# Åke Hodell

**Åke Hodell** (April 30, 1919 – July 29, 2000) was a Swedish fighter pilot, poet, author, text-sound composer, and artist.

## Biography

Hodell was the son of author Björn Hodell and brother of actor Ulla Hodell; the film director Laila Hodell, born in 1944, was his daughter.

Hodell trained as a fighter pilot, but after a crash during practice on July 17, 1941, he had to spend the next few years in hospital. This was a turning point, and he became a dedicated antimilitarist. Lying in hospital, he got to know author Gunnar Ekelöf. Hodell published his first book, *Flyende Pilot*, in 1953. In his books, Hodell experimented with what he called *elektronismer*; on stage and in radio in the early 60s, he worked with text-sound composition. During this period he was also active at *Pistolteatern* in Stockholm. He created the book publisher Kerberos.

One of his visual artworks, the piece "220 Volt Buddha", was used as the album cover of Swedish heavy metal band At the Gates' 1993 album *With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness*.

Hodell died in 2000 in Stockholm.

### General Busy

One of Hodell's most famous works was added in 1963 and was given the title General Busy. The work is a piece of concrete poetry with long repetitions of minimalist variations on words, syllables and sound elements from a few simple sentences, e.g. "General Busy! I want to obey orders!". According to Hodell himself, the agency must express how a young conscripts' resistance to the authorities in the defense is gradually broken down, and how the conscience finally accepts ordering and blind obedience to the commanders. The conscience is represented in the paragraph by the letter "I", which he thought looked as if it were in a deed. The title refers to the fact that in the Swedish defense in the 1950s began to say that the commanders would be "bushy" and the crew's comrade, unlike the former cadaver discipline.

# Newlands, Cape Town

**Newlands (Nuweland)** is an upmarket suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. It is located at the foot of Table Mountain in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, and is the wettest suburb in South Africa due to its high winter rainfall. The neighborhood of Bishopscourt is situated to its south west, Claremont to its south east, and Rondebosch to its east and north east.

## History

Little is known of the inhabitants, likely Khoekhoe clans such as the ǃUriǁʼaekua, of the area prior to the arrival of the Dutch East India Company and the establishment of Cape Town and the Cape Colony in 1652.

Then Governor of the colony, Willem Adriaan van der Stel, was granted land for an estate in 1700 which he named De Nieuwe Land or Nieuwland. The estate was sold in 1791 and changed hands a number of times until 1826. In the 1860s the estate was leased to the British Colonial Government so as to act as a country residence for Cape Governors during which time it is thought that Newlands Village was established.

A railway line to Cape Town central, extended from Salt River, was opened in the neighborhood on 19 December 1864.

## Notable locations

It is best known for Newlands Cricket Ground and Newlands Stadium, a rugby union and football venue. It is also the original home of Ohlsson's Cape Breweries, which is still located next to the rugby grounds. The original Ohlsson's Anneberg Brewery site is now location of the SACS grounds. The only remainder of the original brewery is the Josephine Mill, which used a water wheel to grind the grain for the brewery. This is now a historic monument and restaurant. Next door to SACS is the Montebello Design Centre located within the historic stables of Cecil Michaelis's estate and bequeathed to the University of Cape Town.

The pipeline from the Table Mountain spring which supplies the Newlands Brewery runs under the historic Cardiff Castle Building which is located in Newlands Village.

The Liesbeek River runs through Newlands, past the Vineyard Hotel, and was the original water source used to make the first European-style beer in southern Africa. Friends of The Liesbeek maintain a walk along the river bank, past landmarks in the area.

The distinctive southern half of Newlands, bordering the suburb Bishopscourt, is known as Fernwood, after a farm estate which used to occupy this area. The original manor house of this estate still exists, but is now used as a parliamentary sports club.

In 1967 the first Spur Steak Ranch was opened on Dean Street in Newlands.

### Parks

The neighborhood is the location of a number of notable parks such as Newlands Forest and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens.

Newlands Forest is incorporated within the Table Mountain National Park. The forest is a popular outdoor recreation area which includes surviving remnants of indigenous afro-temperate forest and endangered Granite Fynbos, as well as extensive pine plantations. There are also historic sites including the Woodcutter's Cottage and Lady Anne Barnard's Path. Newlands is home to the indigenous frog species Rose's ghost frog and sandellia, a tiny frog that lives in the waters of the Liesbeek river.

### Newlands spring

The fresh water springs in Newlands have played an important role in the development and history of the area. The springs are locally renowned for the high quality of the water they produce. It is still a popular practice for Capetonians to collect water at the springs. The main spring is located at the South African Breweries brewery on the corner of Main and Letterstead Road. A second popular spring was located on Kildare Road but was closed during the Cape Town water crisis in 2018 following a physical altercation between water collectors. Other reasons given for its closure by the municipality was that the council found water collection difficult to regulate at the site and due to complaints from locals about noise and traffic congestion.

