# Ira Nowinski

Ira Nowinski is a photographer. Nowinski earned a Master of Fine Art's degree from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1973. From the late 1970s through the early 1980s, Nowinski served as the official photographer of the San Francisco Opera. His photographs have been collected extensively by the University of California, Berkeley's Bancroft Library; Stanford University Libraries' Department of Special Collections; Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the National Museum of Photography, Bradford, England.
He has worked on three major photographic projects documenting various aspects of the Jewish experience in the 20th Century: In Fitting Memory: The Art and Politics of Holocaust Memorials; Karaite Jews in Egypt, Israel, and the San Francisco Bay Area; and Soviet Jews in San Francisco.
His current projects include a photographic exploration of the Galapagos Islands.
He has had major exhibitions of his photography at the Stanford University Libraries' Peterson Gallery in 2004 and the Judah L. Magnes Museum in 2007.

## Biography

Ira Nowinski, an American photographer of Polish and Hungarian Jewish descent, was born in 1942 in New York City and raised in New Rochelle, NY. At the age of 42, he was prodded by opera singer Regina Resnick to do a photo essay around the Jewish milieu. He had previously done photo essays of the North Beach, San Francisco, area, of the evacuation of elderly citizens from hotels in the South of Market area of San Francisco, and of the Southeast Asian Community in the same city. In addition, he had been the staff photographer of the San Francisco Opera since 1978.
Working first with Resnick and then with Seymour Fromer of the Judah L. Magnes Museum, Rhonda Abrams of the Anti-Defamation League, Anita Friedman of Jewish Family & Children's Services, and the Northern California Board of Rabbis, Nowinski began documenting the Jewish experience in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of his first projects was to document Soviet Jews who had immigrated during the 1970s and 1980s.
He also photographed the Karaite Jewish Community in Foster City. The Karaites were a Jewish community that had lived for nearly 500 years in Egypt. The Arab-Israeli war resulted in the expulsion of the Jews from Egypt at the conclusion of that conflict. Many subsequently immigrated first to Israel and then to Northern California. Nowinski retraced their migration route in reverse, first photographing Karaites in Foster City, California, then in Israel, and finally in Egypt.
Nowinski and Sybil Milton of the U.S. Holocaust Museum did a joint work on the Holocaust Memorials throughout Europe, Israel, and in the United States. This work, entitled "In fitting memory : the art and politics of Holocaust memorials" combined text provided by Milton with Nowinski's photographic essay of the monuments documenting the millions of Jews who lost their lives under the Nazi regime.
# Ira North

Ira Lutts North (August 31, 1922 in Ethridge, Tennessee – January 15, 1984 in Nashville, Tennessee) was a preacher and author within the Churches of Christ.
North's family operated the North Funeral Home in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee in addition to the family farm in Etheridge, so that he grew up in somewhat more affluent circumstances than most Middle Tennesseans of the Great Depression era.
North received his education at David Lipscomb College (now Lipscomb University, Abilene Christian College (now Abilene Christian University (B.A.), University of Illinois (M.A.), and Louisiana State University (Ph.D.).
At the age of 17 North began a 43-year preaching ministry that ranged from Illinois and Louisiana to Tennessee. His longest ministry service was for Madison Church of Christ in Madison, Tennessee (suburban Nashville). He began preaching for the Madison church in 1953 and continued there for over 30 years. During the latter part of his tenure, he also served as editor of the Gospel Advocate, the longest-running and most-influential periodical in the Churches of Christ, having been originally established prior to the American Civil War and edited for a long time afterwards by David Lipscomb. During his time as its primary minister, the Madison church grew to one of the largest Churches of Christ worldwide. In failing health due to cancer, he retired to his farm in the Neely's Bend section of Madison shortly before his death.
North wrote several books, most notably Balance - A Tried And Tested Formula For Church Growth. He was also the primary teacher on the nationally televised Amazing Grace Bible Class, often taped on Sunday nights at the Madison building, which featured lessons like "If I Were a Woman" among other topics.
North's son Steve became an attorney after graduation from the Pepperdine University school of law and eventually moved his practice to a stone building near the Madison Church of Christ building which was the former home of "Colonel" Tom Parker, manager of Elvis Presley, while his daughter-in-law, Jo Ann North, was the longtime Assessor of Property for Davidson County, Tennessee; both are now retired.
An encourager of Sunday School programs, Vacation Bible School and other youth outreach protrams, the Gospel Advocate posthumously called him a "lover of the very young" in 1990.
His wife, the former Avon Stephens, whom he wed in 1939, died in April 2008.

