# Nejmeh Square

Nejmeh Square (Arabic: ساحة النجمة) or Place de l'Étoile is the central square in the Downtown area of Beirut, Lebanon. It is home to the Lebanese Parliament and its complementary buildings, two cathedrals, a museum, and several cafes and restaurants. Most notable for its Art Deco architecture, the square has become a recognizable icon of the city of Beirut worldwide.

## History

The square was developed in the 1920s when the French decided to destroy the old souks and open streets and transformed it into a modern district.
New Year's celebrations in 2019 were ranked in the top 10 in the world by National Geographic magazine.
During the 17 October Revolution, the square was the site of many protests and riots. Protesters clashed with security forces on 15 December 2019 for the second night in a row near Nejmeh Square. According to the Lebanese Civil Defense, 46 people were treated for injuries and another 14 were hospitalized. A group of counter-protesters, themselves supporters of Amal and Hezbollah, also briefly clashed with protesters until the army intervened.

## Sites
### Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral

The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint George, completed in 1772, is located directly on Nejmeh Square and is the oldest orthodox church in Beirut. Its location is believed to be directly adjacent to the site of the ancient Roman law school of Beirut. The church underwent several restorations in its history due to natural disasters, erosion, and intentional destruction. During the Lebanese Civil War, the church was burned and destroyed with most of its belongings stolen. The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Beirut began its renovation on October 16, 1995. The excavation at the site led to the discovery of the remains of three other churches and part of the Roman colonnades. These artifacts were incorporated into an underground museum directly located below the cathedral.

### Al-Abed Clock Tower

The jewel of the square is the 1930s Al-Abed Clock Tower with its four-faced Rolex clock. The clock tower was a gift from Lebanese-Mexican émigré Michel Abed. The square is also known for its noticeable population of pigeons.

### Lebanese Parliament

The Parliament building was designed by Mardiros Altounian, who was also the architect of the Al-Abed Clock Tower. The building was completed in 1934 during the French Mandate period. Advised to build in the spirit of Lebanese tradition, the architect visited the Emirs' palaces in the Chouf Mountains. He also drew inspiration from the Oriental styles developed in Paris, Istanbul and Cairo at the turn of the 20th century. The building combines Beaux-Arts architecture with elements taken from local architectural tradition, including twin and triple arch windows. The limestone façade, decorated with recessed panels, arched openings, and tiers of stalactites, clads a reinforced concrete frame that also supports the 20-meter (66 ft) diameter cupola covering the Chamber of Deputies.
# Airship (ballad)

It is a free translation from the German language Austrian romantic writings of Joseph Christian Freiherr von Zedlitz, titled Das Geisterschiff ("ghost ship", 1832). The individual fragments of Russian poem were influenced by another ballad of the same Austrian author - "Night parade" (Die nächtliche Heerschau; 1827), published in Russian in 1836 in translation by Zhukovsky.

# Baldachin of Ribes

The baldachin of Ribes (Catalan: baldaquí de Ribes) is a fragmentary altar-canopy in the Romanesque style now in the Episcopal Museum of Vic. It is the masterpiece of the so-called "Ripoll workshop" (taller de Ripoll). It dates to the second quarter of the twelfth century. The surviving fragment is only one fourth of the size of the original, which contained a central mandorla with the figure of Christ and four angels on each side.
The style of the baldachin shows strong south French influence, and borrows many features from the tympanum of Moissac Abbey, especially in the robes of Christ. The robes of the angels, however, and the hairstyles of all the figures are more typically Iberian.

# Nomad studies

Nomad studies (Russian: Кочевниковедение, romanized: kochevnikovedenie or номадистика, nomadistika) is a branch of historical and anthropological studies specialised in cultures and the history of nomad peoples, particularly the Eurasian nomads and the history of the Eurasian steppes. Studies of the Eurasian nomads influence the political idea of Eurasianism.
Among notable researchers in that field were Lev Gumilyov, Pyotr Savitskiy, Sergei Rudenko, George Vernadsky, Nikolai Trubetzkoy, Hara-Davan Erendzhen, Mikhail Artamonov, and others.
According to Savitskiy, the history of Scythians and Huns encompasses in general (within historically foreseeable events) over 12 centuries. Savitskiy claims that the nomad culture of Scythians and Huns should be considered as a culture of horse and iron.
# Maurice Gendron

