Beni (music)

Deriving from English 'band', Beni is a popular wedding entertainment with a strong focus on rhythm and dance, and audience participation. Commonly, Zanzibar is recognized as place of origin around the turn of the 20th century as a mockery of colonial style military bands.

Beni appropriated symbols of colonial authority as the military drill, uniform, and elaborate hierarchies.

History

Beni dance from Mangochi district, southern Malawi

Beni has its origins in urban Swahili communities on the Kenyan coast in the 1890s.Tanga and Dar es Sallam. During the First World War, beni was danced in both armies. First accounts of beni in Nyasaland were around 1918. Prisoners of war danced it in the detention camp at Zomba, followed by detachments of the 2nd KAR when they returned to Nairobi.

In 1921, beni was linked to those who served in the WWI. In the late colonial period, beni was a way for young people to express their independence.

In Zanzibar, Beni is performed both as a street parade and stationary as a wedding dance.

Building at 143 Highland Avenue

143 Highland Avenue is a well-preserved late 19th-century tenement house in the town of Hardwick, Vermont. It was built about 1889 to serve as housing for workers in the area's granite quarries, and preserves a number of the utilitarian features that characterize these types of worker housing. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Description and history

143 Highland Avenue is located in a residential area north of the commercial center of Hardwick, on the south side of Highland Avenue between Daniels Road and Riverside Terrace. It is a large 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is oriented to the east, facing its parking area. It is symmetrically arranged and five bays wide, with a modest center entrance sheltered by a shed-roof porch that extends between flanking polygonal bays. The roof above is pierced by two shed-roof single-window dormers. The gabled sides are four bays wide; with the basement exposed at the rear and left side due to the lot's sloping terrain. The interior houses mirror-image units on the first and second floors, with an additional unit in the attic space. The basic layout of the first and second floor units is historical, although accommodations have been made for plumbing (not present in the original construction) during rehabilitation of the structure. Period woodwork was retained during the rehabilitation as much as possible, and an ahistoric rear porch system was replaced by one more closely resembling that of early photographs.

This building was constructed about 1889, in order to address burgeoning demand for worker housing in the area's granite quarries and processing sheds. Unlike other industrial communities, Hardwick's businesses did not build company-owned housing to satisfy this demand, relying instead on local residents to provide housing. This tenement was apparently built by J.J. Campbell, who purchased the parcel and lived in a house across the street.

Hannoversche Waggonfabrik

A Hannover CL.II escort fighter.

Hannoversche Waggonfabrik AG was a German aircraft manufacturer of the World War I era. It was known as a railway rolling stock constructor until required by the German government in 1916 to start the construction of aeroplanes. The aircraft branch of the company was established at Hannover-Linden where other types were first manufactured under licence until 1916 when the Hannover type itself came on stream.

History

GB Class 1 tram delivered to the Trondheim Tramway in 1924

Hawa electric car 1922

The Hannoversche Waggonfabrik AG (Hawa) was founded in 1898 to build passenger and freight cars for Germany's railways. When the First World War began, Hannover built rolling stock for the German military, before gradually becoming more and more involved in the production of aircraft, starting with the manufacture of propellers in 1915 before moving on to repair work, and the license manufacture of aircraft by the end of the year. An important reason why Hannover, along with other railway manufacturers, was encouraged to move into aircraft work was that, not only did it have an extensive, well trained workforce, but also possessed large stocks of seasoned wood.

Hannover hired Hermann Dorner, formerly of DFW as chief designer in September 1917,Hannover CL.II. This proved a great success, and was followed into production by the improved Hannover CL.III.

The further improved Hannover CL.V was in production at the end of the war, but while Hannover attempted to move into civil aircraft manufacture, the Treaty of Versailles suspended all aircraft manufacture and Hannover returned to its original business of railway stock manufacture.

Hannover CL.V

The Hannover CL.V was a biplane ground-attack aircraft built in Germany during World War I, which saw some service and additional production in Norway following the war.

Development

Derived from the Hannover CL.II, the CL.V shared the same conventional biplane configuration and incorporated the overhanging, aerodynamically-balanced ailerons developed for the Hannover CL.III. The characteristic biplane tail used on earlier Hannover CL-class machines was dispensed with, and a conventional empennage was fitted to the prototype, although German production machines reverted to the earlier tail.

Hannover CL.V with biplane tail

The CL.V was first tested in July 1918, which led to an initial order from Idflieg for 20 aircraft powered by the Mercedes D.III engine for evaluation. Further orders followed for CL.Vs powered by the BMW IIIa engine, which gave superior performance and were intended as dedicated two-seat fighters. Only 46 were built before the end of the war, and none of them had been put into service by that time. Hannover built another 62 examples after the Armistice.

In its civil configuration, designated F.6, the aircraft dispensed with the rear cockpit, and used the monoplane tail unit that had been fitted to the CL.V prototype. One stripped-down example was used to set a world altitude record of 8,340 m (27,335 ft) on 22 October 1919.

In 1923, another 14 CL.Vs were produced for the Norwegian Army Air Service by Kjeller Flyvemaskinsfabrik with the original monoplane tail. These were known by the Norwegians as the Kjeller FF.7 Hauk ("Hawk") and remained in service until 1929.

