Kuzma, Kuzma

Kuzma (; in older sources also Kuzdoblan, Prekmurje Slovene: Küzdobljan, ) is a settlement in the Municipality of Kuzma in the Prekmurje region in northeastern Slovenia, on the borders with Austria and Hungary.

Name
Kuzma was attested in written sources in 1387 as Zalocha and Zaloucha, and as Kuzma in 1763–87. The name Kuzma is derived from the Slovene saint's name Kozma 'Cosmas'. Locally, the settlement is known as Kuzdobljan, which is derived through contraction of Koz(ma in) Damijan 'Cosmas and Damian', referring to the local church.

Church
The local church in the village is dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Murska Sobota. Since 1964, it has been a parish church. It dates to the first half of the 19th century and was dedicated in 1863. The nave was built upon the plans by the architect Majda Nerima from 28 April 1963 until 1 December that year. That is when the church was used for the worship service for the first time. The interior of the church was decorated in 1964 by the painter Lojze Perko, who used the sgraffito technique.

Franco Uncini

Franco Uncini (born 9 March 1955) is an Italian former professional Grand Prix motorcycle road racing. He was 1982 FIM Road Racing World Champion with Suzuki. He was inducted into the F.I.M. MotoGP Hall of Fame in 2016.


Career
Uncini was born at Recanati, province of Macerata. He made his debut as professional motorcycle road racer in the 750cc class with Laverda, moving later to Ducati, with whom he earned various titles as Italian champion. His first year in the Grand Prix World Championship was with Yamaha in 1976, in both the 250cc and the 350cc classes. The following year he continued to race in both classes, this time with the Harley-Davidson team, winning two Grands Prix in 250cc (Grand Prix of Nations and Czechoslovakia) and finishing second in championship behind Mario Lega. However, his quarrelsome relationship with teammate Walter Villa forced him to move back to Yamaha.

After some disappointing years with a privateer Yamaha team, in 1979 he purchased a Suzuki RG500 and launched a private team of his own in the 500cc class. He was the top-ranking privateer both in 1979 and 1980, with 5th- and 4th-place finishes. Accidents hindered his 1981 season, but after Marco Lucchinelli left Suzuki to join Honda, Suzuki offered Uncini an official factory-sponsored race bike run by Roberto Gallina's team. Finally, with a competitive vehicle, Uncini won the World Championship in 1982, scoring five victories (GPs of Austria, Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Great Britain and GP of Nations). He was the last Italian rider to win the 500cc crown until Valentino Rossi won in 2001, and for almost two decades the last European rider to win 500cc before Alex Criville won his title in 1999.

In 1983, he was severely injured at TT-Assen (The Netherlands), when he fell off his bike and was struck in the head by competitor Wayne Gardner's bike. He went into a coma, but eventually recovered. He retired from motorcycle competition after the 1985  season.

Today, Uncini acts as Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme Safety Officer in MotoGP.

Are You Ready (Shakaya album)

Are You Ready is the second and the final album by Australian girl duo Shakaya, released on 5 March 2006 by Columbia Records. It was produced by Billy Mann and Christopher Rojas and features urban R&B songs—written by Shakaya themselves and Audius Mtawarira, Daniel O'Donoghue, Ruth-Anne Cunningham and Jonathan Davis.

It is the final album from the group, as they disbanded later in the year.

La Goulette

La Goulette (, ), in Arabic Halq al-Wadi ( ), is a municipality and the port of Tunis, Tunisia. 

La Goulette is located at around  on a sandbar between Lake Tūnis and the Gulf of Tunis. The port, located 12km east of Tunis, is the point of convergence of Tunisia's major road and rail networks. La Goulette is linked to Tunis by the TGM railway and to Europe by a ferry service.

Origin of the name 
The name derives from the "gullet" or "river's throat", a channel where the city is located, and not from the ship type schooner, called goélette, gulet, goleta or goletta in French, Turkish, Spanish and Italian.

Transit activities 
In addition to its transit and cruise activities, the port of La Goulette also receives ships carrying cargoes such as cars, bulk cereals. It handles a large portion of the country's imports and much of its exports (principally phosphates, iron ore, and fruits and vegetables).

However, the development plan of the port provides for its specialization as a port exclusively reserved for passenger and tourist traffic.

History 
The kasbah fortress was built in 1535 by Charles I of Spain, but was captured by the Ottoman Turks in 1574. The remains of Hispano-Turkish fortifications lie inland.

The port was a popular destination for summer holidays in the 19th century, known as 'la petite Sicile'. It was also home to a sizeable Jewish, Italian, and Maltese community.

