# Louis Victor, Prince of Carignano

**Louis Victor of Savoy, 4th Prince of Carignano** (25 September 1721 – 16 December 1778) headed a cadet branch of the Italian dynasty which reigned over the Kingdom of Sardinia, being known as the Prince of Carignano from 1741 till his death. Upon extinction of the senior line of the family, his great-grandson succeeded to the royal throne as King Charles Albert of Sardinia, while his great-great-grandson, Victor Emmanuel II, became King of Italy.

## Early life

Louis Victor was born at the Hôtel de Soissons, the Parisian home of his ancestor Marie de Bourbon, Countess of Soissons, to Victor Amadeus I, Prince of Carignano and his wife Maria Vittoria di Savoia. His father was a grandson of Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignano and thus a descendant of Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy and Infanta Catherine Michelle of Spain. He was doubly descended from the latter pair, as his mother was a legitimated daughter of Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia and his mistress Jeanne Baptiste d'Albert de Luynes.

One of five children, he was the second son of his parents; his older brother Joseph Victor died an infant in 1716. Louis Victor was thus heir to the Carignano cadet branch of the House of Savoy from birth. His older sister Anne Thérèse married the Frenchman Charles de Rohan and was Princess of Soubise by marriage. Anne Thérèse was the mother of Madame de Guéméné, official governess to the children of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI.

## Career

Louis Victor grew up in Paris, where his father was both a courtier and an inveterate gambler. Heavily in debt in Piedmont, and sued by his sisters whose dowries he had gambled away, he had fled to France where he lived so luxurious a life that his son was forced to sell significant family assets in that country. He later moved to Piedmont, between Turin and Racconigi.

In 1741, Louis Victor's father died and he became the Prince of Carignano. The fief of Carignano had belonged to the Savoys since 1418, but the fact that it was part of Piedmont, only twenty km south of Turin, meant that it could be a "princedom" for Thomas in name only, being endowed neither with independence nor revenues of substance.

## Personal life

On 4 May 1740, Louis Victor married Princess Christine of Hesse-Rotenburg-Rheinfels, a sister of the Sardinian king's deceased wife Queen Polyxena (1706–1736). The couple had nine children.

The most renowned of their children, Marie Thérèse, is known to history as the Princesse de Lamballe whose close friendship with Marie Antoinette led to her brutal death during the French Revolution.

Louis Victor lost his wife in September, 1778 and died himself on 16 December 1778 at the Palazzo Carignano, the Turin residence of the Carignano family. Since 1835 his wife's grave has been in Turin's Basilica of Superga, as is that of Louis Victor.

### Descendants

His descendants include Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples and Amedeo, 5th Duke of Aosta, rival claimants for the defunct throne of the Kingdom of Italy, as well as Prince Lorenz of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este, head of a cadet branch of the former imperial House of Habsburg-Lorraine, and the current head of the House of Lobkowicz.

# Zoulikha Tahar

**Zoulikha Tahar** (Arabic: زوليخة طاهر), also known as **Toute Fine**, (born 15 August 1992, Oran) is an Algerian feminist, poet, slameuse and self-taught videographer. She is a doctoral student in materials mechanics (University Djillali Liabes in Sidi-bel-Abbès).

## Works

Zoulikha Tahar began writing under the pseudonym Toute Fine in 2015.

In 2017, Toute Fine became known thanks to a short film co-directed with Sam MB about street harassment. The film, titled *La rue*, received a lot of attention. *La rue* was screened at several cultural events (at the Bourse du travail in Toulouse and - followed by a debate on the place of women in public space - as part of the festival *Algérie en mouvement* in Paris).

In October 2017, with the contribution of the Institut Français in Oran, she edited a collection of poetry entitled *Presque Deux*, a reconstruction of photos and texts from the first two years of Toute Fine's existence on social media.

In November 2017, Toute Fine adapted its collection for a performance and played for the first time in Paris at the Théâtre de la Nouvelle Seine and in March 2018 at the Institut Français in Annaba. The performance, titled *Autour de presque deux*, was followed by a debate on the many themes covered, with the primary aim of liberating, spreading and sharing free speech.

And she is realising at the Institute of the Arab World with Eddy Terki, a French-Algerian graphic designer, a performance/installation *From Paris to Oran (dialogue between two shores)* which shows the challenge of wanting to make connection between two cities with different cultures yet close together in history.

Toute Fine animates many writing workshops, sometimes with the Institut Français of Oran in Algeria. It organises literary meetings, debates and readings, mainly of a feminist nature.

