He was also the Director General of Police in Punjab.Passage 2:Brian Kennedy (gallery director)Brian Patrick Kennedy (born 5 November 1961) is an Irish-born art museum director who has worked in Ireland and Australia, and now lives and works in the United States.  He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site.  Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing "blockbuster" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds.  As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later.  Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new "front" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the "Sensation exhibition" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being "too close to the market" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was "Catholic-bashing" and an "aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion." In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had " obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art". He has said that it "was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far."Kennedy was also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not

Her second husband was Ekbert I of Meissen.In 1067, shortly before his death,Ekbert I attempted to repudiate Immilla in order to marry Adela of Louvain, daughter of Lambert II,Count of Louvain and the widow of Otto I, Margrave of Meissen. After Ekbert's death in 1068, Immillaspent some time at the imperial court with her niece Bertha, before returning to Italy.

The drama features Vittorio Gassman, Barry Sullivan and Polly Bergen.PlotAn obsessive lawman(Barry Sullivan) who works for the state chases an escaped fugitive (Vittorio Gassman) through theLouisiana bayou.CastVittorio Gassman as JoryBarry Sullivan as Lieutenant TunnerPolly Bergen as JanetTunnerWilliam Conrad as GoodwinMary Zavian as EllaRobert Burton as Warden KeeleyHarry Shannon asSheriff BrownJonathan Cott as Deputy DavisReceptionAccording to MGM records the film earned$376,000 in the US and Canada and $249,000 elsewhere resulting in a loss of $179,000.CriticalresponseFilm critic Hal Erickson, of Allmovie, has praised the directing of the film, writing, "On the whole,the MGM B product of the 1950s contained some of the studio's best-ever 'small' pictures...Cry of theHunted is directed with flair by Joseph H. Lewis, who always managed to rise above the slimmest ofbudgets and the barest of production values."TV Guide in its film guide also wrote well of the film,"Stylishly directed chase film from Lewis who had previously shown his talent in Gun Crazy...At one pointhe is caught but again breaks free, only to be recaptured again at the finale. Interesting subplot hasConrad waiting for Sullivan to make a wrong move so he can grab his job."Noir analysisCritics Alain Silverand Elizabeth Ward, in various sections of their analysis of the film, discuss a sub silentio theme found inthe movie: the homosexual undercurrent of the protagonists; they write, "After an initial scene, in whichSullivan and Gassman wrestle each other to exhaustion and then sit sharing cigarettes like brothers,"and, "...even in his sleep [Sullivan] is obsessive as he dreams of the escapee in homoerotic terms," and,"Gassman too seems drawn to his pursuer."Film critic Eddie Muller, in an interview for Bright Lights FilmJournal, agrees, "I once showed this goofy B film called Cry of the Hunted, with Barry Sullivan andWilliam Conrad — it's swamp noir. In Los Angeles, the audience adored it. They howled, especially at theover-the-top gay subtext between the two lead actors. They fight, and when it's obvious the fight is over,they're still wrestling around the floor. Then they lie against the wall and smoke cigarettes. The L.A.audience ate it up."Passage 2:The Hunted (2015 film)The Hunted is a 2015 American film based on theaction comedy web series The Hunted (2001) created and directed by Robert Chapin. Starring Chapin andMonique Ganderton in lead roles. It tells the story of a struggling actor who leads a group of misfit slayersagainst an army of vampires. The film is one of the first to be produced under SAG’s New Media contractand was distributed online through Vimeo VOD.PlotComing to terms with his unsuccessful attempts atbecoming an actor, Bob (Chapin) is bitten by a vampire named Susan, (Ganderton) who is the daughterof a crazed vigilante slayer. Consequently, Bob becomes one of the Hunted, a small group of humans,bitten but not turned, who use cold steel and fighting technique to fend off vampires. The vampires,however, have developed an immunity to everything over the years, and the only way they can be killedis with a sword. Luckily, Bob knows how to wield a sword, mostly due to his starring role in a cheesy 80’saction flick called, “Vampslayer”. Find How Bob helps Susan and the Hunted defend the vampires formsthe rest of the story.CastRobert Chapin as BobMonique Ganderton as SusanDavid Lain Baker asHarryGary Kasper as DragosTex Wall as Lore MasterAndrew Helm as KevinAnthony De Longis asVincentProductionConception and writingThe Hunted began in 2001 as a long-standing Internet series,created by Chapin in an effort to train his credentials as a stuntman and VFX-artist. Embracing his skillswith a sword and his technical abilities behind the camera, he collaborated with his friends and colleaguesin order to combine their talents and undertake an underdog story of LA-based vampire hunters. The factthat user-generated content created by fans became the main content source for the online series isreflected in the theme of the film, where soccer moms learn to become vampire slayers, just like fanslearning to become filmmakers, thus providing everyone a chance to discover their true potential. Thedialogues in the film make use of copious lines from well-known films and poems, ranging from Scarface(1983) and Independence Day (1996) to Shakespeare.FilmingThe film received financial support in June2011 via a Kickstarter campaign. The film was shot in Hollywood, California in 2012 and is co-producedby New Deal Studios, the Academy Award-winning effects studio behind numerous blockbuster films,including Inception (2010) and Interstellar (2014).

