# Eastern Star Home

The Eastern Star Home was a retirement home and convalescent facility in Los Angeles, California for the members of the Order of the Eastern Star, Master Masons and their female relatives. Built between 1931 and 1936, the home operated until the late 1990s when membership in the home had decreased precipitously to just 34 residents. "The retirement home moved to a new location, and the Order of the Eastern Star sold the property at Sunset Boulevard to Archer School for Girls."
San Francisco architect William Mooser II, and Train & Cressy, designed the building in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Sam Rodia, builder of the Watts Towers, claimed to have worked on the construction of the building as a bricklayer. When the cornerstone was laid October 17, 1931, Sunset Boulevard was still known as Beverly Boulevard and the neighborhood was called "Westgate Heights". The original floor plan had 56 singles and nine double rooms, as well as sitting rooms and sun porches on every level.
   The Eastern Star Home exhibits the complex, irregular massing; courtyard plan; clay tile hipped and gabled roof; and smooth stucco exterior walls associated with Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture. Though alterations have been made to the Eastern Star Home over time, it retains significant character-defining features on the interior and exterior. It retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association…The primary feature of the central courtyard is the fountain located in the center of an open lawn. The fountain is star-shaped, with a ceramic basin in the center perched on a multi-tiered based. It is sheathed in decorative clay tile produced by Claycraft Potteries.
The original illuminated star was donated by the California Bethels of Job's Daughters in 1935.
The Eastern Star Home was a filming location for the 1974 Roman Polanski film Chinatown.

# Revenue Village

A Revenue Village is a small administrative region in India, a village with defined borders. One revenue village may contain many hamlets. Each revenue village is headed by a Village Administrative Officer (VAO).

## History

The advent of the concept revenue village dates back to the system of land reform introduced by Raja Todar Mal, minister of revenue in the court of Emperor Akbar. The essence of the reform was the assessment of the land revenue according to the extent of cultivation, the nature of the soil and the quality of the crops. In the 18th century, the Marathas were to excel in the preparation of area maps of revenue villages for the aid of native rulers. Though at times the system broke down and was deployed unevenly within the Mughal Empire, it was the underlying basis of the later day revenue system introduced in British Indian administration.
The revenue village was and is still designed as the lowest administrative unit in the settlement hierarchy. It was designed to improve revenue collection mechanism and regulate the process and not for village planning and development.
# Smoking in Macau

"none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
Smoking in Macau is regulated more strictly than in mainland China, but not to the extent of the regulation of smoking in Hong Kong.
Smoking is prohibited in a number of places as per Law No. 5/2011.
In May 2009 the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region announced a planned indoor smoking ban for all public places, "to create a fair environment where smokers have the freedom to smoke and non-smokers also have the freedom not to inhale second-hand smoke," Health Bureau director Lei Chin Ion said. In April 2009 the government announced proposed legislation that sought to raise the tobacco sales tax by 300%. Casinos and gambling are a major aspect of tourism in Macau. Smoking is banned on the main floors of casinos, but is permitted in closed-off ventilated smoking areas, which are located on the casino floors. A majority of Macau residents support a total ban on smoking in public places, but lawmakers in closed session on 20 April 2010 were unable to reach a consensus regarding a total ban inside casinos. The increasing number of smokers is a cause for concern.
In 2018 a ban on the sale, advertisement and import of e-cigarettes was implemented in Macau. January 1, 2019 saw the introduction of Macau’s New Tobacco Control Act which extends non-smoking areas across the city including a ban on smoking in the VIP areas of casinos, with smoking now only allowed inside specially ventilated smoking rooms.
The overall smoking rate among the Macao population aged 15 years and above decreased from 33.7% in 2011 (upon the implementation of the smoking ban) to 11.2% in 2020.
# Michel aus Lönneberga

Michel aus Lönneberga (or Emil i Lönneberga) is a West German-Swedish live-action television adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's novel series Emil i Lönneberga, based to some extent on the earlier films based on the franchise. As was established in the books, the recordings took place in Katthult in Kalmar län (part of the historical Småland), Sweden.
The Swedish voicing for the show with subtitles became a big success throughout Scandinavia, with the opening theme and the phrases Förgrömmade unge ("Damned that child") and Snickerboa ("Crafting outhouse") becoming standard phrases even in non-Swedish-speaking areas until well into the 2010's.
In Norway it aired on NRK1 and became a big enough success that re-runs were run until the 2000s and eclipsed the films in popularity. The scene in episode 3, Kalaset i Katthult, where Emil hoisted Ida up to the top of a flagpole, was cut in NRK's broadcasts, to the dismay of the Swedish production team.
The show was also aired occasionally on DR1 in Denmark. There are no records of the show airing in Finland, where the films remained the main way to watch the franchise.
In West Germany, the show aired on Das Erste with multi-actor voiceover, where the show also gained some popularity.
When Denmark aired re-runs on DR Ramasjang, the Swedish voices had been replaced by a Danish voiceover as of 2019, causing some controversy in Denmark.
An animated revival of the series is in the works, produced by O2o Studio and Aardman.
# Stele of Meli-Šipak

The Stele of Meli-Šipak is an ancient Mesopotamian fragment of the bottom part of a large rectangular stone edifice engraved with reliefs and the remains of Akkadian and Elamite inscriptions. It was taken as spoil of war by Elamite king Šutruk-Naḫḫunte I during his invasion of Babylonia which deposed Kassite king Zababa-šuma-iddina. It was one of the objects found at Susa between 1900 and 1904 by the French excavation team under Jacques de Morgan that seems to have formed part of an ancient Museum of trophies, or ex-voto offerings to the deity Inšušinak, in a courtyard adjacent to the main temple.