### Awal Collective

Zoulikha Tahar is a member and co-founder of the *Awal* (meaning: *word*) collective which is composed of four slameurs and slameuses: Zoulikha (Toute Fine), Samia (Sam Mb) and Sedik (WHO Sedik) with varying participation of musicians and singers in certain scenes, such as Sabri Farouk (guitarist and singer) and Kamel Hadji (also guitarist and singer). The collective's scenes are very rich in diversity. That diversity is between slam and vocals with influences from blues, soul and alternative pop.

#### Tej Leryem Collective

Zoulikha Tahar is also a member and co-founder of the *Tej Leryem* collective (meaning: *women's crown*) which consists of artists Toute Fine, Ahlem Imene and Bouchra Zozo. Tej Leryem creates exhibitions, paintings, photographs and videos as well as performances of slam.

# Pennsylvania Route 865

**Pennsylvania Route 865** (**PA 865**) is a 19.1-mile-long (30.7 km) state highway located in Blair, Cambria, and Clearfield counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at Interstate 99 (I-99)/U.S. Route 220 (US 220) in Bellwood. The northern terminus is at PA 53 in Coalport.

## Route description

PA 865 begins at an interchange with I-99/US 220 in Antis Township, Blair County, heading west on Old U.S. 220, a two-lane divided highway. The road runs through wooded areas and crosses Little Juniata River, coming to an intersection with US 220 Business. Past this intersection, the route becomes two-lane undivided Campbells Lane and passes homes and a few businesses, heading into the borough of Bellwood. Here, PA 865 becomes East Logan Street and heads west-northwest past residences, turning west and passing over Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line. The route turns northwest onto North Tuckahoe Street and runs past more homes along with a few commercial establishments. The road heads back into Antis Township and continues through rural residential areas, passing through Roots Crossing. PA 865 passes a few forested fields before passing Bellwood Reservoir and heading into densely forested areas, turning to the north.

PA 865 enters Reade Township in Cambria County and becomes Skyline Drive, continuing north through more forests and passing through Lloydville. The road turns to the southwest and runs through the residential community of Blandburg before heading through more wooded areas with some fields and homes, curving north again. The route passes through Mountaindale and heads northwest, coming to an intersection with PA 253 in Glasgow. At this point, PA 253 turns northwest to form a concurrency with PA 865, passing a few homes. PA 253 splits from PA 865 by turning east onto Executive Drive, with PA 865 winding northwest through woodland with a few agricultural clearings. PA 865 continues into Beccaria Township in Clearfield County and becomes Heverly Boulevard, heading north through more woods with occasional farm fields. After passing through Utahville, the route turns to the west and heads through forested areas, passing through Heverly. Farther west, PA 865 reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with PA 53 on the southern border of the borough of Coalport.

# UKSG

**UKSG** is an international association that exists to "connect the information community" and "encourage the exchange of ideas on scholarly communication". The name *UKSG* originally stood for *United Kingdom Serials Group*, but the association is now known simply as UKSG as it has expanded beyond the UK and beyond serials to include e-books and other electronic resources.

UKSG's 450 or so member organizations include libraries, publishers, information suppliers, intermediaries and technology vendors from around the world. Membership of UKSG and associated benefits cover all employees within an organisation. Individual membership is also available as is free membership for students over 18. UKSG is a registered charity led by a main committee of volunteers (two Honorary Officers (Chair and Vice Chair), and a further seven elected and co-opted members) who work in a variety of capacities within the scholarly communication industry.

UKSG works to facilitate discussion, stimulate research, support the professional development of its members and disseminate information about the scholarly communications sector. It runs an annual conference in the spring and a One-Day Conference and Forum in the late autumn. It also runs regular seminars, webinars and training courses. It supports an active email discussion list, lis-e-resources: a forum in which members can exchange and discuss industry news and developments.

UKSG publishes the open access peer-reviewed journal *Insights: the UKSG journal*, a continuation of  *Serials: The Journal for the Serials Community* (1988-1911). It contains the latest research in the field of scholarly communications and insights into the work of all those employed in the research information chain. It provides members with a fortnightly email newsletter, *UKSG eNews*, which provides news of current issues and developments within the global serials industry. It also published *The E-resources Management Handbook*.

