Arturo Lemus Beltran

Arturo Lemus Beltran (born January 14, 1978) is a Mexican artist who entered the field at the age of 23, with no previous interest or training until he was awarded a scholarship to the Casa Lamm to study. He began exhibiting before his graduation in 2010 and since has had his work shown in Mexico, Canada and the United States as well as sold at auction for charity along with much better known names. He is also involved in a number of Japanese and Israeli civil associations and is a founding member of the Expresión Urbana Popular group, which promote art among young people.

Early life

Instead, he was working as a quality inspector at various factories until he had the opportunity to work at a cultural center in Ixtapaluca. There he began to work on painting and cartonería projects, and his talent earned him a scholarship to the Casa Lamm Cultural Center when he was 23, attending from 2007 to 2010.

Gub Gub's Book

Gub Gub's Book: An Encyclopedia of Food: In Twenty Volumes is a 1932 children's book in the Doctor Dolittle series by Hugh Lofting.

Gub-Gub the pig was one of the first animals with whom Doctor Dolittle learned to talk and appears in most of the books. This book features stories from and about Gub-Gub's attempt to write an encyclopedia of food.

The frontispiece of the book introduces "An Encyclopedia of Food in Twenty Volumes", going on to explain that "Prof. GUB GUB Announces that Owing to the High Cost of Living the other 19 Volumes of this GREAT WORK have been Temporarily Postponed". The book takes the form of a Scheherazade story, with chapters unfolding evening by evening. As Gub-Gub deals patiently with his raucous animal friends, they are drawn into his world and find out such vital information on the food map as where King Alfred burnt the cakes.

The book readable is by adults as well as children, who will possibly better appreciate the value and practicality of the gingersnap hygrometer.

The hyphen in the name Gub-Gub is replaced by a space on the dust jacket, on the title page, and on the dedication page, but the hyphen appears in the name elsewhere.

Memorial for Frederik Christian Raben, erected by his son Gregers Christian Raben

Frederik Christian Raben (23 March 1769 – 6 July 1838) was a Danish count, traveller and amateur naturalist. He owned Aalholm Castle on Lolland as well as the Lindencrone Mansion in Copenhagen.

Early life

Frederik Christian Raben was born at Aalholm Castle in 1769 as the son of Otto Ludvig Raben, 2nd Count of Christiansholm. He graduated in law from the University of Copenhagen in 1788 and inherited the family estate when he was 21 years old.

Travels

F. C. Raben was the owner of the estate Christiansholm (now "Ålholm") on Lolland and amateur botanist. He travelled in Europe and, unusual for his time, to GreenlandBrazil (1835-1838). He collected many plant specimens during his journey to Brazil. More than 1100 of his herbarium specimens now belong to the Botanical Museum at the University of Copenhagen.

Raben's great auk

Raben brought a specimen of the now extinct great auk back from Iceland in 1821. In 1968, a descendant of his, Baron Raben-Levetzau to Ålholm, put it on auction at Sotheby's in London. The highest bid - £ 9,000 - was given by Finnur Gudmunsson, then director of the Icelandic Natural History Museum. This is the highest price ever paid for a zoological specimen.

Legacy

A number of plant species have been named in his honour, particularly based on his own Brazilian collections, e.g. Miconia rabenii (Melastomaceae), Eleocharis rabenii (Cyperaceae) and Campomanesia rabeniana (Myrtaceae).

Joint Network Node

For military communications, the Joint Network Node system, or JNN as it is commonly called, is a communications system the United States Military uses for remote, satellite-based communication. It is described by General Dynamics and the US Army Signal School as "the next generation of battlefield communications."

The JNN is a system developed to replace the Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) for the United States Military. It provides Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capabilities for the Warfighter.

The JNN system includes communication equipment mounted in shelters on HMMWVs, called JNN shelters, satellite terminals mounted on trailers, and communication equipment mounted in transit cases. There are two classes of transit case equipment: Brigade Cases and Battalion Cases.

