# The Oriental Hotel

The **Oriental Hotel**, also known as ***The Ori*** and formerly known as the **Springwood Hotel**, is a heritage-listed pub located in Springwood, a suburb of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

## History

The Springwood Hotel was built in 1878 by Frank Raymond as a long, single-storied, low-browed building with a simple verandah facing the main road.

In 1890 Raymond sold a portion of the land grant that he owned at Springwood to James Lawson who developed the site as a large two storey hotel. It is this building that is listed on the local government heritage register of the City of Blue Mountains. The Oriental Hotel is in a prominent location at the corner of Macquarie Road and Raymond Road. The Victorian origins of the hotel are best seen from Raymond Road where the hipped slate roof, rendered chimneys and vertically proportioned double hung windows are most visible. Facing Macquarie Road the hotel has a two-storey verandah on its main north wing terminated by a hipped front. This composition relates to its Victorian origins, but the verandah has lost its original timber and cast iron structure and the windows have lost their highly decorative surrounds. A two-storey wing to the east, set back from Macquarie Street, was built around the same time as the main wing. The picket fence to Macquarie Street is a reconstruction of the early fence on the site.

## Current features

The pub still operates today, and now also includes a cafe. Bands regularly perform in the pub.

title: Caribbean large igneous province

abstract: The Caribbean large igneous province (CLIP) consists of a major flood basalt, which created this large igneous province (LIP). It is the source of the current large eastern Pacific oceanic plateau, of which the Caribbean-Colombian oceanic plateau is the tectonized remnant. The deeper levels of the plateau have been exposed on its margins at the North American and South American plates. The volcanism took place between 139 and 69 million years ago (Ma), with the majority of activity appearing to lie between 95 and 88 Ma. The plateau volume has been estimated as on the order of 4 million km⁳ (0.96 million cu mi). It has been linked to the Galápagos hotspot.

# Caribbean large igneous province

The **Caribbean large igneous province** (CLIP) consists of a major flood basalt, which created this large igneous province (LIP). It is the source of the current large eastern Pacific oceanic plateau, of which the Caribbean-Colombian oceanic plateau is the tectonized remnant. The deeper levels of the plateau have been exposed on its margins at the North American and South American plates. The volcanism took place between 139 and 69 million years ago (Ma), with the majority of activity appearing to lie between 95 and 88 Ma. The plateau volume has been estimated as on the order of 4 million km3 (0.96 million cu mi). It has been linked to the Galápagos hotspot.

## Proto-Caribbean Seaway

Divergence between the North American and South American Plates began to create oceanic crust off Colombia's Pacific coast by the end of the Jurassic (150 Ma). This divergence, which continued until at least 66 Ma, first resulted in a "proto-Caribbean spreading ridge" between these plates flanked by a perpendicular transform zone on its Pacific side. By 135–130 Ma, the subduction of the Farallon Plate had begun along this transform zone, effectively modifying it into a subduction zone and beginning the creation of the Great Caribbean Arch. This arch was formed around 120-115 Ma but must have been intersected by the Caribbean spreading ridge until 66 Ma. Hence, the Farallon Plate fed the spreading zone and later became the Caribbean Plate.

## LIP formation

CLIP formed as a large igneous province and now forms a thickened zone of oceanic crust between the North American and South American plates. In some places the oceanic crust is 2–3 times as thick as normal oceanic crust (15–20 km (9.3–12.4 mi) vs 7 km (4.3 mi). Its composition is similar to that of the Ontong Java Plateau.

Geochemical and geochronological evidences clearly indicate that the Galápagos hotspot initiated the formation of the CLIP 95-90 Ma in the eastern Pacific. From there it move north-east with the Farallon Plate between the two American plates until it collided with a volcanic arc, the Greater Antilles 60 million years later. Fragments of this voyage is preserved in accreted seamounts along the Central American coast and the Cocos and Carnegie Ridges. Isotopic profiles of Galápagos rocks can be matched with those from CLIP rocks.

92–63 Ma 40Ar/39Ar ages have been reported for the Curaçao Lava Formation and 94–83 ma for the Dumisseau Formation in Haiti, dating both locations back to the original LIP formation 94 Ma. CLIP volcanism originates from the plume-like source distinct from a MORB (mid-ocean ridge basalt) mantle. The long duration of CLIP volcanism can be explained by the interaction between a plume and the Greater Antilles subduction zone.

The margins of the CLIP have been uplifted and are exposed above sea level, which makes it unique among oceanic plateaus. It stretches 2,500 km (1,600 mi) east to west and 1,300 km (810 mi) north to south. The CLIP is composed of irregularly thickened (up to 20 km (12 mi)) oceanic crust of the Caribbean Plate and the deformed associated magmatic terranes obducted onto the Pacific coasts of northern South America, Central America, and the Antilles. One of the least deformed parts is Gorgona Island off Colombia's Pacific coast.

The CLIP was created during three phases of eruptions dating between the Aptian and the Maastrichtian: a first phase 124–112 Ma; the main magma production phase 94–83 Ma; and an 80–72 Ma phase. The youngest igneous rocks, in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, are from 63 Ma. That the CLIP originated in the Pacific is obvious because fragments of oceanic crust accreted to the margins of the Caribbean, for example on Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, contain fauna of Pacific provenance.

The Farallon Plate's eastward movement forced the northern half of the CLIP into the ocean basin that had opened between North and South America starting in the Jurassic. However, the mechanisms causing the NE movement of the CLIP remains unclear, especially considering the subduction in the Costa Rica-Panama arc initiated during the Campanian (83–72 Ma). The Galápagos hotspot is probably responsible for the main plume-related magmatic event 90 Ma, whilst the 76 Ma and 55 Ma event are related to lithospheric thinning in the Central Caribbean.

