Journey to the West () is a 2021 Chinese film written and directed by Dashan Kong in his feature film debut. The English title is inspired by the 16th century Chinese literary classic of the same name. It had its world premiere at the 5th Pingyao International Film Festival in October 2021, with broader release in 2023.

Premise
For his entire life, purported UFO sightings have proven false, and TV static in his crumbling apartment has been devoid of any hidden transmissions. Nevertheless, aging Tang Zhijun continues to believe in aliens, doing odd jobs such as lecturing in psychiatric hospitals to be able to afford the publication of his small space-exploration magazine and rented office space in Beijing. After watching a mysterious video online from Sichuan, Tang heads to mountainous Southwestern China to investigate, accompanied by one of his cynical staffers, an alcoholic weatherman, and a woman with insomnia who happens to be the same age as his daughter. The group of misfits eventually meets an eccentric, young poet named Sun Yitong in a remote village who claims to have received instructions from aliens, and decides to follow him on a journey. This story is not one of the fabled Monkey King, but is about an ordinary man's continuous pursuit of UFOs and the human condition of chasing faded love.

Production 
The film was produced on a small budget, and combines genres of soft science fiction, comedy, mystery, and road movies to tell a reimagined story of the Chinese classic, Journey to the West, via a faux-documentary style that eventually gives way to dramatic storytelling.

Chinese sci-fi director Frant Gwo served as one of the film's executive producers, helped with its funding, and appears in a minor cameo role.

Release 
Following its premiere at the Pingyao International Film Festival, it also screened in at the Jeonju International Film Festival, Osaka Asian Film Festival, and International Film Festival Rotterdam the following year. The film was released theatrically to wider audiences in China on April 1, 2023, and had limited release in North America via the CineCina Film Festival on April 22, 2023.

Reception
The film won four awards at 5th Pingyao International Film Festival in 2021, including Best Film at the Fei Mu Awards, the Youth Jury Grand Award, Cinephilia Critics' Award, and People's Choice Award. It was the most popular film at the festival and was the first to see all its tickets sell out.

As of April 2023, the film is ranked as one of China's highest-rated sci-fi films with an 8.4 out of 10 score on Douban.

Antoine Touron (5 September 1686 – 2 September 1775) was a French Dominican biographer and historian.

He was born at Graulhet, Tarn, France, the son of a merchant, and seems to have joined the Dominicans at an early age. After the completion of his studies he taught philosophy and theology to the students of his province (Toulouse); but the later years of his life were devoted to biography, history, and apologetics.  He died at Paris.

He wrote twenty-nine books, dealing largely with the history of the Dominican order and the biographical sketches of its notable men. Père Mortier, in his Histoire des maîtres généraux de l'ordre des frères prêcheurs, made generous use of his Histoire des hommes illustres....

Touron's writings include:
 "Vie de saint Thomas d'Aquin" (considered his best work)
 "Vie de saint Dominique avec une hist. abrégée des ses premiers disciples"
 "Hist. des hommes illustres de l'ordre de saint Dominique"
 "De la providence, traité hist., dogmat. et mor."
 "La main de Dieu sur les incrédules, ou hist. abrégée des Israélites", a work in which he shows that as often as the Chosen People proved false to their Divine vocation, they were punished by God
 "Parallèle de l'incrédule et du vrai fidèle"
 "La vie et l'esprit de saint Charles Borromée"
 "La verité vengée en faveur de saint Thomas"
 "Hist. génerale de l'Amérique depuis sa découverte", an ecclesiastical history of the New World.

"Get" is the debut single and music video by American Jewish pop punk band The Groggers, taken from their debut album There's No 'I' in Cherem. It is also the group's first song recorded together; written by lead singer L.E. Doug Staiman before the band had formed, he decided to film a low-budget music video for the song using a pickup band, which would later become The Groggers.

Background
Staiman conceived of the song while working at a Jewish family law firm, where he often had to deal with couples caught in messy divorces.

Staiman wrote "Get" in 15 minutes while playing for a camp with Aryeh Kunstler. Having received positive feedback on his music from friends but believing it was too niche to go anywhere, Staiman decided to film a low-budget video for "Get" using pickup musicians, including friend and former Yeshiva University classmate Ari Friedman. After the video became a small viral hit, Staiman, Friedman, and the other musicians decided to form the Groggers.

Lyrical content
The song satirically addresses the issue of an agunah, a Jewish woman whose husband refuses to grant her a get, or Jewish divorce, effectively preventing her from marrying anyone else. In the song, Staiman encourages such a husband to admit his failings and give his wife the divorce ("You gotta get, get, get, get, give her a get/'Cause she don't love you no more"). Following its release, the song became a popular tool among agunah activists.

Music video
The video, directed by then-film student Farrell Goldsmith, was made for $30 and shot in one day. It was released on May 2, 2010; by early 2012, it had 115,000 views on YouTube, an uncommon feat for Jewish music videos.

The video depicts a man in a failing marriage being hounded by the band to grant her a divorce, even being tied to a chair.

Its first operation is at the Guadalupe Island on the southern Sea of Cortez, Mexico. Its first operation is called Operation Divina Guadalupe VI and study the Cuvier's beaked whale.

History
The ship was built in 1944 for the US Navy and served in World War II in Pearl Harbor delivering ammunition to naval vessels. She was acquired by the US Coast Guard in 1946 serving on the Alaskan coastline until the 1970s. The vessel was later relocated to Mississippi as a buoy tender until her retirement from the Coast Guard in 1998. The vessel was purchased by Benoit Vulliet for oceanographic research, and years later, he donated it to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

In late 2021 because of age Sea Shepherd had the vessel decommissioned and scrapped in Mexico. Sea Shepherd plans to acquire a new vessel in 2022 to replace it on its Central America patrols.

