Mobile discotheques in UK
Silver Sounds Mobile Discotheque
One of the earliest mobile discotheques in Britain started out in Brighton, Sussex in 1967. At that time the Brighton Pavilion Young Conservatives held a weekly dance every Friday evening when, apart from a live group, vinyl was the only form of entertainment available.
Based on the success of these Friday get-togethers one of the members, Roger Wheeler, conceived the idea of setting up a mobile form of entertainment based on the Friday evening format initially using the Young Conservative's equipment for the first few events. He was joined in this venture by Paul Dennis, another Young Conservative, with the shows hosted by Wheeler and Dennis usually as a pair but sometimes with just one as the DJ.
The partnership continued their venture until Dennis left in January 1970 to travel to and work in Australia and the Far East.
As the original equipment belonged to the Brighton Pavilion Young Conservatives it could not continue to be used by the new venture and an uncle of Roger's was able to construct a system consisting of an amplifier, speakers, a mixer and two Garrard floating decks with the latter used to create stability wherever used.
Steady progress in the early years led to expansion of the areas covered to North Sussex, South Surrey and Kent.
Whilst sounding primitive by modern day standards it was a successful addition to musical entertainment in this era especially as the start-up had been greeted with so much scepticism by many at the time but copied by so many since.

Anne Waldman
Anne Waldman (born April 2, 1945) is an American poet.
Waldman was born in Millville, New Jersey, in 1945. She grew up on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, New York City. When she was young, she met musicians Leadbelly, Pete Seeger, and Thelonious Monk. Later, this had an effect on the place of music in her poetry.
There have been cases where priests, monks, nuns, or other educators of the Catholic Church have sexually abused other people. Most were children, but some were adults. Most priests, monks and nuns have given a vow of celibacy. This means that they said they would not have sex with anyone.
There have been rules of the church how to deal with cases of abuse. Despite this, many of these cases have long been ignored by the church. Since the 1990s, media attention about the subject has increased. Many victims came forward and reported cases of abuse. Some cases happened decades earlier. Most likely, many cases are not reported at all.
In the last few years, there had been scandals involving sexual abuse in Ireland, the United States, and other countries.
A study that looked at cases of sexual abuse in the church in the United States, between 1950 and the early 2000s found that 81% of the victims were male. Two years later, the same team published another report, with more detailed findings.
The abused are mostly boys but some are girls, some as young as three years old; most are 11 to 14 years old. The accusations of abuse and cover-ups began to receive public attention during the late 1980s. Cases have also been brought against members of the Catholic hierarchy who covered up sex abuse allegations and moved abusive priests to other parishes, where abuse continued.
By the 1990s, the cases began to receive a lot of media and public attention in countries such as Canada, United States, Chile, Australia and Ireland, and in much of Europe and South America. In 2002, an investigation by "The Boston Globe" led to widespread media coverage of the issue in the United States. Widespread abuse has been exposed in Europe, Australia, Chile, and the United States, reflecting worldwide patterns of long-term abuse as well as the Church hierarchy's pattern of regularly covering up reports of abuse.
From 2001 to 2010, the Holy See examined sex abuse cases involving about 3,000 priests, some of which dated back fifty years. Diocesan officials and academics knowledgeable about the Catholic Church say that sexual abuse by clergy is generally not discussed, and therefore difficult to measure. Members of the Church's hierarchy have argued that media coverage was excessive and disproportionate, and that such abuse also takes place in other religions and institutions. This annoyed critics who saw it as a device to avoid resolving the abuse problem within the Church.
