title: Fields, Factories, and Workshops

abstract: Fields, Factories, and Workshops is an 1899 book by Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin that discusses the decentralization of industries, possibilities of agriculture, and uses of small industries. Before the book, Kropotkin had been known for his militant activity in behalf of international anarchism and writings on Siberian geography. Through the book, he sought to connect anarchism with science, based on sociological tendencies. The book was compiled from essays he had published in Nineteenth Century and Forum between 1888 and 1890. The book was first published in 1899 by Houghton-Mifflin (Boston) and Hutchinson (London) to favorable reviews among Britons. It has since been republished in multiple editions: Swan Sonnenschein (London) and Putnam in 1901, 1904, 1907, 1909, and Nelson (London) and Putnam in 1913 and 1919. Reproductions of the first and second editions appeared in 1968. A later edition, edited by Colin Ward for Harper & Row, released in 1974 with more contemporary illustrations as Fields, Factories and Workshops Tomorrow.

# National Institute of Technology and Evaluation

The **National Institute of Technology and Evaluation** (製品評価技術基盤機構, *Seihin Hyōka Gijutsu Kiban Kikō*), or **NITE** is an Independent Administrative Institution, established by the Japanese government, aiming to contribute to the "safety and security of life" supported by reliable technology and information.

## History

The predecessors of NITE were five Inspection Institutes of the Japanese government, such as the Export Silk Fabrics Inspection Institute established in 1928, Machinery and Tools Inspection Institute in 1948. After several reorganization steps, they were integrated into the International Trade and Industry Inspection Institute in 1984. It was reorganized into the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation in 1995 and established as an incorporated administrative agency in 2001 remaining under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

## Missions

* To establish intellectual foundations for the development of the economy as well as for the safety and security of society.

NITE works toward the mission by technical evaluation of industrial products, and preservation and distribution of products’ information, in the following four fields.

1. Biotechnology field

The Department of Biotechnology (DOB) manages NITE Biological Resource Center (NBRC), which works as a national culture collection in Japan. It is dedicated to the acquisition, characterization, identification, and preservation of microorganisms, such as bacteria, archaea, fungi and microalgae, and distribution of those microbes together with their genetic information to the universities, research institutions and industries. It also manages a patent depositary for biological material under the Budapest Treaty. Based on the principles of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), DOB has been conducting collaborative research with a number of Asian countries in conservation and sustainable use of microbial resources. It also works for biosafety following by the guidelines of Cartagena Protocol.

2. Chemical management field

The Chemical Management Center of NITE undertakes a central role in the comprehensive chemical management. The three main aspects of the center's activities are 1) Support for the enforcement of laws and regulations related to the risk management of chemical substances, 2) Arrangement and provision of comprehensive information, by developing databases, to provide knowledge required for implementing chemical management system, 3) Development and management of risk assessment of chemical substances.

3. Accreditation field

The International Accreditation Japan (IAJapan) is an accreditation body that was established following a comprehensive review of accreditation programs for testing and calibration laboratories operated at NITE. The establishment of IAJapan is based on the perception that it is the duty of the government accreditation body to respond to requests from industries, academies, and the government administrations. Accreditation programs currently operated in IAJapan include MLAP (Specified Measurement Laboratory Accreditation Program), JCSS (Japan Calibration Service System), JNLA (Japan National Laboratory Accreditation System) and ASNITE (Accreditation System of NITE).

4. Consumer products safety field

The Products Safety Technology Center of NITE collects accidents information on consumer products, investigates their causes and makes the results available to the public. It also conducts product tests to identify the safety and quality performances, and on-site inspections to confirm businesses’ compliance with the laws and regulations on product safety. The results are periodically stored in an accident information database, which is made available to the public on the website. The Center also contributes to the development of standards in the area related to the consumer safety, in collaboration with universities and research institutes.

# Gao Di (politician)

**Gao Di** (Chinese: 高狄; pinyin: *Gāo Dí*; November 1927 – 26 October 2019), pen name **Wen Di** (闻迪), was a Chinese politician, best known for his term as the chief editor of *People's Daily* and as Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Jilin province.

