Nevena Kokanova: The First Lady of Bulgarian Cinema
18.06.2012 § Leave a comment
Nevéna Kókanova (Невена Коканова) was a woman of extraordinary beauty, talent and grace, who bore the laurels of stardom with humility while her face spoke volumes of love, loss and passion. But, as is often the case, the story of Bulgaria's brightest star is really one of tumult, forbidden love and politics, a fascinating journey from beginning to end.
With material from the book "Nevena Kokanova" by Georgi Toshev, released by Galeria Impuls.
Nevena, born in Dupnitsa on December 12, 1938, is keenly aware of the inequities of the world from a very young age. Her father Bogdan is a military officer in the Kingdom of Bulgaria. When the Communist-led Fatherland Front government takes power in the 40's, it consolidates its victory by persecuting the government and military elite of wartime Bulgaria as "enemies of the people". Her father spends several years in the Belene labour camp. Even after his release, the stigma of being an "enemy's" daughter will haunt her throughout her life.
With her family unable to live in Sofia, Nevena spends her childhood in the village of Kumarica, where she draws relentlessly and develops a passion for acting. After being fascinated by tales of a film shoot happening nearby, she is recruited as an extra and given a single line in the 1956 film "Две победи" ("Two Victories"). The experience is the final push that convinces the 18-year old Economics Institute graduate to audition for the National Institute for Theatrical Art (VITIZ) in Sofia.
In her audition, she gives a contemporary, unorthodox take on the study "woman sees a mouse in the room", which runs counter to the theatrical dogma of the time. That, possibly coupled with the stain on her father's name, contributes to her rejection. Director Yanaki Stoyanov comes to her aid in her moment of discouragement, offering her an apprentice position in his troupe at the Yambol theatre. Nevena begins her stage career with classical ingenue roles, playing a bare-footed Juliet to great acclaim, fascinating critics with her unpolished, organic talent.
As Juliet in Yambol
She is cast in her first major screen role opposite Lyubomir Sharlandjiev in the 1957 film "Години за любов ("Years of Love"). Lyubomir falls in love with her at first sight, and the 19-year old, inexperienced Nevena marries her first on-screen romantic partner. Her husband is not only an actor, he's a director. He directs Nevena in a multitude of plays, first in Gabrovo, then in Ruse, all the while acting as her unofficial acting tutor, constantly honing her skill. In Ruse, they live in one of the make-up rooms of the theatre for a while due to a housing shortage.

But Nevena is about to be propelled into stardom.
The screen adaptation of the novel "Тютюн" ("Tobacco") is a long and dramatic story. Author Dimitar Dimov is under tremendous pressure to rewrite portions of his work, to soften the impact of the characters within, while director Nikola Korabov has the uneasy task of reducing a 1500-page novel to a 150-page script. Kokanova has been in a few films already and Korabov hopes to have her play Irina, the female lead – a strong, independent, self-aware and ultimately self-destructive character. There is pressure from the Artistic Council of Cinematography to have another actress cast. Nevena is young, inexperienced, unschooled, provincial, and an undesirable to the Communist Party, which at the time exerts a tremendous amount of censorship and influence over anything produced in the country. There is even talk of bringing in a foreign actress to play Irina, but Dimov is against it. In the end, despite a tremendous amount of difficulty and at great risk to his career, Korabov secures Kokanova for the role. She has reservations herself, feeling unequal to the task of filling the shoes of the strong and experienced literary character that is Irina, but she is made for the screen and she becomes more confident with every shooting day that passes.
Nevena in "Tobacco"
"Tobacco" is presented at Cannes in 1963, with giants such as Federico Fellini, Alfred Hitchcock, Gregory Peck and Burt Lancaster in attendance. French poet Andre Morois kisses her hand on the red carper with the words "You affected me!" The criticism and envy levelled at her is quelled. The tremendous success of "Tobacco" makes her a household name in Bulgaria, but causes a period of stagnation in her cinematic development. For the next decade, she is typecast into one version of Irina or another.
Nevena as the alluring Irina in "Tobacco"
To continue developing, she commits to the stage, joining the Satirical Theatre alongside Georgi Parcalev, Neycho Popov, Stoyanka Mutafova, Grigor Vachkov, under the gentle tutelage of artistic director Boyan Danovski, who ensures an interesting range of roles for her. She partners with Grigor Vachkov on stage in "Romeo, Juliet and petrol", and with theatrical giant Apostol Karamitev in "Warsaw melody" at Theatre 199, citing these two experiences as effortless and wonderful on-stage partnerships.
Her second iconic film role will be anything but effortless.
Vulo Radev, having been director of photography in several of her films, makes his directorial debut with a film version of Emilian Stanev's novel "Крадецът на праскови" ("The Peach-Garden Trespasser"). Set just after WWI, the film is about a Serbian prisoner of war who sneaks into a Bulgarian colonel's private garden, meeting his wife there by chance and starting a torrid love affair with her. Nevena's beauty and her recent success fans the flames of envy and Radev has to put his reputation on the line and assume a tremendous financial risk to cast her. Moreover, she is in the middle of a theatrical engagement in the Satirical theatre in Sofia under director Metodi Andonov, at the same time that she is desperately needed to film "The Peach-Garden Trespasser" in Veliko Tarnovo. With Andonov's help, Kokanova manages to shoot for the film while still performing nightly in Sofia. Despite the tremendous risk of her being fired from the theatre, she is driven by car to Veliko Tarnovo (some 4 hours) after every performance in Sofia, filming until noon the following day, when she is driven back to be on stage again at 8 pm. Needless to say, this puts a tremendous physical strain on the young actress, who has very little time for sleep.
Nevena with Rade Markovic in "The Peach-Garden Trespasser"
Moreover, while shooting the incredibly emotional romantic scenes in "The Peach-Garden Trespasser", her and Serbian actor Rade Markovic fall madly in love with each other. Like him, she is already married, but the passion of this attraction is all-consuming and undeniable, the burning love of a young woman who'd committed to her husband when she was barely more than a girl. Torn between love and duty and in the spotlight of every wagging, jealous tongue in Sofia, Nevena and Rade steal furtive moments with each other whenever they can. A brief reprieve comes during the presentation of the film to the Venice film festival in 1964. The two co-stars spend 15 blissful days in one of the world's most romantic cities, anonymous by day and acclaimed as a terrific on-screen couple at night.

