# Walter Hines Page School of International Relations

The **Walter Hines Page School of International Relations** was a research institute that was part of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It began official operations in 1930, although it had trouble acquiring sufficient funding, and was led at different times by John Van Antwerp MacMurray, Frederick S. Dunn, and Owen Lattimore. The school came to an end in 1953 as part of a university reorganization and possibly also due to Red Scare accusations against Lattimore.

## Origins

The school's planning started in 1924, with the school to be located at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. It was named after the late American diplomat Walter Hines Page, who had been one of the first fellows in philology in the university's history. The school was intended as a memorial to his life by his relatives, which had gained in stature following the publication of *The Life and Letters of Walter Hines Page* in 1922. An early advocate for the school was U.S. Navy Admiral William S. Sims, who had shared a worldview with Page. Among the early backers for the idea were industrialist Owen D. Young and politician George L. P. Radcliffe. Vice President of the United States Charles G. Dawes gave his share of the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize to the school, a gift that amounted to around $15,775.

Nonetheless, attaining funding for the school was a problem, and the amounts that were raised previously were depleted by the stock market crash of 1929. The school did not officially begin operation until 1930, at which point the fundraising had brought in only $300,000 of an intended goal of $1 million. Under the university presidency of Joseph Sweetman Ames, the Walter Hines Page School of International Relations was organized as a division of Johns Hopkins.

At the time, American universities were just beginning to view international relations as a subject for formal programs of study. The goal of the new institution was to do research regarding a broad range of topics and behaviors related to relations among states. The school was intended to look at the specific problems that American foreign policy faced, and there was also the idea that the research produced might give humanity some guidance towards finding world peace. The school had ambitious plans, among them the creation of a professorship international law, theory of diplomacy, international finance, and commercial policy. The Page School was one of several such institutes to be created during the interwar years, with two other well-known instances being the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and the Institute of International Studies at Yale University.

## Activities and influence

The Page School's initial director was the American diplomat John Van Antwerp MacMurray, who officially stayed in the position until 1936. The international law scholar Frederick Sherwood Dunn was the school's executive secretary from 1929 to 1935, and Dunn was effectively head of the school during the mid-1930s when MacMurray was recalled to diplomatic duty in the Baltics.

Some of the initial emphasis of the school was on European relations. Perhaps the best-known early work coming out of the Page School was Albert K. Weinberg's 1935 book  *Manifest Destiny: A Study of Nationalist Expansionism in American History*. But the school was already running a deficit by 1932, and failing to acquire new sources of funds and lacking sufficient resources, Dunn departed.

The Orientalist Owen Lattimore was director of the school from 1939 to 1953, except for the years 1941 through 1944, which he spent in China. The staff of the school mostly consisted of senior professors and postdoctoral students. Under Lattimore, the school's direction changed to a focus upon Oriental studies and especially Sinology. There was a major effort around 1950 that emphasized Mongolian studies. One account described the school at this time as "an Asian research bureau", which was not what the leaders of Johns Hopkins nor Page's heirs had envisioned.

## End

In 1950, Johns Hopkins acquired the previously independent School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), based in Washington, D.C. At the time, Johns Hopkins president Detlev Bronk said that there was little overlap between the two schools. As it happened, SAIS was closer to the original intent of the Page School than the Page School under Lattimore was by that time.

Meanwhile, McCarthyism had taken hold, and in 1950 attacks were made upon Lattimore as a supposed agent of the Soviet Union which that eventually resulted in Lattimore being indicted on federal charges of perjury in 1952 and having to take a leave of absence from the university.

Action was taken to "discontinue" the Page School in 1953, as part of what Bronk termed "a series of steps being taken at the university to simplify its academic structure." Among scholars, views have differed upon the full rationale for the closing of the school. One has stated that the decision had already been made to close the school and that it had nothing to do with the controversies surrounding Lattimore, with some further academics repeating that contention without necessarily endorsing it. Another has said that "it seemed to be an expression of criticism of Lattimore" on the part of administration and trustees of Johns Hopkins. Yet another has suggested that the closure was possibly "intended so to anger Lattimore that he would quit without needing to be fired". Regardless of the reasons, the closing of the school did not elicit much in the way of protests. (The perjury charges against Lattimore were subsequently dismissed by the courts or dropped by the government. While the university never dismissed Lattimore, it effectively lowered his status there, and several years later he departed for a position in England.)

