***Mademoiselle chante...*** is a studio album released in 1988 by the French singer Patricia Kaas. It was her debut album and was preceded by the hit singles "Mademoiselle chante le blues", Kaas' signature song, and "D'Allemagne". The album has sold three million copies.

## Background

Thanks to her first single, "Jalouse", produced by Gérard Depardieu, Kaas caught the attention of the French singer and songwriter Didier Barbelivien. The song "Mademoiselle chante le blues" (Eng: "Lady sings the blues") penned by Barbelivien was released in 1987 by Polydor and became Kaas' breakout single reaching number 7 on the French SNEP Singles Chart. The following year, Kaas' second single "D'Allemagne" (Eng: "From Germany") was released, written by Barbelivien and Bernheim. It enjoyed moderate success, peaking at number 11 on the chart.

Shortly afterwards, Kaas' first album *Mademoiselle chante...* was produced. All tracks on the album, except "Venus des abribus", were written by Barbelivien. Three other singles from this album were successful in France : "Mon mec à moi" (No. 5), "Elle voulait jouer cabaret" (No. 17) and "Quand Jimmy dit" (No. 10).

The three top ten singles were certified silver selling than 200,000 copies each.

It was Kaas' only studio album released by Polydor (her subsequent albums were released by Sony and Columbia).

## Chart performances

The album went to #19 on December 4, 1988, reached the top ten one month after, and peaked #2 in the French album charts, staying there for two not consecutive months. It remained in the top ten for a total of 64 weeks and 118 weeks in the top 100. It disappeared from it after the chart edition of July 18, 1991. Shortly after its debut, the album went gold in France for a minimum of 100,000 sales, and after three months it went platinum (over 350,000 sold), and finally diamond in 1990.

The album was also certified platinum in Belgium and double platinum Switzerland, and gold in Canada. Altogether *Mademoiselle chante...* has currently sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. In the same year Kaas won Victoires de la Musique in the category of 'Discovery of the Year', one of the most important French music awards.

# The Long Excuse

***The Long Excuse*** (永い言い訳) is a 2016 Japanese drama film directed by Miwa Nishikawa, starring Masahiro Motoki. It depicts the well-being and uncertainty of relationships through how people who suddenly lose their families restore their lives.

## Plot

Sachio (Masahiro Motoki) is a noted celebrity writer from the country, who has snobbishly dismissed his background and become somewhat arrogant. He has largely fallen out of love with his wife Natsuko (Eri Fukatsu), a hairdresser. When she dies in a bus crash, he is in bed with his mistress. Despite this, he feels no guilt, which disgusts his mistress, who, already racked with guilt, leaves him.

Sachio's wife was travelling on the bus with her friend Yuki (Keiko Horiuchi), who also died in the crash. He is contacted by her husband Yoichi Omiya, a truck driver who, with his wife's death, has been left to look after two small children and is not coping. Sachio offers to help, and assists with the raising of the children. When doing it, he ponders his own lack of grief for his wife, and realises that he is dealing with his own guilt by looking after the children. Sachio is forced to reevaluate his own life, including why he didn't have children of his own.

Yoichi too finds that he had become somewhat detached from his children. When Yoichi finds a new partner, Sachio has to leave the children. He ends up writing a new book about the experience, and plays an unexpected role in the children's lives, eventually finding some closure for the loss of his wife.

# Pompeia (daughter of Sextus Pompeius)

**Pompeia Magna** (about 42 BC - ?) was the daughter and only child of political rebel Sextus Pompey and Scribonia. Pompeia was the only child born to the sons of triumvir Pompey.

## Biography

In 39 BC, at the peace of Misenum, Sextus Pompey had betrothed Pompeia to Marcus Claudius Marcellus, the nephew to the heir of Roman Dictator Julius Caesar, Octavian, and a son to Octavian's elder sister Octavia Minor. Pompeia and Marcellus in the end never married. She accompanied her father as they fled into Anatolia in 36 BC. After this moment, Pompeia is not mentioned again in Roman sources.

In the past it was commonly held based on speculation that she had married her maternal uncle Libo, but this has been largely rejected by modern scholars.

