title: SX carriages

text:
The SX carriages were a type of passenger carriages constructed by Commonwealth Engineering for the Queensland Railways in 1961–1962.

History
The SX carriage stainless steel bodyshells were constructed by Commonwealth Engineering, Granville with the fitout undertaken at Rocklea in 1961/62. They were built to operate suburban services on the Brisbane rail network. They shared many components with the New South Wales U set carriages.

Initially hauled by steam and later diesel locomotives, provision was made for their conversion to electric multiple units once the network was electrified. Sixteen seven-carriage sets were completed. The conversion never occurred and they were gradually replaced from the 1980s as EMUs and SMUs entered service. The last was withdrawn on 2 December 1999.

To allow extra services to be operated during the 1987 America's Cup yacht regatta in Fremantle, 14 were leased to Transperth in October 1986. Initially intended as a short-term deal, they would remain in Perth until returned to Queensland in 1991. Others were exported to the Auckland Regional Council, Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia and State Railway of Thailand.

Zig Zig Railway - Auckland set

Seven SX carriages were imported to New Zealand in the early 2000s. A set of six were overhauled for the Auckland Regional Council. These were overhauled by the Hillside Workshops in 2002/2003, further refurbished in 2008/2009 and retired in 2014/15 as the AM class EMUs were introduced. SXA1744 was sold by Auckland Transport in its imported condition to Dunedin Railways and was used for storage. It was later on sold and is now privately owned and located near Bluff as of 2021. The six carriages in MAXX livery were stored in Taumarunui in the central North Island until sold for a dollar each to the Railway Enthusiasts Society. Five of the number consisted of AT MAXX set of SXV1697, SXC1741, SXC1742, SXC1743 and SXV1746. After a detailed inspection, they did not fulfil their needs and were advertised to Australian and New Zealand preservations groups. One was sold to Taumarunui Rail Action Centre Trust. There was no further interest in the remaining five, so they were advertised on auction site TradeMe and were sold to private owners around New Zealand with bogies in March 2021 and were removed from Taumarunui on 17 June 2021. SXC1743 was relocated to Whanganui, SXC1742 went to Hastings and the remaining three carriages went to a single owner in Taupo.

One set (7 cars) has been retained by Queensland Rail's Heritage Division while others have been preserved including seven at the DownsSteam Tourist Railway & Museum, another set in Cairns with Cairns Kuranda Steam Pty Ltd (stored in Cairns) and a set owned by Queensland University of Technology (stored at Ipswich).

title: Nazipur Government College

text:
Nazipur Government College is a public college in Patnitala Upazila, Bangladesh. It is an honors level college, affiliated to National University.

History
Nazipur Mahaviddalaya was established in 1973. The founding principal was Md. Moez Uddin. Initially it operated out of Nazipur High School. Land was donated to the college, a building was constructed, and in 1977 the college moved to its present location on the east side of the Nazipur-Dhamoirhat road in Patnitala. The college was nationalized in 1985, becoming Nazipur Government College. It is affiliated to National University.

Honors courses in Islamic history and culture began in 2007, but honors courses in other subjects could not be started because of severe and prolonged teacher shortages. The percentage of vacant teaching posts was 48%, 36%, and 21% respectively in the years from 2016 to 2018. Some positions had been unfilled for nearly a decade. There were no teachers in three departments, only one teacher in each of nine departments, and two teachers in the other departments.

title: Bumneng

text:
Bumneng is a suburb of Lae in the Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.

Location
The location of Bumneng, according to the Lae telephone directory is west of Bumbu River, north of Botanical Gardens, east of Eriku and south of Omili.

Within the suburb of Bumneng is the Admin Compound, Soccer Association, Lae Botanic Gardens and Lae Polytechnic College.

Lae Polytechnic College

Lae Polytechnic College is located on Milford Haven Rd at the junction of Bumbu Road Bumneng.

Formerly Lae Technical School it was established is in 1953 at Busu Secondary grounds and relocated to present site between 1954 and 1955. In 1965 the school was changed to a college. On December, 2009, the status changed again from college to a polytechnic institute and is now called the National Polytechnic Institute of PNG in line with the National Education Plan. In 2011 a study found that employers were dissatisfied with the services provided by the colleges and strongly emphasised the need for a coordinating education authority.

In 2013 expansion plans for the Institute were impeded by illegal settlements near the National Polytechnic Institute.

Admin Compound

The Admin Compound is located between the Bumbu River and behind the Lae Polytechnic College.  According to census date, there are 47 households with a population of 381 persons.

