Development
After the debacle of his directorial debut Cheluveye Ninne Nodalu, director Raghuram worked out on chalking out the screenplay for the story narrated by journalist Yathiraj. Upon questioning about the English-language title name for a Kannada-language film, the director mentioned that the title has both the English world "Fair" (referring to Shwetha) and the English word "Lovely" (referring to "Lovely Star" Prem). Having initially planned to name it Aparanji, he abandoned thinking it "would suit a more senior actor like Ravichandran more". Speaking of the theme of the film, he said "[It] surrounds Duddu (Money), Santhe (fair), Bili banna (fairness) and Nyaya (justice)."

Casting and filming
Prem Kumar was signed as the lead role in August 2013. Nakshatra's signing was revealed in November 2013. Raghuram however kept the signing of another actor secretive till the month of the film's release. It was revealed three days before the film's release that the actor was Vijay Raghavendra. Work on the film began in  September 2013, with sound recording work having been carried out in Bangalore. Filming began on 11 October 2013.

The film was the second outing of the lead pair of Prem Kumar and Shwetha Srivatsav together, after having worked with a soap opera Manavathara. In an interview with The Times of India, Srivatsav, who plays the lead role in the film, revealed that her role in the film is of a sex worker. Talking of her preparation for the role, she said, "When I was in college, I played this role in two plays. So maybe that has helped me. Otherwise, I have watched a lot of movies. I'm a movie buff. Unintentionally, I observe the characters and maybe (I imbibed) all that body language and the way of delivering the dialogues." Speaking of his role, Kumar said, he plays "as a young man who also has a deep maturity and how he brings positivity and a ray of hope into a depressed person's life". The filming completed in early July 2014.

Soundtrack

The film's audio released was held on 9 July 2014, in Bangalore. This day coincided with the birthday of the director Raghuram. The soundtrack album consists of 6 tracks. Lyrics for the soundtracks were penned by director A. P. Arjun, music director V. Harikrishna and director Nagendra Prasad's son Anand Priya. It was earlier reported that singer Ash King had recorded one song in his voice. However, his name did not feature in the final track list.

Critical reception
Reviewing the album, Kavya Christopher of The Times of India wrote, "[The songs] follow a sort of a familiar sing-song pattern that one can hum along with even when one listens to it for the first time." She added that the track "Anireekshita" stands out with its "funky tunes and pretty cool lyrics".

Release and reception
The film was given the "U/A" (Parental Guidance) certificate by the censor board. It made its theatrical release on 24 October 2014, in over 100 theatres across Karnataka. Following a good run at the domestic box-office, reports said the film was set to be screened in Australia, the United States and Germany among other countries.

Upon release it received generally positive reviews from critics. The film was praised for its screenplay and performances and was criticized for its music. B. S. Srivani of Deccan Herald gave the film a rating of four out of five, and said the film has "very, very little to complain about. And deserving lots of applause." Of the film's screenplay, she wrote, "The credit belongs to actor Yatiraj upon whose story the director with dialogue writer Anandpriya builds a fine screenplay." She concluded writing praises of the acting and the camera departments. Shyam Prasad S. of Bangalore Mirror gave the film a rating of 3.5/5 wrote that its story is a "simple" one and it resembled that of Simple Agi Ondh Love Story, a 2012 film that stars Shwetha Srivatsav. He added writing praises to the lead pair, the dialogues and narration, and the cinematography. He concluded calling it a "complete film". Prakash Upadhyaya of International Business Times reviewed the film giving it a 3/5 rating and called it "A Pure Entertainer". He said the screenplay gets "full marks" and "Prem Kumar reinstates that he is growing as an actor. Shwetha does her role neatly and impresses the audience as a sex worker" and added that the music is "a big disappointment".

Writing for The Hindu, Muralidhara Khajane wrote, "... [the director has] made a ‘humble’ attempt to peep into the life of a prostitute". Of the acting performances, he wrote, "The role of Bhumika, a student of medicine, opting for prostitution, is too meek and unconvincing... Shweta looks convincing only when she attacks the male-dominated, chauvinistic society and rolls out dialogues exposing the hypocrisy of society." and added, "Raghuram makes the hero Manu (Prem Kumar) an embodiment of all virtues and makes his character flawless. Actually, it is Vijaya Raghavendra’s character as Abhimanyu, which looks more realistic than Manu. Anu Prabhakar and Nakshtra have nothing much to offer." A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express reviewed the film and wrote, "[The film] offers a grim portrayal of a sex worker's life through Fair & Lovely. The film reveals the cold hard truths that lurk in the life of a woman who exploits her body for financial gain." Of the lead pair's performances, she wrote, "Prem has always been pleasant to see on screen and has faithfully followed the director’s instructions. Shweta has tried to stick to the ground realities, without overdoing her act or her look." She also wrote praises of the " music scored by V Harikrishna" and criticized about the film tending to "slow down" and that "conversations cover a large part of the film."

title: Lena Andersson (singer)

text:
Lena Marianne Andersson (born 11 April 1955, Fritsla, Västergötland) is a Swedish singer, scoring several hits in the early 1970s. Andersson was signed at 17-years-old as a Polar recording artist in 1971. Benny & Björn of ABBA wrote a song for her which placed third in the 1972 Swedish Eurovision selection contest. Andersson also recorded as a backing singer for ABBA.

