# Kimon Nicolaïdes

Kimon Nicolaїdes (June 10, 1891 – July 18, 1938), was an American artist, educator, and author. During World War I, he served in the United States Army in France as a camouflage artist. He taught at the Art Students League of New York after the war. Nicolaїdes' book The Natural Way to Draw (1941) provided a new method of teaching drawing, and was widely used.

## Early life

Nicolaïdes was born in Washington, D.C., to Kimon Nicolaïdes, an immigrant from Greece, and Louisa (née McLaughlin), a member of an Irish-American family rooted in Saratoga Springs, New York. His father worked as an importer of Asian artifacts. Nicolaïdes was the third of four children. He made his living initially by a variety of jobs, including picture framing, journalism, and even by appearing once in a film as an extra, playing the role of an art student.
Despite his family's opposition, he did in fact become an art student, during which he attended the Art Students League of New York in New York City, where he studied with John Sloan, George Bridgman, and Kenneth Hayes Miller. At the Art Students League, he met the avant-garde couple Wilhelmina Weber Furlong and her husband Thomas Furlong.

## Career

He served in the U.S. Army in France during World War I, where he was one of the first American camouflage artists, serving in the American Camouflage Corps alongside Barry Faulkner, Sherry Edmundson Fry, Abraham Rattner and others. Among his wartime duties, he often worked with contour maps.
Nicolaïdes worked as a member of the board of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation which administered the foundation and managed the Tiffany's Laurelton Hall estate (nicknamed the Oyster Bay estate).

### Teaching career

Following World War I, he returned to New York to teach at the Art Students League of New York. One of his students was artist Revington Arthur. While teaching, he developed a method of teaching drawing that he shared in the world-famous and widely used The Natural Way to Draw (1941).

## His influence

At the time of Nicolaïdes' death, the manuscript for The Natural Way to Draw was incomplete. A close friend and former student, Mamie Harmon, oversaw its completion and its publication in 1941. (Harmon's papers are available in the Archives of American Art.) His influence on the teaching of drawing has been long-lasting and substantial, and his book is still in use today. In brief, he taught drawing by (1) exploring the edge of the subject with 'contour drawing', (2) encouraging free and rapid 'gesture drawing', (3) encouraging tonal drawings of weight or mass, and (4) (most importantly) prescribing a daily exercise of 'memory drawing'.

## Personal life

In 1922, he married Anna English. They had three sons.

## Early life

Ruhren first wore drag when he was very young, masquerading as his sister's “cousin from out of town” as a practical joke, where he wore his sister's cheerleader pompoms to act as his hair and breasts. He later said that that was when he first knew he would pass as a female in the future, even if he looked like “a fat Raggedy Ann”. Ruhren went to his first drag club when he was 17, where he saw Raja perform. He is Jewish.

Betty was announced to be one of twelve competing on season eight of RuPaul's Drag Race on February 1, 2016. She was eliminated in episode five after performing badly on the annual snatch game challenge, and later losing a lip sync to Madonna's "Causing a Commotion" against Naomi Smalls.
After the show, Betty made a cameo appearance in The Path in 2018.
In July 2020, Betty was featured in Drive N' Drag, a drive-in drag show.

## Details

He was around 31 years old, and a colour-sergeant in the 1st Battalion, 60th Rifles, British Army during the Indian Mutiny when the following deed took place on 23 June 1857 at Delhi, India for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross:
   For daring and gallant conduct before Delhi on the 23rd of June, 1857, in volunteering to lead a small party of men, under a heavy fire, to the "Sammy House," for the purpose of dislodging a number of the Enemy in position there, who kept up a destructive fire on the advanced battery of heavy guns, in which, after a sharp contest, he succeeded.

# Arnold River (New Zealand)

The Arnold River (Māori: Kōtukuwhakaoka) is a river on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. It is the outflow of Lake Brunner, which it links with the Grey River at Stillwater. The Arnold River flows northwest for 20 kilometres (12 mi), joining the Grey immediately above the town of Brunner, some 15 kilometres (9 mi) from the Tasman Sea. It is a popular spot for whitewater kayaking and trout fishing.

