# Peter Pook

**John Anthony Miller** (25 April 1918 – 8 September 1978), better known by his pseudonym **Peter Pook**, was a British author of humorous novels.

## Biography

Born John Anthony Miller on 25 April 1918, in Falmouth, Cornwall, he grew up in Southsea, Hampshire and was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School. At various times in his life he was a boxer, footballer, bank clerk, diver, Royal Marine, Indian Navy Lieutenant, antique dealer, schoolmaster, lecturer and author. His first novel, *Banking on Form*, was published and reprinted by Robert Hale in March 1962, when he was forty-four, but his sense of humour won him a national literary competition when he was only nine. His pen name was from his mother as she was born a Pook and came from a Portsmouth family which had its origins in Devon. Peter Pook died suddenly on 8 September 1978.

## Writing

Writing between 1960 and 1978, Pook produced a series of twenty-three "autobiographical" novels in which the real events of his life were mingled with fanciful situations, and Pook himself is presented as an amiable dunderhead who is taken advantage of at every turn. After the first book in the series, *Banking on Form*, every subsequent volume has Pook's name in the title: *Pook in Boots*, *Pook in Business*, *Pook Sahib*, etc.

Pook's first novel, *Banking on Form*, was well received. *The Daily Telegraph* reviewer wrote that it "provides plenty of amusement". Another reviewer compared it with Richard Gordon's *Doctor at Sea*, saying "Mr Pook takes the lid off banking quite irreverently, often hilariously, but never offensively ... There is nothing deep about the humour but I cannot recall many modern novels in which it is so well sustained." An Australian reviewer considered Pook "an outstanding humorous writer", and wrote "it is a relief and a joy to find a book like .. *Banking on Form* .... wonderful fun."
Pook became *The Daily Mirror* reviewer's "favourite "funny ha-ha" author of many years' chortling", while a later reviewer of *The Teacher's Hand-Pook* found it a "very funny little book", and suggested that "many a teacher might do worse than to take a few tips from the various Pookisms."

Recurring themes in the books are Pook's obsession with physical culture and sport, his military career in the Royal Marines, his teaching and banking careers, overseas travels, his ambition to be an actor and his own writing career. The earlier books are totally light-hearted, though in some of the later works, particularly those depicting the war years, occasional glimpses of grim reality break in.

# Hoang Mai (politician)

**Hoang Mai** (born June 14, 1973) is a Canadian politician, who served as a New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for Brossard—La Prairie from 2011 to 2015.

## Early life

Mai studied pure science and economics before completing his bachelor's degree in law and a master's degree in international private law with a notary option from the Université de Montréal in 1996. He then trained in international law in The Hague. In 1998 he joined an international law office which took him to work in Vietnam, Singapore and Hong Kong before returning to Montreal in 2001. Since 2002, Hoang has been a notary in private practice.

Mai ran in Brossard—La Prairie in the 2008 federal election, but lost to Liberal candidate Alexandra Mendès. He was elected in the 2011 Canadian federal election, defeating Mendès. Born in Montreal to Vietnamese immigrant parents, he and caucus colleague Anne Minh-Thu Quach were the second and third people of Vietnamese descent, following Ève-Mary Thaï Thi Lac, ever elected to the House of Commons of Canada.

Shortly after the election Mai was named to the official opposition shadow cabinet as critic for National Revenue. He was also the first Vice-Chair of the Standing Committee on Finance (FINA) in the House of Commons. In January 2013, he was named Deputy Critic for Justice and began to sit on the Justice and Human rights committee. In March 2014, he was named the Official Opposition Transport critic, replacing Olivia Chow, who resigned and campaigned to become Mayor of Toronto.

He was member of the Canada-Vietnam and Canada-China parliamentary associations.

In the 2015 federal election, Mai ran for re-election in the newly created riding of Brossard—Saint-Lambert, again facing off against Mendès, who defeated him.

title: Robledo Mountains

abstract: The Robledo Mountains are a mountain range in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, just northwest of Las Cruces. They are an uplifted block of Paleozoic rocks on the west side of the Rio Grande Rift. The range was named for Pedro Robledo, who died on May 21, 1598, and was buried nearby. Robledo was the first casualty of the Oñate expedition, sent to colonize the upper Rio Grande valley. A native of Toledo, Spain, Robledo was accompanied on the expedition by his wife and five children. These mountains are home to Early Permian trackways of invertebrates and vertebrates. In 2009, the main locality was designated the 100th active national monument in the United States, and named Prehistoric Trackways National Monument. Rock outcrops in the area preserve numerous examples of early Permian trackways. These trackways include prints of Dimetrodon, Edaphosaurus, Eryops, Cacops and many other small pelycosaurs.

