title: Egyptian Streets

text:
Egyptian Streets is an English language independent news website and organization founded in July 2012 by Egyptian journalist Mohamed Khairat as a blog, but later developed into a media company in March 2014. It claims to be the number one English media outlet in Egypt by reach. In February 2015, more than 800,000 visited the website.

The website tries to bring attention to cultural, social and environmental issues in Egypt, such as sexual harassment and the campaigns aimed at stopping it, through collaborations with a number of non-governmental organizations and movements. Its readers mostly consist of both bilingual Egyptians and non-Egyptians who either live in Egypt or abroad.

Content
The stated goal of Egyptian Streets is to provide its readers with "an alternate depiction of events that occur on Egyptian and Middle Eastern streets" and particularly aims to cover a wide range of topics and stories related to Egypt in a neutral manner. It also managed to establish a social platform to discuss the various articles it publishes. Some of the issues it brought up are considered controversial and sensitive topics in Egypt and garnered significant attention from the readers, such as the debate of whether women in hijab should be banned from entering bars or not. Egyptian Streets works to tackle even more challenging problems in Egyptian society such as sexual harassment and mass sexual assault and has a special coverage of protest movements, most notably the 2012–13 protests against the Muslim Brotherhood.

In June 2014, Egyptian Streets published an article about a video that appeared on YouTube depicting a naked and injured woman who was sexually assaulted in Cairo's Tahrir Square when thousands took to there to celebrate President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's inauguration. Various media organizations and news networks such as The Huffington Post, La Stampa, Spiegel Online and Daily Mirror among others have cited this article, along with several other publications about sexual harassment and issues related to women in Egypt, including an article about an iPhone video called "Creepers on the Bridge" that portrays the challenges a woman faces while walking the streets of Egypt.

In March 2017, Egyptian Streets secured an investment round from and partnered with Speakol, a smart ads platform with more than 600 clients that employs artificial intelligence to provide users with tailored ads.

In 2020, Egyptian Streets coverage focused heavily on the women's movement, which included in-depth coverage of the ABZ case, the Fairmont Nile City hotel gang rape case, and other coverage of sexual violence and women's rights in Egypt. Egyptian Streets also launched its mobile application in November 2020, available on iOS devices and Android devices.

Collaborations
Egyptian Streets has collaborated with or supported a number of non-governmental organizations and grassroots movements in order to raise awareness and to promote social change and actions on a variety of issues, including the environment (Earth Hour being an example), sexual harassment, animal rights, education, poverty and more.

It managed to engage in a media partnership with Egypt's first Corporate Travel Market exhibition and participated with a number of local and international organizations operating in Egypt in order to promote them, including AIESEC, the United Nations Development Programme, which launched Get Online Week in Egypt, as well as Cairo's Goethe-Institut to promote their program for Egypt's educational system. It has also promoted campaigns aimed at stopping sexual violence against women, such as those of Dignity Without Borders and Heya, an initiative that is mainly aimed at empowering the role of Egypt's women in society.

Audience
Its audience primarily consists of English-speaking Egyptians, some of whom live abroad, as well as non-Egyptians from countries such as the United States and Australia among others, who are either interested in the cultural and touristic aspects of Egypt or reside in the country. 41% of the readers are aged between 18 and 34 and they also consist of both genders, with 51% of them being male and 49% female.

Egyptian Streets claims to be the number one independent English media outlet in Egypt by reach, with an average number of 600,000 monthly visitors. The number reached more than 800,000 in February 2015.

Recognition
In January 2018, Egyptian Streets' founders Mohamed Khairat and Mostafa Amin were selected among Forbes Europe 30 Under 30 in Media & Marketing for "defining and driving the world of news and content". In March 2018, Khairat and Amin were also named in the first ever Arab 30 Under 30 list by Forbes Middle East for innovation and transformation of the rules of business.

title: Iris serotina

text:
Iris serotina is a species in the genus Iris, it is also in the subgenus Xiphium. It is a bulbous perennial from southern Europe, found in Spain and Morocco.

Description
Iris serotina grows to a maximum height of  tall and the narrow leaves are 2–6 mm wide and grow between  tall. They appear in the autumn, but then fade before flowering.

It normally has 2 - 3 flowers per stem, and generally blooms in late July, or August.

Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. It has blue-violet flowers, the petals are veined with a deeper violet colour, and the falls are marked with a yellow patch.

Its seeds are small, yellow and semi-circular.

Taxonomy
The specific epithet serotina, refers to the Latin word, 'serotina' meaning late in flowering.

In 1861, Heinrich Moritz Willkomm described Iris serotina after seeing plants from Province of Jaén (Spain). Originally, he called it Iris filifolia, but this was later corrected to Iris serotina. Then published in 'Prodromus Florae Hispanicae' Vol.1 in 1861. It was later illustrated in Curtis's Botanical Magazine No.733 in 1977.

