title: 2014 Bulgarian floods

text:
On June 19, 2014, torrential rains caused severe flash flooding across northeastern Bulgaria leaving dozens of villages without electricity and submerging large parts of several cities in the region. At least 16 people were reported killed – 13 (4 of which children) in the Asparuhovo district of Varna, one in Dobrich and two in the village of Tsani Ganchevo in Shumen Province.

Abundant rainfall, the result of a Mediterranean cyclone, also caused damage on the Romanian shore of the Black Sea, especially in Constanța County.

Meteorological history
In the days leading up to the event, large parts of the country had been battered by heavy rain and hailstorms. On June 18, the Varna office of the country's forecasting service (NIMH) sent an official memo to the local administration warning of intensive rain and hailstorms on the following day. According to the NIMH, the average 24-hour for Varna Province was between 60 and 85 L/m2, while in neighboring Dobrich Province it was from 90 to 155 L/m2. The average amount for the whole month of June is around 50-60 L/m2. A single weather station in the north of Varna recorded values of 35 L/m2 in a two-hour period between 6pm and 8pm on June 19. In the far northeastern parts of Bulgaria, rainfall rates reached 140–200 mm/h. On June 20 the NIMH warned that further rains up to 20 L/m2 could be expected throughout the weekend.

According to data presented by the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations of Constanța County, the most affected areas in the county were Brebeni, wherein the amount of water was 92 L/m2, Adamclisi – 80.2 L/m2, Deleni – 60 L/m2, Albești – 64 L/m2 and the municipality of Mangalia, with 31 L/m2.

Affected regions

Bulgaria
The worst-hit area was in Varna's low-lying district of Asparuhovo, where dozens of houses were swept away and streets were virtually unrecognizable due to piles of mangled cars and debris. At least 11 people were initially confirmed killed in Asparuhovo, with at least two others missing. Much of the area remained without electricity for more than 24 hours before official restored it in the afternoon of June 20. It was not immediately clear if most of the victims drowned inside houses or were swept away in their vehicles. On June 23 emergency services located the body of a 3-year-old girl in the ruins of a house in Asparuhovo, raising the death toll in Varna to 12. A six-year-old boy remained missing and was presumed dead. His body was discovered on June 26, bringing the final death toll from Asparuhovo up to 13.

A further three casualties were reported from the city of Dobrich, were water levels rose to almost 2 meters in some parts of the town. The mayor of the city Detelina Nikolova later announced that only one person had been confirmed dead, after 2 people initially thought missing were found to have escaped unharmed.

On June 20 the government declared a state of emergency in the provinces of Varna, Shumen, Dobrich, Veliko Tarnovo and Pazardzhik. The Pass of the Republic was closed after a 200-meter section of the road was swept away by rushing floodwaters. The Batova river burst its banks near the Black Sea resort of Albena, prompting the evacuation of six hotels. Roads leading out of Albena towards Varna and Balchik were damaged and temporarily closed.

Romania
In Constanța County, a popular summer destination for Romanians and foreigners, the authorities established red code of flooding. Wind gusts of 94 km/h caused significant damage in the summer resorts. Tens of kilometers of roads were flooded, disrupting traffic in the localities of Adamclisi, Abrud, Urluia and Zorile. Likewise, dozens of houses and 70 hectares of pasture were affected by floods.

In Constanța, the sewage system couldn't cope with the large amount of rain, boulevards and streets being covered by water. In Mamaia, the rain destroyed a cafe on the seafront.

Response and aftermath
Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski travelled to Varna, where he called the disaster a "great tragedy". The government declared Monday, June 23, a day of national mourning. In a message to the Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev, the President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso promised to mobilize all available instruments to help the country. According to EU legislation, for emergency funds to be activated a disaster needs to inflict damage of three billion Euros (by 2002 inflation rates) or more than 0.6% of the country's GDP. In the case of Bulgaria this means confirmed damages of at least 232,5 million Euros. On June 24, officials announced that preliminary damage estimates in Veliko Tarnovo Province alone were over 10 million leva (5,1 million Euros). Damage to the country's road infrastructure was estimated at around 15 million leva (7,7 million Euros), including about 1.5 million leva to reopen the Pass of the Republic. On June 27, Varna Province officials announced that damage to local infrastructure there was estimated to be at least 30 million leva (15.25 million Euros).