Their affair burns bright over the next seven years, causing Rade to leave his wife and Nevena's understanding, but proud husband Lyubomir to request that she choose between them. In the end, Nevena's sense of duty wins out, while the whirlwind affair comes to a close.
By the end of the 60's, Kokanova is the most prolific Bulgarian film actress and a fashion icon. She's offered four roles in East Germany and accepts a terrific role in Italian director Liliana Cavani's "Galileo" in 1969. Her participation in a Western film further incurs the wrath of the Communist Party, and she is faced with the option of defecting and establishing a career for herself beyond the Iron Curtain. However, faced with the prospect of resetting her life and losing contact with everyone she loves back home, she decides to stay in Bulgaria.
Nevena in "The Weddings of King Ioan Asen"
The next decade, spent on stage and on screen, is a happy one for Kokanova, resulting in some of her best work. She appears in films such as "Момчето си отива" ("The Boy Turns Man") (1972) opposite Filip Trifonov, "Сватбите на Иван Асен" ("The Weddings of King Ioan Asen") (1975), the last film appearance of Apostol Karamitev and "Дами канят" ("Ladies' Choice") (1980), an ensemble comedy alongside Stefan Danailov, Tsvetana Maneva, Dorotea Toncheva and Maria Statulova. However, this decade ends with a crushing blow. In July of 1979, while directing "Трите смъртни гряха" ("Three Deadly Sins"), her husband Lubomir dies of a heart attack. Devastated, she occupies herself with caring for their daughter Teodora and completes the film in his stead. A few months later, in March of 1980, her good friend and beloved actor Grigor Vachkov also passes away, sending her into an emotional tailspin and an artistic drought that lasts into the mid-80's.
With Filip Trifonov in "The Boy Turns Man"
A chance at a comeback in a 1986 Satirical theatre production gives her hope. But the artistic directors of the production take issue with her, discouraging her in rehearsal and eventually replacing her on opening night despite a tremendous dress-rehearsal performance, disappointing thousands of theatre-goers and leading to a mass refund of tickets. Regardless of their motives, this rejection hurts Nevena deeply.
In the stagnation and standstill that descends on the arts after the fall of Communism in 1989, and without any work prospects, she retreats to a village in the Balkan mountains, rebuilding a small cottage and claiming sanctuary there. The first lady of Bulgarian cinema tends to her garden, milks her goats, cooks, cleans and entertains in her Balkan retreat. It is there she transitions from the passions of her life to that moment to the serenity of the spiritual. A serenity she will have to face before her time.
Snubbed by the big theatres, Kokanova continues to act, marking a belated 60th birthday in 1999 with a performance in the tiny 200-seat theatre of theatre "Revival". A gigantic cake awaits her at the end of the show, with Bulgarian president Petar Stoyanov, a slew of actor friends such as Stoyanka Mutafova, Maria Statulova, Kosta Conev, Filip Trifonov, and 600 fans crowding into the small space. Days later, she is honoured in the Hall of Cinema by a concert in her honour. Highlight reels of her great movie roles are shown and toasts are made to her health. Unbeknownst to everyone except her, these toasts are futile.
Nevena with legendary actor Georgi Kaloyanchev
She has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer several years earlier. By the end of 1999, she is a shadow of her former self, but ready to face her final challenge, her ultimate role, with grace and resolve. Nevena Kokanova, the radiant, lovely, loved, irreplaceable first lady of Bulgarian cinema, died on June 3, 2000 at the age of 62, immortalized on the silver screen and in the heart of a nation.

Private investors can bring rail coaches, operate trains – NRC boss
Kariola Mustapha
Published 4 July 2021
Mr Fidet Okhiria, NRC Boss
In this interview with KARIOLA MUSTAPHA, the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Mr Fidet Okhiria, speaks on the commencement of commercial operations on the Lagos-Ibadan, Warri-Itakpe and Abuja-Kaduna routes as well as vandalism of railway equipment, among other vital issues
The NRC has launched services on the Warri-Itakpe, Abuja-Kaduna, and Lagos-Ibadan routes. Where else does the corporation plan to be in the next one or two years?
We are hoping that between two to three years, we should be able to talk about Lagos-Ilorin, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano-Maradi, Port-Harcourt to Maiduguri on the narrow gauge, and to Calabar. We should also be talking about either Lagos-Benin or Port-Harcourt to Benin, and then Itakpe-Abuja.
The train is a means of mass transportation but many Nigerians have complained that the fares being charged are too high, saying the train services are for the elite. What's your take on this?
I do not believe it is for the elite alone; we have coaches for different categories of people. The price starts from N2,500 for the 82-seater up to N7,500 for the 24-seater. But people usually pick the higher ones and forget about the lower ones. So, people want to enjoy all the facilities at the basic price. However, even the basic is far more affordable.
What is the target of the NRC in terms of passenger traffic?
I do not want to give figures, as the reality will be based on the number of rolling stocks and trains that we are able to run. However, we hope that for our existing coverage, we want to be able to move 520 people at a time per trip. For instance, Abuja-Kaduna, we are doing eight trips for now; by next month, we'll increase it to 12.
After the commissioning of the Lagos-Ibadan railway line, we have moved from two trips to four. We also hope to increase it to eight. And when it is fully deployed, we'll be having 16 trips of passengers daily.
For Itakpe-Warri, we have one train now, but as we speak, another train of eight coaches and one locomotive is on the road between Ijebu-Ode and Benin. This will help us to start four trains a day on Itakpe.
What plans does the corporation have for freight traffic?
We are open to freight traffic on the standard gauge, probably beginning from Ibadan. When we get the track into the port, we will be able to use it to Ibadan.
At the moment, we are moving freight on the narrow gauge, although we have issues with the terminal operators. Because, when we send in loads, we find it difficult to offload, the same happens when we send wagons; we find it difficult to load on it.
There is a joint meeting set up by the ministry that is reviewing the processes, so that when we deploy the standard gauge, the challenges will no longer be there.
At the moment, we are using the old tracks to move freight. We are moving pipes from Lagos to Itakpe and Zaria. We are also moving containers out of the port. But the volume is what we want to increase.
We are still expecting the rolling stocks; as we get more, we will increase the number of trains we run. We are already discussing with Flour Mills [of Nigeria Plc] big time to move their products on the narrow and standard gauge lines.
The corporation has said it would ensure 16 trips daily on the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge line this year; how do you plan to achieve this?
We have the locomotives for those services that we have mentioned right on ground. We even have some for freight on standard gauge. But what we have for narrow gauge is not enough; we will get them soon, very soon.
Vandalism of train infrastructure has become rampant. What is the corporation doing to check this? Has anyone been prosecuted for this?
As of yesterday (last Tuesday), I think 28 people were sent to the court and have been detained in Kirikiri. Before now, we have arrested over 200 people. But because of the court's industrial action, we could not do anything. But now that they have resumed, we have started the prosecution process.
Your trains have suffered a number of breakdowns, and some people have wondered why coaches that were recently purchased were breaking down. What is responsible for this?
I do not like the idea that the trains have been breaking down. How many times has this happened? I do not blame them because this is the only shining thing that they can see. All attention is on it.
We had a glitch and we responded to it quickly, sent another one, and ever since, the train has been running. But every day, people still continue to talk about that one. We will ensure that we do the right thing. After that one, has any occurrence been recorded? For instance, in Abuja-Kaduna, when a train stops for another to pass, people will be grumbling.

