The National Endowment for Culture and Arts (Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes, FONCA) is a public agency of the Mexican federal government,attached to the National Council for Culture and the Arts (Conaculta). Funding for FONCA comes from both the government and the private sector.

It was created in 1989, during the administration of President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, in order to:
support artistic and cultural creations of high quality;
promote and disseminate culture;
increase the country's cultural wealth;
and preserve and protect the nation's cultural heritage.

Part of its mission is to promote and encourage artistic creation by awarding monetary grants and scholarships for high-quality art projects. This process begins with calls for proposals, some of which are then selected as recipients in accordance with principles of democratic participation, equality of opportunities, and judgement by peers.

Harold Frederick Lawrence (December 17, 1887 – 1953) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada.  He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1932 to 1936.

Lawrence was born and educated in Burton upon Trent, England in 1887, and came to Canada in 1907.  He worked as a railroad accountant for the Canadian National Railway, and became involved in the provincial labour movement in 1915.  From 1917 to 1921, he served as general chairman of the Canadian Brotherhood Railroad Employees Western Lines.

Lawrence also became active in Manitoba's Independent Labour Party (ILP), and was first elected to the provincial legislature under its banner in the 1932 general election.  Running in St. Boniface, he defeated longtime Conservative representative Joseph Bernier by 504 votes.  Bernier actually defeated Lawrence by six votes on first preferences, but lost on transfers; the province was using the single transferable ballot at the time.

For the 1936 provincial election, the ILP ran candidates in an alliance with the newly formed Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF).  Lawrence again finished second on first preferences, but was declared elected on the third count over Liberal-Progressive candidate L.P. Gagnon.  After the election, the provincial ILP organization was gradually superseded by the CCF.

In 1940, the Manitoba CCF joined an all-party coalition government.  Lawrence sat with his colleagues as a government backbencher, but did not seek re-election in the provincial election of 1941. He died in 1953.

Lloyd Stinson, who led the Manitoba CCF from 1952 to 1959, once described Lawrence as a "rough-and-ready railwayman".

The Austin Citizen was a newspaper published in Austin, Texas from 1964 to 1981.

History
The paper began as a weekly paper called The Travis County Citizen based in Pflugerville from 1964 to 1965 and then moved to Austin, becoming known variously as The Citizen, The Citizen-Guide, and Citizen News before it became known as the Citizen in 1971, eventually moving to three-times-weekly publication.

Upon changing to daily publication schedule on April 1, 1976, Texas Monthly noted: "No paper has attempted to go daily in a major Texas city in more than 50 years". The Dallas Morning News considered buying the Citizen in 1979. After trying to stay afloat by raising its price to 25 cents and printing in a smaller tabloid format, it folded in October 1981. At that time, the Citizen was an afternoon publication issued five days a week with a circulation of about 14,500 and 80 employees; it was led by Thomas Reay as general manager and executive editor with John F. Warren as publisher.

Features
During its weekly days, the Citizen featured a front-page column by Wray Weddell, called an "industry-boosting editor" by the progressive Texas Observer. Michael Eakin of the counterculture Austin Sun newspaper opined in 1974 that Weddell had "completely polarized" the issue of economic growth in Austin, saying: "He has people thinking in terms of growth or no growth ... There are alternatives and we want people to be aware of them." Further reflecting on the two newspapers publishing in the city at that time, Eakin noted that "you do not have a paper which deals with primarily local issues read by a really broad based group of people."

However, according to a 1978 Texas Monthly article, the Citizen boasted strong municipal government coverage, with a local public affairs consultant saying the paper "blows the Statesman away on city reporting", including besting the larger, establishment daily on sewage dumping into the Colorado River, city staffing problems, and misuse of public funds.

Other Citizen staff included arts and entertainment writer John Bustin, lifestyles writer Carolyn Bengston, photographer Robert Godwin, and editorial cartoonist Roger "Rabbi" Moore.

The Citizen readership base was in West Austin, and said to be "well educated, well-to-do, and civic-minded." A commentary in the Austin Chronicle noted it was editorally "a voice for the conservative and business community", once featuring a column by Ronald Reagan. The paper's financial backers were Republicans.

Reception
Neil Young of Screen Daily called the film an "engrossing exercise in empathetic humanism, unhurried and uninflected".

Georgia Del Don of Cineuropa wrote that the film is "far more" than a "precise account of the ambiguous and vertiginous time marking the transition from childhood to adolescence."

Martin Kudlac of ScreenAnarchy wrote that despite the film being a "social allegory disguised as a coming-of-age tale imbued with the latent cringe cruelty of Todd Solondz's poetics", the film "works" as a "concentrated representation of the agony and confusion of growing up."

Taravai is the second largest island in the Gambier Islands of French Polynesia, at 5.7 km2. Taravai is  about 1.5 km southwest of Mangareva and about 300 m north of the island of Angakauitai. Off its eastern shore lies the tiny rock Îlot Motu-o-ari.

The village named Agonoko is located near the main bay on the island's eastern shore. It has a population of 9 (). Former villages were Aga-nui (northwest) and Agakau-i-uta (southeast).

