# Il-Kantilena

Il-Kantilena is the oldest known literary text in the Maltese language. It dates from the 15th century (no later than 1485, the death of its author, and probably from the 1470s), but was not found until 1966 by historians Godfrey Wettinger and Mikiel Fsadni. The poem is attributed to Pietru Caxaro, and was recorded by Caxaro's nephew, Brandano, in his notarial register (Dec. 1533 – May 1563). It is preserved at the Notarial Archives in Valletta.
Although written in Maltese, in Latin script, it was a very early form that had not yet been influenced much by Romance languages, and is thus an example of Old Maltese. This text contains many Arabic morphemes. The only Romance words are vintura 'luck', sometimes translated into English as 'fate', and et 'and'. In general, early Maltese texts contain very little non-Arabic vocabulary; even in later texts, poetry tends to use more Arabic vocabulary than general language use does, therefore while certainly of historical interest, Il-Kantilena most likely does not reflect the spoken language of the common Maltese of the time, but rather that of the elite who spoke a stilted form more pleasing to the ruling class.
However, literary evidence suggests that the spoken language in the 13th century was Arabic since ire was raised when the bishop of Malta resident in Sicily appointed Italian-speaking priests to the island. Both islands were occupied by the Arabs in the early medieval period, but Malta's relative isolation limited the diffusion of Italian cognates until much later.

## Text
### Approximate English translation

   Witness my predicament, my friends (neighbours), as I shall relate it to you: [What] never has there been, neither in the past, nor in your lifetime, A [similar] heart, ungoverned, without lord or king (sultan), That threw me down a well, with broken stairs Where, yearning to drown, I descend the steps of my downfall, I climb back up and down again, always faced with high seas.
   It (she) fell, my building, its foundations collapsed; It was not the builders’ fault, but the rock gave way, Where I had hoped to find rock, I found loose clay It (she) fell, my edifice, (that) which I had been building for so long.
   And so, my edifice subsided, and I shall have to build it up again, You change it to the site that suits her/it Who changes his place, changes his fate! for each (piece of land) has its own shape (features); there is white land and there is black land, and red But above all, (what) you want from it is a fruit.
# Cyprus Library

The Cyprus Library (Greek: Κυπριακή Βιβλιοθήκη, Kypriakī́ Vivliothī́kī, Turkish: Kıbrıs Kütüphanesi) is the national library of the Republic of Cyprus.
Its aim is to secure, process, and make available publications that are produced in Cyprus or have to do with Cyprus.

## History

The Cyprus Library was founded by the British Colonial Governor Sir Ronald Storrs, who noticed the lack of a public library in Cyprus. During the period books were brought from Britain to add to the library. It used to work under the Ministry of Education, Culture and Youth, but after the establishment of a separate Deputy Ministry of Culture, it is now organised under it.
In 1968 the Cyprus Public Library Law moved control of the library from the Municipality of Nicosia to the Ministry of Education and Culture and it merged its collections with the Ministry's Library. In 1974 it was relocated to its original premises on the D'Avila Bastion of the Venetian walls of Nicosia. In 1987 a new law establishing the Cyprus Library was passed. In 2022 it came under the control of the newly established Deputy Ministry of Culture.

## Holdings

The Cyprus Library houses over 178,000 books.
The oldest work in the possession of the Library is Malta Illustrata, the first book that was published in Malta in 1647, written by Giovanfrancesco Abela.

## Locations

Main Location:
Eleftherias Square, 1011 Lefkosia
Reference Department

# John River (Alaska)

The John River (Iñupiaq: Atchiiniq) is a 125-mile (201 km) tributary of the Koyukuk River in the northern part of the U.S. state of Alaska. It was named after John Bremner, a prospector and explorer who was one of the first non-native persons to go there. It flows south from Anaktuvuk Pass in Alaska's Brooks Range, into the larger river at a point near Bettles, slightly north of the Arctic Circle.
In 1980, the 52-mile (84 km) segment of the John River within the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve were designated "wild" and added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The designation means that the segment is unpolluted, free-flowing, and generally inaccessible except by trail.
The John River Valley is an important migration route for Arctic caribou.

## History

In 1901, the Schrader-Peters expedition explored the John River, the Anaktuvuk River, and continued onward to Point Barrow. In 1931, Robert "Bob" Marshall explored the John River up to the Arctic Divide, and described seeing a "quadruple rainbow".

## Boating

It is possible to run the John River in canoes, kayaks, and small rafts, though conditions vary from place to place. The upper 35 miles (56 km) are rated Class III (difficult) on the International Scale of River Difficulty and "should be attempted only by experienced paddlers with solid wilderness skills." Below this, the river is rated Class II (medium) for the next 47 miles (76 km), then Class I on the lower reaches all the way to the mouth. Dangers on the upper river include sustained whitewater, swift currents, a difficult 4-mile (6 km) portage, and the possibility of water too shallow to run.

# Roan Church

Roan Church (nicknamed Fosen Cathedral; Norwegian: Roan kirke or Fosenkatedralen) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Åfjord Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Roan. It is the church for Roan parish which is part of the Fosen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros of the (Evangelical, Lutheran) Church of Norway. The white, stone structure was built in the Basilica style in 1702 to the designs of architect Morten Jørgensen Bjørnør. The church seats about 450 people.

## History

The earliest historical record of a church building on this site dates back to the year 1499, but this was not the year of the current church's construction. The very first church at Roan was a stave church called Bjørnør Church, which was located about 300 metres (980 ft) east of the present building. On 7 February 1690, the old church suffered fire damage and was likely repaired afterwards. By the year 1700, just 10 years later, it was described as being in poor condition and dilapidated, and so (in 1702) the present day stone church was constructed, approximately 300 metres (980 ft) west of the previous location. In 1884, the nave was extended by 12 metres (39 ft) to the west using plans drawn up by the architect Ole Falck Ebbell and at the same time, a new bell tower was constructed at the west end of the church.