Sensors needed to detect explosives on rail tracks, says Shehu Sani
The NRC is partnering with some other organisations to offer tickets online. Is it that the corporation could not afford to erect its own ticketing gateway or someone's interest needed to be satisfied?
What interest other than the interest of Nigerians? People say that fund is scarce. People also say railway [corporation] does not want to engage private people. So, we have engaged them. There's nobody's interest apart from that of Nigerians.
There have been calls from some quarters that the railway subsector should have its own substantive ministry. What is your take on this?
What difference does it make? It is the human beings; when you have the Ministry of Railway, they'll call for the Ministry of Mechanical, Ministry of Personnel.
I am not part of those people who believe in that; for me, to what extent? The minister has been called the Minister of Railway; so, it is getting the needed attention. I am not scared of being controlled.
The point is if the ministry is run well, railway will run well.
Looking ahead, when will Nigeria be able to boast of efficient train service, in terms of connectivity, pricing, and speed?
It depends on Nigerians, if they continue to vandalise and discourage the government from doing what they are doing.
We will want to do it at a go; it also depends on the resources available. But the policy provides that all state capitals, all mineral-producing areas and potential production centres are to be linked by rail.
Can you give us a sense of the level of security on the train for passengers?
Everybody should be conscious of security. We have an average of two policemen on the train. Before now, what we had was two on a train, but now, we have two per coach, uniformed and having a gun. We also have those ones who do not wear uniforms. We have Man O' War, and civil defence on the train.
Before we send a train, we send a monitoring team to ensure that the track is fine, and that there is no threat on the track. That is how we have been operating for now. We are thinking of deploying technology, although it is going to cost some money.
What is the current stage of the signaling systems on the completed lines?
It is still in progress; this is because we want to get the best. Technology is changing every day. We want to have a system that is not only modern but also upgradeable at any particular time when we have the technology.
What roles do private operators play in the running of the completed lines?
People can bring in coaches and run; we are open. You can bring your train and we will enter a Memorandum of Understanding.
People can decide to take, for example, Ikorodu to Benin. We will guide them and they will operate. They can do anything.

isiana in 1863, Colonel Lane's name appears frequently. On the 13th of July the Confederates, under Gen. Thomas Green, gained a brilliant victory on the Bayou Lafourche. Colonel Lane commanded a brigade in this affair, and General Green spoke in very complimentary terms of Lane's part in it. He was equally distinguished in the Red river campaign, in the battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, and subsequent operations, until disabled by a wound. He was soon in the saddle again, and, in October, 1864, was recommended by Gen. E. Kirby Smith for promotion to the rank of brigadier-general. His nomination was sent in by President Davis in December, and his commission was dated March 17, 1865. The war soon after came to an end, and the gallant men who had so bravely upheld the cause of the South returned to their homes, to help rebuild the shattered fortunes of their beloved States. General Lane still lives (1898) in Texas, where he enjoys the esteem of his neighbors and friends. Br

InterOil Announces Increased Gas Flow Rate at Elk-4 Well in Papua New Guinea
Monday, August 25th 2008
InterOil Corporation, a Canadian company with operations in Papua New Guinea advises that acid stimulation at the Elk-4 well has resulted in a significant increase in its test gas flow rate. The well was tested at 86 million standard cubic feet (mmscf) per day, an increase of approximately 36.5%.
Based on the condensate ratio measured earlier, the well was tested as able to produce at an estimated 18 barrels of condensate per million cubic feet which would equate to 1,540 bbls per day and is consistent with the estimated rate of 18 barrels per mmscf produced during previous testing at the Elk-4.
"We are exceptionally pleased with these test results obtained from the Antelope structure in the Elk-4 well confirming improved deliverability. The Elk-4 well on test, has recorded the second highest gas flow rate for a well in Papua New Guinea. These latest results are very encouraging as we prepare to drill the Antelope-1 well. Decommissioning at the Elk-4 well site has commenced and the rig will be mobilized to the Antelope-1 well which is targeted for drilling in the 4th quarter of 2008," said Mr. Phil Mulacek, Chairman and CEO of InterOil.
InterOil Corporation is developing a vertically integrated energy business whose primary focus is Papua New Guinea and the surrounding region. InterOil's assets consist of petroleum licenses covering about 8.7 million acres, an oil refinery, and retail and commercial distribution facilities, all located in Papua New Guinea. In addition, InterOil is a shareholder in a joint venture established to construct Papua New Guinea's first LNG plant on a site adjacent to InterOil's refinery in Port Moresby.
InterOil's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol IOL in Canadian dollar and on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol IOC in US dollars.

