title: Popular Soviet Songs and Youth Music

abstract: Popular Soviet Songs and Youth Music is the sixth album by the British avant-garde music group :zoviet*france:, who, when it was recorded, identified themselves as :zoviet-france:. Recorded in 1984 and 1985, it was first released in 1985 by the band's label Singing Ringing in collaboration with Red Rhino in double cassette format. The packaging was elaborate and very labour-intensive to create; the cassettes sat inside a sculpted, clear-glazed ceramic box with a short length of twine with a hand-painted stick on the end sticking out of the bottom. A seabird feather gathered from the beach at Seascale was stuck through a hole in each side of the box, held in place with sealing wax, which held the cassettes in. The inserts included a parody of the American flag silk-screened on muslin, a piece of paper with art silk-screened on it, and a professionally printed sheet of paper with the track list and various sets of instructions for use of the package in English, Spanish and French, with most of them obviously being jokes. Staalplaat re-released it in triple CD format in 1994, with other editions in 1995 and 2004. These were packaged between two round felt pieces cut from black market Red Army caps, and held together with a Soviet military pin. The design on the front cover piece is by E. Van Weelden. The first edition was problematic; the intent was to sandwich the music CDs between CDs with tones on the play side and felt glued on the label side, but many copies wound up with the music CDs having the felt glued on them. The second and third editions don't have the tone CDs or the glued-on felt. In 2019, Vinyl-on-demand released Popular Soviet Songs on vinyl both as part of the 15 LP/2 x 7" box set Châsse, and as a stand-alone 3 LP + 7" set. Another version of the song "Ram" was released, with an unadorned preacher's voice taped off the radio beginning the track, which segues into the original song. This version was originally on the now out-of-print 1985 Ritual: Land's End compilation cassette on Touch, and is now available on the :zoviet*france: CD Collusion.

# Popular Theatre Troupe

The **Popular Theatre Troupe** was an agitprop ensemble formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1974 as part of a radical movement against Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen's conservative Queensland's government of the day. The troupe toured Australia with a total of 25 original shows between 1974 and 1983. The key players in the ensemble organised ten large community events and were behind many community arts projects.

## Beginnings

The Popular Theatre Troupe had its genesis in the meetings Richard Fotheringham called during 1973 to discuss options for the planned 'fringe theatre' for Queensland's first 'Festival of the Arts' directed by Lesley Gotto. Inspirations and influences included *Oh! What a Lovely War* and The Legend of King O'Malley. A leader of alternative theatre in Britain, Albert Hunt, was brought out by the University of Queensland's English Department to mentor the group. Their first production was Star Trick, a satire lampooning the *Star Trek* television series focussing on the absurdity of local Queensland politics interspersed with ironically sung old popular songs.

Geoffrey Milne in *Theatre Australia (un)limited: Australian theatre since the 1950s* suggests precursors to the Popular Theatre Troupe's type of political theatre included Peter Oysten at Victoria College of the Arts, the San Francisco Mime Troupe and run-of-the-mill communist theatre featured at worker's clubs.

*The White Man's Mission* (1975) by Richard Fotheringham and Albert Hunt stands out as one of the troupe's strongest scripts. It is reproduced in full in one of the few published texts on Brisbane's political theatre, "Challenging the centre" (1995) edited by Steve Capelin, where it takes up 36 pages about Australian racism, slavery and exploitation. It was invited to the Adelaide Festival in 1976.

## Cultural context

Although funded by the Community Arts and Theatre Boards of the Australia Council, the Popular Theatre Troupe received no financial assistance from the Queensland Government. Quite the contrary, as a radical extra-parliamentary opposition, the Popular Theatre Troupe's activities were monitored closely by the Special Branch of the Queensland Police and two of their shows were banned.

The Popular Theatre Troupe were followed by another group, Order By Numbers, which was in some ways an unfunded Popular Theatre Troupe reprise in 1985–86, featuring writers Hugh Watson, Dee Martin, Penny Glass, Kery O'Rourke, Nat Trimarchi and Gavan Fenelon. Order By Numbers and a sister company Teatro Unidad y Liberacion, were administered by an incorporated group called The New Actor's Company. The material for the satires performed were Brisbane cultural and political events, such as the SEQEB Strike in 1985. *A few short wicks in paradise* by the ensemble took the side of the striking workers in opposing anti-union laws of the Bjelke-Petersen government. The founding members of Order By Numbers were Dee Martin, Penny Glass, Gavan Fenelon and Nat Trimarchi. Hugh Watson and Kerry O'Rourke were involved as writers.

Overlapping this period was the genesis of *Street Arts* a community-arts driven theatre company which, unlike *Popular Theatre Troupe* which was more classically agit-prop in performing *for* the audience, were interested in creating theatre by enabling the communities suffering disadvantage, through, circus, song, drama and cabaret. Many of the players, thinkers, writers and artists involved in the and were to find homes in *Street Arts*.

## Key players

Key members of the group included writers and directors Errol O'Neill, John Watson, Fiona Winning, Alexandra Black, Kerry O'Rourke, Dee Martin, Bernie Lewis, Hugh Watson, Stephen Stockwell, Richard Fotheringham, Robert Perrier, Doug Anderson and Albert Hunt. Performers included Kathryn Porrill, Therese Collie, Ken MacLeod, Julie Hickson, Michael Cummings, Lynne Samson, Teresa Wilkinson, John Lane, Duncan Campbell, Lindy Morrison, Errol O'Neill, Leah Cotterell, Katrina Deverey, Nat Trimarchi, Gavin Fenelon and Penny Glass.

