Renovations
In July 2018, Rondebosch Library was closed to the public due to required renovations of the roof and library infrastructure.

The Library re-opened its doors to the public on Wednesday, 28th July 2021.

title: Central Library Cape Town

text:
Central Library Cape Town is a public library in Cape Town, South Africa.  It is one of 104 libraries within the City of Cape Town Library and Information Services.

Central Library includes lending and reference services as well as specialised art and music sections. There are 90 plus computers plus free wi-fi for library members.  The library offers books, cds, DVDs, audiobooks and magazines for loan.  It is the only public library in Cape Town with books in all 11 official languages and also has books in foreign languages.

Introduction
Central Library was established in 1954 when the Cape Town City Libraries took over the subscription library of the South African Library. In 1962 the library moved to the Waalburg building in the city centre. In 1982 the library moved again, this time to Cape Town's City Hall The library received two grants from the Carnegie Corporation which allowed the library collections to be significantly improved and extended and a computer centre was established. The City of Cape Town, provided funds for a new library to be established in the Old Drill Hall.  Central Library opened in this new permanent site in 2008.

History
There has been a public library in the centre of Cape Town since 1818 when the South African Public Library (SAPL) was established. This was a free library until 1829 when it became a subscription library.
In 1952 the Cape Town City Library Service (CTLS) was established to create a free municipal library service for Cape Town.  In December 1954, after negotiations, the CTLS took over the subscription library of the South African Public Library, buying the stock and renting the reading room.  Central Library was established and opened to the public  in January 1955. In 1956 a branch was opened in Long Street which included non-fiction books, children's books and music.
In 1962 Central moved from SAPL to SANLAM building, Waal Street. The music section was also moved from Long Street to this building. In 1965 the Central and Long Street branches were amalgamated to form a new and enlarged Central branch.
Apartheid legislation affected the service offered by libraries.  The 1953 Reservation of Separate Amenities Act resulted in libraries being designated for specific library groups. In 1969 City Park library was opened and all "non-white" members of Central were transferred to City Park Library. However the Central information and Music libraries could still be used by ‘non-white" members.

Art Library
One of only two public art libraries in South Africa.  The library covers all aspects of arts and crafts and is especially strong in African and South African art; Photography; Fashion and Graphic Design. The library is well used by students and local craftsmen and artists.
The art library, as a specialised department within Central, opened in 1965.

The Performing Arts & Music Library
A music library was included in the Long Street Library when it opened in 1956.  The library included gramophone records, sheet music and the Evelyn Fincken Collection and the collection of the Cape Guild of Organists. The first issue of gramophone records in South Africa by a public library was on 5 July 1956 from the Long Street Library.

text:
The Gibbo River, a perennial river of the North-East Murray catchment of the Murray-Darling basin, is located in the Alpine and East Gippsland regions of Victoria, Australia. It flows from the northwestern slopes of the Australian Alps, south and joins with Morass Creek southeast of Lake Dartmouth.

Course
Formed by the confluence of the Straight Running Creek and the Sassafras Creek, the Gibbo River rises in remote state forestry land, below the Great Dividing Range. The river flows generally south by southwest, joined by three minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Morass Creek at Lake Dartmouth, formed by the Dartmouth Dam.

title: Meremäe Youth Centre

text:
Meremäe Youth Centre is a youth centre in Meremäe rural municipality in Meremäe village in Estonia.

