Mach Pelican were a punk rock band of Japanese origin formed in Perth, Australia in 1996. In 1998, they relocated to Melbourne, Australia. They announced their farewell tour in July 2007, and played their final show in Tokyo, Japan on 17 September 2007.

Biography
The band was formed by three Japanese students who were studying English in Perth in 1996. After touring extensively, Mach Pelican moved to Melbourne in 1998.

In eleven years, Mach Pelican played 800 shows, touring with bands such as The Buzzcocks, Radio Birdman, Rancid, The Hard Ons, Butthole Surfers, Guitar Wolf, Supersnazz, The Donnas, You Am I, The Spazzys and The Porkers.

2006 was a significant year for the three musicians with their 10-year anniversary, release of their third studio album Radio Action on newly formed label Bop Records, touring Japan, as well as their frequent coast-to-coast shows across Australia.

Mach Pelican opened the 2006 Falls Festival in Lorne to a crowd of over 15,000 attendees. The band also played at half time in the 2007 Community Cup in St Kilda to a crowd of over 20,000 spectators.

The band's split in 2007 was a result of personal differences and immigration problems.

On 17 May 2009 they re-formed for a one-off performance at the Tote Hotel as a support for The Gimmes.

On 10 April 2011 the band reformed and played at a benefit concert for victims of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami at the Esplanade Hotel in St Kilda.

The band announced a one-off gig for 7 June 2019 at the Prince Hotel in St Kilda supporting Area 7 and The Porkers.

The Novgorod electoral district () was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Novgorod Governorate. Eight seats in the Constituent Assembly were assigned to the Novgorod constituency.

Whilst Novgorod was an agrarian province, the Bolsheviks obtained a good vote. This might have been due to the fact that many inhabitants were accustomed to perform seasonal work in nearby Petrograd. 4 local peasants lists did not qualify to run in the election.

The minister of small business () is a minister of the Crown in the Canadian Cabinet.

History 
Before 2015, the Cabinet position responsible for small business was filled by either a Minister of State or Secretary of State. On November 4, 2015, upon the formation of the 29th Canadian Ministry, the position was named Minister of Small Business and Tourism without "of State" but remained formally a Minister of State "to assist the Minister of Industry" (the senior portfolio now styled as the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development).

Following the 2019 election, responsibility for small business was given to the newly created Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, before eventually becoming its own post once again in 2023.

The Teachers of Gurdjieff is a book by Rafael Lefort that describes a journey to the Middle East and central Asia in search of the sources of G. I. Gurdjieff's teaching, and culminates in the author's own spiritual awakening, by meeting and "opening" to the teachings of the Naqshbandi Sufis. The author's search finally leads him to the Sarmoun monastery in Northern Afghanistan where Gurdjieff had been previously taught.

The authors of the Handbook of Islamic Sects and Movements, Muhammad Afzal Upal and Carole M. Cusack consider the book to be a product of the Sufi school associated with Idries Shah and his brother Omar Ali-Shah, and cast doubt on its authenticity. While Upal and Cusack speculate that the "polemic" writing style could be that of Omar Ali-Shah, British historian Mark Sedgwick believes that Rafael Lefort is "almost certainly a pseudonym for Idries Shah." Speaking at the First International Conference on Theosophical History held in London on 18–20 July 1986, Paul Johnson added to the speculation that The Teachers of Gurdjieff was the work of Idries Shah, and that it "seems to have been written to attract Gurdjieff's followers to contemporary Sufism." The Gurdjieff biographer James Moore describes the book as a "distasteful fabrication".

The book first appeared in 1966 from the British publishing house Victor Gollancz. A second edition was published in 1998 by Malor Books under the editorial directorship of Robert Ornstein, a prominent American associate of Idries Shah. A Spanish version has been published by Alif Publishing Corp., which publishes many of Omar Ali-Shah's works, and a Portuguese one by Edições Dervish. A French version ("Les maîtres de Gurdjieff") has been published by Le Courrier du Livre in 1977.

Elmer Edward Milliman (November 22, 1890 – January 1, 1947) was an American labor union leader.

