# Alfons Grieder

Alfons Grieder was a Swiss rudimental drummer who spread awareness of the Basel Drumming style in America during the mid to late 20th century through his traveling, teaching, and publications.

## Biography

Grieder was born in Basel, Switzerland in 1939 and began studying Basel style snare drumming with Dr. Fritz Berger in 1949. He came to the United States in the 1950s to study classical percussion with teachers like Saul Goodman and Morris Goldenberg. Starting in 1957, Greider worked with Dutch drummer Rob Verhagen to organize Basel drumming workshops in The Netherlands.
In the 1960s he visited the Deep River Drum Corps's annual muster, reportedly inspiring the corps to start a subsidiary group called the Swiss Mariners. At the muster he noticed that the ancient American Fife and Drum Corps tradition was very similar to that of his native Basel. Grieder eventually took American Ancient drumming back to Switzerland and taught Swiss drummers to play in the American style. He would later tour around the United States visiting other drum corps teaching and promoting Fritz Berger's version of Swiss drumming.
In 1968, he had an article published in the Ludwig Drummer periodical about Swiss rudiments, which he followed in 1969 with a vinyl LP, demonstrating the Swiss Basel style of drumming, entitled, Das Basler Trommeln. Swiss rudiments have been incorporated into both the PAS 40 International Drum Rudiments of 1984, and into several Drum Corps International hybrid rudiments because of Grieder's and his mentor Berger's teaching and promotion of the Swiss style.
Grieder's goal in America was to become a professional orchestral percussionist, and he did indeed perform and record Rolf Liebermann's Geigy Festival Concerto several times, but was unable to sustain a career in percussion performance. He also worked as an insurance analyst to fill the gap. Back in Switzerland he became a member of the Fastnacht Society and was the director of their drum school for many years. In 1974, Greider performed at a Basel event called the Sticksland Meeting Two, which was captured as a live audio recording by George Gruntz. He also appeared at the Internationales Schlagzeug- und Percussion-festival in Metzingen, Germany in 1996 with the Basler Trommel-Ensemble.
Grieder performed at the Percussion Creativ Symposium and Hanover, and in November 2002, he performed at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention with the American Basel-style ensemble Americlique. A few months later, in April 2003, he died of cancer.
Among Grieder's students are drum book author and orchestral percussionist Steve Fitch, snare drummer, instructor, and composer Ben Dijkgraaf, President of The Pipes and Drums of Basel Gilbert Widmer, and Arkansas State University professor of percussion Craig Collison.

# Mande Kaba

Mande Kaba is a name associated with the proposed capital of the medieval Mali Empire. The location and identity of Mande Kaba have been subjects of ongoing historical debate and scholarly inquiry, as no definitive archaeological evidence has confirmed its existence. The name appears frequently in Mandé oral traditions, where it is referred to as the heartland of imperial Mali's power and wealth.
Historians have yet to agree on whether Mande Kaba was a real historical city, an amalgamation of multiple locations, or a purely mythical construct used in storytelling.
The controversy around the identity of Mande Kaba has been heightened by the attempts of colonial and postcolonial powers to define its location to serve political ends. The French, seeking to create cantons in their colonial region of Kabala, initially pushed a largely unsubstantiated narrative of Kaba being the capital of Imperial Mali. The later French pronouncement of Niani being the lost capital was equally flawed and propped up by the colonial government to serve their means.

# Douw Fonda

Douw Jellise Fonda (1700–1780) was a prominent settler and trader in the Mohawk Valley of New York State. The village of Fonda, New York is named for him.
Douw Fonda was born in Schenectady, New York on August 22, 1700, the third child of Jillis (or Jelles) Adam and Rachel (Winnie) Fonda. He married Maritje Vrooman on October 29, 1725. Around 1751, he moved to Caughnawaga. The couple had seven children. Maritje died in 1756, and apparently Douw remarried, to the widow Deborah (Veeder) Wimple.
Fonda "conducted a flourishing trading business" in Caughnawaga.
In 1780, Sir John Johnson led a party of about 528 Loyalists and Mohawk warriors on a raid into the Mohawk Valley. Many residents fled the area, but Fonda decided to stay and fight. On May 22, 1780, he was captured by a Mohawk called "One Armed Peter", with whom he was acquainted, tomahawked, and scalped. Fonda had been a longtime friend of Johnson's father Sir William Johnson, and Johnson was unhappy about the killing. In fact, he had made it a practice to spare many, who had been his neighbors before the Revolution. Johnson rebuked Peter for the killing, but Peter replied that "as it was the intention of the enemy to kill him, he thought he might as well get the bounty for his scalp as any one else!"
Two of Douw Fonda's sons, John and Adam, were taken prisoner in the raid and taken to Canada.

