title: Fujiwara no Yoshitsugu

text:
was a Japanese statesman, courtier, and politician of the Nara period. He was the second son of the founder of the Shikike branch of the Fujiwara, Fujiwara no Umakai. His original name was . He was the maternal grandfather of the emperors Heizei and Saga.

Early life
In the year 740, after the death of their father Umakai in 737, Sukunamaro's brother Fujiwara no Hirotsugu led a rebellion. Sukunamaro was implicated and exiled to Izu Province. In 742 he was forgiven, and appointed to the position of shō-hanji. In 746, he was promoted from  to  under the court rank system.

Afterwards, he moved between a number of positions, including several as a regional administrator, but was unable to produce any spectacular results. In addition, the Shikike branch was in steep decline compared to the Nanke and Hokke branches of the family, and Sukunamaro remained in obscurity. In 762, Fujiwara no Nakamaro was at the peak of his success, and while his three sons were promoted to sangi, the 47-year-old Sukunamaro was resigned to his rank of ju go-i no ge. Sukunamaro conspired with Ōtomo no Yakamochi, Saeki no Imaemishi, and Isonokami no Yakatsugu in a plot to assassinate Nakamaro, but the plan was discovered. In 763, the four were arrested, but Sukunamaro insisted that he had acted alone. Convicted of a crime against the Imperial family, he was stripped of his position and his family name.

Rise to power

In 764, Fujiwara no Nakamaro incited a rebellion, and Sukunamaro, in response to an Imperial decree, gathered several hundred soldiers and assisted in putting it down. For his service, he was promoted to the rank of  and conferred honors, fourth-class. Later the same year he was promoted again to , and in 766 to . Along with Isonokami no Yakatsugu, who had become sangi, Sukunamaro was now counted among the powerful as a kugyō.

In 770 he was promoted to sangi, and Empress Kōken died shortly thereafter. Sukunamaro joined with Fujiwara no Nagate of the Hokke in backing Prince Shirakabe—the future Emperor Kōnin—as the next crown prince, and was promoted to  and chūnagon. That year, Sukunamaro changed his name to Yoshitsugu. In 771 the sadaijin Nagate died, and Yoshitsugu's support of Kōnin left him as the central figure of the Fujiwara clan. He was promoted directly from chūnagon to . This made him the second most powerful person in the daijō-kan, after the udaijin Ōnakatomi no Kiyomaro. In 777 he was promoted once again to naidaijin, but he died shortly thereafter, and was posthumously granted the rank of .

When his grandson Emperor Heizei assumed the throne, Yoshitsugu was posthumously promoted to , the highest rank under ritsuryō, and daijō-daijin. He had many daughters, but few sons, and so his line ended when his son Takumi was killed by bandits in Nagaoka-kyō.

title: Nassarius fossatus

text:
Nassarius fossatus, the channeled basket snail, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Nassariidae, the nassa mud snails or dog whelks. It is native to the west coast of North America where it is found on mudflats on the foreshore and on sand and mud in shallow water.

Description
This is one of the largest mud snails in the genus and has a robust shell that can reach nearly  long. The width of the body whorl of the spirally coiled shell is about half the total length of the shell and there are about six further whorls of diminishing size. There is a distinctive transverse groove on the lowermost portion of the body whorl. The surface of the shell is sculpted with fine axial ribs and spiral ridges, giving it a basket-like texture. The aperture is less than half the diameter of the shell and can be closed by a horny operculum. There is a siphonal notch at the edge of the aperture through which a breathing siphon can be extended. The lip of the aperture is finely toothed at the margin and slightly ridged inside. The columella (the central supporting structure around which the shell is coiled) is thickened at the aperture and is usually orange. The rest of the shell surface is grayish-brown or ashy gray and is matte in appearance.

Distribution and habitat
This species is native to the coasts adjoining the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Its range extends from Vancouver Island to Baja California. It is found intertidally on mudflats and also subtidally on sandy and muddy substrates to a depth of about .

Behavior
Nassarius fossatus is a predator and scavenger. When the tide is out it crawls across the surface of the mud leaving a distinctive trail. It is able to detect odors with its long proboscis and when it finds something edible, it winds its foot round it and rasps at the surface with its radula. A dead fish in a creek has been found to attract snails from as far away as  downstream. N. fossatus can similarly detect the approach of a predator such as the starfish Pisaster brevispinus. Its reaction is either to crawl away rapidly, rocking its shell from side to side, or do a spectacular flip or series of flips, catapulting itself with its muscular foot.

Nassarius fossatus lays its eggs on eelgrass or some other solid object on the surface of the mudflats. First it cleans a portion of leaf blade with its radula, then it forms a fold in its foot connecting its genital pore with its mucous pedal gland. The egg mass passes along this fold and the pedal gland is used to cement the egg capsule to the leaf blade. This process takes about ten minutes, during which time the snail's body and shell oscillate from side to side. After this, the snail moves forward slightly and repeats the process, eventually producing a series of flattened capsules that overlap each other giving a shingled effect. A typical egg string may contain 45 eggs and be  long.

title: Rudolf Fueter

text:
Karl Rudolf Fueter (30 June 1880 – 9 August 1950) was a Swiss mathematician, known for his work on number theory.

