The British Covenant was a protest organised in 1914 against the Third Home Rule Bill for Ireland.  It largely mirrored the Ulster Covenant of 1912.

With the failure of Asquith and Bonar Law to reach a compromise on the delayed bill, Law accepted that a compromise was unlikely, and from January 1914 onwards returned to the position that the Unionists were "opposed utterly to Home Rule". The campaign was sufficient to bring the noted organiser Lord Milner back into politics to support the Unionists, and he immediately asked L. S. Amery to write a British Covenant saying that the signers would, if the Home Rule Bill passed,
"feel justified in taking or supporting any action that may be effective to prevent it being put into operation, and more particularly to prevent the armed forces of the Crown being used to deprive the people of Ulster of their rights as citizens of the United Kingdom".
The Covenant was announced at a massive rally in Hyde Park on 4 April 1914, with hundreds of thousands assembling to hear Milner, Long and Carson speak.

The signature campaign was largely organised through the Primrose League and Walter Long's Union Defence League. By the middle of the summer, two million signatures were obtained,  together with £12,000 and a pledge to house 5-6,000 women and children.

Signatures included Field-Marshal Lord Roberts, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward Seymour, Rudyard Kipling, and Sir William Ramsay FRS.

The Daily Herald condemned the campaign
... the fact that Lords Selbourne and Curzon, to say nothing of Lord Milner, are all members of that treasonous and seditious conspiracy known as the 'British Covenant' in support of armed revolution in Ulster.

The British Covenant coincided with the Larne Gun Running.  During the Curragh Incident, Engineer Lieutenant Ranken of HMS Firedrake, as a signatory of the British Covenant, declined to be a party to propelling the ship.

Antony Beaujon also Anthony ( 1763 – 17 October 1805) was a Dutch and British civil servant and politician in Guyana. He served as Governor of Demarara from May 1795 until 5 July 1802, and as Lieutenant governor of Demerara and Essequibo from 13 August 1804 until his death.

Biography
Beaujon was born in Sint Eustatius in a family of merchants. In the 1790s, he was member of the Court of Policy of the Dutch colonies Demerara and Essequibo, and served as Secretary of Demarara. On 18 January 1795, William V, Prince of Orange fled from the Netherlands, and went into exile in Great-Britain. While in exile, Willem V started writing the Kew Letters to the colonial governors urging them to submit to Great-Britain. On 23 April 1795, Governor baron Willem August Sirtema van Grovestins discussed the matter with the Court of Policy, however the Patriots (Republicans) outnumbered the Orangists (traditionalists and nobility), and the colonies remained part of the Batavian Republic.

On 4 May 1795, HMS Zebra arrived in the harbour of Stabroek (nowadays: Georgetown) offering British protection against a possible French attack. The Court of Policy issued a statement that they could not accept the offer. Governor Sirtema van Grovestins boarded HMS Zebra which sailed away on 6 May, and Beaujon was appointed acting Governor of Demarara. On 20 April 1796, a British fleet appeared, and on 22 April, Demerara and Essequibo surrendered to Admiral Rodney without a fight. All laws and customs of the colonies could remain, and the citizens were equal to British subjects. Any government official who swore loyalty to the British crown could remain in function. Beaujon swore an oath of allegiance, and remained in function.

Demerara fared well under British rule, exports increased substantially and the number of slaves more than doubled. The colonies were returned to the Netherlands by the Peace of Amiens. On 5 July 1802, Beaujon was dismissed, and ordered to return to the Netherlands. Fearing a hostile reception, he decided to go to England instead.

On 18 May 1803, war was declared between Great Britain and France, and on 17 September, a British fleet arrived in Demerara which capitulated the next day. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Nicholson became acting Governor. On 13 August 1804, Beaujon had returned from England, and was installed as Lieutenant governor of Demerara and Essequibo.

On 17 October 1805, Beaujon died in Stabroek, at the age of 42.

Victor Smorgon  (2 January 1913 – 3 July 2009) was an Australian industrialist, arts patron and benefactor, who was founder and former head of the Victor Smorgon Group.

