Envoi Allen (foaled 16 February 2014) is a French-bred thoroughbred racehorse competing in National Hunt racing.
Career
Envoi Allen was bred in France and first raced in the Republic of Ireland in a point to point at Ballinaboola where he won by 10 lengths.
He was sold at the Tattersalls Ireland Cheltenham February Sale for £400,000. Bloodstock agent Tom Malone purchased the horse on behalf of David and Patricia Thompson of Cheveley Park Stud.
Trained by Gordon Elliott in Ireland, Envoi Allen won his first 11 races under rules. This included victories at the Cheltenham Festival in two Grade 1s, winning the 2019 Champion Bumper and 2020 Ballymore Novices Hurdle.
In Ireland he won three Grade 1 races the 2019 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle, Lawlors of Naas Novice Hurdle and the Drinmore Novice Chase.
In March 2021, training was switched from Gordon Elliott to Henry De Bromhead.
De Bromhead's training of Envoi Allen got off to a poor start as he fell in the Marsh Chase at Cheltenham and was pulled up in the Dooley Insurance Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown. It was later revealed he had suffered an injury early in the race.
After the summer break, he returned at Down Royal to victory in a Grade 2 Chase. He also won a Grade 1 at Leopardstown ridden by Grand National and Gold Cup winning jockey Rachael Blackmore.

They Are All Dead () is a 2014 drama film with supernatural elements directed and written by Beatriz Sanchís which stars Elena Anaya. It is an international co-production among companies from Spain, Germany and Mexico.
Plot
Set in the 1990s, it refers back to the 1980s, when Lupe, the lead character, was a rock star. In present time, Lupe suffers from agoraphobia. She lives secluded, only in contact with her son Pancho (a boy scout who hates her) and her Mexican mother Paquita. The ghost of her brother Diego breaks into her life.
Cast
Production
The film is a production by Avalon PC, Integral Film and Animal de Luz, with funding from Ibermedia and Eurimages. Shooting began on 11 February 2013. Shooting locations included Madrid.
Release
The film was presented on 27 March 2014 at the 17th Málaga Film Festival. Distributed by Avalon, the film was theatrically released in Spain on 30 May 2014.
Reception
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, considering Elena Anaya (in a role tailor-made for her) to be the best about the film whereas he assessed that the writing needed more work.
Jordi Costa of El País wrote that "it is not a perfect film, but it is a risky debut feature with a strong identity".
Manuel Piñón of Cinemanía rated the film with 2½ out of 5 stars, considering that despite being an "original and bold" film, it is dragged by a forced homage to 'La movida', assessing that the film may have turned to be a "happy anomaly" if it employed less nostalgia and respect to the past.
Reviewing for Excélsior, Lucero Solórzano deemed the film to be a "a good debut by Beatriz Sanchís" and that, writing shortcomings notwithstanding, it works and is watchable.
Reviewing for The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Holland considered the film to be "a challengingly offbeat but persuasively imagined “what if” bid to talk about well-worn family themes in an adventurous new way".

Ciro Domenico Kroon (31 January 1916 – 9 June 2001) was an Curaçao politician and businessman. He served as Minister of Social and Economic Affairs from 1957 until 1968, and Prime Minister of the Netherlands Antilles from 1968 until 1969. The 1969 Curaçao uprising caused the collapse of his government.
Biography
Kroon was born on 31 January 1916 in Curaçao. After finishing high school, he worked in trade. In 1942, he joined the civil service in the Department of Social and Economic Affairs. In 1944, he was one of the founders of the Democratic Party of Curaçao. In 1945, he was a candidate for the Estates of Curaçao and Dependencies, but did not get elected.
In 1949, Kroon was elected to the Estates. On 16 June 1951, he became a member of the island council of Curaçao, and served until 1957. In 1956, he first served as acting Lieutenant governor of Curaçao. In November 1957, he was appointed Minister of Social and Economic Affairs.
Prime minister
In January 1968, prime minister Efraïn Jonckheer announced his intention to retire from active politics, and named Kroon as his successor. On 15 February, Kroon became Prime Minister of the Netherlands Antilles. The same day, he wanted to drive to the airport to say goodbye to Jonckheer, however he was involved in a traffic accident with a bus, and was hospitalised with a concussion.
On the outside, Curaçao appeared to be in great shape. It had one of the highest per capita incomes, a 99.5% literacy rate, a tourist friendly capital with luxury hotels and many duty-free shops, however Royal Dutch Shell, the largest employer, had laid off 2,000 workers. About 20% of the population, mainly of African descent, was unemployed, and many were living in slums on the edge of Willemstad. On the other hand, the mainly Caucasian management was living in the segregated and gated villa wards of Julianadorp and Emmastad.
Royal Dutch Shell announced using plumbers of subcontractor Werkspoor Caribbean (WESCAR), where the employees received significant lower wages. A strike was called for the end of May by the unions. On 30 May 1969, the strikers were joined by disgruntled personnel of Texas Instruments, and a march was organised to the centre of Willemstad which escalated in a riot where houses were set on fire, and shops were looted.
The police were unable to handle the situation, prime minister Kroon could not located, governor Cola Debrot was in New York, therefore, Ronchi Isa, Minister of Justice, called in the Netherlands Marine Corps. The riot ended when it was announced that Shell and WESCAR had given into the demands, and the marines left on 6 June. The riot had resulted in two deaths, 69 wounded, 53 buildings were destroyed, and 190 looted. Damages were estimated at US$40 million. The government of the Netherlands Antilles announced its resignation, and an ad interim government was formed headed by which would act as a place holder until the 1969 elections. Ernesto Petronia was later elected as the first Prime Minister of African descent, however the Democratic Party would remain the largest party in the coalition.
Later life
In July 1970, Kroon founded the party Movimento pa adelanto Social Antiyano (Movement for Antillian Social Advancement). In 1971, he was re-elected to the Estates. On 20 November 1973, he became Minister of Economic Affairs, Sports and Culture in the Evertsz cabinet, and served until 14 October 1977.
After retiring from politics, Kroon became president of the Curaçao branch of Mercantil Banco, and in December 1985, he was appointed formateur of a new government which resulted in the Don Martina government.