In any case, it has been the general impression that at Johns Hopkins, the Page School was effectively supplanted by SAIS, which subsequently became known as the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.

# Ffestiniog Travel

**Ffestiniog Travel** was established in 1974. It is a sister company to the Ffestiniog Railway (FR), both organisations being owned by the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways Trust which is a registered charity. Profits go to support the preservation of the FR and Welsh Highland Railway (WHR).

## History

Ffestiniog Travel's origins lie with the FR when its base at Harbour Station in Porthmadog, North Wales, first became a train ticketing office for British Rail. The FR thus became more than just a heritage railway, and also issued tickets for travel not only to other local railway stations but further afield. Ffestiniog Travel continues to provide a ticket only service today.

In 1973, the FR was appointed by British Rail's Shipping and International Services Division to sell Sealink Ferries and Continental rail tickets. In order to meet BR's sales target, the FR decided to sell as many tickets as possible on the longest Sealink Ferries route which was Harwich to the Hook of Holland. To do this it devised a group holiday via the Hook of Holland to the narrow gauge railways of the Swiss Alps for FR supporters. Hotel accommodation had to be arranged and onward rail journeys and a day-to-day itinerary established to ensure the tour included trips on the railway lines with Alpine scenery. This tour proved popular, with 68 bookings. And so, in October 1974, what was intended as a one-off tour to the Swiss Alps became the first of many rail holidays and Ffestiniog Travel was born.

## Operations

A market was perceived for future tours and destinations. Scandinavia followed in April 1975 and there was another tour to Switzerland in September.

A milestone was passed in 1979 when the first long haul tour (to Canada) was run.

A new niche in independent rail travel was beginning to open up and in 1981 a small number of customers approached the company for tailor made arrangements.

Ffestinog Travel was an integral part of the Commercial Department of the FR until 1992 when the decision was taken to make it a separate company, sister to the FR Company and wholly owned by the Festiniog & Welsh Highland Railways Trust. This was to give FT greater flexibility to develop its business beyond its traditional rail niche. The company is Ffestiniog Railway Holdings Ltd which trades as Ffestiniog Travel. Profits from FT's operations continued to be used solely to benefit the FR by being covenanted to the Trust and ploughed back to the railway in the form of capital grants. The total amount donated since 1993 amounts to £543k. This money has gone towards projects such as new carriages and renovation work at FR's Harbour Station.

Today FT runs 30 escorted rail tours each year around the UK, Europe and worldwide as well as arranging bespoke tailor made rail holidays for hundreds of travellers every year. The company also undertakes a lot of contract work for other organisations who require help to arrange a number of Special Interest Tours. These organisations supply the expert tour leader to lead the itinerary and FT arranges transport and accommodation. FT's dedicated Ticket Only department also means the company is an authority on rail routes and rail operators around the world.

# My Love Is Like...Wo

"**My Love Is Like...Wo**" is a song by American singer Mýa, released as the lead single from her third studio album, *Moodring* (2003), on June 9, 2003. Mýa re-teamed up with rapper Missy Elliott after the global success of "Lady Marmalade" (2001) to record the song. Before being released, it took Mýa a whole year to decide to record the song because of its graphic lyrical content. The song was written by Elliott along with brothers Charles and Kenneth Bereal. Lyrically, the mid-tempo song is about self-love.

The song received generally mixed to positive reviews from contemporary music critics, applauding Mýa for her newfound sexual freedom. "My Love Is Like...Wo" became a top-20 hit on the *Billboard* Hot 100 for week of September 6, 2003, peaking and spending four consecutive weeks at number 13. It performed similarly on *Billboard*'s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, where it peaked at number 17. Internationally, the single charted within the top 40 in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

The song's accompanying music video was filmed by director Paul Hunter, who envisioned Harrison to perform a one-woman show. The video earned her two nominations at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Dance Video and Best Choreography, while choreographer Travis Payne garnered a nomination at the American Choreography Awards for Outstanding Achievement – Music Video.

