Boca Negra is an album by the Chicago Underground Duo, featuring multi-instrumentalists Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor. It was recorded during May 2009 at El Rocha Studios in São Paulo, Brazil, and was released in 2010 by the Thrill Jockey label. The album title means "black mouth," a term that originates in Tenerife, Canary Islands, and that refers to both an endless intake of information and the mouth of the volcano Teide. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote: "Boca Negra is the most sophisticated and improvisationally complex recording CUD has ever recorded, while easily being its most accessible." A reviewer for The Free Jazz Collective called the album "fantastic," and stated: "The two musicians do not shy away from complexity... although the entire album is quite accessible and very rhythmic. It all sounds simple, but it isn't... the whole thing full of creative inventiveness, but above all, Mazurek's excellent playing of the cornet and Chad Taylor's excellent drumming. And a great production by Matt Lux. Highly recommended." Chris May of All About Jazz described the album as "a delight to get lost in," and commented: "Boca Negra explores dualities and the tensions which exist between them. Composed vs improvised music. Visceral grooves vs ambient soundscapes. Folkish simplicity vs polyrhythmic sophistication. High energy rock outs vs gentle balladeering. Reiterative ostinatos, riffs and motifs vs freewheeling improvisation. The yin and yang of creative, collaborative music making." AAJ'''s David Adler remarked: "Boca Negra finds Mazurek and Taylor wearing their multi-instrumentalist hats and tweaking their interplay with electronic enhancements, plotting out music of small gestures and bold, emphatic outbursts... there's a judicious balance of free acoustic blowing..., calming aural expanses..., dub and electronica references... and surging asymmetric rhythm." Writing for PopMatters, John Garratt noted: "Some purists may wonder if this extraordinary music is really jazz, but at its weird and wonderful heart, Boca Negra belongs to the tradition of Sun Ra, Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and other fine jazz works from that weird and wonderful tradition." A reviewer for Tiny Mix Tapes wrote: "This record exists out on its own, in time as well as in space. It is no longer American, but not even remotely Brazilian; it lies somewhere in between a half-remembered past and a shadowy future." S. Victor Aaron of Something Else! stated: "This is a great outing for the Duo... It's spacey, spacious, and alternately jagged and
milky... For a whack jazz record that uses a lot of strange noises and unconventional concepts, Boca Negra is also somehow accessible, too. One of the better releases to come out of Chicago's thriving experimental scene all year."Exclaim!'s David Dacks commented: "This album is the first in a few years for Chicago Underground, but the time off has only intensified the communication between Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor... Welcome back, guys." A writer for Treble remarked: "Underneath the admittedly difficult surface of... Boca Negra'', lies a radiating being, a pure and jazzy essence that cordially grants access to listeners who wish for it... Their music... offers an approach that is monitored yet frenzied. This is the very music that acid jazz should strive to define."

Grnčarica Monastery is a women's monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church, belonging to the Eparchy of Šumadija. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. It is located in the village of Prnjavor, Serbia, which is about 10 km from Batočina and about 15 km from Kragujevac. The monastery represents an immovable cultural asset as a cultural monument. History According to legend, the monastery was built during the reign of King Stefan Dragutin at the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century. Legend has it that the monastery was first built on Čukara near the spring of Mladens water. During the invasion of the Turks, the church was demolished and a new Grnčarica was built from its materials in today's hidden place. It is more likely that the Grnčarica monastery was built in the middle of the 16th century, after the restoration of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć. According to the inscription above the entrance door, Grnčarica was "created and listed" during the time of the Turkish Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent through the efforts and efforts of Abbot Maxim and his brotherhood. The word "created" was also used when the church was being rebuilt after demolition or neglect. In the Turkish census of 1739/41, the monastery was marked as the monastery of St. Nicholas near the village of Grnčarica, but it was deserted. The monastery most likely came to life again at the end of the 18th century, during the reign of the Belgrade vizier Hadži Mustafa Pasha, who was remembered for his gentle attitude towards the Serbian people, which is why he was called the "Serbian mother". It is not known how, but in 1835 Grnčarica was not considered a monastery, but only a parish church. With the arrival of the Defender of the Constitution, the position of Gračanica was adjusted and it again became a monastery. Professor Josif Veselić from Kragujevac visited and described monasteries in Serbia in 1861 and 1862. Describing Grnačrica, he said that the walls were plain, rough and cracked, much damaged, painted over, but also with preserved old paintings. In the middle hung a gilded and beautifully decorated pole, like the other one in the church's vestibule. The pathos is made of brick, and the pulpit is made of white and blue marble from Studenica. The monastery had all the necessary church books with the three gospels. There are a lot of
illegible inscriptions on the walls, and the one that talks about the restoration of the monastery during the time of Suleiman the Magnificent is the best read. Veselić also says that it is known for certain that the monastery was burned down in Kočina Krajina. During the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian army ravaged the monastery, burned the archive and took away three bells. The monastery suffered the same fate during the Second World War. The Germans exiled the monks, the monastery quarters and set fire to the monastery. After the war, in 1946, Abbess Efrosini came to the abandoned and destroyed monastery with four nuns from the Monastery of Saint Petka in Izvor near Paraćin. Since then Grnčarica became a women's monastery. Architecture The monastery church has a triconchal base, vaulted with a semi-shaped vault with a slender octagonal dome above the central space. The altar apse and side conchs are semicircular on the outside and inside. To the west is a massive square belfry with four bifores. The facades are without decorative ornamentation. The roof is pitched and covered with galvanized sheet. The painting is the work of Valerijan (Stefanović), the first Bishop of Šumadija, who painted it in the second half of the 20th century.