The system's core is a Promina switch and cisco routers, with NIPRNet and SIPRNet capabilities, plus secure and non-secure voice systems, VTC, and the ability to link in older "legacy" systems, such as MSE, into the global network.

As a JNN operator, the JNN is run by a 5 kw generator, which can be on any of 3 phases for power while operating the JNN. The JNN is most commonly with a battalion or brigade element in the field. It is an ATH(at the halt) piece of equipment.

Crown Prince's Hussar Regiment

The Crown Prince's Hussar Regiment (Swedish: Kronprinsens husarregemente), designated K 7, was a Swedish Army cavalry regiment located in the province of Scania that traced its origins back to the 18th century. It had a number of names over its history, most famously Mörner's Hussar Regiment (Mörnerska husarregementet) during the Napoleonic Wars. It was disbanded in 1927.

History

The regiment has its origin in a hussar corps raised in 1757. The following year, the corps was organized into Svenska husarregementet with Georg Gustaf Wrangel as commander. The regiment was split in two in 1762 forming Blå and Gula husarregementet (the Blue and Yellow regiments). These two were merged back to one in 1766 with the name Husarregementet.

Hussars of Husarregimentete Konung Karl XV as depicted in 1866

The regiment changed name quite a few times during the years, being renamed Mörnerska husarregementet in 1801, Cederströmska husarregementet in 1816 and in 1822, when Crown Prince Oscar (the later King Oscar I) became colonel in the regiment, it was renamed Kronprinsens husarregemente. For some months in 1859 and 1860 it was named Konungens värvade husarregemente before being renamed to Husarregimente Konung Karl XV. And finally, as the crown prince Gustaf VI Adolf was born in 1882 the regiment was renamed back to Kronprinsens husarregemente.

Kronprinsens husarregemente was given the designation K 7 (7th Cavalry Regiment) after a general order in 1816. It was a very special regiment because of two things. Firstly, it was the only unit in the Swedish Army without the prefix "Royal" (Kungliga), as it was the Crown Prince's, secondly, it was the largest (ten squadrons) cavalry regiment garrisoned in one town, in the world. It was disbanded in 1927 with personnel being transferred to Norrland Dragoon Regiment and the newly created Scanian Cavalry Regiment, which also contained personnel from the Scanian Dragoon Regiment and the Scanian Hussar Regiment, also disbanded in 1927.

Burtscheid, Rhineland-Palatinate

Burtscheid is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Geography

The municipality lies in the Hunsrück and belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Thalfang am Erbeskopf, whose seat is in the municipality of Thalfang.

History

The name Burtscheid is a Germanized form of the Celtic Bor(uo)cetum, with the components Borvo, meaning “warm spring”, and also a god's name (see also Worms, WormerichBourbon), and caito-, ceto-, meaning “forest” (Breton koat, koet; Welsh coed – “forest”).

In the Middle Ages, Burtscheid belonged to the Mark Thalfang whose seat was at Schloss Dhronecken (castle). After the French Revolution, the Rhine’s left bank, and thereby Burtscheid too, were ceded to France in 1794 and 1795. Through a law from 26 March 1798, the French abolished feudal rights in their zone of occupation. After French rule ended, the village passed in 1814 to the Kingdom of Prussia. Since 1947, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Politics

The municipal council is made up of 6 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.

Barmedman

Barmedman is a rural village in the Bland Shire in the New South Wales state of Australia, located approximately half-way between West Wyalong and Temora. Barmedman began as a service centre for gold-mining operations in the area. Nowadays the local district has an agricultural economic base, including wheat and canola cropping and sheep grazing. It is the home of two large wheat silos with a combined capacity of over a million bushels. At the 2011 census, Barmedman had a population of 212.

History

Barmedman pastoral run

In December 1849 the 'Barmedman' pastoral run, leased by John Cartwright, was described as having an estimated area of 36,000 acres with a grazing capacity of about 1,000 cattle. Within its boundaries was a water-source called the Barmedman Waterhole.

In August 1872 the Robertson brothers purchased 'Barmedman' station from A. G. Jones. At about the same time the brothers also purchased 'West Bland Plains' and 'Bland West' stations.

