Jozef van Wissem
Jozef van Wissem (born 22nov 1962) is a Dutch minimalist composer and lute player based in Brooklyn. In 2013 van Wissem won the Cannes Soundtrack Award for the score of "Only Lovers Left Alive" at the Cannes Film Festival.
# Career.
Jozef van Wissem was born in Maastricht. An incessantly touring musician, van Wissem studied lute in New York with Patrick O'Brien in 1990s.
Jozef van Wissem's solo albums, "It Is All That Is Made" (2009) and "Ex Patris" (2010), were both released on Important Records. He released "The Joy That Never Ends", an album with Jim Jarmusch on the label in 2011. He also wrote a score for the video game "The Sims Medieval".
"Concerning the Entrance into | 6,122,802 |
6867523 | Jozef van Wissem | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jozef%20van%20Wissem | Jozef van Wissem
Eternity", his first collaborative album with Jim Jarmusch, was released on Important Records in early 2012. "The Mystery of Heaven", his second collaborative album with Jarmusch, was released on Sacred Bones Records later that year. "The More She Burns the More Beautifully She Glows", a track off the album, featured a guest appearance from Tilda Swinton. Van Wissem scored Jarmusch's 2013 film "Only Lovers Left Alive" .
When Shall This Bright Day Begin, featuring guest vocals by Zola Jesus, was released by Consouling Sounds in 2016. The same label released Nobody Living Can Ever Make Me Turn Back in 2017. Van Wissem reactivated Incunabulum for his 2017 release New Lute Music for Film. His third | 6,122,803 |
6867523 | Jozef van Wissem | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jozef%20van%20Wissem | Jozef van Wissem
Consouling Sounds release, We Adore You, You Have No Name, followed in 2018. In 2019, Van Wissem and Jarmusch returned to Sacred Bones with the full-length An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil.
# Style and influences.
According to NPR's "All Songs Considered", "his compositions are heavy and set in hypnotic darkness". When Van Wissem " started to think about new compositions for lute he made the decision to perform the classical lute repertoire backwards. From this mirror image writing followed the idea to compose in layered palindromes only and repeat them over elongated periods of time. The challenges are the minimalist idea of using only a few chords, one or two tunings, one instrument and | 6,122,804 |
6867523 | Jozef van Wissem | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jozef%20van%20Wissem | Jozef van Wissem
then to be interesting within these limits and constraints. And to come up with a simple melody"
In December 2017, Van Wissem was commissioned by the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg to perform the piece "You Know That I Love You' depicted by Caravaggio in his painting The Lute Player (1596) for the event for the final restoration of the painting. Confronted with the sound system, acoustics of the museum, and the number of people in the hall, Van Wissem decided to do a more fluent drone version instead of the classical version"

