Musicogenic epilepsy

Musicogenic epilepsy is a form of reflex epilepsy with seizures elicited by special stimuli.

It has probably been described for the first time in 1605 by the French philosopher and scholar Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540-1609).William Richard Gowers,Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev.Macdonald Critchley coined the term for the first time

Most patients have temporal lobe epilepsy.focal seizures with or without loss of awareness, occasionally also evolving to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures.

Although musicality is at least in non-musicians predominantly located in the right temporal lobe, the seizure onset may also be left-hemispherical. Of the approximately 100 patients reported in the literature so far, about 75% had temporal lobe epilepsy, women were slightly more affected, and the mean age of onset was about 28 years.SPECT findings

Erfjord

Erfjord is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 132-square-kilometre (51 sq mi) municipality existed from 1914 until 1965. It encompassed the area around the Erfjorden in the southwestern part of the present-day municipality of Suldal. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Hålandsosen, where the Erfjord Church is located.

History

The municipality of Erfjord was created on 1 January 1914, when the municipality of Jelsa was split in two: the western part remained as Jelsa, and the eastern part became Erfjord. Initially, Erfjord had 617 inhabitants. On 1 January 1965, a major municipal consolidation took place due to the recommendations of the Schei Committee. Erfjord municipality ceased to exist and it was merged with the municipalities of Sand and Suldal as well as part of the municipalities of Jelsa and Imsland to form the new (much larger) municipality of Suldal. At the time of its dissolution, Erfjord had 610 residents.

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Erfjord farm (Old Norse: Elrifjǫrðr or Æðrafjǫrðr) since the first Erfjord Church was built there. The meaning of the first element of the name is uncertain, but there are two strong possibilities. The first possibility is that it comes from the word elri which means "alder", a type of common tree in the area (the more modern local name is ør which sounds a lot like Er-). The other main possibility is that it comes from the word æðr which means "eider", a local type of waterfowl. The last element is fjǫrðr which means "fjord".

Government

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.

Repas de bébé

Repas de bébé (also known as Le Repas de bébé, Le Repas (de bébé), Le Déjeuner de bébé, Baby’s First Meal, Baby’s Breakfast, Baby’s Lunch, Baby's Dinner, Baby's Tea Time, The Family Breakfast, A Baby's Meal, Feeding the Baby, and Feeding Baby) is a 1895 French short black-and-white silent actuality film photographed by Louis Lumière and showing his brother Auguste Lumière and Auguste's wife Marguerite feeding their infant daughter, Andrée Lumière.

One of the earliest recordings made by the brothers Lumière, Le Repas de bébé (catalogued as Vue no. 88) is an unedited, single take of less than a minute's duration. The company's catalog described it as "Un papa fait avaler son déjeuner à un bébé" (a father feeds lunch [or breakfast] to a baby) and records that the scene was taken between March 22 and June 10, 1895.

The film formed part of the first commercial presentation of the Lumière Cinématographe on December 28, 1895, at the Salon Indien, Grand Café, 14 Boulevard des Capucines, Paris.

Production

As with all Lumière movies (1895 to 1905), this film was made in a 35 mm format with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1. Louis Lumière photographed the family trio using the newly-invented Cinématographe, a square box-like camera, which also served as a film projector and developer. The company's films had distinctive rounded corners, usually cropped out of video and still-image reproductions.

Synopsis

Repas de bébé (1895)

Auguste Lumière, his wife Marguerite, and their daughter Andrée sit at a dining table in the garden outside a house. The scene connotes the culture of a bourgeois family, with a silver tea service, a bottle of cognac, and fine clothing. Papa twice spoon-feeds their baby while Mama prepares and drinks a cup of tea. Both dote on the child and talk to her throughout. He then gives the infant a biscuit (cookie), which she seemingly offers to someone off-camera. The film ends as Auguste offers bébé a third spoonful.

Current status

According to Archives françaises du film documentation of 2004: "Pecuniary rights are owned until 2039 by the Association Frères Lumière. Non-pecuniary rights are held by the Lumière estate." Repas de bébé and all other surviving Lumière films are housed and preserved at France's Centre national de la cinématographie (CNC).

The film was seen widely in Lumière Cinématographe shows around the world in 1896 and after. Repas de bébé has been included in a number of film, videotape, DVD, and Blu-Ray compilations including The Lumière Brothers' First Films (1996), Landmarks of Early Film volume 1 (1997), and The Movies Begin: A Treasury of Early Cinema, 1894–1913 (2002). It also forms part of the documentary Visions of Light (1992) and Ann Hu's Chinese feature film Shadow Magic (2000).Lumière! Le Cinématographe 1895-1905. These digital renderings were 4K scans of the best available 35mm film copies (two negatives and three positive prints in the CNC's Archives françaises du film.

