title: Eurycomanone

abstract: Eurycomanone is a chemical compound that has been isolated from Eurycoma longifolia, also known as the longjack plant or tongkat ali. Eurycomanone is distributed throughout the plant, with the highest concentration in leaves. Researchers measured 6.0568 μg/mL in leaves, and only 0.3533 μg/mL in roots.

# Eurycomanone

**Eurycomanone** is a chemical compound that has been isolated from *Eurycoma longifolia*, also known as the longjack plant or tongkat ali. Eurycomanone is distributed throughout the plant, with the highest concentration in leaves. Researchers measured 6.0568 μg/mL in leaves, and only 0.3533 μg/mL in roots.

## Mechanism of action

Eurycomanone is thought to be central to the sex-hormone increasing effects of *Eurycoma longifolia* supplementation. In vitro, eurycomanone has been shown to enhance testosterone steroidogenesis through its inhibitory effects on aromatase, presumably causing testosterone production to increase to restore downstream estrogen homeostasis.

As of November 2022, there are no studies investigating the effects of isolated Eurycomanone in human subjects. However, studies investigating the effects supplementation with *Eurycoma longifolia* in human subjects have observed increases in free and total testosterone, with some studies showing increases or no changes in estradiol, luteinizing hormone, sex binding hormone globulin and follicle-stimulating hormone in both healthy and hypogonadism-affected men.

title: Eurycnema versirubra

abstract: Eurycnema versirubra, the red-winged green giant stick insect/Timor Giant Stick Insect, is a species of stick insect from Timor, Solor and Wetar, The original habitat of Eurycnema versirubra might be Timor and / or closeby islands. They were most likely brought from there to Java and Malaysia, where they are known from captive bred cultures only. In Timor, the Timorese greatly fear the species because they consider it to be highly poisonous. As a result, the insects are often killed by the Timorese. Contrary to common belief, the Timor Giant Stick Insect is not dangerous.

# Eurycnema versirubra

***Eurycnema versirubra***, the **red-winged green giant stick insect/Timor Giant Stick Insect**, is a species of stick insect from Timor, Solor and Wetar, The original habitat of ***Eurycnema versirubra*** might be Timor and / or closeby islands. They were most likely brought from there to Java and Malaysia, where they are known from captive bred cultures only (no known wild-caught specimens). In Timor, the Timorese greatly fear the species because they consider it to be highly poisonous. As a result, the insects are often killed by the Timorese. Contrary to common belief, the Timor Giant Stick Insect is not dangerous.

## Description

Females are large, winged, and green in color. They measure up to 270 mm (11 in) in body length. Males range between 130 mm (5.1 in) to 160 mm (6.3 in). Both sexes from Timor have a striking red coloration on the inside costal region of the hindwings and forewings. The largest wild female specimen ever found was from Nekamese, West Timor with a length of 280 mm (11 in) found by Davis Damaledo.

## Diet

In the wild this species has been recorded eating Psidium guajava, Acacia, Vachellia leucophloea, & Ziziphus mauritiana. Adult females have also been recorded eating Tamarindus indica but the specimens found on Tamarind trees are smaller in size, apparently this is not a good food plant for them. Timorese people also say that this species also eats Eucalyptus alba, although not a single specimen has been found on this tree, but it seems this information is correct because specimens in captivity in West Timor apparently also accept Eucalyptus alba & Eucalyptus urophylla as a food plant.

# MV Lion

**MV *Lion*** was a passenger ferry operated by P&O Ferries across the Irish Sea between 1968 and 1976, and across the English Channel until 1986.

## History

Three new car ferries were delivered to Coast Lines in 1966/67 to update the Irish Sea services. The third of these, *Lion* took over the Ardrossan \- Belfast day service of Burns & Laird. She entered service on 3 January 1968. Two weeks later, she was damaged in a storm and was out of service for two weeks.

In 1971, Coast Lines were taken over by P&O. The service transferred to Larne in 1975 and ended in 1976 when *Lion* transferred to Southern Ferries Ltd and left for Le Havre.

*Lion* was sold to European Ferries (Townsend Thoresen) in 1985, and then to Thenamaris Shipping for service in the Mediterranean. In 1987 and 1988, she was renamed *Portelet* for charters to British Channel Island Ferries; between charters, she was laid up in Weymouth.

