Jonas Geirnaert

Jonas Geirnaert ( born July 28 , 1982 ) studied animation at the KASK in Ghent .

In May 2004 he won the Short Film Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival with his animated short Flatlife ( 11 min ) .

Of the copy he sent in for selection only the first minute had sound .

This is because this was his graduation project , and it was n't completely finished at the final date for selection entries .

Although Flatlife has no political message , Jonas ' previous movie , The All - American Alphabet , clearly has one .

On stage in Cannes , Jonas had a message for all Americans : " Do n't vote Bush " .

At that moment such statements were very popular , however his political preference has to be situated in the extreme - left corner as he is a militant for the marxist party Workers Party of Belgium .

In the fall of 2005 Geirnaert made the TV comedy series Neveneffecten for Canvas ( public Flemish television ) with his fellow comedians Lieven Scheire , Koen De Poorter and Jelle De Beule .

In 2011 this same group of four made the television show BASTA which also offered satirical critique on current cultural phenomenon , like help desks , uncritical journalism , television call games , the production of meat and internet scammers .

Through their actions some of the more fraudulent abuses have been put to a stop , e.g.

the de facto illegal television calling games have been banned from television in Flanders .

List of High Commissioners of New Zealand to Fiji

The High Commissioner from New Zealand to Fiji is New Zealand 's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of the Fiji Islands , and in charge of New Zealand 's diplomatic mission in Fiji .

The High Commission is located in Suva , Fiji 's capital city .

New Zealand first maintained a resident Head of Mission in Fiji since 1970 .

The Ambassador to Fiji is concurrently accredited to Nauru and Tuvalu .

As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations , diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Fiji are at governmental level , rather than between Heads of State .

Thus , the countries exchange High Commissioners , rather than ambassadors .

Between 1987 and 1997 , this was not the case ; after the Coups of 1987 , Fiji was expelled from the Commonwealth , but rejoined after the promulgation of a new constitution in 1997 .

Hence , from 1987 until 1997 , New Zealand was represented in Fiji by an ambassador .


Olen (poet)

Olen ( ) was a legendary early poet from Lycia who went to Delos , where his hymns celebrating the first handmaidens of Apollo in the island of the god 's birth and other " ancient hymns " were still part of the cult at Delos in the time of Herodotus :

The hieratic poetry of Olen is now entirely lost .

Pausanias wrote , " The Lycian Olen , an earlier poet , who composed for the Delians , among other hymns , one to Eileithyia , styles her ' the clever spinner ' , clearly identifying her with fate , and makes her older than Cronos . "

Apparently Olen 's hymn reflected the pre - Hellenic role of Eileithyia , whom Olympian mythographers like Hesiod recast as a daughter of Zeus and Hera .

The Delphian Pythia Boeo attributed to him the introduction of the cult of Apollo and the invention of the epic meter .

Many hymns , nomes ( simple songs to accompany the circular dance of the chorus ) , and oracles , attributed to Olen , were preserved in Delos , revered as Apollo 's birthplace .

" The legend which was especially attributed to him was that of Apollo 's sojourn among the Hyperboreans . "

The game was expanded upon in 1977 , with help from Don Woods , and other programmers created variations on the game and ports to other systems in the following years .

In the game , the player controls a character through simple text commands to explore a cave rumored to be filled with wealth .

Players earn predetermined points for acquiring treasure and escaping the cave alive , with the goal to earn the maximum number of points offered .

The concept bore out from Crowther 's background as a caving enthusiast , with the game 's cave structured loosely around the Mammoth Cave system in Kentucky .

Óttar (mythology)

In Norse Mythology , Óttar , also known as Óttar the Simple , is a protégé of the goddess Freyja .

He appeared in Hyndluljóð ( the Lay of Hyndla ) , a poem in the Poetic Edda .

In this tale , Óttar is said to be very pious to the goddesses .

He built a shrine of stones , a hörgr , and on it made many offerings to Freyja .

The goddess answered his prayers and went on a journey to help him find his pedigree .

Freyja disguised Óttar as her boar Hildisvini ( the Battle - Swine ) and brought him to the giantess Hyndla , a seeress .