Iris serotina is an accepted name by the RHS, and it was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 4 April 2003, then updated on 3 December 2004.

Distribution and habitat
Iris serotina is native to temperate areas of Europe.

Range
Originally found in South eastern Spain. It has been found in Cuenca, Jaen and in the Province of Granada. It also has been found in Rif in Morocco.

Habitat
It grows on rocks, on the shadow side of the mountains.

Conservation
It is classed as 'Endangered', and was on the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants in Spain.

Cultivation
It is best grown in a bulb frame or a very sheltered dry border, in the UK.

Toxicity
Like many other irises, most parts of the plant are poisonous (rhizome and leaves), if mistakenly ingested can cause stomach pains and vomiting. Also handling the plant may cause a skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

It is a bulbous perennial from North Africa and Europe. It has thin leaves, summer flowers in shades of red-purple.

Description
It has 3 mm wide leaves, which appear in the autumn.
It normally reaches a height of 10-16 inches (or 25–40 cm). But can reach up to 45 cm tall.
It flowers between March and June. Normally more than 2 flowers per stem. When the flowering shoot comes out of the ground it is covered in a purple or white blotched sheath. These then open up to revel red-purple flowers with orange spots, or yellow stripe on the falls.

Biochemistry
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings. It has a chromosome count: 2n=32.

Taxonomy
Its name means 'thread-leaved iris'.

In Gibraltar, it is also known as the 'Narrow-leaved Purple Iris'.

It is often mistakenly called 'Spanish Iris'. The Spanish Iris is Iris xiphium.

It was recorded in the Catalogue of Life in 2011, and it was verified by United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service on 4 April 2003, and updated on 14 November 2005.

Distribution and habitat
It is native to temperate regions of North Africa and Europe.

Range
It was found originally on Sierra de Mijas, and Sierra Bermeja in Spain, at  above sea level.

It is found within Africa, in Morocco, (near Tangier,) and within Europe, in Southwestern Spain, and in Gibraltar.

Habitat
Iris filifolia likes to grow in sandy areas.

title: South African Naval College

text:
The South African Naval College provides naval officer training to the South African Navy and is one of three officer training institutions within the South African National Defence Force, the equivalent of the Air Force Gymnasium and the Army Gymnasium

History

SATS General Botha
HMS Thames was a Mersey-class cruiser launched in 1885 for the Royal Navy. Thomas Benjamin Frederick Davis was a wealthy businessman, yachtsman and philanthropist. In 1920 Davis bought the Thames from the British Admiralty and sent her to South Africa. He donated the ship to the South African government and stipulated that it had to be used for the full-time training of boys for careers at sea. It was renamed TS (training ship) General Botha in honour of the South African prime minister. She was moored in Simon's Bay, outside the naval dockyard.

On 15 March 1922 the first intake of seventy five boys joined ship in Simon's Bay. General Botha's wife was supposed to conduct the official christening, but she was feeling poorly, with the result that Mrs Isie Smuts had to officiate on 1 April 1922. The TS General Botha remained in Simon's Bay for the next twenty years, during which 1,276 cadets received their training. The presence of German submarines in the southern oceans in 1942 caused the naval authorities to become concerned for the safety of the cadets living on board the TS General Botha. They were therefore moved up to Red Hill, but still went down to the ship for their daily training. At the end of the year the TS General Botha was commandeered by the navy and berthed in the dockyard for the rest of the war.

After the war it was found that the TS General Botha was beyond economical repair. On 13 May 1947 she was towed into False Bay to a position nine nautical miles ESE of the Roman Rock lighthouse and sunk by gunfire from Scala battery.

The South African Nautical College General Botha
At the end of April 1948 the cadets were moved to the former SAAF crash boat station at Gordons Bay. The name of the establishment was changed to The South African Nautical College General Botha and the new Captain-Superintendent was Captain G V Legassick RNR. For the next 10 years General Botha prospered. A new engineering course was introduced as well. Then in 1958 the government decided to place the establishment under the control of the South African Navy.

South African Naval College
Captain Legassick was replaced with Commander SC Biermann, on whom rested the unenviable job of combining the courses for the Merchant Marine and the Navy, while remaining the commanding officer of the Naval Gymnasium in Saldanha. This difficult relationship between the two services continued until 1966, when the new South African Merchant Navy Academy was established at Granger Bay.

title: Snap the Whip

text:
Snap the Whip is an 1872 oil painting by the American artist Winslow Homer. It depicts a group of children playing crack the whip in a field in front of a small red schoolhouse. With more of America's population moving to cities, the portrait depicts the simplicity of rural agrarian life that Americans were beginning to leave behind in the post-Civil War era, evoking a mood of nostalgia.

