# Dance of the Seven Veils (film)

Dance of the Seven Veils is a 1970 British television film about German composer Richard Strauss. The film, directed and produced by Ken Russell, was only screened once by the BBC. Following condemnation for its gratuitous sex scenes and the depiction of the composer as a Nazi sympathiser, Strauss' estate took out a legal injunction, banning the use of the composer's music on the film's soundtrack.
In February 2020, with the expiration of the composer's copyright after more than 70 years since Strauss died, the film was shown at a special screening event in Cumbria, England hosted by Russell's widow.

## Cast

* Christopher Gable as Richard Strauss
* Judith Paris as Pauline Strauss
* Kenneth Colley as Hitler
* Vladek Sheybal as Joseph Goebbels
* James Mellor as Goering
* Sally Bryant as 'Life'
* Gala Mitchell as Fallen Woman
* Rita Webb as Salome
* Imogen Claire as Salome (dancer)
* Maggy Maxwell as Potiphar's Wife
* Otto Diamant as Jewish Man

## Production

The film was made on location near Russell's home at Skiddaw in the Lake District. "One of the purposes of making the film was to shock complacent critics and viewers who sit in front of their sets for hours on end watching cocoa advertisements. I was simply setting out to make a film about Richard Strauss, and I felt that everything I showed was necessary for presenting my idea of this man," Russell told Peter Waymark of The Times in February 1970. "I wanted strong, hard outlines to bring out aspects of this man and his work that to my mind have been overlooked." The composer "was a self advertising, vulgar, commercial man."

## Release and reception

The film was shown on BBC1 on 15 February 1970. It created a sufficient outcry for 20 Conservative backbenchers to table a motion objecting to it after the television screening. It was shown at the House of Commons the following month. Huw Wheldon, then managing director of BBC Television who was present at the screening, defended the film. It was only shown once by the BBC. The Strauss estate was so outraged by the film that an injunction was taken out, banning the use of Strauss's music on the soundtrack, effectively preventing any further broadcasts because the film can be seen but it cannot be heard.
"I hated it so much" said The Observer. "I don't deny its power," wrote Nancy Banks-Smith in The Guardian. The campaigner Mary Whitehouse commented: "There was gratuitous sex and violence of the most outlandish kind".
When the copyright of Strauss' music expired, the film was reshown at Keswick Film Festival in Cumbria's Theatre by the Lake. The evening was hosted by Russell's widow, Lisi.

# Enterprize (replica)

The Enterprize is a replica topsail schooner built in Melbourne, Australia. It is currently operated by a not-for-profit group for the purpose of providing the people of Melbourne with a means of experiencing nineteenth century sailing and the city's history.

## Building the replica

Planning of a replica began in 1989 and construction commenced in 1991, with the keel laid at the Melbourne Maritime Museum. It was completed at the Old Ports and Harbour Yard in Williamstown, Victoria, and was officially launched by Felicity Kennett, the wife of the Premier of Victoria, Jeff Kennett, on the 162nd Melbourne Day in 1997.
The replica took six years to build, as it was constructed using traditional 19th century methods. It was made using Australian-grown timber, much of which was recycled, including varieties of wood such as jarrah, Huon pine, kauri, celerytop pine and ironbark. The ship's two masts are local California redwood. Its sails are traditional hand-sewn flax, and its rigging is traditional tarred hemp.
The replica was launched on 30 August 1997 at Hobson's Bay for a total cost of $2.5 million. The Enterprize was the first square-rigged commercial sailing ship to be built in Melbourne in 120 years.

## The original Enterprize

The original schooner Enterprize (1829) was built in Hobart in 1829 by William Pender. It was used as a cargo vessel till 1835, after which it was purchased by John Pascoe Fawkner to carry a settlement party to the future site of Melbourne. It was captained by Peter Hunter. After the settlement, the ship was then used as a trading vessel till 1847, when it was wrecked on the shoal of the Richmond River in northern New South Wales.

## Current activity

The replica Enterprize operates both short and long sails for the public, and for school and private groups. Her most common sails have been one hour daytime sails, 1.5 hour evening sails, one day school excursions, and evening and overnight voyages between Docklands and Geelong, Portarlington, and Mornington. It has also offered 4–5 day school voyages, 6–8 day public voyages, one day private charters, and overnight private charters.

