John Ford

Ba stiúrthóir Gael-Mheiriceánach é John Ford a rugadh i Cape Elizabeth, Maine ar an 1 Feabhra 1894 agus a fuair bás ar an 31 Lúnasa 1973. Ba as Gaillimh iad a tuismitheoirí.
Is cinnte go raibh John Ford ar dhuine de na stiúrthóirí scannán ba mhó cáil le linn ré órga Hollywood. Nuair a iarradh ar Orson Welles na stiúrthóirí ab fhearr riamh a ainmniú ba é an freagra a thug sé ná ‘John Ford,’ ‘John Ford,’ agus ‘John Ford.’
Ba dhuine de mhuintir Uí Fhéinne as an Spidéal athair John Ford agus ‘Feeney’ a bhí air féin nuair a bhí sé ag fás aníos i Meiriceá. Ansin d’athraigh sé a ainm go John Ford.
D’imigh an t-athair John Feeney ar imirce chuig na Stáit Aontaithe sa mbliain 1872. Phós sé Barbara Curran as an Choill Rua agus rugadh John in 1894. Gaeilge a labhair an lánúin sa mbaile i Meiriceá, is cosúil.
Chuaigh John agus a dheartháir Francis go Hollywood agus rinneadar go maith ann.
Rinne John 150 scannán i rith a shaoil, 24 acu sin le John Wayne. Leis na scannáin ‘western’ ba mhó a bhain cáil John Ford agus thugadh sé páirteanna do John Wayne go minic iontu agus bhí seisean agus daoine eile ar nós Maureen O’Hara, Victor McLaglen, Ward Bond agus Barry Fitzgerald mar sórt ‘compántas’ aisteoirí aige.
I rith an Dara Cogadh Domhanda, ghlac Ford post leis an Aonad Grianghrafadóireachta de chuid Chabhlach na Stát Aontaithe. Rinne sé cláracha faisnéise ar nós The Battle of Midway agus bronnadh gradam eile ‘Oscar’ air dá bharr sin. B’oifigeach é i gCabhlach Cúltaca na Stát Aontaithe agus an lá ar fhág sé an tseirbhís bronnadh teideal ‘Leasaimiréal’ air. Tá an-chuntas air sa tsraith Five Came Back ar Netflix. Beagán blianta dár gcionn rinne Ford The Quiet Man.
Faoin am go dtáinig sé go Conamara chun The Quiet Man a dhéanamh in 1952, bhí cáil ollmhór bainte amach aige. Ba sa tréimhse iarchogaidh a rinne sé an scannán The Quiet Man. Bhí lámh ag Lord Killanin san obair.
Tá cáil ar an scannán sin fós ar fud an domhain. Mar a dúirt léirmheastóir amháin ‘it was more commercially viable paddywhackery’. Tagann na turasóirí ina sluaite chuig na láithreacha éagsúla, thart ar Chonga, Uachtar Ard, an Caisleán agus áiteacha eile nach iad.
Faoi 1952, bhí gradam ‘Oscar’ buaite aige trí huaire mar stiúrthóir (The Informer, The Grapes of Wrath agus How Green Was my Valley) agus ar ndóigh ghnóthaigh sé ceann eile le The Quiet Man.
Bhí cineál gaol i bhfad amach idir Ford agus an Tiarna Killanin, a raibh teach mór sa Spidéal aige. Ba é an Tiarna Killanin a mhol Conga agus Caisleán Cheapach Corcóige dó mar láthair scannánaíochta. Ba mhaith mar a d’fheil siad sin don scéal agus bhí láithreacha eile – ar nós an droichead beag siúd nach raibh i bhfad ón láthair.

Táirge a mheall ocht n-ainmniúchán Oscar agus a thug dhá cheann leis, ceann don stiúrthóir, ach níos tábhachtaí don turasóireacht, ceann don chineamatagrafaíocht. É sin ar fad agus Gaeilge le cloisint chomh maith.
Rinneadh cuid den scannánú i gConamara. Tagann na turasóirí ina sluaite chuig na láithreacha éagsúla, thart ar Chonga, Uachtar Ard, an Caisleán agus áiteacha eile nach iad.
Faoin am go dtáinig John Ford go Conamara chun The Quiet Man a dhéanamh in 1952, bhí cáil ollmhór bainte amach aige. Ba sa tréimhse iarchogaidh a rinne sé an scannán The Quiet Man.
Faoi 1952, bhí gradam ‘Oscar’ buaite aige trí huaire mar stiúrthóir (The Informer, The Grapes of Wrath agus How Green Was my Valley) agus ar ndóigh ghnóthaigh sé ceann eile le The Quiet Man.
Bhí lámh ag Lord Killanin san obair. Bhí cineál gaol i bhfad amach idir Ford agus an Tiarna Killanin, a raibh teach mór sa Spidéal aige. Ba é an Tiarna Killanin a mhol Conga agus Caisleán Cheapach Corcóige dó mar láthair scannánaíochta. Ba mhaith mar a d’fheil siad sin don scéal agus bhí láithreacha eile – ar nós an droichead beag siúd nach raibh i bhfad ón láthair.

