Javy Guerra

Luis Javier Guerra (born October 31, 1985) is a Mexican American professional baseball pitcher in the Washington Nationals organization of Major League Baseball (MLB). Guerra was drafted in the 4th round of the 2004 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He made his MLB debut in 2011. He has played in MLB for the Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays and Washington Nationals.

Professional career

Los Angeles Dodgers
Guerra was drafted in the 4th round of the 2004 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers out of Billy Ryan High School in Denton, Texas. He is of Mexican descent.

In the Dodgers system he pitched for the Columbus Catfish in 2005, Ogden Raptors in 2006, Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino from 2007–2008 and split 2009 between the Great Lakes Loons and the Chattanooga Lookouts. He was selected to the Midwest League Mid-season All-Star team in 2009 and participated in the Arizona Fall League Rising Stars game. In 2010 with Chattanooga he had a 2.33 ERA in 28 games, despite missing a portion of the season due to injury. Following the season, he played for the Phoenix Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League. He returned to Chattanooga to start 2011.

Guerra was called up to the Dodgers on May 15, 2011 and made his debut in the ninth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks, working a scoreless inning. On May 24 he was credited with his first career save by pitching a scoreless ninth inning against the Houston Astros. On June 4 he earned his first win by pitching the tenth inning and part of the eleventh, allowing one run in an 11-8 victory against the Cincinnati Reds; he also batted for himself and drew a base on balls. With Jonathan Broxton out for the year with injuries, Guerra became the Dodgers closer for most of the season. He finished with a 2-2 record, 2.31 ERA and 21 saves.

Guerra began 2012 as the Dodgers closer and picked up saves in his first five chances and seven of his first eight, but then he went through a period where he blew two of his next three opportunities and also pitched poorly in some non-save appearances. As a result, he was dropped from the closer role in favor of Kenley Jansen. He was later demoted to the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes in August. Guerra rejoined the Dodgers when rosters expanded in September, but suffered a strained oblique and was placed on the disabled list for the remainder of the season. Overall, he appeared in 45 games for the Dodgers in 2012, with a 2-3 record, 2.60 ERA and 8 saves.

On November 2, Guerra underwent arthroscopic right shoulder surgery, his third different surgery in 2012. He returned in time for spring training, but his injury kept him from participating in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. He also suffered a groin strain during spring training and the setback led to him falling behind the other relievers and he was optioned to Albuquerque to start the season. He spent the bulk of the season there, appearing in 27 games (including 4 as a starter) and was 0-4 with a 3.66 ERA and 12 saves. He also appeared in 9 games with the Dodgers in May and had an ERA of 6.75.

Guerra was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on March 16, 2014 and removed from the 40-man roster.

Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox claimed him off waivers on March 26, 2014. On March 28, the White Sox outrighted him to AAA. He was called up to the majors in May. Guerra was designated for assignment by the White Sox on May 6, 2015. On July 8, 2015, Guerra was suspended 50 games for drug abuse.

Los Angeles Angels
On February 10, 2016, Guerra signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels. He was designated for assignment on May 13. He was called back up by the Angels on June 1 and designated for assignment on June 7.

Miami Marlins
On December 17, 2016, Guerra signed a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins. He was outrighted to AAA on October 7, 2017.

He resigned a minor league deal on January 13, 2018. Guerra had his contract selected on July 9, 2018. In 2018 with Miami he was 1-1 with one save and a 5.55 ERA in 32 relief appearances. He declared free agency on October 12, 2018.

Toronto Blue Jays
On January 10, 2019, Guerra signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. On March 28, Guerra was added to the 25-man roster for Opening Day. He was designated for assignment on April 18 to make room for Ryan Tepera who was activated from the 10 day injured list. His contract was selected on May 10, and he was called up to the major league roster. He was designated for assignment again on May 18. With the Blue Jays in 2019 he was 0-0 with one save and a 3.86 ERA in 11 relief appearances.

Washington Nationals
Guerra was claimed off outright waivers by the Washington Nationals on May 20, 2019. He was designated for assignment on July 31, 2019. He had his contract selected for a second time on August 4, 2019. In 2019 with the Nationals he was 3-1 with one save and a 4.86 ERA in 40 relief appearances. Guerra pitched the ninth inning of Game 2 of the World Series, allowing a solo home run to Martín Maldonado in a 12-3 Nationals win over the Houston Astros. He was non-tendered by the Nationals on December 2, 2019, making him a free agent. To remain in the Nationals organization, Guerra subsequently signed a minor league deal with an invitation to major league spring training.

Pitching style
Guerra mostly throws a hard four-seam fastball (93–96 mph) and cutter (88–91), although he occasionally mixes in a curveball (78–80). He has even sprinkled in a small handful of sliders, changeups, and splitters — all in the mid-80s range.

Personal life
Guerra was born in Texas. His mother and father were both born in Mexico, and his father makes his home in Múzquiz, Coahuila. Guerra lives in Phoenix during the offseason.

Russians in France

Russians are a small diaspora in France but one of the most important groups in the Russian diaspora.

