title: 31 (film)

text:
31 is a 2016 American horror film written, directed, and produced by Rob Zombie, and starring an ensemble cast featuring Sheri Moon Zombie, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Meg Foster, Richard Brake, Jane Carr, Judy Geeson, E.G. Daily, and Malcolm McDowell.

A period piece set in 1976, the film is about five carnies, who are kidnapped by a gang of homicidal clowns called "The Heads". The carnies are forced to play a survival game called "31", where they are chased by the clowns through a maze of rooms over 12 hours. The penalty for capture being torture and murder, while bets are placed on their progress.

The film was crowdfunded online twice at fanbacked.com. At a test screening, Zombie compared 31 to his 2005 film The Devil's Rejects. It received mixed reviews, with multiple critics deeming it unoriginal.

Plot
During Halloween 1976, a group of carnival workers, Charly, Venus, Panda, Levon and Roscoe, gleefully travel through the countryside. Later that night, the group is attacked by people disguised as scarecrows and taken to a strange, large building where three elderly people wearing aristocratic clothes, powdered wigs and make up – known as Sister Dragon, Sister Serpent and their leader, Father Napoleon-Horatio-Silas Murder – tell them that they are going to play the game "31" and that it will last for the next 12 hours. The group is placed in a series of maze-like set of rooms, where they must defend themselves against the "Heads", several murderous clowns who intend to torture and murder them, all the while the group are given odds for their survival and bets are placed on them.

The protagonists come across five "Heads": neo-Nazi Sick-Head, Psycho-Head, Schizo-Head, cross-dressing Death-Head, and Sex-Head. The carnies eventually manage to kill all of the male and female assailants, but not without sustaining their own casualties, with only Charly, Venus and Roscoe left alive. The remaining three try to find a way out, but only manage to get one of their number – Venus – trapped inside a boiler room, where she is brutally murdered by the final Head, Doom-Head, who was brought in by the aristocrats to join the game. Doom-Head taunts Charly and Roscoe, telling them that the doors have been opened to the outside world.

The two manage to make it to one of the exits, however Roscoe urges Charly to go on without him, as the night's event has left him too severely wounded to progress. Roscoe is then stabbed to death by Doom-Head. Charly, who made it outside but found herself in the middle of nowhere, makes her way into an abandoned house where she is ambushed by Doom-Head. He almost defeats her, however Doom-Head is stopped by the aristocrats, who tell him that time has run out and Charly must go free. The aristocrats are concerned that Charly is the first person to win "31". This doesn't satisfy Doom-Head; later he catches up with Charly, who is covered in blood and headed down an isolated road. He alights from a van and takes out his daggers as he and Charly prepare for one last confrontation as the film ends, leaving their fates unknown.

Cast

Production
Plans to create 31 were first announced in May 2014 via a teaser poster that showed the words "a Rob Zombie film", a bloody clown face, and the number "31". Fans and media outlets speculated that the film would be a third film in the House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects universe and would follow Sid Haig's character Captain Spaulding, that it could be a film centering upon serial killer John Wayne Gacy, or that it would be a third film in Zombie's rebooted Halloween film series.

Zombie commented on the speculation, stating that it would not follow Captain Spaulding and would be an original story and was not based on any previous work. He also noted that 31 referred to October 31, Halloween. In July, Zombie announced the plot of 31, which follows a group of five people that are forced to participate in a gruesome game called "31".

Zombie also stated that he would use crowdfunding to cover part of the movie's costs, because "as the years go on, the game changes all the time, and a movie that you could get made years ago, you cannot get made anymore, because the business changes, things change." He added that crowdfunding would allow him to make a movie that might not have been otherwise funded traditionally and that "if you wanna do stuff outside the system, you've gotta function outside the system". Zombie later held a second Fanbacked.com campaign in February 2015 to raise additional funds for the film, stating that it was due to multiple requests from fans that wanted to contribute funding.

Zombie came up with the idea for 31 after reading a statistic that stated that Halloween is the "Number One day of the year when people go missing for some reason" and thought that it would make a good premise for a film. He also received inspiration for the film as he was walking around his frightfest Great American Nightmare and watched the employees work while dressed like chainsaw-carrying clowns. Zombie has stated that he wanted to have a "very nasty, gritty, guerilla-style approach to the filmmaking" for 31, as it "fits the story and the vibe of the movie". Zombie began scouting locations in the summer of 2014 and initial filming was slated to begin in February 2015, but did not commence until that March. Filming for 31 wrapped in April 2015.

Release
31 premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2016. In March 2016, Saban Films announced that they had acquired distribution rights for 31 from Alchemy, who was dealing with financial woes and was selling off previous acquisitions, and that they would be giving it a limited theatrical release on September 16, 2016.

On September 1, Fathom Events hosted a special premiere of 31 in cinemas across the United States. The event included a world premier of the “Gore Whore” music video, and other activities.

Rating
31 was submitted to the Motion Picture Association of America twice and both times received an NC-17 rating. The description as given by the MPAA notes "sadistic graphic violence, bizarre sexuality/nudity, pervasive disturbing images and some strong language." On January 5, 2016, the film was finally granted an "R" rating for "strong bloody horror violence, pervasive language, sexual content and drug use". Zombie later told a fan on Facebook that the "Zombie Cut" would eventually be released on DVD and would include the uncut version.

Critical reception
The film holds an approval rating of 47% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 47 reviews and has an average rating of 5.43/10. The site's consensus reads, "31 delivers all the high-energy gore Rob Zombie fans have come to expect, but a lack of fresh ideas and likable characters mean only the already converted need apply". On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 35 out of 100 based on 13 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews."