Henri Robin

Publicity photography for Henri Robin (1863).

Henri Robin (1811–1874), born Henrik Joseph Donckel, was a French illusionist, born in Hazebrouck. In the early 1850s, he performed at Windsor Castle, at the request of Queen Victoria. In 1861, he became the first illusionist to offer a full programme of magic at Egyptian Hall in London. Between 1862 and 1869, he managed a theatre in the Boulevard du Temple, Paris. His most well-known illusion in these years was "The Medium of Inkerman", in which a drum on stage was apparently struck by an unseen spirit, in response to questions from the audience.


Carotene (horse)

Carotene (foaled 1983 in Ontario) is a Canadian Thoroughbred Hall of Fame racehorse who holds the filly or mare record for winning the most Sovereign Awards. Bred by David Willmot's Kinghaven Farms, she was a daughter of the British sire Great Nephew, who also sired Epsom Derby winners Grundy and Shergar. Carotene's dam was Carrot Top, a mare David Willmot purchased in foal from the Whitney family at the 1982 dispersal sale of their bloodstock in the United Kingdom.

Racing career

1985 & 1986 Racing Seasons

Carotene was trained by Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee Roger Attfield and raced from a base at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. In 1985, the two-year-old filly won her only start. The following year, she won the Toronto Cup Stakes, and the Wonder Where Stakes. She ran second in the 1986 E. P. Taylor Stakes and after going to California to race, finished third in the Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Santa Anita Park.

In the 1986 Canadian Triple Crown races for three-year-olds dominated by males, she finished second to Golden Choice in the Prince of Wales Stakes on dirt, then under jockey Richard Dos Ramos won the third and longest leg of the series run on turf, the 1½ mile Breeders' Stakes. Sent to Japan for the 1986 Japan Cup, Carotene finished ninth to winner Jupiter Ireland.

Carotene's 1986 performances earned her two Sovereign Awards for Canadian Champion 3-Yr-Old Filly and the first of her three consecutive Canadian Champion Turf Horse titles.

1987 Racing Season

At her home base at Woodbine Racetrack, Carotene won the 1987 Nassau Stakes and was second in the Niagara Handicap and the King Edward Stakes. In the United States, she beat males in the New Hampshire Sweepstakes Handicap at Rockingham Park, won the Matchmaker Handicap at Atlantic City Race Course, and won the Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Santa Anita Park.

Carotene's performances earned her two more Sovereign Awards as the 1987 Canadian Champion Turf Horse and Canadian Champion Older Female Horse.

1988 Racing Season


Carotene (horse)

1988 Racing Season

After her 1987 season in Canada, Carotene's handlers sent her south to Florida for the winter racing season, where jockey Don Seymour rode the five-year-old to victory in the 1988 Grade I Pan American Handicap at Gulfstream Park. In that race, she defeated males and did it in a winning time that was one-fifth of a second off the course record.

At home at Woodbine Racetrack, Carotene's best result was a second in the Jockey Club Cup Handicap. In other races in the United States, she ran second in the Santa Barbara Handicap and third in the 1988 San Juan Capistrano, the Matchmaker Handicap and the Sword Dancer Invitational Handicaps. At the end of the 1988 racing season, she was voted her third straight Sovereign Award for Champion Female Turf Horse and her second straight Canadian Champion Older Female Horse.

As a broodmare, Carotene had the first of her eight foals in 1990 and her last in 2003.

Hispanopithecus

Hispanopithecus is a genus of apes that inhabited Europe during the Miocene epoch. It was first identified in a 1944 paper by J. F. Villalta and M. Crusafont in Notas y Comunicaciones del Instituto Geologico y Minero de España. Anthropologists disagree as to whether Hispanopithecus belongs to the subfamily Ponginae (most closely related to modern orangutans) or Homininae (most closely related to gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans).

The genus contains two known species: Hispanopithecus laietanus and Hispanopithecus crusafonti. The fossils have been dated to between 11.1 and 9.5 million years ago.

Morphology

Postcranial features exhibit morphological features that suggest a mosaic of locomotive behaviors. The structure of the cortical bone at the proximal and distal ends of the femur, particularly the neck of the femoral head, indicate an orthograde body plan.vertebrae indicate a relatively short, wide, and deep thorax support the orthograde posture for climbing, clambering, and feeding in an arboreal environment. The longer forelimbs and dorsally situated scapulae provide a broad range of motion which would enable suspensory below-branch behavior and proficiency in reaching food during foraging.

The humeral-ulnar joint allowed for hyperextension and flexion of the forearm.carpals and metacarpals with dorsally extended articular surfaces provide strong indication of palmigrade quadrupedalism in above-branch locomotion. The proximal phalanges are strongly curved and relatively long when compared to other great apes and most closely resembling the structure of extant orangutans. The length and curvature of the manual phalanges indicates the 'double-locking' mechanism similar to orangutans and enable a powerful grip around slender branches.