## England

Six members of the group staged an English tour of *The White Man's Mission* in 1977, assisted by a cash grant from the Arts Council of Great Britain, a minibus from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and in kind resources from Bradford College Five of those members were, Duncan Campbell, Nick Hughes, Kath Porrill, Janet Mahoney and Micko O'Byrne. The tour received favourable reviews and ran for three weeks in London before doing a regional tour of England.

## Final years

Australia Council funding was withdrawn in 1982 and though some members of the company struggled on, it eventually folded in 1983.

title: Ecopreneurship

abstract: Ecopreneurship is a term coined to represent the process of principles of entrepreneurship being applied to create businesses that solve environmental problems or operate sustainably. The term began to be widely used in the 1990s, and it is otherwise referred to as "environmental entrepreneurship." In the book Merging Economic and Environmental Concerns Through Ecopreneurship, written by Gwyn Schuyler in 1998, ecopreneurs are defined as follows:"Ecopreneurs are entrepreneurs whose business efforts are not only driven by profit, but also by a concern for the environment. Ecopreneurship, also known as environmental entrepreneurship and eco-capitalism, is becoming more widespread as a new market-based approach to identifying opportunities for improving environmental quality and capitalizing upon them in the private sector for profit. "Although ecopreneurship initiatives can span a wide range of issues from ocean pollution to recycling to food waste, they tend to follow reoccurring environmental principles such as systems thinking, cradle to cradle product design, triple bottom line accounting, etc.

# Ecopreneurship

**Ecopreneurship** is a term coined to represent the process of principles of entrepreneurship being applied to create businesses that solve environmental problems or operate sustainably. The term began to be widely used in the 1990s, and it is otherwise referred to as "environmental entrepreneurship." In the book Merging Economic and Environmental Concerns Through Ecopreneurship, written by Gwyn Schuyler in 1998, ecopreneurs are defined as follows:

> "*Ecopreneurs are entrepreneurs whose business efforts are not only driven by profit, but also by a concern for the environment. Ecopreneurship, also known as environmental entrepreneurship and eco-capitalism, is becoming more widespread as a new market-based approach to identifying opportunities for improving environmental quality and capitalizing upon them in the private sector for profit.* "

Although ecopreneurship initiatives can span a wide range of issues from ocean pollution to recycling to food waste, they tend to follow reoccurring environmental principles such as systems thinking, cradle to cradle product design, triple bottom line accounting, etc.

## Systems thinking

Systems Thinking is a core principle to any business concerned with sustainability and the environment. It is an approach to problem solving that studies how something interacts with its environment as a whole, whether that be social, economic or natural. This is in contrast to a linear thinking model, which would isolate a problem and study only its directly related processes to find solutions. It consists of the notion that in order to understand vertical problems (looking deeply at one particular issue), you must understand and evaluate the horizontal environment as a whole (the entire system and its interrelated functions). As it pertains to business is best illustrated in the book Entrepreneurship and Sustainability by Andrea Larsen,

> *"Systems thinking applied to new ventures reminds us that companies operate in complex sets of interlocking living and non-living, including markets and supply chains as well as non-living systems.... Taking a systems perspective reminds us that we are accustomed to thinking of business in terms of discrete units with clear boundaries between them. We forget that these boundaries exist primarily in our minds or as legal constructs."*

## Product design

A lot of companies using ecopreneurship principles incorporate sustainable product design. Product design incorporating sustainability can happen at any stage of the business, including material extraction, logistics, the manufacturing process, disposal, etc. Sustainable product design can be achieved using innovative technology (or Eco-innovation), cradle to cradle design, bio-mimicry, etc. In a description by the government of Canada's department on Innovation, Science and Economic Development, sustainable product design is further explained:

> *"Product design offers the opportunity to incorporate green and socially responsible attributes into a product. Referred to as Design for Sustainability (D4S), it is a process that addresses environmental and social considerations in the earliest stages of the product development process to minimize negative environmental and social impacts throughout the product's life cycle and to comply with the principles of economic, social and ecological sustainability.*

> *Sustainable product design can encompass the selection of materials, use of resources, production requirements and planning for the final disposition (recycling, reuse, remanufacturing, or disposal) of a product. It takes into account the socio-economic circumstances of the company and the opportunity for the firm to address social problems associated with poverty, safety, inequity, health and the working environment. It is not a stand-alone methodology but one that must be integrated with a company's existing product design so that environmental and social parameters can be integrated with traditional product attributes such as quality, cost, and functionality*."

Some examples of ways to implement sustainable product design include:

* streamline design - use fewer materials, find sustainable material substitutes
* procure materials sustainability - choose resources whose extraction is not harmful to the surrounding environment and use the most Eco-friendly extraction methods
* reduce materials - reducing material weight or transportation volume
* optimize production - use production techniques with as little as possible harmful environmental side effects like toxic chemical release, reduce waste and emissions
* improve distribution - use less or reusable packaging, transport and distribute products more efficiently
* cut impact - reduce energy consumption, use cleaner energy sources like solar panels or wind power.
* prolong life - improve durability and reliability of product, offer repair services, re-purpose broken or unused products
* manage waste - implement recycling or reuse programs, up-cycle product, dispose of safely

### Innovative Technology

Many companies practicing ecopreneurship attempt to solve environmental issues either by developing new technology or innovating already existing technologies. The most widespread examples of this are the creation of solar panels and hybrid cars in order to decrease dependency on fossil fuels. Countless other examples from anaerobic digestion food waste systems to portable air purifiers exist. The competitive advantage or core competency for ecopreneurship companies is oftentimes related to a technology they have developed. More examples of companies using innovative technology are below in Business Examples.

