduras.

title: LGBT history in the Dominican Republic

text:
Sexual encounters in private between two adults are legal. Although homosexuality was decriminalized, LGBT Dominicans still endure discrimination and violence due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. In a 2014 poll, almost three quarters, 73%, of people in the Dominican Republic alone have said that members of the LGBT community have experienced some sort of violence or discrimination. Members of the LGBT Community in the Dominican Republic are victims of hate crimes, extortion by the police, and discrimination when it comes to resources and employment services. They also face discrimination when seeking treatment from health care systems. Between 2006 and August 2015, there have been 32 reports of possible hate crimes against transgender people.:5

Trans people

Due to employment discrimination against LGBT members, a lot of transgender women resort to sex work. A local NGO counted 17 cases of police violence and discrimination against transgender women sex workers between December 2013 and October 2014.:6

Homosexuals

Homosexuality in the Dominican Republic was decriminalized in 1822.
 Since June 17, 1944, same-sex marriage has been unrecognized by the country. Their constitution states that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. In 2010, once the new constitution was written again, it included that same-sex marriage was prohibited.
 On July 1, 2001, the first Gay Pride parade was held in Santo Domingo.
 As of January 24, 2007, Homosexuality is legal within the Dominican Republic. However, there are no laws that protect LGBT members from discrimination in housing and places of employment.
  Law 285-66 prohibits LGBT people from serving as members of the police force. Under this law, police officers are also prohibited from engaging in sodomy.  In 2014, the law was confirmed that LGBT members were prohibited from joining any police force.
 Homosexuality is seen as a disease. Exercises such as electroshocks. Conversion therapy is legal in the Dominican Republic.

title: 1964 Summer Olympics closing ceremony

text:
The Closing Ceremony of the 1964 Summer Olympics took place on October 24, 1964, at the National Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, Japan.

The athletes from each country entered informally, despite plans to have a formal entrance. There did not appear to be any backup plan to sort athletes into their respective countries, and as a result the athletes rushed the field, sometimes arm in arm or riding piggyback, in a disorganized and chaotic spectacle. Zambia had just declared independence from Northern Rhodesia on that day and proudly marched under a newly made placard, but other placards were nowhere to be seen. The Japanese television networks were praised for covering the event live without losing their professional demeanor.

When order was restored, the officially regulated ceremony was held, overseen by IOC president Avery Brundage. The athletes stood in a circle holding lights, and the large display above the field changed to read "SAYONARA". The national anthems of Greece, Japan, and Mexico as the next Olympic host country  were played. As the closing ceremony completed with fireworks, the audience sang Hotaru no Hikari (the tune of Auld Lang Syne).

The Showa Emperor was in attendance.

title: Peter Roberts (activist)

text:
Peter Holton Roberts, MBE (7 June 1924 – 15 November 2006) was an animal welfare activist and the founder of Compassion in World Farming, which he led from 1967 – 1991.

Biography
Peter Roberts was the son of a Staffordshire doctor and was raised in Rugeley.  After serving in World War II, he attended an agricultural college and established a dairy farm in Hampshire.  As demand in Britain rose for meat, Roberts saw increasing use of factory farming, which had been imported from the United States.  Encouraged by popular support for his letter-writing campaign, Roberts unsuccessfully attempted to convince existing animal welfare organizations to protest intensive farming.  As a result, he founded Compassion in World Farming in 1967.  He gave up dairy farming the same year, and he established a health food shop in Petersfield in 1978.  He led the organization until 1991, when he retired and was replaced by Joyce D'Silva.  Although Roberts was a vegetarian, he did not push for others to change their eating habits.  He was an advocate of reasoned debate and sought change through peaceful means.

He was awarded an MBE in 2002 for his work associated with Compassion in World Farming.

title: The Axholme Academy

text:
The Axholme Academy (formerly North Axholme School) is a mixed secondary school located in Crowle, North Lincolnshire, England.