40Ar/39Ar dating have determined that the main magmatism occurred 95 to 83 million years ago (Ma) while a second pulse occurred 81-69 Ma. Around 86 Ma the arrival of a large plume initiated the Galápagos hotspot which resulted in volcanism over large parts of the Caribbean Plate and north-west South America. Renewed volcanism about 75 Ma has been attributed to either the Galápagos hotspot, thinning of the lithosphere coupled with associated melting and upwelling of plume-head material, or both.

Seismic and geochemical analyses, on the other hand, suggest the CLIP consists of several oceanic plateaus and palaeo-hotspot tracks formed 139-83 Ma some of which have been overprinted by later magmatism. If these first volcanic activities were generated by the Galápagos hotspot, it would make it the oldest still active hotspot on Earth.

abstract: Caribbean music in Canada has existed since the early 1920s, becoming increasingly prominent after the 1960s as Caribbean immigration to Canada increased. Anglo-Caribbean genres such as reggae, soca and calypso are especially prominent in English Canada, while French Caribbean genres such as cadence-lypso, zouk and konpa are more prominent in Quebec. Caribbean music has also been incorporated as an influence by numerous Canadian pop, rock and hip hop artists. Recent changes in Canada's immigration laws have seen several prominent musicians from the Commonwealth Caribbean, like David Rudder and Anslem Douglas, resettle in Canada and help to develop the Caribbean music industry based there.

The role of music in the Caribbean Canadian community is reinforced by cultural festivals such as Toronto's Caribana.

## 1960s and 1970s

Beginning in the mid-1960s, a wave of Caribbean musicians, especially but not exclusively from Jamaica, began to move to Toronto. Some of these, such as Jay Douglas, Jo Jo Bennett and Jackie Mittoo, pioneered the development of a reggae scene in the city, while others, such as Wayne McGhie, performed rhythm and blues, soul and funk in accordance with the dominant Toronto sound of the era.

## 1980s

Caribbean music began to actively break through into the Canadian cultural mainstream in the 1980s when Parachute Club, a band who incorporated reggae and soca rhythms into a mainstream new wave dance-pop style, broke through to mass popularity with their 1983 hit single "Rise Up".

Their success in turn paved the way for reggae and dub poetry artists such as Leroy Sibbles, Lillian Allen, Messenjah, Clifton Joseph and Sattalites to break through to larger audiences; the Juno Awards, Canada's primary music award, introduced an award for Reggae Recording of the Year in 1985.

Parachute Club percussionist Billy Bryans, whose interest in Caribbean music had been influential in the introduction of reggae and soca elements into the band's sound, also went on to become Canada's first prominent and influential promoter and producer of homegrown Caribbean and Latin American music, producing albums for and managing numerous artists and acting, according to Brazilian Canadian singer-songwriter Aline Morales, as "a bridge between world music and the Canadian music scene".

## 1990s

Noted developments in Caribbean music in the 1990s included Jane Bunnett's early explorations of Afro-Cuban jazz, Snow's worldwide 1993 hit single "Informer", the incorporation of reggae and dub influences by blues-rock band Big Sugar, the reggae rock band Raggadeath, and the 1998 hit single "Who Let the Dogs Out?", written by Trinidadian-Canadian musician Anslem Douglas.

With the Black Canadian community dominated by people of Caribbean heritage, Caribbean music also emerged as a major influence on the development of Canadian hip hop in this era — most notably on influential albums such as Dream Warriors' *And Now the Legacy Begins* and Michie Mee's *Jamaican Funk—Canadian Style*, which extensively incorporated reggae and other Caribbean styles.

Ron Nelson has played an important role in promoting reggae in Canada through his *ReggaeMania* radio show, which ran on CKLN-FM from 1993 to 2011, an early and important platform for promoting Reggae music in the Toronto area for almost two decades and continues as ReggaeMania.com, an online radio station and hub, as well as his work as a music promoter and concert organizer in Toronto.

## 2000s

Stations like Flow FM, CHIN-FM, G98.7 and, until 2011, CKLN-FM, located in Toronto, Ontario have served to bind the Caribbean music industry with their regularly rotated scheduling for soca and calypso music.

The Canadian Urban Music Awards have also begun to award various award titles in the soca and reggae genres.

In 2007, Anslem Douglas who originally wrote the song "Who Let the Dogs Out?", re-entered the Caribbean music scene after a four-year hiatus. Douglas recorded several of his 2007 Carnival songs from Canada.

Noted artists in the genre to emerge in this era included South Rakkas Crew and Kobo Town, both of whom have had albums nominated for the Polaris Music Prize, and Alex Cuba, a Cuban-born guitarist who has had success both as a solo artist and as a collaborator with pop singer Nelly Furtado. Singer-songwriter Danny Michel also received critical and commercial acclaim for his 2012 album *Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me*, recorded in Belize with a group of musicians credited as the Garifuna Collective.

# Sengar River

**Sengar River** is a tributary of the river Yamuna in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

## Course

Sengar originates near Adhawan lake in Aligarh district and drains \[Hathras District \]Etawah, Mainpuri and Kanpur districts before it confluences with the Yamuna between Kalpi and Hamirpur. It has a total length of 304 km (190 miles). The Sengar flows parallel to the Yamuna in Etawah district and is joined by the Sirsa river near Amritpur. It forms a doab with the Rind in Kanpur district. Much of the Sengar's basin in Etawah and Kanpur districts is under red loamy soil. The 1878 settlement report for Kanpur district also notes that the river is fringed by a series of ravines that had impacted adversely the fertility of the soil in the river's vicinity.

