# Pierre Verger

Pierre Edouard Leopold Verger, alias Fatumbi or Fátúmbí (4 November 1902, in Paris – 11 February 1996, in Salvador, Brazil) was a photographer, self-taught ethnographer, and babalawo (Yoruba priest of Ifà) who devoted most of his life to the study of the African diaspora — the slave trade, the African-based religions of the new world, and the resulting cultural and economical flows from and to Africa.

## Life

At the age of 30, after losing his family, Pierre Verger took up the career of journalistic photographer. Over the next 15 years, he traveled the four continents, documenting many civilizations that would soon be effaced by progress. His destinations included Tahiti (1933); United States, Japan, and China (1934 and 1937); Italy, Spain, Sudan (now Mali), Niger, Upper Volta, Togo and Dahomey (now Benin, 1935); the West Indies (1936); Mexico (1937, 1939, and 1957); the Philippines and Indochina (now Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, 1938); Guatemala and Ecuador (1939); Senegal (as a conscript, 1940); Argentina (1941), Peru and Bolivia (1942 and 1946); and finally Brazil (1946). His photographs were featured in magazines such as Paris-Soir, Daily Mirror (under the pseudonym of "Mr. Lensman"), Life, and Paris Match, and in 1955 his graphic composition of three women bearing vases of flowers on turbaned heads was selected by curator Edward Steichen for MoMA's 1955 world-touring The Family of Man exhibition, seen by 9 million visitors.
In the city of Salvador, Brazil he fell in love with the place and people, and decided to stay for good. Having become interested in the local history and culture, he turned from errant photographer to a researcher of the African diaspora in the Americas. His subsequent voyages are focused on that goal: the west coast of Africa and Paramaribo (1948), Haiti (1949), and Cuba (1957). After studying the Yoruba culture and its influences in Brazil, Verger became an initiate of the Candomblé religion, and officiated at its rituals. During a visit to Benin, he was initiated into Ifá (ikin divination), became a babalawo (priest) of Orunmila, and was renamed Fátúmbí ("he who is reborn through the Ifá oracle").
Veger's contributions to ethnography are embodied in dozens of conference papers, journal articles and books, and were recognized by Sorbonne University, which conferred upon him a doctoral degree (Docteur 3eme Cycle) in 1966 — quite a feat for someone who dropped out of high school at 17.
Verger continued to study and document his chosen subject right until his death in Salvador, at the age of 93. During that time he became a professor at the Federal University of Bahia in 1973, where he was responsible for the establishment of the Afro-Brazilian Museum in Salvador; and served as visiting professor at the University of Ifé in Nigeria. The non-profit Pierre Verger Foundation [pt] in Salvador, which he established to continue his work, holds more than 63,000 photos and negatives taken until 1973, as well as his papers and correspondence.
His life has been documented in a book by Jérôme Souty and a movie.
# Datchet railway station

Datchet railway station serves the village of Datchet in Berkshire, England. It is 23 miles 63 chains (38.3 km) down the line from London Waterloo, on the Staines to Windsor & Eton Line.
The station has two side platforms linked by a pedestrian footbridge, and the principal station buildings are to be found on the London bound platform. The station has a central location within Datchet village, and two level crossings cross the line immediately to the west of the station. The presence of these crossings, which carry both road routes from the village to the nearby town of Windsor, can cause traffic delays in the village.

## History

The Windsor, Staines & South Western railway was authorised to build a railway line to Windsor in 1847, however Datchet was the temporary terminus after the line was opened from Richmond on 22 August 1848. The finally completed route over the River Thames was opened on 1 December 1849.
The original station had goods facilities on both up and down sides but these were eventually closed by 17 January 1965. This area is now a car park on the down side and industrial units on the up side. The large goods shed next to the station master's house was also demolished in the early 1990s. The up side station building was burnt down in a fire in September 1986 but was rebuilt in a more basic style coupled with flats above it. The station masters house survived and is the only surviving structure left.
The down side wooden building has also been lost. Datchet had a manual signal box which also worked the manual level crossing gates, this and Mays crossing box closed in December 1974 when control was taken over by Feltham power box, this led to the replacement of the manual barriers with the lifting ones we have today.
The ticket office is now open Monday-Friday between 06:15 and 13:05 & Saturday from 07:55 to 14:45 whereas previously it was weekdays peak hours only. In recent years the platforms have been raised and more modern lighting erected. The most recent development has been the relaying of both down & up lines through the station replacing some very worn permanent way.

## Services

The station is served by the stopping service between Windsor & Eton Riverside and London Waterloo, operated by South Western Railway. There are generally two trains per hour, taking some 4 minutes to reach Windsor & Eton Riverside, and just under an hour to reach Waterloo.