The Meremäe Municipality office used to be situated in the household of a family named Kärner in Põrste village. As a result of the arguments about the location of the centre of the rural municipality and its name, it was decided that it was to be built in the geographical centre of the municipality, to Mihailova puustus (wasteland), the intersection of the historic Võru-Petseri and Pankjavitsa-Kiirova-Orava-Räpina roads. The building for Meremäe Youth Centre was the first building built specifically as Meremäe rural municipality building.
Since the mid-1920s a serious problem with the rooms of Serga Elementary School emerged, as keeping the school in several farm houses in Serga as well as Keerba and Vaarkal villages became more and more difficult. It was decided that Serga School is to be brought over to the rural municipality building and in around 1926–1927, the rural municipality council and government took on the building of a new and bigger rural municipality building i.e. office building. An important milestone for building the new rural municipality building was 31 January 1929, in which the owner of Unkipa farm and a citizen of Meremäe rural municipality Sement Prokofi p. Põhja and Efim Liivik, the deputy for Meremäe rural municipality community signed a contract of gift in Petseri with the public notary, Johan Piip, according to which Semen Põhja grants Meremäe rural municipality community a vacant plot on the size of 0.575 hectares under the name “Meremäe rural municipality building”.
In 1932, forms from 1-4 of Serga Elementary School began their studies in the rural municipality building. For the 5th and 6th form, the rooms had to be rented in the household of Valter Seim for the time being. That was until the extension was finished in 1936. After that the school was renamed Meremäe. Later, the building hosted a dormitory of the school. Nowadays, Meremäe Youth Centre, technology class of Meremäe School and rooms for handicraft are operating in it.

title: Johan Christian Ackermann

text:
Johan Christian Ackermann (1740–1795) was a Swedish landscape architect whose work was primarily inspired by English landscape gardens.

Johan Christian Ackermann was originally from Sachsen and moved to Sweden at the age of 22. He was initially employed at the Ekolsund Castle garden. Following a dispute with his employer, he decided to open his own market garden. In 1774, he became the director of the royal gardens at Karlberg Palace. In 1785, he took leadership of the continued construction of Haga Park from his predecessor Fredrik Magnus Piper. From 1787 until 1790, his work primarily consisted of channel and islet landscape design. In 1800, Ackermann oversaw the planting of roughly 26,000 trees at each of the garden centers of Hagaparken. He was also notably employed by Samuel af Ugglas to shape the English park at Forsmark.

Demography
As per 2001 census, Gorta village has a population of 2991 distributed in 577 house holds. The village has post office with pin code 585327.

Gorta massacre
During 1948, during post-independence violence, hundreds of villagers in Gorta village were massacred by Razakars of Hyderabad. The village is also described as Jallianwalabag of Karnataka in view of mass killings witnessed on 9 and 10 May 1948. A stone plaque installed in front of the village gives the date of mass killing as 5 May 1948 and the fight continued for about two weeks. It is estimated that more than 200 people were killed by Razakars, the private army of Nizam of Hyderabad but the exact number of deaths was not recorded by body count. Shri K.M.Munshi, then Agent General of Union Government (of India), who visited the village after the massacre, in his book "End of an Era" (page 131 and 132) puts total deaths figures around 200 and property destruction worth Rs.70 lakhs.

The bitter memories of the massacre are remembered by the women folk of the village by way of songs called Bhulai pada, a semi-folk song. There is a long-standing demand from local people for construction of a memorial at Gorta. Local people and certain political parties have collected Rs.27 lakhs (as of September 2014) with an intention to construct a 35 foot tall memorial in the village and foundation stone was laid on 17 September 2014 (Hyderabad-Karnataka Liberation day) for the same.

title: Richard Jones (cricketer, born 1857)

text:
Richard Stoakes Jones (14 March 1857 – 9 May 1935) was an English lawyer and a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, Kent and Marylebone Cricket Club. He was born at Dymchurch, Kent and died there as well.

Jones was educated at Chatham House School in Ramsgate and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. On graduation from Cambridge University, he qualified as a solicitor and then practised in his home town for more than 50 years up to his death.

Cricket career
A right-handed middle-order batsman, Jones played in first-class matches in 1877 with little success for both Cambridge University and Kent. His record in 1878 was similar, and although he made 66 for Kent against Hampshire, six other innings produced only 40 runs between them. He was given a more extended run in the Cambridge team in the 1879 season, although not notably successful, and was also picked for the University match against Oxford, but failed to score in his only innings. Later in the same season, however, he made 82 playing for a "Gentlemen of Kent" side in a game against the Gentlemen of England which was captained by W. G. Grace.