Homer spent several summers in New York's Hudson Valley, and is said to have been inspired to paint this scene by local boys playing at the Hurley schoolhouse.

Homer painted a second version, of similar date, which is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. In this, he retains the schoolhouse but the background hillscape is removed, making the location less regionally specific.

title: Roger Evernden

text:
Roger Evernden (born ca. 1954) is a British enterprise architect, musician, composer, writer and speaker.

As an enterprise architect he is a consultant at the Cutter Consortium, known for his contributions to Enterprise Architecture and as author of the Information FrameWork, an enterprise architecture framework presented in 1996 as more generic alternative to the Zachman Framework.

As a musician and composer he is best known for his solo piano albums – Improvation (2014), The Journey We All Make (2016), The Innocence of Spring (2018), Nocturnes (2019), The Unfolding Of Wings (2020), Rainbows Of Hope (2020), and S L O W - Calm Piano for Mindful Yoga, Relaxation and Meditation (2020).

As a speaker he is known for his talks on enterprise architecture, and as a TEDx speaker.

Biography
Evernden received his BA in History at the Lancaster University in 1975, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education at the Goldsmiths' College of the University of London in 1977.

Evernden started his career as history teacher in London in 1977. In 1980 he started working in IT as analyst and programmer, and worked his way up from consultant and application developer to enterprise architect working for companies as Legal & General, IBM, Westpac and smaller companies. From 2007 to 2011 he was Enterprise Domain Architect and later Enterprise Architect at Lloyds Bank. Since 2011 he is Senior Consultant with  Cutter Consortium's Business & Enterprise Architecture practice,

Work as an Enterprise Architect

Information FrameWork (IFW)
In the late 1980s Evernden developed Information FrameWork (IFW) to describe an enterprise architect initiative at Westpac. This was later described in an IBM Systems Journal article, published in 1996. The Westpac project – known internally as CS90, or Core Systems for the 1990s – was a prototype for using enterprise architecture to create adaptive organizations or adaptive systems. The Westpac experience was described by Stephan H. Haeckel – an American management theorist and former director of Strategic Studies at IBM’s Advanced Business Institute – who developed the idea of the sense-and-respond organization as an adaptive enterprise.

The Information FrameWork (IFW) was presented in 1996 as framework for Information management, and more generic alternative to the Zachman Framework. Evernden (1996) explained:
the objectives and scope of IFW are broader than that of the original Zachman framework. IFW is described and compared with the original Zachman structure, showing the evolution, changes, and the rationale behind the changes based on experiences from within the financial services industry.
In his 1996 paper Evernden also showed "how the structure of IFW has been populated by industry-wide models and supported by a distinctive methodology. A detailed discussion of each of the six dimensions of the IFW architecture is presented."

Contributions to Enterprise Architecture
Evernden has promoted the need for Architectural Thinking, the use of a meta-framework in Enterprise Architecture, and for explaining the Levels of Architectural Understanding.

Other works
Evernden is co-author, with Elaine Evernden, of Information First: Integrating Knowledge and Information Architecture for Business Advantage, which was first published in 2003, expanding the concepts of Information FrameWork (IFW). Information First outlines an approach to enterprise architecture that uses eight factors common to all enterprise architecture frameworks that can be combined to create architectural tools for managing enterprise and business transformation. A second edition was published in 2015 with the title: Enterprise Architecture – the Eight Fundamental Factors.

This book deals with two important topics for enterprise management: the architecture of an enterprise and the challenge of dealing with information.

"Roger and Elaine Evernden argue that in order to address that challenge, organizations must treat information as a business resource, much like capital or labor. They require expertise and strategic thinking to use that resource as part of a business strategy, and to leverage its potential. More than just data to be used in operative processes, information must be seen as the essence of all decision-making and knowledge-building efforts in the enterprise, something that must be adapted to the people using it and interacting with it."

Research at the Cranfield School of Management also suggested that there are multiple dimensions to all architecture frameworks. Working with more than two or three dimensions at a time is challenging, and potentially confusing. Analysis is therefore most constructive when any two of these dimensions are viewed together in a matrix.

In 2008, at the height of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, he spoke about how enterprise architecture could be used to weather unpredictable events. In 2011 he described the architectural approach to create a single integrated IT platform from two heritage banking systems following the Lloyds TSB acquisition of HBOS to form Lloyds Banking Group January 2009.

In 2017 he presented a case study at Vesta Corporation describing a combination of online training and webinars in a nine-month program to build the capabilities and confidence of their enterprise architecture team.

In a keynote presentation for the National Conference on Advances in Enterprise Architecture (NCAEA 2017) he described changes required by architecture frameworks in response to an increasingly connected, digital world. He said: "Although our discipline will probably continue to be known as “enterprise” architecture, increasingly it will cover the architecture of any human-designed system – which includes all social, political, economic, environmental, and cultural organisms – in addition to the domains we currently expect to find in “enterprise” architecture. Enterprises, and governments, will need to  re-think governance of their EA."

title: Caroline Charles

text:
Caroline Mary Charles  (born 18 May 1942) is a British fashion designer.

