Made of Glass (KT Tunstall song)
|
"Made of Glass" is the fourth and last single from KT Tunstall's Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon. The song is an acoustic ballad dealing with death and fragility of life, since the album deals with mortality. The song was first played acoustically on radio with Jo Whiley on 13 May 2013 along with "Feel It All" and "Invisible Empire", the two previous singles from the album. A music video was released on 11 November 2013.
Composition
"Made of Glass" is one of the only songs Tunstall had written before the writing process of Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon with "Yellow Flower". On an interview with Jo Whiley, she explained she had been trying to write the song for years without succeeding. Then, her sick dad offered her a fancy vase to carry flowers, about that, she explains it was one of the most beautiful gifts she ever received from him, but also the most fragile. Then, the inspiration came from that fragile and fancy vase, carrying flowers.
The song was recorded on the first recording session, in April 2012, where Tunstall recorded the song totally acoustically with old tape machines. She resorted to a friend for the whistling part.
Promotion
"Made of Glass" is one of the most played and promoted songs along with "Feel It All", "Invisible Empire", and "Crescent Moon". She first played it live on the radio, acoustically on 29 April 2013, on BBC Radio 2, on the Ken Bruce Show with "Invisible Empire", "Crescent Moon" and "Feel It All". She played it to almost every TV and internet appearance she has made (Yahoo, KFOG...). "Made of Glass" is also a part of the Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon Tour and features the live album Live Islington Assembly Hall CD.

Operation Anvil (Mau Mau Uprising)
|
Operation Anvil was a British military operation during the Mau Mau Uprising where British troops attempted to remove suspected Mau Mau from Nairobi and place them in Langata Camp or reserves. The operation began on 24 April 1954 and took two weeks, at the end of which 20,000 Mau Mau suspects had been taken to Langata, and 30,000 more had been deported to the reserves.
Background
In the early 1950s militant nationalism emerged in the United Kingdom's colony of Kenya in East Africa. By 1952 guerrilla attacks against white settlers and indigenous moderates, perpetrated by the "Mau Mau" movement, had proliferated the region occupied by the Kikuyu. On 20 October the colonial governor declared a state of emergency, initiating efforts by the British military to put down the insurgency. The first months of the British campaign were plagued by a lack of discipline, communication, coherent strategy, and useful intelligence and little progress was made against the Mau Mau. An assault on the Naivasha police station and a massacre of civilians in the village of Lari in March 1953 dramatically escalated the conflict. Mau Mau activity also began to surface in the city of Nairobi, which had a large Kikuyu population. Many Kikuyu were sympathetic to the Mau Mau cause and provided the insurgents with supplies. They also housed them, thereby facilitating attacks in the city and the neighboring Kiambu District.
In June General George Erskine was dispatched to Kenya to assume control over British forces. He immediately began instituting reforms and organised a series of attacks against the Mau Mau. In January 1954 the British captured rebel leader Waruhiu Itote, who gave them critical information about Mau Mau deployments and strategy under interrogation. Two months later the colonial command structure was overhauled, increasing decision-making efficiency and granting Erskine greater influence in the process.
Prelude
Erskine intended on relocating all Kikuyu, Embu, and Meru people from Nairobi, but the colonial government rejected the plan, citing potential harm to the local economy and administration. The operation was based on one British security forces had conducted in Tel Aviv, Palestine. Its legality was assured by the Emergency Regulations and the Control of Nairobi Regulations of 1954, the latter of which permitted the colonial governor to issue "Evacuation Orders" to remove and detain individuals from the city so they could be screened for connections with the Mau Mau. Four battalions were earmarked for the action. In the weeks preceding the operation rumors circulated among the African population that Nairobi was due to be subjected to a security sweep. Some insurgents moved to the outskirts of the city and were thus outside the cordoned area.
Operation
On 04:30 on 24 April British forces initiated Operation Anvil, sealing off every road and track leading in or out of Nairobi. Government forces then surrounded locations which were home to substantial Kikuyu populations in the city such as Makongeni, Bahati, Kariokor, Ziwani, and Pumwani, to prevent Mau Mau from escaping. Informers disguised with hoods identified suspected rebels to the authorities. Within 48 hours the British had detained 206 known insurgents. In the following weeks over 50,000 Africans were detained and questioned. Nevertheless, numerous leading figures among the rebels managed to escape from Nairobi into the countryside. The operation ended on 26 May.
Aftermath
Operation Anvil marked a turning-point in the British campaign against the Mau Mau. The action left the insurgents mostly isolated in the forested mountains of Nyandarwa and Kirinyaga without access to supplies and the assistance of passive supporters. It proved to be the most sophisticated undertaking of the Kenyan Emergency. In the following weeks Mau Mau activity surrounding Nairobi remained minor, though a few insurgents reestablished themselves in the outskirts. The British maintained a large security force in the city, conducted regular searches of the African districts, and monitored traffic in and out of the metropolis through the end of October.
In the process of expelling the majority of Nairobi's Kikuyu inhabitants, the British had removed most of the city's unemployed and vagrant population. The local juvenile court was tasked with adjudicating the fate of the younger detainees, but was nearly overwhelmed by their numbers; in the months following the operation magistrates handled over 2,700 prisoners, in comparison to the 558 managed the previous nine months. The demographics of the city's labour force also changed dramatically, with only a quarter of Nairobi workers coming from Kikuyu, Embu, and Meru areas after the operation.
The British devised a three-tiered classification system to handle their prisoners. The "White" grade consisted of detainees set to be released back into Nairobi or transferred to the native reserves. The released initially consisted of mostly trusted members of the armed forces or the colonial administration, though as the sorting process continued the category broadened. Around 2,150 women and 4,000 children were sent to the reserves. The "Grey" grade was made up of prisoners believed to be passive Mau Mau sympatherisers though for whom strong evidence suggesting their true loyalties was lacking. The last category, "Black", was reserved for detainees identified by the hooded informers or the Special Branch of the Kenya Police as potentially violent insurgents or terrorists. A few may have been prosecuted by the government, but most were funneled through the "Pipeline", a system of work camps, decreasing in brutality until an individual was "re-educated" and deemed safe to release on a native reserve.

Gunyar Thana Malakand
|
Gunyar or Gul-e-Anaar (Means a Flower of Pomegranate) is a village near Thana, Malakand district, Pakistan. The residents of the village consist mostly of Madey-Khel Miagaan (the ancestors of Madey Baba and Serai Baba). The nearby villages of Gunyar are Thana, Chapai, Maizara, Aladhand Dherai and Nalu. Most of the people of this village also live in Karachi (In Karachi, the population of Gunyari people is greater than in Gunyar village), U.A.E, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and England.
Medieval history
Odigram near Barikot 25 kilometer northeast of Gunyar was the capital of the ancient Swati tribes which was overrun by Alexander in 327BC. The Greek warrior could not establish any durable rule but disturbed the region that called for intervention by the Indian Maurya Empire in 305 BC. Gandhara civilization had flourished under the Kushan Dynasty. Monuments of the Hindu Shahi the likes of Shingardar Stupa (Gunbad) given below is standing tall in the foot hill of Kumbazara forest and other archaeological ruins at Zangal Cheena and Manray Tangay. The Muslim period in the history of Swat had started with excursions of Mahmud Ghaznavi (1001) and the Shaheedan strategically located at the two entrance routes Palosi Shaheedan and the Mutepatay Shaheedan are reminders of that period.
Contemporary history
The patriarch saint and warrior Madhay Baba is known to have come to Swat along with Babar’s troops led by Mirza Balakh Baig in 1519 (the date Babar married Bibi Mubarika daughter of Shah Mansur). He had three sons, namely; Mian Saleh, Mian Syed and Mian Peer Dad. They supported the Yousafzai chieftain Malik Ahmad Khan forces in their struggle for occupation of Swat against Tanoli and Gabar tribes. The grave of Mian Saleh Baba is at Mura Hill and Mian Syed Baba is at Maizara. Madhay Baba he was the youngest son of the Hindu Raja, his father's name was Madhu Ram and his mother's name was Madhu Bhala. Madhu Ram was killed in the battle of Takht Bhai after the Muslim victory. Madhey Baba was adopted by a Muslim warlord from the Yousafzai tribe, in fact Madhay Baba's origin was from a purely Hindu family. When he was captured by Muslim troops he was only 3 years old. He converted to Islam, and his tribe became known as "Madhay Khail Miyangan". His father Madhu Ram is buried at Jalala in Mardan District. Shah Mansur a cousin of Malik Ahmad and a prominent leader of the Yousafzai was a follower of Mian Peer Dad and was given endowment of coveted property near Landaki popularly known “Shah Mansur” during the land distribution among the Yousafzai clans (1525-1535) and was given the title “Sarai Baba”. This was the property that the Khan Khel of Thana claimed during 1942-1946 but lost the bid because Quazi Mohammad Yousaf assisted by Sultan Mahmud produced evidence of Madhay Khel ownership in the court of Kenneth Pickman, political Agent Malakand (1942-1944).
Organizations
Gunyar Youth Welfare Association (1984)
Projects undertook; Social Development (Health & Education); Environment related projects; Livestock Improvement Projects; Seed Production & Distribution Projects; Infrastructure development Project (Bridges; roads & streets): Interaction with International Agencies & Government of Pakistan. Primary School for Boys was built in 1957 and was upgraded to, Middle School in 1993. Primary School for Girls was established in 1988 and was upgraded to Middle School in 2004. The Association trained one of the local girls at the Polyclinic Hospital, Islamabad in nursing and a Basic Health Unit was established in the Community Center where Child & Women Health was profiled. A Handicraft center for women was also established to train young ladies in sewing & knitting. The nurse is now appointed by the Health Department as a Lady Health Visitor for Gunyar and the surrounding villages. The Gunyar Youth planted 100 hectare Community Reserved Forest in line with the objectives of National Conservation Strategy in 1986. The Youth Welfare Association successfully formed a farmers group and initiated a tube-well irrigation project that increased productivity by 10 folds. A farmer described his newfound wealth by saying, 'previously I owned a donkey, now I have a Suzuki Jeep".

