Mimi Khalvati (born 28 April 1944) is an Iranian-born British poet.

Life and career
She was born in Tehran, Iran on 28 April 1944. She grew up on the Isle of Wight and was educated in Switzerland at the University of Neuchâtel, and in London at the Drama Centre and the School of Oriental and African Studies.

She then worked as a theatre director in Tehran, translating from English into Persian and devising new plays, as well as co-founding the Theatre in Exile group.

She now lives in London Borough of Hackney, and is a Visiting Lecturer at Goldsmiths College and a director of the London Poetry School.

Khalvati was 47 when her first book was published in 1991. Its title, In White Ink, derives from the work of Hélène Cixous who claimed that women in the past have written "in white ink". Michael Schmidt observes that Khalvati is "formally a most resourceful poet".

Khalvati is the founder of The Poetry School, running poetry workshops and courses in London, and is co-editor of the school's first two anthologies of new writing: Tying the Song and Entering The Tapestry. She is also tutor at the Arvon Foundation, and has taught creative writing at universities and colleges in the United States of America and Britain.

Quotes
 "There is some poetry in the universe, in the world we live in. What poets do is to first be alive to it, and awake and receptive to it, and in love with it – I think it has a lot to do with love – and then have the wherewithal to translate that poetry that’s out there into poems, so, for me it’s an act of listening and of translating into heard and written language."

Jeremy Lane (April 29, 1893 - ) was an American writer of mystery and lost world short stories and novels. His stories appeared in pulp magazines including The All-Story Weekly, Top-Notch Magazine, The Smart Set and People's Favorite Magazine. His books, usually starring his detective hero Whitney Wheat, included Death To Drumbeat, Murder Menageries, Murder Spoils Everything, Kill Him Tonight, The Left Hand of God and Murder Has Bright Eyes. His novel, Yellow Men Sleep, was published by The Century Company in 1919.

Born Herman Dale Schuchert in Mishawaka, Indiana, on April 29, 1893, he took the pen name Jeremy Lane (and later legally changed his name to that) to avoid post-World War I anti-German backlash as he was beginning his musical and literary careers.

As “Jerry” Lane he also led a small dance band known as The Symphonic Step Stimulators which toured the Midwest from the early 1920s into the 1940s. In the 1950s and 1960s he was a reporter and feature writer for a local newspaper in New York State’s Mohawk Valley region.

With his wife Betty (née Bessie May Ross 1890-1945), he was part of the so-called “group” who studied in Chicago with Georges Gurdjieff, an Armenian Russian (1877-1949) who combined ideas from Eastern mysticism and religions with his own ideas about living a full and productive life.
 
His daughter Liela (1920-2014), known professionally as Lee Murray, was a popular radio/TV/cable personality in the Detroit, Michigan area from the mid-1960s through the 1980s.

Baakleen, Baaqlîne or Baakline () is a major Druze town located in Mount Lebanon, Chouf District, 45 kilometers southeast of Beirut. Altitude 850 – 920 meters high, population is 30,000, area 14 square km, number of homes 2,870. Bordering Towns: Deir El Qamar, Beit Eddine, Aynbal, Deir Dourit, Symkanieh, and Jahlieh.

History
Founded in the 12th century by the Maan emirs, Baakline served as their capital until the early 17th century when its most famous Emir Fakhreddin II, moved to Deir el Qamar. Today, Baakline is an important Druze town and seat of the sect's religious leader. The beautiful grand serail, the main administrative building of Baakline before World War II, has been restored and transformed into a public library. In the area of the Serail are some Druze religious buildings of the 18th and 19th centuries, including, ancient tombs and Ain Aldiaa water source.

The roots of Lebanon as we know it today go back to Baakline.  Around the year 1120 A.D., Amir Maan Ibn Rabeaah, the great grandfather of Amir Fakher Eddine Al Maani the second who established “Lubnan Al Kabeer”, settled in Baakleen. He was supported by his in-laws, the Tanoukhyeen. Amir Maan was married to the daughter of Amir Noaaman Al Tanoukhy. Historians agree that Baakleen was the capital of the Maani Emirate.

Due to water shortages in Baakline, the Maani Amirs were attracted to Neighboring Deir Al Kamar (according to Druze archives, called Dar Al Kamar), where they built many palaces and a mosque that still stands in the middle of the town square carrying the name of Amir Fakher Eddine Ibn Othman Ibn Al Hajj Younis Al Maani (1493 AD).
The last of the Maan family Amirs was Amir Ahmad who died in 1697 A.D. and with his death, the rulers of the Emirate became the Shihab family who were tied to the Maan family through intermarriages and alliances.

Under the Ottoman rule, Baakline came back to the forefront as one of the “Qasabat” or major towns. It served as the summer capital for the Druze “Qaem Makqam” or the local governor in the name of the Ottoman Sultan.

On 21 April 2020, nine people were killed.

Fawzi Franso Toma Hariri (born 1958 in Arbil, Iraq) is an Assyrian politician and former Iraq Minister of Industry.

Despite inaccurately being labeled as Kurdish throughout different media reports, Hariri is of Assyrian origin and son of the politician Franso Hariri (1937–2001). For 24 years, Fawzi lived in London where he was active in Assyrian, Kurdish, and Iraqi politics. He is a founding member of BNDP - Iraq, and a former member of the Assyrian National Congress (ANC) and the Assyrian Universal Alliance (AUA).

