# St Mary the Virgin Church, Turville

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a 12th century English church located in Turville, Buckinghamshire, England. The Church is usually open daily from 10 am to 4 pm

## History

The church is first recorded in the 12th century. It was built mainly using flint, principally due to its sole availability in the Middle Ages. The nave of the church is the oldest surviving part, dating from the early 12th century. In 1340, the present bell tower was built and the chancel was enlarged. The four bells in the tower date from 1670 and 1744. A fifth bell was added in the late 1990s for the millennium and the sixth bell was added in 2018
Further changes to the church were made in 1733, with the addition of the north aisle, which aimed to house the pew for the Lord of the Manor, William Perry. The north aisle also includes a marble monument to William Perry. Two armorial glass windows in the south wall commemorate the connection of the Parry family with the church.

## Restoration

The church was restored on numerous occasions, notably in 1875 when the chancel floor was raised, in 1901 when the vestry was constructed, in 1972 when the roof was repaired and, in 1996 with the new bell-frame and re-tuned peal. The 1901 restoration uncovered a stone coffin containing two skeletons, one dating from the 16th century which had a hole in the skull, indicating a possible murder victim. Today, the coffin stands in front of the north aisle. The coffin might have been used as an ossuary during a time when the churchyard became overcrowded.

## Popular culture

The church was a key location in the 1942 film Went the Day Well? It was also used in the sitcom The Vicar of Dibley, where it was used as the parish church named St Barnabas' (sic).
# Mahmoud Seraji

Mahmoud Seraji (Persian: محمود سراجی) AKA, M.S. Shahed (م س شاهد) was an Iranian-American poet whose trilogy, MAZAMIR ESHGH, (مزامیر عشق) was published in 2008 in Iran.

## Life and Death

Mahmoud Seraji was born in Astara, Iran on August 23, 1934. He died on April 27, 2017, in Des Moines, Iowa. He was an attorney by profession, but was banned from practicing law in Iran after the Iranian Revolution. He immigrated to America in 2008 where his children lived. He's the father of Mahbod Seraji, the author of critically acclaimed novel Rooftops of Tehran. A number of his poems appear on sites such as Iranian.com, PezhvakeIran.com and Yoldash. Mahmoud Seraji battled cancer for decades. He was first diagnosed with throat cancer in 1994. At the age of 82, his colon cancer spread to his lungs, liver, bladder and brain, causing his death.

## Literary work

Seraji's trilogy, MAZAMIR ESHGH, was banned from publication for a number of years in Iran. The first volume of his work, SHATHIAT, is a collection of Sufi poetry in the tradition of VAHDAT VOJOOD (Persian: وحدت وجود). His poetry was considered blasphemous by the Mullahs as he claimed that the life of an authentic seeker of God is centered around exploring the truth by means of love and devotion. The real discovery of God in the worshiper's inner-self leads to a brand of self-actualization that transcends all forms of knowledge and experiences.
According to Seraji, it’s only through this type of excursion that enlightenment and true inspiration of God may be studied and realized.
You, the most knowledgeable of all beings The gentlest of all things
I’m lost in the maze of my existence Enlighten me about my essence
The theme of misplacement is present throughout Seraji’s work in Shathiat, Al-Aghlo-Eghal, and most of his other work. In his Qasida, Al-Aghal-o-Eghal — the SCHACKLE, eghal, the instrument that's tied around a camel's ankle to keep it from wandering away is used as a metaphor for the mind, confined by the limits of logic. The answers to all mysteries of the universe, according to his brand of Sufism is coded in one’s inner self, and may only be cracked by the power of love and imagination.
It’s the fervor of love that creates life Filling the universe with divine intoxication and existence

## The Greatest Memory

His greatest memory, according to an article published by his son, KHATERIE az BABA (Persian: خا طر ه‌ای از بابا) was visiting the tomb of Rumi, the Sufi poet of the 11th century, in Konya, Turkey.

