# Bâtard

"Bâtard" (English: "Bastard" or "Mongrel") is a short story by Jack London, first published in 1902 under the title "Diable — A Dog" in The Cosmopolitan before being renamed "Bâtard" in 1904.

## Story

The story follows Black Leclère and Bâtard, two "devils", one in a man and the other in a wolfdog. Their intense hatred of each other forms the plot as each wants to kill the other, despite their master-pet relationship. At the end, Bâtard ends up killing his owner but is later killed himself.
The story is a study of an animal's reaction to its treatment by man. There were complaints about the way the dog's behavior was described, and London followed up on the same theme with The Call of the Wild.

## Etymology

"Bâtard" means bastard or mongrel and "diable" means devil in French. Both are descriptive of the dog.

# Fender Prophecy II Bass

The Fender Prophecy II Bass was a Japanese-made, limited-edition bass guitar which was a significant departure from the well-known traditional Precision Bass and Jazz Bass. It was actually produced by Heartfield (a subsidiary of Fender) in Japan's Fujigen Gakki factory.
Unique features of the bass include a double-pointed 2-and-2 headstock painted black (rather than the trademark natural-finish Fender 4-on-top headstock), and a 22-fret neck with a smoothly carved bolt-on neck joint body-through heel. The body loosely resembles a thinline jazz body with a longer strap horn without a pickguard or metal knob-plate. The hardware was gold and the paint was translucent on the body and the back of the neck.
The electronics were active with covered passive pickups, set up like a Precision Bass Special (a split-coil humbucker at center, and single-coil jazz pickup at bridge). The knobs are set up in a diamond pattern under the bridge and bridge pickup. The knobs represented Volume, Trim/Pot, Bass and Treble.
The Prophecy I featured a basswood body and passive electronics while the Prophecy III employed a neck-through-body design.

# Brian Groombridge

Brian Groombridge (born December 18, 1953) is a Canadian visual artist. He currently lives and works in Toronto, Ontario.

## Biography

Groombridge was born in Sarnia, Ontario in 1953. He attended Sheridan College in 1972, and continued at the Ontario College of Art (O.C.A., now OCAD University) from 1974 to 1978. In 1977 he became part of O.C.A.'s New York Off-Campus Study Program. Groombridge works in various media including screen-print, letterpress and sculpture. His work has been presented across Canada and abroad at venues including Het Apollohuis, Eindhoven, Netherlands; Cold City Gallery, Toronto; Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax; Plug In ICA, Winnipeg; and The Power Plant, Toronto. His work has been collected by various public institutions including Art Gallery of Hamilton; Art Gallery of Nova Scotia; Art Gallery of Ontario; Museum London; National Gallery of Canada; Vancouver Art Gallery; and numerous private collections.

## Art Practice

Brian Groombridge's internationally exhibited work is characterized by a reductive, minimalist style with subject matter inspired by historical sources such as facts, data and measurements that usually pertain to the art world. As Jen Hutton writes in her 2013 essay Galileo's Finger, "[Groombridge's] sculptures, installations, and wall works employ a strict rationality: hard edges, cool metals, and bright, smooth finishes. If there is decoration, it is austere. If there is text, it is extremely concise or merely a label." Groombridge's work often refers to the transient nature of things, and plays with the idea of fluctuation by presenting meaning and perception as flexible, not fixed. In a 2008 Globe and Mail article by Gary Michael Dault, Groombridge is quoted as saying ""I love the arrested moment. Meaning that moment when just to look at something stops it in its tracks—like slicing one frame from a film." Groombridge's work combines poetic and literal elements to comment on select moments of history and life that are worthy of contemplation and respect. In his work Groombridge also often refers to systems of knowledge such as measurement, geography and cosmology. As E. C. Woodley states in a 2013 review in Art in America, "Signs of engagement with the cosmos appear frequently in Brian Groombridge's work, representing a hunger for knowledge beyond ourselves and a faith in such knowledge even if it is minuscule compared with what we don't know."

# Vietnamese sika deer

The Vietnamese sika deer (Cervus nippon pseudaxis) also known as the indochinese sika deer is one of the many subspecies of the sika deer. It is one of the smaller subspecies, due to the tropical environment they live in. They were previously found in northern Vietnam and possibly southwestern China, but may now be extinct in the wild. There are plans for reintroducing this subspecies in the future.
Pressures from the human populations have continued to harm any remaining deer in the wild, triggering a loss of genetic diversity that can be attributed to the remaining populations being so fragmented.
# Villamanínite