Much of the negative reaction to the film centered around claims that the film was forced and unoriginal, with Variety writing that the "energetic exercise in forced badassery will be too silly and self-conscious to feel genuinely edgy, despite all the blood spilt and familiar taboos violated."

The film received praise from Bloody Disgusting, which claimed "31 is Rob Zombie's The Running Man and it works". Trent Wilkie of Fangoria gave the film a mixed review saying "It is violent and campy, with the requisite sex, blood, profanity and gore. But ultimately, it feels rushed and leaves one with the sense of an unfinished idea." However, Jerry Smith, also writing for Fangoria, put it on his year's "Top Ten" list saying, "31 is a mean-as-hell, take-no-prisoners exploitation film filled to the absolute brim with mean-as-all-hell clowns, carnies and, by far, one of the best horror performances of the year."

Shock Till You Drop gave the film approval with a caveat saying "Rob Zombie's 31 succeeds as a throwback to the days of quickie exploitation movies. That's exactly what it is trying to be, and, what it is. So, if you want caviar, keep looking. But if you are in the mood for a candy-colored bacon cheeseburger of a flick with extra grease and BBQ sauce, 31 is for you". In a similar vein, Film School Rejects commented that "31 is Zombie's mildly entertaining take on a stale and simple setup. You already know if it's for you".

Awards and nominations

Home media
31 was exclusively released on Shudder two weeks before being released on DVD. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 20, 2016. The home release contained a behind-the-scenes documentary (a two-hour version on DVD/Blu-ray, four-hour version on VOD) directed by Josh Hasty.

text:
Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander (June 23, 1816 – May 9, 1881) was a Swedish architect and artist.

Biography

Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He was the son of Georg Fredrik Scholander  (1785-1825) and Karin Nyström (1786
-1866). His mother was the sister of architect Per Axel Nyström (1793–1868). He became fatherless at the age of nine, and his uncle then became his foster father.
Scholander studied art in 1831 at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts.
He settled in Paris during 1841, where for almost two years he was a student of Louis-Hippolyte Lebas (1782–1867) at École des Beaux-Arts.

He was called in 1847 as vice-professor and  became a full professor of architecture at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1848.
He trained many members of the next generation of Swedish architects, among them Helgo Zettervall (1831–1907) and Isak Gustaf Clason (1856–1930). From 1851-53 he was a director and between 1851-66 he served as treasurer. In 1868, he became the academy's secretary and held this position until his death.

Among his main works are the Stockholm Synagogue, the Katedralskolan school building in Uppsala, the County Museum in Växjö, Stadshotellet in Mariestad, the old Royal Institute of Technology building on Drottninggatan in Stockholm, the Bernadotte royal burial chapel at Riddarholmskyrkan, as well as several interiors at Drottningholm Palace and the Stockholm Palace.

Personal life
Scholander was married to his cousin Carin Nyström (1830–1912). They had seven children; among them musician and composer Sven Scholander (1860–1936) and artist Anna Boberg (1864 –1935). Scholander died in 1881 and was buried at Norra Begravningsplatsen in Solna.

title: Charles Luxton

text:
Charles Henry Luxton (19 January 1861 – 17 October 1918) was an English clergyman and a cricketer who played in two first-class cricket matches for Cambridge University in 1881 and 1882. He was born at Bondleigh, Devon and died at St Pancras, London.

Luxton was educated at Devon County School, West Buckland and at Peterhouse, Cambridge. In his two first-class cricket games, he was a tail-end batsman and a bowler, and neither his batting nor his bowling style are known; he made little impression in either game. In minor cricket, he played for Devon and other amateur sides through to the mid 1880s.

Luxton graduated from Cambridge University in 1883 and was ordained as a priest in the Church of England. He was curate at Lifton, Devon and Milverton in Somerset before becoming the vicar of Langford Budville, Somerset in 1894, where he remained until his death.

title: Belezma Range

text:
The Belezma Range, also transliterated as Belzma (), is a prolongation of the Aurès Mountains, at the confluence of the Tell Atlas and the Saharan Atlas in northeastern Algeria. It is separated from the main Aurès Range by the Batna-El Kantara basin.

Geography and vegetation
The ridge is roughly aligned in an E-W direction. It is located at the western end of the Aurès Range, with the Hodna Mountains to the west. The highest peak, at , is the Djebel Refâa. Other important peaks are  high Djebel Tichaou and  Djebel Touggourt (meaning 'Cedar Peak').

The Belezma Range has one of the most important natural Atlas Cedar forests of Algeria. It is qualified as a 'dry facies' pure forest owing to its location and the influence of the large deserts nearby, being located only  north of the El Kantara gorges, and there has been a high mortality of the trees in recent times.

The Belezma mountains have been traditionally inhabited by the Houaras Chaoui people. There is very low population density in the area and villages are few.

Belezma Plain
The Belezma Plain () is an elevated intermontane basin located to the Northwest between the area of the National Park and Mount Mestaoua. Its main town is Merouana at  over sea level. The plain is one of the most fertile areas in the region and has traditionally been a granary for the local population. Mount Mestaoua, a veritable natural fortress, is a historical oppidum.

History
The Ksar of Belezma () to the north of the range is the site of an ancient Byzantine fortress. The now ruined structure was once used as an observation outpost by the Muslim and Arab dynasties that followed the Byzantine domination.

This massif was the last refuge of Abu Yazid before his death.