Aceria tosichella
|
Aceria tosichella, commonly known as the wheat curl mite (WCM), is a global cereal pest and a vector for spreading and transmission of viruses like wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and wheat mosaic virus (WMoV)
Distribution
The distribution of this eriophyid mite is observed mostly in the wheat producing areas of Europe, North and South America.
Biology
When it feeds on wheat, A. tosichella transmits the wheat streak mosaic virus. Infected plants show long yellow streaks, associated with some degree of chlorosis which may lead to death of the affected foliage. In Oklahoma, the disease usually appears in late April and early May when the weather warms up.
Transcriptome
Recently, researchers at USDA-ARS published the whole transcriptome of WCM, and showed that WSMV infection alters gene expression of its vector, wheat curl mite, to enhance mite development and population expansion, to increase transmission.

Sovereign Principality of the United Netherlands
|
The Sovereign Principality of the United Netherlands () was a short-lived sovereign principality and the precursor of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, in which it was reunited with the Southern Netherlands in 1815. The principality was proclaimed in 1813 when the victors of the Napoleonic Wars established a political reorganisation of Europe, which would eventually be defined by the Congress of Vienna.
Proclamation
After the liberation of the Netherlands from France by Prussian and Russian troops in 1813, a provisional government took over the country. It was headed by a triumvirate of Dutch noblemen, Frans Adam van der Duyn van Maasdam, Leopold of Limburg Stirum and Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp. This Triumvirate of 1813 formally took control over the liberated country on 20 November and declared the Principality of the United Netherlands a day thereafter.
It was a foregone conclusion that any new government would have to be headed by William Frederick, the son of the last Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic, William V. Although many members of the provisional government had helped drive out William V eighteen years earlier, most of its leading members agreed that it would be better for the Dutch to invite William Frederick themselves rather than have him imposed by the Allies. After receiving an invitation from the Triumvirate, William Frederick returned from his exile in England. He disembarked from HMS Warrior and landed at Scheveningen beach on 30 November 1813. While the Triumvirate offered to make him king, William Frederick turned it down, instead proclaiming himself "Sovereign Prince" of the United Netherlands on 2 December. He also insisted on "a wise constitution" for the liberated country.
Constitution
Later that year, a commission seated by Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp was assembled and tasked with drafting a constitution. On 29 March 1814, a so-called "Assembly of Notables" met in Amsterdam to vote for the final draft. 474 of the 600 members of this assembly showed up to vote and only 26 of them, mostly Catholics, voted against it resulting in the draft being accepted by a vast majority. The constitution, which would be in force for over a year, introduced a centralised monarchy in which the prince held much power, although it did contain some democratic elements. A unicameral States General was introduced with its 55 members elected provincially by the States-Provincial. Those States were in turn elected by cities, countryside and nobility. The States General had the right of initiative and had to approve or disapprove all proposed legislation. However, the prince could settle many affairs by decree, greatly limiting the say of the States General. The power of the provinces and cities was considerably limited compared to during the Dutch Republic. Several fundamental rights were adopted from the French period. The constitution included freedom of religion and there were provisions of law and criminal procedure. William Frederick was formally inaugurated as sovereign prince by the assembly in the New Church in Amsterdam on 30 March.
Reunification
In the former Austrian Netherlands, conquered by France in 1794 and annexed in 1795, the Allies made quick progress also. This presented the problem of what to do with this country. The thirty most prominent families of Brussels expressed the wish to restore the old Governorate-general of the Austrians and this was provisionally instituted by the Allies in February 1814 as their military government. However, Austria itself expressed little interest in resuming its rule. Therefore, the Allies provisionally apportioned the country to the new Dutch state in the secret annexes to the Treaty of Chaumont. This was further formalised in the Treaty of Paris of 30 May 1814, in which Belgium on the left bank of the river Meuse was apportioned to the (future) Netherlands, whereas the fate of the right bank area was to be determined later.
How this was to be structured was however still to be decided, while certain expectations had been raised by the representatives of the Belgian people at Chaumont in February that also needed to be honoured in some way. These "loose ends" were taken care of in the protocol that came to be known as the "Eight Articles of London". Under this treaty signed on 21 June 1814, William Frederick was awarded with the former Austrian Netherlands. He became Governor-General of Belgium on 1 August, leading to personal union between Northern and Southern Netherlands. For all intents and purposes, William Frederick had completed the House of Orange's three-century quest to unite the Low Countries.
William Frederick subsequently tried to get the assent of the (carefully selected) representatives of the Belgian people to the Dutch constitution, but encountered opposition from those who were suspicious of designs to undermine the position of the Catholic Church in those provinces. Nonetheless, the reunification was finalised on 16 March 1815 when William Frederick was crowned King William I of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in Brussels.

Corporate Watch
|
Corporate Watch (The Corporate Watch Co-Operative Ltd.) is a research group based in the UK. It describes itself as a "research group that helps people stand up against corporations and capitalism." And as a "not-for-profit co-operative providing critical information on the social and environmental impacts of corporations and capitalism." It was established in 1996.
Corporate Watch is run as a workers' co-operative. It is incorporated as a company, limited by guarantee, and registered in the United Kingdom, number 03865674.
Research
Corporate Watch has two main research approaches:
"Targeted research for grassroots campaign groups". For example, researchers have worked with neighbourhood housing campaigns, precarious workers' trade unions, environmental groups, migrant solidarity groups, care workers, and families of prisoners. This research can support campaigns by "e.g. profiling a particular company, digging into its accounts, uncovering scandals, finding weak points."
"Broader research and analysis into how capitalism works, issues and news." This includes producing books on subjects such as the AZ of Green Capitalism, The UK Border Regime, or Prison Island (on UK prison expansion).
Corporate Watch encourages "individuals and groups to contact us with information and requests about companies they think need looking into."
Training
Corporate Watch also provides training and resources so that more people can learn how to investigate companies. These include:
Tailored training sessions for "groups, organisations and individuals who want to investigate a company and its actions." These are run free for unfunded grassroots groups and campaigns; larger groups such as unions, universities and NGOs pay on a sliding scale.
The free "Know Your Enemy" online course
Investigating Companies: a Do-It-Yourself Handbook, which can be downloaded for free from the Corporate Watch website
Research areas and notable investigations
Environment
"Wreckers of the Earth" map. Corporate Watch's "Wreckers of the Earth" project is a map and directory of "300 London-based companies destroying the planet". It was first published in 2020, and updated in October 2021. It includes a poster map for printing; an online map using OpenStreetMap, listing all the companies' main office locations; and a company directory with entries giving the companies' addresses and explaining what they do. The second edition was published in the run-up to the COP 26 Climate Summit in Glasgow, where it was used by campaign groups including "Glasgow Calls Out Polluters"—who also produced an accompanying "Polluters Map" of Glasgow.
HS2 "who profits?". Corporate Watch has supported the campaign against the UK's planned HS2 (High Speed 2) railway, producing a "poster explainer" on "who profits" from the scheme.
In November 2021 Corporate Watch published a series of five reports on "Eco-defence and international solidarity". These highlighted ecological struggles around the world involving companies with bases in London.
Housing
A core strand of Corporate Watch's work has been investigating landlords and property developers in support of tenants' groups and people opposing the "gentrification" of their neighbourhoods. Examples include:
Report on Glasgow Housing Association (part of Wheatley Group), investigating its rent rise plans and finances, in support of Scottish tenants' union Living Rent
Reports on housing outsourcing company Mears Group, supporting the "Mears Cats" tenants group in East London, as well as residents of its Government-contracted housing for asylum seekers.
A report on the Australian-based multinational property developer Lendlease. This was used as part of the successful 2017-18 campaign against the "Haringey Development Vehicle" in London, the UK's biggest proposed privatisation of local property assets. (Lendlease responded to the Corporate Watch report with a rebuttal on its website.

