Ry Rocklen

Ry Rocklen is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, working primarily in sculpture. Rocklen's work has been shown nationally and internationally, and has been included in several major survey exhibitions, including "Made in LA" at the Hammer Museum and the 2008 Whitney Biennial. Rocklen was born in 1978 and attended UCLA. He is represented by Honor Fraser gallery in Los Angeles and Praz-Delavallade in Paris/Los Angeles.Rocklen's solo exhibitions, which have frequently been reviewed in art publications, often make use of found objects which have been adorned or otherwise modified. Said Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer of his 2009 exhibition at Parker Jones, "But as much as Rocklen’s elaborate sculptural alterations to found objects revitalize the weary and return refuse from the brink of oblivion, they also scrutinize the contingencies of matter’s decomposition and express a sense of wonder at the accidental textures and forms to be discovered in states of decay." Katie Anania wrote, "Rocklen seems to be conceding that his perception of objects is idiosyncratic and partial, so he works to dismantle our experience of them as well." Brian Sholis noted in Artforum, "Rocklen's role as an object healer stems from his interest in diverse notions of health and spirituality, two interrelated themes that underpin other works in the show. "From the Made in LA catalogue: "Ry Rocklen (b. 1978 Los Angeles) works with vintage objects that are chimerically transformed by the artist into farcical performative objects. In his hands, abandoned debris or kitsch is quixotically plasticized into a brand of postminimalist sculpture with a seductive touch.

1983 Finnish parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Finland on 20 and 21 March 1983. The elections were widely regarded as a "protest election" because, contrary to expectations, the major parties with the exception of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) performed poorly; the Liberal People's Party (LKP) lost all its seats in the Eduskunta, while the Finnish Rural Party (SMP) more than doubled its seat tally and the Greens won seats for the first time. The SMP's success was credited, at least in part, to voter distaste for some mainstream parties because of political scandals; no significant policy differences emerged in the election campaign. The SDP won 57 seats, the best performance by a party since World War II.

Namecoin

Namecoin (Symbol: N {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} } or NMC) is a cryptocurrency originally forked from bitcoin software. It is based on the code of bitcoin and uses the same proof-of-work algorithm. Like bitcoin, it is limited to 21 million coins.Namecoin can store data within its own blockchain transaction database. The original proposal for Namecoin called for Namecoin to insert data into bitcoin's blockchain directly. Anticipating scaling difficulties with this approach, a shared proof-of-work (POW) system was proposed to secure new cryptocurrencies with different use cases. Namecoin's flagship use case is the censorship-resistant top level domain .bit, which is functionally similar to .com or .net domains but is independent of ICANN, the main governing body for domain names.

Hellfire Club

Hellfire Club was a name for several exclusive clubs for high-society rakes established in Britain and Ireland in the 18th century. The name most commonly refers to Francis Dashwood's Order of the Friars of St. Francis of Wycombe. Such clubs, rumour had it, served as the meeting places of "persons of quality" who wished to take part in what were socially perceived as immoral acts, and the members were often involved in politics. Neither the activities nor membership of the clubs are easy to ascertain. The clubs allegedly had distant ties to an elite society known only as "The Order of the Second Circle".The first official Hellfire Club was founded in London in 1718, by Philip, Duke of Wharton and a handful of other high-society friends. The most notorious club associated with the name was established in England by Francis Dashwood, and met irregularly from around 1749 to around 1760, and possibly up until 1766. In its later years the Hellfire was closely associated with Brooks's, established in 1764. Other groups using the name "Hellfire Club" were set up throughout the 18th century. Most of these clubs arose in Ireland after Wharton's had been dissolved.
