When Will There Be Good News? is a 2008 crime novel by Kate Atkinson and won the 2009 Richard & Judy Best Read of the Year at the British Book Awards. It is the third to involve retired private detective Jackson Brodie and is set in and around Edinburgh. It begins in Devon where six-year-old Joanna witnesses the brutal murder of her mother, sister and brother and barely escapes with her own life. Plot. In her crime novel "When Will There Be Good News?", featuring recurring character Jackson Brodie, Kate Atkinson begins with several seemingly unrelated storylines that slowly resolve into a whole. The story opens thirty years in the past. Six-year-old Joanna Mason lives in a remote house with her mother and two siblings after her father has abandoned them. Her mother is determined to survive and to do well by her kids. A man arrives and murders her mother, brother, and sister, but Joanna escapes, running off into the fields around the house. In the present day, a mysterious man is following a young boy at a playground in order to collect a strand of his hair. The action shifts to Reggie, a teen girl babysitting for Joanna Hunter, the young survivor of the murders, now thirty-six, married, and with a young baby. Reggie is a smart but troubled girl, resentful of being on scholarship at her tiny school and recently orphaned. She views Joanna as an ideal mother, devoted to her baby; she enjoys babysitting as it gives her a taste of the family bonds she wishes she had. Reggie’s brother is slipping into a life of crime, which worries her. Joanna receives a visit from a police detective about her husband, which leaves her worried. The mysterious man wishes to use the boy’s hair for a DNA test to prove he is the boy’s father. Louise, the police detective who visited Joanna, worries over her own teenage son while her new husband pressures her to have another baby. She views Joanna’s life as ideal, as well. Louise struggles with the fact that she’s investigating Joanna’s husband for potential insurance fraud. She discovers that the man who murdered Joanna’s family, Andrew Decker, has been released from prison. The man seeking his son’s DNA is Jackson Brodie, a retired private detective. He boards the wrong train and finds himself heading to Edinburgh by accident; the train crashes, and he comes back to consciousness while being given CPR by Reggie. At dinner with her in-laws, Louise reflects on her past relationship with Jackson. Jackson finds he has another man’s wallet in his possession after the chaos of the crash—Andrew Decker. Reggie discovers that Joanna and her baby have disappeared; Joanna’s husband tells Reggie that she has gone to visit an ailing aunt, but Reggie does not believe him. Reggie witnessed two men threatening Joanna. After struggling with a brief amnesia that led him to think he might be Andrew Decker, Jackson recovers from his injuries. Two men who might be connected to her brother assault Reggie in her house. When Reggie takes her fears about Joanna to Louise, asking for police intervention, Louise sees the bruises and is suspicious. Louise discovers that Jackson was on the train and goes to visit him; he reveals he is still very much in love with her. Reggie has grown to like Jackson, finding in him a similar world-view and childhood experience. When Louise refuses to get the police involved based on her vague worry, she asks Jackson to look for Joanna. Jackson reluctantly agrees. They go to Joanna’s house and seeing the two men Reggie saw threatening her, follow them. They come to a house just as Joanna emerges with her baby, covered in blood. Joanna was, in fact, kidnapped by men her husband owes money to. She escapes her captors by violently stabbing them with a pen and a knife; when Jackson arrives on the scene she asks him to burn down the house, which he does so she will not be charged with murder. Jackson discovers that Andrew Decker ended up with all of his possessions just as he has Decker’s. Decker is a tormented man; he goes to Jackson’s apartment and kills himself. Joanna tells the police she cannot remember any details about her kidnapping; she discovers that her husband has been conning her, cleaning out their bank accounts; however the house is in her name, so she still has that. The story leaps forward a few months into the future. Joanna’s husband has been arrested. Reggie has inherited money and moves in with her to help her cope with the fallout from her husband’s crimes and the divorce as well as to take care of the baby. Jackson reveals that thirty years before, he was the man who found Joanna hiding in the fields and saved her. Hearing about Decker’s suicide, Jackson discovers that Joanna had visited Decker in prison a month before his release. He wonders if Joanna persuaded him to kill himself, and if it matters considering what the man did to her. Main characters. The main narrative is set thirty years later in Edinburgh and is told from the viewpoint of predominantly three main characters: Reception. Reviews were generally positive: Television adaptation. The novel was adapted for television for the BBC in 2011 as the final two episodes of the first series of "Case Histories".