"Covid Capitalism" and vaccine profiteering
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 Corporate Watch published two series of articles and reports on "#CoronaCapitalism" and "Vaccine Capitalism". The "Covid Capitalism" articles investigated companies profiting from the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, including outsourcing companies winning UK government contracts with little scrutiny. An article "Six ways that capitalism spreads the crisis" argued that the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses to it, were closely connected to structures of global capitalism.
The "Vaccine capitalism" series looked at the profits being forecast by pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca. Corporate Watch argued that these companies were making "huge profits" from vaccine sales, even though most R&D into the vaccines was heavily subsidised by public funds. (It included AstraZeneca in this critique, arguing that the company's claims to be forgoing profits from its vaccine were hollow in several respects.) It identified the source of these high profits in the intellectual property system that allows major corporations to patent drugs such as vaccines.
"The UK Border Regime"
Corporate Watch produces research in support of migrant campaigns, and groups opposing immigration raids, immigration detention and deportations. In particular, it produces regular reports on the companies profiteering from the UK's "Border Regime". These include:
Reports on the security firms that run immigration detention centres in the UK: Mitie, G4S, Serco, and GEO Group.
Investigations revealing the airlines that carry out deportation flights. These have looked at both charter airlines such as Titan, Tui, Privilege Style, and Hi Fly. And also scheduled airlines including British Airways, Easyjet and others.
Investigations into the "Asylum Housing" contractors that have Government contracts to provide housing for asylum seekers, including in ex-military barracks camps such as Napier in Kent, and Penally in Wales (now closed). These include Mears Group and Clearsprings Ready Homes. Corporate Watch also published an interview with the "Camp Residents of Penally (CROP)" residents union in support of their struggle for better conditions in the camp.
Corporate Watch's book The UK Border Regime, published in 2018, brings together much of the group's research on this area. It outlines how the UK immigration authorities work together as part of an overall "regime" with private sector contractors and collaborators, and also other players including lobby groups and media outlets pushing anti-migration messages.
Some recent reports have looked at:
How Brexit is affecting UK immigration policies, including the Home Office's high profile "deportation drive" against migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats.
The charities play in the "border regime": such as the charity funder Choose Love's decision to drop aid funding for migrants in Calais, which "whistleblower" sources claimed was linked to pressure from the Home Office.
Collaborations and re-use by media
Research by Corporate Watch is often reused by news outlets, and some Corporate Watch investigations are co-published with commercial media outlets. Examples include:
Homelessness charity involvement in immigration raids. In 2017, Corporate Watch revealed the role of UK homelessness charities including St Mungo's and Thames Reach in working with Home Office immigration officers. Charity outreach workers carried out joint patrols with Immigration Enforcement teams, and passed them information on rough-sleeping migrants, who were then targeted for deportation. The results of this investigation were co-published with The Guardian newspaper.
Targeting of nationalities for deportation. In 2015, Corporate Watch won a legal "Freedom of Information" battle with the UK Home Office to release information which showed that the Home Office was targeting specific nationalities for "removal" from the UK. The Government had previously denied this. This was reported on by The Guardian.
Harmondsworth detention centre. In 2014, Corporate Watch published undercover filming from inside Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre, the UK's biggest migrant detention centre, with Channel 4 News.
Payday lender Wonga. Investigations into the tax avoidance arrangements and corporate structure of payday lender Wonga.com, were co-published with The Mirror newspaper in October 2013. They were also then picked up by Accountancy Age and This is Money, amongst others.

Lee Si-young (poet)
|
Lee Si-Young (born August 6, 1950) (Hangul: ) is a South Korean writer.
Life
Lee was born in Gurye, Jeollanam-do Province, in Korea in 1950. He began publishing poetry in 1969, leading to his first volume Manweol (Full Moon in 1976). Ten years passed before his second collection. Lee served as vice-president of Publish Company for many years. He has also worked as the manager of the Creative Writing Center at Dankook University, and in 2012 he entered the position of chairman of the Board of the Writers Association of Korea.
.
Work
A poet of delicate sensibilities, Lee began his career depicting the gloomy everyday life under the Park Chung-hee military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s from the perspective of ordinary people—the subject he has explored with much love and sympathy. Such love has manifested in his desire to seek more than mere confessional release in his poetry: Lee aims to transform his art into a song for the suffering masses. His early poems are long and prose-like even, expressing his compassion towards the poor and the weak, and at the same time, embodying his fierce determination to preserve his humanity even amidst hardships.
In the 1990s Lee's poems became drastically shorter in length. Composed of no more than two or three lines, they came to resemble Zen Buddhist poems in their use of minimal language and compacted form to encapsulate profound meaning and symbolic resonance. Lee's poems from this period recall the fact the poet had made his literary debut with sijo or traditional Korean poetry characterized by highly restricted form.
Such evolution in Lee's poetic mode indicates that the urgency and the wrenching emotions of his early years have been replaced with psychological calm and contemplative leisure. Lee has acknowledged that it is perfectly fine for him if his poems are no more than small “ripples” that carry his heart out to the readers and “lap at their feet for a moment like fallen leaves” before disappearing. Lee now hopes that in this age of excess, his poetry will remain just such small ripples. Lee's poetry is at once a gentle reproach to overly emotional poets and at the same time the humble confession of an aging poet who has weathered much hardships and has remained true to his art.

Bagbati massacre
|
Bagbati massacre () refers to the killings of more than 200 unarmed Bengali Hindus by the Al Badar, Pakistan Army, Razakars and Peace Committee, in the Bagbati Union of Sirajganj sub-division in the erstwhile district of greater Pabna in May 1971. After the massacre the bodies were buried or dumped in wells.
Background
Bagbati Union was situated 14 km to the north west of Sirajganj sub-divisional headquarters. It is now under Sirajganj Sadar Upazila of Sirajganj District. When the Pakistan Army launched the Operation Searchlight and moved in to Sirajganj, hundreds of Bengali from Sirajganj and the surrounding areas took refuge in the villages of Bagbati, Harinagopal, Pipulberia and Dhaldob under Bagbati Union. A day before the massacre, a meeting was held at Ghorachara School between the Razakars and the Peace Committee. At the meeting it was decided that more than 500 people of Bagbati, Haringopal and Alokdia would be eliminated.
Killings
On the early morning of 27 May, in a joint operation the Pakistani army, Al Badr, Razakars and the Peace Committee, surrounded the villages. The Al Badrs opened fire indiscriminately and killed more than two hundred people, mostly Bengali Hindus. Numerous residences were looted on set on fire by the Al Badr, Razakars and the Peace Committee. The Pakistan Army raped the womenfolk. Days after the massacre, the survivors dumped the dead bodies in the wells of the deserted houses of the erstwhile landlords of Bagbati and Dhaldob.
Commemoration
The victims of the massacre are remembered through memorial services every year. A few years back a small memorial was constructed in one of the wells where the victims bodies were dumped, in a joint initiative between the Bagbati Union Parishad and the locals. The locals have demanded the restoration of the mass killing site and the mass graves.