History

Secondary modern school
North Axholme Secondary School opened in November 1957 with 240 children; it was a secondary modern school.
It was officially opened Wednesday 17 September 1958 by Frederick Gough, with 390 children and 17 staff. The school had cost £143,000, being built over fourteen months, and was opened three months early. It was hoped that the other Isle of Axholme secondary school (South Axholme Secondary School) would be ready by September 1960.

At the school prize day, on Tuesday 21 July 1964, prizes were handed out by Simon Barrington-Ward, the Chaplain of Magdalene College, Cambridge, later the Bishop of Coventry from 1985 to 1997. Out in the Isle of Axholme, the grammar school system was broadly supported, and the headmaster Mr L George warned about possible changes to the local selective system, if a parent had a child capable of attending a grammar school. The Scunthorpe education division change to comprehensive schools, had originated only from Labour supporters in Scunthorpe, animated at a perceived possible unfairness of the eleven-plus system; rural secondary schools have weathered the change to comprehensive education much better than secondary schools in Scunthorpe, which have not fared well; and apart from the success and renown of the John Leggott sixth form college, much of the rest of Scunthorpe's enthusiasm for the comprehensive system has frequently backfired. Yet it was Scunthorpe that had mostly provoked this change, and not the Isle of Axholme.

The headmaster Mr L George wanted a wider curriculum, and there would be cooperation with South Axholme Secondary School and North Lindsey Technical College. A pre-nursing course, for girls, had started. From September 1964, Epworth children would travel to Crowle for nursing, and Crowle children would travel to Epworth for commerce and metalwork.

Comprehensive
The school was previously a community school administered by North Lincolnshire Council, North Axholme School was converted to academy status on 1 January 2012 and was renamed The Axholme Academy. However the school continues to coordinate with North Lincolnshire Council for admissions.

Structure
The school is on the west side of the north-south A161, south of Crowle, and towards Ealand, to the south. An electricity transmission line passes east-west, close to the north of the school.

Curriculum
The Axholme Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.

title: Tephra: The Steampunk RPG

text:
Tephra: The Steampunk RPG (2012) is a steampunk role-playing game by Parlor LLC. (formerly known as Cracked Monocle).

Tephra was nominated for "Best Steampunk RPG or LARP" in the 2014 Steampunk Chronicle Reader's Choice Awards and its creator, Daniel Burrow, won the award for "Best Steampunk Game Creator." The company was an exhibitor at SXSW Gaming in 2014.

In February 2015, Cracked Monocle ceased operations, releasing developers from contracts and giving them ownership of works in progress not yet paid for. Control of the LLC reverted to the original founder, who restarted the company several months later. The Kickstarter begun in 2012 was announced as complete afterward.

As of January 2017, the core book has been released to the Open Game License.  On August 2, 2017, it was announced that Cracked Monocle has officially changed their name to Parlor, LLC.

Game history

The Tephra Kickstarter campaign successfully raised $22,821 exceeding their $1,000 goal on February 4, 2012. On January 6, 2014, an update was posted indicating that some international backers still did not have copies of the core rule book. Backers in the United States all received the core book and the Adversary book was released as a PDF download to donors on November 29, 2014. An announcement was made June 15, 2015, that physical copies of the Adversary book would be sent to all backers within two weeks along with Tephra core books for the remaining international backers.

On July 30, 2014, Daniel Burrow announced his resignation as the head of Cracked Monocle. His inability to fulfill the Kickstarter rewards on time was cited as one reason for his resignation. On July 2, 2015, Daniel Burrow announced that he had returned to Cracked Monocle and completed the fulfillment of the Kickstarter.

Play overview

Tephra employs the Clockwork System. This system uses only one die, a d12, to make all rolls. Twelves "explode," so rolling a 12 allows the player to roll again and add to the prior roll. For example, rolling a 12 and then a 7 gives a result of 19. On the other side, "A 1 is a 1." If a player rolls a 1, they cannot add any modifiers to that roll (though negative modifiers still apply). As a result, any roll other than a 1 will tend to beat a roll of 1.