The following year he did rather better and in the Cambridge University match against the Gentlemen of England, he scored 124, his only first-class century. That brought him his second University match, but he was little more successful than in his first, scoring 1 and 2. After leaving Cambridge, Jones appeared fairly often for Kent up to 1886 and played a few times for MCC as well; he made occasional useful scores but his highest in these years was 83 for Kent against Lancashire, a match which Kent managed to lose after making Lancashire follow on.

title: Mora Church

text:
Mora Church () is a church building in Mora in Sweden. It belongs to Mora Parish of the Church of Sweden. It famous for being seen near the Vasaloppet finish line. The size and opulence of the church building, as compared to other churches in the region, is a result of the fact that in medieval times the whole of northern Dalarna was part of the Mora Parish and the church served as the seat of Mora Parish. The church has been dedicated to the archangel Saint Michael since before the Protestant reformation and the establishment of the Church of Sweden in the 16th century. The effigy of Michael and the dragon, as seen in the statue south-west to the churches main gates, was adopted as the coat of arms of Mora in 1946 and continues to be in use to this day. The reason why the church is dedicated to Saint Michael is a mystery, the Mora Parish itself proposes a possible miss identification with the native Scandinavian Saint Olof but nothing conclusive has been put forward as to why this would be the case.

title: Tina Scala

text:
Tina Scala (July 16, 1935 – January 10, 2022) was an Italian-born American actress, model, singer and poet.

Early life
The daughter of an Italian father and an Irish mother, Scala's early life was one of privilege. As Agatina Carmen Maria Scoglio, she was born in Mili San Marco, Sicily, but became known as Tina.

At 17, she settled in Toronto, Ontario. In 1962, Scala began modeling fur coats in Toronto. When she heard that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was holding auditions, she applied, was accepted and began working in daytime television.

Career
Scala studied acting at the Actors Studio, dancing at Luigi School of Dance with Eugene Louis Faccuito and voice with Gian Carlo Menotti. She made appearances on some radio shows and television shows. In 1961, she made her film debut in The Children's Hour.

On December 27, 1966, Scala was dressed in a mini-skirt when a photographer from the New York Daily News by chance snapped her picture as she was stepping over a snow bank when making her way through the snows in Central Park. That photo was published in The Saratogian and seen by many U.S. soldiers stationed in Vietnam. The newspaper received requests as to the identity of the mini-skirted young lady. When Scala discovered that the boys overseas liked her photograph, she posed in a two-piece bikini and became a pin-up.

While Scala was working as a model and actress in New York City, her sister and her mother were living in Los Angeles, California. When her mother — a life-time smoker — became ill from lung cancer, Scala moved to Los Angeles to be near her family. She often accompanied her sister — actress Gia Scala — onto movie sets, where she had the opportunity to meet many famous movie stars. In an interview, she was asked, "Who was the first star you met?" She answered, "Audie Murphy ... his dressing room was next to Gia's and we could hear him talking to some girls and the girls were laughing loudly. When I met him he was very polite and personable." Scala continued to work in film, appearing as a woman in a laundromat in Midnight Cowboy (1969).

In 1972, Tina's sister Gia was found dead in her Hollywood Hills home. Her death was ruled accidental. Gia Scala was interred next to their mother in the Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City.

In 1976, Frank Cavestani interviewed Scala for his documentary Making It In Hollywood. She was dressed as Cinderella from the wedding scene, and he asked her, "Which is easier, working in film or theater?" She replied, "Film. Because in theater there are no second takes. You have to get it right the first time."

Personal life
Scala died on January 10, 2022, at the age of 86.

title: Chung-Chuan Cheng

text:
Chung-Chuan CHENG (, 1931-), a female Taiwanese painter, was born in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. She is the granddaughter of philanthropist, Lee His-Cin.

While majoring in Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University, Chung-Chuan Cheng joined the Fifth Moon Art Group, encouraged to set up by a painting professor Ji-Chun Liao in 1957. By the end of the same year, she gave up her studies and decided to reside in Japan with her husband. She did not work on any paintings for more than 30 years until she was nearly 60.

After that, she started holding solo exhibitions in Japan before returning to Taiwan for joining annual exhibitions of the Fifth Moon Art Group. Just before her 80th birthday, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall staged her art at an exhibition in 2011. Besides that, a private charity organization also took place to display her works for the benefit of the mental and physical disabled residents in Hsinchu. In 2013, Taipei Fine Arts Museum invited Chung-Chuan Cheng to join the group exhibition “Women Adventurers: Five Eras of Taiwanese Art, 1930-1983”.