Biography
After a year of graduate study of mathematics in Basel, Fueter began study in 1899 at the University of Göttingen and completed his Promotion in 1903 with dissertation Der Klassenkörper der quadratischen Körper und die komplexe Multiplikation under David Hilbert. After his Promotion, Fueter studied for 1 year in Paris, 3 months in Vienna, and 6 months in London. In 1905 he completed his Habilitierung at the University of Marburg. Fueter worked as a docent in 1907/1908 at Marburg and in the winter of 1907/1908 at the Bergakademie Clausthal. He was called to positions as professor ordinarius in 1908 at Basel, in 1913 at the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe, and in 1916 at the University of Zurich. From 1920 to 1922 he was the rector of the University of Zurich.

Fueter did research on algebraic number theory and quaternion analysis proposing a definition of ‘regular’ for quaternionic functions similar to the definition of holomorphic function by means of an analogue of the Cauchy-Riemann equations. He also published a proof of the Fueter–Pólya theorem with George Pólya.

In 1910 he was one of the founders of the Swiss Mathematical Society and he became its first president. With Andreas Speiser he was instrumental in the editing and publication of the collected works of Leonhard Euler and from 1927 he was the head of the Euler Commission. He gave plenary lectures at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1932 at Zurich (Idealtheorie und Funktionentheorie) and in 1936 at Oslo (Die Theorie der regulären Funktionen einer Quaternionenvariablen). During WWII he was a colonel of artillery in the Swiss army, an outspoken opponent of German National Socialism, and an advocate for freedom of the press. Fueter was an editor for the Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici.

Fueter married in 1908 and had a daughter.

title: Imperial examination in Chinese mythology

text:
The imperial examination  was a civil service examination system in Imperial China designed to select the best potential candidates to serve as administrative officials, for the purpose of recruiting them for the state's bureaucracy. With the avowed purpose of testing and selecting candidates for merit, the examination system markedly influenced various aspects of society and culture in Imperial China, including Chinese mythology.

The imperial civil service examinations were designed as objective measures to evaluate the educational attainment and merit of the examinees, as part of the process by which to make selections and appointments to various offices within the structure of the government of the Chinese empire, or, sometimes, during periods of Chinese national disunion, of offices within the various states. During more recent historical times, successful candidates could receive the jinshi (chin-shih), and other degrees, generally followed by assignment to specific offices, with higher level degrees and competitive ranking within the degrees tending to lead to higher ranking placements in the imperial government service. The examination system developed largely in response to religious and philosophical ideas about ideal social order. Also, traditional Chinese religion and philosophy responded to concerns about the examination system. Both processes were intimately bound together with a literary system and other traditions which had a relative continuity of several thousand years. The actual examination process developed together with various related philosophical, religious, and narrative concepts to produce a distinct mythological motif.

Sacred origins
A common mythological motif provides a religious type of sacredness to later social institutions by projecting their origins back to a time when deities and culture heroes were credited with having divinely or miraculously created them, thus giving them an aura of greater-than-human qualities, and a justification for their existence and structural qualities with an implication that these are things which mere mortals should not question (as well as avoiding giving credit for their institution to a preceding rival dynasty). This applies particularly to the Chinese system of examinations to recruit government officials and to the related institutions of governmentally sponsored and controlled education.

Origin myth: Shun's succession
The first instance tantamount to an idea of imperial examination is mentioned in the Shang shu ("Yao dian" 堯典), long before a whole bureaucracy of testing was developed. The text describes Emperor Yao's intent of examining abilities of his successor. Yao, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors (traditional dates of rule approximately 2852-2070 BC), saw commencement of the Great Flood. As he grew old in age, the Emperor Yao perceived that he would not live long enough to see the end of the flood. Therefore, he began to seek a successor, someone worthy enough and capable enough to rescue the people from this great calamity. Yao did not turn to the patriarchal system of choosing one of his sons. Yao wished to find the most talented and worthy person in the kingdom. Yao offered his throne to Four Mountains, but Four Mountains declined. Instead, they recommended Shun. At the time, Shun is said to have been at home displaying filial piety. Despite this evidence of his virtue, and the recommendation of Four Mountains, Yao decided that in order to recruit a replacement for the highest of the civil service offices, that of emperor himself, it would only be prudent to instigate a series of tests. The tests included marrying Shun to his two daughters, Fairy Radiance (Ehuang) and Maiden Bloom (Nüying), to see whether Shun could maintain family harmony at home, and ended by sending him down from the mountains to the plains below where Shun had to face fierce winds, thunder, and rain during the course of some test of unexplained mystery. Candidate Shun successfully passed this series of imperial examinations and was recruited as emperor, serving, it is said, as co-emperor, until the death of Yao. Shun and Yao both became mythological cultural heroes, due, in part, to their fight against the flood, and helping the people to lead better lives. The story of how Yao chose Shun by seeking and testing for the most virtuous and meritorious person in the whole empire became a mainstay of Confucian discourse, with Yao and Shun being glorified as epitomes of virtue. A likewise pattern, glorifying merit on the expense of the family ties, is described in succession of Shun by Yu the Great. Also, in later mythology and folk religion, the stories of the examinations of the dead in Heaven or Hell show certain parallels, in the way Chinese folk religion typically depicts the non-mundane world and the world of humans to mirror each other.

