# Marjorie Burns

Marjorie Jean Burns is a scholar of English literature, best known for her studies of J. R. R. Tolkien.

## Biography

Marjorie Jean Burns was born in 1940. She gained her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley.
She is an emeritus professor of English at Portland State University, having worked on the faculty there for over thirty years. She lectured on English literature and Tolkien, writing many papers on these topics. She married the geologist Scott Burns, also at Portland State University, and Don S. Wilner. She has four children.
Burns co-edited the J. R. R. Tolkien Encyclopedia, and contributed four articles to it on topics including Old Norse literature and the giant spider Shelob.

## Reception
### Perilous Realms

C. W. Sullivan III, reviewing her 2005 book Perilous Realms for the Journal of Folklore Research, found it both praiseworthy and problematic. He liked Burns's discussion of the English prejudice against the Celts, and of Tolkien's dislike of frivolous post-Shakespeare fairies. He noted that many of the chapters were published as separate papers, so there was some repetition, and she had failed to note the Celtic origin of Sir Gawain. But she had written a "valuable window into Tolkien's sources"; he liked the way he blended "Celtic enchantment and Norse vitality", and the book was accessible to scholars and the public alike.
Kathryn Stelmach, reviewing the book for Comitatus, found her exploration of Norse "more compelling" than her "overly simplified" approach to the "Celtic" identity and the use of unreliable sources.

# Strong Hall (Lawrence, Kansas)

Strong Hall is an administrative hall at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, United States. The hall is on the National Register of Historic Places.

## History

After 1900, rising enrollments overwhelmed the Old Fraser Hall, known at the time as the "university building," necessitating the construction of a new administration and academic center. Chancellor Frank H. Strong (1902–1920) began requesting financing from the Kansas Legislature for the new structure. Montrose Pallen McArdle, a St. Louis architectural company, was chosen to design the building that Strong and the regents anticipated would be "the center of the university architecture as well as the university life."
Under the advisement of State Architect John Stanton, art professor William A. Griffith, and College Dean Olin Templin, McArdle designed a $500,000 classical Renaissance building that included pillars, a rotunda, an art gallery, and a classical museum. The Kansas Legislature objected to the scope and cost, and the designs were curtailed, while remnants of the original design vision remain; the building was ultimately finished in a Classical Revival style.

# Industry Standard Coding Identification

Industry Standard Coding Identification (ISCI; /ˈɪzki/ IZ-kee), also known as Industry Standard Commercial Identification) was a standard created to identify commercials that aired on TV in the United States, for ad agencies and advertisers from 1970.

## History

ISCI was invented in 1970 by David Webster Dole with the backing of the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As), the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), the SRA and the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) and it was maintained and operated by Dole until 1992, when the 4As and the ANA bought ISCI from Dole. In 2003, ISCI was to be replaced by Ad-ID. Whilst ISCI has a replacement in Ad-ID it still has uses in legacy applications.

## Coding

An ISCI code was a set of 8 characters, the first four being alphabetic, and the remaining four being numeric, in the format 'ABCD1234' . The alphabetical characters usually represented the advertiser (some examples are QWAN for Wells Fargo Bank, KOCL for Coca-Cola, and PEMX for Pepsi), and the numeric characters were determined by the individual creating the code, with different numbers used for either different spots, or different versions of the same spot.
For example, a :30 second spot might have had a code of XECA1263, while the same commercial in a shortened :20 or :15 version (or in a different language such as Spanish) might have had a slightly different code of XECA1264. The ISCI code was unique to each individual commercial. The slightest change to an ad led to the use of another code.

## Usage

ISCIs were printed on tape labels, in the production slate preceding the commercial on the tape or on digitally transmitted files through media distributors like Extreme Reach, Comcast Ad Distribution, Javelin and Yangaroo.
# Mozambique–Zimbabwe relations

Mozambique–Zimbabwe relations refers to the bilateral relationship between Mozambique and Zimbabwe, two neighbouring Southern African nations. Both nations are members of the African Union, United Nations, Southern African Development Community and the Non-Aligned Movement. The countries share a common border over 1,000 kilometres totaling over 10,000 kilometres. While they face occasional strains, leadership is strategically committed to maintain strong bilateral ties.
Relations between the leadership of the two countries developed in the period of anticolonial struggle when FRELIMO helped the Zimbabwe African National Union actions against the Rhodesia regime. ZANU received direct support from Mozambican citizens living along the border as well. After gaining independence in 1980 and until 1990 Zimbabwe provided military support to FRELIMO-led government in Mozambique in the fight against RENAMO during the Mozambican Civil War.
# La France au travail

La France au Travail (France at Work) was a pro-German French newspaper which appeared from 30 June 1940 onwards funded by the German embassy in France. It was started as a propaganda initiative in the aftermath of the German occupation to influence left-leaning segments of French public opinion. The Director, Jean Drault, was a French anti-Semite while its editor, Georges Oltramare, was a pro-Nazi Swiss journalist who broadcast on French radio. The extent of German control is evident in that editorial meetings were held directly in the German embassy on the rue de Lille. In style and content, the newspaper mirrored the Communist newspaper L'Humanité except for virulent anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic positions. The newspaper was fairly successful with sales of 92,000 in the first weeks rising to 180,000 by August 1940. Exposure by the clandestine Communist press as well as mainstream French newspapers, however, ensured a steady, and then permanent, decline.
# Joseph Wood (Wisconsin politician)

# Welkite

Welkite (also transliterated Wolkite; Amharic: ወልቂጤ) is a town and separate woreda in south-western Ethiopia. The second administrative center of the Central Ethiopia Regional State, and Gurage Zone . The town has a latitude and longitude of 8°17′N 37°47′E﻿ / ﻿8.283°N 37.783°E﻿ / 8.283; 37.783 and an elevation between 1910 and 1935 meters above sea level. According to the government, Welkite is one of 12 towns with electrical power, one of 11 with telephone service and one of nine that have postal service. The SNNPR's Bureau of Finance and Economic Development, adds that as of 2003 Welkite also had a bank branch and other financial institutions, as well as a hospital. An all-weather road was built in 1963 which connects Welkite to Addis Ababa by way of Endibir.

## Overview

At Welkite an extreme example of an attempt at eviction of tenants before the Ethiopian Revolution is reported to have occurred. A retired colonel living in the area held title to 4,000 hectares, which some 500 tenants cultivated. Following a fertilizer demonstration by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization in 1969, the colonel decided to introduce modernized farming. At first he decided to modernize rapidly and announced that he was going to terminate the tenancy relationships with all of his tenants. The tenants, however, are said to have responded violently, attempting to stone their landlord one night as he left a bar in Welkite. The colonel then changed tactics, modernizing his lands piecemeal and evicting smaller numbers of tenants. By 1972, he had 160 hectares under tractor cultivation, and 140 tenant families were said to have been evicted. These people did not, however, leave the area, relying on the ensete cultivations around their houses for a minimum of food.
The town has well over 150 years of ages. It expanded along the Addis-Jimma highway and has been sprawling over the crescent shaped plateau.

## Demographics

Based on the 2007 Census conducted by the Central Statistical Agency, this town has a total population of 28,866, of whom 15,074 are men and 13,792 women. The plurality of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity with 48.17% of the population reporting that belief, while 42.31% were Muslim, 7.86% were Protestants, and 1.34% were Catholic.
The 1994 national census reported this town had a total population of 15,329 of whom 7,580 were men and 7,749 were women. In the villages around Welkite there are believed to be about 1,000 speakers of Gumuz language, who are a Nilo-Saharan people whose homeland straddles between Ethiopia and Sudan.