It is a collection of scholarly and anecdotal information about the society and culture of the country’s major Muslim groups, the Moors, Malays, Memons and Muslims of Indian origin who though of different ethnic origins, share the common faith of Islam. The work is contains detailed information on aspects like ethnic origins, language, settlements, customs and traditions, dress and ornamentation, culinary fare, medical remedies, names and titles, occupations, social organization, ceremonial observances and religious and folk beliefs. Controversy. Hussein has written in support of what the World Health Organization classifies as Type Ia Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). In an article entitled "Female Circumcision: The Hidden Truth" he defended amputation of the clitoral prepuce as "an Islamic practice that brings untold benefits to women," while criticising more extreme forms of FGM such as clitoridectomy and infibulation. In May 2016 a page on social media site Facebook promoting Hussein's article was deleted by Facebook after multiple complaints from Facebook users. In July 2017 the same article was republished on a Canadian web site called "Muslims in Calgary." In September 2017 the Muslim Council of Calgary, which says it represents 80,000 Muslims in Calgary, issued statements disavowing any connection to the web site, and condemning "anti-Semitic sentiments" in Hussein's article.

Its headquarters are in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Early history. Lightworks was founded in Sheffield in 1989, with the goal to create a software toolkit for producing photorealistic renders from 3D geometry. While originally based in the Sheffield Science Park, Lightworks is now based in Rutledge House, a building situated next to the Sheffield Botanical Gardens and originally built in the 1850s as the Victoria Park Hotel. The first Lightworks product was demonstrated at the 1990 Autofact exhibition in Detroit, USA. Sales of the initial Lightworks product commenced in early 1991, and the company signed their first major CAD developer, Unigraphics (now Siemens) in 1993. The company signed their first international customer, CPU of Japan, in 1994. In 1995 Lightworks began to develop the MachineWorks toolkit. This led to the foundation of MachineWorks, which is now a separate company. In 1997, Lightworks launched a large model navigation system called Navisworks, which was sold in 2007 to Autodesk for $26 million. In 1999, Lightworks and Intel formed a partnership, and the company started to develop their products for the Linux platform. Recent developments. Partnership with NVIDIA. At SIGGRAPH 2013, Lightworks announced a new partnership with NVIDIA to develop an SDK to provide access to NVIDIA's Iray technology.

The genus is monotypic, consisting of the species Paucidentomys vermidax, or the edented Sulawesi rat. The Latin name may also be translated to its other common name "few-toothed worm-eating rat", referring to the fact that they have only two teeth and may live exclusively on a diet of earthworms. Description. "Paucidentomys vermidax" is larger than "Melasmothrix naso", "Sommeromys macrorhinos" and "Tateomys macrocercus", similar in size to "Tateomys rhinogradoides", smaller than "Rhynchomys soricoides" and substantially smaller than species of "Echiothrix". The face is more elongate than that of any other Sulawesi shrew-rat, but similar in this regard to "Rhynchomys". It has a very long rostrum (relative to other Sulawesi shrew-rats), small eyes, large ears, a soft pelage and a long, thick, hairy and dorsoventrally bicoloured tail. Unique dentition. "Paucidentomys vermidax" is the only known rodent with no molars, which is an adaptation to its diet which may be exclusively earthworms (it appears to be a specialist vermivore based on the stomach contents of one individual). Moreover, rather than gnawing incisors, this animal has bicuspid upper incisors, which is also unique among the more than 2,200 species of rodents. The upper incisors are short with an anterior cusp and slightly inferior posterior cusp; these cusps are connected by a sharp, concave cutting edge at the lateral margin of the tooth. The pterygoid plate is absent. The dentary is long and delicate, lacking significant muscle attachment points. The lower incisors are unicuspid, procumbent, sharp and delicate. Its dental formula is . Distribution. "Paucidentomys vermidax" is known from Mount Gandangdewata and Mount Latimojong in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Etymology. The generic name combines the Latin "paucus" (few) with "dentis" (tooth) and the Greek "mys" (mouse) in reference to the lack of molars. The epithet is a hybrid of "vermi" (worm) and "edax" (devourer), in reference to the animal's diet.