On 24 February 1990, between Larneca and Greece, she came under fire from a gun-boat and was withdrawn for repairs. In 1997, she was sold to Equester Shipping, Kingstown, Saint Vincent & Grenadine, and left for service in Indonesia.

In March 2004, she was sold for scrapping, arriving at Chittagong Roads, Bangladesh for breaking.

## Layout

She was rebuilt in 1976 (with a bow visor) and in 1985.

# The Age of the Pussyfoot

***The Age of the Pussyfoot*** is a science fiction novel by American writer Frederik Pohl, first published as a serial in *Galaxy Science Fiction* in three parts, starting in October 1965. It was later published as a standalone novel in 1969.

## Inspiration

The novel was inspired by Pohl's own experiences in a local volunteer fire department and by the early computer time sharing systems, along with advances in medicine, such as transplants, extrapolated to the point where anyone with enough money can command huge resources and essentially live forever. There are some unusual social consequences of these advances, however.

## Plot summary

Charles Dalgleish Forrester is revived from cryopreservation in the year 2527, having been killed in a fire 500 years earlier. Thanks to his insurance, after the expenses of his revival are paid he has a quarter of a million dollars, a fortune in his eyes. He can afford the luxuries of 26th century life, such as a Joymaker, a scepter-like portable computer terminal with some extra features like a drug dispenser.

After a heavy night partying, with some distant memory of an argument with somebody, he wakes in his new apartment, and over a 20th-century breakfast, checks in with his Joymaker. The Joymaker communicates by voice, and addresses him always as "Man Forrester". He is informed that he has a message from a woman whose name he doesn't recognize, and that someone called Heinzlichen Jura de Syrtis Major has taken out a hunting license on him. Baffled, he eventually encounters the woman from the party who he believes is called Tip. She maintains she is Adne Bensen, the woman whose messages he has been ignoring. Apparently she got on so well with Forrester that she is ready to begin a relationship. She takes him back to her apartment, where he finds she has two children, around 8 years old, who seem somewhat precocious for their years. With names like "Tunt" and "Mim" flying around, he mistakenly assumes those are the children's names, baffling them when he uses them that way.

Later Forrester encounters Heinzlichen with a few friends, who without much ado beat him up so badly he goes to the hospital. It transpires that Heinzlichen's hunting license allows him to kill Forrester providing he pays for the revival, and the whole vendetta is over some insult at the party, which Forrester can barely remember. It's possible Forrester trod on Heinzlichen's foot. Since Heinzlichen is from the human colonies on Mars and is adapted to low gravity, this is a major *faux pas*.

Mistake follows on mistake, compounding confusion. Forrester comes to believe that Adne is attempting to entrap him in fatherhood, presumably for his money, when she leaves a message saying that "we have to choose a name". He is equally disdainful of a friend who keeps asking him to join his Club, expecting that also to be just a ruse to get at his money.

Eventually Adne sets him straight. Firstly, he'll be broke soon because, unbeknownst to him, all the 20th century foods he likes are very expensive, as are all the other Joymaker functions he enjoys. He needs to get a high-paying job. Secondly, the "name" she was asking about was a "reciprocal name," one used only between two close friends or intimates. Each uses it only to address the other, as "Tunt" was the children's name for each other, and "Mim" was the name used between Adne and the children. Tip was the name she and another close friend used, so Forrester could not use it. The friend wanting Forrester to join his Club was in fact offering him a paying position in the organization, though Forrester is not sure he likes what the Club stands for.

However, Forrester's woes are not over. He first takes a high-paying job for what turns out to be an alien life form. The alien is known to all as a Sirian, but only because that's the star system in which he was captured (Sirius). Earth is in a state of preparation for a Sirian attack it is expecting. When the alien ship was first encountered, the Earth ship shot first and asked questions later. The only thing stopping an attack, it is believed, is that the Sirian's home world population has no idea where Earth is. The captured Sirians live on Earth in a state of virtual house arrest, with their movements restricted and monitored. Forrester's job is to be the Sirian's guide to Earth culture and history, and he is paid handsomely for it. Unfortunately Adne and the others shun him for working for the alien.

The Sirian asks many questions about seemingly arbitrary topics of human history. When Forrester fails to respond to one of the Sirian's requests in time, he is promptly fired by the Sirian.

He then takes a high-paying job which is an apparent sinecure, watching over some machinery, until he learns that all the previous holders of the post are in cryopreservation after being blasted with radiation. Against the warnings of the Joymaker, he quits in the middle of a shift. In this time, this is a huge error, and all his funds are taken in fines. He is reduced to nothing, and forced to live with all the other bums on Skid Row.

