Nova Sloboda, Sumy Oblast

History

On 7 July 1942 586 inhabitants of the village (including 70 children under the age of ten) were killed by Nazi Germany in retaliation for the village allegedly providing shelter to the Soviet partisans. The massacre has been compared by some, including the government of Sumy Oblast, to the Khatyn massacre in Belarus.

Nova Sloboda, Sumy Oblast

History

The Museum of Goryun Culture [uk], dedicated to the Goryun ethnic group, was established in the village on 28 September 2017.

Nova Sloboda, Sumy Oblast

History

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Nova Sloboda was shelled by Russian forces throughout 2022 and 2023. Russians also launched an unsuccessful attempt [uk] to take the village from 23 April until the total Russian withdrawal after the end of the Northern Ukraine campaign. The same year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality of the Netherlands celebrated the village for its production of herbal teas, while the Institute of Partnership and Sustainable Development non-governmental organisation purchased a stock of teas to be supplied to internally displaced persons in Pokrovske.

You Make Me Free Make Me Fly!

'You Make Me Free Make Me Fly' is the third studio album by Taiwanese Puyuma singer A-Mei. It was released on December 19, 1997, by Forward Music. The album was recorded as an advance listen for A-Mei's 1998 concert "Sister Power Concert". The record featured covers of Chinese and English songs, except for the tracks "You Make Me Free" and "It Doesn't Matter to Me". The album has sold 800,000 copies in Taiwan[1] and over 4 million copies in Asia.

You Make Me Free Make Me Fly!

Background

On June 7, 1997, A-Mei released her highly anticipated sophomore album 'Bad Boy'. It became an immediate success and went on to become Taiwan's highest selling album of all time with sales of approximately 1.38 million copies nationwide. Additionally, 'Bad Boy' sold more than six million copies across Asia, establishing A-Mei as a dominant force on the music charts and one of the most sought after celebrities in East Asia. However, tragedy struck five months after its release date. Her manager Chang Yu-sheng died on November 12, 1997, at age 31, after falling into a coma for 24 days due to a car crash that occurred on October 20, 1997. During Chang's stay in the hospital, A-Mei visited him many times. At that time, in order to pay tribute to Chang Yu-sheng who was dying, she released the CD single "Listen to You, Listen to Me (聽你聽我)".

You Make Me Free Make Me Fly!

Background

After the aftermath of Chang's death, A-Mei decided to take a massive stepping stone in her career; which was planning a stadium sized concert tour. However, A-Mei only had two studio albums at the time and therefore didn't have enough material to sing for a three hour concert. To pan out the songbook, her label released 'You Make Me Free Make Me Fly' before the concert. The album contained A-Mei's favorite songs from her childhood, and the song "Standing on a High Post" became a hit on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, further establishing her status as a diva. The album also featured her first collaboration with Su Rui with the song "Follow Your Feelings".

Skibbereen Town Hall

Skibbereen Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile An Sciobairín) is a municipal building in The Square at Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland. It is currently used as a community events venue.

Skibbereen Town Hall

History

The building was commissioned by the local landowner, Sir Henry Wrixon-Becher, 2nd Baronet, whose seat was at Castlehyde. The site he selected, on the north side of The Square, was occupied by an old market hall and toll house which was in a dilapidated condition.

Skibbereen Town Hall

History

The new building was designed in the Victorian style, built in rubble masonry and was completed in around 1862. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto North Street. The left-hand section of three bays, which was slightly projected forward and gabled, was fenestrated by three round headed openings with voussoirs and keystones on the first floor and by a Venetian window on the first floor. The fourth bay from the left featured a round headed doorway with pilasters, imposts, voussoirs and an ornate triangular canopy on the ground floor, and a segmental headed window on the first floor, while the right-hand bay was fenestrated by a bi-partite mullioned window on the ground floor and by a pair of segmental headed windows on the first floor. Internally, the principal rooms were a market hall on the ground floor and an assembly room on the first floor.

Skibbereen Town Hall

History

After Wrixon-Becher reluctantly abandoned some restrictions on political use that he had sought to impose, the town commissioners purchased the building in 1866. In the early-1870s, a four-stage clock tower was erected behind the right-hand bay: there was a lancet window in the first stage, a round headed window in the second stage, clock faces in the third stage and louvres in the fourth stage, all surmounted by a pyramid-shaped roof and a weather vane. The clock was donated by Henry Winthrop O'Donovan of Liss Ard House.

Skibbereen Town Hall

History

The building became an important venue for public events: the Irish Nationalist, Charles Stewart Parnell, gave a speech there in April 1880, the Irish republican, Michael Davitt, spoke there in August 1887, and the suffragette, Maud Gonne, gave a talk in March 1902. After the town commissioners were replaced by an urban district council in 1899, the new council adopted the building as its meeting place. A statue commemorating local people who had died in a series of republican uprisings, sculpted by John Maguire and entitled the "Maid of Erin", was erected just to the south of the town hall and unveiled by Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa in 1904.

