title: The X Factor (New Zealand series 2)

text:
The second and final series of the New Zealand television reality music competition The X Factor premiered on TV3 in February 2015. Pre-auditions began in October 2014. As well as again being open to singers aged 14 and over, the series was also open to bands, which had to contain no more than five members and have at least two singers. The contestants were split into the show's four traditional categories: Boys, Girls, Over 25s and Groups.

The series premiered on Sunday 15 February, and screened three nights per week (SundayTuesday) until March 15, when it returned to the regular schedule of two nights per week (SundayMonday). As well as being broadcast on TV3, the full series was also streamed live on TV3's website. The live shows were simulcast on More FM.

The series was again hosted by Dominic Bowden. Both former All Saints singer Melanie Blatt and Australian Idol winner Stan Walker returned to judge the series. They were joined by new judges, married couple Willy Moon and Natalia Kills until the first live show when they were both fired after bullying a contestant, then former The X Factor Australia judge Natalie Bassingthwaighte and I Am Giant drummer Shelton Woolright from the second live show.

The series was accompanied by spin-off show The Xtra Factor, which was hosted by Guy Williams, Sharyn Casey, and Clint Roberts, and screened on Four immediately after The X Factor.

As of February 2016, five acts from series 2 have been signed to a certain music label. Beau Monga, Mae Valley, Brendon Thomas and The Vibes were signed to Sony Music New Zealand, Stevie Tonks was signed to Christian music label "Parachute" and Finlay Robertson had received a grant by NZ On Air to release a single titled "Control".

Development
The X Factor was created by Simon Cowell in the United Kingdom and the New Zealand version is based on the original UK series. Broadcast funding agency NZ On Air contributed $800,000 as a minority investor, for the production of 41 episodes of 60 minutes duration each.

The series' broadcast sponsor is McDonald's, with Mazda, Fruttare, 2degrees and VO5 as programme partners.

The initial pre-audition tour of 13 towns and cities was held in October and early November 2014, with the judges' auditions round filmed in Auckland in late November and early December. The Boot Camp round was filmed in mid-January 2015 in Auckland.

Judges and host

In September, two of the judges from the first series, Stan Walker and Melanie Blatt, were confirmed to return as judges. The other two judges from the first series, Daniel Bedingfield and Ruby Frost, were confirmed as not returning for the second series, with Frost wanting to focus on her music career. In October the final two judges were confirmed as New Zealand-born singer Willy Moon and his wife, English singer Natalia Kills.
On 16 March 2015, only hours before the second live results show, Kills and Moon were sacked from the show after a public backlash ensued against the couple after they berated a contestant's appearance on air during the first live show the previous night (15 March). More than 50,000 people signed a petition to get the couple sacked. For the show on 16 March, there were only two judges on the panel. The X Factor Australia judge Natalie Bassingthwaighte and New Zealand-born I Am Giant drummer Shelton Woolright were named as the replacements of Moon and Kills respectively.

In August 2014, Dominic Bowden was confirmed to return as the host of the second series.

Selection process

Pre-auditions
The first appeal for applicants was made on 24 August 2014, with the announcement of the application process and pre-audition tour details. Pre-auditions in front of the show's producers began on 11 October 2014 and travelled through 13 locations around New Zealand. This was a reduction from the 27 locations visited for the first series, with the second series focusing mainly on cities. Bands were also able to pre-audition in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch or by uploading a performance video.

Judges' auditions

The auditionees chosen by the producers were invited back to the last set of auditions that took place in front of the judges and a live studio audience. These auditions were filmed at SkyCity Theatre in Auckland from 26 November to 2 December 2014 and broadcast from 15 February. The successful contestants then progressed to the Boot Camp round.

Notable returning auditionees included three contestants who had competed in the first series: Finlay Robertson, who made it to judges' retreats; Hannah Cosgrove, who reached the second day of Boot Camp; and Kalsey Goodall and Nofo Lameko, who also made it to Boot Camp.

Steve Broad previously appeared on the second series of NZ Idol in 2005, where he placed third, and on Pop's Ultimate Star in 2007. Archie Hill and Rick Aslett  were two separate acts that appeared on series three of New Zealand's Got Talent (series 3) at the audition stage in 2013.

Boot Camp

The Boot Camp round was filmed at Vector Arena in Auckland in mid-January 2015 and broadcast from 1 to 3 March. In the first part of Boot Camp, the 101 acts were divided into groups of eight and giving a song to sing. From here they were reduced down to a top 64 and were introduced to their category judge. In the six-seat challenge, the 12 acts in each category performed one song each for the judges and were allocated a seat or sent home. If all seats were filled, a swap had to take place with a previously seated contestant. Any contestant under 16 could not be swapped out if they were given a seat.

The 24 successful acts were:

Reception

Critique and controversies

Producer interference

In December 2014, vlogger Brad Fisher claimed that during a taping of the judges' auditions, he saw the show's producer giving the judges hand signals to guide them on which contestants to put through to Boot Camp. However, judge Stan Walker denied the claims, saying that while the producers give the judges background information on the contestants, it was up to the judges to choose who goes through.

Natalia Kills outburst

During the filming of the final judges' auditions session in December 2014, while giving feedback to busker Sally Faherty, judge Natalia Kills used strong language, including profanity, to admonish audience members. Some members of the audience were shocked at the outburst and walked out. A TV3 spokeswoman said both the network and Kills apologised for the incident. The incident was featured in the final audition episode, with the profanity bleeped out. Faherty was also heard using bleeped language backstage.

