| *The Music Box* |  |

In Allmusic, Jeff Tamarkin gave *Road Trips Volume 4 Number 2* three stars out of five, and wrote a somewhat unfavorable review, saying, "... it would seem that those newbies to the scene were witnessing a band that was offering diminishing returns. From the evidence present on this three-CD compendium of tracks recorded in East Rutherford, N.J., on March 31 and April 1, 1988, the Dead had become more or less predictable and somewhat frayed. That isn't to say there aren't moments of inspiration and near-brilliance here.... " He concluded, "This *Road Trips* volume is far from a disaster, and Grateful Dead loyalists who remember the era fondly are likely to overlook the flaws and enjoy it for what it is. But anyone just discovering this iconic American band would be far better off with one of the classic *Dick's Picks* sets dating from the early '70s."

In All About Jazz, Doug Collette was more positive, writing, "Near the end of the '80s, the Grateful Dead was ascending to a pinnacle of performing comparable to its best days in the previous two decades. On disc two, the ambitious interweaving of vintage original material, as well as covers including Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" (sung so emotively by keyboardist Brent Mydland), benefits tremendously from the excellent recording originally overseen by engineer Dan Healy. In addition, Jeffrey Norman's HDCD mastering brings out the detail in the septet's musicianship, including the snappy interaction between drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart — and not just on \[the\] pithy "Rhythm Devils"/"Space" interval, but their locked in tandem work during "I Need a Miracle."

Writing in *The Music Box*, John Metzger was even more enthusiastic, saying, "Beautifully replicated on *Road Trips, Vol. 4, No. 2* — where the April Fools' Day gig is paired with material from the preceding night — the group's performance at New Jersey's Brendan Byrne Arena was simply spectacular.... As *Road Trips, Vol. 4, No. 2* attests, the Grateful Dead certainly was on an upswing in 1988, one which would last for several years. Whether navigating the hilly terrain that linked "China Cat Sunflower" with "I Know You Rider"; the intoxicated, funky jazz that connected "Estimated Prophet" to "Eyes of the World"; or the frenetically propulsive bluegrass of "Cumberland Blues", the members of the Grateful Dead were fully in synch. Fueled by sobriety, new material, and — for the first time in its career — a hit record, the outfit almost seemed to be making amends for the time it lost during the first half of the decade. Things were certainly good in the world of the Grateful Dead."

# Road Users' Code

***Road Users' Code*** (Chinese: 道路使用者守則; Jyutping: *dou6 lou6 si2 jung6 ze2 sau2 zak1*) is a road users' guide published by the Transport Department of Hong Kong.

## Overview

There is not a single law governing the rules of the road like other jurisdictions. Licensing and road maintenance are under the purview of the Transport Department and the Highways Department respectively.

There are several motoring laws in Hong Kong:

## History

The Road Users' Code was preceded by a publication called the Highway Code, which was targeted almost exclusively toward motorists. In 1984, the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill was announced. Among the provisions of the bill was to rename the Highway Code as the Road Users' Code in order to reflect that the updated publication was to provide guidance to all road users.

Secretary for transport Michael Leung formally announced the new booklet in April 1987. It was first published in June 1987. Updated editions were published in May 2000 and June 2020.

# Robert Baird McClure

**Robert Baird "Bob" McClure** CC OOnt FRCS (Edin.) FICS (November 23, 1900  November 10, 1991) was a Canadian physician, medical missionary to China, Taiwan, Gaza, India, and Borneo, and the 23rd Moderator of the United Church of Canada, the first unordained lay person to hold that position.

## Early life

Robert McClure's father, Dr. William McClure, was born in Lachute, Quebec, and earned a medical degree under William Osler at McGill University. William's wife, Margaret (nee Baird) McClure, was born in Pennsylvania. Together, the two became missionaries at a Presbyterian mission in Wuhan, China in 1888. The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 forced the McClures and their two young daughters to evacuate to the port of Shanghai, although Margaret was three months pregnant. From Shanghai, they parted ways. William joined the medical unit of HMS *Centurion* under the command of Captain John Jellicoe, which was headed for Beijing as part of the Seymour Expedition. Margaret and her daughters sailed to North America on the SS *Shinano Maru*, landing at Portland, Oregon, where her son Robert was born on November 23, 1900. By 1901, the Boxer Rebellion had been suppressed, and the McClures were reunited in Weihui, where the Presbyterian Church had established a new mission.