The existence is actually quite comfortable. Nobody can afford a Joymaker, but rich people pass through doling out money to 26th century panhandlers, and there are cash-only eating places with coin-operated Joymakers at the tables. However, there are also people looking for thrills on the cheap, wanting to kill someone without having to pay for the revival. After a near miss, he runs into the Sirian again, who drugs and hypnotizes him. Under the delusion that he is helping Adne take a trip, Forrester places the Sirian in control of a spacecraft.

The ship heads into space and escapes, but not before the whole world learns that the alien has escaped, though not Forrester's role in the affair. The entire human population goes into a panic. Most commit suicide in order to hide in the cryopreservation banks. Heinzlichen comes after Forrester one more time, and Forrester kills him. This was simply Heinzlichen's way of getting into the freezer. Eventually Forrester is almost alone.

At this point the Club he had been asked to join goes into action. They are a 26th-century version of Luddites and are bent on dismantling the world's technological base by subverting central computing systems, believing this will improve human welfare. Ominously, they are "helped" by the Sirians in doing so. In the end, medical technicians and the Luddites are the only people left awake. Forrester learns about the conspiracy of the Luddites. Forrester cannot reach the technicians because all the computer terminals have been programmed against him. His only hope is to kill himself. He walks up to one of the automated medics, and cuts his throat.

Fortunately the medic, reacting to its programming to save lives over that set up by the Luddites, gets him to a medical facility in time, and he is able to abort the revolution. Eventually people start being revived, and he is reunited with Adne.

## Characters

* Charles Dalgliesh Forrester is a man born in the 20th century, revived 500 years later. He initially believes he is rich because he has a quarter of a million dollars in his investment, a considerable amount at the time of writing. He eventually discovers that although that amount would have supported him comfortably in a 20th-century lifestyle, his use of the joymaker and all that it can bring him means that he is rapidly running out of money.
* Adne Bensen is a liberated 26th century woman. She styles herself as "natural flow", meaning that she does not use artificial hormones and is only receptive to men at certain times. She is quite open about this, much to Forrester's chagrin. Her profession is that of "Reacter". This means that she is employed as a consultant of sorts, giving her response to consumer products, and is rated by the number of potential customers she represents, and the chance that a favorable reaction from her will mean that the product is going to sell that many copies. She has two children, who are equally frank about her emotional and physical needs.
* Heinzlichen Jura de Syrtis Major is a Martian colonist visiting Earth. He speaks English with a strong accent that Forrester identifies as German, though Heinzlichen insists that all Martians speak that way because the thinner atmosphere on Mars eliminates some of the higher audio frequencies. He also has no idea what "German" signifies. He takes out a "hunting license" on Forrester because of a perceived insult when Forrester accidentally stepped on his feet during a party. The license is very expensive, requiring Heinzlichen to post bonds and undertake not to damage Forrester's brain, as well as paying all medical costs. In the later sections of the novel, Forrester encounters another Martian, Kevin O'Rourke na Solis Lacis, who also sounds "German" to Forrester despite his Irish name, and who also has no idea what is meant by "German", or "Irish".

## Joymaker

The story's joymaker bears a remarkable resemblance to devices in common use in the years following the start of the 21st century.

> The remote-access computer transponder called the "joymaker" is your most valuable single possession in your new life. If you can imagine a combination of telephone, credit card, alarm clock, pocket bar, reference library, and full-time secretary, you will have sketched some of the functions provided by your joymaker. - from the novel

It was conceived by Pohl in the 1960s after he saw one of the earliest time sharing computer systems. These allowed multiple users spread over a wide area, connected by good quality telephone or data lines, to simultaneously use one or more large (for the time) computers for a variety of purposes.

In its basic form, the Joymaker is a remote time-sharing terminal which uses radio communications instead of wire lines, and interacts with its user via voice rather than a keyboard and text output. It is small and light enough to be worn or carried, resembling in some cases a small sceptre. It can also dispense various medications, stimulants etc. from reservoirs within it.

The story concerns a 20th-century man placed in what came to be called cryopreservation, revived in the 25th century, and coming to terms with life in an era of massive computer power, accessed via the Joymaker. Unlike early 21st century portable devices, the Joymaker had little or no innate computing power.

