text:
Oleksandra Mykolaivna Kononova (, born 27 February 1991) is a Ukrainian Paralympic skier. She won three medals at the 2010 Paralympics and became the 2010 Ukrainian sports personality of the year.

Personal life
Kononova was born in Brovary in 1991. She had a condition when she was a young child that meant that her right arm did not develop as well as her other arm. Kononova was an orphan brought up by her grandmother. When she was ten she met some youths who were using in-line roller skates. Kononova came from a poor background, she was bullied due to her disability and remembered being unhappy. She found out that the people she had met in the park were not roller skaters but a team training using skates for cross-country skiing. She decided to take up the sport.

Career
Training on skates during the spring and summer seasons she found that her disability did not effect her ability to succeed at skiing and she was achieving national positions by the time she was eighteen. Her first trainer was Anatoliy Zadvineyev.

When Kononova was nineteen she was chosen to travel from her home in Kyiv Oblast to represent her country at the paralympics in Canada. She was part of a Ukrainian team who had been fourth at the last paralympics and who hoped to better their position. Kononova won a gold medal for the Ukraine in the standing biathlon at the Paralympic games in Vancouver in 2010. She competed at the games as the reigning world champion. Kononova won the best debut at the games adding to the nineteen medals that the Ukraine took in Vancouver.

She won three gold medals and a silver medal at the 2010 Paralympics and became the 2010 Ukrainian sports personality of the year. She won significant prize money from the Ukrainian government and was credited with assisting in changing the Ukrainian's attitudes to disability in general.

Kononova competed at the IPC Nordic Biathlon World Cup in Vuokatti in Finland in 2014. On the final day of the World Cup she was the only non-Russian to claim a gold medal. She was in the Ukrainian biathlon team at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.

She won the gold medal in the women's 6km standing biathlon event at the 2021 World Para Snow Sports Championships held in Lillehammer, Norway. She also won the bronze medal in the women's 10km standing biathlon event.

title: Spring Records

text:
Spring Records was an American record label established in New York City in 1967. It was formed out of an artist and  production management company set up earlier by Bill Spitalsky, Roy Rifkind and Julie Rifkind.  The label name came from their surnames, "Sp" for Spitalsky and "ri" for Rifkind.  It was associated with the Polydor group.

It primarily released soul and funk music,  and was described as "one of the most important soul labels of the 1970s".  Initial recordings were distributed through MGM Records, but it was later associated with the Polydor group, which handled distribution and marketing.

The label released successful recordings once it got into its stride in 1970, mainly by Millie Jackson, Joe Simon, and The Fatback Band, as well as Jocelyn Brown, Garland Green, and Paul Evans. It also started two subsidiary labels, Event and Posse. Spring's in-house producer for a large part of the 1970s was Raeford Gerald, who worked with both Jackson and
Simon, but the label also used other producers, such as Brad Shapiro (for Millie Jackson), John Richbourg (for Joe Simon) and The Fatback Band handled their production.

Spring ended its association with Polydor, by then known as PolyGram, in 1983, but continued as an independent label for some years, mainly releasing disco tracks. The major selling acts of the 1970s by then had left the label. The company was formally wound up in  1993.

Jules Rifkind is the father of Steve Rifkind, founder of Loud Records. Roy Rifkind is the father of Randy and Jaimison Roberts. Randy was the drummer and a founding member of the Buchanan Brothers, who briefly toured with The Beach Boys. Roberts went on to be a prominent music attorney.

title: Vietnam Veterans Plaza

text:
Vietnam Veterans Plaza is an American memorial plaza in Manhattan, New York. It honors New York City citizens who served during the 20th-century Vietnam War.

Description and history
Located in the Financial District in Lower Manhattan, it lies on a trapezoidal parcel of land that was formerly a roadway named Coenties Slip. The slip road was used from the 17th century by Dutch sailors between journeys. The slip was filled in 1835, and it then became Jeannette Park in 1884, dedicated to the ill-fated  of the Jeannette expedition. Horticulturist Samuel Parsons was responsible for laying out the garden in 1886.

By the mid-20th century, city planner Robert Moses had rebuilt the park with "horseshoe pitches and tennis, paddleball, handball, and shuffleboard courts all arranged around a tear-shaped asphalt plaza with a flagpole". As part of the construction of the neighboring 55 Water Street, Paul Friedberg was commissioned to redesign the land in 1971, to which he added the amphitheater fountain. Initially, 55 Water Street's owners were responsible for maintaining the park, which was paved in brick similar to the Elevated Acre plaza next to the building.

