title: Ioan A. Bassarabescu

text:
Ioan Alecu Bassarabescu (commonly rendered I. A. Bassarabescu; December 17, 1870 - March 27, 1952) was a Romanian comedic writer, civil servant and politician, who served one term (1926–1927) in the Senate of Romania. His work, mainly in prose form, is remembered as an accomplished and noteworthy contribution to Romanian literature, capturing the dreary life of provincial clerks in the early 20th century. Not interested in producing a singular novel, like his mentor Gustave Flaubert, he concentrated instead on the sketch story genre.

In his debut stage, Bassarabescu belonged to Junimea, the mainly literary and politically conservative club. He was friends with Titu Maiorescu, Junimea leader, and with the Junimist author Ioan Alexandru Brătescu-Voinești (with whom he is often compared). Married into a political family, Bassarabescu had joined the Conservative Party by 1906, and, although still mainly active as a teacher, received high appointments in the bureaucracy.

During World War I, Bassarabescu he supported the Central Powers and was even appointed Prefect of Prahova County under a German-led occupation. This put his political career on hold until 1925, when he joined the People's Party. Moving into right-wing populism in the 1930s, Bassarabescu had stints in the National Agrarian Party and the National Christian Party, and joined the official National Renaissance Front in 1939. His last years were spent in seclusion: losing his fortune to Allied carpet bombing, stripped of his Romanian Academy membership by the communist regime, he died suddenly in a road accident.

Biography

Early life and debut
Bassarabescu descended from boyar families that occupied court positions in Wallachia: his father, Alecu, was a pitar; his mother, Elisa, was the daughter of a staroste, relatives with General Romulus Boteanu. Alecu had received a progressive education at the Saint Sava Academy; his colleagues there later instigated the 1848 Revolution in Wallachia. Although he had settled in the Danube port of Giurgiu, his own family was more closely associated with Bucharest, the national capital. Noted members of this branch include Nicolae "Nae" Bassarabescu, who worked as a journalist in the liberal-radical press, later setting up the first newsstand chain in town, and composer George Bassarabescu.

One of the couple's seven children, Ioan Alecu was born in Giurgiu, an ethnic Romanian baptized into the Romanian Orthodox Church. In 1877, the family left the city because of Ottoman bombardments during the Romanian War of Independence, settling in Bucharest. The eight-year-old Bassarabescu was first enlisted at school in Bucharest's Yellow Ward, and later in the Green Ward.

Enrolled at Saint Sava National College, Bassarabescu was classmates with various intellectual luminaries and political figures of his generation, among them Constantin Banu, Ion Livescu and Scarlat Orăscu. Influenced by their teacher, classical scholar Anghel Demetriescu, they formed their own literary club, which held its meetings in the Saint Sava basement. Together, they put out the makeshift literary review Armonia, described by an aging Bassarabescu as polygraphed "with the faintest and least readable violet letters to have ever been used for writing in this world." It was soon replaced by a less makeshift periodical, the bi-monthly Studentul Român. Bassarabescu published his first short stories in that paper, and then in the youth review Generația Viitoare, before being hosted (with words of praise and encouragement) by the literary supplement of Românul newspaper.

Studentul Român only put out three issues, closing down due to a "lack of funds", but not, as Bassarabescu quipped, to a "lack of scientific and literary contributions". By this time, the Saint Sava pupils began attending literary- and social-themed conferences at the Romanian Atheneum. It was there that Bassarabescu met the successful writer Alexandru Vlahuță, who gave him some of his first literary pointers. Soon, Bassarabescu's pieces were hosted by Revista Nouă, a literary journal managed by Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu (1893). This was an impressive feat, to judge by Bassarabescu's own words: "imposingly grand" and "too expensive" venture, Revista Nouă had fascinated him and his Saint Sava colleagues. He also dabbled in parodic poetry, some of which was published by the Symbolist review, Literatorul.

By 1896, after such permutations, Bassarabescu was firmly affiliated with Junimea, contributing to the Junimist tribune, Convorbiri Literare, and cultivating a friendship with its founder, Titu Maiorescu. Like his generational colleague Ioan Alexandru Brătescu-Voinești, Bassarabescu joined in just as the Convorbiri Literare, for long disregarded by Maiorescu, was entering its decline stage. As noted by literary historian Zigu Ornea, the stories of Bassarabescu and Brătescu-Voinești were a rare diversion, the magazine having grown "monotonous", "suffocated by bulky specialized studies". Bassarabescu was not dissuaded by such problems: he would contribute to the magazine throughout most of his life. He managed to impress a wide range of professionals, from the Junimist novelist Duiliu Zamfirescu (who guessed in him a future "great writer") to the independent Ilarie Chendi.

Between his move from Revista Nouă to Junimea, Bassarabescu had enlisted at the Literature and Philosophy Faculty of the University of Bucharest (graduated 1897), while also working as a Finance Ministry clerk. At around that time, he had moved to Ploiești city, Prahova, where he would live for most of his life, and became a teacher of geography and French. Various sources have it that his relocation occurred in 1896 or 1897, but, according to literary historian George Călinescu, Bassarabescu had spent 1898 working as a substitute teacher in Focșani. Around that moment, his work appeared in the review Noutatea, put out in Iași by Berman Goldner-Giordano.