The water at the springs have played an important role in the brewing industry with South Africa's first licensed brewery being set up in the area at Papenboom in 1694. Water from the springs were also used to power water mills from the mid-1800s on wards.

## Education

It is home to a number of schools, including the South African College Schools (SACS) Junior and High Schools as well as Groote Schuur High School and Sans Souci Girls' High School. The Imhoff sports grounds of Westerford High School (which borders the neighborhood) is also located within Newlands. The Peter Clarke Art Centre is located in south eastern corner of the neighborhood.

## History

The area of Ōnojō is located in former Chikuzen Province and has had strong ties with Hakata and Dazaifu since ancient times. The city takes its name from Ōno Castlem which was built in the Asuka Period to protect Daizaifu against possible invasion by Silla and Tang China. Nearby Mizuki Castle also served the same purpose. The city area also has many other ruins, including the Ushikubi Sue Ware Kiln Site, from a time when this area was a major producer of Sue ware pottery. During the Edo Period, it was largely under the control of Fukuoka Domain.

After the Meiji restoration, the village of Ōno was established on May 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. It was raised to town status on October 10, 1951 and changed its name to Ōnojō on being raised to city status on April 1, 1972.

## Government

Ōnojō has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral city council of 20 members. Ōnojō contributes two members to the Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly. In terms of national politics, the city is part of the Fukuoka 5th district of the lower house of the Diet of Japan.

## Economy

Ōnojō is largely a commuter town for Fukuoka City, with almost half the full-time residents of the city commuting to work or school within Fukuoka City, daily. The city also is a commercial center and has light manufacturing. At the beginning of the 21st century the area has seen continued real estate development partly due to good infrastructure, unlike more rural parts of the prefecture. The retailers Seiyu Group and Aeon have stores in the area, as do several conbini chains. Central Ōnojō is on the flight path to Fukuoka airport, so noise pollution can be a problem.

## Education

Ōnojō has ten public elementary schools and five public junior high schools operated by the city government and one public high schools operated by the Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education. There is also one private high school. Kyushu University's Gratduate School is located in the city.

title: Newsy Lalonde

abstract: Édouard Cyrille "Newsy" Lalonde was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward in the National Hockey League (NHL) and a professional lacrosse player. Lalonde is regarded as one of hockey's and lacrosse's greatest players of the first half of the 20th century and one of Canadian sport's most colourful characters. He played for the Montreal Canadiens – considered to be the original "Flying Frenchman" – in the National Hockey Association and the NHL. As player-coach, Lalonde led the Canadiens to their first Stanley Cup in 1916. His goal-scoring prowess in the 1919 Stanley Cup playoffs set three NHL records that remain unbroken over a century later. He also played for the WCHL's Saskatoon Sheiks.

# Newsy Lalonde

**Édouard Cyrille** "**Newsy**" **Lalonde** (October 31, 1887 – November 21, 1970) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward in the National Hockey League (NHL) and a professional lacrosse player. Lalonde is regarded as one of hockey's and lacrosse's greatest players of the first half of the 20th century and one of Canadian sport's most colourful characters. He played for the Montreal Canadiens – considered to be the original "Flying Frenchman" – in the National Hockey Association and the NHL. As player-coach, Lalonde led the Canadiens to their first Stanley Cup in 1916. His goal-scoring prowess in the 1919 Stanley Cup playoffs set three NHL records that remain unbroken over a century later. He also played for the WCHL's Saskatoon Sheiks.

## Early life and family

Lalonde was born to Pierre Lalonde (1847 – 1926) and Rose Lalonde (1849 – 1939). As a minor, he worked as, first, a reporter, then as a printer, for the Cornwall Freeholder and Woodstock, Ontario *Express* newspapers, where he acquired the "Newsy" moniker.

On May 7, 1913, Lalonde married Iona Elizabeth Letters (1899 – 1966), daughter of James Harcourt and Sarah Job. The couple had two children.

## Early ice hockey career

In 1904, Lalonde started his career with the Cornwall Victorias of the Federal Amateur Hockey League (FAHL). The next season, he played for the Woodstock club of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior A League. Lalonde made the trek to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in 1906 to play in the International Professional Hockey League, hockey's first known professional league. In his one season in the Sault, he was named to the IHL Second All-Star Team. In 1907, Lalonde signed with the Toronto Professionals of the Ontario Professional Hockey League, and with line mates Bruce Ridpath and Wally Mercer led the "Torontos" to the league championship, losing the Cup in a close match with the Montreal Wanderers in which Lalonde scored twice.

