# Watashi, Teiji de Kaerimasu

***Watashi, Teiji de Kaerimasu***, subtitled ***No Working After Hours!***, is a 2018 novel by Japanese writer Kaeruko Akeno. The story follows the life of a woman who refuses to follow the working habits of her coworkers and bosses. The book and its sequel were adapted by Satoko Okudera into a 2019 TBS television drama starring Yuriko Yoshitaka that drew international attention for its criticisms of Japanese corporate life.

## Plot

After growing up with a father whose corporate life meant that he did not spend time with his family, office worker Yui Higashiyama decides that she will never work overtime, and regularly leaves work at the official end of the day. This places her in conflict with other employees, who usually stay at work until much later, and with her bosses at the company, who see her refusal to work overtime as a lack of commitment to the company and its clients. Her situation is complicated by the arrival of an ex-boyfriend who joins the company. Higashiyama gradually convinces her fellow workers to go home on time in order to save their health and relationships, but ends up breaking her original commitment, which results in her hospitalization and the demise of her own relationship with her fiancé.

## Publication and reception

During a period of high unemployment, Kaeruko Akeno worked at a "black company" that placed excessive demands on its employees. Her negative experiences and her disapproval of the work habits of career employees inspired the character of Yui Higashiyama. The story was originally serialized in the Shinchosha magazine *Yom yom*. On March 30, 2018, it was published by Shinchosha in a single volume. The *Sankei Shimbun* reviewed the book as an "editor's recommendation", with the editor noting the book's potential to spark conversations about working life among its readers. A sequel, titled *Watashi, Teiji de Kaerimasu HYPER*, was released in 2019.

## Television adaptation

In 2019, the novel and its sequel were adapted by screenwriter Satoko Okudera into a TBS drama starring Yuriko Yoshitaka as Yui Higashiyama. The show's theme song, "Ambitious", was performed by Japanese band Superfly. A review in *The New York Times* called the show a "modest television hit" and noted that it had prompted conversations about work-life balance in Japan, but also observed that the television adaptation had a much more positive ending than the original novel. Writing for *The Japan Times*, reviewer Philip Brasor criticized the show for letting other workplace issues such as gender discrimination and problematic hierarchies distract from the focus on the titular overwork culture. He felt that equivocating instead of confronting it head-on robbed the show of its most potent critiques of the Japanese work environment. A large earthquake in Niigata Prefecture occurred during the show's final episode, leading the broadcast to be suspended halfway through the episode and rescheduled for a later date.

title: Microsoft Notification Protocol

abstract: Microsoft Notification Protocol is an instant messaging protocol developed by Microsoft for use by the Microsoft Messenger service and the instant messaging clients that connect to it, such as Skype since 2014, and the earlier Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, and Microsoft Messenger for Mac. Third-party clients such as Pidgin and Trillian can also communicate using the protocol. MSNP was first used in a publicly available product with the first release of MSN Messenger in 1999.

# Microsoft Notification Protocol

**Microsoft Notification Protocol** (**MSNP**, also known as the **Mobile Status Notification Protocol**) is an instant messaging protocol developed by Microsoft for use by the Microsoft Messenger service and the instant messaging clients that connect to it, such as Skype since 2014, and the earlier Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, and Microsoft Messenger for Mac. Third-party clients such as Pidgin and Trillian can also communicate using the protocol. MSNP was first used in a publicly available product with the first release of MSN Messenger in 1999.

## Technical details

Any major change made to the protocol, such as a new command or syntax changes, results in a version-number incremented by one in the format of MSNP***#***. During October 2003, Microsoft started blocking access to Messenger service using versions below MSNP8.

Starting on September 11, 2007, Microsoft forces most current users of MSN Messenger to upgrade to Windows Live Messenger 8.1 due to security considerations.

## Security concerns

A 2007 analysis of the Microsoft Notification Protocol, which is unencrypted, concluded that its design "did not follow several principles of designing secure systems", resulting in a "plethora of security vulnerabilities"; these vulnerabilities were demonstrated by successfully spoofing a user's identity.

## Version history

### MSNP1

MSNP1 has never been public. It is believed it was used during the early stages of design and development with MSN Messenger 1.

### MSNP2

A pre-release version was made available to developers in 1999 in an Internet Draft. However, the production version differed from the published version in a few subtle ways.