Protected areas

The Belezma National Park is a protected area on the slopes of the range. It is one of the most important national parks of Algeria.

title: Francis W. Fitzpatrick

text:
Francis Willford Fitzpatrick (April 9, 1863 – July 10, 1931) was an architect in Duluth, Minnesota, Washington, DC, Omaha, Nebraska, and Evanston, Illinois. He often abbreviated his name as F. W. Fitzpatrick in publications and correspondence. Fitzpatrick was an early advocate of fireproof buildings, and he was a frequent columnist in architectural trade publications on a variety of topics.

Early life
Fitzpatrick was born in Montreal, Canada East, on April 9, 1863. His parents were John and Mary Fitzpatrick. He immigrated to the United States in 1883 and began working as a drafter in the office of Minneapolis architect Leroy Buffington, remaining until 1887. Then in 1888, Fitzpatrick worked at the offices of the brothers Fremont D. Orff and George W. Orff. He formed the Minnesota Decorating Company and successfully contracted for the interior painting and decorating of the 107-room Dacotah Hotel in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1889.

He joined the American Institute of Architects in 1889.

Traphagen and Fitzpatrick
After completing his work at the Dacotah Hotel, Fitzpatrick moved to Duluth, Minnesota, and formed a partnership, Traphagen and Fitzpatrick, with Oliver G. Traphagen that lasted from 1890 to 1896. This was his most productive time as an architect. Noted Duluth architect Frederick German worked for the two as a draftsman at this time.

The partnership ended in 1896 when Traphagan relocated to Hawaii and Fitzpatrick moved to Washington, D.C.

Chicago Federal Building
In 1896 Fitzpatrick accepted a position as assistant to the Supervising Architect at the United States Treasury. Prior to the Tarsney Act of 1893, federal buildings were designed by architects at the treasury. Fitzpatrick entered government service at a time when federal architects were becoming advisors and supervisors on federal building contracts with design work more in the hands of private architects. At the treasury, Fitzpatrick worked for Jeremiah O'Rourke and then for William Aiken. Fitzpatrick was assigned to the Chicago Federal Building project as an assistant to architect Henry Ives Cobb, and he moved to Chicago to become one of many supervisors of construction. Soon Fitzpatrick was the only supervisor of construction, and his relationship with Cobb deteriorated for reasons of procurement and process related to construction. Fitzpatrick resigned from the project in 1903 and returned to private practice two years before the building was completed.

Private practice
Fitzpatrick became a consulting architect in 1903, and he specialized in fire prevention designs. He also worked with other architects to solve design problems. His favorite area of expertise may have been Architectural rendering, and he enjoyed submitting drawings for competition awards.

By 1917, Fitzpatrick joined the Bankers Realty Investment Company in Omaha, Nebraska as head of the architectural department. The company designed and built residential and commercial structures capitalized by investors. While at Bankers, he designed the Hotel Yancey in Grand Island, Nebraska, the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, and a hotel in Sioux City, Iowa. The job did not last long, and in 1919 Fitzpatrick moved to Evanston, Illinois and continued as a consulting architect.

Invention of the skyscraper
An editorial in the June 22, 1907, issue of The American Architect and Building News reported that three architects had claimed credit for inventing the skyscraper:
Leroy Buffington for the 1884 Minneapolis Tribune Building
William Le Baron Jenney for the 1884 Home Insurance Building and
Bradford Lee Gilbert for the 1889 Tower Building

The editorial stated that in the opinion of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Jenny had the better claim, although his design was similar to the framing of an 1856 shot tower in the great swamp of New York City.

The July 13, 1907, issue of The American Architect and Building News contained a letter from F. W. Fitzpatrick refuting the conclusions of the AIA titled, "The Origination of the Steel Skeleton Idea." In his letter, Fitzpatrick claimed that he himself had designed steel skeletons in support of church towers prior to 1883, and he had sketched the steel column and horizontal beam design for Buffington's 12-story Tribune building when he was working for Buffington in 1883.

Then in 1912, an article in The Washington Post credited Fitzpatrick with inventing the skyscraper. Claims about Fitzpatrick's role in early skyscraper design were not actively contested, but the opinion of the AIA may have been more accurate.

Ideas, opinions, and quotations
Fitzpatrick was a frequent contributor to various trade publications and newspapers. In his research, historic preservationist Ed Zimmer counted over 200 articles and letters to the editor by Fitzpatrick on architecture and other topics. Fitzpatrick's style was frequently grandiloquent and passionate, but his vision was often accurate.

title: Ginisang munggo

text:
Ginisang munggo is a Filipino savory mung bean soup. It is made with mung beans, garlic, tomatoes, onions, various vegetables, and patis (fish sauce). It is cooked with pork, tinapa (smoked fish), daing (dried fish), or other seafood and meat. It is also commonly garnished with chicharon. The name means "sauteed mung bean", though the dish ends up being a soup. The name is in reference to the first step of the cooking process where the spices and the secondary ingredients are sauteed before water and the mung beans are added.

A variant of the dish includes coconut milk and is known as ginisang munggo sa gata. It should not be confused with ginataang munggo which is a dessert gruel made from glutinous rice and mung beans.

title: Tlaltecatzin of Cuauhchinanco

text:
Tlaltecatzin was a poet from the city of  Cuauhchinanco (present day Puebla, Mexico).

According to Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl's writings in Obras historicas, Tlaltecatzin lived with Techotlala, who ruled Texcoco. During this time, Texcoco was becoming an important political and cultural center. It was said he spoke elegantly thanks to the nurse who raised him, Papaloxochitl.

Poetry
Tlaltecatzin is remembered as a poet, even though he only has one surviving poem. The poem was recorded twice in post-conquest documents. Several poets also refer to him. As the poet Chichicuepon from Chalco once wrote, "Tlaltecatzin... lived happily..."