It was discovered in 1968 when two botanists from a local sub-committee of the International Biological Program surveyed Manitoba for native prairie plant communities. Of more than 60 sites that were researched, only four were found uncultivated. One of the largest undisturbed sites was discovered in a residential area of Winnipeg. Today a vestige of this original prairie community has been set aside as a City of Winnipeg Nature Park, called the Living Prairie Museum. The Living Prairie Museum is home to over 160 species of prairie grasses and wildflowers, as well as a great array of prairie wildlife. In Manitoba only 1/20 of 1% of original tall grass prairie remains. The Living Prairie Museum is one of the few preserves of this once vast ecosystem.

The museum has an interpretative centre with displays on prairie history and ecology as well as an interactive art installation by Winnipeg artist Collin Zipp, titled *lost\_landscape*.

## History

The City of St. James-Assiniboia set aside set aside 26.5 acres (10.7 ha) of virgin land untouched by urban development in Assiniboia, Manitoba, a suburb of Winnipeg to create the Living Prairie Museum in 1970. Preserving the land, it was projected to cost $90,000 over the 1970-1980/82 time period to maintain the space. The Report to St. James-Assiniboia Council at the time said:

> The importance of the St. James prairie as a sample of original vegetation can hardly be over-emphasized. More than 125 plant species have already been found on the site, and it is probable that others occur.
>
> Many of these are endangered species in Manitoba, for each year many natural areas disappear through agriculture and urbanization.
>
> Because of its location within the city this area offers an unusual for young and old to enjoy a natural remnant of our heritage.

In 1973 an interpretive centre was approved by Winnipeg Council, who agreed to pay $50,000 (25% of the cost) of the 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) and would be counted as a Centennial project. A sod turning ceremony, attended by new Governor General Jules Leger took place in late April 1974. The Interpretive Centre was opened on June 23, 1976.

A year later, a group of residents lobbied to have an additional 50–100 acres (20–40 ha), at the time zoned as Industrial, be added to the Living Prairie Museum.

In the 1960s Metro planned the Western Freeway to cut through the Living Prairie Museum. Residents suggested it be built further north, before the project was cancelled.

text:
# Panair do Brasil Flight 099

The **Panair do Brasil Flight 099** was a flight that suffered a serious air accident on July 28, 1950.

## Aircraft

The Lockheed Constellation, serial number 2062, was manufactured in mid-1945 at the Burbank plant in California. The aircraft, which had been ordered by Pan American World Airways and was to receive the registration NC88862, in fact, did not serve the American company. It was sent to Panair do Brasil (at the time controlled by Pan Am but already in the process of transferring shares to Brazilian controllers), where it received the prefix PP-PCG. It inaugurated the Brazil-Italy Flight on October 3, 1946, between Rio de Janeiro and Rome with stops in Recife, Dakar, and Lisbon, covering 5,339 miles in 24 hours.

## Accident

Panair do Brasil Flight 099 took off from Galeão Air Base at 15:47, six hours before the scheduled departure time, due to a defect in one of the aircraft's engines, which had to be replaced and tested in an inspection flight. The landing was to take place at Canoas Air Base (then known as Gravataí Air Base) on the outskirts of Porto Alegre at 18:40.

The Constellation with the prefix PP-PCG carried 44 passengers (many of whom were on vacation in Rio de Janeiro, which had hosted the 1950 World Cup) and 6 crew members, piloted by Commander Eduardo Martins de Oliveira (about to complete 10,000 flight hours in his career, he was known as "Comandante Edu," one of the founders and standard-bearers of the famous "Clube dos Cafajestes").

According to weather reports, there was a stationary cold front between Porto Alegre and Florianópolis, causing heavy turbulence and light rain in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.

After some delay on the route, caused by unfavorable weather conditions, the Constellation began the approach procedures to land at Canoas Air Base at 18:45. However, the landing was aborted, followed by a go-around. During the second landing attempt, contact with the tower was lost, followed by another go-around. Subsequently, the Constellation crashed into Morro do Chapéu (currently located between the municipalities of Gravataí and Sapucaia do Sul) around 19:25, exploding shortly after.

The explosion caused a fire in the area two hours later.

Due to the difficult access to the area, rescue teams took two hours to reach the wreckage, finding all crew and passengers dead. The work of removing the bodies and clearing the area, commanded by then-Colonel Olímpio Mourão Filho, took several days due to the extent of the area covered by the debris.

## Aftermath

At the time of the accident, many flights were directed to Canoas Air Base because it had long, paved runways capable of accommodating large aircraft like the Constellation, but it operated only under visual conditions. In contrast, the São João airfield, located in Porto Alegre, had instruments to facilitate landings but did not have paved runways.

