Rocco Scotellaro (19 April 1923 – 15 December 1953) was an Italian poet, writer and politician.

Life and career 
Born in Tricarico, in the Province of Matera, the son of a shoemaker and a homemade seamstress, Scotellaro studied law at the Universities of Rome, Naples and Bari without graduating, as the early death of his father forced him to return to his hometown. In December 1943 he joined the Italian Socialist Party, and after having been part of the local department of National Liberation Committee in 1946 he became major of Tricarico. His tenure as major was inspired by the theories of vita activa by Hannah Arendt, and spent a great deal of effort in improving the living conditions of his fellow citizens. 

On 8 February 1950 Scotellaro was arrested for an alleged extortion; the subsequent trial acquitted him "for not having committed the fact and because the fact does not constitute an offence", and in their sentence the judges explicitly referred to the case as motivated by "a political vengeance", but as a consequence a then disillusioned Scotellaro left his office and his hometown. He then collaborated with the Agrarian Economics Observatory and with the Association for the Industrial Development of Southern Italy (SVIMEZ), studying various projects and reforms. 

Scotellaro suddenly died of a heart attack on 15 December 1953, at the age of 30. Almost all his literary works were published posthumously, and earned him critical acclaim as well as various prizes and awards, including the Viareggio Prize in 1954. His style belongs to New Realism, and Eugenio Montale described him as a "poeta contadino" ("peasant poet") and paired him to Sergei Yesenin and Attila József.

In popular culture
 Upon his death, poet Amelia Rosselli composed the heartfelt collection Cantilena (poesie per Rocco Scotellaro) (1953) in his memory.
 Luchino Visconti's 1960 film Rocco and His Brothers pays homage to Scotellaro in its title.
 In 1979, he was portrayed by Bruno Cirino in the Rai Due television film Rocco Scotellaro, which depicted his life.

Isidore Proulx (March 13, 1840 – July 28, 1904) was an Ontario farmer, merchant and political figure. He represented Prescott in the House of Commons of Canada, as a Liberal Party member from 1891 to 1904.

Proulx was born in Saint-Hermas, Lower Canada in 1840, and he served as clerk for Saint-Hermas for 20 years. In 1861, he married Philomène Lalande. Proulx ran unsuccessfully in the riding of Deux-Montagnes for a seat in the Quebec legislative assembly in 1874. He moved to Plantagenet, Ontario in 1881, where he was a justice of the peace and served five years as reeve for North Plantagenet Township. His first election in 1891 was declared invalid after an appeal but he won the subsequent by-election. After his death in office in 1904, his son Edmond was elected to replace him in the House of Commons.

The Kachhi Canal Project is a 499-km long canal project situated in the Balochistan and Punjab Provinces of Pakistan. It starts from Taunsa Barrage at Indus River and terminates in Balochistan. The canal provides sustainable irrigation water supply to 72,000 acres of agricultural land in Balochistan and 30,000 acres of land in Punjab. Cost of the project, after its revision is now Rs.80.5 billion. The water infrastructure and irrigated agriculture in Balochistan will achieve a landmark, when Kachhi Canal Project will be completed. The project was started in 2002, was almost abandoned due to grossly cost and time overrun for various reasons.  

The length of main canal is 399 km, out of which 305 km lies in Punjab region while  94 km are in Balochistan. Kachi Kanal project is divided into three phases.

Phase 1 comprises six sections totaling 399 km: (305 km Punjab, 94 Baluchistan):

 KC-1    -- 6 KM      -- Completed. 
 KC-2    -- 20 KM    -- Completed.
 KC-3    -- 6 KM      -- Completed.
 KC-4    -- 129 KM  -- Completed.
 KC-5    -- 144 KM  -- Completed.
 KC-6A  -- 49 KM    --  In Progress.  
 KC-6B  -- 45 KM    -- In Progress.  

Phase 2 comprises one section of 60 km in Baluchistan:
 
 KC-7    -- 60 KM      --  Not Started.

Phase 3 comprises one section of 40 km in Baluchistan:

 KC-8    -- 40 KM      -- Not Started.

Total System Length after completion of all phased will be 499 KM [399KM + 60KM+ 40 KM], Baluchistan would get 194 KM, and Punjab will get 304 KM of Kanal. 

The 399 kilometer long main canal (out of which 351 kilometers is lined) takes off from Taunsa Barrage in Muzaffar Garh district of Punjab province and ends at Dera Bugti district in Balochistan province. The discharge capacity of the main canal is 6000 cusecs. As many as 914 structures have been constructed at or over the main canal including head and cross regulators, road and railways bridges, cross drainage and escape structures and watercourse crossings etc.