Triennial examination tradition
Shun is also credited with a universal gathering of his nobles and subjecting them to imperial examination every 3 years, in order to decide about promotions, demotions, or retaining of the current status in the governance structure.

Music Bureau

During the later dynastic history of China, there existed a government Music Bureau (most notably during a certain part of the Han dynasty, during the Tang dynasty, and perhaps similarly in the Qin dynasty): this was an institution involving the setting of standards and competitive evaluations thereby. In mythology, this involves one of the motifs which provide a religious-type of sacrality to the institution. The Music Bureau or Ministry of Music was actually not a music academy in the modern sense: its function included the collection and composition of music and poetry for royal court functions of entertainment and religious rites, but its functionality was much more. The tradition behind the Shijing poetry anthology was that the reason that poems (and presumably accompanying musical scores and choreography, now lost) were collected, polished, and brought to court for presentation to the emperor, was to inform him of the thoughts, feelings, and conditions of the various peoples in different parts of the empire. That tradition that Confucius himself served as the editor-in-chief of the Shijing provided great prestige to this concept, together with several explicit comments commending the results in the Confucian classics. The Han dynasty Music Bureau was also explicitly avowed to serve a similar function. This was not the only educational function attributed to the Music Bureau: even going back to the early mythological tradition, the original Ministry of Music was founded by Emperor Shun, in order to teach propriety and harmony to his heirs apparent and others. Thus, a certain moral function was built into the tradition from its origins.

In mythology, the original Ministry of Music was founded byEmperor Shun, in order to teach propriety and harmony to his heirs apparent. Thus, the mythological foundation (sometimes considered to be the legendary historical foundation) of the Chinese educational system) and the original archetype later cited by scholar-officials responsible in historical times for public administration institutional design was told in the story of Shun, and how he arranged his government, including a Music Ministry (Wu, 255-256). The work of the Music Bureau was eventually incorporated into the testing curriculum of the imperial examination system.

Zhou selection of the worthy and the capable
The existence of the Zhou dynasty is a historically-proven fact, as are the literary phenomena associated with this dynasty. However, much of the material about it is also known to be mythological, and some remains indeterminate. The rites and records known from the Zhou era do include a prototypical imperial examination system.

Myth versus history
Traditional Chinese-source scholarship regarding ancient China typically involves a dual tradition: a historicizing tradition that results in scholarship such as K. C. Wu's, which removes the unicorns from the writings of Confucius by implying that this was merely an artifact of his final senile descent towards death, saying that when this prime example of a mythological beast appeared in the works of Confucius, it caused him to "lay down his pen and write no more" and that "[h]e died two years later" (Wu, 6); and to go on to similarly strip other mythological elements out of the ancient writings in order to provide a history of the rise of the Zhou dynasty which lacks much from the preserved accounts (that is, it preserves the historical—especially that confirmed by the oracle bones and other archeology—and rejects the embedded mythology); and, also there is the mythologizing and popular culture versions such as that the Ji family that founded the Zhou dynasty was the result of Jiang Yuan's supernatural conception of Houji or the Fengshen Yanyi version that allows the rise of Zhou to revolve around the interactions of the goddess Nüwa, a fox spirit with nine tails that is a thousand years old, a nine-headed pheasant, a jade pipa (a musical instrument capable of assuming human form), and so on. King Wen of Zhou (the name and title "king", wang, were posthumously conferred) was also known as the Literate Duke of Zhou, and he is credited in the dual tradition as the founder of many Chinese institutions, including the Biyong academy with a teaching staff of 3 elders plus 5 various others and a system of universal recruitment into service based upon merit which involved examinations, posthumously regarded as "imperial" (Wu, 256).

Confucian rationalism

From a certain viewpoint, the examination system represented the most rationalistic aspect of the Confucian system. The system of testing was designed according to the principle of a society ruled by men of merit, and to achieve this by objectively measuring  knowledge and intelligence of vatious candidates. However, in actual operation, the system also had aspects of religious and irrational beliefs more complex than this (Yang, C. K., 265–266). The idea of Fate is a mythological motif which had a significant role in the cultural context of the examination system involving cosmic forces which predestine certain results of human affairs: particularly that individual success or failure is subject to the will of Heaven, and that the results of taking the imperial examinations could be influenced by the intervention of various deities (Yang C. K., 265–268).

Zhong Kui
Zhong Kui, also spelled Chung-kuei, was a deity associated with the examination system, who achieved a major posthumous promotion during the Tang dynasty. The story is that a certain scholar took the tests, and, despite his most excellent performance, which should have won him first place, he was unfairly deprived of the first place prize by a corrupt official: in response, the scholar killed himself, the act of suicide condemning him to be a ghost. The Yanluo Wang was impressed of his strong character, and he became a powerful Deity who vanquished evil spirits. Many people afraid of traveling on roads and paths that may be haunted by evil spirits have worshiped Zhong Kui as an efficacious protective deity (Christie, 60, and picture, 58).