Passage 1:O Valencia!"O Valencia!" is the fifth single by the indie rock band The Decemberists, and thefirst released from their fourth studio album, The Crane Wife.The music was written by The Decemberistsand the lyrics by Colin Meloy. It tells a story of two star-crossed lovers. The singer falls in love with aperson who belongs to an opposing gang. At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defendthe singer, who is confronting his lover's brother (the singer's "sworn enemy") and is killed by the bulletintended for the singer.Track listingThe 7" single sold in the UK was mispressed, with "Culling of the Fold"as the B-side despite the artwork and record label listing "After the Bombs" as the B-side.Music videosForthe "O Valencia!" music video, The Decemberists filmed themselves in front of a green screen and askedfans to complete it by digitally adding in background images or footage. Stephen Colbert of The ColbertReport, having recently asked fans to do the same with a video of him with a light saber in front of agreen screen, brought up The Decemberists on his segment "Look Who's Riding on My Coattails Now" andaccused the band of stealing the idea. The Decemberists' response was to challenge Stephen Colbert to aguitar solo showdown on December 20, 2006, on The Colbert Report.On January 19, 2007, TheDecemberists premiered an alternate music video of "O Valencia!", directed by Aaron Stewart-Ahn, onMTV2. The video follows a character named Patrick, played by Meloy, as he and his love Francesca (LisaMolinaro), daughter of "the Boss", plan an escape to an unknown location. At a cafe, a man in a suit,portrayed by the band member Chris Funk, tells him to hide in the "Valencia" hotel (the Super Value Innon North Interstate Avenue in Portland, Oregon) while he gets them the necessary documentation toescape. Above the name of the hotel, there is a neon sign that reads "Office". The letters have all burntout except for the "O", creating the title of the song. The video then introduces other characters - variousassassination teams - who sit in different rooms of the hotel waiting for the chance to catch the twolovers. Most are portrayed by other members of the band (along with Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis). They killoff any potential witnesses to their plan. Patrick manages to take down one member from each team,before they gang up on him. The Boss arrives, along with the man from the cafe, who reveals that hesnitched on Patrick and Francesca. They execute Francesca, while forcing Patrick to watch.