# Museo della Deportazione

The **Museo e Centro di Documentazione della Deportazione e Resistenza** ("Museum and Centre of Documentation of Deportation and Italian Resistance") is a museum in Prato, central Italy, dedicated to the history of Fascism's occurrence and rise to power in Italy. The director of the foundation is Camilla Brunelli.

It records the political, racial, and religious persecution and deportation of people in concentration and extermination camps and with resistance during World War II.

## History

The institution is located in Figline di Prato, where on 6 September 1944, 29 partisans were killed by German armed Forces. It was one of hundreds of mass murders committed by German troops in the Tuscany Region.

Today's museum and documentation centre are only a stone's throw away from the site of the massacre.

However, the content of the exhibition is marked by another historical event: In March 1944, following a general strike in occupied northern and central Italy, hundreds of Tuscans and over one hundred Prateser were deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp and the majority then further to the Ebensee neighbouring camp.

When choosing the location of the museum, a factory hall in the centre of the city was therefore also in consideration. In the end, however, Figline was chosen as an "authentic site of a Nazi massacre".

The initiative to build a museum in memory of the events of that time came from a few survivors in Prates, including Roberto Castellani. The financing was provided by the municipality of Prato and the museum and the documentation centre were opened on 10 April 2002 in a solemn ceremony attended by the then Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi.

Initially under the administration of the Municipality, since February 2008 it has been a foundation created by the Municipalities of the Province of Prato, the ANED (National Association of Former Political Deportees in Nazi Camps), the Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d'Italia (National Association of Italian Partisans) and the Jewish Community of Florence.

Since 2008, the museum has also been the place of action for the Austrian Memorial Service.

After a thematic introduction to the Nazi camp system, the Mauthausen concentration camp with its neighbouring camp Ebensee and an overview of the deportation from the Tuscany region, the main part of the exhibition, which extends over about 70 square metres, consists of objects from the tunnels of the Ebensee concentration camp. These were collected in the 1970s by Prateser survivors together with fellow citizens and finally donated to the Museum.

The museum also houses the former bell of the Ebensee camp roll call square, on loan from the municipality of Ebensee and an expression of the Prato-Ebensee town partner agreement made in 1987.

The contents of the museum are particularly aimed at pupils from the 8th grade onwards, but also at interested citizens of the region and from abroad. Admission is free of charge.

## The Documentation Center

The Documentation Centre is located on the first floor of the building. It has a conference hall with 70 seats, a library with about 3000 media items and three computer terminals. The research work is carried out not only in cooperation with local institutions and experts, but also within the framework of international projects and in cooperation with the partner institution, the Ebensee Museum of Contemporary History.

# Not a Sinner nor a Saint

"**Not a Sinner nor a Saint**" is a Eurodance song performed by Swedish band Alcazar. This was the first single to give a preview of the then-forthcoming album *Alcazarized*, but was only released in Sweden. Nevertheless, the song was added at radio stations around Europe.

## Melodifestivalen 2003

In spring 2003, Alcazar entered the Swedish pre-selections for the Eurovision Song Contest. They ended up in third place. The single reached number one on the singles chart, the Swedish Airplay List, "Tracks", and was Alcazar's first number one (of two, with "Alcastar") of two in their home country.

The single was released in a cardboard sleeve with an ultra glossy coating. Due to high public demand, some of the pressings did not get the glossy finish.

# Hoddles Creek (tributary)

**Hoddles Creek** is a creek near Melbourne in Victoria, Australia.

## Geography

The Hoddles Creek is a tributary of the Yarra River. It is located on the northwestern slopes of the Yarra Ranges. Its source is at the southern side of Sale Hill. It flows in a northwestern direction through the small towns of Hoddles Creek and Launching Place, until it reaches the Yarra River. This includes farmland and native vegetation.

## Melbourne Water

By the Water Act 1989, it became part of the Upper Yarra Catchment for Melbourne Water, the water system of Melbourne. In other words, some of its water is used for irrigation and drinking water in the city of Melbourne. Moreover, Melbourne Water monitors the flow of the stream at Launching Place, Victoria.

## Fishing

The creek may also be used recreationally to angle Brown trout. In a study conducted in 1997, it was home to six species of fish. Since the advent of a fishway at Dights Falls, it has attracted more native fish species, like the Spotted galaxias and the Australian grayling.