Flooding
Between December 1983 and July 1992, Lae experienced two major flood and mudslide disasters. In both cases, hundreds of people lost their homes. The 1983 floods remain the worst since the establishment of the town in the late 1920s. These floods left hundreds of people homeless particularly those living along the banks of the Bumbu River. Many houses were damaged or completely destroyed and hundreds of people at the Five Mile settlement along the Highland highway were also affected by mud-slides.

Meanwhile, provincial and national leaders met to find solutions to the problem of how to resettle people displaced by the disaster and to the north of the city a block of land was allocated, planned and developed for the resettlement of the disaster victims. This 'Tensiti' settlement was developed in 1992 on the former Serafini plantation with sealed road networks, water and electricity.

During the 2007 floods engineers were also working out how the flooding Bumbu River in Lae would be diverted to save residences at Admin Compound which were threatened by the floodwaters.

title: Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council

text:
Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council is the local authority for the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale in West Yorkshire, England. The council styles itself Calderdale Council. It is a metropolitan district council, one of five in West Yorkshire and one of 36 in the metropolitan counties of England. It provides the majority of local government services in Calderdale. Since 2014 the council has been a constituent member of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

History
The metropolitan district of Calderdale was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. It covered the area of eight former districts and part of a ninth, which were all abolished at the same time:
Municipal Borough of Brighouse
Elland Urban District
County Borough of Halifax
Hebden Royd Urban District
Hepton Rural District
Queensbury and Shelf Urban District (Shelf part only, Queensbury went to Bradford)
Ripponden Urban District
Sowerby Bridge Urban District
Municipal Borough of Todmorden

The county borough of Halifax had provided all local government services in its area. The other eight districts had been lower-tier authorities with West Riding County Council providing county-level services. The new Calderdale district was awarded borough status from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor.

Calderdale was initially a district-level authority, with West Yorkshire County Council providing county-level services. However, the metropolitan county councils, including West Yorkshire County Council, were abolished in 1986 under the Local Government Act 1985. Since 1986 Calderdale Council has therefore been responsible for most local government functions.

The council has been a constituent member of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority since 2014, which has been led by the  directly elected Mayor of West Yorkshire since 2021.

Governance

Political control
The council has been under Labour majority control since 2019.

The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. County-level services were provided by West Yorkshire County Council until its abolition in 1986, when Calderdale became a unitary authority. Political control of the council since 1973 has been held by the following parties:

Leadership
The role of Mayor of Calderdale is largely ceremonial. Political leadership is instead provided by the leader of the council. The leaders since 1999 have been:

Composition
Following the 2023 election, the composition of the council was:

The next election is due in 2024.

Premises
The council is based at Halifax Town Hall, which had been built for one of the council's predecessors, the Halifax Borough Council, in 1863.

Elections

Since the last boundary changes in 2004 the council has comprised 51 councillors representing 17 wards, with each ward electing three councillors. Elections are held three years out of every four, with a third of the council (one councillor for each ward) elected each time for a four-year term of office.

title: Amor d'un'ombra e gelosia d'un'aura

text:
Amor d'un'ombra e gelosia d'un'aura ("The Love of a Shade and the Jealousy of an Aura"), also known as Narciso ("Narcissus"), is an opera in three acts composed by Domenico Scarlatti to a libretto by Carlo Sigismondo Capece. It premiered in Rome in January 1714 at the private theatre of Maria Casimira of Poland who had commissioned the work. The libretto is based on two fables from Ovid's Metamorphoses: Echo and Narcissus (Book III)  and Cephalus and Procris (Book VII).

Background and performance history
Queen Maria Casimira had taken up residence in Rome in 1699 following the death of her husband Jan III Sobieski and her subsequent exile from Poland. Once in Rome she set up a court and became an active figure the city's musical life. In 1709, Domenico Scarlatti succeeded his father Alessandro as her court composer. His librettist, Carlo Capece, was her private secretary and court poet. Amor d'un'ombra e gelosia d'un'aura premiered at Maria Casimira's private theatre in the Palazzo Zuccari in January 1714 and proved to be the last of the several operas which Scarlatti had composed for her. Five months after the premiere, she departed for France, leaving a string of debts behind her.

In addition to Scarlatti's opera, the 1714 Carnival opera season in Rome saw the premieres of Caldara's Tito e Berenice (also with a libretto by Capece) and Gasparini's Lucio Papirio (with a libretto by Antonio Salvi). These two were the result of a competition set by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, a prominent patron of the arts in Rome. Two rival academies, the Accademia degli Arcadi and the Accademia dei Quirini, were each to sponsor an opera to be performed in the newly renovated Teatro Capranica. Ottoboni would give a generous gift to the academy which had produced the best one. According to a French correspondent at the time, Tito e Berenice had considerably less success with the audiences than Lucio Papirio, but the best opera presented that season was actually Amor d'un'ombra e gelosia d'un'aura.