Hispanopithecus

The body mass estimates of recovered specimens provides strong evidence of sexual dimorphism. The males have been estimated to weigh approximately 40 kilograms (88 lb) and possess prominent canine teeth. The females have been estimated to weigh approximately 22–25 kilograms (49–55 lb) and possess reduced canine teeth.dental formula of Hispanopithecus, common to great apes, is
2.1.2.3
2.1.2.3
with the Y5 occlusal surface present on the lower molars.

Diet and environment

Analysis of the microwear of the teeth of Hispanopithecus indicate a morphological preference for softer foods, including fruits and possibly young leaves. A combination of surface scratches and pitting are indicative of a mixed diet, lacking many hard foods like nuts and seeds except in times of soft food scarcity and lacking wear patterns common with heavy folivore diets.Linear hypoplasia is common, which would suggest episodes of malnutrition stress during dental development, indicating the need for fall-back foods in the diet when preferred foods are unavailable.

Evidence suggests that the environment of Hispanopithecus on the Iberian Peninsula was tropical to subtropical with marsh-like features. Flora of the period is preserved as samples of evergreen laurels, palms, reeds, and marsh herbs in wet areas and diverse leguminous trees and shrubs in lowland dry areas. Figs have been preserved in the stratographic layer which also contained hominid teeth, which would have been available year-round in the Middle Miocene.Late Miocene to a cooler, dryer, less tropical environment. This would have brought seasonal change which would have impacted the available food sources of Hispanopithecus, possibly contributing to extinction near this time.

Hispano-Flemish style

Hispano-Flemish style is a term coined by the Spanish art historian Elías Tormo to designate works of art produced in Spain in a hybrid style that shows elements of Northern Renaissance artistic innovations together with elements of medieval Iberian artistic traditions, predominantly Mudéjar.

Artworks

Such works could be produced both by Flemish artists employed on projects in the Iberian peninsula, and by Iberian artists whose training or inspiration shows Northern influence. Particularly major works in this style were created in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, especially during the reign of Isabel I of Castile.tombs, funerary chapels, sculpture, choir stalls, stained glass, and panel paintings influenced by Early Netherlandish painting.

Artists

Artists in the Hispano-Flemish style include the painters Fernando Gallego, Bartolomé Bermejo, Pedro Berruguete and Juan de Flandes, the sculptor Gil de Siloe, and the architect Hannequin de Bruselas.

Hatsue Yuasa

Hatsue Yuasa (湯浅 初枝 Yuasa Hatsue, (22 June 1902soprano.

Life

Born in the Prefecture of Tokyo, Yuasa was the daughter of the Marine officer Yuasa TakejirōImperial Academy of Music in Tokyo from 1919 to 1923. Her teacher was the German-Norwegian musician Hanka Petzold. (1862-1937),Liszt, acknowledged Wagner interpreter and wife of the journalist Bruno PetzoldErnst Grenzebach and Adolf Philipsen in Berlin.

On 17 July 1926 Yuasa married the Berlin pianist Walther Carl Meiszner (real name: Meißner) whom she had met at her Berlin debutCharlottenburg; the marriage remained childless.

In Europe it was advertised that Yuasa was a soloist at the Imperial Opera in Tokyo.Madama Butterfly in the opera of the same name by Giacomo Puccini, for example in 1930 at the Lippischen Landestheater Detmold.Butterfly at the Salzburger Festspielhaus in a performance with the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg. In March 1936 she gave a guest performance in this role at the Hamburg State Opera.Bergen with the symphony orchestra there. She sang four opera arias (including the Butterfly aria Un bel dì, vedremo) and six songs, four of which were compositions by her compatriot Kōsaku Yamada. In the same year she gave 24 concerts in England.

The various concert critics expressed their amazement at the ability of a singer from Japan to interpret Western opera music, and often referred to the outward appearance of Yuasa. Thus the Wiener Salonblatt wrote in 1925

As we hear, the "Only Song Recital" of the Japanese singer Hatsue Yuasa is to be followed by a second one; but nevertheless it was a single pleasure to see and hear this charming, foreign human flower. [...] It was astonishing how this Japanese woman was able to empathize with the style of the Occident. We wished our female singers of the same age her accomplished singing, her breathed pianissimo and the moving expression in all shades of human feeling.


Hatsue Yuasa

In 1926, the journal Neue Zeitschrift für Musik praised the "kimono dressed graceful appearance" as well as the "perfect vocal artistry" of the singer.Linzer Tages-Post on the other hand, in 1928 was to be read:

A Pupperl. Such a genuine Japanese doll with sly eyes set apart, porcelain complexion [...], delicate limbs. It has a dense black pageboy's head and is - how cute - fluttered by clouds of rose-red European tulle. A charming miniature. As if to bring the geishap poetry to life. And then the little doll starts to sing, with erotic but droll loving lip movements and a velvety soft voice. Can you hear right? They are Italian arias in the original language, that flows like milk and honey. There she is, the real Madame Butterfly. It's the most loving and beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Among the fans of the "Japanese nightingale"Gerhart Hauptmann, who wrote her a letter of thanks after a concert.

Between 1932 and 1934, Yuasa appeared in four German films, including with the popular singer Helge Rosvaenge in the feature film Der Knallenffekt.

