title: Columbus Saints Drum and Bugle Corps

text:
Columbus Saints Drum and Bugle Corps  is an all-age drum and bugle corps based in Columbus, Ohio. The corps is a member of Drum Corps Associates (DCA), and also competes in Drum Corps International All-Age Class.

History
Founded as the Saints Drumline in 2003  by Marshall Cheatham; a social worker, and juvenile corrections officer, the corps began as an after-school musical outlet for kids. In 2012, the drumline expanded into a drum and bugle corps using a stock of G major bugles.

The corps partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Columbus in 2014 to provide free music programs for club members in the Franklinton neighborhood. The "BOOM" performance ensemble resulted from this partnership.

The Saints completed a one-year residency at Flex High School, a charter school supported by the United Way of Central Ohio, in 2017. The residency allowed the corps to offer performance opportunities to students. Later that year, the corps applied to compete as a member of Drum Corps Associates (DCA). After an evaluation by DCA board members, the corps was approved for competition in Class A in June 2018.

Beginning in 2019, the Columbus Saints was approved for competition in Drum Corps International's All Age Division, which allows the corps to perform at a greater number of shows closer to Ohio, where DCA adjudicated shows are scarce due to the geographic location of the majority of DCA member corps. During the spring of 2019, the Columbus Saints equipment trailer was stolen, and with the assistance of local news, politicians, and law enforcement was recovered enabling the corps to continue its 2019 season.

As part of the 2021 non-competitive DCI season, the Saints performed at DCI shows, including the Indianapolis celebration, and livestreams.

About
The corps is sponsored by the Saints Performing Arts, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization. Marshall Cheatham is the founder and CEO, and the LeRon Carlton is executive director of the Saints's programs including the corps.

Mission and traditions
The corps' mission is "inspiring teamwork, discipline, and respect through the performing arts, in our Central Ohio community." The corps recites the "Saint's creed" to build morale and camaraderie prior to performances.

McNab wears cowboy attire and specializes in "elevated chuck wagon fare". A native of New Hampshire, McNab got his culinary training in Bad Kissingen, Germany. He is a former executive head chef at the Kessler Canyon hunting lodge in De Beque, Colorado.

In 2013, McNab participated in "The Ol' Switcheroo" episode of Guy's Grocery Games, losing in the final. He also performs as a country singer under the name The Black Mamba.

Controversy
Although McNab was declared the winner of the tenth season of Food Network Star, a series for him never materialized. Days after he was crowned the winner, news outlets reported blog posts featuring racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments made by him, with several comments targeted at fellow Food Network chef Ree Drummond.

title: Food challenge

text:
Food challenges, such as the gallon challenge or the saltine cracker challenge, are specific  challenges or competitions involving food. Milk chugging is a popular competitive eating challenge on college campuses, and was promoted by MTV's Jackass in the early 2000s via their various food skits.

With the rise of the Internet, Internet phenomena have increasingly spread through chain emails, YouTube, and social media, encouraging people to "challenge" their friends by spreading the message to others, as well as creating viral Internet memes.

Some "challenges" on the internet can seriously harm participants. The cinnamon challenge, a dare to attempt to eat a specified amount of ground cinnamon within a minute, has a strong risk of people gagging on cinnamon inhaled into the lungs. In July 2015, a four-year-old boy died of asphyxiation after ingesting cinnamon.

text:
The Samsung NX mini is a digital rangefinder-style interchangeable lens mirrorless camera announced by Samsung on March 19, 2014.

Design features
The NX mini features a self-portrait mode where flipping the rear screen to face forward turns the camera on, and a wink will start a two-second countdown timer to shutter release. Photographs may be shared via flickr and Dropbox when the NX mini is connected using its onboard Wi-Fi, or transmitted to compatible smartphones through NFC.

NX Mini 2

In June 2015, rumors were circulated of a NX mini 2. Based on leaked specifications, the NX mini 2 would feature high-resolution 4K video recording and interchangeable front covers. It would use the same sensor with an AMOLED rear screen and a battery with slightly less capacity (1820 mAh versus 2330 mAh).