Totem and Taboo is the eighth studio album by English musician Hugh Cornwell, released in 2012. It was funded via PledgeMusic and initially self-released in June 2012 on Cornwell's own HIS Records, before coming out in September 2012 through Cadiz Music in the UK, and in June 2013 through Red River Entertainment in North America. The album was recorded in Chicago with recording engineer Steve Albini.
The album title is taken from a collection of essays by Sigmund Freud from 1913.
Background
When preparing for the recording of Totem and Taboo, Hugh Cornwell was looking to make an album without any constraints from a record label, regarding ownership and how to record it. And through PledgeMusic, he managed to get it financed. From a list of engineers and producers to work with, Cornwell chose Steve Albini (Pixies, PJ Harvey, Nirvana), who was at the top of the list, available, and willing to do it. Cornwell's previous album, 2008's Hooverdam, was recorded on an eight-track recorder, a confined system he found interesting to work with. "I realized that to make a big record you don't need a lot of things. Less is more," he said. "So I took that forward this time even further. A lot of the guitar parts are just single notes. They're not even chords."
According to Cornwell, Albini doesn't like to be called a producer, he likes to be an engineer. He prefers working with people who have a clear idea of what they want, and then he'll facilitate getting those ideas recorded. "He loved it when we turned up and everything had been decided," Cornell said. He and his band, bassist Steve Fishman and drummer Chris Bell, sat down with Albini for the first day and worked out how many tracks they were going to need for each song, managing to get it all on 16-track. The album was recorded in 10 days at Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago in December 2011. "Steve Albini was a perfect choice to work with," Cornwell said, "because he is very good at recording simple things and getting great sounds on simple things. He found it very easy working with us because we didn’t want anything complicated."
Themes and composition
Talking about the theme of the album in 2014, Cornwell said, "As you get older you come to realise that nothing ever changes, only the characters change. So why try to change anything that's outside yourself? The songs explore different totems and different taboos." Cornwell has described the title track as a song of desperation and resignation. It is a song saying, "I have my way of looking at things and you have your way and they don't necessarily align."
"Love Me Slender," a bastardization of the title "Love Me Tender," has been described by Cornwell as a "black-comedy song". He explained that in art, "the definition of beauty has changed dramatically throughout the years. A couple of hundred years ago, a woman was beautiful if she were fat. And the reason why you were beautiful if you were fat is it meant you had money."
"Gods, Guns and Gays" is an observation about America and the word "gays" in the title represents freedom of speech. Musically, Cornwell was trying to write his impression of an Arthur Lee song, incorporating punk, psychedelia and pop all at once. "God Is a Woman" is built around the bass riff of Cream's 1969 song "Badge." "Hopefully people will consider, as I do," Cornwell said of the lyrics, "that this is a modern day "Peaches".
"The Face" is about an evening when Cornwell was invited along to the release of one of Madonna's albums in the 1990s. At one point during the party, he had to go to the bathroom and joined a queue. After waiting in line for a long time, Cornwell suddenly realised he'd joined the queue to meet Madonna in the bathroom, where she was holding meet and greets with her fans. "So I rushed out of the queue and hoped no one had seen me." In the song, Cornwell also name-checks Paul Roberts, who replaced him in the Stranglers in 1990. The two met briefly at the Madonna party.
Elsewhere, "I Want One of Those" concerns consumerism, and "In the Dead of Night" deals with mortality.
Critical reception
Classic Rock described the album's sound as "gloriously raw and vibrant," and wrote, "Cornwell's endearingly sardonic observations on freedom, consumerism and Madonna Louise Ciccone crackle with energy. Whether gently poking fun at middle-class myopia on "Stuck in Daily Mail Land" or smirking wryly at American morality on "Gods, Guns and Gays," he sounds more engaged and intense than he has in years." The Liverpool Sound and Vision website didn't feel that Totem and Taboo was quite as impressive as previous albums like Hooverdam (2008) or Hi Fi (2000), even though the album is "striking for its generosity of guitar and the spirit that pours of it." Among the website's album highlights were "God Is a Woman," which was described as a "self-admission of guilt and realisation of male mistakes made in the past," the "biting criticism" of "Stuck in Daily Mail Land," and what they called "the bizarrely titled but insanely brilliant" "Gods, Guns and Gays".
The Glasgow Herald wrote that Cornwell "continues to produce compelling, individual work," and that the album "has some of the propulsive, gritty energy of early Stranglers, driven by Chris Bell's drumming and Steve Fishman's driving bass work." They also noted the album's "eloquent" lyrics. Witchdoctor magazine described Totem and Taboo as "musically orthodox and stripped-back" with a "gritty, raw" sound. Lyrically, they felt that Cornwell "is still as unflinching, as honest as ever, and still telling it like it is without any decoration or attempt at tarting it up." They concluded that Totem and Taboo "is proof positive that [Cornwell is] neither mellowed, nor a spent force."
Many reviewers noted album closer "In the Dead of Night", calling it the best track on the album and one of Cornwell's finest and most epic solo tracks.
The Louder Than War website described the track as "10 minutes of steamy music noir."

Selkirk railway station served the town of Selkirk, Scottish Borders, Scotland, from 1856 to 1964 on the Selkirk and Galashiels Railway.
History
The station was opened on 5 April 1856 by the Selkirk and Galashiels Railway. It was situated at the end of Station Road. On the west side was the goods yard which had six sidings and a goods shed. To the north was an engine shed and on the north side was the signal box, which opened in 1893. Initially, there was only Forest Mill nearby but, by 1900, around twelve textile mills had opened in the vicinity to take advantage of the railways. A new stone-built station building was built across the course of the first 25 years of the station's lifespan. The engine shed closed in 1931. The station closed to passengers on 10 September 1951. but it remained open for excursions and goods traffic until 2 November 1964. A private siding remained for a short time. The station was demolished in 1971. The site is now an industrial estate.