Burglary in English law

Burglary is a statutory offence in England and Wales.

In the three years to 2018 burglary reports in England and Wales rose by 6% while criminal charges for burglary fell by 33%. The number of police officers available to investigate burglary and other crimes also fell during that time.

Statute

The offence of burglary is now defined by section 9 of the Theft Act 1968 which now reads:

(1) A person is guilty of burglary if—

(a) he or she enters any building or part of a building as a trespasser and with intent to commit any such offence as is mentioned in subsection (2) below; or (b) having entered any building or part of a building as a trespasser he steals or attempts to steal anything in the building or that part of it or inflicts or attempts to inflict on any person therein any grievous bodily harm.

(2) The offences referred to in subsection (1)(a) above are offences of stealing anything in the building or part of a building in question, of inflicting on any person therein any grievous bodily harm ... therein, and of doing unlawful damage to the building or anything therein.

(3) A person guilty of burglary shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding—

(a) where the offence was committed in respect of a building or part of a building which is a dwelling, fourteen years; (b) in any other case, ten years.

(4) References in subsections (1) and (2) above to a building, and the reference in subsection (3) above to a building which is a dwelling, shall apply also to an inhabited vehicle or vessel, and shall apply to any such vehicle or vessel at times when the person having a habitation in it is not there as well as at times when he is.]

Burglary with intent to rape

Section 9(2) originally referred to the offence of raping any woman in the building or part of the building in question.Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. The words "or raping any person" were in turn repealedSexual Offences Act 2003.


Burglary in English law

Amendments to ss 9(3) & (4)

Sections 9(3) and (4) were substituted

Elements of the offence

"Enters"

Although physical evidence of entry is not normally difficult to obtain, it can be difficult on occasions to decide whether an entry has occurred in law. In R v Collins, it was held that entry had to be "substantial" and "effective". The issue arose in R v Brown (1985) 71 Cr App R 15 in which the defendant had been found on the pavement outside a shop with the top half of his body through the broken window, sorting through property on display for sale; this was held by the Court of Appeal to constitute an effective entry, while regarding the use of the word "substantial" as unnecessarily wide. It was ruled that the jury had been entitled to conclude that the entry had been effective. Furthermore, in R v Ryan (1996) 160 JP 610, the defendant had been found partially within a building, having been trapped by a window, and argued that this was not a sufficient entry. However, he was convicted as it was held that a partial entry was sufficient and that it was irrelevant that he was due to circumstances incapable of stealing anything.

"Building or part of a building"

The Theft Act 1968 does not define a building, so this must be a matter of fact for the jury, however, Section 9(4) specifically states that the term includes an "inhabited vehicle or vessel"; hence motor homes, caravans and houseboats are protected by the section even when temporarily unoccupied.till. The court held that he had entered that part of the building normally reserved for staff as a trespasser with intention to steal money and was therefore guilty of burglary.

"As a trespasser"

The essence of trespass is entering or remaining in another's property without authority; a person having permission to enter property for one purpose who in fact enters for another purpose may become a trespasser, and in R v Jones and Smith,

"With intent"


Burglary in English law

"With intent"

The intention to commit an offence (theft, grievous bodily harm or, for s9(1)(a), criminal damage), being an essential element of burglary, requires proof beyond reasonable doubt. For example, if entry is made to regain property which the defendant honestly believes he has a legal right to take, there is no intention to steal and the defendant is entitled to be acquitted. However, it has been held that a conditional intent to steal anything found to be of value is enough to satisfy this requirement.

Mens Rea

R v Collins is authority for the proposition that the defendant must at least be reckless as to whether his entry is a trespass. For the Section 9(1)(a) offence, proof beyond reasonable doubt is required that the defendant intended to commit the offence specified as part of the burglary. In the Section 9(1)(b) offence, the mens rea is that of the offence committed, such that, for example, if grievous bodily harm is inflicted, recklessness will be sufficient to establish liability.

Mode of trial

Subject to the following exceptions, the offence of burglary is triable either way.

Burglary comprising the commission of, or an intention to commit, an offence which is triable only on indictment, is triable only on indictment.

Burglary in a dwelling is triable only on indictment if any person in the dwelling was subjected to violence or the threat of violence.

Sentence

Maximum

Section 9(3) of the Theft Act 1968, as substituted by section 26(2) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991, provides that:

A person guilty of burglary shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding -

(a) where the offence was committed in respect of a building or part of a building which is a dwelling, fourteen years; (b) in any other case, ten years.

The reference in that section to a building which is a dwelling, applies also to an inhabited vehicle or vessel, and applies to any such vehicle or vessel at times when the person having a habitation in it is not there as well as at times when he is.


Burglary in English law

A person guilty of burglary is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or to a fine not exceeding the prescribed sum, or to both.

Minimum

Section 4 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 specified a minimum 3-year prison sentence for third-time domestic burglary unless exceptional circumstances applied.section 111 of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000.

