Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel

The Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel (MEN) is a museum of ethnography in Neuchâtel, Switzerland established in 1904. The collections consist of 50,000 objects from all regions of the world, with about half from Africa. The MEN is well known for its museology of the rupture (muséololgie de la rupture), initiated by Jacques Hainard

Starting in 2015, major renovations were undertaken on the museum's buildings. The historical part was renovated first, followed by the temporary exhibitions building, ending in 2020.

Since 2017, the reference exhibition is L'impermanence des choses, centered on the museum's collections.

History

The collections before the establishment of the museum

James-Ferdinand de Pury

The collections' first objects came from Charles Daniel de Meuron's cabinet of natural history donated to the city in 1795. The cabinet included two hundred ethnographic pieces, originating in Oceania, Asia and Africa (by order of abundance). During the early 19th century, the collections were a mix of objects that would later form the basis for the museums of Natural HistoryArts and History and Ethnography. Throughout the century, the ethnographic collections grew in size and were moved around multiple times, often lacking sufficient space according to their curators.

The museum on Saint-Nicolas's hill

In 1902, James-Ferdinand de Pury bequeathed his villa on Saint-Nicolas's hill to the city of Neuchâtel, under condition that it be turned into an ethnographic museum. The villa was renovated by Léo Châtelain

Since 1904, the collections kept growing thanks, on the one hand, to the donations of numerous travelers, merchants, scholars, and missionaries from Neuchâtel, and on the other hand due to the acquisitions of targeted objects, in Neuchâtel, abroad, and during scientific expeditions.diplomatic gifts received by Switzerland. For example, a group of dolls wearing traditional costumes of multiple people from the Soviet Union.

The museum has gathered a significant collection of contemporary objects, mass made by industrial means. These objects are part of the museum's reflection on itself and what brings an object to be considered worthy of being in a museum.

Buildings

Buildings

Over the years, two buildings were added to the Villa de Pury and completed the museum. First, the Black Box, built in 1954–1955 during the tenure of Jean Gabus2 fresco, Les Conquêtes de l'homme, painted by Hans Erni. The fresco was completely restored in 1986.University of Neuchâtel was built and links the Villa de Pury to the Black Box. The institute includes a library shared between the museum and the university.

Due to the lack of space, a competition for an extension was announced in 2004 to mark the 100th anniversary of the museum. Raphael Zuber and Helena Brobäck won first prize together with Conzett Bronzini Gartmann, but the project was not realized and another project was implemented at a later date.Christian Kerez was one of the members of the jury.

The Villa de Pury was renovated and its contents were reorganized from 2015 to 2017. Following this reorganization, the new reference exhibition, L'impermanence des choses opened its doors on November 26, 2017.Black Box was also renovated, the collections that occupied the basement were moved to a deposit outside of the MEN freeing the space for exhibitions. During the year 2023, the stored collections (as well as those of the natural history museum, the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire and of the botanical garden) will join a deposit in Serrières

Exhibitions

Since the 1980s, under the leadership of Jacques Hainard and his successors, the MEN has developed a "museology of rupture" (muséologie de la rupture), an original approach to exhibitions that contributed to its popularity. This exhibition policy questions the audience's perception of the objects, their roles and meaning inside the museum. The role of the museum as a social institution is also studied.

Since the addition of the Black Box in the 1950s, the museum has given diverging exhibition tenets to its two buildings. The villa hosts the reference exhibitions and is focused on the collections and museology subjects. The Black Box welcomes temporary exhibitions. These will develop a discourse that is supported by a mix of objects from the collections and new objects, bought specifically for the exhibition.

Reference exhibition: L'impermanence des choses

Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel

The museum's reference exhibitions have always had the collections at the center of their discourse. From 2007 to 2012, the Museum presented an exhibition entitled Retour d'Angola. It was looking back at the second Swiss scientific mission to Angola carried out between 1932 and 1933 and organized by the curator at the time, Théodore Delachaux. By studying its own history, the museum was able to pinpoint paradoxes in the practice of ethnology and museology.

Following the renovation and reorganization of the villa in 2015–2017, a new reference exhibition opened on November 25, 2017, L'impermanence des choses. The exhibition looks at both the museum's collections and its history. The title references the way our view of the collections is constantly shifting. The exhibition focuses strongly on the museum's social role.

Temporary exhibitions

The museum started temporary exhibitions during the tenure of Théodore Delachaux (from 1921 to 1945). However, these really took off under the leadership of Jean Gabus, with the addition of the Black Box. During his time, exhibitions would vary between scientific missions results, universal themes and presentations of prestigious collections.

The recognition of the MEN resulted in numerous exhibitions being widely commented on. To cite a few, under Hainard, there is notably Objets prétextes, objets manipulés (1984),La grande illusion (2000);La marque jeune (2008),Helvetia Park (2009);Derrière les cases de la mission (2020).

From 2020 to 2021, the museum presented the temporary exhibition Le mal du voyage, which invited the audience to question tourist practices.L'impossible sauvage, which explores the apparent opposition between the wild and the civilized and the limits of such concepts. Installed on three levels in the Black Box, the exhibition is the largest ever carried out by the museum.