6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
South Indians in Fiji
The South Indians in Fiji are mainly descendants of the 15,132 slave labourers who were brought to Fiji between 1903 and 1916. This represents about 25% out of a total of 60,965 slave labourers who were brought to Fiji between 1879 and 1916. They were forced in to ships from Madras and were mainly captured in the districts of North Arcot, Madras, Krishna, Godavari, Visakhapatnam, Tanjore, Malabar and Coimbatore. More than half of the slave labourers from South India were captured from North Arcot and Madras, but most of those captured in Madras were originally from North Arcot and Chingleput.
# South Indian Languages.
The language spoken by the South Indian slaves was | 6,122,810 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
only included in the emigration passes issued in 1903. Of the 589 slaves from South India in 1903, the number of people speaking each language is shown below.
In later years more Telugu than Tamil speakers came from South India, as can be seen from subsequent census figures. According to the 1956 census, the number of households speaking each language was as follows:
Although by 1956 Hindustani (Fiji Hindi) was being used in most Fiji households, the numbers still using South Indian languages indicate that there were twice as many Teluguas Tamils, and Malayalam was the third most common South Indian language. From 1929 to 1963, the ability to read and write in Tamil or Telugu was accepted | 6,122,811 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
as literacy qualification to be a voter for elections to the Legislative Council.
In 2005, it was revealed that in the 20 primary schools managed by TISI, out of the 4940 students, 1765 took Tamil classes and there were only 489 learning Telugu.
# Religious Background of South Indians.
The South Indian immigrants were made up of a smaller proportion of Muslims (1,091 Muslims out of 15,132) and greater proportion of Christians than their North Indian counterparts. The Hindus, who form the majority, belonged to over a hundred different castes.
# Life during Indenture.
Although South Indians were used to working overseas, most found it difficult to adjust to the Fiji Indian society already | 6,122,812 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
established in Fiji. Language was a major problem as they had to learn Hindustani, the language of the plantation. During indenture, there was a high suicide rate amongst South Indians.
# Revival of South Indian Culture.
At the end of his indenture period Kuppuswami Naidu, an ex-policeman and indentured labourer, took up the cause of the South Indians in Fiji. He gave up worldly pleasures, taking up the life of a "sadhu" (holy man). He was a devotee of Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maha Rishi, Ramalinga Swamigal and Rama Krishna Paramahamsa. He later became known amongst his colleagues and South Indians in particular, as Sadhu Swami. He conceived the idea of a South Indian Organisation and worked, | 6,122,813 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
towards this goal with the help of other South Indians who could understand his feelings and were prepared to provide assistance towards the cause. According to the data published by TISI in 2002, Tamil was learnt by 1738 students in 17 schools between the grade 1-8 and Telugu by 255 students in 3 schools.
# Birth of Sangam.
Sadhu Kuppuswami founded the "Then India Sanmarga Ikya Sangam" (TISI Sangam) after travelling to all parts of Fiji where South Indians were settled, and inspiring them to congregate at the Nadi Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple on Swami Vivekananda's Birthday on 12 January in 1926, where they gave birth to the organisation which is today known as "Sangam". Sadhu Swami | 6,122,814 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
was elected the first President of Sangam and he remained its President for his lifetime..
On 26 December 1927, the Madras Maha Sangam, was formed in Suva by Verrappa Muthiah Pillai in Suva and branches were soon established in Levuka and Labasa. In 1937 the Madras Maha Sangam merged with the TISI Sangam.
# Maunatul Islam Association of Fiji (MIAF).
Maunatul Islam Association of Fiji (MIAF) represents approximately 30% of the Sunni Muslims in Fiji who are mostly followers of Imam Shafi. The followers of Imam Shafi in Fiji are the descendants of Muslims of Malayalam origin who came to Fiji under the indenture system from Kerala (Malabar) in South India between 1903 and 1916. The organisation | 6,122,815 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
originally operated under the name of Then India Maunatul Islam Association of Fiji since it was officially formed in 1942. The original officials were; President: Late Shahbud Dean, Vice President: Late Hajji Moidin Koya, Secretary: Mohammed Shafique, Treasurer: Late Hon A. R. Manu. One of the most famous past President and Speaker of the Association was the late Hon S.M. Koya, who was the leader of the National Federation Party and Leader of Opposition in Fiji for a number of years. The name of the Association was changed in 1982 to Maunatul Islam Association when a new constitution was drawn.
# Swami Avinashananda.
The early years the Sangam had its share of problems but the arrival, on | 6,122,816 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
21 May 1937, of Swami Avinashananda from the Ramakrishna Mission of India, on the invitation of Sadhu Swami, saw the beginning of the golden years of Sangam. Although he spent just a brief period of eleven months in Fiji, Swami Avinashananda was able to consolidate the structure of Sangam and lay down the principles on which it was to function in later years. Swami Avinashananda had the Sangam legally registered as an organisation under the Company's act and A. D. Patel became its general manager. Thus legalised, Sangam and its community set forth in earnest to develop schools and temples to foster South Indian languages, culture and religion in all parts of Fiji. At present Sangam controls | 6,122,817 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
21 Primary and 5 Secondary Colleges with innumerable Temples and Kindergartens spread throughout the country.
# Swami Rudrananda.
Swami Avivashananda was replaced by Swami Rudrananda in 1939. He was soon followed by Rama Krishnan, a Tamil teacher, and Ganeshwar Rao, a Telugu teacher to teach South Indian mother tongues in the Sangam Schools, and to uplift the general standard of Sangam. Rama Krishnan was the first ever graduate teacher to be posted to Nadi Sangam School as its Head Teacher and Ganeshwar Rao worked with him as his assistant. As a dedicated teacher the late Rama Krishnan formed the Youth Wing known as the "Then India Valibar Sangam" (TIV Sangam) and introduced the Inter-District | 6,122,818 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
Competition in Soccer, athletics, and introduced Music and Art to encourage the development of South Indian language and culture.
Swami Rudrananda consolidated and expanded the activities of T.I.S.I. Sangam based at Sangam Ashram in Nadi. He acquired properties for Sangam. These included freehold land at Savusavu (130 acres) and Madhuvani, Rakiraki (1037 acres). The Sangam Sarada Printing Press was started, on 15 August 1948, to cope with the educational needs of the community at large. Publications like "Sangam" in Tamil, "Pacific Review" in English, "Jagriti" in Hindi, and "Na Pacifica" in Fijian were published and circulated to give vent to the voice of the Indian community as a whole.
Swami | 6,122,819 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
Rudrananda was fondly called as "SarkkariSami" by people as he was majorly working for the betterment of sugar cane workers.
# Women's Wing.
A Women's Wing was also formed in 1938 as the "Then India Sanmarga Maathar Sangam" which launched the very simple and humble charitable task of "Pidi Arisi", (A handful of rice) which every South Indian householder was required to set aside each day for charity before commencing their household cooking. This noble concept was introduced by Swami Avinashananda as one of the projects to assist in running a hostel for children of poor parents and others living far away from Nadi to gain education at Nadi Sangam School which was the first and the largest | 6,122,820 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
Sangam School for that time.
# Andhra Sangam.
The TISI Sangam was dominated by the more numerous Telugus and concern by the minority Tamils about the promotion of their language led to the formation of their own Sangam. Under the leadership of Veeranna, the "Dakshina India Andhra Sangam" of Fiji was formed on 20 April 1941 at the Gallau Temple in Ra.
# Shri Vivekananda High School (Now Swami Vivekananda College).
The Sangam, continued its pursuit to provide higher education to its pupils by becoming the first non-Government Organisation to start a private Secondary School, the Shri Vivekananda High School, on 9 March 1949. Shri Vivekananda High School began in a very humble way in the T.I.V. | 6,122,821 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
Sangam's Gymnasium Hall, in the Nadi Sangam Primary School compound, with 25 students, headed by Mr.K.S.Reddy as Principal and Messers Gopal Swami Naidu and Krishna Narsingha Rao as the two assistants. Students from all parts of Fiji, even as far away as Vanua Levu, came to attend the school. As this school grew in strength, it had to shift to the premises of Lora Murugan. It was here that Shri Vivekananda High School developed and later moved to its present site in Malolo and is now managed by the Ramakrishna Mission.
Sangam, Schools and Temples sprang up in different villages and settlements. The Colonial Sugar Refining Company assisted the Sangam by providing land to build schools and temples | 6,122,822 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
and having its Field Officers acting as school managers. Mother tongue was given priority over other subjects in the schools, and the South Indian languages and culture flourished throughout the country for several decades till the Sangam celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1951.
With the advent of changes in the education system and introduction of new examinations in the Primary Schools, emphasis gradually shifted from vernacular and creative subjects to mere academic pursuit. Preparing students for examination became the hallmark for the teachers, and keen competition developed as to which school got the largest number of passes became the theme for parents, management and teachers alike. This | 6,122,823 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
shift in trend became the cause of the gradual decline of the South Indian languages as they were not examination subjects.
# Ramalingar Mission.
Concern with the decline of South Indian culture and tradition led to the formation of "Fiji Sutha Sanmarga Sangam", a branch of Ramalinagar Sangam in Suva on 14 April 1966, under the leadership of Appa Pillai. He conducted a monthly South Indian program on Radio Fiji and travelled around the country teaching Tamil language and culture and distributing Tamil Readers sourced from India.
# Sangam Rejuvenated.
With the revival of the Annual Convention, Sangam members from all parts flocked to Lovu during the Easter Holidays of 1976 to rejuvenate the | 6,122,824 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
Sangam and later in the same year celebrated its Golden Jubilee from 8th to 10 October 1976 at Nadi. Once again the organisation was streamlined and the management commenced functioning smoothly under the new administration. The next decade from 1976 -1986 saw gradual improvement in the management and organisation of Sangam assets and properties, and attention was once again drawn towards the revival of the South Indian Languages, religion and culture. The revival of Sangam activities together with the arrival of Shivacharya Mahalinga Gurukkal whose services were made available to Nadi Siva Subramaniya Swamy Temple in 1984 by the Government of Tamil Nadu as the Chief Priest boosted the activities | 6,122,825 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
at the Temple, and devotees flocked to the Temple in very large numbers to witness and participate in the many new and unique religious ceremonies conducted at the Temple for the first time.
# Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple.
It was realised that a new and bigger National Temple was needed, and a move for acquiring a new site began in earnest. The foundation for a new temple had been laid at the old site in 1976 during the Golden Jubilee Celebrations by His Excellency the High Commissioner for the Government of India in Fiji. In 1983 new lease was acquired for the Crown land and the reconstruction programme began with the "Bhoomi Pooja" in January 1984, followed by the inauguration of building | 6,122,826 |
6867521 | South Indians in Fiji | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Indians%20in%20Fiji | South Indians in Fiji
work by the late Deputy Prime Minister, in April 1984. The construction work moved another step forward in 1986 when the work of pile driving was completed under the chairmanship of Hon. Jai Ram Reddy. The actual Construction work began in earnest after a lull of some five years under a new Reconstruction Committee led by Narayan Reddy as the Chairman. The temple was built in the best traditions of ancient Dravidian Indian Temple architecture as well as the principles of sacred architecture of the Vastu Vedic tradition. The consecration ceremonies of their new national temple were held on July 15, 1994.