Barmedman Reefs

In 1874 newspaper reports began to appear of gold-mining operations at a location called Barmedman Reefs, on the 'Barmedman' pastoral run 70 miles north-west of Young. The location was described as “a hill of no great altitude” making up an area of 10 acres “with hardly perceptible slopes on either side”. Seams (or reefs) of gold-bearing quartz had been found within the formation which consisted of layers of slate and sandstone.

Quartz reef mining was carried out by using crushing machines which reduced the quartz to a fine dust, after which it was mixed with water and passed into ‘ripple tables’ where gold could be extracted by means of plates coated with mercury (which amalgamated with any gold fragments).

In about May 1878 a public-house opened at Barmedman Reefs, owned and managed by Mrs. Maher. Jackson’s store opened shortly afterwards at the locality. Another business at Barmedman Reefs was carried out by Christopher M’Neven, operating as a blacksmith and wheelwright.

Barmedman township


Barmedman

Barmedman township

The locality was known as Barmedman Reefs (or Barmedman Reef) until the early 1880s. From about 1882, after much of the attention had been taken away by the gold-rush at nearby Temora, the name of the township increasingly began to be shortened to Barmedman.

Barmedman main street - illustration published in Australian Town and Country Journal, 7 April 1894.

By early 1882 there were two hotels operating at Barmedman: the West Coast of New Zealand Hotel owned by Alexander Constantine (who had been a successful miner in the district) and the Barmedman Hotel owned by John Birnie. By the end of 1882 a third hotel had opened in the town, the Melbourne Club Hotel owned by John Cohen.

In August 1882 a portion of Crown Land was set aside by the New South Wales Department of Lands “as a site for the town of Barmedman”.

In May 1891 it was reported that "within a radius of 25 miles from Barmedman there are 200 families, holding in the aggregate 272,000 acres of conditionally purchased land". After a period of intense lobbying by the local Farmers' Association in August 1892 the Minister of Lands approved the establishment of a Lands Office at Barmedman.

In September 1892 a report was published regarding the economics of crushing the gold-bearing stone at Barmedman, claiming that "miners must get good stone" in order to pay the high price "for carting and crushing". Despite that "some miners are getting a very good living by going through the old workings". The correspondent stated Barmedman’s population "is about 300, and there is a good opening for a butcher and baker".

In April 1894 it was reported that Barmedman had a population of 400 residents, with a public school "under the supervision of Mr. Walsh" with "an attendance roll of 100 children".

In June 1903 a railway connection between Temora and Barmedman was opened for the carriage of goods. The continuance of the line from Barmedman to Wyalong was opened in November the same year.Central Western branch line joining with the Main Southern Railway at Cootamundra.railway line was opened which branched from the Lake Cargelligo line at Barmedman and terminated at Rankins Springs.


Barmedman

The former Commercial Bank at Barmedman, erected in 1924.

The opening of the branch line to Rankins Springs proved to be a boon for Barmedman, stimulating increased commercial activity in the township. In early 1924 the St. John’s Parish Soldiers’ Memorial Hall was completed and construction began on the two-storey Commercial Bank opposite the Queensland and Barmedman hotels.

In 1940 a sewerage system was completed for Barmedman township, at that time claimed to be "the smallest town in New South Wales to be granted a sewerage scheme". This was a significant achievement considering Barmedman’s population "of approximately 500 residents" and the State Government’s policy of not approving sewerage schemes "where the population did not number 1,500". The success of the original application to Government was attributed to the advocacy of Councillor A. Holland, the Shire President of Bland Shire Council. At about the same time Barmedman was connected with a water supply and "bulk electricity supply" from Burrinjuck Dam.

In July 1945 the residents of Barmedman assembled to welcome Sergeant Reg Rattey who had been awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry on Bougainville. Rattey, who was born at Barmedman, arrived by train from Sydney. His parents and siblings boarded the train at Reefton prior to its arrival at Barmedman. A brass band from West Wyalong led a procession from Barmedman station to the centre of town "where three lorries were parked close together" to form a platform which was draped with flags. During the speeches Rattey "looked uncomfortable" as the speakers "extolled his heroism". He "appeared lost for words" when asked to respond; after a long pause he said "Thanks for booming me up", before adding "the boys still up on Bougainville are doing just as good a job as I did, and getting no recognition".