Indemnity: A principle that when a loss occurs, the insured and his vehicle should be restored to the condition they were in before the loss occurred — no better, no worse. In practice this is limited by the value of coverage and the terms specified in the insurance policy. Forms of indemnity include cash payments, repairs, replacement, and reinstatement. This is the principle upon which insurance contracts are based.
Insurance: Insurance is a system in which groups of people (such as automobile owners) who have similar chances of suffering a loss transfer their risk of loss to an insurer who pools the risk of many drivers together. The insurance company promises to reimburse the person for their covered losses in exchange for payment of the premium.
Insured: A person or organization who has or is covered by an insurance policy.

When asked what I do for a living, I always answer, "I'm in IT" and I find it is quite the conversation stopper.

In reality, I am in education and this just happens to be in an IT company. And education plays a key role.

You need to address two issues in relation to the Australian Solicitors Conduct Rules 2012 ('ASCR') to be able to make such claims.
convey a false, misleading or deceptive impression of specialist expertise contrary to Rule 36.2.
In relation to these provisions generally see What are the rules about solicitors' advertising generally? - in particular the Federal Government's Guidelines for the Advertising of Legal Services.
Clearly if you are a QLS accredited specialist you are justified in claiming to be a specialist or expert in that specific area of law, but you need to make sure that your advertising follows the QLS Specialist Accreditation Board's Marketing Guidelines – most importantly ensuring it is clear that the accreditation is yours personally and not that of your law practice or anyone else.
Also, a claim to be a specialist or to specialise is likely to be seen to be a claim to expertise rather than just to a preferred or usual area of practice, so do not make such a claim in this latter sense.
A solicitor must not … advertise or authorise advertising in a manner that uses the words "accredited specialist" or a derivative of those words (including post-nominals), unless the solicitor is a specialist accredited by the relevant professional body.
This makes it clear that you may only use the words "accredited specialist" or a derivative of these words if you are a QLS Accredited Specialist.
"Derivative" is not defined in the ASCR or the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld). The Legal Service Commission's view has been that it is likely that the word "specialist" is a derivative in terms of the rule. Presumably also the word "accredited".
Clearly also you may only use the QLS Accredited Specialist logo and post-nominals if you are a QLS Accredited Specialist.
For more information on the QLS Specialist Accreditation Scheme please call 07 3842 5926 or specaccred@qls.com.au.

During his 21 big-league seasons Adrian Beltré played like he didn't believe in the idea of a routine out. As a result, nothing about his game was routine.
The fact that baseball is a game is often used to diminish it. "A game" is almost always preceded by "just," and the phrase is meant to prove that baseball shouldn't be taken seriously, or to claim that it can't be held responsible for any significant influence, or to distract from everything else that it can be. Adrián Beltré did something different with this fact. His career was a celebration of baseball because it's a game, not despite it. In watching him, it was impossible to forget that it's all just a game—and he made that not just a good thing, but a beautiful one.
After 21 major-league seasons, Beltré announced his retirement on Tuesday. His record speaks for itself: 477 home runs, 1,707 RBIs, 3,166 hits. He was a four-time Silver Slugger, five-time Gold Glove, six-time finisher in the top ten for MVP. By Baseball-Reference, Beltré will retire with 95.7 WAR. Only 25 position players in the history of the game have accumulated more; the only third basemen ever to do so are Mike Schmidt and Eddie Mathews. It's a Hall-of-Fame career, and if there's any justice, it will be rewarded as such.
Yet none of these numbers do any justice to the experience of watching him play. Beltré's most striking feature was not his skill, though. It was his joy. To watch him was to understand that enjoying baseball and taking it seriously do not have to be mutually exclusive acts. Fun was not a luxury item in his game, rationed out and tacked on when it could be spared. Fun was his game, built into the foundation of everything that he did. He was here to play in every sense of the word.
They say that every baseball game will show you something that you've never seen before, but this sounds truer than it feels. The game is built on repetition, on a small set of potential outcomes, on predictive models that work more often than they don't. You usually have an idea of what's coming, even if you don't know exactly what it's going to look like. A batter goes on one knee for a wild swing, and so he'll whiff. A lazy pop-up is hit to the shortstop, and so he'll catch it. An umpire tells a guy to move into the on-deck circle, and so he'll move into the on-deck circle. And so on.
Beltré's baseball was not like this. Beltré's baseball saw the most mundane rhythms of the game as opportunities for joyous improvisation. Beltré goes on one knee for a wild swing, and he hits a home run. A lazy pop-up is hit to the shortstop, and it's the next act of an ongoing slapstick comedy routine between Beltré and teammate Elvis Andrus. An umpire tells Beltré to move into the on-deck circle, and so he grabs the on-deck circle and moves it over to where he's standing. Beltré played like he didn't believe in the idea of a routine out; as a result, nothing about his game was routine.
Part of Beltré's act was filling empty space. It was taking gaps in the action, moments typically skimmed over only because they cannot be skipped outright—the walk back to the dugout, the pause after a force out, the lead-up to the postgame celebration—and making them into little pockets of charm. These made for the clearest display of his humor, and they made for the best highlights: clowning around with an opposing pitcher, pretending to tackle a baserunner, grabbing a broom to defend himself from a shower of Gatorade. But all of this was just a small part of what made Beltré Beltré. The rest was in the game itself. It was the spirit of his swing, unleashed even at pitches that bounced in the dirt and flew above his head and ran way out of the zone. It was a set of soft hands at the hot corner, wielded with a special ferocity. You could call it a style, but that isn't quite right. It was an energy—crackling, kinetic, vital.
Beltré seemed to see something special in baseball; it looked like a source of purpose, not one of obligation. Without him, it's still a game. It just won't be nearly as much fun.