Shae Brider

In the sixth audition show, singer Shae Brider auditioned and was put through to the Boot Camp round. In the episode, Brider revealed that he had been involved in a 2004 murder in Wanganui and had served six years in prison for manslaughter. In reaction to criticism from the public and media, MediaWorks New Zealand issued a statement saying that Brider's criminal record had been fully disclosed when he entered The X Factor and that the New Zealand justice system considers that Brider has paid his debt to society and apologised for any distress the episode may have caused viewers. Donna Travers, the mother of Brider's victim, told media she was "devastated" by Brider's X Factor appearance and felt "revictimised". Brider later told media that he regretted appearing on the series and had not thought through the impact of his appearance. TV3 announced that the first two bootcamp episodes would start with an apology to Travers and her family. International The X Factor producers FremantleMedia Australia and Syco Entertainment discussed the situation with the show's producers, with a spokesperson for FreemantleMedia describing the inclusion of Brider on the show was "a very poor editorial decision" and that "a more rigid approval process" would ensure a similar situation would not happen in future.

Berating of contestant
During the first live show, Kills bullied and humiliated Joe Irvine during the judges' comments, stating that there was "a doppelganger in our midst". Kills called out Irvine on his apparent copying of her husband, Willy Moon's hairstyle and dress sense. Kills deemed the contestant a "laughing stock", overtly "cheesy" and "disgusting". Moon continued her rant, saying that Irvine was "like Norman Bates dressing up in his mother's clothing, it's just a little bit creepy". Viewer response to the comments was overwhelmingly negative, with some calling for Kills and Moon to be fired from the show mid-series, some calling them out on their hypocrisy about originality and others simply stating the comments to be disgusting themselves. A Facebook page demanding the two be fired was set up on 15 March 2015, and within twelve hours had amassed over 50,000 likes. The incident led to criticism from the show's sponsors, franchise owner and fellow judges.

Moon and Kills were both fired from the show the day after the incident and left Auckland for Los Angeles. Upon arrival in Los Angeles, Kills made her first public comments on the controversy by wishing luck to Joe Irvine and those in her former category luck in the competition, dismissing the idea of a "manufactured conspiracy" and also stated that "there are many sides to this story". The following day both Kills and Moon made further comments via Twitter, with Kills explicitly apologising to Joe Irvine, while Moon wished him luck in the competition. Kills and Moon were replaced by former X Factor Australia judge Natalie Bassingthwaighte and New Zealand-born drummer Shelton Woolright respectively with immediate effect from the second live show.

title: Alberto Yarini

text:
Alberto Yarini y Ponce de León (5 February 1882 – 21 November1910) was a Cuban racketeer and pimp during the period of the Cuban War of Independence against Spain. Yarini was well known in his time, is Cuba's most famous pimp, and came to symbolize the concept of Cubanidad, the Cuban national identity, to many Cubans, long after his death.

Yarini was born into an elite family, once owners of a Matanzas sugar plantations, with his father a dentist, and his uncle a medical surgeon, in Havana. He was educated in the United States, spoke fluent English as well as Spanish, and was politically well connected. He became known for importing prostitutes from France, and worked out of San Isidro, a barrio and red light district in Old Havana. He was killed on November 21, 1910, by gunfire from rival French pimp Louis Lotot and his confederates, who had been waiting for him. Lotot was himself killed in return gunfire from Yarini's bodyguard.

Legacy
Cuban composer Carlos Felipe Hernández wrote the 1960 musical theatre piece Réquiem por Yarini, about Yarini's life. Los Dioses Rotos (Fallen Gods), a 2009 film by Cuban filmmaker Ernesto Daranas, was based in part on Réquiem, and was a submission by Cuba to the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.

Yarini is the subject of an upcoming dramatic film, The Prince of Old Havana, by Cuban American writer, actress and director Migdia Chinea-Varela.

title: Bhaskar Save

text:
Bhaskar Hiraji Save (27 January 1922 – 24 October 2015), known in India as the "Gandhi of natural farming", was an educator, entrepreneur, farmer, and activist.

Biography

Bhaskar Save was born in the coastal village of Dehri, India, on the Arabian Sea into a family belonging to the Wadval community of farm tenders. His early years were spent in Dehri, at that time a small town in Valsad district in the state of Gujarat, where modern conveniences, like electricity, did not yet exist. Farming was a natural, integral part of life, changing according to the season, but regulated by the monsoon, which signaled the beginning of a new production season.

As a child, Bhaskar Save learned the value of cooperation. Like most other local farmers, Save's family grew mainly rice, pulses, and some vegetables. People often worked together on each other's fields when extra hands were needed to transplant or harvest a paddy field.

Often, he accompanied his father on bullock cart trips through forests to neighboring areas. After encountering the Warli tribe, he was fascinated by their way of life and culture, and particularly awed by their belief that God lived in green trees. Among the Warli, trees were never cut down till they dried and shed all trace of green from their body. It was an idea that struck a chord and was to be applied in his own farming career, since the planting of tree crops was not a part of his family's traditional agricultural practices.

His formal education included "Standard 7" of the old system (equivalent to "class 10" today), followed by two years of work towards the Primary Training Certificate. This qualified him to teach in a secondary school in a neighboring village, which he did for 10 years.

On 2 February 1951, Bhaskar Save married Malatibai, who has since been his companion. The same year, the Save family began digging their well. By 1952, the well was completed and a waterwheel was constructed. After harvesting their monsoon rice, the family grew irrigated winter vegetables. And for the first time in his life, Bhaskar Save used chemical fertilizer, together with dung manure – for his vegetable plants. And, in 1953, he used chemicals for his rain-fed rice paddy as well.

The harvest he reaped attracted attention from a director of the Gujarat State Fertilizer Corporation who offered Save an agency contract for marketing their chemical fertilizer. His job included instructing farmers in its use, for which he was promised a commission of Rs 5 on every bag of the chemicals he sold. Soon, Save was recognized as a "model farmer" for his use of the new technology. Several agricultural scientists from Pune and elsewhere drew on his experience for conducting their field trials.

By 1954–55, Save had already earned enough money to buy one hectare of land suitable for growing rice to begin his own family farm. This was the first of the plots purchased on which today stands the Save family's Kalpavruksha farm, now a 6 hectare orchard, in Umbergaon region, a coastal zone of South Gujarat.

