# Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis

The Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis (French pronunciation:) is a street in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. It crosses the arrondissement from north to south, linking the Porte Saint-Denis to La Chapelle Métro station and passing the Gare du Nord.

## History

The Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis owes its name to the fact that it is an extension of the Rue Saint-Denis to the faubourg or area outside Paris's walls (as marked today by the Porte Saint-Denis). It also marked the eastern boundary of the enclos (later prison) Saint-Lazare.
Historically, this street was an extremely upper-class area, occupied by jewellers and textile merchants, since it was part of the King's processional route to the Basilica of Saint-Denis. After the French Revolution, the street briefly bore the name 'Rue du Faubourg Franciade' in 1793 (with the portion between the Rue Saint-Laurent and the Place de la Chapelle being renamed the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Lazare and the Rue du Faubourg de Gloire).

## Length

* From the Boulevard de Bonne-Nouvelle [fr] to the Boulevard de Magenta: 850 m
* Between the Boulevard de Magenta and the Rue Cail: 520 m
* From the Rue Cail to the Boulevard de la Chapelle: 300 m

## Points of interest

* On 19 August 1848, the street was the birthplace of painter Gustave Caillebotte
* Mistinguett, who made this street famous by singing "Je suis née dans le faubourg Saint-Denis", was actually born in Enghien-les-Bains.
* The "marchandes de quatre saisons" (The merchants [street vendors] of the four seasons) were typical of this street. They can be seen in the 1961 Jean-Luc Godard film Une femme est une femme, but have since been removed because they were causing traffic congestion.
* An old bouillon snackbar has become a fashionable brasserie, Bouillon Julien, well-known across Paris for its profiteroles (a pastry).
* A fashionable 'traiteur', Julhès (formerly Royal-Cabello, founded by Henri Lacour, then by M. Mauduit), known for its mille-feuilles (also a pastry).

# Battle of Derbent (1722)

The Battle of Derbent was the occupation of Derbent by the Russian Empire during the Russo-Persian War. It took place in August 1722.

## Background

In August 1722, the Russian army began to rapidly advance towards Derbent. During this campaign, the Russian army also had to deal with the local population. The capture of Derbend was of strategic importance for the Russian army. After the capture of this city, coastal cities along the Caspian Sea could be captured. After Derbend, it was Baku's turn to capture, but due to weather conditions, this march was postponed until next year.

## Occupy

Setting out from Astrakhan, Pyotr I with the cavalry advanced by land and the fleet by sea towards Derbent. On July 25, 1722, Pyotr I wrote a letter to the Safavid shah, and in this letter he stated that he did not come to occupy his lands, but only to punish the rebels who created problems for them, who killed the lives and property of Russian merchants. Leaving on August 5, the Ru sordus encountered some resistance as far as Derbent. The main force organizing this resistance was the local principalities connected to the Ottoman Empire. After repelling these attacks, on August 23, Darbend surrendered to the Russians without a fight. Sources mention this event as follows:
   the governor of the city welcomed us and presented the key to the city.
The authorities in Darband were hospitable to the Russian army, their main goal being to establish good relations with the Russia state. Due to the storm that started at sea, the Russian fleet carrying food was seriously damaged. After that, Peter I, who temporarily stopped the campaign, returned to Astrakhan. Derbend was one of the main objectives of the campaign, and according to the plans of Peter I, it should play a key role in the capture of other regions in the future. Also, this city was planned to be one of the main intermediary regions for Russian merchants to buy eastern goods and sell them in the west.
During the Russian Caucasus campaign, Davud Bey, whom Peter I used as an excuse for interfering in the Safavid properties, continued his resistance against the Russians. Although he besieged Daband in 1722, he could not capture the city. After the failure, he retreated, plundering the regions around the city. At the time of this attack, Darbend had been in the hands of the Russians for several months.

## Result

According to the agreement signed by Ismayil Mirza, the representative of the new Safavid king Tahmasp II in Petersburg in 1723, the Safavids would be sent from Darband to Gilan against the Afghan rebels. Caspian coastal provinces agreed to pass into the hands of the Russians. However, Tahmasib II, who learned about the terms of this agreement, did not ratify the agreement, and therefore, knowing that he would be executed, the representative Ismail Mirza did not return to the Safavid empire.
The Russian troops, who held the Safavid lands for a while, returned all the lands they had acquired in the campaign of 1722–1723 with the Treaty of Rasht in the first stage, and the Treaty of Ganja in the second stage.