If he simply chants the phrase, "Whoop-te-doo", the horseresponds with a burst of speed. There is a special bond between the jockey and his mount, but there isincreasing tension between Doyle and the horse's owner, Pop Blake (who also raised Doyle), over Doyle'srelationship with local singer Babe Ellis. Blake sees Ellis as a distraction prior to the upcoming big race,the Camden Stakes.The owner of the club where Babe sings, Wally Weber, has his eyes on his horsewinning the Camden Stakes. When the issues between Pop and Doyle come to a head, Pop tells Doylethat he has to choose: either he stops seeing Babe, or he'll be replaced as Six-Shooter's jockey in the bigrace. Angry and frustrated, Doyle quits. Weber approaches him to become the jockey for Rose Dawn,Weber's horse, and Doyle agrees, with the precondition that he not ride Royal Dawn in the CamdenStakes, for he wants Six-Shooter to still win the race.  Weber accedes to that one precondition, however,on the day of the race, he makes it clear that Doyle is under contract, and that he will ride Rose Dawn inthe race.Upset, Doyle has no choice but to ride Rose Dawn.  However, during the race, he manages tochant his signature "Whoop-te-doo" to Six-Shooter, causing his old mount to win the race. Furious thathis horse lost, Weber goes to the judges, who rule that Doyle threw the race, pulling back on Rose Dawn,to allow Six-Shooter to win, and suspend Doyle from horse-racing.Devastated, Doyle wanders from townto town, riding in small local races, until his identity is uncovered, and he is forced to move on.  Soon, heis out of racing all together, and forced to taking one odd-job after another.  Eventually, he ends up southof the border, in Tijuana, Mexico, working as a waiter. Doyle's friend, Sleepy Jones, hears of Doyle'splight. Jones gets the racing commission to lift the ban, by proving Doyle's innocence.  He then,accompanied by Babe, gets a group to buy Six-Shooter from Pop, and they take the horse down toTijuana, where there is another big race in the near future, the Tijuana Handicap.Doyle is reluctant to rideat first, however, he is eventually cajoled into it by Sleepy and Babe, and of course, his bond withSix-Shooter is there.

There, the sect leader reminds her of their mission to support Ng Sam-kwai's, a military general, campaign for the throne before abdicating her title to Lung-er.Siu-bo lounges at the brothel where he once worked but is then attacked by disciples of the One Arm Nun, an anti-Qing revolutionary figure, before being quickly subdued. When Siu-bo tries to take advantage of them, Ng Ying-hung, Ng Sam-kwai's son, exposes his lies. Scorned and unaware of the stranger's title, Siu-bo sends his men after Ying-Hung, but Lung-er, now disguised as Ying-hung's male bodyguard, easily fends them off.At the palace, The Emperor, wary of Ng Sam-kwai's intentions, marries off the Princess to Ying-hung and assigns Siu-bo to be the Imperial Inspector General of the wedding march, so that he can keep his eyes on the general's activities. This complicates Siu-bo's relationship with Princess when she tells Siu-bo she's pregnant with his child.The One Arm Nun and her disciple, Ah Ko, later ambushes the procession. Fighting to a standstill with Lung-er, the assailants escape with Ying-hung and Siu-bo. However, Siu-bo garners some respect from her when he reveals his dual identity as a Heaven and Earth Society commander. Lung-er finally catches up to them with reinforcements at an inn but only manages to rescue Siu-bo. Having been saved by Ying-hung before, Ah Ko elopes with him amid the confusion.At the Dragon Sect camp, Ying-hung and Fung Sek-fan secretly poisons Lung-er and turn the followers against her. She escapes with Siu-bo but must have sex with a man before dawn, otherwise she will die. However, this will transfer 4/5th of her martial arts' power to whomever she sleeps with.

With her betrothed no longer able to produce heirs, the Princess is taken by Siu-bo as his fourth wife.