Political and literary rise

In January 1900, with the start of a new Convorbiri Literare series, Bassarabescu was co-opted onto the journal's editorial committee, overseen by geographer Grigore Antipa. According to Ornea, the panel membership evidenced in itself that political Junimism had mutated into eclecticism: Antipa was a National Liberal, and one regular member, Dimitrie Voinov, a socialist. Like other Convorbiri Literare contributors, Bassarabescu saw his work published in the more radical right-wing Sămănătorul magazine, but he did not necessarily identify with the Sămănătorul agenda. He was invited to publish there by his mentor Vlahuță, who rewarded his contribution with an original canvas by painter Nicolae Grigorescu. In 1903, he answered a similar call from Livescu, publishing in the new magazine Revista Teatrelor.

Politically, he leaned toward the mainstream Conservative Party, which had Maiorescu as chief doctrinaire. It is probable that Bassarabescu began frequenting the Ploiești Conservative chapter in or around 1901, making friends with political boss Temelie Dinescu, and courting his intellectual daughter, Ecaterina Dinescu. From about 1906, he registered formally with the Conservative Party.

In April 1904, Bassarabescu married Ecaterina Dinescu. The modest ceremony was compensated by a sizable dowry (including a family home on R. Stanian Street) and a honeymoon in Venice. Temelie Dinescu died just four months after the event, leaving them ownership of another home, located on a street that was named in his honor. Some time after, Ecaterina gave birth to a daughter, Maria-Elisabeta (whom both parents nicknamed Cireșica, "Little Cherry").

The first bound collection of Bassarabescu's novellas and stories was released (as Nuvele) in 1903, with Editura Socec. In 1907, Editura Minerva and Biblioteca pentru toți published two other selections, Vulturii ("The Eagles") and Norocul ("Luck"). With Mihail Sadoveanu, A. de Herz, Emil Gârleanu, George Ranetti and some others, he was employed by the National Theater Bucharest to work on professional translations of comedy and drama. As Livescu recounts, this was a project heralded by manager Pompiliu Eliade, who had recently been "appalled" by the poor-quality translations already in circulation. Bassarabescu was assigned to work on comedies by Georges Courteline, and, Livescu argues, did an "excellent" job. In 1908, Socec published his adaptation of a 15th-century farce, Master Pierre Pathelin (as Ovidiu Șicană). His wife also wrote poetry and prose, published in reviews such as Luceafărul, Convorbiri Critice or Epoca, usually under the pen name of Irena Mohor.

During those years, the Bassarabescu family played host to a long succession of writers visiting Ploiești. Bassarabescu became rather close friends with two senior figures on the cultural scene: the Ploiești literary theorist Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea and satirist Ion Luca Caragiale. In March 1908, Bassarabescu affiliated with the prototype Romanian Writers' Society, and was elected a member of its steering committee. As such, he had a say in the scandal during which the Society, which was Christian-only, moved to reprimand a Jewish Romanian writer, Eugen Porn, and was in turn accused of antisemitism. Bassarabescu took a partisan position, acknowledging that some of Porn's concerns were valid, but concluding that Porn was rather the anti-Romanian.

A Freemason, he was proposed for membership in the Romanian Academy by Duiliu Zamfirescu and seconded by Maiorescu, themselves Freemasons. He was elected a corresponding member on March 25, 1909. Also in 1909, Socec published another selection of his writings, Noi și vechi ("New Ones and Old Ones"). Some two years later, Bassarabescu received high appointment in the Education Ministry, as Inspector for the Arts for Minister Constantin C. Arion. In 1912, he was commissioned as Inspector-General for Education.

Germanophile and Prefect
The onset of World War I marked a turn in Bassarabescu's life. During Romania's neutrality years (1914–1916), he adapted himself to the Germanophile sentiments of his Junimist and Conservative peers. He gave lectures at the Bucharest Conservative Club, on topics such as Realpolitik and the British Empire. He also joined Junimea geographer Simion Mehedinți in putting out Dumineca Poporului review, but contributed his trademark satirical pieces, rather than political articles. Such works were grouped in the 1916 volume Nenea ("Old Chap"), published with Alcaly.

Eventually, Ferdinand I of Romania declared war on Austria-Hungary, the German Empire and the other Central Powers. It came as a shock for the Germanophiles. Although subject to the Romanian Army draft, Bassarabescu managed to avoid being called into active duty, and was instead appointed captain of a military reserve in Mogoșoaia train station. Through their personal contacts, both Mehedinți and Maiorescu tried to get Bassarabescu appointed to an even safer position, at a postal censorship bureau.