Poems attributed to Tlaltecatzin include:

Tlaltecatzin Icuic, Cuauhchinanco (Song of Tlaltecatzin, Cuauhchinanco)

Fragment of Tlaltecatzin Icuic:

In the poem, Tlaltecatzin makes a discernment on how pleasant being finally home was to him.

title: Émile Munier

text:
Émile Munier (2 June 1840 – 29 June 1895) was a French academic artist and student of William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

Biography
Émile Munier was born in Paris on 2 June 1840 and lived with his family at 66 rue des Fossés, St. Marcel. His father, Pierre François Munier, was an artist upholsterer at the Manufacture Nationale des Gobelins and his mother, Marie Louise Carpentier, was a polisher in a cashmere cloth mill. Émile and his two brothers, François and Florimond, were talented artists and each spent some time at the Gobelins. At the factory Abel Lucas trained Munier as a draughtsman and he developed a close relationship with Lucas and his family, eventually marrying Lucas' daughter, Henriette, in 1861. In 1867, Henriette gave birth to a son, Emile Henri. Six weeks after the birth, having contracted severe rheumatism, Henriette died prematurely. Sargine Augrand, a student of Lucas and a close friend of Émile and Henriette (before she died), caught Émile's eye; they married in 1872 and lived in a small apartment and studio. The couple had one child, a daughter, Marie-Louise, born in 1874.

Career
During the 1860s, Munier received three medals at the Beaux-Arts and in 1869 he exhibited at the Paris Salon. He became a great supporter of the Academic ideals and a follower of Bouguereau, whose subject matter would be an important inspiration to the young Munier. Bouguereau's quality of work and composition are reflected in Munier's artworks. The pair became close friends and Munier frequently visited Bougereau's studio; the latter used the nicknames "La sagesse" or "Le sage Munier" when referring to Munier. The glass designer Émile Gallé was another artist Munier was known to work with from around 1869.

Munier ceased work at the tapestry factory in 1871 and devoted his time solely to painting; he also began teaching classes to adults three nights a week. Leland Stanford, Jr., the only child of Governor Leland Stanford of California and his wife Jane Stanford, died aged fifteen in 1884, and during that year Munier was commissioned by Jane Stanford to immortalise their son by way of a painting. The oil on canvas entitled Angel comforting his grieving mother shows the boy with his hand on his mother's shoulder returning to earth as an angel to comfort her. Today, in the 21st century, the painting forms part of a display in the Cantor Centre for the Visual Arts at Stanford University.

In 1885 he painted, and exhibited at the Paris Salon, Trois Amis (Three Friends). This painting, representing a chubby girl playing on her bed with a kitten and a dog, was an extremely successful work, being reproduced in many forms and used for publicity posters by Pears soap. With this work, Emile asserted himself as one of 'the' painters of young children and their pets; it was eventually acquired by an American collector.

Among his many American patrons were Chapman H. Hyams and his wife, who were important collectors of contemporary French paintings during the nineteenth century and favoured artists like Henner, Bouguereau, Gérôme, Vinel and Schreyer. Munier painted their portrait in 1889, and it, along with much of their collection, is now in the New Orleans Museum of Art.

During the 1890s Munier continued to paint peasant, mythological and religious subjects; he also portrayed animals, scenes depicting fishing, landscapes and seascapes. Many of his works featured his children as his models, particularly his daughter. In 1893 he exhibited L'esprit de la chute d'eau, at the Paris Salon, a nude nymph which is not unlike Naissance de Vénus by Bouguereau.

In 1895 Munier painted La jeune fille et le panier de chatons, but on 29 June, a few weeks after his 55th birthday, he died.

title: 2008–09 Swindon Town F.C. season

text:
The 2008–09 season was Swindon Town's second season in the League One since their relegation from the division in 2006. Alongside the league campaign, Swindon Town will also competed in the FA Cup, League Cup and the Football League Trophy.

Football League One

Leicester comfortably won promotion in their first-ever season at this level, leading the table for virtually the entire season, going half the season (23 consecutive games) unbeaten and losing just 4 games in the process, Nigel Pearson brought stability to the club in becoming their first manager in five years to last an entire season as they looked to turn the corner after several years of struggle. Peterborough were runners-up, winning their second successive promotion and entering the second tier for only the second time in their history. Scunthorpe grabbed the final play-off place on the last day of the season in a winner takes all match v 7th place Tranmere Rovers and won promotion through them, making an immediate return to the Championship after being relegated the previous year.

Stockport went into administration before the final match of the season and so suffered a 10-point penalty; however, there was no real chance of them being relegated as a result of this penalty, barring an extremely unlikely set of results on the final day.

Hereford made an immediate return to League Two, finishing bottom in their first campaign at this level for thirty years. Cheltenham improved late in the season, but it proved too late to prevent relegation. Crewe suffered a late collapse and went down to League Two, having looked safe a few weeks previously, while Northampton were undone by other results going against them on the final day of the season.

title: Daniel Almeida

text:
Daniel Santa Cruz Ferreira Almeida (born 22 April 1984), simply known as Daniel Almeida is a Portuguese professional footballer playing for Real S.C. as a defender.

title: Rebel in Town

text:
Rebel in Town is a 1956 American Western film directed by Alfred L. Werker and starring John Payne, Ruth Roman, J. Carrol Naish and Ben Cooper.