Lenses
The NX mini uses a 1" sensor, giving it a 2.7x crop factor relative to 35mm. It uses the Samsung NX-M lens mount with a register of 6.95 mm, which is among the shortest in existence. An adaptor (ED-MA4NXM) may be separately purchased to mount larger lenses using the Samsung NX-mount, which is designed for an APS-C sensor.

title: Dr. J.A. Gorman House

text:
The Dr. J. A. Gorman House (also known as the Hanging Cottage) is a historic residence in Mentone, Alabama.  The house was built as a vacation home by Dr. Gorman in 1922.  In 1944 Gorman sold the house to local physician W. T. Cantrell, who practiced medicine in the house until 1979.  It got its nickname, the "Hanging Cottage", from its position on the brow of Lookout Mountain.  Part of the bungalow's foundation is a 22-foot (6.7-m) high rock wall on the brow side.  The house takes advantage of its view with 55 windows and a 15-foot (4.5-m) wide porch wrapping around the house.  The materials on the house also blend with the surroundings, such as its use of log timbers as porch supports and hand-cut stone chimney.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

Reception

Critical
The film received generally positive reviews. Glenn Heath Jr. of Slant Magazine rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and writes "The Duel turns in violent circles for most of its running time, but the final battle sequence gratuitously displays the film's keen attempt at political commentary." City on Fire rated the film an 8.5 out of 10 and writes "The Duel is a well-paced, action packed tale that won't disappoint. It's the perfect example of Chang Cheh’s slickness. It's also one of Ti Lung’s and David Chiang’s coolest roles together." Ian Jane of DVD Talk rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and praised its action scenes, interesting plot twists and the performances by Ti and Chiang.

Box office
The film grossed HK$1,375,619.20 at the Hong Kong box office during its theatrical run from 21 April to 6 May 1971 in Hong Kong.

title: 2015 PGA Championship

text:
The 2015 PGA Championship was the 97th PGA Championship, held August 13–16 on the Straits Course of Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin (the course is physically in Haven but holds a Kohler mailing address due to its Kohler Company ownership). It was the third PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, which previously hosted in 2004 and 2010, as well as the United States Senior Open in 2007, all held on the Straits Course.

Jason Day won his first major championship title with a total score of 268 (−20), at the time the lowest score in relation to par ever recorded in a major (a mark since equaled by Henrik Stenson during his win at the 2016 Open Championship, Dustin Johnson at the 2020 Masters Tournament, and Cameron Smith at the 2022 Open Championship). Jordan Spieth, attempting to win his third major of the year, finished in second place three strokes behind. The second-place finish allowed Spieth to surpass Rory McIlroy as number one in the Official World Golf Ranking. Day was the fifth Australian to win the PGA Championship, the first in twenty years.

Round summaries

First round
Thursday, August 13, 2015

Dustin Johnson recorded five birdies and an eagle and opened with a  round of 66 (−6) for a one-stroke lead. This was the third consecutive major championship in which Johnson has held at least a share of the lead after the first round. David Lingmerth birdied five out of his first seven holes on the way to a round of 67 (−5) and is a stroke behind. Defending champion Rory McIlroy, playing his first tournament since the U.S. Open after an ankle injury, opened with a round of 71 (−1), as did Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth.

Second round
Friday, August 14, 2015
Saturday, August 15, 2015

Play was suspended at 5:28 p.m. CDT due to thunderstorms with Jason Day and Matt Jones tied for the lead at nine-under par. David Lingmerth was the clubhouse leader at seven-under. Hiroshi Iwata tied a major championship record with a round of 63 (−9), the 27th time that had been achieved in a major and 13th time at the PGA Championship.

Third round
Saturday, August 15, 2015

Following the completion of the second round on Saturday morning, the third round began at 9:15 a.m. CDT. After a round of 66 (−6), which included eight birdies and an eagle to offset a double bogey at the 15th, Jason Day built a two-stroke lead after 54 holes. Day carried at least a share of the lead into the final round for the third consecutive major championship, the first since Phil Mickelson in 2006 to do so. Jordan Spieth birdied six out of his last eight holes for a bogey-free round of 65 (−7) to move into second place. Branden Grace had the low round of the day with a 64 (−8) and jumped from 28th at the start of the round to a tie for third.