The park


Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel

The park

Designed and built with the villa in the 1870s, the park is part of an idea of continuity between nature and the house. It is managed by the parks and promenades department of the city of Neuchâtel. Covering an area of 8000 m2, it is home to many remarkable trees, including three giant sequoias over 30 m high. Those trees, originating in the New World are part of the architect's will to create an impression of untouched wilderness around the villa. Not having undergone complete renovation since its construction, the park is scheduled for renovation.

In an effort to highlight the park, the museum has started presenting temporary exhibitions in the grounds. The first, Mirages de l'objectif, is based on photographs of the Wodaabe taken by Henry BrandtNiger in 1953 started in 2021.slit drum brought from the island of Ambrym in the Vanuatu archipelago.inuksuk is also present, built in 2019 by Piita Irniq. For its author, the inuksuk represents strength, survival and hope; it creates a link between the Inuit and the people of Neuchâtel.

Curators and directors

The first curator was Louis de Coulon, between 1829 and 1894, who was also director of the city's museums. Frédéric DuBois de MontperreuxAngola between 1932 and 1933. Jean GabusCaribou Inuit west of Hudson Bay, as well as in Africa. He was director between 1945 and 1978, followed by Jacques Hainard

One of the discoveries includes a skull 28 cm long with a purported body length of 250 cm representing a carnivorous adult specimen.

The fossil remains were found in Belebey in Bashkortostan, Russia; the name Platyoposaurus means "flat-faced lizard" and was coined after the original name Platyops turned out to be preoccupied.


Vincenza Matilde Testaferrata

Vincenza Matilde Testaferrata née Perdicomati Bologna dei Conti della Catena, was a Maltese baroness. She served in the office of Depositario of the Inquisition in Malta in 1760–1778.

Life

In 1752 she married a cousin, Baron Paolo Testaferrata Abela, Patrizio Messina e Roma, (1736-1760), 3rd Barone di Gomerino, with whom she had several children. Her spouse held the office of 'Depositario' within the Inquisition. The Depositario headed the administrative staff of the Inquisitor's Tribunal as well as being the accountant of the court, thereby in charge of all payments, including the Inquisitor's salary.

When she became a widow in 1760, she succeeded her spouse in his office. She did this because the office was inherited from father to son in the family of her spouse, and by the time of her husband's death, she was pregnant, and gave birth to their first son, Pietro Paolo Testaferrata, only after her spouse's death. With the exception of a short period, she remained in office until 1778. This was an unprecedented achievement, as women normally did not hold any of the offices of the Inquisition.Guilio Carpegna, praised her for her service in the office and referred to her as 'the prototype of a titled Maltese Lady'.

In 1778, her son was declared of legal majority at the age of seventeen and she retired to make him the 14th member of the family to hold the office; he was also the last, as the Inquisition was abolished in 1798.

Her correspondence has been preserved.

Lolodorf

Lolodorf is a small town-centred region in the south province of the Republic of Cameroon, near the western coast of Africa. It is between Ngoumou and Bipindi, in a zone of the Atlantic Littoral Evergreen Forest.

Lolodorf, W. Africa -- selling food on road in 1900

It is notable for being the home of Pygmy clans and their camp settlements and hunting areas, such as those of the Lala and Bakola clans. The Ngumba and Kwassio (speakers of Makaa–Njem languages) and Bagyeli tribes also reside in the area, the Bagyeli having been forced off their lands by the logging industry since the 1960s and the effect of the new oil pipeline since 1999. There are also settled Bantu peoples, who previously 'owned' pygmy clans.

The name of Lolodorf is German in origin, and relates to the name of a notable of Bikoui village, Loule-Dorf. In 1897 a Christian mission was opened in Lolodorf. Most of the people in the region are now Christians.

The Lokoundje River flows through Lolodorf, said to be "narrow with fast moving water and numerous waterfalls", and there is a temporary bridge over the river. Malaria and sleeping sickness are common problems in the humid climate, and there are a variety of natural remedies in which the Pygmy healers are expert.

The nearest market is at the coastal port & resort town of Kribi, and there is a dirt road to it from Lolodorf of about 110 km, usually taking around 6 hours.

Farming, tapping palm wine, gathering fruits and nuts for food, and hunting are the main occupations. There are some cocoa plantations. Coffee was abandoned as a crop in the mid-1990s. There is said to be little river fishing. There is some limited tourism, arriving from Kribi; to see Pygmy camps, wildlife and local musicians.

Eight different languages are spoken in the town. There is a volunteer-run French radio station at Lolodorf that began broadcasting in 1997.

There has been a weather station in the town for more than 25 years.


Lolodorf

Nearby villages are Saballi and Jalalli. There is a seminary at nearby Bibia which trains Presbyterian ministers.

