A transformational festival is a counterculture festival that espouses a community-building ethic, and a value system that celebrates life, personal growth, social responsibility, healthy living, and creative expression. Transformational alludes both to personal transformation (self-realization) and steering the transformation of culture toward sustainability. Some transformational festivals resemble music festivals, but are distinguished by such features as seminars, classes, drum circles, ceremonies, installation art (or other visual art), the availability of whole food and bodywork, and a Leave No Trace policy. Transformational festivals are held outdoors, often in remote locations, and are co-created by the participants. The events are psychedelic inspired, involving visionary art, speakers on topics of entheogenic substances, as well as audio and visual entertainment intended to amplify psychedelic experiences.

Transformational festivals exhibit features commonly found in cults and new religious movements. The events are characterized by heightened transpersonalism, collective ecstasis, utopian narratives, and community allegiance. They attract the atypical attendance of a social class characterized by expendable amounts of financial and temporal wealth. Their charismatic deployment of spiritual and entheogenic information emboldened by on-site ecstatic experience closely parallels religious revivals. Attendees may disengage conservative social norms and identify as an "evolved culture"—a worldview influenced by millenarian archetypes of planetary transcendence, and the evolution of consciousness.

Some examples of transformational festivals are Boom Festival in Portugal, Fusion Festival in Germany, Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis Gathering, and Lucidity in the United States, and Yaga Gathering in Lithuania. The prototypical transformational festival is Burning Man.

At TEDxVancouver 2010, filmmaker Jeet-Kei Leung presented a TED Talk about transformational festivals, and discussed their similarities to pagan festivals. Less than a year after a successful Kickstarter campaign, Jeet-Kei Leung and Akira Chan screened the first installment of their four-part documentary film series, The Bloom: A Journey Through Transformational Festivals (2013).

A.C. Johner's documentary Electronic Awakening (2012) investigates the emergence and origins of the festivals.

Jan Baptist de Crépu or Jean Baptiste de Crépu (before 1640 – before 17 June 1689) was a Walloon officer in the Spanish service and a flower painter who after retiring from military service operated a workshop in Antwerp. He trained the flower painters Simon Hardimé and Jan Baptist Bosschaert.

Life
Details about de Crépu's origins are not entirely clear.  He was of Walloon descent and initially had a career as an officer in the Spanish service.  Only at the age of about 40 did he decide to become a painter. He settled in Antwerp where he likely trained.  He was registered as a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in the guild year 1684–1685.

In 1685 he received Jan Baptist Bosschaert as an apprentice. Bosschaert also lived in de Crépu's house during his apprenticeship. Another pupil of de Crépu who started studying under de Crépu in late 1685 was the flower painter Simon Hardimé.  The early biographer Jacob Campo Weyerman claims that he also knew de Crépu and admired his work.

Before becoming a master painter de Crépu had married on 31 December 1682 in Antwerp Maria Anna Pauli or Pauwels. His wife was the daughter of the miniature painter Andries Pauli the Younger, who had become a master in the Antwerp Guild in the guild year 1654–1655.  The couple had one son and one daughter.

De Crépu later fled his creditors and moved to Brussels where he died.

He died before 17 June 1689, the date on which his widow declared before the Antwerp magistrate that she was a widow.

Works
De Crépu was known for his still lifes of flowers painted from nature.  While he seems to have been respected in his lifetime and trained two successful flower painters, only one signed work of him has been preserved.  The work is the Bouquet of Flowers in a Glass Vase With Butterflies and a Small Caterpillar On a Stone Plinth (at Koller Auktionen Zurich on 22 September 2017, lot 3041).  It is close in style to that of the Antwerp flower painters Nicolaes van Verendael and Jan Philip van Thielen.  Some art historians also see in this work the influence of Jan Davidsz. de Heem who worked for a long time in Antwerp.

A  few large-scale flower still lifes by de Crépu were auctioned on 15 May 1741 at an Antwerp auction.  He is known to have collaborated with other painters in Antwerp including the Antwerp figure painter Peter Ykens.

