# Bloemkamp Abbey

Bloemkamp Abbey (Dutch: Abdij Bloemkamp, also Oldeklooster; Latin: Floridus campus) is a former Cistercian abbey in the Netherlands, located in Hartwerd in the municipality of Wûnseradiel to the north-east of Bolsward, in the province of Friesland.

## History

The abbey was founded in approximately 1190-1192 by the brothers Tethard, Herdrad and Sybold, and settled from Klaarkamp Abbey, of the filiation of Clairvaux. It was dedicated by Balduin of Holland, bishop of Utrecht. Tethard was the first abbot and Herdrad the first prior. The second abbot was Wighard.
The abbey acquired rights of patronage over the church of Scharnegoutum, and newly reclaimed land on the Middelzee.
In the conflict between the Schieringer and the Vetkooper, the abbey took the side of the Schieringer. In 1347, under the bellicose twelfth abbot, Meikulpus, the monks of Bloemkamp unsuccessfully attacked Pingjum Abbey. Renicus Camga, who became abbot in 1377, was also warlike, and maintained hostilities with the monks of Ludingakerk Abbey [Wikidata], who supported the party of the Vetkooper. Battles with the monks of Ludingakerk in 1380 and 1420, as well as with the burghers of Bolsward, led to the decline of the abbey, made worse by the great flood of 1464, which caused serious damage to its estates.
Nevertheless, it recovered within a few years, and was able to build a library, an infirmary and summer quarters for the monks, and its reputation and status were later restored to the extent that in 1499 Abbot Petrus Poppingawier was appointed a member of the High Council of Frisia.
In 1515 the abbey was besieged by the peasant army of the Arumer Zwarte Hoop, until they were driven off by the troops of Lenard Swartsenburg.
In 1535 the abbey was overrun by the Anabaptists, who were however quickly defeated and executed by the troops of Georg Schenck, Stadtholder of Frisia.
In 1572 the abbey was laid waste by Protestants but continued as a community until 1579. In this year the abbot was imprisoned and Protestantism introduced throughout Frisia. The state confiscated the abbey's goods, and the estates were later sold off.

### Burials

In 1345 Count William IV of Holland was buried in the abbey church.

## Site and buildings

There are no visible remains of the abbey buildings, but the place name Oldeclooster is still in use.
# Bluemont Junction

The Bluemont Junction was part of the Washington and Old Dominion Railway that began operation in 1912. Located in Bluemont, Arlington, the wye junction served as a transfer point for passengers and freight from Alexandria and Georgetown to points west ending at Bluemont, the a popular resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

## Background

The junction was part of the land purchased by the railroad that now comprises the Bluemont Junction Trail. It was part of a planned connection between the railway's line that ran between Alexandria and the western Virginia town of Bluemont, and the line that travelled between Georgetown and Great Falls.
Peak years of passenger service were from 1912 into the 1920s with trains running through the junction every 10–20 minutes. Passenger service ended in 1951, and in 1968 fright service ended with the end of the railroad. Bluemont Park [ceb] and Bluemont Junction Park [Wikidata], divided by the Four Mile Run, sit on the site of the former junction.
# Laúd

Laúd (Spanish: "lute") is a plectrum-plucked chordophone from Spain, played also in diaspora countries such as Cuba and the Philippines.
The laúd belongs to the cittern family of instruments. The Spanish and Cuban instruments have six double courses in unison (i.e. twelve strings in pairs); the Philippine instrument has 14 strings with some courses singled or tripled. A similar, but smaller instrument, with a shorter neck, is the bandurria, which also exists in 12- and 14-string versions.
Traditionally the laúd is used by folk string musical groups, such as Spanish or Filipino rondalla string ensembles, together with the guitar and the bandurria. Like the bandurria, it is tuned in fourths, but its range is one octave lower.

## Tuning

For the Spanish laud the tuning is:
* 1st: A4 A4
* 2nd: E4 E4
* 3rd: B3 B3
* 4th: F#3 F#3
* 5th: C#3 C#3
* 6th: G#2 G#2
The Cuban tuning is:
* 6th: C#3 C#3 (or sometimes D3 D3)
* 5th: F#3 F#3
* 4th: B3 B3
* 3rd: E4 E4
* 2nd: A4 A4
* 1st: D5 D5
The Filipino version, has (from bass to treble) one single course, two double courses and three triple courses (i.e. fourteen strings), and is tuned a step lower than the Spanish instrument.:
* 1st: G4 G4 G4
* 2nd: D4 D4 D4
* 3rd: A3 A3 A3
* 4th: E3 E3
* 5th: B2 B2
* 6th: F#2
Steve Howe plays a laúd in both the band Yes and as a solo artist, but he incorrectly refers to it in his guitar book as a Portuguese guitar. His tuning is:
* 1st: A-flat E
* 2nd: B E
* 3rd: B E
* 4th: A-flat A-flat
* 5th: E E
* 6th: B B