The year 1910 saw the foundation of the National Hockey Association (NHA), precursor to the NHL, and Lalonde joined the Montreal Canadiens for their first season. Lalonde scored the first goal for the Montreal Canadiens. Halfway through the season, the Habs traded him to the Renfrew Creamery Kings, for whom Lalonde led the league in scoring. He rejoined the Canadiens for the 1911 season—professional hockey was only then developing any sense of teams retaining the rights to their players—during which he had several stick battles and provoked the ire of opposing fans.

With the formation of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) in 1912, Lalonde jumped to the Vancouver Millionaires, and promptly led the league in scoring its inaugural year. Vancouver traded him back to Montreal the following season for Didier Pitre. In 1915, Lalonde held out in contract negotiations, only playing six games, but aside from that, he remained with the Canadiens for the next ten years, winning the NHA scoring title again in 1916 and captaining the Canadiens to his only Stanley Cup victory. Despite his holdout, he was named player-coach of the Canadiens in 1915.

## NHL/WCHL career

Newsy Lalonde played (and scored) in the first NHL game on December 19, 1917, when the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Ottawa Senators, 7–4. He would score in each of the first six NHL games, a mark that would stand unchallenged for the rest of the century.

During the 1919 Stanley Cup playoffs, Lalonde scored seventeen goals in ten games. However, on the day of the sixth game of the finals against the Seattle Metropolitans, Lalonde, owner George Kennedy, Joe Hall, Billy Coutu, Jack McDonald and Louis Berlinguette were hospitalized with influenza, in the wave of the 1918 flu pandemic. Five and a half hours before its start, the game was postponed. With his entire team either hospitalized or confined to bed, Kennedy announced he was forfeiting the game—and the Cup—to the Metropolitans. However, the Metropolitans felt it would be unsporting to accept the trophy under the circumstances, and the sixth game was never played. Hall did not survive.

Thereafter Lalonde had two fine years, but after the Kennedy estate sold the Canadiens to Leo Dandurand, his clashes with the new ownership affected his play to the point where he left the team for four games, and he was relegated to reserve duty amidst the boos of the fans. Saskatoon Crescents' manager Frederick E. Betts sought to sign Lalonde as the team's player-coach for the season, and was willing to buy Lalonde's release pending all other National Hockey League clubs waiving their right to claim Lalonde. Dandurand and Betts later agreed to trade the rights to highly-touted prospect Aurèle Joliat to bring Lalonde to the Crescents. (When Lalonde and Joliat met later that season, Lalonde, unhappy that Joliat was fast becoming a fan favorite in Montreal, got his "revenge" by serving Joliat with a vicious crosscheck to the face).

On a line with future Hall of Famer Bill Cook, Lalonde achieved his final scoring title as playing coach of the Sheiks, although the team had a poor overall record. The next two seasons the team was much improved, but Lalonde himself was finally feeling his age and was no longer an impact player. He scored the final goal of his career on March 2, 1925, against Vancouver. The following season he played three regular season games and two playoff games, the last for the Saskatoon franchise before the Western Hockey League folded.

The following season, 1927, Lalonde was named the head coach of the New York Americans. He played as a substitute for one final game in November 1926 before hanging up his skates permanently. After his retirement, he also served as the head coach of the Ottawa Senators between 1929 and 1931, and of the Canadiens between 1932 and 1935.

## Lacrosse career

Although Lalonde is best-remembered today as a hockey player, he was just as prominent in lacrosse, which in the early years of the 20th century was one of the most popular professional sports in Canada. Lalonde earned more in lacrosse than he did in hockey. He started play in 1905 as a goaltender, but moved to the attack position in 1910, becoming the sport's greatest star. He would break the scoring record for his Montreal team in 1910 with 31 goals. In 1912, he was signed to be player-manager of the Toronto Lacrosse Club, but almost immediately changed his mind and joined the exodus of players heading west for big contracts. He was signed by Con Jones to play for Vancouver for $5,000 for one season. In comparison, as a hockey player, his salary in 1910–11 for the Montreal Canadiens was $1,300, which was considered high for the time. As late as 1920 he could not get more than $2,000 a year playing hockey. Lalonde scored an incredible 66 goals for the Montreal Nationals in 1914.

After coming west in 1909 as a hired-hand with the Regina Capitals to compete against the New Westminster Salmonbellies in their challenge for the Minto Cup, playing as a defenceman, Lalonde then decided to remain in British Columbia when Vancouver Lacrosse Club president Con Jones offered him a fortune of a contract rumoured in the range of $3,500 (or $72,000 in modern currency); this was more than double what he was earning with the Montréal Nationals the previous season. To compete against that perennial powerhouse squad of legends and hated rivals, New Westminster Salmonbellies, Con Jones went out and bought the best player in Canada that money could buy: Newsy Lalonde.