In the second half of 1916, the Central Powers broke through Romania's line of defenses, forcing the government and the Army to withdraw northeast, into Moldavia; Bucharest was abandoned. In these circumstances, Bassarabescu checked himself into a Bucharest hospital, claiming that he suffered from a "severe cold". This allowed him to stay in German-occupied territory, and, in the Romanian loyalist ranks, labeled him a probable deserter. As historian Lucian Boia notes, the suspicion is still standing: an entry in Maiorescu's diary shows that Bassarabescu had left the hospital on at least one occasion during the interval of his supposed illness.

In the wake of the Battle of Bucharest, Bassarabescu was held in captivity and processed by the German Army. Alexandru Tzigara-Samurcaș, a Junimist in the German ranks, intervened for his release, and then employed him at the Bucharest Police Prefecture — Bassarabescu served there as Divisional Chief from February to April 1917. The Germans then forced Bassarabescu back to his adoptive Ploiești and to his schoolteacher's career. According to writer Victor Eftimiu, who knew and befriended Bassarabescu, this assignment suited him perfectly: "Himself a shy man [like his characters,] he was content with sticking to his provincial schoolteacher's job."

A year later, with peace negotiations under way between the Central Powers and Romania, Bassarabescu was reintegrated into the civil service by the emergency cabinet of Alexandru Marghiloman, a Germanophile Conservative. On May 7, 1918, he was made Prefect of Prahova County. He lasted there for a full nine months, earning respect from the populace and defending its interests in disputes with the German occupiers.

The Armistice with Germany on the Western Front revolutionized Romania's positioning and brought Marghiloman's administration to a standstill. On the very day of the Armistice, Bassarabescu handed in his resignation. The loyalist regime which took over suspended Bassarabescu from his teaching post, and subjected him to a military inquiry. He was eventually cleared, even praised for his efforts as Prefect, and allowed to resume his work in education. He also resumed his literary activity, which resulted in the 1919 volume Un dor împlinit ("A Satisfied Longing", Steinberg Publishers), followed in 1923 by another Socec edition of Nuvele and Moș Stan ("Old Man Stan", Editura Cultura Națională). In 1923, he joined the Writers' Society literary tour of Transylvania, sharing the stage with Eugeniu Botez, Al. T. Stamatiad, Ion Minulescu and others.

Conservative decline and 1925 return
Throughout the war and down to Marghiloman's death, Bassarabescu held on to the presidency of a declining Prahova Conservative chapter. The whole party, now redesigned into a Conservative-Progressive group, was becoming numerically insignificant. According to Bassarabescu's own claim, this was because, in post-war Greater Romania, "mediocrity", "obscurantism" and "fishing in murky waters" had become the standard of political life. Marghiloman, he argued, was a "sailor" in an age that preferred "corsairs". Historian Dorin Stănescu places blame for the party's decline on Bassarabescu himself, noting that his investigation for treason contributed to its dismal results in the election of November 1919.

In the mid 1920s, Bassarabescu himself abandoned the Conservative-Progressives, and made a successful return to national politics. He joined the People's Party (PP) of Alexandru Averescu. In exchange, he was made Vice President of the PP section in Prahova and, following the June 1926 election, a Senator for that county. In office only until the 1927 recall, he worked on the short story selections Un om în toată firea ("A Fully Grown Man"), published that year with Socec, and Domnu Dincă ("Mister Dincă"), which came out, in 1928, at Casa Școalelor. Two more small volumes of his works were published in the Cartea Românească digest: Spre Slatina ("Onwards to Slatina"), then Pe drezină ("On the Draisine"). In 1930, the Grand Orient of Romania elected Bassarabescu one of its Masonic Lodge Officers—demoted to honorary member in 1933, and affiliated with the regional Libertatea Lodge in 1937. There was also a proposal to make him a full member of the Romanian Academy, where, in 1928, he was giving a formal speech narrating "two epochs in Romanian literature". According to his own recollections, although he passed one round of voting, he was eventually sidelined and another candidate took the seat (1931).

In 1932, the PP split between a conservative group, headed by Averescu, and a radical one, led by Octavian Goga. Bassarabescu sided with the latter, leaving the PP to join Goga's National Agrarian Party (PNA). This was a problematic political move: the PNA was firmly planted on the antisemitic right-wing, albeit its prejudice was mild enough to even allow some Jews into party ranks. At the time, his more virulently antisemitic colleague, Brătescu-Voinești, was gathering support for purging the literary world of what he called "abject" Jewish influences. Bassarabescu occasionally joined in, such as when he cosigned Brătescu's letter to novelist Mihail Sadoveanu, an ambiguous document which implied that Sadoveanu had given in to such Jewish influences.

Three years later, Bassarabescu followed the National Agrarians into their merger with the National-Christian Defense League, and became a member of the resulting National Christian Party (PNC). This was a more evidently antisemitic organization, unwelcoming of all Jewish PNA members, and publishing open statements against "the kikes". As noted by Bassarabescu himself, he was still a PNC member in May 1938, "upon the chief's [Goga's] death". His literary work at the time was an anthology of Romanian literature, edited in collaboration with Petre Haneș (published 1937). In 1935, Convorbiri Literare, in the process of recovering unknown writings by the late Maiorescu, also published four letters that Maiorescu had sent to Bassarabescu decades before.

