The school mascot is the "Whalers," paying homage to the village's history as a major whaling port. Students play football at East Hampton High School as the Bonackers, in a consortium that also includes the Bridgehampton School. Bridgehampton in turn sends athletes from some other sports to play at Pierson.

## History

The school was completed in 1908 at the cost of $102,000. The financing was gifted by Olivia Slocum Sage and was named for her maternal ancestor Abraham Pierson, one of the early European settlers of Southampton.

For the 2018 and 2019 seasons, low enrollment in East Hampton prompted Pierson to send its football players to Southampton High School.

## Academics

In the 2009 *Newsweek* magazine's annual list of the Top 1200 American High Schools, Pierson Middle-High School is ranked 676th.

In 2015, Niche ranked Pierson Middle-High School 49th overall in New York State with an A+ overall rating.

title: Point of view (philosophy)

abstract: In philosophy, a point of view is a specific attitude or manner through which a person thinks about something. This figurative usage of the expression dates back to 1730. In this meaning, the usage is synonymous with one of the meanings of the term perspective. The concept of the "point of view" is highly multifunctional and ambiguous. Many things may be judged from certain personal, traditional or moral points of view. Our knowledge about reality is often relative to a certain point of view. Vázquez Campos and Manuel Liz Gutierrez suggested to analyse the concept of "point of view" using two approaches: one based on the concept of "propositional attitudes", the other on the concepts of "location" and "access".

# Point of view (philosophy)

In philosophy, a **point of view** is a specific attitude or manner through which a person thinks about something. This figurative usage of the expression dates back to 1730. In this meaning, the usage is synonymous with one of the meanings of the term **perspective** (also **epistemic perspective**).

The concept of the "point of view" is highly multifunctional and ambiguous. Many things may be judged from certain personal, traditional or moral points of view (as in "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"). Our knowledge about reality is often relative to a certain point of view.

Vázquez Campos and Manuel Liz Gutierrez suggested to analyse the concept of "point of view" using two approaches: one based on the concept of "propositional attitudes", the other on the concepts of "location" and "access".

## Analysis

Margarita Vázquez Campos and Antonio Manuel Liz Gutiérrez in their work, "The Notion of Point of View", give a comprehensive analysis of the structure of the concept. They point out that despite being crucial in many discourses, the notion has not been adequately analyzed, though some important works do exist. They mention that early classical Greek philosophers, starting from Parmenides and Heraclitus discussed the relation between "appearance" and reality, i.e., how our points of view are connected with reality. They specifically point out Ludwig Wittgenstein's *Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus*. They consider Wittgenstein's theory of "pictures" or "models" (Wittgenstein used the German word *Bild*, which means both "picture" and "model") as an illustration of the relationship between points of view and reality.

### Propositional attitudes

The internal structure of a point of view may be analysed similarly to the concept of a propositional attitude. A propositional attitude is an attitude, i.e., a mental state held by an agent toward a proposition. Examples of such attitudes are "to believe in something", "to desire something", "to guess something", "to remember something", etc. Vazques Campos and Gutierrez suggest that points of view may be analyzed as structured sets of propositional attitudes. The authors draw on Christopher Peacocke's *Sense and Content*.

Within this approach one may carry out ontological classification of various distinctions, such as individual vs. collective points of view, personal vs. non-personal, non-conceptual vs. conceptual, etc.

### Location and access

Whereas propositional attitudes approach to analyze points of view internally, the "location/access" approach analyzes points of view externally, by their role. The term "access" refers to the statement of Liz Gutierrez that "points of views, or perspectives, are ways of having access to the world and to ourselves", and the term "location" is in reference to the provided quotation of Jon Moline that points of view are "ways of viewing things and events from certain locations". Moline rejects the notion that points of view are reducible to some rules based on some theories, maxims or dogmas. Moline considers the concept of "location" in two ways: in a direct way as a vantage point, and in an extended way, the way how a given vantage point provides a perspective, i.e., influences the perception.

This approach may address epistemological issues, such as relativism, existence of the absolute point of view, compatibility of points of view (including "faultless disagreement"), possibility of a point of view without a bearer, etc.

