# Howard Kanovitz

Howard Kanovitz (February 9, 1929 – February 2, 2009) was a pioneering painter in the Photorealist and Hyperrealist Movements, which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s in response to the abstract art movement.
Howard Kanovitz, whose 50-year career ranged from abstract expressionism to computer imaging, was at the forefront of the art movement known as photorealism. His 1966 landmark Jewish Museum solo exhibition launched this new genre of photo-based painting. Though dubbed by Barbara Rose “the grandfather of photorealism”, Kanovitz’s work transcended that classification in “realistic paintings for which the concept of realism is too narrow.” The preeminent art historian Sam Hunter described how Kanovitz’s “meticulous airbrush technique and exactness of vision produce an atmosphere of doubt rather than certitude and posed questions of meaning which challenge the very nature of the artistic experience.”

## Life

After moving to New York City in the 1950s Kanovitz worked as the assistant to Franz Kline. He quickly became part of the downtown abstract expressionist scene, exhibiting works at the fabled Tenth Street galleries, the Tanager and Hansa, and in the Stable Gallery annuals, where he had his first one-man show in 1962.
Even during the years when Kanovitz was receiving laudatory reviews for his abstract work, Kanovitz always painted privately with an interest in the figure and new ways to explore the illusion of form in space on a flat canvas. In 1963 after the death of his father, while poring over family photographs, Kanovitz had a Roland Barthes-like, punctum moment, that solidified his interest in the nature of representation and the complex relationship between subjectivity, meaning, and memory. He began using photographs as source material, either appropriated from the media or taken himself. In 1972, the Americans Chuck Close, Richard Estees, and Howard Kanovitz were chosen to join Europeans Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Malcolm Morley, and Franz Gertsch, in Harald Szeemann’s groundbreaking international art exposition documenta V, held in Kassel Germany, as the pre-eminent exponents of this new photo based painting. He also represented America in documenta VI, 1977.
In 1979 Kanovitz was awarded the prestigious DAAD fellowship to live and work in Berlin, where he had a mid-career retrospective of over 200 works at the Akademie der Künste, which then traveled to the Kestner Society, Hannover. He taught at the Salzburger Summer Art School, founded by Oscar Kokoschka, as well as at the School of Visual Arts in New York, and took on stage design projects in both America and Germany. In addition to the three one person museum exhibitions already cited, and one at Museum of Contemporary Art in Utrecht, Kanovitz had more than fifty one person gallery exhibitions including the Waddell, Stefanotty, Alex Rosenberg, and Marlborough galleries in New York, the Gana Art Gallery in Seoul Korea, and the Jollenbeck, Inge Baecker and Ulrig Gering Gallery in Germany where he had his last one person show in 2008, one year before he died. He participated in over 100 group shows in America and Europe.
# Micraeschus

Micraeschus is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1878.

## Description

Palpi very slender and obliquely upturned, reaching vertex of head. Antennae with fasciculated cilia in male. Thorax and abdomen tuftless. Legs naked, with normal spurs. Forewing with veins 7 to 10 stalked. Hindwings with stalked 3 and 4. Larva with two pairs of abdominal prolegs.

# Skruisbreen

Skruisbreen is a glacier in Sabine Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It has a length of about seven kilometers, and is a branch of Hellefonna. A nearby mountain is Kropotkinfjellet.
# Ventral lateral nucleus

The ventral lateral nucleus (VL) is a nucleus in the ventral nuclear group of the thalamus.

## Inputs and outputs

It receives neuronal inputs from the basal ganglia which includes the substantia nigra and the globus pallidus (via the thalamic fasciculus). It also has inputs from the cerebellum (via the dentatothalamic tract).
It sends neuronal output to the primary motor cortex and premotor cortex.
The ventral lateral nucleus in the thalamus forms the motor functional division in the thalamic nuclei along with the ventral anterior nucleus. The ventral lateral nucleus receives motor information from the cerebellum and the globus pallidus. Output from the ventral lateral nucleus then goes to the primary motor cortex.

## Functions

The function of the ventral lateral nucleus is to target efferents including the motor cortex, premotor cortex, and supplementary motor cortex. Therefore, its function helps the coordination and planning of movement. It also plays a role in the learning of movement.

## Clinical significance

A lesion of the VL has been associated with synesthesia.

## Subdivisions

The subdivisions of the ventral lateral nucleus include the following nuclei.
* ventral medial nucleus (a.k.a. medial part of ventral lateral nucleus)
* anterior ventral lateral nucleus (pallidal inputs, projects mainly to premotor cortex$^{:339}$)
* posterior ventral lateral nucleus (cerebellar inputs,$^{:339}$ principal relay to motor cortex$^{:337}$)

# Remix Album 98

Remix Album '98 is a compilation album released by the singer Alexia in 1998 in Poland. The album contained remixes of the four official singles from Alexia's debut album Fan Club along with the new track It's Christmas Time (a re-recorded version of Hold On with new lyrics) that had been released on the Christmas edition of Fan Club, two album tracks from Fan Club and a remix of Virtual Reality that was from a single release Alexia was credited to.

## Release

The album was released on CD in Poland only on the Polygram label with Alexia's management company DWA not knowing of the release. It is assumed due to the title that it was released in 1998, however from 1998, all of Alexia's releases were through Dancepool, so it may be likely that this was released in late 1997 and named 'Remix Album '98' similar to the way that compilation albums released at the end of the year title themselves to the following year.