Better Living Through TV is the 7th episode of the TV series The Honeymooners that aired November 12, 1955. The 1950s were considered the golden age of advertising, with many brands sponsoring entire shows. Occasionally, the commercials became plotlines, as is the case in "Better Living Through TV", as Ralph and Norton do a commercial for a kitchen gadget Ralph wants to promote. The episode was ranked #7 in TV Guide's ''Top 100 Episodes of All Time'' 2009 list. Synopsis Ralph presents Norton with a money-making idea to get rich. There’s a box of labor saving devices - "Handy Housewife Helpers" - available from a warehouse. The device opens cans, takes corks out of bottles, cores apples, and many other things. Ralph's plan is to borrow money from their wives to buy the box and pay for a live TV commercial. It's a "sure thing". Alice refuses to loan Ralph the money, so he borrows it elsewhere. Ralph and Norton work out a commercial in which the "chef of the future" shares the wonders of the kitchen gadget that does everything and makes housewives happy. During the rehearsal, everything goes well, but as the show goes live, Ralph develops stage fright and freezes up, while Norton tries to save the commercial.

Xavier Patricio Pérez Álvarez (Buenos Aires, April 11, 1951- Caldes de Montbui, Barcelona, October 18, 1990), known as Gato Pérez, was a musician of Argentine origin settled in Catalonia, who stood out, especially in the musical genre of the Catalan rumba, which he merged with salsa, with an original style. He was bass, guitar, singer and composer. Biography Although he was born in Buenos Aires, he came from Spanish families who emigrated after the civil war. His paternal grandparents were from Asturias and La Rioja; and his maternal grandparents were from León and Burgos. In Madrid his paternal grandfather owned a fleet of cabs for the diplomatic corps. At the beginning of the war, he fled to Barcelona, where he worked in an aeronautical factory run by Russians and went to the refugee camps in the south of France. After falling ill with tuberculosis he returned to his family in Barcelona, a right-wing family. In 1948 his father decided to emigrate to Buenos Aires where he met El Gato's mother, who was a pianist. Gato Pérez was born in Buenos Aires, in a cesarean birth. He grew up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood and was educated in a bilingual school attended by the children of the industrial and financial bourgeoisie of Buenos Aires, whom he detested. His first contact with music was with his grandfather; they listened together to the radio and the serials of the sixties. It was the radio that introduced him to the rock and roll of Bill Haley and His Comets, which was a complete epiphany for the artist. His first performance was at the English school prom playing Claudette and Wake up little Susie by the Everly Brothers. Rock and roll had arrived much earlier in Argentina and the Argentine musicians learned to play much earlier, and also burned stages earlier than the Spaniards, which would be decisive for the fact that it was the same Argentines who introduced a fresh and Hispanic rock in the Spain of the Transition. Before arriving in Spain, he was part of a pampera music group, Los Baguales, and upon arriving in Barcelona he followed the rock group "Los Salvajes"and "Los Cheyennes". Artistic background He arrived in Barcelona in 1966 with his mother to join his father who had made the trip earlier. After finishing high school he settled for a while in London, with the aim of getting a
job in a record company, but he had no luck and returned to Barcelona, where he worked as a butler because of his perfect English. His nickname, "Gato", came from his round face. The first group he was part of in Barcelona was "Revelación Mesmérica", with Rafael Zaragoza, which was later called "Nosaltres" and finally "Pérez y Zaragoza", a Simon & Garfunkel type. From the beginning of the 1970s his musical restlessness led him to form, with other musicians, different bands such as "Slo-Blo" (country rock, and an attempt to emulate the Flying Burrito Brothers, which was the first group to perform in the Zeleste hall in Barcelona) and "Secta Sónica" (jazz rock, partly derived from the previous one). In 1977 he began experimenting with Catalan rumba and later released his first two albums (Carabruta and Romesco), followed by the more commercial Atalaya."An Argentine prophet had to come to unite the gypsies here" (Carlos Flaviá).In 1981 Gato Pérez suffers a heart attack, begins to have serious health problems and the fatigue caused by his heart problems forces him to give up alcohol. His next albums were composed, in his own words, 'under the effects of mineral water'. Gato Pérez has been recognized as the renovator of the Catalan rumba, precisely at a time when it was going through its lowest hours, due to the strength of the very dynamic movida in Madrid. The quality of his lyrics and the fusion he achieves between rumba and other contemporary popular music, such as rock, salsa or even bolero, stand out. According to the artist:The Catalan rumba is the characteristic and original music of urban Barcelona. It was born from a marginalized but deeply-rooted and distinctly Barcelona community and has a very attractive stamp, somewhere between gypsy, flamenco and Central American, which cannot be compared to anything known (Gato Perez).In addition, as a composer and lyricist, he introduced in his songs the first criticisms of the then incipient symptoms of discrimination against African workers and gypsy communities, as well as criticizing certain pollution problems of an idyllic Mediterranean city. His health problems would not leave him until his death, victim of a myocardial infarction, in 1990. Subsequently, his figure has been the subject of numerous tributes from the music profession. Ventura Pons, who already counted on Gato Pérez for the soundtrack of his film La rubia del bar, has directed a documentary about
his life, entitled El gran Gato. Marcos Ordóñez wrote his biography with the title Gato Pérez, la rumba como ética (Júcar, 1987). Ten years after his death, his friends and admirers joined together in a concert in his honor, with the participation of: Carme Canela, Miqui Puig, Jaume Sisa, Ia Clua, Manel Joseph, Quintín Cabrera, Sergio Makaroff, the Som La Rumba troupe, the Manolos 2000, Marina Rosell, Yumitus, Rafaelito Salazar and Son Com Son. The concert was held at the Sala Luz de Gas in Barcelona and was presented by Ángel Casas, Pepe Rubianes and Carles Flaviá. In 2010, also in Barcelona's Gracia neighborhood, a new tribute, Gatos que bailan Pérez por los tejados, was held during the neighborhood's main festivities.