## Etymology

Sengar - originally called Basind - is said to have been named after the Sengar Rajputs after they captured most of Etawah following the fall of Kannauj in the medieval period.

## History

The foundation of this river was laid by King Vishok Dev Sengar also known as Bishukh Dev of Kanar (Morden Jagamanpur). Earlier this city (Auraiya) was ruled by the people of Mev caste. In Sambat 1158 (1101 AD), on Wednesday, Vishok Dev killed 20,000 Meos and established the kingdom there.

"There is a folk song related to the history of this river which shows its historicity. "

title: Selam (Dogu'a Tembien)

abstract: Selam is a tabia or municipality in the Dogu'a Tembien district of the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. The tabia centre is in Addi Werho village, located approximately 3 km to the northeast of the woreda town Hagere Selam.

# Selam (Dogu'a Tembien)

**Selam** is a *tabia* or municipality in the Dogu'a Tembien district of the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. The *tabia* centre is in Addi Werho village, located approximately 3 km to the northeast of the *woreda* town Hagere Selam.

## Geography

The *tabia* stretches down north of the ridge occupied by the main road towards the Tinsehe gorge. The highest peak is Imba Khoboro (2,730 m a.s.l.) and the lowest place at the foot of the waterfall in Tinsehe (2,000 m a.s.l.).

### Geology

From the higher to the lower locations, the following geological formations are present:

### Geomorphology and soils

The main geomorphic units, with corresponding soil types are:

#### Hagere Selam Highlands, along the upper basalt and sandstone ridge

* Associated soil types

#### Gently rolling Antalo Limestone plateau (in the lower parts), holding cliffs and valley bottoms on limestone

### Climate and hydrology

#### Climate and meteorology

The rainfall pattern shows a very high seasonality with 70 to 80% of the annual rain falling in July and August. Mean temperature in Addi Werho is 18.8 °C, oscillating between average daily minimum of 10.5 °C and maximum of 26.7 °C. The contrasts between day and night air temperatures are much larger than seasonal contrasts.

#### Rivers

The Tsaliet River (a tributary to Weri’i River) is the most important rivers in the surroundings of the *tabia*. They flow towards Tekezze River and further on to the Nile. These rivers have incised deep gorges which characterise the landscape. The drainage network of the *tabia* is organised as follows:

Whereas they are (nearly) dry during most of the year, during the main rainy season, these rivers carry high runoff discharges, sometimes in the form of flash floods. Especially at the begin of the rainy season they are brown-coloured, evidencing high soil erosion rates.

#### Springs

As there are no permanent rivers, the presence of springs is of utmost importance for the local people. The main springs in the *tabia* are:

* May Gudgwad in Khunale
* May Miheno in Miheno

#### Water harvesting

In this area with rains that last only for a couple of months per year, reservoirs of different sizes allow harvesting runoff from the rainy season for further use in the dry season. Overall they suffer from siltation. Yet, they strongly contribute to greening the landscape, either through irrigation or seepage water. Main reservoirs are:

* Traditional surface water harvesting ponds, particularly in places without permanent springs, called *rahaya*
* *Horoyo*, household ponds, recently constructed through campaigns

### Settlements

The *tabia* centre Addi Worho holds a few administrative offices, a health post, a primary school, and some small shops. There are a few more primary schools across the *tabia*. The main other populated places are:

### Vegetation and exclosures

The *tabia* holds several exclosures, areas that are set aside for regreening, such as Khunale exclosure. Wood harvesting and livestock range are not allowed there. Besides effects on biodiversity, water infiltration, protection from flooding, sediment deposition, carbon sequestration, people commonly have economic benefits from these exclosures through grass harvesting, beekeeping and other non-timber forest products. The local inhabitants also consider it as “land set aside for future generations”.

## Agriculture and livelihood

### Agriculture

The population lives essentially from crop farming, supplemented with off-season work in nearby towns. The land is dominated by farmlands which are clearly demarcated and are cropped every year. Hence the agricultural system is a permanent upland farming system. The farmers have adapted their cropping systems to the spatio-temporal variability in rainfall.

### Schools

Almost all children of the *tabia* are schooled, though in some schools there is lack of classrooms, directly related to the large intake in primary schools over the last decades. Schools in the *tabia* include Khunale school.

## History and culture

### History

The history of the *tabia* is strongly confounded with the history of Tembien.

### Religion and churches

Most inhabitants are Orthodox Christians. The following churches are located in the *tabia*:

* Arba’ite Insesa
* Abune Kiros
* Kidane Mihret, at the foot of, and partly under Tinsehe's waterfall, in a forested cove

### *Inda Siwa*, the local beer houses

In the main villages, there are traditional beer houses (*Inda Siwa*), often in unique settings, where people socialise. Well known in the *tabia* are

* Kindhafti Abadi at Tinsehe
* Genet Gebrehiwet at Tinsehe

## Roads and communication

The main road MekelleHagere SelamAbiy Addi runs at the southern edge of the *tabia*. There are regular bus services to these towns. Further, a rural access road links Tinsehe and Addi Werho to the main asphalt road.

## Tourism

Its mountainous nature and proximity to Mekelle make the *tabia* fit for tourism. As compared to many other mountain areas in Ethiopia the villages are quite accessible, and during walks visitors may be invited for coffee, lunch or even for an overnight stay in a rural homestead.

### Touristic attractions

* Tinsehe waterfall

### Geotouristic sites

The high variability of geological formations and the rugged topography invite for geological and geographic tourism or "geotourism". Geosites in the *tabia* include:

### Birdwatching

Birdwatching (for the species, see the main Dogu'a Tembien page) can be done particularly in the tropical forest at the foot of the Tinsehe waterfall.

