title: Mangwende

text:
Mangwende is a dynasty from Southern Africa, Zimbabwe commonly known as Mangwende dynasty of Nhowe or Mangwende of Nhowe. It is the royal dynasty of the Nhowe people, who are a part of the Shona tribe now living in Murewa, Mashonaland East, Zimbabwe. The Mangwende dynasty was started by the patriarch of the Nhowe people, Sakubvunza in 1606 who established the Shona traditional state of Nhowe. The name Nhowe refers to the traditional state as well as the Nhowe people.

The Mangwende Chieftainship employs a system of collateral succession which alternates between two houses of the dynasty. The two houses of Chieftain lineage are Mhotani ( Bokoto ) and Hundungu ( Chitopi ) houses.

Totem

The totem of the Mangwende clan is "moyo mzukuru" which uses the bull as its symbolic animal. However, in practice, the tribe strictly holds only the heart of the animal as sacred, not the whole animal.

Chieftainships: 1606-2013

Mangwende dynasty, formerly in Matandandura and Matukutu, settles in Nhowe. The chieftainship changes hands between the two lineages on the death of the sitting Chief (unless the authorities deems otherwise).

Mhotani (Bokoto) and Hundungu (Chitopi) are the highest ranking names in modern-day history of Nhowe politics as they represent both Chieftainship (lineages) of Mungate1(Mushawatu) and Gatsi1. The names Bokoto and Chitopi houses are purely for administrative purposes. Two lineages lived in close proximity for over (3) three centuries at Mahopo Masekwa, Nyakambiri river near Marondera.

History

The Mangwende clan dominated the geographical area between Makoni and Mutoko in Mashonaland East, Zimbabwe, which then existed in the political format of traditional states. Mangwende had a fighting force that fought rival clans, and was often called to defend allies in battle. Within their territory, the Mangwende chieftainship had several sub-Chiefs of surrounding clans under their protectorate who would pledge allegiance to Chief Mangwende in return for military support if attacked by other rival Chiefs. As the paramount chief, Mangwende administered over the welfare, security and civil order of small chieftainship clans and presided in ceremonial duties.

The house of Hundungu who was chief from 1859 to 1878 was the first to assume the title of Chief Mangwende with proper Rozvi investiture. Prior to this period all Chiefs (Mambos) were called or known by their family names. It was about this time that there was a bit of animosity between the two chieftain lineages as it was alleged that the other lineage had attacked the other with a flock of bees from a charm (Gona).  Katerere, father to Chiroodza and Chibanda, ruled for one year, 1878-1879 and died and was replaced by Mungate son of Hundungu, who became chief from 1880 to 1924. He was chief at the time when the white settlers arrived in Zimbabwe, then Rhodesia. They were based at Mahopo Masekwa bordering Marondera. The totem is "Moyo Muzukuru", which belongs to entire Nhowe tribe. Most of the late Mangwende chiefs are buried at the Mangwende shrine in Mahopo Masekwa. Over a period of time the Bokoto house decided to bury their chiefs at an Area called Bokoto Hills in Mukarakate, before that they were all buried at Mahopo Masekwa. Only (3) three chiefs were not buried at the Mangwende Shrine, Mahopo Masekwa, being Katerere, Enoch and Chibanda 11 (two)

Defiance of White Settlers

White colonialists arrived around the period of  1890 disguised as hunters and missionaries and settled in the territory controlled by Chief Mungate Mangwende. At about 1896, Chief Mangwende fought white settlers who tried to impose on his territory in the famous battles that became known as the 1896 rebellion.

He led his forces to defend Makoni who had also been involved in resisting white settlement rule.
Chief Mungate Mangwende's oldest son, Muchemwa, through orders from his father the chief fought the colonialist white settlers in the 1896  with the (uprising) in conjunction with Mbuya Nehanda and Kaguwi. After Chief Mungate Mangwende made peace with the White settlers (authorities) in 1896 his son Muchemwa together with other members of Nhowe war council which included Sandati Mukarakate son of Jirivenge the son of Mhotani, continued to wedge a guerilla type of war as they were disgruntled with white settler rule. This war continued up to 1903 and ended in the fierce battle of Bokoto hills, which lasted several weeks. Muchemwa brokered a deal with the White Settlers (authorities) that he could only lay down his arms together with his lieutenants on condition he did not face any prosecution. The authorities agreed on one condition that he resided next to Murewa District Headquarters where he would be monitored. After the rebellion the white settlers took over the fertile land in Mahopo Masekwa and Chief Mungate was moved to a place called Rota, Chamachinda.

The village around the Murewa District Centre is known as the Mangwende Village, with most of its inhabitants being of Nhowe tribe Totem "Moyo Muzukuru". At the time of Muchemwa's death in 1909 (murdered), his father was still on the throne. At the time of his death, he left three sons, Mbumbira, Munhuwepayi, and Maiziveyi. His second son, Munhuwepayi, became a chief and ruled from 1937 to 1960. He was deposed from the chieftainship for continually disagreeing and criticizing white settlers administration decisions which was deemed to be gross insubordination. Another contributing factor for the removal of Munhuwepayi was his participation in politics in the late 1950s 60s which he did up until independence 1980, in NDP (National Democratic Party) and then ZAPU (Zimbabwe African Peoples Union) which merged with ZANU (Zimbabwe African National Union) in 1987 into one party called Zimbabwe African National Union ZANU PF. Once dethroned he was sent to detention at Gonakudzingwa Restriction Camp, (Gonakudzingwa meaning "where the banished ones sleep") in Southern Rhodesia, near the Mozambique border, which was a special detention camp for ZAPU political prisoners set up by Ian Smith's government. There were already other political prisoners of the Mukarakate house who were detained at Gonakudzingwa, such as Phineas, Anesu and others. On his release Munhuwepayi, was banished from staying or visiting Murewa and restricted to  radius of Salisbury, now Harare. Even when his relations died he was not allowed to attend the funerals among them his own children and young brother, Maiziveyi Mangwende who died in 1971. He later died in November 1988 and was buried at the Mangwende Shrine, at Mahopo Masekwa, near Marondera. His late brother Maiziveyi's four sons Innocent, Cyril, Alois and Godfrey as immediate and direct descendants of Muchemwa lineage, performed the traditional rites for the late Chief Munhuwepayi to be buried at the Mangwende Shrine.