Samuel Bewley was born in Mountmellick, County Laois on 21 April 1764. His parents were Thomas (1719–95) and Susanna Bewley (née Pim). The family were Quakers. Bewley married Elizabeth Fayle, with whom he had 3 daughters, and 10 sons. He lived at Meath Street, William Street and Rockville, County Dublin. He died on 8 November 1837.
Career
Bewley was most likely an apprentice to a Dublin silk merchant, before establishing his own silk merchant business. He worked with his brother, John (1754–1830), in cotton manufacture from 1796 to around 1804. From 1826, Bewley was a ship owner, trading with Barbados, the Levant, and North America from where he imported dye stuffs and drugs including liquorice paste, opium, silkworm gut, and valonia. From 1820, Bewley was involved in the revival of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, serving as a council member and treasurer from 1820 to 1837. He drafted numerous reports from the chamber, and was seen as a unifying member of the council. Bewley represented the chamber at a number of parliamentary committees, such as the fourth commission of inquiry into the revenue arising in Ireland in 1822.
Bewley was involved with the legislation which allowed Irish merchants to import tea directly to Ireland, after the ending of the monopoly held by the East India Company. Hellas, Bewley's ship, was the first to freight between China and Dublin directly in 1835. It was with the cargo of over 2,000 crates of tea that Bewley and his son Charles founded the company Bewley's. In 1822, he was a founding shareholder of the National Insurance Company, serving as one of the 3 treasurers between 1822 and 1824. He was a director and major shareholder of the Mining Company of Ireland.
Philanthropy
Bewley was an elder of the Society of Friends, which led him to be active in its administration and to serve as treasurer on the relief committee for Quakers who lost property in the 1798 Rising. He also served on the Dublin Tract Association committee. Bewley proposed the foundation of a Quaker retreat at Bloomfield, Dublin in 1807. This institution was the first in Ireland to offer gentle treatment for mental illness. He was also involved in the Hibernian Society for Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace, the Cork Street Fever Hospital, the Sick Poor Institution, and the Meath Hospital. in 1823, he served as treasurer of the Dublin Committee for the Greek Refugees from the Isle of Scio, and was a subscribing member of the committee for raising funds for African instruction in 1824. For his arbitration skills, Bewley was dubbed "Solomon of the quakers", working closely with the La Touche and Guinness families, who were Anglican. Together they founded the non-sectarian Kildare Place schools in 1811, and the Dublin Savings Bank in 1818. He was a founding member of the Association for the Prevention and Suppression of Mendicity in 1818.

Asio ecuadoriensis is an extinct species of eared owl from the Pleistocene of Ecuador. Known from bones of the legs, it was a robust predatory bird similar in size to the great horned owl. Based on the robustness of its limbs and the bones found in what may have been it's burrow, it's possible that it may have been specialised in hunting other species of owls.
Discovery and naming
The holotype specimen of A. ecuadoriensis was discovered between 2009 and 2012 in the ravines of Quebrada Chalán, an area in the Ecuadorian Andes, south of Riobamba City. The fossil site seems to preserve the burrow of an owl, containing the fossil bones of several owls as well as the bones of various small mammals. These specimens are associated with the Late Pleistocene Cangahua Formation. The holotype consists of two fossils that form a portion of the leg, specifically part of the tibiotarsus and an almost complete tarsometatarsus. Unlike other specimens from the locality, the bones of A. ecuadoriensis lack any form of abrasion related to stomach acid. The animal was named by Gastón E. Lo Coco and collagues in 2020 after the country it was found in.
Description
A. ecuadoriensis may have been the largest known asionine with the known material being similar in size to those of large female great horned owls. The preserved length of the tibiotarsus is and the tarsometatarsus is and both bones are relatively robust. Although its size is similar to the great horned owl, it appears notably more slender by comparison. The material indicates that A. ecuadoriensis had legs that were longer and more robust than those of any other known asionine owl and, as inferred based on the size of the intercondylar groove, was very powerful. This robustness correlates with deep muscle scars, further supporting the idea that this species had a strong grip. Standing up they may have reached a height of and a wingspan of .
Paleobiology
Diet
The peculiar limb morphology of A. ecuadoriensis suggests that it had robust and strong limbs well suited to grip prey and restrain it while it struggled. All other material found at the burrow locality, including those of other owl species, shows the signs of errosion caused by strigiform stomach acid, subsequently suggesting that the bones found at the site had been ingested by a large species of owl that likely inhabited the burrow. As the bones of Asio ecuadoriensis are the only ones not showing such signs of errosion, it is very likely that it is the owner of the burrow and by extension fed on the animals who's bones were recovered alongside it. Mammal bones found in the burrow included Cryptotis shrews, rabbits and cricetid rodents, while other owls are represented by the bones of the American barn owl, the burrowing owl and an indetermined species of pygmy owl. The abundance of owl remains suggests the possibility that Asio ecuarodiensis may have been an owl specialist, or at least heavily incorporated other owl species in its diet alongside mammalian prey.
Extinction
American owl diversity during the Pleistocene was notably higher than today, including various large sized species found in continental North and South America as well as insular species like those of the Antilles, which coincided with an increased diversity in condors, caracaras and other raptors. One cause for this diversity may be widespread aridification during this time, replacing forested areas with wide open landscapes offering abundant food sources for birds of prey. Although the disappearance fo the later can be linked to the extinction of the American megafauna, the disappearance of giant non-scavenging birds is more difficult to explain. One hypothesis states that these large, specialised taxa were deeply affected by the selective pressures following the Pleistocene extinctions and disappeared relatively quickly, in part due to their smaller population density compared to smaller forms.

