Meyebela, My Bengali Girlhood is a 1998 autobiographical book by Bangladeshi doctor, turned feminist writer Taslima Nasrin.

Synopsis
This autobiographical book tells Nasrin's story from birth to adolescence. The Bengali term Meyebela means "girlhood". The book has been banned in Bangladesh because "its contents might hurt the existing social system and religious sentiments of the people."

The book is very frank about her father and mother. Her father is described by Nasrin as rude and tyrannical. Nasrin was also sexually exploited by two of her family elders (uncles). She also said: "When I was at the hospital (in Dhaka), I treated so many seven- or eight-year-old girls who were raped by their male relatives, some 50 or 60 years old. I treated them, and I remembered when I was raped."

Nasrin has in this and in her other books written about women rights in Bangladesh: "Girls suffer, especially in Muslim countries," she said. "I could not go out and run in the fields. I was supposed to stay home to learn how to cook, to clean. Women are not treated as human beings. They are taught for centuries that they are slaves of men."

Charles François de Riffardeau, marquis, then duc de Rivière (Ferté-sur-Cher, 17 December 1763 — 1828) was French ambassador to the Sublime Porte of the Ottoman Empire, 1815–1821, for which service he was made duc in 1825. He played a role in getting the Venus de Milo for the Musée du Louvre.

Rivière joined the Guards at the age of seventeen. He fled at the opening of the French Revolution with the first wave of émigrés headed by Louis XVI's brother, the comte d'Artois, later Charles X, whom he followed as aide de camp to London with "a degree of superabundant loyal zeal". The comte d'Artois entrusted him with several missions to Brittany and the Vendée. In the time of Napoleon he returned to France with Charles Pichegru in 1804 and was implicated in the conspiracy against the Emperor's life headed by Georges Cadoudal; though Rivière was sentenced to death, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, and he was interned at Fort de Joux. He was not released until the Bourbon Restoration, when Louis XVIII made him a Peer of France and appointed him ambassador to the Ottoman court. On his return to France he was made Captain of the Guards to Charles X, was made a duke in 1825, and became tutor to the duc de Bordeaux in March 1826.

The series of lithographed Vues de Londres (Paris, 1862) were executed by his son, also Charles François de Riffardeau, duc de Rivière.

The Mémoires posthumes, lettres et pièces authentiques touchant la vie et la moirt de Charles François, duc de Rivière, edited by Joseph Jacques, vicomte de Naylies, was published in Paris, 1829.

Villa Alegre (, Happy Village) is a children's television show and the first national bilingual (Spanish/English) program in the United States.  It was produced by Bilingual Children's Television as its inaugural project on the company's founding in 1970. Villa Alegre debuted on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) public television in 1973 and ran there until funding disputes ended the project in 1981.  The show was also seen in syndication on commercial stations in some markets, on at least a weekly basis.

Villa Alegre was the creation of Dr. Rene Cardenas, who served as president of Bilingual Children's Television and Executive Producer. Other producers included Moctesuma Esparza, who worked on only the first season, and David Ochoa. 

The show won a Peabody Award among other honors.

Description 

Villa Alegre centered on life in a whimsical bilingual (Spanish and English) village. The program had an upbeat, catchy salsa-flavored theme song, which ended with adults and kids shouting "¡Villa Alegre!" The educational series was designed to teach English to Latino kids and Spanish to Anglo children.  It featured various educational subjects (such as mathematics and science) and life lessons, in addition to Hispanic culture.  The executive producer was Claudio Guzman and the head writer was Barbara Chain.  Her son Michael Chain was a staff writer who also composed much of the specialty music for the episodes.

Performers 

Kenia Hernandez Cueto played the child actress/singer Maria. Actress Carmen Zapata starred in the program for nine seasons in the role of Doña Luz, the mayor of Villa Alegre, Mexican-American singer-actress Marisela appeared on the show in her youth. Actress Linda Dangcil played Elena on the show. The show was directed by Argentine actor and director Alejandro Rey (who co-starred with Dangcil on The Flying Nun). Nono Arsu played Felipe  in the first and second seasons. Steve Franken and Hal Smith were regulars also.  Darryl Henriques played Mimo in the first and second seasons.

Christopher Mauricio Flores (born May 10, 1990) is an American former professional basketball player. He was the 2012–13 Great West Conference Player of the Year as a senior after leading the NJIT Highlanders to the school's first ever Great West Conference regular season championship. He is NJIT's all-time leading scorer in the Division I era after finishing his career with 1,726 points.

Family
Julian Flores (8).
Marco Banegas-Flores

High school
Flores spent his traditional four-year high school career at John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics & Science in Roxbury, Massachusetts. In 2008–09, he spent one additional year at Marianapolis Preparatory School in Thompson, Connecticut. Flores averaged 17 points per game during that postgraduate year while shooting greater than 40 percent from three-point range. In the 2009 New England Class B Prep championship he scored 35 points. The New England Recruiting Report tabbed him as the 18th-best prospect from the state of Connecticut.

College
Flores suited up for the NJIT Highlanders from 2009–10 through 2012–13. In all four seasons he averaged between 12.6 and 16.9 points per game. From his freshman through his junior years, Flores was named to the All-Great West Conference Second Team, and in his freshman season he was also named to the All-GWC Newcomer Team as well as its Freshman of the Year. Heading into his senior season, the Great West Conference media selected Flores as the preseason player of the year. The media's prediction came true after Flores was named its player of the year by leading the Highlanders to their first ever conference regular season championship.

Professional
Flores went unselected in the 2013 NBA draft. The Brooklyn Nets were the only NBA team to give him a pre-draft workout, and when no other teams showed interest he began his professional career overseas. In August 2013 he signed with Uni-Riesen Leipzig, a team in Germany's Bundesliga Pro-B. He played there for two seasons before returning to the United States to pursue a business career.

Drylands (1999) (subtitled "A Book for the World's Last Reader") is a Miles Franklin Award-winning novel by Australian author Thea Astley.  This novel shared the award with Benang by Kim Scott.

Awards

Miles Franklin Literary Award, 2000: joint winner
Queensland Premier's Literary Awards, Best Fiction Book, 2000: winner

Review

 
 Kerryn Goldsworthy: "Drylands is Astley's Waste Land, with a cast of exhausted and alienated characters wandering through it in the death-grip of entropy, pursued by fin-de-siècle furies and other personifications of failure and defeat. In the small town of Drylands there are no fragments shored against anybody's ruin (well, there are, but even the fragments get vandalized and tossed), and there is certainly none of the peace that passeth understanding."

Bartolomeo Coda (or Codi) flourished about the year 1543. He was called Da Rimini, as was also his elder brother Francesco, who painted in 1533. He was instructed in the art by his father, Benedetto, whom he surpassed. In the church of San Rocco at Pesaro, was a fine picture by this master, bearing the above date; which Lanzi says in every respect bears the character of the golden age of the art. It represents the Virgin and Infant enthroned, with a Choir of beautiful Cherubs, and with St. Roch and St. Sebastian. However, this painting no longer exists. It was painted for the Confraternita San Rocco and San Sebastiano in Pesaro but by 1821 was in the hands of Edward Solly, an art dealer in Berlin. He sold it to the Berlin art gallery (now the Gemäldergalerie) who believe that it was probably destroyed in May 1945 in the control tower of the flak bunker in Berlin's Friedrichshain.