### Trekking routes

Trekking routes have been established in this *tabia*. The tracks are not marked on the ground but can be followed using downloaded .GPX files.

* Trek **2**, crosses the *tabia* from north (Khunale) to South (Tinsehe Waterfall)
* Trek **14**, from west to east along the upper ridge at the southern side of the *tabia*
* Trek **23**, from the main road in Miheno, downslope to Addi Idaga

# Selfie culture on Chinese social media

With the spread of smartphones and the rise of social media in China, taking selfies has become a new type of social culture that influences the economy. **Selfie culture on Chinese social media** has generated the "new form of self-disclosure" that affects the construction of individual identities and the existing beauty standards in Chinese society.

## The selfie economy

Following the rapid expansion of smartphones and social media, which encourages users to share photos, Chinese mobile phone companies have started to develop various products that use the need for selfies as a selling point.

For example, Vivo has developed many phones centered around satisfying the selfie needs of younger generations. They utilize the advertising slogan, "Light up your beauty" (Chinese: 照亮你的美) which emphasizes the rich features of the front-facing camera, tailoring its product to their target audience. In May 2013, Meitu, (Chinese: 美图秀秀), which began as a photo editing software company, launched a smartphone specifically designed for taking selfies. Their first smartphone, MeituKiss, featured an automated beauty enhancement feature and a selfie button, showing the importance Meitu is giving to the selfie economy.

According to the market research company Aurora, image editing applications had a total of 535 million users in China between 2017 and 2018. Among these apps, Meitu is the software that has the most users, with a total of 214 million installations by the last week of May 2018. Their photography app, BeautyCam (Chinese: 美颜相机), had 138 million installations and ranked second in its category.

In a survey conducted by a team of Chinese university students, 82.4% of the university participants take selfies in their daily lives. This statistic also matches the 2018 Meitu user data research, illustrating that there is a significant market for selfies in China.

## The beauty filter controversy

Posting selfies on social media platforms has become an increasingly popular way for young Chinese people to showcase themselves to others. More and more camera-based products are being launched; and, use of beauty enhancement functions are also being heavily promoted. Unlike photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, beauty apps on mobile phones are much easier to use. Some even offer beauty functions that are just a click away. As technology continues to advance, increasingly powerful and convenient photo processing applications for mobile phones are emerging, gradually evolving into a controversial phenomenon on Chinese social media.

### Pros

#### Gaining self confidence

In psychology, there is a phenomenon known as the 'halo effect', whereby an individual's perception of others attributes is judged upon the basis of some other unrelated attribute. In other words, impressions are made out of some external factors. Through the use of beauty filters, individuals can achieve a more refined appearance, allowing others to make a positive impression of themselves more easily. In the survey, a majority of university students claimed, that the beauty-filtered photos got them more attention and compliments. These filters give the students more self-confidence by getting them more social approval.

#### Promoting the economy

The emergence of beauty products has led to the development of an economy and a new industrial chain. People are able to present a relatively perfect image more easily online, thus giving rise to many internet celebrities, streamers, and other extended professions such as photo researcher, streamer assistant, etc. Specifically, photo retouching services is available on the Chinese e-commerce site Taobao, with the top four shops receiving more than 10,000 orders per month.

### Cons

#### Eliminating aesthetic diversity

While beauty filters have brought quicker and easier social interaction, people's aesthetics have become less diverse as a uniform beauty standard has developed. The mainstream beauty filters seek smooth and flawless skin, slim chins and shiny big eyes. Dark circles and wrinkles are eliminated. The beauty filter creates a set of rules for beauty standards. Within the rules, everyone is young, beautiful and slender. The widespread access to beauty filters is also stifling the development of a diverse aesthetic, banishing those who are not slender, who have dark circles under their eyes, or who have wrinkles from the realm of "beauty".

#### Identity anxiety

The use of beauty filters can also create a psychological gap and a self-identity crisis. When the ideal does not match the reality, the social system that people have worked so hard to build is in danger of collapsing. In August 2019, a live streamer with the username "Your Highness Qiaobiluo"(Chinese: 乔碧萝殿下) was drawn into a situation where her beauty filter suddenly stopped working in the middle of a collaborative livestream. The difference in her unfiltered physical appearance drew controversy as many of her fans felt deceived. The incident brought wider social concern and an indelible negative impression to the streamer. She admitted that it was a planned event used to gain attention. Ultimately, she was banned from major live streaming platforms for "inappropriate commercial exploitation".

Among the statistics launched among university students, 80% of interviewees felt that there was a difference between themselves under the filter and their real selves, while 45% said that the prevalence of beauty filters has invariably added to their stress and anxiety. Some of them have even begun to avoid real social interaction, opting for online friendships instead. Excessive use of filters can therefore take away confidence, eventually led to a monotonous beauty ideal.

## Selfie and WeChat Moments

WeChat is China's leading communication software with over one billion active users per month. Its built-in "Moments" (Chinese: 朋友圈) allows users to share pictures, on which friends from the users' contact lists can send likes or comments.

Posting selfies in "Moments" provides a quick and easy way to present oneself, seek recognition and build a sense of self-identity by getting likes and comments. In "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life", Goffman describes daily social activities as a theatrical stage where individuals seek to maintain an appropriate image to ensure that others perceive them favourably. In the context of WeChat's "Moments", selfies are not just a type of picture, but have become a social device for shaping one's self-image.