It was last active with the 312th Aeronautical Systems Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, where it was inactivated on 30 June 2010. The group was first activated in the Air Force Reserve om 1963 as the 912th Troop Carrier Group. The 912th served in the reserves as an airlift unit until it was inactivated in 1973. It was activated as a systems development organization in 2006 as part of the Air Force Materiel Command Transformation. History. Airlift. After May 1959, the reserve flying force consisted of 45 troop carrier squadrons assigned to 15 troop carrier wings. The squadrons were not all located with their parent wings, but were spread over thirty-five Air Force, Navy and civilian airfields under what was called the Detached Squadron Concept. However, under this concept, all support organizations were located with the wing headquarters. Although this was not a problem when the entire wing was called to active service, mobilizing a single flying squadron and elements to support it proved difficult, To resolve this, Continental Air Command, (ConAC) determined to reorganize its reserve wings by establishing groups with support elements for each of its troop carrier squadrons at the start of 1962. This reorganization would facilitate mobilization of elements of wings in various combinations when needed. However, the 512th Troop Carrier Wing and its squadrons were mobilized for the Cuban Missile Crisis. The wing was released from active duty on 22 November 1962, but the mobilization delayed its reorganization until February 1963. The 912th Troop Carrier Group, flying Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcars was activated as the command element for the 326th Troop Carrier Squadron at Willow Grove Naval Air Station, Pennsylvania, along with support elements for the 326th. The 912th Troop Carrier mission was to organize, recruit and train Air Force Reserve personnel in the tactical airlift mission with C-119s for Tactical Air Command airlift operations. The 912th was one of three C-119 groups assigned to the 512th Wing in 1963, the others being the 913th Troop Carrier Group also at Willow Grove, and the 914th Troop Carrier Group at Niagara Falls International Airport, New York. In January 1965 the 512th Wing was transferred without personnel or equipment to Carswell Air Force Base, Texas, and the group was reassigned to the 302d Troop Carrier Wing at Clinton County Air Force Base, Ohio, although group remained at Willow Grove. The group transferred to 514th Troop Carrier Wing at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. In September 1968 the group moved from Willow Grove to Dover Air Force Base, Delaware and became a Lockheed C-141 Starlifter associate organization of the active duty 436th Military Airlift Wing as the 912th Military Airlift Group. Its crews and maintenance personnel flew and maintained the 436th's Starlifters. The squadron was inactivated in July 1973 when the 512th Military Airlift Wing became the reserve associate unit at Dover and absorbed the mission and personnel of the 912th. Aeronautical Systems. In 2005 Air Force Materiel Command implemented the Air Force Materiel Command Transformation reorganization, in which the command replaced its traditional program offices with wings, groups, and squadrons. The group was redesignated the 912th Aeronautical Systems Group and activated in the regular air force as part of this reorganization. It was inactivated in 2010 when Air Force Materiel Command returned to its traditional program office organization.

36797581	36828769	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=36797581	Sea Malta	Sea Malta Company Limited (1973-2006) was the Maltese national shipping company. The goal of the company was to provide commercial maritime services company as well as to serve the needs of Maltese industry and the nation in general. The first ships to operate as part of Sea Malta were three old ships previously owned by the Maltese National Lines, the "Marsa", "Gudja" and "Mdina". The company was liquidated in 2006 after a failed privitization deal. History. Sea Malta was stablished on 10 November 1973 during the tenure of the Labour Government led by Dominic Mintoff. The government held the majority of the shares in the new company. In 1974, Sea Malta bought its first vessels, named "Rabat" and "Zejtun". The latter, although one of the most famous ships owned by the company, was quite unfortunate as in 1976 a bow replacement was needed after a collision with another ship near Capo Passero in Sicily whilst in 1978 while moored at Tunis, it heeled and had to be brought to Malta Drydocks for needed repairs. The company continued to evolve and even invested in oil bunkering, insurance and shipping agency services. In 1973 the ship " Tudor Prince" capsized whilst outside the Harbour walls Grand Harbour. It was purchased by Sea Malta and following the completion of necessary repairs renamed as "Bormla". In the same year the ship "Dwejra" was bought, however it was resold after a few months in December 1975. The three old ships "Marsa", "Gudja" and "Mdina" were laid up in 1976 and in the same year, the company purchased the ship "Qormi" in order to provide better service to Europe. Another ship was bought in 1976 and named "Dwejra II". In 1979 Sea Malta also participated directly in the establishment of the national towing company, Tug Malta. In 1980 the "Rabat" was sold and in 1990 this ship met disaster as it sank near the English Channel with the loss of all her crew. In 1981, the head offices of Sea Malta were transferred from Floriana to the Sea Malta Building in Marsa where they remained