Early life and education
Caroline Mary Charles was born on 18 May 1942, in Cairo, Egypt to British parents, Noel St. John Fairhurst and Helen T. Williams. From a young age she was interested in fashion. She left school at sixteen and studied locally at Swindon Art School from 1958–60.

Career
Charles did an apprenticeship at Michael Sherard's couture house, after which she worked with Mary Quant, and then worked for a year with the photographer Tony Rawlinson.

She started her Caroline Charles label in 1963, aged 21. Charles was one of the leading designers in the explosion of demand in the US during the 1960s for clothes from young British designers. She travelled widely with her Mod designs, visiting 36 cities and arranging fashion and pop shows, and appearing on television in the US and the UK, including the 23 November 1964 episode of To Tell the Truth, in which she was the person whom the celebrity panelists were attempting to identify. Two of the four panelists correctly selected Charles.

Her customers have included Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr, for both of whom she designed clothes, Marianne Faithfull, Diana, Princess of Wales, Cilla Black, Barbra Streisand, Cherie Blair, Anne Robinson, Helena Kennedy and Lesley Garrett. The actress Emma Thompson wore a green-beaded bodice and wide trousers by Caroline Charles, when receiving her Oscar for the 1992 film Howards End.

According to The Guardian, "The beautiful classic cut, high standard of manufacture and quality fabrics are the foundations upon which the label was built". Hilary Alexander, writing in The Daily Telegraph, called her "the thinking woman's designer". Charles was awarded an OBE in June 2002. In 2012, her memoirs, Caroline Charles – 50 years in fashion were published.

As of 2017, the Caroline Charles label has stores in London, Cheltenham, Tunbridge Wells, Wilmslow and Exeter.

Personal life
Charles lives in Knightsbridge, London. She was married to environmentalist Malcolm Valentine from 1960 until his death in 2016. They had a daughter and a son, Kate and Alex.

title: Riddles of the Sphinx

text:
Riddles of the Sphinx is a 1977 British experimental drama film written, directed and produced by Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen and starring Dinah Stabb, Merdelle Jordine and Riannon Tise.

Plot
The film consists of seven parts. The majority of the film focuses on part four which consists of 13 scenes, which are shot in long, continuous 360-degree pans of middle-class spaces occupied and encountered by the main character, Louise. Louise is dealing with a change in her lifestyle in which she must learn to negotiate domestic life and motherhood. This is occasionally interrupted by sequences of Mulvey talking to the camera, recounting the myth of Oedipus encountering the Sphinx.

Background
A feminist experimental film, Riddles of the Sphinx was partly inspired by Mulvey's work on feminist film theory of scopophilia and the male gaze, particularly her influential 1975 essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema. As she wrote that classical Hollywood cinema favoured the male spectator and his desire to gaze at women, Mulvey and Wollen's film is "an attempt to merge modernist forms with a narrative exploring feminism and psychoanalytical theory". At the time, much of British experimental and avant-garde film was anti-narrative, and so the film is part of a movement that set out to explore and create a feminist language for cinema outside of traditional narrative norms.

In her writing on feminist film theory, Mulvey has argued that, if the dominant cinema produces pleasure through scopophilia which favours the male gaze and festishization of woman as object, then alternative versions of cinema need to construct different forms of pleasure based on psychic relations that adopt a feminist perspective. As such, the lack of exposition, concentration on the gender politics of domestic life, and the 360-degree pans which move slowly and without focus on the women characters in Riddles of the Sphinx, represent the antithesis of the cinematic pleasure seen in the dominant cinematic styles of the time. Frequently, a woman's voice is heard but not identifiable as particular character, further emphasizing "the lost discourse of woman's unconscious". Rather than using a conventional voice-over, a multitude of voices are heard, Louise and her various friends and co-workers, which according to Mulvey is intended to as "a constant return to woman, not indeed as a visual image, but as a subject of inquiry, a content which cannot be considered within the aesthetic lines laid down by traditional cinematic practice."

Production

Music
The electronic score is from Mike Ratledge of Soft Machine.

Critical reception
The BFI comments, "visually accomplished and intellectually rigorous Riddles of the Sphinx is one of the most important avant-garde films to have emerged from Britain during the 1970s".

According to Maggie Humm in Feminism and Film, "Althusser's theory (the Ideological State Apparatus (ISA)) helped Mulvey clarify the systematic mechanisms by which cinematic desires might function, mechanisms which she tried to deconstruct with Brechtian techniques in her own films, particularly Riddles of the Sphinx."