William Walter Murray Yeatts
|
William Walter Murray Yeatts (died 4 August 1948) was Census Commissioner for the 1941 census of India, which was the last such exercise prior to the country's independence from the British Raj. He was appointed to the same office for the 1951 census, having elected to stay in the country, but died before it took place.
Yeatts was educated in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1914, following being awarded a degree, he joined the Royal Artillery and served during World War I. He then joined the Indian Civil Service in Madras. Between 1932 and 1946 he held various positions in the Government of India, culminating in his appointments as Census Commissioner for the 1941 and 1951 censuses of that country. He had previously been involved in the 1931 census of Madras Presidency.
His oversight of the 1941 census was inauspicious, in part because of the limitations imposed by the onset of World War II and in part because of significant changes that he was persuaded to make to the methodology. A keen sportsman, although aloof, his term as president of the Himalayan Club was also affected by the war, with the club's activities being necessarily curtailed.
Yeatts was made a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire in 1938 and a Companion of the Order of the Star of India in 1946. He died in Edinburgh on 4 August 1948.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of South Africa: In re Ex Parte President of the Republic of South Africa
|
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of SA and Another: In re ex parte President of the Republic of South Africa and Others is an important case in South African constitutional law. It deals with relevant issues about the role of the courts in controlling public power, and raises the question of whether or not a court has the power to review and set aside a decision by the President of South Africa to bring an Act of Parliament into force.
The Constitutional Court held that the purpose of section 172(2)(a) was to ensure that the Constitutional Court, as the highest court in constitutional matters, controls declarations of constitutional invalidity made against the highest organs of state. This purpose would be defeated, the court found, if the issue in casu, concerning the legality of the President's conduct (a matter of considerable importance), were characterised as not falling within section 172(2)(a); that would be to remove it from the controlling power of the Constitutional Court. The section was, therefore, to be given a wide meaning as far as the President's conduct was concerned.
Facts
The matter arose when the Transvaal High Court was requested to review and set aside the President’s decision to bring the South African Medicines and Medical Devices Regulatory Authority Act 1998 into operation on 30 April 1999. The purpose of the Act was to govern the registration and control of medicines for human and animal use, and to replace previous legislation dealing with these matters. The Act sought to control the flow of medicines on the market by classifying medicines into specific categories. In order to be effective, the Act required a comprehensive regulatory infrastructure, including the determination of schedules regulating the manufacture, sale and possession of substances controlled by the Act. The applicants (the President and others) alleged that, through an error made in good faith, the Act had been brought into operation before the necessary regulatory infrastructure had been put in place, and that, as a consequence, the entire regulatory structure had been rendered unworkable. The result would be highly damaging to the public in that control over dangerous medicines would be lost before the new schedules were in place.
Judgment
The matter was referred to the Constitutional Court by the High Court for confirmation of its order declaring the decision of the President to bring the Act into force null and void. The Constitutional Court, in a unanimous decision delivered by Chaskalson P, confirmed the order of the Transvaal High Court, but gave reasons that were different from those of the High Court. Two issues had to be decided by the Court. The first was whether or not the High Court’s order, setting aside the President’s decision, was a finding of “constitutional invalidity” that required confirmation by the Constitutional Court under section 172(2) of the Constitution. If so, the second issue was whether the President’s decision to bring the Act into force was constitutionally valid or not.
Confirmation
Commenting on whether the High Court’s order was a finding of "constitutional invalidity," the Court emphasised that the control of public power by the courts through judicial review is, and always has been, a constitutional matter. This is so irrespective of whether the principles are set out in a written Constitution or contained in the common law.
Judicial review is an incident of the separation of powers, under which courts regulate and control the exercise of public power by the other branches of government. Before the interim Constitution came into force, in April 1994, the principles of judicial review were developed through the “crucible” of the common law. Since the adoption of the interim Constitution, public power is controlled by the written Constitution, which is the supreme law. The common-law precedent continues to inform the law only to the extent that it is consistent with the Constitution. Consequently, there is only one system of law. Thus, orders of invalidity under the courts’ powers of judicial review are orders of constitutional invalidity. If the order of invalidity relates to conduct of the President, section 172(2) of the Constitution requires that it be confirmed by the Constitutional Court.
In this regard, the court held that, as the Constitutional Court, it "occupies a special place in this new constitutional order." It had been established as part of that order, "as a new Court with no links to the past," to be the highest Court in respect of all constitutional matters, "and, as such, the guardian of our Constitution." It had exclusive jurisdiction in respect of certain constitutional matters, and made the final decision on those constitutional matters which also fell within the jurisdiction of other courts.
It was within this context that section 172(2)(a) had to be construed. That section was concerned with law-making acts of the legislatures at the two highest levels, and with the conduct of the President who, as head of State and of the Executive, was the highest functionary within the State. The use of the words "any conduct of the President" indicated that "the section is to be given a wide meaning as far as the conduct of the President is concerned." The section's "apparent purpose" was to ensure that the Constitutional Court, as the highest Court in constitutional matters, should control declarations of constitutional invalidity made against the highest organs of State. That purpose would be defeated if an issue concerning the legality of conduct of the President, which raised a constitutional issue of considerable importance, could be characterised as not falling within section 172(2)(a), and thereby removed from the controlling power of the Constitutional Court under that section.
The decision of the Full Bench of the High Court was accordingly subject to confirmation by the Constitutional Court under section 172(2)(a).
Review and setting aside
In deciding the second question, the court noted the reluctance of courts in other countries to review decisions of this nature because of the political nature of the judgment required, and its closeness to legislative powers.
The Court held that the power was not “administrative action,” as contemplated in the administrative justice clause in the bill of rights, and therefore did not fall within the controls of public power set out in that clause. Rather, it was a power of a special nature, the character of which is neither legislative nor administrative, although it is more closely linked to the legislative than the administrative function. However, the exercise of such a power is not beyond the reach of judicial review, because the exercise of all power must conform with the Constitution, and, in particular, the requirements of the rule of law—a foundational principle in the Constitution. The Court held that this includes the requirement that a decision, viewed objectively, must be rationally related to the purpose for which the power was given. Thus, even if the President acts in good faith, his decision may be invalid if it does not meet this objective requirement. This does not mean, however, that a court may interfere with a decision simply because it disagrees with it or considers that the power was exercised inappropriately.
On the facts, the court held that the decision to bring the Act into force on April 30, 1999, before the necessary schedules were in place, although through no fault of the President, was objectively irrational. It noted that no rational basis for the decision had been suggested, and that the President himself had approached the court urgently, with the support of the Minister of Health and the professional associations most directly affected by the Act.
Effect
The effect of the Constitutional Court’s decision in this case was that the 1965 legislation that governed the control of medicinal substances, and that was to be replaced by the 1998 Act, remained in force until such time as the President determined a date for bringing the new Act into force.

The 2001 Arab Athletics Championships was the twelfth edition of the international athletics competition between Arab countries which took place in Damascus, Syria from 2–5 October. A total of 44 events were contested. The women's heptathlon and half marathon events were not held, although one new women's event was held for the first time: the pole vault. The electronic timing system at the event failed during the competition and as a result some of the races were hand-timed. Results for all such hand timed events were recorded to the tenth of a second, rather than the hundredth of a second typically used in electronic times. The distance for the men's half marathon race was also mis-measured, falling short of the 21.1 km (13.1-mile) requirement.

Bursa Uludağ Gondola
|
The Bursa Uludağ Gondola (), or simply Teleferik as called locally, is an aerial lift line in Bursa Province connecting the city of Bursa with the nearby ski resort area and national park at Mt. Uludağ. Initially, as an aerial tramway line, it went in service in 1963, and served for fifty years until it was replaced by a modern system of gondola lift and extended into a ski resort area. The installation of a new line became unavoidable due to increased demand by tourists.
History
The initial line was an aerial tramway built by the Swiss company Von Roll Holding to enable easy access to the country's biggest ski resort area on Uludağ. Construction work began in 1958 and the line opened on 29 October 1963, the 40th anniversary Republic Day.
The base station is situated at Teferrüç neighborhood of Yıldırım district in southern Bursa. The long line served two stations at Uludağ, Kadıyayla and Sarıalan Yaylası. Two 20-seater cabins transported hourly 120 passengers. The service of aerial tramway ceased on 29 October 2013, after fifty years, to make way for a modern and higher capacity aerial lift system.
New aerial lift
The new aerial lift line was designed, and all the technical equipment was delivered by the Italian company Leitner Ropeways on a build–operate–transfer financing base for a lease period of 30 years. The stations were designed by Yamaç Korfalı from Bursa, who had worked with the renowned Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid in London. The transportation of material and the support towers to the difficult accessible areas in the national park was done by an aerial crane of Heliswiss. The construction works were carried out by Bursa Teleferik Company.
The new line is long using the existing line of , and extending it to the area of Oteller as the end station, where hotels are situated. In the past, the hotels and the ski areas could be reached only by taxi or bus after arriving at the end station in Sarıalan Yaylası. There are a total of 45 support towers between the end stations. 174 eight-seater gondola-type carriers are capable of transporting 1,500 passengers hourly between Teferrüç Station at and the end station Oteller at an altitude of . There are also VIP cabins with four seats. The capacity of the new line is more than 10-times of the old one. The journey between the end stations takes 22 minutes. As such, it is the world's longest gondola lift line.
The opening, initially planned to take place on 29 October 2013, the 90th anniversary Republic Day, was postponed due to delay in construction works of a new bigger station building in Sarıalan Yaylası caused by a court order.

Ruck Family massacre
|
The Ruck Family massacre took place during the Mau Mau Uprising. Farmer Roger Ruck, his wife Esme and six-year-old son Michael, along with one of their African servants, were killed by Mau Mau, one of whom allegedly worked for the family. The killing shocked the European community in Kenya and was widely reported in the Kenyan and British press, with many including graphic photographs of the dead child. The incident was significant in radicalising the settler population. Within 48 hours of the killings, 1,500 European settlers marched on Government House, demanding action from then Governor of Kenya Evelyn Baring.
The massacre was fictionalised in the novel Something of Value by Robert Ruark, and in the 1957 film version.