## Biography

Gao was born in Linyi, Shandong Province. He graduated during the Republican era at Manchukuo University in Changchun, Jilin. He joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) following the Second Sino-Japanese War in April 1946. After the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, Gao worked in Jilin province. He worked for the Jilin City CCP committee, then at *Songhuajiang Daily*, then Yongji prefecture. He was purged during the Cultural Revolution and sent to perform rural labour. In 1972, he returned to work, taking on a leading role in the provincial Office for Rural Affairs and Forestry and various leading posts in Jilin City, eventually being promoted to party chief and mayor of Jilin City. In March 1983, he was admitted to the Jilin provincial party committee; in May 1985 he was named CCP Committee Secretary of Jilin province.

In April 1988 he was transferred to the central party authorities to take on the office of Executive Vice President of the CCP Central Party School. After the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, the leadership of *People's Daily* was reshuffled in order to ensure "political loyalty" of the newspaper, with Gao Di taking on the post of head of the newspaper. However, he later fell out of favor due to not having sufficiently supported Deng Xiaoping's southern tour speeches, and was removed as chief officer.

In March 1993, he became a standing committee member of the 8th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; he retired and left politics in 1998.

He was a member of the 12th and 13th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.

Gao died on 26 October 2019 in Changchun, aged 91.


title: Emoh

abstract: Emoh is a solo album by Lou Barlow, the first with his real name; the album was released in the USA in 2005 by Domino and by Merge Records and recorded in 2004. Rolling Stone gave the album 3 stars out of 5 and noted: "[F]ull of quiet lyricism and Nick Drake beauty..." Uncut (p. 108) gave 4 stars out of 5 and said: "Using acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, he delivers 14 sweetly somber neo-folk tunes that reveal just how subtly persuasive the man's influence really is." The album was recorded when Barlow was "in a better place" after some years of struggling due to Sebadoh's hiatus, John Davis leaving The Folk Implosion and personal problems. When the album was re-released in 2020, Barlow reflected: "Though Emoh was an overwhelmingly positive step forward for me, listening now, I realize the songs have a lot of pain in them. They clearly track the slow dissolution of my first marriage, the fatal break of several partnerships, and my struggle to acclimate to living in LA. Emoh is primarily an acoustic LP with live performances at its core, and that was a personal achievement for me. I’m still very pleased with it."

# Ouandago

**Ouandago** is a market town located in Nana-Grébizi Prefecture, Central African Republic.

## History

### Central African Republic Bush War

At midnight of 28 June 2006, twenty *zaraguinas* (road bandits) raided Ouandago and looted the market. Two months later, on 19 and 20 August, zaraguinas attacked Ouandago again and kidnapped nine people. The abductees were forced to reveal the location where they kept the animals. Afterward, they killed all the hostages and stole cows.

These two incidents led the town residents to ask APRD rebels to tackle the insecurity problem as they distrusted the government, which was unable to provide security. APRD sent hundreds of its fighters to Ouandago and they were able to drive away the bandit and recover nine villagers' bodies. Since then, Ouandago was heavily under the control of APRD.

On 5 October 2006, FACA attacked Ouandago to capture the town from APRD. The battle lasted for two hours and APRD withdrew from Ouandago. Subsequently, FACA called for reinforcement and soon after, the Presidential Guard arrived in Ouandago. The presidential guard forces arrested five civilians and two days later, they executed the detainees at the health center. In addition, FACA and Presidential Guard pillaged and torched houses, warehouses, shops, and a local gendarmerie post. They established a base in Ouandago and stayed there until 17 October.

### Central African Republic Civil War (2012-present)

On 19 June 2016, a clash between two ex-Seleka groups occurred in Ouandago over a dispute over sharing stolen oxen. In February 2022, MINUSCA conducted a security operation in Ouandago to end auto-defense group harassment. They arrested 11 militias.

## Economy

There is one market in the town.

## Education

The town has one school.

## Healthcare

Ouandago has one health center. From July to September 2013, Seleka occupied the health center and used it as a base.

# Ouanga (film)

***Ouanga***, also advertised as ***The Love Wanga***, is a voodoo-themed 1936 American film starring Fredi Washington. George Terwilliger wrote and directed the film. The film's themes include miscegenation and it features various racial stereotypes and portrays the people who practice voodoo as primitive. The movie is considered to be perhaps the second zombie film ever made after *White Zombie*.

