title: Miagao Church

text:
The Santo Tomás de Villanueva Parish, also known as Miagao Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Miagao, Iloilo, Philippines. The church was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 11, 1993, together with San Agustin Church in Manila; Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion Church in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur; and San Agustin Church in Paoay, Ilocos Norte under the collective title Baroque Churches of the Philippines, a collection of four Baroque Spanish-era churches.

History
Miagao was formerly a visita (a locality served by a visiting priest) of Oton until 1580, Tigbauan until 1592, San Joaquín until 1703 and Guimbal until 1731. It became an independent parish of the Augustinians in 1731 under the advocacy of Saint Thomas of Villanova. With the establishment of the parish, a church and convent was built on land near the sea called Ubos. Father Fernando Camporredondo served as the town's first parish priest in 1734. When the town experienced frequent Moro invasion in 1741 and 1754, the town moved to a more secure place. From there, a new church was constructed in 1787 through forced labor under the supervision of Fray Francisco Gonzales, parish priest and Spanish gobernadorcillo Domingo Libo-on. It was built on the highest point of the town to guard from invaders called Tacas. After ten years, the church was completed in 1797. It was designed with thick walls to serve as protection from invaders. It was severely damaged during the Spanish revolution in 1898 but was later rebuilt, fire in 1910, the second World War and earthquake in 1948. The present church is the third structure built since its establishment in 1731. To preserve the church, it underwent restoration in 1960. This was completed in 1962. It has been declared a national shrine through Presidential Decree No. 260.

Architecture
The church's over-all architectural style falls under the Baroque-Romanesque style. Its ochre color is due to the materials used in constructing the church: adobe, egg, coral and limestone., The church's foundation is  deep and the massive stone walls at  thick are intensified through the use of  thick setback buttresses as protection to the Moro invaders as stipulated under Royal Decree 111 of 1573 (Law of the Indies).

Façade
The façade of the church consists of an ornately decorated bas-relief in the middle of two huge watchtower belfries on each side. The bas-relief is a mixed influence of Medieval Spanish, Chinese, Muslim and local traditions and elements, a unique characteristic of the church façade. A prominent part of the façade is a coconut tree depicted as the tree of life where St. Christopher holds on. St. Christopher is dressed in local and traditional clothing carrying the Child Jesus on his back. The rest of the façade features the daily life of the people of Miagao during that time including native flora (like papaya, coconut and palm tree) and fauna.,

Above the wooden door entrance at the center of the façade just below the image of St. Christopher is a carved image of the town's patron saint, St. Thomas of Villanueva. At each side of the door is the images of St. Henry of Bavaria on the left and Pope Pius VI., Above the images of St. Henry and Pope Pius VI is their respective coat-of-arms.

Belltower
The two huge unequal belltowers  directly attached to the main church serve as watchtowers to defend the town against invasion of Moros. It has two different designs since it was commissioned by two different priests. On the left side is the older belfry, the tallest west belfry with four levels. Originally, the east belfry was constructed only with two levels. It was in 1830 when Father Francisco Perez decided to add another story to the east belfry. Until now, the east belfry (three levels) is one level shorter that the west belfry (four levels).

The original late 1790s images of St. Tomas of Villanova can also be found enclosed in a glass case in the rear side of the church.

Sanctuary
The sanctuary of the church is composed of an altar, tabernacle, retablo and shrines on both sides. The retablo is gold-plated and consists of a crucifix (center), statue of St. Joseph (left), statue of St. Thomas (right) and a statue of Sto. Niño (top). The shrine on the left of the altar houses the Sacred Heart of Jesus while the shrine on the right of the altar houses the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

title: Jonathan Rashleigh (1693–1764)

text:
Jonathan Rashleigh (19 January 1693 – 24 November 1764) of Menabilly, Cornwall, was a British landowner and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons for 37 years from 1727 to 1764.

Early life

Rashleigh was born on 19 January 1693 at Menabilly, near Fowey in Cornwall.  He was the fourth and youngest son of Jonathan Rashleigh (1642–1702), MP by his second wife, Sarah (née Carew) Rashleigh.  His sister, Sarah Rashleigh was married to the Rev. Carolus Pole, brother of Sir William Pole.

His maternal grandfather was Sir John Carew, 3rd Baronet, M.P., of Antony, Cornwall.

Career
Rashleigh was appointed Recorder of Fowey in 1714. At the 1727 British general election he was returned unopposed on the family interest as Tory Member of Parliament (MP) for Fowey. He was returned again unopposed at the general elections of 1734, 1741, 1747, 1754 and 1761. He is not recorded as ever speaking and never held an office or pension.

Inheritance and estates
He was heir to his brother Philip Rashleigh, a supporter of the Jacobite pretender who died in 1736 without issue, and his half first-cousin Sir Coventry Carew, 6th Baronet of Antony, who died 1748, from whom he co-inherited with his great-nephew Reginald Pole Carew, several manors in Cornwall, including East Antony, Manely Durnford, Langunnet, Little Deviock, Sheviock, Nancolleth, Pensignance, Penventon, Helsett, Drewsteignton and Notter.

After the death of Lady Carew in 1762 he inherited further properties, namely Roserrow in St Minver and Davidstow, Tregollen in St Minver and Davidstow, Trelander in St Minver and Davidstow, Grays in St Minver and Davidstow, Rosebenault in St Minver and Davidstow, Newham stream works and St Veep woods.

Personal life
On 11 June 1728, Rashleigh was married to Mary Clayton, daughter of Sir William Clayton, 1st Baronet.  He and his wife had nine sons and four daughters, including:

 Philip Rashleigh (1729–1811), who married his first cousin, Jane Pole (1720–1795), only daughter of the Rev. Carolus Pole (third son of Sir John Pole of Shute).
 William Rashleigh (1733–), who died unmarried.
 Mary Rashleigh (1737–1806), who married William Stackhouse.
 Rachel Rashleigh (1739-1829), who married John Gould MD.
 Rev. Jonathan Rashleigh (1740–1806), who married Catherine Stackhouse, daughter of Rev. William Stackhouse of Trehane., whose descendants continued the Menabilly line.
 John Rashleigh of Penquite (1742–1803), who married Katherine Battie, daughter and co-heir of William Battie, Esq. M.D.

Rashleigh died on 24 November 1764 and the estates passed to his eldest son Philip.  Upon Philip's death in 1811, as he had no issue, the family estates passed to Rashleigh's grandson William Rashleigh (the eldest son of his third son), MP for Fowey and Sheriff of Cornwall.