## Background

"My Love Is Like...Wo" was written and produced by American rapper Missy Elliott along with production duo CKB, consisting of brothers Charles and Kenneth Bereal. Additional production on the song was handled by Ron Fair. Before Harrison decided to release "My Love Is...Wo" as the first single from *Moodring* (2003), she admitted she was not always comfortable with the song and its graphic lyric content. Speaking to *Billboard* magazine, she explained, "Back then, I wasn't so confident in saying, 'My a\** is like wo' \[...\] I was coming out of doing a program with young girls that talked about self-esteem and body image. I realized that I really couldn't worry about what people think of me. I'm at that point in my life now where I can say, 'My ass is like wo.' I wasn't even considering the song to be on the album at that time, but I later fought for it to be the single." She further called My "Love Is Like...Wo" a "very conceited song, and I love it. It's about self-love and feeling confident, and it's a little cocky and aggressive."

## Composition

"My Love Is Like...Wo" is a mid-tempo song composed in the key of G major. The song's tempo is set a slow moderate sixty-nine beats per minute in common time. Mýa's vocal range spans from G3 to D5. The lyrics for "My Love Is Like...Wo" are composed in the traditional verse-chorus form. Mýa opens the song with brief spoken lyrics. She begins the first verse, followed by the chorus leading her into the second verse. The song continues to the bridge, chorus, then fades out with the piano and Missy chanting "Wo! Wo! Wo! Wo! Wo!".

## Critical reception

*Billboard* magazine gave "My Love Is Like...Wo" a positive review writing, "The doe-eyed girl next door is proving to be quite a versatile performer, with a decidedly vampish performance in the movie *Chicago* and new imaging that redresses Mýa as a sexy and certain young woman. The first single from forthcoming *Moodring* \[...\] is a playfully coy call to arms for the singer's more tactile attributes, from her love, her kiss, and her touch to her sex, ass, and body—all of which 'are like wo.' Get it? An appropriately hip-swaying beat swirls around the vocal, courtesy of ever-hitworthy producer Missy Elliott. This is the record that will propel Mýa to the A-list among today's pop/R&B icons; throughout the song, she delivers womanly strength and sass with a knowing wink. Moodring sounds like a perfect fit." In their review *Music Week* noted that Mýa "has not so far matched her US success over here", but was hopeful that would change due the songs growing support on MTV Base and Galaxy.

## Music video

The song's music video was featured on *MTV*'s *Making the Video*. The video was filmed and directed by Paul Hunter, who had previously worked with Mya on "Lady Marmalade" (2001) with Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil' Kim, and Missy Elliott. His concept for the video was to have Mya act as a one-woman show. Although this initially was not Mya's vision or idea for the song's video, she reluctantly agreed to it. She envisioned a scenario, in which she and her crew of "pimped-out females," dress up a la the Nicholas Brothers, in tuxes, hold canes and smoke expensive cigars. Adding her own twist, Mya also imagined them wearing fishnets and hot pants. She had pictured herself racily giving her male lead a "classy, Broadwayesque lapdance" to show him that her "love and ass is like WO!" However, she did voice her opinion in the styling of the video from the many different costumes changes. She came up with the ideas of the pimpstress and gangster look. In the video, Mýa smoked a cigar, then displayed her tap-dancing during the song's breakdown as well. The dance sequence in the video was choreographed by Travis Payne. The video was released on May 29, 2003.

## Live performances

Mýa made several television appearances to promote and perform "My Love Is Like...Wo."

## Legacy

In her interview with *Singersroom* former Bad Boy signee turned indie recording artist D∆WN praised Mýa as a dancer and her "My Love Is Like...Wo" video, commenting, "That’s something I want people to see as an R&B artist, because you haven’t seen any R&B artist do that many techniques and styles since really, Mýa. She was tap dancing in one of her videos. She was one of the first artists to really push different styles of dance in her videos." Speaking on behalf of "My Love Is Like...Wo" and its video, she gushed, In “\[My Love is Like\] Whoa” she was tap dancing and she did a little bit of hip-hop, then there was jazz moments." Concluding, Mýa was "really pushing the bar." Australian singer Nicole Millar covered "My Love Is Like...Wo" with DJ/producer Zuri Akoko for their *Covers* EP (2015). Out of the three tracks they chose to cover, Nicole cited "My Love Is Like...Wo" as her favorite cover.

