John Read (7 January 1923 – 26 July 2011) was a documentary film maker for the BBC from 1951 to 1983.

Biography
John Read was born in Purley in Surrey, England in 1923, to art critic Herbert Read and his wife, Evelyn (née Roff) Read.

The family moved to Scotland in 1931 when Herbert took up the position of Watson Gordon Professor of Fine Art at the University of Edinburgh. The marriage of Read's parents had been on shaky ground for several years, and they finally split in acrimonious and somewhat scandalous circumstances in 1933. Herbert Read moved to London while Evelyn and John remained in Edinburgh. As his mother became increasingly ill with a debilitating form of paranoia, John spent much of his youth in the city's cinemas, and his desire to become a film maker himself was apparent by the time he was 18 years old.

When he was called up for military service in 1941 his father tried unsuccessfully to get him a position in the RAF Film Unit, but managed to persuade filmmaker George Hollering to let John work as a camera assistant on his film Message of Canterbury, made for the British Council in 1942.

In 1948, John Read began working for the Scottish documentary maker John Grierson, who had been placed in charge of the Film Unit at the government's Central Office of Information. He then moved into the BBC, and in 1951 he directed the BBC's first ever film about a living artist, Henry Moore. This half-hour film followed the creation of Moore's sculpture Reclining Figure as it was made for the Festival of Britain. It was followed by 12 more films on contemporary artists for the BBC over the next six years, and in 1960 John began a pioneering series of films on artists called The Artists Speaks. This series was the first to allow artists to talk about their work directly on camera.

He remained a producer at the BBC until retirement in 1983. As fellow film maker Philip Bonham Carter has said of him: 'His films were truly about the artists and not about himself.' The motivation for this approach, Read said at his retirement, was simple: 'you've got to stand up for the imaginative world'.

Death
John Read died in London on 26 July 2011, aged 88.

Family
The writers Piers Paul Read and Ben Read are his half-brothers.

Tang Pao-yun (; 1944 – 14 May 1999) was a Taiwanese actress.

She was born in 1944, and attended an acting school run by the Central Motion Picture Corporation. After ending her studies in 1961, she appeared in her first films the next year. Tang was named best supporting actress at the 1962 Asian Film Festival, and won the same award at the  first Golden Horse Film Festival. Tang's role in Beautiful Duckling (1965) was considered a breakout performance. She would later co-star in other films alongside Ou Wei, namely Love is an Elusive Wind (1972). Soon after Beautiful Duckling, another film directed by Li Hsing and starring Tang was released, Four Loves (1965). Other notable credits included Orchids and My Love (1966), Remember Chu (1966), and Lonely 17 (1967). Later in her career, Tang appeared in Execution in Autumn (1972), Fists for Revenge (1974), and All the King's Men (1983).

Winnecke 4 (also known as Messier 40 or WNC 4) is an optical double star consisting of two unrelated stars in a northerly zone of the sky, Ursa Major.

The pair were discovered by Charles Messier in 1764 while he was searching for a nebula that had been reported in the area by Johannes Hevelius.  Not seeing any nebulae, Messier catalogued this apparent pair instead.  The pair were rediscovered by Friedrich August Theodor Winnecke in 1863, and included in the Winnecke Catalogue of Double Stars as number 4.  Burnham calls M40 "one of the few real mistakes in the Messier catalog," faulting Messier for including it when all he saw was a double star, not a nebula of any sort.

In 1991 the separation between the components was measured at 51.7″, an increase since 1764.  Data gathered by astronomers Brian Skiff (2001) and Richard L. Nugent (2002) strongly suggested the subject was merely an optical double star rather than a physically connected (binary) system.  The A star that seems the brighter is over twice as far as B.  Parallax measurements from the Gaia satellite show the two stars, HD 238107 and HD 238108, are at distances of  and  respectively.

Prost is a small chain of German beer bars in the United States. Prost is owned by Dan Hart and Chris Navarra.

