Production

The downbeat ending is indicative of the realistic social commentary prevalent throughout the film. The producer Walter Wanger had recently been in prison for shooting his wife's lover, and his experience there motivated this production. The film was shot on location at Folsom State Prison with real inmates and guards playing background roles.

Riot in Cell Block 11 was the first film work for Sam Peckinpah. Peckinpah was hired as a third assistant casting director by Don Siegel. Reportedly, the warden was reluctant to allow the filmmakers to work at Folsom Prison until he was introduced to Peckinpah. The warden knew his influential family of judges from Fresno, California, and immediately became cooperative.

Actor Leo Gordon, who plays hardened convict Carney, had served five years in San Quentin State Prison for armed robbery. Because of this, the warden at Folsom originally objected to Gordon appearing in the film, but Siegel convinced him that Gordon was no threat to the prison.

Siegel's location work and his use of actual prisoners as extras made a lasting impression on Peckinpah's later career. He would work as an assistant to Siegel on four additional films including Private Hell 36 (1954), An Annapolis Story (1955), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and Crime in the Streets (1956).

Critical response

“[A]though it never needs to take off its hat to any of its brash predecessors for lack of hard, cruel detail, Riot in Cell Block 11 maintains such a disciplined grip on reality that it acquires the authority of a documentary.”—Film critic Paul Beckley in the New York Herald, February 19, 1954.

When the film was first released, New York Times film critic A.H. Weiler, gave the film a positive review and its social commentary. He wrote, "The grim business of melodrama behind prison walls, so often depicted in standard, banal fashion in films, is given both tension and dignity in Riot in Cell Block 11, which erupted onto the Mayfair's screen yesterday. Although it is explosive enough to satisfy the most rabid of the "cons versus 'screws'" school of moviegoer, it also makes a sincere and adult plea for a captive male society revolting against penal injustices. In its own small way, Riot in Cell Block 11 is a realistic and effective combination of brawn, brains and heart ... Riot in Cell Block 11, in short, punches and preaches with authority."

The staff at Variety magazine also praised the film, writing, "The pros and cons of prison riots are stated articulately in the Richard Collins screen story, and producer Walter Wanger uses a realistic, almost documentary, style to make his point for needed reforms in the operation of penal institutions ... A standout performance is given by Emile Meyer, the warden who understands the prisoners’ problems."

Mia doesn’t always have the best luck with parties, so even though it’s her sweet sixteenth, she doesn’t want a birthday bash.

The whole scheme reeks of Lilly’s doing—Lilly, whose own TV show is still only limited to local cable viewers. Will Mia be able to stop Grand-mère’s plan? Will her friends ever forgive her if she does stop it, since it involves all of them taking the royal jet to Genovia for an extravaganza the likes of which would turn even Paris Hilton green with envy? Why can’t Mia get what she really wants: an evening alone with Michael?

With a little luck, this sweet sixteen princess might just get her wish—a birthday that's royally romantic.

Tbilisi Art Gallery

Tbilisi Art Gallery as it appears today

The Tbilisi Art Gallery (Georgian: თბილისის სამხატვრო გალერეა), or the National GalleryTbilisi. Historically, it is known to Tbilisians as the Blue Gallery, taking its name from the various shades of the blue-green paint previously adorning the facade, although the building is now painted grey.

History

The history of the National Art Gallery dates back the late 19th century. Its foundation is associated with the famous public figure and Georgian artist Dimitri Shevardnadze.

The building in which it is located was built in 1888 by the decision of the Russian emperor and the Russian Military Historical Museum. The hall of fame was also founded.

The first exhibition of the Art Gallery was held in October 1920. The gallery's exhibition policy was revealed in the early years: exhibitions of Georgian and foreign artists, old and new art periods and what has been valued or entered in the territory of Georgia.

Architecture

Exhibition space

The Gallery between 1880 - 1883 was built for the exhibition of the mibadzvitaa house. The facade of Rustaveli Avenue has a richly decorated decoration and features Baroque art. In the center of the building is the entrance. The two rooms that the gallery has have a glass ceiling and therefore are illuminated with sunlight.

Present

In 2007, the Tbilisi Art Gallery joined the National Museum of Georgia. A large-scale reconstruction of the gallery building was planned, which resulted in improvements to the central facade and exhibition space.

The building has also grown at the expense of gardening. The new exhibition space was created as a result of the reconstruction. The renovated gallery consists of eight rooms, a restoration laboratory, the necessary storage to organize temporary exhibitions, a training space, and an open shop.

On November 7, 2006, according to the Decree of the President of Georgia, obtained the category of Monuments of National Importance of Georgia.

Her brother was Giacomo Cusmano; she joined his religious congregation as the two tended to the poor in Palermo.cloistered Carmelite nun though was forced to abandon this desire after her mother died; her mother's death during an epidemic meant that she had to assume care for her siblings since she was the eldest one. Cusmano tended to the poor in Palermo and often worked alongside her brother in this venture until his death in 1888; she continued his work as the Superior General for her order until her own death.

Her cause for beatification launched in the late 1990s in the Palermo archdiocese and she became titled as a Servant of God. Pope Francis confirmed her heroic virtue in mid-2017 and named her as Venerable.