The town and port were part of World War II Operation Torch.

Stephen Taber

Stephen Taber (March 7, 1821 – April 23, 1886) was a farmer and businessman from New York. A Democrat, he was most notable for his service as a U.S. Representative from 1865 to 1869.

Biography
Taber was born in Dover, New York on March 7, 1821, the son of Thomas Taber II and Phebe (Titus) Taber. He was educated in Dover and Poughkeepsie, moved to Queens, New York and engaged in farming and business.

In addition to farming, Taber assisted in organizing the Long Island North Shore Transportation Company in 1861 and served as its president for several years. He was also a director of the Long Island Rail Road. After moving to Roslyn, New York, he became the first president of the Roslyn Savings Bank in 1876. Taber also helped establish a steamboat route between Roslyn and New York City. As a booster of Roslyn's local economy, Taber took steps to make the village a tourist attraction, including constructing an observation tower and picnic area at the top of Harbor Hill, where Clarence Hungerford Mackay later constructed a mansion.

Political career 
A Democrat, Taber was a member of the New York State Assembly (Queens Co., 1st D.) in 1860 and 1861.

Congress 
In 1864 he was elected to the United States House of Representatives. He was reelected in 1866, and served in the 39th and 40th Congresses (March 4, 1865 – March 3, 1869).

Death 
Taber died in New York City on April 23, 1886. He was buried at Roslyn Cemetery in Roslyn.

Family
In 1845, Taber married Rosetta M. Townsend. They were the parents of five children—Samuel T., William T., Adelaide, Gertrude, and Thomas T.

Taber was the first cousin of George T. Pierce, who served in the New York State Assembly and New York State Senate.

Charles Guillaume Le Normant d'Étiolles

Charles-Guillaume Le Normant d'Étiolles (8 May 1717 – 18 March 1799) is best known as being the husband of Madame de Pompadour or Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, the illustrious mistress of King Louis XV of France.

Life

A scion of a family of officials from Orléans, his father was Hervé-Guillaume Le Normant du Fort, trésorier général des Monnaies. His uncle was the financier Le Normant de Tournehem in 1741, a tax farmer  and legal guardian of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson.  By arrangement of his uncle, Le Normant d'Étiolles married Madame de Pompadour in 1741. He also followed his uncle as a financier.

The couple had two children, a boy in 1741, who died the year following his birth, and a daughter, Alexandrine-Jeanne d'Étiolles, nicknamed "Fanfan", born on 10 August 1744. She died in June 1754 at the age of 9 years old from a stomach ailment, possibly peritonitis.

In June 1745, Louis XV, who had taken a particular liking to Madame de Pompadour, (1721 –1764) arranged for her to become his official mistress, a position she came by with the blessing of her husband's father. Louis XV offered Le Normant the position of ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, to remove him from the scene, but he refused.  Louis then arranged a legal separation of Madame de Pompadour from her husband.  He was devastated and never forgave his wife for her treachery. He consoled himself with affairs with other women in Paris, having several children.  After Pompadour's death, he discreetly married Marie-Aimée Maltha, formerly a dancer and the mother of his children, and they lived quietly at the manoir de Baillon, near the Royaumont Abbey.

He and his new wife were detained for over a year in the Reign of Terror.  Later released, Charles-Guillaume died peacefully in his home on the rue du Sentier.

Anangeon

Anangeon (, "necessary"), also known as dicaeologia (, "a plea in defense"), is a specious method of argument, in which the basis lies in inevitability or necessity. For example, "Yes, I missed school today, but I was sick and wouldn't have learned anything anyway," is an argument that ignores the need to go to school, mitigating the controversy of not going.  It is used to limit or contradict fault in a matter.

Anangeon can be seen as a part of logos and is a type of non sequitur.

Expansive Poetry

Expansive Poetry is a movement in United States poetry that began in the 1980s.  It is an umbrella term coined by Wade Newman for the movements of New Formalism and New Narrative, and the term is controversial even among many of the writers it purports to describe. Although more New Formalism and New Narrative poets have gained prominence in recent years, as evidenced by the number of books and anthologies they have published and the rapid expansion of the West Chester University Poetry Conference, the term "Expansive Poetry" is increasingly rarely used.

Skira

The festival of the Skira () or Skirophoria () in the calendar of ancient Athens, closely associated with the Thesmophoria, marked the dissolution of the old year in May/June.