Oil companies aim to run an important pipeline through the area, taking oil from Doba in Chad to an undersea terminal on the sea coast at Kribi. There is a $600,000 'Indigenous Peoples Plan' as compensation to local people, following an intensive study of the area's economy in 1999. Organisations such as Forest Peoples have concerns about the management and distribution of such aid.

There is thought to be some illegal mining of diamonds and gold in the area.

St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church (Racine, Wisconsin)

For other places of a similar name, see St. Patrick's Church.

St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church in Racine, Wisconsin. It is noted for its historic parish church built in 1925 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its architectural significance.

Prior to 1925, St. Patrick's congregation worshiped in a Greek Revival building near the current church. In 1923 the congregation had Barry Byrne of Chicago design a new building. Byrne had worked for Frank Lloyd Wright and by this time specialized in designing church buildings and schools - this being his second church.

Architecture

St. Patrick's 1924 building has a nearly square floor plan, with the corners truncated with short angled walls from which triangular spires shoot skyward. The walls are wire-cut brick, pierced by tall lancet windows. The main entrance is three equal doors side by side, topped with terracotta ornament and small spires, with three windows above. In the design Byrne mixes Neogothic style (the emphasis on the vertical and the lancet windows) with Art Deco (the areas of wall space)Prairie School influence.

Inside the front entrance is a wooden narthex which supports an organ balcony. Stained-glass windows depict Old Testament prophets, the evangelists, and St. Patrick. The Stations of the Cross and Mary and Joseph appear in bas-relief panels. Alphonzo Ianelli, who had also worked with Frank Lloyd Wright, designed many of these interior ornaments.

The design of the building is fresh. Byrne's plans were exhibited at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin where they were influential, and Byrne used a similar design for the Church of Christ the King in Tulsa in 1926.

Quini

For the footballer born in 1980, see Quini (footballer, born 1980). For the footballer born in 1989, see Quini (footballer, born 1989).
In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Castro and the second or maternal family name is González.

Enrique Castro González (Spanish pronunciation: [enˈrike ˈkastɾo ɣonˈθaleθ];Quini [ˈkini], was a Spanish footballer who played as a striker.

In a career totally connected with Sporting de Gijón and FC Barcelona, he was widely regarded as one of the country's best strikers, having won a total of seven Pichichi Trophy awards, five of those in La Liga.

A Spain international for 12 years, Quini represented the nation in two World Cups and one European Championship.

Club career

Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Quini joined local Real Oviedo's neighbours Sporting de Gijón in 1968, from amateurs CD Ensidesa.La Liga, 1970–71, he scored 13 goals in 30 games and, the following nine years, only netted once in single digits and won three Pichichi, one in Segunda División; ironically, in the year in which he won his second, Sporting were relegated, the player's 21 goals being insufficient to avoid last place.

In summer 1980, Quini signed with FC Barcelona, who had already tried to sign the player after Sporting's relegation. In his first two years he totalled 47 league goals, good enough for two more individual accolades. He also helped the Catalans to the 1981 Copa del Rey, netting twice to put away his beloved Sporting in a 3–1 win in the final.1981–82 European Cup Winners' Cup, he helped Barça come from behind to beat Belgium's Standard Liège 2–1 as the decisive match was held at the Camp Nou.


Quini

In his final two years, Quini appeared infrequently with Barcelona (but scored the club's 3,000th goal in the league, in a home match against CD Castellón),testimonial; however, he reconsidered and eventually returned to former side Sporting for three more years in the top flight, being sparingly used. On 14 June 1987 he played his last match, against Barcelona, and he totalled 448 games and 219 goals in the first division alone (fifth all-time).

Quini continued to serve Sporting in the following decades, in several directorial capacities.

Kidnapping

On 1 March 1981, after scoring twice for Barcelona in a 6–0 home victory over Hércules CF, Quini was kidnapped by two men at gunpoint, being forced into a van. After many developments and 25 days – during this time, Barcelona could only amass one draw in four games, eventually losing the title race – he was rescued unharmed, upon cooperation between the Spanish and Swiss law enforcement agencies.

It was subsequently speculated that Quini developed Stockholm syndrome, since he decided not to press charges against his kidnappers and never claimed his personal damages award of 5 million pesetas.

International career

Quini made his debut for Spain on 28 October 1970, in a friendly in Zaragoza with Greece: having played the second half, he scored in a 2–1 win.

With a total of 35 caps and eight goals, Quini participated in two FIFA World Cups, 1978 and 1982, as well as UEFA Euro 1980. He could only find the net once in all those competitions (at Euro '80), and the nation suffered a 2–1 loss against Belgium.

Personal life

Quini's younger brother, Jesús, was also a footballer. A goalkeeper, he too spent several years with Sporting.Julio and Patxi Salinas at the time of their retirement.

In 2008, Quini overcame a throat cancer.

Death

On 27 February 2018, Quini died at the age of 68 after suffering a heart attack.El Molinón stadium as Estadio El Molinón-Enrique Castro "Quini" in his memory.

About 14,000 people attended Quini's funeral at his main club's homeground.