Final years
Bassarabescu benefited from the rise of an authoritarian single-party regime during the early month of World War II. He made a publicized bid to join the National Renaissance Front, and was accepted into its ranks on Christmas Day, 1939. In 1940, Casa Școalelor put out his Opere complete ("Complete Works"). As a guest of the Romanian Atheneum, Bassarabescu introduced the public to the largely forgotten work of a 19th-century female writer, Sofia Cocea.

He was by then a highly decorated member of the establishment: a recipient of the Order of the Crown (commander), the Order of the Star of Romania (officer) and the Cultural Merit Order (officer). His work focused on recollections from an earlier age, such as a 1942 piece about his youthful encounters with Vlahuță, in Gazeta Cărților, a literary newspaper. In 1943, Editura Cugetarea put on sale his definitive collection of Proză ("Prose"), which included some of his memoirs. As Eftimiu notes, they are self-deriding pieces, acknowledging "a mediocre destiny".

The Bassarabescu family fortunes turned during the carpet bombing campaign of 1944. While the Bassarabescus fled for their safety to nearby Slănic, their Stanian Street lodging was destroyed; they moved to their Dinescu Street residence. Upon war's end, Bassarabescu was also targeted for political retaliation. In 1948, the new communist regime stripped Bassarabescu and 112 others of their Academy membership.

The same year, Ecaterina Bassarabescu died, leaving Ioan Alecu to be cared for by daughter Maria-Elisabeta. The latter was a career woman, who had graduated law school and was among the first Romanian female judges. On March 27, 1952, Bassarabescu himself died, the result of a car accident in Ploiești. Although Călinescu and Eftimiu simply note this is a fact, later sources describe the circumstances of this accident as generally suspicious. In death, Bassarabescu was recoverable. According to Eftimiu, communism allowed Bassarabescu's work to be published "in tens of thousands of copies", "a circulation that they have never had before." The Giurgiu County library in his native city bears his name since 1991.

Literary work
The chief sources of inspiration behind Bassarabescu's comedic and realistic style were two Junimist figures: the Romanian classic Ion Luca Caragiale, and his own friend, Brătescu-Voinești. In their immediate temporal setting, Brătescu-Voinești and Bassarabescu were both influential on other noted, non-Junimist, authors of short prose: Emil Gârleanu and (for a while) Mihail Sadoveanu. Beyond this generation, they also influenced the novels or novellas of Lucia Mantu, Marius "G. M. Vlădescu" Mircu and Cezar Petrescu.

The eye of such writers is firmly focused on a class of individuals, described for instance in Călinescu: "the isolated folk of provincial boroughs, small-time functionaries of the Romanian Railways, minuscule bourgeois women grinding the great passions of life." Contrary to Brătescu-Voinești, he did not depict such men and women as existential losers or "misfits", but as entirely content with their mediocrity, their "terrestrial ideal": "these people", Călinescu writes, "do not suffer, because they do not aim for, or better said they do not foresee, any existence that would be better than theirs." The telegraphist Domițian, protagonist of Vulturi, identifies perfection with a hefty state pension; Mister Guță, of the eponymous story, will only accept the company of women who share his obsession for oleander flowers.

As another distinguishing feature, Bassarabescu replaces Caragiale's sarcasm with a "lyrical", "tenderly grotesque", layer, while offering "the surprise of a humane bedding" within the provincial soul. His smile, Victor Eftimiu notes, was one "of compassion", his gaze "filtered by tears", like that of a Romanian Anton Chekhov. Literary critic Eugen Lovinescu finds, in most of Bassarabescu's writings, "the same family atmosphere with its links of solidarity, with all the hardships of finding their daughters husbands, with sisters that will devour each other out of love, with brothers that will carry on their shoulders the maintenance of their entire household". This, Lovinescu believes, was the quintessential "Romanian family" of the urban milieu, with only a lack of "fantasy" and failure at pacing preventing Bassarabescu from producing the great Romanian urban novel. (According to Eftimiu, there is in fact an unpublished Bassarabescu novel, as well as a screenplay.)

Bassarabescu's most lyrical pieces may be characterologic studies of sheer timidity, or other debilitating emotions. In writing Un om în toată firea, Bassarabescu shared his own experience as a schoolteacher. He found it impossible to fail a grown man trying to pass his primary school exam, even after discovering that he steals notes from his own daughter. Elsewhere, a luncheon among family and friends end in collective weeping: people at the table morn their very victim, a long-suffering turkey "with a memorable past". This "tenderly grotesque" particularity came through another major influence on Bassarabescu, which distinguishes him among Caragiale's followers: Gustave Flaubert, whose ironic-but-sympathetic accounts of provincial life are at the source of Bassarabescu's "Bovaryistic literature". Such a melange, Călinescu writes, allowed Bassarabescu to cut "his own profile, with just a minimal literary activity." In Pe drezină, possibly his most Bovaryistic story, the female protagonist dreams of escaping her drab marriage (to an obese station master), for just a taste of life in the capital. Her ideal of what that life is largely shaped by her one-time visit to Bucharest's Gara de Nord.

