# Concordia (1696 ship)

The Concordia was a Dutch sailing ship of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, commonly abbreviated to VOC) that left Batavia on 15 January 1708 with two other vessels, Zuiderburg and Mercurius. Concordia had 130 people on board and was bound for the Cape of Good Hope and then the Netherlands. She was last sighted by Mercurius in open seas to the south of the Sunda Strait on 5 February 1708, in bad weather.

## History

Built in 1696, Concordia was a large ship for her day, being approximately 900 tons. On 15 January 1708, under the command of Joris Vis, the Concordia set out from Batavia on a return trip to the Netherlands with two other VOC ships; Zuiderberg and Mercurius. Of the 130 passengers and crew on board, there were several women returning home and some Balinese being deported from the Dutch East Indies to the Cape of Good Hope, due to bad conduct.
Only the Mercurius reached the Cape of Good Hope. The Captain of Mercurius reported that Concordia and Zuiderburg had last been sighted together in open seas to the south of Sunda Strait on 5 February 1708, in bad weather. On 22 February, the crew of Mercurius found floating debris. They saw several goods in the water, some firewood, a chest of tea, a Chintz piece of cotton, a carpenters boor, white candles, and the staves for barrels. The Concordia was officially listed as being lost somewhere near Mauritius in 1708.
One known passenger aboard the Concordia was Mr Constantijn van Baerle, a VOC official.

## Leeds Mercury hoax

In 1832, a covert English expedition to inland Australia commanded by a Lieutenant Nixon reportedly discovered a group of white Dutch people (300 people) living in a desert oasis believed to be Palm Valley in the Northern Territory. The existence was first reported in February 1834 in the English newspaper Leeds Mercury. There were other articles in a Dutch scientific journal, and the Perth Gazette of 1837.
The newspaper story claimed that Nixon had spoken to the settlers in a broken form of old Dutch, and the leader or chief of the group was a descendant of an officer whose name was "van Baerle". The party remained with the group for eight days.
Nixon stated:
   ... their fathers were compelled by famine, after the loss of their great vessel, to travel towards the rising sun, carrying with them as much of the stores as they could, during which many died; and by the wise advice of their ten sisters they crossed a ridge of land, and meeting with a rivulet on the other side, followed its course and were led to the spot they now inhabit, where they have continued ever since.
Despite extensive research, no trace or direct evidence of the settlers has ever been found. Historians now believe the original 1834 Leeds Mercury story was a hoax.
# Bill Crowley (sportscaster)

William C. Crowley (born 1920 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, died December 1, 1996, in Needham, Massachusetts) was an American sportscaster.
Crowley called New York Yankees games (often paired with Dizzy Dean on the team's telecasts) from 1951 to 1952, and Boston Red Sox games from 1958 to 1960. A World War 2 bomber pilot with the U.S. 8th Air Force division, he served as a sports reporter for the Dayton, Ohio Journal-Herald, switching to Dayton radio station WONE in 1949. A year later he became the play-by-play announcer of the Dayton Indians of the Central League before leaping to Yankee Stadium in 1951. In between his time with the Yankees and Red Sox, Crowley worked at Holy Cross, where starting in the autumn of 1952 he was a radio announcer for Crusaders football and basketball games, economics professor, and was named Athletics Publicity Director in August, 1953. In 1961, Crowley left the Red Sox' broadcast booth to become the team's public relations director, a position he held until his retirement in 1985. He died on December 1, 1996, from liver cancer.

# Gustaf af Geijerstam

Gustaf af Geijerstam (1858–1909) was a Swedish novelist. He was a friend of August Strindberg's. Many of his works were translated into German during his lifetime, and one, Äktenskapets komedi (1898), was reviewed favorable by Rainer Maria Rilke, who remarked that Geijerstam was an author "one must follow attentively from book to book." Only two of his novels were translated into English: Boken om Lille-bror (1900), as "the Book about the Little Brother" in 1921, and Kvinnokraft (1901), as "Woman Power" in 1922. Other works include Erik Grane (1895), Karin Brandts dröm (1904) and Medusas hufvud (1905).