Born in Mount Morris, New York, Milliman studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology but left without graduating due to his family's financial situation.  He found work as a laborer on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, soon becoming a crew foreman.  In 1918, he joined the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes, and in 1919 he won election as chair of his railroad's division of the union.

In 1922, Milliman was elected as secretary-treasurer of the international union.  He was the American Federation of Labor's (AFL) delegate to the British Trades Union Congress in 1932, and from 1938 he served on the AFL's education committee.  In 1940, he was elected as president of the union, also serving on the Railway Labor Executives' Association, and various government boards during World War II.  In addition, he was president of the Workers' Education Bureau of America, and chair of the Committee on Consumer Co-operatives.

Milliman died at the start of 1947, still in office.

Helen Louise Gardner (September 2, 1884 – November 20, 1968) was an American stage and film actress, screenwriter, film producer and costume designer.

Career
Gardner was born in Binghamton, New York. An alumna of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Gardner began her acting career as a stage actress. She became a Vitagraph Studios player in 1910 and earned critical acclaim for portraying Becky Sharp in the film version of the novel Vanity Fair. In 1912, she became the first film actor, male or female, to form her own production company,
The Helen Gardner Picture Players. The company was established in Tappan, New York with capital provided by Gardner’s mother. Gardner hired her lover Charles L. Gaskill as a director and scenarist. Known for her portrayal of strong female characters, Gardner’s first production was Cleopatra (1912), one of the first American full-length films. The film was re-edited and re-released after Fox released the 1917 adaptation starring Theda Bara. Gardner is considered the screen's first vamp, predating Theda Bara, Valeska Suratt and Louise Glaum. Gardner produced eleven feature films before closing her studio in 1914.

In 1915, she returned to Vitagraph briefly before signing with Universal. By this time, her popularity began to wane and she retired from acting in 1924.

Personal life
Before Gardner embarked on an acting career, she  married socially prominent businessman Duncan Clarkson Pell, Sr., on October 16, 1902, in West Haven, Connecticut. The marriage took place shortly after Gardner's 18th birthday and one week after Pell's divorce from his first wife, Anna. Duncan and Anna Pell's divorce was covered in the gossip columns of The New York Times. The couple had one child in 1904. Gardner left Pell in 1906 to continue her acting career but they never divorced. They remained married until Pell's death in 1964.

Some sources state that Gardner married for a second time to Charles Gaskill, the director of many of her films. Gardner's granddaughter and biographer, Dorin Gardner Schumacher, states that this is incorrect and that Gardner never divorced Duncan C. Pell, Sr.

Later years and death
In the 1950s, Gardner returned to Orlando, Florida where she had previously lived with her estranged husband. Gardner died in Orlando on November 20, 1968, at the age of 84.

Ur So Gay is the debut extended play (EP) by American singer Katy Perry. It was released digitally on November 20, 2007 by Capitol Records. A physical edition of the EP was released on January 15, 2008. The EP contains four tracks: the title track "Ur So Gay", a remix of the title track by American DJ Junior Sanchez, "Use Your Love" (a remake of the Outfield's 1986 song "Your Love"), and "Lost". "Ur So Gay" and "Lost" would later appear on Perry's second studio album, One of the Boys (2008).

Music
According to Perry, she had a couple of different choices in mind for covers. She initially wanted to record a Queen song, but could not think of one that was particularly club-worthy. While at a club with her friends, the Outfield's song "Your Love" was played. Perry said that when the song came on, every girl there went onto the dance floor and had "the best time", which is something that she wanted to capture on the EP.

Release
The EP was not expected to be a huge seller and only "a few thousand" copies were sold. According to Chris Anokute, Perry's A&R, the EP "did well in terms of building a press story but because people didn't run to iTunes to buy the EP some executives in the company started backpedalling".

Critical reception
Billboard senior editor Chuck Taylor believed that Ur So Gay had "all the potential to amuse the masses". He further highlighted the remix of its title track, referring to this as "ripe and ready for clubs—where gays are bound to embrace it".