Authorities

Higher courts have consistently upheld lengthy custodial sentences for burglaries of dwellings; see, for example R v Brewster 1998 1 Cr App R (S) 181

Aggravated burglary

Under section 10, aggravated burglary is committed when a burglar enters and "at the time has with him a firearm,

"Has with him"

In R v Kelt [1977] 65 Cr App R 74 it was held that this phrase will normally mean "carrying", and in R v Klass 162 JP 105,The Times, 17 December 1997 (CA) others had entered a building for criminal purposes while the defendant remained outside, but in possession of a scaffolding pole which had been used to break a window. This did not, in law, constitute an entry for the purposes of burglary. It was held that since Klass had not himself entered the building, he was guilty of burglary and not aggravated burglary.

"At the time"

  * In R v O'Leary 1986 82 Cr App R 337, the defendant entered a house unarmed but picked up a kitchen knife once inside; he then used it to force the occupier to hand over property. It was held that this constituted aggravated burglary because the offence which was part of the enterprise had been committed while in possession of the weapon.
  * In R v Kelly, 1992 The Times, 2 December, the defendant had used a screwdriver to gain entry; once inside the premises, he was confronted by the occupiers and used the screwdriver as a weapon to force them to hand over a video recorder. It was held that the screwdriver became an offensive weapon when he formed an intention to use it for causing injury to the occupier at the time of the theft, and therefore he was guilty of aggravated burglary.

Mens Rea

A plea that the defendant did not intend to use the weapon is not a defence to this charge (R v Stones [1989] 1 WLR 156).

Mode of trial and sentence

Aggravated burglary is an indictable-only offence.imprisonment for life or for any shorter term.

History

Sections 9 and 10 of the Theft Act 1968 replace sections 24 to 27 and 28(4) of the Larceny Act 1916.

Section 24 created the offence of sacrilege.

Section 25 created the offence of burglary.

Section 26 created an offence described by its marginal note as "housebreaking and committing felony" (it could be committed in respect of buildings other than dwelling-houses and at the time of its repeal it consisted of committing an arrestable offence).

Section 27 created an offence described by its marginal note as "housebreaking with intent to commit felony" (and see the words in parentheses above).

At the time of its repeal, section 28(4) created offence of being found by night in any building with intent to commit any arrestable offence (previously felony) therein.

Sections 51 and 52 of the Larceny Act 1861 related to burglary.

Cape Town TV

Cape Town TV (also known as CTV) is a community television channel that broadcasts in Cape Town, South Africa. It launched in September 2008 with a one-year, "temporary" license and thereafter won another such license in September 2009. It is a non-profit organisation that is licensed as a community broadcaster in terms of South Africa's Electronic Communications Act.

Signal transmission and reception

CTV is a free-to-air channel that broadcasts on an analogue transmission. The channel transmits from a single low-power transmitter located on Tygerberg hill, to the north of Cape Town. This site provides the widest possible coverage of the Cape Town metropolitan region, although it is only licensed (by ICASA) for low-power transmission. The channel is broadcast on the frequency 607.25 MHz (channel 38) on the UHF band.

Viewers can pick up the channel if they are in line-of-sight of Tygerberg mountain and their television aerials are oriented towards this site. Automatic or manual tuning of the television set should pick up the channel between the signals of SABC3 and eTV .

The signal will vary in strength depending on how far distant the viewer is from the Tygerberg site. In order for the channel to gain a stronger signal and increased coverage of the region, additional transmitters will be needed, some of which will be of a considerably higher power. However, each transmitter is licensed to transmit particular frequencies and there is at present a shortage of available frequency spectrum (in South Africa generally, but particularly in Cape Town). Not only will CTV require considerably more funding to acquire such transmitters, but ICASA will also have to license additional frequencies for the channel. This is unlikely to happen before frequency spectrum is 'freed up' by the migration from analogue to digital television transmission, which was scheduled to be completed in 2012.

History

Cape Town TV (known by the acronym CTV) was founded by community media activists in 2004, following the release of regulations governing the community television sector in South Africa by the broadcasting regulator, ICASA (Independent Communications Authority of South Africa). These activists formed the Cape Town Community Television Collective (CTCTC), which consisted of a grouping of organisations working in the field of community media.


Cape Town TV

The Collective engaged in a process of ongoing discussions aimed at creating a community television channel for Cape Town, based on principles of social development, democracy, justice and human rights. Consultations were held with other civil society organisations and the wider public, which resulted in the organisation being formally launched at its first annual general meeting (AGM) in September 2006. This was attended by over 100 representatives from civil society organisations in Cape Town.

The organisation first approached the national public service broadcaster, the SABC, for a programming 'window' which would be viewed only in the Western Cape region. This approach was rejected by the SABC and the organisation then decided to stage its own broadcast. Up to this time, the only community TV broadcasts which had been allowed in South Africa were temporary broadcasts of up to four weeks in duration, which were linked to "special event" licenses.

ICASA began issuing longer "temporary" licenses of up to one year in 2007, when it licensed Soweto TV in Johannesburg for a 12-month period in July of that year. Consequently, the CTCTC decided to also pursue a one-year license because this would provide a firmer foundation for a permanent community television channel. Application for such a license was made and this was granted by ICASA in July 2008, although the channel was only able to launch on 1 September 2008.