Lalonde would pay off Jones by helping lead Vancouver to three Minto Cup pro championships – in 1911, 1918, and 1920. He played what was back then called the inside home position – basically an attacking forward who played on the crease as the primary threat against the opposing goaltender – and his goal-scoring prowess was critically important to the success of his Vancouver team as Lalonde constantly went up against some of the finest New Westminster goaltenders of the day, stalwarts such as Alex "Sandy" Gray and then later the legendary Alban "Bun" Clark.

During his nine seasons spent playing for the Vancouver Lacrosse Club and Vancouver Terminals, Lalonde finished 11th in overall career games played (2nd with the Vancouver club) and 3rd overall in career goal-scoring with 147 goals in 93 games.

However, what is more impressive is in five of those nine seasons with Vancouver, he led the league in goal-scoring (and in 1911, also in penalties). During a ten-season period from 1910 through 1918, and regardless whether he was playing out west in the professional British Columbia Lacrosse Association with Vancouver or back east in the National Lacrosse Union or Dominion Lacrosse Union with the Montréal Nationals, Lalonde would lead the respective league for goals in all seasons but one.

In an era when lacrosse was notably rough and tumble and players wore no padding, all the while swinging wooden sticks, Lalonde was one never to back down from the toughness aspect of the game. His favourite tactic was to crowd his check and bull his way through opposition. Along with all his goals, the intensely competitive Lalonde also amassed 45 penalties and 356 penalty minutes during his career on the West Coast.

In 1950, he was selected by a panel of Canadian sports journalists as the greatest lacrosse player of the first half of the 20th century. He received an impressive 13 votes compared to his next two challengers, Billy Fitzgerald (6 votes) and Henry Hoobin (5 votes).

As a fitting, final tribute to his career, Lalonde was an obvious choice for the initial inductees to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1965 in the "field player" category.

## Legacy and playing style

> "It’s very simple. All that is necessary is to keep the puck away from him."

Lester Patrick jokingly describes the only way to prevent Lalonde from scoring

A leading scorer for the Canadiens in six years, Lalonde served as captain from 1915 to 1921. He was a member of the first Montreal Canadiens team to win the Stanley Cup in 1916. He was scoring champion seven times in the National Hockey Association, Pacific Coast Hockey Association, National Hockey League and Western Hockey League, an unprecedented feat in the major professional ranks and unsurpassed until Wayne Gretzky's tenth scoring title in 1994. From 1910 to 1954, he held the record for the most regular-season goals scored by a major league hockey player, including his pre-NHL and WCHL totals — 468 goals, a record later broken by Maurice Richard.

Much of Lalonde's production came from his highly accurate snap shot, and his remarkable longevity which allowed him to play a physically aggressive style for upwards of 23 seasons. Lester Patrick, co-founder of the PCHA and then-captain of the Victoria Aristocrats, claimed in 1912 that Lalonde possessed the best shot in hockey: “He shoots every bit as hard as Pitre, and is much more deadly." Up until 1918, Lalonde cleverly used a specific rule of hockey – which stipulated that goaltenders could not drop to their knees to block shots – to complement his superb accuracy. Coming off the right wing or down the centre, he would unleash a “wicked knee-high shot” which would catch the opposing goalie between the glove – or stick – and pad. This shot placement was deliberately done in order to slow down a goalie's reaction time; they were often unable to decide between using their glove hand or blocker hand to deflect or catch the puck, and shuffling to one side or the other to use their pads. Lalonde's snapper was so lethal that opposing coaches would often assign three to four of their own players just to shadow him, and – in one of the earliest iterations of the trap – attempt to pin him into a corner in order to prevent his being able to get into a scoring position. Where Lalonde lacked somewhat was in the speed department, but he made up for it with his head, always thinking ahead of the plays.

> "Why, Hall always starts chewing the rag the minute he sees my face on the ice. I never speak to him until he gets shouting at me half a dozen times and keeps telling me I won't finish the game. Then of course I've got to start something."

Lalonde on his on-ice feud with Joe Hall.

On a more personal level, he was said to have been one of the meanest players of his time, hated by opposition players and even by some of his teammates. As a coach, he once punched one of his players who tried to stand up to him, as a warning to the team that he would not take any back-talk. Before Joe Hall became a teammate of Lalonde on the Montreal Canadiens in 1917–18, when Hall was still a member of the rivaling Quebec Bulldogs in the NHA, the two players had an on-ice feud with each other that lasted over several seasons, often resulting in violent blows between the two players and subsequent stitches to sew up head wounds. Lalonde claimed that the violence was most often provoked by Hall taunting him verbally.