Patricia Erens in Issues in Feminist Film Criticism notes that Riddles of the Sphinx attempts to exhume a female voice that has been repressed by patriarchy, but which has nevertheless remained intact for thousands of years at some unconscious level."

title: Edward Kirwan

text:
Edward Dominick Geoffrey Martin Kirwan (5 August 1814 – 27 June 1890) was an English clergyman, author and cricketer who played in first-class cricket matches for Cambridge University between 1834 and 1837. He was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and died at Dover, Kent.

As a cricketer, Kirwan played in six Cambridge matches as a batsman; there is no record that he bowled. He was not notably successful in any of his first-class matches and his highest score in nine innings was just 15; he was not selected for the University Match against Oxford University in any of his Cambridge seasons. Kirwan's younger brother, John, was very much more successful in his cricket career and played alongside him in a few Cambridge games from 1836. In the first of the matches in which both Kirwans appeared, John Kirwan took 15 wickets against Cambridge Town Club.

Career outside cricket
Educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge, Kirwan was a Fellow of King's from 1837 to 1854. He was ordained as a Church of England priest after graduation and from 1854 to 1876 he was vicar of Wootton Wawen in Warwickshire. He retired to Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. He translated Spanish historical works into English.

title: Nonning

text:
Nonning or Nonning Station is both a pastoral lease and a formal bounded locality in South Australia. The property operates as a sheep station; the name and boundaries of the formal locality were created on 26 April 2013 for the long established local name.

It is situated approximately  north of Kimba and  west of Iron Knob. The property is at the eastern end of the Gawler Range and is bounded to the north by Beacon Hill Station, to the west by Kolendo and Mount Ive, to the south by Uno and to the east by Siam Station.

The traditional owners of the Gawler Ranges are the Gugada people.

A lease in the area was taken up by Charles Ryan in 1864. Nonning was established by C. H. Leycester in 1864. The lease changed hands many times in the 1860s. In 1868 the property occupied an area of  and was equipped with wells and dams and stocked with over 7,000 sheep. Later, Nonning was combined with Kolendo and Coralbignie in the late 1860s with Nonning as the head station. At one stage some 90,000 head of sheep were shorn at Nonning. The lease expired in 1888.

Rentals increased in the 1890s and many pastoralists deserted their runs. Eventually rentals were decreased again and McTaggart, Smith and Gooch acquired the lease for Nonning in 1906, and by 1915 McTaggart was the sole owner.

Dorper sheep had been introduced to a merino base in 2003. In 2010 the  property was awarded organic status. The McTaggart family completed their last shearing in early 2009 and had started running sheep for the production of meat instead of wool. Nonning was supporting about a flock of 30,000 sheep.

Nonning Post Office opened in 1867; its closure date is unknown. A primary school also formerly existed at Nonning.

Nonning hosts the annual Nonning Gymkhana, organised by the Gawler Ranges Progress Association, to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

The Coralbignie (Houlderoo) Rocks, located at the southern end of the Nonning locality, are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register as a designated place of geological significance.

title: Tessa Hughes-Freeland

text:
Tessa Hughes-Freeland is a British-born experimental film maker, writer living in New York City. Her films have screened internationally in North America, Europe and Australia and in prominent museums and galleries, including the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA); the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York; and the KW Institute of Contemporary Art in Berlin. She has collaborated on live multi-media projects with musicians like John Zorn and J. G. Thirlwell. She and Ela Troyano co-founded the New York Film Festival Downtown in 1984 and served as its co-directors until 1990. Hughes-Freeland later served as President of the Board of Directors of the Film-Makers Co-Operative in New York City from 1998-2001. She has published articles in numerous books, including “Naked Lens: Beat Cinema” and “No Focus: Punk Film,” and in periodicals including PAPER Magazine, Filmmaker magazine, GQ, the East Village Eye, and Film Threat.

Hughes-Freeland works in a variety of formats and mediums, and her films have been shown in diverse venues, ranging from internationally prominent museums to seedy bars in gritty neighborhoods. Her work frequently confronts conventional perceptions of reality in daring and sometimes provocative ways. Hughes-Freeland's website describes her work as "confrontational, transgressive, provocative and poetic". The critic Jack Sargeant wrote that Hughes-Freeland "approaches filmmaking in a multiplicity of styles, ranging from classic narrative to experimental 'performances' and even a documentary."

Hughes-Freeland was part of the No Wave Cinema movement that began in the mid-1970s on New York City's Lower East Side, which included Scott B and Beth B, Richard Kern, Nick Zedd, Jim Jarmusch, Tom DiCillo, Steve Buscemi, and Vincent Gallo. In the 1980s, this morphed into the Cinema of Transgression, in which she and other Lower East Side artists and filmmakers created no-budget films and art that contravened prevailing conventions of American society and challenged established, "correct" cultural norms. Among the earliest admirers of her work were the controversial, celebrated late artist and activist David Wojnarowicz, who bought her a super 8 camera for her filmmaking, and the writer, critic and curator Carlo McCormick, whom she later married.