# Mirko Kovač (writer)

Mirko Kovač (26 December 1938 – 19 August 2013) was a Yugoslav writer. In his rich career he wrote novels, short stories, essays, film scripts, TV and radio plays. Among his best known works are the novella Životopis Malvine Trifković, the novels Vrata od utrobe, Grad u zrcalu, the short story collection Ruže za Nives Koen, the book of essays Europska trulež and the scripts for some of the most successful films of Yugoslav cinema like Handcuffs, Playing Soldiers and Occupation in 26 Pictures among others. He was one quarter of the infamous Belgrade quartet, the other three being Danilo Kiš, Borislav Pekić and Filip David.

## Biography

Kovač was born to a Croat father and a Serb mother in the village of Petrovići in Banjani region near Nikšić, Montenegro. He went to elementary school in Trebinje but after leaving his family at the age of 16 he went to Vojvodina where he finished high school in Novi Sad. During that time he discovered the works of poet Tin Ujević and became interested in literature. He went on to study the works of other notable Croatian authors like Ranko Marinković, Vladan Desnica, Antun Branko Šimić and Vjekoslav Kaleb. After finishing school he published his first essay called Tri pesnika (Three Poets) about the works of Tin Ujević, Branko Miljković and Oskar Davičo. His first book Gubilište was published in 1962 and caused a big bang on the Yugoslav literature scene. The communist authorities declared the book inappropriate because of its dark portrayal of life and started a campaign against Kovač which resulted in a year long polemic. Many authors including Predrag Matvejević and Danilo Kiš wrote in Kovač's defence.
He received: the Serbian NIN Prize in 1978 and the Andrić Prize in 1979, Swedish PEN Tucholsky Award (1993), German Herder Prize (1995), Montenegrin Njegoš Award (2009) and 13th July award (2004), Slovenian Vilenica Award (2003), Croatian Vladimir Nazor Award (2008) etc. He lived in Belgrade, but moved to Rovinj, Croatia, his wife's hometown, after Slobodan Milošević came to power.
An annual award in his name is given to authors from the Balkans in four categories.

# Battle of Dolnij Poloj

The Battle of Dolnij Poloj, more commonly known as the Charge of Poloj (in Italian: Carica di Poloj) is a war episode that took place during World War II in the Yugoslav Front on October 17, 1942, which went down in history as the last charge carried out by regular Italian military troops. It takes its name from a locality in Croatia, Gornji Poloj, now a settlement in the municipality of Slunj. The episode saw as protagonists on one side the Regio Esercito, with the 14th Regiment "Cavalleggeri Alessandria" accompanied by other units and commanded by Colonel Antonio Ajmone Cat and on the other the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia commanded by Josip Broz Tito. It was the last charge of Italian cavalry in history.
At sunrise on October 17, 1942, the 14th Regiment "Cavalleggeri Alessandria", led by Colonel Antonio Ajmone Cat and supported by a column of horse-drawn artillery, the 3rd Tank Squadron based on L6/40 tanks and the 81st divisional Blackshirt Battalion, was moving towards Mjesto Primišlje on a routine checkpoint operation when, near the Korana river, a handful of Yugoslav partisans fired heavy-calibre shots from the surrounding heights, immediately killing an officer and a light cavalryman and wounding several men and horses, with the 2nd and 4th partisan assault brigades taking possession of the hills above the Italians. The Colonel was trying to open the way to the northwest for about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) and then turn right towards Perjasica. As recalled by 3rd Squadron Lieutenant Raffaele Arcella:
   «The Alessandria found itself almost closed in a vice (…) The speed and the surprise limited the damages, but out of 700 men, 10% died».
In Poloj, the enemy attacked with violent gunfire and grenades. “Partisans inserted hand grenades triggered on iron cords through the trees,” says Arcella, “Crafty traps, but deadly.”
The unit formed a diamond shape. The diamond included the 1st Squadron at the head, the 3rd to the left, and the 2nd to the right. In the center, the Machine Gun Squadron and Command Squadron. The 4th protected the tail section of artillery. The subsequent charge left the Partisans retreating, at the cost of heavy losses. 70 dead and 61 wounded, including officers, non-commissioned officers and light cavalry out of an effective force of 760 units; 130 horses killed and 60 injured. The artillery, strenuously defended, has 12 missing and one wounded among the troops in addition to the loss of pieces and horses, also including the loss of one battery. The Partisans claimed to seize 33 Italian prisoners, an L3, two guns, seven trucks, nine machine guns, 122 rifles. They also claimed only five killed and eight injured. Yugoslav partisan leader Josep Broz Tito stated about the Poloj Cavalry Charge:
   «We had the honor of engaging the Cavalleggeri di Alessandria».
# Kukhva

# Connecticut Route 64

Route 64 is a Connecticut state highway connecting the towns of Woodbury and Waterbury via Middlebury.