History

The French Riviera was a favorite spot, where the European aristocracy had launched the fashion of the rainy season. Some also came there to treat tuberculosis which was then rampant. The Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of the late Nicolas I liked to stay there to rest since her widowhood. She raised money in 1856 to build a church for the parish. The  was consecrated on December 31, 1859 in the city of Nice who at that time had more than 45 000 inhabitants and was part with its County of the Kingdom of Sardinia, belonging to the House of Savoy, before being annexed to the French Empire by plebiscite a few months later in April 1860. In December 1912, half a century later, the Russian Orthodox Cathedral would be consecrated in memory of Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tsarevich of Russia, who died in Nice. The building itself and the parcel of land on which it stands has been the property of the Russian state to this day.

Russian Civil War
On an approximate figure of 1.5 million exiles during the Russian Civil War, about 400,000 have taken up residence in France. Political refugees, White émigré gather around charities like the Zemgor Committee and the company of the Russian Red Cross, the St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute (founded in 1924) and the Action chrétienne des étudiants russes (ACER ) (1926), which provided to their community an associative link, political and religious, as well as material aid.
As a symbol of this massive immigration, 10,000 Russians are buried at Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Russian Cemetery

Exodus of White Russians in Corsica

The ship "Rion", carrying some 3422 refugees (Russians, Ukrainians and Cossacks) from Constantinople to Brazil has stopped in Ajaccio, on May 15, 1921 at 2 am. Ajaccio, an island city of 20,000 inhabitants, sees in one day its population increase by 20%. On May 25, 10 days after the arrival of the ship, some 600 refugees were finally allowed to land and settle at the Livrelli barracks, located in the center of Ajaccio.

Ross Milne

Leslie Ross Milne (3 October 1944 – 25 January 1964) was an alpine ski racer from Australia.

Entered in the men's downhill at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Milne died of a head injury after he lost control during a training run at Patscherkofel and struck a tree at more than 60 miles per hour.

An inquiry held by the organising committee said that he "caught an edge". Hugh Weir reported to the Australian Olympic Federation that

Because Ross Milne was only seventeen years of age, the question was raised at the [Innsbruck] IOC meeting as to whether inexperienced people were being sent to compete in ... snow sports which contain an element of danger.

Dr Blaxland said that he was wrong about his age (Milne was nineteen), and that the IOC was wrong to suggest he was inexperienced:

In our view Ross Milne was an extremely competent skier. He had competed in Australian championships at least four years before, and we considered him to be an experienced skier. He had been in Europe before ... His fall was not due to lack of skill on his part

Manager John Wagner said that Milne had found the path  ahead of him obscured by contestants congregating because the top part of the downhill course was overcrowded, and tried to slow down "on a spot which was not prepared for stopping or swinging". He argued that the accident might have been prevented by stricter management of the downhill course, which had a hundred racers on it. He also said that "any of the top skiers would probably have been in difficulty in a similar situation".

Following Milne's death and a serious injury to Edmund Schaedler of Liechtenstein, some minor safety improvements were made to the downhill course prior to the race on 30 January.

Milne had learned to ski at Falls Creek ski area in the Australian Alps and had spent the previous winter of 1963 racing in Europe. He was buried in his home town of Myrtleford in Victoria, where his family farmed tobacco.

Milne's younger brother Malcolm (b. 1948) competed on the World Cup circuit and in the 1968 and 1972 Winter Olympics. The suggestion that racers from Australia and New Zealand should not compete on downhill courses gave him motivation to prove otherwise. He became the first non-European to win a men's World Cup downhill race in December 1969, held at Val-d'Isère, France. It was also the first World Cup podium by an alpine racer from the southern hemisphere.

Bundang High School

Bundang Senior High School (Korean: 분당고등학교, Hanja: 盆唐高等學校), commonly referred to as Bundang High School, is a co-educational, comprehensive, community high school located in Bundang, South Korea as part of the Seongnam public schools.

As of the 2015 school year, the school has an enrollment of 1,297 students and 80 classroom teachers (for a student-teacher ratio of 16.2).  Prior to 2005, the school was ranked second in selectivity among its fifteen peer schools (district metrics were abolished that year and school admission reorganized into a lottery in accordance with the elimination of the high school entrance exams).

Location

Bundang High School is situated near the Tancheon tributary, in Sunae (neighborhood), Bundang (district), Seongnam (city), Gyeonggi (province), 330 meters southeast of Sunae Station on the Bundang Line (yellow line), and 500 meters west-southwest of Bundang Central Park.  The school is 20 kilometers southeast of downtown Seoul.

Facilities

Academic

The academic effort consists of forty classrooms; a library; two computer labs; a computing center; a foreign language lab; a science seminar room; a general classroom; and three self-study library attachments.

Administrative
The administrative and staff-support effort consist of three personnel offices; six teacher offices; two radio broadcast rooms; a publishing center; a media-conference room; four conference rooms; a parent's conference room; a nurse’s ward; and a performance stage.

Athletic
The health and recreation effort consists of a 9,600 square-meter gymnasium; a golf-serving range; a hard-pack gravel pitch.  The gymnasium space is convertible to accommodate basketball, volleyball, badminton, Taekwondo, and gymnastics.

Schedule
The school year begins in the first week of March and continues to the last week of December, recessing for one-month in mid-July.  Classes are 8:20 to 17:10 Monday to Friday, 8:20 to 11:30 Saturday (odd-weekly).  Weekday mandatory self-study is 18:00-21:00 following the 17:10-18:00 dinner break.