The shock generated by the disaster was such that the São João Airfield was renamed Salgado Filho Airport, and the improvement works that had been halted during World War II were resumed. As a result, Salgado Filho Airport was equipped with a new passenger terminal and paved runways, eliminating the difficulties of operating large aircraft.

It was then considered the worst air accident in Brazil.

Two days after the incident, politician Joaquim Pedro Salgado Filho died in another air accident in Rio Grande do Sul, having not boarded Flight 099 due to a lack of seats.

Composers Fernando Lobo and Paulo Soledade wrote the song "Zum-zum," in honor of "Comandante Edu," performed by Dalva de Oliveira at the 1951 Carnival.

# The Love Master (film)

***The Love Master*** is a 1924 American silent family drama film starring canine star Strongheart and actress Lillian Rich, directed by Laurence Trimble. The film survives in a French archive.

## Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Sally, an attractive young woman, is the only white woman in the isolated northern settlement. David, a young clerk in her uncle's general store, loves her and is worthy of her. Jean Le Roy, a dishonest fur trader, hopes to win her. When David falls ill from overwork and anxiety, she nurses him back to health. She also helps him win the yearly dog race, which gives him sufficient money to marry her and return with her to the United States. The canine story involving Strongheart and his mate generally follows that of the human couple, often with the dogs mimicking their gestures.

# Politics of Guinea-Bissau

The **politics of Guinea-Bissau** take place in a framework of a semi-presidential representative democratic republic, with a multi-party system, wherein the President is head of state and the Prime Minister is head of government. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National People's Assembly.

Since 1994, the Bissau-Guinean party system has been dominated by the socialist African Independence Party of Guinea and Cape Verde and the Party for Social Renewal. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.

Despite the democratic, constitutional framework, the military has exercised substantial power, and has interfered repeatedly in civilian leadership since multi-party elections were instituted in 1994. In the past 16 years, Guinea-Bissau has experienced two coups, a civil war, an attempted coup, and a presidential assassination by the military. Since the country's independence in 1974, only one president successfully completed his five-year term, José Mário Vaz.

## Political developments

In 1989, the ruling African Independence Party of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), under the direction of President João Bernardo "Nino" Vieira, began to outline a political liberalization program which the People's National Assembly approved in 1991. Reforms that paved the way for multi-party democracy included the repeal of articles of the constitution, which had enshrined the leading role of the PAIGC. Laws were ratified to allow the formation of other political parties, a free press, and independent trade unions with the right to strike.

Guinea-Bissau's first multi-party elections for president and parliament were held in 1994. Following the 1998-99 civil war, presidential and legislative elections were again held, bringing opposition leader Kumba Ialá and his Party for Social Renewal to power. Ialá was ousted in a bloodless coup in September 2003, and Henrique Rosa was sworn in as president.

Former president Viera was once again elected as president in July 2005. The government of Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Júnior was elected in March 2004 in a free and fair election, but was replaced by the government of Prime Minister Aristides Gomes, which took office in November 2005. Gomes lost a no-confidence vote and submitted his resignation in March 2007.

Martinho Ndafa Kabi was then nominated as prime minister by a coalition composed of the PAIGC, the Social Renewal Party (PRS), and the United Social Democratic Party (PUSD). On April 9, 2007, it was announced that President João Bernardo Vieira had rejected the choice of Kabi, but the coalition said that they maintained him as their choice. Later that day, Vieira appointed Kabi as the new prime minister. Kabi took office on April 13, and his government, composed of 20 ministers (including eight from the PAIGC, eight from the PRS, and two from the PUSD) was named on April 17.

### 2009 assassination

President Viera was killed on March 2, 2009, by soldiers as retaliation for the killing of the head of the joint chiefs of staff, General Tagme Na Waie, who was murdered the previous day.

### 2010 military unrest

Prior to the 2008 election, a decision to change the electoral date and extend the parliamentary mandate resulted in major controversy when Assembly deputies snubbed the president and chose to extend their mandate. After the Supreme Court annulled that law, President Vieira dissolved the Assembly, thus allowing the standing committee to continue working, and appointed a new government composed of loyalists.