The Joymaker had the following uses :

* Access to basic computing power, for money management etc.
* Access to libraries at any time, in any place.
* Educating children, each of whom has a special Joymaker.
* Health - the Joymaker can sense heartbeat, respiration etc. and the central computer can order it to dispense medication, or it can send help.
* Message Store and forward, later known as voice mail. This becomes the bedrock of social interaction in the story.
* Ordering food and drink, whether at home or in public. All payment is done using the central computer.
* Ordering other goods for delivery. Since payment is automatic, the expense of items is not always apparent to the buyers. The protagonist rapidly depletes his "fortune".
* Public Address system - any group of people can hear a public announcement on their Joymakers, removing the need for loudspeakers in public places.
* Locating people. The central computer can track the position of any Joymaker, and by extension, its owner. This information can be made available at the owner's discretion.
* Jobs not requiring physical presence. One character is a "Reacter," someone who samples new products and reports her reactions using the Joymaker. The central computer analyzes her reactions in the light of her known psychological makeup and is able to statistically predict how well the product will sell.

### Relation to actual devices

Pohl himself, in an afterword to the novel, made the following statement about the world he foresaw:

"I do not really think it will be that long. Not five centuries. Perhaps not even five decades."

Forty years after the publication of the novel, most people of 2005 would recognize the functions of the Joymaker in the cellphone, laptop computer, and personal digital assistant. By 2015 the ubiquitous smartphones provided most of the functions in a single package.

Only the medical capabilities are missing from devices carried by people in industrialized nations in the early 21st century. These devices, however usually have far more computing power than the Joymaker as conceived, and more even than the 1960s mainframe computers that provided the inspiration. Some of the actual social effects of portable communication and computing parallel those predicted in the novel.

# Madame Piano

**Ljiljana Rančić** (Serbian Cyrillic: Љиљана Ранчић), known professionally as **Madame Piano**, is a Serbian retired jazz/world music singer and songwriter. She was a prominent act on the Serbian music scene in the 1990s and early 2000s, releasing three studio albums before retiring from the scene.

## Musical career

Ljiljana Rančić got her classical music education by learning to play violin. In the early 1990s, she started performing as a jazz singer, having her debut performance as a singer singing with actress Ana Sofrenović. In 1993, she won the first place at the Belgrade Spring Festival with the song "Sanjam" ("I'm Dreaming"). She performed on the festivals in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, regularly performing in jazz clubs in her homeland.

Her debut recording was Vlada Maričić's composition "Caravan", which she recorded with bass guitarist Dejan Škopelja and percussionist and keyboardist Boris Bunjac, with which she appeared on the 1993 various artists compilation album *Beogradska džez scena 1993.* (*Belgrade Jazz Scene 1993*). After long work, in the autumn of 1997, she released her debut album, entitled *Predeli* (*Landscapes*). The album was produced by Madam Piano herself and Dejan Škopelja, at the time her husband and a member of the band Babe. *Predeli* featured a mixture of jazz, popular and ethnic music. Beside Madame Piano's own songs, the album featured songs written by Nebojša Zulfikarpašić and Nebojša Kostić, the song "Cvetak žuti" ("Yellow Flower"), a cover of a song by Loreena McKennitt, a cover of Duke Ellington's song "Caravan", and a cover of Native American song "Niya Niya Ni". The album also featured the song "Galija" ("Galley"), which she recorded with the band Orthodox Celts. She appeared on the 1998 Music Festival Budva, performing the song "Moj Jasmine" ("Oh, My Jasmine") with flutist Bora Dugić. The song was released on the festival album *Budva 98*.

Her second album, entitled *Zemlja čuda* (*Wonderland*), was released in 2001. Unlike *Predeli*, *Zemlja čuda* was mostly ethnic music-oriented. The album was produced and arranged, as well as partially written by Boris Krstajić. It featured Bora Dugić and vocalists Franco Masi and Raul Alberto Dias. The song "Eternal Love", a duet with Italian singer Franco Masi became a large hit. Her following album, *Priče iz davnina* (*Tales from the Olden Times*), recorded with ethnic music band Teodulija, was stylistically similar to *Zemlja čuda*, featuring covers of Serbian traditional songs. The album was arranged and produced by Teodulija, Branko Isaković (who also played bass guitar on the album recording) and Boris Krstajić. The album featured guest appearances by vocalists Ružica Čavić, Marija Mihajlović, Predrag "Cune" Gojković, Oliver Njego, and other musicians. Some of the songs from *Priče iz davnina* were used in Balkan Novi Pokret theatre group play *Vilinsko kolo* (*Vilas' Kolo*) and Boba Dedić's film *Svetlost života* (*The Light of Life*).