Descendants
Through his fourth son, John Rashleigh, he was a grandfather of Sir John Colman Rashleigh, 1st Baronet of Prideaux, Cornwall, and great-grandfather of Sir Colman Rashleigh, 2nd Baronet, MP for East Cornwall.

title: Govenia floridana

text:
Govenia floridana, the Florida govenia, is an extinct species of orchid that was endemic to Everglades National Park in Florida. It was discovered for the first time in 1957, with a total populations of 25 individuals, and the last verified report was from the same site in 1964, where the population had declined to just 10 individuals. It is likely that poaching of plants contributed to its decline and extinction.

Description
Govenia floridana was a perennial herb that grew up to  tall. It had only 2 leaves, each with a sheath  long and an elliptical blade up to  long. Flowers were white with purple spots. It grew in deeply shaded tropical hardwood hammock habitat on the island of Long Pine Key, a  island in Everglades National Park.

title: Lejonströmsbron

text:
Lejonströmsbron is a wooden bridge in Skellefteå, Sweden, crossing Skellefte River between the boroughs Sunnanå and Prästbordet, near the parish church for Skellefteå landsförsamling. The bridge was completed in 1737 and is the oldest wooden bridge in Sweden. It is  in length, and was for a long time Sweden's longest wooden bridge (until a 230-meter long wooden bridge was built in Gimonäs in Umeå in 2006).

During its first years of operation, the toll to cross the bridge was:
A walking person - 1 öre
A rider on horseback - 3 öre
Carts pulled by a horse - 6 öre
Wagon pulled by several horses - 12 öre

In 1868 a speed limit was introduced over the bridge. If a person drove or rode faster than a pedestrian, they could be fined five riksdaler.

Lejonströmsbron was declared a listed building in Sweden in 1994.

The last war battles that took place on Swedish soil, took place in north Sweden under the Finnish War, also known as the 1808–09 war. On May 15, 1809 the Battle of Lejonströmsbron occurred.

title: Bart van Leeuwen

text:
Bart van Leeuwen (5 February 1950, in Amsterdam – 17 June 2017) was a Dutch photographer and author.

Career
Van Leeuwen published his first pictures in 1967, graduated from the School for Professional Photography in The Hague in 1969 and started to work as a freelance photographer in 1971. Inspired by film noir, Italian neorealism and photographers like Avedon, Brassaï, Frank, Kertész, Lartigue, Newton and Penn he developed a narrative, cinematographic style, linking facts and fiction. He published "Nabelichting", an autobiographical novel, in 2012, and "Niets is Echt", a book about photography and reality, in 2015. Due to a neuromuscular disorder he ceased the creation of new photographic works in 2005 and until his death lived with his wife and son just outside Amsterdam.

Acclaim

Van Leeuwen has had much critical acclaim over the course of his career. He has received multiple awards and has often been asked to teach by art schools and universities.

Hannah Hör writes:
A fashion photographer who completely rewrote the rules of his trade, using city streets as expressive backdrops, offering an almost casual perspective on cutting-edge fashion designs, and favouring coincidence over carefully crafted poses, Bart van Leeuwen is a master of his profession. His body of work is an intoxicating journey into sensual metropolises like Naples and through fashion capitals such as New York and Paris. The Dutch artist captures the poetic stories of everyday life with cinematographic elegance, drawing inspiration from the contrast-rich style of Film Noir and from Italian neorealism.

[...]

Van Leeuwen's photographic oeuvre is characterised by chance and spontaneity. Whether shooting Andy Warhol during a workout in the factory or capturing Freddy Mercury, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Grace Jones as they happened to stand opposite him: "I always tried to be open to coincidences, not restricting myself to a pre-defined concept, to find things I wasn’t even looking for but that were actually better than I could have imagined". Van Leeuwen’s photographs can be found in the private collections of fashion designers such as Thierry Mugler or Christian Lacroix, as well as in the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.

Publications

Van Leeuwen has worked for magazines like Avenue, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Esquire, Harpers Bazaar, i-D, Kult, Marie-Claire, Oor, Playboy, Sunday Times, Viva and Wallpaper and companies such as Agnès B, Barclays, Bilderberg, Bijenkorf, CBS, Harrods, ING, Levi's, Matinique, Philips, RCA, René Lezard, Sara Lee, Woolmark and Volvo, shooting fashion stories, advertising campaigns and portraits. Andy Warhol, Bob Geldof, Candy Dulfer, Carice van Houten, Dizzy Gillespie, Dolores Olmedo, Freddie Mercury, Giorgio Armani, Grace Jones, Herman Brood, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jerry Hall, John Cale, Nina Hagen and Sylvia Kristel are among the celebrities he photographed.

title: Swann House

text:
Swann House, a.k.a. Lyle House, is a historic high-rise building in Melbourne, Australia.

Location
The building is located at 22 on William Street in the Central Business District of Melbourne.

History
It was built in 1921 for the State Electricity Commission of Victoria, on the site where John Pascoe Fawkner's house previously stood. It was designed by architect Alfred Romeo La Gerche in the palazzo/classical style, with an Art Deco edge, though others have described the style as "commercial palazzo form with restrained Greek Revival detailing". The construction firm was Hansen & Yuncken.

Two decades later, in 1948–1949, two more floors were added at the top of the building. As such it is now twelve stories () in height.

In 2014 it was purchased by the Orion Group.

title: Android One

text:
Android One is a family of third-party Android smartphones promoted by Google. In comparison to many third-party Android devices, which ship with a manufacturer's customized user interface and bundled apps, these devices run near-stock versions of Android with limited modifications, and a focus on Google services (although they may still feature software enhancements to support the features of included hardware, such as cameras). Devices that run Android One receive OS updates for at least two years after their release, and security patches for at least three years.

The Android One program began in 2014, and was first positioned as a reference platform for low-end devices targeting emerging markets such as India. A goal of the program was to accelerate the availability of newer versions of Android on such devices. In the years that followed, the Android One program expanded to target more territories and global releases, and to include mid-range and high-end devices as well. As of December 2018, there were over 100 Android One smartphone models.

Android One has been considered a successor to the former Google Play Edition and Nexus programs, which similarly featured third-party devices co-developed or vetted by Google, with stock Android and quicker releases of updates. The Google Pixel replaced Nexus as a first-party brand of flagship Android devices manufactured by Google; although they do run a stock Android interface, they still contain exclusive software features that are not always made available to the stock Android source code or third-party devices.