In a 2001 apology, John Paul II called sexual abuse within the Church "a profound contradiction of the teaching and witness of Jesus Christ". Benedict XVI apologised, met with victims, and spoke of his "shame" at the evil of abuse, calling for perpetrators to be brought to justice, and denouncing mishandling by church authorities. In January 2018, referring to a particular case in Chile, Pope Francis accused victims of fabricating allegations; by April, he was apologizing for his "tragic error", and by August was expressing "shame and sorrow" for the tragic history. He convened a four-day summit meeting with the participation of the presidents of all the episcopal conferences of the world, which was held in Vatican City from 21 to 24 February 2019, to discuss preventing sexual abuse by Catholic Church clergy. In December 2019, Pope Francis made sweeping changes that allow for greater transparency. In June 2021, a team of U.N. special rapporteurs for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights criticized the Vatican, pointing to persistent allegations that the Catholic Church had obstructed and failed to cooperate with domestic judicial proceedings in order to prevent accountability for abusers and compensation for victims.
Some Christian media and institutions have criticized the reporting media for anti-Catholic bias. A report issued by Christian Ministry Resources in 2002 said that contrary to popular opinion, there are more allegations of child sexual abuse in Protestant congregations than Catholic ones, and that sexual violence is most often committed by volunteers rather than by priests themselves. The report also criticized the way the media reported sexual crimes, stating that the Australian media reported on sexual abuse allegations against Catholic clergy but ignored such allegations against Protestant churches. Stephen Joseph Rossetti, a Catholic priest, reported that the frequency of pedophilia amongst the Catholic clergy is no higher than among general population, and a Catholic priest is no more likely to be a pedophile than an average male.
Eugene Talmadge
He was one of the most popular singers in the Indian subcontinent, notable for his yodeling and ability to sing songs in different voices. He used to sing in different genres but some of his rare compositions, considered classics, were lost in time. According to his brother and legendary actor Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar was successful as a singer because his "voice hits the mike, straight, at its most sensitive point".
Besides Hindi, he sang in many other Indian languages, including Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Malayalam, Odia and Urdu. He also released a few non-film albums in multiple languages, especially in Bengali, which are noted as all-time classics.
He won 8 Filmfare Awards for Best Male Playback Singer and holds the record for winning the most Filmfare Awards in that category. He was awarded the Lata Mangeshkar Award by the Madhya Pradesh government in 1985.
In 1997, the Madhya Pradesh Government initiated an award called the "Kishore Kumar Award" for contributions to Hindi cinema. In 2012, his unreleased last song sold for 15.6 lakh at the Osian's Cinefan Auction in New Delhi.

Shocker (character)
Shocker is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr, and debuted in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #46 in March 1967. He is mainly an antagonist in the Spider-Man comic book series. At least two men, Herman Schultz and Jackson Bruce, have assumed the identity of the said supervillain.
Schultz was originally a self-taught engineer and renowned safe cracker who invented a pair of gauntlets capable of producing powerful vibrational shock waves. He incorporated these gauntlets into a protective battlesuit and became a mercenary for hire. As the Shocker, Schultz quickly rose in New York City's criminal underworld and has been employed by various crime lords, which has often put him into conflict with Spider-Man. One notable trait that differentiates the Shocker from most other Spider-Man villains is his pursuit of wealth and a comfortable life rather than revenge or chaos. As a result, he has sometimes put aside his differences with Spider-Man and has helped him or other heroes when it was in his best interest.
The character has been adapted from the comics into various forms of media, having been voiced by Jim Cummings in , Jeff Bennett in "The Spectacular Spider-Man", and David B. Mitchell in the video game "Spider-Man". Two iterations of the character were featured in the 2017 Marvel Cinematic Universe movie "", with Herman Schultz portrayed by Bokeem Woodbine and Jackson Price portrayed by Logan Marshall-Green.
Wings of Fire is a series of children's epic dragon fantasy novels written by Tui T. Sutherland. It has sold 14 million copies around the world.
The "Wings of Fire" series focuses on the adventures and endeavors of young dragons ("dragonets") to fulfill or stop prophecies and make their world a better place. There are two continents filled with dragons in the world of "Wings of Fire", and these dragons are split into ten tribes based on their biological characteristics - on Pyrrhia, there are the MudWings, SandWings, SkyWings, SeaWings, RainWings, IceWings and NightWings, and on Pantala, there are the SilkWings, HiveWings and LeafWings. With a few exceptions to each rule, the dragon tribes live separately from one another in a habitat suited to their needs, and are ruled by a queen. There are also humans in the world, usually called "scavengers" by the Pyrrhian dragons and "reading monkeys" by some Pantalan dragons, though humans are usually eaten and considered inferior animals. Despite this, at times the books explore the relationship between humans and dragons.