## Work on knowledge bases

In 2006 UKSG commissioned a research report that identified and described issues affecting the efficiency of OpenURL linking. One of the key issues identified was the exchange of metadata in the supply chain and the need for more common formats to aid the transfer of metadata from content providers to link resolver knowledge bases. As a result, in 2008 UKSG and NISO set up a joint initiative called Knowledge Bases And Related Tools (KBART) to make recommendations for the transfer of metadata. The first set of guidelines was published in January 2010 as a NISO Recommended Practice.

The UKSG Research and Innovation Subcommittee was at the forefront of the Transfer Code of Practice and the Journal Usage Factor (JUF) project and, with the support of Jisc, partnered with LISU to carry out the research project "Assessing the Impact of Library Discovery Technology on Content Usage", which was delivered in 2013. The UKSG Research and Innovation Subcommittee welcomes new ideas for research projects from the community.


# List of United States federal courthouses in Nevada

Following is a list of current and former courthouses of the United States federal court system located in Nevada. Each entry indicates the name of the building along with an image, if available, its location and the jurisdiction it covers, the dates during which it was used for each such jurisdiction, and, if applicable the person for whom it was named, and the date of renaming. Dates of use will not necessarily correspond with the dates of construction or demolition of a building, as pre-existing structures may be adapted or court use, and former court buildings may later be put to other uses. Also, the official name of the building may be changed at some point after its use as a federal court building has been initiated.

# Loynton Moss

**Loynton Moss** is a nature reserve of the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, near the village of Woodseaves, in Staffordshire, England. It is adjacent to the Shropshire Union Canal, as it runs from nearby Norbury to High Offley.

## Description

The area of the reserve is 13 hectares (32 acres), and it is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There are walking trails, except in the mostly inaccessible areas of reedbed and wet woodland. There are mosquitoes in the wetter areas during the summer, which may deter visitors.

### Geology

The particular landscape is a result of a process after the last ice age. A kettle hole was formed by dead ice left by retreating glaciers, which became a lake when the ice finally melted. The former lake is now an area of peaty, boggy land, known as a Moss.

### Environments

There are dry wooded areas, where bluebells can be seen in the spring.

Grassland, acquired by the Trust in 2000, is a large part of the reserve. It is former wetland, drained for agriculture in 1970.

There are areas of reedbed, and wet woodland including an alder carr. Uncommon plants found here include marsh cinquefoil and cowbane. Moths, butterflies and many species of rare insects can be found in the wetland. Birds such as willow warbler and reed bunting are attracted by the particular insects in this habitat.

Birch trees consume much water during the summer and can affect ground water levels of the wetland, so some have been felled in places. Ditches and land drains are monitored.

**Ángel Luis Sánchez** (born September 20, 1983) is a Puerto Rican coach in Minor League Baseball, and a former professional baseball shortstop who played in Major League Baseball for the Kansas City Royals, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox.

## Playing career

At the age of 15, Sánchez was drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 12th round (356th overall) of the 1999 Major League Baseball Draft. He did not sign with the Marlins and was later taken by the Kansas City Royals in the 11th round (325th overall) of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft.

### Kansas City Royals

Sánchez began his professional career playing for the Gulf Coast Royals in 2001 and 2002. For another two years from 2003 to 2004, he played for the Class A Burlington Bees. In a breakout 2005 season, playing for the Class A-Advanced High Desert Mavericks, he batted .313 with 5 home runs in 133 games. He set numerous career highs including batting average (.313), games played (133, tied in 2006), at-bats (585), runs scored (102, surpassed in 2006 with 105), hits (185), doubles (33), triple (4), home runs (5), RBI (70), and walks (39, surpassed in 2006 with 44).

On November 18, 2005, Sánchez's contract was purchased by the Royals, protecting him from the Rule 5 draft. At the time, *Baseball America* ranked Sánchez as the best infielder in the Royals' minor league system.

In 2006, Sánchez played the entire minor league season for the Double-A Wichita Wranglers. He batted .280 with 4 home runs in 133 games. On September 20, with Andrés Blanco injured, Sánchez was a late-season callup. He made his major league debut on September 23, against the Detroit Tigers, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. He got his first major league hit on September 26, against the Minnesota Twins in a two-hit game. On October 1, the Royals' last game of the season, Sánchez recorded his first three-hit game, all singles, against the Tigers. It was just his eighth career game. Sánchez completed the 2006 major league season with a .222 batting average.

Sánchez missed the entire 2007 season with a right elbow injury. In 2008, he was the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals' primary shortstop, hitting .261 in 63 games.

Toronto Blue Jays

On November 3, 2008, Sánchez was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays. He played in 126 games for the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s and hit .305. He did not play in any major league games for Toronto.

