# Jeffrey Gorton

Jeffrey Wayne Gorton (born November 1, 1962) is an American murderer and rapist, who was convicted in 2002 of the rape and murder of flight attendant Nancy Ludwig on February 17, 1991, at the (then) Hilton hotel in Romulus, Michigan. He later pleaded no contest to charges that he raped and murdered a professor and provost of the University of Michigan–Flint, Margarette Eby, on November 9, 1986.
The two rapes and murders were proved to be the work of one person by matching semen samples taken from the two crime scenes. Gorton had left a latent fingerprint at the Eby crime scene; when it was matched to him, the Michigan State Police learned the killer's identity. Gorton was then proven to be the rapist by matching the DNA of his semen with that of the samples taken from the two murder victims.
Gorton was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
The murders of both Margarette Eby and Nancy Ludwig by Gorton were depicted in the episode "Silk Stalkings" in the television series Forensic Files as well as in the Investigation Discovery television series Your Worst Nightmare in the episode "Fight or Flight" and The Lake Erie Murders episode “Heartbreak Hotel”.

# Gian Berto Vanni

Gian Berto Vanni (Rome, June 30, 1927 − Kythira, September 8, 2017) was an Italian painter. He studied with Alberto Bragaglia, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, and Josef Albers. He lived and worked in Rome, Paris, New York City, and Kythira.

## Biography

Vanni had his first solo exhibition in 1948, at the Galleria Margherita in Rome. In 1949 he won a scholarship awarded by the Dutch government to study in Amsterdam under the neo-plastic painter Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart. In 1952 Vanni won a Fulbright Scholarship to study at Yale University, under the guidance of Josef Albers.
From 1953 to 1960 Vanni lived in Paris, painting and illustrating children's books. In 1954 he worked as a color consultant for a documentary on Pablo Picasso by Luciano Emmer.
In 1955 he began a twenty-five-year collaboration with the Schneider Gallery in Rome, alongside such artists as Corrado Cagli, with whom he has been frequently associated.
From 1960 to 1979 Vanni lived in Rome, exhibiting also at the Rizzoli Gallery and the Galleria Nuovo Carpine. In 1979 he left Rome to settle in New York City, where he taught at the Cooper Union School of Art from 1984 to 2014.

## The work

In Vanni's early works, vivid colors interact with crystalline formations, which several art critics have associated with the work of Paul Klee.
In the early 1960s, after his return to Rome, Vanni was briefly influenced by the Informale movement.
In the mid-1960s Vanni juxtaposed those two approaches. Dino Buzzati wrote in 1968 that “just as on the same wall paintings by different artists can, perhaps through violent contrasts and contradictions, merge in a fortunate harmony, so Vanni gathers in the same canvas two, three, four sections which, considered in isolation, may seem to be by different authors.”
Thereafter, transposing this approach from space to time, Vanni projected his abstract films on translucent bas-reliefs, then returned to painting on canvas with works that stressed the contrast between texture, color, and drawing until his departure for New York in 1979. In the works produced in New York all the elements of his previous periods coexist.
Art critic Giorgio di Genova writes about Vanni's American paintings: “Everything is something else, every substance is appearance, and appearance is painting, a sumptuously bejeweled art of formal and technical inventions.”
Vanni also illustrated several books, including Agostino by Alberto Moravia, Love by Lowell A. Siff, and The Magic Chalk by Zinken Hopp, for which he won in 1958 the “Oscar de l'Album”, awarded by the Club des Lecteurs, Paris. He has been recognized as a pioneer of Italian animation for a short film that he created in 1943. Between 2021 and 2022, a major anthological exhibition dedicated to his work was held in New York with a selection of over 50 works.
# China Youth Corps