Final round
Sunday, August 16, 2015

Jason Day set a major championship scoring record on the way to a three-stroke victory and his first career major. After a round of 67 (−5) he finished the tournament at 20-under-par, breaking the previous major scoring record set by Tiger Woods at the 2000 Open Championship. Jordan Spieth, looking to join Woods and Ben Hogan with three major victories in a year, began the final round two strokes behind but was never able to close that deficit, finishing three shots behind. Spieth finished the year 54-under-par at the majors, also surpassing Woods' record from 2000. Branden Grace and Justin Rose also got to within two shots of the lead but fell from contention after double bogeys at the 10th and 13th, respectively.

title: The Lemonade War

text:
The Lemonade War is a children's novel written by American author Jacqueline Davies, published in 2007. It is the first of the Lemonade War series.

Plot
The book begins with Evan in his parents' basement, avoiding his younger sister, Jessie. It is revealed he is annoyed about a letter notifying their mother that Jessie is skipping third grade to be in Evan's fourth grade class. Jessie is excited about moving up, but Evan is irritated because his sister is good at math and is worried she might embarrass him. As payback, he makes a lemonade stand with his friend Scott, rudely rebuffing Jessie. In retaliation, Jessie sets up her own lemonade stand, and gets a friend, Megan, to help out. The two siblings concoct a plan to earn $100, and whoever has the more successful lemonade stand gets the loser's earnings. Jessie uses her math and business skills to set goals (such as creating a franchise scheme with many girls selling lemonade for her) and Evan utilizes his skills at talking to people. The five-day war takes a disastrous turn when Jessie mixes dead fruit flies in Evan's lemonade, leading to his sales tanking. Evan steals Jessie's earnings in revenge, but then loses the money while he attends a friend's pool party. The two siblings reconcile by expressing regret for their actions towards each other.

Reception
According to Kirkus Reviews, the book's events were simple to comprehend for its target readers. The book presented the feelings and intentions of the characters clearly, but could have benefited from adding more nuance to their personalities. Other reviews praised the book's humorous approach to teaching lessons about economics, while noting that the plot was still driven by Jessie and Evan's sibling rivalry.

title: Gertrude Tiemer

text:
Gertrude Tiemer Wille (March 4, 1897 – March 20, 1967) was an American painter, photographer, and poet. Tiemer achieved her greatest notoriety for inter-dimensional, multi-exposure photography. Her paintings of landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and other pieces adopted both the realist and abstract styles of art. Tiemer exhibited her work at galleries in Maine, New York City, and other venues throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Early life and education

Tiemer was born to Paul Tiemer and Carrie Freeman Tiemer in East Orange, New Jersey in 1897. She graduated from the Beard School (now Morristown-Beard School) in Orange, New Jersey in 1915. During her studies at the school, she captured a photograph that made the Roll of Honor of St. Nicholas Magazine, a children's magazine, in 1913. She also had a drawing on the Roll of Honor of the magazine.

After high school, Tiemer studied at the Art Students League of New York, and she took art classes in Rome, Italy. While living in Italy, Tiemer owned a studio in Anticoli Corrado, a hill village populated by artists. She studied under Maurice Sterne, a noted Latvian American sculptor and painter. The Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian includes a photo of Sterne and his students, including Tiemer. She also studied under artist Marsden Hartley, who painted using the American Modernist style. The Marsden Hartley Memorial Collection at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine includes his correspondence with Tiemer and writer Gertrude Stein.

Art exhibitions and poetry readings

Tiemer exhibited her artwork at galleries throughout Maine. She exhibited at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art in 1943 and at the L. D. M. Sweat Memorial Galleries at the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine in 1949. Tiemer also showcased her work throughout the New York City metropolitan area. In 1927, she exhibited at a Whitney Studio Club, an exhibit space for emerging and avant-garde artists run by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Tiemer exhibited at the Salons of America's show at the American Art Association - Anderson Galleries in New York City in 1931. Her 1939 exhibit at the American Women's Association at West 57th Street in Manhattan showed her paintings of chrysanthemums. Tiemer also exhibited at the National Arts Club in Gramercy Park.