GAMSAT preparation isn't tough if proper study standards are followed. This perhaps means that you must choose for yourself few basic preparation standards to work through. As one amongst the sincere test taking aspirants, it is naturally true that you would opt for sustainable preparatory ways. But, knowing and following the right track are two distinct things. Remember that the route to preparation is tough. It is solely the task of the aspirants to deal with the test taking complexity through different GAMSAT study ways.
Start studying for GAMSAT at the earliest. If you do so, you needn't rush towards the end of the practice session. In fact, you must pay heed to the basic study factors timely so that you do not need to cram in the last few days. If you prepare timely, there are greater chances that you can meet the basic test taking hurdles successfully.
During GAMSAT prep, do refer to the multiple study techniques. Choose for your the best quality GAMSAT prep course needed to start the preparation. In the another place, you can refer to the GAMSAT forum which are likely to increase your overall knowledge about the test related subjects. Ones you succeed at collecting the adequate number of techniques, it is natural you will draw maximum benefit out of their use. Your preparation for the test must be based on proper understanding of concepts discussed in the practice papers. If you implement those techniques of study, you can successfully answer to the tough question.
Strengthen your intellectual and subjectual base. Read extensively so that you can simply answer to any sort of the GAMSAT questions at your best. Ones you master the right preparatory techniques, there are greater chances you will make it through the hard test. Not just this, you can assure yourself a secured place in the world of medical career.

More chances than ever to save on a South Australian stay
The ballot for a record number of Great State Vouchers will open this Friday, giving people across the country a chance to save up to $100 off accommodation across South Australia.
From Friday 11 February, the ballot will open for round seven with 100,000 Great State Accommodation Vouchers up for grabs.
Open to Australian residents over the age of 18, the vouchers aim to generate bookings from the loyal intrastate market and from high-yield interstate travellers. Lucky voucher recipients will be able to start booking stays from 16 February, in time to make the most of Adelaide's festival season.
Premier Steven Marshall said the record number of accommodation vouchers will stimulate tourism across South Australia to sustain and create jobs, as part of the larger State Government business support package announced last month.
Analysis shows that past voucher rounds generate tens of thousands of bookings across accommodation, tours and experiences, creating expenditure well over the value of the voucher booking. The South Australian Tourism Commission data reveals an average expenditure of $561 when booking a stay in the CBD and $602 for a regional stay. When booking a tour or experience with a $100 experiences voucher, the average expenditure is $462.
"With 100,000 vouchers for accommodation from the city to the regions, we're directing visitors and dollars into South Australian businesses and we're boosting occupancy in the CBD during Adelaide's world-class festival season," Premier Marshall said.
"The upcoming Great State Voucher rounds seven and eight will pump a forecast $54.7 million into our state's visitor economy, on top of the more than $94 million already generated across previous rounds.
"This is an effective tourism stimulus that creates huge demand for businesses, drives expenditure well over the value of the voucher, and importantly, gets more South Australians into jobs."
South Australian Tourism Commission chief executive Rodney Harrex said it was clear from tourism operators that the vouchers had made a significant impact.
"No doubt the tourism sector has been one of the hardest hit, right across the state. By bringing the vouchers back, we know it gets people inspired to get out and about, take a deeper look at what is on offer across SA, and a little extra incentive to book some time off and relax," he said.
Consumer surveys from round two of the Great State Voucher program – which ran through last year's festival period – found it generated significant indirect stimulus for the city's events and festivals, with nearly 30 per cent of CBD voucher users adding an Adelaide Fringe outing to their voucher stay.
Like the previous accommodation voucher round, CBD hotels will offer special mid-week deals and packages to entice Sunday to Thursday night bookings.
Eos by SkyCity general manager Jodi Brown said: "We've been overwhelmed by the stimulus that the Great State Vouchers have provided, and it's incredibly exciting that another round has been announced at a critical time for the industry.
"The flow on impact of increased occupancy in our luxury hotel is that our signature restaurants and bars achieve higher visitation, and this results in jobs, as well as elevated demand for local producers and suppliers. With festival season right around the corner, I can't think of anywhere else I'd want to be than out and about in South Australia."
Great State Accommodation Voucher key dates:
Ballot: Opens at 9am ACDT on Friday 11 February and closes at 5pm ACDT on Monday 14 February 2022
Ballot draw: Tuesday 15 February – both successful and unsuccessful entries will be notified
Booking period: 16 February – 7 March 2022, inclusive
Travel: 16 February – 31 May 2022, excluding Saturday nights. Travel period includes the Easter long weekend and April school holidays.
Great State Voucher round seven will provide vouchers of $100 for use on accommodation in Adelaide CBD and North Adelaide (postcodes 5000 and 5006); and $50 for accommodation in suburban Adelaide and regional South Australia. Upon entering the ballot, consumers will need to nominate their preference for a voucher type.
For more information and to enter the randomised, electronic ballot, go to: southaustralia.com/voucher.

Can't begin to tell you how much I can relate to this. I don't participate in the medical system, haven't all my adult life, and very little growing up. My children choose to at times, but on a very limited basis. Now, you've touched on something I could rant on about all day except it would cause me stress….. 🙂 What a self-perpetuating scam it is, fed by greed at big pharma.
As I read recently, what we call health care ought to be called sick care, since it's all about treating sickness rather than preventing it.
Wednesday letter to Washington Post editor questioned very expensive cancer drugs with little benefit (subjecting the person and their family to).
We've just returned from the funeral of a friend who died from cancer, but only after being subjected to extremely expensive and debilitating cancer "treatments." Very sad.
Clearly, there are problems in the medical system. Still, I contend they're mostly within the "system" – that is, with the bureaucrats and legislators who never see a patient.
Now, I'll admit my bias up front. My first degree was in medical social work, and I've spent enough time working in hospitals not to be afraid of them. I've seen the worst – we moved my mother from Iowa partly to get her away from a medical hack who was over-prescribing medication, and who's now in the slammer.
Still, for the most part, I continue to respect doctors. There are some who work hand-in-glove with the drug companies, but most I know smile, accept the freebies and pass them on to patients as needed.
Much of the medical care given in Tolstoy's day looks primitive and foolish to us now. I've been doing lots of research lately on medical care in 18th century England and the ignorance and incompetence (seen with the clarity of hindsight) is shocking.
I feel fairly confident that in the future our descendants will find much of what we do today equally shockng.

