Lunch of Blood

Ben Elton: "'A single American stealth bomber costs five hundred million American dollars, and they are going to build one hundred and twenty of them. And then they turn around and complain about aid packages! Now that's the kind of obscenity we accept in our lives, and yet none of us can stand being in the lavatory and hearing the splash next door.'"

Rachel Hunter: "'There's this thing people say that the child won't know its mother if it has a nanny and that's rubbish! I know dogs and babies are different, and I had a Great Dane at home in Auckland, and I left her when she was quite young because I had to go back to England for months, and she knew who I was when I got back!'"

Elle Macpherson: "'However, men are men and women are women. That's all there is to it. women who want to be men and men who want to be women are not, to me, particularly normal. I am a woman. I get my periods every month. I get premenstrual tension. I have babies, I like to wear skirts, I like to have men open the door for me and stand up for me when I enter a room. I have absolutely noooo ambition to wear overalls and to have somebody talk to me about some girl that he fucked last night.'"

Morrissey: "'People tell me that they fall in love with me, but I sit at home, night after night, watching television documentaries, and I ask myself: Where are all these people who are falling in love with me? And, you know, I'm stroking the cat ... I'm buttering a large piece of brown toast ... I'm asking myself whether or not I really have anything at all to do with youth culture ... it's very curious.'"

Clarence Max Fowler

Clarence Max Fowler (November 26, 1918 – February 27, 2006) was an American physicist who worked at Los Alamos between 1952 and 1996. His main contribution was on explosively pumped flux compression generators.

Career

From 1945 to 1952, Clarence "Max" Fowler did research, successively, at the United States Naval Academy,University of Michigan,Kansas State College.Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1952, retiring in 1996. During this period Fowler became the highest Western authority on the research and application of explosively pumped flux compression generators. (The research of the Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov at Sarov was more advanced, but for a long time the whole field of megagauss research was covered by military secrecy). In those years, mega-gauss technologies were being applied for the first time in a series of experimental devices, such as lasers, implosion foils, electromagnetic beam accelerators and the railgun. Fowler also used these generators in order to study the response of several substances to ultra-strong magnetic fields, and among the materials that were investigated were superconductors that operated at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (such as the Yttrium barium copper oxide compound).

Founding member of the "International Megagauss Conferences"

Clarence Fowler was the principal promoter of the first International Megagauss Conference. The first of these was held in Frascati, Italy (1965). The Megagauss conferences were the principal forum where international scientists could present some of their theories and achievements in generating ultra-strong magnetic fields and their applications. Clarence Fowler and his group were the authors of the first paper presented at the first conference in Frascati. After the first, there were nine further conferences (the last was Megagauss-X, held in Berlin in 2004), in each of these meetings Clarence Fowler and his wife Janet were active participants.

Foundation of NHMFL Consortium

Because of the successful research done by his group on the effects of ultra-intense magnetic fields on many materials and their mutual interaction, Florida State and Los Alamos National Laboratory decided to join their efforts to found the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.

Publications

Clarence Fowler wrote more than 250 scientific papers, always about topics related to ultra-intense magnetic fields.

Clarke v Hurst

Clarke v Hurst NO and OthersSouth African law, with significant ramifications for the legal status of euthanasia. It was heard and decided by Thirion J in the Durban and Coast Local Division on July 30, 1992, and is distinguished from S v Hartmann not only in that it was a civil rather than a criminal matter, but also by the court's divergent finding.

Facts

Dr Frederick Cyril Clarke was a life member of the SA Voluntary Euthanasia Society. In 1988, he suffered cardiac arrest and was reduced to a vegetative state. Dr Clarke had signed a living will, requesting of his family and physician that, in the event of there being no reasonable expectation of his recovery from an extreme physical or mental disability, he be allowed to die rather than live by artificial means. His wife duly applied to be appointed his curatrix personae, with the power, even were this to result in his death, to authorise the discontinuance of his treatment.

The Attorney-General opposed the application, arguing that Mrs Clarke was effectively asking for a declaratory order to end a life, and declined to undertake not to prosecute if this should transpire.

Judgment

The court determined that "it is but right" that Mrs Clarke should have the legal position on this matter determined by a court, "which can view the evidence dispassionately and objectively."boni mores of society.

This question he found to be contingent on the quality of life which remained to the patient. In this regard, it was notable that, although Dr Clarke was still alive and his death was not imminent, his brain had "permanently lost the capacity to induce a physical and mental existence at a level which qualifies as human life."