By 1956, Save reverted to his father's traditional farming methods. However, inspired by both the writings of Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave, particularly an article by Vinoba on farming practices of certain adivasis, he decided to revert to an organic system on one paddy for experimentation. This called for changing the impounded water several times in one plot (during pauses in the monsoon rains), without using any chemicals. This, too, was successful.

Though his yield declined the first year, so did his expenses and gradually he converted more acreage, which he reserved entirely for organic experimentation. Organic methods of crop rotation, the planting of un-irrigated pulse legumes, like beans, Bengal gram, moong, and so on after harvesting his organic rice were implemented. He found that winter pulses, which supplied an abundance of atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, grew entirely on the sub-soil moisture still present from the recent monsoon. When the pulses were harvested, cattle were allowed to browse the crop residue in the field, thereby recycling their manure to condition the soil as well.

In 1957, Bhaskar Save built a small home on his new, now present, farm, which had grown to two hectares and moved there with his family. Raising an orchard was now his major preoccupation, and he wanted to spend more time working and observing. By 1960, he had eliminated the use of chemicals on his farm.

Save's Philosophy of Natural Farming

Bhaskar Save developed his system of natural farming after being induced to use chemical fertilizers, which after three years he realized was not returning value to him or his land. He later commented that: "By ruining the natural fertility of the soil, we actually create artificial 'needs' for more and more external inputs and unnecessary inputs for ourselves, while the results are inferior and more expensive in every way."

The concept and practice of Natural Farming was pioneered by Masanobu Fukuoka of Japan, who visited Save at his Kalpavruksh farm in 1997 as a special guest to commemorate India's 50 years of independence led by Mahatma Gandhi. While both men depended on tree crops for the sustainability of their farms, Save organized his own vision of natural farming far more aggressively around the active irrigation of his tree crops, supplemented by grains, vegetables, and livestock. Save is credited with pioneering the platform and trench system to provide water to his tree crops storing moisture in the soil year round. In the beginning, in order to sustain his farm until the long-life fruit trees matured and yielded value, he integrated short, medium and long-life plant species into his early scheme to rapidly establish complete ground cover and optimize yield. Briefly, Save's polyculture plant categories and natural farming philosophy are based on this pattern:

 Short-life span crops, which refer to annual vegetables, grains, herbs, annual flowers.
 Medium-life span edible crops, which include flowers, grains, grasses and fruit trees.
 Long-life span crops, which are perennial vegetables, such as rhubarb, horseradish, asparagus; perennial herbs, some alliums (leeks, chives, garlic), some members of the Brassica family (collards and kale); and bramble fruits (raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry), nut trees (filbert, chestnut, almond, or pecan), fruit trees (kalpavriksha, chikoo, and coconut), and some grasses, like alfalfa.

Save's idea for platforms resulted from a need to grow trees on low-lying paddy fields. To elevate the land, he constructed raised earthen mounds or berms and was then able to plant his saplings. Initially, he simply broaden the berms between his rice plots, depending solely on the monsoon rains for moisture. Later, he was granted permission by the village panchayat to excavate at his own expense a village pond on some uncultivated common land near his farm. The soil that was dug out – as the pond was gradually enlarged and deepened each year – further served to elevate and expand his "platforms" for the trees.

Initially, the saplings of coconut or chikoo (long life-span species) were intercropped only with vegetables (short life-span species). Later, Bhaskar Save integrated other crops like bananas and papayas (medium life-span) among his chikoos and coconuts – to optimize the use of the available sunlight until the long-life trees matured and cast thick shade on the ground. Today, 90% of the family's income is earned from chikoo and coconut production.

In 2006, Bhaskar Save, published an "Open Letter" to the Minister of Agriculture and other top officials to bring attention to the mounting suicide rate and debt among farmers and to encourage them to abandon their policies of importing and promoting the use of toxic chemical fertilizers that were a source of the problem.

Recognition

Beyond the many awards that Bhaskar Save has received, his  reworking of an ancient trench and platform system for irrigated fruit trees, like banana, chikoo and coconut has been recognized by the United Nations (2001) and others as one of the most important orchard production systems in the world.

title: Warrioota

text:
Warrioota Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station in South Australia.

It is situated about  south west of Leigh Creek and  north west of Blinman. The property shares a boundary with Nilpena Station and abuts Lake Torrens. The landscape consists of undulating saltbush and sandhill country interspersed with grassed flats.

In 1913 the property was owned by W. L. Whyte and Peter Whyte who both died the same year. The executors of their wills sold the  property to Walter Henry McFarlane. McFarlane placedit up for auction in 1920 when it was stocked with about 2,000 sheep and 270 cattle. T. H. Pearse of the Gums Station bought Warrioota for £10,000. Pearse appointed William Place as the station manager later the same year. The area had been going through a dry spell for the past few years but in 1921 the rains came with  falling in a single day. Pearse reported that abundant feed was available for stock by April of that year.

Grant Matheson purchased Warrioota from Pearse in 1923 for £11,000. Matheson also owned the adjoining property Nilpena station. Warrioota occupied an area of  and was stocked with 1,800 sheep and 300 cattle. Wild dogs had become troublesome so Matheson intended to construct many miles of vermin-proof fencing on the northern boundary. Matheson still owned the property in 1926 along with neighbouring Nilpena Station which together occupied an area of . He was running about 15,000 sheep across the two properties.

The Nilpena Pastoral Company put both Nilpena and Warrioota up for auction in 1947 as one lot. The properties had a total area of . The properties were divided into 14 sheep paddocks and watered by six wells and three bores. Both the stone homestead at Nilpena and the weatherboard homestead at Warrioota were included in the sale.

title: Despedida (Shakira song)

text:
"Despedida" () is a song recorded by Colombian singer Shakira for the extended play (EP) and soundtrack Love in the Time of Cholera (2008). The song was written by her and Pedro Aznar originally for the Mike Newell-directed 2007 movie adaptation of Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez's 1985 novel Love in the Time of Cholera. Antonio Pinto handled its composition and production. Shakira was initially offered a role by the producers of the movie to take part as the main protagonist. However, she refused the offer and accepted to collaborate with the musical team due to her friendship with García Márquez. Musically, "Despedida" is a folk song which discusses nostalgic love sentiments towards a person the protagonist lost.

