title: Drakes Bay Oyster Company

text:
Drakes Bay Oyster Company was an oyster farm and restaurant formerly located at the shoreline and in Drakes Estero at 38°04'57.3"N 122°55'55.0"W, a bay within Point Reyes National Seashore, on the West Marin coast of Marin County, in Northern California. In 2011, the lease for the business operation was not renewed at the direction of the United States Secretary of the Interior. After a two-year court battle, the business was terminated in December 2014, and Drakes Estero was cleared of the offshore racks and onshore structures, with the work completed in 2017.

History
A lease was signed between the company and the National Park Service in 1972 for oyster farming within the bay. Drakes Estero is protected within the NPS Point Reyes National Seashore, part of the regional NPS Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

The company was one of the largest shellfish operations in California, producing over eight million non-native oysters a year.

Closure
The Drakes Bay Oyster Company's farm in the bay was originally slated to close on 31 July 2012, as its permit to operate had expired and the National Park Service had been directed to restore the area to its natural state. The decision to close the company was made in 2011 by Ken Salazar, the United States Secretary of the Interior on the grounds it would set a precedent for other park lands. Salazar had telephoned owner Kevin Lunny personally to inform him of the decision, and later stated “The estero is one of our nation's crown jewels, and today we are fulfilling the vision to protect this special place for generations to come."

The company's retail and restaurant operations on shore closed in July 2012. Due to an injunction filed by regional restaurants, the company continued to harvest oysters for commercial sales, until the National Park Service gave a 30-day notice for permanent closure of all operations.

In early December 2014, the legal case by the restaurants and other interests was dropped, and the company terminated the oyster operation completely by the end of December 2014.

Environmentalists hailed the outcome, allowing on-shore and off-shore environmental cleanup and habitat restoration projects to commence. The removal work, including 500 tons of debris, was completed in 2017. Upon final completion, the closure effectively returned Drake's Estero to its original ecosystem condition, and established the waters as a permanent wildlife sanctuary within the Phillip Burton Marine Wilderness Area and Point Reyes National Seashore.

title: Akash Ar Mati

text:
Akash Ar Mati (The Sky and the Earth) is a 1959 black and white film directed by Fateh Lohani and produced by Film Development Corporation (FDC). It was the first sound feature produced in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) including post-production, though like Mukh O Mukhosh (The Face and the Mask), the first Bengali-language film made in East Pakistan, it used some cast and crew from the West Bengal film industry.

Background
Akash Ar Mati was actor-director Fateh Lohani's second venture. Satrang, an Urdu film directed by him was released in 1965.
He based Akash ar Mati on one of dramatist Bidhayak Bhattacharya's stories. A musical film, it was thematically ambitious. But it suffered from poor technical knowledge and the inexperience of film-makers of Dhaka. The film flopped commercially.

Legendary Bangladeshi actress Sumita Devi, Fazlul Karirt, Pradip, the first Bangladeshi hero Aminul Haque, Dagu, Ali, Zinat, Rablul, Madhuri, Tejon, and Ranon acted in the film. Baby Islam was the cinematographer. Subal Das was the music director.

The Association of International Research and Development Centers for Agriculture (AIRCA) is an international, non-profit alliance focused on increasing food security by supporting smallholder agriculture and rural enterprise within healthy, sustainable and climate-smart landscapes.

Overview and focus
AIRCA unites six international agricultural research and development centers which focus on a diverse mix of commodities, crops and issues including tropical agriculture, vegetable production, bamboo and rattan, insect pests, fertilizer use, underutilized crops, biosaline agriculture and sustainable development in mountains.

The members of AIRCA address sustainable agriculture and the environment at the landscape level. The centers create solutions that take into account the diversity of interactions among people and the environment, agricultural and non-agricultural systems, the crossing of national boundaries and other factors that represent the entire context of agriculture.

AIRCA members serve more than 60 countries comprising over 70% of the world’s population from across the Americas, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. The broad alliance has collective access to a wide variety of crops and ecosystems.

The combined resources of AIRCA can be used to achieve 10 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations in 2015.

Relationship to CGIAR and FAO
AIRCA member organizations work with crops of high economic, social, nutritional and ecological value. This complements and contrasts with the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the CGIAR who work primarily in staple crops.