Roger Beynim was a citizen, freeman and 14th century Mayor of the City of Exeter in the ceremonial county of Devon, England. Mayorlty He elected by the freemen of the council as mayor of Exeter eight times - in 1302, 1305, 1306, 1308, 1309, 1313, 1314, and 1317. During his 1302–3 term, he was in dispute with the Lord of Kenton for not paying the murage, which funded the town walls, and was levied on wares and merchandise. Dispute with Earl of Devon In 1309 he was in dispute with Hugh de Courtenay, Earl of Devon, the feudal baron of Okehampton, after being drawn into a dispute where the baron's Cator (the title of a household servant responsible for purchasing groceries) came to the market and argued with the Bishop's Cator about who could buy the only three pots of fish available in the market. Beynim decided that each should have one pot, with the third staying at the market for the other citizens, but de Courtenay felt himself wronged by this. The Earl travelled to the city personally to confront Beynim, and having assembled a group of citizens for protection, Beynim met with de Courtnay. During the argument, Beynim took off his livery coat with de Courtenay's arms on it, and flung it to the ground, declaring that Exeter's mayor would only answer to the King. He subsequently ordered that no franchised man of the city would wear and livery or badge which was not of a freeman of Exeter. As a result, the Earl took revenge by blocking passage of ships and boats to Exeter, using cut trees and stones to close the gap in the Countess Wear and by erecting two new weirs which prevented passage past his own land at Topsham. This forced merchants to use his Topsham port to unload goods, and pay the Earl for their passage to the city. References Mayors of Exeter 13th-century births 14th-century deaths

Grrr Live! is a live album and concert film by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 10 February 2023. It was recorded on 15 December 2012 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey as part of the band's 50 & Counting tour, in support of the GRRR! compilation released that year. It was originally broadcast as the pay-per-view 2012 concert film One More Shot: The Rolling Stones Live before being remixed and re-edited. The concert features guest appearances from Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr.. the Black Keys, Bruce Springsteen and former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor. Aside from its digital release, the album was released in four physical formats: 3×LP, 2×CD+Blu-ray, 2×CD+DVD and 2×CD. Critical reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that the "set list offers few surprises -- if you don't recognize a song, that's because it's a new tune added to GRRR! -- but the Stones are in fine form, never seeming tired of playing the hits in a fashion that guarantees a splendid time for one and all". Emma Harrison of Clash called the concert "one of the most memorable shows in the band's history" and the compilation "unequivocally delivers on the description that this body of work is their definitive Greatest Hits live collection". Reviewing the album for American Songwriter, Lee Zimmerman felt that there is "ample evidence of a band still in their provocative prime" and "the fact that the group still maintains the same verve and veracity so many years provides a testimony to both duration and durability".

Kulen Elephant Forest is a conservation organization founded in 2018 by French hotel owner Olivier Piot and his son, French-Cambodian hotel director and Cambodia Hotel Association's Siem Reap president David Piot, famed for their Angkor Village Group resort with Angkor Village Hotel opened 1994 in Siem Reap. The reserve, a 400-hectare elephant retirement park, was opened in December 2019, protecting the captive Asian elephants in Siem Reap Province in Cambodia, as well as protecting up to 1100 acres of protected forest inhabited by the former elephants of Angkor UNESCO World Heritage site. Location KEFs elephants are located in Bos Thom Community Forest in Ballangk commune, Prasat Bakong district, 40 km north from Siem Reap city on National Road 64. Every tour departs from KEF office in downtown Siem Reap where a shuttle will take visitors on a one-hour drive to the Kulen Elephant Forest. Activities At the KEF reserve, visitors with no more than 12 people in a group, will spend time learning about elephants and follow them by foot through their natural habitat, observing their relationships and behaviors, as they browse in the forest. The elephants do not take people on rides nor are they required to perform tricks or beg people to buy food for them. KEF elephants Presently, Kulen Elephant Forest consist of eleven elephants, which is the largest herd of private owned elephants in Cambodia, two bulls; Thong Kham, Kham Song, and the nine females Chi Chlorb, Chi Mean, Chi Ole, Chi Tone, Chi Youl, Gom Phoy, Iplock, Itok, and Savath, retired to the Bos Thom Community Forest at the foothills of Kulen Mountain in Siem Reap Province, one hour from the city Siem Reap and world famous temple Angkor Wat. Eighteen mahouts are working in shifts to care for the elephants and keep them from causing any damage to the local villagers’ fields. KEF elephants and the KEF mahout staff have since April 2019, been trained and managed by the Swedish zookeeper and elephant consultant Dan Koehl, being responsible for care and management of KEF elephants and Mahouts as elephant welfare director. Accreditation by ACES In 2023, KEF became the first elephant facility throughout Cambodia to be awarded ‘Certified Facility’ accreditation from leaders in elephant venue auditing, Asian Captive Elephant Standards (ACES), as part of a program coordinated by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Pacific Asia Travel Association. The audit covered 193
criteria in eight different areas including elephant welfare, elephant interaction, community relations and biodiversity, and conservation. The result of this audit was the awarding of a silver-level certification, representing the satisfaction of 100% of the mandatory criteria and 70%-plus of the advanced criteria. Scientific research Since 2023, KEF has in collaboration with the Cambodian chapter of The School for Field Studies (SFS) also contributed to scientific research, by letting their elephants be part of the schools Asian Elephant Ecology program and field exercise. Students from SFS studied the Kulen elephants on distance, while the elephants were browsing in the forest, and later collected plant material they had eaten, in order to identify which species of plants the elephants eat. Finally, it was possible to make a list of 40 species of plants which are parts of the Kulen elephants diet, and a scientific paper about the studies will be published in autumn of 2023. Elephants in Cambodia Wars, and the time during which Cambodia was ruled by the Khmer Rouge reduced the population of Cambodia’s elephants, both in the wild as well as in captivity. Cambodia is presently home to less than 75 captive Asian elephants, most of them being cared for by private owners in Mondulkiri Province. It is estimated that there are over 500 wild elephants in Cambodia, with around 110 living in the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary and nearly 200 in the Cardamom Mountains.