Curricula
Bundang offers a challenging curriculum coupled with extensive opportunities in after-school programs, the arts, athletics, and twenty-one student-interest groups.  The final two years of education students concentrate their coursework within the social sciences (인문사회) or sciences (자연과학) option.  Approximately 60 percent of students follow the social sciences option, 40 percent the sciences.

Self-study is supported by the school until midnight every day.

The school's yearly magazine, the Bundang Post, is student run and entirely written in the English language.

School Seal

The seal was adopted before the first school assembly in January 1992.  The emblem's margin is formed by the superposition of the Korean "ㅂ" onto "ㄷ" (apocryphally shaped like a folder).  The left "ladder" is but in fact the Chinese character 高 (고, high); the character deliberately stops above the top margin, which education promoters added to signify the school's height above the other area schools.  The phonetic inscription ㅂㅜㄴㄷㅏㅇ fills the lower-right in block letters.  The emblem is sealed by the bi-lingual incorporated fide: 분당고등학교  / 한국  / 1992 (Bundang Godeung Hakgyo / Hanguk / 1992).  Green symbolizes youth, bravery, and a pioneering spirit; silver symbolizes diligence, justice, and harmony; white symbolizes purity, peace, and intelligence.

University Admission
Despite district realignment in 2005, Bundang matriculates students each year to all three SKY universities, to pre-medical and pre-dentistry programs (의치계열), and to the most selective teachers college (교대).  For 2005-2010 the school graduated a total of fifteen students to KAIST, Postech, the military academy (사관학교), and Japan's top engineering programs (일본공대).

Electoral district of Broadmeadows

The electoral district of Broadmeadows is an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It covers an area of  in outer northern Melbourne, and includes the suburbs of Broadmeadows, Campbellfield, Coolaroo, Dallas, Fawkner, Jacana and Meadow Heights. It also includes parts of Glenroy, Roxburgh Park, Somerton and Westmeadows. It lies within the Northern Metropolitan Region of the upper house, the Legislative Council.

The seat was created in 1955, and though it was initially won by Liberal and Country member Harry Kane, has been a safe Labor seat for most of its history. Kane held the seat until his death in 1962, and was succeeded by Labor backbenchers John Wilton (1962–1985) and Jack Culpin (1985–1988).

In 1988 Culpin, a former member for abolished Glenroy, lost Labor preselection for Broadmeadows for that year's election to Jim Kennan, member of the Legislative Council and then Minister for Transport, who was attempting to switch to the Legislative Assembly. Culpin resigned from the Labor Party and contested Broadmeadows as an independent, but was defeated by Kennan at the election. Kennan served as Deputy Premier under Joan Kirner from 1990 to 1992, and succeeded Kirner as Leader of the Opposition from March to June 1993.

Kennan resigned as Opposition Leader and from parliament in June 1993, and was succeeded in Broadmeadows at the resulting by-election by John Brumby, a member of the Legislative Council and former federal MP, who like Kennan sought to switch to the Legislative Assembly. Brumby later served as Opposition Leader from 1993 to 1999, and Premier of Victoria from 2007 to 2010. He resigned from parliament in 2011, and was succeeded as member for Broadmeadows at the resulting by-election by Frank McGuire, journalist, business consultant and brother of broadcaster Eddie McGuire.

H. G. Kippax

Harold ("Harry") Gemmell Kippax AO, better known as H. G. Kippax (6 October 192012 August 1999) was an Australian print journalist.  He was known as a foreign correspondent, war correspondent and theatre and music critic for The Sydney Morning Herald for over four decades (1945–89).  He was also a leader writer.  Between 1958 and 1983 he produced 3,456 editorials for the Herald. Kippax also wrote for the independent fortnightly journal Nation 1958–66, under the pseudonym Brek.

Career
Kippax was born in Sydney in 1920.  He failed to complete an Arts degree at the University of Sydney and became a cadet journalist with The Sydney Morning Herald before the start of World War II.  He served overseas in the 2nd AIF in the Signals Corps 1942–45.

On return to Australia, he rejoined the Herald as a war and foreign correspondent, serving in London, Germany, Greece, Spain and Portugal.  He was News Editor in Sydney from 1950 to 1954.  For the next three years he worked overseas again, reporting from London, France, Russia, and the Middle East, where he covered the 1956 Suez Crisis. He was in Sydney from 1958 for the rest of his career, where he became renowned as a theatre and literary critic while holding more senior editorial roles.

Kippax was an early champion of the plays of Patrick White, being one of the few critics who wrote favourably of The Ham Funeral.  Of its 1961 Adelaide premiere, he wrote that the play ... brilliantly suggests a way out of the impasse in which the Australian drama finds itself.  After the 1962 Sydney premiere, he wrote: I am not going to mince words or hedge against the future.  I believe the professional performance of The Ham Funeral at the Palace ... is an epoch-making event. But he and White fell out over more negative critiques of some later White plays.  David Marr writes "he had come to think all White's later plays were trash".  They also had diametrically opposing views of the plays of Louis Nowra – what Kippax loved in Nowra, White was sure to hate; and vice versa.

He was said to have "spotted the talent" of the actors John Bell, Robyn Nevin, Mel Gibson and Judy Davis; and the playwright David Williamson.

Harry Kippax was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours 1988, for services to the theatre and media. Kippax died in 1999, aged 78.