From the beginning we have reached out to potential allies and welcomed wide-ranging commitments. Over time we developed a different kind of partnership with diverse groups: our growing school cluster (including children and their families, teachers, principals and boards of trustees), philanthropic organisations, individual and corporate donors, educational academics and consultants, commercial partners, government agencies, technologists and volunteers.
Our partners are essential to helping us achieve our vision of creating 21st century citizens who are 'at home in a digital world'. Their contributions – financial, services, resources, ideas, encouragement and credibility – are enabling the lives of every young person and every whanau in our cluster. The success of this Programme has come in large measure from our collective ability to coalesce a new kind of partnership around the aspirations for success for our children. This partnership includes schools, philanthropy, government, business, community, parents, whanau, tertiary institutions and volunteers, all of whom buy in to the vision and intent for improved student outcomes.
Whanau are our principal partners.
Foundation North (formerly ASB Community Trust) was our initial funding sponsor, injecting $1.2 million in 2011 to enable our staffing of the Manaiakalani Education Trust, develop infrastructure and bulk purchase digital devices, giving us the resource to develop dedicated administrative systems to run the programme. In 2015, the Foundation went on to support the first stage of Manaiakalani Outreach with a grant to help 4 other school clusters in Auckland and Northland to develop their own digital learning programmes based on the Manaiakalani model.
Spark Foundation became a partner 2013. It invested in research into the outcomes being achieved so every New Zealand school can adapt or learn from its techniques; an Innovation Hub to push the boundaries of digital learning techniques to and share findings to support the open sharing of information, techniques and tools. The Spark Foundation grant was instrumental in enabling Manaiakalani to provide resources to support emerging digital learning school clusters, through direct provision of professional learning and development, device procurement and equity.
Fusion Networks provides internet supply and designed the Tamaki Learning Net, a community wireless network that enables Tamaki students to access their learning over the internet from home. Our Trust has also negotiated a shared service agreement (replacing individual agreements) that offers efficiencies of scale, consistent service across schools and a platform for future development.
Ministry of Pacific Island Affairs gave us a grant to help establish our accountancy services, and a second grant to support school readiness.
SKYCITY Auckland Community Trust contributed to the Trust's equity. Its commitment helps reduce the financial risk in our credit sale contracts with parents and will provide a buffer if debt management becomes a problem. It also provided a grant toward improving the school readiness of Tamaki pre schoolers.
Te Puni Kokiri Ministry of Māori Development enabled our Trust to hire a staff member to engage with whanau. This engagement includes a training programme to show parents how to use netbooks, to look at their child's work and to provide feedback. It also funded local youth in tertiary training to undertake part time work to support netbook teachers. This investment positions youth as role models in their own community and provides financial support for their studies. Manaiakalani benefits through the support they offer to our teachers.
Tamaki Redevelopment Company has contributed to the Tamaki College Drivers Licence programme.
Hapara.com provides an innovative cloud solution called Hapara Teacher Dashboard which supports Visible Learning for our teachers, learners and whānau.
Equico underwrote a number of loans to enable our Trust to purchase netbooks for parents to buy on credit.
Woolf Fisher Research Centre, University of Auckland delivers the multi year research and evaluation programme.
Housing New Zealand contributed to the Tamaki community wireless network through aerials on state houses to enable internet connectivity.
Vector contributed to the construction and insurance of the Tamaki learning network which means that Tāmaki learners have internet access to enable learning at home, whatever their circumstances.
Will.i.am's foundation i.am.angel donated $100,000 to the Manaiakalani Education Trust in a surprise visit to Point England School in early 2013.
Variety the Children's Charity is helping ensure that no child, however poor their family, misses out on their opportunity for digital learning enablement.
The Cognition Education Trust helped build teacher effectiveness and capability with a grant towards the 2015 Manaiakalani Professional Learning and Development programme.

Small Axe: The True Story of Darcus Howe's Impact on the UK's Black Power Movement
Small Axe: What Happened to Darcus Howe?
23 November, 2020 by Brea Cubit
The first episode of Steve McQueen's anthology film series Small Axe officially premieres on Binge on December 19, and we're already enthralled. The series is a collection of five original movies that explore the Black experience in the United Kingdom from the 1960s through the 1980s. The debut film, titled Mangrove, details the trial of nine Black activists who were charged with inciting riots in 1970. The accusation occurred after they protested police harassment of customers at The Mangrove, a Caribbean restaurant in Notting Hill where Black intellectuals and creatives often socialised.
One of the key figures and defendants in the trial was Darcus Howe (played by Malachi Kirby), who chose to represent himself. Born Leighton Rhett Radford Howe, the Trinidad native moved to London at the age of 18 after attending Queen's Royal College with the intent to become a lawyer. However, after experiencing racism in Britain in the early 1960s, he moved back to Trinidad and decided to pursue journalism instead. Throughout the decade, Howe played an influential role in the Black Power movement in both the United States and the Caribbean, meeting with activists such as Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael.