**"My Third Husband"** is the third studio album by Australia rock singer-songwriter and guitarist, Deborah Conway. The album was released in October 1997 and peaked at number 79 on the Australian ARIA Charts. It was the final release of Conway's on the Mushroom Records label. Conway describes the album as a "dark, throbbing, hypnotic and dreamy kind of a record. A late night spin."

## Background and release

Following the release of Conway's second studio album, *Bitch Epic* in 1993, Conway formed an experimental band *Ultrasound* with Willy Zygier, Bill McDonald and Paul Hester. The band released an album in 1995. Conway recorded *My Third Husband* in London and included a new recording of the Ultrasound song called "Only the Bones (Will Show)" which was released as the first single late in September 1997.

## Critical reception

Anni Prasad from It's a Girl Thing said; "*My Third Husband* is a significant step forward in her sonic evolution. Unlike its predecessors, it's fueled less by catchy-pop melodies and more by richly-textured, forward-looking atmospheres. The disc takes listeners on an unpredictable aural journey through tranquil and turbulent soundscapes. It derives its diversity from a mix of hypnotic rhythms, ambient synthwork and processed guitars—most of which are courtesy of Willy Zygier, her partner in crime and d'amour."

title: Myingun Prince

abstract: Thu Mahar Thiri Dhammaraja, commonly known as Myingun Prince, was a royal prince during the late Konbaung dynasty. He is known for his role in the assassination of Crown Prince Kanaung in Myingun Myinkhondaing rebellion. Prince Myingun is portrayed as a villain by Burmese historians because his assassination of his father-in-law Crown Prince Kanaung, the kingdom's leading reformist, crippled attempts to modernize Burma's army and other institutions.

# Myingun Prince

**Thu Mahar Thiri Dhammaraja** (1844 – 20 September 1921), commonly known as **Myingun Prince**, was a royal prince during the late Konbaung dynasty. He is known for his role in the assassination of Crown Prince Kanaung in Myingun Myinkhondaing rebellion.

Prince Myingun is portrayed as a villain by Burmese historians because his assassination of his father-in-law Crown Prince Kanaung, the kingdom's leading reformist, crippled attempts to modernize Burma's army and other institutions.

## Early life

Myingun prince was born in 1844, before King Mindon ascended the throne, to Mindon prince and the Royal Queen of the Southern Gilded Chamber. His given name was Maung Myo Aye. He had a younger brother Myinkhondaing Prince.

He first conferred the title of Thilawa and later Thu Mahar Thiri Dhammaraja, and received the appanage of Myingun. In 1858, he married his first cousin, Meen Cho Bo, Princess of Taungnyo, daughter of Crown Prince Kanaung, by his wife, Myauk-saung Shin Key. He also married to saungya kolouptaw Shin O and Khinle Pya, the widow of his younger brother, the Prince of Myingundaing.

## Rebellion and later life

On 2 August 1866, Crown Prince Kanaung was beheaded by the princes of Myingun and Myinkhondaing in a failed coup against his father, King Mindon at a cabinet meeting in the palace. King Mindon, however, managed to escape the assassination. A minister and some officials were killed along with Kanaung.

After the unsuccessful coup, the two brothers and their mother ran away to Myingyan and later to Yangon. The British Colonial government sent them to Port Blair of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and then to Kolkata, Chunar and Varanasi. Burma fell under colonial rule in 1886 and they left for Saigon, a French colony at the time. From there, he led anti-British movements among Burmese people and saophas in Shan State. He returned to Myanmar twice in secret to supervise the fight against the British.

His efforts were largely stymied when Britain and France signed an agreement in 1904 that brought the colonial powers closer together, the Entente Cordiale. He continued his fight against the British until his last days in Saigon.