Selections from his critical writings were edited by Harry Payne Heseltine and published as:
 A Leader of His Craft: Theatre Reviews by H. G. Kippax (2004)
 The Voice of the Thunderer: Journalism of H. G. Kippax (2006).

He was a nephew of the Test cricketer Alan Kippax.

Psychological fiction

In literature, psychological fiction (also psychological realism) is a narrative genre that emphasizes interior characterization and motivation to explore the spiritual, emotional, and mental lives of the characters. The mode of narration examines the reasons for the behaviors of the character, which propel the plot and explain the story. Psychological realism is achieved with deep explorations and explanations of the mental states of the character's inner-person, usually through narrative modes such as stream of consciousness and flash back.

Early examples

The Tale of Genji, written in 11th-century Japan, was considered a psychological novel by Jorge Luis Borges. In the west, the origins of the psychological novel can be traced as far back as Giovanni Boccaccio's 1344 Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta; that is before the term psychology was coined.

The first rise of the psychological novel as a genre is said to have started with the sentimental novel of which Samuel Richardson's Pamela is a prime example.

In French literature, Stendhal's The Red and the Black and Madame de La Fayette's The Princess of Cleves are considered early precursors of the psychological novel. The modern psychological novel originated, according to The Encyclopedia of the Novel, primarily in the works of Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun – in particular, Hunger (1890), Mysteries (1892), Pan (1894) and Victoria (1898).

Notable examples

One of the greatest writers of the genre was Fyodor Dostoyevsky. His novels deal strongly with ideas, and characters who embody these ideas, how they play out in real world circumstances, and the value of them, most notably The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment.

In the literature of the United States, Henry James, Patrick McGrath, Arthur Miller, and Edith Wharton are considered "major contributor[s] to the practice of psychological realism."

Subgenres
 Psychological thriller - Psychological thriller is a subgenre of the thriller and psychological novel genres, emphasizing the inner mind and mentality of characters in a creative work. Because of its complexity, the genre often overlaps and/or incorporates elements of mystery, drama, action, slasher, and horror — often psychological horror. It bears similarities to the Gothic and detective fiction genres.
 Psychological horror - Psychological horror is a subgenre of the horror and psychological novel genres, which psychological, emotionally and mentally relies on the state of characters to generate horror. On occasions, it overlaps with the psychological thriller subgenre to enhance the story suspensefully.
 Psychological drama - Psychological drama is a subgenre of the drama and psychological novel genres, which focuses upon the emotional, mental and psychological development of characters in a dramatic work.

 Psychological science fiction -

Psychological sci-fi films are dramas or thrillers occurring in a science fiction setting. Often the focus is on the character's inner struggle dealing with the political, technological forces or with any fatales . Inception ,  Donnie Darko and A Clockwork Orange  are notable examples of this genre.

Ostružnica

Ostružnica () is a suburban settlement of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, in the municipality of Čukarica. It has a population of 4,218 people (2011).

Geography
Ostružnica is located on the right bank of the Sava river, at the mouth of the Ostružnička reka, 14 km southwest of Belgrade, south of the Ada Ciganlija island.

History
Area of Ostružnica was a location of the Long Bridge, the first permanent bridge in Belgrade's history. As the opposing, Syrmian side across the Sava was a vast marsh at the time (modern New Belgrade), the bridge didn't stop at the bank but continued for some length above the swamp. Because of that, the people also called it the Bridge above the marsh (Most preko močvare). The bridge was built by the Austrians to help them conquer Belgrade from the Ottomans during the 1688 Siege of Belgrade. According to the records, a seasoned Belgrade master craftsman Đorđević "in only one month, with the help of his 400 workers, built the Long Bridge, using 2,000 tree trunks, 1,100 wooden piles, 15,500 bundles of palings and 12,000 palisade pickets." Right next to it, bit closer to the island of Ada Ciganlija, the Austrians constructed another, classical pontoon bridge, which "leaned on the Long Bridge".

Doljani is a former settlement that was located in the upper part of the Doljanski potok stream, between villages of Velika Moštanica, Meljak and Sremčica, just south of today's Ostružnica. It is widely held that Doljani was depopulated during the First Serbian Uprising, by Karađorđe due to the plague. Aćim Doljanac, Karađorđe's close cooperator and progenitor of the Doljančević family, moved to Ostružnica at that time.

During the First Serbian Uprising, Karađorđe, the leader of the rebellion, summoned the very first national assembly of Serbia in Ostružnica 24–28 April 1804.

Economy and infrastructure
Ostružnica has its own train station on the Belgrade's internal freight railway Batajnica–Surčin–Ostružnica–Železnik–Resnik, as the Sava is crossed by the railway bridge at Ostružnica. It is connected to the Belgrade's major freight train station and the Belgrade marshalling yard in Makiš.

A new Ostružnica road bridge, in the final stages of construction, was bombed during NATO air attacks on Yugoslavia in 1999 and wasn't finished until 2005. It represents one of the major sections of the Belgrade bypass.

