# Taulant Balla

Taulant Balla (born 12 August 1977) is an Albanian Socialist Party politician and Member of Parliament (MP) for Librazhd. He was first elected MP in the 2005 general election. He has held the offices of General Secretary and Parliamentary group leader of the Socialist Party. Currently, he is the Minister of State for Relations with Parliament.

## Political career

He was first elected MP in the 2005 general election and then for two other legislatures successively as a member of the parliamentary group of the Socialist Party.
He is the political leader for the Socialist Party in Fier.
In 2020, Balla proposed a measure to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism and promise to fight anti-Jewish prejudice. The measure was accepted unanimously by the Parliament of Albania, and Albania became the first Muslim country to formally adopt the definition.

### Plagiarism assertion

In October 2018, many Albanian public figures and politicians were alleged to have been part of a plagiarism scandal, involving their Masters and Ph.D. theses. The assertions were begun by Taulant Muka, a young epidemiologist educated in the Netherlands. The assertions sparked nationwide protests from students of public universities, leading to a vetting for all academic titles held by public figures, state officials, and politicians. The PhD thesis of Balla, entitled The Reform of Decision-Making System in the European Union, supervised by Professor George Poede at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iaşi, Romania, was named in the scandal. In 2019, following an accusation of plagiarism, the university forwarded the charge to the consultative body of the ministry of national education that investigates such accusations.

## Personal life

Balla is married to Iris Pekmezi and has two children, a boy, Robin and a girl, Melani. Balla is a supporter of German football club Bayern Munich.
# 1997 Eastern Slavonia integrity referendum

1997 Eastern Slavonia integrity referendum was held on 6 April in short-lived Serb parallel entity of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia which at the time was already governed by the United Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) as an UN governed territory. Voters were asked whether they supported the proposal for the region of Eastern Slavonia to remain a single territorial oblast within Croatia after the end of UNTAES mandate instead of division into Vukovar-Syrmia and Osijek-Baranja County. Reportedly 99.01% or 99.5% of voters voted for the integrity of the region within Croatia. 77,40% out of 100.275 registered voters participated in the referendum.
The Government of Croatia as well as the United Nations declared the referendum to be illegitimate. Referendum was organized by the parallel Serb bodies in the region ahead of the 1997 Croatian local elections with Spokesperson for the United States Department of State R. Nicholas Burns encouraging all citizens of Croatia, Croats and Serbs, to participate in Croatian local elections. Despite the referendum outcome Serbs in the region nonetheless participated in Croatian local elections and a new moderate Serb political party Independent Democratic Serb Party won majority of their votes.
From the beginning the referendum initiative was perceived as an internal political struggle between the moderates (at the time led by Vojislav Stanimirović) and hawkish (led by Goran Hadžić) group among the local Serb political leadership. While hawkish proposal gained overwhelming electorate support, contrary to the war years moderates managed to prevail due to international support for the moderate course, and additional change of position towards moderates both by parties which will form the Democratic Opposition of Serbia and Slobodan Milošević regime.
Following the referendum, Vojislav Stanimirović met with the President of Croatia Franjo Tuđman where he stated his belief that "the best option would be a Serb county, but if neither Croatia nor the international community is willing to accept it then the formation of the council of Serb municipalities as planned in Erdut Agreement is the second-best option".

# The Paston Treasure

The Paston Treasure is a c. 1663 oil painting depicting two figures among the family treasures of Sir William and Sir Robert Paston, a father-son pair of English adventurers. Commissioned by either Robert or William in the early 1660s, it serves as a historically rare record of a cabinet of treasures in British collecting. It was executed by an unknown Dutch artist who resided at the Paston family residence at Oxnead Hall near Aylsham in Norfolk for approximately 3 months, in order to complete the commission.

## Description

The objects were collected by Sir Robert and Sir William who made acquisitions on a long journey travelling through Europe and on to Cairo and Jerusalem. The collection consisted of over 200 objects and included many natural curiosities made into decorative art objects, such as mounted seashells and ostrich eggs. The painting was unknown for centuries, and before it was donated to the Norwich Castle Museum in 1947, its last owner warned that it was "very faded, of no artistic value, only curious from an archaeological point of view." It is now on display, with the strombus shell in an enamelled mount, as part of the Norwich Castle Museum Collection.
The people shown in the painting include a girl, possibly Margaret, daughter of Robert Paston, and a young Black man, who may represent a real enslaved individual or a fictional person included to symbolise reference to William Paston’s travels.
It was the subject of an exhibition in 2018 in which Norwich Castle Museum in partnership with the Yale Center for British Art in the USA.

# Spare Time

Spare Time is a 1939 British film directed by Humphrey Jennings for the GPO Film Unit, and made for the 1939 New York World's Fair. It is 15 minutes long and documents the leisure activities of workers in the coal, steel, and cotton industries in Sheffield, Bolton, Manchester and Pontypridd. Commentary is provided by Laurie Lee.
Time Out calls it "A touching, troubling encapsulation of 1930s Britain." Spare Time was the subject of one of a set of ten postage stamps produced by the Royal Mail in 2015 to commemorate British cinema classics, including four from the GPO Film Unit.

## Production

Spare Time is a 1939 British film directed by Humphrey Jennings for the GPO Film Unit, and made for the 1939 New York World's Fair, to show how the working class in Britain spent their leisure time in the 1930s. It runs for a duration of 15 minutes.

## Synopsis

It documents the leisure activities of workers in the coal, steel and cotton industries in Sheffield, Bolton, Manchester and Pontypridd. It depicts in short clips activities like wrestling, ballroom dancing, card games and pigeon fanciers. Strung together in startling combinations to the sounds of brass bands, choirs, and jazz. Commentary is provided by Laurie Lee.

## Reception

Paul Swann has described Spare Time as an "early example of Jennings's aural and visual poetry on film" that showed the direction in which his film-making would go after the Second World War. The film does not analyse social or economic problems, and is almost free of narrative commentary. Basil Wright felt that the film portrayed a "patronising, sometimes almost sneering attitude towards the efforts of low-income groups". The art historian David Mellor felt that Spare Time was the work most emblematic of a 'pop iconography' until the 1950s work of Tom Phillips and the Independent Group.
Time Out has called the film "A touching, troubling encapsulation of 1930s Britain." Scott Anthony, in a profile of the film for the British Film Institute's Screenonline describes Spare Time as "an incredible portrait of the prewar working class and an early illustration of Humphrey Jennings' genius". Anthony felt the film possessed a "a similar cinematic catalogue" to Jennings's book Pandaemonium and that the film was "an obvious extension" of Jennings's work with the British amateur anthropological Mass-Observation organisation.
In 2015, Spare Time was the subject of one of a set of ten postage stamps produced by Royal Mail to commemorate British cinema classics, including four from the GPO Film Unit.

George Murray came to Racine from Scotland in 1850, became a partner with Daniel Slauson in his lumber, lath and shingle business, and married his daughter in 1855. Mrs. Murray inherited the land on which the house was built from her father in 1865. It was purchased by Our Savior's Lutheran Church for $38,000 in 1949.