He died on September 20, 1921, at the age of 77 in Saigon, Vietnam.

Since the 1970s **party finance in Sweden** on all levels of the political system depends heavily on public subsidies With an estimated SEK 146 (more than $17) per voter a year the spending level is among the highest in the world of established democracies.

## Sources of funds

Public subsidies are the major source of party funds in Sweden. At the national level they provide 80 to 90 per cent of the major parties' annual revenue.

## Items of spending

With all Swedish parties "annual routine spending is far more important than extra campaign expenses".

## Regulation of political money

As a consequence of preserving the internal autonomy of political parties as voluntary associations there was no regulation whatsoever for many years. Parties and lawmakers believed that this autonomy had to be preserved. When GRECO started to evaluate "Transparency of Party Funding" in Council of Europe member states the organization recommended to require political parties "to keep proper books and accounts ... to ensure that income, expenditure, assets and debts are accounted for in a comprehensive manner following a coherent format", to consolidate such accounts to include local branches and provide for easy access of the general public to the annual accounts of political parties. The Swedish authorities replied "that they did not have any reason to believe that the longstanding self-regulation" needs to be amended. However, by the end of 2012, the Swedish government had "decided to initiate a legislative process with the purpose of ... making information regarding the funding of political parties more accessible. ... draft legislation would be submitted to Parliament in autumn 2013."

# S.F.X. Boys' Choir, Liverpool

**The S.F.X. Boys' Choir** was a Catholic boys' choir that existed from 1994 to 2007. The choir received nationwide fame when the choir sang on the reworked version of The Farm's 1990 hit "Alltogethernow" and for gaining its place in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1998 for being the first (and only) choir to sing in all 49 cathedrals and abbeys in England and Wales.

## History

The boys in the choir were all pupils at the college. There were 24 choristers and 18 choral scholars; included in these numbers there were traditionally a head and deputy head chorister and 6 senior choristers that were appointed every September at the start of the school's calendar year. All of the choral scholars had sung with the choir as choristers, and several of them would go on to achieve honorary chorister status which was achieved by spending all 7 school years in the choir.

The choir toured England and Continental Europe from 1995 to 2005, singing in many famous buildings across the continent, including 3 separate tours to Italy, where they twice met and sang for Pope John Paul II in 1999 and 2002. The Choir also had a 3-week tour of the Eastern United States in August 2004, singing in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. In total the choir sang in an impressive 90 different cathedrals worldwide in just 11 years.

Starting with the summer of 2001 up to the summer of 2005, the choir were official guests at Windsor Castle as 'choir-in-residence' singing services in St. George's Chapel for a week; this particular tour would usually include singing a week's services in Westminster Abbey.

The Choir released 8 CDs and occasionally made radio and television appearances, including Christmas 2000, when they sang Carols 'live' on 6 consecutive evenings after Granada Reports evening news had finished. In addition they were frequently hired to sing at charity concerts, wedding and funerals. Also from 2001 to 2006 they led the Hillsborough Memorial Service at Anfield Stadium to some 7000 plus guests attending the memorial and also led the BBC Radio Merseyside Carol Service in Liverpool Cathedral which was broadcast every Christmas Eve. Also in 2001 the choir had the honour of singing a special version of "You'll Never Walk Alon" to 45,000 spectators before Liverpool's 4th-round second leg tie against AS Roma.

Perhaps their most famous moment was being part of England's Official Euro 2004 song, which was a special version of 'Alltogethernow' with the band 'The Farm'. The song reached #5 in the U.K. singles chart; the choir received a gold disc and performed the song live on *Top of the Pops* in June 2004; the song was also performed live at a friendly match between England and Iceland before Euro 2004 began.

The choir has a reputation as one of the leading choirs of its type in the country, a feat recognised in 2000 when they won the National School Choir Festival to become champions of England.

The choir was unique in that all 42 choir members were pupils at a comprehensive school, some coming into the choir without any real knowledge or experience at a high-level performance, which makes the choirs achievements all the more remarkable.