History
Android One was started by Sundar Pichai, former product chief and current CEO of Google. Before Android One, it often took at least a year before the latest Android update arrived on non-Google devices. The project was targeted at the Indian market for low-tier devices. Pichai said that the initial set of devices shared common hardware because they were based on the reference platform, but an increasing range of devices were to be launched in the future. Security and system updates were handled by Google for the first set of Android One devices, which featured MediaTek's quad-core MT6582 Mobile System-on-Chip (Mobile SoC).

In 2014, Android One phones initially rolled out in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and other South Asian countries. The first Android One smartphones were by the Indian brands Micromax, Spice and Karbonn in September 2014, the second generation Android One smartphones were by Indonesia brands Mito Impact, Evercoss One X, Nexian journey in February 2015 and the first Android One preinstalled with Android 5.0 Lollipop. Other manufacturers including QMobile have launched an Android One device named QMobile A1, on July 6, 2015, in Pakistan. Android One launched in Nigeria in August 2015 with the Infinix Hot 2 X510 (1 and 2 GB RAM version) and became the first Android One in Africa. Infinix Hot 2 X510 was also exported to other African countries such as Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Kenya, Cameroon, Uganda, and also Asian countries such as United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and Indonesia (2 GB RAM version only). Other manufactures are to follow gradually.

In 2016, SoftBank announced they would be the first carrier in Japan to introduce an Android One phone in the country, namely the Sharp 507SH which was released in late July 2016.

On May 25, 2017, Turkish smartphone brand "General Mobile" released the next addition to their fully committed portfolio of Android One phones, the GM 6. SoftBank soon followed by introducing the Sharp X1 in Japan through its subsidiary telecommunications company, Y!Mobile, on June 30.

On September 5, 2017, Android One and Xiaomi jointly announced the Xiaomi Mi A1 as the first Android One device to be released globally in over 36 markets. In September 2017, MVNO Google Fi introduced the first Android One device available in the U.S. with the Android One Moto X4. In November 2017, Android One entered the German market with HTC with the U11 Life.

At the end of November 2017, SoftBank announced the addition of four new devices to its Android One lineup with Y!Mobile: the X2 (HTC), X3 (Kyocera), S3 (Sharp), and S4 (Kyocera).

In February 2018, HMD Global, the maker of Nokia smartphones, announced that it had joined the Android One program. Nokia 6.1, Nokia 7 Plus, and Nokia 8 Sirocco were among the first batch of Android One phones from HMD.

In 2020, Xiaomi discontinued its only Android One lineup, the Xiaomi Mi A series, ending with the Xiaomi Mi A3.

Features

Devices are approved by Google, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) agree to these requirements:

 Has Android OS updates for two years.
 Has regular security patch updates for three years.
 Has stock Android UI.
 Google services intact.

Android One has these features:

 Minimal amount of bloatware.
 Android One phones prioritize background activity for the most important apps to reduce power usage. In addition, its lower memory footprint is also suited for entry-level smartphones with 3 GB of RAM or less, as well as those with slower processors.
 "Google Search Bar" widget on the home screen is unremovable. However a user can change its position and theme.

OS and security updates

Concerning Android operating system (OS) and security updates the official Android One entry page says (in the fine print at the end of it): "Confirm exact duration of support for phones in your territory with smartphone manufacturer. Monthly security updates to be supported for at least three years after initial phone release."

A February 22, 2018, Google blog article says: "Faster access to Android OS updates for two years, including the latest AI innovations from Google; Amongst the most secure devices in the ecosystem with regular security updates for three years and Google Play Protect built in".

In December 2018 Google stated: "We confirm that our promise to provide 2 years of updates on Android One devices still stands and our website design does not impact the promise of this program."

Android One continues to expand its line of smartphones and geographic availability through OEM and carrier partnerships.

Countries of release are likely to expand beyond the initial countries and regions listed below.

History

In 1938, the Instituto de Educación Superior (Higher Education Institute) was established, offering bachillerato-level courses. Between 1943 and 1945, it absorbed the College of Nursing and Obstetrics and the College of Commerce and Administration, allowing the IES to begin offering additional and higher-level programs.

In 1953, seeking to improve the quality of higher education in Morelos and in response to an increased demand, the governor and the Institute presented the 31st State Legislature with a proposal to transform the IES into a university. That year, the legislature passed a law creating and regulating the Universidad de Morelos (University of Morelos).

The new university did not have a campus, offering its programs in different facilities. In 1958, under interim rector Francisco Cabrera de la Rosa, the school began to seek the construction of its own campus. In the early 1960s, land was donated for the school in Chamilpa, which had originally been slated for development as a military college. On November 22, 1967, with the university now settled in its new campus to the north of Cuernavaca, it gained autonomy and changed its name to the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos.

In the 1980s, the university began to expand statewide. In 1985, the Eastern Regional Professional Institute (IPRO) opened, offering agricultural programs such as a degree in engineering for farm implements and vegetable production, and soon after, it began offering social sciences and business degrees in areas such as sociology, economics and accounting. Facing increasing demand in some of its core programs, the Southern Regional Professional Institute (IPRES) was founded in Jojutla, offering law, administration and accounting degrees.

Continued expansion of the UAEM resulted in the establishment of a radio service, Radio UAEM, in 2000, with transmitters in Cuernavaca, Cuautla, and Jojutla, as well as the conversion of the professional institutes into regional campuses.

Campuses

The Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos has a presence in 17 municipalities in the state.

Higher education facilities are located in Cuernavaca, Jojutla, Cuautla, Ayala/Xalostoc, Jonacatepec, Puente de Ixtla, and Mazatepec. There are six preparatory schools associated with the university and various regional centers.

title: Opéra imaginaire

text:
(translates as "an opera for the imagination") is a 1993 live-action animated musical anthology television film. It has been compared to films like Fantasia and Allegro Non Troppo, and consists of 12 different segments, most of which are based on different popular operas. All of these segments are done in a greater variety of animation styles than Fantasia had done. It was nominated for best production at the CableACE Awards in 1994.

Program

Intro
The film begins with "Je crois entendre encore" (from Georges Bizet's opera Les pêcheurs de perles) playing, while screenshots from each of the 12 segments appear.

Segments
"Ladies and gentlemen. Or perhaps... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome. Welcome to a gala for a very special occasion. Tonight, we are going to celebrate 400 years of opera with some of my very favourite pieces. I've invited a few of my best friends along, and one or two of my best enemies. You may know some of them already: Lakmé, Scarpia, Pagliacci. And who better to accompany us as we start our journey than the first great recording artist, Caruso? Oh, it's not as far as the Met, La Scala or Covent Garden; we are going to my 'Opéra imaginaire'. So, let's imagine."