Khouw Tjoen (died in 1831), styled Khouw Tjoen Ko, was a prominent, late eighteenth-century Chinese-Indonesian ship owner and businessman, best-known now as the founder of the Khouw family of Tamboen, one of the most prominent dynasties of the 'Tjabang Atas' or Chinese gentry of colonial Indonesia.
Born in the mid-eighteenth century in Fujian, Qing Empire, Khouw Tjoen was the son of Khouw Teng, and a grandson of Khouw Kek Po, who hailed from the landowning Chinese scholar-gentry. Around 1769, Khouw Tjoen left China for Java in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) with two of his brothers, Khouw Shio and Khouw Soen. The brothers settled down in Tegal, Central Java, where they engaged and prospered in business, including in shipowning and pawnbroking.
After a time, Khouw Tjoen relocated to Batavia (present-day Jakarta), capital of the Indies, where he established himself and his family. By a woman of Peranakan background, he had two sons, Khouw Tian Sek and Khouw Tian Ho, one daughter Khouw Kang Nio, and adopted his brother Khouw Shio's son Khouw Tay Hien.
Khouw died in 1831 in Batavia. His eldest son, Khouw Tian Sek, succeeded him as head of the family, and was awarded the prestigious honorary title of Luitenant-titulair der Chinezen. The substantive version of this title came with executive and judicial authority over the Dutch government's Chinese subjects in the Indies and was part of the Dutch colonial system of 'indirect rule'. While his eldest son's title was honorary, and thus came with no administrative responsibility, it marked the elevation of his family to the ranks of the Tjabang Atas.

The Public Office was a municipal building on Moor Street in Birmingham, England, built during 1805–07. It was the first important administrative building in Birmingham, and remained the principal local government centre until the 1880s, when the much larger Council House was constructed. The building was demolished in 1911 to make way for a railway goods station.
History
The Public Office was built to give the Birmingham Street Commissioners a permanent headquarters. The complex also included the magistrates courts and a small prison.
The architect was William Hollins. The design was described as 'imposing' consisting of a rusticated base, above which was the principal story of six bays, divided by paired Ionic columns which supported an entablature and a balustraded parapet. The first stone of the building was laid on 18 September 1805, the cost being estimated at £10,000 (), The prison was opened on 29 September 1806 and the Public Office was opened on 19 October 1807. It was enlarged in 1830, and again in 1861.
The small prison attached to the rear of the building, known as the Birmingham Town Gaol, was used to hold prisoners immediately before trial and immediately after conviction, to serve their sentences they were sent to the county gaol at Warwick. In 1849 a dedicated prison was built at Winson Green. After this it was used as a lock up, and was described as the 'Moor Street Lock Up'.
In 1852, the Street Commissioners were wound up, and ownership of the building was transferred to Birmingham Town Council, who used a room at the Public Office known as the council chamber as their meeting place. Despite being expanded, the Public Office was inadequate for the needs of the growing town (which became a city in 1889) and so in the 1870s, the council decided to build a much larger premises; the Council House which opened in 1879.
The building continued to be used by the Birmingham City Police, but in 1909 the Great Western Railway opened Moor Street railway station adjacent to it, and in July that year they purchased the old Public Office from the council for £15,250 (), in order to demolish it to make way for a new goods station. Demolition was delayed however until 1911, as the Police had to move to a new Police Station in Digbeth. Most of the site of the Public Office is now occupied by the Selfridges Building.

Bloom colour is a medium pink colour. Flowers have a tendency to ball in rainy weather. 'The Mayflower' blooms in small clusters throughout the season. Leaves are matte, medium-sized and dark green. The plant is very disease resistant.
History
David Austin roses
David C. H. Austin (1926–2018) was an award-winning rose breeder, nursery owner and writer from Shropshire, England. When he was young, he was attracted to the beauty of old garden roses, especially the Gallicas, the Centifolias and the Damasks, which were popular in nineteenth century France. Austin began breeding roses in the 1950s with the goal of creating new shrub rose varieties that would possess the best qualities of old garden roses while incorporating the long flowering characteristics of hybrid tea roses and floribundas.
His first commercially successful rose cultivar was 'Constance Spry', which he introduced in 1961. He created a new, informal class of roses in the 1960s, which he named "English Roses". Austin's roses are generally known today as "David Austin Roses". Austin attained international commercial success with his new rose varieties. Some of his most popular roses include 'Wife of Bath' (1969), 'Graham Thomas' (1983), 'Abraham Darby' (1985) and 'Gertrude Jekyll' (1986).
'The Mayflower'
Austin developed 'The Mayflower' in 1992 from a cross between one unnamed parent and 'The Countryman’. The new cultivar was introduced into the UK by David Austin Roses Limited (UK) in 2001. It was named to celebrate the initial publication of the company's American rose catalogue. 'The Mayflower' was used to propagate one child plant, 'Susan Williams-Ellis'.

Garage Orchestra is an album by the American musician Cindy Lee Berryhill, released in 1994. It marked a turn from the folk material of Berryhill's past, to a more orchestral pop sound. Berryhill was working in a San Diego bookstore when Cargo Music suggested that she record an album. Berryhill subsequently named her band after the album.
Production
The album was produced by Berryhill and Michael Harris. "Song for Brian" is a reverie about falling in love with Brian Wilson.
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "an army of instrumentalists—playing everything from clarinet and cello to banjo, vibraphone and tympani—helps Berryhill deliver inventive, thoughtful, entertaining songs that fully deserve the diverse junior Phil Spector productions." Rolling Stone noted that "to songs whose raw, free ecstasies recall Patti Smith, Berryhill adds strings-and-timpani flourishes that echo Brian Wilson."
The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that the music is "filled with Kurt Weill-meets-Brian Wilson forays." The San Diego Union-Tribune called the album "a delightful collection of pithy songs that are simultaneously earthy and evocative, lyrical and lilting."
AllMusic wrote: "The massed backing vocals, buzzing string sections, woodwinds, and [Randy] Hoffman's tympani, vibraphone, marimba, and other noisemakers give the songs a sound that's big and rich with nuance, but the music still has a playful quality, just ramshackle enough to be loose but still painting the big picture she requires with the layers of sound at her disposal." The Herald & Review listed Garage Orchestra as the seventh best album of 1994.

