Savanhdary Vongpoothorn

Savanhdary Vongpoothorn (born 1971) is a Laotian-born Australian visual artist. She immigrated with her parents as a seven-year old, and through studies and travel has integrated Laotian, Vietnamese and Australian influences in her art.Australia and Singapore, and her works are held in major state and regional galleries across Australia.Sir John Sulman Prize 2016 and the Moet & Chandon art prize in 1998.Canberra.

Early life and education

Savanhdary Vongpoothorn was born in Champasak, Laos, in 1971 and came to Australia as a seven year-old in 1978.Thailand. Her mother then took the children and crossed the Mekong River into Thailand with a people smuggler. After nine months in a Thai refugee camp, an Australian aunt sponsored them to emigrate to Australia.

Vongpoothorn is a devout Buddhist. She grew up in a community that practiced Tehravada Buddhism that is prevalent in South and Southeast Asia. Lessons from her upbringing can sometimes be reflected in the titles of her works.

At school she only excelled in English and Art. She was accepted at the Nepean College of the Arts, University of Western Sydney based on her portfolio, not her HSC results. At Nepean she was encouraged to "play" and to view her cultural heritage in new ways. She began to focus on her textile heritage.

She graduated with a visual arts degree from the University of Western Sydney in 1992, and then earned a masters in visual arts from the College of Fine Art (part of the University Of New South Wales) in 1993.

During her last year of art school she moved to the studio-home of painter Roy Jackson who was part of the Wedderburn artistic community near Campbelltown south of Sydney and adjacent to a national park. Vongpoothorn fell in love with the bushland.Western Sydney where she later lived for eight years, learning about the Australian Bush and participating in the Wedderburn artistic community.

She only returned to Laos for the first time in after art school and has returned often to Laos and the communities along the Mekong River. She admits her visits influence her works.


Savanhdary Vongpoothorn

She is married to anthropologist Ashley Carruthers and has two children.Canberra, Australia. Today she and her family spend time in Vietnam every year in the town of Hoi An and Savanhdary acknowledges the influence of Vietnam in her art.

Works

In the years after art school, her work integrated elements from Australian landscape and symbols from Laotian textiles. Her early works (1992 - 1994) were three-dimensional floor works. But by the mid-1990s, Vongpoothorn was creating textured works on paper and canvas.

Time and motherhood helped her feel anchored in Australia and as the artist has said in interview:

"Feeling at home in Australia is an anchor, it allows me the freedom to go back to the place of my birth in my mother’s village in Champasak and research for my current work. I guess the reason why the Australian landscape is not present in my current work is because I am home."

Her paintings are said to evoke the chanting and music of Laos, and the Laotian community in Australia, which her father, a Buddhist monk, serves.

"When you are living outside your place of origin you tend to feel more intense about the need to have and to acquire knowledge about your place of origin. I don’t want my parents to die not knowing who is going to continue with our tradition; I will be the one to continue with our culture and religious tradition."

Her residencies in various countries influenced her experimental approach to art. In Vietnam she learned to weave with Bamboo. She came back from India with a series of delicate works on paper that echo the colours of traditional subcontinental painting. In Japan she pursued a project with poet Noriko Tanaka. She created a 2019 work (Footsteps to the Nigatsu-do) that consists of rubbings made from the sacred patterns found on the steps of the Nigatsu-do temple at Nara, embellished with Tanaka’s calligraphy and her own loose characters.


Savanhdary Vongpoothorn

Overall patterns in her work recall the mandalas used for meditation in Buddhism, and also show an affinity with Southeast Asian textiles. She has also incorporated language, including Pali Script and Vietnamese braille. Savanhdary often pierces the canvas with small holes (or has her father drill them for her). In some work the viewer can see through the work. In others she has pushed paint through the holes to create surface pattern. These works evoke weaving.

Her work is represented by Martin Browne Contemporary in Sydney.

