Rich Pilon

Richard Brian Pilon (born April 30, 1968) is a Canadian former ice hockey player of Métis heritage.1986 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders. Playing as a defenceman, Pilon played for the Islanders, New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues during his 15-year NHL career. He is the former coach of the Weyburn Red Wings of The SJHL.

Playing career

Pilon was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He made his debut in the 1988–89 season, playing 62 games, recording 14 assists and 242 penalty minutes for the New York Islanders as a left shooting defenseman. He would play 10 seasons for the Islanders before being put on waivers by the team. He was then picked up on December 1, 1999, by the New York Rangers. Due to injury, he played parts of two seasons for the Rangers, before he was traded to the San Jose Sharks for a seventh round draft pick, days before he became an unrestricted free agent in 2001. He was then signed by the St. Louis Blues on July 10, 2001. He played eight games for the Blues before he suffered a broken left wrist in a game against the Rangers that subsequently ended his NHL career.

The Kevin Stevens incident

On May 14, 1993, game seven of the Patrick Division finals between the New York Islanders and the favored defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins saw not only one of the greatest upsets in NHL playoff history (with Islanders' overtime goal by David Volek), but one of the worst freak accidents to ever occur on the ice.

Early in the first period, the puck went into the Islanders' corner. The Penguins' star power forward, Kevin Stevens, skated in hard and attempted to hit Pilon who was battling for the puck, but instead was met by Pilon's visor which knocked Stevens unconscious in mid-air. The unprotected fall left Stevens to smash his face on the ice upon impact.

PPG Paints Arena statue

Pilon and Jeff Norton are depicted as the two defenders Mario Lemieux skates between in a 4,700-pound bronze statue unveiled on March 7, 2012, at PPG Paints Arena (then called Consol Energy Center) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

University of the Middle East Project

University of the Middle East Project (UME) is an independent non-governmental organization whose people-to-people exchange programs bring together secondary school educators from across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and the United States with the aim of enhancing pedagogical skills and encouraging cross-cultural dialogue and understanding. In the United States, UME is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, registered as The Center for Higher Education in the Middle East, Inc.

History

The University of the Middle East Project was founded in 1997 by a group of graduate students from the Middle East and North Africa who were studying at universities around Boston, including MIT, Harvard Kennedy School, Boston College, and The Fletcher School at Tufts. Initially, the group's goal was to build a physical campus in the Middle East which would welcome students from all across the region. However, the strategic focus in more recent years has been on cultivating excellence among teachers and in MENA school systems.

Programs

Teacher Education Institute

The flagship program of UME, the Teacher Education Institute (TEI) is an intensive month-long professional development and cultural exchange course that takes place annually during the summer. TEI participants are secondary school educators from the MENA region. The program curriculum focuses on innovative teaching methodologies, including the use of technology in classrooms, conflict and cooperation in schools, cross-cultural education, civic education, and service learning.

Civic Engagement Workshop

The Civic Engagement Workshop (CEW) is a week-long follow-on program for the TEI which unites alumni from one MENA country with American high school teachers. The workshop furthers the professional development of both MENA-region and US teachers, and promotes regional and international collaboration on projects, events and teaching strategies. The CEW also serves a crucial role as a forum for TEI alumni to develop inclusive, community-oriented after-school activities for their students. UME ran CEWs in Morocco in 2006 and Jordan in 2007.

Collaborative Art Initiative


University of the Middle East Project

Collaborative Art Initiative

The Collaborative Art Initiative (CAI) is a three-phase educational and cultural exchange program which will take place during 2008 and 2009 in the U.S., Jordan, and Morocco. The CAI will bring together teachers, youth leaders, and young people in the spirit of artistic expression to create sacred public spaces where mindful interaction, open dialogue, and collaboration become possible and tangible. The CAI is based on the principles of Professor Mark Cooper's book, Making Art Together.

Seminar on Identity and Education

UME ran the Seminar on Identity and Education Across the Mediterranean (IDEAmed) seminar in Sevilla, Spain in 2006. The program convened a group of secondary school teachers from across the Mediterranean region to explore and deepen their understanding of identity and its relation to school culture, classroom practice, pedagogy and curriculum. In addition to attending presentations and workshops, each participant developed an educational activity for their students touching on issues such as class, religion, gender, and ethnic and cultural narratives.

Education Leadership Institute

UME held the Education Leadership Initiative (ELI) in 2004 in Toledo, Spain. The ELI focused on the systemic challenges in K-12 education in the Middle East and North Africa. The two-week program brought together a select group of alumni of the 1999-2004 Teacher Education Institutes (TEI) to collectively learn to tap the potential of organized, collective action and negotiation techniques, and to facilitate region-wide systemic changes in K-12 education.