The Onemea archaeological site suggests sporadic occupation of the island around AD 950 with a possible continuous settlement since the 13th century.

Before the conversion to Christianity, the king of Taravai was a vassal to the king of Rikitea in Mangareva.

Giovanni Battista Trevano (born in Lugano, Switzerland, died 1644 in Krakow, Poland) was an Italian-speaking architect who worked in Poland as royal architect for King Sigismund III Vasa, of the Vasa dynasty, which ruled Poland at the time.

Early career 
Trevano started working in Poland around 1600. He was one of the team of architects and craftsmen who rebuilt the Royal Castle in Warsaw, on the basis of the old Gothic castle of the Masovian princes, which had already been completely remodeled by Italian architects in the second half of the sixteenth century. New work was undertaken in the years 1598-1619. He was not alone in this project: Giacomo Rodondo, Paolo del Corte and Mateo Castelli were all involved in remaking the castle into a new Baroque structure, on its imposing site along the bank of the river Vistula. The castle, much altered over the years, was bombed and dynamited by the Nazis as a symbol of Polish culture and was rebuilt in the years 1971–1988 as a national monument.

Career 
In Kraków, on the Wawel hill, following a fire in 1595, Trevano rebuilt the state apartments of the Royal Castle for Sigismund III Vasa.

Also on the Wawel hill, in the Cathedral Church of St Wenceslas, which has been repeatedly reconstructed around the 11th-century shrine of St. Stanislaus of Szczepanów, Trevano built the shrine-mausoleum with the crossing dome, supported on four piers (1626–29).

The first Baroque church built in Poland was the Church of St. Peter and Paul on Ulica Grodzka, erected by order of Sigismund III Vasa for the Jesuits in the years 1597—1619. It was designed by Giovanni de Rossi as a cruciform basilica with a domed crossing and completed by Trevano. As with Jesuit churches throughout Catholic Europe, its façade is a close variant of that provided by Giacomo Della Porta for the Church of the Gesù, the Jesuit Mother Church in Rome.

Also in Kraków, St Martin's Church (Kosciol sw. Marcina), was built by Trevano, 1638–44. It has been used for Lutheran worship since 1816. In Ulica sw. Jana, no.12, the Krauze House (Kamienica Krauzowska, now housing the Kraków History Museum) was originally a Gothic building but was remodeled by Giovanni Petrini and Trevano in 1611. The house has a doorway with a segmental pediment.

In Kielce the bishop's palace, built 1637–41 for Jakub Zadzik as a personal monument, is undocumented but is attributed to Trevano, though Tomasso Poncino, another Italian working in Poland but mainly as a building contractor, is credited with carrying out the construction and working out some of the architectural detail. The palace stands out in Poland in retaining its original features virtually unchanged.

Pattern calculus bases all computation on pattern matching of a very general kind.  Like lambda calculus, it supports a
uniform treatment of function evaluation. Also, it allows functions to be
passed as arguments and returned as results. In addition, pattern calculus supports
uniform access to the internal structure of arguments, be they pairs
or lists or trees. Also, it allows patterns to be passed as arguments and
returned as results.  Uniform access is illustrated by a
pattern-matching function  that computes the size of an
arbitrary data structure. In the notation of the programming language
bondi, it is given by the recursive function
let rec size = 
 | x y -> (size x) + (size y) 
 | x -> 1 

The second, or default case  matches the pattern 
against the argument and returns .  This
case is used only if the matching failed in the first case.  The
first, or special case matches against any compound, such
as a non-empty list, or pair. Matching binds  to the left component
and  to the right component. Then the body of the case adds the
sizes of these components together.

Similar techniques yield generic queries for searching and updating. Combining recursion and decomposition in this way yields path polymorphism.

The ability to pass patterns as parameters (pattern polymorphism) is illustrated by defining a 
generic eliminator.  Suppose given constructors  for creating
the leaves of a tree, and  for converting numbers into
counters. The corresponding eliminators are then
elimLeaf  = |  Leaf y -> y 
elimCount = | Count y -> y

For example,  evaluates to  as does .

These examples can be produced by applying the generic eliminator
 to the constructors in question. It is defined by
elim = | x -> | {y} x y -> y 

Now  evaluates to | {y} Leaf y -> y which is equivalent to . Also  is equivalent to .

In general, the curly braces  contain the bound variables of the
pattern, so that  is free and  is bound in | {y} x y -> y.

Ortygornis is a genus of bird in the francolin group of the family Phasianidae.

Taxonomy
The genus Ortygornis was introduced in 1852 by the German naturalist Ludwig Kaiser to accommodate a single species, the grey francolin, which is therefore the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek ortux meaning "quail" with ornis meaning "bird".

The genus now contains three species, one found in Sub-Saharan Africa and two found South Asia (with one also being found in Iran). The species are:

Of the three species, the crested francolin was formerly placed in its own monotypic genus, Dendroperdix, while the two Asian species were formerly placed in Francolinus. Phylogenetic analyses support these three species grouping together as a distinct clade.