The channel began broadcasting with one hour of programming, which was repeated throughout the day for a two-week period. Thereafter programme hours were steadily increased until the channel was broadcasting 24 hours per day, although many programmes are repeated due to a shortage of available content. The channel does not have a budget for content acquisition, so all programmes are acquired free of charge from individuals, production houses, organisations and government agencies.

Operational Model

CTV's operational model is based on partnerships with various civil society organisations and tertiary education institutions. The channel is housed at AFDA, the South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance, located in the suburb of Observatory in Cape Town. AFDA provides CTV with office space, a Final Control Centre room located in the institution's television studio building, access to the production facilities of the television studio and student operators on production equipment. In return, CTV provides AFDA students with on-the-job training and experience in a real broadcast environment, broadcast of student productions and lectures by professional staff.


Cape Town TV

CTV also has relationships with other tertiary education institutions in the city, including the University of the Western Cape (UWC), the University of Cape Town (UCT), City Varsity and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). These institutions provide production facilities and student operators for certain television productions as well as their own student short films, PSA's (Public Service Advertisements) and documentaries.

The station is run by a non-profit organisation that has other NGOs as its members. The membership base includes organisations in the fields of labour, education, sport, arts & culture and other development-oriented community organisations. Membership is currently free of charge.

Programming

A news van owned by Cape Town TV outside the South African Parliament building.

CTV has a range of programming that includes content that is acquired from various sources (such as independent producers, community members, production houses, organisations, educational institutions and government agencies) and programmes that are produced either 'in-house' or by programme partners using studio facilities located at AFDA, UWC or UCT.

Programmes are mainly of a documentary nature, covering topics such as NGOs, health, spirituality, religion, human rights, democracy, environment and world affairs. The channel has made a name for itself by broadcasting programmes that would never be shown on conventional television stations. These include controversial issues such as 'conspiracy theories' (e.g. Illuminati, the 9-11 attacks, etc.), animal rights/anti-cruelty, UFOs, the Mayan Calendar and socialism.

Other content includes short films, music programmes, talk shows, actuality programmes and lectures. CTV produces a limited number of programmes 'in-house'; these are mainly studio-based talk shows that have included a current affairs show called Currents and a public access show called Open Studio where members of the public and some radio DJs can host their own talk shows. CTV now has an 'arts desk' which produces short videos on arts, cultural and sports events in the city. Some programmes, such as Currents and the arts desk have a training component, where young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are mentored in video production and video journalism skills.


Cape Town TV

Programme partners include the Community Media Trust (CMT) which produces the HIV/AIDS awareness show Siyayinqoba: Beat It! and Workers World Media Productions, which produces The Labour Show. Other local content providers produce shows including What's On in Cape Town (local events), Street Talk (topical issues) Talent in Action (amateur performers), Talk Dini and The Friday Sermon (Muslim religious issues). As of 2011, CTV broadcast Girls Talk TV, a US-based network of 4 cable TV shows geared towards the empowerment of young women.

CTV has done a number of live broadcasts from the AFDA studio. The first of these was the station's official launch party in April 2009, episodes of Siyayinqoba: Beat It! and a fundraising telethon with local entertainers and celebrities in September 2009.

CTV includes the Keiser Report, Breaking the Set with Abby Martin, Documentaries from RT and Al Jazeera (English) international news in its programming line-up. Al Jazeera is located in Doha and provides an alternative viewpoint on global events, with in-depth news and current affairs coverage. CTV re-broadcasts Al Jazeera live from 13H00-14H00 in the afternoons and from 20H00-21H00 in the evenings.

Challenges

CTV, like other community television stations in South Africa, faces a number of challenges. These include funding, availability of broadcast frequencies and the migration from analogue to digital broadcasting.

In October 2009 CTV was taken off air for ten days by the national signal provider, Sentech, due to cash flow difficulties that prevented it from maintaining payments for signal distribution. Consequently, the channel has embarked on a programme of action aimed at either reducing the fees charged by Sentech to community broadcasters, or incepting a government subsidy for these costs.


Cape Town TV

This programme of action resulted in a public march on Parliament in November 2009, where the station presented a list of demands to the South African government.
1. That CTV is not switched off when ICASA licenses a new cell phone TV operator next year but that a frequency is allocated to carry the channel.
2. The creation of an interim support fund for existing community TV stations, in addition to the speedy implementation of the Public Broadcasting Fund.
3. That Sentech provides CTV with a good quality signal and transmission for free or at a significantly reduced rate.
4. That community TV is protected during and after the migration to digital terrestrial television.

The process of migration from analogue to digital television broadcasting that is happening in South Africa poses a significant threat to the channel. The frequency that CTV has been allocated for broadcasting by ICASA has been earmarked for mobile broadcasting, i.e. digital broadcasting to cell phones. This means that when a mobile broadcaster is licensed (which is likely to happen in mid-2010), CTV will no longer have a frequency on which to broadcast.

Consequently, the channel is challenging ICASA to provide an alternative frequency; the alternative would be for the channel to migrate to a digital broadcasting multiplex, but since very few people in South Africa will have the necessary equipment to receive such a signal prior to the switch-off of all analogue television broadcasting (planned for 2012), it means that the station would lose its audience and hence would be unsustainable. ICASA has stated that it will address this issue when it finalises digital broadcasting regulations.