Plot
Home from the Civil War, where he fought for the Union army, John Willoughby now lives in the western town of Kittreck Wells with wife Nora and their 7-year-old son, Petey. An appeal for help from Marshal Russell comes when a band of former Confederate soldiers are seen pulling a robbery in a neighboring town. John, who hates all rebels, agrees to go, against his wife's wishes that all his fighting must end.

Meanwhile, the Rebels, Bedloe Mason and his sons Gray, Wesley, Cain and Frank, decide to ride into Kittreck Wells to replenish their dwindling water supply. Bedloe sends Gray, Frank and Wesley into town while he and Cain await their return. Petey Willoughby, who shares his father's dislike of rebels, aims and fires a cap pistol at them. Startled by the sound, Wesley Mason shoots and kills the boy. As the brothers mount their horses and gallop out of town, Gray, not having been witnessing the shooting, hesitates, then catches up to the others.

When they reach Bedloe and Cain, Gray, angered by his brother’s recklessness, appeals to his father and brothers that Wesley has to go back to face the consequences. Wesley is dead-set against this and the others take his side. Gray rides off alone to learn the fate of the boy, but Wesley ambushes his brother by throwing a knife into his back. After strapping his brother’s unconscious body onto his horse, Wesley sets the animal loose. He then returns to camp and reports that Gray refused to listen to reason, but will meet the family at Oak Fork in three days. That night, John finds the wandering horse bearing Gray’s body and takes him home.

Wesley lies to his father that Gray will meet them in the next town. Gray's horse wanders into town, where John and Nora remove the wounded man from the saddle and take him into their home. John is still determined to learn who killed the child, and an eyewitness accuses Gray of being one of the gang. Nora has to stop her husband from attacking Gray with an axe.

The marshal places Gray under arrest until a trial can be convened. A lynch mob threatens to drag him out of the jail. Bedloe, meanwhile, realizes Wesley has been lying. He ties his son to a tree and whips him until Wesley confesses what really happened. Just as the vigilantes are about to hang Gray, the Masons ride into town. When it is evident to all that Wesley is the guilty one, he runs from the mob. Gray follows and then fights with Wesley, who knocks Gray out and then pulls a knife. John, finally aware who really killed the boy, arrives in time to stop Wesley from stabbing the unconscious Gray. John and Wesley fight and Wesley is stabbed and dies. Mason and his boys leave peacefully. John embraces Nora.

title: National Torch Movement

text:
Movimiento Antorchista Nacional or Antorcha Campesina (National Torch Movement or Torch of the Peasantry)
 is a Mexican political organization whose main objective is the eradication of poverty in Mexico. It has been repeatedly accused of corruption, though no indictments have been reported. It was founded in 1974 in the town of Tecomatlán, located in the poor region of the Mixteca Baja, in the state of Puebla, by a group of 40 college students and peasants led by agronomist Aquiles Córdova Morán, current Secretary General of the Movement. It has a strong national presence among the most popular sectors of the population, including students and peasants. In 2014, it has been bringing out numerous major events crosswide the country as part of the celebrations for its 40th anniversary. The greatest of these events was held at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, with an estimated attendance of 100,000 people. It is an independent popular movement that does not receive any resources neither by political parties, business institutions, or government agencies. It is financed by contributions from its political members and a network of small businesses. In October 1988, the movement adhered to the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). However, in 2016 they announced that they would create their own party, since their moral code was always different from that of the PRI. They have protested against Andrés Manuel López Obrador government mainly because of the cuts it made to the 2020 federal budget expenditures. They also protested against the PRI in the Valley of Mexico, calling for food programs for poor families.

title: Eastwick Park

text:
Eastwick Park, also Eastwich Park, at Great Bookham in Surrey, England (for the period 1726–1958) was the family seat of the Howards of Effingham for about seventy years.

History
Eastwick Park was built by the French Huguenot architect Nicholas Dubois (c. 1665–1735) between 1726 and 1728 for Sir Conyers Darcy and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of John Rotherham of Much Waltham, Essex and the recent widow of Thomas Howard, 6th Lord Howard of Effingham.

The Lawrells
James Lawrell senior, an engineer of the East India Company who had become a financial official in the Bengal Presidency, settled at Eastwick. He arrived in Bengal in 1758, and left the Company's service in 1775. He married in 1776 Catherine Holme Sumner, sister of the politician George Holme-Sumner, whose father William Brightwell Sumner had purchased Hatchlands Park, not far away from Eastwick Park, in 1768. He died in 1799.

Lawrell and his wife were in the Brighton circle of the Prince of Wales in the 1780s, and figure in an anecdote of one of his pranks, circulated by Court Dewes. Their daughter Georgiana Lawrell (born c.1783), who married George Augustus Quentin, became later a major figure of Regency-period gossip. She and a sister moved to London around 1801, as their mother remarried to a husband named Hinchman.

In 1801, Eastwick Park was sold by Richard Howard, the 4th and last Earl of Effingham (of the first creation), to the trustees of James Lawrell junior, the eldest son. He had substantial building work done on the house, in 1806–1807. He sold Eastwick Park in 1809, to Louis Bazalgette.

Later owners
David Barclay acquired Eastwick Park in 1833, by purchase from the estate of Louis Bazalgette, who died in 1830. The sale followed a chancery case involving Frances Bazalgette, the widow, and Evelyn, son of Louis. Barclay had work done on the house, possibly involving Decimus Burton. He rented it out from 1847, when he was experiencing financial troubles. But his son Hedworth David Barclay occupied it; and after his death it was sold by his son Hedworth Trelawny Barclay, in 1880.

