# The Clement Peerens Explosition

The Clement Peerens Explosition, or CPeX, was a Belgian parody rock group, created by Hugo Matthysen, Bart Peeters and Ronny Mosuse, the last two being former members of The Radios. The band was known for its comic lyrics in songs and interventions during performances, all in the Antwerp dialect.

## History

During the early 1990s, Matthysen played the fictional character "Clement Peerens" on the comedy radio show Het Leugenpaleis and its televised successor, Het Peulengaleis. Peerens was portrayed as a self-proclaimed "pop expert", recounting ever-more outrageous anecdotes about current and past rock stars which were little more than drunken ramblings. As the character's popularity grew, it was decided to spin off an actual rock band, which began performing in 1994 and went on to release four albums. The last of these went on sale in 2000 and the band's performances became sporadic. In 2008, CPeX released a best-of album featuring some new material and began playing live again in a modified line-up, as Bart Peeters was forced to withdraw from the band for hearing problems. Aram Van Ballaert as Dave De Peuter/Lady Dave took his place as drummer. In 2011, the album Olraait was released (Antwerp dialect for the English "Alright"). The band released the single Boormachien in 2014. Since then, the Clement Peerens Explosition again toured regularly.
In 2021 Peerens announced the band would stop performing in december 2022. What was planned to be one concert ended up in ten, with 20.000 tickets sold. CPeX played their last ten farewell concerts in december 2022, ending on 7 January 2023 at De Roma in Antwerp.
Following that, the same members Mathysen, Mosuse and Van Ballaert formed a new band, Huroram. They mainly focus on Matthysen's earlier career, in standard Dutch.

## Style

Many of CPeX's lyrics cover inconsequential subjects, often reflecting Peerens' macho, borderline-misogynistic world view and lack of any real interests; subjects include ownership of the TV remote, trying not to answer questions about fashion, or the poor quality of cheap wine.

## Controversy

In 1995, the band released the album Foorwijf!. The title track caused a minor controversy, as some funfair operators believed they were being put in an unfairly negative light.

# Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia

The Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia (JASGP) is a private nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that promotes arts, business, and cultural exchange between the United States and Japan in the Greater Philadelphia region. The organization operates Shofuso, produces the Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia, and offers public educational and business programs.

## History

The Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia was incorporated in 1994 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a member of National Association of Japan-America Societies, a national non-profit U.S. network dedicated to public education about Japan. JASGP is the second largest Japan American Society, after the Japan Society in Manhattan.
In 1998, JASGP began a citywide beautification program planting ornamental cherry blossom trees in Fairmount Park and along the banks of Philadelphia's Schuylkill River. This program became the Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia in 2003 following a title sponsorship from Subaru of America.
In 2016, JASGP merged with Friends of the Japanese House and Garden, a private nonprofit which operated Shofuso Japanese House and Garden beginning in 1982. Built in 1953 in Nagoya, Japan, for an exhibition at New York City's Museum of Modern Art, Shofuso relocated to Fairmount Park and was constructed on the site of a Japanese garden built during the 1876 Centennial Exposition.
JASGP commemorated Shofuso's 60th anniversary season in Fairmount Park in 2018. Events included an annual general meeting at Philadelphia City Hall and a series of special programs on site at Shofuso.

# James Parsons (South Carolina politician)

James Parsons (born 1724) was an American politician and attorney who served as the last vice president of South Carolina from June 27, 1777 to January 9, 1779. He was born in Ireland and migrated to the British colony of South Carolina in 1750.

## Personal life

James Parsons studied law Ireland before migrating to the British colony of South Carolina in 1750. In the Province of South Carolina, he worked as a lawyer and soon acquired wealth and prestige. Between 1752 and 1754 and again from 1760 to 1775 he sat in the colonial House of Representatives. In the early 1770s he joined the revolutionary movement, serving as a member of several assemblies and security committees supporting the independence movement. He was a colonel in the Revolutionary War. He also served in the first three terms of the state legislature of the new state of South Carolina.

## Politics

In January 1775, Parsons was elected as a member of the South Carolina Committee of Public Safety by the South Carolina Provincial Congress, the goal of which was to establish how the colony should be independently governed after independence from Great Britain. He was later reelected to the position.
In 1776, Parsons was elected as the first Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives under the state's first constitution after declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Parsons held the position until October of the same year.
On June 27, 1777, Parsons was elected the second vice president of South Carolina, succeeding Henry Laurens after his resignation. Parsons held the position until the term expired January 9 of 1779. Parsons' successor, Thomas Bee, was titled "Lieutenant Governor" instead of "Vice President."

# The Puppy Song

"The Puppy Song" is a Harry Nilsson song that appeared on his album Harry released in August 1969. Nilsson originally wrote this song at Paul McCartney's request for Mary Hopkin, an 18-year-old singer that McCartney had signed to Apple Records and whose first album, Post Card would feature her version of Nilsson's song. David Cassidy released his version as a double A-side single with "Daydreamer", which reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1973.