Enock Mvurayawira, was appointed by the settler Ian Smith's government in 1960 to replace Munhuwepayi as Chief Mangwende, after Muzanenhamo Sandati Mukarakate, the eldest son of Sandati Mukarakate in consultation with the Bokoto house advised the settlers that culturally, Bokoto house could not accept the collateral succession while a substantive Chief Mangwende was still alive. "A living Mangwende can not be replaced". This was in line with proper traditional rites which require notification of the demise of a Chief through death, which could not be performed as Munhuwepayi was still alive.

After Enock Mvurayawira's death in 1968, Jonathan Tafirenyika Chibanda, son of Chataika Chibanda of the Bokoto House was appointed Chief Mangwende in 1969. He became a member of the Chiefs Council in 1973 and was elected President of the Zimbabwe Council of Chiefs in 1991, a position he held for 15 years until he decided to step down in 2005. He successfully engaged the Government on improving the status and role of Chiefs in Zimbabwe which led to a review and improvement of various sections of the Traditional Leaders Act and other statutes governing traditional leaders.  Chief Jonathan Tafirenyika Mangwende died in Pretoria, South Africa in December, 2013 and was declared a Liberation Hero for his role in  assisting the struggle and coordinating support for liberation fighters during the war of liberation which culminated in the independence of Zimbabwe in 1980. He was buried  at Mukarakate in with full military honors and proper traditional rites. He is remembered for his wise leadership as President of the Council of Chiefs in Zimbabwe and for strong and fair leadership of his people.

Moyo Muturikwa, and the Mangwende Chieftainship

In August 2011, the Mashonaland East Provincial Governor, Aenius Chigwedere held a meeting with the VaNhohwe Clan, led by George Farayi Siyawamwaya. VaNhohwe were seeking official resettlement at Maganga Estates where Siyawamwaya was in residence. They argued that the colonialists drove them off the land in 1945, thus official resettlement is in order.

In the meeting, Aenius Chigwedere brought to light the historical issue relating to the Mangwende Chieftainship. Mentioning that the Chieftainship belonged to Moyo Muturikwa, not Moyo Muvhima nor the incumbent Moyo Muzukuru. He clarified that Moyo Muzukuru only ascended to the throne after gaining favour from the colonialists. Prior to that, Moyo Muturikwa held the Chieftainship.

Aneas Chigwedere’s theories can not be authenticated as these are mere claims. The Nhowe Clan settled in the area before the colonialists and have held the Mangwende Chieftainship since 1606, long before colonialists came to this country. Chief Mangwende and the Nhowe Clan fought against colonial forces in the first Chimurenga alongside Mbuya Nehanda and Sekuru Kaguvi.

It is worth noting that the records, as provided, are not available to the public to authenticate. Without citable information, there can be no way to see what has been included and, or omitted. Much of the connected history between the houses is citable. But the information of the Chieftainship stands disputed.  There is no way to establish the credibility of the information provided. Much of that also remains as mere claims.

title: The Joyriders

text:
The Joyriders is a 1999 American crime drama film directed by Bradley Battersby and written by Jeff Spiegel and Bradley Battersby. The film stars Martin Landau as Gordon Trout, an elderly suicidal man who is kidnapped for his car and his money by Cam (Shawn Hatosy), Crystal (Heather McComb) and Jodi (Elisabeth Moss), a trio of runaway teenagers who live on the streets.

His captors ad lib a road trip using Gordon as their reluctant bankroll. Gordon is increasing shaken and upset about the experiences he's put through, especially the reckless pranks and hijinks of Cam and Crystal.

Through the intervention of a rural minister (Kris Kristofferson), Gordon begins to see his captors in a different light: a tight group of friends that help each other out of tough places, because in spite of circumstances, they've each developed some personal character. Deciding to follow the minister's suggestion that in spite of kidnapping him, they deserve a second chance, Gordon eventually offers his friendship and help to his former captors. Their experiences together slowly make them a close-knit family, like Gordon hasn't experienced in a long time; his marriage is on his last legs, after personal and business failures. His wife has offered him one last chance to show her that he still wants to make a go of their life together, by meeting her cruise ship when it docks.

Meanwhile, the police have been in contact with Gordon's son. As he becomes aware of what has happened to him, he becomes more concerned with his father's mental state, especially as reports from the road make it sound like Gordon has been brainwashed by his captors. However, the police take the same reports as evidence that Gordon Trout appears to be a danger to himself and others, instead of a victim.

The intricacies of these complex relationships are explored through an emotional story with twists and turns. As the film moves to its conclusion, Gordon, Jodi, Cam and Crystal each try to improve their lives as they see fit. What will their outcomes be?

The Joyriders was released in limited theatres in the United States and Canada on Apr 18, 1999. The film has received generally positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Moviefone. Its DVD release date has been published as April 12, 1999. Per Rotten Tomatoes, its release date (streaming) was October 7, 2003.

title: Australia (The Kinks song)

text:
"Australia" is a song by the British rock band the Kinks, appearing on their 1969 album, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire). It was written by the band's main songwriter, Ray Davies.

Lyrics and Music

In the song, the character Derek (who is featured in the story line of Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)) attempts to convince his father, Arthur, of the great opportunities available in Australia, where there's "no drug addiction" and you can "surf like they do in the U.S.A." Derek's advertisement is compared to John Smith, who campaigned for America in a similar manner, by author Thomas Kitts.

The song also features a jam sequence lasting for approximately half the song, which is atypical for the Kinks. This sequence also features a Wobble Board, an Australian instrument. In the Australian single edit, this section is removed by editing an earlier section of the song into another section during a drum beat, which is then followed by a fade-out.