In terms of geomorphological division, the Czech Republic is a very diverse territory, located in the territory of four geomorphological provinces within four geomorphological subsystems. The Bohemian Massif within the sub-system of Hercynian Forest forms three quarters of the country. The southeastern and eastern part of the Czech territory belongs to the Western Carpathians within the Carpathian Mountains. The remaining two provinces, Western Pannonian Basin within the Pannonian Basin and North European Plain within the European Plain, cover only a small part of the Czech territory in the southeast and the northeast.
The provinces are further subdivided into subprovinces, macroregions, mesoregions, microregions and areas. The generally accepted division of the relief of the Czech Republic into subprovinces, macroregions and mesoregions is given below.

Jeanne Albertine Germaine Bailac de Boria (1881–1977) from Toulouse was a French mezzo-soprano opera singer and voice teacher. After studying at the Toulouse and Paris conservatoires, she made her début at the Paris Opera in August 1907 in the title role of Samson et Dalila. In May 1908, she performed in the world premiere of Isaac de Camondo's Le Clown at the Opéra-Comique. She subsequently appeared in various roles, in particular Bizet's Carmen, in Paris and the provinces. In later life she taught voice at the Toulouse Conservatoire.
Early life
Born in Toulouse on 28 March 1881, Jeanne Albertine Germaine Bailac was the daughter of the Spanish-born violinist Frédéric Bailac and his Algerian-born wife Adelaïde Clotilde Armand. She studied the piano for many years before developing her voice. After Pedro Gailhard heard her singing at a recital in Biarritz around 1902, he advised her to attend the . She continued her voice training at the Conservatoire de Paris.
Career
Shortly after winning the first prize at the Opéra-Comique, she was engaged by Gailhard of the Paris Opera to sing the title role in Samson et Dalila by Saint-Saëns in August 1907. Her début received enthusiastic support, both for her voice and her performance as a dramatic actress. She was immediately considered to be among the most competent contraltos. In 1911, she appeared at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in the premiere of the last opera by Saint-Saëns, Déjanire. She created the role of Phenice, giving a "remarkable performance".
From May 1908, Bailac sang at the Opéra-Comique. Making a successful début in Isaac de Camondo's Clown, she went on to take the title role in Bizet's Carmen, Charlotte in Gounod's Werther, Margared in Lalo's Le roi d'Ys and Madame de la Haltère in Massenet's Cendrillon. She later performed in operas at Vichy's Grand Casino and in other provincial venues. She spent the last 20 years of her singing career at the Monte Carlo Opera.
Bailac retired from the stage in September 1941. She is remembered in particular for performing as Carmen some 3,000 times. She continued her career as a voice teacher at the Toulouse Conservatoire.
Germaine Bailac died in Paris on 12 October 1977.

"City People" is the third episode of the twenty-fifth season of the American animated television series South Park. The 314th episode overall of the series, it premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on February 16, 2022.
Plot
Liane Cartman interviews at a South Park Realtors office, looking to become a real estate agent. She is told that South Park is seeing a large influx of city people moving into South Park and she is hired. When she tells her son Eric Cartman about her job, he is stunned. Eric visits Butters Stotch and says that he believes that anyone can become a real estate agent, so he decides to get into the business himself. When Liane and Eric show a house to two different families from the city simultaneously, Liane berates his efforts and he threatens to start a separate own real estate agency. Eric later begins showing the homes of his friends while they are still living in them. At the South Park Chamber of Commerce, Mayor McDaniels speaks with local business owners about the influx of city people with their "city money" and "city lifestyles" which they initially support. At South Park Realtors, the office sees that they are starting to lose their customers to South Park Realty Group, which is Eric's company. They believe that Eric's picture for his company is causing them to lose business, so they take new pictures with each agent bending their back in an exaggerated manner, causing their backs to snap.
Eric makes a video advertising his business which increases his sales even more. Eventually the town is completely overrun by city people looking for houses. At the Chamber of Commerce, Tuong Lu Kim warns the other members that what city people hate most is other city people and that eventually they may leave. Mayor McDaniels asks Jimbo Kern to go to his gun store and get supplies, as she declares open season on real estate agents. When Eric shows Tolkien Black's house to a group of city people, Liane chases him down in anger. The members of the Chamber of Commerce break down the doors of South Park Realtors, but all the agents there have broken their backs from trying to take new pictures. The agents warn the Chamber of Commerce members that Eric is showing Tolkien's old house and has been upsetting the balance of real estate in South Park. Eric's mother finally confronts him, stating she understands that he is scared to see his mother taking a job which will in turn take her attention away from him. As the Chamber of Commerce members open fire on the house, Liane concedes that she will quit her real estate job and never take another job again. Liane and Eric announce to the Chamber of Commerce that they have quit, and in turn, all of the city people suddenly leave town. However, Eric and Liane have to move to an abandoned hot dog stand as it is now the only place they can afford.
Reception
An unnamed reviewer for Bubbleblabber gave the episode 9 out of 10 rating, praising its ability to work without the inclusion of three of the main four boys, along with its inclusion of secondary characters such as Liane Cartman and Lu Kim. The reviewer appreciated the hits on 'city people', commenting that "As someone who has grown up about 45 minutes from NYC, I can't say I agree with the assessment that they would all drive out to South Park in Teslas as most don't even drive cars…but LA residents would. Regardless, the personalities are spot on regardless of which coast you pick, and Matt Stone and Trey Parker know plenty about both in which to satirize. From douchey La Croix drinks and constant talk of pilates, I'm not sure a documentary about NYC/LA assholes could be more of a direct shot than what we were presented here".
Dan Caffrey of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B+", primarly praising the hits on real estate agents, while also pointing out that Matt and Trey did not seem to have much to say on the city people themselves. He still generally enjoyed the episode, commenting that "'City People' never quite explodes into the kind of bonkers finale promised by the episode's front half, And yet the quieter look into Cartman and Liane's codependent relationship proves to be interesting in its own right." Also saying that "There's something both fascinating and depressing about seeing Cartman's mom—the butt of so many jokes over the years—take literal agency and try to make something of herself, only to be thwarted by her son's parasitic needs."