At present, the artist enjoys leading a tranquil life and contentedly creating works.

Art Characteristics
Chung-Chuan Cheng learned painting from several professors at National Taiwan Normal University, such as Ji-Chun Liao, Shih-Chiao Li, Teh-Chun Chu and Dou-Ci Sun.  The artist used to represent still life portraits, and her art style tended to be realistic. After marrying a dentist, she had devoted her attention to the family for several decades.

By the end of 1980s, she began to paint again in her sixtieth. Chung-Chuan Cheng in Japan can hardly have chances to go travelling, so those mountains or rivers of her works are not the real scenery.  Moreover, some of her compositions look like veins or nerves proves that medical books exert a strong influence on her. Regarding colors, the artist appreciates noble golden, mysterious black, passionate red colors. Her works conveys elegance, warmth, and vigor. Being a kind and simple artist, Chung-Chuan Cheng considers that she is a fortunate person and aims to express love and positive ideas to everyone through her sincere creations.

Rose Bud Movie Palace
Nyback purchased the Rose Bud Movie Palace in Seattle in 1979. The Rosebud was dedicated to showing films from Hollywood's Golden Age. Part of that mandate included showing newsreels, cartoons and short subjects before feature films. It was then that he began purchasing short films to precede the features.  The Rosebud Movie Palace closed on August 31, 1981. During the last month, one and two night runs of classic films were screened under the heading of "The Greatest Movies Never Shown" including silent films: The Black Pirate (1926), Blood and Sand (1992) Kriemhild's Revenge (1924), The Cat and the Canary (1927), Hearts of the World (1918), The Joyless Street (1925), and The Marriage Circle (1924).  The last film was Sullivan's Travels (1941) on August 29–30.

Jewel Box Theater

In 1990, a selection of Scopitones was screened at the Jewel Box theater in Seattle by Dennis Nyback.
In 1989 he began a four-year run showing films every Tuesday (and occasionally other nights) at the Jewel Box Theater in Seattle. The screenings were held under the umbrella term "The Belltown Film Festival." During that time he created programs on Burlesque, Tin Pan Alley Songwriters, Blues Music.  One eight week series was called "A History of the World in 400 Minutes". In answer to the Gulf War he created the program "War: Is it for You?" In the early summer of 1990, Jack Stevenson arrived in Seattle from Boston having driven cross country with the trunk of his car filled with films. Nyback booked him into the Jewel Box for three days in August; with an extra fourth night being a free outdoor show to precede the Jewel Box shows. The urban drive-in occurred across the street from the Jewel Box in the parking lot of the Plumbers Union building. The wall of the plumber's building became the screen. A projector was set up on the rooftop across the parking lot and two feature films were shown: Viva Las Vegas (1964) and Hells Angels on Wheels (1967). Those in attendance were either in cars or on lawn chairs. Police did not disrupt the screening. In his year-end 1990 wrap up of film events in Seattle, William Arnold gave the Belltown Film Festival the award for "Most Consistently Daring Film Programs."

Jack Stevenson arranged for Nyback to come to Boston in the spring of 1991 to show films at The Primal Plunge, The Somerville Theater, and the Coolidge Corner Theater. Stevenson returned to Seattle in the summer of 1991 for more shows at the Jewel Box. Around Christmas 1991 all of Nyback's projection equipment was stolen from the Jewel Box projection booth. That coincided with the owner of the Rendezvous accepting a better financial offer to host film shows in the Jewel Box. To honor previously booked films the Belltown Film Festival moved across the street to Occupied Seattle for further screenings.

Pike street cinema
In 1992 Nyback opened the Pike Street Cinema in Seattle in partnership with Elizabeth Rozier. The theater was created in a storefront at 1108 Pike Street. The empty space was chosen because it had a loft at the back and the rent was cheap. The biggest expense was building a wall a third of the way into the space. That created the auditorium in back of it with the lobby in front. A 10 foot wide screen was hung on the new wall. 16mm and 35mm projectors were placed in the loft.  Seats were placed between.