In 1982, plans were unveiled to redevelop Jeannette Park into a memorial for veterans of the Vietnam War. The architects Peter Wormser and William Fellows and the writer Joseph Ferrandino won a competition to design it. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission raised private donations of $2.5 million ($1 million from Donald Trump, who served as co-chairman of the commission) to finance the memorial in 1983. The park was officially renamed Vietnam Veterans Plaza on July 20, 1983. The next year, it was announced that the plaza would contain a memorial wall, similar to that at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial but made of glass blocks. It was dedicated on May 6, 1985, by then-mayor Edward I. Koch to honor the 1,741 citizens of the city who died during the Vietnam War and the 250,000 men and women who served between 1964 and 1975.

Mayor Rudy Giuliani rededicated the plaza on November 9, 2001, following the September 11, 2001, attacks, as it underwent a $7 million restoration. A new ceremonial entrance was added providing access from Water Street to South Street and a black granite fountain placed at the center. The "Walk of Honor" contains 12 polished granite pylons with the names of all 1,741 people who died.

In the future, the park may be the site of an entrance to a Second Avenue Subway station under Hanover Square.

title: 1991–92 Norwich City F.C. season

text:
During the 1991–92 English football season, Norwich City F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary
In the 1991–92 season, Norwich's form for most of the season was satisfying which saw them by 21 March sitting in 13th, but afterwards things started to go downhill with a poor run which saw the Canaries lose 7 of their final 8 league games, collecting only one point which saw Norwich finish in a disappointing 18th place and one day before final game of the season, Dave Stringer handed in his resignation. Their cup form that season though was excellent where they reached the FA Cup semi finals where they ended up losing 1–0 to Sunderland, and also reached the League Cup quarter finals where they lost 2–1 at Tottenham Hotspur.

title: Digital Resistance

text:
Digital Resistance is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Slough Feg.  Released on February 17, 2014 by Metal Blade Records, the album was well-received and has been praised for its creative use of traditional metal themes inspired by Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy.

Recording
The album took approximately nine months to record, although the recording itself occurred "sporadically". Frontman Mike Scalzi suggested that the recording "was not different from any other album" except for his use of the organ, with all of the songs "written with the band in the rehearsal space just like our other albums".  However, he admitted that "the singing took forever because my voice is getting old and decrepit, and was never really suited for metal in the first place. I have a crooners voice, or if I’d worked at it a little maybe a choir voice, but not a high pitched metal voice...but I love metal, so I try to sing like Freddie Mercury and fail...and end up sounding like Neil Diamond on steroids. What can I say?"

Theme
 The album cover features a statue of Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome, suckling a she-wolf set against a dystopian background.  As Mike Scalzi explained, the cover places "Romulus and Remus in some destroyed civilization. It's a very vague reference to what the album is about. It's sort of mysterious...I wanted a civilization in ruins much like the Kiss cover of Destroyer". Scalzi said that the cover is illustrative of the album's technophobic concerns with impact of digital technology upon society, which were informed by his experiences as a philosophy teacher.

While the album's anti-technology orientation, according to Grayson Currin of Pitchfork, "seems almost painfully obvious for Slough Feg", he praised how Scalzi "spin[s] his rant toward a surprisingly broad" critique of "how electronics have turned well-meaning and intelligent people into facile consumers coldly following the orders of a screen". Scalzi suggested that technology has changed how people learn:

He described as lyrics as "very extreme in order to be dramatic", in order to convey his fear that "digital technology will in fact find its way eventually into our biology, and already has found its way into our mentality".

Reception

According to Metacritic, the album has received "universal acclaim".  Grayson Currin of Pitchfork praised the album's songs for "overflow[ing] with two-guitar pirouettes and resplendent hooks, dynamic surges and appropriate aggression", in which Scalzi's maturity has become an asset that illuminates the album's theme: "Age is the real omnipresent apparition of Digital Resistance, the mechanism by which cell phones become a threat and sci-fi fantasies morph into Orwellian nightmares". James Christopher Monger of AllMusic also picked up on the technophobic theme, as well as the band's veneration of tradition, which did not detract from the originality of the band's approach: "As Luddite metal albums go, it's a gem, and while it's certainly deserving of the retro tag, it never feels derivative".

title: Galemont

text:
Galemont is a historic home located at Broad Run, Fauquier County, Virginia.  It was built between 1778 and 1817, as a -story, two-room, stone hall-and-parlor-plan residence with a one-room cellar.  It was expanded about 1857, and included Federal / Greek Revival-style details.  In 1872, a new I-plan house was built less than 20 feet east of the original house, and connected to make one large, multi-period building with transverse center halls.  It was further enlarged in 1903, with a connection to the stone kitchen and two-story wing.  The later additions added a Folk Victorian style to the house.  Also on the property are the contributing garage, silo, old shed, pond, a fieldstone wall (c. 1824), and two archaeological sites: the 1852 Broad Run Train Depot site and an intact segment of the Thoroughfare Gap Road.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.