Maurice Gendron (26 December 1920, near Nice – 20 August 1990, Grez-sur-Loing) was a French cellist, conductor and teacher. He is widely considered one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century. He was an Officer of the Legion of Honor and a recipient of the National Order of Merit. He was an active member of the French Resistance during World War II.
Gendron recorded most of the standard concerto repertoire with conductors such as Bernard Haitink, Raymond Leppard, and Pablo Casals (the only cellist to appear on a commercial recording under Casals's baton), and with orchestras such as the Vienna State Opera Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. He also recorded the sonata repertoire with pianists such as Philippe Entremont and Jean Françaix. For 25 years he was a member of a celebrated piano trio with Yehudi and Hephzibah Menuhin.
He also made a famous recording (earning an Edison Award) of J. S. Bach's solo cello suites.
Gendron played with many musical stars of his time, including Benjamin Britten, Dinu Lipatti and Rudolf Serkin. The 1693 Stradivarius he played, which has become known as the ex-Gendron cello, was subsequently on loan to German cellist Maria Kliegel.
Gendron taught at the Musikhochschule Saarbrücken, the Yehudi Menuhin School and at the Paris Conservatoire. His students include Colin Carr, Chu Yibing and Jacqueline du Pré. In 2013 a former student alleged that Gendron was abusive toward young students during his time at the Yehudi Menuhin School in the '60s and '70s. Richard Hillier, the headmaster at YMS, has said he is aware of the allegations but that according to school documents, no concerns were raised about Gendron's behaviour. Other students of Gendron have described him as a very strict, even problematic teacher, but an influential one.
Gendron was the first modern cellist to record Boccherini's Concerto in B-flat in its original form (he discovered the original manuscript in the Dresden State Library) instead of Grützmacher's version. This recording has been widely acclaimed by critics and is considered a classic. He gave the first Western performance of Prokofiev's Cello Concerto with the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Walter Susskind, and was subsequently given exclusive rights to the piece's performance for 3 years.
His approach to cello playing is summed up in his book "L'Art du Violoncelle", written in collaboration with Walter Grimmer and published in 1999 by Schott [ED 9176; ISMN M-001-12682-3].
Gendron is the father of the actor François-Éric Gendron.
Apart from several other currently available recordings, in 2015 Decca launched a 14-CD boxset, "L’Art de Maurice Gendron" (catalogue number 4823849), which comprises all his recordings for Decca and Philips in addition to some of his most relevant work for EMI.

# Pedro Fernández Manrique

Pedro Fernández Manrique (c. 1500–1540) was a Spanish Roman Catholic bishop and cardinal.

## Biography

Pedro Fernández Manrique was born in Aguilar de Campoo ca. 1500, the son of Luis Fernández Manrique, 2nd Marquis of Aguilar de Campoo and María Manrique de Lara, daughter of Pedro Manrique de Lara, 1st Duke of Nájera. His elder brother was Juan Fernández Manrique de Lara, Marqués de Aguilar de Campoo, Viceroy of Catalonia. He was educated at the University of Salamanca in the 1520s.
In 1525, Charles I of Spain named him maestrescula of the cathedral chapter of Salamanca Cathedral, a post that also made him chancellor of the University of Salamanca. The cathedral chapter, however, elected Martín de Espinosa, an auditor of the Roman Rota, for the same position. Espinosa ultimately prevailed in the dispute over this double appointment. In compensation, Charles I of Spain in 1530 made him major chaplain of the Chapel of the New Monarchs in the Cathedral of Toledo.
Six months later, Charles nominated him to be Bishop of Canarias and he was elected as bishop on 22 June 1530. He was transferred to the see of Ciudad Rodrigo on 14 December 1530. On 11 April 1537 he was transferred to the see of Córdoba, entering the diocese on 2 March 1538. He participated in the Cortes held in Toledo beginning on 15 October 1538.
At the request of King Charles I, Pope Paul III created Fernández Manrique a cardinal priest in the consistory of 20 December 1538. He received the red hat on 26 April 1540 and the titular church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo on 21 May 1540.
He died of the plague in Rome on 7 October 1540. He was temporarily buried in Santa Maria in Aracoeli, and his remains were later transferred to Spain and reburied.