Maureen O'Hara

Ba bhan-aisteoir Éireannach í Maureen O'Hara (a rugadh ar an 17 Lúnasa 1920 agus a d'éag 24 Deireadh Fómhair 2015), réalta 'ar an seandéanamh' as Raghnallach, BÁC ag comhghuaillíocht le Charles Laughton, Alfred Hitchcock, Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, John Ford agus John Wayne i rith ré órga Hollywood. . Bean a dhein a hiomaire féin a threabhadh, bean nár chaill a féiniúlacht Éireannach agus bean a bhí chomh compordach measúil céanna le Tadhg an mhargaidh is a bhí sí leis an bpiarda mór.
Rugadh Maureen Fitzsimons i Raghnallach, BÁC ar 17 Lúnasa 1920. Bhaist Laughton "O’Hara" uirthi nuair a dhein sé conradh scannánaíochta i Sasana a thairiscint di.
An chomhghuaillíocht bhisiúil le John Wayne, agus leis an nGael-Mheiriceánach, John Ford, a sholáthair saothair mhór-ráchairte cosúil le How Green Was My Valley (1941) agus, gan amhras, an saothar ab ansa léi féin The Quiet Man (1952). Bhí na piardaí ag iarraidh í a shá isteach i scannáin gan dealramh le leas a bhaint as a háilleacht agus a gruaig rua, go mór mór le teacht na scannán daite. Í féin ag rá go seanbhlastúil go rabhthas ag iarraidh a chinntiú nach bhfaigheadh a cumas an ceann is fearr ar a háilleacht.
Chlis dá phósadh uirthi, ach an tríú pósadh deireanach a thug sonas di agus a d’fhág í ina céad uachtarán ar chomhlacht eitleán i Meiriceá.
Ba bhean choráistiúil í nach ngéillfeadh ar a prionsabail. Ní raibh sí sásta luí ar an “casting couch” rud a d’fhág go raibh an chloch sa mhuinchille ag piardaí áirithe di.
Níor lig sí do na meáin satailt uirthi ach an oiread. Nuair a d’fhoilsigh an iris chúlchainte Confidential scéal gáirsiúil gan dealramh fúithi chuir sí an dlí orthu agus fuair sí an ceann is fearr orthu.
Go deimhin thug sí dúshlán an chórais dlí agus cirt nuair a bhí sí iarraidh saoránacht Mheiriceánach a bhaint amach. Na húdaráis ag maíomh gur Sasanach an Baile Átha Cliathach ach ise ag seasamh an fhóid. Sa deireadh ghéill breitheamh dá féiniúlacht Éireannach. Bean í a bhí teann as a dúchas. “To be born in Ireland is the greatest gift God can give,” a dúirt sí féin tráth. Labhair sí óna croí riamh faoi Éirinn agus ní raibh aon stad ar dílseacht di – d’Iarsmalann Mhuireitleáin Fhainge agus Ruagairí na Seamróige go háirithe. Níorbh leasc léi an Ghaeilge a bhí aici a úsáid ach an oiread agus “Is cneasta an fear tú” a rá le Perry Como ar a sheó cáiliúil.
Tugann an clár Maureen O’Hara – Banríon Hollywood (TG4) léargas ar a saol agus ar a saothar céad bliain i ndiaidh a breithe.

John Wayne filmography

American actor, director, and producer John Wayne (1907–1979) began working on films as an extra, prop man and stuntman, mainly for the Fox Film Corporation. He frequently worked in minor roles with director John Ford and when Raoul Walsh suggested him for the lead in The Big Trail (1930), an epic Western shot in an early widescreen process called Fox Grandeur, Ford vouched for him. Wayne's early period as a star would be brief. Fox dropped him after only three leads. He then appeared in a string of low-budget action films (mostly Westerns) before garnering more recognition with the 1939 film Stagecoach.
During the 1940s and early 1950s, Wayne starred in Dark Command (1940), Reap the Wild Wind (1942), Wake of the Red Witch (1948), Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), Rio Grande (1950), and Red River (1948). Some of his more notable war movies include Flying Tigers (1942), The Fighting Seabees (1944), They Were Expendable (1945), and Sands of Iwo Jima (1949), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor.
The 1950s would see Wayne star in an Ireland-set romantic comedy The Quiet Man (1952) and two westerns, The Searchers (1956) and Rio Bravo (1959). Wayne also continued his producing activities during this period, and formed his own production company, Batjac. During the 1960s and 1970s, Wayne starred in more Westerns, such as The Comancheros (1961), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), and True Grit (1969), in which his role as Rooster Cogburn earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor. He would reprise that role in the 1975 film Rooster Cogburn. He also played in several war films, including The Longest Day (1962) and In Harm's Way (1965).
Wayne starred in his final film, The Shootist in 1976, ending his acting career of 50 years, 169 feature length films, and various other television appearances or voice-overs.
Results from Quigley's Motion Picture Herald annual poll of film exhibitors would determine the year's "Top Ten Stars". John Wayne appeared on the list every time between 1949 and 1973 with one exception – 1958 – indicating that he was one of cinema's most durable stars.
James O'Hara (actor)