Biography

Early life

Andersson was born in April 1955.  At age seven, she moved with her parents to Halmstad and was enrolled in first grade for the spring semester.  She was given a guitar at the age of 12 and discovered a love of folk music, adopting a vocal style similar to that of Joan Baez and Judy Collins. Lena collaborated with her best friend Pia, a lyricist, and in December 1970, she sent seven songs with guitar accompaniment to the Janne Forsell school as part of an admissions application and after some of her music made its way to radio, she came to the attention of manager Stig Anderson.  In January of that year Lena went to Stockholm, accompanied by her father, to train and she did a live recording on the program Midnight Hour where she met Stig Anderson in person, leading to an offer to produce an LP.  The LP was recorded by Lena at age 15 during winter break in 1971, accompanied by, amongst others, guitarist Janne Schaffer and pianist Jan Boquist.

Initial success in the 1970s

Following some success with her LP, Andersson made her television debut at age 15 in April 1971 in Hylands hörna with Är det konstigt att man längtar bort nån gång (I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again), a song written by Buffy Sainte-Marie with Swedish lyrics by Stig Anderson.  This song hit number one on Sweden's "Top Hits" chart almost immediately and led to Andersson being launched quickly to some fame in Sweden.  She conducted a public park tour in the same year with 79 engagements around Sweden.  Her early 1970s success continued when she took an active part in Melodifestivalen 1972 with the song Säg det med en sång (Say it with a song), for which she took third place.  In 1972, she released an LP in Japan including two songs in Japanese and in the same years she attended (together with Björn and Benny of ABBA fame) the "Tokyo Music Festival", performing "Better To Have Loved" and receiving first prize.  For a period thereafter, she featured as a background singer for ABBA, including performances in 1977's ABBA: The Movie.  The same year she also participated in the Melodifestivalen, the annual Swedish music competition to determine the country's representative at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Det bästa som finns (The Best There Is)" (written by Kenneth and Ted Gärdestad), finishing in eighth place.

Later life

In the early 1980s, Andersson produced a few pop singles together with guitarist Lars Finberg (Tonight, Lay Baby Lay, Build Me Up and Inspiration).  Despite some success with these singles, her output of professional releases decreased thereafter.  Her last release (excepting compilation albums in 1991 and 2002) was Tonight (with B-side Coming Through), released in 1983.  In 1997 she moved from Uppsala to Småland and worked together with pianist Magnus Eklof, amongst others, performing live regularly over the next four years. In 1999, she moved to Västervik and was then a member of the Livets Ord ("Word of Life") Christian religious movement. In 2001, her last year in Sweden, she played with the NIZZAN Jazz Band in her old home town of Halmstad. In 2015 she released a CD and did a small club tour.

Current life

On 26 May 2001, she married American songwriter and producer, Tobe Hubbard in Påskallavik Church and now adopted the surname Andersson-Hubbard. She moved on 22 August 2001 to the United States, a few miles north of San Diego, California.  In April 2007, she moved with her husband after he was appointed as a children's pastor in the city of Turlock.  Then they felt they needed to be closer to family and so moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2011 where they both are working on her music with new friends from the 'valley of the sun'.  She continues to sing, focusing on writing new music, authoring for various publications, and performing at church functions, festivals, medium to larger venues, as a choir member, a worship leader and as the main draw. In July 2015 she released her latest solo single Straight Line which replaced all of her past songs in iTunes.

title: Maricopa County Courthouse

text:
The Maricopa County Courthouse and Old Phoenix City Hall, also known as the County-City Administration Building, is a historic structure in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The structure consists of two buildings in a conjoined layout sharing the same architecture.

History

The need for a new courthouse and city hall
The Maricopa County Courthouse and Phoenix City Hall was a joint effort of Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix, a "monumentally scaled" building taking up a full city block downtown. As city and county government matured, officials realized that a building of sufficient size was necessary to house county and city functions in an expanding Phoenix and Maricopa County. Maricopa County's facilities were an imposing two-story brick building in Block 76 of the townsite, completed in 1884; meanwhile, the original 1889 Phoenix city hall, which was designed by James M. Creighton and doubled as territorial capital until 1901, was also becoming too cramped for continued use.

On April 28, 1927, the county board of supervisors passed a resolution stating that the current courthouse and jail were no longer adequate for their needs. Additional space was needed for county departments, and adding to the 1884 structure would result in significant fire hazards. The board of supervisors called an election on May 21, 1927, to issue $750,000 in bonds to construct a new building on the Block 76 site; the citizens of Maricopa County approved the bonds by a margin of 3,489 to 780. On June 15, the board proceeded to begin the process of selecting an architect. When the bonds went to bid on July 18, nine investment firms and banks sought them, with Valley Bank and Trust of Phoenix being the winner.