Demographics

Ostružnica is classified as an urban settlement, with a fluctuating population count:

 1921: 1,497
 1961: 3,871
 1971: 4,011
 1981: 4,060
 1991: 3,628
 2002: 3,929
 2011: 4,218

Georgina Starr

Georgina Starr (born 1968) is an English artist and one of the Young British Artists. She is best known for her video, sound, performance and installation works. An amalgamation of dream, fiction, memory and re-enactment, Starr's work has been described in Artforum magazine as exploring "the imaginative self’s ability to make something magically complex, layered and densely referential out of virtually nothing but its own 'stuff'”

Life and work
Starr was born in Leeds and lives and works in London. She studied at Jacob Kramer school of Art,
Middlesex Polytechnic, attended the Slade School of Art from 1990 until 1992 and the Rijksakademie Van Beeldende Kunst in Amsterdam from 1993 to 1994. She has exhibited widely in group and solo exhibitions, including the Tate Gallery in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Venice Biennale, and in galleries in cities throughout the world including Basel, Tokyo, Ghent, Brisbane, and Barcelona.

She has been identified as a member of the second wave of Young British Artists.

Whether playing a lonely teenager re-enacting a high school play, a nightclub singer with schizophrenia, a visitor from another planet, a silent movie star, a ventriloquist or psychic medium, her face and voice are always the focus, constantly changing and morphing as she performs. As David Frankel noted in Artforum, ”she seems both a familiar presence and at the same time unknowable, one multifaceted figure- she is all of them-but at the same time non-of them at all… Starr proposes a model of art-making and combines the baroque with the spontaneous….the frame is fiction".

Starr's first video Static Steps in 1992 featured small paper figures reacting physically to "random static electricity" and added a voice-over narrating the 'steps' as if the movements were rehearsed dance steps. The idea was to re-describe invisible and "often random aspects of modern life" so they seem important.

In 1993, Starr's video Crying was described as "euphoric" and made a viewer want to "climb through the screen and give her a cuddle."
A review from 1996 said of Crying, “ If expressionist art demands the simultaneous release and recording of deep feeling, then this might be expressionism's quintessence - but as the tape plays again, and again, emotion becomes performance. What may have been a problem for Jackson Pollock here appears as strategy: repeated, the gesture that carries emotion loses meaning. Yet enough of a trace of it remains that one would be ashamed to write it off as rote or fake; better to say that it becomes elusive and unreliable. And Starr, who seems to show us herself so openly, eludes us too."

In 1995, Starr's Visit to a Small Planet featured videos, photographs, objects and drawings based loosely on a memory of a Jerry Lewis film called Visit to a Small Planet which evoked many emotional states.
In the five screen videos Starr was given special powers of mind-reading, invisibility and animal telepathy.
The large installation was exhibited as a solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Zurich in 1995 alongside the publication of her first book, "Visit to a Small Planet", a script which spanned the years 1978 (when she saw the original film aged 10) to the present day. The work then toured in the British Art Show4.

 In 1996, Starr made Hypnodreamdruff which began as a film script, but turned into a "multi-screen, multi-media installation incorporating a nightclub, bedroom, kitchen and caravan," according to a description on her website. It was exhibited in Amsterdam at Stedelijk Museum in 1995, Tate London in 1996, in New York City at Barbara Gladstone in 1996, and Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany in 1997. Hypnodreamdruff was a complex narrative of the "interior life" of one of three fictional people sharing an apartment and was described as a "rowdy yet poignant portrait of the alienation and fantasy of everyday life."

David Frankel described the work in Artforum as "involving a series of interlocking situations or narratives carried by videos and installations, their sites ranging from a 1970’s caravan seen in Magic to a teenage girl's bedroom (in Frenchy) to a nightclub (The Hungry Brain) to the kitchen of three London flatmates (Dream Interference Device). An amalgam of dream, memory, reenactment, and something like TV sitcom…”

Critic Dan Glaister of The Guardian reported that Catherine Lampert of the Whitechapel Gallery was surprised that no women were nominated for the 1996 Turner prize; Lampert said "Tracey Emin and Georgina Starr have both produced notable work this year (1996)."

In 1998, critic Tim Hilton of The Independent described Starr's Tuberama as an "expensively constructed" model tube train which went around the gallery while an animated film by Starr played simultaneously with "loud music."
Critic and pop singer Momus described Tuberama as "the musical of the short story of the cartoon strip of the painting, is about sitting on the tube and feeling paranoid about the people opposite you: who would be their leader if the train broke down for a week?"

In his essay, Tuberama, A Musical on the Northern Line Filip Luyckx describes Tuberama : "While we identify ourselves with Georgina, she translates, as if she were a thought-reading machine, what goes on in the minds of the passengers…..The eroticising aspect of the imagination in contemporary mass culture finds a grateful subject here. A work like Tuberama starts as a comic strip and gradually overruns into our reality."

In a review in Art Monthly in 2000 a critic described Starr's new exhibition in London The Bunny Lakes are Coming: "Art is meant to be more sensitive than popular culture but doesn't always manage it. The Bunny Lakes are Coming is a melange of pop cultural melancholy and terror that is as sensitive as a fresh bruise. Starr's longstanding interest in the exploration of internality through the products of popular culture has been chided in the past. If returning home is a way of testing whether you have moved one, Starr has not endeavoured to please. Her new work is as dark as her early work was light. Maybe her early work was too soft, now it's too soft to touch."