* Paradigm – Set of distinct concepts or thought patterns

title: Vasquez Formation

text:
# Vasquez Formation

The **Vasquez Formation** (**Tvz**) is a geologic formation cropping out at the eponymous Vasquez Rocks in southern California. The formation dates to the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene (Arikareean in the NALMA classification).

## Description

The Vasquez Formation was described as "Vasquez Series" by Sharp in 1935, and further described by Jahns (1939). The formation crops out in the eponymous Vasquez Rocks, part of the Los Angeles Basin. The formation was deposited in a series of minibasins between the San Gabriel and San Andreas Faults. The Vasquez Formation unconformably overlies Triassic basement of the Mount Lowe intrusive series, and localized the Jurassic syenite occurring in the area. The formation, comprising some rhyodacite and rhyolite, is overlain by the Paradise Springs Formation in the Punchbowl Block and the Tick Canyon strata in the Soledad Basin, separated by an angular unconformity. The formation is considered equivalent to the Plush Ranch and Diligencia Formations.

In the Soledad Basin and the San Andreas Fault Zone, the formation is described by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as: Early Miocene to Oligocene? yellowish and reddish sandstone, conglomerate, and interbedded andesite-basalt, lying on pre-Tertiary crystalline basement rocks and unconformably below strata of Tick Canyon Formation; total thickness as much as 3,810 metres (12,500 ft). The formation includes numerous beds and lenses of megabreccia, many monolithologic.

The formation represents the stratigraphically lowermost non-marine strata. The Vasquez Formation is composed primarily of bright-red conglomerate and sandstone. The conglomerate exhibits low degrees of rounding and sorting, a muddy matrix, and, commonly, reverse grading. South of Blue Ridge, the Vasquez Formation nonconformably overlies granitoid, although the base of the section is excised by the Blue Ridge Fault along much of its length. Interbedded trachyandesite is present near the base of the section, in places capped by thinly bedded tan limestone. Clasts of the Jurassic granitoid were encountered in the Vasquez Formation.

North of Blue Ridge, the Vasquez Formation also lies depositionally atop granitoid, possibly with some intervening San Francisquito Formation in places. The Vasquez Formation north of Blue Ridge contains lenses of very poorly sorted, very angular, matrix-poor megabreccias, interbedded with Vasquez Formation conglomerate and sandstone. These deposits fit the definitions of "crackle breccia facies" and "jigsaw breccia facies". The sorting, rounding, grading, and matrix within Vasquez conglomerate suggest deposition by debris-flow and hyperconcentrated-flow mechanisms. Where Vasquez Formation conglomerate is dominated by granitoid and volcanic clasts, the sandstone composition is dominated by feldspar, especially plagioclase. While where the Vasquez Formation conglomerate is dominated by sandstone clasts from the San Francisquito Formation, the Vasquez Formation sandstone contains significantly more quartz and sedimentary lithics.

The Vasquez Formation has been interpreted to represent primarily proximal alluvial-fan deposits. The lenses of granitoid crackle and jigsaw breccia in the Vasquez Formation north of Blue Ridge were concluded to be rock-avalanche deposits. The thin interval of thinly bedded limestone atop the interbedded trachyandesite was interpreted as lacustrine, likely the result of ponding against the volcanic flows. The high relative abundance of trachyandesite and rhyolite clasts immediately up section of the trachyandesite flows suggests that the rhyolite clasts are from deposits closely related to, and thus broadly coeval with, the trachyandesite flows. If so, then the 24.4 ± 0.9 Ma age determined by Coffey et al. in 2019 for the rhyolite clasts should approximate the age of the trachyandesite flows, and thus the age of the interbedded strata. Therefore, deposition of the Vasquez Formation in the Punchbowl Block probably began approximately 25–24 Ma or earlier. Zircons found in the overlying Tick Canyon strata and interpreted as coming from the Vasquez volcanics were dated at 25.3 ± 0.1 Ma.

### Deposition

In the Early Miocene, around 21 Ma, the paleogeography of the area has been interpreted as an existing high to the southeast of the Soledad Basin, where the alluvial fans prograded towards the northwest.

The formation was deposited before the San Gabriel Fault became active, during the deposition of the Mint Canyon and Castaic Formations.

Although the formation to date has not provided fossil remains, the Vasquez Formation has a strong but unproven potential for paleontological interest.