Although "her conduct would not be justifiable in law on any of the grounds of justification ('regverdigingsgronde'),"

The application was therefore granted, and the court ordered that Mrs Clarke would not be acting wrongfully or unlawfully

Château de Grégy

The Château de Grègy is a château in Évry-Grégy-sur-Yerre, Seine-et-Marne, France.

The first château was built in 1620 by Antoine de Brennes; two towers remain. Antoine de Clairambault rebuilt the central portion at the beginning of the 19th century, and added wings connecting the tower of a former church to the main building. American decorator and architect Ogden Codman, Jr. owned the château in the 20th century, adding its entry pavilions.

The château is situated along the river Yerres, and is reached via the Pont Saint-Pierre (17th century).

Neon zonatus

Neon zonatus is a species of jumping spider found only in Taiwan. It is a tiny spider with a total length (excluding legs) of only 2.25 mm. The carapace is greyish brown with a yellowish brown central area and a black margin. The whole carapace is densely covered with white hair. The legs are light brown with black patches and large, prominent spines. The wide abdomen is boldly striped black and light brown.

This species is most similar to the widespread Neon minutus but the bold abdominal pattern is diagnostic.

Islands of the Sun

Islands of the Sun or The Adventures of Iambulus in the Southern Ocean is a utopian novel by Iambulus which was written in Greek between 165 and 50 BCE.

The character Iambulus was captured on his way through Arabia. Heeding orders from his Ethiopian captors, he journeys to a distant island where he meets the natives who would share their prosperity with the Ethiopians for six hundred years. The islands are part of an archipelago where the days and nights are equal length and the weather is temperate. The natives eat animals and plants; all of which are plentiful. They live in a society with communistic features and value restraint, beauty, and knowledge. Iambulus stays for seven years then returns to Greece.

Background

This presented first-person narrative describing a voyage to the Islands of the Sun, which forms part of an archipelago of seven islands equidistant to one another, all observed to be run under the same set of rules and laws, is a story which is said to have been originally authored by an ancient Greek merchant named Iambulus.

This story has been estimated to have been written in the third or second century BCE.

Furthermore, Iambulus' narrative specifically within Islands of the Sun is observed to still fall within parameters classic of Greek literary utopia. Typically, the literary genre of Greek storytelling is presented in a pointed, sharply defined manner (especially with respect to futuristic/utopian thematics). Most prominently, Iambulus is seen to conduct his writings within this genre via his implementation of utopian aesthetics (physical, architectural), human perfectionism (diseaseless, long-living societies), and style of travel-narrative within the story presented in/by Islands of the Sun.

Summary

The following are the eight chapters in Iambulus' narrative Island of the Sun: Birth and Education of Iambulus, Incidents Leading to his Discovery of the Islands of the sun, Geographical and Astronomical Description of the Islands, Constitution and Customs of the Islanders, Religion of the Islanders, Language and Learning of the Islanders, The animals of the Islands, Sojourn of Iambulus as Palibotha and his Return to Greece or Asia Minor.


Islands of the Sun

The first and second chapters talked about Iambulus' journey to the Ethiopian coast, where he had to do a ritual for the purification of that land. He and some of the folk there were forced to be on the sea and reach an island in order to secure peace and prosperity. After sailing for about four months, they reached an island and received a warm welcome from the natives there.

The third chapter continued on describing the island and the native on the Island of the Sun. The island was described as a circular form with a circumference of a thousand kilometers near the equator. The islander enjoyed the climate and the ripened fruits as it's warm all year round. They have mastered techniques to grow more fruits and create clothes from oyster shells and certain reed. They also became skillful to catch animals such as fish and birds to the point where food was overproduced.

The fourth chapter gave descriptions of the native appearance and their custom. The native is over six feet tall with soft skins but still strong. Their body is well proportioned with a wider nose and ears. They are very diverse because of their fork tongue that has the ability to multitask conversation with people. They live in a group of a clan with the oldest member ruling each one. The islander does not care much for marriage as they like to raise children and love each other equally. In order to cast out which child is strong and weak, they tested them for a fight against the large bird. Since they are very knowledgeable about hunting, they can prepare meats and roasted food however, they do not know much about condiments and sauces. Even though they are extremely healthy and free from disease, those who reached the age of one hundred and fifty have to kill themselves with a strange plant. Then they are buried under the sand near the low tide.

The fifth chapter provides information about the religion of the islander. They believed in God as the heavens, the sun, and celestial bodies. They celebrate god by throwing feasts and festivals praising to the god with music and songs.

The sixth chapter talked about how the islander does not write its line horizontally but vertically downward. They have twenty-eight different phonetic values but only seven-character unlike how we do. They are mostly concerned with astrology.