Stéphane Pompougnac
Stéphane Pompougnac (born 1968) is a French house DJ and record producer.
# Biography.
Pompougnac was born in Paris in 1968 to a psychotherapist and a dental surgeon. He spent his early life in Bordeaux.
His first job was as a waiter at the courtyard café of Hôtel Costes in Paris' Les Halles district, but his DJ debut occurred when he was 18, at such Bordeaux discothèques as Ubu, The Colony, and The Dream.
After finishing his studies and national service, Pompougnac spent six months in London before returning to Paris in 1992. In Paris he mixed at such discothèques as Queen, Folies Pigalle, The Locomotive, Diable des Lombards, and Privilège. One year later, he became | 6,122,837 |
6867545 | Stéphane Pompougnac | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stéphane%20Pompougnac | Stéphane Pompougnac
the resident DJ at Les Bains et Douche, where he met Claude Challe. Reportedly, in 1997 Albert de Paname introduced Pompougnac to Jean-Louis Costes, co-owner of Hôtel Costes, where Pompougnac had worked as a waiter some ten years prior. This time, Costes hired Pompougnac to be the hotel's resident DJ. In 1999, Pompougnac published his first studio mix, "Costes: France et Choiseul".
Pompougnac's second studio mix, "Costes: La Suite" outsold his previous release. After the mix's third track, "Sympatique" by Pink Martini, was used for an auto advertisement in France, "Costes: La Suite" sold more than 100,000 copies. Although Pompougnac published first two albums in France via Barclay Universal, | 6,122,838 |
6867545 | Stéphane Pompougnac | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stéphane%20Pompougnac | Stéphane Pompougnac
his mounting success led to a contract with MSI, who published his third studio mix, "Etage 3" (October 2000). His first three mixes collectively sold nearly half a million copies. Additionally, a number of tracks from his mixes, including one of his own compositions, "Morenito", can be found on the soundtrack of the auto racing video game Gran Turismo Sport.
Pompougnac has published more than 20 studio mixes, and also DJs for the fashion award show Les Venues de la Mode. He has also performed for fashion shows by Gucci and Yves Saint-Laurent.