Meanwhile, Phoenix, whose growth in the 1920s had led to at least eight new high-rise buildings downtown, saw an opportunity in the new county courthouse project to get a city hall. A group of reform-minded citizens led the charge to combine the two projects; in early 1927, Judge Frank O. Smith spoke twice to the city commission on behalf of a group in the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. Days after his second speech, the board of supervisors sent the city a letter expressing a desire to collaborate on a shared building. With approval from both the board and the mayor and continued pressure from Judge Smith and the chamber of commerce, the ball began to roll. In June, the property was assessed, and after that, the board of supervisors accepted a bid from the city to acquire the western third of the property for Phoenix's city hall. On July 8, the city commission passed an ordinance calling for a special bond election to raise $450,000 to acquire the western third (valued at $150,000) and to build the new city hall. The election, held on August 16, saw Phoenicians vote 460 to 164 in favor of the proposal.

Design and construction

Early on, both sides began scouting architects. The board of supervisors traveled to various eastern and southern states in the summer of 1927 to evaluate the latest in new courthouses. They consulted other boards and commissions, and in September, they began to analyze the seven bids that had been received.

Prominent architects and firms figured among the contenders to build the county courthouse. Three of them were local: V. O. Wallingford of Phoenix, recognized for his architectural activities throughout the state; Fitzhugh & Byron, also of Phoenix; and Lescher & Mahoney, known for constructing schools and other public buildings. Four additional architects put in bids: William N. Bowman of Denver, designer of the Yavapai County Courthouse; Henry T. Phelps of San Antonio, who designed several courthouses in Texas; Trost & Trost of El Paso had designed many buildings in Tucson and the Luhrs Building downtown; and Shreveport architect Edward Neild, whose Caddo Parish Courthouse favorably impressed the supervisors. On September 19, 1927, the board of supervisors voted 2–1 to select Neild, with A. G. Austin voting instead for Bowman's proposal.

However, the decision did not meet well with the city of Phoenix, which had backed Lescher & Mahoney. Board and city officials worked to reach a compromise, and both sides expressed a desire to put their differences behind them. An official contract was signed in October, and in November, Phoenix signed a contract with Lescher & Mahoney to design its portion of the project. The contract called for Neild to be in charge of general exterior appearance, but Lescher & Mahoney added several elements to the exterior of the City Hall area and was largely in control of the design of its interiors. In April 1928, the board called for bids for the general contractor; the winning firm was Los Angeles-based Edwards, Wildey and Dixon, who had just completed the Security Building, with which the board was particularly impressed.

The contract process hit a snag when a contract specifying the highest quality furniture for the sum of $47,000 was contested by Berryhill Office Equipment Company. Berryhill sued in Maricopa County Superior Court, alleging that the county, by not providing specifications or calling for a lowest and best bid, did not follow prescribed bidding practices. The Superior Court ruled in favor of the county, but Berryhill appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, which sided with Berryhill on June 14, 1929. The county was forced to redo the bidding process.

With the building half completed, the city and county hosted a dedication ceremony conducted by the Arizona Grand Lodge of Masons. Among the dignitaries present were Senator Carl Hayden, the acting Grand Orator, and Col. John Philip Sousa, conducting the Marine Corps Band. At the ceremony, the cornerstone of Arizona granite was laid, and a time capsule, coated in copper and containing documents, emblems and other ephemera, was mortared inside with a silver trowel.

The Berryhill lawsuit and normal construction delays pushed back occupancy from the scheduled date of April 1, 1929, to June 23, when the city and county formally took possession of the building, constructed at a total cost of $1,200,000.

Occupancy
The city and county each had portions of the building serving their own offices, with a jail on the fifth and sixth floors. The building housed the City Justice of the Peace and the Maricopa County Superior Court, making it an important hub of legal activity in the Phoenix area. Among the major county cases tried in the courthouse was the first trial of Ernesto Miranda, which eventually led to the landmark Miranda v. Arizona case of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1966
and, consequently, the ubiquitous "Miranda warning" issued by police.
In addition, Winnie Ruth Judd was once jailed inside the courthouse.

Outgrowth and city relocation

With Phoenix and Maricopa County both continuing with explosive growth after World War II, the joint city-county building, which represented a vastly different era in state history, now was as inadequate as the structures it had replaced. As early as 1949, Phoenix officials began to explore the possibility of building a new city hall; the city needed so much space that it desired a building for its exclusive use. With this need growing ever more urgent, voters approved $4.3 million in bonds in April 1957 to build a new city hall. The modernist ten-story Phoenix Municipal Building (now the Calvin C. Goode Building) at 251 West Washington Street, designed by a consortium of Ralph Haver and Associates and Edward L. Varney and Associates, represented not only the increased size and stature of Phoenix but also the rapid evolution in architectural styles. At the same time, many Maricopa County functions moved to new facilities in the $11 million Maricopa County Governmental Complex, completed in 1964 and designed by the firm of Stephens Walsh Emmons Shanks.

The Superior Court still uses the building. In 2012, the Maricopa County Justice Museum opened in a sixth-floor cell block inside the Old Courthouse.

Architecture

Designers
The courthouse was designed by Shreveport architect Edward Neild in conjunction with the influential Phoenix firm of Lescher & Mahoney. At the time, Lescher & Mahoney dominated the design of public buildings in the state; their work included the county courthouses in Graham and Mohave counties, and while the courthouse was under construction the Orpheum Theater and Brophy College Chapel, also designs from Lescher & Mahoney, were under construction. Neild, meanwhile, had built the Shreveport Municipal Building in his hometown in 1924 and also designed several structures at Louisiana Tech University. The Maricopa County Courthouse is Neild's only known work in the state of Arizona.