Islands of the Sun

The seventh chapter described the type of animals located on the island. There are many kinds and sorts of small animals that are similar to a tortoise. Its skin has yellow lines with four eyes and four mouths. It can walk any directions and when it is being cut up, it glues itself back together.

The eighth chapter talked about how Iambulus was taken to the king of Palibothra by the native villagers. The king allowed Iambulus to travel back to Persia and then later to Greece.

Publication

The original text of Iambulus' Islands of the Sun does not exist today.Diodorus Siculus' Bibliotheca historica, and these are in the form of excerpts.The Adventures of Iambulus in the Southern Ocean, but this is unknown as no original manuscript exists. The publication date, or writing, of this tale has been dated back to around 3rd or 2nd century BCE.The Islands of the Sun other than Diodorus Siculus' work, can be found in Lucian's book, True History,John Tzetzes' writings in Chiliades.

Historical context

See also: Hellenistic Period

Iambulus' Island of the Sun demonstrates many ideas other Hellenistic writers were seen to share. The Hellenistic period was enveloped with geographical and travel literature. Iambulus uses astronomical, geographical, botanical, zoological and anthropological data to authenticate his narrative.

Reception

This story has been cited by different scholars listing utopian tales of the Hellenistic age.Islands of the Sun is described in the introduction of Lucian's novel True History,John Tzetzes to mention its tale in his Chiliades also

John III of Trebizond

John III Megas Komnenos or Grand Comnenus (Greek: Ἰωάννης Μέγας Κομνηνός, Iōánnēs Mégas Komnēnós; c. 1321 – 1362) was emperor of Trebizond from September 4, 1342, to May 3, 1344. He was a son of Emperor Michael of Trebizond (who had reigned for a day in 1341) and Acropolitissa, a daughter of Constantine Acropolites.

John lived most of his life in Constantinople where his father had lived since c. 1297. When Michael became Emperor of Trebizond for a day in 1341 and was quickly deposed and imprisoned by megas doux John the Eunuch, John was still in Constantinople. However, in 1342 the leaders of the Scholarioi, Niketas Scholares and Gregory Meitzomates, visited him there and persuaded the young man to come with them to Trebizond and take the throne. With the approval of the Byzantine government, the group set out for Trebizond in September 1342 after enlisting the support of three Genoese galleys, bringing their little fleet to a total of five ships. After a short but fierce fight John and his supporters captured the city on September 4, aided by a popular uprising in their favor. After the coronation of John III as emperor, the deposed Empress Anna Anachoutlou was strangled, and her noble supporters executed or exiled shortly following John's coronation in Panagia Chrysokephalos Church.

Both William Miller and George Finlay describe John III as a weak and dissolute ruler, who cared only for entertainment, self-indulgence, and luxury; he showed no interest over his own father who remained the prisoner of megas doux John the Eunuch.megas doux, Niketas marched to Limnia where he freed Michael then returned with him to Trebizond to depose John. On May 3, 1344 John was banished to the monastery of St. Sabas (where he was kept under a Byzantine guard) and his father was restored to the throne.


John III of Trebizond

The deposed emperor was eventually transferred by his father to Constantinople and from there in 1345 to Adrianople. He escaped from there in c. 1357 and made his way to Sinope to regain his throne, only to die in that city in 1362.Michael Panaretos tells us John had a son, but not his name; all that Panaretos records about him is that he escaped from captivity in 1363 and fled first to Caffa, then to Galata.

Natural neighbor interpolation

Natural neighbor interpolation with Sibson weights. The area of the green circles are the interpolating weights, wi. The purple-shaded region is the new Voronoi cell, after inserting the point to be interpolated (black dot). The weights represent the intersection areas of the purple-cell with each of the seven surrounding cells.

Natural neighbor interpolation is a method of spatial interpolation, developed by Robin Sibson.Voronoi tessellation of a discrete set of spatial points. This has advantages over simpler methods of interpolation, such as nearest-neighbor interpolation, in that it provides a smoother approximation to the underlying "true" function.

The basic equation is:

[{\displaystyle G(x)=\sum _{i=1}^{n}{w_{i}(x)f(x_{i})}}]

where [G(x)] is the estimate at [x], [w_{i}] are the weights and [f(x_{i})] are the known data at [(x_i)]. The weights, [w_{i}], are calculated by finding how much of each of the surrounding areas is "stolen" when inserting [x] into the tessellation.