### Boston Red Sox

Sánchez signed as a free agent with the Boston Red Sox on November 25, 2009. In 62 games with the Pawtucket Red Sox, he hit .274. He also played in one game, on May 20, 2010, for the Red Sox and was hitless in three at-bats.

### Houston Astros

On July 1, 2010, Sánchez was traded to the Houston Astros for veteran catcher Kevin Cash.

Sánchez saw regular action as a utility infielder for the Astros in 2010 and 2011, hitting .257 in 175 games. He also hit his first Major League homer on April 11, 2011 off Ryan Dempster of the Chicago Cubs. He spent all of 2012 back in the minor leagues, playing in 107 games with the Triple-A Oklahoma City RedHawks and hit .320.

### Chicago White Sox

On October 26, 2012, Sánchez, represented by Burton Rocks, signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that included an invitation to spring training, where he was expected to compete for the utility role vacated by Maicer Izturis. However, on December 6, 2012, Sánchez was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the Rule 5 Draft. He appeared in one game, on April 9, for the White Sox and was hitless in two at-bats. He was then placed on the disabled list following the game. On May 25, 2013, Sánchez was activated from the disabled list and outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte Knights. In 43 games with the Knights, he hit only .189 and he was released on August 3, 2013.

### Late career

Sánchez finished the 2013 season with the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, hitting .228 in 31 games. He then began 2014 with the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, also of the Atlantic League, hitting .288 in 15 games.

On June 13, 2014, Sánchez signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was assigned to the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts. He played in 54 games and hit .251.

After sitting out the 2015 season, Sánchez completed his playing career in 2016 with Southern Maryland, batting .280 in 79 games.

# Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality

**Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality** (**PESQ**) is a family of standards comprising a test methodology for automated assessment of the speech quality as experienced by a user of a telephony system. It was standardized as Recommendation ITU-T P.862 in 2001. PESQ is used for objective voice quality testing by phone manufacturers, network equipment vendors and telecom operators. Its usage requires a license. The first edition of PESQ's successor POLQA (Recommendation ITU-T P.863) entered into force in 2011.

## Measurement scope

PESQ was developed to model subjective tests commonly used in telecommunications (e.g., Recommendation ITU-T P.800) to assess the voice quality perceived by human beings. Consequently, it employs true voice samples as test signals. In order to characterize the listening quality as perceived by users, it is of paramount importance to load modern telecom equipment with speech-like signals. Many systems are optimized for speech and would respond in an unpredictable way to non-speech signals (e.g., tones, noise). Guidelines for proper applications of voice test samples are defined in the PESQ application guide contained in Recommendation ITU-T P.862.3.

ITU-T's family of full reference objective voice quality measurements started in 1997 with Recommendation ITU-T P.861 (PSQM), which was superseded by ITU-T P.862 (PESQ) in 2001. P.862 was later complemented with Recommendations ITU-T P.862.1 (mapping of PESQ scores to a MOS scale), ITU-T P.862.2 (wideband measurements) and ITU-T P.862.3 (application guide). The first edition of ITU-T P.863 (POLQA) entered into force in 2011. An Application guide for Recommendation ITU-T P.863 was approved in 2019 and published as ITU-T P.863.1.

In addition to the above listed full reference methods, the list of ITU-T's objective voice quality measurement standards also includes ITU-T P.563 (no-reference algorithm).

## Testing typology

Depending on the information that is made available to an algorithm, voice-quality test algorithms can be divided into two main categories:

* A "full reference" (FR) algorithm has access to and makes use of the original reference signal for a comparison (i.e., a difference analysis). It can compare each sample of the reference signal (talker side) to each corresponding sample of the degraded signal (listener side). FR measurements deliver the highest accuracy and repeatability but can only be applied for dedicated tests in live networks (e.g., drive test tools for mobile network benchmarks).
* A "no reference" (NR) algorithm only uses the degraded signal for the quality estimation and has no information of the original reference signal. NR algorithms (e.g., Recommendation ITU-T P.563) are low-accuracy estimates only, as the originating voice characteristics (e.g., male or female talker, background noise, non-voice) of the source reference is completely unknown. A common variant of NR algorithms does not even analyze the decoded audio signal, but works on an analysis of the digital bit stream on an IP packet level. The measurement is consequently limited to a transport-stream analysis.