Robin Hill (American artist)

Robin Hill is an American visual artist whose work focuses on the intersection between drawing, photography, and sculpture. Since 2001, she has been on the faculty of the Art Studio Program in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of California, Davis.

Professional career

Since completing her BFA at Kansas City Art Institute in 1977, Hill has exhibited with Lang & O'Hara Gallery (1987, 1989, 1991), Lennon Weinberg(1995, 1997, 2004, 2011),State University of New York at Purchase Gallery (2001), Project Row Houses (2002),University of California, Davis Art Center (2003),California State University, Stanislaus Gallery (2006),Shasta College Gallery (2009), and Ramon's Tailor (2014).

Additionally, she has participated in hundreds of group exhibitions such as “Get Lucky: The Culture of Chance” (2012) at SOMArts, San Francisco, CA;University of Florida Gallery, which traveled to Freedom Tower/Miami Dade College, and Lafayette College; “Tomorrow’s Legacy: Gifts Celebrating the Next 125 Years”(2011) at the Crocker Art Museum; “Synthesis and Distribution, Experiments in Collaboration” (2005), for which she collaborated with Stephen KaltenbachUniversity of Florida Gallery.

In addition to having collaborated with Kaltenbach, Hill has collaborated with Ulla Warchol (exhibiting as Biolunar)

Work

Sculpture

In addition to locating Hill's work "at the crossroads of the mundane and the mystical, where he physical object pulls us into invisible realms," Raphael Rubinstein has remarked upon the "sense of epic labor" accompanying many of her sculptures, as well as how "hers is a hybrid art in its seamless joining of the found and the handmade."


Robin Hill (American artist)

In the 1980s, art writers discussed Robin Hill's sculptures in the context sculptors such as Tom Butter, Saint Clair Cemin, John Duff, Fortuyn O'Brien, Robert Gober, Steve Keister, Mel Kendrick, and Joel Otterson. This generation of sculptors were known for conveying content from "gentle craft substances: fiberglass, beeswax, veneered wood, string, paper, pigment and fabric."New York Times art review, he describes her work At Arm's Length as suggesting "hills, bones, and cliffs, but it can also bring to mind the characteristic body shift of Greek and Renaissance standing figures."

In the 1990s, Hill started exhibiting sculptures made from series of identical objects.amid a vast cadre off artists who reuse; recycle; or re-purpose the cast away materials that populate their environments; Hill stands apart as a disinterested collector; and as a kind of aristocratic flaneur of the everyday....She never makes use, cycles, or purpose: instead she makes visible, resurrects, and liberates."

Drawing

In 1995, Hill exhibited Blue Lines, five monumental drawings, "each one nine-feet tall, made on four-part panels of specially-waxed paper. All are done only in blue on white; recalling Delft tiles; and all consist of four-part units generated from the same curved line; repeated and overlaid on itself in various ways."Dixie paper cups, then dipped in ballpoint-blue paint, and sprawled on the floor in patterns recalling cloverleaf interchanges.Lines of Vision: Drawings by Contemporary Women.

After a 2013 summer residency at the Sanskritti Foundation in New Delhi, Hill made 300 rubbings of the same 1960s Eastman Kodak slide carousel, which she mounted on the walls, partly overlapping one another. Recalling her decision to do so, Hill adds, "My idea of drawing is that I could cultivate that sense of being really engaged and not worrying about the future, or what the work means in terms of the overarching ideas, and just be deeply involved in my work."

Cyanotypes


Robin Hill (American artist)

Cyanotypes

Hill's 1995 exhibition featured a cyanotype, evoking an X-ray of the "axial skeleton of some organism, or the molecular structure of a particular substance."Sweet Everyday, a 100-foot long cyanotype enwrapping Lennon, Weinberg, Inc.'s Soho gallery in a David Reed-like wavy brushstroke, created by placing ordinary shopping bags on photo-sensitive paper exposed to light.

Hill elaborates, "The immediacy of this process serves as a counterpoint to the more deliberate and labor-intensive tasks of building sculptural forms, whose invisible dimensions are revealed in the after images of their companion cyanotypes."

Sound Art

In 2006, Hill collaborated with fellow UC-Davis faculty member Sam Nichols on Kardex, an interactive sound work featuring a steel cabinet, whose 29 drawers each frame one of Hill's photographs of a friends' ears. Opening up the drawers "triggered Nichols's MIDI-to-Mac hookup mechanism."

Public collections

Hill’s work has been collected by Planet Fitness, Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Legion of Honor; Rosewood Sand Hill, Menlo Park, CA; Brooklyn Union Gas, Chatham Imports, New York; Champion International Paper, Cleary Gottlieb, New York; Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, P.C.

Market portfolio

Market portfolio is a portfolio consisting of a weighted sum of every asset in the market, with weights in the proportions that they exist in the market, with the necessary assumption that these assets are infinitely divisible.

Richard Roll's critique states that this is only a theoretical concept, as to create a market portfolio for investment purposes in practice would necessarily include every single possible available asset, including real estate, precious metals, stamp collections, jewelry, and anything with any worth, as the theoretical market being referred to would be the world market.