# Serbisyo All Access

***CNN Philippines Serbisyo All Access*** (simply **Serbisyo All Access**, lit. *All Access Service*) was the flagship public-service program of CNN Philippines and its predecessors Solar News Channel and 9TV. It aired on the weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (PST) before *Sports Desk Morning Edition*. The program also had a TV and radio hook-up over 8 RPN-TV Stations and 13 RPN-Radyo Ronda stations nationwide since June 9, 2014. The program initially had a two-hour runtime until April 4, 2016, when it was reduced to 1 hour to give way for the newly launched CNN Philippines Balitaan.

The program ended on its slot last January 27, 2017, and was replaced with *Newsroom Ngayon* on January 30, 2017. However, the **Serbisyo All Access** name still continues as a segment of *Newsroom Ngayon* as *Serbisyo Ngayon*.

## Background

The show was the sole public-service program produced by CNN Philippines, carried over from the network's predecessors Solar News Channel and 9TV and the channel's first locally produced program in Filipino vernacular language, as it serves public needs. It is also CNN PH's only program that uses vernacular language until April 2016 when the network's first ever Filipino language newscast *Balitaan* was launched.

The program was a one-stop-shop for complainants, queries and feedback from the public to government organizations, the private sector and NGOs through their Action Center. Up-to-date live reports via phone line or on-site from CNN Philippines reporters also air on the program - albeit recently scaled down until the end of its run. Advisories on power, water interruptions and missing people are flashed on the final segment of the show. The show was anchored jointly by Gani Oro and Amelyn Veloso from its inception until September 2016. This was Oro's comeback project after his unsuccessful bid for the Quezon City 5th district congressional bid in the 2013 national elections and his television return after a long stint at Super Radyo DZBB.

In September 2016, Gani Oro left the network to join DZRJ 810 AM Radyo Bandido and 8TriMedia Broadcasting Network (coinciding with the launch of his new weekday afternoon program "Oro Mismo"), leaving Amelyn Veloso as the sole anchor until January 27, 2017.

***Pop-Up Dynamo!*** is the debut studio album by Swedish pop band PG Roxette, released on 19 October 2022 by Elevator Entertainment and Parlophone.

The album was recorded alongside several long-time Roxette contributors, including keyboardist and producer Clarence Öfwerman, bassist Magnus Börjeson, guitarists Jonas Isacsson and Christoffer Lundquist, and vocalists Helena Josefsson and Dea Norberg. The record also features vocals from Swedish singer Léon.

Five singles were released from the album: "The Loneliest Girl in the World", "Walking on Air", "My Chosen One", "Headphones On", and a Lost Boys remix of "The Craziest Thing". Several other releases were issued by the band during the album's promotion cycle, including the non-album single "Wish You the Best for Xmas", and the four track *Incognito* EP. The band also released a cover version of the Metallica song "Nothing Else Matters".

The album received generally positive reviews upon release, with reviews commending Gessle for continuing to record using the traditional Roxette sound. It was a commercial success as well, debuting at number two in Gessle's native Sweden, and charting in several other European territories.

## Background and recording

Marie Fredriksson (left) and Per Gessle (right), performing as Roxette at the Dutch music festival Bospop in 2011.

Swedish pop music duo Roxette were formed in 1986 by songwriter Per Gessle and vocalist Marie Fredriksson. Fredriksson died on 9 December 2019; she had been diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002. Gessle had written the majority of Roxette's songs, but said he would not continue recording under the Roxette name following Fredriksson's death, saying instead that he wanted to find a new way to "keep the legacy of Roxette alive. I've written almost every song Roxette has recorded over the years, and they mean the world to me." He said: "Replacing Marie is impossible, and that was never my intention. Our Roxette era was a fantasy come true that we got to experience together. I look forward to continuing this journey, but in a different way. If Marie were still with us, we would of course do it together."

Gessle created the band name PG Roxette, and chose vocalists Helena Josefsson and Dea Norberg to sing on *Pop-Up Dynamo!*. Both singers had provided vocals on Gessle's previous work, either on his solo material or as backing vocalists on Roxette's later discography. The album was recorded alongside several other long-time contributors to Roxette, including keyboardist and producer Clarence Öfwerman, bassist Magnus Börjeson, and guitarists Jonas Isacsson and Christoffer Lundquist. "My Chosen One" features vocals from Swedish singer Léon. *Pop-Up Dynamo!* is dedicated to both Fredrikson and Roxette drummer Per "Pelle" Alsing, who died in 2020.

## Composition and style

"Walking on Air" was the first song Gessle wrote for *Pop-Up Dynamo!*, and was the template used to create the rest of the album. He sought to mix modern production techniques with the sound of previous Roxette albums *Look Sharp!* (1988) and *Joyride* (1991). The song was written at the request of the producers of *Top Gun: Maverick*, who asked him to compose a song for a scene in the film where a character is "dancing on a beach." He said the producers "never came back to me, so I kept the song for myself. I don't know if they didn't like it, or if they skipped that particular scene." Helena Josefsson sings lead vocals in the chorus, with overdubbed vocals by Dea Norberg.

Renowned for Sound described "Me and You and Everything In Between" as one of the album's highlights, and a possible single. The song was demoed by Gessle and Mats Persson in May 2020 at Tits & Ass Studio in Halmstad. Their demo was predominantly acoustic, but Clarence Öfwerman and Magnus Börjeson's production resulted in the song become more electronic; Gessle said their production made the song sound "like a hit single from a different era." "Headphones On" was written in March 2021 and was the last song composed for the album; it was written because Gessle felt the record needed another uptempo track. The track features a guitar solo by Roxette guitarist Jonas Isacsson, and the chorus features layered vocals from Gessle, Josefsson and Norberg. Co-producer Christoffer Lundquist was the vocal producer of the track.