PESQ is a full-reference algorithm and analyzes the speech signal sample-by-sample after a temporal alignment of corresponding excerpts of reference and test signal. PESQ can be applied to provide an end-to-end (E2E) quality assessment for a network, or characterize individual network components.

PESQ results principally model mean opinion scores (MOS) that cover a scale from 1 (bad) to 5 (excellent). A mapping function to MOS-LQO is outlined in Recommendation ITU-T P.862.1.

# UKSA (maritime charity)

**UKSA** in Cowes (previously called UK Sailing Academy) is a youth charity offering professional maritime training opportunities, youth development programs and school/ group residential trips. The charity was founded in 1987 by MFI entrepreneur Noel Lister. He purchased a Sports Council building with the intention of giving young people the opportunity to experience adventurous maritime activities. Since then UKSA has expanded now owning multiple buildings housing a wide range of facilities which are used to provide a wide range of maritime related actives, professional training and asset in support their charitable works.

UKSA currently accepts over 8000 students a year of which 80% are under to age of 25 offering these students over 150 courses to choose from.

HRH The Princess Royal became Patron of UKSA in 1992. Dee Caffari (MBE), Helena Lucas (MBE), Sarah Ayton (OBE), and Shirley Robertson (OBE) are all Ambassadors for the charity.

**Today UKSA's work is split into four main areas:**

* Professional training courses for maritime employment.
* Non-standard education for schools and groups.
* Youth development and enrichment programmes
* Providing maritime courses for leisure application.

## Career courses

UKSA began teaching watersports career courses in 1990 and yachting career courses in 1993 as a way for people from all backgrounds and circumstances to be able to get the right qualifications for a career in the maritime industry.

### Watersports

UKSA offers wide range of waterspouts careers course which aim to train students in various disciplines to make them an effective water-sports instructor. These include course are divided into six different programs: Waterports Instructor Training (also known as WIT), Watersports Academy, Neilson Academy, "Kickstart", Summer Instructors Training and the Instructors Development Program. These course offer slightly different pathways but all aim at providing the training and qualifications required to succeed and find a career in the watersports industry.

**Yachting**

The first yachting course taught at UKSA was Professional Crew Training developed by Noel Lister and his team. This developed into Professional Crew and Skipper training and then in 1998 into Caribbean Ocean Training. By 2001 the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) introduced new superyacht regulations so yachting career courses were moved in line with this.

### Superyachting and MCA training

In 2001 the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) introduced new superyacht regulations so yachting career courses were moved in line with this.

By 2003 engineering courses were offered as an alternative career option. Hospitality courses also began in 2003. UKSA added MCA Deck Officer training to its spectrum of courses in 2000. This began with Class 4 training but today includes STCW Basic Training, Master 200gt through to Officer of the Watch, Chief Mate and Master 3000gt.

In 2004, UKSA worked in partnership with the MCA to develop its five-phase Superyacht Cadetship which trains individuals to Deck Officer level through training at UKSA and paid work placements in the Superyacht industry.

In 2008, The Corporation of Trinity House extended its Professional Yachtsman Bursary Scheme to individuals applying for the UKSA Cadetship. The scheme funds part of the Cadet's tuition fees along with a maintenance grant.

Today UKSA offers wide range of Superyacht Career course options and MCA training course aimed at all levels within the MCA training syllabus.

## Schools and groups

Schools and youth groups from across the UK visit UKSA for day or residential trips throughout the year. UKSA offer groups to tailor make their trips to meet the needs and demands set out by the groups. Trips focus providing children and adults alike from all backgrounds with new water related experiences, with many gaining basic qualifications whilst taking part in these programs.

In 2019 8000+ individuals from schools and youth groups spent time at UKSA.

## Leisure courses

UKSA offers a wide range of paid maritime leisure courses ranging from dingy sailing and powerboating to the full RYA Yachtmaster syllabus. UKSA accepted over 953 leisure course students in 2019 with an age range of 6-77.

## Disability

UKSA works with a number of specialist schools, groups and individuals to assist them in being able to participate in watersports and sailing activities.

In 2010 278 beneficiaries with disabilities spent time at UKSA on day or residential trips.

## Sporting performance

UKSA provides the opportunity for young people to sail competitively.

### GBR Yacht Racing Academy (GBR YRA)

The GBR YRA was created in 2006 by Bear of Britain owner Kit Hobday and Chernikeeff 2 owner Peter Harrison in association with UKSA.

