# Melbourne Zoo Carousel

The Melbourne Zoo Carousel is a restored Victorian era carousel (or merry-go-round) in Melbourne Zoo, Victoria, Australia. The carousel was manufactured in England in 1878 and then brought to Australia in 1886 by a family that ran a touring carnival, visiting country towns in Victoria. After touring with the carnival for over 60 years, in 1952 the carousel became part of a fun fair at the Melbourne Zoo, but was still owned by the same families. When the fun fair at the zoo was permanently closed in 1997, the carousel was purchased by the zoo. By that time, the carousel was in a deteriorated condition. It was restored off-site in 2004-2005 with funding from Heritage Victoria and re-opened in August 2005. The carousel is listed by Heritage Victoria as a heritage place.

## History

The carousel was manufactured by Robert Tidman and Sons of Norwich, England in 1878. In that year, Robert and Frederick Tidman were granted a patent for the design of a carousel driven using bevel and spur gears, and powered by a small steam engine.
The carousel was brought to Australia by John and Margaret Briggs in 1886. The Briggs and Freeman families operated the carousel in a touring carnival, visiting country towns in Victoria for over 60 years. In 1952, the carousel was established in a permanent home as part of a fun fair at Melbourne Zoo in Parkville. The carousel was installed in a former giraffe enclosure and was operated by Briggs and Freeman Entertainments.
In February 1996, the carousel was listed by Heritage Victoria as a heritage place with VHR number 4738.
By the late 1990s the carousel was in a deteriorated condition, but remained as part of the fun fair until 1997, when the fair was closed. Melbourne Zoo purchased the carousel because of its historic connection with the zoo, but the rest of the fun fair was sold off.

## Restoration

By 2004, a project to restore the carousel was underway, with funding from Heritage Victoria. The main mechanical restoration work was carried out in Castlemaine, but an artist Patricia Mullins undertook the repainting of the carousel horses in a studio in Fitzroy. The restoration included new paintings and surrounds for the rounding boards. Following completion of the restoration, the carousel was re-opened on 7 August 2005, after being off-site for six years. Dorrie Freeman from the original owner's family was present at the re-opening.

## Description

The carousel rotates clock-wise, typical of English-made carousels. It has a three abreast configuration of 30 carved horses, along with two replica fibreglass elephants. The original horses were made by G & J Lines, London, and 20 of these remain. The 10 outside row horses were replaced in the 1970s with German-made horses, also from the late 19th century. The centre panels of the carousel feature etched glass mirrors, with carved floral decorations above.
The carousel was originally powered by a Tidman centre-mounted steam engine. The Tidman engine was refurbished during the restoration and remains in place, but is not operational.
A custom-made modern enclosure with transparent plastic curtains protects the carousel from the weather.

The play focuses on the relationship between servants, the cook Beyle, and the upstairs rich, the Landlord. One memorable servant song from the 1889 play "Bitter is the food That gets burnt, Bitter is it to work Beyond your strength", was later recycled and included into the 1949 and 1969 Jewish Theatre, Warsaw production of The Gold Diggers. The play was revived after the Revolution among the repertoire of the Moscow Yiddish Chamber Theater (GOSET) in the 1920s. It was set as an opera Congratulations! (Russian: «Поздравляем!» , Op. 111) by Mieczysław Weinberg in 1975.
# Me, Myself and I (play)

Me, Myself and I is a 2007 play by Edward Albee. It is an absurdist family comedy/drama.

## Synopsis

The play tells a complex story of Mother, who has an intimate relationship with Doctor, and who has problems telling her 28-year-old sons apart. Part of the problem may be that she has named her two sons “OTTO” and “otto”—an example of what the Doctor calls “symmetry, yes, but not logic”. The play begins when OTTO tells his mother that he's leaving home to become Chinese and that his brother no longer exists. This upsets otto, who has been searching for some kind of confirmation that he is alive. Maureen, otto's girlfriend, becomes drawn into this. Word games and semantics, ideas about the various meanings and aspects of love, along with riffs on various cultural references, abound in this play.

## Production history

Me, Myself and I was first produced in 2008 at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey. It was directed by Emily Mann with set design by Thomas Lynch and costume design by Jennifer von Mayrhauser. The cast consisted of Tyne Daly (Mother), Michael Esper (OTTO), Brian Murray (Dr.), Charlotte Parry (Maureen), Stephen Payne (the Man) and Colin Donnell (otto).
Ben Brantley, in a 2008 review for The New York Times, wrote that Me, Myself and I is “in the tradition of Mr. Albee’s mid- and late-career works like The Marriage Play and The Play About the Baby: fragmented philosophical vaudevilles that turn the most fundamental questions of identity into verbal soft-shoes. It also harks back to his early exercises in absurdism (including the one-acters The Sandbox and The American Dream), coal-black comedies from a time when brash young writers reveled in toppling theatrical traditions."
The play premiered in New York at Playwrights Horizons in September 2010. The cast featured Elizabeth Ashley (Mother), Zachary Booth (OTTO), Brian Murray (Dr.), Natalia Payne (Maureen), Stephen Payne (the Man) and Preston Sadleir (otto).