"You Hurt the One You Love the Most" was co-written by Gessle with German producer Giorgio Tuinfort, who had previously worked with artists including Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga. The song was written in February 2020 after Tuinfort commented during a writing session that he wanted to compose a song in the vein of Roxette's 1988 single "Listen to Your Heart". Gessle was initially dismissive and said he "laughed at bit" at the idea, but described the song as "beautiful". Numerous reviews favourably compared it to "Listen to You Heart". "Watch Me Come Undone" is a mid-tempo synth-pop ballad that features Dea Norberg singing lead vocals on the chorus.

Gessle wrote the majority of "The Craziest Thing" in February 2021, but said he struggled to write a chorus for the song. The eventual chorus was taken from an unreleased demo he co-wrote with Swedish musician Eddie Jonsson in the mid-1980s. Gessle said producers Öfwerman and Börjeson turned the song into an "80's bonanza ... with orchestra hits and everything. It made me laugh but I liked it." Barometern compared the track to the work of the Pet Shop Boys, as did Renowned for Sound, who also compared it to Kylie Minogue and the theme to the video game *Mortal Kombat*. "Debris" was written in June 2019, with its demo recorded at Tits & Ass Studio in the summer of 2020. The album version features vocals from Helena Josefsson and Dea Norberg in the chorus, with Lundquist performing Ondes Martenot.

"The Loneliest Girl in the World" was written in March 2020, and was initially more guitar-driven than the version that appears on *Pop-Up Dynamo!*. Gessle said producers Öfwerman and Börjeson altered the track considerably to make it fit alongside the rest of the album, a process which included removing the song's bridge. Renowned for Sound described it as an "infectious pop gem", and Barometern compared it to the work of The Cars. "Jezebel" was originally written as a country song, and was first demoed for Gessle's 2018 solo album *Small Town Talk*. The *Pop-Up Dynamo!* version was recorded in the spring of 2021 at Aerosol Grey Machine in Scania, and is the only song on the album produced by Lundquist. Gessle was initially reluctant to include it on the album, noting how different it was to the rest of the material. Barometern compared the song to Fleetwood Mac.

"My Chosen One" was written and demoed in December 2019 at Tits & Ass Studio, with lead vocals performed by Helena Josefsson. However, after Gessle heard a Léon song on Swedish radio, he invited her to sing lead on the track. Léon's vocals were recorded at Martin's Place in Stockholm, a studio owned by Dutch musician Martin Garrix. "Walk Right In" was composed by Gessle on piano in May 2020. He said its chord progression came "by accident. I played E minor then G minor instead of G major, which is the standard companion to the E minor chord." The song features extended vocal phrasing at the end of each line; Gessle realised he would be unable to perform the vocal, so invited Josefsson to sing on the demo. According to Gessle, producers Öfwerman and Börjeson "found a whole new angle" that was not present on the song's demo, explaining: "They created this bass and groove in a Giorgio Moroder-style that I didn't have on my demo at all. I thought it was really clever." Renowned for Sound said the song begins as "a sweet slow-burner, \[but\] quickly transforms into a disco-inspired Blondie/Donna Summer toe-tapper", describing it as a "memorable closing to the record."

## Release and promotion

The album received generally positive reviews from the Swedish music press, with several publications praising Gessle for expanding on the sound of previous Roxette albums. In their review, *Aftonbladet* said the ballads were the best songs on the album, but said Roxette fans would find the "danceable melodies and disco-pulsing synths" of the uptempo tracks appealing. Although they said Marie Fredriksson could never be replaced, and said the album plays like a tribute to her, they praised the vocals of Helena Josefsson and Dea Norberg. *Expressen* commented on the album's production aesthetic, saying Gessle "takes Roxette's legacy forward by glancing back fondly", summarising that *Pop-Up Dynamo!* is "a pretty fun retro rocker." *Dagens Nyheter* also described the album as "fun", and full of "exuberant and lustful sounds of the eighties". They went on to call Gessle a "pop genius", but said he should compose more challenging material to be successful artistically.

The album received some mixed reviews as well. *Barometern* lamented the loss of the acoustic sound of Gessle's latter solo work, describing the production of *Pop-Up Dynamo!* as "three steps back and one forward". *Göteborgs-Posten* criticised Gessle for continuing Roxette after the death of Marie Fredriksson, as did *Gaffa*, which said: "Instead of accepting defeat, Per Gessle chose to dust off his old synths and create a full-length album in the same style that gave Roxette four *Billboard* number ones."

International reception of the record was positive. Belgischer Rundfunk dubbed it the album of the week, saying that although *Pop-Up Dynamo!* signified the beginning of a new era of Gessle's discography, Roxette fans would "discover a lot of familiar elements in it, both musically and in the people involved". Renowned for Sound gave a glowing, detailed review of every track on the album, praising Gessle's decision to continue under the Roxette name. They summarised by saying Fredriksson would be "proud of the new songs Gessle has produced here. She may be gone, but she will always be within the very fabric of the Roxette name and the incredible legacy that she helped build and that will continue, hopefully for many years to come."

**Piazzale Michelangelo** (Michelangelo Square) is a square with a panoramic view of Florence, Italy, located in the Oltrarno district.

## History

This Florentine piazza was designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi and built in 1869 on a hill just south of the historic center, during the redevelopment of Oltrarno, the left (south) bank of the Arno river. In 1869, Florence was the capital of Italy and the city was involved in an urban renewal, the so-called *Risanamento* or the Renovation of the city's neighborhoods. Lungarni (riverside walkways; "lungarno", singular) were built on the river banks. On the right bank, the fourteenth-century city walls were removed and turned into the Viali di Circonvallazione, mimicking French boulevard design, six lanes wide and lined with trees. On the left bank, winding up the hill of San Miniato the Viale dei Colli was built, an 8 kilometers long street lined with trees ending at the Piazzale Michelangelo, which was built as a broad terrace with a panoramic city view.