## Debate

In 1885, a Bishop had argued that God's order required that women were not emancipated. Geijerstam then argued that men could only aspire to one day have the purity of women because they were fundamentally different, and this was the reason for prostitution and other immorality. Minna Canth objected strongly to this argument, as it meant that men could defend their poor morals by reference to their implicit shortcomings, whereas any women involved in prostitution would lack the same defence.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky's mysticism and modern psychology's exploration of the soul brought new insights. The novel Medusa's Head (1895) has received contemporary attention for its decadent turn-of-the-century atmosphere, although Melker Johnsson has argued that the novel is closer to Zola's naturalism than to a general symbolism. Claes Ahlund, however, has shown that Medusa's head as a fin-de-siècle motif frames the entire novel.

# Student Chamber of the Council of Higher Education Institutions

In the education system of the Czech Republic, the Student Chamber of the Council of Higher Education Institutions (Czech: Studentská komora Rady vysokých škol; SK RVŠ), together with the Czech Rectors Conference (Czech: Česká konference rektorů; ČKR), forms the official representation of Czech Higher Education Institutes (HEIs), on the basis of the Higher Education Act of the Czech Republic, Article 92.

## Student representation in the Czech Republic

Students of universities and colleges in the Czech Republic are represented:
* at the faculty and university level by academic senates (this applies primarily to public HEIs),
* at the national and international level by the SK RVŠ (this also applies to private HEIs).
Every HEI can join the council after paying fees for its delegates. Each HEI may send three delegates to the council, one of whom is a student. Besides that, for each faculty of an HEI, one more delegate may be deputised. An HEI's delegates are elected for a three-year term by its governing body, called the Academic Senate (this applies mainly to public HEIs).

## Objective

The main purpose of the Chamber is to represent and defend the interests of students from all public, state, military, police, and private HEIs. The Chamber approves its own Programme Declaration for each three-year election term. During the 2006–2008 term, the Chamber lobbied for diversified, quality, open, and permeable higher education systems, and also to emphasize the social dimension of higher education. One of the Chamber's proposals is to prohibit age discrimination related to student status (i.e. various advantages linked to student status before reaching 26 years). Another key issue is the reform of tertiary education (tuition fees, management-line governance and expansion of study opportunities).

## History

The SK RVŠ was established via an amendment to the Statute of the council on 5 November 1992. At that point, every HEI could send a student delegate to the Chamber, but these were not considered members of the council. This changed in 1996 when the members of the Chamber became full members of the council. The most recent changes came into force on 1 January 2006, including an increase to five delegates to the Presidium of the council.

## Internal structures

The Council consists of the Assembly, Presidium and Closer Presidium and is headed by the Chair of the council. The Chamber's Chair, two Vice-chairs and two more delegates of the Chamber, who form the board of the SK RVŠ, are automatically members of the Presidium of the council. In the Closer Presidium, elected by the Assembly of the council, the Chamber is represented by its chair.

It is an important roosting and feeding area for waterbirds, and it serves as a breeding site for the Egyptian vulture and Socotra cormorant.

## Conservation

# I. D. Ffraid

I. D. Ffraid or John Evans (23 July 1814 – 4 March 1875) was a Welsh poet and Calvinistic Methodist minister. He who was born at Ty Mawr, Llansantffraid Glan Conwy, North Wales, on 23 July 1814. At the age of sixteen he published a History of the Jews in the Welsh language, and at twenty-one he wrote Difyrwch Bechgyn Glanau Conwy, a volume of poetry. Much of his later work was contributions of prose and verse to the periodical literature of the day.
Ffraid was, for many years, a regular contributor of a racy letter to the Baner, under the name of Adda Jones. A writer in the Gwyddoniadur (the Welsh Cyclopædia) says that many of the letters remind one of Addison's Essays in their liveliness, wit, and ingenious reasonings. He strikes his opponent till he groans, and at the same time tickles him till he laughs, and the reader is amused and instructed. He translated Edward Young's Night Thoughts and John Milton's Paradise Lost. It is on this last his reputation chiefly rests, and it has received high praise in Dr. Lewis Edwards's Traethodau Llenyddol. Dr. W. O. Pughe had already translated Paradise Lost into Welsh, but the doctor's Welsh was so artificial that it was never much read. Evans died on 4 March 1876, and his remains were interred in the burying-ground of his native parish on 10 March.
