Mathilde ter Heijne

Mathilde ter Heijne (born 1969 in Strasbourg, France) is a Berlin-based Dutch artist primarily working within the mediums of video, performance, and installation practices. She studied in Maastricht at the Stadsacademie (1988-1992), in Amsterdam at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten (1992-1994). From 2011 to 2018 has been a professor of Visual Art, Performance, Media and Installation at Kunsthochschule Kassel and since 2018 she is professor of Visual Arts, Performance, and Media at the University of the Arts in Berlin.

Work

Ter Heijne's research based practice is founded in intersectional feminism. Her video art produced in the 1990s destabilized patriarchal tropes within literature and cinema through elaborate re-stagings and role reversals. Some examples of this include Mathilde, Mathilde where the artist herself mimics suicidal female lovers in cinema adaptations or her 2001 video project Small Things End, Great things Endure where she offers a reading of Uwe Johnson's Jahrestage (1934–84). In both of these works, ter Heijne responds to female and culturally embedded generational trauma where in the end, be it a story, movie, or in real life, the woman always dies. This internal perpetual state of abjection or what Griselda Pollock has called the trauma of being born into a phallocentric world are both concepts that ter Heijne contends with and untimely rips apart. By "playing the victim," ter Heijne subtly reverses power roles transforming woman as object into woman as subject.

In her more recent work (2005–present), ter Heijne shows an activist and yet similarly radical approach to art-making as a participatory process. In her on-going project Woman To Go, she collects biographies from women that lived during the 19th century that are encroaching oblivion. To counteract cultural amnesia, she re-presents these biographies in the context of the art institution converting forgotten once relevant lives into speaking testimonies that reverberate traces through the present.

For ter Heijne, ritual and ceremony are structures for artistic observation and potential emancipation. Ritual, historically, is where woman has both lost and gained her power. For instance, marriage formatively and sometimes presently is a social contract entrapping women into what Simone de Beauvoir calls a Second Sex. Fuck Patriarchy! (2004) exemplifies this subservient, minor position of the Second Sex that woman historically occupied in bourgeoisie societies. Ter Heijne points to Dutch society within the 17th century as the originating point for this kind of patriarchal oppression. She places Vermeer's paintings of domicile female happiness at the apex of this banal perpetration of evil that glorifies woman as slaves. Within both the mythic and non-western culture, however, ritual has been a site for woman to seize power or be rescued from precarity. In Menschen Opfern, Mathilde ter Heijne's sculptural body double stands in for the body of Iphigenia who in Greek tragedy was saved from sacrifice to become a priestess. In the installation, cast bodies lay on an elevated stage as an operatic chorus from Christoph Willibald Gluck's opera Iphigénie en Tauride is heard in the background. The theatre stage and the chorus are both structures where participants act together in unison to weave together shared stories and experiences.

Statements

Oliver Koerner von Gustorf in ArtMag: “her art really does aim at what really hurts—the mechanisms of oppressing women, domestic violence, marginalization, and self-sacrifice that lie hidden behind the facades of purportedly enlightened or intact family relationships.”

Sophia Trollmann in the covering handout of the exhibition Performing Change: “She puts alternative ways of seeing and experiential values up for discussion in order to enable and implement a change in perspective, to create new realities.”

1988–89 USAC Championship Car season

The 1988–89 USAC Gold Crown Championship season consisted of one race, the 73rd Indianapolis 500 on May 28, 1989. The USAC National Champion and Indianapolis 500 winner was Emerson Fittipaldi.

The schedule was based on a split-calendar, beginning in June 1988 and running through May 1989. Since USAC had dropped out of sanctioning Indy car races outside the Indy 500, the Gold Crown Championship consisted of only one event. The preeminent national championship season was instead sanctioned by CART.

Vile Imbeciles

Vile Imbeciles (or VI) are an English alternative rock band from Brighton formed in 2005 consisting of ex-The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster guitarist Andy Huxley on guitar and vocals, Evan Reinhold on drums and Deen Lim on bass guitar and vocals.

The band's work to date comprises four studio albums, all released on independent record labels.

Inception and ...Ma
The band was formed in 2005 following Huxley's departure from The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.  The original line-up was Huxley, James Hair ("lead bassist", formerly of Neils Children), and Rob "Bertie" Lean (drums and vocals). The debut album "...Ma", was released on 4 June 2007 on White Heat Records, and was shortly followed by the single "Slack Hands" on 18 June 2007. The album title was a dedication to longtime friend and supporter Dave Ma, who directed the video to "Slack Hands". The album was recorded by Huxley in his bedroom in Hove and received some attention from the press, being reviewed in both NME and Kerrang! amongst others, the former giving it 2 out of 10 and the latter 4 out of 5. Owing to the album's harsh sound the band received a mixed reception from previous fans of Huxley.