Eastwick Park housed Southey Hall Boys Preparatory School from 1924 until 1954 (during World War II the boys were evacuated to Devon and Eastwick Park was turned into accommodation for Canadian soldiers). The house was empty from 1954 until 1958 when was demolished to make way for housing and Eastwick County Primary School (which has since been renamed Eastwick Junior School).

title: Enrica Soma

text:
Enrica Georgia Soma (May 9, 1929 – January 29, 1969) was an American socialite, model, and prima ballerina. She was also the wife of director John Huston and mother of their three children.

Life and career
Soma was born in Manhattan, New York, the daughter of immigrant parents from the small town of Ispra in northern Italy. Her father Antonio Angelo "Tony" Soma was an entrepreneur; her mother Angelica (née Fantoni, 1891–1933), an aspiring singer and actress. Enrica was known by her nickname "Ricki". Her father ran the famed Tony's Wife restaurant in Manhattan, a popular celebrity dining spot for figures such as Dorothy Parker. Tony Soma became a prominent Manhattan night-life figure, known as "Broadway Tony" and "Yoga Tony"; he would greet guests entering the restaurant by standing on his head and singing. After her mother died at the age of 42 from pneumonia, her father married again, to socialite Dorothy Flora Fraser (1910–1996). Ricki had a brother, Philip Soma, and half-siblings from her father's remarriage: Linda, Fraser, and Tony Jr.

Soma was pushed into the entertainment industry by her father, using the connections he had gained through his restaurant. She studied ballet with George Balanchine and joined the New York City Ballet, rising to a principal dancer. As a model, she appeared on the June 9, 1947, cover of Life Magazine at the age of 18. She worked often with Philippe Halsman.

In 1949, she participated in a later famous Life magazine photo layout, in which she posed with other up-and-coming actresses, Marilyn Monroe, Lois Maxwell, Cathy Downs, Suzanne Dalbert, Laurette Luez and Jane Nigh. She was offered a film contract by David O. Selznick, but turned down becoming an actress once she met Huston.

The director John Huston saw Soma's photo and began pursuing her, although he was married to actress Evelyn Keyes at the time. He and Soma married in 1950; she was 20 and pregnant with their first child, Walter Antony (Tony) Huston (b. 1950). Huston was 44. Tony became an Oscar-nominated screenwriter and attorney. Their second child is Anjelica Huston (b. 1951), who has won awards as an actress and director. The marriage was troubled due to the couple's age differences, as well as Huston's often being absent from home to make movies.

Both of them had affairs and children born outside their marriage. Huston had an affair with actress Zoe Sallis, who gave birth to his son, Danny Huston (b. 1962). Around this time, Soma had an affair with John Julius Norwich, and gave birth to their daughter Allegra Huston (b. 1964).

Death
Soma died on January 29, 1969, in a car accident in Dijon, France. She was 39 years old.

title: Orsonwelles

text:
Orsonwelles is a genus of American dwarf spiders that was first described by G. Hormiga in 2002. They are all native to the Hawaiian Islands, each species occurring on a single island, often at high elevations. One species has not been collected since the 1890s, and is believed to be extinct. The name honors the actor and film-maker Orson Welles. Many of the species names commemorate elements from Welles' films, radio productions, or roles.

The first species were described in 1900 by the French naturalist Eugène Simon, who described Orsonwelles malus (as Labulla torosa) and Orsonwelles graphicus (as Labulla graphica). In 2002, Gustavo Hormiga described eleven new species, establishing the new genus Orsonwelles. The Labulla species became torosus and graphicus because Orsonwelles is a masculine noun.

Description
The carapace and abdomen are dark brown to gray. A light band runs down the middle of the carapace. The abdomen is oval-shaped, and sometimes has light blotches or chevron-shaped markings on the dorsal surface. The second limb segments on the third and fourth leg pairs have one to six  trichobothria, a trait unique among the Linyphiidae. Their chelicerae are massive and have many cheliceral teeth.

They are nocturnal, remaining hidden during the day and appearing upside down in the center of their webs at night. Large chelicerae with teeth allow them to be generalist predators, feeding on a variety of arthropods, including moths and terrestrial amphipods. Several species of Argyrodes, a genus of smaller spiders and occasional kleptoparasites of Orsonwelles, have been found caught in their webs.

They primarily live in remnants of rainforests and mixed mesic forests. Many are restricted to higher elevations, where environmental disturbance is less severe and non-native species less common, but some species occur in disturbed areas as low as  above sea level.

In part, due to island gigantism, a phenomenon causing lineages on islands to evolve larger than their mainland relatives, Orsonwelles contains the largest known members of the family Linyphiidae. Females reach body lengths of , and males reach . The largest individuals recorded are in the species O. malus. The next largest is Laminacauda gigas, attaining body lengths of just under .

Species
Each species is endemic to a single island, with six species on Kauai, three on Oahu, two on Molokai, and one each on Maui and the Island of Hawaii. The species O. torosus of Kauai is believed to be extinct, as it was last collected in the 1890s and has not been collected since.

 it contains thirteen species:
Orsonwelles ambersonorum Hormiga, 2002 – Oahu (Named for Welles' 1942 film The Magnificent Ambersons)
Orsonwelles arcanus Hormiga, 2002 – Oahu (Named for Welles' 1955 film Mr. Arkadin (also known as Confidential Report; arcanus meaning "hidden" or "confidential" in Latin))
Orsonwelles bellum Hormiga, 2002 – Kauai (Named for Welles' 1938 radio drama The War of the Worlds (bellum meaning "war" in Latin))
Orsonwelles calx Hormiga, 2002 – Kauai (Named for Harry Lime, Welles' character in Carol Reed's 1949 film The Third Man (calx meaning "lime" in Latin))
Orsonwelles falstaffius Hormiga, 2002 – Maui (Named for the character Falstaff, played by Welles in his 1966 film Chimes at Midnight)
Orsonwelles graphicus (Simon, 1900) – Hawaii (Graphicus, Latin: "belonging to painting or drawing")
Orsonwelles iudicium Hormiga, 2002 – Kauai (Named for Welles' 1962 film The Trial (iudicium meaning "judgement" or "trial" in Latin))