### Cradle to Cradle Design

Cradle-to-cradle design is popular environmental approach to product design that seeks to eliminate waste by designing products that can be continuously recirculated through our economy. This is contrasted against a "cradle to grave" design which typically includes single use products or products made of multiple different materials that cannot be separated in order to be recycled properly. Cradle to Cradle design is mimicked after processes in the natural environment which do not create waste but instead every output is an input for another organism. Cradle to Cradle design is often achieved through using environmentally friendly resources (non-toxic) that can either be recycled into other products or composted. Another important component of cradle to cradle design is the ability to easily take products apart for better reuse as well as designing with durability in mind. This idea was popularized by the 2002 book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things written by William McDonough and Michael Braungart.

#### Bio-mimicry

Bio-mimicry (or Biomimetics) is a term created by American biophysicist Otto Schmitt that refers to recreating the solutions for problems found in nature. A definition provided by the Institute for Biomimicry (a non-profit organization) is as follows:

> "Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature's time tested patterns and strategies."

Some examples include studying the building of sand mounds by ants in order to create lower cost air circulation for buildings and trains with curved fronts mimicking the beaks of birds to increase speed. Other examples can be found in Janine Benyus' Ted Talk on biomimicry.

## Triple bottom line accounting

Triple bottom line accounting is an accounting method that combines traditional accounting methods of measuring profit with those that measure social and environmental benefits as well. The phrase was created by John Elkington in 1994 at his company SustainAbility. Some criticisms have sprung up over what methods are to be used to measure environmental and social impacts.

Ecopreneurs may decide to develop their company under traditional business legal forms like a sole proprietorship or an LLC or they might choose some newer forms discussed below. These business forms are popular among the environmentally conscious community for their emphasis on social benefit.

* Low-profit limited liability company or (L3C) is a company that follows the same legal and tax codes as a traditional LLC but has a main goal of increasing social welfare like that of a non-profit organization. This form of business is not available in every state of the US as of 2013.
* Benefit corporation is for-profit legal entity that differs in its purpose and accountability from that of a regular corporation. Its emphasis on mission-driven purpose allows it a different accountability to stakeholders. This form of business is not available in every state of the US as of 2013.

title: Portonaccio sarcophagus

abstract: The Portonaccio sarcophagus is a 2nd-century ancient Roman sarcophagus found in the Portonaccio section of Rome and now held at the Museo Nazionale Romano. Dating to around 180 AD, the sarcophagus was likely used to bury a Roman general killed in the 172–175 AD German-Sarmatic campaign of Marcus Aurelius during the Marcomannic Wars. It is an example of private sculpture of art in the age of Commodus, with visible influences from the design of the Column of Marcus Aurelius.

# Portonaccio sarcophagus

The **Portonaccio sarcophagus** is a 2nd-century ancient Roman sarcophagus found in the Portonaccio section of Rome and now held at the Museo Nazionale Romano (Palazzo Massimo). Dating to around 180 AD, the sarcophagus was likely used to bury a Roman general killed in the 172–175 AD German-Sarmatic campaign of Marcus Aurelius during the Marcomannic Wars. It is an example of private sculpture of art in the age of Commodus, with visible influences from the design of the Column of Marcus Aurelius.

## History

The sarcophagus is one of a group of about twenty-five late Roman battle sarcophagi, with one exception all apparently dating to 170–210, made in Rome or in some cases Athens. These derive from Hellenistic monuments from Pergamon in Asia Minor showing Pergamene victories over the Gauls, and were all presumably commissioned for military commanders. The Portonaccio sarcophagus is the best known and most elaborate of the main Antonine group, and shows both considerable similarities to the Great Ludovisi sarcophagus, the late outlier from about 250, and a considerable contrast in style and mood.

## Description

The chest is very high, with all the front covered in high reliefs of combat between Romans and barbarians. The complex battle is divided into four sections: two above with Roman cavalry, one with Roman infantry, and the last and lowest with the overwhelmed barbarians. At the center, forceful lines converge on the one figure, the cavalry general charging and who does not have a carved face.

The face of the general is unfinished, either because the sculptors awaited a model to work from, or they had produced the work speculatively with no specific commission. There might either have been time to finish it before the burial or the sculptor might not have been able to learn the buyer's face. Some modern studies believe that the sculptors would create biographical scenes that would serve as illustration for anyone's life. The general and his wife are also each shown twice on the lid frieze, together holding each other's hands at the centre, and singly at the ends, again with unfinished faces.

Pairs of figures of an older man and a woman stand beneath trophies at either end of the main face, uninvolved in the battle. The barbarian at right is probably Suebian (Marcomanni, Quadi, or Buri) based on his hairstyle (a Suebian knot). The barbarian on the left is either a high German or a Samartic Iazyges. These are at the same scale as the general, and all the other battling figures are smaller; indeed, in defiance of any attempt at perspective, the soldiers and horses at the "front" of the scene in the lower part are somewhat smaller than their equivalents at the "back" in the upper part. The sarcophagus representations don't exhibit any sympathy for the conquered peoples—they are represented as coarse and despicable, crushed under the superior Romans.