## Background

In 1968, Nilsson went to London to meet with members of The Beatles after John Lennon named Nilsson as his favorite American artist with both Lennon and Paul McCartney naming him their favorite group, and they requested a session with him. While in London, McCartney asked Nilsson to write a song for Mary Hopkin, a request to which Nilsson complied, working out the song on the piano and recording a demo that night. The song was sent to McCartney who thought it "perfect" for Hopkin. Hopkin recorded the song for her debut album Post Card.
Nilsson recorded the song himself later in the year. Nilsson's version was a little slower than Hopkin's, and was sung in the key of C rather than G. It was included in his album Harry released in 1969, and it served as the B-side to Nilsson's single "Maybe" in the UK.
The song lyrics tell of a child longing for a puppy, and the opening lines of the song about dreams and wishes: "Dreams are nothin' more than wishes / And a wish is just a dream you wish to come true", became a theme for the album Harry.

## David Cassidy version

The song was popularized by David Cassidy in his double A-side single "Daydreamer"/"The Puppy Song". The single was released by Bell Records, and Cassidy specially flew to London to promote the single. The song reached No. 1 on the UK Chart, staying there for three weeks in November 1973. The single was also among the ten biggest sellers of 1973. The opening line of "The Puppy Song" was used as the title of David Cassidy's 1973 album Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes, and both songs of the single appear on the album.

# Windsor Gardens, Chatswood

Windsor Gardens is a heritage-listed former residence, reception venue and now retirement village located at Chatswood, City of Willoughby, New South Wales, Australia. It was built in 1888. It is also known as Iroquois. The property is privately owned. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

## History

Windsor Gardens was built in 1888 by American journalist Frank Coffee, who arrived in Sydney in 1882 as a reporter for the New York Herald. It was originally named Iroquois after an American battleship visiting Sydney at the time.
During the early years, Mass was held each month in the drawing room of Iroquois for the local Catholic community by a priest from Riverview College. This was because there was no Catholic Church between North Sydney and Pymble.
The large Coffee family lived in the house until the late 1920s when it was sold to the Burke family. Frank Coffee passed away in 1929 at Kirribillli. His wife died in 1943. During his lifetime Frank Coffee made some forty to fifty trips around the Pacific and subsequently wrote and published his book Forty Years on the Pacific
According to anecdotal evidence, Windsor Gardens was owned by John Adrian Burke from 1930 to 1945. In 1945 it was purchased by Allan Gilbert who renamed it Windsor Gardens and converted it into a venue for wedding receptions.
On 13 May 1986 an Interim Conservation Order was made over Windsor Gardens to ensure that a retirement village development proposal was sympathetic to the significance of Windsor Gardens. On 28 July 1988 a Permanent Conservation Order was placed over the property.

## Description

A late Victorian, two-storeyed rendered brick house with a two-storey verandah and a four-storey tower. Interiors original finished in cedar and walnut imported from USA. Frank Coffee's initials were incorporated within the elaborate internal plasterwork and staircase joinery, all of which survive. Much of the original garden survives including exotic trees, some of which were imported from Japan and California, partly obscure the house from the street.

## Heritage listing

As at 28 November 2006, Windsor Gardens is a good example of a high Victorian gentleman's residence that was localed in the semi-rural, outer suburbs of the late nineteenth century of Sydney. It has retained much of its original detailing, both internally and externally. The house ad gardens as a reception centre played an important role in the lives of many people since the end of World War II. It was the home of a prominent early resident, Frank Coffee, and was an early centre of worship for the local Catholic community.
Windsor Gardens was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

# Karl Buresch

Karl Buresch (12 October 1878 – 16 September 1936) was a lawyer, Christian-Social politician and Chancellor of Austria during the First Republic.

## Life

Buresch was born the son of a merchant in Groß-Enzersdorf, Lower Austria, where he attended primary school (Volksschule). After finishing secondary school in Döbling, he studied law at the University of Vienna, receiving his degree in 1901. Buresch worked for a firm of solicitors in his home town, became a Christian Social member of the Groß-Enzersdorf council in 1909 and in 1916 the town's mayor, a position he held until 1919. In 1919 he was an elected member of the Austrian Constitutional Assembly (in German Mitglied der Konstituierenden Nationalversammlung). During the 1920s and early 1930s he was a delegate to the National Council parliament (1920-1934), Landeshauptmann governor of Lower Austria (1922-1931 and again 1932-1933), and a chairman of the Christian-Social group.
Upon the collapse of the biggest Austrian bank Creditanstalt in May 1931, difficulties created by the Great Depression and the instability of the national currency, the First Republic found itself in political turmoil. On 20 June 1931 Buresch was appointed Chancellor of Austria and finally managed to form a cabinet of Christian Social and German nationalist politicians, after unsuccessful attempts by his predecessors Otto Ender and Ignaz Seipel to cope with the crisis. As the commercial crisis continued and domestic policies deteriorated after a failed Heimwehr putsch led by Walter Pfrimer, Buresch lost his German nationalist allies and went on to govern with a minority cabinet from January 1932. During his mandate, which lasted to 20 May 1932, a number of austerity measures were introduced. His government was succeeded by a cabinet formed by Engelbert Dollfuß.
Buresch again assumed the office of Lower Austrian governor, before on 16 May 1933 he joined the Dollfuß cabinet as Minister of Finance. On 17 October 1935 he was succeeded by Ludwig Draxler. Until his sudden death in 1936, Buresch served as governor of the Österreichische Postsparkasse (postal savings bank) in Vienna.