Life

Vincenzina Cusmano was born in Palermo in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies on 6 January 1826 as the first of five children to Giacomo Cusmano and Maddalena Patti. The Cusmano's lived in the Albergheria which was one of the oldest neighborhoods in Palermo.

Domenico Turano (the future Bishop of Agrigento).chapel that she could often be found in; she dreamt of becoming a cloistered Carmelite nun despite her extensive domestic duties that wound up preventing her from entering a convent.


Vincenzina Cusmano

Cusmano maintained a deep connection to her priest brother Giacomo and the two together tended to the poor in the streets of the poorer neighborhoods. Her consistent encouragement for his pastoral mission led Giacomo to consider founding a religious congregation dedicating to ministering to the poor in 1878. The Sisters Servants of the Poor was founded on 23 May 1880 and she and five others received the religious habit from her brother; she also was the first Superior General for the order until her death.apostolate; she was noted for having been like a mother or sister to some of her peers.

Her brother Giacomo died in 1888 and this left her alone to manage the order and its apostolate alone. Cusmano later died on 2 February 1894 in Palermo.

Beatification process

The beatification process launched on 19 November 1996 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints provided its assent (issuing a "nihil obstat" decree) to the cause and named her as a Servant of God. The diocesan investigation was conducted in the Palermo archdiocese with Cardinal Salvatore De Giorgi inaugurating it on 27 January 1997 and later closing it on 12 December 2001; the C.C.S. in Rome validated this process on 15 May 2003.

The postulation (the officials coordinating the cause) submitted the official Positio dossier to the C.C.S. for assessment in 2005. Historical consultants met and approved the cause not long after on 15 March 2005. Theologians confirmed their approval at a meeting around a decade later while the C.C.S. cardinal and bishop members approved the cause as well on 2 May 2017. Cusmano became titled as Venerable on 4 May 2017 after Pope Francis signed a decree that acknowledged that Cusmano had practiced heroic virtue throughout her life.

The current postulator for this cause is Archbishop Vincenzo Bertolone.

The Princess and the Marine

The Princess and the Marine is a 2001 American made-for-television romantic drama film based on the true story of American Marine Jason Johnson and Bahraini Princess Meriam Al-Khalifa, with stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Marisol Nichols in the roles of Jason and Meriam.

Plot

Meriam Al Khalifa (Marisol Nichols) is a Bahraini royal who is not content to be in an arranged marriage, even though her strict Muslim parents would never allow a union with a non-Muslim. In the movie, Meriam is allowed to go to the local mall and watch and listen to American pop culture.

One day, she desperately makes some random calls to strangers, including a Marine stationed at the U.S. embassy named Jason Johnson (Mark-Paul Gosselaar). After meeting, the two become friends and later fall in love, but Meriam doesn't tell anyone because of her parents. After being caught kissing at the Tree of Life, her mother forbids any more contact between the two. Meriam and Jason exchange letters with the help of a jeweler in the mall, and plan to run away to America with a fake passport for Meriam and pass her off as a fellow Marine.

Once in America, Meriam is taken in by the local authorities for being an illegal immigrant and is separated from Jason. Meriam is released after asking for asylum, saying she'd be disowned or even killed if she returned to Bahrain. Meriam and Jason marry in Las Vegas, and he is stripped of his insignia and rank to Private in the Marines.

The film concludes with Meriam and Jason stationed at a base, looking outside at an American flag, while a Marine holding a copy of the Quran salutes. It is then that Meriam tells Jason that this is what she believes in (America - freedom).

Vincenza Armani

Vincenza Armani (c. 1530 in Venice – 11 September 1569), was an Italian actress, singer, poet, musician, lace maker and sculptor.Barbara Flaminia were the two most known actresses of their time and described as great rivals. Being one of the two first well-documented actresses in Italy, which was the only country where actresses existed at the time, she belonged to the first actresses in modern Europe.

Life

Vincenza Armani was from Venice. She is first mentioned when she performed the part of a man in the theatre company of Zan Ganassa in Mantua in 1565. She later became the prima donna of the famous commedia dell'arte Gelosi Company of Flaminio Scala. In 1566, Barbara Flaminia is mentioned as her rival of fame, and in 1567, the two performed a famous competition scene in Mantua.

The first Italian actress known by name was the actress Lucrezia Di Siena, whose name is on a contract of actors from 10 October 1564, but Armani was, alongside Barbara Falminia, the first well-documented actress in Italy, in Europe, and in commedia dell'arte, and the first Italian prima donna. Aside from acting, she also acted as a singer.

Garzoni called her "Divina" and "A perfect commedienne" and said of her that:

"... by demonstrating the same verbal ability as Cicero, she placed the art of acting at the same level as rhetoric."

Aside from her stage career, she wrote poetry and composed songs. She manufactured lace, and sculptures of wax.

Vincenza Armani was reportedly poisoned, possibly by a former lover. Her lover and colleague Adriano Valerini wrote a famous memorial speech to her in 1570.

The Nantucket Beacon

This article is about the newspaper. For the lighthouse, see Nantucket Beacon.

The Nantucket Beacon was an American weekly newspaper that was published on Nantucket Island from 1989 until 1998.

History

The Beacon's first edition (Issue I, Volume 1) was dated 9 March 1989.