Given Siu-bo's muddied history with the Heaven and Earth Society, the Emperor tasks him with Chan's execution. Siu-bo's newfound power is difficult for him to control, and Chan helps him master it in time for him to use it against Fung. Siu-bo also uncovers the secret of the 42 Chapters books after burning them in frustration, revealing hidden stones that are left unburned, revealing map coordinates to the location of the treasure all major parties have been attempting to locate.In order to save his master, Siu-bo defeats Fung with his newly acquired martial arts power after both falling into a hidden cave wherein the treasure is found, and swaps Feng's body with Chan's before the execution to save his master. And just as he was about to escape with his wives and Chan, the Emperor arrives with his troops, having been sold out by Siu-bo's opportunistic friend To-lung who is now involved romantically with Siu-bo's sister. But seeing that they are friends, his sister is in love with Siu-bo, and with Siu-bo bluffing that he's strong enough to demolish the Emperor and his entire army if he wanted, the Emperor lets them go, declaring that Siu-bo has died and no longer exists as far as he's concerned. Siu-bo laughs afterward that the Emperor fell for his bluff.CastStephen Chow as Wai Siu-boBrigitte Lin as Lung-erChingmy Yau as Princess Kin-ningMichelle Reis as Ah Ko/Li Ming-koNatalis Chan as To-lungDamian Lau as Chan Kan-namDeric Wan as Hong-hei EmperorKent Tong as Ng Ying-hung, Sam-kwai's sonPaul Chun as Ng Sam-kwaiSandra Ng as Wai Chun-faFennie Yuen as Seung-yee twinVivian Chan as Seung-yee twinYen Shi-kwan as Fung Sek-fanHelen Ma as Kau-nan/one-armed Divine nunSharla Cheung as Mo Tung-chu / Empress DowagerLaw Lan as founder of Divine Dragon SectTam Suk-moi as Ah NongHoh Choi-chow as Palace guard Wen Shan LunYeung Jing-jingWan Seung-lamLee FaiCheng Ka-sangHo Wing-cheungKwan YungTo Wai-woPassage 2:Coney Island Baby (film)Coney Island Baby is a 2003 comedy-drama in which film producer Amy Hobby

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months,resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery ofAustralia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the UnitedStates after leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded DanMonroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career inIrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985)and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.Heworked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and inIreland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), andDepartment of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at theNational Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of ArtHistorians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003.In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia(NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged forseveral major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itselfand oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site.  Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, BettyChurcher, on showing "blockbuster" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained governmentsupport for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However,the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the originalarchitect on moral rights grounds.  As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure,with a significantly altered design completed some years later.  Private funding supported twoacquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud'sAfter Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring theHolmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints,screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable forcampaigning for the construction of a new "front" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace,which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the"Sensation exhibition" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial,and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being "too closeto the market" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of aspeculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which couldhave raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists worksbelonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its mostcontroversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and wasaccused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against theexhibition, claiming it was "Catholic-bashing" and an "aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion."In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art". He has said that it "was the toughest

In 1863, Inoue and four friends from the Chōshū clan stowed away on a vessel to the United Kingdom. He studied civil engineering and mining at University College London and returned to Japan in 1868. After working for the government as a technical officer supervising the mining industry, he was appointed Director of the Railway Board in 1871. Inoue played a leading role in Japan's railway planning and construction, including the construction of the Nakasendo Railway, the selection of the alternative route (Tokaido), and the proposals for future mainline railway networks.In 1891 Masaru Inoue founded Koiwai Farm with Yanosuke Iwasaki and Shin Onogi.

In 1909 he was appointed President of the Imperial Railway Association. He died of an illness in London in 1910, during an official visit on behalf of the Ministry of Railways.HonorsInoue and his friends later came to be known as the Chōshū Five.