Naming taboo
Some individuals were discriminated against because of their names, due to a naming taboo. For example, because the Tang dynasty poet Li He's father's name sounded like the jin, in jinshi, he was discouraged from taking the tests (Hinton, 286). The claim was that if Li He was called a jinshi, it would be against the rule of etiquette that a son not be called by his father's name.

Symbology

The symbology of the imperial examinations and that of imperial appointment to high office are much the same, as would be expected from the close relationship which they share with each other, especially in late imperial times. Wolfram Eberhard (article under title "Official", 214-216) lists a number in his Dictionary of Chinese Symbols, including eggplant (or aubergine) (茄子, qiézi), because the fruit together with its calyx looks like a man wearing a type of cap (冠, guān, which is homonymous with guān, meaning "an official") -- the caps or hats were awarded to promoted officials and so symbolic of official office (Eberhard, under "Aubergine"). Also, beans, or dried bean curd ("bean curd" referring to tofu) also were used in illustrations and other symbology to represent officialdom due to the similarity in sound between dòu gān (豆乾, dried bean curd) and dà guān (大官, high official, as Eberhard discusses under "Bean"). Also, Eberhard defines the combined images of the maple (楓, fēng) and a monkey (猴, hóu), or a monkey and a horse (馬, mǎ) as related to official government service. Also, there is the scholar (士, shì).

Monuments in Štrpce town

Cultural monuments

There are two Orthodox churches among the cultural monuments in Strpce, one dedicated to St. John and the other to St. Nicholas. Venerated by the citizens of Strpce. St. John and St. Nicholas are each celebrated in a traditional Orthodox way known as Slava.

St. Nicholas' Church

The Orthodox church of St. Nicholas () was built between 1576 and 1577.   Its narthex was added later at an unknown time. The church's painting of Iconostasis is considered to be from the early to middle 19th century. One part of a wall hidden underneath the church, which was discovered by a priest, features frescoes, indicating that the current church of St. Nicholas was built upon older remains of an unknown church. According to legend, the unknown church was destroyed during a flood long ago, however parts of the ruins are still visible. Due to the Ottoman Empire's occupation of Serbia, the church's belfry was not built until 1912. It was renovated in 1962 through funding from citizens of Strpce. In 2004, the interior of the church of St. Nicholas was repainted by a priest.

St. John's Church

St. John's Church () was built in 1911 on the foundation of another unknown church, just as St. Nicholas' Church was built. In 2003, the belfry was added. Inside the church there are frescoes. During 2013 the church was renovated.

War memorials
The war memorials in Strpce are divided into three separate groups, depending on which period each group belongs to.

Balkan Wars and World War I memorial
World War II memorial
Kosovo War memorial

All of these memorials were built in honor of the people who died fighting for their country. Two of the most decorated warriors were Staja Markovic, after whom the primary school in Strpce is named, and Cvetko Grbic, whose name is borne by the cultural association in Strpce.

The monuments of other villages in Štrpce municipality
The list of cultural monuments in Strpce:

Rakanovac monument
The Putnice Monument, or the Monument in Rakanovac, was built in honor of the family members of the Sharr Mountains squad killed by the Bulgarian fascists in 1944 during World War II. The monument is located on the road between Strpce and Brezovica, on a field called Rakanovac. It was built by the union of the national liberation movement of Strpce.  The monument was reconstructed in 2010 by the municipal board SUBNOR in Strpce. The names of the family members killed are written on the monument, with a poem in their honor. Every year, on 28 June a wreath is laid on the monument for the fallen victims.

The story behind the monument
During the Bulgarian occupation of Strpce in World War II, there was a Sharr Mountains squad of Serbian resistance fighters. During a secret meeting of the squad, two members of the squad were intercepted by Bulgarian soldiers. The Bulgarian soldiers found out about the meeting from a boy whose father was a Serbian traitor and worked for the Bulgarian forces. One of the Serbian squad members killed one of the Bulgarian soldiers and ran into the mountains, while the other squad member was killed.  As an act of revenge for their fallen comrade, Bulgarian fascist soldiers captured all family members of the Sharr Mountains squad, including 12 children. They took them to the St. Nicholas churchyard. At the church they met the father of the dead Bulgarian soldier, who asked the Bulgarian officer not to harm the captured families, but the officer replied that he would execute them all. The officer then agreed not to harm the families, but the next morning when the father went home to Bulgaria, soldiers re-captured all the family members and took them to the place where the soldier had been killed. There they executed them all. When the soldiers were ready to go, they heard the cry of a child. One of the captured children had not died because it was saved by its mother’s body. One of the Bulgarian soldiers went back and killed the child with a bayonet sword. This happened on 28 June 1944. 46 people were executed, including 12 children.

This is a list of books and essays about Clint Eastwood.