Sibson weights [{\displaystyle w_{i}(\mathbf {x} )={\frac {A(\mathbf {x} _{i})}{A(\mathbf {x} )}}}]

where A(x) is the volume of the new cell centered in x, and A(xi) is the volume of the intersection between the new cell centered in x and the old cell centered in xi.

Natural neighbor interpolation with Laplace weights. The interface l(xi) between the cells linked to x and xi is in blue, while the distance d(xi) between x and xi is in red.

John III of the Palatinate

John III of the Palatinate (7 May 1488 in Heidelberg – 3 February 1538) was the 48th Archbishop of Regensburg. He reigned from 1507 until his death.

Background

John III of the Palatine was a member of the House of Wittelsbach. His father was Elector Palatine Philip; his mother was Margaret of Bavaria. His brothers included George, who was Bishop of Speyer and Henry, who was bishop of Utrecht, Freising and Worms.

Reign

As a younger son, John III was destined from a young age for a career in the clergy. Nevertheless, he received little education on religious matters. He proved a capable administrator, but never took religious vows, so technically he was diocesan administrator rather than archbishop.

There were riots in Regensburg between 1511 and 1513. These were triggered by the deaths of Sigmund von Rohrbach. He had been imperial captain; this office was increasingly used as a favour for favorites of the emperor. This meant the imperial captains were frequently absent, and decision they had to take were delayed. Emperor Maximilian I awarded the office to the knight Thomas Fuchs von Schneeburg. The riots led to the creation of a council from the ranks of the city's leading citizens. This council announce that they would investigate the problem. However, some members intended to take revenge on the emperor's appointees. After mediation by John III, a more conservative City Council was installed, who managed to halt the revolution. An imperial commission then punished the leaders of the unrest.

John III supported the agitation against the Jews in Regensburg, which was popular among the middle classes. There were anti-Jewish sermons and the bishop's law court began to interpret court cases about unpaid loans as religious disputes between Christians and Jews. The Jews sent letters of complaint to Emperor Maximilian I, who rebuked John III. After Maximilian I died in 1519, the city turned against the Jews. Their synagogue was demolished and they were forced to leave the city. A church, dedicated to Maria, was constructed on the spot where the synagogue had stood. Balthasar Hubmaier was a preacher in this church. Pilgrims began to visit this church, and John III began to administered the considerable revenue the pilgrims brought in.


John III of the Palatinate

While the city and clergy agreed on the persecution of the Jews, they disagreed on other matters. In particular, John III claimed all taxes paid by the clergy, and challenged the city and the sovereign princes in his diocese, who also claimed these revenues. Among the more important events during the Reformation was the conversion of Balthaser Hubmaier to Anabaptism. Hubmaier would later be tortured and burned at the stake in Vienna. The diocese lost he deanery of Wunsiedel when the local ruler, Margrave George the Pious indulged in a church visitation. He summoned the clergy in his territory and judged them by their loyalty to himself and their attitude towards the Lutheran faith, of which he was an early champion. He imprisoned clergy he didn't like, and deprived them of their income. The fate of the Dean Melchior von Sparneck is a typical example of what might happen to a priest in these restless times.

Three years before his death, John III negotiated with his brothers Louis V and Frederick II and with the cathedral chapter. He wanted to retire, and wanted the separate several districts from the bishopric to provide him with an income during his retirement, and he wanted the chapter to elect one of his underage relatives as his successor. The chapter refused, as they were afraid that the lands he would separate from the bishopric would be inherited by the Elector Palatine after his death.

John III died on 3 February 1538. After his death, he left a debt of 30000 guilders.

Private career

Đukić is a lawyer. He lives in Novi Sad.

Politician

The SPO contested the 2008 Vojvodina provincial election as part of the For a European Vojvodina alliance led by the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS). Đukić received the twenty-fourth position on the alliance's electoral list and was awarded a mandate after the list won twenty-three seats.proportional representation were awarded to parties or coalitions rather than individual candidates, and it was common practice for the mandates to be assigned out of numerical order. Đukić's list position had no specific bearing on whether or not he received a mandate.) For a European Vojvodina won a majority of seats in the election, and Đukić served as a government supporter for the next four years.

On 18 September 2009, he was also appointed to the Novi Sad city council (i.e., the executive branch of the municipal government) with responsibility of education.dual mandate as a city councillor and assembly member.

In late 2011, he and prominent Vojvodina politicians took part in the removal of hate speech graffiti from buildings near the Novi Sad police department.

Serbia's electoral law was reformed in 2011, such that assembly mandates were awarded in numerical order to candidates on successful lists. For the 2012 provincial election, the SPO joined a coalition known as Preokret (English: U-Turn), and Đukić was given the fourth position on their list.electoral threshold to win representation in the assembly.