Willkie appealed to many convention delegates as the Republican field's only interventionist: although the U.S. remained neutral prior to Pearl Harbor, he favored greater U.S. involvement in World War II to support Britain and other Allies. His Democratic opponent, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt, won the 1940 election with about 55% of the popular vote and took the electoral college vote by a wide margin.Willkie was born in Elwood, Indiana, in 1892; both his parents were lawyers, and he also became one. He served in World War I but was not sent to France until the final days of the war, and saw no action. Willkie settled in Akron, Ohio, where he was initially employed by Firestone, but left for a law firm, becoming one of the leaders of the Akron Bar Association. Much of his work was representing electric utilities, and in 1929 Willkie accepted a job in New York City as counsel for Commonwealth & Southern Corporation (C&S), a utility holding company. He was rapidly promoted, and became corporate president in 1933. Roosevelt was sworn in as U.S. president soon after Willkie became head of C&S, and announced plans for a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) that would supply power in competition with C&S. Between 1933 and 1939, Willkie fought against the TVA before Congress, in the courts, and before the public. He was ultimately unsuccessful, but sold C&S's property for a good price, and gained public esteem.A longtime Democratic activist, Willkie changed his party registration to Republican in late 1939. He did not run in the 1940 presidential primaries, but positioned himself as an acceptable choice for a deadlocked convention. He sought backing from uncommitted delegates, while his

Passage 1:Beatrice of Bourbon, Queen of BohemiaBeatrice of Bourbon (1320 – 23 December 1383) was a French noblewoman. A member of the House of Bourbon, she was by marriage Queen of Bohemia and Countess of Luxembourg.She was the youngest daughter of Louis I, Duke of Bourbon, and Mary of Avesnes.LifeMarriageOn 28 September 1330, Queen Elisabeth of Bohemia, wife of King John of Bohemia, died:"The news was that the King, distraught for the loss of his wife manifested his feelings using mourning clothes, after all, they were married for twenty years, and yet remained completely himself with a brief time, this was in Bohemia, the other side used to be mostly in their county or elsewhere, where he discussed the matter."Despite the fact that John and Elisabeth became estranged during the last years of their marriage, the king remained a widower for the next four years. The French King Philip VI wanted to tie John more closely with France, and he suggested to the Bohemian king a second marriage. The proposed bride was Beatrice, youngest daughter of the Duke of Bourbon and member of a cadet branch of the House of Capet. Beatrice was already betrothed, however, to Philip, the second son of Philip I, Prince of Taranto, as of 29 May 1321. The engagement was broken soon after the marriage negotiations with Bohemia started.The marriage of King John of Bohemia and Beatrice of Bourbon was solemnized in the Château de Vincennes in December 1334, at which time she was fourteen years old. But because the two were related in a prohibited degree (they were second cousins through their common descent from Henry V, Count of Luxembourg, and his wife Margaret of Bar), Pope Benedict XII had to give dispensation for the marriage, which was granted in Avignon on 9 January 1335 at the request of Philip VI.The marriage contract stipulated that if a son was born from the marriage, the County of Luxembourg (King John's paternal heritage), as well as lands belonging to it, would go to him. King John's sons from his first marriage, Charles and John Henry, were not informed of the contents of the marriage contract, but both princes were compelled to accept it along with the knights and citizens of Luxembourg in August 1335.Life in BohemiaBeatrice arrived in Bohemia on 2 January 1336:"...our father came to Bohemia and brought him a wife, named Beatrix, daughter of the Duke of Bourbon and relative of the King of the Frenchs..."In the Bohemian court, Beatrice took care of the wife of her oldest stepson Charles, Blanche of Valois. Both women could easily communicate in French. The Queen soon felt ill-at-ease in Prague, where she was always compared unfavorably with the Margravine of Moravia (Blanche's title as wife of the Bohemian heir). Also, the Czech people were offended by her coldness, insolence and aversion to learning their language.The new Queen of Bohemia and Countess of Luxembourg brought with her an annual income of 4,000 livres extracted from her father's County of Clermont. On 25 February 1337, Beatrice gave birth in Prague to her only child, a son named Wenceslaus after the holy patron of the Přemyslid dynasty; probably calling her son with this name either the queen or her husband tried to gain the favor of the Bohemians. There is some indirect evidence that this was the first caesarean section that was survived by both the mother and child. However, the relationship between Beatrice and her new subjects remained estranged: her coronation as Queen of Bohemia in St. Vitus Cathedral three months later, on 18 May, was an event of spectacular indifference  from the citizens of Prague.Shortly after her coronation, in June 1337, Beatrice left Bohemia leaving her son behind, and went to live in Luxembourg. After this, she rarely visited the Bohemian Kingdom.Later YearsOn 26 August 1346 King John was killed in the Battle of Crécy and Beatrice ceased to be queen consort. Her stepson, now King Charles of Bohemia, confirmed the provisions of her marriage contract. Beatrice, now Dowager Queen of Bohemia, received in perpetuity lands in the County of Hainaut, the rent of 4,000 livres and the towns of Arlon, Marville and Damvillers (where she settled her residence) as her widow's estate. These revenues were used not only for their own needs, but also for the education of her son. King Charles also left her all the movable property and income from the mines in Kutná Hora. In addition, when her father Duke Louis I of Bourbon died in 1342, she received the sum of 1,000 livres, which was secured from the town of Creil.Around 1347, Beatrice married for a second time to Eudes II, Lord of Grancey, (then a widower) at her state of Damvillers. Despite her new marriage, she retained the title of Queen of Bohemia. The couple had no children. Soon after her second marriage, she arranged the betrothal of her son Wenceslaus with the widowed Joanna, Duchess of Brabant, daughter and

