title: Jeffrey Steele (artist)

text:
Jeffrey Steele (1931–2021) was an abstract painter. In Paris (1959) he encountered the work of artists working in the mode of geometric abstraction, such as Victor Vasarely (1906–97), Max Bill (1908–94) and Josef Albers (1888–1976), and adopted a lifelong abstract approach. For eight years he worked purely in black and white and was identified with the Op-art movement. He incorporated other colours into his work in the 1970s.

His work has been exhibited in London, Paris, New York, Milan, the Venice Biennale (1986), and elsewhere in Europe and the Americas. He has participated in more than 100 group exhibitions and had 17 one-man shows, the first at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 1961. His works are in a number of public collections in the UK, including Tate Britain, the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, the Arts Council and the Department of the Environment, and in other countries. Steele's painting Gespenstische Gestalt (1961–62) was shown in the exhibition "Dynamo, Un Siècle de Lumière et de Mouvement dans l'Art 1913/2013" at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2013.

After he had gained a reputation as a practising artist in the early 1960s Steele was accepted by the college authorities with which he had previously tussled and he began lecturing in fine art in Cardiff, Barry and Newport. He then lectured at Portsmouth Polytechnic from May 1968 until December 1989.

He was a member of the Portsmouth Sinfonia experimental orchestra organised by Gavin Bryars  for BA students and staff in Fine Art at Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1970, playing trombone. He can be heard on the BA show invitation 45rpm of the William Tell Overture.

Early life to 1960
Jeffrey Steele was born on 3 July 1931 in Cardiff, the son of a slate fireplace enameller, Arthur, and Enid (née Washer), who worked in a Woolworth's store. He attended Howard Gardens High School in Cardiff, where his teachers encouraged his artistic work.

In 1948 Steele enrolled at Cardiff School of Art with a scholarship. After quarrels with the teaching staff he transferred to Newport School of Art, but he did not complete the course there.

As a pacifist, he was a conscientious objector to National Service; he was originally exempted only from combatant military service, but on appeal he was exempted from any military service, conditional upon performing civilian work. His refusal to undertake National Service led to him being forced out of the family home.

During the 1950s he maintained a studio in Cardiff and experimented with representational styles.

During the 1950s Steele worked figuratively while being employed as a Rediffusion radio technician and also engaging in a programme of self-education in European languages and philosophy, as well as art. He was particularly influenced by the allegorical style of Stanley Spencer (1891–1959). Steele's painting Christ Carrying the Cross (1952-3, set in Adamsdown, Cardiff) was shown at the Royal Academy in London in summer 1953 and caused controversy in his home town because of its satirical message. Steele took a studio and later a flat in High Street, Cardiff, which became a meeting point for his artistic and intellectual contemporaries in the city. He also lived in London in 1956–57, working as a storeman at the Stoll Theatre until its demolition.

Steele had been studying Cézanne, Cubism and the Abstract Expressionists but said later: "I mistrusted the deliberate bypassing of the thinking part of the mind which gestural painting entails and some love of the philosophical method of Descartes predisposed me towards a rational and austere form."

In 1959 he won a French government scholarship to study in Paris, initially for three months. There he visited the show "Antagonismes" at the musée des Arts décoratifs, and saw the work of Auguste Herbin (1882–1960), Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse (1902–1988), the Venezuelan Jesús Rafael Soto (1923–2005) and, especially influential for Steele, Victor Vasarely. He determined to start afresh and when he returned to Cardiff he destroyed all figurative work in his possession.

He started with what could not be eliminated while still being an artist making pictures: the two essentials, first a blank white (when primed) canvas, and second, an element (or elements) of black, these two (figure and ground) interacting with each other. From this simplest possible binary situation he built up a new practice, beginning with depictions of ovoid forms.