The Pike Street Cinema showed a mix of Dennis Nyback productions, new independent feature films, silent features, and revival feature films.  It was also a home for various film groups to have regular events. They included the Backtrack Cinema Society hosted by Fred Hopkins, Cinema Experimento hosted by Jon Behrens, and ISC (Independent Short Cinema) hosted by Galen Young, Scott Castle, and William Isenberger. The ISC showcased works by independent filmmakers (in 16mm and 35mm) including Sarah Jacobson. Yau Ching, Bob Hutchinson and others. The ISC also brought in Bruce Baillie for a personal appearance that included screening Castro Street, All My Life and other Baillie films. Most notably the Backtrack Cinema Society brought in Sam Andrew of Big Brother and Holding Company for a personal appearance. In 1993 Nyback drove to Cleveland to see a baseball game at Cleveland Municipal Stadium which the Indians would vacate at the end of the year. To finance that trip he showed films in Detroit while Johannes Schönherr came to Seattle to run the Pike Street Cinema while Nyback was gone.

Among revival films screened was the curious 1975 Seattle production The Last Bath. Two storefronts down from the Pike Street Cinema was a tattoo parlor which sponsored a revival of The Illustrated Man starring Rod Steiger on a double feature with the film noir The Tattooed Stranger.  Anyone who showed a tattoo got a dollar off at the door.  Also revived were a series of Frederick Wiseman documentary films including Titicut Follies, High School, Law and Order, Meat, and Primate. The film "Sparkles Tavern" had its Seattle premiere at the Pike St. in October 1992. The world premiere of Sparkle's Tavern had been scheduled for the 1984 Seattle International Film Festival with Curt McDowell, George Kuchar and Marion Eaton in person. At the time of the screening no complete print was ready. The screening was attempted with a and B unmarried rolls projected with an interlock system.  It failed with refunds given to the full house crowd.

Silent Films at the Pike Street Cinema were often accompanied by Lori Goldston. Those included Spies by Fritz Lang (2/21/93), The Blot by Lois Weber (April 17, 1994), The Penalty with Lon Chaney (March 16, 1995), Leaves from Satan's Book directed by Carl Dreyer (3/20-21/95), He Who Gets Slapped starring Lon Chaney (March 23, 1995),The Passion of Joan of Arc  directed by Carl Dreyer (March 27, 1995), The Blackbird starring Lon Chaney (March 30, 1995), Vampyr directed by Carl Dreyer (April 3-4, 1995), and Where East is East starring Lon Chaney (April 13, 1995).

In 1995 Nyback dismantled the theater, loaded it into a truck, and drove it to New York. He used the screen, seats, projectors etc. to open the Lighthouse Cinema.  In 2002, in The Seattle Stranger 's ten-year anniversary issue, in an article entitled "Top 10 Great Film Events" Sean Nelson listed the closing of the Pike Street Cinema as the number 3 event

Lighthouse Cinema
The Lighthouse Cinema, at 116 Suffolk Street, at Rivington, on the Lower East Side of New York opened in the early winter of 1996. Nyback reused the projectors, screen, and seats from the Pike Street Cinema. He was assisted by Johannes Schonherr who ran the theater while Nyback was showing films in Europe in spring 1996.

Between February 8–16, 1996, Takahiko Iimura appeared in person with his films.

June 12 through the 20th, 1996 saw the first major retrospective of the works of George and Mike Kuchar with an eight-day festival showing every film available, forty titles in 8mm and 16mm, from the Filmmakers Co-op. The opening night featured a book release party hosted by Creation Books for Jack Stevenson's first book Desperate Visions: The Films of John Waters & the Kuchar Brothers. Appearing on opening night were George and Mike Kuchar, Jack Stevenson, Taylor Mead, Richard Kern, Todd Phillips, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, Nick Zedd, and various people who had been involved in the Kuchar films from the early days.

Mike Wallace and his wife came to the May 31, 1996 screening of the 1967 CBS Special Report: The Homosexuals and answered questions after the screening.