In 1940, Tiemer's sonnet "October Rose" won first prize in a poetry contest sponsored by the Manor Club in Pelham, New York. Her poem titled "Plum Tree" earned an honorable mention in the contest. Tiemer won second prize and earned four honorable mentions at the Manor  club's 1939 literary contest. Founded as a men's club, the Manor Club is the oldest women's cultural club in Westchester County, New York. During the 1950s, Tiemer published her poetry in Voices: A Journal of Poetry.

Collections with her work

Tiemer's photograph titled "Summer's Child" appears in a photography collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Taken on a beach, the chromogenic print depicts her granddaughter, Karen Adams. The museum purchased the photograph in 1962 through funds in the bequest of Joseph Pulitzer. Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. contains a folder of Tiemer's work. The Stephen Merrill Photograph Collection at Bowdoin College contains a photograph of her taken at Cundy's Harbor in Harpswell, Maine.

Island home at Gabriel

Tiemer spent her winters in New York City and her summers at the family home called Gabriel on Dingley Island. Located in the Casco Bay, Dingley Island sits off the coast of Maine near Brunswick. While visiting Maine for a birthday party, Tiemer had happened upon the property just as the previous owner put it up for sale. She bid for the house that day and received ownership only 10 minutes after placing her bid. The home's namesake of Gabriel came from a wooden weathervane from the late 18th Century that adorned its stables.

During her time on the island, Tiemer collected driftwood (that she termed sea-scoured wood and tidewood) and painted it using an abstract style. She created a collection of painted wood from the sea called Sea Formed Symbolism.

Family

Tiemer married Frederick Willie in 1915. He ran the New York City office of the Saturday Evening Post, a bimonthly magazine. Tiemer and Frederick Willie had a daughter named Erica.

title: Cornell gorge suicides

text:
The  Cornell gorge suicides were a series of suicides at Cornell University beginning in the 1970s and including a high-profile cluster of six suicides in the 2009–10 school year. The suicides occurred on bridges that span several gorges on Cornell's Ithaca campus.

History
An investigation by Cornell University alumnus Rob Fishman, writing in The Huffington Post, found that multiple suicides had occurred in the 1970s and 1990s. Between 1991 and 1994, five students died by suicide in the gorges.

The half-dozen suicides in the 2009–2010 academic year marked the first instances of student suicides at Cornell since 2005. Stepped-up efforts to help students with mental health issues began in 2002 and intensified after David J. Skorton became Cornell's president in 2007. New fences were set up following the 2010 gorge suicides. Cornell indicated that it planned to set up nets on five of the university's bridges, which will extend out 15 feet. Installation of the nets began in May 2013 and were completed over the summer. Between 1990 and 2010, 27 people, including fifteen Cornell students as well as others, had died by suicide via bridge-jumping in Ithaca.

The first survivor of a fall from the infamous Thurston Avenue bridge was Derek McCarthy, who attempted suicide on the night of October 21, 1991. Having recovered sufficiently from his injuries, McCarthy returned to Cornell in May 1992 and completed his undergraduate degree in December 1992.

Despite the gorge suicides, Cornell does not have an above-average suicide rate compared to other colleges. The misperception of a high suicide rate has been attributed by some to the public nature of suicides in the gorges.

title: William Lazonick

text:
William Lazonick (born June 8, 1945) is an economist who studies innovation and competition in the global economy.

Lazonick's research seeks to understand how, on the basis of innovative enterprise, a national economy can achieve stable and equitable economic growth. Lazonick is the originator of "the theory of innovative enterprise", which, he argues, provides both an essential intellectual foundation for understanding economic performance and a fundamental critique of the neoclassical theory of the market economy. Much of his current work focuses on how the financialization of the U.S. industrial corporation, manifested in massive distributions of corporate cash to shareholders and the explosion of stock-based executive pay, results in employment instability and income inequality, while undermining the innovative capability of the U.S. economy.

Lazonick also conducts cross-national comparative research on the social conditions that enable or proscribe innovative enterprise, focusing in particular on the economies of Britain, Japan, and China as well as the United States.

Early life

Lazonick was born in Toronto, Canada on June 8, 1945. Lazonick was an undergraduate in Commerce and Finance at the University of Toronto, receiving a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1968.  He then attended the London School of Economics, where he was awarded a Master of Science (Economics) degree, with a Mark of Distinction, in 1969. Lazonick spent one year as a graduate student at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva before entering the PhD program in economics at Harvard University in 1970. For his doctoral thesis, he studied the applicability of Karl Marx's theory of capitalist development to the British Industrial Revolution, the experience that formed the empirical basis for Marx's arguments.