Legacy

The footage of the Lumière baby being fed has become an icon of early cinema. Resembling what would later be called a "home movie," it nevertheless made a memorable impression on its first audiences.


Repas de bébé

In July 1896, Russian writer Maxim Gorky saw a Cinématographe program outside of Moscow and published an account that mentioned the film. Translated into English, Gorky's text ("Last night I was in the Kingdom of Shadows") refers to the film as The Family Breakfast. He describes it as ". . . an idyll of three. A young couple with its chubby first-born is seated at the breakfast table. The two are so much in love, and are so charming, gay and happy, and the baby is so amusing. The picture creates a fine, felicitous impression."

Many historical and scholarly sources have described how some observers said they were captivated by the leaves on the trees moving in the wind. Pioneer filmmaker Georges Méliès told G.-Michel Coissac – author of Histoire du cinematographe (1925) – that he was at the first Paris screening in 1895, at which he and others were struck by the sensation of seeing the trees swaying in the wind. Gorky too said this in his 1896 article.

In 2005, the UNESCO Memory of the World Register added the entry "Lumière Films," specifying this as a collection of all 1,405 extant works. By 1996, the CNC had preserved all of the original nitrate material on polyester safety film.

Liu Wenlong

In this Chinese name, the family name is Liu.

Liu Wenlong (Chinese: 劉文龍; pinyin: Liú Wénlóng; Wade–Giles: Liu Wen-lung; 1871–1950) was a Chinese public official who held the post of Civil Governor of Sinkiang from April to September 1933, and previously served as the region's commissioner for education.

Biography

Liu was born in Yueyang, Hunan in 1871. From 1904 to 1907 he served as the Tarbagatay prefect. He was then appointed the prefect of Ürümqi, where he served between 1907 and 1910. After that, he served as the prefect of Yarkant. The same year he was accused of corruption.

Liu served as a commissioner for education under Governor Jin Shuren.Kumul Rebellion fully escalated, Liu, along with Yen Yu-Shan, the commissioner for reconstruction, advised Jin the policy of conciliation. However, Jin, overestimating his military power, ordered his troops to deal with the rebelling Muslims.

In December 1932, Ma Zhongying's forces started the sieg of Ürümqi, but the White Russians and Sheng Shicai's troops successfully defended the city. In March 1933, the Manchurian Salvation Army, part of the National Revolutionary Army (NRA), came to their aid through the Soviet territory. During these events, Jin's prestige declined and correspondingly Sheng became increasingly popular. The culmination was the coup staged by the White Russians

Without conferring the Central government, the coup leaders appointed Sheng the Commissioner of the Sinkiang Border Defence,duban on 14 April 1933,

Without clearly stating whether it recognises the changes in Sinkiang, the government appointed Huang Musong, then a Deputy Chief of General Staff, a "pacification commissioner" in May 1933. He arrived in Ürümqi on 10 June.duban, and that Huang's visit would affect that decision. Huang was ignorant of the frontier problems and his arrogant behavior offended some of the provincial leaders. The rumors spread that Huang was already named a new governor or that Chiang Kai-Shek decided to split Sinkiang into several smaller provinces.Wang Jingwei had plotted with Liu, Zhang and Ma to overthrow the provincial government.


Liu Wenlong

Shortly afterward, in August Chiang sent Foreign Minister Luo Wengan, as a sign of goodwill, to preside over Sheng's inauguration ceremony as a Commissioner of the Sinkiang Border Defence. However, at the same time, the Central government used Luo's visit to contact two of Sheng's rivals, Ma in Turpan and Zhang in Yining. They were encouraged to launch an attack against Sheng. As soon as Luo left the province, a war broke out between Sheng on one side, and Ma and Zhang on the other. Sheng accused Luo not only of plotting but also of an assassination attempt.

In September 1933,Zhu Ruichi, a more controllable official.

Maṅgala Sutta

The Maṅgala Sutta is a discourse (Pali: sutta) of Gautama Buddha on the subject of 'blessings' (mangala, also translated as 'good omen' or 'auspices' or 'good fortune').

This discourse is recorded in Theravada Buddhism's Pali Canon's Khuddaka Nikaya in two places: in the Khuddakapāṭha (Khp 5), and in the Sutta Nipāta (Sn 2.4).Mahāmangala Sutta. It is also traditionally included in books of 'protection' (paritta). It is also found in the Tibetan Canon, in the Kangyur (བཀའ་འགྱུར།).