Cape Vera

Cape Vera is an uninhabited headland on Devon Island, in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. Protruding off the island's northwestern Colin Archer Peninsula, it faces Jones Sound. Often, a polynya forms in the Cardigan Strait, a waterway that separates the cape from North Kent Island.

Geography

Cape Vera, approximately 8 km (5 mi) in size, with an elevation up to 245 m (804 ft) above sea level, is characterized by open sea, coastal cliffs, grassy to bare-rock cliff ledges, scree, and boulders. The rocky, marine shore, of limestone formation, is approximately 300 ft (91 m) in width.

Fauna

The cape is notable as a Canadian Important Bird Area (#NU053), an International Biological Program site (Region 9, #2-11) and a Key Migratory Bird Terrestrial Habitat site. Notable bird species include the northern fulmar and common eider.Colonial seabirds are also attracted to this remote, High Arctic site.

History

Archeological sites have been found near the base of the cape.

The Canadian Coalition Against the Death Penalty (CCADP) is a not-for-profit organization which was co-founded by Tracy Lamourie and Dave Parkinson of the Greater Toronto Area. The couple formed the CCADP to speak out against the use of capital punishment around the world, to educate and encourage fellow Canadians to resist the occasional calls for a renewal of the death penalty within their own countrydeath row inmates and their supporters could post their stories and seek contact with the outside world.

Since its creation in 1998, the CCADP has been involved in speaking with policy makers and media from around the world on the issue of capital punishment

History

Origins

Tracy Lamourie and Dave Parkinson formed the CCADP in May 1998 after researching the death penalty in the US as well as the conditions of some of the country's prisons. Already long time human rights activists, Lamourie and Parkinson were especially inspired to form the coalition after learning of the plight of death row inmate Jimmy Dennis.Canadian citizen Stan Faulder, who was convicted of murder and was awaiting execution in the state of Texas.

We searched for a group in Canada fighting against the continued use of the death penalty in the USA. We felt that it was shameful that there was no active group in Canada giving a strong voice against the death penalty, and that since Canada and the US have such close relationship, our silence, especially in light of strong European initiatives against the death penalty in the US, was allowing Canada to collude with the US in state murder.

— Tracy Lamourie, Greenwich Village Gazette, December 17, 1999

Campaign for Jimmy Dennis

Jimmy Dennis, a citizen of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1991 shooting of 17-year-old Chedell Williams.

The CCADP, along with other advocates around the world, have rallied around Dennis's cause. After having studied the evidence in the case against Dennis, his supporters believe that he has been wrongly accused of this crime, much of which has been outlined on a website created to promote his cause.


Criticisms of his conviction include discrepancies between eye-witness accounts and Dennis's physical appearance, the fact that the witnesses were not shown a photo line-up until several days after the crime took place, a witness against Dennis who has since recanted his testimony and that the angle of the bullet wound which suggested that the murderer was as tall as or taller than the victim (Chedell Williams was 5'10"; Jimmy Dennis is 5'4"). Dennis's supporters also point out that he lacked a motive for robbery and murder, given that he was looking forward to the birth of his daughter and was a member of an up-and-coming musical group called Sensation.

Stories about Jimmy Dennis's situation have appeared in media around the world, as well as on websites in several different languages.

Campaign for Stan Faulder

In 1977 Stan Faulder, a Canadian citizen, was convicted in the state of Texas for the beating and stabbing death of 75-year-old Inez Phillips. Faulder never denied his involvement in the crime, but his supporters argued that his rights were violated because he was never informed by state officials that he was allowed to contact Canadian consular officials. Also contrary to international law, the Canadian government had not been advised that the Canadian citizen had been sentenced to death.

The CCADP made headlines in 1998 after proposing a tourist boycott of Texas in reaction to Faulder's pending execution.Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, Canadian Liberal foreign affairs minister Lloyd Axworthy and US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who asked then Texas Governor George W. Bush to grant a 30-day reprieve and a full clemency review of Faulder's case.

In reaction to this call-to-action, Bush was quoted by the Associated Press as saying "No one is going to threaten the governor of the state of Texas."

CCADP website

Along with the creation of the CCADP came the launch of their website. The site not only addresses the issues of capital punishment but also provides a space where death-row inmates and their supporters can post their stories as well as personalised items such as photos, artwork and poetry. Their site also assists inmates to remain in touch with friends and family who may not be able to accept collect telephone calls and by supplying them with stamps for written correspondence. Prisoners can also solicit for pen pals.

As of 2005 the site had hosted over 500 death row inmate pages.