## Plot

Klili Gordon is a half-white and half-black plantation owner who is attracted to Adam Maynard, a nearby plantation owner who is white. Adam is a close friend of Klili, but he fears of their relationship going further due to Gordon's mixed-race heritage per the one-drop rule. Adam chooses Eve, a white woman, over Gordon which causes her to become enraged and turn to voodoo. After a death charm known as a *wanga* fails to kill Eve, Klili raises 13 black men from the dead to put Eve into a trance so that Klili can murder her. LeStrange, the overseer of Adam's plantation, is adept at voodoo and places a curse on Klili by hanging the dead body of a black woman that is dressed as Klili. After Klili fails to get with Adam and LeStrange fails to murder Klili with voodoo, LeStrange murders Klili by choking her.

## Cast

## Production

*Ouanga* is the second film to feature zombies, after the 1932 film *White Zombie*. Black actress Fredi Washington was cast to play the "tragic mulatto" role of Klili Gordon while white actor Sheldon Leonard was cast as LeStrange, the black man who looks over Adam's plantation. LeStrange may have been cast as a black character due to an incident involving the 1933 film *The Emperor Jones*, in which censors thought that Washington kissing a black man looked too close to "a white woman kissing a black man". In *The Emperor Jones*, Washington wore darker makeup to look "more black".

It was planned for the production crew to hire dancers and drummers from Haiti, but the plan did not happen due to the *papaloi*, male voodoo priests, objecting and the director was threatened with a *wanga* placed in his car. The person in charge of props stole sacred objects including stuffed snakeskins and skulls for the film's production from Haiti. The filming was moved to Jamaica where it was reported by Roger Luckhurst that two crew members died from a cyclone. Author Toni Pressley-Sanon wrote that two crew members died with one being killed by a barracuda and one dying from yellow fever.

The film was not released in the United States until 1942. *Ouanga* was remade into the 1939 film *The Devil's Daughter* to appeal to a black audience despite it being created by whites. The UCLA Film & Television Archive restored the film in 2015. On June 10, 2021, UCLA held a virtual screening of the restored film.

## Reception

Lionel Collier of *Picturegoer* wrote that it was a "drama clumsily built around 'Voodooism'" and that it was "extremely crudely produced and badly acted", though he praised the authentic settings.

# Other Voices (Canadian TV series)

***Other Voices*** is a Canadian current affairs television series which aired on CBC Television from 1964 to 1965.

## Premise

Don Francks hosted this series which sought to feature groups who did not usually receive significant television coverage such as First Nations people living on reserve, youth in the British Mods and Rockers subcultures, and homosexuals ("Every Tenth Man"). The series also contained dramatic, musical or satirical sketches. The series also featured people such as author Wyndham Lewis, composer Charles Mingus, academic Marshall McLuhan, filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, painter Frederick Varley and musician Joe Hill. *Other Voices* filled the current affairs void left by the cancellation of the previous season's *Horizon*.

## Scheduling

This half-hour series was broadcast on Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. (Eastern) in two runs, from 6 October to 29 December 1964, then 6 April to 29 June 1965.

## Reception

The series attempted controversy, but an episode on cultural mediocrity drew criticism from one of its interview subjects, Gladys Taylor, who assumed the discussion was about the arts. Instead, when the programme aired, she unexpectedly found herself ridiculed as a "mediocrat".

# Tadashi Maeyama

**Tadashi Maeyama** (前山忠, *Maeyama Tadashi*, born 1944) is a Japanese artist. In 1967, he co-founded the art collective GUN with fellow artist Michio Horikawa. Together with Horikawa, Maeyama were GUN's leading members. Maeyama currently lives and works in Niigata, Japan.

## Early life and education

Maeyama was born in the village of Sanwa, Nakakubiki District, in the city of Takada (now Jōetsu), in the Niigata Prefecture, which is on the coast of the Sea of Japan. Far from Tokyo, Niigata was prototypical of rural Japan. Maeyama was the eldest son of a farming family, and he was expected to inherit the family property. Nonetheless, he had to seek employment because his family did not own large enough land to generate a sustainable income.