There is some question of whether what is used for the market portfolio really matters. Some authors say that it does not make a big difference; you can use any representative index and get similar results.

Most index providers give indices for different components such as stocks only, bonds only, et cetera. As a result, proxies for the market (such as the FTSE 100 in the UK, DAX in Germany or the S&P 500 in the US) are used in practice by investors. Roll's critique states that these proxies cannot provide an accurate representation of the entire market.

The concept of a market portfolio plays an important role in many financial theories and models, including the capital asset pricing model where it is the only fund in which investors need to invest, to be supplemented only by a risk-free asset, depending upon each investor's attitude towards risk.

Sharpe (2010) notes that many investors are at least targeted to a fixed ratio (e.g. 60% stocks, 40% bonds). He points out that this is sort of contrarian. The holdings of all investors combined must, by equation, be in the cap-weighted proportions. So many investors following this strategy implies some other investors must follow a buy-high, sell-low (trend following) strategy. He then says that he doesn't like it and people should use adjustments to the market proportions instead.

The portfolio of the average investor contains important information for strategic asset allocation purposes. This portfolio shows the relative value of all assets according to the market crowd, which one could interpret as a benchmark for the average investor. Several authors have collected data to determine the composition of the global market portfolio since 1960.


Market portfolio

The returns on the market portfolio realizes a compounded real return of 4.43% with a standard deviation of 11.2% from 1960 until 2017. In the inflationary period from 1960 to 1979, the compounded real return of the GMP is 3.24%, while this is 6.01% in the disinflationary period from 1980 to 2017. The reward for the average investor is a compounded return of 3.39%-points above the risk-free rate.

Robin Harrison (pianist)

Robin Keith Harrison (July 28, 1932University of Saskatchewan. He recorded several classical music albums, including three solo albums, and was a repeat guest performer with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.

Music career

Harrison was born in North London in 1932 to a city engineer and a homemaker. As a child, he sought out neighbours' pianos to play, by peeking in windows and then requesting to come in and play. At age eight his parents finally bought him a piano of his own, and he started lessons. From age ten he performed publicly, and in 1949 he won teenage talent of the year in a London competition in which he played Piano Sonata No. 32 by Beethoven. He was invited to perform multiple times on BBC's Children's Hour.

A scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music allowed him to study with pianist Harold Craxton. He also studied with Carlo Zecchi in Rome and Salzburg, and Ilona Kabos in London. In the late 1960s, despite having a full schedule teaching and performing in Britain, he took the position at the University of Saskatchewan in order to have a more secure job, and moved with his wife and four children to Saskatoon, Canada. He taught piano, the history of opera, and a particularly popular class, music appreciation.

He continued performing as well, and in 1984 gave a solo performance at Carnegie Hall. He also accepted multiple invitations to perform on CBC Radio broadcasts.Bagatelle for piano, and music to poems by Christina Rossetti.

Personal life

He had four children with his first wife, Eva, who died of cancer in 1977. His second wife, Marilyn, had five children herself, and at one point they had eight children living with them. Following his retirement from the university in 1994, he and Marilyn moved to Margaree Forks, Nova Scotia, and he continued with some teaching and performing. He moved in 2008 to British Columbia to be close to piano teacher Rachel Anderson, and she became his third wife when they married in 2011. He and Anderson performed piano duets at concerts in western Canada and the US.

He died in Burnaby, British Columbia, following a heart attack, age 80, on May 19, 2013.

South Coast A-League Bid

A-League expansion in the South Coast and Illawarra regions of New South Wales has been proposed since the establishment of the A-League in 2005. Before the introduction of the league, Football Federation Australia (FFA) chairman Frank Lowy speculated that he hoped to expand the competition into cities such as Wollongong, among others.

A bid known as 'South Coast Football' was entered to join the 2009–10 A-League season but lost out to Gold Coast United and North Queensland Fury. A second attempt was made by the group to join for the 2010–11 season, however lost out to Melbourne Heart and the unsuccessful-Sydney Rovers. In 2011, FFA announced that future expansion would not be considered for the foreseeable future in preference to consolidating and strengthening the existing clubs. Since that time, expansion into the South Coast region has gained momentum with FFA expressing interest to increase the size of the league from 2017.

South Coast Football bid

In 2008, a community-based group known as 'South Coast Football' put in a bid to join the A-League. The bid had its genesis in a decision by Wollongong City Council to pursue an A-League place in 2006.Wollongong, Shellharbour, Shoalhaven, Wollondilly, Wingecarribee, Kiama and Eurobodalla local government areas.

Former Wollongong City player Scott Chipperfield threw his support behind the bid and Tim Cahill also declared his support for the bid after launch his first coaching academy in Wollongong.Bruce Gordon, Australia's 14th wealthiest person, was approached to potentially help bankroll the club.WIN Stadium, Wollongong to watch a 2008 A-League Pre-Season Challenge Cup match between Sydney FC and Wellington Phoenix.

