# Geoff Blethyn

Geoffrey Russell Blethyn (born 28 October 1950) is a former leading Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL), Claremont in the Western Australian Football League (WAFL) and Port Adelaide in the South Australian Football League (SANFL).

## Family

The son of Oliver Blethyn (1910-2004), and Honor Evelyn Blethyn (1917-2000), née Searle, Geoffrey Russell Blethyn was born at Moreland, Victoria on 28 October 1950.

## Football career
### Essendon (1968–1972)

A full-forward, Blethyn had a slim frame and famously wore glasses on the field.
He made his debut in April 1968 when he was selected on the half-forward flank in place of the injured Alan Noonan.
He kicked four goals in Essendon's 1968 Grand Final loss to Carlton, and had his most prolific game up forward when he kicked 11 goals against Footscray during the 1972 VFL season. 1972 was a record breaking-year for Blethyn—he finished it with 107 goals and became the first Essendon player since John Coleman in 1950 to kick over 100 in a season. However, he missed out on the Coleman Medal to Collingwood's Peter McKenna, who kicked 130 goals for the season.

### Claremont (1973–1975)

From 1973 to 1975 Blethyn played for WAFL club Claremont.

### Essendon (1976)

Blethyn returned to Essendon in 1976, where he topped his team's goalkicking table with 39 goals. It was the third time Blethyn had finished a season as Essendon's top goalkicker, having previously done so in 1970 and 1972.

### Port Adelaide (1977)

Blethyn left Essendon for good in 1977 when he transferred to SANFL club Port Adelaide. In that season, he played in the only premiership side of his career.

## After football

Blethyn currently lives in Adelaide and works as a property advisor.
# Gibbes Museum of Art

The Gibbes Museum of Art, formerly known as the Gibbes Art Gallery, is an art museum in Charleston, South Carolina. Established as the Carolina Art Association in 1858, the museum moved into a new Beaux Arts building at 135 Meeting Street, in the Charleston Historic District, in 1905. The Gibbes houses a premier collection of over 10,000 works of fine art, principally American works, many with a connection to Charleston or the South.
The benefactor, James Shoolbred Gibbes, donated $100,000 to the Carolina Arts Association for the "erection of a suitable building for the exhibitions of paintings." The city did not receive the money until after the resolution of a will contest filed by nieces and nephews of Gibbes. Their case was heard in the state court of New York during 1900 and 1901. On December 6, 1901, the New York Supreme Court (the state's trial-level court) issued an opinion declaring that the gift to Charleston was valid.
After receiving the money in 1903, the Association hired Frank Pierce Milburn to design the gallery. He planned a Tiffany-style dome, Doric columns, and pediment-capped windows and doors. Milburn completed the drawings of the building in mid-1903, and a drawing of the proposed building was published in the Charleston Evening Post on June 5, 1903. Notices were published seeking contractors' bids for the work starting in August 1903.
In September 1903, H.T. Zacharias was selected as the contractor and received a contract for $73,370 for the building. Zacharias started work on September 28, 1903, removing the remains of the South Carolina Agricultural Hall that had occupied the lot. Although work on the foundations had begun already, a ceremony was held on December 8, 1903, to lay the cornerstone of the building at the northeast corner.
The museum formally opened on April 11, 1905. The collection on display on the opening day included more than 300 pictures, many bronzes, and about 200 miniatures in addition to an "instructive collection" of Japanese prints.
After closing in the early 21st century for an extensive two-year, $13.5 million renovation, the museum reopened to the public on May 28, 2016. In renovating the museum, the development teams used the original blueprints, discovered in the City of Charleston archives in 2008, to return the building to its 1905 Beaux Arts style layout. The first floor has classrooms, artist studios, lecture and event spaces, and a museum store. The rear reception area opens to the garden, part of Charleston's historic Gateway Walk founded by the Garden Club of Charleston. The entire ground floor of the museum is admission-free.
The museum's collections include the work of numerous artists with connections to Charleston, including Charles Fraser, William Melton Halsey, Ned I.R. Jennings, Henrietta Johnston, Mary Roberts, Merton Simpson, and Jeremiah Theus. The museum also has collected photographs by George LaGrange Cook, including photographs taken after the 1886 Charleston earthquake.

