The Cinema of Suriname is part of the Surinamese culture. National cinema, as a kind of artistic creativity, was born in the second half of the 70s of the 20th century. The first full-length film in Suriname was, shot in 1976, the joint Dutch-Surinamese film "Wan Pipel" (one people) directed by Pim de la Parra. In 1996, De la Parra, who returned from the Netherlands, founded the Suriname Film Academy (Cinema Institute in Paramaribo). Since March 2005, with the support of the Government of the Netherlands and private donors from the Netherlands, the Suriname Film Academy has been providing screenwriting, cinematography, sound engineering and director/producer courses. The emphasis at the academy is on training in the production of low-budget films. In the 1950s, the share of American cinema in the cinemas of Suriname was 77%, 11% was the share of Indian cinema, the rest was the share of European film production. There was no national cinema during the colonial period. The Dutch government showed no interest in its development. However, even after the declaration of independence in 1975, the situation did not change. The Cinema of Suriname has not received and to this day does not receive financial support from the state. Thus, due to the economic crisis in the 1990s, all cinemas in the country were closed. Since the beginning of the 21st century, a few enthusiastic filmmakers from local natives have begun a gradual restoration of the structures of the national film industry. To this end, in 2002, director Eddie Weingard and his wife Hennach Dreibar founded The Back Lot Foundation. Every year, on December 6-11, in the building of the Thalia Theatre in Paramaribo, the Foundation hosts screenings of festival feature and documentary films. The Back Lot Foundation is financially supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prince Claus Fund. In 2003, the first Surinamese film for children "Sjommie" was filmed. In 2007, another Surinamese film by De la Parra, "Het geheim van de Saramacca rivier" (the secret of the Saramacca River), was released. The film critics' award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2010 was given to the film by American director Ben Russell "Let Each One Go Where He May", filmed by him in 2009 in Suriname, where he worked in the Peace Corps. In 2013, The Price of Sugar directed by Jean van de Velde was released. The story which was loosely based on the novel by Cynthia McLeod is about two half-sisters. One sister is a Caucasian planter's daughter, the other is a Creole slave. References Bibliography
Mia Mulder, born April 24, 1993 and raised in Sandhult, is a Swedish left-wing video essayist and activist, mainly focused on transgender people's conditions and rights as well as other historical, social and political topics. By January 2022, Mulder's YouTube channel had passed 90,000 subscribers. Early life Mulder studied history at Uppsala University, specialising in queer history, late 19th century German political history, and medical history dating back to 1750. She has also studied acting. Mulder has worked as a fashion model and LGBTQ educator before focusing on activism. Activism In the summer of 2016 Mulder founded and chaired Transförsvaret (Trans Defence), an activist group for the promotion of trans rights in Sweden with a focus on healthcare. The group published thirteen demands for better medical and legal treatment of transgender and intersex people in Sweden, as well as for other LGBT people and for refugees. In November 2016, a group of more than 60 Transförsvaret activists staged an occupation of the offices of Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare demanding the end to their classification of transgender people as mentally ill. The activists attempted to hold discussions with the Board's staff and remained in the offices for seven hours until end of the working day when they were escorted out by the police. Writing in Stockholms Fria Tidning Mulder said that the protest had attracted support from several other organisations but expressed frustration with the lack of change and reaffirmed her belief in the necessity of civil disobedience. In January 2017 the group held a protest outside Sweden's Ministry of Health and Social Affairs but were prevented from entering by the police. YouTube Mulder makes video essays on a range of social and political issues from a historical perspective, Many, but not all, relate to transgender rights issues. Interviewed by Dagens Nyheter, she describes a great need for accessible coverage of humanities topics. Mulder has become the most popular Swedish left wing YouTuber and is often classified with the "BreadTube" or "LeftTube" label. She is ambivalent about this classification, expressing kinship with some of the other "BreadTube" channel creators while lampooning the idea of "BreadTube" itself. Mulder's videos are all in English and are more popular in the US, UK and Germany than in Sweden, where video essays are not widely popular. Interviewed following Lindsay Ellis's retirement from YouTube content creation, Mulder spoke about her attempts to avoid internet "drama" saying that she had to filter out transphobic comments made on her videos. Other activities Mulder co-hosts the medical history podcast Leechfest. She livestreams video games on Twitch and on her second YouTube channel. Personal life Mulder is a trans woman. She is bisexual.

Testify is a Southern Gospel/Contemporary Christian vocal band founded by two brothers, Kenneth Swanner and Brent Swanner in 1995. Testify has performed at the Southern Baptist Convention, multiple State Baptist Conventions, Gaither Homecoming Concerts, Chick-fil-a Corporate Headquarters, Theaters in Branson, at TBN, the Grand Ole Opry, GMT and in Nashville for a concert at Lifeway Christian Resource Center of the Southern Baptist Convention. In October 2001 Testify performed at the Roy Acuff Theater for the "Heal Our Land Benefit Concert" for the victims of 9/11. History Brent and Kenneth Swanner grew up in a musical family and started singing at an early age. Both were heavily involved in their church and school music programs. Out of college, Kenneth joined The Continental Singers and toured several years all over the world. Meanwhile, while Brent was performing in a school musical, he was discovered by Waine Self, founder of the Southern Gospel group, Higher Kingdom In 1994, Brent and Kenneth collaborated at a Youth Evangelism Conference and "Testify" was born. Brent and Kenneth officially formed "Testify" in February 1995. After months of concerts with just the two of them they added an old college buddy, Daniel Steele to sing the baritone. They recorded an Independent, Self Titled album at a local studio in 1995. In 1996 Testify won The Albert E Brumley Memorial Gospel Singing Contest in Springdale, AR. A year later Daniel Steele moved to bass and Philip Bergeron took over the baritone. In the meantime, Testify signed with Son Sound Music Group and recorded, Testify Self Titled, produced by Danny Funderburk of The Cathedral Quartet fame. Testify then released their first single ever, "Jesus Left Heaven for Me" and garnered major radio play and some chart success. In 1997 , Son Sound Music Group promoted Testify to their major label, Son Sound Masterpiece and Testify recorded Ready to Serve, produced by Danny Funderburk and Lari Goss. In 1999, Landon Thompson joined the group and Testify began working with Grammy Award nominee and Dove Award winning producer, Michael Sykes. Michael produced two recordings for Testify. They are called, Something Worth Living For and Keep Walking. Something Worth Living For included Testify's first ever Top 40 song, "He's Still Keeping Me". Testify and Michael Sykes second collaboration, Keep Walking, produced Testify's second Top 40 single, "Doubter To A Shouter". In 2004, with the release of The Highest Call, Testify changed their overall sound. In an effort to keep pushing the creative limits of the group, Testify enlisted Buddy Mullins, former member of The Mullins, The Gaither Vocal Band and Sunday Drive to produce. The first single from The Highest Call, "All It Takes Is A Shout", immediately entered the Top 40 on The Singing News chart. Testify's next single from The Highest Call, "In God We Trust", prompted a letter from then President, George W. Bush, to write Testify a letter thanking them for such a timely song. With the success of The Highest Call, Testify was nominated for the 2005 Diamond Award Trio of the Year and SGM Awards Trio of the Year. In addition to The Highest Call, Buddy Mullins went on to produce two more Testify recordings, Rhythm of Grace and Shine on Us Buddy's influence and comradery with the guys was undeniable. He became an honorary member of the group filling in for Kenneth Swanner at lead vocals when needed. The Farewell concert In 2012, Brent and Kenneth Swanner reevaluated the future of the ministry. After close to eighteen years together, Brent and Kenneth decide to announce their Farewell Tour. On November 17, 2012, they performed their final concert at First West (First Baptist Church West Monroe, LA), the city where Testify's 18-year journey first started. At that concert, various individuals (including family members, record producers, management, former members and Buddy Mullins contributions to Testify's ministry. Several former members and Buddy Mullins performed with Testify. To commemorate the Farewell Tour, Testify recorded their 13th and final album, Songs We Love to honor their Southern Gospel and CCM influences.

