The city was originally called La Higuerita (English: The Little Fig Tree), also La Figarilla or La Figuerta (depending on the language) when it was founded in 1755. The name was christened as Real Isla de La Higuerita (English: Royal Island of the Little Fig Tree) in 1802.

Symbols 
The city's main symbols are the water well, the fig tree and the sea, which reflect the culture and history of the city.

Roger Nimier

Roger Nimier (31 October 1925 – 28 September 1962) was a French novelist.

Life

Nimier was born in Paris, and served in the French Army, specifically in the 2nd Hussard Regiment in the Second World War (until 1945).
He began to write quite early in his life. His first novel, Les Épées (The Swords) was published in 1948, when he was only 23.

Nimier was the recognized leader of the Hussards, a literary group which included notably Antoine Blondin, Michel Déon and Jacques Laurent, opposed to existentialism. He was opposed to the figure of the "engaged writer" symbolized by Jean-Paul Sartre.

Nimier most famous work is considered to be The Blue Hussar published in 1950. Nimier also wrote in monarchist review La Nation française. He also worked with director Louis Malle on the screenplay for Malle's 1958 film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud.

The Roger Nimier Prize was established in 1963 and goes to "a young author whose spirit is in line with the literary works of Roger Nimier".

Carl Winberg

Carl Winberg, (born 6 July 1867 in Karlstad, died 22 February 1954 in Stockholm) was a Swedish communist politician and newspaper editor.

Biography
Winberg was worked as a locomotive cleaner from 1891 to 1906 and belonged to the Kilboms faction in the Swedish Communist Party. He was a member of the Swedish Rail Workers’ Union from 1906 to 1909, a faction in the Swedish Trade Union Confederation, and in 1909 became an editor for the union's newspaper Signalen.

He was from 1911 to 1914 an Member of Parliament (social democrat) in the Swedish Riksdag's lower house (also known as Andra kammaren or Second Chamber) for the Stockholm City constituency and from 1912 till 1914 for Stockholm City second constituency. He wasn't reelected at the March general elections but returned in the September general election and served from 1914Sep till 1917 (social democrat) for the same constituency. Together with the left-socialist opposition inside the social democrats, he left the party in 1917 and formed Sweden's Social Democratic Left Party, with the Social Democratic Left-Group as their parliament party. From the early Riksdag from 1919 to 1930 (communist) Winberg belonged to the upper house of the Riksdag (första kammaren or First Chamber) for the constituency of Norrbotten County until 1921 and from 1922 onwards, he served the constituency of Västerbotten and Norrbotten County.

Winberg belonged to the faction inside the Social Democratic Left Party that changed the name from Social Democratic Left Party (SSV) to Sweden's Communist Party in 1921. During the 1924 split in the communist party, he joined the Moscow-friendly faction, and when there was another split in the Moscow-friendly faction in 1929, Winberg joined the Kilboms-faction that later became the Socialist Party. Together with Ture Nerman, they were the only two communists in the First Chamber.

Later in 1929, Winberg was expelled together with the majority of the Communist Party's members as the Party followed the Stalinist course. In the 1930s, Winberg was active in the Communist opposition led by Karl Kilbom, independent from Moscow and opposing Stalinism.

Winberg's memoir titled From Kvarnberget to Helgeandsholmen: the fate of a crofter's boy's fate (Från Kvarnberget till Helgeandsholmen : en torparpojkes livsöden) was published in 1945.

Revolutionary committee
In 1917 during the Russian Revolution, and the  (Swedish July riots), Winberg had assembled a secret revolutionary committee with the purpose of appointing a revolutionary government. It was decided to pause the development of the committee and to wait for a signal.

1973–74 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup

The 8th World Cup season began in December 1973 and concluded in March 1974. Piero Gros of Italy won the overall title, denying the runner-up, countryman Gustav Thöni, a fourth straight overall title. Annemarie Pröll of Austria won the women's overall title, her fourth of five consecutive.

The break in the schedule was for the 1974 World Championships, held February 3–10 at St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Due to the growth of the professional skiing tour (especially in the United States), which now featured World Cup winning stars such as Jean-Claude Killy, Karl Schranz, Patrick Russel, and Jean-Noël Augert,  no World Cup races were held in North America for the first time in its history; the next time this happened was during the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020-21 season.  Instead, the entire 1973–74 season took place in Europe.