### British Keelboat Academy

In 2009 GBR YRA joined forces with the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) to form the British Keelboat Academy (BKA). The BKA is aimed at 18- to 24-year-old with the squad divided in ‘Development’ and ‘National’. The Development squad train and race on UKSA's fleet of J80s. Until 2010 the National squad trained and raced on the RYA's *John Merricks II*. In 2011 Skype founder Niklas Zennström loaned Farr 45 *Kólga* from his Rán fleet to the BKA. The BKA have also been loaned J/109 *Yeoman of Wight* by David Aisher, Rear Commodore Yachting of the Royal Yacht Squadron.

## Gipsy Moth IV

In 2004, UKSA bought Gipsy Moth IV for £1. Following a campaign to restore her, the boat was ready to sail again in 2005. From 2005 to 2007, Gipsy Moth IV completed a second circumnavigation. Instead of breaking records like Sir Francis Chichester, this global voyage had disadvantaged young people on board as part of the crew.

In November 2010, Gipsy Moth IV was bought by new owners Rob Thompson and Eileen Skinner. The boat is managed by UKSA and alongside attending events throughout the year, will be used by UKSA to promote their charitable activities.

### Apprenticeship

Using funding from the government's Future Jobs Fund, two cohorts of 18- to 24-year-olds that had been labelled as NEET – not in employment, education or training – began training for watersports qualifications at UKSA in April and October 2010. The training was designed to give each young person a host of transferable skills to utilise in the future.

### Island youth partnership

In partnership with the Isle of Wight Community Partnership, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, Vestas Technology UK and Employee Volunteering, UKSA launched a pilot project for young people on the Isle of Wight in spring and summer of 2010.

The young people on the project took part in structured sailing and watersports activities alongside personal mentoring to help them develop essential skill sets and confidence to help them engage with local clubs and services.

This has evolved into a range of youth development programmes which all involve on-the-water activities as the catalyst for positive change, giving young people the chance to get their lives back on track. People arrive at UKSA from all walks of life, but for NEETs (Not in Education, Employment or Training), young offenders, or those who are failing to engage at school, being immersed in the positive environment of UKSA can be life-changing. Generally the courses involve a team-building residential, watersports and sailing, community work, work experience and help to complete a professional CV.

## About UKSA

The charity's founder, Noel Lister, was born in 1927. After completing his education he went straight into a six-year signing with the Army, where his entrepreneurial spirit was already apparent on a troop ship to Egypt towards the end of WWII when he traded cigarettes and did a “tea round” selling tea to other soldiers too lazy to make their own in the heat.

Back on home soil, he entered the world of retail by working in a furniture store. He was such a strong character the shop owner said he would either end up in prison or turn up one day in a Rolls-Royce. Noel knew which path to take, left the business, and four years later, sure enough, he pulled up in his Roller.

He built up his own furniture business, popularising the concept of a dining room suite by selling tables with matching chairs, and introducing bunk beds to the family home (things that hadn't been widely done before).

This entrepreneurial spirit and constant re-evaluation of what works best led him to a fortune when his empire grew and he set up furniture giant MFI — launching the concept of shed retailing and out-of-town shopping while essentially inventing the concept of flat pack self-assembly furniture (even hiring out roof racks so customers had no excuse not to buy that very day!)

Noel was a bold adventurer and pretty fearless. He campaigned his racing yachts over many years during the time he ran MFI and accumulated a large amount of silverware against top national and international competition in RORC races, Fastnet etc.

After an exhilarating and life-changing career as a retail genius he sold MFI for an extraordinary sum of money at the age of 58 and further indulged his passion for sailing, spending a good decade or so sailing around the world with his wife Sylvia on their beloved 103 ft boat, Whirlwind XII. He was not at all interested in Mediterranean glamour - his favourite destination was Alaska where he could enjoy being chased by grizzlies.

While sailing the world he had time to reflect on his wonderful life — and he knew he wanted to give something back. Sylvia explained: “He would say, “I can’t have all this money and not let children enjoy the sea as much as we do.” He knew he wanted to find a way of giving children confidence, and he felt a great way to do this would be to give them the opportunity to get out onto the water. His whole aim was to give disabled or disadvantaged children the chance to go sailing, and this idea just seemed to grow.”

Mike Koppstein was Noel’s yacht captain, so he was with the businessman right at the beginning of UKSA, when the idea of establishing a sailing charity first came about.

Mike explained: “Noel always had the idea of making sailing accessible to under-privileged children. It came through his experience of the teamwork of sailing and he felt strongly that it was something everyone should be able to experience.