Starting from June 24, officials in Varna began evacuating around 250 Asparuhovo residents from 85 buildings deemed too dangerous to live in, including at least 11 that would be demolished immediately. Due to the extreme amount of precipitation, measures were taken to stabilize parts of the hillside in the area for fears it might collapse in a landslide. Water service was fully restored to Asparuhovo on June 25, although officials announced they will continue to monitor the chemical composition of water within the city of Varna for at least a few weeks. By June 27, the number of evacuation orders in Asparuhovo had risen to 132, covering more than 1,000 residents of the neighborhood.

On June 20 the organizers of Sofia Pride announced they would postpone the 7th edition of the event, scheduled for the day after, in solidarity with the victims of the floods. They also appealed to citizens to actively contribute to the ongoing relief effort. Dozens of fans of Levski (Sofia) and CSKA (Sofia) both urged supporters to donate via the text-messaging campaign and promised to organize help on the ground as well. On June 23 a spokesman for the Bulgarian Army announced that a total of 860 people had been rescued or evacuated by various units across the country.

Relatives of people killed in the floods were to receive an immediate one-time government package of 10,000 leva (~5,113 Euros). Within hours of the event, a donation campaign was set up through which citizens could contribute funds by sending text messages to a special numbers. By mid-afternoon on June 20 over 190,000 such texts had been sent, raising a few hundred thousand leva for victims of the floods. By June 24, a total of 832,948 Leva (~425,600 Euros) had been gathered as part of the relief efforts, with about 80% of those coming from text messages and the rest being donated via bank accounts. Authorities estimated the total numbers of families that would require long-term help at around 800, spread across Varna, Dobrich and Veliko Tarnovo provinces.

Several dozen Syrian refugees traveled from camps in the capital Sofia and Harmanli to Varna, answering a call by the local municipality for volunteers to help with the clean-up effort.

title: Juan Flores de Sierra

text:
Juan Flores de Sierra y Valdés (died in 1641) was a Spanish soldier who served as Governor of New Mexico in 1641. He was replaced at his death by Francisco Gomes.

Biography
Juan Flores de Sierra joined the Spanish Army in his youth, later on becoming General of the Army.

In 1641, Viceroy Diego López Pacheco made De Sierra the Acting Governor of Santa Fe de Nuevo México.  After arriving in Santa Fe, Valdez acted as "Residence's Judge" to previous governor, Luis de Rosas. As such, Valdes investigated the administration of De Rosas, as well as the veracity of the charges that the Franciscans had issued against him (they had several confrontations with De Rosas). The investigation was made under the orders of Viceroy. After the investigation, Valdes imprisoned De Rosas, whose administration he considered harmful to the population.

Initially, Valdez wanted to keep some of the people who had worked with Luis de Rosas in the government of New Mexico in their charges, on the town council of the capital of the province. These people were linked to De Rosas through bonds of friendship, but De Sierra changed his mind when he learned that many of the companions of De Rosas in his council were mestizos. He admitted only Spaniards and criollos in the council, so he replaced them by encomenderos. This new group was close to the Franciscans.  The town council was a very important institution in the Spanish America because it represented the population of the governed territory.  It sent the population's pleas to the governor, as well as the petitions of the inhabitants of the territory both to the King of Spain and his representative in New Spain. Occasionally, if the Viceroy thought the governor had disobeyed royal orders, the town council could replace the governor in some of its functions. Moreover, the town council could temporarily govern a territory when a governor died without a lieutenant governor to replace him.

The fatigue caused by the long journey (he had traveled "over fifteen hundred miles from Mexico City to Santa Fe") made Valdes sick. He appointed Sergeant Francisco Gomes lieutenant governor in order to continue the investigation of Luis de Rosas. Valdés died in autumn 1641 as the shortest-serving governor of New Mexico (from spring 1641 to autumn 1641).