The cover of the sarcophagus has two large acroterions depicting gargoyles and is decorated with a low-relief frieze that depicts a life story (the presentation of a baby to its mother, his education, marriage, and a dedication to Clementia). The face, as on the main sarcophagus, is not depicted. The sarcophagus inscription suggests that it houses a general named Aulo Giulio Pompilio Tito Vivio Levillo Pisone Bereniciano.

## Style

From the Flavian era to the Antonine dynasty, one of the primary themes of Roman art was its military victories over other peoples outside its borders. Roman artists created these celebratory representations both in public space with triumphal arches, columns, and templates and private space (as in funerary reliefs and sarcophagi). In the 3rd century, the Roman senatorial class lost all its military power, so battle scenes were no longer used for their sarcophagi—they were often carved with representations of philosophers or muses instead.

The Portonaccio sarcophagus, compared to earlier works like the Sarcofago Amendola, avoids a Hellenistic manner. The sarcophagus exhibits a composition that is more frenetic and articulated, particularly when compared to sculptures of monomachy. The sculpture's sense of movement is accentuated by its high relief. Figures emerge in the round, while the background is frenzied, never neutral. The faces are expressive, the bodies of the victors dramatically tangled, their lances and symbols realistically cross the space, never appearing on only one plane. The sarcophagus cover is similar to the side reliefs, although it includes elements of Roman Arte plebea and Arte provinciale romana such as the uninterrupted narrative and the unnatural drapery.

# Power hockey

**Power Hockey** also known as Powerchair Hockey is a competitive, fast-paced hockey game based on the use of a **power wheelchair**. The foundation of the sport derives from ice hockey and floor hockey, but with adapted rules to enable people with disabilities, who use a power wheelchair, to play and be active in a competitive team setting. The sport is also referred to as **Electric Wheelchair Hockey** or **Electric Wheelchair Floorball** in various parts of the world.

## History of power hockey

In the 1970s, some public schools began providing sports lessons for pupils with disabilities. The majority of the children had physical disabilities that greatly hindered their movement (muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy) and were not capable of participating in mainstream sports. This type of sport was great for adaptation because it could be played by solely utilizing the maneuverability of the wheelchair, and not focus on gross motor movement and muscle power.

There are similarities with floorball. Power Hockey is also referred to as "Electric Wheelchair Hockey", and the name has some history behind it. With its great similarity to ice hockey, it was initially just called "Wheelchair Hockey", but later in order indicate the use of an electric wheelchair, the word "electric" was added.

Power Hockey (Electric Wheelchair Hockey) began to receive public interest in the late 1980s, when tournaments were established in Germany and Netherlands. However, it wasn't until the 1990s that power hockey began to receive international attention. In 1998, the first ever World Games for Power Hockey were held in Utrecht, Netherlands. In 2001, a big international Power Hockey tournament took place in Minneapolis. In the following years, World Championships, European Championships, and more tournaments were formed in other European countries such as Belgium, Finland, and Italy.

## Positions

The number of players on a specific team can change, but at any given time there are five players on the floor. There is usually one head coach and one assistant coach to direct the movements of the team members.

## Rule changes

* A basketball court is used instead of ice.
* A plastic ball is used instead of a hockey puck.
* The hockey stick that is used is made entirely from plastic.
* Players with excessive limited range and movement can play with a T-stick.
* Due to the goalies' limited ability to move, they do not freeze the ball. Instead, the official blows the whistle to stop play when the ball is underneath the goaltender's wheelchair, and play restarts with a keeperball.
* "Each playoff game will consist of three fifteen minute non-stop time periods. The last two minutes of the third period will be played on a stop-time basis" ("CEWHA Official Tournament Rules and Regulations"). If the score is tied at the end of the game, teams will play for additional five minutes, and whichever team that scores first will win ("CEWHA Official Tournament Rules and Regulations").

## Equipment

* "All players must use a power wheelchair. Manual wheelchairs and electric scooters are not permitted" ("CEWHA Official Tournament Rules and Regulations").
* All players are required to wear their team sweaters that are distinct from the other teams' at all times ("CEWHA Official Tournament Rules and Regulations").
* All players need to be fully equipped with a protective eyewear and a seat belt ("CEWHA Official Tournament Rules and Regulations").


title: Ed Price (American football)

abstract: Edwin Booth Price was an American football, basketball, and baseball player and coach of football. He served as the head football coach at the University of Texas at Austin from 1951 to 1956, compiling a record of 33–27–1. After Blair Cherry's abrupt resignation, Price was promoted to head coach. In his first three seasons, Price carried over the success of Dana X. Bible and Cherry, leading the Longhorns to three winning seasons and two Southwest Conference titles. In 1954, Texas went 4–5–1, its first losing season in 15 years. After capping off three consecutive losing seasons with a 1–9 season, the worst record in school history, Price tendered his resignation in 1956. He stayed on at Texas, first in the physical education department and later as assistant dean of students. Price died on March 1, 1976, at his home in Austin, Texas.

title: East Weare Camp

abstract: East Weare Camp is a former 19th-century detention barracks on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. It is located at East Weares, overlooking Portland Harbour and East Weare Battery. The camp became Grade II Listed in 1978. Both East Weare Battery and East Weare Camp remain on the private property of Portland Port Ltd, and have not been opened to the public. East Weare Camp was built around 1880 as a detention barracks for military service personnel stationed at the Verne Citadel. The barracks was accessed from the citadel by a sally port and zig-zag route, which also gave troops access to the battery below the camp. Later in 1914, part of the camp was converted to coastguard use. Today, the buildings, like the battery below, have become dilapidated and are subject to undergrowth and vandalism. The camp and battery have remained closed to the public, despite published reports in 1996 of Portland Port Ltd's intentions for possible renovation of historic coastal fortifications in the area.