Queenie Was A Blonde / Death Jazz
Released under the name "Queenie Was A Blonde" on 14 July 2008 on Tea Vee Eye Records, the band's second album included the addition of Caspian Rospigliosi on guitar. The album title was taken from the opening line of the Joseph Moncure March poem The Wild Party. The first single from the album "Bad Ideas" was released on 18 August 2008, the promotional video being shot on the same day that Lean quit the group. The band went on to promote the album with new drummer Evan Reinhold, who had previously collaborated with Huxley in bohemian cabaret band The Dirty Cakes (featured on the BBC Three Reality TV Show Singing with the Enemy).

The band completed their thirty-minute one song mini-concept-album "Death Jazz" in late 2008; the recording features Reinhold and Lean drumming alongside each other on the work. The band's self-styled Death Jazz genre and concept album had been a running joke continuously referred to in interviews since the band's inception. The Guardian subsequently released an article referring to death jazz as a new musical genre, only briefly mentioning the band. Huxley has since commented on the concept album, "The idea was that it would be a sort of homage to Ornette Coleman’s album Free Jazz. It was meant to be a sort of metal-jazz backwards thing. We recorded it anyway, but Death Jazz is probably not the best term for it: it’s more free post-rock or something like that." On 16 March 2009 the band released the mini album as a B-side to the double A-side single "Jennifer"/"Tramp", both A-side tracks being taken from the "Queenie Was a Blonde" album. The album was reviewed by the NME who noted "Brighton four-piece Vile Imbeciles show scant regard for the traditions of the recorded format" in their decision to release an album as a B-side to a single and gave the album 8 out of 10 stating the work was "the manifestation of a magnificent perversion". The videos to both A-side singles were shot on location in the disused bank Reinhold was living in.

D Is For W
In October 2009, shortly after the band had begun recording their fourth studio album, Hair announced his retirement from music to launch his new company Mr Hair's Pie Factory. Early 2010 saw the band's return to live performances playing completely new material as a five-piece with the addition of Deen Lim on bass and Liam Dowling on synths, with all five members of the group sharing vocals. Throughout 2010 and 2011 the already largely recorded album found itself in a constant state of editing and re-recording, with the band using a total of 4 producers. The album was finally released on 3 October 2011 as a joint production by Cameron Devlin & former Pink Grease songwriter Steven Santa Cruz, and was named "D is for W" after a complaint "D.. No, D. D as in W... No, D. D for W... D is for W" Huxley overheard and "completely understood" whilst working in the complaints department of an Insurance Company. The album was described by Huxley as both born of a "severe inner struggle" and "positive and perfect". The album received positive reviews with Uncut describing it as a "Hyper-intense and malevolent, brilliantly well-crafted, math-funk/death jazz hybrid that suggests a cerebral aneurysm reaching critical point" and MOJO calling it "pop that simultaneously grates, intrigues and beguiles".

Return to a three piece and unannounced hiatus
Throughout 2012 VI again underwent major line-up changes. Keyboardist/guitarist Liam Dowling's departure from the group was announced via the band's website in March, and following a short French tour as a four piece the band ceased playing live. In the autumn Huxley returned to touring with The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster and an announcement on the VI Facebook stated that guitarist/vocalist Caspian Rospigliosi had left the band and that Huxley, Reinhold and Lim were continuing as a three piece.

After a tour showcasing new material in 2013 the band returned to the studio to work on their fifth album. Although no announcement was made, the band went on indefinite hiatus without releasing the material.

Robert Evans Snodgrass

Robert Evans Snodgrass (R.E. Snodgrass) (July 5, 1875 – September 4, 1962) was an American entomologist and artist who made important contributions to the fields of arthropod morphology, anatomy, evolution, and metamorphosis.

He was the author of 76 scientific articles and six books, including Insects, Their Ways and Means of Living (1930) and the book considered to be his crowning achievement, the Principles of Insect Morphology (1935).

Biography

R.E. Snodgrass was born in St. Louis, Missouri on July 5, 1875, to James Cathcart Snodgrass and Annie Elizabeth Evans Snodgrass, where he lived until he was eight years old. He was the oldest of three children. His admitted first ambition in life was to be a railway engineer or a Pullman conductor, though frequent visits to the St. Louis Zoo aroused his early interests in zoology. His first recollections of entomology were recorded by E.B. Thurman:

The first entomological observation which Dr. Snodgrass recalls is seeing that the legs of grasshoppers, cut off by his father's lawnmower, could still kick while lying on the pavement. This apparently mysterious fact made a strong impression on him, and he decided that sometime he would look into the matter.