Personal life
Juan Flores de Sierra had at least one son: Juan Flores de Sierra y Valdes II, who became Melchor's lieutenant in the Californian town of San Diego.

title: So This is Love (Cinderella song)

text:
"So This Is Love" is a 1948 song composed by Al Hoffman, Mack David, and Jerry Livingston. It was written for Walt Disney's Cinderella, in which it was performed by Ilene Woods and Mike Douglas. It is sung by the characters of Cinderella and Prince Charming as they dance with each other at the ball. Composed in  time (also known as waltz time), a secondary title, "The Cinderella Waltz", appears in parentheses next to or beneath the song's main name on many editions of sheet music. Prior to the Hoffman, David, and Livingston trio joining the film, songs for Cinderella were written by Larry Morey and Charles Walcott, with a song entitled "Dancing on a Cloud" intended for the ball scene. However, their songs would be scrapped. The song does not appear in Disney's 2015 live-action adaptation of the film, replaced instead with 19th-century inspired waltzes and polkas written by cinematic composer Patrick Doyle.

Ilene Woods also commercially recorded the song with RCA Victor in 1949 to help promote the film's release the next year. It has since been performed by artists such as Vaughn Monroe, Vera Lynn, James Ingram, The Cheetah Girls, and Dave Brubeck, amongst others.

title: Nova Star Cruises

text:
Nova Star Cruises Limited, referred to simply as Nova Star Cruises, was a ferry company operating in Nova Scotia and Maine. Their ship, MV Nova Star, was a Ropax cruiseferry operating seasonally on the Gulf of Maine between Portland, Maine and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

The company, operated as a joint venture by Quest Navigation of Eliot, Maine and Singapore conglomerate ST Marine, was awarded the contract to operate the route in November 2013, when the Nova Scotia government agreed to issue $21 million in forgivable loans to the company over seven years.  The company began service on May 15, 2014. During the first summer, the company expected to carry 100,000 passengers, but had only carried 59,000 by the time it stopped operating for the season in October. As a result, the Nova Scotia government spent the entire $21 million allocated to subsidizing the service for seven years in the first season, and issued an additional $4.4 million to Nova Star in October, subject to increased financial oversight.

Nova Star was initially laid up for winter 2015 in Nova Scotia, but moved south to Charleston, South Carolina in January after Nova Scotia provided $2 million to cover off-season expenses.  In February, Nova Scotia officials said that the province had developed a plan to spend $13 million to subsidize Nova Star during the 2015 season, with the ferry operating between June 1 and October 14.

During 2015, the company set a target of 80,000 passengers carried, though by August it was on track to miss the goal, having carried 37,800 by the end of the month, and the Nova Scotia government was working to determine whether it would contract with Nova Star again in 2016. Four companies submitted bids to Nova Scotia, with the province expected to select the 2016 operator of the route within weeks.

By 2016 the MV Nova Star had moved to Europe and a new high-speed ferry line was in operation between Portland and Yarmouth.

The International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) is grouped list of terms and definitions organized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It serves to promote the global unification of terminology in the field of electrotechnology, electronics and telecommunications. It is developed by the IEC Technical Committee 1 (Terminology), and published as both the IEC 60050 series of standards and online as the Electropedia. The Electropedia database contains English and French definitions for more than 22 000 concepts, and provides terms in up to 18 other languages.

Structure
The IEV entries are categorised in 9 classes, which group the vocabulary into several subject areas. The names of the classes are as follows:
 Class 1: General concepts
 Class 2: Materials
 Class 3: Measurement, automatic control
 Class 4: Electric equipment
 Class 5: Electronic equipment
 Class 6: Generation, transmission and distribution of energy
 Class 7: Information and communication technologies
 Class 8: Particular applications
 Class 9: Standardization and related activities
The classes are further divided into individual subjects of special knowledge, called IEV parts and marked with a three digit number (PPP). The parts are subdivided by sections, which have a two digit number (SS). In each section, topically sorted IEV entries are listed, having in general also a two digit number (EE). As a result, the IEV identifier for each terminological concept follows the pattern PPP-SS-EE.