While in high school, he met fellow artist Michio Horikawa, and they later attended a teachers' college together at Niigata University. Maeyama sought to become an art teacher to make a living while also being able to make art. During his second year as a college student, Maeyama began frequenting to Tokyo to better understand contemporary art in the capital. Additionally, he continued to learn about contemporary art through mostly black-and-white reproductions in art magazines such as *Bijutsu techō*.

In 1966, during his final year at Niigata University, Maeyama had his first solo exhibition at Lunami Gallery in Tokyo. As a rental art gallery, Lunami did not require qualifications to show, except for paying weekly rental fees. As a result, such spaces were suitable for exhibiting experimental art.

In 1967, Maeyama received his BFA from Niigata University.

## Formation of GUN art collective

In Tokyo, Maeyama became acquainted with the young art critic Junzō Ishiko from Shizuoka Prefecture. In October of 1967, thanks to Ishiko’s encouragement, Maeyama formed the art collective GUN. Initially they called their group Niigata Contemporary Art Collective GUN (Niigata Gendai Bijutsu Shūdan GUN). The word GUN came from the onomatopoeia gān, expressing the group’s desire to make a big impact. Later, the photographer and GUN collaborator, Mitsutoshi Hanaga interpreted GUN as an acronym for Group Ultra Niigata, which the group was happy to adopt.

GUN group members frequently met at the lobby café in the same building that housed on the first floor the Nagaoka Contemporary Art Museum, Japan’s first museum dedicated to contemporary art. In December of 1967, GUN held their first exhibition by renting the Nagaoka Culture Hall, which sat one floor above the Nagaoka Contemporary Art Museum. The exhibition included fourteen artists, brought together critics and art professionals, and featured a symposium along with happenings.

Throughout its time as a group, GUN’s membership was fluid. Under the name GUN, Maeyama would create art both as an individual artist and as part of the art collective.

## Work and career

During GUN’s initial few years, Maeyama was known for making artwork featuring mirrors and female iconography in a pop art manner, such as in *Breaching an Idea* (1967).

By 1970, Maeyama’s art became more politically engaged. In 1960 and 1970, the nationwide Anpo protests were organized in opposition to the US-Japan Security Treaty, a treaty that allowed the United States to maintain military bases on Japanese soil. The protests were particularly intense against the backdrop of the Cold War and the Vietnam War, during which US military bases in Japan were strategic for its Pacific forces.

### Postal Mailing Front

From 1969 to 1970, Maeyama became politically motivated by the events surrounding the Konishi Anti-Military Struggle, which centered on Makoto Konishi, an airman part of the Japan Self-Defense Forces stationed on the island of Sado in Niigata Prefecture. For distributing anti-military fliers and refusing to participate in training, Konishi was arrested and tried for the crime of sabotage. Konishi’s trial took place from 1970 to 1975. Maeyama joined the demonstrations in support of Konishi from 1970 to 1971. The experience laid the groundwork for GUN’s Postal Mailing Front, which sought to forge a nationwide antiwar alliance among teachers and activists. As part of their efforts, the Postal Mailing Front included issuing newsletters in the form of political tabloids and a mail art project from 1969 to 1970 that consisted of anti-authority interventions within the postal system. In turn, the Postal Mailing Front served as a platform for the group to disseminate their conceptualist works of art.

As part of the Postal Mailing Front, Maeyama, Michio Horikawa, and Hideharu Satō developed strategies for pushing the limits of postal regulations using prepaid postcards. Their methods included physically altering the postcards, affixing no or insufficient postage, inscribing a bogus sender and/or recipient, and creating other forms of confusion. For one of his contributions, Maeyama created *Double-Sided Nengajō and Notice from Nagano Postal Inspection Office* (1970). In his New Year’s postcard, Maeyama copied the addressed side of an already mailed postcard from 1969 onto the text side of new 1970 postcard, which was filled out with the same name and address on its address side. In doing so, Maeyama exemplified the idea of confusion. For that reason, while one the postcards reached its recipient Masunobu Yoshimura (a former member of the art collective Neo Dada), the post office seized the postcard that had been addressed to Horikawa and returned it to Maeyama with an official notice warning him not to do it again. Maeyama subsequently incorporated the returned postcard and official notice into his March 1970 contribution to the publication *Psychophysiology Research Institute.* According to art historian Reiko Tomii, Maeyama's intervention challenged the postal system as a state-run institution, especially within the conformity of Japanese society.