The Beacon quickly became a strong competitor to the Island's previous newspaper, The Inquirer and Mirror, so after a few years the Mirror's owners, Ottaway Newspaper Co. bought the Beacon. They ran it until it became unprofitable, and ceased publication in August 1998.

Notable issues

The 1 April 1992 issue ran April Fool's Day jokes on the first and last two pages. The front page stated that an earthquake destroyed Sankaty Head Light. Doctored photographs of the lighthouse were also on the front page.

Savage Mill Trail

The Savage Mill Trail is a 0.8-mile (1.3 km) rail trail that winds along the Little Patuxent River in Savage, Maryland. The trail was formerly part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's rail corridor through central Maryland, but the Howard County Recreation and Parks Department acquired the land in 1978.

Historical development

Historical significance

The historic Bollman truss bridge was built in 1869 and is the last of its kind in the country. It is preserved as a National Historic Landmark and sits at the trailhead of the Savage Mill Trail

The Savage Mill Trail is located in an area that became a major manufacturing center in the early 1800s. Near the beginning of the trail is a textile mill that was built between 1816 and 1823. This mill along with other manufacturing companies in the area utilized the currents of the Little and Middle Patuxent Rivers to power their factories.

At the beginning of the trail is a Bollman truss bridge, which was used by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad during the middle of the 19th century. The Bollman truss bridge was invented in 1850 and was the first system to be made entirely of iron. This bridge was built in 1869 and is the only remaining Bollman truss bridge of its design in the country. It is now preserved as a National Historic Landmark.

During the American Civil War, Savage Mill served an important role for the Union Army beginning in 1861. Despite a limited supply of cotton, the mill was used to manufacture canvas for cannon covers and tents. In addition, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line to Savage Mill transported federal troops who occasionally camped in the meadow on the north side of the railroad.

In 2014, the State of Maryland announced that funds were granted to design a bike trail from Savage through the busy Route One Corridor to North Laurel. The next day an 11-year-old boy was struck in a hit and run along the proposed route.

Trail's history and evolution

The Howard County Recreation and Parks Department acquired the Savage Mill Trail in 1978. At the time, the rails had all been torn up and the pathway was completely made of dirt. Rangers from the Parks Department covered a majority of the trail with gravel in 1980, and a fresh layer of gravel is added every eight to ten years. The trail has not undergone any significant extensions or renovations since it was acquired by the Parks Department.


Savage Mill Trail

Trail development

Design and construction

The Savage Mill Trail winds along the Little Patuxent River through the grounds of an old cotton mill. A majority of the trail is flat and covered with gravel, and it is accessible for wheel chairs, bikes, and strollers. Towards the end of the 1-mile trail it turns into dirt before ending abruptly in the middle of a forest. A majority of the trail is surrounded by trees on one side with views of the Little Patuxent River on the other. There are a couple of picnic tables and benches located along the path, and the trail averages about 10 feet in width.

Trail amenities

Parking for the Savage Mill Trail is located along Foundry Street, where up to twenty cars are able to fit. From Foundry Street, it is a very short walk to the start of the trail. Once on the trail, visitors can enjoy a picnic lunch at one of two picnic areas overlooking the Little Patuxent River. There are also five intervals along the trail where visitors can access the riverbank via sets of wooden stairs or small pathways.

Community

Trail supporters

The Savage Mill Trail is managed by the Howard County Recreation and Parks Department. The Parks Department is responsible for all maintenance and repairs of the trail. In addition, the Department provides four rangers per day during the summer to monitor visitor behavior and ensure that the trail is kept in quality condition.

Special events

There are several annual cleanups that occur along the Savage Mill Trail. Every April, members from Project Clean Stream come to the trail and clean up trash along the Little Patuxent River. Then in September, members from International Coastal Cleanup come to the trail and again clean up the area along the Little Patuxent River. Finally, members of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab host an annual trail cleanup in late October or early November.

In addition to trail cleanups, the Howard County Recreation and Parks Department is in the middle of its 5-year Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas. Members of the local community are encouraged to hike Howard County trails, including the Savage Mill Trail, and take pictures of any nature that they find.


Savage Mill Trail

The Savage Mill Trail is also the location for occasional community group gatherings. Columbia Dogs on the Go, a local dog-walking group in Maryland, is one group that holds events for its members to walk their dogs along the trail.

Flora and fauna

There are ten notable bird species that inhabit the Savage Mill Trail.

Many visitors of the Savage Mill Trail utilize the adjacent Little Patuxent River to fish for trout and other species

  * Black-billed cuckoo
  * Cerulean warbler
  * Great egret
  * Golden-winged warbler
  * Least flycatcher
  * Lincoln's sparrow
  * Mourning warbler
  * Northern bobwhite
  * Prothonotary warbler
  * Yellow-throated warbler

In addition, there are four types of mammals that inhabit the Savage Mill Trail and are most often spotted during the warm months of the year:

  * Eastern chipmunk
  * Eastern gray squirrel
  * Raccoon
  * White-tailed deer

Finally, the Little Patuxent River is home to over seven species of fish. The Parks Department stocks the river with trout during the first week of October, the last week of February, and the first week of March. Fishermen can expect to find the following fish when visiting the trail:

The Naming of the Dead

For the TV episode based on the novel, see The Naming of the Dead (Rebus).