Lost in Space is the debut album by the Jonzun Crew. It was released by Tommy Boy Records, and was the labels first full-length release. It was recorded in Boston at Boston International Recorders with some additional recording done at Unique Recording in New York. On its release, some music critics complimented the music's groove and danceability while others found it lacking the power of the group's original singles. Production Maurice Johnson and his brother Michael Jonzun began working in their studio trying to create music often attempting to create music such as their track "Pac Man" which received local radio play. After releasing "Pac Man" on his own label Boston International Records, he was contacted by Tommy Boy Records as Jonzun's label did not really have international distribution. "Pac Man" was later was re-done as "Pak Jam". The album was recorded at Unique Recording in New York and Boston International Recorders in Boston. Some tracks had added material in New York, such as the laughter and other small elements on "We Are the Jonzun Crew" were added in New York which Michael Jonzun described as being "upgraded and mixed" in New York. The song "Pack Jam" was remixed by John "Jellybean" Benitez. Music The music on Lost in Space has been described as an electro-funk. The music on the album is dance-oriented with synthesized vocals. Jonzun did not feel they were a rap group, feeling they were labeled as a rap group due to the name "Crew" in their name, which he stated he called them that as a "flight crew" sounding kind of name. Release Lost in Space was released in 1983 on Tommy Boy Records. The album was the first full-length album by Tommy Boy, which previously had only released singles. Lost In Space peaked on the The Billboard 200 at number 66. A music video was made for their song "Space Cowboy" was shot along New York's West Side Highway and the Hudson River by English director Michael Hoppen. Tom Silverman of Tommy Boy stated that "We're continually changing [...] We could keep making "Planet Rock" [...] But we're really not interested in that. We want to accelerate the evolution of popular music." In a 1984 interview, the Vice President of Tommy Boy, Monica Lynch stated that was no way Tommy Boy can Just "put out rap and electro-funk records alone", leading to Michael Jonzun's next
album having more of an orientation towards love songs and ballads than the electro-based debut. To celebrate 20 years in the business, Tommy Boy Records re-released Lost in Space on January 16, 2001. The 2001 release added a remix of "Pack Jam (Look Out for the OVC)" by Grooverider. Reception From contemporary reviews, Fred Seegmuller referred to the album as "six lengthy dance-oriented tracks" noting "We Are the Jonzun Crew", "Space is the Place", "Space Cowboy" and "Pack Jam" as highlights. J. D. Considine wrote in The Baltimore Sun found that "for all their ability to get the most mileage from a handful of musical tricks, the Jonzun Crew "still manages to wear thin after a while." and that "there's no sense of discovery here beyond the idea that made "Pack Jam" a smash." Robert Christgau wrote in the Village Voice praised "Space Cowboy" but stated that the record as a whole was too silly. Ken Tucker of The Philadelphia Inquirer praised the album, stating that "Pack Jam" is the most arresting cut on the group's album and found that the album "demonstrates decisively that synthesizer music doesn't have to be chilly, distancing stuff. Jonzun's music ripples with humor and ingratiating energy." Roger Catlin of Omaha World-Herald found that the album was "just short of a having a full record's worth of ideas. With this kind of beat, though, few will notice." From retrospective reviews, John Bush of AllMusic says that despite the album including the group's best tracks, it was not a successful studio album, stating that group were "lousy songwriters" who "insisted on writing songs" finding the non-singles as "stiff" and "formulaic".