The South Coast Football bid to enter the league in 2009 ultimately lost out to Gold Coast United and North Queensland Fury. The A-League was expected to expand further into a 12 or 14 team competition in 2010 and the South Coast Football bid was considered a front runner to join the expansion, but lost out to Melbourne Heart and the unsuccessful-Sydney Rovers. In 2011, FFA announced that it is going to consolidate and strengthen the current clubs and cease expansion for the foreseeable future.

Wollongong Wolves bid


South Coast A-League Bid

Wollongong Wolves bid

The twice National Soccer League champions South Coast Wolves has been proposed as possible entry to the A-League. However, during the initial expansion efforts the club announced no plans of reaching the national stage and were in full support of a new club for the region.

In July 2015, as part of South Coast Wolves's 35th anniversary celebrations, it was announced that along with a brand new club logo, the name of the club would also change from South Coast Wolves back to their former name of Wollongong Wolves. The changes were to be brought in for the 2016 season onwards.

In April 2016, chairman of Wollongong Wolves, Andrew Byron, declared the club's intentions to enter the A-League and W-League. Byron believed the only piece missing was infrastructure and facilities that were to an A-League standard. The club's plan involved setting up six satellite youth academies with one already open and two due to be open before the end of the year. The intention would be to field a W-League team for the 2016–17 season, FFA permitting. The club would then enter an A-League team in the next league's expansion opportunity, due sometime before 2019.

Matilda's Michelle Heyman, Caitlin Cooper, Caitlin Foord have been discussed as potential players for the Wollongong Wolves W-League side, given the fact they played their junior football in the area.

The club's catchment population is roughly 500,000. The FFA has previously stated they want to establish A-League team's in areas with a million people in its catchment area. The club would play at WIN Stadium, already used by the club's National Premier League team.

Former Socceroo, Scott Chipperfield, has been playing an active part in the bid, having played at the club for the first five years of his professional career.

Wollongong's bid for an official A-League expansion license for the 2019-20 season was formally rejected by Football Federation Australia in October 2018.

Russian frigate Pallada

For other ships with the same name, see Russian ship Pallada.

Pallada (Russian: Паллада) was a sail frigate of the Imperial Russian Navy, most noted for its service as flagship of Vice Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin during his visit to Japan in 1853, which later resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Shimoda of 1855, establishing formal relations between the two countries. In addition to her diplomatic mission, her crew also conducted numerous geographical and natural studies in the Far East. She was scuttled by her own crew in the Crimean War due to the poor condition of her hull in 1855.

Construction

Pallada was built at the Admiralty Shipyard in St Petersburg, with her hull design based on the British frigate HMS President (1829), which in turn was based after an American frigate, President which had been captured as a prize of war by the Royal Navy during the War of 1812. The ship was intended from the start for use by members of the Russian imperial family on diplomatic missions, and Tsar Nicholas I issued an imperial rescript commanding that the vessel incorporate all of the latest innovations. After launching, she was based at Kronstadt with the Baltic Fleet and was assigned to the command of Captain Pavel Nakhimov, one of the ablest commanders in the Russian Navy. She entered active service in early August 1833.

Description

Pallada was a three-masted frigate of wooden construction, with a transverse steel reinforcement skeleton in her hull. The length of the hull, at the height of the main deck battery, was 52.73 m (173.0 ft) (without bowsprit), the maximum interior width was 13.31 m (43.7 ft). Her hull was sheathed in copper sheets, to prevent destruction of the wood by marine organisms. A novelty on the Russian ships at the time was the use of portholes for lighting crew spaces on the lower deck.

Nominally, Pallada was classified as 44-gun frigate (Fifth-rate); however, her actual weaponry in service consisted of 30 x 24-pounder guns on her upper deck and 22 x 24-pounder carronades on her quarterdeck and forecastle. Her crew numbered 426 men.

Service record

Service record

In 1834, Pallada transported the future Frederick William IV of Prussia on a state visit to Russia. From 1835-1836 she served in various ports in the Baltic and in 1837 was tasked with carrying gold bullion to London on a special mission for the Russian embassy. She served until 1846 as a training ship for cadets. She underwent a complete overhaul from 1846–48, and afterwards was assigned to the Mediterranean, calling on Madeira and Lisbon in 1849 and was frequently the flagship for Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia.

In 1852, Pallada was assigned to a special expedition to the Far East under the command of Admiral Ivan Unkovsky as the flagship of Vice Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin. On his expedition, Putyatin was accompanied by Alexander Mozhaysky and a secretary, the writer Ivan Goncharov, who wrote a travelogue, Fregat Pallada (The Frigate Pallas), published in 1858 ("Pallada" is the Russian spelling of "Pallas").

She departed Kronstadt on October 19, 1852, but was forced to dock at Portsmouth in England for repairs lasting a month. In January 1853, Admiral Unkovsky decided not to risk Cape Horn, but to follow the route to Asia around the Cape of Good Hope and the Indian Ocean. She spent over a month in South Africa for repairs and for collecting specimens of local flora and fauna, and crossed to the Sunda Strait in mid-May, where Putyatin sent a cable to St Petersburg requesting the dispatch of the newly built Diana due to repeated problems with Pallada. After calling on Singapore and Java, followed by Hong Kong, she reached the Bonin Islands by July 9 but was there demasted by a typhoon. While under repairs, her crew took the opportunity to explore the archipelago.