Several of Bassarabescu's sketch story works as recognized as tiny masterpieces of the "still-life" variety. This means that they suggest a deep layer of meaning just by describing the assortments of a room, or an object apart, without any actual human presence. Acasă ("Home") is a careful inventory of a room seemingly rented by a partying and womanizing officer, including the half-pleading, half-threatening, letter he receives from his desperate supplier of "colonial goods". According to Călinescu, such works may even be paralleled to modern art in their studied depiction of "urban dreariness". For a relevant case, he cites the sketch story fragment: "At once, through the beer garden gates, a man showed up carrying with him a giant plank resting on a pole. On this plank, a poster. On the poster, in large handwriting and red paint: 'Gentlemen, today our buffet is serving you vanilla ice cream'."

title: Hari-Kuyō

text:
Hari-Kuyō () is the Japanese Buddhist and  Shinto Festival of Broken Needles, celebrated on February 8 in the Kanto region, but on December 8 in the Kyoto and Kansai regions. It is celebrated by women in Japan as a memorial to all the sewing needles broken in their service during the past year, and as an opportunity to pray for improved skills. It is also called the Needle Mass and Pin Festival. "Hari" means "needle" and the suffix "-kuyo" means "memorial", derived from a Sanskrit word pūjā or pūjanā, meaning "to bring offerings".

History
Hari-Kuyō began four hundred years ago as a way for housekeepers and professional needle-workers to acknowledge their work over the past years and respect their tools. In the animist traditions, items as well as humans, animals, plants, and objects are considered to have souls. This festival acknowledged the good given to people by their tools. Practitioners went to Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples to thank their broken needles for their help and service. This is in keeping with the philosophy of "not wasting" or "paying honor to the small things" exemplified in the concept of mottainai.

Modern practice
Festival-goers gather at shrines and temples, bringing their broken needles and pins. In a funereal atmosphere, the implements are laid to rest in tofu or konnyaku (soft jelly cakes) in a spirit of tenderness and gratitude.

"A small three-step altar is set up and hung with a sacred rope and strips of cut white paper which indicate a sanctified area. On the top step are offerings of fruit and sweet cakes. On the middle step is a cake of tofu and on the bottom step are various sewing accessories.

On this day, the seamstresses take a holiday and bring their old needles to the temple to stick them in a piece of tofu or konnyaku. Threads of the five Buddhist colors were used with the needles."

title: Birdhouse (album)

text:
Birdhouse is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Fred Anderson, released in 1996 on Okka Disk.

The title refers to Anderson's Chicago club that closed in 1978. Three pieces are played by a quartet with pianist Jim Baker and long-time collaborators bassist Harrison Bankhead and drummer Hamid Drake. "Like Sonny" is dedicated to saxophonist Sonny Stitt.
The final song, "Waiting for M.C.", is an Anderson-Drake duo from the sessions for the album Destiny (1994) by pianist Marilyn Crispell

Reception

In her review for AllMusic, Joslyn Layne stated: "Birdhouse finds tenor sax great Fred Anderson leading his quartet through four originals that cover a spectrum of moods."

The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "Birdhouse never quite fires, perhaps because the pianist is so restrictive, though 'Like Sonny', a tribute to Sonny Stitt with no hint of pastiche, is worth the wait."

Track listing
All compositions by Fred Anderson except as indicated
 "Birdhouse" - 18:55
 "Bernice" - 16:11
 "Like Sonny" - 15:33

title: Bromma Parish

text:
Bromma Parish () is a parish in Birka church district (kontrakt) in the Diocese of Stockholm, Sweden. The parish is located in Stockholm Municipality in Stockholm County. The parish forms its own pastorship. The parish is located in Västerort and includes the districts Södra Ängby, Norra Ängby, Bromma kyrka, Blackeberg, Mariehäll, Åkeslund and Riksby.

History
When the land ice retreated north from Stockholm, the whole of Bromma was still under water. Southern Bromma first rose out of the sea, followed by the northern part which became a rich agricultural area from about year 0 to the Viking Age. It would not be until the 19th century before Bromma had such a large population again. During the Viking Age, Bromma had plenty of watercourses and most of Bromma's most important villages and farms during the Viking Age and the Middle Ages (such as Ulvsunda, Linta, Glia, Nora, Riksby and Nockeby) were located by the strait that stretched from the current Ulvsundasjön-Lillsjön-Brommaplan-Judarn. In southern Bromma, however, there was another large village, Alsten. During the Middle Ages, various Catholic church institutions were the largest land and farm owners in Bromma, such as St. Clare's Priory. Until the 17th century, Bromma had been a small parish, but at this time was placed under St. Clara Parish (S:ta Clara församling) and later became an annex to Riddarholm Parish (Riddarholmsförsamlingen). It was not until 1896 that Bromma became an independent parish. A strong population increase and the growth of the new residential towns resulted in the parish being divided in 1955, when Västerled and Essinge Parishes were added.