1. "Vesti la giubba", from Ruggero Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci, sung by Enrico Caruso (in 1902) in the aria's introduction and Franco Corelli (in 1960) throughout the rest of it. A stop motion animation based on the opera with a dark comedy theme and the characters rendered as circus-style clowns. A "happier" ending is shown with the 2D-animated ghost of Nedda reconciling with a rather obese Canio after he had "accidentally" killed her. Directed by Ken Lidster.

"You may have heard of the jester Rigoletto. Well, his daughter is in love with the Duke of Mantua. This is not a very reputable neighbourhood. But then, the duke is not a very reputable person. He's about to see that women are fickle."

2. "La donna è mobile", from Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto, sung by Nicolai Gedda. In the crimson heart of the wine in his glass, the (live-acted) Duke of Mantua embarks on a 2D fantasy in which he sees hand-drawn animated nude women based on those who come from famous paintings by French painters. Directed by Monique Renault.

"Oh, there's a lady who doesn't let much slip through her fingers if she decides she wants it. But, who will she choose next? Or will fate take her hand? Hey, Carmen, what do the cards hold for you today?"

3. "Avec la garde montante", from Bizet's opera Carmen, sung by Les Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois with the Opéra National de Paris, and conducted by Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos in 1970. Carmen (live-acted) lays down her tarot cards which through CGI spring to life with the images the cards each depicting one of her choices from the opera: Don José, Escamillo, or Death. Directed by Pascal Roulin and Christophe Vallaux.

"They say that love makes the world go round. Well, Count Almaviva's house is certainly spinning before Susanna's and Figaro's marriage. Oh, such a crazy day. Oh, I can remember feeling just like Cherubino, the page; young enough to be allowed liberties and, uh, old enough to take advantage of them. Oh, love..."

4. "Voi che sapete", from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro, sung by Suzanne Danco. A tribute to Cherubino's cross-dressing adventures, rendered through paper cut-out style animation against CGI backgrounds. Directed by Pascal Roulin.

"Now, which one was it, I wonder? Aha! Ah, I should have guessed... Madame Butterfly, such a fragile creature. She's looking for something too. Looking and waiting for a ship, and her husband to return."

5. "Un bel dì vedremo", from Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly, sung by Felicia Weathers. The story of Cio-Cio-San's tragedy is rendered through animation in the style of traditional Japanese watercolors. Directed by Jonathan Hills.

"Hmm... Ah, what do we have here? A pearl from a necklace, no doubt. 'Cherchez la femme' as they say. Now where... Aha! Ah, you really can hear the sea. And a song from long ago, of two pearl fishers who swore they would always be friends, and..."

6. "Au fond du temple saint", also from Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles, sung by Nicolai Gedda and Ernest Blanc. A wispy, black-and-white, rotoscoped animation depicting a condensed version of the opera's plot set to its famous aria. Directed by Jimmy T. Murakami.

"Ah, here we are, the Magic Flute. And the search for truth and light. Will Pamina find Tamino, the man she loves, in the Temple of Ordeal? Ah, ah, ah! Patience, Pamina."

7. "Bald prangt, den Morgen zu verkünden ... Du also bist mein Bräutigam", from Mozart's opera The Magic Flute, sung by Lucia Popp. A 2D-style CGI animated, geometrical version of the scene of Pamina's attempt at suicide and subsequent discovery of Tamino in the Temple of Ordeal, with all the characters' bodies rendered in geometrical shapes on an ever-shifting stage. Directed by Raimund Krumme.

"What's that? Is it the Prince over there? Or perhaps, Dandino? It must be the day after the ball. But it's Cinderella's bracelet, not a slipper, we must look for. And everyone keeps on switching identities. Oh, what a tangle..."

8. "Questo è un nodo avviluppato", from Gioachino Rossini's opera La Cenerentola, sung in sextet in 1963 by Giulietta Simionato, Ugo Benelli, Sesto Bruscantini, Dora Carra, Miti Truccato Pace, and Paolo Montarsolo with the Orchestra of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, and conducted by Oliviero De Fabritiis. A sunny take on the opera and the Cinderella fairy tale through hand-drawn animation with the characters randomly assuming each other's identities, as well as those of characters from other fairy tales, including "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", "Little Red Riding Hood", and "The Three Little Pigs". Directed by Stephen Palmer.

"Ah, I do love a happy ending. Don't you? I think most people do. Oh, except this chap. He's always around offering... temptation, and taking your soul in return. Many like Faust live to regret the pact they made with Mephistopheles."

9. "Le veau d'or", from Charles Gounod's opera Faust, sung by Nicolai Ghiaurov. A hand-drawn, sketchy rendition of the ill-fated romance between Faust and Marguerite as the booming voice of Mephistopheles, who manipulates them like puppets, sings throughout the sequence. Directed by Hilary Audus.

"Still more celebrations. But, not even the tragedy of La Traviata will stop the Parisian high society amusing themselves."

10. "Noi siamo zingarelle", from Verdi's opera La traviata, sung by the Chorus of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia of Rome, and conducted by Francesco Molinari-Pradelli. An unrelated visual version of the opera with stop motion claymation sweets attempting to bring colour to a world made of white cake. Directed by Guionne Leroy.

"Whoa! Well, I know that opera can be a very moving experience, but this? Ah, Lakmé. I can smell that jasmine. It is heavy perfume for a young British officer. And the jungle's full of dangerous secrets, as well as beauty."

11. "Flower Duet", from Léo Delibes's opera Lakmé, sung by Mady Mesplé and Danielle Millet with the Orchestre du Théâtre national de l'Opéra Comique, and conducted by Alain Lombard. A rendition of the opera in which Lakmé's arms and hands, through CGI, turn into various flora and fauna that are found in the jungles of India, including a tree, a cobra, a deer, a bird, a leopard, a woman's arm with bracelets, a rock, a human, a boat, a clump of reeds, and others, as Gérald (live-acted) meets Lakmé (live-acted) in the temple. Directed by Pascal Roulin.

"What the? Ah, of course. Baron Scarpia. Do you know the baron? Well, take it from me, you don't want to. And neither does Tosca, there. She's an opera singer, too. Now, I myself have sung with her on many occasions. The baron has condemned her lover to death. He's being held in the Castel Sant'Angelo."

12. "E lucevan le stelle", from Puccini's opera Tosca, sung by Carlo Bergonzi. An eerie hand-drawn animation depicting Cavaradossi's final hours of life observed by the angel of death and Baron Scarpia's attempted advance on Tosca. Directed by José Abel.