Florence Tina Cameron (27 June 1932 – 15 March 2020), who went by the name of Gloria Cameron, was a Jamaican-born British community worker, activist and promoter of West Indian culture. Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, she emigrated to England as part of the "Windrush generation". In 1958, she joined the St John's Inter-Racial Club in the Brixton district of London and became involved in activism directed at widespread discrimination against the West Indian community. Her concerns included accommodation problems, educational disparity, racial discrimination in employment, transport, and pubs, as well as Sus laws, which allowed police to detain people upon suspicion that they might have committed an offence. Believing that celebrating culture could both help West Indians adapt and bridge misunderstandings, Cameron helped to develop London's first indoor Caribbean-style carnival in 1959. In 1963, she founded the Caribbean Folk Group, which performed throughout Britain reciting West Indian folklore and playing music accompanied with dance. In the 1970s, intent on creating a day nursery for working mothers that would better prepare Caribbean children for school, along with Gerlin Bean and Mabel Carter, she formed the West Indian Parents Action Group (WIPAG). Cameron became a community relations officer for the London Borough of Lambeth in 1973 and was one of the first Black women to be appointed a justice of the peace in the UK, serving from 1975. Cameron worked with the Inner London Juvenile Courts, became a magistrate, and volunteered to visit prisoners. As the day nursery expanded exponentially, in 1983 a new facility was officially launched by Diana, Princess of Wales. Cameron's community work was recognised with honours as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1980 and with the Jamaican Prime Minister's Medal of Appreciation in 1987. She was featured in several documentaries throughout the 1980s and was the first native Jamaican to appear on the British television programme This Is Your Life. In 1988, she was arrested and falsely charged with fraud and theft. Her defence blamed the charges on an organised group wishing to take over the nursery she had worked to build and ruin her reputation. After a five-day trial, the judge Valerie Pearlman of the Southwark Crown Court ruled that Cameron and the other three people charged were innocent, based on the inability of an accounting audit to substantiate the prosecution's charges. The judge noted that the case
had been an injustice, causing anxiety for the defendants, and encouraged an investigation into how the charges had made it to court. In 2016, Cameron wrote an autobiography Case Dismissed!: An Ordinary Jamaican Woman, an Extraordinary Life giving her side of the ordeal. Early life and education Florence Tina was born on 27 June 1932 in Kingston, Jamaica. When she was fourteen months old, a tropical storm caused the family home to be flooded. She and her mother, the only ones home at the time, were rescued, but Florence developed typhoid fever and subsequently pneumonia and was hospitalised at Kingston Public Hospital for several months. When she finally began to recover, their rescuer suggested Florence be called "Gloria" thereafter, and the name was quickly adopted. From 1934, she lived with her step-mother Eugenie (née Johnson) and father, Clifford George Hylton. Her father worked as a manager for the textile firm Seaga's. He was active in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and her step-mother served as one of the Black Cross Nurses. Gloria attended Brown's Private Infant School and then middle school at the Methodist-run Ebenezer School. She began high school at St Martin but at fifteen, when her parents separated, she went to live with her birth mother. Attending the West India Commercial College, she trained as a secretary, and simultaneously studied domestic science at the Kingston Technical School. When her father stopped paying her school fees, Gloria sought work as a secretary. She was invited to become an assistant teacher at West India Commercial College, where she had passed examinations in bookkeeping, shorthand and typing, and took the job. When she became pregnant in 1950, she refused to marry to legitimise her son, Winston, who was born in February the following year. Seven months later, she returned to teaching and participating in the St Bernard's Choral Society. At the choir practices, she met Herbert Cameron, whom she married at the Moravian Church of the Redeemer, in Kingston. Five weeks after their marriage, their daughter, Valerie, was born in February 1953, followed by a son, Franklin, in June 1955. Shortly thereafter, Herb migrated to Britain to seek better opportunities. Nine months later, he wrote Cameron that she should join him. Leaving her three children with her mother, she left to join him in early 1957. British activism By the end of 1957, the couple had settled in London and their
son Christopher was born just before Christmas. Three months later, Cameron took a position as a cook for the London Transport service but left after a few months. At the end of 1958, she had another daughter, Christine, and joined the St John's Inter-Racial Club in Brixton. The club was her first entry into community service, and it had been organised that year to deal with widespread discrimination against the West Indian community in London. At the time in Britain, covertly and overtly, racial segregation was imposed in employment, in housing, on transport, and in pubs. At the invitation of Gee Bernard, she worked with other activists to stop the Sus laws, which allowed police to stop and search anyone who might be suspected of having the intent to commit an offence. Sus law arrests frequently targetted Black youth and police were given broad latitude in defining the terms "suspect" and "intent". Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Gresham Road in Brixton and were able to buy a house in South London in 1961. That year, she had another daughter, Jennifer, and a son, Richard, followed in 1965. In 1967, their home became the target of urban renewal and the Housing Office made an offer on their home. The family relocated to Streatham and were able to bring the children in Jamaica to join the family in England. Cameron, Gerlin Bean, and Mabel Carter began meeting as the West Indian Parents Action Group (WIPAG) around 1971, but the group was not formalised until 1974. The goal of the organisation was to address under-achievement by Black children in the British school system and was particularly focused on early childhood education that gave training to children before they entered formal schooling. To that end, WIPAG started a day nursery to support working mothers in 1974. Outgrowing their facility, in 1977, the group renovated a derelict terrace house in Canterbury Crescent. She also worked on issues facing orphans and foster children and was offered a course in social work by the Lambeth London Borough Council. When she completed the training, she was employed in 1973 as a community relations officer for the London Borough of Lambeth. Two years later she was appointed as a justice of the peace (JP), one of the first Black women in the UK to receive the position. Her appointment was to serve as JP for the Inner London