Career

Educational Appointments

In 1975 Lazonick was hired as an assistant professor in the Harvard Economics Department, where he taught comparative economic development, economic history, and the history of economic analysis, all from a perspective that was critical of neoclassical economics. In 1980 he was promoted to associate professor of economics. In 1982-83 he was a visiting professor of economics at the University of Toronto. In 1984-85 Lazonick held the Harvard-Newcomen Fellowship in Business History at Harvard Business School (HBS) and became an initial member of the HBS "Business History Group", working with Alfred D. Chandler, Jr. He remained as a research fellow at HBS in 1985–86 with funding from the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the National Science Foundation.

In 1985 Lazonick was appointed to a tenured professorship of economics at Barnard College of Columbia University. He was also a member of the Graduate Faculty of Columbia University, teaching a PhD course in economic history in the Columbia Economics Department and running a research seminar on national institutions and economic performance with Richard R. Nelson at the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs. In 1989–90, Lazonick was a visiting member in social sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where Albert Hirschman was the resident economist.  In 1990-91 Lazonick was president of the Business History Conference, the leading association of business historians in the United States. Also in 1991 he received an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University for his work on the theory and history of economic development. In 1992 he was a visiting professor of economics at Harvard University.

In 1993, after the publication of three books in the three previous years,  Lazonick left a tenured position at Barnard University for a tenured position at a regional public institution, University of Massachusetts Lowell.  The lure was the opportunity provided, under the administration of Chancellor William T. Hogan, to build an interdisciplinary graduate program in regional economic and social development at an engineering school that had deep historical roots in local industry and was now in the midst of a leading high-tech district, "Route 128".  Over the next 17 years at UMass Lowell, Lazonick participated in the construction of a world-class Master's program in regional development, run by UMass Lowell's Department of Regional Economic and Social Development (RESD), which he co-founded.

From 1996 to 2007 Lazonick was also on the faculty of INSEAD, the international business school in France, where he held an appointment as distinguished research professor.  Additionally, he was a professor of economics at the University of Tokyo (1996-1997) and a visiting professor at the BI Norwegian Business School (2002-2005).  In recent years, he has also held visiting positions at the University of Bordeaux and the University of Toulouse.

Although RESD no longer exists,  Lazonick remains a professor at UMass Lowell, where he co-directs the Center for Industrial Competitiveness. Lazonick is also visiting professor at the University of Ljubljana, where he teaches a PhD course, The Theory of Innovative Enterprise, and at the Telecom Business School, Paris, where he engages in collaborative work on innovation and competition in the global communication technology industries.

The Academic-Industry Research Network
In 2010, Lazonick started a 501(c)(3) organization called the Academic-Industry Research Network, also known as AIRnet, which publishes research from Lazonick and other academics. The organization seeks to foster research regarding economic development, and ways it can become more sustainable and inclusive.

Research

Economic innovation
Lazonick is co-organizer of the Edith Penrose Centenary Conference to be held at SOAS, University of London, on November 14–15, 2014.

Financialization
Much of Lazonick's research has been devoted to stock buybacks and the financialization of economies. This began during his time at Harvard in the 1980s, where he took note of his colleague Michael C. Jensen, who became a major proponent of mass stock buybacks. Since then, Lazonick has publicly advocated against such buybacks through various research papers and articles, becoming a major voice regarding the matter.

Lazonick began this line of research in the late 1980s, becoming an early critic of the belief that companies should be run to maximize shareholder value. In collaboration with Mary O'Sullivan, he continued this work in the 1990s at STEP Group, a research organization directed by Keith Smith in Oslo, Norway, and in the last half of the 1990s and early 2000s at INSEAD, where he directed the European Commission project Corporate Governance, Innovation, and Economic Performance.

In recent years, this research has made Lazonick a sought-after adviser to various United States politicians. Lazonick advised both Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign, and Bernie Sander's 2016 Presidential Campaign, as well as Marco Rubio.

