When the Fern Blooms () is a folk opera by Ukrainian composer Yevhen Stankovych. It has three acts and was written in the mid-1970s. It was first performed on stage in 2011. The opera was also performed on December 15, 2017, at the Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The libretto of the opera was primarily inspired by the works of Nikolai Gogol, national traditions and folklore, folk ceremonies, and epic poems.

History 
The opera When the Fern Blooms was written on request of the French concert company "Alitepa" for the worldwide exhibition in Paris in 1978. The premiere of the opera in Ukraine was going to be performed at the Palace "Ukraine", and French representatives were invited to visit. However, the premiere of the opera was banned by the Soviet government. During the rehearsals the Soviet statesman Mikhail Suslov sent a letter from Moscow with orders to prohibit the performance. Decorations and costumes for the production were destroyed.

Despite the overthrow of the Soviet regime in the 1990s and significant public interest in this work, the opera was not performed in full for a long time. Some parts of the opera were performed by the Kyiv Chamber Choir and by the National Folk Choir of Ukraine named after Gregory Veryovka.

The premiere of the opera in a concert performance took place on April 8, 2011 – 33 years after its creation. The concert version was performed by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine and Folk Choir of Veryovka under the guidance of  at the National Philharmonic of Ukraine.

The premiere of a fully staged version was held at the Lviv National Opera in December 2017. More than 400 participants were involved in the production. The choir consisted of 80 artists. According to Vasyl Vovkun, this staging of the opera was held in honour of artist Eugene Lysyk, who was the scenographer of the banned production from the 1970s. Now this production has become a constant repertoire of the theatre.

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Nina Matviyenko's performance of Yevhen Stankovych’s opera-ballet When the Fern Blooms, which had originally premiered in 2017 and stated as 'banned' during the Soviet era, live-streamed by the Lviv National Opera was re-released online.

Vajira Srimathi Dissanayake (; 1943 – 29 March 2019) was a Sri Lankan lawyer, politician and 1994 UNP presidential candidate.

Early life and family
Dissanayake was born in 1943. She was the daughter of Piyasena Lenaduwa from Galle in southern Ceylon. She was educated at  Ladies' College, Colombo.

After school Dissanayake joined Ceylon Law College where she met her future husband Gamini Dissanayake. They had two sons, Navin and Mayantha, both of whom are Members of Parliament, and a daughter, Varuni.

Career
Dissanayake was a lawyer by profession and was a member of the Central Provincial Council. Her husband Gamini Dissanayake, who was the Leader of the Opposition, was chosen by the United National Party to be its candidate at the 1994 presidential election. However, he was killed in a suicide bombing on 24 October 1994, sixteen days before the election. The UNP, hoping to capitalise on the sympathy vote, chose Srima Dissanayake over former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and former first lady Hema Premadasa to be Gamini Dissanayake’s replacement. However, many UNP officials refused to campaign for Srima Dissanayake who, for security reasons, campaigned through the media only. Dissanayake was heavily defeated by Prime Minister Chandrika Kumaratunga who swept the polls, winning in all but one of the 160 polling divisions. Dissanayake received 2,715,283 votes (35.91%), the lowest share for a major party candidate in any Sri Lankan presidential election.

Dissanayake left politics afterwards and devoted herself to her family, the Gamini Dissanayake Foundation and the Gamini Dissanayake Institute of Technology and Vocational Studies.

Dissanayake died at a private hospital in Colombo on 29 March 2019.

State Route 200 (SR 200) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. The state highway runs  from SR 3 in White Stone north to U.S. Route 360 (US 360) at Burgess. SR 200 is the main north–south highway of the eastern end of the Northern Neck. The state highway connects the Lancaster County towns of White Stone, Irvington, and Kilmarnock, where the highway intersects SR 3 again, with eastern Northumberland County.

Route description

SR 200 begins at an intersection with SR 3 (Rappahannock Drive) in the town of White Stone. The state highway heads west as Chesapeake Drive, which becomes Irvington Road on leaving the town. SR 200 crosses the Eastern Branch of Carter Creek into the town of Irvington, where the highway curves north. The state highway leaves the town and passes through the hamlet of Pitmans Corner, the site of historic Christ Church. North of Pitmans Corner, SR 200 meets the northern end of SR 222 (Weems Road) and veers northeast to the town of Kilmarnock. In the center of town, the state highway briefly runs concurrently with SR 3 (Main Street).