Howe returned to London in 1970, joined the British Black Panthers, and organised the Mangrove demonstration with Trinidadian physician and research scientist Althea Jones-LeCointe (portrayed by Letitia Wright in Small Axe). The march took place on Aug. 9, 1970, after the police raided the restaurant 12 times within 18 months, searching for drugs and never finding any. The protest remained peaceful until police intervention sparked violence, which led to the arrests of Howe and Jones-LeCointe, along with seven others: Barbara Beese, Rupert Boyce, Frank Crichlow, Rhodan Gordon, Anthony Innis, Rothwell Kentish and Godfrey Millett. The defendants were on trial for 55 days and were eventually acquitted after evincing racism within the Metropolitan Police.
Three years after the trial, Howe helped launch the Race Today Collective — a branch of the Institute of Race Relations, which studied and analysed international race relations. He served as an editor of the organisation's magazine, Race Today, from 1973 to 1985, spotlighting global social justice issues, notably the New Cross house fire, in which 13 Black people from ages 14 to 22 died in a suspected racist attack. The publication helped organise a demonstration that united over 20,000 people who marched through London. Howe also had a career in broadcasting and filmmaking.
Howe, who had seven children, died in April 2017 after a 10-year battle with prostate cancer. According to biographer Robin Bunce, he "died peacefully in his sleep" at his Streatham home, where he lived with his wife, Leila Hassan, whom he married in 1989.

The Crown Casts Its Grown-Up Princess Anne

Best Performances: Vanessa Kirby's Tumultuous Love Affair with Princess Margaret
Arielle Kebbel Reflects on Gilmore Girls 15 Years Later
We're getting a new addition to the royal family in The Crown's third season. Actress Erin Doherty has been cast to play the older version of Princess Anne, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Princess Anne is the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, who we've so far only seen as a child. Season 3 will have moved forward enough in time that Princess Anne will have aged out of childhood and into adulthood. Not much is known yet about Anne's role in Season 3, but one can only hope The Crown plans to include the story of Princess Anne's failed kidnapping and her iconic, "Not bloody likely!" response to her kidnapper in the next installment of the critically acclaimed Netflix drama.
Erin Doherty's previous credits include Call the Midwife and BBC's Les Misérables mini-series, but she is still a relatively new name on the TV scene. We're excited to see what she can do with this new, more mature version of Princess Anne.
Other new additions to the cast for Season 3 include Olivia Colman as the new Queen Elizabeth, Tobias Menzies as the new PrincesPhilip and Helena Bonham Carter as the new Princess Margaret. Jason Watkins and Ben Daniels have also been cast to play Harold Wilson and Anthony Armstrong-Jones, respectively.
The Crown Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

MODIS image of the "Medicane" labelled Tropical Storm 01M by NOAA, 11:10 UTC November 9, 2011. Image: NASA.
Eumetsat satellite image of the October 1996 "Medicane".
Anybody who flew to the Côte d'Azur or Provence this week for some autumn sunshine might have been sorely disappointed.
An intense low pressure system developed in the western Mediterranean and became slow moving west of Corsica, dumping some torrential rainfall and generating fierce winds.
This late in autumn the weather does tend to turn in the Mediterranean, and only a couple of weeks ago Greece and Turkey were suffering heavy rain and gales.
This particular depression, though, was an odd one. As it developed, meteorologists watched satellite animations that showed it assuming the sort shape associated with tropical cyclones, even suggestive of a central "eye".
Before we get too carried away, the sea surface temperature in the Mediterranean is not high enough to create or sustain a hurricane. Near Corsica, the western Mediterranean has been at about 20 degrees Celsius this week, and hurricanes require water at close to 27 degrees beneath them.
However, the storm exhibited sufficient tropical characteristics for NOAA in the US to grant it tropical storm status through its National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS). An advisory on Monday 7th November called it 01M (the M standing for Mediterranean), the first such ever issued for the Mediterranean.
Winds were above storm force with heavy thunderstorms breaking out, similar in intensity to those in the tropics, and there was some coastal flooding. The department of Var, north of Toulon, recorded over 400mm of rain in four days, and a gust of 95mph hit PorquerollesIsland just offshore south of the city on Tuesday 8th November. Just ESE of Toulon, 129mm of rain fell on Ile du Levant on Tuesday alone, and there was a gust of 92mph.
The relatively high sea temperature was overlain by cold air aloft, with temperatures of -20 degrees C at 5000 to 6000m. That difference of 40 degrees meant a very unstable airmass, ideal for the formation of such storms and for very deep convection to be sustained.
Heavy seas at the French Riviera at least proved a boon to surfers.
Similar Mediterranean storms are uncommon but not by any means unknown, and are given the rather playful portmanteau name "Medicane": that is, "Medi-terranean Hurri-cane".
Two of the more recent occurrences were in 1995 and 1996. In January 1995 there was a similar formation southeast of Sicily, and in October 1996 one over the Tyrrhenian Sea, both of which had very distinct central "eyes".
The 1995 storm could arguably be called a proper hurricane – although strictly not because of the insufficient warmth of the sea – because it had sustained winds, not gusts, of around 90mph.
These were measured by a German research vessel which - fortunately or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint – got caught up in it. Highly appropriately the ship was called the "Meteor".

I was working with a client last week and got into some interesting territory around cravings she was experiencing. Inevitably, we looked at it through the lens of non-personal awareness. One of the hall marks of the non-personal perspective is to switch from a personalised view point to a relational one.
How do we resolve the paradox of eternal presentness and the construct of time, in our ever-so-spiritually aware world? It's been a conundrum to be sure.
Am I Supposed To Be Ridding Myself Of The Ego?
Thought I'd get 2014 rolling with a bit of hard-core spiritual heresy, and happened across some video footage from a panel talk I did with two excellent non-personal friends in Toronto last year.

# Introduction

Endpoint Metadata Management Protocol (EPMMP) is designed for managing endpoint metadata between Kaa services.

EPMMP complies with the [Inter-Service Messaging](/0003/README.md) guidelines.

# Language

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119).

The following terms and definitions are used in this RFC.

- **Endpoint metadata repository (repository)**: any service that exposes the EPMMP interface to other services for managing endpoint metadata.

- **Endpoint metadata management client (client)**: any service that uses exposed EPMMP interface to manage endpoint metadata.

# Design

## Getting endpoint metadata

### Endpoint metadata get request

*Endpoint metadata get request* message is a [targeted message](/0003/README.md#targeted-messaging) that the client sends to the repository to retrieve endpoint metadata.