# Porky's Railroad

***Porky's Railroad*** is a Warner Bros. *Looney Tunes* cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin. The short was released on August 7, 1937, and stars Porky Pig.

## Plot

Porky and his 2-2-2 typed locomitive (#1312 "Toots" ) travel the *15th Century Unlimited* and endure a larger locomotive and stubborn bull who crosses the tracks.

## Production notes

In the scene in which Porky pulls the bull's tail, some of his speech is garbled. When played backwards, however, Porky's words here are "...Toots old gal, d-d-don't pop your b-b-b-b...".

When a woodpile is knocked over there is a brief view of a caricatured black man, a derogatory visual reference from the cartoonists to the then commonly used term "a nigger in the woodpile". During the race, Porky runs his train over the top of a boat called the 'S.S Leon', a gag dedicated to the cartoon's producer Leon Schlesinger. Also, the Morse Code heard is a message to write "QST QSL Leon Schlesinger Hollywood picture of Porky"

# Portulaca lutea

***Portulaca lutea***, the **native yellow purslane**, is a species of *Portulaca* that is indigenous to all of the main islands of Hawaii except for Kaua'i and is widespread throughout the Pacific Islands.

## Ecology

*Portulaca lutea* is very much like *Sesuvium portulacastrum* , it is a pan tropical, sea-dispersed beach succulent that can spread and even travel as vegetative fragments which are tolerant of salt water and root easily on landing. It grows on a variety of soils, including lava, coral and sand dunes, in coastal areas from sea level to 390 metres above sea level.

## Appearance

The leaves are oval to round and range in size to 24 mm long. One to three yellow flowers are borne at the ends of the stems. Differs from *Portulaca oleracea* in having grey bark on old sections & large flowers with petals 12 mm long, and an ovoid fruit opening by a cap that splits off to release the many tiny black seeds.

title: Economy of Toulouse

abstract: The economy of the French city of Toulouse is mainly linked to the industries of aeronautics and aerospace. The agglomeration's GDP is approximately 30 billion euros. In 2003, Toulouse was also characterized by a debt rate that was one of the lowest in Europe for a city of its size. In 1999, the total number of people working in Toulouse was 216,480. The unemployment rate was 9.9% in 2005 and was estimated in December 2006 at 9.1%, slightly higher than the national average (8.6%).

# Economy of Toulouse

The **economy of the French city of Toulouse** is mainly linked to the industries of aeronautics and aerospace. The agglomeration's GDP is approximately 30 billion euros. In 2003, Toulouse was also characterized by a debt rate that was one of the lowest in Europe for a city of its size.

In 1999, the total number of people working in Toulouse was 216,480.

The unemployment rate was 9.9% in 2005 and was estimated in December 2006 at 9.1%, slightly higher than the national average (8.6%).

## Agriculture, market gardening

Like most large cities located on the alluvial plain, Toulouse has developed a market garden culture that allows it to have a regular supply of fresh produce. Thus, the southeast and north of the city are areas traditionally devoted to this type of cultivation. However, this practice is tending to diminish, as the available surface area is being reduced by the pressure of land ownership. Toulouse is also known for the cultivation of violets, for their flowers and perfume.

## Industry

Unlike other large cities in France, Toulouse did not experience the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. This specificity kept it away from the major political and strategic decisions for many decades until the arrival of aeronautics in the early 20th century, which reversed the situation. Today, there are few traditional industries in Toulouse, such as the chemical, metallurgical or textile sectors. The AZF factory explosion contributed to the disappearance of one of the city's few factories. What kept Toulouse on the sidelines of major French cities has, over the course of the 20th century, become one of its main assets. In the absence of traditional sectors, the city did not experience crises like Lille and so many other northern European cities after World War II.

### Aeronautics and aerospace

The city has a long history linked to aviation, because well before the First World War, Clément Ader (a native of Muret, south of Toulouse) invented, in 1890, several airplanes: Éole (Avion), the Zephyr (Avion II) and the Aquilon (Avion III). With the First World War, aeronautical activities were relocated to Toulouse because the city was considered far enough from the front lines.

On July 31, 1963, the State began a policy of decentralisation, and the Toulouse region took on a central role as the centre of aeronautics in France, by CNES to Rangueil (south of the city). Following the establishment of the CNES, engineering schools and laboratories began to set up in Toulouse, such as Sup'Aéro, CERT, ENAC, IPSA and the Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems (LAAS), to provide the CNES with researchers. A subsidiary of the Lagardère-Matra group, now Airbus Defence and Space, is located on the Palays site in the southeast of the city. This company, linked to Airbus Group (Airbus parent company) is a leader in the field of observation satellites and is involved in the SPOT satellite and its military version, Helios. Airbus Defence and Space is also involved in ERS, which monitors the planet's environment, and the SoHO program, which conducts research on the sun. The electronic controls of the Ariane is also produced in Toulouse.

In 1998, at the other end of the city, in the Candie area, the aerospace company Thales Alenia Space was established. In 2002 nearly 10,000 people, roughly half of the personnel in France working in the space sector, worked in Toulouse. Many small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and SMIs have joined the industrial fabric of the large aerospace and aeronautics firms.

