Humphrey the Bear is a cartoon character created by the Walt Disney studio in 1950 .

He first appeared in the Goofy cartoon Hold That Pose , in which Goofy tried to take his picture .

After that he appeared in four classic Donald Duck cartoons : Rugged Bear , Grin and Bear It , Bearly Asleep , and Beezy Bear .

Disney gave him his own series in 1955 , but only two films resulted ( Hooked Bear and In the Bag ) before Disney discontinued making theatrical short subjects .

When the shorts division closed , Humphrey was the last of only seven Disney characters who had been given a series of their own , starring in cartoons who opened with their own logo ( the six others were Mickey Mouse , Donald Duck , Goofy , Pluto , Chip ' n ' Dale ( counting as one ) , and Figaro ) .

The Humphrey cartoons have been aptly described by Leonard Maltin as " belly - laugh " shorts , and they feature a broader , wilder style of comedy than the usually cute or coy Disney gags .


St. James' Gate

St. James ' Gate Brewery ( ) is a brewery founded in 1759 in Dublin , Ireland , by Arthur Guinness .

The company is now a part of Diageo , a company formed from the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan in 1997 .

The main product of the brewery is Guinness Draught .

Originally leased in 1759 to Arthur Guinness at IR£45 ( Irish pounds ) per year for 9,000 years , St. James ' Gate has been the home of Guinness ever since .

It became the largest brewery in Ireland in 1838 , and the largest in the world by 1886 , with an annual output of 1.2 million barrels .

Although no longer the largest brewery in the world , it is still the largest brewer of stout in the world .

The company has since bought out the originally leased property , and during the 19th and early 20th centuries the brewery owned most of the buildings in the surrounding area , including many streets of housing for brewery employees , and offices associated with the brewery .

The brewery also made all of its own power using its own power plant .

There is an attached exhibition on the 250-year - old history of Guinness , called the Guinness Storehouse .


Marie Gevers

Marie Gevers ( 30 December 1883 – 9 March 1975 ) was a Belgian novelist .

Educated by her mother , she had a special interest in literature .

Very early in life , she composed bucolic poetry , encouraged by Verhaeren .

Married in 1908 to Jan Frans Willems and mother of Paul Willems , she dedicated her entire life to her family .

In fact , one of the distinctive traits of her poetry was the love of her origins and familial roots .

In 1917 her first anthology , Missenbourg , was published .

Later , around 1930 , she began to focus on writing in prose : Madame Orpha ou la sérénade de mai ( 1933 ) , Guldentop ( 1934 ) and La ligne de vie ( 1937 ) continue this constant interest in the little people and life in Antwerp .

Marie Gevers was the first woman to be elected to the Académie Royale de Langue et de Littérature Françaises de Belgique ( Royal Academy of French Language and Literature in Belgium ) in 1938 .

In 1960 , she was awarded the grand quinquennial Prize for French Literature .


Gogo (mayor of the palace)

Gogo ( died 581 ) was the mayor of the palace of Austrasia and nutricius ( also nutritius , tutor / regent ) for the young Childebert II from 576 until his death .

Gogo had become a very prominent member of the court of Sigebert I by 565 .

It was he who headed an embassy to Spain to fetch the Visigothic princess Brunhilda , Sigebert 's betrothed .

When Sigebert was assassinated he , possibly at the request of Brunhilda , took over the regency for Sigebert and Brunhilda 's son Childebert .

There is a letter , an important but difficult source , written by Gogo , but undated and unattached to the name of either king he served .

It has traditionally been assigned to around the year of his death ( 581 ) and said to have been written on behalf of Childebert to the Lombard Duke of Friuli , Grasulf .

An alternative solution put forward by Walter Goffart places it as early as 571 – 572 around the time of Sigebert 's embassy to Constantinople .


Grave Dwellers

Grave Dwellers , is a term about a particular form of homelessness in Iran , in which unstable or poor people are intending to get rid of the cold , so they sleep inside the graves not in use yet , rather than cardboard boxes in public areas .

Adandozan

Adandozan was a King of the Kingdom of Dahomey , in present - day Benin , from 1797 until 1818 .

His rule ended with a coup by his brother Ghezo who then erased Adandozan from the official history resulting in high uncertainty about many aspects of his life .

Adandozan took over from his father Agonglo in 1797 but was quite young at the time and so there was a regent in charge of the kingdom until 1804 .