until 2006. In 1985 the ship "Zebbug" was purchased following the selling of "Bormla" in 1984. The "Zebbug" replaced the "Qormi" on the Reggio route. In 1987 Sea Malta bought another ship synonymous with the company, the "Pinto". Several other ships were acquired for a short period by Sea Malta including the "Mosta" (1986-1988) and the "Kusi" (1985-1987). By the mid-nineties, however, Sea Malta had only two ships, "Zebbug" and "Pinto" as the company sold off the "Dwejra II" in 1987 and the "Qormi" in 1987. Yet, in 1996 the company purchased the largest ship until then the "Senglea" only to be re-sold after just a year. The "Pinto" was sold in 1998 and a year later its replacement was bought. This proved to be the last and largest ship ever owned by the company, the "Maltese Falcon". For the last six years the company only operated the "Zebbug" on the Malta - Catania - Reggio route and the "Maltese Falcon" between Malta - Tunis - Genoa - Marseille. Since 2003, bad weather accumulated over the company as the Nationalist Government stated that it was making losses and thus being costly to the tax payers, albeit Sea Malta never took any subsidy. Liquidation. In 2005 privatization negotiations failed and the Nationalist government declared the company bankrupt. Therefore, Sea Malta, one of the icons of Malta and which always served the nation, was liquidated. The ship "Zebbug" was sold to Fergun Lines and renamed "Fehim Bey", still operating to Malta. The "Maltese Falcon" was purchased by Grimaldi Lines, keeping the same name and sailing until 2009 when it was scrapped in India. Sea Malta was undoubtedly an important asset to the Maltese economy and its closure was surely a disappointment for many Maltese sailors who for a number of years served on board with great satisfaction.

The Amikwa were Anishinaabeg peoples, and spoke an Ojibwe language. In the Jesuit Relations, the Amikwa were referred to as the Nez Perce (not to be confused with the Pacific Northwest Nez Perce people). They inhabited the north shore of Lake Huron, opposite Manitoulin Island, along the shores between Missisagi and French Rivers, and along Spanish River. In September 1753, Bacqueville de la Potherie claimed that they inhabited the shores of Lake Nipissing. They were a large, powerful group allied with the Nipissings and related to the Outchougai, Mandua, and Atchiligouan peoples. The Amikwa were nearly wiped out by disease and wars with the Iroquois and the last of the tribe appear to have merged with the Nipissings or the Ojibwe.

36797698	48492641	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=36797698	Rimsha Masih blasphemy case	Rimsha Masih ( — some early reports used the first name "Rifta" or "Riftah") is a Pakistani girl from Islamabad, who was arrested by the Pakistani police on blasphemy charges in August 2012 when she was 14 years old. The alleged charges included desecrating pages of the Quran (or a book containing verses from the Quran) by burning—a crime punishable by death under Pakistan's blasphemy law. She is a member of Pakistan's Christian minority. Two weeks after her arrest, the local imam who had reported her to police was arrested on suspicion of planting pages of religious texts in Rimsha's bag. Rimsha was eventually acquitted of all charges. In mid 2013 after months of hiding, Rimsha and her family were able to escape to Canada. Arrest. Rimsha Masih was arrested on August 16, 2012, for allegedly burning pages from the Quran. While carrying trash in a plastic bag in the neighborhood where she lived she was told by a Muslim boy (Hammad) to let him inspect the contents of her bag. The boy then took the bag to the imam of a local mosque, Hafiz Mohammed Khalid Chishti who accusing Masih of desecrating the Quran, gave police burned papers from the trash as evidence against her. On August 24 Chishti told AFP news service that he thought Rimsha had burned the pages deliberately as part of a Christian "conspiracy" to insult Muslims, and that action should have been taken sooner to stop what he called their "anti-Islam activities" in the area. Outrage by local Muslims forced 300 local Christian families to leave their homes and to attempt to "find shelter in one of the Islamabad forests". Health condition. There are conflicting reports as to whether she has a mental health condition, with some sources claiming that she has Down syndrome, her family has been reported to have told her lawyer she suffers from mental illness. In the initial days after her arrest, human-rights workers "pinned their hopes" on Rimsha's mental condition, and her case being dismissed for her being mentally disabled. There are also conflicting reports about her age: although most sources describe her as 11 years old, she has also been claimed to be aged 14 or 16. Following a medical examination, a medical report estimated her age as being 14, and therefore a minor under Pakistani law, and stated that she had mental capacity lower than would be expected for someone of that age. This report was questioned by her accuser's lawyer, who accused the report of "favouring" her, and a prosecutor claimed that Rimsha is actually 21 years old. Some reports state that she is illiterate, and may have unknowingly picked the pages of the book up from a waste dump. Domestic and international reaction. Her arrest caused widespread condemnation, and was followed by a rise of inter-communal tension within Pakistan. The President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, has ordered an investigation into the arrest. France "urged the Pakistani authorities to release this young girl" and has reaffirmed that "the very existence of