### Subdivision

The formation on United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps is subdivided into four units based on its lithological composition;

* Tvza - andesitic volcanic rocks (early Miocene? to late Oligocene) — Dark-gray to dark reddish-brown andesite and basaltic andesite, hard, very fine-grained matrix with fine- to medium euhedral phenocrysts of plagioclase feldspar. Occasional flow banding, conglomeratic layering, and some silica-filled amygdules are visible. Outcrops locally exhibit sub-parallel sheet jointing.
* Tvzb - basaltic volcanic rocks (early Miocene? to late Oligocene) — Dark-gray, basaltic to andesitic volcanic rocks. Unit contains small phenocrysts of augite and olivine. Outcrop exposures are highly jointed and resistant, with weathered surfaces dark-gray to dark- brown.
* Tvzc - non-marine conglomerate (early Miocene? to late Oligocene) — Pebble- to cobble fluvial conglomerate and red clayey siltstone. The unit consists of sub-rounded to rounded clasts of gray, tan, pink, and lavender volcanic rocks. Also contains quartz monzonitic to granodioritic clasts.
* Tvzs - sedimentary rocks (early Miocene? to late Oligocene) — Pebble- to cobble fluvial conglomerate and red clayey siltstone. This unit consists of sub-rounded to rounded clasts of gray, tan, pink, and lavender volcanic rocks. It also contains quartz monzonitic to granodioritic clasts.

# Little Heroes (band)

**Little Heroes** were an Australian band formed in 1980, by founding mainstay Roger Hart (aka Roger Wells or Roger Hart-Wells, ex-Secret Police) on lead vocals and guitar. They released three studio albums, *Little Heroes* (August 1981), *Play by Numbers* (August 1982) and *Watch the World* (September 1983). Their highest charting hit, "One Perfect Day", which was released in 1982, reached No. 12 on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart. Their other charting singles are "Young Hearts" (1982), "Watch the World" and "Bon Voyage" (both 1983). They disbanded in June 1984.

## History

In 1980, Little Heroes were formed in Melbourne from the remnants of pub rockers Secret Police. Secret Police had formed in 1978, with Roger Hart (aka Roger Wells or Roger Hart-Wells, ex-The Cruisers) as singer-songwriter and guitarist, Bruce Pumpa on drums, and Neil Walker on bass guitar. Walker died in 1979 from leukaemia and was replaced by John Taylor (ex-Soap, Llama, Hot Rocket and Uncle Bob's Band). They were soon joined by Andrew Callender on guitar and backing vocals, and Peter Linley on saxophone. The Secret Police did not issue any records, although they posthumously contributed "Emotion" and "Everybody Looks Lonely at Night" to Missing Link Records' various artists compilation album *The Melbourne Club* (1981). In 1980 Hart, Pumpa and Taylor joined with David Crosbie on keyboards to start an indie pop band, The Little Heroes.

The Little Heroes competed in the Victorian state heat of the 1980 Battle of the Sounds, finishing second; however upon progressing they won the national final in Sydney, earning $5000. In November that year they released their debut single, "She Says". Huk Treloar (ex-Bleeding Hearts, High Rise Bombers, Living Legends, Sneakers) replaced Pumpa on drums. The group signed with Giant Records/CBS to record their debut self-titled album, with production by Peter Dawkins (Matt Finish), which was released in August 1981. It reached No. 81 on the Australian Kent Music Report albums Chart and provided three singles, "For a Bleeding Heart" (March 1981), "Last Number One" (June), and "India Was Calling Me" (September). Later that year Alan 'Clutch' Robertson replaced Treloar on drums.

By early 1982, the group had signed to EMI Records and started recording their second album, *Play by Numbers*, with Dave Marrett producing. The first single from these sessions, "One Perfect Day", was released in March, which reached No. 12. Their second single, "Young Hearts" (July), which reached No. 42. By mid-82, Martin Fisher (ex-Breakers) had replaced Crosbie on keyboards, and Peter Leslie replaced Taylor on bass guitar. The new line up completed *Play by Numbers* at 301 Studios in Sydney in July with Marrett. The album was released in August and peaked at No. 37. In October it yielded a third single, "Saturday (Afternoon) Inside", which failed to chart.