There , Freyja forced Hyndla to tell Óttar about his ancestors , as well as to give him a memory potion so that he would remember all that he was told .

It has been theorized that the framework of the poem was created for the 12th - century poet to produce a list of mythical heroes ' names .

The poem does not connect much to other poems in the Edda , and is often viewed as a semi - historical work .

Viktor Rydberg theorized that Óttar is another spelling of the name Óðr .


Goodbyeee

" Goodbyeee " , or " Plan F : Goodbyeee " , is the sixth and final episode of the British historical sitcom Blackadders fourth series , entitled Blackadder Goes Forth .

The episode was first broadcast on BBC1 in the United Kingdom on 2 November 1989 , shortly before Armistice Day .

Apart from the one - off short film made a decade later , it was the last episode of Blackadder to be produced and transmitted .

The episode depicts its main characters ' final hours before a British offensive on the Western Front of the First World War , and Captain Blackadder 's attempts to escape his fate by feigning madness ; after he fails to convince General Melchett , and Field Marshal Haig 's advice proves useless , he resigns himself to taking part in the push .

Goodbyeee has a darker tone than other episodes in the series , culminating in its acclaimed ending in which the main characters are assumed to die in machine - gun fire .

The episode 's theme of death ties in with the series ' use of gallows humour , its criticism and satire of war , and its depiction of authority figures contentedly sending their subordinates to face the enemy , while unwilling to do so themselves .

Richard Curtis and Ben Elton wrote the episode , and further material was provided by cast members .

Its final sequence , which shows the main characters going " over the top " , uses slow motion , as the programme 's creators were unhappy with the result of the scripted ending .

The enhanced scene has been described as bold and highly poignant .

The Piano Lesson

The Piano Lesson is a 1987 play by American playwright August Wilson .

It is the fourth play in Wilson 's The Pittsburgh Cycle .

Wilson began writing this play by playing with the various answers regarding the possibility of " acquir[ing ] a sense of self - worth by denying one 's past " .

The Piano Lesson received the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Drama .

A Romare Bearden painting , The Piano Lesson , inspired Wilson to write a play featuring a strong female character to confront African - American history , paralleling Troy in earlier Fences .

However , on finishing his play , Wilson found the ending to stray from the empowered female character as well as from the question regarding self - worth .

What The Piano Lesson finally seems to ask is : " What do you do with your legacy , and how do you best put it to use ? "

Set in 1936 Pittsburgh during the aftermath of the Great Depression , The Piano Lesson follows the lives of the Charles family in the Doaker Charles household and an heirloom , the family piano , which is decorated with designs carved by an enslaved ancestor .

The play focuses on the arguments between a brother and a sister who have different ideas on what to do with the piano .

The brother , Boy Willie , is a sharecropper who wants to sell the piano to buy the land ( Sutter 's land ) where his ancestors toiled as slaves .

The sister , Berniece , remains emphatic about keeping the piano , which shows the carved faces of their great - grandfather 's wife and son during the days of their enslavement .

Resignation from the United States Senate

A member of the United States Senate can resign by writing a letter of resignation to the governor of the state that the senator represents .

Under Article I , Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States , and under the Seventeenth Amendment , in case of a vacancy in the Senate resulting from resignation , the executive authority of the state ( today known in every state as the governor ) can fill the vacancy by appointment unless the state legislature has provided for a special election to fill the vacancy .

Whenever a senator needs to be appointed or elected , the Secretary of the Senate mails one of three forms to the state 's governor to inform them of the proper wording to certify the appointment of a new Senator .

The first resignation from the Senate was that of William Paterson of New Jersey on November 13 , 1790 , who resigned in order to accept the office of Governor of New Jersey .

His resignation was only the third time a person ceased to hold a seat in the Senate , which had first convened during the preceding year , 1789 .

The earlier ones resulted from the death of Senator William Grayson of Virginia , and the expiration of the term of the temporary senator John Walker of Virginia , who was appointed by the Governor of Virginia to hold that office until a successor could be elected in November .

Nine senators resigned during that year – a record high number that stands to this day .

Most resignations have been motivated either by declining health or a decision to accept another office .

Sixteen persons have resigned from the Senate twice and two have resigned three times .