Charles François Hutin (4 July 1715 – 29 July 1776) was a French history and figure painter, engraver and sculptor. He became director of the Royal Academy of Arts in Dresden.

Life and work
Hutin was born in Paris in 1715. He studied painting under Francois Le Moine, and in his twenty-first year obtained the grand prize for historical painting, and went to Rome, where he spent seven years. There he studied sculpture with René-Michel Slodtz.

After his return to Paris in 1746, he was received into the Royal Academy. To gain admission he executed a sculpture as his presentation piece ("morceau de reception") and this attracted the attention of the Elector of Saxony, who invited him to come to Dresden in 1748; he went there with his brother Pierre Hutin. There, he made copies of the paintings in the gallery which were published in two volumes called Dresden Gallery (1753–57); his brother, Pierre, also contributed some drawings. The plates for this publication were engraved in Paris between 1750 and 1756 and over 20 engravers contributed.

In 1764, he became director of the Dresden Royal Academy of Arts. He executed an altar painting of the crucifixion in the Katholische Hofkirche in Dresden, and, in one of the chapels behind the main altar, a fresco ceiling.

He published his graphic works in 35 plates under the title Recueil de différents sujets composés et gravés par Charles Hutin à Dresden in Dresden in 1763.

Hutin died in Dresden on 29 July 1776.

A comb grave is a type of grave that features two slabs of rock, sandstone or sheet metal that form an empty inverted v-shape, or comb, over the length of the grave. They are also referred to as tent graves, as the slabs of rock resemble a camping tent. Comb graves may also have triangular end stones or iron rods to support the slabs, and sometimes do not have a headstone nor an inscription.

Origin

The exact origin of comb graves is unknown. According to oral tradition, the graves were first built in the 1800s to deter grave robbers and to protect sunken graves from being exposed to the surface. It also may have been a purely stylistic choice that became popular in the region. The oldest comb graves were made in the 1820s, with the practice surviving in Overton County, Tennessee until the 1960s.

Geography
Comb graves are unique to the Southern United States and have been found in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. They are most often found in cemeteries along the Cumberland River in Tennessee, where the practice may have originated. There are an estimated 3,000 comb graves in the Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau regions in Tennessee, with hundreds to the north near Kentucky and hundreds more spread around northern Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia.

The Piping Live! Festival (a.k.a. Piping Hot Festival) is an annual bagpiping event held in Glasgow by the National Piping Centre. The festival was created in 2003 and occurs on the run-up to the World Pipe Band Championships. It is estimated that the festival alone adds £12 million to Scotland's tourism revenue and it is the largest bagpipe festival in the world.

The festival is always opened with performances in the Royal Concert Hall by musicians including The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland. The festival itself consists of over 150 individual events including free classes, concerts and ceilidhs throughout the week. The festival also has its own "Canada Day" to celebrate the multitude of Canadian Grade I bands who participate in the Championships. The Piping Centre also produces and releases albums around the festival, such as Seudan by the band of the same name in 2011.

The festival won Event of The Year at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards in 2008 and in 2010 Eve Muirhead was named the festival's ambassador in an effort to reach out to a younger audience. The event is directed by Roddy MacLeod.

Rayne is a village of about 2,300 residents in the Braintree district of Essex in the East of England.

It lies on the Roman road called Stane Street, about two miles (3 km) to the west of Braintree, which is the nearest town.

It used to be a more important settlement than Braintree in Norman times, although this has not been the case for a long time now.

Rayne has a playing field, a pub called The Swan, a village hall that overlooks the playing field, All Saints' church, a war memorial, a stream called Pod's Brook, and a small airfield. There are also the old manor house of Rayne Hall, and Old Hall; a previous Rectory. Rayne Hall was for a long time the home of the Capel family, who became Earls of Essex.  In mediaeval times, the Church was known for healing miracles: it was said that infertile women visiting the church were later able to conceive.  A number of the churchyard memorials are made of cast iron: these were manufactured at the former foundry in The Street at around the end of the nineteenth century using a common mould into which individual letters were inserted to spell out the details.

The church building consists of the Tudor tower, built in 1510, a Nave (an 1840 construction, replacing a Norman building from 1199 and said to be unsafe) and a Sanctuary and Vestry, added in 1914.  The earliest recorded Rector is Ralph de Fremingham, from 1260.

Further west along the main road ("The Street"), there are: an Indian restaurant, another pub, the Welsh Princess, the site of the former Rayne Iron foundry (redeveloped for housing and offices in 2009), the Post Office stores, and what was a pub called The Cock, now renovated and operating as a bar and restaurant called 47 The Street. The road leads to the town of Great Dunmow.

Station Road leads down to the former Rayne railway station, which is now the Rayne Station Centre of the Flitch Way Country Park, a linear park stretching along the former trackbed of the railway. This is also now National Cycle Network route No. 16.

Rayne, which is located about  north-east of London, is twinned with Verberie which is about  north-east of Paris in the French region of Picardy, which coincidentally is twinned with the County of Essex.

On 12 July 2006, Rayne was named Essex Village of the Year, in a competition organised annually by Rural Community Council of Essex (RCCE) and sponsored by Calor. Rayne also won first, the regional, and then national, Calor Village of the Year Competition 2006/7 in the ITC Category.