Career
After earning a BA in Art History from University College London and an MA in Cinema Studies from New York University, Hughes-Freeland wrote a stream of articles on the burgeoning avant-garde underground film scene in the East Village, Manhattan in the early to mid-1980s in publications like PAPER Magazine, the East Village Eye and the Underground Film Bulletin. She also organized numerous film nights at local clubs and bars in lower Manhattan like Danceteria and the Reel Club at Club 57, showings that culminated in the creation of the annual New York Film Festival Downtown in 1984. Together with Ela Troyano, Hughes-Freeland founded and ran the annual Festival from 1984 to 1990.

A prolific filmmaker, Hughes-Freeland often screened her own films in the 1980s at nightlife venues and in emerging East Village art galleries, such as her 1982 film, "Baby Doll," which documented the seedy urban demi-monde of strippers working at the Baby Doll Lounge in Tribeca in lower Manhattan. The Cinéma vérité soundtrack consists of real-life conversations between the go-go dancers, and the film devotes considerable footage to the dancers' feet. The Village Voice noted that Hughes-Freeland was one of about a dozen leading figures in New York's underground film movement, and described Baby Doll as depicting the "systemic misogyny destroying the go-go club scene in New York" in the 1980s. Hughes-Freeland's 1985 film, "Rhonda Goes to Hollywood," a docufiction featuring the artist Rhonda Zwillinger, was exhibited as part of an installation in the Gracie Mansion Gallery in New York.
In 1985 Hughes-Freeland's husband Carlo McCormick, who had just written a eulogy entitled "East Village R.I.P." that punctuated the decline of the early 1980s lower Manhattan cultural scene, was invited to curate a gallery exhibition in Richmond, Virginia. The show evolved into what became a weekend-long installation art show in which artists competed to create shocking murals on the gallery walls. Hughes-Freeland filmed the installation, which featured artists including Marilyn Minter, Luis Frangella, James Romberger, Marguerite Van Cook and Wojnarowicz. The management of the gallery, whose interior decoration included polished floors and stained glass windows, supplied the artists with beer and overnight accommodations, but was apparently unaware of the installation's transgressive nature. Some of the artists were allegedly using LSD and applying garish colours and shocking images straight onto the gallery walls. The separate scenes were joined together by profanities applied over the results and decorative additions by Frangella. Gallery management was later said to have been pleased to see the artists go. In 1992 Hughes-Freeland worked in collaboration with Annabelle Davies to create a film called "Dirty" based on Georges Bataille's erotic novella Blue of Noon, whose plot touches upon controversial topics like incest and necrophilia. Primarily a filmmaker and writer, Hughes-Freeland has occasionally worked as an actor, appearing in the 1993 film "Red Spirit Lake," whose opening scene depicts sexual imagery and graphic horror, a scene in which Hughes-Freeland does not appear. The director of the movie, Charles Pinion, cast a number of people associated with the Cinema of Transgression movement like Richard Kern and Hughes-Freeland. In the following year, she made Nymphomania, a film whose mythology-inspired plot depicts a wood nymph disrobing whilst a voyeuristic satyr pleasures himself, then forces himself upon the nymph, impaling her upon his barbed phallus. According to Variant.org, "It is all carried off with an understandably ironic humour. The film is an interesting development, focusing more on mythology than the contemporary. The return to unreconstructed Romanticism has been influential – Nymphomania is a precursor to the use of such imagery by art world favourite Matthew Barney." Hughes-Freeland has worked collaboratively with musicians like John Zorn and J. G. Thirlwell on live multiple projections. One project with Zorn and Troyano, “Playboy Voodoo,” was performed at the Whitney Museum of American Art as part of the 1996 “No Wave Cinema” exhibition. The following year, Hughes-Freeland presented an expanded cinema performance with Troyano for Zorn's composition “Elegy” as part of Zorn's Tzadik record label European tour. She and Troyano presented an expanded cinema performance with Zorn's “Godard” for Roulette TV in 2002.

In 2001, Hughes-Freeland was named a Fellow of the New York Foundation for the Arts. She was one of a handful of filmmakers along with David Wojnarowicz, Richard Kern and others whose work was featured in “You Killed Me First: The Cinema of Transgression,” a significant show in 2012 at the KW Institute of Contemporary Art in Berlin. In the spring of 2018, several of Hughes-Freeland's films were shown at the [Museum of Modern Art] as “Transgressive Shorts, 1979-1994”, part of its exhibition, “Club 57: Film, Performance, and Art in the East Village, 1978–1983.” Hughes-Freeland works shown at the MOMA exhibition included “Baby Doll,” “Play Boy,” “Rat Trap” (co-directed with Tommy Turner), “Nymphomania” (co-directed with Holly Adams), “Jane Gone,” and “Playboy Voodoo” (co-directed with Troyano).

