Criticism of the awards
The Nigeria Centenary Awards faced criticism, with concerns raised about the selection process and the inclusion of individuals in the honoree list. Critics suggested that political correctness influenced the choices, questioning the automatic reverence bestowed upon anyone who had led Nigeria, equating leadership with instant recognition as a national hero. There were reservations about the selection of awardees from a pool of over 160 million people, highlighting the challenge of condensing recognition to only 100 individuals. Some critics noted discrepancies in categories, citing an imbalance in the representation of academics versus artists. The composition of certain categories was questioned, with surprise expressed over the absence of certain individuals and the inclusion of others in seemingly incongruous groups. Specifically, criticism targeted the omission of notable figures such as Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi and sports pioneers like Hogan Bassey and Emmanuel Ifeajuna. There were also calls for the inclusion of influential traditional rulers and pioneer political leaders, whose absence was deemed conspicuous. Also, concerns were raised about factual inaccuracies within the documentation. Errors in categorization, citations, and historical details led to skepticism about the thoroughness of the selection process and the credibility of the document itself. Some citations seemed to focus on personal details unrelated to the individuals' merits, raising questions about the intent behind such inclusions. Critics argued that the document failed to adequately represent Nigeria's diverse history and achievements, emphasizing the importance of meticulousness and accuracy in compiling such prestigious records for posterity and international recognition.

History
The building was commissioned as a market house for the town by Andrew Blayney, 11th Baron Blayney, whose seat was at Blayney Castle, and was intended to support the local linen trade.

History
The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of eight bays facing southwest onto the Market Square. The central section of four bays featured a loggia with four round headed openings on the ground floor, and, behind a parapet and a large recess, four sash windows on the first floor. The end sections of two bays each, which were slightly projected forward, were fenestrated by slightly-recessed round headed windows on the ground floor and by sash windows with window sills on the first floor. The rear elevation of the building, which was accessed further down the slope of the hill, incorporated a basement floor which was arcaded, so that markets could be held, and was unrendered. At roof level, there was a bell tower with an ogee-shaped dome at the northwest end of the building. Internally, the principal room was a large assembly room on the first floor.

The first 250 kW Open Hydro turbine was tested at the European Marine Energy Centre Fall of Warness site from 2006, and was connected to the electricity grid in May 2008. The seventh generation 6 m diameter Open Hydro turbine was installed at the same EMEC site in April 2014. The turbine on test at EMEC was mounted on two piles, allowing it to be raised out of the water for maintenance, as shown in the photo (right). However, subsequent turbines sat on the seabed on a gravity foundation.

Électricité de France (EdF) started to develop a tidal farm at Paimpol–Bréhat, Brittany, France that would use OpenHydro turbines. A 250 kW turbine was tested there between December 2013 and April 2014. Two 16 m diameter 500 kW turbines were installed in January and May 2016, however these turbines were never connected to the grid. They were removed for repair in 2017 but not re-installed. The turbines were lowered to the seabed, and subsequently removed, by a specially designed catamaran barge, the OpenHydro Triskell. The project was cancelled in 2018.

Cape Sharp Tidal was a joint venture of OpenHydro and Nova Scotia Power, that tested OpenHydro turbines at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE). A 10 m diameter, 1 MW turbine was deployed in November 2009, however it suffered serious damage to the blades just 20 days later. A 2 MW grid-connected turbine was then tested from November 2016 to June 2017. In July 2018, a second 2 MW grid-connected turbine was installed. This turbine was left on the seabed when OpenHydro filed for bankruptcy, suggesting it was damaged beyond repair. The device is expected to be removed before the end of 2024 by the next company to test at FORCE Berth D, BigMoon Canada Corp.

History
The painting depicts British cabaret singer Marjorie Ferry, who performed in Paris in the 1930s. It was commissioned by Ferry's husband in 1932 and painted in the artist’s studio on rue Méchain. The artwork was intended as a gift to his newly-wed wife. A bright, large cabochon ring, which he gave her, was also depicted in the painting.

History
The painting has been described as the "Art Deco Mona Lisa" owing to the fact that Marjorie has nearly identical corners of the mouth and eyes as well as the shape of eyes and eyebrows with Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa thus evoking the same enigmatic smile. Lempicka was known for combining modern elements with old ones in a classical style. Her paintings were created by strictly applying Renaissance and Cubist patterns.

In February 2020, Portrait of Marjorie Ferry set a record for a work by Lempicka by fetching £16.3 million ($21.2 million) at the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale at Christie's, London surpassing the previous record held by her 1927 painting La Tunique rose, which sold for $13.4 million in 2019. The painting became the single most expensive artwork by a Polish artist, male or female, to date.