The China Youth Corps (中國青年救國團; 'China Youth National Salvation Corps'; until 2000: 中國青年反共救國團; 'China Youth Anti-Communist National Salvation Corps'), often known simply as CYC (救國團), is a youth organization in the Republic of China.
The CYC was established in 1952, on the recommendation of the then president Chiang Kai-shek; its first chairperson was his son Chiang Ching-kuo. The original purpose of the CYC was to provide basic military training to youths before they were conscripted into the Nationalist armed forces. At that time the CYC was very much a quasi-governmental, quasi-political organization with close ties to the Kuomintang regime, similar in many ways to the Communist Youth League of the People's Republic of China.
Over the decades the CYC has lost much of its militaristic character, shifting its focus into providing recreational services to Taiwanese and Overseas Chinese alike (such as through the annual Overseas Chinese Youth Language Training and Study Tour to the Republic of China), although military camps remain one of the many activities it offers. Indeed, the CYC continued to provide military education textbooks to high school students until as recently as the 1990s.
On 28 August 1989 the CYC became a non-governmental organization, thereby officially severing its ties with the Kuomintang regime; nonetheless many Taiwanese today still regard the CYC's senior management as being supportive of the Pan-Blue Coalition. On 25 October 2000, the CYC officially dropped "Anti-Communist" from its official name.

## Related organizations

In view of the dramatic changes in social forms , young people face many problems in adaptation. On November 11, 1969, the National Salvation Group established the "Teacher Chang Youth Guidance Center" to create the "Teacher Chang Line", engaged in youth counseling services. Until 1983, the "Teacher Chang" Youth Counseling Center was established throughout Taiwan. The main work is mainly based on letter service, telephone counseling, consultation and talks, social work: prevention and promotion, factory counseling, prevention and control of juvenile delinquency , and the implementation of counseling personnel training. Print a variety of books and magazines every year, and issue "Chang Teacher Monthly".

# White Valentine

White Valentine (Korean: 화이트 발렌타인; RR: Hwaiteu ballentain) is a 1999 Korean romantic drama film directed by Yang Yun-ho. It stars Park Shin-yang with Jun Ji-hyun in her film debut. It follows a young woman who re-discovers her childhood pen pal from military service when she happens upon an epistolary exchange he sent to his dead girlfriend by a carrier pigeon. The film was theatrically released on February 13, 1999.

## Plot

As a young girl, Kim Jeong-min hated writing letters to soldiers because they never write her back once they learn her age. So instead, she pretends to be a teacher, and becomes pen pals with Park Hyun-jun. They plan to meet in person at a train station, but Jeong-min never shows up, and thus their correspondence ends.
Later when Jeong-min reaches the age of twenty (though when this movie was shot Jun was only 17), Hyun-jun moves into her hometown. Since her parents died when she was little, Jeong-min has been living with her grandfather who owns the bookstore Somang Books. She also works at this bookstore but dreams of becoming a painter. Hyun-jun has become the owner of a pet shop for birds, and grieving over the death of his girlfriend in a car accident, he keeps sending her letters via carrier pigeon. While painting outdoors, Jeong-min sees Hyun-jun feeding some pigeons. As she watches him care for one wounded pigeon then give an apple to a child playing nearby, she falls in love with him at first sight. But the apple reminds her of the same apple painted on the envelopes from her yet unknown pen pal.

# Othello Bayard

Louis Achille Othello Bayard "de Cayes" (1885–1971) is a Haitian musician, violinist, poet, and composer. He is notable for composing the music of the patriotic song "Haïti Chérie".

## Biography

Othello Bayard was born in 1885 in the city of Les Cayes. January 1, 1925, Bayard composed "Souvenir d’Haïti", a poem set to music and it will become the second Haitian patriotic hymn as "Haïti Chérie" after the national anthem, "La Dessalinienne".
He wrote his poem in Haitian Creole as some other Haitian poets at that time did, in resistance to some Francophone Haitian elite who collaborated with the American occupier who had just landed in Haiti in 1915 for a long occupation of the country until 1934. Creole allows this return to indigenous and African origins of the population whose ancestors were slaves.
At the beginning of 21st century, was opened a music school in Les Cayes which bears the name of this poet and musician, the Institut Othello Bayard des Cayes.