Institute in Governance, Public Policy, and Civil Society

Institutes in Governance, Public Policy, and Civil Society (IGPC) have taken place in Spain in 2002 and 2003. Goals for the IGPC included gaining a better understanding of the role of civil society in promoting good governance and creating a network to nurture and sustain the relationships between the participants of the Institute and strengthen cooperation among their organizations and institutions.

Institute in Sustainable Development Policies


University of the Middle East Project

Institute in Sustainable Development Policies

The Institute for Sustainable Development (ISD), which UME held in Casablanca, Morocco in 2000, was an interdisciplinary program designed to address the economics and politics of sustainable development at the local, national, regional, and global levels in the Middle East and North Africa. Taught by leading academics from institutions in the United States, Europe, and the MENA region, the ISD explored the most pressing sustainability issues facing the MENA region, including water management, renewable energy, industrial ecology, and sustainable agriculture.

Russian frigate Diana

For other ships with the same name, see Diana (ship).

Diana was a frigate of the Imperial Russian Navy. She was built in 1853, and was the flagship of the Russian explorer Yevfimy Putyatin when he visited Japan in 1854 to negotiate what would become the Treaty of Shimoda.

Putyatin's fleet was damaged in a tsunami, following the powerful Ansei-Tōkai earthquake of 23 December 1854. Diana was spun round 42 times on its mooringsMiyajima-mura (宮島村) (Now an area of Fuji), while sailing from Shimoda to Heda for repairs.

Three hundred Japanese carpenters worked with the Russian sailors to build a Western-style ship in two months, with the help of plans salvaged from Diana. They eventually built a two-masted schooner, named Heda, displacing 100 tons, with a length of 24 metres (79 ft).Heda to help develop a maritime fleet comparable to those of western powers.

Senecio pinnatifolius

Senecio pinnatifolius is a species of herb native to Australia. Common names include coast groundsel, dune groundsel and variable groundsel.

Description

It grows as an erect herb up to a metre in height, with yellow flowers.

Taxonomy

The name Senecio pinnatifolius was first published by Achille Richard in 1834, but it was not immediately taken up. Instead, the species was long treated as the Australian component of S. lautus. In 1969, the Australian members of S. lautus were recognised as a distinct species, and the name S. pinnatifolius was reinstated.

The infraspecific taxonomy of the species is complicated and in a state of flux. A number of subspecies and varieties have been published, but these have long been recognised as not accurately reflecting variation within the species. In 2004 a thorough study of the species found ten variants, but did not publish names for them because further nomenclatural work was required for this.

  * S. pinnatifolius var. alpinus (Highland groundsel)
  * S. pinnatifolius var. capillifolius (Fineleaf coast groundsel)
  * S. pinnatifolius var. lanceolatus (Lanceleaf coast groundsel)
  * S. pinnatifolius var. latilobus
  * S. pinnatifolius var. laucocarpus
  * S. pinnatifolius var. maritimus (Western coast groundsel)
  * S. pinnatifolius var. pinnatifolius (Common coast groundsel)
  * S. pinnatifolius var. serratus

Wilfred Agbonavbare

Wilfred Agbonavbare (5 October 1966 – 27 January 2015) was a Nigerian professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

He spent the better part of his professional career with Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, appearing in 189 competitive matches over six seasons (three in La Liga).

Club career

In his country, Lagos-born Agbonavbare played for New Nigeria Bank F.C. and BCC Lions FC. In 1990, he moved to Spain where he would spend the rest of his career, starting with Rayo Vallecano in Segunda División.

In his second season with the Madrid outskirts club, Agbonavbare appeared in all 38 league games (3,332 minutes of action, 27 goals conceded, second-best in the competition) as the team finished second and returned to La Liga after two years of absence. He continued to be first-choice in the following years, contributing with 31 matches to another top-flight promotion in 1995.

In 1995–96, Agbonavbare lost his starting position to Spanish international Abel Resino.Écija Balompié, being the most used player in his position but suffering team relegation.

After one year in his country training to remain fit, Agbonavbare retired due to lack of offers at only 31.

International career

Agbonavbare appeared with the Nigerian under-20s at the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship in Mexico. He played for more than one decade with the full side, being selected for the 1994 African Cup of Nations and that year's FIFA World Cup, backing up Peter Rufai on both occasions.