At the end of 1982, Fisher and Leslie left to join fellow indie pop band, Dear Enemy, and were replaced by Paul Brickhill (ex-MEO-245) on keyboards and bass guitarist, Rick Loriot (ex-Inserts). Loriot left after four weeks and was replaced on bass guitar by Anthony Tavasz (ex-Modesty). The group added Paul Bell on guitar which allowed Hart more freedom as lead vocalist.

In June 1983, The group travelled to the United Kingdom to record their third album, *Watch the World*, with UK producer, Rupert Hine (The Fixx, Howard Jones). The album was issued in Australia in September and reached No. 50.

The lead single, "Watch the World", was released in August and reached No. 73, while the second single "Bon Voyage" (November) peaked at No. 51. Both are written by Hart (as Roger Galtier Wells). A third single "Modern Times", co-written by Hart and Bell, appeared in March the following year but it failed to chart. Also that month Hart announced he was leaving the group and by June The Little Heroes had disbanded.

## Post Heroes

After The Little Heroes had broken up, Roger Hart (as Roger Wells) became a writer and meditation trainer. His books on meditation include: *Happy to Burn: Meditation to Energise Your Spirit* (Lothian 1997) and *Love & Imagination*. His first novel, *Levin's God* (2004), was published by Fremantle Arts Centre Press. *The Sydney Morning Herald*'s reviewer, Juliette Hughes, felt the book was "like the reminiscences of an old rock-dog" and his writing was "prolific and specific and sometimes tells more than some of us want to know, but keeps us turning those hundreds of pages just to find out what happens to everyone". John Taylor became a film maker and graphics designer. He won an AFI award for *The Huge Adventures of Trevor, a Cat* in the category of Best Short Animation in 1986.

As of September 2013 Paul Brickhill was the Head of Music/Audio Visual Coordinator at the Australian Ballet School. As of December 2000 David Crosbie was the Chief Executive of Melbourne's Odyssey House, a drug and alcohol treatment centre, and was on the National Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs. By 2007 he was the Chief Executive of the Mental Health Council of Australia and a member of Australian National Council on Drugs.

Alan 'Clutch' Robertson worked for Warner Music for sixteen years in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. He then established Alan Robertson Management, representing various bands: Magic Dirt, Taxiride and Juke Kartel. Robertson later worked in the mobile advertising and publishing industry.

Martin Fisher became a Crown Prosecutor in the Northern Territory and by October 2010 was Acting Director, Legal Policy for the Department of Justice. He played keyboards in popular Darwin band The Fabulous Baker Brothers. Peter McCaughley (ex-Ready Rubbed) was a drummer for The Secret Police from 1979 to 1980. After leaving The Secret Police he joined Danger Dancer and died in 1986 of a brain haemorrhage at the age of 32.

In December 2015 a previously unreleased live album, recorded at RMIT Storey Hall and broadcast live on Melbourne radio station 3RRR, was released digitally. The album was called 'Live Bootleg 1980'.

Four referendums were held in Switzerland during 1951. The first was held on 25 February on a federal resolution on transport, and was rejected by voters. The second was held on 15 April on a popular initiative to ensure purchasing power and full employment, together with a counterproposal. The counterproposal was approved by 69% of voters, whilst the original proposal was rejected by 88% of voters.

# Pinch valve

A **pinch valve** is a full bore or fully ported type of control valve which uses a pinching effect to obstruct fluid flow.

## Operating principle

Pinch valves employ an elastic tubing (sleeve/hose) and a device that directly contacts the tubing (body). Forcing the tubing together creates a seal that is equivalent to the tubing's permeability.

Air-operated pinch valves consist of an elasticised reinforced rubber hose, a type of housing, and two socket end covers (or flanges). In air-operated pinch valves, the rubber hoses are usually press-fitted and centered into the housing ends by the socket covers. There is no additional actuator, the valve closes as soon as there is a pressurized air supply into the body. When the air supply becomes interrupted and the volume of air exhausts, the elastic rubber hose starts to open due to the force of the process flow.

## Applications

Pinch valves are typically used in applications where the flowing media needs to be completely isolated from any internal valve parts. The sleeve will contain the flow media and isolate it from the environment, hence reducing contamination. They are commonly applied to medical instruments, clinical or chemical analyzers, and a wide range of laboratory equipment.