Common disinformation
Eastwood's former partner Sondra Locke (1944–2018) lied about her age all of her professional life and at times, was inconsistent in terms of how many years she shaved off. Only posthumously—after half a century of quoting lies—did the press widely concede that Locke, in fact, was born in 1944. This premise-altering substitution discounts the McGilligan, Schickel, Eliot, Munn, O'Brien, Johnstone and Thompson biographies, not to mention Locke's own memoir, all of which peg her age to a later birthdate.

title: Rachel Sheherazade

text:
Rachel Sheherazade Barbosa (born 5 September 1973) is a Brazilian journalist.

Education
Rachel Sheherazade has a degree in journalism from the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), Brazil.

Career
Rachel Sheherazade began her career in television, working for Mail Paraibana, an affiliate of RecordTV, in the state of Paraíba. Several months later, she was invited to join Cabo Branco TV, a Paraíba affiliate of Globo TV. In 2003, she began presenting for Tambau News of Tambau TV, an affiliate of major national network Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão (SBT).

Sheherazade is known for her criticism on several topics, most notably regarding Brazil's anti-religious sentiment. In February 2011, while working at Tambau TV, she rebuked the carnival in Paraiba, saying that "Carnival is not a popular party, but a party for the elites".

She and Joseval Peixoto, another leading Brazilian journalist and lawyer, are co-presenters for major newscaster SBT Brasil, from Mondays to Fridays. Since 1994, Rachel Sheherazade has also been employed as a técnica judiciária (judicial technician) of Paraíba State Court of Justice.

Controversies
On November 30, 2012, Sheherazade reacted to an attempt to have the motto "Deus seja louvado" ("God be praised") removed from banknotes of Brazil's currency, the real, by claiming that proponents of secularism and anti-religious groups were ungrateful to Christianity. She stated that Christianity was responsible for principles such as freedom, honesty, respect and justice, and that the action was "at least an ingratitude to the doctrine that inspired our culture, our values, and even our own Constitution promulgated under the protection of God". She went on to state her belief that "the next target of the secularizing tendencies" would be the Constitution of Brazil, with a view to removing its references to God, and added: "But a simple civil action will not suffice in that case, as they will have to amend the Constitution".

On March 20, 2013, Sheherazade stirred controversy on the internet when she defended pastor and congressman Marco Feliciano's freedom of expression and religion, stating that he had the right to express opinions and had been democratically elected.

On December 26, 2013, a message appeared in the Facebook profile of Paulo Ghiraldelli Jr., professor of philosophy at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro: "My wish for 2014: that Rachel Sherazedo be raped". The intentional misspelling of Sheherazade's surname contained a word play on the Portuguese term cheiro azedo (sour smell). Soon afterwards, a second, similar, message was posted. Sheherazade contacted the police and criminal charges were filed. Ghiraldelli Jr. denied the charges, claiming that his Facebook profile had been hacked, and deleted the messages of incitement to violence against the journalist. Ghiraldelli Jr. also denied being the author of other older posts critical of Sheherazade, found in his Twitter and Facebook profiles.

On February 4, 2014, Sheherazade commented on the action of a group of young men who had beaten a burglar and tied him by the neck to a pole with a bicycle lock, saying that the actions of vigilante groups were understandable, and that human rights protection served to defend criminals. The Union of Professional Journalists of the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro and its Ethics Committee issued a communique rejecting the journalist's statement, saying that it breached their code of ethics by inciting violence and crime, and showed contempt for human rights. Federal representative Jandira Feghali of the Communist Party of Brazil filed a complaint against Rachel Sheherazade Barbosa and SBT on the grounds that the statement constituted  the "crime of apology and incitement to crime, torture and lynching, typified by Art. 287 of the Penal Code."

On April 5, 2014, news spread that Sheherazade was about to be fired, and supporters began protesting the decision. The rumor was later denied.

title: Doce de Mãe

text:
Doce de Mãe () is a Brazilian television film release as a year-end special with 01 episode (season 1, 2012), and a limited series with 14 episodes (season 2, 2014) produced by Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre and broadcast by Rede Globo on December 27, 2012. It was written and directed by Jorge Furtado and Ana Luiza Azevedo, and Fernanda Montenegro stars as Dona Picucha.

Plot
Picucha (Fernanda Montenegro) may seem old-fashioned, but she has modern ideas and a great sense of humor. As the matriarch of a big family, she is involved in the daily lives of her children, grandchildren and other relatives. Undeterred by the typical problems of old age, she uses her many years of experience to solve problems in the best way possible.

Her children are becoming less and less comfortable with the fact that she still lives alone in the house at her age. However, it is Picucha herself who surprises everyone when she makes the spontaneous decision to move to a nursing home.

She revolutionizes her new home by organizing gambling and concerts. It is there that she also has an idea about how to help her unemployed son—start a business that resells the benefits normally reserved for the elderly, such as parking places and preferential customer service. However, despite her lively lifestyle there, Picucha decides to leave the home and return to her family, thereby starting a sequence of living at her children's houses.