### *Antiwar Stickers* and *Antiwar Flag*

Following GUN’s newfound political voice as the result of the Konishi Anti-Military Struggle, the group began circulating newsletters incorporating political sloganeering and conceptualist art strategies. The inaugural issue in March of 1971 proclaimed “Stand Up, All Fighting Workers, Students, and Citizens, for the Anti-Imperialism Struggle!” As part of the newsletter, Maeyama designed three stickers with the words 反保 (Anti-Anpo), 反戦 (Anti-War), and 叛軍 (Anti-Military). The first sticker was accompanied by the slogan, “Overthrow the US and Japanese emperors!” Those interested could obtain the stickers through a small donation of 100 yen and show their solidarity by placing the stickers anywhere and everywhere.

In a similar vein, Maeyama also created “Antiwar Flags“ that year featuring three banners displaying 反軍 (Anti-Military), 反帝 (Anti-Imperialism), and 反戦 (Anti-War). The year prior in 1970, Maeyama had created the political art piece *Antiwar Flag,* depicting the US flag shedding blood onto the Japanese flag beneath it. Accompanying Maeyama’s graphic representation were the words “For Vietnam.” In turn, the artwork showed how US bloodshed in the Vietnam War was accepted by Japan, whose complicity in the war at the time was fervently opposed by Japanese activists. Maeyama’s *Antiwar Stickers* and *Antiwar Flag* were key examples of the artist’s propagandistic approach in comparison to that of his fellow GUN members.

In May of 1971, Maeyama was invited by the critic Ichirō Haryū to show his “Antiwar“ ensemble of stickers and flags at Mainichi Contemporary at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Maeyama withdrew his work within a week of opening, however, in response to the event organizer’s removal of his donation box for those interested in obtaining the *Antiwar Stickers*.

### After 1972

After 1972, GUN returned to conventional exhibitions and outdoor performances. However, as a follow-up to their earlier political art, in 1977, one year after the 50th anniversary of Hirohito's reign (r.1926–1989), GUN created work to mark the occasion. Maeyama’s artist’s book *Anti-Emperor System* traced Japanese history, including Japan’s aggression into Asia under the emperor’s name.

title: Out of Context (exhibition)

abstract: Out of Context is a self-organized art exhibition in Hong Kong that took place from 9 to 10 October 1987 at a now-demolished Eu family mansion on 15 Kennedy Road. Co-curated by Christine Loh, Hugh Chiverton and Lianne Hackett, and presented in association with the Hong Kong Arts Centre, the exhibition displayed works by twenty-one artists, artist groups and practitioners, ranging from painting, sculpture, photography to installation, performance and video art. Out of Context provides a glimpse of the contemporary arts scene in Hong Kong during the '80s, filling in a period in Hong Kong art history that is often not widely documented and circulated. In addition, taking place three years after the signing of the Sino–British Joint Declaration, a historical moment for Hong Kong, some of the works expressed concerns towards the 1997 Handover from a cultural perspective.

# Out of Context (exhibition)

**Out of Context** (1987, Hong Kong) is a self-organized art exhibition in Hong Kong that took place from 9 to 10 October 1987 at a now-demolished Eu family mansion on 15 Kennedy Road. Co-curated by Christine Loh, Hugh Chiverton and Lianne Hackett, and presented in association with the Hong Kong Arts Centre, the exhibition displayed works by twenty-one artists, artist groups and practitioners, ranging from painting, sculpture, photography to installation, performance and video art. *Out of Context* provides a glimpse of the contemporary arts scene in Hong Kong during the '80s, filling in a period in Hong Kong art history that is often not widely documented and circulated. In addition, taking place three years after the signing of the Sino–British Joint Declaration, a historical moment for Hong Kong, some of the works expressed concerns towards the 1997 Handover from a cultural perspective.

## Background

The exhibition was conceived primarily in response to the artists’ belief that there was a “serious lack of \[institutional\] support” for the local contemporary arts scene at the time, and the organizers also felt that established art institutions had too much dominance over the art scene.