Release

"Australia" was released in most countries only on Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire), where it was the closing track on side one.  In Australia, an abbreviated version of the song was released as a single, with another Arthur track, "She's Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina", on the B-side.  The single was commercially unsuccessful.

title: Ponte Palatino

text:
Ponte Palatino, also known as Ponte Inglese (Italian for English Bridge), is a bridge that links Lungotevere Aventino to Lungotevere Ripa in Rome (Italy), in the Rioni Ripa and Trastevere.

Description
The bridge was designed by architect Angelo Vescovali and built between 1886 and 1890 in place of the partially destroyed, 2,200-year-old Pons Aemilius (also called Ponte Rotto, "Broken Bridge"). One arch of the ancient three-arch bridge was destroyed by a flood in 1598, while another arch was demolished by Vescovali in 1887 to make room for the Ponte Palatino, thus leaving the Pons Aemilius just a single arch in mid-river, situated adjacent to the modern bridge.

Ponte Palatino takes its name from the Palatine Hill, at whose slopes the structure rises. The bridge links the Forum Boarium to Piazza Castellani, in front of the Tiber Island; the epithet English is due to the left-hand traffic flow that applies on it, just as in the United Kingdom.

It shows five masonry piers with a metal top surface and is  long.

title: Celebrity Fifteen to One

text:
Celebrity Fifteen to One is a celebrity version of the Channel 4 game show Fifteen to One. William G. Stewart presented the first two episodes, which were Christmas specials that aired on 27 December 1990 and 30 December 1992. Adam Hills has hosted subsequent episodes on 20 September 2013, 6, 13, 20 and 27 June 2014, a Christmas special on 23 December 2014 and 7, 14, 21 and 28 August 2015.

Richard Whiteley, Anna Raeburn, Sally Jones and Rory McGrath appeared on both 1990s episodes, with Alex Brooker, Jimmy Carr, Johnny Vegas, Rhod Gilbert and Gyles Brandreth also having made appearances on more than one Hills episode. Of these, Brandreth is the only person to have made appearances on episodes presented by both hosts.

Episodes

William G. Stewart era
The first episode was broadcast on 27 December 1990. The format is largely the same as that of Fifteen to One, though with the Barry Cryer rule: Those who get both questions wrong may still play round 2 with one life remaining, with Cryer being the only one to miss both questions. Cryer was also the first contestant to be eliminated.  The programme is extended to 45 minutes from 30, with an extra advert added between the first and second rounds.

A second celebrity special aired on 30 December 1992. In his book "A Matter of Facts: An Insider's Guide To Quizzing", contestant Marcus Berkmann, who had previously appeared on a civilian episode of the show two years prior, explained that he was asked to appear on the programme after Vincent Hanna pulled out and noted that "clearly some barrels had been scraped for this, and [he] was at the bottom of the very last barrel". The winner, Patrick Stoddart, won by taking a step back from the rest of the semi-circle, resulting in no one nominating him in round 2. This would be the last Celebrity Fifteen to One for over twenty years.

Adam Hills era
The show was revived on 20 September 2013 as part of a 1980s night. This version was hosted by Adam Hills and was 1 hour long rather than 45 minutes and did not reprise what UKGameshows.com termed as the Barry Cryer rule; "just one life away for each incorrect answer in round one". It did, however, slash the number of questions in round three down to 25, and eliminated the need for three correct answers to start question or nominate. Money was awarded for getting to the final: £1,000 for getting there; £5,000 for coming second; £10,000 for coming first + £1,000 for however many lives they have left + £1,000 for getting any of the questions right after both the other finalists have been eliminated + £100 for every life they entered the round with. Jo Brand won this episode, winning £21,100 for her charity.

After the first show aired, it was announced by Channel 4 that the show would be revived for four more celebrity specials featuring Hills and for twenty daytime episodes featuring Sandi Toksvig. Changes were made; money was not awarded for lives left at the end of the round two, and for the last celebrity standing, the last five questions are worth £2,000 each. The winners of these programmes were Josie Long, who raised £25,000, Stephen Mangan and Dave Gorman, who both raised £23,000, and Sian Williams, who raised £22,000. These episodes were transmitted on 6, 13, 20 and 27 June 2015 respectively.

A Christmas special was broadcast on 23 December 2014. Rufus Hound raised £11,000 after a particularly tight final round in which all three contestants were standing at the end of 25 questions, and Hound opted to take two questions from 71–82 down with only one life left.

Four more episodes of Celebrity Fifteen to One were broadcast on 7, 14, 21 and 28 August 2015. Winners of these episodes were Alex James, who raised £11,000, Kate Humble, who raised £26,000, Gary Delaney, who raised £11,000 and Tanni Grey-Thompson, who raised £13,000.

William G. Stewart hosted two celebrity specials across 35 series. The revival shows include ten celebrity specials across four series of the main daytime show. The fourth series began on 18 September 2015.

title: Lungotevere Ripa

text:
Lungotevere Ripa is the stretch of Lungotevere that links Ponte Palatino to the Port of Ripa Grande in Rome (Italy), in the Rione Trastevere.

The Lungotevere takes its name from the Latin word ripa, meaning "bank" (the toponym also applies to the neighboring Rione, that nevertheless lies on the other side of the Tiber and whose Lungotevere is called Lungotevere Aventino); it has been established as per deliberation dated July 20, 1887.

The stretch of Lungotevere between Via del Porto and Piazza di Porta Portese corresponds to the Port of Ripa Grande, formerly the greatest river port of Rome, that was destroyed during the building of the muraglioni (massive walls). It houses the Ospizio di San Michele a Ripa Grande.

The Sokanu Interests, Personality, and Preferences Inventory (SIPPI) is a psychological inventory used in career counseling and employee selection. Scales are based on O*Net content domains developed by the US Department of Labor, with the addition of basic interest scales based on the model developed by Day and Rounds. The inventory measures 186 user traits across 8 domains: personality, needs, skills preferences, abilities preferences, work context, organizational culture, Holland Codes, and basic interests. Completing the full set of available materials (510 items) takes an average of 35.4 minutes.