Exterior
The Maricopa County Courthouse is designed in an H shape with overall dimensions of  by . The six-story central tower dominates the composition, with seven pronounced vertical bays. Two four-story projecting wings with three bays flank the east and west sides; as a whole, the building presents a "wide and imposing" façade to both Washington Street, which contains the entrance to the county portion, and to Jefferson Street.

The building is made of poured-in-place concrete using a conventional concrete frame. The structure itself sits on a raised foundation story made of evenly coursed terra cotta panels, with unornamented window openings. The exterior is clad in rusticated terra cotta panels of various colors that simulate yellow sandstone and also lend the building an appearance similar to that of masonry. The entry to the courthouse is set within a rounded arch, above which is inscribed "MARICOPA COUNTY COURT HOUSE". The entry is a pair of bronze doors with full glass panels topped with ornamental ironwork. The side wings on the second level have windows framed in cast iron, the one element that gives the courthouse a Southwestern flavor.

The most ornamentation is to be found on the building's upper two stories, used as the jail with a third masonry expression utilizing terra cotta panels. The windows on these levels have honeycomb patterns of tiles framed in cast iron, while the sixth floor has conventional steel frame windows. The bays rise to a segmented arch with radiating elements echoing those in the entryways, creating a Neoclassical, form-based appearance. The hipped, clay tile roof was originally coated in seven different colors of tiles, a detail no longer visible due to soiling.

The Second Avenue façade is the third primary elevation of the building, featuring the main entrance to the city portion. This entrance is also set inside an arch, which is flanked by terra cotta sculptures of the mythological phoenix. The wall adjacent to the entry is entirely made of polished granite, while the bronze doors are multi-paneled.

Interior
The interior is "equally as elaborate in detail" as the exterior, with numerous materials. Circulation centers around a longitudinal east-west corridor through the building. Behind the county entrance is a grand entrance foyer utilizing four types of marble; even the restrooms feature gray Alaskan marble wainscoting. Paneling and woodwork in the offices and courtrooms features Philippine mahogany. The interior breaks with the exterior stylistically, relying on Spanish Colonial Revival ornamentation on the first floor.

Several renovations were made prior to the building being listed, all minor reconfigurations of the interior. Some finishes and ceilings were obscured, fire-rated doors were added, and several rooms were divided, but the courtrooms were still predominantly intact in the late 1980s.

title: Calvin Earl

text:
Calvin Earl is an American singer, musician, storyteller and documentary film maker specializing in the history of African American Spirituals. His passion for the preservation of the spirituals led him to lobby for the introduction of twin resolutions (H. Res. 120 and S. Res 69) in the United States Congress in 2007, to honor American slaves for their contribution to the American nation and recognize the African American Spiritual as a National Treasure. He is referred to in the legislation as a “noted performer & educator of the African American Spirituals". Because of his successful efforts in the passage of the legislation, Earl became affectionately known as the "Ambassador of the African American Spirituals". He has recorded two albums of spirituals (for Back to Basics Records), including Gratitude which is sold at American historical sites including Monticello, Mount Vernon, Jamestown, and the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site in Plains, Georgia.

Early life

Calvin Earl was born in a sharecropper cabin on the Glen Lillie Farm in Gatesville, NC. Earl began playing guitar at the age of 7 at his hometown church.  A naturally talented musician, he soon began to travel to different churches and school venues in several surrounding counties in North Carolina and Virginia.  Considered a musical prodigy at the age of 9, his frequent performances on local Christian radio stations in Virginia and in his home state of North Carolina brought him to the attention of gospel musician Mahalia Jackson.  He performed with her and many other gospel singers including The Blind Boys of Alabama, Shirley Caesar, James Cleveland, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and the Dixie Hummingbirds throughout his childhood and teen years. James Brown wanted to take him on the road as a guitarist for his band, but Earl's parents turned down the offer along with all the other offers for their youngest son.

Career

In 1972–1974 while serving stateside in the military (US Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Ord, California) during the Vietnam War, Earl formed a R & B band in 1973 named the "Elements of Peace". The band performed at Military Officer's clubs, nightclubs in the Monterey and San Francisco Bay areas, and at special events. At the end of his military service they disbanded and Earl attended community college on the GI Bill in Monterey, California.  In late 1991, he formed another band, "Calvin Earl and His Big Band Sound". In 1991 at the annual Long Beach Blues Festival he was invited to perform with The Blind Boys of Alabama. In the Spring of 1992, he presented his first solo performance at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Ojai, California.

Earl joined several artist rosters at Community Works Theater To Go NYC an organization building community through art and education, Urban Stages an award-winning Off Broadway production company and NY State Performers & Programs for public libraries. He also joined the New Jersey Council for the Humanities – Horizons Speaker Bureau roster.

In 1999 he debuted his show "The Spirit Behind The Spirituals" at the Children's Storefront School in Harlem.

2007 United States Congressional Historic Twin Resolutions

In 2006, Earl asked Senator Robert Menendez to introduce legislation on the Senate floor to honor the American slaves for their contributions to the American nation, and recognize the African American Spiritual as a National Treasure.