SR 200 continues north along Church Street and roughly follows the height of land between the direct Chesapeake Bay drainage on the east and the watershed of the Corrotoman River, a tributary of the Rappahannock River, on the west; the drainage boundary also forms the boundary between Lancaster and Northumberland counties. Three blocks north of SR 3, the state highway runs on top of the county line to the northern edge of Kilmarnock, where the highway has two stretches where it veers west of the county boundary. At the hamlet of Good Luck, SR 200 fully enters Northumberland County for the first time and the route's name becomes Jessie DuPont Memorial Highway, named for the 20th century philanthropist Jessie Ball duPont. South of Mount Olive, the state highway briefly re-enters Lancaster County before returning to Northumberland County for good. SR 200 passes through the village of Wicomico Church and crosses the Great Wicomico River between Tipers and Blackwells. The state highway reaches its northern terminus at US 360 (Northumberland Highway) in the village of Burgess.

Defensive termination is a form of implicit cross licensing of patent or other intellectual property rights.  Consider a case where company A licenses patent A to company B.  One of the conditions of the license agreement is that if company B should ever sue company A for infringing one of company B's own patents, such as patent B, then Company A can terminate the license to patent A.  Thus company A would be able to counter sue company B for infringing patent A.  This is a strong incentive to prevent company B from suing company A for any future patent it might receive after it has licensed patent A.

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development, for example, has a defensive termination clause built into its "Eco-Patent Commons". The Apache 2.0 License also includes a defensive termination clause.

William Sandys (1792 – 18 February 1874) (pronounced "Sands") was an English solicitor, member of the Percy Society, fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and remembered for his publication Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern (London, Richard Beckley, 1833), a collection of seasonal carols that Sandys had gathered and also apparently improvised.

Collection
Sandys' book marked the first appearances of many now-classic English carols, including "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen", and "The First Noel", and contributed to the mid-Victorian revival of the holiday. Sandys presented his collections in three parts. The first part "Containing Ancient Carols and Christmas Songs, From the Early Part of the Fifteenth to The End of the Seventeenth Century" contains examples in Middle English and Early Modern English.

The second part of Sandys' collection contains "A Selection From Carols Still Used In The West Of England" which Sandys claimed to have selected "from upwards of one hundred obtained in different parts of the West of Cornwall, many of which, including those now published, are still in use. Some few of them are printed occasionally in the country, and also in London, Birmingham, and other places, as broadside carols; others have appeared, with some variation, in Mr. Gilbert's collection, having been derived from similar sources; but a large portion, including some of the most curious, have, I believe, never been printed before."

Among the carols that made their first appearance here are the classics "The First Noel", "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen", "I Saw Three Ships", "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". Some have the traditional forms of carols. Others are recognizably composed. In the current atmosphere of "Merry England" that included the revival of Christmas that was signalled by Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (1843), they all quickly developed their present reputations for being sixteenth century or earlier.

A third part offered "Specimens of French Provincial Carols."

Sandys repeated his success with Christmas-tide, Its History, Festivities and Carols, With Their Music (London: John Russell Smith, 1852), where he reprinted many of his finds.

Jerusalem was first a suburban estate and then a quarter of Königsberg, Germany, located southeast of the city center. Its territory is now part of the Moskovsky District of Kaliningrad, Russia.

Jerusalem, named after the ancient city, was founded by the Teutonic Knights as a village along the Alter Pregel River. The vicinity was also once known as the Heiligengeistesfeld (Holy Ghost Field). Heinrich Reuß von Plauen established a semi-circular sconce with trenches to protect the estate in the 15th century. The estate was in the possession of Löbenicht's hospital during the 16th century.

Development of Jerusalem intensified during the 1920s. The village and estate were incorporated into the city of Königsberg in 1928. Nearby suburban quarters were Rosenau to the west, Seligenfeld to the south, and Adlig Neuendorf to the east.