Domains and Scales

History

First published in October 2013, the SIPPI was developed by Rhys Lewis, Ph.D. and published by Sokanu Interactive. An early version of scales for Holland Codes and Basic interests used items published by the open source Interest Item Pool project. Computer adaptive versions of the personality and interest scales are currently under development. Validation studies are currently being conducted to establish concurrent validity with other popular assessments and job behaviors.

Reliability

Average internal consistency reliability of the multi-item scales on SIPPI is α = .88. Minimum internal consistency for any scale is α = .82.

title: Kemi Adekoya

text:
Oluwakemi "Kemi" Adekoya (born 16 January 1993 in Lagos) is a Nigerian-born track and field athlete who competes for Bahrain. She specialises in the 400 metres hurdles and has a personal best of 53.39 seconds – a Bahraini and Asian record. In January 2019, it was reported that Adekoya tested positive for an illegal steroid stanozolol in an out-of-competition test in November 2018 and was provisionally suspended. All of her results achieved after 24 August 2018 were also stripped.

Biography

Oluwakemi Adekoya established herself as a hurdler at national level in Nigeria in 2011, placing fifth at the Nigerian championships. In 2012, she improved her best to 57.16 seconds to place second at the Confederation of African Athletics meet in Warri. That year she was runner-up at the Nigerian Olympic trials, but did not have the sufficient qualifying standard. She was selected for the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics but did not compete. In 2013, Kemi set a new personal best of 55.30 seconds, finishing runner-up to Muizat Ajoke Odumosu, Nigeria's leading hurdler, and also set a flat 400 metres best of 52.57 seconds. Her hurdles best ranked her within the top thirty fastest athletes in the world that year.

Adekoya's first race of 2014 marked a significant change for her career. Making her debut on the Diamond League circuit, she defeated the entire elite 400 m hurdles field in a surprise win. Her time of 54.59 seconds was a world-leading one, and also a Bahraini national record – she had switched nationality to the oil-rich state at the start of the year and displayed a banner saying "I ♥ Bahrain" after her victory. This move was unknown to Solomon Ogba, the head of Athletics Federation of Nigeria, who was present at the race in Doha and lodged a complaint with the International Association of Athletics Federations, claiming her move as out-of-process. However, as Adekoya had never formally registered with the national federation, the country could not block the move. Nigerian officials and media noted the case as an example of African nations losing their top home-grown athletes to richer non-African nations (Nigerian sprinters Samuel Francis and Femi Ogunode both moved to Qatar).

In her second Diamond League race she was a close second to Kaliese Spencer at the Bislett Games, then took third place at the Golden Spike Ostrava meeting.

On Saturday, 13 August 2016 on Day 9 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil, Kemi ran an all time personal best of 50.72 to come out second behind America's Phyllis Francis who ran at 50.58 seconds there by qualifying for the semi-final 3.

In January 2019, it was reported that Adekoya tested positive for an illegal steroid stanozolol in an out-of-competition test in November 2018 and was provisionally suspended. All of her results achieved after 24 August 2018 were also stripped, including the two gold medals in the 400 hurdles and the 4 × 400 mixed relay at the 2018 Asian Games.

title: Science, Industry and Business Library

text:
The Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL) was a research library of the New York Public Library (NYPL) system in Midtown Manhattan. SIBL was created in 1996 when materials relating to science, business, and related fields were relocated from the Main Building (now the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building) to a new branch was located within the former B. Altman and Company Building. The SIBL branch entrance was on Madison Avenue between 34th and 35th Streets. The branch consisted of space on two levels: street level and one level below ground.

In 2016, the NYPL announced that the SIBL would close after the completion of an upcoming renovation of the Mid-Manhattan Library. The Mid-Manhattan Library, which reopened in 2020 as the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, contains a business center that replaces the SIBL's collection.

title: Armand Point

text:
Armand Point (23 March 1860 or 23 March 1861 – February 1932 or March 1932) was a French painter, engraver and designer who was associated with the Symbolist movement and was one of the founders of the Salon de la Rose + Croix. Later he formed his own atelier. Sources differ over the details of his birth and death.

Personal life
Point was born in Algiers, and died in either Naples, or Marlotte, Seine-et-Marne.

Early career
Point's earliest works were orientalist scenes of markets and musicians and the street life of his youth in Algeria. In 1888 he travelled to Paris where he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Auguste Herst and Fernand Cormon. He was linked to Numa Gillet. From 1890 he exhibited at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.

Move towards Idealism

Point was influenced by Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and was a member of the first Nabis group. In 1894 he made a trip to Italy with Hélène Linder (1867-1955) (later Mme Berthelot) where he saw Sandro Botticelli's Primavera for the first time outside of an engraving. The experience made a deep impression on him and he wrote that his eyes "first opened up" on seeing it, leading soon after to attempts to establish a movement in France to resurrect the art of the 15th and 16th centuries. The influence of Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci became evident in his work, for instance in the c. 1895 Eternal Chimera. Hélène Linder became an ideal female model for Point who often painted her in a Leonardesque style but dressed like a muse from Botticelli. Leonardo da Vinci's Study for the head of Leda (study for an original painting now lost) seems to have influenced the hair styles that he gave Hélène. Hélène married French diplomat Philippe Berthelot just before the start of the First World War. Philippe Jullian described Point as moving, at this time, from a "dreamy realism to a detailed idealism".

Symbolism

Soon, Point was moving towards fully fledged Symbolism. He made a determined effort to reject the modern world and the realism of Zola and Courbet. He adopted Rosicrucianism and became a friend of "Sâr" Peladan. Edward Lucie-Smith described him as a "medievalizing painter ... whose style mingled the influence of Moreau with that of the Pre-Raphaelites". From 1892 to 1896, Point exhibited at the Salon de la Rose+Croix and with Léonard Sarluis he designed the poster for the fifth salon of that group. It depicted the Ideal in the form of Perseus holding the severed head of Émile Zola in reference to the Greek myth in which Perseus decapitated the Gorgon Medusa. For the Symbolists, Zola exemplified in literature the oppressive Naturalism they rejected.