# Utopia (website)

Utopia is a website with daily updating of information about LGBT culture in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
Utopia, founded by American John C. Goss, was a ground-breaking Internet enterprise when it was formed in Bangkok, Thailand, on December 13, 1995. At the time of its launch, such information was hard to come by, even for LGBT citizens within their own nations. Since then, it has pioneered new businesses, published seminal books and forged relationships to emerge as a potent unifying force for Asian LGBT people.
The Utopia website was preceded by the opening of Southeast Asia's first gay and lesbian center, one year earlier, in December 2004. Goss and partners from Singapore, Thailand and the United States opened the Utopia complex in the Sukhumvit Road area of Bangkok and it included an LGBT bookshop, cafe, pub and guesthouse. The center went on to host author readings, women's workshops, AIDS/HIV education and fundraising, and Bangkok's first International Lesbian and Gay Film/Video Festival: Hearts of Light, programmed by Canadian filmmaker, Paul Lee.
The Utopia website was the first Internet portal providing up-to-date pan-Asian information in a non-pornographic format. An archive of the Utopia website is available from 1996 onwards at The Wayback Machine. The website went on to garner recognition from TIME Magazine, Lonely Planet, Yahoo!, Gay Times, Advocate and BBC World Service.
Utopia was a founding sponsor of the first Bangkok Gay Festival in 1999, the first Pattaya Gay Festival in 2001, and also sponsored the annual Phuket Gay Festival.
The annual Utopia Awards was established in 2000 to give special recognition to gay and lesbian pioneers in Asia and other worthy groups and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Asia's LGBT community.
In 2005–2007, Goss began publication of ten landmark Utopia Guide books to gay and lesbian life in China; Cambodia/Laos/Myanmar/Vietnam; Thailand; Singapore; Malaysia; Indonesia; Japan; South Korea; Taiwan; and Asia (16 countries).
Utopia continues to pursue its original goal to improve the lives of Asian lesbians and gay men, to build community, and to foster a deeper understanding of gay life in the region. The Utopia website remains the Internet's most respected and comprehensive English-language resource for the multi-faceted homosexual subcultures of Asia.

# Mother (opera)

Mother, op. 35 (Czech: Matka) is a quarter-tone opera in ten scenes by the Czech composer Alois Hába. It was completed in 1929 to the composer's own libretto; its plot is drawn from author's native Valašsko. The opera is written in prose.

## Background

After Hába successfully resolved instrumental and theoretical problems with the quarter-tone system in the 1920s, he started to compose fully in that style. His work is bi-chromatic and in some folklore-inspired scenes and recitative parts of the score Hába approached to the intonational diction of the folk dialect. In spite of the folklore atmosphere of the work, its music is very independent and entirely original. The opera is strongly connected to Moravian ethnic traditions and takes advantage of local dialect and music.
Daniel Albright describes it as, "a remarkable work: slightly in awe of its own daring, in that Hába seemed more fascinated by the quarter-tone scale themselves than by any melody that might be construed from them, and yet resolute in refusing to employ the small intervals in the expected way, as a resource for denoting pain and disorientation [ expressionism ]," instead Hába intended the opera as a peasant comedy in the tradition of Smetana's Bartered Bride (1866).

## Performance history

The work was premiered at the Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich, Germany in May 1931.

## Reception

Record World called it a "dark, driving rocker with Clapton's vocal lurking ominously around drum spanks & keyboard textures."
AllMusic critic Matthew Greenwald recalls the song as "one of Eric Clapton's biggest hits from the early '80s" and found "this song found him continuing, in his words, to be as much a musicologist as a musician." Greenwald goes on to saying that the song's "lyrics have a venomous jealousy, and they are some of Clapton's most literate of the period". He rounded his review up by saying that "musically, some classic, almost Booker T. & the M.G.'s-styled chord changes highlight the driving tempo, providing Clapton with a huge hit". William Ruhlman of AllMusic recalls that I Can't Stand It "held up well".
Besides becoming a pop hit in its own right, reaching No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, it was also the first No. 1 song on Billboard's Top Tracks chart for rock songs, which debuted in March 1981.

# C/1997 L1 (Zhu–Balam)

Comet Zhu–Balam, formally designated C/1997 L1, is a long-period comet first identified by David D. Balam on June 8, 1997, and originally photographed by Jin Zhu on June 3, 1997. The comet is estimated at 10 kilometres in diameter with a period of approximately 36,895 years.

## Orbit

Given the orbital eccentricity of this object, different epochs can generate quite different heliocentric unperturbed two-body best-fit solutions to the aphelion distance (maximum distance) of this object. For objects at such high eccentricity, the Sun's barycentric coordinates are more stable than heliocentric coordinates. Using JPL Horizons the barycentric orbital elements for epoch 2015-Jan-01 generate a semi-major axis of 1,100 AU and a period of approximately 36,895 years.