Rugby league

Although the town no longer has a team, rugby league is the most popular sport in Barmedman.


Barmedman

In February 1911 West Wyalong joined the New South Wales Rugby League, the first inland town in NSW to do so.The] Barmedman team should study up the Rules, especially on off-side play, which will prevent them from being penalised so often, and another point, when the scrum-half puts the ball in the scrum he should retire behind his pack, and not rush around to collar the opposing scrum-half before the ball is out of the pack".

The Barmedman rugby league team has been described as the "mouse that roared" during the Maher Cup period from 1920 to 1971. The Maher Cup was a district challenge competition, with the trophy held by the winner of each successive match. On statistical evidence alone the sporting record of the Barmedman Maroons is not particularly impressive, having won just 34 of their 106 games in the Maher Cup competition. There were, however, periods when the Barmedman team held the cup against teams from townships with far larger populations. Barmedman's first Maher Cup success was in 1929 with a team "claimed to be composed entirely of local players", after which they held the cup for five successive challenges. In April 1955, a week after Barmedman had defeated Boorowa to win back the trophy, the Barmedman team defeated Junee by 72 to 3 in their first defence, "the biggest margin ever in Maher Cup football". The Barmedman Maroons were notable for the fanaticism of their supporters and attracted renowned players to captain-coach, including George Mason, Tom Kirk, Keith Gittoes and Ron ('Dookie') Crowe.

Aspects of the town

The Barmedman Mineral Pool is located on the edge of town. The large pool originated as a flooded gold-mine and contains water with a high mineral content, fed by groundwater from an aquifer. Located within a four hectare reserve the pool is surrounded by shady grassed areas, with facilities such as barbecues and change rooms. Barmedman Mineral Pool is open from mid-October to the end of March and admission is by donation.


Barmedman

The annual Barmedman Show is held every year on the first Saturday in September. The event began in September 1907 with the inaugural Ploughing Carnival and Horse Parade "held on Mr Doel’s farm, 2½ miles from Barmedman", attended by 700 people. The event featured ploughing matches and horse judging events, as well as bread-baking, fresh butter and home-made jam competitions. A newspaper report of the event predicted "that it will eventually merge into a full-blown show".

Barmedman also hosts a Modified Tractor Pull competition, usually held in October. The event features customised tractors pulling a weighted sled. The vehicles compete in various modification categories: mini-modified, open-modified, limited, super-modified tractors and two-wheel drive trucks. The popular Modified Tractor Pull has additional attractions such as children’s rides, trade stalls, and a variety of other entertainment.

Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017

The Czech Republic participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "My Turn" written by DWB and Kyler Niko. The song was performed by Martina Bárta, who was internally selected by the Czech broadcaster Česká televize (ČT) to represent the nation at the 2017 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine. Bárta was announced as the Czech representative on 15 February 2017, while the song "My Turn" was presented to the public on 7 March 2017.

Czech Republic was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2017. Performing during the show in position 14, "My Turn" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Czech Republic placed thirteenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 83 points.

Background

Main article: Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2017 contest, the Czech Republic had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest five times since its first entry in 2007.2007 Kabát performing "Malá dáma" placed 28th (last) in the semi-final achieving only one point, in 2008 Tereza Kerndlová performing "Have Some Fun" placed 18th (second to last) in her semi-final scoring nine points and in 2009 Gipsy.cz performing the song "Aven Romale" placed 18th (last) in their semi-final failing to score any points. The Czech broadcaster withdrew from the contest between 2010 and 2014 citing reasons such as low viewing figures and poor results for their absence, and returned to the contest in 2015, once again failing to qualify to the final with the song "Hope Never Dies" performed by Marta Jandová and Václav Noid Bárta.2016, Czech Republic managed to qualify for the final for the first time, placing 25th with Gabriela Gunčíková and the song "I Stand".