In 1883, he and his family moved to Wetmore, Kansas, where his father worked in a local bank, and young Snodgrass began work as a self-taught taxidermist. He had a particular interest in birds, even expressing a desire to become an ornithologist, though his family only allowed limited shooting of birds for his mounted collections. At age 15, the family again moved, this time to Ontario, California, where they settled on a  ranch and grew oranges, prunes, and grapes. It was here that Snodgrass entered a Methodist preparatory school at the high school level, then known as Chaffey College. He studied Latin, Greek, French, German, physics, chemistry, and drawing, but notably no biology because the curriculum forbade involving the teaching of evolution. Snodgrass bypassed this problem by reading Darwin, Huxley, and Spencer in his free time. His openly professed belief in evolution caused him problems in his relationships at home, and eventually resulted in being expelled from church activities in his community.

In 1895, at the age of 20, Snodgrass entered Stanford University and majored in zoology, taking classes such as general zoology, embryology, entomology with Dr. Vernon Lyman Kellogg, ichthyology with then Stanford president Dr. David Starr Jordan, and comparative vertebrate anatomy. His first opportunity to conduct research came from Dr. Kellogg, who set him to work on the biting lice (Mallophaga). The excitement of research, and the prospect for publishing original work led to his giving up the desire to become an ornithologist, and the publication of his first two science articles (works 1, 2). During this time, Snodgrass also participated in his first two field expeditions, the first to the Pribilof Islands led by Dr. Jordan, and the second to the Galapagos Islands, led by Edmund Heller. Snodgrass eventually published seven papers with Heller regarding organisms collected during the Galapagos expedition (works 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 16, 19). Snodgrass graduated from Stanford University with his A.B. degree in Zoology in 1901.

He was awarded the 1961 Leidy Award from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

2014 Jadavpur University protests

The Hok Kolorob Movement (Bengali: হোক কলরব আন্দোলন) or the 2014 Jadavpur University student protest, was a four-month long series of protests by the students of Jadavpur University in Kolkata, India that began on 3 September 2014. The term "Hok Kolorob" (literally, "let there be polyphony", Bengali: হোক কলরব) was originally the title of a song by Bangladeshi singer Arnob and began to be used as a hashtag on Facebook.

On 16 September 2014, peaceful demonstrations by students took place in front of the administrative building of the University, demanding an investigation into the molestation of a female student in campus. Following several unsuccessful attempts at dialogue with the authorities, the students gheraoed some personnel of the University authority, including the Vice-Chancellor, Abhijit Chakrabarti. The Vice-Chancellor called the police. The subsequent police brutality unleashed upon the students in the early hours of 17 September triggered a wave of protests by students and teachers.

Criticisms of the police brutality included that police used baton charge on a peaceful demonstration, that female students were manhandled and molested by male police officers, and that several men not in uniform attacked the students. The police maintain that there were plainclothesmen among their ranks while the students insist that these were Trinamool Congress (the ruling party of the state of West Bengal) cadres. The official position of the Calcutta Police is that "minimum lawful force" was applied to escort the Vice-Chancellor and other members of the committee out of the University.

Demonstrations showing solidarity with the students started in Kolkata and across India, including in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Protest marches in Kolkata had progressively increasing turnout, culminating in a rally on 20 September, at the end of which a delegation of students met the Governor of West Bengal, Keshari Nath Tripathi. Estimates of participants in the rally fluctuate between 30000 and over 100000 people.

The protests have been marked with a strong cultural flavour: students have been singing, dancing and arranging diverse cultural manifestations throughout the days while the protests ensue. The protests have a large oeuvre of posters, graffiti, poems, songs, slogans, street plays and performances dotting the University campus and the streets of Kolkata. This has led the Trinamool Congress to link this protest to the student movements of the 1970s. It is one of the first movements in India to significantly employ social media and internet activism for coordination and dissemination.

Origins

On 28 August, a female second-year student at Jadavpur University was dragged into the Old Boys' Hostel on campus and molested, and her male friend beaten up, by 10 residents of the hostel. According to the girl's father, when he approached the interim Vice-Chancellor, Abhijit Chakrabarti, on 1 September, he was told to wait for a couple of days as Chakrabarti was going to New Delhi. The father lodged a police complaint on 2 September and sent a letter to the University authorities on 3 September, upon which an internal inquiry was ordered in the Vice-Chancellor's absence, believed to be at the behest of state Education Minister Partha Chatterjee. An Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) was formed in accordance with the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 to investigate the matter. However, the committee was compromised when two of its members visited the girl's home in Bidhannagar on 5 September, refusing to identify themselves and asking questions about her dress on the night of the incident. This led to the girl filing a General Diary with the Bidhannagar police station on 6 September for "mental harassment" in which she identified them as professors of the Sanskrit and Women's Studies Departments of Jadavpur University.

A number of students then staged demonstrations demanding that the accused ICC committee members be replaced, as well as forming an "external committee", effectively the Local Complaint Committee (LCC) recommended by the Sexual Harassment Act, and demanding increased security for students within the campus. This was not acceptable to the Vice-Chancellor, but, at the same time, he asked the students to wait until after the meeting of the Executive Councils on the evening of 16 September. At the meeting of the Executive Councils it was decided that it is not possible for a panelist to be replaced at some intermediate point of an investigation. This inability to replace panelists, according to University officials, is mandated in the Vishaka Guidelines of the Supreme Court. The officials instead presented a letter which talked about students' code of conduct, totally deviating from the demands of the students.