### MSNP3

Both MSNP2 and MSNP3 were supported by MSN Messenger 2.0. MSNP3 was also supported by the first version of the WebTV (MSN TV) Messenger client released in its Summer 2000 upgrade, and introduces a new command specifically for use by those clients  `IMS`  which allows the ability for a client to allow or block new switchboard sessions (chats) with other users at any point while the user is signed in.

### MSNP4 and MSNP5

MSNP3, 4, and 5 were supported by the Messenger servers by July 2000  and used by MSN Messenger 3.0 and 4.0.

### MSNP6 and MSNP7

MSNP6 was used by later versions of MSN Messenger 4.x. In 2002 MSN Messenger 5.0 used MSNP7.

### MSNP8

MSNP8 introduced a different authentication method, now sending authorization to the secure Microsoft Passport servers and returning a challenge string. It was the minimum version of the protocol accepted by .NET Messenger Service after Microsoft blocked earlier versions for security reasons. As such, old and obsolete clients are unable to sign in, forcing users to upgrade clients.

Version 5.0 of MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger versions 4.7 through 5.1 are the only known desktop clients that use MSNP8. MSNP8 was also supported by the Messenger clients in later versions of MSN TV starting at 2.8.1, as well as its successor, the MSN TV 2, and was the last version of MSNP to be supported by MSN TV.

This version of the protocol supports Windows Messenger-to-Windows Messenger webcam and voice capabilities.

### MSNP9

MSNP9 was introduced with MSN Messenger 6, adding support for "D type" (data) messages, which are used for transferring display pictures and custom emoticons between clients, frame-by-frame web cam (rather than a traditional stream like Windows Media Player's WMV format) and an improved voice system, as well as improved NAT traversal for file transfers.

### MSNP10

Employed in MSN Messenger 6.1, after Microsoft started blocking earlier versions in October 2003. However, it was not a big overhaul, the only obvious change was integration with Hotmail address books.

### MSNP11

Employed by MSN Messenger 7.0

### MSNP12

Employed by MSN Messenger 7.5.

### MSNP13

Employed by Windows Live Messenger 8.0, MSNP13 features a lot of changes. Most notably, contact list synchronization has been removed and clients must instead send a SOAP request to a contacts server, also known as "Client goes to ABCH" (where ABCH stands for Address Book Clearing House, the address book service behind all MSN and Windows Live services). The client must then send the contacts data to the server for it to send presence information.

### MSNP14

MSNP14 adds Yahoo! Messenger interoperability.

### MSNP15

MSNP15 is the protocol version introduced with Windows Live Messenger 8.1 on 2006-09-08. It is based on MSNP14 but uses a different authentication mechanism called RPS (Relying Party Suite). Where TWN "Tweener" authentication is used on protocol versions 14 and below, SSO (Single Sign-On; RPS) authentication will be used on protocol versions 15 and above.

In addition to a new authentication mechanism, Microsoft is also planning on making more of the properties of the user roaming. That is, the user's display picture, and in the future personal status messages, will be the same wherever the user signs in.

Furthermore, support for user locations has been added to the Personal Status Message, although this feature was later removed from the Windows Live Messenger 8.1 client.

### MSNP16

MSNP16 is used in a pre-release version of Windows Live Messenger 9.0, leaked in December 2007.

It features "Multiple Points of Presence" (MPOP), the ability to sign in at 2 places at the same time with having chats replicated at all places. The UUX data have been extended to contain Endpoint Data (also MPOP), as well as Signature Sound MSN Object Data.

### MSNP17

MSNP17 is identified by Windows Live Messenger servers on messenger.hotmail.com, but unused by any official client released by Microsoft.

### MSNP18

MSNP18 is used in Windows Live Messenger 2009 (14.0). Its main new addition is the Groups feature, much like persistent grouped conversations. UUX Data have been extended to include Scene image MSN Object data.

### MSNP21

Employed by Windows Live Messenger 2011 (Wave 4) and Windows Live Messenger 2012

### MSNP24

Employed by Skype since early 2014 and was used until April 2019, after which it is no longer used.