Organisation
Bromma Parish was a local authority within the Bromma church district (kontrakt) (has previously belonged to Roslag's western church district until 1942, Stockholm church district until 1942 and Svartsjö church district until 1961) in Diocese of Stockholm until the change of relationship between the Church of Sweden and the Swedish state at the turn of the year 1999/2000. The Parish Clergy (part of the authority) was until 30 June 1991 responsible for the population registration and has from 1 July 1991 been responsible for the parish registration of its parishioners. The select vestry (kyrkofullmäktige) has been the parish's decision-making body. The parochial church council (kyrkorådet) has been the parish board and has had the ongoing responsibility for the administration and execution of decisions. The select vestry was added in 1932 and in 1934 the cemetery administration was taken over by the then newly established Stockholm City Cemeteries Authority (Stockholms stads kyrkogårdsnämnd). Until 1933, the parochial church council had been responsible for the funeral service, but after a decision by the select vestry, the responsibility was transferred to the cemeteries authority.

Churches
Bromma Church, is Stockholm's oldest building and probably began to be built in the 1160s as a round church.
Ängby Church, in Blackeberg was inaugurated in 1959.
Mariehäll Church, is built into a large monumental building in Mariehäll, which in addition to the church also houses meeting rooms and a number of apartments. In 1972, the original church hall was inaugurated as a church, but the building itself dates from 1925.
Famnen, is Bromma Parish's latest church facility and was inaugurated in 1986.

title: Mark Bolzern

text:
Mark Bolzern is one of the original pioneers of both the Internet, and of the Linux computer operating system. Bolzern was the founder of early Linux-specific community portals such as LinuxNews, LinuxMall, LinuxPro, LinuxGuru and PenguinPower. Bolzern was also the creator of the original plush  Tux mascot, based on the original drawing by  Larry Ewing. His work at LinuxMall allowed Bolzern to directly affect the Linux community with LinuxMall's support of various Linux events. His achievements play a significant role in the story of the book Rebel Code by author Glyn Moody

Education & Career
Bolzern graduated in 1976 from West Anchorage High school where, among other things, he first worked with a Monroe 1880 that was programmed via graphite marked cards in Octal and started his fascination with computers. Later Bolzern attended UAA (University of Alaska, Anchorage). During his studies there in the late 1970s, he helped test an early statewide multi-campus e-mail system. After a short year at Cal Poly Pomona (California Polytechnic State University), he transferred to UAF (University of Alaska, Fairbanks) where he studied Electrical Engineering and also played with the Data General Nova computer system used in the development ALOHAnet, where low level error correcting packet protocols CSMA/CD were pioneered, which are now fundamental underlying protocols of TCP/IP, Ethernet, WiFi and the Internet.

After being denied access by administrators, Bolzern cracked the University of Alaska statewide computer network in 1978, doing something they didn't think was possible by a standard user. He used the central Honeywell 66 in Fairbanks to send emails to all system users inviting them use his software to participate in an Apple II user group via an early shared account he created, and then set up group communication via mailx (Mail Extended) an enhanced version of the standard Unix command mail. It was these extended features that Bolzern was able to use to create  one of the first Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) in history.

The Apple access (terminal emulation, etc.) was performed free via software called UACNCAP written and distributed by Bolzern and an associate that made any Apple II with an original model Hayes 300 baud modem into a remote terminal for this GCOS system, later an IBM PC version called PC Communicator (By Bolzern, before PC-Talk) was released as well. GCOS was a very early variant of Unix, and is why the field in Linux where the user's full name goes is called the GCOS field.

Bolzern also used this software himself to continue accessing the system from his third-floor Lathrop Hall dorm room, via wires to the one phone for the entire floor, down the hall. Also from anywhere else he happened to be with his Apple II and Hayes Modem, as well as to communicate with his family back home via email, and continued after graduation in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. What Bolzern had created at UAF soon became used by university teachers and students for years thereafter.

While at UAF, Bolzern worked at Motorola as an installer and radio technician, and after graduation he took a job with IBM after scoring second highest of anyone else hired that year on the qualification exams. While at IBM he quickly learned how to repair just about any office equipment that IBM had at the time and was influential in recognizing the value of the desktop PC. He ultimately, with IBM management support, resigned IBM and moved to sales of the new machines at ComputerLand, where he sold the first 50 or so PCs delivered within the State of Alaska.

General Computer Services, Inc. (GCS) was founded in 1981, and incorporated on September 17, 1982. It was Bolzern's consulting company for anything and everything PC-related. He created commercial Job Cost and Estimating software, created an early ISP (Internet Service Provider) for the State of Alaska.  It was during this time that he founded the Anchorage PC and Compatibles User group which later became Alaska Computer Society and also “Computer Talk” the World's first (as far as we know) radio talk show about computers.

After moving to Aurora, Colorado, Bolzern worked and advised with the Colorado Department of Education, where he built a statewide legislation notification system and helped get computers into the public school system, and then USWest with Unix and Informix SQL database systems for accounting and information management. He also travelled as a speaker on many topics related to computers.