Hughes-Freeland has been married to the writer, critic and curator Carlo McCormick since 1985. They live in Manhattan's East Village, where they raised their son.

title: W. H. Elliott

text:
The Reverend Canon Wallace Harold Elliott (1884 - 1957) was a Church of England clergyman and Precentor of the Chapels Royal, and a broadcaster on religious matters for the BBC, known as "the Radio Chaplain".

Early life and education
Elliott was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he was Colquitt Exhibitioner, and took a 2nd-class BA in Theology in 1906, being promoted to MA in 1910. He subsequently studied at Ripon College Cuddesdon, outside Oxford.

Career
Being ordained deacon in 1907 and priest in 1908, Elliott was curate at Guisborough, North Yorkshire from 1907 to 1909, before being appointed Church of England Men's Society organizing secretary for the Northern Provinces. From 1909 he was also curate at Leeds. In 1918 he became vicar of Holy Trinity, Folkestone, "a carpeted and golden edifice built in 1868 for the West End of Folkestone", remaining there until 1928; from 1924 to 1928 he was also a prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral. His service as chaplain to the King began in 1926, and he was a canon of St Paul's Cathedral, London from 1928. From 1930 to 1941, Elliott was vicar of St Michael's church, Chester Square, in London's Belgravia district. Along with serving as Precentor of the Chapels Royal from 1941 to 1946, he was sub-dean from 1942 to 1948, when he retired. He was also Deputy Clerk of the Closet and Sub-Almoner to the King from 1941 to 1948, and Domestic Chaplain to the King from 1942 to 1948.

Alongside his broadcasting for the BBC, Elliott was also a writer. He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 26 March 1942. Elliott persuaded Plomley to let him write his own script which Plomley regretted as the script turned out to be a kind of sermon.

Personal life
Elliott married Edith Plaistow Kilburn; their son was the theatre and television director Michael Elliott.

title: Bell Game

text:
The Bell Game is an annual football contest between two high schools in Pueblo, Colorado, USA: Centennial High School and Central High School. They have been playing each other since Thanksgiving Day 1892 in what is believed to be the oldest ongoing American football rivalry for high school teams west of the Mississippi River and the highest annual attendance for a high school sports event in Colorado, typically drawing 15,000 fans to Pueblo's Dutch Clark Stadium. The rivalry is sometimes referred to as the "One Hundred Year War". Since 1950, the teams have played for ownership of a railroad bell mounted upon a wheeled cart, along with the right to paint the cart the winning school's colors and keep the bell in the winning school for sporting events and school activities.  In years where the bell is transferred from one school to the other, the senior cheerleaders from the losing school wheel the bell to midfield at the conclusion of the game where it is handed over to the senior cheerleaders and players from the victorious school.  The bell's cart is repainted in the winning school's colors, with one small area retaining the color from the other school to symbolize the rivalry. There are also bell games in California (Linked Above), and in Virginia between Justice High School and Falls Church High School

Decade-by-decade victories for each school:

As of the 2023 game, in the all-time series Central has 61 wins, Centennial has 53 wins, and the teams have tied 9 times.

In 1895 and 1896, Centennial and Central combined to form a single Pueblo high school team.

Centennial did not field a team in the 1901 or 1902 seasons, nor from 1913 to 1919.

The series was temporarily suspended after the 1907 game ended in a brawl between the two teams and their respective fan bases.

In many years the two teams would play twice each season: a regular season game, and then a special Thanksgiving Day game if neither team was playing in the state playoffs. The Thanksgiving Day games ended after the 1950 season.

title: Meekoceras

text:
Meekoceras is a genus of ceratitid ammonites with a discoidal shell that lived during the Early Triassic Epoch.

Description
Meekoceras is characterized by a compressed, discoidal, evolute or involute shell with flattened sides and narrow, flattened or rounded venter that is without keels or furrows. The surface is smooth or with lateral folds, but no tubercles, spines, or spiral ridges. Umbilicus variable, body chamber short. Sutures ceratitic with smooth rounded saddles and serrated lobes.

Taxonomic position
Smith (1932) and Arkell et al. (1957) included Meekoceras in the Meekoceratidae, which was named to contain the genus. Different approaches were made regarding the next taxonomic level. Arkell, et al. (1957) includes Meekoceratidae in the Noritacdeae while Smith (1932) included them in the Prolecanitoidea.

Wyoningites and Svalbardiceras are related genera.

title: Lis Rhodes

text:
Lis Rhodes (born 1942) is a British artist and feminist filmmaker, known for her density, concentration, and poeticism in her visual works. She has been active in the UK since the early 1970s.

Early life and education
Rhodes was brought up in West England, was educated at North East London Polytechnic, and studied Film and Television at the Royal College of Art.