Earl managed to persuade Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro to sponsor the twin resolution, while other co-sponsors included Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (NY), Congressman Danny K. Davis (IL) and Congressman John Lewis (GA). He also enlisted the help of scholars including Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr – Harvard University, Dr. Cornel West- Princeton University, Dr Clement Price – Rudgers University, Dr. Dorothy I. Height (1912–2010)- former Chair & President Emerita National Council of Negro Women and the NAACP. On February 7, 2007, the House passed H. Res 120, and on February 17, 2007, the Senate passed S. Res 69.

title: Fromia elegans

text:
Fromia elegans, common name little red star, is a species of marine starfish belonging to the family Goniasteridae.

Distribution
This sea star has been spotted at latitudes from -27.5 to 26.6 and longitudes from 32.7 to 159.6.

Habitat
The animal is found at depths from  down to , in  to  water.

Systematics
In 1921, H. L. Clark described this species of sea star as Fromia elegans. In 1938, Engel collected specimens he believed to be F. elegans. Hayashi studied Engel's collection, and finding them to be the same species as Fromia indica, considered the names to be synonyms. In 1971, A. M. Clark believed there were enough differences between some specimens that they should be separate species, and that Engel's 1938 specimens may have been F. indica mistaken for F. elegans. Marsh doubted this in 1977, though she didn't have evidence. Engel's description is now considered a synonym, and informally a forma, of Fromia indica, while H. L. Clark's description, the subject of this article, is accepted as a full species.

title: I Never Called It Rape

text:
I Never Called It Rape is a 1988 book by journalist Robin Warshaw. The book focuses on the hidden epidemic of acquaintance and date rape. The book is largely based on a nationwide study in the United States, the Ms. Magazine Campus Project on Sexual Assault. The title references the finding in the study that 73% of women whose sexual assault met the definition of rape did not identify their experience as such.

The study of acquaintance rape on college campuses funded by the National Institute for Mental Health formed the basis for Warshaw's book, which is subtitled The Ms. Report on Recognizing, Fighting, and Surviving Date and Acquaintance Rape. The study was conducted by Ms. magazine and psychologist Mary P. Koss. They found that one in four women respondents had experienced rape or attempted rape, that 84% of survivors knew their attackers, and that 57% of the rapes occurred during dates. Warshaw also draws on scholarly studies and first-person accounts in her analysis. She interviewed and corresponded with 150 women for the book.

Warshaw finds that there is little to differentiate rapists from non-rapists and victims from non-victims. She stresses that men, learning institutions, families, and other social institutions must share in the responsibility for changing societal attitudes towards rape.

Reception
In a review in Feminist Teacher, Ann Goetting found the book to be "a thorough, practical, and highly effective presentation of the social dynamics and consequences of acquaintance-rape among college students."

Katie Roiphe, in her 1993 book The Morning After, questioned whether one in four women are victims of rape, writing "If I were really standing in the middle of an epidemic, a crisis, if 25 percent of my female friends were being raped, wouldn't I know it?"

title: Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience

text:
The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) (Dutch: Nederlands Herseninstituut) is a research institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) that carries out neuroscience research with special emphasis on the brain and visual system. Although the institute's focus is on understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying brain function, its research spans the development, plasticity and aging of the brain and is often linked to clinical research questions. The research program is carried out in 17 research groups. In addition, the NIN includes the Netherlands Brain Bank and the Netherlands Sleep Registry.

History
The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) came into being on 1 July 2005 as the merger of the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research (NIBR) and the Netherlands Ophthalmic Research Institute (NORI). The NIBR dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. A meeting of the International Association of Academies held in Paris in 1901 led in 1904 to the formation of the International Academic Committee for Brain Research, and the foundation of several institutes for brain research in Europe, including in 1908, the “Netherlands Central Institute for Brain Research”. Under director Prof C. U. Ariëns Kappers (director 1909–1946) and his successors the institute acquired an international reputation as a centre of excellent brain research. Originally oriented to comparative neuroanatomy the institute later became a multidisciplinary centre with outstanding research facilities

The NORI was founded in 1972 as an inter-university institute to perform basic research. The ophthalmogenetic database founded by Prof J.W. Delleman and the systematic functional analysis of the visual system initiated by Prof H. Spekreijse made the institute an internationally recognized centre in vision research. In the late nineties the research objective focused increasingly on the functioning of the visual system and its relation to the brain.

Since 2010 it has run an annual Art of Neuroscience competition. In 2020 seven entries were chosen by Scientific American as Editors’ Picks.

Research Groups and Organization
The institute has 17 research groups who are housed in the NIN building and use the (lab)facilities and other services provided by the NIN. The employees of fourteen groups are employed at the NIN and led by director prof. Roelfsema. The employees of three groups are employed at the Amsterdam UMC and (formally) led by Amsterdam UMC management. Currently the groupleaders are:
Ingo Willuhn (Amsterdam UMC),
Chris De Zeeuw,
Alexander Heimel,
Inge Huitinga,
Andries Kalsbeek (Amsterdam UMC & NIN),
Maarten Kamermans,
Evgenia Salta,
Christian Keysers,
Maarten Kole,
Christiaan Levelt,
Christian Lohmann,
Pieter Roelfsema,
Serge Dumoulin
Eus Van Someren,
Joost Verhaagen,
Susanne La Fleur (Amsterdam UMC),
Valeria Gazzola.