The books are written by Tui T. Sutherland and edited by Amanda Maciel, and they are published by Scholastic Inc. The cover art is drawn by Joy Ang, and the maps were made by Mike Schley.
There are five books in the first arc: "The Dragonet Prophecy" (2012), "The Lost Heir" (2013), "The Hidden Kingdom" (2013), "The Dark Secret" (2013), and "The Brightest Night" (2014). These respectively star the dragonets Clay, Tsunami, Glory, Starflight and Sunny as the protagonists. The five heroes are collectively called the "Dragonets of Destiny", a group of young dragons predicted by a mysterious prophecy to be the saviors of Pyrrhia who will end the twenty-year-long War of SandWing Succession by choosing the next queen of the SandWings.
There are five books in the second arc: "Moon Rising" (2014), "Winter Turning" (2015), "Escaping Peril" (2015), "Talons of Power" (2016), and "Darkness of Dragons" (2017). These respectively star the dragonets Moonwatcher, Winter, Peril, Turtle and Qibli as the protagonists. The books take place on Pyrrhia six months after the War of SandWing Succession has ended, at the newly-founded Jade Mountain Academy where dragons from all tribes can learn together; the protagonists are students at the school who are faced with a sinister new prophecy that threatens not only the school but possibly the entire world.
There are five books in the third arc: "The Lost Continent" (2018), "The Hive Queen" (2018), "The Poison Jungle" (2019), "The Dangerous Gift" (2021), and "The Flames of Hope" (2022). These respectively star Blue, Cricket, Sundew, Snowfall and Luna as the protagonists. It takes place on Pantala, where another prophecy predicts the destruction of the world if mind-controlling tyrant Queen Wasp is not stopped.
Two special edition books called "Legends" have also been written: "Darkstalker" (2016), which tells the "true story" of the legendary historical figures Darkstalker, Clearsight and Fathom, and "Dragonslayer" (2020), about three humans during the end of the War of SandWing Succession.
Four short stories called "Winglets" have been written: "Prisoner" (2015), "Assassin" (2015), "Deserter" (2016) and "Runaway" (2016). These tell stories from the view of secondary characters from the main books (Fierceteeth, Deathbringer, Six-Claws, Arctic, Foeslayer, Snowflake). These short stories have been published in print several times, most notably altogether in "The Winglets Quartet" (2020).
Several companion books to "Wings of Fire" have also been written: "Forge Your Dragon World" and an "Official Coloring Book" (both 2022). There will soon be two additional companion books: "A Guide to the Dragon World" and "How to Draw" (both 2023). The main books are also being adapted into graphic novel format.
The "Wings of Fire" series has sold 14 million copies, making it a commercial success, and it has received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics. It has developed a significant fan following.
The books' themes have also been noted. Sutherland works with several big themes in each arc, and writes the books with big emphasis on character interaction. Themes include freedom versus fate, parenting, expectations, nature versus nurture, giftedness, and the meaning of responsibility. She also explores mind-reading, prophecy and the role of magic in fantasy literature with her concept of "animus magic" - magic that comes at the cost of a dragon's soul. Additionally, Sutherland's unique religious and multicultural upbringing (being exposed to many different ideas and cultures because she's lived and traveled all over the world) has been noted.

First Mexican Republic
The republic was announced on November 1, 1823 by the Supreme Executive Power, months after the fall of the Mexican Empire ruled emperor Agustin I, a former royalist military officer-turned-insurgent for independence. The federation was formally and legally established on October 4, 1824, when the Federal Constitution of the United Mexican States came into force.