Rear Admiral Bubo Na Tchuto tried to organize a coup on August 7, 2008, but the attempt was put down. Na Tchuto managed to escape the country. The attempted coup added to instability ahead of parliamentary elections. Gambia subsequently arrested Na Tchuto. He later returned to Guinea-Bissau disguised as a fisherman, and took refuge at a UN compound. Although the UN agreed to surrender him to the government, Na Tchuto continued to reside in the compound. As a result of his return, security in the country was tightened, contributing to uncertainty and instability.

On April 1, 2010, soldiers entered UN offices and arrested Na Tchuto. The same day, more soldiers entered Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Júnior's residence and detained him on the premises. Simultaneously, forty military officers, including Zamora Induta, head of Guinea-Bissau's armed forces, were confined at an army base. Hundreds of the PM's supporters demanded his release. In response, the deputy army chief, Antonio Indjai, said: "If the people continue to go out into the streets to show their support for Carlos Gomes Junior, then I will kill Carlos Gomes Junior ... or I will send someone to kill him."

The following day, the prime minister was taken to meet with the president where the president said: "I will not resign because I was democratically elected. I consider what happened on Thursday as an incident. The situation is now stable. I can assure you that institutions will return to their normal functions." The UN secretary general and other international powers condemned the move, while government ministers issued a statement saying "Members of government expressed their support and their attachment to the prime minister, and firmly condemned the use of force as a means to resolve problems." Tensions seemingly calmed, with President Sanha saying the coup attempt was "a confusion between soldiers that reached the government", and the UN Secretary General spoke about the PM's "detention and subsequent release." Nevertheless, while members of the cabinet and the international community condemned the attempted coup and talked about the PM's release, reports still indicated that "renegade soldiers" had the prime minister "under guard."

### 2011 attempted coup

After Army chief of staff General Antonio Indjai was reported arrested by the orders of navy chief Rear Admiral Jose Americo Bubo Na Tchuto, his troops freed him as Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Júnior sought political asylum at the Angolan embassy. Indjai then said that his naval counterpart had been arrested. These events occurred while President Sanha had been in Paris, France for medical care.

### 2012 coup

On 12 April 2012, the military took over the central district of the capital. On 16 April, military leaders and a coalition of political parties announced the formation of a Transitional National Council, under international pressure.

### 2019 Disputed Election

Presidential elections were held in Guinea-Bissau on 24 November 2019.

In the first round of voting, Domingos Simões Pereira led the field, with 40.13% of the vote. Incumbent president José Mário Vaz finished fourth in the first round of voting, failing to progress to the runoff. According to the preliminary and final results published by the national commission of elections, Umaro Sissoco Embaló won the runoff vote against Simões Pereira, 54% to 46%. Simões Pereira continues to dispute the results. Although neither the supreme court of Guinea-Bissau nor the parliament had given its approval for the official swearing-in ceremony, Sissoco Embaló had organized an alternative swearing-in ceremony in a hotel in Bissau to announce himself as legal president of Guinea-Bissau. Several politicians in Guinea-Bissau, including prime minister Aristides Gomes, accused Sissoco Embaló of arranging a Coup d'état, although outgoing president Mário Vaz stepped down to allow Embaló to take power.

Jose Mario Vaz was the President of Guinea-Bissau from 2014 until the 2019 presidential elections. For two decades Jose Mario Vaz was the first elected president who finished his five-year mandate. Umaro Sissoco Embaló was the winner of the election and he took office in February 2020. However he faced a last-minute stand-off with parliament before taking office. Embaló is the first president to be elected without the backing of the PAIGC. On 11 September 2024, President Umaro Sissoco Embaló announced that he would not seek a second term in the upcoming presidential elections scheduled for November 2025.

# Mellow Mood (band)

**Mellow Mood** is an Italian reggae band from Pordenone, Italy that formed in 2005.

## History

Mellow Mood first formed in 2005 when most members were in high school together, led by twins Jacopo and Lorenzo Garzia.

The band officially debuted in 2009 with their first studio album, *Move!*, produced by Paolo Baldini, who was later to become their sound architect. The album was intended to be their first "move" on the reggae scene and gained unexpected international success. Thanks to their heartfelt live shows, Rototom Sunsplash named Mellow Mood "best Italian reggae band", and ranked them third at European level in the same year. The two singles off the album, "Only You" and "Dance Inna Babylon", now have a total of more than fifty million views on YouTube.