Musaeus of Marseilles (fl. c. 450) was a priest from Massilia. According to Gennadius, he died "during the reign of Leo and Majorian", that is, between 457 and 461. We know very little about his life. Apparently a prolific writer, he was also an esteemed preacher whose sermons were read for edification. We know that he put together a lectionary for Venerius, bishop of Marseilles, around 450 CE, and that he also prepared a responsorial and a sacramentary. The sacramentary was in fact a "sort of plenary missal", and is the earliest known of its kind. Biography Musaeus was active before the middle of the 5th century CE. He was born in Massilia, once part of a Greek colony in southern France. In a passage of his De Viris Illustribus, Gennadius described him thusly: Musaeus, priest of the church of Marseilles, a man learned in the Divine Scripture and refined by the most subtle exercise of its interpretation, schooled, also in the language, selected, at the urging of the holy bishop Venerius, readings from the Holy Writings appropriate to the feast days of the entire year and responsorial psalms (responsoria psalmorum capitula) appropriate to the season and to the readings. He probably put together this lectionary about 450. Gennadius goes on to state that this work proved indispensable for lectors in church. He also addressed to Eustathius, the successor of Venerius, an "excellent and sizable Book of Sacraments, divided into various sections according to the offices and time, according to the text of the reading, sequence of the psalms, and chanting, but proper for praying to God and asking for the multitude of His favours." This sacramentary showed his understanding and eloquence. It is probable that this work "at least contained directions for the divine office rather than prayers for the mass". The work has not survived. Gennadius also states that it was said that he also delivered homilies. References Ancient Massaliotes 4th-century Christian clergy 4th-century writers 4th-century deaths

Auchenblae distillery was a scotch whisky distillery in Auchenblae, Kincardine, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. History The distillery was created in 1895 in the former buildings of a spinning mill (itself built in 1795) beside Luther Water. The design of the new distillery facilities was carried out by Charles C. Doig. This included the building of a damn across the Luther Water, the fitting of a water-driven turbine generator for electricity and a new iron bridge to enable horse-drawn carts to reach the distillery. The distillery went into liquidation in 1916 and was acquired by Macdonlad Greenlees, Williams Ltd, before finally closing in 1930. While many of the distillery buildings have been demolished, the hydroelectric turbine remains as does a pagoda roof building in the village centre on Burnett Street.

