Boating on the River Epte

Boating on the River Epte ( also known as The Canoe on the Epte ) is an 1890 oil painting by French impressionist artist Claude Monet .

It is currently housed at the São Paulo Museum of Art .

Between 1887 and 1890 Monet concerned himself with portraying scenes from the River Epte , which bathed this property at Giverny .

The sisters Suzanne and Blanche Hoschedé posed for this series of pictures , their late father being banker Ernest Hoschedé , a patron of the arts and collector of Monet , and their mother , Alice , who became Monet ’s second wife .

This series began with La Barque Rose ( private collection ) and also worthy of mention are canvases La Barque à Giverny ( Musée d'Orsay , Paris ) and En Barque ( National Museum of Western Art , Tokyo ) .

The São Paulo Museum of Art picture , which also has a preparatory study , was mentioned by the artist himself on a letter to critic and friend Geffroy , dated June 22 , 1890 : “ I am again vexed by things that are impossible to do : water with undulating vegetation on the bottom ” .

In fact one of the more singular characteristics of The Canoe on the Epte in the Monet context is the proximity of the water , which assumes at the lower part of the composition an almost tactile reality , as if the painter for once did not want to depict the luminous reflections of its surface , but its depth .

Although it belongs to a series , the masp work is in this particular a unique case .

Monet here announces materiality , and it is necessary to remember that this new visual dimension of water will only be obtained again over thirty years later in his paintings of the 1918 - 1924 period .

His friendship with photographer Nadar and his genuine interest in photography explain the framing of the composition as well as the out - of - focus effect produced by the movement of the boat on the water to be seen in the Hoschedé sisters .

In addition , a possible source of the São Paulo Museum of Art composition , as has been detected , is the Harunobu engraving , titled Woman Collecting Lotus Flowers .

Elaine Marley

Elaine Marley – Threepwood is a fictional character in the Monkey Island series of graphic adventure video games .

Created by Ron Gilbert for LucasArts , the character first appears in The Secret of Monkey Island and is one of the core characters in the franchise .

Originally conceived as a ruthless island governor , the character evolved during development into the protagonist 's love interest .

While the first two games in the series did not feature voice acting , Elaine was voiced by Alexandra Boyd in The Curse of Monkey Island and by Charity James in Escape from Monkey Island ; Boyd would reprise the role for later entries in the franchise .

Elaine is the governor of the Tri - Island Area , a fictional group of pirate islands in the Caribbean .

She is loved by the undead pirate LeChuck , who never ceases to pursue her affections and attempts to turn her into his undead bride , but Elaine instead falls in love with hapless protagonist Guybrush Threepwood .

Elaine is consistently kidnapped by LeChuck , prompting Guybrush to attempt a rescue , although Elaine is usually more than capable of escaping predicaments by herself .

She eventually marries Guybrush and relinquishes her gubernatorial responsibilities to her grandfather , travelling with Guybrush to the fictional Gulf of Melange to cure the outbreak of a voodoo - empowered pox .

The character has enjoyed positive critical reception .

Several sources commended Elaine 's aberration of the damsel in distress stereotype .

Elaine has been ranked on a number of lists regarding the best female characters in the video game industry , and has received praise for her visual design and resilient personality .

Critics have also complimented Boyd 's and James ' voice acting for the character in the later installments of the series , though some expressed disappointment at the character 's reduced lines in The Curse of Monkey Island .

Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo

" Mr. Hankey , the Christmas Poo " is the ninth episode of the first season of the American animated television series South Park .

It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on December 17 , 1997 .

In the episode , the Jewish character Kyle feels excluded from the town 's celebrations during Christmas , and is comforted by Mr. Hankey , a talking and singing lump of feces wearing a red hat .

Mr. Hankey does not come alive in the presence of other characters , so they think that Kyle is delusional .

In another plot strand , the townspeople remove all religious aspects of Christmas from South Park to remain politically correct and inoffensive .

The episode was written and directed by the series ' co - creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone .

The Mr. Hankey character was based on an idea from Parker 's childhood ; when Parker and Stone conceived the South Park series , they wanted to make Mr. Hankey the lead character .