Research projects
In November 2020 the institute got funding from the Start2Cure Foundation for a project to investigate the potential of a gene therapy approach to treat multiple sclerosis and to identify the genes involved in the production of myelin and in repairing nerve fibers.

They are involved in research into artificial vision. In December 2020 they published results of their significant study implanting electrodes into macaque monkeys. Shapes of letters were directly transmitted into the brains of the monkeys and they were able to respond to them without actually seeing them.

Grants and Prizes
Many of the institute's scientists are recipients of prestigious grants, awards and distinctions, including European Research Council laureates, VIDI/VICI grant holders. Several of its principal investigators are members of national and international academies: Chris de Zeeuw is a member of the KNAW and Christian Keysers is a member of the Young Academy of Europe.

Research Infrastructure
One of the strong points of the NIN is its research infrastructure. The institute host several two-photon excitation microscopy setups to perform in vivo brain imaging at the cellular and sub-cellular level, high density EEG labs, multi-electrode recording systems. The institute also hosts a large mechanical workshop, which provides technical support to its research staff and helps co-develop new research tools. Additionally, the NIN is an important stakeholder in the state of the art Magnetic resonance imaging Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging hosting 3T and 7T MRI systems for human neuroscience, which is situated in the same premises.

title: The Night They Took Miss Beautiful

text:
The Night They Took Miss Beautiful is a 1977 American made-for-television drama film appearing on the NBC network that was produced by Don Kirshner. The film features a large number of stars in a story about "skyjacking beauty queens" on a Consolidated PBY Catalina. The passengers include five beauty pageant contestants, their entourage, and a secret agent carrying a vial of a secret and highly fatal biological warfare toxin that if opened can cause a pandemic.

Plot
Following a Miss Universe-style contest in Miami, Florida, the five semi-finalists are flown to Nassau, Bahamas in a flying boat along with the American contestant's stage mother; the group's escort, Kate Malloy (Stella Stevens); Miss Beautiful Master of Ceremonies Marv Barker (Phil Silvers) and a deadheading pilot, Paul Fabiani (Gary Collins).

At the airport, no one notices two men in flight mechanic's coveralls board the aircraft and conceal themselves. The two, members of a Symbionese Liberation Army-type revolutionary terrorist group, hijack the aircraft, killing the co-pilot when he attempts to send a warning over the radio. The surviving pilot lowers the aircraft to 200 feet to avoid radar and lands on a small uninhabited island that has World War II-vintage buildings. What the two terrorists do not know is that a deadly contagious nerve agent is aboard.

Awaiting the kidnapped passengers is Layla Burden (Sheree North), de facto leader of the terrorists who will kill the captives one by one until a $5 million ransom is paid.

Back at the small Miami airport the flying boat left from, security manager Mike O'Toole (Chuck Connors) meets two government agents, who are not from the Federal Bureau of Investigation but from an unnamed government agency with higher authority.  The two agents are accompanied by several soldiers wearing American combat uniforms without insignia carrying automatic weapons.

Mike is shocked that the government agents not only have no intention of paying the ransom, but will instead get a fix on their position from the next radio transmission of their demands and launch an airstrike to kill the lot of them, including the hostages. Mike concludes that the captive's only hope rests with him.

Reception
The Night They Took Miss Beautiful was not critically reviewed, but People in its "Picks and Pans" review was succinct: "Terrorists hold a planeload of beauty pageant finalists for ransom in this TV movie starring Phil Silvers, Stella Stevens, Sheree North and Chuck Connors. Better they should keep them."

In a later 2007 DVD release, The Night They Took Miss Beautiful was bundled with The Woman Hunter, a 1972 made-for-television mystery film.

title: Snow White (franchise)

text:
Snow White is a Disney media franchise that began in 1937 with the theatrical release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It is based on the 1812 fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.

Feature films

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first full-length animated feature film and the first Disney animated feature film. In 1989, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Snow White (2025)

In late October 2016, a live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was announced, with Erin Cressida Wilson writing the script and Marc Platt producing. The remake expands upon the story of the 1937 film, and includes new songs written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. By September 2019, Marc Webb signed on to direct the film. In June 2021, Rachel Zegler was cast as Snow White and it was also reported that production would begin in 2022. The film is scheduled for release on March 22, 2025.

Comics
A comic strip adaptation of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released to coincide with the release of the film. The comic strip was written by Merrill de Marris and drawn by Hank Porter, both staff at Walt Disney Pictures.

The original strip ran on Sundays from December 12, 1937 to April 24, 1938 and was distributed by King Features Syndicate. The sequence ran in Disney's Silly Symphony slot, as a Sunday topper for Mickey Mouse.

The strip used a number of story ideas that were ultimately abandoned in the film, including a more elaborate and comical meeting between the Prince and Snow White (in which Snow White creates a "dummy" of her dream prince, which the real Prince sneaks into), and an entire storyline in which the Evil Queen kidnaps the Prince to prevent him from saving Snow White. Both of these abandoned concepts were notably recycled for use in Sleeping Beauty.

The comic was packaged and released as a comic book in 1938, 1944, 1951, 1987 and 1995 by Whitman Comics, Dell, Gold Key, Gladstone and Marvel.