Critical reception
In a contemporary review The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Variably acted and tamely presented, this conventional frame-up tale relies chiefly on the story line to hold the attention. In its un-exacting fashion it does so until a ludicrous escape scene destroys all interest in the outcome."

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as “poor” and wrote: "Careless presentation and a tired format that’s played out.''

Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film called the film "mildly twisty", commenting that Carol Marsh was "a more distinctively distraught heroine than most".

TV Guide wrote: "this poorly-made work follows every convention of its hackneyed wronged-man plot and ultimately offers nothing at all."

title: Karl-Josef Assenmacher

text:
Karl-Josef Assenmacher (born 30 May 1947) is a former German referee.

Career
Assenmacher, born in Hürth, Germany, has officiated a total of 153 games in the Bundesliga and 99 games in the 2. Bundesliga. From 1983 to 1993, he was a FIFA referee and refereed 18 European Cup games, including the 1993 European Cup Winners' Cup Final between Parma of Italy and Antwerp of Belgium, held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 12 May 1993.

His career was marked by his refereeing of the World Cup qualifying game, held on 13 October 1993 at Rotterdam, between Holland and England. The game ended with Holland winning 2-0. The result meant that England would not qualify for the 1994 World Cup and caused English coach Graham Taylor to resign his post. Subsequently, Taylor, as well as most English media, criticized severely some of the referee's decisions in that game.

Late in the second half, with the game at 0–0, David Platt was fouled by Ronald Koeman as he raced in clear on goal. The German referee failed to apply the rule of sending the Dutch player  off for a "professional foul," and showed him only a yellow card. The Dutch players charged down the free kick, "encroaching the kicker" and the shot was blocked, while the referee waved play to carry on. Minutes later, Ronald Koeman took a similar free kick outside England's penalty area. His first shot was blocked, and one England player was booked for encroaching. The free kick was ordered retaken and Koeman scored at the second attempt. Dennis Bergkamp scored  Holland's 2nd goal ostensibly "using his arm to control the ball." However, two minutes before half-time, England were said to have been fortunate because a Frank Rijkaard goal was ruled out for offside, even though replays showed the goal was legitimate.

A week after the game, on 20 October 1993, FIFA issued a statement to the effect that  Assenmacher who was scheduled to referee the World Cup qualifier between Belgium and Czechoslovakia on 17 November, would be replaced by another German referee, Hellmut Krug. The statement read, "After analysing the performance of [Assenmacher], the Fifa Referees' Committee has decided to replace him with Krug." Assenmacher would not officiate an international game again.

Retirement
Assenmacher is an expert table tennis player. He has won the 2003 and 2008 Table Tennis World Master Series.

Production

The film's camera operator was future director Nicolas Roeg (credited as Nick Roeg).

Reception
Boxoffice said: "Denis Shaw is the hero, ever resolute and resourceful – and upon his fast-stepping form the film's dramatic intensity rests. The audience for which it's designed will be happy."

In British Sound Films David Quinlan says: "Routine crooks' tour with an unusual hero."

Franz Antony Clinton writes in British Thrillers, 1950–1979: "In one of the better Danzinger brothers B movies, The Great Van Robbery features a bright script and efficient direction that keeps things moving at a brisk pace."

In The British 'B' Film Chibnall & McFarlane write: "Nicolas Roeg's camerwork brought some distinction to The Great Van Robbery."

title: The Young Men

text:
The Young Men was a Hong Kong folk/rock band  in the late 1960s and early 1970s featured in the local media as the answer to the super American band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The group consisted of Stephen Lam (lead vocal, guitars, harmonicas), Ralph Wong (vocal, guitars, harmonicas), and Carl Wu (vocal, guitars, keyboard). They performed in the 1971 Hong Kong Festival and were regularly as featured artist in the Hong Kong TVB variety TV show, Enjoy Yourself Tonight, in the early 1970s.

Stephen Lam was a troubadour solo artist  in the Hong Kong club scene singing cover tunes by Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, the Eagles & the Beatles. Wong and Wu were in a pop band with a couple of girl singers. The three met in a fund raising concert in a high school. They hitched and hooked up to form the CRS (Carl (a.k.a. Karl), Ralph & Stephen) following the format of the American group CSN (Crosby, Stills & Nash) style of folk rock music. Their repertoire included covers for CSNY, Beatles, Eagles, Arlo Guthrie, James Taylor & Joni Mitchell.