AIRCA does have some overlap with the CGIAR, however the CGIAR generally focuses more on agricultural research while AIRCA has more of a concentration on the implementation of agricultural research and development communication. AIRCA has a strong orientation toward problem solving at a system level, rather than a focus on a single commodity.

History
AIRCA was launched on 2 March 2012 at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome, Italy.

It was publicly presented in Punta del Este, Uruguay, on 30 October 2012 during the second Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development.

title: Llanidloes Ladies F.C.

text:
Llanidloes Ladies were an association football club based in the town of Llanidloes, Powys, Wales.

History

Formation
The club was formed in 2000 and was one of the founding members of the North Powys League. In the earlier stages of the team's formation the club did not enjoy much success.

Early Success
In the 2007/08 season the club won their first silverware under Manager Richard Williams winning the Central Wales Cup. In the 2007/08 season the club formed a reserves team who went on to win the North Powys Ladies League Division 2 undefeated in their first season. In 2008/09 the Club really showed how far they had come winning the treble, The County Times Cup, The North Powys Ladies league and successfully defending the Central Wales Cup, with the reserve team also finishing runners up in Division 2.

New Challenge of the National Premier League
With the club currently dominating Mid Wales Football they were chosen, as one of 8 clubs throughout Wales, to form a National League. The League was initially divided into two divisions, North and South, with Llanidloes playing in the North. However, as the league was initially small they could continue to play in the North Powys League whilst still fulfilling their Premier fixtures. The Club made Welsh Ladies Football history playing in the first Welsh National League fixture against Aberystwyth in September 2009.

For the 2009/10 season the North Powys league Division 1 and 2 merged to form a larger more competitive League. This meant that the Reserves Team had to form a completely independent squad, so Llanidloes Reserves became Llanidloes Daffs for the new season. In the season 2009/2010 the club repeated it treble winning performances from the previous season again lifting the County Times Cup, The North Powys Ladies league and the Central Wales Cup. Llanidloes in 2010 had lifted the Central Wales Cup in three consecutive seasons.

Llanidloes Ladies also had another milestone in 2009 when Nikki Bocking was called into the Wales Under 17s squad travelling to Belgium in September and Macedonia in October 2009.

The new single format Premier League
In its first three years the Welsh Women`s Premier League was divided into two conferences, north and south, with Llanidloes competing in the North. The league changed the format to a single division for the 2012–13 season. When the league became a single division it meant Llanidloes could no longer play in the North Powys League.
The club renamed itself Hafren United before the 2014/15 season but withdrew before playing their first match.

Reforming
Llanidloes Ladies reformed in the summer of 2017 and entered the North Wales Women's Football League due to the lack of a Central Wales League. The club folded after a dispute between the FAW and the league led to the North Wales Women's Football League being suspended, the club never got going again after the suspension was lifted.

Funck died of an apparent asthma attack at his apartment in Munich on 16 July 2014. He was working on the final cut of a film for Ankie Lau titled Wishing Tree when he died; it was this film's production team that found Funck's body. In a statement, Lau remembered Funck as "a true friend and one of the most extraordinarily talented film editors in the history of German cinema." Funck had also begun working on director Mika Kaurismäki's film The Girl King just before his death.

Mayur Puri is an Indian screenwriter, lyricist, actor and film-maker working in Mumbai. He has written songs, screenplays and dialogue for several movies, including Om Shanti Om (2007) starring Shahrukh Khan directed by Farah Khan, where Mayur also did a cameo appearance (as the wannabe Gujju Director of 'Apahij Pyar'). He wrote dialogue for the Farah Khan film Happy New Year (2014). On 17 November 2014, The Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences selected the screenplay of Happy New Year for its permanent Core Collection.

Mayur wrote the dialogue for India's first 3D Dance film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance. He also wrote the songs for 'ABCD: Any Body Can Dance'. After the success of 'ABCD: Any Body Can Dance', Mayur wrote dialogue and songs for the second installment of the franchise ABCD: Any Body Can Dance 2.

Mayur recently directed Firdaws (2017), his first short film.