Personal life

Agbonavbare settled in the Community of Madrid after retiring as a player, working as a delivery man and a goalkeeper coach. In late January 2015 it was revealed that he was suffering from cancer, and he subsequently underwent treatment at the Hospital Universitario Príncipe de Asturias in Alcalá de Henares.

Both Agonavbare's former team Rayo Vallecano and its opponents Atlético Madrid displayed a banner during their league match at the Vicente Calderón Stadium on 24 January that read "Fuerza Wilfred" (Come on Wilfred).

Russian exploration of the Pacific Northwest

The Russian Empire began its interest of the Pacific Northwest in the 18th century, initially curious if there was a land connection between the Eurasian and North American Continents. Two expeditions were led by Vitus Bering, with the findings proving the separation of two continents through the Bering Sea. Being the first European nation to chart much of what comprises the modern American state of Alaska, many locations retain Russian place names. The discovery of sizable fur bearing populations by Bering drew the attention of promyshlenniki previously engaged in the Siberian fur trade. Based out of the Siberian ports of Okhotsk or Petropavlovsk, fur trappers sailed and reported the location of land formations like the Aleutian Islands, Kodiak Island and portions of the Alaskan mainland. Relations with Native Alaskans was often terse due to the uncontrolled actions of particular promyshlenniki who killed and raped Indigenous Alaskans on islands they trapped furs.

By the mid century the creation of companies was required to shoulder the increasing operational costs. Grigory Shelikhov was prominent amongst these rising merchants, creating Russian settlements on Kodiak Island and later perpetrating the deaths of many Alutiiqs in the Awa'uq Massacre. With the Ukase of 1799 the Russian Empire gave the United American Company (the successor to Shelikhov's organization) a monopoly among Russian fur companies over North America to the 55° N latitude. The newly formed Russian-American Company (RAC) was expected to additionally create new colonies to strengthen the Russian claims to the region. The RAC funded in part or wholly expeditions of the Imperial Russian Navy like the First Russian circumnavigation. The Russo-American Treaty of 1824 and the Russo-British Treaty of 1825 formalised the claims of Russian America, essentially the borders of Alaska.


Ray Ciarrocchi

Ray Ciarrocchi is a New York-based figurative painter. Ciarrocchi has presented numerous solo exhibitions in New York, additional US cities and Italy as well as dozens of group exhibitions in varied locations and venues. His paintings, watercolors, drawings and monotypes are in many museum and private collections both nationally and abroad.

Background

Ray Ciarrocchi, August, 2010, oil on linen

Ray Ciarrocchi, the son of Italian immigrants from Tuscany and Le Marche, was born Ramon William Ciarrocchi in Chicago, IL on August 23, 1933. As a child he enjoyed drawing and during high school attended classes at the Art Institute of Chicago where he was influenced by the French Impressionists works that form a significant part of the museum's collection. After high school he enrolled and studied for two years at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts with the idea that he might eventually work as an illustrator. Military service kept him from completing his studies but brought valuable experience as Ciarrocchi was assigned to three years duty in Tokyo, Japan as an illustrator. In Tokyo he was fortunate to meet and become friends with the writer Oliver Statler, who introduced him to Isamu Noguchi and the British ceramist Bernard Leach. Studying Zen painting and attending performances and sketching at the Kabuki Theatre with its splendid color were influential in Ciarrocchi's decision to become a painter.

Following his discharge from the army, Ciarrocchi returned to college and earned a BFA from Washington University where he studied painting with Fred Conway and guest critic Stephen Pace. Pace, who later became a friend and mentor, was a strong influence imparting, among other things, his knowledge of Hans Hoffman’s visual concepts. Ciarrocchi went on to receive an MFA at Boston University where he studied with David Aaronson. While at Boston University he established rapport with fellow students Brice Marden and Kent Floeter.

Moving to New York City during 1961, Ciarrocchi continued painting as an abstract expressionist, influenced by DeKooning’s black and white period. He became acquainted with several of the painters who were associated with the Howard Wise Gallery including Edward Dugmore and Ernest Briggs.


Ray Ciarrocchi

A Fulbright Grant during 1963-64 made possible a year’s study and independent work in Florence, Italy. Seeing first-hand the work of artists Piero della Francesca and the Venetians Giorgione and Veronese, strongly influenced Ciarrocchi’s visual thinking. Living in Fiesole, above Florence, he began to draw and paint from nature, stressing the abstract figuration of the natural forms. The warm bright quality of the Italian light became a standard component of his work that continues in his current paintings.