Locations

As of 2021, the business operates in Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Boise, Idaho; and Bend, Oregon. 

The beer bar in north Portland is located on Mississippi Avenue in the Boise neighborhood. Stammtish has been described as a "sister restaurant" of the Portland location. The menu includes "traditional German dishes centered on the staples of bratwurst, sauerkraut, pickles, and German rye", as well as braunschweiger, Bavarian pretzel, and wurst.

Reception
In 2018, Pete Cottell of Thrillist included Prost in "The Beer Drinker's Ultimate Guide to Portland", writing: "Prost is a world-class German beer-lovers bar, and they've got the glassware, accoutrements, and beer selection to prove it. Lagers steeped in old-world tradition are the go-to for a sunny day on the back deck, but don't sleep on some of the Bavarian oddities that never hit it big with macro brewers. We humbly suggest a smoky rauchbier, a clean and crisp helles, or the subtly sweet tinge of a bananaweizen." The website's Emma Banks and Bradley Foster also included the restaurant in a 2022 list of "The Absolute Best Sports Bars in Seattle".

Binbrook is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the B1203 road, and  north-east from Market Rasen.

Previously a larger market town, it now has a population of about 700, rising to 892 at the Census 2011.

Binbrook Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Mary and St Gabriel. There were two village churches, St Mary and St Gabriel, since disappeared. A new church with joint dedication was built in 1869 by James Fowler.

Binbrook was the birthplace of the traditional singer Joseph Taylor, one of the Lincolnshire singers recorded by Percy Grainger.

Binbrook is close to the site of Binbrook Airfield, originally opened as RAF Binbrook; the airfield housing is now the new village of Brookenby.

The number of teams participating was also reduced from sixteen to twelve at the tournaments, with many of the top teams from the previous series not taking part.

The series was won by South Africa who won both tour events on their way to claiming their fourth World Series title.

Teams
The twelve national men's teams competing in the 2021 series were:

Core teams qualified from the previous season and not competing in 2021 were:
 Argentina, Australia, Fiji, France, Japan, New Zealand and Samoa, who did not travel due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 England, Scotland and Wales did not take part, being represented instead by Great Britain.

Tour venues
The official schedule for the 2021 World Rugby Sevens Series was:

On 4 August organisers announced the cancellation of the Hong Kong Sevens for the second year running because of the emerging Covid-19 Delta variant and global travel restrictions.

On 3 September, World Rugby cancelled the Singapore and Cape Town tournaments due to ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and announced that the 2021 Dubai Sevens tournament would no longer be part of the 2021 series but incorporated into the 2021-22 series instead.

Kunukkitta Kozhi () is a 1994 Indian Malayalam-language comedy-drama film directed by Viji Thampi and written by Kaloor Dennis, starring Jagadeesh, Siddique, Rupini and Parvathy. The songs were composed by Johnson.

Plot

Unnikrishnan is a street-smart jobless youth desperate to get a job. Once in a job interview, Swarnalatha outsmarts him to get the job by telling the manager that she is Unnikrishnan's wife and because of his irresponsible behaviour, they are in dire straits. The manager, who was earlier irritated by Unnikrishnan's interview, out of sympathy offers her the job. Unnikrishnan, meanwhile, learns of this and he demands half of her salary.

Meanwhile, Swarnalatha's close friend Indumathy and her husband Viswanathan are going through a rough patch financially and he is unable to repay the loans which he had taken. Circumstances lead Unnikrishnan to be mistaken for Viswanathan by the grandmother of Indumathy and invites him and her once banished granddaughter, who had eloped with Viswanathan, back to their ancestral home. To avoid traumatising her grandmother, Indumathy and Unnikrishnan act as husband and wife and Swarnalatha also stays with them. The arrival of Viswanathan too on the scene causes chaos and confusion, starting with him assaulting Unnikrishnan.