In 2004, she took part in Beovizija, a national final where a representative for Serbia and Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 was chosen. With song *Igra* (Game) she placed 9th. After that, she retired from the scene. In an interview from December 2011, she stated that she is working on her comeback album.

## Other activities

During her presence on the scene, Madame Piano taught jazz singing in the Stanković Musical High School. She currently teaches singing at Belgrade New Academy of Arts and Petar Jelić's school Kulturno sklonište (*Cultural Shelter*).

Madame Piano is also an astrologist. In 2012, under the pseudonym Nia Niačić, she published astrology book *Odiseja 2012* (*Odyssey 2012*), which she co-wrote with Aleksandar Imširagić, president of Johan Kepler Institute in Belgrade, and Roy Gillett, the president of Astrological Association of Great Britain.

## Personal life

Madame Piano was married to musician Dejan Škopelja, who was a member of the bands U Škripcu and Babe. They have daughter named Luna. She is currently married to Marko Nedeljković. They have a son named Luka. She also started her own music school.

title: Ethel and Albert

abstract: Ethel and Albert is a radio and television comedy series about a married couple, Ethel and Albert Arbuckle, living in the small town of Sandy Harbor. Created by Peg Lynch, who scripted and portrayed Ethel, the series first aired on local Minnesota radio in the early 1940s before a run on the NBC Blue Network and ABC from May 29, 1944, to August 28, 1950. It co-starred Alan Bunce as Albert. Radio historian Gerald Nachman called the show "insightful and realistic... a real leap forward in domestic comedy—a lighthearted, clever, well-observed, daily 15-minute show about the amiable travails of a recognizable suburban couple" which combined "the domestic comedy of a vaudeville-based era with a keen modern sensibility. Lynch made her comic points without stooping to female stereotypes, insults, running gags, funny voices or goofy plots." The show began as three-minute filler between a pair of Minnesota KATE station programs, then expanded to 15 minutes, and finally became a half-hour show during its last years on radio. Like Easy Aces, the humor on Ethel and Albert was low key; like Vic and Sade, it was constructed around such simple, often mundane household situations as efforts to open a pickle jar. Often Ethel or Albert attempted to prove the other wrong over some inconsequential matter. For example, one entire script centered on Ethel's disputing Albert's claim that he could see her using only his peripheral vision. "I realized that I didn't have to sit down and knock myself out every minute to try to think of something funny," Lynch told critic Leonard Maltin years later. "All I had to do was look around me." Two film stars had a presence in the show. Richard Widmark, who portrayed Albert in 1944, left after six months and was replaced by Alan Bunce. Margaret Hamilton, famous as the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz, played Aunt Eva. Ethel and Albert's daughter Suzy was the only other voice heard on the original series.

# Ethel and Albert

***Ethel and Albert*** (aka ***The Private Lives of Ethel and Albert***) is a radio and television comedy series about a married couple, Ethel and Albert Arbuckle, living in the small town of Sandy Harbor. Created by Peg Lynch, who scripted and portrayed Ethel, the series first aired on local Minnesota radio in the early 1940s before a run on the NBC Blue Network and ABC from May 29, 1944, to August 28, 1950. It co-starred Alan Bunce as Albert.

Radio historian Gerald Nachman (in *Raised on Radio*) called the show "insightful and realistic... a real leap forward in domestic comedya lighthearted, clever, well-observed, daily 15-minute show about the amiable travails of a recognizable suburban couple" which combined "the domestic comedy of a vaudeville-based era with a keen modern sensibility. Lynch made her comic points without stooping to female stereotypes, insults, running gags, funny voices or goofy plots."

The show began as three-minute filler between a pair of Minnesota KATE station programs, then expanded to 15 minutes, and finally became a half-hour show during its last years on radio. Like *Easy Aces*, the humor on *Ethel and Albert* was low key; like *Vic and Sade*, it was constructed around such simple, often mundane household situations as efforts to open a pickle jar. Often Ethel or Albert attempted to prove the other wrong over some inconsequential matter. For example, one entire script centered on Ethel's disputing Albert's claim that he could see her using only his peripheral vision. "I realized that I didn't have to sit down and knock myself out every minute to try to think of something funny," Lynch told critic Leonard Maltin years later. "All I had to do was look around me."