Villamanínite is a copper sulfide mineral with small amounts of other elements, belonging to group II according to the Strunz classification. It was discovered in 1920 when studying the copper minerals of the Providencia mine in the municipality of Cármenes, León (Spain). The English researchers who identified it gave it the name of villamaninite when they confused the municipality in which the mine was actually located, because Villamanín is where the ore was loaded onto the railroad for export.
Villamanínite appears in the Providencia mine in two habits: either as crystals, rough in general, cubic, cuboctahedral or octahedral, usually less than 1 mm, or as fibroradiated nodules up to 1 cm in diameter. It is found in a crystalline dolomite together with other sulfides, especially bravoite, linnaeite, bornite, tetrahedrite and pyrite. The Providencia mine is located 2.3 km west of the town of Villanueva de Pontedo, and was initially exploited between 1906 and 1914. The mining work stopped due to problems in the processing of the ore. In 1920 it was reopened, sending samples to London to study the best form for its processing. In these samples the villamaninite was discovered as a new mineral. With some interruptions, the mine remained active until 1963.
Although the presence of villamanínite has also been reported in about a dozen sites around the world, the Providencia mine so far remains the only place where samples visible to the naked eye can be obtained.
# Villamandos

# Bridgefoot Halt railway station

Bridgefoot Halt railway station was opened in 1914. The halt was in the settlement of Bridgefoot close to the town of Banff. The line from Tillynaught opened in 1859 and a temporary terminus opened at Banff on 30 July 1859 and a permanent station opened in 1860. Bridgehouse Halt had a single platform and was opened by the GNoSR. The OS map of 1902 shows a 'Halt' at the site of the 1914 platform without indicating any structure at the site.
The Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) took over the line in 1867 and operated it until grouping in 1923. Passing into British Railways ownership in 1948, the line was, like the rest of the former GNoSR lines along the Moray coast, considered for closure as part of the Beeching report and closure notices were issued in 1963. Passenger services were withdrawn in July 1964 and the entire line finally closed to all traffic in 1968.

## Station infrastructure

The halt was a simple structure with a small shelter and a short wooden platform, with no provision for goods traffic, closing in 1964 with no significant remains surviving on site. The OS map of 1902 does show a 'Halt' at the site of the 1914 platform without indicating any structure at the site.

# Visst katten har djuren själ!

Visst katten har djuren själ - En samling historier av och för djurvänner in Swedish and Jovisst har dyrene sjel in Norwegian (in English Sure an Animal Has a Soul - An Anthology of Tales about and for our Animal Friends; this book has not been translated into English) is a non-fictional theme book about animals written by Norwegian-Swedish author Margit Sandemo. There is a word play in the original Swedish title of book, because the word "katten," in addition to meaning "cat," is also used in the Swedish phrase which means "damn it!" As literally translated, the title of book is An Animal Has a Soul, (a Cat) Damn It!
This book was created in the same way as Vi är inte ensamma, a book about guardian angels. Sandemo asked readers of the Norwegian weekly magazine Hjemmet and the Swedish Hemmets Journal if they believed that animals have souls. She received over 1500 letters from magazine readers, without a single negative answer among them. These answers were used as the primary material of the book. Visst katten har djuren själ consists of several humorous short stories and photographs chiefly about pets, as well as wild animals. The stories quote from reader responses, and the book contains very little text by the author herself—primarily the foreword, the afterword and a few casual comments.
Margit Sandemo has always loved animals, and it stands out in her novels. She is an honorary member of the Kjemp för Dyrene, the Norwegian animal rights organization.

## Political career

Engelbrecht joined the Democratic Alliance and was elected as the councillor for ward 42 in the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (Pretoria) in 2011. She served on the municipality's public accounts committee. In September 2015, she applied to be the DA's mayoral candidate in Tshwane for the 2016 elections. She was up against DA Member of the Provincial Legislature, Solly Msimanga, and 2011 mayoral candidate, Brandon Topham for the position. Msimanga was later chosen as the DA's mayoral candidate, however, Engelbrecht was then chosen to become a DA Permanent delegate to the National Council of Provinces from Gauteng. She was sworn into office on 4 November 2015.
In November 2018, the former Mayor of Cape Town, Patricia de Lille, laid charges of defamation, crimen injuria, fraud against Engelbrecht and three other DA members because of a forged post they shared on social media, appearing to be from the Auditor-General.
In May 2019 she stood for election to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature as 23rd on the party's list. The DA won only twenty seats, meaning that Engelbrecht missed out. She did not return to the NCOP. She was then sworn in as a DA PR councillor in Tshwane later in May. In June 2019, it revealed that she and four other DA councillors could be removed if the DA's federal legal commission found that they were irregularly nominated to fill five vacant councillor positions in the city council. The FLC later ruled that they were not irregularly nominated
Engelbrecht was sworn in as a Member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature on 18 February 2021.
