Salvatore Francis Martin Piro (June 29, 1950 – January 22, 2023) was an American actor who was the president of The Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club, a position he held from 1977 until his death.

Piro was a part of the original Waverly Theatre audience, from which the unique audience participation elements and much of the film's cult following were born. This following has become a worldwide phenomenon.

Piro appeared as himself in the film Fame as well as a number of documentaries, and had a nonspeaking, unnamed cameo as a man using a payphone in Rocky Horrors pseudo sequel Shock Treatment. He also cameoed as The Photographer in the 2016 television remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. As an actor, he performed in both film and television.

Piro wrote two books on the Rocky Horror cult following, Creatures of the Night and Creatures of the Night II.

Personal life
Salvatore Francis Martin Piro was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1950. He attended Seton Hall University, but did not receive a degree. In the mid-1970s, he was a theology teacher and theater director at Catholic schools in New Jersey.

In Cherry Grove, New York, on Fire Island, Piro managed the Ice Palace and Grove Hotel for 23 years and executive produced the Miss Fire Island Pageant, Mr. Fire Island Leather, and the Miss Grove Hotel contest. He also played competitive tournament chess and Scrabble.

Piro died from an aneurysm at his home in Manhattan on January 22, 2023, at the age of 72.

Mystery Road is the third studio album by the Hard Rock/Southern Rock band Drivin' N' Cryin', released on March 28, 1989, by Island Records. The Washington Post said the album "remains a classic of the genre".

Overview
Originally, R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, a friend of the band, was going to produce the album, and they recorded demos together. However, Island Records refused and chose Scott McPherson to be the producer.

Mystery Road "is like a map of late-'80s college radio, wandering from folky protest songs to crunch-heavy hard rock to warm, pseudo-country rock, with a little punk thrown in for good measure.".

"Straight to Hell" is the band's most well-known song. Singer/guitarist Kevn Kinney said of the song:

"Honeysuckle Blue" was a "gorgeous Southern rock ballad that sounded like it should have been a big hit". Kinney recalled it was 

On October 6, 2017, Mystery Road was reissued with the original Peter Buck demos as bonus tracks.

Darius Rucker's fifth album When Was the Last Time was released October 20, 2017 and featured a cover of "Straight to Hell" with guests Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Charles Kelley. Darius said the song "was huge in my day—when it was played in the bar, every single person in the bar was singing and hugging their best friend".

Reception

Denise Sullivan of AllMusic called Mystery Road the "least memorable record in the Drivin' n' Cryin' canon". Red Dirt Report'''s Andrew W. Griffin wrote of the reissue that "this new rerelease of a 28-year old album from Drivin' N' Cryin' is refreshing, primarily because we get to hear a band really starting to take off and become the band that refuses to throw in the towel all these years later".

Al-Hayʼat al-ʿUlyā lil-Jāmiʿāt al-Qawmiyyah Bangladesh () is the government-recognized combined Qawmi Madrasah Education Board of Bangladesh, having the authority to arrange central examinations and to issue certificates. It consists of six Qawmi Madrasah Education Boards: Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh, Befaqul Madarisil Qawmia Gauhordanga Bangladesh, Anjumane Ittehadul Madaris Bangladesh, Azad Deeni Edaraye Talim Bangladesh, Tanjeemul Madarisid Diniya Bangladesh, and Jatiya Deeni Madrasa Shikkha Board Bangladesh.

Background
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced on 11 April 2017 that, on the basis of the principles of the Darul Uloom Deoband, a Dawra-e-Hadith certificate issued by a Qawmi Madrasah would be treated as equivalent to a master's degree in Islamic studies and Arabic. Two days later the Ministry of Education published a gazette elaborating on the decision. It gave a committee formed by the Qawmi Madrasah boards the authority to supervise the Dawrah-e-Hadith examinations.

On 19 September 2018, parliament passed a bill putting the decision into law, retrospective to April 2017. It recognized Al-Haiatul Ulya Lil-Jamiatil Qawmia Bangladesh as a board that integrates the six existing Qawmi Madrasa education boards: Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh, Befaqul Madarisil Qawmia Gauhordanga Bangladesh, Anjumane Ittehadul Madaris Bangladesh, Azad Deeni Edaraye Talim Bangladesh, Tanjeemul Madarisid Diniya Bangladesh and Jatiya Deeni Madrasa Shikkha Board Bangladesh. The chairman of Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh will be the ex officio chairman of the combined board.

Objectives and functions
The Haiatul Ulya was founded to ensure a standardized curriculum and to provide centralized examinations for all of the institutions under six Qawmi Madrsa Education Board, and hence to be able to get government recognition. The main functions of the federation are: creation of syllabus, checking standard of education, arrangement of examination and issuance of degrees.

Notable institutions
The following are some of the notable Qawmi Madrasahs in Bangladesh:
 Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam

The Vyne Chapel is a Grade I listed Church of England chapel in The Vyne, Hampshire. The chapel's origins are early modern. The chapel is noted for its well preserved 16th century stained glass, featuring a rare portrait of a young King Henry VIII of England, his sister Margaret Tudor and Henry's wife Catherine of Aragon, all in prayer.

History
The Vyne Chapel forms part of The Vyne, a 16th-century country house in the parish of Sherborne St John, near Basingstoke, in Hampshire, England. The chapel is noted for its rare 16th century stained glass. The upper panels of the glass show scenes from the passion of Christ; the lower panels contain portraits of King Henry VIII, his first wife Catherine of Aragon, and Henry's sister Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland, all kneeling in prayer, together with their respective patron saints.  Henry VIII was a guest at The Vyne both with his first wife Catherine of Aragon and later with Anne Boleyn. 

At the time The Vyne was owned by the Lord Chamberlain William Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys, a key figure in the Tudor Royal Household,  who commissioned the glass sometime before 1533.  Sir William Sandys' chapel measures 35 feet in length, 19 feet in width, and 25 feet in height.

Reformation

It remains unclear how the glass survived the iconoclasm of the Reformation in England. It may be that the presence of the three royal figures prevented the glass from being destroyed. 

The chapel was described by the art historian and antiquarian Horace Walpole as "the most heavenly chapel in all the world".

Modern era
In 2015 the stained glass windows underwent restoration to preserve them from damage. The windows were removed, cleaned and re-fitted with protective glazing

Today
The Vyne Chapel is well preserved and is open to visitors to The Vyne; however the chapel no longer has regular services.  The stained glass windows are considered the most important stained glass in the collection of the National Trust, arguably amongst the most important in the country.