The square, dedicated to the Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo, has bronze copies of some of his marble works found elsewhere in Florence: the *David* and the four allegories of the times of day at the Medici Chapel of San Lorenzo.

Poggi designed the loggia in the neoclassical-style that dominates the terrace. Originally it was intended to house a museum of works by Michelangelo. In the wall of the balcony, under the loggia, an epigraph in capital letters refers to his work.

The view captures the heart of Florence from Forte Belvedere to Santa Croce, across the walkways and the bridges crossing the Arno, including the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, the Bargello and the octagonal bell tower of the Badia Fiorentina.

# Ferdinand Peroutka

**Ferdinand Peroutka** (6 February 1895 – 20 April 1978) was a Czech journalist and writer. A prominent political thinker and journalist during the First Czechoslovak Republic, Peroutka was persecuted by the Nazi regime for his democratic convictions and imprisoned at Buchenwald concentration camp. Following the 1948 coup by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, he emigrated to both the United Kingdom and later, the United States.

## Life

Peroutka was born to a Czech family in Prague in 1895. In 1913 he began his career as a journalist. After World War I, he became an editor-in-chief of a new newspaper *Tribuna* ("Tribune"). Some articles published in *Tribuna* were later incorporated into books *Z deníku žurnalistova* ("Of the Journalist's Diary") and above all *Jací jsme* ("What we are like") —in this book Peroutka mapped some myths about the Czech nation.

In 1924 Peroutka passed from *Tribuna* to *Lidové noviny* and founded—thanks to Tomáš Masaryk's donation—the magazine *Přítomnost* ("The Presence"). As a commentator he became very influential, standing on the position of the "Castle" (group of President Masaryk) and criticizing both communists and the Right represented by the national-democratic party of the first Czechoslovak prime minister Karel Kramář. Peroutka expressed his political and other opinions also in several books: *Boje o dnešek* ("Fights for Today"), *Ano a ne* ("Yes and No"), *Budování státu* ("Building of the State") and *Osobnost, chaos a zlozvyky* ("Personality, Chaos and Bad Habits"). As a representative of the Czech democratic tradition, Peroutka was arrested after the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and held in the Buchenwald concentration camp until 1945. He was offered freedom on the condition that he would serve as editor of a collaborationist *Přítomnost*; he refused and spent the whole of the war in Buchenwald.

After liberation, Peroutka became editor-in-chief of the newspaper *Svobodné noviny* and refounded his famous magazine, *Přítomnost*, under the name *Dnešek* ("Today"). The journal became prominent through its critical stance on postwar violence committed on the German minority and hundreds of alleged collaborators. Nonetheless it also fit the general pattern of the time by hosting illusory views of the Communist party underestimating its totalitarian pretensions. Peroutka wrote two dramas: *Oblak a valčík* ("The Cloud and the Waltz") and *Štastlivec Sula* ("Sula the Happy Man"). Political articles Peroutka issued in the book *Tak nebo tak* ("One Way Or Another").

In 1945–1946, Peroutka was also a member of the Provisional National Assembly for the Czechoslovak National Social Party. He sat in parliament until the parliamentary elections in 1946. The 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état caused Peroutka to decide to emigrate. In 1951 he became a director of the Czech division of Radio Free Europe. The summa of his democratic life views was issued in 1959 as *Democratic Manifesto*.

Peroutka also became a novelist in exile. He re-wrote his drama to the novel of the same name. The second novel, *Pozdější život Panny* ("The Later Life of the Virgin"), deals with the idea of the rescue of Joan of Arc. Peroutka's last drama was named *Kdybych se ještě jednou narodil* ("If I Was Born One More Time").

# Serge-Christophe Kolm

**Serge-Christophe Kolm** (born December 1932) is a French economist. His work in economics and related social science includes his analyses, concepts and results in Public Economics and Normative Economics (hence also social ethics and political philosophy) focusing on equality, distributive justice, and efficiency of economic measures, and in other fields and problems often applying them.

## Biography

Born in Paris in December 1932, Serge Kolm studied at the Ecole Polytechnique where his rank permitted him to join the civil service body of the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées (which has a long tradition of applied and theoretical economic research). He worked in Africa, heading water and river basin management in the Sahel region and setting up development plans for the new independent post-colonial states. He held teaching and research positions in France (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Ecole Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Administration Economique, Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, Institut d'Etudes Politiques, General Planning Commission) and in the USA (Harvard University and Stanford University), and advisory and planning functions in Europe, in various countries in transition, and for international organizations (OECD, IMF, WHO). He founded and headed a school for development economics and a research center on socio-economic analysis. Author of over 40 books and several hundred scientific articles, member of the editorial board of various scholarly journals in economics and philosophy, fellow of the Econometric Society since 1972 and of the Institute of Public Economics, Serge Kolm received *honoris* *causa* doctorates from the universities of Fribourg and Soka, and the distinction of Officier des Palmes Académiques from the French Government.