A revised version of the opera with the addition of two arias and two duets composed by Thomas Roseingrave opened at the Haymarket Theatre in London on 30 May 1720 under the title Narciso. Roseingrave also published the overture and arias of the opera, the only vocal music of Scarlatti that was printed in his lifetime. Capece's original libretto was adapted for the London performance by Paolo Antonio Rolli who eliminated the role of Nicandro. While the cast for the Rome premiere is unknown, the principal roles in the London performance were taken by Margherita Durastanti (Narciso), Anastasia Robinson (Eco),   Benedetto Baldassari (Cefalo), and Ann Turner Robinson (Procri).

The Haymarket Theatre Narciso proved to be the last time one of Scarlatti's operas was performed in his lifetime. The discovery of a copy of the manuscript score in the library of Friedrich Chrysander led to several late 20th and early 21st century revivals. A version using the voices of opera singers but with the characters portrayed on stage by marionettes was produced in 2002 at the Besançon International Music Festival.

Forest Park School District 91 is a school district headquartered in Forest Park, Illinois, United States in the Chicago area. Dr. Louis Cavallo is the current superintendent and has held the position since 2007.

Demographics
In 2014 the district enrolled approximately 1,000 students. It included two K-2 schools, two 3-5 schools, and one middle school with grades 6–8. As of 2018, the school enrollment is 782. The student population is 51.4% African American, 12.9% Hispanic, 3.7% Asian, and 22.5% White. Low income students comprise 52.7% of the district enrollment.

Administrator and Faculty Salaries
As of 2018 the average administrator salary is $123,589, substantially above the state average of $107,279. On the other hand, the average teacher salary in the district is 62,042 which is below the state average of 65,721.

National Equity Project and Columbus Day Removal
As an attempt to combat a persistent academic achievement gap between students of color and white students the district sought help from the National Equity Project. "In February 2018, the board approved a $40,000 contract with the National Equity Project, and board members and D91 administrators have since received training from the group."

In 2019 the district will celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day in place of Columbus Day. "D91 administration has also had discussions about the narrative around Thanksgiving and the best way to navigate Thanksgiving pageants. '[We've discussed] how having kids dress up as Indians is inappropriate,' Cavallo said."

Settlement of Age and Racial Discrimination Lawsuit
In March 2012, a former part-tme lunch attendant sued District 91. She alleged that the district fired her for "alerting the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund that the district had removed her retirement benefits and taken away 40 sick days accrued over 16 years." The alleged victim also claimed that she was fired because of her age and race. In December 2012 the District 91 Board of Education approved a settlement of $10,000 to the alleged victim and a further $5,000 to her lawyer. All parties involved signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Local Public High School Matriculation
In 1996 Joseph Scoliere, the superintendent of the Forest Park School District 91, stated that of the 91 students graduating from the 8th grade in June 1996, 25 enrolled at Proviso East High School, the zoned high school serving the Forest Park area.

title: Shekarbura

text:
Shekarbura () is a sweet pastry, dating back to at least the Sassanid era.

In the Republic of Azerbaijan it is called şəkərbura and is used as a dessert.
It is a sweet pastry in half-moon shape, filled with ground almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts, and sugar. Shekerbura, shorgoghal, and pakhlava are the iconic foods of Novruz holiday in Azerbaijan.

In Azerbaijan, it usually involves teamwork of relatives, friends and neighbors who congregate at someone's home to make this Nowruz delight. Like other pastries prepared for Nowruz, shekerbura also has a symbolic meaning which denotes the half-moon or flame of fire.

Name and meaning
The name for this crescent-shaped pastry comes from Persian shekar bureh شکربوره. Shekar means sugar in Persian and Bureh is a word that goes back to the Middle Persian *Bōrak. This word ultimately goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root *bher- which meant "to carve, cut, split,". Turkic languages have borrowed this word from Persian. The name of another pastry, Borak (Börek) is also borrowed from the same Persian word.

Preparation
The dough is made of wheat flour, butter, milk, egg yolks, cream, and yeast. The filling is prepared from peeled almond or fried nuts mixed with sugar powder. It also includes cardamom to flavor the pastry.

The dough is rolled and cut into small round shapes, then filled with stuffing and closed up by making a pattern of stitches. The stitching pattern on the dough is produced using traditional tweezers called .

Other versions
In Persian, it is called shekarbureh (). Originally, it was like a halva made from sugar and almonds. Its alternate names in Persian include Shekarborak, Shekarbora, Shekarpareh, Shekarbozeh  and Shekarpirah. In its different variations, the dessert is also common in Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkey.