Career
Since the early 1970s, Rhodes has created radical and controversial art that challenges her viewers to question perspective of film through her work. She wanted her audience to "reconsider film as a medium of communication and presentation of image, language and sound."

She was cinema curator at the London Film-Makers' Co-op from 1975 to 1976. In 1979, Rhodes co-founded the feminist film distribution network, Circles. She was a member of the exhibition committee for the 1979 Arts Council Film on Film event, and international retrospective of avant-garde cinema. Rhodes was Arts Advisor to the Greater London Council from 1982 to 1985, and since 1978 has lectured part-time at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London.

One key innovative piece Rhodes created is Light Music (1975), which was exhibited at the Tate Modern from July 2012 – January 2013. Tate deemed it, "An iconic work of expanded cinema that created a more central and participatory role for the viewer within a dynamic, immersive environment". Her work was also included in the 2007 exhibition WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution.

In 2012, Rhodes' solo exhibition, Dissonance and Disturbance was held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. The ICA noted that Rhodes "examines the relationships in her work - from film, composition and writing - to the notation of sound and image, and the language of political dissent."

According to Rhodes, "The view through the lens may be blurred or defined – focused or unfocusfocused or unfocused – depending on what you think you know; what you imagine you see; what you learn to look for: what you are told is visible". Rhodes does not view her art as an isolated practice, but rather as a social function. She lives and works in London.

Rhodes won the Freelands Award in 2017. In 2018, Rhodes' work was included in the Courtisane Film Festival in Ghent, Belgium as part of a focus on women filmmakers that curators, Mónica Savirón and María Palacios Cruz, felt have been overlooked. In October 2022, a group of artists plan to present Liquid Architecture x Light at the ACMI's Gallery 3 inspired by Rhode's 1975 Light Music in conjunction with the exhibit, Light: Works from Tate’s Collection, being held at Melbourne's ACMI.

title: Alan Bassham

text:
Alan John Bassham (3 October 1933 – 1982) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Brentford as a right back.

Club career

Brentford
Bassham began his career in the youth team at Second Division club Brentford as an inside or outside forward and was developed into a right half. He turned professional in October 1951 and was further developed into a full back, but he had to wait nearly two years to make his senior debut, which came in a 1–1 draw with Stoke City on 19 August 1953. After Brentford's relegation to the Third Division South for the 1954–55 season, Bassham made a minor breakthrough into the team and made 17 appearances. He gradually lost his place and played mostly for the reserves during his final years with the club. Bassham made 45 appearances during his time with Brentford and was given a free transfer in May 1959.

Non-League football
After his release, Bassham joined Kent League club Folkestone Town.

International career
Bassham won two caps for England Schoolboys at international level.

title: Flottarkärlek

text:
"Flottarkärlek" is a song written by Hugo Lindh, and performed live by Gösta "Snoddas" Nordgren on Saturday, 26 January 1952 in Swedish radio program Karusellen, and the song became a major hit in Sweden. The song is also known as "Haderian hadera", the opening lines of the refrain, but during the original live radio performance, these word don't appear. Instead, they appeared when the song was recorded for grammophone record for first time.

The song was originally recorded in 1948 by Harry Brandelius, Sölve Strand and Valle Söderlund, but those versions became no major success.

Povel Ramel recorded a parody version of the song, Snodderian, snoddera.

Monotones orkester from Eskilstuna, led by Åke Lindmark, recorded the song on the 1975 album Sköna Låtar. Kinels also recorded their own version of the song.

Roffe Wikström has also recorded a version, on the 2001 album Allting förändras.

title: Giovanni Sarnelli

text:
Giovanni Sarnelli (23 June 1714 in Naples – 1793 in Naples) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque style. He was one of at least four brothers: including Antonio (died 1800), Gennaro, and Giuseppe, trained in the studio of Paolo de Matteis, and active painting mainly sacred subjects in Campania, Italy. Their father had been an army officer for the Royal administration. One of Giovanni's brothers, Ferdinando, was a secretary of the Banco di San Giacomo. The biographer Bernardo De Dominici mainly recalled Gennaro, but mentioned that Antonio and Giovanni, then still alive were excellent pupils of Matteis.

Antonio worked with Giovanni in frescoes for Palazzo Partanna, now home to the Industrial Union of Naples. Giovanni also painted a Consecration of the Virgin (1766) for the church of Santa Anna at Sessa Aurunca. He also painted Scenes of the Life of Beato Franco (1751), St Januarius and St Irene and St Gregory celebrates Mass (1774) for the church of Santa Maria del Carmine. He painted a Conversion of St Paul for the church of the Padri della Missione ai Vergini, and a St Joseph and Child Jesus (1787) for the Archconfraternity of San Giuseppe dei Nudi in Naples.