Directed by Karl Zwicky, the film features an voice cast of well known actors including Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Hugo Weaving, Jack Thompson, Toni Collette and John Cleese.
The film was produced by Energee Entertainment, an Australian studio that also created the Wicked! series. Energee shut down in 2002 due to financial losses from The Magic Pudding.
Plot
In the South Pole, Bill Barnacle, his first mate Sam Sawnoff a penguin, and crewman Buncle a wombat, are shipwrecked after their ship is destroyed by a big wave. After Bill stops a starving Buncle from eating Sam, the iceberg cracks and produces an everlasting magic bowl of pudding. Buncle runs off with the pudding and claims it as his own, but the ice breaks and he falls into the sea. Bill and Sam manage to rescue the pudding, and after briefly mourning the apparent loss of Buncle, they choose to become the Pudding Owners dedicated to protecting it from thievery. The pudding is revealed to be alive and named Albert, who has a rude demeanor and demands that they continue to eat him.
Ten years later, a young koala named Bunyip Bluegum discovers that he is not an orphan and sets out on a quest to find his parents, Meg and Tom Bluegum. During his journey, he stumbles upon Bill and Sam and accidentally foils an attempt to steal Albert by two pudding thieves. Bill and Sam introduce each other to Bunyip and also introduce Albert, who reveals he's a thrill-seeker who often runs away to challenge other animals to try and eat him. Bunyip tries to ask a bandicoot with a watermelon for help in finding his parents, and the bandicoot tells Bunyip that the only one not afraid to reveal the answer is a frog on the log. Shortly after, Bunyip helps Bill and Sam foil another attempt by the pudding thieves to steal Albert, and Bill and Sam officially welcome Bunyip to the Pudding Owners group while explaining their history, and the four go together to find Bunyip's parents.
Meanwhile, Buncle is revealed to be alive and living underground, having enslaved a valley into bringing him food while still desiring to take Albert for himself. He is also revealed to be the one who has sent the pudding thieves, his nephew Watkin and his friend Patrick O'Possum, to bring him Albert, and it's also shown that one of the enslaved citizens are Meg and Tom Bluegum.
After foiling another attempt by the thieves to steal Albert, Bunyip falls into a creek where he dreams/hallucinates about his parents, before meeting the frog on the log. The frog tells him to solve a riddle to find the place where they were last seen, "Where two gums meet, yet stand alone, there's plenty of water, but dry as a bone". Later, the pudding thieves finally succeed in stealing Albert by starting a fire as a distraction, but the Pudding Owners find their house and eventually rescue Albert.
Albert mocks Bunyip's desire to find his parents, causing Bunyip to lose his temper and kick Albert into two interwoven trees. There, they discover two gum trees overlooking a valley with a dam that feeds water into Tooraloo, solving the frog's riddle. As the Pudding Owners head to the town, the thieves open the dam, flooding the town, but Bunyip uses Albert to fill sacks and make a dam. The grateful residents celebrate, and when Bunyip explains his quest, the townspeople take them to the entrance of Buncle's underground lair, saying no one ever comes out. Bunyip begins to despair of ever finding his parents, but Albert slides down inside in his bowl, followed by Bunyip, Bill and Sam. Inside, Buncle is berating the thieves for their failed attempts, when Albert bounces into his lap. Buncle has the thieves thrown in with the slaves before celebrating the capture of the pudding with a large party.
During the party, Bunyip and Bill free the slaves, including Meg and Tom, while Sam distracts Buncle by dressing as a woman. After they escape, Bunyip finally recognizes his parents, and they share a warm reunion, before Bunyip goes with Bill and Sam to rescue Albert from Buncle. As Buncle tries to eat Albert, Bunyip, remembering that Albert can change his pudding forms whenever somebody demands it, demands Albert for a double serving, intending to give Buncle the double. As Albert splits, his good and evil half fight, quickly growing bigger until breaking out of the cavern. Buncle then demands for 'all the puddin's in the world', only to fall into one of the Albert's mouths and is spat far away. Albert splits into millions of puddings before turning back to normal and falling back into his bowl, apparently dead. Everyone begins to mourn, until Albert wakes up, and everyone rejoices.
Later, Bill, Sam and Albert are living a new life with the Bluegums, as well as Rumpus and Wattleby, the ones who raised Bunyip during his childhood. Bunyip breaks the fourth wall by inviting the viewers to join them for a slice of pudding, unless they happen to be a "pudding thief", while the Pudding Owners foil yet another attempt by the two pudding thieves to get Albert for themselves.
In a mid-credit scene, Buncle is shown to have crash-landed back in the South Pole, where he lands on a floating ice block. He bemoans his failure to capture Albert before falling unconscious as the ice block carries him away.

Production
The Lindsay family had previously rejected many international requests to sell the rights to The Magic Pudding, preferring to wait until an Australian company presented the right formula for adaptation. Past contenders were the now-infamous Rolf Harris, Jim Henson Productions and even Walt Disney himself. Eventually, in 1997, the Lindsays sold the film rights to Energee Entertainment, one of the country’s then-leading independent animation companies.
Release
The film was first released in Australia on 14 December 2000, and was released theatrically by the local branch of 20th Century Fox.
The VHS tape and DVD were released in Australia in May 2001 by Roadshow Entertainment.
It was then released in New Zealand four months later after the Australian release on 9 April 2001.
A re-release of the DVD was released in Australia in 2013.
Although the film has yet to have an official DVD or Blu-ray release in North America, it is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime and Roku.
It was also on Tubi for a bit.
Critical reception
The Magic Pudding was released to mixed reviews with most critics perceiving it as a failed attempt to do justice to Lindsay's work.
Australian critics, such as Louise Keller, Andrew L. Urban, and David Edwards, have given the film positive reviews.
After the film bombed at the box office, Energee went into financial difficulties. It was placed into administration on June 28, 2002 and closed down for good not too long after.
Soundtrack
A soundtrack, recorded by the Marionette Theatre of Australia, was released on 14 July 2001.
Video games
The Magic Pudding Adventure - The same month when the movie was released, an interactive game called "The Magic Pudding Adventure" was released with video highlights from the movie and 5 re-playable activities including Sink or Swim also released on DVD.

Ametropic amblyopia
|
Ametropic amblyopia is a medical condition in which the retina cannot focus on the image of a distant object, a condition often described as reduced visual acuity. This is due to large uncorrected refractive errors in the patient's optic system of the eyes. Astigmatism is one of the most frequent causes of ametropic amblyopia.

Operation Mushroom
|
Operation Mushroom was the use of airpower by the Royal Air Force against the Mau Mau Movement during the Mau Mau Uprising in British Kenya from 1953 to 1956.
Development
For an extended period of time, the chief British weapon against the forest fighters was air power. Between June 1953 and October 1955, the RAF provided a significant contribution to the conflict—and, indeed, had to, for the army was preoccupied with providing security in the reserves until January 1955, and it was the only service capable of both psychologically influencing and inflicting considerable casualties on the Mau Mau fighters operating in the dense forests. Lack of timely and accurate intelligence meant bombing was rather haphazard, but almost 900 insurgents had been killed or wounded by air attacks by June 1954, and it did cause forest gangs to disband, lower their morale, and induce their pronounced relocation from the forests to the tribal reservations.
Contrary to what is sometimes claimed, Lancaster bombers were not used during the Emergency, though Lincolns were. The latter flew their first mission on 18 November 1953 and remained in Kenya until 28 July 1955, dropping nearly 6 million bombs. They and other aircraft, such as blimps, were also deployed for reconnaissance, as well as in the propaganda war, conducting large-scale leaflet-drops.
After the Lari massacre, for example, British planes dropped leaflets showing graphic pictures of the Kikuyu women and children who had been hacked to death. Unlike the rather indiscriminate activities of British ground forces, the use of air power was more restrained (though there is disagreement on this point), and air attacks were initially permitted only in the forests. Operation Mushroom extended bombing beyond the forest limits in May 1954, and Churchill consented to its continuation in January 1955.

Richard Blackstock
|
Richard Blackstock (13 July 1838 – 3 February 1893) was an English cricketer active in first-class cricket, making four appearances in the 1850s and 1860s. Born at Oxton, Birkenhead, Cheshire, Blackstock was a right-handed batsman who played as a wicket-keeper.
Career
A club cricketer for Birkenhead Park Cricket Club, keeping wicket for the club when William Lockhart was unavailable. Blackstock made his first-class debut in 1858 at The Oval when he played for the Gentlemen of the North against the Gentlemen of the South. His next appearance in first-class cricket came five years later in 1863, when he played two matches for the North in the North v South fixture. Two years later he made a single first-class appearance for Lancashire in its inaugural first-class match against Middlesex, with Blackstock opening the batting and therefore having the distinction of being the first Lancashire batsman to face a delivery in first-class cricket. Across his four first-class appearances, Blackstock scored a total of 154 runs at an average of 22.00, with a high score of 47.
Outside of cricket he was a builders merchant. He died at Oxton on 3 February 1893.

Predicament (2010 film)
|
Predicament is a 2010 comedy horror film based on the 1975 novel by Ronald Hugh Morrieson and starring Jemaine Clement of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords plus Tim Finn of the Finn Brothers. Filmed in Hawera and Eltham in Taranaki, it was the last Morrieson novel to be adapted for cinema; his other three novels were filmed in the 1980s.
Plot
Based on the novel of the same name, Predicament is a coming-of-age story and a crime comedy. It's an account of the powerful and disturbing psychological fantasy world of adolescence within the familiar small-town setting of novelist Morrieson's writing.
Naïve teenager Cedric Williamson is involved with two older criminally inclined misfits in photographing and blackmailing amorous couples, and ends up an accomplice to murder. It is set in a 1930s Taranaki town similar to Morrieson's Hawera.
But while Morrieson's first two novels were published in Australia, Predicament was rejected by Angus & Robertson. It went through numerous drafts, many abandoned, before (like Pallet on the Floor) being published posthumously by Dunmore Press of Palmerston North in 1975.
Cast
Film
The opening scene is of a hunched figure digging in the darkness, and demonstrates Simon Raby's superb cinematography; as does the next (daytime) shot of a high rickety wooden tower built by Cedric's mentally unbalanced father Martin. But when the characters start talking, what ought to be a darkly hilarious crime comedy dissolves into mush, according to reviewer David Larsen. The screenplay was written by the director Jason Stutter, who "chopped up and rearranged" Morrieson's dialogue.