In addition to all of these activities, this indefatigable woman still needs to address other issues such as the suspicion that her late husband had a daughter out of wedlock. She not only solves the mystery but also discovers that she feels a motherly love for the young girl.

Reception
A critic from Dinakaran noted "Kasturi Raja, though he has designed his song scenes in the usual folk culture style, has picturised the other scenes and human passions and sentiments in a remarkably, brilliant way". Ji of Kalki wrote this is a film that has come up with the ultimate goal of making the masses of fans tear up the mat in ecstasy. D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu appreciated Vijayakanth's dual role performance, the cinematography and music, but felt Roja was wasted.

title: Cool Boarders: Code Alien

text:
Cool Boarders: Code Alien is a snowboarding video game developed and published by UEP Systems exclusively for the PlayStation 2 and is the only Cool Boarders title to be released exclusively in Japan.

Gameplay
Cool Boarders: Code Alien contains five play modes including extreme, trick, trick master, license mode, and a mixed mode called snowboarding combined. In the extreme, trick, and trick master modes, players earn points either by performing tricks off of obstacles or by linking tricks together to create combinations. The trick master mode serves acts as a tutorial in which players are sent down an endlessly repeating ski slope while being prompted to perform increasingly difficult tricks. License mode requires players to navigate a series of obstacles in order to obtain a series of licenses. The snowboarding combined mode combines the game's downhill racing and trick tournament elements. Both the extreme and trick modes can be played with multiple players.

Players control their snowboarder by tapping or holding the X button to jump or charge, holding the D-pad in one direction to set up a trick, and utilizing the PlayStation controllers' analog functions by exerting light or hard pressure on the buttons, consequently yielding different tricks. Onscreen messages alert the player as to the degree of the spin or flip they are setting up.

The game features Yagi "The Goat" (the starter character with the best technique), Jin (the fastest starter character), Irin (the starter character with the best responsiveness/quickness), and Cindy (the all-around character): all of whom appeared in Cool Boarders 2; furthermore, board choices from Volcom, Arnette, and Burton exist.

Reception
GameSpot wrote in a January 2001 review of the game that its production was "top-notch", citing that the game possessed quirky characters and a comic sensibility.

This game was well-liked by Cool Boarders 2 cult fans because it is very similar, but the gameplay is more fluid, and the graphics are greatly improved. Similar to Cool Boarders 2, it is possible to do a wide variety of tricks, there are huge jumps, and there are a lot of wildly entertaining game modes. Cool Boarders: Code Alien has a noticeable improvement to the camera work, the terrain and obstacle variety, and the realism. Also, it is much easier to land tricks because there is added air control. There are fewer forced hazards, although there are still too many in this title, so the player can also enjoy playing the game with fewer in-play interruptions.

title: Ferdinando Mattei

text:
Ferdinando Mattei (24 July 1761 – 14 July 1829) was a Maltese prelate who was appointed bishop of Malta in 1807 and Archbishop of Rhodes (before the year 1823).

Mattei was born in Senglea Malta on 24 July 1761. After being ordained priest, Mattei was appointed as one of the knights of St John's Conventual Chaplains because of the high regard they had for him. After the knights were expelled from the island by the French, Mattei worked with the Maltese and avoided any contact with the French. After the French left Malta the British looked with favor upon him.

In 1803 Mattei was appointed as a Monsignor of the Cathedral and on 23 December 1805 Pope Pius VIII appointed him as titular Bishop of Paphos. This entitled the new bishop to help Bishop Labini in running the diocese. In 1818 he ordained bishop Publio Maria Sant the Titular Bishop of Laranda. On 18 September 1807, Bishop Mattei was himself appointed as the new bishop of Malta after the death of Bishop Labini. He was opposed by Francesco Saverio Caruana who himself wanted to be bishop of Malta. Mattei died on 14 July 1829, ten days before his 68th birthday, and Caruana would eventually succeed him.

title: Emma Blackery

text:
Emma Louise Blackery (born 11 November 1991) is an English musician, singer, YouTube vlogger, record producer, and author. Active since 2012, Blackery has released EPs, singles, and Vevo music videos. She has toured with Busted, and headlined tours for her debut studio album Villains, released on her RWG Records label in 2018.

In 2015, Blackery's main YouTube channel had over one million subscribers. She performed and was a panelist at YouTube events (including Summer in the City and VidCon), and has contributed twice to the YouTube Rewind video series. Blackery's book, Feel Good 101: The Outsiders' Guide to a Happier Life, is based on her 2013 Feel Good 101 video series.

Music career

Debut and early success (2012–2018)
Blackery released her debut EP, Human Behaviour, in early 2012 followed by her second EP, Distance, in July 2013. A music video for the lead track, "Go the Distance," was produced by Arthur Walwin. Her third EP, Perfect, was released on 11 November 2014. Its title track topped the UK Independent Singles Breakers Chart for one week, and entered the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart at number eight. In 2015, Elle included Blackery on its "30 Women Under 30 Who Are Changing the World" list.