The Lighthouse was mentioned in publications such as New York Magazine which reported on The Mormon Church Explains it All to You and also The Give Me Liberty Summer of Love Movie Festival. The New York Times reviewed the feature film Highway of Heartache. There was a feature article titled "To the Lighthouse" in The Village Voice. The New York Native ran an article entitled: "Welcome to the Lighthouse: Where Mormon Propaganda Movies Meet Battleship Potemkin and Wild in the Streets". It mentioned The Mormon Church Explains it All to You, The Give Me Liberty Psychedelic Summer Anything Goes Films Festival, Marsha Brady Fetish Night, and others.  It concluded: "At the time when your local fourplex is probably playing Mission Impossible on all its screens, with shows starting every half-hour, Lighthouse Cinema is the kind of movie house New York needs".  At about that time, offered a deal by his landlord Mark Glass, Nyback accepted a buyout to vacate the theater and closed it. In 1997 The New York Times reported that the landlord Mark Glass had been arrested for attempted murder and arson against tenants of his building who did not accept payout offers to leave.

Independent in New York
After closing the Lighthouse Cinema, Nyback remained in New York partially supporting himself by screening independent films shows. His program "Screw the Mouse: Ripoffs, Parodies and Deviant Versions of Disney Cartoons and Characters" ran for one week at the Cinema Village, on East 12th Street, in Manhattan, from January 3 to 10.  From January 15 to February 19, 1997, he had a six-week screening every Wednesday at the Cinema Village.  Patricia Thompson reported on it:....Nyback's eclectic series offers some true rarities, like the patently racist jazz films (1/22) in which Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith, Cab Calloway and other jazz greats not only play, but act.  The series then jumps to cross-dressing clips(1/29) existential educational films from the gray-flannel '50s (2/5), '60s vision of the year 2000 (2/12), and cigarette and beer ads (2/19).  Nyback will be on hand to introduce his quirky fare, which alone should be worth the price of admission.  Bad Bugs Bunny remained in England with a screening at the Harbor Lights Cinema, in Southampton in February 1997. His next engagement at the  Cinema Village was Scopitone A Go Go, in April 1997. MTV transferred the program to videotape and  Michael Shore interviewed Nyback for a news item that played on MTV news.  At the Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle, in June and July, he ran 32 nights of silent films. He was at the Clinton Street Theater in the fall and showed films in San Francisco at the Minna Street Gallery before flying to Manchester, England to be guest at the KinoFilm Festival in November. He returned to San Francisco for shows at the Minna Street Gallery between Christmas and New Years.

In February and March 1998 he had a weekly film series at the Cinema Village.  He showed films in Europe April and May; his first summer west coast shows were at the Minna Street Gallery in June.  He did a program of films featuring barber shops at the Wedig Blues Barber Shop in Seattle on July 25, and had engagements at the Clinton Street Theater in August and November. He was a guest at the Interfilm Short Film Festival in Berlin in December.

Nyback was a guest at the International Film Festival, Reykjavik, Iceland, in January 1999. He showed films at The Collective:Unconscious in February and April, and in June showed films at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland. He did another silent film series in Seattle at the Grand Illusion Cinema in June. In Seattle he made a deal with Anne Rozier to take over the Clinton Street Theater in Portland. His last independent New York shows were at The First World, New York City, All Night Experimental Film Festival and a Scopitone show at Rubulad, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in July.

Clinton Street Theater
In September 1999 he moved to Portland, Oregon to take over the Clinton Street Theater During his time operating it with Anne Rozier, the theater showed a mix of new and revival films, as well as Nyback's creations using his archive. His shows included: "Defining the 1970s Through Classic Commercials","Bad Bugs Bunny", "Strange and Surreal Industrial Films", "F&#k Mickey Mouse", "Scopitone a Go Go", "Jazz on Film", "The Dark Side of Dr. Seuss", "Forty Years of Classic Commercials", and "The Genius of Bob Clampett".

In July 2000 he produced a monthlong festival of blaxploitation films.  In The Oregonian review Shawn Levy wrote: Some things you're lucky just to be around for. Take the month long celebration of African American cinema at the Clinton Street Theater. Availing himself of his remarkable archive of films, Clinton co-owner Dennis Nyback has put together a string of films an earnest person could use as the basis of a book: documentaries, rare bits of TV programming, Hollywood features, films made for the all-black market, silent movies, footage of the likes of Billie Holiday and the Nicholas brothers – a true cinematic panoply of the black experience of the 20th century.