In Anatolia this pastry is called Şekerpare in Turkish and is one of the popular desserts in the Turkish cuisine. Mainly prepared by baking some soft balls of almond based pastry dipped in thick lemon-flavored sugar syrup, şekerpare is pronounced “sheh-kehr-PAH-rih” in Turkish.

title: Dissernet

text:
Dissernet () is a volunteer community network working to clean Russian science of plagiarism. The core activity of the community is conducting examinations of doctoral and habilitation (higher doctorate) theses defended in Russian scientific and educational institutions since the end of the 1990s, and making the results of such examinations known to as many people as possible. The community is composed of professional scientists working in various fields of science both in Russia and abroad, and also journalists, civil activists and volunteers.

The community was established in January 2013. The full Dissernet site, dissernet.org, as well as its reduced version, dissernet.ru, were opened on 23 September 2013.

By 2016, the project identified around 5,600 suspected plagiarists — focusing on officials in government and academia, and other member the country's elite — and released reports on around 1,300 of them. Russian media regularly report on Dissernet's findings, and the site has been credited with raising attention for the issue of academic fraud in the country. In a 2016 exposé, Dissernet showed that 1 in 9 members of the State Duma had obtained academic degrees with theses that were substantially plagiarized and likely ghostwritten.

Activities
The objective of Dissernet's examinations is to detect gross and deliberate violations of the legally established rules for certification of scientific workers, as well as violations of the regulations for awarding  academic degrees. Dissernet  deems theses containing such violations to be fraudulent, and diplomas certifying the doctoral and higher doctoral degrees conferred after defending such theses to be illegal and subject to cancellation.

The key elements of the dissertation fraud detected in the course of Dissernet's analyses are as follows:

 Large-scale, bad faith and non-attributed  plagiarism   of other people's scientific works and other texts used by the authors of examined works in breach of the proper citation rules fixed in regulations of the  Higher Attestation Commission (VAK) of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia;
 Falsification of scientific research articles which, according to VAK regulations, are a mandatory prerequisite for awarding the respective academic degree to the applicant;
 Gross violations of the rules for thesis preparation (documenting performed research, interaction with the scientific research supervisor, advisor, opponents, co-authors, getting formal responses, etc.) as well as the procedure for defense of the thesis prescribed by VAK regulations.

Within the active phase of Dissernet's activity, which started in January 2013, its members have published results of examinations of thesis defended by scores of well-known and powerful Russian politicians and public figures. As of the middle of the year 2014, more than 2000 completed expertises of Doctoral and higher doctoral theses in various directions and branches of science were contained in Dissernet database. Among the people attracting Dissernet's attention were deputies of the State Duma, members of the Federation Council, governors of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, high-ranking officials of executive authorities, heads of security and military services, etc.

Community manifest
The "Dissernet Manifest", which was developed and agreed upon in June–July 2013, contains the declaration of the organizers and members about the basic objectives, tasks and principles of joint activity of the community members:

“Dissernet”  is a networking community of experts, researchers and reporters seeking to unmask swindlers, forgers and liars. With their joint efforts based on the use of modern computer technologies and principles of networking division of labor, the community members oppose abusive practices, machinations and falsifications in the fields of scientific research and education, in particular in the process of defending theses and awarding academic degrees in Russia. The analytical work and disclosures of Dissernet equally cover various categories of Russian citizens:

 professional scientists or persons claiming to be such scientists without any valid basis.
 politicians and public figures seeking to improve their reputation and gain additional support and respect of their countrymen through defending theses and obtaining official diplomas conferring the doctoral and higher doctoral degree.

The Dissernet members act on a voluntary basis, on their own initiative and without any outside pressure. The examinations, studies and publications of Dissernet are in strict compliance with the laws of the Russian Federation and do not violate any copyright or other rights. Dissernet is under no obligations to any state authorities, governmental
or administrative institutions, political associations or movements, commercial corporations or entities. Its members work in the community irrespective of their political, corporate or any other views, they do not pursue any commercial purposes, their efforts are not aimed at advertising or promotion of any product or trademark, and they do not set any other goals except the above-mentioned ones. Dissernet's expenses in connection with the fulfillment of its tasks are covered by means of voluntary donations by people sympathizing with its mission and sharing its views.

title: EConsult

text:
eConsult is a medical app developed by the Hurley Group.

In June 2018, the practice announced that it planned to use the eConsult online system for most consultations. This enables patients to submit their symptoms to a GP electronically, and offers round the clock NHS self-help information, signposting to services, and a symptom checker. 12 GPs are using eConsult and it is planned to recruit 12 more, so patients will only be seen in person where necessary. 340 other practices are also using eConsult, a majority of the 479 GP practices are expected to have implemented an online consultation system by April 2018.