Principles and aims
Each work is underlaid by its own set of mathematic relationships that, once chosen intuitively, determines the elements depicted to produce a unified, harmonious whole, which is independent of any outside object (as in figurative art) or the artist's emotions (as in Abstract Expressionism). Typically, equal vertical and horizontal divisions of the canvas are cut through with intersecting diagonals, and new lines taken from intersections, to produce a system of superimposed grids or nets. On these are built the shapes, lines, curves, blocks of colour or spatial divisions that form the elements of the picture. The elements are repeated but subject to the effects of incremental changes according to logical progressions. They interact and interpenetrate to allow the viewer to make new, multiple connections and see new patterns. As in a half-tone photograph, the image appears to be more meaningful than the elements that make it up. This effect, says the critic Gloria Carnevali, can be seen as forming "a new third dimension, one that exists between the painting and the observer", even a "new pictorial space". The use in Steele's work of elements in balanced opposition, and the tilted axes arising from the diagonals, produce symmetrical wholes that are not static but dynamic, complex and full of apparent movement, especially rotational, the eye eventually returning to its starting point before beginning a new journey around the picture.

While modern in their pure abstraction, purged of references to the world outside the picture, Steele's works, in their systems of proportion, balance and measurement, in their use of geometric forms (particularly circles and polygons such as triangles and squares), and in their strong contrasts of light and dark (chiaroscuro) in their composition, are prefigured by much older art and architecture, and have a timeless quality.
Steele's aim is visual experimentation and investigation, to answer questions such as "what would that look like?", a journey in collaboration with the viewer on the basis of equal status. The result, while being potentially satisfying, interesting and appealing for a viewer, is not primarily intended to provide aesthetic pleasure and sensory enjoyment ("I like that"), or to elicit an emotionally sympathetic response or admiration for the artist's skill or insight ("That's good"), or to satisfy the art market. The artist is kept firmly in the background.

In a statement concerning his work Steele proposes "to abolish as far as possible subjective, contingent and random factors in favour of a principle of necessity; to develop a pictorial context conforming to this principle and to render this principle as intelligible as possible".

Op art in the 1960s
Steele's painting Baroque Experiment – Fred Maddox (1962/63) featured prominently in a Time magazine article on Op-art, "Pictures that Attack the Eye", in October 1964. It was then shown in "The Responsive Eye", an exhibition of mainly Op-art in the Museum of Modern Art in New York in February–April 1965, organised by William Seitz, which also included work by the British artists Michael Kidner (1917–2009) and Bridget Riley (1931–). Steele spent three weeks in the city, meeting critics and artists such as Josef Albers, Fritz Glarner (1899–1972), Richard Huelsenbeck (1892–1974), Ad Reinhardt (1913–1967) and Andy Warhol (1928–87), visiting galleries and staying in the Chelsea Hotel. He was interviewed by the film-maker Brian De Palma (1940–) for his documentary about the exhibition.
He has been identified with the Op-art movement because he has worked in black and white, especially in the 1960s, and his paintings feature clear, hard edges, sharp, even dazzling contrasts, figure-ground ambiguity and kinetic effects. However Steele's aim is not to exploit optical illusions for spectacular effect, such as to produce retinal after-images to cause visual disturbance or interference, reversible perspective (objects that seem to both advance and recede), the illusion of vibration and shimmer – all derided as tricks or gimmicks by some art critics. In Steele's work any such distortions are the side-effects of the underlying systems of his works.

Steele was a member of 56 Group Wales from 1963 to 1974, and a life / honorary member after 1974.