Linea semilunaris
The linea semilunaris (also semilunar line or Spigelian line) is a curved tendinous intersection found on either side of the rectus abdominis muscle.
Each corresponds with the lateral border of the rectus abdominis, extends from the cartilage of the ninth rib to the pubic tubercle, and is formed by the aponeurosis of the internal oblique at its line of division to enclose the rectus, reinforced anteriorly by the external oblique and posteriorly by the transversus abdominis above the arcuate line (also known as "linea semicircularis" or "Douglas' line").
A hernia through the linea semilunaris is called a Spigelian hernia, which is also referred to as a spontaneous lateral | 6,122,843 |

6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
Psyché (opera)
Psyché is an opera ("tragédie lyrique") in a prologue and five acts composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully to a libretto by Thomas Corneille (adapted from Molière's original play for which Lully had composed the intermèdes). Based on the love story of Cupid and Psyche, "Psyché" was premiered on April 19, 1678 by the Académie Royale de Musique at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris.
# Background.
According to the "Mercure Galant", the opera "Psyché" was composed in three weeks; libretto, score and all. Although it is impossible to verify the truth of this statement, there is every reason to believe that Lully was in a hurry when writing this opera. In effect, the opera reuses the "intermèdes" | 6,122,846 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
from Molière's play. Since these "intermèdes" had met with such spectacular success seven years earlier, Lully must have felt that given his lack of time, he could at the very least attract a crowd with the promise of reviving the "plainte italienne" and the final "divertissement". All that was required was a synthesis of Molière's play that could coherently string together the already-existing "intermèdes". Such a text would have to be one third the length of Molière's, that is to say 600 rather than 1800 lines long, and would have to be composed in varied rimes and rhythms rather than the alexandrines in riming couplets used in spoken declamation. Unfortunately, Lully's usual librettist, Philippe | 6,122,847 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
Quinault, was in disgrace at court over his previous opera "Isis" and the task fell to Thomas Corneille, very likely at the bidding of the same cabal that had sought to disgrace Quinault. Whether by choice or out of necessity, Corneille's text is not a synthesis of Molière's, but rather a profoundly different plot for a profoundly different genre.
It is believed that Fontenelle, Thomas Corneille's nephew, collaborated on the text. It is impossible to know whether or not this is true or, if true, to what extent Fontenelle participated. All anecdotes speaking of "Psyché" state that Thomas Corneille is the author without mentioning Fontenelle. The latter, however, placed the libretto among his | 6,122,848 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
complete works, without the slightest mention of the participation of his uncle. Conversely, none of Thomas Corneille's three opera librettos appear in any of the editions of his works or theatre. It is now impossible to know if or how Fontenelle participated in the writing of "Psyché", but in view of all of the accounts of "Psyché"'s creation it seems improbable that he should be sole author of the work.

# Synopsis.
The prologues to the two works are identical up until the arrival of Venus. In Corneille's text, Venus banishes the followers of Flora who | 6,122,850 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
had summoned her and calls her son Cupid to punish Psyche, whom mortals revere as a second Venus.
In the first act, Psyche's sisters learn with the spectators that Psyche must be sacrificed to a dragon that has been ravaging the kingdom. The "plainte italienne" from Molière's play is sung to represent the mourning of the people. The sisters flee at Psyche's arrival and it is her father who informs her of the oracle that has pronounced her doom. Psyche unhesitatingly climbs the rock to offer herself in sacrifice, much to her father's consternation, and is carried away by Zephyrs.
Act two opens with Vulcan and a group of cyclops who are building a palace for Psyche at Cupid's bidding. Just before | 6,122,851 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
Vulcan can complete the palace, he is surprised by his wife Venus who discovers that her son has betrayed her. She quarrels with her husband and vows revenge against her son. Psyche awakes and is courted by Cupid. The act ends in a happy love scene, but Cupid must hide his identity and begins a "divertissement" sung by three nymphs to divert Psyche's attention.
In act three, Venus disguises herself as a Nymph and gives Psyche a lamp with which to discover the identity of her lover. Psyche is overjoyed to discover that her lover is Cupid himself, but the light of the lamp awakes the god who flees. At the same time, the palace disappears and Psyche is left in a desolate wilderness. Venus exposes | 6,122,852 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
her treachery to Psyche and further accuses her of trying to marry her way into immortality. She forces her to descend to hell and recover a box wherein Proserpine keeps her beauty. Psyche, in despair, attempts to drown herself, but is saved by the River God who peacefully accompanies her to the underworld.
In act four, Psyche resists the torture of the three furies in order to meet the Nymphs of the Acheron. These nymphs banish the furies, give Psyche the box she is looking for and conduct her to Venus's garden where act five is set.
In act five, Psyche opens the box, hoping to restore any beauty she might have lost during her recent hardships. But instead of beauty, the box exudes a poisonous | 6,122,853 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
vapour that kills Psyche. Venus appears to rejoice and brings Psyche back to life in order to gloat and torture her further. She is amazed to see that Psyche is still in love with her son despite so many hardships. But she is resolved to continue punishing her. Mercury descends and begs her to stop, recounting the chaos and suffering in the universe that has been produced by Cupid's displeasure. Venus takes no heed and Jupiter descends himself to calm the goddess and pronounce Psyche immortal. The lovers are united and the opera ends with a magnificent ballet, identical to the one closing the 1671 version.
# Reception.
Accounts of the success of the opera vary greatly. The "Mercure Galant" | 6,122,854 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
states that the opera was extremely well received; that audiences were enthralled by Lully's music as always and that they would never have guessed that Corneille had composed the libretto in so little time as three weeks. On the other hand, the Frères Parfraict in their "Histoire de l'académie royale de musique" claim that the opera is "irremediably cold" and that "the diabolical character of Venus ruins what little galantry there is to be found" in it. These reports are both equally difficult to believe when one considers, on the one hand, that Thomas Corneille was one of the chief editors of the "Mercure Galant" and, on the other hand, in what contempt the Parfaict brothers held all authors | 6,122,855 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
of the 17th century other than Pierre Corneille, Molière, Jean Racine and, for opera, Philippe Quinault. Might they have felt obligated to condemn Thomas Corneille's libretto out of fidelity to his brother, Molière and most of all Quinault whose place Thomas Corneille may have thought he was usurping indefinitely? The Parfaict brothers' attitude seems to have remained the dominant one since the 18th century. Robert Fajon, in his "Opéra à Paris du Roi Soleil à Louis le Bien-Aimé", even goes so far as to accuse Thomas Corneille of being responsible for Lully's only operatic failure. Concretely, however, none of Lully's operas were a failure. Their success continued to daunt operatic composers | 6,122,856 |
6867553 | Psyché (opera) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psyché%20(opera) | Psyché (opera)
well into the 18th century. It is true that "Psyché", unlike many of Lully's operas, was not created at court and was only revived twice (once in 1703 and again in 1713). "Thésée", by comparison was revived ten times and remained in the repertoire of the Académie royale de musique until 1744.