On the evening of 16 September, after the meeting of Executive Councils was finished, students gheraoed some university officials, including Vice-Chancellor Abhijit Chakrabarti, in their offices. Following several attempts to communicate and reach an understanding between the officials and the students, the situation reached an impasse, and the students continued their demonstration into the night. The Vice-Chancellor summoned police for protection.

Timeline

17 September
The Kolkata Police arrived at the scene around 8 pm. Some senior officials from the police department tried to negotiate with the students but could not come to a settlement. At around 2 am on 17 September, the lights at the entrance to the Administrative Building were suddenly turned off. This was followed by police assault on students, lifting the gherao and thereby completing the rescue operation. The police beat up several students, and arrested 36. Some students were injured, and needed to be hospitalized.

Students say that the police force was aided by several civil-dressed outsiders (cadres of Trinamool Congress, according to students). The gherao was dismantled, and the Vice Chancellor was escorted off the campus by the police. This was immediately followed by a road block by the students in front of the Jadavpur police station. Students allege that female students were manhandled by the police force.

Criticism
The incident of the beating of students by the police sparked nationwide reaction, with a high amount of protest on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Videos of the attack on the students surfaced on the internet and TV channels.

20 September
Students of the University have boycotted classes since the incident of police brutality. On 20 September, a rally was organized by students in the heart of the city, and was attended by students from the University, other educational institutions, and the general populace in a spontaneous outburst of outrage at the brutality with which the opposition to authority was stamped out. The rally ended peacefully, with student representatives holding a meeting with the Governor of West Bengal, Keshari Nath Tripathi, who is also the Chancellor of the University. Estimates of the number of participants in the rally vary between 30,000 and over 100,000 people. On the same day, protest demonstrations were held in several other Indian cities, showing solidarity with the students of Jadavpur University.

22 September
On 22 September, a rally was arranged by the ruling Trinamool Congress party against the students. According to newspaper reports, school and college students from suburban and rural areas were dragged to the rally in order to showcase the power of the ruling party. The agitating students of Jadavpur University were mocked through slogans and posters.

25 September
The Pro-Vice Chancellor of Jadavpur University resigned on 25 September 2014, citing that he was not part of the decision to call police inside university campus.

7 October
On 7 October, notwithstanding protests by students demanding the resignation of the Interim Vice-Chancellor Abhijit Chakrabarti, the Governor of West Bengal Keshrinath Tripathy, who is also the Chancellor of the university, appointed Chakrabarti as the Vice-Chancellor for a period of four years.

16 October
Marking one month since the police crackdown against agitating students at the University, students held a fire-torch rally in the evening and 700 students undertook a 24-hour hunger strike. The campus was full of posters and graffiti and students wore black badges, burned effigies of the Vice-Chancellor, and shouted slogans demanding his resignation.

18 October
Classes started again at JU on 18 October, but students refused to record attendance. Open air classes were held by professors as a mark of protest.

24 December
Final year students who were to accept their graduation certificates and medals from the hands of the Vice Chancellor on 24 December refused to do so and called for a boycott of the convocation ceremony. A last-minute decision by the authorities to have the Chancellor distribute the certificates rather than the Vice Chancellor, didn't stop protests. The Chancellor was greeted with black flags and posters on entering the campus. The top graduating student from the arts faculty, Gitasree Sarkar, politely refused to accept her certificate and medal in the presence of the Vice Chancellor as a mark of protest. Other students  did the same. The Vice Chancellor left the venue in the middle of the convocation ceremony.

5 January 2015
Students who had been attending classes without recording attendance as a sign of protest, intensified their protest by announcing a "fast unto death" strike on 5 January 2015. Ten students started the fast. In the ensuing days, at least three of the eleven students were hospitalized. However, more students joined and by 11 January, the number had swelled to at least 17. Parents announced a token fast of 24 hours on 12 January.

12 January 2015
After the "fast unto death" lasting almost 160 hours with active involvement from students, parents and non-students members, the Education Minister arrived at JU on 12 January in an attempt to negotiate and persuade students to call off the fast. Chief minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee arrived at JU shortly after. Around 6:30 pm, after having a meeting with the university officials, the chief minister emerged from the meeting and announced the Vice Chancellor's resignation.

Support
Students, alumni and teachers from major educational institutions in the city and from colleges from across the country have supported the protests. Alumni of the University have arranged for demonstrations in New York, London and Sydney. Participants of the 2013 Shahbag protests in Bangladesh expressed solidarity with the protests. A citizen's convention condemning the police brutality was arranged in the university campus on 24 September, which was attended by eminent educationists and intellectuals.