## Culture

The Wyoming County Historical Society and Genealogical Library offers a major source of research material. The collection includes numerous books on New England ancestry, newspapers dating back to 1797 and census records for Wyoming and surrounding counties from 1790 to 1930. Also on file are records for over 90 area cemeteries and other local history information.

In 1941 artist Ethel Ashton painted on oil on canvas mural, *Defenders of the Wyoming Country-1778*, for the local post office. It depicted a battle by American settlers and local Native American tribes during the year leading up to Sullivan's March. In 1998, the mural was restored and a documentary was made about it in 2009.

Situated along the Susquehanna River, Tunkhannock was impacted by Hurricane Agnes in June 1972.

Tunkhannock is the home of the Northern Tier Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Conductor Robert Helmacy. Tunkhannock is listed as one of the top 10 places to "get away from it all".

# United Nations Security Council Resolution 1720

**United Nations Security Council Resolution 1720**, adopted unanimously on October 31, 2006, after recalling all previous resolutions on the situation in Western Sahara, including resolutions 1495 (2003), 1541 (2004) and 1675 (2006), the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) for six months until April 30, 2007.

Of the fifteen members of the Security Council, 14 approved a draft resolution that included a provision expressing concern about Moroccan human rights abuses in the occupied territory; only France objected, and thus the paragraph was omitted from the final text. The United States had suggested wrapping up the mission during discussions prior to the adoption of Resolution 1720.

## Resolution

### Observations

The Security Council reaffirmed the need for a durable and mutual solution to the Western Sahara problem, which would provide for the self-determination of the people of the territory. Both Morocco, the Polisario Front and regional states were urged to co-operate with the United Nations to end the political impasse and reach a solution to the long-running dispute.

### Acts

All parties were called upon to respect military agreements reached with MINURSO regarding a ceasefire. Member States were called upon to consider contributing towards confidence-building measures to facilitate greater person-to-person contact, such as family visits. The mandate of MINURSO was extended and the Secretary-General Kofi Annan instructed to report on the situation in Western Sahara. Furthermore, he was also instructed to ensure greater compliance with the zero-tolerance sexual exploitation policy among MINURSO personnel.

title: Punch Line

abstract: Punch Line Punch Line is a Japanese anime television series directed by Yutaka Uemura and produced by MAPPA with scripts by Kotaro Uchikoshi, music by Tetsuya Komuro, and character designs by Shōta Iwasaki. The series aired on Fuji TV's Noitamina block between April 9, 2015, and June 25, 2015, and was simulcast by Crunchyroll. The series is licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks. A video game adaptation developed by 5pb. was released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in 2016 in Japan, and was released in May 2019 in North America and Europe. A manga, titled Punch Line Max, taking place after the anime series, was published by Kadokawa Corporation in Dengeki G's Comic from September 30, 2015, to December 29, 2016, and compiled in two volumes. It was illustrated by Ginichi, and based on an original idea by Uchikoshi. The title "Punch Line" is primarily intended as an oblique reference to the "punch line" of what happens if protagonist Yuta sees too many panties; humanity dies. As well as this, the title is read in Japanese akin to "panty line' and 'panchira', which ties into the series' central focus on panties. The title was also picked to reference the anime's more comical and off-the-wall nature, compared to Uchikoshi's prior work.

## Plot

Yūta Iridatsu lives at the Korai House apartment complex with four girls: Mikatan Narugino, Ito Hikiotani, Meika Daihatsu, and Lovera Chichibu. One day, following a busjacking incident, Yūta finds himself ejected from his own body and becoming a spirit. Guided by the cat spirit Chiranosuke, Yūta must learn to master his spirit powers in order to protect his housemates from the various circumstances they find themselves in. However, if Yūta sees a girl's panties twice in a row within a short amount of time, Earth will be destroyed by a meteor.