## Work

### Public economics

Kolm's work in Public Economics includes:

* The *Theory of Value Constraints*: second-best optimum with constraints involving prices such as financial result, budget structure, price relations, etc. For each such constraint or set of such constraints, there is a focal point towards which the vector of outputs and inputs moves when the vector of marginal costs and productivities moves towards the price vector. Applications are to optimum taxation, duties, subsidies, management, public firms, tariffs and balance of payments, planning.
* The *Theory of Public Goods*: types and theory of mixed goods, "Kolm triangles", voluntary contributions, mixed public and private financing, crowd out, reasons for and types and effects of "warm-glows", cases of large numbers, types of tacit cooperation (social contracts, matching or lateral reciprocity, Kantian solutions), application to the alleviation of poverty and to environmental management.
* Optimum *non-linear public tariffs and income taxation.*
* The *Theory of Mass Services*: utilities with externalities between users (e.g. congestion).Optimum prices, investment and management. Financial result. The theory of "qualitative returns to scale". Applications to transportation, energy, environment, queuing.
* *Ecological economics* applying the above results plus specific values to environmental issues and policies.

### Normative economics

Kolm's works in Normative Economics include:

* The *Comparison and Measure of Inequalities*: of income (one good), intensive, addition-neutral, intermediate, synthetic, transfers, Schur-convexity, concentrations, truncations, etc., multidimensional, of freedom of choice.
* The reasons for and types of equality.
* "*Equity-no-envy*" as no one preferring any other's allocation to her own, identical to equal potential freedom of choice, consistent with efficiency. Applications. The dual "adequacy"; relation. Actual envy and the definition of envy-free preferences and their properties. Other related principles.
* *Super-equity.* Efficient multi-dimensional equality. Cases of equal partial or total incomes.
* Comparable "fundamental" utility or preferences. Eudemonistic justice as equality, "practical justice" as leximin. Minimax in suffering.
* The definition of welfare as utility or preferences cleaned for individual differences in tastes and hedonic capacities. Computation. Consequences and applications.
* *Social liberty,* "liberal social contracts" and freedom-based public economics. Analysis of social liberty, a liberty fundamental to the laws and individual rights of the modern world, and its implications. Indications of the general liberal theory, including the Liberal Social Contract, in contrast to the classical liberal theory regarding the role of the public sector.
* *Macrojustice*: redistribution taxation respecting efficiency, basic liberties and equal freedom of choice in "Equal-Labour Income Equalization". Application by tax exemption of overtime labour.
* The *Justice and Equity*: Compatibility and relations of equity, efficiency, and preferences.

### Reciprocity and giving

Kolm's works on pro-social conducts include the analyses of:

* *Reciprocity* as favouring one's benefactor, generalized to "extended", "reverse" and "general" reciprocity, including "balance" and "liking" reciprocity, applied in particular to explain spontaneous corrections of a number of "market failures".
* *Joint giving* as contributions to a particular public good.

### Transitions

Kolm's studies and theory of transitions between various kinds of economic systems include the various types of development, and transitions from or to various kinds of socialisms.

### Financial and monetary choices and macroeconomic policy

Kolm's works on financial and monetary choices and macroeconomic policy include:

* The theory of *stochastic dominance* and related comparisons and measures of risk (see above "Inequalities").
* The concept and theory of *external liquidity*: an agent's cash balances also benefit potential sellers to it and influences other agents; resulting optimum monetary policy.
* Explanation of *inflation* from uncertainty and from the allocation of pricing efforts.
* The *shifting unemployment-inflation* political *cycle* and *spiral* and crises forecast, with international synchronization.
* *Optimum external monetary policy*. Paths to monetary union and integration.
* *Are Elections Democracy?*

### Economic psychology

Kolm's works on economic psychology and economic philosophical psychology include:

* *The economic theory of social sentiments*. Applications to *altruism* and to envy.
* Analysis and development of *oriental philosophical psychology* and applications to the modern world.

### Contributed volumes on Kolm's works

The work of Serge Kolm has been the object of a number of conferences and of two volumes of contributions:

* *Social Ethics and Normative Economics, Essays in honour of Serge-Christophe Kolm*, edited by M. Fleurbaey, M. Salles and J. Weymark, Springer, 2011.
* *On Kolm’s Theory of Macrojustice*, edited by C. Gamel and M. Lubrano, Springer, 2010.

# Separation (statistics)

In statistics, **separation** is a phenomenon associated with models for dichotomous or categorical outcomes, including logistic and probit regression. Separation occurs if the predictor (or a linear combination of some subset of the predictors) is associated with only one outcome value when the predictor range is split at a certain value.

## The phenomenon

For example, if the predictor *X* is continuous, and the outcome *y* = 1 for all observed *x* \> 2. If the outcome values are (seemingly) perfectly determined by the predictor (e.g., *y* = 0 when *x*  2) then the condition "complete separation" is said to occur. If instead there is some overlap (e.g., *y* = 0 when *x* \< 2, but *y* has observed values of 0 and 1 when *x* = 2) then "quasi-complete separation" occurs. A 2 × 2 table with an empty (zero) cell is an example of quasi-complete separation.

## The problem

This observed form of the data is important because it sometimes causes problems with the estimation of regression coefficients. For example, maximum likelihood (ML) estimation relies on maximization of the likelihood function, where e.g. in case of a logistic regression with completely separated data the maximum appears at the parameter space's margin, leading to "infinite" estimates, and, along with that, to problems with providing sensible standard errors. Statistical software will often output an arbitrarily large parameter estimate with a very large standard error.

## Possible remedies

An approach to "fix" problems with ML estimation is the use of regularization (or "continuity corrections"). In particular, in case of a logistic regression problem, the use of *exact logistic regression* or *Firth logistic regression*, a bias-reduction method based on a penalized likelihood, may be an option.

Alternatively, one may avoid the problems associated with likelihood maximization by switching to a Bayesian approach to inference. Within a Bayesian framework, the pathologies arising from likelihood maximization are avoided by the use of integration rather than maximization, as well as by the use of sensible prior probability distributions.