The program delivered news and current events coming from Northern Mindanao, Caraga and parts of Zamboanga Peninsula (including Isabela City, Jolo and Bongao). It was simulcasted on TV-12 Bukidnon, TV-11 Iligan, TV-5 Ozamis, TV-4 Dipolog and TV-3 Pagadian.
Testigo Northern Mindanao was premiered on February 5, 2013 after the launching of GMA Northern Mindanao, with Kenneth Ragpala as its first anchor. Ragpala was later joined by reporter Joe Legaspina as his co-anchor. Before the year 2013 ends, Ragpala left the newscast leaving Legaspina as the newscast's sole anchor.
This was also the first time that a regional newscast with the same name in Davao City had spun off into another regional newscast for Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao viewers.
Following changes of its now-main newscast 24 Oras, Testigo Northern Mindanao was rebranded as 24 Oras Northern Mindanao effective November 10, 2014.
However, that change suddenly cuts short when the newscast was abruptly cancelled on April 24, 2015 after more than two years of broadcast due to the strategic streamlining happened to all provincial stations of the network. Following the cancellation was the retrenchment of its staff and personalities and the closure of the network's regional news department.

Leiobunum blackwalli is a species of harvestman. It is found in Europe.
Leiobunum blackwalli grows to 6 mm in females and 4 mm in males. The second pair of legs grow to 50mm. Similar in appearance to L. rotundum, the abdomen is broader at the rear and the dark marking broader at the rear than the front with a sharper cutoff than L. rotundum, and the palps are pale.
This harvestman is widespread throughout Britain and Europe, though less common than L. rotundum. It is usually found in woods or damp places, and also in gardens.

Peder Hansen (28 December 1859 – ??) was a Norwegian politician for the Moderate Liberal Party.
He was born at Hage in Fuse as a son of farmers Hans Johannesen Hage and Gurine Nilsdatter. He started his professional career as a smith at the shipyard Laksevaag maskin- og jernskibsbyggeri in 1877. In 1894 he advanced to foreman. From 1904 to 1911 he lived as a merchant in Kristiania, but in 1911 he settled as a farmer.
He was a member of Askøen municipal council, and also served as an elector while Norway had such a political system. He was elected to the Parliament of Norway in 1900. He served one term for the constituency of Søndre Bergenhus Amt before being a deputy representative during the term 1904–1906.

Zealand v Minister of Justice
|
Zealand v Minister of Justice is an important case in South African constitutional law.
Facts
In January 1997, the applicant was charged with crimes which included rape and murder. The matter was postponed. While he was remanded in custody, he escaped. He was re-arrested some three months later and then charged with escaping from custody. He was convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment wholly suspended, but remained in prison as an awaiting-trial-prisoner.
In September 1998 he was charged with a second murder, for which he was convicted and sentenced to eighteen years' imprisonment. His appeal against the second murder, in August 1999, was successful, but the Registrar of the High Court negligently failed to issue a warrant for the applicant's release. He remained in a maximum-security prison until December 2004, over five years later.
Throughout the years of his detention, his first murder case had been repeatedly postponed. In addition, the record showed that, on October 11, 2001, a magistrate had ordered that his case be postponed, and that he be released on warning. The record did not show why this was not done.
He sued the Ministers of Correctional Services and Justice, the respondents, for damages arising from unlawful detention.
In their defence the respondents admitted negligence but contended that, if the applicant had been released from maximum-security prison he would immediately have been transferred to a medium-security prison as an awaiting-trial prisoner.
High Court
The High Court found that his entire detention had been unlawful.
Supreme Court of Appeal
When the Ministers appealed, the Supreme Court of Appeal found that only the detention since 11 October 2001 had been unlawful.
Constitutional Court
Leave to appeal
The court held that the question of whether the applicant's detention was consistent with the principle of legality and his right to freedom and security of the person in section 12(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, was a constitutional matter. "In light of the view I take of the matter," wrote Langa CJ, "the application for leave to appeal should be granted."
Merits
The legal issue before the Constitutional Court in this application to appeal to it (to have the whole five years declared unlawful) was whether it is lawful to detain a person as if he were a convicted prisoner where
the ostensible basis for his detention is absent because a court of law has upheld his appeal; but
he is awaiting trial on other charges.
The court held that section 12(1)(a) of the Constitution enshrines the right not to be deprived of freedom arbitrarily or without just cause.
The respondents bore the burden of justifying the applicant's deprivation of liberty. The applicant had been "deprived of liberty" because, inter alia,
the difference between the two prison sections was of great significance; and
the one was for awaiting-trial prisoners who are presumed innocent while the other was for those who were being punished.
Respect for human dignity demanded that this difference be recognised. This obligation, the court observed, is entrenched in article 10(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and in sections 82 and 83 of the Correctional Services Act 8 of 1959, as well as Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998.
The court held that the deprivation had been "arbitrary and without just cause." Detention in maximum security had not been for any considered reason; it was due to negligence, and was therefore unlawful. The fact that a series of magistrates had ordered it was not sufficient to negate this finding.
Damages
Having found that his detention for the entire period was unlawful, in the sense that section 12(1)(a) of the Constitution was unjustifiably and unreasonably violated, the question now arose: Was that sufficient, in this case, to justify a finding that the applicant's detention was also unlawful or wrongful in the sense required by the private law delictual action of unlawful or wrongful detention?
In Rail Commuters Action Group and Others v Transnet Ltd t/a Metrorail and Others, the Constitutional Court had considered the relationship between violations of constitutional rights in public law and delictual claims against the State in private law, and had unanimously held, on the one hand, that "private law damages claims are not always the most appropriate method to enforce constitutional rights." It had held, further, that "it should also be emphasised that a public law obligation does not automatically give rise to a legal duty for the purposes of the law of delict." On the other hand, the court also held that it "should not be understood to suggest that delictual relief should not lie for the infringement of constitutional rights in appropriate circumstances. There will be circumstances where delictual relief is appropriate."
Accordingly, the court had held in Rail Commuters that, when determining whether an action lies in the private law of delict when a public-law duty has been breached, the constitutional norm of accountability should be considered. Furthermore, careful analysis of the relevant constitutional provisions, any relevant statutory duties and the relevant context would be required. It would be necessary, too, to take account of other constitutional norms, important and relevant ones being the principle of effectiveness and the need to be responsive to people's needs.
Having considered Rail Commuters, Langa found that Zealand was
not an appropriate case to traverse fully the complex relationship between public law duties and private law remedies. Suffice it to say the following. I can think of no reason why an unjustifiable breach of s 12(1)(a) of the Constitution should not be sufficient to establish unlawfulness for the purposes of the applicant's delictual action of unlawful or wrongful detention.
Moreover, he noted, South Africa also bears an international obligation in this regard, in terms of article 9(5) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which provides that "anyone who has been the victim of unlawful arrest or detention shall have an enforceable right to compensation."
The breach of section 12(1)(a) was therefore sufficient, in the circumstances of this case, to render the applicant's detention unlawful for the purposes of a delictual claim for damages. "That," wrote Langa, "will be the most effective way to vindicate the applicant's constitutional right. I expect that to be the case in most instances of unlawful detention." The order made by the Supreme Court of Appeal was accordingly set aside.

Heclahamna is a natural harbour in Ny-Friesland at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is located south of Crozierpynten, at the eastern side of Sorgfjorden. The harbour is named after the British naval vessel from Parry's 1827 expedition. Swedish members of the Swedish-Russian Arc-of-Meridian Expedition built a land station at this site, and overwintered there from 1899 to 1900.

The Rotherham by-election was held on 28 March 1963 after the death of the Labour MP John Henry Jones in a road accident. It was won by the Labour candidate Brian O'Malley.
493 people serving in the Armed Forces applied for nomination papers, as it was usual practice at the time that any serving personnel doing so would be given an honourable discharge. However, unlike by-elections late the previous year, none of the candidates paid a deposit and so they secured their release without appearing on the ballot paper.

The 1916 Rotherham by-election was a Parliamentary by-election held on 26 January 1916. The constituency returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.
Vacancy
Rt Hon. Jack Pease had been Liberal MP for the seat of Rotherham since the 1910 Rotherham by-election. In 1916, he was appointed Postmaster General, an office of profit under the Crown and therefore required to seek re-election.
Electoral history
This was a safe Liberal seat and at the last General Election, Pease was re-elected comfortably;
Result
Due to the war-time electoral truce between the main parties, Pease did not face a Unionist or Labour Party opponent. He was returned unopposed.
Aftermath
Pease was made Baron Gainford in 1917 which resulted in the 1917 Rotherham by-election.

At the time of the by-election, independent candidate Buchan was serving in the British Armed Forces. The law stated that, on standing in a Parliamentary election, he would be released from the Forces; this was, therefore, a way to receive an early honourable discharge, for the cost of a lost deposit. The practice was banned the following year.

As a consequence of the Conservatives falling into third place behind the Liberals Harold Macmillan reshuffled his cabinet removing seven ministers, including Chancellor of the Exchequer, Selwyn Lloyd who was held responsible for the unpopularity of the pay pause policy. This mass removal of ministers, referred to as ‘the night of the long knives', smacked of desperation and caused many people to question Macmillan's political judgment.