Two film stars had a presence in the show. Richard Widmark, who portrayed Albert in 1944, left after six months and was replaced by Alan Bunce. Margaret Hamilton, famous as the Wicked Witch of the West in *The Wizard of Oz*, played Aunt Eva. Ethel and Albert's daughter Suzy (Madeleine Pierce, born in 1946) was the only other voice heard on the original series.

## Television

Peg Lynch brought her series to television as a continuing 15-minute segment on *The Kate Smith Hour* during the 1952–53 season. Lynch admitted years later that she wasn't happy with the move. "*Ethel and Albert* was a quiet show," she told Nachman, "and I was not a stage person who was accustomed to performing in front of an audience, as comedians are. And I always felt it spoiled my timing. I would have to hold up for the laugh."

The radio program about peripheral vision was only one of the radio scripts that Lynch rewrote for television. The *Ethel and Albert* television series was launched on NBC (April 25, 1953 – December 25, 1954). It moved to CBS (June 20, 1955 – September 26, 1955) as a summer replacement for *December Bride* and ended its television life on ABC (October 14, 1955 – July 6, 1956).

Scripts, kinescopes, financial documents and correspondence from the show are contained in the Peg Lynch Collection at the Knight Library at the University of Oregon. Several episodes of the television version also survive at the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

## *The Couple Next Door*

***The Couple Next Door*** was a similar Peg Lynch radio series which aired on CBS Radio during the waning days of network radio, (December 30, 1957 – November 25, 1960) with Margaret "Peg" Lynch and Alan Bunce as the married couple. Essentially, it reprised *Ethel and Albert*, but the new name was necessitated because Lynch had lost the rights to the original title. The CBS iteration was named Best Daytime Radio Program for 1959 by The National Association for Better Radio and Television.

Lynch and Bunce brought the program to NBC's weekend programming block *Monitor* in 1963, performing three- to four-minute vignettes not unlike the original 15-minute shows. Their presence continued a *Monitor* tradition of offering new material from classic radio favorites (including James and Marian Jordan of *Fibber McGee and Molly* fame, until Marian Jordan's death). Lynch returned again in the 1970s. In 1973, she revived *Ethel and Albert* on National Public Radio's Earplay with a 16-episode run. Karl Schmidt, the creator of *Earplay*, played Albert in this incarnation. In 1976, she wrote and starred in a syndicated radio feature known as *The Little Things in Life*, again with Margaret Hamilton and with Robert Dryden as the husband. *The Little Things in Life* was part of a four-series block syndicated under the umbrella title *Radio Playhouse*.

Very few of the original *Ethel and Albert* radio programs are known to have survived, but almost all of the CBS *Couple Next Door* episodes exist. Lynch authorized a CD release of 12 *Ethel and Albert* vignettes from *Monitor*.

The theme music for *The Couple Next Door* is "Miss Melanie" by British composer Ronald Binge.

# Eva Sopher

**Eva Sopher** (June 18, 1923 – February 7, 2018) was a Brazilian theatre manager in Porto Alegre. She renovated the São Pedro Theatre and ran it for 41 years.

## Life

Sopher was born in 1923 in Frankfurt am Main in Germany. She was born Eva Margarete Plaut; her parents Max and Marie were Jewish and, like many, her family left Germany to avoid the rise of Nazism in 1936. She was educated in São Paulo and when she was 16 she met Theodor Heuberger, who gave her work at his art gallery. Heuberger was the founder of the non-profit organization named *Pro-Arte* to create cultural events involving Brazil and Germany. Heuberger was supported by the composer Pedro Sinzig and the pianist Maria Amélia Rezende Martins.

Sopher ran many artistic endeavours in Porto Alegre for the organisation *Pro-Arte*.

In the 1970s the São Pedro Theatre was in need of a major renovation. The theatre dated from 1858. Sopher was chosen by the government to lead the project. The renovation was to take nine years and the theatre became Sopher's life's work. The theatre reopened in 1984. To achieve this she had created the Theatro São Pedro Foundation in 1982 and she became its president.

The theatre quickly became an artistic, social, and political centre in the country. Sopher was to run the theatre for 41 years (the rest of her life). In 1991 there was a challenge to her leadership but admirers including the Brazilian director and actor Bete Coelho gathered to hold hands around the theatre to show their support.