In 2007, film critic Jonathan Romney described Starr's new silent film Theda : "In a 40-minute black-and-white film Theda British artist Georgina Starr, best known for her series of works inspired by the 1965 thriller Bunny Lake is Missing, pays tribute to this stormiest of divas and undertakes an archeology of gestural art of the silent-era actress (Theda Bara), drawing on the styles of several other now forgotten grande-dames, such as Barbara La Marr and Maud Allan.....the film is divided into three parts "prelude", "act" and "epilogue"....but "prelude " is the real coup: in a long single take, Starr runs through the codified expressive repertoire of the Theda-era performer with such precision that any ironic distance evaporate. The poster for "Theda" show a séance and indeed Starr makes herself the medium. Through her playful, tender homage the silent goddesses speak again."

Art critic John Zinsser described his reaction to Starr's show Theda in New York City: "It was a show that revealed itself to me very slowly" which was "full of surprises" and that the personality of the show was "very strong" and "beguiling in its nuttiness." Zinsser described Starr as a "video artist" whose work featured a book about a "movie that you didn't see" which was "written in a faux academic style". Critic Gregory Volk compared Starr to writers like Emerson in making a "meter making argument" and that her show was "so out there" and "crazily eccentric" and "crazily adventurous" and, as a result, "utterly convincing."
Theda toured as a film with live soundtrack to New York City, Toronto, Tokyo, Liverpool, Basel, Berlin, Genoa and Stockholm.
In 2011 a new score was composed by the German soprano Sigune von Osten for a live performance at The Pier Theatre in Bournemouth.

Starr was a judge for the Northern Art Prize in 2008. The Guardian reported in November 2008 that Starr was dating artist Paul Noble who paints "debauched imaginary townscapes." Starr and Noble traveled to Palestine and both worked at the International Academy of Art Palestine. Artist Andrew Palmer credits Starr for influencing his thinking about art. In November 2008, Starr put artwork from her project Bunny Lake and reproduced them on a Vespa scooter in a project to raise funds for charity.

Starr's 2010 project I am a Record, according to a website description, dissected and revealed "the artist's personal, geographic and imagined environment" and featured a wide variety of recordings made since age five including the rumbling of a broken radiator which she thought was "speaking to her," "re-enactments of secretly recorded stranger's conversation," field recordings, singing voices, paranormal telephony, family dinner conversations, "air eddies transformed into music," and other unusual sounds.
It is an audio collection featuring over 80 vinyl records with handmade cover artwork, posters, inserts and booklets.
The monograph I am a Record was published in 2010 by Le Confort Moderne.

Via Tiburtina

Via Tiburtina is an ancient road in Italy leading east-northeast from Rome to Tivoli (Latin, Tibur) and then on to Pescara (Latin, Aternum).

Historical road
It was built by the Roman consul Marcus Valerius Maximus around 286 BCE and later lengthened to the territories of the Marsi and the Aequi, in the Abruzzo, as Via Valeria. Its total length was approximately 200 km from Rome to Aternum (the modern Pescara). It exited Rome through the Aurelian Wall at the Porta Tiburtina, and through the Servian Wall at the Porta Esquilina.

Historians assert that the Via Tiburtina must have come into existence as a trail during the establishment of the Latin League. Though afterward it became an important thoroughfare, the first portion of the Via Tiburtina always retained its original name of Via Valeria, which applied only to the portion of the road beyond Tibur.

Papilio erithonioides

Papilio erithonioides is a species of swallowtail butterfly from the genus Papilio that is found in Madagascar. The habitat consists of forests.

Original description
Expanse male 3 and 7/8, female 4 and 5/8 – 5  inches.

Male. Upperside. Both wings marked as in Papilio demoleus Linn., but on the posterior wings the stramineous band which crosses the wings before the middle is broader, and the spots in the submarginal row are more lunulate; at the lower end of the dark rufous spot above the anal angle is a large subovate black spot; and the middle median nervule is produced into a rather longer tail than in P. demoleus.

Underside. More resembles P. erithonius , Cram., than P. demolius but the anterior wings are more irrorated with stramineous scales, and on the posterior wings the central band is less rufous and broader than in P. erithonius the curved black line which crosses the cell near its extremity in that species is represented in P. erithonioides by a triangular black spot with the apex pointing outwards, and the irregular row of black bars which divides the central band is wider; the veins on the disk are black instead of stramineous; the ocellus below the costal nervure is larger; and at the anal angle, instead of the ferruginous spot crowned with a black spot centred with blue scales, is a dark rufous spot, with the black spot at its lower end as on the upperside, above which is a round black spot with a blue iris centred with brown. The submarginal lunules are more deeply incised on the outer side.

Female. Upperside. Nearly resembling the male, but on the posterior wings a space on each side of the large ocellus below the costal nervure is bright ferruginous. On the disk, the space between the stramineous band and the row of submarginal lunules is brightly irrorated with stramineous scales, in which, between the veins, are spaces less densely irrorated with the same colour, giving the appearance of indistinct black spots, with clusters of blue scales more or less distinct below each, resembling somewhat the mottled appearance of the posterior wings of P. ophidicephalus, Oberth. The lunules in the submarginal row are very strongly developed, the apices of each lunule being elongated towards the margin; the tail formed by the prolongation of the middle median nervule is very marked, being nearly 3/8 inch long.