Ending
"Well, the time has come to leave my friends and their stories. But, of course, the magic of music can bring us back here anytime. There are no limits. Just... listen... and imagine."

During the end credits, the film closes again with Bizet's "Je crois entendre encore", while the same screenshots from each of the 12 segments shown in the beginning reappear.

title: Fide Church

text:
Fide Church () is a medieval church in Fide on the Swedish island of Gotland, surrounded by an unusually well-preserved medieval cemetery. Belonging to the Church of Sweden, it lies in the Diocese of Visby.

History and architecture
Fide Church dates from the 13th century. Oldest are the nave and choir, while the tower was added slightly later. The roof lantern which gives the top of the tower its distinctive shape is however considerably later, from 1826.

The church lies in an unusually well-preserved medieval cemetery which is surrounded by a low wall in which three medieval lych gates still sits. The building material of the church is sandstone. The exterior of the church is rather plain, but unusually the church still has the original windows, which have never been enlarged.

Inside, the church is decorated with murals from two different periods. The oldest are from the early 15th century and includes religious subjects as well as an inscription in Latin that has been interpreted as a lamentation of the Battle of Visby in 1361. In translation it reads: "The field is burnt and the men cry, beaten and in pain under the sword." The other, somewhat later set of murals depict scenes from the Passion of Christ and has been attributed to the Master of the Passion of Christ. Among the furnishings, especially the medieval (early 15th century) altarpiece deserves mention. The church furthermore has a triumphal cross from the time of the construction of the church, and one of the oldest pulpits on Gotland, from 1587.

title: Adam Hunt

text:
Adam Hunt (born 21 August 1993) is an English professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events.

Career
Hunt began competing in PDC events in 2011 and won his first tournament in his second month, beating Josh Jones 4–2 in the final of the opening youth tour event of the year. In 2012 he qualified for the UK Open for the first time and defeated Steve Maish 4–2, before losing 4–1 to Arron Monk in the second round. A year later he reached his first quarter-final on the Pro Tour at the first UK Open qualifier where he lost 6–1 to Michael van Gerwen. Hunt then won a Challenge Tour title with a 4–2 victory over Ricky Evans and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship, where Michael Smith eliminated him 6–3. He went one better in the UK Open than last year as he lost in the third round 9–8 against Kevin McDine having led 4–1. Hunt's performances on the Challenge Tour saw him finish fourth on the Order of Merit to earn a two-year PDC tour card from 2014.

2014
In March, Hunt reached the third round of the UK Open for the second year in a row, but lost 9–5 to Paul Nicholson. Later in the month he beat Michael van Gerwen to reach the last 16 of the fourth Players Championship, where he was defeated 6–5 by Magnus Caris. Hunt was still competing in youth tournaments as well as the main professional tour and he won the ninth event with a 4–3 success over Rowby-John Rodriguez. He entered the 2014 PDC World Youth Championship as the number 1 seed, but lost in the last 16 to Kevin Voornhout 6-4. At the Gibraltar Darts Trophy, Hunt beat Mervyn King 6–3 and then survived 14 match darts from Dave Chisnall to edge him out 6–5 and reach his first European Tour quarter-final, but his run came to an end as Simon Whitlock defeated him 6–2.

2015
At the 2015 UK Open, Hunt lost 5–4 to Alan Tabern in the first round.  He competed in the 2015 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6–2 to Bradley Kirk. He was knocked out in the first round of the International Darts Open and European Darts Matchplay and at the European Darts Trophy he beat Krzysztof Ratajski 6–5, before losing 6–1 to Michael van Gerwen in the second round. Hunt advanced to the last 16 of an event once this year, but he was defeated 6–1 by Mensur Suljović at the eighth Players Championship.

2016
After the 2016 World Championship Hunt was 71st on the Order of Merit, narrowly outside the top 64 who remain on tour. He therefore entered Q School, but could not advance beyond the last 64 on any of the four days to fall off the tour. He therefore had to build his year on Challenge and Development Tour events winning one of each. He beat Dean Reynolds 4−2 in the fourth Development event and Jamie Bain 5−3 in the sixth Challenge event. Hunt also lost in the final of the sixth Development event 4−2 to Ross Twell. He was the number 5 seed for the 2016 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6-5 in the first round to Sven Groen.

2017
Hunt finished third on the Development Tour Order of Merit, winning one event as well as being a three time runner up that year. By finishing third, he earned a two-year PDC Tour Card for 2018/2019 due to 2nd placed Dimitri van den Bergh already possessing a Tour Card by virtue of being in the world’s top 64. He was the number 4 seed for the 2017 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6-2 to Josh Payne in the second round.

2018
He came through the Tour Card Holders’ Qualifier on 26 November with victories over Terry Temple, Maik Langendorf, Bradley Brooks and Richie Burnett to reach the 2019 PDC World Darts Championship. Hunt lost in the first round 3–0 to eventual quarter finalist Luke Humphries.

Casualties of the Iraqi insurgency (2011–present) refers to deaths and injuries in Iraq after the withdrawal of US forces at the end of the Iraq War on 18 December 2011, as fighting continued between the Iraqi government and anti-government forces in the Iraqi insurgency (2011–2013) and later escalated into the War in Iraq (2014–2017) and subsequent Iraqi insurgency (2017–present).

Casualty statistics

Iraq Body Count

An independent UK/US group, the Iraq Body Count project (IBC) compiles documented (not estimated) Iraqi civilian deaths from violence since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, including those caused directly by US-led coalition and Iraqi government forces and paramilitary or criminal attacks by others. It shows a total range of at least 175,792 to 196,572 civilian deaths in the whole conflict from March 2003 to June 2017.

Following are the monthly IBC Project civilian death totals, from the US pullout in December 2011 onwards.

The numbers include only civilians. The IBC includes non-paramilitary police forces as civilians, and members of the Iraqi Army or paramilitary/militia forces when the death is a result of summary execution after capture. The IBC does a constant check on all its reports, and publishes weekly updates to its monthly casualty table. Consequently, the figures for the last few months in the table above should always be considered preliminary and will be marked in italic until confirmed by IBC.

According to IBC, of the 17,049 civilians recorded killed in 2014 (a figure it later revised upwards), 4,325 were killed by ISIL, 1,748 by Iraqi military airstrikes and 118 by US-coalition airstrikes. A further 10,858 civilians were reported killed by unidentified actors. Of the 16,115 civilians recorded killed in 2015, 8,347 were killed by execution (the killing of captives) and 1,295 by airstrikes; 8,818 civilian deaths involved ISIL and 1,492 involved Iraqi government forces.