Vladimír Čermák

Vladimír Čermák (September 3, 1929 – July 21, 2004) was Czech philosopher, political scientist, lawyer and judge.

The pentalogy was finished in 1988 but it could be published after the end of the communist regime. The titles of five volumes are: “Democracy and Totalitarianism”, “Man”, “Society and State”, “Values, Norms and Institutions” and “Functions of Democracy”. The pentalogy was not reflected enough by politologists in the Czech republic and abroad yet.

In 1993–2003 Čermák served as a judge of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic.

History

Rodizio Grill founder Ivan Utrera grew up in São Paulo, Brazil, where the traditional churrasco (barbeque) style of dining is common and popular.

Utrera served as Marketing Director for Pizza Hut and its parent company, PepsiCo for its Latin American markets until he was made Marketing Director over US Markets. At that time, however, he began to feel stifled by the constrains of a large corporate environment and began to explore the idea of opening a restaurant of his own.

In 1995, Utrera left PepsiCo to develop his own restaurant, basing his concept on the traditional Brazilian churrascaria (steakhouse) model. In 1996 in Littleton, Colorado, he opened the doors of Rodizio Grill, the first churrascaria in the US.

Louis Nelson Delisle

"Big Eye" Louis Nelson Delisle (January 28, 1885 – August 20, 1949)Dixieland jazz clarinetist in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.

Early life and education

Nelson Delisle was born into a family who were Creoles of color. He spent most of his life in New Orleans, Louisiana. He studied clarinet with the elder Lorenzo Tio.

Career

By the age of 15, Delisle was working professionally in the music venues of Storyville, an area of brothels and clubs in New Orleans. He developed a style of hot jazz, a.k.a. Dixieland, and was an influence on clarinetists Johnny Dodds and Jimmie Noone.

Early in his career Delisle often played a C clarinet, as opposed to the more common B♭; the C was used by other New Orleans clarinetists of the era, such as Alcide Nunez.

In 1917, Delisle joined the reconstituted Original Creole Orchestra that included Freddie Keppard and Bill Johnson. The band had disbanded in Boston in the spring of that year but was reassembled in New York City in the fall of the same year. Delisle replaced George Baquet, who had toured with the group in vaudeville. After a short while, Delisle was replaced by Jimmie Noone.Jones & Collins Astoria Hot Eight but did not play on their 1929 recording sessions.

He made his only recordings in his later years in the 1940s,

Quantum Deadline

Quantum Deadline is a novel by American writer and filmmaker Daedalus Howell. Published in paperback in 2015 by FMRL, the novel is a seriocomic pastiche of paranormal, sci-fi and neo-noir detective genres. It is the first book of Howell's Lumaville Labyrinth series and part of his "Lumaverse" story world, which includes the feature film Pill Head,Quantum Deadline shares the same narrator as the author's first novel, The Late Projectionist, though, in Quantum Deadline, the protagonist's name is the same as the author's, i.e., "Daedalus Howell."

Plot


Quantum Deadline

Plot

Prior to the events of the contemporary-set novel, journalist Daedalus Howell's intern has committed suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, an event for which the character feels responsible and that has sullied his professional reputation. Forced to work for a second-rate blog, Howell is still trying to clear his conscious and his byline five years later. Then he and Jude, a lost 11-year-old thief, happen to both witness a murder in a discount men's suit shop. When they re-meet during the investigation, the boy claims to know Howell but from a parallel universe. He proves this to the reporter by using his original, not professional name, which was Kit Fergus (a.k.a. "Chris F." in Howell's previous novel The Late Projectionist). Jude claims he found a smartphone loaded with a game called The Knights of Skeldaria. An Easter egg in the app sent him to Howell's universe where no records of his existence can be found to the consternation of Detective Shane, Howell's wary friend. Howell pitches Jude's story to his editor at the local news blog he writes for but is dispatched to cover a 100-year-old's birthday instead. There he meets Mac, an elderly and retired reporter who claims to have written the notorious "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline, except where he came from it was correct. Mac, like Jude, is from a parallel universe and urges Howell to help the boy. When Howell contacts Detective Shane seeking information, the boy has vanished. Howell resolves to find and help the boy as a means of reconciling with the intern he was unable to talk out of suicide. This leads him to both his ex-girlfriend, Annika Strang, an artificial intelligence researcher, and his old college friend and sometime rival Cameron Block, whose success in tech — particularly the Knights of Skeldaria video game — has long rankled Howell. The reporter connects the dots between Block and Strang's research and the Easter egg Jude alleges to have activated, which brought him into Howell's universe. Hijinks ensue, leading to a fatal showdown between Howell and Block.