## Cuban laúd

There is also a Cuban variety of laud—called the "Cuban laud" -- (such as played by Barbarito Torres of the Buena Vista Social Club). It has the same appearance and use as the Spanish version, six sets of doubled strings, but a shorter scale length and higher tuning. Sometimes the Cuban variety has a different body shape, with two points instead of the lute-style or wavy shapes used for the traditional Spanish variety. The tuning is:
* 1st: D5 D5
* 2nd: A4 A4
* 3rd: E4 E4
* 4th: B3 B3
* 5th: F#3 F#3
* 6th: D3 D3

| Five Cents Please | |
Modern Music from San Francisco is a studio album featuring the Vince Guaraldi Quartet, the Ron Crotty Trio and the Jerry Dodgion Quartet recorded in August 1955 and released on Fantasy Records in May 1956. The record is the first album to feature pianist and future Peanuts composer Vince Guaraldi leading his own quartet rather than augmenting other established groups.
Modern Music from San Francisco was released as a fourteen track reissue, released on CD in 2001 by Fantasy under the name The Jazz Scene: San Francisco, adding several tracks by the Charlie Mariano Sextet.

## Critical reception

DownBeat gave the album a 3-star review, and highlighted Dr. Funk: "Guaraldi is a swinging two-hander who plays with a firm touch and good command."
AllMusic critic Scott Yanow noted, "five originals and two standards are performed in fine cool jazz fashion. The music is not essential but is enjoyable and somewhat historical." Derrick Bang, historian and author of Vince Guaraldi at the Piano, cited the track "Ginza" as of great "significance," noting that it became "one of Guaraldi's first anthems: a 'personal standard' that quickly earned a spot in his ongoing repertoire." Bang added that it is "a sassy, fast-paced romp with echoes of Fats Waller's 'Jitterbug Waltz'." Bang also highlighted "Calling Dr. Funk", as "a loose, smoky, mildly dirty blues number that sounds like a theme song: probably not accidental, because the title referenced the nickname—Dr. Funk—by which Guaraldi already was coming to be known."

## Track listing

# Grok Academy

Grok Academy is an Australian computing education company, which produces and delivers online courses aimed at high school students. In 2024 it had over 200,000 unique users.

## History
### Grok Learning

Grok Academy (then Grok Learning) was founded by James Curran, Tara Murphy, Nicky Ringland and Tim Dawborn in 2013 as an online learning platform to teach high school students programming. It began as an online platform within the University of Sydney which ran a yearly self-paced programming course called the NCSS Challenge (named after the National Computer Science School, a summer camp hosted by the University of Sydney). Eventually, they found there was demand for more courses, so split from the university to form a for-profit company.

### Australian Computing Academy

The Australian Computing Academy was a not-for-profit within the University of Sydney which developed computing education courses with funding government and non government organisations to be delivered on the Grok Learning platform. James Curran, the then CEO of Grok Learning, was the academic director. They provided both general purpose programming courses, cybersecurity courses, and mining themed courses with sponsors including the Australian government, ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank, Westpac, BT Group and the Chamber of Minerals and Energy.
In 2020 the Australian Computing Academy left the University of Sydney and merged with Grok Learning to form Grok Academy.

### Richard White funding

In 2022, Australian tech billionaire Richard White became a major donor to Grok Academy, allowing them to provide their courses free of charge to all school students, having previously charged a subscription fee.
Additionally, starting in 2022, White's company, Wisetech donated 1% of its pre-tax profit (which The Australian estimated at 300 million dollars) to Grok Academy as part of a 5 year commitment.

### Sexual harassment allegations and acquisition

In October 2024 the company lost funding and approximately 80% of its staff after multiple allegations of harassment against it's CEO and founder, James Curran, were sustained by independent investigations. It was reported that over a 10-year span there were nine women, including six who were in high school at the time, that allege Curran sent them inappropriate messages.
Additionally, it was revealed that a 2019 University of Sydney investigation found 35 cases of harassment, after which Curran received a warning and a 2024 University of New South Wales investigation was referred to the NSW police.
The company was acquired by KIK Innovation, an Adelaide based social impact charity, later that year.