However, at the height of their success, due to premeditated and malicious accusations against the founder and director of music, the choir last sang in a cathedral in October 2005, when they were in residence at Canterbury Cathedral. It began 2 years of uncertainty for the long-term future of the choir, and in the months that followed the choir only sang on rare occasions; when the accusations were later quashed in court, the director of music resigned and the choir disbanded in the summer of 2007. He was later cleared of all charges and the still choir exists to an extent, under an alias name with many of the original choristers.

# S.F.W.

***S.F.W.*** (or ***So Fucking What***) is a 1994 American black comedy film directed by Jefery Levy and written by Levy and Danny Rubin. Based on the 1991 novel of the same name by Andrew Wellman, it stars Stephen Dorff and Reese Witherspoon.

## Plot

Cliff Spab and his friend Joe Dice go out one evening to buy beer from a convenience store, where a group of masked and heavily armed terrorists take them and three other people hostage. The terrorists, who call themselves S.P.L.I.T. Image, have a video camera with which they tape their hostages' every word and action. During a month-long standoff with the police, S.P.L.I.T. Image's only demand is that their broadcasts be televised live on worldwide television, or else the hostages will be killed. S.P.L.I.T. Image makes good on the said threat by killing two of the hostages. Cliff, Joe, and a beautiful teenage girl named Wendy Pfister are the only surviving captives. After 36 days, Cliff becomes indifferent to being killed. He says repeatedly, "So Fucking What?", in reply to his captors' death threats. The coverage of this makes Cliff a media icon.

The movie skips forward to a hospital. Cliff has shot his way to freedom, taking a bullet in the shoulder while Joe has been killed. Despite his friend's demise, Cliff is branded a hero for saving Wendy and killing the terrorists. He is picked up from the hospital by his brother Scott. He is welcomed awkwardly by his domineering father and weak-willed mother. Cliff soon becomes disenchanted with the reporters camped on his front lawn and moves out.

Back on the street, Cliff finds his life changed forever by the convenience store incident. His line  abbreviated as S.F.W.  is on banners, newspapers, CDs, and billboard advertisements. At Burger Boy, the fast-food restaurant where he works, Cliff finds his name and image posted alongside a "Special $.36 *Spaburger*" (named after him), being marketed in commemoration of his 36 days in captivity.

Cliff visits Joe's older sister Monica. She resents the media idolization directed at Cliff, while her deceased brother has gotten neither sympathy nor attention. Cliff spends a night of empty passion with Monica. He visits another friend, Morrow Streeter, who lets Cliff hide out at the elegant home of his lawyer sister Janet. She advises Cliff to exploit his notoriety for personal gain. Completely lacking in any sense of purpose, Cliff hitchhikes out of Los Angeles. He gets a ride with a disaffected couple, who confide with him about their marital troubles. Realizing that running from his problems is pointless because they will follow him everywhere, Cliff discovers the inspiration he has been seeking. Using his celebrity status to his advantage, Cliff checks into a fancy hotel; when he offers to promote the establishment, he is given a free suite. Cliff holds press conferences, makes public appearances, holds autograph signings, and generally portrays himself as a rebel.

More than anything, Cliff aspires to reunite with Wendy. She has been featured on the news, but refuses to make any statement regarding her ordeal in the convenience store. Cliff reaches out to her and soon a romantic attraction develops, but their relationship is hampered by the reporters and paparazzi who shamelessly tail them. They evade the media and revisit the convenience store, which has been closed down and boarded up as a crime scene. After reminiscing how he and Joe overpowered and killed their captors in a huge gunfight, Cliff tells Wendy he would like to leave his notoriety behind him, just so the two of them can live out their lives together in a quiet romance.

A few days later, Cliff and Wendy make a public appearance at a local high school. They receive a standing ovation from a crowd of adoring students, who chant Cliff's line: "So Fucking What!" One distraught-looking student, Barbara "Babs" Wyler, does not join in the cheering. After a minute of sitting in angry silence, Babs takes a gun from her book bag and stands up. With a yell of "EVERYTHING matters!" she fires on Cliff and Wendy, seriously wounding them both. Media attention switches to Babs as she is arrested, booked, and indicted for attempted murder. Her line of "Everything matters" becomes the new public catchphrase, replacing Cliff's "S.F.W.". Reporters and other media people cannot stop talking about Babs' actions. Sharing their own hospital ward, the recovering Cliff and Wendy are elated that their media ordeal is over. They slip away to get married and to celebrate their newfound privacy.