James O'Hara (born James Fitzsimons; 11 September 1927 – 3 December 1992), also credited as James Lilburn, was an Irish-born American actor. He is best known for his appearance in the film Suddenly (1954). O'Hara was the brother of Irish actress and singer Maureen O'Hara. His name was sometimes spelled as FitzSimons.

In astronomy, the Great Rift (sometimes called the Dark Rift or less commonly the Dark River) is a dark band caused by interstellar clouds of cosmic dust that significantly obscure (extinguish) the center and most radial sectors of the Milky Way galaxy from Earth's perspective.
In dark, clear night skies, the rift appears as clear as the bright bulge of stars around the Galactic Center does to the naked eye or binoculars. The rift is largely between the Solar System (which is close to the inner edge of the Orion Arm) and the next arm, inward, the Sagittarius Arm. The clouds are an obstruction to millions of the galaxy's stars detected at visible wavelengths, which compose a bright hazy band appearing 30° wide and arching through the night sky. The clouds within our radial sector of the galaxy span about 800–1,000 parsecs (2,600–3,300 ly) from Earth. The clouds are estimated to contain about 1 million solar masses of plasma and dust.
To the naked eye, the Great Rift appears as a dark lane that divides the bright band of the Milky Way vertically. The Great Rift covers one third of the Milky Way, and is flanked by strips of numerous stars, such as the Cygnus Star Cloud. West of the Cepheus Clouds, the Funnel cloud/Le Gentil 3 and the bordering North America Nebula, the Great Rift starts with the Northern Coalsack at the constellation of Cygnus, where it is known as the Cygnus Rift. The Great Rift stretches from there over the Serpens-Aquila Rift; to Ophiuchus, where it broadens out; to Sagittarius, where it obscures the Galactic Center; essentially ending at Centaurus.
One of the regions obscured by the Great Rift is the Cygnus OB2 association, a cluster of young stars and one of the largest regions of star formation within 2 kiloparsecs. Similar dark rifts can be seen in many edge-on galaxies, such as NGC 891 in Andromeda and NGC 4565 (the Needle Galaxy) in Coma Berenices.
Dark zones obscuring the night-sky lighting mass of the bulk of the Milky Way in a dry atmosphere (or at long exposures) were recognized by many ancient civilizations in which a seasonally or regularly dry climate is a frequent feature. In South America, the Inca gave some patterns of darkness and stars names much as normal stellar constellations were, including a series of animals like llamas, a fox, toad, and others, thought to be drinking from the "great river" (the Milky Way) and seen in silhouette.
The classical Greeks sometimes described the Great Rift as being the path of devastation left by Phaeton, who tried to guide the chariot of Helios (the Sun god) across the sky before losing control, wreaking havoc, and finally being struck down by a lightning bolt of Zeus.
Modern astronomy first began to notice the rift in the 18th century, but struggled to explain it until E. E. Barnard and Max Wolf in the early 20th century, who produced the currently accepted explanation after careful photographic study.
Of this, Barnard said:
Partly Cloudy

Partly Cloudy is a 2009 American animated comedy short film, written and directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Kevin Reher. It was shown in theaters before Pixar's feature film Up and is a special feature on its DVD and Blu-ray release. It was included in the Animation Show of Shows in 2009.
In a CGSociety article, Sohn says his idea for the film came from watching Dumbo as a child: in the movie, a stork delivers Dumbo, leading a young Sohn to wonder where the birds got their babies from. His conclusion was that the babies came from clouds, hence flying animals being needed to deliver them.
All day long, cheerful clouds in the sky make cute and cuddly babies, such as human boys and girls, kittens, puppies, and other creatures, and give them to storks for delivery to the expectant parents. However, one lonely gray cloud named Gus has the task of creating animals that are cute but not so cuddly. His delivery stork, Peck, gets the worst of it, being bitten by a crocodile, butted by a bighorn sheep, and pricked by a porcupine. When Peck sees that his next delivery is a baby shark, he grows more than a little fearful and flies away.
Feeling rejected, despondent, and angry, Gus unleashes a brief thunderstorm, then starts crying with rain pouring from below him. Peck, however, soon returns with a football helmet and shoulder pads, created for him by another cloud to keep him safe (alluded to in an earlier scene, where the same cloud creates a baby that would grow to love football). Gus instantly cheers up and gives Peck an electric eel to deliver, which shocks him despite the protective equipment; this time, though, Peck remains in good (but slightly frazzled) spirits.
Golconda (Magritte)