Levels go from 1 to 12. Player attributes are derived from the points they invest in skills. The five attributes are Brute, Cunning, Dexterity, Spirit, and Science. All have four skills except Science, which has 6. When a skill or attribute is rolled to check for a success, that number is added to the result of the roll. Success is measured in tiers: tier one means a basic no-frills success while a tier four, the highest level, means success beyond any human expectation.

Combat stats are derived from the specialties players choose. A player may choose a specialty from any skill they have points in. Priority determines initiative. Augments and DIY are used in crafting (which are generally part of the Sciences skills).

Combat involves two dice rolls for each of the combatants: accuracy vs. evade and strike vs. defense. Accuracy determines whether the attack hits; for ranged attacks (firearms, crossbows, etc.) it also determines the damage. Strike determines the amount of damage done by melee attacks if the attack succeeds. Evade is used by the person being attacked to dodge the blow entirely; it is rolled against accuracy. If the attack hits, the target can roll defense to absorb some or all of the damage. Damage (accuracy, strike) and damage absorption (defense) are tiered. Each tier multiplies the base damage or armor soak class. A character wielding a firearm with damage class 6 who gets a tier 3 accuracy will deal 18 damage if it successfully hits. A character with armor of soak class 4 who rolls a tier 2 defense will absorb 8 damage.

Setting

The setting contains many aspects of steampunk, including trains, airships, and large numbers of independent inventors. There are a number of biomes, such as forests, deserts, grasslands, and jungles. Electricity is present in some parts of the continent, but is still a novelty. The use of fossil fuels is absent with steampower - often powered by aether resonators - the dominant power source.

The game is set on another planet, known as Tephra. It is orbited by a single fractured moon, Aeon. The main continent is Rilausia, which has several countries, each with different themes. The central country is Evangless, which is ruled by a monarchy and where slavery is banned. To the southeast is Zelhost, a heavily industrialized nation populated by Haudi Humans that uses slave labor. To the southwest is Izeda, a desert nation whose people travel in caravans. To the northeast is Dalvozzea, governed by a ruling council of Winged Farishtaas, angelic beings with large wings capable of flight. In the northwest is Arakrith, a nation ruled by former satyr slaves who won their freedom from Haudis.

The core races of Tephra are humans, ayodin, elves, farishtaa, gnomes, and satyrs. Ayodin are sea-going mammals who can breathe on land and in the water. Elves are hulking brutes, tall and muscular, but hunched over and with mottled bruised skin. Farishtaa resemble the classic fantasy elves and are created by scientifically injecting essence into an elf. Satyrs were genetically engineered by Haudis to act as slaves by fusing humans with hoofed animals such as goats, cows, and horses.

title: Microautophagy

text:
Microautophagy is one of the three common forms of autophagic pathway, but unlike macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy, it is mediated—in mammals by lysosomal action or in plants and fungi by vacuolar action—by direct engulfment of the cytoplasmic cargo. Cytoplasmic material is trapped in the lysosome/vacuole by a random process of membrane invagination.

The microautophagic pathway is especially important for survival of cells under conditions of starvation, nitrogen deprivation, or after treatment with rapamycin. Generally a non-selective process, there are three special cases of a selective microautophagic pathway: micropexophagy, piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus, and micromitophagy, all which are activated only under a specific conditions.

Functions of microautophagy
Microautophagy together with macroautophagy is necessary for nutrient recycling under starvation. Microautophagy due to degradation of lipids incorporated into vesicles regulates the composition of  lysosomal/vacuolar membrane.
Microautophagic pathway functions also as one of the mechanism of glycogen delivery into the lysosomes.
This autophagic pathway engulfs multivesicular bodies formed after endocytosis therefore it plays role in membrane proteins turnover.
Microautophagy is also connected with organellar size maintenance, composition of biological membranes, cell survival under nitrogen restriction, and the transition pathway from starvation-induced growth arrest to logarithmic growth.

