# Taipan (corporate title)

A taipan (Chinese: 大班; pinyin: dà bān; Sidney Lau: daai$^6$baan$^1$, literally "top class"), sometimes spelled tai-pan, is a foreign-born senior business executive or entrepreneur operating in mainland China or Hong Kong.

## History

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, taipans were foreign-born businessmen who headed large hong trading houses such as Jardine, Matheson & Co., Swire and Dent & Co., amongst others.
The first recorded use of the term in English is in the Canton Register of 28 October 1834. Historical variant spellings include taepan (first appearance) and typan.
The term also refers to the Chinese-Filipino business oligarchs who own or have involvement in various businesses in the Philippines and are the powerful billionaire-founders of Chinese-Filipino business empires. Examples of taipans are: The López family of Iloilo of Lopez Holdings Corporation; the late Henry Sy of SM Investments; National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) vice-chairmen Henry T. Sy Jr. and Robert Coyiuto Jr.; Ramon Ang of San Miguel Corporation; and Lucio Tan of Philippine Airlines.

## In popular culture

The term gained wide currency outside China after the publication of Somerset Maugham's 1922 short story "The Taipan" and James Clavell's 1966 novel Tai-Pan, and was film adapted in 1986, directed by Daryl Duke.
The term was used to describe the protagonist's family in Empire of the Sun.

# He's a Rebel (album)

He's a Rebel is the second studio album by girl group The Crystals, and also the second LP in the Philles catalogue. It was released in February 1963, as an effort to take an advantage of the monster hit "He's a Rebel", which went to number 1 US in 1962. The song was actually recorded by the Blossoms with Darlene Love on lead vocals and attributed to the Crystals. Notably on the LP is "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)," a withdrawn single by the "real" Crystals group.
This was a repackaging of Twist Uptown, the Crystals' debut. Two of the original eleven tracks were taken from that album and replaced with "He's a Rebel" and its follow-up "He's Sure the Boy I Love" (number 11 US, also recorded with the Blossoms) while "He Hit Me" was added for a twelfth track. The He's a Rebel album peaked at number 131 US.

# Beginnings (Steve Howe album)

Beginnings is the debut studio album by English guitarist and songwriter Steve Howe, released in October 1975 by Atlantic Records. It was recorded and released during a break in activity from the progressive rock band Yes, after they agreed for each member to produce a solo album. Howe employed various guest musicians, including past and present Yes bandmates Bill Bruford, Alan White and Patrick Moraz, plus members of Gryphon.
The album reached No. 22 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 63 on the US Billboard 200. It was supported with promotional videos of "Ram" and "Beginnings".

## Background and recording

In August 1975, Howe had been the guitarist in the progressive rock band Yes for five years. After the band finished touring their seventh album Relayer (1974) that month, the group agreed to take an extended break and have each member record a solo album. Howe began by selecting demos that he had collected over the years and aimed, before inviting guest musicians, to play by himself as many parts as were practicable.

## Reception

| AllMusic | |
AllMusic's retrospective review deemed Beginnings an artistic failure, summarizing that "The playing is strong throughout, but towards what end is the mystery -- none of the songs are particularly memorable, nor is the production[...] and Howe is such a weak singer that he'd have been better off[...] sticking to instrumentals."

## Juuan Elli

Ellinpäivät is a scenario where in four days different associations, communities, and companies arrange events for each day. To get information about these events there is a notification in the newspaper Vaarojen Sanomat. In the paper there is info and a timetable for the events. The board selects the people in charge of the scenario. Elli refers to the figurehead of the scenario and a new figurehead is chosen every year.
The events can include concerts, market events, the declaring of a new Elli, and a new event called “Juuret Juuassa –ryhmän Rehvit”. Essentially, the event is a car show where many retro cars and their drivers can be found. For that reason, it's often called a rally for older youngsters.

Secondaries. Much duller than in G. parmeno, the characteristic streak along the costal margin darker; the hindmarginal row of spots yellow instead of white; a distinct shading of mauve apparent on the inner margin.

He supported the playwright Marlene Streeruwitz and staged the premieres of several of her plays. As a guest director, Fischer was especially active in Vienna at several theaters there.
From 1995 to 2003 he held the position of acting director in Cologne. Other productions there included Ferenc Molnár's Liliom (1996), the world premiere of Wilfried Happel's Mordslust (1996), the world premiere of Tankred Dorst's Die Geschichte der Pfeile [de] (1996) and Eugene O’Neills Long Day's Journey into Night (1998).

## Awards

In 1988 and 2005 Fischer received the Karl-Skraup-Prize [de] of the City of Vienna.