It was in the early 1990s that Linux was born and Bolzern soon became one of the more outspoken advocates for development and adoption.

WGS (Work Group Solutions) was founded in Aurora, Colorado on June 23, 1993, originally as a subsidiary of GCS. Its big/main achievement was introducing the first commercially-sold software for Linux, Flagship, which was a Clipper compiler for Unix. Then shortly thereafter, LinuxPro. LinuxPro was one of the better known distributions or distros of the early years of Linux. Even winning a Best of Comdex Award (1995) presented by noted science fiction writer Jerry Pournelle.

WGS shortly thereafter received a letter stating the company was being sued for using the word Linux, by a mental patient that had trademarked it. Up until then, Linus Torvalds had said he wanted the word Linux to be freely available for anyone. Unfortunately, that could only be achieved by having a non-profit group administer it.

Phil Hughes (of Linux Journal), John "maddog" Hall (Of Digital Equipment Corp), and Bolzern, among others, assembled a group to fight the lawsuit; eventually it was settled by outright giving the trademark directly to Linus Torvalds, with his agreement that LI (Linux International) would manage it. John "maddog" Hall, and Bolzern made sure that the trademark was put into Linus's name who by agreement made Linux International (LI)  the perpetual administrator. What was then Linux International has since morphed into the Linux Foundation.

In late 1995 Bolzern founded the Colorado Linux Users and Enthusiasts (CLUE) bringing local high school students in Aurora, CO and businesses who were interested in Linux together with others who used Linux and presented on many topics. Activities included Linux install fests allowing new users to learn more about Linux and the various distros available along with more about the power of open source programs and specifically Linux.

In May and June 1998 articles Bolzern wrote were published regarding the Linux Base System project and commenting on the growth of the Linux Community.

WGS transitioned into LinuxMall in about 1996, and was by 2000 a firm of 60 employees based in Aurora, Colorado, and the "largest online shopping center with software and products for the Linux computer operating system."  It was expected to have an initial public offering, but a stock market downturn led, instead, to a reverse acquisition in which it was bought for $25 million by Ebiz Enterprises, an already-publicly listed firm, which was to change its name to LinuxMall.com after the transaction.

From April to March 2000, several articles were published by and about Microsoft  in relation to Linux with several penned by Bolzern himself, In addition under the PenguinPower name many collectables designed by Bolzern were manufactured by LinuxMall such as this Tux pin being worn by Peter H. Salus.

Unfortunately, the growth of LinuxMall was cut short in the early 2000s by the bursting of the tech bubble and non-delivery of a 10 million dollar check the VCs had said was already in the mail, and the subsequent merger activities. Bolzern himself semi-retired to travel with and take care of his wife Virginia who was stricken with cancer.

As of February 2012 Mark Bolzern now serves as Chief Technical Officer at Northern Utility Services, LLC in Anchorage, Alaska where he originally grew up. This Autobiographical page also has more details regarding Mark's professional achievements.

Causes and Philosophy
Bolzern's involvement in what ultimately became the Linux Foundation was significant.  His work includes LI, which Bolzern initially structured as a vendor organization, responsible for the LSB (Linux Standard Base), LPI (Linux Professional Institute) professional Linux certification, and Linux Trademark administration, among other things.

Family
Born in Zurich, Switzerland, the Bolzern Family (Father, Mother, Mark) arrived from Spain via ship along with their VW bus, immigrating via Ellis island just after it permanently closed.

Bolzern and his family arrived in Alaska via Florida, Texas, and California, where his brother Ronald was born, and after waiting for the Alaska Highway to open arrived in Anchorage in 1962, just prior to the famous 1964 earthquake. He was naturalized as a U.S. Citizen along with his parents on June 17, 1966,

Bolzern spent several years out of the limelight traveling with and caring for his wife Virginia who was dealing with breast cancer until her death on March 8, 2007. During that time they were both involved in an Encouragement Ministry called BBtJ

title: Max Steel (film)

text:
Max Steel is a 2016 superhero film based on the eponymous action-figure line by Mattel, which was co-produced by its Playground Productions division with Dolphin Films and Ingenious Media. Open Road Films released the film theatrically on October 14, 2016 in the United States whiles IM Global handles its European and Asian distribution.

Directed by Stewart Hendler and written by Christopher Yost, the film stars Ben Winchell, Josh Brener, Ana Villafañe, Andy García, Maria Bello, and Billy Slaughter. The film chronicles the adventures of teenaged Max McGrath (Winchell) and alien companion Steel (Brener), who combine their powers to form the superhero Max Steel.

Filming began on April 29, 2014, in Wilmington, North Carolina and concluded in late May 2014. It was panned by critics, and was a box office failure, grossing $6.3 million globally and overall against a budget of $5 million to $10 million.