Although the movie received unfavorable reviews from critics, "Despedida" was praised by music reviewers for depicting the novel's spirit. "Despedida" was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the category for Best Original Song at the award ceremony held in 2008. The song managed to appear on the Billboard Latin Digital Songs charts due to digital downloads following its release on the EP. Shakira performed it live during the screening of the movie and at the stops of her The Sun Comes Out World Tour (2010–11) where she sang it as a medley  with "Nothing Else Matters" (1992) by American band Metallica. The National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia performed the song live during a homage following García Márquez's death in 2014.

Background

In 1999, Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez met Shakira. He conducted an interview with her for Colombian magazine Cambio. At the time of the publication of the article, García Márquez expressed Shakira's originality in the music scene. Following this, both of them established friendly relations with one another. During late 2006, the filming of the 2007 movie adaptation of García Márquez's novel Love in the Time of Cholera (1985) started. The story revolves around the character of Florentino Ariza and "his unconditional love for the beautiful Fermina Daza and the sentimental triangle that develops with the regional doctor".

Initially, the producers of the movie offered Shakira a role in it, which would mark her cinematic debut. However, she turned down the offer, claiming that she was not comfortable with the nude scenes that were featured in the movie. Nevertheless, Shakira offered to compose the score of the movie due to her friendship with García Márquez and his influence on her. She started working for the material of the movie with Argentine composer Pedro Aznar in London, England during the second half of 2007. During the sessions, the duo composed "Despedida" and "Hay Amores", the latter being the movie's theme song. "Despedida" was described as a folk song which discusses the melancholy of losing a beloved person. According to Gerardo González from La Nación, the song appears in the "key parts of the movie's plot to emphasize the actors' emotions". During the release of the movie in November 2007, Shakira elaborated in an interview: "Being part of the movie was a personal motivation because it is an extraordinary novel of one of the most extraordinary writers in history and a personal friend [...] [while composing the songs I wanted] to present my country's beauty and the works of García Márquez".

Critical reception
In the review of the soundtrack, Thom Jurek from the website AllMusic commented that Shakira's song on the EP which included "not only traditional instruments but folk song structures (no pop)" give buyers "something worth paying [their] hard-earned money for". John Li from the website Moviexclusive commented that "Despedida" is "emotionally powerful", and noted that all three of Shakira's songs are "accompanied by [her] signature vocals". Elkin Lara of Caracol Radio wrote, "In 'La Despedida' Shakira once again proves her capacity of transforming herself and how she can be oped to every kind of project and music challenge". Ricardo Sandoval and Eduardo Neira, a literary and a cinema critic respectively, wrote that the song sticks out for saving the movie and "preserving the spirit of Gabriel García Márquez's novel more than the movie itself". "Despedida" received a nomination at the 65th Golden Globe Awards in the category for Best Original Song, but lost to "Guaranteed" by Eddie Vedder for the movie Into the Wild (2007). Additionally, the track was pre-selectioned for a nomination of an Academy Award for Best Original Song but did not manage to place itself at the 80th Academy Awards. It was also nominated for a World Soundtrack Award for Best Original Song Written Directly for a Film at the 2008 awards ceremony.

Live performances

On November 6, 2007, Shakira accompanied by her then-boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa, appeared on the screening of the movie Love in the Time of Cholera in Las Vegas, Nevada and confirmed that three of her own songs would be included on the soundtrack album. During the evening, Shakira performed all three song - "Hay amores", "Despedida" and "Pienso en ti". The same night, she confirmed that the money gathered from the entry tickets would be donated to her Barefoot Foundation.

Shakira included the song on the setlist of her The Sun Comes Out World Tour (2010–11), where she performed it as a medley with "Nothing Else Matters" (1992), by American band Metallica. For the performance she was dressed with a crop top and a red skirt. Jon Pareles from The New York Times praised her performance in New York, saying that "she used her body, with a girlish grin and dance moves of finely calibrated sensuality: angular hip twitches and smooth slow-motion swivels, chest thrusts and sinuous wrist turns, as if her every joint rotates 360 degrees". A writer of Sprinning Platters praised the performance of the song, calling it a "seductive dance number in which she managed to test the skill and professionalism of her drummer by incorporating him into her moves", further dubbing it a "'you had to be here' moment". The live performance of "Despedida" was included on her album Live from Paris (2011) which was filmed during the concerts held on June 13 and 14 at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy. It was also made available for purchase on the iTunes Store and released to the singer's official Vevo account on January 11, 2012.

Following García Márquez's death in 2014, the National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia held a homage concert in his honor on April 30, 2015 at the Teatro Colón in Bogotá. Paul Dury led the concert where tributes of the songs from the soundtrack of Love in the Time of Cholera were performed. During the concert, Manuela Pinto, the daughter of compositor Antonio Pinto, and artist Cecilia Silva Caraballo sang a version of "Despedida" accompanied by Colombian and Brazilian musicians who played traditional instruments including a marimba.

Charts
On December 24, 2011, "Despedida" debuted and peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot Latin Digital Songs following the release of the album Live in Paris. It also managed to peak on the component US Latin Pop Digital Songs chart.

title: Kolb and Dill

text:
Kolb and Dill was the stage name of the vaudeville team founded by Clarence Kolb and Max Dill.

Background
Kolb and Dill were born in Cleveland, Ohio, and were boyhood friends who decided to go into show business together. The book Vaudeville Old & New lists their prominence and earliest records dating to 1901.