They are used in some water pistols, notably the original Super Soaker 50.

## Material selection

The sleeve material is selected among suitable synthetic polymer based upon the corrosiveness and abrasiveness of the flow media. A key selection criterion is the operation temperature, which needs to be within the limit of the polymer.

Several rubber qualities are available for pinch valves such as natural rubber, EPDM, nitrile, viton, neoprene and butyl. Different housings and end covers/flange materials such as aluminium, plastics and stainless steel are also available.

# Poison Ivy: Thorns

***Poison Ivy: Thorns*** is a 2021 young adult gothic-horror graphic novel written by Kody Keplinger, with art by Sara Kipin. It was published by DC Comics on June 1, 2021 as part of their DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults line. The graphic novel tells the origin story of Poison Ivy, focusing on her teenage years.

## Production

*Poison Ivy: Thorns* was written by Kody Keplinger, with art by Sara Kipin, lettering by Steve Wands, and coloring by Jeremy Lawson. It tells the origin story of the DC Comics character Poison Ivy, focusing on her teenage years.

Poison Ivy had been Keplinger's favorite comic book character since she was young, with the writer stating that the bisexual Ivy "feels tailor made for \[her\] interests as a nature-loving, gay makeup enthusiast". Keplinger was keen to write for the character and *Poison Ivy: Thorns* was the result of her pitch to DC Comics for a modern Gothic story about Ivy. Keplinger's intention was to write "an angsty gothic romance" that her teenage self would have loved, and her influences for the novel included "queer gothic literature" such as Sarah Waters' *Fingersmith*. Keplinger also noted that DC Comics gave her a lot of freedom to reimagine Ivy's origins, and she drew inspiration from the character's previous iterations. Other DC characters do not appear in the novel, as the creators wanted Ivy to be the sole focus of the story.

Kipin described the graphic novel as an "LGBT horror stor\[y\]", and the artist found it easy to relate to Ivy, using her own experiences as "a moody LGBT teen" to flesh out the character.

The graphic novel was published by DC Comics on June 1, 2021, as part of a Pride Month initiative.

## Synopsis

The story follows a teenage Pamela Isley, who is presented as a shy and withdrawn young woman who is constantly abused and tormented by the men in her life. At school, she is bullied by a popular male classmate she briefly dated but later dumped, to which the principal turns a blind eye. At home, she is forced to act as a test subject for numerous experiments by her father in his increasingly futile efforts to cure Pamela's mother of a terminal illness. Pamela slowly begins to feel less and less human as she turns to the vast array of plants growing in her father's lab for companionship, using them to teach herself the science of botany.

Eventually, her relationship with another student named Alice convinces Pamela to take control of her life. Through genetic manipulation and her knowledge of plant life, she transforms herself into a plant-human hybrid and takes revenge on her father, the principal, and her old boyfriend. Renouncing her humanity forever, she renames herself "Poison Ivy" and sets out to fulfill her dream of a world where plants can exist free from the evils of human civilization.

## Critical reception

Benton Jones' review for *Comic Book Resources* praised the "impressively complex narrative" that portrays Ivy as a sympathetic yet dark character. On the other hand, *ComicBookWire* found that the attempt to portray Ivy as both a hero and a villain resulted in a contradictory characterization. *Publishers Weekly* was critical of Keplinger's writing, particularly her overuse of storytelling tropes, but enjoyed the visual elements that Kipin and Lawson brought to the book. *Kirkus Reviews* found the novel "\[a\]tmospheric and haunting", and wrote that it "manages to bring heart to an antihero". In a review for the *School Library Journal*, Carla Riemer concluded that *Poison Ivy: Thorns* provides an "intriguing and sympathetic" backstory for the DC Comics villain.

title: Melinda Esterházy

abstract: Melinda Esterházy was a Hungarian-Austrian landowner and former ballet dancer. She was the wife of Prince Paul Esterházy, an Austro-Hungarian nobleman of the Esterházy family.