Robert McClure grew up in the Weihui compound, and due to his friendships with Chinese playmates, could speak both English and Mandarin by an early age. In 1910, William took a two-year sabbatical and returned with his family to North America, staying with Margaret's relatives in Wooster, Ohio. In 1912, when William was scheduled to return to Weihui, the family made the decision that William and 11-year-old Robert would return to China, while Margaret would stay in North America with her daughters as they completed their primary and high school studies.

After three more years in China, William returned with Robert to North America for another sabbatical, and the family reunited in Toronto, where Robert's two sisters were enrolled at school, Janet at the University of Toronto, and Margaret at Harbord Collegiate Institute. Robert was also enrolled at Harbord, and during his first summer in Toronto, he worked at the Russell Motor Car Company, making munitions for the Canadian Expeditionary Force fighting in the First World War. The next summer, he worked on a farm as part of the "Soldiers of the Soil" program.

## University

In the fall of 1917, Robert enrolled in medicine at the University of Toronto, working evenings and weekends as a stevedore at the Toronto docks or a baggage handler at Union Station to earn enough to pay his tuition. He also attended Bloor Street Church, where he was greatly influenced by the sermons of Dr. George C. Pigeon, who would go on to become the first Moderator of the United Church of Canada in 1925.

In 1920, Robert met Amy Hislop and the two started to date. In 1922, McClure graduated with his medical degree, and was planning to do post-graduate surgical work at Harvard University before joining the British Colonial Service. He was approached by George Pidgeon, who asked McClure if he would instead consider travelling to Qinyang, China to replace the doctor at the Presbyterian mission hospital who had been killed by bandits. When McClure pointed out that he needed a year of surgical training, Pidgeon arranged for McClure to work with Dr. Kenneth Perfect at Western Hospital in Toronto for a year.

## China missionary

McClure arrived in China in early 1924. Since he could speak Mandarin but could neither read nor write Chinese characters, he enrolled in Chinese language school for several months. McClure then travelled to Qinyang to take up his post as mission doctor at the Menzies Memorial Hospital. The following year, with the formation of the United Church of Canada from the union of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregationalist Churches, the hospital and mission became a United Church charge.

In 1926, Robert asked a colleague travelling to Toronto to present Amy Hislop with his marriage proposal; Amy said yes, and the two met later that year in Tianjin to be married. Robert returned to Qinyang with his new bride, but less than a year later full civil war broke out between the Kuomintang, Communists and Nationalists, forcing Robert and his pregnant wife to flee to Tianjin. McClure relocated to a Presbyterian mission hospital in Taipei on the island of Taiwan, which was occupied by Japan at the time. There he worked with Dr. George Gushue-Taylor, a highly respected English surgeon who in 1917 had co-authored a Taiwanese-language nursing manual, *Lāi-goā-kho Khàn-hō͘-ha̍k*. In addition to his medical work, McClure started to learn the Amoy dialect so he could speak directly with his patients, and he also learned some rudimentary Japanese for his dealings with local authorities. Two children were born to the McClures during their time in Taiwan.

Prodded by Gushue-Taylor, McClure made the decision to earn his FRCS degree, and in 1930, travelled to the UK to commence his studies. After surgical training and study at Chelsea Hospital, McClure failed the FRCS exam. He rejoined his family in Canada and studied surgery at Toronto General Hospital then re-took the FRCS exam in Toronto in the spring of 1931 but for a second time, he failed. He immediately travelled to Edinburgh to sit for the summer exam, and this time, he passed.

During his studies in Edinburgh, McClure had learned about the use of radium in cancer treatments. At the time, radium was very expensive, costing £15,000 per gram. In preparation for a return to the mission hospital at Qinyang, McClure raised enough money to buy a few micrograms of radium. One of his donors was diplomat Vincent Massey. McClure was the second missionary doctor in the world to buy radium (the first being the Canadian doctor William James Wanless for the Miraj Medical Centre in India.)

The family moved back to Qinyang in late 1931. In the next two years, the McClure family expanded with the arrival of two more children. In 1934, McClure travelled to Europe for five months to study the latest developments in the use of radiation treatments for cancer.

In 1937, McClure became the Field Director for the International Red Cross (IRC), and in this role, tried to convince all the factions vying for control of central China to allow for the free movement of medical supplies and treatment of wounded soldiers. During one of these attempts, he was detained by Japanese soldiers as a spy, and was only saved from immediate execution by the intervention of a Japanese officer who had worked with McClure on rural reconstruction.