Criticisms

The coalition has received criticisms from grieving victims and their families as well as other death-penalty proponents who do not agree with giving assistance to those convicted of crimes worthy of the death penalty. Some of these critics include:

  * Ted Hires, founder of the Justice Coalition, a victims' right group in Jacksonville, Florida, once stated that the existence of websites such as ccadp.org "inflicts cruel and unusual punishment on the victims' families."
  * East Baton Rouge Assistant District Attorney John Sinquefield, who has prosecuted death penalty cases stated that he believed that the creators of ccadp.org were "just misguided individuals," and that they were "intervening in something that's not really their business." Sinquefield added: "I think they should stay in Canada. I'm sure there's plenty of criminals up there to keep them busy."
  * Anthony Nunnciato of Laurel Lake, New Jersey, was quoted as saying "It's amazing that these people want to give these free Web pages to convicted murderers… I wonder if they'd feel the same way if it was their wife or their mother who had their brains blown out." Nunnciato's brother, Wilmington gun shop owner Thomas Smith, was shot to death by in a 1996 robbery.


In 2005 the CCADP website was once again in the news when it was reported that the coalition had posted a web site for convicted killer Scott Peterson. During August of that year, both Lamourie and Parkinson were busy making appearances on various television and radio programmes across North America, including Catherine Crier Live on Court TV, The Abrams Report on MSNBC, and The BIG Story and Fox News Live on the Fox News Channel.

In various interviews, Lamourie and Parkinson have stated that the CCADP "doesn't concern itself with questions of guilt or innocence, only the humane treatment of people."

The CCADP co-founders have also stated in interviews that they understand the grief that their site might cause for victims as well as their friends and family, and that inmates who have pages posted on their site may very well be guilty of the crimes for which they were imprisoned;Associated Press as saying that she was "sorry for any added stress or pain (ccadp.org) causes victims."

Overturning of Arizona House Bill 2376

In December 2002, with the assistance of the ACLU, the CCADP was successful in overturning legislation that prevented prisoners in Arizona from using a third party to post information on the internet about their cases on the basis that such a law infringed on the prisoners’ First Amendment rights.

"They're sentenced to death, they're not sentenced to silence," said CCADP co-founder Tracy Lamourie.

Canadian Comedy Awards

"Beaver Award" redirects here. Not to be confused with Silver Beaver Award.

The Canadian Comedy Awards (CCA) is an annual ceremony that awards the BeaverCanadian comedy in live performance, radio, film, television, and Internet media. The awards were founded and produced by Tim Progosh in 2000.

The CCA have been held in different cities, most often in Toronto and London, Ontario. Between 2003 and 2015, the awards were held as part of the Canadian Comedy Awards Festival, with showcase performances by nominees and other comedic talent. The Comedy Network broadcast the first two award ceremonies and several specials of festival performances. These broadcasts have earned two Gemini Award nominations.

The awards are artist-driven with a mandate "To recognize, celebrate and promote Canadian achievements in comedy at home and abroad." They are run through a non-profit organization and volunteer committees, drawing membership from the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA), the Canadian Actors' Equity Association (CAEA), the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC), the Writers Guild of Canada (WGC), and the Comedy Association. Some awards are determined by industry members while others are open to public voting.

History

Actor, director and producer Tim Progosh founded the Canadian Comedy Awards (CCA) after touring for over 20 years in sketch, improv and stand-up comedy. He felt that there was a distance between stand-up comedians and other comedic artists, and that stand-up and comedy as a whole wasn't receiving adequate national recognition. With the establishment of The Comedy Network in late 1997,

Progosh brought together an advisory board which included himself, Mark Breslin of Yuk Yuk's comedy clubs, Andrew Alexander of The Second City, Sydd Capp, and representatives from the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA), the Canadian Actors' Equity Association (CAEA), the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) and the Writers Guild of Canada (WGC). Award categories were created for live comedy, film and television, with the mandate "To recognize, celebrate and promote Canadian achievements in comedy at home and abroad."


Canadian Comedy Awards

Philanthropist Bluma Appel helped to establish the awards, and supported a bursary for emerging comics. Breslin noted that it was the first time "that anyone from the Canadian establishment took comedy seriously."Masonic Temple.

In 2003, non-profit organization the Canadian Comedy Foundation for Excellence (CCFE) was incorporated to organize and promote the awards,London, Ontario. The CCFE also organized the Canadian Comedy Awards Festival (CCAF), with showcase performances by the nominees in sketch, stand-up and improvisational comedy, workshops, seminars and special events leading up to the awards gala. As the festival grew during the following years, The Comedy Network began broadcasting Best of the Fest variety specials.

Following sponsorship, the CCFA moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, in 2008 and Saint John, New Brunswick, in 2009. The awards then returned to Toronto, which could more easily accommodate the festival which then had 38 shows over five days.Ottawa and had its first francophone presence at the festival.

In 2015, the license for the awards expired and control of the Canadian Comedy Awards reverted to the trademark holder, Funny Business, Inc. During this same period, Progosh and the CCFE decided to focus on creating a home for the Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame. – Best Live Production and Best Live Ensemble – were added to compensate for the lack of industry categories.

Governing body

Until 2015, the CCA were organized by the Canadian Comedy Foundation for Excellence (CCFE), a non-profit corporation registered in 2003. Its volunteer committees sought input from comedy professionals on all aspects of the awards: criteria, marketing, programming and communications.

The Nominations and Awards Committee oversaw the nomination process, category criteria, jury committees, voting procedures, trophies and prizes. The Programming Committee developed programs and organized talent for various events, the awards gala, and community events.