Performance

Research published in 2018 in the British Journal of General Practice described a qualitative study of general practices in the West of England that piloted the e-consultation system. It concluded that "the technology, in its current form, fell short of providing an effective platform for clinicians to consult with patients and did not justify their financial investment in the system."

In 2022 it agreed a six year contract with Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust.  This permits clinicians to ask referred patients a specialist list of questions, triaging them at the outpatients referral stage and permitting patients to send in information ahead of a visit and pre-book tests and appointments.  This reduced the predicted waiting list clearance time from 20 years to three years while decreasing non-attendance from 40% to nearly zero.

Peterhead Health Centre stopped the use of its eConsult service from September 2022 due to an "an ever increasing list size and growing demand" replacing it with a new tool developed by their GP’s where staff signpost patients to the most appropriate clinician in the most appropriate time frame.

title: Karakabaklı

text:
Karakabaklı is an archaeological site in Mersin Province, Turkey.

Geography
Karakabaklı is situated next to Karadedeli village (now a remote neighborhood of Atakent)  in the rural area of Silifke district.  In the antiquity this region was called Cilicia Trachaea  (Rugged Cilicia). Karakabaklı is to the east of Silifke and to the north of Turkish state highway D.400. It can be reached via a  road from Atakent which is on D-400. The villa rustica Sinekkale is to north of Karakabaklı.  The distance from Karakabaklı to Silifke is  and to Mersin is  .

History
The settlement dates back to Hellenistic age. But it was rebuilt and inhabited during the Roman and early Byzantine ages.  It was probably abandoned during the Arab–Byzantine wars in the 7th and 8th centuries. Neither Hellenistic nor the Roman name of the settlement is known. Karakabaklı is a Turkish name.

Ruins
According to Professor Semavi Eyice who has studied on the ruins there are many houses and seven of them are in relatively good condition. Four of them are one-storey and three of them are two-storey houses. The building material is limestone. Eyice notes that the percentage of standing buildings is higher in Karakabaklı than in most other ancient settlements. The plans of the houses are not standard and they probably belonged to people of different economic status. There are also, basilicas, a tetrapylon, cisterns and a partially unearthed Roman road. The settlement is included in the official list of Archaeological sites of Turkey.

title: Remember Remember

text:
Remember Remember were a Scottish instrumental band originating from Glasgow. Active between 2006 and 2015, they released three albums and other work on the Rock Action label, run by fellow Glasgow band Mogwai, with whom the band have also toured.

History
Remember Remember were originally the work of a single musician, Graeme Ronald, playing multiple instruments, including unusual percussion such as scissors, cutlery, coffee spoons, lighters and matches.  The 2008 self-titled album was performed by Ronald with a few collaborators, including James Swinburne, who would later be part of the band, and James Hamilton from Errors.   The band was gradually expanded in terms of musicians, until by later 2009 there were seven members; the first music released by this line-up was the "RR Scorpii" EP in 2010 and The Quickening album in 2011, which also featured RM Hubbert.

The band announced on 15 May 2014 the release of their third album Forgetting the Present. The album was released by Rock Action on 30 June 2014.

Graeme Ronald announced the band's split in June 2015, with their final gig played that month.

Musical style
The band was completely instrumental and Ronald has commented on this, saying "When you’re in a band and you’ve got a singer the focal point is there instantly. It’s not that the music doesn’t matter, but you can get away with the music being less interesting..."  Although described as post-rock, Ronald was quick to point out that the association of this label with guitar heavy music is not as relevant to the band, who use a far wider range of instrumentation.

title: What Became of Jack and Jill?

text:
What Became of Jack and Jill? is a 1972 British horror film directed by Bill Bain and starring Mona Washbourne, Paul Nicholas, and Vanessa Howard. It was part of an abandoned attempt by Amicus Pictures to differentiate itself with Hammer Studios by breaking into the grindhouse market. Studio executives were ultimately too disturbed by the final product to release it under the Amicus name, and they sold the film to 20th Century Fox.

Plot
Johnnie Tallent is a callous young mod who lives with his elderly, invalid grandmother, Alice. Lazy and unmotivated, Johnnie dedicates most of his time to taking care of Alice to remain in her good graces so that he can inherit her small fortune and valuable house after she dies. He spends what free time he has with his girlfriend Jill Standish, an even more callous travel agent.