Systems group, 1970s
Steele was a founder member of the Systems group of artists along with Malcolm Hughes (1920–1997) in December 1969. The group included Michael Kidner, Gillian Wise (1936–), Peter Lowe (1938–), Colin Jones (1934–), David Saunders (1936–), Jean Spencer (1942–1998), Richard Allen (1933–99), John Ernest (1922–1994) and others. The group arose through an exhibition of nine artists, "Systeemi-System", organised by Steele and his then wife, the textile designer Arja Nenonen (1936–2011), at the Amos Anderson Museum in Helsinki, capital of Nenonen's native Finland, in 1969. The exhibition was subtitled by Steele "An Exhibition of Syntactic Art from Britain", the word "syntactic" referring to the work "being constructed from a vocabulary of largely geometric forms in accordance with pre-determined and often mathematically-based systems". The Helsinki show was followed by a similar one called "Matrix" at the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol and the 1972/3 Arts Council touring exhibition "Systems" which opened at the Whitechapel Gallery in London in March 1972. This was followed by "Systems II" at the Polytechnic of Central London in 1973. Individual members showed at the Lucy Milton gallery in Notting Hill, London, up to 1975, and in continental Europe during the 1970s and afterwards. The group ceased to exist in 1976 following political disagreements, but a number of its members remained on friendly terms and exhibited together.

The Arts Council of Great Britain put on a touring exhibition of 15 artists called "Constructive Context" in 1978–9, curated by Stephen Bann, which brought together members of the former Systems group, and Gillian Wise organised a constructivist section in the 1978 Hayward annual exhibition.

Neglect in the UK, 1980s and 1990s
Between the two groups of Systems-related exhibitions (in the 1970s and the revival of interest in 2005–2008), Steele and other former members of the group and related artists continued to exhibit widely in continental Europe, eastern Europe and Russia, and had works bought for public collections there. However, in the UK the attention of the art world shifted to conceptualism. Steele and his associates may also have suffered from a perception of their art as cold or inscrutable. Furthermore, the group has also been associated with the political left and Russian Constructivism of the early Soviet era, and many of its members (including Steele) see a strong affinity between their art and Marxism. But at a time when the Cold War was raging and Thatcherism was in the ascendancy the work of Steele and his contemporaries did not find general favour in UK art circles. Meanwhile, it was also distrusted by many on the revolutionary left as allegedly elitist, being not readily appreciated by the masses. He was a leading member of the professional association called "Group Proceedings" that was intended for artists to  theorise art practices, also during his time at Portsmouth Fine Art Department. At Portsmouth he led the seminar "Some Questions Concerning Fine Art and the Propagation of Ideas by Means of Images" which became known, due to its Marxist content, (affectionately and otherwise) as the "Ideology Course", from which there are extensive papers and one of the direct and indirect outcomes of this is the theoretical work of Gary Tedman and Iona Singh.

Revival of interest, 2005-08
After the "Constructive Context" exhibition of 1978-79 it was not until 2005 that a similar exhibition was held. This was at Southampton City Art Gallery, called "Elements of Abstraction: Space, Line and Interval in Modern British Art", curated by Professor Brandon Taylor and Dr Alan Fowler of Winchester School of Art. This was followed by "Towards a Rational Aesthetic: Constructive Art in Post-war Britain" at the Osborne Samuel Gallery in London in 2007 and "A Rational Aesthetic", a second exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery in 2008. All of these featured the work of Steele and like-minded artists. The 2008 show also featured the work of Anthony Hill (1930–) and Kenneth Martin (1905–1984), who along with his wife, Mary Martin (1907–69), and Victor Pasmore (1908–98) was a leading figure in the revival of Constructivism in Britain and America in the 1940s, forerunners of the Systems group.

Personal life
Steele was married twice, to Glenda Reynolds with whom he had two children, Simon (born 1958) and Tamara (born 1959), and to the Finnish artist-weaver Arja Nenonen. After his second marriage ended he had a relationship with the artist Judy Clark, with whom he had a daughter, the artist Clara Clark.

Steele was interviewed extensively by the researcher Cathy Courtney for the Artists' Lives section of the British Library's National Life Stories project. The British Library also holds a collection of video recordings made by Steele in his home and studio between 1997 and 2011.

Steele lived and worked in Southsea, Hampshire. He died on 21 June 2021.

title: Buenvenida

text:
Buenvenida is a variation of the Spanish word bienvenida, feminine form of bienvenido, which literally means "welcome." According to the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos, a document of surnames published in the Philippines and other islands of Spanish East Indies in the mid-19th century, the name has also been adopted by locals in the Philippines. This was in response to a Spanish colonial decree establishing the distribution of Spanish family names among the inhabitants of the Philippines who did not already have a surname.