the crime of blasphemy infringes upon fundamental freedoms, namely the freedom of religion or belief, as well as the freedom of expression. It urges Pakistan to comply with its international commitments in this area, notably the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child." Members of the All Pakistan Ulema Council joined with the Pakistan Interfaith League in protest against the accusations. Her father made a personal appeal to President Zardari on her behalf. The lawyer representing her accuser claimed the government was interfering on her behalf and claimed, "If the court is not allowed to do its work, because the state is helping the accused, then the public has no other option except to take the law into their own hands.". The civic organization Avaaz launched a campaign to release Rimsha. , the campaign petition had gathered over one million signatures. New evidence and release on bail. On September 2, it was reported that a local imam, Hafiz Mohammed Khalid Chishti, had been arrested for desecrating the Quran himself and tampering with evidence. Police suspected he planting pages of religious texts in Rimsha's bag, The next day, the chairman of the All Pakistan Ulema Council, Hafiz Mohammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi made a statement supporting her, describing her as a "daughter of the nation". On September 7, Rimsha Masih was released on bail, on a surety of 1,000,000 Pakistani rupees (US$10,570 on that date). Paul Bhatti, the Pakistani Minister for National Harmony, who had earlier stated his hopes that the case might help end the widespread abuse of the blasphemy laws, expressed "joy and satisfaction" at the development. After her release from jail, she was airlifted to an undisclosed location to rejoin her family. According to Agence France Presse quoting investigators, Chishti was arrested after Chishti's deputy Maulvi Zubair and two others told a magistrate that Chishti had added pages from the Quran to the burnt pages brought to him by a witness. Zubair and the two others, Mohammad Shahzad and Awais Ahmed, said they had urged Chishti not to interfere with the papers but he told them it was the only way to expel the Christians from the area. Acquittal and emigration. On November 20, 2012, Rimsha was cleared of all charges by the Islamabad High Court. In June 2013, CBC News reported her and her family to be living at an undisclosed location in Canada, where they were given permanent residency on "humanitarian and compassionate grounds". Despite the fact that the case against her was thrown out, people in Pakistan accused of blasphemy are often subject to vigilante justice. According to the Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, a Pakistani contact asked him in January 2013 whether the family could come to Canada. "I said absolutely, if they could get her out. So a number of people did some very dangerous, delicate work to extricate her and her family from Pakistan, and we provided the necessary visas." Aug 17, 2013 the lawyer of cleric Khalid Chishti reported that a district judge in Islamabad granted his motion to acquit his Chishti, ruling that the prosecution had not brought forward sufficient evidence to convict the cleric.

The history of the Free Judges is closely related to the settlement of ethnic Germans in Kłodzko Valley. This settlement began under King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia and grew during the reign of his son Ottokar II. Land was allocated to the Germans by the Burgrave of Glatz, in his capacity as royal governor. The Free Judges descended mostly from German . These were people who had been granted special privileges by the King of Bohemia to reclaim and settle uninhabited areas. German law was gradually implemented in the Czech villages which already existed in the area before the arrival of the Germans. These villages were mostly located along the roads to Prague and Brno and were administered by a , an official appointed by the Burgrave. The German villages were administered by a , an official with a comparable position. In the first half of the 14th century, they were organized in an "Association of Vogts and Judges", who saw to the enforcement of various privileges. The Free Judges were first mentioned in a 1337 document. The laws applicable to them were handed down orally until the 14th century. They were first written down by King Charles IV on 13 July 1348, who referred to older laws. This document confirmed existing privileges and promised that Kłodzko would never be separated from the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, nor would it be sold or mortgaged. However, the King broke his promise only two years later, when his friend Arnošt of Pardubice, Archbishop of Prague, donated the two villages of Starków and Szalejów Dolny, which belonged to him and his two brothers, to the Canons Regular of Glatz. Since all subjects in these two villages would be under the jurisdiction of their new landlord, the King subjected the Free Judges of these villages to the Archbishop. Despite their objections, the King forced them to submit to the Augustinian priory. Unlike the Free Judges, the nobility in Kłodzko held their property only as a royal fief. This meant that they were not allowed to sell it, and it could only be inherited along the male line. If no male heir existed, the fief returned to the Crown. Consequently, the noblemen tried to acquire the estates of the Free Judges, which were unencumbered. The cities and the Jesuits in the area also tried to acquire these estates. Some of the Free Judges became wealthy and gained prestige and came to be seen as lower