# Gestad

58°32′51″N 12°26′53″E﻿ / ﻿58.54748°N 12.44796°E﻿ / 58.54748; 12.44796
Gestad (Swedish pronunciation:) is a parish in the Dalsland part of Vänersborg Municipality, Sweden, located about 20 km north of the city of Vänersborg and 10 km east of the village Brålanda. The parish includes both farmland and forests. It has its border with the great lake Vänern in the east and is in the middle of Dalbo plain.
At the location of a former church (300 m north of the present church) there is a monument in honor to the old church and of Lieutenant General Axel Erik Roos, who is buried on the site. The monument was erected in 1919. Roos was an officer in the army of King Karl XII and is well known for having three times the same day saved the life of the king during the so-called kalabaliken (skirmish) in Bender, Moldova. Gestad was previously dominated by the manor Lövås situated around 1 km southeast of the church. The parish was previously known for the extensive cultivation of oats. Oats were exported in the late 19th century, to a large extent, inter alia, to the London area (horse fodder). The Gestad area has been characterised by the words: "Heaven and oats".
Church attendance has previously been high in Gestad. In the parish there are two churches belonging to the Church of Sweden - Gestad and Timmervik churches - and also a mission chapel that is of interest.
In Gestad church, built 1796-1799 and consecrated in 1800, is a very old baptismal font ("dopfunt") in sandstone. It is known that it was made sometime in the 12th or 13th century. There is also a ”dopfat” made in Nuremberg, Germany at the end of the 15th century, donated to the church by General Roos´ family.
The church previously stored general Roos´ sword and spurs, but these were stolen in a burglary in the 1980s and have never been found. The painting over the altar was added in 1914 and is a drawing by Hj Tessing. The painting shows when Jesus walked on water.
Every year, in early July, there is a major meeting in Gestad with the display of tractors and ploughing.
The author Per Olof Ekström (1926–1981) was born, raised and lived in Gestad. He engaged in farming while he was also a writer. Ekström wrote nearly 50 books. Best known to the general public is the book Sommardansen, which formed the basis for the movie One Summer of Happiness (Hon dansade en sommar). The book reflects, in literary form, the mood among rural youth in the late 1940s.
Near the church, at a place named Murängen, has been found the foundations of a larger building. One theory is that there was a larger courtyard country manor from the Viking Age, or some time later. The manor probably also had a smaller church or chapel. A major archaeological excavation took place in the years 1986 to 1990.
Sikhall bathing place, and camping is in the parish.
The school of Skerrud covers grades 1 to 6.
# Focus Theatre

The Focus Theatre (Irish: An Amharclann Fócais) in Dublin, Ireland, was a small theatre which, for more than fifty years, offered a variety of plays from new and established writers, from its foundation in 1967 until its closure in 2012.

## History

In April 1963, the Irish American actor Deirdre O'Connell founded the Stanislavski Acting Studio - "the first actor-training studio of its kind in Ireland" - at the Pocket Theatre, in Dublin's Ely Place. The premises were soon sold, leading to several years where O'Connell temporarily housed the studio in a variety of city-center locations, including Westland Row, Kildare Street, the Pike Theatre (until it closed in 1964), and Fitzwilliam Square. In 1967, O'Connell's husband, Luke Kelly of The Dubliners, put up most of the capital to purchase and renovate a disused factory at 6 Pembroke Place. The site had been found by Declan Burke-Kennedy, a journalist and dramatist, who became a co-founder of the Focus Theatre, together with his wife, Mary Elizabeth. The theatre aspired to present the best of contemporary and classic world drama, and to develop new plays, and used Stanislavski's system "to explore the human condition through the craft of the actor". It opened on 29 September 1967, with a production of Doris Lessing's Play With a Tiger. More than two hundred and fifty productions were staged at the theatre. Several notable actors were associated with the Focus, including Gabriel Byrne, Brendan Coyle, Sabina Higgins (wife of the President of Ireland), Olwen Fouéré, Tom Hickey and Bosco Hogan. When Deirdre O'Connell died in 2001, Joe Devlin took over as artistic director.
The Focus Theatre closed in April 2012 due to funding issues. The building at Pembroke Place, now Mutiny Theatre, operates as a 39-seat theatre and screening room.