Juvenile Courts. Concerned about delinquency problems and lack of services for immigrant adolescents, she took part in a study of the issue with other community workers, teachers and social workers in 1977. She also served as a magistrate and volunteered as a prison visitor. Her dedication to community service was recognised with an MBE in 1980, the citation describing her as "Social worker, Lambeth Community Relations Council". She was honoured by Edward Seaga with the Jamaican Prime Minister's Medal of Appreciation in 1987, in recognition of her contributions to Britain's Caribbean community. Folk music and culture In 1959, Cameron, along with Nadia Cattouse, Jimmy Fairweather, Cy Grant, and Sam King, participated in the first Caribbean-style carnival in London. The event was suggested by Claudia Jones in St Pancras Town Hall and six indoor carnivals preceded the Notting Hill Street Carnival, which began in the late 1960s. Because of the 1958 Notting Hill race riots, the group was reluctant to hold an event in the streets and held the first carnivals in halls. The Cameron family had always been musical. Gloria sang, Herb played the accordion, Valerie the clarinet, Franklin the cornet, Christopher the piano, Christine the guitar, and Jennifer the violin. Seeking to celebrate London's diversity and foster cultural understanding, Cameron formed the Caribbean Folk Group in 1963. The group included around twenty singers, dancers, and dramatists, who performed traditional music and other entertainment throughout greater London. Recitation of West Indian folklore and enactment of pantomime performances such as Ananei and Brer Englishman, written by Cameron were often included in the presentations. After the 1981 race riots in England, Cameron turned again to culture to improve racial relationships in Brixton. She and other parents founded the West Indian Parents' Family Center in 1983, which was officially launched by Diana, Princess of Wales. Because the WIPAG nursery had once again outgrown its space, the new facility at 3 & 5 Gresham Road allowed expansion of the nursery to include cultural workshops and adult education programmes. Next door at 7 Gresham Road, the Abeng Centre, for which Cameron served as coordinator, helped immigrants to adjust to life in Britain by providing counselling services as well as vocational training to assist them with finding employment and a youth club to give teenagers a place to mingle with their peers. Besides her work in the centres and performing with the folk company, Cameron presented
various cultural programmes with John Agard, Len Garrison, and Courtney Laws. Along with Laws, she supported the creation in 1980 of the Black Cultural Archives and was one of its inaugural board members. In 1981, Cameron, along with the teacher Yvonne Conolly published a book, Mango Spice, featuring Caribbean songs. The book was part of a multicultural curriculum developed for schools and commissioned by the Inner London Education Authority. Music was arranged by Cameron's son, Chris, and another teacher Sonia Singham. Cameron was featured in 1983 on the television programme This Is Your Life, hosted by Eamonn Andrews. The show brought in her mother who was still living in Jamaica as a surprise guest. Cameron was the first native Jamaican in the UK to be featured on the British television series. A documentary series, Women at Work , produced by the Central Office of Information featured an episode "The West Indian Community: Life of Gloria Cameron an Immigrant to Britain in the 1950s" in the 1983 and 1984 season. Harlech Television ran "A Woman's Place: The West Indian Community" about Cameron in 1986. A second edition of Mango Spice was released in 2001 and was widely distributed to British schools. Nursery case In 1985 an expansion to WIPAG was proposed by the Chief Coordinator Community and Voluntary Services (CCCVS) by developing the property at 90 Kellet Road as an additional nursery. The CCCVS was not the typical agency which oversaw nursery and senior day care facilities as these were normally supervised within the social work division. The bid to manage the site was approved by the Social Services Committee in June. The nursery facility was opened under the direction of WIPAG in March 1987, but the building did not have working toilets, causing the children enrolled to be transferred to the Gresham Road nursery. The following month, the Lambeth Council changed the funding mechanism from the Urban Programme to the Policy and Resources Committee and notified WIPAG that existing funding had ceased. Funding had still not been organised by July and in September, Cameron was notified that their grant would be approved on a monthly basis. Claims of mismanagement by the CCCVS led to a board meeting to discuss Cameron's voluntary leaving and the potential closing of the nurseries temporarily. As a precautionary measure because of harassing phone calls and an angry crowd which had gathered, police were notified to
secure the buildings on Gresham and Kellet Roads and escort the employees out on 11 September. Thereafter, a media blitz followed accusing Cameron of theft, mismanagement, and fraud. In December 1987, she was informed through her solicitor that an inquiry would be held at the Holborn police station on 7 January 1988. The day after her initial interrogation, she was notified that her daughter, who worked as a clerical officer for the government was to be suspended from her job and investigated for fraud. Another daughter who worked as a senior nursery officer for WIPAG was notified that she was wanted for questioning. In April, Cameron was charged with three counts of theft and later her daughters and the WIPAG treasurer were also charged. The prosecution claimed that Cameron and her daughters stole money from the charity to make mortgage payments on a home they had purchased in Purley. Articles like one that appeared under the headline "How Are the Mighty Fallen" in the January–February 1988 issue of Race Today, reported that Cameron had been arrested and "believed her connections in high places would save her". In January 1989, the case was called in the Bow Street Magistrates' Court. After two days, the case was remanded to the Southwark Crown Court. In February 1989, the case was heard over five days. The CCCVS officer who had brought the charges, under cross-examination changed his testimony, indicating that his office had never doubted Cameron but that the complaints of parents and staff forced him to act. Bruce Houlder, counsel for the prosecution, alleged that Cameron and her daughters had stolen £43,000 between August 1985 and September 1987. Defence counsel, Martin Thomas, argued that "a small and totally organised group were determined to destroy Mrs Cameron and her family and the work they had built up" with the intent of taking over the WIPAG nursery. In evaluating the claims of the star witness, an accountant, it was determined that he had evaluated limited evidence, only eight salary payments during the period, and had erred in his calculations. An audit of the accountant's sums, which were reviewed in a two-day adjournment, found no significant irregularities in the accounting books for WIPAG. The audit also noted that all funds in Cameron's personal account over the period, save minor discrepancies of a few thousand pounds, were verified. Based on the evidence Judge ruled that all four
accused were not guilty and stated that their characters should not be damaged by the trial. She suggested there should be an investigation to determine how the case had come to court, stating, "This case has caused me enormous concern. It is quite an appalling injustice that any defendant should have had to face worrying allegations and months of anxiety over what appears to be a prosecution witness statement which did not on inquiry support these allegations." Later life, death and legacy Cameron, who was still struggling with depression and anxiety because of the case, returned to Jamaica for six months. She subsequently returned to London and worked for three years as a lay member of the Department of Education in the Special Education Tribunal, before retiring. In 2016, Cameron wrote her autobiography, Case Dismissed!: An Ordinary Jamaican Woman, an Extraordinary Life, which also detailed her side of the court proceedings against her. Cameron died on 15 March 2020 in Croydon, South London. She was remembered for commitment to preserving Caribbean culture and heritage and work to build up the West Indian community in Britain.