Construction 
The project was inaugurated in October 2002 at Tausa Barrage. Completion of project is scheduled in 3 phases 
 Phase-I - in district Dera Bugti (will irrigate 102,000 acres)
 Phase-II - in district Bolan & Naseerabad (will irrigate 267,000 acres)
 Phase-III - in district Bolan, Naseerabad and Jhal Magsi (will irrigate 344,000 acres)
Several revised deadlines for completion of the project have been given in past but the project is not yet completed and work is ongoing at slow pace. Phase-I (Part A&B) was completed in August 2017 and inaugurated on September 14, 2017 by then Prime Minister Mr. Shahid Khaqan. When completed, 72,000 acres of virgin land will be irrigated.

Jalna is a 16-book series of novels by the Canadian writer Mazo de la Roche.

Jalna is the name of the fictional manor house in which the Whiteoak family lives. The name comes from Jalna, a city in west-central India, where there was a British garrison. In a prequel novel, the house is built by a retired officer of the British army who served in India. Jalna is partly based on Benares, a house in Mississauga, Canada. Benares was built in the late 1850s for a retired officer of the British army who had served in India, James B. Harris. It once occupied a larger estate, upon which de la Roche lived for a time. "Benares" is an alternate name of Varanasi, a city in India which had a British garrison.

The story 

Spanning 1854 to 1954, the Jalna series tells the story of the Whiteoak family who lived on a southern Ontario estate. The novels were not written in sequential order. Each can be read as an independent story.

There are similarities and as well as differences in the experiences of the Whiteoak family and de la Roche's. While the lives and successes of the Whiteoaks rise and fall, there remained for them the steadiness of the family manor, known as Jalna. De la Roche's family endured the illness of her mother, the perpetual job searches of her father, and the adoption of her orphaned cousin while being moved 17 times. Her family did work a farm for a few years for a wealthy man who owned the farm for a hobby. Several critics believe that Finch from Finch's Fortune (1932) is a reflection of de la Roche herself. The names of many of the characters were taken from gravestones in a Newmarket, Ontario cemetery.

Production
Jalna, first published in 1927, won the Atlantic Monthly Press's first $10,000 Atlantic Prize Novel award. De la Roche went on to write about the Whiteoak family for the next 30 years, establishing a place for herself in popular Canadian literature.  The Jalna series has been translated into many languages and was adapted for stage, radio, and television. John Cromwell directed the 1935 film adaptation, Jalna, released by RKO Radio Pictures. In 1972, the story was adapted for television and aired on the CBC as The Whiteoaks of Jalna.

By 1961, when de la Roche died, the series had sold more than eleven million copies in 193 English and 92 foreign editions.

Benedict Pictet (1655–1724) was a Genevan Reformed theologian.

Life
He was born at Geneva on 19 May 1655. After receiving a university education there, he made an extensive tour of Europe. He then assumed pastoral duties at Geneva, and in 1686 was appointed professor of theology. He died there on 10 January 1724, at the age of 68. Pictet was a nephew of Francis Turretin, who called him to "his bedside when dying, not his son," and Pictect preached his uncle's funeral sermon.

Works
In the area of systematic theology, Pictet published two major works:

Theologia Christiana (3 vols., Geneva, 1696; Eng. transl., Christian Theology, London, 1834, by Frederick Reyroux); and 
Morale chrétienne (2 vols., 1692).

He sought to revive the old orthodox theology, but was unable to prevent the Genevan Company of Pastors from adopting a new formula of subscription in 1706.

Pictet was also known as Christian poet, some of his hymns being included in French hymnals. Other works were Huit sermons sur L'examen des religions (3d ed., Geneva, 1716; Eng. transl., True and False Religion examined; the Christian Religion defended; and the Protestant Reformation vindicated, Edinburgh, 1797, by Archibald Bruce) and Dialogue entre un catholique et un protestant (1713; Eng. transl., Romanist Conversations, London, 1826 by Henry Huntingford).

Extase is a computer game developed by Cryo and published by Virgin Mastertronic.

Summary
It features some puzzles involving a sleeping female android that the player needed to wake up by cleaning its circuit. Each level represented a different level of emotion until the final extase (ecstasy). The gameplay mechanic is based on the "Brain Bowler" minigame in Purple Saturn Day, an 'alien sports' compilation created by the Cryo team under the name ERE and published by Epyx.

The music was designed by Stéphane Picq, and was co-credited to Philippe Eidel, and The Bulgarian Voices. It punctuated each action of the player or each event, becoming gradually richer until the level was finally completed.

Critical reception 
Ace Magazine wrote that the game was highly original, though noted it is one players would either love or hate. Amiga Format described the game as a "musical masterpiece" and "graphic extravaganza".