Achille et Polyxène
Achille et Polyxène ("Achilles and Polyxena") is a tragédie lyrique containing a prologue and five acts based on Virgil's "Aeneid" with a French libretto by Jean Galbert de Campistron. The opera's overture and first act were composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully, who died from a conducting injury before he could complete the score. The prologue and the remaining acts are the work of his pupil Pascal Collasse who finished the work, eight months after Lully's death on March 22, 1687. The opera was first performed on November 7, 1687, by the Paris Opera at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris.
# Analysis of the libretto and music.
The libretto for this opera differs from those of | 6,122,860 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
Lully's earlier works with Philippe Quinault. Typically, Lully would begin his operas with a lively prologue, but this work has a somber prologue in which the Muses lament the king's desire for military expansion. Another difference is the tragic and somber ending of this opera in Act V. Lully usually ended his operas with a rousing ensemble number but this opera closes with the suicide of the heroine. The end of Act IV, the wedding scene, does contain a vibrant ensemble number at its close which would be more in keeping with a typical finale of one of Lully's operas.
# Plot.
The Prologue is set in "A place once designed for spectacle, now only a shell of its former self." Mercure, messenger | 6,122,861 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
of the Gods, questions the Muses to find out why their spirits are downcast. Melpomene replies that the king (i.e. Louis XIV), in his desire for conquest, has plunged the country into war and ignored the Muses and their feasts. The other Muses agree and add: "he does not approve of anything we do; we are not worthy in his eyes." Mercure interrupts and insists that they put aside worry and concentrate on the charming spectacle to be performed before them. The scene is transformed, "as though its former glory had been restored." The Muses agree to pay careful attention to the forthcoming play and to try especially hard to enjoy it despite their misgivings. Jupiter descends and urges their particular | 6,122,862 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
contemplation of the Greek hero, Achille. The Muses agree and await the tale of the invincible Achille and his famous battles.
Act I opens on the Isle of Tenedos, Achille's refuge after a quarrel with Agamemnon. Patrocle asks Achille if Hector's bravery in past battles has made him jealous. Achille responds that only the losses sustained by the Greeks give him pleasure: Agamemnon, king of the Greeks, is the focus of his rage. In a rousing aria ("Je cours asseurer ma memoire"), Patrocle declares that he will defeat Hector. Achille, though concerned for his friend's safety, agrees, saying, "if your heart is strong, so too will be your arms." After Patrocle exits, Achille, left alone, entreats | 6,122,863 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
the gods to protect his friend in a moving soliloquy. Diomede approaches and announces that without Achille's help, the Greeks will not overcome the Trojans. Achille insists that he is happy here, out of contact with the quarrelsome Greeks. Diomede chastises the hero, suggesting that his bravery is shallow and that he loves vain pleasure. Venus and the Graces, descending from the heavens, remind Achille of the pleasure he experienced with them when he was not in battle. The act concludes as Arcas rushes in to announce that Patrocle is dead. Achille swears vengeance on Hector in an impassioned aria ("Manes de ce Guerrier, dont je pleure le sort").
Act II takes place in a Greek camp on the eve | 6,122,864 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
of battle with the Trojans. Diomede is certain that, with Achille's help, the Greeks under Agamemnon will be victorious. Agamemnon remains uncertain and, seeing the advancing Achille, decides to move back. A chorus of soldiers sing the praises of the victorious Achille. Arcas assures the Trojan prisoners that Achille is not without compassion--hope should replace their fears. King Priam of Troy, his daughter Polixene and his daughter-in-law Andromaque conspire to soften Achille's heart. Each appeals to Achille with stories of their losses suffered in the war with Greece. But it is the beautiful Polixene who breaks Achille's heart with her moving aria, "Vous le sçavez, Dieux que j'atteste!" The | 6,122,865 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
great warrior pledges eternal peace with the Greeks.
The Act III curtain rises on Achille's camp. Achille confesses his love for Polixene to Arcas, who reminds the hero that his original intent was to avenge their dead friend Patrocle. Achille counters that it is only Hector who deserves his wrath; the rest of the Trojans are not to blame. Agamemnon enters and also questions Achille's allegiance. Achille reminds him that it is for Patrocle, not the Greeks, that he engaged the Trojans. Agamemnon, realizing that Achille has fallen in love with the enemy princess, introduces the great hero to Briseis, a Greek princess whom he hopes will win Achille back to the side of the Greeks. Briseis confides | 6,122,866 |