Jason Perry produced Blackery's fourth EP, Sucks to Be You, which was released in 2016. Its title track peaked at number 85 on the Scottish Singles Chart. On 4 April 2016, Blackery announced that she would join pop punk band Busted on their Pigs Can Fly tour. "Sucks to Be You" was the runner-up for the first Summer in the City Song of the Year award. After touring with Busted, Blackery toured on her own and performed her music at other YouTube events.

She released her fifth EP, Magnetised, on 26 May 2017. It spent one week on the UK Albums Chart at number 63, and peaked at number five on the UK Independent Albums Chart and number two on the Official Independent Album Breakers Chart. On 6 August, Blackery received a Summer in the City Song of the Year award for "Nothing Without You". The cover art for Magnetised was featured at the Apple Keynote event for the iPhone X in September 2017.

Villains (2018–2020)

Blackery founded her independent record label, RWG Records, in 2018 and began work on her debut studio album Villains. She has explained that releasing on her own label gives her "control over a lot more aspects of [her] music career." On 16 March 2018, she released the lead single "Dirt", produced by Toby Scott. The song, on Spotify's New Music Friday UK playlist, was described by Record of the Day as a "slick combination of Scandi-pop" and "sassy American pop"; Blackery described "Dirt" as "best served cold". On 3 May 2018 she released her second single "Agenda" along with a lyric video. On 22 May 2018 she released the music video for "Agenda" followed by a lyric video for "Icarus" and a music video for "Take Me Out".

Blackery shared that during the album's creation, she learned more about production and the artistic direction she wanted to go in. She explained, "It was really during the album writing process that [she] learned how to create music outside of basic chords on a guitar - [she] ended up producing a large amount of the finished product that [her] fans heard and only learned after it was released that sometimes you sadly have to fight for credit on your own work." In retrospect, she also admits she would revisit the choruses on "Fake Friends" and "Take Me Out," saying she wouldn't make them as "simplistic" if she made the songs more recently.

 Blackery released Villains, on 31 August 2018. The album contains songs written in collaboration with Toby Scott, Maxwell Cooke, and Peter Hutchings. BroadwayWorld noted that "Petty" "flirts with tropical house", and the Express & Star cited elements of power pop. Lisa Hafey, praising "Third Eyes "upbeat disco sound" and "nice ABBA-y vibe", called Villains "a bit of a feminist album". In June Blackery performed "Third Eye" live at the 9th VidCon Night of Awesome. Blackery then partnered with HMV for a UK tour. Villains spent one week on the UK Albums Chart at number 24 and number 18 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. Thomas Smith noted in an NME blog how Apple events helped Sofi Tukker, Emma Blackery, and Odesza in their careers.

The European Villains Tour, planned for March 2018, was postponed until October. London based singer-songwriter Lilly Ahlberg  was the tour's special guest. The three-week tour began at Oslo's Parkteatret on 4 October, followed by performances in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Sugarfactory (Amsterdam), Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Academy 2 (Manchester), O2 Institute2 (Birmingham), The Garage (Glasgow), and Tramshed (Cardiff) before ending at KOKO in London on 25 October. A Never Enough Notes reviewer at KOKO saw "angst, passion, and energy in every word" and wrote that Blackery has "a knack for live shows; full of attitude, high energy and a phenomenal vocal performance".

Blackery released "Cute Without You", produced with Toby Scott, in April 2019. In July 2019, she performed at the Evoke festival in Brentwood and for BBC Radio 5 Live, where Nihal Arthanayake interviewed her for his Headliners series. In December 2019 she performed an unreleased song titled "Plot Holes" at SitC Winter Edition at the NEC.

Sixth EP and Girl in a Box (2020–present)

Blackery released her sixth EP, My Arms Are Open, on 15 May 2020. The lead single "Wolves' was released on 2 April 2020 ahead of the EP. She went on to release lyric videos for songs "Plot Holes" and "History of Touches". She has described them as "some really personal lyric videos," which she created herself both in her home studio and outside near her home at sunset.

On 10 December 2020 Blackery released a standalone single titled "Blossom"

On 22 November 2020, Blackery announced during a YouTube video that her second studio album was in production, due to be released in 2021. On 9 June 2021, Blackery revealed her second album's title, Girl in a Box, through a series of tweets, where she posted the album's cover art, alongside the release date of 27 August 2021. These tweets include the full tracklist, revealing a total of ten songs, which includes the previously released singles "Crying", "Brutus" and "My Terms", as well as the announcement of a UK tour to promote the album, which is scheduled for February 2022. She released two singles after the album called "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" and "Cry to Your Mother" leading into the tour. She had to reschedule for June 2022 for Covid-19 reasons.

