# Max Švabinský

Max Švabinský (17 September 1873 – 10 February 1962) was a Czech painter, draughtsman, graphic artist, and professor in Academy of Graphic Arts in Prague. Švabinský is considered one of the more notable artists in the history of Czech painting and produced significant work during the first half of the 20th century. He was relatively unusual among modernist artists in that his work was accepted by the communist regime; this was due at least in part to his having formed his artistic personality prior to 1900, prior to the advent of cubism. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.

## Biography

Max Švabinský was born on 17 September 1873 in Kroměříž. Together with Jan Preisler, Antonín Slavíček, and Miloš Jiránek, he was one of the founders of Czech modern art. Early on, Švabinský exhibited period tendencies towards Plenérian Realism, Symbolism, and Art Nouveau. Some of his most important early works were portraits or family-oriented paintings. Švabinský and his wife Ela often stayed with the Vejrych family in Kozlov near Česká Třebová. There he was inspired by the picturesque landscape. This is the period in which he painted some of his most famous works.
In Kozlov, at the beginning of the century, he took up graphics systematically, especially etching and Mezzotint. On account of the high quality of his graphic work, he was appointed a professor of the Prague Academy in 1910, and in the same years completed murals for the Municipal House in Prague. In the pages of Paradisiacal Sonata in 1917, he extended his range with wood engraving, at which time his graphic work began to overtake his painting. During the thirties, he had the chance to work in monumental forms. After the mosaics for the National Monument on Žižkov Hill, he painted boards for three stained glass windows of the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. At the same time, and with the same graphic skill, he was able to design in miniature for a postage stamp. At the first session of the government in 1945, he was awarded the title of “National Artist”.
Max Švabinský died on 10 February 1962. The cottage in Kozlov (near Česká Třebová, East Bohemia, Czech Republic) where Max Švabinský stayed has recently been renovated and is now open to visitors. The interior looks just the same as 100 years ago and many of Švabinský's pictures are shown there. The tour can be performed both in Czech and English. Painted "Kamelie", Camellia in 1903.
He also painted in Serbia and as such he is included in a list of Serbian alumni who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in the first decade of the 20th century.

# May Elliot Hobbs

May Elliot Hobbs (7 February 1877 – 30 December 1956) was a Scottish singer, dancer, and promoter of folk traditions. She was a teacher, organiser, and lecturer for the English Folk Dance and Song Society, of which she was a founding member.

## Early life

Adeline May Isabella Elliot was born on 7 February 187 in Selkirkshire, Scotland, the eldest of three children of Jessie and Walter Elliot. Raised among the music and dance traditions of Scotland, she later went to Germany to study piano, giving performances in Britain and Europe.
Following the death of her father in 1904, May moved to London and on 28 November 1906 married Robert Hobbs, a stock-breeder and farmer in Kelmscott, Oxfordshire. The couple had one son, Robert, born in 1907. Robert Hobbs' family owned the Kelmscott manor house rented to William Morris.

## Folklorist

In 1908, May first met Cecil Sharp, subsequently participating in folk dance demonstrations with him and becoming a close friend. She was a founder member of the English Folk Dance Society, and involved in its committee.
In 1912, she organised a folk dance demonstration in Kelmscott, at which both William Morris' widow, Jane Morris, and daughter May were present - both of whom still lived in the village. Others travelled from the surrounding villages, and further afield. Over the next two decades, Hobbs lectured and taught across the country. In 1916, she helped folklorist Janet Blunt to collect some of the Adderbury morris dances.
Hobbs became a close friend of May Morris, her neighbour in Kelmscott. The two women were both deeply concerned with rural issues and the position of women in society. They founded Kelmscott's Women's Institute in 1916—one of the earliest Women's Institutes in the UK. Both played an active role in the life and social activities of the village.
During World War I, Hobbs worked at the Ministry of Agriculture, and in 1917 was involved with the beginning of the Women's Land Army.
In 1928, Hobbs toured the United States, spending the winter in Boston and working on behalf of the city's branch of the Folk Dance Society. The following year, she accompanied the society across Canada. In an obituary for Hobbs, the Society's journal described her as having been "an active pioneer" for its work from its origins.
Lady Denman, Chairman of the National Federation of Women's Institutes, said of Hobbs:
   I know of no one with a more thorough knowledge of English country life, nor of anyone who has such a happy gift of making an interesting and inspiring speech and keeping the attention of an audience.
May Elliot Hobbs died on 30 December 1956.

# McClure and the Parson

McClure and the Parson, or Duncan McClure and the Poor Parson, is a 1916 Australian stage play adapted from the Steele Rudd story Duncan McClure and the Poor Parson (under which title the play originally debuted). Rudd himself did the adaptation. The play was presented by Bert Bailey who had great success adapting Rudd's On Our Selection.
The play debuted in 1916 and there were regular revivals thereafter.