Critical reception


Quantum Deadline

Critical reception

Carly Fjeld of SciFi Bloggers observed that Quantum Deadline was "A wonderful blend of mystery, science fiction and dark comedy that keeps readers from putting the story down."North Bay Bohemian's Stett Holbrook found the novel difficult to categorize due to its multi-genre approach. "Daedalus Howell's novel Quantum Deadline: The Lumaville Labyrinth is hard to categorize. Let's call it a noirish, sci-fi-lite detective story with a heap of self-parody that's by turns poignant, witty and comic... With humor and verve, the novel takes up some of the experiences and struggles within Howell's personal and professional life. He says he likes to explore 'the liminal space between truth and fact' as it relates to himself,"

Additionally, the genesis of Quantum Deadline was discussed with the Petaluma Argus-Courier in regard to its author having lived next door to kidnap and murder victim Polly Klaas, whose case is cited as an influence.

Bruce Robinson, a host at NPR affiliate KRCB-FM, observed that Quantum Deadline "Playfully meshes stylistic conventions with a sardonic self-deprecating protagonist." In the same interview, Howell, admitted that his creative process amounts to drinking a bottle of wine and weeping.

In the Pacific Sun, columnist David Templeton characterized the work was a "hard-to-categorize novel, a kind of nourishing, comedic, satirical sci-fi mystery."

Louis Napoléon Champagne

Louis Napoléon Champagne (November 21, 1860 – October 15, 1911) was a lawyer, judge and political figure in Quebec. He represented Wright in the House of Commons of Canada from 1897 to 1904 as a Liberal.

He was born in Saint-Eustache, Canada East, the son of Charles Champagne and his wife Aglaé. He was educated at the Séminaire de Saint-Hyacinthe and the Université Laval. Champagne was admitted to the Quebec bar in 1882 and set up practice in Hull. He served as solicitor for the town of Hull and was mayor in 1893 and 1896. Champagne was also bâtonnier for Ottawa district. He was first elected to the House of Commons in an 1897 by-election held after Charles Ramsay Devlin was named trade commissioner to Ireland. Champagne was reelected in the 1900 federal election. In 1904, he was the named judge in the Quebec Superior Court for the newly formed Pontiac district. He was transferred to the Ottawa district in 1910. He died in Ottawa at the age of 50.


Mongolia at the 2004 Summer Olympics

Mongolia competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. This was the nation's tenth appearance at the Olympics, except the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, because of its partial support to the Soviet boycott.

The Mongolian National Olympic Committee sent a total of 20 athletes, 13 men and 7 women, to compete in 7 different sports, tying its delegation count with Sydney four years earlier. In the wake of Munkhbayar Dorjsuren's transfer to the German team, three Mongolian athletes had previously competed in Sydney, including shooter Otryadyn Gündegmaa in the women's pistol events. Judoka and world champion Damdinsürengiin Nyamkhüü was appointed by the committee to become Mongolia's flag bearer in the opening ceremony, dressed in a traditional costume.

After failing to achieve a single Olympic medal from Sydney, Mongolia left Athens with only a bronze from twenty-year-old judoka Khashbaataryn Tsagaanbaatar on the first day of the Games.