They later changed their band's name to The Young Men and became popular in the local music scene. They placed second in the 1971 Hong Kong Music Festival and signed a contract with Hong Kong TVB to perform weekly in the famous Enjoy Yourself Tonight variety show. They were highly praised by HKTVB emcees Ivan Ho Sau-Shun, Lisa Wong Ming-Chuen Liza Wang and producer Robert Chua Wah-Peng. During this time, they performed in various concerts and functions with many peer Hong Kong musicians and bands such as Grace Chan, Jennifer Luk, Samuel Hui, Joe Chan, Agnes Chan, The Losers (later changed name to The Wynners), etc. Check the 1970 Hong Kong English pop.

They were interviewed by the Hong Kong Standard newspaper and an article was published with headline "Stephen, Ralph & Karl, Hong Kong's answer to CSNY".

The band was performing in the local music scene between 1968 and 1971, before they broke up for personal reasons. Lam and Wu went to the United States to further their study.  Wong continued to perform solo and with other local Hong Kong artists.

Lam went to Houston, Texas and graduated in engineering at University of Houston. He married a local girl and has a family in Houston. He continued to play music with regional Houston bands - Pete Martinez Band, Diana Dee and the Different Shades, The Powerline, and NightWish. He has written about 10 original songs over the years.  From 2013 till present, Lam has been performing locally in Houston as a solo artist. Houston Radio KPFT interviewed him on a couple of radio shows hosted by Chris Collins.

Wu went to Illinois, finished his master's degree in Engineering and returned to Hong Kong to work for the Hong Kong MTR rail system. He is married and is still active in playing music.

Wong died on November 5, 2013.

title: Athletics at the 2015 European Games

text:
Athletics at the 2015 European Games took place at the Baku National Stadium and on the streets of Baku, Azerbaijan.

Program
The main athletics programme in the National Stadium was a combined European Games and 2015 European Team Championships Third League  competition. It is the lowest league of the Team Championships, with 17 teams from smaller European athletics nations, including Azerbaijan.

600 athletes in total – competed over two days for points in 20 men's and women's track and field events. Points were to be combined to produce national team totals, and games medals awarded to the top three nations. Medals are not awarded for individual events. The top four nations also win promotion from the Third League of the European Team Championships to the Second League.

As required by the European Team Championship format, both genders compete in the non-Olympic 3000m event, while Olympic events longer than 5000m, and combined events, are not held. Athletics at the European Games offers possible qualification standards for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics.

A second non-medal athletics competition was held as a series of demonstration events on the streets of Baku in a Great City Games format. Events include the high jump and pole vault, and 24 athletes were scheduled to compete. Plans to include street running races were reportedly cancelled.

Athletics was not included in the earliest list of sports confirmed for the 2015 Games, as the European Athletics authorities at that stage were minded not to take part. However, following negotiations with the organising authorities, a compromise was reached in February 2014 between the organisers and European Athletics to hold the two sets of competitions. The agreement was confirmed by Pat Hickey, president of the European Olympic Committees in February 2015.

Azerbaijan's Dzmitry Marshin was suspended for four years after he failed a drug test. This subsequent doping disqualification led to changes in final standings. Austria received an additional point and overhauled Slovakia.

In 2022 Elisabeth Niedereder of Austria had all her results since May 2015 annulled by World Athletics and Austria were docked 11 points meaning that the gold medal reverted back to Slovakia after 7 years

Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment is a monographic series which has been published since 1955. Originally edited by Theodore Besterman, the series now comprises more than 600 books - edited volumes and monographs, in either English or French - on diverse topics related to the Enlightenment or the eighteenth century. Successors to Besterman as editor have been Haydn Mason (1976 - 1998), Antony Strugnell (1998 - 2002), Jonathan Mallinson (2002 - 2015), and the current General Editor, Gregory S. Brown, who took up the post at the start of 2016.

Name
Previously the series was called Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century (SVEC). In 2013, the name was changed to reflect the publication's global and interdisciplinary scope, which includes the Age of Enlightenment in the long Eighteenth Century and growing scholarly move to see the Enlightenment as a movement with worldwide impact and implications. Currently it is published by the Voltaire Foundation, an academic department in the Division of Humanities of the University of Oxford. Volumes prior to 1970 were published by the Institut et Musée Voltaire in Geneva. In September 2017, the Voltaire Foundation announced a partnership with Liverpool University Press, which will take on responsibility for printing, warehousing, marketing and distribution of the series in 2018.