Heavily influenced by the Peanuts Christmas special A Charlie Brown Christmas from 1965 , " Mr. Hankey , the Christmas Poo " was the first Christmas - themed South Park episode , the first musical episode , and the only episode in season one ( and therefore the first time in the series ) in which Kenny does not die .

It was a satire of political correctness and religious sensitivity .

The episode received generally positive reviews and has been described as one of the classic South Park episodes .

It was viewed in about 4.5 million households during its original broadcast , the highest Nielsen rating to that date for South Park and the fourth - highest overall for a basic cable entertainment program of 1997 .

In addition to Mr. Hankey himself , the episode introduced the popular South Park songs " A Lonely Jew on Christmas " and " Kyle 's Mom is a Big Fat Bitch " .

John Kricfalusi , the creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show , accused Parker and Stone of stealing the idea for Mr. Hankey from him , which the duo vehemently denied .

Islam in Sudan

Islam is the largest religion in Sudan , and Muslims have dominated national government institutions since independence in 1956 .

According to UNDP Sudan , the Muslim population is 97 % , including numerous Arab and non - Arab groups .

The remaining 3 % ascribe to either Christianity or traditional animist religions .

Muslims predominate in all but Nuba Mountains region .

The vast majority of Muslims in Sudan adhere to Sunni Islam of Maliki school of jurisprudence , deeply influenced with Sufism , making Sudan one of the most tolerant Muslim majority countries in the world .

There are also some Shia communities in Khartoum , the capital .

The most significant divisions occur along the lines of the Sufi brotherhoods .

Two popular brotherhoods , the Ansar and the Khatmia , are associated with the opposition Umma and Democratic Unionist Parties respectively .

Only the Darfur region is traditionally lacking the presence of Sufi brotherhoods found in the rest of the country .

Shari'a law has been installed by various military regimes , and its application to non - Muslims in the capital was a contentious issue during the negotiations , but it and the other major issues underlying the north / south conflict have been largely resolved in the agreements [ citation needed ] .

Shari'a is to continue to be the basis of the national legal system as it applies in the north ; national legislation applicable to the south is to be based on " popular consensus , the values , and the customs of the people . "

In states or regions where a majority hold different religious or customary beliefs than those on which the legal system is based , the national laws may be amended to accord better with such beliefs .

Throughout the country , the application of Shari'a to non - Muslims is to be limited , and courts may not exercise their discretion to impose the harsher physical forms of Shari'a penalties on non - Muslims .

Sudan has had three democratic governments since 1956 , all of which abolished Shari'a law .

Carlos Sastre Candil (; born 22 April 1975 ) is a former Spanish professional road bicycle racer and winner of the 2008 Tour de France .

He consistently achieved great results in the Vuelta a España and equally good showings in the Tour de France .

In fact , with respect to doping allegations and admissions that have surrounded Tour winners in recent decades , Sastre has been called " Don Limpio " ( " Mr . Clean " in Spanish ) by the press and others .


Ghana–Togo relations

The strains in Ghana – Togo relations stretch back to pre - independence days .

After 1918 , following the defeat of Germany , the League of Nations divided the German colony of Togoland from north to south , a decision that divided the Ewe people among the Gold Coast , British Togoland , and French Togoland .

After 1945 , the United Nations took over the Togoland mandates .

During the 1950s , when the independence of Ghana was in sight , demands grew for a separate Ewe state , an idea that Kwame Nkrumah , leader of the Gold Coast independence movement , opposed .

Following a UN plebiscite in May 1956 , in which a majority of the Ewe voted for union with Ghana , British Togoland became part of the Gold Coast .

After Togolese independence in 1960 , relations between Togo and Ghana deteriorated , aggravated by political differences and incidents such as smuggling across their common border .

At times , relations have verged on open aggression .

The result of the transfer of Togoland to Ghana has meant that many Togolese keep one foot on either side of the border , living in Ghana by night and working in the markets of the capital , Lomé , by day .