Early acts
The earliest newspaper mention highlights Kolb and Dill's act as part of a new bill at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, in 1899. On September 3, 1899, the Cedar Point listed a change in their bill which noted that "Ferrell and Starck, comedy trick bicyclists, always keep their audiences in a roar with their humorous act and will be complimented in their mirth-provoking efforts by Kolb and Dill, the German comedians." The ad on the fourth page of the paper, however, positioned their act over Ferrell and Starck and noted that the production would be a Sunday matinee and run daily for the week. The act they were performing was named "Together Side by Each" and described by the paper as "very funny" and noted that the bill listed some of the best performers of the vaudeville stage.

The Times of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, featured an article on September 24, 1899, that noted Fred Irwin's "Majestic Burlesquers" were going to be performing at the Trocadero and that Kolb and Dill, billed as the German comedians, were a part of the act. Fred Irwin was a noted producer whose "Majestic Burlesquers" was new, but popular in December 1898. The performance at the Trocadero was noted as having "plenty to keep the large attendance fully entertained." Kolb and Dill would continue their act as it moved to the Star Theater in Brooklyn, New York. The Indianapolis News noted that the act had performed in the Empire theatre on February 5, 1900, again citing Kolb and Dill's continued role in the bill. A week later they were noted in Saint Louis, Missouri, on February 11, 1900. They had a performance at Sam T. Jack's Theater on March 4, 1900. The performance later moved to Kernan's Theater for a week of performances in mid-March. The "Majestic Burlesquers" would return to the Trocadero in May 1900.

By June 25, Kolb and Dill are no longer mentioned as part of Irwin's "Majestic Burlesquers" in an act at the Suburban. On July 1, the Inter-Ocean mentioned Kolb and Dill as part of another vaudeville act that would last for one week. The St Louis Republic compared Kolb and Dill's act to the Rogers Brothers, major rivals of Weber and Fields, on July 9, 1900, but did not elaborate on the act itself. Kolb and Dill performed as part of the reopening of the Hopkin's Theater. Kolb and Dill's act on the Hopkins was short with an ad lasting through about August 3 before they had an act at Sunnyside Park on August 5, 1900. Two more changes with venues, with the Chicago Opera House, Masonic Temple Theater, and Sans Souci occurred in mid-August. Kolb and Dill then went to Ohio in September and also performed an act at the Elk's Carnival, which the Elyria Republican highlighted the vaudeville act as the main feature and noted Kolb and Dill's status as well-known a German sketch team. Kolb and Dill then headed to San Francisco, California and took their act to the Orpheum on September 23, 1900. Kolb and Dill continued to perform at the Orpheum until at least October 4, before returning to Chicago's Hopkins theater in early November. In mid-December 1900, Kolb and Dill were listed as part of the Columbia Theater.

In January 1901, Kolb and Dill disbanded from their company and rejoined Fred Irwin's group for a performance on January 20, 1901. They did not stay long with Irwin's group and were in Keith's Theater in the beginning of February 1901. Though a week later the Order of White Rats of America began a strike and Kolb and Dill had sent word of their illness, along with others, announcing their inability to perform after the Sunday matinee at the Philadelphia Theater, but returned to the theater minutes before the 8 p.m. show. The Philadelphia Theater, part of the Keith's Theater circuit, was part of a larger threat to walk out that forced the management to set a meeting to discuss their grievances on the following day, February 8, 1901. On March 17, Kolb and Dill were again part of Fred Irwin's "Majestic Burlesquers" which were to perform for a week in the Trocado Theater. Kolb and Dill stayed with the "Majestic Burlesquers", but where noted to be starring in Fiddle Dee Dee in the next season whilst performing in Scranton, Pennsylvania. They would return to the Chicago theater in late May, but where not mentioned as part of Irwin's group. This performance was noted by the Chicago Daily Tribune as a "bad imitation of Weber & Fields".

Acts
Newspaper accounts of Kolb and Dill next resurface on November 28, 1901, noting that Kolb and Dill were heading the Fiddle Dee Dee act by Weber & Fields. Fiddle Dee Dee was a major production which was popular enough to run 204 consecutive performances throughout the Pan-American Exposition and was declared Weber & Fields greatest success in an advertisement for Gilmore's Auditorium. Their performance was praised as the "unsophisticated Germans" as a role that was familiar to audiences of their other performances. Kolb and Dill's act would move to Chicago by mid-March 1902. Despite it not being the original company, Kolb and Dill's imitation of Weber and Fields was hailed as a good production. The act would move to San Francisco and play at the Fischer's theater on April 7, 1902.

On June 30, the San Francisco Chronicle referred to Kolb and Dill as the main attraction of the first act called "Pousse Cafe" and mentioned that the theater was packed with a large attendance. The act was unchanged until at least after August 3, Fischer's ads continued to highlight the popularity of the triple bill throughout July.

By August 31, the performance had changed again with Kolb and Dill in the two act performance of "Zaza" and "Hurly Burly". The two performances were again associated with Weber and Fields. The performance lasted through at least September 11. The act again would change to "Whirl-I-Gig" by October 6, and this act was noted for having good wordplay and Kolb and Dill performing a wooden shoe dance. The "Whirl-I-Gig" was joined by the act "Way Up East", on Richard Carle's "Way Down East". The "Way Up East" act was practiced from mid-to-late October before its debut at Fischer's theater on November 3. Kolb and Dill's role was described as being entirely different from those of the past. The act was noted to be quite popular and played through until at least mid-November, but probably until the end of November.

On December 1, a new act named "The Geezer" debuted, a parody on the popular "The Geisha", with Kolb playing the role of the Chinese "Geezer" named Li Hung Chang. The popular act would play throughout December and change over in on January 5, 1903. The new act was a parody on Clyde Fitch's Barbara Frietchie and written by Edgar and Harry B. Smith. The act focused around an election in Fredericksburg and included a parody on "Dixie" by Kolb and Dill. The production would last through at least January 19 when the next production, "Hoity Toiti" was announced in a Fischer's ad. This production had Kolb and Dill, along with Bernard, playing the role of banking businessmen who teach the art of poker playing. A production with Mrs. Charles W. Rhodes, had Kolb and Dill "be-Dutch" the act which featured Wagner on March 25 and April 4. The next production was "Helter Skelter" which was popular throughout mid-April, when the production of "Fiddle Dee-Dee" would return by popular demand. The "Fiddle Dee-Dee" production would last through the week of June 6, before "Twirly Whirly" would debut.