Dealing with the economic depression that had defined the administrations of his father Agonglo and grandfather Kpengla , Adandozan tried to increase slave raiding , increase European trade , and when these failed reform the economy to focus on agriculture .

Unfortunately , these efforts did not end domestic dissent and in 1818 at the Annual Customs of Dahomey , Ghezo and Francisco Félix de Sousa , a powerful Brazilian slave trader , organized a coup d'état and replaced Adandozan .

He was left alive and lived until the 1860s hidden in the palaces while he was largely erased from official royal history .

The palace was built in 1955 to mark the Silver Jubilee of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie .

After a coup attempt in the Guenete Leul Palace in 1960 , the Emperor made the Jubilee Palace his main residence .

However , the seat of government remained at the Imperial Palace .

The palace was expanded and doubled in size between 1966 and 1967 .

The Jubilee Palace was the site of the dethronement of Emperor Haile Selassie in September 1974 .

Ten low ranking military officers appeared before the Emperor in the palace library and read him the statement of the Derg ( military council ) , which officially removed him from the throne .

The Derg renamed the Palace the " National Palace " , which it still bears today .

The Derg used this Palace for state ceremonies involving visiting heads of state , state banquets and receptions .

Berto Lardera

Roberto Lardera ( December , 1911 – 1989 ) , was a notable Italian sculptor of the 20th Century .

He was informally known as Berto Lardera .

He was born in La Spezia , Italy , the son of a shipyard worker .

He was self - taught and his leanings towards monumental , metallic sculptures may have been influenced by the sights he grew up with in the naval dockyards .

In 1947 Lardera moved to Paris , where he remained until his death in 1989 .

He exhibited at the Galerie Denise René and then at the Salon de Mai and the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles .

Lardera 's sculpture began with abstract metal structures based on two dimensions , or a flat geometrical plane , which challenged the conventional form of sculpture based around volume and enclosed spaces .

Later his work became more diverse , with his geometrical constructions branching out into the horizontal as well as the vertical plane and often resulting in series based on a single theme , such as his Miracles , Aubes and Archanges series .

His sculptures are to be found the world over , in Europe , America and Japan .

They show the use of a wide range of different metals , as well as different dimensions .

Lardera did not produce very many prints , but his interest in using different planes and dimensions led to him making markedly " sculptural " prints .

He used a unique technique , cutting forms and designs with his sculpting tools in thick iron plates from which the prints were pulled .


Culture industry

The term culture industry ( ) was coined by the critical theorists Theodor Adorno ( 1903 – 1969 ) and Max Horkheimer ( 1895 – 1973 ) , and was presented as critical vocabulary in the chapter " The Culture Industry : Enlightenment as Mass Deception " , of the book Dialectic of Enlightenment ( 1944 ) , wherein they proposed that popular culture is akin to a factory producing standardized cultural goods — films , radio programmes , magazines , etc .— that are used to manipulate mass society into passivity .

Consumption of the easy pleasures of popular culture , made available by the mass communications media , renders people docile and content , no matter how difficult their economic circumstances .

The inherent danger of the culture industry is the cultivation of false psychological needs that can only be met and satisfied by the products of capitalism ; thus Adorno and Horkheimer especially perceived mass - produced culture as dangerous to the more technically and intellectually difficult high arts .

In contrast , true psychological needs are freedom , creativity , and genuine happiness , which refer to an earlier demarcation of human needs , established by Herbert Marcuse .


Hans Litten

Hans Achim Litten ( 19 June 1903 – 5 February 1938 ) was a German lawyer who represented opponents of the Nazis at important political trials between 1929 and 1932 , defending the rights of workers during the Weimar Republic .

During one , Litten subpoenaed Adolf Hitler , to appear as a witness , where Litten then cross - examined Hitler for three hours .

Hitler was so rattled by the experience that , years later , he would not allow Litten 's name to be mentioned in his presence .

In retaliation , Litten was arrested on the night of the Reichstag fire along with other progressive lawyers and leftists .

Litten spent the rest of his life in one German concentration camp or another , enduring torture and many interrogations .

After five years and a move to Dachau , where his treatment worsened and he was cut off from all outside communication , he committed suicide .

A number of memorials to him exist in Germany , but Litten was largely ignored for decades because his politics did not fit comfortably in either the west or the communist postwar propaganda .

Not until 2011 was Litten finally portrayed in the mass media , when the BBC broadcast The Man Who Crossed Hitler , a television film set in Berlin in summer 1931 .