# Melinda Esterházy

**Melinda Esterházy** (born Melinda Ottrubay, May 24, 1920, in Budapest – August 27, 2014, in Eisenstadt) was a Hungarian-Austrian landowner and former ballet dancer. She was the wife of Prince Paul Esterházy, an Austro-Hungarian nobleman of the Esterházy family.

Esterházy inherited Paul's wealth after his death. Since she had no children, she created several foundations to preserve the cultural and historic heritage of the Esterházy family, with the historic family seat Schloss Esterházy in Eisenstadt as the centre of all activities.

## Life

### Early life and marriage

Her parents were Dezsö (or Demeter) Ottrubay, president of the Budapest Higher Regional Court, and his wife Rose, née von Schmidt. She had a younger brother, Josef Ottrubay (1926–2015), who lived as a university lecturer in Lucerne.

After high school, she starred in two feature films in 1939. At the age of 24 Melinda Ottrubay was appointed prima ballerina assoluta of the Budapest Opera.

On August 3, 1946, Melinda Ottrubay married Prince Paul V Esterházy de Galántha in Budapest. The marriage remained childless.

### Title and name

In 1921, when today's Burgenland was added to the Republic of Austria, Paul opted for Hungarian citizenship. This left him with the Hungarian personal status and with it his princely title and his nobility name, which he would have had to do without if he had opted for Austrian citizenship due to the nobility in Austria that was repealed in April 1919. After the Hungarian monarchy ceased to exist at the beginning of 1947 and Hungary had become a people's democracy, the nobility and denominations in Hungary was abolished. Thus the names of the couple in Hungary and internationally became Paul Esterházy and Melinda Esterházy.

### Escape from Hungary and further life

In 1949 Paul Esterházy was sentenced to fifteen years in prison during the show trial of Cardinal József Mindszenty. It was only in 1954 that Melinda was allowed to visit her husband in Kőbánya prison after having been without news of him for over four years. He was finally released on October 30, 1956, in the course of the Hungarian uprising. Paul and Melinda Esterházy fled to Austria on November 1, 1956, in a car disguised as a Red Cross vehicle via the Nickelsdorf border crossing. Her escape was planned and organized by the Viennese lawyer Kurt Werner and the Burgenland member of the National Council, Franz Strobl. They traveled on to Switzerland, where they lived in Zurich until Paul's death in 1989.

### Death and posthumous exhibition

Esterházy died on August 27, 2014, in Eisenstadt in the presence of her family. On October 15, 2016, the exhibition *Melinda Esterházy: "Life has given me a lot"* opened at Esterházy Palace in Eisenstadt, showing both her career as a prima ballerina and her life at the side of Prince Paul V. Esterházy.

## Career

She started dancing as a young girl and later became a dancer with the Budapest Opera House.

Esterházy also acted in movies. She is best known for her role as Éva in Hungary's *Revival* (1939). She portrayed a ballet prima donna in the movie *Pénz áll a házhoz* (1939).

# Maangchi

**Emily Kim** (born **Kim Kwang-sook**; Korean: 김광숙; RR: *Gim Gwang-suk*; MR: *Kim Kwang-suk*; born 1957), commonly known as **Maangchi** (망치; *Mangchi*; *Mangch'i*), is a South Korean-born American YouTuber and author. She is notable for producing cooking videos centered around Korean cuisine. She was described by *The New York Times* as "YouTube's Korean Julia Child.".

## Life

Kim was born in Yeosu, South Korea. Her family was involved in the seafood industry, and Kim learned how to cook from her female relatives.

In 1992, Kim and her husband moved to Columbia, Missouri, where Kim worked as a teacher. In Missouri, she found the quality, variety, and availability of Korean food to be lacking, and so she often cooked for other members of the local Korean-American community. She immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 2002.

In 2003, she and her husband divorced, and with her two fully-grown children out of the house, Kim started playing MMO *City of Heroes* using the character name *Maangchi*, meaning "Hammer" in Korean. After this and up until 2007, Kim worked as a family counselor for a nonprofit organization.

### Culinary career

Kim was introduced to YouTube's online cooking scene in 2007, inspiring her to begin making videos about Korean food, using the channel name "Maangchi". Her channel quickly grew in popularity, attributed to her upbeat attitude and her strict adherence to traditional Korean recipes. Along with her cooking videos on Youtube, Kim also runs a website at *maangchi.com* that includes a request section and discussion board for fans, along with additional photos and a podcast. In 2013, Kim worked together with *Top Chef* winner Kristen Kish on a PBS program called *Lucky Chow*, where she gave Kish a cooking lesson in traditional Korean cuisine that focused on kimchi and *japchae*.