Milan Đukić (Vojvodina politician)

As he was no longer a member of the provincial assembly and was not in a conflict-of-interest situation, Đukić rejoined the Novi Sad city council on 29 June 2012 with responsibility for social and child protection.coalition government and announced a new partnership with the Serbian Progressive Party (Srpska napredna stranka, SNS). In resigning, Đukić said that he would not rejoin council even if the SPO became part of a new civic administration, although he clarified that he would not leave the party.

There was a serious split in the SPO in 2017, wherein several dissidents left to form a new party called the Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia (Pokret obnove Kraljevine Srbije, POKS). The POKS was led by Žika Gojković, who had hitherto been the SPO's provincial leader in Vojvodina; all three SPO members of the provincial assembly also joined the new organization.

The SPO contested the 2020 provincial election as part of the SNS's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children coalition. Đukić was the sole SPO candidate on the coalition's list, appearing in the fifty-first position; he was elected to a second term when the list won a majority victory with seventy-six of 120 mandates.

Cock Magic

"Cock Magic" is the eighth episode in the eighteenth season of the American animated television series South Park. The 255th overall episode, it was written and directed by series co-creator and co-star Trey Parker. The episode premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on November 19, 2014. The episode lampoons the popularity of the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering using double entendres of various sexual innuendo, women's sports, and cockfighting versus the stand for animal rights.

Plot

At school, members of the girls' volleyball team try to gather support for their upcoming game, but Cartman, Craig, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny all turn them down, as Kenny is scheduled to compete in a game of Magic: The Gathering. Kenny wins his game, and the others brag at school about Kenny's brutality in the game. Wendy is disappointed in Stan for not attending the volleyball game. A janitor overhears the boys' talking and gives them information on a more "hardcore" secret underground event. Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny all arrive at City Wok to find chickens playing Magic in a scene resembling a cockfight, known as "cock magic". Stan, Kyle, and Cartman enjoy the event, but Kenny feels bad for the roosters. Police, led by Detective Harris,Kenny's parents' home, searching for the cock magic ring. Randy warns the kids about cock magic, as he was involved with it back in college, and he demonstrates his knowledge of a completely different type of "cock magic" by performing magic tricks with his penis. The boys go looking for a rooster they can train to play with the help of Kenny's knowledge. Stan raises questions about animal rights, but the boys eventually choose a younger chicken that has not yet expressed a preference for a fighting style of Magic, and they name their chicken McNuggets. Meanwhile, Randy practices his form of cock magic, since he believes that people are talking about it again.


Cock Magic

McNuggets wins a Magic game at City Wok, and the boys are given information on another, more upscale, event. Randy unsuccessfully attempts to entertain a group of children at a birthday party with his cock magic, performing as "The Amazingly Randi". The girls' volleyball coach comes to class to encourage turnout, and Stan, Kyle, and Cartman all joke about it, but Wendy, who is the team captain, also makes a speech and leaves Stan stunned. The parents at the birthday party attempt to report Randy's cock magic show to the police, who are confused as they are looking for the cock magic fighting games, and they arrest the mother for calling in a fake 911 report. Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman bring McNuggets to the next event being held at a Panda Express, but Stan is attending a girls' volleyball game to gain favor with Wendy. The event features an undefeated rooster named Gadnuk, Breaker of Worlds, and the boys realize McNuggets is outmatched, but they are forced to play.

Kenny steps in for McNuggets to play Gadnuk, while Cartman is relaying to Stan all the information via cell phone at the game. Kenny appears to be on the verge of winning the game when the police bust the event. They reveal that they knew about the event due to fliers that had been passed out, which was actually done by Randy, who is performing as The Amazingly Randi for the halftime entertainment. As Randy performs to a stunned crowd, people use the distraction to discreetly leave, eventually leaving only Randy with the police. At school, Kenny wonders what they will do with McNuggets now that his underground fighting career is seemingly over. Stan comes up with the idea to combine the girls' volleyball game against McNuggets playing Magic, as the game finally has the crowd attention they have been wanting all along.

Production


Cock Magic

Production

At the end of the production of "Freemium Isn't Free", the sixth episode of this season, Trey Parker and Matt Stone had to quickly come up with what it was that Stan was doing now instead of playing freemium games. They settled on board games. Because it was fun to put some of their favorite board games in the background of that scene, Parker and Stone started discussing doing an episode where the characters play board games, with the twist being that it would be treated like an illegal activity. Also considered was a slightly modified version where instead of it being illegal, the characters played the game like a serious sport. For the game, they chose Magic: The Gathering because Parker had played it before and was a fan of it. Once it was spontaneously decided that roosters would be involved, the term "cock magic" was coined and it set up Randy doing his own cock magic.