Mayur has aided in the adaptation and translation of American films into Hindi. He wrote the Hindi translation of Hollywood films and TV series like Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, The Lion King (2019), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Orange Is The New Black (2013–19), Jojo Rabbit (2019), Spies In Disguise (2019) and Locke and Key (2020)

Early life
Mayur hails from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, where he completed most of his education, including a Master of Arts degree from University School of Languages and an F.Y. Diploma in Dramatics from the Drama Department of Gujarat College (topped the university). He spent his early years writing and directing for local theatre and television, and after 8 years of experience, he moved from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in late 1999 and immediately landed a job with Sanjay Gadhvi, an Indian film director as his Chief Assistant Director. From the year 2000, he started writing screenplay and dialogues for films that he was assisting on. During his first year in Mumbai, he also wrote and acted in lead for a Gujarati play Amastaa Amastaa (2001).

Film career
In 1999, Mayur started in the film industry by assisting Sanjay Gadhvi. They worked on three films together, one of which was Tere Liye, where Mayur was the chief assistant director. Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (2002) was next and was Mayur's first as a screenwriter as well. Mere Yaar ki Shaadi Hai was produced by Yash Raj Films. He next worked as an associate director on Dhoom (2004), an action film which was a departure from the production house's usual romantic and family-oriented movies.

In 2004, Mayur left Yash Raj Films and worked as an independent screenwriter and lyricist. His first film as an independent was My Name is Anthony Gonsalves (2008), an adaptation of Julius Caesar). It released to a lukewarm response. His big break as a screenwriter came with Om Shanti Om (2007). The dialogues in Om Shanti Om achieved widespread public appreciation, with phrases 'Ek Chukti Sindoor' and 'Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost' acquiring a cult status upon the film's release.

Next, Puri was the creative director for the animation film Jumbo (2008) produced by Percept Picture Company, with Akshay Kumar voicing the titular character. He co-wrote Blue (2009) which was the first Indian film to be shot extensively underwater in the Bahamas with top technicians from Hollywood. However, the film failed at the box office. Mayur then wrote the dialogues for Prince (2010), and also had a supporting role as P.K.

In 2009, Mayur took a sabbatical from Bollywood and founded a story-telling institute for young children called Story Circus and conducted a workshop for aspiring film-makers in Goa with the help of Goa University. While he was busy with his activities Beyond Bollywood, Mayur's next hit at the box-office came in 2011 with Remo D'Souza's directorial debut F.A.L.T.U (2011) - the screenplay and dialogues for which Mayur had written a few years back.

After one of the sessions in Story Circus, Mayur bumped into Farah Khan who had come to pick up her kids. While Mayur was still off Bollywood, Farah's Tees Maar Khan had released and she was starting to script her next project Happy New Year which she offered Mayur immediately. Also, around the same time, Pritam came back to Mayur and offered him to work on the songs of Race 2 (2013) and I Love New Year (2013). By 2012, Mayur returned to full-time writing with additional dialogue and lyrics of Remo D'Souza's next musical ABCD: Any Body Can Dance (2013). For this film's songs, Mayur collaborated with music director duo - Sachin-Jigar. In 2013, he wrote 26 songs as a lyricist.

Happy New Year released in 2014, the dialogues of the film written by Mayur being well received. Apart from this, Mayur worked on the script of ABCD: Any Body Can Dance 2 (2015). His recent releases as a lyricist are Humshakals, Entertainment, Kick, All is Well and ABCD: Any Body Can Dance 2.

title: Oliver Schreiner

text:
Oliver Deneys Schreiner MC KC (29 December 1890 – 27 July 1980), was a judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa. One of the most renowned South African judges, he was passed over twice for the position of Chief Justice of South Africa for political reasons. He was later described as "the greatest Chief Justice South Africa never had".

Early life

Schreiner was born in Cape Town in 1890, the son of William Philip Schreiner, the Prime Minister of the Cape Colony during the Boer War, and his wife, Frances, a sister of President F. W. Reitz. The author Olive Schreiner was his aunt.

Schreiner attended the Rondebosch Boys' High School, the South African College School (SACS), before going to the South African College (now the University of Cape Town), where he was the admired president of the Debating Union. An excellent student, he "could have had the Rhodes Scholarship for the asking", but understood, in the light of Rhodes's involvement in the Jameson Raid and subsequent fallout with William Schreiner, that "no Schreiner took such a gift from such a man". Instead, Schreiner went up to Trinity College, Cambridge to read Law. Like his father, who had also studied at Cambridge, Schreiner had a brilliant academic career, topping the list for Part I of the Law Tripos in 1912, winning the George Long Prize in Roman Law, and receiving a Trinity Senior Scholarship. In 1915 he was granted his BA in absentia and in 1916, he was elected to a fellowship of Trinity.