Prompted by her YouTube channel's success, Kim published her first cookbook in 2015, titled *Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking*. Her second cookbook named *Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking* was made with co-author Martha Rose Shulman and published by Rux Martin in 2019. The book discusses recipes alongside how to use certain cooking utensils and a picture guide to Korean ingredients. In March 2018, the South Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced it would be collaborating with Kim and her brand to better showcase Korean foods to North American consumers.

As of May 2023, Kim's YouTube channel has 6.2 million subscribers.

# The Hague Institute for Global Justice

**The Hague Institute for Global Justice**, often referred to as simply **The Hague Institute** or **THIGJ**, is an international think tank located in The Hague, Netherlands. It was established in 2011 by a consortium of partners including the Municipality of The Hague, an academic coalition of Hague-based organizations and with support from the Dutch government. Its current president is Jordanian businesswoman Sohair Salam Saber.

## History

The Hague Institute was founded in 2011 by a consortium of partners including the Municipality of The Hague and an academic coalition of Hague-based organizations, with support from the Dutch government. Its stated aim, to "contribute to, and further strengthen, the global framework for preventing and resolving conflict and promoting international peace."

Nico Schrijver, academic director of the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies at Leiden University, served as the Institute's first dean between January and August 2011. Willem van Genugten served as interim dean of the Institute from September 2011 to December 2012. He was succeeded by the Institute's first president, Abiodun Williams, the former senior vice president of the Center for Conflict Management at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) on January 1, 2013.

### Williams tenure

In articles by the Dutch magazine *De Groene Amsterdammer* and the Dutch newspaper *De Volkskrant*, as well as in a report published by Price Waterhouse Coopers, Williams was accused of a failure to "acquire external resources" to allow the Institute to function beyond the 20 million in subsidies granted to the Institute by the Dutch government. Williams was also accused of maintaining "exorbitant expense reports" while fostering a hostile work environment.

### Bankruptcy and revival

By 2018 the Institute was insolvent, closing its doors in April of that year. The Institute was declared bankrupt in May 2018.

In July 2018, following talks between the Institute and Sohair Salam Saber, a Jordanian businesswoman, a declaration of intent to continue the Institute was announced. In September 2018, Saber purchased the Institute.

On 29 January 2019, at Nieuwspoort at the Dutch parliamentary building, Saber was announced as the Institute's second president. During the event, Mahmoud Abuwasel was announced as vice president of the Institute.

In June 2022, the Institute requested observer status with the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

## Advisory board

The Institute's leadership is supported by a panel of advisors consisting of individuals who have previously held political, diplomatic and legal positions in various countries. As of 2023, its members are:

# Pietro Alessandro Guglielmi

**Pietro Alessandro Guglielmi** (9 December 1728 – 19 November 1804) was an Italian opera composer of the classical period.

## Biography

Guglielmi was born into the Guglielmi family of musicians in Massa. His father, Jacopo Guglielmi, was a composer and conductor of the orchestra in the court of the Duke of Massa. Pietro received his first musical education from his father who taught him to play bassoon and the viola; eventually becoming a musician under his father at court while still a boy. Pietro's brother, Abate Domenico, was the maestro di cappella at the Massa Cathedral, and Pietro studied the organ under him.

A child prodigy, Guglielmi's talent as a musician earned him the favor of the Duke of Massa who took an interest in supporting his musical development. The Duke initially paid for Guglielmi to have formal musical training with Jacopo Puccini in Massa, and afterwards paid his tuition for his education at the Conservatorio di Santa Maria di Loreto in Naples which he entered in 1746.At that conservatory he was a pupil of Francesco Durante, and in 1750 he was appointed a primo maestrino (a post responsible for teaching younger students) at that institution. He completed his studies at the conservatory in 1754.

His first operatic work, produced at Turin in 1755, established his reputation, and soon his fame spread beyond the limits of his own country, so that in 1762 he was called to Dresden to conduct the opera there. He remained for some years in Germany, where his works met with much success, but the greatest triumphs were reserved for him in England.