The Naming of the Dead is a crime novel by Ian Rankin. It is the sixteenth of the Inspector Rebus novels. It is set in Edinburgh in July 2005, in the week of the G8 summit in Gleneagles.

Plot summary

An underlying thread throughout the book is that of familial relationships; the book opens with Detective Inspector John Rebus attending the funeral of his brother Michael, who has died suddenly from a stroke. The parents of Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke arrive in Edinburgh as part of the protests, demonstrations, and scuffles that surrounded the G8 summit at Gleneagles, keeping the police busy. Clarke defied her parents by becoming a police officer; she now wants to feel like a daughter.

Rebus is nearing retirement ("nobody would blame you for coasting"), and becomes sidelined until the apparent suicide of MP Ben Webster occurs at a high-level meeting in Edinburgh Castle. It emerges that Webster was campaigning against the arms trade, and Richard Pennen of Pennen Industries, a dealer in weapons technology, comes under suspicion.

At the same time, a serial killer seems to be killing former offenders, helped by a website set up by the family of a victim. Clues have been deliberately left at Clootie Well (duplicated from the Black Isle to Auchterarder for the purposes of the plot), a place where items of clothing are traditionally left for luck.

Siobhan Clarke is placed in charge of the investigation, although she is outranked by Rebus, and finds herself having to compromise with Edinburgh gangster Morris Cafferty (for whom one of the victims was working as a bouncer) in hunting down the identity of the riot policeman who apparently assaulted her mother at a demonstration. Cafferty is also getting older, though his insecurity is balanced somewhat by his having had a biography ghost-written by local journalist Mairie Henderson. She is enlisted by Rebus and Clarke to help solve the crimes.


The Naming of the Dead

The new Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police, James Corbyn, is keen to put any potential controversy from the investigation of these sordid crimes on hold until the focus of the world's media has moved on. He puts Rebus and Clarke under suspension when they disobey him and they need to rely on Ellen Wylie for help.

David Steelforth, the London-based Special Branch (SO12) Commander who is overseeing the policing of the G8 summit, seems to be holding back Rebus' work at every turn. Rebus and Clarke blow the cover of one of his agents. Former preacher Councillor Gareth Tench seems to Rebus to be involved due to his apparent closeness to one of the suspects, Niddrie thug Keith Carberry.

Rebus and Clarke pursue their investigation daily, and sometimes hourly, against the background of the 31st G8 summit, seen from both the police side and that of the protestors; among the events referred to are the epic and peaceful Make Poverty History march, the 7/7 London bombings, the 2012 Olympic bid and George W. Bush falling off his bicycle whilst waving at police officers: 'Did we just do that?' Siobhan asked quietly." Clarke also attends two concerts, the Live8 Final Push and the 2005 T in the Park.

The title refers to: the ceremony Clarke's ageing left-wing parents attend, where the names of a sampling of the dead from the Iraq War are read out; the list of victims created by Rebus and Clarke as they try to unravel the crime; and also to John Rebus' evocation of grief in naming the many of his own friends and family who have died in the course of his life.

By the end of the book, Clarke realises that she has grown closer than ever to understanding Rebus:

"It's not enough, is it?" she repeated. "Just...symbolic...because there's nothing else you can do." "What are you talking about?" he asked, with a smile. "The naming of the dead," she told him, resting her head against his shoulder. (p.410.)

She increasingly fears that she is becoming more like him:


The Naming of the Dead

She increasingly fears that she is becoming more like him:

"obsessed and sidelined, thrawn and distrusted. Rebus had lost family and friends. When he went out drinking, he did so on his own, standing quietly at the bar, facing the row of optics."

Literary significance and criticism

The book, which shows how crime permeates society, has been called "Ian Rankin's finest novel... more than a crime novel". Rebus was compared with Raymond Chandler's fictional detective Philip MarloweColumbo, of which Rankin is a fan.

Buíte of Monasterboice

Buíte (died c. 519/20Buíte mac Bronach (Brónaig), and Boetius, was a sixth-century Irish monastic. He was born near Mellifout, Louth; visited Wales and Italy; returned through Germany and Scotland to Antrim, and thence to Louth, where he built Monasterboice, i.e. the Monastery of Buite.

Ancestry

Buíte, son of Bronach, was descended from Tadhg, son of Cian, and therefore belonged to the Ciannachta. He was known as the "bishop of the monastery", that is of Monasterboice. The date of his birth is not known, but his death took place in 521, and this date is of special interest as determining that of Columba's birth, which is not given in the Annals of the Four Masters, but is stated in the following lines from Tigernach of Clones to have taken place on the same day:

The beloved Columba the clerk is born,
This day in Ireland the most learned,
On the same festival, I do not speak ignorantly,
With the fair triumphant death of the son of Bronach.

Early life

Born in the neighbourhood of Mellifont, in the south of the county of Louth, his parents, who were Christians, were in much difficulty as to his baptism, no clergyman being within reach. But some missionary priests having touched at an adjoining port, one of them baptised him; a fountain, called Mellifons (Old Irish: "sweet water") having sprung up, as it was supposed, to supply water for his baptism. An incident of his youth indicates his personal character. Sent by his mother to bring home some calves, and not returning in the evening, his parents went in search of him, and found him asleep. When awoke he asked them why they disturbed him, as "the angels were teaching him psalms and ecclesiastical offices, and if he had not been awoke he would have learned the wisdom of God."