Jill encourages Johnnie to take active measures to accelerate his grandmother's death, so that the two of them can get married and retire on Alice's fortune. Together, the two concoct a plan to induce a heart attack in Alice by gaslighting her, effectively murdering her yet leaving no evidence of the crime. To this end, Johnnie slowly begins convincing Alice that London's twenty-somethings, feeling that the elderly have become a drain on society, are planning a youth revolution, with the goal of either killing the elderly or placing them in internment camps. Johnnie manipulates Alice's access to newspapers and television, using stories and footage of protests to further convince her that the youth revolution is growing and becoming progressively more violent.

To further enhance his story, Johnnie and Jill cover the wall outside Alice's bedroom window with ageist graffiti. After several weeks, Alice grows paranoid and reclusive, and her health seriously deteriorates. Finally, Jill uses her position at the travel agency to schedule a large parade to pass by Alice's house one afternoon; that morning, Johnnie tells her that the revolution has begun, and that rioters are going door-to-door looking for elderly people to kill or intern. When the parade arrives, Alice, already in a panic, suffers a heart attack. Johnnie allows her to die before calling an ambulance.

At the office of Alice's probate attorney, Johnnie and Jill learn that she placed a codicil in her will that, as long as he remains in a relationship with Jill, Johnnie is only allowed to inherit her house. If he wishes to inherit any of her money, he must sever all ties with Jill and marry another woman. Johnnie and Jill initially attempt to find well-paying jobs of their own in order to keep the house, but neither are willing to work hard, and eventually, their electricity, gas, and water are all turned off. The pair concoct a plan for Johnnie to date and marry an impressionable young woman in quick succession, allowing Johnnie to collect his inheritance; he can then end the relationship and be with Jill. However, Jill becomes violently jealous when Johnnie appears to develop feelings for their target, and the two get into a physical altercation. Johnnie accidentally stabs Jill in the abdomen, and she stumbles out into the street. Neighbours call the police, who arrive as a sobbing Johnnie crawls towards Alice's room, screaming for his grandmother.

Production

Amicus Pictures had been known through the 1960s as a purveyor of gothic horror and horror anthologies, largely competing with Hammer Film Production's similar output. At the dawn of the 1970s, Amicus decided to make an attempt to differentiate itself from Hammer by appealing to exploitation film and grindhouse fans with a more violent, sexualized picture than they normally released. To this end, they purchased the rights to Laurence Moody's novel The Ruthless Ones, with the intention of making it their very first exploitation picture under the title The Ruthless Ones. The picture was simultaneously meant to serve as a vehicle for Vanessa Howard and turn her into Amicus' own scream queen, based largely on her performance in Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly.

Shot at Shepperton Studios, it was filmed in 1970 as Romeo and Juliet '71; the resultant product shocked Amicus' executives, who began to doubt the desirability of being associated with so dark a work. As a result, the film was shelved and not released until 1972, under its current title.

The director, Bill Bain, was an Australian with a strong record in television. He called the film "a savage indictment of the shallow education young people get today."

Critical reception

Roger Greenspun from The New York Times gave the film a negative review, criticizing the film's story, and relative "plainness". Greenspun concluded his review by writing, "I suppose Bill Bain's direction should be praised for its restraint and for its resistance to almost all false notes of terror. But that is not enough to support a movie the main achievement of which is to work from a beginning, to a middle, to something like a logical ending." TV Guide awarded the film one out of four stars, stating "Excellent art direction and photography fail to save this clinker." Graeme Clark from The Spinning Image gave the film a mixed 5/10 stars, commending the film's claustrophobic atmosphere, and Howard's performance; while criticizing the film's slow pace, and climax, which he felt was "built too soon".

 Lyophyllum decastes – a mushroom known as fried chicken mushroom
 Pleurotus ostreatus – better known as the oyster mushroom, famous in the vegan community as one of the best substitutes for fried chicken

Fruit-based

 Breadfruit – used similarly as jackfruit in savory dishes
 Coconut burger – made from sapal, the coconut pulp by-products of traditional coconut milk extraction in Filipino cuisine
 Eggplant – semitropical/tropical plant with a highly textured flesh
 Grapefruit – during the course of the Special Period economic crisis Cubans prepared steaks made out of breaded and fried grapefruit rind known as "bistec de toronja".