Los Angeles Plays Itself is a video essay by Thom Andersen, finished in 2003, exploring the way Los Angeles has been presented in movies. Consisting almost entirely of clips from other films with narration, the film was not initially released commercially as it was only seen in screenings presented by Andersen, occasional presentations at American Cinematheque and copies distributed via filesharing and other person-to-person methods. In 2014, it was announced that the film would finally be released officially by Cinema Guild.

Inspiration
Andersen stated that the film idea occurred to him after a lecture he gave at the California Institute of the Arts, where he talked about his objections to L.A. Confidential, the 1997 Curtis Hanson film adapted from James Ellroy's novel.

Synopsis
In the film, Andersen argues that the influence of Hollywood overshadows Los Angeles and is one of the reasons the city's name is frequently abbreviated. He makes the case that directors have a distaste for modernist architecture, which is regularly used for villains' homes.

The documentary also explores the early history of Los Angeles in film, often as a stand in for other cities like Chicago that were bigger in the 1930s, as well as how cinema managed to capture long-gone immigrant enclaves that were razed to make room for downtown skyscrapers in the 1960s and 70s.

Reception 
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 96% based on 45 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A treat for cinephiles, this documentary is a comprehensive, academic, and enlightening film essay concerning Los Angeles and its depiction in the movies." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 86 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".

Robert Koehler of Variety wrote: "Los Angeles may be the most photographed city in the world, but it has never have been captured with such complex layers of meaning and fascination as in Thom Andersen's remarkable Los Angeles Plays Itself."
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called it "A terrific cinematic essay that will have a very, very long shelf life."

The film won the National Film Board Award for Best Documentary at the 2003 Vancouver International Film Festival and was voted best documentary of 2004 by the Village Voice Critic's Poll.

Alfred Alexander (7 March 188015 May 1950) was a German physician who served as President of the Berlin Association of Doctors during the 1930s.  He was a leading researcher into the cure for leukaemia.  One of his patients was Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick.  In 1935 he and his family fled Nazi Germany to England, where he established a medical practice, with a clinic in Harley Street.  He died in 1950.

Alfred Alexander was married to Henny Alexander and had four children: Bella Jakobi, Elsie Harding, Hanns Alexander and Paul Alexander, all of whom lived in England after leaving Nazi Germany.  He was awarded the Iron Cross for his medical service at Saverne during World War I.

For his 50th birthday party, he received regards from the glitterati of Berlin, including scientist Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize winner James Franck, artists Rudolf Grossman, Hans Purrmann and Emil Hertz, writers Leonhard Frank, Rudolf Kayser, Alfred Polgar, Walter Hasenclever and Jozsef Lengyel, and a large group of actors, dancers, singers and musicians.

As father to the war crimes investigator Hanns Alexander, Alfred Alexander is featured in Hanns and Rudolf, a dual biography by Thomas Harding (Grandson of his daughter Elsie).

Acronicta strigosa, the marsh dagger, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed through most of Europe, east to the Caucasus, northern China, Korea and Japan.

Technical description and variation

A. strigosa F. (= favillacea Esp.) (3e). Forewing pale grey, tinged with ochreous; base of inner margin yellow: reniform stigma externally yellowish; a broken black streak along submedian fold. Larva velvety green, with broad redbrown dorsal band; hairs scattered and fine; dorsum humped on segment 12; like the larva of Cerura , which it resembles superficially in colour and ornamentation, it changes from green to dull purplish before spinning up; fullfed in autumn; on hawthorn, which is its only foodplant in Britain, though continental writers give sloe and Rhamnus. — ab. bryophiloides Horm. (— casparii Steinert) (3 e) is a smaller form with the forewings wholly dark grey. -- Japanese specimens are considerably larger than European and much darker; the stigmata more strongly indicated, and the black dashes thicker; they may be distinguished as adaucta subsp. nov. (3e). The wingspan is approximately 32 mm. The caterpillars appear in two colour variants, either green with a brown back or completely brown. They have few short, fine hairs. The slender pupa is light brown colored. The cremaster is short and equipped with thorns.