On February 23, 1938, McClure crossed paths with fellow Canadian doctor Norman Bethune, who was travelling to join Communist forces at Shanxi. McClure biographer Munro Scott characterized the meeting as unpleasant, saying, "Dr. McClure had found Dr. Bethune to be very anti-Canadian, paranoic about his thoracic work, too militantly communist, and bitter." It was the only meeting of the two Canadian doctors — 18 months later Bethune would die from blood poisoning contracted while performing combat surgery.

Later that spring, McClure had to abandon attempts to negotiate with the Japanese forces in China when he learned they had placed a bounty of US$50,000 on his head. Through his work with the IRC, he did meet Soong Mei-ling, wife of Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek. McClure developed a friendship with both of them, and a few months later Soong Mei-Ling asked McClure to travel to England to speak at a World Red Cross Conference on behalf of the Kuomintang's Central China Committee.

With the situation in China deteriorating, McClure was unable to return to his work, so he reunited with his family in Toronto and filled his time doing fundraising tours of the United States and Europe for the IRC before attending a world missionary conference in Madras, India. While there, McClure was told about the Burma Road that had just been completed by the British to connect Rangoon, Burma to Kunming, China. Seeing this as a potential way to get medical supplies into China for the IRC while bypassing Chinese ports blocked by warring factions, McClure decided to test it, and became only the third person to drive a car the length of the road. McClure set out to organize regular relief convoys along the road.

In late 1939, McClure was pinned between two trucks, suffering several serious injuries, and travelled back to Canada to convalesce. While there, he made several public speeches in which he accused the Canadian government of allowing nickel to be exported through various clandestine channels to Japan, which was then using it for war munitions against China. On December 7, 1940, McClure was summoned to a meeting in Ottawa with the prime minister, William Lyon MacKenzie King. Although King admitted to McClure that Canadian nickel was making its way to Japan in greater amounts than even McClure had suspected, King ordered McClure to recant his speeches or face arrest for subversive activities under the Defence of Canada Regulations and the War Measures Act. Realizing he could not help China or the IRC from prison, McClure unhappily sat down with Under-secretary of State Norman Robertson to craft a letter of apology.

In April 1941, McClure was approached by the Quaker organization Friends' Ambulance Unit (FAU) to move medical supplies and surgical teams into China along the Burma Road while evacuating wounded. McClure immediately left for Asia, and quickly set up what became known as the "China Convoy."

By 1942, McClure's abilities, knowledge of the Chinese people and friendship with Chiang Kai-shek came to the attention of Vincent Massey, previously one of McClure's donors of funds for radium, and at the time Canada's High Commissioner in the UK. Massey sent a telegram to Norman Robertson in Ottawa suggesting McClure would be an ideal candidate as "Canadian Minister to China." But Roberston reminded Prime Minister King of the "thoroughly unsatisfactory business" they had experienced with McClure two years previous, and King noted "I wouldn't consider him."

In addition to his organizational work, McClure also handled surgery at the hospital at Baoshan. The issue of how to rescue injured Allied pilots who had been forced to land in remote Himalayan valleys came to the attention of McClure. He had learned how to parachute in Toronto, and several times parachuted into remote locations in order to give first aid and organize transportation of injured pilots out to the Burma Road, where they could be evacuated.

During this time, McClure's friendship with Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling came to end when Soong Mei-ling demanded that medical supplies coming up the Burma Road not be used on wounded Communist soldiers, which McClure refused to consider.

In 1945, as the Japanese withdrew from northern China, McClure organized medical relief operations for the province of Hunan. In June 1946, with the wartime FAU morphing into the peacetime Friends Service Unit, McClure opened a United Church mission hospital in Hankou and spent two years there.

In 1948, the Communist faction under Mao Zedong swept across China, driving the Kuomintang off-shore to Taiwan. Although McClure was willing to stay in China during the Communist takeover and try to negotiate his medical services with the new regime, he was suddenly called back to Canada due to the critical illness of one of his daughters. By the time she recovered, the Communist takeover of China was complete, and McClure found himself locked out of China due to his former friendship with Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling.

## Gaza

Following his return to Canada, McClure spent 18 months as surgeon and gynaecologist in a group practice in Toronto, which he recalled as "a dull life" after his adventures in China and Burma. In 1950, the Church Missionary Society sent him to the Gaza Strip to run a mission hospital. His one-year appointment dragged on to four years because the Church Missionary Society was unable to locate a replacement surgeon. Finally McClure jokingly suggested they sell the hospital, and to his surprise, they did agree to allow McClure to sell the hospital to another mission society.