Golconda (French: Golconde) is an oil painting on canvas by Belgian surrealist René Magritte, painted in 1953. It is housed at the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas.
The piece depicts a scene of red-roofed buildings and a mostly blue partly cloudy sky, with the air filled by dozens of nearly identical men dressed in dark overcoats and bowler hats, generally facing the viewer. The men are positioned as if standing, and may be falling, rising, or stationary in mid-air; no movement or motion is implied. They are equally spaced in a three-dimensional lattice, and receding back in rhombus grid layers.
Magritte lived in a similar suburban environment, and dressed in a similar fashion. The bowler hat was a common feature of much of his work, and appears in paintings such as The Son of Man.
Charly Herscovici, who was bequeathed copyright on the artist's works, commented on Golconda:
One interpretation is that Magritte is demonstrating the line between individuality and group association, and how it is blurred. All of these men are dressed the same, have the same bodily features and are all floating/falling. This leaves one to look at the men as a group. Whereas if one looks at each person, one can predict that they may be completely different from another figure.
As was often the case with Magritte's works, the title Golconda was found by his poet friend Louis Scutenaire. Golconda is a ruined city in the state of Telangana, India, near Hyderabad, which from the mid-14th century until the end of the 17th was the capital of two successive kingdoms; the fame it acquired through being the center of the region's legendary diamond industry was such that its name remains, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "a synonym for 'mine of wealth'."
Magritte included a likeness of Scutenaire in the painting – his face is used for the large man by the chimney of the house on the right of the picture.

List of French words of Germanic origin (A-B)

This list of French words of Germanic origin is a dictionary of standard modern French words and phrases deriving from any Germanic language of any period, whether incorporated in the formation of the French language or borrowed at any time thereafter.
The following list details words, affixes and phrases that contain Germanic etymons. Words where only an affix is Germanic (e.g. méfait, bouillard, carnavalesque) are excluded, as are words borrowed from a Germanic language where the origin is other than Germanic (for instance, cabaret is from Dutch, but the Dutch word is ultimately from Latin/Greek, so it is omitted). Likewise, words which have been calqued from a Germanic tongue (e.g. pardonner, bienvenue, entreprendre, toujours, compagnon, plupart, manuscrit, manoeuvre), or which received their usage or sense (i.e. were created, modified or influenced) due to Germanic speakers or Germanic linguistic habits (e.g. comté, avec, commun, on, panne, avoir, ça) are not included.
Many other Germanic words found in older versions of French, such as Old French and Anglo-French are no longer extant in Standard Modern French. Many of these words do, however, continue to survive dialectally and in English. See: List of English Latinates of Germanic origin.
Ноёхон

Ноёхон (ханз: 那牙勤; латин галиг: ​Nojakin, Noyakin) болбоос Хамаг Монгол ханлигийн нэгэн овог, хүрээ бөгөөд Бодончар мунхагийн ач хөвүүн Мэнэн тудуны долоон хөвүүний хоёр дахь хөвүүн Хачины хөвүүн Ноёгидай гэгчээс салбарлан үүссэн Нирун Монгол угсааны овог юм.
Монголын нууц товчооны 46-р зүйлд: "... Хачины хөвүүн Ноёгидай нэртэй бүлгээ. Ноён шиг авиртай тул ноёхон овогтон болов (Qačin-nu​ ​kö[b]ün​ ​​Noyagiday​ ​​neretüy​ ​​bülee.​ ​​​Noyamsiγ​ aburitu​ ​​tula​ Noyakin​ ​​oboγtan​ boluba) ..." гэж тэмдэглэсэн. Нууц товчоонд уг овгоос Жунсо гэх ноён 1206 онд Чингис хааны зарлигаар мянганы ноён болсныг мэдэж болно.
Харин Рашид ад-Дины зохиосон Судрын чуулганд Ноёхоны уг гарлыг Тумбинай сэцний ууган хөвүүн Жагсугийн хөвүүдээс салбарлан үүссэн Ноёхон, Уруд, [Мангуд]] гэх гурван аймгийн нэг гэж тэмдэглэжээ.
Ноёхон аймгийн тухай мэдээ баримт цөөхөн хэдий ч, одоо мэдэгдэж байгаагаар Чингис хааныг Жамухаас салж нүүхэд "... ноёхон аймгийн Жунсо ирэв..." гэсэн зүйл байдаг ч, энэ нь ганц өрхөөр дагасан байх магадлалтай. 1192 онд Даланбалжудын арван гурван хүрээний байлдаанд Жамухын талын 13 хүрээний нэгд Ноёхон аймаг багтаж байсныг Богд Баатар Биеэр Дайлсан Тэмдэглэл хэмээх хятадаар хуулагдаж үлдсэн эх сурвалжид бичсэн байдаг. Ингэхээр уг аймаг нь анх Жадараны Жамухыг дагаж яваад, сүүлд 1201-1204 оны орчимд Чингис хаанд дагаар орж, 1206 онд Ноёхоны Жунсо гэх хүнийг мянгатын ноёнд томилж, Ноёхоныг захируулжээ. Мөн Чингис хааны зарлигаар Өэлүн эх, Отчигин хоёрт түмэн иргэн өгч, Хүчү, Хөхөхчү, Жунсо, Аргасун нарын мянганы ноёдыг мянгатаар нь өгсний дотор Ноёхон аймаг багтжээ.
Орчин үед ОХУ-ын Буриадын БНУ-ын Сэлэнгэ аймгийн дотор Ноёхон (Ноехонское) нэртэй сум байдаг. Уг газарт 1930 онд Зөвлөлтийн бодлогыг эсэргүүцсэн Ноёхоны бослого нэртэй үйл явдал болж байсан.
Сача бэхи