Content

The discourse was preached at Jetavana Temple in answer to a question asked by a deva as to which things in this world could truly be considered blessings (mangalāni). The sutta describes thirty-eight blessings in ten sections,

Gp.1   Not associating with fools         Associating with the wise                            Expressing respect to those worthy of respect
Gp.2   Living in an amenable location     Having meritorious deeds (Good Karma) in one's past  Setting oneself up properly in life

Gp.4   support father & mother            Cherishing one's children                            Cherishing one's spouse                        Peaceful occupations
Gp.5   Generosity                         Dhamma practice                                      Caring for extended family                     Blameless actions
Gp.6   Avoiding unwholesomeness           Not drinking intoxicants                             Non-recklessness in the Dhamma
Gp.7   Respect                            Humility                                             Contentment                                    Gratitude                         Listening regularly to Dhamma teachings
Gp.8   Patience                           Be easily admonished                                 Sight of a True Monk                           Regular discussion of the Dhamma
Gp.9   Practising Austerities             Practising the Brahma-faring                         Seeing the Four Noble Truths                   Attainment of Nirvana
Gp.10  Mind free of Worldly Vicissitudes  Sorrowlessness                                       Free of Subtle Defilements                     Blissful Mind

Traditional context

The post-canonical Pali CommentaryJambudvipa regarding the definition of blessings. The devas heard the discussion and argued among themselves till the matter spread to the highest Brahmā world. Then it was that Sakka suggested that a deva should visit the Buddha and ask him about it.


Maṅgala Sutta

This sutta is one of the suttas at the preaching of which countless devas were present and countless beings realized the Truth.

Uses

The sutta is often recited, and forms one of the commonest pieces of chanting used for the Paritta. To have it written down in a book is considered an act of great merit.

History

King Dutugemnu of Anuradhapura preached the Mangala Sutta at the Lohapasada.

The preaching of the Mangala Sutta was one of the incidents of the Buddha's life represented in the Relic Chamber of the Ruwanwelisaya.

Musicorba

Musicorba, the piano duo formed by Ricardo Vieira and Tomohiro Hatta, is one of the most important piano duos in the world (in Jornal de Noticias, 2012).

In 2010, as part of the celebrations of the Treaty of Friendship, Peace and Commerce between Portugal and Japan, the pianists Ricardo Vieira (Portuguese) and Tomohiro Hatta (Japanese) joined on stage at the invitation of the respective embassies in Japan, France and Portugal. The massive adhesion on various concerts, and the warm applause of the audience, made the pianists continue to share the stage together. The duo decided to form Musicorba.

Besides the classical repertoire, the duo promotes contemporary music and the music of the countries of origin. Recent reviews of the international press, the unconditional and hearty public confirmed the duo's prominence in the international music scene (in Jornal Grande Porto, 2011).

James Hartley Ashworth

Ashworth in 1931.

James Hartley Ashworth FRS FRSE DSc SZS (2 May 1874 – 4 February 1936) was a British marine zoologist.

Life

See

He was born on 2, May 1874, in Accrington in Lancashire, the only son of James Ashworth.

He spent most of his early life in Burnley, attending the Carlton Road School there. He appears to have befriended Dr James MacKenzie during his youth, due to MacKenzie's role as the family GP, and his interest in science was awakened. MacKenzie appears to have had a mentoring role during his teenage years. Ashworth was encouraged to train, and went to Manchester to study chemistry at Owen's College. Here he quickly found a new interest and changed to study zoology. He then moved to London University where he received a BSc with Honours in Zoology and Botany in 1895. In 1899 he received a Doctorate in the same subject.

He obtained a post in Naples in Italy where his interests began to focus upon marine biology. In 1901 he became a lecturer in invertebrate zoology at the University of Edinburgh. In 1905, under his own guidance, the university began a course training for a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Ashworth created the elements focussing upon entomology and parasitology. The course was extended to provide Diplomas in both Public Health and Tropical Veterinary Medicine.

In 1909, he was awarded a new chair of Professor of Invertebrate Zoology while Professor James Cossar Ewart continued as the Professor of Vertebrate Zoology. When Ewart retired in 1927 Ashworth succeeded him taking over the overarching chair of Professor of Natural History.

With financial help from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1929 he established a major new building on the university's Kings Buildings campus, thereafter known as the Ashworth Laboratories.

He died at home on Grange Loan in Edinburgh on 4 February 1936, aged 61.