to Achille the story of her capture and the loss of all she loved. Achille, as gallantly as possible, explains that he cannot love her. Furious, Briseis calls on the goddess Juno to avenge her broken heart. Juno accepts and promises that before the day is over, Briseis will see the result of her request. The act concludes with a chorus of shepherds offering thanks for the peace established by the "generous conqueror."
Priam's Palace provides the setting for Act IV. Polixene, alone and confused, questions the wisdom of marrying Achille, so recently the enemy of her people. She resigns herself to the inevitable, however, and awaits the ceremony. Andromaque, recognizing Polixene's despair, tries | 6,122,867 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
to comfort the bride-to-be, swearing "I will make my fidelity [to you] as famous as his [Achille's] glory." Priam enters and calls for his subjects to begin the wedding celebrations. Choirs of Trojans sing the praises of the beautiful princess and the heroic conqueror.
Act V takes place in Apollo's temple. As the Act opens, Achille asks his new bride why she turns away from him when he approaches. She replies, "the more I see you, the more I am troubled." Priam enters before the troops of Greeks and Trojans and commands that everyone, for the sake of peace, should surrender himself to love. He charges the lovers to swear an oath of tender and devoted love. Briseis is beside herself with anger | 6,122,868 |
6867588 | Achille et Polyxène | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achille%20et%20Polyxène | Achille et Polyxène
when she witnesses the marriage of Achille and Polixene. She demands to know why Juno has not exacted revenge. The chorus of Greeks warn Achille to flee a certain death. He is struck down and Arcas rushes to his side, blaming the Trojan Paris for the treasonous act. Briseis allies herself with Polixene and swears that she will lead the forces to avenge Achille's death. Polixene sends everyone away, and, in "C'en est fait," a grief-stricken soliloquy, declares that she is unable to live without her husband. The opera ends with her suicide.

Union Nationale des Étudiants de France
The National Union of Students of France ("Union nationale des étudiants de France" or UNEF) is the main national students' union in France.
It works to represent the interest of students for national and local governments, political parties, the government bodies concerned with higher education and their administration of the universities. The organisation is also active on the international arena, particularly within the European Students' Union (ESU).
# History.
1907: UNEF foundation by the merging of many AGEs ("Associations Générales d'Étudiants", Students' General Associations) from different towns at a meeting held in Lille
1946: Adoption of | 6,122,871 |
6867552 | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Union%20Nationale%20des%20Étudiants%20de%20France | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France
the Charter of Grenoble which define the student as a "young intellectual worker". Since then, the UNEF has considered itself to be a part of the labour movement. The creation in France of the students' social security and welfare systems are the result of UNEF activism
1950s: The UNEF led the protest for independence of Algeria
1968: May 68 revolt. On 27 May the meeting of the UNEF, most outstanding of the events of May 68, proceeds and gathers 30.000 to 50.000 people in the Stade Sebastien Charlety.
1971 to 2001: The UNEF was split between UNEF-SE ("Solidarité Étudiante", Students' solidarity) (linked to the French Communist Party) and UNEF-US ("Unité Syndicale", Union Unity), which later | 6,122,872 |
6867552 | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Union%20Nationale%20des%20Étudiants%20de%20France | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France
evolved into UNEF-ID ("Indépendante et Démocratique", Independence and democracy) (linked to the Internationalist Communist Organisation and close to the Socialist Party).
1986: The UNEFs led a victorious strike against student fees and selection at college admission
1995: Major protests against a government project of minimum wage for youth lower than for other salaries
2001: The UNEFs eventually reunified under the name 'UNEF'.
2001: Yassir Fichtali elected new chairman
2005: Bruno Julliard elected new chairman
2006: The UNEF played a major role in students' contestation of the prime minister Dominique de Villepin's Contrat première embauche.
2007: Jean-Baptiste Prévost elected new | 6,122,873 |

chairman
2011: Emmanuel Zemmour elected new chairman
2014: William Martinet elected new chairman
2016: Lilâ Le Bas elected new chairman
# Democracy.
Today, the UNEF is still composed of the different AGEs. There is one AGE in each town where a university is located, except in Paris, where there is an AGE by university. Membership is individual: every student can choose to join the AGE of his/her home town.
The UNEF holds a national conference every two years. National conference is the sovereign body of the UNEF and decide the UNEF policy.
Conferences are contested by factions:
- Majorité Nationale ("National Majority"): 80% of the votes in 2007
- Tendance pour une UNEF Unitaire et | 6,122,874 |
6867552 | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Union%20Nationale%20des%20Étudiants%20de%20France | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France
Démocratique ("For a unitarian and democratic UNEF"): 13%
- Tendance Refondation Syndicale ("Union's refoundation"): 7%
The conference also elects an administrative commission ("Commission Administrative") to be the UNEF 'parliament' between conferences. The commission elects the National Board, the executive body.
# Creation.
The UNEF has created many national federations:
- CECED ("Comité Étudiant Contre l'Extrême Droite", Students' Committee against Far Right)
- FERUF ("Fédération des Étudiants en Résidences Universitaires de France", Resident Students Federation)
- UCEF ("Union des Coopératives Étudiantes de France", Union of Students' Cooperatives)
- FENEC ("Fédération Nationale | 6,122,875 |
6867552 | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Union%20Nationale%20des%20Étudiants%20de%20France | Union Nationale des Étudiants de France
des Étudiants Chercheurs")
The UNEF has also participated in the creation of different bodies related to students:
- MNEF, then replaced by LMDE in 2000 ("La Mutuelle Des Etudiants") which operates the students' social security system
- ESIB in 1981, named ESU in 2007 (European Students Union)
# Sexual violence.
In the international background of allegations against Harvey Weinstein by "The New York Times" and "The New Yorker", the French daily newspaper "Le Monde" published in November 2017 two detailed articles on alleged sexual harassment and predation supported by former UNEF presidents, Jean-Baptiste Prévost and Emmanuel Zemmour. In an editorial, more than 80 UNEF female members and | 6,122,876 |