History

Early history of the IEV
At the very first meeting of the Council of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in October 1908, Mr. A. J. Balfour (later Lord Balfour) referred to the great value of the work the IEC was going to undertake on the unification of electrotechnical terminology. The first Advisory Committee – these ACs have been the predecessors of today's Technical Committees – was founded in 1910 under the leadership of a Belgian chair and had the task to harmonise electrotechnical nomenclature. By 1914, the IEC had issued a first list of terms and definitions covering electrical machinery and apparatus, a list of international letter symbols for quantities and signs for names of units, a list of definitions in connection with hydraulic turbines, and a number of definitions and recommendations relating to rotating machines and transformers. Four technical committees had been formed to deal with Nomenclature, Symbols, Rating of Electrical Machinery, and Prime Movers.

First edition of the IEV
In 1927 agreement was reached on the system of classification into groups and sections, the system of numbering the terms and definitions, the approximate extent of the IEV and other important items. The first edition of the IEV was published in 1938 with 2000 terms and definitions in English and French, and terms in German, Italian, Spanish and Esperanto. It was the outcome of patient work over 28 years.

The IEV grows and goes online: Electropedia
Since 1938, although the aim of the IEV remains unchanged – to provide precise, brief and correct definitions of internationally accepted concepts in the field of electrotechnology, electronics and telecommunications – the scope of the IEV has expanded in line with the expansion of the electrotechnical industry.

The number of IEC technical committees is now more than 90, with almost as many subcommittees, and there are more than 22 000 entries in the IEV, covering more than 80 subject areas. The terms and definitions are provided in English and French, and equivalent terms are provided in Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Dutch (Belgian), Finnish, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk), Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish (coverage varies by subject area). Traditionally the IEV was developed and published as a series of International Standards, initially under the reference number IEC 50 and later renumbered as IEC 60050, with each part of the standard covering a given subject, such as circuit theory, live working and electrobiology. The online version of the IEV, known as Electropedia, was launched on 2 April 2007.

Electropedia becomes a database standard
As a collection of items managed in a database, the IEV is an ideal international standard to be managed under IEC's database procedure. Through the use of a web-accessible database and electronic communication a validation team comprising experts appointed by and acting as delegates on behalf of their National Committees evaluate and validate requests to change the database. The change can comprise an addition or deletion, a revision (editorial or technical revision) or a simple correction, and can apply to one or many items in the database. The database procedure encompasses the comment gathering and validation stages of the traditional standards development process and allows for both a rapid procedure as well as the traditional procedure.

Future evolution
The IEC Technical Committee 1, Terminology, is currently considering whether there is interest in the IEC community to evolve the vocabulary towards an electrotechnology ontology covering electrical, electronic and related technologies.

Maxim Gorky liked the story and recommended it to Nikolai Teleshov to be included into the literary anthology The People's Reading. Bunin included it into the collection called To the Edge of the World, in a massively revised version.
 At the Khutor (Na khutore, На хуторе). Russkoye Bogatstvo, 1895, No.5, May. The story featured in two 1902 collections, To The Edge of the World and The Stories, originally as "The Fantasy Man" (Fantazyor, Фантазёр). In 1995 Gorky wrote to Anton Chekhov: "Started to read Bunin's stories. Occasionally he makes it good, but don't you feel he copies you? Фантазёр, as I see it, is written under your direct influence."

1893
 News from Motherland (Vesti s Rodiny, Вести с родины). Russkoye Bogatstvo, Saint Petersburg, 1895, No.6, June, under the title "The Unexpected Thing" (Neozhidannost, Неожиданность). According to Vera Muromtseva-Bunina, the story's hero was a peasant friend of Bunin in his youth, who later fell victim to the all-Russian famine. ("The Life of Bunin", p. 84) The reviewer of Obrazovanye (Education) magazine (1902, No.12, December) called it "the finest of Bunin's pieces."
 In the Foreign Place (Na tchuzhoi storone, На чужой стороне). Mir Bozhiy, 1895, No.4, April, as "Holy Night" (Svyataya notch, Святая ночь).

Zverev, a statistician who invited Bunin to the settlement used by the local villagers as a base during their trips to the Ussuri krai. "Critics praised the story so high that... the Saint Petersburg Society of Care for the Re-settlers invited me to read a lecture. I read To the Edge of the World, of course," he wrote. The story was also included into the Primal Love collection.
The  Teacher (Utchitel, Учитель). Novoye Slovo, 1896, No.7, April, as "Tarantella", subtitled: "From the life of the rural intelligentsia". "The story is true to life and sad is its final... Bunin surely knows the Russian village well, sympathises with its people but, most importantly, is able to convey their moods without pomposity or sentimentality," Russkaya Mysl (1897, No.5, May) reviewer commented.