“Noel was quite a shy unassuming person, and sailing made him feel comfortable. He understood his own limitations in his shyness and saw how the sailing environment made him more sociable. It bought the gamesmanship and confidence out of him.

“In founding UKSA, the priority for him was to make an initial charitable donation but then for it to be run as a business. He was always very creative in making a pound go further while cleverly creating some income – so it was not just about giving money, but about making UKSA run proficiently.”

Noel had raced in Cowes for years and when the opportunity arose to buy a waterfront centre from the Sports Council in October 1987 he knew it would be perfect.

He invested £4 million in the Lister Charitable Trust to start the place afresh, and he applied his entrepreneurial principles to setting up the charity.

In the early days there were 60 beds, and plenty of dinghies but no yachts, but it was busy with 1,500 children a year taking part in activities. The initial goal was to increase this operation by buying more kit to enable more schools to come along.

With the growth in leisure holidays too, it became apparent that there were job opportunities for young people within the watersports industry, so UKSA looked into providing instructor training courses.

The courses extended the operational arm of the charity, brought in income and helped young people set off on careers. It also kept the centre busy all year round, instead of closing for winter like it did in the early days.

Later, the yacht training courses were established in response to a gap in the market and a need, all around the world, for experienced crew for the growing superyacht industry.

Mike explained: “I came up with the idea of setting up crew training, because as far as we knew there was nothing else offering that. To the best of our knowledge we were very much the first. Before that, there were purely academic captains’ courses, nothing blending the theory with the practical. If there were others, they were not formalised as ours was. The curriculum was wisely shaped in detail by Ben Cussons and attendance subsequently grew - and the rest is modern history.”

Over the years, UKSA expanded by buying yachts, purchasing the hotel over the road (now Victory) to accommodate career students, building a swimming pool in 1993 and opening the Lister House accommodation block in 2003. Princess Royal became patron in 1992 — the Royal seal of approval.

Of great importance over recent years has been the transition from being a provider of maritime activities and training to one with a much more sophisticated focus on personal development as the context for these activities. Recognising individuals’ needs, challenges and potential, and supporting them through mentoring into career paths and social worth, is what it is all about. Now, as a globally recognised youth education and maritime training charity, UKSA helps more people than ever before.

Sylvia said: “The whole thing makes us both very proud. I think it is brilliant as it gives children a chance in life. UKSA was Noel’s No.1 passion, definitely.”

Noel was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Superyacht Awards in 2010 – the first time a still-living yachtsman has been chosen. It was absolutely typical of Noel that, being a modest man, he couldn't see what all the fuss was about and refused to go to the ceremony. Sylvia and the family did, and collected a handsome award on his behalf.

UKSA's founder Noel Lister died in 2015.

title: Temple of Mut, Jebel Barkal

abstract: The Temple of Mut, also named Temple B300, is a temple at Jebel Barkal in Northern State, Sudan. It is situated about 400 km north of Khartoum near Karima and stands near a large bend of the Nile River, in the region that was called Nubia in ancient times. The partially rock-cut temple was built on the west side base of the Jebel Barkal pinnacle, from which angle it assumed the shape of an Uraeus wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt. Dedicated to the goddess Mut, the wife of Amun, the Temple of Mut was erected by pharaoh Taharqa in the 680s BCE, at a time when he ruled Upper and Lower Egypt.

# Temple of Mut, Jebel Barkal

The **Temple of Mut**, also named **Temple B300**, is a temple at Jebel Barkal in Northern State, Sudan. It is situated about 400 km north of Khartoum near Karima and stands near a large bend of the Nile River, in the region that was called Nubia in ancient times. The partially rock-cut temple was built on the west side base of the Jebel Barkal pinnacle, from which angle it assumed the shape of an Uraeus wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt. Dedicated to the goddess Mut, the wife of Amun, the Temple of Mut was erected by pharaoh Taharqa in the 680s BCE, at a time when he ruled Upper and Lower Egypt.

## History

Restoring a ruined structure abandoned by New Kingdom pharaohs, named *B300-sub*, Taharqa built an outer temple of cut stone masonry comprising entrance kiosk, pylon, Bes pillars, columns topped with sistrum-headed Hathor capitals and carved five wall painted chambers into the rock base to honor the goddess Mut, who believed to dwell together with the state-god Amun inside Jebel Barkal. From the outer structure only two of the Hathor columns still survive, but the rock-cut chambers are in good shape and were cleaned and restored from 2015 to 2018.