The client MUST send endpoint metadata get request messages using the following NATS subject:
```
kaa.v1.service.{repository-service-instance-name}.epmmp.ep-metadata-get-request
```
where:
- `{repository-service-instance-name}` is the endpoint metadata repository service instance name.

The client MUST include NATS `replyTo` field to handle the response.
It is RECOMMENDED to follow the subject format described in [3/ISM session affinity section](/0003/README.md#session-affinity):
```
kaa.v1.replica.{client-service-replica-id}.epmmp.ep-metadata-get-response
```

Endpoint metadata get request message payload MUST be an [Avro-encoded](https://avro.apache.org/) object with the following schema ([0019-endpoint-metadata-get-request.avsc](./0019-endpoint-metadata-get-request.avsc)):

```json
{
    "namespace":"org.kaaproject.ipc.epmmp.gen.v1",
    "name":"EndpointMetadataGetRequest",
    "type":"record",
    "doc":"Interservice endpoint metadata get request",
    "fields":[
        {
            "name":"correlationId",
            "type":"string",
            "doc":"Message ID primarily used to track message processing across services"
        },
        {
            "name":"timestamp",
            "type":"long",
            "doc":"Message creation UNIX timestamp in milliseconds"
        },
        {
            "name":"timeout",
            "type":"long",
            "default":0,
            "doc":"Amount of milliseconds since the timestamp until the message expires. Value of 0 is reserved to indicate no expiration."
        },
        {
            "name":"endpointId",
            "type": "string",
            "doc":"Identifier of the endpoint, on behalf of which metadata is requested"
        },
        {
            "name":"include",
            "type":{
                "type":"array",
                "items":"string"
            },
            "default":[],
            "doc":"List of the endpoint metadata keys. If not specified all metadata will be returned"
        },
        {
            "name":"includeMetadata",
            "type":"boolean",
            "default": true,
            "doc":"Whether to include metadata for this endpoint in response"
        }
    ]
}
```

### Endpoint metadata get response

*Endpoint metadata get response* message MUST be sent by the repository in response to [Endpoint metadata get request message](#endpoint-metadata-get-request).
Repository MUST publish endpoint metadata get response message to the subject provided in the NATS `replyTo` field of the request.

Endpoint metadata get response message payload MUST be an Avro-encoded object with the following schema ([0019-endpoint-metadata-get-response.avsc](./0019-endpoint-metadata-get-response.avsc)):

            "doc":"Application version name of the endpoint of which metadata is requested"
        }
    ]
}
```

## Partial endpoint metadata update

Partial endpoint metadata update request MUST partially update endpoint metadata using the JSON Patch defined in [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902).

### Partial endpoint metadata update request

*Partial endpoint metadata update request* message is a [targeted message](/0003/README.md#targeted-messaging) that the client sends to the repository to partially update endpoint metadata.

The client MUST send partial endpoint metadata update request messages using the following NATS subject:
```
kaa.v1.service.{repository-service-instance-name}.epmmp.ep-metadata-patch-request
```
where:
- `{repository-service-instance-name}` is the endpoint metadata repository service instance name.

The client MUST include NATS `replyTo` field to handle the response. It is RECOMMENDED to follow the subject format described in [3/ISM session affinity section](/0003/README.md#session-affinity):
```
kaa.v1.replica.{client-service-replica-id}.epmmp.ep-metadata-patch-response
```

Partial endpoint metadata update request message payload MUST be an [Avro-encoded](https://avro.apache.org/) object with the following schema ([0019-endpoint-metadata-patch-request.avsc](./0019-endpoint-metadata-patch-request.avsc)):
```json
{
    "namespace": "org.kaaproject.ipc.epmmp.gen.v1",
    "name": "EndpointMetadataPatchRequest",
    "type": "record",
    "doc": "Interservice endpoint partial metadata update request",
    "fields": [
        {
            "name": "correlationId",
            "type": "string",
            "doc": "Message ID primarily used to track message processing across services"
        },
        {
            "name": "timestamp",
            "type": "long",
            "doc": "Message creation UNIX timestamp in milliseconds"
        },
        {
            "name": "timeout",
            "type": "long",
            "default": 0,
            "doc": "Amount of milliseconds since the timestamp until the message expires. Value of 0 is reserved to indicate no expiration."
        },
        {
            "name": "endpointId",
            "type": "string",
            "doc": "Identifier of the endpoint, on behalf of which metadata is requested"
        },
        {
            "name": "ifMatch",
            "type": [
                "null",
                "string"
            ],
            "default": null,
            "doc": "Makes the request conditional. See If-Match HTTP header for more details."
        },
        {
            "name": "patch",
            "type": "bytes",
            "doc": "JSON Patch payload as defined in the RFC 6902"
        }
    ]
}
```

In case the client requests to create or update a restricted EP metadata key, the server MUST return an error.

### Partial endpoint metadata update response

*Partial metadata update response* message MUST be sent by the repository in response to [Partial endpoint metadata update request message](#partial-endpoint-metadata-update-request).
Repository MUST publish partial endpoint metadata update response message to the subject provided in the NATS `replyTo` field of the request.

Cysec grants 88 UK firms temporary permission to provide investment services to Cyprus
A total of 88 UK firms have been granted temporary permission to provide investment services in Cyprus, under the Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR), Cyprus Exchange and Security Commission said on Tuesday.
The TPR, launched following Brexit, does not require physical presence in Cyprus for UK firms when providing investment services (including when performing investment activities) solely to professional clients and eligible counterparties, based in Cyprus.
Due to a significant number of notifications, several of which were submitted after 31 December 2020 and taking into consideration the practical difficulties raised by interested parties, CySEC decided to extend the deadline for the submission of notifications by UK firms who wish to make use of the TPR up until 28 February 2021.
CySEC said it has received ninety-six (96) applications by UK firms, seven of which were deemed as inadmissible based on the TPR eligibility criteria and one was withdrawn.
The UK entities granted a Temporary Permission to provide investment services to professional clients and eligible counterparties, based in Cyprus up until 31 December 2021 have been listed in a dedicated Temporary Permission Register available at Cysec's website.