Pallada finally arrived in Nagasaki on August 12, 1853, just one month after the first visit of Commodore Perry to Uraga outside of Edo Bay. Treaty negotiations with the Japanese were difficult and protracted, and Putyatin sent the ship on a number of survey missions around the Japanese coast.


Russian frigate Pallada

After the arrival of Diana, the diplomatic crew transferred to the newer vessel while Pallada was sent to survey the coasts of Korea and the Russian Maritime Province. While at Imperatorskaya Gavan on 22 May her crew learned of the outbreak of the Crimean War with Britain and France. Unable to enter the Amur River because of her draft, she overwintered at Imperatorskaya Gavan. In the spring of 1855, Admiral Vasily Zavoyko, who was also military governor of Petropavlovsk, surveyed Pallada and declared her unfit for active service. She was left under a skeleton crew until January 1856, until orders were received to scrap her in January 1856.

As the ship was only at a depth of 20 meters, it was common for Russian, and later Japanese, divers to retrieve small items from the sunken vessel as souvenirs.

USAT General Frank M. Coxe

The General Frank M. Coxe was a steam ferry which was built for the United States Army to provide transportation services among several military facilities that ring California's San Francisco Bay. The Army port facilities, including the vessels, throughout the bay were under the command of the San Francisco Port of Embarkation from its establishment in May 1932 through World War II and the Korean War.

The 144-foot (44 m) ship's keel was laid on July 16, 1921, launched March 3, 1922, and delivered December 1, 1922, to the War Department by Charles Ward Engineering Works.Coxe and sister-ship USAT General John McE. Hyde were designed and built shortly after World War I to ferry army personnel to island bases in strategic harbors, in answer to the increasing military importance of the Pacific ports.

Prior to the availability of the current system of bridges and highways in San Francisco Bay, mobility on the water was critical. It is estimated that the General Frank M. Coxe carried six million passengers during her military service.

Design and construction

The Coxe was not a navy ship; it was among the thousands of vessels owned and operated by the US Army for specific logistical purposes.Cox & Stevens,Coxe was built in 1922, along with the General John McE. Hyde (built 1921), to Cox & Stevens design #244 by Charles Ward Engineering WorksCharleston, West Virginia,Kanawha River, a firm which specialized in shallow draft vessels such as ferries, riverboats, and tugs.Hyde was sunk by Japanese artillery at Corregidor

History

Military use

The Coxe was an active military vessel on San Francisco Bay from the 1922 to 1947, being decommissioned and sold for surplus in 1947 after the end of World War II.


USAT General Frank M. Coxe

Prior to the building of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges in the mid-1930s, ground transportation in the Bay Area was hampered by the Bay and the rivers which bisected the region from San Jose to the Sacramento River Delta. However, this region was heavily populated by the Army personnel who garrisoned and maintained the ring of fortresses and ancillary facilities from Fort Point and Fort Cronkite at the mouth of the Bay, to the Benicia Arsenal at the mouth of the Delta. There were two island fortresses: Fort McDowell (Angel Island) and Alcatraz, with each of these becoming special purpose facilities by the time of the Coxe.

By the 1920s, Angel Island and Alcatraz were considered obsolete as artillery positions, with their purposes supplanted by larger coastal guns and extensive electronic mines as the primary coastal defenses. As aircraft developed, these also became irrelevant. Angel Island developed as a processing center for inductees and recruits, and Alcatraz developed into a maximum security military prison. The Coxe provided a regular service between Fort Mason, on the north coast of the San Francisco peninsula, and Fort McDowell on Angel Island, with periodic stops at Alcatraz. The Alcatraz service continued after the Army relinquished control to the Federal Prison Bureau in the mid-1930s.

Giles, aged 50, a mail robber and four-time convict, stole an army uniform from the prison laundry and jumped aboard the Coxe just before she departed for Angel Island. Although a count of both the soldiers on the Coxe and the prisoners working on the docks alerted the authorities to an escape, an error in communication and forged documents allowed Giles to land at Fort McDowell. However, a discrepancy in his uniform brought him to the attention of an officer, who then recognized his forged documents and arrested him not knowing of the prison break. Giles was returned to Alcatraz to serve-out his sentence.

World War II

Fort McDowell, after 1932 a facility of the San Francisco Port of Embarkation, became a critical processing center of the for US troops heading to the Pacific theater of battle with U.S. entry into World War II.Coxe made as many as eight scheduled trips per day between Fort McDowell and Fort Mason.Camp Stoneman, the largest troop staging area on the west coast, Fort McDowell continued as a center for processing unassigned enlisted personnel and prisoner of war camp.Korean War.Coxe was obsolete and was decommissioned.