In 1950, Lalonde was named athlete of the half century in lacrosse. He was also elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1950, the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1965, and the Sports Hall of Fame of Canada. He had lit the torch when the Sports Hall of Fame opened in Toronto in August 1955.

In 1998 he was ranked number 32 on *The Hockey News'* list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players, making him the highest-ranking player on the list who had played in a professional league before the founding of the NHL.

Lalonde has the 3rd best points per game total in NHL history at 1.667, trailing only Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky.

# Lybius

***Lybius*** is a genus of African barbets from the family Lybiidae (formerly included in the Capitonidae and sometimes in the Ramphastidae). This genus ranges across sub-Saharan Africa.

## Description

The *Lybius* species are usually about 20–25 cm (7.9–9.8 in) long, plump-looking, with large heads, and their heavy bill is fringed with bristles. Almost all species in this genus are characterized by their red feathers on the head or around the eyes, but there is a great variety of morphology in this genus. There are barbets like the white-headed barbet that have no red on the head at all, and species like the double-toothed barbet with all red feathers on the ventral side of the body and head, but with only black on the dorsal side. Pretty much all species in this genus have striking plumage, consisting of red, black, yellow or white colors. These are also mainly solitary birds that eat fruit, insects and small vertebrates like lizards.

## Taxonomy

The genus *Lybius* was introduced in 1783 by the French naturalist Johann Hermann to accommodate a single species, the black-billed barbet, which is therefore the type species. The genus name is from Ancient Greek *libuos*, an unidentified bird mentioned by Aristotle.

The genus *Lybius* belongs to the order Piciformes, which contains 9 families, including the woodpecker family. A couple of decades ago, all barbets were thought to be of one family, but studies of mitochondrial DNA and DNA hybridization in the early 1990s have led to barbets being split into three families: Asian barbets (Megalaimidae), African barbets (Lybiidae), and American barbets (Capitonidae). The family Lybiidae has a total of 43 species that occur throughout the continent of Africa from the tip of the Cape Peninsula to the fringes of the Sahara desert. Out of the 43 species in this family, *Lybius* contains 7 barbet species. The gneus *Pogonornis*, contains 5 barbet species, was previously included in the genus *Lybius*. These are the most frequently encountered group of African barbets.

### Extant species

The genus contains 7 species:

| Image | Common Name | Scientific name | Distribution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | Banded barbet | *Lybius undatus* | Eritrea and Ethiopia. |
|  | Vieillot's barbet | *Lybius vieilloti* | Senegal to Ethiopia |
|  | White-headed barbet | *Lybius leucocephalus* | Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. |
|  | Chaplin's barbet or Zambian barbet | *Lybius chaplini* | South Central Zambia |
|  | Red-faced barbet | *Lybius rubrifacies* | Burundi, Rwanda, Northwest Tanzania, and Southwest Uganda |
|  | Black-billed barbet | *Lybius guifsobalito* | Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. |
|  | Black-collared barbet | *Lybius torquatus* | Sub-Saharan Africa through Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. |
|

## Bird calls

Most of the *Lybius* species use duetting as a way to mark one's territory and to find a mate. Mates must have coordinating duets in order to be a proper match for each other, which means lone singers are very uncommon in the duetting barbet species. Duet songs are species-specific, and only paired duetting barbets can hold a territory, which is why lone singers are rarely seen. There are four known duetting species in this genus: *Lybius vieilloti*, *L. leucocephalus*, *L. rubrifacies*, and *L. torquatus*. The duetting of *L. chaplini* and *L. undatus* is unknown. The behavioral significance of duetting probably involves sex recognition and the maintenance of a pair bond.

Generally, the barbets in the duet will bow ceremoniously to each other while singing. In addition to bowing, certain African barbet species, like *Lybius vieilloti* and *Lybius torquatus*, will incorporate a snarl into their duet. The snarl might actually be how the duets are initiated in this species. When duetting, each bird will pick up the song from where the other bird left off. The time interval between when one bird ends the duet and when the other bird begins the song again is called the "auditory response time". Basically, the auditory response time is the minimum time required for the barbet to hear the notes and respond to them.

# Smith Memorial Arch

**Smith Memorial Arch** is an American Civil War monument at South Concourse and Lansdowne Drive in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built on the former grounds of the 1876 Centennial Exposition, it serves as a gateway to West Fairmount Park. The Memorial consists of two colossal columns supported by curving, neo-Baroque arches, and adorned with 13 individual portrait sculptures (two equestrians, three figures, and eight busts); two eagles standing on globes; and architectural reliefs of eight allegorical figures.

