Its main crossings include mainland Europe, such as the France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Germany; North Africa, such as Morocco and Algeria; Asia, such as China, Russia, Cambodia and Hong Kong; and the Americas, such as the United States, Canada, Peru and the Dominican Republic.

## History

Founded in 1999, Direct Ferries was launched by founder Howard Davies, and quickly expanded to serve multiple markets across the globe.
In 2016, the business received investment from private equity firm Livingbridge, and has since reported major growth worldwide.
Direct Ferries was the first European company to work with NFC (National Ferries Company) in the Sultanate of Oman, and was also the first European company to work with major ferry operators in the US.
In 2017, Direct Ferries launched a dedicated website for both the US and the Middle East, further expanding their marketing capabilities.

## Operations

Direct Ferries is a U.K. based company, and has its headquarters based in London, England, where the majority of its employees are based. The company is very internationally focussed though, with their services being offered being spread across the globe, with multiple websites based across the many different languages and countries that they serve.
Direct Ferries’ website works as a third party ticketing service that allows users to compare many different ferry routes, ports and operators. They allow access to practically any port in both Europe and North Africa, as well as many different ports in North America, Asia, and the South Pacific. They also allow you to compare prices between 220 different ferry operators, on routes that allow cars on board, as well as foot passenger only routes. The possibility to change a booked ticked is not implemented for the most ferry companies.

The Direct Ferries App was launched in 2013 for both iOS, and for Android, offering access to ferry bookings on the go.

## Criticism

Over the years, examples of problematic practices related to customer concerns have repeatedly come to light. During 2018 there was an increasing number of cases of credit card debits for ferries for which no ticket or booking confirmation was available, the European Consumer Centres Network issued a guidance for affected customers.
# Jan Jiří Heinsch

Jan Jiří Heinsch or Heintsch (German: Johann Georg Heinsch; c. 1647 – September 9, 1712) was a Czech-German Baroque style artist. Heinsch primarily painted religious-themed works (including altarpieces) as well as portraits of monastic superiors – especially for various Catholic religious orders such as the Jesuits, Knights of the Cross with the Red Star or Augustinians. He is known to have produced around 150 paintings and, in addition, extensive graphic work.

## Life

Heinsch was born in 1647 in Kłodzko (Glatz), the capital of the County of Kladsko (then part of Bohemia proper, now in Silesia, southern Poland), to a Protestant family. He lived there until at least 1678, when he moved to Prague. It is not certain where he gained a painting education in his early years. In Prague, where he joined local painters' guilds while converted to Catholicism, he learned the art of one of the best Czech Baroque painters, Karel Škréta (whom he took as his lifelong pattern); to a lesser extent was also influenced by the Italian Renaissance, particularly by Paolo Veronese. As for themes of paintings, Heinsch was inspired by thoughts of polymaths and divines Bohuslav Balbín or Jan František Beckovský.
In 1708, he entered the Augustinian monastery in Bělá pod Bezdězem in northern Bohemia, but before the end of the trial period he left; yet later painted several works for this institution.
Heinsch died in Prague on September 9, 1712.

## Works

In 1705, he painted one of his most renowned pictures – Saint Luke painting the Madonna. In 1707, together with Jan Kryštof Liška, he worked on a series of portraits of the Grand Masters of the Red Star Crusaders, where the most successful is the portrait of the former Grand Master George Ignatius Pospíchal (1694–1699). In 1710, produced the design for a statue of St. Francis Borgia on the Charles Bridge, but it was later sculpted by another Czech-German artist, Ferdinand Maxmilián Brokoff.
In addition to painting, Heinsch published several copperplate engraving illustrations. Notable are the ones featured in Societas Jesu Apostolorum imitatrix by Matthias Tanner. These illustrations depicted Jesuits' heroic deeds in the Americas and elsewhere. One example is his illustration of Fr. Andrew White who assisted the Catholics in Maryland during its founding.
In addition to Prague, his legacy is scattered throughout Bohemia and some examples also can be found in southern Moravia (churches in Brno and Uherské Hradiště).

# Velasquita Ramírez

Velasquita Ramírez (pronunciation: [βelaskita ramireθ]) (died c. 1035) was Queen consort of León as the first wife of King Bermudo II and mother of infanta Cristina Bermúdez, wife of Ordoño Ramírez.