Non-selective microautophagy
Non-selective microautophagic process can be dissected into 5 distinct steps. Majority of experiments were done on yeast (vacuolar invaginations) but the molecular principles seem to be more general

Membrane invagination and autophagic tubes formation
Invagination is a constitutive process but its frequency is dramatically increased during periods of starvation. Invagination is a tubular process by which is formed the autophagic tube.

Formation of the autophagic tubes is mediated through Atg7-dependent ubiquitin-like conjugation (Ublc) or via vacuolar transporter chaperone (VTC) molecular complex which acts through calmodulin-dependent manner. Calmodulin involvement in tube formation is calcium independent process.

Vesicle formation
The mechanism of vesicle formation is based on lateral sorting mechanism. Changed composition of  membrane molecules (lipid enrichment in the autophagic tubes due to removal of transmembrane proteins) leads spontaneous vesicle formation via phase separation mechanism.

The process of microautophagic vesicle formation is similar to multivesicular bodies formation process

Vesicle expansion and scission
Enlargement of vesicle is mediated by binding enzymes inside of unclosed vesicle. Basically, this process is reversal to endocytosis. Process follows by pich of the vesicle into the lysosomal/vacuolar lumen. This process is independent on SNARE proteins.

Vesicle degradation and recycling
Vesicle moves freely in the lumen and during the time is degraded by hydrolases (ec. Atg15p). Nutrients are then released by Atg22p.

Selective microautophagy
Process of non-selective microautophagy can be observed in all types of eukaryotic cells. On the other hand, selective microautophagy is commonly observed in yeast cells.
Three types of selective microautophagy selective microautophagy can be distinguished: micropexophagy, piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus and micromitophagy

title: HMS Chevron (R51)

text:
HMS Chevron was a  destroyer of the Royal Navy that was in service from August 1945 to the 1960s. She was scrapped in 1969.

Construction
The Royal Navy ordered Chevron on 24 July 1942, one of eight Ch-class "Intermediate" destroyers of the 1942 Programme. She was laid down at Alexander Stephen and Sons, Limited, Glasgow, Scotland, on 18 March 1943, and launched 23 February 1944. She was commissioned on 23 August 1945, too late for World War II. Her first captain was Lt.Cdr. John Fitzroy Duyland Bush, DSC, RN, from 19 January 1945. The yard also built her sister ship, .

Service
After the War Chevron was allocated the pennant number D51. On 9 December 1946, as part of the 'Palestine Patrol', tasked with intercepting illegal Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine, Chevron and the minesweeper  arrived at the small island of Syrna in the Dodecanese group of Greek islands, to rescue survivors of the coal-fired, ~650 gross tonne Athina Rafiah, carrying Jewish immigrants, which had wrecked on 7 December in Agiou Soassin Bay, on the south coast, while seeking shelter in heavy weather. Most of the approximately 800 Ma'apilim on board had struggled onto the island, some with injuries. "After dark, in heavy rain and a rough sea, they carried out the rescue operation and transported the miserable passengers to a landing ship tank (LST) near the island of Crete. Like thousands of Ma'apilim before them on board nine ships that sailed during the summer of 1946, the Ma'apilim were transported to detention camps in Cyprus."

On 6 February 1952, the U.S. Navy Martin P4M-1Q Mercator, BuNo 124371, based in Port Lyautey, French Morocco, staging out of Nicosia, Cyprus, returning from an electronic reconnaissance mission over the Black Sea, made an open ocean dead-stick landing east of Cyprus. Of 15 crew aboard, 14 were rescued by Chevron, the aircraft commander being lost following the ditching.

On 31 October 1954, the aircraft carrier  and Chevron were open to Malta visitors in the afternoon. Triumph was berthed in Grand Harbour and Chevron in Sliema Creek.