Mondadori, the Italian publisher of Disney comics, produced various stories in comic book format featuring characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for Italian (and eventually European) consumption: the first such story, originally serialized in 1939 in the weekly magazine Paperino e altre avventure, was Biancaneve e il mago Basilisco (Snow White and Basilisk the Wizard) by Federico Pedrocchi (script) and Nino Pagot (art), a direct sequel to the American comic strip adaptation where Snow White's infant son is kidnapped by an evil wizard and rescued by the Seven Dwarfs. The following year, Pedrocchi and Pagot produced another story starring the Seven Dwarfs. Several other Italian stories, often with scripts by Guido Martina and art by Romano Scarpa or Luciano Bottaro, were published in the 1950s and 1960s.

title: Auckland House School, Shimla

text:
Auckland House School is a co-educational school in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. It was founded by George Eden (Lord Auckland), Governor-General of India, in 1836. The school originally served 32 students. Lord Auckland sold the school in 1868; the local school board moved the institution to Lakkar Bazaar in 1869. Auckland was rated among India's top schools in a survey by Mainline Media and The Pioneer awarded the school an A+++ rating based on a perception survey conducted amidst the public and academicians. It is affiliated to ICSE. Today, the School is managed by The Church of North India (CNI).

History
Auckland House School has an interesting history that dates back to 1836 when Lord Auckland, the Governor-General at the time, purchased the house. Later, when the Viceroys moved elsewhere, the school authorities bought the house in 1868. In 1864, Rev. J.B. D'Aquilar initiated the idea of establishing a school for girls to provide them with quality education based on Christian principles. The Church-related ladies group in Dalhousie gave shape to this idea, and the school was initially planned to be set up in Dharamshala. However, at the behest of the wife of George Edward Lynch Cotton, it was founded in Shimla in 1866 at Holly Lodge on Jakhu Hill and was known as 'The Punjab Girls School.' The school started with 32 students, and Mrs. Mackinnon was the Headmistress at the time. In 1904, Miss Strong from Cheltenham Ladies College became the Headmistress, and the school gained popularity, earning the name "The Cheltenham College of India." In 1905, the school building suffered extensive damage during the Kangra earthquake, resulting in the Governors' decision to demolish it and build a new one on the same site. The construction of the new building began in December 1920 and was completed by January 1921. From 1908 to 1952, St Hilda's Society, Lahore, substantiated the school with principals and staff, during which time Indian girls started to be admitted. Students from various countries, including Thailand, Ethiopia, Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand, were enrolled at the newly built Auckland House, which resumed classes after the earthquake. In 1962, the School acquired the "Belvedere" estate, which is now the boys' campus, marking another milestone in its expansion. Auckland House School provides education to the children of parents who work in various countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. It also accommodates children whose parents work in the Armed Forces or Central Government, offering them a consistent education through the 'boarding house' option. Over the years, the school has grown from a small institution with 32 students to one of the finest in India, boasting a strength of over 1400 students.

House System

Each house at Auckland House School, named after a significant catholic figure,  has its own color, motto, and crest. Students are assigned to a house when they join the school and participate in various inter-house competitions and events throughout the academic year. These competitions include sports, debates, music, drama, and other extracurricular activities. The students also take part in community service projects and other social initiatives under their respective house banners.

The house system is an integral part of the school's ethos and culture. The school also has a housemaster or housemistress for each house, who acts as a mentor and guide for the students.

title: New Fraternal Jewish Association

text:
The New Fraternal Jewish Association was founded in Toronto in January 1960 by approximately 200 former members of the United Jewish People's Order who had left UJPO for not being critical enough of the Soviet Union. The split was the culmination of four years of debate within the Communist-aligned UJPO after revelations by J. B. Salsberg of the extent of antisemitism in the Soviet Union under Stalin and Khrushchev. Founded by Sam Lipshitz and Morris Biderman but led through much of its existence by Salsberg, the NFJA functioned as a left-wing, pro-Israel and non-Communist fraternal organization. Salsberg served as president of NFJA several times and wrote a column in its publication, Fraternally Yours. Lipshitz edited Fraternally Yours from 1960 until his death in 2000.

title: The Outlook (British magazine)

text:
The Outlook (sometimes just Outlook) was a British weekly periodical, sometimes described as a "review" and sometimes as a "political magazine". The strapline ran on from the title, thus The Outlook: In Politics, Life, Letters, and the Arts. It has been described as the successor to the avant-garde New Review, which had been established in 1889 by W. E. Henley and published works by writers such as Joseph Conrad, Henry James and H. G. Wells before closing in December 1897 due to low circulation figures.

Following the resignation of Henley as editor of the New Review in 1897, Outlook was launched in February 1898 by George Wyndham, who had been involved in Henley's publication. Wyndham installed Percy Hurd as editor of the new magazine. Conrad was engaged as a contributor from the outset and contributed until 1906. He described it at the time of launch:  There were contemporary claims that it was financed by Cecil Rhodes, with whom Wyndham had a close relationship, and Scott Cohen notes that "balanced and thoughtful" contributions from people such as Rudyard Kipling and Max Beerbohm were secondary to "providing news and commentary on imperial affairs. More often than not, the Outlook reported on imperial politics and policy in a tone of shrill jingoism that differed markedly from the sober reflection which had characterized its predecessor."