1895
 In the Field (V Pole, В поле). Novoye Slovo, 1896, No.3, December, originally as "Baibaki". Included into the Primal Love collection. Features an autobiographical scene: Yakov Petrovich plays guitar and sings the romance "Why are you silent and sit so quietly?.." - the way Bunin would later describe his father doing.
 Holy Mountains (Svyatyie Gory, Святые горы). The date of the first publication of the story is unknown. As "On Donets" (Na Dontse, На донце), it featured in To the Edge of the World collection. In a revised version it was published as "Holy Mountains" by Poslednye Novosti (Latest News) newspaper (1930, No.3279, March 15) in Paris.
 At the Dacha (Na Datche, На даче). To the Edge of the World collection, 1897. Originally titled "A Day at the Dacha". Inspired by the sudden appearance in Poltava of a large group of Tolstoyans in 1891, according to brother Yuli Bunin. Ivan Bunin in 1893 himself fell under strong influence of Lev Tolstoy's ideas and later described himself as 'a Tolstoyan'. The story has never appeared in a magazine. It was rejected by Alexander Skabichevsky of Novoye Slovo who (in a letter dated August 27, 1896) suggested the story was 'too feullieton-like': ",here are just several freaks, and a Tolstovian, well above them," he wrote. Bunin thought Skabichevsky's opinion was "very spiteful and totally unjust." Later, in October of the same year, the story was refused by Viktor Goltsev of Russkaya Mysl.
 Velga (Велга). Syn Otechestva, Nos. 4 and 5, January 5 and 6, 1899, subtitled "The Northern Legend" (Severnaya Legenda). In a letter to Sergey Krivenko Bunin described his version of "a Scandinavian legend, inspired by intensive readings about the North, the Arctic seas, etc."

1897
 Rootless (Bez Rodu-plemeni, Без роду-племени). Mir Bozhiy, 1899, April No.4. Subtitled : "From the story of a modern man", with the epigraph "Vae divitibus!"

 The Range (Pereval, Перевал). Russkaya Mysl, Moscow, 1901. No.8, August. Alongside "The Bonfire" and "In August" (under the common title "Three stories"). Written in 1892–1998.

1899
 Late at Night (Pozdney Nochyu, Поздней ночью). Northern Flowers (Severnye tsvety) almanac, Moscow, 1901. Viktor Mirolyubov suspected autobiographical motives, and even warned the author against revealing details of his own family life to the public. Later Bunin maintained the story had nothing to do with himself.

1900-1909
1900
 Antonov Apples (Antonovskiye Yabloki, Антоновские яблоки). Zhizn (Life), 1900, No.10, October, Saint Petersburg. Included into the Primal Love collection. According to Bunin's August 1891 letter to his then partner Varvara Pashchenko, the story was inspired by his visit to brother Yevgeny's estate. Gorky praised the story's stylistic brilliance but was critical as to its ideological and aesthetical substance. "Antonov Apples: smell good, but not of democracy," he remarked in his letter to Konstantin Pyatnitsky in November 1901.
 Epitaph (Epitafiya, Эпитафия). Zhurnal Dlya Vsekh (Journal for Everyone), Saint Petersburg, 1901, No. 8, August, under the title "Ore" (Ruda, Руда) and dedicated to Sergey Elpatyevsky. Included into The Primal Love collection. Initially Bunin intended to publish it (as "Holy Mother's Cloak", Pokrov Bogoroditsy) in Zhizn magazine, but in June 1901 this magazine was shut by the authorities.
 Over the city (Nad Gorodom, Над городом). Zhurnal Dlya Vsekh, 1902, No.11, November. The Primal Love.
 Meliton (Мелитон). Zhurnal Dlya Vsekh, 1901, No.7, July, as "Skit". Included into the book The Primal Love (as "Meliton"). Praised by editor Viktor Mirolyubov, "Skit"/"Meliton" marked the beginning of Bunin's long collaboration with this Saint Petersburg magazine. Censors cut the last three lines of the story, much to the author's outrage.