Travels


Buíte of Monasterboice

Travels

When grown up he desired to devote himself to the service of God, and for this purpose seems first to have gone to Wales, with which the early Christians of Ireland were in close connection. Thence he proceeded to Italy, where, "in the monastery of Saint Tylia, he was gladly received on account of his knowledge of monastic discipline and acquaintance with holy scripture." Saint Tylia appears to be Saint Theilo, who became Bishop of Llandaff in 512, and some of whose people at a later period, when dispersed by a plague, took refuge in Italy, where the monastery may have afforded them shelter. Saint Theilo, before his appointment to Llandaff, had travelled much, and is even supposed to have been ordained bishop in Constantinople.

After a missionary expedition of one year to Germany, Buíte, with sixty companions, set out for the country of the Picts of Scotland. Here King Nectan, whom he is reported to have raised from the dead, bestowed on him the castrum (Latin: "fort") in which he lived, and the memory of the gift is perpetuated in the name of the place Carbuddo (Cathair-Buiti), near Dun-Nechtain, now Dunnichen, in Forfar.


Buíte of Monasterboice

Crossing over Scotland, he reached the Irish Sea, and embarking arrived at Dalriada, in the north of the county of Antrim, the territory of the Cruthin, or Picts of Ireland, of the same race as those among whom he had been labouring. Here having raised the king's daughter from the dead, he received a gift of land, on which he built a church, and, leaving a disciple in charge, passed on, and proceeded to visit the nearest settlement of his relatives, the Cianachta ("primum solum Kyanacteorum"). There were two branches of the Cianachta, one situated near Dalriada, in that part of the north of the county of Londonderry now the barony of Keenaght, and who were known as the Cianachta of Glen Geimhin; the other, more to the south, in the present counties of Meath and Lowth, were called the Cianachta Breagh. It was to the former and nearest of these that Buíte now went, but the king, who was a gentilis (Latin: "heathen"), refused to receive him. Afterwards, however, he relented, and admitted him, when "he preached the word of salvation to the whole region, and baptised the king and all his household with many others." Here again he obtained a grant of land and built a monastery. His next journey was to the Cianachta of the south, where his brothers resided; after a brief visit to them he returned again to the north. Here he was admonished by an angel to settle in the "Bregensian land", that is the land of his southern relatives, and leaving Nechtan, the bishop, in charge of the monastery, probably at Dun-Geimhin (Dungiven), where a century and a half afterwards we find another Nechtan, he obeyed the call, and arriving at his destination was honourably received by the king.

Monasterboice

In course of time and under his auspices he erected Monasterboice, the Monastery of Buíte (called in the Annals by the Latin form of his name, Boëthius), in the south of the county of Louth. There also "he, with his company, shed blessings as a shower, and amended the lives of many."


Buíte of Monasterboice

From this as a centre other establishments were formed, and numerous pastors sent forth, and the writer of his Life adds: "It is impossible to give the full praises of the man."

Legacy

The death of Buíte took place on 7 December 521; and thirty years afterwards Saint Columba is said to have visited his tomb and enshrined his remains. The Latin word elevatio, which is that generally used for taking up and enshrining a saint's remains, has been misunderstood by the author of his Life, who took it to mean his ascension to heaven in the flesh. Columba afterwards consecrated a cemetery there. The place is called in Michael O'Clery's Martyrology of Donegal by the Irish name elaidh Indaraidh. But as Buíte's disciple, Nechtain, son of Saint Patrick's sister, Liamain, who seems to have been the person left by him at Glen Geimhin, had subsequently a monastery at Finnabhair or Findabhairabha, now Fennor-on-the-Boyne, it would seem that this is the place intended, and that elaidh Indaraidh stands for "Eillgheadh [Fh]mdabhairabha", "The tomb of the fair meadow on the river", which would therefore have been the burial-place of Saint Buíte.

The Annals have preserved the following distich referring to him:

Let Buíte, the virtuous judge of fame, come each day to my aid,
The fair hand with the glories of clean deeds, the good son of Bronach, son of Bolar.

And in the Calendar of Oengus he is thus noticed:

The feast of white victorious Buíte
Of treasurous Monaster.

His name is interpreted by the scholiast on Oengus as "living to God", for unto God he was alone, referring to 2 Corinthians 5:15.


Buíte of Monasterboice

He was the contemporary of Saint Patrick, whose nephew was one of his disciples, and an obscure quatrain exists which connects Ailbe of Emly with Buíte in the foundation of Monaster. His fame was considerable at a very early period, but he has been overshadowed by more recent saints, and especially by Saint Patrick, and very little is therefore recorded of him in Irish history; but the importance of his chief church (primh-chell) of Monasterboice is indicated by the ruins of two very ancient churches, a round tower, and three sculptured crosses. Two of these are among the finest in Ireland, one being fifteen feet high and the other twenty-seven.

The Brotherhood of Fear

The Brotherhood of Fear is a 1952 political novel by Robert Ardrey. It was optioned for a film by Fox and re-issued in 2014.

Synopsis

The novel concerns a prisoner who has escaped detention in a totalitarian future state.