After a line-up change, Mellow Mood went back into the studio with Baldini to record *Well Well Well*, and were signed by Italy's most important independent label, La Tempesta, in 2012. Sailing through roots-reggae, rocksteady and tribal clubbing, Mellow Mood proved to be among the protagonists of a new generation of reggae artists hailing from all over the world. A major European tour followed and led the band to play in 12 countries, performing at important festivals like Rototom Sunsplash, Sziget Festival, and Reggae Camp.

Mellow Mood then released two albums, *Twinz* and *2 The World* in 2014 and 2015 respectively. Produced by Paolo Baldini and published by La Tempesta, the albums are enriched by international collaborations (Tanya Stephens, Jah9, Richie Campbell, Hempress Sativa, Sr. Wilson, Forelock, and KG Man, among others) and couple the rediscovery of roots music with a deeper knowledge of the most recent Jamaican sounds.

In late 2015, Mellow Mood also celebrated the birth of their own sub-label, La Tempesta Dub (to release the band's future works) with a touring mini-festival featuring international guests.

Mellow Mood kept busy touring Europe and America intensively in 2016 and 2017, performing at many of the most important reggae events of both continents.

In 2020, Mellow Mood was one of many reggae bands that were featured on Collie Buddz *Cali Roots Riddim 2020* album, which included their song "Unstoppable".

Mellow Mood was featured on Fortunate Youth's 2021 single, "Around The World".

# Paley construction

In mathematics, the **Paley construction** is a method for constructing Hadamard matrices using finite fields. The construction was described in 1933 by the English mathematician Raymond Paley.

The Paley construction uses quadratic residues in a finite field GF(*q*) where *q* is a power of an odd prime number. There are two versions of the construction depending on whether *q* is congruent to 1 or 3 modulo 4.

## Quadratic character and Jacobsthal matrix

Let *q* be a power of an odd prime. In the finite field GF(*q*) the quadratic character χ(*a*) indicates whether the element *a* is zero, a non-zero square, or a non-square:

$$\chi (a)={\begin{cases}0&{\text{if }a=0\\1&{\text{if }a=b^{2}{\text{ for some non-zero }b\in \mathrm {GF} (q)\\\-1&{\text{if }a{\text{ is not the square of any element in }\mathrm {GF} (q).\end{cases}}}}}}}$$

For example, in GF(7) the non-zero squares are 1 = 12 = 62, 4 = 22 = 52, and 2 = 32 = 42. Hence χ(0) = 0, χ(1) = χ(2) = χ(4) = 1, and χ(3) = χ(5) = χ(6) = −1.

The Jacobsthal matrix *Q* for GF(*q*) is the *q*×*q* matrix with rows and columns indexed by elements of GF(*q*) such that the entry in row *a* and column *b* is χ(*a*  *b*). For example, in GF(7), if the rows and columns of the Jacobsthal matrix are indexed by the field elements 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, then

$$Q={\begin{bmatrix}0&-1&-1&1&-1&1&1\\1&0&-1&-1&1&-1&1\\1&1&0&-1&-1&1&-1\\\-1&1&1&0&-1&-1&1\\1&-1&1&1&0&-1&-1\\\-1&1&-1&1&1&0&-1\\\-1&-1&1&-1&1&1&0\end{bmatrix}.}$$

The Jacobsthal matrix has the properties *QQ*T = *qI*  *J* and *QJ* = *JQ* = 0 where *I* is the *q*×*q* identity matrix and *J* is the *q*×*q* all 1 matrix. If *q* is congruent to 1 mod 4 then −1 is a square in GF(*q*) which implies that *Q* is a symmetric matrix. If *q* is congruent to 3 mod 4 then −1 is not a square, and *Q* is a skew-symmetric matrix. When *q* is a prime number and rows and columns are indexed by field elements in the usual 0, 1, 2, … order, *Q* is a circulant matrix. That is, each row is obtained from the row above by cyclic permutation.

## Paley construction I

If *q* is congruent to 3 mod 4 then

$$H=I+{\begin{bmatrix}0&j^{T}\\\-j&Q\end{bmatrix}}$$

is a Hadamard matrix of size *q* + 1. Here *j* is the all-1 column vector of length *q* and *I* is the (*q*+1)×(*q*+1) identity matrix. The matrix *H* is a skew Hadamard matrix, which means it satisfies *H* \+ *H*T = 2*I*.