Plot

Teenager Max McGrath moves with his mother Molly to the town of Copper Canyon, where he was born and where his father Jim McGrath died in a supposed storm. In his first few days at school, he realizes that almost everyone in town knows more about Jim than he does because his mother refuses to talk about Jim's past or death. During dinner with Jim's friend Miles Edwards, Max learns that his father worked for N-TEK, an advanced research company now run by Miles. Concurrently after arriving, Max discovers he emits a unique form of tachyonic energy called TURBO which is powerful enough to overload any electrical item, but he has no control over when he emits it. After sensing an oncoming overload during a date with classmate Sofia, Max encounters an amnesiac alien creature named Steel, who symbiotically bonds with Max to absorb the energy.

Finding themselves chased by mysterious men, Max takes Steel to his high school to hide and finds himself opening up emotionally for the first time in his life. Max learns to control and harness his powers, including linking with Steel to form a suit of armor. While linked, Max starts to see his father's life through flashbacks shared with Steel and learns that an alien race called the Ultralinks with the power to manipulate the elements launched an attack on N-TEK. In search of answers, Max goes there to visit Miles, who explains that Jim was working on creating a generator capable of creating an unlimited source of power, and suggests that Jim died in an accident caused by not following safety procedures. Feeling another energy spike, Max finds solace but is soon caught in a powerful storm, which he realizes is an Ultralink. Working together, Max and Steel defeat the Ultralink and, to their shock, find it looks identical to Steel. Another flashback hints that Steel was responsible for Jim's death, causing Max to lash out at Steel and walk away.

Max discovers Molly is missing, borrows Sofia's car, and calls Miles, who reveals he is aware of the Ultralinks and that Molly was kidnapped as a trap for Max at the old N-TEK Facility where Jim died. Max goes to the facility and finds Steel captured, where he has a flashback that shows the truth: Jim McGrath was an alien who naturally generated TURBO, Steel was his partner, and the power generator was a machine designed to harness and focus his natural energy; however, Miles became addicted to infusing the TURBO for the power it gave him, and allied with the Ultralinks to absorb Jim's energy for himself. Jim overloaded the core to stop Miles and, with his final words, told Steel to find and protect Max at all costs.

Miles entraps Max, having created a suit of armor that drains TURBO, seeking to harvest the energy for himself. Learning to use his armored form as Max Steel, Max fights Miles aided by the mysterious men, revealed to be an N-TEK Special Forces Squad who were working for Miles to find Steel, but are now working for Molly (as majority shareholder of the company). Working together, Max and Steel generate so much energy that Miles is unable to absorb it, overloading him in a massive explosion. Molly reveals that after Jim's death, she feared the Ultralinks would come after Max, so she constantly moved until Miles suggested they move back to Copper Canyon in case Max started to emit TURBO. Max apologizes to Sofia for his behavior and makes a date for that night, then goes for a flight in the armor with Steel's assistance.

Production

Development
An early attempt to create a Max Steel film occurred in December 2009 when Paramount Pictures purchased the rights to the franchise. Taylor Lautner was an early choice for the starring role, although he later dropped out due to commitment to the Stretch Armstrong film. In January 2013, production was suspended when Max Steel was developed into a television series of the same name, airing later that year. In August 2013, plans for a new film adaptation resumed with Mattel partnering with Dolphin Entertainment to fund the film.

In February 2014, Ben Winchell and Ana Villafañe were cast as Max McGrath and Sofia Martinez, respectively. That same month, the press officially confirmed Andy García's casting as Dr. Miles Edwards. In May 2014, Maria Bello and Mike Doyle joined the cast as Molly and Jim McGrath, Max's parents.

Filming
Principal photography commenced on April 29, 2014, in Wilmington, North Carolina and ended on May 31, 2014.

Reception

Box office

After grossing just $637,795 on its first day the film went on to open to $2.2 million, finishing 11th at the box office. In its second weekend the film grossed $680,104 finishing 17th at the box office, making it a box office bomb.

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of  based on  reviews, with an average rating of . The site's critics' consensus states: "Bereft of characterization or even satisfying rock 'em sock 'em, Max Steel feels like futzing with an action figure without any childhood imagination." On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score 22 out of 100, based on reviews from 7 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.

IGN critic Alex Welch gave the film a score of 4 out of 10, summarizing his review with: "Max Steel is one of the more forgettable and pointless attempts at a superhero franchise in the current post-MCU Hollywood market, lacking any of the originality or vibrance that could give it even a remote shot at a successful future." Varietys Joe Leydon gave a negative review, describing it as: "A half-baked, time-wasting curtain-raiser for a superhero franchise that is never, ever going to happen." Christy Lemire for RogerEbert.com gave half a star out of 4, writing: "For a movie about developing the greatest energy source in the universe, Max Steel is surprisingly bland" and that "a movie based on a toy should be a whole lot more fun than this." The Hollywood Reporter critic Frank Scheck gave an unfavorable review, writing: "Even tweens may find themselves underwhelmed by the new live-action film based on what—for many of them—may be their favorite Mattel action figure. Delivering a bland cinematic origin story which seems calculated to boost Christmas toy sales, Max Steel is a stillborn, would-be franchise starter, sneaked into multiplexes without advance critic screenings."

Home media
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment released Max Steel on Digital HD on January 3, 2017, then released the film on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital HD combo-pack on January 10, 2017.