He was appointed Iraq's Minister of Industry and served from 2006-2010, after being elected in the December 2005 elections as a member of the Democratic Patriotic Alliance of Kurdistan. Prior to that, he was a Senior Diplomat and Chief of Staff of Iraq's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2003-2005). 

An attempt on his life in October 2006 killed three bodyguards and injured 11 others, though Mr. Hariri was not in the traveling convoy at the time of the explosions. The attack in Baghdad occurred in the Assyrian Quarter of Dora, where twin car bombs went off within minutes.

Dale Connelly (born 4 October 1955) was co-host (with Tom Keith, aka Jim Ed Poole) of The Morning Show on Minnesota Public Radio. The program was first carried on KSJN at frequency 91.1 (now KNOW-FM, later on KSJN at 99.5 and finally on KCMP 89.3 "The Current"; all in the Twin Cities and live on MPR's classical music network in outstate Minnesota. Connelly took over for Garrison Keillor, who was the original host along with Tom Keith. The show aired for more than 30 years. On October 15, 2008, Keith announced his intention to retire on December 11. The Morning Show was discontinued after a final live performance at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul that morning. After the demise of the Morning Show, Connelly began hosting, directing, and producing a show in a similar genre on an Internet broadcast and HD Radio called "Radio Heartland." He also hosted Saturday evening broadcasts of recorded performances on the Minnesota News service of Minnesota Public Radio. Those programs were canceled by MPR on June 4, 2010, and Connelly was laid off as of June 30, 2010.

He authored many scripts for "advertisements", skits, and soap operas performed on The Morning Show. Among his notable creations were "The Sherpa from Intimida", "A Mighty Big Car", and Genway, "the supermarket for genetically engineered foods." Genway produced things like the Bullwinkle Salmon ("part salmon, part moose") and Chameleon Pears.

Other Connelly creations included the "Bowserbed" vibrating sleeping mattress for dogs, "Yes,  I Am Wireless," Found Snacks ("makers of low-fat neutrinos. There's nothing to them! No fat,  no cholesterol, no calories—no substance and no mass!"), and reporters Brick Walters, Bud  Buck, and The Morning Show's "living and loving correspondent," B. Marty Barry. Connelly also created a regular cast of characters, including Nephew Thomas (the radio daredevil), Captain Billy and the crew of the Muskellunge and Dr. Harley Clumsy (the animal identifier).

In 1999 and 2000, Connelly wrote Dale Connelly Reporting, a satirical news show for Minnesota Public Radio that included features like  "Antiques Road Show," "Shouting Down School," and features on "Police and Courtroom Portrait Artists", "Low-Speed Internet Access," and "Lutheran Olympics". 

Since leaving MPR, Connelly has been writing a blog, Trail Baboon, on which he has continued creating characters and engaging readers with his observations. In June 2011, Connelly became news director for Minneapolis community radio station KFAI, where he had been a part-time producer. Press Release

Alberto Orrego Luco (20 April 1854 in Valparaíso – 2 June 1931 in Santiago) was a Chilean Impressionist landscape painter and diplomat.

Biography 
He was born to a family of wealthy farmers. His younger brother, Luis, also became a diplomat and was a popular novelist, among other achievements. He began his education at the English school of Mathews and Linacre. Later, due to economic problems, he was enrolled at the Instituto Nacional, where he began painting. He had his first showing in 1872, at a competition celebrating the establishment of the Mercado Central de Santiago, organized by Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna.

In 1873, with the support of his mother, he went to Europe, accompanied by his sister Elena and his future brother-in-law, Pedro Lira. Originally, it was intended that he would study medicine at the Sorbonne, but he chose to pursue painting instead and found a position in the workshops of Alexandre Cabanel, followed by studies at the Académie Julian.

His work was recognized by the Chilean government and he was granted a stipend that enabled him to participate in the Salon of 1877 and travel to Italy, where he remained for almost ten years, painting landscapes and cityscapes. He got married there in 1883 and, five years later, was appointed consul in Venice.

He returned to Chile in 1890 then, two years later, accepted an appointment as consul in Seville. During this period, his palette brightened and he added fruits and flowers to his canvases. Although he did not personally participate in exhibitions or competitions, his mother quietly made arrangements and he won several awards in Chile.

He returned to Chile for a few years then, in 1897, he was offered the position of Consul General for Italy, with his headquarters in Genoa. He had come to look upon Italy as a second home, so he gladly accepted, but discovered that his workload left little time for painting. 
By 1914, he was once again living in Rome. Despite the problems caused by World War I, he wanted to stay, but his wife became ill and could not be treated properly there, so they returned to Chile. The improved medical care was of no avail, however, and she died soon after. This, together with the premature death of one of his daughters, resulted in a severe depression that made him increasingly isolated and unsociable; a state of mind which is reflected in his works of that period.

He died peacefully at home, a virtual hermit, and was buried in the family vault next to his wife.

The Tipton Road cricket ground in Dudley, England was used for first-class cricket by Worcestershire CCC on 88 occasions between 1911 and 1971. The county also staged 14 List A games there between 1969 and 1977, all in the Sunday League, as well as a number of Second XI matches.

One match of the 1982 ICC Trophy was played at Tipton Road, but the game between East Africa and West Africa was abandoned without a result after East Africa had reached 53/2 from 25.1 overs.

On 25 May 1985, however, a 40-foot wide hole appeared on the cricket pitch, and Dudley council immediately closed the cricket pitch and the rest of the sports centre.

The whole complex remained derelict until the late 1990s, when construction of the first buildings on the Castle Gate leisure and commercial complex began.