## Route description

Route 64 begins as Sherman Hill Road at an intersection with US 6 in the Pomeraug section of Woodbury (just south of the town center) and heads east towards Middlebury. After crossing the town line, the road becomes Middlebury Road. Route 64 soon meets and briefly overlaps Route 188 (for about half a mile) west of Middlebury center before continuing northeast then east through the Oronoke section of Middlebury, where it intersects with Route 63 (signed for Watertown and Naugatuck). Route 64 crosses into the city of Waterbury about 0.1 mi (0.16 km) east of the Route 63 junction and becomes Chase Parkway. After another 0.2 miles (0.32 km), Route 64 leaves Chase Parkway, continuing straight onto the eastbound I-84 Interchange 17 onramp. The last 0.5 miles (0.80 km) of Route 64 is along the onramp and it ends as it merges with eastbound I-84. Chase Parkway continues east of Route 64 for another 1.6 miles (2.6 km) into downtown Waterbury and is an unsigned state highway with designation SR 845.

## History

The road linking Woodbury and Waterbury was originally laid out as a toll road in May 1823 and was known as the Woodbury and Waterbury Turnpike. The Woodbury-Waterbury road was incorporated as part of New England Route 3 in 1922, which ran east–west across Connecticut and directly connected the cities of Danbury, Waterbury, Hartford, and Willimantic. In 1926, the U.S. Highway system was established and US 6 was co-signed along most of New England Route 3. For a few years between 1926 and 1929, the Woodbury to Waterbury route was signed as US 6. By 1930, US 6 was relocated to a more northerly alignment via Watertown, Thomaston, and Bristol. This left the Woodbury-Waterbury route signed only as Route 3. In the 1932 state highway renumbering, the New England Route 3 designation was deleted. Route 14 was created at the same time and incorporated the Woodbury-Waterbury route and continued eastward via Meriden, Middletown, and Willimantic to the Rhode Island state line in Sterling. In 1941, most of Route 14 (west of Willimantic) was re-designated as US 6A. In 1967, the US 6A designation was removed in Connecticut and broken into several smaller routes. Modern Route 64 is one of these routes that was created as a result of the renumbering of US 6A.

# Surplus store

A surplus store or disposals store is a business that sells items and goods that are used, purchased but unused, or past their use by date, and are no longer needed due to excess supply, decommissioning, or obsolescence. The surplus sold is often military, government, or industrial goods; in the case of the former two, the business is usually called a military surplus store, government surplus store, war surplus store, or army-navy store.

## Military surplus

Military surplus stores sell equipment that was intended for the military but is unable to be used, no longer in service, or originally purchased in excess by the military. These stores often sell camping equipment or military clothing. Large amounts of former military clothing and equipment were sold in these stores after World War I and World War II.

### By country
#### Canada

Known as army surplus stores, these typically also carry sporting goods related to hunting, fishing, and camping.

#### China

Army surplus stores in China are common. They mostly specialize in clothing, footwear, tarpaulins, and blankets, but also often sell occupational safety equipment.

#### Germany

In Allied-occupied Germany, the Allies initially confiscated the stock and materials of the Wehrmacht, including 500,000 tonnes of stock and over 150,000 tonnes of scrap. In 1948 a government agency, the Staatliche Erfassungsgesellschaft für öffentliches Gut ("State Collecting Company for Public Good", StEG), was formed to manage the sale of these items. In reference to the name of this agency, the army surplus was called Stegware, and their stores were nicknamed "Steg shops". Goods sold by these stores included new and used clothing, camping equipment, and tools; early on, vehicles and heavier equipment were also sold. In the early 1950s the U.S. military began to add their own surplus from the war. The joint surplus was sold across Germany until the 1980s.

#### United States

Known as military surplus stores or army navy stores, surplus stores in the U.S. typically carry military or military-spec equipment. After the World Wars and Vietnam War, large amounts of military surplus was left over from the large amounts of equipment made for drafted troops, making their stock and sale common. However, with the advent of the military being volunteer and the fighting force being smaller, most modern military stores have had to switch to selling "military-spec" items, which are civilian remakes of military items.

# Iki doll

The term ikidoll(生人形, iki-ningyō) refers to a specific type of Japanese traditional doll. They are life-sized lifelike dolls that were popular in misemono during the Edo period of Japan. Nowadays the name is mainly used to refer to shop store mannequins.
Artists famous for making iki-ningyō during the Edo period include Akiyama Heijūrō, Takedoa Nuinosuke, Matsumoto Kisaburō (松本喜三郎), and Yasumoto Kamehachi (安本亀八). The dolls that they made were novel not just for their context that shocked viewers — figures lying in pools of their own blood, for example, or Akiyama Heijuro's "Development of a Fetus", a life-sized model of a pregnant woman whose abdomen opens up to reveal twelve supposed stages of development of a human fetus in the womb — but also for their influence upon the genre of ningyō. The works of Kamehachi and Kisaburō, in particular, contributed to the emergence of an extreme sense of realism.
The earliest exhibition of iki-ningyō, as recorded in Tommori Seiichi's biography of Kamehachi, was on February 2, 1852, by Ōe Chūbei entitled Representations of Modern Dolls in this Year of Abundance in the Naniwashinchi brothel district of Osaka. Chūbei's name imayō-ningyō ("modern dolls") indicated that he considered this form of doll to be modern and new.