Orsonwelles malus Hormiga, 2002 – Kauai (Named for Welles' 1958 film Touch of Evil (malus meaning "evil" in Latin))
Orsonwelles othello Hormiga, 2002 – Molokai (Named for Welles' 1952 film Othello)
Orsonwelles polites Hormiga, 2002 (type) – Oahu (Named for Welles' 1941 film Citizen Kane (polites meaning "citizen" in Greek))

title: Rosquillo

text:
Rosquillos are Philippine cookies made from flour, eggs, shortening, sugar, and baking powder. They were originally created by Margarita “Titay” T. Frasco in 1907 in Liloan, Cebu. The name means "ringlet" in Spanish (from rosca, "ring") and was reputedly coined by Philippine President Sergio Osmeña.

Despite sharing the name, Philippine rosquillos are not related to the Spanish rosquillos (better known as rosquillas, roscos, or rosquillos de vino), which are more akin to baked doughnuts.

There are two notable variants of rosquillos, differing in shape. The first is galletas del Carmen, which is flower-shaped and does not have a hole in the center. The other is galletas de bato (lit. "stone [mill] cracker"), which has a hole in the center but does not have a crenelated edge.

title: Tsang Shu-ki

text:
Tsang Shu-ki (; 15 April 1950 – 16 August 2014) was a Hong Kong economist and social activist. He was the founding member of the Meeting Point, a political organisation in the 1980s and was the influential thinker among the student and social activists during the time.

Biography
Tsang was born in Hong Kong in 1950. He was influenced by translation works by Franz Kafka and Karl Marx in his young and studied philosophy and political science at the University of Hong Kong and was vice-chairman of the Hong Kong University Students' Union. He was one of the leader of student movements against the colonial injustice during the 1970s and was one of the organisers of the anti-corruption campaign at that time. He was the editor of Socialist Review and Sensibility, two left wing journals during that time which introduced the student activists New Left, existentialist and Frankfurt School theories.

He later obtained a Master of Business Administration degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and worked as a credit analyst, a gold and foreign exchange dealer, and a treasury assistant. He later rejoined the academia, studying his Doctoral degree at the University of Manchester, where he met his future wife, and ending up as an economics professor at the Hong Kong Baptist University, teaching Intermediate Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, the Chinese Economy, and Money and Finance in China.

Tsang also got involved in the politics of Hong Kong's future in the early 1980s during the Sino-British negotiations. He was founding member of the Meeting Point, the first local organisation to openly support the return of the territory to China after 1997. He wrote many books on the future of Hong Kong and became the influential mentor of the student and social activists at the time. He gradually became more conservative as the Sino-British negotiation was finalised. When the Meeting Point led by Anthony Cheung supported Chris Patten's controversial electoral reform in 1993 which was strongly opposed by Beijing, he and Lau Nai-keung quit the party.

He was specialised in Currency Board Economics, Chinese Economic Development, Transition Economics, Monetary Integration, Competition Policy. He was also employed as an economist at the Standard Chartered Bank in the midst of the currency crisis of 1983. He had also been appointed to many public posts including the Consumer Council and Energy Advisory Committee. He had been member of the Currency Board Sub-Committee under the Exchange Fund Advisory Committee of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority for 14 years. In 2013, he was appointed member of the Competition Commission after the competition law was passed in 2012.

He died at his home suddenly on 16 August 2014 at aged 64.

title: List of The Boat Race results

text:
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the men's senior boat clubs of the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  The race was first held in 1829 on a  stretch of the River Thames.  As of 2015 the race takes place on the  Championship Course, between Putney and Mortlake on the Thames in south-west London. The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities; it is followed throughout the United Kingdom and broadcast worldwide.  Four unofficial boat races were held during the Second World War, both on the Thames and the Great Ouse in Ely.  The crews were not recognised as full Blues and as such, the results of these races are not included in the official tally.

As of the 2022 race, Cambridge lead overall in the competition with 85 victories to Oxford's 81; the 1877 race was declared a "dead heat".  Cambridge have led Oxford in cumulative wins since 1930.

The reserve crews of Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Clubs have also raced against one another since 1967.  Oxford's boat Isis (named after The Isis, a section of the Thames which flows through Oxford) and Cambridge's boat Goldie (named after former Cambridge boat club president John Goldie) compete on The Championship Course, usually on the same day as the main Boat Race.  As at 2021, Cambridge's reserve crew have the overall lead with 32 victories to Oxford's 24.

Results

The first race, held in 1829, took place on a  stretch of the Thames between Hambleden Lock and Henley Bridge. It was officially recorded that Oxford won the race "easily".  Seven years passed before the second race, which Cambridge won by 20 lengths, along a  course between Westminster Bridge and Putney Bridge.  A further four races, three of which were won by the Light Blues, took place along the same course.  The 1845 race was the first to be conducted on The Championship Course, the same course in use as of the 2015 race, and was won by Cambridge by ten lengths.  Having won the ninth Boat Race "easily", Cambridge led 7–2 overall, and were challenged, for the first and only time, to a second race in the same year.  Oxford were victorious as the Light Blues were disqualified, the only time that event that the race was decided in such a manner.