Сача бэхи (монгол:ᠰᠠᠴᠠ ᠪᠡᠬᠢ, хятад: 撒察-別乞, латин галиг: Sača-Beki) (? - 1197) бол Хамаг Монголын хиад жүрхин аймгийн ноён бөгөөд Хабул ханы ахмад хөвүүн Охинбархагийн хөвүүн Сорхату жүрхигийн хөвүүн юм.
Есүхэй баатрыг нас барсны дараа Тайчуудыг дагаж, Өэлүн эхийг хүүхдүүдтэй нь хаяж нүүсэн. Хожим Тэмүүжинийг Мэргидийг дарсны дараа Жамухатай 1 жил хагас нутаглаж салж нүүсний дараа, дүү Тайчугийн хамт жүрхин аймгаа удирдан Тэмүүжиний хүрээ "Химурга горхины Айл-харганад бууж байхад нийлэн ирэв." Тэмүжин нар тэндээс нүүж Хүрэлх доторх Сэнгүр горхины Хар зүрхний Хөх нуурт очиж буув. 1189 онд Хар зүрхний Хөх нуурт болсон хуралдайд Хотул ханы отгон хөвүүн Алтан отчигин, Бартан баатрын отгон хөвүүн Даридай отчигин, Нэгүн тайшийн хөвүүн Хучар бэхи нарын хамтаар Тэмүүжинийг Хамаг Монголын хан өргөмжлөх тангараг өргөсөн.
Дараа нь 1192 онд 13 хүрээний байлдаанд өөрийн аймгийн цэргийг удирдан нэгэн хүрээ болж байлдаанд оролцсон. Жамухын цэрэг буцсаны дараа Уруд, Мангуд аймгууд дагаар ирсэн тул Ононы шугуйд найр хийж, Жүрхиний талаас Бүрибөх, Хиад Боржигины талаас Бэлгүтэй найрыг засч байхад хатагин овгийн хүн морины хазаар хулгайлж байгааг мэдсэн Бэлгүтэй барьж засаглах гэхэд Бүрибөх тэр хүнийг өмөөрч, Бэлгүтэйн нүцгэн мөрийг цавчижээ. Энэ явдлыг мэдсэн Чингис хаан уурлан модны гишүү, айрагны бүлүүрийг авч Жүрхинтэй зодоон үүсгэхэд, Жүрхинийг ялж, Хотула ханы Хууржин хатан, Хорижин хатныг булаан авсан. Жүрхиний талаас зодоон маргаанаа больж, найрамдан зохилдъё гэснээр хоёр хатдыг буцаан илгээв.
1196 онд Алтан улсын Вангин чинсан цөөн цэргээр Тоорил ханы хүрээ рүү явах чимээг Тэмүүжин сонсч, Тоорил хантай хамтарч Татарын Мэгүүжин сүүлтийг дарахаар цэрэг цуглуулж, "жүрхиний Сача бэхи тэргүүтэй Жүрхин нарт хэлүүлсэн нь: "Энэ байлдаанд хавсарч, эртний эцэг өвгөдийг минь хорлосон Татаартай байлдахаар хамт мордъё" гэж элч явуулаад зургаан өдөр хүлээвч тэд ирсэнгүй."
"Жүрхин нар, Чингисийн ар гэрт хоцорсон хүмүүсийг довтолж, тавин хүний хувцсыг тоноод арван хүнийг алжээ. Жүрхин нар ингэж сүйтгэв гэж бидний ар гэрт хоцрогсод, Чингис хаанд мэдэгдвэл, Чингис хаан маш хилэгнэж өгүүлрүүн: "Жүрхин нар биднийг яагаад ингэж байгаа билээ? Ононы шугуйд хуримлаж байхад тогооч Шихүрийг тэд занчив. Бэлгүтэйн мөрийг цавчив. Найрамдъя гэхэд бид Хорижин хатан, Хуурчин хатан хоёрыг буцааж өгсөн билээ. Түүний хойно эцэг өвгөдий минь хорлосон эртний өшөөт Татаарыг хавсран байлдъя гээд Жүрхин нарыг зургаан өдөр хүлээсэн боловч, тэд ирсэнгүй. Одоо бас дайсны хажуугаар дайсан болов" гээд Чингис хаан, Жүрхинтэй байлдахаар морилов. Жүрхин нарыг Хэрлэний Хөдөө аралын Долоон болдог гэдэг газар байхад дайран орвол Сача бэхи, Тайчу хоёр, цөөн хүмүүсийг авч дутаав. Хойноос нь нэхэж Тэлэтү ам гэдэг газар гүйцэж, Сача бэхи Тайчу хоёрыг барив. Бариад Чингис хаан, Сача Тайчу хоёрт өгүүлрүүн: "Урьд бид юу гэж хэлэлцсэн билээ?" гэвэл, Сача Тайчу хоёр өгүүлрүүн: "Бид хэлсэн үгэндээ хүрээгүй бол үгэнд минь хүргэ" гэвэл, тэдний урьд хэлсэн үгийг сануулж, хэлсэн үгэнд нь хүргэж тэднийг бүтээж алав."
Добу мэргэн