Biology
A. strigosa is found in floodplain forests as well as stream and river valleys with high humidity, and in moderately warm climates. In the Alps, they do not rise above 1200 metres. 
The adults fly in June and July. They are attracted to light.

The larvae feed mainly on hawthorn and sometimes blackthorn.

Notes
The flight season refers to the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range.

The Bucksport Branch is a railroad line in Maine that was operated by the Maine Central Railroad. It is now part of the Pan Am Railways system.

The Bucksport Branch junctions with the mainline at Bangor and continues south down the Penobscot River valley, passing through Brewer and terminating at Bucksport.

This  branch was chartered in 1873 as the Bucksport and Bangor Railroad after its grade had been surveyed in the autumn of 1872.  Construction of the line began in the spring of 1873 with trains beginning to run regularly over its whole length on December 21, 1874.  The company was reorganized as the Eastern Maine Shoreline Railway in 1882, and leased as the Maine Central Bucksport branch in 1883.  The last passenger train from Bangor to Bucksport ran on 27 January 1932.  In the latter decades of Maine Central operation, two freight trains per day were typically pulled by a cab-to-cab pair of Maine Central's EMD SW7s and SW9s until the locomotives were assigned elsewhere in the Guilford system.
The paper mill at the end of the Bucksport Branch has been the primary customer of the line for many years and with its shutdown by mill owner Verso Paper Corporation  The rail traffic on the line will diminish until another large customer can be found. The last rail car removal was on December 11, 2014. The train consist was GMTX 3005 and MEC 374, pulling sixteen tank cars and three boxcars.

Route mileposts
 Milepost 0: Bangor.
 Milepost 1.2: Brewer Junction with the former Calais Branch.
 Milepost 9.4: South Orrington chemical plant originating or terminating 2,000 annual carloads in 1973.

Laissez Faire Books (LFB) was an online bookseller originally based in New York City when it first opened in 1972.

From 1982 until 2007, Laissez Faire Books operated as a division of two separate non-profit corporations, the Center for Independent Thought from 1982 to 2004, and the Center for Libertarian Thought from 2005 to 2007. In November 2007, the bookstore's ownership was transferred to the International Society for Individual Liberty. In March 2011, Agora Financial acquired Laissez Faire Books, but changed its purpose.

History
Laissez Faire Books was founded in New York City in 1972 by John Muller and Sharon Presley. Muller, a civil engineer, came up with the idea of Laissez Faire Books. Muller found the location for the Laissez Faire Bookstore and Art Gallery on Mercer Street in Greenwich Village, New York City, late in 1971. With Presley, a graduate student in psychology at CUNY Graduate Center, Muller mailed their first flyer to about a thousand people whose names they had compiled from their contacts around the country. The official opening occurred on March 4, 1972 and was attended by local libertarian writers and thinkers including Murray Rothbard, Roy A. Childs Jr., and Jerome Tuccille.

From 1982 to 2005, LFB was headed by Andrea Millen Rich, who with her husband Howard Rich also developed its mail-order business.

In Radicals for Capitalism, a history of the libertarian movement, Brian Doherty writes "The store became an important social center for the movement in America's largest city, a place for any traveling libertarian to stop for company and succor..."

On March 17, 2011, Agora Financial, LLC, a publisher of books and newsletters on economics and investments, announced that it had acquired Laissez Faire Books from the International Society for Individual Liberty (ISIL). By 2017, however, the LFB.org site was no longer offering books for sale.

Laissez Faire Books' archival records ("correspondence, memoranda, financial records, catalogs, other printed matter, and photographs, relating to libertarianism and publishing in the United States") for the period 1959-2008 are stored at the Hoover Institution Library at Stanford University.

Fox & Wilkes Books
Laissez Faire Books used to have a separate book-publishing arm: Fox & Wilkes Books, named after two eighteenth-century British classical liberals, Charles James Fox and John Wilkes. Fox & Wilkes published the works of contemporary libertarian authors and reissued classic libertarian books that were out of print.