Franz Kohn (15 December 1857 – 24 March 1909) was a German entrepreneur, wood wholesaler, senator of Geestemünde, and patron of the arts. Biography Family Franz Kohn, son of the captain, shipowner and timber merchant Franz Johann Syabbe Kohn (born 16 May 1828 in Klippkanne, in Brake (Unterweser); died 13 August 1879 in Geestemünde) and his wife Maria Rebecca, née Riedemann (1827-1870), was a timber wholesaler and entrepreneur and owned one of the largest timber import businesses in northern Germany. He was married to Johanna Margarethe, née Gehrels (1862-1925). The Kohn couple had two sons, Gerhard and Hans Kohn. Oeuvre The ancestors were captains and owners of emigrant sailing ships that brought emigrants from Brake (Unterweser) and Bremerhaven to America in the 19th century and on the way back via the Caribbean on their way back. With the advent of steam shipping in the mid-1850s, the business became unprofitable. Franz Kohn's father settled down and in 1863 bought into a timber importing company Pundt & Kohn (P&K). Favoured by the construction of new port facilities on the Geeste (river) as well as the rapidly growing demand for pit timber, Railroad ties and timber for residential and factory buildings in the course of population growth and the industrial revolution of the 19th century, business flourished. Since the domestic timber supply could no longer meet this great demand, one shifted to importing timber mainly from Scandinavia, Russia and partly also from America, from where mainly precious lumber were obtained. Given the weight of the goods to be transported, the waterway was by far the most cost-effective until well into the 19th century. So it was no coincidence that timber import companies were concentrated precisely at the lower reaches of rivers such as the Weser, from where the imported and processed timber was distributed to the Centres of Industrialisation by barges, later increasingly also by railway. This was also true for the P&K company, whose first timber storage yards were located in "Deichstraße" (later called "Bussestraße") directly on the Geeste dike, shortly from where the Geeste flows into the Weser. After only five years of working together, co-owner Diedrich Pundt left the company in 1868 due to illness. From then on, Franz Johann Syabbe Kohn continued to run the well-developing timber import business alone, combined with his shipping company with its own ships or ship shares (Guayana and the brigs Marianne, Auguste and
Salia), until he died on 13 August 1879. After that, his son Franz Kohn took over the parental business. Franz Kohn was one of the four senators of Geestemünde at the end of the 19th century. He was also considered one of the forefathers of social housing in the region. In the early 1890s, he applied for permission for eight of his workers to build a housing estate near his company, on the Geestrücken in Hülsen, on the outskirts of Geestemünde, where there was neither sewerage nor electricity. In 1893 he received the building permit. Kohn transferred ownership of the "Workers' Colony in Hülsen", after its completion to the "Gemeinnütziger Kreisbauverein Geestemünde GmbH". The society let the houses to the residents for rent. Most of the workers moved in from East Frisia, Westphalia and the neighbouring Land Wursten. The expansion of the workers' settlement was largely completed by 1905. About 90 large families with a total of 500 members were already living there. The social solidarity of the residents was shown, among other things, in community life, e.g. the founding of a drummers' and pipers' choir. Literature Bickelmann, Hartmut (ed.)