## Product and reach

Grok Academy creates and publishes computing education courses for primary and high school students aimed at an Australian audience. In 2024, it had a reach of over 200,000 students and 5000 teachers across Australia.

# Merzbow

Merzbow (Japanese: メルツバウ, Hepburn: Merutsubau) is a Japanese noise project started in 1979 by Masami Akita, best known for a style of harsh noise music. Since 1980, Akita has released over 500 recordings and collaborated with numerous artists.
The name Merzbow comes from the German dada artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork Merzbau, in which Schwitters transformed the interior of his house using found objects. The name was chosen to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk art aesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of musical influences from progressive rock, heavy metal, free jazz, and early electronic music to non-musical influences like dadaism, surrealism and fetish culture.. Since the early 2000s, he has been inspired by animal rights and environmentalism, and began to follow a vegan, straight edge lifestyle.
In addition to being a prolific musician, he has been a writer and editor for several books and magazines in Japan, and has written several books of his own. He has written about a variety of subjects, mostly about music, modern art, and underground culture. His more renowned works were on the topics of BDSM and Japanese bondage. Other art forms Akita has been interested in include painting, photography, filmmaking, and Butoh dance.
In 2000, Extreme Records released the 50 CD box set Merzbox. Akita's work has been the subject of several remix albums and at least one tribute album. This, among other achievements, has helped Merzbow to be regarded by some as the "most important artist in noise".

## Masami Akita
### Early life

Masami Akita (秋田 昌美, Akita Masami) was born in Tokyo, Japan on December 19, 1956. He listened to psychedelic music, progressive rock and later free jazz in his youth, all of which have influenced his noise. In 1972, he became the drummer of various high school bands, which he left due to the other members being "grass-smoking Zappa freaks". By this time, he and school friend Kiyoshi Mizutani had started playing improvised studio sessions that he described as "long jam sessions along the lines of Ash Ra Tempel or Can but we didn't have any psychedelic taste".
He later attended Tamagawa University to study fine art, at which he majored in painting and art theory. While at university, he became interested in the ideas of dada and surrealism and also studied Butoh dance. At Tamagawa, he learned of Kurt Schwitters' Merz, or art made from rubbish, including Schwitters' Merzbau (meaning Merz building, German pronunciation:), which is the source of the name Merzbow.

### Personal life

He is known as a vegan who avoids meat, eggs (except those from chickens he raises himself), dairy and leather products.He is a strict straight edge, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco. An avid bird lover who keeps many birds at home, he includes "Bariken" in his work titles and inserts anti-KFC flyers in his works. He actively supports animal rights organizations like PETA and opposes whaling and dolphin hunting.
# Lakshya (actor)

Laksh Lalwani (born 19 April 1996), known mononymously as Lakshya, is an Indian actor. He played the titular warrior in the period drama series Porus (2017–2018) and made his feature film debut with a starring role in the action film Kill (2023).

## Career
### Early television career (2015–2018)

In 2015, Lakshya made his acting debut with the television series Warrior High. His television debut went unnoticed, and he followed this with the role of Yuvraj Madhav Shekhawat/Krish in the &TV series supernatural series Adhuri Kahaani Hamari (2015–2016) and appeared in an episode of Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya.
In November 2016, Lakshya joined Ekta Kapoor's StarPlus romantic drama series Pardes Mein Hai Meraa Dil (2016–2017) in the supporting role of Veer Mehra, which proved to be his first big break. He finally gained popularity for his portrayal of the titular warrior, Porus the Elder in the historical TV show Porus (2017–2018), which is rumoured as India's most expensive television series with a budget of ₹500 crore.

### Film struggles and breakthrough (2019–present)

In 2019, Lakshya signed a three-film deal with Karan Johar of Dharma Productions, giving a greenlight to his expansion in Hindi cinema. He officially announced his film debut with Johar's production Dostana 2 alongside Kartik Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor, which went on floors in late-2019, but hit a production hell due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and was finally shelved in April 2021 out of creative differences between Johar and Aaryan. In March 2022, he joined Shanaya Kapoor and Gurfateh Pirzada in Johar's romantic drama Bedhadak directed by Shashank Khaitan, but that film too was shelved, continuing the jeopardy in Lakshya's film debut.
Lakshya had his first film release in Dharma Productions' action film Kill. It premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and was theatrically released the following year to largely positive reviews, emerging as his breakthrough role. He played Amrit, a stoic army man who has to fight off dacoits in a running train. Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail wrote that he "conjures the hero with frightening ferocity".
Lakshya will next star in Aryan Khan's streaming series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, and the romance Chand Mera Dil alongside Ananya Panday.
