Animals Are Beautiful People

Animals Are Beautiful People (also called Beautiful People) is a 1974 South African nature documentary written, produced, directed, filmed and edited by Jamie Uys, about the wildlife in Southern Africa, presented with comedic elements. It was filmed in the Namib Desert, the Kalahari Desert and at the Okavango River and Okavango Delta. It was the recipient of the 1974 Golden Globe Award for Best Documentary Film.

The film, a critical and commercial success, was independently made by Uys, also known for his later African comedy The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980).

General description

The film begins in the Namib desert, with the narrator saying: "You'd think nobody could make a living here." But the film proves the opposite and shows the lives of the animals that live there.
The narrator concludes: "But to the Oryx and the little creatures of the Namib, this waterless, hostile desert is paradise."

The second third of the film shows the rich life at the Okavango River and Okavango Delta and the last third of the film focuses on life in the Kalahari desert.

Criticisms

One scene depicts baboons, elephants, giraffes, warthogs and other African animals eating fermented fruit of the Marula tree. The animals then appear intoxicated, and they stagger around to comic effect, before nightfall comes and they fall asleep. In the morning, we see one baboon wake up, disheveled, next to a warthog, and quietly exit the burrow, as not to wake her. Some experts have claimed that some scenes were likely staged; elephants would be too large, for example, and drink too much water (diluting the alcohol) to get intoxicated.

Classical music

The film uses classical music and especially well-known pieces to support a scene. A few examples:
 "Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5" with acrobatic baboons
 Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers", showing the miracle of the blooming desert
 Weber's "Invitation to the Dance" orchestrated by Berlioz, featuring the animals' celebration of Paradise's return
 Smetana's "Die Moldau", throughout the movie, especially during the river scenes
 Franz Liszt's "Les préludes, symphonic poem No.3", near the end of the film, during the cloud formation scene
 Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Reed Flutes"

Featured species

This incomplete list does include almost all mentioned species.

Espagnac

Espagnac (; ) is a commune in the Corrèze department in central France.

Geography
The landscape is typically wooded hills.

Economy
The main economic activity is cattle raising though it now benefits from the recent trend of rural tourism.

History
Though evidences of neolithic and Celtic occupation exist on the commune's territory, the village itself was probably only founded during or after the Gallo-Roman era, near the site of a villa not yet excavated. Some evidences suggest the presence of other villas and of a tile factory. The name of the village if of Latin origin, possibly derived from a family name.

During the Middle Ages, Espagnac seems to have become a dwelling of local importance, as attested by the existence of a Merovingian mint (three gold coins with the mention "Spaniaco Fit" have been found), of a large cemetery where sarcophagi have been exhumed and of an abbey. It seems to have been the head of a Carolingian vicaria. The first written mention of its name appears in the will of Adhemar des Echelles, around 930 AD.

Then dependent on the abbey of Tulle, Espagnac devolved during the late Middle Ages, and both the abbey and the church were burnt down by the troops of Gaspard de Coligny during the Wars of Religion. The current church dates back from the late 16th century. A small restored Carolingian Chapel and the privately owned medieval castle of Puy-de-Val are also present on the territory of the commune.

Ӕ (Cyrillic)

Ae (Ӕ ӕ; italics: Ӕ ӕ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, used exclusively in the Ossetian language to represent the near open central vowel . Its ISO 9 transliteration is ⟨æ⟩ but some transliteration schemes may render it as ⟨ä⟩. It looks identical to the letter Æ (Æ æ Æ æ) in the Latin script.

History
The letter was first used in Anders Johan Sjögren's Ossetian Cyrillic alphabet in 1844 and appeared first in fiction and poetry books published at the beginning of the 20th century. It was preserved during the shift to a Latin alphabet and the reversion to a Cyrillic alphabet. It is one of the most common letters in the Ossetian language.

The letter was also found in the Lezgin alphabets of 1871 and 1911, the 1892 Dargwa alphabet and the 1875 Tabasaran alphabet.