Passage 1:Worskla ForestThe Worskla Forest (на Ворскле) is in the Belgorod Oblast of Russia. It is partof the (Sapowednik) Belogorye Nature Reserve.It lies on the high right side of the Worskla river, betweenthe Worskla and the Gotnja rivers. It covers an area of 1,038 hectares (2,560 acres). Geographically thearea belongs to the southern part of the forest-steppe zone. The nature reserve is bordered to thenorth-west by the village of Krasny Kutok, to the southeast by Borisovka, and in the north and the southand west by the Worsklatal. On the left bank of the Vorskla, is the village of Dubino (LandsgemeindeBelenkoje). The territory of the forest itself is part of the rural community Kryukovo.GeographyThewestern, northwestern and southern edges form the river terraces and slopes of Woskla and LoknjatalRivers. The highest point in the forest at 217 metres (712 ft) is located in the northeastern part of theforest. The lowest point (137 metres (449 ft)) is located in Worsklatal. Through the forest run numeroussmall gullies that are called in this region "Jar".In the forest there are no springs and watercoursesalthough the forest is quite wet at the beginning of spring, after the snow melts, flowing rivulets at thebottom of canyons. The rivers Vorskla, Gotnja and Loknja flow along the forest edge for a distance of 10to 900 metres (33 to 2,953 ft).On the territory of the forest there is no natural pond. Only in theprotection zone of the nature reserve, in the Worsklatalaue, there are small backwaters. In the 20thcentury, ponds were built in the Klosterrunse whose dams broke through snow meltwater. Only a pondremained at the top of the gully.SoilsThe soils of the forest at the Vorskla developed on different parentmaterials, especially on the loam, which is found in the eastern half of the forest. In the northwesternpart of the forest, old alluvium sands play a role. They are distributed on the river terraces of Gotnja andLoknja. At the southern and south-eastern edge of the forest an oligozänischer sandy loam is commonparent rock. In some places in the southern part of the forest, a rust-colored clay comes out. Theoligozänische sandy loam and the rust-colored clay are the starting materials of soil formation, whereerosion has removed the loess. Under the oligozänischen clay are rocks from the Cretaceous, which donot appear on the surface in the territory of the forest.Here 20 different soil types are distinguished. Theydiffer on the degree of podsolisation and the humus content. All floors of the Forest on the Vorskla arebased on the Russian soil classification from 1977 about the types of gray forest soils.  According to theUSDA soil classification they belong to the Alfi sols, after the German soil classification if they wereclassified as Luvisols.HistoryUntil the 17th century, the Worskla forest was a part of an undivided oakforest that stretched along the high right bank of the Vorskla River. Forest was used as a natural barrieragainst depredations of the Tartars. Therefore, logging of the woods was strictly forbidden.