## Characters

Yūta Iridatsu (伊里達 遊太, *Iridatsu Yūta*) Voiced by: Marina Inoue The main protagonist. Yūta's soul was separated from his body following the bus hijacking incident. Yūta must search for Sacred Tome of Koraikan in order to return to his physical body. Whenever he sees a girl's panties, he gains a burst of strength known as Über-fy powers, but upon seeing panties twice in succession, Yūta gains too much stimulation and loses consciousness, which somehow results in a meteor destroying Earth, though he can go back in time to prevent that. He has a small amount of spiritual abilities, which increases upon 'levelling up', but can also perform more advanced abilities, such as possession, when there is cinnamon in the vicinity. In episode 7, it is revealed that Yūta was originally a boy named **Pine** (パイン, *Pain*) who ended up switching bodies with a girl named Chiyoko. As such, Yūta is biologically female, with his legal name being Yū Iridatsu (伊里達 遊, *Iridatsu Yū*). "Yūta Iridatsu" is a pun on the phrase "astral projection" (幽体離脱, *yūtai ridatsu*). Mikatan Narugino (成木野 みかたん, *Narugino Mikatan*) Voiced by: Sora Amamiya A member of the idol group "Seas May", who secretly fights crime as the magical girl Strange Juice. Whenever she is flustered or alone, she ends up speaking in the Tsugaru dialect which she picked up in her early childhood. Similar to Yūta, she possesses Uber-fy powers for her crimefighting, but these have a strong side-effect on her body which requires constant medication. It is later revealed that she is **Chiyoko** (ちよ子), whose soul went out of the body Yūta possesses and into the body of Guriko. When the characters in her name are read differently, her name is a pun on the phrase "ally of justice" (正義の味方, *seigi no mikata*). Ito Hikiotani (曳尾谷 愛, *Hikiotani Ito*) Voiced by: Minako Kotobuki A NEET who spends most of her time playing online games and taking care of her pet Muhi, a bear cub. Her name is a pun on the term "HikiOtaNEET" (ヒキオタニート), a portmanteau of hikikomori, otaku, and NEET. Meika Daihatsu (台初 明香, *Daihatsu Meika*) Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya A robot who happens to be the landlady of the apartment all the characters are living in. She is also a genius inventor, and has unrivalled hacking skills. However, she has very poor physical reflexes. She speaks in the Kansai dialect. Her name is a pun on the phrase "great inventor" (大発明家, *Daihatsumei-ka*). She is Pumpkin Chair. Lovera Chichibu (秩父 ラブラ, *Chichibu Rabura*) Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu A gyaru who works as an exorcist. Despite her profession, she does not believe in the existence of spirits. She can be temporarily possessed by Yūta when there is cinnamon in the vicinity. Her name is a pun on "*chichi burabura* " (乳ブラブラ, lit. "breasts dangling"). Chiranosuke (チラ之助, *Chiranosuke*) Voiced by: Yu-ri Yoshida A talking cat spirit who informs Yūta about spirit powers and serves as a guide to get him to save the world. In episode 12, it is revealed that Chiranosuke is a cat that Ito Hikiotani's friend from technical school gave to her. He/she is a chinchilla, which is a type of Persian Cat. Ryūto Teraoka (寺岡 龍都, *Teraoka Ryūto*) Voiced by: Kenji Akabane The leader of the QMay terrorist organisation. He is later revealed to be **Guriko** (ぐり子), whose soul currently possesses Yūta's original body. Chihaya Tomoda (友田 千早, *Tomoda Chihaya*) Voiced by: Jun Oosuka Ito's homeroom teacher, who has a deranged admiration for Ito. Merging with Q-May's spirit, Tomoda becomes a masked soldier, referred to the residents as "Turtle Man" (亀男, *Kame Otoko*), and is able to use Über-fy powers. Kenji Miyazawa (宮沢 賢治, *Miyazawa Kenji*) Voiced by: Marina Inoue A costumed vigilante who shows up out of nowhere and possesses the same Uber-fy powers as Yūta. It is later revealed that this is another version of Yūta, who goes back in time from a previous time loop and possesses his present day body whenever the plan to save the world fails, eventually becoming an identity the present Yūta assumes when he goes back in time. Akina Iridatsu (伊里達 秋奈, *Iridatsu Akina*) Voiced by: Mariko Honda Yūta's foster sister, who found him after he had switched into Chiyoko's body. She is the one who sends Yūta the Kenji Miyazawa costume.

## Media

### Anime

The series was written by Kotaro Uchikoshi *(left)* and scored by Tetsuya Komuro *(right)*.