The Muslims – known as the Mahomedans at the time – joined the Bombay tournament in 1912, when they accepted an invitation from the Europeans, Hindus and Parsees to expand the competition, which was renamed the Bombay Quadrangular.
The Muslims shared the title after a drawn match with the Hindus in 1913–14, won outright for first time in 1924–25 when they beat the Hindus, and had a strong team during the last decade or so of the tournament's existence, winning the title six times between 1934–35 and 1944–45.

# A Gift (film)

A Gift, known in Thai as Pohn Jak Fah (Thai: พรจากฟ้า, RTGS: Phon Chak Fa, meaning "blessings from the sky"), is a 2016 Thai film released by GDH 559. An anthology in three segments, the film explores the theme of music as gifts and pays tribute to the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej's musical compositions.
Each of the film's segments is based on one of the King's compositions. The first segment, based on the song "Love at Sundown", is a romantic comedy directed by Chayanop Boonprakob and Kriangkrai Vachiratamporn. It stars Naphat Siangsomboon and Violette Wautier. The second, "Still on My Mind", is a family drama directed by Nithiwat Tharathorn, and stars Nittha Jirayungyurn and Sunny Suwanmethanont. The final segment, "New Year Greeting" is a comedy by Jira Maligool (who also co-produced the film), starring Chantavit Dhanasevi and Neungthida Sophon.
The film was originally slated for release on 1 December 2016, to celebrate King Bhumibol's birthday on 5 December as well as the upcoming new year. However, the King died on 13 October, and the producers considered postponing the release. They ultimately decided to keep to the original release date, making some minor edits so that the film would serve as a tribute to the late king.
A Gift was positively received. Critics described it as "funny and sentimental without being cloying," and, noting the release's relation to the King's passing, that "we need to smile, and this film has plenty to offer." It earned a moderate 42.88 million baht at the Thai box office (US$1.2 million), and was the fourth-grossing Thai film of 2016. The film won two Suphannahong National Film Awards, for Best Original Score and Best Recording and Sound Mixing.
# Leselidze (town)

Leselidze (Georgian: ლესელიძე, Leselidze; Armenian: Լեսելիձե; Russian: Леселидзе) or Gyachrypsh (Abkhaz: Гьачрыҧшь, G'achryphsh; Russian: Гячрыпш) is a town in Abkhazia. Formerly named Yermolovsk, the town is located on the shores of the Black Sea and is 14 kilometers from the city of Gagra.

## History

The town was founded in the 19th century as the settlement Yermolovsk (Russian: Ермоловск), named in honor of the Minister of Agriculture A.S. Yermolov who traveled to this place in 1894. Some authors linked the name of the settlement to General Yermolov (commander of the Caucasian war), but this presumption is apparently erroneous.
In 1944 the town was officially renamed in honor of the national hero Colonel-General Konstantin Leselidze (1903-1944) who fought in the Caucasus during World War II. In the post-war years the town saw a lot of improvements, it was developed as a vacation site. A children's sanatorium was built as well as a resort and a sports training base. The base was favored by top Soviet athletes. Soviet Union national football (soccer) team and other Soviet football clubs trained there as well as handball players and track-and-field athletes.
In 1975 a monument (created by Silovan Kakabadze) of Konstantin Leselidze was erected in the town. In September 1992, after the fall of Gagra during the 1992–1993 war in Abkhazia, Abkhazian troops destroyed the monument along with other Georgian landmarks.
In 1992, the town was renamed Gyachrypsh by the unrecognized Abkhazian authorities. The name “Gyachrypsh” originated from the territory which was ruled by the Abkhazian prince named Gech or Gechkuaj. In historical literature there is a variation: “Gechiler” (Circassian “Gech-chiler”).
In his book My War, Chechen diary of a trench General, Russian general Gennady Troshev accused Shamil Basayev of perpetrating war crimes in the area around Leselidze in the aftermath of the 1992–1993 war:
   “The trademark of Basayev’s 'janissaries' (numbering around 5000) in that war was senseless cruelty. In autumn of 1993 in the vicinity of Gagra and the town Lеselidze 'the commander' personally led a punitive action for the extermination of refugees. Several thousand Georgians were killed, hundreds of Armenian, Russian and Greek families slaughtered. According to the accounts of miraculously survived eyewitnesses, the bandits took pleasure in videotaping the scenes of abuse and rape.”
Under Abkhazian control the town is known to feature two all-inclusive resorts - "Gech" and "Laguna".

## Demographics

In 1959, Leselidze was principally inhabited by Russians, Armenians, and Estonians.