Peter Serafinowicz was brought in to do the voice of the announcer. Parker and Stone thought Serafinowicz had a "beautiful voice" so they had him do several different voices to see which would be the best fit. Originally, the voice was done in a low, calm golf announcer voice. Despite being "funny for a little bit", Parker and Stone felt that "the scenes just kind of died out" and the voice had to be funnier. At the "very last minute", it was decided that the voice would be performed in the style of a big and exciting fight announcer where the announcer gets "super excited" after a sudden knockout. Serafinowicz performed the role like an overexcited English football announcer and Parker and Stone were "dying [with] laughter".

Reception

The episode received generally positive reviews from critics. The episode received an A− rating from The A.V. Club's Dan Caffrey, who headlined his review with "The show does away with commentary and ends up with one of the season’s best episodes."IGN gave the episode a 6.5 out of 10 and noted that it was "feeling muddled and unfocused".Den of Geek gave the episode 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated: "It might not be the best episode of the season, but it’s a very solid piece of fluff installment in the meantime."

False Bay, South Australia

This article is about the bay in South Australia. For the adjoining locality, see False Bay, South Australia (locality). For other uses, see False Bay (disambiguation).

The False Bay is an 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) wide south-southeasterly facing bay in South Australia's upper Spencer Gulf region. It extends from the Whyalla steelworks at the southern end to Black Point at the eastern end. It features very wide, low gradient tidal, sand and salt flats which are up to 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) wide. Five very low energy, rarely visited beaches are accessible to the public. The two boundary beaches are accessible by vehicles from the Port Bonython Road while the central three are surrounded by salt and tidal flats and tidal creeks. False Bay's beaches are not patrolled but are rated among the state's least hazardous.

Location and features

False Bay is a favored spot for windsurfing and is described by local club members as a great onshore jump haven. The waves are consistently larger than those occurring in Adelaide coastal waters and the winds are often strong with winter northerlies providing prime conditions. False Bay is best sailed from the far eastern corner.

There is a total ban on the taking of cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid and octopus) in the waters of False Bay. The closure was created to protect the annual breeding aggregation of Sepia apama which occurs in the area and on adjacent rocky reefs at Whyalla and towards Point Lowly.

Biography


Milan Ćurčin

Biography

Milan Ćurčin was the son of a prosperous merchant’s family from Pančevo, Austria-Hungary. He attended the primary school in Pančevo and continued his education at the gymnasium in Novi Sad, where he graduated with maturity diploma. In 1899, he began studying German studies at the Viennese University under Richard Heinzel and Jakob Minor. In Vienna he met Ivan Meštrović for the first time, who became the most important friend of his life. Ćurčin was the author of one of the first monographs on the sculptor, published in 1919 (English edition) and in 1933 (Serbo-Croatian edition). In 1904, he finished his studies with the doctoral thesis Das serbische Volkslied in der deutschen Literatur (The Serbian Folk Ballad in German Literature) which has been published a year later as a book edition. Since more than a hundred years, this publication of German studies is still regarded as basic work on the reciprocal relations between Serbian and German literary history. In 1906, he lectured on German language and literature at the University of Belgrade. One year later, the young lecturer was appointed associate professor who taught at the University until 1914. After the outbreak of War in Serbia, he became an officer in the medical corps of the Royal Serbian Army and organized the facilities for the care of wounded soldiers. During the war he was sent to London to coordinate the medical aid for Serbia with the Yugoslav Committee and some organizations such as Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service. After the war, he lived in Zagreb and edited the periodical Nova Evropa (New Europe) since 1920. In 1941, the publication of the magazine had to be discontinued by order of the Ustaše authorities of the Independent State of Croatia. Ćurčin left Zagreb and went to Split. He lived there in Meštrović's house until 1947. In the 1950s he was a temporary member of the editorial-staff of the Yugoslav Encyclopedia, edited by the Yugoslav Lexicographical Institute (Jugoslavenski leksikografski zavod) of the SFR Yugoslavia. He died in Zagreb and was buried in Pančevo.