*Punch Line* was first announced on November 24, 2014. The series is directed by Yutaka Uemura at MAPPA and written by Kotaro Uchikoshi with character design by Shōta Iwasaki and music composed by Tetsuya Komuro. The series aired on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block between April 9, 2015, and June 25, 2015, and was simulcast by Crunchyroll. The opening theme is "Punch Line!" by Shokotan and Denpagumi while the ending theme is "Honey Honey Honey" (蜜蜜蜜) by AyumiKurikaMaki. The series is licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks.

The story was originally conceived under the plot idea of "a ghost who cannot see panties to avoid killing humanity". Uchikoshi explains, "Humanity dies" is like the satirical answer a girl might give you if you asked what'd happen if a boy saw their panties. The concept for the story \[of Punch Line\] essentially started out as a means to set up that whole joke." This central theme was inspired, and centered around, the anime trope of sexual arousal being expressed by nosebleeds: "Nosebleeds in anime is used to comically indicate that blood is rushing to the head, that you're so excited it's hurting you. In Punch Line the joke is that this is taken to the extreme, as the protagonist's excitement doesn't just cause a nosebleed, it causes the apocalypse". While writing the story, Uchikoshi incorporated elements familiar to him in his prior works, particularly *Zero Escape.* Uchikoshi wanted the title of the series to reference both its comical nature, and the central meaning behind its conception. Uchikoshi and Uemura eventually settled on the name "Punch Line", due its similarity to the term "panchira'.

### Video game

A *Punch Line* video game was developed and published by 5pb. for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in 2016 in Japan, and was published by PQube in 2018 in North America and Europe. The game plays as a visual novel adventure game, and expands on the story of the anime, adding new alternative endings. Uchikoshi and Komuro reprise their roles from the anime as writer and composer, respectively, along with the series' voice cast.

# Water chevrotain

The **water chevrotain** (***Hyemoschus aquaticus***), also known as the **fanged deer**, is a small ruminant found in tropical Africa. This is the only species in the genus ***Hyemoschus***. It is the largest of the 10 species of chevrotains, basal even-toed ungulates which are visually similar to deer, but are barely larger than small dogs.

## Description

Unusually for most mammals, female water chevrotains are larger than males. On average, they weigh over 2 kg more than the 10-kg males. Their body length is about 85 cm, and their shoulder height is around 35 cm. Water chevrotains have a rich, sleek, red-brown coat on top, and the underside of the coat is white. On the body is a pattern of white stripes that runs horizontally from the shoulder to the tail, with vertical rows of white stripes in the back. The chin, throat, and chest are covered in very coarse hair with a pattern of white V shapes. The back end of the water chevrotain has many powerful muscles and is higher than the shoulders, which makes the body slope down toward the front. The head is held down toward the ground while walking, which allows the water chevrotain to navigate easily through thickets of dense brush. A layer of thick, reinforced skin is on the dorsal surface, which protects the back from injuries caused by the thick brush. The legs look short and thin compared to the bulky body, and the hooves are similar to a pig's. The tail is short with a fluffy white underside that resembles a cotton ball.

## Distribution and habitat

The water chevrotain is endemic to the tropical regions of Africa. While it primarily lives in the coastal regions, the species can be found from Sierra Leone to western Uganda. They can be found in closed-canopy, moist, tropical lowland forest, and within this habitat, they only occupy areas within close range to streams or rivers. The area is rarely inhabited by the species if it is further than 250 m away from water. During the day, chevrotains cannot be found outside of the dense forest, but at night, they can be observed in exposed clearings and open river banks.

## Behavior

The water chevrotain is exclusively nocturnal, and forages for food in clearings at night. Fallen fruits, such as figs, palm nuts, and breadfruit make up the majority of the water chevrotain's diet, although it has also been known to feed on insects, crabs, and scavenged meat and fish, and is the only species of chevrotain known to do so. It relies on its sense of smell to locate food. During the day, the water chevrotain hides in the dense cover of the African brush. The resting postures of the species include lying down and sitting up. Because they are such a solitary species, the interactions between water chevrotains are only antagonistic and reproductive encounters. Males fight other males, mainly over territory. Their fights are typically short, and in them the two competing males run at each other, mouths open. They poke each other with their muzzles and bite. These aggressive fights are thought to be the reason that mature males normally live no closer than several kilometers apart. The water chevrotain makes several different noises, which include a scream when injured/wounded and an alarm bark. When females fight, they make a high-pitched chattering noise, and when pursuing a female, a male makes a noise through a closed mouth.