Sokher Goldstein

Sokher Goldstein (c. 1859 – 1887), first name also spelled Suher, Soher, Socher, or Sukher, was a singer and actor, one of the founding performers in Yiddish theater. A Jew, presumably of Ukrainian or Romanian origin, nothing is known about his life before Abraham Goldfaden recruited him in Iaşi in 1876 as the second actor after Israel Grodner for what became the first professional Yiddish theater troupe.

Goldstein participated in the performance at Gradina Pomul Verde ("the Green Fruit-Tree Garden") that is often accounted the first professional Yiddish theater performance. Most likely, the piece by Goldfaden that was performed was a semi-improvised vaudeville called Dos Bintl Holts, "The Bundle of Wood". Goldstein participated in a tour with Goldfaden to Botoşani, Galaţi, Brăila, and finally Bucharest, where the troupe settled for about two years.

According to Joel Berkowitz, "[his] boyish face landed him all the women’s roles until the troupe took on its first actress a few months later." [Berkowitz, 2004, 12] That actress was the young Sara Segal, whom he met and married in Galaţi (upon marriage, she took the name Sofia Goldstein; after his death, she remarried and became famous as Sofia Karp). (See Sophia Karp for more about the marriage.)

In Bucharest, he performed for Goldfaden and other theater directors.

He died of tuberculosis. [Adler, 1999, 86 (commentary)]

The frigate was the third ship of the class. The keel was laid on 26 September 1983 with yard number 203 at the Zaliv Shipyard in Kerch. The ship, initially named Yuri Andropov (Юрий Андропов), was launched on 2 November 1985. The ship was renamed to Imeni XXVII siezda KPSS (Russian: Named after 27th Congress of the CPSU) on 7 March 1986. The vessel was commissioned on 30 September 1986.

The ship was assigned to the 16th Sakhalinskaya Red Banner Separate Brigade of Border Guard Ships in Nakhodka, part of the Pacific Border District. From 10 February to 25 March 1987, Imeni XXVII siezda KPSS sailed from Sevastopol to its assigned homeport in Nakhodka via Suez Canal.Charged with Death (Заряженные смертью) as "PSKR Yuri Andropov".

On 9 October 2001, Oryol was transferred to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. By 14 April 2002, the ship started patrolling the waters off Northeastern Russia. The ship concluded an Agreement on Friendship and Cooperation with Oryol municipal government in May 2002. Oryol participated in large-scale exercise of the Pacific Fleet on 18–28 August 2003. The ship and its crew was awarded with "Excellent" rating for its task during the exercise.

Oryol last seen active service in December 2018, then the ship was put into reserve fleet. The vessel sailed again in spring 2019 and attended the Russian Navy Day in July. Finally Oryol was decommissioned and put into reserve again in November 2019.

In March 2021, a commission from the Ministry of Defence visited the ship, moored in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, to inspect its technical condition. According to a source from Russian navy, Oryol was planned to be transferred to the Russian Navy, as the ship is already 34-years old when it was decommissioned. The coast guard would replace the frigate with new Okean-class patrol ship. Oryol has not been drydocked since 2014, so the ship would have to be drydocked to assess its seaworthiness. The navy would either assign Oryol to the Black Sea Fleet or cannibalized the ship for spare parts supply for the Pacific Fleet.

Six Days of Groningen

The Six Days of Groningen was a short-lived six-day track cycling race held annually in Groningen, Netherlands.

It was contested in the Martinihal Groningen from 1970 to 1972. After 2 successful editions, the public interest for the 1972 Six Days became so poor that the financial balance was negative.

In 1979, the race was organized again as part of an event Topsport' 79 (which also included basketball and athletics), but once more the public interest was minimal. It turned out to be the final edition.

Ovenden railway station

Ovenden railway station served the village of Ovenden in West Yorkshire, England. It was on the Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway and closed in 1955. Because of the local area at Ovenden, the L&Y and the GN did not think it was important to have a nice station, so it was built of timber. However, it is the only station building which still exists, far outliving the stone buildings. Just along the line from Ovenden Station was Lee Bank Tunnel.