Collaborative in nature, a series of meetings were held in preparation for the exhibition, which were attended by participating artists, art administrators and writers. Taking place outside of the traditional gallery/museum space, they had more creative and artistic freedom by working “out of context”. In terms of location, format and artistic practices, this exhibition was unconventional, bringing forth and making visible what was often marginalized.

The arts feature of the *Hong Kong Standard* on 12 October 1987 said this of the exhibition: “... it did not set out to display what Hongkong has achieved in fine art, rather what it may soon lose: freedom of expression through legislation, emigration, and a failing commitment to deal with real experience, and instead follow officially approved conventions.”

## Artists

Gao Minglu, editor of *Inside Out: New Chinese Art*, described the participants as "young, avant garde artists".

Participating artists of the exhibition included Adevor; Antonio MAK, 麥顯揚; CHOI Ronald Yeekie; CHOI Yanchi, 蔡仞姿; Epoxy; FUNG Manyee, 馮敏兒; HO Hingkay Oscar, 何慶基; Holly LEE, 黃楚喬; Josh HON, 韓偉康; Larry DEMING; LAU Gukzik, 劉掬色; LEE Kasing Wingo, 李家昇; Ming FAY, 費明杰; Robert FUNG, 馮萬剛; Robert O'BRIEN, 白禮仁; Jim SHUM, 沈聖德; Sunny PANG, 彭錦耀; Susi KRAMER; Tommy Wong, 王志強; WONG Yankwai Yank, 黃仁逵; and YEUNG Sauchurk Ricky, 楊秀卓.

The group Epoxy Art Group placed images of missiles on a wall with names and photocopies of some people.

The exhibition catalogue offers descriptions and profiles of each individual artist.

The company operates in more than 75 metropolitan areas within the United States, and is most well-known for TV ads featuring a distinctive jingle that recites the company's phone number and name. The company's name comes from the slogan on some of its commercials, "Empire today, carpeting tomorrow". Empire Today claims that it is the largest in-home sales flooring company in the United States.

## History

Empire Today LLC (commonly referred as Empire Today) was founded by entrepreneur Seymour Cohen in 1959. It was initially known as Empire Plastic Covers, a private, family-owned business in Chicago from a small office space. Cohen decided to expand the company's product line in response to growing customer request. In 1965, Empire Plastic Covers changed its name to Empire Home Services, adding carpet to their product line. Over the years, Empire's product line grew, as did the company's national presence. In December 2002, the company was sold, and then in January 2003, adopted its current name: Empire Today. It was acquired by the investment company Mercury Capital LP. In 2016, the company was sold to H.I.G. Capital, a private equity firm, for an undisclosed amount. In February 2022, Empire Today acquired Sitton Contract Flooring, a flooring contractor based in California.

### Carpet recycling

In 2023, Empire Today implemented a carpet and padding recycling program to minimize the environmental impact of their day-to-day operations. All of the padding removed by Empire Today's installers that can be recycled, will be recycled as part of their program in cooperation with Carpet America Effort (CARE) and Carpet Landfill Elimination and Recycling (CLEAR). In first quarter 2023, Empire piloted the program in select areas, and the program is currently operational in more than 25 of Empire's service areas. Since the program's inception, over eight million pounds of carpet and padding have been recycled, according to Empire's waste tonnage reporting.

## Advertisements

Empire Today's advertising is prevalent throughout major metro areas across North America. The company's television and web ads feature the "Empire Man" character. He was originally portrayed as live-action but is now portrayed as a cartoon character at the end of their advertisements.

The "Empire Man" was introduced in 1977 as a live action character and later adapted into a popular animated person that has grown to become a cultural icon, especially in the Chicago area. The "Empire Man" has been seen internationally in commercials and other media, has spawned a line of collectible bobblehead dolls and inspired the Chicago Cubs to declare an official "Empire Day" at Wrigley Field in 2007.

The live action "Empire Man" was portrayed on television by Lynn Hauldren, a former ad executive, from 1977 through 2011. After Empire Today retired the live character in favor of an animated version, Hauldren continued to provide voiceovers for the ads until his death in 2011, though ads with his voiceovers continue to air on television. Since 2017 the "Empire Man" has been portrayed by Ryan Salzwedel in various television spots.