1901
 Pines (Sosny, Сосны). Mir Bozhy, 1901, No.11, November. Primal Love. "...Pines - is something that is very new, fresh and good, but a bit too compact, like a thick bullion," Anton Chekhov wrote to Bunin. Critic I.Johnson who found "the lack of familial social sensibilities" in the story deplorable, was among the detractors.
 New Road (Novaya doroga, Новая дорога). Zhizn, 1901, No.4, April. Pyotr Yakubovich, writing in Russkoye Bogatstvo found this short story an example of Bunin's tendency to distance himself from real life, excelling in making fine pictures of it. "A finely crafted picture of a night in a train, casual talks and thoughts accompanied by wagon wheels," wrote critic Alexander Izmaylov in 1913.
 Fog (Tuman, Туман). Zhizn, 1901, No.4, April.
 Silence (Tishina, Тишина). Mir Bozhy, 1901, No.7, July. Originally titled "On the Geneva Lake" (Na Zhenevskom ozere, На Женевском озере). Inspired by Bunin's visit to Switzerland. Some descriptions and observations have been apparently reproduced by Bunin from his November 1900 letter to his  brother Yuly.
 Bonfire (Kostyor, Костёр). Russkaya Mysl, Moscow, 1901, No.8, August. Alongside two other stories ("The Range" and "In August") under the common title "Three Stories".
 In August (V avguste, В августе). Russkaya Mysl, 1901, No.8, August. Alongside two other stories under the common title "Three Stories". Some details here, like the visit of Leo Tolstoy's followers, or the walks along the streets of a provincial town, reminding Poltava, are autobiographical.
 In the Autumn (Osenju, Осенью). Mir Bozhy, 1902, No.1, January, subtitled "The Sketch" (Eskiz, Эскиз). Сhekhov was not impressed. "Bunin's In the Autumn: done with a tense, unrelaxed hand," he wrote in a letter to Olga Knipper on January 31, 1902.
 New Year (Novy god, Новый год). Russkaya Mysl, 1902, No.1, January.
 Dawn All Night (Zarya vsyu notch, Заря всю ночь). Russkaya Mysl, 1902, No.7, July, under the title "A Rendes-Vous" (Svidanje, Свиданье) and dedicated to Maria Chekhova. Featured in the compilation Little Ship (Korablik, Кораблик, 1907), as "Happiness" (Shchastje, Счастье).

1902
 "Hope" ("Nadezhda", "Надежда"). The Stories (Rasskazy, Рассказы, 1902) compilation. According to Vera Muromtseva-Bunina, in 1902 Bunin wrote just one piece of prose, and that was "Hope". Nikolai Teleshov, to whom the author sent the story, was unimpressed. "No, Iv[an] Al[exeyevich]! The story might be lean, but it is hardly muscular... Feels like reading somebody else's letters... Put simply, I dislike it, that is all," he wrote on 15 March 1902. Bunin disagreed. "As for 'Hope', you are just wrong: it is a beautiful, subtle thing. And there is no need for you to cringe; it's not obnoxious that I'm trying here to be, just frank," he replied on 21 March.

1903
 Dreams (Sny, Сны). Znanye compilation, Book 1, Saint Petersburg, 1904, with another story "The Golden Bottom" (Zolotoye dno, Золотое дно), under the common title "Blacksoil" (Tchernozyom, Чернозём). All in all, Bunin's prose featured in sixteen Znanye compilations. Both stories received a good press. "Bunin is a laconic painter, working in sketches. Artfulness is not for him, he's too an artist for that. And if his characters look like social types, that is because the extraordinary realism of their author makes them undeniably typical," wrote critic Alexander Amfiteatrov.
Golden Bottom (Zolotoye dno, Золотое дно). Znanye collection, Book 1, Saint Petersburg, 1904, along with "Dreams", as part of two-piece "Blacksoil". This story later gave the title to Bunin's collection which came out in 1913 and, in a revised version, in 1914. While preparing it for the later, Bunin divided the text into five chapters and parted with the fragments describing old time landlords' cruelty towards serf peasants.
 Distant Things (Dalyokoye, Далёкое). Pravda (Truth) magazine, 1904, No.3, March, under the title "In Corns" (V khlebakh, В хлебах). In The Complete Works by I.A.Bunin it featured as "The Dream of Oblomov the Grandson". In Paris (Poslednye Novosty newspaper, 1937, No.5993, August 22) Bunin published a renewed version of the story, entitled "Eight Years" (Vosem let, Восемь лет) with a footnote: "The Life of Arsenyev. The first draft version".