Biography
Smorgon was born in 1913 in Heidelberg, a German settlement in Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. His father, Naum (Norman) Smorgon, ran a kosher butcher shop until the business was nationalized in 1927, with the Smorgon family emigrating to Australia later that year. Naum Smorgon and his brothers resumed the family's kosher butchery in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton North, and Victor entered the wholesale meat business. The success of Victor's meat importing business saw the entire family become involved in the company, and soon Smorgon Consolidated Industries expanded its business to cover plastics, glass, steel and recycling.

By 1995, the collective worth of Smorgon Consolidated Industries' interests in steel, paper, plastics, packaging and property had been estimated at between A$1.2 billion and $1.5 billion. In February of that year, the Smorgon family decided to divest the company (with the exception of the Smorgon Steel Group, Australia's second-largest steel producer, which was floated publicly). The proceeds of the SCI sale were distributed among the seven branches of the Smorgon family in Australia, and re-invested or used to purchase new holdings under the umbrella of the Victor Smorgon Group.

Personal life
In 1937, he married Loti Smorgon in the East Melbourne Synagogue; they had four daughters: Sandra Smorgon Bardas, Ginny Smorgon Green, Vicki Smorgon Vidor and Bindy Smorgon Koadlow. Smorgon died in Melbourne, Australia, on 3 July 2009 aged 96.

Honours
Victor Smorgon was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1990 for service to art as a benefactor. Smorgon was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in 2007 for service to the community as a benefactor and supporter of a wide range of organisations, particularly in the areas of art, education and medicine.

An art release is the premiere of an artistic production and its presentation and marketing to the public.

Film

A film release is the authorization by the owner of a completed film to a public exhibition of the film. The exhibition may be in theatres or for home viewing. A film's release date and the method of release is part of the marketing of the film. It may be a wide or limited release.

The process may involve finding a film distributor. A film's marketing may involve the film being shown at a film festival or trade show to attract distributor attention and, if successful, may then be released through a chosen distributor.

Delayed release
A delayed release or late release in the film industry refers to the relatively late release of a film to the public. A release can be postponed due to the sometimes difficult transition of the production or post-production to the sales and distribution phase of the film production cycle. 
Due to several factors a film release can be delayed: 
Problems during post-production of an artistic nature.
Political problems regarding the film. 
Economic problems relating to limitations in the film budget. 
These problems can be resolved by overcoming artistic problems, making politically correct or commercially successful changes to the film/or relieving budgetary problems.

Music

In the music industry, a release usually is a creative output from an artist, available for sale or distribution; a broad term covering the many different formats music can be released in, and different forms of pieces (singles, albums, extended plays, etc.).

The word can also refer to the event at which an album or single is first offered for sale in record stores. Also an album launch, or single launch. 

Musical performers often self-release (self-publish) their recordings without the involvement of an established record label.  While some acts who enjoy local or small scale popularity have started their own labels in order to release their music through stores, others simply sell the music directly to customers, for example, making it available to those at their live concerts. With the growth of the Internet as a medium for publicizing and distributing music, many musical acts have sold their recordings over the Internet without a label.  Unlike self-publishing a novel, which is usually done only when no other options exist, even well-established musicians will choose to self-release recordings.
Music managers are increasingly getting involved in such releases and with the advent of artist management labels which have stepped in to save the situation. In Kenya, for example, most record labels only handle production, thus leading to a situation where records are marketed less. This has prompted music companies like Grosspool Music to sign independent artists and manage their branding, releases, and marketing.

Basidiodendron is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid, thin, effused and are typically found on fallen wood. The genus is widespread in both temperate and tropical regions and contains over 30 species.

Taxonomy
The genus was introduced for a single species by Brazilian mycologist Johannes Rick in 1938, but its modern interpretation was established by Canadian mycologist E. Robena Luck-Allen in 1963. She placed a number of species previously referred to Bourdotia into Basidiodendron based microscopically on their septate basidia, the presence of gloeocystidia, and the production of basidia on distinctive "involucrate" stalks.

Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has substantially supported Luck-Allen's circumscription of Basidiodendron, though the less typical, larger-spored species remain as yet unsequenced.
