# Munich Radio Orchestra

The Munich Radio Orchestra (German: Münchner Rundfunkorchester) is a German symphony broadcast orchestra based in Munich. It is one of the two orchestras affiliated with the Bavarian Radio (Bayerischer Rundfunk), the other being the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.

## History

A precursor ensemble to the Munich Radio Orchestra was established in the 1920s. The current Munich Radio Orchestra was formalised in 1952, with Werner Schmidt-Boelke as its first chief conductor. The orchestra's focus has historically been on light music, with particular emphasis in its early years as an orchestra for operettas. The orchestra was also historically known for its Sunday concerts.
From the chief conductorship of Lamberto Gardelli (1982–1985) onwards, the orchestra expanded its repertoire into opera, specifically Italian opera. This work continued under the orchestra's next three chief conductors, all Italians, Giuseppe Patanè (1988–1989), Roberto Abbado (1992–1998), and Marcello Viotti (1998–2005). This activity extended to commercial recordings of operas and opera excerpts with the orchestra's chief conductors.
The orchestra faced budget constraints and the threat of dissolution by Bavarian Radio in 2004. In protest at these threats to the existence of the orchestra, Viotti resigned as chief conductor that year. After negotiations, the orchestra was preserved, with a reduction in size from 72 to 50 musicians.
From 2006 to 2017, the orchestra's chief conductor was Ulf Schirmer. During his tenure, Schirmer has conducted with the orchestra commercial recordings for the Bavarian Radio's own BR-Klassik label, including Karl Amadeus Hartmann's Des Simplicius Simplicissimus Jugend. The orchestra has also recorded for other labels such as CPO, RCA, Acanta and Sony Classical.
In May 2016, the orchestra announced the appointment of Ivan Repušić [de] as its next chief conductor, effective with the 2017–2018 season. Patrick Hahn became principal guest conductor of the orchestra in the 2021–2022 season, the first principal guest conductor in the orchestra's history. In July 2022, the orchestra announced the extension of Repušić's contract as chief conductor through the summer of 2026.

Shaul was born to Tzipora Yefet Shaul and Ami Shaul (Saull) in Kibbutz Kissufim in the northwestern Negev. Dror is the younger brother of Ran and Tal Shaul. His grandfather, Sydney Saul, born in Poland (Yanova Belarus today), is a descendant of the Vilna Gaon family, whose parents were massacred in a pogrom in 1904, and he fled to the United States to his aunt Lena Gordon in Philadelphia. His father, Ami Shaul (Saull), was born and raised in Manhattan. He was a gifted musician who was accepted to the Academy of Music but immigrated to Israel at the age of 17. After immigrating, he came to his uncle Galili in Kibbutz Nanan, where he met a group of Americans who were preparing to establish Kibbutz Kissufim in 1951. In Kissufim, Ami met Tzipora Yefet, who was of Yemenite descent and grew up in the Hatikva neighborhood. Dror's two parents were interested in archeology and music, played various instruments and served in key social, financial and security roles in the Kibbutz. David Ben-Gurion, Moshe Sharet, Moshe Dayan and others visited Ami in the Kibbutz often.
In 1999, Dror wrote and directed his first short film Operation Grandma (Original title: "Mivtsa Savta"), which won the Israeli Academy Award, was a final nominee for the Banff Rockie Award in 2000 in Canada and is considered as one of Israel's best cult films.

# Pēteris Dzelzītis

Pēteris Dzelzītis (September 21, 1921 – February 16, 1948) was a Latvian soldier. He fought for the 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS during World War II and the Latvian partisans during the Guerrilla war in the Baltic states.

## Biography

Pēteris Dzelzītis was born on September 21, 1921, near the village of Renda, in a family of farmers. He was educated in the Renda primary school. In 1943, Dzelzītis, along with his brother Vidvuds, was enlisted in the 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. Vidvuds was killed on March 17, 1944, during a battle on the eastern shore of the Velikaya River. The 19th Division gradually retreated to the region of Kurzeme, where they stayed until the war ended (the so-called Courland Pocket). Pēteris, along with some others, did not surrender to the Red Army and instead started guerrilla warfare. Their group consisted of seven men. Pēteris was its leader. He used codename "Kurmis" (Mole).
On February 2, 1948, the Soviets found the group's hiding place and raided it. Three of seven group members were killed in action, the other four, including Dzelzītis, were taken away for further questioning. The NKVD beat him up several times in an attempt to extract information, however, he did not reveal anything. He was executed on February 16.

## Legacy

He is considered to be a hero in Renda. In the early 1990s, not long after Latvia regained its independence, a commemorative plaque was attached to the Renda primary school. There was a movement which aimed to name a street in the nearby city of Kuldīga in memory of Dzelzītis, but it failed.

## Reception

The reception of the show following the release of the first episode was overwhelmingly negative.
The show has been criticized for its stereotypical and unrealistic representation of the gay community. Critic Coleman Spide of The Daily Beast called the show "a colossal gay nightmare" and described it as a "sad amalgamation of six arrogant gay men who would rather spend time talking about themselves than try to make good TV." Lawrence Yee of TheWrap called The Real Friends of Weho a "show we don't need about people we don't need to see more of" and pointed out its lack of diversity. While ensuring "equal parity between white and Black castmates," Yee notes "there's nary a Latin or Asian person (...) or trans person."
Further criticism of the series came from the viewers of RuPaul's Drag Race who argued that the recent season's runtime had been shortened from "60 minutes to 40 (without ads) in order to make room" for the reality series.
Shortly after the show began airing, castmate Dorion Renaud was critical of the series in an interview. "They promoted the show as 6 gay men living in West Hollywood who are friends, first I don't live in West Hollywood, I live in the valley, I love the valley. I never go to West Hollywood, I'm not in that scene. Aside from Curtis I wasn't friends with any of the cast. I also have never confirmed or talked about my sexuality. I felt betrayed because they have me identifying as something I'm not. I'm Dorion Renaud." Renaud claimed he was told that the series would be a reboot of The A-List: New York titled The A-List: LA, and that it would be a Paramount+ exclusive which would focus primarily on his business. Renaud said that he would not have agreed to appear on the show had he known it would be on MTV.

# Ben Howlett (footballer)

Ben Howlett (born 21 October 1988) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Howlett was selected by Essendon with pick 30 in the 2010 rookie draft, as a 21-year-old from Peel Thunder in the West Australian Football League. His final season with Peel Thunder saw him claim the club's best and fairest award. He was promoted to Essendon's senior list in the 2010 season.
Howlett, along with 33 other Essendon players, was found guilty of using a banned performance-enhancing substance, thymosin beta-4, as part of Essendon's sports supplements program during the 2012 season. He and his teammates were initially found not guilty in March 2015 by the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal, but a guilty verdict was returned in January 2016 after an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency. He was suspended for one season which, with backdating, ended in November 2016; as a result, he served approximately fourteen months of his suspension and missed the entire 2016 AFL season.
Howlett was delisted at the conclusion of the 2017 AFL season. He returned home to WA and signed with the club he was originally drafted from, Peel Thunder in the WAFL, for the 2018 season. In 2019, Howlett was named captain of the club, taking over from dual premiership captain Gerald Ugle.
In Round 9 of the 2021 WAFL season Howlett played his 100th game for Peel Thunder against Swan Districts before announcing his retirement from WAFL footy at the end of that season.