Spanish Governor General Narciso Clavería y Zaldúa issued a decree on November 21, 1849. Following the Christianization of the Philippines, many Filipinos chose surnames. The surname is very common in the Province of Capiz, in the Island of Panay. The town of  "Pan-ay," from which the island derives its name, was the second Spanish settlement in the Philippines when conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legaspi left Cebu for Manila. He settled in the banks of the Pan-ay river and built a pueblo. Following Christianization, surnames of the local inhabitants were changed to Spanish surnames. Intermarriage between the Spaniards and locals brought for a new class of local mestizos, thus the Buenvenida family is as old as the town itself. In fact, several notable members of the clan became an alcalde of the pueblo, and many with the Buenvenida surname still live in the old town.

title: Shakthiveda Bhaishajya Mahayagam

text:
Shakthiveda Bhaishajya Mahayagam is a global Yaga organized by Shakthiveda Wellness Mission, a Registered Charitable Trust. The 4th Bhaishajya Mahayagam was scheduled to be conducted in Bommandahalli, Bangalore from 20 to 23 February 2014. The Mahayagam is a chain of 81 episodes, performed non-stop for 81 hours covering 3 nights and 4 days. The 4th Shakthiveda Bhaishajya Mahayagam will be inaugurated by Ramalinga Reddy, Karnataka Minister for Transport, on 19 February 2014 evening at 6 P.M.  Parama Pujaniya Rishidev Sri Narendranji will be the Mukhya Yajnacharyan of 4th Bhaishajya Mahayagam.  He will be lighting up the yagam on 20 Feb 2014 at 6 am.

Bhaishajya Mahayagam

The word ‘Bhaishajya’ pertains to medicines and Maha Yagam denotes a great ritual. Unlike other Yagas, in Bhaishajya Maha Yagam, we use very rare and powerful medicinal herbs for oblation, which is the outstanding peculiarity of this event. The intention of the Yaga is to cleanse mother nature, the individuals and all beings on earth. There exists a big science behind it which is part of the ancient heritage of India and the great vision of the Seers of India. ‘Ayurveda’ the Indian Medical Branch, is their contribution in which they used medicinal herbs abundantly to cure diseases. The word ‘Ayu’ refers to life-span and ‘Veda’ is knowledge. Therefore, ‘Ayurveda’ means knowledge about your life-span.

The ancient Seers were using the same technology in Bhaishajya Maha Yagam. If herbs can cure man, it can cure nature too. Therefore, using medicinal herbs in Yaga, they were treating mother nature to cure her diseases of contaminations. Contaminations are the diseases of nature. Man polluted nature through erratic and unscrupulous living. Man is the only being which pollutes nature. No other being on earth is capable of doing so except man. Medicines are used against illness and therefore, here we are using medicinal herbs to cure the illness of existence. That is the basic science of Bhaishajya Maha Yaagam. Another question could be as to why have we adopted oblation into the fire? There is a reason. For example, if you give red chilly to one person, only he is affected by eating it. If you put that one red chilly into the fire, suddenly within split seconds the entire mob could be affected. This is because fire absorbs the essence of the chilly and immediately pass it on to the air, which spreads it in the entire locality within no time. Anything penetrates into atmosphere through air, it can easily get into eternity. The effect may get subtler, but then it moves faster and faster. When medicinal herbs are put into huge fire, its tremendous effect will surely reach the entire globe.

Therefore, Bhaishajya MahaYaga is a global Yaga. It is not just a local affair. The atmosphere gets cleansed first. As a result, all the beings under the sun will also be cleansed automatically. It will positively affect the physiology, psychology, biology and spiritual wellness of man. The magnanimity of the Bhaishajya Maha Yagam is thus immeasurable.