Добу мэргэн буюу Добун мэргэн (монгол:ᠳᠣᠪᠤᠨ ᠮᠡᠷᠭᠡᠨ галиг: Dobun mergen хятад: 朶奔-篾兒干, пиньинь: Duǒ bēn-miè er gàn) нь Бөртэ чонын 10-р үеийн ач Торголжин баяны гэргий Борогчин гуагаас төрсөн отгон хөвүүн. Тэрбээр Чингис хааны дээд өвөг Бодончарын эх Алун Гуа хатны авааль нөхөр агсан. Түүнийг X зуун орчимд амьдарч байгаад 35-40 орчим насандаа таалал төгссөн байж магадгүй гэж Х.Пэрлээ гуай таамаглал дэвшүүлсэн. "Дува сохор гэх ах нь магнай дундаа ганц нүдэт, гурван нэүридийн газар харах бүлгээ."
Монголын нууц товчоонд Добун мэргэнийг Алунгуатай хэрхэн хуримласныг өгүүлэхдээ:
Мөн түүний дараа ах Дува сохор нь нас барсны дараа дөрвөн хөвүүн нь тусгаарлан салж нүүснээр дөрвөн овогтон болсон.
Добун мэргэнийг Чингис хаантай мах цусны шууд хамааралтай гэж үзэх боломжгүй мэт боловч тухайн үеийн хүмүүс ямар нэг сэжимээр холбож бичсэн нь өнөө цагийн бидэнд уламжлагдан иржээ. Добун мэргэн, Алунгуа хатан, гэрлээс төрсөн гурван хөвүүний талаар эрдэмтэн судлаачид эрдэм шинжилгээний өгүүлэл бичснээс гадна гадаадын болон монголын цөөнгүй зохиолчид үлгэр туульсийн шинжтэй тууж, роман бичсэн нь олон хүний анхаарал татахуйц сэдэв болдог.
Дува сохор

Дува сохор (монгол:ᠳᠤᠸᠠ ᠰᠣᠬᠣᠷ, галиг: Duwa-Soqor,​ хятад: 都︀蛙-鎻豁兒, пиньинь: Dōu︀ wā-suǒ huō er​​) нь Бөртэ чонын 10-р үеийн ач Торголжин баяны гэргий Борогчин гуагаас төрсөн ууган хөвүүн. Хамаг Монголын Дөрвэд овогтны дээдэс болно. МНТ-д: "Боржигидай мэргэний хөвүүн Торголжин баян, Борогчин гоо гэргийтэй. Боролдай суялби гэдэг залуутай, дайр, бор хоёр хүлэг агттай бүлгээ. Торголжины хөвүүн Дува сохор Добун мэргэн хоёр бүлгээ. Дува сохор магнай дундаа ганц нүдэт, гурван нэүридийн газарт харах бүлгээ. Нэгэн өдөр Дува сохор Добун мэргэн дүүтэйгээ Бурхан халдун дээр гарав. Дува сохор Бурхан халдун дээрээс харж, Түнхэлиг горхи руу нэгэн бөлөг иргэн нүүж орж айсуйг харж үзэж өгүүлрүүн: Тэд нүүж айсуй иргэдийн дотор нэгэн харуутай тэрэгний өлжигт нэгэн сайхан охин буюу хүнд эс өгсөн бөгөөс Добун мэргэн дүүдээ, чамд гуйя хэмээж Добун мэргэн дүүгээ үзүүлэхээр илгээв. Добун мэргэн тэд иргэнд хүрвээс үнэнхүү гоо сайн, алдар нэр ихтэй, Алун гуа нэртэй хүнд өгөөгүй охин ажгуу." хэмээсэн байна.