nobility. However, in the Landtag, they formed a third estate, next to the nobility and the clergy. Legally, they were subject to the Court in Kłodzko. During the Bohemian Revolt of 1618, most of the Free Judges sided with the rebels. They elected Free Judge Hans Wolf of Długopole Górne as their leader. He excelled during the defense of Bystrzyca Kłodzka. Nevertheless, imperial troops conquered the County of Kladsko in 1622. In 1625, 49 Free Judges were sentenced to fines, or loss of up to two thirds of their property. Almost all of the Free Judges were Protestants; in 1625 they were forced to choose between converting to Catholicism, or emigrating. During this period, the Free Judges lost most of their wealth to fines, looting and war taxes. They also lost their legal privileges, however, these privileges were restored on 7 May 1652, after they paid Emperor Ferdinand III a large sum. These privileges included, depending on the deed in which they were granted, brewery rights, they right to license pubs and bars, the right to sell licences for various crafts, the right to hunt foxes and hares, fishing rights and the right to hunt birds. In the following decades, most of the land held by Free Judges was acquired by noble families. The villages of Łężyce and Strachocin were raised to manors. After serfdom was abolished, most of the privileges associated with the Free Judges' estates were lost. The estates continued to exist as landed estates. Estates. The estate of a Free Judge was a separate legal entity with "dominium" rights. Such an estate would include land and forest, but also mills, craft workshops and often a pub, brewing rights and fishing rights. The subjects had to pay rent and provide certain services. An estate could be inherited by a child of either gender. When an estate was sold, the rights and privileges belonging to the estate were included in the sale. No taxes were levied on the estate itself, only on land added later. Courts. Free Judges presided over the village court, which consisted of lay judges elected by the villages. The village court dealt with police matters and low justice. As judges, the Free Judges were completely independent of the land owner and the nobility. The Free Judge received one third of all fines imposed; the other two thirds went to the land owner. Free Judges only had jurisdiction over free farmers. After the Hussite wars, the nobility gradually gained jurisdiction over the villages, and during the 16th century, the Free Judges lost their judicial role.

36797927	34128202	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=36797927	The Darkened Room	The Darkened Room: Women, Power and Spiritualism in Late Victorian England is a historical study into the role played by women in the Spiritualist religious movement in England during the latter part of the 19th century. It was written by the British historian Alex Owen and first published in 1989 by Virago, before being republished in 2004 by the University of Chicago Press. A work of feminist history which arose from Owen's PhD thesis undertaken at the University of Sussex, "The Darkened Room" looks at the role of women in the Spiritualist movement of the period, counterbalancing what Owen perceived as a former focus on the role of men. Background. Owen and her research. The basis to "The Darkened Room" came from Owen's PhD thesis, undertaken at the University of Sussex. Exploring "the idea of femininity as a social construct", she initially planned to focus her thesis on the manner in which Victorian medical science played in reinforcing "a feminine norm", but in doing so came upon the case of Louisa Lowe, a woman who appeared in front of the Parliamentary Select Committee in 1887, claiming that she had been wrongly incarcerated in a mental asylum by her husband because she was a Spiritualist. Fascinated by the relationship between this Spiritualist movement and women in Late Victorian England, she decided to refocus her doctorate on this topic instead. Highlighting that the majority of scholarly work on the subject of Spiritualism had focused on male members of the religion, she decided to take a feminist approach to the subject by focusing on the women. Deciding to explore "issues of power and subversion", she adopted the definition of "power" provided by the famous French philosopher Michel Foucault (1926–1984). Owen took as her primary source material the published tracts, personal accounts and newsletters of the Late Victorian Spiritualist movement, noting that W.H. Harrison's "Spiritualist" and James Burns' "Human Nature" and "Medium Daybreak" proved to be "the most useful, enlightening and engaging." A non-Spiritualist, Owen admitted that she could not explain many of the accounts of spirits which appeared in the accounts of Spiritualist séances. Following the completion of her thesis, Owen moved to the United States, taking up a Research Fellowship at the University of California, San Diego from 1983 until 1986 and then a position as a Research Associate and Visiting Lecturer in the Women's Program in Religion at the Harvard Divinity School from 1986 until 1987, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. It was while working in these positions that she wrote up her thesis as "The Darkened Room". Reception. Press reviews. "The Darkened Room" was reviewed by Dinah Birch for the "London Review of Books". Birch noted that by the 1980s, Spiritualism had been "bundled out of sight, like a batty old aunt at a family gathering", ignoring the importance that it had held in Victorian society. Describing Owen's work as "solid and compelling", she highlighted a number of its arguments.