## Cast

## Production

*S.F.W.* was filmed in October and November 1993, in Los Angeles.

## Reception

*S.F.W.* received negative reviews from critics. In a one-star review, critic Roger Ebert said "the film is intended as a satirical attack on the cult of celebrity", but its central figure is "the most singularly stupid, obnoxious character I've seen on the screen in many a day - which would be promising, if he were not boring, as well."

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 12% based on reviews from 17 critics.

## Soundtrack

*S.F.W.: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack* was released on CD on September 27, 1994 by A&M Records.

It contains 13 tracks, with two of them, "S.F.W." and "Spab 'N' Janet Evening/The Green Room", being written especially for this movie:

1. "Jesus Christ Pose" (Soundgarden) – 5:51
2. "Get Your Gunn" (Marilyn Manson) – 3:19
3. "Can I Stay?" (Pretty Mary Sunshine) – 3:04
4. "Teenage Whore" (Hole) – 2:58
5. "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" (Monster Magnet) – 5:00
6. "Like Suicide (Acoustic Version)" (Chris Cornell) – 6:11
7. "No Fuck'n Problem" (Suicidal Tendencies) – 3:31
8. "Surrender" (cover of Cheap Trick song) (Paw) – 3:56
9. "Creep" (Radiohead) – 3:57
10. "Two at a Time" (Cop Shoot Cop) – 4:01
11. "Say What You Want" (Babes in Toyland) – 3:35
12. "S.F.W." (GWAR) – 2:18
13. "Spab 'N' Janet Evening/The Green Room" (Graeme Revell) – 2:56

The director, when discussing the soundtrack, stated "In a way, this story parallels what happened to \[Kurt\] Cobain. It's a movie about a regular kid (Stephen Dorff) with an extraordinary sensitivity." Levy wanted to include Nirvana's "All Apologies" and asked Cobain to screen a rough cut of the film. While he states that "Kurt really responded to the movie", Levy missed getting permission to include the song due to Cobain's suicide. The soundtrack does include "Teenage Whore", a tune by Cobain's widow Courtney Love and her band Hole. Levy recalled "When she was responding (to Cobain's suicide note in a taped broadcast) she kept using the term 'So f -- -ing what'. It was weird."

The song *S.F.W.* by GWAR was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance at the 38th Annual Grammy Awards in 1996.

Other songs featured in the film but not on the soundtrack:

Almost all of the score was composed by Graeme Revell.

# S.K. Bagga

Advocate **S. K. Bagga** is an Indian politician and is member of the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Delhi. He is a member of the Aam Aadmi Party and represents Krishna Nagar (Assembly constituency) of Delhi.

S. K. Bagga is the son of S.L.Bagga. He was reported to be 61 years of age in February 2015. Bagga is a lawyer and a social worker. He is a M. COM (post graduate) and became an advocate (LLB) from Meerut University, Uttar Pradesh in 1992.

S. K. Bagga and his family were part of 2011 Indian anti-corruption movement under the leadership of Anna Hazare. He is the president of the Bhagwan Shri Ram Chander Dusshera Dharmik Committee, since 1993. The organization works for education of underprivileged children.

Bagga is a resident of Krishna Nagar, Delhi and working in the area as lawyer and social worker for more than 40 years.

## Political career

Bagga contested Krishna Nagar (Assembly constituency) in 2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections from the AAP against Kiran Bedi, the chief ministerial candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He raised the issue of a simplified Value-added tax (VAT) as well as other issues of traders. He got 65,919 votes and defeated his nearest rival Bedi by a margin of 2,277 votes.