Underside. All the spots on both wings larger than on the upperside. Anterior wings with the first four spots of the submarginal row confluent with those of the marginal row, and the others nearly so. Posterior wings with the apices of the submarginal lunules much elongated, almost extending to the spots of the marginal row, which are fully developed. The marginal lunules on each side of the tails extend down them almost to the extremity. Across the disk the outer row of sinuate black lines is crowned with silvery blue; and in the middle row, the irregular black spots extend inwardly in a conical shape, and are margined on the outer side by another row of bright blue scales.inside the extremity of the cell is a broad curved black spot centred with blue; the veins are black, most broadly on the margins. Both wings irrorated with
stramineous scales between the spots and at the base.

Antennae rufous.

Hab. N.W. coast of Madagascar (Last).
In the Collections of Henley Grose Smith, the Hon. Walter Rothschild, and others. This species is intermediate between the Asiatic P. erithonus, Cram., and the African P. demoleus Linn. Both the latter species are among the commonest butterflies in their respective countries; and the true P. Demoleus is common in Madagascar, as well as on the continent
of Africa. P. erithonioides is a much larger insect than P. erithonius, and the development of the tails in the female is very remarkable. A considerable series was received.

Taxonomy
Papilio erithonioides is a member of the demodocus species-group. The clade members are
Papilio demodocus Esper, 1799
Papilio demoleus Linnaeus, 1758
Papilio erithonioides Grose-Smith, 1891
Papilio grosesmithi Rothschild, 1926
Papilio morondavana Grose-Smith, 1891

Privolzhsky Research Medical University

Privolzhsky Research Medical University (Research Medical University of Volga region, , old-name: Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy, NNSMA) is one of the medical schools in the Russian Federation which is located in the city of Nizhny Novgorod.

Organisation

 the rector was  Shakhov Boris Yevgenevich (Russian Шахов Борис Евгеньевич), D.Sc., Honored Worker of Science RF.

This medical school is currently ranked number 7 out of 46 higher medical institutions in Russia, acknowledged by World Health Organization and is recognised by the governments of some other countries which send their students to this academy for medical education and training.

This academy also is associated with many teaching hospitals distributed throughout the city, where the students learn many basic clinical skills. There are 70 specialised departments with over 600 teaching staff. It has approximately 3000 students in 7 faculties which include:

 Faculty of Medicine
 Faculty of Pediatrics
 Faculty of Pharmacy
 Faculty of Medico-prophylaxis (Preventive medicine)
 Faculty of Stomatology (Dentistry)
 Faculty of Higher Nursing Education
 Faculty of Preparatory courses (Pre-medical courses)

The administrative office of the academy is situated in the Minin and Pozharsky Square (located alongside the Volga River and the medical students live in dormitories on Meditsinskaya Street in Prioksky City District.

Faculty of Foreign Admissions

Besides Russian students, there are also students from foreign countries such as Morocco, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, Kenya, Tanzania, Jordan, Pakistan, Namibia and many others who study in this academy. Some of the foreign students study medicine completely in English medium, and some others study in Russian language. The current Dean of the Foreign Students Department is Professor Stelnikova D.Sc., who is also the Head of the Department for anatomy.

However, students who study in English medium also have to study Russian language to be able to communicate with local Russian people who have very little knowledge of English, and thus being able to communicate with patients for basic clinical training.

Faculty of Medicine

Most students have to undergo one year of preliminary course for one year, before continuing their undergraduate studies. General Medicine program lasts after 6 years.

The first academic year of the General Medicine course begins with the teaching of fundamental medical sciences such as medical biology, Biophysics, general chemistry and Organic Chemistry, History of Medicine, Human Anatomy, and so on. Because of the aforementioned, the course runs in a longer duration (a 6-year programme) as compared to General Medicine courses (5-year programmes) offered by other universities in other countries.

Clinical education starts officially on the third academic year with the so-called "cycles". Every few weeks, students are rotated and exposed to different parts of clinical medicine such as Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Infectious Diseases, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Neurology, Orthopedics, Radiology, Public Health and so on. Classes are then conducted in different specialised hospitals within the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Upon graduation, the graduates are awarded a first professional degree which is the doctor of medicine or M.D. which is an M.B.B.S. equivalent because the graduates have been trained in the field of general surgery. Students who have achieved very well academically are awarded with a red degree or a first class honor equivalent.

Accommodation and Cultural Life
Each hostel is equipped with a canteen and cafe with provisions of kitchen and dining hall on each floor. The academy provides a springboard for sportsmen with sporting facilities such as sports complex, including gymnasium, indoor football, badminton, tennis, volleyball, athletic stadiums, etc. Different social and cultural events are organized for foreign students. National and International associations of students are being organized to unite students from different countries.

Postgraduate Programmes

Postgraduate courses are also provided for both Russian and international students. Among the courses are Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Radiology, General Surgery, Traumatology and Orthopedics, Cardiovascular Surgery, Infectious Diseases, Neurology, Pediatric Surgery, Obstetric and Gynaecology, Epidemiology, Hygiene, Microbiology, Orthodontics etc.

Identity Documents Act 2010

The Identity Documents Act 2010 (c. 40) is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom which reverses the introduction of identity cards, and requires the destruction of the information held on the National Identity Register.

As a bill, it was presented to the House of Commons by Home Secretary Theresa May on 26 May 2010, making it the first government bill to be introduced to the 55th Parliament of the United Kingdom by the Cameron ministry.

Parliamentary passage
The government initially aimed to have the bill passed into law by August 2010, but the bill did not make sufficient progress to achieve this.