Description 
At Athens, the last month of the year was Skirophorion, after the festival. Its most prominent feature was the procession that led out of Athens to a place called Skiron near Eleusis, in which the priestess of Athena, the priest of Poseidon, and in later times, the priest of Helios, took part, under a ceremonial canopy called the skiron, which was held up by the Eteoboutadai. Their joint temple on the Acropolis was the Erechtheum, where Poseidon embodied as Erechtheus remained a numinous presence.

At Skiron there was a sanctuary dedicated to Demeter/Kore and one to Athena.

As a festival of dissolution, the Skira was a festival proverbial for license, in which men played dice games, but a time also of daytime fasting, and of the inversion of the social order, for the bonds of marriage were suspended, as women banded together and left the quarters where they were ordinarily confined, to eat garlic together "according to ancestral custom", and to sacrifice and feast together, at the expense of the men. The Skira is the setting for Aristophanes' comedy Ecclesiazusae (393 BCE), in which the women seize the opportunity afforded by the festival, to hatch their plot to overthrow male domination.

Mateur

Mateur ( ) is a town in northern Tunisia. It is located at around , close to the Lac Ichkeul National Park.

Overview 

Located in the southwest of the governorate of Bizerte, Mateur is the county seat of a delegation of 61,919 inhabitants (2006) while its town counts 49,785 inhabitants divided in 8735 families and occupy 7120 accommodation according to the magazine edited by the municipality of Mateur (edition 2006).

Concerning the etymological root of the name of the city, some people see a Latin origin : Matarensis would have been the name of an oppidum located on the site of Mateur during the ancient period. It is also known in different epochs under other names as Materense, Matarus, Matari, Mataris, Matar and Mataritanae. On the other hand, the Arabists see a rapprochement with the term of Matra (in the plural Amtar) which means "precipitation", referring to the rainfall level of the region.
 
This city, the first town council of which is installed on October 12, 1898, was considered to be an important strategical point during the Second World War. It is to note that the municipality of Mateur celebrated the 110th birthday during year 2008.

The city is located in the middle of a first-rate agrarian region owing to the fecundity of the lands of the ambient lowland. An important market is held there every Friday and Saturday in the course of which they notably sell there the stock and grain. It unites producers of the neighbouring localities (Jefna, Joumine, Bazina, Sedjenane, Ghezala, etc.) and purchasers come from whole Tunisia. Mateur counts also 2 industrial zones where is installed about twenty foreign firms working in various areas: wiring, mechanics, telecommunications, textile industry, etc.

National parks 

Nearby is the national park of Ichkeul, which contains sites protected by many international institutions (UNESCO and WWF), owing to the diversity of its fauna and its flora. It shelters the lake of the same name which is the biggest natural lake of North Africa.

Education 

Nowadays, the city has two establishments of higher education:

 Graduate school of agriculture
 Higher institute of applied sciences and technology (ISSAT Mateur)

The theological writer and biographer William Henry Simcox was his brother, and the activist Edith Jemima Simcox his sister. The Simcoxes were well known and well connected in English intellectual circles; Edith was a friend of George Eliot's, and William wrote the first major biography of Barnabe Barnes, the famous 16th-century poet and patron of William Shakespeare.

George died in unexplained circumstances on the Irish coast near the Giant's Causeway.

Majaz al Bab

Majaz al Bab (), also known as Medjez el Bab, or as Membressa under the Roman Empire, is a town in northern Tunisia. It is located at the intersection of roads GP5 and GP6, in the Plaine de la Medjerda.

Commonwealth war grave site
There is a Commonwealth War Grave site at Majaz al Bab, largely dedicated to those who fell during the North African campaign, including Operation Torch and the Tunisia Campaign, during World War II.

The Medjez-El-Bab Memorial commemorates almost 2,000 men of the British First Army who died during the operations in Algeria and Tunisia between 8 November 1942 and 19 February 1943, and those of the British First and British Eighth Armies who died in operations in the same areas between 20 February and 13 May 1943, and who have no known graves. The memorial stands within Medjez-El-Bab War Cemetery where 2,903 Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War are buried or commemorated. 385 of the burials are unidentified. Special memorials commemorate three soldiers buried in Tunis (Borgel) Cemetery and one in Youks-les-Bains Cemetery, whose graves are now lost. The five First World War burials in Medjez-el-Bab War Cemetery were brought in from Tunis (Belvedere) Cemetery or Carthage (Basilica Karita) Cemetery in 1950.

