# Michael Lynch (historian)

Michael Lynch, FRHistS, FRSE, FSA Scot (born 15 June 1946) is a retired Scottish historian and a leading expert in the history of the Scottish Reformation and pre-modern urbanisation in the Scottish kingdom. In 2010, five years after his retirement, he was described by one reviewer as 'one of the most influential historians in Scotland of the last thirty years', whose work has been characterised by an 'ability to bring ecclesiastical, cultural and urban perspectives to traditional Scottish political and governmental histories', as well as the ability 'to clarify a difficult theory within a deceptively simple phrase'.
Lynch was born in Aberdeen. He was educated at Aberdeen Grammar School before taking degrees at the University of Aberdeen and the University of London. His first academic post was a lectureship in the history department at University College, Bangor (now Bangor University), from 1971 to 1979. From there he took up a lectureship in the Scottish history department at the University of Edinburgh, where, in 1993, he was appointed Sir William Fraser Professor of Scottish History and Palaeography, holding this Chair—the oldest and most distinguished Scottish history professorship in the world—until his retirement in 2005. As Professor he served as chairman of the Ancient Monuments Board for Scotland (1996–2002), president of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (1996–1999), and a trustee of the National Museum of Scotland (2002–2005).
Upon his retirement, Lynch was named an honorary research professor at Edinburgh, and latterly an honorary professorial fellow at the same university.
Lynch is not to be confused with Michael J. Lynch (born 1938), a British historian at the University of Leicester who specializes in Nazi Germany, Mao's China and Stalinist Russia.

# Dushanbe Flagpole

The Dushanbe Flagpole (Russian: Площадь государственного флага; Tajik: Боғи парчами Тоҷикистон, romanized: Boghi parchami Tojikiston) is a free–standing flagpole located in front of the Palace of Nations in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. At 165 metres (541 feet), it was the tallest flagpole in the world from its completion in 2011 until the 2014 erection of the 171 m (561 ft) Jeddah Flagpole. It is now the fifth tallest flagpole in the world. It flies a 30 m × 60 m (98 ft × 197 ft) Flag of Tajikistan weighing 700 kilograms (1,540 pounds).

## Construction

The flagpole consists of 12-metre sections of steel tube fitted together by crane.
The design phase for the flagpole began in July 2009. Fabrication of the pole's sections was completed in Dubai in October 2010. The sections were then shipped to Dushanbe, where construction of the flagpole began on November 24, 2010, Tajikistan's National Flag Day. The final assembly and erection took place during April and May 2011, with the first test flight of the flag of Tajikistan taking place on May 24, 2011.
The flagpole cost $3.5 million and was part of $210 million worth of projects celebrating the 20th anniversary of Tajik independence.
# Chorrera culture

The Chorrera culture or Chorrera tradition is a Late Formative indigenous culture that flourished between 1300 BCE and 300 BCE in Ecuador. Chorrera culture was one of the most widespread cultures in pre-Columbian Ecuador, spanning the Pacific lowlands to the Andean highlands, and even into southern Colombia.

## Regional divisions

Due to variations in ceramics and other material culture, Chorrera culture is divided into regional variants. These include:
* Mafa Phase, northern Esmeraldas Province
* Tachina Phase, southern Esmeraldas Province
* Tabuchula Phase, northern Manabí Province
* Engoroy Phase, Santa Elena Peninsula and Guayas coastal region
* Chorrera proper, Guayas River Basin
* Early Jubones Phase, southeastern Guaya and western Azuay Province
* Arenillas Phase, El Oro Province.
Other regions exhibit a strong Chorrera influence.

## Ceramics

The hallmark of Chorrera culture is its ceramic traditions, which features whistling animal and plant effigy Stirrup spout vessels and human figurines made from molds. Everyday utilitarian pottery was still very fine with thin decorated walls and red or black slips polished to a high sheen. Surfaces of bowls, bottles, ollas, and other ceramic pieces were incised, painted, pattern burnished, or decorated with rocker stamps. Ceramics were used in personal adornments as well, examples being ceramic ear spools and rocker stamps used for body painting.
Unusual decorative features of Chorrera ceramics include resist-painting and iridescent slips.

## Use of metals

Chorrera craftsmen produced some of the earliest metal objects in Ecuador. Numerous metal objects and fragments were excavated at the coastal site of Salango. Objects from copper, silver and gold were made, mostly elite goods like jewelry.

## Diet

Crops cultivated by Chorrera people include achira (Canna indica), arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea), corn (Zea mays), common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), as well as gourds and squash (Cucurbitaceae). They also gathered wild tree fruits, sedge (Cyperaceae), and palm (Palmae).
Chorrera people fished and hunted as well, catching game such as armadillo, deer (including white-tailed and brocket deer) duck, frogs, lizards, peccary, and various rodents.

## Trade

This culture continued the brisk trade network established by Valdivia and Machalilla cultures. Chorrera fisherman traded spiny oyster shells (Spondylus) and other marine shells with people from the Quito basin for obsidian. Gold is traded in the latter centuries BCE.