The Czech national broadcaster, Česká televize (ČT), broadcasts the event within Czech Republic and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. The broadcaster has used both national finals and internal selections to select the Czech Eurovision entry in the past. ČT confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest in September 2016, while also confirming that the Czech entry for the 2017 contest would be selected internally.

Internal selection

ČT announced in September 2016 that the Czech entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 would be selected internally.

On 15 February 2017, ČT announced that Martina Bárta would represent the Czech Republic in Kyiv, while the song "My Turn", which was written by the British team DWB (Paul Drew, Greig Watts and Pete Barringer) together with Kyler Niko, was announced as the Czech entry for the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest.Michal Pavlíček, and musician, composer and conductor Ota Balage.

Promotion

Martina Bárta made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "My Turn" as the Czech Eurovision entry. On 25 March, Bárta performed during the Eurovision PreParty Riga, which was organised by OGAE Latvia and held at the Crystal Club Concert Hall in Riga. On 2 April, Bárta performed during the London Eurovision Party, which was held at the Café de Paris venue in London and hosted by Nicki French and Paddy O'Connell. Between 3 and 6 April, Bárta took part in promotional activities in Tel Aviv, Israel where she performed during the Israel Calling event held at the Ha'teatron venue.Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Cornald Maas and Selma Björnsdóttir.Eurovision Spain Pre-Party, which was held at the Sala La Riviera venue in Madrid, Spain.Eurovision Meets Jazz event, which took place at the Jazz Dock in Prague.

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.


Once all the competing songs for the 2017 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. The Czech Republic was set to perform in position 14, following the entry from Iceland and before the entry from Cyprus.

In the Czech Republic, the semi-finals were broadcast on ČT2 and the final was broadcast on ČT1. All three shows featured commentary by Libor Bouček, who was joined by Martina Bárta for the final.

Semi-final

Martina Bárta took part in technical rehearsals on 1 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 8 and 9 May. This included the jury show on 8 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries.

The Czech performance featured Martina Bárta appearing alone on stage wearing a deep-cut golden metallic jumpsuit designed by Zoltán Tóth.Michal Strnad, Štěpán Janoušek and Veronika Vítová.

At the end of the show, the Czech Republic was not announced among the top 10 entries in the first semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Czech Republic placed thirteenth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 83 points: 2 points from the televoting and 81 points from the juries.

Voting

Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.


Below is a breakdown of points awarded to the Czech Republic and awarded by the Czech Republic in the first semi-final and grand final of the contest, and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the two shows:

Evoluon

View from the south

51°26′37″N 5°26′49″E / 51.44361°N 5.44694°E The Evoluon was built in 1966 as a science museum by the electronics and electrical company Philips. It quickly became a landmark in Eindhoven, where Philips was headquartered at the time. The museum closed in 1989 and the building reopened as a conference centre and exhibition venue in 1998.

The building is unique due to its very futuristic design, resembling a landed flying saucer. It was designed by architects Leo de Bever and Louis Christiaan Kalff,James Gardner. De Bever and Kalff only got two demands for the design of the building, it had to be "spectacular" and it had to be possible to hold exhibitions in the building.

Its concrete dome is 77 metres (253 ft) in diameter and is held in place by 169 kilometres (105 mi) of reinforcing steel bars.

In the 1960s and 1970s the Evoluon attracted large numbers of visitors due to its innovative interactive exhibitions. When competing science museums opened in other cities, the number of visitors declined and the original museum closed down in 1989. The building was converted into a conference centre which opened in 1998.

In the UK the Evoluon is chiefly remembered from Bert Haanstra's wordless short film entitled simply Evoluon, commissioned by Philips to publicise the museum, and shown as a trade test colour film on BBC television from 1968 to 1972.

In October 2013 the Evoluon was used to stage four 3D-concerts by the German electronic band Kraftwerk, each before an audience of 1,200 spectators. Key band member Ralf Hütter handpicked the venue for its retro-futuristic look. Bespoke 3D-visuals of the saucer section of the building descending from space were used in the live rendition of their track Spacelab.