Toulouse is the European centre of aeronautics and aerospace, and the headquarters of Airbus Industries. Along with Hamburg (Germany), Toulouse is one of the two European centers chosen by Airbus for the design, assembly and testing of its aircraft, including the A380. The plant is located to the west of Toulouse, straddling the Saint-Martin-du-Touch district and the neighboring town of Blagnac. In 2004, this site was confirmed with the installation of the AéroConstellation, which houses the assembly hangars for the wide-body aircraft. In a few years, the new Toulouse Aerospace will open on a 40-hectare site (120,000 m2) on the site of the old Montaudran runways, with the headquarters of the Galileo navigation system.

### Chemistry

Located mainly in the southern part of the city, the chemical cluster includes companies in the heavy chemicals (SNPE, Groupe Etienne Lacroix, Isochem and Raisio), pharmaceutical and paint sectors in Auterive. Toulouse's chemical cluster was very active until the disaster of September 21, 2001: the explosion at the AZF plant killed 30 people and injured about 2,500, as well as causing considerable material damage (in particular to the University of Toulouse-Le Mirail, the Mirail, Empalot, La Reynerie and Rangueil neighborhoods and the Marchand psychiatric hospital). However, chemistry is an old industry in Toulouse with the SNPE, which was originally called the Poudrerie and was located on the Ile du Ramier. This activity has since tended to reorient itself towards fine chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry.

### Computer Science

Numerous companies in the sector are located in Toulouse, including Altran, Atos Origin, Capgemini, IBM, Neo-Soft Services, Osiatis, Sopra Group, Steria and Unilog. The American microprocessor manufacturer Intel opened a European research and development center for smartphone development in early 2012.

Since the end of 2001, the Toulouse Métropole urban community has had a metropolitan telecommunications infrastructure (IMT). Composed of 5 loops totaling 77 km of optical fiber, the ITM extends over the Toulouse Métropole area from north to south and from east to west around Toulouse, from Blagnac to Labège and from L'Union to Tournefeuille. Passing mainly through the Toulouse metro, the ring road and the Canal du Midi, each cable is made up of 144 dark optical fibers, each pair of fibers offering a capacity of 2.5 Gbit/s in both directions.

## Tertiary sector

The city is an important center of tertiary activities. A regional business district, Compans-Caffarelli, was created to meet the demand for offices in the city. This district includes 200,000 square meters of office space, a shopping center with 40 boutiques, a 4-star hotel, a convention center, and an administrative center.

The creation of a new multimodal hub in the Marengo-Périoles-Raynal sector is being studied. This hub will become the city's international business district.

### Finance and insurance

The district has seen the establishment of regional branches of banks and insurance companies such as Crédit Lyonnais or AXA. Many national and international banks and insurance companies are present in Toulouse. The Courtois Bank is a Toulouse bank and the Mutuelle du Rempart is also a Toulouse insurance company. This sector of activity is taking an increasing part in the economic activity of the city, representing in 2021 some 14,410 jobs (including the real estate sector).

### Stores

Stores in the city center include both typical Toulouse shops and those of major brands. The most popular shopping areas in the city center include rue d'Alsace-Lorraine, rue Saint-Rome, rue des Changes, rue du Taur, rue Saint-Antoine-du-T, rue des Filatiers, and the Saint-Georges district, which is home to a renovated shopping mall with more than 50 stores that opened in 2006. There are luxury boutiques in the Victor-Hugo district and in the Saint-Etienne district (antiques district). Other neighborhoods are also undergoing commercial change, such as the Bourse district. The pedestrianization of the city center due to the arrival of the metro aims to encourage the commercial development of the historic center.

The agglomeration is surrounded by numerous shopping centers such as the Grand Porte shopping center in Toulouse-Portet-sur-Garonne, the Labège 2 shopping center in Toulouse-Labège (80 stores), the Carrefour Toulouse Purpan shopping center with 45 stores in the Purpan district, the Espace Gramont shopping center with 100 stores the Roques shopping center in Roques-sur-Garonne, the Blagnac shopping center in Blagnac, the Saint-Orens shopping center in Saint-Orens-de-Gameville, the Fenouillet shopping center in Fenouillet, the Basso-Cambo shopping center (with 30 stores including Hyper Casino and Giga Store) in the Reynerie district, as well as a Val Tolosa project in Plaisance-du-Touch.

By 2010, 100,000 square meters of additional commercial space were planned to be added to the plethora already present in the entire agglomeration. A 30,000 square meter shopping center is to be created in the Toulouse area, a brand village in Nailloux, about 30 kilometers away, as well as the expansion of existing commercial zones are also planned.

### Tourism

The city has numerous museums and festivals (including Marathon des mots, Rio Loco, and gay pride) known throughout France and Europe. In 2006, 5 million tourists came to visit the city each year, including a little over 2.5 million for business tourism, making Toulouse the seventh most visited city in France after Paris, Lyon, Lourdes, Nice, Strasbourg and Bordeaux. Toulouse became the fourth most visited city in France in 2013

Business tourism and conventions account for 80% of this activity, but in recent years, leisure tourism has grown. The city applied for the title of European Capital of Culture for 2013, but in the end Marseille won the title by one vote.

The opening in August 2007 of the Casino-théâtre de Toulouse, the largest in southwestern France, contributed to the city's tourism development.