Mikaela Jazlyn “Jaz” Brisack (born 1997 or 1998) is an American labor organizer known for leading unionizing efforts at Starbucks, namely at a Buffalo, New York store.
Early life and education
Brisack was homeschooled in Alcoa, Tennessee, where she grew up.
Brisack attended the University of Mississippi until 2019, majoring in Public Policy, Journalism, and English, where she received a Harry S. Truman Scholarship, and was the first woman at the university to be awarded with a Rhodes Scholarship.
Brisack finished her typically two-year scholarship at the University of Oxford in one year.
Career and activism
2016-2019
Brisack started her career in 2016 working as a teacher-advisor for the Sunflower Freedom Project, and in 2017 working part-time in a campaign with United Auto Workers to unionize a Nissan factory in Mississippi. Nissan was criticized for one of the "nastiest" union busting efforts in history. The union push was unsuccessful. She also worked to help defend Jackson Women's Health Organization. She says her work is inspired by Eugene V. Debs.
In 2018, Brisack one of her papers, Organizing Unions as Social Policy, was published in the Global Encyclopedia of Public Policy and Public Administration, which had won an award at the Southern Literary Festival in Mississippi.
In 2019, Brisack relocated to Buffalo, New York, following Richard Bensinger, whom she had worked with on Nissan unionizing, to start a union organizing campaign at SPoT Coffee. The campaign at SPoT was ultimately successful.
Starbucks (2020-present)
In 2020, Brisack joined the Elmwood Avenue Starbucks as a barista. Eight months into working there, in July 2021, Starbucks faced a labor shortage amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and Brisack recalled thinking it was "now or never," and launched a then-secret campaign with Bensinger and Workers United to unionize Starbucks. In late August, 2021, Brisack, and 48 other baristas in the Buffalo area wrote a letter to Kevin Johnson, Starbucks chief executive officer, informing the company of their intent to form a union. The Elmwood store counted its votes on December 9, 2021, and on December 17, 2021, the National Labor Relations Board certified its union. Three weeks later, Brisack and the other Elmwood baristas organized a strike after a bargaining meeting regarding protections for workers from the COVID-19 Omnicron variant had been unsuccessful. Cassie Fleischer, another organizer and union member at the Elmwood store, told The Washington Post that all of the union's requests were denied, including that the company pay "out-of-pocket costs on coronavirus tests".
When asked by her coworkers if she had joined the store with purpose of starting a union, Brisack clarified that there wasn't a "grand scheme", and that she would try to start a union anywhere she worked.
Brisack told the press, "We’ve said from Day One that all we had to do was win one store," and said she recognized that to organize a "great" contract with Starbucks, they would need to unionize additional Starbucks stores around the country, and started a grassroots organizing campaign using social media. The campaign garnered the support of the Democratic Socialists of America, Senator Bernie Sanders, House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a member of Seattle, Washington's city council, where Starbucks is headquartered, Kshama Sawant. As of January 14, 2022, 15 stores had filed for union elections, and by February 14, 2022, that number sky-rocketed to 78.
Brisack has accused Starbucks of union busting, and pointed to its firing of seven unionizing workers in Memphis, Tennessee as proof, saying "They can’t do this and be the company they say they are." The company has denied the allegations that it is union busting, and claims that the firings were for "violations" of its security rules.

Mission plans include reaching an orbit higher than any previous Dragon mission and ultimately the highest Earth orbit ever flown. Polaris Dawn will conduct research on the effects of spaceflight and space radiation on human health. The crew will also attempt the first commercial extravehicular activity (EVA) with SpaceX-designed EVA spacesuits. The mission will also be the first test of Starlink's communications laser, potentially improving connection with the spacecraft.

Taquin Du Seuil (2 May 2007 - 26 January 2018) was a French thoroughbred racehorse.
He was a multiple time Cheltenham winner, including the BetVictor Gold Cup and JLT Chase.
Career
Taquin Du Seuil was bred in France and ran for owner/breeder Marc Boudot on a number of occasions at courses including Longchamp, Deauville and Vichy. During this time he did not win any races.
In October 2012, Taquin Du Seuil was moved to the UK under ownership of Sir Martin Broughton. Jonjo O'Neill would take over training duties and Taquin Du Seuil won his first race at Uttoxeter.
Two more wins in the next three races could follow, including the Grade 1 Challow Novices Hurdle at Newbury Racecourse, before he finished sixth of eight in the Neptune Investment Management Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
For the next National Hunt season, he would return at Ffos Las and later Cheltenham during the November meeting winning both times. Good results, including winning a Grade 2 at Haydock Park in January , followed before winning arguably the biggest race of his career at the Cheltenham Festival - the JLT Chase in 2014 ridden by champion jockey AP McCoy.
Form following that win was mixed, with his next win now coming until February 2016 at Warwick. He would go on to finish 6th in the Ryanair Chase that year.
In November, Taquin Du Seuil once again ran at Cheltenham and won the Grade 3 BetVictor Gold Cup. This would be the final win of his career. A 2nd place in the 2017 Coral Cup would be a highlight.
On 26th January 2018, whilst racing at Huntingdon, Taquin Du Seuil was involved in a fatal fall.