Penman & Greenwood

The Daily Mirror investigators who exposed rogues in the Thursday edition of the paper between 1999 and 2006.
Journalists Andrew Penman and Michael Greenwood found the cheats and confronted them.

The investigations column, launched in 1997, was originally called Sorted and edited by Penman and Gary Jones. Jones was later replaced by Dawn Alford and then Greenwood in 1999.
It was renamed Penman and Greenwood Investigate in 2004, later becoming Penman and Sommerlad Investigate. It is now just Penman Investigates.

The FreelanceUK website reports that they were crowned "UK scam-busters" of 2005 after winning the title of National Consumer Journalists of the Year; they won the award again in 2006.

According to the Press Gazette the red top duo were commended for their journalistic efforts by a panel of independent judges who said "They don't mind calling a scumbag a scumbag. They spotlight some major scams with a mix of dramatic journalism and plenty of humour."

Alan Milburn MP presented the Trading Standards Institute award.
The Daily Mirror said the ultimate accolade was represented by the fact that some of the swindlers had failed to sue or have lodged failed complaints with the Press Complaints Commission.

William Hamilton (lumber baron)

William Hamilton (died 1822 in Upper Canada) was a lumber merchant and political figure in Upper Canada.

He was born in Ireland and came to Quebec City with his brother George sometime before 1807. They were originally in the business of importing goods but later became involved in the timber trade. In 1811, they took over the operation of a sawmill near the current location of Hawkesbury when the original owners were unable to repay funds paid in advance for lumber. William moved to Hawkesbury to take charge of the operation. He served as a captain in the local militia during the War of 1812. He was named justice of the peace in the Eastern District in 1812 and in the Ottawa District in 1816. In 1816, he retired from the lumber business.

He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada in 1820, but was unseated in the following year when it became evident that the electoral officer, an associate of his brother, had tampered with the results.

Computer Automated Measurement and Control

Computer-Aided Measurement And Control (CAMAC) is a standard bus and modular-crate electronics standard for data acquisition and control used in particle detectors for nuclear and particle physics and in industry. The bus allows data exchange between plug-in modules (up to 24 in a single crate) and a crate controller, which then interfaces to a PC or to a VME-CAMAC interface.

The standard was originally defined by the ESONE Committee as standard EUR 4100 in 1972, and covers the mechanical, electrical, and logical elements of a parallel bus ("dataway") for the plug-in modules.  Several standards have been defined for multiple crate systems, including the Parallel Branch Highway definition and Serial Highway definition. Vendor-specific Host/Crate interfaces have also been built.

The CAMAC standard encompasses IEEE standards:
 583 The base standard
 683 Block transfer specifications (Q-stop and Q-scan)
 596 Parallel Branch Highway systems
 595 Serial highway system
 726 Real-time Basic for CAMAC
 675 Auxiliary crate controller specification/support
 758 FORTRAN subroutines for CAMAC.

Within the , modules are addressed by slot (geographical addressing).  The left-most 22 slots are available for application modules while the right-most two slots are dedicated to a crate controller.   Within a slot the standard defines 16 subaddresses (0–15).  A slot commanded by the controller with one of 32 function codes (0–31).  Of these function codes, 0–7 are read functions and will transfer data to the controller from the addressed module, while 16–23 are write function codes which will transfer data from the controller to the module.

In addition to functions that address the module, the following global functions are defined:
 I – Crate inhibit
 Z – Crate zero
 C – Crate clear

The original standard was capable of one 24-bit data transfer every microsecond.  Later a revision to the standard was released to support short cycles which allow a transfer every 450 ns.  A follow on upwardly compatible standard Fast CAMAC allows the crate cycle time to be tuned to the capabilities of the modules in each slot.

The FASTBUS standard was introduced in 1984 as a replacement for CAMAC in large systems.

Backplane physical characteristics 

The physical connector on the back of a CAMAC module is a card-edge connector, with a receiving socket on the backplane.  Because there are no alignment pins on the socket or connector, there is the possibility of connector misalignment upon module insertion. Therefore, CAMAC modules may NOT be hot-swapped. Many devices are connected to it.

