# Rouge (film)

Rouge (Chinese: 胭脂扣; Jyutping: Jin1zi1 kau3) is a 1988 Hong Kong supernatural romantic-drama film, directed by Stanley Kwan and starring Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung. The film is the adaptation of a novel with the same title by Lilian Lee.

## Plot

In 1987 Hong Kong, newspaperman Yuen and his girlfriend Chor are drawn into a doomed 1930s romance when the ghost of courtesan Fleur publishes an advertisement in the newspapers, looking for her lost lover Chan Chen-Pang. She has waited in the afterlife for Chan for 53 years and believes he has become lost.
Chan was the playboy son of a wealthy family, but longed to be an actor, met and fell in love with talented, beautiful Fleur in one of Hong Kong's teahouses. Realising their romance would never be accepted, the couple committed suicide by opium overdose in order to be together in the afterlife.
Pragmatic Yuen and Chor become dazzled by the romance of Fleur's story and the ghost's glamorous beauty, but as their search for Chan reveals the truth - that Chan did not die with Fleur, frittered away his inheritance and now lives impoverished as a movie extra - they see the value of their own, honest relationship.
The title refers to a rouge case Chan gave to Fleur, which she returns to the now-elderly, guilt-wracked man, before leaving the living world.

# Malwa culture

The Malwa culture was a Chalcolithic archaeological culture which existed in the Malwa region of Central India and parts of Maharashtra in the Deccan Peninsula. It is mainly dated to c. 1600 – c. 1300 BCE, but calibrated radiocarbon dates have suggested that the beginning of this culture may be as early as c. 2000-1750 BCE.
This culture is characterized by the increasing dominance of the agricultural way of life, but also incorporated pastoralist and hunting groups. The people cultivated wheat, barley, legumes, and later rice, and domesticated cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. At most of the settlements, there is no evidence of urban planning, rather a "haphazard" distribution of houses, but some of the largest sites have evidence of planned settlement, large houses, and public architecture. Most dwellings were round huts made from wattle-and-daub. There are also small round huts used for storing grain, and large rectangular structures which may have been used for religious performances.
Their pottery was red or orange, and painted with geometric, floral, animal, and human designs in black. Copper and stone were used to make tools. Beads of semi-precious stones have been found. Objects made from seashells indicate trade with coastal communities in Gujarat, such as Bharuch. Evidence of religion includes bull idols, worship of trees, snakes, and goddesses, and altars for fire sacrifices.
Sites of the Malwa Culture include Daimabad, Inamgaon, Kayatha, Nagda, Vidisha, Eran, Mandsaur, and Navdatoli (near Maheshwar).
It is preceded by the Kayatha, Ahar-Banas, and Savalda cultures, and succeeded by the Jorwe culture and the Black and red ware culture.
# Jatropha costaricensis

Jatropha costaricensis is a rare species of flowering plant in the euphorb family known by the common name Costa Rican jatropha. It is native to Costa Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
First discovered in 1974 and described to science in 1978, this species was added to the endangered species list of the United States in 1984 because it was in danger of extinction and was not protected under any Costa Rican or international laws. At that time there was only one population known, located near Playas del Coco in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica.
# Melancholy (Hayez)

Melancholy is an oil-on-canvas painting executed during 1840–41 by the Italian artist Francesco Hayez, now in the pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
The artist describes the work in his Memorie:
   Melancholy is shown as a medieval young woman taken by a feeling of love, standing in an abandoned pose, who despite her passion for the flowers collected in a vase holds one in her hand, perhaps remembering the person she cares for, keeping her head somewhat bowed the better to nurture the thought which dominates her, not caring for anything around her, and her clothes falling from one shoulder, leaving part of her breast visible. The dress is in light blue satin which I thought best-suited to the subject, also because it contrasts with the live colours of the various flowers, which I painted from life with conscientious attention
The work was a popular success, leading Hayez to paint a second version, completed in 1842 and entitled Pensiero malinconico (Melancholy Thoughts). Hayez wrote in his Memorie that it had "many variations, changing the figure's character and adding flowers", reflecting the few but substantial differences from the previous work – the clothes are differently arranged, leaving the breasts more exposed and enhancing the poignant sense of abandonment, whilst the hands hang down rather than being intertwined and the face is more emotionally charged. The artist's treatment of flowers continued in his 1881 Vase of Flowers at the Window of a Harem.
# National College for Teaching and Leadership

The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) was an executive agency of the British Department for Education from 2013 to 2018. It inherited the responsibilities of the National College for School Leadership (NCSL). The NCTL aimed to improve academic standards by ensuring a well-qualified teaching workforce and supporting schools.
The NCTL also regulated the teaching profession by:
* Prohibiting teachers from working in cases of serious professional misconduct.
* Overseeing teacher inductions.
* Awarding Qualified Teacher Status and Early Years Teacher Status.
In April 2018, the NCTL was dissolved, with its regulatory functions shifting to the Teaching Regulation Agency and its remaining responsibilities absorbed by the Department for Education.