Topics
The series publishes one book per month. Topics include history, literature and comparative studies, cultural studies, philosophy, the history of the book, theatre, arts and visual studies, and gender studies. Several of its books have won awards, such as the Society for the History of Natural History's Thackray Medal for Jean-Jacques Rousseau and botany: the salutary science (Alexandra Cook), and the Prix Marianne Roland Michel for The Profession of sculpture in the Paris 'Académie' (Tomas Macsotay).

title: Walter Bayes

text:
Walter John Bayes (31 May 1869 – 21 January 1956) was an English painter and illustrator who was a founder member of both the Camden Town Group and the London Group and also a renowned art teacher and critic.

Biography

Early life
Bayes was born in St Pancras, London, the second of four children to Alfred Walter Bayes, a painter and etcher who exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, and Emily Ann Fielden. Walter's sister, Jessie, was a designer in the Arts and Crafts style and his younger brother was the sculptor Gilbert Bayes. Walter Bayes attended the Quaker School at Saffron Waldon. While there, he and E.V. Lucas and Graham Hill started a periodical broadsheet.

He then attended University College School before beginning work in a solicitor's office. He did not enjoy the work and in 1886 began to take evening classes at the City and Guilds of London Institute in Finsbury before studying full-time at the Westminster School of Art. In 1894 he spent a short period of time studying at the Academie Julian in Paris.

Career
By the turn of the century Bayes had already exhibited a landscape painting at the Royal Academy, in 1890, and had exhibited at the New English Art Club in 1892. Later during the 1890s Bayes began teaching, first at the City and Guilds of London Institute, later at Bolt Court School of Art and then at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. He also started writing on art theory and criticism with regular columns in Outlook, Saturday Review and Weekend Review. He continued to paint, mostly landscapes in oil and watercolour but also developed an interest in theatre design. The first work by Bayes purchased by a major British gallery was Top o' the Tide which the Walker Art Gallery acquired in 1900. In 1901 he had painted scenes for a production Henrik Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman and in 1911 would exhibit both costume and scenery designs. In 1906 Bayes became the art critic of Athenaeum in place of Roger Fry.

In 1908 Bayes was one of the initial eighty artists to join the Allied Artists' Association formed by Frank Rutter. At the first Allied Artist's Association exhibition Bayes met Walter Sickert, who invited him to attend the regular weekly meetings of the Fitzroy Street Group. When the Camden Town Group was formed in 1911, Bayes was ideally placed to become one of its founding members, as they also met frequently at Sickert's studio. Bayes exhibited work at all three Camden Town Group exhibitions and, in 1913, became a founding member of the London Group. He also exhibited at the Franco-British Exhibition of 1908. In the 1910s, a constant theme of Bayes's work were direct oil sketches of his wife and his sons.

World War I

During World War I, Bayes continued to teach at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, which was close to the Elephant & Castle tube station on the London Underground. This was to be the site of one of Bayes's best known works, The Underworld: Taking cover in a Tube Station during a London air raid. The scale and composition reflects Bayes's pre-war work as a theatre designer and creates the impression that the viewer is passing through the station, and past the cast of characters on the platform, as if on a train. The picture was shown at the 1918 Royal Academy show and purchased by the Imperial War Museum, who asked Bayes if he would do a further work for the Ministry of Information. Bayes spent some time in Devon in 1918 preparing for what became Landing Survivors from a Torpedoed Ship. This painting was earmarked by the British War Memorials Committee for a proposed, but never built, national Hall of Remembrance. When that project was cancelled the painting was given to the Imperial War Museum but was destroyed by fire in 1977.

Later career

In 1918 Bayes was appointed Principal of the Westminster School of Art, a post he was to hold until 1934. From 1927 to 1939 Bayes was a lecturer in Perspective at the Royal Academy Schools and when he left Westminster in 1934 he continued teaching as a visiting lecturer at Reading University until 1937. Early in World War II Bayes submitted works to the War Artists' Advisory Committee for purchase but was refused. In May 1942, however WAAC offered Bayes a short commission to produce a large oil painting on the subject of the air raids that had resulted in damage to parts of Buckingham Palace in 1940 and 1941. The resulting painting, Battle of Britain: Parachutists from an enemy aircraft brought down in an apparent attempt to bomb Buckingham Palace, led to further war-time commissions. During the war Bayes was a prolific contributor to the Recording Britain scheme, producing numerous views of interior locations  that often focused on leisure activities and people eating and drinking. He produced 29 watercolours of London for the project, 23 of Essex and 20 of other areas, including seven drawings of Oxford. In 1944 Bayes became Director of Painting at Lancaster School of Arts and Crafts, finally retiring in 1949, aged eighty.

title: 2014 Libyan coup attempts

text:
Two coup d'état attempts were reported to have been made in 2014 by forces loyal to Maj. Gen. Khalifa Haftar, the commander of Libyan Ground Forces.