Post military use

Tour ferry

After her military service the Coxe was bought by the Golden Gate Scenic Steamship Line,Red & White FleetCoxe operated as the SS Frank M. Coxe as a local cruise ship and tour ferry until the 1950s.

Restaurant

Moored in Burlingame, California (2009)

After retiring as an active vessel, the Coxe was converted to a floating restaurant called the Showboat in Stockton, California.Jack London Square in Oakland, California, and then moved to Burlingame, California and operated as the Pattaya Princess, a Thai restaurant, in the 1970s and 1980s, closing in 1990.

Current use

From the closing of the Pattaya Princess until 2006, the General Frank M. Coxe was a vacant hulk, until local restaurateurs bought the ship from Mr. Robert Sherman, where it remained berthed in San Francisco Bay in Burlingame, California, just south of San Francisco International Airport.

The new owners obtained an extended lease from the City of Burlingame and renovated the vessel.General Frank M. Coxe to The Sherman in honor of the previous owner, and then was operated as a restaurant of that name.

In 2008, the owner had taken out a loan to repair her, but the loan defaulted and The Sherman went into foreclosure. The State Lands Commission, who owns the land The Sherman rested upon, asked for the vessel to be moved. On Sunday, June 15, 2014, The Sherman/Coxe was removed from her location in Burlingame and towed to the Stockton Marina.

The Sherman was towed to Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, CA and broken up for scrap. The work was completed on January 10, 2020.

Moviecam Compact

Moviecam Compact is a movie camera product line created by Moviecam in 1990.Fritz Gabriel Bauer as an improvement on his Moviecam SuperAmerica.

Description

Its potential applications are widespread, and it is regularly used on music videos, for commercials, in second unit work on features, for special effects shooting, and for motion control. It became the most popular 35 mm movie camera in general use because of its intuitive design, wide range of applications, high reliability and retail availability. In recognition of the Compact system's achievements, AMPAS awarded Moviecam a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award in 1993.

In 2004, Moviecam released the Compact MK2, with an updated drive system to improve longevity.

The Compact was used to film the horror movies Vampire in Brooklyn and Scream, directed by Wes Craven. The Compact MK2 was used to shoot The Ward, photographed by Yaron Orbach and directed by John Carpenter.

The Arricam systems, co-developed by Arri and Bauer, were inspired by the CompactArriflex 535 series in their design and mechanisms.

Market game

In economic theory, a strategic market game, also known as a market game, is a game explaining price formation through game theory, typically implementing a general equilibrium outcome as a Nash equilibrium.

Fundamentally in a strategic market game, markets work in a strategic way that does not (directly) involve price but can indirectly influence it. The key ingredients to modelling strategic market games are the definition of trading posts (or markets), and their price formation mechanisms as a function of the actions of players. A leading example is the Lloyd Shapley and Martin Shubik

Shapley-Shubik use a numeraire and trading posts for the exchange of goods. The relative price of each good in terms of the numeraire is determined as the ratio of the amount of the numeraire brought at each post, to the quantity of goods offered for sale at that post. In this way, every agent is allocated goods in proportion to his bids, so that posts always clear. Pradeep Dubey and John Geanakoplos show that such a game can be a strategic foundation of the Walras equilibrium.

An excellent description of price formation in a strategic market game in which for each commodity there is a unique trading post, on which consumers place offers of the commodity and bids of inside money, is provided by James Peck, Karl Shell and Stephen Spear.

TLD Systems, Ltd. was an American software company active in the 1980s and 1990s and based in Torrance, California, that specialized in language compilers for the JOVIAL and Ada programming languages that were targeted to embedded systems.

TLD was founded by Terry L. Dunbar in 1982 and carried his initials. It was based on work on JOVIAL compilers he did at Computer Sciences Corporation and Software Engineering Associates, Inc. in the 1970s.

TLD then entered the new market for the Ada programming language, which the U.S. Department of Defense had designated as the successor to JOVIAL and other special-purpose languages in use by the military. TLD made embedded system Ada cross compilers targeting the MIL-STD-1750A, hosted on VAX/VMS as well as several Unix-based platforms.Data General MV/32 20000 under AOS/VS II.

The Ada software environment was originally thought to be a promising market, with a number of small, new companies seeking to gain a foothold in it.

Faced with the need to conform to the new Ada 95 standard for the language, in late 1995 TLD announced a joint arrangement with Ada Core Technologies in which that firm's Ada technology would be adapted to work with TLD's other cross-development tools.

TLD Systems ceased doing business as such in 1998. Following that a small consulting firm named TLDworks, Inc. came into being with an address in Hermosa Beach, California.

Critical reception

"Too Much" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. David Amidon of PopMatters wrote that it was "hard... not to look at 'Too Much' as the brief return of the album we really want from Drake. This is the sort of song where everything comes together in such new, glimmering ways as to validate any claims Drake makes to shifting the game around on opener 'Tuscan Leather'."AllMusic called "Too Much" a "brilliant combination of brag rap and quiet storm balladry."Now praised its production as "beautiful."The A.V. Club opined that the song "is beautiful in its achy simplicity."