# Irène Fuerison

Irène Fuerison, née Van Santen, (8 January 1875 - 26 June 1931) was a Belgian composer.

## Biography

Irène Van Santen was born in Ghent to a tradesman, August Van Santen, and a contralto singer, Florine Lepla, who was a graduate of the conservatoire of Ghent (class of Louis Cabel, 1867) and who performed in public at least until 1878. Irène learned to play piano and maybe to sing as well. In 1893, she married the lawyer Joseph Fuerison and assumed his name. They had one daughter in 1899, named Madeleine.
The Fuerisons lived in a mansion in Ghent and, while being fluent in Flemish, belonged to the French-speaking middleclass. They spent the First World War in Ghent.
Fuerison was widowed in 1921 after her husband suffered a stroke. She had been visually impaired for several years by then.
Fuerison died at her home in Ghent in 1931. She bequeathed a fund for a prize to encourage promising young Belgian composers; the Irène Fuerison-prize is being awarded every two years since 1934.

## Work

Fuerison's music compositions include over 70 songs for voice and piano, but also a couple of pieces for piano solo and for chamber music, some orchestra works and one music theatre work. Her vocal work is mostly in French language.
Her compositional activity occurred in three periods.
* Her earliest works are nine songs dated "1908" and "1909" (op. 1 to 9).
* Her most prolific activity occurred during the First World War and until her husband's death in 1921 (op. 10 to 75 or 76).
* She resumed composing in 1923-1924 (op. 76 or 77 to 86 or 87) and again in 1926 (op. 87 or 88 to 95).
Over the course of the years, her style matured towards a distancing from tonal harmonic frameworks, until in 1926 she stopped writing key signatures. Her style is impressionistic, post-romantic but not atonal.

# Irreligion in the Maldives

Irreligion in the Maldives is a social taboo, and irreligious people are systematically socially and legally discriminated against.

## Law

The Constitution of the Maldives designates Islam as the official state religion, and the government and many citizens at all levels interpret this provision to impose a requirement that all citizens must be Muslims. The Constitution states the president must be a Sunni Muslim. There is no freedom of religion or belief. This situation leads to institutionally sanctioned religious oppression against non-Muslims and ex-Muslims who currently reside in the country.
On 27 April 2014, the Maldives ratified a new regulation that revived the death penalty (abolished in 1953, when the last execution took place) for a number of hudud offences, including apostasy for persons from the age of 7 and older.. The new regulation was strongly criticised by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the EU's High Representative, pointing out that they violated the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which the Maldives have ratified, that ban the execution of anyone for offences committed before the age of 18.

## Incidents
### Mohamed Nazim

During a question-and-answer session at one of Indian Muslim orator Zakir Naik's lectures on 29 May 2010 on the Maldives, a 37-year-old Maldivian citizen named Mohamed Nazim stood up and announced that he was struggling to believe in any religion and did not consider himself to be a Muslim, Nazim further asked what his verdict would be under Islam and in the Maldives. Zakir responded that he considers the punishment for apostasy not necessarily to mean death since Muhammed was reported in the Hadith scriptures to on some occasion to have shown clemency towards apostates, but added that if a Muslim apostate speaks and propagates against Islam under Islamic Sharia rule then the apostate should be put to death.
Mohamed Nazim was reported to have been arrested and put in protective custody by the Maldivian Police. He later publicly reverted to Islam in custody after receiving two days of counseling by two Islamic scholars, but was held awaiting possible charges.

### Ismail Mohamed Didi

On July 14, 2010, Maldivian news site Minivan News reported that 25-year-old air traffic controller Ismail Mohamed Didi had sent two emails, dated June 25, to international human rights organisations declaring that he was an atheist ex-Muslim and that he desired help with his asylum application (directed to the United Kingdom) due to increased repression from family and colleague shunning and anonymous death threats via phone. The same day that the report was posted, Didi was found hanged in the aircraft control tower at Malé International Airport in an apparent suicide.
# Isabel Bonner

Isabel Bonner (June 12, 1907 – July 1, 1955) was an American stage actress.