36797936	1294315876	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=36797936	Morten Søndergaard	Morten Søndergaard (3 October 1964 in Copenhagen) is a Danish poet. In addition to his poetry he has published short prose, lyrical prose, novels, been a translator and editor, and worked with language and poetry in installation art and sound. Life. Morten Søndergaard was born in Copenhagen and grew up in Hjallese in Odense and graduated from Tornbjerg Gymnasium in 1984. From 1989 to 1991 he attended the Danish Writer's school (Forfatterskolen) in Copenhagen and obtained his MA in comparative literature at the University of Copenhagen in 1995. From 2002 to 2008 he co-edited the literary magazine "Hvedekorn" with Tomas Thøfner, and also co-founded the poetry magazine "Øverste Kirurgiske" (Upper surgery). In 2003 and again in 2007 he was nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. He has since 1998 been living in Italy, first in the town Vinci, Tuscany, then in Pietrasanta. Søndergaard used his time in Italy as the basis for two of his works, "Vinci, Senere" and "Processen og det halve kongerige". Morten Søndergaard has been married to author Merete Pryds Helle. Together with their two children, they lived in Italy for 8 years, first in Vinci and later in Pietrasanta, after which they moved back to Copenhagen. Morten Søndergaard plays for the Danish authors national football team. Several of his works have been published abroad and translated into English, Swedish, Italian, Norwegian, German, Arabic and French. Since 2018, Morten Søndergaard has been working on the development of the computer game "Out of Words" in collaboration with Danish game studio Kong Orange and animation studio Wired Fly Animation. The Poetic project. With his poems, Morten Søndergaard aspire to capture the world through his poetry. Danish Literary critic Lars Bukdahl has called Søndergaard's poetry "romantic encyclopaedism" in his work "Generationsmaskinen" (can be translated into: The Generation Machine), and since his debut "Sahara i mine hænder" (can be translated into: Sahara in my hands) from 1992, Søndergaard's poetry has dealt with everything from the smallest to the largest things in the universe - from quarks to solar systems. In a poem from his 2005 collection "Et skridt i den rigtige retning" (translation: A Step in the Right Direction), Morten Søndergaard writes directly: "The ambition is to gather everything in one poem". Such reflections on his own writing practice also permeate several of Morten Søndergaard's poetic works. Here, he describes letters as windows to the world (for example in "Døden er en del af mit navn", 2016 - translation: Death is part of my name), or language as doors to things in the universe (as in "Til", 2023 - translation: To): "My poems are doors I go through to be found by the writing like finding a tool that fits the task and something clicks." Morten Søndergaard has also realized his poetry out into the physical world through music, marble tiles with carved poems, a physical word pharmacy, poems on walls, gravestones and as objects in physical spaces such as "The new room" in the museum Bakkehuset in Frederiksberg, Denmark. This culminated in the encyclopaedic conversation book "The new room" from 2022, where each text deals with everything from science, language, philosophy, poems and much more that can form the basis for conversations between people. Work. Søndergaard debuted in 1992 with "Sahara i mine hænder" (Sahara in my hands). His breakthrough to a wider audience came in 1998 with "Bier dør sovende" (Bees die sleeping). Based on his experiences living in and coming back to Italy, the poetry collection "Vinci, Senere" (Vinci, Later; 2002), deals with the subjects of time and movement. These themes are expanded in the collection "Et skridt i den rigtige retning", (A step in the right direction, 2005), which explores the relation between walking and poetry. In the poetical narrative "Processen og det halve kongerige" (The process and half the kingdom, 2010), Søndergaard again returns to his time in Italy, and to his childhood, this time focusing on perception and the senses. In his poetry, Søndergaard "lets the world intrude and enrich the imagination, so that new, surreal and "hyper"-real images emerge – with a different outlook on the world as a result. Not quite without humour". His books have been translated into Arabic, English, German, French, Italian, Swedish and Serbian. While Søndergaard primarily works as a poet, he has also branched out into numerous other media. He has thus created a series of exhibitions and installations, as well as having produced both musical and dramatic works. The sensorial nature of his poetry and the physical nature of some of his other works thus combine to bring poetry and world closer together. In the artist's own words: "I try to approach both poetry and world by making the two phenomena