The album was announced on 1 December 2021 and scheduled for released on 25 February 2022 but on 9 February, the band delayed the release until 8 April 2022 citing "a desire to tie its launch in to their forthcoming national tour" in a press conference.
According to the band, Maybe There's No Heaven is their most authentic. In December 2021, frontman Shaun Diviney said, "There was a tension between the band that we wanted to be and the band that other people around us wanted to be". Drummer Bradie Webb added the album "isn't in any way what someone else told us we should be. [We] finally have our hands on the steering wheel."

Rock 'n' Load Mag said "The Aussie punk-rock trio are back with a-10 track banger that will make their dedicated fan base very happy indeed" calling the album, "possibly their finest work to date."
Tamara May from Wall of Sound wrote: "Their first release in over a decade, Maybe There’s No Heaven celebrates everything we love about Short Stack and under a heavy music label like UNFD for the first time, it’s an album that the boys feel more in control of." May concluded the review saying "Maybe There’s No Heaven manages to fit everything we've heard from the trio, plus a few experimental surprises inbetween that are bound to keep the fans by their side. This album sees the boys joining the rest of the world in the emo-pop revolution and presents the band’s truest form yet. These songs will no doubt encourage even more pop punk listeners on the Stack train."

# Mehdi-Khan Qasemlu

Mehdi-Khan Qasemlu (Persian: مهدی خان) was the first khan (governor) of the Erivan Khanate from 1747 to 1752 during the reign of Nader Shah.

## Origin

He descended from the Qasemlu branch of the Afsharid clan.

## Biography

After the assassination of Nader Shah on the night of July 19-20, 1747, great confusion arose and claims to the throne began to be made from all sides. In this struggle the nephew of Nader Shah Ali-Quli Khan was temporarily brought to power under the name of Adel Shah. However, the new shah could not prevent the emergence of independent feudal khanates.
At that time, the governor of Tabriz Amir-Aslan Khan sent Mir-Mehdi Khan, one of the Afshar generals with his troops to Yerevan to crush the uprising. However, Mehdi Khan himself came to an agreement with the rebels, joined them and began to lead the uprising. Moreover, he together with the Kurd and Afshar tribes joined forces and opposed Amir-Aslan Khan with about 30,000 troops. The united troops attacked the city of Urmia, captured all the treasures of the Khan located there and divided them among themselves. Soon after this event, Ebrahim Shah, who came to power by overthrowing Adel Shah defeated and killed Amir-Aslan Khan.
Mehdi Khan pursued a policy of expanding the territory of his khanate and to this end he again attacked the Urmian Khanate in 1748. The ruler of Urmia Fath-Ali Khan was defeated and was forced to cede certain areas of his khanate to Mehdi Khan.
However, in the summer of 1749, the Erivan khanate itself was attacked by Karabakh khanate. Panah Ali Khan with 4,000 troops crossed the borders of the Erivan Khanate and moved to the lands around Etchmiadzin. For protection from Muslims, the Armenians turned to king Heraclius II of Georgia for help. Heraclius II gathered troops and sent them against the khan of Karabakh. Having suffered a heavy defeat in battle, Panah Ali Khan retreated.
Mehdi Khan decided to punish the Armenians who secretly contacted the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti. Then the king Teimuraz II of Kakheti moved to Yerevan in September 1749 with a 25,000-strong army, taking advantage of the call of the Armenians. Unable to resist Mehdi Khan stops making peace with Teimuraz II. On November 22, the Georgian troops left the khanate and returned.
After that, Fath-Ali Shah sent his ally Azad Khan Afghan there at the end of 1751. Mehdi Khan turned to Heraclius II, who then sent him an army consisting of the Kazakh and Borchaly tribes, and thus Mehdi Khan repulsed the attacks of Azad Khan.
Taking advantage of the weakening power of the khan of Erivan, Fath-Ali Shah decided to capture Yerevan. Under the leadership of Azad Khan, in 1751, a 30.000-strong army was sent to Yerevan, besieging the Erivan fortress. The Georgian king moved to the city to protect Yerevan, but his troops were defeated in the battle. Thus, Mehdi Khan was removed from power, and Khalil Khan Uzbek was appointed as a khan of Erivan Khanate in 1752.
