# ÖVB Arena

ÖVB Arena (originally Stadthalle Bremen, formerly Bremen-Arena and AWD-Dome) is the largest indoor arena in Bremen, Germany. It is used for concerts, sports and trade fairs.

## History

The arena was designed and built by the Austrian architect Roland Rainer in the years 1961 to 1964.
It used to be called Stadthalle Bremen until the financial services provider Allgemeiner Wirtschaftsdienst (AWD) bought the naming rights in January 2005. Contrary to what the new name suggests, the AWD-Dome is in fact not a dome. The name "Dome" was probably chosen because an AWD-Arena already exists in Hannover. At the same time €50 million were invested into the venue to modernize and expand it from 3,500 to 14,500 seats. The architect Thomas Klumpp led these renovations. When AWD withdrew its sponsorship at the end of 2009, the venue was renamed to Bremen-Arena, effective 1 January 2010. On 11 September 2011, the arena became known as the ÖVB Arena.

## Events

The Six Days of Bremen are a yearly event in January, held here since 1965.
On November 31 1980, Queen performed a concert during The Game Tour.
On 12 March 1999, American rock band KISS played the venue on their Psycho Circus Tour. The local fire marshal banned the use of any pyrotechnics. But at the end of the show, KISS blew up a concert worth of pyro all at once. After that incident, KISS were banned from playing Bremen in the future.
The AWD-Dome had been used in the 2007 World Men's Handball Championship.
Depeche Mode performed at the venue several times, including when it was still called Stadthalle Bremen. Other performances include on November 1, 2009, during their Tour of the Universe and December 3, 2013, during their Delta Machine Tour, in front of a sold-out crowd of 11,949 people.

# Conifer swift

The conifer swift moth (Korscheltellus gracilis) is a swift moth considered a forest pest in eastern and central North America, from Canada south to North Carolina. Larvae feed primarily on roots of evergreen trees, and are weakly polyphagous, able to survive on deciduous trees (e.g. birches, Betula) but preferring balsam fir and red spruce. They penetrate bark, but lesions on roots are shallow. These wounds may, however, provide easy entry for pathogenic fungi and nematodes. K. gracilis has been shown to reduce survival on saplings, but adult trees have been found with more than 30 feeding scars on their roots. But trees that are weakened by air pollution or changes in soil chemistry may invite K. gracilis infestation. Adults can be found in woody areas between June and August. They are cryptically colored, but are active for 20–40 minutes each dawn and twilight, and occasionally come to light. In the conifer swift moth, courtship, mating, and egg laying occur during evening hours; only oviposition occurs in the morning. They are Exoporia, and females scatter eggs while in flight. It takes two years for the larvae to mature, so populations tend towards two-year cycles. Females emit pheromones to attract males, from organs on their hind wings.
# Turkey lobby in the United States

The Turkey lobby in the United States is a lobby that works on behalf of the Turkish government in promoting that nation's interests with the United States government.

## Influence

In 2009 the Turkish lobby spent almost $1.7 million lobbying American officials on issues important to the Turkish government. Lobbyists working on behalf of and paid by the government of Turkey include former Congressman Dick Gephardt and former Congressman Bob Livingston.
According to ProPublica, in 2007-8 paid, professional lobbyists acting on behalf of the government of Turkey had more contacts with members of congress than lobbyists acting for any other foreign government.
According to ProPublica, Turkey is one of "The Top Players in Foreign Agent Lobbying," spending $3,524,632 lobbying the American government in 2007 and 2008 alone.
According to the Sunlight Foundation, the government of Turkey "has consistently lavished millions each year on well-connected Washington lobbying firms."