The "Twirly Whirly" production would be replaced by a combination of two great plays "Under the Red Globe" and "The Three Musketeers". Premiering on July 13, 1903, Kolb and Dill would have a song called "I'm Going to Live Anyhow Until I Die" that featured six clog dancers. Kolb and Dill also would sing "Soldiers" which was noted to be a "coon song". The quartet of comedians with Kolb, Dill, Bernard, and Whelan was noted to be "very funny". The performance would again change on August 10, with "The Big Little Princess" and "Quo Vass Iss". The production was quite popular and was advertised as having 1900 people pack the theater to view the performance on August 12. Kolb performed as "Specky" in "The Big Little Princess" and a strong man  in "Quo Vass Iss" and Dill continued in the role of a Dutch comedian. The production lasted until September 7, when "The Con-Curers" and "The Glad Hand" debuted. A new performance would begin on October 5, "The Paraders", a musical comedy. A detailed account of the act in the San Francisco Chronicle highlighted that the production had a flimsy plot and was saved only by the personal experience of the actor themselves, Kolb, Dill and Bernard exhibited their usual horseplay and comedic act. Though its initial portrayal was negative, the Fischer Theater ad responded with an ad stating for people to read the criticisms and avoided the sharpest denouncements of the San Francisco Chronicle review. The Fischer's ad changed quickly, the criticism no longer called as such and quickly the quotes attributing this "criticism" were removed from the ads. The production did not last long and was replaced by "Rubes and Roses" on November 2. This act was also short-lived and was replaced by "I.O.U" on November 30. On December 12, it was noted that Kolb and Dill along with others from Fischer's would be departing before long, but "I.O.U" played through to at least the end of December with a special matinee on January 1, 1904. On January 7, it was announced that Kolb and Dill would finish their act at Fischer's at the end of the week and would prepare for to take their acts to Australia.

After the tour's announcement, Kolb and Dill were in another act by a local burlesque instead of a Weber and Field's imitation. Their roles in "The Beauty Shop" production, by J. P. Crawford, resulted in well-preserved details of the acts from the local newspapers. Kolb and Dill play the roles of C. Schwabber Pilsner and Jay Bierpump Culmbacher, president of the "Pretzel Trust". In a role reversal, Kolb was the fat man and Dill the thin man after being treated by the doctor Madame Voluptia in her establishment. The two emerge from sleeping in the "fat and anti-fat rooms of the parlor" when Dill focused on his feet and said that he had not seen them in years. Then Dill turned the tables on Kolb, kicking him and blurting out, "You did this to me for years; now I get back at you." The exact date of the production was most likely begun on Monday January 11, 1904 and was first advertised in the papers as a success by the Fischer theater on January 12. The production would change to "Roly Poly", described as an original production by Fischer's theater, on February 8, 1904. Kolb and Dill would see through the end of the production, with their final farewell performance on March 6 before the start of a new production. The next production, "The Rounders", featured the prominent Richard F. Carroll and John P. Kennedy as their replacements at Fischer's. One unique act performed by Kolb and Dill prior to their departure was a special "turn" and a comedic roast by the duo as part of performance with the California State Retail Association in the audience.

1904 Australian tour
On January 7, 1904, it was announced that Kolb and Dill would depart for a thirty-week tour of Australia with a company backed by Henry James. The group was known as the American Travesty Company. Kolb and Dill's contract included a salary and percentage basis, but exact details were not released in the San Francisco Chronicle. Kolb's wife, Charlotte Vidot, was also going to be a part of the trip. The tour was planned to leave the second week of May and include a two-week stop in Honolulu, Hawaii, before opening in Auckland, New Zealand, and moving on to Sydney, Australia. Later the trip was announced to include New Zealand. The acts on the tour were "Fiddle Dee-Dee", "Pousse Cafe", "Whirly Gig" (Whirl-I-Gig) and "Hoity Toity". After their final act on March 6, Kolb and Dill headed to New York only to return for more performances prior to their tour. Kolb and Dill returned on April 11 only to perform at the St. Mary's Alumni Concert in San Francisco's Alhambra Theater on April 12.

The production also held a two-week performance at the Grand Opera House, opening with "Hoity Toity" on April 17. The second week featured "Fiddle Dee-Dee" and "Whirl-I-Gig", before departing for Australia, though "Big Little Princess" was also added to the bill. Kolb and Dill's farewell act was on May 1 and they departed for Australia on May 5 on the Sierra at 2:10 p.m. heading to Honolulu.

Popularity
On June 24, 1903, Kolb and Dill attended a boxing match to watch Jim Corbett fight Yank Kenny and Sam Berger; the theatrical celebrities' presence was prominently noted in the first paragraph of the article. Kolb and Dill's fame in traveling around the Midwest before staying at the Fischer's for three years was noted by a column in The Inter Ocean noting that Weber and Fields may not compare to Kolb and Dill's fame, despite having imitated their method and jokes, when the originals come to San Francisco. As evidence of their success, the February 8 debut of Weber and Fields act did not reduce Kolb and Dill in the opinion of the San Francisco Chronicle. The Oakland Tribute went further and bluntly stated, "Weber and Fields are not as good in "Dutch" farce as are Kolb and Dill at Fischer's in San Francisco."

title: Pomona State School

text:
Pomona State School is a government primary school in Pomona, Shire of Noosa, Queensland, Australia. It was established on 31 August 1897.

History
Originally named Pinbarren Provisional School from its establishment until 1909, when it was upgraded from a provisional school to a state school, and renamed Pomona State School. The school cost £813 for a simple high-set timber building with one large room and a verandah.