# Revivalistics

Revivalistics: From the Genesis of Israeli to Language Reclamation in Australia and Beyond is a book written by linguist Ghil'ad Zuckermann. It was published in 2020 by Oxford University Press. The book introduces revivalistics, a trans-disciplinary field of enquiry exploring "the dynamics and problematics inherent in spoken language reclamation, revitalization, and reinvigoration".$^{:86}$

## Summary

The book is divided into two main parts that match the book subtitle: From the Genesis of Israeli (Part One) to Language Reclamation in Australia and Beyond (Part Two). These parts reflect the author's "journey into language revival from the ‘Promised Land’ to the ‘Lucky Country’," by drawing parallels between the revival of the Hebrew language and contemporary language revitalization. The first half of the book provides a summary of Zuckerman's previous work on Modern Israeli Hebrew, while the second half comments on language rights and includes a brief account of the author's work with the Barngarla language and its community.

## Reception

The volume has received a mixed reception from linguists, other academics and the public. The book has been summarized by linguist Bernard Spolsky as a "brilliant but at times irritating book" which provides "an original understanding of the use and history of [Hebrew and Yiddish]" but, at the same time, can be likened to "a teacher trying to keep a large undergraduate class amused rather than an academic work." Patrick Heinrich concludes his Linguist List review by stating that "book does not [...] suggest itself as a new textbook for teaching the subject at hand [because it] is too fragmented, does not give a state-of-the-art overview, is anecdotal over large parts, and does not introduce or define key concepts and research methodologies."
Commentary from journalists and commentators from outside linguistics has been positive, with the book praised for its humor and described variously as a "masterpiece that is both scholarly and social‐minded," "an ambitious volume," "very important", "groundbreaking", "magnificent", "bold", "exuberant" "milestone book", “which will be referred to for many years to come".
The book was listed as No. 7 in The Australian's ranking of "Australia’s top 10 academic books" for 2021, a list based on the number of citations that year: Revivalistics received 16 citations in 2021 including self-citations.

### 2013: A Walk in My Shoes

## Influences

Lavonne grew up listening to Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, and Michael Bublé. She has cited LGBT hip-hop artist Deadlee as one of her influences, saying, "he definitely paved the way, he wasn't afraid to be himself, he wasn't afraid to rap about basically being gay, as a gay male I know it's a little bit harder."

## Personal life

Lavonne is lesbian, coming out publicly in 2007 with the release of her song "Gay Bash".
# The Post-Birthday World

The Post-Birthday World is a novel by Lionel Shriver published in 2007, four years after her previous novel,We Need to Talk About Kevin.

## Background

The novel contains a number of autobiographical elements. The main protagonist, Irina, is of Russian descent, a language Shriver studied at university. Both Shriver and her protagonist are Americans living in London, both suffer from Raynaud syndrome and both have ended secure long-term relationships, having fallen for 'more creative' types. The New York Times quotes Shriver as saying: "There was more than one moment that I could have gone either way, I know what it’s like to be on the knife edge and to have this inkling that whichever way you go it’s going to have huge implications." It was the potential consequences of this decision that inspired the story.

## Structure

The book follows a 'parallel-universe' structure. At the end of the first chapter, Irina, who is in a happy long-term relationship, is tempted to kiss another man. After this the narrative splits, with alternating chapters, each following a different version of Irina. In her 2008 postscript to the book Shriver explains that: this structure "allows me to explore the implications, large and small, of whom we choose to love". She goes on: "You are presented with Irina's two departing futures, and the end of the novel throws Irina's original quandary right back in your lap"... "Do you kiss the guy or not?"

## Plot

Irina McGovern, a moderately successful children's book illustrator, lives with her long-term partner, the steady, companionable Lawrence, who works as a researcher at a London think-tank on international relations. Once a year, they meet with their friend Jude and her professional snooker player husband, Ramsey Acton, on his birthday. After Jude and Ramsey divorce, Lawrence and Irina continue this tradition. The following year, 1997, Lawrence is away in Sarajevo but encourages Irina to contact Ramsey, leading to the fateful decision on which the rest of the book hinges: whether or not to kiss Ramsey after retiring to his house to smoke dope after their restaurant meal.
In the first narrative, Irina leaves Lawrence and moves in with Ramsey, leading to a fiery relationship as she accompanies him on his professional snooker tour, neglecting her own career. In the second narrative strand, she remains with Lawrence, though she feels increasingly disillusioned by their relationship. The two narratives intersect periodically as both personal and international events (such as the death of Diana, Princess of Wales and the September 11 attacks) unfold.

## Reception

The novel received a mixed reception, with the New York Times praising: "Shriver’s ability to make Irina into a thoroughly compelling character, an idiosyncratic yet recognizable heroine about whom it’s impossible not to care.The Telegraph called The Post-Birthday World: "a wise and moving novel, touching us most deeply when it shows us how finite our lives are, and how infinite we want them to be," although The Guardian criticized the book's: "rigidity" and "avoidance of risk".