When nature and man together enjoy wellness, not only psycho-physical-spiritual levels, but also at social, planetary, material, educational, cultural, global and governance levels also, you will find improvements. For that a series of Bhaishajya Maha Yagams to be conducted all over the world like a chain. Then slowly nature will catch up the impact of it. We are now conducting the 4th Yaga in this series.

Bhaishajya Maha Yagam organized by Shakthiveda Wellness Mission, a Registered Charitable Trust, is beyond religion. The doors are open to all religions. This is a glorious step from our side to bring in religious harmony among people. The platform is set here for total unity and love which is the desperate need of the day.

The Yaga is performed continuously for 81 hours, over the span of 3 nights and 4 days. The thrust of the Yaga is on 81 focal issues of social, national and international importance. Each hour is devoted to a particular issue and simultaneous to the incessant oblations on the one hand, the Yajnacharyan will go on cleansing relevant negative aspects through his intense Power of Intention which is transcendental in nature. Actually through this Yaga, Shakthiveda Wellness Mission is fulfilling a great social service too.

The specialty of the Yaga Kunda (fire pit) is that it is exceptionally large. The dimensions are 27 feet length and 18 feet width in an elliptical shape. The Yaga Kunda represents mother earth, which is the sankalpa.

The Yaga fire was originally lit by the Yajnacharyan on the 10th day of May 2012 at 06.00 a.m. during the 1st Yaga at Kochi, Kerala. The Divine Flame was preserved and carried over after every Yaga to the next one. The Divine Flame Vaishwanara Energy" increasingly gains more empowerment after each Yaga. This particular feature of Shakthiveda Bhaishajya Maha Yaga is found only in this context. A separate Agni Stambha will come up at Sarveswara Dhama at Bommandahalli, Bangalore exclusively to maintain and worship the Eternal Fire for the generations to come.

Mahayaga is an opportunity for the common man to witness a rare and once in a lifetime mega ceremony. Devotees can alleviate their spiritual Doshas through simple rituals. Scientists and environmentalists are allowed to conduct research on energy radiation, ecology or any other subject of their individual interest.

title: Farmageddon (book)

text:
Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat is a 2014 non-fiction book by Philip Lymbery and Isabel Oakeshott. It surveys the effects of industrial livestock production and industrial fish farming around the world. The book is the result of Lymbery's investigations for which he travelled the world over three years. Isabel Oakeshott is the political editor of The Sunday Times, Lymbery is CEO of Compassion in World Farming. The book was published by Bloomsbury.

Synopsis
The thesis examined in the book is that globalised production chains of industrialised agricultural systems negatively affect farmed animals, human health, the countryside, rivers and oceans, biodiversity in rainforests and many of the world's poorest people. The authors seek to shed light on the conditions in intensive agriculture which, according to them, often differ from the image that the industry wants to sell to the public. Intensification in animal farming goes along with a growing demand of cropland to grow animal feed – factory farming is thus not a means to save space. They argue consequently that to feed the world population factory farming is not the solution but a threat, not least since more than a third of the world's arable harvests are being used to supply farmed animals. According to the book the consumer price of cheap meat does not include the overall costs of industrial meat production.

The reader follows Lymbery's journey from his start in California's Central Valley. There he finds dairies where 10,000 cows can be milked at once. He travels to enormous piggeries in China and visits the fishmeal industry of Peru, which converts millions of tonnes of anchovies to fishmeal for supplying the livestock industry with feed. In Taiwan he visits a farm (labelled "organic") where 300,000 laying hens are being starved and held in batteries. A visit is paid to the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, US where he finds the marine ecosystem impacted by waste from the poultry industry. The author talks to a community in Mexico in an area dominated by pig sheds.  There he documents a lake of effluent and air and water pollution, and discusses the outbreak of swine flu.