Pentti Pouttu

Pentti Pouttu , died 1597 in Turku , Sweden ( now Finland ) was a Finnish peasant from the province of Ostrobothnia .

He was one of the leaders of the 1596/97 peasant uprising , the Cudgel War .

Year of Pouttu 's birth is unknown , but at the time of his death he was approximately 50–60 years old .

Pouttu joined the rebellions in November 1596 .

He was the leader of the 200 men peasant army marching from Ostrobothnia to the province of Satakunta .

On 20 December 1596 , Pouttu and his men reached the Anola mansion in Ulvila .

Their intention was to persuade the colonel Axel Kurck to join the rebellions , but he stayed loyal to the king Sigismund III .

The peasants were beaten by Kurck 's cavalry and Pouttu was captured .

He was held at the Turku castle where Pouttu died in 1597 .

Wazir dialect

Wazirwola ( wazīrwāla , meaning " of the Wazirs " ) , or Waziri ( ) , is an east - central Pashto dialect spoken in North Waziristan , South Waziristan , Bannu and parts of Tank in Pakistan , and in certain adjacent districts of Paktika , Khost and Paktia provinces of Afghanistan .

The Wazir dialect is almost identical to the dialect spoken around Urgon ( eastern Paktika province ) and the Bannuchi dialect of Bannu , and somewhat resembles the dialect spoken by Khattaks in Karak .

The dialects of Loya Paktia like Khosti and Zadrani are also very closely related , except that they are of the harsh northern variety .

Wazirwola differs significantly in pronunciation and grammar from the standard literary Pashto based on the larger Kandahar , Kabul and Yousafzai dialects .

The vowels [ a ] , [ ɑ ] , [ u ] and [ o ] of standard Pashto yield [ ɑ ] , [ o ] , [ i ] and [ e ] respectively , so [ paʂto ] becomes [ pɑɕte ] in Waziri .

A special feature of Waziri is that the phonemes [ ʃ ] and [ ʂ ] , along with their voiced counterparts , [ ʒ ] and [ ʐ ] , have merged into the phonemes [ ɕ ] and [ ʑ ] , both of which also exist in the nearby Ormuri language of Kaniguram , South Waziristan .

The Pashto alphabet has no symbol for their expression and the regular symbols of ژ and ش may be used .

The standard Pashto word for " boy " , " هلک " [ halək ] , is rarely heard in Waziri , instead , " وېړکی " [ weɻkai ] meaning " little one " is used .

The word " ləshki " [ ləɕki ] is used instead of the standard " لږ " [ ləʐ ] , " a little bit " .

The pronoun موږ ( [ muʐ ] or [ mung ] ) , meaning " we " , is pronounced [ miʑ ] in Waziri .

Waziri , like many other obscure Pashto dialects , is almost never written and its speakers may use standard Pashto as a literary language .

Waziri Pashto is spoken by various tribes , and it is also called Maseedwola by the Mahsuds and Dawarwola by the Dawari .

There are slight differences in pronunciation , for example , the phonemes [ t͡s ] and [ d͡z ] can become [ s ] and [ z ] , or even [ t͡ʃ ] and [ d͡ʒ ] , depending on the tribe or area the speaker is from .


Night Over Water

Night Over Water is a politically minded novel written by author Ken Follett and published by William Morrow in 1991 .

It was reprinted as a paperback book in the United States in 1992 .

Night Over Water is a fictionalized account of the final flight of the Pan American Clipper passenger airplane during the first few days of World War II , early September , 1939 .

Follett is careful to state that , though the flight and all of the characters are fictional the plane , a Boeing 314 , was real and was nicknamed the " Pan Am Clipper . "

It was a seaplane , an aircraft that landed in the sea , not on an airstrip , powered by 4 propeller engines .

It was capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in little more than 24 hours with intermediate stops in Shannon Estuary at Foynes , Ireland , Bay of Exploits at Botwood , Newfoundland and Shediac Bay , Canada , at each of which stop Follett adds a scene or two of intrigue .

This route made the Pan Am Clipper the fastest mode of transatlantic travel at the time — and very appealing to those who wanted to escape from Britain before the start of the war .

The tale begins with several separated threads , telling the individual stories of the people who later all end up in this last flight to New York .

Though Follett manages to bundle all these together , the events the characters share while travelling with the clipper are still told through the perspectives introduced before .

Each of these main characters is heading for his own interests in the beginning but soon they melt together .