## History

In 1891, Richard Smith (1821-1894), a wealthy Philadelphia electroplate and type founder, wrote a will that provided $500,000 ($17 million today) for a memorial arch to be adorned with portraits of Pennsylvania's Civil War military and naval heroes. Smith deposited the model and designs for the memorial with the Fidelity Insurance Trust and Safe Deposit Company and stipulated that: Fidelity president John B. Gest handle his request, that the architectural designs and construction be handled by Philadelphia architect James H. Windrim, and that the selection and supervision of sculptors for the specified portraits should be handled by the Fairmount Park Art Association (now the Association for Public Art).

These provisions of the will went into effect upon the death of Smith's wife in 1895. Two years later, the Fairmount Park Art Association began to select the sculptors. The initial commissions were awarded on May 8, 1898, and the final sculpture was installed in 1912.

The estate of Richard and Sarah Smith also funded the creation of Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse, in East Fairmount Park.

# The Book of Mirdad

***The Book of Mirdad*** is an allegorical book of philosophy by Lebanese author Mikha'il Na'ima. The book was first published in Lebanon in 1948 and was initially written in English, with Na'ima later translating it into Arabic. Na'ima initially sought to have the book published in London, where it was rejected for "\[advancing\] a religion with 'a new dogma'".

In 1973 the book was adapted into a three-act play by Padukone Ramanand.

## Synopsis

The book is presented as a series of dialogues between Mirdad, the abbot of a monastery, and his disciples. *The Book of Mirdad* draws on a variety of philosophies, including that of Leo Tolstoy and Sufi Islam. Through the allegories in the book presented by Mirdad, Na'ima presents several themes and calls for the unity of different people groups in universal love, as well as criticizing materialism and empty religious rituals.

Mirdad's dialogs gives out teachings which show us how it is possible to transform our consciousness and uncover the God within, by dissolving our sense of duality.

## Reception

A reviewer for *Philosophy East and West* praised the book, citing Na'ima's "power of enthusiasm and persuasion" as a highlight. The Indian mystic Osho mentioned *The Book of Mirdad* in his book *A Song Without Words*, saying that it "can be of immense help if you don't expect, and it is a book worth reading thousands of times." Osho has also mentioned that this book is the only book that has been successful in being written and if one fails to understand it, the failure is that of the reader and not the author’s.

The book has been compared to John Bunyan's *The Pilgrim's Progress* in that both stories are largely allegorical. *The Book of Mirdad* has also been compared to Ameen Rihani's *The Book of Khalid*, with the book being believed to have had an influence on Na'ima's writings. Na'ima has described the work as the "pinnacle of his thought and a summary of his view of life".

# North Macedonia–Taiwan relations

The **North Macedonia–Taiwan relations** refers to the bilateral relations between North Macedonia and Taiwan. Diplomatic relations were established in 1999, but were severed in 2001.

China was strongly dissatisfied with the official relations between Macedonia and Taiwan, and has adopted diplomatic punishments for Macedonia by severing diplomatic relations and using the UN veto power respectively.

## History

### Initial contact

The relationship began in the late 1990s with Taiwan's aid program for Kosovo, when Lee Teng-hui announced in 1998 that he would provide $300 million to help rebuild Kosovo after the war. Taiwan's R.O.C. government hired Ambassador-at-Large Chiu Hungdah, Jeffrey Koo Sr., and Gene Loh I-Cheng to prepare the aid program.

The initial plan of Lee Teng-hui's administration is that Taiwan's only diplomatic relations in Europe are with the Holy See, Macedonia is the first beachhead, and if diplomatic relations are established with it, it is possible to extend diplomacy to Kosovo and even Albania. Executive Yuan President Siew Wan-chang led a delegation to Macedonia, along with five legislators, to begin the visit.

The Macedonian constitution is a cabinet system. The then Prime Minister of Macedonia, Ljubco Georgievski, was only 33 years old. Georgievski had heard of Taiwan miracle when he lived in the United States and was interested in establishing diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Jevski and the main VMRO-DPMNE party disagreed and formed another VMNO-NP party, and even restored Bulgarian nationality and moved to Sofia, reflecting the multi-ethnic character of the Balkan Peninsula.

On August 5, 1998, Ambassador-at-Large Gene Loh I-Cheng was going to travel to Pristina first, but the exposure of US$300 million in aid in the Taiwanese media caused discontent among some European countries. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops stationed in Kosovo were unwilling to open the border to Taiwanese, and the Macedonia government was unable to send troops to protect the Taiwan delegation outside the country, so the trip was temporarily canceled.

### Establishment of diplomatic relations

Before Macedonia's 1998 parliamentary elections, Vasil Tupurkovski presented a political proposal that Macedonia would receive an economic recovery plan. An unknown foreign partner would donate $1 billion and create 120,000 jobs directly to Macedonia after he won the election. This was later considered by public opinion to be the main reason why the $1 billion foreign aid pledge helped Tupelkovsky and Georgievski win the election.