## Naming and early exploration

The river was known to Māori as Kōtukuwhakaoka, the name of a Māori chief from the North Island who had followed it upstream to the lake. According to legend, the chief was attacked and killed by a lake taniwha, which later became one of the two islands in the lake after it was in turn killed by his son. Explorer Thomas Brunner, who was the first European to travel up the river to its source, spelled it "Kotu-urakaoka" in the proclamation that in 1853 defined the provincial boundaries.
In 1859 surveyor John Rochfort and his men arrived at the opposite shore of the lake, which he proceeded to name after Brunner. They made a canoe from a hollowed-out kahikatea log and paddled across the lake to where flowed into the Kōtukuwhakaoka, which Rochfort named the "Arnould River". The name "Arnould" appears on maps in the 1860s, but from 1865 onwards the river was usually spelled "Arnold". Rochfort attempted to survey the "Arnould River" by canoe, but it was choked up with logs and snags, and the party eventually abandoned their vessel for "dreary marches in the midst of drenching rain."

## Power station

The Arnold Power Station is on the river close to its confluence with the Grey. TrustPower, which operates the current hydroelectric station, has a proposal for another hydro-electricity scheme on the river.

## Bridge and walkway

In the early days of the settlement of Moana, Noel Peat owned land in the township and across the mouth of the Arnold River, and since 1929 had petitioned the government to build a bridge at Moana connecting the two. No bridge was built, until in 1990 as part of New Zealand sesquicentennial celebrations Fletcher Challenge and the Department of Conservation collaborated on the construction of a 83-metre footbridge, which took 15 weeks to build, opening on 15 September 1990. It provided public access to the Tasman Forest Accord Scenic Reserve, 2050 ha of native forest protected from logging in 1989. The Lake Brunner Centennial Committee later developed a walking trial along the western shore of the Arnold River, now known as the Rakaitane Walk.$^{:54}$
# Haydn Dickenson

Haydn Dickenson is an artist, piano teacher and former classical pianist. He was born in 1961 in Hertfordshire, UK, where he still lives.
Haydn's piano studies culminated in a period during the 1990s when he studied in London with the renowned pianist, composer, and pedagogue Peter Feuchtwanger, who became his principal influence and mentor and in whose legendary International Masterclasses he assisted. Haydn considers this episode to be the most important in his musical development
Haydn has received both public and critical acclaim across Europe and Great Britain for his performances of a wide repertoire embracing Baroque through to contemporary works. His name became particularly associated with New Music; he has collaborated closely with several notable contemporary composers including Claus Gahrn, Hans G Leonhardt, Eric Schwartz, John White, Robert Coleridge, Michael Chant and others. His name has also become linked, through many live performances, to the phenomenal compositions of Cornelius Cardew.
Haydn's album, EAST was released to acclaim with a launch recital at Leighton House, Holland Park, London, in May 2006. The album, on the Music Chamber label, features the complete Piano Music of Peter Feuchtwanger.
Tracks from EAST have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM, and Haydn has been a regular guest on Resonance FM, when he has discussed and performed the works of Cardew, Feuchtwanger and others.
Haydn teaches piano and theory of music from his home in Hertfordshire. Several of his former students have gone on to enjoy successful careers in music.
Alongside music, Haydn has held a lifelong passion for the visual arts. In latter years, Haydn has shifted away from piano performance, towards a separate career as an artist. His output comprises contemporary abstract work and tasteful nudes in oils, acrylic, watercolour and other media. He has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad, and has sold to clients worldwide. He is inspired by the natural world, and by spirituality and sensuality.
Haydn exhibits every Sunday on Bayswater Road, London, as part of the Open-Air Art Exhibition.

# Nicoleño language

The Nicoleño language is an extinct language formerly spoken on San Nicolas Island by the Nicoleño. It went extinct with Juana Maria's death in 1853. Its extant remnants consist only of four words and two songs attributed to her. This evidence was recorded by non-speakers, as contemporary accounts are clear that no one could be found who could understand Juana Maria. The four Nicoleño words that were translated were tocah, meaning "animal hide"; nache, meaning "man"; toygwah, meaning "sky"; and puoochay, meaning "body".
Based on this limited evidence, Alfred L. Kroeber in 1907 identified Nicoleño as a "Shoshonean language" – and classified it with the Takic branch of Uto-Aztecan that includes Tongva (Gabrieliño), spoken on Santa Catalina Island and the adjacent coast, and Luiseño, spoken to the south. Most subsequent linguists have followed Kroeber's conclusions.
In 2000, linguist Pamela Munro argued that Nicoleño was part of the Cupan group of Takic languages, and not closely related to Tongva. According to Munro's analysis, Nicoleño had similarities to both the Luiseño–Juaneño and the Cupeño–Cahuilla branches of Cupan, and possibly represented a third distinct branch.
# Laila McQueen