Legume-based
 Burmese tofu – made from water, chickpea flour and turmeric
 Falafel – a traditional Middle Eastern bean fritter, believed to have been created by ancient Copts as a meat substitute during Lent
 Härkis – a brand of processed ground fava beans

Soy-based

 Tofu, made from soy/soybeans.
 Textured vegetable protein – a defatted soy flour product that is a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is often used as a meat analogue or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content that is comparable to certain meats.
 Ganmodoki – a traditional Japanese tofu based dish similar to veggie burgers

 Tempeh – a traditional Indonesian soy product in a cake form, made from fermented soybeans

 Injo-gogi-bap – a Korean steamed rice wrapped in leftover soybean paste and dressed with a chili sauce.
 Oncom – one of the traditional staple foods of West Java (Sundanese) cuisine of Indonesia, there are two types: red oncom and black oncom. Oncom is closely related to tempeh; both are foods fermented using mold.
 Koya dofu – a freeze-dried tofu that has a taste and texture similar to meat when prepared, common in Buddhist vegetarian cuisine

title: Gura, Eritrea

text:
Gura () or Gura'e is a settlement in Eritrea's Debub region in northeast Africa. It is located in the eponymous Gura Valley in the southeastern Eritrean highlands. It is about  SE of Dekemhare and about  SSE of the capital Asmara.

History

Early
Gura developed as a market at the present site from the 17th century AD. It stood across a caravan route linking northern Ethiopia with the port of Massawa on the Red Sea via the Alighede and Mareb rivers.

19th century
During the 19th century Ethiopian-Egyptian War, Gura (and nearby Khaya Khor) was the site of two major Egyptian forts and, subsequently, a major Ethiopian victory over their inhabitants in 1876. The Egyptian commander Ratib Pasha intended to remain within the safety of the Gura fortress, but his American chief of staff Loring Pashathe former Confederate Brig. Gen. William Loringshamed him into direct confrontation with the main Ethiopian force by crying "No! March out of them! You are afraid!" (Discharged and returned to America, Loring would subsequently point his finger at the Egyptians for the loss in A Confederate Soldier in Egypt, simultaneously complaining of commander Osman Pasha's refusal to leave the second fort and explaining Ratib Pasha's having left the safety of his own because "what little judgment [he] possessed was entirely crushed by abject fear".) The subsequent rout from March 7 to 9 ended Egyptian hegemony over Eritrea and the Red Sea littoral and left open the possibility that the French would be able to colonize the entire region and endanger British routes through the Suez Canal.

Following Britain's complete occupation of Egypt and the rising of the Mahdi in the Sudan, the Egyptian fort at Gura was among those detailed in the 1884 tripartite Hewett Treaty. The treaty, signed at Adwa and ratified by Queen Victoria, obliged Ethiopia to oversee the evacuation of exposed Egyptian garrisons in Eritrea and the southern Sudan through the port of Massawa in exchange for the garrisons' supplies of arms and ammunition, recognition of their sovereignty over the Bogos lands—essentially, the highlands of modern Eritrea, which the Ethiopians organized as Hamasien—and other concessions. During this period, Gura served as Ras Alula's capital of the Ethiopian province of Hamasien prior to his removal to Asmara. Once Ethiopia had made good on its part of the bargain, however, Britain's concern over France's rapid expansion of its colony in the Bay of Tadjoura (today's Djibouti) led it to openly support Italy's bloodless occupation of Massawa and establishment of Italian Eritrea in the former Egyptian lands. Gura was occupied by the Italian-allied Bahta Hagos in 1889. The Battle of Adwa ending the First Italo-Ethiopian War kept it from annexing the entirety of Ethiopia but it continued to hold Gura and other towns in the former Egyptian highlands.

20th century
Under the Italian protectorate, Gura was left undeveloped until Benito Mussolini began to build up the Italian military presence in preparation for the second Italian invasion of Ethiopia. Much of the former town was removed to establish a military base, which served as the main airfield for the northern front of the war. As such, the base was heavily involved in the Italian use of airborne chemical weapons such as mustard gas during the conflict.

During the first months of WW2, the airfield was used by the Italians to successfully attack the British Sudan and to occupy Kassala.

Once captured by Allied forces during World War II's East African Campaign, it hosted a Royal Air Force (RAF) support base and an Australian field hospital. As an adjunct to the Lend-Lease Act, a secret expansion of the base —Project 19— was established with the US government.

Italian bombing mission in 1943

In 1943, two SM.75 GA aircraft undertook a bombing mission, the only one made by an SM.75, intended to destroy American bombers stored at an airbase in Gura. To reach the objective, which was over  away, the two S.75 GAs—with civil registration I-BUBA and I-TAMO, but renominated with serial numbers MM.60539 and MM.60543, respectively, for military use—were laden heavily with  of fuel, and modified by fitting a "Jozza" bomb-aiming system and a bomb bay capable of carrying  of bombs. The most experienced crews were selected for the mission, led by officers named Villa and Peroli.