The Sisters who Envied Their Cadette (French: Histoire des deux sœurs jalouses de leur cadette) is a fairy tale collected by French orientalist Antoine Galland and published in his translation of The Arabian Nights, a compilation of Arabic and Persian fairy tales.
Summary
A long time ago, the ruler of Persia, Khosrow Shah, disguises himself to mingle with his people to hear their thoughts. One night, he approaches a house where three sisters are talking; the eldest says she wants to marry the sultan's baker so she can eat all the best bread; the middle one wants to marry the sultan's cook so she can taste the most delicious dishes. As for the third sister, she declares she wants to marry the king himself, and promises to give him a child with hair of gold and silver, their tears will become pearls and whenever they smile, rosebuds will appear.
The Shah orders his vizier to bring the girls to his presence the next morning, so he can fulfill their wishes: he marries the two elder sisters to the baker and the cook, while he weds the third sister. Despondent at their lowly marriage, the new queen's two sisters plot to humiliate her and make her lose the king's favour. As soon as the first royal child is born (a boy), the jealous aunts take the boy, put him a cradle and cast him into a stream that passes by the palace. In his place, they put a puppy to deceive the Sultan. The cradle is carried by the stream to the outskirts of the royal palace, where he is found by a high official (superintendent of the gardens) and the gardener. The official takes the boy to his wife to raise him as his own.
Nine more months pass, and the Sultana gives birth to a second prince. Her jealous sisters replace the boy for a second puppy and cast him in the stream in a basket. The little prince, however, is rescued by the king's gardener and raised by the superintendent of the gardens. The following year, the Sultana gives birth to a girl, and she is also subject to the trickery of the jealous aunts: the little princess is cast in a basket into a stream, but she is saved by the superintendent of the gardens. Enraged at the false promises of his wife, the Sultan orders her to be banished from the palace and locked in a box or small hut in front of the mosque, and for any person that goes to the mosque to spit at her face.
Meanwhile, the superintendent of the gardens raises the royal siblings as his own children. In one version of the story, the brothers are named Bahman and Parviz (Perviz), and the sister Parizade. In another version, they are called Farid, Farouz and Farizade. Their adoptive father buys for them a palace outside of the city and moves there with his family. After he dies, the three siblings inherit the place. One day, while her brothers are hunting, Parizade stays at home and is visited by an old Muslim woman. She entertains her visitor with food and questions about her wanderings. The old woman answers that Parizade's palatial home is indeed beautiful, and their garden equally as magnificent, but it lacks three objects: the Talking Bird that draws other birds with its voice; the Singing Tree, whose leaves produce songs; and the Golden Water that can fill a basin and never exhaust nor overflow.
Translations
The story is considered to be one of the most popular of the One Thousand and One Nights compilation. As such, the tale has been reprinted several times, sometimes with different titles:
The Story of the Envious Sisters;
The Story of the Two Envious Sisters;
The Story of Two Sisters Who Were Jealous of Their Younger Sister;
Farizade au sourire de rose (Farizade with the Rose's Smile);
Perizade and the Speaking Bird;
The Story of the Speaking Bird;
The Talking Bird, the Singing Tree, and the Golden Water;
The Story of Princess Parizade, or The Talking Bird, the Singing Tree, and the Yellow Water;
The Story of Princess Periezade, and The Speaking Bird, the Singing Tree, and the Golden Water.
19th century theologue Johann Andreas Christian Löhr wrote a German translation of the tale titled Geschwisterliebe, oder die drei Königskinder ("Brotherly Love, or, The Three King's Children").
The tale contains a mythical bird called Bülbül-Hazar, thus giving the tale an alternate name: Perizade & L'Oiseau Bülbül-Hazar.
Analysis
Source
Scholarship remarks that the tale is one of the stories provided by Syrian Hanna Diyab to orientalist Antoine Galland in the early 18th century. The tale seems to have been rewritten by Galland and inserted in the narrative of The One Thousand and One NIghts, as if Scheherazade told the tale in the frame story of the book.
The tale is also considered to be one of the so called "orphan stories" of the Arabian Nights compilation, because an Persian or Indian original text has not been found, unlike other tales.
A line of scholarship (e.g., Jiri Cejpek, Enno Littmann) is inclined to defend a genuine Persian or Iranian character to Diyab's tale.
American folklorist Ruth B. Bottigheimer seems to agree with a Persian origin for the characters' names, but attributes this occurrence to Hanna Diyab's well-read intellectual pursuits. In another study, Bottigheimer argues that, due to the great similarities between Diyab's tale and Straparola's Ancilotto, The King of Provino, Diyab must have been acquainted with the Italian story during his lifetime.
Tale type
The tale is classified in the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index as type ATU 707, "The Three Golden Children". The tale type belongs to the international cycle of the Calumniated Wife, a cycle of stories wherein a queen is accused of giving birth to animals or eating her human babies, and, as consequence, she is expelled from home and punished in some outrageous form. The perpetrators of the queen's misfortune may be her own elder sisters or her mother-in-law.
Legacy
The tale gave its name to Roland-Manuel's opus Farizade au sourire de rose.

Mahbuba (Arabic: محبوبة / maḥbūba c. 1825 – 27 October 1840) was an Oromo girl taken to Germany as a slave. She inadvertently helped lay the foundations for Oromo Studies in Europe by reciting her oral traditions through song.
Mahbuba, Ajiamé, Bilillee
The subject of this article is most often called ‘Mahbuba’ or ‘Machbuba’, which is an Arabic name that means ‘beloved’. She appears to have been given this name after being sold as a slave.
Elsewhere she is called 'Ajiamé' or 'Agiamé', which is also derived from the Arabic term ʿaǧamī.
But her birth name was probably 'Bilillee' or 'Birillee'.
Life
Some details of Bilillee's early life are unclear, but it appears that she was born in the Kingdom of Gumma, in present-day Ethiopia. She was captured with her sister during local fighting, and, while still a child, taken by slave traders to Cairo. It was there in 1837 that she was purchased by Prince Hermann Ludwig Heinrich von Pückler-Muskau.
In a letter to his wife Lucie, Pückler-Muskau referred to Bilillee as his ‘mistress'. She was taken by him on his travels before returning to Germany with him in the Spring of 1940. She died in October that year, possibly from tuberculosis, at Muskau Castle in Saxony and buried in St. Jacobi Cemetery in the village of Bad Muskau.
Upon her death Pückler-Muskau wrote to a friend that Bilillee was ‘the being I loved most in all the world’. A death mask was taken as well as a posthumous portrait. The portrait depicts her dressed in a 'Mamluk costume and positioned in front of a desert landscape with pyramids [and] is less a realist representation of her than a visual manifestation of Orientalist fantasies.'
Her grave can still be visited today. In September 2017, the writer Asfa-Wossen Asserate visited the grave and unveiled an Ethiopian memorial cross.
Oral tradition
In 1838 Karl Tutschek was appointed tutor to several slaves who had arrived in Germany. They included an Oromo youth called Akafede Dalle and later Otshu Aga who in turn brought him into contact with Bilillee. Bilillee taught Aga several songs that were unfamiliar to her two compatriots. Bilillee then spent some of her last days before death reciting songs to Tutschek in 1840.
Tutschek used the information collected from the three, and later a fourth Oromo informant called Aman Gonda, to begin work on the first Oromo dictionary, which was published after his death in 1844 as the ‘Dictionary of the Galla Language’ (Munich).
Alongside his dictionary, Tutschek had transcribed 208 songs in Latin script and intended to translate them into German but died before this work could begin. It is believed these are almost all from Bilillee. The documents remained in his brother's possession before being rediscovered by Philipp Paulitschke in the 1890s while researching his Ethnographie Nordost-Afrikas. Paulitschke himself died before he could translate them and they appeared without explanation.
In 1997, over 150 years after her death, Bilillee's songs were translated into English by Gemetchu Megersa and published with further analysis by Claude Sumner.
In his introduction to the book, Lensa Gudina wrote: ‘She was a living library of Oromo songs [and through this book] Mahbuba still sings to us, as she did more than a century and a half ago to Karl Tutschek.’
163 of Bilillee's songs are included, such as this 'pastoral' song:
Sumner explains that this would have been sung by a group of men in praise of family leaders, age grades, and bulls.