The fugitive, Willy Bryo, is pursued by a police officer named Konnr. The pursuit leads the two across a survey of the totalitarian state, until they both shipwreck on a utopian island not under the governance of the state. The two intruders disturb the homeostasis of the island, and, by the conclusion of the novel, the fugitive is leading a posse of locals to hunt down his pursuer.

Legacy

The reviewer for The New York Times wrote that the novel "exhibited the same craftsmanship that distinguished [Ardrey's] writing for the theater." He also drew a connection between the novel and Ardrey's most famous theatrical work, Thunder Rock.

Like his play, Thunder Rock (which was produced in both New York and London, and, somehow, never quite attracted the attention it deserved), The Brotherhood of Fear is first and last an allegory for our time.

The novel touched on many themes that would continue to be important in Ardrey's work. In particular, it explored questions about the rationales for and implications of human violence, and the connections between interpersonal violence and state violence. Ardrey would continue to consider these questions throughout his career, especially in his paleoanthropological work such as African Genesis and The Territorial Imperative.

In 1952 Julian Blaustein, executive producer at Twentieth Century-Fox, purchased the film rights for The Brotherhood of Fear, with the intention that Ardrey would be engaged to write the screenplay.

In 2014 The Brotherhood of Fear was reissued by StoryDesign LTD. in a Kindle edition.

Clonca Church & Cross

55°16′04″N 7°10′25″W / 55.267882°N 7.173547°W Clonca Church & Cross, is a historic monument located in Inishowen, County Donegal. It is one of the most important and popular historical sites in Inishowen. At 54°43′05″N it is the northernmost of Ireland's National Monuments.

History

The site occupies level ground on the edge of the valley floor of the Gleneely River. Erenaghs (lay Stewards) are recorded as being on the site in the early 17th Century.Church of Ireland stands on the site of an earlier monastic site and enclosure, likely founded around the 6th century by St. Baudan. The lintel over this later church doorway - with worn carvings of ecclesiastics - is part of an older church. Inside lies the tombstone of Magnus MacOrristin, probably a Scotsman from the Hebrides. In the field opposite the entrance to the church are two crosses: the upright (high) cross has both panels carved with interlace and figurative scenes: two lions and two individuals thought to be St. Paul and St. Anthony Miracle of the loaves and fishes, and other less identifiable scenes. To the north-west of the upright cross are the remnants of the ringed head of another (high) cross (a piece of cross-arm stored in the church is thought to be a fragment of this second feature).

In 2013, an archaeological geophysical (magnetometer) survey was undertaken at the site and the surrounding fields which recorded a double ditch circular boundary surrounding the graveyard with the standing high cross within and part of the complex. "On its south and east sides, the graveyard appears to once have occupied a more extensive area. In an arc around the graveyard from the north, to the west and south-west sides, at the edge of the plateau of land where the downslope to the valley floor begins, are the outlines of a double circle with diameters of some 80m and 95m. This looks like a precinct similar to that at Carrowmore, but in a much more complex landscape setting."Nendrum as they survive in their visible stone-walled form.

Savage Mountain

For other uses, see Mount Savage.

Savage Mountain is an anticline extending from Bedford County, Pennsylvania southwest into Western Maryland.Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, and the eastern portion of the ridge forms the border of Garrett and Allegany Counties of Maryland.

The anti-cline includes two parallel component ridges: Little Savage Mountain to the west and Big Savage Mountain to the east. Little Savage Mountain becomes Allegheny Mountain to the north at a saddle near Meyersdale, while Big Savage Mountain becomes Backbone Mountain to the south at the Savage River Reservoir.

Portions of Savage Mountain form the Eastern Continental Divide, separating watersheds draining to the Ohio River and those draining to the Potomac. To the northwest of Savage Mountain, waters drain to the Casselman River. The North Branch Potomac River watershed encompasses the southwestern and eastern portions of the ridge.

History

After Nemacolin's Path and the first survey of the Potomac (1736-1737) had passed through the area, the Braddock Road over the ridge opened in 1757. By 1767, the Mason–Dixon line survey had placed milestones across the ridgeNational Road was completed through the area by 1818.

In 1911, construction began on the Borden and Big Savage Tunnels for the Connellsville subdivision of the Western Maryland Railway. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built a connection road that is now the 6.4 mile Monroe Run Trail.

The Savage River Dam and Reservoir were constructed just southwest of the ridge in 1952 to control flooding along the Savage River and North Branch Potomac River, as well as to supply water to nearby communities.

On August 13, 1976, the freeway that would become Interstate 68 opened through the ridge.

In 2001, the fire history and dendroecology of Savage Mountain oak stands were investigated.

Wind power

In 2006, U.S. WindForce proposed a 40-megawatt (54,000 hp)wind farm on Savage Mountain at a strip-mining site.

Albert Knapp

Albert Knapp (25 July 1798, Tübingen - 18 June 1864, Stuttgart) was a German poet and animal welfare activist.

Biography

He studied theology at Tübingen, became vicar in Feuerbach (1820) and filled other positions until he made a reputation in the Hospitalkirche at Stuttgart (1836). After becoming pastor at Stuttgart, he had applied himself to poetry, especially to the composition of hymns and other poetry of a religious character. Rev. Knapp is also distinguished as an important figure in the history of the animal welfare movement in Germany. In 1837, he established the Stuttgart Society, the first German animal protection organisation in Stuttgart.