# Not About Love

"**Not About Love**" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Fiona Apple and produced by Mike Elizondo and Brian Kehew for her third studio album *Extraordinary Machine* (2005). It was released as the album's third single in January 2006.

## History

"Not About Love" was the first song from *Extraordinary Machine* that Apple performed in public; she debuted it at a live concert with Jon Brion in February 2002. In 2003 the album, which was originally produced by Brion, was submitted to Sony Music executives, who were reportedly unenthusiastic about the finished product and shelved it. On February 26, 2005 radio DJ Andrew Harms at 107.7 The End in Seattle began playing previously unheard tracks from a bootleg copy of *Extraordinary Machine*, and before long, poor quality copies of "Not About Love", "Get Him Back" and "Used to Love Him" were circulating on the internet. Soon after, CD-quality versions of all the tracks were released through the BitTorrent website TorrentBox.

*Slant* magazine described the leaked version of "Not About Love" as "defiant, a poetic, regret-filled account of the morning after secrets were spilled". The *Akron Beacon Journal* speculated the song was "the big turnoff for the bean counters \[at Sony\] ... \[it\] has a rolling circular piano line and no beat aside from the sawing of the lush, swelling string arrangement", and a review in Okayplayer called it "brilliant. It sounds like a portion of a ballet movement with a very dramatic ending".

An extensively reworked version of *Extraordinary Machine*, co-produced by Mike Elizondo and Brian Kehew, was released in October 2005. A critic for *Seattle Weekly* expressed his preference for the new version of "Not About Love": "Brion's busy cello keeps hounding Apple, getting in your ear while you're trying to figure out what the poor girl's trying to say ... Elizondo, in contrast, merely pairs the piano with light-handed percussion, which creates drama  not melodrama, as per Brion". In comparison, Pitchfork Media wrote "On "Not About Love" and "O' Sailor", Brion scored Apple's compositions no less extravagantly than his soundtracking work for the indie-film elite, applying dollops of lush orchestration ... \[but\] Elizondo hacks away Brion's embellishments upon "Not About Love" and "Window" in his efforts to keep the spotlight fixed solely on \[Apple\]".

## Video

The single's video, directed and edited by Michael Blieden, premiered on Apple's official website in August 2005. It features Apple and comedian Zach Galifianakis in bed together, and later walking the streets and they appear to be a couple whose relationship is on the rocks, while Galifianakis lip syncs the song. Originally filmed for the DualDisc edition of *Extraordinary Machine*, the video made its internet premiere outside of Apple's official site on January 13 at AOL Music, and it debuted on the television channel VH1 on January 23.

It was shot in one day on digital video at Galifianakis' house and the surrounding neighbourhood. Apple was friends with Galifianakis as they both performed regularly at Club Largo, and she asked him to participate in the "Not About Love" video after watching a video of him lip synching an Anita Baker song. She said she chose "Not About Love" as the song for which the video would be filmed as "\[it\] has a lot of tempo changes in it and it's this sort of like schizo song". She also told MTV News that she had hoped the "Not About Love" video would become an official video, and described it as "a weird goal because the whole thing is pretty low-key". The video was popular on the internet and received substantial airplay on vh1 and mtvU, an MTV channel for college and university campuses.

***Rockies 3*** is the third studio album by Australian rock band Rockmelons. It was released in October 2002.

The lead single "All I Want is You" peaked at number 41 in Australia and was nominated for 2003 APRA Most Performed Dance Work.

## Review

A reviewer at Femail called *Rockies 3* "a diverse collection of irresistible grooves, soul-drenched melodies and infectious vocal hooks and performances. However, it's interesting to note that the Rockmelons don't set about to make a series of tunes that belong in specific genre categories, their approach seems to be more organic and a mash-up of all of the sounds that they've loved the most over the years", and adding "Rockmelons have once again managed to produce a well-balanced album that is a hybrid of their ol' school sensibilities and a soulful dancefloor spin that sounds perfect within the current musical climate."

title: True Briton (1775 ship)

abstract: True Briton was launched at Liverpool in 1775. She made two voyages as a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. During the second of these voyages there was an unsuccessful insurrection by the captives she was carrying. Then in 1777–1778 she made another enslaving voyage, this time under the name John. On her return to Liverpool, she became the privateer Bellona, and succeeded in taking several prizes. Bellona then made three enslaving voyages. In 1786 her ownership changed, and so did her name. She became Lord Stanley, and under that name proceeded to make 11 more enslaving voyages. In 1794, at Havana, a deadly fever spread through the vessel, apparently after she had landed her captives. On her last voyage the captain acted with such brutality towards a black crew member that the man, who providentially survived, sued the captain when the vessel arrived at Liverpool and won substantial damages.