# Hal Taussig

Hal Taussig is a retired professor and a progressive United Methodist pastor, and author focusing on early Christianity.

## Biography

Taussig received a B.A from Antioch College, and M.Div. from Methodist Theological School in Ohio and a Ph.D. from Union Institute & University. He taught at Union Theological Seminary for 17 years; as well as Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and Chestnut Hill College; and was co-pastor at Chestnut Hill United Church in Philadelphia; as well as a fellow of the Jesus Seminar. He is a supporter of grassroots liberal or progressive Christianity.
Taussig was chair of the 19-member council of scholars and religious leaders which compiled the book A New New Testament, which added 10 newly discovered texts from early Christianity such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and the Acts of Paul and Thecla to the standard New Testament canon. Although Taussig doesn’t believe the New Testament is incomplete, he believes new material "elucidates it and expands it." Some of the choices for books to include have been controversial, with some authors saying they shouldn't have included new texts at all, and others saying even more should be added.
Taussig has also authored and co-authored multiple books including After Jesus Before Christianity, Jesus Before God, Re-imagining Life Together in America and Jesus and Wisdom's Feast. After Jesus Before Christianity, which was co-authored with Erin Vearncombe and Brandon Scott, explores early Christianity in line with Walter Bauer's Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity which argues that the early Christian movement was much more diverse than previously believed; as well as exploring concepts of family, identity, and gender in the early church.
# Iamblichus (phylarch)

Iamblichus I (Imperial Aramaic: 𐡉𐡌𐡋𐡊𐡅, romanized: Yamlīḵū; died 31 BC) was one of the phylarchs, or petty princes of the Arab tribe of the Emesenes in Emesa (now Homs, Syria). He was the son of Sampsiceramus I and is first mentioned by Marcus Tullius Cicero in a despatch, which he sent from Rome to Cilicia in 51 BC, and in which he writes that lamblichus had sent him intelligence about the movements of the Parthian troops of Pacorus I. Cicero speaks of Iamblichus as well disposed to the republic.
In 48 BC, Iamblichus I, Antipater the Idumaean, Ptolemy and other allies of the Romans, joined the campaign of Mithridates II in Egypt to support Julius Caesar, who was besieged in Alexandria. In the mid-40s BC, he supported the rebellion of Quintus Caecilius Bassus.
In the war between Octavianus and Mark Antony in 31 BC, lamblichus supported the cause of the latter. But after Gnaeus Domitius had gone over to Octavianus, Antony became suspicious of treachery, and accordingly put lamblichus to death by torture, along with several others.
Antony's suspicions were apparently excited against lamblichus by his own brother Alexander, who obtained the sovereignty after his brother's execution. But Alexander was shortly afterwards taken by Octavianus to Rome to grace his triumph, and then put to death. At a later period (20 BC) his son, Iamblichus II, obtained from Augustus the restoration of his father's dominions.

# Crimean-Circassian War (1569)

The Crimean-Circassian Wars of 1569 was a military conflict between the Crimean Khanate and the Kabardian Principality.

## History

After the complete defeat of the Turkish-Crimean troops near Astrakhan in 1569, the remnants of the Ottoman and Crimean Tatar armies began to retreat along the so-called "Kabardian road" leading through the Caucasus. Exhausted and demoralized troops hoped to return to the Crimea, but Circassians, warlike mountaineers who knew these territories well, stood in their way.
Circassian detachments, skillfully using their knowledge of the terrain and combat experience in mountainous conditions, staged a series of ambushes on weakened Ottoman-Crimean soldiers. Despite the numerical advantage of the enemy at the beginning of the campaign, after the defeat at Astrakhan, the Turkish-Crimean forces were significantly weakened, which gave the Circassians the opportunity to deliver a decisive blow.
The Circassians not only defeated a significant part of the army, but also captured prisoners en masse, which led to the final collapse of the campaign and huge losses for the Ottoman-Crimean forces.