Writings

He published his hymns annually in a small volume between 1833 and 1853, under the title of Christoterpe. Among his other publications in verse are three collections of poems (Stuttgart: Christliche gedichten, 1829; Neuern gedichte, 1834; and Gedichte, neueste Folge, 1843); Evangelischer Liederschatz für Kirche und Haus (“Evangelical treasury of songs for church and home,” 1837; 3d ed., 1865), a collection taken from the liturgies and hymns of every Christian century, to which Christenlieder (1841) is a supplement; and the cycles Hohenstauffen (1839) and Bilder der Vorwelt (1862).

The Brother Moves On

The Brother Moves On (TBMO) is a South African performance art ensemble based in Johannesburg, Gauteng. The group was founded somewhere between the years 2008 and 2010 by broad-based artist Nkululeko Mthembu and his brother Siyabonga Mthembu.

The Brother Moves On is known for their multi-disciplinary live shows described as "tradition-trouncing trans-Atlantic Afro-centric futuristically ancient fusion"

History

Naming

The name The Brother Moves On derives from TBMO founders and brothers Siyabonga and Nkululeko Mthembu mishearing of Michael Potts’s enforcer Brother Mouzone in the American television drama series The Wire.

Formation and beginning

Nkululeko, Siyabonga and Zelizwe Mthembu grew up together in Kempton Park Tembisa in the East Rand of Johannesburg, South Africa. Thus they started composing together from a young age and together began the formation of what would be known as the Brother Moves On. The Mthembu brothers then began rehearsing with musicians from the Music Academy of Gauteng as Zelizwe Mthembu was enrolled in the school after having left the Moses Molelekwa School of Music in Tembisa. The Music Academy is run by trumpeter and music educator Dr Johnny Mekoa. At this school the band would start relating to the idea of musicianship fusing with the visual art and performance. Visual artist and musician Malcolm Jiyane was pivotal in this relation as a senior and lecturer at the college. This period was the beginning of long-standing relations with Oscar Kgware (saxophone), Ayanda Zalekile (trombone and later bass guitar), and Malcolm Jiyane's (trombone and piano). The lack of transportation and funds to continue this relation would necessitate a shift for the idea.


The Brother Moves On

In early 2009, Nkululeko met Raytheon Moorvan and organised for a "band meeting" with his brother and cousin at his mothers house, this would be the first formal rehearsal of The Brother Moves On. Later that week the band was booked for a performance at Mam' Busi Mhlongo's memorial and the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown Eastern Cape. This would herald the arrival of Simphiwe Tshabalala as the drummer of the band, and since then Siyabonga Mthembu, Zelizwe Mthembu, Simphiwe Tshabalala and Ayanda Zalekile have been the longest standing members of the outfit.

The Golden Wake (2009–2012)

The Golden Wake is the first musical offering from TBMO. The six-track unmastered EP was performed and recorded at the SABC media park for a live studio audience and tells a fictional tale of a young South African villager named Mr. Gold. The self-produced EP was re-released and mastered in 2015 with an additional three tracks and sees the movement from being a DIY band to being an art collective.

In the time leading up to the recording of The Golden Wake EP, TBMO had many shifts in their line up. For this particular performance/recording the line-up included Nkululeko Mthembu, Siyabonga Mthembu, Zelizwe Mthembu, Raytheon Moorvan, Simphiwe Tshabalala, and long time childhood friend of Simphiwe, Tito Sibusiso Zwana on bass guitar. A performance artist/dancer, Kyle De Boer, also featured on a track entitled "The Black Diamond Butterfly" (which incidentally is the name of the character he plays for the piece). Featuring performance artists would become a staple of the band, with Mmakgosi Kgabi, Nhlanhla Kubeka and BJ Engelbrecht featuring in the recording of A Golden Wake.

Basic conceptual outline

The Golden Wake as a performed piece is a staging of a funeral for the character of Mr. Gold (played by Siyabonga Mthembu). Audience members are invited to the wake of this funeral and throughout the performance are introduced to other characters from Mr. Gold's life.


The Brother Moves On

The story of Mr. Gold begins with a dream that he has of his grandfather. In the dream he is told by his elder to journey to the city of Gold to "Mine his dreams". Much of the thematic of The Golden Wake deals with the idea of Gold as a representation of value and interrogates this global idea of value as a charade.

E.T.A. (2012)

ETA - Expected Time of Arrival - TBMO’s second EP - presents two radio singles as a preamble to the ETA tour and the recording of the debut album. ETA was produced by Paulo Chibanga, drummer of 340ml

Track 1, "Good Times", personalises the miners' experience as a cathartic exercise in the wake of the Marikana miners' strike. Track 2, "Ya’khalimbazo", is an ode to the self-defence unit (SDU) that used to police Caleni "Kalambazo" section in Tembisa between 1990 and 1993.

A New Myth (2013)

In 2013, the band started the recording of their first full-length album. Titles including Duffel Bags Full of Dough, Game-Changing E-Minor and Fuck What You Heard and Zen or Die were thrown around before the band settled on A New Myth.

The album was released on 5 December 2013 to critical acclaim. In a review for South African music website PLATFORM, Kevin Minofu said: "The Brother Moves On is the most important band in the country" and gave the album a score of 90 out of 100.