Ćurćin’s editorial programme was the promotion of European cosmopolitanism and liberalism as fundamental principles of the idea of integrative Yugoslavism. The magazine contained articles on European and Yugoslav policy, economy, history, literature, art and education. Among the authors were national and international personalities such as Juraj Andrassy, Victor Bérard, Miloš Crnjanski, Slobodan Jovanović, Miroslav Krleža, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Ivo Pilar, Isidora Sekulić, Robert William Seton-Watson, Dinko Šimunović, Savić Marković Štedimlija, Milan Stojadinović, Josef Strzygowski and Dušan Vuksan as well as many other intellectuals and artists of that time. The publication of the magazine had to be discontinued in 1941 due to political changes in the Balkans. The magazine was one of the most important periodicals of its kind in Yugoslavia during the interwar period.

Cold Spring Farm (Phippsburg, Maine)

Cold Spring Farm is a historic house on Cold Spring Farm Road in Phippsburg, Maine. Built in 1774 by a Loyalist refugee from Boston, it is a fine and well-preserved example of Georgian architecture in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Description and history

Cold Spring Farm is located on the western bank of the Kennebec River in northern Phippsburg, at a point opposite Arrowsic Island where the river narrows. It is accessed by road from Maine State Route 209 by Fiddler's Reach Road and Old Ferry Road. It is a two-story brick structure, with a tall hip roof and two interior chimneys. Oriented facing roughly south towards the river, its north side is built partly into a slope, revealing only the top 1+1⁄2 stories on the north side. Its exterior is quite plain, with sash windows in rectangular openings, and a central entrance flanked by sidelight windows. The main block is flanked by small single-story ells to the east and west. The interior retains period woodwork and finishes, including fireplace mantels, doors and wainscoting. The central stairway underwent some alterations in the 19th century.

The house was built in 1774 by William Lee, an Englishman who had settled in Boston, Massachusetts, but decided to leave the city that year following civil disturbances of the American Revolution. Lee was from a family of brickmakers, and fashioned the bricks for the house from clay found on the banks of a stream just north of the house. The property is apparently named for a nearby spring, which does not freeze in the winter.

Feiko Bouman

Feiko Bouman (born 10 June 1944) is a Dutch Australian architect and author, best known for his outback museum, The Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame, Longreach Queensland. The building was opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1988.

Early life

Bouman was born in Groningen, Netherlands. His family emigrated to Australia when he was 7-years-old. Initially there were difficult beginnings living in distant Menangle Park, followed by then primitive circumstances in Oxford Falls, before the family settled in the Manly area. His education started at Manly Primary School, then Manly Boys High School, situated in North Curl Curl. Bouman studied architecture at University of NSW, after gaining a Commonwealth scholarship, graduating in 1966. Some years in London followed, including working in the office of Owen Luder Partnership as Design Architect. Back in Sydney, Bouman worked with Col Madigan in the office of Edwards Madigan Torzillo and Briggs from 1969-1975, initially as Design Architect, and later Associate Director. While in this office he joined with Chris Kringas, to win the Australia-wide competition for the High Court of Australia. In 1976 he commenced his own architectural practice in Balmain.

High Court of Australia, Canberra

High Court of Australia, Canberra


Feiko Bouman

High Court of Australia, Canberra

The High Court of Australia is listed on the World Register of Significant 20th Century Architecture. It has been commented that; the major central space, with inviting access ramps, the clarity of court layout and visitor patterning, is one of the great public spaces in Australia. During the making of the 2012 video sessions, to document the history of the High Court, Chief Justice Robert French arranged for Feiko Bouman to receive a bronze commemorative medallion, in recognition of his original design co-authorship. In May 2021, The High Court of Australia held a function in the building, to celebrate 40+ years since construction completion. Chief Justice Susan Kiefel invited Bouman to make a speech to record the history of its genesis /creation, from the architectural competition to the start of on-site construction. The speech can be seen here.

Stockman’s Hall of Fame, Longreach, Queensland

Stockman’s Hall of Fame, Longreach

This now iconic outback museum has been reviewed, photographed and commented upon extensively in many forums, publications and video media. Despite its relatively remote location, hundreds of thousands of visitors have made the trek.

Architectural historian, Philip Drew, has written many articles in architecture journals, as well as in mainstream media. He has commented that " the museum is a building which dares to project its own special image, an image that gains in strength from its interaction with the landscape." And "Bouman’s innovation rests on his insight in recognising that the asymmetrical composition of Utzon’s Opera House could be translated into a series of parallel vaults.". John Lahey, writing in The Age, surprised with his early commentary piece: "Opera House of the Outback" ... "we in the south have undervalued this project. It is a love song in corrugated steel” and correctly predicted that thousands, millions will visit the Hall of Fame".