Impact on innovation
Lazonick's 2009 book Sustainable Prosperity in the New Economy? Business Organization and High-Tech Employment in the United States, published by the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, won the 2010 Schumpeter Prize, awarded by the International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society.

Incumbent Democratic Governor John Kitzhaber won re-election to a second consecutive, and fourth overall, term in office. Dennis Richardson was the Republican nominee.

Commissioner of Labor
Incumbent Commissioner of Labor Brad Avakian ran for re-election to a second full term in office. Although Avakian is a Democrat, the position and thus the election are officially nonpartisan.

A nonpartisan primary election was held alongside partisan primary elections on May 20, 2014. Conservative Christian groups, unhappy over Avakian's enforcement action against a bakery that refused to bake a cake for a lesbian couple's wedding, attempted to recruit a challenger, but were unsuccessful. Avakian was unopposed in the election and essentially declared victory on the filing deadline.

U.S. Senate

Incumbent Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley won re-election to a second term in office. Monica Wehby was the Republican nominee.

U.S. House of Representatives

All five of Oregon's seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for re-election in 2014. All five incumbents ran for and won re-election.

State legislature

All 60 seats of the Oregon House of Representatives and 16 of the 30 seats in the Oregon State Senate (last contested in 2010) were up for re-election in 2014. The Democratic party held a 34-26 majority in the state house and a 16-14 majority in the state senate following the Oregon legislative elections of 2012.

title: Monstration

text:
A monstration is a public performance similar to a demonstration but intended as creative performance art, often parodying a serious demonstration. The term was coined by Russian artist Ivan Dyrkin in 2004, and the phenomenon has been most popular in Russia.

History

Soviet Union and Russia
In the 1920s and 1930s, similar processions took place in the Soviet Union. For example, there was a carnival demonstration in defense of beneficial birds. The participants of this procession carried banners like "The tit exterminates 6500 caterpillars a year". But basically these actions were of anti-religious content.

Novosibirsk
In 1933, an anti-religious demonstration took place in Novosibirsk on Christmas Eve. Costumed Komsomol members marched around the city with effigies of priests and crosses and completed the action by burning a Christmas tree near the Lenin House.

In the 1960s and 1980s, absurdist demonstrations were held by the youth of Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. In the 1960s, these actions were organized by the Integral Club.

In November 1995, a march of artists and poets was held, also known as the Styobius Strip (Лента стёбиуса).

In 2004, Artyom Loskutov and members of the Contemporary Art Terrorism group in Novosibirsk joined the annual May Day demonstration. They were carrying posters with deliberately absurd slogans in an attempt to shake up a boring political procession and to make fun.
Fellow Siberian artist Ivan Dyrkin named the march "Monstration," a demonstration without the prefix de, which he considered a negative connotation as in deconstruction or degradation.

Other cities
The modern monstration incorporates signs and messages that are deliberately absurd, nonsensical and apolitical that indirectly defy the government and express a conceptual paradox. Although monstrations are apolitical, participants have been arrested for political agitation. In 2010, Monstrations took place in 20 cities like Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Vladivostok.

The first monstration in Kursk took place on 1 May 2014.
About 30 people went with the main slogan "For the rights of butterflies in the stomach".

In 2015, the main slogan was "We did not watch Fifty Shades".

Poland
Orange Alternative () was a Polish anti-communist underground movement, started in Wrocław, a city in south-west Poland, in the 1980s. Its main purpose was to offer a wider group of citizens an alternative way of opposition against the authoritarian regime by means of peaceful street protests that used absurd and nonsensical elements.

Alytus, Lithuania
From 2009 to 2017 a series of Art strike Biennales were held at the Alytus art school. Organised by Redas Diržys and the psychic workers union.

Recognition
In 2011 Monstration was recognized for "Innovation" by a government agency of modern art and selected as "Best in the Region."

Government outrage
In 2014, Artyom Loskutov attempted to organize a routine monstration for August 17, when he ran into trouble. "We were talking about having a march, which is absolutely allowed under law," Loskutov says. "But in writing about it, we wrote about creating a Siberian Republic within the Russian Federation. There was no talk about separatism or anything, it's just that Moscow doesn't govern the regions very effectively."