Kṛṣṇa-Caitanya, The Hidden Treasure of India: His Life and His Teachings (originally in German Kṛṣṇa-Caitanya, Sein Leben und Seine Lehre) is the main work of the Austrian scientist, poet, writer, indologist, historian of religion, preacher of bhakti and guru of Gaudiya Vaishnavism Walther Eidlitz (1892-1976), also known as Vamandas (Sanskrit - Vāmandās, Devanagari - वामन्दास्). The book consists of two parts, with the first part (264 pages) being a kind of extensive introduction to the second one. The second part (287 pages) represents the biography of Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486-1534) composed of several translations of various earlier biographies: Chaitanya-Bhagavata by Vrindavana Dasa Thakura (1557), Kadacha by Murari Gupta (1540), Chaitanya-Chandrodaya-Nataka by Kavi Karnapura (1576), Chaitanya-Charitamrita by Krishnadasa Kaviraja (1614), Chaitanya-Chandramritam by Prabodhananda Sarasvati (1599) and other early sources. Translations are made respectively from Sanskrit and from medieval Bengali, predominantly West Bengali dialect. The followers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism consider Krishna Chaitanya to be the descent of the original supreme God, who, according to their understanding of the scriptures of Hinduism, is the divine couple in love – Radha and Krishna themselves. Therefore the first part of the book details the Hindu scriptures’ (Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam and esoteric scriptures of Gaudiya Vaishnavism) viewpoint on the essence of God and his various energies, elucidates the simultaneous multiplicity of God’s worlds, the nature of his lila (divine play) and his avataras (descents), describes the appearance of Krishna on Earth and the subtleties of the lila of Radha and Krishna and explains the process of bhakti yoga (selfless loving service to God), starting from the very initial stages and up to the most perfect one. All of this is presented in the first part of the book so that later on, reading the biography of Krishna Chaitanya (the second part), the reader can independently identify the events described, without needing the additional detailed comments, and thus not being distracted from what is happening. “Krishna-Caitanya” (560 pages) was originally published in German by Stockholm University (1968) as a part of the scientific series "Stockholm Studies in Comparative Religion" and was used in several universities throughout Europe. It is the first book on Chaitanya in German, the first complete exposition of Chaitanya's life and teachings in a European language, and so far (2022) remains the only university-commissioned translation of Chaitanya's biography. The book received positive reviews in the scientific community and Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) offered Walther Eidlitz his assistance in publishing "Krishna-Caitanya" in English in America. In 1975 Walther Eidlitz was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Lund for his scientific work and, above all, for his book “Krishna-Caitanya”. In 2014 “Krishna-Caitanya” was published in English and Swedish. The translations were prepared by a group of Walther Eidlitz’ friends. Nowadays, after the death of Walther Eidlitz, the copyright for the publication of the book "Krishna-Caitanya" belongs to Kid Samuelsson and Katrin Stamm. Uniqueness and method Walther Eidlitz' book is not just the first Western translation of Krishna Chaitanya’s biography published under the auspices of the university, it is also a unique compilation of the most important biographies of Chaitanya, which harmoniously complement each other, showing the reader a complete picture of Chaitanya's life from the description of his companions originating even before the appearance of Chaitanya on Earth and up to his departure from this world. Thus, published in English "Sri Chaitanya: His Life and Precepts" by Bhaktivinoda Thakur (1896), "The Career and Teachings of the Supreme Lord Sree Krishna-Chaitanya" by Nishikanta Sanyal (1934), “Sree Chaitanya” by Swami B.H. Bon (1940), "Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu" by Bhakti Pradip Tirtha (1947), "Teachings of Lord Caitanya" by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (1968), "Chaitanya: His life and doctrine" by A.K. Majumdar (1969), “The Philosophy and Religion of Sri Caitanya” by O.B.L. Kapoor (1976), “Sri Chaitanya`s Life And Teachings” by Steven J. Rosen (2017) as well as published in French “Caitanya et sa théorie de l’amour divin (prema)” by Sukumar Cakravarti (1933), “Chaitanya et la dévotion a Krishna” by Robert Sailley (1986) are the statements of philosophy and a retelling of a biography, but not the translations. In turn, the English translation of Chaitanya-Charitamrta by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (1974) as well as various translations of Chaitanya's biographies such as Chaitanya-Bhagavata, Chaitanya-mangala etc., are only the translations of these particular biographies. Why was it important to write namely a compilation from different sources? In fact the authors of early biographies were writing their works in different periods of time and were well aware of the biographies which had been already written by their predecessors. Therefore they did not include the detailed descriptions of the events which had already been displayed by the other authors— just because their contemporaries were similarly aware of them by reading the previous biographies. In case of the Western reader who was still new to the literature on Chaitanya (1962), it was necessary to create a kind of universal book, compiled from several biographies, taking the best passages from each of them. Because the Western reader was much less able to read all the major biographies of Chaitanya at once and put them together in the overall picture. In this regard, Walther Eidlitz' book is still unprecedented (2022). In the introduction to the book, the author makes his methodology very clear:„I have deliberately refrained from undertaking a critical evaluation of the authors’ theses or a comparative criticism of the texts. My attempt has been to vitalize the spirit of the sources and thus to create a foundation for an unbiased critical work about Krishna Chaitanya yet to be written. I had to confine myself to the works of the contemporary associates of Chaitanya and of the subsequent generation of disciples.<...> I wish to emphasize that the subject matter of the first part, as well as the small printed explanations within the text of the second part, do not reflect my personal opinions, but give the essence of what is expounded in the philosophical-theological parts of the Chaitanya-Charitamrita and in the manifold works often written on the request of Chaitanya by Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa Gosvami, Raghunatha Dasa, and Jiva Gosvami.“ (diacritics omitted) Writing The author himself believed that the book was started as soon as he arrived in India in 1938 and the whole work on it took 30 years. During the World War II he was imprisoned behind barbed wire in an Indian internment camp for German, Austrian and Italian citizens, where he met his bhakti-guru Sadananda (Ernst Georg Schulze, 1908-1977), a disciple of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati (1874-1937). In 1946 Sadananda writes to Vamandas (Walther Eidlitz): “I think it is time for us to make a beautiful book about the Lord of love [Chaitanya] and visit the lila-bhumi [lila places] of the Lord. But know that the reality there is much worse than the ideas we perceive from books." (3.5.46) After being released from the camp Vamandas was forced to leave India. He settles in Sweden, starts preaching bhakti on the radio, gives lectures, organizes summer bhakti courses, writes and publishes his first books on bhakti. Gradually a group of supporters and students forms around him. All this time Sadananda continues to help Vamandas by sending him materials for his books, translations from Hindu scriptures and explanations of philosophical and esoteric questions. In 1961 Sadananda had to return to Europe for health reasons. After recovering from the operation he immediately begins to help Vamandas with the work on a book about Chaitanya. So, in 1962 he writes to one of his friends: “I dictated to Vamandas all the material needed for a book about Chaitanya. Now he has everything to finish the book before Christmas." (5.4.62) Such an active correspondence, directly related to the work on the book, continues until its publication. Though the first Vamandas’ book on bhakti "Love of God" (1955) frustrated Sadananda tremendously, making him write several hundred (!) pages of corrections to it, since it abounded in fundamental philosophical errors, "Krishna-Caitanya" was thoroughly rechecked by him and only stylistic moments gave rise to cause for complaint. In general, the book really turned out the way it was once conceived. English translation The English translation was made by a group of Sadananda's students and their friends, viz. Mario Windish (Mandali Bhadra Das) - a former translator of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami's texts into German, Kid Samuelsson and Bengt Lundborg - the translators of "Krishna-Caitanya" into Swedish, and Katrin Stamm - an Indologist at the University of Flensburg and the manager of the archive of Sadananda's work and the spiritual works by Walther Eidlitz . Here is what the translators themselves have to say about the new edition of "Krishna-Caitanya":“It is a revised edition of Vamandas’ book, which includes later corrections by the author and some additional explanations and translations from the original sources, provided by his guru, Svami Sadananda Dasa. When we came across passages, we thought needed clarification, we made annotations in square brackets or added a translators’ note." Reviews After the release of the first edition prof. Ernst Benz (1907-1978) from the University of Marburg (Germany) wrote to Walther Eidlitz about his book “Krishna-Caitanya”:“I can only congratulate you sincerely that you have managed to combine the results of your rich studies in India and your insights into the sources – that are hardly or not at all available in Europe – into such a well fashioned overview. Moreover, I consider it a very significant achievement, that for the first time, as far as my modest knowledge of the matter is concerned, a realistic account of the historical personality of Chaitanya is presented. Especially in the Indian history of ideas most often the great personalities are completely covered by myths. No less rewarding is your successful translation of the teachings of Chaitanya into a form that is accessible to our German language and concepts of philosophy of religion.” [English translation] Prof. Jan Gonda (1905-1991), the famous Indologist from the University of Utrecht (Netherlands), named “Krishna-Caitanya” a “very valuable work”. Prof. Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) the historian of religion, writer and philosopher from the University of Chicago (USA), suggested to assist to publish the English translation of “Krishna-Caitanya”. The Swedish academic, humanist and philosopher Alf Ahlberg (1892-1979) wrote in his review about “Krishna-Caitanya”: “Of course, only professional linguists can have a well-founded opinion about the quality of translations, and these translations have received the highest praise from them, also the work itself has been described as one of the most remarkable works on the history of religions published in our country in the last twenty years. The layman reader has the definite impression that in these translations and in the other parts of the book the scientist and the poet have entered into a happy union… The author is not an unknown man. He has previously published a number of fascinating books, both about his personal experiences in India and about Hinduism in Swedish. Unfortunately, they are all out of date, although they are in high demand. But the work now mentioned is his magnum opus. It is the fruit of thirty years of research, nine of which were spent in India, where Eidlitz studied from native teachers, associated in close friendship with prominent representatives of the devotional tradition, to which Chaitanya belongs, and even during his long stay in our country was in constant contact with them.” [English translation]Not only Indologists but also other followers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism warmly welcomed the book of Vamandas. The famous guru and preacher of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the West A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (1896-1977) spoke highly of Walther Eidlitz's book and called it authoritative:“You know that I have got already one German God-brother [Sadananda], and he has influenced another German scholar, Vamana dasa [Walther Eidlitz], who has written a very nice book on Lord Chaitanya, in German.”In his review of the English edition of Krishna-Chaitanya, a Gaudiya Vaishnavism researcher and student of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Steven J. Rosen (born 1955) writes:“I remember reading, years ago, how the original German edition was used as a text at universities throughout Europe, and I noticed that it was quoted in numerous books by eminent scholars from around the world. Indeed, it was one of the first and only books on Sri Chaitanya in a European language at the time, making Mahaprabhu and His teachings available to the Western world in both academic language and through the lens of a believing Vaishnava… So, it should be clear that Prabhupada [Bhaktivedanta Svami] thought