Ljubco Georgievski's rightist party VMRO-DPMNE had numerical doubts about Tupurkovski's $1 billion, but nevertheless trusted in the economic promises to form a coalition government with the left-wing Democratic Alternative (DA). However, it was a weak coalition to begin with.

It was only when Tupurkovski visited Taipei in 1998 that the "$1 billion" foreign partner was revealed to be Taiwan. The press reported that Macedonia would recognize Taiwan's political independence and establish diplomatic relations.

On January 27, 1999, Macedonian Foreign Minister Aleksandar Dimitrov and Taiwanese Foreign Minister Jason Hu signed a communiqué establishing diplomatic relations. Although Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov was pro-China and opposed the establishment of diplomatic relations with Taiwan, the Macedonian parliament passed the proposal of establishment of diplomatic ties on February 12.

The Taiwan's foreign ministry said that since the abolition of the ROC embassy in Portugal, only the Vatican remains in Europe, and Macedonia is the first new diplomatic partner in Europe in 24 years. In the Euro, the European Union is becoming increasingly influential and it is important to promote European diplomacy. Macedon's foreign minister said that Macedon is still mainly an agricultural country with low income and high unemployment rate, and hopes to learn from Taiwan's experience to develop from an agricultural to an industrial country.

China severed diplomatic ties with Macedonia on February 9, 1999, and threatened to use the UN's veto power. On February 25, China launched diplomatic retaliation and opposed the continued dispatch of intervention forces to Macedonia in a UN resolution, the fifth time Beijing has used a veto in the Security Council.

Relations were severed in 2001 after the fall of Macedonia's pro-Taiwan cabinet. Macedonia was the first new Eastern European ally in the 1990s and the first European country to sign a formal military agreement with Taiwan.

### Unofficial relations

In 2023, the Taiwanese tech supplier Yageo and the North Macedonia government announced a major investment in North Macedonia.

Since its formation, the band has consisted of siblings Nikos Gerostathos (drums) and Yannis Gerostathos (guitar), and Paris Fragkos (bass guitar and production). Yannis Artzoglou (guitar) joined the trio later on.

## History

The Gerostathos siblings grew up in the city of Serres, in Northern Greece, but spent several years as students in Rethymno, on the island of Crete. This is where Tuber originally formed as a duet which was joined by Paris Fragkos, when they returned to Serres, upon completion of their studies. Their first recording as a trio was produced in Fragkos' own studio and production company, Parallel Universe, in 2010. Three years later, in 2013, Yannis Artzoglou joined the then-trio as the fourth member. Their band name 'Tuber' was coincidental, as they ultimately thought it sounded cool, after randomly browsing on the English dictionary. They play progressive rock music with strong psychedelic and stoner rock tendencies. Although they have considered (and attempted) adding lyrics to their music, their decision to produce strictly instrumental music has been deliberate, as they preferred that their (and their audience's) focus to be on the music rather than words. They have described their creation process as starting off with a beat and building on it, rather than jamming. Tuber have referenced, among others, Pearl Jam's "Ten", Mogwai's "Mr Beast", and the Wipers' "Over the edge", along with Michael Jackson, John Frusciante, Josh Homme and Kurt Cobain, as musicians and music works that influenced their personal music tastes as well as the band's subsequent music identity. They were one of the bands featured in the videographer Miguel Angel Cano Santizo's 2019 documentary 'Greek Rock Revolution'. In 2020, they also contributed to a 160-track bandcamp compilation, standing in solidarity to the refugees affected by the Moria refugee camp fires, on the Greek island of Lesvos.

## Albums

Their first successful album was *Desert Overcrowded* which was released in 2013. The album's title was based on a reference by Kornilios Kastoriadis describing modern urban societies. In 2017, Tuber released *Out of the Blue*.

# The Cross (band)

**The Cross** were an English rock band formed in 1987 by Queen drummer Roger Taylor.

They released three studio albums before splitting up in 1993. In contrast to Queen and other outside projects, Taylor fronted the band and played rhythm guitar instead of drums. On their debut album, which was mostly recorded by Taylor before recruiting the rest of the band, they incorporated dance influences (similar to Queen's 1982 album *Hot Space*) which were dropped on subsequent albums.

## History

Taylor formed the Cross while Queen were on break after the Magic Tour in mid 1987. He recruited Queen's tour keyboardist, Spike Edney, but advertised for the remaining musicians who were, when the band was formed, guitarist Clayton Moss, bassist Peter Noone, and drummer Josh Macrae.

The band's albums and singles were not commercially successful, although they did manage to reach the UK Albums Chart with several and they enjoyed moderate success in Germany. The first album, *Shove It*, was released on Virgin Records in 1987. Largely a solo project for Taylor, who had written the songs prior to forming the band, the album and the three singles it spawned did reach the charts in the UK, where it also received some positive press. The band toured in support of the album before Taylor took a short break for the 1989 Queen album *The Miracle*, for which there was no tour.