Ciarrocchi, even when working abstractly, continued to draw from the nude. His acquaintance with Gregory Gillespie, another Fulbright artist, provided numerous discussions concerning the possibilities of figurative painting. Returning to New York he was able to draw from life with groups of artists including Diana Kurz, Lois Dodd and Regina Granne. He also established friendships with Jack Tworkov, Hermine Ford , Robert Moskowitz, Lennart Anderson, Sonia Gechtoff and Rackstraw Downes.

After his return to New York from Italy Ciarrocchi saw and was influenced by a large exhibition of Bonnard’s paintings held at Acquavella Gallery. Additional painters whose works he studies are Vuillard, Fairfield Porter, Edwin Dickinson and Filippo DePisis.

During summers spent in Maine, Ciarrocchi began to work and complete each painting directly from nature. Ciarrocchi now develops his paintings in the studio working from sketches and studies made at various sites as he divides his time between New York and Italy.

Ciarrocchi's first one-person exhibition was with the Tibor DeNagy Gallery during 1971. This was followed by seven additional exhibitions at the same gallery, the last taking place in 1985.Fischbach Gallery, 1987 and 1989 and with Rich Perlow Gallery during 1993 and 1996. Ciarrocchi continues to exhibit both nationally and abroad. An exhibition entitled "Seeking the Darkness and the Light: Drawings of Italy," was held at the University of Richmond, Virginia in February 2015.

Lawrence Campbell, writing in ARTnews magazine about one of Ciarrocchi's exhibitions stated, "Ciarrocchi improvises brilliantly on natural textures---the foliage of trees, clouds and flower-bespattered meadows. Continually, the Natural edges into the Symbolist, shifting between the seen and the unseen." Richard Waller, in his catalog essay for "Ray Ciarrocchi: Landscapes 1978-91," at University of Richmond Museums, writes: " Ciarrocchi’s landscapes are more about the exquisite moment of being in that place. His landscapes are at once aesthetic and metaphysical, achieving a unity of viewing nature with the transcendent power of that experience."

As a teacher Ciarrocchi has held positions at Pratt Institute, Columbia University, Parsons School of Design, Brooklyn College CUNY and Baruch College CUNY. He was a visiting artist at Maryland Institute College of Art and at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

His work is in numerous public, private, museum, corporate and governmental collections including:

  * Brooklyn Museum
  * Columbus Museum of Art
  * The World Bank
  * United States Department of State
  * University of Massachusetts Amherst

Orchids of Manipur (film)

Orchids of Manipur (Meitei: Manipurgi Urei) is a 1993 non-feature Indian Meitei language film scripted by M. K. Binodini Devi and directed by Aribam Syam Sharma.

It was screened at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival 2019, Japan.

Synopsis

The film is a journey through the rich forests of Manipur that are home to beautiful varieties of orchids. Over four hundred species have been identified so far, and some of them are found exclusively in Manipur. The soil and climate of Manipur are very conducive to the growth of orchids and seventy percent of the varieties of orchids available in South-East Asia are found in Manipur. The Manipuri varieties are very popular and much in demand all over the world. In Manipuri culture, the orchids are not ordinary flowers and are loved, cared for and respected.

However, in recent years, due to heavy deforestation, these flowers have been adversely affected and some of the major species are threatened with extinction. The Forst Department of the Government of Manipur is taking steps for the preservation of the orchids.

Accolades

The film won the National Film Award for Best Non-Feature Environment/Conservation/Preservation Film at the 41st National Film Awards.For a colourful and extremely aesthetic presentation of the exalting abundance of the wild orchids of Manipur".

Russian frigate Alexander Nevsky

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

Alexander Nevsky (Russian: Александр Невский) was a large screw frigate of the Russian Imperial Navy. The ship was designed as part of a challenge being offered by the Russian Empire to the Royal Navy, but was lost in a shipwreck in 1868 while Grand Duke Alexei, son of Tsar Alexander II, was aboard.

Alexander Nevsky, 1868, Toulon

Alexander Nevsky was a screw frigate of 5,100 tons (bm) and mounting 51 smoothbore cannon, making her a large vessel for her class.

The vessel was part of the expansion of the Russian Imperial Navy in cooperation with the United States, in order to challenge then-rival Great Britain's Royal Navy. The ship was designed by Ivan Dmitriev based on the frigate General Admiral, an American-made ship ordered by the Russian Imperial Navy prior to the American Civil War. It was named after Russian historical icon Alexander Nevsky (1230–1263), making it the seventh warship at the time that had carried his name.

Once commissioned, the vessel was part of the Atlantic Squadron of Rear Admiral Stepan Lesovsky. In 1863, Lesovsky sailed the Atlantic Squadron, using Alexander Nevsky as his flagship, to New York City in order to show the flag during a low point in American-Russian relations. The ship's captain at the time was Captain Mikhail Yakovlevich Federovsky.