Өвгөн хуурч (уран зураг)

"Өвгөн хуурч" -Төрийн шагналт, Ардын зураач, Урлагийн гавьяат зүтгэлтэн Үржингийн Ядамсүрэнгийн 1958 оны 80х60 см хэмжээтэй уран бүтээл юм.
Морин хуур барьсан, урт цагаан сахалтай өвгөний зургийг мэдэхгүй хүн гэж үгүй. Тэрээр энэ бүтээлээ 1958 онд буюу 53 настайдаа зуржээ. 1950-аад оны үед эрдэмтэн, зохиолч Б.Ринчен гуай Ү.Ядамсүрэнд хуурч, ерөөлч хүний дүр бүтээхийг санал болгосон аж. Тиймээс Ганданд лам байсан, урт цагаан сахалтай нэгэн өвгөнийг натурт суулгаснаар “Өвгөн хуурч”-аа монгол зургийн шороон будгийн аргаар зурсан нь зургийн зохиомж, дүрслэл, өнгөний зохицол, өгүүлэмж нь гайхалтай учраас Монголын сор бүтээлийн нэг болжээ.
Зураач бүтээлээ "монгол зураг"-ийн уламжлалт аргаар нимгэн цаасан дээр дэвсгэр өнгө тавьж, түүн дээр хар зурагаа буулган, цэвэр тод өнгийн шороон будгаар өнгө таглаж, хөнгөн дагнаас уусгалтаар гэрэл, сүүдрийг нь тодруулан гаргажээ. Тухайлбал, хуурч өвгөний царай, гарыг дүрслэхдээ үл мэдэг гэрэл, сүүдрийг шингэн будгаар дагнааслан зурсан байна. Үүний дараа нарийн бийрийн үзүүрээр дүрс, хэсэг бүрийг ялган хүрээ зураасаар тодруулан татаж, улмаар нухмал алтаар хээ хуар, чимэглэлүүдийг гүйцээн зурсан аж.
Урлаг судлаач О.Доржготов “Өвгөн хуурч”-ийн талаар “Үзэгчдийн зүг намуухан мишээж, хуураа татан суугаа өвгөн хар булган нударгатай, хурган дотор, гуулин товч, луун хээтэй улаан хамбан дээлэн дээр ногоон дурдан бүс ороож, хэт хутга зүүжээ. Хар булган малгайн оройг улаан өнгөөр оёж, сампин зангидсан бөгөөд хөх торгон өмд өмсөж, ногоон эмжээр, улаан хараатай, ширмэл угалзтай монгол гутал жийжээ. Улаан дэлтэй сартай морины толгойн сийлбэртэй хуурын улаан, ногоон өнгө хосолсон царан дээр өлзий, угалз хээ зурсан байна. Өвгөн хуурч алхан болон угалз хээтэй ширмэл эсгий ширдэг дээр бохирон суусан нь зохиомж, өнгөний шийдэл” хэмээн дүгнэн хэлсэн байдаг.
Bandiin Dambiinyam

Bandiin Dambiinyam (Mongolian: Бандийн Дамбийням; July 15, 1924 – October 9, 2001) was a Mongolian architect.
Dambiinyam broke with Soviet-influenced Socialist architecture by incorporating elements of traditional Mongolian design in his work, such as the Urt Tsagaan service district; the pavilion for the Pioneer Palace; the facades of State Department Store, Bacteriological Institute, and 'Gutalyn 22' residential apartments; the B. Tserendorj monument; and the Mongolian traditional felt ‘ger’ home design on the dome of the State Bank building.
Many of Dambiinyam's projects focused on public services such as the Orphan Center and School; the Ministry of Geology, Mining, and Industry; the Chingeltei District Fire Station; the Vystavka Exhibition Center; city halls; hotels; and health and wellness resorts throughout the Mongolian countryside.
In a March, 1982 interview with A. Myagmarzhav in the article, "Beautiful Building-The Soul’s Decoration," in Builder magazine published in Ulaanbaatar, Dambiinyam said, "I've participated in the design of approximately 150 buildings and general plans for sum settlements [comparable to counties in the United States]. I like to say "participated" because design work is collaborative work. Some of the biggest [projects] are: Pioneer Palace buildings; State Institute of Hygiene, Infection, and Bacteriology; Central Fire Command; Radiation Hospital; Infectious Disease Hospital; Songino Rest Center [countryside sanatorium]; Ulaanbaatar City Service Center (known as Urt Tsagaan or Long White); Khovd Province Musical Drama Theater buildings; etc."