Laila McQueen is the stage name of Tyler Devlin, a drag performer and make-up artist based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. McQueen competed on season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2016. She has won a Primetime Emmy Award as a make-up artist for the HBO reality series We're Here.

## Early life

Devlin was born in New Hampshire to Cathy and Michael Devlin, and raised in Manchester. She moved to Gloucester as a teenager. McQueen was artistic in school, which led to bullying from her peers. She started cross dressing in high school at age 15 to ignore the bullying and to showcase her creative outlet before doing drag as a career at 18. She graduated from Gloucester High School in 2011.
When asked about describing her drag, McQueen said "I'm an idiot, I'm such an idiot. I just like to have fun and for other people to have fun, too. I started doing drag from a negative place to replace those feelings. I've always wanted to be a rock star and this is my way to express that, and I'm an artist above all else. Drag gave me an extension to capture those dreams you didn't think would happen, and I've gotten a lot of things I never thought I'd be able to."
Laila graduated from New Hampshire Institute of Art in 2015, before she moved back to Gloucester.

## Career

In 2016, McQueen was cast for season 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race. On the first episode, she placed in the bottom with Naysha Lopez and won a lip sync to "Applause" by Lady Gaga. On the second episode, she placed in the bottom again with Dax ExclamationPoint. Both were eliminated after a lip sync to "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. McQueen has said she wanted to impersonate Betsey Johnson, Courtney Love, or Theresa Caputo for the Snatch Game challenge.
After Drag Race, she worked as a make-up artist from RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race with Shannel and Mayhem Miller. McQueen did make-up for Jordan Connor on the show. Later on, she also did make-up for the cast of We're Here. In 2022, McQueen won the Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Program for her work on the episode "Kona, Hawaii".

## Personal life

McQueen has a rare anxiety disorder called misophonia. She has lived in Chicago, Illinois, since 2017, but works in many locations. When she was 19, she was banned from the University of Maine for a performance that involved a Bible being covered in blood.
# Coming Home Now

"Coming Home Now" is the sixth single taken from Irish boy band Boyzone's debut album, Said and Done (1995). It was their only single to be written solely by the group, without any outside co-writers. Released in February 1996 by Polydor, it peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Boyzone's only solo single to miss the top three prior to their initial split in 2000. The song has received a silver sales certification for shipping 200,000 units in the UK. In Ireland, the song broke their consecutive string of four number-one hits by reaching number two.

## Critical reception

Music Week gave 'Coming Home Now' four out of five, writing, "Boyzone should clinch a fifth consecutive top three hit with this sweet, self-penned ballad that has all the ingredients which have made the band so big, plus luscious strings arranged by Anne Dudley." Mark Beaumont from NME described it as a "toe-dip into East 17's smouldering bucket of raunch". Smash Hits gave it three out of five, naming it "a slow, smoochy song reminiscent of PJ & Duncan's 'Eternal Love'."

# Lualaba Province

Lualaba Province (Jimbo la Lualaba, in Swahili) is a province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning when the former Katanga province was split up into four new provinces—Lualaba, Haut-Katanga, Haut-Lomami, and Tanganyika. Lualaba was formed from the Lualaba and Kolwezi districts. Kolwezi was a hybrid city/district which was separated from its two territories and the city proper became the capital of the new province. The 2020 population was estimated to be 3,183,300.
Along with Haut-Katanga, Lualaba is in the Copperbelt of Central Africa. The Congo is only behind Chile, Peru, and China in the largest amount of copper produced globally.

## Former province

Lualaba Province was separated from Katanga Province on 30 June 1963. Then, on 24 April 1966, it was united with Katanga Oriental to form Sud-Katanga Province, which was later merged back into Katanga. The President of Lualaba, from 1965 the governor, was Dominique Diur who held office from 23 September 1963 until 24 April 1966.