The fleet's American design was noted with enthusiasm by American spectators.Harper's Weekly that:


Russian frigate Alexander Nevsky

The two largest in the squadron, the frigate Alexander Nevski and Peresvet, are evidently vessels of modern build, and much about them leads the unpracticed eye to think they were built in this country ... The flagship's guns are of American make, being cast in Pittsburgh.

Alexander Nevsky and the other vessels of the Atlantic squadron stayed in American waters for seven months, despite the state of civil war then existing in the United States. They even dropped anchor at Washington, D.C., the ships having sailed up the Potomac River.Alexander Nevsky had engine problems during a local cruise and had to return to New York for repairs.

Shipwreck

Wreck of the Alexander Nevsky by artist Alexey Bogolyubov, 1868

Second painting by Bogolyubov, 1868

On 25 September 1868, on her way home from a visit to Piraeus, where she had participated in the celebration of Greek King George's wedding to Grand Duchess Olga of Russia,Grand Duke Alexei, son of Tsar Alexander II, Alexander Nevsky was wrecked in the North Sea off Thyborøn, a fishing village in Jutland, Denmark.

The vessel was travelling by sail at that time and both the admiral (who had been responsible for Grand Duke Alexei's naval education) and the ship's captain miscalculated the ship's position due to incorrect drift information recorded in the pilot book. Buffeted by rain, Alexander Nevsky struck a sandbar, and her masts and some of the ship's cannons had to be pitched into the sea to prevent the vessel from immediately capsizing.

Responding to the ship's distress signal (a gun was fired), the local fishermen poured out into the now becalmed sea and rescued all of the ship's crew, aside from five crewmen who had drowned while attempting to seek help on a lifeboat.

The warship eventually sank, the wreck settling in roughly 60 feet (20 m) of water, only 300 feet (100 m) from the present coast of Thyborøn.

Grand Duke Alexei often claimed that he almost drowned when the ship went down, and enjoyed telling the story through the rest of his life.


Russian frigate Alexander Nevsky

Legacy

The shipwreck was the topic of a great deal of local and international reporting at the time, and is the subject of a major exhibition at the "Kystcentret" in Thyborøn.

Three of the drowned crewmen were buried in the village churchyard, while the remains of the two others were returned to Russia. There is a small tombstone for the three buried there (officer Odintsov and crewmen Shilov and Polyakov) with the inscription, "They risked their lives to save other people. In the name of our Lord peace over them."

Russian writer Pyotr Vyazemsky, who had been aboard Alexander Nevsky in 1865 in Nice, dedicated a poem to the ship. Artist Alexey Bogolyubov created two paintings of the ship's fate, one depicting the wreck during the night and the other during daylight.

One of the ship's anchors is on display outside Harboøre's church, another in Thyborøn.

Western Endeavour

The Western Endeavour was the first steam locomotive hauled train to operate across from Sydney on Australia's east coast to Perth on the west coast in 1970.

History

Following the completion of a project to convert the Sydney to Perth railway line to standard gauge in February 1970, the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum operated a steam locomotive hauled special across Australia in August and September 1970.

The special was the first steam locomotive hauled service to operate from the East to West coasts of Australia. At this time steam locomotives were being phased out of service, and had already ceased operating on some parts of the journey traversed.3801, with 3813 assisting as far as Port Augusta.

The train consisted of 8 sleeping carriages (5x TAM, 3x MAL), 2 FS cars (for Day Trippers that journeyed to Bathurst only), a dining car (AB90), a first class lounge carriage (BV931) and a crew/storage car (VHO1816). Water gins SWT 5 & 6 were picked up from Broken Hill. All carriages and both locomotives were overhauled and repainted at the Eveleigh Railway Workshops. Several trial runs were made with the full train as far as Goulburn. Both locomotives had their buffers removed as they would operate on railway systems where rolling stock did not have buffers.

The Western Endeavour departed Sydney Central on the 22 August 1970, arriving at East Perth on 28 August.

A water gin was added at Menindee, and the train left hauled only by 3801, the bridges of the plains not to be trusted with the weight of two 38 class locos. A second gin was added at Broken Hill, where doubleheading resumed. An air conditioned dining car was added at Port Pirie with an assist by a diesel, CL3, added at Port Augusta.

The return journey departed Perth on 6 September, arriving on 12 September.

In April/May 1988, 3801 repeated the journey during the Australian Bicentenary,LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman made the journey in September/October 1989.