The Stone Council

The Stone Council (French: Le Concile de pierre) is a 2006 French thriller film. Based on a novel by Jean-Christophe Grangé the film depicts an inter-continental, mystical conspiracy unfolding following the adoption of a boy from Mongolia.
Bellucci plays Diane Siprien, a translator, who adopts a Mongolian child name Liu-San with the help of her friend Sybille. Years later, a bruise appears on the boy's chest, and the two women suffer nightmares. Diane is dispatched on assignment, and Liu goes comatose while in Sybille's temporary care. He begins speaking in an unknown tongue. As Diane tries to place the language, mysterious murders began occurring in her orbit. She discovers the boy comes from an ancient, mystic Mongolian tribe — the Tseven — who want the boy returned to them for a religious prophecy involving the Council of the Stone.
Variety called the film a "French Sixth Sense", and a "generously budgeted piece of esoterica" that "won't be enough to scare up an audience, unless it's a very young one that hasn't heard all these cliches before." Screen Daily similarly found an American parallel, the Da Vinci Code, and called the film "overwrought".

বিবেকানন্দ সেতু

বিবেকানন্দ সেতু (আগেকার নাম: উইলিংডন ব্রিজ বা বালি ব্রিজ) হল পশ্চিমবঙ্গের হুগলি নদীর উপর অবস্থিত একটি সেতু। এটি হাওড়ার বালি ও উত্তর চব্বিশ পরগনার দক্ষিণেশ্বরকে যুক্ত করেছে। ১৯৩২ সালের ডিসেম্বর মাসে এই সেতুটি চালু হয়। এটি একটি মাল্টিস্প্যান স্টিল ব্রিজ। এটি কলকাতা বন্দর ও তার পশ্চাদভূমির অন্যতম প্রধান রেল ও সড়ক যোগাযোগ সেতু। এর দৈর্ঘ্য ২,৮৮৭ ফুট (৮৮০ মিটার)।
সেতুটি তৈরি করেছিলেন বিখ্যাত কুটচি-মিস্ত্রি কনট্র্যাকটর ও শিল্পপতি রায়বাহাদুর জগমল রাজা চৌহান॥ সেতুর গার্ডারে তার নামফলক রয়েছে। সেতুর নির্মানকাজ শুরু হয় ১৯২৬ সালে, শেষ হয় ১৯৩২ সালে। ফ্যাব্রিকেশন করেছিল কলকাতার ব্রেইথওয়েট অ্যান্ড কোম্পানি। ভারতের তৎকালীন ভাইসরয় ফ্রিম্যান ফ্রিম্যান-টমাস, ফার্স্ট মার্কুইস অফ উইলিংডনের নামে এই সেতুর নামকরণ হয় উইলিংডন সেতু। তিনিই এই সেতুর উদ্বোধন করেছিলেন। যে ট্রেনটি এই সেতুর উপর দিয়ে প্রথম গিয়েছিল সেটির নাম ব্রিটিশরা রেখেছিল জগমল রাজা হাওড়া এক্সপ্রেস। শোনা যায়, সেতু নির্মাণে সেযুগে এক কোটি টাকারও বেশি খরচ হয়।
সেতুটি যে সড়ক ও রেলপথের যোগসূত্র সেগুলি হল:
দক্ষিণেশ্বর কালীবাড়ি এই সেতুর খুব কাছে অবস্থিত। হুগলি নদীর উপর কলকাতায় এই সেতুর দুটি সহকারী সেতু আছে: রবীন্দ্র সেতু (হাওড়া ব্রিজ) ও বিদ্যাসাগর সেতু।
এই সেতুর উপর দিয়ে দৈনিক ২৪,০০০ যানবাহন চলাচল করে।
বয়স ও ট্র্যাফিকের ভারে বিবেকানন্দ সেতু ক্রমশ ব্যবহারের অযোগ্য হয়ে পড়ছে। এই সেতুর মেরামতিও সবসময় সম্ভব হচ্ছে না। তাই সেতুর পাশেই একটি সহকারী সেতু নির্মিত হয়েছে। এই সেতুর নাম নিবেদিতা সেতু। ২০০৭ সালে এই সেতু চালু হয়।
সেতু

সেতু কাঠামো যা সমর্থনের মাধ্যমে অনুভূমিকভাবে বিস্তৃত, যার কাজ হল উল্লম্ব ভার বহন করা। যেকোনো প্রকারের প্রতিবন্ধক অতিক্রম করার জন্য প্রাকৃতিক বা কৃত্রিমভাবে গঠিত সংযোগ। একটি সেতুর নকশা ও নির্মাণশৈলী নির্ভর করে তার প্রয়োজনীয়তা, নির্মাণস্থলের প্রাকৃতিক অবস্থান, ব্যবহৃত নির্মাণ সামগ্রী এবং বরাদ্দকৃত অর্থের পরিমাণের উপর।