# Theodoros Adam

Theodoros Adam (Greek: Θεόδωρος Αδάμ) was a Greek chieftain of the Macedonian Struggle.

## Biography

Adam was born in the late 19th century in Nižepole, then part of the Ottoman Empire (now in North Macedonia). He organized the National Committee of his hometown, Nižepole very early (before 1903) and set up an armed group headed by himself. Its purpose was to face Bulgarian armed action in the areas of Pelagonia and Florina until 1904, when officers arrived from free Greece.
Later, his group cooperated in many operations with the Cretan officer Ioannis Karavitis until 1907. In 1908, his group, consisting mainly of Nižepole locals, under the general instructions of the Cretan Panagiotis Gerogiannis, dealt with multiple Bulgarian armed groups.
His actions continued until the First Balkan War in 1912 and after the Young Turk Revolution, as Bulgarian armed groups continued to fight in the Pelagonia area.

# Malagasy shelduck

The Malagasy shelduck (Alopochen sirabensis), also known as the Sirabe shelduck, is an extinct species of waterfowl in the shelduck subfamily, described from Late Pleistocene fossils found at Antsirabe in central Madagascar. It is related to the extant Egyptian goose, which is widespread in mainland Africa, and to the extinct Réunion and Mauritius shelducks from the Mascarene Islands.
The reason for the extinction of the Malagasy shelduck is unknown. Further findings in the Pleistocene sites of Ampasambazimba and Ampoza, and also in the Holocene site of Beloha (where remains were carbon dated to only 1380 ± 90 years BP, 480-660 CE), show that the species was once widespread in Madagascar, inhabiting different biomes, and that it survived the arrival of humans to the island.
# Hoya siamica

Hoya siamica is a slender vine in the family Apocynaceae and tribe Marsdenieae; it can be found in Indochina and has characteristic long light green leaves.

## Description and discovery

The leaves are on average 15–20 mm wide by 40–100 mm long. It has white flowers that come in clusters of 10 to 15. The corolla of the flowers are white and flat; the corona can be a deep purple or a very pale yellow depending on how much light the plant receives. The flowers are approximately 15 mm in diameter, fuzzy, have a slight scent, and last about a week when they flower during the summer.
Hoya siamica was first found by Arthur Francis George Kerr and published by W. G. Craib in 1911 in the Kew Bulletin. Kerr discovered the plant in the jungle on the mountain Doi Suthep which is near the city Chiang Mai, at an altitude of around 1500–1650 meters above sea level. The plant derives its name from Siam, the former name of Thailand. It was later also discovered in Gaoligongshan, Yunnan Province and elsewhere in Indochina. Hoya siamica is related to Hoya longifolia.

# Longleg (novel)

Longleg is a 1990 novel by Australian author Glenda Adams.

## Critical reception

Writing in The Canberra Times Marion Halligan commented: "Longleg is not exactly a cheerful book, or rather, its cheerfiilness is the kind that goes with adversity, just as its comedy is mostly dark. Its visions are frequently bleak, and that is part of its power. I was reminded at times of a black-and-white film whose power and beauty are all the more compelling because of the absence of colour, that the shapes of things, their reality, their luminosity, are best perceived through this medium. And that it is in the shadows and their many nuances of grey that subtlety lies."

## Publication history

After its initial publication in Australia in 1990 by Angus and Robertson it was reprinted as follows:
* Cane Hill Press, USA, 1992
* Angus & Robertson, Australia, 1995

# Kushima Castle

Kushima Castle (玖島城, Kushima-jō), also known as Ōmura Castle (大村城, Ōmura-jō) from its location, is a Japanese castle located in Ōmura, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.

## History

Kushima castle is built on a peninsula extending into Ōmura Bay. Kushima Castle was the ancestral home of the Ōmura clan, having first been constructed in the Kamakura period by descendants of Fujiwara no Sumitomo. It was the base of Kirishitan daimyō Ōmura Yoshiaki (1568–1615), who assisted Toyotomi Hideyoshi in securing control of Kyūshū. After Hideyoshi’s death and the Battle of Sekigahara, the Ōmura clan was confirmed by shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu as a tozama han with revenues of 27,000 koku in their ancestral territories. The Sengoku period castle of 1598 was rebuilt in 1614 by Ōmura Sumiyori per plans draw up by noted castle designer Katō Kiyomasa. After the start of the national isolation policy and the persecution of the Japanese Christians, many local Christians were herded into the grounds of Ōmura Castle and forced to take poison in 1616. Ōmura Sumiyori himself was poisoned in 1619.
The Ōmura daimyō remained in residence at Kushima Castle until the Meiji Restoration of 1868. It was the seat of the local government until 1871, when the former Ōmura Domain was merged into the new Nagasaki Prefecture. The donjon was pulled down in 1871, as were all of the supporting structures. Today, only the moat and portions of stone walls remain.
In 1884, a Shinto shrine was erected on the foundations of the former keep, in honor of the spirits of the generations of Ōmura daimyō. In 1981, one of the yagura and some earthen walls were reconstructed. The site of the castle now forms Ōmura Park, which contains a number of protected plant species, including many examples of the Ōmura sakura and extensive public gardens.
