is a Japanese koto player and composer. He is the son of the  Kazue Sawai and late Tadao Sawai, both of whom are also renowned as koto players and composers.

In 1992, Sawai Hikaru won the 14th Ministry of Cultural Affairs Performing Arts Grand Prix Award for an original work, "Shaei," for solo koto.  His concerts in 1993 and 1994 were widely acclaimed; a New Year's concert performance of "Shaei" was broadcast by satellite to all parts of the world, kindling growing interest in the koto as a modern instrument.

He is also a metal guitarist, so his koto works include metal techniques, rhythm and scale.  In 1985 he formed the rock band "Mephisto Pheles", for which he composed and played guitar.  The band had a strong following and a lasting influence, re-forming in 2001 for a 21-city Japanese tour promoting their new album “Metal on Metal” on the VAP label.

Sawai Hikaru directs the influential Sawai Sokyoku-in (Sawai Koto Academy of Music) in Tokyo.  The academy was founded in 1979 by his parents Sawai Tadao and Sawai Kazue.  It is noted for its dynamic performances, innovative playing techniques, variety of sounds, and openness to new musical forms and combinations.

Some of his concerts include:
 1995: at the City Theater in Paris;
 1999: an 11-city tour in Japan and abroad to celebrate Sawai Koto Academy’s 20th commemoration; 
 2007: Sawai Hikaru and Sawai Kazue performed with their massed koto troupe “Sawai Koto Orchestra” in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Robert Lee Tudor (March 11, 1874 – May 14, 1949) was an American politician from New York.

Life 
Tudor was born on March 11, 1874, in Patrick County, Virginia, the son of William Abram Tudor and Martha Jane Lee. His mother was a member of the Lee family. He was born in Critz.

After finishing public school, Tudor began working for the Southern Railroad as a telegrapher and station agent. He then moved to New York City, New York, where he worked as a city ticket agent for the Long Island Railroad. He worked there until 1905, when he started working for the publishing house Taylor, Platt & Company. He was active in politics since around 1898, serving as a member of the Tammany Hall General Committee, vice-president of the Tammany Central Club of the Fourteenth Assembly District, and a speaker of the Tammany Hall Speakers Bureau. In 1912, he was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Democrat, representing the New York County 14th District. He served in the Assembly in 1913 (when he introduced and passed several important bills, including the "Tudor Bill" that required a prospective female employee whose employer required her to undergo a physical examination to be examined by a female physician, a "Dentistry Bill" that remedied abuses caused by irresponsible and unregistered people who concealed their identity under a corporation or trade name, and the "Juvenile Delinquency Measure), 1914, 1915, 1916, and 1917.

Tudor was Deputy Commissioner of Correction from 1918 to 1932 and Acting Commissioner of Correction from 1932 to 1933. In January 1938, he was appointed City Clerk by the New York City Council, which under the new New York City Charter replaced for the former New York City Board of Aldermen. However, then-City Clerk Michael J. Cruise contested the validity of the appointment on the grounds that he still had two more years to serve as City Clerk, with Tudor arguing the new City Charter vacated the office. The two men took the case to court, and would both sign various documents that had to be signed by the City Clerk. Cruise was ultimately judged the duly elected City Clerk, and Tudor resigned from the office in January 1939.

Tudor died from a subdural hematoma at Jefferson Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia, on May 14, 1949. He was buried in the family cemetery in Critz.

Mendocino Brewing Company () is a brewery founded in 1983 as the Hopland Brewery in the Mendocino County town of Hopland, California. The brewery expanded and moved its operations to a larger Mendocino County facility located in Ukiah, California in 1997.

Background
The Hopland Brewery was founded in 1983 by homebrewers Michael Laybourn and Norman Franks who purchased the brewing equipment of the closed New Albion Brewing Company. Former New Albion brewers, Jack McAuliffe and Don Barkley, were hired to operate the brewery. The flagship beer was named Red Tail Ale, named after both the beer's color and also a local hymn titled "The Redtail Hawk". The company continued to name all its beer varieties after birds.

Opened on August 14, 1983, the Hopland Brewery was the first California brewpub ‒ a brewery licensed to sell both its own beer and food at the same location ‒ as well as the second in the United States.

In 2014, Northwest Labor Press listed Mendocino Brewing as the only unionized craft brewery they could find. The Ukiah facility was represented by the Teamsters.

Mendocino Brewing Company ceased operations in January 2018. In March 2019, investors and several former employees announced that they had re-started operations and brewed Red Tail Ale and Eye of the Hawk for limited, local distribution.

Public offering
In 1994, the company went public in a direct public offering, advertising its share offering with flyers in six-packs of its beer. In 1997, Vijay Mallya, owner of the UB Group, bought a significant portion of the company, and was the beneficial owner of approximately three-quarters of the company's stock.

Beers

The company's beers included Red Tail Ale, Blue Heron Pale Ale, Eye of the Hawk Select Ale, and Black Hawk Stout, as well as several other regular offerings, and various short-run seasonal offerings. Their products were named for birds of prey, except Blue Heron, and feature images of the birds on their labels.