The Spanish Empire fell apart after Napoleon's invasion of Spain and the permanent end of the Spanish Bourbons in 1808. Throughout Spain and her colonies there was a widespread refusal to recognize Napoleon's brother Joseph II as the new French-backed king of Spain. The cleric Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, who had long been part of a circle of smart people who tried to reform the colonial system triggered the Mexican War of Independence in 1810 by accusing the Spanish ruling classes of seeking to recognize Joseph Bonaparte, while announcing loyalty to the imprisoned Ferdinand VII. The subsequent uprising would go on to seriously threaten the capital yet it was ultimately defeated within a year and Hidalgo was captured and executed.

Mary Ann Nichols
A person known as the Whitechapel murderer killed two more women, before Nichols was killed. Jack the Ripper most likely did not commit these murders. The murder of Mary Ann Nichols was origininally linked to this series as well. This increased both press and public interest into the criminal activity and general living conditions of the people of the East End of London.
Annie Chapman
There are previous murders, linked to a person called the Whitechapel murderer. Jack the Ripper likely did not commit them, though. Because of these murders, there had been considerable press and public attention. When Annie Chapman was killed, this generated a state of panic in the East End of London. Police were put under more and more pressure to find the murderer.
Mary Jane Kelly
The other four victims were different: they had been killed outside. Their mutilations could have been done within minutes. Kelly was murdered inside, in the room that she rented at 13 Miller's Court. This gave her murderer a lot more time to mutilate her. Her murderer disemboweled her as well. Kelly's body was the most mutilated one of all the confirmed victims. Her murderer needed about two hours to perform these mutilations.
Whitechapel murders
The Whitechapel murders is the name for a number of murders which happened in the Whitechapel district of London, between 1888 and 1891. The district lies in what is called the East End of London. Over time, up to 11 murders have been counted as "Whitechapel murders". They happened between 3 April 1888 and 13 February 1891. None of the murders have been resolved.
Some, or all of the murders have been attributed to an unidentified serial killer called Jack the Ripper. At the time when the murders happened, people living in the area were poor.
The Metropolitan Police, City of London Police, and private organisations such as the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee were actively involved in the search for the person or people who committed the murders. There were several enquiries, and several people were arrested. In the end, the people who committed the crimes were not found. The murders were never solved. The Whitechapel murders drew attention to the poor living conditions in the East End slums, which were improved later. The enduring mystery of who committed the crimes has captured public imagination to the present day.
In the late Victorian era, Whitechapel was known as an area where many poor people lived. There was also a lot of crime in the area. The area around Flower and Dean Street was described as "perhaps the foulest and most dangerous street in the whole metropolis"; Dorset Street was called "the worst street in London". Assistant Police Commissioner Robert Anderson recommended Whitechapel to "those who take an interest in the dangerous classes" as one of London's prime criminal "show places". Robbery, violence and alcohol dependency were common. There was extreme poverty, sub-standard housing, poor sanitation, homelessness, drunkenness and prostitution.
There were 233 common lodging-houses within Whitechapel, in which approximately 8,500 people slept on a nightly basis. They provided cheap communal lodgings for the desperate, the destitute and the transient, among whom were the Whitechapel murder victims. The nightly price of a single bed was 4d () and the cost of sleeping upon a "lean-to" rope stretched across the bedrooms was 2d for adults or children.
All the identified victims of the Whitechapel murders lived within the heart of the rookery in Spitalfields, including three in George Street (later named Lolesworth Street), two in Dorset Street, two in Flower and Dean Street and one in Thrawl Street.
Eleven deaths in or near Whitechapel between 1888 and 1891 were gathered into a single file, referred to in the police docket as the Whitechapel murders. Much of the original material has been either stolen, lost, or destroyed.

Jitterbug is a basic name used to describe swing dancing. It is most related with the lindy hop dance but might add things from the jive, east coast swing, collegiate shag, charleston, balboa and other swing dances.