The Goodman Gallery (2015/6)


The Brother Moves On

The Goodman Gallery (2015/6)

The band began a relationship with the Goodman Gallery as part of the Working Title exhibition curated by Emma Laurence. This would see the band cement a growing relationship with the gallery having only exhibited as part of the Goethe Institutes Project Space in the Maboneng Precinct's experimentation space Art on Main. The exhibition at Art on Main entitled the Brother Breaks the Bullion would be followed by a performance at the Goodman Gallery as part of the prestigious Johannesburg Art Week entitled The Brother Burns the Bullion. These exhibitions would include visual artist and visionary Nolan Oswald Dennis. Both Oswald Dennis and The Brother Moves On would go on to be represented by the Gallery a first in the South African art and music scene. The Brother Moves On had their first solo exhibition at The Goodman in September 2016, a homage to Nkululeko Mthembu's collaborative spirit.

Critical reception

In 2012, The Guardian described the band as "powerful and captivating" after hearing an Okayafrica compilation featuring the band.

The Brothers (2001 film)

The Brothers is a 2001 romantic comedy drama film starring Morris Chestnut, D.L. Hughley, Bill Bellamy, and Shemar Moore. The film was written and directed by Gary Hardwick, who has directed other films and television series such as Deliver Us from Eva and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper. Gabrielle Union, Tatyana Ali, Jenifer Lewis, Tamala Jones, and Clifton Powell also star in the film's ensemble cast. Dubbed as the male version of the 1995 film Waiting to Exhale, this film traces the journey of four African-American men as they take on love, sex, friendship, honesty and commitment.

The film was released in March 2001 and grossed almost $30 million at the box office, which quintupled the movie's production cost of $6 million. It was nominated for NAACP Image Awards and Black Reel Awards.

Plot

Jackson Smith, Brian Palmer, Derrick West and Terry White are lifelong friends since childhood. The film has separate subplots with each character, showing how their friendships binds them.

Jackson, a physician, struggles with commitment issues and often has nightmares with a bride. When working through his issues with a therapist, she suggests he meet a woman that night and "give his heart to her." He soon meets a beautiful freelance photographer who makes Jackson realize that he may be capable of true love and commitment. When he finds out that Denise once dated his father, his new outlook on love takes a turn.

Brian, an attorney, realizes that his chronic womanizing is catching up to him in ways he didn't imagine when a former lover (also the judge in a case he is currently working) sends him to jail. He makes a vow to not date African-American women because he believes that they carry unnecessary drama. Brian is working to gain custody of his younger brother who currently lives in a affection-less household with his mother.

Derrick, the only married member of the group, loves his wife and daughter, but is struggling with the idea of his wife not giving him the type of sex he desires. After many attempts to convince his wife that pleasing your partner is an important part of a successful marriage, he and his wife separate. In addition to wanting more in the bedroom, Derrick is trying to convince his wife to let his ailing mother live in their home.


The Brothers (2001 film)

Terry, a former womanizer who is tired of playing the field and ready to settle down, is preparing to marry his girlfriend of two months, Bebe, despite the warnings of his friends who feel that he is rushing into the commitment. As his wedding day fast approaches, he'll have to decide if he is truly ready to make the leap into the rest of his life.

Critical response

Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman gave the film a B+ grade and wrote, "These ardent, mostly single-guy romantics deeply love women but stumble the moment they try to figure out how to love them. Written and directed by Gary Hardwick, The Brothers is filled with the sort of just-try-and-top-this-sucker dialogue that leaves an audience hooting with delight, yet it digs more vibrantly into issues of trust, pleasure, commitment, and camaraderie than any Hollywood feature in recent memory."Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and particularly praised the scenes with Chestnut and Union.

On review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, The Brothers has an approval rating of 63% based on 68 critics' reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Often seen as a Waiting to Exhale with men, The Brothers is amiable. However, it feels superficial and somewhat of a retread."

Reflections (Sissel Kyrkjebø album)

Reflections is a 2019 project from the Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø. As a part of turning 50 years in 2019, Sissel will release one new song once a week for the following 50 weeks. The songs are released on her own website, sisselmusic.com followed by a music video on her official YouTube channel. On May 26, she released the first song of the project, "Unchained Melody".

The project started in Oslo in 2015. Sissel started listening to love songs, because she wanted to find different happy love songs. She listened to songs from the early 1920s and all the way up to today. After choosing her favourites, Sissel discovered that she had also chosen songs that not always was that happy. As Sissel stated on her website, introducing her project: "There is songs about longing, songs about love, songs about being in love. Songs about sadness, happiness and being cheated. And songs about joy and that's how Reflections came about."

When visiting the Norwegian TV-show, Lindmo in August 2019, Sissel told about this project: "It is my wish to invite my audience into my musical world. Not into my personal life, but into my musical universe. Then it is not enough with just one song. I also have to release a music video and a video where I explain my choice, my thoughts around it and fun facts, so people can get behind the song."

In 2016, Sissel contacted drummer and producer Bill Maxwell, who she had been working with on the 1989 album, Soria Moria. He introduced her to several musicians, like the two pianists Bill Cantos and Tim Carmon, who plays the piano and has arranged many of the songs on Reflections.Reflections I, Reflections II, Reflections III, Reflections IV and Reflections V. There are ten songs in each part, except for Reflections II, that contains 11 songs.