Besides continuously updating documented civilian deaths from violence, from time to time IBC also puts out estimates of combatants killed (including Iraqi military and insurgent groups): at the end of 2014, it estimated a lower range of 4,000-5,000 combatants killed in 2014 (based on AFP and official statistics released by Iraqi government ministries) and a higher range of 30,000 combatants killed (based on aggregated media reports), concluding that "the truth probably lies somewhere between these two numbers". At the end of 2015, IBC estimated that, between June 2014 and December 2015, over 4,000 Iraqi soldiers and allied militia were killed, as well as over 1,500 Peshmerga and Kurdish security force members and some 13,000 ISIS fighters. It put the total death toll for insurgents, Iraqi soldiers and other combatants killed in the period 2010–2015 at 24,340.

Iraqi government figures
The Iraqi government releases its own figures, usually on the first day of each month. These are almost always significantly lower than other estimates and often even contradict with news reports, leading to an apparent "under-reporting" of casualty figures, although after the escalation of violence in the summer of 2013 the casualty tolls began to "catch up" with independent estimates. Most news outlets still report on these, and JustPolicy.org  has a running estimate based on the Lancet study  with the rate of increase derived from the Iraq Body Count.

A running tally of all the figures can be found at Google Docs, courtesy of Agence France-Presse. The numbers include civilians, as well as members of the Iraqi Army and police forces.

The Iraqi government also compiles the number of wounded from these three categories, as well as the number of killed and captured insurgents. From the beginning of December 2011 until the end of March 2014, at least 19,829 Iraqis have been injured according to these reports, including 2,688 police officers and 2,319 members of the Iraqi Army. During the same period, 1,350 insurgents were killed, while a total of 4,403 suspects were arrested.

United Nations figures
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) keeps its own statistics on casualties. They include killed and injured civilians (including police) and killed and injured members of Iraqi Security Forces (including Peshmerga and militias fighting alongside the Iraqi Army). They don't include anti-government insurgents. UNAMI warns that it may be under-reporting casualties and that the figures it provides "have to be considered as the absolute minimum".

According to UNAMI, the total number of civilian casualties (killed and injured) in 2013 (including police) was 25,799 (7,818 killed and 17,981 injured).

According to UNAMI, the total number of civilian casualties (killed and injured) in 2014 (including police) was 35,408 (12,282 killed and 23,126 injured).

According to UNAMI, the total number of civilian casualties (killed and injured) in 2015 (including police) was 22,370 (7,515 killed and 14,855 injured).

Other reports

Antiwar.com
Antiwar.com compiles monthly and yearly casualty figures from news reports. Figures include civilians, security personnel and insurgents.

In July 2014, according to Antiwar.com, 5,698 people were killed, including 3,961 insurgents. The rest were civilians and security forces. For the following month, Antiwar.com reported 1,642 civilians and security forces and 3,112 militants died. In September, per Antiwar.com, 1,158 civilians and security forces were killed, along with 2,632 militants. Finally, in October, 1,572 civilians and security forces died, in addition to 4,990 militants, as reported by Antiwar.com.

For the whole 2014, Antiwar.com estimated a total of 48,590 killed (16,229 civilian and security deaths, plus 30,634 militant deaths) and 26,516 wounded.

In 2015, 52,045 people were killed across Iraq according to Antiwar.com: the number of civilians and security personnel killed was 14,571, whereas militants lost 37,474 fighters.

US-led coalition air-strike casualties
Since 8 August 2014, the USA has resumed airstrikes against ISIL targets in support of the Iraqi government, together with a growing coalition of allies (comprising Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Jordan, The Netherlands, and UK). According to Iraq Body Count, 118 civilians were killed by coalition airstrikes in 2014 and 845 in 2015. According to "Airwars", a team of independent journalists, between 393 and 571 civilians were killed by coalition airstrikes in 54 incidents in Iraq between 8 August 2014 and 31 December 2015; other incidents with hundreds more civilian fatalities were also recorded by Airwars, but the US-led coalition's responsibility couldn't be confirmed with equal confidence in those cases.

Month by month

 This section includes both AFP and Iraqi government estimates, and as such, is intended as an addition to the tables above.

Several dozen were killed within the first few days after U.S. withdrawal on December 18, 2011. At least 337 casualties were inflicted by the wave of violence during December 20–26. About 200 died in January, with Al-Arabiya channel claiming mortal casualties to be at least 151 people. The Iraqi Body Count (IBC) claimed 451 casualties in January, including injuries. In February, the death toll across Iraq reached 278 according to IBC. 74 people were killed between March 1–8 according to IBC, and a total of 112 were killed in Iraq in March, according to government figures. At least 126 Iraqis were killed in April, while 132 Iraqis were killed in sectarian violence in Iraq in May 2012. June marked a significant spike in violence, with a major attack occurring on average every three days. At least 237 were killed during the month, with an additional 603 people left injured.

July 2012 was the deadliest month in Iraq since August 2010, with 325 deaths; 241 civilians, 40 police, and 44 soldiers. The month also saw 697 people being wounded by violence; 480 civilians, 122 police, and 95 soldiers. The rise in violence was linked to Sunni insurgents trying to undermine the Shia led government. According to government figures, at least 164 Iraqis were killed during August 2012 – 90 civilians, 39 soldiers and 35 policemen, with 260 others injured. September was a particularly bloody month, with government reports citing at least 365 deaths (182 civilians, 95 soldiers and 88 policemen) and 683 injuries (453 civilians, 120 soldiers and 110 police). Government casualty tolls released for the month of October showed a total of 144 people were killed (88 civilians, 31 policemen and 25 soldiers), and another 264 were wounded, including 110 civilians, 92 policemen and 62 soldiers. At least 166 people were killed throughout Iraq in November 2012 according to government casualty tolls, and 208 died in December, including 55 policemen and 28 soldiers. During January 2013, at least 246 people were killed nationwide (including 30 policemen and 18 soldiers), while 735 others were injured. Government figures remained low in February 2013, with a total of 136 killed (88 civilians, 22 soldiers and 26 policemen) and 228 injured. There was a slight increase in March, when according to government sources 163 were killed and 256 injured nationwide, though officials in Baghdad stressed that these numbers did not include the Kurdish regions.