Zwanenburg

Zwanenburg () is a town in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, and lies about 11 km west of Amsterdam.

Zwanenburg has a population of around 7,670.

History

Zwanenburg takes its name from Gemeenlandshuis Zwanenburg, the former headquarters of the Hoogheemraadschap Rijnland, a water board that used to have its headquarters in Halfweg, on the other side of the canal known today as the Ringvaart. Up until the 19th century, Zwanenburg was under water. When the pumping station at Halfweg had succeeded in making the land ripe for building, the workers who had settled at Halfweg purchased this cheap land below the dike for their homes. The infrastructure linking Halfweg to Haarlem and Amsterdam was already quite good, so Zwanenburg became a true commuter town. Halfweg was also the site of the Halfweg sugar factory, first opened in 1863, that served as an employer for Zwanenburg residents for more than a century. For this reason, the history of Zwanenburg cannot be seen separately from the history of Halfweg.

1971–72 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup

The 6th World Cup season began in December 1971 in Switzerland and concluded in March 1972 in France.  Gustav Thöni of Italy won his second of three consecutive overall titles.  Annemarie Pröll of Austria won the women's overall title, her second of five consecutive.

A break in the schedule in February was for the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan.  Prior to the Olympics, International Olympic Committee head Avery Brundage succeeded in having two-time men's overall World Cup champion Karl Schranz reclassified as a professional and therefore ineligible for the Olympics.  Schranz retired from amateur competition immediately thereafter and joined the professional skiing tour in 1973.

The controversy over "professionalism" (based on endorsements, manufacturers' fees, et cetera) continued for two more seasons,  and served to limit both participation and the number of events on the World Cup circuit.  Prior to the 1975 season, Brundage's successor Lord Killanin led an effort that changed the rule to permit such payments to be made to national associations, which generally eliminated such disputes.

Audrey had two brief marriages that ended in divorce before, marrying film producer and real estate developer Jack Skirball. The couple were deeply involved in philanthropy, largely in support of Reform Judaism. They planned and funded the construction of the Skirball Cultural Center. Jack died in 1985, shortly before the center opened.

In 1987 Audrey married wine importer Charles Kenis. Together they established the Audrey Skirball-Kenis Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, as well as being involved in a variety of other philanthropic projects.

A long-time horse racing fan, Audrey Skirball had joined with friends in 1972 to purchase a thoroughbred, then established the 3 Plus U Stable, which became quite successful.  Charles Kenis joined his new wife in this pursuit and became a founder and eventually director emeritus of the Thoroughbred Owners of California.

ASK
Audrey and Charles founded the non-profit Audrey Skirball-Kenis Theater Projects (ASK) in West Los Angeles. Audrey did not actively manage ASK, but Charles served as president of ASK's board of trustees.

In 1990, Audrey and Charles, through ASK, made a highly publicized donation of $500,000 to the Los Angeles Arts Festival's theater and performance programs. The donation saved the festival from closing, and was ceremonially accepted in the Los Angeles mayor's office by Peter Sellers, the festival's director.

Soon, ASK emerged with a reputation as Los Angeles' primary funder of small new theatrical projects. In 2000, ASK spent and gave a total of $1.8 million to charitable activities.

Death
Audrey Skirball-Kenis died on June 19, 2002, at age 87 in Los Angeles. She had two daughters, and two stepchildren. Charles Kenis died in Los Angeles on July 21, 2006.

1968 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup

The 2nd World Cup season began in January in West Germany and concluded in April in the US Jean-Claude Killy of France repeated as the overall champion, and announced his retirement from World Cup competition.  Nancy Greene of Canada repeated as the women's World Cup overall champion, and announced her retirement from World Cup competition.

For the only time, the results of the Winter Olympics were included in the season standings.  Future Olympic results were not included as World Cup races, nor were World Championship results after 1970.  However, the inclusion of the Olympics was irrelevant to the final outcome, as both Killy and Greene would have won the season titles had the Olympics been excluded.

Purgatory (song)

"Purgatory" is Iron Maiden's fifth single, released on 15 June 1981, and would be their last with singer Paul Di'Anno. It served as the second single from Killers. The single was reissued in 1990, on the same CD and 12" vinyl as the EP Maiden Japan, in the First Ten Years box set.