School district
The local school district was a patchwork of small schools in what would become the Shire of Noosa. The 1910 establishment of the Noosa shire and Pomona being selected as a central hub saw Pomona State School become the main school of the district. Smaller schools closed with the expansion of Pomona State School and the eventual establishment of a school bus.

Mill School
Mill School was the first school to be opened in the district in 1874. Located by Lake Cootharaba two kilometres north of Elanda Point. Mill School was closed in 1892.

Pinbarren Creek State School
Pinbarren Creek State School was opened as a provisional school on 22 February 1905 and upgraded in 1908. The school closed in July 1939 just after the start of the Second World War.

Cooloothin Creek State School
Cooloothin Creek State School was established on 16 August 1915 located on the corner of Boreen Point Road and McKinnon Drive. The school eventually closed on 31 December 1936 from low attendance.

Cootharaba Lake State School
Cootharaba Lake State School opened on 23 August 1909. Located on the corner of Kildey's road and Lake Flat road it was closed during 1943.

Ringtail State School
Ringtail State School, was opened May 1912 and closed December 1943. The school was located on Ringtail road, west of the Pomona township. The building of Ringtail state school were pulled down in 1946, before being relocated to Pomona State School as a classroom. The building was transferred into the school library.

1940s expansion
At the conclusion of the Second World War, the focus was shifted from fighting to education. The general concern was the lack of available higher education options, most students want to go on from primary school had to enlist in a boarding school. At the end of 1944, the Department of Education established the first secondary department for a public school in Queensland. The addition of 432 secondary students to the school became overcrowded, the remaining building's from the various local schools that had closed over the previous 30 years were relocated to Pomona State School to help accommodate the extra students and staff.

The vocational study program which had been in place since 1925, had 146 enrolled students in 1950. 1947 saw some ease to the large number of students attending the school when St Patrick's Convent primary school was opened in Pomona. St Patrick's convent was eventually closed and burnt down in 2011 by Arson.

Ellis estate
Pomona State School was moved to a new site called Ellis Estate. The new site would provide more room for the school's eventual growth in the future. Ellis estate was located on what is today, 74 Station Street. The new school site was officially opened on 9 October 1976 by The Hon. C.A. Wharton, MLA the minister for Aboriginal and Islander's Advancement and Fisheries.

The new site featured most of the original buildings including some new ones. The D.A. Lowe memorial library was one of the new buildings, it was heavily renovated in 2012/13 as part of the Queensland governments better schools program.

One of the main buildings at the old site, which contained the principals office was kept on site for use as the pre-school. The pre-school was eventually moved to the new site joining the other grades, the building was then taken over by the Kindergarten. The Kindergarten, still occupying the building is the last remaining onsite. The original site is today used as a main feature in the Pomona community as the Stan Topper Park. A portion of the park was taken over by the State Emergency Service, which operate from a complex attached to the original courtyard of the Pomona State School.

Cooroora Secondary College
The secondary department of Pomona State School, having been established in 1944 was relocated to its own site. The newly named Cooroora Secondary College was established in 1996 at 120 Summit Road. The college was intended to make the grades 8-12 available to the local population. Grades 8-12 was already available at Noosa District State High School however was too far for some families.

The college was purpose built around a paved courtyard, with ample free land on its grounds. The school was transferred to Noosa District State High School at the beginning of the 2006 school year, as part of the state government's school amalgamation program. The college was renamed Noosa District State High School - Pomona Campus at the start of 2006. Grade 10 was transferred to Noosa District SHS's Cooroy campus in preparation for transferring grade 7 to Pomona campus. Grade 7 is expected to begin at Pomona campus at the beginning of the 2015 school year.

title: Hippy Ti Yo

text:
Hippy Ti Yo (also spelled Hippy To Yo, Hip Et Taiau, Les Huppes Taiauts, Hippy-Ty-Yo, Hippy-Tai-Yo, Hippitiyo, Tayeaux Dog Tayeaux) is a traditional melody that was first recorded as Ils La Volet Mon Trancas, sung by Cajun musician Cleoma Breaux in 1934 in San Antonio, Texas.  The melody would later be adapted into many different songs throughout history.

Music

Origins
The song is an old tune about a mysterious creature, women or a couple of dogs, Hip and Taiaud, who prowl about stealing things off the farm, engendering the ire of the farmer which makes them return the items. Origin of the phrase is suggested to belong to the Cajuns of the Cajun prairies.  In the film "American Patchwork", Alan Lomax makes a loose claim stating cowboys from Texas heard the phrase being used as they drove their cattle across the Cajun prairies to be sold in New Orleans.  He makes the assumption that this phrase is the origins of the call "Whoopie Ti Yi Yo".

Author Raymond E. Francois describes a different origin. The French word "Huppe", used colloquially, means clever while "taiaut" comes from the English shout tally-ho, and refers to a hound dog, thus "clever hounds".

The earliest recording of the song is believed to be a 1934 version sung by Cleoma Breaux and played by Joe Falcon entitled "Ils La Volet Mon Trancas", recorded in San Antonio, Texas (Bluebird B-2191).  Later that year, the Breaux Brothers would record the same melody as the tune "T'as vole mon chapeau" (Vocalion 02961). In 1962, Joe Falcon explains he picked up the song from black Creoles, one named Sidney Babineaux.

The following year in 1935, Leo Soileau and His Three Aces used the same melody for his song "Hackberry Hop" (Bluebird B-2086).  The song refers to the town of Hackberry, Louisiana which is located about 30 miles from U.S. Route 90. Several years later, the familiar melody would appear in a 1953 rockabilly called "Route 90" by Clarence Garlow on Flair Records (#1021).  The melody is eerily similar in chord progression as well as in the vocal pattern.