His studies were interrupted by the First World War: he was commissioned into the British Army, and served with the Northamptonshire Regiment and the South Wales Borderers. he was wounded in the right arm at Trônes Wood during the Battle of the Somme, and received the Military Cross. After recovering from his injuries, he was sent to Mesopotamia, but his ship was torpedoed en route. He was demobilized with the rank of Captain.

Legal career

After the war Schreiner completed his legal studies and was called to the English bar at the Inner Temple, completing his pupillage under Wilfred Greene and Geoffrey Lawrence. He was called to the Transvaal bar in 1920 and set up a practice in Johannesburg, dealing primarily in commercial arbitration, white collar crime and being recognised as a specialist in procedure. He also lectured on the law of torts and crime at the Faculty of Law of University College, Johannesburg (now University of the Witwatersrand), then in its early days: the Law School is today named in his honour. He had a roaring civil practice, and took silk as a King's Counsel in 1935. In the 1920s, he was approached by Jan Hofmeyr to enter politics, but declined to do so.

On 15 February, he was appointed an acting judge of the Transvaal Provincial Division, and was appointed to a permanent position on the court on 1 August 1937. As a trial judge, Schreiner was said to be quiet and polite, but a sharp questioner, and looked primarily after Chamber work. During the Second World War, he presided over a special court in charge of trying cases of sabotage and hampering the war effort. He also presided over the special court which tried Robey Leibbrandt and others for high treason; the judgment ran to 70,000 words and took seven hours to be delivered.

On 1 January 1945, he was promoted to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa, where he served until his retirement in 1960. Initially he heard primarily civil appeals from trial courts as well as tax appeals, but later on exclusively heard second appeals as well as petitions against the executive

During the Coloured Vote Crisis, Schreiner steadfastly refused to endorse the attempts of the Nationalist government to remove Coloured voters from the Cape Province's roll. Finally, after the Appellate Division had been packed with pliant judges, it approved the government's reconstitution of the Senate. Schreiner was the lone dissentient.

Passed over for the Chief Justiceship

Schreiner was twice passed over for appointment as Chief Justice, despite being the most senior appellate judge (tradition dictated that the appointment should go to the most senior appellate judge). On the first occasion he was superseded by Henry Allan Fagan, who accepted the appointment with reluctance; although it was obvious to both that Schreiner was being punished by the government for his role in the coloured vote crisis. Initially the judges of the Court had, at the suggestion of outgoing Chief Justice Albert van der Sandt Centlivres, tried to reach an agreement that they would all refuse appointment, so that the government would be forced to appoint Schreiner. But this plan failed when notorious National Party favourite L. C. Steyn failed to agree. Fagan therefore accepted the Chief Justiceship with misgivings, after consulting with Schreiner, so that Steyn would not be appointed.

When Fagan retired two years later, Schreiner was again passed over, this time losing out to Steyn. Schreiner was later described by Ellison Kahn as "the greatest Chief Justice South Africa never had".

Politically, Ellison Kahn classifies Schreiner as a traditional Cape liberal: he opposed racism, and in old age refused to sit on whites-only bus seats. In 1970, he refused to be renominated as President of the Cripple Care Association of the Transvaal because its constitution had been amended to restrict membership to whites only.

Honours and awards

After his retirement he served on the University of the Witwatersrand Council and as president of the South African Institute of Race Relations. A long-serving member of the Council of the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) he was elected unopposed as Chancellor of the university, serving from 1962 to 1974. He also sat on the appellate courts of various African territories. He was awarded three honorary doctorates: from the University of Cape Town (1958), Witwatersrand (1961) and Rhodes (1963). In 1967, he delivered the Hamlyn Lectures at Cambridge.
The main building at the University of the Witwatersrand Law School is named for him.

The Col de Porte (elevation ) is a mountain pass situated in the Chartreuse Mountains in the  Isère department of France, between Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse to the south and Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse to the north. It sits on the D512 between Grenoble and Chambéry, and prior to 1998 was often crossed in conjunction with the Col du Cucheron and the Col du Granier.