Subjects at this time were usually  mythological, such as his 1897 The Siren which included a typical Symbolist femme fatale figure luring men to their doom. Also in 1897, Point contributed an original lithograph titled the Golden Legend (Fr. Légende dorée) to the L'Estampe Moderne. The journal included four original prints in each issue and Point's was issued in Number 5, September 1897. Other artists who contributed included Alphonse Mucha, Henri Fantin-Latour and Edward Burne-Jones.

Atelier de Haute-Claire

From 1896 to 1901 Point lived in Marlotte, where he founded the Atelier de Haute-Claire not far from the home of the Barbizon school. Around the turn of the century, the distinction between the fine and decorative arts was beginning to break down and Point became increasingly interested in the latter. He sought to emulate William Morris in revolting against nineteenth-century materialism and produced applied art, including furniture, jewellery, fabrics, ceramics and wallpaper that harked back to the techniques and styles of the Middle Ages. Everything was hand-made to a very high standard of craftmanship in an effort to avoid the alienating effect of industrial mass production. As a result, however, the products of the atelier were luxury items that could only be purchased by an elite and the project therefore failed to meet one of its key objectives.

The Symbolist journal L'Ermitage criticised the works of the Haute-Claire group for amounting to religious icons fit only for reverence in a case in a museum and having little to do with the France of today. One such ornate object was the Coffret d'Ophélie (Ophelia Box), a box in the form of a medieval reliquary, that referred to the Ophelia of Shakespeare much celebrated by the Pre-Raphelites. The box included bronze, cabochon, champlevé enamelling, cloisonné, ivory, gold and other expensive materials and techniques. A number of similar boxes exist from the atelier, including an alternative Ophelia box (1903) and a Coffret aux serpents (1897–99), both in the Musée d'Orsay. The number of different materials and processes involved in making each box meant that production was complex and a number of different craftsmen were required to make each one, for instance, noted ceramicist Charles Virion. Philippe Jullian described the products of the atelier as more Neo-Byzantine than art nouveau.

A diverse group of people visited Haute-Claire, including Oscar Wilde just months before his death in 1900. Wilde was in exile in France following imprisonment in Britain.

title: Chaja & Mimi

text:
Chaja & Mimi is a 2009 documentary short film by producer/director Eric Esser from Berlin, Germany. The work consists primarily of an interview with two Israeli Jews, Chaja Florentin and Mimi Frons, about their ambivalent relationship to the city of their birth, Berlin. The first version of the film was completed and released in 2009 in Germany only; a second version of the film, fully revised for the international film market, was completed and released in 2013.

Plot

The Jewish protagonists in this documentary, so-called Yekkes, share memories of their childhood days in the Scheunenviertel and Berlin-Mitte, as they were growing up in the 1920s. They tell about their harrowing flight from Nazi Germany to Palestine in 1934. Chaja Florentin relates her experience of a subsequent return to postwar Germany to visit Berlin, which was very painful encounter for her. The emotional pinnacle of the film is reached with the joy and excitement that both women express when they are shown old historical photographs of the neighborhood streets where they grew up. To the final question in this filmed interview, of whether either woman would consider returning to Berlin for good, both answer with an emphatic no, stating on no uncertain terms that Israel is their home now. They express displeasure at many things in Israel, but they say that it is like a difficult child—one that cries all of the time, but one that you love unconditionally.

Background

The first version of Chaja & Mimi debuted on 6 February 2009 at the Directors Lounge film festival in Berlin, as an entry in the Memories category of the festival program. The film was reviewed by Sabrina Small for the Directors Lounge festival blog.
The fully revised international version of the film premiered on 22 June 2013 at the Walter Benjamin Short Film Competition in Portbou, Spain. The film festival was supported by the Goethe-Institut of Barcelona.

The interviews were conducted in the Café Mersand in Tel Aviv, Israel, the favorite café and regular haunt of the film's protagonists. This Café was founded in 1958 by a German emigrant to Israel, Walter Mersand; it was considered to be the main meeting place for Yekkes in Tel Aviv.
The Anne Frank Center in Berlin has incorporated the film into its educational/informational work since 2011, within the framework of its project, Nicht in die Schultüte gelegt (What they forgot to put in your schoolbag). The project's learning materials are designed for schoolchildren aged 10 and older. The project, like the film, Chaja & Mimi, encourages retrospection based upon the recollections of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust.

Reception

The film was rated "especially valuable" (Prädikat besonders wertvoll) by the German Film Quality Assessment Board (FBW) in the summer of 2013. The FBW's jury justified its rating with the observation that

Awards
 The movie was selected as Online Short of January 2020 by the Jewish Film Institute and was available for streaming on their website.
 In June 2014, Chaja & Mimi was nominated for the ICCL Human Rights Film Award in Dublin, Ireland.
 In May 2014, the film received an Award of Merit from the Best Short Awards in La Jolla, California, U.S.A.
 Chaja & Mimi was voted third place by the viewing public in the movie theater, Cinemayence, on the occasion of the Langen Nacht des politischen Kurzfilms (Long night of political short films), organized by the Landeszentrale für Politische Bildung Rheinland-Pfalz, in Mayence, Germany, on 23 October 2013.
 The German Film Quality Assessment Board (FBW) rated the movie with their highest Seal of Approval especially valuable; in addition the FBW named it Documentary Short Film of the Month for August 2013.
 On 22 June 2013, the festival jury of the Walter Benjamin Short Film Competition in Portbou, Spain awarded the film second place.

title: Blue Creek, Toledo

text:
Blue Creek is a village in the Toledo District of Belize.  It is a Mopan people and Kekchi village of about 270 people. The community lies along flat roads, spanning both sides of Blue Creek. Clusters of thatch huts border both sides of Blue Creek, a beautiful, clear stream emerging from the surrounding thick jungle. The colour of blue-green pool where Maya women beat their laundry on the smooth stones gave the village its name. The banks are lined with tall shady trees. The reflection of the thick jungle rainforest, which lines both sides, is clearly visible in the surface of the creek.