### Advertising jingle

Empire Today's advertising jingle, which has been broadcast since 1977, is a widely recognized theme. The jingle is simply a small vocal group singing out the digits of the telephone number and the company name. Lynn Hauldren, a barbershop quartet performer, wrote and sung the tune to accompany the singing of the company's phone number, and recorded the jingle with an a cappella group, the Fabulous 40s. The famous Empire Today advertising jingle has made the Empire Today phone number one of the most recognized numbers in the country.

The jingle was eventually changed to add the 312 area code and finally in 1995 to include the "(800)" part, and was later changed during 2003, to incorporate the word "Today".

## History

The founder of FEA, Damir Dorin, got the idea of starting a professional fighting association back in the early 2000s, after visiting Japan and establishing a close relationship with the founder of K-1 fighting promotion Kazuyoshi Ishii. Eventually, in 2009 Dorin founded FEA and hosted the very first professional K-1 rules tournament in Chișinău, Moldova, which also included a Grand Prix tournament. The event was attended by K-1 stars like Ruslan Karaev and Artur Kishenko, chief referee of the tournament Ivan Ippolit and the president of the intercontinental federation BUSHIDO MMA and FEG representative in Europe, Donatas Simanaitis. This led to a partnership with the Lithuanian promotion IBF so in October of next year, FEA dabbled into MMA and organized a joint event, FEA Bushido FC, Moldova vs Europe, which consisted of both K-1 fights and MMA fights.

In December 2010, FEA together with IBF, started the King of Kings project, hosting 56 K-1 rules events in co-promotion over the following years and in numerous European cities. But the events which took place in Chișinău, Moldova, were fully under FEA responsibility.

In 2011 FEA registered the trademark “Fighting Eagles” and organized another K-1 & MMA RULES tournament, including five fights in each section.

In 2016, February 27, FEA started a separate project, and trademarked the name EAGLES FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP, for a professional Mixed Martial Arts tournament, traditionally held in an octagonal cage. From that point on FEA organized approximatively three Eagles FC events every year.

The last co-promoted King of Kings event with FEA took place on 24 March 2018 and from then on FEA organized their own events under the name FEA Kickboxing.

FEA Kickboxing made its debut on the Ukrainian market on 24 August 2019 and hosted its event in Odesa. In December of the same year, FEA Kickboxing organized an event which included two Grand Prix tournaments, in the heavyweight and featherweight categories.

Due to the pandemic, all of the scheduled events for 2020 fell off.

In 2021, FEA resumed with a new concept and combined their two projects, FEA Kickboxing and Eagles Fighting Championship. Thus on March 13 of 2021, FEA technically hosted two events in one night: FEA Kickboxing Reset and Eagles FC Reset. Both took place in the cage and without an audience, due to restrictions.

On 13 November 2021 FEA repeated the same concept and hosted FEA Kickboxing, FEA Keep Grinding tournament, as well as Eagles FC Danger Zone on the same day.

In 2022 FEA decided to undergo a rebranding and renamed both their K-1 rules project and the MMA project to "FEA Championship". The decision surrounding the change of EAGLES FC is partly rooted in the fact that Khabib Nurmagomedov started his own fighting project in 2020 and named it similarly (Eagle FC) which created confusion among fans and experts. Further, this also helped to unite FEA's two projects under a single name.

Events were previously broadcast by Fightbox, Eurosport, Canal2, Canal3, Prime, 1+1 VIDEO, SPORT+, XSPORT and other cable operators. Currently, FEA has its own live streaming platform, feafights.tv.

Former and current commentators include Sandy Holt, Valentin Halacenco, Daniel Austin, Łukasz Czarnowski, Celian Varini, Daniel Kendrik, Gheorghiu Ivan, Nikita Vlasov, Pavel Zhuravlev, Vitalii Hurkov.

The ring announcers of FEA K1 are Rytis Kuzmenka, Michael Richie Diamz and Vladimir Marcoci.

The cage announcers for FEA MMA are Anatol Cotrobai, Michael Richie Diamz and Vladimir Marcoci.