## Reception

Reviewing a 1916 production Punch said "The characters are all typically Australian, and if thev arc slightly overdrawn the exaggeration may be pardoned for the amount of fun which the strong drawing causes." The Sydney Morning Herald said it "has less plot in it than its companion picture of out-back life, On Our Selection, and it tolles even more evidently upon a succession of practical jokes; but it is a wonderful laugh maker."
Reviewing a 1918 production the Age said the play "cannot be considered seriously, but audiences seem none the less pleased with it. Its humor is of the brond type, depending upou incongruity of character and incident more than wit. The plot is a flimsy thing— a simple story of love and a forgery, which scarcely serves to string the four acts together — but in such a play plot docs not matter. There could be no doubt about the enjoyment of the audience."

# McLean Falls

The McLean Falls on the Tautuku River in Catlins Forest Park descend a number of steep drop offs and terraces, with the very top of the waterfall, where it meets its first waterpool being 22-metres. It then descends for many more metres over a series of terraces. The McLean Falls are often described as the most spectacular in the region. However, its sister waterfall Purakaunui Falls is more visited, due to it being more easily accessible.
The entrance to the McLean Falls River Walk is three kilometres from the Southern Scenic Route on Rewcastle Road. The track from the road to the falls passes through a variety of native forest and shrub types: Rimu, Kamahi, divaricating shrubland, huge tree fuchsia, stands of olearia and podocarp forest.
A footbridge then crosses the subsidiary, Duckaday Creek, named by the early settler, Doug McLean, who used to bathe in it from time to time. The walk follows an easy grade along the Tautuku River valley with views of the river and bush. The path, including boardwalks and footbridges, is maintained by the Department of Conservation and is regularly gravelled.

# Medevi

Medevi Brunn is Scandinavia's oldest spa, located in Motala Municipality on the eastern shore of Lake Vättern, in north-west Östergötland, Sweden.

## History

The spa was founded in 1678 by Count Gustaf Soop and the royal doctor Urban Hjärne. Queen Hedvig Eleonora had a summer residence built at Medevi säteri, on the hills overlooking the village, at the recommendation of Hjärne.
Since then, people have been coming to Medevi every summer to cure themselves from ailments by drinking the mineral water and by covering themselves in mud wraps. Most buildings date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The health center was closed in 1982, but the water is still served to visitors in the summer.

## Today

Medevi has become one of the most popular resorts to celebrate the Scandinavian summer holiday of midsummer. During the midsummer weekend, daily visitors in the village often number over 10,000. The area surrounding Medevi has seen a dramatic increase in the construction of summer residences, some of which have been turned into year-round housing. The nearby beach village of Västanvik alone has over 500 such residences. Two confirmation camps are held every year, run by Hans Rhodin. Sweden's upper class 15-year-olds come for three-week stays.

## Notable people

* Alexander Bard, artist and philosopher, was born in Medevi, 1961
# Medeș

The Medeș is a left tributary of the river Crișul Repede in Romania. It discharges into the Crișul Repede in Săbolciu. Its length is 22 km (14 mi) and its basin size is 54 km$^2$ (21 sq mi).
# Media Arts and Practice

Created in 2013, Media Arts and Practice (MA+P) is the seventh degree-granting division of the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

## Degrees and Programs

The division offers two primary degree programs: a BA and a PhD in Media Arts + Practice. The PhD program, better known as iMAP, began accepting students in 2007. It is a practice-based PhD program in which students develop skills in both the theory and practice of media arts while doing doctoral level research that may be realized in an exclusively digital form. The degree was conceived by Anne Friedberg and Jen Stein with help from the program's founding director Steve F. Anderson. Other advisory faculty members include Holly Willis, Scott Fisher, Kathy Smith, Mary Sweeney, Tara McPherson, Mark Bolas, Aniko Imre, Henry Jenkins, Andreas Kratky and Norman Hollyn.
The BA in Media Arts + Practice, which began accepting students in 2013, is "an interdisciplinary storytelling program combining the study of contemporary digital media with hands-on production and research." Students learn to create media across several different platforms, such as video or interactive programming, while also studying the history and theory of media. The curriculum emphasizes the use of emerging technologies (such as virtual reality) to develop new narrative models. There is also an emphasis on media activism and social change.
The division also offers three undergraduate minors (Digital Studies, Future Cinema and Media and Social Change), an undergraduate honors designation (Honors in Multimedia Scholarship), and a graduate certificate program (Digital Media and Culture).