On September 24, 2022, the Evoluon reopened to the public with the RetroFuture exhibition.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy (AIR)

The Assistant Secretary of the Navy (AIR) was a civilian office of the United States Department of the Navy. The Assistant Secretary of the Navy (AIR) initially reported to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and later to the Under Secretary of the Navy.

Flag of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics

With the emergence of naval aviation as a major new military technique, the Navy had increasingly large organizations to oversee it. From 1910, there was an Officer in Charge of Aviation, then a Director of Naval Aeronautics, then in 1916 a Director of Naval Aviation. In 1921, Congress replaced those positions with a distinct Bureau of Aeronautics. Finally, on June 24, 1926, Congress created the position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics to oversee the United States' naval aviation forces. The position was vacant from 1932 until 1941, and upon being re-occupied, the position was re-titled Assistant Secretary of the Navy (AIR) on September 11, 1941.

On February 6, 1959, the office was redesignated Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research and Development).Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Engineering and Systems).

The office was disestablished in 1990, when the office was merged with the office of Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Shipbuilding and Logistics) to create the new office of Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisitions).

Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016

The Czech Republic participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "I Stand" written by Christian Schneider, Sara Biglert and Aidan O'Connor. The song was performed by Gabriela Gunčíková, who was internally selected by the Czech broadcaster Česká televize (ČT) to represent the nation at the 2016 contest in Stockholm, Sweden. Gunčíková and the song "I Stand" were announced as the Czech entry on 10 March 2016. The song was presented to the public on 11 March 2016.

Czech Republic was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2016. Performing during the show in position 10, "I Stand" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. This marked the first qualification to the final for the Czech Republic since they debuted in the contest in 2007. It was later revealed that Czech Republic placed ninth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 161 points. In the final, Czech Republic performed in position 2 and placed twenty-fifth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 41 points.

Background

Main article: Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2016 contest, the Czech Republic had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest four times since its first entry in 2007.2007 Kabát performing "Malá dáma" placed 28th (last) in the semi-final achieving only one point, in 2008 Tereza Kerndlová performing "Have Some Fun" placed 18th (second to last) in her semi-final scoring nine points and in 2009 Gipsy.cz performing the song "Aven Romale" placed 18th (last) in their semi-final failing to score any points. The Czech broadcaster withdrew from the contest between 2010 and 2014 citing reasons such as low viewing figures and poor results for their absence.2015, Czech Republic returned to the contest and once again failed to qualify to the final with the song "Hope Never Dies" performed by Marta Jandová and Václav Noid Bárta.


The Czech national broadcaster, Česká televize (ČT), broadcasts the event within Czech Republic and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. The broadcaster has used both national finals and internal selections to select the Czech Eurovision entry in the past. ČT confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in August 2015.

Before Eurovision

Internal selection

ČT announced in November 2015 that the Czech entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 would be selected internally.iDNES.cz reported that the artists behind the three shortlisted entries were singers Dasha and Thom Artway as well as the band Light & Love.

On 10 March 2016, "I Stand" performed by Gabriela Gunčíková was announced by ČT as the Czech entry for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest.Michael Kocáb, composer and producer Jan Maxián and composer and 2015 Czech Eurovision entrant Václav Noid Bárta.

Promotion

In the lead up to the Eurovision Song Contest, Gabriela Gunčíková performed as part of the Rock Meets Classic concert series where she was one of the vocalists for the Mat Sinner Band, which included Primal Fear members Mat Sinner, Alex Beyrodt and Tom Naumann (guitars), Voodoo Circle's Jimmy Kresic (keyboards), Veronika Lukešová (drums) and backing vocalists Tiffany Kirkland, Kolinda Brozovic and Sascha Krebs.TVM talk show programme Xarabank and performing during the Malta Eurovision Party at the Aria Complex in San Ġwann.Euro Party event organised by OGAE Czech Republic, which took place at the Fénix club in Zlín.