## Paley construction II

If *q* is congruent to 1 mod 4 then the matrix obtained by replacing all 0 entries in

$$\begin{bmatrix}0&j^{T}\\j&Q\end{bmatrix}$$

with the matrix

$$\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\\-1&-1\end{bmatrix}$$

and all entries ±1 with the matrix

$$\pm {\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}}$$

is a Hadamard matrix of size 2(*q* + 1). It is a symmetric Hadamard matrix.

## Examples

Applying Paley Construction I to the Jacobsthal matrix for GF(7), one produces the 8×8 Hadamard matrix,

$$\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&1&1&1&1&1\\\-1&1&-1&-1&1&-1&1&1\\\-1&1&1&-1&-1&1&-1&1\\\-1&1&1&1&-1&-1&1&-1\\\-1&-1&1&1&1&-1&-1&1\\\-1&1&-1&1&1&1&-1&-1\\\-1&-1&1&-1&1&1&1&-1\\\-1&-1&-1&1&-1&1&1&1\end{bmatrix}.$$

For an example of the Paley II construction when *q* is a prime power rather than a prime number, consider GF(9). This is an extension field of GF(3) obtained by adjoining a root of an irreducible quadratic. Different irreducible quadratics produce equivalent fields. Choosing *x*2+*x*−1 and letting *a* be a root of this polynomial, the nine elements of GF(9) may be written 0, 1, −1, *a*, *a*+1, *a*−1, −*a*, −*a*+1, −*a*−1. The non-zero squares are 1 = (±1)2, −*a*+1 = (±*a*)2, *a*−1 = (±(*a*+1))2, and −1 = (±(*a*−1))2. The Jacobsthal matrix is

$$Q={\begin{bmatrix}0&1&1&-1&-1&1&-1&1&-1\\1&0&1&1&-1&-1&-1&-1&1\\1&1&0&-1&1&-1&1&-1&-1\\\-1&1&-1&0&1&1&-1&-1&1\\\-1&-1&1&1&0&1&1&-1&-1\\1&-1&-1&1&1&0&-1&1&-1\\\-1&-1&1&-1&1&-1&0&1&1\\1&-1&-1&-1&-1&1&1&0&1\\\-1&1&-1&1&-1&-1&1&1&0\end{bmatrix}.}$$

It is a symmetric matrix consisting of nine 3×3 circulant blocks. Paley Construction II produces the symmetric 20×20 Hadamard matrix,

## The Hadamard conjecture

The size of a Hadamard matrix must be 1, 2, or a multiple of 4. The Kronecker product of two Hadamard matrices of sizes *m* and *n* is an Hadamard matrix of size *mn*. By forming Kronecker products of matrices from the Paley construction and the 2×2 matrix,

$$H\_{2}={\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix},}$$

Hadamard matrices of every permissible size up to 100 except for 92 are produced. In his 1933 paper, Paley says “It seems probable that, whenever *m* is divisible by 4, it is possible to construct an orthogonal matrix of order *m* composed of ±1, but the general theorem has every appearance of difficulty.” This appears to be the first published statement of the Hadamard conjecture. A matrix of size 92 was eventually constructed by Baumert, Golomb, and Hall, using a construction due to Williamson combined with a computer search. Currently, Hadamard matrices have been shown to exist for all $m\\,\equiv \\,0\mod 4$ for *m* \< 668.

## Cast

## Release

### Box Office

According to the National Film Finance Corporation, the film made a comfortable profit. According to *Kinematograph Weekly* it was a "money maker" at the British box office in 1955.

### Critical reception

In *British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959* David Quinlan rated the film as "good", writing: "Good, noisy north country comedy. Old jokes notch remarkably high scoring rate."

*The Radio Times Guide to Films* gave the film 3/5 stars, writing: "Although this is an admirable enough comedy, it is also one of those unforgivably patronising pictures that bourgeois British film makers believed presented an authentic picture of working-class life. Arthur Askey stars as a football crazy railway employee whose passion for a team of no-hopers lands him in all sorts of trouble. Struggling against a shortage of genuinely funny situations, the cast does well to keep the action alive. The highlight is Askey's heckling of the referee, a wonderful moment of football hooliganism."

*TV Guide* noted a "highly enjoyable farce."

*Britmovie* called it a "boisterous Lancashire comedy with a rapid succession of old jokes."

**Pipermethystine** is a toxic alkaloid present in the aerial (aboveground) portions of the kava plant. It is not a kavalactone, containing no lactone structure. Correctly prepared kava root products will contain almost no pipermethystine.