## Background

In a statement, Guy and Howard Lawrence said, "This song came into existence early 2019 during a writing session at Guy's house in London. We were curiously chopping up samples from various Seventies disco and soul records when suddenly, Fantasy by Aquarian Dream gave us the exact thing we were searching for. This song is made entirely to get a human being to their feet and directly to the dance floor."

title: Ecstasy (Gill sculpture)

abstract: Ecstasy is a relief sculpture by Eric Gill. It depicts a male figure and a female figure, standing and embracing, in the act of copulating. It was acquired by the Tate Gallery in 1982. Gill found creative links between sex and his Catholic spirituality: a drawing for this work was entitled Christ and the Church. The sculpture also draws inspiration from Indian temple sculptures. It may have been modelled on his sister Gladys and her husband Ernest Laughton. From Gill's diary, it seems that he was working on the sculpture from around August 1910 and completed by February 1911. He refers to the sculpture as "'They' group 'fucking'." Correspondence between Gill and Roger Fry connected the work with two other reliefs, A Crucifix and A Roland for an Oliver. The sculpture is made from Portland stone and measures 54 × 18 × 9 inches (137 × 46 × 23 cm). It bears a monogram on the right edge, of an eye on a hand, a symbol used by Gill in his early carvings. It was acquired from the artist by collector Edward Perry Warren in 1912. Warren also owned a marble replica of Rodin's The Kiss that he had commissioned from the original artist. After Warren's death in 1928 and Gill's death in 1940, the sculpture was sold at Sotheby's in March 1949 by Warren's heir H. Asa Thomas. The work was called They by Gill; it only became known as Ecstasy from the Sotheby's sale in 1949. It was bought by the Tate Gallery from Mrs D Webber in 1982. The work was accidentally damaged before it was acquired by the Tate Gallery: the top left corner is missing, including the back of the woman's head and the man's left wrist.

# Powder measure

A **powder measure** is a device for dispensing consistent amounts of smokeless powder or black powder as charges for handloading cartridges used as small arms ammunition.

## Propellant evolution

Firearms using gunpowder could be loaded using a small scoop or charge cup to determine the correct amount for each shot. Some early smokeless propellants called bulk propellants were designed for a similar volume and reaction rate as gunpowder, but most modern smokeless powders have improved efficiency offering more energy from smaller charges. This improved efficiency allows smaller cartridges for increased ammunition capacity. Modern smokeless propellants come in a wide variety of shapes, density, reaction rates, and energy to weight relationships. Similar volumes of different smokeless propellants may produce dangerously different pressures in the same cartridge.

## Dispenser design

Adjustable powder measures became available in the 1880s. One of the earliest was designed by John M. Barlow for the Ideal Manufacturing Company of Connecticut. These powder measures typically use gravity feed from a hopper of powder above an adjustable cavity in a rotating cylinder. A lever rotates the cylinder so the cavity moves between an upward position where powder can drain from the hopper into the cavity, and a lower position where the powder can drain from the cavity into an empty cartridge case.

## Dispenser operation

Modern smokeless propellant charges are specified by weight rather than volume, so the correct adjustment of the charge cavity is determined by weighing the charge dispensed by that adjustment. Some weight variation may be detected in sequential charges dispensed from the same volumetric adjustment.

Bridging or compaction of granular propellants may cause these volumetric dispensers to produce dissimilar charges. Uniformity is enhanced by maintaining a similar level of propellant in the feeding hopper and by avoiding non-uniform vibrations while dispensing charges. Powder measures may dispense more uniform charges of ball propellants than angular extruded Improved Military Rifle propellants.

In a contemporary review, Xavier Russel of the British magazine *Kerrang!* called the pompous sound of Kansas "very dated" and, despite a few pleasant rockers like "Musicatto", found other songs "embarrassing beyond belief". In his retrospective review, AllMusic reviewer Bret Adams remarked that Kansas took a dramatic change in musical viewpoints, becoming "more hard rock and pop than prog rock", which "probably surprised longtime Kansas fans" but gave the band "an interesting, if ultimately short-lived, new direction."

## Early life and college career

Ulinski was born in Pittsburgh and attended Ambridge Area High School in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. After graduating, he went to Marshall University in West Virginia, where he played as a blocking back and an end on the school's football team opposite Frank Gatski, later a teammate on the Cleveland Browns. Ulinski was named to an all-West Virginia team in 1940, and was selected as a little All-American in 1941. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1942 during World War II and played for the Second Air Force Super-Bombers football team as a blocking back in 1944. He was shifted to guard in the middle of that season, where he played for the remainder of his career. Ulinski played for a Fourth Air Force football team in 1945.

## Professional career

John Brickels, an assistant coach for the Cleveland Browns in the new All-America Football Conference (AAFC), noticed Ulinski when he was playing at Marshall. Brickels had been a high school coach in Huntington, West Virginia, where Marshall is located, and saw him in action again when he played for the Super-Bombers. At Brickels' urging, Ulinski signed with the Browns in 1946. The Browns finished that season with a 12–2 record and went on to win the first AAFC championship. Ulinski was named a second-team All-Pro. Cleveland won the AAFC championship again in 1947, when Ulinski began playing middle linebacker on defense in addition to his role on the offensive line. Paul Brown, the coach of the Browns, called him the best offensive guard in the AAFC, and said the team "discovered he is about as good a middle line backer as we have on the team".

Cleveland had a perfect season in 1948, winning all of its games, and Ulinski again was named a second-team All-Pro. The Browns repeated as the league's champions for a fourth year in a row in 1949, Ulinski's last season in professional football.