In January 2023, she announced she was working on a new EP to be released later in the year. "Everybody Lies" came out in July 2023  "Apologise" came out in August and then "Parasite" came out in September 2023

Other work

YouTube
Blackery was initially inspired by Shane Dawson, Smosh, Dan Howell, Phil Lester and, in 2017, by Troye Sivan. In 2018, Blackery had three active YouTube channels; other channels have been deleted, re-branded, or left inactive.
 Emma Blackery – Blackery's main channel, created in May 2012, on which she hosts vlogs, music videos, comedy sketches, and other content. Although she began to develop a following by reading excerpts from Fifty Shades of Grey on her channel, the videos were removed due to copyright complaints. In 2018, the channel had nearly 1.5 million subscribers.
 EmmaBlackeryVEVO – created to upload her Vevo music videos, including "Nothing Without You", "Magnetised", "Don't Come Home" (lyric video), "Dirt" (acoustic version), "Agenda" (lyric video), "Icarus" (lyric video), and Take Me Out.
 Vloggery – dedicated to vlogs, including her IPOAD series of longer videos and other content not on her main channel. Blackery presented Summer in the City 2017 in three videos. EmmaBlackeryVEVO, Vloggery, and the Topic channel have been closed to subscription since May 2019, and all videos are on the main channel.
In 2013, Blackery participated in YouTube's Geek Week, and Grace Helbig featured her in a Not Too Deep podcast the following year. She received a Gold Creator Award for having over one million subscribers in 2015, and joined PewDiePie's now-defunct Revelmode network, won on Tom Scott's Game On show, was spotlighted by YouTube as one of 18 #MadeForYou UK YouTubers, and appeared in the Red Bull TV documentary Kings of Content with Louis Cole the following year. She expressed her unhappiness with YouTube Rewind after two appearances, and The Guardian cited Blackery as one of three case studies of pressure and YouTube burnout in 2018. She since admitted that she "finally stopped chasing that next viral video and [that she's] comfortable making content for [herself]."

Some of her most-viewed videos are "If Tampon Commercials Were Honest", "The Sims in Real Life", and "If Websites Started Dating". Blackery's "My thoughts on Google+" video went viral in 2013, after Tubefilter featured it as the best reaction to a new YouTube comment system. Blackery sang it again in November 2018 to celebrate the end of Google+. In December 2016, TenEighty included her "YouTube Heros (Parody)" as one of their "Five of the Best: Parody Videos".

Writing
Blackery wrote Feel Good 101: The Outsiders' Guide to a Happier Life (based on her 2013 Feel Good 101 video series), addressing depression, self-harm, anxiety and other issues. The book was published in September 2017.

Personal life
Blackery grew up in Basildon, Essex, finished sixth form at Bromfords School in Wickford, and currently lives in Birmingham. Her half-sister was born in 2007. Blackery worked as a waitress before beginning her career as a musician and YouTuber.

In 2015, Blackery disclosed that she had been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and supported Liberty in North Korea. She is a WWE and Zelda fan with a Triforce and a Navi tattoo, often visible in videos and images. TenEighty interviewed Blackery and noted that she admits "her flaws and lays her damages out for everyone to see".

Her music is influenced and inspired by Busted, Blink-182, Green Day, Tessa Violet, The White Stripes, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Avril Lavigne, Placebo, Nine Inch Nails, Twenty One Pilots, and Taylor Swift, particularly Swift's songwriting. On #WomanCrushWednesday 2017, The Daily Dot quoted YouTube's Culture and Trends team lead Earnest Pettie as calling Blackery "a thoughtful, funny, ferocious feminist unafraid of having an opinion".

In February 2023, she announced her engagement to her partner Davey Bennett.

title: Simone Le Bargy

text:
Simone Le Bargy, (April 3, 1877 – October 17, 1985), born Pauline Benda but better known by her stage and pen name, Madame Simone, was a French actress and woman of letters.

Biography
Born into a Parisian family of Jewish bourgeoisie, Benda was a cousin of the writer Julien Benda. She made her stage debut in 1902 and played parts for Henri Bernstein, Luigi Pirandello, Henry Bataille, Georges de Porto-Riche and François Porche, her late husband. She took after Sarah Bernhardt in the role of L'Aiglon's Edmond Rostand and participated in the creation of Chantecler in 1910.

In 1898, she married her diction teacher Charles Le Bargy at the church of Saint-Philippe-du-Roule. He was more than twice her age. After her divorce from him, she took the name, "Simone Le Bargy". She remarried, in 1909, Claude Casimir-Perier, son of former President of the Republic Jean Casimir-Perier. She was the friend of many celebrities of her time and, from 1909, she received the great literary figures of the time, like her later lover Alain-Fournier, his friend Charles Péguy, and Jean Cocteau at the castle of the Trie-City.

The most striking feature of her personal life is her brief and passionate affair that began May 29, 1913 with Alain-Fournier, whom she met while he was secretary of her second husband. He was killed January 12, 1915 on the front of the Aisne. Alain-Fournier was killed while leading his company September 22, 1914, during a reconnaissance of the German lines.

She married a third time, to the author François Porche, which she says in his memoirs was a marriage based on their respective common point following for each of them, a passion rudely interrupted.

She lived 108 years, and was a jury member of the Prix Femina from 1935 to 1985, literary salon, friendships and Parisian influences, writing novels, memoirs (Grand Prize for Literature of academy in 1960). Her unhappy first marriage with actor Le Bargy seems to have served as a model for Jean Cocteau's Bel Indifferent.