## Conservation status

The total population of the water chevrotain species estimated to be around 278,000. The ICUN Red List has given the status least concern to the water chevrotain. Because of its solitary nature, very little about its population in each individual country is known, but recent evidence shows the population is declining in some areas.

title: Tubac, Arizona

abstract: Tubac is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, United States. The population was 1,191 at the 2010 census. The place name "Tubac" is an English borrowing from a Hispanicized form of the O'odham name Cuwak, which translates into English as "place of dark water". When first taken into Spanish speech, it was spelled Tubaca. Finally, over time, the latter "a" was dropped. Tubac is situated on the Santa Cruz River. Tubac was the original Spanish colonial garrison in Arizona. It was depopulated during the O'odham Uprising in the 18th century. During the 19th century, the area was repopulated by miners, farmers and ranchers, but the town of Tubac is best known today as an artists' colony.

# Tubac, Arizona

**Tubac** is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, United States. The population was 1,191 at the 2010 census. The place name "Tubac" is an English borrowing from a Hispanicized form of the O'odham name *Cuwak*, which translates into English as "place of dark water". When first taken into Spanish speech, it was spelled *Tubaca*. Finally, over time, the latter "a" was dropped. Tubac is situated on the Santa Cruz River.

Tubac was the original Spanish colonial garrison in Arizona. It was depopulated during the O'odham Uprising in the 18th century. During the 19th century, the area was repopulated by miners, farmers and ranchers, but the town of Tubac is best known today as an artists' colony.

## History

Established in 1752 as a Spanish presidio, the first Spanish colonial garrison in what is now Arizona, Tubac was one of the stops on the Camino Real (the "Royal Road") from Mexico to the Spanish settlements in California.

Tubac's most famous Spanish resident was Juan Bautista de Anza. While stationed at Tubac (1760–1776), de Anza built the chapel of Santa Gertrudis, the foundations of which lie beneath today's St. Ann's Church.

Apaches attacked the town repeatedly in the 1840s, forcing the Sonoran Mexicans to abandon both Tumacacori and Tubac.

Tubac was the scene of a four-day siege in 1861 among the population of Tubac, Confederate militia, and Apache warriors.

The Confederates won and the Confederate flag used by the headquarters in Richmond was raised. When Union troops then started to approach Tucson, the Confederate troops left Tubac. There the town lay abandoned; grass grew in the streets and the adobe houses crumbled away.

From the 1930s–1960s, Tubac evolved into an art colony. Painter Dale Nichols opened an art school in the small desert village in 1948 and restored some of Tubac's historic buildings. Students included watercolorist Al Romo and sculptor Bob Brisley. In 1955, artist Ross Stefan established a studio in the village. In 1961, the Santa Cruz Valley Art Association was formed with 80 members. This group founded the Tubac Festival of the Arts in 1964. Other significant artists in the Village included Sophie and Harwood Steiger, Hal Empie and Hugh Cabot.

## Education and career

After graduating from Springfield College in 1967 with a degree in history, Picowicz took a master's degree in history from Tufts University in 1968, writing his master's thesis on American relations with China in the Canton Trade. Pickowicz then trained at University of Wisconsin, Madison in modern Chinese intellectual history with Maurice Meisner. He wrote his doctoral thesis on the Marxist intellectual, Qu Qiubai, who was influential in forming leftist literary theory before he was executed by the Nationalist government in 1935. He was awarded a Ph.D. degree in 1973. His book on Qu was published by University of California Press in 1981.

Pickowicz was among a group of American students to travel to the People's Republic of China as a delegation of the Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars in 1971.

After joining the faculty of University of California, San Diego in 1973, he broadened his interests to include local village history. Together with Edward Friedman and Mark Selden, Pickowicz spent several years in a north China village interviewing and observing residents and local officials. Official views in China and many western scholars had seen Mao's revolution as a "peasant revolution, but their two books, *Chinese Village, Socialist State* and *Revolution, Resistance, and Reform in Village China* presented a detailed and dramatic picture of state exploitation. The volumes explained the seeming success of radical village experiments, such as those at Dazhai, by the discovery that the state had given them extensive subsidies.