The mission started at 06:30 hours on 23 May 1943 from Rhodes, the easternmost Regia Aeronautica base at the time. Each of the two aircraft, weighing  empty, had a takeoff-weight of . The SM.75 GA's engines were optimized for endurance and economy rather than for power, which made the takeoff difficult with the heavy load of fuel and bombs. Initially flying at low altitude, at 10:00 hours the modified SM.75 GAs climbed to . Having used an excessive amount of fuel, Peroli diverted to bomb Port Sudan instead; he returned safely to Rhodes at 05:30 hours on 24 May 1943 after 23 hours in the air. Villa, meanwhile, pressed on alone and arrived over the Gura airbase—which was heavily defended despite being well behind the front line—at 18:45 hours and released his bombs. Although one bomb failed to drop and remained on board, presenting the threat of an explosion, Villas mission was successful, and his aircraft returned to Rhodes safely one hour and 15 minutes after Peroli, landing at 06:45 hours on 24 May 1943, having covered  over a period of 24 hours and 15 minutes.

Late developments

Since early 1943, the airport was used mainly for maintenance and repairing of American aircraft, shipped directly from the American continent in order to support the Allies in Europe.

Furthermore, it was established a huge airbase maintained by 2,000 American employees of Johnson, Drake & Piper, along with an equal number of hired or conscripted Italians and Eritreans. The facility—operated by employees of Douglas Aircraft—received damaged RAF aircraft which were sailed down the Red Sea to Massawa and transported overland, and repaired them for return to the North African front under their own power. The American facility boasted a nine-hole golf course with the following rules:

Balls may be lifted from bomb craters and trenches without penalty.
Do not touch bombs or craters, notify authorities.
In case of air raid the trenches are located in back of 5th and 7th greens.
Out of bounds to right of 1st, 5th and 9th holes.
If baboon steals ball drop another ball no nearer hole—no penalty.
If ball hits an animal play ball as it lies.

At war's end, Eritrea was incorporated into Haile Selassie's restored Ethiopia. British administrators had already dismantled Gura's air base, leaving only the tarmac. Lacking an airport and now off the main lines of transport and communication, the community has been overshadowed by nearby Dekemhare. As a Cold War ally of the United States, however, Imperial Ethiopia was able to host American reconnaissance aircraft at the site during the onset of violent Eritrean separatism. The operation ceased with the overthrow of the empire by the Communist Derg in the 1970s, switching Ethiopia's side in the Cold War.

While the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) proved increasing successful and began to control most of the present country, the Derg continued to hold areas of the highlands and, after their defeat in the Second Battle of Massawa in 1990, continued to use napalm and cluster bombs against the city. The end of the conflict and recognition from Addis Ababa was secured by the EPLF's victory in a major tank battle in the valley around Gura on May 20, 1991.

Breakshot: A Life in the 21st Century American Mafia is an American memoir by Kenny "Kenji" Gallo, a former member of the Colombo Crime Family and The Milano Brothers who became an informant in the federal witness protection program. The book, which was titled after the undercover code name the FBI gave him, was released by Phoenix Books in August 2009, with co-writer Matthew Randazzo V.

Storyline

The book is a story of life as a criminal and mafia associate. Breakshot includes Gallo's efforts to solve the 1987 murder of Joe Avila, a local restaurateur in Orange County, California, who was also said to be one of OC's biggest cocaine dealers in the 1980s.

After years in the mob, Gallo turned informant and wore an undercover wire against New York's Colombo and Lucchese Mafia Families, as well as the Milano family, in exchange for a fresh start in life witness protection program.

Lawsuits

Gallo filed a lawsuit in 2011 against Phoenix Books for publishing his autobiography Breakshot: A Life in the 21st Century American Mafia without a contract, taking his copyright, and selling the paperback rights to Simon & Schuster without his permission and without paying him. The suit was settled, according to Courthouse News Service.

In February 2014, Gallo filed a second lawsuit, this one against Simon & Schuster, claiming that Simon & Schuster stole rights to his autobiography by registering the copyright under his co-author's and former publisher's names.

Critical reception

Publishers Weekly wrote, in a starred review, "Crammed with the kind of characters and detail that make pages turn and moviemakers salivate, self-described 'mobster, drug lord, and porn kingpin,' Gallo's story of life as a criminal and Mafia associate is tantalizing material."

Blogcritics, in a November 2009 review by Scott Deitche wrote, "Breakshot joins the canon of better Mafia books, and among the subgenre of Mafia tell-alls, it's one of the strongest in recent years".

The OC Weekly wrote that the book "sheds new light on Newport Beach’s dark past as a haven for Italian mobsters and Colombian cartel figures."

TV adaptation
In 2011, Breakshot was optioned by producer Henrik Bastin and sold to Fox Broadcasting Company for development as a weekly hour-long dramatic series with Robert Moresco as producer/screenwriter.