Haouanet
The haouanet at Majaz al Bab are extensive. Haouanet (plural of the word hanout (حانوت), which means "shop" in Arabic) are ancient sepulchral chambers hollowed out of the rock.  Of approximately cubic form, and 1.25 to 2.50 meters long, with an entrance of almost constant dimension of 1.80 meters by 60 centimeters, they are found mainly in Tunisia and the eastern regions of Algeria. These burials, with one or more funeral chambers, sometimes had interior fittings (bench or pit).  Presumably of Numidian origin, the haouanet were used until the Roman Empire.

Antiquity
During the Roman Empire Majaz al Bab was a civitas of the Roman province of Africa Proconsolaris called Membressa, and was the site of the Battle of the Bagradas River (536) where the Byzantine general Belisarius was victorious over the rebel Stotzas. It was also the seat of a Christian Bishopric; a Bishop Victor attended the Concilium Lateranense in 649.

There was also a Roman settlement at Chaouach outside of Medjez-El-Bab called Suas. During the Roman Empire this part of the Medjerda river valley had a high density of bishoprics, with four other bishops resident within 10 kilometers of the Majaz al Bab.

Setermoen

Setermoen is the administrative centre of Bardu Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway.  The village is located along the Barduelva river, about  east of the village of Sjøvegan and about  south of Bardufoss.

The local council proclaimed city status for Setermoen in 1999, but this was rejected by the government of Norway since the municipality has less than 5,000 inhabitants.  The  village has a population (2017) of 2,464 which gives the village a population density of .

Location
Setermoen is located along the river Barduelva, and on the shores of Sætervatnet lake in the middle of the Bardudalen valley.  It is about  south of Andselv/Bardufoss Airport and about  east of the town of Harstad. The European route E6 highway runs right through the center of Setermoen.  Both the Bardu Church and the Setermoen military camp are located in Setermoen.

Setermoen Camp
Military education was established at Setermoen in 1898 because of its strategic location in the midst of the mountains, and is one of the oldest army camps in Norway today. In many ways, the Norwegian Armed Forces has shaped Setermoen and the community through its presence.

Altogether, about 1,000 soldiers and 500 officers are stationed here, making it the largest garrison in Norway.  Stationed at Setermoen are the following battalions, which are part of Brigade Nord:
Artilleribataljonen (artillery battalion)
Panserbataljonen (armoured battalion)
Sanitetsbataljonen (medical battalion)
Etteretningsbataljonen (intelligence battalion)

In 2007, the government began a massive renovation program at Setermoen. Most of the main buildings and barracks were torn down and new ones built. Costs of the project were nearly  (about US$155 million). The reason for the project was the end of the Cold War and the reorganization of the Norwegian Army from a mere mobilization force into a modern professional force, as this requires a lot more follow-up to the troops and better standards to attract more volunteers.

Gramática do Kamaiurá, Língua Tupi-Guarani do Alto Xingu

Gramática do Kamaiurá, Língua Tupi-Guarani do Alto Xingu, by Lucy Seki,  is an authoritative and comprehensive description of Kamayurá, an indigenous language of Brazil.

Kamayurá is spoken by the people of the same name, which number about 290 as of 2005, living in two villages in the Xingu Indigenous Park, Brazil.

Book description
The book has 482 pages of text, plus 17 pages of color photos of the Kamayurá. Its thoroughness and completeness set it apart from most other books on American Indian languages, which usually give only an incomplete overview of their subject.

The book covers all aspects of the language, from phonology to anaphora and discourse structure. Moreover, the book is written in precise but readable Portuguese, avoiding the unnecessary use of technical jargon and theoretical discussions.  While not a textbook, this feature makes it accessible to non-linguists who have only basic knowledge of grammatical concepts.

The information given in the book was provided by native Kamayurá speakers, some of them monolingual.  The author recorded, transcribed an analyzed a corpus of over 40 narratives in Kamayurá. The text includes 16 pages on the history and culture of the Kamayurá, two maps of the Xingu reservation and its Indian villages, a lexicon with some 1200 words, about 1500 examples of analyzed phrases and sentences, a 10-page bibliography, and a fully analyzed 100-line excerpt from one of those narratives.

Testimonials
From the preface by linguist Bernard Comrie: The Kamayurá Grammar of Dr. Seki is one of the best grammars of a living Brazilian indigenous languages that I had the privilege of reading [...] It is also the first modern comprehensive descriptive grammar of a Brazilian indigenous language written by a Brazilian.

From the back cover endorsement by linguist R. M. W. Dixon: In fact, Dr. Seki's book on the Kamayurá is the first comprehensive grammar of an Indian language by a Brazilian since Anchieta's description of Tupinambá in 1595.