At Eurovision

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.


Once all the competing songs for the 2016 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. The Czech Republic was set to perform in position 10, following the entry from Russia and before the entry from Cyprus.

In the Czech Republic, the semi-finals were broadcast on ČT2 and the final was broadcast on ČT1.

At the end of the show, Czech Republic was announced as having finished in the top 10 and subsequently qualifying for the grand final.2007. It was later revealed that the Czech Republic placed ninth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 161 points: 41 points from the televoting and 120 points from the juries.

Final

Shortly after the first semi-final, a winners' press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine which half of the grand final they would subsequently participate in. This draw was done in the order the countries appeared in the semi-final running order. Czech Republic was drawn to compete in the first half.Belgium and before the entry from the Netherlands.

Gabriela Gunčíková once again took part in dress rehearsals on 13 and 14 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show.

Voting

Voting during the three shows was conducted under a new system that involved each country now awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.


Below is a breakdown of points awarded to the Czech Republic and awarded by the Czech Republic in the first semi-final and grand final of the contest, and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the two shows:

A Feather on the Breath of God is an album of sacred vocal music written in the 12th century by the German abbess Hildegard of Bingen, and recorded by British vocal ensemble Gothic Voices with English soprano Emma Kirkby. It was released by the Hyperion Records label in 1982.

Production

It was recorded in St. Jude's Church, Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, on 14 September 1981.Latin texts are from a contemporary medieval manuscript (Wiesbaden, Hessische Landesbibliothek M52) edited by Dr. Christopher Page, who also directed the recorded performance itself.

It is an album of early medieval plainchant of which the title is taken from a passage in Hildegard's writings in which she describes herself:

Listen: there was once a king sitting on his throne. Around him stood great and wonderfully beautiful columns ornamented with ivory, bearing the banners of the king with great honour. Then it pleased the king to raise a small feather from the ground and he commanded it to fly. The feather flew, not because of anything in itself but because the air bore it along. Thus am I '"A feather on the breath of God."

Accolades

The album received the Early-Medieval Gramophone Award for 1982–1983.

Legacy

In 2020, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The recording of "O Euchari" was sampled on "The Sun Rising" by The Beloved, and "Belfast" by Orbital.

A Feast of Snakes

Reception

Kirkus Reviews gave the novel a glowing review, writing that "Crews is a true regional writer out of the heart of the redneck rural south and besides the brutality . . . there's the humor, the dynamite dialogue, and the real despair--all tetched with talent."Guy Owen, in The Georgia Review, called it a "surrealistic study of violence and competitiveness in the South."Time magazine thought that it was "full of brilliant descriptions and characters attempting to kick and gouge their way through some back door to salvation."The Virginia Quarterly Review described the paperback edition as "a fierce and funny account of life in Mystic."The Pequod rated the book an 8.5 out of 10.0, saying it has “unforgettable characters, sharp dialogue and real despair. But the scenes are disconnected, and the violence becomes gratuitous — and the result is a handful of excellent set pieces rather than a great novel.”The Quietus also praised the book, saying “the novel’s heart pulsates with violence but the prose is such that the words sing and rise right off the page.”

A Feast of Snakes was for a time banned in South Africa.

Background

The Rattlesnake Roundup is based on an actual event held annually in Claxton, Georgia.

Elean War

The Elean or Eleian War (c. 400 BC) was a conflict between the Greek city-states of Sparta and Elis.

Background

Sparta and Elis had been allies against Athens during the early Peloponnesian War, but relations between them soured after Elis refused to endorse the Peace of Nicias in 421 BC. In 420, the Eleans, claiming that Sparta violated a truce brought about by the Olympic Games, barred their erstwhile ally from participating in them, and flogged a Spartan who tried to do so anyway.Argos and Mantineia) which attacked Sparta at the behest of Athens, only to suffer defeat at the Battle of Mantineia.

Course

The war began in 402, 401 or 400 BC when the Spartan king Agis led an invasion of Eleia from the northeast through Achaea, along the river Larissus.Xenophon, interpreted as a bad omen, prompting him to call off the invasion and disband his army.Olympia, and suffered a defeat there at the sacred Olympian precinct of Altis.