## India

Almost immediately, the United Church of Canada sent McClure to the Ratlam Christian Hospital at Ratlam, India. The hospital had only been used for minor surgery before his arrival, but now he set out to make it a centre of major surgery as well as a treatment centre for bone fractures. McClure also set up a medical lab, and started a program to train people as basic lab technicians. After four months of training, each technician was sent back to their village able to handle basic lab procedures such as blood counts and slide smears.

On September 1, 1966, the Canadian Broadcasting Company aired a television special "Dr. Bob McClure: medical missionary" about his life and his work in Ratlam. It was only the second colour program to air on CBC-TV. During the program, McClure talked about the reason he sought missionary work: "One of the great motivations in missionary work is the spirit of adventure. I would define adventure as being risk with a purpose, as distinct from simply risk of weaving at high speed through crowded traffic. That sort of risk with purpose gives you adventure and a good feeling, a thrill... and a very good feeling when it is all over." In terms of the suffering he saw around him, McClure said, "Sure there are things you meet that make you feel very deeply, but emotionalism must be expressed in long-term determination, not in fluffy sentimentality."

McClure stayed at Ratlam for 13 years. In 1967, at the age of 66, he declared that he was retiring, and returned to Canada.

## Moderator

In 1967, the United Church, with a million adult members, was the largest Protestant denomination in Canada. Since its inception in 1925, the spiritual head of the church, the moderator, had always been an ordained minister. But in the late 1960s, discontent was starting to ripple through the church. Canadian author Pierre Berton, in his 1966 book *The Comfortable Pew*, called the hierarchy of the mainline denominations in Canada too staid, the clergy too interested in liturgy rather than engagement with issues of social justice. At the 23rd General Council of the United Church in 1968, delegates were looking for a new voice, and elected the forthright and plain-spoken Bob McClure as moderator, the first layperson to hold that office. As McClure admitted, "In appointing a layman as a Moderator in a General Council with probably 50 expert theologians present, it’s obvious the United Church didn't want theological views. They appointed a layman as Moderator presumably because they wanted a clear view of the relationship of the Canadian citizen to the needs of a very shrinking world."

During his three-year term, McClure was not afraid to espouse controversial viewse not supported by church policy, admitting in an interview three months after his election "my tongue has already gotten me in a little hot water." Some of the items McClure supported such as legalized abortion and the acceptance of American draft dodgers were not church policy, but the United Church came to support them in the years after his term ended.

## Retirement

After his term as moderator ended, McClure's "retirement" became an opportunity to travel the world and use his medical skills on a voluntary basis. The 70-year-old first travelled to Southeast Asia as an OXFAM volunteer to do a family planning survey. He then accepted a medical position at a Methodist mission hospital in Malaysia. In 1975, he travelled to the Amazon Basin of Peru to inoculate river communities. In 1977, he worked as a volunteer surgeon in Kimpese, Zaire. In 1978, as his last medical work, he treated patients at a United Church clinic in Fort Simpson, British Columbia.

In 1979, at age 78, he settled down in Toronto, but was a frequent public speaker, averaging 15 speeches a month. He also led annual tourist groups to some of his former locations in China, India, the Burma Road, and Borneo.

At age 90, he was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer, and died on November 9, 1991.

## Psst…Psst! Debut Album

"Psst...psst!" comes from the opening track, a chamber arrangement of György Ligeti's "Mysteries of the Macabre" a giddily anarchic play of instrumental outbursts and spoken word. "Memories of an Echo," evocative of the ancient Japanese court music tradition, gagaku; and dreamy washes of distorted sound in Stephen Vitiello's "Yellow."

The record features absurdly virtuosic music by Ligeti and Erickson, it features also soundscapes by Kyr and Vitiello, a Rzewski trifecta. It also includes music by Frederic Rzewski (his "Mollitude," composed for Barth), Valentin Silvestrov and Radiohead. Thom Yorke and Colin Greenwood contribute to a remix of that band's "Nude."

# Robert Bolton (dean of Carlisle)

**Robert Bolton** (1697–1763) was an English churchman, dean of Carlisle from 1735.

## Life

He was born in London in April 1697. His father was a merchant in Lambeth, who died when his son was in his third year. He received his education at Kensington. He was admitted a commoner of Wadham College, Oxford on 12 April 1712, where he was subsequently elected a scholar. He graduated B.A. in 1715, and M.A. 13 June 1718. In July 1719 he was transferred to Hart Hall, and soon afterwards took holy orders. In 1722 he was chosen fellow of Dulwich College. He was a favourite with John Robinson, the bishop of London, with whom he resided for about two years. On the resignation of Joseph Butler, Bolton became preacher at the Rolls Chapel in London, 1729, on the nomination of Sir Joseph Jekyll.