In 2015 she was awarded the Goethe Medal to recognise her work in improving cultural exchange. The organisers noted how she and her theatre were the hosts to different cultures. Given her background they particularly noted that this list includes the culture of Germany.

Further extensions to the theatre's facilities had been started by Sopher with a budget of R$20m but as the work was started the estimated costs rose to R$50m. Although still not complete in 2018 the project had delivered a car park, rooms for administration, a new restaurant, and a music salon.

## Death and legacy

Sopher died in Porto Alegre in 2018. The mayor Nelson Marchezan Júnior and José Ivo Sartori, who was Governor of Rio Grande do Sul declared three days of mourning. Sopher left two daughters, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

An 18,000 square metre community complex at the São Pedro Theatre was named after Eva Sopher.

# Goulburn Valley

The **Goulburn Valley** is a sub-region, part of the Hume region of the Australian state of Victoria. The sub-region consists of those areas in the catchment of the Goulburn River and other nearby streams, and is part of the Murray-Darling Basin. The Goulburn Valley is bordered on the south by the Great Dividing Range and to the north by the Murray River, the state border with New South Wales. The sub-region is one of Australia's most productive and intensively farmed areas and is predominantly irrigated.

Major regional centres of the Goulburn Valley are Shepparton, Seymour, Echuca, Benalla, Yarrawonga and Kyabram.

## History

Aboriginal groups inhabited the Goulburn Valley region prior to European settlement. In the central Goulburn around Nagambie, the traditional owners were the Natrakboolok, Ngooraialum or Thagungwurung tribes. Downstream, at Shepparton, the area was inhabited by the Yorta Yorta people. The Taungurung people are the traditional owners and inhabitants of the area Seymour now occupies.

European Settlement In 1824, Hume and Hovell on their return from Port Phillip, camped by the Goulburn River not far upstream of Seymour. In 1836 Major Mitchell crossed the Goulburn at Mitchellstown near Nagambie and soon afterwards overlanders and other early settlers began to use this crossing place on the Melbourne-Sydney route (now known as the Hume Highway). The mail service between Melbourne and Sydney had been operating for just a year when it was found that a better route was available using the "New Crossing Place" (now Seymour).

## Economy

Industries in the Goulburn Valley include agricultural activities such as fruit growing and dairying, which supply processing plants in Shepparton and outlying towns such as Strathmerton and Tongala. This food processing industry produces around 25% of Victoria's rural output. The SPC Ardmona plant, founded in 1917 in Shepparton, is one of the world's largest fruit canneries. Other important agricultural activities include woolgrowing and cropping. Water for irrigation is sourced from Lake Eildon and Goulburn Weir, with Lake Eildon supplying over half the water used in the Shepparton irrigation district.

## Wine

The Goulburn Valley wine region stretches from Seymour to Echuca on the Murray River. Wine production began in the region in 1860. A syndicate raised 25,000 to develop the Tahbilk winery. By 1875 trade with England had been established, and the winery was producing the equivalent of 70,000 cases of wine per year. Due to the sandy soil, Tahbilk was able to withstand the spread of Phylloxera, and in 1925 was the only winery in the area. As a result, the region is home to the oldest and largest plantings of Marsanne grape variety in the world. Other wine varieties grown include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Shiraz. As well as Tahbilk, other major wineries include Michelton between Seymour and Nagambie, Wine by Sam, Fowles Wines and boutique vineyards Box Grove and Brave Goose vineyard in the south near Seymour and Monichino near Katunga in the north. Nagambie Lakes is a recognised and protected subregion of the Goulburn Valley wine region.

Each year *Tastes of the Goulburn* food and wine festival is hosted in Seymour, showcasing the best local produce from the Goulburn Valley. Seymour also hosts the Victorian Wine Show.

## Politics

Local government in the region is provided by the City of Greater Shepparton and the Shires of Mitchell, Moira, Campaspe, Murrindindi, and Strathbogie. The region is represented at the federal level in the Australian House of Representatives by the Division of Nicholls as well as parts of the Divisions of McEwen and Indi. At the state level, the region includes the Electoral districts of Shepparton, Murray Plains, Euroa and Eildon.

## Transport

Major transport routes through the Goulburn Valley region include the Goulburn Valley Highway, Midland Highway and the Murray Valley Highway. Passenger rail services are provided from Melbourne to Seymour railway station the junction for they North East and Goulburn Valley lines which was opened in 1872 and then onto Shepparton and Echuca by V/Line.