Swing dancing origins come from the African-American groups of New York City in the early 20th century. a lot of nightclubs had a whites-only or blacks-only policy due to racial segregation, though the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem had a rule which allowed whites and blacks to dance together and it was there that the lindy hop dance thrived, started by dancers such as George Snowden and Frank Manning. The term jitterbug was originally an insult used by african-americans to describe white people who started to dance the lindy hop, as they were dancing faster and jumpier than was intended, like "jittering bugs", although it quickly lost its bad reputation as the more fluid version caught on. Both the lindy hop and the "jitterbug" became popular outside New York City when the dance was featured in Hollywood movies.
Common lodging-house
In Victorian era England, a common lodging-house was a kind of cheap hotel. There were a number of common rooms, which people used for either eating or sleeping. This meant that people who were not part of the same family ate and slept together. Today, the closest equivalent to this would probably be a hostel.
Very often, criminals and prostitutes lived in such houses. In the mid-19th century, the common lodging houses in London were in a very bad condition. This prompted the Common Lodging Houses Acts 1851 and 1853. These regulations, however proved ineffectual and the requirement that residents leave between 10 a.m. and late afternoon hit poor and sick residents hard, as they were obliged to walk the streets during this time, in all weathers.
Even tighter control was imposed when regulation of common lodging houses was transferred from the police to the London County Council in 1894. This led to higher standards and regular inspection by council officials. The new regulations required the landlords to limewash the walls and ceilings twice a year and the mixed sex accommodation, which was frequently a cover for a brothel, was abolished. Proper beds and bedding had also to be provided instead of mattresses on the floor and worse.
Elizabeth Stride
Unlike the other four Ripper victims, Stride had not been mutilated after her murder. For this reason, some historians think Stride had not actually been murdered by Jack the Ripper. However, Stride's murder occurred less than one hour before the murder of the Ripper's fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes. The murder occured within walking distance. It is thought that the murderer was disturbed by someone entering the crime scene on a two-wheeled cart. In addition, both women had been murdered by slash wounds to the throat. For these reasons, most authors and researchers consider Stride to be the third of the Ripper's five victims.
Stride was nicknamed "Long Liz". Several explanations have been given for this pseudonym; some believe it sources from her married surname (a stride being a reference to a long step), while others believe this is a reference to either her height, or her general facial structure.
Catherine Eddowes
Eddowes was murdered in the early hours of Sunday 30 September within the City of London. She was the second woman killed within an hour. Elizabeth Stride had already been killed, the same night, likely by the same person. These two murders are commonly referred to as the "double event"; a term which originates from the content of the "Saucy Jacky" postcard received at the Central News Agency on 1 October.
Part of a left human kidney, accompanied by a letter addressed "From Hell" and postmarked 15 October, was later sent to the chairman of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee, George Lusk. The author of this letter claimed the section of kidney was from Eddowes, whose left kidney had been removed, and that he had fried and eaten the other half. Most experts, however, do not believe this kidney actually originated from Eddowes's body.

Mary Ball Washington, and her husband were the parents of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Mary Ball was born on November 30, 1708, as the only child of Colonel Joseph Ball (16491711) and his second wife, Mary Johnson Ball. Joseph Ball immigrated to Virginia as a young child.

Kulturzentrum Bremgarten
It consists of a house and two factory buildings.
The Biedermeier home is located on Obertorplatz in Bremgarten. It was built in 1838 by a builder called Fidel Leimbacher. It housed many famous people before it went to the brothers Max and Simon Meyer. They started a business there in 1893, making clothes for men and for people who work for a job. The factory grew bigger and better. It is a typical example of a small factory and an important example of New Building (this is a special type of building). The core building (main part) is a two-storey Biedermeier house with an attic (a special room under the roof). There are also other parts that were added to the back in 1880, 1911/1912 and 1928/1929.
The "Meyer & Co." factory building was built in 1928/1929. The architect's name is Johann Emil Ganz. It is made of concrete, has a lot of windows and is flat on the top. It follows the ideas of the New Building Movement (a group of people who wanted buildings to look a certain way). There are two big rooms in the building, which measure 12 x 19.6 metres. They are very bright. It is an example of factory architecture of pre-modernism. It shows the rich history of the clothing factory.