1906
 Figures (Tsifry, Цифры). Novoye Slovo (The New Word) compilation, Vol.1, Moscow, 1907. Mikhail Chekhov considered it "one of the best stories of the last years" (15 June 1907 letter to Bunin).
 In the Beginning (U istoka dney, У истока дней). Shipovnik (Wild Rose) almanac, Saint Petersburg, 1907. The story's new version was published in Poslednye Novosty, Paris (December 29, 1929, No. 3203), entitled "The Mirror" (Zerkalo, Зеркало) with a subtitle: "From the early drafts of The Life of Arsenyev". The 1964 Complete Works by A.I.Bunin features "The Mirror" as an addendum to the novel.
 White Horse (Belaya loshad, Белая лошадь). Shipovnik almanac, 1908, as "Asthma" (Астма). In emigration Bunin re-worked the story: its first part appeared in Vozrozhdenye (Revival) newspaper (Paris, 1927, No.639, March 3), subtitled "The Story". The second was published in Poslednye Novosty (Paris, 1929, No.3122, October 9), again as "White Horse", but subtitled "Extracts from the novel". The story had been conceived long before its publication. "Where is your 'White Death', Ivan Alekseyevich? It just has to feature in Znanye [compilation]," wrote Gorky to Bunin in a letter dated November 25, 1900. In 1905 Pravda magazine announced the publication of 'White Death', but it never came out.

The conservative press criticised "The Night Time Talk" for what they saw as excessive naturalism. "The new story by Bunin... shows that under the laureate's dress-coat there's nothing left except for bad taste and short thoughts. Again, as in The Village, pig sty is everywhere," Viktor Burenin wrote in Novoye Vremya.

Maxim Gorky informed Ekaterina Peshkova in a letter:At eight [in the evening] Bunin started reading his finely written story about mother and son. Mother is being starved to death, while her son, a loafer and a slacker, just drinks, then dances drunk on her grave and after that goes and lays himself upon rails and gets both his legs cut off by the train. All this, written with exceptional skills, still makes one depressed. Were listening: Kotsyubinsky, who's got an ailing heart, Tcheremnov, a tuberculosis sufferer, Zolotaryov, a man who cannot find his own self, and me, whose brain aches, not to speak of head and bones. Afterwards we were arguing a lot about the Russian people and its destiny...

Of the initial idea he wrote: "I asked myself: very much in the same vein as Gogol who'd come up with his travelling dead soul merchant Chichikov, what if I invent a young man who travels looking for romantic adventure?

Tarasenkov in a foreword to the Selected Bunin (ГИХЛ, 1956, p. 20) mentioned this novella among Bunin's best work written in emigration. Later Thomas Bradly, in his introduction to Bunin's The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories (1963, New York, Washington, Square Press, XIX, p. 264) argued that the writer's best novellas of the 1930s and 1940s were Dark Alleys and The Raven.

title: Frans Breydel

text:
Frans Breydel or Frans Breydel I (1679 in Antwerp – 1750 in Antwerp) was a Flemish painter, draftsman and decorative painter (of interiors). He is known for his merry companies, carnival scenes, landscapes and battle pieces.

Life
The details about Frans Breydel's life are sketchy. Frans Breydel was a younger brother of the painter Karel Breydel.  There is no information about his training. Breydel left for a trip, maybe to Italy, at an early age but stayed in Kassel when his work was favourably received by local patrons.  He was appointed painter to the local court.

When Breydel's brother Karel left for a trip to Italy and heard about Frans' success in Kassel, he abandoned his plans to go to Italy and travelled instead to Kassel to join his brother. Here the two brothers worked together for two years with considerable success. Karel Breydel then travelled to Amsterdam.