collide and then see what happens.". He has also translated several works by Jorge Luis Borges into Danish. Søndergaards "Ordapotek" (Wordpharmacy) is a concrete poetical work, which equates the structure of language with pharmaceutical products. This poetic experiment consists of ten boxes of medicines, one for each word class, such as verbs, nouns or adverb. A leaflet in each package explains the dangers of overdose and the like. For example, the leaflet for Pronouns explains: "Use Pronouns once a day. Drink plenty of water. After the first week you can increase the number of Pronouns used to as much as 2 Pronouns daily, depending on what has been agreed with the others. You can use Pronouns any time of day, by itself or together with a meal. Pronounce Pronouns loudly and clearly. Do not chew them.". An important part of Søndergaard's cross-aesthetic project is his work with sound and music, which has resulted in works such as "Hjertets abe sparker sig fri", a CD project he released in collaboration with the duo Schweppenhäuser/Thomsen. In the same spirit, he has curated a series of exhibitions and installations, and has also written dramatic pieces. In this way, the sensual in his poems and the physical in his other artistic endeavours meet in an attempt to bring poetry and the world closer together. In the artist's own words: "I try to approach both poetry and world by making the two phenomena collide and then see what happens" ("I try to approach both poetry and world by making the two phenomena collide and then see what happens", in an interview with 3AM Magazine). Søndergaard has also experimented with how the material on which a text is written affects the text, including writing memorial notes in marble. In 2014, a gravestone for a certain "Andreas Morgenrødt - time traveller" with the dates 1996 - 2064 appeared at The Assistens Cemetery. It was a curiosity for a while, but in 2016 Søndergaard admitted that Andreas Morgenrødt was an anagram of his own name and he himself was the man behind the installation. This culminated in 2024 with the publication of his work "Æon" by Hermen & Frudit. Søndergaard’s explorations of the various collisions between meaning and materiality has resulted in extra-linguistic works that span sound art, artists books, asemic writing strategies and performance. His artistic practice unfolds around explorations and challenges of what poetry can be and is, and how it can subsist in the breaches and connections between signs and things.

In most countries, civil defense is a government-managed and often volunteer-staffed organization. Towards the end of the Cold War, a number of civil defense organizations have been disbanded or mothballed (as in the case of the Royal Observer Corps in the United Kingdom and the United States civil defense), while others have changed their focuses into providing rescue services after natural disasters (as for the State Emergency Service in Australia). Africa. Egypt. The Egyptian General Administration of Civil Defense "is a department of Ministry of Interior (Egypt), founded in 1875.

The first post-WWII civil defence co-ordinator was appointed in October 1948 "to supervise the work of federal, provincial and municipal authorities in planning for public air-raid shelters, emergency food and medical supplies, and the evacuation of likely target areas". In 1959, the Government of Canada, under John Diefenbaker handed authority for civilian defense to the Emergency Measures Organisation (EMO). Large fallout shelters, known as "Diefenbunkers" were built at rural locations outside major cities across Canada at the height of the Cold War during the infancy of the ICBM threat. The EMO then became Emergency Planning Canada in 1974, then Emergency Preparedness Canada in 1986. In February 2001, the Government replaced Emergency Preparedness with the Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Preparedness (OCIPEP), responsible for civilian emergency planning in both peace and war. Among the "Core Missions" of the Canada First Defence Strategy (under the Canadian Department of National Defence) are to respond to terrorist attacks and other crises such as natural disasters. According to the Emergency Management Act, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness is responsible for exercising leadership relating to emergency management in Canada by coordinating, among government institutions and in cooperation with the provinces and other entities, emergency management activities.

China continues to construct large public emergency shelters. Not less than three large (maximum capacity of around 8000) shelters are to be completed in the Shanghai area by 2012, with more planned. The ironic completion date of late 2012 has been dismissed as coincidence, with the true intent claimed to be a response to the 2008 Sichuan earthquakes, "as a precaution against possible natural disasters".