## Research

MA+P faculty and students actively participate in several arts-based research projects. Arts-based research is a practice by which artists and creative practitioners use their practical skillset as a method of developing original research questions and thereby contributing to the process of knowledge production. Arts-based research is unique in that it is not predetermined by desired end results; it borrows and combines many different research methodologies; and it often involves collaboration with professionals from other art and non-art fields.
Research labs at the USC School of Cinematic Arts include the Creative Media and Behavioral Health Center, the Game Innovation Lab, the Mobile and Environmental Media Lab, the Mixed Reality Lab, the Scalar Lab, the Transient Media Lab and the World Building Media Lab.
# Meet Me There

Meet Me There is a 2014 American horror film directed by Lex Lybrand. The movie, written by Brandon Stroud and Destiny Talley, is based on true stories from Talley's childhood. It premiered on April 4, 2014 as part of the New Orleans Film Society's Film-O-Rama festival. Since then, the film has played in numerous film festivals across the U.S., including the Sunscreen Film Festival, Sioux Falls Indievents, Innovative Film Festival, Beta Film Festival, and Wizard World Chicago's inaugural Bruce Campbell Horror Film Festival.

## Synopsis

Suspecting that her disturbing, fragmented memories of her childhood are responsible for their intimacy issues, Ada brings her boyfriend Calvin back to her hometown in rural Oklahoma. Hoping that facing these nightmares will help her overcome them, what they find is a town with a dark, mysterious history, and discover that some memories might be better left forgotten.

## Cast

* Lisa Friedrich as Ada
* Micheal Foulk as Calvin
* Dustin Runnels as Preacher Woodward
* Jill Thompson as Lindsay
* Megan Simon as Marlow
* David Laurence as Davis

## Production

Shooting took place in Austin, Texas during the summer of 2013. The project originally began as a generic slasher project for writers Stroud and Talley, but soon evolved into something bigger, with Stroud saying, "About halfway through it I realized that I could do something real with this and touch some feelings, thoughts and themes, so I went in a completely different direction than when I started." The film utilized crowd-funding site Indiegogo to raise more than $6,000 of its budget.

## Reception

Critical reviews for the film have been largely positive. Dave Wain of UK Horror Scene gave the film 8 out of 10, describing it as "a treat for anyone that has any kind of affection for good, honest independent horror" and saying it should be viewed as "a template for what independent horror filmmakers should seek to create". The Deadhouse also praised the film, notably the acting of Friedrich and Foulk, saying that they are "completely and utterly convincing in how they react to things".
# Mechem

Mechem is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
* Edwin L. Mechem (1912–2002), Governor of New Mexico and US Senator
* Kirke Mechem (born 1925), American composer

# Mechelroda

Mechelroda is a municipality in the Weimarer Land district of Thuringia, Germany.
# Mecistocephalus lifuensis

Mecistocephalus lifuensis is a species of soil centipede in the Mecistocephalidae family. This species was first described in 1898 by zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock based on type material found on is Lifou Island in New Caledonia, a French overseas territory in Melanesia. This centipede is notable for featuring 51 pairs of legs rather than the 49 leg pairs usually observed in the genus Mecistocephalus.

## Description

This species has 51 pairs of legs and can reach 41 mm in length. The body is yellow, but the head is a medium reddish shade of brown. Each sternite but the last features a groove down the middle. This groove is Y-shaped on the anterior segments. The last sternite is broad at the base, shaped like a triangle pointed toward the posterior end. The ultimate legs are slender.

## Phylogeny

A phylogenetic analysis of the family Mecistocephalidae based on morphology places M. lifuensis in a clade nested among other species in the genus Mecistocephalus with 49 leg pairs in a phylogenetic tree. This analysis also indicates that the ancestor of this species had 49 leg pairs. Thus, this species evolved from this ancestor through a process that added two leg-bearing segments and two leg pairs.

## Distribution

The species is found in the Loyalty Islands Province of New Caledonia.
# McLure Ferry

The McLure Ferry is a cable ferry across the North Thompson River in British Columbia, Canada. It is situated about 43 kilometres (27 mi) north of Kamloops.
Specifically, the ferry is a reaction ferry, which is propelled by the current of the water. An overhead cable is suspended from towers anchored on either bank of the river, and a "traveller" is installed on the cable. The ferry is attached to the traveller by a bridle cable. To operate the ferry, rudders are used to ensure that the pontoons are angled into the current, causing the force of the current to move the ferry across the river.
The ferry operates under contract to the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, is free of tolls, and runs on demand between 0700 and 1820. It carries a maximum of 2 cars and 12 passengers at a time. The crossing is about 100 metres (330 ft) in length, and takes 5 minutes. The ferry does not operate at times of high water or winter freeze up.