One chapter of Farmageddon is dedicated to the question "What happened to the vet?" Lymbery says that veterinarians work in an industry with an "inbuilt flaw". He states that veterinarians often comply with the industrialization of animals, for example in the prophylactic use of antibiotics which are applied in the mass production of animals, eggs and milk instead of demanding a different (pasture-based) agricultural system. According to Lymbery, veterinarians should not support systems that are "inherently bad for animal welfare", which allegedly is the case in "mass production of broiler chickens, caged production of eggs, the large-scale permanent housing of dairy cows (so-called mega dairies) and highly intensive pig production where mothering pigs are kept in confinement where they can't turn around for weeks at a time".

In order to prevent Farmageddon the authors come up with suggestions for consumers, policy makers and farmers: Consumers should eat less meat. Fish should be fed to people rather than converted into fishmeal. Animals should be fed with grass and animal farming should be a pasture-based system. These changes would save resources by reducing the competition of humans and animals for food and land.

Table of contents
The book is divided into the following sections:

I Rude Awakenings (chapters 1-2)
II Nature (chapters 3-6)
III Health (chapters 7-8)
IV Muck (chapters 9-10)
V Shrinking Planet (chapters 11-13)
VI Tomorrow's Menu (chapters 14-19)

The following is a list of chapter titles:

 California Girls: a vision of the future?
 Henpecked: the truth behind the label
 Silent Spring: the birth of farming's chemical age
 Wildlife: the great disappearing act
 Fish: farming takes to the water
 Animal Care: what happened to the vet?
 Bugs 'n' drugs: the threat to public health
 Expanding Waistlines: food quality takes a nose-dive
 Happy as a Pig: tales of pollution
 Southern Discomfort: the rise of the industrial chicken
 Land: how factory farms use more, not less
 Thicker than Water: draining rivers, lakes and oil wells
 Hundred-dollar Hamburger: the illusion of cheap food
 GM: feeding people or factory farms?
 China: Mao's mega-farm dream comes true
 Kings, Commoners and Supermarkets: where the power lies
 New Ingredients: rethinking our food
 The Solution: how to avert the coming food crisis
 Consumer Power: what you can do

Reception
Tristram Stuart wrote in a review for The Guardian that although he is critical towards the "orthodoxy that large-scale farms and industrial agricultural technology are inherently wrong", "this catalogue of devastation will convince anyone who doubts that industrial farming is causing ecological meltdown".

Career
Scherrer was born in Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann, Switzerland. He began snowboarding at age 7 in 2001 and began competing in the 2002-2003 season.

In his first Olympic showing at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Scherrer finished the qualification in 9th place of the 2nd heat, qualifying him to the semifinal. However, he suffered an right ankle injury and pulled out of the semifinal, and thus did not compete in the final.

At the 2018 Pyongchang Olympics, finished the qualifier in 6th place with a score of 84.00, and finished in 9th place with a score of 80.50 in the final.

In Scherrer's third Olympic appearance at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, he claimed the bronze medal with a final score of 87.25.

Personal life
Scherrer has a wife, named Sasha, and a daughter, named Sienna, who was born in May 2022. Scherrer, who had not won a medal in any of his previous Olympic showings, agreed that if he were to win a medal at the 2022 Olympics, he would get a tattoo of his wife's choosing, a bet that he lost with his bronze medal win in the competition. He followed through with the bet in October of that year, getting a tattoo drawn by his wife.

title: SIMA-Violet

text:
Sima Violet was a French manufacturer of cyclecars between 1924 and 1929.

The name
Sima was an acronym, the letters standing for "Société Industrielle de Matériel Automobile".   Violet respected the creator of the cars, Marcel Violet.

The business
The company was founded at Courbevoie on the northwestern side of Paris, in a part of the city which was already home to numerous automobile manufacturers and  suppliers.   Marcel Violet who created the little vehicle was a long-standing advocate of two-stroke air-cooled boxer-format engines, and these powered the cyclecars that carried his name   Sima Violet ended production in 1929, to be succeeded at their Courbevoie site by the Sima-Standard business which survived till 1932.

The cars
The only vehicle produced was a cyclecar, which was a four-wheeled vehicle lighter than a conventional passenger car, but with a two-stroke engine and light-weight construction reminiscent of a motor cycle.   In the years following the First World War the French government used taxation policy to encourage cyclecars.