Opposition
While students demanded an apology and resignation from the Vice-Chancellor, he said that he felt his life was threatened by the student protest, which was why he summoned police.

The Commissioner of Police said in a press conference that police came on to the campus only at the request of the Vice-Chancellor. He accused students of offending police officers by using foul language to them. He also said that police were not carrying any lathis, so there was no question of any baton charge (lathi charge). This provoked criticism, as several video clips showed officers carrying lathis.

The main contention by the authorities (both the University and the state government), is that the students were not peaceful, and that the lives and safety of University officials, including the Vice-Chancellor, were under real and tangible threat from the students. Another point raised by the administration was the large presence of "outsiders" among the protesters - students and others who were not currently affiliated with Jadavpur University. According to Vice-Chancellor Abhijit Chakrabarti in an interview with a news channel, these outsiders - alleged to be from rival political parties or to be drug-dealers who supply the student population - were the main element of the rowdiness that justified the use of punitive force.

Influence

Following the events at Jadavpur University, two other West Bengal universities, Presidency in Kolkata and Visva Bharati in Santiniketan, have seen similar student unrest. "The agitation in Presidency started predominantly due to the lack of information provided to students," says Suman Sen, a student of the university.

Following the administration's decision to abolish the 50 percent Internal quota for Visva Bharati's two school Patha Bhavana and Siksha Satra in undergraduate and postgraduate courses, around 400 students blocked the entry to the central and vice-chancellor’s offices to protest. The protest has resulted in class and annual examination boycotts. Speaking against the Internal Quota, Amartya Sen had remarked, "If our interest lies not in the greater good of the society, if our only concern is limited to the academic opportunism that would benefit our own children, and to this end we employ Quotas, then it is safe to say that there is a fundamental lack in the thought process".

In an article Siddharth Sivakumar, an alumnus of Patha Bhavana, wrote "Those who have been drawing parallels between our and the Hokkolorob movement are misreading the situation. Hokkolorob was relevant in its unique context, but its application elsewhere as a readymade imported frame for protest may not yield the same results. While it was a movement by university students, ours was primarily by young school students, even students who are a good few years away from any public examinations or admission tests."

Tell Johfiyeh

Tell Johfiyeh (2200 BC) is an archeological site in the village of Johfiyeh, Jordan, which dates back to the Iron Age.

Geographical Location

• Middle East.

• Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

• North Jordanian plateau.

• 7.5 km south-west of Irbid.

• Northern edge of the modern village of Johfiyeh.

• Within an agriculturally intensively used area.

• Rainfed-agriculture is possible.

The activities of 2002 indicate that Tell Johfiyeh and the small archaeological sites in its vicinity were used most probably as
farmsteads, dating back to the 7th century BC.
The following results were obtained:
Archaeological sites in the vicinity of Tell Johfiyeh
• Founded mainly during the Iron Age
• Usually re-settled during the Byzantine and Umayyad era
• Most probably agricultural facilities
• The sites maintained relations to each other
• Tell Irbid or Tell el-Husn probably functioned as central sites
• Two phases of settlement could be separated: Iron Age II and
Byzantine-Umayyad era
•z Remains of the latter were found exclusively on the south-
western fringe of the tell and at the eastern slope. Remains
of the Iron Age, however, were found all over the site and
dominate the finds made so far.
• Remains of the Byzantine-Umayyad era are:
-A cistern
-Remains of a small house
-Two almost complete vessels of clay
-Numerous clay sherds, glass and metal remains
• The remains from the Iron Age belong to domestic activities
within an agricultural world:
-Numerous fireplaces and cooking spots, grinding-
stones,  mortars, basalt pestles and scrapers,
weaving-weights, spinning-whorls, a three-footed
basalt-bowl with tools, „buttons“, numerous stone-vessels, several arrow-heads made of iron and needles as well as a few  pearls from carneol

HNLMS Overijssel (D815)

HNLMS Overijssel (D815) () was a destroyer of the . The ship was in service with the Royal Netherlands Navy from 1957 to 1982. The destroyer was named after the Dutch province of Overijssel and was the twelfth ship with this name. In 1982 the ship was taken out of service and sold to Peru where it was  renamed Coronel Bolognesi.

Design
The s were an improved and larger derivative of the previous , with more powerful machinery and heavier anti-aircraft armament. Like the Hollands, they were specialised escort ships, intended to defend convoys and task forces against hostile submarines and air attack.

Overijssel was  long overall and  between perpendiculars, with a beam of  and a draught of . Displacement was  standard and  full load. Unusually for destroyer-type ships, the Frieslands were fitted with side and deck armour to protect against splinter damage from near-misses by bombs. The machinery was based on that of the American s, with four Babcock & Wilcox boilers feeding two sets of geared steam turbines rated at  and driving two propeller shafts. This gave a speed of . Range was  at . The ship had a crew of 284officers and other ranks.