The purpose of the protest was to ridicule Kremlin's hypocrisy in the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and to raise awareness about politics in Siberia. "They decided to tell us how great it is when some republic moves for self-determination. Okay, well let's apply this to other regions. Can Siberia allow itself this same rhetoric? It turns out it can't."

Russian telecommunications regulator Roskomnadzor launched a media blackout of the event, issued warnings to 14 media outlets that ran the story and threatened to close BBC Russian Service for reporting the announcement. Roskomnadzor also launched an official investigation against BBC to confirm "an apparent violation of the law." In response, BBC added a description of the event as a “parody” that in no way promoted Siberia's independence from Moscow.

Russian authorities compared the potential monstration protest to Euromaidan that led to the 2014 Ukrainian revolution. Nikolai Valuyev called it the "first attempt of global efforts to promote separatism in Russia."

According to Dmitry Zhuravlyov, director of Institute for Regional Problems based in Moscow, "I can understand the position of these people [organizers of the march] on a psychological level," Zhuravlyov said. "They want to have more control over the riches of Siberia, and that is understandable. But what is unacceptable to Russia is that this whole idea goes against the Constitution. You cannot change the status of your region just like that." President Vladimir Putin recently signed legislation that introduced prison sentences for violations of territorial integrity in Russia.

title: Francis S. Hesseltine

text:
Francis Snow Hesseltine (December 10, 1833 – February 17, 1916) was a Union Army soldier in the American Civil War who received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism on December 30, 1863, while serving as the lieutenant colonel of the 13th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, at Matagorda Bay, Texas.  His Medal of Honor was issued on March 2, 1895.

Early life
Francis Hesseltine was born in Bangor, Maine, in 1833 and educated at Colby College in Waterville.  While a student at Colby, he was the first citizen of Waterville to volunteer to serve in the Union Army.   The sophomore student was elected captain of a company in the 3rd Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, a unit made up almost entirely of college students. Had the war not intervened, Hesseltine would have graduated from Colby in June 1863.

Civil War service
By February 1862 Hesseltine was a lieutenant colonel in the Thirteenth Maine Regiment.  The regiment was sent to Ship Island, Mississippi, where he was given command of Fort Jackson and Fort St. Phillip, which were located 70 miles south of New Orleans, and protected the approaches to the city.

In October 1863 concerns about Mexico possibly entering the war allied with the Confederacy caused the Thirteenth Maine to be shipped to Brownsville, Texas, at the mouth of the Rio Grande River.

Medal of Honor action
In late December 1863 Hesseltine led a detachment of 100 men in a reconnaissance of the Matagorda peninsula, which covered the approach to the harbor of Corpus Christi, Texas.  On December 28, a regiment of 1,000 Confederate cavalrymen discovered his reconnaissance detachment and attacked Hesseltine's command.

On the 28th, seven miles from the head of Matagorda peninsula all contact was cut off with the transport ship which could evacuate Hesseltine's force due to heavy surf.  The enemy was at his rear and he was, effectively, surrounded.

In Hesseltine's own words, "Soon, by the aid of my glass, I was able to discern the head of a body of cavalry moving down the peninsula … their line stretched steadily towards us … in half an hour their skirmishers were swarming up close to mine, slightly heeding the shall and shrapnel … half our skirmishers faced about and gave them a volley … I knew my men. They were cool; and determined rather than the rebels should meet the first encouragement of this campaign, that they would die there."

As of 3 p.m. on the third day, Hesseltine had located his transport ship, and his unit boarded without loss of lives or equipment.  The 100 infantrymen from Maine had inflicted significant casualties on the 1,000 Confederate cavalrymen and sank their gunboat.

Post war
After the war, Hesseltine studied law in Portland, then moved to Savannah, Georgia, and lived there until 1870, when he opened a law practice in Boston with his son.  He then moved to Melrose, Massachusetts, residing at 45 West Emerson Street.  He became involved in the public life of the growing town.

He became active in political and public endeavors, serving on the building committee for town hall, helping fund the Melrose Improvement Society.   The Melrose Improvement Society planted over 3,000 trees and cleared the town common.

Hibson was born in London, England on August 3, 1843, and joined the Army from New York City in August 1861. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, for extraordinary heroism on 13,14 and 18 July 1863, while serving as a Private with Company C, 48th New York Infantry, near Fort Wagner, South Carolina.