fondly of both teacher and student, Sadananda and Eidlitz, and had even specifically praised Eidlitz’s work on Sri Chaitanya. As a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, I can think of no better endorsement.” Influence In addition to the fact that Walther Eidlitz' book is represented in many university libraries and is still used by students and teachers, it is important to note the profound impact the book still has on those who are interested in Hinduism, Gaudiya Vaishnavism and bhakti in the West, without seeking participation in any formally organised religion, since "Krishna-Caitanya" is a universal textbook on bhakti, the first part of which is theoretical and the second is practical. All the ideas and confirmations from the scriptures (shastras) needed for the practice of bhakti are collected here, in one place, and presented in the form of clear structure. Moreover, despite the fact that Walther Eidlitz was quite popular and that he gave esoteric spiritual initiation into the mantras of Gaudiya Vaishnavism (so-called Vaishnava diksha) to some of his friends, he never created any organization around him. The idea of transmitting sacred knowledge, the so-called bhagavata-marga, is based in his view, as well as in the view of his guru Sadananda, and in the view of the Sadananda’s guru Bhaktisiddhanta, etc., on spiritual knowledge itself and not on the sacrament of initiation (i.e. pancaratrika-marga). That is why the only spiritual heritage of Walther Eidlitz is his books on bhakti and first of all "Krishna-Caitanya" - the crown of his life's efforts. Due to the missionary work of many other preachers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the West, such as A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (1896-1977), Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaj (1921-2010) etc., the interest of the Western reader in the personality of Chaitanya, and the philosophy and practice of bhakti continues to grow: now this topic is of interest not only to scientists. Therefore, Walther Eidlitz' book continues to be relevant to this day (2022). The first part of the book gives the reader a kind of theoretical training, the so-called sambandha-jnana. While reading the second part, the reader can simultaneously carry out the fundamental practice of bhakti yoga, i.e. perceive the original source about the lila of God (the so-called shravana process), as well as comprehend and ponder what has been read (the so-called smarana process). Content The Introduction describes the history of the book. The following is a scheme of the correct pronunciation of Sanskrit, including stresses. The Preface provides an overview of the literature on Chaitanya and describes the main difficulties associated with the choice of the early sources. I. The first part of the book consists of four sections, gradually preparing the reader for the perception of Chaitanya-lila. (There are given 680 verses from the Shastras.) In the first section the theoretical foundations for understanding the lila (play) of God are given. 1.1 Above all the essence of God Himself in accordance with Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Upanishad, Gita, Bhagavatam, Puranas and Gaudiya Vaishnava writings, such as Shikshashtaka, Hari-bhakti-vilasa and Chaitanya Charitamrta is described. 1.2 Then according toVishnu Purana, the nature of His energy (shakti) is explained. 1.2.1 First of all this energy manifests itself as His personal internal energy, namely Vishnu-shakti, described in accordance with Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Vishnu Purana, Tattva- and Priti-sandarbhas of Jiva Goswami as a centripetal, attracting to the God’ s service energy. 1.2.2 Moreover it manifests itself as maya-shakti, a centrifugal force, that distracts from service to God as the center of all being. With all its aspects and three gunas, it is described in accordance with Gita and Bhagavatam. 1.2.3 In addition the energy of God manifests itself as countless jiva-atmas, i.e. tatastha-shakti. The position of these smallest sparks of consciousness and their relationship (achintya-bheda-abheda) with other aspects of the energy of God are described in accordance with Mundaka Upanishad, Chandogya Upanishad, Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Gita, Bhagavatam, Brihad-bhagavatamrta, Chaitanya-charitamrta. 1.3. Then according to Rig Veda, Atharva Veda, Katha Upanishad, Chandogya Upanishad, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Taittiriya Upanishad, Gita, Bhagavatam, Brahma Samhita, the eternal immaterial realm of God, consisting of His personal energy, Vishnu-shakti, is described. 1.3.1 This is followed by description of the highest and the most secret of the God's kingdoms (Vrndavana) according to Padma Purana. 1.3.2 Then, according to the point of view of Sanatana, Rupa and Jiva Gosvami, the simultaneous multitude of innumerable omnipresent eternal God's kingdoms (Vaikuntha), where God resides in His innumerable eternal forms, are explained. 1.4 After that it tells about the eternal lila (game) of God. 1.4.1 First the so-called external lila of God, the lila of emanation, maintenance and destruction of material universes, is explained in accordance with Rig Veda, Upanishads, Gita and Bhagavatam. 1.4.2 The role of Brahma, the architect of the universe, according to Gita, Puranas, Bhagavatam, Brihad-bhagavatamrita and Chaitanya-charitamrta, as well as the four foundational verses (so-called chatur-shloka) of the Bhagavatam are explained further. 1.4.3 Then the so-called inner lila of God, not connected to the emergence, maintenance and destruction of the material world, is explained in accordance with Brahma Sutras, Bhagavatam, Brahma Samhita and Chaitanya Chandrodayam. (115 verses from the Shastras are given.) The second section describes the lila of God on Earth, when the events of God's eternal inner lila periodically gets visible in this world. 2.1 First according to Gita, Bhagavatam, Gita Govinda, Ramayana, Mahabharata and Nrsimha Purva Tapaniya Upanishad it is explained what the avataras of God are, when different forms of God get visible in this world. Purusha avataras, guna avataras, manvantara avataras, avesa avataras and lila avataras are explained. The lila of Rama and the lila of Narasimha are described, including the dialogue between Prahlada and Narasimha from Bhagavatam, which is extremely important from the point of view of bhakti. 2.2 Then in accordance with Gita, the birth of the unborn avatari, the source of all avataras, Krishna, is explained. 2.3 After that description of the appearance of Krishna on Earth is given. First in Mathura, according to Bhagavatam. 2.4 Then a detailed description of His appearance in Vraja (Gokula), in accordance with Bhagavatam and Gopala-champu by Jiva Gosvami is given. 2.5 Then as per Bhagavatam, Gopala-champu and Ananda-Vrndavana-champu of Kavi Karnapura, a detailed description of the so-called Damodara-lila of Krishna, in six parts (actually being a translation of passages from the above mentioned sources) is given, which is also connected with Krishna's parents as the first lila . 2.6 Then the other eternal associates of Krishna in Vraja are described — the gopas, friends of Krishna, and the gopis, Krishna's beloved girlfriends. According to Bhagavatam and Rupa Goswami's Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, the various pastimes of Krishna in Vrindavan are described: the killing of demons, and which kind of anarthas (obstacles to bhakti) they represent; Putana-lila, Kaliya-lila, Govardhana-lila etc., as well as Brahma-mohana-lila and prayers of Brahma. According to the Bhagavatam and Chaitanya-charitamrta, the nature of the relationship between the gopis and Krishna is explained. 2.7 Further, in accordance with the Bhagavatam, Gita-Govinda and Chaitanya-charitamrta, the highest position of Radha among all the gopis and the meaning of rasa-lila are explained. Here the relationship between Radha, other chief gopis and Krishna is explained in detail. 2.8 Further as per Bhagavatam, Brhad-bhagavatamrita, Ujjvala-nilamani by Rupa Gosvami and Krishna-sandarbha by Jiva Gosvami, the state of Radha in separation from Krishna is explained in detail. The meeting of the gopis with Krishna at Kurukshetra is described. Then the Krishna's return to Vraja and the return of Vraja-Krishna with His associates to Goloka are described, and the explanations by Jiva Gosvami are given. 2.9 After that Uddhava is discussed and the most important for bhakti topics of the so-called Uddhava-gita (Bhagavatam, 11), in particular the highest position of the gopis, are explained. 2.10 In conclusion, a definition and a brief explanation of the process of bhakti, i.e. loving service to God, is given, in accordance with the way it is presented in Bhagavatam. (395 verses from the Shastras are given.) The third section describes the process of bhakti and all its stages in detail. 3.1 First in accordance with Gita, Bhagavatam and Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, bhakti is separated from more primitive processes such as karma yoga, jnana yoga, etc. 3.2 Then the stage of sadhana-bhakti is described in detail (vidhi-bhakti) according to the words of Krishna in Bhagavatam and the five main forms of sadhana-bhakti according to Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. As per Vaishnava Tantra, the self-surrender of a bhakta to God, i.e., sharanagati, is described. Further, shraddha, i.e. faith in the eternal seva of God, as the seed of bhakti is described . The gradual development of bhakti to God in His majestic aspect of Narayana (aishvarya) beginning with shraddha is described in accordance with Tripad-vibhuti-Mahanarayana Upanishad. The development of bhakti to Krishna (in madhurya) is described in accordance with Bhagavatam’s verses 1.2.17-21 (shraddha-nishtha-asakti-prema-rasa). It explains how many lifetimes the process of evolution of bhakti can take. 3.3 Further as per Bhagavata and Priti-sandarbha by Jiva Gosvami, the next stage of bhava-bhakti, i.e. priti, following asakti, is explained and the signs of this stage are also given. 3.4 Then according to Rupa Gosvami's Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu and Jiva Gosvami's Bhakti-sandarbha, the stage of prema-bhakti, five main sthayi-bhavas and seven additional ones, as well as rasa as direct service to God during the meeting of prema-bhakta with Him are explained. 3.5 Further rasa is explained in more detail according to Bhagavatam. 3.5.1 First an explanation of worldly rasa as a sensory or aesthetic experience according to Agni Purana and Sahitya Darpana is given. Then according to Bhagavatam and Jiva Gosvami the difference between mundane rasa and the cit-rasa of prema-bhakti is explained. Then on the basis of Taittiriya Upanishad, Gita Govinda, Murari Gupta's Kadacha and Chaitanya Bhagavata it is proved that the term bhakti-rasa was not introduced by Rupa Gosvami, but was known to the sampradaya (esoteric tradition) long before the appearance of Chaitanya. 3.5.2 After that according to Rupa Gosvami the 33 sanchari-bhavas (cit-emotions) of prema-bhakti are explained and described. 3.5.3 Then a description of the eight sattvika-bhavas (external uncontrolled manifestations of emotions) is given. 3.5.4 Then 13 anubhavas are described, i.e. external manifestations of emotions, which are conscious to bhakta, and the issue of imitation of these manifestations is also discussed. 3.5.5 The term ragatmika-bhakti (bhakti of the eternal associates of God) is further explained and as per Padma Purana and Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu the process of raganuga-bhakti is described as a kind of sadhana-bhakti driven by the desire to serve certain eternal companions of God. Then according to Krishnahnika-kaumudi by Kavi Karnapura, the practice of concentrating on the twenty-four-hour Ashta-kala-lila introduced by Chaitanya is explained and, in accordance with Jiva Goswami, the 5 levels of smarana are described, it is also explained how sphurana, i.e. revelation takes place. 3.6 The further development of prema after attaining the eternal body in the lila of God is described in detail, especially the prema of the gopis, which reaches the highest states of prema, namely: samartha-prema, sneha, mana, pranaya, raga, anuraga and mahabhava. According to Bhagavatam and Ujjvala-nilamani the highest levels of mahabhava are described, which can be achieved respectively by Krishna, the gopis, or only Radha. (145 verses from the Shastras are given.) In the fourth section, which is actually an introduction to the second part of the book, it is told about Chaitanya Himself. 4.1 First a historical overview is given about the time in which the lila of Chaitanya is taking place. 4.2 Then the identity of Chaitanya is explained from the point of view of early biographical sources about Him: in the course of his lila Chaitanya manifests Himself as Radha and Krishna, then as Lakshmi and Narayana, then as Parvati and Shiva, etc. etc. Further, such manifestations of Chaitanya as gurus, bhaktas of God, God Himself, His avataras, His prakashas (eternal expansions of God, possessing more energy than avataras, such as Balarama) and His shakti (energy). It explains His nature of a secret avatara and which states of His eternal existence He manifested in various periods of His lila on Earth. 4.2.1 The most important associates of Chaitanya are described further. 4.2.2 Then Chaitanya is described according to the Chaitanya-chandramrta as a yuga avatara of the Kali Yuga. 4.3 In conclusion the lila of Chaitanya is explained in accordance with the Chaitanya-charitamrita as the new eternal lila of Radha-Krishna.