As built, Overijssel had a main gun armament of two twin Bofors 120 mm (4.7 in) automatic dual-purpose guns, with a close-in anti-aircraft armament of six Bofors 40 mm guns, four grouped around the mainmast and two forward of the ship's bridge. Anti-submarine armament consisted of two quadruple launchers for Bofors 375mm anti submarine rockets and two depth charge racks. In 1961, Overijssel was fitted with eight fixed 533 mm (21 inch) torpedo tubes for anti-submarine torpedoes, but these were unsuccessful and were removed by 1962. The two 40 mm guns forward of the bridge were removed in 1965 and the fire control systems for the remaining 40 mm guns removed in 1977–78.

Dutch service history
HNLMS Overijssel was one of eight s and was built at the Wilton-Fijenoord in Schiedam. The ship was laid down on 15 October 1953 and was launched on 8 August 1955. Overijssel was put into service on 4 October 1957.
On 1 July 1958 Overijssel departed from Den Helder to Dutch New Guinea. It reached Sorong on 7 August 1958 via the Suez Canal and Singapore. In November 1959 the ship returned to Den Helder.

In 1962 Overijssel again served in Dutch New Guinea. After the signing of the New York Agreement, Overijssel sailed the Sorong-Biak route several times and again to remove troops from the army.

On 14 November 1962 the ship left Biak as the last Dutch navy ship to leave Dutch New Guinea (Biak), returning to the Netherlands via the Suez Canal.

On 8 June 1977 Overijssel, with the frigate , the replenishment ship  and destroyer , visited Leningrad. This was the first Dutch squadron to visit Leningrad in twenty one years.

Overijssel was guardship for the 1979 Fastnet race, the last of five races of the Admiral's Cup. When severe weather hit the race on 13 and 14 August, the ship participated in rescue operations, both acting as a communications relay and directly rescuing the crews of yachts that had sunk or were in distress. Overijssel rescued survivors from three yachts as well as recovering several dead bodies.

8 February 1982 the ship together with the frigates , , ,  and the replenishment ship  departed from Den Helder for a trip to the USA to show the flag and for 200 years diplomatic relations. The ships returned to Den Helder on 19 May 1982.

On 11 June 1982 the vessel was decommissioned and sold to the Peruvian Navy.

Peruvian service history

The ship was commissioned into the Peruvian Navy on 14 June 1982 where the ship was renamed Coronel Bolognesi with the pennant number 70. The ship was decommissioned in 1990.

Generalized flag variety

In mathematics, a generalized flag variety (or simply flag variety) is a homogeneous space whose points are flags in a finite-dimensional vector space V over a field F. When F is the real or complex numbers, a generalized flag variety is a smooth or complex manifold, called a real or complex flag manifold. Flag varieties are naturally projective varieties.

Flag varieties can be defined in various degrees of generality. A prototype is the variety of complete flags in a vector space V over a field F, which is a flag variety for the special linear group over F. Other flag varieties arise by considering partial flags, or by restriction from the special linear group to subgroups such as the symplectic group. For partial flags, one needs to specify the sequence of dimensions of the flags under consideration. For subgroups of the linear group, additional conditions must be imposed on the flags.

In the most general sense, a generalized flag variety is defined to mean a projective homogeneous variety, that is, a smooth projective variety X over a field F with a transitive action of a reductive group G (and smooth stabilizer subgroup; that is no restriction for F of characteristic zero). If X has an F-rational point, then it is isomorphic to G/P for some parabolic subgroup P of G. A projective homogeneous variety may also be realised as the orbit of a highest weight vector in a projectivized representation of G. The complex projective homogeneous varieties are the compact flat model spaces for Cartan geometries of parabolic type. They are homogeneous Riemannian manifolds under any maximal compact subgroup of G, and they are precisely the coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups.

Flag manifolds can be symmetric spaces. Over the complex numbers, the corresponding flag manifolds are the Hermitian symmetric spaces. Over the real numbers, an R-space is a synonym for a real flag manifold and the corresponding symmetric spaces are called symmetric R-spaces.

Flags in a vector space

A flag in a finite dimensional vector space V over a field F is an increasing sequence of subspaces, where "increasing" means each is a proper subspace of the next (see filtration):

If we write the dim Vi = di then we have

where n is the dimension of V. Hence, we must have k ≤ n. A flag is called a complete flag if di = i for all i, otherwise it is called a partial flag. The signature of the flag is the sequence (d1, …, dk).

A partial flag can be obtained from a complete flag by deleting some of the subspaces. Conversely, any partial flag can be completed (in many different ways) by inserting suitable subspaces.

Prototype: the complete flag variety

According to basic results of linear algebra, any two complete flags in an n-dimensional vector space V over a field F are no different from each other from a geometric point of view. That is to say, the general linear group acts transitively on the set of all complete flags.