Blue Creek Village was first known as Rio Blanco. Families from San Antonio and Aguacate moved there after discovering the clear water for washing and fishing, and the nearby fertile soil for milpas. Soon after, they changed the name of their new village to Blue Creek to reflect the beauty of the river which runs through the hills. Blue Creek offers hiking in the rainforest, exploration of the popular Hokeb Ha Cave and a Canopy Walk.

The Blue Creek 200-acre rainforest preserve is a 15-minute hike along a trail leading to the IZE Research Centre and a deep pool of clear water suited for swimming (the parking lot and trail is on the right just before the village bridge). The jungle sports bromeliads, orchids, cohune palms, and heliconias, and many medicinal plants, is a birdwatcher's spot with hundreds of species of birds; roaring howler monkeys can be heard nearby.

Further upstream is the Hokeb Ha Cave, with its large entrance carved from the summit of a hill where the Creek gurgles up from underground. Many Late Classic Maya ceramics have been found inside the cave, as well as an altar, and archaeologists believe the cave was used specifically for ceremonial purposes. The limestone caves are full of pristine crystal-clear mineral pools and lagoons, with a water temperature of a constant 75 degrees. Cave swimming trips are a popular activity (for safety, one must be accompanied by a guide and local guides can be hired in the village or at the Research Station). With life jackets and headlights tourists can visit one or more waterfalls, and view on stalactites and stalagmites.

Demographics
At the time of the 2010 census, Blue Creek had a population of 365. Of these, 41.9% were Mopan Maya, 25.2% Ketchi Maya, 21.6% Mixed, 5.8% Caucasian, 2.7% Mennonite, 2.2% Mestizo, 0.3% Creole and 0.3% East Indian.

title: Columbus Park (Manhattan)

text:
Columbus Park formerly known as Mulberry Bend Park, Five Points Park and Paradise Park, is a public park in Chinatown, Manhattan, in New York City that was built in 1897.

American photojournalist Jacob Riis (best known for How The Other Half Lives) is generally credited with "transforming Mulberry Bend from a 'notorious slum' to a park" in order to improve tenement dwellers' quality of life in the neighborhood.

History

Prior slum

During the 19th century, Mulberry Bend (a curve of Mulberry Street) was the center of the Five Points neighborhood, the most dangerous ghetto area of immigrant New York.

Before the park's establishment, Mulberry Bend was an alley Riis considered the "foul core of New York’s slums." The Bend is the site of Riis's 1888 photograph, Bandits' Roost, 59 1/2 Mulberry Street.Michael Burgan, Exposing Hidden Worlds: How Jacob Riis' Photos Became Tools for Social Reform, Compass Point Books, 2018, pp. 8-9

Photographer and social activist Jacob A. Riis, "friend of the tenement house children," campaigned for the creation of the park.

1897 establishment
In 1897, due in part to Riis's advocacy, Mulberry Bend was demolished, tearing down "several blocks" of what the American Park and Outdoor Art Association called "the worst tenement-houses in the world."

William Dean, captain of Manhattan's Sixth Precinct, stated in 1897,The establishment of Mulberry Bend Park is one of the greatest blessings that could be bestowed on the people of this precinct, as it eradicated one of the worst blocks in the city, which was made the home of a horde of the most depraved and debased classes, male and female, of all nationalities. Since the eradication of this block, the whole neighborhood has taken a change, and decidedly for the better.The same year, Riis praised the park's positive effects on the impoverished children and the neighborhood crime rate:The troublesome boys had not moved away. They had found something better to do than smashing lamps and windows and getting themselves arrested. They had a place now to romp in. That was all they wanted...In healthy play, youthful energies find a safe outlet.

20th century
A postcard claims it was widened circa 1905.

In 1911, Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux completed a redesign of the park, which was then renamed Columbus Park.

21st century
As of 2013, the park often serves as a gathering place for the local Chinese community, where "the neighborhood meets up here to play mahjong, perform traditional Chinese music... [and] practice tai chi in the early mornings."

In 2019, a statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen by Lu Chun-Hsiung and Michael Kang was permanently installed in the northern plaza of the park. The plaza was also renamed for the founder of the first Republic of China, who lived in Manhattan's Chinatown for a time.

In October 2021, a large-scale crochet mural made of over 1,500 flowers was put up on the fences of Columbus Park by Chinatown Yarn Circle and Think!Chinatown. The project and its flowers are "in tribute to AAPI community builders, embodying collaboration, triumph over struggle and inspiring future generations."

title: The Harold Peary Show

text:
The Harold Peary Show is a radio situation comedy broadcast in the United States September 17, 1950-June 13, 1951 on CBS. Some sources refer to the program as Honest Harold or The Hal Peary Show.

Background
The period 1948-1950 brought major changes to network radio, as CBS hired a number of stars from NBC in what some have called "talent raids". Some of the top performers who changed networks were Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Edgar Bergen, and the husband-and-wife duo George Burns and Gracie Allen. One result of the changes was that 12 of the 15 highest-rated radio programs at the end of 1949 were on CBS.

Harold Peary did not find such success, however. Peary switched to CBS, while the program in which he had starred, The Great Gildersleeve, stayed on NBC. Those changes resulted in a new program (The Harold Peary Show) for Peary and a new star (Willard Waterman) for Gildersleeve. Radio historian John Dunning commented that The Harold Peary Show "failed to gain any measure of an audience in its lone season".

Format
The Harold Peary Show featured a radio show within a radio show. The main character, Harold Hemp -- called "Honest Harold," was host of a program called "The Happy Homemaker". As one would expect from a situation comedy, humor arose from Hemp's interaction with other characters in the episodes. They included his mother, his nephew, a marshal, a doctor, the radio station's switchboard operator, and girlfriends.