## Coaching career

### College

Ulinski retired after the 1949 season and began a coaching career, accepting a job working under former Browns teammate Mike Scarry at Santa Clara University in California. Scarry had left a job at Cleveland's Western Reserve University to take the head coaching job at Santa Clara. In 1953, he was hired as an assistant line coach by Purdue University in Indiana.

### Professional

The following year, Brown hired Ulinski to replace Weeb Ewbank as the team's tackles coach after Ewbank resigned to become head coach of the Baltimore Colts. "We've looked forward to the day when Ulinski would return to our organization as a coach", Brown said after the signing, calling him a "fine student of football" and a player who could teach the game well. The Browns, who by the time Ulinski joined as a coach had moved to the National Football League (NFL), won championships in both of Ulinski's first two years as an assistant under Brown.

Paul Brown was fired 1963, two years after Art Modell took ownership of the team, but Ulinski stayed on the staff. Under his successor, former assistant Blanton Collier, worked primarily as a linebackers coach. The Browns won another championship while Ulinski was with the team in 1964.

Ulinski continued as the linebackers coach and worked as an administrative coaching aide until 1971, when he was named the team's film coordinator. He held that position until he retired in 1984, having spent more than 30 years with the Browns as a player and coach. During his time in Cleveland, Ulinski coached numerous offensive linemen and linebackers who were fixtures of the Browns' successful teams of the 1950s and 1960s, including Gatski, Lou Groza, Dick Schafrath, Abe Gibron, Mike McCormack and Gene Hickerson. Gatski, Groza, McCormack and Hickerson were all later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

## Later life and death

Ulinski was inducted into Marshall University's athletic hall of fame in 1986 and the Beaver County, Pennsylvania sports hall of fame in 1990. He suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his later years and died in 2006 at a nursing home in Chardon, Ohio.

# Eduardo J. Corso

**Jesús Eduardo Corso Crispino**, popularly known as **Eduardo J. Corso** (1 September 1920 – 5 December 2012), was a Uruguayan lawyer, agricultural journalist and writer. Articles he wrote were published in magazines and newspapers such as *El País* and *Marcha*, and he was a conservative. According to *El País*, Corso was known for his "brutal" use of language, which earned him some friends and enemies.

## Biography

Corso was born on 1 September 1920 in San Ramón, Canelones Department, Uruguay. He was a supporter of the Civic Union, a small Uruguayan political party. He was the successor of Salvador García Pintos for the "Field Journal" radio station in 1949, and later worked for Radio Rural, Sarandí, Oriental, and El Espectador.

Corso was a mainstay of the agricultural radio sector for over 50 years. Corso was also a journalist: his articles were published in *El País*, *La Mañana*, *El Diario*, *Últimas Noticias* and *Marcha*. Corso was a devout Catholic and his Christian faith bore the stamp of clear conservatism. In 2009, Corso had spent a total of sixty years as a radio journalist and he left the radio station he spent the past thirty years with.

According to *El País*, Corso often used "brutal" language, which earned him friends and enemies. During his career, despite his conservative stance, he never hesitated to express his opinions, which caused some criticism. When democracy returned in 1985, Corso protested against the amnesty granted by Julio María Sanguinetti (which had the backing of most political parties) to the Tupamaros.

He died on 5 December 2012. He is buried at San Ramón Cemetery.

# Eriophorum scheuchzeri

***Eriophorum scheuchzeri*** is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family known by the common names **Scheuchzer's cottongrass** and **white cottongrass**. It has an arctic circumpolar and circumboreal distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. It can be found in Alaska, across Canada, in the Arctic islands, Greenland, Iceland, and across Eurasia. Disjunct occurrences exist in the Rocky Mountains, in the high mountains of southern Europe (the Pyrenees, Alps, and the Caucasus) and on Mount Daisetsu in Japan and some other Asian mountains.

## Description

This species is a perennial herb producing colonies via its rhizomes. The thin stems may reach 70 cm (28 in) tall, but they are often much shorter. The rolled leaf blades are up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long. Leaves at the top of the stem have no blades, just black-tipped sheaths. The inflorescence is a solitary flower head with wispy, cottony, bright white, red-tinged, or silvery bristles up to 3 cm (1.2 in) long.

## Taxonomy

*Eriophorum scheuchzeri* was first described by the German pharmacist, botanist, entomologist and physician David Heinrich Hoppe in 1800.

## Distribution and habitat

This plant can be found at sea level in northern parts of its range and at over 4,000 m (13,000 ft) in elevation farther south. It is a helophyte. It is restricted to wet habitat types, and grows in marshes and wet meadows, by ponds and lakes, and on riverbanks, in moist and wet gravel and sand substrates. It often lines the edges of standing water bodies commonly associated with mosses and other sedges, such as *Carex aquatilis*.

## Uses

Native and indigenous peoples have long been familiar with the plant and its uses. The Inuit have at least three names for Scheuchzer's cottongrass: *pualunnguat*, meaning "imitation mittens"; *kumaksiutinnguat*, meaning "an imitation object to remove lice"; and in North Baffin, *kanguujat*, meaning "what looks like snow geese". It has been used as lamp wicks, boot insoles, and swabs. The cottony flowers have been used as dressings to absorb wound drainage. The plant is also edible and sweet-tasting.

This plant is consumed by muskoxen. Waterfowl feed on the seeds.