As fellow of Dulwich College, Bolton took up residence there on 10 March 1722, but resigned his fellowship on 1 May 1725. He then moved to Kensington, depending mainly on his personal fortune, and became close to William Whiston, from he had introductions to both Jekyll and Lord Hardwicke. Bolton was preferred to the deanery of Carlisle, and admitted 1 February 1735. Later (1738) he was instituted vicar of St. Mary's, Reading. He held both benefices together for life, and was non-resident in his deanery. He raised some money to add to poor livings in the diocese of Carlisle.

Bolton died in London on 26 November 1763, having come to town to consult Dr. Anthony Addington. He was buried in the church-porch of St. Mary's, Reading.

## Works

Bolton was popular as a preacher on special occasions, and published some sermons. His most typical work was *Deity's Delay in punishing the Guilty considered on the Principles of Reason* (1751). Bolton issued a collection of short works on the *Choice of Company*, on *Intemperance in Eating and Drinking*, on *Pleasure*, on *Public Worship*, and *Letter to a young Nobleman on leaving School* (1761 and 1762).

# Beverly Karplus Hartline

**Beverly Karplus Hartline** (born 1950) is an American physicist, science communicator, and academic administrator, known for her research in physics outreach to the general public and for the promotion of women in physics and the sciences. She is a former deputy director of the Argonne National Laboratory, and professor emerita of geological engineering at Montana Technological University, where she was vice-chancellor for research and dean of the graduate school before retiring.

## Education and career

Hartline is originally from New Jersey, born in 1950 as the oldest of seven children of physicist Robert Karplus, who was working at the time at the Institute for Advanced Study, and of Betty Karplus, later a science educator. After her father moved to the University of California, Berkeley, she grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. She majored in physics and chemistry at Reed College, learning glassblowing for her senior thesis on organometallic chemistry, and graduating in 1971. She completed a Ph.D. in geophysics in 1978 at the University of Washington; her dissertation research involved thermal convection in the oceanic crust.

After working for two years as a research news journalist for the journal *Science*, she began a career working for US government physics laboratories, starting with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center from 1980 to 1982. She then worked for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 1982 to 1985, and the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility from 1985 to 1996, where she eventually became associate director and project manager.

From 1996 to 1998 she worked as part of the administration of US president Bill Clinton, as an assistant director for physical sciences and engineering in the Office of Science and Technology Policy. She was known there for her hands-on approach to public science outreach, including direct telephone calls to constituents with questions and suggestions about national science policy.

Returning to government laboratory management, she worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1998 to 2001, as project director for the Spallation Neutron Source and acting deputy associate director for strategic and supporting research, and as the deputy director of the Argonne National Laboratory from 2001 to 2003.

Next, she turned to academia, as a visiting professor at Heritage University and then, from 2006 to 2009, as dean of natural sciences, professor of physics, and interim dean of graduate studies and research at Delaware State University. She moved to the University of the District of Columbia in 2009, as associate provost for research and dean of graduate studies, also serving a year there as interim dean of engineering and applied sciences. In 2012, she became vice-chancellor for research and dean of the graduate school at Montana Technological University. She retired in 2021.

In 2002 he pleaded guilty to taking more than $100,000 in bribes, and in 2005 was sentenced to 41 months in prison, despite cooperating with federal investigators.

# Robert C. Janiszewski

**Robert Charles Janiszewski** (born September 18, 1945) is an American former Democratic Party politician who served as county executive of Hudson County, New Jersey, from 1988 to 2001. In 2002 he pleaded guilty to taking more than $100,000 in bribes, and in 2005 was sentenced to 41 months in prison, despite cooperating with federal investigators. He was the highest-ranking elected official in state history ever to work undercover for the FBI.

## Early life

Janiszewski was born in 1945 in Jersey City, New Jersey, of paternal Polish heritage. He attended St. Joseph's School in Jersey City and St. Michael's High School in Union City. He went on to attend Jersey City State College (now New Jersey City University), receiving a B.A. degree in 1967 and an M.A. degree in sociology in 1975. He taught social sciences at Westwood High School and Hudson County Community College.