Fix an ordered basis for V, identifying it with Fn, whose general linear group is the group GL(n,F) of n × n invertible matrices. The standard flag associated with this basis is the one where the i th subspace is spanned by the first i vectors of the basis. Relative to this basis, the stabilizer of the standard flag is the group of nonsingular upper triangular matrices, which we denote by Bn. The complete flag variety can therefore be written as a homogeneous space GL(n,F) / Bn, which shows in particular that it has dimension n(n−1)/2 over F.

Note that the multiples of the identity act trivially on all flags, and so one can restrict attention to the special linear group SL(n,F) of matrices with determinant one, which is a semisimple algebraic group; the set of upper triangular matrices of determinant one is a Borel subgroup.

If the field F is the real or complex numbers we can introduce an inner product on V such that the chosen basis is orthonormal. Any complete flag then splits into a direct sum of one-dimensional subspaces by taking orthogonal complements. It follows that the complete flag manifold over the complex numbers is the homogeneous space

where U(n) is the unitary group and Tn is the n-torus of diagonal unitary matrices. There is a similar description over the real numbers with U(n) replaced by the orthogonal group O(n), and Tn  by the diagonal orthogonal matrices (which have diagonal entries ±1).

Partial flag varieties

The partial flag variety

is the space of all flags of signature (d1, d2, … dk) in a vector space V of dimension n = dk over F. The complete flag variety is the special case that di = i for all i. When k=2, this is a Grassmannian of d1-dimensional subspaces of V.

This is a homogeneous space for the general linear group G of V over F. To be explicit, take V = Fn so that G = GL(n,F). The stabilizer of a flag of nested subspaces Vi of dimension di can be taken to be the group of nonsingular block upper triangular matrices, where the dimensions of the blocks are ni := di − di−1 (with d0 = 0).

Restricting to matrices of determinant one, this is a parabolic subgroup P of SL(n,F), and thus the partial flag variety is isomorphic to the homogeneous space SL(n,F)/P.

If F is the real or complex numbers, then an inner product can be used to split any flag into a direct sum, and so the partial flag variety is also isomorphic to the homogeneous space

in the complex case, or

in the real case.

Generalization to semisimple groups
The upper triangular matrices of determinant one are a Borel subgroup of SL(n,F), and hence the stabilizers of partial flags are parabolic subgroups. Furthermore, a partial flag is determined by the parabolic subgroup which stabilizes it.

Hence, more generally, if G is a semisimple algebraic or Lie group, then the (generalized) flag variety for G is G/P where P is a parabolic subgroup of G. The correspondence between parabolic subgroups and generalized flag varieties allows each to be understood in terms of the other.

The extension of the terminology "flag variety" is reasonable, because points of G/P can still be described using flags. When G is a classical group, such as a symplectic group or orthogonal group, this is particularly transparent. If (V, ω) is a symplectic vector space then a partial flag in V is isotropic if the symplectic form vanishes on proper subspaces of V in the flag. The stabilizer of an isotropic flag is a parabolic subgroup of the symplectic group Sp(V,ω). For orthogonal groups there is a similar picture, with a couple of complications. First, if F is not algebraically closed, then isotropic subspaces may not exist: for a general theory, one needs to use the split orthogonal groups. Second, for vector spaces of even dimension 2m, isotropic subspaces of dimension m come in two flavours ("self-dual" and "anti-self-dual") and one needs to distinguish these to obtain a homogeneous space.

Cohomology

If G is a compact, connected Lie group, it contains a maximal torus T and the space G/T of left cosets with the quotient topology is a compact real manifold. If H is any other closed, connected subgroup of G containing T, then G/H is another compact real manifold. (Both are actually complex homogeneous spaces in a canonical way through  complexification.)

The presence of a complex structure and cellular (co)homology make it easy to see that the cohomology ring of G/H is concentrated in even degrees, but in fact, something much stronger can be said. Because G → G/H is a  principal H-bundle, there exists a classifying map G/H → BH with target the classifying space BH. If we replace G/H with the homotopy quotient GH in the sequence G → G/H → BH, we obtain a principal G-bundle called the Borel fibration of the right multiplication action of H on G, and we can use the cohomological Serre spectral sequence of this bundle to understand the fiber-restriction homomorphism H*(G/H) → H*(G)
and the characteristic map H*(BH) → H*(G/H), so called because its image, the characteristic subring of H*(G/H), carries the characteristic classes of the original bundle H → G → G/H.

Let us now restrict our coefficient ring to be a field k of characteristic zero, so that,
by Hopf's theorem, H*(G) is an exterior algebra on generators of odd degree (the subspace of primitive elements). It follows that the edge homomorphisms

of the spectral sequence must eventually take the space of primitive elements in the left column H*(G) of the page E2 bijectively into the bottom row H*(BH): we know G and H have the same  rank,
so if the collection of edge homomorphisms were not full rank on the primitive subspace, then the image of the bottom row H*(BH) in the final page H*(G/H) of the sequence would be infinite-dimensional as a k-vector space, which is impossible, for instance by cellular cohomology again, because a compact homogeneous space admits a finite CW structure.