Krishna Nagar was held by Dr. Harsh Vardhan of the BJP (since 1993), who vacated the seat when he was elected to the Indian Parliament in the 2014 Indian general elections. It was considered a bastion of the BJP and a "safe" seat for BJP, which banked on Harsh Vardhan's work in the assembly. Bagga's win was considered a "shocking" upset and earned him sobriquets like "man of the match", "giant killer" and "show stealer". The previously little-known Bagga rose to instant fame, after his victory. Bagga said that his victory was due to his work in the area, while Bedi, who does not reside in the area, was an "outsider".

title: Hibaldstow Bridge

abstract: Hibaldstow Bridge is an iron arch bridge that spans the River Ancholme, near the villages of Hibaldstow, in North Lincolnshire, and North Kelsey, in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire. A plaque mounted in the centre of the bridge reads "Erected By JTB Porter & Co. 1889 Lincoln". The bridge is a British Listed Building, and was Grade II listed on 6 January 1987. Its Historic England ID is 166019. The last part of the single-track road leading to the bridge from North Kelsey, known as Starham Road, is not asphalted and can be dangerous during adverse weather conditions as it runs on top of the embankment. It is, in places, badly potholed. On maps, the riverside stretch of road is either not marked, or shown as being of minimal quality. The bridge was used as the site to burn a Ford Transit Van involved in the burglary of an ATM in the second half of 2019. The bridge is now unusable as there are three large holes burnt into it.

# SCA (company)

**Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget SCA** (lit.'Swedish Cellulose Stock Corporation SCA') is a Swedish timber, pulp and paper manufacturer with headquarters in Sundsvall. It has approximately 3,300 employees and a turnover of approximately SEK 20.8 billion (€1.8 billion). Its main products include many one-use paper products, containerboard, solid-wood products, pulp and forest-based biofuel. SCA is Europe's largest private owner of forest land, with 2.7 million hectares. The global hygiene product company Essity was part of SCA until 2017.

## History

SCA was founded by Ivar Kreuger on 27 November 1929 as a holding company for ten Swedish forest industry companies. Following Kreuger's bankruptcy in 1932, the company came to be controlled by the bank Handelsbanken, who along with associated funds and companies continue to control SCA. Axel Enström was the managing director from 1950 to 1960 and chairman of the board from 1960 to 1965.

In 1975 SCA acquired Mölnlycke, a leading western European producer of disposable hygiene products, and in 1990 SCA acquired transport packaging company Reedpack. In 1995 the Germany-based paper and packaging company PWA was acquired. In 2001 the division Wisconsin Tissue of the United States company Georgia-Pacific Tissue was acquired.

In 2007, SCA bought the European business of Procter & Gamble, significantly expanding its hygiene product business. In 2008 SCA increases ownership in Chinese tissue company Vinda. In 2012 SCA divested its packaging operations – excluding the two kraftliner mills in Sweden – to DS Smith.

In August 2015 it was announced that SCA was to invest in increased capacity for mass production at the Östrand pulp mill in Timrå, Sweden. The annual production capacity of bleached sulphate pulp was to increase from approximately 430 000 tonnes to 900 000 tonnes. The investment amounted to approximately SEK 7.8 billion (€815m) and was expected to be one of the largest industrial investment in the history of Norrland.

In August 2015 it was announced that SCA's hygiene operations and forest operations were to be divided into two different divisions. A year later, 24 August 2016, the company announced that it intended to split SCA into two separately listed companies. In 2017 the company Essity was formed and was introduced on the Stock Exchange in Stockholm.

In September 2021, St1 and SCA announced their half-owned joint ventures St1 Gothenburg Biorefinery AB and SCA Östrand Biorefinery. The biorefinery in Gothenburg produces biofuel from pine oil from SCA and other renewable raw materials

The company also has forests in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which are responsible for managing their own forests, felling and purchasing timber in order to supply SCA's industries with raw material. SCA uses its forest to produce wood-based products such as sawn timber, paper pulp and packaging paper (kraftliner). The company owns wind turbines and produces solid and liquid biofuels from its by-products. The company also provides services for forest owners and transport solutions.

## Sustainability

SCA is nominated for sustainable forestry and certified products. Continuous work is underway to strengthen biological diversity and secure functional ecosystems.