## Political career

In 1977, Janiszewski was elected to the New Jersey General Assembly, serving from 1978 to 1984. In 1987 he was elected county executive of Hudson County, after winning the Democratic primary against incumbent Edward J. Clark Jr., who had served in the position for 12 years.

He was later appointed a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and chairman of the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority. He entered the race for the Democratic gubernatorial primary in 1997 but withdrew before the election.

## Indictment and conviction

Beginning in 1999, as Janiszewski later testified, he accepted more than $20,000 from Union City psychiatrist Oscar Sandoval in exchange for renewing contracts to provide psychiatric services to the Hudson County jail, juvenile detention facility, and psychiatric hospital. Sandoval funneled some of the payments to Janiszewski through Hudson County Freeholder Nidia Dávila-Colón, who was romantically involved with Sandoval. Cooperating with the FBI, Sandoval arranged a meeting with Janiszewski in November 2000 to deliver another payment at an Atlantic City hotel room. After the meeting, FBI agents confronted Janiszewski with a videotape of him receiving a bribe from Dávila-Colón in 1999 and asked him to cooperate with their corruption investigations.

Janiszewski was allowed to remain in office for nearly a year, secretly recording conversations with his associates as part of the FBI's undercover operation in Hudson County. He resigned abruptly on September 6, 2001, and disappeared from public life. It was later revealed that he was moved out of the state of New Jersey under FBI protection. In February 2002, a reporter from *The Jersey Journal* located Janiszewski working at a ski shop near Hunter Mountain in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where he and his wife had a second home. The FBI moved Janiszewski again soon thereafter.

On October 3, 2002, Janiszewski pleaded guilty to taking more than $100,000 in bribes, testifying that he accepted two bribes of $5,000 each from Dávila-Colón in 1999. Dávila-Colón was indicted later that month, and her trial was held in May and June 2003, with Janiszewski as a key witness. She was convicted on five counts of extortion and mail fraud.

On March 24, 2005, U.S. District Court Judge Joel A. Pisano sentenced Janiszewski to 41 months in prison, the maximum sentence allowed under his plea agreement, despite his cooperation with investigators. Before sentencing he had been living in hiding, most recently working as a construction worker in New York.

Janiszewski was released on April 25, 2008, after serving the last four months of his sentence at a halfway house in Albany, New York.

# Bhaktavatsala Perumal temple, Tirukannamangai

The **Bhaktavatsala Perumal Temple** is a temple dedicated to Hindu god Vishnu, located in Thirukannamangai, a village in Tiruvarur district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Constructed in Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the *Nalayira Divya Prabandham*, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Alvar saints from the 6th–9th centuries CE. It is counted as one among the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Vishnu. Vishnu is worshipped as Bhaktavatsala Perumal and his consort Lakshmi as Kannamangai Nayagi.

The temple is believed to be of significant antiquity and is believed to be initiated by the Medieval Cholas of the late 9th century CE, with later contributions at different times from Thanjavur Nayaks. The temple has three inscriptions dating from the Chola period. The temple has a five-tiered *rajagopuram* (gateway tower) and enshrined within a granite wall. The complex contains all the shrines and the temple tank is located outside the main entrance of the temple.

Bhaktavatsala Perumal is believed to have appeared to marry his consort Lakshmi in the place. The temple observes six daily rituals and three yearly festivals. The chariot festival, celebrated during the Tamil month of *Chittirai* (March–April), is the most prominent festival of the temple. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

## Legend

As per Hindu legend, Varuna, the guardian deity of the west and sage Romasa are believed to have worshipped Vishnu at this place. The beehive in the temple is believed to be devas worshipping Vishnu and in modern times, has special rituals performed for it. Shiva is believed to guard the four corners of the temple. As per another legend, when the Ocean of Milk was churned by asuras and devas, various objects emerged from it. At the end of it, Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, emerged, and was too shy to look at Vishnu. She went on to Thirukannamangai to perform penance seeking the hands of Vishnu for marriage. The festival deity of the temple is called Perum Purak katal as he is believed to have left his place to marry her. Local legend marks the places as Lakshmi Vanam, the forest where Lakshmi performed her penance. The temple tank is believed to have originated from the water drops in Brahma's cache when he worshipped Vamana, an avatar of Vishnu. The temple finds mention in *Skanda Purana* and *Brahmanda Purana*.

