# Wang To-far

Wang To-far (Chinese: 王塗發; born 10 April 1948) is a Taiwanese economist and politician.

## Career

Wang earned his bachelor's degree in economics in 1976 by attending night school at National Chung Hsing University's Taipei campus. He then pursued further study in the subject at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he earned his master's degree in 1980 and his Ph.D. degree in 1983. Upon his return to Taiwan, Wang taught at his alma mater. He was a member of the Legislative Yuan from 2005 to 2008, and served on the legislature's Procedure Committee. Upon leaving the Legislative Yuan, Wang resumed teaching.

## Political stances

Wang is against use of nuclear power, and has backed legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as further investment in water management. In comments on the energy sector in Taiwan, Wang has pushed for the breakup of a monopoly belonging to the state-run Taiwan Power Company. He believes that setting quotas for the production of renewable energy is inefficient and insufficient.
Wang has called for the enforcement of regulations on the Cross-Strait economic relationship, opposing concentrated and continual investment in China without safeguards. He has advocated that the government support technological research and development. Wang himself is supportive of the 908 Taiwan Republic Campaign.
Wang has been critical of policies put forth by the Ma Ying-jeou presidential administration, many of which are against Wang's political positions. He said that a budget proposed by the Executive Yuan in 2009 would likely be used to invest in local political factions that would indirectly solicit votes for the Kuomintang at later dates instead. He strongly denounced the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement, stating that the agreement was "a contract to sell out Taiwan" serving as "a short cut to political unification." In 2012, Wang described the Ma administration's Economic Power-up Plan as "complicated and nigh incomprehensible." The next year, Wang said of the Ma administration, "What we are facing is an evil, cold-blooded and shameless government" due to their support of the Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant project.

# Abbe Museum

The Abbe Museum is a museum with two locations in Bar Harbor, Maine, on Mount Desert Island. The museum is dedicated to exploring the history and culture of Maine's Native people, the Wabanaki. It has one location at 26 Mount Desert Street in the center of Bar Harbor, and a second location at Sieur de Monts in Acadia National Park. The Sieur de Monts building is an architecturally distinctive structure, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the state's first purpose-built museum buildings, and as a rare example in the state of Mediterranean architecture.
The museum was formerly led by CEO Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko, who has been an advocate for decolonizing museums. In 2020, the Abbe board of trustees hired Passamaquoddy tribal citizen Chris Newell to lead the museum under the dual role of Executive Director and Sr. Partner to Wabanaki Nations.

## Collections

The museum collections include a large number of artifacts fashioned during prehistoric and historic times by Native Americans and by Europeans who began arriving in the area in the early 17th century. Stone artifacts include projectile (arrow and spear) points; bone artifacts include harpoons, hooks, combs, and a rare flute that may be as much as 2,000 years old. Also included are large number of baskets, and a powder horn attributed to the Penobscot chief Orono. The core of the collection was made by the pioneering radiologist Robert Abbe, who retired to Mount Desert Island after becoming enfeebled by the long-term effects of radiation exposure.

## Architecture

The Sieur de Monts building was designed by Edmund M. Gilchrist, and was completed in 1928. Stylistically it has elements of both the Spanish Colonial Revival and the Italian Renaissance, and has a unique octagonal space specifically designed in consultation with Dr. Abbe to house his collections. It is believed to be the only non-domestic example of Mediterranean architecture in the state, and was its first purpose-built museum building.
# Nation of Language

Nation of Language is an American indie pop band that formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2016. The group consists of Ian Richard Devaney (lead vocals, guitar, synthesizer, percussion), Aidan Noell (synthesizer, backing vocals), and Alex MacKay (bass guitar). Michael Sue-Poi was the bassist prior to the band's 2022 tour.

## History

Devaney and Sue-Poi were both members of the Static Jacks, but the band became inactive after the release of their second album. Devaney was inspired to start a new project after hearing "Electricity" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in his father's car, a track he listened to in his childhood. What started out as Devaney "fooling around" on a keyboard later evolved into Nation of Language, with the addition of Devaney's partner Noell and former Static Jacks bandmate Sue-Poi. Current bassist Alex MacKay joined the band in 2022.
The band released a number of singles from 2016 through to 2019, before releasing their debut album Introduction, Presence in May 2020. The album, which Billboard has since described as "an irresistible confection of familiar and new sounds," resonated with many new fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, vastly widening the band's reach.
A Way Forward, their second full-length album, was released on November 5, 2021. Devaney took inspiration from Krautrock, Kraftwerk, and early synthesizer music in the making of the album, which once released, solidified them as "mainstays of '20s synth-pop music," according to a positive review by Paste. The band made their television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in January 2022, performing their song "Across That Fine Line".
On March 8, 2023, the band released the single "Sole Obsession." On April 13, 2023, the band released the single "Weak in Your Light" and announced their next album, Strange Disciple, released on September 15, 2023. On July 26, 2023 the band released the single "Too Much, Enough" accompanied by a music video directed by filmmaker Robert Kolodny. The star studded take down of media culture featured actors Reggie Watts, Jimmi Simpson and Ruby Wolf and well as musicians Adam Green from The Moldy Peaches, Kevin Morby and Tomberlin. In November 2023, Strange Disciple topped Rough Trade's 100 Albums of 2023, landing the coveted #1 spot.
Since 2018, Devaney has also been the lead vocalist for Machinegum, a side project created by the Strokes' drummer, Fabrizio Moretti.