## Setting

The rock-chambers contain restored paintings with representations of Amon, Taharqa and lion-headed or human-headed forms of the Double Crown wearing Mut. The paintings are accompanied by hieroglyphic inscriptions, where Taharqa says that he found the temple built by the "ancestors" in "humble work", and that he rebuilt it as "splendid work". The figures are painted in ochre and white kaolin on a background painted in Egyptian blue. Alluding in some regard to the myth of the Eye of Ra, the goddesses represented in the Temple of Mut played important roles both in the myth of the divine origin of the king and in coronation ceremonies.

# Oto Žarnay

**Oto Žarnay** (born 18 March 1969 in Košice) is a Slovak teacher, anticorruption activist and politician. Between 2016 and 2020, he served as an MP of the National Council, elected on the Ordinary People and Independent Personalities list. In February 2017, he was one of the founding members of the Together – Civic Democracy party.

## Early life

Oto Žarnay studied Pedagogy at the University of Prešov. He worked as a proofreader, editor and teacher.

### Whistleblower

Oto Žarnay worked as a teacher at Commerce Academy high school on the Polárna street in Košice. He was also the director of the teacher parents association at the school. In 2013 he wrote a public letter to the Prime Minister Robert Fico, stating that the school pays €400 monthly for likely bogus "external legal services". The management of the school refused to clarify the nature of services provided. In response the Minister of Education Peter Pellegrini proposed a meeting with Žarnay to discuss his concerns.

Žarnay together with an MP Ján Mičovský filed a lawsuit against the school for wasteful and fraudulent use of public funds. The comptroller of Košice regional administration estimates that over the course of contract being in effect, the school paid a total of €12,000 without to a law firm without apparently receiving any services in return. In 2016, this finding was confirmed also by a central government auditor.

After the contract became public knowledge, it was no longer extended and soon expired. Nonetheless, Žarnay was fired for "organizational reasons" along with a physical education teacher who spoke in his defense. The sacking was declared invalid by the appellate court of the Košice region in December 2018. The new principal of the school subsequently announced that Žarnay, who became an MP in the meantime, will be welcome to return to teaching at the school after the end of his career in politics should he wish to come back.

## Political career

### Local politics

Between 2014 and 2018, Žarnay served as a town councilor of Košice as an independent.

### European parliament elections

Žarnay was a candidate on list of Ordinary People and Independent Personalities in the 2014 European Parliament election. He was not elected

### Member of Parliament

Žarnay successfully ran in the 2016 Slovak parliamentary election also on the Ordinary People and Independent Personalities list. In 2017 he joined Miroslav Beblavý, Jozef Mihál, Katarína Macháčková, Zuzana Zimenová, Simona Petrík and Viera Dubačová ti start a new party called Together – Civic Democracy. Following the party failure to pass the representation threshold in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election he retired from politics.

# Paul Merwart

**Paul Merwart**, or **Paweł Merwart** (25 March 1855, Marianovka, Kherson Governorate, Russian Empire – 8 May 1902, Saint-Pierre, Martinique), was a Polish-French illustrator and painter; mostly of portraits and genre scenes, inspired by literature, the Bible, and music.

## Biography

His mother was Polish and his father was a French soldier who was serving in the Crimean War. He was raised in Lemberg, then Austrian Empire, now Ukraine. At first, he studied technical subjects in Graz. After being wounded in a duel, he went to recuperate in Italy. While there, he decided to pursue an artistic career instead.

He began his studies in Vienna and Munich (1876), then went to Düsseldorf (1877), and finally to Paris, where he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts (1877–1884), completing his studies with Henri Lehmann and Isidore Pils.

He had his first showing at the Salon in 1879. During his time there, he worked for *Le Monde Illustré*, *L'Illustration* and *L'Univers illustré*. He also served as a correspondent in Russia and Austria.

After graduating, he became a French citizen and settled in Paris. In 1896, thanks to the influence of his brother Émile, a prominent colonial administrator, he was appointed official painter for the "Ministère de la Marine et des Colonies". In this position, he made trips to the Canary Islands, Senegal, Sudan, Kongo, Tunisia, Mauretania, Somalia, and Guiana. As would be expected, his works increasingly came to focus on exotic themes.

In April 1902, he accompanied a government commission to investigate volcanic activity on Martinique. In May, he was one of almost 30,000 people killed when Mount Pelée suddenly erupted, destroying the town of Saint-Pierre. A memorial plaque was placed in the Forest of Fontainebleau, where he often painted.