The 1859 race was the first in which one of the crews sank: Cambridge's crew were variously rescued or swam to the shore, while Oxford took the overall record to 9–7 in Cambridge's favour.  Between the 1861 and 1869 race, Oxford made a then-record streak of nine consecutive victories; Cambridge won the next five and were 16–15 ahead after the 1874 race.  A dead heat in the 1877 race is the only time in the event that such an official result has been given. Cambridge won four consecutive races between 1886 and 1889, to which Oxford responded with a then record-equalling streak of nine consecutive victories, with Oxford leading the overall record 32–22.  Cambridge won the 1900 race by 20 lengths, the largest margin of victory of the races contested on The Championship Course. The 1912 race saw both boats sink, so a re-row was ordered two days later which Oxford won.

Cambridge won the last race before the First World War suspended the event for five years.  The Light Blues won in 1920, 1921 and 1922 before Oxford triumphed in the 1923 race.  Cambridge subsequently won thirteen consecutive races from 1924 to lead 47–40 overall by 1936.  Another hiatus, this time six years long, was caused by the Second World War, after which the Light Blues won five of the next six races.  A streak of six wins saw Cambridge 16 wins ahead overall after the 1973 race.  Oxford won seventeen of the next nineteen years, and were just a single victory behind after the 1992 race, the overall record 69–68 in Cambridge's favour.  The Light Blues then won the following seven races, including setting the record time along The Championship Course of 16 minutes 19 seconds in the 1998 race. Their dominance faded, and the Dark Blues sealed victory in the 2000 race to trail overall by seven wins, 76–69.  The 2003 race was the closest in history, with the Dark Blues winning by , while the 2012 race was decided after a restart midway through the race following disruption from a protester.  Cambridge won the 2021 race, taking the overall record to 85–80 in Cambridge's favour.

The overall record has been tied on just three occasions: following The Boat Race 1836, it was one victory each.  Oxford's third win in a row in the 1863 race took the record to 10–10, while Cambridge's sixth victory in a streak of thirteen wins between 1924 and 1936 tied the universities at 40–40.

Main race
All races from 1845 to 2019, and 2022 took place on The Championship Course.  Earlier races and the 2021 event took place in different locations, marked by ,   and .

 – race was held on a  stretch of the Thames between Hambleden Lock and Henley Bridge.

 – race was held on a  stretch of the Thames between Westminster Bridge and Putney Bridge.

 – race was held on a 3-mile (5 km)  stretch of the River Great Ouse.

a.  Cambridge (on the Surrey side) had initially gone into a clear lead, so that they were entitled to take Oxford's water on the Middlesex side. When the boats came up to Crabtree Tavern, Cambridge made for the Surrey side just as Oxford were about to overhaul them. Oxford refused to give way and the two boats collided. After a close fought race, Cambridge crossed the line first. Umpire Fellows called a foul citing the rule in the code of rowing laws governing collisions after one boat has taken the others' water: "if they come into contact by the leading boat's departing from the water so taken, the leading boat shall be deemed to have committed a foul".

b.  In the first race, both boats sank, so it was restaged two days later.

c.  The race was interrupted and restarted. The crews collided and an Oxford oar broke in half and the crews continued. Finish judge Ben Kent counted the total time spent racing.

Unofficial wartime races

During the Second World War, four races were organised at various locations, although full Blues were not awarded to the participants. In 1940, a race was held at Henley along a  course which Cambridge won. A race organised in 1941 fell through and in 1942 Oxford were unable to provide a crew. In 1943, a race took place at Sandford-on-Thames in front of a crowd estimated to be between 7,000 and 10,000, where Oxford's experience of the course helped them to a narrow win.  The following year, the contest was held at the Adelaide course in Ely, with Oxford winning, this time by three-quarters of a length. The final unofficial race was held, again, at Henley, along the Regatta course, which Cambridge won by two lengths. The overall record in the unofficial wartime races ended 2–2.

Reserves race
The men's reserves race is contested between Oxford's Isis and Cambridge's Goldie.  The first race was held in 1965 with Oxford's reserves taking the inaugural victory. Goldie have two eight-year winning streaks (from 1967 to 1974 and from 1990 to 1997), while Isis' best run is seven wins in a row from the 2011 to the 2017 race.  As of the 2021 race, Goldie lead 32–24 overall.

a.  When the crews were approaching Barnes Bridge, Isis were leading by about  length. Umpire John Garrett had warned Isis for being out of their water, when a further blade clash resulted in the Goldie no. 2 breaking his swivel. Garrett then disqualified Isis.

title: Canus Natus

text:
Canus Natus was a French Saint in the fifth century.

Early life
Canus Natus was born in the fifth century. He was white-haired upon his birth, a sign of wisdom at the time. The phrase "canus natus" in Latin means "he was born old."

Religious vocation
He became a hermit in a place called Sauzet, described by Christophe de Villeneuve-Bargemon (1771–1829) as a "desert" with "willow trees."

According to Henri François Xavier de Belsunce de Castelmoron (1671–1755), one of his miracles occurred when a dead reed he used as a cane was brought back to life, looking green again. This miracle led him to accept a tenure as the Bishop of Marseille in the second half of the fifth century. During his tenure, he strongly opposed paganism and heresy.

Death and legacy
Upon retirement, he settled in Sauzet again, and died there on October 15, 490. After he was buried there, it became a hamlet and took his name. It is now known as the village of Saint-Cannat. Additionally, the Église Saint-Cannat in Marseille, built from 1526 to 1619, is named in his honour.