## Architecture

The temple has a 5-tier *rajagopuram* and a vast temple complex. The prime deity, Bhaktavatsalar has an imposing image. The temple tank is situated right opposite to the temple and is considered one of the largest temple tanks in the state. This shrine is also referred to as *Saptamrita Kshetram* (seven celebrated elements of nature), referring to seven of its elements such as *Vimanam*, *Mandapam*, *aaranyam*, *tirtham*, *kshetram*, river and town. The main entrance of the temple faces the East and at the entrance of the temple, there is a four pillared open hall. The temple has a 90 ft (27 m) tall rajagopuram (temple tower) and is enclosed by rectangular walls around it. There is a smaller temple tower on the western side. The walls of the temple is surrounded by large streets, through which the temple chariot passes along during festivals. A rare image of Buddha, image of Vaikunta Natha and Vishnu mounted on his eagle mount Garuda are the major images in the temple. There is a pillared hall leading to the shrine of Kannamangai Thayar shrine that has pillars with Nayak architectural representation.

## Festivals and religious practices

The temple follows the traditions of the Tenkalai sect of Vaishnavite tradition and follows *vaikanasa aagama*. The temple priests perform the *pooja* (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. As at other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Vaishnavaite community, from the Brahmin varna. The temple rituals are performed four times a day: *Kalasanthi* at 8:00 a.m., *Uchikalam* at 12:00 p.m., *Sayarakshai* at 6:00 p.m., and *Ardha Jamam* at 8:30 p.m. Each ritual has three steps: *alangaram* (decoration), *neivethanam* (food offering) and *deepa aradanai* (waving of lamps) for both Bhaktavatsala Perumal and Kannamangai Thayar. During the last step of worship, *nadasvaram* (pipe instrument) and *tavil* (percussion instrument) are played, religious instructions in the *Vedas* (sacred texts) and *Nalayira Divya Prabandam* are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the temple mast. There are weekly, monthly and fortnightly rituals performed in the temple.

During the Tamil month of *Chittirai*, Brahmotsavam, a 10-day festival is celebrated and the festival deity is taken in procession around the streets of the temple in different mounts each day. The other festivals associated with Vishnu temples like Krishna Jayanti, Saturdays of Tamil month Puratasi, Navaratri, Vaikuntha Ekadashi and Vijayadasami are celebrated during the respective days.

## Religious importance

Tirukannamangai is mentioned in *Padma Purana*, one of the 18 sacred scriptures of Hinduism. The temple is revered in *Nalayira Divya Prabandham*, the 7th–9th century Vaishnava canon, by Thirumangai alvar. The Alvar has sung praise, imagining himself as a lady and Bhaktavatsala as his lover. The temple is classified as a *Divya Desam*, one of the 108 Vishnu temples that are mentioned in the book. Many acharyas have also written songs on the various forms of Bhaktavatsala in this Temple. Tirukanna Mankaiyantan, the disciple of Nathamuni was born here during the 10th century. Thivyakavi Pillai Peruman has revered the presiding deity in his works of *Notriyettu Tirupathi Kovai* and Paravai Ramanujar in his works of *Notriyettu Tirupati Tirupugal*. One of the three Sangeetha Mumurthi, namely Muthuswami Dikshitar, has sung praise of the deity in his verses.

This temple is one of the Panchakanna (Krishnaranya) Kshetrams. Kannan refers to Krishna, the avatar of Vishnu, while *pancha* means five and *Kshetrams* refers to holy places. Four of the five temples are situated in Chola Nadu, in modern times, in the region surrounding Kumbakonam and Nagapattinam and one of them in Nadu Nadu. Krishna is not the presiding deity in any of the temples. The processional deity, Krishna, led to the derivation of the names of these places. There are five similar temples located in North India, called Pancha-dvarakas.

# Bhaktha Chetha

***Bhaktha Chetha*** (transl.Devotee Chetha) is a 1940 Tamil language film directed and produced by K. Subrahmanyam. The film featured Papanasam Sivan as the titular character with G. Subbulakshmi, Kothamangalam Subbu, S. R. Janaki and Master R. Thirumalai playing supporting roles.