He went to London, according to Charles Burney, in 1768, but according to Francesco Florimo in 1772, returned to Naples in 1777. He continued to produce operas at an astounding rate, but was unable to compete successfully with the younger masters of the day. In 1793 he became *maestro di cappella* at St Peter's, Rome, where he died in 1804.

He was a very prolific composer of Italian dramma giocoso and commedia per musica operas, and there is in most of his scores a vein of humour and natural gaiety not surpassed by Domenico Cimarosa himself. In opera seria he was less successful. But here also he shows at least the qualities of a competent musician. Considering the enormous number of his works, his unequal workmanship and the frequent instances of mechanical and slipshod writing in his music need not surprise us.

He also wrote oratorios and miscellaneous pieces of orchestral and chamber music. Of his eight sons two at least acquired fame as musicians: Pietro Carlo Guglielmi (1763-1827), a successful imitator of his father's operatic style, and Giacomo Guglielmi, an excellent singer.

Currently the team competes in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship. The team always focussed on regional and continental championships in Germany and Europe.

Over time, the team entered using different names, namely **ma-con Motorsport**, **ma-con Racing** and **ma-con Engineering** alongside the common ma-con name. For the 2011 ADAC Formel Masters season the team run a second entry named **Krafft Walzen**.

## History

Founded in 2001 by successful German F3 team manager Marian Hamprecht, the team run in multiple Formula 1 feeder series and gained multiple success in the lower categories of open-wheel racing. After an early campaign in the 2002 and 2003 Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup seasons, the team bought out the Den Blå Avis outfit and thus appeared on the grid of the 2004 FIA F3000 Championship. Despite finishing third in the team's standings in their rookie season and pushing series veteran Tomáš Enge to fourth in the driver's championship, the team discontinued their entry and rather supported Enge's 2005 IRL entry, while joining the Italian F3000 grid with an all-Czech team. Despite even more success in the Italian F3000, the team took a break from racing after 2005.

In 2008 the team joined the ADAC Formel Masters to build up a junior team spanning different tiers of feeder series, leading into the graduation of André Rudersdorf and Sven Müller within their team onto higher levels of open-wheel racing.

In order to re-gain momentum of their 2012 FIA Formula 3 European Championship campaign the team closed down their ADAC Formel Masters operation despite one driver's and one team's title. The team signed British drivers Emil Bernstorff and Tom Blomqvist. Blomqvist had two podiums, while Bernstorff had only one. The team finished fourth in the teams' championship of 2012 Formula 3 Euro Series. The team also participated with Rudersdorf in Austrian Formula 3 Cup and in the Trophy Class of the German Formula Three Championship. He won both titles.

This, however, didn't bring the success the team hoped for and stopped operating after the 2013 season. The team operated Christopher Höher's car in the Most round of the 2015 Remus F3 Cup in order to test Oreca F3 engine in the race conditions. He took one podium, but it was the only weekend for the ma-con crew, as in the Brno round Höher returned to Franz Wöss Racing's Dallara F308 Opel-Spiess.

In 2018 ma-con made the announcement to re-join FIA Formula 3 European Championship with German driver Julian Hanses after four-year break.

title: Pan-Electric Industries

abstract: Pan-Electric Industries was a Singapore-based company that specialised in marine salvage work, and had 71 subsidiary companies, including hotel and property interests, with a market capitalization of S$230 million. The company collapsed in December 1985 due to massive unsettled forward contracts, forcing the Stock Exchange of Singapore (SES) and Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) to shut down for three days. At its demise, the company had a total debt of S$480 million, and all its shares held by 5,500 shareholders were found to be worthless overnight. As of 2000, it remains the largest corporate collapse in Singapore's history, and the only instance where the SES had to be unexpectedly closed. In the aftermath of the collapse, key people in the company such as Peter Tham, Tan Kok Liang, and Tan Koon Swan were prosecuted and given varying jail sentences. The collapse of the company shook public confidence in the SES, causing prices of stocks to plunge and resulted in the bankruptcy of some stockbroking firms. New securities laws were introduced in March 1986 to ensure that stockbroking firms could protect themselves against credit risks.