## History

The National College for Teaching and Leadership was established on 29 March 2013, from a merge of the National College for School Leadership and the Teaching Agency. Originally, the NCSL was founded in 2000 as a non-departmental public body, but it became an executive agency in 2012.
The college operated a Learning and Conference Centre in Nottingham, designed by Sir Michael Hopkins and located on the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham. Opened in 2002 by Prime Minister Tony Blair, the building cost £28 million and was dubbed the "Sandhurst of teachers".

## Key Activities

The NCTL's primary activities included:
* Teacher Training Funding: Provided £210 million for bursaries and salary contributions to meet recruitment targets.
* STEM Recruitment Projects: Delivered initiatives to attract teachers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
* Teaching Schools Alliances: Supported 576 alliances for school-led training and professional development.
* National Leaders of Education: Designated 1,134 leaders to assist underperforming schools.
* Headship Programs: Sponsored 9,895 participants in leadership qualifications.
* Misconduct Investigations: Managed over 1,000 cases and conducted hearings on teacher misconduct.
* Recruitment Campaigns: Promoted teaching careers through media, TV, and digital campaigns.

## Legacy and Transition

Following its dissolution in 2018, the NCTL's regulatory functions were transferred to the Teaching Regulation Agency, while broader policy and teacher development responsibilities shifted back to the Department for Education. The closure aimed to streamline oversight and improve efficiency.

# The Smoke

The Smoke were an English psychedelic pop group from York. They consisted of Mick Rowley (lead vocals), Mal Luker (lead guitar), John "Zeke" Lund (bass) and Geoff Gill (drums and compositor).
The band originally performed around Yorkshire as The Moonshots, changing their name to The Shots when they moved to London. There were two bands playing R&B and other cover versions, one called Tony Adams and the Viceroys, which included John 'Zeke' Lund on bass, Mal Luker on lead guitar and Geoff Gill on drums. The other band was The Moonshots, which included Mick Rowley on lead vocals and Phil Peacock on rhythm guitar (born Philip Peacock, 7 June 1946, Newcastle, Northumbria). These bands then came together to form The Shots and made a single for Columbia, "Keep A Hold Of What You've Got", which flopped. Peacock left the band, and they then changed their name to The Smoke.
The Smoke's biggest hit was "My Friend Jack" (German Chart: No. 2, UK Singles Chart: No. 45); the BBC banned airplay of the song over its then alleged, though highly apparent, drug references. Later singles released under the band name often had variations on the remaining trio of Lund, Luker and Gill, performing along with session musicians to pad out the sound. All failed to sell in any numbers.
Guitarist Lund later became a sound engineer for Boney M., who recorded a cover version of "My Friend Jack".
The Smoke’s demo recording of Nirvana's "Girl in the Park" opens Secret Theatre, a 1995 Nirvana rarities album.

# Nuuk Center

Located next door to the Katuaq Culture Centre, the mall is focused on offering services to a broad spectrum of customers. Above the mall is an 8-story office tower with 7,000 square metres of space. Nuuk Center is the largest and tallest building in Greenland.

## History

The planning and construction of the mall started in 2005, headed by the Nuuk Centre Association. The works were carried out by MT Højgaard.
The mall offers its customers the services of the first indoor, underground parking hall built in the country's capital.

## Reception and criticism

Nuuk Center was welcomed by the local businesses, headed by Nuuk Centre Association, and generally seen as a vehicle for strengthening the presence of local enterprises. By having a centrally placed mall, local businesses could thereby better compete with multinationals. The mall was also seen as an employment opportunity.
The mall did not receive an uncritical welcome, however. While some expressed concerns the mall would change both the dynamics and the aesthetics of the city, others saw the mall as a threat to traditional trading customs. Members of the older generation perceived Nuuk as becoming "too European" by the integration and inclusion of what had been seen perceived as essentially "foreign" institutions.