Ils La Volet Mon Trancas Listen (MP3)

Eventually, in 1962, Sidney Babineaux would record a similar-sounding melody entitled "Zydeco Sont Pas Sale".

title: Birgitta Holm (convert)

text:
Birgitta Holm (died after 1755), was a Swedish Roman Catholic convert. She converted from the Lutheran Church of Sweden to Roman Catholicism at a time when this was a serious crime against the state. Holm was the subject of religious prejudice and was probably the only Swede formally banished for having converted to Catholicism in Sweden during the 18th century.

Background and context
According to Swedish law, any Swedish citizen who left the Lutheran Church was punished with banishment, confiscation and forfeiture of the right of inheritance. Most Swedish converts to Catholicism were students living in other areas of Europe. Swedish converts in Sweden, however, were generally women who had married foreign Catholics living in Sweden. Unlike Holm, these women generally escaped punishment.

Holm originally came from Nyköping and then settled in Stockholm. In 1753 she married German Roman Catholic Franz von den Enden, who was a violinist at the Kungliga Hovkapellet. The ceremony took place under the Catholic ritual and was witnessed by von Enden's Catholic friend sculptor Jacques-Philippe Bouchardon and Holm's brother and sister, both Bouchardon's employees. In 1754 her daughter  was baptized a Catholic by the priest of the French legation.

Arrest

In 1755, in a consistory of court, which dealt with questions of court staff, it became known that Birgitta Holm had become a Catholic. In the Senate session held on 2 May 1755, she confessed that she had converted to Catholicism for her marriage. Holm specifically mentioned confession as a reason for her conversion. She denied that she regarded Lutheranism as heresy, saying that she did not understand the difference between Lutheran and Catholic teaching. Holm said she was not willing to return to the Lutheran Church unless she was convinced. The Senate then instructed the royal court chaplain, Gabriel Thimotheus Lütkemann, and one of the other preachers in consistory of court, to hold hearings with Holm, in the presence of her husband, to persuade her to return to Lutheranism.

The court consistory met August 13, 1755. They made a statement of the case, recommending to the monarch that von Enden and his spouse be exiled after Holm had refused to retract her conversion.

Aftermath

It is not certain that Holm was exiled, in the absence of confirming documents. Holm's husband Von den Enden remained in Sweden and remained active at the court orchestra until his death in Ulriksdal, in 1769. By then he was remarried.

Facts that support the hypothesis that she was exiled include the fact that the congregation documents of the French Catholic legation do not mention about her after 1755. Eleonora Sibrand, another Swedish convert through marriage to a French Catholic immigrant worker the same year,  remained in the documents of her Catholic congregation years after the consistory's failed attempt to force her to recant.

Holm and her daughter did not appear in the papers after the death of her husband, but he had large debts to hometown Hamburg merchants, and she may have settled there at his expense.

In 1736, Märta Forsström, a ladies maid of Ulla Tessin, had converted to Catholicism through her marriage to an Italian Rococo painter, Dominico Francia, and left Sweden for Portugal with her spouse one year after having been trialed in 1743. Forsström, who emigrated voluntarily, was not formally exiled, though she may have left because of the law.

The Antioquia-class ships were designed by the British shipbuilder Yarrow and were based on , a prototype destroyer built for the Royal Navy in 1926 by Yarrow. They were  long overall, with a beam of  and a draught of . The ships displaced  at standard load and  at full load.

The Antioquias were powered by two Parsons-Curtis geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by three Yarrow boilers. The turbines, rated at , were intended to give a maximum speed of . The destroyers carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of  at .

Armament was similar to contemporary Royal Navy destroyers, with a gun armament of four 4.7 in (120 mm) Vickers-Armstrong Mk G guns, and three 2-pounder () Mk VIII anti-aircraft guns. Two quadruple banks of 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes were carried, while two depth charge throwers and 12 depth charges constituted the ships' anti-submarine armament. Up to 20 mines could be carried. The ships' complement consisted of 147 officers and men.

Construction and career
Antioquia was built in Lisbon, Portugal, as a  for the Portuguese Navy (the Marinha Portuguesa), and originally named NRP Douro. The design of the six ships of the Douro class was by the British company Yarrow Shipbuilders, based on that of the Royal Navy's prototype destroyer . Two were built at Yarrow's shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland, and the remaining four in Lisbon with Yarrow machinery.

Douro was purchased before her completion by the Armada Nacional República de Colombia in 1933 in response to the Colombia–Peru War. She was renamed for Colombia's Antioquia Department, which had contributed the funds for her acquisition. A sister ship, NRP Tejo, was purchased at the same time and renamed ARC Caldas.

In 1936 Antioquia was involved in what could have been a serious international incident. On the occasion of the death of the British King, George V, the Bermuda Militia Artillery (BMA), a part-time reserve of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, had been instructed to fire a memorial salute from a 4.7 inch gun at St. David's Battery, in the British colony of Bermuda. This salute was to consist of seventy blank rounds, one for each year of the king's life, fired at one-minute intervals.

Because of the difficulty of storing ammunition in Bermuda's humid climate, there proved to be only twenty-three blank rounds in stock, and the remainder used were all headed ammunition. As the firing was to commence at 08:00 (on 21 January), and it was thought unlikely any vessels would be in the danger area, it was decided to proceed with the salute, ensuring the guns were elevated for maximum range (), out to sea. The firing began at 07:00, and was over seventy minutes later.

What the BMA gunners were unaware of, however, was that Antioquia was at the receiving end of their barrage. Antioquia was under the command of a retired Royal Naval officer (part of the British Naval Mission to Colombia), and was arriving at Bermuda to undergo repairs at the Royal Naval Dockyard. Although the ship's crewmembers were alarmed to find themselves under fire, the ship fortunately was not hit.

ARC Antioquia and ARC Caldas were both refitted in the United States, at Mobile, Alabama, in 1954, when three  guns were fitted, two forward and one aft. This had the effect of shifting their centres-of-gravity, resulting in poor handling in foul weather, which also over-stressed the hulls.

Antioquia was decommissioned in 1961, when the name passed to a , built in 1943 for the US Navy as . The current ARC Antioquia is an  missile-armed frigate.