February
Haftar reportedly took control of Libya's main institutions on the morning of 14 February, before announcing on TV that he had suspended the General National Congress, the government and the Constitutional Declaration. Haftar claimed to be working in the name of the Libyan Republican Alliance, and also that forces loyal to him were in Tripoli, although he also stressed that he was not attempting a coup, but "a correction to the path of the revolution."

Reaction
In spite of the declaration according to the Independent there appeared to be minimal military presence in Tripoli, a claim supported by Reuters. The US ambassador to Libya, Safira Deborah, also released a statement claiming there appeared to be no substance to Haftar's declaration.

Libyan Defence Minister Abdullah Al-Thinni, responding to the declaration, claimed that Haftar's claim to forces loyal to him being in Tripoli was a lie, and also alleged that Haftar had no legitimacy. Thinni also reiterated that there was a warrant out for Haftar's arrest on the grounds of plotting a coup d'état.

Similarly Prime Minister Zeidan announced on public television that "We won't let anyone hijack the Libyan revolution," adding that the Military Command, with help of pro-government militias, has ordered Haftar's arrest.

May

, the parliament building was reported to have been stormed by troops loyal to General Haftar, reportedly including the Zintan Brigade, in what the Libyan government described as an attempted coup.

title: William Kellock Brown

text:
William Kellock Brown (15 December 1856 – 20 February 1934) was a Scottish sculptor prominent in late Victorian Glasgow, with many public works. His brother was the landscape artist Alexander Kellock Brown. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and Royal Scottish Academy. His sculptures are frequently simply initialled WKB. He was commissioned to create several Scottish war memorials in the early 1920s. He received an important commission from Glasgow Corporation in 1905–06, adding ornament to several public libraries in the city.

Biography

Born William Brown in Glasgow on 15 December 1856 (some sources state 1859) he later adopted the name Kellock, from his mother's family, to distinguish himself from other William Brown's active in the region. His father was originally a journeyman brass worker in Edinburgh but around 1853 he relocated to Glasgow to become a partner in Kenny & Brown, a firm of art metal workers.

William Kellock Brown studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1867 and later under Édouard Lantéri at the Royal College of Art in London and then at the Royal Academy Schools. While studying in London he created decorative balconies for the Savoy Hotel in 1888 and also exhibited a work in Liverpool. Later that year he returned to Glasgow, where he taught modelling at the Glasgow School of Art until 1894, immediately prior to its relocation to the building designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Throughout the 1890s and 1900s Kellock Brown, working in Glasgow, created portrait busts, figure studies and larger works including a memorial sculpture to Thomas Carlyle in Kelvingrove Park. During his career he completed a number of architectural commissions in Glasgow. These included figures for the Athenaeum in Buchanan Street completed in 1893, a series of classical figures for the parapet of the People's Palace between 1893 and 1898 and the external decoration for six Glasgow Corporation libraries. Smaller memorials by Kellock Brown, including one to the victims of the Titanic Disaster in 1912 and a statue of David Livingstone in 1913, were followed by a number of war memorials after the First World War.

From 1892 Kellock Brown was a member of the Art Workers Guild and was associated with the Scottish Society of Art Workers and exhibited works at the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1898 John Lavery nominated him as a member in the Royal Society of British Sculptors.
Kellock Brown died of a heart attack in 1934 in Cambridge Street, Glasgow.

title: Meridià

text:
Meridià was a Catalan magazine published every week and directed by A. Fuster Valldeperas. The first issue was published 14 January 1938, and it was published more than fifty times until 14 January 1939. The historical context is the Spanish Civil War that took place from 1936 until 1939.

The magazine had 8 pages with 4 columns and it had a measurement of 500×350 mm. It was printed in Clarassó, situated in the Street Villarroel 17 of Barcelona and it had the editorial office in Passeig de Gràcia 19 bis in the same city. Each number cost fifty cents of peseta.

Theme and collaborators

The themes of the magazine were politics, art and literature. It had a subtitle that showed that the people doing it were against the fascism and that they were intellectuals. Meridià tried to maintain the prestige of a previous magazine called .

The influence of the political party PSUC was very important in the direction of the magazine. Nevertheless, there was a certain eclecticism in the direction and the collaboration of Meridià. Its pages contained a great diversity of topics of a great variety of s\tyles. The magazine had an amazing quality with a lot of photos and images that illustrated all the works that were published in it. Moreover, it had an excellent typographic disposition.