It has a short, convex head with a rounded snout; the ear-opening is very small and rounded. Its rostral scale is very low and is about four times as broad as high, without a median cleft. Scales on the throat are minute and granular, whereas abdominal scales are flat, roundish, juxtaposed, and a little smaller than the dorsal tubercles. The gibber gecko's tail is cylindrical and tapering, with rings of scales that are convex above and flat and subquadrangular beneath. The male of the species has three or four blunt spines on each side of the base of the tail.

Habitat

The gibber gecko is terrestrial, hiding in ground litter, holes and ground crevices during the day, and emerging at night to forage in open areas. It is found in a wide range of habitats from mallee and open woodland to saltbush and sandy desert.

Geographic range

The gibber gecko is found in central New South Wales and its southern interior, the eastern half of South Australia, and extending into adjacent border regions of Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Kněževes (Rakovník District)

Kněževes is a market town in Rakovník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,000 inhabitants.

Geography

Kněževes is located about 8 km (5 mi) northwest of Rakovník and 50 km (31 mi) west of Prague. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Rakovník Uplands. The highest point is at 429 m (1,407 ft) above sea level.

History

The first written mention of Kněževes is from 1327, in a deed of King John of Bohemia for the Teplá Abbey. The village was located on a trade route from Prague to Cheb. In 1685, the Waldstein family purchased Kněževes from the royal chamber. After Jan Josef Waldstein died in 1733, the village was inherited by his daughter Marie Anna, who married Josef Wilhelm, Count of Fürstenberg. The Fürstenberg family then owned Kněževes until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850.

Kněževes was predominantly an agricultural village. In the second half of the 19th century, it became known as the second most important hop growing locality in the country (after Žatec). In 1897, Kněževes was promoted to a market town by Emperor Franz Joseph I.

Economy

Kněževes lies in the Žatec Hop Region. The hop growing continues here to this day.

Transport

The I/6 road, part of the European route E48, passes through the municipality. It replaces the unfinished section of the D6 motorway from Prague to Karlovy Vary.

Sights

The main landmark of Kněževes is the Church of Saint James the Great. The original church was first mentioned in 1318. After it was destroyed by fire in 1718, it was replaced by the current Baroque building in 1721, designed by the architect František Maxmilián Kaňka.

Lucasium stenodactylum

Lucasium stenodactylum (previously known as Diplodactylus stenodactylus), also known as the crowned gecko or pale-snouted ground gecko, is a species of gecko from Australia.

Description

The colour of Lucasium stenodactylum varies from reddish brown to brown. The length of most individuals is approximately 90 mm (3.5 in). Body patterns also vary, although the species is typically found with a cream or white vertebral stripe. The stripe starts at each eye and joins at the back of the neck into a single vertebral stripe.

Distribution and habitat

L. stenodactylum is distributed in four separate locations in New South Wales, Australia: Sturt National Park, Mutawintji National Park and Thurloo Downs.L. stenodactylum is not well known. In NSW, the species has been reported to be found in red and sandy soil habitats, as well as savannah woodlands and shrubby stony areas.

Behaviour and ecology

The species is nocturnal and forages on insects.

Taxonomy


Lucasium stenodactylum

Taxonomy

To date there are three well-defined lineages (families) of geckos, the gekkonine geckos, diplodactyline geckos and pygopod legless lizards. However, the taxonomy of geckos and their families have recently been frequently revised.Lucasium stenodactylum was described under the name of Diplodactylus stenodactylus as early as 1896 by Boulenger in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History.Diplodactylus Steindachneri, Blgr., and Cremodactylus damoeus, Lucas and Frost...”.Diplodactylus had been underestimated by a factor of two.Lucasium Wermuth was originally described by Kluge in 1965.Lucasium Wermuth 1965, was mostly included in genus Diplodactylus Doughty and Hutchinson (2008).Diplodactylus stenodactylus species group, that included D. alboguttatus, D. damaeus, D. maini, and D. squarrosus, D. stenodactylus, as well as numerous other groups. Analysis of the moleculary phylogeny results revealed "a deep and ancient phylogenetic split" within D. stenodactylus distinguishing populations in Pilbara regions from non-Pilbara populations.Lucasium to include D. byrnei, D. steindachneri and the stenodactylus groups.

Conservation status

In New South Wales L. stenodactylum is classified as a vulnerable species according to the New South Wales Threatened Species Act 1995.L. stenodacytlum also has a conservation status of ‘least concern’ within the Northern Territory.L. stenodacyltum include grazing from introduced animals and predation by foxes and cats. Also, the risk of extinction due to genetic effects and chance events (e.g. drought and fire) increases if populations become fragmented.