The event was celebrated with the unveiling of an eco-friendly ship in 2019 and with the opening of a centre for maritime traffic control and management in crisis situation in 2021.
The date was chosen in remembrance of the passing of the Resolution on Maritime Strategy of the Republic of Slovenia on 7 March 1991. The resolution consists of three parts: 1) The declaration that Slovenia is a maritime country; 2) the undertaking to use the coastal region in a sustainable way, and 3) the undertaking to observe the international maritime rules. It is a short document that contains the general development orientations for Slovenian maritime sector. Opinions on how well it has been put to use are mixed.
Slovenia, which has 46.6 kilometres (29.0 mi) of the coast along the Adriatic Sea in the Gulf of Trieste, operates the Port of Koper with over 20 million tons of annual goods handling, the Faculty of Maritime Studies and Transport in Portorož, the Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum in Piran, and the Piran Marine Biological Station.

# Regulation and Supervision Bureau

The Regulation and Supervision Bureau is the independent regulator for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi responsible for the oversight of water, wastewater and electricity.

## History

The Regulation and Supervision Bureau was founded in 1999 following the passing of an Emirate law reference Law No (2) of 1998. During 1997 and 1998 a privatisation committee was formed by the Abu Dhabi Government to study the UK model of un-bundling and privatisation of the then Water and Electricity Department (WED) which was a government owned vertically integrated organisation. Eventually, the WED Sector was broken into 12 companies including: production (4 off), transmission(TRANSCO), distribution and supply (2 off: ADDC and AADC) a single buyer and a number of smaller companies such as the remote services and islands grouping(RASCO, later merged into ADDC/AADC).
One of the guiding principles of the new law was the promotion of privately funded power and water production companies, generally referred to as independent water and power producers (IWPPs). As of August 2014 10 such companies have been established using project finance as the basis for a build, own and operate BOO model. The latest addition being Al Mirfa located some 120 km West of the capital Abu Dhabi.

## Income Structure

The Regulation and Supervision Bureau (RSB) is not funded by the Government of Abu Dhabi but by the application of licence fees to licence holders. As of August 2014, there are over 40 licence holders in the Sector.

# Dean Goffin

Sir Dean Goffin (9 July 1916 – 23 January 1984) was one of New Zealand's first prolific Salvation Army composers who composed not only music for the Army but for non-Army bands as well.
He grew up in a musically active Salvation Army family, his father a famous bandmaster and composer of popular marches. From a very young age he was active in the musical life of New Zealand, both in and out of the Salvation Army, becoming, at the age of 19, bandmaster of the famed Wellington South Corps. During World War II he served as a military musician, forming and training the band of the 20th Infantry Battalion of the 4th Brigade that was active in the Middle East.
Goffin was the first major Salvation Army composer to complete a bachelor in music from the University of Otago in 1950. Shortly after he trained to become a Salvation Army Officer, serving initially in New Zealand, then in Great Britain where he held the positions of National Bandmaster (1956-1960) and National Secretary for bands and Songster Brigades (1960-1966). Transferred back to New Zealand (1966), Goffin assumed senior administrative positions culminating in his appointment as Territorial Commander (1980). Goffin was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 1983 Queen's Birthday Honours.
His major works include: Meditation - The Light of the World; Symphony of Thanksgiving, written for the International Staff Band of The Salvation Army in 1951 for their Diamond Jubilee Celebration; and Rhapsody In Brass, selected for the 1949 British Open Brass Band Championships at Belle Vue. Rhapsodic Variation - My Strength My Tower was conceived as a test piece for Brass Band but its publication was prevented by his commissioning as a Salvation Army officer, until it was modified for publication as by the Salvation Army.