This disaster provoked a general rising of the Mapuche and the other indigenous people associated with them .

They succeeded in destroying all of the Spanish settlements south of the Bio - bio River and some to the north of it ( Santa Cruz de Oñez and San Bartolomé de Chillán in 1599 ) .

After this disaster , the following Governor , Alonso de Ribera , fixed a border and took the suggestions of the Jesuit Luis de Valdivia to fight a defensive war .

As a demonstration of peaceful intentions , he gave them up in 1608 .

Pelantaro was captured in 1616 and held for a year and a half until after the death of the governor Alonso de Ribera .

He was released by his successor Fernando Talaverano Gallegos in a vain attempt to establish a peace with the Mapuche .

Mimolette

Mimolette is a cheese traditionally produced around the city of Lille , France .

In France , it is also known as Boule de Lille after its city of origin , or vieux Hollande for being made after the tradition of Edam cheese .

It was originally made by the request of Louis XIV , who – in the context of Jean - Baptiste Colbert 's mercantilistic policies – was looking for a native French product to replace the then very popular Edam .

To make it distinct from Edam he seasoned it with annatto to give it a sweet and nutty flavor and a distinct orange color .

It normally weighs about 2 kg ( approximately 4.5 pounds ) and is made from cow 's milk .

Its name comes from the French word mi - mou ( feminine mi - molle ) , meaning " semi - soft " .

This refers to the softness of the crust when young – with age it becomes harder .

It has a grey crust and orangish flesh .

The orange color comes from the natural seasoning , annatto , which has a sweet and nutty flavor .

The cheese has a similar appearance to a cantaloupe melon .

The greyish crust of aged Mimolette is the result of cheese mites intentionally introduced to add flavor by their action on the surface of the cheese .

Mimolette can be consumed at different stages of aging .

When younger , its taste resembles that of Parmesan .

Many appreciate it most when " extra - old " ( extra - vieille ) .

At that point , it can become rather hard to chew , and the flesh takes a hazelnut - like flavour .

The cheese was known to be a favorite of French President Charles De Gaulle .

As time went by , the villagers also converted to Christianity .

In the winter of 1867 , priest Xu Yang Mei took Wong Nai Siong as an assistant and taught him the Bible .

This led to Wong Nai Siong 's learning English and being exposed to Western culture and thinking .

When asked his reason for converting to Christianity , he explained that he was appalled by the disparity between the teachings of Confucius and the actions of those who professed Confucianism .

Niko Nirvi

Niko Nirvi ( born 1961 ) is a long - term major icon in the Finnish gaming world .

He is well known for writing computer game reviews since the 1980s in MikroBitti , C = Lehti and the computer game yearbooks that were predecessors of the Pelit magazine .

He has worked for the latter since its founding in 1992 , and holds a column in addition to making reviews and other reports .

Nirvi began his career as a game reviewer in 1986 on pages of MikroBitti .

He had made a bet with his friend that he could get his review published in the magazine .

He sent two reviews , and Uridium and the former was published ( they already had one Uridium review ) .

Nirvi wrote reviews and a regular column about new games for Mikrobitti and became the " game editor " of the magazine .

When Pelit , that concentrated solely on gaming , was founded by the same publisher , Nirvi joined its ranks as an editor , and has written a regular column for each issue .

Trademarks of his are signing with " Nnirvi " or a variation , and never showing his face in the magazine .

Photos of him are always either covered or edited in a way that the face is unrecognizable .

His personal picture in his articles is usually a gaming or movie character whose face is blurred ( for example Master Chief ) while the rest of the crew 's articles feature their real faces .

Wallu 's drawings of Nirvi depict him as a bearded man with Spock 's Vulcan ears .

According to Nirvi , his avoidance of publicity started in 1988 , when a MikroBitti reader asked for a photograph of him , which Nirvi instantly declined , and this avoidance has strengthened ever since .

Nirvi 's style is typically humorous , and sometimes unorthodox .

Some of Nirvi 's most unconventional reviews were published in C = Lehti .

The review of Domark 's motorboat game Hydra was written as a nursery rhyme from the beginning to the end .

The review of Battle Island contained just two words : ” Paska Commando - klooni . "