His interest in the history of Chinese film led to a series of articles and books.

At the University of California, San Diego, Pickowicz and his colleague Joseph Esherick inaugurated a doctoral program in modern Chinese history which has produced several dozen students whose theses have been published as books.

## Works on the Chinese village under socialism

The collaborative work with Esherick and Friedman drew both praise and critical discussion.

The two books describe the village of Wugong, in Raoyang county, Hebei, some 200 kilometres south of Beijing. Wugong was designated as a model village, partly to honor its having founded a co-operative at the height of the Second Sino-Japanese war. The first volume is devoted to the 1940s and 1950s, which include the war years and the coming to power of the Communist Revolution and the land-reform campaigns. The second begins with the formation of the commune and the famine of the Great Leap Forward and follows the village through the early years of the next century. In each, the leading figure is Geng Changsuo (1900- 1985), the leading cadre.

Lucien Bianco, a French historian who specializes in rural Chinese history, wrote that he did not share the enthusiasm for the first volume, but thought that this second volume was much better. He felt that offering a step-by-step chronicle brought a certain lack of focus and did not offer a thematic context. The great difference from the first volume, however, was that the authors have “lost their illusions.” This is best illustrated, Bianco felt, through “the themes of patronage and clientelism, and the privileges which have been perpetuated from Mao’s revolutionary era through to the current post-revolutionary era.” These themes were present in the first volume, but the second one details “the themes of patronage and clientelism, and the privileges which have been perpetuated from Mao’s revolutionary era through to the current post-revolutionary era,” and the authors make clear “not only the favours but also the denunciations and recantations which disgraced leaders are forced into by changes in the Party line, beginning with Geng Changsuo (1900- 1985), Wugong’s established head.” Bianco also praises the book for its refusal to condemn the opportunistic leader, Geng, who made his family rich but himself lived simply, and who kept the loyalty of the villagers even when the Red Guards were sent to unseat him: “He is authoritarian without mistreating the villagers.” Bianco concludes that “Nothing is one-sided, or caricatural in this book, not even the condemnation of Maoism or its freeloading inferior successors. It is a local history told with a critical distance but never bereft of sympathy. It is a sober, concise, incisive account, quite often simply complemented by a final line or concluding phrase.”

## Studies on film and culture

Pickowicz told an interviewer that he was made to feel unwelcome when he first did research in Chinese archives but the situation gradually improved.

title: Waterhen River (Saskatchewan)

abstract: Waterhen River is an east-flowing river in the north-west area of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the drainage basin of the Beaver River. It is north of and parallel to the east-flowing part of the Beaver River and joins the north-flowing part of that river. Most of the river and its drainage basin is at the southern edge of the boreal forest belt. While the river's source is Lac des Îles, its drainage basin reaches north into the Mostoos Hills and west well into the neighbouring province of Alberta. Cree began moving into the area in the eighteenth century. There was a canoe route up the Waterhen River with a portage to the Beaver River on the south side of Cold Lake. The first trading post in the area was Cold Lake House built by the Montreal traders in 1781 near the present Beaver Crossing, Alberta, south of Cold Lake. Around 1790 the North West Company had a post on Waterhen Lake. The watershed of Waterhen River, including that of Cold River, is a major part of Saskatchewan's largest provincial park, Meadow Lake Provincial Park. There are no communities along the river's course, yet there are many amenities related to Meadow Lake Provincial Park and the villages of Dorintosh and Goodsoil nearby. Highways that cross the river include Highways 4, 155, 224, and 903. Along a portion of the southern bank, near Goodsoil, Waterhen River Road runs parallel to the river and provides access to it.

## Tributaries and course

Waterhen River has its beginnings at the large Primrose Lake in Saskatchewan. Primrose Lake discharges south through the Martineau River into Cold Lake on the Alberta / Saskatchewan border. Cold Lake then discharges east into the Cold River through Pierce and Lepine Lakes then into Lac des Îles.

The Waterhen River begins at the eastern end of Lac des Îles and flows eastward for about 65 kilometres (40 mi) following Highway 224 to Waterhen Lake. From Waterhen Lake, the river continues east for about 50 kilometres (31 mi) and meets the Beaver River near Highway 155. The section of the river between Lac des Îles and Waterhen Lake is in Meadow Lake Provincial Park. Coming out of the lake, it leaves the park and travels through Waterhen Lake First Nation en route to Beaver River. Beaver continues north and flows into Lac Île-à-la-Crosse, which is a lake along the course of the Churchill River–a major tributary of the Hudson Bay drainage basin.