## Toxicity

Several studies suggest pipermethystine induces hepatotoxicity in humans, and was first believed to be the cause of liver failure in individuals consuming kava supplements, but not in proper root powder or fresh root, which is consumed in the traditional kava cultures of Polynesia. Later analyses of the implicated drug materials and products revealed that medical kava extracts contain less than 45 ppm of this alkaloid, while the leaves contain about 0.2% (2000 ppm). Based on this retrospective study, pipermethystine is an unlikely cause for the observed hepatotoxicity of commercial kava preparations.

title: Pope Joan (1972 film)

abstract: Pope Joan is a 1972 British historical drama film based on the story of Pope Joan. Even though modern consensus generally considers Pope Joan to be legendary, in the film her existence is treated as fact. It was directed by Michael Anderson and has a cast which includes Liv Ullmann, Olivia de Havilland, Lesley-Anne Down, Franco Nero and Maximilian Schell. The soundtrack was composed by Maurice Jarre with additional choral music provided by The Sistine Chapel Choir, directed by Domenico Bartolucci. The film was released on DVD in 2003 on Region 1 format disc. It was also re-titled in some areas as The Devil's Imposter, with much material cut. The version of the film released in 1972 differed significantly from the version that had originally been filmed. Anderson's original was made with flashbacks and flash-forward sequences about a modern-day Evangelical preacher who believes her life parallels that of Pope Joan. In this version psychiatrists try to send her back through her past lives to establish if she is the reincarnation of Pope Joan. However, the distributor decided to have all of the contemporary sequences removed and released the film as a straightforward historical drama. In 2009, the film was re-edited and the previously unreleased footage set in the 20th century was re-inserted. However, it also cut some of the footage of Joan being pope. It was re-released under the title She… Who Would Be Pope.

## Background

Roger Greenspun summed up the legend in *The New York Times*:

> In some medieval histories of the Roman Catholic Church there was a gap between the pontificates of Leo IV (847‐ 855) and his successor, Benedict III. Possibly to explain this gap, a legend grew up concerning a woman, Joan, born near Mainz, educated in Athens, who went to Rome disguised as a monk and so impressed Leo with her wit and learning that, thinking her a man, he appointed her his secretary and made her a cardinal. Upon his death, she was elected pope. But her pontificate was brief for when the people discovered that she was a woman, they barbarously murdered her outside the Lateran Palace. Although the legend has been discounted by church historians for centuries, it has been the source of several fictional accounts—none, I suspect, weirder than Michael Anderson's *Pope Joan*, which opened yesterday.

## Cast

## Reception

In *The New York Times*, Roger Greenspun wrote:

> Joan's vocation may be to serve God, but her temptation is always to satisfy men. The men show up surely enough — the artistic Benedictine brother Adrian (Maximilian Schell); the fiery Louis, her favorite (Franco Nero), and great grandson, no less, of Charlemagne—and never more regularly than at the convent where Joan passes her adolescent girlhood. It is an outrageous convent, wild despite the efforts of Olivia de Havilland as Mother Superior to keep things ladylike, and its novices might have been penitents from the cast of *Sex Kittens Go to College*...
>
> Like everybody else, I have adored Liv Ullmann in *Persona* and *Hour of the Wolf*. Not even *Pope Joan*, which generally manages to make her look like George Peppard's twin brother, can suppress her grave appeal -- but I think she is being used to provide some Ingmar Bergman eroticism to balance the film's intermittent tone of Hollywood piety.

*Time Out* magazine called the film a "rough and often painfully clumsy costume epic with the usual love story underneath it all, and chauvinistic presumptions abounding. Against all odds, Ullmann gives a remarkable performance, and it could have been a gem of a subject had it been handled by a woman director."

**WS-Policy4MASC** is a policy language for managing Web services and their composition.

## Overview

WS-Policy4MASC extends a widely used industrial standard, WS-Policy, with information necessary for run-time management, including the unique support for autonomic business-driven IT management (BDIM). The specifications of diverse financial and non-financial business value metrics and business strategies that guide business-value driven selection among alternative control (adaptation) actions are the main distinctive characteristics and contributions of WS-Policy4MASC. WS-Policy4MASC also supports other management aspects, such as fault management and maximization of technical QoS metrics. It has built-in constructs for specification of a wide range of adaptations and events common in management of service-oriented systems and business processes they implement.