Thus the ring map H*(G/H) → H*(G) is trivial in this case, and the characteristic map is surjective, so that H*(G/H) is a quotient of H*(BH). The kernel of the map is the ideal generated by the images of primitive elements under the edge homomorphisms, which is also the ideal generated by positive-degree elements in the image of the canonical map H*(BG) → H*(BH) induced by the inclusion of H in G.

The map H*(BG) → H*(BT) is injective, and likewise for H, with image the subring H*(BT)W(G) of elements invariant under the action of the Weyl group, so one finally obtains the concise description

where  denotes positive-degree elements and the parentheses the generation of an ideal. For example, for the complete complex flag manifold U(n)/Tn, one has

where the tj are of degree 2 and the σj are the first n elementary symmetric polynomials in the variables tj. For a more concrete example, take n = 2, so that U(2)/[U(1) × U(1)] is the complex Grassmannian Gr(1,ℂ2) ≈ ℂP1 ≈ S2. Then we expect the cohomology ring to be an exterior algebra on a generator of degree two (the fundamental class), and indeed,

as hoped.

Highest weight orbits and projective homogeneous varieties

If G is a semisimple algebraic group (or Lie group) and V is a (finite dimensional) highest weight representation of G, then the highest weight space is a point in the projective space P(V) and its orbit under the action of G is a projective algebraic variety. This variety is a (generalized) flag variety, and furthermore, every (generalized) flag variety for G arises in this way.

Armand Borel showed that this characterizes the flag varieties of a general semisimple algebraic group G: they are precisely the complete homogeneous spaces of G, or equivalently (in this context), the projective homogeneous G-varieties.

Symmetric spaces

Let G be a semisimple Lie group with maximal compact subgroup K. Then K acts transitively on any conjugacy class of parabolic subgroups, and hence the generalized flag variety G/P is a compact homogeneous Riemannian manifold K/(K∩P) with isometry group K. Furthermore, if G is a complex Lie group, G/P is a homogeneous Kähler manifold.

Turning this around, the Riemannian homogeneous spaces

M = K/(K∩P)

admit a strictly larger Lie group of transformations, namely G. Specializing to the case that M is a symmetric space, this observation yields all symmetric spaces admitting such a larger symmetry group, and these spaces have been classified by Kobayashi and Nagano.

If G is a complex Lie group, the symmetric spaces M arising in this way are the compact Hermitian symmetric spaces: K is the isometry group, and G is the biholomorphism group of M.

Over the real numbers, a real flag manifold is also called an R-space, and the R-spaces which are Riemannian symmetric spaces under K are known as symmetric R-spaces. The symmetric R-spaces which are not Hermitian symmetric are obtained by taking G to be a real form of the biholomorphism group Gc of a Hermitian symmetric space Gc/Pc such that P := Pc∩G is a parabolic subgroup of G.  Examples include projective spaces (with G the group of projective transformations) and spheres (with G the group of conformal transformations).

Red Lake Miners

The Red Lake Miners are a Canadian junior 'A' ice hockey team based in Red Lake, Ontario.  The Miners play in Hockey Canada's Superior International Junior Hockey League.

History
In May 2013, the SIJHL announced that the Ear Falls Eagles would be joining the league for the 2013–14 season. Weeks later, it was announced that the team would instead be called the English River Miners to better represent the entire community.

On September 20, 2013, the Miners played the first game in their franchise's history in Dryden, Ontario, against the Dryden Ice Dogs. The Miners lost 4–2 after giving up two last minute goals, one of which was on an empty net. Nathan Johnson scored the first goal in team history 6:06 into the first period. Greg Harney played the first game in net, making 32 saves. On October 10, 2013, the Miners picked up their first franchise victory, on home ice, defeating the Wisconsin Wilderness by a score of 3–1. Devan Vander Wyk scored the eventual game-winning goal 3:47 into the third period, while Holden Melgoza made 29 saves for the victory.

After finishing last in the SIJHL in their second season, Derek Sweet-Coulter was named head coach for Miners in 2015. One season later, the English River Miners moved to Red Lake, Ontario, with the Cochenour Arena as their home ice. In August 2018, the team rebranded as the Red Lake Miners. Sweet-Coulter led the Miners for four seasons before leaving to coach for the Merritt Centennials of the British Columbia Hockey League after winning the SIJHL Coach of the Year in 2019.

Former professional hockey player Geoff Walker was then hired as general manager and head coach for the 2019–20 season. Walker came to Red Lake after one season leading the Hinton Wildcats in the Western States Hockey League to a 23–19–1–2 record in the team's only season.