Today, the building complex does not look the same. It is included (listed) in the "Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites (ISOS)" (a list of places that are important to Swiss history and culture) because this place is important for Bremgarten.
In June 1990, some young people took control of the buildings. That had not been used for a long time. A Spanish club and a single person lived in the living part of the building. The squatters turned the building into an "autonomous space" (a place where they could do whatever they wanted). They built a half pipe (a U-shaped ramp for skateboarding) and two band rooms (places for musical groups to practice) in the basement. Max Meyer, one of the owners, knew they were using the building, but he did nothing. That's why the authorities couldn't do anything. So the factory project ran until New Year's Day 1991.
In spring 1991, the squatters started the . They wanted to talk about a rent with the owners. But the discussions did not work. In April 1991, the city had said they must leave.
But parties were still held in the old buildings. On 7 December 1991, a group of people with extreme right-wing views entered the factory and tried to take over. The owners had to close the buildings by 15 February 1992. At the same time, the electricity company threatened to cut off the power.
The activists started a fresh attempt to form the organization "KuZeB" to keep up. They made a concept of use and gave it to the owners of the property and the authorities. There was a suggestion to close the building. But the activists argued and asked the owners not to and the owners said yes. The people liked it and the city government confirmed that they never said no to renting.
So 18 March 1992 is the day when the "Kulturzentrum Bremgarten" started.
The Whitsun market was very popular (an annual event). In August 1992, the Spanish club moved away and KuZeB took over the place. On 27 August 1992 KuZeB signed a rental contract which was not returned (agreed to by the other side). But the relatives of the previous owner of the factory still get a small rent since 30 years. The rest is 'squatted'. Now the concept for how the building will be used was put in place bit by bit.
Now, KuZeB is the oldest self-governing social centre in Switzerland, it comes without any public money.
On 7 June 2002, the police of Aargau canton searched the Kulturzentrum Bremgarten. They took a banner that was hanging from the house. The banner had a symbol of a swastika crossed out inside a sign that means "no." The search happened because someone was accused of breaking the law against racism. In a statement, the people who run KuZeB described the action as both strange and a form of political satire.
Authorities tried to control the KuZeB. They made a rule which would have put the centre under the rules for providing a place to stay. That would have meant the end of KuZeB. But the government decided that KuZeB should not be thought of as a business and so was not covered by the hospitality law.
On 29 May 2018, a group of police searched the buildings. A young man from Aargau is suspected of having done bad things in Hamburg during the G20 riots. He was not there when the police searched. But they searched his home and the social centre anyway and took many data carriers (things that can store information, like a computer or a phone). Later he was arrested (taken into custody) near Winterthur.
Andreas Glarner is a hardliner of the SVP (Swiss People's Party, a party and politician who holds strong right-wing views). He wants to remove the KuZeB. Max Meyer has people who want to buy the KuZeB, but he doesn't want to sell it. Bremgarten had been in the news in 2013. Asylum seekers (people looking for safety) were forbidden to go to public institutions. Glarner said that he would buy the building to prevent asylum seekers from going to KuZeB. Then unknown persons sprayed paint the meeting place of the SVP general meeting. Now Glarner is even more against the KuZeB.
The KuZeB has many things to offer. There are concerts, readings, film screenings and lectures. It has two stages with bars, a cinema (for watching films), a hackerspace (for people interested in computer technology), a freeshop (a shop where people can get things for free), an infoshop (a shop where people can get information), studios for sewing (using fabric to make clothes), printing and painting. It also has a wood and metal workshop (for making things out of wood or metal), a multi-purpose hall (a room for many different kinds of activities) with a half-pipe (for skateboarding) and a fitness area (for exercising), a room for bands (for rehearsing music) and a large garden. You can do a lot there.
KuZeB wants to find new ways in which everyone has equal rights and responsibilities. These ideas include humanity (being kind and caring), solidarity (working together), freedom of expression (being able to say what you think), trust (believing people), integration (bringing different people together), diversity (having different types of people) and openness (being welcoming). These paths are to show others that there are other possibilities. The association offers young people the chance to try out their ideas.