The articles were divided into different groups that were Collaboration, Politics, Arts, Literature, Shows and Humor. The editors of the magazine were Sebastià Gash, Domènec Guansé, Lluís Montanyà, Joan Oliver, J. Roure-Torrent, M. Serra i Moret, Manuel Valldeperes and the head of edition was Joan Merlí. Later on, this team changed a little bit due to the historical circumstances of the moment.

The usual collaboration of Meridià was very extensive. We find essays and works of Pere Quart, Pau Balcells, Joan Comorera, Joan Peiró, Avel·lí Artís-Gener, Francesc Trabal, Antoni Rovira i Virgili, Rafael Tasis i Marca, M. Serra i Moret, C.A. Jordana, Jaume Serra Hunter, Felip Barjau, Josep Sol, among many others. The artistic part was done by famous drawers like Tísner, Apa, Arteche, Viader, Martí Bas, Calders, etcetera.

The literary importance of Meridià is quite remarkable and it is a wonderful historical source from the difficult period of time in which it was published.

title: Eliete Mejorado

text:
Eliete Mejorado (born 1967 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian performance artist, musician, filmmaker and video director,  best known for her work as the vocalist and keyboard player of tropical punk duo Tetine which she formed with poet and musician Bruno Verner in São Paulo in 1995.

Early 1980s
Eliete Mejorado started her career in the early 1980s as a performance artist, videomaker and actress in São Paulo working with Luis Otavio Burnier and late choreographer Johnatas Gama. Later in the decade, she produced a number of experimental video works and solo performances that often involved music, dance, screaming vocals, miming, moustaches, wigs, physical theatre and drag. Some of her early work was performed solo or in groups in venues such as Sesc Pompeia and at legendary São Paulo post-punk underground club Madame Sata.

From 1988-1992 Mejorado also studied Performing Arts at UNICAMP.

1990–2000
In 1994 Eliete Mejorado was rehearsing for a performance at Teatro Oficina when she met Bruno Verner for the first time. Eliete and Bruno soon found themselves creating a radical blend of atonalism, industrial, punk and noise improvising with a drum machine, an old piano and altered voices. These interludes would often happen during Roberto Zucco's rehearsal breaks. Both artists approach to performance, sound, voice, text and physicality were  similar,  resulting in the creation of a one-off art project that they later would baptize as Tetine.

In 1995 Tetine was officially born with the debut piece Alexandre’s Grave - a multi-media performance for voice, piano, electronics and projections shown at an old 70-seat auditorium called Teatro HAU at Bexiga in São Paulo.

Alexandre’s Grave marked the first of a series of works Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado would perform or exhibit as Tetine.

In 1995 her first album with Tetine, Alexandre’s Grave was released on High School Records.

In 1997 Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner wrote the original soundtrack for the dance piece CREME by Adriana Banana, ex Cia de Dança Burra. On Creme, Eliete sings, play keyboards and produced a number of tracks for the score.

In 1997 Eliete Mejorado, Bruno Verner and Ricardo Muniz Fernandes create a project called BABEL - curating the entire programme of the now legendary performance festival that took place in an abandoned petrol station in the borough of Pinheiros in São Paulo owned by SESC.

BABEL brought to São Paulo a series of performances and art works by international and local artists such as Orlan, Karen Finley, Lindy Annis, Teatro Oficina, Tetine, Laura Di Vison, Kazuo Ohno, Gerald Thomas, Cabelo, PUS, Marta Neves, Fernando Cardoso, Carlinhos, Claudio Cretti, Adriana Galinare amongst others. During 15 days the festival occupied a deactivated petrol station in the borough of Pinheiros with unconventional exhibition spaces, an experimental theatre, a small cinema, a stage for bands and an open air catwalk for fashion shows. BABEL was for free and received an incredible amount of Brazilian media attention & public visitation during its two weeks of life.

In 1998 Eliete Mejorado is invited to curate the music segment of MUNDAO at SESC SANTO AMARO bringing for the first time to Brazil, Diamanda Galás, Marianne Faithfull and John Cale for special performances in São Paulo. Other artists include Cibo Matto and a number of local artists.

2000–2014
In January 2000, Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner become resident artist at Queen Mary University of London, establishing themselves in the UK. At Queen Mary, University of London, Eliete Mejorado gave workshops on performance, music & sound manipulation to students of the Drama & Performance department and later created "Living Room" - an autobiographical spoken word piece for electronics presented at the university’s Harold Pinter Theatre. "Living Room" also took part of East End Collaborations Platform - a collaboration between the Live Art Development Agency and Queen Mary University showing emerging artists working with Live Art.

In 2002 Eliete Mejorado was awarded the full scholarship Bolsa Virtuose from Brazilian government to complete a Masters in Performance at Brighton University, UK.