### Election church

In 1814, the current church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches throughout Norway, it served as a polling station for the country's first national elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which was responsible for writing the Constitution of Norway. Each ecclesiastical parish was a constituency which selected "electors" who later met together, in each county, to choose the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year.
# Tahua

Tahua is one of the Duff Islands, of Temotu Province, in the independent nation of Solomon Islands. The estimated terrain elevation above sea level is some 23 metres. The island is inhabited.

## History

The artificial island of Tahua already existed when Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernández de Quirós discovered the Duff Islands on 8 April 1606. In the 1930s, Tahua Island measured only 100 by 150 metres, and walls divided the single village there. During the 1950s, the entire Duff Islands population lived on Tahua. The local people physically resemble Melanesians and speak a language called Pileni, that belongs to the Samoic branch of the Polynesian languages. The way of life is traditional by subsistence farming and fishing.

# Svea Airport

Svea Airport (Norwegian: Svea flyplass; ICAO: ENSA) was a private airport located in and serving the Sveagruva (also known as Svea) former mining settlement in Svalbard, Norway. The airport was owned and operated by Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani, who used the airport to transport their coal mining workers from the company town to Svalbard Airport at Longyearbyen. The airport featured a gravel runway measuring 800 by 30 meters (2,625 by 98 ft). Flights were operated about thirty times per week by Lufttransport using their two Dornier 228s. The airport was closed on August 1, 2022.

## History

The need for an airport at Svea arose during the mid 1990s. Store Norske, which had until then been mining coal in Longyearbyen, was in the process of moving the bulk of its mining operations to Svea. A road between the two towns was out of the question for environmental reasons. The company proposed that Svea would be built as a dorm town, where workers would commute for the week. They would have their permanent homes and families in Longyearbyen. On 10 April 1994, Store Norske's board stated that they could not support the two main alternatives, construction of an all-new permanent dwelling town in Svea, and commuting from the mainland. Store Norske cited their commitment to keep Longyearbyen a vibrant community.
The airport was officially opened on 16 February 1995. In March 1996, Store Norske, Kings Bay, and Lufttransport signed an agreement concerning intra-island transport out of Longyearbyen. This involved the introduction of Dornier 228 aircraft, which operated for Store Norske to Svea and for Kings Bay to Ny-Ålesund Airport, Hamnerabben. Store Norske commenced construction of the new town and mine, and mining operations started in January 1997.
The airport was closed on 1 August 2022, after the mine was closed and the town demolished.

## Facilities

The airport was located in the settlement of Sveagruva. Just like the rest of the company town, it was owned and operated by Store Norske. Svea Airport was situated at 10 meters (32 ft) above mean sea level, on the north shore of van Mijenfjorden. It consisted of a gravel runway aligned 04–22 (roughly northeast–southwest), which measures 800 by 30 meters (2,625 by 98 ft).

## Airlines and destinations

Svea Airport was a private airport and not open to public flights, or any non-emergency landings by any flights not chartered by Store Norske. All flights at Svea flew to Svalbard Airport, Longyear. They were operated by Lufttransport, who operated two nineteen-seat Dornier 228 aircraft on the service. The airline operated up to thirty flights per week. These were only available for employees of and others traveling for Store Norske. Lufttransport transported 21,000 people and 500 tonnes of freight annually on its Svalbard routes, the vast majority of which was on the Svea route.

# Matina Brothers

The Matina Brothers (a.k.a. Matina Midget Troupe) were an American trio of entertainers known for their short height. Lajos, Bela, and Matyus were brothers who immigrated to the US together from the Kingdom of Hungary. Cast as Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz, they were nicknamed Leo, Mike, and Ike, respectively, during production, and listed in the credits with the surname 'Rogers'. Bela and Matyus currently hold the world record for the "shortest twins" at just 76 cm (30 in) each.

## History

Lajos Matina, the eldest, was born in Hungary on September 12, 1893, followed by twin brothers Bela and Matyus in 1901. The trio of brothers later moved to America where they became naturalized American citizens. The brothers soon joined a troupe which was led by an individual named Prince Ludwig who dubbed them the "Matina Midget Troupe". In 1915, Lajos married Elise Broek who was a suffragette.
Each brother played a Munchkin villager in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, where Bela was billed as "Mike Rogers" (Matina), and Matyus "Ike Rogers" (Matina). Lajos also became known as "Leo" Matina while working beside his brothers "Mike" and "Ike". In his biography of Daisy and Violet Hilton, Dean Jensen reported that the Matina twins became very popular in America to such an extent that the candy Mike and Ike, which first appeared in 1940, was named after them.
The brothers continued in show business after the movie, and Leo eventually filled in as a chef for the troupe. The first brother to pass away was Mike Matina (Bela), who died on June 1, 1954. Matyus "Ike" Matina died on September 14, 1965, and Lajos "Leo" Matina on December 14, 1975.

## Controversy

Bela, and Matyus ("Mike & Ike") were described as problem drinkers, who tried to get fellow Munchkins to share in their overindulgence while the Wizard of Oz was in production (it is unclear if this was done on or off site). In a 1967 interview, Judy Garland referred to all of the Munchkins as "little drunks" who got intoxicated every night to the point where they had to be picked up in "butterfly nets". These accusations were denied as fabrications by fellow Munchkin Margaret Pellegrini, who said only "a couple of kids from Germany even drank beer".