The bill passed the House of Commons on 15 September 2010, and was unopposed by the Opposition. It was introduced to the House of Lords on 5 October 2010, and received its second reading on 18 October 2010, and successfully passed through a Committee of the Whole House without amendment.

At report stage on 17 November 2010, however, peers accepted a Labour amendment to pay compensation to people who had already paid the charge to purchase an ID Card.

The amendment remained in place until the bill returned to the House of Commons, where it was rejected by the Speaker as it imposed an additional charge on the public purse not authorised by the Commons, which holds financial supremacy over the House of Lords. The Lords accepted the Commons disagreement to their amendment, and the bill received Royal Assent on 21 December 2010.

Provisions
The Act repeals the Identity Cards Act 2006 and requires the destruction of the information held on the National Identity Register. It legislates to:
 Cancel all existing ID cards within one month of Royal Assent
 Remove the statutory requirement to issue ID Cards
 Cancel the National Identity Register
 Require the destruction of all data held on the Register within one month of Royal Assent
 Close the Office of the Identity Commissioner
 Re-enact some criminal offences (possession or use of false identity documents) and certain other measures contained in the Identity Cards Act 2006

Although the Act ends the validity of ID cards as travel documents, no action will be taken to withdraw the National Identity Cards already issued.

Razmig Hovaghimian

Razmig Hovaghimian is an American entrepreneur. He is co-founder and CEO of the international online streaming video site Viki, and senior executive officer of global content and a board observer at Rakuten. He is also a co-founder and board member of Embrace.

Early life and education
Hovaghimian was born in Cairo, Egypt, to Armenian parents. He moved to Los Angeles, California, by himself at the age of 16. Hovaghimian attended the University of California at Berkeley, majoring in political economy and minoring in business administration. After graduating, he spent time as a consultant at Mitchell Madison Group in the US and Europe, before relocating to Japan to work as a management consultant at ad agency Dentsu. He returned to the US to attend the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he received his MBA.

Career

Embrace
While attending Stanford, after a summer spent working with the United Nations in South Sudan, Hovaghimian, Jane Chen, Rahul Panicker and Linus Liang founded Embrace, an affordable alternative to a premature infant incubator, designed specifically for infants in developing countries and isolated communities. It can be manufactured at a cost much lower than that of an incubator. Launched in 2011, the Embrace looks like a tiny sleeping bag, with an electric heater and a wrap for the infant to keep the temperature warm. It started as a class project, growing to a company based in 14 countries as of 2014.

Embrace received an INDEX People's Choice Award, and in 2010 was selected as an Innovative Technology for Public Health by the World Health Organization.

NBC Universal
In 2007, Hovaghimian went to work at NBCUniversal in the strategic planning group. By 2009, he was a senior vice president, as Viki, then a part-time project, continued to grow. Hovaghimian left NBC later that year to focus full-time on Viki.

Viki
Hovaghimian is the co-founder and CEO of Viki, an international online video service that specializes in licensing television content for online distribution. Initially called Viikii.net, the company was conceived with Changseong Ho and Jiwon Moon as a Stanford class project. Viki gets its name from combining the words video and wiki. It was originally created as a language-learning tool, helping its users learn languages by creating subtitles on online videos, before morphing into an international online video site, licensing content from countries across the globe, with subtitles crowd sourced from its international community of viewers and volunteer translators.

In 2010, Hovaghimian incorporated Viki and moved to Singapore, where he set up the company's headquarters and hired its first engineers. He chose Singapore for the company's headquarters in part due to its proximity to key Asian markets. The company also maintains offices in San Francisco, Seoul and Tokyo. The beta version of Viki.com was released in December 2010. Also in 2010, Viki raised $4.3 million in Series A funding from investors including Reid Hoffman of Greylock Partners, Marc Andreessen of Andreessen Horowitz, Charles River Ventures and Joi Ito's Neotney Labs. At the time, it had 4 million active monthly users. Later that year, Ho and Moon left Viki. In 2011, the company raised an additional $20 million in Series B funding, led by SK Telecom and BBC Worldwide. SurveyMonkey CEO Dave Goldberg and Sling Media founder Blake Kirkorian became strategic investors in 2013.

Viki was acquired by Japanese e-commerce group Rakuten in September 2013 for approximately $200 million. At the time, Viki had 22 million viewers per month, and over 200 different viewer countries in Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. As of September 2014, Viki has 30 million unique viewers per month, and content translated into 200 languages.

Rakuten
In December 2013, following its acquisition of Viki, Rakuten announced that Hovaghimian would become its senior executive officer of global content. He oversees Rakuten's entire video content business worldwide, including Viki.com and Wuaki.tv, which airs paid premium content in Europe. He was also named an observer to Rakuten's board of directors.

Investments
In 2014, Hovaghimian invested in Singapore-based web development platform Nitrous.IO. Later that year, he invested in Envoy, a digital visitor registration app.

Honors and awards
 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, 2013
 Forbes Next Gen Innovator, 2014

Filmography
Hovaghimian served as a producer on Ozuma, a 2012 Japanese anime television series based on the works of Leiji Matsumoto. He has also helped to produce several short films, including Oh Lucy! which premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and received a second place Cinéfondation Award, and received an honorable mention for Best International Short Film at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

Personal life
Hovaghimian lives in San Francisco, California, with his wife and children.