Problems
Although not an exact duplicate, The Harold Peary Show bore much similarity -- perhaps too much similarity -- to The Great Gildersleeve. Dunning wrote, "Peary tried with Honest Harold to do Gildy all over again." One old-time radio website commented: "The new show also borrowed a few Gildersleeve plot devices, such as running for mayor and engagements to two women. In what was possibly a desperate attempt to recreate the Gildersleeve magic, it even brought in actress Shirley Mitchell, virtually recreating her Gildersleeve role of Leila Ransom, under the name of Florabelle Breckenridge."

The program was knocked in at least two published articles. Dunning wrote about a review in Radio Life magazine that he summarized, in part, as follows: "Waterman was a 'splendid' replacement in a tough situation ... he won over the studio audience ... cast members rooted for him wholeheartedly ... Waterman's own intrinsic thespian integrity contributed to an initial performance that was greeted with enthusiasm. The same review panned Honest Harold as derivative, unexciting, and, in the end, 'just another show.'" Meanwhile, media critic John Crosby commented in a column published March 1, 1951: Last summer, the intellectual hierarchy at the Columbia Broadcasting System announced triumphantly that they had absconded with one more NBC star, namely Harold Peary who had been "The Great Gildersleve" on NBC since the year two. Mr. Peary, said CBS, had been signed to a seven year contract and would create a new show and a new character for that network. It must have seemed like a bright idea at the time. Events have proved it to be an unqualified disaster both for the network and Mr. Peary.

A newspaper obituary for Peary commented about The Harold Peary Show, "That series, however, never achieved the popularity of Gildersleeve and gradually faded away."

Characters and cast
In addition to Peary in the title role, the main characters and the actors who played them were as follows:

Bob LeMond was the announcer, and Jack Meakin led the orchestra. Norman Macdonnell was the director.

title: Sonic Jump Fever

text:
Sonic Jump Fever was a 2014 vertical platform game developed by British studio Hardlight. It was the sequel to Sonic Jump. The game was made available for iOS and Android systems on July 10, 2014.

Sonic Jump Fever is no longer available to download on the Google Play Store as of November 7, 2016.

Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to that of the previous Sonic Jump title. The objective of the game is to navigate a vertical course as high as possible. The player tilts their device to move the character left and right, and can tap the screen to perform a double jump. Hitting opponents from below destroys them and scores the player points. Unlike the original Sonic Jump, Fever focuses on competitive multiplayer. The game contains a leaderboard displayed before each round showing players the high scores of other players. These leaderboard scores reset twice a week to encourage competitive play.

Reception

Sonic Jump Fever received an aggregated review score of 54 on Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Carter Dotson of Gamezebo gave the game a positive review, praising the game having a faster structure than Sonic Jump and the game's monetization, saying "the game is surprisingly good about the money it encourages players to spend" and that it can be played cheaply, while criticizing the game's repetitiveness though noting that the game was good to play in short periods, and complaining that the playable character can sometimes blend into the background. Pocket Gamers Harry Slater gave a negative review, saying that the game was not as fun as the original game, and that any part of the game that was not the jumping was unnecessary. Shaun Musgrave of TouchArcade was negative, complaining about the game's advertisements and the time it takes for the stage to change, noting that the game was worse than Sonic Jump, though praising the game's fever mechanic, graphics, and the speed of its gameplay.

title: Graystone Ballroom

text:
The Graystone Ballroom was a dance hall located at 4237 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Billed as "Detroit's Million Dollar Ballroom", it opened its doors on March 7, 1922 with a floorplan designed to hold 3,000 people, making it the largest ballroom of the city at that point. It would become one of the six great ballrooms of the city before the stock market crash of 1929 put a halt to new construction. The others were the Jefferson Ballroom, the Grande Ballroom, the Monticello Ballroom, the Beach Ballroom, the Vanity Ballroom, and the Mirror Ballroom.

In 1980, after decades of decay, neglect, and occupation by vandals, the building was demolished to make way for a McDonald’s location which still stands today.

title: Signalism

text:
Signalism (; from ) represents an international neo-avant-garde literary and art movement. It gathered wider support base both in former Yugoslavia and the world in the late 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s.

The origins and methods of Signalism

The beginning of Signalism dates back to 1959 when its founder and main theoretician Miroljub Todorović started with his linguistic experiments. His main belief was that there can be no significant leap forward in poetry without revolutionizing its main medium – the language.

The birth of Signalism in Serbian literature and culture, with its tendency to revolutionize other arts as well (visual, theater, comics, music and movies), came from the need to eliminate the spent models carried on by poetic and cultural traditions, as well as from the necessity to take on the challenges and spirit of the modern technological and electronic civilization. In its program ("Manifesto" and other guiding texts) as well as in its art pieces, Signalism made a clean break from the principles of neoromantism and late symbolism still governing Serbian literature. Its goal was set to radically change poetry both through content and form, and make it compatible with the contemporary times.

Revolutionizing of the poetic language started with the introduction of the symbols, formulas and linguistic forms of the "hard" sciences (physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, biochemistry and astronomy). Furthermore, the language was made visual by dispersing words and sentences into syllables and letters forming visually recognizable patterns,  as well as by introducing non-verbal symbols into the text (drawings, photographs, graphs.) for the purpose of creating a collage of verbal and visual elements. This first phase of Signalism is often referred to as Scientism, with the most prominent examples including the books "Planeta" (Planet, 1965) and "Putovanje u Zvezdaliju" (A trip to Starland, 1971) as well as poetry cycles "Belančevina" (Protein), "Kiseonik" (Oxygen), "Ožilište" (Nursery) and others in which the topics are Space, Time and Matter.

In there for decade long research and creative pursuit that followed, Signalists significantly expanded cognitive boundaries and genre profile of modern Serbian poetry. Signalist poetry can be divided into two main forms: verbal and non-verbal. Verbal poetry consists of scientist, aleatoric (random), stochastic, technological, phenomenological, slang and apeironistic poetry. Non-verbal poetry subtypes include visual, object, sound and gestual poetry.

Signalism made significant advances in prose (experimental novel and short story). There is also a number of significant Signalist children literature accomplishments. In visual art strides are made in body art, mail art, performance and conceptual art.