According to figures released by the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), April 2013 was the deadliest month in Iraq in over five years, with a total of 712 people were killed and 1,633 were wounded in acts of terrorism and violence.  Conditions continued to deteriorate in May when UNAMI reported a total of 1,045 Iraqis were killed and another 2,397 wounded in acts of terrorism and acts of violence, making it one of the deadliest months on record. The figures include 963 civilians and 181 civilian police killed, while 2,191 civilians and 359 civilian police were wounded. An additional 82 members of the Iraqi Security Forces were killed and 206 were injured.

title: Google Fit

text:
Google Fit is a health-tracking platform developed by Google for the Android operating system, Wear OS, and iOS. It is a single set of APIs that blends data from multiple apps and devices. Google Fit uses sensors in a user's activity tracker or mobile device to record physical fitness activities (such as walking, cycling, etc.), which are measured against the user's fitness goals to provide a comprehensive view of their fitness.

History
Google Fit was announced at the Google I/O conference on June 25, 2014. A software development kit for Google Fit was released on August 7, 2014. Fit launched to the public on October 28, 2014.

In August 2018, Google announced a revamp to its Android Fit platform which adds activity goals based on activity recommendations from the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization. The updates are meant to help Fit better provide metrics for activities other than walking and encourage users to engage in activities that will raise the heart rate without necessarily requiring a trip to the gym.

In April 2019, Google announced Google Fit for iOS offering similar experience to its Android counterpart. Google Fit for iOS used Apple Health, Nike Run Club, Headspace or connected device such as Apple Watch or Wear OS smartwatch connected to user device. In August 2019, Google announced dark theme, sleep insights and workout map feature availability.

In April 2020, Google redesigned Google Fit. In November 2020, Google Fit added iOS 14 widget.

In February 2021, Google announced a Pixel 5 exclusive feature for Google Fit, heart rate and respiratory measurement using Pixel 5's camera.

In June 2021, Google announced support for paced walking. Google announced unmentioned metrics in Google Fit to be deleted within 30 days.

Functionality
Google Fit provides a single set of APIs for apps and device manufacturers to store and access activity data from fitness apps and sensors on Android and other devices (like wearables, heart rate monitors or connected scales). Users can choose who their fitness data is shared with as well as delete this information at any time.

title: Narrows Center for the Arts

text:
The Narrows Center for the Arts is a non-profit art and musical performance venue in Fall River, Massachusetts, USA. It was founded in 1995 for the promotion and enjoyment of the visual and performing arts. It comprises two visual art galleries, a performance theater, and visual artist studios.

History and description

Supported by public donations, contributions from the Friends of the Narrows, and staffed solely by volunteers, the Narrows moved from its initial location in "the Narrows" section of Fall River, Massachusetts (hence the venue's name) to its current location on the third floor of the former American Printing Company mill building on Anawan Street overlooking the historic Battleship Cove complex on Mount Hope Bay.

The venue began as a side project at a small art gallery and is one of several groups that have made an effort, in cooperation with the Fall River Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, to increase awareness of the arts in the Fall River area, making use of vacant mill and warehouse spaces for studios and performance centers. A proposal is in place to revitalize the downtown area by the creation of an Arts District, and the venue was among a group of recipients of grants intended to increase awareness of local destinations and cultural events in the southeastern Massachusetts region.
A music venue in an open, high-ceiling early 20th century mill with tables and donated church pews surrounds a small stage, providing the setting for everything from folk to blues to rock.

Art

The Narrows brings to the city of Fall River an accessible variety of art created by local, regional, and national artisans.

Galleries

The venue contains two visual art galleries. Visitors enter through the Narrows’ main Gallery, a space with an impressive 210 linear feet of exhibition walls in an elegant architectural design. Morphing several times throughout the year, the main Gallery presents artwork of every medium. The Narrows Café Gallery occupies a linear wall facing Battleship Cove at the opposite end of the venue. This space is ideal for sequential unfolding of a theme and single artist shows. Having two galleries affords visitors and artists multiple opportunities to view and exhibit fine art. The Narrows presents museum quality nationally touring exhibitions in addition to the artwork of student, local, national and international artists. “The Art of the Brick” by Nathan Sawaya, “Pulp Function,” “Duende: The Art of Anthony Quinn,” “Jerry Garcia Art Tour” “Petroleum Paradox: For Better or for Worse?” and “The Artwork of Richie Havens” are examples of extraordinary past touring exhibitions the Narrows has hosted. Brian Fox (photography), in addition to many local artists, is another of many artists to present in this space. The Narrows also often exhibits artwork from local public and private high school students and works created by students from the nearby University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. Docent led tours and workshops for children are integral to visual arts programming at the Narrows. Since arts related activities are cost prohibitive to many, the Narrows provides free admission to the gallery during regular gallery hours. In doing so, the Narrows affords everyone a no-cost opportunity to view spectacular artwork. Concert-goers are also welcome to view the artwork on performance nights.

Art Community

In addition to the art galleries, the Narrows provides studio space to several in-house local artists, ranging from painters and photographers to knitters and guitar-makers. Many of these studios are occupied during musical events. Local artwork is for sale - including jewelry, sculpture, paintings, photography, etc. The Art Community is located on the second floor of the building.

Performing Arts

The Narrows provides access to local, national, and international performing artists across several genres of music.

Music

The venue has hosted local, national and international musical acts, including Duke Robillard, Eric Lindell, David Lindley, Johnny Winter, Eilen Jewell, Peter Wolf, Blue Öyster Cult, Susan Tedeschi, and local performers such as Roomful of Blues.

Comedy

The Narrows occasionally hosts comedy events, with national acts such as Paula Poundstone as well as local comedians.

Education

The Narrows Center offers educational opportunities to the public and to local school students including hands-on workshops and exhibit space.

Awards/Grants

The Narrows Center has been recognized by the following:
 Mass Cultural Council - Cultural Investment Funding (2014)
 Providence/Boston Phoenix - Best Folk Venue (2008, 2010, 2011, 2013)
 Rhode Island Monthly Magazine - Best Destination Concerts (2007)

title: Shangxinhe

text:
Shangxinhe () is a former town in the Jianye District of Nanjing, China located on the Jia River (), a tributary of the Yangtze River. The former Wang Hanzhou residence, Jianghan Hall (), Ancient Sun Palace (), and other ancient cultural sites are located in the area.

History

Ming dynasty
During the early Ming dynasty, Shangxinhe embarked on the creation of infrastructure to effectively move timber up the Yangtze River. In time, this led to a period of commercial prosperity for the town and region. The Huizhou Hall was built, and it became the site of the town's annual Grand Lantern event. Huizhou wood was shipped from Nanjing to places like Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei. The lively and prosperous port became the subject of scholarly and literary works. Shangxinhe novelist Ming Feng Meng was a successful Ming Dynasty novelist, with a widespread reputation for his foreboding stories.