Legacy
The sleeping female android later became the mascot for Cryo Interactive, and appeared in their many logos.

Adrian Hall (December 3, 1927 – February 4, 2023) was an American theater director. His directing style was described as "bold" by the New York Times, and his work was considered part of the first and second generation of the regional theater movement of the 1960s and late 1980s.  He was the founding Artistic Director of the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island from 1963 to 1986, and the Artistic Director of Dallas Theater Center in Dallas, Texas from 1983 to 1989. He is considered to have created major and divisive change within both institutions.

Trinity Repertory Company 
In addition to his work producing plays at Trinity Repertory, Hall oversaw and participated in the Project Discovery program at Trinity Repertory, which introduced high school students to theater. Actress Viola Davis credits Hall's visit to her high school and the subsequent visits to the theater during Hall's tenure as what "changed her path."

Two of Hall's productions at Trinity Repertory Company were featured on the PBS series, Great Performances.

Personal life and death
Hall was born in Van, Texas, in 1927, and took an interest in theatre from an early age. After graduating high school early, he enrolled at East Texas State Teachers College (now Texas A&M University–Commerce) when he was sixteen, and graduated in 1949. He also spent six months during that time studying at the Pasadena Playhouse. After serving in the U.S. Army, he worked in New York for several years before beginning at Trinity.

Hall was a resident of Van at the time of his death. He died at a hospital in nearby Tyler, Texas, on February 4, 2023, at the age of 95.

Moonshine is the 28th album by trumpeter Dave Douglas. It was released on the Greenleaf label in 2007 and features a live performance recorded in a studio in front of an audience by Douglas, Adam Benjamin, DJ Olive, Gene Lake, Marcus Strickland, and Brad Jones.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "This is not 'jazz' in the conventional (read: conservative) sense, but without the jazz heritage, this creative tour de force of 21st century jazz-funk wouldn't -- and probably couldn't -- exist. Moonshine is a(nother) monster outing by Douglas". On All About Jazz John Kelman said "What makes Moonshine ultimately such a success, however, is Douglas' ability to cloak avant-garde concerns in accessible surroundings. As deep and challenging as anything he's ever recorded, Moonshine remains an album that's as much food for the heart and soul as it is for the mind, and continues Douglas' remarkably unbroken string of superb and uncompromising releases". In JazzTimes, Bill Milkowski wrote "Inspired by the unfinished 1917 Buster Keaton/Fatty Arbuckle comedy film Moon-shine, this collection of cutting edge, groove-oriented tunes by Douglas’s electrified, genre-bending Keystone band picks up where 2005’s Keystone left off".

In Athens, buildings are not allowed to surpass 12 floors so as not to block the view toward the Parthenon. Specifically up until 1968 the maximum allowed height of a building was 35 meters, but from 1985 until now it is 27 meters. There are several exceptions though, such as the Athens Towers, the Atrina center, and the OTE central building, all of which exceed that level. This is due to their either being built far away from the centre, or to the fact that they were constructed during periods of political instability. The city's tallest structure is the Athens Tower, reaching 103m and comprising 28 floors.

The list includes buildings above  in Athens area:

Candy Racer (Japanese: キャンディーレーサー Kyandii Reesaa) is the fifth studio album by Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, released on October 27, 2021, by Nippon Columbia and its imprint KRK Lab as her first album release on the label.

Background 
After completing promotions for her fourth studio album Japamyu in early 2019, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's contract with Warner Music Japan expired, leaving her as an independent artist. On May 10, 2019, she independently released the digital single "Kimi ga Iine Kuretara" through her agency Asobisystem's in-house label Asobimusic. It served as a theme song to the Japanese drama series Mukai no Bazuru Kazoku. The single was later re-released on vinyl in February 2020. Kyary then performed her next single "Kamaitachi" on her birthday live with her music producer Yasutaka Nakata on January 29, 2020. The song was released as a digital single on April 24, 2020, during the lockdowns brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Her supposed national tour Kamaitachi Tour 2020 was canceled because of the aforementioned pandemic.
In early January 2021, Asobisystem announced that Kyary has signed a recording contract with Japanese record label Nippon Columbia and has established her own imprint label KRK Lab as part of her tenth anniversary as a singer. She then released a new digital single titled "Gum Gum Girl" on January 29, 2021, which was her 28th birthday. On August 16, 2021, Kyary released a new digital single "Gentenkaihi". On September 10, 2021, the album release was announced. "Jumping Up" was released as a lead track from the album on September 29, 2021, followed by "Dodonpa" on October 13, 2021, with its accompanying lyric video. The music video for the title track was released on November 2, 2021, on YouTube.