The Sima-Violet cyclecar was powered by a two-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine of 497cc mounted in a low-slung position ahead of the driver.   Power was delivered to the rear wheels via a two speed transmission mounted on the rear-axle.  The quoted top speed for a standard vehicle was 110 km/h (68 mph).   The Sima-Violet appeared at the Paris Motor Show in October 1924 at which time the only body-style listed was  a steel-frame "Torpedo" type 2-seater, sitting on a  wheelbase, and which the manufacturer was listing at a price of 4,950 francs.   A single seater sports bodied version was also produced.

The front wheels were suspended using a transversely mounted leaf-spring, combined with "friction shock-absorbers".   The brakes operated only on the rear wheels.

By the time of its final show appearance at the 22nd Paris Motor Show in October 1928 the car had acquired what appears to be a vertically mounted radiator at the front, but was still reportedly powered by a flat-twin motor-cycle style engine.

title: Finland's Bandy Association

text:
Finland's Bandy Association (Finnish: Suomen Jääpalloliitto, Swedish: Finlands Bandyförbund) is the governing body for the sport of bandy in Finland. Bandy was one of the sports for which the Ball Association of Finland, founded in 1907, was created. The present Finnish Bandy Association was founded on 18 March 1972, to take over bandy from the Ball Association of Finland, which from then on concentrated on association football only.

History
Bandy came to Finland from St. Petersburg in Russia in the 1890s. The first club was Viborgs Skridskoklubb in Vyborg, which was Finnish back then. At the Nordic Games held in Sweden in 1901 (a predecessor of the Winter Olympic Games), bandy was included in the programme and in 1907, similar winter games were held in Helsinki and bandy was again included. Finland was represented by the club Polyteknikkojen Urheiluseura (PUS) at the 1907 games, but the winner of the competition was a combined team from Sweden, which defeated PUS as well as the team from St. Petersburg. The first Finnish Championships were played in 1908; in the finals, PUS beat Helsingin IFK 8-3. Bandy was the first team sport, for which a Finnish championship was created. Finland became independent in 1918 and Finland's first international as an independent country was against Sweden in 1919, which Finland won 4-1. The first game between two ladies' teams known to have been played in Finland was in March 1916, Åbo Simklubb vs Helsingfors Damhockeyklubb, 3-1.

Finland was one of the founding members of the Federation of International Bandy in 1955 and in 1957 the very first Bandy World Championship was held at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.

In 2008 the Finnish bandy league, Bandyliiga, celebrated its 100th anniversary.

title: Gauss–Boaga projection

text:
The Gauss–Boaga projection is a map projection used in Italy that uses a Hayford ellipsoid.

Naming and History
The projection is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss and Giovanni Boaga. It was created by Giovanni Boaga in the 1940s who was at that time the head of the Istituto Geografico Militare. The projection method is a slight variant of the Gauss–Krüger series development for the ellipsoidal transverse Mercator projection. Like the closely related UTM, the Gauss–Boaga scales the projection down so that the central meridian has a scale factor of 0.9996 rather than 1.0.

Specifications
The grid system is based on the Roma 1940 datum, whose origin lies at Monte Mario near Rome. The coordinates at this point were measured 1940 as φ = 41° 55' 25".51 and λ = 12° 27' 08".40.

Subdivisions
The projection is split into a western (EPSG:3003) and eastern zone (EPSG:3004). The western zone is also referred to as Monte Mario / Italy zone 1 or Rome 1940 / Italy zone 1. It is used in Italy on- and-off shore west of the 12 °E longitude. The eastern zone is also referred to as Monte Mario / Italy zone 2 , Rome 1940 / Italy zone 2. It is used on- and off-shore east of the 12 °E longitude.

title: The Under-Gifted

text:
The Under-Gifted () is a 1980 French teen comedy film directed by Claude Zidi.