At the urging of the ephors, Agis led a second invasion, probably in the summer of the following year,Corinthians and Boeotians. Agis invaded from the south through Messenia, marching alongside the Pamisus river and then through the defile of Aulon (north of modern Kyparissia), before crossing the Neda.Lepreans, Macistians, and Epitalians revolted from Elis and joined the invading Spartans, as did Letrini, Amphidolis, and Margana after Agis crossed the Alpheus.Zeus unopposed, and thence proceeded northwards, probably through the coastline, towards the city of Elis itself, ravaging the country as he went.Arcadia and Achaea, eager for a share of the plunder.gymnasia, moved towards the Elean harbor of Cyllene, whose surroundings he also pillaged.


Elean War

At this juncture, a wealthy citizen of Elis, Xenias, who was an agent (proxenos) of Sparta inside the city as well as a personal friend of Agis, attempted to stage a pro-Spartan oligarchic coup, instigating a slaughter and killing a man who resembled the democratic leader Thrasydaeus.agora, but it was soon discovered that Thrasydaeus was in fact alive, asleep somewhere else after becoming drunk, and his supporters immediately swarmed to his protection. Thrasydaeus then successfully drove Xenias and his partisans out of the city, and they in turn fled to the Spartan camp.Laconia and disbanding his army, the Spartan king Agis left a garrison at Epitalium, with one Lysippus as the harmost (military governor), and the Elean exiles under their care.

A third Spartan expedition, this time under their other king, Pausanias, met a minor defeat outside the walls of Elis against some Aetolian mercenaries, but the Eleians, seeing that prolonged resistance was futile, surrendered.

Fourteen-year-old Jake is forced to be left to live at a retirement home in Poughkeepsie, New York while his father, Dr. Robert Lansa, travels to help his friend Bill set up a jaguar preserve. Doc, as everyone calls him, takes longer than expected in Brazil and sets up a plane ride for Jake to visit during his Spring Break. When he arrived in Manaus, Jake met Buzz, the expedition's pilot who is supposed to track jaguars at the preserve. Jake meets Doc but is angry with him for not arriving home, not keeping in touch, and not meeting him at the airport. A couple mornings later, Bill is working on the boat they received, and Buzz, Doc, and Jake are heading outside when the boat explodes. This explosion kills Bill, injured Buzz's leg, and injured Doc's arm. At first, the expedition is called off, but Silver, a skipper who lives in his boat nearby, offers his boat. At first, the expedition declines, but they decide that Jake could be the pilot and they could take the boat up the Amazon. Flanna, the expedition's botanist, goes with Doc to Brasilia to get the exploration permit changed. Meanwhile, Buzz teaches Jake how to fly the Morpho, a small ultralight plane. One night, Jake goes into Silver's boat and while looking at some of Silver's books, he is attacked by a man with a scar on his face and knocked out. Jake keeps this a secret between himself and Silver. When Doc and Flanna return, Doc, Flanna, Silver, and Jake get ready for the trip up the Amazon.

Silver is the captain of his boat, named the Tito. Silver secretly knows about the man with the scar and encourages everyone to keep a shotgun nearby on the boat. The boat breaks down and they must stop at a village while Silver finds a mechanic there. This is a miserable shantytown with an Indian camp nearby and a gold mine that has small claims from virtually everyone in the shantytown. Jake sees the man with the scar through binoculars and runs to warn Silver. Soon Jake finds Silver and Doc is worried and finds Jake. Then, Doc learns of a jaguar that comes to the town every night and "vandalizes" the town. There is a betting pool for whoever gets the weight of it right when it is caught. Doc meets with the Indian, Raul, who helps him tranquilize the jaguar under the conditions that he gets to come on the expedition to see it let go and that it gets weighed. Doc agrees and they successfully capture the jaguar, get it weighed, and quickly leave the village. Raul wins the betting pool and donates the money to his camp before he leaves.