### First album: *Shove It*

After Queen's 1986 Magic Tour, the band members went their separate ways to do various solo work. Taylor decided to form a new band with which he could tour. He had already written and recorded the album himself before finding a band to play the songs with. He eventually placed an advertisement for band members in a national newspaper, hinting he was a famous rock musician. The position of keyboard player was filled by Spike Edney, who had worked with Taylor on two tours with Queen. When the auditions were over, the line-up was completed by Peter Noone on bass, Clayton Moss on guitar, and Josh Macrae on drums.

The first album, *Shove It*, was released in 1988. Two tracks featured fellow Queen band members: the track "Heaven for Everyone" featured vocals by Freddie Mercury (backing vocals on the American version of the album, lead vocals on the European edition), while "Love Lies Bleeding (She Was A Wicked, Wily Waitress)" featured Brian May on guitar. The European CD contained an extra track (compared to cassette and LP) in The 2nd Shelf Mix, the US version having "Feel The Force" as its extra track. The band promoted hard in Germany especially, with many TV performances of singles including an appearance at the Montreux Golden Rose festival in 1988. The tour took in dates in the UK and Germany. Three singles were released from the album: "Cowboys and Indians", "Heaven for Everyone" and "Shove It". Another single, "Manipulator," was released in 1988, but it was not included on any album. It was also the only song from the time that had joint writing credits, Taylor sharing them with Spike Edney and Steve Strange.

The second single from *Shove It*, "Heaven for Everyone", was re-released by the remaining members of Queen, using Freddie Mercury's lead vocal take from the *Shove It* sessions. It was released as the lead single from the 1995 album *Made in Heaven* and went on to become a major hit in several countries.

### Second album: *Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know*

After finishing Queen's 1989 album *The Miracle*, Taylor went into the studio with the rest of the Cross for the first time to record *Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know*. The band composed the opening track "Top Of The World Ma". The rest of the album consisted mainly of individually written songs, except for "Power To Love" which was a joint venture by Macrae, Noone and Moss. Clayton Moss sang lead vocals on his own track "Better Things", and Spike Edney played mandolin on "Final Destination", which was written by Taylor. "Final Destination" was released as a single, as were "Liar" and "Power To Love", the latter being the last single to be released in the UK by the group. "Final Destination" came with a live rendition of Taylor's song "Man On Fire" as a B-side, and "Liar" (Noone) had a brand new track, "In Charge Of My Heart", which was also penned by Taylor. The 12" single and CD of "Liar" also included extended remixes of both "Liar" and "In Charge Of My Heart". The instrumental section at the beginning of "In Charge Of My Heart" was used as the opening to concerts on the accompanying tour. "Closer To You" (Edney) had been planned to be released in America, but the idea was never discussed again. The group having seemingly given up on the UK market, the accompanying tour only included dates in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ibiza. Unusual for such tours, every song from the new album was played live.

### Third album: *Blue Rock*

Made at a time when Taylor's efforts were concentrated on Queen, *Blue Rock* gave the other members of the band a chance to take control of the upcoming album. It was largely written by Edney, who contributed three of his own tracks and contributed to four more. Once again, the opening track was penned by the entire band, "Bad Attitude" was written (although not complete) by the Christmas fan club party of 1990. *Blue Rock* was only released in Germany (although promo copies were released in Italy and Japan). "New Dark Ages" (Taylor) was released in Germany with another live version of "Man On Fire", whilst "Life Changes" was released with the B-side "Heartland". It was however immediately withdrawn, due to the death of Freddie Mercury. The tour was in support of Magnum, so the concert lengths were short (45 mins.) and very few bootlegs survived. The tour was rapid, covering 20 dates in one month.

EMI Records refused to release a third album by the band. However, as the band had enjoyed moderate success in Germany, EMI's German branch EMI Electrola still released their third effort, *Blue Rock* (1991), in that country.

### Break up

The band broke up in 1993 after performing a final show. Taylor continued working with Queen and produced solo albums. Drummer Macrae accompanied Taylor on his solo tours and also played percussion at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Both Taylor and keyboardist Edney participated in the Queen + Paul Rodgers tours, while Macrae worked behind the scenes as a sound engineer and Pro Tools engineer for them. In the late 1990s, Edney formed the SAS Band ("Spike's All Stars"), a group with an ever-changing line-up of 1980s rock stars.

### 2013 reunion concert

It was announced on Spike Edney's Facebook page on 23 July 2013 that The Cross would reunite for one night only at G Live, Guildford, on 7 December, some 20 years after their official break-up.