Christ and the Woman of Samaria is a 1637 painting by the Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, depicting a story from the New Testament. It is part of a private collection in Palermo. Subject Matter The story of the Samaritan woman is told in the Gospel of John. A woman leans eagerly forward in conversation with Jesus, in contrast to the typical portrayal of the time which showed the woman sitting passively listening to a monologue. It is one of the few works by Gentileschi with a full landscape. The disciples of Jesus can be seen in the background, walking out of the walled city. The vibrant colors of the figures' clothes and the detailed landscape became associated with the work she produced during this period in Naples. Provenance Correspondence from Gentileschi indicates that she was trying to sell two paintings to Cardinal Francesco Barberini in 1637, one of which was a "Woman of Samaria". This work was recently discovered in a private collection and identified at that painting. The work apparently never reached Barberini and its history is otherwise undocumented.

Miqan Wetland is a wetland located in Markazi province, Iran. In years with good rainfall, the wetland has significant water level and in the years with less rain, the surface of the wetland generally dries and becomes a desert. The height of the wetland is 1700 meters above sea level and the water inside of it varies in different seasons. Miqan is supplied from different water sources such as rainfall, water of three rivers known as Qarah Kahriz (Koohrood) River, Farahan River, Shahrab River, and Arak ‘s wastewater treatment sewage. The area of the wetland is about 25,000 hectares, which includes a lake with three islands in the middle and the surrounding plains. Archaeologically, the wetland's formation dates back to the Paleocene, which was due to the movement of the surrounding tectonic plates of the earth. The Miqan Wetland has special ecological features, including the fact that it hosts a large number of migratory birds each year, among which some rare and protected species can be seen. This wetland has become one of the most important environments in the country due to the high population of Gruidaes (Grus). The vegetation of the region is more of saline plants or halophytes, which makes the wetland an important resource of halophytes in the country. In addition to birds, mammal species, artemia (brine shrimps), and saltwater algae are other living things in the wetland and its surroundings. Location Miqan Wetland with an area of 25,000 hectares is located 15 km northeast of Arak city and in the south of Davoodabad city. It is next to Rahzan, Deh Namak, and Miqan villages. The catchment area of the wetland varies between 10,000 -12,000 hectares depending on the amount of the absorbed water. Its average altitude is 1700 meters above sea level and its annual rainfall is 258 mm. The water level of the wetland (in different seasons of the year) reaches to 140 cm. History Miqan Wetland is one of the last ecological plains in Arak. All of the region's water pours into it. In terms of tectonics, the wetland has two large mountainous sides and a sedimentary plain in the middle. The wetland looks like a valley that has sunk along two faults. According to experts, the wetland is estimated to be 2000 years old. The history of the formation of the region dates back to the Paleocene. References Wetlands of Iran

Libeert (previously known as Italo Suisse and ISIS) is a Belgian chocolate producer that was founded by Joseph Dequeker in 1923. The company produces more than 5,000 tons of chocolate annually, with a revenue of roughly €35 million. History Early years After visiting Italy and Switzerland and learning about chocolate artisanship, Joseph Dequeker founded Italo Suisse in 1923 in Izegem, Belgium. Supposedly, many locals knew of it as the "Het Chocoladefabriekske" ("The Little Chocolate Factory" in Dutch). In the 1930s, the operation was moved slightly westward from Izegem to Roeselare. Location move At one point, Libeert moved its headquarters southward into the border municipality of Comines-Warneton. Name changes In 2013, as Italo Suisse, the company changed its name to ISIS, an acronym of the previous name repeated twice and after the Egyptian goddess Isis, as people mistook them as a Italian or Swiss company due to their ambiguous name. However, when the Islamic State gained international attention, the company suffered a drop in sales in the Anglophone World, causing them to lose roughly between €50,000 to €100,000. In 2014, they issued the new name of Libeert, after the family that owns the company. References External links Belgian chocolate companies Belgian companies established in 1923

Again She Orders..."A Chicken Salad, Please" was a 1921 advertisement for the two-volume Book of Etiquette, both book and advertising campaign written by Lillian Eichler Watson starting while she was still in her teens. Eichler was hired by Ruthrauf & Ryan in 1919. One of her first assignments was to write an ad selling the remaining copies of the pre-1900 Encyclopedia of Etiquette by Eleanor Holt. Her campaign was so successful that the original book's publisher, Doubleday, asked her to rewrite the book and create a campaign for the updated version. Eichler created "Again She Orders..."A Chicken Salad Please" for the revised book, retitled as The Book of Etiquette. The advertisement portrayed the plight of a young woman who, on a date with a man she wants to impress, doesn't know how to order dinner in a fancy restaurant, which Victor Schwab said was effective because it "capsulized a common and embarrassing situation." The ad has been described as "sensationally successful" and has been included in Julian Watkins's The 100 Greatest Advertisements in its dozens of editions from the first in 1949 through the most recent in 2013. Schwab in 1962 noted that the ad was "so noteworthy and memorable" that the headline was still part of everyday speech. "The chicken-salad girl" became a national reference point. Other headlines from the campaign also were often quoted, including "What's Wrong in This Picture?", "Why I Cried After the Ceremony", "May She Invite Him into the House?", and "Suppose This Happened on Your Wedding Day?"

Al Misri (Arabic: المصري; The Egyptian) was an Arabic newspaper which was published in Cairo, Egypt, between 1936 and 1954. The paper was one of the most read newspapers during its lifetime and closed down by the Egyptian authorities on 4 May 1954. History and profile Al Misri was established by Karim Thabit, Muhammad Al Taba and Mahmoud Abu Al Fath in 1936. Elie Politi, a leading Jewish businessman, also assisted the foundation of the paper. Soon after its start Mahmoud Abu Al Fath bought the paper for a few thousand dollars and made it an official media outlet of the Wafd Party. Mahmoud Abu Al Fath's younger siblings worked at the paper: Hussein Abu Al Fath was the managing editor, and Ahmad Abu Al Fath was the editor of Al Misri. Following the acquisition of the paper by Mahmoud Abu Al Fath Al Misri sold 100,000 copies, making it both a financial success and an influential political force. It also became a competitor of Al Ahram. In July 1939 the houses of the editors of the paper were searched on the orders of the public prosecutor due to the fierce opposition of the Waft Party against the government. During the same period Al Misri was among the ardent critics of the Muslim Brotherhood which began to gain more members in the society. Beginning with World War II the Egyptian government restricted the page number of all papers, including Al Misri, to six pages due to the shortage of paper. Although the war ended and the paper supply was improved, the page number of the newspapers was set at eight pages by the government. As of 1950 the page number of Al Misri was twelve. The affiliation of Al Misri with the Wafd Party weakened after World War II. However, it did not completely disappear, and the paper published numerous articles supporting the North African independence in line with the party policies in 1947. In May 1954 the Fath brothers were accused of being disloyal to the national interests following the publication of several articles in Al Misri demanding Gamal Abdel Nasser to follow the policies of the Wafd Party. The paper was also banned on 4 May 1954. Soon after the closure of Al Misri its publishing facilities were used for the publication of the state-run newspaper Al Gomhuria which was launched the same year.

The Bessarabia Governorate () was an administrative unit of Romania during World War II. Background and history In 1812, the region of Bessarabia, lying between the Prut and Dniester rivers and historically part of the principality of Moldavia, was annexed by the Russian Empire. This marked the start of a strong process of Russification and colonization of Bessarabia which severely dwindled the presence of the Romanian population. If in 1817 Moldavians were 86% of the population, in 1897 they were only 56%. Previously, Moldavia had also lost the region of Bukovina, annexed in 1775 by the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy. In 1859, this country united with another Romanian principality, Wallachia, creating the first modern Romanian state. Later, in 1917, during World War I to which Romania had joined in order to gain several Romanian-populated regions, the Russian Revolution sparked, and this allowed Bessarabia to declare itself as independent, forming the Moldavian Democratic Republic. Following a Romanian military intervention in the region, on 27 March 1918, Bessarabia united with Romania. This event would become the reason of discord between Romania and the newly formed Soviet Union (USSR). During the interwar period, Romania focused on trying to defend and secure its new borders with the help of France and the United Kingdom (UK), but at the start of World War II, Romania was left vulnerable, and in a 1940 ultimatum, the Soviet Union demanded and captured Bessarabia, as well as Northern Bukovina as "compensation" for the "great loss brought to the Bessarabian population". Following this, Romania was forced to accept Hitler's mediation that resulted in territorial losses to Hungary and Bulgaria and later became a member of the Axis powers. The Axis would invade the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, but Romanian military actions only began on 2 July. After a few weeks, Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina were recaptured and integrated back into Romania. Subsequently, the Transnistria Governorate would also be established, although it was never formally annexed unlike the other two regions. Despite the fact that Bukovina and Bessarabia were already under Romanian control again, it was decided that the regions would not be fully integrated within the country, but that they would rather remain as autonomous regions ruled by a governor (governorates). The new Bessarabia Governorate was organized in nine counties, which were Bălți, Cetatea Albă, Cahul, , Ismail, Lăpușna, Orhei, Soroca and Tighina. The capital of this governorate was Chișinău, in the Lăpușna County. It did not include the interwar Hotin County in the northern part of the geographic region of Bessarabia, which was attached to the Bukovina Governorate instead. The Bessarabia Governorate had two governors: and . As soon as Romanian troops entered Bessarabia in 1941, they began a campaign to exterminate the local Jews, which amounted to 122,000 at the beginning of the Romanian administration. The order was given by the Conducător ("Leader") of Romania Ion Antonescu of his own accord and under no German pressure. Special teams instigated the locals to kill Jews on their own and, when this failed, special orders were delivered to local garrisons to have them executed. The Romanian Army's campaign of ethnic cleansing in Bessarabia was already in place by 6 July 1941, when 500 Jews were killed in the town of Edineț, reaching Chișinău by 17 July 1941, when several thousands were killed on a single day. The army was joined by the Romanian Gendarmerie, which received orders to "exterminate on the spot all Jews in rural areas" and "imprison in ghettos all Jews in urban areas". Jews turned over to the gendarmes by the army had no chance of survival and were shot immediately. On 11 July 1941, the Einsatzgruppen D started its own extermination campaign in Bălți, and by mid-August, the unit had murdered 4,425 Jews in the northern part of Bessarabia. As the Romanians left corpses unburied whenever they plundered, raped or fired shots in the streets and received bribes from Jews, the Nazis issued letters, protests and orders decrying the lack of organization and planning. Beginning with 24 July 1941, a parallel campaign of deporting the surviving Jews across the Dniester began. The convoys of deportees were not provided with food or water and had to sleep in improvised camps surrounded by barbed wire in the middle of a plowed field. Hundreds of Jews were pushed into the Dniester and whoever attempted to climb out was shot. As the Germans refused to allow the transit of Jews across the river, several ghettos were set up across Bessarabia, hosting about 80,000 Jews by late August 1941. 25,000 of them would die in these camps, characterized by forced labor, corruption, hunger, plunder, suffering, rapes, executions and epidemics; before death marches across the Dniester were resumed after an agreement with Nazi Germany on 30 August 1941. Consequently, 55,867 Jews from Bessarabia were deported into Transnistria. The killings, along deportations, continued until October 1941, when all Jews had been removed from Bessarabia. More than 45,000 Jews, likely 60,000, were killed in Bessarabia and Bukovina. Furthermore, until 15 November 1943, between 104,522 and 120,810 Romanian citizens of Jewish ethnicity or descent originating in Bessarabia, Bukovina and the Old Kingdom died in Transnistria as a result of typhus, hunger, cold or straightforward murder. At first, Ion Antonescu had become convinced that Nazi Germany would win the war. This was up to the Battle of Stalingrad, which resulted in defeat for the Axis. He realized after this that German victory would not be possible and began to reinforce the east of the country. The ensuing evolution of the war made Antonescu make an evacuation plan for the Bessarabia Governorate, as well as for the Bukovina Governorate, the rest of the region of Moldavia and the Transnistria Governorate. This plan was named "Operation 1111", and it was divided in three suboperations, which were "Operation 1111 A" for Bessarabia and Transnistria, "Operation 1111 B" for Bukovina and "Operation 1111 M" for the rest of Moldavia. In the end, a coup in 1944 ended with the overthrow of Antonescu by King Michael I and Romania changed sides and joined the Allies, giving up Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union "in exchange" for the recovery of Northern Transylvania from Hungary and marking the end of the Bessarabia Governorate.