William Mayne (1818 – 1855) was an English army officer in the service of the East India Company who made his name in the defence of Jellalabad during the First Afghan War He reached the rank of colonel in the Bengal Army, and served briefly as brigadier of the Hyderabad contingent.
Life
William Mayne, born on 28 October 1818, was the second surviving son of The Rev. Robert Mayne of Limpsfield, Surrey, by his wife, Charlotte Cuninghame Graham, daughter of Colonel Graham of St. Lawrence House, near Canterbury. William Mayne, Baron Newhaven, was his father's brother.
Mayne joined the East India Company's Military Seminary, Addiscombe, 5 February 1836, and passed his examination 12 June. Appointed ensign, 15 December 1837, he did duty with the 4th Bengal Native Infantry, and was afterwards posted to the 49th Bengal Native Infantry at Neemuch. On 29 November 1838 he was specially appointed to serve with the 37th Bengal Infantry in the Army of the Indus. Two companies of the 27th Bengal Infantry and ten of the 37th Bengal Infantry were attached to Sir Robert Sale's force. Mayne was appointed detachment-adjutant to these companies, and much distinguished himself at the unsuccessful attack on the fort of Julgar, 3 October 1840. He became lieutenant 2 November 1841. As lieutenant in command of a rissalah (squadron) of the 2nd Shah Soojah's Irregular Cavalry, or Anderson's Horse, he repeatedly signalised himself during the defence, by Sir Robert Sale, of Jellalabad, and subsequently with the Quartermaster-General's department under General Pollock, and at the capture of Istalif, 29 September 1842. He was selected by Lord Ellenborough for the adjutancy of the body-guard, as "among the officers most distinguished in the late war". While second in command of the bodyguard, he had a horse killed under him at Maharajpore, 31 December 1843. He was not engaged in the Sikh wars, being in command of the late 5th Irregular Horse at Bhowapur during the first, and commandant of Lord Dalhousie's bodyguard at the time of the second war.
In 1851, while still a captain in the 37th Bengal Infantry, he was specially selected by Lord Dalhousie for the command of the Nizam's forces (Hyderabad contingent), and at the head of six thousand of these troops was much employed in suppressing disturbances in the Deccan. The rapidity of Mayne's marches, and the invariable success of his operations, attracted general notice. He was repeatedly thanked by the Governor-General in Council, particularly for the defeat of a large body of Arabs near Aurungabad, 20 September 1853, and for his conduct on 22 September 1854. On the latter occasion, while investing the fort of Saila, near Hyderabad, he defeated and annihilated a party of Rohillas, who sallied out at dead of night, and attempted to cut their way through the besiegers.
Returning to England at the close of 1854, Mayne was made a brevet-colonel and ADC to the Queen. He had just returned to India when a violent attack of dysentery sent him home again. He died at Cairo, 23 December 1855. He married Helen Cunliffe, daughter of Thomas Reed Davidson, Bengal Civil Service, and niece of Lieutenant-general Sir Robert Cunliffe, by whom he left one child.

SN 2020tlf was a Type II supernova that occurred 120 million light years away in the galaxy NGC 5731. The supernova marked the first time that a red supergiant star had been observed before, during, and after the event, being observed up to 130 days before. The progenitor star was between 10 and 12 solar masses.
Observations
The star was first observed by the Pan-STARRS telescope in the summer of 2020, with other telescopes such as ATLAS also observing it. It was initially believed that red supergiants were quiet before their demise; however, SN 2020tlf was observed emitting bright, intense radiation and ejecting massive amounts of gaseous material. Observations were also made throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, such as in the X-ray, ultraviolet, infrared and radio wave spectrum.

Reading Hydro is a micro hydroelectric scheme in Reading, England. It is located on the River Thames, at the upstream end of View Island and using the head of water provided by the weir at Caversham Lock. With a drop of about and an average water flow of per second, it can generate of electricity with its twin archimedes screw turbines.
The scheme is owned and operated by the Reading Hydro CBS, a community benefit society that was founded in 2017, after some years of preparation. By 2018, planning permission had been granted and construction plans developed. Investment was raised through share offers to the local community, and the scheme was officially opened on 13 August 2021.
The turbine house has been decorated on two sides with a mural by Commando Jugendstil, entitled Community Energym, and representing the Reading Hydro community and the sustainable power the project will generate. A third side contains a rendition of Warming Stripes, a visual representations of the change in global temperature over the past 100+ years originally created by Professor Ed Hawkins of Reading University.
Although the weir already had a fish pass, this was found to be too steep for many species of fish. As part of the approvals process for the hydro scheme, a new fish pass has been constructed on View Island in the form of a stream that crosses the island on a more natural sinuous course. Both the turbine house and the fish pass are readily accessible by the public footpath, locally known as The Clappers, that crosses over both the lock and weir, and gives access to View Island.