Qing dynasty
The Shangxinhe timber trade reached its economic peak during the Qing dynasty. Markets for Qing Imperial wood had opened up in distant towns and cities along the Yangtze River, which were using it for myriad uses, e.g. construction and making furniture. Merchants operated and shipped lumber from Hunan, Dongting, and Poyang Lake. Shangxinhe wood suppliers had lucrative sales of Huizhou timber to Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, and other places. Fir and bamboo from Nanjing were also shipped. In White Next Suo Yan, In reference to Shangxinhe, Gan Hee (born 1798) described the town's annual grand lantern event, where the lanterns' lights glowed off of the Huizhou wood. It was described as a scene of "peace and prosperity". In the late Qing dynasty, up to 32 timber suppliers were shipping to Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan. As business expanded, Shangxinhe markets expanded into northern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When the railroad was introduced, it became a more convenient means of transportation, leading to a gradual decline in the Shangxinhe economy.

title: Fleringe Church

text:
Fleringe Church () is a medieval church in Fleringe on the Swedish island of Gotland. Although heavily damaged by fire in 1676, medieval mural fragments survive in the church, which also still has its medieval lychgate and preserved church stables. The church is associated with the Diocese of Visby of the Church of Sweden.

History and architecture
Fleringe Church is built of limestone and dates from the 13th century. The nave and choir are the oldest parts. Somewhat later during the same century the tower was added. The church has not been substantially altered since, but suffered damage in a heavy fire in 1676.

The church is located in a cemetery surrounded by a low wall in which a remaining medieval lychgate still sits. Outside, the church stables still stand, which is uncommon. The façade of the church itself has decorated Gothic portals. Of these, the one in the tower is the most richly decorated.

Inside, nothing remains of the medieval furnishings as they were destroyed in the 1676 fire. The main supporting pillar has a base taken from another, ruined, medieval church (in Gann, Gotland). This was probably done because the former base likewise had been damaged by fire. A few fragments of murals also survive, probably executed by the Master of the Passion of Christ (Passionsmästaren). The walls also have ornamental decoration from the late 16th century. The altarpiece is from 1701, the pulpit from 1726 and the pews also from the 18th century. The baptismal font carries the monogram of Christian IV of Denmark and originally belonged to the church of Visborg Castle.

title: William F. Coolbaugh

text:
William Findlay Coolbaugh (July 1, 1821 – November 13, 1877) was an American politician and banker from Pennsylvania. After working his way up the ranks at a Philadelphia dry goods house, he began his own store in Burlington, Iowa, in 1842. He became active in Iowa politics, serving in the Iowa Senate from 1854 to 1862. In 1855, he was the Democratic Party candidate to the United States Senate, but lost. In 1862, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to set up a banking house which became the Union National Bank of Chicago. Coolbaugh was also the father-in-law of Chief Justice of the United States Melville Fuller. Coolbaugh died of an apparent suicide in 1877.

Biography
William Findlay Coolbaugh was born in Pike County, Pennsylvania, on July 1, 1821, to Moses and Mary Coolbaugh. He was raised on the family farm and attended school in the winter. William Bross was one of Coolbaugh's teachers. When he was fifteen, three years after his last schooling, Coolbaugh left the family to work in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He took a position as an assistant porter in a dry goods house. When he was eighteen, he was promoted to confidential clerk. He continued to learn the trade and was eventually tasked with all Western operations of the dry goods house. In 1842, Coolbaugh left the house to set up his own operation in Burlington, Iowa. He sold goods for eight years, then left the business to become a banker. Co-founding Coolbaugh & Brooks, his bank was eventually merged into the Burlington Branch of the State Bank.

Coolbaugh was active in early Iowa politics as a Democrat. The First General Assembly named him the state's first Loan Agent in 1847. He was a delegate to the 1852 Democratic National Convention and voted for Stephen A. Douglas in all 49 ballots. In 1854, Coolbaugh was elected to the Iowa Senate, serving until 1862. Coolbaugh was the Democratic candidate for United States Senate in 1855, but was narrowly defeated by James Harlan. He chaired the Iowa delegation to the 1856 Democratic National Convention. Coolbaugh sided with the War Democrats upon the outbreak of the Civil War, supporting the Union.

In the spring of 1862, Coolbaugh moved to Chicago, Illinois, to found the W. F. Coolbaugh & Co. banking house. The bank represented the interests of the State Bank of Iowa, which Coolbaugh helped to found during his Iowa Senate tenure. In February 1865, the house was renamed the Union National Bank of Chicago; by 1867, it owned over $4.2 million in assets. he was president of the Chicago Clearing House upon its founding and was president of the Bankers' Association of the West and South. In 1868, he was named treasurer of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. He also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Board of Trade. His last political appointment was as a delegate to the 1870 Constitution of Illinois Convention. Coolbaugh died in Chicago on November 13, 1877, of an apparent suicide by gunshot in front of the Stephen A. Douglas Tomb. The Union National Bank merged into the First National Bank of Chicago in 1900.

Coolbaugh married Jane L. Brown in 1844. They had seven children, though only three survived to adulthood. In 1864, after the death of his first wife, Coolbaugh married Addie Reeve. They had three surviving children. Daughter Mary Ellen married Chief Justice of the United States Melville Fuller in 1866.

title: Michael Canavan (politician)

text:
Michael Canavan (born October 1924) is a former Irish nationalist business owner and politician.

Born in Derry, Canavan studied at St Columb's College in the city before entering business.  By the 1960s, he owned a chain of bookmakers, a salmon-processing factory and a pub in the city.  He was treasurer of the University for Derry Committee in 1965, and worked with John Hume to try to attract industry to the area.

An advocate of credit unions, Canavan founded the Derry Credit Union with Hume and chaired it from 1963 to 1966, following which he spent a year as a director of the Irish League of Credit Unions.  In 1968, he was elected as Chairman of the Derry Citizens' Action Committee, and was subsequently prominent in the Derry Citizens' Defence Association and chaired the Derry Citizens' Central Council.

Canavan entered electoral politics as campaign manager for Hume at the 1969 Northern Ireland general election.  Hume stood in Foyle as an independent and was elected.  The following year, Canavan was a founder member of Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), and served as its security spokesman for many years.

At the 1973 Northern Ireland Assembly election, he was elected for Londonderry, and he held his seat in 1975 on the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention.  However, he decided not to stand in the 1982 Assembly election, instead calling for the party to boycott to vote because there was no power-sharing in the proposed assembly.  He remained active in the SDLP for some time, and chaired Derry's civic committee during the mid-1980s.

Canavan turned 90 in October 2014. His brother Ivor was a prominent member of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland.