To the east is Chamechaude, the highest summit in the Chartreuse Massif. There is a small ski resort situated near the col.

title: Glynnis Breytenbach

text:
Glynnis Breytenbach (born 9 August 1960, ) is a former prosecutor for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of South Africa and a Member of Parliament for the Democratic Alliance (DA). She is South Africa's Shadow Minister of Justice. In this capacity, she has called for an end to ongoing political interference that has compromised the integrity of the NPA. Her protracted dispute with the NPA over her suspension in 2012 from its Specialised Commercial Crime Unit was covered extensively in the media. In 2017, she published a memoir, Rule of Law, and in 2018 was shortlisted for the National Director of Public Prosecutions post at the NPA, but later withdrew her candidacy.

Departure from the NPA
In April 2012, acting National Director of Public Prosecutions Nomgcobo Jiba suspended Breytenbach from her position as a regional head at the NPA's Specialised Commercial Crime Unit (SCCU), on the basis of a complaint laid by a company called Imperial Crown Trading. Breytenbach has claimed that she was suspended because she had pursued the prosecution of Richard Mdluli, former head of the police's Crime Intelligence Division, on fraud and corruption charges. The charges against Mdluli were dropped by Lawrence Mrwebi, the head of the SCCU, a decision which was later found to have been unlawful.

Disciplinary proceedings, which at Breytenbach's request were open to the media, cleared Breytenbach of any wrongdoing in May 2013, a year after she was suspended. In the interim, she had unsuccessfully challenged her suspension at the Public Service Bargaining Council and in court. She was also acquitted of multiple criminal charges relating to documents which she had accidentally deleted from her work computer. However, after unsuccessfully challenging her subsequent transfer out of the SCCU, she resigned from the NPA in January 2014, joined the DA shortly afterwards, and was sworn in as a Member of Parliament that May. In February 2014, she reached a settlement with the NPA on all outstanding labour disputes.

Pumeza Matshikiza (born 27 February 1979) is a South-African operatic soprano. A graduate of the Royal College of Music and a member of the Royal Opera's Jette Parker Young Artists Programme from 2007 to 2009, she made her début as a flower maiden in Parsifal and has gone on to sing leading soprano roles with Stuttgart Opera. Matshikiza has released two solo albums on the Decca Classics label.

Career
Matshikiza was born in Lady Frere, South Africa. She studied at the University of Cape Town College of Music, graduated cum laude under Professor Virginia Davids, then at the Royal College of Music, London, with a full three-year scholarship and in the Young Artist Programme at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where she made her début as a flower maiden in Parsifal. Winner of the Veronica Dunne International Singing Competition in Dublin in 2010, Pumeza later joined the Stuttgart Opera, where she has been part of the full-time ensemble since 2011, performing Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro, Mimì in La bohème, Micaëla in Carmen.

Signing with the London-based label Decca in 2013, she recorded her debut album, Pumeza - Voice of Hope, at Abbey Road Studios.

She sang one of the Innocents in the 2008 première of Harrison Birtwistle's The Minotaur, and her first major role was that of Mimì at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010 in a production by Opera Bohemia. There she was described as "the real star of the show ... who plays the role of Mimi ... with a rich, lustrous voice. She also sang at the wedding of Albert II, Prince of Monaco, and Charlene Wittstock, accompanied by French guitarist Eric Sempe and percussionist Patrick Mendez. She was a South Bank Sky Arts Breakthrough Award in 2011. Pumeza performed a rendition of "Freedom Come-All-Ye" at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, which was viewed by one billion people worldwide. The song refers to Nyanga, one of the oldest black townships in Cape Town, which is also one of the places where Pumeza grew up as a child. Speaking about the song afterwards, she said: "The song [...] is not one I was even aware of until I was given it to rehearse but it is so beautiful. I love what the song stands for – freedom for everyone regardless of race or social standing or nationality."

She released her debut studio album, Voice of Hope in 2014 on Decca Records and containing four classical arias from Puccini and Mozart, in addition to mainly African popular and traditional. The Staatsorchester Stuttgart and Simon Hewett accompany her for the arias, whereas the Aurora Orchestra and Iain Farrington accompany her for most of the songs, with one song with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.

On 7 July 2020, she announced being tested positive for COVID-19 after being hospitalized for three days.