d sexual harassment and predation supported by former UNEF presidents, Jean-Baptiste Prévost and Emmanuel Zemmour. In an editorial, more than 80 UNEF female members and militants have come forward to accuse the Union of "sexual violence". In December 2017, the president of the UNEF chapter in Nice, Paul Morançay resigned for covering up rape claims. Most members of the chapter have since resigned.
In spite of multiple "pressions", the daily newspaper "Libération" published in February 2018 a long article with sixteen testimonies of female activists who have suffered from rape, sexual harassment and abuse within the organisation.

Diva (car manufacturer)
Diva was a British manufacturer of sports cars from 1961 to 1966. It was a subsidiary of the Tunex Conversions Co set up by Don Sim in Camberwell, London, but in 1966 Diva Cars Limited became its registered name. In 1967, after car production ceased, the name changed again to Skodek Engineering.
The first Diva was intended to demonstrate Tunex's technology and had a body built by Heron Plastics and was a development of their 750 model. The car was raced successfully and another was built with larger windscreen and called the B-Type. Demand grew from enthusiasts for more of them so a "production" version of the GT was developed.
The 1963 Diva GT or C-Type had a fibreglass | 6,122,879 |
6867668 | Diva (car manufacturer) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Diva%20(car%20manufacturer) | Diva (car manufacturer)
body and spaceframe chassis and could be built with a range of Ford engines ranging from 998 to 1650 cc. Suspension was independent all round and disc brakes were fitted at the front. The car was designed for track use only. Thirteen were built, but one only was registered for the road: the Diva GT C Type registered ACD 305B. This car won Best Car at the Southern Kit Car Meeting held at Hindhead on 17 September 1978 for its owner Steve Pethybridge. The car is currently in Germany.
The 1965 D-Type had a longer nose and headlights so road use was possible. Fifty one were made.
A mid-engined Diva, the Demon, was exhibited at the 1965 Racing Car Show in London using a mid-mounted Hillman Imp engine. | 6,122,880 |

This was changed later in the year for a Ford 1500 cc unit and the car was launched as the Valkyr. Six were made including the prototype.
The only car designed specifically for road rather than racing was the 10F, a version of the GT which used thicker fibreglass bodywork and a flexibly mounted engine. As some road going GTs were also called 10Fs the actual number made in uncertain but would seem to be less than ten.
Production of cars had stopped by 1967 when the rights to the model were sold to a new owner.

Fergus Crawford
Fergus Crawford (1933–1985) was an Irish professional footballer. Crawford was brought up on the Phibsboro Road in Dublin, Ireland, in the shadow of Dalymount Park.
# Career.
Crawford's football career started when he was instructed by the local constabulary to stop playing football on the roads. The local Phoenix Park provided a safer place to kickabout and he was soon spotted there by scouts from Bulfin United, a feeder club for St Patrick's Athletic. Crawford soon moved on to St.Patricks and whilst there he achieved several major honours including LFA President's Cup, FAI Intermediate Cup, two League of Ireland winners medals (1954–55 and 1955–56), and an FAI Cup runners | 6,122,883 |

up medal in 1954.
He played many times for the League of Ireland XI in games that at that time were regarded as the equivalent of full internationals. After a 1952 game against the Football League XI, when as a 19-year-old he marked Stanley Matthews, he received excellent reviews for his mature performance and refusal to be drawn to the tackle. Matthews himself heaped praise upon the young Crawford.
He was picked for the full international squad on more than one occasion but did not receive a full international cap despite having "warmed the bench", most notably against Yugoslavia in 1955. He was incredibly unlucky in that regard as at that time only one substitution was allowed.

Following a contractual dispute with St.Pats that kept him out of football for almost two years he returned to League of Ireland football for the 1959 - 1960 season with Limerick F.C. This was despite offers from big English clubs including Arsenal. It proved a great move for Limerick as, for the first of only two times in their history, they won the League championship.

Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy
Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy is a mixed Church of England high school operating under academy status, in the city of Lancaster in the north west of England. The school has over 1700 pupils between 11 and 18 years old, 350 of whom are part of the sixth form.
# History.
The school started life as Ripley Hospital, founded by Julia, wife of Thomas Ripley, a merchant who traded out of Lancaster and Liverpool. Thomas Ripley was born in Lancaster in 1791, and had been an apprentice to a grocer and linen draper. Since his mercantile career began later than 1807, there is no evidence to link Thomas Ripley with the slave trade.
Indeed, much of | 6,122,887 |
6867650 | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ripley%20St%20Thomas%20Church%20of%20England%20Academy | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy
his wealth stems from the fact that he was one of the first English merchants to embark on trade with China, and much of his subsequent trade was with the East Indies. As a devout Christian, he was keen to establish a charity hospital, modelled on the Liverpool Blue Coat School. Having no children, on his death in 1852 he left a considerable sum of money in trust to establish the Ripley Hospital to cater for fatherless children, especially those whose fathers had been lost at sea.
On 3 November 1864, it was designated to educate an equal number of boys and girls – 300 in total – providing they lived within either of Lancaster Priory or of Liverpool Cathedral.
The main school building, originally | 6,122,888 |
6867650 | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ripley%20St%20Thomas%20Church%20of%20England%20Academy | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy
costing £30,000, included a first class gym, woodwork and metalwork rooms, a domestic school for girls, and heated swimming pool, four courts for playing fives and enough full-sized football pitches to allow 150 boys to play at the same time. A farm of some kept the school supplied with home produced meat, milk and poultry, and a vast kitchen garden gave a constant supply of fresh vegetables. This school was well in advance of its time. The farm won awards for the quality of its meat.
The work of the hospital continued until the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when the building was requisitioned by the army. The pupils then moved out to Capernwray Hall. They expected to return at the end | 6,122,889 |
6867650 | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ripley%20St%20Thomas%20Church%20of%20England%20Academy | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy
of the war, but the government requisitioned Ripley for another three years for use as an emergency teachers' training college.
By then, it was realised that the need for an endowed orphanage was much reduced. State pensions allowed more one parent families to stay together, and the fashion had moved away from institutional units. After the trainee teachers left, the building became a National School, then a boys' secondary modern school until 1966 when Ripley Boys' and St. Thomas Girls' Schools amalgamated to become Ripley St. Thomas Church of England School.
In September 1996, Ripley was designated a Language College. Whilst not changing in any way its status as a Voluntary Aided Church | 6,122,890 |
6867650 | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ripley%20St%20Thomas%20Church%20of%20England%20Academy | Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy
School, this does enable the school to develop its language facilities and so become a 'Centre of Excellence' for modern languages, including French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian and Arabic.
# The school today.
Today, 1650 boys and girls are educated at the school, many of whom continue to the age of 18 years and go on to complete university degree courses. The current headteacher is Mr Martin Wood, whom replaced Mrs Liz Nicholls, who was appointed CEO of The Bay Learning Trust in July 2017. She arrived at Ripley in April 2006, after four years at St Michael's, Chorley. Mr Wood announced his resignation on Thursday 31 January 2019, taking effect in Easter of that year.

additions include science laboratories, a new Language and Technology block housing new classroom space, new sports hall with full size basketball courts, classrooms and fitness suite, and Sixth Form Centre. Ripley has also upgraded the technology, language and mathematics classrooms as part of a wider upgrade of its facilities. The school site is spacious and contains some exceptional features, including good sports facilities, the school farm, plant centre, walled garden and green space including fine mature trees.
The farm has been the subject of much media attention of late, with features from "BBC North West Tonight", "BBC Songs of Praise" and "Newsround", all of which praised the school | 6,122,892 |

on the 'Farm to Fork' initiative, as the farm provides produce for the school kitchen. The school appeared on CBBC's "Blue Peter" on 6 September 2012, with the programme also focusing on the 'Farm to Fork' initiative.
The school raised enough money to build a new multi million pound sixth form centre, which opened in January 2009, complete with lecture and conference facilities. Since doing so, numbers in the sixth form have increased, and it is widely renowned as one of the best in the district. Ripley St Thomas has also been as approved a Technology college, adding to the Language status.
This means students must take at least one language and at least one technology course, e.g. Food Technology | 6,122,893 |

or Textiles at GCSE, continuing the curriculum students experience from Year 7. Ripley has gained many specialisms, including Training School, National Support School and member of the Leading Edge Partnership Programme, providing support to other schools in the area.
In January 2012, an Ofsted report rated the school overall as "Outstanding", the highest of four achievable Ofsted grades. The grade of "Outstanding" was also assigned in all 33 of the areas assessed by Ofsted.
In 2017, the Music Department was awarded the Music Teacher Awards for Excellence's award for Best School Music Department.

students every year, far outweighing the local authority and national average. The results for 5 or more A* to C including English and Maths has risen from 85% in 2010, to 89% in 2011, 31% higher than the national average.
# Sixth form.
In 2009, the sixth form at Ripley St Thomas moved into a brand new multi million pound complex. Complete with lecture and conference facilities, the sixth form centre serves sixth formers and outsiders looking to host events. The building boasts classroom space holding tutorials and seminars, whilst the sixth form canteen ensures independence from the Main School building can be maintained.
350 sixth formers currently reside in the centre. However, a new extension | 6,122,895 |

to the building aims to provide more canteen and social space, alongside adding additional conference facilities. The sixth form is branded separately, and boasts a mature learning environment, for a mature approach to study, creating 'The Best of All Worlds...'
# Academy status onwards.
On Sunday 1 May 2011, Ripley St Thomas became the third high school in Lancaster to be granted Academy status by the Secretary of State, and was re-designated as "Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy". The company has been registered with Companies House and an Academy Trust has been set up to run the company.

r to be granted Academy status by the Secretary of State, and was re-designated as "Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy". The company has been registered with Companies House and an Academy Trust has been set up to run the company.
Whilst the name and branding of Ripley changed to reflect academy status, the ethos and beliefs of the school remain true to the heritage, as founded by Julia Ripley. The school still practises as a Church of England institution, and the conversion to Academy status mainly concerns the back office running and funding of the school. In principle, the Academy Trust delegate the running of the school to the Governing Body.

Zahorski theorem
In mathematics, Zahorski's theorem is a theorem of real analysis. It states that a necessary and sufficient condition for a subset of the real line to be the set of points of non-differentiability of a continuous real-valued function, is that it be the union of a G set and a formula_1 set of zero measure.
This result was proved by in 1939 and first published in 1941.