Three manifestos helped define Signalism as a neo-avant-garde movement that negates literal, artistic and cultural heritage, poetic and aesthetic conventions and canonical ways of creativity by insisting on creative experimentation – "Manifesto of scientific poetry" (1968), "Signalist manifesto (Regulae poesis)" (1969) and "Signalism" (1970).

The movement was significantly boosted by the international magazine "Signal", inaugurated in 1970. Nine issues of "Signal" appeared between 1970 and 1973, presenting a number of domestic and international artists, as well as printing bibliographical data about the avant-garde publications all around the world. From 1973 until 1995 magazine could not be published, mainly for financial reasons. From 1995 to 2004 another 21 issues of "Signal" appeared. The new release of "Signal" revitalized the Signalist movement and brought an army of young artists into the movement in 21st century.

On the work of Miroljub Todorović and Signalism movement that he had founded, three doctoral dissertations have been defended: Dr. Julian Kornhauser, Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, 1980; Dr. Živan Živković, Faculty of Philology in Belgrade, 1991 and Dr. Milivoje Pavlović, University of Kosovska Mitrovica, 2002. Twenty monographs have also been published on the same subject.

Critical reception

Numerous domestic and international critics and theoreticians hold Signalism in high regard:

Prof. Miloš Bandić: "Signalism is – after Zenitism, Surrealism and the movement of social literature – the next and autochthonous literary and artistic movement in Serbian literature of 20th century. At the same time, in contemporary Yugoslav literature and culture, Signalism is confirmed as an exclusive modern dimension and a separate artistic form and production. Without it all would probably be poorer and who knows how deprived."

Oskar Davičo, famous writer: "For the first time from the appearance of Surrealism in the twenties, we can joyfully confirm that with exploration of Miroljub Todorović, Serbian poetry can again catch up with the genuine worldwide avant-garde explorations."

Zoran Markuš, visual arts critic: "Signalism is our parallel phenomena within the brackets of the most extreme avant-garde and that explains its international expansion, approval and importance in certain artistic and intellectual circles."

Dave Oz, Canadian multimedia artist: "True essence of Signalism is that it expects appearance of planetary consciousness."

Gillo Dorfles, Italian arts theoretician: "Signalism means a step forward, in relation to concrete poetry, visual poetry and the art of the sign."

Prof. Milivoje Pavlović: "Thanks to Miroljub Todorović and the group that follows him, Signalism with its mainstream represents the arc which connects in a creative manner avant-garde aims from the period between wars with the contemporary epoch, bringing valuable innovations and connecting Serbian art with the modern world’s processes." (From the book The Keys of Signalist Poetics)

title: Did Ya

text:
"Did Ya" is a song by the English rock band The Kinks, appearing on the EP of the same name, as well as some editions of Phobia.

Release

"Did Ya" first saw release on October 24, 1991, in numerous different formats (all of which were the first that The Kinks released on Columbia Records.) In America, the song was the title track of a five-song EP. This five track EP was instead made into a CD maxi-single in Europe. Instead of this five song lineup, however, the song was released as a single in the Netherlands, backed with a rerecording of The Kinks' 1968 hit, "Days". The song, however, was unsuccessful. It has also appeared on the Japanese, British, and European versions of Phobia, released in 1993.

The song was a commentary on romanticization of the "Swinging Sixties" culture.

The song also appeared on the compilation album Waterloo Sunset: The Best of The Kinks and Ray Davies.

title: Percy Klaehn

text:
Percy Carl Klaehn (1896 – May 8, 1984) was a Canadian educator, soldier, and politician who served as mayor of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from 1963 to 1964.

Early life and career
Klaehn was born in Valleyfield, Quebec and came west with his family while still young. Klaehn served with Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry during the First World War and was wounded at the Battle of Vimy Ridge. At the start of the Second World War, Klaehn joined the Saskatoon Light Infantry. He was named commander of The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and took part in the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. He later commanded the 8th Canadian Infantry Brigade in Belgium. He then went to England as commander of the Canadian School of Infantry. In the fall of 1945, Klaehn returned to Saskatoon as regional administrator for the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. In 1946, he became commander of the 17th Infantry Brigade and later the 21st Militia of Saskatoon. Klaehn retired from the military in 1958 but was named honorary lieutenant-colonel for the North Saskatchewan Regiment.

Between the First and Second World Wars, Klaehn also taught school in Saskatoon, North Battleford and Weyburn. He was a high school coach for Ethel Catherwood, who later won a gold medal for Canada in the high jump at the 1928 Summer Olympics.

Political career
Klaehn was elected to Saskatoon city council in a 1958 by-election and served on council until 1963. He was elected mayor following the resignation of Sidney Buckwold in 1963. He was defeated by E. J. Cole when he ran for reelection in 1964, which was considered a significant upset.

Personal life
Klaehn and his wife Helen had four children: David, Carolyn, Laura, and Valerie. After leaving politics, Klaehn returned to teaching. He served as principal of Biggar Composite School and also taught in Rosetown and Harris. He returned to Saskatoon after he retired from teaching and later died there at the age of 88. He is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery with Helen, who died in 1997.

Klaehn was named an officer of the Order of the British Empire.

title: 2011 Havant Borough Council election

text:
The 2011 Havant Borough Council election took place on 5 May 2011 to elect members of Havant Borough Council in Hampshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.

After the election, the composition of the council was:
Conservative 35
Liberal Democrats 2
Labour 1

Background
A total of 42 candidates stood at the election for the 10 seats that were contested. The only non-Conservative councillor whose seat was up for election, Liberal Democrat Ann Buckley in Bedhampton ward, stood down at the election.

Election result
The Conservatives won all 10 seats contested and therefore held 35 of the 38 seats on the council, while the Liberal Democrats dropped to 2 seats and Labour remained on 1 seat. The only change saw Conservative George Smith gained Bedhampton from the Liberal Democrats. The Liberal Democrats saw their share of the vote fall, which was blamed on the party's role in the national coalition government. Overall turnout was just over 42%, down from over 61% at the 2010 council election when it had been held at the same time as the general election.