Synopsis
The students of the Louis XIV Lycée are known to constantly fail the Baccalauréat test, the school is the last in the baccalauréat ranking with 100% of failures.

Indeed, they voluntarily have bad results in order to be able to continue having fun as students. They make many pranks including small crimes. However, Lucie Jumaucourt, the director, decides to increase the school discipline. Although she seems to succeed in reframing them regularly, the director realizes that she and her teaching team made up of her husband, her daughter and the imposing Mr. Bruce (new sports teacher) are in turn victims of new pranks by the students by way of retaliation. In the meantime, a new pupil, Gaston Pourquier, who has the particularity of being very old, joins the class during the year. During this time, Bébel will spend part of the year flirting with Caroline, Julien's girlfriend, but the latter, exasperated, successively sends her friend Ruth and the nymphomaniac Jeanne to her bed. The latter, after having had relations with many school friends, finds herself pregnant.

Exasperated by the students' lack of results, the headmistress takes new measures by installing a learning machine in the school. The machine teaches students by corporal punishment. Bébel, to end this brutality, calls the police to report a bomb threat, and the school is evacuated. But this strategy will not work for very long and the students decide at the bar to make one with firecrackers placed in a couscous pot. However, the bartender, who is a terrorist, overhears the conversation and is inspired to make one to bomb an embassy. There was exchange between a schoolboy firecracker and an authentic terrorist bomb, both hidden in a couscous pot. The real bomb exploded in the school. The city mayor offered to students: pass the exam or go to  prison. The commisiare, who the gang pranked by calling him anonymously on the phone for fake bomb threats, is put in charge of watching them.

Although the students were not prepared for the exam, they found very innovative methods of cheating: books below shoe bottom, djembe drums, overhead projectors, birth delivery just during the exam, and everyone passed, in spite efforts to control cheating.

Ten years later, they have all succeeded in life: Bébel runs a cinema newspaper, Julien has become a very BCBG specialized doctor married to Caroline with whom he had eight children, Jeanne the nymphomaniac runs a dating club, Gaëtan is an inspector for the repression of fraud, Togo the African is president of his native country and Graffiti, an expert in theft of mopeds, has become the boss of a garage of luxury car. The exception was the police officer now degraded to ordinary traffic policeman. He was invited by Bébel to celebrate the tenth birthday of the daughter of Jeanne and therefore also the 10 years of their baccalaureate since Jeanne had carefully chosen to give birth in the examination room.

title: Romanov Empire (micronation)

text:
The Romanov Empire (), also known as the Imperial Throne (), formerly the Russian Empire (Российская Империя), is a state proposed by Russian businessman and politician Anton Bakov as a re-creation of the Russian Empire. It would be led by Romanov heir Prince Karl Emich of Leiningen as Emperor Nicholas III, with Bakov serving as Archchancellor. As of 2023, no concrete action has taken place to establish such a state.

Bakov declared the new Russian Empire to be the successor to the historical Russian Empire that ceased to exist in 1917. Bakov declared himself prime minister. In June 2012, Bakov registered the Monarchist Party with the Russian Ministry of Justice, with a stated goal of restoring the monarchy to Russia in accordance with law. It is the only legalised monarchist party in Russia. In the fall of 2013, Bakov's daughter Anastasia Bakova (Анастасия Бакова) was the Monarchist Party's candidate in the mayoral elections in Yekaterinburg.

On 31 March 2014, under the new name of the Imperial Throne, the micronation issued a manifesto announcing itself a sovereign nation and declaring that Prince Karl Emich of Leiningen (born 1952) had become its head with the title of Nicholas III, Emperor of All Russia, as a successor to Nicholas II. After he was named Emperor, Nicholas III wrote a letter to Vladimir Putin requesting land in Yekaterinburg to establish a capital with its own imperial senate. The request was denied.

In 2020 Bakov declared that his new project, successor to the Empire, entitled Arca Noë is going to be based in neutral Mediterranean waters close to Venice as a part of Seasteading movement.