Decommissioning and reserve
In 1954 Chevron returned to Portsmouth from the Mediterranean and decommissioned.  In 1956 she was briefly recommissioned and served as part of the 1st Destroyer Squadron in Operation Musketeer during the Suez Crisis.  From 1957 until 1969 she served in reserve as an accommodation ship at Rosyth. Jane's Fighting Ships 1962-1963 states that "Chequers and Chevron are for disposal in the near future." She was placed on the disposal list in 1964.

Chevron was sold to Thos. W. Ward for scrapping at Inverkeithing in December 1969.  Her bell is preserved at the Collingwood Area School, New Zealand.

title: Golfview, Florida

text:
Golfview was a town in Palm Beach County, Florida, in the United States. Golfview was chartered on June 11, 1937. The town, located near the southeast intersection of Belvedere Road and Military Trail and in very close proximity to the Palm Beach International Airport, remained small in both population and area. The highest recorded population of Golfview was 210 people, according to the 1980 census. By the mid-1980s, expansion of the airport and the surrounding area caused many residents to begin selling their homes. The town of Golfview officially dissolved on September 1, 1998.

History
Residents had settled in the area which would become Golfview at least since 1934, when they erected a  archway for the town. In May 1937, a proposal was submitted to the Florida Legislature to chart a  community, situated near the intersection of Belvedere Road and Military Trail. On June 11, Florida governor Fred P. Cone signed House Bill 1852, which chartered the town of Golfview. Although no golf courses existed in the town, Golfview derived its name from the nearby West Palm Beach Golf Course. Golfview initially had about one dozen residents, but the population increased to approximately 155 people by 1962 and expanded to about  in area. That same year, the county's only federally financed fallout shelter was built at Mayor Ellis Altman's property.

Because it was located close to the Palm Beach International Airport, Golfview became too noisy and congested to continue to be a residential community. In 1987, because of the airport's noise and expansion, a majority of the town's property owners agreed to sell their homes for a combined value of $35 million, and the town council agreed to zone the entire town as commercial property. After failing to attract developers for a potential new hotel or office park, the properties were sold to Palm Beach County for expansion of the airport for $15.9 million in 1998. In July of that year, the town's archway was transported to Yesteryear Village at the South Florida Fairgrounds. About a month later, the town clerk signed a document to revoke the charter of Golfview.  The document, filed at Palm Beach County Courthouse on September 1, 1998, officially dissolved Golfview, which became the first municipality in the state of Florida to disincorporate since 1987.

title: LGBT history in Nauru

text:
Nauru is a small island nation in Oceania.

History
Homosexuality was criminalised in 1899, when the island was a German protectorate. Sodomy laws were again introduced in 1921 when the island was under Australian rule and are based on the Criminal Code of Queensland. Those laws were retained following Nauruan independence in 1968.

In January 2011, Mathew Batsiua, Minister for Health, Justice and Sports, stated that the decriminalisation of "homosexual activity between consenting adults" was "under active consideration". In October 2011, the government pledged to decriminalise same-sex sexual acts; however, no relevant legislation was enacted by the end of 2014.

On 27 May 2016, Nauru decriminalised homosexuality.

title: David Davidson (film director)

text:
David Davidson (born February 15, 1953) is an American film director. His films, focusing primarily on music, the arts and African-American culture have been broadcast nationally on PBS and on international television. He is best known for A Place Out of Time: The Bordentown School, and HANS RICHTER: Everything Turns – Everything Revolves.

Early life and education
Davidson was born on the South Side of Chicago in 1953. Subsequently, his parents moved to Washington DC, Philadelphia, Rochester, New York and eventually back to the Southern Suburbs of Chicago, where he graduated from high school. At that time Davidson's father passed his 16mm Bolex camera on to him and he started experimenting with film. Davidson studied at The University of Illinois, majoring first in Political Science then moving to an independent study degree program in Film under Julius Rascheff and photography with Art Sinsabaugh. After receiving his BA, Davidson worked as a news photographer for WCIA Television and in 1978 was accepted to the NYU Graduate Institute of Film and Television, where he received The Warner Fellowship.