Anachlysictis

Anachlysictis gracilis is an extinct carnivorous mammal belonging to the group Sparassodonta , which were metatherians ( a group including marsupials and their close relatives ) that inhabited South America during the Cenozoic .

Unlike other remains assigned to the family Thylacosmilidae ( a group of metatherian predators equipped with " saber teeth " ) that had been found previously , Anachlysictis is the first record of such borhyaenoids in northern South America , and also most primitive and ancient in the family ( in fact , is the first confirmed record that did not belong to the genus Thylacosmilus , until the official publication of Patagosmilus in 2010 ) .

This species was found in the Villavieja Formation in the area of La Venta in Colombia , a famous fossil deposit in the Middle Miocene ( Laventan ; 13.8 - 11.8 million years ago ) , based on fragments that include a front portion of the lower jaw , with an incipient molar tooth and a piece of carnassial from the front of the maxilla .


Boshin War

The , sometimes known as the Japanese Revolution , was a civil war in Japan , fought from 1868 to 1869 between forces of the ruling Tokugawa shogunate and those seeking to return political power to the Imperial Court .

The war found its origins in dissatisfaction among many nobles and young samurai with the shogunate 's handling of foreigners following the opening of Japan during the prior decade .

Increasing Western influence in the economy led to a decline similar to other Asian countries at the time .

An alliance of western samurai , particularly the domains of Chōshū , Satsuma and Tosa , and court officials , secured control of the Imperial Court and influenced the young Emperor Meiji .

Tokugawa Yoshinobu , the sitting shōgun , realizing the futility of his situation , abdicated political power to the emperor .

Yoshinobu had hoped that by doing this , the Tokugawa house could be preserved and participate in the future government .

However , military movements by imperial forces , partisan violence in Edo , and an imperial decree promoted by Satsuma and Chōshū abolishing the house of Tokugawa led Yoshinobu to launch a military campaign to seize the emperor 's court in Kyoto .

The military tide rapidly turned in favor of the smaller but relatively modernized imperial faction , and after a series of battles culminating in the surrender of Edo , Yoshinobu personally surrendered .

Those loyal to the Tokugawa retreated to northern Honshū and later to Hokkaidō , where they founded the Ezo republic .

Defeat at the Battle of Hakodate broke this last holdout and left the imperial rule supreme throughout the whole of Japan , completing the military phase of the Meiji Restoration .

Around 120,000 men were mobilised during the conflict , and of these about 3,500 were killed .

In the end , the victorious imperial faction abandoned its objective to expel foreigners from Japan and instead adopted a policy of continued modernization with an eye to eventual renegotiation of the unequal treaties with the Western powers .

Due to the persistence of Saigō Takamori , a prominent leader of the imperial faction , the Tokugawa loyalists were shown clemency , and many former shogunate leaders and samurai were later given positions of responsibility under the new government .

When the Boshin War began , Japan was already modernizing , following the same course of advancement as that of the industrialized Western nations .

Since Western nations , especially the United Kingdom and France , were deeply involved in the country 's politics , the installation of Imperial power added more turbulence to the conflict .

Over time , the war has been romanticized as a " bloodless revolution " , because of the small number of casualties .

Phase-out of incandescent light bulbs

Governments around the world have passed measures to phase out incandescent light bulbs for general lighting in favor of more energy - efficient lighting alternatives .

Phase - out regulations effectively ban the manufacture , importation or sale of incandescent light bulbs for general lighting .

The regulations would allow sale of future versions of incandescent bulbs if they are sufficiently energy efficient .

Brazil and Venezuela started the phase - out in 2005 , and the European Union , Switzerland , and Australia started to phase them out in 2009 .

Likewise , other nations are implementing new energy standards or have scheduled phase - outs : Argentina , and Russia in 2012 , and the United States , Canada , Mexico , Malaysia and South Korea in 2014 .

Objections to replacement of incandescent lamps for general lighting mainly include the higher purchasing cost of alternative light bulbs .

To mitigate the effects of these concerns , various programs have been put in place ranging from subsidies for lamps to improved standards for measurement of performance and for labelling products .