Skibbereen Town Hall

History

The actor and future playwright, Harold Pinter, performed on stage in September 1951, and the McMaster Intimate Theatre Company, led by Anew McMaster, put on a performance of the Greek tragedy, Oedipus Rex, there in August 1955. It was after one of McMaster's performances, in August 1955, that the town hall was almost completely gutted in a serious fire. It was restored and re-opened by Bishop Cornelius Lucey on 2 February 1960. A plaque, intended to commemorate the life of the locally-born Irish Republican, Gearóid O'Sullivan, who raised the Irish Flag over the General Post Office in Dublin during the Easter Rising, was installed on the front of the town hall to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Easter Rising in 1966.

Skibbereen Town Hall

History

The town hall continued to serve as the local seat of government until the urban district council moved to new offices above the library at the former Bishop Kelly Memorial Technical School further north along North Street in April 1992. However, the building subsequently continued to be used as a community events venue, hosting concerts and theatre performances. A new glass-fronted entrance foyer, intended to improve access, was erected by local contractors, Cahalane Brothers, on the south side of the town hall in autumn 2023.

Nirayana system

The nirayana system is a traditional Indian system of calendrical computations in which the phenomenon of precession of the equinoxes is not taken into consideration. In Indian astronomy, the precession of equinoxes is called ayana-calana which literally means shifting of the solstices and so nirayana is nir- + ayana meaning without ayana. Ayanacalana refers to the continuous backward movement of the point of intersection of the ecliptic (which is a fixed circle) and the celestial equator (which keeps on moving backward). In contrast, the Indian systems of calendrical computations which take into consideration the effects of precession of equinoxes are called sayana systems.

Nirayana system

Nirayana year

The nirayana year is the sidereal year and its duration is 365.256363 days (365 days 6 hours 9 minutes 10 seconds) approximately . It is the actual time required for the Earth to revolve once around the Sun with respect to a fixed point on the ecliptic. In the nirayana system in India, this fixed point is taken as that point on the ecliptic which is directly opposite to the star called Citrā (Alpha Virginis) which is remarkably conspicuous in the night sky by its high brightness. The longitude of the star Chitra from this point is 180°. The starting point of the nirayana year coincided with the March equinox in the year 285 CE. Since the stars are fixed with respect to the ecliptic, the starting point remains unchanged, hence the name nirayana.

Nirayana system

Nirayana months

In the calendars that follow the nirayana system, a month is an artificial unit of time. In the nirayana system, the ecliptic is divided into 12 parts of 30° and each part is called a rāśi. The first rāśi starts from the same point as that of the start the nirayana year. The beginning of a nirayana month is the moment at which the Sun enter into a rāśi. The length of a nirayana month is the duration of time taken by the Sun to travel completely in a rāśi, that is, to travel 30° of its elliptical orbit. Since the speed at which the Sun is traversing its elliptical orbit around the sun is not constant, the durations of the sidereal months are also not constant. The mean length of a nirayana month is about 30.4369 days, but its actual length can vary from 29.45 days to 31.45 days.

Nirayana system

The beginning of a nirayana month

Since the nirayana months are defined artificially, there are no astronomical phenomena associated with the beginning of a nirayana month. The exact moment at which a new nirayana month begins can occur at any time of day, early morning, evening or night. To felicitate dating of days, the the first day of a month has to be properly defined. Unfortunately, there is no consensus on this among the traditional calendar makers across India. The tradition varies from region to region in India. A few of these traditions may be considered as illustrations. In the following, saṃkrānti is the day on which the Sun enters a new rāśi.

Nirayana system

Duration of months

The table in the figure below gives the names and the duration of each of the 12 nirayana months. The tables gives the duration of months as per Ārya-Sinddhānta (Āryabhaṭīya) and as per Sūrya-Siddhānta. The abbreviations "gh." and "pa." stand for "ghaṭikā" (= 24 minutes) and "pala" (also called "vighatikā" = 24 seconds). The table is an extract from The Indian Calendar by Robert Sewell and Sankara Balakrishna Dikshit published in 1896. The calendar makers of different regions of India follow different computational systems. Depending on the computational system, the duration of a nirayana month may vary from region to region.

Nirayana system

Major deficiency

The most important deficiency of the nirayana calendar is that the predictions of the dates of the onsets of the various seasons as per the nirayana system do not correspond to the actual dates on which they occur. This is because the seasons depend on the position of the sun on the ecliptic relative to the celestial equator. In particular, they depend on the positions of the equinoxes. Since, the positions of the equinoxes are slowly moving, the predictions of the seasons which ignore this movement of the equinoxes will be definitely erroneous.

Nirayana system

Major deficiency

To be more specific, the winter season begins on the winter solstice day which date is marked by sun’s entry into Makara constellation. This event occurs on the 22nd December. But in the nirayana system, this happens not on the 22nd December but on the 14th January and the winter season is also supposed to begin on that date. Similar is the case with other seasons also. The result is that there is a clear difference of 23 days in the reckoning of seasons.

The labourer is shot and wounded by Peters. When the police arrive they report that Miller has previously surrendered himself.

Life in Danger

Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This attempt at the familiar but always tricky subject of an average community shocked into violence by a threat to its ordinary existence – in this case an escaped criminal lunatic – has a tense opening and two mainly effective leading performances. Unfortunately realism soon takes second place to conventional thrills and a facile climax, and the supporting cast is for the most part unconvincing."

Critical reception

Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film call the film a "neat, unpretentious thriller".