The theme is the importance of recognizing the threat of totalitarianism and also a feminist message of women standing up for themselves .


The Rocket Post

The Rocket Post is a 2004 British drama film directed by Stephen Whittaker and starring Ulrich Thomsen , Shauna Macdonald , Kevin McKidd and Patrick Malahide .

It is set on a remote Scottish island during the late 1930s .

The arrival of German rocket scientist Gerhard Zucker is not initially welcomed by the inhabitants of the island .

The film was shot in 2001 , but its release was delayed by several years .

Additional footage was shot in 2005 , and the film was given a limited release in Scotland the following year .

The story is very loosely based on experiments in 1934 by the German inventor Gerhard Zucker to provide a postal service to the island of Scarp by rocket mail .

Another fictionalised account of the experiment formed the basis of a 2001 film , also called The Rocket Post , which was filmed on Taransay .

The film 's original score was composed by Nigel Clarke & Michael Csanyi - Wills and recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London .


Syria–Turkey relations

Turkey shares its longest common border with Syria ; various geographic and historical links also tie the two neighboring countries together .

The traditional tenseness in relations had been due to disputes including the self annexation of the Hatay Province to Turkey in 1939 , water disputes resulting from the Southeastern Anatolia Project , and Syria 's support for the Kurdistan Workers ' Party ( abbreviated as PKK ) and the now - dissolved Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia ( abbreviated as ASALA ) which has been recognised as a terrorist organisation by NATO , EU , and many other countries .

Relations improved greatly after October 1998 , when PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan was expelled by Syrian authorities .

However , the Syrian civil war has once again strained relations between the two countries , leading to the suspension of diplomatic contact .

A serious incident occurred with the Syrian downing of a Turkish military training flight in June 2012 , resulting in Turkey calling an emergency meeting of NATO .

Syria had maintained an embassy in Ankara and two consulates – general in Istanbul and Gaziantep .

Turkey had an embassy in Damascus and a consulate – general in Aleppo .

Diplomatic relations between the countries were severed in March 2012 , due to the Syrian civil war .

Turkey is a full member of the Union for the Mediterranean and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation ( OIC ) while Syria 's membership was suspended due to the civil war .

Committee on Judicial Accountability

The Committee on Judicial Accountability ( CJA ) is a group of lawyers in India who work to improve the accountability of judges .

In 1998 the committee prepared a charge sheet to impeach Justice Madan Mohan Punchhi , and obtained the signatures of 25 Rajya Sabha MPs .

However , Punchhi was appointed Chief Justice of India before the required 50 signatures had been obtained , at which point it became impossible to gain further support for the motion .

The Committee on Judicial Accountability issued a highly critical report on the Judges Enquiry Bill , 2006 , saying of that bill that it " is going to reduce whatever little accountability of Judges remained under the present Judges Enquiry Act " .

Joseph Charlier

Joseph Charlier ( 20 June 1816 – 6 December 1896 ) was a Belgian self - described jurist , writer , accountant , and merchant .

He was one of the earliest proponents of a citizen 's income or guaranteed minimum income , preceding even the " state bonus " scheme published by British Dennis Milner ( 1892–1956 ) in 1920 .

Charlier was influenced by Charles Fourier .

According to John Stuart Mill , Fourierism required that " in the distribution , a certain minimum is first assigned for the subsistence of every member of the community , whether capable or not of labour . "

Fourier and his foremost disciple Victor Prosper Considérant criticized civilization for failing to provide a minimum to the poor , but feared widespread idleness and a collapsing civilization if workers previously depending on " repugnant " labor for income had a choice .

Considérant , in some of his writings , suggested that society guarantee a right to work in order to compensate them for denying equal access to natural resources .

( " La condition sine quâ non - pour la Légitimité de la Propriété est donc que la Société reconnaisse au Prolétaire le droit au travail et qu’elle lui assure au moins autant de moyens de subsistance , pour un exercice d’activité donné , que cet exercice eût pu lui en procurer dans l’État primitif . " )

Charlier agreed with Fourierism that the central problem was the improvement of the condition of the disinherited classes ( " amélioration du sort des classes déshéritées " ) .

He rejected " the right to assistance " , a solution addressing effects rather than the cause , and the " right to work / organization of labor " which he expected to result in an extension of state control .

Instead , Charlier proposed a scheme with a basic income paid unconditionally to every member of society , regardless of need or ability to work .

In 1896 at age 80 , Charlier died at Brussels where he was born .