Presque Isle Lodge
|
The Presque Isle Lodge is a rustic hotel located at 8211 East Grand Lake Road in Presque Isle, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
History
In the 1910s, construction began on what is now US-23, opening northern Michigan in general, and this area around Grand Lake specifically, to more tourism. One of the families to take advantage of this was that of Newell A. Eddy, Sr., and his wife, Marianna McRuer Field Eddy. Eddy was a lumberman from the Bay City area, and the couple purchased the land around where the Lodge sits for their personal recreational use. The land was purchased in several transactions over the period 1908–13. Their son Newell A. Eddy Jr. (born in 1880) also used the property.
In about 1920 Eddy Jr. had this lodge constructed on the family's property. Eddy also built the knotty pine furniture within the Lodge, with the help of area craftsmen. After the opening of the Lodge, Eddy established the "Habitant Shops of Presque Isle Lodge," which constructed similar furniture for guests. The shop first operated from the Presque Isle Lodge property, but by 1922 had moved to Bay City.
Newell A. Eddy Jr. died in 1940. His family sold the Lodge in 1944. Milton A. Underwood and his wife, Bessie C. Underwood, purchased it in 1947. They operated the Lodge until Bessie Underwood's death in 1977. Robert G. and Laurie E. Spencer, acquired a partial interest in the Lodge in 1986, and reopened it as a bed and breakfast in 1989. They purchased the remaining interest in 1997. The Lodge continues to operate as a bed and breakfast.
Description
The Presque Isle Lodge is a two-story gable-roof rustic wood-frame structure measuring 150 feet bo 36 feet. The exterior is faced with half-log sidong on the first floor and board-and-batten siding on the second. The main entrance is sheltered under a low gable-roof porch supported by two log front posts. A screened porch is on one end of the building, surrounding a massive fieldstone chimney.
The entryway opens into a lobby with wood flooring and a massive fireplace. Log posts support the second floor, and doors near the fireplace also access the exterior porch. The main floor also houses an office, a small gathering space, bathrooms, and large dining room. The staircase to the second floor is in the center of the lobby. On the second floor, the lodge's visitor rooms are arranged along both sides of a central hall that runs from end to end of the building.
The lodge contains a large collection of the Habitant Shops rustic furniture.

Presque Isle County Courthouse
|
The Presque Isle County Courthouse, also known as the Onaway Courthouse, is a government building located on the corner of State and Maple Streets in Onaway, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1978 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
History
Merritt Chandler was born in 1843 near Adrian, Michigan. He made a fortune in lumbering and then in building roads; in 1886 he platted the village of Onaway. By 1903, Onaway had a population of 3000, making it the largest settlement in Presque Isle County. In 1908, Chandler constructed this building and donated it to the county in an effort to wrest the county seat away from Rogers City. He was unable to have the county seat moved, so in 1911 a drive started to carve out a new county for Onaway, to be called "Forest County." The drive failed, but as a compromise, county court sessions were alternated between Rogers City and Onaway until the 1940s.
The building served various functions over the years, but began to fall into disrepair. In the late 1990s, restoration efforts began, and over $1 million was spent to improve the heating and electrical system, replace the roof and windows, refinish the interior, and install a clock in the clocktower.
As of 2009, the building houses the Onaway Branch of the Presque Isle District Library, the Onaway Historical Museum, the Chamber of Commerce, and offices of the City of Onaway.
Description
The Presque Isle County Courthouse is a two-story asymmetric structure built of poured concrete block building on a fieldstone foundation. Its Eclectic design incorporates Italian Villa, Romanesque, and Renaissance Revival styles. It has a low-pitched hip roof with overhanging eaves supported by bracketry, and a square off-center tower.

Instant breakfast
|
Instant breakfast typically refers to breakfast food products that are manufactured in a powdered form, which are generally prepared with the addition of milk and then consumed as a drink. Some instant breakfasts are produced and marketed in liquid form. The target market for instant breakfast products includes consumers who tend to be busy, such as students and working adults.
Etymology
Powdered instant breakfast has been described as a breakfast substitute, used as a quick meal replacement in place of traditional quickly prepared breakfast foods such as bacon and eggs, oatmeal and pancakes.
Brands
Carnation-brand Instant Breakfast (renamed Carnation Breakfast Essentials in 2022) was introduced in 1964. It is a powdered instant drink that is manufactured with protein, vitamins and minerals and sugar. It is typically prepared with milk, and is available in different flavors, such as chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Powdered forms are marketed in individual-serving packets and in cans. Carnation also manufactures prepared bottled instant breakfast drinks in liquid form.

Ajah Berdosa
|
Ajah Berdosa (Perfected Spelling: Ayah Berdosa; Malay for The Sinful Father) is a likely-lost 1941 film from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) directed by Wu Tsun for Star Film. Starring M. Arief, S Waldy, Elly Joenara, and Soetijem, it follows a villager named Mardiman over a period of several years, in which he loses everything owing to his infatuation with a "modern" woman.
Plot
Through diligence and hard work, a young villager named Mardiman, has developed a successful career as a scribe. His wife, Warsiah, and her family have been unable to help him advance his career, as none of them have any influence. Not long after Warsiah gives birth to a son, Mardiman is promoted and asked to work in the city. There he becomes infatuated with a sophisticated city woman, one who is more "modern" than Warsiah.
Mardiman leaves his wife and sick son so that he can be with this new woman, but soon spends all of his money trying to please her and treat her to a high-class lifestyle. Unable to support himself, yet unwilling to abandon his infatuation and return to the village, Mardiman begins to embezzle money from his office. After he is caught, he is imprisoned and loses everything he has in the city.
After being released from prison, Mardiman is unable to find honest employment. He finally begins working for an underground arak syndicate. When the police raid the facility, Mardiman is severely injured. He is sent to a hospital, where he is treated by Warsiah – who has become a nurse – and their son, now a doctor. Mardiman soon repents his sins.
Production
Ajah Berdosa was directed by Wu Tsun for Jo Eng Sek's Star Film, with cinematography by Chok Chin Hsien. The story was written by Saeroen, a native journalist who had joined the company in 1941 for Wu's directorial debut, Lintah Darat. The black-and-white film, set and filmed around Batavia (now Jakarta), starred M. Arief, S Waldy, Elly Joenara, and Soetijem.
Reception
Ajah Berdosa was released in 1941, and by early January 1942 was already being screened in Surabaya. Targeted at all ages, it was advertised as "an extremely simple and touching story". An anonymous reviewer for the Soerabaijasch Handelsblad recommended the film due to the quality of its acting and technical aspects, citing it as having the "momentum and dynamics" necessary for success.
The film is likely lost. The American visual anthropologist Karl G. Heider writes that all Indonesian films from before 1950 are lost. However, JB Kristanto's Katalog Film Indonesia (Indonesian Film Catalogue) records several as having survived at Sinematek Indonesia's archives, and Biran writes that several Japanese propaganda films have survived at the Netherlands Government Information Service.

The Harrow West by-election was held on 17 March 1960 due to the suicide of the incumbent Conservative MP, Sir Albert Braithwaite. It was won by the Conservative candidate John Page.
The Liberal Party was said to be "much encouraged" by their share of the vote according to the acting chair of the Liberal standing committee Mark Bonham Carter who also noted his party had not contested the constituency for ten years. Liberal leader Jo Grimond said that "the result strengens our claim that what the nation wants is a Liberal alternative.
The by-election took place on the same day as the Brighouse and Spenborough by-election which saw the Conservatives gain that seat from the opposition Labour Party. Morgan Phillips, Labour's General Secretary, blamed the poor results on negative press coverage arguing that "a tremendous effort" had been undertaken to develop "an unfavourable image of the party" adding that in his view "Newspaper space seems to have been allocated on political, rather than on news value."

1959 Harrow East by-election
|
A by-election for the United Kingdom House of Commons was held in the constituency of Harrow East on 19 March 1959, following the resignation of sitting Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Ian Harvey.
Background
In November 1958, Harvey and a Guardsman from the Coldstream Guards were found in the bushes in St James's Park and arrested; Harvey tried to escape, and attempted to give a false name on arrest. Both were charged with gross indecency and breach of the park regulations; when tried on 10 December, the indecency charge was dropped and both were fined £5. Harvey subsequently resigned his ministerial post and his seat, forcing the by-election; he paid the guardsman's fine as well as his own.
Candidates
The by-election saw the seat held by the Conservative candidate, Anthony Courtney, with a small swing to Labour, whose candidate, the future Home Secretary Merlyn Rees, had contested the seat in 1955, and would do so again in the General Election later in 1959. A minor candidate also stood, representing the National Union of Small Shopkeepers, but he lost his deposit.