She sailed from Jamaica on 30 August and arrived back at Liverpool on 21 October.

Next, *Bellona* captured *Necessity*. The capture took place on 14 March at 42°31′N 30°49′W / 42.517°N 30.817°W / 42.517; -30.817. *Necessity*, of about 400 tons (bm), Peu Ardent, master, was armed with twelve 6 and 4-pounder guns.

**16th voyage transporting enslaved people (1800–1801):** Captain John Kirby acquired a letter of marque on 28 August 1800. He had been mate under Hugh Crow, a famed captain of enslaving ships, including *Kitty's Amelia*, which in 1807 was the last vessel to leave the United Kingdom on a legal slave trading voyage. W.Aspinall owned both *Lord Stanley* and *Will*, Crow, master, and Aspinall instructed the two masters to sail in company, with Crow the senior master.

Captain Kirby sailed from Liverpool on 6 November 1800, together with *Will* and some other vessels. In 1800, 133 vessels sailed from English ports, bound to Africa to acquire and transport enslaved people; 120 of these vessels sailed from Liverpool.

Before leaving Jamaica, Captain Livesley hired a black man, Potter Jackson, as his steward. Jackson was accused of having stolen some money from a passenger, and when he would neither confess nor reveal where he had supposedly hidden the money, Captain Livesley had him flogged, and had salt rubbed into the wounds. The floggings occurred repeatedly between 4 and 14 June, and Daniel Robinson, the second mate, also engaged at Jamaica, reported that Jackson had received over 1000 lashes. When *Lord Stanley* arrived at Liverpool on 5 July, Jackson was put on shore where first a physician and then the city infirmary treated him, with the result that Jackson survived. Jackson sued Livesley. The judge, Lord Ellenborough, stated that "such savage and unprovoked cruelty... had never before disgraced the Annals of a British Court of Justice". Justice Ellenborough awarded Jackson £500, the amount claimed.

# Murder of Nusrat Jahan Rafi

**Murder of Nusrat Jahan Rafi** refers to the murder of a 19–year-old Bangladeshi female student who was murdered after reporting her sexual assault by her Madrasa principal to authorities. She was from Feni, Bangladesh. She suffered burns covering over 80% of her body. She died four days after her assault on 10 April 2019 at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital's burn unit.

## History

The principal of Nusrat Rafi's Madrasa, Siraj Ud Doula had given the order to murder her. She had filled a sexual harassment complaint against him. She had been lured to the Madarasa where there was an attempt to convince her to withdraw the complaint. The assailants poured kerosene on her when she refused to withdraw the complaint.

Rafi's murder was investigated by the Police Bureau of Investigation. She made accusations against her murderers on her deathbed which was recorded by the Sonagazi Police Station Officer in Charge Moazzem Hossain. The video was leaked by that police officer to a journalist who spread the video and it went viral. Moazzem was sentenced to eight years imprisonment for his role in the leak of the video.

## History

The cantata resulted from a commission by the Finnish choral conductor Heikki Klemetti, who had founded the mixed choir Suomen Laulu in 1900 and desired from Sibelius a new work that the ensemble could perform in the spring of 1920 to celebrate its twentieth anniversary. Sibelius, however, was unenthused, writing in his diary in January 1919: "And then there's the promise I made Klemetti for a work for Suomen Laulu. He is by no means one of my 'admirers'. It annoys me that he only wants to use my name as a decoration". By late December 1919, however, Sibelius's delay tactics ceased and he began work on the piece for Klemetti.

Although Sibelius had planned to set **Suomenmaa** by the Finnish poet Aleksis Kivi, he settled on **Maan virsi** by Eino Leino. It is a patriotic text that celebrates Finland, as well as the natural world. For example, in the third stanza, Leino writes:

| Original Finnish | English translation |
| --- | --- |
| Maa! sulle kiitosta kantele soikoon,
suvilaulu Suomen,
tuoksussa juhannuskoivun ja tuomen,
rikkaana riemuita virtemme voikoon,
elonhuolet voittaa,
kauneuden korkean sydänkieltä soittaa. | Earth! Let the kantele sing thee its thanks,
Finland’s summer song,
In the scent of the midsummer birch and hawthorn,
Rich may our streams rejoice,
Overcoming the cares of life,
Sounding the inner voice of high beauty. |

Sibelius completed the cantata in late January 1920; it premiered a few months later on 4 April 1920 (Easter Sunday) in Helsinki, with Klemetti—its dedicatee—conducting Suomen Laulu and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra.