# James A. Hamill

James Alphonsus Hamill (March 30, 1877 – December 15, 1941) was an American attorney and Democratic Party politician. He served as the U.S. representative from New Jersey's 10th congressional district from 1907 to 1913 and 12th district from 1913 to 1921.
At the Paris Peace conference of 1919 he served as counsel to the unrecognized Ukrainian delegation.

## Early life and education

He attended Saint Peter's College receiving his Bachelor's degree in 1897, and graduated from New York Law School in 1899; He was admitted to the bar of the State of New Jersey in 1900.

He was considered one of the best linguists in Congress, having at his command Greek, Latin, Russian, German and French and was decorated as a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor for his work in French literature. During Eamon de Valera's visit to the United States in 1919, Hamill introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives calling on President Wilson to refuse to receive Auckland Geddes as Ambassador of both Britain and Ireland, but to receive Dr, Patrick McCartan, who had been sent by the Provisional government of Ireland as the Irish ambassador.

# Kemalpaşa, Söke

Kemalpaşa is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Söke, Aydın Province, Turkey. Its population was 4,016 in 2019.
# Company seal

A company seal (sometimes referred to as the corporate seal or common seal) is an official seal used by a company. Company seals were predominantly used by companies in common law jurisdictions, although in modern times, most countries have done away with the use of seals.
In the UK, a company may have a company seal under the provisions of Companies Act 2006 section 45. It may have further seals for other territories and for issuing securities. These seals have the additional legend of the territory or the word SECURITIES. A company may wish still to seal documents as a means of protection against forgery.
Traditionally, the seal was of some legal significance because the affixing of the seal signified that the document was the act and deed of the company, whereas when a document was merely signed by a director, then that was deemed to be an act carried out on behalf of the company by its agents, which was subject to applicable restrictions and limitations under the ordinary law of agency.
Corporate seals are generally only used for two purposes by corporations today:
* Documents which need to be executed as deeds (as opposed to simple contracts), may be executed under the company's common seal
* Certain corporate documents, for example share certificates are often issued under the company seal (and some countries required that share certificates be issued under the common seal). For example, in India a share certificate is given under the common seal of the company and each usage of common seal is documented in the statutory registry of the company.
Physically, seals were previously used to make an impression on melted wax on the relevant document, although modern seals will usually only leave an indentation or impression on the paper (although sometimes a red wafer is used to imitate old red wax seals, and to make the sealing show up better on photocopies).

## In Asia

The Chinese version of a company seal is known as a company chop and takes the form of a usually circular stamp. The term reportedly came from Indian English. Partially derived from East Asian seals, the chop has great legal significance and represents the whole company. Chops must be made by authorized stamp-makers and registered with public safety authorities. Forgery of stamps, including government stamps and company seals, is a criminal offense in China.
Hong Kong also has a system of company chops, but it is not mandatory and can be replaced by a signature. In Singapore, a company chop is essential as it is in China.
The company chop plays a central role in the two-year dispute between Arm Ltd. and its Chinese subsidiary. A rogue CEO kept control of the chop, thus exerting control on the company against the will of shareholders.

# Florida State Road 548

State Road 548 (SR 548), also known as the Lakeland In-Town Bypass, is a short six-lane arterial in Lakeland, Florida, United States, opened in early 2004. It connects George Jenkins Boulevard (west of downtown) to U.S. Highway 98 (US 98) and SR 600 (Bartow Road and Main Street) east of downtown, allowing traffic to bypass downtown.

## History

SR 548 began construction in 2002 and opened in 2004. In 2005 it was stalled by budget cuts only for construction to resume in 2006, with a scaled back design that excluded the originally proposed bridge over SR 539 (Kathleen Road) east of the bridge over Lakeland Junction.

### Second phase

SR 548 was extended west across SR 563 (Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue) and SR 539 (Kathleen Road) terminating at George Jenkins Boulevard west of downtown. This provides a full east–west bypass to supplement US 92 (Memorial Boulevard) and SR 400 (Interstate 4).

## Major intersections

The entire route is in Lakeland, Polk County.
