# Hiroyuki Suzuki (architectural historian)

Hiroyuki Suzuki (鈴木 博之, Suzuki Hiroyuki, May 14, 1945 – February 3, 2014) was a prominent Japanese architectural historian who also established a reputation abroad.
For most of his career Suzuki was Professor of the History of Architecture at the University of Tokyo (1974-2009), and for a period was also Chairman of Tokyo University's Graduate School of Architecture. Later in life he joined the faculty of the School of Cultural and Creative Studies at Aoyama University. He was the author of over a dozen books and countless articles in Japanese, but was best known to English readers as the co-author (with Reyner Banham and Kobayashi Katsuhiro) of Contemporary Architecture of Japan, 1958-1984 (New York: Rizzoli, 1985) and Shuhei Endo: Paramodern Architecture (Phaidon Press, 2006), among others.
His Japanese-language scholarship ranged from research on such prominent Meiji-period figures as Josiah Conder and Itō Chūta (伊東忠太), to many works on contemporary Tokyo, a city to which he was strongly attached. He was among the first architectural historians inside or outside Japan to focus on Meiji and Taisho-period architects and architecture, and argue for continuities between this and the later post-war period when Japanese 'modern' architecture became globally influential.
Suzuki was a strong proponent of preserving "modern", and not just "traditional" Japanese architecture, and did not shy from wading into development controversies. As chairman of the Japanese branch of the Paris-based conservation group Docomomo International, he oversaw drafting of a list of 135 "modern" Japanese structures worthy of protection. He was a prominent member of the Architectural Consortium that in 2012 received the World Monuments Fund / Knoll Modernism Prize for saving and restoring the Hizuchi Elementary School in Shikoku, designed by Masatsune Matsumura in the late 1950s. He also consulted on the restoration of Tokyo Station.
For twelve years (1996-2008) Suzuki was one of three members of the Ad Hoc Group of Experts at the Coordinating Committee of Angkor (ICC), advising the Cambodian government on the preservation of Angkor Wat
Among many honors, Suzuki was a recipient of Japan's Medal of Honor (褒章 hōshō) with Purple Ribbon for his service to scholarship.
# Brivido Giallo

Brivido Giallo is an Italian horror cable series that featured four full-length movies directed by Lamberto Bava. The films included in airing order are Graveyard Disturbance, Until Death, The Ogre, and Dinner with a Vampire.

## Production

In the late 1980s Italian film productions began to flounder, so director Lamberto Bava decided to make a jump to television. He struck a deal with executive producers Gianfranco Transunto and Gianlorenzo Battaglia to make a cable television series that would consist of four full-length films. The plan was to have each film have a different tone: Graveyard Disturbance and Dinner with a Vampire having a comical approach and Until Death and The Ogre having a more serious approach. All four films would be co-written by legendary Italian writer Dardano Sacchetti with music composed by Simon Boswell.

## Home video release

The series have never been released together, but each film has been released around the world separately, sometimes released under different titles.
In the United States The Ogre was the first film in the series to be released on DVD in 2003 through Media-Blasters subsidiary Shriek Show (which retitled the film Demons III: The Ogre on the DVD artwork). MYA Communication would later release the other three films on DVD in 2009.

# British Bechuanaland

British Bechuanaland was a short-lived Crown colony of the United Kingdom that existed in southern Africa from its formation on 30 September 1885 until its annexation to the neighbouring Cape Colony on 16 November 1895. British Bechuanaland had an area of 51,424 square miles (133,190 km$^2$) and a population of 84,210. Today the region forms part of South Africa.

## History

Bechuanaland meant "the country of the Tswana", and for administrative purposes was divided into two political entities by the Molopo River. The northern part was administered as the Bechuanaland Protectorate, and the southern part was administered as the Crown colony of British Bechuanaland.
In 1882, the Tswana country suffered two secessions by the Boer states of Stellaland and Goshen. For many months, starting in 1883, pressure was placed on the British Government to take action in Bechuanaland because of unrest in the area. On 29 October 1884, the British Government appointed Sir Charles Warren as Special Commissioner of Bechuanaland. On 13 November 1884, Parliament voted a sum of £675,000 (this is equivalent to over £32 million today) for military operations in Bechuanaland. Sir Charles Warren was authorised to recruit an irregular force of 1,500 in South Africa in addition to the regular troops that would be provided.
A force of 4,000 troops, under Sir Charles Warren, set off to recapture Stellaland and Goshen. On 7 February 1885 the force reached Vryburg, the principal town in Stellaland, then continued to the hamlet of Rooigrond, the administrative centre of Goshen. Just north of Rooigrond the town of Mafeking was laid out as an administrative centre. By 8 April 1885, Sir Charles Warren sent a dispatch to notify the British Government that he had occupied Bechuanaland and had entirely restored order. The two Boer republics had collapsed without any bloodshed.
On 30 September 1885, Stellaland, Goshen and other territories to the south of the Molopo and Nossob rivers (excluding Griqualand West) were constituted as the Crown Colony of British Bechuanaland. In 1891, the South African Customs Union was extended to British Bechuanaland, and, in 1895, the colony was annexed to the Cape Colony and now forms part of South Africa, the area around Mafikeng.