After his mother's death, Adam Albert would marry Archduchess Maria Luisa of Habsburg-Lorraine, Napoleon's widow and daughter of Emperor Franz II, thus acquiring the title of Count of Neipperg. His elder brother was Count . Neipperg's first marriage was with the cantess Henriette von Waldstein-Wartenberg ( 1823 - 1845 ), who however died after a few months of marriage, and his second marriage was at in Gorizia with Princess Rosa von Lobkowitz, sister of Georg Christian von Lobkowitz and descendant of one of the oldest and most noble families of the Bohemian aristocracy. His wedding witness was Count , governor of Veneto . They had three children: Count Reinhard (1856-1919), married Countess Gabriele Ida von Waldstein-Wartenberg. Anna Berta (1857-1932), married Prince Ferdinand Zdenko von Lobkowitz. Maria Hedwig (1859-1916), married Count Franz Xavier von Königsegg-Aulendorf. Military career Neipperg completed military studies and after the death of his father acquired, in coregency with his brothers Alfred, Ferdinand and Gustav, lead the village of Schwaigern with its annexation of Burg Neipperg, the hunting grounds in Kleingartach, Bönningheim and Erlingheim as well as lands in Schwaigern and a forest near Neipperg. In 1833, he and his brothers closed a trust on the succession, which gave all the property to the eldest son and regulated the succession in the event of the termination of a line of descendants. Neipperg served for a long time in the Imperial Austrian Army as a cavalry officer in the garrison in Parma, where his stepmother Maria Luisa resided. He was promoted to colonel in 1848 and was commander of the Austrian garrison in Parma. He found himself to stem the weak insurrectional uprisings that took place in Parma and to support the heir to the throne, Carlo III of Parma. Subsequently, with the rank of cavalry general, he participated in the battles of the First Italian War of Independence, distinguishing himself in Morozzo and Custoza. Subsequently, he was military governor of Gorizia until 1865 as he left to become Colonel-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Württemberg and in 1863, he had been appointed lieutenant general. Fiercely anti-Prussian and supporter of a federation of German states led by the Austrian Empire, Neipperg participated in the Austro-Prussian War at the head of the 8th Austrian army corps of 7,900 men. On 14 July 1866, due to the pleas of Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine for Austrian support in the Campaign of the Main, he clashed with the troops of the Prussian general August Karl von Goeben near Aschaffenburg. The Prussians, in clear numerical superiority with 16,600 men, won a crushing victory over Neipperg's troops that forced the Austrians, now decimated, to a hasty flight. Neipperg, after having been military commander of Bratislava and Vienna, left the Imperial Austrian Army and for some years served as head of the local militia of the Kingdom of Württemberg, leaving all military posts in 1878. In 1873 he had been awarded by Franz Joseph of Austria, the knighthood of the Order of the Golden Fleece. He also received the Order of the Gold Lion of the House of Nassau from Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxembourg. References Bibliography Immo Eberl: Die Herren und Grafen von Neipperg.

Marie Garstang, born Marie Louise Bergès, (1880 near Toulouse - 25 Jul 1949 maybe in Formby) was a British archaeologist. Biography In 1907, Marie married the British archaeologist and orientalist John Garstang and from then on shared her husband's fieldwork, especially in Sudan, Egypt and the Near East. “It is difficult to determine the extent of her contribution to her husband's work. Her working relationship with John may have been one of intellectual collaboration, mutual interest and respect. She is mentioned in the introductions to John Garstang's publications and in his 1934 Jericho field report, John acknowledges Mary for her expertise in ceramic conservation.” During the third excavation session at Meroë (1911-1912), Marie Garstang joined her husband and Horst Schliephack on the excavation field. She can be seen with her husband examining fragments of a statue in the tank of the “Royal Baths” in Meroë in 1913. Marie Garstang was mainly responsible for assembling fragments from the excavations and many of the pieces on display in the Garstang Museum of Archaeology are the result of her work. Marie served as a nurse with the Voluntary Aid Detachment during the World War I. During a lecture before the Society of Antiquaries in 1947, on his work at Mersin, John Garstang publicly paid tribute to his wife for all the assistance she had given him during his working years. “Whilst in England, Marie and John Garstang lived in Formby, near Liverpool, where Marie died in 1949. John died some years later, in Beirut, on the return journey from a holiday cruise. It was 1956 and he was eighty years old. John and Marie had two children, John Berges Garstang who died in 1965, aged 57 years, and, Meroe Fleming (born Garstang), who died in 1994 at the of 79 years.” References 1880 births 1949 deaths 20th-century French women 20th-century British women Women archaeologists

