The Alfred Friendly Foundation is an American nonprofit foundation that awards Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships to journalists from nations in the developing world. The program is offered annually to approximately ten professional print journalists between the ages of 25 and 35, giving them a six-month, in-depth, practical introduction to the professional and ethical standards of the U.S. print media.

The fellowships were created in 1984 by Alfred Friendly, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and former managing editor of the Washington Post. Convinced that healthy democracies need strong, free media, Friendly conceived a fellowship program that would both impart American journalistic traditions and respond to worldwide interest in the dissemination of fair and accurate news.

The Daniel Pearl Foundation joined with AFPF in 2003 to offer special fellowships to honor the life and work of journalist Daniel Pearl. Daniel Pearl Fellows have been placed with the Washington, D.C. bureau of the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, the Berkshire Eagle and North Adams Transcript.

John is a 2005 book by Cynthia Lennon about the life of her first husband, musician John Lennon, as well as her own life. First published by Hodder & Stoughton, the book chronicles her relationship with Lennon prior to, during, and after his period as a member of the Beatles, including the birth of their son Julian Lennon, her and John's divorce, John's subsequent remarriage to Yoko Ono, and Cynthia and Julian's life following John's 1980 murder.

John was Cynthia's second book, following her 1978 memoir A Twist of Lennon.

Reception
Michel Faber of The Guardian gave the book a mostly negative review, writing that its "stated purpose is to counteract the way she's [Cynthia's] been airbrushed out of history, to prove that her marriage to John was not the irrelevance he claimed it was. Instead, she paints herself even further into the background, with prose so characterless and bland it might as well have been produced by a half-asleep hack." The Independents Mark Timlin wrote that, in comparison to other books about the Beatles, John "has the ring of truth that most do not", and called it "the story of a one-man woman whose man got away in one of the most public demonstrations of adultery ever. But I've got to tell you, given a choice between going out with Cynthia or Yoko, [...] I'd choose Cynthia every time."

Velefi was the name of an ancient town of Roman North Africa.

Location
Velefi is tentatively given as the ruins of Fedj-Es-Soyoud. The town is shown at Segment grid 3C3 of the Tabula Peutingeriana.

Bishopric
Velefi was also the seat of an ancient episcopal see of the Roman province of Numidia. One bishop is known of this African diocese, Ianuario (Gennaro), who participated in the synod meeting in Carthage in 484 called by the Vandal king Huneric, and who was later exiled.

Today the diocese of Velefi survives as a titular bishopric; the current bishop is Helmut Bauer, auxiliary bishop of Würzburg.

Trams existed in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo from 1899 to 1960.

History
In 1892 the Colombo Municipal Council called for tenders for the construction of tramways in the city. Three years later a contract was signed with Boustead Brothers, a private British company. Work on laying the tracks, overhead construction and the power station commenced in September 1897.

On 11 January 1900 the Ceylon Electric Tramways opened the country’s first tramway for public service with the ‘Grand Pass Route’ being the first section to open, followed by the ‘Borella (Maradana) Route’. 

The tramways was eventually brought under Colombo Electric Tramways and Lighting Company Ltd after its formation in 1902, the same company that built the Pettah Power Station. The Pettah Power Station was the second power station established in the country and was used to power the tram network, mercantile offices, government buildings and street lights.

The whole of the track on both routes was relaid with  rails between December 1905 and August 1907, with all joints being welded by thermite process.

After a tram car strike in 1929, the Colombo Municipal Council took over operations of the electric tram system on 31 August 1944. The tram network were eventually scrapped in 1960.

The Colombo Municipal Council closed the service on 30 June 1960.

Tram network 

The tram network consisted of a single  line which utilised a  rail gauge. A total of 52 cars were in service, shuttling thousands of passengers between ten stops on the route from Maradana Station to Borella. The trams used trolley poles and consisted of open "toast-rack" type, and closed centre-entry type.

The average number of passengers carried on both routes in 1900 was 14,529 daily, in 1904 the number of passengers carried was 6,5559,059 and in 1905 was 6,555,338.

The original two tramway routes were:

‘Grand Pass Route’

 Fort Terminus (opposite Grand Oriental Hotel)
 Coal Depot
 Pettah Market
 Main Street
 St Paul’s Church
 New Moon Street
 Messenger Street
 Grand Pass Road
 St Joseph’s College

 York Street
 Chatham Street
 North Road
 Fort Railway Station
 Lake and Royal College

Incidents 
 On 16 June 1899 at 10pm, a tramcar travelling along Maradana Road (now Gnanaratha Pradeepa Mawatha) collided with a pony cart travelling from Regent Street to Jail Road (now , and ) causing injury to the two cart riders and pony, and damages to the cart and harness.

This was Darrieux's first Hollywood film since The Rage of Paris (1938).

In Paris, she meets Andre (Vic Damone), an eager young Frenchman. The father tries to keep her from marrying the Frenchman and avoid the mistake he made when he married her mother.

Songs
MGM promotion for the film emphasized the film's "songs rather than its patter"; Sammy Cahn wrote the lyrics and Nicholas Brodszky the music for several songs, including
 "Wonder Why" (which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song)

Other original songs by Cahn and Brodszky include
 "We Never Talk Much (We Just Sit Around)",
 "How D'Ya Like Your Eggs in the Morning?" and
 "I Can See You", both of which received radio airplay; "I Can See You" was also a jukebox favorite.

The film also features a "studied going over" of songs such as
 "Deep in the Heart of Texas" (written by June Hershey and Don Swander),
 "There's Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie" (written by Jack Maskill, Harry Richman, Pete Wendling) and
 "Old Piano Roll Blues" (written by Cy Coben).

Reception

Box office
According to MGM records, the film made $1,935,000 in the US and Canada and $1,064,000 elsewhere, making a profit of $54,000.

Critical reception
Time said the film was "aglow with Technicolor and plush sets" and said it treated a "light cinemusical subject with the butterscotch-caramel sentimentality of the bobby-soxers it is designed to please"; the film "tackles its situations without verve or humor, and handles its lightweight problems as ponderously as if they had been propounded by Ibsen in one of his gloomier moods."  Bosley Crowther of The New York Times called it "pretty as a picture postcard and just about as exciting."