History

According to drummer Nicko McBrain, the track is a remake of one of the band's earlier songs, entitled "Floating", of which "Purgatory" is a faster re-arrangement. It was the group's least successful single as it failed to break into the Top 50 in the UK charts, although the group's manager, Rod Smallwood, states that this was because "it wasn't really a single, it was just lifted off the album which the fans already had."

Most notably, the single's original cover artwork was withdrawn for use on the band's next studio album, The Number of the Beast. Smallwood recalls that, on being presented with the original cover, "we said, 'No, that's much too good,' so we kept it for the album. We had the artwork months before we had the music." This meant that the band's artist, Derek Riggs, had to come up with a replacement, this time illustrating the Devil's face rotting away to reveal the band's mascot, Eddie's, face underneath.

A Ghost in Monte Carlo

A Ghost in Monte Carlo is a 1951 novel by Barbara Cartland.

It was the gayest season Monte Carlo had ever known, Mademoiselle Fantôme was causing a sensation. Who was the exquisite "ghost", with her shining golden hair and dreaming dark eyes? Why did her formidable aunt guard her so carefully? Even Mademoiselle herself did not understand the seductive role she was playing. But her troubled young heart knew that evil was drawing close to her, that she was a pawn in a mysterious plot to avenge an old wrong.  Too late, she discovered that jealousy and bitterness were threatening to destroy her new-found love.

Film
The book was adapted for made-for-television film in 1990 starring Lysette Anthony, Marcus Gilbert, Sarah Miles and Oliver Reed.

Synopsis 
Eighteen-year-old Mistral is an innocent abroad in the sophisticated Côte D'Azur, Monte Carlo, where princes and millionaires mingle in the casinos and sumptuous hotels. Accompanied only by her embittered and domineering Aunt Emilie and kindly servant Jeanne, Mistral appears dressed all in grey like a ghost in the salons and ballrooms of Monte Carlo and sets Society's tongues wagging. It's not long before the whole of Monte Carlo are trying to find out who she really is, her waif-like beauty has men bewitched and falling in love – gentlemen such as Sir Robert Stanford. But on her aunt's bewildering but strict instructions, she must not converse with any but the Russian Prince Nikolai. Something about Mistral touches Sir Robert's heart – and he cannot understand why Mistral appears afraid to be with him. Yet both of them crave love. Only if Mistral's innocent eyes are finally opened to the truth – that Aunt Emilie's motives are borne not of concern for her niece but of bitterness and a hatred for men.

1967 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup

The 1st World Cup races began in early January in West Germany and concluded in late March in the United States. Jean-Claude Killy of France dominated the men's competition, winning each of the three disciplines and the overall title.  Nancy Greene of Canada edged out Marielle Goitschel of France for the women's overall title, her first of two consecutive titles, defending successfully in 1968.

Killy's 12 race wins for the season (amazingly, out of only 17 races during the season) stood as the record for wins in a season by a skier (male or female) until Ingemar Stenmark won 13 races in 1978-79.

Stratonicea (Lydia)

Stratonicea – () also transliterated as Stratoniceia and Stratonikeia, earlier Indi, and later for a time Hadrianapolis – was an ancient city in the valley of the Caicus river, between Germe and Acrasus, in Lydia, Anatolia; its site is currently near the village of Siledik, in the district of Kırkağaç, Manisa Province, in the Aegean Region of Turkey.

Description
The foundation of the city dates from the Hellenistic period, probably on the site of an older settlement, Indi.  One source names Eumenes II as the founder, who named the city after his wife, Stratonice.  However, as several Seleucid leaders also had wives named "Stratonice", the identification of the actual founder is not unchallenged.  
In antiquity, Stratonicea minted its own coins from the late 2nd  century BC irregularly until the reign of Gallienus, in the mid-3rd century AD.  By 130 BC, Thyatira had annexed the city which had become merely a village.  Stratonicea regained importance during Trajan's reign. Emperor Hadrian renamed the city Hadrianopolis after himself.  Archaeological finds from the site are preserved in a museum in Manisa.

Bishopric
The ancient bishopric of Stratonicea in Lydia is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees. The only titular bishop of the see was Alphonse Bermyn, who was appointed on 15 April 1901 and died on 16 February 1915.

The woman drinks a mixture of lime juice and coconut milk, becomes sick, and calls the doctor. The doctor, annoyed at being woken up, tells her to drink the same thing again and call in the morning.

Music
An arpeggiated C7 chord accompanies the song throughout.