Ibn Wāṣil (AD 1208–1298 ) was a Syrian judge, scholar and writer. He was a courtier and diplomat of the Ayyubids and their successors, the Mamlūks. Although trained as a religious scholar, in his own time he was renowned as a logician and today is most famous as a historian, especially of the Ayyubids. He also wrote works on poetry, medicine and astronomy. Life Abū ʿAbd Allāh Jamāl al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Sālim ibn Naṣr Allāh ibn Sālim ibn Wāṣil, commonly known simply as Ibn Wāṣil, was born in Ḥamā on 20 April 1208. His father was the qāḍī (judge) of Ḥamā and later al-Maʿarra, and worked as a mudarris (teacher) at the school known as the Nāṣiriyya by the Golden Gate in Jerusalem. He studied under his father. When the latter was away on the Ḥajj from 1227 to 1229, he took over some of his duties at the Nāṣiriyya. He witnessed the siege of Damascus in the spring of 1229. In 1230–1231, he studied in Damascus and Aleppo, where he was taught by Ibn Shaddād. His main education was a religious one. He studied fiqh (jurisprudence) and ḥadīth (tradition), and issued opinions as a muftī. In 1232, Ibn Wāṣil joined the court of al-Nāṣir Dāʾūd, emir of Karak. There he studied under Shams al-Dīn al-Khusrūshāhī. In 1234, he joined the court of al-Muẓaffar II, emir of Ḥamā, who ordered him to help ʿAlam al-Dīn Qayṣar in constructing an astronomical observatory and an astrolabe. In 1236, he returned to Damascus, the ruled by the Emir Ḥusām al-Dīn ibn Abī ʿAlī, who became his patron. In 1243–1244, Ibn Wāṣil travelled with his relative Ibn Abi ʾl-Dam first to Baghdad and thence to Cairo. In Egypt, he studied under the physician Ibn al-Nafīs. In 1252, he performed the Ḥajj in the company of Ḥusām al-Dīn ibn Abī ʿAlī. He returned to Cairo. In August 1261, he was sent sent by the Sultan Baybars on an embassy to King Manfred of Sicily. He met Manfred in Barletta. In 1264 or 1265, he moved back to Ḥamā, where he was appointed chief qāḍī. He spent most of his time writing. He was blind in old age, dying aged 93 years according to the Islamic calendar. Works Ibn Wāṣil wrote in Arabic. He wrote four works on logic, only two of which survive; four works of history; two works on poetry; and works on philosophical theology, astronomy and medicine, the last two being lost. Ibn Wāṣil belonged to the "western" school of logic associated with Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. In his work against logic, Ibn Taymiyya referred to Ibn Wāṣil as a "leading philosopher". His works on logic include two commentaries on the work of the Egyptian logician al-Khūnajī. The commentary on al-Khūnajī's al-Jumal fiʾl-manṭiq ('The Sum of Logic') was his most popular logical work and survives in four manuscript, including three bearing the dates AH 680 (AD 1281), 738 (1337–1338) and 746 (1345). The other commentary on al-Khūnajī does not survive. Ibn Wāṣil also wrote a logical treatise, al-Risāla al-anbrūriyya ('The Imperial Treatise'), for King Manfred of Sicily. This survives in a single manuscript from 1281 under the title Nukhbat al-fikar fī tathqīf al-naẓar. Ibn Wāṣil later revised this treatise under the title Nukhbat al-fikar fiʾl-manṭiq ('The Pick of Reflection on Logic'). The first of Ibn Wāṣil's histories is Taʾrīkh al-Ṣāliḥī ('The Ṣāliḥī History'), a general history of Islam from the time of Muḥammad to the year AH 636/637 (AD 1239/1240). It was first dedicated to Sultan al-Ṣāliḥ Najm al-Dīn Ayyūb sometime between 1244 and 1249, and then re-dedicated to al-Muʿaẓẓam Tūrānshāh after the death of al-Ṣāliḥ in 1249. The second is Naẓm al-durar fi ʾl-ḥawādith wa ʾl-siyar, dedicated to Sultan Tūrānshāh (1249–1250). The third is Mufarrij al-kurūb fī akhbār Banī Ayyūb ('The Dissipater of Anxieties on the Reports of the Ayyubids'), a history of the Ayyubids down to 1263 and his most valuable work for later historians. It was written at Ḥamā between 1272 and 1285. Although ending in 1263, it contains a reference to the battle of Benevento in 1266. It survives in four incomplete manuscripts, but the complete text can be reconstructed from these. Ibn Wāṣil wrote two works on poetry. The Tajrīd al-Aghānī (or Mukhtaṣar al-Aghānī) is a summary of the 10th-century Kitāb al-aghānī, a collection of poems performed at various courts. It was commissioned by the Emir al-Manṣūr II during Ibn Wāṣil's later period at Ḥamā. Three manuscript copies are known. He also wrote a commentary on a work on Arabic prosody by his teacher Ibn al-Ḥājib. Two copies are known, but the work spawned a series of commentaries in the following century. Although he received a religious education, Ibn Wāṣil's interest lay in the rational sciences. His only work on religion falls in the realm of kalām (speculative theology). This was the Mukhtaṣar al-arbaʿīn fī uṣūl al-dīn ('The Summary of Forty Questions on the Bases of Religion'), a commentary on a work by al-Rāzī. It has not survived. Ibn Wāṣil's scientific works were no more popular. No copies of his two works on astronomy and medicine have survived. His work on astronomy, Nukhbat al-amlāk fī hayʾat al-aflāk, was dedicated to Tūrānshāh. His medical work was a summary of his teacher Ibn Bayṭār's al-Mufrada.

Paul Graupe (born May 29, 1881, in Neutrebbin; died February 9, 1953, in Baden-Baden) was a German antiquarian bookseller and art dealer. Early life Paul Graupe was born in 1881 into a Jewish family in Neutrebbin, Germany. He attended grammar school and apprenticed as a bookseller in Posen in the firm of Joseph Jolowicz. He then worked for Gustav Fock in Leipzig, Jacques Rosenthal in Munich, Martin Breslauer in Berlin, Lipsius & Tischer in Kiel and Friedrich Cohen in Bonn. Graupe founded an antiquarian bookshop under his name in Berlin by 1902. Graupe was exempt from military service as an ineligible person in the First World War. In 1916 he held his first book auction in Berlin, and in 1917 he auctioned off the library of the late publisher and co-founder of Insel-Verlag Alfred Walter Heymel, including dedication copies of Rainer Maria Rilke. After the First World War, Graupe helped organise the replacement of the holdings of the University Library of Louvain, which had been destroyed in World War I, alongside Joseph Baer & Co, Jacques Rosenthal, Ludwig Rosenthal, Karl Wilhelm Hiersemann and Martin Breslauer. Book art and graphic art were the main focus of his business until 1927. He also published auction catalogs. He expanded his business to include fine art and, between 1930 and 1932, held seventeen major art auctions in partnership with Kunsthandlung Hermann Ball . Nazi era Paul Graupe's activities during the Nazi era have been described as "between and gray areas, to the genesis and networks of the Nazi art trade". When the Nazis (National Socialists) came to power in 1933, many Jewish art dealers like Alfred Flechtheim had to flee after their galleries were Aryanized, that is transferred to non-Jews. However, Graupe received special permission from the Nazi Reich Chamber of Culture to continue art dealing and auctions until 1937. Since he had an international clientele, Joseph Goebbels considered him a foreign exchange earner. Graupe was involved in the liquidation of numerous art collections, such as that of Max Alsberg, who committed suicide in 1933. Nazi persecution of Jews included the seizure of assets and the imposition of special taxes like the Reich Flight Tax. In January 1934 Max Alsberg's art collection was auctioned off by Graupe. In 1935, Max Silberberg's extensive picture collection and library were sold off at Graupe.Rosa Oppenheimer's collection was sold in a forced auction in 1935. Other Jewish collections which passed through Graupe in the Nazi era include Oscar Wassermann,van Dieman, Emma Budge and Leo Lewin. By 1937 Graupe had organized about 160 auctions with works by Rubens, Rembrandt or Tiepolo, Corot, Menzel and Liebermann, when he himself had to flee to Switzerland, the business in Berlin was aryanized, that is, transferred to a non-Jewish owner, Hans Wolfgang Lange (1904-1945) and continued until 1944. Graupe founded the company "Paul Graupe & Cie" in Paris, but had no permission to work as an auctioneer in France. From 1936 he ran his Paris business in partnership with Arthur Goldschmidt. At the beginning of the war in 1939, he escaped internment in France because he was in Switzerland. The company's warehouse in Paris was looted by Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg after the German invasion of France in 1940. Graupe managed to escape with his wife to the US in 1941, where he had great difficulty in doing business. Only the painting "The Man is at Sea" by Vincent van Gogh could be smuggled out of occupied France, and Graupe sold it to Errol Flynn. His activities were investigated by the Art Looting Intelligence Unit in 1945 and 1946, and Graupe was put on the Red Flag List. After the end of the war, he returned to Paris in 1945 and resumed business there. He endeavored to restitute the looted stocks, although it was later impossible to reconstruct which paintings Graupe owned and which his firm had taken on commission. Graupe fell seriously ill in 1950 and died in 1953. His son Tommy Grange was also an art dealer and continued to conduct research, restitution and compensation negotiations for the family until the 1960s. Controversial artworks and transactions “Meules de Blé” by Vincent van Gogh, which Max Meirowsky entrusted to Paul Graupe in 1938 as he fled Nazi persecution was later the subject of restitution claims from both the Meirowsky and Alexandrine de Rothschild's heirs. Herbert M. Gutmann, Potsdam submitted claims for artworks acutioned at Graupe (2.p14. April 1934 Graupe Auction Nr. 132, Lot 17, in Berlin) In 2017 the Oetker company reached a settlement with heirs of Emma Budge for a 17th-century silver cup in the shape of a windmill that was sold via the Paul Graupe auction house in 1937 Auktion Paul Graupe, Berlin Verst.