North Sydney Oval, North Sydney Civic Centre and Library

North Sydney Oval


Feiko Bouman

North Sydney Oval

From 1980 to 1988 Ted Mack was mayor of North Sydney Council. During this time, Feiko Bouman carried out and built many major transformative works in the municipality. The Council selected Bouman’s firm from several other submissions, primarily based upon the design quality of, The Stockman’s Hall of Fame. In 2007, Ted Mack launched the book ‘Feiko Bouman Architecture’ and in his launch speech tells a detailed story of the struggles to achieve worthwhile initiatives in local politics. His speech can be seen here.

John Haskell, architectural critic, writing in The Sydney Morning Herald, has described this contribution as "conferred a distinctive visual identity on North Sydney...and...refreshingly free of fads and fashion". The Civic Centre project started modestly; repairing a vacant site next to the Council Chambers, providing a dedicated park and other community facilities. Later the distinctive Civic Centre Offices and Library

Manly Civic Centre and Library

Manly Civic Centre and Library

The Library building was designed as the first stage of a major redevelopment, on a very restricted and isolated site. It initiated a revitalisation of the area and resolves some complex planning problems.

Penrith Civic Centre and Library

Penrith Civic Centre and Library

Penrith is the centre of a fast-growing area, west of Sydney, rapidly becoming a place of regional significance. Council operated from 4 separate buildings and there was an obvious need to centralise its activities. The completed complex has a strong presence, intended to express developing confidence. Elizabeth Farrelly, in the Sydney Morning Herald, wrote ... "people who work in the Civic Centre lyricise over the sense of endless discovery it brings, and the bytes of surprise visual joy.". She also poses the interesting question ..."Can a building, especially a public building, be liked-loved even-by all inhabitants and not be good architecture?"

Quadrant apartments, Milsons Point

Steel Treehouse, Killcare Beach

Steel Treehouse, Killcare Beach


Feiko Bouman

Steel Treehouse, Killcare Beach

The overriding approach of the design, was to have minimal impact on the natural beauty of the site. It is virtually a treehouse, constructed on a central core, with large cantilevers extending from the centre. Steel construction is very appropriate for a bushfire-prone area and is further enhanced through the specific roof design. Conventional gutters have been eliminated; through the device of the major curved roof forms, directly flowing onto a “flat” tapered tray system, allowing positive water and leaf run-off, into just one large downpipe, which empties into a grated sump. There are three connected “pavilions” for balance between communal and private areas.

Don't Let Me Die

"Don't Let Me Die" is a song by American rapper Jay-Z and American singer R. Kelly. It is the second single from their collaboration album Unfinished Business (2004). The song was produced by Tone of the Trackmasters and Kelly, with co-production from Alexander "Spanador" Mosley.

Critical reception

Tom Breihan of Pitchfork wrote that the song's gospel choir, which he described as "bazonkers", was one of the better aspects of the Trackmasters' "clean" sound throughout Unfinished Business.Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote the song "amplifies the disc's abundant cheese to operatic levels, complete with a choir and an unhinged Kelly vocal".

In popular culture

In the 2013 film G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Roadblock invokes Jay-Z's lyrics from the song: "Whatever deity guides my life / Dear Lord, don't let me die tonight".

Cold Spring, Minnesota

Cold Spring is a city in Stearns County, Minnesota, United States, at the gateway of the Sauk River Chain of Lakes, an interconnected system of 14 bay-like lakes fed and connected by the Sauk River. Cold Spring is part of the St. Cloud Metropolitan Statistical Area. Its population was 4,025 at the 2010 census.

History

Originally home to the Ojibwe, Winnebago, and Dakota people, Cold Spring was platted in 1856, and named for the many springs near the original town site.

German-speaking Catholics settled in the area, lured by the Slovenian missionary priest Francis Xavier Pierz, who had submitted letters and advertisements to the major German-language newspapers across the U.S., such as Der Wahrheitsfreund (The Friend of Truth), and in Europe, urging "good, pious" German Catholics to come to the Sauk River Valley, which he called a "land flowing with milk and honey" and safe from disease and anti-Catholic oppression.

During the grasshopper plagues of the 1870s, Assumption Chapel, also known as the Grasshopper Chapel, was built in petition for relief from the locusts.

Cold Spring has three properties on the National Register of Historic Places: the John Oster House and Ferdinand Peters House, both built in 1907, and the Eugene Hermanutz House, built in 1912.

The city was thrust in the national spotlight on September 24, 2003, when then 15-year-old Jason McLaughlin shot and killed two classmates in the Rocori High School shooting.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 2.70 square miles (6.99 km2); 2.67 square miles (6.92 km2) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water.

Cold Spring is in Wakefield Township geographically but is a separate entity.