## Biography

Bonner was born on June 12, 1907, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As a child, she began her career in her father's stock company. She later studied in New York under Alex Koiransky and Maria Ouspenskaya, and made her Broadway debut as the ingénue in Let Freedom Ring. She had several later theatre roles, including parts in Processional, Trojan Incident, Uncle Harry, Liliom, Medicine Show, Laura, Foolish Nation, The Front Page, and The Biggest Thief in Town. She also had some roles in television productions, such as Suspense and The Philco Television Playhouse, and in the radio serials Nora Drake and The Right to Happiness.
She played roles multiple times in The Shrike, a drama play written by her husband, Joseph Kramm. She first portrayed Dr. Barrow, a psychiatrist, during its Broadway debut in 1952. Then, when the show went on an extended tour of the east, she played the wife of the male lead, who was portrayed by Dane Clark. In 1955, she took the role of the wife again in a four-week run at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
On July 1, 1955, while performing a scene in the play that took place in a hospital, she collapsed on a bed, having died of a cerebral hemorrhage. Clark, ad-libbing, put his arm around Bonner and said "Ann, speak to me. Is something the matter? What's wrong, darling? I love you." Then, realizing something was wrong, he turned to the wings and said "Bring down the curtain." A film editor in the audience, Harold Cornsweet, later said of the ad-libbed scene: "It was so realistic that people in the audience were crying." Bonner's funeral service was held on July 7, 1955, at the Church of the Transfiguration, Episcopal in Manhattan, New York City. Bonner appeared in the 1955 film adaptation of The Shrike, released after her death, as Dr. Barrow.
# Isis Junction railway station

The Isis Junction railway station is a former railway station on the North Coast railway line in Buxton, Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia. It was the junction for the former Isis railway line that served the Shire of Isis.

## History

The name reflects its role as the junction to the Isis railway line. In turn, the name Isis comes from the nearby Isis River, which in turn is believed to be named after the Isis River in England by William Howard, a pioneer miner in the district who came from London.
The town of Isistown was surveyed by Fred. J. Charlton around the Isis Junction railway station and to the north of the Isis River (split across the present day localities of Isis River and Buxton). The first land sale of town allotments were held on 9 January 1886. The town was promoted as having many benefits including:
* being the junction of the two railway lines
* having a good river
* having excellent timber
* being in a district with rich agricultural potential
* being prospected for coal fields
A further land sale for Isistown was held on 5 June 1886, but today there is no evidence that any town was established in the area.
Isistown Provisional School opened circa 1888 and closed circa 1890.
# Islamic extremism in Northern Nigeria

Islamic extremism is adherence to a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam (see Islamic fundamentalism), potentially including the promotion of violence to achieve political goals (see Jihadism). In contemporary times, Islamic extremism in Northern Nigeria is typified by the Boko Haram insurgency and the proselytizing campaigns of Salafist groups such as the Izala Society.

## History

The first recorded extremism in what is now Northern Nigeria was waged in the 14th century by the then Sultan of Kano Ali Yaji, it culminated in the Battle of Santolo and the subsequent transformation of the Habe-Hausa kingdoms of Northern Nigeria into Islamic sultanates. In the 19th century, the Fula people led by Usman dan Fodio overthrew many of these sultanates in another Jihad campaign and replaced them with the more puritanical Sokoto Caliphate. The slow rise of Islamic mysticism in the form of Sufi brotherhoods under the caliphate reversed some of the more puritanical tendencies of the early caliphate.
After the pacification of Northern Nigeria by the British, they preserved most of the native institutions of the Sokoto Caliphate including its emirates which were aligned with the Sufi orders. In the 1960s, the former Grand Qadi of Northern Nigeria, Abubakar Gumi and Sheikh Ismaila Idris with support of Wahabbist organisations from Saudi Arabia established the Jamatul Izalatul Bidia Wa Ikhamatul Sunnah.
Infused with further religious zeal from Gumi, offshoots of Izalatul Bidi'a Wa Ikamatul Sunnah like Boko Haram and Ansaru developed.

## Izala

Izala was the first Islamist organization in modern times to openly advocate for a militant transformation of Northern Nigerian institutions in line with fundamentalist interpretations of Islam. Officially founded in 1978 with funding from Saudi Arabia, it is split between the more Militant Ikhwanist-Qutbist view and the more political Maududist view. The Ikhwanists find inspiration from the teachings of the early Wahabist Ikhwan Movement and Sayyid Qutb, who justified the violent overthrow of systems deemed un-Islamic. In 2001, a faction of the Ikhwanist broke away to form Boko Haram. The Maududist faction found inspiration from the teachings of the movement's founder Abubakar Gumi and Abul A'la Maududi and advocated for a 'smart' political jihad that they believe will mitigate any loss of life on their part.

## Boko Haram

Jihadist group Boko Haram began their insurgency with an uprising in 2009. They have carried out many attacks since then, killing thousands of people. In the mid-2010s, their insurgency expanded into Cameroon, Chad, Mali, and Niger.