## Efforts against Armenian genocide recognition

The Turkish lobby worked "intensely" to prevent the passage of HR 106, the United States resolution on Armenian genocide. The New York Times writes that, "former Representative Robert Livingston (Bob Livingston) has been the main lobbyist for Turkey in blocking congressional efforts to pass an Armenian genocide resolution." In 2010 The Washington Post wrote that the Armenian genocide resolution "prompted an aggressive push by the government of Turkey and its lobbying firm led by former House majority leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.), who had urged recognition of the Armenian genocide when he was in Congress. Public-relations firm Fleishman-Hillard also has a contract with Turkey worth more than $100,000 a month, records show. A "contingent of members of the Turkish parliament visited Washington" to lobby on behalf of the Turkish view.
According to The Washington Post, "The Turkish government has spent millions on Washington lobbying over the past decade, much of it focused on the Armenian genocide issue. The country's current lobbyist, the Gephardt Group, collects about $70,000 a month for lobbying services from the government in Ankara, according to federal disclosure records. Another group, the Turkish Coalition of America, has targeted the districts of committee members who are considered potential swing votes, including submitting op-eds to local newspapers from the group's president."
The Turkish lobby's efforts were finally overcome by motions by both the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States in 2019 to affirm the Armenian genocide as a matter of US policy.

# Costard

Costard is a comic figure in the play Love's Labour's Lost by William Shakespeare. A country bumpkin, he is arrested in the first scene for flouting the king's proclamation that all men of the court avoid the company of women for three years. While in custody, the men of the court use him to further their own romantic endeavors. By sending love notes to the wrong women and blurting out secrets (including that of an unplanned pregnancy), Costard makes fools of the royal court. Along with Moth the page and Jaquenetta, a country wench, Costard pokes fun at the upper-class. While mocking a pedantic schoolmaster, Costard uses the word honorificabilitudinitatibus, the longest word by far from any of Shakespeare's works.
Costard makes many clever puns, and is used as a tool by Shakespeare to explain new words such as remuneration. He is sometimes considered one of the smartest characters in the play due to his wit and wordplay.
Costard's name is an archaic term for apple, or metaphorically a man's head. Shakespeare uses the word in this sense in Richard III.

# Jan Baptist Wolfaerts

Jan Baptist Wolfaerts (Antwerp, baptized on 15 November 1625 – Antwerp (?), between 1671 and 1687) was a Flemish painter known for his pastoral landscape with shepherds and cattle and Italianate landscapes. He trained in Antwerp and subsequently worked for extensive periods in Italy and the Dutch Republic.

## Life

Wolfaerts was born in Antwerp as the son of Artus Wolfaerts, a prominent painter of religious and mythological scenes. His father was likely his first teacher. When Jan Baptist was 16 years old, his father died. it is believed he then traveled to Rome via Paris. There is no evidence for this trip but the italianate aspects in some of his early works from between 1644 and 1646 make such a trip likely.
In 1647 he was recorded in Haarlem where he joined the local Guild of Saint Luke. A decade later the artist was in Rome as evidenced by a document of 1658 referring to him as Giovanbattista Ulfard, fiamengo. The next year he was back in Haarlem where he remained until 1671. He bought on 11 January 1659 a house at the Koningstraat in Haarlem. In July 1661 he had a son out of wedlock. There are reports that in the mid-60's his mental health deteriorated and he went back to his family in Antwerp. By 1665 he had returned to Haarlem, but his mental health problem made him move back to Antwerp once more. In September 1671 there are further reports on the artist who was back in Haarlem about his continuing confused state of mind.
That his work was highly regarded in his time is borne out by its presence in contemporary Dutch inventories. His works were sold through the Amsterdam dealer Van Meldert who carried five examples in 1653 and were in the collection of artist and art collector Abraham de Pape of Leiden.
It is not clear when or where he died but it may have been in Antwerp.

## Work

Jan Baptist Wolfaerts was a specialist landscape painter who is known for his Italianate landscapes with figures. His early works included italianate townscapes. His principal subject was pastoral landscapes with shepherds and their herds. Such landscapes would on occasion include depictions of Italianate buildings. He also painted some more typically Dutch landscapes with fewer figures, which are closer to his Haarlem contemporaries. Haarlem painters Nicolaes Berchem and Salomon Rombouts were clearly influential on the artist. This is evident in his Italianate pastoral scenes, some of which have previously been attributed to Berchem.
