# The Silences of the Palace

The Silences of the Palace (Arabic: صمت القصور, romanized: ṣamt al-quṣūr) is a 1994 Tunisian film co-written and directed by Moufida Tlatli. The film investigates issues of gender, class and sexuality in the Arab world through the lives of two generations of women at a prince's palace. Seen through the eyes of an attractive young wedding singer, it exposes the sexual and social servitude of a group of women in an elaborate palace during the French Protectorate in Tunisia. Tlatli wrote the film in response to her own mother's sudden severe illness and her subsequent realization of how little she knew about her life.

## Plot

Set in 1950s Tunisia, the film is about a 25-year-old woman, Alia, who returns to her place of birth—a prince's palace in which her mother, Khedija, worked as a house servant and mistress. Alia had fled the palace ten years earlier, at which time she spent burying tortured memories of her childhood. In her visit to pay respects for the death of the prince, Alia wanders through the largely abandoned palace where she is confronted by these memories represented as detailed flashbacks of her childhood. She begins to piece together a narrative about her mother's sexuality and sexual exploitation in a space ordered by gender and class difference, and is re-awakened to her persistent questioning about her father's identity. As Alia negotiates her past, she also deals with her current relationship to her lover, Lotfi, who has asked her to have what seems to be yet another abortion. Her development throughout the film contrasts her awakening to a past of sexual and social servitude which many of the female servants experienced in the palace against her own contested independence fraught with pain, conflict and uncertainty.

## Critical reception

The film received positive attention at the New York Film Festival in 1994; New York Times critic Caryn James describes the film as a "universal coming-of-age story with a feminist twist." After wider release in 1996, the Los Angeles Times drew attention to Tlati's depiction of feminist issues in Tunisia and praised her "flowing, sensual style", calling the film "brutal" and "tender". Paul Sedra's 2011 article describes the continued relevance of Silences of the Palace in Arabic studies.

## Plot

The winners of a state lottery, a cross section of the citizens of Buenos Aires, have received tickets for a mysterious luxury cruise. Summoned to meet in a popular café and escorted under the cover of darkness to the secret location of their ship, they embark without knowing where they are headed. Within hours the ship stops; the passengers are informed that a disease has broken out among the crew and that they will be confined to a small section of the ship. In suspense, the passengers mull over their pasts and the future, form attachments and suspicions, tell secrets, explore desires. While some of them merely accept their confinement, others are increasingly driven to confront the crew, leading to an outbreak of violence.

## Writing and publication

The novel was published in France under the name Les Gagnants in 1961.
The book was reprinted in 1999 as part of the inaugural catalogue of New York Review Books.
# Nagasaki-e

Nagasaki-e (Japanese: 長崎絵) is a genre of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, produced in Nagasaki during the Edo period, that depict the port city of Nagasaki, the Dutch and Chinese who frequented it, and other foreign curiosities such as exotic fauna and Dutch and Chinese ships. They were mostly produced for merchants who traveled to Japan on business. Japanese people also bought such prints as they were curious about foreigners, with whom they couldn't meet themselves. Nagasaki-e print were also sold in Edo, Osaka, and provinces. Nagasaki was the only port that foreigners were allowed to visit in Tokugawa time, between 1641 and 1859.
Technically, Nagasaki-e print were made on paper of inferior quality, with "earlier examples were made with gasenshi, a Chinese-style paper containing tan tree fibers (Pteroceltis tatarinowii maxim), rice-straw, and bleached bamboo. Sometimes, printers rubbed the colorants into the papers with horizontal or vertical strokes rather than the traditional circular motions used in nishiki-e." The first nagasaki-e prints were made in the late 1720s. "The range of subject matter was wide, including foreign couples, children, families, pets, exotic birds and animals, female beauties, courtesans, landscapes, cityscapes, ships, maps, and military events." Style was similar to that of Chinese nenga (年画).
Production of these souvenir prints "grew out of an earlier map-making industry". Several publishing houses produced the prints, among them Hariya (針屋), Toshimaya (豊島屋), Yamatoya (大和屋), and Bunkindō (文錦堂). For most publishers nagasaki-e wasn't their main business. One of the first examples of nagasaki-e prints were panoramic maps of the city, that were very popular and were printed for many years without any change.
Most prints are anonymous, probably because the majority of authors were amateurs "who worked in foreign-trade positions in Nagasaki". One of the best-known authors is Kawahara Keiga, who had access to many Dutch paintings with the help of Franz von Siebold, who worked for the Dutch government at the Nagasaki port.