1960 VFA season
|
The 1960 Victorian Football Association season was the 79th season of the Australian rules football competition. The premiership was won by the Oakleigh Football Club, after it defeated Sandringham in the Grand Final on 1 October by 60 points. It was Oakleigh's fifth premiership.
The season was the first in which Association premiership matches were played on Sunday afternoons, a change which dramatically increased the Association's popularity over the following decades.
Association membership
The Prahran Football Club was re-admitted to the Association in 1960, bringing the number of teams to seventeen. Prahran had been expelled in 1959 when the Prahran Council leased Toorak Park to the Victorian Rugby Union on alternate Saturdays, leaving the football club unable to meet the Association's minimum home ground requirements, but the club was re-admitted once it had secured a winter-long lease for the ground.
It was speculated that the Association would admit an eighteenth team to avoid the need for a bye in the fixture, and because it had previously announced its strategic intention to expand to twenty teams. Several groups interested in applying for the Association were mentioned in the press during 1959, including the North Geelong Football Club, the Altona City Council and a group of locals from Broadmeadows; but, ultimately the Association did not find a club with suitable facilities, so the membership remained at seventeen clubs.
Sunday football
On 1 April 1960, the Association approved for the first time the playing of VFA premiership matches on Sunday afternoons. Amateur football and charity and practice matches had been played on Sundays in Melbourne before, but top level commercial senior football had not. Playing on Sunday had long been seen as a strong opportunity for the Association to improve its popularity, as it would not be competing for gate takings with the Victorian Football League, which was played entirely on Saturdays; however, Sunday trading was still decades away from being legal, and neither councils nor communities widely approved of playing professional and commercial sport on Sundays. The Association had formally considered and rejected playing on Sundays twice before, most recently in 1957 (when night football was introduced as an alternative timeslot in which the Association would not be competing with League matches).
Although the Association approved Sunday matches, it did not formally schedule any to be played. Instead, clubs were given free rein to move any Saturday game to Sunday, provided there was mutual agreement between the clubs involved, and it was approved by the grounds management committee and the local council; additionally, the Association committed to donating 25% of Sunday gates to charity. The number of games on any given Sunday in 1960 varied from none to as many as three.
The first Sunday game was played on 24 April between Brunswick and Coburg; the match, which also happened to the Brunswick's first match back at Brunswick Oval after its redevelopment in 1959, drew a crowd of 17,000, Brunswick's highest home crowd since the 1930s; Coburg 12.17 (89) defeated Brunswick 9.17 (71). Other Sunday matches drew huge crowds: on 15 May, Northcote drew a larger crowd to a rain-affected Sunday match than it had drawn to any dry weather Saturday match for more than five years; and on 17 July, a Sunday game between ladder-leaders Oakleigh and winless Prahran, which would normally have roused little interest due to its one-sided nature, drew a gate of £310, compared with the combined gate of £391 for all seven of that weekend's Saturday games.
Despite the successful crowds, the matches were not universally accepted in 1960. Nine of the seventeen councils had approved Sunday matches within six weeks of the VFA announcing them, but some councils were slower to move – the Box Hill council, for example, did not approve Sunday matches until 1969. The Sandringham Football Club committee voted not to play any matches on Sundays during 1960. Yarraville played before large Sunday crowds early in the season, but refused requests and opted for smaller Saturday crowds later in the year because one of its star players, Geoff Williams, was unavailable to play on Sundays and it didn't want to jeopardise its premiership chances by playing without him. Another consequence of the Association playing on Sundays was a significant reduction in attendances at amateur games, which had previously been the highest level of football played on Sunday.
Sunday football went on to provide the most significant and lasting popularity boost to the Association since the throw-pass era in the 1930s and 1940s. By the early 1970s, almost all Association matches were played on Sunday, and the State Government refused to allow the League to play its matches on Sunday, meaning that the two competitions were no longer competing for the same gate. This fixturing segregation between the competitions continued until 1979, when the VFL began playing occasional televised matches in Sydney on Sundays; this was followed by the South Melbourne Football Club moving permanently Sydney in 1982 and playing all home games on Sunday, followed by progressively introducing Sunday VFL matches in Victoria through the mid-1980s.
Premiership
With seventeen teams, the format of the season changed from previous years. The home-and-home season lasted for twenty weeks, arranged as nineteen rounds with one of those rounds split across two weekends. Each team played eighteen home-and-home matches with one bye – except for Prahran and Brighton, who each had two byes, but played an extra match (against each other) during the split round.
The top six teams then qualified for the finals series; in all previous years since the introduction of finals in 1903, four teams had played finals. Under the new final six system, used only in this season:
In the first week, two quarter-finals were held: 3rd vs 6th, and 4th vs 5th
In the second week, the winners of the quarter-finals played the first semi-final
In the third week, the second semi-final was played between 1st vs 2nd
In the fourth week, the preliminary final was played between the winner of the first semi-final and the loser of the second semi-final
In the fifth week, the Grand Final was played between the winner of the second semi-final and the winner of the preliminary final

Finals
Awards
The leading goalkicker for the season was Denis Oakley (Sandringham), who kicked 89 goals in the home-and-home season.
The J. J. Liston Trophy was won by Don Brown (Box Hill), who polled 45 votes. Brown finished ahead of Kevin Dillon (Brunswick), who polled 32 votes to finish second for the second straight year, and Max Jose (Mordialloc), who polled 30 votes.
Sandringham won the seconds premiership. Sandringham 15.8 (98) defeated Oakleigh 11.14 (80) in the Grand Final, played as a curtain-raiser to the firsts Grand Final between the same two clubs on 1 October.
Notable events
1960 Minor States Carnival
As a result of finishing last in the 1958 Melbourne Carnival, the Association was relegated to Division 2 of the ANFC championships. The 1960 Minor States Carnival was held in Sydney during 1960, with the winner then playing off a month later against the Australian Amateurs, winners of the Division 2 competition in 1958, in Canberra for promotion to Division 1. Matches were played with the national standard eighteen players per team, rather than the sixteen players used under Association rules. Brunswick's Jim Whiley captained the VFA team.
The Association team dominated the Sydney Carnival, winning all three games by more than 100 points; it then defeated the Amateurs by 26 points in the playoff match.
Other notable events
The Oakleigh Council upgraded the Oakleigh Cricket Ground during the 1960 season, so the Oakleigh Football Club could not play there. During its premiership-winning season, Oakleigh played its home matches at Camberwell, playing home games there on alternate Saturdays to the Camberwell Football Club. The club trained at Toorak Park on different nights to the Prahran Football Club during the home-and-home season, and then on the Ross Gregory Oval in Albert Park during the finals when Toorak Park was being prepared for the cricket season.
Sunshine's inaugural VFA captain-coach Ken Seymour was suspended until 1962 for three separate striking charges, a charge of treading on an opponent, and a charge of misconduct against an umpire, all in a match against Yarraville on 13 August. He retired from playing immediately.
Minor premiers Sandringham set a record as the first club to score more than 2000 points and concede fewer than 1000 points in a home-and-home season.
The VFA sought to play the quarter-final between Coburg and Williamstown on Sunday 4 September at the Coburg Oval, with the Sunday timeslot expected to result in a substantial increase in the gate, but Williamstown refused to play the final at Coburg's home ground. Consequently, both quarter-finals were played at St Kilda on Saturday 3 September as a double-header. The scheduling meant that the seconds quarter-finals could not be played as curtain raisers to the firsts quarter-finals, so they were played on the same day at Selwyn Park, Sunshine, also as a double-header.
In the final round of home-and-home matches in the seconds competition, Coburg played Port Melbourne in a game which directly determined which of the two clubs made the final six and which missed out. Coburg initially won the game by one point, but the win was two days later awarded to Port Melbourne after it successfully protested that Coburg had a fielded a player who was not listed on its team sheet.

1958 East Aberdeenshire by-election
|
The 1958 East Aberdeenshire by-election was held on 20 November 1958 when the incumbent Conservative MP, Sir Robert Boothby was elevated to a life peerage. The by-election was retained by the Conservative candidate Patrick Wolrige-Gordon. Wolrige-Gordon was still an undergraduate at Oxford and at the time of his election the youngest MP, having been only 23 at the time.
In 1955 Boothby had won the seat with a majority of just over 10,000 votes, and prior to his elevation, had served in his seat for 34 years. While that contest had been a straight fight between the Conservatives and Labour, the by-election saw the Liberal Party also field a candidate. Analysis showed that the by-election had a higher voter turnout than the general election, with a 65.34% turnout rate vs. a 59.7% in the general election.
Controversies
One week prior to the election, controversy stirred up around Wolrige-Gordon's candidacy following a rally held by his grandmother, Dame Flora MacLeod, following comments she made about Viscount Bernard Montgomery during a rally of housewives from Fraserburgh, in which she criticized Montgomery for taking an old-age pension from the government in spite of the fact that he was already incredibly wealthy, calling for more pension allocation for poorer residents.

1958 St Helens by-election
|
The 1958 St Helens by-election to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom was held on 12 June 1958. It was held due to the vacation of the seat by the incumbent Labour Member of Parliament, Sir Hartley Shawcross. It was retained by the Labour candidate Leslie Spriggs.
Background
St Helens had been represented in Parliament by Sir Hartley Shawcross since the 1945 United Kingdom general election. However he had become increasingly disillusioned with the Labour Party to the point where he was called by the journalist Bernard Levin "Sir Shortly Floorcross". Hartley stated he wished to vacate his seat citing disillusionment with party politics. Shawcross asked to be appointed as the Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead, an office of profit under the Crown which disqualifies people from being MPs as resignation is not allowed. Shawcross was later elevated to the House of Lords as a Crossbench life peer.
Election
Carlisle was contesting his first election for the Conservative Party. Spriggs was contesting his second election after unsuccessfully standing for North Fylde three years earlier. He was selected as the Labour Party candidate following Tom Driberg bringing media attention to the selections by alleging religious discrimination in the shortlist of candidates and Spriggs was seen as the "safe" option. As St Helens is considered a safe Labour seat, Spriggs won the election and would represent St Helens until 1983. Carlisle would later get elected as the MP for Runcorn.