## Plot

Chetha (Papanasam Sivan) is a cobbler of a lower caste and a devotee of Vishnu living in a slum situated near Hastinapura. Drona (Kothamangalam Subbu) believes that people like Chetha do not possess any right to worship God and treats Chetha in an inferior way. An unexpected turn of events occur when Chetha's son, Seva (Master R. Thirumalai), falls in love with Drona's daughter, Shantha (G. Subbulakshmi), who reciprocates his feelings. Chetha is shocked to learn of their love, but accepts it when he realises that God does not consider any distinction between caste and creed. However, Drona, on learning of Seva's love, becomes livid and immediately orders Chetha to make one thousand pairs of Sandals before daybreak, and that he will be beheaded in public if he fails to accomplish the task. Chetha starts making the sandals. After a point, he becomes completely exhausted and closes his eyes to rest. When he opens them however, he is surprised to find out that the one thousand pairs are ready. He realises that it is God's work. Seeing the task completed, Drona too realises the devotion of Chetha to Vishnu and happily accepts the marriage of Seva and Shantha.

## Cast

Adapted from *The Hindu*

## Production

*Bhaktha Chetha* marked the acting debut of G. Subbulakshmi & Master R. Thirumalai (the one and only film he did). K. Subrahmanyam directed and produced the film under his own banner Madras United Artistes Corporation. The dialogues were written by Subrahmanyam himself. For the film, a life-size cut-out of Subbulakshmi dressed in an expensive silk sari was installed in a hoarding site opposite Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College, Chennai. The saris were changed every week. According to film critic and historian Randor Guy, this was the first and last time such a promotional technique had been done for a Tamil film in Chennai.

## Soundtrack

V. S. Parthasarathy Iyengar composed the film's music and score while Papanasam Sivan wrote the lyrics for the songs. One of the songs sung by Subbulakshmi, "Kanden Kanden" became popular.

## Reception

*Bhaktha Chetha* was a success at the box office. Guy notes that the film is "remembered for the new heroine Subbulakshmi and the daring theme." The film was remade in Telugu as *Jeevana Mukthi* (1942). The remake was a flop.

title: Beyond the Deepening Shadow

abstract: Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers was an artistic installation at the Tower of London in November 2018, to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War. Each evening in the week before Remembrance Day, 10,000 torches were lit in the moat of the tower, after an opening ceremony of a bugle call, minute of silence and reveille. The torches remained lit for several hours while loudspeakers broadcast a soundscape composed by Mira Calix, based on a sonnet written by nurse Mary Borden to a British officer at the Somme. The event was conceived by Tom Piper and directed by Anna Morrissey. The installation was similar to Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, an installation of poppies at the Tower which commemorated the start of the war. That was so popular that crowd control measures were organised to control the large number of spectators.

title: Robe River (Australia)

abstract: Robe River is a river in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The headwaters of the river rise in the Hamersley Range near Marana Spring then flow in a north westerly direction past the Robe River-Deepdale mine, crossing the North West Coastal Highway near the Pannawonica turnoff then discharging into the Indian Ocean near Robe Point. Robe River has two tributaries: Mungarathoona Creek and Kumina Creek. The Robe is an ephemeral river and is restricted to a series of permanent pools that act as important refugia for native fauna through the dry season. The rivers experiences periodical flooding. Following Cyclone Monty in 2004 the river was in full flood resulting in Pannawonnica being cut off and people being rescued from the roof of Yarraloola homestead. In 2009, following heavy rainfall, the river burst its banks cutting roads and railway lines. Yarraloola Station was evacuated and Rio Tinto railway network was disrupted as a result.

# Beth Eden Baptist Church

The **Beth Eden Baptist Church** is a historic Baptist church building at 84 Maple Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built in 1891, it is a fine local example of Romanesque Revival architecture and is further notable as the oldest church on Waltham's South Side. The church was added to the National Historic Register of Historic Places in 1989. Its Settled Pastor is Rev. Dr. Esther Pearson.

## Architecture and history

The church is located on the north side of Maple Street, just west of its junction with Moody Street. Maple Street is a major east-west route through Waltham's South Side, and Moody Street is its economic spine. The church is built principally of brick, but the lower half of the ground floor is fashioned out of uncoursed fieldstone. The gabled roof is oriented north-south, with a tall tower at the southwest corner, that has an open belfry topped by a pyramidal roof with gable-topped clock faces. The main entrance is housed inside a large round-arch opening at the base of the gabled section, and has two board-and-batten doors flanked by Romanesque windows with simple tracery.

The church was designed by William M. Butterfield of Manchester, New Hampshire, and completed in 1891. It is the oldest surviving church building on Waltham's South Side, built during expansion related to the success of the Waltham Watch Company. The congregation was organized out of the city's First Baptist Church in 1887. The building suffered a major fire in 1908, from which it was rebuilt to largely the same plan, allowing increased space for an organ. The tower originally housed a city-owned clock.