# Karumariamman Temple, Penang

The Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple of Seberang Jaya is a South Indian Hindu temple noted for having the largest rajagopuram, or main sculpture tower, in Malaysia. It stands at a height of 72 feet (22 m). The entrance of the rajagopuram, at 21 ft (6.4 m) tall and 11 ft (3.4 m) wide, is also the biggest in Malaysia.
The Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple, as with many Hindu temples in Malaysia, had its humble origin over a hundred years ago as an estate temple catering to the needs of the estate workers living in the Paduma Estate in Perai. The area where the estate was located was turned into the new township of Seberang Jaya in the 1970s, resulting in the removal of two temples located in the area. Nevertheless, in response to the demand of the residents, the Penang State Government granted a piece of land for the building a new Hindu temple.
Work on the new temple began in 1996. Dato Seri S. Samy Velu, the Minister of Works, laid the foundation stone of the temple on 16 February 1997. The temple was completed at the cost of RM2.3 million, and dedicated to the Hindu deity Arulmigu Karumariamman, a mother deity among the rural South Indians.

# Fleetside Rovers F.C.

Fleetside Rovers F.C. was an association football club from Gatehouse of Fleet, Kirkcudbrightshire, active just before the First World War.

## History

The first match recorded for the club was a 6–2 defeat at St Cuthbert's Wanderers in September 1901.
Its first competitive football came in the Law Cup, for senior clubs in Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire, in 1901–02, its first game in the competition being a defeat at Barholm Rovers a month before it joined the Scottish Football Association. The club continued entering the competition until the last time it was held, 1906–07, and lost every tie. It did however reach the final of the Wigtownshire & District Cup in 1906–07, losing to Creetown Volunteers; the final was played twice after the Rovers successfully protested against the eligibility of one Arnott, but the Rovers lost both matches 2–0.
From the 1908–09 season, the club started to enter the Southern Counties Cup and the less-prestigious Potts Cup, and again continued its run of losing. The club drew at the 5th K.O.S.B. in the Southern Counties Consolation Cup in 1908–09, but lost the replay, which was affected by such crowd violence against the "incompetent" referee that the Rovers' ground was closed, and the club banned from playing within 5 miles of Gatehouse, for 2 months.
It looked as if the club had finally won a tie when it beat Dalbeattie Star in the first round of the Southern Counties in 1910–11, but the tie was replayed after a protest that J. Clark of the Rovers only was not registered in time for the tie, and Star eventually won through. The club did get revenge in the Potts Cup that year, a 2–0 win over Star, with a goal in each half, being the club's only win in the competition.
The 1910–11 season marked the club's last appearance in the Southern Counties and Potts Cups. It lasted one year longer with entries to the Scottish Qualifying Cup, but, again, other than a 6–6 draw with Stranraer on its debut in the competition in 1902–03, it lost every match it played.
The club made preparations for the 1912–13 season, but barely (if ever) seems to have played, having withdrawn from the Southern Counties association in May 1912. After an 8–3 win over Twynholm to open the 1913–14 season, the club seems to have given up.

## Colours

The club wore the following colours:
* 1901–03: black and white
* 1903–09: primrose and pink
* 1909–14: green and white

## Ground

The club played at Standingstone Park in Gatehouse, which was notably isolated, being 6 miles from the nearest railway station. The ground may have been the area marked out at the top of Castramont Road, next to the cemetery.

# Városlőd

Városlőd (German: Waschludt) is a village in Veszprém county, Hungary. Its partner town (sister city) is Wiesthal, Germany.

## History

Városlőd, or Waschludt (German), was established after the end of Ottoman rule in 1699, when German settlers from Mainz, the Rhine area and the Spessart came to the region. It was a popular migratory area due to its woods and the rich resources of clay and ore. Thus, many settlers built glass and iron-hammer factories or worked as lime-burners. The first foreman was Rubner Péter János who had come to Városlőd from the region of Linz with his family and a group of iron workers. Business leaders and Foremen that followed were of German origin as well, such as Michael Gasteiger from Upper Bavaria and Ferdinand Adler from Moravia who came from a famous dynasty of glass factory owners.
Alongside the craftsmen, the manufactures of Városlőd played a big role in the city's economy. Vince Stingl and Károly Stingl founded a small pottery in the early 19th century which soon was very successful. They mostly produced tableware but also water bottles, vases, pots, jars and tiles. For some time, they even had their porcelain painted in Városlőd. Later on, Vince Stingl founded the now famous Herend Porcelain Factory.

## Culture

Városlőd has a long history of German culture, and has a German Culture Museum in the city The village also has a heritage museum which displays everyday objects of Danube Swabians. The Museum preserves the traditions of Germans of Hungary and frequently offers events, such as the Ball of Swabians. Furthermore, the local choir and folklore dance group have a 40-year-old tradition of Hungarian and Swabian performances which contribute to the commemoration of the history of Danube Swabians.
The baroque church, which was built on the foundations of a former gothic monastery, is worth visiting. The monastery was the site of the Érdy Codex of 1527. In the park next to the church, a memorial for displaced people can be found which commemorates the partnership between Városlőd and the Bavarian Wiesthal. Furthermore, a hero memorial displaying Városlőd's victims of World War I and II can be seen.

## Demographics

In the census of 1941, 86 percent of the inhabitants registered as native speakers of German.