The Embassy of the United Kingdom in Beijing (or British Embassy, Beijing) is the chief diplomatic mission of the United Kingdom in the People's Republic of China. It is one of Britain's largest overseas embassies. It is located at 11 Guanghua Road, in the Chaoyang District. The current British Ambassador to China is Caroline Wilson.

History

The old British legation was established on 26 March 1861 in the former palace of Duke I-liang and Sir Frederick Bruce became the first “Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary” to Imperial China to reside in Beijing. Considering the place substandard, work began to find a replacement, and the legation was moved to "Leang-Koong-foo" (the Duke of Leang's palace) in 1866, where it would stay until 1959.

In 1959 the Chinese authorities required the British to vacate their location as they wanted to redevelop the land for use as the Supreme People's Court. In January 1959 the British were informed that "the centre of Peking was scheduled for reconstruction and that the area occupied by the British Legation was required for the site of a large new building for the Judicial Executive. The staff of the Legation was therefore requested to move out of their quarters by May 31st 1959”. In exchange for vacating their old premises in 1959, the Chinese authorities built and offered the British their current embassy and residence in the diplomatic district. The embassy consists of two two-storey houses set in walled gardens. Another reason was that the building was symbolic of the unequal treaties and the century of humiliation for many Chinese, so shifting to a new one would help shed that historical baggage.

During the Cultural Revolution and at the tail-end of the 1967 Hong Kong riots, the Red Guards stormed the premises, looted the Office of British Chargé d'Affaires (predecessor body of embassy) and burnt it on 23 August.

Other locations
The consular section is now too large to be accommodated in the embassy building (referred to locally as the 'main building'). It is now housed at the Kerry Centre, 1 kilometer away. Visa applications are handled at a centre shared with the Republic of Ireland at Chaoyangmen.

Outside Beijing, there are also British consulates general in Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chongqing and Shanghai where the senior officer is known as the consul-general. There is also a British consulate-general in Hong Kong (the largest British consulate-general in the world), responsible for maintaining British ties with Hong Kong and Macao. However, due to Hong Kong's unique status, the consul-general reports directly to the China Department of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, instead of going through the British ambassador in Beijing.

The Embassy also represents the British Overseas Territories in China.

John van Dongen (born December 13, 1949) is a Canadian politician who formerly served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, representing the riding of Abbotsford South. At one time, van Dongen was one of the longest serving BC Liberal MLAs in the BC Legislature. He was first elected in 1995 in a by-election and was re-elected in 1996, 2001, 2005, and 2009. On March 26, 2012, van Dongen announced he was leaving the BC Liberal Party to sit as the only BC Conservative Party MLA in the legislature. He competed in the May 2013 election running as an independent and lost to Darryl Plecas.

He has been involved in farm organizations and businesses for almost two decades. He was on the board of directors of the B.C. Dairy Foundation, Agrifoods International Co-operative (Dairyland), B.C. Federation of Dairymen's Association and a member of the Farm Debt Review Board. He was also chair of the building and finance committee of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Mission for several years.

On April 24, 2009, van Dongen announced that the BC Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, a department for which he is responsible in the Legislature, had suspended his driver's licence for a period of four months. In an interview with CBC Radio van Dongen said the suspension was a result of his being cited twice in one year for driving in excess of 41 km/h above the posted speed limit. Van Dongen featured prominently in anti-speeding advertising campaigns for the provincial government in recent years.  Three days later, van Dongen resigned as Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor-General.

After the 2009 provincial election, van Dongen was appointed Party Whip, and continued in his roles as Member of the Parliamentary Committee on Finance and Government Services, and Chair of the Caucus Committee on Government Restructuring. In 2010, he was appointed as the Chair of the Parliamentary Committee to Appoint a Chief Electoral Officer for BC.

On March 26, 2012, van Dongen crossed the floor of the Legislative Assembly to become the first BC Conservative Party Member of the Legislative Assembly. On September 22, 2012, he then announced he was resigning from the BC Conservative Party to sit as an independent.