The Chongwu Army Temple, also known as the Temple of the People's Liberation Army or PLA Temple (解放军庙), is a building which serves as half a secular shrine to fallen soldiers of China's People's Liberation Army and half a Buddhist temple. Built in 1996 by Zeng Hen, the temple stands in Chongwu, Fujian Province, China. It honors twenty-seven PLA soldiers killed by an attack from Nationalist forces in 1949, including soldiers killed while protecting Zeng. Origins On September 17, 1949, Nationalist forces from Taiwan attacked Chongwu during the Chinese Civil War. The attack occurred when a PLA brigade was preparing to depart Chongwu beach for a landing on Jinmen and Xiamen islands. A teenaged girl named Zeng Hen was also walking on the beach during the attack. Five PLA soldiers threw themselves on top of Zeng to protect her and were killed. Sources variously attribute the source of the bombardment that Zeng survived as an attack from a Nationalist ship or plane. After the attack, Chongwu residents buried the soldiers and, in the local custom, built a simple shrine of straw and thatch. Until this first shrine was torn down during a Maoist political campaign in 1971, residents worshipped at the shrine and burned incense and paper money. Establishment Zeng Hen planned to commemorate the PLA soldiers who saved her. After a prolonged struggle with local authorities, Zeng Hen acquired the site where the attack took place. She raised over 600,000 yuan in donations, and contributed 60,000 yuan of her own savings, ultimately succeeding in building the temple in 1996. The more modest 1996 temple was replaced with a more elaborate structure in 2005. Zeng and her children manage the temple. The site is half devoted to the nominally secular commemoration of the twenty-seven PLA soldiers and half a Buddhist temple. The temple complex covers 2,500 square meters. It consists of a main hall, a memorial hall, two pavilions, a residence for the Zeng family, and a statute of a soldier holding a girl in his arms. The temple's outward appearance is typical of temples dedicated to local deities in southeast China. The temple's altar bears twenty-seven wooden figures representing a military unit. Behind them is an inscription in the style of a traditional spirit tablet which reads, "People's Liberation Army Martyrs." Cultural and political significance The Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese government explicitly support the temple. In 2017,
Chinese state television broadcast a documentary about the temple and Zeng Hen's story. High-ranking PLA officers have visited the temple, including Major General Shao Hua, daughter-in-law of Mao Zedong. The local PLA garrison visits regularly. Academic Jifeng Liu writes that the temple is included in Party study materials, consistent with Xi Jinpeng's goals of building a "new 'Communist civil religion.'" Some Chongwu locals venerate the twenty-seven PLA martyrs as deities who can perform miracles. The authenticity of Zeng Hen's story is disputed by two other Chongwu sites which venerate the twenty-seven PLA soldiers, the Martyr's Palace and the Memorial Hall. As of December 9, 2022, the identities of twenty-five of the PLA soldiers honored at the temple have been confirmed.

The members of the coalition are Stand Up.BG, Alternative for Bulgarian Revival, Movement 21, Agrarian Union "Aleksandar Stamboliyski", Bulgarian Progressive Line, 's Normal State and BSP splinter group led by . Ideology According to the Stand Up.BG leader Maya Manolova, the political crisis can be overcome with a united and strong left. According to Manolova, The Left positions itself as an alternative to the right "pole of war" (represented by GERB–SDS and PP–DB) and opposes sending weapons to Ukraine, supporting the course of President Rumen Radev. The new coalition will prioritize incomes, prices, countering monopolies and corruption. The union will insist on an increase in the minimum wage and that there are no Bulgarians below the poverty line. According to members of the coalition, it was created to consolidate the voices of the left forces, "so that they do not have to vote for other political formations just because, until recently, the ruling party of the left does not correspond to their ideas of how the left should look in Bulgaria." The coalition criticizes the Bulgarian Socialist Party of Korneliya Ninova, saying that the BSP is "not able to raise the flag of the left" and has stopped dealing with important issues, become only concerned with itself, and that the way out of this will be a change in the leadership of the party. One day before coalition formation, 11 February, the BSP congress was held, at which Korneliya Ninova was re-elected and part of her opponents were expelled from the party. According to The Left, Ninova refused to join coalition talks. History On 12 February 2023, after a four-month dialogue, the creation of the Levitsata! coalition was announced. The coalition has announced that it will take part in the 2023 snap parliamentary election and is now in the process of registering for the election.

Summary of the Art of War: the Principal Combinations of Strategy, Grand Tactics, and Military Politics () is a military treatise by Antoine-Henri Jomini, originally published as a complete work in 1838. The work, which lays out Jomini's theory of war, includes a series of maxims that were extensively taught and discussed at the United States Military Academy. Content Summary of the Art of War focuses on war policy and "the problems of adapting military means to political objectives". Jomini implied both the diplomatic and military importance of territory (for example as necessary to raising manpower as well as resources needed for maintenance of an army). However, he did not make territory the target of military operations, seeing the defeat of the enemy army as the "only effective means of accomplishing a war of invasion". The work is perhaps known for its maxims that explained a principle he believed underlies all war : "To throw by strategic movements the mass of an army, successively, upon the decisive points of a theater of war, and also upon the communications of the enemy as much as possible without compromising one's own." "To maneuver to engage fractions of the hostile army with the bulk of one's forces." "On the battlefield, to throw the mass of the forces upon the decisive point, or upon the portion of the hostile line which it is of the first importance to overthrow." "To so arrange that these masses shall not only be thrown upon the decisive point but that they shall engage at the proper times and with energy." Legacy It is considered Jominis' greatest work; the historian Mark T. Calhoun has called it Jomini's "capstone", and Robert B. Marks of Legacy Books Press has referred to it as the author's "magnum opus". Used extensively at West Point, it gave birth to the saying "that many a Civil War general went into battle with a sword in one hand and Jomini's Summary of the Art of War in the other".

Research and career Lau joined the University of California, Riverside as a professor in 2004. Whilst at Riverside, she accidentally realized that when stacking three layers of graphene, depending on how the layers were stacked, the structure would behave either as a conductor or an insulator. She made use of Raman spectroscopy to understand the precise stacking orders, and predicted that enhanced electronic interactions between layers with specific geometries were responsible for the formation of a band gap. Lai moved to Ohio State University as a professor in 2017. Shestudies how quantum confinement impacts the electronic properties and works on topological superconductors and the fabrication of 2D materials with Moiré patterns.