Tributaries of the Waterhen River include * **Rusty Creek**, which drains Rusty Lake, the Mustus Lakes, and Peitahigan Lake.
* **Otter Creek** and its tributaries originate in the Mostoos Hills. Otter Creek's source is Sergent Lake.
    + **Carl Creek**
    + **De La Ronde Creek** flows south from Mostoos Hills into Sergent Lake.
        - **Taylor Creek**
        - **Laundry Creek** starts at Mallard Lake and flows south into De La Ronde Creek.
* **Shallow Creek** originates at Shallow Lake in the Mostoos Hills.
    + **Muskoseu Creek** flows into Shallow Lake.
* **Masumakoos Creek'**s source is Minnow Lake, on the south side of Waterhen River.
* **Gergley Creek** begins south of Gergley Lakes and flows north towards Waterhen River and into Stewart Lake. Stewart Lake empties directly into Waterhen River.

At the marshy delta where the Waterhen River flows into Waterhen Lake, a chain of three shallow lakes drain directly into the south side of the river. These include Niven, Matkin, and Iskwayach Lakes.

title: Tumby Island Conservation Park

abstract: Tumby Island Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia associated with Tumby Island in Spencer Gulf and located about 5 kilometres southeast of the town of Tumby Bay. The conservation park consists of land described as "section 682, north out of hundreds, county of Flinders", being the entirety of Tumby Island. The land first acquired protected area status as a fauna conservation reserve declared on 9 January 1969 under the Fauna Conservation Act 1964-1965. On 27 April 1972, the fauna conservation reserve was reconstituted as the Tumby Island Conservation Park under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. On 19 December 1991, additional land was added to the conservation park to extend protection over land located between high tide and low tide. As of 2018, it covered an area of 48 hectares. The area under protection is considered significant for the following reason: "a small island providing feeding and roosting habitat for seabirds." The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area. In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.

# Luis María Beamonte

**Luis María Beamonte Mesa** (born 10 September 1963) is a Spanish People's Party politician, elected to the Congress of Deputies in 2023. He was a member of the Cortes of Aragon (2011; 2015–2023), where he led his party from 2019 to 2021. He was previously the mayor of Tarazona (2007–2019) and president of the provincial deputation of the Province of Zaragoza (2011–2015).

## Biography

Born in Tudela, Navarre, Beamonte studied Law at the University of Zaragoza from 1982 to 1989, but did not finish his course until 2017, when his degree was awarded by King Juan Carlos University in Madrid. Elected a city councillor in Tarazona in the Province of Zaragoza in 2003, he became mayor four years later and president of the province's branch of the People's Party (PP) in 2008. In 2011, after winning a second term as mayor, he was also invested as president of the provincial deputation with support from the Aragonese Party (PAR), ending 12 years of Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) governance.

Beamonte was also elected to the Cortes of Aragon in the 2011 elections, but resigned in August of the same year to concentrate on his other offices. In June 2015, he earned a third term as mayor, with the PP taking 10 of 17 seats in the city hall. Later the same month, he lost his provincial office to the PSOE's Juan Antonio Sánchez Quero, the mayor of Tobed.

In March 2017, Beamonte was elected president of the People's Party of Aragon, with 97.8% of the votes. In December 2018, he was named the party's lead candidate for the 2019 Aragonese regional election. The party came second, and would have formed a majority if it formed a pact with Citizens, Vox and the PAR. This did not come to be, as incumbent president Javier Lambán's PSOE formed a government with Podemos, the Chunta Aragonesista and the PAR. In the same year, he did not run for re-election as mayor of Tarazona.

In October 2021, Beamonte said that he would not run again for leader of the regional PP, endorsing the mayor of Zaragoza, Jorge Azcón to replace him in December. Beamonte was replaced as PP spokesperson in the Cortes of Aragon by Mar Vaquero in January 2022.

In the 2023 Spanish general election, Beamonte led the PP list in the Zaragoza constituency. His party took seven of the thirteen seats.