As part of the acquisition by UB Group, the company owns a brewery in Saratoga Springs, New York, and produces Kingfisher brand beers for the U.S. market.

Sponsorship
The brewery was also the official sponsor of the Mendocino Steam Donkeys Rugby Football Club, a local men's Division III rugby union team.

Piazza della Minerva is a piazza in Rome, Italy, near the Pantheon. Its name derives from the existence of a temple built on the site by Pompey dedicated to Minerva Calcidica, whose statue is now in the Vatican Museums.

Features

Facing this piazza are:
the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, centre of the square, already attested in the 8th century by the Anonymous of Einsiedeln by the name (ecclesia) "S. Mariae in Minervio". To the right of its facade are inscriptions built into the wall commemorating the flooding of the River Tiber between 1422 and 1598 - the area of the piazza is the lowest in Rome, and so was always the first to suffer in flooding.
A convent (or casa professa) of the Dominicans, who held the nearby church from the 13th century. This expanded over time to Via del Seminario and to the church of San Macuto, in the space formerly occupied by three Roman temples - the aforementioned Minervium, the Iseum, and the Serapeum.

Inquisition
From the 17th century, the convent became the base of the Roman Inquisition or  Holy Office, and it housed the trial and recantation of Galileo Galilei. Little remains of the Dominican complex except its cloister: This had been largely rebuilt from the original building, and expropriated by the state in 1870 as the seat of the Ministry of Public Education and for a short time the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications. The cloister now holds the library of the Italian Senate, dedicated to Giovanni Spadolini.
At the centre of the piazza, backing onto the Inquisition convent, is the 1667 Elephant and Obelisk by Bernini. This obelisk was excavated in the cloister and came from the Iseum. The elephant was known as "il pulcin della Minerva", or "porcino", from the Roman people's story that - uninspired by elephants - Bernini in fact sculpted a pig.
To the right of the church stands the 16th century Palazzo Fonseca, since 1832  the site of one of the historic hotels of Rome, known as the Minerva, whose guests have included Stendhal and José de San Martín, remembered in plaques on the facade.
Opposite the church is the Palazzo dell'accademia ecclesiastica (the former Accademia dei nobili ecclesiastici), 14th century in origin but completely rebuilt in 1878. It is an academy that trains the diplomats of Vatican City.

"Beauty School Dropout" is a song from the musical Grease. It was written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, and was performed by Frankie Avalon for the film version and soundtrack album

Overview
In the musical, the song is the showcase piece of the Teen Angel, a phantom teen idol who makes his only appearance in the musical to sing the song. The Teen Angel is Frenchy's guardian angel, and script notes specifically identify him as a Fabian look-alike, dressed in all-white. The Teen Angel appears to Frenchy, who, having recently dropped out of beauty school out of frustration with her teachers, asks for a guardian angel in the mold of those seen in Debbie Reynolds movies. The Angel descends from the heavens, then pointedly sings to her that she lacks work ethic and suggests that she return to high school so that she might eventually qualify for a career as a stenographer later in life. Frenchy silently refuses and walks away, leading the Angel to close his number by lamenting her refusal to listen and ascending back to the heavens. (The lyrics are adjusted in the film version to leave Frenchy's decision unstated; the character's cameo in Grease 2 implies that she does not return until years later.)

Alan Paul, later a member of The Manhattan Transfer, originated the role on Broadway. It is not uncommon for the role of the Teen Angel to be held as a dual role by one of the other characters in the cast during stage adaptations (in Paul's case, he also appeared as bandleader Johnny Casino). Frankie Avalon (who, like Fabian, was a client of Bob Marcucci's during his heyday) filled the role for the 1978 film adaptation of Grease, a role he reprised on stage through the 1990s and early 2000s. The Wild Angels recorded an earlier version for Decca Records in 1972.

Other versions

In the Noddy episode "The Tooth Fairy", a parody of the song entitled "Tooth Fairy" is performed by Johnny Crawfish, Whiny, Whimper and the Ruby Reds, with the lyrics altered to be about Johnny's first childhood encounter with the Tooth Fairy.

In 2012, the song was featured in an episode of the TV musical series Glee and in the related extended play soundtrack in a version sung by Darren Criss.

In 2016, Randy Rainbow parodied the song for six candidates for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination.

From 1972 through 1976, The New Dimensions, a group from the Chicago area, performed a '50s show featuring "Teen Angel" and the music of that era. Teen Angel, played by Pat Hysell, was a ghost of the '50s who reminisced of his days at the malt shop with Betty Sue and their dates at the drive-in theater. The band, led by Gordon Prigge included Hysell, Dick Gerlach and Jim Lyons performed throughout the Midwest for more than 25 years.

Sandy and Richard Riccardi parodied the song as "Tiki Torch Nazis", in reference to the neo-Nazi rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
