Events in 1874 in animation.

## Events

* December 9: In 1874, Jules Janssen made several practice discs for the recording of the passage of Venus with his series Passage de Vénus, which he intended to record with his photographic revolver. He used a model of the planet and a light source standing in for the Sun. While actual recordings of the passage of Venus have not been located, some practice discs survived and the images of one were turned into a short animated film after the development of cinematography. The images were purportedly taken in Japan by Janssen himself and the Brazilian engineer Francisco Antônio de Almeida by using Janssen's photographic revolver. The revolver could take several dozens of exposures at regulated intervals on a daguerreotype disc. The Janssen revolver was the instrument that originated chronophotography, a branch of photography based on capturing movement from a sequence of images. To create the apparatus Pierre Janssen was inspired by the revolving cylinder of Samuel Colt's revolver.

# Oleksandrivka, Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast

Oleksandrivka (Ukrainian: Олександрівка) is a village (selo) in Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine. It has formerly been called Bublykov, Nyzhni Solonets, Kashov, Shtykhov, and Miloradovich. The population was approximately 2,596 people.

## Administrative status

Until 18 July 2020, Oleksandrivka was located in the Bilozerka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Bilozerka Raion was merged into Kherson Raion.

## Geography

The village is on the shore of the Dnieper–Bug estuary, an inlet of the Black Sea. A lake at the western end of the village is separated from the estuary by a narrow strip of land with a road running along it. Beyond the lake, the coastal strip is part of the 996-hectare Oleksandrivka protected landscape area of national importance, which was created in 2002.

## History

Oleksandrivka is located near the suburbs of Olbia Pontica, an ancient Greek colony on the mouth of the river Borysthenes. The ruins of the colony were discovered in 1895 by Viktor Goshkevych [uk] and were excavated systematically by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
In 1754, the village of Oleksandrivka was founded by the Cossacks. There were winter quarters and fish factories (called Sapetnya), where the Cossacks were engaged in fishing and extracting salt from the Dnieper–Bug liman (estuary).
In 1781, the estate of Russian general Pyotr Rumyantsev had surrounded the earlier Cossack settlement, and a formal village was proclaimed.
Several important battles of the Russo-Turkish War of 1787–1792 took place in the liman next to Oleksandrivka. These battles included the Dnieper Flotilla, John Paul Jones's deep-water fleet, and the Ottoman Navy, which fought in the First Battle of the Liman on June 7, 1788, and the Second Battle of the Liman on June 16–17.
In 1918, the village became part of Ukrainian People's Republic. With the failure of the Ukrainian War of Independence, the village became part of the Soviet Union. In 2015, during nationwide decommunization, a statue of Vladimir Lenin was torn down by an unknown person.

### 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Oleksandrivka changed hands multiple times due to its location between the cities of Mykolaiv and Kherson. The area was primarily defended by Ukraine's 28th Mechanized Brigade. As a result of the village's location on the front line, 90% of its buildings were destroyed.

## Demographics

The native languages as of the Ukrainian Census of 2001 were:
* Ukrainian 90.68%
* Russian 8.59%
* Moldovan 0.23%
* Belarusian 0.19%
* Others 0.39%

"Bück dich" (German:, lit. 'Bend Down' or 'Bend Over') is a song by the Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein that first appeared on their second studio album, Sehnsucht, and as one of the B-sides to the CD version of "Du hast".

## Live performance and controversy

When performing it live, vocalist Till Lindemann has simulated anal sex with keyboardist Christian Lorenz using a water-squirting dildo.
Due to the controversial nature of the act, Lindemann and Lorenz were both arrested after a concert held on June 5, 1999 in Worcester, Massachusetts. They were each fined $200 and spent the night in jail. Consequently, three versions of Rammstein's Live aus Berlin were released - one VHS including "Bück dich", another VHS and DVD without it and the uncensored DVD including the song.

## Comeback

The song made a comeback in the Made in Germany 1995–2011 tour. It was also performed in Worcester again, without any incidents. Footage of the original concert was also rereleased in the 2024 edition of concert DVD Live aus Berlin after previously being censored.

# Jason Dawe (presenter)

Jason Andrew Dawe (born 4 May 1967) is an English journalist and television presenter. Brought up in Cornwall, Dawe worked at car dealerships and as a motoring industry trainer; he had been a long-time columnist of the motoring section of The Sunday Times. He also presented the first series of the rebooted Top Gear on BBC Two alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond before being replaced by James May from the next series of the show onwards.

## Journalism

Dawe is a regular columnist in The Sunday Times motoring section, where he has written extensively about used cars. Together with Nick Rufford of The Sunday Times he has also made many video broadcasts of car reviews. He writes for many other motoring magazines and is a regular contributor to radio and TV shows as a motoring expert.
In addition to this, Dawe has also been occasionally known to write in the Automobile Association magazine.

## Television career

Initially, Jeremy Clarkson wanted James May to present the rebooted series of Top Gear; however, May was rejected by the BBC, with Dawe agreeing to present the first series alongside Clarkson and Richard Hammond.
When May wished to present the show for the second series due to the increasing popularity of the programme, Clarkson thought about Dawe staying and to have four presenters. However, his co-presenter Richard Hammond was close to being fired by BBC management alongside Dawe. Nevertheless show executive producer Andy Wilman strongly supported Hammond's position on the show at the time, stating later in Top Gear magazine "There was no doubt that Richard would stay”.
Following his departure from Top Gear, Dawe returned to his presenting career in 2005, appearing on ITV's Used Car Roadshow with Penny Mallory until the programme was cancelled in 2007. From 2009 to 2010, he presented Classic Gear alongside Mallory and Alice Crocker, a show about classic cars. Dawe went on to present the 2020 Body Shop Awards, reuniting with Mallory again.