Jazz Singer
Nyback sang with the John Holte Swing Band in 1979 and 1980. He also sang with various small bands in many Seattle taverns being backed by Ham Carson, John Draper, Buck Evans and other jazz musicians, doing primarily Twenties and Thirties material.  Nyback sang one song, Them There Eyes, in his cabaret show Can't We Be Friends: The Women of Tin Pan Alley, that played in Seattle for two weeks in 1993.  The show was performed by Nora Michaels, who asked Nyback to do the one song so the audience could see who created the show. The pianist for the show was Jack Brownlow.
  In New York Nyback sits in and sings with Vince Giordano and His Nighthawks Orchestra.

Radio host
Nyback, under the pseudonym of "Buck Dollars, the Man with no Musical Sense," hosted the show "Vintage Jazz" on KBCS 91.3FM, Bellevue Community College, every Thursday from 9:30AM to noon, from early 1989 to early 1992. The station director there when he started was Harriet Baskas.  In Portland he has hosted shows on KBOO 90.7FM including The Outside World and Radio Lost and Found as well as appearing frequently on The Film Show and The Monday Sampler.

Art and installations
In Seattle, Washington in  November 1994, Nyback created an installation using three 16mm projectors providing images on walls and the ceiling at oblique angles in an industrial setting for the Northwest Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies gala event "Fantasmi di Fellini". In New York in 2005, he created an installation involving back projection onto a scrim curtain to be viewed as spectral images from the sidewalk outside a storefront on W 37th Street as the first event of the Chashama "The False Body" series curated by Alice Reagan. In 2006 in Portland, Nyback teamed with Mack McFarland on the PICA TBA artist with the project the Portland That Was. It consisted of an interactive website portlandwas.com and the staging of three outdoor film screenings in three different public spaces along the Willamette River. The culmination of the TBA event was the "All Night Long Film Caravan" where Nyback projected films on the outside of downtown Portland buildings that were related to historic events of the past in that site specific place.  The films were projected in 16mm with sound; all equipment was transported between sites on bicycles. In March 2011, in Kiel, Germany Nyback worked with the Film Group Chaos and Karsten Weber to create an installation using three 16mm projectors, three 8mm projectors, and three slide projectors, situated on, and among, disabled water works machinery for the Filmfest Schleswig-Holstein Augenweide.

Motion picture projectionist
Nyback was hired to be a  projectionist at The Movie House theater in Seattle, by Randy Finley in 1973 while he was student at the University of Washington allowing him to work his way through college.
In 1975 he was hired as a projectionist at the Moore Egyptian Theater in Seattle by Dan Ireland. In 1976 he was the lead projectionist for the first Seattle International Film Festival at the Moore Egyptian.  During the third Seattle International Film Festival, in the Spring of 1978, he ran every screening. That same year he became a member of the Seattle Projectionist Union I.A.T.S.E. #154. One of his first union jobs was at the Green Parrot Theater. He worked through the projectionist union until 1993.

Education
At the University of Washington he studied short story writing with Jack Cady, play writing with David Wagoner, psychology with Elizabeth Loftus and dance with Ruthanna Boris and Tommy Rall. He finished his college education in 1978 with a BA in Psychology.

Historian and writer
Nyback wrote, produced and directed the cabaret musical Can't We be Friends in Seattle in 1993 which played in May and June, starring Nora Michaels, featuring the pianist Jack Brownlow. Can't We be Friends was the inspiration for the PBS special American Masters Yours for a Song: The Women of Tin Pan Alley (1999).  His memoir "Seattle Art and Grind" about events at Seattle movie theaters is in the book From the Arthouse to the Grind House. His six panel cartoon about the life and career of Rudy Vallée "The Man with the Megaphone" was first published in WFMU's magazine Lowest Common Denominator in 1999 and reprinted in The Best of LCD:The Art and Writing of WFMU-FM 91.1 FM in 2007.