## The stele

The limestone stele is engraved with towers, crowning battlements and separating a crenelated wall fortification below, where there is an archway in the lower of perhaps three registers. At least one row of divine symbols appears in an upper register. A human figure dressed in an ornate fringed robe and a high crown of feathers, faces a ship. A standing nude figure has been intentionally chiseled away.
The object was first published by Jean-Vincent Scheil in 1902 and is currently kept in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, with excavation reference Sb 14 and Museum reference AS 6049. It is the colophon added by Šutruk-Naḫḫunte (one of several, but which is very similar to that inscribed on the Victory stele of Narām-Sîn), written perpendicular to the Middle Babylonian cuneiform and up one of the carved towers, which identifies it as an artifact of Meli-Šipak, as the remnants of the original inscription do not provide any historical information:
   I (am) Šutruk-Naḫ[ḫunte, the son] of [Ḫalluduš-Inšušin]ak, the beloved servant [of (the god) Inšušinak], the king of Anzan [(and) Susa, the enlarge]er of [my realm, the caretaker of Elam, [the prince of Elam].As Inšušinak, [my god, instr]uct[ed me, I smote] (the land) Karintaš. [I] acquired the stele of Meli-[Šipak] in Kari[ntaš] [(and brought it to Elam)].
The royal name preserved is given by Brinkman as $^m$˹Me-x˺ [ ] which he described as providing “little support for such an interpretation” while Slanski observed that the faint traces following ˹Me˺ conform rather well to the sign –li-. Little more of the text other than the tail end of the curse formula is preserved:
   [Gula, mistress of] the gods, may she afflict him with her oozing (sores), a persistent carbuncle, so that he may bathe in blood and pus like water!
This is reminiscent of the curses which appear on column seven of the Land grant to Marduk-apal-iddina I kudurru, and provides the main reason for identifying this object within the genre of kudurrus, the Babylonian entitlement narûs.

# Piz da las Trais Linguas

Piz da las Trais Linguas (Romansh: ; German: Dreisprachenspitze; both meaning 'peak of the three languages'; Italian: Cima Garibaldi), is a minor summit of the Ortler Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. The summit is the tripoint between the Italian regions of Lombardy and South Tyrol and the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Before World War I it was the international tripoint of Switzerland, the Kingdom of Italy and Austria-Hungary. The Romansh and German names refer to the encounter of different linguistic areas in this region. The Italian name refers to Giuseppe Garibaldi, however losing the reference to the meeting of different cultures.
On its southern side the mountain overlooks the Stelvio Pass (German: Stilfserjoch).
# Alexandre-Ferdinand Nguendet

Alexandre-Ferdinand Nguendet (born 23 May 1972) is a Central African politician who served as President of the National Transitional Council of the Central African Republic from 15 April 2013 to 6 May 2016. He briefly served as Acting President of the Central African Republic in January 2014.

## Political career

As a member of the Central African Democratic Rally (RDC), Nguendet served for a time as a Deputy in the National Assembly, representing the fifth arrondissement of Bangui, the capital. In early 2013, Nguendet founded a new political party, the Rally for the Republic (RPR). When the Séléka rebel coalition captured Bangui in March 2013, ousting President François Bozizé, Nguendet's party was reportedly the first party to recognize the leadership of Michel Djotodia, the rebel leader who declared himself President after Bozizé fled the country.
In April 2013, under pressure from regional leaders, Djotodia attempted to legitimize his rule by creating the National Transitional Council, a 105-member provisional parliament, and then being elected by the new CNT as President, to serve during a planned 18-month transitional period, on 13 April 2013. The CNT subsequently elected Nguendet as President of the CNT on 15 April 2013; he defeated four other candidates for the post, receiving 48 votes, well ahead of the second place candidate, who received 28. The body was to act as both a parliament and a constituent assembly.
When the CNT began working in early May 2013, Nguendet explained to the body that it would have all normal legislative powers during its existence, with the exception of the right to hold a vote of no confidence in the government.
After Djotodia resigned following a CEEAC summit on 10 January 2014 as a result of his failure to contain escalating sectarian violence, Nguendet took over as Acting President. He was to serve until the CNT elected a replacement for Djotodia. The CNT elected Catherine Samba-Panza as President on 20 January.
In August 2015, following the adoption of a proposed new constitution, Nguendet called on the people to approve the proposed constitution in a referendum "to allow our country to get back on the path to a normal constitutional order".
# Alan Sorrenti

Alan Sorrenti (born 9 December 1950) is an Italian singer and composer.

## Biography

Sorrenti was born in Naples, but his mother was Welsh, and he spent much of his childhood in Aberystwyth, Wales. As a result, he is fluent in both Italian and English and has sung in both languages throughout his career. Sorrenti's career began in the early 1970s; he released his first album, Aria, in 1972, followed by Come un vecchio incensiere all'alba di un villaggio deserto in 1973, both consisting mostly of progressive rock and experimental tracks.
In 1976, Alan Sorrenti shifted genre and released tracks more reminiscent of the dance genre. In late 1979 he scored a major European hit with the single "Tu sei l'unica donna per me", since then covered in a number of different languages.
Alan represented Italy in the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Non so che darei". He finished sixth in the contest but the track became one of that year's bestselling entries in Continental Europe and Scandinavia after the winner Johnny Logan's "What's Another Year".
In 2006, Sorrenti participated in the festival O' Scià on the Lampedusa island.
Alan's younger sister Jenny Sorrenti is also a recording artist and has released two albums with her progressive folk/rock band Saint Just, as well as several solo albums.