Dinamiti (trans. The Dynamites) were a Yugoslav rock band formed in Osijek in 1963. They were one of the pioneers of the Yugoslav rock scene. Dinamiti were formed in 1963 by Krunoslav "Kićo" Slabinac (vocals, rhythm guitar), Antun "Tuca" Nikolić (guitar), Alberto Krasnići (bass guitar), Miroslav Šaranović (drums) and Vladimir Lazić (organ), Šaranović soon being replaced by Ratomir "Ratko" Divjak. The band performed covers, attracting large attention of the audience and the media, gaining the reputation of competent instrumentalists. After Slabinac, Nikolić and Lazić left the band, Krasnići and Divjak were joined by vocalist Dado Topić and guitarist Josip Boček. The band continued to perform covers, but alo started to move towards progressive rock with their jazz-influenced improvisations and Topić's compositions. The band disbanded in 1969, after Topić and then Boček moved to Korni Grupa. After leaving Dinamiti, Slabinac achieved large success as a solo artist, becoming one of the most notable acts of the 1970s Yugoslav pop scene. Topić and Boćek achieved nationwide popularity with Korni Grupa, before Topić left the band in 1971 to form Time, also a highly successful act on the Yugoslav rock scene. Divjak dedicated himself to jazz, performing as a member of numerous jazz and jazz fusion ensembles. History 1963–1969 Dinamiti's history begins in 1961, when vocalist and rhythm guitarist Krunoslav "Kićo" Slabinac formed the band Tornado in Osijek. In 1962 the group changed the name to Kon-Tiki, and in 1963 started working under the name Dinamiti. The first Dinamiti lineup featured, beside Slabinac, Antun "Tuca" Nikolić (guitar), Alberto Krasnići (bass guitar), Miroslav Šaranović (drums) and Vladimir Lazić (organ). Soon after the group started performing as Dinamiti, Šaranović moved to the band Indexi, and was replaced by Ratomir "Ratko" Divjak. The band performed mostly at dances, gaining attention of the audience as a cover act. For a period of time, they held regular concerts in Zagreb's Workers' Hall, performing four to five times a week, with 1,200 to 1,500 people attending each of these performances. They performed diverse material, from jazz and contemporary rock hits to schlagers, gaining reputation as competent instrumentalists. The band made some recordings on reel-to-reel tape recorder, and these songs were often played on Radio Osijek and in Osijek cinemas. In 1966 Dinamiti performed on the first edition of Belgrade Gitarijada festival, winning the seventh place. In 1967, they performed on the second edition of Belgrade Gitarijada, reaching the festival's semi-finals, and won the first place at Zagreb Gitarijada festival, after which they went to Germany, where they performed in clubs P.N. Hit House and Havana Beat Center in Munich. However, after only several weeks, they had to return to Yugoslavia, as both Slabinac and Nikolić were drafted to serve their mandatory stint in the Yugoslav Army. The band continued their activity after Slabinac's and Nikolić's return from the army, achieving local success with the song "Plavuša" ("Blonde Girl"), written by Stevo Radović of the band Bele Višnje, with whom Slabinac served his army stint in Titograd. However, at the time Slabinac fell in love with the daughter of the Colorado Circus owner, so together with Nikolić and Lazić he started playing in the circus orchestra. While the circus performed in Belgrade, Slabinac and the girl broke up, so the three musicians left the circus orchestra. In order to earn some money quickly, they formed the band Vizije (The Visions) with two Belgrade musicians, brothers Toma and Miodrag Milanović, for a period of time holding regular concerts in Belgrade Youth Center. After Slabinac, Nikolić and Lazić left the band, Krasnići and Divjak invited vocalist Dado Topić and guitarist Josip Boček, at the time members of the band Eliksiri (The Elixirs), to join them. The new incarnation of Dinamiti became a live attraction, thanks to their performances based on improvisations and covers of works by foreign progressive rock acts. The band also performed some of Topić's compositions, like "Novine" ("Newspapers") and "Život moj" ("My Life"), which were in accordance with the emerging trends on the Yugoslav rock scene and were well received by the audience. This lineup of the band won the first place at the Zagreb Gitarijada festival, the Golden Guitar Award and the Audience Award at the Belgrade Beat Festival and performed on Radio Belgrade on several occasions. The band's work, especially Topić's vocal skills, was widely praised by the Yugoslav press. They made some recordings, but never released any of them. In 1969 the band moved to Zagreb, where they performed mostly in the clubs Kulušić and Lola. In the summer of 1969 they held a large Adriatic coast tour, with Josipa Lisac and Alenka Pinterič as guest vocalists. The band attracted new attention of the press after German string instrument manufacturing company Framus gifted them an electric guitar. However, despite the attention of the audience and praises by the media, in Dinamiti ended their activity at the end of 1969, as Topić moved to Korni Grupa, where he was soon joined by Boček. Post breakup After he ended his activity with Vizije, Slabinac started a career as a solo singer, achieving huge success on the Yugoslav pop scene. With Korni Grupa Topić and Boček achieved nationwide success. In 1971 Topić left Korni Grupa and formed highly successful band Time. Divjak dedicated himself to jazz music, studying at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and playing in various ensembles, including the successful jazz rock band September. In 1994 the recordings of the songs "Čačak kolo" and "Čađava mehana" ("Dusty Tavern"), both covers of traditional songs, were released on the Komuna compilation albums U mojim venama: Etno rock (In My Veins: Ethnic Rock) and Sjaj izgubljene ljubavi: Muzika šezdesetih (Spark of the Lost Love: Music of the Sixties) respectively, as a part of the YU retROCKspektiva (YU RetROCKspective) album series. The recordings "Tema za bossa novu" ("Bossa Nova Theme") and "Crying Time" (a cover of Ray Charles song) were published on the box set Kad je rock bio mlad - Priče sa istočne strane (1956-1970) (When Rock Was Young - East Side Stories (1956-1970)), released by Croatia Records in 2005 and featuring songs by the pioneering Yugoslav rock acts.

Protactile is a language used by deafblind people using tactile channels. Unlike other sign languages, which are heavily reliant on visual information, protactile is oriented towards touch and is practiced on the body. Protactile communication originated out of communications by deafblind people in Seattle in 2007 and incorporates signs from American Sign Language. Protactile is an emerging system of communication in the United States, with users relying on shared principles such as contact space, tactile imagery, and reciprocity. History In 2007, a group of three deafblind women working at the Deaf-Blind Service Center in Seattle, aj granda, Jelica Nuccio, and Jackie Engler, communicated with each other using American Sign Language (ASL) through the use of interpreters. Using ASL required the group to either use interpreters to communicate simultaneously or limited their conversation to just two people communicating at a time (using hand over hand signing). The three worked together to devise ways to talk with each other directly, using their sense of touch as the primary source of information. They began inviting other deafblind people into their conversations and interacting using these new communication practices. In describing the origin of protactile, granda and Nuccio write: Description Protactile has emerged in communities of people who were born deaf, learned ASL as children, then gradually lost their sight over decades, as is common in Usher syndrome. Leaders and educators granda and Nuccio describe a "protactile movement" as empowering the DeafBlind community with a sense of community, with a language in DeafBlind people's preferred modality providing a remedy to the isolation imposed by hearing and sighted culture. They describe a protactile philosophy as supporting DeafBlind culture, relationships, and politics. Protactile is described by Helen Keller Services for the Blind as "much more than a system of touch signals," instead "a philosophy and a movement which focuses on autonomy and equality for people who are deaf-blind." In protactile, communication takes place by touch and movement focused primarily on the hands, wrist, elbow, arm, upper back, and when in a seated position, knees and the top of the thigh. In formal instruction of protactile while sitting and facing a conversation partner, the "listening hand" has the thumb, index finger, and pinky extended, and is rested on the thigh of the other participant. For example, several rapid taps on the thigh with all four fingers would indicate "yes," where a rapid back and forth brushing movement with the fingers would indicate "no." Tactile maps are used in protactile, communicating spatial information about the environment to the deafblind person. A map can be drawn on a recipient's hand, arm, or back to describe surroundings or give directions. Instead of the "air space" used in visual sign languages, that is, the space around a signer's body, protactile is rooted in "contact space." While ASL and other sign languages rely on handshape as one of the core components distinguishing a sign from other signs, in protactile the handshape is less important than the sensation received (for example, a series of tapped signs using different handshapes would all just be received as taps, with the handshapes being indistinguishable). Reciprocity A significant innovation in protactile involves the concept of reciprocity. Communication partners are encouraged to use the same communication method (as opposed to using signed or spoken language along with protactile) to ensure vision is not unduly privileged. Sharing experience is a core principle of protactile, with tacile imagery evoking sensations in storytelling in the same way that facial expressions do in a conversation between sighted people. Serving the same function as body language or verbal acknowledgments (such as "mm-hmm" or "yeah"), tactile backchanneling allows for smoother communication in protactile conversations. Tapping the partner's arm or leg during pauses or as confirmation of understanding serves as a continuous loop of backchannel feedback. Agreement, disagreement, laughter, and other responses are signaled using manual cues. These cues are not standardized, but are developed according to the needs of the individual and specific situation. Education and impact The DeafBlind Interpreting National Training and Resource Center was launched in 2017 as a resource for deafblind people. The Center staff work to train protactile interpreters; as DeafBlind author John Lee Clark writes, "instead of providing 'accurate and objective information' in a way that unsuccessfully attempts to create a replica of how they're experiencing the world, Protactile interpreters must be our informants, our partners, our accomplices." A grant from the National Science Foundation led to the creation of a hybrid learning environment for young deafblind children. The DeafBlind Kids! website provides parents and caretakers with information about protactile concepts such as tactile exploration, backchanneling, and co-presence. Protactile communication fosters inclusion and autonomy by providing deafblind people with more information about their environment. More robust communication leads to fewer misunderstandings and more sense of involvement and connection.