## Decline

In 467 BCE, the Pululahua Volcano north of Quito erupted, sending volcanic ash over much of the western Ecuadorian lowland regions, which greatly reduced the expressions of Chorrera culture; however, some Chorrera settlements in the far north and south continued for several centuries. These evolved into more complex cultures of the Regional Developmental Period of 200 and 300 BCE.

# Elka Rhapsody

The Elka Rhapsody is a fully polyphonic multi-orchestral synthesizer with either a 49-key or 61-key keyboard, depending on the model. It was particularly popular with Berlin School electronic musicians during the 1970s.

## Revisions
### Elka Rhapsody 490

This was the earlier, smaller version with 49-key keyboard. It had two sounds, violoncello and strings which could also be combined to produce a fuller sound. There were two other controls; volume and sustain. It also had a master tuning control on the rear panel of the instrument. It is a monotimbral instrument with a single ¼" jack on the rear for output, and a single 5-pin DIN socket for a pedal.

### Elka Rhapsody 610

This is the larger instrument with a 61-key keyboard. It had four sounds, violoncello, strings, piano and clavichord which could also be switched in and out, similar to the 490. Each voice had separate volume and decay time sliders mounted on the top of the instrument. The 610 had a split function, which would allow one sound - for example, bass - to be assigned to the lower half of the keyboard, while the upper section could play a different lead voice.

# John M. Mason (musician)

John M. Mason, MBE (21 January 1940 – 22 January 2011) was a Scottish solicitor, musician, composer and conductor. He was the co-founder, musical director, and conductor of the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra from its creation in 1980 until his death in 2011.

## Early life and education

John M. Mason, MBE was born in Kirkwall, Scotland in 1940 to James and Tomima (Toza) Mason. He attended Kirkwall Grammar School, before moving to Wigtown with his family after the war. He then attended Douglas Ewert High School in Newton Stewart, and graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a law degree.
Both of Mason's parents were musicians, his father played the fiddle and his mother the piano, and he took up both instruments in childhood. Upon his father's insistence, he left his fiddle at home while attending University so he could focus entirely on his studies, but he picked it up again during the summer holidays. He joined the Mona Stewart Dance Band, and with them played at weddings and bookings all over southwest Scotland.

## Career

After his marriage in 1967, Mason moved to Troon, Scotland, where he took a position as a solicitor with Waddell & MacIntosh Solicitors. Following his passing, his eldest son, Rognvald Mason, assumed the position of Director at Waddell and Mackintosh solictiors, alongside solicitor Darren Murdoch. He was soon invited to join the Kilmarnock Caledonian Strathspey and Reel Society, and in 1972, he helped in the formation of the Ayr and Prestwick Strathspey and Reel Society, for which he served as conductor. Following this success, he co-founded the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra with fellow musician Gerry Crean in 1980 . He served as the musical director and principal conductor of the orchestra from its creation until his death in 2011. Under John's leadership, the orchestra played concerts all over the United Kingdom, as well as a handful of international tours, in order to raise money for various charities. Along with John's arrangements of traditional Scottish fiddle music, the orchestra continues to play many of John's original compositions, which numbered over 600.
In 1987, Mason received an MBE from Her Majesty the Queen for services to music.

# Stagger (EP)

Stagger is the fifth extended play (EP) by American singer Poppy. It was released on October 14, 2022, by Republic Records and Lava Records. It is her only release on the labels.

## Background and release

In March 2022, during the first show of the Never Find My Place Tour, Poppy debuted an unreleased song called "Stagger". In August, Poppy performed at the Reading Festival and debuted another unreleased song titled "FYB", an acronym for "Fuck You Back". This coincided with the announcement of a four-track EP titled Stagger, which Poppy confirmed in an interview with Dork along with a partial release date of October 2022. In the interview, she revealed that the EP would contain "a couple of fun songs, and one slower song", and promised "more guitars". "FYB" was later released as a single on September 23, alongside a visualizer.
Following the release of the single, Stagger's release date was revealed. It was also announced that the EP would be released under Republic and Lava Records. An official music video for the title track was released on the same day as the EP's release. The third track "Shapes" was later featured on the soundtrack to the baseball video game MLB The Show 23.
Speaking about the EP, Poppy stated:
   "Well the EP is consisting of four songs and I just feel like they are a mini-chapter in my life. I wrote the songs in December of last year, so it's taken them a moment to come out and I'm really excited about it."

## Composition

According to Loudwire, "FYB" demonstrates a "thrashy punk rock style". Metal Hammer noted "punk metal riffs" on the song. According to Poppy, the song is a "[revenge anthem about] somebody getting what they deserve, without you yourself having to lift a finger". "Pocket" has been described by Kerrang! as a "discordant electro-grunge" song. The pop-rock song that talks about a toxic relationship, "Shapes" has been described by NYU News to be the 'most mainstream' of all of the songs on the EP. Revolver described the closing track as a "melancholy trip-hop ballad".