Frans later left Kassel for London where he linked up with the Dutch painter Herman van der Mijn. This must have been before 1724.  Little is known about the remainder of his life. According to the French 18th-century biographer Jean-Baptiste Descamps, Frans Breydel died in Antwerp in 1750 where he was buried in the St. Andrew's Church.

Work
He first specialised in portraits but changed to merry companies, a genre which was very popular in France at the time.

title: Cesar Chavez (perennial candidate)

text:
Cesar Chavez (born Scott Michael Fistler on December 20, 1979) is an American perennial candidate from Arizona known for his multiple campaigns for a seat on Arizona's 7th congressional district.

Chavez officially changed political parties from Republican to Democrat on April 28, 2014.

Politics

2012 campaign
In 2012, Chavez mounted a campaign as a Republican write-in candidate against Democrat Ed Pastor for the District 7 seat.  Incumbent Pastor was challenged by Democrat Rebecca Witt in the August 2012 primary for the 7th Congressional District, but Pastor "easily bested" Witt. Chavez ran as the only Republican candidate.

In that election, Pastor was elected to a 12th term in congress, "easily" winning the election. With Chavez mounting the write-in campaign, he was not listed as the official Republican in election result announcements.

2013 campaign
In 2013, Chavez ran for the Phoenix City Council District 4 seat. "Longtime" councilman Tom Simplot  announced that he would not seek reelection for the 2013 election, which resulted in more candidates running for one City Council seat than any other district in the United States that election. Candidates included Chavez, then running under Scott Fistler; Jeffrey Brown; Dan Carroll; Austin Head; Justin Johnson, son of former Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson; David Lujan; and Laura Pastor, daughter of Ed Pastor.

At the time, Chavez had lived in Phoenix eight years. On the official City Council candidate form, Chavez listed his favorite book as The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss and his favorite movie as Rocky.

Early results showed Kate Gallego and Laura Pastor leading the polls. Eventually, Pastor won Simplot's seat and Gallego won Councilman Michael Johnson's seat after he termed out after 12 years in office.

Chavez' bid for the City Council seat was unsuccessful, with Pastor, Gallego and then incumbents Jim Waring (District 2) and Sal DiCiccio (District 6) comprising the council.

2014 campaign
In 2014, Chavez again ran for a seat on Arizona's 7th congressional district. On June 17, 2014, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Rea ruled that Chavez was ineligible to run based on the signatures being invalid. Chavez represented himself in court and stated that he would appeal the ruling. He also appealed to voters to "funnel money" to him and to find him an attorney. The Arizona secretary of state's office stated that almost half (just under 700) of the signatures were invalid.

Chavez's 2014 campaign website was hosted on Blogspot.

2016 campaign
Chavez tried to run again in 2016, asking the Arizona Democratic Party to list him as a candidate on the ballot. They refused, stating that he was not a serious candidate. They also received a court order to keep Chavez from harassing them, stating that he threatened them. In response, Chavez stated, "This is a slap in the face for not only veterans in America, but for veteran families, immigrants, everybody because we should want to go to the polls and vote."

Name change
Chavez changed his name from Scott Fistler to Cesar Chavez in December 2013. He was criticized for changing his name and switching political parties to try to gain Hispanic votes in District 7, which is heavily Hispanic. Chavez rebutted those accusations, saying the change was to get a shorter and easier-to-pronounce name, and that he was inspired by a dog food brand. The official reason Chavez listed for changing his name on court paperwork was that he "had experienced many hardships because of his name". Chavez paid the regular court filing fee of $319 for the name change.

In the beginning, the player controls an army consisting of five legions and an access to an overworld map to move around. Sometimes they will stumble onto buried treasures, other times the loot will be out in the open and can find huts or villages where they can buy and sell items or units.

Upon engaging an enemy, the game switches to turn-based battle mode where the player's and enemy forces are displayed on a hex-tiled board with both armies at the opposite ends. Each unit has a specific number of health points which when completely deleted, the entire unit is destroyed. The turn of the units take place in fixed cycles and the player can choose whether to defend, move, attack or use the special abilities of their characters. New to warriors of the north is with proper skills or equipment, troops can expend runes that they are given to briefly increase offensive power, defensive strength, or grant a chance to attack again.