## Biography

The family origins of Velasquita are uncertain. The inscription on a stone in the church in Deva, simply calls her filia Ranimiri ("daughter of Ramiro"). Manuel Risco, an 18th-century Spanish historian, believed that Velasquita was the daughter of King Ramiro II of León, but Velasquita never appears in medieval charters as filia Ranimiri regis, which would have been the custom at that time. Modern historians reject this filiation and believe that she could have been born to Ramiro Menéndez, son of Count Hermenegildo González and Muniadona Díaz, and his wife Adosinda Gutiérrez, daughter of Count Gutier Menéndez. This would harmonize with a document dated 5 January 999 in which Bermudo refers to Gonzalo Betótez, father of count Hermenegildo, as his (great-) grandfather.
She married Bermudo II between 980 and 11 October 981 when both appear together for the first time one year before Bermudo's reign, in a donation made by Galician count Menendo Menéndez to the Monastery of San Xulián de Samos in which Bermudo confirms as Veremudus, prolix Ordonius rex and Velasquita as uxor ipsius.
They appear together for the last time at the end of 988 and she was probably repudiated a year later in 989. In 991, King Bermudo and his second wife, Elvira García, confirm a charter together for the first time. Velasquita left the court and settled in Oviedo with her daughter Cristina, and became a nun at the Monastery of San Pelayo, whose abbess at that time was the dowager Queen Teresa Ansúrez. Medievalist Margarita Torres believes that Velasquita and Teresa both planned and encouraged the marriage of Cristina, Velasquita's daughter, with Teresa's grandson, Ordoño Ramírez thereby joining both royal lineages. Velasquita appears on 14 March 996 at the Monastery of San Pelayo confirming a donation made by her former husband, King Bermudo and his second wife Elvira. In 1024, she was also present and confirmed the charter whereby her daughter Cristina, already widowed, founded the Monastery of Cornellana where she would eventually retire.

## Marriage and issue

By King Bermudo Velasquita had one known child, Cristina Bermúdez, who married infante Ordoño Ramírez, son of her father's rival Ramiro III of León and Sancha Gómez.
Velasquita was a grandmother of Alfonso Ordóñez, Aldonza (or Ildoncia) Ordóñez (died after 1056), Ordoño Ordóñez (an important magnate and alférez of Ferdinand I of León and Castile) and Pelaya Ordóñez, known as "Doña Palla".

## Death and burial

The exact date of Velasquita's death is not known, but it was probably between 1028 and 1035. According to tradition, she was buried at the Monastery of San Salvador de Deva in Asturias, which she had founded before 1006 and had donated on 29 of August of that year to the Cathedral of Oviedo along with other properties such as the monasteries of Santa Cruz, San Juan de Abonio, and the church of San Martín de Salas.
# Karl Knipper Theatre

Knipper Theatre, Kniper Theatre or Knieper Theatre (Russian: Театр Карла Книпера) was the venue of a German theatrical troupe led by Karl Kniper which performed in Saint Petersburg beginning in 1775, and ending in 1797.

## History

The theatre building was converted from a manège (riding school), located on the Tsaritsa Meadow (Russian: Царицын луг – Tsaritsyn lug, now Ploshchad Zhertv Revolutsii – The Place of the Victims of Revolution) near the present-day Tripartite Bridge. From 1770 to 1777 it was occupied by English comedians, until they were replaced with Karl Knipper's German troupe.
In 1779 Knipper signed a contract with the Foundling Home that established the Volny Rossiysky Teatre (Вольный Российский Театр – The Free Russian Theatre). As part of this contract the Board of Trustees of the St Petersburg chapter of the Foundling Home ("Петербургский воспитательный дом" or "educational home") sent Knipper 50 of its pupils to instruct and eventually incorporate into spectacles. The composer Vasily Pashkevich was the pupils' music instructor. From 1782 to 1783 the director of the theatre was the well-known Russian actor Ivan Dmitrievsky, who performed at his benefice the famous comedy Nedorosl (Russian: Недоросль – The Minor) by Denis Fonvizin (1782). Choreographer Gasparo Angiolini and ballet dancer Francesco Rosetti were briefly dance instructors.
On 12 July 1783 the Imperial Theaters acquired the building and later Knipper's German troupe as well, but the Free Russian Theatre was dissolved. The building was renamed the Gorodskoy Derevyanny Theatre (Russian: Городской деревянный театр – The Wooden Town Theatre ) or Maly Theatre (Russian: Малый театр – Little Theatre). This existed until 1797, when it was dismantled at the demand of Paul I of Russia, because it was obstructing troop maneuvering during parades.

## Repertoire

* Guglielmi Robert und Kalliste
* Wolf Die Dorfdeputierten
* Schweitzer Das Elysium

* Mikhail Sokolovsky: The Miller - a Wizard, a Cheat and a Match-maker (Мельник – колдун, обманщик и сват – Melnik – koldun, obmanshchik i svat to the text by Alexander Ablesimov, first in 1779 Moscow, c.1795 St Petersburg)
* Ivan Kerzelli: Rozana i Lyubim (Розана и Любим – Rozana und Lyubim, four-act opera, text by Nikolai Nikolev, first in 1778, Moscow)

# The Sunflower

The Sunflower (Italian: Il Girasole) was an electoral alliance of two Italian centre-left parties for the 2001 Italian general election, namely:
* Federation of the Greens (Federazione dei Verdi)
* Italian Democratic Socialists (Socialisti Democratici Italiani, SDI)
The Sunflower was founded to benefit from the proportional list voting system employed in the election; however, the member parties received too few votes to benefit from their alliance. They did manage to enter parliament via its participation on the Olive Tree list, however, so the electoral alliance was disbanded soon afterwards.