Backplane electrical characteristics 

CAMAC shares low-voltage DC power with NIM crates.  The crate supplies +6 V, −6 V, +12 V, −12 V, +24 V, and −24 V to all modules.

Libido Speedway

Libido Speedway is an album by Orbit, released in 1997 on A&M Records. It won a Boston Music Award, for the best debut album of 1997.

The album's first single was "Medicine", which was a modern rock radio hit; the band had considered rewriting it after determining that it sounded too much like the Pixies. Orbit supported the album by playing the second stage on select 1997 Lollapalooza dates.

Production
The album was produced by Ben Grosse and the band. Many of the songs were written by coming up with the bass line first.

Critical reception

The Chicago Reader called "Medicine" a "memorable car-radio rocker." The Chicago Tribune thought that "echo tracks and excessive vocal layering clutter an otherwise peppy, involving record." 

The Daily Breeze determined that "Orbit has the rare ability to juxtapose a ferocious instrumental attack with buzzing melodies and make it work." The Omaha World-Herald deemed the album "crunchy, stripped-down rock that has a melodic aftertaste."

AllMusic called the album "an entertaining collection of punk-pop and post-grunge power-pop, driven by fizzy melodies and fuzzy guitar riffs."

Track listing
All songs written by Jeff Lowe Robbins, except where stated.

"Yeah" – 2:35
"Bicycle Song" – 5:33
"Wake Up" – 3:50
"Amp" – 2:43

Communist Party of Bhutan (Marxist–Leninist–Maoist)

The Communist Party of Bhutan (Marxist–Leninist–Maoist) (abbr. CPB (MLM)) is an underground communist party in Bhutan.

The CPB (MLM) aims to start a New Democratic Revolution and overthrow the Bhutanese monarchy and the House of Wangchuck. Its armed wing is the Bhutan Tiger Force, which had an estimated 600 to 1,000 cadres in 2009. The party's leader uses the nom de guerre Comrade Umesh.

History 
In the 1990s, Nepali-speaking Bhutanese peoples protested against the Bhutan government for democratization and language reforms. The government forcibly evicted the protesters, where they were put into refugee camps in eastern Nepal. Those who stayed have faced widespread discrimination. Inside the refugee camps, insurgent groups sprung up, including the Communist Party of Bhutan (Marxist–Leninist–Maoist). The CPB (MLM) was announced publicly on 22 April 2003, as stated on the website of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)—now called Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), or CPN(M).

The Royal Bhutan Army defused a bomb planted by the CPB (MLM) in Phuentsholing village, near the Bhutan–India border, on 25 April 2007.

During Bhutan's transition to a constitutional monarchy in 2008, the CPB (MLM) insurgents rocked Bhutan with five explosions across the country, including one in the capital Thimphu. They also declared the beginning of a "people's war".
 
In March 2008, Bhutanese police killed five suspected CPB (MLM) insurgents and arrested seventeen more in various operations in the south. The CPB (MLM) ambushed six forest rangers, killing four and wounding two in Singye village, Sarpang District near Sarpang on 30 December 2008.

A Bhutanese reporter was arrested in January 2009 after authorities suspected him of being a CPB (MLM) member.

During the 16th South Asian Association of Regional Co-operation, security was tightened after threats by the CPB (MLM).

Ideology 

Shortly after its founding, the CPB (MLM) released a ten-point program which outlined its demands from the government. The party's ideology is oriented around Marxism–Leninism–Maoism; its cadres hope to start a "people's war" and a "New Democratic Revolution".

The group seeks to repatriate the Lhotshampa refugees and declare Bhutan a "sovereign democracy". The CPB (MLM) also wants to turn Bhutan into a republic.

International connections 
The CPB (MLM) has close ties to Maoists in neighbouring Nepal, whom the party considers to be its inspiration. The CPB (MLM) also has links to Naxalite rebels in India's northeast, with CPB (MLM) insurgents reportedly being trained by these groups.