In 2002 she collaborates with French artist Sophie Calle recording, producing and performing in the acclaimed electronic music album Samba De Monalisa - Tetine Vs Sophie Calle.  The record was part of the collection Meld - a series of audio works and collaborations between artists released on Robin Rimbauld (Scanner)’s label Sulpher Records. Other titles from Meld include DJ Spook, Scanner, Stephen Vittielo. At the same year Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner co-curate a film programme, slide projection and performance night with Ian White at Whitechapel Gallery entitled The Politics of Self Indulgence including films by Taka Limura, Chicks on Speed, Tetine, Marina Abramović, Chilly Gonzales and debuting their Samba de Monalisa performance live at Whitechapel Gallery.

In 2002 Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner fell in love with a new scene of female MCs of funk carioca (Baile Funk) from Rio de Janeiro and began broadcasting a weekly radio show called Slum Dunk on Resonance FM, 104.4 entirely dedicated to the genre. That's the first time funk carioca is played in Europe. After hundreds of radio shows spanning different periods of the genre, including a series of live interviews with Djs, MCs and people involved in the scene, in 2004, Bruno Verner & Eliete Mejorado compiled the pioneering mixtape Slum Dunk Presents Funk Carioca mixed by Tetine, released on Mr Bongo Records. At the same year they released an original blend of queer funk carioca in an album entitled Bonde Do Tetao on Bizarre Records in São Paulo. Critically acclaimed in Europe and in the USA, Slum Dunk Presents Funk Carioca influenced an entire new generation of DJs and producers including M.I.A and Diplo - artists who were beginning to experiment with funk carioca at more or less the same time. Tetine's Slum Dunk radio show was responsible to bring Funk Carioca – the intense lo-down Miami-bass driven sound from Rio’s favela parties – within London’s cultural radar, giving exposure to a number of Baile Funk artists for the first time in Europe, introducing the British and Americans to a new genre, as well as playing Brazil’s most experimental segments of funk carioca culture including the proibidoes.

The Slum Dunk show also covered from obscure electronica to post punk, funk carioca to avant hip hop, experimental mpb to film music and beyond – through hundreds of thematic or free-form radio shows including live performances, interviews with MCs, producers, artists, curators, journalists, beat & party politics conversations, screenings and more.  Eliete Mejorado was also responsible for the London premiere of I'm Ugly But Trendy - a film by Denise Garcia on the funk carioca scene, later also exhibited in Tetine’s show Tropical Punk at Whitechapel Gallery.
In 2006 Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner put out 'A Historia Da Garça - a 12’ release on Soul Jazz Records and the EP L.I.C.K MY FAVELA on Berlin's label Kute Bash.

In 2007 Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner exhibit "Tropical Punk" - a Brazilian tropical intervention that took place at the Whitehapel Gallery with a programme of films, artist videos, fanzines, T. shirts and performances.
In 2008 Soul Jazz Records releases Tetine's I Go To The Doctor as 12-inch - a collaboration with MC Deise Tigrona (previously released on Slum Dunk Music & Kute Bash in 2005, 2006 respectively) following Tetine’s acclaimed full album Let Your X’s Be Y’s.

In an interview for XRL8R Cameron Macdonald refers to Eliete with the following quote "vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Eliete Mejorado often takes the stage in the scant garb of a Carnaval dancer, and leads the audience through sexually charged, politically provocative songs like the Tone Loc-sampling hip-hop number “L.I.C.K. My Favela.” “It’s fun and political at the same time,” Mejorado says of the band's ethos. “The world is an ultra-technological place and super-sexualized, but people don’t really know what to do with their bodies.”

In 2009 Eliete Mehorado is back in São Paulo for a series of shows, talks, exhibitions and workshops on Tetine’s project Samba de Monalisa. Tetine are invited to perform "Samba de Monalisa" at Sophie Calle's exhibition Take Care of Yourself as part of Videobrasil. At the same year Samba de Monalisa is also presented at the Bourdeaux Bienalle in France.

In 2010 Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner release independently From A Forest Near You (Slum Dunk Music) and the 12' EP Tropical Punk including Yr Daughter Lies, a collaboration with LA duo Howardamb.

In 2013 Tetine releases In Loveland With You produced by Bruno Verner.  The first two videos for Burning Land and Loveland are filmed in London and directed by Eliete Mejorado.
Later in the year Bruno Verner, Eliete Mejorado, poet Ricardo Domeneck and German singer-songwriter Cunt Cunt Chanel go on a mini tour in Belgium organised by Hugo Lorenzetti.

In 2014 Eliete Mejorado directs a new video piece entitled Shake.