Manufacturers develop fluorescent lamps with reduced mercury content compared to original designs , and recycling programs are intended to prevent mercury release .

New lamp types offer improved starting characteristics , and dimmable types are available .

Sustainability at American Colleges and Universities

Sustainability , as defined by the 1983 Brundtland Commission , formally the World Commission on Environment and Development ( WCED ) , states “ development which implies meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs ” .

As sustainability gains support worldwide , universities across the United States have begun to take initiatives toward more sustainable campuses .

Alongside student - run projects , drastic changes in administration , energy efficiency , and food and recycling have sprung up in Ivy League schools and liberal arts colleges alike .

The American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment is an evident effort to address global climate disruption consisting of a network of colleges and universities that have made institutional commitments to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions on campus , and to promote the research and educational efforts of higher education to prepare society to re - stabilize the earth ’s climate .

Oberlin College in Ohio features the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ( LEED ) Gold certified music facility , while Yale University in New Haven , Connecticut has pledged that all new buildings will meet these same Gold standards .

LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system created by the U.S. Green Building Council .

This ranking system offers an incentive for building owners to implement green design , construction , efficient operations and eco - friendly solutions over the years .

Buildings are responsible for about 40 % of total carbon emissions .

And so by including these green buildings , schools are decreasing carbon emissions , conserving water and energy and saving money each month .

Princeton and Ohio University have both made strides toward cutting yearly carbon emissions on campus ; While Florida Gulf Coast University has implemented solar energy throughout various buildings .

A number of universities across the U.S. have created bicycle stations providing rentals to students and staff alike in an effort to reduce the burning of fossil fuels and automobile congestion as well .

Car sharing like rechargeable Zipcars and reliable public transit have also helped incentivize more eco - friendly schools .

These changes towards sustainability offer colleges a moral and ethical fulfillment as well as economic and financial benefits .

Likewise , these universities are responsible for training future generations in sustainable practice .

By offering students these more Earth friendly options , faculty and staff can ensure the well being of lands and resources for generations to come .


The Revolutionary Liberation Movement Tupaq Katari ( Spanish : Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Katari de Liberación , MRTKL ) is a left - wing political party in Bolivia .

In 1985 , Jenaro Flores Santos split from the Tupaj Katari Revolutionary Movement and founded the Revolutionary Liberation Movement Tupaq Katari .

Cárdenas eventually edged out his rival .

The MRTKL took part in 1989 elections , running Víctor Hugo Cárdenas .

Although the indigenous candidates attracted large crowds , they found that many campesinos already were committed to the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement , the Revolutionary Left Movement , or other parties that had a better chance of winning .

On the Pathos of Truth

" On the Pathos of Truth " ( German : Über das Pathos der Wahrheit ) is a short essay by Friedrich Nietzsche concerning the motivation of philosophers to seek knowledge as an end in itself .

Nietzsche identifies this motivation with pride .

On this point the essay prefigures theories concerning a destructive " will to truth " that Nietzsche discusses in On the Genealogy of Morals , Beyond Good and Evil , and The Gay Science .

As an illustration of a motivated seeker of truth , Nietzsche takes Heraclitus , although he also discusses Pythagoras and Empedocles .

He recounts Heraclitus as being psychologically distant from other people , due to being aware of truth while others are not :

Nietzsche 's focus is on the psychology and social life of the philosopher , identifying misanthropy and seclusion as the result of being motivated toward knowledge itself , regardless of any features of the philosopher 's cosmology , physics , or epistemology .

Nietzsche concludes the essay by identifying a need to have art along with knowledge .

Art is necessary because it adds emotion and purpose to society .

Knowledge is limited ; for example , a knowledge of matter and motion will not reveal any purpose in the universe .

While the motivation for knowledge in itself brings about insights which help society , art allows constant variation which can affirm a sense a purposiveness , which is an emotional need of individuals .

" On the Pathos of Truth " was written in 1872 , and was intended to be a preface or foreword , but no book was ever written to follow it .

Nietzsche , however , did collect it , along with four other such prefaces to unwritten books , and gave the edition to Cosima Wagner as a Christmas present .