Wyndham was forced by pressure of his work as a Member of Parliament to withdraw from involvement with the magazine in 1904. By now supporting the Tariff Reform League of Joseph Chamberlain, Outlook was bought by Charles Sydney Goldman, who had made a fortune from his involvement in mining in Transvaal. Goldman appointed James Louis Garvin as editor. Garvin employed people such as Edward Grigg, William Beach Thomas and E. C. Bentley, and also published work by Sara Jeanette Duncan. Under his guidance, the magazine supported the Conservative Party against the Liberal Party in the 1906 United Kingdom general election. He was unable to make the venture profitable and left in January 1908 to become editor of The Observer.

Outlook remained a supporter of the Conservative cause following the departure of Garvin. Although he detested the work, the poet and socialist Basil Bunting wrote reviews and articles for the magazine from February 1927 and, although inexperienced, was appointed its music critic in October of that year. He remained until the magazine ceased publication in 1928 and noted that

According to Bunting, the closure was due to "a libel action that it didn't want to face."

title: CS Podgoria Pâncota

text:
Clubul Sportiv Podgoria Pâncota is a Romanian professional football club based in Pâncota, Arad County, Romania, founded in 1923, under the name of Spartak Pâncota. The club is currently a member of the Liga IV, fourth tier of the Romanian football league system. The best period of the team based in Arad County was during the first part of the 2010s, when it reached the second division, under the name of Șoimii Pâncota.

History

Early Years
The first document dates from 1923, at that time the team was called  Spartak Pâncota. The team played in a landscaped garden on the site of the markets and the colors were green and white and played in the Western League with similar teams from Șiria, Lipova, Salonta, Arad, etc. Representative members of the batch at the time were: Beszeny, Vagalau, Cornel Vuia, Stark, Schmidth, Chebeleu, Hipp, Pohaner, Badovics, Ardelean, Coroban. In 1938, at the initiative of players the club changed its name from Spartak to Șoimii (The Falcons).

After the Second World War, the team played on the current stadium, named after the club.

In 1967–68 season, with Simion Buda and Iosif Retter among the players, Șoimii, won the first regional championship title in their history. Pâncotanii also had a period of force after the Romanian Revolution, finishing first in 1991–92, 1997–98, 2006–07 (as CNM Pâncota) in the Arad county league.

Top leagues

Șoimii Pâncota promoted to the 3rd league after 2011–12 successful season, finishing first in Liga IV Arad and winning the promotion play-off against CSM Vulcan. Also won the Romanian Cup county phase.

At the end of 2013–14 Liga III, they finished 1st promoting for the first time ever in Liga II. In their first season in second league they finished at 9th place on the table.

At the end of the 2015–16 Liga II season, Șoimii saved from the relegation instead of teams with tradition in Romanian football, like Universitatea Cluj or FC Bihor Oradea, but in the summer of 2016, after Pâncota Municipality withdrew their financial support and forced the team to leave the stadium, the club was seen in the situation of not being able to continue the activity. Then in the last minute before the start of the championship, Pavel Piroș, the president of the club, decided to present at the matches with youth players. As a result, they managed to get some of the biggest counter-performance of Romanian football, 0–18 against Juventus București, 0–16 against CS Afumați and 0–14 against Foresta Suceava.

The club was re-organized in 2016, under a new name, Podgoria Pâncota and enrolled in the lowest division.

title: Hesperocodon

text:
Hesperocodon hederaceus, synonym Wahlenbergia hederacea, also known as the ivy-leaved bellflower, is a species of flowering plant that is found throughout Europe. It is the only species in the genus Hesperocodon. The delicate, patch-forming, hairless perennial herb has thin, creeping stems about 20 cm in length. Its pale green leaves are long-stalked and have an ivy-shaped, rounded structure. These leaves can be described as having a cordate shape and are approximately 5–12 mm long and wide. The plant has erect, solitary, pale blue flowers in summer and autumn, with bell-shaped corolla with 5 short lobes. The flowers are 6–10 mm long x 5–8 mm wide and sit on fine stalks 1–4 cm long. It is suggested that the long pedicels are an adaptation to assist in seed dispersal.

Habitat
Hesperocodon hederaceus is found in cool, moist and boggy, partially-shaded areas, typically with acidic soils, such as woodlands, streams, pastures, heaths and beside rivulets. The plant thrives in short-grassed areas beside streams, with moist, acidic soils, and is almost never found in basic soils and stagnant water. They usually occur in small, scattered groups. The abundance of the ivy-leaved bellflower has been declining throughout the 1900s due to the loss of their habitat.

Distribution
Hesperocodon hederaceus is native to Europe and commonly found in Southern England, and Wales, but also in North West England, Western Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Western Germany, Spain, and Portugal.

text:
Imenmes (fl. c. 1300 BC) was an ancient Egyptian official, who was overseer of the cattle of Amun, probably around the time of the late Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Little is known about him, but several items in the Louvre are related to him, including the Hymn of Imenmes on a stele and a gamebox, known as a senet, which belonged to one of his children. The stele contains a hymn of 28 lines related to the worship of Osiris. In the upper curve of the stele, a double offering scene depicts Imenmes, his wife and one of his sons, and below this, framed in boxes, are the couple's six other children kneeling.
